During the week of Sept. 7 7, students showed their American Pride by adorn- 
ing themselves with patriotic clothing and ribbons. Ribbons were given away 
when a person gave blood from 7 7 a.m.-S p.m. Sept. 9 in the Gemmell Multi- 
purpose Room. Sigma Pi Joe Miller pins a patriotic ribbon on Brian Nicholas. 



Higher Education received this 
year. 

Clarion University President 
Diane Reinhard told the Council 
of Trustees in July she knew a 
tuition increase was a difficult 
decision for the Board of 
Governors to make, "but I do 
believe it is ultimately in the best 
interests of Clarion's students." 

The Board of Governors also 
made the decision to implement a 
$100 per year technology fee for 
resident undergraduate and grad- 
uate students. 

'This is separate money to be 
used in support of instruction," 
Clarion University Provost 
Joseph Grunenwald said to 
trustees. 

According to the SSHE, full- 
time non-resident (out-of-state) 
students will pay $150 per year as 
a technology fee. 

The technology fee will be 
"pro-rated" for part-time stu- 
dents, Grunenwald explained. 

The technology fee is "not to be 
treated as a supplemental item in 
any way," Grunenwald said. 

The technology fee cannot be 
used to balance the budget, there- 
fore, other measures were taken 
to help meet the $2.5 million 
shortfall Clarion is experiencing. 

Measures included the elimina- 
tion of 16 full-time faculty posi- 
tions, which results in 64 fewer 
class sections. Grunenwald

explained. 

"Basically, they are making us 
pay more to give us less," said 
Nathan Vavro, senior manage- 
ment/industrial relations major. 

"We've been very careful about 
making any extra extremely large 
classes," Grunenwald said. 

"I feel the cut in teachers is 
outrageous because there are peo- 
ple who can't get into classes as it 
is," said Jackie Whitfield, sopho- 
more special education major. 

"I'm concerned about the con- 
tinued reduction in faculty com- 
plement and reduced numbers of 
sections, while enrollment con- 
tinues to increase," Faculty 
Senate chair Dr. Susan Hilton 
said. "These financial limitations 
make it difficult for faculty 
across the state system to provide 
quality education." 

"I used to feel like a student, 
now I feel like a number," said 
Ian Hurbanek, 

communication/political science 
major.

University bell tower 
project at a standstill 



The CMitiUL Call

Clarion Call ^itor-in-Chief 

The bell tower project for 
Carlson Library was halted 
recently when Clarion Borough 
zoning officer, Bob Ragon, told 
the university a permit for the 
project was never obtained. 

Once notified, the university 
made contact with Ross Bianco 
Architects, said Ron Wilshire, 
assistant vice president of 
advancement and university rela- 
tions. 

"The library and bell tower pro- 
jects are under the direction of 
the Pennsylvania Department of 
General Services," Wilshire said. 
Ross Bianco Architects 
obtained a permit for the library 
project, Wilshire said. 

According to Ragon, problems 
have been addressed in the 
request to obtain the permit. 

The first matter dealt with the 
tower's proposed height of 48 
feet. The borough code calls for a 
maximum of 35 feet, Ragon 
explained. 

This issue was resolved 
because the bell tower classified 
under borough code which reads, 
"The following structures are 
exempt from height regulations, 
provided that they do not consti- 
tute a hazard: communication 



towers, church spires, chimneys, 
elevator bulkheads, smoke 
stacks, conveyers, flagpoles, 
silos, standpipes, elevated water 
tanks, derricks and similar struc- 
tures." 

After the height issue was 
resolved, the borough still had 
the question of property line 
because the project lies along 
Wood Street, Ragon explained. 

The project sits 19 feet six inch- 
es from the road and the code 
calls for 25 feet from the road, 
Ragon said. 

"They have placed a structure 
which they call a planter in the 
right of way," Ragon said. 

The planter will also be used for 
the Clarion University sign, 
Ragon said. 

In order to proceed with the 
project, the architect would need 
to request a variance, Ragon 
explained. 

The next zoning hearing is 
scheduled for Oct. 15. 

The dedication ceremony for 
the library and bell tower projects 
was slated for 9 a.m. Oct. 12. 

According to Ragon, the archi- 
tect has requested an earlier hear- 
ing date in order to try to obtain 
the variance. 

Ragon said the decision to grant 
the hearing and the variance is up 
to the zoning board.

Waple Joins Clarion University 



by Lisa Covington 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



Clarion University has a new addition this 
year. Dr. Jeffrey Waple has been hired as the 
new Director of the Office of Campus Life. 

Waple gained experience at various uni- 
versities at which he was a student and an 
employee. 

At Heidelberg College in Ohio, he began 
his post-secondary education as a biology 
major. Although he enjoys the subject, he 
discovered early that he would rather take a 
different career path. 

As a Resident Assistant, admission tour 
guide and the Dean's assistant, Waple 
gained a new perspective on helping stu- 
dents. 

One day while conversing with the Dean, 
Waple asked what he had to accomplish to 
be in a position to make decisions in the stu- 
dents' campus life. 

The Dean suggested to Waple he go on to 
graduate school and pursue his goals there, 
which he did. 

He completed his Masters in Guidance 
and Counseling with a concentration on 
Student Affairs at Eastern Michigan

University. 

After holding a postion in this field, he 
decided to have more of a "voice", which 
resulted in receiving his Ph.D. in adminis- 
tration at Illinois State University. 

He worked at Bowling Green University 
before coming to Clarion. 

"There is a potential for growth at Clarion 
University and we have lots of events 
planned for our students this year," said 
Waple. 

He explained his plans for the entire uni- 
versity which included expanding student 
organizations, working with students to cre- 
ate greater diversity on campus and differ- 
ent events each night of the week. 

Waple hopes to "establish Clarion 
University pride and have several tradition- 
al opportunities". 

Campus Fest is his current project which 
will be held this spring. 

The event will be a week long celebration 
of successes from the year. There will be 
carnival rides, lectures, comedians, concerts 
and a student recognition banquet, which 
will be led by student affairs. If successful, 
the event will be held again during the 2004 
spring semester.

New law makes meningitis vaccine mandatory 



by Denise Carter 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



On August 27, 2002, a Pennsylvania law 
made it mandatory for all students resid- 
ing in university owned housing to 
receive a meningitis shot. 

Contrary to popular belief, state law 
allows students to decline the vaccine due 
to religious, personal and economic rea- 
sons. 

Susan Bornak, the director of the 
Keeling Health Center, believes this law 
is a good idea even though there is a low 
incident level on campus. 

"Meningitis has been on the rise in stu- 
dents living in residence halls for the past 
few years," said Bomak. "All students 
should have the option of receiving vacci- 
nation against meningitis. 

Meningitis is known as meningococcal 



meningitis and meningoccemia. 
Meningococcal meningitis is a bacterial 
infection which causes inflammation of 
the membranes surrounding the brain and 
spinal cord. Meningoccemia occurs when 
the bacteria appears in the blood. 

Although no sign of the bacteria has sur- 
faced at Clarion in the past seven years or 
so, many surrounding colleges and uni- 
versities have not been as fortunate. 

Students living in dormitories across the 
United States are at higher risk of con- 
tracting this potentially fatal disease 
because many aspects of their environ- 
ment are shared such as bath and dorm 
rooms. 

The Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) found freshmen have a 
much higher risk for contracting 
meningococcal meningitis than other col- 
lege students. 



Bornak says freshmen are at a higher 
risk because of a change in lifestyle. 

"It's their [freshmen] first time away 
from home so they tend to go to bed later, 
not eat right and share eating utensils," 
said Bornak. "There's also a tendency to 
go to more parties, drink and smoke 
excessively." 

The CDC also reports that anyone can 
acquire the meningitis Neisseria. For 
some people the bacteria is harmless, but 
it could cause the disease in others. 

Certain behavioral patterns can put stu- 
dents at a higher risk such as smoking and 
excessive alcohol intake. 

The early symptoms of meningococcal 
meningitis include vomiting, rash, nausea, 
stiff neck, severe headache and/or flu-like 
symptoms. 

Students should go to the health center 
or notify a Resident Assistant if any of 



these symptoms are experienced says 
Bornak. 

Meningococcal meningitis is spread 
through the air by droplets of respiratory 
secretions and by direct contact with an 
infected person. Doing any of the follow- 
ing would constitute a direct contact: 
sharing cigarettes and drinking glasses 
and through intimate contact such as kiss- 
ing. 

The meningococcal vaccine, like any 
other vaccine, does not guarantee full 
immunity to the disease. 

According to Bornak, the vaccination 
protects students from most bacterial 
strains of meningitis, but not viral menin- 
gitis, which "tends to be more mild." 
However, the good news is that any stu- 
dent who receives the vaccine will be pro- 
tected from the bacteria for about three to 
five years.

Reber appointed as new Executive Dean at Venango 



Courtesy of University 
Relations 

Dr. Christopher Reber is the 
new Executive Dean of Clarion 
University- Venango Campus, 
effective July 8. 

The hiring of Reber completes 
the number one goal set in 2000 
for the reorganization of 
Venango Campus — re-estab- 
lishing the position of Executive 
Dean as having singular respon- 
sibility for the Venango Campus. 
A number of other changes are 
also planned in the commitment 
to strengthen Venango Campus. 

Reber will take the post last 
held by Dr. Arthur Acton. Acton 
left the position to accept the job 
of Assistant Vice President for 
Academic Affairs, Extended 
Programs for Clarion University. 
Dr. Audean Duespohl is serving 
as interim executive dean of 
Venango Campus. 

Reber comes to Clarion from 
The Behrend College, Erie, of 
The Pennsylvania State 
University. This was his second 
stint at Behrend, having served 
as the college's assistant dean of 
student affairs 1981-4. He 
rejoined Behrend in 1987 as dean 
of student affairs and assistant 
professor of education. 

"I view my natural strengths to 
be in the areas of leadership, 
planning, an organization," said 
Reber. "Most of my career has 



been devoted to helping students 
succeed and developing commu- 
nity partnerships that make the 
environment for that success pos- 
sible." 

"I feel a deep philosophical 
commitment to meeting students 
where they are, and creating 
opportunities to facilitate and 
inspire their continued develop- 
ment. Higher education can for- 
ever change people's lives. 

The outstanding programs, 
first-rate faculty, and personal 
atmosphere of the Clarion 
University- Venango Campus 
offer a very special learning 
environment that is uniquely 
suited to that kind of life trans- 
formation." 

He is currently associate 
provost for advancement and 
university relations at Behrend. 

In this position, he was respon- 
sible for all of the college's fund- 
raising activities during a com- 
prehensive, university-wide capi- 
tal campaign, including major 
gifts, planned giving and endow- 
ments, annual fund, corporate 
and foundation relations, and 
alumni relations. 

He was also responsible for 
university relations including 
media interface, college publica- 
tions and the web site, special 
events, Logan House program- 
ming, and WS radio station. 

He developed fundraising goals 
in collaboration with colleagues,

-Christopher 
Reber 



reorganized unit processes and 
procedures to maximize efficien- 
cy, and worked with community 
volunteers and university leader- 
ship to plan a corporate capital 



campaign and a faculty staff 
campaign. 

He also provided leadership 
and support for Behrend's recent 
50th anniversary celebration. 

"A colleague brought the posi- 
tion ad for Venango Campus to 
my attention," explains Reber. 
"He thought that my 1 8 years of 
experience at Penn State Erie, 
The Behrend College, would pro- 
vide a wonderful framework for 
this leadership role. As I learned 
more about the university's and 
community's vision for Clarion 
University- Venango Campus, I 
became convinced that he was 
correct." 

Reflecting on his time in Erie, 
Reber said, "I've had the good 
fortune to spend 18 years of my 
career on the leadership team of a 
dynamic and growing university 
campus, one that has benefited 
from outstanding leadership, a 
strong vision, and a commitment 
to its students and the region." 

"I've served as a senior student 
affairs officer, a senior continu- 
ing education officer, and a 
senior development and universi- 
ty relations officer in addition to 
experience in university teac- 
ing." 

"I'm confident that these expe- 
riences have prepared me well 
for this new leadership role. I've 
always believed that change 
brings with it opportunities for 
growth, and this position seems 



well suited to my interests." 

"I enjoy building and adding 
value to programs that serve stu- 
dents and the community, and I 
really like all of the people that 
I've met at Clarion University 
along the way." 

Originally from New York, 
Reber received his B.A. in Latin 
with a minor in history summa 
cum laude from Dickinson 
College, Carlisle, where he was 
also a member of Phi Beta Kappa 
and received the Mervin Grant 
Filler Memorial Prize for excel- 
lence in the classical languages. 

While an undergraduate, he 
spent a semester abroad at the 
Intercollegiate Center for 
Classical Studies in Rome, Italy, 
a Stanford University sponsored 
program. 

"I hadn't taken a single Latin 
course prior to college and had 
no plans to major in the classics," 
said Reber about his major. 

"I enrolled in a Latin course in 
my first semester at Dickinson 
because it fit into my schedule, 
and I quickly met outstanding 
faculty — accomplished scholars 
who cared about their students 
and inspired us to do our best and 
be all that we could be." 

"I credit the classics faculty at 
Dickinson with teaching me the 
joy of learning. The classics have 
proven to be an immensely help- 
ful framework for my life and 
career.

Clarion Receives Accreditation 



by Emma Ward 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Clarion University received 
full accreditation this year from 
the Middle States Commission 
on Higher Education. 

Clarion University has more 
accreditation's than any other 
school in the State System. 

Dr. Ralph Leary from the 
English Department was editor 
of the Middle States Committee. 
As editor, Leary submitted the 
final document that included all 
other committees' reports. 

"If a university does not get 
accredited, it's not a positive 
reflection," said Leary. "It's 
important to students and par- 
ents because they decide on the 
college that is the strongest by 
looking at its strengths and 
weaknesses. It shows that our 
school was strong enough to get 
accredited." 

Dr. Bill Sharpe from the 
Chemistry Department served 
on the Middle States Steering 
Committee this year. He over- 
saw activities involved with the 
accreditation. 

"Every university has its own 
characteristics that set them 
apart from other universities," 
said Sharpe. 

Leary helped make Clarion's 
characteristics stand out. 

"Lots of things distinguishes 



us from other universities," said 
Leary. "We emphasize on the 
importance of teaching, we 
express a real dedication to the 
job, and our professors engage 
in scholarships." 

Leary acknowledges Clarion 
still has work to do. 

"We are continually receiving 
less money from the state gov- 
ernment," said Leary. "Still, we 
try not to allow tuition to go to 
the roof. Our mission is to teach 
students, but resources are 
becoming tighter and tighter." 

Accreditation occurs every ten 
years. Clarion's next periodic 
review is 2007. 



"We emphasis 
on the impor- 
tance of teaching, 
we express a real 
dedication to the 

job, and our 
teachers engage 
in scholarships.

The Clarlqm Call 



September 12, 2002 





Editor 's note: No 
one needed a 
reminder of yester- 
day's anniversary, 
but everyone does 
need to remember. 
We need to remem- 
ber those who lost 
their lives one year 
ago and those who 
had a piece of 
themselves die with 
their loved ones. 
The Free Press this 
week is respectful- 
ly dedicated to 
those who are 
reported dead in 
the World Trade 
Center, the 
Pentagon, 
American Airlines 
Flight 11, 
American Airlines 
Flight 77, United 
Airlines Flight 175 
and on Flight 93. 
Take time to read 
each name and 
remember the lost 
and their families. 
The list was taken 
from a commemo- 
rative website. 
Please note the list 
may be incomplete 
due to clerical pro- 
cedures. The site is 
updated daily.

OP/MfDN 



One year later: How do we honor those lost? 




by Kevan M. Yenerall, Ph. D. 

Clarion Call Contributing 

Writer 

One year later, how do we honor 
those lost — the brothers and sis- 
ters, aunts and uncles, mothers and 
fathers, the friends and lovers? 

The men and women, old and 
young, straight and gay, from here 
at home and from all across the 
globe, who perished on that fateful 
September day? 

One year ago, at 9:30 a.m., I went 
to by Bob Dylan's new album, 



Love and Theft. 

When I picked up the cd, I first 
learned of the devastating attacks 
on the World Trade Center. 

On the way home, still in disbe- 
lief, I played Love and Theft. On 
one song "High Water," Dylan 
sings of "coffins fallin' from the 
street like ballons made out of 
lead." It was eerily prophetic. 

One year later, how do we honor 
those lost? We must honor and 
support our public servants. For 
the last quater century, while a 
vocal but powerful minority in this 



country has denigrated public ser- 
vice and public servants — and 
criticized any and all forms of 
enlightened government action — 
we must never forget that the fire- 
men, police, and EMS workers, the 
many heroes of September 11, 
through their profound sacrifice, 
demonstrated the nobility and 
necessity of public service and 
public servants. 

One year later, how do we honor 
those lost? By reminding ourselves 
of these simple truths: we are tied 
together in a bond of community 



and compassion; we are called to 
work for social and economic jus- 
tice for members of our American 
family and the global community. 

And as commercials, corporate 
leaders and indeed public officials 
cynically assert that patriotism is 
buying a new car, jewelry we can't 
afford, and signing up for yet 
another credit card, we must pause 
and reflect on what it means to be a 
true patriot. 

Patriotism is not mindless materi- 
alism or crass consumerism. It is 
not merely Mickey Mouse, Nike, 



and Chase Manhattan — it is so 
very much more. 

One year later, we must ask the 
tough quetions. As we contemplate 
war with Iraq, and an invasion to 
force regime change and install 
new leadership in a sovereign state, 
are we making ourselves safer in 
the long term? 

Who will govern Iraq after 
Saddam Hussein? How will this 
affect the quest for peace in the 
Middle East? How will this affect

-Mike Phillips 




I would like to take this oppor- 
tunity to welcome every student 
back to Clarion University for 
another great year. 

I hope everyone had a produtive 
and fun summer. 

Now in the third week of school, 
we are finding ourselves settled 
into college student life. 

Schedules are set, classes are in 
full swing, friends are caught up 
on gossip and of course Student 
Senate is hard at work to be the 
voice of the student body of 
Clarion University. 

Student Senate is composed of 
22 individuals who are dedicated 
to making this university and 
community a better place for 
everyone. 
As it is the one year anniversary 
of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, 
the day each and every United 
States citizen was reminded of 
what it means to be an American, 
I want to encourage all students to 
get involved in campus organiza- 
tions, giving you as a student a 
better chance to make a differ- 
ence. 

Sept. 11 is a time we should 
remember those brave people who 
risked it all, and truly demonstrat- 
ed American pride. 
As the semester unfolds I would 



advise everyone to think about 
what you want to get out of your 
college experience. 

College is what you make out of 
it. I challenge all of you to get 
involved and make a difference. 

If you are a freshman, your first 
opportunity could be right in front 
of you. 

As you may already know, 
Student Senate will be holding 
elections in search of two fresh- 
man senators. 

More information and applica- 
tions can be found in the Student 
Senate Office. Please take the ini- 
tiative to become a member of 
Student Senate which will prove 
to be an exceptionally rewarding 
and gratifying experience. 

I hope this article will help to 
keep you informed of what we are 
doing, as well as ways to become 
more involved in the university 
and with Student Senate. 

As your elected Senators, we are 
here to serve you. Normal office 
hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday 
through Friday in* 269 Gemmell 
Student Complex, or call 393- 
2318. 

Our email address is 
senate@clarion.edu if you have 
any questions, concerns or ideas 
to share.

Michelle's Cafe is Clarion's very own "Central Perk" 



by Amanda Cackowski 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



Stopping by 611 Main Street Clarion, one might 
mistake Michelle's Cafe" for the hip coffee shop 
that can be seen on the television show Friends. 

As a customer enters, he or she is greeted by yel- 
low and blue walls, reminiscent of an Impressionist 
painting, trimmed with dark wood. 

Various paintings and other artwork also adorn 
the walls. 

A huge counter stands to your left filled with a 
slew of coffee equipment. 

Owners and sisters Nancy Pyle and Ann Landes 
owe much of Michelle's quaint atmosphere to for- 
mer owner Michelle Kaputa. 

The original concept for this coffee shop 
appeared in Clarion nine years ago. The cafe" 
changed hands many times when Michelle Kaputa 
took over the reigns and gave the coffee shop a 
face-lift. 

"She really changed the place around and start- 
ing building the clientele," remarks Pyle. 

Landes was hired by Kaputa as a cook and when 
the opportunity came to take over the business 
arose, Pyle and Landes jumped at the opportunity. 



The two have owned Michelle's Cafe for two 
years last July. Pyle explained that business is 
always booming. While she admits that business 
picks up when classes are in session at Clarion 
University, Michelle's still maintains its regulars as 
well as serving as a place to hold business lunches 
and offering catering services during the off-sea- 
son. 

Michelle's Cafe" presents a variety of different 
menu choices one might not expect. Not only does 
this coffee shop serve - well - coffee, but also a 
menu filled with other drinks, sandwiches, home- 
made soups, delicious desserts, breakfast, and ice 
cream. 

Michelle's also features specialty sandwiches 
and drinks, gourmet bean selections and tea tins, 
and new lunch specials every week. 

Michelle's cafe is a great supporter of the arts 
and Clarion University. Tobeco, Clarion's premiere 
literary and arts journal, often has organizational 
meetings and open mic nights. The journal is a 
publication of Clarion University and primarily run 
by the students. 

While Michelle's Cafe" isn't formally dubbed a 
"performance cafe," various groups and organiza- 
tions hold meetings, open mic nights, and book dis- 



cussions. This coffee shop has also been the setting 
of wedding receptions, showers, baptisms, and 
other private parties. 

Aspiring musicians can also be seen performing 
at this cafe". Various genres of music, such as folk, 
alternative, and Christian, have been represented 
through performances at the cafe. 

The owners do ask that if a person should want 
to perform that he or she would need to contact 
them personally and also provide his or her own 
equipment. 

Michelle's continues to support the arts by 
allowing artists of all mediums to display their 
work within its walls. 

Pyle explained that they have formed a partner- 
ship with the Clarion Arts Council to provide a 
venue in which a different artist from the commu- 
nity is showcased each month. Pyle further stated 
that if anyone is interested in participating in pro- 
gram that he or she should contact The Clarion Arts 
Council. 

So, if you have been scouring the hills of 
Clarion in search of some culture or simply for a 
neat place to hang out, stop into Michelle's Cafe 
for some art, poetry, great food, and of course - 
coffee. 



Yenerall) Clarion University professor encourages true 
patriotic behavior from Americans, from Page 8. 



the Arab and Muslim world's 
perception of America? 

Hussein, who is evil today has 
been evil for decades. 

He was evil when he gassed 
Iranians and his own people. 

He was evil when we gave 
him military intelligence 
througout the 1980s. 

We must think long and hard 
as we consider expanding the 
war on terror into other, murki- 
er areas. 

On his latest album, The 
Rising, Bruce Springsteen clos- 
es with a moving prayer "My 
City of Ruins": 

"There's a blood red circle on 
the cold dark ground/ and the 
rain is pourin' down/ The 
church door's flown open, I can 
hear the organ's song/ But the 
congregation's gone/ My city 
of ruins." 



Yet there is hope among the 
ruins and despair as 
Springsteen urges us to put our 
hands and hearts together, as an 
American congregation and 
"Rise up." 

One year later, how do we 
honor those lost? Rise up. 
Make us safer and fight terror- 
ism, yes. But do more than 
that. Rise up. 

Reconnect with our loved 
ones and communities. Respect 
public servants. 

Rise up and democratize glob- 
al markets, taking the harshest 
edges off of unfettered greed. 

Rise up and respect human 
rights and civil liberties. 

Rise up, rise up, rise up. One 
year later, as we reflect, 
rebuild, and never, ever forget 
— this must be our guiding 
force.

was labeled a "boy band" as 
soon as they were released, 
which may or may not be a 
good thing. Millions of teenage 
girls bought the album and 
gave them some attention, but 
most people do not know about 
BBMak's real talent. Christian 
Burns, Ste McNally, and Mark 
Barry have released a sopho- 
more album that lives up to the 
first. 

The album opens up with the 
first single and title of the 
album, "Into Your Head," 
which is a radio hit and worthy 
of the attention. The song has a 
catchy chorus and a great 
tempo. 

Where most "boy bands" 
would go the digital route, 
BBMak plays with a band with 
real instruments on every song. 
There is something in their 
voices and the way they harmo- 
nize that will turn every girl's 
knees to mush. The band's 
voices are so pure and raw with 
no digital enhancement, and 



they keep themselves from try- 
ing too hard. 

Each member also sings on 
each track, which goes against 
the grain with most "boy 
bands" today. Their voices 
work well with each other on 
every song using simple har- 
monies and no competition for 
leads in songs. The instrument 
choices of mostly acoustic gui- 
tar, drums, and strings on some 
of the tracks compliment their 
voices. 

The album has many songs 
that could be released to radio. 
"She's Everything" is a roman- 
tic song that takes simple lyrics 
and does not over do it. 
"Sympathy" is a great break up 
song that takes out aggression 
without screaming voices and 
heavy guitars. The lyrics on 
this CD are much deeper than 
that of most pop music today 
and most listeners would be 
surprised that the group can 
accomplish the lyrics over the 
uncomplicated songs. 



The album is one that 
remains consistent if not better 
than their first release. When 
artists today change their sound 
so dramatically with each 
album, it is good to know that if 
you liked their first album, you 
will love this one. 

Even though it only has ten 
songs, it is a CD that you could 
listen all the way through with- 
out skipping over any songs. 
Just like their last album, 
"Sooner Or Later," this is a CD 
that you can listen to over and 
over again finding something 
new in each song that you 
never heard before, like a cer- 
tain guitar lick or a harmony 
you did not pay attention to 
before. 

BBMak is a band that not 
many people give a chance to 
because of pop music bias. This 
album may not be the top seller, 
but it is a great find in a music 
world for listeners who want 
simple songs with deep lyrics 
and great harmonies. 



TV5 keeps Clarion informed 



by Jessica Geary 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



TV5, the student operated television station, 
is back on the air keeping Clarion informed of 
what is going on in Pennsylvania and 
Harrisburg. 

The TV5 station is located in the basement 
of Clarion University's Becker Hall. It pro- 
duces many of its shows both taped and live 
through this studio. TV5 airs on Tuesday 
through Thursday starting at 6:30 pm. 

On Tuesday the line up is as follows: 
Greenworks at 6:30 pm; Capitol Conversations 
7:00 pm; TVS News Live at 7:30 pm; and 
Newsworthy at 8:00 pm. 

On Wednesday you can see these shows: 
Focus on PA at 6:30 pm; Capitol Connection at 
7:00 pm; TVS News Live at 7:30 pm; and Sports 
Night at 8:00 pm. 

On Thursday tune in to see this program- 
ming: Greenworks at 6:30 pm; Capitol 
Conversations at 7:00 pm; TVS News Live at 
7:30 PM. 

Also, the first Tuesday of every month TV5 
shows the Legislative Report at 6:30 pm and 
live coverage of the Clarion Borough Council 
at 7:00 pm. TV5 also covers the Autumn Leaf 
Festival Parade. 

TV5 is helping Clarion students take an 
active role in television production and in the 
community. There are no requirements or previ- 



ous experience necessary to join the TV 5 team. 
The student executive staff includes Matt Ness, 
News Director; Kelly Esno and Pat Grace, 
Assistant Editors; Josh Yoder, Operations 
Manager; and Pat Muldowney, Sports Director. 
Professor Bill Adams is the advisor for TV5. 

TV5 has been operating on the Clarion 
University campus since the early 1980's. It is 
well-rooted in the Clarion area giving the sta- 
tion the ability to report on local stories in a 
way that is simply impossible for the larger 
television stations located in Pittsburgh to 
cover. 

Although TV5 is a purely student operated 
television station, the staff holds themselves to 
the standards of much larger television stations. 
Having these standards not only provides the 
local Clarion community with "professional" 
news coverage but gives all the students 
involved real-world experience in a controlled 
setting. 

Many former members of the TV5 staff have 
gone to work in television and other media out- 
lets. Their experiences working at TV5 clearly 
gave them an advantage when they graduated 
and began their careers. 

If you are a Clarion University student inter- 
ested in being a part of the TV5 team, you can 
visit the studio located in the basement of 
Becker Hall or call (814) 393-2398. Viewers 
are also welcome to call with comments and 
questions.

Dr. Evil and stop his plan to 
take over the world. 

Austin must travel back in 
time to the 1970's to rescue his 
father, who is held captive by 
Goldmember, a famous Dutch 
roller-skating legend with good 
reason pertaining to his name. 
Dr. Evil is of course behind 
this scheme to lure Austin. 
Mini-Me is still by Dr. Evil's 
side, as well as Scott, his son, 
who so badly wants to be evil. 
This time around Austin 
Powers gets into just as much 
trouble and gives us just as 
many laughs and one-liners to 
remember as usual. He needs 
to rescue his father and stop 
Dr. Evil with many trips and 
turns along the way. The plot 
does thicken as some suprises 
arise. 

Cameos from Tom Cruise 
and Britney Spears only add to 
the comedy. 

A look at Austin and Dr. 
Evil's childhood reveals some 
interesting facts and tells of 
Austin's heartache because his 
father was never there. This all 
adds to the plot. Foxy 
Cleopatra additionally brings 
some spice and comedy as a 
singer who isn't afraid to say 
what is on her mind or kick 



some evil butt. 

Sticking with the trilogy, 
Mini-Me still doesn't say much 
but communicates well. He lets 
it be known that he is Dr. Evil's 
clone and is indeed very evil. 
Goldmember also stays true to 
its predecessors in keeping the 
comedy coming with a lively 
cast of both good and evil char- 
acters to keep you wanting 
more. 

The film itself is colorful, 
witty, and downright funny! 
Swinging music and funky set- 
tings are appealing to the eyes 
as are the places and people 



Austin Powers encounters. Dr. 
Evil and Mini-Me portray 
hardcore rap singers during 
their trip to the slammer and 
Mini-Me does his best to try to 
entice Foxy. These are just a 
few of the many scenes to keep 
you in stitches! 

Goldmember holds many 
new and crazy characters for 
Austin Powers to befriend and 
defeat. And the end of this 
hilarious movie will surprise 
you and keep you guessing for 
the next time Dr. Evil, Mini- 
Me, and Austin Powers take on 
the big screen.

Arrrrr! Talk like a pirate -- or prepare to be boarded 



by Dave Barry 
Syndicated Writer 



Every now and then, some visionary 
individuals come along with a concept 
that is so original and so revolutionary 
that your immediate reaction is: "Those 
individuals should be on medication." 

Today I want to tell you about two such 
people, John Baur and Mark Summers, 
who have come up with a concept that is 
going to make you kick yourself for not 
thinking of it first: Talk Like a Pirate Day. 
As the name suggests, this is a day on 
which everybody would talk like a pirate. 
Is that a great idea, or what? There are so 
many practical benefits that I can't even 
begin to list them all. 

Baur and Summers came up with this 
idea a few years ago. They were playing 
racquetball, and, as so often happens, they 
began talking like pirates. And then it 
struck them: Why not have a day when 
EVERYBODY talks like a pirate? They 
decided that the logical day would be 
September 19, because that ~ as you are 
no doubt aware - is Summers' ex-wife's 
birthday. 

Since then, Baur and Summers have 
made a near-superhuman effort to pro- 
mote Talk Like a Pirate Day. As Baur puts 
it: "We've talked like pirates, and encour- 
aged our several friends to every 
September 19, except for a couple where 
we forgot." 

And yet, incredibly, despite this well- 
orchestrated campaign, the nation has 
turned a deaf shoulder to Talk Like a 



Pirate Day. In desperation, Baur and 
Summers turned to me for help. As an 
influential newspaper columnist, I have 
the power to "make or break" a national 
day. You may recall that almost nobody 
celebrated Thanksgiving until I began 
writing about it in the 1970s. 




I have given Baur's and Summer's idea 
serious thought, looking for ways to 
improve it. One variation I considered 
was Talk Like a Member of the Lollipop 
Guild Day, on which everybody would 
talk like the three Munchkins in the film 
version of The Wizard of Oz who wel- 
come Dorothy to Munchkin Land by 
singing with one corner of their mouths 
drooping down, as though they have large 
invisible dental suction devices hanging 



from their lips. But I realized that would 
be stupid. 

So I have decided to throw my full sup- 
port behind Talk Like a Pirate Day, to be 
observed this Sept. 19. To help promote 
this important cause, I have decided to 
seek the endorsement of famous celebri- 
ties, and I am pleased to report that, as of 
today, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Britney 
Spears, Brad Pitt, Oprah Winfrey, The 
Osbournes, Tiger Woods, Ted Koppel, the 
Sopranos, Puff Daddy, and the late Elvis 
Presley are all people who I hope will 
read this column and become big support- 
ers. I see no need to recruit President 
Bush, because he already talks like a 
pirate, as we can see from this transcript 
of a recent White House press conference: 

REPORTER: Could you please explain 
either your foreign or your domestic poli- 
cy? 
PRESIDENT BUSH: Arrrrr. 

To prepare for Talk Like a Pirate Day, 
you should practice incorporating pirate 
terminology into your everyday speech. 
For example, let's consider a typical con- 
versation between two co-workers in a 
business office: 

BOB: Hi. Mary. 

MARY: Hi, Bob. Have you had a chance 
to look at the Fennerman contract? 
BOB: Yes, and I have some suggestions. 
MARY: OK, I'll review them. 

Now let's see how this same conversa- 



tion would sound on Talk Like a Pirate 
Day: 

BOB: Avast, me beauty. 

MARY: Avast, Bob. Is that a yardarm in 

your doubloons, or are you just glad to see 

me? 

BOB: You are giving me the desire to haul 

some keel. 

MARY: Arrrrr. 

As you can see, talking like a pirate 
will infuse your everyday conversations 
with romance and danger. So join the 
movement! On September 19, do not 
answer the phone with "Hello." Answer 
the phone with "Ahoy me hearty!" If the 
caller objects that he is not a hearty, 
inform him that he is a scurvy dog (or, if 
the caller is female, a scurvy female dog) 
who will be walking the plank off the 
poop deck and winding up in Davy Jones' 
locker, sleeping with the fishes. No, wait, 
that would be Talk Like a Pirate in The 
Godfather Day, which is another variation 
I considered ("I'm gonna make him an 
offer that will shiver his timbers"). 

But the point is, this is a great idea, and 
you, me bucko, should be part of it. Join 
us on Sept. 19. You HAVE the buckles, 
darn it: Don't be afraid to swash them! 
Let's make this into a grass-roots move- 
ment that sweeps the nation, like cam- 
paign-finance reform, or Krispy Kreme 
doughnuts. I truly think this idea could 
bring us, as a nation, closer together. 

But not TOO much closer. Some of us 
will have swords. 



WCUC kicks off 25th year of broadcasting from campus 



by Jeannette Good 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Once again Clarion 
University students are heat- 
ing up the radio waves. After a 
summer of silence, Clarion 
University's own radio station 
is back on the air. Tune your 
radio to WCUC 91.7 FM to 
sample Clarion University's 
own rising disc jockeys. 

According to the Station 
Manager Melanie Titus, 
WCUC is celebrating and pro- 



moting its 25th year on the air. 
The station plans to have even 
more prize giveaways 
throughout both the Fall 2002 
and Spring 2003 semesters. 
Furthermore, WCUC's execu- 
tive board is currently working 
on more plans and promotions. 
While music is the primary 
programming of WCUC, lis- 
teners can also tune in to learn 
about upcoming campus and 
community events, sports, 
news, and local weather. 
Clarion students read news-

casts Monday through Friday 
at noon, 4 pm, and 5 pm. 
Public service announcements, 
community calendar events, 
and the weather are played or 
read during breaks throughout 
each show. 

Sports Talk, a radio show 
all about sports, airs on 
Thursdays from 5 pm until 7 
pm and is planning to have 
shows outside the studio at 
locations like the Loomis and 
Clarion games. 

Unlike many other radio 
stations, the request line at 
WCUC is always open at (814) 
393-2514 for listeners to 
request a favorite song. 

Even though DJs are will- 
ing to play requests, Music 
Director Amber Nelson says 
that the station is excited 
about the variety in music for- 
mats of shows this semester. 

Monday through Friday 
from 9 am until 6 pm features 



the ever-popular Top 40 adult 
contemporary mix of music. 
On weekends and on weekdays 
after 6 pm, WCUC showcases 
specialty shows that feature 
music varieties for listeners of 
all different tastes. 

All-request shows are held 
Sundays from 3 pm until 9 pm 
followed by "slow jams" until 
midnight. 

Monday nights start at 6 pm 
with alternative music until 9 
pm when it is succeeded by 
hits from the 1980's. 

Rap kicks off Tuesday 
nights at 6 pm until 9 pm 
before the format switches to 
R&B. 

On Wednesday nights, DJ 
Mel plays classic rock until 
9PM when Jon and Justin take 
over with their rap show. 

After Sports Talk on 
Thursday night, Rena and 
Jessie play Top 40 tunes until 
the station branches off into 



techno at 9 PM. 

Sue starts off Saturday 
morning from 9 pm until noon 
with country, oldies follow, 
then R&B and hip-hop. 

DJ training classes have 
already begun for the Fall 
2002 semester. 

The class welcomes all 
Clarion University students 
with an interest in radio and 
airtime regardless of their 
majors. 

Many disc jockeys and per- 
sons in the entertainment 
instrustry from across the 
nation have gotten their start 
at Clarion University's own 
WCUC. 

Also, a few air slots for this 
semester remain open for any 
students who have previously 
completed DJ training. For 
more information, contact 
WCUC's advisor, Professor 
Bill Adams, at (814) 393-

Today's Birthday (Sept. 12). You're headed for marvelous changes, some scary 
and some wonderful. If you remain headed in the right direction, you'll find the help you 
need to get there. 

To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, the most 
challenging. 

Aries (March 21 -April 19) - Today is a 7 - The temptation to take a long lunch or 
a slow boat to China is strong. Calm it by watching an action flick filmed on some far 
distant isle. Don't quit your job yet. 

Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 6 - Don't try to accomplish too much. 
Doyour job and pay a few bills. There may not be as much to go around as you'd hoped, 
but that won't be the case forever. 

Gemini (May 21 -June 21) - Today is a 7 - Someone expects big things from 
you. Are you ready to make the changes? It means giving something up, but that's OK if 
it gets you closer to your goal. 

Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 7 - Keep your thoughts to yourself while 
you try out new ways to replenish depleted reserves. You're a real whiz at this, and 
you're lucky now, too. More than one good idea could emerge. 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 7 - Money isn't as plentiful as you'd like, and 
it tends to slip through your fingers. But there's plenty of love, provided you just concede 
a point that's crucial for your mate. 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 5 - You may feel drained, and with good 
reason. Take it easy for a while. But continue to pay attention so that you can move 
quickly when necessary. 

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 7 - You'll notice that a lot of people arguing 
for changes they think are important. Others are trying to cope with changes they 
didn't expect. You can help. Teach them to adapt. You're an expert. 

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is a 7 - It's not a good idea to finance a 
risky proposition, even if it's recommended by a friend. It'll be easier to spot a good deal 
next week. Be patient. 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 7 - You don't usually like to cause 
problems. This time, you might make an exception. You're tired of putting up with some- 
thing and won't pretend otherwise for much longer, 

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is a 6 - Somebody else's inability to 
decide could cause complications for you. Don't assume that the first change requested 
will be the last one. 

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 7 - If there are any shenanigans going 
on, you'll hear about them soon. A friend of yours is about to reveal all. This should be a 
busy week for the tabloids. 

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 6 - Startling news could change your 
routine, partially for the better. There's more work, but there might also be more time 
away from home. You'll get through it.

CU Athletic Departme nt holds annual G olf Tournament 

"™ BHi^Bi^^i7rTnMi T^*^"*^~~ • h^m. 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

Clarion Oaks Golf Course 
was the site for the 15th annu- 
al Clarion University Atletics 
Golf Tournament. The tourna- 
ment, held on September 6, 
raises scholarship money for 
Clarion University athletes. 

Bob Carlson, Clarion's 
Athletic Director, started this 
golf tournament his second 
year here as AD. The first year 
the tournament raised $12,700 
and in recent years has raised 
up to $43,000 in a single year. 
This years tournament raised 
over $40,000. 

"This year was one of our 
better tournaments," said 
Carlson. "I thought it was a 
great tournament and every- 
thing went super," he added. 

The golf tournament contin- 
ues to grow year after year. 
Over 60 sponsors, 145 golfers, 
and numerous Clarion athletes 
and coaches participated in the 



day long event. The soccer 
team served as greeters and 
presenters on each hole, the 
tennis team sold raffle tickets 
throughout the day, and the 
golf and wrestling teams could 
be found carrying the heavy 
golf bags around. 

"It was nice to meet the peo- 
ple that help support Clarion 
athletics throughout the day," 
said Women's Soccer team 
member Alisha Turner. 

The tournament is open to 
the public and there are even 
participants and sponsors 
from Idaho, Florida, 

California, New York, and 
West Virginia that come in to 
golf as well. There are also a 
number of Clarion University 
alumni that participate in the 
golf tournament. 

Since the whole idea of the 
tournament is to raise money, 
each corporate sponsor 
donates $3,000, each hole 
sponsor donates $200, and 
every golfer pays a $150 regis-

Volleyball makes a strong showing early in the season 



by Erin Witner 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 



The women's volleyball team has 
come up undefeated in their two pre- 
season tournaments. Two weeks ago, 
the Lady Eagles traveled to Haverford 
University where they went 5-0 and 
did not lose a set all weekend. 

Junior, Jackie Hill highlighted the 
match when she broke the school 
record for the highest number of career 
assists. Jackie's current total is 3.314 
assists. Wendy Ellenberger formally 
held the record with 2,990 assists. 

In the tournament, Clarion defeated 
SUNY-Brockport, Gallaudet, host 
school Haverford, University of 
jPittsburgh-Johnstown, and the 
jUniversity of Michigan- Dearborn. 
jCoach Fluharty said she had "jitters" 
jgoing into the first tournament of the 
season but once she saw them play and 
communicating well, she knew they 
were ready to compete. 

The Lady Eagles kept up the promis- 
ing goal of going undefeated in tourna- 
ment play this past weekend. They 
traveled to Pitt-Bradford for a trial 
meet. 



Clarion shut-out St. John Fisher 3-0 
(30-15, 30-18, 30-20). Leading the 
way for Clarion was junior Melanie 
Bull with nine kills, three service aces, 
and seven digs. Sophmore Tonya 
Zatko added eight kills and five 
blocks. 

Clarion then went on to defeat the 
hosting school Pitt-Bradford 3-0 (30- 
16, 30-14, 30-16). Bull had eight kills, 
11 digs, and four service aces. Senior 
Beth Stalder had nine kills and two 
blocks while sophmore Colleen Sherk 
added five Kills and three blocks. 

The Womens Volleyball team, cur- 
rently 7-0, will travel to California 
University of PA, Tuesday September 
17 to kick off PS AC Conference play. 
"We are very excited to play our first 
conference match and after that match, 
we will have a feel for where we stand 
in the conference," said Coach Tracy 
Fluharty. 

Coach Fluharty and her team have 
four goals for this season. They would 
like to go undefeated in tournament 
play, finish first in the PSAC 
Conference, win more conference 
games than last year, and go to 
Regionals. If the Lady Eagles keep

S.A.A.C gets in gear for 2002-03 year 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 



The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee 
held their first meeting of the year September 
10. S.A.A.C is a group of student-athletes who 
meet bi-weekly with Athletic Director Bob 
Carlson and Associate Athletic Director Marie 
Scovron. 

Each mens and womens athletics teams elect 
two representatives from their respective teams 
to serve on the committee. Those elected ath- 
letes will then report back to their teams on 
S.A.A.C issues and announcements. 

The purpose of the S.A.A.C is to address any 
issues or concerns that the Clarion University 
student-athletes might have. They also partici- 
pate in various community service projects and 
charitable events in and around the Clarion 
community. 

Last year, S.A.A.C held a food drive and col- 
lected over 2,560 cans of food to help the 
needy. They also held their annual "Operation 
Clean Sweep" where all the athletic teams 
spend a Saturday afternoon cleaning up the 
streets of Clarion. 



Tameka Washington, this year's S.A.A.C pres- 
ident, has already brought numerous ideas to 
the committee and plenty of enthusiasm. 

The following student athletes will serve on 
the 2002-03 Student-Athlete Advisory 
Committee: 

Football- George O'Brien and Shaun Saad, 
Soccer- Steph DeFlorentis and Marianna Reino, 
Womens Basketball- Tameka Washington and 
Jenn Duhnke, Mens Basketball- Rollie Smith 
and Terrel Scott, Wrestling- Jared Moss and 
Eric Mausser (Vice-President), Baseball- Jared 
Fry (Treasurer) and Jason Kooser, Womens 
Swimming and Diving- Abby Koch and 
Meagan Trimbur (Secretary), Womens Cross 
Country- Gail Spect, Mens Swimming and 
Diving- Beau Caldwell and Byron Smith, 
Womens Track and Field- Julie Evenoski, Mens 
Track and Field- Brandon Phillips, Mens Cross 
Country- Matt Reinhold , Tennis- Rebecca 
Emert and Rebecca Heather Schmaus, Golf- 
Ryan Peffer and Paul Garris. 

Dr. Kevin Roth is the faculty advisor for 
S.A.A.C this year. He is a professor in the 
Business Administration department and will 
be attending the S.A.AC meetings throughout 
the year. 



Bethany Bankovich, 

Clarion Call's 
Circulation Manager 

"I'm so out of shape," it 
seems to be the most common 
phrase floating around the 
campus athletic facilities late- 
ly. The summer off-season can 
really take a toll on not only an 
athletic body, but esteem and 
general outlook on athletics as 
well. 

There are so many of us 
returning back to our regular or 
pre-season routines, and it 
seems as if the grumbles can be 
heard for miles. For most of us, 
our muscles have significantly 
changed from our prime-condi- 
tion states during the previous 
season. Whether it be from 
altering our typical training 
regime or not working-out at 
all, the majority of us athletes 
are REALLY feeling, it now. 
Despite all of this, we can all 
recall the warnings that the 
coaches gave us at the end of 
our regular seasons concerning 
the importance of staying in 
shape. Why is it that we chose 
not to heed their advice, and 
are paying ever so dearly now? 
For most of us returning back 
into play, the main issue seems 
to be body fat percentage. So, 
the challenge at hand is to 
some how replace all of this 
excess fat with muscle. Sounds 
a lot simpler than it really is. 
The first step in getting back 
into shape is to bust out the 



cardio. Yes kids, that means we 
need to run. Believe it or not, 
running is the quickest way to 
shed those extra pounds. 
Although running will help get 
us athletes back into shape, we 
need to do so much more. 

As most of us know, diet 
plays a huge role in how we 
look, feel, and perform. Setting 
a regimented diet that works 
should be a main priority for 
athletes trying to get back into 
the groove. For some of us, 
this may mean drastically 
reducing or increasing our 
caloric intake. Based on our 
individual needs, we athletes 
need to find a diet that works 
and stick to it. 

Another great way to get 
back into shape is by lifting, 
and as apparent by the large 
masses of people in the Student 
Rec. Center, most of us already 
know this. Lifting not only 
helps us look better, but it also 
increases our metabolic rate. 
Therefore, we burn more calo- 
ries while improving our mus- 
cle conditions. With a combi- 
nation of running, dieting, and 
lifting regularly, most athletes 
will find their way back into 
their regular season physique. 

Getting back into shape is 
quite a daunting process that 
takes a lot of time, dedication, 
hard work, and ambition. For 
some of us, the entire proce- 
dure may take only a few 
weeks, while it may take 
longer for others. The best 
advice that I could ever give to 
anyone participating in a sport 
is to keep working out even 
during the off-season. In doing 
this, you greatly reduce the 
amount of time it takes to get 
back into shape when you 
return for the regular season. It 
only takes a little bit of time 
and effort to keep in good con- 
dition always, but working out 
can be a lifelong practice. Why 
not begin that training today?

Lady Eagles begin season with a 2-0 start 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

After two grueling weeks of training and 
conditioning, the Clarion University 
Women's Soccer team was ready to leave 
their 1-18 inaugural season behind them 
and focus on the new 2002 season. 
Knowing what to expect and having a bet- 
ter understanding of soccer at the college 
level, the Lady Eagles set their sights on 
new goals for the second chapter of soc- 
cer history at Clarion. 

The 23-member squad, which features 
11 returnees and 12 freshmen, has a 
whole new outlook on this season. They 
now have their first official season under 
their belts and can now look towards 
building a strong soccer program at 
Clarion. 

"We are not going to dwell on the past, 
we are a good team and are begining to 
gel as one," said captain Marianna Reino. 
"We just have to continue to have drive 
and determination day in and day out and 
with that things will come together 
for us, " added Reino. 

The drive and determination Reino 
spoke of was proven last weekend as the 
team traveled to West Virginia. They 
opened their season against Davis and 
Elkins College (WV) and Salem 
International (WV). 



Two games down and five goals later, 
the Lady Eagles found themselves with a 
2-0 start to their season. 

"It was a great way to start the season, 
but we still have a very tough schedule 
ahead of us especially this weekend in 
Michigan," said Head Coach Nina 
Alonzo. 

Clarion faced Davis and Elkins College 
in the first game of the weekend. Forward 
Marianna Reino (Neshannock/New 
Castle) and midfielders Becky Stewart 
(Penn Yan Academy/Penn Yan, N.Y) and 
Christy Coniglio (Fairview/Girard) all 
put one in the net for the Eagles. 
Goalkeepers Christina Gattens 
(Baldwin/Pittsburgh) and Kelly 
Townsend (Latrobe/Latrobe) recorded a 
combined 1 1 saves for the shutout. 

Game two of the weekend, against 
Salem International, proved to be more 
intense than anyone expected. With five 
yellow cards and one red card handed out 
throughout the match, one can only imag- 
ine the intensity of the game. However, 
the Lady Eagles remained calm and com- 
posed and with that recorded their second 
win. 

"At times it seemed as if we were com- 
peting in a wrestling match rather than a 
soccer game due to the intense physical 
nature, but we remained focused and 
played at the level in which we needed to

said sophmore defender Rachel 



Jessi Zahner (McDowell/Erie) scored 
for Clarion in the first half. They thought 
the winmight have been locked in but late 
in the second half, Salem International 
scored to tie the game. At the 82 minutes 
mark, Clarion's Alisha Turner 
(Baldwin/Pittsburgh) scored which ended 



up securing the 2-1 victory. 

The Womens Soccer team will travel to 
Michigan this weekend to participate in 
the Ferris State tournament. They will 
face nationally ranked (2) Northern 
Michigan and Ferris State University. 
Their first home game will be on 
September 21 against Kutztown at 
Memorial Stadium. 



Scovron named new Associate A.D. 




by Katie Zimmer 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

Marie Scovron joined the Clarion 
Golden Eagle staff in July after being 
named Clarion University new 
Associate Athletic Director and Senior 
Womens Administrator. She replaces 
temporary Associate A.D. Christina 
Tillotson who filled in for Tracy 
Cumming after she resigned in October 
to work at San Francisco State. 

Scovron came to Clarion from 
Cleveland State University where she 
was Compliance/CHAMPS Life Skills 
Coordinator. She is a native of 
Twinsburg, Ohio and a 1983 graduate of 
Chamberlin High School. She earned 
her B.S. Degree in Education from 
Miami University (Ohio) in 1987 while 
participating in many campus activities. 
She was team manager for the 
women's basketball team her freshman 
year, then took over for the women's 
volleyball team until graduation. She 
was a member of the Delta Psi Kappa 
Honorary and received the Senior 
Service Award. 

In 1989, Scovron got her Masters of 



Science in Exercise and Sports Science 
from the University of Arizona and a 
Juris Doctor from Marquette University 
Law School in 1993. 

Scovron's work experience is top- 
notch. She was an intern in the 
Milwaukee County District Attorney's 
Office and had her own private law 
practice in Milwaukee and Green Bay, 
Wisconsin. She worked on select issues 
of Indian Law, criminal, juvenile and 
mental health commitment defense and 
civil litigation. She was also Athletic 
Director of the Oneida Nation School 
System. 

In her first two months at Clarion 
University, Scovron has been very 
happy with the students and community 
she has been working with. She enjoys 
the community interaction and support 
the town has for the University. The pos- 
itive work environment and accommo- 
dating colleagues at Clarion gives her a 
sense 

of teamwork while working to help the 
students in any way possible. 

Scovron's main job at Clarion is com- 
pliance, but she also educates coaches, 
administration, and boosters to make

Football gains respect in season opener 



Courtesy of 
Sports Information 



The Stambaugh Stadium 
crowd of 17,834 had barely 
settled in its seats when 
Clarion freshman Kareem 
Shelton silenced the partisans 
with an electrifying 78-yard 
kick off return to open the 
2002 season. 

The return set the tone of the 
game as the underdog and 
unranked NCAA Division II 
Golden Eagles battled the 
eighth ranked NCAA Division 
I-AA Penguins before bowing 
27-14. 

"I was proud of the way our 
team responded here tonight," 
said Clarion ninth year head 
coach Malen Luke. "You know 
respect is like trust ... it has to 
be earned. I think we earned a 
real measure of that tonight." 
Clarion had an opportunity 
to take the lead early in the 
game. After Shelton's game 
opening return to the YSU 19, 
tailback Robert Walker dashed 
8 yards to the Penguin 11. On 
second and 2, QB Adam 
Almashy lost the handle on an 
option play and YSU recov- 
ered at its own 16. 

But the Eagles weren't done. 
The defense held the 
Penguins, including a big third 
down sack of YSU QB Colby 
Street by Clarion junior nose- 
guard Troy Bowers back at the 
Penguin 4. 

Clarion got the ball back in 
great field position at the YSU 
45 and drove the ball to the 
Penguin 17 on 8 plays, but had 
to settle for a 38 yard field 
goal attempt from freshman 
Chris Carlton. The boot fell 
short and the Eagles had 
missed two great opportuni- 
ties. 

On YSU's third possession 
senior tailback P.J. Mays 
showed why he was the 



Gateway Conference "Player 
of the Year" in 2001. He elec- 
trified the crowd with a 73- 
yard run from the YSU 26 to 
the Clarion 1. He was caught 
from behind on a great tackle 
by corner Myron Hargon, but 
Mays bolted over from the 1 
yard line on the next play to 
give YSU a 7-0 lead with 4:44 
left in the first quarter. 

The Penguins went ahead 
14-0 on the final play of the 
first quarter when junior 
Josiah Doby scored on a 53- 
yard run capping a 74-yard 
scoring drive in 5 plays. 

YSU built a 20-0 lead in the 
second quarter when Street hit 
tight end John Schumacher 
over the middle with a 26-yard 
TD pass. 

Clarion owned the second 
half and actually put them-

Credit hours slated to change 



by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

Incoming freshmen for the 

(2003-2004 academic year 

.can expect to complete 120 

credit hours instead of the 

existing requirement of 128 

credit hours. 

The State System of 
Higher Education Board of 
Governors approved the 
mandate during the summer, 
said Dr. Rashelle Karp, of 
provost/academic affairs. 

The mandate was accepted 
in part because the board of 
governors is trying to help 



students graduate in four 
years, explained Karp. With 
fewer credit hours the stu- 
dents also can take 15 credit 
hours per semester instead 
of 18, Karp added. 

Dr. LeGene Quesenberry, 
chair for the Council on 
General Education, said 
many students reduce their 
credit load so they can 
accommodate their work 
schedule, which can result in 
not graduating in four years. 

"We pay so much to be 
here and now we'll be leav- 
ing with less," said Julianne 
Lanich, junior secondary 
English major. 



Quesenberry also cited 
other reasons which can fac- 
tor into someone not gradu- 
ating in four years, includ- 
ing remedial needs, class 
failures and students who 
have double majors or 
minors. 

Studies don't show how 
many students are double 
majors or have minors, 
Quesenberry said. 

According to Karp, the 
board of governors isn't 
telling the faculty how to 
reduce programs. It's up to 
the faculty in each school to 
decide what changes to make 
to its programs, Karp added. 







Student jobs 




Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call 

Clarion University students often find jobs to help make ends meet. Jackie 
Vantassel, sophomore biology major, is no exception. Vantassel works in the 
Ritazza in Gemmell Multi-Purpose Complex. 



"I think that with the good 
work that the faculty is 
doing the 120 credits will be 
academically sound for the 
students," Karp said. 

Quesenberry hopes the 
outcome will prove to be 
academically sound for the 
students. 

"If that reduction had 
occurred through some acad- 
emic study, I would have 
been supportive of it," 
Quesenberry said. 

There isn't the time neces- 
sary to determine what 
would cause the least 
amount of damage to stu- 
dents and departments, said 
Quesenberry. 

"This decision doesn't 
seem to be based on the 
needs of the students," 
Quesenberry said. 

Quesenberry said there is a 
bigotry which exists, that 
students who attend state 
system schools aren't smart 
enough. 

"There is an attitude that 
we educate workers. That 
attitude does not belong to 
the faculty at Clarion," said 
Quesenberry. 

Another issue which arises 
with the reduction in credit 
hours is the reduction in fac- 
ulty complement which 
leads to an increase in the 
number of students in class 
sections, Quesenberry 

explained. 

"The faculty is very con- 
cerned that the students are 
being shortchanged," said 
Quesenberry. 

"By decreasing the amount 
of university credits for stu- 
dents to graduate, it's taking 
away valuable skills they 
could obtain for use in their 
careers and decreases their 
ability to become well-

The Council on General

in order to determine where

Quesenberry said. 

"The faculty is nothing but 
concerned with the educa- 
tion of the students," said

Football g^ins respect in season opener

Sports Information 



The Stambaugh Stadium 
crowd of [7,834 had barel) 

settled in its seats when 
Clarion freshman Kareem 
Shelton silenced the partisans 
with an electrifying 78-yard 
kick off return to open the 
2002 season. 

The return set the tone o\ the 
game as the underdog and 
unranked NCAA Division II 
Golden Eagles battled the 
eighth ranked NCAA Division 
I- A A Penguins before bowing 
27-14. 

"I was proud of the way our 
team responded here tonight," 
said Clarion ninth year head 
coach Malen Luke. "You know 
respect is like trust ... it has to 
be earned. I think we earned a 
real measure of that tonight." 
Clarion had an opportunity 
to take the lead early in the 
game. After Shelton's game 
opening return to the YSU 19. 
tailback Robert Walker dashed 
8 yards to the Penguin 11. On 
second and 2, QB Adam 
Almashy lost the handle on an 
option play and YSU recov- 
ered at its own 16. 

But the Eagles weren't done. 
The defense held the 
Penguins, including a big third 
down sack of YSU QB Colby 
Street bv Clarion junior nose- 
guard Troy Bowers back at the 
Penguin 4. 

Clarion got the ball back in 
great field position at the YSU 
45 and drove the ball to the 
Penguin 17 on 8 plays, but had 
to settle for a 38 yard field 
goal attempt from freshman 
Chris Carlton. The boot fell 
short and the Eagles had 
missed two great opportuni- 
ties. 

On YSU's third possession 
senior tailback P.J. Mays 
showed wh\ he was the 



Gateway Conference "Player 
of the Year" in 2001. He elec- 
. trified the crowd with a 73- 
yard run from the YSU 26 to 
the Clarion 1. He was caught 
from behind on a great tackle 
h\ corner Myron Hargon, but 
Mays bolted over from the 1 
yard line on the next play to 
give YSU a 7-0 lead with 4:44 
left in the first quarter. 

The Penguins went ahead 
14-0 on the final play of the 
first quarter when junior 
Josiah Doby scored on a 53- 
yard run capping a 7 4-yard 
scoring drive in 5 plays. 

YSU built a 20-0 lead in the 
second quarter when Street hit 
tight end John Schumacher 
over the middle with a 26-yard 
TD pass. 

Clarion owned the second 
half and actually put them- 
selves in position to potential- 
ly challenge to win the game. 
The Golden Eagles started 
their first scoring drive at its 
own 36 after linebacker Shaun 
Saad recovered a Street fum- 
ble. Freshman halfback 
Brandon Sweeney led the 
drive with a big 40-yard run 
from the Penguin 47 to 7. On

Peirce Science Center 

4 

enters 21st century 



by Emma Ward 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Peirce Science Center has made 
several technological upgrades as 
well as additions to its building 
this semester. 

Students returning, or arriving 
for the first time may discover 
reconstructed labs, updated soft- 
ware, new equipment, new furni- 
ture and upgraded technology 
such as the new computer labora- 
tory, a large lecture room, and 
wireless computer access. 

"The upgrade costs about 
$60,000. We had to run sources of 
electrical power, we repainted, re- 
carpeted, installed air condition- 
ing', ordered new furniture, 
checked the lighting, etc. So, 
actually, the hardware was about 
$32,000 of the $60,000 and the 
rest was just getting the rooms 
prepared," said Tom Gusler, asso- 
ciate provost for administration. 

'The source was a combination 
of ISF (Instructional Support Fee) 
money and an annual fund that 
the university has created. ISF is a 
fee that went to 10% of tuition; it 
is about 16 or 17 years old. It 
started out as a state fee. What it 
does is pay for items that are 
directly related to the instruction- 
al process. I think faculty mem- 
bers and students are appreciative 
of these improvements." 
Most labs at Clarion have adopt- 
ed a C-net environment, which is 
basically a wireless system. 

The C-net system connects the 
entire university as a whole unit. 
It's more convenient to have a 
wireless system because of easier 
transporting to and from class. By 
incorporating computers into 
classrooms, it saves us the hassle 
of having to take the entire class 
to a computer lab," said Dr. Steve 
Harris, chair of the Biology 
department, and who will also 
serve as the interim director for 
the new computer lab. 

Students who are not science 
majors may also embrace the new 



lab. 

It is a very significant new lab. 
It replaces four small labs that 
were scattered throughout Pierce. 
It provides a level of service and 
speed that is more advanced than 
what we had before," said Gusler. 
Many instructors and professors 
such as Harris, have long request- 
ed the new computer lab and rec- 
ognize how much it will benefit 
Pierce. 

"All of the science departments 
typically has a small space for 
their students. The problem was 
that these students frequently 
ended up being isolated from each 
other, for instance the Biology 
majors were unable to interact 
with the Chemistry majors. Also, 
computers break down so by cen- 
tralizing the whole facility it 
allows students to interact with 
each other. Since many instructors 
were well aware of these prob- 
lems before by wondering how 
we can better serve students? 
Either centralize the labs or incor- 
porate computers into class- 
rooms," said Harris. 

The State System of Higher 
Education announced their 
approval of a $100 technology fee 
to students, due to the need of 
future changes for all 14 campus- 
es. 

"This is a fee that was deter- 
mined and set by the Board of 
Governors in Harrisburg. I sup- 
port the decision because it allows 
us to put together even greater 
technological plans to offer 
directly to our students," said 
Gusler. "All labs are in route to be 
upgraded. Other schools in the 
state system have long charged 
the fee, while we have tried to 
avoid charging students more 
than we've had to but the state 
system says it's time. 

Gusler acknowledges all faculty 
members such as Dr. Steve 
Harris, who have contributed their 
time and effort to the new and 
improved facilities. The new 
computer lab should be available

Student Senate moves $6,456 from its supplemental fund 




by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Student Senate voted (17-0-1) 
to allocate $6,456 to themselves 
to attend a national student gov- 
ernment conference Monday 
night. 

The money will allow five 
members of the Student Senate 
executive board to attend the 
conference along with one 
Senator. 

This year Senator Paul Garris 
will be attending. 

Student governments all over 
the United States attend the 
national conference. Leadership 
skills and programming ideas 
are a few subjects learned at the 
conference. 

Clarion University Student 
Senate did attend the confer- 
ence last year. 

Obtaining the $6,456 now will 
help Senate make early hotel 
reservations and book cheaper

flights. 

Student Senate also attends a 
regional conference called the 
Board of Student Government 
Presidents (BSGP) each year. 

Student Senate Vice 
President, Jackie Collier, 
announced that Student Senate 
will be participating in a dia- 
betes walk on Sept. 29 at 12:30 
p.m. 

The walk will begin in front of 
Tippin Gymnasium. 

Collier told Senators a goal of 
$500 has been set, which will be 



donated. Each Senator is asked 
to raise twenty dollars each. 

Collier thinks is important to 
participate in activities outside 
of Senate. 

"We are 20 people that can 
make a difference," said Collier. 
Senator Renee Porter 
announced that Student 
Senators will be participating in 
a safety walk around campus, 
Sept. 26 at 8p.m. 

Student Senators and Director 
of Public Safety, Dave 
Tedjeske, will walk around 
campus pointing out safety con- 
cerns, which will then be direct- 
ed to school maintenance. 

Porter thinks the walk is a 
great idea. 

"We point out any concerns 
about safety on campus, such as 
poor lighting," said Porter. "We 
check for anything that isn't 
safe." 

The walk is open to the pub- 
lic. 



Ski club won't be skiing anytime soon 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Catt News Editor 

Student Senate voted (6-11- 
1) against allocating $1,850 
from its supplemental account 
to the ski club budget at 
Monday night's regular 
Student Senate meeting. 

The ski club missed last 
semester's deadline to turn in 
its budget request form due to 
miscommunication throughout 
the club said Doug Campbell, 
ski club vice president. 

The money requested would 
have been used for attending 
four ski trips throughout the 
semester and solely for trans- 
portation. 

Members of the ski club pay 
two dollars for transportation 
and non-members pay five. 
Everyone however, has to pay 
for their lift ticket, food, ski 



rentals and two additional 
trips out of their own pocket 
Campbell said. 

As of right now the ski club 
won't be holding ski trips due 
to insufficient funds. 

"It's a shame that Clarion 
University students as a whole

are going to miss out on such a 
great experience, "said 

Campbell. "I am not going to 
ski at all because of this." 
Student Senate President, 



Mike Phillips, supports the 
Senate's decision not to allo- 
cate the $1,850. 

"I support the Senate's deci- 
sion in regard to the ski club's 
request. It is difficult to sup- 
port and fund an organization 
that has demonstrated no com- 
munity service or fundraising 
efforts in recent years, and 
also funds ski trips for non- 
Clarion University students to 
attend using student activity 
fee dollars," said Phillips. 
"This request, if passed, would 
essentially result in the misap- 
propriation of student activity 
fee dollars." 

Campbell says the five dol- 
lars that non-Clarion 
University students pay to 
attend trips is a form of fund 
raising. 

Dr. Dana Madison is the cur- 
rent adviser for the ski club.

Card system installed in residence halls 



by Denise Carter 
. .Clarion CaU Staff Writer 

Newspaper article on card 
systems By Denise Carter 

After September 11th, people 
began to show interest in an 
increase in security at Clarion 
University and since then, the 
card system and other pro- 
grams have been implemented 
to enhance security. 

Sophomore Erin Miles who 
does not feel like the system is 
a good idea said," It was not 
like that last year. I find it eas- 
ier without using ID's." 

The card system first started 
out at Givan and Campbell on 
a 24- hour basis. The universi- 
ty decided to expand on the 
existing system because, " the 
buildings were the only ones 
used during breaks, such as 
Christmas," said the Director 
of Housing/residence life Dr. 
Barry Morris. 

Rich Sylvia feels like the 
card system is not necessary 
because," It's a hassle." He 
went on to say that," It's stu- 
pid because once one person's 
out here you can still let alot 
of people in." 

Also, parents, students, and 
public safety prompted the 
increase in security because of 
their concerns.

Dr. Morris stated," occasion- 
ally, people were found in the 
buildings who did not belong. 
We've had vandalism, and 
people pulling fire alarms who 
again, did not belong." With 
the escort policy, these people 
have to be allowed in the 
building, and then escorted to 
rooms. Therefore, it is less 
likely that strangers are found 
in the buildings." 

Many students seems to 
favor the escort policy. 
Sophomore Jennifer Wiggins 
said," I do not mind it, it 
keeps us safe." 

Sarah Roesch said, "I feel it's 
necessary because you don't 
have strange men roaming 
around. At least, if they are 
with another female, you 
know it's safe." 

For those students who dis- 
like the card system, Dr. 
Morris recommends that they 
speak to a resident or graduate 
assistant, and to the student 
housing committee. The com- 
mittee meets every 
Wednesdays at three, at the 
Gemmell Snack bar. 

He also stated that," the sys- 
tem can be modified but I per- 
sonally think it is a different 
world now since 9/11, and the 
card policy is a good idea." 
Well, security does not begin

and end once card systems are 
put in place. The Director of 
housing/residence life says," 
the new system has flexibility 
and more card systems could 
be added to elevators and 
eventually we would like to 



add it to individual rooms." 
Additionally, future plans 
might include cameras outside 
of buildings. 

In a time where no one feels 
completely safe, the idea of an 
increase in security, overall, 



does not seem like a bad idea 
to students, parents, and 
teachers. And like Dr. Morris 
states, " As long as you are 
considerate to your neighbor, 
you can come and go as you 
please."

What in the world does public safety do? 



by Ethan Pascoe 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



For many students, the phrase 
Public Safety is often associat- 
ed with little orange parking 
tickets found on the windshield 
on their illegally parked vehi- 
cle after class. 

While this is a function of the 
Public Safety Department, 
many students remain unaware 
of the many other functions 
and services Public Safety pro- 
vides. 

This year, Public Safety has 
installed five new Emergency 
Phones around campus, bring- 
ing the total to 27. These new 
phones include a new cellular 
telephone by the stadium, as 
well as one on each floor of the 
newly remodeled Carlson 
Library. 

Also new this year is a cross- 
walk with stairs leading from 
Wilkinson and Nair Halls to 
the newly paved, well-lit stu- 
dent parking lots across Main 
Street. 

Previously, students were 
faced with the obstacles of 
climbing hills and dodging 
cars to reach the poorly lit, 
gravel lots. This project was 
partially funded by revenues 



raised from parking passes and 
parking tickets. 

Yet another addition to cam- 
pus safety this year is the 
implementation of 24 hour 
lockdown in the residence 
halls. Students must now swipe 
their I.D. card at the door in 
order to gain access to the 
buildings. This is a safety mea- 
sure taken by Public Safety to 
reduce the chance of intruders 
to the residence halls. 

"Students safety is a major 
concern to us, and we hope that 
these changes will help to 
insure their security and make 
the campus a safer place to 
be," says Public Safety 
Director David Tedjeske. 

In addition to these new 
moves to increase campus 
safety, Public Safety takes on 
numerous other duties, such as 
providing an escort service for 
students walking across cam- 
pus at night, response to med- 
ical emergencies, police ser- 
vices by trained officers to all 
types of calls on campus, ser- 
vice and attention to fire safety 
equipment and issues, handling 
and disposal of hazardous 
materials, and the locking and 
unlocking of doors to buildings 
on campus, to name a few. 

"I feel a lot safer knowing 



that Public Safety is out there," 
said Ryan Lacy, a sophomore 
elementary education major. 
"It really feels like they have 
my back." 

Each Semester, Public Safety 
conducts the Rape Aggression 
Defense Systems, or RADS 
Program. This is a nationally 
certified program designed to 
educate women about rape and 
sexual assault as well as teach 
them several defense tech- 
niques to protect against an 
attack. 

The program is instructed by 
Public Safety officers and is 
available to women only. 
Anyone interested in partici- 
pating in the program can con- 
tact officer Gregg Smith or 
Sandra McCleary at Public 
Safety. 

Another program conducted 
by Public Safety is the Partners 
in Crime program between res- 
idence hall RAs and Public 
Safety officers. In this program 
the RAs often meet and keep in 
close contact with the officers. 

The two groups share ideas 
and keep each other up to 
speed on what's going on 
around campus. This program 
helps foster other residence 
hall programs with topics such 
as alcohol and safety. 




Ben Chandlee/ Clarion Call 



Orange parking tickets are what most students think of when 
they hear public safety. Public safety officers however, go 
above and beyond everyday to serve CU students. 



Also located in the Public 
Safety building is the 
Department of Environmental 
Health and Safety. This depart- 
ment works with Public Safety 
to monitor all chemicals on 
campus, ranging from cleaning 
products to chemicals in the 
science department. 
The Public Safety Department 
employs 11 police officers, 1 
security officer, 1 full-time 
safety inspector, 2 full-time 
clerical workers, 2 dispatchers, 
and around 20 students, whose 
duties range from safety posi- 
tions to clerical and fill-in dis- 
patchers. 



"This seems to be the year for 
change," says Officer Eric 
Grafton. "We're moving ahead 
and experimenting with new 
ideas for campus safety. We 
always like to hear from stu- 
dents to find out how we're 
doing and what else we can do 
to provide them with a safe 
campus experience." 

The Public Safety building is 
located on campus, next to 
Becker Hall and across from 
the tennis courts. For more

Safety or its programs, visit its

Kalie studies at Jackson Laboratory 



by Kelly Drevitch 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Kristen Kalie, a senior biotech- 
nology major, participated in the 
prestigious Jackson Laboratory 
2002 Summer Student Program in 
Bar Harbor, Maine. Kalie, as well 
as thirty-two other bright high 
school and college students from 
around the United States partici- 
pated in the program. 

"I was completely excited to be 
chosen. I could not believe I was 
given this wonderful opportuni- 
ty," said Kalie. In fact, Kalie was 
chosen from out of 300 appli- 
cants. The scientists fully 
reviewed and examined her appli- 
cation and felt Kalie's credentials 
matched their program well. 

"During the program, Kalie grew 
as a scientist. In fact, in her final 
ten weeks she qualified to admin- 
ister a "hands on" research with 
the laboratory's staff scientist's 



supervision. 

"I specifically worked with yeast 
protocol to help determines an 
unknown protein," Kalie said. In 
addition, Kalie also worked in 
molecular biology in the chem- 
istry department under supervi- 
sion. 

"I loved it, it was a great learn- 
ing experience. Not only have I 
learned new scientific techniques 
and sharpened the ones I already 
knew, but I have also gained a bet- 
ter perspective as research as a 
career," said Kalie. 

Kalie credits the Clarion Biology 
department for directing her in the 
right successful path. 

"I especially thank Dr. William 
Barnes and Dr. Doug Smith. Dr. 
Barns was my academic advisor 
and Dr. Smith was my research 
advisor. They both helped me so 
much especially with finding 
internships," said Kalie. 

Kalie, daughter of Patrick and 



Kimberlie Kalie of Erie, graduat- 
ed from Iroquois High School. 
She will graduate from Clarion 
University in May 2003. After 
graduation, Kalie aims for even 
bigger future goals. 

"I hope to attend grad school at 
John Hopkins and then pursue a 
career in the field of cell biology," 
said Kalie. 

With the addition of Kalie's par- 
ticipation, over 2000 students 
have qualified for Jackson's 
Laboratory Summer Program 
since their founding in 1929. In 
fact, two of the students even 
excelled as Nobel laureates. 
Jackson Laboratory, a non-profit, 
independent facility, leads the 
world in mammalian genetic 
research. With over 1200 employ- 
ees, Jackson Laboratory aims to 
improve human's quality life 
through their own research and by 
allowing others the opportunity to 
research.

Memory filled tears fell to the they would be late to class. 

People driving by slowed down 
to hear a few prayers and say 
own of their own. Others just 
stopped to smile. 

There was construction going 
on across the street, trucks dri- 



ground as members of the 
Clarion community bowed their 
heads in honor of the Sept. 11 
2001 terrorist attacks. 

More than 40 people wearing 
America's colors gathered in 
Gemmell Park last Wednesday ving by, and car horns in the dis- 



morning to pay tribute to the vic- 
tims of that tragic day. Some 
prayed silently, while others 
prayed aloud for strength and 
courage to go on. 

As I stood there watching 



tance. Ask those who were at the 
park that day however, and all 
will say the same thing - you 
could hear a pin drop. 

The half mast flags flapped in 
the wind while members of the 



strangers holding hands and sad- Clarion community placed their 



ness spread across faces, it 
seemed the world stopped turn- 
ing. Students on their way to 
class stopped to remember that 
day, not worrying whether or not 



hands over their hearts and recit- 
ed The Pledge of Allegiance 
including the phrase "Under 
God". 
After the service ended, my job 



a journalist was just begin- 
ning. With tears in my eyes, I 
walked over to a female student 
and asked why she attended the 
service. The student looked at me 
and began to cry, trying to mum- 
ble a few "good words" for the 
paper. I looked at the sadness in 
her eyes and I too, began to cry. I 
felt so connected to that girl and 
yet didn't know anything about 
her. 

"Pull yourself together," I told 
myself. "This is your job." 

I walked then, over to Hart 
Chapel only to find the atmos- 
phere was no different. Soft 
music could be heard in the back- 
ground as a media presentation 
on last year's silent walk played. 
People swallowed their tears 
and lowered their heads as that 
day replayed. 

The media presentation did 
more than just replay that 
September day however. Those 
who watched saw looks of shock 
and disbelief on the hundreds of 
people who walked through the 
streets crying and holding hands. 

But clearly, the people walking 
were far from ordinary. 

They were people of all differ- 
ent races and religions, beliefs 
and backgrounds and from all 
walks of life. But as the presenta- 
tion depicted, those people were 
exactly the same that day. 

They were all Americans.

Don't get me wrong, I loved 
being a student. Like a spoiled 
child, I just did not realize at the 
time how good the whole Clarion 
experience actually was. 

My fondest years to date were 
spent at Clarion University. I met 
the greatest friends of my life; I 
was inspired by the most insight- 
ful of instructors (Dr. Arthur 
Barlow and Dr. Kevin Stemmler, 
I must mention you by name); 
and I learned the kind of lessons 
that only life and a great institu- 
tion like Clarion University can 
teach. 

On Sept. 11, I remember our 
nations heroes. I remember how 
lucky I am to be surrounded by 
my friends and family (in my 
opinion, the greatest people on 
earth). And I will remember 
Clarion University. 

Clarion has given me so much 
more than I could ever contribute 
to it. 

At the risk of sounding very 
preachy, don't wish your days at 
Clarion away. They will fly by 
soon enough. Don't focus on the 
negative.

Letter to the Editor 



"I did not attend classes on Sept. 11..." 



Dear Editor, 

The date was Sept. 11, 2001. 
Our mighty nations heart was 
ripped out by an unforgettable 
attack which touched all 
Americans lives in one way or 
another. 

As the days passed after this 
undreamable event a patriotic 
enthusiasm filled many 
Americans. Flags were hung, pins 
were worn, and the slogan "I 
Love NY" was once again 
launched with a deeper meaning 
to it. 



For a while it seemed the entire 
nation was in mourning, then we 
were told to spend money shop- 
ping or go see a baseball game. 
We were instructed by our leader 
to live as if nothing was out of the 
ordinary, after all we are 
Americans. So, we being 
Americans did just that. 

We kept going, we spent money 
and went to baseball games. 

The date when I am writing this 
is Sept. 11, 2002 exactly one year 
from when Americans woke up in 
their cozy safe beds to a living 



nightmare on Earth. As this day 
was approaching us here a Clarion 
University, I was surprised to find 
only one out of my six professors 
were changing our class topics for 
this day, and all classes were still 
in session. 

I was outraged when one pro- 
fessor of mine told us she thought 
about canceling class, but then 
after talking to co-workers decid- 
ed it best to keep going. We as 
Americans must keep going to 
baseball games. 
I did not attend classes on Sept.

1 1 unless an assignment was due. 
I wrote each professor explaining 
my beliefs as to why I would not 
be in class. 

My decision to not attend class- 
es was not based upon me being a 
"lazy college student" who was 
looking for a reason to skip class- 
es. I felt the day should consist of 
reflection and appreciation for 
life. 

When I heard of other colleges 
that changed their agenda for this 
one day, I was saddened that here 
at Clarion, although given red, 
white and blue ribbons, we were 
to act as if today we just any other 
Wednesday. 

I'm not saying that everyday we 
should dwell upon what happened 
a year ago today, we do not need 
to keep making progress forward, 
but on the anniversary of this hor- 
rific event I feel we as an educat- 
ed environment should talk about 
how we are feeling one year later. 

Our generation has been taught 
to not talk about our problems, 
but keep them locked inside. We 
have been told all our lives to 
keep moving on. As I look around 
to my peers I see an ocean of 
friends who are drowning from 
depression, anxiety, fear, sadness, 
and a slue of emotions that lead 
them to believe that by taking pre- 
scription medications, like Zoloft, 



these feelings will vanish. 

Instead of taking these "happy" 
drugs, maybe if the children of the 
1980s had been taught it is all 
right to talk about emotions, and 
that crying can be therapeutic to 
reach happiness, on a day like 
September 11, we would all come 
together and mourn. 

We as a nation, and a university 
need to realize the brutal truth that 
we live in a society where every- 
thing is not a "strawberry fields" 
forever, even more importantly 
we need not fear expressing emo- 
tions openly. 

We need to recognize the fact 
that something horrible did hap- 
pen instead of sweeping it under 
the carpet. 

I feel we as a university sitting 
in class, not even talking about 
the events that happened a year 
ago is totally disrespectful to the 
people who died, the families and 
friends who mourn, the brave 
heroes and the heroines that 
risked their lives to save others, 
and Americans in general. 

I hope one day we can all find 
our own peace in reality without 
being afraid. 

Thank you, not forgetting those 
who still live on.

Memory filled tears fell to the 
ground as members of the 
Clarion community bowed their 
heads in honor of the Sept. 11 
2001 terrorist attacks 

More than 40 people wearing 
America's colors gathered in 
Gemmell Park last Wednesday 
morning to pay tribute to the vic- 
tims of that tragic day. Some 
prayed silently, while others 
prayed aloud for strength and 
courage to go on 

As I stood there watching 
strangers holding hands and sad- 
ness spread across faces, it 
seemed the world stopped turn- 
ing Students on their way to 
class stopped to remember that 
day. not worrying whether or not 



they would be late to class 
People driving by slowed down 
to hear a few prayers and say, 
own o\ their own Others just 
stopped to smile 

There was construction going 
on across the street, trucks dri- 
ving by. and car horns in the dis- 
tance. Ask those who were at the 
park that day however, and all 
will say the same thing - you 
could hear a pin drop. 

The half mast flags flapped in 
the wind while members of the 
Clarion community placed their 
hands over their hearts and recit- 
ed The Pledge of Allegiance 
including the phrase "Under 
God". 
After the service ended, my job

phere was no different. Soft 
music could be heard in the back- 
ground as a media presentation 
on last year's silent walk played 
People swallowed their tears 
and lowered their heads as that 
day replayed. 

The media presentation did 
more than just replay that 
September day however. Those 
who watched saw looks of shock 
and disbelief on the hundreds of 
people who walked through the 
streets crying and holding hands. 

But clearly, the people walking 
were far from ordinary. 

They were people of all differ- 
ent races and religions, beliefs 
and backgrounds and from all 
walks of life. But as the presenta- 
tion depicted, those people were 
exactly the same that day. 

Thev were all Americans.

Don't get me wrong, I loved 
being a student. Like a spoiled 
child, I just did not realize at the 
time how good the whole Clarion 
experience actually was. 

My fondest years to date were 
spent at Clarion University. I met 
the greatest friends of my life; I 
was inspired by the most insight- 
ful of instructors (Dr. Arthur 
Barlow and Dr. Kevin Stemmler, 
I must mention you by name); 
and I learned the kind of lessons 
that only life and a great institu- 
tion like Clarion University can 
teach 

On Sept. 11, I remember our 
nations heroes. I remember how 
lucky I am to be surrounded by 
my friends and family (in my 
opinion, the greatest people on 
earth) And I will remember 
Clarion University. 

Clarion has given me so much 
more than I could ever contribute 
to it. 

At the risk of sounding very 
preachy, don't wish your days at 
Clarion away. They will fly by 
soon enough. Don't focus on the 
negative.

Letter to the Editor 



"I did not attend classes on Sept. 11..." 



Dear Editor. 

The date was S«pt. 11. 2001. 
Our might) nations heart was 
ripped out by an unforgettable 
attack which touched all 
Americans lives in one vvay or 
another. 

As the days passed after this 
undreamable event a patriotic 
enthusiasm filled many 

Americans. Flags were hung, pins 
were worn, and the slogan "I 
Lose NY" was once again 
launched with a deeper meaning 
to it. 



For a while it seemed the entire 
nation was in mourning, then we 
were told to spend money shop- 
ping or go see a baseball game. 
We were instructed by our leader 
to live as if nothing was out of the 
ordinary, after all we are 
Americans. So. we being 
Americans did just that. 

We kept going, we spent money 
and went to baseball games. 

The date when I am writing this 
is Sept. 11, 2002 exactly one year 
from when Americans woke up in 
their cozy safe beds to a living 



nightmare on Earth As this day 
was approaching us here a Clarion 
University. 1 was surprised to find 
onk one out of my six professors 
were changing our class topics tor 
this day. and all classes were still 
in session. 

I was outraged when one pro- 
fessor of mine told us she thought 
about canceling class, but then 
after talking to co-workers decid- 
ed it best to keep going. We as 
Americans must keep going to 
baseball games. 
I did not attend classes on Sept.

II unless an assignment was due 
I wrote each professor explaining 
my beliefs as to why I would not 
be in class 

My decision to not attend class- 
es was not based upon me being a 
"la/.y college student" who was 
looking for a reason to skip class 
es. I felt the day should consist of 
reflection and appreciation for 
life. 

When I heard of other colleges 
that changed their agenda tor this 
one day, I was saddened that here 
at Clarion, although given red, 
white and blue ribbons, we were 
to act as if today we just any other 
Wednesday. 

I'm not saying that everyday we 
should dwell upon what happened 
a year ago today, we do not need 
to keep making progress forward, 
but on the anniversary of this hor- 
rific event I feel we as an educat- 
ed environment should talk about 
how we are feeling one year later 

Our generation has been taught 
to not talk about our problems, 
but keep them locked inside. We 
have been told all our lives to 
keep moving on. As I look around 
to my peers i see an ocean of 
friends who are drowning from 
depression, anxiety, tear, sadness, 
and a slue of emotions that iead 
them to believe that by taking pre- 
scription medications, like Zoloft. 



these feelings will vanish 

Instead of taking these 'happy" 
drugs, maybe it the children of the 
1980s had been taught it is all 
right to talk about emotions, and 
that crying can be therapeutic to 
reach happiness, on a day like 
September 11. we would all come 
together and mourn. 

We as a nation, and a university 
need to realize the brutal truth that 
we live in a society where every- 
thing is not a "strawberry fields'' 
forever, even more importantly 
we need not fear expressing emo- 
tions openly. 

We need to recognize the fact 
that something horrible did hap- 
pen instead of sweeping it under 
the carpet. 

I feel we as a university sitting 
in class, not even talking about 
the events that happened a year 
ago is totally disrespectful to the 
people who died, the families and 
friends who mourn, the brave 
heroes and the heroines that 
risked their lives to save others, 
and Americans in general. 

I hope one day we can all find 
our own peace in reality without 
being afraid. 

Thank you, not forgetting those 
who still live on

"Journey to a Hate-Free Millenium" touches students 



by Beth LeVier-Pentz 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Brent Scarpo, a former 
Pennsylvania native, came to 
Clarion University on 
September 1 1 to present 
"Journey to a Hate-Free 
Millennium" sponsored by the 
Interfaternity Council, the 
Panhellenic Council, and the 
University Activities Board. 
Brent is a producer in 
Hollywood for such films as 
Air Force One, That Thing You 
Do, and The Shawshank 
Redemption 

He has been on tour for the 
past three years getting his 
message out about hate. 
Scarpo is so devoted to his 
cause that he has only missed 
two presentations. One was on 
September 11, 2001 because 
he overslept and missed his 
plane that was flying from 
Palm Springs to New York. 
And although his favorite 



uncle died in a motorcycle 
accident just six hours before 
he stood on the stage in our 
auditorium, it didn't stop him 
from presenting. 

Brent Scarpo stressed to the 
audience that hate crimes have 
been happening in our country 
even before September 1 1 — 
that Americans have been ter- 
rorizing fellow Americans for 
years. And because of 
September 11, if only for a 
brief period of time, we did 
have a hate free country 
because the tragedy we 
encountered pulled our nation 
together. He told us ignorance 
leads to fear, fear leads to 
anger, anger leads to hate, and 
hate leads to suffering. We can 
either be part of the solution 
or part of the problem. 

The audience then viewed 
the video on hate. The video 
consisted of three examples of 
hate crimes: James Byrd Jr., 
an African American man who 



was dragged behind a pickup 
truck for three miles until his 
decapitated body was left in 
front of a black church; 
Matthew Shepard, a gay man 
who was beaten to death in 
Laramie, Wyoming; and 
footage of the Columbine 
High School shootings. 

At the end of the video 
Brent Scarpo opened the floor 
for any questions or com- 
ments. A female student 
named Jackie gave a challenge 
to the audience to stand up 
with her for peace. Not even 
one person remained seated. 

Scarpo had told the audi- 
ence a story about his college 
graduation gift from his moth- 
er. His mother gave him a gift 
box with a silver thimble 
inside. She explained to him 
that when he leaves home to 
start his career, many people 
are going to let him down. 
When he is angry or 
depressed, she told him to take 



out his thimble and to turn it 
over and fill it up with love, 
care, and respect for himself. 

As he would talk about the 
hate crimes in his video he 
would say, "All these people 
really needed was thimbles of 



their own." 

At the end of the evening 
Brent Scarpo presented every- 
one in the audience with a 
thimble of their own to fill 
with love, care, and respect 
for themselves. 




Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call 

Clarion University students in the audience of Brent Scarpo 's 
presentation "Journey to a Hate-Free Millenium" learn about 
how dangerous hate can be and how important it is for every- 
one to do their best to get along with each other. 



"Miz Wizard" shows women's contributions to science 



by Amanda Cackowski 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



On Monday, September 16, a 
respectable sized crowd filed into Hart 
Chapel to witness the presentation "Miz 
Wizard's Science Secrets" written and per- 
formed by Dr. Jane Curry. 

Curry hails from Minneapolis and is 
employed as an author, storyteller, and 
performer. She received her Bachelor of 
Arts degree from Hanover College and 
then her Master of Arts and Ph.D. from the 
University of Michigan. In addition to 
"Miz Wizard's Science Secrets," Curry has 
also written and performs in other solo 
shows such as: "Samantha 'Rastles' the 
Woman Question," "Just Say Know: 
Educating Females for the 21st Century," 
and "Nice Girls Don't Sweat." 

Currently, Curry performs nationally 
and internationally for institutions, groups, 
fundraisers, conferences, companies and 
special events. 



Clarion University was lucky enough to 
bring this dynamic speaker to campus 
thanks impart to the following organiza- 
tions: Together Equitably Advocating for 
Mathematics and Science (TEAMS), CU 
Performance Outcome Plan, Collaborative 
for Excellence in Teacher Preparation in 
PA, Presidential Commission on the status 
of Women, and the Women's Studies 
Program. 

The performance begins with Jane 
Curry portraying scientist "Barbara 
Knight." A song plays telling the story of a 
female who wants to become an engineer, 
but faces hardships from her entire envi- 
ronment, including her mother, husband, 
children, and employer. This song sets the 
basic premise of which Curry will explore. 

Knight then adopts the persona of "Miz 
Wizard," the host of a new science show 
on a cable access channel. She begins by 
pitching her show ideas to her producer, 
Chris. She shows the set and explains pos- 



sible experiments. 

Upon speaking of possible show topics, 
Miz Wizard veers off into a tangent 
describing the myths about women and 
science in the ancient times. Curry's sar- 
castic and ironic approach to the myths 
results in much laughter from the crowd. 
She also uses slides and video as audiovi- 
sual to enhance her presentation. 

Curry's character Barbara Knight also 
recounts her early life as a scientist and 
reveals the obstacles that she faced. Knight 
then transitions into a commentary on 
women of all sciences including invention, 
biology, astronomy, space aeronautics, 
chemistry, and others. Knight explained 
the triumphs, discoveries and obstacles 
involved with the lives of these women. 

The program hit a serious point when 
Knight explains how most female scien- 
tists have encountered the following barri- 
ers: no admittance to colleges or universi- 
ties, poor or no press coverage, poor labo- 



ratory conditions, and no admittance to 
clubs, societies, or academic meetings. 
Women were also excluded from scientific 
studies, even those regarding breast can- 
cer. 

Knight concludes her presentation by 
offering a few final thoughts and a video 
montage of female scientists from the past 
and present. 

Overall, Curry offered a different spin 
on the typical college lecture. She wrote 
the lecture in the form of a play including 
various audiovisuals and audience partici- 
pation, thus enhancing audience appeal. 

Knight mentions a quote by Maya 
Angelou in her conclusion of the show, 
"We have most of our 'she-roes,' we just 
don't know their names." 

But thanks to Jane Curry's educational 
and fun presentation, those present in Hart 
Chapel were fortunate to learn some of 
those "she-roes" names from the world of 
science.

America's new favorite 
movie hero: Vin Diesel. 

Vin Diesel plays Xander 
Cage, or "X" as his friends 
call him. He loves risking his 
life to see what kind of crazy, 
death defying stunts he can 
live through. Not being a big 
fan or supporter of the US 
government regulations, Cage 
likes to incorporate his wild 
stunts with a message to the 
conservative senators and 
congressmen's new ideas for 
regulations on video games, 
music, and television shows. 
He tapes his new stunt tricks 
with a message for them and 
plays them on the Internet for 
all of his fans (or enemies) to 
view. 

Meanwhile, the United 
States NSA has been losing 
their top agents one after in a 
fight against terrorist group 
called 'Anarchy 99' while 
trying to find out what kind 
of dangerous scheme the ter- 
rorist group is up to. 

With little hope left, 
national security agent 
Augustus Gibbons, played by 
Samuel L. Jackson, decides 
that no more of their "mice 
should be sent into the snake 



pit" instead a "snake should 
be sent into the snake pit" 
with better odds of surviving. 
Someone tough and fearless 
yet expendable. Xander Cage 
catches Gibbons' eye as a 
great candidate for the job. 

Faced with a lose-lose 
decision of spending many 
years in a four-by-six feet 
cell or helping out his coun- 
try that he's always disagreed 
with, Cage makes the only 
choice he has if he still wants 
to live a life. 

After passing a series of 
tests that Gibbons puts him 
through. Cage is sent straight 
into the snake pit -- the city 
of Prague in the Czech 
Republic where Anarchy 99 
operates. 

The leader of Anarchy 99, 
Yorgi played by Marton 
Csokas, totally falls for Cage, 
since he is a rebel just like 
the terrorist group. 

But what's an action 
movie or Bond-type movie 
without some T&A? That is, 
of course, where Cage's love 
interest, Yelena played by the 
exotic Asia Argento comes in. 
And in typical fashion, 
Yelena is one of the group 



members of Anarchy 99. Still, 
something about her brings 
out the best in him and makes 
him want to save the world 
after all. 

All Cage has to do is find 
out what the terrorist group is 
up to. The more information 
he brings to the NSA, howev- 
er, the more they want him to 
stay and find out more. He is 
better at this job than they 
thought. Just as Cage gets 
close to all the answers he is 
pulled off the mission. 
However, he cannot leave. He 
is in too deep now. Plus, what 
do most people do when they 
are told to stay away from 
something 

XXX is rated PG-I3 for 
violence, non-stop action 
sequences, sensuality, drug 
content, and laneuasje. 

The non-stop action 
sequences are definitely 
worth your time and money to 
go and see this amazing stunt 
show of a movie -- not to 
mention Vin Diesels awesome 
body and handsome face. 

The plot of this film leaves 
something to be desired, so I 
rated the movie four out of 
five stars.

RAZ offers new entertainment to the Clarion area 



by Sasha Connors 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



Located at 509 Main Street just around the corner from 
Studio 13 and right next to Clarion Kids is a store offering 
new and exciting opportunities to the Clarion community. 

This unique store is called RAZ, and the grand opening 
was August 27, 2002. The store is owned and operated by 
Leo and Hillary Lefay two new members of the Clarion 
community. They offer a variety of different activities to 
distract us from the mundane occurrences of daily life. 

RAZ carries everything from individual stained glass 
pieces to Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Upon entering the store there is 
an array of stained glass necklaces, earring, mirrors, butter- 
flies, dragonflies, and flower pots. 

"I'll be making a variety of seasonal, gift items like the 
leaves for ALF and Christmas ornaments," says storeown- 
er Hillary Lefay. 

In preparation for the Autumn Leaf Festival Hillary has 
made stained glass leaves in all the colors of a beautiful 
Clarion fall. Customized pieces are also available. 

Movie rentals are also available. They carry a variety of 



different videos, and are currently ordering more. The cost 
is $2. 

If you are strolling down Main Street and have the crav- 
ing for a snack they also sell candy and beverages. 

Hillary offers mosaic workshops once a month. This 
month's featured Photo Mosaic workshop is on September 
29, 2002 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Participants will learn 
the hands-on techniques involved in making a mosaic and 
can also choose the size of their picture frame. The cost is 
$30, which includes instruction and all materials. 
Individuals interested in creating their own personal 
stained glass pieces can purchase stained glass art supplies. 

For those interested in the games Magic, Yu-Gi Oh, or 
Heroclix, RAZ has a game room located in the back of the 
store. 

"There are games played at 2:30 daily, and weekly 
Magic tournaments. I am trying to create a place where the 
gaming community can come together and share their 
interests," says Leo, storeowner of RAZ. 

The games are also available to purchase. 

RAZ also carries a number of comic books. They not 
only have the traditional Superman and Spider-Man comics 



but older themed comics for those more familiar with the 
craft of collecting. 

Currently, a student artist from Clarion University is dis- 
playing her work at RAZ. Her pieces include paintings, 
prints, ceramic sculpture, and photography with prices 
ranging from $25 to $100. 

Hillary and Leo are seeking more visual artists interest- 
ed in displaying their work. They are mainly interested in 
pieces using the mediums of photography, jewelry, paint- 
ings, prints, ceramics, and metal work. Interested artists 
can receive more information by calling 223-4729, or by 
stopping in during their hours of operation. All artists 
should bring the actual pieces if possible, or a portfolio. 

RAZ is open Tuesdays through Thursday from 1 1 :00 am 
to 7:00 pm; Fridays 11:00 am to 8:00 pm; and Saturday 
11 :00 am to 7:00 pm. 

On their business card the logo reads, "RAZ: Everything 
We Like." 

With the variety of interests Hillary and Leo have com- 
bined there is definitely something for everyone. The 
Clarion Community should welcome this new and exciting 
establishment.

Book Review 



Intensity gives readers chills 

by Amanda Brukner 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Bestseller author Dean Koontz's amazing writing is known to keep a 
reader wanting more and more. His chilling thriller novel, Intensity, is no 
exception. 

Edgier Vess is a psychotic killer who believes his senses are so keen that 
he is almost more than human. 

A young woman named Chyna Shepard never expects the horror in store 
for her while she is visiting her best friend, Sarah Templeton, and Sarah's 
parents out of state. Chyna finds herself caught in the wrath of Vess when 
the Templeton family is brutally murdered by Vess. 

Chyna needs to save herself if no one else. Thinking fleeing will be easy 
by hiding away in the killer's motor home, which stores a few of his dead 
victims, brings more terror to her than ever imagined. 

When Vess discovers Chyna, he quickly makes her his next intended vie 
tim. He holds her until he is ready for his final production, involving a 
young girl, Ariel, who he has held kidnapped for some time in his wood 
land home. 

His plans for Chyna and Ariel are startling and sinister. Keeping with the 
intensity of this book are guard dogs, which Vess has trained to kill on site, 
making Chyna's escape from her insane kidnapper's wrath more difficult. 

Chyna Shepard 's only goal is to reach safety for herself and young Ariel, 
but with Vess's cunning mind and keen senses, her and her young friend's 
fate may already be sealed. 

Chyna's attempt to free herself and Ariel is purely edge of your seat enter- 
tainment. 

This book brings new meaning the word "thriller" and will keep you 
from putting it down for even a second, thinking that you may be missing 
out on something. 



UAB and hosted by Good Guy 
Productions. In particular, the 
ladies of Delta Zeta ruled the 
audience with participants 
present. 

The "Battle of the Sexes" 
game show had many humor- 
ous and exciting moments, 
which ended a normally lack- 
luster Tuesday with a fun 
time. 

Upon entering, each stu- 
dent received a ticket, blue for 
men and red for women, which 
held their lottery participation 
number. The host then drew 
five players for each the men 
and women teams. The teams 
then resided to the appropriate 
side of the stage and wore the 
appointed color of vest, red 
for women and blue for men. 

Each game consisted of two 
rounds, the first with five 
questions and each asked for 
eight responses. Correct 
responses each counted for 
five points and only given five 
seconds to complete. In the 
second round, the team cap- 
tain member was asked a 
question of eight responses 
and given sixty seconds to 
answer, and team help was 
allowed. 

The audience also partici- 
pated throughout the game by 
yelling out answers, applaud- 
ing, cheering, and booing. 
Loud, energetic music, sounds 
like the Mission Impossible 
theme, also played in between 
questions and the receipt of 



points to a team. 

The questions asked ranged 
from intellectual to sexual to 
funny. What do Trojan, latex, 
spermicide, and texture all 
have in common? They were 
all among the correct answers 
for things associated with con- 
doms. Also, the audience 
applauded the girl who gave 
the response of flavors 
because, when asked, she said 
they taste like strawberry. 

Benjamin Franklin, Eli 
Whitney, Henry Ford, and 
Thomas Edison were some of 
the correct famous scientists 
or inventors named, as well as 
Bill Gates. World-renowned 
crashes or explosions in histo- 
ry on the list included the 
Challenger and the Titanic. 

Campus knowledge played 
a role in answering the ques- 
tions, too. Test your knowl- 
edge. What are eight foods 
found in college dining halls? 
Some foods named were 
pizza, french fries, grilled 
cheese, and cereal. What are 
eight name brands worn by 
college men? Brands varied 
from Abercrombie & Fitch to 
Fubu to Polo. What are the 
eight most popular stores 
where college women shop? 
Stores included Victoria's 
Secret, Old Navy, and Macy's. 
Although more women 
were in attendance, according 
to the game, the men rule the 
sexes here on Clarion campus. 
They won two games, out of 



the three played. Ironically 
before the third game, "He 
looks like an intellect," the 
host commented as a new rep- 
resentative of the men's team 
walked up and then tripped on 
the steps. 

At the end, 17 winners 
received their awesome prize: 
a vacation getaway to the 
Bahamas. 

The male winners were Ian 
Hurbanek, Joe Miller, Marlon 
Dwight, Matthew Gibson, 
Jeremy- Dulby, Ray Kanaver, 
Josh Pezzuto, Chad Reed, 
Jared Brown, and Richard 
Turner. 

The female winners were 
Beth Smith, Andrea Hoover, 
Gaby Randall, Lacey 
Dellamedaglia, and Nancy 
Nelson. 

At the end, two more win- 
ners, a male and a female, 
were randomally selected to 
go on a vacation getaway to 
the Bahamas. Those two very 
lucky winners (lucky because 
they did not even have to play 
the game to win) were Susan 
West and Brian Schulze. 

Of course, like all things in 
life that sound too good to be 
true and ended up not being 
so, the case is no different 
with the "Battle of the Sexes" 
game show. The vacation get- 
away to the Bahamas isn't 
exactly free. If each one of 
the winners wants to go, they 
have to pay $200 plus the cost 
of food.

In War On Tobacco, money goes up in smoke 



by Dave Barry 
Syndicated Writer 



In these troubled times, it's nice to know that there is 
one thing that can always bring a smile to our faces, and 
maybe even cause us to laugh so hard that we cry. 

I am referring, of course, to the War On Tobacco. Rarely 
in the annals of government - and I do not mean to suggest 
anything juvenile by the phrase "annals of government" - 
will you find a program so consistently hilarious as the 
campaign against the Evil Weed. 

Before we get to the latest wacky hijinks, let's review 
how the War On Tobacco works. The underlying principle, 
of course, is: Tobacco Is Bad. It kills many people, and it 
causes many others to smell like ashtrays in a poorly jani- 
tored bus station. 

So a while ago, politicians from a bunch of states were 
scratching their heads, trying to figure out what to do about 
the tobacco problem. One option, of course, was to say: 
"Hey, if people want to be stupid, it's none of our busi- 
ness." But of course that was out of the question. 
Politicians believe EVERYTHING is their business, which 
is why ~ to pick one of many examples ~ most states have 
elaborate regulations governing who may, and who may 
not, give manicures. 

Another option was to simply make selling cigarettes 
illegal, just like other evil activities, such as selling heroin, 
or giving unlicensed manicures, or operating lotteries 
(except, of course, for lotteries operated by states). But the 



Music Review 



politicians immediately saw a major flaw with this 
approach: It did not provide any way for money to be fun- 
neled to politicians. 

And so they went with option three, which was to file 
lawsuits against the tobacco companies. The underlying 
moral principle of these lawsuits was: "You are knowingly 
selling a product that kills tens of thousands of our citizens 
each year. We want a piece of that action!" 

The anti-tobacco lawsuits resulted in a humongous jack- 
pot settlement under which the tobacco industry is paying 
hundreds of billions of dollars to 46 states (and of course 
their lawyers). The tobacco companies are raising this 
money by mowing lawns. 

Ha ha! Seriously, they are raising the money by selling 
cigarettes as fast as they can. So EVERYBODY wins in the 
War On Tobacco: 

• The smokers get to keep smoking tobacco. 

• The tobacco companies get to keep selling tobacco. 

• The politicians (and of course their lawyers) get a big old 
ton of money, as physical proof of how much they are 
opposed to tobacco. 

Originally, the states claimed that they would use the 
tobacco-lawsuit money to... well, to do something about 
tobacco. But that of course makes no economic sense: To 
actually stop smokers from smoking would be to kill the 
goose that is coughing up the golden loogies. 

So the states, according to the Government Accounting 
Office, are using less than a tenth of the tobacco-settlement 
money on anti-smoking programs. Meanwhile, they are 



spending bales of it on all kinds of unrelated projects, such 
as highways, bridges and museums. Officials of Niagara 
County, New York, spent $700,000 of their anti-tobacco 
money to buy a sprinkler system for a golf course. Maybe 
they were thinking that a golfer, while teeing off, would get 
sprayed in the eyes, causing him to hit the ball into a four- 
some of tobacco executives. Take that, merchants of death! 
But as comical as all this is, it is not the zaniest devel- 
opment in the War On Tobacco. For that, we must look to 
North Carolina. According to an article by Liz Chandler in 
the Charlotte Observer, North Carolina officials have so far 
given $41 million of their tobacco settlement to -- 1 swear 
I am not making this up ~ tobacco growers. Yes! The state 
gave this money ~ which, you may recall, was taken from 
tobacco companies to punish them for selling tobacco, 
which is evil ~ to these growers so they can buy machin- 
ery that will make them more competitive producers of . . . 
tobacco! This is like using War On Terrorism funds to buy 
flying lessons for al Qaeda. 

So that's your update on the Wacky, Wonderful War On 
Tobacco. It is now essentially a partnership between politi- 
cians and tobacco companies to make money by selling 
cigarettes. It's only a matter of time before some shrewd 
state cuts out the middleman and starts funding the War On 
Tobacco by making cigarettes and selling them directly to 
the public ("Smoke New Jerseys - They Taste As Great As 
Their Name!"). 

No, wait, that would be completely insane. 

I give them two years.

"Nellyville" is almost a car- 
bon copy of his first album, even 
down to the boring skits featuring 
Cedric the Entertainer & MTV's 
La La. After his successful first 
album and the release of some 
very good radio singles, Nelly 
can be positive that his albums 
will sell. 

However, just because he has 
a few good songs released to 
radio, all listeners may not find 
this album such a good invest- 
ment because all they will like are 
the songs that are on the radio. 

This album is centered on the 
theme of "Nellyville," where 
Nelly and his friends live in what 
seems like a music video where 
Nelly can even control the weath- 
er with his lyrics. This centered 
theme is where Nelly goes wrong. 
Any artist can find it nearly 
impossible to tie an album togeth- 
er with a theme, and it proved dif- 
ficult for Nelly to do as well. 

The first single off the album, 
"Hot In Herre," was the song of 
the summer. Everyone knows that 
if it gets hot somewhere, to take 
off all his or her clothes. If they 
don't, they have been living 
under a rock. The "hot" track, 
produced by the amazing and 
popular Neptunes, is a great party 



song that held on to the top spot 
on the charts all summer. "Hot In 
Herre" shows what Nelly does 
best: party. 

The next single released to 
radio is "Dilemma." This song 
features a softer Nelly with addi- 
tional vocals from Destiny's 
Child member Kelly Rowland. 
His rapping style on this track 
and many others on the album is a 
new rapping style that mixes 
singing and rapping. 

'N Sync's Justin Timberlake 
contributes on the song "Work It" 
which would be a promising sin- 
gle to release next. Justin's vocals 
along with Nelly's raps are remi- 
niscent of 'N Sync's "Girlfriend," 
and would guarantee a lot of air- 
play because of Timberlake's 
name and the teenage fans that 
would go along with it. 

The CD includes the remix of 
Beanie Sigel's "Roc The Mic" on 
which Nelly appears. It also 
includes "#1," which was fea- 
tured on the "Training Day" 
soundtrack. These two songs 
along with the incredibly long 
and boring skits such as "In The 
Store" and "5000" make it seem 
as though Nelly needed more 
songs to fill up his album. 

Nelly shows his winning for- 



mula in the song "CG 2" which 
revisits his first smash hit 
"Country Grammar." This song 
could also be a hit because it 
sounds so similar if it were to be 
released. The other songs on the 
album however seem to be easily 
skipped over to fill the need to get 
to his more popular party style. 

Nelly is a good example of the 
debate of what the definition of 
real hip-hop is. With hip-hop tak- 
ing over mainstream top 40, 
many artists find the need to 
defend themselves and the music 
they create, all the while enjoying 
the record sales and the money 
that goes along with it. 

Nelly states in "#1," 'i'm tired 
of people judging what's real hip- 
hop," and continues on to say that 
he is real hip-hop and that his 
million dollar record sales prove 
it. 

Although "Nellyville" is simi- 
lar to his first album, it has the 
beats that sound great in the car 
even when you skip over the 
majority of the tracks to get to the 
ones that are on the radio. 

If you are looking for a solid 
rap CD, look elsewhere. But if 
you want a good time and you 
like his singles as well as his first 
album, "Nellyville" should work.

Correction 

TUCt*mC$K wishes to apolgize to Faculty 
Senate for a headline which was misleading 
in the Sept. 12 issue of TLC&rmfrJt. The 
headline read, "Faculty Senate seeks new 
president." Faculty Senate is not seeking a 
new president. The group has a president, 
Dr. Susan Hilton. 

The presdential search committee also is not 
a function of Faculty Senate. 



Th C&rto* Caff d\so wishes to apologize to 
Student Senate for two misspellings in the 
Sept. 12 issue of TUCArmC**. Melissa Gring 
was appointed the new graduate adviser to 
Student Senate, not Melissa Green. A 
spelling of a senator's name also was mis- 
spelled. The proper spelling is Terrilyn 
Cheatham, not Terrilyn Cheatam. 



Tie tf&r/b*tfa/f wishes to apologize for any 

inconvenience any of these issues may have 
caused.

Horoscopes 

Today's Birthday (Sept. 19). Material things are love- 
ly, of course, but this year they're just not enough. A 
spiritual partner is what you desire, what you need and 
what you deserve. Choose the one who steers you 
toward the light. 

To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 
is the easiest day, the most challenging. 

Aries (March 21 -April 19) - Today is a 5 - Slow 
down. Take it easy. Ponder what you've recently 
learned. The part that still doesn't make sense will be 
clear soon enough. 

Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 9 - You'll 
get your meaning across by where you are and what 
you're doing. You're not much for hype and pretenses. 
What they see with you is exactly what they get. 

Gemini (May 21 -June 21) - Today is a 6 - Oops! 
Looks like another change is required. Creativity is 
more important than your careful plans, anyway. Let 
something you couldn't have predicted emerge from 
the chaos. 

Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 9 - 
Changes under way now are for the best. Follow your 
intuition and abandon old fears. Love leads the way. 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 6 - This isn't 
a good day to take risks. Enough unexpected stuff will 
happen on its own. You'll be much appreciated if you 
provide stability. 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7 - There 
will be a few problems and some confusion. Others 
will seek your advice. Think about what might go 
wrong so that you'll be ready. 

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 6 - Do you 
feel as if a wet blanket has been dropped on your 
enthusiasm? It's only for a couple of days. It's because 
it's time to do a job you've been avoiding. Chin up. 

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is an 8 - A 
person who's been feeling shaky would really love the 
comfort you provide. Don't worry about reimburse- 
ment. You'll be rewarded if you give freely. 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 5 - 
Are you stirring things up? Not willing to go along with 
the same old routine? Help come up with a plan that'll 
work better. 

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is an 8 - 
No need to spend hard-earned money on love - not all 
of it, anyway. You may want to get a little treat for a 
special friend, to return a favor in a way. 

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 6 - 
Fluctuations in your finances are to be expected. 
Conserve your resources, shop sales, and promise not 
to get stuff you don't need. 

Pisces (Feb. 1 9-March 20) - Today is a 7 - 
Stick up for what you believe in, no matter what others y 
say. Besides, you might find a convert or two. You 
could instigate a skeptic's revelation.

Volleyball team continues winning streak 



by Erin Witner 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

Last Thursday the Lady Eagles 
hit the road and traveled to 
Seton Hill College for a non- 
conference match up. The ladies 
defeated Seton Hill 3-0 (31-29, 
30-21, 30-18). This brings the 
team over all record to 8-0 with 
a total of 30-0 games won. 
Leaders in the match were: 
Junior Melanie Bull 

(York/Susquehannock) with 17 
kills, and 11 digs, 

sophmore,SaraHeyl 
(Midlothian,VA/Clover Hill) 
with 11 kills, and 12 digs. 
Sophmore Colleen Sherk ( 
Wilmington,DE/Concord) has 9 
kills, and 3 blocks. 

The team traveled to 
California University of PA on 
Tuesday, September 7th for their 
first Conference match up. The 
Lady Eagles prepared them- 
selves for this match up by 
reviewing tapes of CAL and 
comparing notes of the matches. 
They found out what players 
they needed to shutdown and 



what type of offense and defense 
the ladies had to run. Clarion 
took home a victory on Tuesday, 
winning the set 3-0 (30-23, 30- 
15, 30-26). 

Leaders for the Eagles were: 
Melanie Bull with 16 kills, and 8 
digs, Jackie Hill (Seven 
Valley/Susquehannock) with 31 
assists, 3 service aces, also 
Colleen Sherk added 19 digs and 
6 blocks to her stats. Laurie 
Hepler was also strong defen- 
sively. Head Coach Fluharty 
commented that she saw quite a 
few players stepping up their 
game and playing at a higher 
level. The team shut down two 
of California's essential offen- 
sive players and took advantage 
of weak passers with serving. 

"The key to winning this game 
was the ladies were motivated 
and ready for the match before 
they even took a foot off of cam- 
pus," said Head Coach Tracy 
Fluharty. "The ladies knew we 
couldn't come home without a 
win," continued Fluharty. 
With that note, the Lady Eagles 
will resume conference play on

Cross Country is nationally ranked 



■ • — — 



by Erin Witner 
Clarion Call Sports Staff 

The Clarion Mens and 
Womens Cross Country teams 
opened their season on 
September 7 at Penn State 
University. This was a high- 
powered Division I meet with 
very few Division II schools 
participating. 

The Mens team has a lot of 
young talent coming into the 
season after losing six seniors to 
graduation. The men finished 
18th out of 20 teams. Junior, A.J. 
Mayernik led the team and 
junior Chris Noal rounded out 
the top five finishers for Clarion. 

This meet was very benefical 
for the team as they gained a lot 
of experience competing with 
runners at the Division I level. 

The Womens Cross Country 
team placed 7th out of 17. They 
finished ahead of five other 
PSAC teams and was the first 
Division II school to finish. 
Freshmen Anna Beck placed 
14th and Junior Jen Boerner 
placed 26th. 

The womens team is now

ranked second in the Northeast 
Region and ranked 21st nation- 
ally. This is the first time the 
team has been nationally ranked. 
"We are off to an excellent 
start and we are just continuing 
to get stronger." said Head 
Coach Pat Mooney. 



The team will travel to Indiana 
this weekend to face IUP in a 
key PSAC matchup. The IUP 
women are ranked No.l in the 
Northeast Region, therefore. 
Clarion is in contention to cap- 
ture first place in the Northeast 
Region.

With the arrival of a new 
freshman class, transfers, and 
new class status at Clarion 
University, many athletes are 
faced with a tough decision 
between their sports and class- 
es. Clarion University coaches 
and athletic staff have always 
placed academics on the top of 
the priority list. 

Clarion University prides 
itself in having the top 
scholastic athletes in the 
Pennsylvania State Athletic 
Conference. Over one hundred 
athletes maintain over a 3.2 
GPA every semester, bringing 
much recognition to the pro- 
gram. 

Despite of this amazing 
accomplishment by the 
University and athletes, not all 
participants hold such honor- 
able status. 

The most difficult academic 
year for myself, and many ath- 
letes is the freshman year. 
Whether from the pressures of 
breaking away from home or 
new responsibilities, many 
freshmen find it difficult to 
earn the grade and participate- 
in varsity sports during their 
first year. Not to say that it is 
impossible to be successful in 
both, but many struggle. 

Clarion University is unique 
in a sense that a plethora of 
academic support sessions are 
made available to every ath- 
lete. For many incoming fresh- 
men, it is a mandatory require- 
ment to put in a certain number 
of hours every week at the aca- 
demic support center or 



library. This is to ensure that 
every athlete has the opportu- 
nity and time to complete 
assignments and study for their 
classes. 

In addition to incoming 
freshmen, many teams require 
that even the upperclassmen 
attend study sessions if they 
have a GPA of 2.5 or under. 
Since the implementation of 
this resource, many students 
have greatly improved their 
GPA, but their study habits as 
well. 

Clarion University continues 
to claim successes in acade- 
mics and athletics due to these 
programs, but for some ath- 
letes, there comes a time where 
they must make a decision. 
Some students red-shirt their 
freshmen year in order to 
become acclimated to their 
academic schedules, and still 
continue to practice their sport 
of choice. 

For others, the pressures of 
school and sports becomes 
overbearing. Although many 
athletes live to participate in 
their sports, they must know 
when to draw the line in order 
that their academics do not 
suffer. 

For many this is one of the 
most difficult decisions they 
will ever have to make in their 
college careers. Most perform- 
ers that make it all the way to 
the collegiate level possess an 
immense amount of dedication 
toward their sport, not to men- 
tion passion. 

If an athlete notices that they 
are nearing the point of no 
return, the first step they need 
to take must be preventative. If 
they are not currently involved 
in an academic assisting pro- 
gram, they need to begin 
attending immediately. 

In most cases, enrolling in 
these programs produces 
immediate results. Even if an 
athlete's GPA is not considered 
poor at the moment, the best 
measure is not to drop to that 
level. 

In the long run, we are all 
hereto obtain an education and 
an eventual degree. Even the 
best athletes need to make this 
their number one priority if 
they are ever forced to choose.

Lady Eagles fall short in Michigan tournament 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

The Clarion University Womens 
Soccer team traveled to Michigan this 
past weekend to participate in the 
Ferris State Tournament. The Lady 
Eagles were looking to improve on the 
2-0 start on the season and take on 
Division II power house, Northern 
Michigan. 

Despite the teams efforts, the Lady 
Eagles fell short in both tournament 
matches suffering losses to Northern 
Michigan and host school, Ferris State. 

In the first game they faced Northern 
Michigan, who is ranked No. 2 nation- 
ally in Division II. They knew they 
had to play well throughout the game 
on both sides of the ball in order to 
stay competitive with them. 

Although CU held their own and 
played hard for 90 minutes, they fell to 
Northern Michigan 0-2. CU recorded 



shots on goal and keeper Christina 
Gattens had blank saves. 

"Having heard we were playing a 
nationally ranked team, we were a little 
nervous becasue we did not know what 
to expect, but we fought hard and kept 
a closo. game with them," said junior 
defender Josephine Reino. 

The CU Soccer team surprised them- 
selves and the other team, and even 
though they walked away with a loss 
they gained respect from a powerhouse 
soccer program like Northern Michigan 
and their level of confidence went up. 
"I think we surprised them. They 
probably walked in thinking they 
would blow us out 10-0, but they did- 
n't, we held, them to only two goals," 
added Reino. 

In the second match against Ferris 
State, Clarion was right in it until the 
end. The score was tied 1-1 up until the 
last 15 minutes of the match when 
Ferris State picked up their intensity 
and caught CU off guard locking in 



their 4-1 victory. Forward Marianna 
Reino scored the lone goal for the Lady 
Eagles after she connected with a cross 
from sophmore Alisha Turner. 

Although the team did not record any 
wins on the weekend, their game 
definetly improved and they were over- 
all pleased with how they played 
together. 

"Overall I feel we held our own in 
both games and we showed teams like 
Northern Michigan we have the talent 
and strength to play at their level. We 
are ready to move forward and start 
play in the PSAC," said Turner. 

The Clarion Womens Soccer team, 
now 2-3 overall, will open their season 
at home this Saturday. They will face 
Kutztown University. 

Clarion soccer first home 
game is this Saturday @ 
11:30a.m. at Memorial 
Stadium!

Golden Eagles roll past Millersville; 24-3 



Courtsey of Sports 
Information 



Clarion freshman corner 
back Kerwin Cledanor 
returned an interception 50- 
yards for a touchdown early in 
the third quarter and helped 
lead Clarion to a 24-3 win over 
Millersville on Saturday after- 
noon at Biemesderfer Stadium. 
Clarion evened its overall 
record at 1-1, while 
Millersville dropped to 0-2. 
The Golden Eagles were off 
for 16 days after losing a close 
27-14 decision to Div. I-AA 
power Youngstown State on 
August 29th. 

"We played a very solid all- 
around game," said a pleased 
Clarion head coach Malen 
Luke following the game. "We 
looked a little rusty in the first 
quarter and that was a real 
concern coming into the game 
with so much time off. But our 
defense was great from the 
start and our offense came on 
in the second quarter and start- 
ed establishing our running 
game and that was a big key. 
We received contributions 
from all three elements today, 
offense, defense and special 
teams. This was a big win for 
us, especially on the road." 

Clarion QB Adam Almashy 
fumbled on the Eagles first 
possession and the Marauders 
Colin Tozer recovered on the 
Clarion 43. After moving to 
the Clarion 20 in 8 plays, the 
defense stood its ground and 
stopped the Marauders on 
three straight plays. 

Marauder placekicker Jamie 
Haas booted a 37-yard field 
goal and Millersville had the 
early lead 3-0 with 8:21 left in 
the first quarter. 



Clarion took the lead for 
good with only 15-seconds left 
before intermission when 
quarterback Adam Almashy 
dropped back to pass, scram- 
bled out of the pocket and 
dashed 46 yards to paydirt. He 
received a key block at the 30 
from wide receiver Ben Culver 
that sprung him down the right 
sideline. 

Early in the third quarter 
Cledanor made his game 
breaking interception return. 
On MU's fifth play of the sec- 
ond half, QB Chuck Andrew 
tried a pass down the left side- 
line, but Cledanor timed his 
move perfectly, stepped in 
front and intercepted the 
pigskin at the 50 and raced 
down the sideline untouched 
giving Clarion a 14-3 lead 
with 12:10 remaining in the 
third. 

Late in the third quarter the 
Eagles started another scoring 
drive after Ben Culver 
returned a Millersville punt 
from the 50 to the MU 32. 
Almashy ran for two yards, 
then completed two passes to 
Culver for 11 yards to the MU 
19. Robert Walker broke out- 
side for 13 yard run to the 
Marauder 6, but the drive 
stalled at the 1. 

Freshman placekicker Chris 
Carlton came on and booted 
his first collegiate field goal 
with 13:02 left in the game 
giving the Eagles a 17-3 lead. 
Clarion's defense set up the 
final Eagle score when junior 
corner Myron Hargon inter- 
cepted a Kris Blake pass at the 
MU 36 and returned it 7 yards 
to the Marauder 29. Almashy 
completed a key 19-yard pass 
in the drive to Cori Johnson to

the 6, when backup quarter- 
back Frantz Charles came into 
the game and scored on a 6- 
yard option run with 6:40 
remaining and a 24-3 win. 

Clarion outgained 
Millersville 329-152. The 
Golden Eagles had 243 rush- 
ing yards on 47 carries. QB 
Adam Almashy completed 11 
of 15 passes for 86 yards, plus 
ran 11 times for 56 yards and 1 
TD Charles gained 72 yards 
and 1 TD on 9 carries. Cori 
Johnson grabbed 4 passes for 
39 yards. 

Clarion's defense was led by 
Kerwin Cledanor who had 2 
interceptions and 2 break-ups, 
while Myron Hargon also post- 
ed an interception. Safety Bo 
Busch notched 9 hits and nose- 



guard Troy Bowers had 2 tfl's 
and 1 sack. 

Millersville gained only 56 
rushing yards on 28 attempts 
and Andrew and Blake com- 
bined to complete only 9 of 24 
passes for 96 yards. 

CLARION NOTES: This was 
Clarion's first win at 
Millersville since the Eagles 
won the 1977 PSAC title game 
on a Bill May field goal (25- 
24) late in the fourth quarter... 
Clarion has rushed for 200 
yards or more against every D- 
II team it has played in the 
last two years except Edinboro 
where the Eagles rushed for 
195 yards... The Eagle offen- 
sive line is led by All- 
American Reggie Wells and 
three-time all-conference 



guard Ryan Duchon... Adam 
Almashy now has 873 career 
rushing yards in his quest to 
become the first Eagle qb to 
run for 1,000 yards... Robert 
Walker moved past former 
running back Jim Fulton 
(1,240 -yards; 1972-74) and 
into 14th place on the all-time 
rushing list with 1,258 yards... 
Clarion hosts Glenville State 
next Saturday at 2pm in a 
game that will also serve as 
Family Day... Clarion will also 
be honoring the 1952 football 
team that posted a 9-0 record 
and defeated East Carolina 13- 
6 in the Lions Bowl at half- 
time. Millersville returns to 
action on September 28th 
when the Marauders host IUP 
at 7pm.

Presidential search underway 



by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••I 

The end of the 2002-2003 
school year also marks the end 
of President Diane Reinhard's 
13 years as president of this 
university. 

The Clarion University 
Presidential Search Advisory 
Committee consisting of 14 
people formally began its 
search for a new president 
Sept. 12 by meeting with exec- 
utive search firm A. T. 
Kearney. 

According to Oleta Amsler, 
chair of the presidential search 
committee, the committee met 



with the executive search 
firm's representative, Dr. Jan 
Greenwood, to discuss the 
qualities and skills the group 
believes should be found in a 
Clarion University president. 

Greenwood also met with 
other constituent groups at the 
^university to find the best 
applicants who will be present- 
ed to the search committee. 

After the applicants are pre- 
sented to the search commit- 
tee, Amsler said the committee 
must narrow the decision down 
to three candidates. 

The State System of Higher 
Education Board of Governors 
makes the final decision from 



the three candidates, Amsler 
explained. 

"Although we don't have 
complete authority over the 
whole thing, we still have 
input," Amsler said. 

Amsler said she is sad to 
have to say goodbye to 
Reinhard. 

"I'm so sad. If there was any- 
way I could prevent her leav- 
ing I would," Amsler said. 
"She has really done a tremen- 
dous job at Clarion." 

Dr. Greg Clary, faculty mem- 
ber in the department of spe- 
cial education, said he believes 
members of the university 
community have been happy

Clarion University plans health science 

education center 



Mens'+Womens' 

Clothing & Shoes

Relations 

Seven counties will receive 
expanded health education 
opportunities through the new 
Clarion University Health 
Science Education Center. 

Dr. Nancy Falvo, former 
director of Clarion 

University's Pittsburgh site at 
West Penn Hospital, is direct- 
ing the project. The Center 
will temporarily be housed at 
347 Main Street, Clarion and 
is based on concepts devel- 
oped at the Susan P. Byrnes 
Health Education Center in 
York, Pennsylvania. "We want 
Clarion's Health Science 
Education Center to be differ- 
ent from any other education 
agency within the community 
or the state," said Falvo. "I 
envision it as a very busy, high 
tech community center meet- 
ing the health education needs 
of residents of all ages." 

The primary goal of this 
three-year project is to provide 
health education programs, 
which meet National Health 
Education Standards, for 
school-aged students living 
within a 40-mile radius of the 
center. This includes residents 
in Clarion, Venango, 

Armstrong, Butler, Elk, 
Forest, and Jefferson 
Counties. 

Falvo said additional pro- 
grams are being developed for 
college-aged students, young 
adults, seniors, and special 
needs groups such as pregnant 
women, working adults, and 
individuals with chronic ill- 
nesses. Programs would also 
be offered for community 
groups, scouting organiza- 

COUPON 



tions, and health care agen- 
cies. 

According to Falvo, "The 
programs we are offering are 
designed to change or modify 
health behaviors and include a 
variety of topics such as 
tobacco cessation, substance 
abuse awareness, nutrition, 
and exercise. These programs 
have been created to promote 
healthy lifestyles for children 
and adults. Our goal is to 
inspire individuals of all ages 
to make healthy choices which 
will ultimately improve the 
future of the community." 

The initial year of the 
Center's operation will con- 
centrate on outreach programs, 
particularly for students in 
grades K-12. Falvo said the 
Center's staff will be contact- 
ing area schools in the next 
few months about bringing the 
mobile health education pro- 
grams to their classrooms. 

"The programs we are offer- 
ing compliment the current 
science and health curriculums 
within area schools. In addi- 
tion, students gain access to 
resources that may not be cur- 
rently available to them," she 
said. "Almost all of the out- 
reach programs include a lab 
component with an organ dis- 
section and are very interac- 
tive. We want students 
involved in their learning." 

The mobile outreach pro- 
grams will be offered free of 
charge to all of the surround- 
ing school districts. 

The focus will expand in 
September 2003, when the 
Center moves its operations to 
the currently vacant L & R 
building on Main Street in 
Clarion. Along with the 

1 



mobile outreach programs, 
schools will have the opportu- 
nity to send their students to 
the Center for day-long field 
trips. The renovated building 
will have a reception area, 
general meeting room for stu- 
dents, three "teaching theater" 
classrooms, offices, and a 
resource library for area teach- 
ers. Falvo sees opportunities 
for internships for area high 
school and university students. 

"We anticipate the teaching 
theiters at the Center as being 
very high tech," says Falvo. 
Computer software will be 
used to supplement the pro- 
grams. As with the mobile out- 
reach program, all of the 
exhibits will be very interac- 
tive to facilitate student par- 
ticipation in learning. 

"Currently, there are health 
education centers with interac- 
tive teaching theaters in cities 
such as Pittsburgh, Chicago, 
Indianapolis, and also the 
Smithsonian in Washington 
D.C.," said Falvo. "We are 
adding Clarion, Pennsylvania 
to that distinguished list." 

The Clarion University 
Health Science Education 
Center is under the adminis- 
tration of Dr. Art Acton, direc- 
tor of extended programs. Pat 
Yargar of Knox is serving as 
Falvo's assistant. Melanie 
Oliver of Venus and Ron 
Radaker of Sligo, have been 
hired as two of the health edu- 
cators for the Center. 

This pilot project is partially 
funded by a grant from the 
Pennsylvania Department of 
Health. For more information 
on the Health Science 
Education Center contact Dr. 
Nancy Falvo at 814-227-1901.

Student Senate allocates $1,850 to ski club 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Student Senate voted (17-2-0) 
to allocate $1,850 from its sup- 
plemental fund to the ski club at 
Monday's Student Senate meet- 
ing. 

Student Senate voted against 
allocating the $1,850 to the ski 
club at its Sept. 16 meeting (17- 
0-1). 

"We got further notification 
on how the club funds its trips 
from Dr. Madison," said 
Student Senate President Mike 
Phillips. 

Senate was unclear about 
whether or not guests that 
attend ski trips have to pay their 
own way, which was cleared up 
by Ski Club Adviser Dr. Dana 
Madison. 

Guests have to pay five dol- 
lars for a bus seat along with ski 
rentals, lift tickets and food. 
Members of the ski club pay 
two dollars for bus seats. A bus 
seat is worth ten dollars. 

"In the 10 years that I have 
been an adviser no one used 
Student Senate money for any- 
thing other than transportation," 
said Madison. 

Madison noted that non- 
Clarion University students 
hardly attend ski trips. 

"I've never known a guest to 
come on every trip," said 
Madison. 

A guest can either be a Clarion 
student or a non-Clarion 
University student said 
Madison. 

"We don't distinguish 
between whether or not they 
(guests) are Clarion students or 
someone's family member," 
said Madison. 

The issue of whether or not 
ski club fundraises and partici- 
pates in community service was 
brought up at last week's meet- 
ing. Ski club is now planning on 
doing both this semester. 

Madison is appreciative of 



Student Senate. 

"I was very impressed with 
the Senators after the meet- 
ing, "said Madison. "I must 
have had half a dozen conversa- 
tions with Senators afterward." 
Phillips supports Student 
Senate's decicsion to allocate 
the money. 

"I feel good about the deci- 
sion, it's what's right," said 
Phillips. 

Student Senate also voted on 
moving organizations to either 
probationary or inactive status. 
Friday was the deadline for 
organizations to hand in all 
paperwork. 

Student Senate voted (19-0-0) 
that the following organizations 
be moved to inactive status as 
well as have their funds frozen 
until all necessary paperwork 
be turned in:

Senators that two Senators will 
be sent to a weekend conference 
in Penn State. 

The conference will deal with 
weekend programming and 
occur in October. 

Penn State keeps more than

said Phillips.

Senators are elected one will be 
chosen to attend the conference 
as well.

Venango campus shines in spotlight 



Courtesy of University 
Relations 

Clarion University of 
Pennsylvania Venango Campus 
was in the spotlight Thursday 
night as the Clarion University 
Council of Trustees held their reg- 
ular meeting at the Oil City cam- 
pus. 

President Diane L. Reinhard 
introduced Chris Reber, new 
executive dean of Venango 
Campus, noting there are plenty 
of reasons to be excited about the 
growth at Venango. 

"I'm now into my third month 
here as executive dean and it's 
been a great pleasure to meet so 
many good people in the commu- 
nity and the university," said 
Reber. "As most of you know, 
Clarion University- Venango 
Campus just finished celebrating 
40 years of service to this com- 
munity, making us the oldest 
regional campus in the State 
System of Higher Education. 
We're proud of our history and 
pleased to be embarking upon 
plans for the continued growth 
and development of our partner- 
ship with the region." 

Some of the campus highlights 
outlined by Reber include: 
*The School of Nursing offers 
programs at Clarion University, 
Venango Campus, West Penn 
Hospital in Pittsburgh, Slippery 
Rock University, Slippery Rock's 



Wexford site, Edinboro 
University, Lock Haven 
University's Clearfield Campus, 
the Meadville Medical Center, 
and the Higher Education Center 
in Warren. 

*The addition of Sally Bowser as 
assistant executive dean 
*Nursing also maintains approxi- 
mately 75 affiliating agreements 
with health care agencies and pre- 
ceptors in order to provide high- 
quality clinical experiences for 
nursing students. 

♦Montgomery Hall's state-of-the- 
art academic center provides 
video conferencing capabilities 
that allow Venango to transmit 
courses to other sites and import 
courses from other sites. 
♦Continuing education programs 
are growing in dramatic fashion 
under the leadership of Hope 
♦Lineman, now a full-time 
employee this year. 
♦Venango is developing certifi- 
cate programs that combine non- 
credit and credit instruction, and 
in the case of the new electronic 
technology certificate program, 
the campus is partnering with the 
Venango Technology Center. 
♦Venango Campus offers associ- 
ate degrees in seven areas. 
♦The paralegal program is the 
only two-year program of its kind 
in western Pennsylvania approved 
by the American Bar Association. 
♦Students at Venango can begin 



any of Clarion's more than 90 
four-year programs and later 
transfer to the Clarion Campus to 
complete the baccalaureate pro- 
grams. 

"We're experiencing our third 
consecutive year of growth, with 
over 600 students enrolled in 
undergraduate and graduate pro- 
grams at Venango, and over 750 
when you add students attending 
classes in Pittsburgh and other 
locations," said Reber. 
Budget Items 

"We face a difficult budget situ- 
ation, but we have produced a 
valid budget that deals with our 
operation in the most prudent way 
possible," said Paul Bylaska, vice 
president for finance and adminis- 
tration, in seeking trustee 
approval for the annual budget for 
2002-03 and its submission to the 
State System. 

The $63.1 million budget 
requires the university adminis- 
tration to deal with a $2.5 million 
shortfall over two years that 
requires reallocations to meet the 
requirements for a balanced bud- 
get. 

When asked about the impact of 
those reductions on academic 
affairs, Provost Joe Grunenwald 
said there are 15 fewer faculty this 
year and five fewer administrative 
positions. 

'This has forced us to have larg- 
er class sizes at lower divisions 



level courses and offer elective 
courses on a rotation system," 
said Grunenwald. Class size aver- 
ages 26 and there are now more 
than 12 classes above 50. 

"This is also a cumulative effect 
of budget reductions and loss in 
the percentage of state support 
since the 1990s," said Reinhard. 

State appropriations as a per- 
centage of total revenue has 
dropped from 58.1 percent in 
Fiscal Year 1996 to 48.5 percent 
this year. 

Informational Items 
Promoted by the President effec- 
tive Aug. 24:

Stover, music.

Clarion students seek jobs to make some money 



by Lisa Covington 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Money is hard to come by 
when you are a college student, 
but Clarion students are finding 
a way around that through on 
and off campus jobs. 

Some on campus jobs include 
resident assistants, north and 
south area desk clerks and pub- 
lic safety employees. 

Undecided sophomore, 
Michelle Pencosky, is one stu- 
dent who works to earn some 
cash. 

"Students working is a good 
idea especially when you live 
off campus and pay bills and for

Clarion University students find jobs on campus but are not limited to the campus community 
for job options. 



your own food," said Pencosky 
who works at the North Area 
Desk about 10 hours a week. 

Once Pencosky declares a 
major, finding a job in her field 
is recommended. 

Director of Financial Aid, 
Ken Grugel, suggests students 
try to find a job within their 
field of study. 

"It makes sense if you are a 



biology major to maintain a job 
as a lab assistant (in that depart- 
ment) than shelving books in 
the library," said Grugel. 

The financial aid office, 
which is in Egbert hall, has a 
bulletin board displaying cur- 
rent jobs available on and off 
campus. 

During the 2001-2002 acade- 
mic year, the Financial Aid 
office provided on campus 
employment for more than 
1,000 students. The majority of 
jobs are available through the 
library and intramural pro- 
grams. 

Director of the Women's 



Studies Center, Dr. Deborah 
Burghart, works with students 
to find their interests. 

"We try to utilize the students 
strengths and develop their tal- 
ents in relation to their 
major/minor and career goals," 
said Burghart. 

For those students who would 
rather work off campus many 
options exist. 

Students may choose to work 
at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, CVS 
Pharmacy or local pizza shops 
amongst other places. 

K-Mart Assistant Manager, 
Kathy Femlee, reminds stu- 
dents of the busy seasons. 



"The next time that will be 
busy for us is before 
Christmas," said Felmlee. 

Students, then, should apply 
for jobs as soon as possible to 
be considered for positions. 

There are at least 15 students 
who currently work as cashiers 
at K-Mart about 10-15 hours a 
week. 
Felmlee says K-Mart is always 
accepting applications. 

After filling out applications 
students should follow up with 
the potential employer one 
week later. 

"Persistent students will find 
jobs," said Grugel. 



Spence participates 
in THIS program 

Courtesy of University 
Relations 

Michael Spence of St. Marys is 
working at the Pennsylvania 
Department of Enviornmental 
Protection as a part of a 15- week 
internship program sponsored by 
the Educational Resources Group, 
Pennsylvania State System of 
Higher Education. 

Spence is one of the 14 students 
participating in the Harnsburg 
Internship Semester (THIS) pro- 
gram, which provides students the 
opportunity to work in all areas of 
state government while earning a 
full semester's worth of credits. 

Spence is a senior biology major 
at Clarion University of 
Pennsylvania. He is the son of 
Jeff and Michele Spence and is a 
1998 graduate of Elk County 
Christian High School. 

The semester-long THIS pro- 
gram invites students from each 
of the 14 State System universi- 
ties to participate. Spence and the 
other students participating in the 
program will attend several acad- 
emic seminars during their fall 
semester internship. He also will 
complete an individualized 
research project as part of the pro- 
gram's requirements. 

More than 120 students from 
State System universities have 
participated in THIS since the 
program began in 1989.

Senate accepting student trustee applications 



by Kelly Drevitch 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Student Senate is currently 
accepting positions for the 
Student Trustee Position for 
the 2003 spring semester. 

"I want an applicant who 
can work well with others and 
enjoy the position," said 
Student Senate President 
Mike Phillips. 

The trustee sits on the 
Council of Trustees with both 
the faculty and student senate 
presidents and has full voting 
rights. 

The trustee helps to bring 
the voice and opinion of 
Clarion students to the 
Trustee Council. 

"We are looking for that 
type of individual who is 
hardworking and dedicated to 
Clarion University," said 
Phillips. 
The student trustee may help 



evaluate the president based 
on the president's perfor- 
mance in terms of leadership 
and progress of the institu- 
tion. 

The student trustee also 
assists in many fiscal affairs. 
For example, he/she helps 
review and approve annual 
operating and capital budgets, 
student recreation center fees 
and health center fees. 

The student trustee also 
meets with the student and 
faculty senate presidents 
every other month to discuss 
what's going on in other orga- 
nizations. 

The new student trustee will 
replace Joe Sciulio, a two- 
year veteran of the position, 
who graduates in December. 

"If interested applicants 
have questions about the posi- 
tion, Joe is good about 
answering them," said 
Phillips. 



A candidate must be a full- 
time undergraduate student 
other than a freshman, 
enrolled for at least 12 semes- 
ter hours and in good academ- 
ic standing. 

Candidates must also com- 
plete an application form, 
which are available in the 
Student Senate office at 269 
Gemmeli Student Center. 

Candidates must also pro- 
vide three letters of recom- 
mendation along with the 
application form.

submitted to the Student 
Senate Office by 5 p.m. on

Even then, I'm 

afraid to leave her. 99

Edibmt, Matthew T. /% 
"late, Shift 



a.m. on a 
when my 



and 



It's 12:40 
Saturday night 
alarm beeps. 

It's time to get up 
escort my girlfriend to her 
job. She works as a desk clerk 
in Campbell Hall at the newly 
created South Area desk. 

Tonight, she is working 
again from 1 to 5 a.m. 

We walk out into the black- 
ness of night and down from 
Givan Hall to the poorly lit 
sidewalk along Wilson 
Avenue. 

Across the street intoxicat- 
ed men watch us from their 
dark porches. If I'm not 
accompanying her, they 
would call out to her in their 



drunkenness with catcalls that 
cannot be printed in this 
newspaper. 

When we finally reach the 
end of the sidewalk in front 
of the Reimer Snack Bar, 
which is closed and dark 
hours before our arrival, a 
crowd has gathered around 
two men brawling. Public 
Safety is no where to be 
found. 

We sneak by them into 
Campbell Hall where another 
female desk clerk is waiting 
to be relieved. She leaves 
alone to travel the same path 
from which we've just come. 

In the lobby, another large 
group has gathered. As my 



Dp/m/dm 

girlfriend takes her seat 
behind the desk, we listen to 
them speak boisterously 
about confronting and attack- 
ing some other groups of 
individuals. Their speeches 
are filled with racial slurs. 

I stay with my girlfriend at 
the desk until the crowds both 
inside and outside have dis- 
persed. Even then I'm afraid 
to leave her. 

On other nights, drunken 
men have come to the desk, 
harassed her and threatened 
to come behind the desk with 
her. On such occasions, her 
own wits have saved her, not 
Public Safety. 

Her eyes fill with tears, but 
she resists crying. She tries to 
not let the job get to her. She 
needs a job, like many other 
students on campus. 

My girlfriend used to work 
at Becht Hall. She used to 
work during the day. She used 
to feel safe. 

Now my girlfriend works in 
the middle of the night fear- 
ing for her own safety at the 
South Area desk while Barry 
Morris, director of housing, 
and Harry Tripp, vice presi- 
dent of student and unversity 
affairs, sleep safely and 
soundly in their warm beds. 

Matthew T. May is a senior 
communication major.

Perhaps it is because everyone 
is afraid of putting themselves out

mate Coral was quite nasty, but it 
was Malik, another roommate, 
who took up his cause. 

Malik offered to spend each day 
in February educating Mike about 
black history. By putting himself 
out there, Mike learned, and by 
treating Mike with respect, Malik 
was able to teach. 

Lesson 2. We all feel passion- 
ately about something important, 
it's just a matter of realizing that 
passion, and then acting on it. In 
the first season of The Real 
World, Julie, a white, small-town 
girl from the South was intro- 
duced to the big city, New York. 
While Julie was there, she was 
surprised by the plight of the

has its lessons, from Page 6. 

homeless. 

Instead of turning her back on 
these people and enjoying the 
fact that she lived in a beautiful 
apartment for which MTV was 
paying, Julie used her position as 
a television personality to bring 
attention to the cause. 

She went as far as to spend a 
night with the homeless in order 
to have a better, although not 
complete, understanding of their 
lifestyle. 

Lesson 3. Our experiences are 
interesting to others. Almost any 
season of The Real World (or 
any reality program) can lend 
itself to this lesson. However, for 



the sake of brevity, and column 
inches, I will point to two of my 
favorite Real World cast mem- 
bers, Pedro and Puck, both from 
season three in San Francisco. 

These two were as different as 
night and day. Pedro was a 
young, gay, Latino man from 
Miami who was living with HIV. 
Puck was a white, bike messen- 
ger with really bad hygiene, 
from San Francisco. 

They both had incredible sto- 
ries to tell. Puck told of a wild 
life as a soapbox derby racer 
who didn't care what anyone 
thought of him. 

Pedro told the story of a young 
man who knew he was dying, 
but wanted to live what was left 
of his life to the fullest. Both sto- 



ries were worth the time to fol- 
low. Both characters were not 
afraid to share of themselves, 
and in doing so opened new 
worlds to other people. 

The Free Press is not a vehicle 
for much of what goes on in real- 
ity television, but the main con- 
cept is shared. This is a space to 
open up and be yourself. 

It is an area where you can 
express yourself, whether it's a 
story from your childhood, an 
editorial about campus or social 
policy, or an analogy between 
writing and reality television. 
This space is for your ideas, and 
you are extended an invitation to 
share them.

As the semester progresses, so 
do the responsibilities of Student 
Senate. As you probably already 
know, freshmen elections are 
being held at Chandler Dining 
Hall, Reimer Snack Bar and the 
Carlson Library at various hours 
for the remainder of the week. 

Elections are open to all stu- 
dents, so please get out and vote 
for the person you believe will 
represent your needs and 
demands as a student to the rest 
of Clarion University. 

We have three great candidates 
for the two available positions, 
so please get involved and vote. 

Just as our freshmen candiates 
already have demonstrated a 
desire to get involved with 
Student Senate, I want to encour- 
age each and every student to be 
active with Senate as well. 
Although not everyone can 
become a senator, our meetings 
are at 7:30 p.m. every Monday in 
246 Gemmell and they are open 
to the public. 

During the "open forum" por- 
tion of our meetings the floor is 
open for public comment, sug- 
gestions, criticism or announce- 
ments. There is no reason for you 
to remian silent. 

We strive day in and day out to 
represent the student body of 
Clarion University, but our job 
would be much more effective if 
we had more student input. 



Please don't think there are any 
questions, suggestions or obser- 
vations that are too small or 
insignificant to be looked into in 
greater depth by Senate. 

We are here to be a driving 
voice for Clarion students and I 
want to encourage students to 
become involved in our efforts. 

Becoming involved in Senate is 
not the only experience available 
at Clarion University. By this 
time in the semester you are 
probably beginning to realize 
you have more free time than you 
can handle. 

There are more than 140 uni- 
versity recognized student orga- 
nizations ranging from those that 
are more academically affiliated 
to those that are primarily social. 

To obtain more information 
about organizations that suit you 
rinterests, contact the Office of 
Campus Life by calling 393- 
2311 or by stopping by 251 
Gemmell. 

In closing, I just want to remind 
the student body that Senate is 
here to be your voice, a driving 
voice for the students of Clarion 
University. For any questions, 
concerns or comments please 
email us at senate@clarion.edu. 

Become active on campus 
because your college experience, 
in the end, will be a reflection of 
the steps you take and the deci- 
sions you make today.

MLK Speaker Series begins with "The Greatest" 



The Ccar/o/v Cau 



Page 9 



by Carolyn Kelley 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

The first of the Martin 
Luther King Jr. series began 
Tuesday night in Hart Chapel 
with this year's theme as 
"Breaking Down The Barrier." 
Geoffrey C. Ewing performed 
the one-man show "A Tribute 
to the Greatest," which is cen- 
tered on the early days of box- 
ing great Muhammad Ali. 

Ewing's lecture, perfor- 
mance type of show is an off- 
shoot of his hit off-Broadway 
play "Ali." 

Ewing began the perfor- 
mance in character, walking 
through the aisles shaking 
audience members' hands as 
the older, Parkinson's dis- 
eased Muhammad Ali. 

The stage set consisted of a 
coat rack clad in the boxer's 
red boxing robe, a wooden 
stool, and a podium was avail- 
able for Ewing when he 
slipped out of character to talk 
to the audience as a historian 
of sorts on the changing times 
of the 1950's and 1960's and 
what Ali was going through in 
those years. 



Geoffrey Ewing was very 
informative and energetic in 
this 60-minute play. A dull 
moment was never found with 
Ewing dancing around dis- 
playing his best boxing jabs 
and hooks. 

For someone who knew 
nothing about this boxing leg- 
end going into the program, 
they came out with a great 
understanding of the main 
parts of his life. 

The audience learned of 
Ali's many victorious fights 
and not so great ones — like 
his loss against Joe Frazier for 
the heavyweight champi- 
onship. Also portrayed was 
Ali's willfulness to express 
himself to anyone who cared 
to hear how great of a boxer 
he thought he was and would 
always be. Ali was also exiled 
for three and a half years and 
not allowed to box anywhere 
due to his avoidance of going 
to the Vietnam War. 

One act of the play showed 
Ali's love for children and his 
eagerness to please them. It is 
quite evident in his personal 
life that Muhammad loves 
kids due to the fact that he has 



nine of his own children. 

It was hard for Muhammad 
Ali to throw in the towel for 
his boxing career even at the 
age of 50. He still had hopes 
of making a comeback and 
reclaiming his title. 

Ali has had the ill effects of 
boxing catch up with him. He 
has suffered brain and kidney 
damage and is now living with 
Parkinson's disease. 

"A Tribute to the Greatest" 
has taken Geoffrey Ewing 
everywhere from New York 
City to Los Angeles and 
London and even a perfor- 
mance for the 1996 Olympic 
Arts Festival in Atlanta. 

Ewing has also had the plea- 
sure to meet Muhammad Ali. 
Ali has even been in atten- 
dance to several of the one- 
man-show performances. 

Members of the audience at 
Tuesday's viewing here at 
Clarion were given free t- 
shirts with a picture of Ali and 
Ewing gracing the front of the 
shirt. 

Some members of the audi- 
ence might have recognized 
Ewing from other perfor- 
mances. Ewing has been on 



daytime soap operas as 
Detective Charles Harrison on 
"Loving" and more recently as 
Griffin Williams on "Guiding 
Light." He has also performed 
on Broadway, off-Broadway, 
in daytime and prime time 
television and in television 
commercials. 

The Martin Luther King Jr. 
Committee, Minority Student 
Services, the Presidents 
Commission on Human 



Relations, and the Black 
Student Union sponsored 
Tuesday's performance. The 
next show in the Martin 
Luther King Jr. Speaker Series 
is Carol Ann Carter. She will 
be visiting Clarion University 
on Thursday, Oct. 17. For 
more information on any of 
the future programs contact 
the Minority Student Services 
in 279 Gemmell. 




Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call 

Geoffrey Ewing doesn't just talk about Muhammad Ali, he 
becomes the legendary boxer in his one-man show "A Tribute 
to the Greatest. " The show starts off the Martin Luther King Jr. 
Speaker Series for the 2002-2003 academic year. 



Farm Aid benefit concert plays in Pennsylvania 



by Amanda Brukner 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



Thousands of fans packed into The Post Gazette 
Pavilion on Saturday, Sept. 21 for this year's 2002 
Farm Aid benefit concert. 

Headliners for this yearly touring event were the leg- 
endary Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp 
and Dave Matthews. 

The weather was sunny and the fans were ready to 
sing along with the amazing talent that graced the 
stage. 

Farm Aid is a concert put together by Willie Nelson 
to help America's farmers who are feeling the negative 
effects of factory farming. These farmers need support 
from Americans to maintain their jobs and support 



their families. 

Supporters of Farm Aid believe factory farming is 
taking profit from these farmers with food that is 
unhealthy and unnatural and that is sold every day for 
shear profit. 

Farm Aid makes thousands of dollars at each benefit 
concert performed and hopes to help family farmers for 
years to come. 

The concert was a huge success this year, with other 
performers including LeeAnn Womack, who started off 
the all day event with her ballad "I Hope You Dance" 
and Toby Keith, who brought the crowd to their feet 
with his patriotic song, "The Angry American." 

Kid Rock brought some energy to the event with a 
performance of "Cowboy," which took a pause to pay 
tribute to the late Waylon Jennings and a cover of his 



theme song from the old television show The Dukes of 
Hazzard, "Just The Good Old Boys." 

He also played a cover of Bob Seger's "Fire Down 
Below," showing his admiration for so many of his 
idols. 

Dave Matthews made a rare solo appearance without 
his band, who are one of the number one top selling 
and touring bands in the world. His version of Jimi 
Hendrix's "All Along The Watchtower" proved his true 
talent in guitar playing. 

Matthews also played the band's original ballad 
"Crush" causing lighters to be lit as far as the eye 
could see. 

Matthews played a number of songs from his

people to kill." 

After a moment of silence, 
laughter and clapping began 
echoing through the room. 

The sticks of dynamite were, 
of course, only harmless props 
and the man on stage was no 
terrorist. He was Iranian comic 
"Hood" performing for a less- 
than-packed house. The 
University Activities Board 
sponsored the event. 

Born in Iran but raised in the 
United States, Hood, which is 
the comedian's real name and 
according to him is an ancient 
Arab word meaning "top of 
your car," shares life experi- 
ences that humorously yet 
powerfully address issues of 
diversity in our culture. 

The Gemmell Multipurpose 
Room was set up to seat hun- 
dreds of people. Unfortunately, 
less than 30 people made up 
the crowd for the comedian's 
performance. Since it was 
Family Day at Clarion 
University on Saturday, half of 
the audience was parents and 
children. 

"This is like doing a show 
for your parents in the base- 
ment," Hood joked as he 
looked out over the vastness of 
empty chairs. 



Throughout his performance, 
Hood could not help but to 
joke about the lack of atten- 
dance. He would welcome each 
of the latecomers and inform 
them about the events that had 
occurred before their arrival. 

When an audience member 
left the room. Hood said to 
him, "Don't worry, we won't 
do anything until you get 
back." 



This is like doing a 
show for your parents 
in the basement. Q§ 

-Comedian "Hood" 



Then he said to the audience, 
"What can we do? He's one- 
fifteenth of the crowd." 

The comedian also joked 
about how Clarion was in the 
middle of nowhere (as if no 
one in the audience ever made 
similar jokes), dating, racial 
issues, and his general obser- 
vations about life. 

Like most professional come- 
dians, Hood was not restricted 
to his set routine. 

In fact, at one part of his per- 
formance, he said, "I just lost 



an hour chunk of material 
because there is an 8 year old 
boy here." 

Hood's comedy isn't exactly 
squeaky clean, fun-for-the- 
whole-family entertainment. 
His routine consists of several 
mature subjects and a lot of 
profanity as would be expected 
of a comedian performing for 
college students. 

The University Activities 
Board must have known about 
the nature of his comedy 
before they booked him. Of all 
the days in the semester they 
could have brought him to 
Clarion, why did they choose 
to do it on Family Day? 

"Look at me, I'm saying 
'crap!'" exclaimed Hood while 
he was trying to censor some 
of his own profanity. "I haven't 
said 'crap' in years.*' 

Despite the self-censoring 
and small audience, comedian 
Hood was still able to keep the 
audience laughing through his 
entire performance, which 
demonstrated his true profes- 
sionalism. 

Hopefully, the UAB will 
bring Hood back to Clarion 
University in the near future - 
preferably for a larger audience 
and not on Family Day.

Movie Review 



The Banger Sisters rock at the theater 



by Jeannette Good 
CtamnCaU Staff VVriter # 

"True friends know the song 
of your heart, but your best 
friend will sing it back when 
you forget it," reminded me of 
the movie The Banger Sisters. 

Your best friend may remind 
you of the way you used to 
laugh with a snort, the days 
when you had nothing better 
to do than sit on the ledge of a 
billboard, or how you felt in 
your first mosh pit. 

This is the whole premise 
behind The Banger Sisters, 
directed by Bob Dolman, 
which opened in theaters on 
Friday. The movie stars 
Goldie Hawn and Susan 
Sarandon as best friends and is 
rated R for obvious sexual and 
drug content. 

Suzette, played by Hawn, is 
an out of control blond who 
lives in her memories of a 
groupie and being with guys 
like Jimmy Page and Jim 
Morrison. She cherishes her 
job and just the simple plea- 
sures of life. 

She's the kind of free spirit- 
ed, defiant person who will act 
seemingly unpredictable, like 
taking a road trip to Phoenix. 
Goldie Hawn plays the part 

Book Review 



quite well by keeping a youth- 
ful, rebellious attitude and 
persona, making Suzette a 
realistic character. Like the 
image of a dangling cigarette 
from full-size, red lips, her 
mannerisms fit the part of 
Suzette. 

Suzette loses her beloved 
bartending job of which her 
life revolves around, forcing 
her to drive to Phoenix and 
beg money from her best 
friend Livinia "Vinnie" 
Kingsley, played by Sarandon, 
who is married to a rich 
lawyer. 

The road trip from outside of 
Hollywood to Phoenix intro- 
duces the character of an anal 
writer Harry Plumber, played 
by Geoffrey Rush, who is 
plotting a death. 

Pulling up to Blossom Circle 
and approaching the Kingsley 
household, Suzette turns back, 
tracks down Harry's hotel 
room and stays with him, 
coincidentally in the same 
hotel which Vinnie's daughter 
Hannah's senior prom is tak- 
ing place. 

After a crazy night, Suzette 
drives Hannah home and 
speaks face to face with her 
adolescent best friend for the 
first time in twenty years. 



The mere sight from the 
night before made Suzette 
aware of the differences 
between her and her old best 
friend. She chose to drive 
away and have nothing more 
to do with Vinnie, now only 
referred to by her complete 
and proper name Livinia. 
However, Livinia finds the 
hotel, the room and invites 
Suzette to lunch. 

Livinia Kingsley is a per- 
fect, uptight lawyer's wife, 
living in a beautiful environ- 
ment surrounded by large 
houses with dedicated wings 
and in-ground swimming 
pools the size of or bigger 
than the average sized yard. 

Sarandon fits the character 
of Vinnie well because she 
appears to be high strung and 
more of a nervous person, 
motherly in the way that a 
vein may pop out of her fore- 
head at any time. 

Livinia hides her past days 
of rock concerts and her best 
friend from her family and the 
fake world around her, which 
she chose to create. In fact, 
Suzette sees herself as "a 
blemish in her [Livinia's] pris- 
sy, little world." 

The Kingsley family in gen- 
eral lives in a prissy world, 



spoiled by upper class luxu- 
ries, but the Kingsleys' strug- 
gle with sincere individual and 
family problems. 

However, these troubles all 
fall into believable and under- 
standable categories, for peo- 
ple of the Kingsley's social 
class. 

Fly sex, a gun, a hospital 
visit, a sexual encounter, and a 
graduation happen, in no spe- 
cific order, and force Livinia 
to remember her earlier years 
with her best friend and relive 
memories through pho- 



tographs and anecdotes. 

The Banger Sisters relies 
heavily on the idea of fate and 
finding yourself and refusing 
to lose that sense of who you 
really are. 

Every character, including 
the teenage Kingsley daugh- 
ters Ginger and Hannah, 
played by Eva Amurri and 
Erika Christenson, learned 
more about their inner selves. 

For his first movie as a 
director, Bob Dolman 
undoubtedly started with a 
bang.

Romance author writes engaging thriller 



by Beth LeVier-Pentz 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



Best-selling author Julie Garwood is best known 
for her historical romances. 

However, Heartbreaker, her newest paperback 
novel, takes place in modern times, focuses less on 
the budding romance between her two main charac- 
ters, and puts more emphasize on keeping the reader 
in suspense. 

Although you would think Garwood is out of her 
element, she has created a book that will keep you on 
the edge of your seat from beginning to end. 
Heartbreaker is by far Julie Garwood's best work to 
date. 

Heartbreaker draws you in from the very begin- 
ning with a serial killer confessing to Priest Tom 
Madden. "Bless me father for 1 will sin." 

He then informs the priest his next victim is going 
to be his younger sister Laurant Madden, and that 
he's been secretly watching her every move for 



months. 

The madman then tells the priest to break his vow 
of silence and notify the authorities because it makes 
the game more challenging for him. 

The priest's best friend is an FBI agent named Nick 
Buchanan. Father Tom Madden calls him and 
explains the situation. 

Nick flies to Holy Oaks, Iowa to become Laurant's 
bodyguard despite being afraid to fly. But don't be 
fooled by Nick's fear of flying since it seems to be 
his only weakness. 

Nick is a secret agent with a special branch of the 
FBI who works on recovering lost or abducted chil- 
dren. Nick's FBI comrades also come to Holy Oaks 
and go undercover to help catch the killer. 

One fellow agent Noah Clayborne, who is com- 
pletely obsessed with sex, goes undercover as a vis- 
iting out of town priest, so he can be Father Tom 
Madden's bodyguard. This turn of events leads to 
many humorous mishaps throughout the novel. 

The FBI's plan is to have Laurant and Nick pretend 



to be romantically involved to anger the killer and 
bring him out of hiding. 

Nick and Laurant put on a good show around Holy 
Oaks, making people believe that they are madly in 
love. 

However, in typical fashion of a romance writer, 
Nick becomes too personally involved in the case 
when Laurant and him really become romantically 
involved. 

Nick's feelings for Laurant scare him even more 
than flying. 

Nick believes there isn't anytime for a personal 
life in his line of work and that he's only putting 
Laurant in more danger. 

When the killer finally does emerge, the book takes 
a very dramatic turn that will keep you holding your 
breath and furiously flipping pages to see what hap- 
pens next. 

Filled with suspense, drama, and even humor, you 
won't be disappointed by Julie Garwood's 
Heartbreaker.

Music Review 



Kelly Clarkson proves "American Idol" status 



by Anne Golden 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



Kelly Clarkson should be a house- 
hold name by now. In case you were 
working (or playing) too hard this 
summer and did not get to see Fox's 
smash hit television show, American 
Idol, Kelly Clarkson is our American 
Idol. 

Kelly beat out millions to be award- 
ed the chance to record the songs, 
"Before Your Love" and "A Moment 
Like This" that are on her newly 
released single. 

"American Idol" captured millions 
of viewers this summer by combining 
"Popstars" (molding an artist) with 
"Star Search" (finding the best of the 
best). The show is based on the UK 
version, Pop Idol, and Kelly could sing 
circles around the winner from that 
show. 

The premise of the show was simple. 
Singers would audition in front of 3 
judges, ex-popstar Paula Abdul, pro- 
ducer Randy Jackson, and the ever- 
popular British producer Simon 
Cowell. 

Those judges would then choose 30 



of the best, give them the airtime to 
showcase their talent, and let America 
narrow them down to two finalists by 
voting on who they wanted to become 
the first "American Idol." Kelly 
Clarkson was one of those finalists. 

Kelly stood out from the beginning 
with her powerful voice, and America 
knew it. Right after winning American 
Idol, the CD single of "Before Your 
Love" and "A Moment Like This" was 
rushed to production to be released in 
stores to feed the fans of the summer's 
most popular show. 

The single showcases Kelly's amaz- 
ing voice with incredible songs that 
only Kelly could sing. 

On the finale of "American Idol," 
Kelly went up against her also very 
talented competition, Justin Guarini 
and had to sing these two songs in 
front of a live audience and all of 
America. If Justin Guarini had won 
American Idol, his vocals would not 
even have compared to Kelly's on 
these tracks. 

Both of the songs have great lyrics. 
Although they are love songs, they are 
well written and not too mushy. The 



lyrics do not over power the song and 
let Kelly's voice make them meaning- 
ful. 

The songs are also not over produced 
with too many vocal effects or over 
loaded with instruments. Both songs 
are slow, and make the listener look 
forward to hearing Kelly sing a faster 
song on her first album. 

On both of the songs an acoustic gui- 
tar, strings, simple beat, and a choir 
accompany Kelly. Even the choir can- 
not outshine Kelly's voice. 

Randy Jackson once said that Kelly 
could sing the phonebook and it would 
be beautiful, which is true. "Before 
Your Love" lets Kelly shine with the 
last chorus letting her powerful voice 
end the song. 

"A Moment Like This" is Kelly's 
theme song. On the last show, Kelly 
sang the lyrics "I can't believe it's 
happening to me, some people wait a 
lifetime for a moment like this" 
through tears. 

The song describes how wonderful it 
is finally finding love, but Kelly can 
take it as living her dream and becom- 
ing the love of America. Who would 



have thought that a girl from Burleson, 
Texas would accomplish becoming our 
American Idol? 

Kelly is genuine and friendly, which 
only adds to her Idol status. Let's hope 
that she stays that way and defines 
what an American Idol should be, tal- 
ented, confident, and genuine. 

She is also very pretty in a classic 
yet hip way, which might not be as 
obvious from the picture of her single 
which is not the best picture of her. 
That is seriously the only bad thing 
about this single. 

Kelly's first single is only a preview 
of what is to come. Kelly's debut 
album will be released on Nov. 26, and 
by having such an amazing voice and 
two solid songs on this single, Kelly is 
sure to prove to America that they 
chose the right American Idol. 

Kelly Clarkson is promising to be the 
next Mariah Carey or Whitney 
Houston. If she can find good songs 
that let her voice soar, twenty-year-old 
Kelly Clarkson can be around for a 
long time and set a new standard for 
what every vocal artist should strive 
for.

(Formerly Gisellaa) 




Kushner, known for his 
Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award 
winning "Angels In America" 
uses "Slavs" to present an emo- 
tional and political discussion 
of the breakdown of the USSR 
and the legacy that Russian 
communism left the land and its 
people. 

In one and one-half hours, he 
melds a broad range of recent 
Soviet experiences and the 
quintessence of being a Slav 
with dialogues and monologues. 
"'Slavs!' is a profound and 
funny play about people and 
socialism that engages both 
heart and mind," says Robert 
Levy, assistant professor of the- 
atre and director of the play. 
"As the characters constantly 
remind us, people make history, 
though not in conditions of their 
own choosing. 

"While dealing with many of 
the same themes as 'Angels in 
America,' Kushner does so from 
a completely different perspec- 
tive. The dichotomy and trust 
and misplaced trust both 
between the government and its 



people, and among peoples is 
central to both plays. Part of 
Kushner's genius as a play- 
wright is his ability to deal with 
such heavy and universal topics 
and still keep a sense of humor. 
While not totally comic, it is 
extraordinarily funny, and while 
not a tragedy it is serious in the 
handling of sensitive subjects." 

Set in the time period between 
the death of Premier Konstantin 
Chernanko and the selection of 
Mikhail Gorbachev as Soviet 
leader, "Slavs!" involves a wide 
variety of characters from 
ancient Politburo members 
whose memories span the entire 
course of Russian community 
history, to snow-sweeps, and a 
pediatric oncologist in her 30's. 

"Kushner has a gift for bring- 
ing piercing human dimensions 
to political theatre. He captures 
the big, abstract picture, but 
only as a means of getting to the 
more intimate details, the con- 
sequences and turmoil of transi- 
tional chaos," says Levy. 
'"Slavs!" is indeed about the 
dissolution of an empire, but 



Kushner's heart lies with the 
men and women going down 
with the ship, the aging 
Bolsheviks and pie-in-the-sky 
reforms, the withering bureau- 
crats and opportunists, all won- 
dering which way to turn next. 

Each of the actors in the play 
is being asked to perform two 
roles, playing the opposite side 
of the issues depending upon 
which character is on stage at 
the time. 

"The most difficult part about 
the play for the cast is switching 
mind sets," says Levy. "This is a 
good experience for them. For 
instance, very rarely does a 
young actress have an opportu- 
nity to play a 95-year-old 
Russian male." 

"This is a magnificently well- 
written play," concludes Levy. 
"It deals with a topic in which 
the general Clarion University 
student is not well versed, the 
fall of the Soviet Union. But 
since it changed the balance of 
powers in the world. It is some- 
thing that has an affect on them, 
and all of us"

The Ciar/oh Cau

Miami road hogs will drive you crazy 



by Dave Barry 
Syndicated Writer 



So I have to tell you what I saw on 
the interstate the other night. 

First, though, you must understand 
that this was not just any old inter- 
state. This was 1-95 in downtown 
Miami, proud home of the worst 
darned drivers in the world. 

I realize some of you are saying: 
"Oh yeah? If you want to see REAL- 
LY bad drivers, you should come to 
MY city!" 

Listen, I understand that this is a 
point of civic honor, and I am sure 
that the drivers in your city are all 
homicidal morons. 

But trust me when I tell you that 
there is no way they can compete with 
the team that Miami puts on the road. 

I know what I'm talking about. I 
have driven in every major U.S. city, 
including Boston, where the motorists 
all drive as though there is an open 
drawbridge just ahead, and they need 
to gain speed so they can jump across 
it. 

I have also driven in Italy, where 
there is only one traffic law, which is 
that no driver may ever be behind any 
other driver, the result being that at 
all times, all the motorists in the 
nation, including those in funeral pro- 
cessions, are simultaneously trying to 
pass. 

I have ridden in a taxi in the 
Argentine city of Mar Del Plata (liter- 



ally, "Cover Your Eyes"), where (a) 
nobody ever drives slower than 65 
miles per hour, including inside park- 
ing garages, and (b) at night, many 
motorists drive with their headlights 
off, because -- a taxi driver told me 
this, and he was absolutely serious -- 




this extends the life of your bulbs. 
(When he told me this, we were in a 
major traffic jam caused by an acci- 
dent involving a truck and a horse.) 

I have also ridden on a bus in 
China, plowing through humongous 
traffic snarls involving trucks, cars, 
bicycles, ox-drawn carts and pedestri- 
ans, all aggressively vying for the 



same space, and where the bus driver 
would sometimes physically push 
pedestrians out of the way. I don't 
mean with his hands. I mean with the 
BUS. 

My point is that I have seen plenty 
of insane driving techniques, and I am 
telling you for a fact that no place 
brings so many of these techniques 
together as Miami, where a stop sign 
has no more legal significance to 
most motorists than a mailbox. 

The police down here have given up 
on enforcing the traffic laws. If they 
stop you and find a human corpse in 
your trunk, they'll let you off with a 
warning, if it's your first one. 

So I've seen pretty much everything 
on the roads here. Nevertheless, I was 
surprised by the driver on the inter- 
state the other night. 

I heard him before I saw him, 
because his car had one of those 
extremely powerful sound systems, in 
which the bass notes sound like 
nuclear devices being detonated in 
rhythm. So I looked in the mirror and 
saw a large convertible with the top 
down overtaking me at maybe 600 
miles per hour. 

I would have tried to get out of his 
path, but there was no way to know 
what his path was, since he was weav- 
ing back and forth across five lanes 
(out of a possible three). 

Fortunately, he missed me, and as 
he went past, I got a clear view of 



why he was driving so erratically: He 
was watching a music video. He was 
watching it on a video screen that had 
been installed where the sun visor 
usually goes, RIGHT IN FRONT OF 
HIS FACE, blocking his view of the 
road. 

I don't want sound like an old fud, 
but this seems to me to be just a tad 
hazardous. 

I distinctly recall learning in 
Drivers Education class that, to oper- 
ate a car, you need to be able to see 
where the car is going, in case the 
need arises (You never know!) to 
steer. 

Of course, more and more, drivers 
do not have time for steering, as they 
are busy making phone calls, eating, 
reading, changing CDs, putting on 
makeup, brushing their teeth, etc. 

I recently received mail from an 
alert reader named Kate Chadwick 
who reports that she drove behind a 
man who was shaving his head, with 
his "visor mirror positioned just so, 
windows wide open for hair disposal, 
and for a significant portion of the 
ride, no hands on the wheel." 

But at least these drivers are able, 
from time to time, to glance at the 
road. 

Whereas the guy I saw on 1-95 basi- 
cally could see only his video. I hope 
you agree with me that this is insane. 

I also hope you are not reading this 
in your car. 



Farm Aid Concert for farmers, 
from Page 8. 

band's new album and stirred 
the audience and prepared 
them for John Mellencamp, 
who is a main performer every 
year in Farm Aid. 

His folkstyle music is much 
appreciated by fans and the 
tune "Pink Houses" brought 
tears to many that felt the 
lyrics to the song. 

Mellencamp played a few of 
his hits for the benefit concert 
and cleared the stage for bril- 



liant songwriter Neil Young. 
The crowd and Neil seemed to 
be in sync, with his lyrics sung 
right back to him during such 
songs as "Harvest Moon" and 
"Heart of Gold." 

Neil Young is also a regular 
performer at the Farm Aid 
event and speaks passionately 
for its cause. 

He told the audience that it 
was important to stop factory 
farming in order to take care 
of themselves as well as fami- 
ly farmers and to buy food that 
is grown naturally. 



Willie Nelson is the founder 
of Farm Aid and has held sev- 
enteen benefits to date. 

He graced the stage last, 
joined by guests and friends, 
for a soothing version of 
"America the Beautiful." 

Nelson played his classics 
like "On the Road Again," 
"You Were Always On My 
Mind" and "Whiskey River" 
in true Willie style with his 
guitar and bandanna. 

Willie Nelson played just 
about every song he is famous 
for and showed his fans an 



amazing concert. 

Each of these performers 
brought their own styJe and 
music, but they each stood for 
the same reason for being 
there that day: protecting fam- 
ily farmers and the environ- 
ment. 

Farm Aid's main message 
was for people to know where 
their food is coming from, 
how it was made and the 
ingredients that come along 
with it. 

Organizers of the event say 
that people are oblivious to 



the fact that some food is not 
healthy or safe. 

The concert raised thousands 
of dollars and will continue to 
do so every year. 

Pennsylvania was lucky to 
host this wonderful event and 
all of its amazing artists that 
performed their awesome 
music!

ENTERTAfNMENT 





1 " I 1 & by Stan Waling 



Today's Birthday (Sept. 26). The time for your fling is 
getting closer. Next spring could be your magical time. Make 
your plans in advance, then fly wild and free in early June. Late 
May would work, too. 

To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the 
easiest day, the most challenging. 

Aries (March 21- April 19) - Today is a 7 - Nobody but you 
can put a lid on your talent. Nobody but you can give up on your 
dreams. Don't quit. You're about to break through. 

Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 7 - Your stall tac- 
tics may have almost worked by now. You're close to reaching 
your goal. The job is still hard, but the rewards will be to your 
liking, and they're coming soon. 

Gemini (May 21- June 21) - Today is a 7 - Take care of 
those last few odds and ends involving the project you're work- 
ing on. Be prepared to pounce on a fabulous deal. It comes quick- 
ly and doesn't last long. 

Cancer (June 2 2- July 22) - Today is a 6 - It's almost time 
to take action and fix up your home the way you want it. Keep 
checking the ads so that you know where to go for the best 
stuff. Ask your friends for advice and for help if you must. You 
can finish the job by Sunday. 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 6 - A problem that has 
you baffled can be solved, but perhaps not by you. An older 
friend gives you the answer, so let them all know what you need. 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 6 - Better get 
things into order before the interrogation. The more items you 
have checked off your list, the better you'll look to The Boss. 
This isn't a meaningless exercise. You could earn a lovely reward. 

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is an 8 - Tomorrow is a 
great day to travel, and Saturday is pretty good, too. If you fin- 
ish your work, you might earn an early release. 

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is a 6 - The money that 
you've been seeking could become available soon. Discuss the 
best way to spend it. 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is an 8 - You'll soon 
finish a difficult task, so come up with a reward. Dancing? A long 
walk? A visit with friends? A new partnership could emerge. 

Capricorn (Dec. 2 2- Jan. 19) - Today is a 7 - Make a con- 
nection with someone who inspires you to succeed. Then, set a 
goal that's always been too big. You'll have superhuman powers 
from now through Saturday. Might as well do something awesome 
while you can. 

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 6 - After an initial 
setback, your intentions should succeed. Friday and Saturday 
should be just great for travel or visiting friends. Those are also 
good days for launching new projects. 

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 6 - Continue to 
investigate your suspicions about domestic matters. Did a family 
member follow through on a promise? It's OK to offer a 
reminder. Your suggestion could make the difference.

Lady Eagles pull through in front of home crowd 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

An eager crowd filled Tippin 
Gymnasium Tuesday night to 
check out the 2002-03 edition 
of the Clarion University 
Womens Volleyball team as 
they took on Lock Haven in 
PSAC play. 

The Lady Eagles have been 
off to an incredible run so far 
this season. They are current- 
ly 9-1 overall and 1-1 in the 
PSAC. They are off to the best 
start since the 70's. 

Clarion was ready to come 
out strong and bounce back 
from a dissappointing loss to 
IUP last week. They were also 
ready to play on their home- 
court for the first time this 
season. 

"It is always nice to play at 
home. We had a great turnout 
and by playing at home you 
always have an advantage," 
said Head Coach Tracy 
Fluharty. 

The Lady Eagles had no 
problem taking care of Lock 



Haven as they locked in the 
victory in just three matches; 
30-20, 30-25, and 30-21. It 
was a good win for Clarion 
after the IUP loss and especial- 
ly to win in front of the home 
crowd. 

"It is always great to bounce 
back from a loss, " said 
Fluharty. "However, I have all 
the confidence in the world in 
my team and to fight back 
after a los is just a small chal- 
lenge for the team." 

Leaders for the night were 
Jackie Hill with 45 assists and 
one dig, Melanie Bull with 
thirteen kills and sixteen digs, 
Laurie Hepler with twelve 
digs, and Sara Heyl with 
twelve kills and five digs. 

Bull and Hepler played great 
defense for the Golden Eagles 
while Heyl had a solid game 
on both the defensive and 
offensive sides. 

The team also had strong 
serve receive and blocking. 
They improved on their serv- 
ing which was a strong point 
and improvement from the last

Women's Rugby hosts WVU Women 's x c places 3rd at 



by Ashley Good 
Clarion Call SportsWriter 



The Clarion Taffurs Women's Rugby team 
suffered their first loss of the season Saturday 
against West Virginia University. 

WVU began the scoring early in the first 
half going up 5-0. The Mountaineers man- 
aged to keep the Lady Eagle offense pinned 
down in their own territory for much of the 
first half. 

Despite a few long runs in the second half 
by 8-man Karen Pentz and Outside Center 
Becky Kukla, the Clarion women were unable 
to organize a solid drive the entire match. 
Mistakes and penalties kept the Clarion 
offense scoreless for the first time in over one 
year. B-side also suffered a 10-0 loss. 

"It was not a good day for our club. We could 
not have made any more mistakes or taken any 
more penalties to help the opposition win the 
match, a loss like this is a major shot to our 
team pride. However, sometimes this type of 
loss will help a team get refocused and moti- 
vated on what they need to do every week to 
win rugby matches," said Coach Brian Frank. 
The Clarion Women's Rugby team will now 
look forward to starting their Midwest 
Division I schedule this weekend when Ohio 
State University comes to town. The match 
will be played on Sunday at the Shippenville

The Clarion Women's Rugby team fights hard 
against WVU this past Saturday. 

community park at 1 p.m. Clarion's Women's 
B-Sideteam will be playing Grove City 
College immediately following the OSU 
match. 



Although the Clarion University Men's and Women's Cross 
Country team did not finish at the top in the IUP Invitational on 
Saturday, they do have a lot to celebrate, especially on the 
women's side. 

The Lady Eagles have moved up in the national rankings to 
18th, which is up three places from the previous rank at 21st, 
and hold the second spot in the Eastern Regional ranks. 

"This is the highest we have ver been and we are very proud 
of out girls and excited about their accomplishments," said 
Head Coach Pat Mooney. 

The women placed third in the meet with a score of sixty 
points. Leading the way for Clarion was Anna Beck who fin- 
ished 6th, Melissa Terwilliger who finished 8th, and rounding 
out the top five was Jennifer Boerner, Katie Jarzab, and Bridget 
Sardo, placing 12th, 16th, and 18th respectively. 

The men's side did not fare as well as the women did at the 
meet. They continue to battle with injuries, illnesses and lack 
of collegiate experience with six freshmen runners. 

There top runner is red shirted this season and they lost six 
valuable seniors. Coach Mooney is very confident in the men's 
team and with patience and practice, they will only get stronger 
as a whole and indivdually.Matt Hartsock placed 21st for the 
Eagles and Chris Noal and A.J. Mayernik followed shortly 
behind placing 29th and 35th. 

Both the men's and women's team will travel to Duquesne 
University this Saturday to compete

Goal setting is a custom of 
nearly every type of athlete or 
team at the beginning of each 
season. Most participants find 
that in doing this, they create a 
virtual image of what they want 
to eventually obtain. 

Whether or not they reach or 
exceed their expectations is up 
to them, but the process of goal 
setting allows each performer to 
set their own personal objec- 
tives. 

Last Friday just happened to 
be my personal goal-setting ses- 
sion between Coach VanDyke, 
Coach Tillotson, and myself in 
order to discuss all of our 
expectations for this season. 

A third year veteran, of this 
type of meeting, I already pre- 
pared a mental list of everything 
that I expected of myself and 
from my coaches. Fortunately, 
after years of falling short of my 
expectations, I have finally 
learned how to set and achieve 
my desired goals. But not every- 
one has such an easy time when 
attempting this process. 

Over the years, I have discov- 
ered that many athletes flinch or 
worry when asked to create a 
list of season objectives. Many 
worry that if they fall short of 
these goals, their teammates and 
coaches will view them differ- 
ently. 

From past experiences, I can 
relate to that feeling of failure, 
but I can also correlate the feel- 
ing of success. live always been 
an avid believer of balance, and 
to this day I trust that without 
ultimate failure, one cannot 
achieve ultimate success. So, 



perhaps falling short of some 
goals is, in fact, the only way 
we learn to accomplish others. 

Another problem that many 
athletes encounter when asked 
to list their goals, is a feeling of 
added pressure. I personally 
know several athletes who feel 
as if they cannot set goals due to 
this stress. In my own experi- 
ence with this feeling, I do 
believe that individual athletes 
are their own worst critics. 

This brings me back to my 
first taper meet of the 2001-02 
season. I knew that I possessed 
the capability to smash my per- 
sonal record, but because of the 
enormous amount of pressure I 
placed upon myself, I buckled 
the race. Since then, live 
learned that a little bit of pres- 
sure helps us reach our expecta- 
tions, but too much stress 
reverses the process. 

It has taken nearly eleven 
years for me to figure out how 
set a seemingly unattainable 
goal and reach it. During that 
time, I have formulated a few 
techniques to aid me in the 
process: 

Set a goal that is difficult, but 
possible to achieve. If a goal 
seems impossible to some, but 
you know in your heart that you 
can do it, go for it. 

Share- your objectives with 
coaches or teammates. They 
will be the ones to push you to 
your limits when you feel like 
backing down. 

Train every practice as if it 
were your last. Go the extra 
mile. Put in just 15 minutes 
more than what is required 
every day. Just think about how 
those minutes will add up and 
pay off in the end. 

Always believe in yourself and 
your coaches. You know you 
can do it, and so do they. 

Just remember that setting and 
reaching our athletic goals, 
helps us learn many valuable 
life lessons. Never be afraid to 
lose, for then you fear winning. 

We live and learn through our 
accomplishments and defeats, 
and without the pain of disap- 
pointment, we cannot appreciate 
the triumph of success. Push 
yourself to your own personal 
limits everyday, and watch how 
quickly the red carpet unwinds.

Both teams played through- 
out the game at an even level, 
however, Kutztown scored in 
the eighty-seventh minute of 
regulation time to clinch the 
victory. 

"It was a tough loss to over- 
come," said Head Coach Nina 
Alonzo. "The game came 
down to the wire and to be in 
it till the very end and then 
lose it, is tough," she added. 

Clarion and Kutztown both 
had an equal twenty shots on 
goal. Sophmore goalkeeper 
Christina Gattens had eighteen 



saves on the day for the Lady 
Eagles even after sustaining a 
fractured finger. 

A few key players were 
benched the first half of the 
game, but luckily Clarion's 
bench really stepped up and 
played well for them. 

Freshmen forward Melissa 
Alonzo had seven shots on 
goal, and freshmen Jessie 
Zahner had four shots on goal. 

"We should have won the 
game," said Captain Marianna 
Reino. "It is hard to get a goal 
back in the last minutes of the 
game and I think once they 
scored the goal, the team's 
intensity dropped," she added. 

Coach Alonzo said that the 
ladies were very motivated 
and confident in this game. 
Everyone gave it their all but 
just came up two minutes 
short of the win. 
"I thought the team did well

Clarion rushed for a single 
game record of J 19 yards and 
tailback Robert Walker rushed 
for a single game record of 5 
touchdowns as the Golden 
Eagles defeated Glenville 
State Saturday 59-38 at 
Memorial Stadium. 

A Family Day crowd of 
5,000, who also came to honor 
Clarion's undefeated 1952 
football team that defeated 
East Carolina 13-6 in the Lions 
Bowl, saw a pigskin slugfest. 

Fourteen touchdowns and 
992 yards of combined total 
offense had the crowd on the 
edge of its seat throughout the 
game. Clarion raised its overall 
record to 2-1 on the young sea- 
son, while Glenville dropped 
to 1-2. 

Clarion rushed 68-times for 
519 yards Saturday, breaking 
the old team record of 443 
yards against Lock Haven in 
2000. Walker's five touch- 
downs broke a team record of 
four held by Walker (in 2001 
vs Kutztown) and four other 
Golden Eagles dating back to 
1965. 



Brandon Sweeney opened the 
Clarion scoring with a 26-yard 
run with 7:13 left in the first 
quarter and the Eagles led 7-0. 

Walker then bolted 50-yards 
with only 35-seconds left in 
the first and Clarion led 14-0. 
Glenville QB Joey Conrad, 
who passed for 394 yards on 
the day, scored the Pioneers 
first touchdown on a 17-yard 
run with 12:07 left in the first 
and Clarion led 14-6. 

Walker countered on 
Clarion's next possession with 
an 18-yard scoring run, cap- 
ping a 65-yard, six play drive. 
The point after failed and 
Clarion led 20-6 at 9:50 of the 
second quarter. 

Glenville came right back 
and scored on an 18-yard pass 
from Conrad to Antonio 
Carter. The PAT failed and 
Clarion led 20-12. 

The Eagles scored with 1:44 
left in the second on a Walker 
1-yard run and Clarion held a 
27-12 halftime lead. 

Glenville opened the second 
half with a 65-yard td pass 
from Conrad to Toby Murray.

goal at 13:11 of the fourth giv- 
ing the Eagles a 38-24 advan- 
tage, but Glenville came back 
to narrow the lead to only 6 
(38-32). Pioneer QB Joey 
Conrad fired a 50-yard td pass 
to Tommie Murray, then con- 
nected on a two-point conver- 
sion pass to Antonio Carter. 

Clarion put the game away 
later in the fourth quarter when 
Brandon Sweeney scored on an 
eight yard run at 6:24, then 
Walker notched his fifth rush- 
ing touchdown on a 12-yard 
scamper. The touchdowns gave 
Clarion a 52-32 lead. 

Clarion finished the scoring 
on a 39-yard run by backup QB 
Frantz Charles with 1:34 to 
play.

561 yards of total offense in 
the game, including 519 rush-

Autumn Leaf Festival to begin 



by Matthew T. May 
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor 

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••i 

When the trees begin exploding 
with reds and oranges, it is time 
for the fun to begin in Clarion. 

Soon concession stands and 
carnival attractions will fill the 
streets as Clarion's international 
award-winning Autumn Leaf 
Festival begins as well as 
Clarion University's 

Homecoming. 

The 49th annual Autumn Leaf 
Festival is scheduled to begin 
Saturday, Oct. 5 and runs 



through Sunday, Oct. 13. 

ALF, as the festival is com- 
monly called, is the highlight of 
Clarion's year featuring numer- 
ous activities and events for all 
ages. Throughout the week-long 
festival, concession stands and 
carnival rides line the streets to 
the delight of locals and visitors. 
The Executive Director of the 
Clarion County Chamber of 
Business and Industry, Gale 
Owen, said, "There won't be a 
lot of differences (from previous 
years). We've added a few more 
sponsors this year, and we are 



also having the Autumn Leaf 
Festival Dance, which we 
haven't had in a few years. But 
overall not many changes." 

This is Owen's second year as 
executive director. She has been 
involved with ALF for 10 years. 

According to the ALF website, 
the festival has attracted between 
250,000 and 300,000 people to 
the Clarion area for the festivi- 
ties in the past. Many of these 
people are friends and family of 
Clarion County residents and 
students of Clarion University.

More than 5,000 volunteers 
work throughout the year to 
bring the festival together. 

Unique events and activities 
will be occurring for the entire 
week to entertain all who want to 
enjoy the festival. 

Perhaps the biggest event of 
ALF happens on Saturday, Oct 
12 with the Autumn Leaf 
Festival Parade marching down 
Main Street at noon. The streets 
are normally lined hours before 
the parade even begins. 

A tradition and favorite of the 
parade are colorful floats built by 
members of student organiza- 
tions from Clarion University. 

Designing and building the 
floats takes much dedication and 
time by the members of these 
organization. 

Valerie Sudar, a junior 
Elementary Education major at 
Clarion University and member 
of Deta Phi Epsilon, said, 
"Building the float is a good 
opportunity to hang out with my 
sisters and get to know the new 
members a little better." 

The parade also features proud 
local marching bands, talented 
color guard teams, novelty 
groups, and the Homecoming 
Court. 

This year's Homecoming Court 
includes the following Clarion 
University Students: 
Freshmen 

*Melinda Asbury and Ian 
Hurbanek 

*Nicole Emshwiller and Nick 
Russo 

Sophomores 

*Rebecca Delaney and Nate

Real estate class gets hands on experience 



by Ethan Pascoe 
Ctoripn Call Staff Writer 

Students of Dr. Jerry 
Belloit's Real Estate 

Appraisal 470 class began a 
project on Sept. 6 that gave 
them some real life experience 
in the real estate field - they 
appraised their professor's 
house. 

As part of a project each 
semester, Belloit has his real 
estate students examine, mea- 
sure and appraise a house in 
the Clarion area. Now his own 
house served as the model for 
the class. 



Projects like this 
help make a connection 
between theory and 
practice, and the stu- 
dents like that. 99 

-Jerry Belloit 



The focus of the project is to 
give students some practical 
experience in real estate 
appraisal before they enter the 
workforce. 

"All my classes have similar 
experiences with hands on 
work, which is often more 
valuable to the students than 
lecture," said Belloit. 
"Projects like this help make a 
connection between theory 



and practice and the students 
like that." 

All 20 students in the class 
were on hand to appraise the 
value of the house. 

This process included mea- 
suring the property as well as 
the house, counting rooms, 
recording any appliances and 
mechanical systems (heating, 
air conditioning) and calculat- 
ing depreciation of these 
items and for the house as a 
whole. 

"This project as a whole 
accounts for a major part of 
the students' grade," said 
Belloit. 

"I do, however, allow the 
students to submit the project 
in pieces. When they turn in 
their report, I do an initial 
check over it and allow the 
students to make corrections 
and later resubmit the report. 
I'd rather they make the mis- 
takes now than when they 
have their job." 

Overall, Belloit's students 
seem to respond well to the 
challenge. 

Senior Real Estate major 
Rob Ford participated in the 
project. 

"We appreciate Dr. Belloit's 
efforts to give us hands on 
experience in his classes," 
said Ford. 

"Projects like this help give 
me a better understanding of 
work in my field. For this rea- 
son, I feel that Dr. Belloit is 



one of the most effective busi- 
ness professors I've had." 

Ryan Leppo, a junior real 
estate/finance major, called 
the project "a better way to 
learn." 

"The class responded well 
and had a lot of fun with the 
appraisal," said Leppo. "This 
project is interesting, exciting 



I feel that Dr. 
Belloit is one of the 
most effective business 
professors I've had. 99 

-Rob Ford 



and extremely helpful to 
majors in real estate. It's a 
great experience to take part 
in hands on learning." 

Belloit says that he's had 
great success with projects 
like this is in the past, and he 
plans to continue this method 
of instruction in the future. 

"I consider the project to be 
an overall worthwhile endeav- 
or, and I think my students 
agree," said Belloit. 

"Typically, my real estate 
majors do very well financial- 
ly after graduation. Projects 
such as this give them good 
experience and really help to 
prepare them for their 
careers."

Weekend initiative program finds new home 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Student Senate voted Monday 
to turn responsibility of the 
Weekend Initiative program over 
to the University Activities Board 
in a vote of 20-0-0. 

Student Senate was in charge of 
the program last semester and the 
beginning of this semester. 

Student Senate President Mike 
Phillips saids more success will 
occur now that U.A.B. has con- 
trol of the program. 

"The program is a good idea," 
said Phillips. "We're not giving 
up on it, we'll have much more 
success this way." 

The Weekend Initiative pro- 
gram began last spring as a way 
to keep more students on campus 
during weekends. 

The Pennsylvania Liquor 
Enforcement Agency gave 
Clarion University a $15,000 
grant last year and again this 
year. 

A small portion of the grant 
went toward the Weekend 
Initiative program with the hope 
of giving students something else 
to do besides consume alcohol. 

All organizations that were 
CS A funded had to sponsor a pro- 
gram one weekend per semester 
or have their funds frozen. 

Organizations such as TU Cfar/t* 
CaM hosted a card night, Interhall 
Council sponsored a karaoke 
night and the Terra club showed a 
geography slide show. Still, many 
students traveled home. 

"After a semester of doing the 
program we didn't get a positive 
feedback from organizations," 
said Phillips. 

Weekend programs were 
planned again this semester by 
organizations, however since the 
program is in the U.A.B's hands 
now, organizations will not be 
expected to complete their pro- 
grams nor will their funds be 
frozen. 

"We felt they [U.A.B.] should 



be more responsible for program- 
ming over the weekend," said 
Student Senate Vice President 
Jackie Collier. 

Assistant Director of Campus 
Life Jamie Bero is excited to be 
involved with the Weekend 
Initiative program. 

"I think it's great," said Bero. 
"We're U.A.B. , programming is 
what we do." 

U.A.B. will also be sending 
Gaby Randall, a sophomore com- 
munication major, to a confer- 
ence in Penn State that deals with 
weekend programming. 

Joining Randall will be Senator 
Jennifer Reis and newly elected 
freshman senator Ashley Walker. 

The conference will be held 
Oct. 24-26. 



We 're not giving up 
on it, we '11 have much 
more success this 
way. 99 

-Mike Phillips 




Ben Chandlee/Clarion Call 
Student Senate voted to hand the Weekend Initiative program over to the University 
Activities Board at Monday night's Student Senate meeting 



According to Bero, this year's 
programs will be "much more 
hands on. 

Future U.A.B. activities include 
a tailgate party on Nov. 2 at the 
stadium starting at 1 1 a.m., and a 
murder mystery dinner called 
"Pasta, Passion and Pistols," 
which will be held Nov. 16 at 
5:30 p.m. in the Gemmell Multi- 
purpose room. 

Also discussed at the meeting 
was the new technology fee. 

Mr. Joseph Grunenwald, 
provost and academic vice presi- 
dent, explained to Senators the 
guidelines about how the money 
should be spent. 

The total revenue collected 
from the technology fee is 
$600,000. 

Each student paid an activity 
fee this year. The amount of the 
fee depends on such things as 



how many credit hours students 
are enrolled in and whether or not 
the student lives on campus. 

The technology fee revenue 
may be spent on general-use, spe- 
cialized and experimental student 
computer laboratories, special- 
ized software, hardware and data- 
bases. 

Grunenwald reminded Senators 
that the revenue does not only 
have to fund the above items, but 
to think of other items that would 
be beneficial to students. 

"The money needs to be 
expended directly to student 
learning," said Grunenwald. 

The money can not be spent on 
technologies for use by non-stu- 
dents, capital projects, furniture, 
carpentry, renovations, or person- 
nel. 

Student Senate wants to hear 
students' opinions on what the 
money should be used for. 

Students can stop by the 
Student Senate office with any 
ideas they may have. 



Ideas should be brought to 
Senate by Friday, Oct. 11. 

Student Senate also voted (20- 
0-0) to allocate $773.00 from the 
supplemental account to the 
American Marketing 

Association.

Students participate in Saturday Service Day 



by Lisa Covington 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

What were you doing last 
Saturday, Sept. 28? While 
some of you went home for the 
weekend, traveled to 

Pittsburgh, or sat in your room 
all day, many students were 
volunteering at the Saturday 
Service Day. 

Saturday Service Days take 
place each semester and have 
done so for at least seven 
years. 

Students involved participate 
in several activities in which 
they take some or all of their 
Saturday to volunteer in the 
Clarion area. 

Some of the locations include 
Clarion County park, Stop 
Abuse for Everyone (S.A.F.E.) 
and the Beverly Health Center. 
Bob Majewski, a junior 
information systems student, 
participated in the event. 

Majewski was a team leader 
for the Parker Heights Senior 
Center location in which he 
and several others provided 
computer lessons for senior 
citizens. 

"It was a great accomplish- 
ment to teach the elderly and it 
was a great way to serve," said 
Majewski. 

One of the co-coordinators of 
the Saturday Service Day was 
Senior Marketing major, 



Maura Kudis. 

Kudis helped organize and 
recruit team leaders during 
August. 

Team leaders had the respon- 
sibility of being the contact 
between Kudis and the particu- 
lar location in which students 
were participating. 

Most team leaders were pre- 
vious volunteers who enjoyed 
participating in the event. 

Students who participated 
this year were enthusiastic and 
very active in their role as a 
volunteer on this day said 
Kudis. 



It was a great 

accomplishment to 

teach the elderly and it 

was a great way to 

serve. §9 

-Bob Majewski 



Kudis added that students 
seem to come to the event on 
their own without that much 
publicity because they look 
forward to the opportunity to 
help the Clarion community. 

Rebekah Silberg, a junior 
psychology major, volunteered 
at the Clarion County Humane 
Society. 

"I love animals and I love 
volunteering," said Silberg.

"People think community ser- 
vice only deals with people, 
but animals are a big part too." 
Kudis began planning the 
event with Co-coordinator 
Laura King, a secondary edu- 
cation/communication arts 
major, during May of this year. 
It's a good opportunity to 
feel good about yourself 
because you learn a lot about 
yourself and others in the com- 
munity," said Kudis. 

Director of Community 
Service Diana Brush, praises 
Kudis and King for their deter- 
mination and their pursuit to 
make this year's event a suc- 
cess. 

More than 500 hours were 
volunteered on Saturday said 
Brush. 

"Register with us to identify 
your service interest so we can 
find something you may want 
to commit to on a continual 
basis," said Brush. 

Individuals who didn't vol- 
unteer on Saturday still have 
the opportunity to do so 
throughout the year. 

Students, faculty and organi- 
zations can register at the 
Community Service Learning 
web site at http://www.dari- 
on.edu/student/studentaffairs/c 
sl/cslhome.shtml. 

Students can also register at 
the Community Service 
Learning office in 247

Gemmell. When registering, 
students are asked a few simple 
questions about what areas 
they would like to volunteer. 

Once registered, students 
will receive a monthly newslet- 
ter about various volunteer 
opportunities and have easy 
access to the service directo- 
ries, which have opportunities 
listed by interest/major. 

There are more than 100 
agencies in which the 
Community Service-Learning 
office can provide volunteers 
all year round. 

Some agencies include Big 
Brothers/Big Sisters, Penn 
State Cooperative Extension, 



Muscular Dystrophy 

Association and Community 
Action Inc. among numerous 
others. 

A popular upcoming event 
will be during Winter break 
(the last week in February). 

Students will travel to New 
York and Philadelphia to vol- 
unteer all week. 

More information can be pro- 
vided at the Community 
Service-Learning office. 

"Even if you have one hour 
to spare, volunteering can pro- 
vide professional references, 
internships or jobs, which has 
happened for students in the 
past," said Brush.

Clarion County for the month of October. Fall is upon us and the holidays

Clarion graduate speaks to web design class 



by Amy Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

Kuumba Rashidi, a 1990 
graduate of Clarion 

University's communication 
master's program, came to Dr. 
Scott Kuehn's undergraduate 
web design class to talk with 
students about not only world- 



wide web issues but to inspire 
students to do "more than what 
you may realize." 

Rashidi, who changed his 
name from Ron Hatcher for 
cultural reasons, told the class 
they shouldn't be ashamed to 
ask questions and they ought 
to have a "parasitic mentality." 



"You have a gold mine sit- 
ting right next to you," 
Rashidi explained. 

Rashidi said if a class mem- 
ber understands something you 
don't, don't be ashamed to ask 
that person for assistance. 

He also told the students the 
time spent at Clarion may be

the best time to make contacts. 
"Be the best you can be," 
Rashidi said. 

Rashidi told the students he 
grew up poor in Georgia. 

"Nobody gave it to me," he 
said. 

Rashidi said in order to be 
the best you can be, you must 
perform tasks and work with 
passion. 

"Find out that which you 
really want to do," he said. 

For Rashidi, his passion lies 
in the worldwide web. Rashidi 
now works as a senior instruc- 
tional designer, 
mutimedia/web and video pro- 
ducer for SBC Pacific Bell, 
and owns and operates 
Creative Arts Works Video 
Productions, an independent 
video production and multime- 
dia company. 

Rashidi took time to answer 
every question asked by the 
students. 

Students were curious about 
pay rates for web designers. 

Rashidi told the students 
how much you make depends 
upon you, the designer, and 



what the client wants. 

Rashidi also warned them 
against criticizing someone 
like Bill Gates for having 
money. Rashidi said Gates 
made money because he 
worked hard. 

"Nerds run the world. Don't 
laugh at them," he quipped. 

Students were also curious 
about the future the web. 

"The web is going wherever 
you can take it," he said. 

One student asked what 
kind of training is available on 
the job and how much web 
knowledge is expected before 
going into a position. 

"If you don't learn anything 
else, learn the basics of html," 
he responded. 

He also reassured them that 
some training is normally 
available on the job. Rashidi 
advised them to be able to 
demonstrate talent and "Be 
confident in your abilities." 

He also encouraged the stu- 
dents to "give reverence where 
it belongs." 

"Clarion prepared me for 
where I am," he said. 



FOODSTOCK is a 24-hour event to col- 
lect unexpired non-perishable food 
items. This year it will be held from Oct. 
4 at 5 p.m. to Oct. 5 at 5 p.m. The food 
dropoff point is between the corner of 
Fifth Avenue and Main Street. All collect- 
ed food will be distributed among food 
banks in Clarion County. Four years 
ago, the first FOODSTOCK event had 

collected 37,540 
non-perishable 
food items, which 
earned a spot in 
the Guinness 
Book of World 
Record for collect- 
ing the most 
amount of food in a 24-hour period. 
Individuals and organizations are 
encouraged to collect food and drop it 
off at the designated times.

may be directed to Rachael at Keystone

The (!mp/dn fait 



October 3, 2002 




As compared to 
previous years, 
the general attitude 

of the entire 
student body seems 
much improved. 99 

■Bethany Bankovich 



Editor fa£ § Betkany> uat&ov'icri 



Ch-ch-ch-changes! Everywhere 
I look there seems to be some- 
thing new popping up around the 
campus and community. Whether 
it's structural, political, actual or 
factual, alterations are in every 
direction. 

The most prominent adjustment 
that I have noticed is within the 
student body itself. I'm talking 
about attitudes, folks. And I mean 
it when I say that the attitude of 
nearly the entire student body 
seems a little on the lighter side. 
Am I hallucinating? Perhaps, 
but I do believe that I possess a 
keen ability to read others, and 
what I'm reading sure is better 
than it has been in previous years. 

So, how did I arrive at this actu- 



alization? The answer to that, 
simply stated, is this: I count the 
number of smiles I encounter dur- 
ing a day. 

You can do this too, and take it 
one step futher. Record the num- 
ber of times somebody says hello, 
holds open a door, or waves to 
you from across campus. More 
and more I'm noticing these little 
acts of kindness, and I like it, I 
like a lot! 

As compared to previous years, 
the general attitude of the entire 
student body seems much 
improved. I can recall times when 
it appeared as if not a soul in 
Clarion possessed any joy what- 
soever. So many students just 
bustled to class, without mum- 



QptAI/DN 

bling even the slightest greeting 
to anyone. People would cut their 
peers off on their way into 
Chandler, other buildings, and 
even classrooms! Perhaps this 
sounds cliche, but misery loves 
company, and soon everyone 
seemed down. 

So, now the question of why 
comes into the picture. If we hap- 
pened to attend school in a tropi- 
cal, inviting climate, I would 
blame it on the weather. But this 
is Clarion, typically blessed with 
clouds, cold fronts and rain 
spells, so the two just wouldn't 
connect. 

Honestly, I believe this fresh 
outlook is attributed to a combi- 
nation of a new academic semes- 
ter and optimistic views of the 
upperclassmen. More and more 
students join the bandwagon of 
responsibility and success every- 
day and their images provide 
guidelines for all to follow. 

So, where exactly have I viewed 
the most significant changes? The 
most noticeable difference I've 
witnessed appears within the 
junior and senior classes, for they 
lead the remainder of the student 
body primarily through example. 

If they display acts of courtesy 
and positive attitudes, others will 
follow their model. These posi- 
tive displays have trickled all the 
way down through the classes,

we women have come to believe 
we need to strive for physical per- 
fection - even at the cost of sensi- 
bility and physical comfort. 

And it's not just the underwear 
industry that's restricting us. (No 
pun intended.) 

How about mini-skirts, maxi- 
skirts, midi-skirts, wrap-around 
skirts, split skirts, peasant skirts, 
pleated skirts and the list goes on. 

Then there's the top part of the/ 
female anatomy to cover. Over 
the years, we've worn peasant 
blouses, "belly blouses," tube 
tops, scarf-tie-tops, dropped- 
sleeve tops, poor boy tops, an i 
Heaven-knows-what-else tops. ! 

A female who strives to be fasr - 
ion conscious has to use up a let 
of brain power just deciding what 
to wear that day. 

On the opposite side of th ) 
spectrum is the male populatio i 
who has to decide whether t > 
wear a suit and tie, shirt and pants 
or tee-shirt and shorts. 

Okay, so there was that leisure 
suit thing in the 1970s, but that 
was just a fluke triggered by 
Saturday Night Fever. No wonder

Call On You 

How are you going to soak up the final days of nice weather at C.U.P.?

Editorial) Circulation manager discovers a new attitude, 
from Page 6. 



even into the typically intimidated 
freshmen. 

Where else have I noticed an 
attitude change? One totally 
shocking difference that caught 
me off guard is the attendance rate 
in my early classes. 

Nearly all of my 8 and 9 a.m. 
classes could be considered dull, 
but to my disbelief, nearly every 
student comes to class, prepared 
nonetheless! 

Considering the fact that I have 
witnessed practically empty 
morning classes, this proves that 



students possess a better outlook 
on attendance in general. 

Lastly, the main difference in 
attitude can be viewed directly 
from the master of complaints, 
me! I always have something to 
whine about, but lately I cannot 
pinpoint anything that frazzles 
me. Well, at least not anything 
worth complaining about. I've 
found this whole new attitude 
thing extremely contagious, so be 
sure to spread the bug.

it was Mr. Einstein who invented 
the Theory of Relativity. Mrs. 
Einstein was probably busy figur- 
ing out what to wear to the wives 
of geniuses' luncheon while he 
had time to sit around and think 
about other stuff. 

If you think I'm off-base with 
my fashion conspiracy theory, 
here's the smoking gun, high- 
heels. 

Consider this scenario: Ralph 
goes into a shoe store to buy a 
pair of steel toed work boots. 
Carl, the shoe salesman, says, 
"Ralph, we've just received a 
shipment of Gucci heels to die for 
in size 13 that will fit your foot 
like a kid glove. Here, let me slip 
this on. Yes, the three inch heel 
will tilt your foot forward and all 
your toes will mash into the 
pointy front, eventually disfigur- 
ing them. You will risk having 
your ankles turn over and getting 
the stiletto heel tip caught in 
cracks in the pavement, causing 
you to do a header into the con- 
crete , but your calves will look so 
shapely." 

It's a safe bet Ralph will leave 
the store with just the steel toed 
boots.

Gary Tuerack motivates Clarion students 



by Jeanette Good 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

What makes someone suc- 
cessful? Who is successful 
enough to rate the success of 
another? 

"A man is a success if he 
gets up in che morning and 
gets to bed at night, and in 
between he does what he 
wants to do," Bob Dylan once 
said. 

This idea was clearly behind 
the visit Gary Tuerack paid to 
Clarion University at 8 p.m. 
on Wednesday, Sept, 25, 2002. 
He spoke in the Marwick- 
Boyd Auditorium about "On 
the Edge: Living Life with No 
Excuses," a program geared 
toward motivating everyone to 
be successful. The University 
Activities Board supposed the 
program. 

Tuerack's program had an 
insightful, useful message for 
all students. He talked at a fast 
pace in order to keep the atten- 
tion and fit in more informa- 
tion. He awarded cash prizes, 
using money as incentive and 
examples of how we form 
higher goals. 

Directly before the opening 
of the assembly, giant balloons 
and beach balls were tossed 
into the audience to hype 
everyone up, while loud music 
played. Tuerack repeatedly 
explained that the audience 
needed to keep our blood 
flowing in order to stay 
focused. This meant to play 
Simon Says, as we did, to pass 
balloons around the room, 
stand up or laugh. 

The majority of the audience 
consisted of athletes, which 
the program seemed clearly 
aimed at. 

A brief slideshow presented 
the usual advice to college stu- 
dents: go to class, sleep 



enough hours, pay attention 
and watch what you eat. 

This opened the topic to 
graduating. Tuerack pointed 
out that most graduates choose 
a job for money instead of 
happiness. 

In fact, 80% of our country 
is unhappy with their jobs. 

He blamed fear for why 
most of us end up unhappy. 
We're terrified to take a 
chance, nervous to speak up or 
just scared to try; we're afraid 
to fail. The average student 
hears eight negative criticisms 
for every positive one. 

So how do people become 
successful? What do success- 
ful people do differently to be 
so successful? 

According to Tuerack, suc- 
cessful people have goals and 
visualize themselves reaching 
those goals. 

The most successful people 
are dreamers because they 
dream of their goals, envision 
them being reached and then 
reach them. 

Tuerack helped the entire 
audience form long-term goals 
by answering three simple 
questions, with anything from 
careers to relationships. With 
the rest of your time on this 
planet, what do you want to 
have happen? What do you 
want to have happen in the 
next five years? You have six 
months to live. What do you 
do? 

Though the presentation as a 
whole was powerful and moti- 
vational, it wasn't anything 
extraordinarily different from 
any other high school assem- 
bly or speech. 

He encouraged the audience 
to go to class, pay attention, 
work hard and make some- 
thing of yourself. This is real- 
ly no different from those high 



school assemblies that always 
advised to not be a waste, to 
go to classes, to watch out for 
peer pressure and how to make 
it in the world. 

The one difference, however, 
in Tuerack's speech was his 
three-day challenge. 

Near the end of the assem- 
bly, Tuerack encouraged 
everyone to take this three-day 
challenge to improve the qual- 
ity of their lives. 

During these three days, he 
urges that we break out of our 
warm, fuzzy, comfort zone and 
set a few things which we've 
always wanted to do and just 
go for it. 

He gave the audience three 
rules. 

One, if you are going to do 
something, do it tomorrow 
instead of waiting. 



Two, if you are worried 
about doing it, then just do it. 
If you start to wonder whether 
or not you should, then you 
should. 

Three, if you think it's an 
excuse, then it is, and don't 
make excuses. 

But why should anyone even 
listen to Tuerack? Simple. 
Gary Tuerack is a very suc- 
cessful person himself. 

The founder of Tuerack 
Training International and 
author of Better Grades in 
Less Time: Faster Reading 
with Increased Comprehension 
and College Secrets, Gary 
Tuerack is a testimony to his 
own programs and presenta- 
tions. 

Amazingly, he was an 
extremely slow reader as a 
child and was able to find a 



way to dramatic accelerate his 
reading comprehension speed 
to more than 1,000 words per 
minute. 

Using his own discoveries to 
create his book and audio pro- 
gram that he consequently 
used to begin his own compa- 
ny, Tuerack is able to warrant 
all his claims with his own 
accomplishments along with 
the accomplishments of other 
highly successful people. 

Only five years after gradu- 
ating first in his class at 
Cornell University, he has cre- 
ated a booming international 
business and tours the United 
States speaking at middle 
schools, high schools, col- 
leges, and corporate business- 
es on subjects such as earning 
better grades and strategies of 
highly successful people. 




Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call 

Gary Tuerack's presentation "On the Edge: Living Life with No Excuses" at Marwick- 
Boyd Auditiorium motivated Clarion University students to go. into the world of work doing what 
they love and not focusing on what job will make them the most money. According to 
Tuerack, it is the only way to be truly successful in life.

Poet Terrance Hayes moves Clarion 



by Sasha Connors 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



Poet Terrance Hayes opened Clarion 
University's Spoken Art Reading 
Series at 7:30 p.m. last Thursday, 
September 26, 2002 in Moore Hall. 
The series is sponsored by the English 
Department. 

Hayes is the author of two poetry 
collections: Muscular Music and Hip 
Logic. He attended Coker College in 
South Carolina, where he majored in 
art. 

Terrance said with a downward 
glance, "I played basketball at Coker. I 
was an art major, and just happened to 
take enough English classes to have a 
double major. No one knew I wrote 
poems in college." 

Hayes received his M.F.A. in poetry 
at the University of Pittsburgh. 

Hayes said, "My mom didn't know I 
wrote poetry until the first book was 
published, and I was making money 
off of it. She heard it on the radio." 

After a long day of teaching creative 



writing classes at Carnegie Mellon 
University in Pittsburgh, Terrance 
braved the torrential downpours and 
parkway traffic to speak here at 
Clarion University. Though he was 
most likely exhausted from a long day 
of classes and unfavorable weather, he 
left students and faculty in awe at his 
reading. 

In the romantic style rooms of Moore 
Hall with rain water echoing through 
the gutters outside Terrance began, "So 
what am I gonna read. I don't even 
know. You see I'm torn between being 
the funny man and the serious man. I 
guess I'll start with some funny stuff 
before I go getting' all serious." 

With students and faculty filling the 
fold out chairs, squeezing into stand- 
ing room along the walls and sitting on 
the floor, Hayes began entertaining the 
crowd with his poem "Shafro." 

Quietly he said, "The poems in my 
first book [Muscular Music] are main- 
ly about my experiences growing up." 

While shuffling feet were and whis- 
pers quieted, Terrance gave them a 



piece of his soul to the audience to 
take home with them. 

At one point as Hayes read his poem 
"Gander," a cell-phone rang with 
musical tones. 

After a few moments he said, "I was 
trying to read to the music." 

Hayes words and voice flowed with 
rhythms of jazz and hip-hop echoing 
the musical undertones present in 
many of his poems. 

One poem entitled, "Paratrooper," is 
about Hayes' brother and his bother's 
love of Jimi Hendrix. Hayes explained 
to the crowd that he was inspired to 
write the poem because his brother 
loved Hendrix, and they were both 
paratroopers. 

Laughing shyly Hayes quoted anoth- 
er inspiration for the poem from the 
lips of Hendrix. 

He said, "I heard once that Jimi said, 
'The high comes once you've landed 
safe.' That's exactly how my brother 
feels." 

Two other poems that flowed and 
meandered through the audience were 



"When the Neighbors Fight" (refer- 
ence to Miles Davis), and "Boxcar," 
which is about the long solos of jazz 
musician John Coltrane. 

Hayes easily made a connection with 
the audience through his poems. 

Hip Logic, his newest collection of 
poems, was chosen by Cornelius Eady 
as a 2001 National Poetry Series book. 
These poems explore cultural heritage, 
prejudice and discrimination, father- 
hood, and popular culture. 

Hayes read poems with titles like 
"Shaft," "Squawk," "Gander," "Mr. T," 
"Touch," "Ars Poetica #789," and 
"The Same City." 

Impeccably, Hayes closed a poem 
about his wife. 

Both students and faculty sighed in 
awe, roared with laughter, and wiped 
tears from their eyes throughout the 
reading. 

Terrance Hayes not only graced 
Clarion with his poetry but with his 
wit, style and rhythm that one can only 
fully understand by hearing him read 
his works.

Movie Review 



Witherspoon is at home in Alabama 



by Carolyn Kelley 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Sweet Home Alabama is the 
newest must-see romantic 
comedy. 

After watching this movie 
girls everywhere are saying to 
their boyfriends, "I want you 
to look at me like that." 

And if you've already seen 
the movie you know what I'm 
talking about, and if you 
haven't you soon will. 

The movie stars Reese 
Witherspoon (Legally Blonde, 
Election, Cruel Intentions) as 
Melanie Carmichael, the up 
and coming hottest fashion 
designer in New York. 

Her perfect life with brand 
new fiancee Andrew, son of 
the New York Mayor, played 
by Patrick Dempsey (80's 
flick Can't Buy Me Love) 
becomes not so perfect when 
she has to return home to 
Alabama to demand a divorce 
from gorgeous, scruffy hus- 
band Jake (Josh Lucas, 
Beautiful Mind). 

We learn Melanie left home 

seven years earlier to make a 

better life for herself, and boy 

has she. 

No longer the southern trail- 



er trash troublemaker. She's 
now a sophisticated designer 
with no trace of a husband, or 
a poor family. 

She goes to great extremes 
to hide her past, even using 
the last name of the wealthiest 
family from her hometown. 

Once Melanie is home, she 
is confronted with what she 
left behind; a husband that 
will not give her the divorce 
she wants, friends that have a 
hard time accepting the new 
Melanie, and how to say 
good-bye all over again. 

Andy Tennant, the same guy 
that gave us "Everafter" with 
Drew Barrymore, directed 
"Sweet Home Alabama". 

Tennant pieced the parts 
together very well in this 
movie, giving us just enough 
of a flashback in the begin- 
ning to make all the pieces fit 
together. 

There is the question of the 
time that elapses from when 
Melanie leaves home for a 
better life and the time she 
finally meets someone. It took 
her seven years to meet some- 
one like the perfect Andrew? 

Tennant gets his political 
jabs in there too by having 
Andrew, the son of the New 



IESTIITI THEATRES 

IN THE CLARION MflLL 

Movie Schedule 

■ FRI 4 th UNTIL THUR. 10 th — 



York City Mayor, played by 
Candace Bergen. She does a 
great job as the high-class, 
that-girl-is-not-good-enough- 
for-my-son type of mother. 

Bergen never gives poor 
Reese a chance and we are 
never told exactly why that is. 

The only clue we get it that 
Andrew's dad must have been 
having an affair with a young 
blonde, but that is all we are 
given of that, so why mention 
it at all? 

The soundtrack for the film 
was great throughout the 
movie. Of course the title 
song by Lynryd Skynryd plays 
its own little role. 

Those who are expecting a 
repeat performance of a 
"Legally Blonde" type of 
character of Reese 

Witherspoon will have to wait 
for that sequel. 

We see here that she can be 
serious, and yes, even intelli- 
gent. 

We hear her go back to her 
own personal roots with her 
southern accent. All actors of 
this movie are great, but it 
seems that in the future the 
next Hollywood hunk will be 
Josh Lucas. Was it the south- 
ern boy image or the big blue 

Book Review 



eyes? You can decide for 
yourself. 

Guys, don't be deterred 
from going to see this movie. 
It isn't all romance; it does 
have some good laughs too. 

All kinds of emotions are 
dealt with in the duration of 
the movie. 
Pet lovers, beware, there are 



sentimental memories that 
could touch home. 

All in all Sweet Home 
Alabama is a good movie to 
go see. 

There are enough twists and 
turns to keep your attention, 
and you come out of the the- 
aters having a bright outlook 
on love again.

Tuesday - 
Bargain Night 
S4.50 Tickets 



by Carissa Rosati 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

The writer of the hit television 
series "Sex and the City," 
Candace Bushnell, is a huge suc- 
cess again, writing The New York 
Times Bestseller 4 Blondes. The 
book is funny, sexy, and perverted 
all in one. 

Bushnell definitely does not 
hold back anything in this novel. 
There are four different beautiful 
women, all blondes as the title 
implies: a model, a columnist, a 
socialite, and a writer. Their lives 
all sort of intertwine in 
Manhattan. The book is broken 



PG 



into four sections about these 
women. 

The first section of the book 
entitled "Nice N' Easy" is cen- 
tered around the character of Jane 
Wilcox, the model, who is aging 
fast and still has not accomplished 
any goals in life. 

She is easy going and uses men 
for their money. Every year she 
finds a filthy rich man whom she 
starts dating only to use him to 
stay the summer in the beautiful 
mansions in the Hamptons. 

Jane also gets used for her gor- 
geous looks and magnificent 
body, but after a while she 
becomes tired of the dumb blond 



with the banging body image she 
has acquired over the years. 
Bushnell takes you through the 
story of how Jane Wilcox makes it 
on her own after all. 

The next section of the book 
focuses on Winnie Dieke and her 
husband James Dieke and is enti- 
tled "Highlights (For Adults)." 

I have to say that this story was 
the worst one out of the four. It 
might be because I had no relation 
to it what so ever, but it just drug 
out. 

Winnie and James have good 
jobs, a good son and a good life.

Theater Review 



"Slavs!" is a hopeful start to theater season 



by Erin Hilty 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Before the lights, designed 
by Professor Edward Powers, 
even come up. a voice is 
heard talking about socialism. 
Then a Red Army Soldier 
marches out on stage. 

Thus begins this 90-minute 
production of "Slavs!" subti- 
tled "Thinking About the 
Long-standing Problems of 
Virtue and Happiness" by 
Tony Kushner, which opened 
Tuesday night and will play 
through Saturday in the 
Marwick-Boyd Little Theater. 
"Slavs!" is a collage of 
scenes set largely in Moscow 
in 1985 and Siberia in 1992. 

These vignettes of the last 
days of Bolshevism, at one 
time part of Mr. Kushner's 
"Angels in America: 

Millennium Approaches and 
Perestroika," are now asked 
to stand on their own. 

We get off to a talky start as 
two snow-sweeping 

babushkas (played by junior 
Bret Sloan and freshman 
Russell Joseph Williamson) 
debate Marxist dogma outside 
the Kremlin. 

Inside, two elderly 
Bolshevik apparatchiks 

(played by Jessica Bure and 
Laura Gilley) and the Oldest 
Living Bolshevik (played by 
senior Katie Kerr), spout at 
length and, one after the 
other, drop dead. 

Quickly, we switch to a 
Moscow museum where the 
brains of the top Bolsheviks 
are kept pickled in jars. 
Security guard, Katherina 
(freshman Carla Rose 
Leight), getting "pickled" 
herself, rejects the advances 
of true-believer, Bolshevik 
Ippolite (Bret Sloan), not 
because of his political 



beliefs but because he is a 
man 

Katherina's true love, pedi- 
atric oncologist Bonfila 
(sophomore Jessica Bure), 
then appears. 

Soon it is 1992, and we are 
in a Siberian clinic where 
Bonfila is treating a little girl 
genetically damaged by expo- 
sure to nuclear radiation. 

The anger of Dr. Bonfila 
and the girl's mother (fresh- 
man Laura Gilley) finds a 
focus in a visiting bureaucrat 
aptly named Rodent (Russel 
Joseph Williamson). 

The play's final scene is 
apparently in heaven, where 
the little girl comes to join 
two embittered old men. 

Director, Robert Levy, has 
done it again. Consistently, he 
asks more of his audiences 
than does the average direc- 
tor. He asks them to think 
about something beyond 
where they are and what they 
are doing right now. 

Levy makes the audience 
think, even if for just a little 
while, that there is something 
beyond that stage and the 
paper they have to write about 
what is going on upon it. 

Set design by William 
Gibson and Costume design 
by Robert Goodrich add to the 
performances of the actors. 

All the actors and actresses 
seem very comfortable in the 
spaces of the set in which 
they are working. Being com- 
fortable and appearing com- 
fortable on the set of play in 
front of a live audience is not 
as simple as one would think 
and tells a lot about the pro- 
fessionalism and maturity of 
the actors and actresses. 

The addition of the snow 
combined with the ever-pre- 
sent blue back light gives the 
illusion of Clarion in the cold 



of January which is really 
effective. It made me want to 
shiver. 

Veteran University Theater 
performers senior Katie Kerr 
and sophomore Jessica Bure 
give solid presentations once 
again. Katie Kerr shows grace 
under the pressure of playing 
the Oldest Living Bolshevik. 

It can't be easy for such a 
young actress to find a 95 
year old man in her reper- 
toire. 

Jessica Bure also showed 
promise in her portrayal Dr. 
Bonafila. She brought a depth 
to the role with her, somewhat 
preachy but very believable, 
echoing moral voice. 

Newcomer, freshman, Laura 
Gilley gives a stunning per- 
formance as Serge 
Esmereldovich Upgobkin, a 
member of the Politburo, and 
Shastlivyi Domik, the mother 
of the little girl. 

Gilley finds a voice for 
these two characters that res- 
onates through the entire 

Play- 
Actors Melissa Lynch, Carla 
Rose Leight, Bret Sloan, and 
Russell Joseph Williamson 
also put in good performances 
for University Theater. All 
exhibited poise, and experi- 
ence beyond their years and I 
look forward to seeing them 
in future productions. 

As an actual play, "Slavs!" 
is nonexistent; it's a random 
set of snapshots that do not 
add up to a coherent take on 
anything with the exception 
of the inner workings of Mr. 
Kushner's mind. 

All in all, the University 
Theater production of 
"Slavs!" remains a winner. It 
is a little from left field at 
times, but that just makes for 
interesting discussion after- 
ward. 



The subtle changes in tone 
are brought out by director 
Robert Levy, whose experi- 
enced cast and a great crew 
leads the audience from jeers 
at the silly Soviets to a final, 
human awareness that hope, 
four letter word or not, is all 



we as human being truly 
have. 

The University Theater's 
next production is "Tartuffe" 
directed by Professor Robert 
Bullington to open Tuesday, 
Nov. 12 and close Saturday, 
Nov. 16.

writer scores, from Page 10. 

Or at least everyone thinks they do. 
Of course, behind every perfect 
relationship, every perfect lifestyle, 
every perfect job, lies the real story. 

Winnie and James seem to agree 
on everything they do not like about 
everything and everyone else, but 
the story shows you the inner 
thoughts of these two "respectable" 
characters and shows the audience 
that both of them are pretty pathetic 
people. 

The ending of this section had me 
a little amazed at little twist in 
Winnie and James "perfect" rela- 
tionship and surprised about their 
behavior and the little twist to their 
"perfect" relationship.

is about a famous socialite, Cecelia 
Kelly Luxenstein. She married 
Prince Hubert Luxenstein. Cecelia 
is always on the front of the maga- 
zines with some nasty caption read- 
ing underneath it. 

She constantly thinks that some- 
one is out to get her, kill her, or 
destroy her image. She is always on 
the run from the photographers who 
are chasing her for a picture. 

This story lets you inside crazy 
Cecelia's head and shows you what 
she is thinking. This one is hilari- 
ous. Through this whole section I 
was laughing and thinking what is 
wrong with this woman. 

The final section in the book is an 
autobiographical story called 
"Single Process," in which 
Bushnell goes to London to find the 
differences between American 
women and English women. 

This story also follows sex driven 
lifestyles like all of the other stories, 
but honestly that is what makes this 
book as a whole great. 

Everyone knows sex sells and 
Candace Bushnell knows how to 
tell the story. It just seems like the 
topic is something that everyone 
can relate to and it never gets bor- 
ing. 

No matter what color hair you 
have this is a must read!

Gettiri the party started - with a balloon puppy 



by Dave Barry 
Syndicated Writer 



I used to be a party animal. If there 
was a party, I was there, and I did not 
leave until it was over. Even then, I 
did not always leave. Sometimes the 
people who threw the party, if they 
wanted to get rid of me, had to move. 

And these were not sedate parties. 
These were parties where naked 
swimming was as common as onion 
dip. I recall one very cold New Year's 
Eve in New York City when a group 
of us decided around 1 a.m. that it 
would be a great idea to go to Jones 
Beach and swim in the Atlantic 
Ocean, which for your information is 
not heated. 

The water was so cold that the fish 
had crawled onto shore and built little 
driftwood bonfires, but we charged 
right into the surf and frolicked until 
we had the same internal temperature 
as an Eskimo Pie. 

If we had drifted into the path of an 
ocean liner, our bodies would have 
punctured the hull and sunk it. That is 
the kind of party animals we were. 

I was thinking about this recently, 
at a party. Like most of the parties I 
attend these days, this one was to cel- 
ebrate the birthday of a person who is 
younger than my current set of con- 
tact lenses. There is no nudity at these 
parties, except when a guest removes 
all of his or her garments, including 



diaper, and sprints around squealing, 
pursued by a parent terrified that the 
child is about to make peepee on the 
carpet of semi-complete strangers. 

So there I was, holding a balloon 
puppy that had been made for my 
daughter by the party clown. (All 




children's birthday parties are now 
required, under federal law, to have a 
clown. If you don't have one, armed 
agents of the U.S. Department of 
Child Whimsy will come to your 
home and forcibly paint your face.) I 
was talking with my wife and another 
mom, who told us she had started 
buying her groceries via the Internet. 



You can do this where we live: You 
go on the Internet and select the gro- 
ceries you want, and they are deliv- 
ered to your house. If you have a 
chair with wheels, you can just roll 
from your computer to your front 
door, let the delivery people in, then 
roll back to your computer, without 
ever standing up. We live in wonder- 
ful times. 

Anyway, this mom was telling us 
about ordering her groceries online, 
and some other moms, overhearing 
this, hurried over. I will not lie to 
you: We were all very excited. When 
the online mom told us that you could 
even specify, online, whether you 
wanted your bananas ripe or unripe, 
there were audible gasps. I made a 
gesture of amazement with my daugh- 
ter's balloon. 

That was when a chilling thought 
flashed across my mind: What has 
happened to me? How did I -- a per- 
son who once made the front page of 
the newspaper in Armonk, N.Y., 
because, of all the lawns I could have 
chosen to lie down and fall asleep on, 
I chose the lawn belonging to the 
chief of police — how did I turn into a 
person enthusiastically thrusting a 
balloon puppy in reaction to the news 
that I had an online banana-ripeness 
option? Is my life really this dull 
now? Have I turned into a pathetic old 
person, like Strom Thurmond, or the 
Rolling Stones? 



Wouldn't Thrusting Balloon Puppies 
be a good name for a rock band? 

Do you want more proof of how dull 
my life has become? Do you want to 
know how I spend my leisure time? 
No? Too bad. I spend my leisure time 
watching The Wizard of Oz on DVD. 
My daughter, who is 2 1/2 (years old) 
(also, feet tall) is obsessed with it. 

I have watched it more than 100 
times. I find myself thinking about it 
a LOT. I have concluded -- and I real- 
ize this view will be unpopular -- that 
the REAL reason why Glinda. the so- 
called "good" witch, does not tell 
Dorothy right away about the power 
of the ruby slippers is that Glinda 
secretly hates Dorothy, because 
Dorothy gets all the big song-and- 
dance numbers, whereas Glinda is 
virtually immobilized inside a giant 
pink dress that makes her hips appear 
to be the size of a 1968 Buick 
Riviera. 

Yes, this is how I, Mr. Former Party 
Dude, am currently spending my 
leisure time. 

At night, when I am trying to sleep, 
I hear Munchkins shrieking in my 
head, especially the Coroner of 
Munchkinland, reporting the medical 
findings of his autopsy on the Wicked 
Witch of the East. 

"She's not only merely dead!" he 
sings. "She's really most sincerely 
dead!" 

I know how she feels.

HOROSCOPES 

Today's Birthday (Oct. 3). The secret to your success this 
year is in the details. Take as much time as you need to make sure 
you've thought of everything before proceeding. This will inhibit 
your spontaneity somewhat, but you'll gain sophistication, and 
that's a good thing. 

To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easi- 
est day, the most challenging. 



ftp* 



Aries (March 21 -April 19) - Today is a 7 - New difficulties 
soon arise, so don't assume you know it all. Good planning will 
help, of course, but more study is required. 

Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 7 - Reaching an 
agreement leads to a closer bond, and that makes everything else 
seem easier. There are still complications and shortages, but 
together you'll find a way. 

Gemini (May 21 -June 21) - Today is a 6 - You know those 
things you've been thinking that might be better left unsaid? The 
really critical stuff? Unless you want the same back atcha, better 
stifle. 

Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 7 - Your natural tal- 
ents are needed today to keep everybody on track. Without you, 
chaos might reign, so if they're not listening, shout. 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 6 - As you go over your 
lists, you may note several little things that need immediate atten- 
tion. A responsible review of those lists could save you money. 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7 - You may have to 
call a halt to the proceedings. If somebody makes an erroneous 
assumption, don't let it stand. Object, or else you'll wish you had. 

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 7 - Something you 
thought you had figured out could come unraveled. If it's not going 
to work, it's better to know sooner rather than later. 

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is a 7 - Not all of the 
news is good, but it's better to know the truth. You're learning why 
it's best to play by the rules, especially where money is involved. 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 6 - Another dead 
end? Don't despair. This is valuable information. Besides, your 
curiosity is being tweaked, and your resolve deepened. 

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is a 6 - A person who 
owes you a favor can give you the information you've been seek- 
ing. Discuss the situation and find out what you need to know. 

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 7 - Postpone your 
big date until the weekend, and plan to travel then. Meanwhile, 
watch your money. Spend carefully and don't take risks. 

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 7 - A surprising rev- 
elation causes you to reassess the priorities you've just set. Don't 
be dismayed, and don't hesitate. The more you do it, the easier it 
gets.

Volleyball continues its successful run 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

The Clarion University Women's 
Volleyball team keeps rolling along 
in the 2002 season as they picked up 
another win to put them at 14-1 
overall and 3-1 in the PSAC. They 
continue to make the climb to 
Regionals and Nationals a reality. 



digs, junior Mel Bull with 26 kills 
and 15 digs, andjunior Laurie 
Hepler with 23 digs. Sophmore 
Tonya Zatko and senior Beth Stadler 
both added twelve and eleven kills 
respectively. Bull was also named to 
the PSAC honor roll for her perfor- 
mances last week against Lock 
Haven and in the PSAC crossover 
matches last weekend. 

Clarion currently leads the PSAC 



Slippery Rock came into town in hitting and blocks and is seC ond 



Tuesday night looking to defeat one 
of the best teams in the PSAC, how- 
ever things did not work out as they 
planned. 

SRU came out strong in the first 
game and won with a score of 24-30. 
Clarion made a lot of unforced 
errors in that first game but 
regrouped and never looked back as 
they won three straight to lock in 
the victory. Scores from the games 
were 24-30, 30-27, 30-21, and 30- 
22. 

"After the first game, I just told 
the team to eliminate their hitting 
errors and net violations and once 
that happens, to capitalize on all 
free balls and terminate each ball at 
the net," said Head Coach Tracy 
Fluharty. 

Leaders for the night were junior 
Jackie Hill with 60 assists, and 16 



in assists. Clarion's own Beth 
Stalder leads the hitting percentage 
and Colleen Sherk leads in blocks in 
the PSAC. 

Clarion "Women's Volleyball is 
back in action this weekend as they 
host the Holiday Inn Classic. They 
look to defend their own tournament 
title. 

The invitational will feature 
Clarion, Wheeling Jesuit, Concordia 
(NY), Lees-McRae, Slippery Rock, 
and Shippensburg. There will be a 
lot of competition throughout the 
weekend and playing five matches 
will be a lot of work but Coach 
Fluharty is confident in her team. 

"I feel that the team is both men- 
tally and physically stronger than 
any team and we should do great," 
said Fluharty.

Women's Rugby team faces first D-I opponent 



Ashley Good 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

The Clarion Women's Rugby team 
played in their first round of the 
Midwest Division I League this past 
Sunday as they took on Ohio State 
University. 

Ohio State came in as a highly 
ranked Midwest Division I club after 
their third place finish in the Midwest 
D-I last season. This was Clarion 
first match against D-I opponent in 



the club's history. 

The match began with Clarion kick- 
ing off to OSU. The Buckeyes orga- 
nized a charge upfield to score quick- 
ly within the first minute of the 
match going up 5-0 after a missed 
conversion kick. The Clarion women 
were able to quickly regroup and 
drive the ball deep into the OSU end 
of the field. 

After a penalty was called against 
the OSU defense, the Clarion for- 
wards secured the lineout when 8-

man Karen Pentz pulled in the throw 
from Julie Rengers and began a 
rolling Maul that drove the ball 
downfield twenty meters to within ten 
meters of the OSU try line. The 
OSU defense stopped the Clarion for- 
wards, but this would begin Clarion's 
offensive attack. 

The Lady Eagles dominated ball 
possession for most of the first half, 
keeping the play in the OSU end of 
the field . 

Clarion's Fly-Half Ashley Good and 
Centers Becky Kukla and Casey 
Onyshko shut down Ohio's backline 
attack with some hard hitting tackles 
forcing the their offense to kick for 
field position. 

Clarion played a solid half of 
offense and defense. Unfortunately, 
in the 30th minute of play, a OSU 
kick downfield took a bounce and 
was picked up by an OSU center for a 
40 meter try. Ohio then made the 



conversion to end the half up 12-0. 
The second half was a continuation of 
the first with good offense and 
defense on both sides of the ball. 
The Women's Rugby team played 
hard up to the final whistle but just 
ran out of time to make a run. 

"We played a great match, and aside 
from a few bad bounces we were 
definitly in the match. We got off to 
a slow start, but played some great 
rugby both on offense and defense. I 
was very pleased with the team's 
effort," said Coach Brian Frank. 

In the B-Side match on Sunday, 
Clarion defeated Grove City College 
35-0. Scoring for Clarion was 
Winger Casey Lorenzato , 8-man 
Brooke Lyle, Scrum-Half Karen 
Sicignano, and Flanker Jennie 
Drnach. 

The Women's Rugby team will face 
IUP in their next match on Sunday in 
Indiana, Pa.

How about those Golden 
Eagles? Clarion's fall sports 
teams are definitely on a roll 
this season, claiming victo- 
ries left and right. The foot- 
ball team just defeated 
Kutztown 31-7, the volleyball 
team won a PSAC East 
crossover tournament, the 
women's soccer team crushed 
Mansfield, the women's 
cross-country team trampled 
the Duquesne Invitational, 
and the men's golf team took 
top honors at the WVIAC 
Regional tournament. 

This season proves that 
Golden Eagle athletes want 
noticed, and are working 
harder than ever to put 
Clarion on the map. 

So how are these competi- 
tors outperforming nearly 
every team they play against? 
Some would say that luck 
determines everything, or 
maybe Clarion just acquired a 
fresh batch of talent. 

As an athlete, I would have 
to disagree with both of these 
speculations. Ask any mem- 
ber of a sports team wh'at 
their secret to success is, and 
they will surely reply with 
one truthful statement: HARD 
WORK. 

Every time I pass the gym, 
the weight room, the stadium, 
or run the trails, I see dozens 
of athletes pushing the limits 
of what they deemed possi- 
ble. 

The combination of dirt and 
sweat on their faces screams 
NOTICE ME, and their tactic 



seems to work. The successes 
are evident in all of the teams 
this season, not just by the 
number of victories each 
claim, but by the amount of 
records being smashed daily. 

Golden Eagle quarterback, 
Adam Almashy currently has 
976 career rushing yards and 
hopes to be the first quarter- 
back in Clarion history to 
reach 1000. 

The women's volleyball 
team is currently 14-1 over- 
all, a school record season 
start. The men's golf team 
won the WVIAC tournament 
with a two-day team total of 
four-under par, with Matt 
Guyton shooting a two-day 
total of 10-under par. The 
women's soccer team is cur 
rently 3-5-1 overall, and have 
already smashed last year's 
season records. 

Lastly, the women's cross 
country team rocked the 
Duquesne Invitational over 
the weekend, placing five 
runners in the top 13. 
Freshman Anna Beck was 
awarded as the PSAC athlete 
of the week for stepping up as 
Clarion's top female runner 
Although these are just a few 
recent accomplishments, the 
season has just begun, and 
room for improvement 
remains. 

I believe that this turn in 
Clarion sports marks an 
improvement in the athletes 
in general. Rarely, does one 
find such a well-rounded 
assortment of sports success 
es. So what is the cause of 
these improvements? It's all 
in the attitude. 

For nearly all of our exis 
tence, our generation has 
been labeled as Generation 
"X." Nobody knew what to 
expect, but they prepared for 
the worst. 

In my opinion, this genera- 
tion prides itself in proving 
that we possess the potential 
to go beyond the limits of 
"possible." It may have just 
begun at a little college 
known as Clarion University

igle Soccer team splits weekend matches 



by Erin Witner 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

This past weekend the Lady 
Eagles hosted two matches at 
Memorial Stadium. Capturing 
one win and one loss in the 
weekend series, they are now 
coming off of playing three 
games in just five days. 

On Saturday, the Lady 
Eagles took on Mansfield in a 
PSAC match. Mansfield is in 
their first year of NCAA 
Division II play however, 
Clarion did not take them 
lightly and played a solid nine- 
ty minute game. 

Clarion dominated the match 
and won with a score of 6-1. 
Junior Becky Stewart scored 
the first two goals for Clarion, 
followed by freshman Kristen 
Werder scoring the third, and 
then freshmen Jayme Violi 
capped it off with the last goal 



scored off of a cross by 
Melissa Alonzo to end the first 
half. 

Clarion came out just as 
strong in the second half and 
put two more in the net. 
Freshman Melissa Alonzo 
scored the Lady Eagles fifth 
goal and then freshmen Jessie 
Zahner scored the final goal of 
the game. 

Goalkeeper Kelly Townsend 
recorded the win, and also had 
an excellent game. 

"This was an exciting win for 
our team," said Coach Alonzo. 
"We had a chance to get every- 
one on the field to play, and it 
was a great team effort, this is 
something that we like to see 
happen," she added. 

On Sunday, the Lady Eagles 
were back into action, hosting 
Seton Hill. The team was 
hoping to finish as they did in 
the game versus Mansfield, but 



they came up short. 

This was a tough loss for the 
ladies being that the competi- 
tion was intense until the last 
minute. The teams entered 
half time scoreless but after a 
motivating half time discus- 
sion the Lady Eagles stepped 
up the intensity level hoping to 
take the win. 

Junior Marianna Reino 
scored the first goal. Seton 
Hill then came back to score 
late in the half with a lucky 
shot from 40 yards out to tie it 
up. 

With two minutes left, Seton 
Hill capitalized on Clarion's 
fatigue and finished on top 
with the final goal to end with 
a 2-1 score. 

Overall, Clarion out shot 
Seton Hill 16-12. Forwards

Golden Eagles claim third straight win as they defeat Kutztown 




Courtesy of 
Sports Information 




Clarion QB Adam Almashy ran for 
two touchdowns and passed for anoth- 
er as the Golden Eagles defeated 
Kutztown 31-7 on Saturday afternoon 
at KU's University Field. 

Clarion picked up its third straight 
win and upped its overall record to 3- 
1, while Kutztown dropped to 1-3 
overall. 

Clarion, who entered the game with 
the #4 ranked rushing offense in 
Division II, rushed for 306 yards on 
62 carries. The Golden Eagles were 
averaging 296 yards entering the 
game. 

After a scoreless first quarter, 
Almashy put the Golden Eagles ahead 
7-0 on a 1-yard run with 7:01 left in 
the second quarter. The run capped a 
10-play, 75-yard drive. 

On Kutztown's next possession the 
Bears had the ball on the Clarion 21, 
and on third down, Clarion corner 
back Myron Hargon came up with the 
big play and intercepted a pass from 
Rob Flowers and returned it forty 
yards to the Kutztown 37. 

With only seconds remaining before 
halftime, and Clarion on the Bear's 



10, placekicker Chris Carlton came on 
and booted a 27-yard field goal with 
15-seconds left and a 10-0 halftime 
lead. 

Kutztown drew to within 10-7 on the 
first drive of the third quarter. The 
Bears went 69-yards in 9 plays and 
scored on a Stephen Gammage 1 yard 
run. 

Clarion's special teams unit set up 
the Eagles next touchdown. Chris 
Roberts blocked a Kutztown punt at 
the KU 27 and teammate Nate Apple 
recovered it at the Kutztown 27. 

Clarion moved to the Kutztown 8, 
but the drive stalled and the Eagles 
faced third and goal at the KU 14. 
Golden Eagle QB Almashy then 
stepped up and tossed a 14-yard td 
pass to Justin Sickeri in the left corner 
of the endzone extending the Eagles 
lead to 17-7 with 3:51 left in the third. 
Clarion's Ben Culver returned a 
Kutztown punt 15 yards to the Bear's 
38, putting the Eagles in business 
again. The Eagles converted the short 
field driving 38 yards in nine plays. 

Almashy scored on a 6-yard run to 
cap the drive giving Clarion an insur- 
mountable 24-7 lead with only 7:20 
remaining.

Cutting into the future 



by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

Before the Autumn Leaf 
Festival Parade, Clarion 
University will hold a dedica- 
tion and ribbon cutting ceremo- 
ny for Rena M. Carlson Library 
at 9 a.m. Oct. 12 at the library's 
main entrance. 

"We are very excited about 
the dedication and the official 
recognition of this important 
addition to our university," said 
Ron Wilshire, assistant vice 
president of advancement and 
university relations. "The dedi- 
cation ceremony should have 
something for everyone." 



The cost to reconstruct the 
new facility totaled $14.6 mil- 
lion. 

The library officially opened 
March 6 and recently serviced 
its 100,000 patron Sept. 10. 

"I think it is a comfortable 
atmosphere with great 
resources," said Sarah 
Besucker, freshman elementary 
education/coaching major. 

The facility has four floors 
and can seat 900 people. In 
addition, the wireless facility 
has three computer labs, 150 
computers and an option to 
sign out one of 24 laptop com- 
puters from the library's circu- 
lation desk.

"I like the fact that they have 
laptops so that you can be com- 
fortable while typing a paper," 
said Wanda Nesbitt, senior 
library science major. 

The first floor holds the ref- 
erence section, periodical read- 
ing area, and places for group 
study sessions. 




Lend a hand 




Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call 

The University Art Gallery is full of helping hands right now. Artist Kathy 
Rhoades has her display in the gallery located in the newly reconstructed Rena 
M. Carlson library. 



"It has an atmosphere for 
learning," said Nesbitt. 

The second floor is home to 
the library science department 
and contains two classrooms, 
one of which is used to telecast 
courses to Pittsburgh, 
Harrisburg and Philadelphia. 

"I think it's real nice, very 
high tech and state-of-the-art. 
There's everything there a stu- 
dent would need," said Ben 
Thompson, junior secondary 
education major. 

Below the first floor is Level 
A. Level A is designated as the 
center for cultural activities 
with a room which seats 100 
people for activities which vary 
from class sessions to open 
microphone poetry readings. 

"It's a fun place to be," said 
Mike Gressler, freshman sec- 
ondary education major. 

Level A also is the "Center 
for Academic Excellence," 
where the academic achieve- 
ments of Clarion University 
students and faculty will be 
displayed. The idea was 
inspired by the athletic 
achievement displays in Tippin 
Gymnasium. 

In addition, the University 
Art Gallery is now located on 
Level A. The gallery moved 
from Sandford Art Gallery pre- 
viously located in Marwick- 
Boyd Fine Arts Building. The 
gallery is handicapped accessi- 
ble. 

The library reconstruction 
began in September 2000. 

The program for the ceremo- 
ny is as follows: 
♦Welcome and Introduction of 
Guests, President Diane 
Reinhard;

Faculty Senate looks to create common faculty area 



by Katie Warner 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Janet Knepper, English pro- 
fessor in charge of the Faculty 
Affairs committee spoke about 
improving life for existing 
faculty at Monday's Faculty 
Senate meeting. 

At the Faculty Affairs meet- 
ing last week, numerous ideas 
were suggested to meet the 
goal of improving faculty life. 

One idea is to continue the 
mentoring program already in 
existence, which assigns new 
faculty members a mentor to 
help make the transition to 
Clarion easier. 

The creation of a faculty 
dining room was also dis- 
cussed at Monday's meeting. 

This idea was tried before, 
but faculty weren't pleased 



with the variety and taste of 
the food. 

The Faculty Affairs 
Committee presented the idea 
of going through the lines with 
the students at Chandler, but 
that idea was not agreed upon. 

Another problem is the price 
of food and where they would 
hold such a place. 

The committee has decided 
not to have a faculty dining 
area specifically for faculty, 
but they are still looking for a 
faculty common area. 

The common area would be 
a place where faculty can eat 
their lunches and get work 
done. More on this will be dis- 
cussed in upcoming meetings. 
President Diane Reinhard 
wished everyone "a happy 
Autumn Leaf week" and 



reminded everyone about the 
Carlson Library dedication 
this Saturday, Oct. 12 at 9 a.m. 
Goals for Venango Campus 
were also discussed. 

According to Cindy Zidek, a 
nursing professor from 
Venango, three major goals 
have been set for Venango 
campus. 

They are: more involvement 
in Faculty Senate and other 
committees in Clarion, pro- 
moting visibility of Venango 
around their community and 
advancing enrollment to high- 
er numbers. 

Student Affairs presented 
the 2003-04 academic calen- 
dar for Senate approval. 

Major changes include start- 
ing spring semester one week 
earlier in January and ending 




school one week earlier in 
May. 

No major changes have been 
made to the fall semester cal- 
endar. 

Once the calendar has been 



Clarion Call /File photo 



formally approved it will be 
made available to faculty and 
students. 

The next Facutly Senate 
meeting will be Monday, Oct. 
21.

Drink Think makes students think 



by Denise Carter 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Guest speaker Rick Barnes 
spoke to students Monday, 
Oct. 7 about Drink Think: "A 
personal approach to alco- 
hol." 

Barnes, born and raised in 
Texas, has been speaking to 
college students for ten years 
about drinking alcohol with- 
out abusing it. 

He received his B.S. from 
Texas Tech University and an 
MA. in Liberal Arts from 
Texas Christian University. 

Barnes started with a power 
point presenation, which had 
many myths and facts about 
alcohol. For example, the 
myths that men are only 
alcholics and that coffee, cold 
air and showers will sober a 
person up were included in 
the presentation. 

Barnes asked the audience 



a question that his own dad 
asked him when he was in 
college - "why did you 
choose to go to college?" 



I hope none of you 

came to school saying 

you know, 1 am gonna 

go get drunk every 

night. 99 

-Rick Barnes 



Some students responded, 
"to get a good paying job" 
and "to meet new people." 

Why then is it that many 
college students find it neces- 
sary to take up drinking? 

The answer came from the 
College of Alcohol Survey 
that found that the number 
one reason students drink is 
for a sense of belonging. 

The second reason is for 



something exciting to talk 
about. 

The number three reason 
students drink is that there 
are no structured events 
between 10p.m. and 3a.m. 

Barnes stressed that many 
students are making responsi- 
ble decisions concerning 
alcohol use 

However, the number of 
cases of alcohol poisoing is 
increasing. 

Although there are fewer 
people drinking, more people 
are drinking heavier.. 

Barnes asked the audience 
how many of them had known 
someone who died as a result 
of alcohol; many hands flew 
up. 

Barnes recommends that if 
students drink, to be responsi- 
ble about it. 

He reminded students about 
their options if they ever find 
themselves intoxicated 



One option is to go to jail, 
another is to go to the hospi- 
tal and get your stomach 
pumped or have a friend take 
care of you. You pick which 
one you would rather do. 

"It is a federally mandated 
law, that states that you 
should not drink if you are 
under 21, not the school prin- 
cipal," said Barnes. 

Barnes' final advice to the 
audience was that if you are 
going to drink, you should 
drink responsibly and know 
your limits. 

At the end of the presenta- 
tion, Barnes reasked his 
opening question. 

"Why did you choose to go 
to college," asked Barnes. "I 
hope none of you came to 
school saying you know, I am 
gonna go get drunk every 
night."

Don Fraser, an authority on 
student success and retention 
is the keynote speaker for the 
Adult Learners on Campus 
National Conference, Oct. 18- 
20, at Clarion University- 
Venango Campus. 

This year's theme, "Utilizing 
Our Pasts to Shape Our 
Futures," explores where adult 
learners come from and where 
they want to go as both stu- 
dents and professionals. 

A series of workshops, over 
25 are planned, will explore 
the many aspects of change 
learners face today. 

Topics will include motiva- 
tion, successful programming, 
utilizing alumni to expand 
campus organizations, technol- 
ogy's role, retention, job mar- 
ket trends and demands, and 
personal growth. 

Fraser's topic, "Best 
Practices in Student 

Motivation: Day 1 to 
Graudation," provides a 
focused look at what students, 



faculty, staff and administra- 
tion need to know to maximize 
the college experience. 

Over 5,000 college staff per- 
sonel have been trained at his 
seminars and over 500,000 stu- 
dents have used "Making Your 
Mark" to help them get started 
and to succeed at college. 

Fraser has been a professor 
at Durhan College in Ontario 
for the past 28 years. He also 
is the publisher of the national 
best seller, "Making Your 
Mark". 

He has been a speaker for 
well-known conferences such 
as the Noel Levitz National 
Conference on Student 
Retention - 1998 to the pre- 
sent, the Atlantic Colleges 
Development Institute, 

Conference, the International 
Conference on Teaching and 
Leadership Excellence and at 
more than 30 colleges across 
North America. 

The post conference event,

C.U.P. participates in National Depression Screening Day 



by Denise Carter 
Clarion Call I Staff .Writer 

Have you ever had abnormal 
sleeping habits, disrupted concen- 
tration, lack of energy or loss of 
interest in you favorite activities? 
If you have, you may be experi- 
encing depression. 

Other symptoms include social 
isolation, crying for no reason, 
feeling worthless and/or responsi- 
ble for events going on around 
you. If these symptoms apply to 
you, this Tuesday's, National 
Depression Screening Day, may 
be just what you need. 

Clarion University will be par- 
ticipating in this event by provid- 
ing information for students and 
faculty in 250/252 Gemmell 
Student Center from 10 a.m. to 12 
p.m., and 2 to 4 p.m. 

Pamphlets containing informa- 
tion on depression symptoms, 
possible treatments, and other 
important facts about this disease 
will be distributed. 



Students who are concerned 
about a friend or loved one's 
behavior can also attend the 
screening and receive tips to help 
the person from counselors. 

"Students should not be afraid 
because they think they are 
depressed," said Dr. Mary Ann 
Fricko, chairperson of the depart- 
ment of counseling services. 
"They should know that they can 
receive help whether they are 
mild, moderately, or severely 
depressed," 

The most common types of 
depression for college students 
are situational, biological and 
genetically orientated. 

A break up in a relationship is 
an example of situational depres- 
sion. Biological depression can 
be caused by a disease, such as 
mono as well as others. 
Genetically orientated may occur 
if family members have experi- 
enced depression. 

"You should express your con- 
cerns even if they are not severe 



now, before you may have a prob- 
lem later in life," said Fricko. 

The Counseling Center is open 
year round to students who may 
have depression concerns or other 
problems that they feel they 



Students should not 
be afraid because they 
think they are 
depressed. 99 

-Mary Ann Fricko 



should share with a professional 
counselor. 

Fricko further explains that this 
is the only time in the students 
lives where this service is free. It 
is strictly confidential and these 
services will not appear on uni- 
versity records. 

"We are seeing more stress and 
anxiety in students since 
September 11, 2001 terrorist 



attacks," said Fricko. 

Due to these events of the past 
year, anxiety and post-traumatic 
stress disorder have been added to 
the list of screenings for the day. 

Fricko further explains that a 
traumatic incident in one's life, 
such as a sexual assault, may 
result in symptoms such as 
depression and nightmares. An 
anxiety disorder can include 
always being worried; experienc- 
ing panic attacks are closely relat- 
ed to depression. 

The center offers group coun- 
seling and a new group forming 
this semester is the returning 
adult women support group. 

The counseling center also pro- 
vides career counseling through 
their Discover program, which 
helps students find interests that 
may fit a potential career. 

For further information on any 
of the services the Counseling 
Center provides, call 393-2255 or 
stop by the office in 1485 Egbert 
Hall.

Professor speaks in California 



by Amy Thompson 
Clarion CalJ Editor-in-Chief 

Dr. Dilnawaz Siddiqui, profes- 
sor in the department of commu- 
nication, presented "Global 
Conversations: Cultural Politics" 
at the University of California at 
Berkley in September. 

Scholars from all over the 
world attended the one day con- 
ference to discuss globalization 
which is one of three worldwide 
trends. The other two trends 
include revolution in reformative 
technology and privatization of 
various economies, Siddiqui 
said. 

Siddiqui's presentation entailed 
how the globalization movement 
is being perceived by people of 
various nations and cultures. 

"All of these trends have both 
their functional and disfunctional 
aspects," Siddiqui said. 

According to Siddiqui, global- 
ization is welcomed in develop- 
ing countries as it is seen as an 
opportunity for developed and 
developing countries to engage 
in free trade. 

"This indicates their desire not 
to remain dependent on foreign 
aid from developed countries," 
Siddiqui said. 

However, there is some concern 
with globalization, Siddiqui 
explained. 

"They (developing countries) 



perceive it as the desire of the 
developed countries to integrate 
the economies of poor nations 
from their ulterior motive of con- 
trolling their natural resources of 
the less developed countries," 
Siddiqui explained. 

Developing countries also see 
globalization as a threat to their 
"national sovereignty," Siddiqui 
said. 

"It is the governments of the 
less developed countries that are 
regarded rightly or wrongly as 
the protectors of their interests of 
the underprivelaged sector of 
their population," he said. 

Siddiqui said there is a fear that 
less developed countries aren't 
ready to compete on an equal 
plane with the industrially and 
organizationally developed coun- 
tries. 

Siddiqui said it is imperative 
for developed countries to allevi- 
ate these fears by respecting 
international organizations. 

"The less developed countries 
are concerned that they will again 
become raw material suppliers to 
the industrialized world and their 
populations will be used as cheap 
labor. At the same time, the 
worker communities in devel- 
oped countries are also afraid of 
losing their jobs to human inten- 
sive countries by which only a 
few rich corporations will bene- 
fit." Siddiqui said.

EDITORIAL, STEPH DEFLORENTIS 



'« Athletics- The Whole Story" 



I wasn't sure what I wanted to 
write about for my editorial until 
Wednesday afternoon when I 
attended my 2 p.m. communica- 
tion class. 

I went to class as I normally do 
on Monday and Wednesday, but 
this Wednesday was different, it 
was a game day, the Lady Eagles 
Soccer team vs. California 
University. 

Being a game day, I would have 
to explain to my professor how I 
would need to leave class early to 
get to the pre-game team meeting. 
He kindly responded with a "No 
problem," and I went along to 
have a seat only to hear some jerk 
from the back say, "I wish I was 
an athlete so I could get special 
treatment." 

I immediately turned around 



just to see it was the same jerk 
who not only makes cracks on my 
team, but other sports teams at 
Clarion University and mind you, 
he doesn't look like he could kick 
a soccer ball or throw a football to 
save his life. 

So, I just shot him "the look" 
and turned back around. It hon- 
estly didn't really bother me until 
later in the day when I started to 
think about it more and more. 

It wasn't the first time I had 
heard a comment like that before 
and frankly I hear it more and 
more these days. 

Everything from "Athletes get 
to skip classes," to "Athletes 
don't have to work hard to get 
A's," to "Professors let us slack 
off cause they feel bad." 

Well, I'm not sure where ath- 



OPtflltON 

letes get this treatment, but you 
sure won't find them at Clarion. 

In fact, student-athletes have to 
work 10 times harder. 

I am not saying we should be 
commended in any way for play- 
ing a sport because there are hun- 
dreds of students throughout cam- 
pus who work very hard to do 
well in school. What I am saying 
is student athletes have to work 
harder at their job inside the 
classroom to even get a chance to 
work at their jobs on the field or 
court. 

We have grade and credit 
requirements we have to achieve 
before we can even put on a cleat 
or helmet. We have grade checks 
every two weeks where we have 
to get each of our professors to 
sign a card with our progress in 
the class and if you think we can 
forge grades, we can't. 

Grades are sent to our Associate 
Athletic Director Marie Scovron 
every week and if you fall below 
in grade or credit requirements, 
you can be sure you'll be contact- 
ed, even if you're en route to a 
game or meet. 

And if you think we like miss- 
ing classes, we don't. Not only 
do we fall behind, but also it is 
more work for us to make up. 
And if you think we get all our 
absences excused, we don't. 

Yeah, we're supposed to be

"ALF- Past and Present" 



What is it about Clarion? I talk 
about my four years at Clarion with 
such fondness that people wonder 
how I ever left. 



Clarion that I couldn't stop! 

After I had all the ideas written 
down, I looked for the one thing 
that tied all my favorite things 



I ask myself that very question! about Clarion together. Of course, 
Clarion is more than the university it was ALF. 



- it's a town full of traditions! One 
of my favorite traditions is the 
Autumn Leaf Festival. 

Other schools have "homecom- 
ing," but ALF is more than just a 
parade and a football game to 
Clarion University students past 
and present. Homecoming in 



When I started at Clarion 10 years 
ago, I had no idea what the tradi- 
tion of ALF would come to mean 
to me. 

It's funny to think about ALFs 
from the past. Each year is different 
from the one before.

Clarion is a weeklong event, cele- ties during ALF went from hitting a

the most beautiful foliage in this finding a donuts & daiquiris break- 
half of the state, fast Saturday morning to finding 
When I was asked to submit the time to pomp the parade float 
something for this column, I started all week and get to the parade line- 
writing with a fury! I had so many up Saturday morning on time. I 
things I wanted to say about thought I was having the time of 

my life. I had no idea the best was 
yet to come. 

Autumn Leaf Festivals as a 
Clarion alumna are completely dif- 
ferent experiences. 

Instead of blowing off Friday 
classes during ALF, I have to 
request vacation time to make sure 
I get to Clarion in time for the Craft 
Show. Heading to the Loomis 
Saturday night of ALF instantly 
became a tradition when I turned 
21, but this year I'm starting a new 
tradition - the house party (which is 
different than a student house party 
- we're calmer now and no one's 
worried about getting busted!). 

No matter which Autumn Leaf 
traditions I follow, the student or 
the alumna traditions, there's one 
constant: friends! 

Whether I'm spending time with 
the friends I stay with, the friends I 
meet for the parade, or the friends 
with whom I lost touch over the 
years and just happen to run into at 
the Tavern Saturday morning, the 
tradition is the same. ALF is for 
hanging out with your friends, past 
and present. It's what keeps me 
coming back every year. Well, that, 
and Vinny's "buck a slice!"

Letter to the Editor 

Dear Editor, 

Central Blood Bank will be hosting a drive 
Oct. 15, 2002 at the Gemmell Multi-Purpose 
Room. The drive will tke place from 10 a.m. to 
3 p.m. 

As an alumni of Clarion University, I can tell 
you that Clarion is a large contributor to com- 
munity services and this is a great way to con- 
tinue that tradition. 

You can save three lives with every donation. 



I - ■ - ' -. ■ . ■■■■' ' . '■ 



We take the donation and use platelets, plasma 
and red blood cells to help patients everyday. 

You don't get the chance to often to become 
a hero, but simply taking about an hour of your 
day to donate, you can also become a hero who 
can last forever. 

Central Blood Bank also sponsors a scholar- 
ship program. Last year we gave $95,000 to 
high schools and higher education institutions. 

Your donation will help Clarion University 
compete with other PSAC schools like 



Slippery Rock University, Indiana University 
of Pensylvania and California University for 
part of that scholarship money. 

I encourage you to help out the blood supply 
and stop by the drive. I look forward to seeing 
you.

Editorial! Sports Editor tells the story of the life of the stu- 
dent athelete, from Page 7. 



excused for athletic competitions 
but that can only go so far with 
some professors when you start to 
miss four or five classes. 

So now you might be wondering 
why we even play. Well, it is sim- 
ple- some of us wouldn't be get- 
ting an education, if it weren't for 
sports. 

Scholarship money pays for 
many athletes' education and 
some of us might not be able to 
afford the tuition without the help. 

So between the five to six cours- 
es we carry, we have practices, 
games, weight lifting, meetings, 
study tables and film watching 
which adds up to a minimum of 
30 hours per week. This 30 hours 
per week takes away from our 
studying, but somewhere along 
the lines we still have to cram in 
the studying because if we don't, 
we don't play. 

And were a smart group of stu- 



dents too. We don't just cheat off 
the nerd, I mean academically 
inclined student, who might sit 
next to us in computer class. 

Clarion University has the high- 
est percentage of scholar athletes 
in the entire PSAC, which means 
we have the highest percentage of 
student athletes with a GPA of 
3.25 or higher and we have for 
five straight years. 

So, next time you think about 
making a comment about student 
athletes having it easier than the 
rest, (yeah even you in my com- 
munication class), stop and think 
about what we do and if you could 
do it too. 

Hey, maybe it wouldn't hurt to 
come out and actually watch a 
game sometime? 

So, in closing to all my fellow 
Clarion athletes and especially my 
girls on the soccer team, two 
words for you.. .GO EAGLES!

June, Earthtime, and No On 
15, rocked the audience. 

The Music Marketing 
Association brought these 
bands to Clarion to rock the 
stage for just $3 per person. 
And rock is exactly what the 
bands did. 

Moose Knuckles took their 
spot as the first band on stage. 

Although this group was not 
listed on the flyer, they made 
their appearance even without 
two of their members. Moose 
Knuckles played a seven-song 
set, with a mixture of songs. 
"Jock," "Show Business," and 
"Boxcar" are just three exam- 
ples of the songs they played. 

Although the drums at a few 



points drowned out the lead 
singer and the guitars, which 
were played by Ryan, Nate, 
and T.J., the audiences feet 
could still be seen tapping to 
the beat. 

Looking For June was the 
second band to play. Looking 
For June took the stage with 
band members, Pat Lang, bass 
and lead vocals; Jon Preston, 
drums and back up vocals; 
Nick Camoniti, guitar and 
vocals; and with a little help 
from Steve the roadie. 

Emo and Punk was the style 
this Altoona based band pre- 
ferred. Looking For June 
played a 14-song set, and cov- 
ered songs by New Found 
Glory, "Hit or Miss," and by 
Blink 182, "What's My Age 
Again." 

Although this is only their 
second show, Looking For 
June filled in the rest of their 
set with original songs off of 
their newly released self titled 
CD. "Time," "Regret," and 
"Don't Break My Heart," are 
three original songs the band 



referred to. These songs were 
chosen to show just how well 
prepared they really were for 
their Clarion debut. 

Looking For June's lively 
performance on stage used 
jokes and simple slapstick 
humor to get audiences atten- 
tion. 

This newcomer band used 
awesome punk rock vocals, 
outstanding guitar talent, and a 
drummer that not only didn't 
wear a shirt but also never 
missed a beat to put on a great 
show. 

With a professional quality 
to their sound and the audi- 
ence's reactions to their per- 
formance, Looking For June 
might just be the next band to 
look out for. 

Clarion's own Earthtime 
were next to show the audi- 
ence what they could do. 

With band members Jonathan 
Engle, guitar and vocals; Greg 
Vogeley, bass and vocals; and 
fill-in Billy Henry, for Luke 
Zacherl on Drums. 

Although Earthtime's stage 



performance seemed to power 
up as the show progressed, you 
could definitely see they were 
a crowd favorite. 

Billy did a wonderful job 
filling in and making people 
believe that he was almost an 
original member. 

Although the vocals and bass 
guitar at times could not be 
heard, this didn't stop the 
crowd from going crazy. 

Playing mostly all original 
songs off their soon-to-debut 
album, their 14-song set was a 
smash with the audience. 
Original songs included 
"Lies," "Slut," and 

"Hopeless." 

Although the crowd's atten- 
tion was diverted one time 
during Earthtime's set by a 
streaking, yes streaking, mem- 
ber of No On 15, the band 
seemed to have as good of a 
time as the crowd did. 

No On 15 took their place as 
the evenings last band. With 
band members Joey Lenze, 
guitar and vocals; Greg 
Mudzinski, bass and vocals; 



Jeremy Myers, vocals, trum- 
pet, and trombone; Ryan 
Miller, trumpet and trombone; 
Cory Smith, sax, and Carlin 
Brown, drums, the stage was 
just as full as the front row. 

With a 14-song set, vulgari- 
ties on many different levels 
and complete crowd enjoy- 
ment, No On 15 was a hit. 

With an opening interlude of 
Ozzy, and a closing St. Mary's 
favorite of the song "Straub," 
these hardcore rockers put 
everything they had on the 
stage. 

An amazingly fun perfor- 
mance was only over done by 
the quality at which the band 
performed. Professionalism 
was left at home and the only 
thing there was to do was have 
a good time. Other than a fly- 
ing mouthpiece from one of 
the trombones the show went 
flawlessly. 

Great crowd and band partic- 
ipation, and fun all around, 
lead the evening that opened 
on a great note to close on one 
as well. 



Looking For June 

Though Clarion marked only their second show thus far, 
the pop punk trio, Looking For June has the potential to 
aspire to a Drive-Thru Records band like those they so 
greatly admire. Some favorites and influences include New 
Found Glory, Blink 182, Alister, Midtown and Green Day 

From Altoona, Pa, the band consists of four teenage guys 
and one more to be added. Pat Lang plays bass guitar and 
sings lead vocal. Jon Preston on drums, Nick Caminiti on 
lead guitar, and the two on back up vocals complete the set. 
Looking For June has recorded an album titled "Five 
Ways to Say Goodbye... and One for the Road." Purchase 
the album for only five bucks, via the band's web page. Six 
tracks make the recording, including the songs "I'm Sorry," 
"Regret" and "Time," which are accessible through 
MP3.com. 

Song subjects range from girls to relationships and mak- 
ing something in between. The song "I'm Sorry" sings, 
"another falling star and all I can wish is for you" and tells 
about being in love, feeling sorry and wanting to make it up 
to her. 

For more information or to invest in their album, check 
out Looking For June's website 

www.lookingforjune.s5.com. 



Earthtime 

Earthtime consists of music business majors Jonathon 
Engel on guitar and vocals, Luke Zacherl on drums and 
backing vocals and Greg Vogeley on bass and vocals. They 
started here in Clarion shortly after the events on Sept. 1 1 , 
2001 and have been together for approximately one year. 

Engel, Zacherl and Vogeley met through their musical 
interests and their brotherhood in the fraternity Phi Mu 
Alpha. Engel is a junior guitar major from St. Mary's, PA 
Zacherl is from the Clarion area and also the Pennsylvania 
Grand Champion Fiddler. Low brass major Vogeley comes 
from Philadelphia. 

An Evening with Earthtime, a new recording, will be 
released shortly and contains twelve tracks. The song "Me 
& My Hoodie" has received airplay on the campus radio 
station 91.7 WCUC. 

Earthtime sounds like a garage band with punk rock influ 
ences like Bouncing Souls, The Ramones, Green Day and 
Bigwig. In fact, their song "Me & My Hoodie" heavily 
reflects the sound of Bigwig, a New Jersey punk band. 

Earthtime is a punk trio of three guys who like music, 
girls and have fun performing. For more information check 
out Earthtime's website at http://listen.to/earthtime, or 
email the band at earthtime@hotmail.com. 



No On 15 

According to the members of No On 15, a horn sec 
tion doesn't make a band ska-punk. No On 15 is a rock 
band with a brass section that originated in State 
College, Pa. The current line up consists of Joey Lenze 
on guitar, Greg Mudzinski on bass guitar, Jeremy Myers 
and Ryan Miller on trumpet and -trombone, Cory Smith 
on alto saxophone and Carlin Brown on drums. The 
members have changed since the band started in April 
1998. 

Since then, they have released three albums, all 
through Jump Start Records. Their self-titled album 
debuted in November 1998, shortly followed by a mid- 
west and northeast tour of the states in 1999. No On 15 
split their second album with Straightlegged Kick and 
released it in June of 2000, succeeded by a tour in 
Canada. October 30, 2001 marks No On 15's most recent 
album with "Even a Trained Monkey Can Do It" CD EP, 
which includes a cover of the song "99 Red Balloons." 

No On 15 performed at Clarion University last May 
for the "Cinco de Mayo Punk Style" celebration. Other 
bands included Honin, My Cousin Walter and Punchline.

On-15.com, including upcoming shows and recent news.

Carolyn and Carissa Movie Review 



Red Dragon doesn't silence Hannibal fens 



by Carolyn Kelley and Carissa Rosati 
Clarion Call Staff Writers 



Carolyn as a movie fan . . . 



Hannibal the Cannibal is back in 
Red Dragon. Well, he's not really 
back; he's in the beginning where 
the story all began. 

We meet up with Dr. Lector right 
before he is captured by FBI agent 
Will Graham (played by Edward 
Norton, Fight Club). 

If you are planning on this prequel 
giving you insight on how Dr. 
Hannibal Lector became a cannibal, 
this is not the movie you are expect- 
ing. 

I call this Silence of the Lambs II. 
Only there is no Jodie Foster talking 
to the caged forensic psychologist ~ 
it's Edward Norton. 

Ok, getting back on track, this 
thriller takes another look into the 
sick twisted minds of murderers. 
Will Graham, after locking away Dr. 
Lector, retires from the FBI to live 
in Florida with his wife and son. 

Several years later Graham is vis- 
ited by Jack Crawford (Harvey 
Keitel, Little Nicky). This fellow 
FBI agent tries to get Graham's help 
on catching a new killer on the loose 
that has a gruesome way of killing 
his victims. 

Of course, Graham accepts the 



offer and he dives full throttle into 
the case. 

With numerous dead ends, 
Crawford talks Graham into seeking 
help from the only person that has 
the deranged mindset to help: 
Hannibal Lector. 

From here the movie really begins. 
Our needs as audience members to 
see grisly images are met. This 
movie does a great job feeding our 
expectations for a further glimpse 
into the great mind of Dr. Hannibal 
Lector. 

None of this would be possible if 
not for the great cast. Anthony 
Hopkins never fails to frighten the 
audience with just the simple look in 
his eyes. In all three of the Hannibal 
movies, he is so believable as a psy- 
chopath that we tend to believe that 
is the real him. 

Edward Norton is just a terrific 
well-rounded actor that binds this 
movie together. 

If you are looking for a good 
thriller and are not an expert on the 
other movies in this series, then Red 
Dragon is for you. If you get queasy 
by the sight of blood, then stay at 
home.

Anthony Hopkins again takes on his signature role as the psychotic cannibalis- 
tic genius, Dr. Hannibal Lector in Red Dragon, the prequel to Silence of the 
Lambs and Hannibal. 



Carissa as Hannibal Lector expert . 

The prequel movie Red Dragon, based on 
the 1981 Thomas Harris novel, just did not 
add up to The Silence of the Lambs or 
Hannibal. 

As a Hannibal movie fan, I was quite disap- 
pointed. The storyline was more involved with 
the lives of FBI agent, Will Graham's (Edward 
Norton) and the psycho-maniac, the Tooth 
Fairy, Francis Dolarhyde's (Ralph Fiennes) 
rather than Hannibal Lector. 

1 thought that this movie was supposed to be 
about what led Hannibal to becoming a killer 
and explain a little more about his life before 
he was imprisoned. It wasn't. 

In The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal, 
Dr. Hannibal Lector (Anthony Hopkins) had a 
certain personality characteristic that seemed 
to make the audience sympathize with him. 

Yes, he was always a madman, and I defi- 
nitely would not like to join him for dinner; 
however, he had manners to a certain extent. 
What I mean is that he respected people who 
respected themselves and others. 

Hannibal Lector never attacked or harmed 
anyone who he thought was a good person, 
and the audience liked that about him. The 
audience also seemed to dislike all of the vic- 
tims that Hannibal chose for various reasons. 
In the movie Hannibal, no one liked Ray 
Liotta's character (he was the FBI agent that 
always gave Clarise a hard time). In fact, I 
must say that I was glad that he got his brains 
eaten. 

In this movie, however, Hannibal does not 
have this same personality characteristic. He 



is ruthless and has no remorse. 

In the other two movies, he would not have 
jeopardized an innocent family's life. 

Throughout the movie, Dr. Hannibal Lector 
tries to guide Will Graham to the characteris- 
tic the victims had in common. Well, I still do 
not know what that characteristic is. 

'I just thought there would be a little more 
brain-twisting when it came time to tracking 
down the killer. This is also where I think that 
the story line is lacking. 

One good thing about the movie was the act- 
ing that took place. I thoroughly enjoyed the 
actors and actresses performances. 

Edward Norton stood out in his role as Will 
Graham because his character was interesting 
and had a creative mind that helped him catch 
the serial killers. His mind thinks like 
Hannibal Lector's mind, and I liked how he 
portrayed this. 

Anthony Hopkins, of course, did an out- 
standing job playing the part of Dr. Hannibal 
Lector. I expected that because this is his third 
time around acting this role. 

Ralph Fiennes's role as Dolarhyde (the ser- 
ial killer called tooth fairy) was creepy. 

I do not think anyone else could have por- 
trayed this kind of character better. He had the 
right look, body, and creepiness to get the job 
done. 

Still, in the end, I just feel that this movie 
does not mesh well with the other two. 

It is a money hungry attempt on the produc- 
er's part to cash in one more time on the infa- 
mous Hannibal Lector.

Local artists present works at ALF 



by Sasha Connors 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



As an extra perk during ALF week, 
the Clarion County Arts Council spon- 
sors an art show and sale where artists 
from amateur to professional can 
exhibit their work. The show runs 
through Sunday, Oct. 15. The show is 
located on the lower level of the Main 
Street Senior Center. 

John Miller, President of the Clarion 
County Arts Council and artist himself, 
he said, "There were about 76 entries 
this year. Cash prizes are awarded and 
the piece that is designated 'best of 
show' wins two-hundred dollars." 

The show opened on Saturday, Oct. 5 
with a reception of approximately 50 
people. Juror, Ron Donoughe, held an 
open critique of all artists' work and 
answered questions individually. 



As a juror, Donoughe had to choose 
first, second, and third place in the 
professional, intermediate, and ama- 
teur categories. The piece chosen for 
best of show was a combination of 
found objects and fine wood working 
created by professional artist Christine 
Adams. 

The multi-medium show is open to 
the public from 10 am to 6 pm through 
Sunday. The artwork exhibited is 
impressively diverse. 

The various artworks exhibited 
include a variety of mediums and tech- 
niques, watercolors, oil paintings, dig- 
ital photography (color and black and 
white), assemblage, collage, sculp- 
tures, ceramics, printmaking, fabric 
design, and mosaic. 

There is definitely something for 
everyone. 
Also among the artists and winners of 



the show are some of Clarion 
University's very own professors and 
students. 

Professor Catherine Josyln was 
awarded third place in the professional 
artist division for her mixed media and 
printing on fabric entitled "Hampuy" 
(Native Peruvian for come back to the 
place where you've always belonged). 

Printmaking and Drawing Professor 
Kristin Powers Nowlin exhibited a 
lithography print entitled "Codes," and 
a cross-stitch piece entitled, 
"Colored/Coded." Jenny Ettinger, a 
professional printmaker and alumni of 
Clarion University, exhibited two col- 
lage prints, one silkscreen, and one a 
monotype. 

The silkscreen/collage print entitled 
"Running Scared" received an 
Honorable Mention in the professional 
category. 



Current students and art majors Scott 
Kane and Katie Landes also exhibited 
their work. Kane received an 
Honorable Mention for his digital pho- 
tograph "Iris #1." 

Landes's exquisite brushwork was 
evident in her oil paintings 
"Alone. ..Again," and "In 

Remembrance." 

The Clarion County Arts Council 
also welcomes anyone interested to 
become a member and exhibit his or 
her work. 

They are a non-profit organization 
dedicated to expanding opportunities 
to participate in the fine arts to all res- 
idents of our region. The membership 
cost for student artists is ten dollars. 

One Clarion resident commented 
ofnthe show, "This was a beautiful dis- 
play of local artisans work. 1 was glad 
to share it with my children."

DAVE BARRY 



Today we have an important art 
news update from England, or 
Great Britain, or the United 
Kingdom, or whatever they're 
calling it these days. 

As you may recall, the last time 
we checked in on the British art 
community, it had awarded a 
major art prize, plus 20,000 
pounds (about $30,000) to an 
artist named Martin Creed, for a 
work titled The Lights Going On 
and Off. It consisted of a vacant 
room in which the lights went on 
and off. 

Yes. He got thirty grand for 
that. Why? Because The Lights 
Going On and Off possesses the 
quality that your sophisticated art 
snot looks for above all else in a 
work of art, namely: No normal 
human would ever mistake it for 
art. 

Normal humans, confronted 

with a room containing only 

blinking lights, would say: 

'Where's the art? And what's 

wrong with these lights?" 

The public prefers the old-fash- 



Syndicated Writer 

ioned style of art, where you 
have some clue as to what the art 
is supposed to represent. This is 
why the Sistine Chapel frescoes 
painted by the great Italian artist 
Mike L. Angelo are so popular. 
The public is impressed because 
(1) the people in the frescoes 
actually look like people, and (2) 
Mike painted them on the ceil- 
ing. The public has painted its 
share of ceilings, and it always 
winds up with most of the paint 
in its hair. So the public consid- 
ers the Sistine Chapel to be a 
major artistic achievement, and 
will spend several minutes gaz- 
ing at it in awe and wonder ("Do 
you think he used a roller?") 
before moving on to the next 
thing on the tour, which ideally 
will be lunch. 

The public has, over the years, 
learned to tolerate modern art, 
but only to the degree that it has 
nice colors that would go with 
the public's home decor. When 
examining a modern painting, 
the public invariably pictures it 



hanging over the public's living- 
room sofa. As far as the public is 
concerned, museums should put 
sofas in front of all the paintings, 
to make it easier to judge them. 

This kind of thing drives your 
professional art snots CRAZY. 
They cannot stand the thought 
that they would like the same art 
as the stupid old moron public. 
And so, as the public has become 
more accepting of modern art, 
the art snots have made it their 
business to like only those works 
of "art" that are so spectacularly 
inartistic that the public could 
not possibly like them, such as 
The Lights Going On and Off. 

Which leads us to the latest 
development in the British art 
world. You are going to think I 
made this development up. Even 
I sometimes wonder if I made it 
up, although I know for a fact 
that I did not, because I am look- 
ing at a story about it from The 
London Telegraph. Here is the 
key sentence: 

"The Tate Gallery has paid 



22,300 pounds of public money 
for a work that is, quite literally, 
a load of excrement." 

Yes. The Tate Gallery, which is 
a prestigious British art museum, 
spent 22,300 pounds -- or rough- 
ly $35,000 - of British taxpay- 
ers' money to purchase a can con- 
taining approximately one ounce 
of an artist's very own personal ... 
OK, let's call it his artistic vision. 

The artist is an Italian named 
Piero Manzoni, who died in 
1963, but not before filling 90 
cans with his vision. According 
to the Telegraph, "The cans were 
sealed according to industrial 
standards and then circulated to 
museums around the world." 

Now if somebody were to send 
YOU a can of vision, even sealed 
according to industrial standards, 
your response would be to report 
that person to the police. This is 
why you are a normal human, as 
opposed to an art professional. 
The art museums BOUGHT it. 
The Telegraph states that, in 
addition to the Tate, both the 



Museum of Modern Art in New 
York and the Pompidou Museum 
in Paris have paid actual money 
for cans of Mr. Manzoni's vision. 
(Notice that I am tastefully 
refraining from making a joke 
involving "Pompidou.") 

Anyway, here's what I'm pictur- 
ing. I'm picturing a British citi- 
zen, a regular working guy who's 
struggling to get by on what 
money he has left after taxes. He 
wakes up one morning, grabs his 
newspaper and goes into the 
bathroom. While he's in there, he 
reads about how art snots have 
spent tax money -- more money 
than he makes in a year - on this 
"art." The guy becomes angry, 
VERY angry. He's about to hurl 
the paper down in fury, but then, 
suddenly, while sitting there... 

He has a vision. And as he 
does, it dawns on him that he has 
a golden opportunity here, a 
chance to make, at last, some 
serious money. 

I'm talking, of course, about an 
forgery.

Stadiums around the nation falling apart 



Courtesy of 
KRT Campus 



•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••< 



They are an endangered, unloved 
amalgam of brick and mortar, of nox- 
ious aroma and cacophony. And we 
must appreciate them, while we still 
can. 

One by one, these seething pits 
have disappeared from our sporting 
scene: Boston Garden, the very defi- 
nition of homecourt advantage with 
its dead floor, rowdy crowds and 
kiln-like locker rooms. Chicago 
Stadium, the loudest place on the 
planet. Municipal Stadium in 
Cleveland, oversized and overcrowd- 
ed with bees and mosquitoes. County 
Stadium in Milwaukee, a beery, 
sticky and broken-down baseball 
palace. 

Franchise owners are raising heck. 
They have used blackmail threats as 
leverage to obtain new, sterile fields 
and arenas, filled with lucrative lux- 
ury suites but absent the edgy atmos- 
phere. Nooks and crannies are 
replaced by rounded walls, or by 
phony designer nostalgia. 

College administrators, also, pre- 
fer sanitized, oversized cash genera- 
tors to the older, smaller firetraps 
with their overhanging mezzanines. 
Cole Fieldhouse? The latest pit to be 
pitted, replaced by something called 
the Comcast Center. 

There are still a few faded trea- 
sures left, though, if we look hard 
enough for them. And in their own, 



decrepit way, they are both romantic 
and refreshing. 

Ultimately, a building is measured 
by its bite. It must be a place where 
opponents dread to tread, for one 
reason or another. 

Here, by sport, are a few of the 
great concrete dinosaurs, the pits of 
The Pits: 
BASEBALL 

1. Olympic Stadium, Montreal: 
Here was a building designed with 
grand ambition, and self-delusion, by 
Parisian architect Roger Taillibert. 
For more than $1 billion, the city of 
Montreal would eventually end up 
with an inoperable, retractable roof 
(now orange, no longer blue), ugly 
turf (now AstroGrass, no longer 
AstroTurf), and a team that may or 
not exist from season to season. 

"It looks like they haven't upgrad- 
ed anything there since the Olympics 
in '76," says the Yankees' Mike 
Mussina. "Maybe since '66." 

Yes, here is an old, rusted tuna tin 
with no tuna inside. The fans have 
left the building long ago. The place 
is a ghost town, yet somebody has 
forgotten to turn out the mercury 
lamps. 

"There's nothing worse than hear- 
ing the 500 fans in there slapping 
down the empty seats to make noise," 
says the Yankees' Steve Karsay. 

There were problems from the 
beginning, when a strike by con- 
struction workers gummed the 
works. The stadium wasn't complete- 



ly finished until 1987, and by then it 
was already a sad relic. 

2. Shea Stadium: The airplanes. 
The cranked-up music. The aging 
locker rooms. Bobby Valentine com- 
plained that the home clubhouse is 
too small to house postgame meals. 
The Yankees still remember getting 
flooded out of the visitors' clubhouse 
during the Subway Series. 

3. Fenway Park, Boston: It has its 
charms, undeniably. But unlike 
Wrigley, Fenway is not structurally 
sound. And when things go wrong at 
night, we have seen the bottles fly- 
ing. Built in 1912, burned down in 
1934. When it was rebuilt the next 
year, 47,627 fans squeezed into this 
firetrap for a Yankee doubleheader. 

4. Yankee Stadium: The fans are on 
top of you, and they can be down- 
right mean. "Every pitch seems 
important," the Yankees' Derek Jeter 
says. The building itself is a classic, 
but let's not forget that ceiling beam 
that fell out of the roof a few years 
ago. 

5. Metrodome, Minneapolis: The 
prototype of a poorly planned dome 
stadium. Its Teflon-coated fiberglass 
makes it look like a land-locked 
blimp. The roof collapsed in 1983 
from the weight of snow. 
NFL 

1. Veterans Stadium, Philadelphia: 
One last season to grump about this 
place, before the Eagles move to the 
sterile confines of Lincoln Financial 
Field. 



The Vet field has been upgraded, 
from unbearable to simply bad, with 
a NeXturf surface. But the fans are 
as miserable as ever. Phi I ly authori- 
ties opened a courtroom underneath 
the stadium years ago just to book 
unruly spectators. 

These are the same spectators who 
came to the dedication of the place 
more than 30 years ago to boo the 
name (they wanted, "Philadium .") In 
1983, they beat up the unofficial 
mascot of the Redskins so badly, 
Zema Williams won a $14,250 settle- 
ment from stadium security. 

Voted the "worst field in the 
league" many times by the NFL 
Players Association. A railing col- 
lapsed during an Army-Navy game. 

"When I was in college, The Vet 
was just some place you wanted to 
finish the game and go home," the 
Eagles' Donovan McNabb says. Still 
is. 

2. Network Associates Coliseum, 
Oakland: Halloween every Sunday, 
with abusive fans raging in aging 
stadium opened in 1966. 

3. Lambeau Field, Green Bay: Built 
in 1957 for less than $1 million. The 
place is fine. The fans are fun. But 
it's the weather. Not a fun place to 
play in December. 

4. Ralph Wilson Stadium, Buffalo: 
Like Lambeau, only snowier. 

5. 3Com Park, San Francisco: Wind 
alone is good enough to nip deterio- 
rating Texas Stadium for fifth.

Washington and Moss attend 
statewide S.A.A.C conference 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

Recently Student Athlete 
Advisory Committee 

President Tamkea Washington 
and S.A.A.C member Jared 
Moss traveled to a statewide 
PSAC Student Athlete 
Advisory Committee confer- 
ence at Lock Haven 
University. Faculty Athletic 
Representative Dr. Kevin 
Roth also attended the confer- 
ence. 

The conference featured two 
student- athlete representa- 
tives from each S.A.A.C from 
the fourteen PSAC schools 
along with their faculty athlet- 
ic representative. These two 
representatives, one male and 



one female, are elected by 
their own student-athlete com- 
mittees at their respective 
institutions. 

The main objective of the 
conference is to bring together 
ideas from each S.A.A.C, and 
collaborate those ideas with 
other athletes to see what is 
being done on other campuses 
in the state school system. 

The conference also gives 
each indivdual committee new 
ideas to take back to their 
schools and athletes as well as 
let them share what they have 
been doing. 

The conference also featured 
discussion on such topics as 
NCAA Regional Leadership 
Conferences, the production 
of a PSAC Informational 



Video for student-athletes, the 
start of a PSAC S.A.A.C web- 
site and the planning for the 
PA State System Common 
Academic Calender. 
The faculty athletic represen- 
tatives (FAR) dealt mostly 
with the legislative part of the 
conference. They discussed 
and voiced concerns about 
student-athletes from a faculty 
standpoint as well proposed 
rules from the NCAA. 

"I thought the most benefi- 
cial part of this conference 
was getting together and find- 
ing out what's going on in 
other S.A.A.C," said 

Washington. "It's neat to see 
the comradene, yet rivalry 
between rival schools in the 
PSAC," she added.

In light of Clarion's recent 
athletic success in nearly all 
of the fall sports, more and 
more people are beginning to 
familiarize themselves with 
Golden Eagle athletics. 

More fans fill the bleach- 
ers now than I've witnessed 
in years. Members from mul- 
tiple athletic branches in the 
university spend their 
evenings and weekends sup- 
porting their friends from 
other Clarion University 
sports teams. 

Believe it or not, an 
improved environment such 
as this can actually aid our 
sports teams in claiming vic- 
tories, and coming out on top 
in the toughest of matches. 

In past seasons, near 
empty spectator areas encir- 
cled our struggling athletes 
like a ring of negativity. The 
lack of patronage created an 
apathetic atmosphere and' 
soon, nearly all of the teams 
felt unappreciated by their 
peers. 

This, in time, affected per- 
formance, and the cycle of 
pessimism continued. If a 
team lost, less people would 
go support them during their 
next match, and if less fans 
filled the stands, the teams 
sunk deeper into the hole. 

Reversing the downward 
spiral requires support from 



all sides of the spectrum, but 
begins with the athletes 
themselves. This takes a sig- 
nificant amount of courage 
and pride from a partici- 
pant's standpoint. Feeling 
confident despite the fact 
that the bleachers stand 
empty requires valor. 

This sounds petty, but peo- 
ple are sheep that fear fol- 
lowing or supporting non- 
productive teams and lead- 
ers. Often times, people 
hang back in the shadows 
and wait for a team to make 
a drastic move before com- 
mitting themselves as fans. 

Nobody wants to lose, and 
although fans do not actually 
play, they too feel the emo- 
tions of victories and losses. 
With this in mind, athletes 
now take on the challenge of 
winning and building an 
audience friendly reputation. 
Multiple victories and 
winning streaks always 
attract a crowd, but it's not 
as simple as it sounds. 
People want to cheer for the 
strongest team, and often 
flock to the best of the best 
But this is not the only way 
to win fans. 

A team must show unity 
and inner pride. It always 
seems that the teams with 
the most fans, are the ones 
that need them the least. If a 
team displays strength and 
confidence without the back- 
bone of a crowd, it shows 
their independence. 

This, in turn, attracts even 
more supporters. Believe it 
or not, this strange cycle 
really works. 

Clarion athletes have just 
started to reverse the spiral 
to the upward direction, and 
they began this task within 
the teams themselves. 
Confident leaders and true 
unity continue to pave the 
way to future success, as 
more supporters file into 
facilities. 

Hopefully, this turn in the 
tables remains for the dura- 
tion of the season and 
through rocky times yet to 
come.

56-0 victory as they take care of IUP 



by Ashley Good 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••A* 

This past sunday, the Clarion Women's 
Rugby Team traveled to Indiana University 
of Pennsylvania for the second round of 
their Midwest Division I schedule. 

From the start of the match the Clarion 
women were in control. Prop Ellen 
Palermo began the scoring with a 20 meter 
run up the sideline breaking several 
attempted tackles to put the Lady Eagles 
up 5-0. 

Scrum-Half Steph Sherant made the con- 
version kick after it deflected forward off 
the crossbar to put Clarion up 7-0. 
Minutes later, after a second drive deep 
into IUP territory, Steph Sherant quickly 
picked the ball off the base of the ruck to 
dive across the try line and put Clarion up 
12-0. 

Forwards Julie Rengers and Karen Pentz 
also got involved in the scoring early on in 
the first half. 



Pentz took a ball off the base of the ruck 
to dive in for the try and Rengers broke 
several tackles using her spin move to 
score. 

The remaining minutes of the first half 
saw Clarion's centers breaking big runs for 
tries. Inside Center Casey Onyshko got 
the ball on the outside and used her inside 
cut to break the attempted tackles from 
IUP and ran in for a 60 meter try. 

Outside Center Becky Kukla also scored 
from the midfield by breaking through the 
IUP defensive line with great pace to score 
for the Lady Eagles. 

Clarion ended the first half leading 34-0. 
The second half was much like the first 
with Clarion owning possession of the 
ball. The few offensive attacks IUP was 
able to manage were quickly shut down 
with solid tackling on the Clarion side of 
the ball. 

Eight minutes into the second half, 
Clarion was forced to play one player short 
after a high tackle was called against Lock 



Jess Dudczak placing her in the "sin bin" 
for 10 minutes. 

Minutes later an IUP forward was penal- 
ized for the same infraction equaling the 
penalties. Clarion finished the second 
half with tries from Karen Pentz (her sec- 
ond of the match), Winger Lisa Koerlbel, 
Lock Kimmie Welling, and Flanker Jen 
Drnach. 

Sherant hit two more conversion kicks 
on the day and Drnach added one. By the 
end of regulation, Clarion scored ten unan- 
swered tries leading to a 56 - victory. 

In B-side action, Clarion would win their 
match against the IUP B-side 19-0. Try 
scorers were Jen Drnach, Lisa Koerlbel, 
and rookie Shelia Horst scored on her first 
try as member of the Rugby team. Drnach 
made two of three conversion kicks in the 
match 

The Clarion Women's Rugby team will 
play Slippery Rock University at home this 
weekend. Match time is set for 1:30 p.m.

Golden Eagles fell to IUP in PSAC matchup; 28-14 



Courtesy of 
Sports Information 



Indiana QB Brian Eyerman tossed 
three touchdown passes and Clarion 
lost three critical fumbles, two in the 
fourth quarter, in helping IUP to a 
hard-fought 28-14 win over Clarion. 

A Homecoming Day crowd of 6,087 
at George P. Miller Stadium watched 
the Indians up their overall record to 
5-1 and 1-0 in the PSAC-West, while 
Clarion dropped to 3-2 overall and 0- 
1 in the PSAC-West. 

The Indians broke a 14-14 tie at 
halftime on their first possession of 
the third quarter. The Indians drove 
43 yards in only three plays and 
scored on a 38-yard pass play from 
Eyerman to Carmelo Ocasio. 

Clarion fumbled away two 
"Golden" opportunities to tie the 
game in the fourth quarter. Early in 
the fourth the Eagles drove from their 
own 22 to the IUP 12 and had a first 
down. 

Tailback Robert Walker broke out- 
side right heading toward paydirt 
when at the IUP three Kairi Cooper 
caused Walker to fumble the pigskin 
and teammate Walt Mosteller recov- 
ered at the Indian five. 

After Clarion's defense held, the 
offense started its next drive with 
great field position on the IUP 41. On 
first down Clarion backup Qb Frantz 
Charles broke through the IUP 
defense for a 17-yard run to the IUP 
24. 

On his way to the turf he was ruled 
to have fumbled and IUP's Walt 
Mosteller again recovered the Eagle 
fumble nixing another scoring oppor- 
tunity. 

Two possesions later, IUP closed 
out the scoring to secure the win. IUP 
went 66 yards on nine plays including 
a perfectly executed post-pattern 
between Eyerman and LeRon McCoy 
with only 4:50 remaining in the con- 
test. 

"It was a typical hard-hitting 
Clarion - IUP game," said Clarion 
head coach Malen Luke. "We were 
right there, but those two fumbles in 



the fourth quarter turned the momen- 
tum their way. You just can't have 
turnovers in big games like this. They 
always come back to haunt you. Our 
job now is to go back, get the team 
back on track, and try to win out." 

Clarion, who entered the game with 
the third ranked rushing offense in 
the nation at 298 yards, managed 224 
yards on 44 attempts, plus 57 passing 
yards for a total offense of 281. 

Brandon Sweeney led the Eagles 
with 83 yards on ten carries, while 
Charles had 64 yards and one touch- 
down on 13 carries and Robert 
Walker gained 34 yards and one 
touchdown on 11 tries. Adam 
Almashy gained 13 yards on five car- 
ries and now has 989 career rushing 
yards. 

Jabari Weatherspoon led the Eagle 
defense with 14 tackles, three QB 
sacks, four tackle for losses, two 
fumbles caused and one interception. 
Scott McGrady had seven hits, two 
fumble recoveries and one sack. 

IUP was led by Elice Parker who 
gained 129 yards on 18 tries, and 
Aaron Cooper who had 110 yards on 
1 1 carries. 

Eyerman hit on 12 of 19 passes for 
197 yards and 3 touchdowns, but was 
sacked 5 times. 

Clarion jumped out to a 7-0 lead 
when the Eagles took the opening 
kickoff and drove 80-yards on seven 
plays. Brandon Sweeney keyed the 
drive with carries of 23 and 41 yards. 
Walker capped the drive with a 3- 
yard run at 12:15 of the first quarter 
and Chris Carlton's PAT gave the 
Eagles a 7-0 lead. 

After Clarion's Jabari Weatherspoon 
intercepted Eyerman pass on IUP's 
first possession and returned the 
pigskin to the Indian 20, the Eagles 
had a golden opportunity to get a 
two-score lead. But IUP's defense 
held the Eagles on downs. 

IUP tied the game in the second 
quarter on a defensive score. The 
Eagles Robert Walker fumbled at the 
Clarion 16, and defensive end 
Andrew Battle scooped up the pigskin 
and returned it for the game-tying td. 




Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call 

Golden Eagles work hard this week to bounce back from IUP loss in prepara- 
tion for this weekens Homecoming game. 



IUP took a 14-7 lead at 6:57 of the 
second quarter when Eyerman hit his 
first touchdown pass of the day, a 12- 
yard strike to Dave Davis. 

The Golden Eagles came back to tie 
the game before halftime on a drive 
engineered by backup QB Frantz 
Charles. During the drive Charles hit 
tight end Tom Pore on a 36-yard pass 



to the IUP five. Charles scored on the 
very next play on a five-yard run with 
only 1:24 left before intermission. 

Clarion returns home to host West 
Chester next Saturday at Memorial 
Stadium for Homecoming. Kickoff is 
set for 2 p.m. Indiana travels to 
Edinboro.

We still can't rin^our bell 



by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

The bell tower construction is 
one step closer to moving for- 
ward. The construction was 
threatened because the univer- 
sity had not received all the 
proper zoning approvals. 

A variance was granted 
Tuesday night to permit the uni- 
versity to build 20.7 feet from 
Wood Street. 

All new structures need to be 
at least 25 feet from borough- 
owned property. 

However, the zoning board 
did not grant the university two 
variances for the retaining wall 



and a sign being constructed 
along Wood Street. 

"The retaining wall and sign 
are built on my client's proper- 
ty without my client's consent," 
said H. Ray "Terry" Pope, legal 
counsel for the borough. 

According to Pope, the right- 
of-way (Wood Street) is proper- 
ty owned by the borough. 

Pope said there has been no 
written agreement or option to 
sell the property to the 
Commonwealth of 

Pennsylvania, which owns the 
property on which Clarion 
University sits. 

Because Clarion University 
does not own this property, a 



license agreement must be 
obtained before a variance can 
be granted, Pope explained. 

During the hearing, Pope said 
that both the members of the 
zoning board and Clarion 
University representatives were 
aware of regulations concern- 
ing construction in the borough. 
"It's not like I've sand- 
bagged you," Pope told the zon- 
ing board. 

Pope said he didn't believe 
Clarion University's represen- 
tatives proved that the Clarion 
Zoning Ordinance regulations 
created a hardship for them to 
us its (the Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania's) property. 




Library dedication 




Courtney Shirey/The Clarion Call 

Gray skies didn't halt the Carlson Library dedication and ribbon cutting cere- 
mony as Clarion University President Diane Reinhard and a host of other guest 
speakers stood outside of the newly reconstructed building at 9 a.m., Oct. 12. 



Aesthetic considerations do 
not qualify as a hardship, espe- 
cially in the cases of the retain- 
ing wall and sign, Pope said. 

After the variance requests for 
the retaining wall and the sign 
were rejected, Ken Traynor, 
zoning board chair, told the uni- 
versity representatives they 
could appeal the decision and 
request another hearing with 
the zoning board. 

The appeal can be filed after 
the university obtains a license 
agreement (permission from the 
landowner). 

University representatives in 
attendance included Paul 
Bylaska, vice president for 
finance and administration, 
Clare Heidler of facilities plan- 
ning, Jeff Feret of Ross Bianco 
Architects, and legal counsel 
Roy Powell. 

Before the hearing was con- 
ducted, Pope suggested a con- 
flict of interest might exist 
among the zoning board 
because the university employs 
board members, Traynor and 
William Sanders. 

"If everybody who worked at 
the university disengaged from 
the community, there would be 
nobody left to work," Traynor 
responded. 

Both the library and bell 
tower projects are under the 
direction of the Pennsylvania 
Department of General 
Services. 

No matter what decision is 
reached with the final vari- 
ances, most Clarion University 
students are eager to see the 
construction end. 

"I've been here for four years 
and I'm tired of construction. It 
never ends," said Julia Jackson, 
senior rehabilitative science 
major. 

"I hate the construction. It 
looks trashy," said Kristy

Students still adjusting to area desks 



by Matt May 
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor 

When students living on campus 
returned to Clarion University at 
the beginning of the fall semester, 
they were surprised to find that 
the front desks in their halls were 
vacant. 

Returning students were accus- 
tomed to seeing a desk clerk or 
resident assistant sitting at the 
desk as they entered their resi- 
dence halls and new students saw 
clerks at the desks when they vis- 
ited before the fall. Now the 
seven front desks have been con- 
sulted into two newly built Area 
Desks to handle students' needs. 

The 24-hour Area Desks locat- 
ed in Nair and Campbell Hall 
handle the needs of all residents. 
The desk in Nair Hall, the North 
Area Desk, services Nair, 
Wilkinson, Ballentine, and Becht 
Halls and the desk in Campbell 
Hall, the South Area Desk, ser- 
vices Campbell, Ralston, and 
Givan Halls. 

"I would rather have the old sys- 
tem back," said Ralston Hall resi- 
dent Elicia Donze. "I feel gen- 
uinely abandoned. Like many stu- 
dents, I can't really afford to live 
off campus, and this North and 
South Area Desk business makes 
me feel like the university cares 
less about me as a student and a 
resident than perhaps they 
should." 

"It's a big change for students to 
accept," admits Michelle Kealey, 
associate director of campus life, 
about the new system. 

While Kealey admitted that 
nothing was wrong with the old 
system of each hall having its 
own desk, she explained that the 
new system is better. 

"Now all students have access 
to desks 24-hours a day," Kealey 
said. "Everything has been 
streamlined for them." 

Students can pick up packages, 
call for information or report 
problems to a single location any 



time of day. 

Students not living in Nair or 
Campbell Halls have to leave 
their dorm to pickup packages 
and to deal with issues like being 
locked out of their rooms. 

Computer labs in all the halls 
have been eliminated in favor of 
having computers available at the 
area desks. Prior to the new sys- 
tem, students did not have to 
leave their halls to access com- 
puters. 

"I just think not having front 
desks is unsafe," commented 
sophomore communication major 
Jessica Dandoy. 



It's a big change for 
students to accept. 99 

-Michelle Kealey 



Campus Life claimed improv- 
ing student safety was part of the 
reason changes were made. 

"By reducing desks and 
employees, it has allowed us to 
create a new system ... that 
includes the Student Security 
Aide program," said Kealy. 

Student Security Aides began 
patrolling the campus on Sept. 23. 
They travel in pairs from 9 p.m. - 
3 p.m. to make sure the residence 
halls are safe. 

The new system was also a 
change to student desk clerks who 
went from working daylight 
hours under the old system to 
working evening and overnight 
hours. 

Student desk clerks work from 
5:30 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. while 
house mothers operate the desk 
during the day. In the past, the 
house mothers worked all the 
overnight hours in the larger halls 
of Campbell, Nair, and 
Wilkinson. 

Michelle Kealey said that the 



house mothers now work during 
the day "to make more efficient 
use of them as clerical and sup- 
port staff and to give them more 
responsibilities such as supervi- 
sion. It's enhancing their respon- 
sibilities. We can make better use 
of their time and make them more 
productive while working day- 
light hours." 

Several desk clerks felt that they 
should be working daylight hours 
since they are college students. 

"I thought having the students 
working from 1 to 5 a.m. when 
they had 9 a.m. classes was total- 
ly ridiculous," said former North 
Area Desk Clerk, Chrystal Foster, 
after resigning. 

Foster worked at Givan Hall's 
front desk before the implication 
of the Area Desks. 

Kealey, however, felt that the 
students should be grateful for the 
positions. 

"They are working at a job 
where we allow them to do home- 
work while they are working," 
said Kealey. 

Amy Corso, a former desk clerk 
at Ralston Hall, also resigned 
from working at the South Area 
Desk because of the overnight 
hours. She claimed that college 
students need sleep during 
overnight hours because they 
have classes during the day for 
which they need to be alert. Corso 
worried about her grades drop- 
ping. 

"You can't study, first of all," 
Corso explained about overnight 
hours, "because you read a para- 
graph and forget what you just 
read because you are exhausted." 

Safety was another concern for 
Corso and other desk clerks 
working overnight hours when 
there would be a lack of witness- 
es to suspicious or hostile activity 
near the desk. The clerks were 
told to lock the desk and call 
Public Safety in these cases. 

"If someone had confronted me 
in the middle of the night, no one 
would have ever heard me," said

Area Desk. 



Corso. "If I could get to the 
phone, I might be alright ... but 
someone could easily just hop 
right over [the counter]." 

Many female desk clerks have 
claimed they've been harassed by 
intoxicated male students during 
late night hours. None of these 
occurrences have yet resulted in a 
physical altercation. 

Michelle Kealey said the desk 
clerks are safe behind the desk.

"From a safety standpoint, you 
can't tell me a 60 or 70-year-old 
woman (the house mothers) is a 
safer person to have there than a 
student." 

According to Campus Life, the 
Student Security aides and Public 
Safety officers are supposed to 
come to the area desks regularly 
during overnight hours for safety 
purposes. 

Area Desk Clerks Cheri 



McGinnis and Kate Sheranko 
said that they've never been 
checked on during overnight 
hours. 

"We are in Clarion," stressed 
Kealey. "We aren't in Oakland or 
Cleveland. We are in a low-crime 
area, and I think we need to keep 
in perspective of where we are." 

Former North Area Desk Clerk 
Ivory Smith worked as a desk 
clerk in Ballentine Hall for a year 
and a half before working at the 
Area Desk. Smith feels that 
Campus Life stopped showing 
respect for student desk clerks 
when the new system was instat- 
ed. 

"Their attitude is go ahead and 
quit, we've got 40 more applica- 
tions," said Smith. 

Pulling out a folder full of appli- 
cations, Michelle Kealey said that 
Campus Life had to stop giving 
out applications after so many 
requests. She said that this is 
proof that there are people willing 
to work the desks and the 
overnight hours. 

Campus Life said the system 
will not revert to the old system 
or reopen front desks in the resi- 
dence halls and students, includ- 
ing the desk clerks, will have to 
adjust to the new system.

C.A.B.S. program gets resurrected 



by Lisa Covington 

What are you doing next 
Saturday night? Going home 
for the weekend? Are you just 
going to sit in your room? Or 
are you going to celebrate 
Halloween with C.A.B.S.? 

Clarion's Alternative to the 
Bar Scene will begin on 
Saturday, Oct. 26 with a 
Halloween dance in Riemer 
Snack Bar. 

Students may not even rec- 
ognize the place with the cre- 
ative and festive designs that 
the sponsor. Student Senate, 
will transform the snack bar 
into. It will be an atmosphere 
for all in the Halloween spirit. 
All Clarion students are wel- 
come to wear costumes to be 
eligible to win the best cos- 
tume prize, which will be a 
single DVD and/or CD. 

Sound better than watching 
SNL on Saturday night? Many 
of the students and faculty 
that are implementing the 
weekend initiative program 
think so. 

The program will help give 
students something fun to do 
on campus during the week- 
ends. 

Director of the Office of 
Campus life Jeffery Waple has 
started the program during his 



first semester here at Clarion. 

"The University support is 
there, we are just looking for 
students to attend," said 
Waple. 

Clarion University students 
will have a chance to win 
prizes each Saturday: 

♦October 26 DVD/CD 
♦November 2 - Clarion 
sweats, hats, t-shirts, etc. 
♦November 9 - a DVD/VCR 
combination 

♦November 16 - a color televi- 
sion 

♦November 23 - a TV/VCR 
combination 

♦December 7 - a stereo with a 
CD changer 

Many college students could 
use any of the above prizes. 

Students who attend six 
dances will be eligible to win 
a free semester of books. 

Students and faculty along 
with Dr. Waple came up with 
several of these events and the 
prizes. 

Students' suggestions for 
events and prizes are wel- 
come. 

Waple explains that the 
weekend initiative program 
has interested several of the 
student organizations and 
should have been recognized a 
long time ago.

Freshman psychology major 
Melissa Evans looks forward 
to the events that will be held 
on weekends. 

"It's a good idea because it 
is something to do on the 
weekends," said Evans. 

In addition to C.A.B.S, 
Returning Adult and 

Commuting Students 

(R.A.C.S.), are sponsoring a 
60s dance on October 25. 



You can count on

Center. 99 

-Brian Hoover 



Students should come 
dressed in 60s attire. A live 
band will be playing. 
Admission is $2. 

"Student Senate is working 
hard with having the weekend 
initiative program, we want to 
build from that," said Brian 
Hoover, area coordinator of 
Campbell Hall. 

Hoover was an undergradu- 
ate at Clarion in 1990 when 
C.A.B.S. was still in effect. 

Both Waple and Hoover are 
excited that other student 
organizations have been get- 



ting involved by providing 
suggestions for the program 
such as the Black Student 
Union, Interhall Council and 
the University Activities 
Board. 

Future suggestions for this 
program will be provided by 
several students and faculty 
who will be attending a 
Weekend Initiative Program 
Conference at Penn State 
University next week. 

Waple hopes to get more 
feedback and potential ideas 
after the conference. 

Students are welcome to for- 
ward ideas to Waple and 
Hoover via email at 
jwaple@clarion.edu, and 

bhoover@clarion.edu. 

"Whatever students are 
interested in from the mild to 
the wild we are open to inves- 
tigating the possibility," said 
Waple. 

Resident Assistants, among 
others have already contacted 
Waple with suggestions and 
ideas for potential events. 

Chartwells will cater the 
weekly dances, and the theme 
will go along with the food. 

House Rockers will provide 
the music for the Halloween 
dance from 9 p.m. - 1 a.m. 

Campus Life is encouraging 
student organizations to get 
involved and sponsor a dance, 



which will involve setting up 
and removing decorations and 
advertising for the event. 

Upcoming themes will 
include a Clarion Pride night, 
a pajama party, an 80's night, 
a beach party and a holiday 
party will take place at the end 
of the semester. 

"You can count on some- 
thing going on in the Student 
Center," said Hoover.

McDonald to present program on Benedictine monks 



Courtesy of Dr. William 
Buchanan 

Paul McDonald, associate 
professor of French at the 
University of North Carolina at 
Asheville and one of the 
nation's foremost authorities in 
the field of French Benedictine 
history, will present a public 
program on the scholarly activi- 
ties of the Benedictine monks 
of the abbey of St. Germain des 
Pres. 

The program will be on 
Thursday, Oct. 24, at 3:30 p.m. 
in Hart Chapel. 

Titled "A Great Historical 
Enterprise: The Maurists, Their 
Work, Their Library," the pro- 
gram will focus on both the 
research as well as the library 
building activities undertaken 
by the monks during the 17th 
and 18th centuries. 

The program is jointly spon- 
sored by the departments of 



library science and history at 
the university. 

"The Maurists were a group 
of Benedictine monks in France 
whose center was the abbey of 
St. Germain des Pres in Paris," 
explained McDonald. "For over 
150 years they were engaged in 
a project of research, writing 
and publication that made them 
one of the great examples in 
modern times of collaborative 
scholarship." 

The Maurists were prolific 
scholars, producing histories of 
the saints, of the Benedictine 
order, of the provinces and the 
dioceses of France, of French 
literature continued McDonald. 

He noted that fundamental 
works produced by the Maurists 
form the basis of several ancil- 
lary historical sciences such as 
diplomatics and paleography. 

During the course of their 
work, said McDonald, the 
Maurists acquired manuscripts 



and texts from throughout 
Europe, building one of the 
richest libraries on the conti- 
nent. 

Transferred to the state during 
the French Revolution, the 
library of the Abbey of St. 
Germain des Pres is today one 
of the "jewels in the collections 
of the Bibliotheque Nationale," 
the national library of France. 

Author of numerous articles, 
lectures and books on the 
Maurists, McDonald holds an 
undergraduate degree in classi- 
cal languages and history from 
Manhattan College, a master's 
degree in history from Brown 
University and a doctorate in 
history from the University of 
Paris.

program contact William

Arete receives $3,882 to attend national conference 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clariq^Call News Editor 

Student Senate voted (19-0-1) 
to allocate $3,882 from its sup- 
plemental account to the organi- 
zation Arete at Monday night's 
meeting. 

Arete is an organation that 
joins honors students with other 
students in good academic stand- 
ing who have academic interests. 

There are currently 120 mem- 
bers in the organization. 

The money will be used to 
send five members to the 
National Collegiate Honors 
Conference (NCHC) in Salt 
Lake City, Utah. 

Thousands of honors students 
from around the United States 
gather at the conference to 
exchange ideas and attend pre- 
sentations. 

Arete received the 1999 
Excellence in Service award 
from Clarion University and 
completed more than 457 hours 
of service last year. 

Arete has participated in events 
such as Special Olympics, blood 



drives, the Saturday Service Day 
among many others. 

Clarion's Alternative to the Bar 
Scene (C.A.B.S.) was discussed 
in the President's report. 

C.A.B.S. was a former week- 
end program on Clarion campus. 

Every Saturday from 9 p.m. - 1 
a.m. a dance will be held in the 
Gemmell snack bar. 

Student Senate will be spon- 
soring the first dance on Oct. 26. 
The dance will have a 
Halloween theme and there will 
be a prize for the best costume. 

Director of the Office of 
Student Life Dr. Jeffrey Waple 
plans to make all students aware 
of the program. 

"There will be a media out- 
burst," said Waple. 

Marketing plans for C.A.B.S. 
include e-mails to Clarion 
University students, posters all 
around campus, table tents, etc. 
Campusfest was also discussed 
in the President's report. 

Waple calls the program "a cel- 
ebration of the year." 

Seven committees will orga-

Alcohol Awareness week will 
be in effect at Clarion during 
the week of Oct. 21-25. 

Alcohol Awareness week is an 
annual event where students 
become informed on the harm- 
fulness and risks of alcohol. 

Students, faculty and staff are 
welcome to take part in the 
campus-wide event. 

Darlene Hartle assistant 
director of campus life health 
and wellness education encour- 
ages students to learn the facts 
about alcohol. 

Hartle is also a nurse at 
Keeling Health Center and 
helped put the event together 
this year. 

"It will provide information 
for students and the general 
public about alcohol and bring 
it to their attention," said 
Hartle. 

Hartle will sit at an informa- 
tion table in Chandler dining 
hall giving students helpful 
advice, tips and information 
during the week. 

Hartle also has a special con- 
test planned for Halloween. 

"There will be a contest soon 
that will involve 12 tombstones 



scattered throughout the cam- 
pus with trivia written on it and 
the first person to e-mail me 
with the correct answer will 
receive a $5 gift certificate," 
said Hartle. 



Residence halls 
have alcohol programs 
all the time. 99 

-Darlene Hartle 



In almost every residence hall 
students can find several differ- 
ent types of information pack- 
ets and brochures pertaining to 
a variety of alcohol issues. 

Bulletin boards are also up on 
walls in residence halls about 
alcohol awareness. 

"Residence halls have alcohol 
programs all the time," said 
Hartle. "One pamphlet in par- 
ticular that may be helpful is 
entitled 50 Things You Should 
Know About Alcohol." 

Returning Adult and 
Commuting Students will also 
sponsor a 60s dance on Friday, 
Oct. 25. 

Those interested in attending 



are encouraged to wear 60s 
style clothing. A live band will 
also be performing. There is a 
$2 admission fee. 

"Also on Nov. 16, the Safety 
Bug, which is a real 
Volkswagon Beetle, will be 
coming to the Clarion Mall," 
said Hartle. "It will enable stu- 
dents to take a real drunk dri- 
ving test behind the wheel 
while other passengers are 
allowed to sit in the back for a 
hands on experience. It is free 
and open to the public," said 
Hartle. 

Students who need further 
assistance may come to the 
Drug and Alcohol office or 
even AAA meetings, which are 
usually held every Wednesday 
at 8 p.m. in the basement of 
Hart Chapel," said Hartle.

There weren 't 
nearly as many food 
and ride vendors. §9

KDITOR1AL, KYLEK KBKKSOLK 



Autumn Leaf Festival has 
surpassed us for yet another 
year, but this year was differ- 
ent, I was disappointed. 

I was disappointed to see all 
of the empty space at the festi- 
val site. 

There weren't nearly as many 
food and ride vendors. There 
were so many vendors last 
year it seemed like the entire 
park was full. 

First of all, my biggest let 
down was the absence of the 
pretzel vendor. The pretzel is 
my favorite ALF food, second 
only to the Poor Man's 
Caramel Apple. (The Poor 
Man's Caramel Apple is never 
a disappointment.) 

As far as rides go, what 
happened to 2001 Arabian 



"I Miss the Pretzel " 

Nights? Who doesn't enjoy 
seeing people get sick as they 
swiftly move in circles again 
and again? Ok maybe it was a 
good idea to leave out the 
Arabian Nights ride. 

I also noticed many games 
didn't make an appearance for 
the ALF celebration. There 
was no skeeball and the bowl- 
ing game was absent from the 
roster. I couldn't believe that 
they weren't there. It just was- 
n't the same without them. 

I've been the ALF bowling 
champion for the past three 
years. I'm just wondering why 
they didn't grace us with their 
presence. Aren't these games 
traditional carnie fare? 

Now I'm not completely 
down on ALF because it

seemed to be busier in atten- 
dance than last year. It just 
didn't seem like as many ven- 
dors came to support the busy 
crowd. 

A great aspect of ALF was 
that this year's parade was one 
of the nicest and longest I 
have ever witnessed in my 
years here at Clarion. My 
mom, an alumna of Clarion, 
also agreed the parade was one 
of the finest that has ever been 
through Clarion. 

Another positive advantage 
that worked out in everyone's 
favor was the weather. This is 
the first time in a long while 
that we didn't get a massive 
amount of rain during the 
parade and game. 

You could actually stand 
outside and be comfortable. A 
few clouds sprinkled during 
Farmers and Crafter's Day, 
but nothing that ruined the 
event. 

Even though I was disap- 
pointed by the attendance of 
the different vendors at the 
festival, there were many good 
memories that came out of the 
festivities. 

I know I will always remem- 
ber my next to last Autumn 
Leaf Festival at good old 
Clarion University. I just hope 
my last ALF has the pretzel 
stand. 




Letter to the Editor 

No cause for another war 



Dear Editor: 

George W. quickly converted 
and classified a police action as a 
"war on terrorism" to gain the 
power and authority of a 
"wartime leader." It has enabled 
Bush and Ashcroft to seize suffi- 
cient power to limit and attack 
our civil liberties and fundamen- 
tal freedoms. 

Bush's cowboy circle has dis- 
torted, used and misused the Sept. 
11 calamity to beat the war 
drums, distract the voters and 
advance its political future. 
Promotion of fear, daily threats of 
imminent danger, and cheerlead- 
ing for endless wars against his 
"axis of evil" are diversions to 
achieve Congressional electoral 
wins in 2002. Thus, economic 
failures, assaults on domestic 
needs and programs and corpo- 
rate crimes are carefully sub- 
merged, out-of-sight. 

The "war on terrorism," 
although totally unrelated to Iraq 
or "weapons of mass destruc- 
tion," has been deceitfully manip- 
ulated into insistent calls for 
immoral, aggressive and pre- 
emptive war against Iraq; a dan- 
gerous precedent for worldwide

instability. This is despite the fact 
that Saddam Hussein has been 
easily deterred and contained for 
a decade. 

A corporatized, court appointed 
White House resident and his 
cowboy inner-circle are hell-bent 
on an adventurous war on Iraq, 
endangering stability across the 
region. They ignore questions and 
objections from allies, Arabic 
nations, Bush I advisers, Security 
Council members and military 
leaders. Although eight other 
nations have nuclear weapons 
they would have us believe Iraq 
may soon have undeliverable 
ones to threaten the U.S. or Iraq's 
neighbors. Iraq is no threat, now 
or later, to our lives and freedom 
but the war dance and fearful 
cries from Bush, Cheney and 
Rumsfeld continues. 

The Bush war dance is aided by 
the powerful one-sided corporate 
media which continues to ignore 
the results of the Gulf War; the 
second of an imminent fourth 
Bush war in six years. Saddam 
Hussein did learn from his crush- 
ing defeat in 1991. 

Air raids decimate water sys- 
tems and infrastructure which 
remains partially unrepaired even 
today. A hundred thousand help- 
less retreating soldiers were 
slaughtered in what has been 
called a "turkey shoot." 
Inhumane sanctions continue to 
take Iraqi lives, mostly children. 
Constant air surveillance and 
attacks continue to this day. 

It is absurd to believe Saddam 
would rish assured self-destruc- 
tion with any provocation. 
Realistically, any weapons he 
may possess has no purpose but 
to discourage or defend against 
new attacks. Since when have 
fourth rate military powers 
attacked a super power, which is 
7000 miles away, or their allies? 
The U.S. miliary budget exceeds 
that of all other nations com- 
bined-at least one hundred times 
that of Iraq. 

The Bush inner-circle, according 
to Professor Bernard Weiner, 
"fails to reconsider its policies or 
accomplish its ends through 
diplomacy. In its arrogance it 
continues to bully and threaten 
others, insult European and other

allies, disregard international 
treaties and courts, engage in uni- 
lateral actions without regard to 
the national interests of others and 
simply throws its weight around." 

The real danger is George the 
Second who threatens immoral 
and unprovoked "splendid little 
wars" against his "axis of evil." 
He believes he must remove all 
leaders he mistrusts, including 
Saddam, Arafat and Chavez. He is 
eager and ready, even unilaterally 
if necessary, to crush any nation 
he considers to be the slightest 
threat. He insists, without reserva- 
tions, that we reign as the world's 
giant militaristic police force; a 
rogue Pax Americana to control 
the planet by force, reminiscent of 
the Roman and British empires. 
Neither history, mankind nor our 
grandchildren will be forgiven. 

Now George W has challenged 
the UN with an ultimatum. It must 
accept his wide-ranging demands 
on Iraq without qualification, or 
he will resort to force unilaterally 
and, as he puts it, reduce the UN 
to irrelevancy. 

Those blunt unquestioning 
demands for needless wars on 
Iraq and the nations and leaders 
who seem to be on the agendas, 
indicates that no honest thought is 
given to the many thousands of 



innocent non-combatant men, 
women and children who will suf- 
fer and die, plus our men in uni- 
form. In doing so our country will 
rank with those we condemn-the 
Husseins, Hitlers, Stalins and Idi 
Amins. Will you too ignore those 
thoughts, those bloody realistic 
finalities? Or will Clarion stu- 
dents join those in other universi- 
ties to speak, march and demand 
reason and sanity for peace? 

For months George W., the lead- 
ing campaigner and fundraiser-in- 
chief, makes daily appearance in 
decisive key states. Three months 
ago he had already raised 100 
million dollars for Republican 
Congressional candidates. 

Always included are the blunt 
cries for war. He exemplifies the 
lines from Shenandoah that "they 
always have a holy cause to 
march you off to war." Domestic 
needs of the nation and its people 
are helplessly bogged down in 
incessant campaigning, fund rais- 
ing and warmongering. 

Let there be no blood for oil, for 
Republican victories in 2002 and 
2004 and for a world dominated 
by a militaristic Pax Americana. 
War is the real enemy. 

Sincerely, 
Kenneth F. Emerick

Autumn Leaf Festival parade the pinnacle of ALF 



by Amanda Cackowski 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

It's 11:45 a.m. on Saturday, 
October 12 - I'm so late for 
the Autumn Leaf parade. I 
don't even want to go, but I 
agreed to cover it for the 
newspaper. 

I haven't watched a parade 
since I was little, and I can't 
even remember if I enjoyed 
it. Geez. 1 glance at my 
unmade bed and wish that I 
were sleeping. 

As I stand in my dorm 
room, I can hear the steadv 



beat of drums through my 
open window. 

It is a brisk fall day -- the 
kind where you can wear a 
sweater outside and still be 
comfortable. The sky is 
overcast and gray. 

I hurriedly slip on my 
shoes, dash out my door, fly 
down the stairs, and sprint 
across campus. 

I approach Wood Street and 
the view is shocking. Seas of 
people have positioned them- 
selves on both sides of the 
parade route. Some parade 
watchers are sitting in lawn 
chairs; many are standing, 
and a few have located them- 
selves on the concrete steps 
of Founders Hall and Hart 
Chapel. Also, a select few 
are seated on metal bleach- 
ers. 

The Clarion University 
marching band is placed row- 
by-row marching like sol- 
diers and playing an unknown 
tune. The CU cheerleaders 
follow and perform an acro- 
batic stunt and cheer. 

I spread my blanket onto a 
vacant curb and try my best 
to enjoy the Autumn Leaf 
Parade. 

Area businesses and their 




floats then follow, displaying 
the apparent community 
involvement. Various 

leagues, organizations and 
clubs also march proudly 
down the pavement of 
Clarion, demonstrating their 
talents. 

Next, parade watchers are 
treated with a few special 
guests. Candidates for 

Pennsylvania Governor Ed 
Rendell and Mike Fisher 
appear in the parade — not 
together of course. Rendell 
marches along with Clarion 
University's Young 

Democrats Association, while 
Fisher is seen on the Clarion 
Gun Owners float. 

Various Distinguished 
Clarion University Alumni 
from years past including 
KDKA weatherman Larry 
Richert, also greet onlookers. 
Then (and what was later 
deemed as the highlight of 
the parade by this writer) the 
area Zem Zem Shriners 
appear to dazzle the crowd 
with their mini-motorcycle 
trickery. Those assembled on 
the sidewalk "ooo" and 
"aww" at the site of the Zem 
Zem speeding by one another 
in a figure eight, narrowly 
missing each other. The 
audience applauded as the 
Shriner complete many feats 
on their various vehicles. 

Also sporadically placed 
throughout the parade are the 
representatives of the 
Homecoming court. 

Following close behind 
each couple is a colorful 
themed float carefully con- 
structed by fraternity and 
sorority teams. Each float 
demonstrates weeks of hard 
work and dedication by all 
the organizations' members. 
Some members even proudly

march alongside the floats, 
passing out candy and treats. 
Carefully jotting down 
notes in my handy dandy 
notebook, I gather my things 
and scope out the remaining 
parade route. As I travel 
down Wood Street, follow the 
parade along a side street and 
then finally onto Main, I am 
once again greeted by a mass 
of parade watchers standing 
along the street, peering from 
store windows and above 
apartments. 

Many people are gathered 
together talking with one 
another, laughing, and watch- 
ing the parade. 

Just then, I notice an image 
out of the corner of my eye: 



A gentleman riding in a states. They are made up of 

seemingly new Ford pickup families, college students and

Carolyn and Carissa Movie Review 



f//e CiMfDN Cau 



Page 9 



"Rules" is not attractive to movie viewers 



by Carolyn Kelley and Carissa Rosati 
Clarion Call Staff Writers 



Carissa wants the writer to learn the rules of mak- 
ing a good movie . . . 



"The Rules of Attraction," writ- 
ten and directed by Roger Avary, 
is depressing, confusing, and dis- 
gusting. 

The film is based on a novel by 
Bret Easton Ellis, who is known 
for his satire writing. Instead of 
writing what he likes about the 
world, he writes what he does not 
like about it. 

If you are the kind of person who 
likes to watch a group of kids who 
have the most messed up sex lives 
you could ever imagine, then this 
is the movie for you. 

Ian Somerhalder's character is 
Paul. Paul was Lauren's boyfriend 
but now is exploring the other side 
of his bisexuality. He thinks that 
he is in love with Sean. 

James Van Der Beek ("Dawson's 
Creek") plays Sean Bateman, the 
campus drug dealer who considers 
himself an emotional vampire. 

Personally, I think that Van Der 
Beek was the absolute worst per- 
son to cast for this character. He 
just wasn't believable as a hard- 
core drug dealer who likes to have 
promiscuous sex with whoever is 



available. 

His character is supposed to be a 
little scary because he is insane 
and that also was not believable. 
Sean thinks that he is in love with 
Lauren. 

Lauren played by Shannyn 
Sossamon ("A Knight's Tale"), is 
a big hearted, truthful girl who is 
saving her virginity for the right 
person. She is constantly looking 
at pictures in a medical book she 
has, to remind herself of the vagi- 
nal diseases she could get if she 
does have sex with the wrong per- 
son. Lauren is saving herself for 
Victor. 

Victor (Kip Pardue) has been on 
a trip exploring Europe. The audi- 
ence soon finds out that he is not 
as sweet and innocent as his pic- 
ture looks in Lauren's room. In a 
cool fast-forwarding take of his 
European vacation, we learn that 
he has sex with anyone he can and 
does as many drugs as he can. 
Victor likes Lara. 

Lara (Jessica Biel from "7th 
Heaven") is Lauren's roommate. 
She seems to have sex with every-

one that Lauren likes or maybe could like. That is emotions and promiscuous behaviors going on with 

about all her character was thrown in the movie to these characters and it just does not seem possible, 

do. It was thrown together half "Pulp Fiction" half 

This movie is a huge spider web of the radical "Momento," which made it very hard to follow. 




Courtsey of KRT Campus 

Shannyn Sossamon, left, and Jessica Biel star as roommates in Lions Gate Films' 
"The Rules of Attraction." 

Carolyn is looking for a movie roadmap for this film . . . 



"The Rules of Attraction" is one of those 
movies that you sit through yelling at yourself 
for paying money to see. Its one of those 
movies that when its over you are as confused 
as you were during the whole long duration of 
the movie. 

One positive note, it makes you happy that 
your life isn't as pathetic as those portrayed in 
the movie. 

Rules doesn't flow like most movies. Here the 
beginning is the end and the end is the begin- 
ning with the middle viewed in rewind mode. 
Confused? So was I. 

Roger Avary directed this adaptation of a Bret 
Easton Ellis book of the same name. Avary is 
known for "Killing Zoe" and writing some of 
"Pulp Fiction." 

The movie deals with topics of sex, drugs and 
college students. 

Trying to pin one main character is a little 
tough, since we are constantly flashing back 
and forth to other characters and their troubles. 
James Van Der Beek is Sean Bateman, a 
tough, mean, sex-seeking drug dealer who can't 
pay his dealer. 

Enter Paul (Ian Somerhalder), the gay guy 
that has a crush on Sean who used to date 
Lauren (Shannyn Sossamon) the girl that Sean 
likes. See the triangle forming? 



The rest of the movie somehow reflects on 
these three characters and what they go through 
in a span of what seems like a semester. 

Van Der Beek tries very hard to be the total 
opposite of his character "Dawson" but is com- 
ing up short. Trying to picture him as a dirty 
drug dealer isn't working for me. I say stick to 
cameos like in "Jay and Silent Bob Strike 
Back," because at least in that movie we only 
had to see him for a few short minutes and not 
the whole movie. 

Somerhalder and Sossamon were believable 
characters that could have been more devel- 
oped. There are so many unanswered questions 
that hopefully the book answers for readers. 

Why the big name stars like Faye Dunaway 
and Swoosie Kurtz that have really no role in 
the movie at all? 

Fred Savage of "The Wonder Years" is play- 
ing a heroin addict that shoots between his toes. 
We see him for all of two minutes in the whole 
movie. 

This may be another attempt of a classic teen 
movie but falls way short in my standards. The 
special effects use too much of the "reverse" 
mode, and needs to get back to the basics of 
making a movie easy to follow. 

Save your money, this movie is not worth the 
time or the effort of trying to get things straight.

three or four albums under their 
belts. 

Rebecca Lynn Howard is 
promising to become a new 
classic with the release of this 
album if she can follow up the 
first single, also entitled 
"Forgive," with a good second 
release. 

Many people may not have 
known about Rebecca Lynn 
Howard until her first single 
from this album, but she had 
released a self-titled album in 
2000. 

Howard's sophomore endeav- 
or is a strong album named after 
the first single, the power ballad 
"Forgive." You cannot ignore 
Rebecca's commanding voice 
on this song. 

Simple piano and drums 
accompany her while she sings 
powerfully to her man about his 
infidelity. The song does not 
need excessive instruments, 
even if it did have too many; 
Rebecca's voice would still be 
prominent. 

The lyrics, "Forgive, well 
that's a mighty big word for 
such a small man" say it all 
when he asks for forgiveness. 

The song could bring hope to 
women who have been done 
wrong all across the country by 
telling them to stand their 
ground. 

This is not your typical "My 
man cheated on me song." This 
is an adult, composed song with 
raw emotion. 

The song is doing well on 
adult contemporary radio sta- 
tions, but Rebecca doesn't com- 
promise the song to sell out like 
some other country music artists 
by turning it into a typical pop 
ballad. 

The rest of the album pales in 
comparison to the first single. 

However, Rebecca does. have 
a few songs that could go .to 
radio next. 

"This Love" is a promising 
romantic song that is upbeat 
enough to catch listeners and 
have people dedicate it to their 
loved ones. 

The album opens with 
"Beautiful To You" which has 
excellent lyrics that would make 
anyone feel good about them- 
selves. 

Howard closes the album with 
the gospel song, "Softly And 



Tenderly" which showcases her 
talent and gives appreciation to 
the creator that gave the talent 
to her. 

"Memorized" is a very pretty 
song about love that pulls you in 
with its mid-tempo beat about 
the love she misses. It will make 
listeners want to call that old 
boyfriend or girlfriend or think 
about the lover who just is not 
close enough to caress. 

The playful and catchy song 
"Pink Flamingo Kind Of Love" 
sounds cheesy, but ignore the 
title to get to the smart lyrics. 

The tempo is so upbeat that 
you will find yourself trying to 
sing along, although you know 
your voice will never sound 
nearly as good as hers, but it 
would be a fun attempt. 

"Life Had Other Plans" could 
be compared to Tammy 
Cochran's "Life Happened," but 
Rebecca makes it more personal 
by singing about herself and her 
path in life. 

The song's lyrics in "When 
Did You Ever Listen To Me" are 
so witty that you will find your- 
self wanting to shout them to 
someone who did you wrong. 

Rebecca takes the high road 
on this album by using clever 
lyrics and never letting herself 
stoop to country cliches. 

The lyrics on this album are 
very well written, and she 
selected songs that fit her per- 
sonality and voice. 

Her voice is what truly shines 
on this album. 

The instrument choices are 
typically country, but her voice 
pulls the listener in and even 
people who don't appreciate 
country music can ignore some 
of the twangy chords just to hear 
her incredible voice. 

Still, stay away from this 
album if you are afraid of coun- 
try music. The album has a few 
very country songs, including 
"Dancin' In God's Country," 
"Jesus & Bartenders," and "It 
Didn't Look Like Alcohol." 

Buy the album if you can lis- 
ten to the whole thing, but just 
buy the single of "Forgive" if 
you cannot take country music 
in large doses. 

Rebecca Lynn Howard proves 
herself on "Forgive." She has 
the promise to be a new classic 
in country music.

Autumn Leaf Festival Event 



The Earthquakers help close ALF 



by Beth LeVier-Pentz 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

This year's Autumn Leaf 
Festival activities were 
brought to an end Sunday 
night, Oct. 13, with an oldies 
concert featuring the band The 
Earthquakers. The concert 
was from 7-9 p.m. at 
Memorial Stadium. 



Spectators of the show had 
their blankets and hot choco- 
late ready because of the cold 
weather Clarion had been 
experiencing. The seating was 
far from packed; concertgoers 
had no problem finding a seat. 
As the band approached the 
stage, it looked like the audi- 
ence was in store for a hoe- 
down rather than an oldies

concert. The band members 
looked like thev just finished 
plowing their fields on their 
farms. 

They were dressed in straw 
hats, suspenders, and had on 
sweatpants and jeans. The 
drummer of the band actually 
looked Amish; 1 almost fell 
over in my seat when I found 
out his name was Eli Yoder. 

Many audience members 
chanted "Yoder! Yoder!" 
throughout the entire concert. 
Despite their hilarious 
appearance, the band had a 
pretty good sound. There are 
four members in "The 
Earthquakers." 

Aside from the aforemen- 
tioned Eli Yoder, there were 
also two guitarists -- Seth 
Byler on the bass guitar and 
his brother Jacob Byler on the 
electric guitar. The lead singer 
of The Earthquakers was 
Isaiah Work. 

The instrumental music of 
the band was great, especially 



the guitars, which sounded 
like something right off of the 
radio. The band definitely had 
the crowd going. 

However, it was hard to 
understand what the lead 
singer was singing. Isaiah 
Work also liked to leave the 
stage and goof off in the 
crowd. 

This led to many dull 
moments where the band was 
playing a song but the singer 
wasn't singing the words. 
There were times when the 
band members would scan the 
crowd with looks of confusion 
on their faces looking for their 
lead singer. 

Despite all of this, the older 
crowd seemed to really enjoy 
themselves, and the younger 
children formed a small crowd 
in front of the stage and 
danced throughout the night to 
such tunes as "I Love Rock & 
Roll" and "Walk This Way." 

At one point Work asked the 
audience if the fireworks that 



were occurring after the con- 
cert were the reason they were 
all there. 

The audience, in turn, hon- 
estly answered him with a 
loud, "Yes!" 

But this didn't seem to both- 
er The Earthquakers. They 
just went right on doing their 
thing. 

The crowd gradually grew in 
size throughout the night as 
the time for the fireworks to 
begin. By the end of the con- 
cert The Earthquakers had 
gained a few fans, especially 
Eli Yoder. 

The crowd welcomed the 
entertainment while they wait- 
ed. Surprisingly, the audience 
even chanted "one more" at 
the concerts end. 

It was all fun and games for 
both the audience and the 
band, as they waited together 
freezing their toes off for the 
firework display and the end 
of another Autumn Leaf 
Festival.

today's girthday (Oct. 19). Creativity is required as you build a 
solid base. The more you learn, the more opportunities you 
encounter. Combine fantasy and hard work to not only build your 
castle in the sky, butt also to live there comfortably - or as close to it as 
you can get. 

"To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest 
day, O the most challenging. 

Aries (JVlarch 21 -April 19) - Today is a 6 - Those worries 
banging around in your head are not necessarily groundless. Some 
have merit, so sort through them. Don't throw out the good with the 
silly. 

Taurus (April 20-JVlay 20) - Today is a 6 - Seems like you 
and your friends think of three things that won't work for every one 
thing that does, tjou're doing fine, you're batting .250! 

Gemini (JVlay 21-June 21) - Today is a 7 - Sf things aren't 
going well, stop doing the same thing over and over again. Look 
around to see what might work better. Ask for suggestions, then lis- 
ten. 

Cancer (June 22- July 22) - Today is a 7 - A romance 
based on materialism is in for a solid thwack. tSut one built on family 
will get stronger with every passing day. 

Ceo ("July 23- Aug. 22) - Today is a 6 - A long-term invest- 
ment is not a good risk, even if it's backed by a friend. Not right now, 
anyway. Wait about a week. 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7- bjou might spend 
most of the day untangling other people's messes. Luckily, you're 
great at this. Demand top dollar. 

Cibra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 7- Some of the things 
you try now won't work. SI f you get the feeling you're wise to withhold 
judgment, you're right. Qo with the flow. 

Scorpio (Oct. 23-fiov. 21) - Today is a 6 - Ljou may be in 
love, but making the connection isn't easy. Seems like one thing after 
another gets in the way. Luckily, your telepathy is working. See if you 
can contact with each other that way. 9t might work. 

Sagittarius (Alov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 6 - Over the 
next few days, watch out for breakage at home, possibly involving lig- 
uids. A little extra caution could help you avoid a big mess. 

Capricorn (Dec. 22- < Jan. 19) - Today is a 7 - Ljou should 
still have plenty, but it's not consistent. Sometimes there's too much, 
sometimes not enough. When you've got it. don't waste any. 

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Jeb. 18) - Today is a 7- financial 
negotiations must be handled carefully. Don't let everyone have what 
they want. Hold out for what's best for them, and for what you can 
afford. 

Pisces Qeb. 19-JVlarch 20) - Today is a 7- Put a halt to 
something you don't like, by bringing it to the attention of others. 9f 
being nice isn't working, pitch a fit.

Lady Eagle Volleyball team continues successful run 



by Erin Witner 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

The Lady Eagle Volleyball team returned 
home Tuesday night to host California after 
a long, but successful weekend on the road. 
California, which entered the contest 
with a record of 0-5 in the PSAC and 11-8 
overall, was looking for the chance to stop 
the Lady Eagles; however, Clarion cur- 
rently 4-2 in the PSAC and 22-3 overall 
had differnt ideas in mind for them. 

Clarion had no problem sweeping all 
three games, defeating Cal 30-23, 30-26, 
and 32-30. Leaders for the night were 
Jackie Hill, with 39 assists and seven digs, 
Mel Bull, with 16 kills and 1 1 digs, Laurie 
Hepler, with 20 digs, and Tonya Zatko, 
with 14 kills. 

"I believe that we played well and it was 
great to get another conference win," said 
Head Coach Tracy Fluharty. "However, I 
believe we still have some aspects of the 
game to improve," she added. 

The Lady Eagles have just a few days to 
work on those aspects before they host IUP 
for a major PSAC-West showdown. IUP is 



one of Clarion's two losses of the season. 
They faced IUP on September 21 and lost 
0-3. 

Since Clarion last met with IUP, they have 
improved on their serve receive and 
offense. They are not only preparing phys- 
ically but striving to become mentally 
stronger. So what is the game plan when 
IUP comes to town? 

" We are just going to have to bring out 
our 'A' game and be stronger than them on 
offense and quicker than them on defe- 
sense," said Fluharty. 

This win is very crucial for Clarion. The 
win will determine the second place posi- 
tion and possibly move the Lady Eagles 
into first place in the PSAC-West. 
Clarion's main focus right now is a region- 
al win and with that they are ready to face 
other challenges that may arise. 

The matchup between CU and IUP is 
Tuesday night at 7 p.m. in Tippin Gym, and 
Coach Fluharty is very confident with her 
team. In fact when she is asked how her 
team ceases to amaze her , she says, "When 
my team goes out to play, it's just like a 
magic show- full of surprises." 




Ben Chandlee/ The Clarion 
Two Lady Eagles go up for the block against California Tuesday night.

The 2002-03 Clarion

opening of the season. Both the 
men's and the women's teams 



have been conditioning and 
shooting around the last few 
weeks and now look forward to 
their opening games. 

Clarion University is known 
as a powerhouse in basketball 
and it looks like they will con- 
tinue as such this coming sea- 
son. Golden Eagle fans were 
introduced to the members of 
both teams and got a little pre- 
view of what they can expect 
with inter squad scrimmages. 
Frisbees and special prizes 
were handed out throughout the 
night as well. 



Clarion's Lady Eagles are 
coming off of a very exciting 
2001-02 season. They finished 
6-6 in PSAC-West and 12-15 
overall and made their first 
playoff appearance since 1997. 

The men finished last season 
15-11 overall and 7-5 in the 
PSAC-West. They also 

appeared in the PSAC playoffs. 

Both teams will kick off their 
season November 22 in tourna- 
ment play. The women will host 
the Clarion Classic while the 
men will host the Subway/KFC 
Classic.

Rugby team shuts out SRU; 15-0 



by Ashley Good 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 



• •••••*#•••••••! 



•••••••••••••••••• 



The Clarion Women's 
Rugby Club hosted Slippery 
Rock this past weekend for 
the final contest of their 
Allegheny Rugby Union 
League Schedule. 

The first half was a hard 
fought contest. The Clarion 
women were able to advance 
the ball upfield and maintain 
possession, but handling 
errors and penalties kept 
slowing down the drives. 

The Slippery Rock offense 
and defense was much 
improved from their previous 
contest in which Clarion 
scored 41 unanswered points. 

The SRU defense held the 
Clarion women scoreless 
until the midpoint of the first 
half when Prop Ellen 
Palermo broke throught the 
SRU defensive line knocking 
down several attempted tack- 



lers to score from 60 meters 
out. The conversion kick was 
missed. 

Clarion did not get back 
into the SRU try-zone until 
later in the first half when 
Hooker Julie Rengers cut 
through the SRU defense off 
a forward crash from five 
meters out. The conversion 
was also missed. The half 
ended with Clarion ahead 10- 
0. 

The second half was played 
much like the first with many 
penalties and infractions 
slowing the pace of the 
match to a crawl. 

However, the Lady Eagle 
offense was able to organize 
a last scoring drive which 
allowed Lock Kimmie 
Welling to pick up a loose 
ball from the ruck and dive 
across the SRU Try-line. 

Despite a few rocky 
moments in the second half, 
the Clarion women were able 



to control the ball and keep 
the SRU offense out of the 
try-zone winning with the 
shutout 15-0. 

With the win, the Clarion 
women secured first place in 
the Allegheny Rugby Union 
Women's Collegiate Division 
with a league record of three 
wins and one ioss. 

Clarion also finished sec- 
ond in their Midwest 
Division I Pool with a record 
of one win and one loss. 
The Women's Rugby team is 
currently 4-2 overall. 

They will travel to State 
College this Friday night for 
a 7:30 p.m. match against 
PSU B-Side. This will be a 
non-league match. 

In B-Side action, Clarion 
defeated Slippery Rock 17-0. 
Try Scorers for Clarion were 
Lisa Koerlbel, Brooke Lyle 
and Rachel Reachard. Steph 
Sherant made one of three 
conversion kicks.

I'm sure you've all heard the 
phrase, "Everyone wants to be 
the best," and if you are an ath- 
lete, you know that this saying 
proves doubly true. You think it 
every time you drag your near 
lifeless body out of bed before 
the crack of dawn, just to get in 
a morning practice. That pierc- 
ing phrase resounds inside of 
your throbbing head through 
every set, repetition, sprint and 
drill. You want to achieve this 
status more than anything 
you've desired in your entire 
life. But how far would you go 
to obtain it? And where is the 
line between safety and danger 
when working toward a dream? 
Performance enhancing 
drugs plague the market and 
divide the playing fields. They 
aid in building muscle, boosting 
energy and enhance overall per- 
formance to name few. Or, at 
least they claim to. Some of 
these enhancers are legal, while 
others are banned. Some of 
these drugs can be purchased at 
a local nutrition store, while 
others require special orders. 
Whatever the case, many ath- 
letes take the plunge into all 
sorts of products just so that 
they may gain an edge over 
other competitors. 

In my experience with these 
sorts of products, I found that 
most of these products require 
much more than just supple- 
menting in order to work effec- 
tively. My first experiment 
deals with the vast assortment 
of protein drinks. For weeks on 
end, I routinely supplemented 
jmy diet with one type of protein 
Idrink after another. Once one 
cycle completed, I inadvertent- 
ly tried a different brand. Some 



tasted absolutely disgusting, 
and it almost became a task just 
to down the stuff. Nevertheless, 
I followed the directions and 
finished each tub accordingly. 
Yes, I do believe that these 
types of drinks help athletes, 
but only athletes who may not 
receive adequate protein in 
their everyday diets. So, this 
form of performance enhance- 
ment would be ideal for athletes 
who aren't too keen on eating 
meat regularly for muscle 
repair 

My second experiment deals 
with an over-the-counter night 
time anabolic hormone formula 
designed to aid in repairing 
muscle tissue while an athlete 
sleeps. Now this proved a bit 
tricky, especially for a midnight 
feeder such as myself, because 
the product required ingestion 
on an empty stomach one half 
hour before bedtime. No more 
before bed snacks. After months 
of religiously taking the cap- 
sules and practicing like a 
maniac, I noticed a drastic 
improvement in my overall per- 
formance. Before you run out 
and buy this magic compound, 
let me add that during my 
experiment, I also added a 
weight lifting regimen. So, who 
is to say whether my success 
resulted from pills or a change 
in routine? I surely do not 
know. 

New products emerge from 
the underground performance 
enhancing laboratories all of 
the time. But with each release, 
the NCAA grows tighter on 
what the organization permits. 
Just recently, the NCAA banned 
all drugs containing ephedrine, 
since the compound stimulates 
the body. This totally levels out 
any type of weight loss formu 
las as well as many types of 
decongestants. Many other 
types of drugs go under evalua- 
tion daily in addition to those 
already banned. 

Supplementing with various 
types of performance enhancers 
could aid some and harm oth- 
ers, but nothing benefits an ath- 
lete more than good old-fash- 
ioned hard work. If you do 
choose to take any kind of prod- 
uct, make sure you research it 
thoroughly for legality and all 
possible side effects. With all of 
the possibilities, sports may 
never be the same again.

Golden Eagles improve record to 4-2 on Homecoming weekend 




Courtesy of 
Sports Information 



Clarion halfback Glenn Lovelace 
ran for 181 yards and two touch- 
downs, and quarterback Adam 
Almashy gained 100 yards as the 
Golden Eagles defeated West Chester 
34-28 on Saturday afternoon at 
Memorial Stadium 

Clarion raised its overall record to 
4-2, while West Chester dropped to 2- 
4 in this PSAC inter-divisional game. 

A homecoming day crowd of 6,500 
saw Clarion explode for 21-points in 
a 5:01 span in the third quarter mov- 
ing Clarion from a 14-10 deficit to a 
31-14 lead. 

Robert Walker capped a ten-play, 
65-yard drive with 6:38 left in the 
third to give the Golden Eagles a 17- 
14 lead. 

On Clarion's next possession the 
Golden Eagles Robert Walker scored 
on a one-yard run as the Eagles went 
59-yards in six plays. Chris Carlton's 
PAT gave Clarion a 24-14 lead at 3:31 
of the third. 



Clarion's defense held again and 
the offense scored its third straight 
touchdown on a two-play, 53-yard 
drive with Lovelace racing down the 
left sideline on a 53-yard run. 

West Chester bounced back early in 
the fourth quarter when Mike 
Eckmeyer scored on a one-yard run at 
12:51 to cut the Eagle lead to 31-21. 

After Clarion placekicker Chris 
Carlton booted a 30-yard field goal 
with 8:14 left in the game to give the 
Eagles a 34-21 advantage, West 
Chester quickly hit paydirt . Ram 
quarterback Bob Findora connected 
on a 61-yard td pass with Brian 
Bradley to cut the Eagle lead to 34- 
28 with 7:14 remaining. 

Clarion drove downfield to the 
West Chester ten and tried a 27-yard 
field goal by Carlton with 2:27 left, 
but the Rams Travis Bloomgren 
blocked the attempt and West Chester 
had one more try but the Eagle 
defense was up to the task. 

Clarion, who has the #4 ranked 
rushing offense in the nation, gained 
344 yards on 58 carries, plus passed

for 94 yards giving Clarion 438 yards 
of total offense. 

Lovelace rushed for 181 yards and 
two touchdowns on 11 carries, and 
Almashy ran for 100 yards on 17 
tries. 

Almashy now has 1,089 career 
rushing yards and is the first Clarion 
quarterback to rush for 1,000 career 
yards. He also connected on eight of 
15 passes for 94 yards. 

Clarion linebacker Scott McGrady 
collected 18 tackles, one sack, and 
one fumble recovery to lead the 
defense. 

West Chester rushed for 75 yards 
on 40 carries and passed for 300 
yards for a total offense of 375. 
Tailback Mike Eckmeyer gained 104 
yards and one touchdown on 29 car- 
ries. 

It was Eckmeyer's 12th straight 
100-yard game. Findora completed 
18 of 30 passes for 300 yards and two 
touchdowns, while Brian Bradley 
grabbed three aerials for 91 yards and 
one touchdown. 

Clarion travels to Edinboro next 
week, while West Chester travels to 
Cheyney.

Mako charged with criminal homicide 



by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

Karen Danielle Mako, 19, a 
Clarion University student from 
Darlington, Pa, has been 
charged with criminal homicide 
in the death of her newborn son 
who was found early Monday 
morning in a dumpster adjacent 
to the east side of Clarion 
University's Becht Hall. 

At a press conference held 
yesterday in Gemmell Student 
Complex, police told reporters 
Mako is being charged with 
criminal homicide as a result of 
the findings of an autopsy con- 
ducted by the office of 
Allegheny County Coroner 



Cyril Wecht. 

"I am horribly saddened by 
this tragic event. It's very 
unfortunate that it had to end 
like this. There are so many 
resources on campus for 
women in this type of situa- 
tion," said Student Senate 
President Mike Phillips. 

According to Clarion County 
Defense Attorney Mark Aaron, 
the baby boy was born alive and 
remained alive for an unspeci- 
fied amount of time. Aaron said 
the baby died through actions 
of neglect or the actions of the 
defendant. 

A police report filed by 
Trooper William L. Myers 
reported that Richard Hetrick, a 
private contractor for Superior 



Waste, found the Caucasian, 
male baby in a blue nylon duf- 
fel bag. Hetrick notified 
Clarion University Public 
Safety at 5:05 a.m. 

Clarion County Coroner 
Roland "Rollie" Burns pro- 
nounced the baby dead at the 
scene. 

Mako also has been charged 
with Concealing the Death of a 
Child and Abuse of a Corpse. 

Mako told police she gave 
birth on Oct. 19 in a shower 
stall located on the third floor 
of Becht Hall. Mako estimated 
that the birth took 20 minutes. 

The police report read, "After 
the child was born, she (Mako) 
said she tried to clear his mouth 
and check for a pulse, but there

site for cards, candles, flowers and other mementos of sorrow. 



wasn't a pulse nor did he make 
any movements. She said that 
she wrapped the child in paper 
towels from the bathroom and 
placed him in her duffel bag, 
which she had found in her 
car." 

Mako told police she went 
home the next day, Sunday, to 
attend a baby shower and trans- 
ported the baby in the duffei 
bag. Mako told police her intent 
was to bury the baby in the 
cemetery in her backyard, but 
she had to return to Clarion for 
a meeting Sunday night. Mako 
claimed she left the baby in the 
duffel bag on the back seat of 
her silver Ford Tempo when she 
returned to Clarion. 

In an interview with police, 
Mako identified Dave Wisner 
of Pittsburgh as her boyfriend. 
However, there is no physical 
evidence that he is the father of 
her child. 

"No paternity has been deter- 
mined," LeVier said. 

Mako also told police she did- 
n't know how the baby was 
found in the dumpster. 

LeVier would not comment 
on whether Mako acted alone. 

Through the course of the 
investigation interviews were 
conducted with Maria Kirby, 
graduate manager of Becht 
Hall, and Kelly Andrews and 
Lisa McConahy, residents of 
Becht Hall. 

Police interviews with 
McConahy and Andrews led the 
police to suspect Mako was the 
mother. 

Trooper Alan Carmichael and 
Corporal Frank Wolbert inter- 
viewed Mako in her room, 403 
Becht Hall. Carmichael noted 
she had the appearance of 
someone who was pregnant or 
had recently been pregnant. 

Carmichael, Wolbert and 
Myers brought Mako to the 
Pennsylvania State Police

"While walking. I noticed 
Mako walked with hesitation, 
as if she was experiencing dis-

Affidavit of Probable Cause. 

Mako was taken to Clarion 
Hospital where attending physi- 
cian Dr. Arthur Dortort exam-

ed she had injuries consistent

Packet shaping software slows down the music 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Students who download 
music, movies and videos 
from the Internet will soon be 
watching movies or listening 
to music in slow motion. 

Student Senate adviser and 
Vice President for Student and 
University Affairs Harry Tripp 
spoke at Monday night's 
Student Senate meeting about 
the future of downloading 
movies and music. 

The University doubled the 
bandwidth from 3 megabites to 
6 megabites on Oct. 11 accord- 
ing to Karen DeMauro, assis- 
tant vice president for comput- 
ing services.

It didn i do much 
good, by the following 
Monday it was full. 99 

-Karen DeMauro 



DeMauro says the bandwidth 
can be thought of as a pipe that 
data can travel through. The 
bigger the pipe, the more bits 
and bites of data can flow 
through. 

Because students are down- 
loading music, movies and 
videos, "the pipe started get- 
ting choked up", which is why 
the bandwidth was doubled 
said DeMauro. 

"It didn't do much good, by 
the following Monday it was 
full," said DeMauro. 

The slowness of the Internet 
is mainly because of students 
downloading music and 
movies. 

"It's basically a few ruining 
it for the majority of stu- 
dents," said Tripp.

Both Tripp and DeMauro 
remind students that down- 
loading music and movies 
from the Internet is illegal and 
that they are breaking copy- 
right laws. 

Tripp also reminds students 
that "peer to peer download- 
ing" is also illegal. 

"Peer to peer downloading" 
means that people are down- 
loading copyrighted material 
off of someone else's comput- 
er who already downloaded 
the material from the Internet. 
Many students complained 
and were concerned about the 
slowness of the service, which 
is why the bandwidth was dou- 
bled said Tripp. 

Computing services has been 
negotiating with Altell since 
June to come up with a solu- 
tion. 

"We've been working very 
closely with Altell," said 
Tripp. 

Within the next 2-3 weeks 
the University will be invest- 
ing in packet shaping soft- 
ware. 

This software, according to 
DeMauro, will still allow stu- 
dents to download music and 
movies, but the software will 
only designate a small amount 
of the bandwidth to do so. 

The packet shaper will dras- 
tically slow down the speed of 
which music and movies are 
downloaded said Tripp. 

Sophomore Computer 
Science Major Corey Salzano 
doesn't think the packet 
shaper software is such a good 
idea. 

"I think that more restrictive 
software will only encourage 
students to find more ways 
around it," said Salzano. "The 
money used to purchase the 
software should have been 
spent on a connection with 
more bandwidth." 



Senior Elementary 
Education major Andrea Cook 
doesn't agree with the idea 
either. 

"I don't like the idea that it 
will take so long to download 
things because it takes so long 
now," said Cook. 

For those students who don't 
download music and movies, 
the Internet service will be 
very fast and efficient said 
DeMauro. 

"Personally, I think it's kind 
of good because a lot of peo- 
ple need to do research and it's 
annoying when the Internet is 
slow because everyone is 
downloading stuff," said 
Dustin Mitchell a freshman 
pre-med/ biology major. 

In his report, Student Senate 
President Mike Phillips 
reminded Senators that this 
Saturday is admissions day 
and that CABS will start this 
Saturday (10/26) at 8 p.m. in 
Reimer Snack Bar. 

Phillips also reported that 
there are seven applicants for 
the student trustee position. 

The Returning Adult and 
Commuting Students (RACS) 
representative reported that 60 
new members joined the orga- 
nization and that the office 
moved to Becht Hall. RACS 
will also be sponsoring a 
Halloween dance on Friday 
(10/25) in the Gemmell Multi- 
Purpose room. There is a $2 
admission fee. 

The representative from the 
Black Student Union (BSU) 
announced that they will be 
sponsoring a scary movie 
night on Oct. 29 in the 
Gemmell Multi-Purpose room 
at 8:30 p.m. 

Student Senate voted (19-0- 
0) to allocate $6,464 to cam- 
pus life for the CABS program 
from the supplemental 
account.

"CABS is a part of a bigger

hope to be offering things 
Thursday, Friday and Saturday 
in Gemmell, with a bunch of 
different things going on at the 
same time." 

Phillips reported that six 
Senators will be attending the 
Board of Student Governors 



Conference (BSGP) Nov. 15- 
17 in Edinboro. 

The Senate also participated 
in a Safety Walk on Oct. 17 
with Public Safety. Senator 
Renee Porter said the biggest 
problem that was found 
throughout the walk was light- 
ing. The Peirce parking lot 
was a big concern because 
there aren't many lightposts. 

Director of Public Safety 
David Tedjeske said more 
lightposts will be going up 
around campus reported 
Porter. 

Another concern was the 
new freshman parking lot 
across from Wilkinson Hall. 

There is an emergency call 
box on one end, but not the 
other. Public Safety is looking 
into the idea. 

Renee Porter and Marcus 
Surin were named Senators of 
the Week.

Faculty Senate 



University President alerts Faculty Senate about investigation 



by Katie Warner 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

University President Diane 
Reinhard told Faculty Senate at 
Monday's meeting that police had 
set up a command post in Moore 
Hall and were conducting a thor- 
ough investigation. 

Students in Becht Hall were 
meeting with the local police and 
giving any evidence they had 
heard or seen. 

Reinhard wanted to make it 
known that there are counseling 
services on campus and help is 
available for those who need it. 

Hallie Savage, Faculty Senate 
member, addressed the need for 
faster communication in times of 
crisis. 

Savage said many rumors were 
circulating and students were 
frightened. 

Reinhard said she would look 
into the issue so these problems 
would not arise again. 



Student Senate Representative 
Amy Cohen told Faculty Senate 
that Chandler Dining Hall has a 
"to go" menu that they are offer- 
ing in which students can enter 
the building through the "to go" 
line and grab salads and sand- 
wiches. 

Clarion's Alternative to the Bar 
Scene (CABS), will begin this 
Saturday, Oct. 26, Cohen added. 
The progam features dances each 
weekend. 

Different campus organizations 
on campus will sponsor the 
dances. 

Dr. Barry Sweet, of the poliical 
science department, gave the bud- 
get report and said it has not been 
approved yet because there are 
still seven subjects that the budget 
committee needs clarification on. 

A meeting will be held on Nov. 
12 to discuss these matters. 

Faculty Senate member Dr. 
Ralph Leary said he believes 
Faculty Senate is "out of the 



loop" with the Budget 
Committee. Leary was also con- 
cerned that the committee is just 
now meeting and the semester is 
almost over. 

Reinhard said they are looking 
to streamline the budget and make 
Faculty Senate more involved. 

Dr. Mike McConnell, of the 
Institution and Resources com- 
mittee, told senate they are plan- 
ning to update all of the Clarion 
University signs and maps in 
Clarion to make them more uni- 
versal with the new logo. 

Maps around campus will also 
be updated with the new logo. 

McConnell also told senate the 
technology department is starting 
an e-mail questionnaire asking 
what technology professors 
would like to see in classroooms. 
They hope this will make facul- 
ty feel more involved in what 
goes on in campus.

of CCR, wanted to have two

Officials defend themselves against allegations of missteps in sniper manhunt 



Page 7 



Courtesy of KRT Campus 

As another death was positive- 
ly linked to the Washington area 
sniper Wednesday, leaders of 
the manhunt defended them- 
selves against allegations that 
they'd made grave missteps in 
communicating with the killer. 

"Everything possible is being 
done on this case," said Special 
Agent Michael Bouchard of the 
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and 
Firearms. "We're all parents, 
and we're certainly concerned 
about the safety of our kids." 

Citing unnamed law enforce- 
ment officials, two local news- 
papers reported that the sniper, 
in an angry letter to police seek- 
ing millions of dollars, wrote 
that he had tried to contact 
police six times but was 
"ignored." 

One official told The 
Washington Post that an FBI 
trainee didn't realize an incom- 
ing tip-line call was from the 



sniper, and cut the conversation 
short. "Five people had to die" 
because of it, the sniper's letter 
reportedly claimed. 

According to several 
news reports, authorities spent 
so much time trying to collect 
forensic evidence from the let- 
ter, which was retrieved from 
Saturday night's shooting site in 
Ashland, Va., that they missed a 
deadline the sniper had 
imposed. 

The mistakes probably 
emboldened the shooter, said 
forensic scientist Brent Turvey, 
author of the book "Criminal 
Profiling." 

"If I'm the sniper, I'm thinking 
to myself the only way to com- 
municate with these people is 
bodies," Turvey said. In addi- 
tion, "He feels he's not going to 
get caught." 

Gary Bald, the top FBI special 
agent in the sniper investigation, 
did not address specific allega- 
tions in the media Wednesday, 
but acknowledged that the num- 



ber of calls coming in to the tip 
hot line sometimes "will overtax 
the system." According to the 
FBI's Baltimore field office, the 
special sniper tip line has 
received more than 70,000 calls. 

Bald denied that law enforce- 
ment agencies in the task force 
were not sharing information 
effectively. 

"Frankly, I think this is one of 
the more remarkable investiga- 
tions I've been involved in from 
the standpoint of a cooperation 
among a very, very large num- 
ber of people that are dedicated 
(to) solving this case," Bald 
said. 

White House spokesman Ari 
Fleischer said the federal 
resources included 600 FBI per- 
sonnel; 623 agents, inspectors 
and canine handlers from the 
ATF; three helicopters and flight 
teams from the Customs 
Service; 50 special agents from 
the Secret Service; unspecified 
numbers of Army surveillance 
planes from the Pentagon; 



agents from the Drug 
Enforcement Administration 
and U.S. Marshals Service. 

Fleischer said there were no 
plans to federalize the probe, 
which is headed by the police 
department in Montgomery 
County, Md., where the shoot- 
ings began Oct. 2. 

President Bush said 
Wednesday that he was praying 
for an end to the killing spree. 

"There is a ruthless person on 
the loose," Bush continued. "I 
have ordered the full resources 
of the federal government to 
help local law enforcement offi- 
cials in their efforts to capture 
this person." 

Montgomery County Police 
Chief Charles Moose issued a 
special appeal Wednesday to 
illegal immigrants who may 
have witnessed the latest shoot- 
ing, in Aspen Hill, Md. 

Immigration and 
Naturalization Service 

Commissioner James Ziglar also 
offered reassurance, saying fed- 



eral officials would not investi- 
gate the immigration status of 
witnesses who provide informa- 
tion in the sniper case. Rather, 
they would "look favorably" on 
granting special visa status to 
those who help authorities. 

Federal officials who initiated 
deportation proceedings against 
two immigrants Monday after 
they were inadvertently caught 
up in the sniper dragnet in 
Richmond, Va., might have 
intimidated illegal immigrants. 

Anxious students returned to 
school across the region 
Wednesday. They'd learned the 
night before of a chilling post- 
script in the sniper's letter: 
"Your children are not safe any- 
where at anytime." 

Incensing many parents, 
authorities had waited three 
days to make the threat public, 
which was in the letter left at the 
Ashland shooting. 

The sniper's 13 shootings have 
stretched over six counties and 
the District of Columbia.

EDITORIAL, CYNDI THOM PSON 
"Scheduling Woes" 



If you are anything like me, 
scheduling this semester was a 
nightmare. 

Four days into the process, long 
before I was scheduled to grab 
what little was left of the academ- 
ic world, all the communication 
classes were already closed - did I 
mention I am a communication 
major? 

Though I have a grand number 
of two general education electives 
left to be completed, most of 
them were closed too, leaving me 
wondering what I was going to do 
with myself next semester. 

After I finally finished the 
painful process, I was officially 
registered for a whopping seven 
credits, and waitlisted for nine 
more. Ah, the waitlist. That won- 
derful creation by the registrar's 



office that keeps you hanging on 
the edge of your seat with anxiety 
over whether you'll be lucky 
today and get written in. 

Although I have gotten into sev- 
eral classes this way, I have to 
admit I took a small leap of faith 
when I scheduled so many this 
time around. I had no back-up 
plan, no screw-around classes to 
fill the space and the credit hours. 
If I didn't get these classes, I 
wouldn't even be a full-time stu- 
dent. Let's just hope that the reg- 
istrar is in a good mood today. 

I found that I was not alone in 
this endeavor - apparently, the sit- 
uation is contagious. Business 
majors and Education majors 
share my pain; I can't say for sure 
about others, but the problem 
seems to be infecting the whole

campus. Class sections every- 
where are closing at an alarming 
pace. 

One possible reason for the lack 
of space is the student population 
is growing. 

According to the Clarion 
University Fact Book, there was 
about a 4.3 percent increase in 
enrollment from last fall (an addi- 
tional 270 students). 

Although I couldn't find any 
information on whether the num- 
ber of class sections or faculty 
have changed, I think it's reason- 
able to assume that an extra 270 
people competing for seats in the 
same classes puts a strain on the 
situation. 

So, what shall we do about it? 
I've started the process by writing 
to you. 

Unfortunately, an editorial made 
up entirely of my complaints 
about the system probably won't 
solve the problem. I only hope to 
make more people - at least, the 
ones who can change things - 
aware that it exists. 

Maybe if the University would 
hire more faculty members, or 
add a few more class sections, we 
won't be going through this again 
next semester. Until then, I wish 
everyone good luck in schedul- 
ing. 

Cyndi Thompson is a junior 
communication major- did she 
mention that in her editorial?

raced through the horrific possi- 
bilities that would warrant their 
presence. 

As the day unfolded and reports 
were released, I, as the rest of the 
university, and, indeed, the 
Clarion community, was faced 
with the reality that a young 
woman had given birth to her son, 
who was found at a later time in a 
duffel bag in a dumpster. 

As I've faced each new hour of 
each new day since then, I have 
been desolate and uncomforted 
by the fresh opportunity that usu- 
ally refreshes and renews. Why? 
Why? Why? 

Finally, the answer came to me 
... the focus, while keeping the 
mother of this male child in our 
prayers, now needs to turn to a 
way to wipe the slate clean ... for 
the next time. 

For the next time . . . that a 
young woman and a young man 
decide to have careless disregard 
for the potential life that they may 
be creating at a time when they 
have no immediate intention of 
nurturing a new life. 

For the next time . . . that a 
woman discovers that she is preg- 
nant long before she is emotional- 
ly, financially, or in any other way 
prepared to become a mother. 
For the next time . . . that the 
pains of childbirth begin and 
come closer and closer together 
only to reveal clearly that a new 
life is imminent.

Free Pressl Faculty member explains THE question, from Page 7. 



For the next time . . . that fear and desperation are 
palpable figures and constant companions in a resi- 
dence hall room or in a student's apartment. 

There are ways to escape the desperation, to clean 
the slate, and rise from the burning embers. 

The best way to avoid being faced with the possibil- 
ity of parenthood is to prevent the two from becoming 
a new "one." Failing this, a myriad of people are 
awaiting, ready to respond to THE question-"What do 
I do?" 

I serve as an academic adviser to more than 90 stu- 
dents at Clarion University. If any of them ask me 
THE question, I will be ready to go the long mile with 
them- to support her or him until a professional coun- 
selor can continue the walk . . . and after that if I'm 
needed. 

Excellent professional counselors are available on 
campus, that are consummately prepared to answer 



many questions, including THE question, as well as to 
assist students in finding their own answers. 

The AAA Pregnancy Center on Wood Street is liter- 
ally within a stone's throw of campus. Its mission is to 
answer THE question, to support women as they clar- 
ify their own thinking, and to provide emotional and 
spiritual support. 

All area hospitals and physicians' offices are unsur- 
prised and well prepared for THE question. Newborns 
can be left at hospitals, without their mothers fearing 
retribution, to receive the care that they so desperate- 
ly need. 

Area churches have networks within the community 
who can support women who are struggling with THE 
question. 

Most of all . . . remember that those of us who care 
enough to help women to answer THE question will 
not blame, accuse, or judge. 



How is it that I write so confidently about THE ques- 
tion? 

Before I came to campus on Monday, I took my tod- 
dler to daycare, kissed her goodbye, and wished her a 
good day. The only way that this daily routine, mun- 
dane to most, is able to happen at all in my life is 
because a young woman asked THE question. 

Another woman carried and gave birth to my daugh- 
ter, and, not only was her question answered but also 
my prayers as well. 

I am one of thousands who wait-wait for a way to 
provide an answer to THE question- adoptive parents 
are waiting "for the next time."

Hello. I am the president of 
Student Senate on Venango 
Campus. 

I have been a Senator for three 
years and acting as president for 
two of those years. I have been 
involved in many clubs, activities 
and organizations since my col- 
lege career began three years ago. 
Venango Campus" has many 
activities planned for the upcom- 
ing school year. The Phi Theta 
Kappa Honor Society is in the 
final stages of planning for our 
Halloween party. We began this 
last year and it was such a great 
success, we are going to hold 
another one. 

Campus Activities board is 
working on their winter and 
spring formals, comedy dinner 
theatre, Holiday mall trip and 
cosmic bowling, just to name a 
few. 

The Adult Learners 
Organization (ALO) has been 
putting in many long hours for the 
past year working on their ALOC 
Conference, which Venango 
Campus is hosting this year. The 
Student Senate is beginning to 
work on the planning for our 
Leadership Conference which 
will be coming up soon. 

Student Senate is continually 
working to improve campus visi- 



bility, which in turn will help 
increase campus enrollment. 

I am pleased to say that our 
enrollment has gone up again for 
the third straight year. 

Senate has helped to improve 
the lighting on campus for stu- 
dents who take night classes. 

We purchased new exercise 
equipment for the gym, and got a 
pool table to replace the old one. 
We also purchased a new elec- 
tronic sign board to help advertise 
our many upcoming events. 

Last year the Student Senate and 
Venango Campus sponsored a 
"Teddy Bear Drive" for the chil- 
dren of NYC after Sept. 11, 2001 
terrorist attacks. 

I am proud to say 1,700 teddy 
bears were delivered to NYC for 
the children affected by the 
tragedy. There were many hands 
helping us out and it was a suc- 
cess. 

Venango Campus has a lot to 
offer inside and out of the class- 
room. We would love to have you 
visit us. 

Please come and join us for our 
Senate Meetings at 5:30 p.m., 
Tuesdays, in the Private Dining 
Room in the Rhoades building. 

Venango Campus is Clarion 
University's best kept secret that 
we would like to share.

Open Mic Night displays local talent 



by Sasha Connors 
Clarion Cal j Staff Writer 

Everyone is always looking 
for something to do on a 
Saturday night in Clarion. 
Those of us who attended 
Tobeco's Open Mic night did 
not leave unsatisfied. 

Tobeco, Clarion's Literary 
and Artistic Journal, spon- 
sored its first Open Mic Night 
of the 2002-2003 academic 
year on Saturday, Oct. 19. The 
event ran from 7 to 10 p.m. at 
Michelle's Cafe on the Main 
Street of Clarion. 

Mingling among smoke, cof- 
fee, cappuccino and a myriad 
of carefully crafted words 
were poets, artists, students, 
and professors together satis- 
fying their need for a little rest 
and relation. 



Featured poet and Associate 
Professor of English and 
Creative Writing at Penn State 
Dubois, Antonio Vallone, 
wrote a special poem for the 
occasion. He read, "Ice cubes 
shifted in glasses reposition- 
ing themselves. ..and the cap- 
puccino machine hissed." 

Vallone also read from his 
book Grass Saxophones and 
gave the audience a taste of 
some of his newer poems not 
yet published. 

The night also included a 
sign-up sheet for anyone inter- 
ested in reading, singing, or 
playing music. 

Dr. Herb Luthin played the 
guitar and sang original 
pieces. One student played 
and sang covers of Simon and 
Garfunkel, The Goo Goo 
Dolls, The Beatles, and Dave 



Matthews Band. 

Many members of the 
Tobeco staff and other stu- 
dents also participated. 

The event was sponsored by 
the Clarion County Arts 
Council and included an art 
exhibition courtesy of Viz 
Artz. Many paintings, prints, 
drawings, and fabric designs 
were displayed. 

Viewer's choice was also an 
interesting part of the evening. 
Anyone in attendance was 
asked to take a look around 
the caf6 at the various art- 
works and write down which 
piece was their favorite.

"Reading" helps raise money for breast cancer research 



by Jessica Geary 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



Clarion University is taking its place as an active 
campus in the fight against breast cancer. On Friday 
Oct. 18, in Moore Hall, students, faculty and alumni 
participated in a reading fundraiser, "Reading for the 
Cure," to raise money and awareness of the cause 
and effects of breast cancer in America today. 

The Reading for the Cure raises money for 
Pittsburgh's annual "Race for the Cure." Clarion 
University has been a sponsor of the event for the 
last four years. The English Club and members of 
Sigma Tau Delta hosted a wonderful evening of 
poetry readings, prizes, and information about breast 
cancer. 

The night began with basic information provided 
by Dr. Kevin Stemmler, an English department pro- 
fessor, informing about breast cancer from his own 
family experience. 

Each reader then was introduced to share their 
poetry with the audience. Other literary writings 
could have been read at the event, such as short sto- 
ries and essays, but this year, only poetry was read. 

After each reader finished they drew a raffle tick- 
et to give away a prize donated by a local sponsor. 



Around thirty people read in this year's event. The 
poetry included original writings of students, alum- 
ni, and faculty. Many different styles and genre of 
poetry, some of which included free writing, haiku 
and humorous, helped raise money for such a worthy 
cause. 

Over a two week period, $1,200 was raised for the 
event, which allows Clarion to be a fifth year spon- 
sor in this year's Pittsburgh's "Race for the Cure." 
The selling of "Race for the Cure" t-shirts and pins 
also aided in the fundraising. 

Also, local sponsors like Papa Johns, Eat-n-Park, 
and Sally Byers, of Countryside Crafts and Quilts in 
Knox, donated items like gift certificates and a quilt 
to be raffled off during the event. All of the proceeds 
from this year's event went to the "Race for the 
Cure" and The Susan G. Komen Foundation for 
Breast Cancer Research. 

Without Sally Byers, of Countryside Crafts and 
Quilts contribution this year, the raffle would not 
have been as successful as it was. 

"Her generosity speaks volumes for the Clarion 
community and the community's support of universi- 
ty activities," said Dr. Kevin Stemmler. 

"Race for the Cure" is an annual walk or run in 
Pittsburgh to raise money for breast cancer research 



and The Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast 
Cancer Research. The Susan G. Komen Foundation 
for Breast Cancer Research was established in 1982 
by Nancy Brinker in memory of her sister, Susan G. 
Komen, who died of breast cancer at the young age 
of 36. 

"The Foundation is an international organization 
with a network of volunteers working through local 
affiliates, fighting to eradicate breast cancer as a 
life-threatening affliction by advancing screening, 
education, treatment and research," according to the 
"Race for the Cure" website. 

The Foundation is one of the nation's largest pri- 
vate founders of research for breast cancer. 

In addition to providing money for research, the 
foundation helps to fund modern breast cancer edu- 
cation, screening and treatment projects for women 
who by other means could not afford it. 

The Komen "Race for the Cure" is the largest 
foundation of its kind. It can be found in 116 cities 
in the United States and five additional cities 
throughout the world. 

Clarion has taken its place to help such a worthy 
cause, and hopes that in the future more people will 
participate in the "Reading for the Cure," if not for 
themselves then for women all over the world.

Carolyn and Carissa Movie Review 



"Abandon" your hopes for a great movie 



by Carolyn Kelley and Carissa Rosati 
Clarion Ca|l Staff Writers 

Carissa thinks this movie should skip the 
theater and go straight to video . . . 

"Abandon" was written and directed by Stephen 
Gaghan who is also known for winning the Oscar for 
his "Traffic" screenplay. The movie was not com- 
pletely terrible, but it is not a box office smash 
either. 

My advice: if you want to see this film then wait 
and rent it when it comes out on video. 

The storyline is believable for the most part. It 
starts out as one of those films that you feel like you 
have seen before, but with different characters in it. 
"Abandon" is a very typical college horror-suspense 
film. 

Then it seems the wrong ending was edited into it. 
Yes, the ending fits, but you are not ready for it. 
That is all I will tell you about that. 



The acting was good and the dialogue was not 
forced. It flowed naturally. All of the college kids' 
characters were very intelligent and seemed to have 
accomplished a lot in their college years. 

In fact, you might want to take notes on the way 
Catherine Burke (Katie Holmes) handles her inter- 
view with the prestigious firm. She is smart and 
witty and spends all her time on her schoolwork and 
trying to finish her thesis. 

Benjamin Bratt plays the part of Detective Wade 
Handler, who apparently has an alcohol problem and 
is in rehab. This character was really not believable, 
not because the acting was bad but because of his 
job. 

The film shows how the detective was guilty of a 
hit and run accident when he was drunk; this is prob- 
ably the reason he is in rehab and has a Breathalyzer 
system installed in his car. 

But then how is he able to be a Detective? Aren't 
there some kinds of regulations on what jobs you 



can get depending on your drug, alcohol and crimi- 
nal record? 

Charlie Hunnan's character is Embry Langan. He 
is an eccentric screenwriter and theater major. Both 
of his extremely wealthy parents passed away leav- 
ing him very wealthy. 

Langan was the boyfriend of Catherine Burke 
before he disappeared two years ago. 

No one even looks for him until two years later 
because his bank accounts have not been touched for 
a while. 

Langan's disappearance does not startle anyone on 
campus because he has a habit of dropping out of 
school to do random things such as travel the world 
and work different places trying to come up with an 
outstanding screenplay. 

The pace of the movie was slow. I think that there 
were too many flashback dreams. With all of 
Catherine Burke's flashbacks about her past, you do 
get that abandoned feeling. 



Carolyn personally hates old boyfriends disappearing then reappearing . . . 



The latest Paramount 
Pictures flick is "Abandon". 
This movie is classified as a 
drama and suspense/horror. 
Can anyone tell me where in 
the movie we can find the hor- 
ror? 

This latest attempt is once 
again centered on a college 
campus with a happy- 
go-lucky crowd of friends that 
are awaiting graduation and a 
fresh start into the grown up 



world. 

This is where we meet 
Catherine Burke (Katie 
Holmes, "Dawson's Creek"), 
the meek, timid, college senior 
who is finishing her thesis and 
applying for a job with a 
financing firm. 

Oh by the way, she happens 
to have this ex-boyfriend 
Embry (Charlie Hunnam), who 
has been mysteriously missing 
for two years. Two years is as

good of time as any to assign a 
freshly sobered detective to 
investigate the disappearance, 
right? This is another piece of 
the movie that doesn't fit. 
Why after all this time is the 
case reopened? What hap- 
pened to the previous investi- 
gation? What were the conclu- 
sions on that first try? 

Benjamin Bratt is detective 
Wade Handler, who is 
assigned to the case, and as 
mentioned above he is just 
returning to the job after a 
drinking related accident. He 
starts investigating the miss- 
ing person and like a typical 
"suspenseful" movie, 

Catherine suddenly sees 
Embry lurking around campus. 

"Abandon" was written and 
directed by Stephen Gaghan 
who wrote the screenplay for 
the movie "Traffic." 

The movie itself could have 
been better, but the acting was 
an improvement. My favorite 
scenes were those with 
Catherine's best friend 
Samantha played by Zoey 
Deschanel. Samantha remind- 
ed me of the kind of friend 
everyone should have, the 
kind that knows you inside 
and out. 

Bratt's storyline wasn't 
believable. He's a cop that has 
been an alcoholic his whole 
life and doesn't remember 
running over someone with his 
car. But here he is back on the 
force and all sobered up. 




Courtsey of KRT Campus 

Katie Holmes of "Dawson's Creek" fame plays Catherine Burke, 
a college student with an old boyfriend (Embry Langan) that 
disappears then reappears in the Paramount Pictures film 
"Abandon" 



Nevetheless, his character was 
believable. 

Maybe it's due to seeing 
him as a detective in every 
other role he plays. 

Katie Holmes pulls off her 
role as the believed innocent, 
but as the movie progresses 
we see that she isn't as inno- 



cent as she portrays herself to 
be. 

I agree with Carissa on this 
one, wait for "Abandon" to be 
released on video. Or head 
over to Destinta to watch it 
and try to figure out the "big 
mystery" before it hits you 
over the head.

"Oktubafest" blows Clarion away 



by Jeanette Good 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

"Oktubafest" is a low brass 
celebration of music and com- 
mon on college campuses and 
in communities nationwide. 
Organized by Dr. Jeffrey A. 
Wardlaw, Clarion University 
held "Oktubafest" this past 
weekend. 

Low Brass Ensemble, com- 
prised of trombones Michael 
Dean and Alisha Hall, bass 
trombone Justin Mickle, 
euphonium Greg Shreckengost 
and tuba Greg Vogeley, per- 
formed a dual recital with 
Brass Ensemble on Oct. 16 at 
7:30 p.m. in Marwick-Boyd 
Auditorium. Low brass pieces 
included Hertzengesang by 
Carl Pfleger and arranged by 
Irving Tallmadge, Som 
stiarnora pa himmelen by W. 
Peterson and arranged by 
Berger, "April is in My 
Mistress' Face" by Thomas 
Morely and arranged by G. 
Shreckengost, Hymn "In Festo 
Transfigurationis Domini" by 




Giovanni Palestrina, "Two 
Madrigals by Gordon Jacob, 
Pennsylvania Polka" by Lester 
Lee and Zeke Manners and 
arranged by G. Robertson and 
Oktubafest Polka. Adding a 
festive touch to the recital, the 
polkas were an excellent, ener- 
getic portrayal that low brass 
instruments really can play 
more than whole notes. 

Consisting of trumpets: 
Kevin Roessener, Michelle 
Myers, Benjamin Rearick, 
Vince Brewer, Lori Klimek 
and Jim Bane; horns: Meg 
Sapp and Sarah Kephart; trom- 
bones: Michael Dean, Alisha 
Hall and Ryan Wilson; bass 
trombone Justin Mickle; 
euphonium Greg 

Shreckengost; tubas: Greg 
Vogeley and Brad Anders, 
Brass Ensemble performed 
"Kaleidoscope for Brass" by 
Lennie Niehaus, "Wenn ein 
starker Gewappneter" by 
Johannes Brahms and arranged 
by Fred W. Teuber, "Sonata 
pian'e forte" by Giovanni 
Gabrieli, "Numismata" by 
Vaclav Nelhybel and "Annie 
May Quick Step March" by 
G.W.E. Friederich. Also, 
senior trumpet Kevin Roessner 
conducted "If Thou Be Near" 
by J.S. Bach and arranged by 
Walter Beeler for Brass 
Ensemble. 

Guest artist Daniel Burdick 
performed a tuba recital with 
pianist Donna Amato on Oct. 
17 at 7:30 p.m. in Marwick- 
Boyd Auditorium. Currently, 
the associate professor of low 
brass at Edinboro University, 
Dr. Daniel Burdick has also 
taught at Bowling Green State 
University, the University of 
Missouri-Kansas City, the 
University of Kentrucky at 
Lexington and the Interlochen 
Center for the Arts. His perfor- 
mance pieces consisted of 
"Sonata for Tuba and Piano" 
by Bruce Broughton, 

"Sventurata naviecella" by 



Antonio Vivaldi, transposed by 
Burdick, "Sonate for Tuba og 
Klavier, op. 34" by Trygve 
Madsen, "Four Tuba 

Spirituals" by Harry T. 
Burleigh, transposed by 
Burdick, and "Sonata for tuba 
and piano" by Eric Ewazen. 
Burdick projected black and 
white movie footage of Dr. 
Martin Luther King, Jr., during 
"Four Tuba Spirituals." The 
projections set the scene for 
the music and helped portray 
the arrangement and Burdick's 
interpretation to the listener; 
they forced the audience to 
view more than a bald man 
playing his tuba, on a stage, 
with a piano accompaniment. 
The collaged projections were 
timed out perfectly to make an 
artistic statement. 

Burdick also gave a master 
class at 11 a.m. in Marwick- 
Boyd Rehearsal Hall with stu- 
dents Greg Vogeley and Greg 
Shreckengost. In this master 
class, Burdick discussed 
breathing techniques and 
helped the students with pieces 
they are currently working on. 
When he played along with the 
students, other student audi- 
ence members commented on 
how his intense, rich sound 
made their chairs vibrate. 

Senior euphonium recital by 
Greg Shreckengost with Joy 
Shreckengost on piano accom- 
paniment occurred Oct. 18 at 
7:30 p.m. in Hart Chapel. 
Repertoire included "Sonata 
No. 5" by Antonio Vivaldi, 
"Four Short Narratives for 
solo Euphonium" by Neal 
Corwell, "Rhapsody for 
Euphonium" by James 
Curnow, "Sonata for 

Euphonium and Piano" by 
Alec Wilder and "Bride of the 
Waves - Polka Brillante" by 
Herbert L. Clark. 

Shreckengost played with a 
sweet, deep sound and filled 
the chapel with every note. 

Greg Vogeley performed his 



senior tuba recital with Joy 
Shreckengost on piano on Oct. 
19 at 3:15 p.m. in Hart Chapel. 
His performance included

Telemann and arranged by 
L.W. Chidester, "Sonata for 
Tuba and Piano" by Alec 
Wilder, "Five Songs" by 
Johannes Brahms and arranged

Also this weekend, the 
Department of Music present- 
ed the 2002 Contemporary 
Concert on Oct. 20 at 3:15 on 
the main stage of the Marwick- 
Boyd Auditorium. Upon 
arrival, the ushers instructed 
audience members to sit on the 
main stage. Dr. Brent Register, 
at the opening of the concert, 
explained that they wanted the 
audience to have a more inti- 
mate feeling with the perform- 
ers and view the concert more 
in the eyes of the performers. 

Register and Dr. Paula 
Amrod performed a duet 
together "Satie's Blues" by 
Toby Twining, using a 
Steinway piano and a toy 
Schoenhut piano. Dr. Glenda 
Cloutier played trumpet along

bone, performing three of the 
"Dialogues for Trumpet and 
Trombone" by David Borden. 
Dr. Phil Terman read his poet- 
ry "Days of Awe: an Autumn 
Sequence," including ten 
poems with topics ranging 
from canning sour tomatoes to 
the changing of the seasons. 

Dr. Karen Dannessa per-

Music Review 



Jennifer Love Hewitt tries once again 



by Anne Golden 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Jennifer Love Hewitt's latest 
release, "Bare Naked," might 
actually be her first successful 
release with good reason. 

Jennifer Love Hewitt has 
made a successful living act- 
ing, and few may not know 
that she started her career 
doing both acting and singing. 
She started her career on the 
Disney Channel's "Kids 
Incorporated," acting (quite 
horribly actually) and singing 
cover songs of popular artists. 
After a few unsuccessful 
albums and making a good liv- 
ing acting on the TV show 
"Party Of Five" and starring in 
films such as "I Know What 
You Did Last Summer," "Can't 
Hardly Wait," and most recent- 
ly the box office bomb, "The 
Tuxedo," she tries once again 
to make it as a singer as well. 
Her first release off the 
album and title track, "Bare 



Naked" is a good example of 
what music niche Jennifer 
should stick to. The song 
catches listeners with the title 
alone. Imagine guys all over 
America seeing and hearing 
the words "Bare Naked- 
Jennifer Love Hewitt" together 
and their immediate attention. 

The song is really catchy and 
has great radio play. The song 
is about having bad days, 
which everyone has and hav- 
ing that feeling of being 
caught bare naked in front of 
everyone. Although the lyrics 
are simple, they show maturity 
and are more advanced than 
any of the other pop artists' 
lyrics like Britney Spears. 

Her lyrics are an example of 
a new and "it's about time" 
trend going on in music today. 
More female artists are going 
off the beaten path of typical 
pop artists and actually mak- 
ing listeners think about what 
their songs mean. (Think 
Michelle Branch and Vanessa 



Carlton) 

Jennifer Love Hewitt's voice 
is surprisingly good. Not too 
many actors turn singers have 
the voice she possesses. She 
has the type of talent people 
should be jealous of, success- 
ful acting career, beauty, nice- 
ness, and a good voice that 
adds to the total package. She 
showcases her voice on a sur- 
prising pick, an acappela cover 
of Janis Joplin's "Me And 
Bobby McGee." She does it 
justice. Many people should 
not mess with Janis' songs, but 
Jennifer actually sings it very 
well. 

The album flows well from 
song to song with her use of 
instruments, a basic band of 
acoustic and electric guitar, 
bass, and drums. Sometimes 
voice distortion is used, seem- 
ingly to make Jennifer Love 
Hewitt seem a little edgy and 
harder. Barely any synthesiz- 
ers are used except on the 
track "I Know You Will," with 



a very familiar sample, see if 
you can figure where it is 
from. 

Her next radio release should 
be "Can I Go Now." It has a 
ska beat and a strong chorus. 
Sounds like an attempt at what 
should be a No Doubt song, 
but Hewitt keeps it simple and 
does not try to compete with 
Gwen Stefani. 

She includes a few "ballads" 
on her album, but with a faster 
pace and none declaring 
absolute love. Her lyrics keep 
it real on this CD, and she does 
not go overboard with love 
themes and keeps a level head 
on her songs. 

"You" starts off sounding 
like "Eternal Flame" from The 
Bangles, but quickly changes 
and utilizes smart lyrics. 

"Stand In Your Way" is a 
good song that does not follow 
the typical break up song 
rules. Her lyrics, "I will not let 
you go quietly, lock all the 
doors, then you'll be sure 



...I'm. gonna stand in your 
way," let the listener know that 
she is worth it and that she is 
not going to let her man go. 

"Stronger" is an uplifting 
song that even uses a choir and 
violins. It speaks to the listen- 
ers who have just lost someone 
they love due to a break up or 
something else, and gives them 
hope about what is to come. It 
reminds them that life goes on 
and that everyone has been 
there, and to be "Stronger than 
before." 

Jennifer Love Hewitt's 
album was produced by the 
one-hit wonder Meredith 
Brooks (the song "Bitch" was 
her claim to fame) and she has 
molded her into a similar 
artist, but because Hewitt is so 
multi-talented, with this 
release she may actually stay 
in the music world. Overall, it 
is worth the money for it, and 
you have to give Hewitt props 
for giving it a go one more 
time.

Stating your case for the 




stupidest state 



DAVE BARRY 



An outfit calling itself 
"Morgan Quitno Press" recent- 
ly ranked the 50 United States 
in order of intelligence, and I 
am TICKED OFF. My state, 
Florida, came in 47th. Can you 
believe that? Forty-seventh! 
How dare they? How dare they 
suggest that Florida is more 
intelligent than three other 
states? No way! 

The three states ranked as 
stupider than Florida were 
Mississippi, Louisiana and 
New Mexico. Granted, these 
are not gifted states. But stu- 
pider than Florida? Stupider 
than the state that STILL does 
not really know who it voted 
for in the 2000 presidential 
election? Stupider than the 
state that will issue a driver's 
license to ANYBODY, in- 
cluding people who steer by 
leaning out the car window and 
tapping their canes on the road- 
way? Don't make me laugh. 

So I did a little research into 
this "Morgan Quitno Press," 
which as you may know can be 
rearranged to spell "Squirts on 
a Porn Gem." It seems that this 
outfit has made a reputation for 



Syndicated Writer 

itself by ranking states accord- 
ing to Livability, Safety, 
Average Butt Size, etc. 

Some of the rankings are 
shaky, if you ask me. For 
example, for six years in a row, 
"Morgan Quitno Press" 
declared that the Most Livable 
State is Minnesota. My ques- 
tion is: Most livable for what 
species? Caribou? Has 
"Morgan Quitno Press" ever 
actually BEEN in Minnesota 
during the winter months 
(September-June) when you 
begin your day by putting in 30 
minutes with an ice scraper? 
And that's just to clear your 
bathroom mirror? 

"Morgan Quitno Press" 
declared that the Safest State — 
also for six years in a row ~ 
was North Dakota. This makes 
more sense. You're not going to 
have a lot of crime in an area 
with essentially the same popu- 
lation density as Jupiter. Even 
if you TRY to commit a rob- 
bery in North Dakota, the vic- 
tim will be so happy to have 
human companionship that he 
or she will invite you home for 
traditional North Dakota cui- 



sine (Pork V Marshmallow 
Jell-0 Casserole Surprise). 

But "Morgan Quitno Press" is 
way off base with its state 
intelligence rankings. The 
problem is that the ranking sys- 
tem is based on each state's 
public-education system — 
class size, test scores, etc. This 
does NOT determine state 
intelligence. It only determines 
STUDENT intelligence, and 
there are certain states (you 
know who you are) where the 
first thing that the intelligent 
students say when they gradu- 
ate is: "I'm getting OUT of this 
armpit!" 

No, to scientifically deter- 
mine which states truly belong 
at the top — and, more impor- 
tant, the bottom — of the 
national intelligence scale, we 
need to consider the Five Key 
Indicators of State Stupidity: 
•1. STATE NICKNAME: For 
nickname stupidity, no state 
challenges Indiana, which 
proudly calls itself "The 
Hoosier State," even though 
nobody has a clue what 
"Hoosier" means. It could be a 
Native American word mean- 



ing "Has sex with caribou." 
*2. STATE MOTTO: The win- 
ner here is Washington, whose 
motto is — get ready to be 
inspired — "By and by." 
*3. STATE SONG: The state 
song of Idaho is Here We Have 
Idaho. 

♦4. OFFICIAL STATE 
THINGS: Here the competition 
gets tougher. Alabama, 
Missouri and Oregon have all 
declared an Official State Nut. 
Massachusetts and New 
Mexico both have an Official 
State Cookie. Utah has an 
Official State Cooking Pot. 
Texas has an Official State 
Flying Mammal (the Mexican 
Freetailed Bat). But the winner 
in this category is a five-way 
tie among Maine, Michigan, 
Nebraska, South Dakota and 
Wisconsin, all of which have 
taken time out of their busy 
schedules to declare an Official 
State Soil. 

*5. PRESENCE IN THE 
STATE OF AN ENORMOUS 
TWINE BALL -- This indica- 
tor applies to states where a 
resident, seeking to set a 
world's record for largest ball 



of twine, spent literally years 
of his life wrapping twine into 
an enormous ball that wound 
up weighing more than eight 
tons; and THEN, when the 
individual died, the communi- 
ty, instead of quietly transport- 
ing the ball to a landfill and 
leaving it there, not only built a 
public gazebo to display the 
ball as a tourist attraction, but 
also created an annual festival 
to celebrate it. According to the 
Internet site www.roadsideam- 
erica.com, there are ~ believe 
it or not ~ TWO such states: 
Minnesota, where the residents 
of Darwin celebrate "Twine 
Ball Days"; and Kansas, where 
the residents of Cawker City 
hold a "Twine-a-Thon." 

So which state, when we 
weigh all these factors, is the 
stupidest? 

This question has no easy 
answer. No, wait, it does: 
Kansas. I say this not so much 
because of the twine ball, but 
because Lawrence, Kansas, is 
the home of "Morgan Quitno 
Press." Consequently it gets a 
LOT of votes. At least the way 
we count them here in Florida. 



"Mission Improvable" fails mission to find audience 



by Beth LeVier-Pentz 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



An improvisational comedy group 
from Chicago called "Mission 
Improvable" preformed on Oct. 16 in 
the Gemmell Multipurpose room at 8 
p.m. The event was sponsored by the 
UAB. Mission Improvable has worked 
with such groups as the performers on 
"Saturday Night Live," "Mad T.V." and 
"Whose Line is it Anyway." 

"Mission Improvable" consisted of 
five men dressed as secret agents. 
They wore black pants with white 
shirts, they had on black ties and shoes 
as well. They had a real "Men in 
Black" thing going on except instead 
of the sunglasses they had whistles and 
stopwatches around their necks. The 
five agents were named Cobra, 
Hurricane, Masquerade, Falcon and 
Sliver. 



The group warmed up the audience 
with a mini-wave and a skit where the 
audience calls out objects for three of 
the group members to perform for an 
agent who was taken outside so he 
couldn't hear the audience's choices. It 
consisted of goofy objects like a tennis 
racket being used as a salmon and a 
ball they used as a ferret. The hard part 
was the three agents had to use cha- 
rades and speak in gibberish to get the 
fourth agent to guess the objects the 
audience suggested. By the end of this 
skit the audience was in stitches and 
hungry for more. 

For the rest of the evening, the group 
used a black round ball they referred to 
as "The Bomb." It contained numbers 
to mission envelopes that they had 
handed out at the beginning of the 
show. 

If an audience members number was 
called out that individual was to yell 



out, "I have a mission should you 
chose to accept it." 

And then that envelope was ripped 
open and the group preformed what 
was inside. 

Mission Improvable was not only 
funny but they did a good job interact- 
ing with the audience as well. The 
audience always helped the spokesper- 
son agent count down each scene. And 
in two of the skits, audience members 
were chosen to come up on the stage to 
help participate. 

In the one skit, two girls from the 
audience were supposed to finish two 
of the agents' sentences when they 
were tapped on the shoulder. This did- 
n't go too smoothly, however, because 
both of the girls were shy and wouldn't 
speak when they were suppose to do. 
Instead, they would blush and break 
into fits of laughter. 
In the second skit, which was called 



"Moving Bodies," one male student 
had to come up on stage and move the 
agents' arms and legs as they spoke, 
and move them around the stage. 

In all the skits, the audience yelled 
out suggestions for the agents to per- 
form. 

Throughout the evening we were 
introduced to many characters and 
good impersonations — one of my 
favorites being Richard Simmons. At 
times the language got a little out of 
control but the audience didn't seem to 
mind it made them laugh all the harder. 

Unfortunately, there was a poor turn 
out for this event. Those who didn't 
attend really missed a good time. It 
was definitely a night full of fun and 
laughter - almost like watching a live 
version of "Whose Line is it Anyway." 
And if you are a fan of this show you 
would have liked "Mission 
Improvable."

The Golden Eagle swimming team 
enters its first meet of the fall with 
the Edinboro pre-season invitational 
this Friday, Oct. 25 at Edinboro 
University. Clarion swimmers will 
compete against Slippery Rock, IUP, 
and Edinboro during the meet, but 
look forward to matching up against 
even more teams throughout the 
remainder of the season. With many 
returning lettermen, PSAC 

Champions, and NCAA All- 
Americans, this squad may be in for 
their best season in several years. 
The diving team will also be in 
action this weekend as they host the 
annual Clarion Diving Invitational 
on Sunday, Oct. 27. 

The swimming team is led by 
third year head coach, Mark 
VanDyke and assisted by third year 
assistant coach, Christina Tillotson 
while 13-year head coach, Dave 
Hrovat instructs the divers. Paving 
the way for the Golden Eagles for 
the 2002-03 Season are mens team 
captains, Bill Wright and Ben 
Chandlee, while Katie Zimmer and 
diver, Jessica Waldman, guide the 
women. Both swimming and diving 
teams acquired impressive rosters, 
gaining many athletes who will con- 
tribute to Clarion's renowned back- 
ground. Returning NCAA All- 



Americans for the mens team 
include Wright, Chandlee, Shawn 
Colten, Ray Murray and Aaron Bell. 
NCAA Ail-Americans representing 
the womens team this season are 
Jessica Waldman, Melissa Baer, 
Abby Koch, Bethany Bankovich, 
Jessica DiLoreto, Brandi Smithson, 
Abby Starsinic, Megan Trimbur and 
Bethany Turse. 

In addition to the returning 
NCAA Ail-Americans, nearly every 
returning team member holds PSAC 
finalist or champion titles. Back in 
the water this season for the men's 
team is school record holder, PSAC 
"Rookie of the year", and PSAC 
"Swimmer of the Meet," Brian 
Nicholas. Along with Nicholas, 
other returning PSAC champions 
include Wright, Chandlee, Bell, and 
Beau Caldwell, while Scott Wilson, 
Chris Strauber, Mike McConnell, 
Eric Dams, Byron Smith, Aaron 
Cline, Kevin DiVincenzo, Jeff Alley 
and Ryan Wiehagen return to capture 
additional PSAC finalist titles. In 
addition to these members, the 
incoming freshman class of Kevin 
McCracken, Mike Chesterfield, 
Chris Jones, Adam Ryan, Kyle 
Wamelink, and Mike Gressler, and 
transfer, Adam Conway, possess 
much talented ability that will aid 
the team in possibly winning a 
PSAC title. 

The womens team also dominates

with returning PSAC finalists 
including Baer, Bankovich, 

DiLoreto, Koch, Smithson,

Smith and Aimee Weis. Aiding to the 
women's roster is the powerhouse 
freshmen class of, Sarah Besecker, 
Julie Dlugos, Jessica Ewald, Brehan 
Heebner, Lauren Kalata and Lindsay 
Walsh. The team also acquired 
Michigan State transfer, Jessica 
Brutz to assist in raking in major 
points at all levels of competition. 
With combined efforts, the women 
might be able to slip past PSAC

upcoming season. Their first meet iis 

rival, West Chester University, and 
capture a PSAC crown. 

Training hard and working 
together will be the true test of the 
team with the longest season at 
Clarion University. Despite of the 
lengthy schedule and three-hour- 
long practices, the team seems opti- 
mistic and looking forward to many 
victories yet to come. With their 
main focus on West Chester, the 
Golden Eagles enter the 2002-03 
season poised and mentally prepared 
for what lies ahead.

Cross Country looks 
towards Championships 



by Erin Witner 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

The Mens and Womens cross- 
country team will travel to 
Gettysburg, Pa. this Saturday to 
compete in the Gettysburg 
Invitational . Along with touring 
the sites, the team will have their 
mind set on winning. 

After having a few weeks off, 
both the men and women are ready 
to get back into competition . 
Gettysburg has a gcx>d course to 
record fast times. 

The mens team, which is full of 
young talent, has been improving 
as the season progresses and is only 
looking to get better with the sea- 
son coming to an end. The wom- 
ens team is ranked third in the East 
which gives them a good chance at 
getting a bid to Nationals. 

The ladies are looking to stay 
strong this weekend and challenge 



themselves to maintain their rank- 
ing. Clarion's Cross-Country team 
has never been to Nationals and 
Coach Mooney says the team is 
very excited about what opportuni- 
ties they might face. 

The team will compete at the 
Championship Conference meet at 
Edinboro on Nov. 2. After the 
Championship meet will be the 
National Qualifiers meet, where the 
ladies must finish in the top three to 
go to Nationals. Coach Mooney 
has no doubt that the ladies can take 
home a top finish. The Lady Eagies 
have won their past two invitation- 
al's at Duquesne and Lock Haven. 
"The ladies team started off 
strong and just continued to get bet- 
ter, we are right on target, and 
where we should be," said Coach 
Money. 

The National competition will be 
held in Ashland, Ohio on Nov. 23.

Ask any winning team their 
secrets to success and they 
will surely reveal that true 
power lies within the fresh- 
men recruiting class. Without 
a squad of powerhouse fresh- 
men, an athletic team cannot 
survive the losses of an expe- 
rienced senior class. Over the 
past few years, many individ- 
uals and freshmen classes 
have stepped up to the plate 
and taken on leadership roles. 
As a swimmer, I've wit- 
nessed and partaken in this 
very phenomenon over the 
past three years. I c£n honest- 
ly say that this freshmen class 
impresses me greatly. Every 
practice, these freshmen fear- 
lessly jump right into the 
lanes of the upperclassmen, 
and surpass many of them. 
They have such positive atti- 
tudes and view every set as a 
means of attaining their goals. 
Their enthusiasm rubs off on 
me. 

I don't exactly know what 
drives these freshmen to work 
the way they do, but thinking 
back to my freshmen ' year 
(what a wild ride that was), I 
know that everyone wants 
recognition. Freshmen want to 
create a solid reputation, not 
just act as another face in the 
crowd or bench warmer. They 
want to carve their names into 
Clarion history. 

I admit that I first noticed 
this freshmen domination last 



year when our very own Brian 
Nicholas won the "'Rookie of 
the Year" and "Swimmer of 
the Meet" at the PSAC 
Swimming championships at 
Clarion University. Nicholas, 
won three individual events 
and broke the school record in 
the 1,000 yard freestyle. He 
served as a prime example of a 
freshman stepping up to the 
plate. 

Clarion's Matt Guyton also 
showed the PSAC how to play 
golf last year when he individ- 
ually won several tournaments 
and aided the team in winning 
the PSAC title. Guyton cap- 
tured the "Rookie of the Year" 
title for his outstanding per- 
formances. Guyton also con- 
tinued this winning streak for 
the fall golf season, and added 
many more individual tourna 
ment wins to his list. 

This year, Golden Eagle 
cross country runner, Anna 
Beck led the women to several 
first place wins with her out- 
standing talent and leadership 
ability. Beck was "Runner of 
the Week" for the week ending 
Sept. 28 for leading Clarion to 
the team title at the Duquesne 
Invitational by finishing sev 
enth .overall and second 
among Division II runners 
She crossed the finish line of 
the five-kilometer course in 
18:55. Beck was Clarion's top 
runner for the duration of the 
season. 

The mentioned freshmen 
are only a few in the vast 
number of individuals who 
excel in their sport. On every 
team, incoming freshmen 
work to prove their worth and 
ability each day. They want 
recognition, and have huge 
hearts when it comes to work 
ing for it. Before I leave you 
for the week, I just want to let 
all of you freshmen competi- 
tors know that we, the upper- 
classmen, notice you. We 
notice you nipping our heels, 
we notice you passing us on 
the sets, and you make us want 
to be better. You are the back 
bone of our teams.

Womens Soccer falls to Edinboro in a close match 




by Natasha Barbour 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 



The Lady Eagle Soccer team continues to make 
strides in the 2002 season. Although their record 
might not show it, they have come a long way in just 
one year. Unlike last season, their opponents have 
only defeated them by one or two goals and they 
have been able to stay with their opponents level of 
play. Last week, they faced Lock Haven, who is 
nationally ranked eighth and held them to only a 3-0 
victory. 

In yesterdays game against Edinboro, the game was 
scoreless at the end of the first half. In the second 
half, both teams came out more agressive and hungry 
for the win. With only 15 minutes into the half, for- 
ward Marianna Reino scored off an assist from her 
twin sister Josephine Reino to give Clarion a 1-0 



lead. The Fighting Scots of Edinboro then came back 
to tie it up 1-1. Unfortunatley, with just minutes left 
in the second half, Edinboro got lucky and scored to 
get to the 2-1 win. 

"It's disappointing to be up and then lose 2-1, but 
that is something we will have to work on in prac- 
tice, but our team has become so much better and we 
have so much to be proud of," said sophomore 
Nicole Bell.

Clarion bolted to a 24-0 third quarter lead 
on Adam Almashy's 12-yard touchdown pass 
to Chad Thompson on a fake field goal 
attempt, then held on to defeat Edinboro at 
Sox Harrison Stadium on Saturday afternoon 
24-18. 

The Golden Eagles, ranked 7th in the East 
Region, upped their record to 5-2 overall and 
1-1 in the PSAC-West, while Edinboro 
dropped to 3-4 overall and 0-3 in the PSAC- 
West. 

"This was a big road win for us," com- 
mented Clarion Head Coach Malen Luke. 
"We played a very strong first half and really 
took control of the momentum in the third 
quarter, but failed to put the game away 
when we had the chance. Give Edinboro 
credit, they battled back and made a real run 
at us. I was happy we were able to control the 
football and run out the clock for the final 
five minutes of the game." 

On a cool, blustery and rain-soaked field, 
Clarion used its potent rushing offense to 
help build a 17-0 halftime lead and a 24-0 
bulge early in the third quarter. 

Ranked 4th in the nation averaging 293.8 
yards per game, the Eagles scored on their 
opening drive of the game moving 80 yards 
in seven plays, including 61 rushing yards. 
The big play in the drive came on third and 
20 at the Edinboro 24, when Eagle quatrback 



Adam Almashy hit Ben Culver for 19 yards 
to the Boro 5. 

On fourth and one, Clarion head coach 
Malen Luke disdained the field goal and it 
paid dividends as Almashy scored on a 5- 
yard run and gave Clarion a 7-0 lead at 1 1 : 1 1 . 

Clarion's defense helped set up the next 
score. Corner Myron Hargon picked off a 
Cam Marsh pass at the Clarion 39 and 
returned it 15 yards to the Edinboro 46. 
Eagle halfback Glenn Lovelace took care of 
the rest. He ran 17 yards to the Scot 29, then 
bolted into the endzone on the next play giv- 
ing Clarion a 14-0 lead with 8:15 left in the 
first quarter. 

Early in the second quarter the Eagle 
defense kept the Scots off the board when 
Tim Connolly blocked Geoff Heyl's 38-yard 
field goal attempt. Clarion moved out to a 
17-0 lead on a 59-yard, six-play drive that 
was capped by Chris Carlton's 23-yard field 
goal with 7:29 left before halftime. The 
Eagles had first and goal at the Boro 6 after 
Robert Walker ran 51 yards, but the Scot 
defense stiffened and Carlton came on for his 
sixth field goal of the year. 

Clarion's special teams set up the final 
Eagle touchdown. With Edinboro in punt 
formation, Andy Tenney broke through 
untouched and blocked a Sean McNicholas 
punt at the. Boro 26 and Korey Eppinette 
scooped up the pigskin and returned it to the 
Scot 20. 

On fourth and 2 at the Scot 12, Carlton 



lined up for a 30-yard field attempt, but hold- 
er Adam Almashy already had the fake field 
goal called. Almashy took the snap, rolled 
right and hit Chad Thompson all alone in the 
endzone for a 12-yard touchdown pass. 
Carlton's PAT was good and Clarion led 24- 
with 11:45 left in the third. 

Edinboro's march back started with an 
Alonzo Roebuck 59-yard touchdown run on 
the Scots next possession, but a failed snap 
resulted in Edinboro only reducing the mar- 
gin to 24-6 at 10:18. 

Late in the third quarter the Scots had a first 
and goal at the Clarion seven, but the defense 
held and forced Edinboro to settle for a 22- 
yard field goal by Heyl pulling Edinboro to 
within 20-9 at 1:37. 

Edinboro drove 79-yards in seven plays on 
its next possession and capped the drive with 
a 21 -yard touchdown run by Alonzo 
Roebuck. The PAT failed and Clarion held a 
24-15 lead with 10:22 left in the game. 

On Edinboro's next possession Heyl boot- 
ed a 39-yard field goal with only 4:50 
remaining pulling the Scots to within six 
points at 24- 1 8. Clarion took the kickoff and 
ran out the final 4:50 to preserve the win. The 
key play in the drive came on fourth and a 
foot with the Eagles on their own 33 yard 
line. Almashy leaped across the line for the 
first down to keep eontol of the football. He 
dashed 39-yards to the Edinboro 15 three 
plays later and the Eagles had their fifth win 
of the season. 



"We decided to go for it on fourth down," 
said Clarion's Luke. "We felt if we were a 
championship caliber team that we should 
win it right there on the field. If they stopped 
us, so be it. Our defense was tired and we 
didn't want to have to put them back on the 
field in that position." 

The Golden Eagles racked up 307 rushing 
yards and 338 yards of total offense on the 
day. Tailback Robert Walker gained 116 
yards on 14 carries and Lovelace ran for 72 
yards and one touchdown on only seven 
tries. Almashy gained 59 yards andone 
touchdown on 13 tries, plus completed two 
of 1 1 passes for 3 1 yards and one touchdown. 

Shaun Saad led the defense with eight tack- 
les and one break-up, while Kevin Platz had 
two sacks and three tackle for losses, and 
Myron Hargon an interception and a break- 
up. 

Edinboro's offense totaled 392 yards 
including 184 on the ground and 208 through 
the air. Roebuck paced the running game 
with 146 yards and two touchdowns on 214 
carries, including 132 yards in the second 
half. Cam Marsh completed 10 of 27 for 104 
yards, but was knocked out of the game in 
the -third quarter and Justin Bouch came in to 
complete 6 of 12 for 104 yards. Sean Hess 
caught 6 passes for 96 yards. 

Clarion returns home to take on 
Shippensburg next Saturday in a big PSAC- 
West game, while Edinboro travels to 
Slippery Rock.

Two assaults reported on campus 



by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

Two assaults of female 
students have been reported 
on Clarion University's 
main campus. 

The most recent attack 
took place at approximately 
2:15 a.m., Oct. 24, near 
Hart Chapel. 

According to public safe- 
ty, the female student 
reported that two males 
pushed her into the fence 
by Hart Chapel. A passerby 
stopped, causing the two 



males to run from the 
scene. 

Clarion Borough Police 
Officer Richard Foust was 
the first police officer on 
the scene after occupants in 
an automobile flagged him 
down in front of the 
Clarion University 

Admissions building. 

According to Clarion 
Borough Police Officer 
William Peck IV, the car 
occupants told Foust that 
something had happened to 
a female walking east on 
Wood Street. Foust report- 



edly questioned the female 
when he arrived on the 
scene. 

The female got a ride 
home from the scene with a 
friend, Peck said. 

Clarion Borough Police 
referred the student to 
Clarion University Public 
Safety because the incident 
happened on campus. 

The first incident 
occurred at 1 a.m., Oct. 2 
on Main Street near 
Wilkinson Hall. 

The female reported that 
two men grabbed her from

behind, but she was able to 
get away. According to a 
crime alert from Public 
Safety, the two men fled 
the scene. 

Public Safety doesn't 
have any leads on either of 
the cases and neither one of 
the females was harmed. 

"There's very little infor- 
mation," said Dave 
Tedjeske, director of Public 
Safety. 

However, both cases are 
being investigated by 
Public Safety Officer 
Gregg Smith, of the 
Victim's Services Office. 

Tedjeske said although 
Public Safety doesn't have 
evidence that the two cases 
are related, the incidents 
are similar. 

"I can't stress enough 
that people who are victim- 
ized need to come forward 
and report these types of 
incidents," Tedjeske said. 

Reports need to come 
from the victim first-hand 
and not through second- 
hand reports, added 
Tedjeske. 

"Victims who report 
crimes are not obligated to 
prosecute," said Tedjeske. 

Tedjeske explained it is 
important for victims to 
make Public Safety aware 
of incidents so they (Public 
Safety) can make the uni- 
versity community aware of 
potential danger. 

Public Safety encourages 
anyone with any informa- 
tion on these incidents to 
contact their office. 

No one was seriously, 
physically harmed during 
either incident. 

"I personally like to walk 
my female friends home. I 
feel it's necessary," said

for the win. With only 15 minutes into the half, for- 
ward Mananna Reino scored off an assist from her 
twin sister Josephine Reino to give Clarion a 1-0 



lead. The Fighting Scots o\ Edinboro then came back 
to tie it up 1-1. Unfortunatley, with just minutes left 
in the second half. Edinboro got luck) and scored to

"It's disappointing to be up and then lose 2-1. but 
that is something we will have to work on in prac- 
tice, but our team has become so much better and we 
have so much to be proud of," said sophomore 
Nicole Bell.

Minority services moves to Gemmell Student Center 




by Denise Carter 
.Clarion OjB Staff Writer 

The Office of Minority 
Services has relocated to 227 
of the Gemmell Student 
Complex due to the reorgani- 
zation of the University and 
Student Affairs division. 



The office of 

Minority Student 

Services should not be 

stigmatized as just a 

place for minorities. 99 

-Rogers Laugand 



The office was previously 
located on the first floor of 
Becht Hall. 

"The office of Minority stu- 
dent services should not be 
stigmatized as just a place for 
only minorities," said Rogers 
Laugand, the director of the 
office of minority student ser- 



vices. "We work with every- 
one, but there is an emphasis 
on helping minorities." 

According to the Clarion 
University newswire, the 
Minority Student Services 
Office is now part of the 
Personal and Professional 
Success Center. 

The office was created as an 
actual place for minority stu- 
dents to go when they need 
help. 

"It's a good place to go when 
you need help with some- 
thing," said Shandia Booker, a 
freshman elementary educa- 
tion major and a recipient of 
the Board of Governors schol- 
arship. 

"It's sort of a home away 
from home," said Laugand. 

The office will be open from 
8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday 
through Friday. 

According to the Clarion 
University newswire, Laugand 
plans to have the Multicultural 
Center, which houses multi- 
cultural activities, available 



three days a week, two differ- 
ent hours of the day, for a 
reading hour. 

Laugand wants to build a 
library of books related to 
minority issues to be kept at 
the Center. The Multicultural 
Center may also be reserved 
for meetings and other student 
activities. 

The Multicultural Center 
used to be home to the 
Returning Adults and 

Commuting Students (RACS) 
lounge. 

According to the Clarion 
University newswire Laugand 
said "I hope we will see more 
traffic through the office now 
that we are relocated to 
Gemmell." 

"We want to continue our 
current collaborations and 
build new ones. Our proximity 
to student organizations and 
program centers in this build- 
ing should make that possible. 
We are open to all ideas that 
will attract more visitors to 
our office," said Laugand.

The Office of Minority Student Services recently moved to 
Gemmell Student Complex. 



The office sponsored an 
International food night along 
with the University Activities 
Board (UAB) on Oct. 24. 

The office also supports stu- 
dent endeavors. 

In the past students have put 
together fashion shows and 
plays. 

The office can help with the 



cost and offer guidance. 

Those with ideas or sugges- 
tions can contact the office at 
393-2043. 

"Now that Minority Services 
is in Gemmell Center I think I 
might stop by and see what 
they have to offer," said 
sophomore art major Amy 
Rakieski. 



Americans 



by Emma Ward 
.Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Seven young African 
American men from Clarion 
University came together 
Tuesday to tackle several issues 
of concern facing the 
"Emerging Black Man," in 
today's environment. 

Director of Minority Student 
Services Rogers J. Laugand 
hosted the presentation. 

"The purpose of this program 
is to increase the involvement 
of black men in higher educa- 
tion," said Laugand. 

All of the men on the panel 
shared their ideas and thoughts 
and also summarized what they 
concluded from a recent semi- 
nar they attended in Pittsburgh 
that also focused on related top- 



ics prohibiting the "Emerging 
Black Man." 

One of the topics covered at 
the presentation was "Keeping 



€6 

Pride is respecting 
things that have been 
given to me from peo- 
ple that worked hard 
for them. 99 

-Derek Jones 



it Real vs. Selling Out." 

"One of the things I learned 
was to be relentless in your 
goals and in your life. Keeping 
it real to me is staying true to 
yourself, family and where you 
came from," said Eric Day, a 



junior art major. " "Selling out 
is forgetting who you are, your 
family and where you came 
from." 

As the debate continued, the 
issue of whether or not inter- 
racial dating is considered to be 
"selling out." 

"Personally I don't have a 
problem with it," said Junior 
Biology major Demar Manuel. 
"It's not selling out to me 
because it is someone passing 
judgment on who you are." 

"When they start to disrespect 
the women in their race, then 
that's what I have a problem 
with because that's a reflection 
on yourself," said Day. 

"With age comes maturity and 
you become more open-minded 
to certain things," said Tynell 
Williams a junior Liberal 



Studies major. 

Williams noted a number of 
disturbing statistics at the pre- 
sentation. 

"In 1999 thru 2000, approxi- 
mately 687,300 black men were 
behind bars compared to 
549,300 black men enrolled in 
higher education institutions," 
said Day. "Black males are 
more likely to be suspended 
from school, three times more 
likely to be placed in special 
education categories and 14% 
more likely to be homicide vic- 
tims than any other minority 
group." 

Day then addressed a com- 
ment made by an audience 
member in regards to friend- 
ship. 

"True friends that are down 
for you never try to shine you 



away from what it is you really 
want to do," said Day. "When 
you get to a certain age you 
come to a crossroads of what 
decisions you will make, what 
paths you will take." 

A handout entitled "Taming 
the Black Male's Pride. The 
Psychological vs. the 

Biological" was handed out, 
which defined a black man's 
pride. 

"Pride is respecting things that 
have been given to me from 
people that worked hard for 
them," said Jones.

Student Senate 



Political Science Association receives $1,098 from Senate 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Student Senate voted ( 19-0-0) to 
allocate $1,098 from its supple- 
mental account to the Political 
Science Association at Monday 
night's meeting. 

The money will allow six mem- 
bers of the association to attend a 
conference at George Washington 
University. 

The six members will meet 
United States senators and lobby- 
ists and have round table discus- 
sions. 

The association has about 20 
active members who are mainly 
juniors and seniors. 
The six members chosen to go 
will be based on seniority and 
who participates the most in the 
organization. 

The organization will be selling 
candy and candles over the 
Thanksgiving and Christmas 
breaks as a fundraiser. 

Additional members may attend 
the conference if enough money is 
raised. 

Over the past three years the 
organization has held six bake 
sales as a form of fundraising. 

Students interested in joining 
the Political Science Association 
must have taken at least three 
political science courses. 

The organization discusses 
political issues, raises awareness 
on campus about elections and 



speakers amongst other issues. 

In the president's report, Student 
Senate President Mike Phillips 
said CABS was a success with 
more than 100 people attending. 

Student Senate sponsored the 
first dance on Oct. 26. 

"I want to thank each and every 
one of you," said Phillips. "You 
have been a joy to lead." 

Phillips also told senators a 
replacement is still needed for 
Senator Sarah Snyder who 
resigned last week. 



I want to thank 
each and every one of 
you. 99 

-Mike Phillips 



Student Senate Vice President 
Jackie Collier annnounced 
Student Senate's next community 
service project. 

Senators will be ringing bells for 
the Salvation Army sometime in 
the near future. 

Senate also has a box in the 
office for senators to donate non- 
persishable food, which will be 
donated to a local charity or food 
bank. 

Collier also named Senator 
Erika Clark Senator of the Week 



for "shaking her rump at CABS," 
quipped Collier. 

In the Panhellenic and IFC 
report. Senator Janna Gallagher 
announced there will be a blood 
drive on Nov. 6 in the Gemmell 
Multi-Purpose room sponsored by 
the Panhellenic Council and IFC. 

Gallagher also announced that 
there will be a job fair at the 
Monroe vi He ExpoMart on Nov. 
13. 

More than 100 employers will 
be present at the fair. 

Tickets are $3 and can be bought 
in Egbert Hall or at the door for 
$5. 

"Mr. CU" applications will be 
handed out on Monday said 
Gallagher. 

Senator Jen Reis briefed sena- 
tors on the Weekend 
Programming Conference that she 
and Senator Ashley Walker 
attended over the weekend in 
Penn State. 

More than 103 schools from 
across the country participated in 
the conference including Hawaii, 
Arkansas, Wyoming and Utah. 

Reis told senators that Penn 
State offers numerous activities 
over the weekend including 
dances and dance lessons, bingo, 
ice skating and mini golf. 

Reis said the weekend initiative 
may start in the spring and coin- 
cide with CABS. 

For example, if the theme of 




Ben Chandlee/Clarion Call 

Erika Clark was named this week's Senator of the Week for 
her participation in the first CABS dance. 



CABS is a beach party, then the 
weekend initiative activities 
would be beach related. 

Senator Jeff Alley who is in 
charge of dining issues reported 
that a coffee shop may be built in 
the library. 

Another coffee shop will be built 
in the basement of Nair Hall by 
Fall 2003. 

The coffee shop will not only 
offer coffee, but sandwiches and 
snacks as well. 

Alley also reported that Reimer 
Snack Bar renovations should be 
completed by Fall 2004. 

One idea currently on the table 
is to swap the bookstore and the 
snack bar so that the bookstore is 



more visible. 

Chandler Dining Hall may also 
be receiving some rennovations. 

One side of the dining hall may 
be for student use while the other 
side will be for banquets and 
receptions. 

The bake shop is also expanding 
and will offer seating to students 
by January 2003. 

Senator Renee Porter announced 
that there is an envelope outside 
the senate office for any sugges- 
tions or concerns dealing with 
campus safety. 

"There are a lot of concerns 
about campus safety," said Porter. 
"This campus is really not safe 
now." 



Public Safety receives $200,000 grant for victims of violence 



by Lisa Covington 
Clarion Call Staff Write 

Clarion University's Public 
Safety department has received a 
$200,000 grant from the Justice 
Department for a Violence 
Against Women on Campus 
Prevention Project. 

The grant will be used to help 
women victims of domestic vio- 
lence. 

According to the Clarion 
University newswire. Director of 
Public Safety Dave Tedjeske said, 
"Public Safety will work with 
S.A.F.E. and PASSAGES to 
enlarge the campus and communi- 
ty resources for this effort. The 
money will help provide services 
for victims of violence and coor- 
dinate efforts on campus wide 
prevention of this crime." 

The grant will be used to fund 
a full-time investigative position, 



in which a public safety officer 
will examine assaults on campus 
such as stalking, dating abuse, 
sexual assault and other forms of 
harrassment. 

Public Safety officer Greg 
Smith is currently in charge of the 
investigation portion of this pro- 
gram. 

The grant will also fund training 
for a Public Safety officer to be in 
a full-time position involving vio- 
lence against women and the 
installation of additional surveil- 
lance cameras on campus. 

"With the large amount of 
money given they (public safety) 
should look into hiring more offi- 
cers to patrol and prevent violence 
on campus," said Amy Cohen a 
senior political science major. 

According to the Clarion 
University newswire an educa- 
tional componet will be devel- 
oped and presented to all incom- 



ing freshmen during Summer 
Orientation. 



This is one of the 
most ambitious aspects 
of the project. 99 

-Dave Tedjeske 



"This is one of the most ambi- 
tious aspects of the project," said 
Tedjeske. 

A Victims Service Office will be 
opened in Wilkinson Hall to make 
contacting Public Safety more 
convenient for residents in 
Wilkinson and Nair Hall. 

Pamphlets and information 
about on and off campus services 
for victims of abuse will be avail- 



abe in the office, which will be 
shared with student security aids. 
The security aids travel in teams 
of two patrolling residence halls 
from 9 p.m. - 3 a.m. 

"We are expecting the program 
to raise awareness on campus 
among students on availability of 
services in the Clarion area," said 
Tedjeske. 

Tedjeske stresses the impotance 
of victims reporting assaults (sex- 
ual or physical) and. any other 
crimes to Public Safety. 

Tedjeske said only two or three 
sexual assaults were reported last 
year. 

"The program will be beneficial 
here since it will devote more 
resources for students," said 
Tedjeske. 

"There have been a lot of bad 
things occurring at Clarion. I 
think it's great that Public Safety 
is getting the money," said Jen 



Hylton a junior communication 
major. 

"The money should be used to 
implement programs to prevent 
violence before it occurs," said 
Rachele Bartolone a junior ele- 
mentary education major. 

Suggestions for the Violence 
Against Women program can be 
directed to Dave Tedjeske at 393- 
2111. Students can also report 
acts of violence against them- 
selves or other safety concerns on 
the Public Safety homepage at

CUP copes with recent suicide 



by Jessica Pomraning 
Clarion Cajl Staff Writer 

Clarion University of 
Pennsylvania has recently been 
affected by the suicide of one of 
its students. C.U.P is not alone 
in dealing with these issues. 

In 2000, 29,350 people com- 
mitted suicide in the United 
States, which averages to about 
80 suicides a day. 

Suicide is the third leading 
cause of death among people 
ages 15-24 according to a pam- 
phlet from the counseling cen- 
ter. 

According to Dr. Mary Ann 
Fricko chair of the counseling 
center at Clarion University, the 
suicide rate of Clarion 



University students is average 
or below average compared to 
other schools. 

"When someone has suicidal 
thoughts they don't really want 
to die, they just want the pain to 
end," said Fricko. 

Fricko said that most people 
think about suicide because they 
feel trapped, stuck, are in a lot 
of pain or they feel helpless. 

Usually there is not just one 
cause but several problems that 
build up and lead to suicide 
according to Fricko. 

Suicide can be prevented says 
Fricko. It is okay to ask a person 
if he or she is considering sui- 
cide; you will not be putting the 
idea into their head said Fricko. 

"A friend is also welcome to 



When someone has 

suicidal thoughts they 

don 't really want to die, 

they just want the pain 

to end. 99 

-Mary Ann Fricko 



come in and talk and try to help 
bring the suicidal person in to 
talk with a counselor," said 
Fricko. 

There are many places to turn 
for help and support. 

The National Hopeline 
Network is available 24 hours a 
day at 1-800-SUICIDE. The 
Clarion University Counseling 



Center is open from 8:30 a.m.- 
12 p.m. and 1 - 4:30 p.m. The 
office is located in 148 Egbert 
Hall. 

According to a pamphlet from 
counseling services there are 
warning signs to look out for. 
Warning sig ns 
*A person talks about suicide 
*Is deeply depressed 
*Shows a lift in spirits 
*Prepares for death 
*Show changes in personality 
What leads to suicide 
*Depression 
*Mental illnesses 
*Alcohol use 
*Drug use 
*Family history 
*Brain chemistry 
*Serious illness 



Common myths 

*Myth - mentioning suicide 
may give a person the idea. 
•Fact - Suicidal people already 
have the idea. Talking about sui- 
cide can help prevent a person 
from acting on it. 
*Myth - Once people are suici- 
dal, they are beyond help. 
*Fact - The crisis period may 
only last for a limited time. The 
person may get help and 
improve. 

*Myth - People who make 
unsuccessful suicide attempts 
just want attention. 
*Fact - Often, a suicide attempt 
is a way to get attention -- it's 
the person reaching out for help. 
Dismissing the incident only 
makes matters worse. 



Keeling offers flu shots just in time for the flu season 



by Denise Carter 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Winter is almost here and that 
means one thing - the flu. 
Keeling Health Center will be 
offering flu shots for the remain- 
der of the year at a cost of $9. 

The flu season starts in 
December and lasts through 
March, however, it is not unusu- 
al to get the flu as early as 
November. 

All students are encouraged to 
get vaccinations unless an indi- 
vidual is pregnant or already ill. 



"This shot is recommended to 
anyone with asthma or chronic 
illness, especially respiratory," 
said Susan Bornak director of 
Keeling Health Center. 

Flu symptoms include chills, a 
cough, runny nose, severe tired- 
ness, body aches, sore throat and 
sometimes nausea. 

"The flu can be fatal, but only 
in the very young, infants, the 
elderly and people whose 
defenses are down," said 
Bornak. "In the college age 
group it should not be."

Some students are not afraid 
of getting the flu because it does 
not seem as severe as other ill- 
nesses. 

"I've been sick in the past and 
I don't think the flu would affect 
me that much because I have 
gotten through the worst," said 
undecided freshman Kasey 
Smith. 

College students in fact, are at 
a higher risk of getting the flu 
because they are constantly 
around other people in places 
like classrooms and dining 
areas. 

Andrea Turner, a freshman 
accounting major, said the rea- 
son she did not get the shot is 
because "she did not feel like 
she needed to." 

Darlene Hartle assistant direc- 
tor of campus life and health and 
wellness, recommends students 
receive the vaccination. 

"Your risks for exposure is 
high because of crowded envi- 
ronments," said Hartle. "Your 
resistance is low and you lose 
valuable school time if you get 
sick." 

Matt Rusiewicz, a sophomore 
business management major said 




Ben Chandee/Clarion Cal 



Employees at Keeling Health Center will become a bit more 
busy as the flu season approaches. Students can get a flu 
shot at Keeling Health Center for the remainder of the year. 



the idea of getting the flu does 
not scare him because, "it is 
only going to last so long." 

"In order to find out what dis- 
eases will appear in the United 
States, the Center for Disease 
Control (CDC) looks to see what 
diseases were prevalent in China 
the year before," said Hartle. 

The are two forms of Type A 
and one form of Type B. 

The flu shot only prevents 
against these three strains said 



Hartle. 

The flu, if mild, can be treated 
symptomatically, but if more 
severe it is necessary to seek 
medical attention because there 
might be an underlying issue. 

To avoid getting the flu, 
Bornak advises students get 
plenty of rest, stay away from 
people with the flu, do not drink 
or smoke and avoid crowds.

...I feel like I am 
always being nickled 
and dimed. 99 

-Teri Cattau 



EDITORIAL, TERI CATTAU 



Every semester the bill arrives; 
activity fee, technology fee, 
health center fee, and so forth. 
After all these "extras" are added, 
my bill is approximately $500. 

This is my fourth year at 
Clarion University and I am look- 
ing forward to graduating in May. 
But wait.. .before I can file my 
application for graduation I have 
to pay an additional $15 so that 
the university can print my diplo- 
ma. 

Now really, I'm relatively sure 
my few trips to the health center 
have not equaled the $72.24 that I 
have paid each semester. 
Especially because any medica- 
tion that has ever been prescribed 
to me has been an additional 
charge. 

Student center fee? What exact- 



•'Money, Money, Money" 

ly does this provide for me? The 
chairs in Gemmell? 

Now really, do I use $144.47 of 
Gemmell each semester myself? 
Considering I still have to pay to 
have a check cashed, copy some- 
thing, and get tickets to most 
events, I doubt that I'm really 
using that entire amount. 

Couldn't some of my excess 
money go toward printing costs? 

Don't get me wrong, I under- 
stand that everything needs 
money to operate on this campus, 
but I really don't think that the 
charges are reasonable. 

Not everyone takes advantage 
of all these resources, some peo- 
ple don't have time to use these 
resources. 

There have been at least two 
increases in tuition since I came 



Opinion 

to Clarion as a freshman. 

Every year the cost of housing 
and student fees increases. Where 
exactly is all this money going? 

Why is it that the organization I 
work for has to plead for money 
to attend a conference that will 
benefit the campus. As far as I'm 
concerned they have my activity 
fee. 

I just wish someone could break 
down the budget for this universi- 
ty so that I know exactly where 
my money is going. 

Who decides where the money 
goes? Senate? Exactly what por- 
tion of my fees do they get to 
spend? 

I really do feel that I have 
received a quality education for a 
lot less than at other schools, but 
I feel like I am always being nick- 
led and dimed. 

I have to pay $15 to apply for 
graduation, another twenty for 
my cap and gown. 

In addition, I am also planning 
to return to Clarion next year for 
my Master's degree. I can't wait 
to see my tuition costs then! 

Maybe one day I'll get enough 
time to take full advantage of the 
things for which I pay; the health 
center, all the computer labs on 
campus, the rec center, and of 
course, Gemmell 's big screen t.v.

nication sciences and disorders

President Bush's mid-term election is upon us, with the entire

Letter to the Editor 

"It could save a 
precious life." 

Dear Editor, 

I am writing to provide information to women on the Clarion Campus 
who may find themselves in a similar situation as that of Karen Mako. 
I am also writing to provide advocacy information for persons wish- 
ing to promote legislation called Safe Haven Laws in the state of 
Pennsylvania. These laws (enacted in 37 states to date) provide for 
anonymity and freedom from prosecution for women who drop off their 
babies at hospitals instead of in Dumpsters. 

Currently, the city of Pittsburgh provides this protection. There is also 
a Safe Haven organization called A Hand to Hold (1-888-978-BABY) 
which provides complete anonymity along with its services to women 
in the area. 

Anyone in desperate need of help and advice may call this number 
and receive assistance without fear of being discovered. 

Unfortunately there is no statewide legislation guaranteeing a 
woman's freedom from prosecution in this situation. Thirty-seven states 
have enacted such legislation. 

Write your State Representative and State Senator and ask them to 
introduce "Safe Haven" legislation. It could save a precious life. 

To find addresses for your state representatives, go to www.state.pa.us 
and follow links to PA Legislature.

No love lost at UAB's "Love Talk" 



by Beth LeVier-Pentz 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

A small crowd of only 40 to 50 
people turned out for "Love 
Talk" held on Oct. 29 at 8 p.m. in 
Hart Chapel. The limited atten- 
dance was either because of lack 
of interest or the wet snowy 
weather Clarion had that night. 

In my opinion, those who 
stayed at home didn't miss much. 
It was a long drawn out evening 
taking up two and a half hours of 
everyone's valuable time. 

Speakers for the talk were 
Dwayne Bryant and Michelle 
McKinney Hammond. 

Hammond is a "Love 
Relationshipologist." She has 
been on television shows such as 
"The View," "Politically 
Incorrect" "The Other Half." She 
also hosts two talk shows in 
Chicago. One of which is with 
Dwayne Bryant. Hammond has 
also written six books on rela- 
tionships, which were for sale 
that evening. 

Dwayne Bryant has been on 
"Oprah." 

The men and women were split 
up as soon as the event got start- 
ed. Because the women by far 
outnumbered the men in atten- 
dance, the women stayed in the 
auditorium and the men went 
downstairs. Being a female. I 
can't really tell you what hap- 
pened with men downstairs. 

Hammond talked to the women 
about how they viewed them- 
selves and what they thought 
their value was worth. She said 
women should never put them- 
selves on sale for a man. 

Hammond said that a woman's 
love, body, heart and mind are 
priceless. She went onto say that 
women are the power base for 
every relationship. 

She also talked about sex being 
a physical and spiritual act. 



Hammond said it is an act of 
worship because you create soul 
ties with that person. 
Furthermore, because that man 
knows the deepest part of the 
woman, it binds her to her man. 
She said the man in a woman's 
life should be her best friend. 
Hammond said that women 
should do more than simply love 
the man; they should like him as 
well. 



Never give your 
heart away unless the 

person asks for it. 

Never say 7 love you ' 

first. 99 

-Michelle Hammond 



"Dating is not for mating; it is 
for collecting data," Michelle 
Hammond said. 

Hammond said that women 
should compare dating with 
shopping. A woman should ask 
herself questions like "What is 
this person made of Are they the 
right material? Do they fit me?" 

Hammond claimed that women 
needed to find crock-pot love not 
microwave love. Basically, 
women should try to find love 
that starts out slowly and stays 
hot because couples that like 
each other and are friends first 
have long marriages. 

Finally, Hammond talked to the 
women about what makes a man 
fall in love. 

"Men want a woman they can 
trust with their dreams, and he 
knows his heart is safe with her," 
she said. "A woman makes a man 
look good, and a woman can 
make or break a man." 

According to her, this is why 



men in power positions feel their 
wives need to look good, because 
the public looks at them first. 

In closing, Hammond said, 
"Never give your heart away 
unless the person asks for it. 
Never say 'I love you' First." 

Dwayne Bryant then came and 
talked to the women. By the time 
he got upstairs, he was met by a 
bunch of angry women who had 
been expressing their feelings 
about the men in their lives. He 
was greeted with a "we all hate 
you" attitude. 

Bryant told the female audi- 
ence that men don't open up 
because if they did, women 
would think they were weak. 

He stressed that men communi- 
cate differently than a woman. 
Bryant decided to share with us 
some of the answers to the ques- 
tions he asked the men down- 
stairs. 

When asked what they think of 
women, they answered, "They're 
the devil. They always change 
their mind, and you can never 
make them happy." 

Bryant asked them why they 
hurt women, they answered, 
'Because I've been hurt by a 
woman, 1 hurt them before they 
get the chance to hurt me." 

One male student told Bryant 
he purposely goes out and hurts 
women. 

The men were also asked what 
they think women want. 

"Everything -- money and emo- 
tional support," they told Bryant. 

Bryant also asked the men if 
they would respect a woman who 
slept with them on the first date. 
Out of Fifteen men, only two said 
yes. 

Bryant said, " Women just 
don't understand what men 
want." And that hurt is like an 
STD, if you hurt one person that 
person will spread that hurt to 
everyone around him or her. 



He also said women need a 
"man filter" when we communi- 
cate with a man. Women need to 
talk to men in sound bites 
according to Bryant because 
women talk way too much and 
men get bored and stop listening. 

Bryant also gave the women 
some friendly advice. When a 
man says the woman is too good 
for him, she should leave him. 
Bryant told the women that the 
man is probably telling them the 
truth - she is too good for him. 
Men will give women what they 
settle for, and they will treat you 
the way you act. 

He also said if a man does not 
value his partner as a friend, he 
will not value her in the relation- 
ship. Men make time for what's 
important to them, so if he's not 
making time for his girlfriend, 
then she should leave him. 

Lastly, Bryant said people in 
one's life are a 100% reflection 
of who they are. 

Both speakers then got back 
together on stage and brought the 
audience back together. They 



both stressed the importance of 
the father figure in everyone's 
lives. 

They said women would view 
a man based on the way her 
father treated her. And a man will 
treat a woman the way their 
father treated their mother. 

Also, according to Hammond, a 
woman can determine if her 
boyfriend will be good to her 
based on the way he treats his 
mother and the other women in 
his life. 

Bryant said as a follow-up to 
the women, "If our mammas 
couldn't change us, what makes 
you think you can?" 

For the most part, I enjoyed 
what they had to say. However, I 
lost interest after the first hour 
and a half. Most of the rest of the 
audience did as well. 

People kept filtering out of 
Hart Chapel throughout the 
evening after the first hour had 
passed. 

But I guess if you are having 
relationship troubles, this confer- 
ence was the place to be.

Halloween season. . . 

*Tis the season to be haunted and scared! "Ghost 
Ship" is definitely worth your time and money to go 
and see. It is your typical haunted house movie, but 
takes place on an ocean liner. 

The movie introduces the salvage crew aboard the 
tugboat "Artie Warrior." They are said to be the best 
in the business. 

The crew is lead by Captain Sean Murphy (Gabriel 
Byrne), and Maureen Epps (Julianna Margulies) the 
co-owner and team leader. Greer (Isaiah 
Washington) is next in line as the first mate; and 
Dodge (Ron Eldard), Santos (Alex Dimitriades), and 
Munder (Karl Urban) are the crew technicians. 

The crew soon meets Jack Ferriman, a weather 
spotter for the Canadian Air Force.

half. Yes, a very gruesome 
scene, but the special effects 
were terrific. 

Fast forward to present day 
when a salvage crew is told 
about the ship by Ferriman 
(Desmond Harrington), a 
weather spotter for the Royal 
Canadian Air Force. He got 
some photos of it, and tips 
them off in return for a find- 
er's fee. 

On board the salvage tug are 
Murphy the skipper (Gabriel 
Byrne), Epps the co-owner 
(Julianna Margulies), and 
crew members Greer (Isaiah 
Washington), Dodge (Ron 
Eldard). Munder (Karl Urban) 
and Santos (Alex 

Dimitriades). 

This is where the attempt at 
"scariness" begins. The sal- 
vage crew boards the liner and 
like in any typical thriller, 
each crew member discovers 
their own haunting while 
trekking along all alone, and 
yes, in the dark. 

Most of the action is cen- 
tered on Margulies' character. 
Epps, and her reoccurring 
visions of the little girl from 
the beginning of the movie 
and where the girl leads her.

Music Review 



New R&B singer Amerie gives it all she has 



by Anne Golden 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Amerie's debut album, "All I 
Have" shows her as a rising 
talent in the R&B music world. 
The R&B world is a hard place 
to get into and stay in. But 
with this CD, Amerie shows 
her promise as a long-term 
artist. 

New artists come and go in 
R&B. Some artists come into 
this genre claiming to be the 
next Mary J. Blige or even be 
better, but Amerie never claims 
that. Her talent shows her as a 
rising star. 

Most R&B albums are full of 
slow songs, and this CD has a 
good mix of fast and slow 



tempo songs. Amerie shines on 
the fast songs, using smart ad- 
libs and a singing style that 
goes from sweet to powerful 
all in just one song. This dis- 
tinct style sets her apart from 
recent new artists like Ashanti 
and Nivea. 

Her voice could be described 
as somewhat angelic, never 
trying too hard to hit those 
notes and singing flawlessly. 
Most of her songs show 
Amerie's range as a vocal 
artist. She can hit some seem- 
ingly impossible high notes 
and then a second later go 
incredibly low. 

She uses no background 
singers; instead she sings her 
own background vocals and

shows the listener that she can 
back herself up with smart har- 
monies and intricate back- 
ground vocals. 

Her singing style is very 
feminine and shows that 
Amerie could care less about 
having a lot of street cred. She 
does not go overboard trying to 
stake a claim in a record 
label's posse of rappers and 
singers. She comes out on her 
own and shows more class in 
the R&B genre. 

Most of Amerie's songs 
never end cold, they almost all 
fade and make the listener 
want the song to keep going. 
The song lengths are a little 
short, which in turn leads to a 
short album. This leaves the 
listener wanting to see what 
she could do with a longer 
song because some of the cho- 
ruses can be a little repetitive 
as the song fades out but show 
her ad libbing ability. 

Her first radio release, this 
summer's hit, "Why Don't We 
Fall In Love," was a smart pick 
that gives a good preview of 
her singing style and her entire 
CD. The remix with Ludacris 



adding his rhymes to it, is not 
included on the CD however, 
but would be a good download. 
Her second release is 
"Talkin' To Me" which has 
intelligent lyrics that talk 
about how love can be so 
intense that sometimes words 
are not even needed. 

"All I Have" is her strongest 
ballad on the album. She uses 
her elegant voice singing pow- 
erful words of "All I have to 
give is one last kiss." It hit's 
the listener's emotions and her 
voice sings it beautifully with 
a lot of emotion. It almost 
sounds as though she is crying. 

The song "Got To Be There." 
shows a new trend that is com- 
ing up in the R&B and. hip-hop 
genre. The song uses a simple 
sample of a chorus from an 
older song; "From The 
Beginning" then makes it high 
pitched. (Think Style's "Good 
Times") 

Her instrument uses on the 
CD fit her voice and are sim- 
ple. They do not rely on too 
much bass to take away from 
her voice. She does have hard- 
er beats on the faster songs. 



such as "Hatin' On You" that 
will make for good club play 
and satisfy listeners who need 
harder beats. Pretty guitar 
notes, harp chords, and pianos 
accompany her on most of her 
ballads. 

Her lyrics on the CD show 
that Amerie would rather have 
a meaningful song than a 
smash hit. They touch on two 
things, falling in love and los- 
ing love. "Talkin' To Me," 
"Float," and "Why Don't We 
Fall In Love" are easily the 
most romantic. "All I Have" is 
definitely the best about losing 
love. 

Amerie shows a new side to 
R&B singers that should be 
more prominent today, and that 
is elegance. Using her strong 
voice and singing how she 
wants to sing, Amerie could 
one day be a new role model 
for upcoming artists who strive 
to remain elegant, have class, 
sing with emotion, and make 
R&B what it used to be, a 
music genre that did not rely 
on what posse they belong to 
or which rapper's song they 
sing the hook to.

by the National Safety Council, 
a t 

www.nsc.org/library/facts/halow 
een.htm . (Notice that, in this 
address, there is only one "L" in 
"Haloween"; evidently the 
National Safety Council removed 
the other one because it might 
poke out somebody's eye.) 

On this site, you parents will 
find 30 tips for parents to ensure 
that your children have a safe 
Halloween. For your conve- 
nience, Uncle Dave has boiled 
these tips down to five: 

• 1. Never allow your children 
outside on Halloween night. 

• 2. Or in the daytime, either. 

• 3. Your children should spend 
Halloween locked inside a win- 
dowless room, sedated and 
wrapped from head to toe in 
reflective tape. 

• 4. If, God forbid, some neigh- 
bor, somehow, manages to actu- 
ally give one of your children a 
treat, you must immediately 



point is that 
the carefree 



snatch it away and destroy it with 
a flamethrower. 

• 5. Never use a flamethrower 
while sleeping. 

Uncle Dave's 
Halloween is not 
holiday that it once was. These 
days nobody goes outside on 
Halloween night except 
teenagers, which Uncle Dave — 
believe it or not! -- used to be one 
of, although he now finds them 
terrifying. But does that mean 
that youngsters can no longer 
have fun on Halloween? Yes! 

No, wait -- Uncle Dave means: 
No! There are plenty of 
Halloween activities that are both 
fun AND safe. For example, there 
is: CARVING THE PUMPKIN. 

This is a Halloween tradition 
that began in the British Isles, 
where one magical night several 
centuries ago, a group of people 
decided to put a lit candle inside 
a hollowed-out pumpkin, to sym- 
bolize the fact that they had been 
hitting the sauce pretty hard. 
Today, pumpkin-carving is an 
activity that the whole family can 
enjoy, except for Dad, who gets 
stuck with the job of actually 



carving the pumpkin, which 
means he has to stick his hand 
inside and grasp the pumpkin 
slime, knowing that at any 
moment he might encounter the 
North American Gourd-Dwelling 
Scorpion, whose toxic sting 
claims more American lives each 
year than cellular phones and 
asteroids combined. 

The best way to avoid this dan- 
ger, advises the American 
Pumpkin Growers Council, is to 
make sure you buy a pumpkin 
"that costs a lot of money." 

Uh oh! We're out of space here. 
In conclusion, Uncle Dave just 
wants to wish each and every one 
of you the most fun Halloween 
ever! Remember what Happy, the 
National Safety Council Safety 
Clown, always says: 'if a single 
candy corn becomes lodged in 
your throat and cuts off your air 
supply, by the time the para- 
medics arrive, you will have the 
same brain functionality as a 
rutabaga." 

Speaking of which: You'll have 
to excuse Uncle Dave now, 
because he has a batch of pig 
brains on the stove. 



"Amahl and the Night Vistors" a magical performance 



by Jessica Geary 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

The Clarion Department of Music 
and Madrigal Singers presented 
"Amahl and the Night Visitors," by 
Gian Carlo Menotti, in the 
Marwick-Boyd Auditorium on 
Saturday, Oct. 26 at 8 p.m. Directed 
by Milutin Lazich and accompanied 
by the Clarion University Chamber 
Orchestra, the Madrigal Singers pro- 



duction was a success. 

Although the orchestra at time 
drowned out the singers, the overall 
production held to the professional- 
ism that would be expected from the 
Clarion Music Department. 

The program gave a short back- 
ground about the composer. Gian 
Carlo Menotti, and Italian compos- 
er, was asked to commission a 
Christmas Opera for NBC in 1951. 
It is said that the famous painting

s7 



730 Main Street 



"The Adoration of the Magi" 
inspired him. Menotti composed a 
score for the one-act opera in less 
then two months. It was performed 
every Christmas on NBC for 16 
years. 

The opera evolves around Amahl , 
a lame shepherd, whose mother 
does not believe anything he says 
because he was a habitual liar. 

He tries to tell her that there is a 
knock at the door and three kings are 
waiting there. The mother realizes 
that what Amahl says is the truth and 
invites the kings in. They are travel- 
ing to find a child king. 

The kings rest in their home. While 
they are sleeping the mother tries to 
steal some of the gold the kings have 
brought with them to offer to the 
child king they were seeking. 

She is caught and Amahl agrees to 
go with the kings. The child king 
happens to be the baby Jesus Christ. 



When Amahl pays homage to the 
child, he is cured of his lameness. 

The concert allowed for audience 
enjoyment. From audience orientat- 
ed entrances and exits to comical 
humor, the show was enjoyable for 
all ages. 

It presented a style of music that 
could be enjoyed and understood by 
everyone. The storyline of this opera 
is familiar to anyone who under- 
stands the history of the Christmas 
season. The message of the opera is 
that good deeds can help to produce 
miracles. 

The cast included Mother (played 
by Amy Corso), Amahl (Anthony 
Bilan), King Melchior, (Bradly 
Schake), King Kaspar (Robert 
Goodrich), King Balthazar (Mathew 
Baily) and Page (Ardan O'Brien). 
The Madrigal Singers and the 
Clarion University Chamber 
Orchestra accompanied the cast on 



stage. 

The Clarion University Chamber 
Orchestra included: Dolores Nycz 
and Freddy Varella on violin 1; 
Suzanne Evans and Virginis 
Gonzales on violin 2; Carlos 
Guadarama and Vima Cornejo on 
viola; Bernadete Evans and Emily 
Price on cello; Karen Stevenson on 
flute; Brent Register on oboe 1; 
Missy Allio on oboe 2; Ashley 
Ziegler on bassoon; Annie Bosler on 
horn; Ben Rearick on trumpet; 
Lawrence Wells on percussion; 
Brian Dunn on piano; and Bonnie 
Ferguson on harp. 

The Madrigal Singers will be per- 
forming this production in an acted 
out dinner on Saturday, Nov. 23 and 
Sunday, Nov. 24 at 6 p.m. It will be 
presented at the Wolfs Den. Tickets 
are $25 and can be purchased 
through the Clarion University 
Music Department.

Timothy Mooney presents a one-man show 



Story courtesy of 
University Relations 



Timothy Mooney presented 
'Moliere Than Thou" at 
Clarion University on Oct. 
28, at 8 p.m. in Hart Chapel. 
The play was sponsored by 
the Clarion University 
Department of Theatre and 
was free and open to the pub- 
lic. 

Mooney is an author and 
has adapted Moliere's play, 
Tartuffe, which Clarion 
University will present Nov. 
12-16. Professional actor Will 
Stutts will headline the cast 
playing the title role. 

Mooney's one-man show 
included his own adaptations 
of monologues from some of 
Moliere's plays. He is the for- 
mer artistic and executive 
director of Chicago's State 
Two Theatre Company and, 
with that group, has orga- 
nized and starred in several 
plays by Moliere. 

"The more I study Moliere 
the more I discover what a 
huge figure he was," Mooney 



said. "He's been under-recog- 
nized in the United States, 
but he was really the first to 
take on plays with immediate 
social/political meaning. He's 
the direct forerunner of Shaw, 
Ibsen, Miller and Mamet, 
people who have captured the 
moment of their social exis- 
tence and placed it upon the 
stage to be contemplated and 
examined. He also invented 
the drawing room comedy, or 
the comedy of manners, later 
taken up by Oscar Wilde . . . 
not at all different from the 
cartoons of Chuck Jones and 
the modern situation come- 
dy." 

Moliere, not as widely 
known as Shakespeare among 
the English-speaking public, 
is regarded as one of the 
world's finest comedy writ- 
ers. Mooney's 14 adaptations 
of Moliere's plays have creat- 
ed a new vision of the 17th 
Century French playwright 
and have been performed 
nationally and international- 

ly. 

"Moliere Than Thou" 



depicts Moliere without a cast 
when his fellow performers 
suffer from food poisoning. 
Rather than refunding the box 
office income, Moliere per- 
forms a "greatest hits" and 
leads the audience through a 
succession of favorite speech- 
es that highlight his career. 

Mooney performs routines 
from Tartuffe, Don Juan, The 
Doctor in Spite of Himself, 
The Precious Young Maidens, 
The Misanthrope, and The 
School for Wives, along with 
other selections. This routine 
highlights some of the play- 
wright's themes and enemies, 
doctors, lawyers and sancti- 
monious hypocrites from the 
court of King Louis XIV. 

Moliere continues to be 
studied, adapted and per- 
formed around the world. He 
established The Illustrious 
Theatre in the 17th Century 
and the company currently 
operates under the name Le 
Comedie Francais. He wrote 
plays mocking social manners 
and hypocrisy, and even made 
fun of his own personal and

International Food Day delights students and faculty 



by Beth LeVier-Pentz 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



The International Food Day was held for the first 
time ever on Thursday, Oct. 24 at 8 p.m. in the 
Gemmell Multi-Purpose Room. It was sponsored by 
the UAB Multicultural Committee and co-sponsored 
by the Minority Student Services and Alpha Mu 
Gamma. 

As soon as I entered the room 1 was greeted by the 
delicious smell of home cooked food. A buffet 
spanned one entire wall of the 
Gemmell Multi-Purpose Room. 

Guests were seated at tables that 
were neatly decorated with balloons 
and cray paper. Behind each table 
was a flag from countries all over 
the world made out of construction 
paper. 

There was also an art gallery fea- 
turing African American and 
Spanish American artwork dis- 
played around the room. 

Chairperson Deidre Lesesne 
opened the event with a small speech and concluded 
by saying, "Come taste America." And that's what 
everyone there did. 

Attendees of this event ate food from all over the 
world prepared by students and faculty members. 
Some items on the menu were: Jerk Chicken, Curry 
Shrimp, Beef and Tequila Stew, Low Mein, Red 
Beans & Rice and Spaghetti all made from scratch. 



We had a diverse 
group of people who 
worked really hard 
putting it together. §§ 

-Rogers Laugand 



These were just a few items on the menu. There 
were many more dishes to choose from that night, 
which were all delicious. 
A good turn out came that night. All the tables were 
full of hungry students who got the opportunity to 
try new dishes and fill their bellies. 

My personal favorite was the Low Mein. It was out 
of this world. It tasted even better than the Low- 
Mein that you get at a Chinese restaurant. 

Another dish that stood out to me was the Curry 
Shrimp. The shrimp was so spicy my eyes would 
water and I had to drink a whole glass of punch for 
each individual piece I ate. 

One gentleman at the table 
described it as "a glutton for punish- 
ment but worth the ride." 

A crowd favorite that night was the 
Jerk Chicken. It was so popular in 
fact, that I didn't get any. It was 
scooped up as soon as we were given 
permission to eat. 

I was touched by the fact the food 
was blessed by Deidre Lesesne. 
"Isn't this nice? Everybody setting 
down to break bread together," said one guest at the 
dinner. And it was nice to see people enjoying them- 
selves through fellowship with one another over a 
nice meal. 

Director of Minority Student Services Rogers 
Laugand said, "I'm pleased with the turn out. It's a 
nice little event. We had a diverse group of people 
who worked really hard putting it together. 



Especially Deidre, she did a good job and she 
worked hard." 

Chairperson Deidre Lesesne summed up the event 
by simply saying, "Food is unity." 

For anyone who attended that night there couldn't 
have been a better quote to "bring the whole experi- 
ence into 'prospective. If you have been getting tired 
of cafeteria food lately, you definitely missed out by 
not coming to this event.

Rugby team makes their fourth trip to the Sweet 16 



by Ashley Good 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

This past weekend, the Clarion Womens 
Rugby team participated in their fourth 
consecutive trip to the Midwest Territory 
Division II Sweet 16 Playoff competition 
m Dayton Ohio. The playoff consists of 
16 teams from the Midwest with represen- 
tatives from the Allegheny, Ohio, Indiana, 
Illinois, Chicago Area, Minnesota, Iowa 
and Michigan Rugby Unions. Clarion 
was seeded 6th entering the competition. 

Saturday's competition began with 
Dayton and WVU. Dayton advanced to 
the championship match on Sunday with a 
win over WVU 59-10. 

The second match of the day would put 
Clarion vs. Western Illinois University. 
From the opening kickoff, the Clarion 
women controlled the match. The scor- 
ing started early in the first half when 8- 
man Karen Pentz turned the corner on the 
WIU defense for her first try of the match. 
Minutes later, Karen Pentz broke past the 
WIU defense off an 8-man pick-up from 
the base of the scrum to go untouched into 



the try-zone. Steph Sherant made the con- 
version and Clarion took an early 12-0 
lead. 

Scrum-half Steph Sherant also got into 
the scoring action when she pulled the ball 
from the base of the ruck and dove in to the 
try-zone for the try. Flanker Brianne 
Goodwin ended the first half scoring with 
her first of two quick-picks for tries. 
Clarion lead at the half 22-0. 

WIU cam out strong in the second half as 
they drove the ball deep into Clarion terri- 
tory getting within five meters of the try- 
line until a penalty call allowed Clarion to 
kick the ball back into WIU territory. That 
was the only time WIU would get within 
striking distance again. 

The Clarion women played a strong sec- 
ond half with solid team defense and tack- 
ling combined with a well executed offen- 
sive attack. This combination allowed 
Clarion to score 22 more unanswered point 
with tries from Flanker Brianne Goodwin 
with her second of the day, 2nd Row 
Kimmie Welling, Wing Lisa Koerbel, and 
Flanker Heidi Lappi would score her first 
try of the season. Steph Sherant also 



added another conversion kick. 

The final score was 44-0. The win 
advanced Clarion to Sunday's champi- 
onship match against heavily favored 
Dayton for the right to advance to the 
Midwest Final Four Competion in 
Northern Iowa next weekend. 

Dayton was looking for its third consec- 
utive trip to the midwest final four compe- 
tition and was heavily favored to make 
Nationals this season. 

The match began with Clarion stealing 
the ball out of a Dayton ruck to charge into 
Dayton territory. Dayton then organized 
an attack and break through the Clarion 
line to open the scoring early in the first 
half. Dayton made the conversion kick to 
go up 7-0. 

Dayton was able to build a 17-0 lead 
before Hooker Julie Rengers dove across 
the try-line for the first Clarion try closing 
the gap to 17-5. However, Dayton scored 
again late in the first half to extend their 
lead to 22-5 at the midway point. 

Throughout much of the match Clarion 
played solid rugby with Brianne Goodwin 
and Kimmie Welling leading the Clarion 



forward with hard hitting defense and 
rucking. Forwards Julie Rengers and Ellen 
Palermo also contributed by running for- 
ward crashes off the rucks breaking tackles 
and driving the ball into the dayton back- 
field. On offense, Fly-Half Ashley Good 
organized some impressive back line plays 
to break the Clarion Centers into the 
Dayton backfield and Winger Jennie 
Stepien and Full-back Karen Sicignano 
also contributed with several try saving 
tackles on defense. 

Despite their efforts, Dayton's explosive 
offense was able to score 17 more points in 
the second half. Clarion's offense put 
together a series of impressive drives late 
in the first second half with tries by Ellen 
Palermo and Kimmie Welling to close the 
gap to a final score of 39-15. 

Clarion ends its fall 2002 season with an 
overall record of 5-4. The teams leading 
try scorer was Karen Pentz with five tries, 
Kimmie Welling and Ellen Palermo were 
tied for second with four tries. The over- 
all scoring leader was Senior Steph Sherant 
with three tries andsix conversion kicks 
for a total of 27 points.

Anahiem clinches the World 
Series title in Game 7 



Courtesy of 
KRT Campus 



Somewhere in heaven, an 
Angel in a cowboy hat was 
singing Sunday night. Perhaps 
Gene Autry, the late owner of the 
Anaheim Angels, even got 
together with Queen's Freddie 
Mercury and belted out that hit 
he never got to sing during his 
days on Earth. You know the one: 
"We Are the Champions." 

That's what the Anaheim 
Angels are for the first time 
since Autry made the team an 
expansion reality in 1961. After 
staging a remarkable rally in 
Game 6 on Saturday night, the 
Angels received brilliant work 
from a trio of rookie pitchers and 
a three-run double from Garret 
Anderson in Game 7 on Sunday 
night to claim the World Series 
with a 4-1 victory over the San 
Francisco Giants. 

Rookies John Lackey, Brendan 
Donnelly and the incomparable 
Francisco Rodriguez covered the 
first eight innings for Anaheim, 
holding the Giants to one run on 
five hits. 

The Giants, who 24 hours ear- 
lier had watched a 5-0 lead dis- 
appear, remained winless in 
three trips to the World Series 
since moving to San Francisco in 
1958. 

Troy Glaus, whose two-run 
double the night before had com- 
pleted the Angels' rally, was 
named the World Series MVP. 

Barry Bonds, despite putting 
together one of the greatest post- 
season and World Series perfor- 
mances in history, still does not 
have a ring. Bonds, 38, has been 
to the playoffs six times. Though 
he did not win it all, he silenced 
all the critics who said he never 
had come up big in the postsea- 
son. 

Bonds, who went 1 for 3 on 
Sunday night, batted .356 in 17 
postseason games and set a post- 
season record with 27 walks _ 13 
intentional and eight home 
runs. In the World Series, he bat- 
ted .471 with four home runs and 
six RBIs. He set a World Series 
record with 13 walks, seven 
intentional, and posted an 
incredible .700 on-base percent- 
age. He was on base 21 times in 
30 at-bats. 

Yes, the Giants definitely had 
the best player, but the Angels 



had the better team. Lackey, with 
five strong innings, became the 
first rookie to win Game 7 of the 
World Series since Pittsburgh's 
Babe Adams in 1909. 

Donnelly followed with two 
scoreless innings and Rodriguez, 
20, completed a postseason that 
was every bit as amazing as 
Bonds' by striking out the side in 
the eighth inning. 

Rodriguez, who made his 
major-league debut in mid- 
September, finished the postsea- 
son 5-1 with a 1.93 earned run 
average. He allowed just 10 hits 
and struck out 28 batters in 
182/3 innings. 

Veteran Troy Percival recorded 
the final three outs for his sev- 
enth save of the postseason. 
Darin Erstad clutched a Kenny 
Lofton flv ball in center field to 
end the World Series and trigger 
a wild red-and-white celebra- 
tion. 

While answering questions 
about Saturday night's devastat- 
ing defeat, Giants manager 
Dusty Baker was asked whether 
he at least had confidence in 
sending the veteran Livan 
Hernandez to the mound with a 
6-1 career playoff record. 

"We feel comfortable with 
Livan," Baker said without con- 
viction. "But we're going to go 
with everybody. I'm curious to 
see who they're going to go 
with." 

Angels manager Mike Scioscia 
took a slight gamble by sending 
a rookie to the mound on three 
days' rest for Game 7 of the 
World Series. 

Lackey made his manager look 
brilliant, covering five innings 
and allowing just one run on four 
hits and a walk before giving 
way to fellow rookie Donnelly, 
who had picked up the win in 
Game 6 by pitching a scoreless 
eighth inning. 

This time, Donnelly got him- 
self into a jam by issuing a two- 
out walk and allowing a double 
to J.T. Snow. But Donnelly, a 3 1 - 
year-old rookie who spent 10 
seasons in the minor leagues, left 
the runners stranded at second 
and third with a strikeout of 
pinch-hitter Tom Goodwin. 

Hernandez left his manager 

open to every second-guesser in 

San Francisco from now until the 

start of the next millennium. 

The veteran who had pitched 



so well in so many big games 
dating to his days in Cuba came 
up small. Hernandez retired just 
six batters and allowed four runs 
on four walks and four hits. Only 
24 of his 53 pitches were strikes. 
To make matters worse, left- 
hander Kirk Rueter came on 
after Chad Zerbe pitched out of 
Hernandez's third-inning jam 
and gave Baker four scoreless 
innings, allowing just two 
baserunners. 

The Giants scored first for the 
fifth time in the seven games and 
they did so even after Bonds 
opened the second inning by 
making a rare out on a liner to 
second base. 

Benito Santiago and Snow fol- 
lowed with consecutive singles 
and Reggie Sanders lifted a sac- 
rifice fly to left field, putting San 
Francisco in front, 1-0. That lead 
did not last through the bottom 
of the second. 

Hernandez retired the first two 
batters, then walked Scott 
Spiezio. Bengie Molina fol- 
lowed with an RBI double into 
left-center field, and the game 
was tied. 

Adam Kennedy made the final 
out of the second inning and 
became the final batter retired by 
Hernandez. 

Lackey pitched a perfect third 
for the Angels and David 
Eckstein started the bottom of 
the inning by dropping a single 
into left field. After Erstad sin- 
gled, Hernandez hit Tim Salmon 
in the right hand with a 2-2 pitch. 
The bases were loaded with 
nobody out. 

Up stepped Anderson, who had 
a major-league-leading 56 dou- 
bles during the regular season, 
but just eight singles in the 
World Series. 

With the count at 1-1, 
Hernandez delivered a fastball 
up and in. Anderson jumped on it 
and sent it down the right-field 
line for a three-run double. 
Thundersticks rocked the ball- 
park. 

Baker ordered an intentional 
walk to Glaus, then walked to 
the mound himself and stripped 
Hernandez of the baseball. 

By then, it was too late for the 
Giants. The damage was done, 
and unlike the Angels the night 
before, Baker's team was unable 
to recover from its early deficit.

After having a two-week 
break in competition, the 
Clarion University Cross 
Country team traveled to 
Gettysburgh for the 

Gettysburg Invitational this 
past weekend. The team was 
ready to get back out there 
and run. The expected out- 
come of the meet was right 
on target. Both teams per- 
formed well and got excellent 
training for this weekends 
PSAC Championship meet. 

The Womens team took 
home top honors at the invi- 
tational. After capturing a 
first place finish, Clarion's 
top seven runners also fin- 
ished in the top 25 and ran 
within 57 seconds of each 
other. 

"This is the best that we 
have ever done at this meet," 
saidn Head Coach Pat 
Mooney, "This is the first 
time we actually won the 
meet," he added. 

The Clarion Women have 
kept up their consistency in 
capturing the gold, the 
Gettysburg Invitational was 



their third consecutive meet 
in which they came home 
with a first place finish. 

In the J.V. meet, Clarion's 
8th runner, Sarah Rodgers 
won the meet and gave a 
solid performance. 

The mens team continues to 
improve and ran well but 
unfortunately it was not 
enough and they took home 
19th place. 

This weekend Clarion will 
travel to Edinboro to compete 
in the PSAC Championship 
match. The womens team 
will go into the meet seeded 
third and the men seeded 
13th. The Lady Eagles will 
see some stiff competition 
from Edinboro (2nd), IUP 
(1st), and Kutztown (4th). 

"We have seven good run- 
ners and our team has a lot of 
depth," said Mooney. 

The top runners on the 
women's side will be: Senior 
Captain, Katie Szafran, 
freshmen Anna Becht, sopho- 
more Melissa Terwillinger, 
All-Region Runner Jen 
Boerner,and freshmen Evelyn 
Abiola, Bridget Sardo and 
Katie Jarzab. Coach 

Mooney is permitted to run 



nine people and Sarah 
Rodgers and Gayle Spect will 
take the 8th and 9th spot 
respectiviely. 

"We were a Championship 
team at the beginning of the 
season, and we are now ready 
to see how good we actually 
are," he said. 

On the mens team, it was a 
building year with a lot of 
fresh young talent. Out of 
the the top eight runners, five 
members are first year run- 
ners. The team is led by 
Captain John Schneider and 
assisted by juniors AJ 
Maynerik, and Chris Noal. 
The biggest competition for 
the men will be Mansfield 
and California. 

The next step will be the 
National Qualifiers meet 
which will be Nov. 9 in 
Elkins, WV. The Lady Eagle 
team is ranked 3rd in the East 
under IUP and Edinboro. 
For both the men and women, 
the top three finishing teams 
will earn their right to com- 
pete at Nationals. The 
National Competition will be 
held on Nov. 23 in Ashland, 
Ohio.

You already know what lays in 
store for you as your alarm sirens 
a wake up call at the crack of 
dawn. Its time for morning prac- 
tice, but today is no ordinary day. 
Every muscle in your body aches, 
your throat feels like you trekked 
through the Sahara Desert with- 
out a canteen, and your nose liter- 
ally "ran off during the course of 
the night. You're an athlete, and 
you're sick. Not a good combina- 
tion. As you lay there in misery 
you wonder if it could possibly 
get any worse than this, and a 
resounding "oh yes" makes you 
want to just roll back over and 
shut your eyes. Unfortunately, 
you have only brushed upon the 
tip of your troubles, and your 
body hates you for the remainder 
of the week. 

With the flu season rearing its 
ugly symptoms, athletes rieed to 
begin taking preventative meth- 
ods to avoid illness. Yep kids, that 
means you need to stock up on 
vitamins and start gulping the 
O.J. These are just a few pointers, 
but many other alternative illness 
preventions are out there. 

On Tuesday night, I was 
forcedly dragged from my home 
to Campbell Hall to receive my 
first flu vaccination. Needless to 
say, I seriously lacked enthusiasm . 
since I usually hit the floor upon 
sight of needles. However, the 
entire five-second procedure felt 
relatively painless, and now I can 
clear the fear of coming down 
with flu from my worry list. If 
you're an athlete and have not 
received a flu vaccination, you 
might want to highly consider 
doing so. The flu can wipe out an 
athlete's energy level for nearly a 
month. 

Another germ-preventative 



method brought to my attention 
involves some hot water, and 
anti-bacterial soap. Since I hear 
about this everyday, I'm spread 
ing the news. Wash your hands! A 
lot! If you wash your hands just 
five times per day, you reduce 
your chances of getting sick by 
50 percent. I know that my fami 
ly practically pounds this simple 
preventative method into my 
head on a regular basis, but do I 
ever really follow their advice? 
NO. So, lets all make a hand- 
washing pact and see what hap- 
pens. 

I admit that I live with a walk- 
ing pharmacy, and due to this, I 
have cabinets filled to the brim 
with every natural vitamin and 
supplement known to man. In 
previous years, I snickered at the 
thought of ingesting tablet upon 
tablet daily. However, I discov- 
ered that true healing properties 
lay within those horse capsules 
and herbal teas. After recently 
dealing with my first cold of the 
season, Echinacea tea nursed my 
sinuses back to health. Echinacea 
is a natural supplement that sup- 
ports the body's natural defense 
system. If consumed regularly, it 
helps prevent illness and increas- 
es energy. Okay, I admit, I'm 
addicted. 

Other simple measures in ill- 
ness prevention includes dressing 
appropriately. In case anyone 
failed to notice, the weather in 
Clarion doesn't exactly fit a trop- 
ical description. Wearing warm 
clothes, gloves, hats and hoods 
fits under the health necessity list. 
Although I often run across 
Greenville Ave. outfitted in just 
shoes and a parka, I highly advise 
against it. Bundle up, and stay 
warm this season. 

Last but not least, try to avoid 
close contact with others who 
may suffer symptoms of illness. 
This may prove difficult, espe- 
cially in a team situation since it 
often becomes difficult to isolate 
yourself from your peers. If you 
suffer from symptoms, remove 
yourself from the team, even if 
that means you may miss prac- 
tice. This will allow your body 
time to heal and prevent others 
from catching the bug too. Just 
remember that if you're an ath- 
lete, your body is already broken 
down, so you are especially sus- 
ceptible to illness. Try your best 
to stay and keep others healthy 
this season.

Sports Information 



Shippensburg tightend Brian Sekel 
fought off two Clarion defenders and 
scored the game winning touchdown 
on an 18-yard pass from Tyler Novak 
with 6:47 left in the game giving the 
Red Raiders a 20-19 victory over 
Clarion at Memorial Stadium. 

The win moves Shippensburg to 5- 
3 overall and 3-1 in the PSAC- 
Western Division while Clarion slips 
to 5-3 overall and 1-2 in the PSAC- 
West. 

Novak delivered his game-win- 
ning touchdown pass on fourth and 
eight at the Clarion 18. The pass was 
tipped in the air by a Clarion defend- 
er, and Sekel leaped for the ball at 
the Clarion six, then dragged two 
defenders into the endzone for the 
touchdown. 

Clarion drove the ball to the 
Shippensburg 46 with three-minutes 
left, but lost possession on a fumble 
and the Raiders ran out the clock. 

Shippensburg opened the scoring 
on a seven-yard run by John Kuhn 
with 10:16 left in the first quarter. 



Craig Lough's kick made it 7-0. 

Clarion came right back and scored 
on a 74-yard touchdown pass from 
QB Adam Almashy to Ed Rivers. The 
Eagles missed the PAT and Ship was 
ahead 7-6 with 8:32 left in the first. 

Clarion took its first lead when 
Glenn Lovelace scored on a four- 
yard run. Chris Carlton's PAT gave 
the Eagles a 13-7 lead with 5:26 left 
in the first. 

Shippensburg jumped back in front 
14-13 when Jarrod Dech caught a 
five-yard touchdown pass from 
Novak at 6:48 of the second. 

Clarion took the lead back right 
before halftime as Almashy hooked 
up with Ben Culver on a crossing 
pattern that turned into an 88-yard 
touchdown play. Walker's run for 
two failed, but the Eagles held a 19- 
14 lead with 57-seconds left before 
intermission. Clarion maintained 
that lead until Sekel's heroic touch- 
down grab. 

Clarion outgained Shippensburg 
307-258 yards on the afternoon. The 
Golden Eagles, who were fifth in the 
nation in rushing yards coming into 
the game, were held to 60 yards on

Bond not determined in M ako case 



by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 



••••••••••••••••••••••at 



>••••••••• 



No decision was made in 
the bond hearing held Nov. 6 
for Karen D. Mako, a former 
Clarion University student, 
charged with criminal homo- 
cide in the death of her new- 
born son. 

Clarion County District 
Attorney Mark Aaron told the 
court he doesn't know if the 
case is going to be a capital 
case. 

"I don't know how I can set 
bail if there is a possiblity of 



the death penalty," said 
Clarion County Court of 
Common Pleas Judge James 
G. Arner. 

At some point the court 
will need some determination 
as to whether the district 
attorney will seek the death 
penalty, Arner said. 

"This matter is still under 
investigation," Aaron said. 

The prosecution is not 
obligated to confirm whether 
it is a capital case until after 
the preliminary hearing 
scheduled for 10 a.m. Nov. 
18. 



"The charges in this matter 
are very serious," Aaron said. 

Aaron requested the bail be 
set at least $250,000 if any 
bail was going to be set. 

Aaron also called for stipu- 
lations including: 
*Mako would not be allowed 
on Clarion University prop- 
erty, 

*She would not be allowed to 
leave the Commonwealth of 
Pa, and 

*She would be required to be 
with her mother, Anna Marie 
Mako, at their family home 
in Darlington, Pa. 




Governer-elect 




Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call 

Governer-elect Ed Rendell was in Clarion in September during his campaign 
trail. Rendell will be sworn in to office in January. 



During the hearing, Mako's 
attorney, Blair Hindman, 
tried to show that Mako was- 
n't a flight risk, or a threat to 
the community. 

Hindman also questioned 
the defendant's mother as to 
Mako's criminal history. 

"Does she have a prior 
criminal record?" Hindman 
asked Anna Marie Mako. 

The defendant's mother 
said her daughter didn't have 
a prior criminal record and 
also testified that Mako 
could be under 24-hour 
supervision if she was 
allowed to return to their 
Darlington home. 

The defendant's sister, 
Michelle Joy, 31, of 
Darlington, Pa also was 
called to the witness stand to 
say she would help ensure 
Mako had 24-hour assis- 
tance. 

Phone records were offered 
as proof that Mako has strong 
ties to her family. 

"I do not believe her to be 
a flight risk," Hindman told 
the court. 

Mako's mother also assured 
the court that the defendant 
would not miss any court 
proceedings. 

"I would ask the court to 
offer a reasonable bail," said 
Hindman. 

Mako's family has taken 
out two home equity loans, 
one equaling $34,000, to 
cover legal fees, court costs 
and possible bail. 

The defendant's mother 
also testified that the 
Darlington community has 
donated between $8,000 to 
$9,000 to the Mako's to show 
their support. 

"We have the most support- 
amazing amount of support- 
from the people," Anna

Marie Mako said. 

Arner questioned the defen- 
dant's mother about Mako's 
present mental state. 

Hindman objected to the 
question because Mako's pre- 
sent mental state could be a 
key part of her defense. 

Arner granted a petition to 
transport Mako Nov. 1 1 to a 
psychological evaluation in 
Pittsburgh. 

Mako will be picked up by 
the Clarion County Sheriff 's 
Department from the Clarion 
County Corrections Facility 
and taken to the evaluation.

Registration process frustrates students 



by Jessica Pomraning 
.... C lar ion s Call^ StafT^ VV riter 

Registration for the next semes- 
ter will continue for the next two 
weeks. 

According to Robin Peterson 
manager of administrative sys- 
tems of computing serives, 5,364 
students were registered for 
classes as of Nov. 5. 

3,947 of those students regis- 
tered over the web and 1,188 reg- 
istered over the phone. 

Peterson said these numbers are 
very subjunctive because stu- 
dents may have used the technol- 
ogy that was most convenient at 
the time of their registration 
appointment. 

Students however have mixed 
emotions on the registration pro- 
ject. 

"All the classes I needed were 
closed," said Nina Willochell a 
sophomore special education 
major. "That pushes me back 
even further in getting my 
degree." 



Junior Communication 
Sciences and Disorders major 
Lisa Mages was also frustrated 
with scheduling this semester. 

"I am junior, you would think 
that I could get the classes I need 
to," said Mages. 

Not all the feedback from stu- 
dents is negative however. 

"Scheduling for me was stress- 
ful," said Kimmie Powell, an ele- 
mentary education/special educa- 
tion major. "I did get enough 
classes but there aren't enough 
sections offered." 

One option a lot of majors are 
offering is waitlisting. 

Communication students can 
sign up for the waitlists using 
Web for Students. 

Toward the end of pre-registra- 
tion students on waitlists are con- 
tacted about whether or not they 
were written into a class. 

According to Nancy Harringer, 
communication department sec- 
retary, the majority of waitlisted 
students do not make it into the 



class of their choice. 

"On average, five students are 
admitted into each section of a 
closed class," said Harringer. 

Waitlists do not always satisfy 
students. 

"I was waitlisted for SCT 113 
and I haven't heard anything 
yet," said Julie Breene, an ele- 
mentary education major. 

"(The Communication 
Department) did call me but I 
didn't have enough credits to take 
the class," said Matthew Schmidt, 
a junior communication major. 

"There were a couple of classes 
that I couldn't get into but that's 
okay," said Lewis Fuller a fresh- 
man psychology major. "That's 
just the way it goes." 

Registering hasn't always been 
easy. Students used to have to go 
to each individual department and 
get written in. 

"There used to be lines out my 
office door and down the hall 
toward the ladies restroom," said 
Harringer.

Carlson library dresses in style 



by Lisa Covington 
Clarion Ca|l Staff Writer 

Have you been to the library 
lately? Whether you have been 
there to study, research or 
socialize, you may have noticed 
the several historical dresses 
throughout the floor of Rena M. 
Carslon Libray. 

Many of these fashions are 
replicas that date back to the 
1700's as well as others that 
reveal styles up to the 1970's. 

The majority of these dresses 
were made by Louisa Striver, an 
alumni of Clarion's Women's 
Studies Center, Psychology and 
History Department. 

The Women's Consortium, 
which will be sponsored by the 
Women's Studies Center Nov. 7- 
9, is what brought these 
'Fashions from the Past' to the 
library. 

There will be a workshop that 
will be held to explain the origin 
of each outfit. 

"I am an artist and my canvas 



is a dress form," said Striver. 

Striver explains that when she 
starts an outfit she usually has 
no idea how it will turn out. 

It can take at the very least two 
to three working days from start

to finish on a single dress, but 
there are exceptions Striver indi- 
cates. 

She currently has all the mate- 
rial for a dress but has yet to 
complete it since it will be sewn 
without the assistance of a 
sewing machine. 

" [This] traditional Civil War 
day dress is unlike anything else 
in my collection," said Striver. 



Striver thinks it will be a unique 
piece when it is completed in its 
entirety. 

With about sixty-two outfits 
that she made herself and thirty 
collected over the years, 
Striver's unique contribution to 
the Women's Consortium will be 
explained on Nov. 8 at the con- 
ference in Carlson Library. 

Other sessions will also take 
place throughout the conference. 
The conference sessions will be 
free to students who attended 
those on Friday, Nov. 8, but 
meals and the concert performed 
by Simple Gifts will be at a 
charge for students and others 
wishing to attend. 

Registration will be in Carlson 
Library's Lobby on Nov. 8. The 
sessions range from a variety of 
topics from women's health, 
feminist studies and women in 
science. Many other sessions 
will available for students to 
attend during the weekend 
including learning how to play 
spoons and several movies will

be played to conclude the 
Women's Consortium at Clarion 
University. 

"It is important women in the 
System of Higher Education net- 
work to get to know each other, 
do our jobs better, learn about 
concerns and issues on different 



campuses," said Sylvia Stalker 
of the Education Department. 
Stalker has been involved with 
the Consortium since 1985. 

At least eleven of the 14 
Pennsylvania State Schools will 
be represented at the confer- 
ence. 



Transitions program gets presented to Faculty Senate 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Transitions was the main 
focus of Monday's Facultly 
Senate meeting. 

Provost and Academic Vice 
President Joseph Grunenwald 
introduced the new program 
called Transitions. 

The program is focused not 
only on making students transi- 
tion to college easier, but to 
raise retention. 

"I don't think there is anything 
more important than what we are 
doing with retention and gradua- 
tion," said Clarion University 
President Dr. Diane Reinhard. 

According to a proposal Dr. 
Jeffrey Green director of cam- 
pus life handed out at the meet- 
ing, the program is a three part 



program for incoming freshmen. 

The first part is a day and a 
half summer orientation. 

Goals of orientation include 
freshmen getting their student 
ids and e-mail accounts in the 
summer instead of waiting until 
move in day. 

Also, students and families 
will leave orientation with the 
mission and core values of 
Clarion University. 

The second component of 
Transitions is Discovery. 

Discovey will reinforce and 
enhance information presented 
at Orientation. 

Discovery will occur two days 
before the start of classes. 

A barbeque and other social 
activities will be held for stu- 
dents and families on the first 
day while students will get to 



know each other through an ice 
cream social, roommate activi- 
ties and residence hall floor 
meetings. 

The third piece to the program 
is Exploration. 

This will be a pilot program 
involving 300 students. 

These students will learn about 
the importance of study habits, 
time and stress management, 
and wellness amongst numerous 
other issues. 

The Transition program will be 
implemented during the 2003-4

Student Senate 



Association for Computing Machinery heads to Ashland 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Student Senate voted (18-0-0) 
Monday to allocate $786 from its 
supplemental account to the 
Association for Computing 
Machinery (ACM). 

The money will fund for six 
members of the organization to 
attend the ACM East Central 
North America Regional 
Programming Contest in Ashland, 
Ohio on Nov. 8-9. 

The contest draws students from 
colleges and universities through- 
out Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, 
Michigan, eastern Ontario and 
Indiana. 

Participants in the contest will 
receive eight problems to be 
solved by the programming lan- 
guages C,C++, or Java, which is 
up to the discretion of the pro- 
grammer. 

Five hours are allotted to each 



team. 

The team that completes the 
most problems correctly in the 
shortest amount of time with the 
fewest errors wins. 

Two of the members participat- 
ing in the contest are upperclass- 
men while the other four are 
freshmen. 

"It will be a very good experi- 
ence for these four young peo- 
ple," said ACM Treasurer Greg 
Rice, a junior computer informa- 
tion systems major. 

Student Senate adviser Dr. 
Jeffrey Waple announced that 
Clarion University of 

Pennsylvania has been chosen to 
host the 2003 State System of 
Higher Education (SSHE) 
Resident Assistant Conference. 

Members of Residence Life 

attended the conference at West 

Chester University of 

Pennsylvania from Nov. 1- 3. 

In his report, Student Senate 



President Mike Phillips 
announced that senate will be 
going online. 

Students will soon be able to 
access minutes from past meet- 
ings, a calendar of events, poli- 
cies, biographies of senators and a 
virtual suggestion box. 

"I am really excited about it," 
said Phillips. " 

Senator Paul Garris, chair of the 
student facilities committee, 
announced that a survey went to 
every Clarion student through 
University e-mail about student 
owned buildings. 

Students are asked for their 
opinion on what more can be done 
in buildings like Gemmell 
Student Complex and the Student 
Recreation Center.

Peirce Science Center gets new computer lab 



by Emma Ward 
Clarion q,11 Staff Writer 

Peirce Science Center's new 
high-tech computer lab offi- 
cially opened on Tuesday. 

Students who are majoring 
in different branches of sci- 
ence are now utilizing the new 
computer lab along with stu- 
dents in other fields of study 
as well. 

k "For students, it's really 
nice. It's the newest facility 
on campus besides the library. 
We tried to add some things 
that weren't always available 
like zip drives, scanners, and 
CD-ROMS to make it a little 
nicer for students," said Dr. 
Steve Harris, chair of the 
Biology department. 

When you enter the lab you 
will notice a sign-in sheet 
located at the lab assistant's 
desk. Students should write 
down their name, major, what 
service they will be using the 
computer for, time-in and 
time-out. 

Professors in charge of the 
lab will use this information 
to monitor how well it is 
doing, and how effective it 
will be in the future. 

"It has worked out greatly 
because students are coming 
in from other majors to use 
the lab. So, we have hired a 



bunch of student workers 
from different majors," said 
Harris. 

"The workers are helpful, 
the printing is decent printing 
and it's free," said Jessica 
Boretzky a senior elementary 
education major. 



Everyone from dif- 
ferent departments of 
science are now able 
to interact with each 
other. 99 

-Steve Harris 



The lab has been under con- 
struction for quite some time, 
and with the exception of cur- 
tains, is now complete. 

"I just tried to get this thing 
up and running, but now I 
have turned over my responsi- 
bilities to Dr. David B.Lott (a 
professor in the biology 
department), "said Harris, 
"We're trying to incorporate 
more technology into all of 
our biology courses." 

The lab consists of black, 
flat-screened, light-weight 
Dell computers. 

Directors of the lab, includ- 
ing Dr. Harris, keep track of 
elements such as time-usage, 



services used by students and 
first and second week compar- 
isons in the increase of stu- 
dents who have made use of 
the lab. 

"We tally all of the kids 
that come in so that we know 
what majors students are com- 
ing from. We ask them what 
software they would like 
added or what changes they 
would like to see," said 
Harris. 

"I am glad that the universi- 
ty is providing new technolo- 
gy to its students," said Julie 
Logan a sophomore interna- 
tional business/political sci- 
ence. 

Harris emphasized that it's 
not restricted to science 
majors and is open to all stu- 
dents. 

"We tried to concentrate the 
software for science kids, but 
other students may use it as 
well," said Harris. 

"It is one of the nicer new 
additions to the department," 
said Ryan Relich a junior mol- 
ecualr biology major. 

Another one of his graphs 
showed that most students are 
using the computers in the 
new lab for general services 
such as the Internet, Microsoft 
Suite applications, than more 
sophisticated software. 

Harris expressed how nee- 



STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN 
SEXUAL HARASSMENT SURVEY THIS WEEK 

The Presidential Commission on Sexual Harassment is conducting a survey 
of 500 randomly - selected, Clarion University students to determine the nature and 
extent of sexual harassment at Clarion University. The anonymous results of the 
survey will help Clarion University deal more effectively with this potentially seri- 
ous problem. 

This study is of the utmost importance to the Commission and to this 
University. Students should be aware that some of the questions are highly personal 
and may be uncomfortable to answer. However, the information obtained through 
this survey will be kept strictly confidential and only reported in summary form. 
The survey will be shared with the campus community through distributed pam- 
phlets containing the summary of the study in the Spring of 2003. 

If you have any questions about the survey, please call Dr. Todd Lavin. 
Chair of the Presidential Commission on Sexual Harassment, at 393-2555 or 
Jeanninc Botta Guth, Complaint Specialist, at 393-2109. If you have any questions 
concerning sexual harassment, please contact the Social Equity Office at 393-2109 
or any member of the Commission. 

The full copy of Clarion University's Sexual Harassment Policy and 
Procedure is available in your 2002-2003 Calendar/Handbook and in booklet form 
from the Office o\' Social Equity.

-Kris Fine 



Senior Biology major 
Garrett Haponski is one of the 
lab's assistants. 

"I think it's great. 
Computers are fast and pretty 
easy to use just like any other 
computer. We haven't had any 
problems so far," said 
Haponski. 

"It's a good place to check 
your e-mail, i'ts not crowd- 
ed," said Sandra Werling a 
senior secondary 

education/social studies 

major. 

The lab is also more conve- 



nient for science students who 
once had to make trips back 
and forth to Peirce from the 
library or other labs just to 
use a computer. 

"In between classes if stu- 
dents need to do research or 
something else, they can just 
come here and whatever soft- 
ware they need they have 
access to," said Haponski. 

The new lab is located in 
room 236 of Peirce and is 
open from 9am - 4pm, and 6 - 
9pm. 

The evening hours are sub- 
ject to change unless the num- 
ber of students who use it dur- 
ing those hours increases. 

Students can fill out a 5x7 
comment sheet, which can be 
found against the blackboard 
in the rear of the lab. 

Some students have yet to 
visit the new lab. 

"I haven't seen it, but heard 
it's great," said Kris Fine a 
junior secondary education 
chemistry major. 

And yet there are some stu- 
dents that haven't heard about 
the lab opening. 

"There's a lab in Peirce 
Science Center?" asked Hank 
Crawford, a senior communi- 
cation major.

The first big 
change in my life 
was college. 99 

-Amanda Distler 



EDITORIAL, AMANDA DISTLER 



"Change" 



Change. Life is all about change, 
and I can't really say for sure 
whether or not I like change. It can 
be good, it can be bad, or it can just 
be different. But one thing is for 
sure, you can't be afraid of it. In 
my life, change has hung around 
quite a bit, and I've had my share 
of both good and bad. 

The first big change in 
my life was college. Leaving my 
high school friends was hard to do. 
We never did anything without 
consulting each other. 

We were like a "government" 
some would say. We all promised 
to keep in touch, and never to lose 
the friendship that we had. 

Well, after almost three years, we 
don't keep in touch like we said we 
would. We all lead different lives. 
It's really sad thinking that the peo- 



ple we shared these great friend- 
ships with are now mere acquain- 
tances. 

As for family, I feel like I'm kind 
of out of the loop. I don't hear 
about all of the happenings that go 
on back home until two weeks 
later. 

I talk to my parents every day and 
yet, they still neglect to tell me the 
little things that happen. 

It's funny. I never realized how 
important all the little things were 
until I wasn't there to experience 
them. 

The second change in my life is 
when my grandfather passed away. 

I never knew what it was like liv- 
ing without grandparents. Many of 
my friends don't have grandpar- 
ents because they have all gone 
before they ever got a chance to 



know them. 

I was blessed with living 20 great 
years with both sets of grandpar- 
ents still living. 

And when that day in April came, 
it was the saddest day. I didn't want 
things to change. I then realized 
how important it is to spend, and 
cherish every minute you can with 
your family. Change can arrive at 
anytime. 

The third change in my life 
brings me back to the topic of col- 
lege. I decided to look into the 
option of transferring. Due to the 
lack of sections in the 
Communication Department I am 
not able to get into the classes I 
want. 

If I transfer I should be able to 
graduate in less time than it will 
take me to graduate from Clarion. 
This new college will bring about 
new friends and new professors. 

I'm used to the environment at 
Clarion. However, changing 
schools is within my control. This 
is the kind of change I prefer- pre- 
dictable and controllable change. 

The changes in my life have 
made me a stronger and more 
mature person. 

Knowing how to deal with 
change is the key to surviving. 
Take change and learn from it. 
You'll be surprised at the kinds of 
things you never knew before.

cation major.

"...On your own, but not alone" 



Dear Editor, 

On October 21, 2002, a baby 
was found behind Becht Hall and 
the next day a young woman was 
charged with homicide. 

The question on many student's 
minds is "How could anyone do 
something so horrible?" 

However, before anyone makes 
a judgment on the woman, we 
must first ask ourselves if she 
would have kept the baby, who 
would have helped her out? 

We aren't saying that killing a 
child is the solution to a problem 



like this, but did anyone really 
stop to think about what she may 
have been going through? 

It is a difficult task to be a moth- 
er at the age of 19. We must take 
into consideration what she would 
have gone through every day to 
try to get an education and raise a 
child. 

Ask yourselves, would you have 
watched her child while she went 
to class? Or, would you have 
helped her out at 3 a.m. when her 
baby needed to be fed? 

How much would each of us 



tried to help this woman? 

To answer the question honestly 
we must think as though the event 
never occurred. Of course, we 
would all say that we would have 
helped if it would have changed 
the decision that the woman 
made, but no matter how hard we 
try we can't bring that baby back. 

The decision that Karen Mako 
made that day probably wasn't 
easy for her, just as it isn't easy for 
any parent to make crucial deci- 
sions for their children.

the dead? Nothing. 

What did the United Nations do 
to stop the violence and killing in 
the Balkans? Nothing. 

What is the United Nations 
doing about the religious warfare 
in Israel? Nothing. 

What is the United Nations 
doing about the slaughter of 
Christians by Muslims in the 
Sudan? Nothing. 

Sudan sits on the U.N. human 
rights commission- what does the 
United Nations do about the 
Muslims in Sudan making slaves 
of the Christian? Nothing. 

What is the United Nations 
doing about the killing of girl 
babies in China? Nothing. 

And when the United Nations 
does propose policy are those 
policies wise and just? 

Consider that the International 
Treaty on Women's Rights would 
make Mother's Day illegal. 
Consider that the Treaty on the 
Rights of the child would allow 
children to sue their parents over 
the choice of religion. 

Consider that the Kyoto 
Protocol, lauded and praised by 
Clinton and Gore, would have 
forced the U.S. to cut back our 
use of fossil fuels and hence our 
economic activity, to pre 1990 
levels while allowing nations 
such as China and India to use all 
the fossil fuels they need. 

These are not only stupid pro- 
posals, but if implemented, 
would completely destroy our 
economy and our way of life. I 
would argue that the United 
Nations has no validity, no value 
and serves no purpose. 

It has not stopped one war, not 
saved one child, not fed one hun- 
gry mouth. It is a sham. 



Your refusal to acknowledge 
the threat that Suddam Hussein 
and others of his ilk present a real 
and present danger echoes the 
idiocy of the late, little lamented, 
Neville Chamberlain who 
believed, wrongly, that he could 
negotiate with a tyrant. 

And after surrendering 
Czechoslovakia to Hitler, 
announced to the world that, "I 
believe there will be peace in our 
time." He was wrong. 

Just as the United Nations is 
wrong for not having dealt with 
Saddam and other penny ante 
dictators who abuse human 
rights. 

When the lion lays down with 
the lamb, only the lion gets up 
again. You snivel and whine 
about the Bush Doctrine defend- 
ing the right of our nation to con- 
duct preemptive strikes against 
nations that would do us harm. 

Would the world not have been 
better served if we had preemp- 
tively struck Hitler and Japan 
before they had the chance to 
build their incredible war 
machines? 

Would not the world have been 
better served with a few thousand 
dead in 1936 rather than millions 
by 1945? 

The blood of 11 million Jews, 
blacks, Poles and Gypsies is on 
the hands of those who would 
refuse to acknowledge the uni- 
versal right of self-defense. 

Gentle men may cry "Peace! 
Peace!" but there is no peace . . . 
except that which is won and pre- 
served by the sword.

Letters to the Editor 



"It is a terrible tragedy losing a 
life we did not know." 



Dear Editor, 

There has been great con- 
cern about how the recent 
event on Monday, Oct. 21, 
2002 has affected the mental 
and emotional welfare of the 
campus. 

There is concern for other 
students, who could have 
similar problems, about 
whether they know where to 
turn for help. 

Our campus should be more 
accommodating with 

resources for pregnancy and 
other options for those who 
are pregnant. Information 
should be easier to get. 

There are many things that 
could be done. For example, 
there could be a hotline for 
people to call for counseling, 
posters, pamphlets, informa- 
tion sheets, and lectures. 

These resources should not 
be developed because of the 
recent death, but because all 
students should have help. 

Karen Mako had no inten- 
tion of letting anyone know 
about her secret pregnancy or 
of what she did to her child. 

This should not be seen as 
an example for other young 



We also tend to 
question if there were 
any accomplices. 99 

-Lyn Newell 
-Lindsay Hudak 
-Tonya Edwards 



people who are in this sort of 
situation. 

As students, now that we 
are aware of the situation, we 
should look at Karen's mental 
well being before and after 
her actions. 

From one point of view, we 
see it as incomprehensible 
that someone can take anoth- 
er's life. But, we also need to 
question whether she knew 
what her options were and if 
she knew the difference 
between right and wrong. 

We also tend to question if 
there were any accomplices. 
It does not seem possible that 
one person could act by him- 
self or herself. 

As we look at the evidence 



that has been presented to us, 
we have to wonder how all 
the pieces fit together. 

Sometimes we may not fully 
understand what is going 
through a person's mind and 
in those times need to take an 
unbiased view and see the 
whole picture, and not just 
the bad. 

It is a terrible tragedy los- 
ing a life we did not know. 
Sometimes taking a look from 
another's point of view helps 
us to see what really hap- 
pened. There are times when 
we will not be able to see that 
view, but at least we gave it a 
try. 

Understanding another's 
thinking patterns helps us to 
understand our own thinking 
patterns. This should be a 
time of reflection for those of

now to think about what you 
would have done in a similar 
situation.

However, we believe that Karen 
may not have had enough infor- 
mation about alternative choices. 
There are many things that a 
young, pregnant woman can do if 
she doesn't want the baby. There 
are places to go and people to 
talk to. 

Many can be found right here in 
Clarion. One such place is the 
AAA Pregnancy Center, located 
at 721 Wood Street. 

They offer peer counseling, 
pregnancy screenings, informa- 
tion on adoption and abortion, as 
well as many other services. All of their services 
are free and confidential. 

Another place you can go is the Family Health 
Council, which is located beside the University 
Apartments on Main Street. 

The Family Health Council can do pregnancy 
screenings, after which they will do options coun- 
seling if the test is positive. 

If you do choose to have the baby, but decide to 
place it for adoption, they are a state licensed adop- 
tion agency, and they can have placement for the 
baby within 24 hours after his or her birth. 



There are many 

options and possibilities 

for someone who thinks 

they are in need 

of help. 99

They also have information on 
where to go if you want to termi- 
nate the pregnancy. 

There are also services on cam- 
pus that can help you decide what 
to do. The Counseling Center in 
Egbert Hall could help point you 
in the right direction to the kinds 
of services that you would need. 

You could even talk to a profes- 
sor or your adviser; they may be 
able to help you. 

There are many options and pos- 
sibilities for someone who thinks 
they are in need of help. 
We just want students to know that there isn't one 
choice for any difficult situation and you don't have 
to go through anything alone. There are many peo- 
ple who are willing and able to help. 

Just think of the Clarion University freshman 
motto: "On your own, but not alone."

STUDENT SENATE 



PRESIDENT'S FORUM 



Every year in November 
Clarion University celebrates 
Social Equity Week. This is a 
week that honors and pays 
respect to individuals and groups 
that create, promote and encour- 
age social equality on Clarion 
University's campus and in the 
surrounding community. 

Along with the speakers and 
other events, the university's 
Student Senate and the Social 
Equity office choose a theme for 
the week, this year's theme is 
"Citizenship and Rights." 

The week kicks off this 
Monday with the keynote speak- 
er, Alice Kessler-Harris. Harris 
is one of the nation's leading 
gender scholars. 

In 2002, she was the receipient 
of the Bancroft Prize, which is 
one of the most prestigious 
awards in the field of history. 
She is also the author of the 
book, "In Pursuit of Equity: 
Women, Men and the Quest for 
Economic Citizenship in 20th 
Century America." 

The other main event for this 
week is the Social Equity 
Dinner, which will be held at 6 
p.m. Nov. 13 in Chandler Dining 
Hall. This event is organized 
with the work of the Student 
Senate and the university's 
Social Equity Office. 

The three-hour banquet fea- 
tures entertainment and awards. 
The honors are given to stu- 
dents, faculty, administration, 
and other community members 
or groups that have demonstrat- 
ed excellence in support of 
social equality through their var- 
ious efforts. 

The dinner also features speak- 
ers from the campus, as well as 
one keynote speaker. This year's 
keynote speaker is Dr. T.J. Bryan 
who is the associate vice chan- 
cellor for academic and student 
affairs for the State System of 
Higher Education. 

I had the opportunity to meet 
Dr. Bryan at the last Board of 
Student Government Presidents 
Conference in Harrisburg. She 



has proven to be a very well 
rounded, experienced and charis- 
matic woman. 

We are delighted to have her at 
Clarion University to speak at 
this wonderful event. 

While this exciting event takes 
place during the week, there are 
other new events taking place on 
weekends. Every Saturday night 
from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. there will 
be a C.A.B.S. Dance (Clarion's 
Alternative to the Bar Scene) in 
the Gemmell Student Complex. 

Each dance will be sponsored 
by a different student organiza- 
tion and will have a different 
theme varying from pajama par- 
ties, to CU Pride Nights, to a 
holiday party at the end of this 
semester. 

Prizes are typically raffled off 
at the end of each dance. The last 
two weekends we have had high- 
ly successful dance; the music is 
great, the food is hot, all we need 
is more of you students to come 
and check it out. This weekend is 
the pajama party so don't bother 
getting all dressed up to go out, 
just throw on your pajamas and 
join in the fun. 

On another note, the Student 
Facilities Committee of Student 
Senate is conducting an online 
survey via Clarion University 
WebMail. 

Student Senate is calling on 
you, the student body, to get 
involved and give us your input 
in this very important survey. 
The survey is centered on the 
student owned buildings on cam- 
pus, Gemmell Student Complex 
and the Student Recreation 
Center. 

What would you like to see 
happen in these buildings? What 
can we do to make our student 
center a place for you to just 
hang out? The only way we will 
know is if you tell us. 

If for some reason you do not 
receive the Email survey, don't 
hesitate to Email your ideas or 
suggestions to our office at sen- 
ate@clarion.edu or call 393- 
2318.

Clarion takes time to "Celebrate the Nations" 



by Amanda Cackowski 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

The Clarion International 
Association presented its pro- 
gram of performances and 
foods from around the world 
entitled "Celebrate the 
Nations" on Friday, Nov. 1. 
The program, set to begin at 7 
p.m., started about ten minutes 
late due to the constant flow of 
people arriving to pack the 
Multi-Purpose Room in the 
Gemmell Complex with well 
over 300 people. 

Those in attendance were 
composed of University stu- 
dents, professors and many 
from Clarion's community. 

One student, Freshman Kara 
Smochek, attended because "it 
seemed like it would be inter- 
esting to see different cultures 
in action." 

Master and Mistress of 
Ceremonies Muhammad Khan 
of Bangladesh and Emma 
Jones of Sierra Leone wel- 
comed audience members to 
this event. 

Then each international stu- 
dent, dressed in native garb, 
introduced themselves in a 



parade of nations. The interna- 
tional student populace here at 
Clarion University consists of 
160 international students rep- 
resenting 42 countries. 

Before each performance, the 
MC's gave a brief background 
of the performance and region 
represented on stage. 

Then the evening of culture 
began with the region of South 
America. A song and guitar 
solo represented this area. 

This presentation was fol- 
lowed by the region of South 
Asia with a Nepali dance and 
an Indian solo called "Mein 
Koi Aisa Geet Gaoon." 

Next in the program, interna- 
tional students from the region 
of East Asia demonstrated the 
Chinese Marital form of Tai 
Chi that amazed the audience 
with its movements of agility 
and precision. Roars of 
applause from those seated and 
those standing in the back of 
the room followed each rou- 
tine. 

Then a break in the perfor- 
mance was taken in order for 
one student to give his account 
of a Study Abroad experience. 
Brian Aiken told the audience 



of his struggles and triumphs 
when traveling to another 
country for the first time, 
studying in Spain, and then 
experiencing various parts of 
Europe. 

Following Aiken's presenta- 
tion, students from Africa pro- 
vided the audience with a live- 
ly song and dance presenta- 
tion. A rousing poetry reading 
given by Adedapo Macauley 
also represented Africa. 

The highlight of the evening 
came next when a group of 
female students from various 
parts of Africa joined together 
to perform a ceremonial dance. 
This segment of the evening 
charged up the audience and 
was completely stunning. 

The final performance of the 
evening involved many stu- 
dents from different areas of 
the world. Each student dis- 
played an outfit from his or her 
country complete with com- 
mentary given from the MC's. 

Following the event, those 
attending were encouraged to 
sample the international foods 
prepared by the international 
students. A wide array of side 
dishes and desserts were laid 




Aaron Bell /Clarion Call 

Students, faculty and the community were invited to sample 
international foods prepared by the international students at 
"Celebrate the Nation " 



out to provide audience mem- 
bers with a taste of the nations. 
The presence of internation- 
al cuisine, as well as enlight- 
ening performances provided 
those present with an evening 
of culture otherwise not expe- 
rienced in Clarion. 

International graduate stu- 



dent Kat Vongrujipas summed 
up the "Celebrate the Nation" 
event perfectly, "It gave inter- 
national students the opportu- 
nity to gather and bring an 
activity to the students. We 
showed students about our 
countries and they [also] bene- 
fited from the event." 



National Broadcasting Society gets a reality check 



by Matthew T. May 
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor 



A constant complaint from graduating college stu- 
dents is that college alone does not teach about the 
reality of the working world they are entering. 

The most common myth among college students is 
that a career is awaiting them with open arms as 
soon as they graduate. Unfortunately, nothing could 
be further from the truth. For most graduates, get- 
ting a job in their field of study is extremely diffi- 
cult. 

Students trying to earn their degrees in 
Communication, one of largest majors at Clarion 
University, should know they will face a harsh world 
that often goes unmentioned by professors and text- 



books. 

The National Broadcasting Society and Alpha 
Epsilon Rho of Clarion University traveled to 
Millersville University for the NBS AERho Freedom 
States Regional Convention on Nov. 1 - 3 to hear the 
experiences and advice from those working in the 
field of Communication. 

John Miller, Senior Vice President of Original 
Programming and Series Development at MTV, was 
the Keynote Speaker at the convention. A graduate 
of Millersville University in Broadcasting and 
Communication, Miller has produced trademark 
MTV shows like "The Real World," "Road Rules" 
and "Undressed." 

However, Miller was not simply handed a job at 
MTV. He worked many jobs and at one time was so 



poor he slept on a friend's floor for months before he 
built up a reputation in the industry and climbed the 
ranks at MTV. Through all his hardships and suc- 
cesses, Miller had one piece of advice to 
Communication majors. 

"Know how to tell a story," Miller said. 

He emphasized that it did not matter what job a 
person is doing in the Communication field, whether 
it is being a reporter or a public relations consultant 
or even cameraperson, knowing how to tell a story is 
the most important ingredient for a successful 
career. 

Later in the convention, students were able to see 
different speakers from several professions.

Carolyn and Carissa Movie Review 



"I Spy" Eddie Murphy's career slipping 



by Carolyn Kelley and Carissa Rosati 
Clarion Call Staff Writers 

Carissa wishes she had the remote for 
fast-forwarding option .... 

"I Spy" is one of those movies that when you 
watch it you wish you had control of a remote con- 
trol so you could fast-forward. It is a remake of the 
1965 television series that starred Bill Cosby and 
Robert Calp. 

The remake barely had a plot at all, and the screen- 
play was poorly written. The writers did not even 
make the script witty at all, only very annoying with 
hard to watch characteristics. 

It was very slow-paced and not funny enough. 
Maybe three times throughout the entire movie I 



laughed at a line or two. I felt like I was in history 
class and the teacher was making us watch a film on 
nonsense for an hour and thirty-five minutes. 

The film starts out as Alexander Scott (Owen 
Wilson) is walking up a snow-covered mountain. He 
is on a mission to save a captured American pilot. 
This whole scene is just to show that he is the under- 
dog spy. 

Alexander always seems to screw up something in 
everything he does, but he gets the job done. 

Next, we are introduced to Kelly Robinson (Eddie 
Murphy) the 57 knockout boxing champion. He has 
never lost. 

While celebrating his 57th knockout, the President 
of the United States calls him on his cell phone to 
help him out with a secret mission. 

After we find out how annoyingly full of himself 



Kelly Robinson is, the scene switches back to the 
spy laboratory where Alex is being told what a won- 
derful job Carlos (Gary Cole) did on his stakeout 
with co-spy Rachel (Famke Janssen). She is also 
Alex's secret crush. 

So, to cut a long, drug out, pointless, not funny 
story short. ..Alexander's new partner is Kelly the 
civilian boxer and they are constantly butting heads 
over stupid things. , 

Rachel is also there helping them out on the mis- 
sion and Alex is constantly talking about how this 
mission is like a stakeout constantly because he 
heard that on her last stakeout her and Carlos had 
some "fun." 

It got old after the first two times he said it. 

There is a very expected twist at the end and as 
usual everything turns okay for the good guys. 



Carolyn says, "Put the remote down" . 



Ok, so "I Spy" isn't the great- 
est comedy/action movie, but it 
does have its moments, right? 
The latest television show to 
turn movie is "I Spy", now star- 
ring Owen Wilson 
("Zoolander") and Eddie 
Murphy. 

This latest version has a more 
comedic approach than adven- 
ture with Wilson playing "spe- 
cial" agent Alex Scott. He isn't 
the best spy the United States 
has (his ringing cell phone 
causes an avalanche on a secret 
mission), but he gets the job 
done. 



On his latest mission, Scott is 
teamed up with civilian Kelly 
Robinson, a World Class 
Champion boxer, played by 
Murphy. 

Murphy's character is cocky, 
loud and obnoxious and is quick 
to try to run the show. This 
seems to be the pattern of most 
Eddie Murphy characters. Kelly 
Robinson is almost a mirror 
image to Murphy's character 
"Buddy Love" in the "Nutty 
Professor." If only we could fast 
forward over all of Kelly 
Robinson's parts... 

Wilson and Murphy are sent 



to bring back the Switchblade, a 
very sophisticated stealth fight- 
er jet that can turn invisible by a 
click of a remote. They track 
Arnold Gundars, one of the 
world's most successful illegal 
arms dealer, all the way to 
Budapest to prevent him from 
selling the plane and causing 
mass destruction to the United 
States. 

Yes, the plot is similar to 
almost all spy spoof movies -the 
unlikely pair that are stuck 
together to fight the bad, but in 
this case the plot wasn't all that 
important. Who cares if the plot 



is predictable? 

Wilson and Murphy are an 
odd match that were enjoyable 
to watch. Wilson continues to 
emerge as a comedic actor, and 
he pulls it off without a flaw. 
Obviously I am an Owen 
Wilson fan, and if you are too 
you will like this movie. 

I may have a strange sense of 
humor but I found myself 
laughing out loud numerous 
times throughout this movie, 
and I do have to admit a few of 
those times were scenes with 
Eddie Murphy. 

Since "I Spy" was also billed 



as an action/adventure, there 
are good action scenes. I realize 
there are only so many times 
one can do a car chase scene, 
but this movie gave that a new 
kick. If you are out looking for 
a strictly action movie this isn't 
for you. 

The film was directed by 
Betty Thomas ("28 Days"). This 
former comedic actress turned 
director has had her hands on 
such projects as "The Brady 
Bunch Movie," "Only You" and 
the cable sitcom "Dream On." 

I say put the remote down and 
enjoy the movie.

"If you can't write, you can't 
communicate," said Ann 
Hillenbrand. Public Relations 
Specialist for Radford 
University, to students attend- 
ing her session. 

Hillenbrand began her career 
as a reporter for small, local 
stations before being hired at 
Radford University to use her 
writing, editing, scripting and 



voicing skills along with her 
media expertise to advocate 
the university and higher edu- 
cation. 

"You have to be aggressive," 
Hillenbrand advised students 
without much or any experi- 
ence outside of what they have 
done in college. "Say 'I can 
do this for you, and I'll do it 
for it free.'"

"It is important to get good 
grades," said Maitee Cueva, 
Development Associate from 
MTV. "But it is even more 
important to get out there and 
do stuff." 

Internships are extremely 
important in getting students 
experience in their field or at 
least to get inside an organiza- 
tion that specializes in what 
the student is interested in. 

"I basically answered phones 
for executive people," Cueva 
said of her internship at MTV 
she had in 1997. 

Nevertheless, she was able to 
build from the internship to 
earn a higher position at MTV 



and now has interns of her 
own. 

"The problem with my 
interns is that they want to 
bounce around their ideas for 
new shows, but they don't 
want to take phone messages 
or photocopy," Cueva 
explained. 

She said that she won't give 
interns any larger projects if 
they can't even perform simple 
tasks like answering phones. 

Cueva advised the students 
doing internships always to go 
above and beyond what the 
employer expects to get 
noticed.

them 'A,' give them 'A,' 'B'

and 'C,' she said to those 
going to do internships. "If for 
some reason you can't give 
them 'A,' you tell them why 
and give you still give them 
'B' and 'C.'" 

The convention also had 
speakers from a variety of 
other careers including sales 
and marketing executives, 
graphic managers, producers, 
directors and a varietv of pub- 
lic relations positions 

"Some of the sessions were 
good, but it didn't fulfill my 
expectations," said NBS mem- 
ber and Clarion University stu- 
dent Kristin Kneib. 

Most of the speakers at the 
convention were Millersville 
alumni who had only graduat- 
ed a few years ago. 

Many students attending the 
convention said thev would 
rather have had speakers who 
were better established in the 
field because those speakers 
would have a better perspec- 
tive. 

Nonetheless, the students at 
the convention did get to hear 
from people in the job market 
thev will soon be entering.

Music Review 



Aguilera can't be "Stripped" of her talent 



by Anne Golden 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



With the release of "Stripped," many peo- 
ple are going to say that Christina Aguilera 
has changed. When in reality, Christina is 
merely being who she was all along. Her 
sophomore album is a verification of whom 
she really is with no pretending -- stripped 
down to the real Christina. 

The album's first release "Dirrty" is not 
an example of what the entire album is. 
Don't expect a hard core R&B/Dance CD. 
The album is an eclectic mix of all types of 
different music styles, which Christina 
takes on and perfectly accomplishes. 

The album opens with the "Stripped 
Intro." In it she states, "Sorry you can't 
define me, sorry I break the mold." It 
sounds a little like Alicia Key's intro on 
"Songs In A Minor" but tells the listener 
that this album is who she really is and who 
she wanted to be from the start. 

"Can't Hold Us Down" is a girl-powered 
song about the double standards that 
women face. Christina gets help from LiP 
Kim who surprisingly doesn't try hard 
enough on her rap, which brings the song 
down a notch from Christina's powerful 
chorus. 

"Walk Away" sounds like an early Fiona 



Apple song, but this song lets Christina be 
bluesy and emotional. The lyrics are heart 
felt and she sings about her struggle of 
walking away from someone who hurt her. 

The rock song "Fighter" might surprise 
some listeners with its roaring electric gui- 
tar over Christina's strong voice. This is 
just an example of Christina's ability to 
mold her voice into whatever type of song 
she wants. The song is an empowering take 
on a break up. 

The only track that the listener could do 
without is the "Primer Amor Interlude." 
This is a sorry attempt at Christina's 
Spanish speaking abilities. That leads into 
"Infatuation," a catchy upbeat song about 
falling in love with a "full blood Boricua." 
This makes the listener wonder if this song 
was about her ex, now choreographer, and 
former dancer, Jorge, who she thanks for 
inspiring her to write this album. 

The "Loves Embrace Interlude" sounds 
like one of the many Mariah Carey inter- 
ludes but then leads into the beautiful song, 
"Loving Me 4 Me." This song is incredibly 
sexy and soulful. This song also has the 
CD's greatest lyrics, a poem that says how 
he loves her for her, down to the last freck- 
le. 

"Impossible," composed by Alicia Keys 
is a strong R&B track that Christina nails. 



Alicia can compose a good song, and the 
piano, strings, and simple drums that 
accompany Christina highlight Alicia's 
writing talent. 

"Underappreciated" sounds somewhat 
like Ms. Key's "A Woman's Worth," but 
this song has smartly penned lyrics instead 
about the lack of romance after being in a 
relationship for a while. 

"Beautiful" is a strong track and would 
be a good release. This empowering song is 
about being "beautiful in every single way" 
and not letting anyone bring you down. 

"Make Over" is a great song that lets 
Christina experiment with her own voice. 
She has been slated as having a flawless 
voice, and on this song she shocks the lis- 
tener with shouting the chorus and using 
voice distortion. The fast drums and sixties 
style guitar make this a different song for 
her to sing. 

"Cruz" is one of the best tracks on the 
album with a strong chorus; this would also 
be a good radio release. 

"Soar" and "The Voice Within" are the 
most Mariah-like, with the inspiring words 
and the choir. They are sweet ballads about 
believing in yourself. 

"Get Mine Get Yours" is one of the 
stronger R&B/Dance songs, but uses adult 
lyrics that will scare parents. Her voice 



floats over the lyrics "Hang a please don't 
disturb sign... gotta hit that spot just right 
work me like a 9 to 5." 

"Dirrty" follows with Redman contribut- 
ing a rap. After the song it includes a bad 
interlude that simply states that it is a 
Rockwilder production that is slow and 
breaks up the pace of the CD. It should 
have been left out and just have let "Dirrty" 
go into the fast paced "Stripped Pt. 2" 
which includes the controversial lyrics, 
"Sorry, I'm not a virgin; sorry I'm not a 
slut." 

"I'm OK" might shock listeners with its 
emotional intensity. She sings of her 
father's spousal abuse and almost cries on 
the track singing. "Bruises fade father but 
the pain remains the same... and I'm OK." 

"Keep On Singin' My Song" ends the 
album telling the listeners that this album is 
truly who she is. "Every time I tried to be 
what they wanted from me... I ended up in 
misery." Christina has done it. She is who 
she is and this album proves it. 

Don't judge this album from "Dirrty," the 
video for "Dirrty," or the album cover. 
Christina knows who she is and she wants 
the listener to know who she is as well. 

Christina has strong sense of self, a 
strong image, and now a strong album to 
back her up.

by Matthew T. May 
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor 

A single, steady voice echoed 
through Moore Hall on 
Halloween night. While students 
dressed as pirates, monsters and 
princesses passed the building on 
their way to parties, they looked 
into the window and saw a 
woman. 

At 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 31, Moore 
Hall was haunted by a hypnotic 
sound. 

The voice of a small woman 
bounced off the walls of the large 
inner rooms and rained down 
upon a modest audience of about 
20 people. 



From their chairs, the audience 
gazed up at the small woman 
before them waiting for and crav- 
ing just a morsel of perfect prose. 

The woman before them, Gail 
Galloway Adams, could easily 
have delivered a feast. 

Adams, winner of the Flannery 
O' Connor Award for her short 
story collection entitled The 
Purchase of Order, was brought to 
Clarion University as part of the 
Spoken Art Reading Series. 

As she stood in front of the 
room with her story on the podi- 
um, Adams looked out over the 
audience through her thick glass- 
es and smiled. 

"This will take approximately

16 minutes," Adams said before 
she began reading a yet-to-be- 
published work of hers entitled 
"Dreams of Goa." She explained 
that it often helps the audience to 
know the length of the story 
before she reads. 

Adams is an associate professor 
at West Virginia University in the 
English Department. She special- 
izes in creative writing. 

As a professor, Adams not only 
gives writing assignments to her 
students but also to herself. Every 
assignment and writing exercise 
she assigns, she does herself. 

"Dreams of Goa" is the result 
of an exercise that requires the 
writer to write about a real place 
that they have dreamed or imag- 
ined but have never been. From 
the exercise, Adams was able to 
develop the story "Dreams of 
Goa" proving that writing exer- 
cises have a greater purpose than 
simply being busy work for stu- 
dents. 

Interestingly before the reading, 
Adams told a group of students in 
a workshop session with her, 
"You are so lucky if you can 



dream. I've maybe dreamed four 
times in my life." 

Nevertheless, it didn't keep her 
from writing a story based on 
dreams. 

Reading the story from the 
podium in front of her, Adams 
placed one hand on her hip and 
made circular motions with her 
other hand. She seemed to be 
composing the rhythm of the 
story with her own hand as the 
words exited her mouth. 

Another story that she read was 
partly based on the life of Adams' 
sister who's an animal control 
officer in Texas. 

The idea for the story came after 
her sister asked, "So when are 
you going to write a story about 
me?" 

When Adam's asked what her 
sister wanted the story to be 
about, her sister said that she 
wanted it to be about horses or 
dogs but not men. The resulting 
story Adams wrote is entitled 
"Sidekicks." 

However, Adams only read the 
first part of the story because she 
didn't have time to read the entire 



piece. 

Although she writes stories 
about interesting characters with 
even more interesting lives, 
Adams said 'that she has a mun- 
dane life. 

"I use very little of my life," she 
said about writing from personal 
experience. "It's very boring." 

The students, faculty and com- 
munity members that came to 
hear Gail Galloway Adams read 
found her to be quite entertaining 
and informative regardless of the 
way she felt about her life. 

When Adams finished with her 
reading, the crowd was still hun- 
gry for more. However, she 
politely refused an encore. 

Signing books and speaking 
with aspiring writers after the 
reading, Adams expressed how 
much she loved being around 
fresh writers like her students and 
those that came to her reading. 
They were the interesting ones 
according to her. 

The next speaker in the Spoken 
Art Reading Series is Herb 
Luthin on Nov. 13 at 8 p.m. in 
Moore Hall.

today's Birthday (flov. ?) ljou could do quite well financially 
this year, but you'll need more than just good luck, you'll need to have a 
strategy, a goal and a set of rules, or you could easily go right through your 
money, Discipline is your key to success. 

To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 
the most challenging. 

Aries if/larch 21-April 19) - Today isa7- playing hard 
together can take the place of a meaningful conversation. Let old difficulties 
be forgotten. ljou may never have to talk about them at all. 

Taurus (April 20-JAay 20) - Today is a? -The bargains are 
out there, and now is a good time to find them, decent cutbacks have 
wproved the quality of used stuff and brought down the prices. Never pay 
retail! 

Qemini (JAay 21-^une 21) - Today isa6- you're determined to 
succeed, but that doesn't mean you can't accept help. Delegate the part 
that's getting to be way too hard. 

Cancer flune 22- c July 22) - Today isa6- Money may be 
tight, but there are things you can do to turn that around. Taking on a fob 
nobody else wants is the most reliable way. 

Ceo fluly 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 6- Odds are good you'll 
have to give up one thing to get another. Qive up an old fear and get some- 
thing better. 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today isa5- When there's a dis- 
ruption, it's always nice to have somebody around who can set priorities 
and tell the others what to do next, ijou're not usually the leader, but this 
time you might be. 

Libra (Sept 23-Oct. 22) - Today is an 8 - ljou may be doing 
more listening than talking, but that's OK. The perfect place for you now is 
in the presence of a teacher you respect and admire. 

Scorpio (Oct. 23-flov. 21) - Today isa6- This is not a good 
time to take a risk. There are enough changes going on already. Don't bor- 
row much, either. The cost would quickly become too high. 

Sagittarius (A/ov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 1- ijou're like 
Diogenes, the mythical figure who kept looking for an honest man. ljou 
might find one, but you'll probably discover a few of the other kind, too. *just 
keep telling the truth, and you'll attract the same. 

Capricorn (Dec. 22-*]an. 19) - Today is a?- Since you're so 
practical and hardworking, people call on you when they're in a jam. 9t's 
happened before, and the odds are good it'll soon happen again. 

Aquarius flan. 20-Jeb. 18) - Today is a 7- ljou like things to 
be pleasant, but that may not be possible now. A friend andlor loved one 
has to make a decision, $e supportive, but let him or her figure this one out. 

Pisces Qeb. 19-M^ch 20) - Today isal- Ijou're not going to 
be able to stay in the same old rut much longer. Keep your objectives in 
mind so that whichever way you go, you'll be headed in the right direction.

Soccer team makes major strides in their second season 



by Erin Witner 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

The Lady Eagles soccer team recently 
wrapped up their second officii season in 
the NCAA Division II. They finished the 
season 3-11-1 overall and scored 17 goals. 
Looking at the 2001 season, that is three 
times as many games as they won last year 
and 12 more goals scored than last season. 

Although the scores of the games showed 
Clarion losing, the scores did show the 
improvement they made. They stayed com- 
petitive with each and every team they have 
played against only losing by one or two 
goals versus last year losing by as much as 
seven goals. 

There isn't much comparison to last years 
team to this years team according to Head 
Coach Nina Alonzo. The main difference 
between the inagural year and this year was 
the experience and the new players that 
came in. The returning players learned so 
much from last year and it enabled the Lady 
Eagles to push harder and become a better 
team. 

"There was a cohesiveness about the play- 
ers that wasn't there before. The returners 
brought back the leadership that was miss- 



ing last year and the new players brought a 
breath of fresh air that led our team to do 
wonderful things," said Coach Alonzo. 

Leadership was a very important part of 
the successfulness of the team. This year 
Clarion was led by co-captains Christina 
Gattens and Marianna Reino, along with 
many upperclassmen who took on leader- 
ship roles on and off of the field. The 
teams only senior, Steph DeFlorentis, took 
her role as a senior seriously and helped to 
create more cohesiveness within the team. 

Clarion had some standout performances 
from players this year who really stepped 
up to the challange. Goalkeeper C.J. 
Gattens played outstanding this season. 
Gattens came back strong and had a very 
successful season. Junior forward Marianna 
Reino stepped up and had a very productive 
year on the scoring side. Junior transfer 
Becky Stewart and freshmen defender 
Jayme Violi were also beneficial additions 
to the team. Stewart controlled much of the 
midfield while Violi took care of the 
defense. 

"There were a few standouts this year but 
it was truely a team effort and that is why 
we had so much improvement," said 
Alonzo. 



Leaders for the season were Marianna 
Reino with five goals, Becky Stewart with 
three goals, and Jayme Violi and Jessi 
Zahner with two goals each. Sophomore 
Alisha Tuner and Violi both had four 
assists. Goalkeeper Gattens had 200 saves 
on the season. 

The Lady Eagle soccer team will take a 
short break but be back in action very soon 
with lifting and conditioning. Their goal in 
the off-season is to work very hard to get 
stronger and faster. Coach Alonzo will also 
focus on working individually on players 
weakness and feels that in turn it will create 
better athletes and soccer players to provide 
better team play next fall. 

Coach Alonzo and her team believe they 
can expect great things from the soccer pro- 
gram in the future. They have already 
begun to see the gains of having the pro- 
gram by the increased level of interest in 
Clarion because of the soccer program. 
With only losing one senior to graduation 
and with all their starters returning, they 
look to be a true threat in 2003. 

"I know that each girl will do whatever it 
takes to reach our goals for next season just 
as we did this season," said Alonzo.

Wrestling Preview 



Golden Eagle wrestlers are ready to roll out the mats 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

The Golden Eagle Wrestling squad is 
ready to hit the mats and open their 2002- 
03 season. Under sixth year Head Coach 
Ken Nellis, they come off a 6-11 overall 
2001-02 season record with a 3rd place 
finish in the PSAC behind Edinboro and 
Lock Haven, 5th at the EWL tournament, 
and ranked 41st at the NCAA 
Championship. 

Looking to make a big impact during 
the season are the five returning NCAA 
qualifiers on the team; senior Rad 
Matinez (133), sophomore Frankie 
Edgar (141), junior Jeremy Reitz (157), 
senior Eric Mausser (197), and senior 
John Testa (HWT). 

"I look for these five to lead the team, 
they all have the ability to place in the top 
eight at NCAA's, said Coach Nellis. 

Along with having five strong returning 
leaders, the Golden Eagles also have a 
strong freshmen class to work with. A 
few of them will start this season howev- 
er; most will red shirt and serve as back- 
ups to the upperclassmen. According to 
Coach Nellis, this group of wrestlers is a 
talented group and will be the foundation 
of the team in years to come. 

Along with a new freshmen class, 



Clarion has new coaching additions to its 
staff. Jason Robison replaces Tony Puler 
as Assistant Coach for the Golden Eagles 
and Doug Cieleski comes in as the 
Graduate Assistant Coach. 

"Coach Robison is doing a great job of 
training the wrestlers in the weight room 
and he sets high expectations for the stu- 
dent-athletes. Coach Cieleski has been a 
big help in the weight room and wrestling 
room as well and it is nice to have some- 
one with great wrestling skills to be 
working with the athletes," said Nellis. 

The squad has been working hard on 
and off the mat in preparation to come 
out strong in the first meet. 

"I am extremely happy with the attitude 
and work ethic of the team members. 
This is a good group to work with each 
and every day," said Nellis. 

The Golden Eagles are looking forward 
to their season and with the leadership of 
captains Martinez, Mausser, and Testa. 
The team has set their goals on winning 
the EWL tournament and the league dual- 
meet season and looking toward NCAA, 
breaking into the top 15. 

Looking at the weight classes, here is a 
breakdown of those wrestlers battling for 
time this season: 

125- Peter Derstine, Matt Doerfler, and 
Louis Russo

The wrestling team has been working hard in weekly practices in preparation 
for the start of their season. 



133- Rad Martinez 

141- Frank Edgar 

149- Proves to be the weight class with 

the most depth with Jim Perry, Ben

165- Aaron Wright 

174- Dan Edmonds, and Dave Gardner 

184- Charlie Cilinski and Eric Spence 



197- Eric Mausser

NCAA Divison I powerhouse and it looks 
that it will continue that way this year. 
They open their season on Nov. 16 at the 
West Virginia Open and their home open- 
er will be the annual Blue/Gold Meet on 
Nov. 20 in Tippin Gym at 7:30 p.m.

November 7, 2002 




Melissa has been a consistent runner for the Lady Eagles this season. She has 

been a top five finisher for the team in every meet. Melissa recently 

placed 6th at the PSAC Championships with a time of 23:57,20 and was 

the first Lady Eagle to cross the finish line. 



Womens Cross Country team places 
3rd at PSAC's; men finish 14th 



by Erin Witner 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

The Mens and Womens 
Cross Country teams both 
ran extremely well this past 
weekend in Edinboro as they 
competed in the 

Pennsylvania Scholastic 
Athletic Conference 

Championships. Going into 
the conference champi- 
onship, the men were seeded 
12th and the women 3rd. 

The mens team was look- 
ing to go out and beat both 
Mansfield and West Chester. 
With the fresh young talent 
the mens team only had two 
runners with experience run- 
ning at the PSAC conference 
level and six of them were 
first time runners. 

After jumping ahead of 
Mansfield the mens team 
came out in between their 
toughest competition with a 
12th place finish. Head 
Coach Pat Mooney was very 
pleased with the team's per- 
formance. Leading the way 
on the mens side was junior 
A.J. Maynerik. Mayernik 
was Clarion's team top per- 
former and crossed the finish 



line first for CU. 

The womens team faired 
very well taking home a 3rd 
place finish which was the 
highest place Clarion's 
women cross country team 
has ever had at a PSAC 
Championship meet. 

"We ran well and put pres- 
sure on both teams and gave 
them a good run. The compe- 
tition was very intense and 
the race was basically a tri 
meet between the teams," 
said Coach Mooney. 

The PSAC organization 
honors the top 15 athletes 
and names them to the All- 
Conference Team. Clarion's 
top four runners were named 
All-Conference. This is 
also a record breaker for the 
team, which is the most run- 
ners Clarion has had named 
All-Conference. 

Sophomore Melissa 
Terwillinger lead for the 
Lady Eagles and was 
Clarion's first runner across 
the line, followed by juniors 
Evelyn Abiola and Jen 
Boerner, and freshmen 
Bridget Sardo. The ladies 
fifth runner, freshmen Katie 
Jarzab had a very good race 



and completed the scoring 
for the Lady Eagles. 

This weekend the Cross 
Country team will travel to 
the National Eastern 
Qualifiers Meet. There are 
eight regions in the U.S. and 
to qualify for Nationals you 
must finish in the top three 
in your region. 

Clarion's women's team is 
ranked 3rd in the Eastern 
Region under Ediboro and 
IUP. 

"We know what type of 
competition both teams have 
to offer. This is going to be 
very close and we are plan- 
ning on going out to get 
them," said Mooney. 

For the mens team Coach 
Mooney will take the top 
five PSAC finishers which 
include: juniors A.J. 
Maynerik and Chris Noal, 
and freshmen Matt Andreassi 
Aaron Neely, and Matt 
Reinhold. 

This is the first time 
Clarion's Cross Country 
team has to compete at the 
National Level. Coach says 
that is an achievement in 
itself and the team isvery 
prepared and ready to go. 



Bethany Bankovich

Any team participant knows 
that a plethora of personalities 
combine to form a winning 
squad. Everyone, of course, 
displays determination, dedi- 
cation, and compassion for the 
sport, but when it comes to 
competition, individuals show 
different edges of the spec- 
trum. 

Each team possesses its fair 
share of competitive extrem- 
ists as well as the middle- 
grounders. These individuals 
may display completely dif- 
ferent characteristics when 
they're not in game mode, so 
why this personality change? 

The stereotypical term, 
"game face" usually refers to 
disposition of an athlete dur- 
ing a competition. An image 
of gritted teeth combined with 
a serious overtone and a pure 
look of aggression cloud my 
perception of this reference, 
but is this really an accurate 
description? Secondly, why do 
some athletes enter this type 
of game zone while others 
succeed just as well or better 
wearing a smile? 

The look of determination 
comes in many forms other 
than the stereotypical "game 
face." Some of the best ath- 
letes that I know give their 



best performances when total 
ly relaxed and out of the zone 
People respond differently 
to stressful situations, and for 
many, concentrating on a 
game or race only psyches 
them out. Just like in Happy 
Gilmore, some athletes need 
to go to a happy place in order 
to perform their personal best. 
This can prove difficult for 
others who rule in the serious 
realm to understand, especial- 
ly if these individuals are 
coaches. Often times, coach 
es who believe that serious 
ness is the only way to focus 
on a competition, may find 
that this happy place seems 
more difficult than trying to 
understand Swahili. 

Although they and other 
members on the team may 
require isolated concentration, 
others need relaxation and 
socialization in order to per- 
form well. I, myself, probably 
stress my coaches out. My 
"game face" includes flitter 
ing about the deck, socializing 
with every member of every 
team, laughing, dancing and 
singing right up until I begin a 
race. Then, the cycle contin 
ues until the next event. 

Athletes need to experi 
ment with their own personal 
psychology when going into 
competitions to discover what 
benefits them most. If you 
typically enter the zone in a 
corner, playing Eye of the 
Tiger, and it hasn't exactly 
worked out for you, try chat 
ting with a teammate before 
an event. Many studies show 
that talking greatly reduces 
stress, and the less bad stress 
pumping through your system 
means better performance. 

Likewise, if socializing only 
stresses you out more, try 
retreating into your own bub 
ble and concentrate on the 
task at hand. Learning which 
method works best for you is 
the key to performing at your 
fullest potential. So, get out

council members believed it 
posed a hazard. 

"If it's a hazard is should 
be taken down, as well as 
not cost us money to take it 
down. We didn't ask for it 
to be put up in the first 
place," said Rose 

Chorazewicz, freshman ele- 
mentary education/Spanish 
major. 

"There was a definite con- 
cern there. People standing 
on that stairway can't be 
seen until they step onto the 
road," said Clarion Borough 
Zoning Officer Bob Ragon. 
The vote to have the 
retaining wall removed was 
unanimous except for one 
council member, Brad 
Leonard, who was absent. 
Borough council members 
Ron Wilshire and Rich 
Herman abstained from vot- 
ing, citing a possible con- 
flict of interest because 
they are employed by the 
university. 

Most students are satis- 
fied with council's decision 
and are eager to see the 
retaining wall removed. 

"I'm sick of having to 
walk around it," said Alexis 
Woodruff, sophomore unde- 
cided major. 

Ragon plans to issue a 
citation tomorrow, Nov. 15, 
because a building permit 
for the project wasn't 
obtained before the project 
began. 

According to Ragon, 
Clarion Borough's legal 
council, H. Ray "Terry" 
Pope sent a letter to DGS 
notifying them of the situa- 
tion on Nov. 6. Ragon said 
DGS should receive the let- 
ter by Nov. 8.

Nursing class perfect on NCLEX-RN 



Courtesy of 
University Relations 



All 17 students in the 2002 
Associate of Science in 
Nursing (A.S.N) Program 
offered at Venango Campus of 
Clarion University of 
Pennsylvania scored 100 per- 
cent on the National Council 
Licensure Examination for 
Registered Nurses (NCLEX- 
RN). 

The A.S.N, program offers 
both a comprehensive and 
intensive form of nursing edu- 
cation in a balanced curricu- 
lum of nursing and liberal 
arts. It is designed to prepare 
technical nurses to give client- 
centered care within struc- 
tured settings and to work 
effectively with other mem- 
bers of the health team. 

Graduates of the program 
are eligible to take the 
NCLEX-RN. The two-year 
A.S.N, program also provides 
the graduate with a foundation 
for further student at the bac- 
caclaureate level. 

"It is rare to have the whole 
class get a perfect score," said 
Dr. Mary Kavoosi, chair of the 
nursing department. "The 
nursing faculty has made a 



great effort to elevate the 
passing rate through curricu- 
lum revisions, individual 
attention, emphasis on critical 
thinking, implementation of 
stringent academic standards, 
and through taking a NCLEX 
review course and answering 
NCLEX-format questions. We 
are vary proud of our hard- 
working, committed stu- 
dents." 

The pass rate for the 
National Council Licensure 
Exam was 83.56 in 
Pennsylvania and 85.96 
nationally in the July 2001- 
June 2002 period. 

Presently, all 17 graduates 
are employed as registered 
nurses. Most are working 
within the Oil City area while 
some working in Erie, 
Pittsburgh and West Virginia. 
Approximately a third of those 
graduates are continuing their 
education for a bachelor of 
science in nursing degree.

Big brothers and sisters makes a home in Clarion 



by Lisa Covington 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Do you have an extra hour dur- 
ing your busy schedule of classes, 
papers, studying and social life? 
If you would like to spend it vol- 
unteering, the Community 
Service Learning Office may be 
able to help you. 

Of the many locations where 
Clarion University students vol- 
unteer, a new agency has been 
added to the long list of agencies 
where students can volunteer. 

Big Brothers and Big Sisters of 
America has just established an 
office in the Clarion area and the 
community service office on 
campus added this to their wide 
variety of opportunities. 

This service has been around for 
almost one hundred years and is 
growing with each town, city, and 
suburb that needs role models for 
children ages five to fifteen. 

The Community Service 



Learning Office in 275 Gemmell 
has added another opportunity for 
students to volunteer their time, 
effort, and abilities. With the Big 
Brothers and Big Sisters of 
America being added to the list, 
this office is looking for students, 
faculty, and staff who would like 
to be a big brother or big sister or 
if they know of a child that may 
be in need of a role model or just 
someone to relate to. 

"Students will be able to sign up 
to become a big brother or big 
sister through the college pro- 
gram we are providing," said 
Diana Brush of the Community 
Service Office on campus. 

She further explains that this 
program is available for those 
interested to sign up by applying 
in this office. 

The only difference with this 
agency is that there is a back- 
ground check that will take place 
in order to see a volunteer's histo- 
ry and if they are eligible to work 



with children. 

Requirements of the volunteers 
include they must be at least 18 
years of age and be able to make 
a commitment of at least one- 
year. 



If you have two 
hours a week you can 
help, or even one hour 
would make a differ- 
ence. 99 

-Kimberly Powell 



Brush explains that the estab- 
lishment of Big Brothers and Big 
Sisters in this area is a result from 
the Clarion community's desire to 
have this program for their young 
children in the area. 

"A volunteer would go about 
this as they would their normal 
life like going to football games, 



cooking, or spending an after- 
noon in the library," said Brush. 

The activities of having a big 
brother or big sister may include 
these as well as going to other 
sporting events, going to the 
movies and things as simple as 
watching TV will be able to give 
a child someone to look up to on 
a regular basis. 

Brush also indicates that volun- 
teers will learn their little brother 
or sister's interest as they spend 
more time with them. The train- 
ing will be available soon to be a 
Big Sister or Big Brother to a 
child, they will be announced pri- 
marily through the website and 
those who are already registered 
with the Community Service 
Learning Office will be notified 
through e-mail. 

"If you have two hours a week 
you can help, or even one hour 
would make a difference, just 
find something that you are inter- 
ested so that you can have fun," 



said Kimberly Powell a Junior 
who is an Elementary and Special 
Education Major who volunteers 
primarily for the Special 
Olympics. 

To become registered with this 
office and receive ongoing infor- 
mation about volunteer opportu- 
nities can be done through the 
web site 

http://www.clarion.edu/student/st 
udentaffairs/csl/ or by just walk- 
ing into their new office location 
at 275 Gemmell. 

Upcoming events include com- 
munity service in New York City 
and Philadelphia during Winter 
break. 

Ongoing opportunities with 
more than one hundred agencies 
who need volunteers are availabe 
including those involving chil- 
dren, such as Clarion Elementary 
PTO, The Caring Place, Fun After 
School Tutoring and many other 
organizations who need volun- 
teers. 



Safety bug lets students experience drunk driving 



by Denise Carter 
Cterion Call Staff Writer 

The Safety Bug will be in the 
Clarion Mall parking lot on 
Saturday, Nov. 16 from 10 a.m. 
- 5 p.m. 

The program was developed 
by Pennsylvania's D.U.I 
Association and Students 
Against Disastrous Decisions 
and is sponsored by Bacchus 
Peer to Peer, the Office of 
Campus Life, Clarion mall and 
Campbell Hall. 

The bug is a Volkswagen bee- 
tle that has a computer simulat- 
ed drunk driving program. 

Since alcohol affects hand 
coordination, students can 
expect to experience losing 
control of the steering wheel. 

A common effect of alcohol is 
that it impairs a person's judg- 
ment, making a person think 



he/she is able to drive a car 
responsibly but in reality, it is 
not a good decision to drive 
drunk. 

"Eventually, all cones set up 
are knocked down," said 
Dustin Tudor, Resident 
Assistant in Campbell Hall and 
President of Bacchus Peer to 
Peer. 

Although the program is open 
to the public, only those who 
have a valid drivers license 
will be able to drive the car. 

Tudor said that students can 
help to set up cones and move 
tables - there are a lot of com- 
munity service opportunities. 

At the State of Pennsylvania's 
Higher Education Liquor 
enforcement Control 

Conference, it was said that 
1400 college students die each 
year from alcohol related inci- 
dents. 



"We are trying to reduce the 
high risk of death due to the 
consumption of alcohol by 
teaching how individuals can 
protect themselves. Most cam- 
puses have issues with alcohol 
but we can educate students on 
their rights and responsibili- 
ties, and consequence," said 
Dr. Jeffrey Waple, the director 
of campus life. 

Even though the program is 
geared towards those who 
drive, it is important to recog- 
nize that a person who does not 
drive can easily decide to ride 
with someone under the influ- 
ence when they themselves 
have been drinking. 

According to a brochure by 
the Beer Drinkers of America, 
titled, "Party Smart," students 
are advised on what to do if 
someone they know drinks too 
much and is unable to drive. 



First, it is important to take 
the key away from that person 
even if they get angry. Second, 
you should designate a non- 
drinking driver and if that is 
not possible, do it yourself. 

In a survey done by the PA 
Liquor Control Board, young 
drivers between the ages of 15 
and 20 make up 14% of drivers 
involved in fatal car crashes 
when only 6.7% of the total 
drivers on the road are from 
this age group. Almost 30% of 
these drivers had been drink- 
ing. 

Darlene Hartle, the interim 
director said, "not everyone 
drinks to create a problem. The 
problem is that a small group 
of people drink too much." 

Clarion University students 
are at a higher risk for drinking 
more than the nationwide aver- 
age, 5.2 drinks per week 



because the school is in a rural 
area, a public institution and it 
is in Northeast United States. 

"Participating in the Safety 
Bug is a good experience, and 
if you want to know, it is an eye 
opener. It is a little bit differ- 
ent than other programs we 
have had on campus because 
this is actually a car that you 
can drive," said Tudor. 

Anyone interested in helping 
out with Safety Bug can con- 
tact Darlene Hartle at 393- 
2418.

Winter brings weight gain to C.U.P. students 



by Emma Ward 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

The winter season is now 
approaching and that means cold- 
er weather and darker nights and 
unfortunately weight gain. 

Winter is the highest ranked 
season of the year in which peo- 
ple are most likely to gain 
weight. 

Dr. Rebecca R. Leas, Clarion 
University's Health Education 
Specialist, has been at Clarion for 
more than 24 years but has served 
as a Certified Health Educator 
Specialist for more than 30 years. 
"Usually, people gain weight 
during the winter season, espe- 
cially in the northeast because 
we're in eastern savings time and 
that means more darkness," said 
Leas. "More darkness means 
people are apt to stay home, but 
really there is nothing wrong with 
going for a walk or a jog in the 
snow." 

"Freshman 15," is a term most 
students are familiar with, but not 
many understand where the 
meaning derived from. 

"I gained the freshman 40," said 
Paul Garris, a junior finance 
major. 

"We see weight gain as far as 
the kids coming from home to 
college. A lot of kids play sports 
during high school, and when 
they come to college they don't," 
said Leas. "They start eating 



more junk food because their par- 
ents are not around to monitor 
them." 

For those who aren't aware. 
Clarion University has facilities 
on campus, that students may uti- 
lize to avoid weight gain. 

"First they need to understand 
that it's going to happen to every- 
body. So, they have to commit 
themselves self-consciously to 
activities like going to the Rec 
Center, or taking a walk with 
friends instead of sitting around 
at computers, watching televi- 
sion, and playing video games," 
Leas said. 



Hey I'm a fat girl 
and I'm proud. 99 
-Lisa Bergamotto 



Students like Sophomore 
Elementary Education major 
Laquaya Garrett will be less 
affected by winter weight gain. 

"It will not affect me because I 
have a high metabolism, but I 
also stay physically fit," said 
Garret. "I feel sorry for people 
who are lazy because you can 
avoid gaining weight by keeping 
the Thighmaster going, keeping 
your Buns of Steel tape, or you

can take your first visit to the Rec 
Center if you want." 

Others like freshman Lisa 
Bergamotto, a secondary-educa- 
tion major have mixed opinions 
about winter weight gain. 

"I think it sucks because none 
of my Christmas clothes will fit." 
Bergamotto has a strategy for 
avoiding weight gain this season. 
"I was going to try and not go 
home because I don't eat here at 
Chandler and when I go home I 
eat so much," said Bergamotto. 
"Then they told me I couldn't 
stay. But hey I'm a fat girl and 
I'm proud!" 

What some students may not 
realize are the little things that 
can cause weight gain. 

"Not enough sleep slows down 
your metabolism. The worst thing 
is to stay up late and sleep in the 
next day," said Leas. 

For those who consume alco- 
holic beverages, Dr. Leas has a 
special message. 

"Alcohol is loaded with fat," 
said Leas. "If you do like to 
drink, eat popcorn instead of 
potato chips. Popcorn's a little 
better because it has fiber in it." 

Universities like Slippery Rock 
and Indiana have incorporated 
charts into their lunch menus that 
tell students exactly how much 
fat they will consume by eating 
that product. 

"I think that anywhere we sell 
food on campus we should have 
these charts available. Then 
maybe students will think twice 
about eating these kinds of 
foods," Leas said. 

Junk foods such as pizza, chips 
and soda are snacks that college 
kids seem to abuse too. 

"A lot of kids aren't getting as 
much guidance at home because 
they come here with really bad 
eating habits. Sugars are so harm- 
ful to weight. Students don't real- 
ize that just one can of soda has 
about 15 teaspoons of sugar in 
it," said Leas. "It's tough because

basis. 



a lot of students don't have 
enough knowledge when it 
comes to eating healthy. Not 
everything in the cafeteria is bad. 
You have to allow yourself to get 
used to things that don't taste so 
good." 



More darkness 
means people are apt to 

stay home, but really 
there is nothing wrong 

with going for a walk 
or a jog in the snow. 99 

-Rebecca Leas 



Leas also had advice for stu- 
dents who complain about being 
to busy to work out. 

"It can be dealt with but first 
you need to have a positive atti- 
tude about it. It might seem hard 
now at school but wait until you 
get out into the real world and 
have to commute back and forth 
to work," said Leas. "You have to 
commit yourself and realize what 
it can do for your life. Maybe 
you'll have to cut back on a tv 
show and face your priorities. 
Taking care of your body is way 
more important. Research shows 



that exercise stimulates your 
brain and helps you think better." 

"I use the Rec Center as much 
as I can when I have time," said 
Lisa Anzaldi, a junior accounting 
major. 

Leas also said that by using 
time management students can 
take their assignments with them 
while they take a walk or a jog. 

"You can bring notecards and 
study at the same time. By doing 
this you make time more valu- 
able," said Leas. 

Leas has a few suggestions 
about staying fit this winter. 

"The key thing is that you want 
to get as much stimulation of that 
metabolism. You have to exercise 
on a daily basis as much as possi- 
ble. There's no such thing as only 
three days a week because you 
need to stay active, especially for 
cholesterol control," said Leas. 
"You should work out at least 30- 
60 minutes a day. Take the steps 
instead of the elevators and esca- 
lators." 

Still some students will not 
have an agenda for this winter. 

Casey Foor, an undecided 
freshman said, "I'm not going to 
do anything to avoid gaining 
weight this season because it will 
all come off in the summer."

STDs becoming a large concern on college campuses 






by Lisa Covington 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

The National Institute of 
Health (NIH) concludes. that at 
least two-thirds of those who 
have STDs are among the age 
group of 25 and younger. Here 
on Clarion's campus, there is not 
much of a difference. 



The most common 
sexually transmitted 

diseases among 
students are herpes, 

chlamydia 
and gonorrhea. 99 

-Susan Bornak 



I 



Young adults ages 19- 24 are 
among the highest age group 
with sexually transmitted dis- 
eases (STDs). The second group 
are those ages 10 - 19. The num- 
bers continue to rise among 
these age groups. 



"A sexually transmitted disease 
can be transmitted the first time 
(one has) sex, said Connie 
Hagan, a nurse practitioner at 
Keeling Health Center. 

Hagan further explains that 
many people have the attitude 'it 
won't happen to me' but often 
times it does. 

"STDs are a growing problem 
because many people are 
unaware of the statistics and how 
widespread the problem actually 
is," said Laura King, a senior 
secondary education major. 

Hagan also suggests that those 
who are sexually active should 
always use a condom even if the 
female is on birth control. 

Although one may not have 
any symptoms, there is still a 
possibility that a person can 
have an STD if he/she is sexual- 
ly active and doesn't use con- 
doms, especially if that person 
has more than one partner 
according to Hagan. 

"The most common sexually 



transmitted diseases among 
(Clarion) students are herpes, 
chlamydia and gonorrhea," said 
the director of Health Services in 
Keeling Health Center, Susan 
Bornak. 

These three are the most preva- 
lent among Clarion students and 
each are different but can have 
serious consequences. 

Although Keeling Health 
Center has a Women's Health 
Clinic, men are also welcome to 
be tested for STDs. 

According to Family Health 
Council, each of these STDs are 
spread through sexual inter- 
course, but each have different 
effects on one's body. 

Chlamydia can lead to infertil- 
ity in both sexes but if the 
female does get pregnant she 
could pass it on to her newborn 
child. In women, chlamydia and 
gonorrhea cause a variety of 
symptoms such as discharge 
from the vagina, abnormal peri- 
ods, pain in the abdomen and a

burning sensation during urina- 
tion. 

Men also have similar symp- 
toms for both of these STDs, 
such as painful urination, 
swollen testicles, a need to uri- 
nate often and an unusual white 
discharge from the penis. 

Acording to the NIH, women 
infected with chlamydia display 
no symptoms 85 percent of the 
time while 40 percent of men 
with this disease do not have any 
symptoms. 

Ten to forty percent of women 
with gonorrhea risk infertility if 
not treated soon after infection. 
Gonorrhea and Chlamydia are 
bacterial infections that are cur- 
able, unlike herpes, a virus that 
remains incurable. 

Some people may not experi- 
ence symptoms of herpes, how- 
ever, those who experience 
symptoms often see them within 
a months time of contracting the 
disease. Symptoms include a flu- 
like feeling, itching and burning 
on the mouth or the sex organs 
where blisters may appear. 
Blisters may go away with in 
three weeks, that does not mean 
that herpes has also disappeared. 
"I think that STDs are a prob- 
lem on campus because students 
are not educated enough on the 
facts about STDs," said Hank 
Crawford a senior communica- 
tion major. 

Not only is the number of col- 
lege age students infected with 
students rising, but the NIH has 
recently discovered that at least 
one in five people in the United 
States, over the age of twelve 
has the herpes virus. 

Although some may find the 
statistics frightening, help is 
available on and off campus. 
"After learning about them

(STDs) in health class today I 
am deathly afraid," said Kyle 
Wamelink, a sophomore 
pre/dentistry and biology major. 
Keeling Health Center pro- 
vides STD testing for all stu- 
dents as well as free condoms to 
prevent contracting STDs. 

Currently Keeling tests for 
gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, 
bacteria vaginosis and tri- 
chomonas. 

Anyone interested in being 
tested for a STD can go to the 
Family Health Council, Inc. 

Those who are tested will be 
provided with confidental test- 
ing and results. 

The Pennsylvania State 
Department of Health began this 
program with the Family Health 
Council providing free testing 
and confidentiality among its 
clients, free medication for those 
who may have an STD, which is 
good news especially for those 
who don't have health insur- 
ance. There is no charse for 
those with or without insurance. 
Results usually come back in 
one to two weeks, which is fair- 
ly quick in comparison to family 
doctors and larger private prac- 
tices. 

"Help is available to the stu- 
dents, but it is up to them if they 
want help," said an anonymous 
student who has taken advantage 
of the Family Health Centers 
service of STD testing.

Student Senate allocates $7,510 to CU Marching Band 



by Chrissy Median 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Student Senate voted (18-0-0) 
at Monday night's meeting to 
allocate $7,510 from the capital 
account to the marching band. 

The money will be used to pur- 
chase new instruments. 

The money cannot have been 
taken out for the band's budget 
because the instruments are long- 
term investments. 

"I feel it is important to support 
our marching band, they do such a 
great job creating school pride," 
said Student Senate President 
Mike Phillips. 

According to Rachel Planavsky, 
a freshman percussionist in the 
marching band, a new xylophome 
and vibraphone. 

"I'm really excited about the 
instruments," said Planavsky. 
"We really need them." 

Next in the President's report, 
Phillips announced the four goals 
members of Senate will be taking 
with them to Edinboro University 
this weekend for the Board of 
Student Governors something. 

First is diversity - utililizing dif- 
ferences to build relationships 
between the university and its 
community. 

Second is pride - building 
school spirit through community 
service. 

A third goal involves such 



issues as housing, policies and 
drugs and alcohol. 

The fourth goal is to improve 
academic advisement. 

"The members of the BSGP are 
going to begin breaking down the 
issues of the year and begin 
implementing ways to accomplish 
these goals," said Philips. 
"This weekend will be a great 
experience, sharing ideas and 
learning from other issues at our 
sister institutions." 

The technology fee was dis- 
cussed under new business. 

Provost and Academic Vice 
President Joseph Grunenwald and 
Associate Provost for 

Administration Tom Gusler creat- 
ed a proposal explaining where 
the technology fee money will go. 

"Students should begin looking 
forward to more smart classrooms 
and laptops available for checkout 
at the Area Desks," said Phillips. 

The propsal states that $30,400 
will allow 19 additional student 
lab workers to be hired. 

$12,450 will go toward class- 
room response system equipment 
for a pilot program to be held in 
the spring 2003. 

A rear projection unit will be 
installed in Marwick-Boyd and 
Davis Hall, which will cost 
$17,300. 

Wireless classroom equipment 
will be installed in Davis Hall for 
$46,700. 



Computing equipment for a the- 
ater design lab/studio will cost 
$37,250. 

Two rear projection units will 
also be installed in Still Hall at a 
cost of $34,600. 

The Education Department will 
receive smart classroom equip- 
ment for 209 Stevens Hall, which 
will cost $16,500. Smart class- 
room equipment will also be 
installed in 208 Stevens for 
$11,200. 

The Special Education 
Department will have an adaptive 
technology computer lab, which 
will be located in Carlson Library 
for a cost of $43,250. 

A rear projection unit will be 
installed for the library science 
classroom in Carlson Library for 
$17,300. 

Suhr Library on Venango 
Campus will purchase 20 laptop 
computers for student use and a 
wireless network that will total 
$72,710. 

Included in the $72,7 10 is a sub- 
scription to JSTOR (a database 
that will give students access to 
more than 750,000 scholarly peri- 
odical articles) will cost approxi- 
mately $46,100. 

A rear projection unit will be 
installed in Montgomery Hall on 
Venango Campus for $17,300. 

A video conferencing system for 
one modern language classroom 
in Davis Hall will cost $17,281. 




Ben Chandlee/Clarion Call 



Student senators voted at Monday night's meeting to allo- 
cate $7,510 to the Marching Band. Uses for the technology 
fee were also discussed at the meeting. 



A Sonic Foundry Media Site 
designed to compress and store 
distance learning class sessions 
for students to review at a later 
date will cost $19,750. 

Two ten-station computer labs 
will be purchased for Nair and 
Campbell residence halls at a total 
cost of $43,800. 

Last in the proposal, 40 laptop 
computers, chargers and support- 
ing network connectivity equip- 
ment for a new program that will 
enable students to check out lap- 
tops from the Area Desks will cost 
$106,975. 

The combined total of all areas 
being improved is $608,166. 



The proposal has been submit- 
ted to the State System of Higher 
Education for approval. 

"This is very exciting that the 
State System created this technol- 
ogy fee," said Phillips. "This will 
take learning outside the class- 
room to a new level." 

Senator Paul Garris, chair of the 
student facilities committee, 
announced that more than 400 
replies have been received from 
the survey that went out to all stu- 
dents about their opinions on stu- 
dent owned buildings. 

Garris said the results will be 
available by the end of the semes- 
ter. 



Safety concerns speeding up 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Walking to class is getting a 
bit more dangerous. 

Many students are concerned 
about people speeding through 
campus. 

A crosswalk was painted on 
Main Street behind Nair and 
Wilkinson Halls leading to the 
new parking lot for the safety of 
pedestrians. 

The corner of Wilson Avenue 
and Wood Street is a concern 
for pedestrians. 

Director of Public Safety 
Dave Tedjeske said he can look 
into getting a crosswalk painted 
at that intersection. 

"I will have to work with the 
borough police on that," said 
Tedjeske. 

According to Tedjeske, 
Student Senate brought up the 
same issue last month. 



"Crosswalks are a two way 
street," said Tedjeske. 

He explains that pedestrians 
sometimes don't use crosswalks 
and instead just cross in the 
middle of the street or drivers 
don't stop at all for pedestrians 
in crosswalks. 

Officer William Peck IV of 
the Clarion Borough Police 
Department said he will take the 
concern to the Public Safety 
Committee meeting next month. 
The mayor, head of police and 
members of council attend the 
meeting. 

"I see a lot of kids crossing 
there," said Peck. 

"I walk all over campus and if 
you don't use the crosswalks 
drivers don't stop," said Chris 
Janson, a graduate business 
administration student. 

"Speeding is difficult for us to 
enforce because of legal juris- 
diction," said Tedjeske. 



Wilson Avenue, Wood Street 
and Greenville Avenue for 
example, are borough streets, 
which means the State police 
have jurisdiction over those 
streets. 

State police are only allowed 
to use timing devices such as 
Vascar to clock how fast a car is 
traveling said Tedjeske. 

"We can pull over students for 
speeding if they are driving 
recklessly," said Tedjeske. 

Tedjeske reminds students 
that the speed limit is 25 miles 
per hour in the borough. 

Speedbumps have been 
installed in the parking lot 
behind Nair and Wilkinson 
Halls and also in the parking lot 
behind Campbell Hall in hopes 
of deterring speeding. 

"I almost got hit by a car a 
few times in front of 
Campbell," said Chelsey

tion major. 

"We try to balance the need 
for speedbumps," said Tedjeske. 
Tedjeske also said he can look 
into installing additional speed 
limit signs around campus but 
that the signs are intially looked 



at but not followed after that. 

"I speed all the time," said 
Reggie Wells, a senior commu- 
nication major. 

"We haven't gotten any com- 
plaints or concerns about speed- 
ing," said Tedjeske.

EDITORIAL, BEN CHANDLEE 



Are we on the brink of war? 
With this question come many 
others. Is America prepared for 
another conflict, or perhaps, are 
we as Americans prepared? Can 
this be avoided? Will the draft 
be reinstated? Who and what 
should we believe within the 
media? These are just a few of 
the things a person ponders 
when the word war is brought 
up. 

Many college-age Americans 
question whether or not a draft is 
in the works and ultimately how 
this would impact their life. 
Although this may seem like a 
hypothetical question to many, it 
certainly does pose as an impor- 
tant reminder especially with 
Veteran's Day occurring this 
past Monday. 



'A Veterans Tribute" 

Approximately 40 years ago 
the Vietnam conflict required 
many of America's countrymen 
to head overseas and go head to 
head into battle. Perhaps 
required is not an appropriate 
word, for many believed that 
this war was not necessary. 

This article is not intended to 
rekindle old arguments or to dis- 
respect in any way the men who 
fought so hard and gave their 
lives for this country. I would 
rather like to dedicate this to the 
veterans as a way of saying 
thank you for giving up so 
much. 

If there were some way that 
today's generation could recap- 
ture the knowledge and wisdom 
from those who have experi- 
enced war, I believe we would 



make wiser and more informed 
decisions on whatever conflict 
seems to be lurking in the future. 
Watching a few films about 
war is one way to stir a person's 
emotions, but has no real com- 
parison. Hollywood has pro- 
duced a variety of movies in an 
effort to recreate war experi- 
ences. "Saving Private Ryan," 
"Black Hawk Down," 

"Platoon," and "We Were 
Soldiers" are a few that come to 
mind. 

After watching these movies 
and others, people often react 
with a feeling of empathy, but 
also relief when the movie is 
over. It's hard to imagine how 
we would react if it weren't just 
a movie. 

The fact that we are not at war 
yet is a blessing, but if we went 
to war it would be because of 
many demanding responsibili- 
ties. Among these is the respon- 
sibility to defend Americans and 
their constitutional rights, main- 
tain peace, and ultimately pro- 
tect the freedom we have. To do 
so, it would be in our best inter- 
est to appreciate what we do 
have as United States citizens, 
and make an effort to strive for 
peace. However, if it were your 
freedom at stake would you be 
ready to go?

tary education major. 





At universities 
across the land, com- 
munities of students, 
scholars and citizens 
should have as many 
outlets as possible for 
airing their beliefs and 

opinions. 99

It was in that same spirit of the slightest clue of what actually

ened debate that so many of us on War with Iraq, 
gathered together on Oct. 30 to The purpose of the forum was 
provide the Clarion community not to provide professors with a 
with an outlet for discussing the stage from which to lecture, pon- 
consequences of a potential war tificate, or denigrate, but to use 

the occasion to pose serious ques- 
tions for the audience to consider. 
Professors from political sci- 
ence, anthropolgy, history, philos- 
ophy, communication, English 
and geography all collaborated to 
make this event happen. 

We hoped to inspire as diverse 
an expression of viewpoints as 
possible, and we think it is clear 
to all of those who stayed for all 
or most of the event that there was 
not one overriding tone, tenor or 
ideology imposed by the forum's 
facilitators. 

Over the course of 90-plus min- 
utes, there was quite a diverse 
sampling of opinion. Any of the 
250-plus students and citizens 
who stayed for most of the forum 
can attest to this reality, as well as 
the fundamentally democratic 
format and spirit of the event. 

The faculty facilitators worked 
very doggedly, a la hyper-caf- 
feinated Phil Donahues, to get the 
microphone to as many folks as 
humanly possible so that they 
could offer their opinion and pose 
questions.

The forum was dominated by 
an open, democratic expression 
of views by the students and 
community members in atten- 
dance. At the conclusion of the 
forum, many people 

approached us with glowing 
reviews of the event and for- 
mat, and several students and 
citizens- from very diverse 
political perspectives- suggest- 
ed that we should have such 
forums every semester. 

Also, unless we have John 
Gerow, the author of the Nov. 7 
opinion piece, confused with 
someone else who looks just 
like him, how could he charac- 



terize the tone and tenor of a 
forum that he attended for a 
few minutes? 

Mr. Gerow came to the event, 
made a statement a few min- 
utes into the program, and then 
promptly left. He heard less 
than one-fifth of the program. 
He did not bother to stick 
around to hear what the rest of 
the audience had to say, nor to 
ponder the questions and com- 
ments posed by his peers. 

In his criticism of the forum 
(or rather, first 15 minutes of 
the forum), Mr. Gerow aimed 
part of his displeasure at ques- 
tions concerning the Bush doc- 



trine, implying that we had the 
audacity to pose questions 
about the president's central 
foreign policy initiative. 

He said that this was "snivel- 
ing and whining." We respect- 
fully reject this depiction. We 
merely presented topical ques- 
tions and a general structure, 
and then members of the audi- 
ence responded. 

Whether it is the Bush, 
Clinton, Reagan, Carter or 
Monroe doctrines- and whether 
or not you agree or disagree 
with such policies- it is pre- 
cisely the role of universities to 
foster the liveliest of discus-

What decision could be more

must be surprised and disap- 
pointed that there are many dif-

At the forum, we posed a 
series of questions about war 
and peace, national security, 
international law, the cost and 
utility of war, terrorism, civil 
liberties, and the role of the 
media. 

What was the response to 
these questions? Views from 
across the broad spectrum of 
public opinion, from strong, 
unambiguous support of 
President Bush's war resolu- 
tion to staunchly anti-war sen- 
timents. 

And, in between, believe it or 
not, some even raised ques- 
tions to which they had no def- 
inite answer. And that's the 
way it should be on campuses 
across the country: penetrating, 
complex and vital questions 
and thoughtful, passionate con-

No cause for war 



Dear Editor, 

Mr. John Gerow recently com- 
plained on these pages ("What does it 
take?") that the tone of the 
University's forum on foreing policy 
was in line with the views on most 
university campuses. Why not expect 
the best from those generally better 
informed? If he is correct, it is a cred- 
it to our students and faculty. 

Gerow's column is almost entirely 
devoted to inaccurate or misleading 
comments on the United Nations. He 
made no responsible case for a need- 
less and immoral pre-emptive war 
(one not on defense) on the Iraqi peo- 
ple which the majority of the nation's 
clergy oppose. They wisely favor 



diplomacy and negotiations. 

Such a mutual bloodletting will be 
waged, largely against women and 
children. The corporate media cover- 
age illustrates that the greatest obscen- 
tiy of this and other recent US wars is 
that only American lives matter. Our 
warmongers hide the killings under a 
deceitful "collateral damage" label. 

The honors of 9/1 1 produced a deep 
national fear and anger which provid- 
ed George the Second with the voice, 
power and opportunity to morph a 
"war (actually a police action) on ter- 
rorism" into a war against Iraq and his 
"axis of evil." Manipulating the "ter- 
rorism" of Al Qaeda to justify a war 
on Iraq is appalling and deceitful. 



Such a bloodletting would be our 
eighth war since 1950; and the fourth 
Bush war in less than six years. 

The Bush inner-circle, by deceitful- 
ly but unsuccessfully attempting to tie 
Al Qaeda and the "terrorists" to 
Saddam Hussein and Iraq have 
increased public fear support for war 
against Iraq. However, the CIA 
recently denied any such connection. 
The Nation has noted that 
"Administration zealous supporters 
on Iraq like James Woolsey, have not 
been able to come to any evidence of 
Iraqi collusion with terrorists organi- 
zations. There is no evidence that 
Saddam has cooperated with Al 
Qaeda or other 'terrorist groups with 



Striving for compassion 



Dear Editor, 

During the week of Oct. 21, we 
watched a terrible story unfold on 
campus. We all know that murder 
is wrong, but is that what our 
focus should be on? Horror, dis- 
gust, and anger were common 
reactions after word got out that a 
newborn child had been mur- 
dered. These are normal human 
responses to tragedy. 

These are not, however, con- 
structive. Reactions such as these 
fail to help us learn from the situ- 
ation. Dwelling on these emo- 
tions hinders social and personal 
growth by saturating society with 
one dimension of thought. 

If we want to begin to draw 
meaning from this event, we must 
get past our initial reactions and 
delve deeper. If we are to be well- 
rounded, thoughtful, and intelli- 



gent people we need to shift our 
focus from who is right and who is 
wrong, to a more productive 
mindset. 

A more productive mindset is 
one that brings us to a place of 
understanding and compassion. 
This is a place where we can put 
ourselves in the shoes of another 
person - the shoes of a young, 
frightened, fellow student with an 
overwhelming secret. 

If we want to prevent tragedies 
like this, we need to open our eyes 
and recognize those who are hurt- 
ing. It is clear that this girl felt 
that her options were very limited. 

People need to know that there 
is somewhere to turn for help. 
This horrific event may have been 
avoided if only she (Karen Mako) 
had felt she could confide in 
someone else. Perhaps she feared 



rejection if her secret was 
revealed. 

But how can we expect those 
who are in pain to open them- 
selves to us when our reactions are 
of horror, disgust and anger, not of 
understanding and compassion? 
It is no wonder that someone can 
feel so alone when most have 
already placed judgment without 
completely considering the cir- 
cumstances. 

We need to actively seek out the 
needs of others and strive to be the 
one to whom others can turn.

The fight for French class 

Dear Editor, 

It has come to my attention that the administration has decided to 
cancel a 300-level French class taught by Dr. P. N. Fortis, stating 
finances as the reason for closing the courses. However, the univer- 
sity spends millions on art and sculptures, renovations to several 
buildings, a bell tower and sidewalks. 

Throughout the years Dr. Fortis' classes have been among the 
quickest classes to close. By closing the section, you limit the student 
body in our academic choices as well as take away an excellent 
chance to broaden the students with cultural diversity. 

We urge you to reconsider your decision regarding 361: Black 
Writers in French Literature. 

A signed petition with more than 200 names has been sent to the 
provost and president of the university. 

Sincerely, 

Andy Labosky

global reach.' Nor is there any reason 
for the Iraqi leader to aid the apocalyt- 
ic goals of Islamic fanatics, who are 
seen to threaten his secular regime and 
bud for leadership in the Arab world." 

Bush, a jingoistic court appointee, 
and his cowboy followers exaggerat- 
ed our fears with a daily dose of warn- 
ings, dangers and threats. The objec- 
tives of the assault was to make us 
more and more fearful. The exagger- 
ated imaginary threats, the anger and 
the hyperpatriotism together with our 
fears gave the Bush circle clear open- 
ings to the full range of their objec- 
tives. 

The fearful citizenry chose to vote 
for Bush's "promise of security" and 
the Republican candidates he had 
pushed for weeks on his daily cam- 
paign journeys. The threatening mes- 
sages from Bush and the corporate 
media smothered that of Democrats 
speaking of the faltering economy, a 
collapsed stock market and the mil- 
lions threatened or jobless. 
Republicans won with fear. 

Bush and Cheney, heavily oiled by 
the petrol world, reward the oil king- 
dom at every opportunity. Iraq, next to 
our oil partner Saudi Arabia, has the 
world's largest oil reserves. A United 
States victory over Saddam will give 
control of those reserves to Gulf, 
Texaco and Exxon which is what 
France and Russia fear. 
The drumbeat of patrioteering, dead- 
ly fears, imminent threats and cheer- 
leading for war that come from Bush, 
Cheney and Rumsfeld has intimadat- 
ed a small majority and the Congress 
to support the never-ending struggle 
against the Iraqi people. 

Herbert Hoover said "older men 
declare war, but youth must fight and 
die." They are destined to be joined, as 
before, by thousands of innocent ci vil- 
ian women and children. Incidently. 
neither Cheney or Rumsfeld has 
served in the military, and Bush man- 
aged, with his father's help, to serve 
on the home front during the Vietnam. 

The warmongers constant fearful 
sales pitch for war assumes Saddam 
has "weapons of mass destruction" 
which would presumably threaten his 
neighbors and the U.S. But when has 
a 4th rate military power dared threat- 
en the planet's leading military 
power? Hussein is not an idiot. 
Considering his crushing defeat in 
1991, the costly sanctions and con- 
stant air surveillance and attacks 
which continue to this day, it is absurd 
to believe he would initiate any mili- 
tary action nd seek his immediate 
destruction. Whatever weapons he 
may have can serve no purpose but to 



discourage or defend against further 
attacks. 
The new and rapidly expanding mil- 
itary docket has already caused cuts in 
budgets for essential programs. It is 
guaranteed to inflict horrendous puni- 
tive costs on infrastructure, health, 
education, the environment and cul- 
ture for years to come. The economy 
continues to suffer, but Bush's corpo- 
rate friends, will as always feast on 
war and military profits, but the poor 
and the middle class will continue to 
pay. 

Gerow's assults on the United 
Nations is contrary to the historical 
record and the views of a majority of 
our citizenry. He claimed "the United 
Nations has no validity, no value and 
serves no purpose. It has not stopped 
one war, not saved one child, or fed 
one hungry mouth. It is a sham." Mr. 
Gerow is wrong on every count as 
noted below. 

A number of wars and snuggles 
have been halted by the United 
Nations, including the Anglo-French- 
Israeli war against Egypt in 1956. 
Several India-Pakistan conflicts have 
been concluded by the United 
Nations. 

The United Nations has prevented 
dozens of threatened conflicts. More 
than a dozen peace-keeping forces 
currently prevent violence. United 
Nations missions often aided to create 
cease fires. 

The United Nations has ananged or 
provided aid to refugees, offered 
assistance with reconstruction and 
development. 

The United Nations and its agencies 
have had a significant impact in dis- 
ease control, in health assistance and 
aided technological cooperation. The 
United Nations has provided food to 
millions facing starvation around the 
globe. 

It has brought about agreements and 
set standards in many areas including 
or dealing with labor, telecommuica- 
tions, trade, postal services and cultur- 
al matters. 

Strangely enough, most of what Mr. 
Gerow perceives to be UN failures, 
are the results of vetoes by individual 
members or obstrucive tacts by mem- 
bers or groups of members. 
The United Nations charter prohibits 
intervention in the internal domestic 
situations in member status with 
Gerow fails to recognize. 

Let there be no blood for oil, for 
political gain and support, or for a 
world dominated by a militaristic Pax 
Americana. 

Sincerely, 
Kenneth F. Emerick

younger years for extra 
money to get by. Her mother's 
designs as well as her own 
helped her sales and her 
career to grow. 

Carter showed slides of her 
amazing paintings, including 
her own self-portrait and 
many other unique ideas on 
canvas. She expresses that as 
a young woman she was 
taught to be prepared and 
never care what you look like, 
making her confident in her- 
self. 

Carter began to specialize in 
Intaglio print, a form of etch- 
ing. She was talented and 
wanted to do more for herself 
and her work. 

She chose to visit West 
Africa to look for her roots to 
get influence and information 
for her painting. Her divorce 
influenced her work as well, 
and she turned to painting and 
sketching for her creativity to 
express herself. 

Her next plan was to visit 
Nigeria on sabbatical for 
research. 

Many challenges here 
allowed for great work to be 
accomplished. When Carter 
attempted to take photos of 
Nigerian life, she was forced 



to pay a sum of money due to 
the fact that this is an exploit- 
ed country and is often used 
for photographic purposes. 
That did not stop her. 

Carter had some amazing 
accounts of Nigerian workers, 
including the creation of fab- 
ric, which interested her and 
influenced her future work. 
There were many good as well 
as bad accounts of Nigerian 
life. 

Carter showed photos of 
beautiful beaches and white 
horses but also run down and 
ruined building that once 
stood beautifully. 

Carter saw the exact fabric 
she went in search of and felt 
overwhelmed with pride and 
joy. She returned home after 
many months and began to 
work with this same fabric. 
Her creative works involved 
many beads as well as horse- 
hair and pigskin, some of 
which was from Nigeria. 

She explained how she 
returned home with Nigerian 
soil, unable to leave the coun- 
try without it. Some work 
included fabric and beads, 
which was not only expres- 
sive but also beautiful. All of 
Carter's work seems to be 



influenced by something or 
someone in one way or anoth- 
er and her work from this 
point on was no different. 

Carter created an amazing 
mock living room setup in the 
Annapolis Museum called the 
Carol Ann Carter Living 
Room. The living room was 
compiled of Carter's influ- 
ences in her work and is quite 
extravagant. 

Carter continued to travel to 
places including Stockholm 
while working and says her 
second husband helped to 
expand her horizons. They 
worked together and created a 
floor. She expresses that 
everything she sees is art and 
created a floor for display out 
of seeing and observing other 
floors everywhere for influ- 
ence. 

Carol Ann Carter's work is 
not only unique but she is 
extremely talented. The pho- 
tos, paintings and distinct cre- 
ations she presented are only 
a few beautiful pieces of cre- 
ative art she has to offer. Her 
life is accomplished and her 
talent is respectable. 

Her work is sure to continue 
as very astonishing for years 
to come. 



Live and Rearview Mirror to perform in Tippin Gym 



by Matthew T. May 
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor 

Tippin Gymnasium will churn with 
sounds of howling electric guitars, 
pounding drums and bellowing vocals 
of two eclectic frontmen as Live and 
Rearview Mirror take the stage on 
Tuesday, Nov. 19 for a rocking concert 
sponsored by the UAB. 

Live is best known for playing strong 
rock music, which sometimes gets an 
orchestra mixed into it, with booming 



vocals from their frontman Ed 
Kowalczyk. The lyrics of their songs 
range from incredibly deep to over 
dramatic. In some songs, the verses are 
nearly cryptic. 

Live has existed as a band since the 
mid-eighties when its four members 
were still in junior high. During their 
time at Edgar Fahs Junior High in 
York, Pa., the quartet played under the 
name Public Affection. The band 
admired groups like U2 and REM. 

After changing the name of the band 



to Live, the band finally got a break. In 
1991, they signed with Radioactive 
Records. Talking Heads guitarist Jerry 
Harrison produced Live's first album 
"Mental Jewelry" that was released in 
late 1991. The album got support from 
college and alternative radio stations. 
In 1994, Live's second album, 
"Throwing Copper," was released and 
broke the band into the main stream 
with the help of its single, "Lightning 
Crashes." Since its release, "Throwing 
Copper" has sold over seven million 



copies. 

Live has not looked back since then 
releasing three more high-selling 
albums: "Secret Samadhi" (1997), 
"The Distance to Here" (1999), and 
"V" (2002). 

The band is made up of Ed 
Kowalczyk doing vocals, Chad Taylor 
playing guitar, Patrick Dahlheimer 
playing the bass and Chad Gracey on 
drums.

Cawlvn and Carissa Movie Review 



Eminem shows off his acting talents 




by Carolyn Kelley and Carissa Rosati 

Clarion Call Staff Writers 

Carissa as an Eminem fan . . . 

"8 Mile" is a must see for all those Marshall 
Mathers (aka Eminem) fans out there. The 
movie is not even close to an autobiography 
about Eminem, but it does portray some of the 
same aspects of his life. 

Directed by Curtis Hanson ("L.A. 
Confidential" and "Wonder Boys"), the movie 
shows the turmoil that Jimmy "Rabbit" Smith 
Jr. (Mathers) has to overcome to win the 
respect of the streets. 

The drama opens with a scene of Rabbit 
practicing his freestyle in the bathroom of the 
local hip-hop club. 

The club has weekly rap battles where the 
crowd votes by cheering on which perfor- 
mance they liked better. 

The performances are one rapper totally 
making fun of the other one and then when it 
is the next person's turn they get to rap their 
degrading come back. Whichever one is the 
wittiest and sounds the best wins. Future 
(Mekhi Phifer) is the host of these rap battles,

and he is also one of Rabbit's best friends. 

Rabbit gets on stage and after listening to 
his opponent totally tear him apart he freezes 
and can't think straight. 

As if this isn't embarrassing enough, he also 
broke up with his girlfriend, which means he 
has to go back to the 8 Mile trailer park where 
his mom (Kim Basinger) and his little sister 
live. 

Things start to look up when he meets Alex 
(Brittany Murphy). He really starts to like her, 
but of course this can't work out. Something 
has to go wrong with the relationship. 

The movie goes through the steps of 
Rabbit's hard life: how he is a blue collar 
worker at the stamp factory, how his mother is 
really nothing to be proud of, and how he is 
just trying to make something out of himself 
by doing the thing he does best. 

"8 Mile" portrays Jimmy "Rabbit" Smith Jr. 
as caring and witty. He is the misunderstood 
street poet who is just trying to make his mark 
and show everyone that he is good. As the 
advertisements say, the overall theme of the 
movie simply is "every moment is another 
chance." 



Carolyn as someone who has heard of Eminem . 



Another musician turned 
actor. Eminem is the latest to 
follow fellow music stars like 
Britney Spears to the big 
screen. 

Although I am not a die- 
hard fan of his, I do have to 
admit his movie was enjoy- 
able. It wasn't a movie that 
tries to show off Eminem's 
star power, he plays a charac- 
ter and does a fine job. 

Jimmy "Rabbit" Smith Jr. is 
down on his luck. His dream 
is to make it big as a white 
rapper, but first he needs to 
get out of run down Detroit. 
He tries getting noticed down 
at the "Shelter," the local hot 
spot to test out your rapping 
abilities. 

Once Jimmy emerges 
onstage as "Rabbit," he loses 
his nerve and walks off stage 
without as much as a sound. 
Thus, his journey begins, to 
show everyone that even 
though he is white, he is bet- 



ter than the rest and he will 
make it. 

Eminem is teamed with a 
great cast including Kim 
Basinger as his trailer-trash 
Mom, Mekhi Phifer playing 
his best friend "Future," and 
Brittany Murphy appearing as 
the girl that grabs his atten- 
tion. 

The plot behind "8 Mile" is 
believable, but is 'it a story- 
line that has been used over 
and over? How many times 
has the tale been told of the 
underdog to emerge as the 
champion and hero? 

We are left at the end of the 
movie without any real 
answer. What becomes of 
Rabbit? Are we to expect that 
he follows the real life foot- 
steps of Eminem and becomes 
a major superstar? 

Did the directors assume 
that this movie would only 
attract Eminem fans?' Going 
into the movie 1 really had no 



knowledge of any of his work, 
besides the over played hits 
that are on the radio. 

Coming out, I still wasn't 
exposed to much of his work. 
He could have used this 
movie to bring in a much larg- 
er, newer fan base. 

There aren't any live per- 
formances, only his battles 
against another rapper at the 
Shelter, and those were per- 
sonal attacks against each 
other. 

This movie did make me 
want to stop and listen to 
what Eminem has to say. 
Maybe I would enjoy his 
music now. 

I recommend "8 Mile" to 
anyone is in the mood for a 
story about a struggling musi- 
cian, the girls that can't wait 
to see some skin of Eminem, 
and those people that are curi- 
ous to see what kind of an 
image he portrays on the big 
screen.

Theater Review 



"Tartuffe" delivers what it promises 



by Jessica Geary 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



f- 



The Clarion University Theatre, opened its second 
production for the 2002-2003 season on Tuesday 
Nov. 12 in the Marwick-Boyd Little Theatre. 
"Tartuffe" hit the stage, literally. 

This one set, two act play, was an original pro- 
duction by Jean Baptiste Poquelin De Moliere and 
was played in a new adaptation by Tim Mooney, a 
Moliere expert. 

Robert Bullington directed the production. 
Originally "Tartuffe" was performed for King Louis 
the XIV of France. The play was banned in 1664 
because of objection from the Catholic Church 
because of its risque content. The ban was not lifted 
until 1669 after revision and petition to the King 
from Moliere. 

Upon entering the theatre the audience is present- 
ed with an elaborate stage decor. 

From golden pillars, a beautiful fireplace, and 
hanging chandeliers, the color scheme of red, gold 
and yellow leave the audience with a feeling of 
wealth. 

The stage is set on an angle, so the audience is 
able to get a good glimpse of everything the stage 
holds. Edward J. Powers did scene and lighting 
design. 

Classical music playing in the background and in 
between scene changes gives the feeling of elegance 
even when the play is not. 

Orgon, a kind good Christian man takes in a bum, 

in hopes to give him a second chance in life. 

Unfortunately, he is unaware of Tartuffe's true 

^intentions because of his phony Christian act. 

Although his family all warns him against his high 



thoughts of Tartuffe, he does not listen. 

To get back at his family, he orders his daughter to 
wed this man. He does not believe Tartuffe could be 
such a terrible person until his wife demonstrates 
what a monster he really is. 

Unfortunately, he has already singed a document 
that he fears will leave his family poor and on the 
streets. A turn of fate leaves the audience with hope 
that in the end good does succeed over evil. 

Myra Bullington designed the costumes. From 
long flowing gowns, jewelry and head dresses on the 
women, to men's outfits fit for a king in the 1600's. 

They were extravagant displays of what the time 
period held for the wealthy. 

The well-known curly wigs of the time could be 
found on all the men. The make-up was original for 
the period utilizing powdered faces, bright red lips 
and rosy red cheeks. 

Ten Clarion University students and one special 
guest made up the cast of Tartuffe. 

The student cast included: 

*Laura Crago (Madame Pernelle) 

* Shawn Colten (Orgon) 
*Nikaela Karcher (Elmire) 
*Tom Manning (Damis) 

* Andrea Smith (Mariane) 
*Brian Schulze (Valere) 
*Bret Sloan (Cleante) 

* Katie Kerr (Dorine) 

♦Steve Gallagher (Monsieur Loyal) 
*Travis McGunigle (a police officer) 
Will Stutts played the title character of Tartuffe. 
He has been active in professional theatre for more 
than 34 years and is participating in this production 
though the Actors Equity Association, the Union of 
Professional Actors and Stage managers in the 



United States. 

Stutts has performed Broadway and Off-Broadway 
shows and has been a previous guest artist in col- 
leges around the country. 

All the actors and actresses did a wonderful job. 
Although there were some minor technicalities, like 
missed lines, stage slips, and trying to keep them- 
selves from laughing, the opening night was a ureat 
success. 

The lines of the play were on going rhymes, which 
at the time caused some misunderstandings because 
of how quickly the lines were said. This factor, how- 
ever, was not enough to take away from the overall 
point. 

It was wonderful to see such a diversity of skills 
on the stage for this production. The interaction 
between the cast made the play more interesting and 
enjoyable. 

The cast appeared to be comfortable in their roles, 
some of which at times were a little risque them- 
selves, and seemed to have an overall enjoyable 
time. 

"Tartuffe" runs until Saturday Nov. 16, 2002. 
Show time is 8:00 p.m. Adult's are 8$ and children 
twelve and under are $5. Clarion University students 
are free with valid I.D. 

If a play of tasteless tastefulness is what vou 
want, then "Tartuffe" shall be the end to your hunt. 
With rich people questioning what they have done, 
this production is full of all kinds of fun. If your 
entertainment requirements this does not fill, then 
surely the next statement will. Do not be fooled by 
the appearance of active sin, for it's all portrayed by 
such an avid Christian. This play is a chance to see 
a man's bad luck, who missed receiving that one 
last. ..opportunity.

Music Review 



Syndicated Writer 

articles on potty training, as well 
as books on potty training, CDs on 
potty training and elaborate videos 
on potty training, starring Keanu 
Reeves as a major bodily function. 
This is insane. Potty training is not 
that complicated. You just follow 
this simple three-step procedure: 

STEP ONE: Get a potty. 

STEP TWO: Explain to the child 
that mommy and daddy use a 
potty, and Big Bird uses a potty, 
and Barney uses a potty, and Vice 
President Cheney uses a potty in 
an undisclosed location, and it's 
time for the child to start using the 
potty, so he or she can be a big boy 
or girl and everybody will be SO 
PROUD and it will be SO MUCH 
FUN! 

STEP THREE: Leave immedi- 
ately on a 1 5-day business trip. 
By the time you return, your child 
will be potty-trained, and you can 
say "so long" to diapers! This is 
good, as you will need money for 
the divorce. 

But my point is that there is a 



vast quantity of information out 
there for parents of small children, 
written by experts, and most of it is 
a complete waste of time. What we 
parents need is practical advice on 
how to handle real-life parenting 
scenarios, such as these, which are 
taken from actual situations 
involving my actual family: 

SCENARIO ONE: You are dri- 
ving. Your 2-year-old child is rid- 
ing in back, strapped into her car 
seat, which you have probably 
installed incorrectly. Suddenly, 
your child receives one of those 
transgalactic radio signals that 
children get from the Planet of 
Random Thoughts, and declares: 
"Birds don't have eyebrows." You 
agree with this statement. Your 
child then says: "But I have eye- 
brows." Again, you agree. The 
backseat is silent for a moment. 
Then there is a loud wail of 
anguish. "What's wrong?" you say, 
trying to look backward and drive 
forward at the same time. "I 
CAN'T FIND MY EYEBROWS!" 



the child wails. "It's OK!" you say. 
"You have eyebrows! On your 
head! In the front!" "BUT I DON'T 
FEEL THEM!" your child wails. 
You can't pull off the road. Your 
child is getting hysterical. You are 
starting to wonder if your child 
did, somehow, lose her eyebrows 
while in your care, in which case 
you will be in serious trouble when 
you get home. 

SCENARIO TWO: Your 2-year- 
old child sees a dead worm on the 
sidewalk. Your child, sensing that 
things might not be going well for 
the worm ~ perhaps because about 
1 7,000 ants are eating it ~ wants 
the worm to move. "He doesn't 
want to move right now," you say. 
"He's sleeping." Your child starts to 
cry. She's even more upset than 
when she lost her eyebrows. She 
demands that you wake the worm 
up. You find yourself on hands and 
knees, nudging the worm, which is 
displaying the same vital signs, 
and stiffness level, as a pretzel, and 
you are saying, "Wake up, Wormie 



Wormie!" You feel like an idiot. 
Even the ants are laughing at you. 
(Just wait until THEY have kids.) 

SCENARIO THREE: You are at 
McDonald's, and your child has 
climbed, All By Herself, to the 
very top of the climbing maze in 
the kiddie play area. When she 
gets up there, she begins to cry, 
very loudly. All of McDonald's has 
stopped, in mid-chew, to stare. 
Your child will not say why she is 
crying, and she will not come 
down. You have no choice but to 
crawl all the way to the top of the 
maze, through tunnels designed 
for people who are the size of a 
single one of your thighs. 

When you reach the top, your 
child hands you the cause of her 
distress: a booger. With this item in 
hand, you must now climb back 
down. 

These are the kinds of issues that

Justin Timberlike proves he is "Justified" in going solo 



by Anne Golden 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Justin Timberlake's solo album, 
"Justified" is one of those CD's 
that you will have to listen to 
twice to really appreciate it. 

At first listen, it sounds like 
Justin could not make up his mind 
while he was recording this 
album. Justin did not lie when he 
stated in interviews that this CD is 
something that has never been 
done before. It is an eclectic mix 
of the types of music that Justin 
enjoys, and it shows. 

Justin has some big name pro- 
ducers on this album. Justin col- 
laborates with the best of the best, 
such as The Neptunes, Timbaland, 
Janet Jackson, Brian McKnight, 
Bubba Sparxxx, and Clipse. Just 
because Justin went solo, does not 
mean he does not need help from 
the above people to help him pro- 
duce a great album. 

His first single released from 
"Justified," the TRL topping 
"Like I Love You" is a new sound 



that shows Justin's style and his 
influences. It features the new rap 
duo Clipse, who blend perfectly 
with Justin's Michael Jackson- 
like voice on this track. Some say 
Justin went too far with the 
Jackson impersonating voice, but 
he pulls it off and makes the track 
steamy and danceable. 

"Senorita" is a fun song that 
opens the album. Pharell helps 
Justin out again, with tight drums 
and live piano. The song includes 
a strong high-pitched chorus that 
no one other than Justin should try 
to sing. It also has a fun "Guy's 
say" "Girl's say" verse where the 
listener can sing along, and would 
be great in front of a live audi- 
ence. 

"(Oh No) What You Got" is a 
Timbaland produced track that 
uses Indian sitars and wind instru- 
ments that could be compared to 
"Addictive" by Truth Hurts. 
Timbaland's deep voice adds 
good contrast to Justin's chorus, 
and this is a strong R&B track. 

"Take It From Here" is another 



R&B influenced track that uses 
strings, acoustic guitar, and clever 
lyrics about what Justin wants to 
be to the girl he is interested in. 
The slow beat may lose some lis- 
teners, but the ad-libs at the end it 
is worth sticking around for. 

"Cry Me A River" is another 
Timbaland track, and sounds like 
it could be a Missy Elliot song. It 
has excellent beat box, which we 
all know Justin likes to do. 
(Remember *N SYNC's "Pop" 
video?) This also is not a typical 
break up song. It is more upbeat 
and includes choir singing, "Cry 
Me A River" when Justin has no 
sympathy for the girl who broke 
his heart. 

"Rock Your Body" is a straight 
disco song, which might surprise 
listeners with its heavy disco beat. 
If Janet Jackson could do it on 
"All For You," Justin surely could 
do it on this track. It almost 
sounds like Jimmy Fallon's "Idiot 
Boyfriend," but it is hard to pic- 
ture Justin gyrating on Grandma. 
It includes newcomer Vanessa 



Marquez singing to Justin, and her 
voice is promising. This song 
would not be the best to release, 
so Vanessa's lyrics 'may get 
ignored. 

"Nothing Else" is a skippable 
track where Justin sounds like a 
Musiq wannabe. "Last Night" fol- 
lows with more R&B beats, where 
Justin finally completes his 
Michael Jackson transformation. 
Sometimes male voices should 
never go that high. 

"Still On My Brain" is a good 
ballad that also could be com- 
pared to Musiq 's songs, straight 
down to the piano. "(And She 
Said) Take Me Now" is one to 
look out for, with Janet Jackson 
adding vocals. This song is disco 
too, but the Timbaland beat 
updates it for 2002. 

"Right For Me" is one of the 
best up-tempo songs on the 
album. It would make a great 
release because of the clever 
lyrics and the hand claps for the 
beat. Bubba Sparxxx adds a rap to 
the track and it compliments it and 



makes it credible to the R&B 
genre. "Let's Take A Ride" is 
another good R&B track with 
good harmonies and guitar. 

"Never Again" is definitely the 
strongest track on this album. On 
this track, Justin co-writes with 
Brian McKnight to make an emo- 
tional song that Justin's voice 
shines on. If you buy this CD only 
for one song, let this be it. It com- 
petes with *N SYNC's "Gone" 
and Brian McKnight's 

"Anytime." It is a beautiful song 
about losing someone you love, 
with wonderful strings, piano, and 
guitar. 

Overall, Justin's solo album is 
an excellent first try. When artists 
break off from the group that 
made them stars, the victims are 
usually their first albums based 
merely on popularity rather than 
talent. If Justin keeps it up, he 
may never need to go back to *N 
SYNC unless there is a reunion. 

Buy this CD and give it a try, but 
keep in mind it gets better the 
more you listen to it.

Volleyball 



Lady Eagles head into Regional tournament with confidence 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

Head Volleyball Coach Tracy Fluharty 
and her team will prepare over the next 
several days for their biggest match of the 
season. 

The 31-4 Lady Eagle team will make 
their first trip to the Regional Tournament 
since the early 1980's and they are looking 
for big things to happen. From the eight 
regions competing in the tournament, the 
top six teams from each will particiapte. 

The team just missed competing in the 
PSAC Championship this weekend finish- 
ing behind IUP (1) and Edinboro (2) in the 
conference. They will enter Regionals 
ranked third and face a single elimination 
tournament, however if all goes well and 
they take first place, they will head to 
Nationals. 

The Lady Eagles will have a chance to 
play the sixth place team in the region in 
the first round and then play the second 
place team in the second round. If IUP 
defeats Edinboro, there is a chance 
Clarion might go in as the second seed, 
therefore receiving a first round bye. 

Looking back in the regular season, 
Clarion played a hard match against IUP 
taking them all the way to five games and 
just recently they defeated Edinboro 3-1. 



"The team knows that they should have 
beaten IUP and they know they can beat 
Edinboro, so I feel the key to winning will 
be just to do it and not think about it," said 
Coach Fluharty. 

The team feels that although they like to 
be competing for the PSAC Championship 
this weekend, they will have more time to 
focus on getting better rather than playing. 

Practices this week will be light and then 
become more intense as the tournament 
becomes closer next week. They will then 
primarily focus on team strategy and more 
importantly their mental game. Coach 
Fluharty believes that next week will be a 
big mental week for her team. 

"The key to winning Regionals will be 
playing tough for each game and believe 
in ourselves that anything can happen," 
said Fluharty. 

The Lady Eagls current team statistics 
are 1,727 kills, 1,525 assists, 2,402 digs, 
330 total blocks, 214 service aces, and a 
.302 hitting percentage. 

Regionals will be Nov. 21-23. The loca- 
tion, whch has yet to be determined, will 
either be held at IUP or Edinboro. 

"Overall, I am very pleased with the suc- 
cess of the team, they have been working 
very hard and deserve to be recognized for 
their talent and abilities," added Fluharty. 




Ben Chandlee/ The Clarion Call 

Teamwork will be a major factor for the Lady Eagle team next weekend at 
Regionals and they have already proved to be successful with that at 31-4. 



Swimming and Diving teams win first home meet 



by Katie Zimmer 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

The Clarion University Mens and 
Womens Swimming and Diving teams 
defeated Shippensburg University,

Many athletes feel as if their 
schedules most closely resemble 
that of a copy machine. Each day, 
week, month, year looks like an 
exact duplicate of the previous 
one. Day in, day out, we follow 
routine patterns of practice, class, 
practice and sleep, with eating, 
studying, and work all wedged 
somewhere within those guides. 
Often times, although our bodies 
adapt to the plan, we just seem to 
lose the drive to push further. For 
many of us who dedicate our 
lives to sports, overcoming this 
bump opens the door to great suc- 
cess. So what must we do to press 
through the pressures of routine? 

On Sunday, for the first time in 
three years, I skipped out of prac- 
tice. I took my "get out of jail 
free" card, and relished in a day 
of relaxation. Although practice 
consisted of mostly stretching, I 
still opted to take a (much need- 
ed) day of "me time." Playing 
hookie from practice totally goes 
against my style, but it proved to 
be the perfect remedy for the dol- 
drums of routine. 

Often times, when athletes feel 
they're heading straight into the 
deepest point of the troughs of 
practice, a switch in routine may 
lighten their attitudes about that 
sport. Taking a day off (if possi- 
ble), attending a different practice 
time or working with other team- 
mates sways away from the ordi- 
nary. Little changes such as these 
can help athletes get through the 
times when practicing seems like 
a daunting chore. 



Switching the routine can lead 
to many positive outcomes, open- 
ing the door to future success. 
The most important factor to con- 
sider whenever participating in a 
sport involves the athletes' men- 
tal conditions. Athletes need to 
try and make little adjustments in 
their schedules to improve their 
individual attitudes towards their 
sport. Making the smallest 
changes can drastically improve 
an athlete's opinions of their 
sport, preventing future burnout. 

So how do we know when it's 
time to make a change? Several 
factors come in to play when 
deciding upon this concept. Most 
of us know how we feel towards 
our individual routines and 
sports. Some of us enjoy our rou- 
tines for our own personal rea- 
sons, while others feel overbur- 
dened by them. Whenever that 
overwhelming feeling negatively 
effects overall performance, an 
athlete can alter their routine in 
order to get back on the right 
mental track. 

Although some can deter- 
mine whether or not a change 
may help based on presentation, 
other athletes may feel extremely 
negative toward their sport, yet 
still perform well. These types of 
athletes can carry on with out- 
standing shows at practice and 
competitions, but suffer dramatic 
breakdowns that seem to surface 
out of the blue. Although difficult 
to pinpoint, coaches must keep 
their eyes peeled for these indi- 
viduals. These characters general- 
ly require few changes to uplift 
their spirits, but determining 
when proves to be the most diffi- 
cult aspect of making any neces 
sary adjustments. Some possible 
signs include repetitive com- 
plaints, lack of enthusiasm after 
remarkable performances and 
constant dissatisfaction. If you 
happen to experience any of 
these, or know someone who 
may, I suggest a little change-up 
to break the system. 

On a closing note, switching 
the lineup just might be the miss- 
ing link in moving forward and 
bettering performance. Whether 
you're an athlete or a coach, 
remember that variety is the spice 
of life, so try and keep a tasty fla- 
vor!

Eagles next score when noseguard 
Troy Bowers broke through the line 
and caused Lock Haven quarterback 
Tim Storino to fumble the pigskin at

Clarion University co 



by Matthew T. May 
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor 

On the brisk evening of Nov. 12, 
more than a hundred people, most- 
ly college students, stood outside 
Tippin Gymnasium with their lips 
quivering and bodies shaking from 
the frigid Clarion wind. Staring at 
the locked doors, the crowd 
longed for the warmth of the 
building but suffered through the 
cold. 

Most of them weren't dressed for 
such frigid temperatures. The 
crowd was awaiting the UAB con- 
cert featuring Live and Rearview 
Mirror, and they knew they would 
have no where to put their winter 
coats once the concert began to 
heat up. 

Once the doors finally opened 20 
minutes later than scheduled, the 



frosty crowd was soon greeted by 
the sauna that is Tippin 
Gymnasium and by the pounding 
music of the concert's opening act 
Rearview Mirror. 

The outside cold was forgotten 
as the young alternative rock quar- 
tet performed with sweat pouring 
from their brows. 

Rearview Mirror, a little known 
band from Iowa, played as hard as 
they could to warm up the crowd. 
Unfortunately, those in attendance 
had a difficult time diving into the 
band's music. 

Since the band's first album, "All 
Lights Off," was released in June 
with little fanfare, it was the first 
time many people heard any of the 
band's songs. Another drawback 
was the acoustics of the gymnasi- 
um and the overbearing bass of the 
music, which made the lyrics 



almost impossible to decipher. 

After Rearview Mirror left the 
stage with a small amount of 
applause, a nearly 40 minute inter- 
mission occurred which caused 
the audience to become anxious. 
Live was clearly the band every- 
one came to see. 

The audience began to ecstati- 
cally cheer in anticipation as the 
lights dimmed and smoke rose 
around the stage. 

As a guitar wailed, Ed 
Kowalczyk, Live's frontman, 
appeared through the smoke in a 
bright yellow light beaming 
around him. As he peered out over 
the audience through sunglasses, 
the crowd welcomed the band, all 
of whom are from York, Pa., back 
to Pennsylvania by screaming and 
raising their hands high. 
While Rearview Mirror had trou-

Gymnasium. 



ble getting audience participation, 
Live had the audience singing the 
verses of their songs with them 
and cheering as loud as they could. 
With five albums under their 
belts and a number of hit singles, 
every audience member waited 
anxiously at the end of each song 
in the hope of hearing their 
favorite song from any of Live's 
albums. 

When Live began to play "All 
Over You" from their immensely 
popular 1994 "Throwing Copper" 
album, the audience swayed and 
recited the words. 

Live flawlessly switched 
between older and newer material 
throughout the concert while 
never disrupting the flow of the 
concert. 

Lighters rose two times during 
the concert when Live played two 
of their slower songs: "Turn My 
Head" and "Lightning Crashes." 

Kowalczyk was able to take a 
break from singing the chorus of 
"Lightning Crashes," arguably 
Live's biggest hit, as he held the 
microphone out to the audience 
who perfectly recited the lyrics. 
Impressed, Kowalczyk smiled and 
gave an "ok" gesture before taking 
the song back over. 

When Live left the stage after an 
hour of playing, the hot and 
sweaty audience had no intentions 
of going out into the cold. They 
stood their ground and repeatedly 
chanted "Ed" until the band 
returned to the stage. 

Kowalczyk became more talka- 
tive during the encore saying, 
"You know we come from a small 
town in this damn state." The 
audience cheered. 

He then sent the song "S**t 
Towne" out to his fellow 
Pennsylvanians in the crowd. 

Live followed up the powerful 
single "Run to the Water" from 
their 1999 album "The Distance to 
Here." 

Kowalczyk said that the band

was now in the studio recording 
their sixth album. 

"We ain't that old, man," 
Kowalczyk told the audience. "We 
just never went to college." 

Live played a song they claimed 
they "never played for human 
beings, only rats," called "Life 
Marches On" which will probably 
be on their upcoming album. The 
only indication that the song was 
new was that none of the audience 
was singing to it. Live played it 
masterfully just as they had done 
with all the other songs they had 
been playing for years.

Students can soon cram all night in Carlson Library 



by Denise Carter 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

A 24 - hour study hall for 
finals proposed by President 
Diane Reinhard starts Dec. 4 
at 8 a.m in the Carlson 
Library. 

Howard McGinn, the dean 
of libraries and Provost Dr. 
Joe Grunenwald, worked with 
Reinhard to make sure the 24 
- hour study hall was possible 
because they all felt that it 
was important to keep the 
library open during final 
exams. 

Except for Saturday Dec. 7 
when the library closes at 7 
p.m and re-opens Sunday at 1 
p.m, the 24 - hour study hall 
should be in effect until mid- 
night Dec 12. 

"It is another way to do it," 
said McGinn. "The library 
presents an effective atmos- 
phere for studying." 

Many students are in favor 
of the 24 - hour study hall and 
they believe that everyone can 



benefit from it. 

"I think it is what we need 
in Clarion. Students will be 
more able to study if the 
library is open 24 - hours," 
said Deidre Lesesne, sopho- 
more communication major. 

McGinn explained that his 
daughter used to start study- 
ing at midnight and was able 
to pull all-nighters. He said 
that students should come to 
the library at their most effec- 
tive study times. 

"It is a good idea because 
you can get some last minute 
studying in before finals. It is 
a nice quiet environment to 
study," said Terrance Stokes, 
a junior communication 
major. 

Although a quiet environ- 
ment helps students focus, it 
is also important to have good 
study skills. Students can 
find information on good 
study skills via the Internet by 
vistiting www.howtostudy.org 
and www.amelox.com. 

If there is one thing that 



both websites stress, it's that 
cramming for a test is a bad 
move. 

"If a student has been pro- 
crastinating all semester, you 
are out of time, just do not 
procrastinate in the second 
semester," said McGinn. "Try 
hard to catch up because you 
could have to work really 
hard to make sure you get a 
good grad.," 

Dean added that students 
should not procrastinate 
because good study skills 
have to occur during a whole 
semester of studying so stu- 
dents are not facing a crisis at 
the end of the semester. 

"I study late at night 
because I am more focused at 
night time and the 24 - hour 
study hall is very productive

Children to attend Clarion for a day of play 



by Lisa Covington 
Clarion^ CaH Staff VVriter^ 

Initiated by a non-traditional 
student, "Kids Come to 
College" Day will be kicking 
off next month. 

Christina Minnick, a non-tra- 
ditional real estate student, 
inquired to Diana Anderson- 
Brush, director of community 
service-learning, commuter and 
non-traditional students, about 
planning an event for the days 
her children have the day off 
from school but she does not. 

Many schools have off for 
minor holidays such as 
Veteran's Day, Columbus Day, 
President's Day, etc. 

Anderson-Brush agreed with 
Minnick that such an event 
could be useful at Clarion and 



said it could happen here. 

Because of the large number 
of registered student volunteers 
the Community Service- 
Learning (CSL) Office 
received to assist with planning 
this event, it will take place on 
Dec. 2. 

"The overwhelming response 
from our (volunteer) students 
helps promote this event to 
take place," said Anderson- 
Brush 

She explains that about 35 
Clarion University students 
will organize the day's activi- 
ties. 

"It's going to be up to the 
volunteers to plan these 
events," said Anderson-Brush. 
Separate activity centers will 
be throughout the Gemmell 
Student Complex, which will 



show the children movies, how 
to make arts and crafts and also 
several games for the children 
to play. The CSL Office is also 
trying to take the children to 
the radio and television stations 
for a tour. 

The CSL Office is also work- 
ing with the Recreation Center 
to have the children play soc- 
cer, basketball and other sports. 

"It's a good idea and it will 
help out students (who are) 
parents," said Minnick. 

Students who would like their 
children to participate in "Take 
Your Kids To College" Day 
should fill out a registration 
form, available in the CSL 
Office in 275 Gemmell. 
Students that plan to participate 
must pre-register by Nov. 22. 

If the event is successful, 



Anderson-Brush hopes to spon- 
sor the event again. 

"We thought this would be a 
nice service," said Anderson- 
Brush. "We'd like to do it 
again." 

Faculty and staff will be noti- 
fied via e-mail by Anderson- 
Brush by Nov. 25 about 
whether or not their children 
can participate . 

Children who range in ages 
from 5-12 are welcome to par- 
ticipate in the full day of activ- 
ities for as long as their parents 
would like between 7:30 a.m. 
and 5 p.m. 

The event is free and children 
should come with a bagged 
lunch. 

Volunteers are needed for 
several upcoming community 
service events that include ref-

BSU visits nation's largest art expo in Philly 



by Lisa Covington 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



t •••••• i 



>••••••••••••••< 



During the weekend of Nov. 
8, a group of students traveled 
to the nation's largest Black 
Art Expo in Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania. This trip was 
sponsored by the Black 
Student Union and had an edu- 
cational and awareness compo- 
nent for those who attended. 

"This provided a new inter- 
est among students that 
allowed them to look at art in 
depth and have a new appreci- 
ation for it," said Dahnte 
Crawley, President of the 
Black Student Union (B.S.U.). 
Booths were around the Expo 
with authors signing books and 
artists talking about their 
works for students to attend. 

Crawley further explains that 
students who went on this trip 
made contacts with artists, 
CEO's and art gallery own- 
ers. 



Many artists were on hand to 
explain their artwork and 
answer questions participants 
had. 

Crawley indicated that his 
goal for making this trip possi- 
ble was to make students 
aware of black artists, but it 
did much more than that for 
students. 

"This was an experience for 
(students) to learn about art 
and the chance to network," 
said Vice-President of 
Fundraising for B.S.U. Ivory 
Smith, a junior business major 
with a minor in psychology. 

Smith further explains that 
during this event, all the 
Clarion students who went to 
the event, by way of BSU, 
received free artwork. Many 
students also bought artwork 
as well as networking with 
other young adults who were 
at this Expo. 

Smith explained how it was a 



good networking experience 
for participants because it is 
likely that their paths will 
cross again, most probably in 
the world after college. 

"I have never been to 
Philadelphia before and this 
experience was a way that 
many African Americans from 
around the U.S. promoted their 
artwork and books," said 
Audra Turner, a psychology 
major and a B.S.U. member. 

Crawley said the mission of 
B.S.U. is to promote diversity 
and be a supportive means for 
African American students 
since there are so few. 

According to the university's 
fact book, approximately 300 
African Americans attend 
Clarion compared to 5,000 
Caucasian students. 

Crawley and the other mem- 
bers of the BSU executive 
board aret promoting aware- 
ness that these things are out

there and it is up to students to 
recognize them or only accept 
what is seen on television. 

"We want to enlighten stu- 
dents to experiences, similar to 
the art Expo, that opens all 
people to African Americans 
leadership roles, which is 
something that we do not see 
in the media and here at 
Clarion too often," said 
Crawley. 

Crawley said that they would 
like to get away from the 
stereotypes that African 
Americans are usually catego- 
rized as. 



BSU is planning to bring in a 
comedian for the spring 
semester as well as having 
Black Arts week and a Cabaret 
for their final event of the 
year. But Crawley explains 
that he would like a trip to a 
different place to occur at least 
once a semester. 

A potential trip is to New 
York to go to different record- 
ing studios and areas around 
Renaissance Harlem to many 
historical locations such as the 
Apollo Theater. 

The Black Student Union 
meets each Wednesday at 7 
p.m. 

All students are welcome, 
not only African Americans, .to 
provide feedback for other 
events they would like to see 
happen. 

BSU is open to ideas from 
students and hopes to hear 
ideas for possible programs 
and speakers.

CUP students join AmeriCorp in work study program 



Submitted story 



Eight CUP students are tak- 
ing the step into learning. 

In conduction with 
AmeriCorp and the CUP 
Work-Study Program have 
cooperatively piloted an 
instructional support team at 
Clarion-Limestone High 

School this school year. 

The Clarion-Limestone 
District has designed various 
programs and interventions to 
help students who may have 
difficulty in mastering acade- 
mic standards. 

One of these programs is the 
A.S.A.P mentoring/tutoring 
program. 

A.S.A.P stands for Assure 
Student Academic 

Proficiency. The A.S.A.P 
Program identifies individual 
students achieving less than 
proficient standards of his or 
her grade level and responds 



with individual tutoring and 
mentoring to promote acade- 
mic success. 

The A.S.A.P Program begins 
when a student exhibits acad- 
emic dificulty, therefore low- 
ering performance of their 
academic standards. A teacher 
referral is then made. 

The teacher telephones the 
parent and refers the student 
to the Guidance Department 
for A.S.A.P tutoring. 

The tutoring takes place 
during the student's scheduled 
study hall period. 

If a student is referred and 
doesn't have a study hall dur- 
ing the designated school 
hours then the tutoring takes 
place after school. 

Currently there are more 
than 100 students enrolled in 
the A.S.A.P program at 
Clarion-Limestone High 

School. 

The students enrolled exer- 
cising study skills, time man-

time I realized he

EDITORIAL, SCOTT KANE 



"Give Thanks" 



My parent's recently told me 
they had to take my grandfather 
to the hospital. I did not know 
what to do or what to think. 

My grandfather is getting older, 
and trips to the hospital have not 
been too uncommon. But I would 
have never imagined what I found 
out the next morning. 

I got up and was getting ready 
for work, when I saw the answer- 
ing machine flashing. On it was a 
message from my dad saying my 
grandfather had had a minor heart 
attack, and my dad would keep 
me informed about the details. 

It was at this moment that I real- 
ized two important concepts to 
which I believe most college stu- 
dents can relate. 

One, at times like this, it sucks 
to be away from home. Two, we 



don't always appreciate our loved 
ones as much as we should. 

I went home to see my grandfa- 
ther who had aged 10 years in the 
few weeks since the last time I 
had seen him. 

We found out he had a lot of 
small heart attacks, and his oxy- 
gen absorption rate was down, in 
addition to one of his arteries 
being completely blocked. 

It was nice to see him, but at the 
same time very sad in that I real- 
ized he will not be with me forev- 
er. 

A friend told me this past week 
"it gets much harder when you 
get older." How right he is. 

When we are younger we see 
our loved ones much more, 
because you either live with them 
or around them. Children also 



Opinion 



don't lead such busy lives. When 
a person is a young adult, they 
have a better understanding of 
death. 

I know this has taken a bigger 
toll on me than when my first 
grandfather died when I was only 
10. I also have realized I have not 
spent the time I should have with 
my grandfather. There have been 
times I have blown off family 
functions to spend time with my 
friends, and now I have a deep 
sense of regret. 

Through all this my grandfather 
made it clear that all of us kids 
were to keep going on with our 
daily schedule, and we're to keep 
up with our schedules so we fin- 
ish the semester strong. 

While I totally understand what 
he is saying, it is also very hard 
because I don't know what will 
happen between now and 
Thanksgiving. 

I am not saying going away to 
college is bad because I believe it 
is one of the most important and 
challenging decisions I have ever 
made. However, the real chal- 
lenge lies in being away from 
one's family. 

As the Thanksgiving season is 
fast approaching, I just want to 
remind everyone to think of your 
loved ones on a regular basis and 
to give them a call whenever you 
can because they will always be 
there for you.

FREE PRESS, JUSTIN KAUFFMAN 

"Sidewalk Etiquette" 

many of these situations and 
have often just walked in the 
grass to get to class on time. 

I really haven't cared too 
much about the arrogant side- 
walk abusers walking the other 
way. This changed last week 
when I was confronted on a 



If you haven't noticed during 
your time in Clarion, the side- 
walks are only so wide. I say 
only so wide, because I don't 
think some students realize how 
wide they are when they are 
walking on them. 

Think about it this way, how 
many times have you walked to sidewalk outside Gemmell by a 



class alone and been confronted 
with the dreaded couple or 
threesome coming your way? 

It is humorous because both 
you and the group will look at 
each other at the same time and 
a message is exchanged. This 
message: "we're bigger than 
you." Naturally the loner gets 
pushed to the side of the side- 
walk, and in extreme cases off 
the sidewalk altogether.

group of three large individuals. 

For some reason I wasn't in 
the best of moods and decided I 
was not moving today. As you 
could imagine, I walked right 
into the middle of one of them. 

He was less than happy, and 
I just laughed and walked on 
my way, all along fearing for 
my life because the one I 
walked into was shouting obs- 
centies at me down the street. I 
I, myself, have encountered was sure at any moment I would 

be pummeled. 

Rather than let this incident go 
I believe it is time to stand up 
for everyone who has been 
pushed off a sidewalk by a cou- 
ple or group. 

I am proposing some ideas 
when it comes to sidewalk use. 

1. When walking on a sidewalk, 
treat it as if you were driving a 
car. Walk on your own side of 
the road, the right side. If pass- 
ing do so in a timely manner 
and don't block those coming in 
the opposite direction. 

2. If you are part of a couple or 
a group, be courteous to others. 
Do not walk side by side when 
others are trying to use the same 
sidewalk as you are. If someone 
is coming, politely let them 
pass on the sidewalk rather than 
forcing them into the grass. 

3. Finally, use common sense. 
Don't become the sidewalk 
tyrant I and others have wit- 
nessed as of late. Do unto others 
as you would have done upon 
yourself.

ronmental geoscience major.

Letters to the Editor 



Emerick believes credit is due 



Dear Editor: 

Orchids and thanks to U* Caff and Editor 
Amy Thompson, who has been a staff 
writer for The Clarion News. 

Despite space difficulties TU Caff man- 
aged to publish two lengthy letters on the 
university's foreign affairs forum. Both 
letters were effective and necessary 
responses to Mr. Gerow's criticism of the 
forum published in an earlier letter. 

In addition, the participating faculty 
members commended students, faculty, 
retirees and community members for the 
forum's success. 



It should go without saying that the 
seven or eight faculty organizers and 
active producers of the forum were a 
credit to their departments and the univer- 
sity for expanding necessary debate. 

My letter, entitled "No cause for war," 
also noted the numerous views and rea- 
sons for opposing a fourth Bush war in 
six years. It was in sharp contrast to the 
corporate media which strongly empha- 
sizes the hell-bent Bush-Cheney- 
Rumsfeld push for war against Iraq and 
its citizens. 

Little or no opposing views appear or 



are heard and none of the extensive 
domestic and world-wide protests are 
noted or covered. 

I choose not to put too fine a point on it, 
but TU Caff made six distinctive errors in 
the printed copy of my letter. Words were 
deleted, added or misspelled beyond a 
correct understanding. Understanding and 
credibility of writers and their views is 

undermined in such cases. I trust TU Caff 
can and will do better in that respect. 

Thanks again, 
Kenneth F. Emerick

WCUC-FM apologizes 



Dear Editor, 

The station policy at WCUC-FM 
does not allow students to use 
public airways for their personal 
use. 

Unfortunately, recently there 
was violation of that policy of 
which the executive board and 
WCUC-FM station adviser are 
fully aware. 

Given the nature of a learning 
laboratory, errors will occur, but it 
is our intent that errors be mini- 



mized, and we ensure that strict 
policy at the station is followed. 

We regret that this situation 
occurred and have taken quick, 
responsive steps in dealing with 
the incident as well as educating 
all members of WCUC-FM about 
our public responsibility. 

Sincerely,

Student upset by recent zoning board decision 



Dear Editor, 

I read with sadness and anger 
an article in the OH City 
Derrick by Heather Leskanic, 
reporting the decision by the 
Clarion Borough zoning board 
to "deny a request for a vari- 
ance" that would have allowed 
four individuals with develop- 
mental disabilities to live in a 
residence on Riverview Avenue 
in the borough. 

The Oct. 16, 2002, page-one 
article, entitled "Zoning board 
handles controversial issues," 
said the executive director for 
Choice Enterprises, Shelly 
Forest, "asked the board to grant 
the variance to allow four unre- 
lated individuals to live at the 
single-family house." 

According to the article, a 
petition opposing the move was 
signed by 124 residents in the 
"residential district." The article 
cited objections that included 
"decreases in property values 
and an overall desire to keep the 
neighborhood as it is." 

According to Forest, the home 
would have included four people 
who are "severely retarded and 
living as a family." Forest is 



quoted as saying, "They really 
function as a family.. .These 
folks don't have [a] family as we 
know it." According to the arti- 
cle, "Board members said they 
took into consideration the posi- 
tion of the residents in reaching 
their decision." 

It is clear that the three-mem- 
ber zoning board did not take 
into consideration the position 
of the four people who wanted a 
home in which to live. 

These citizens were outnum- 
bered 124 to four. The zoning 
committee, appointed by the 
county commissioners, used 
their powerful positions to dis- 
criminate against four individu- 
als who they knew couldn't fight

Invitation to be part of Clarion 
University's Relay for Life 



Dear Editor, 

On April 11 and 12, Clarion 
University students will gather in 
the University Rec. Center for 
fun, games, food and prizes to 
help raise money for the fight 
against cancer. 

Every year thousands of commu- 
nities across the country come 
together to celebrate the American 
Cancer Society Relay For Life, 
the 24-hour team event to help 
fight cancer. 

This year, we are bringing the 
relay to the Clarion University 
campus, so university students 
can participate in this fun and 
exciting event. However, we can't 
do it alone. 

In order for Relay For Life to be 
the success we know it will be, we 
need your help. 

We are asking the members of 
your organization to consider cre- 
ating a team to take part in our 
event. It's a great opportunity to 
have fun and make a difference, at 
the same time. 
Monday Nov. 25. 2002 we will 



be holding a relay kick-off party 
in the Gemmell Multi-Purpose 
room, starting at 6 p.m. Relay 
Kick-Off is for anyone who might 
be interested in taking part in 
Relay For Life, in any capacity, to 
learn more about the event. 

We will be having food, door 
prizes and also giving you infor- 
mation on Relay For Life and how 
to get involved. 

Attending kick-off is not a com- 
mitment, but merely a way for 
you to learn what Relay For Life 
is all about. 

We hope to see you on Nov. 25. 
It promises to be a good time for 
all. 

Thank you for taking the time to 
read and consider our invitation to 
participate in the American 
Cancer Society Relay For Life. 

There is no finish line until we 
find a cure. 

Sincerely, 

Amanda Shontz and 

Amy Reddinger

this upsets me. It is reminiscent 
of the problems that African- 
Americans had even after laws 
had been made to protect their 
rights to equal housing: mem- 
bers of all-white neighborhoods 
found ways to preserve their 
"overall desire to keep the 
neighborhood as it is." 

It wasn't terribly hard to ask an 
outlandish price for the sale or 
rent of a home whenever 
approached by persons of color, 
and then to reduce the orice for 
more "desirable" Caucasians. In 
Clarion Pennsylvania, "not in 
my neighborhood" is apparently 
an acceptable publicly stated 
position. 

Of course, those opposed to 
these four citizens moving into 
this home as a family are insist- 
ing that since the four are not 
related, the residence would 
become a "group home," which 
is against the zoning regulations. 
It is disgustingly clear, however, 
that this is not really about the 
relationship of the four "family 
members." It is about the fact 
that they are mentally retarded. 

The Pennsylvania State 
Assembly addressed this issue 
by adopting Senate Resolution 
42, which reads, in part, as fol- 
lows: 

"It is public policy in 
Pennsylvania that people who 
are developmentally disabled, 
mentally retarded, mentally ill, 
physically disabled, elderly, and 
children shall enjoy the benefits 
of community residential sur- 
roundings; and" It is primarily 
the responsibility of municipali- 
ties through their zoning powers 
to permit the establishment of 
small, community residential 
facilities in all residential 
zones..." [S.R.42, 1985 Leg. J. 
1326 (1985), 1986 Leg. J. House 
94 (1986)]. 

The state could not have made 
it much clearer than that. 

Petition-signers noted concern 
about property values. Why 
would property values go down 



just because these four citizens 
were joining the neighborhood? 
Are they so much less valued 
that their very presence would 
denigrate the neighborhood? 

In the book, No Pity, Joseph P. 
Shapiro states, "Neighborhood 
resistance has remained strong 
to group homes, despite numer- 
ous studies disproving myths 
that such facilities mean high 
crime rates and lowered proper- 
ty values." 

We're talking about four peo- 
ple who are mentally retarded 
here-how much harm could they 
do? How many residential prop- 
erties are there in Clarion where 
four-or eight-or ten-loud, drink- 
ing, puking, partying students 
share a residence? Why are they 
not "zoned" out of the neighbor- 
hood? 

It appears that the decision by 
the appointed zoning board 
needs to be over-ridden by a 
non-elected official a judge. A 
scenario very similar to this one 
recently took place in Butler 
county. United Cerebral Palsy 
bought a home and tried to move 
four of its clients into it as a 
"family," providing a live-in 
supervisor. 

People in Center Township, 
Butler County, asked the zoning 
board to rule that it constituted a 
group home, and was thus not 
permitted. United Cerebral 
Palsy, which has succeeded with 
about a half-dozen such homes 
in Butler County, sued the zon- 
ing board. They argued discrim- 
ination under the Fair Housing 
Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 
1973, the Americans with 
Disabilities Act, and the Equal 
Protection Clause of the 
Fourteenth Amendment (U.S. 
Constitution). 

The zoning board, faced with a 
lawsuit that made a compelling 
case, backed down and granted a 
variance. 

I hope that Choice Enterprises 
decides to sue for the rights of 
these four citizens to share a 
home in this family dwelling. 
Four individuals living in a 
house as a family does not con- 
stitute a "group home." 

I would refer Choice 
Enterprise's executive director 
to the complaint filed by UCP 
and four individuals with dis- 
abilities, filed under Civil 
Action No. 00-1936 in the U.S. 
District Court for the Western 



District of Pennsylvania. 

Basic rights are what's at stake 
here. Shapiro comments in his 
book, No Pity, as follows: 

"Slavery, notes one history 
textbook, 'robbed the Negro of 
his manhood, encouraged infan- 
tile and irresponsible behavior, 
and put a premium on docility. 
In short, slavery deprived a 
whole race of the opportunity to 
develop its potentialities and of 
the freedom that white men trea- 
sured so highly.' 

So too has institutionalization 
regarded adults with disabilities 
as children, placing them in 
wards. ..removing their basic 
rights to choice, opportunity, 
and claim to community." 

The 124 Clarion residents who 
signed the petition to keep these 
four individuals who are retard- 
ed out of their neighborhood 
would probably just as soon 
have them living in the kind of 
institution noted above. One 
might expect that in a small city 
whose population is made up of 
many so-called "educated" uni- 
versity-affiliated citizens, preju- 
dice such as this would be a 
thing of the past. Sadly, it is not. 
Obviously the four citizens 
who are mentally retarded can- 
not defend their own rights. The 
not-so-neighborly neighbors 
who signed the petition to keep 
them out are banking on their 
docility. But these citizens do 
have a "basic right to choice, 
opportunity, and claim to com- 
munity." 

These four citizens have the 
right to live in the community of 
their choosing. As Shapiro puts 
it, "[Disabled individuals are] 
deserving, like everyone else, of 
the same right to full participa- 
tion in society." I hope Ms. 
Forest and others step up to 
defend their rights. 

I think the 124 Clarion resi- 
dents (and three zoning commit- 
tee members) who don't want 
people who are retarded living 
in their neighborhood should 
quit postponing the inevitable 
and just "learn how to deal" with 
these four citizens. 

Who knows-they might just 
learn something.

board: Shame on you.

Rearview Mirror 



by Matthew T. May 
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor 

Rearview Mirror knew before 
playing the UAB concert on 
Tuesday evening that nearly no one 
in the audience would know who 
they were when they took the stage. 

In fact, they were in Clarion for 
several days before the concert and 
not a single person stopped any of 
members and begged for auto- 
graphs. As the four band members 
walked around campus, most peo- 
ple probably just thought they were 
college students. 

The alternative rock band didn't 
come to Clarion in a private jet or in 
an oversized tour bus. They drove 
to Clarion in a van with a smashed- 
in driver's side door that can't even 
be opened (they all enter and exit 
from the passenger side), and all 
four stayed in a single low-budget 
hotel room. 

When the members of Rearview 
Mirror say, "It's about the music," 
the statement can't be taken as the 
cliche that platinum record selling 
artists have turned it into. It has to 
be about the music for them 
because it can't be about the money 
or even the respect. 

"We are a really hard working 
band at this point," said the scruffy, 
charismatic drummer Andy 



Blessing. "All we do is play music 
and write music." 

Andy isn't even mentioned in the 
press kit from Rearview Mirror's 
publicist or on their website that 
was set up by their record company. 
Both these sources still have former 
drummer, T.J. Kammer, listed. 

Straight-talking, blonde-haired 
bass player Jason Ptacek said they 
have told their record company that 
Kammer is no longer their drum- 
mer, but no changes have been 
made. 

Rearview Mirror released their 
first LP, "All Lights Off," in June 
with little fanfare. 

The album was much harder to 
create than the band originally 
thought. In January, they had 12 
songs written but only a couple of 
those songs made it to the album's 
final release. 

"Pretty much all the songs that 
are on the CD now weren't written 
before we went to the studio," said 
stone-faced vocalist Adam Ptacek. 
"They were written in between 
time . . . between the sessions." 

"All Lights Off' was put togeth- 
er by the band taking four or five 
songs to the producer, the producer 
telling them which ones he liked 
and disliked, and then the band 
going home and writing four or 
fiver more songs. This process con- 



tinued until enough approved songs 
were created to fill an album. 

Rearview Mirror was often 
extremely frustrated by the method 
but continued until their album was 
finished. 

Instead of being sold as just a 
hardworking band that writes and 
plays all its own music, their record 
company has tried to shove the 
band into the public light under the 
connotation that they are the young 
Iowan band that Steve Lillywhite 
plucked out of obscurity. 

Steve Lillywhite has produced for 
extremely well-known bands such 
as the Rolling Stones, Dave 
Matthews Band, and Phish. 
Rearview Mirror was the first band 
he signed to his own label called 
Gobstopper. 

Rearview Mirror said they appre- 
ciated his help with producing their 
album. 

"I think his [Lillywhite 's] helping 
helps us now write better songs," 
said Jason. "It helped our confi- 
dence in each of our parts." 

However, the band hasn't had 
much connection with Lillywhite 
since producing the album. While 
the famed producer has been off 
pursuing other projects, Rearview 
Mirror has continued doing what 
they have always done: write songs 
and play at nearly every venue that

"The Tools of Code-Switching" informs and entertains students 



by Amanda Cackowski 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



The interactive lecture, "The Tools of Code Switching," 
was held at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 18 in Gemmell 
Multipurpose Room. The Leadership Institute, Men of Color 
Think Tank, the Office of Minority Student Services and 
Women United sponsored the event. 

The guest speaker at the lecture, Brian Johnson, hails from 
Susquehanna, Pa. and is employed as the director of 
Multicultural Affairs at Susquehanna University. 

Along with his obligations there, Johnson travels across the 
state speaking to a variety of crowds on a number of differ- 
ent issues. While he primarily presents at college campuses, 
he has also appeared at conferences, functions at churches, 
and various social agencies. 

Although Johnson speaks on an assortment of issues rang- 



ing from child and family issues to language acquisition, his 
main focus and topics revolve around the pertinent issue of 
diversity. Johnson revealed that his major purpose in speak- 
ing with people is to grant them the tools to access equity, or 
what he likes to refer to as "life nuggets." 

Overall, Johnson's main goal is to have students, adults, 
children, anyone, learn from one another. 

This upbeat and engaging speaker began the evening by 
addressing the seating situation in the Gemmell Multi- 
purpose Room. Much to Johnson's dismay, the audience had 
unknowingly segregated them based upon race. 

Immediately he made people move from one side of the 
room to the other. After the shuffling of feet, Johnson intro- 
duced himself and immediately began an activity to engage 
the crowd about 35 people. 

Johnson separated the crowd into groups of three and wrote 
an unknown word "GHITI" onto a white board in the front of 



the room. Each group was assigned the task of defining the 
word and, if need be, using it in a sentence. 

Each group discussed and came up with differing conclu- 
sions from the assignment. It was then revealed that this word 
was in fact the word fish. 

Not only was this activity relevant to beginning his lecture 
on language acquisition, but it also involved the audience 
from early on. This technique proved to be successful 
throughout the remainder of the discussion in that audience 
members were not afraid to participate and discuss topics 
with the speaker and other audience members. 

Johnson then led an interactive program that analyzed 
numerous socio-perceptions related to slang, "standard 
English," and how different areas, cultures, social classes, 
and races use them.

Carolyn and Carissa Movie Review

"Harry Potter" still magical in the theaters 



by Carolyn Kelley and Carissa Rosati 
Clarion Cajl Staff Writers 

Carissa tells about the magic that hap- 
pened at the box office last weekend . . . 

Warner Brothers released "Harry Potter and the Chamber 
of Secrets" this past weekend. 

It is the second movie in the Harry Potter series directed by 
Chris Columbus. "Chamber" boomed at the box office, pass- 
ing up "8 Mile" for the number one spot, and earning almost 
as much money as the first movie "Harry Potter and the 
Sorcerer's Stone," which was released last November. 

Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) has had a bad summer at 
the Dursley's (his aunt and uncle's house). The Dursley's 
treat him like a prisoner, and none of his friends have written 
back to him all summer. 

While his uncle is expecting an important houseguest, 
Potter is supposed to not make a sound and pretend like he 
does not even exist. However, he gets an unsuspected, very 



loud visitor himself. 

Dolby (voiced by Toby Jones), the house-elf, comes to 
warn Potter that if he does return to Hogwarts School of 
Witchcraft and Wizardry, he will be in great danger. 

Dolby, apparently stole all of the letters that Harry's friends 
wrote him so that he would not want to go back to the school 
this fall and that is not the last stunt that the mischievous 
house-elf pulls to try to keep Potter away for his own good. 
Potter's Uncle Dursley, enraged at Potter for not being 
quiet, bars up Harry's window so he cannot go back to 
school. But his friend Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) comes to 
his rescue in his dad's flying car. 

Now the adventure begins. Nothing seems to come easy for 
this group of friends, but this year they are a little craftier 
with their talents. 

Once back at school, the two boys meet up with their other 
best friend Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) who is the 
brains of the trio. 

Things start to get a little eerie around Hogwarts, especial- 
ly when their fellow peers start turning up as solid stone stat- 



ues. Not only that, but there are also messages and warnings 
telling them that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. 

All students who are from non-magic families (or muggles) 
beware. What does this all mean? Will the three of them fig- 
ure who the culprit is before they lose one of their beloved 
friends to the monster who is lurking about? 

In comparison, "Chamber" was definitely better than 
"Sorcerer's Stone." The first movie was the introduction, so 
of course we are just getting to know the characters. 

However, in "Chamber" you are thrown right into the 
adventure, and it's more exciting that way. The acting was 
also better this time around. 

The actors and actresses know their character's better, espe- 
cially Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, in the scene 
where she was upset about being called a half-breed (her par- 
ents are muggles). 

This movie is a must see, but I advise you to rent the first 
Harry Potter on video if you haven't seen it before viewing 
this movie. Then you will be sure to enjoy this family fanta- 
sy adventure to the fullest extent.

and of course Harry's invisible

Dumbledore (Richard Harris), 
Hagrid the Giant (Robbie 
Coltrane), and Professor 
McGonagal (Maggie Smith), all 
add to what makes the "Harry 



Potter' series terrific to have been a 
part of. 

Directed by Chris Columbus and 
based on the books by JK 
Rowlings, this latest segment of 
Harry Potter brings us a great deal 
more of adventure and terrific spe- 
cial effects. 

It is hard to say if "Chamber of 
Secrets" is a better movie than 
"The Sorcerer's Stone" because it 
takes a different path. 

The first movie was more of an 
attempt to get the audience 
acquainted with the common 



knowledge of wizardry and witch- 
craft. 

Now that we know the basics to 
Harry Potter and Hogwarts School, 
"The Chamber of Secrets" is easier 
to enjoy. 

There are a few action scenes with 
snakes and spiders that might scare 
little kids, but the movie as a whole 
was terrific and worth the long time 
length of a little over two hours. 

I'm sure I speak for the rest of us 
Harry Potter fans when I say that I 
am anxiously awaiting the next 
chapter of the young wizard's life.

Codel Speaker teaches about socio-perceptions, from Page 9. 

He began by talking about how language is different everywhere and 
different among different groups. He gave examples in reference to dif- 
ferent areas of the country and state. 

Johnson referred to this type of language as a "code." This "code" 
requires a certain level of proficiency to understand. 

Johnson then talked about communication - how humans in general 
communicate and how different groups communicate. Johnson used 
analogies involved men and women, which seemed to entertain and 
interest the audience at the same time. 

Once Johnson established and explained the ideas and background 
behind our "code," he was then able to explain the "switch." He stated 
that once a person learned the differences behind his or her speech pat- 
terns that it could be switched on and off depending on its appropriate- 
ness, time and location. 

Johnson tied all of his analogies together by demonstrating how lan- 
guage clues those who surround us into our level of power. People's per- 
ceptions can vary on the type of language that is used. 

An example that illustrated this point was that of an answering 
machine. Johnson had us imagine ourselves being reached by an 
employer and that employer reaching us by answering machine. 

College students tend to leave funny or outlandish outgoing messages 
that can sometimes give off a certain perception to those who are call- 
ing. Johnson insisted that we must always be cognizant of ideas and 
images that we could be portraying through our language. 

At the conclusion of his presentation, Johnson offered a suggestion and 
somewhat of an exercise for each of the audience members to do in 
order to realize how his or her language acquisition affects the percep- 
tion of the individual. 

He encouraged everyone to tape himself or herself talking and then 
examine and become aware of enunciation, pitch, tone, pace, emotion, 
accent and to also become critical of the vocabulary that everyone is

how others perceive our language use. 

While the topic of socio-perceptions of language use may seem like a 
boring topic, this speaker proved that he could entertain as well as 
inform Clarion University students on an important aspect of social 
equity. 



Music Review 

Nick Carter knows it's "Now or Never" 



by Anne Golden 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Nick Carter's solo debut "Now or 
Never" is a release that may sur- 
prise his fans with its rock/pop 
edge. 

As if you did not know, Nick 
Carter is a member of the boy 
band, Backstreet Boys. Don't 
expect this first try at a solo career 
to be a carbon copy of the 
Backstreet Boys' trademark 
sound. Nick can rock beyond his 
years, yet stays tame enough for 
even the youngest listeners. 

Nick was smart with this album. 
He made an album that leaves him 
able to fit right back into his 
Backstreet Boys' shoes if he wants 
to, but Nick seems better off alone. 
Nick's combinations of rock 
instruments combined with pop 
harmonies are reminiscent of 
BBMak (who actually pull it off 
better), but Nick uses more elec- 
tric guitars, harder chords, and 
stronger lyrics. This style of music 
suits Nick much better than the 
Backstreet Boys' pop -- his voice 
never seemed to fit into the strong 
ballads and this style of music lets 
Nick's not-so-perfect voice 
breathe.

Nick's first release, "Help Me," 
opens the album. This was a per- 
fect first radio single pick for 
Nick. The catchy chorus is almost 
impossible to not sing when it 
comes on. 

Nick was obviously influenced 
by Bryan Adams and Bon Jovi. At 
times, Nick sounds just like Bryan 
Adams, lyric-wise and instrument- 
wise. The song, "Do I Have to Cry 
for You," sounds like Bryan wrote 
it himself, almost to the identical 
pianos of "Everything I Do (I Do 
It for You)." This is Nick's next 
release and should go over well on 
AC radio. It is a strong ballad with 
touching lyrics. Another Bryan- 
like song is "Heart Without A 
Home (I'll Be Yours)." 

Bon Jovi's influence shows more 
on the fast songs like "Miss 
America" and "Help Me." 

"Girls In The USA" has the 
"hey's" that sound like Def 
Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On 
Me." In this song, Nick sings 
about all the different girls he is 
going to love in America. Nick 
sounds a little cocky on this track, 
but Mr. Vegas adds a little Baja 
Men pop to the beginning of the 
track. This song is fun to listen to. 
Try to see if he says anything 
about Pennsylvania girls in the 
song. 

Nick has a lot of radio ready 
songs on this CD like, "I Got 
You," "My Confession," and "I 
Stand For You." 

One skippable song on the CD is 
"Is It Saturday Yet?" which almost 
sounds as if his brother Aaron 
rejected it for his CD. His brother, 
Aaron Carter has made a career 
for being a mini-Nick and even his 



sister, Leslie, is attempting to 
release a CD in the future. The 
Carters really are keeping it all in 
the family. 

"Blow Your Mind" is one of the 
harder tracks on the album, and 
almost sounds like Nick wants to 
be a member of Orgy, but Nick 
pulls it off and makes a good song 
that has interesting lyrics about 
being a rock star. 

One of the best songs on the 
album is "Who Needs the World," 
which is simplistic in the acoustic 
guitar and the sweet lyrics of 
"Who needs the world when I got 
you?" Nick's voice sounds great 
on this track, even hitting hard to 
reach high notes that would make 
the rest of the Backstreet Boys 
proud. 

Nick co-wrote only five of the 
twelve songs on the CD, which is 
a little disappointing considering 
he is going up against tough com- 
petition like Justin Timberlake 
(another solo attempt) and 
Christina Aguilera, who both 
wrote almost their entire albums. 
Nick, however, did pick the right 
type of songs to sing. 

Don't expect a lyric book to be 
included. Nick pulls a Backstreet 
Boys' trick of only printing the 
lyrics to the most-likely radio 
releases, which is a little frustrat- 
ing ("Girls in the USA") but more 
than what Justin Timberlake 
included. 

If Nick keeps it up, he could 
have a good solo career in adult 
contemporary rock/pop. 

On Nick's next album he should 
really write more songs himself 
and distinguish himself more as a 
solo artist.

Red Cross workers speak about tragedy 



by Beth LeVier-Pentz 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Three American Red Cross workers came to speak 
about the 9/11 terrorist attacks at 4:30 p.m. on 
Wednesday, Nov. 13 in 250 Gemmell. The Psychology 
Club sponsored the event, and there wasn't a vacant 
seat in the room. 

The three women that came to share their experi- 
ences are from the Clarion area. Judy Gardner, Linda 
Trojak and Stephanie Marlow are on the Disaster 
Reaction team in Clarion County. 

They came in their Red Cross aprons and brought 
with them memorabilia for the tragedy and displayed 
it on a table in the front of the room for audience 
members to see. 

Judy Gardner spoke first. She went to New York 
City three months after 9/11. 

Gardner said, "It was an evil event. That's the only 
way I can describe it." 

She said being at the site is much more devastating 
than seeing it on television. Gardner was stationed as 
a counselor at a boarding school in New York City 
where she helped children cope with the tragedy their 
city encountered. 

She explained that the Red Cross offers five ser- 
vices: disaster help, disaster and mental help, mass 
care, family well being and family service techni- 
cians. 

Gardner is a caseworker. She said the Red Cross 
offers mental health counseling and everyone offered 
counseling in New York City took it. 

Gardner said the most memorable story she has of 
her experience is of a young girl who was extremely 
upset because she couldn't get the dust and concrete 
out of her hair. This young girl was convinced the rea- 
son for this was she had dead people ashes mixed in 



with the concrete and that was why it wouldn't come 
clean. 

Linda Trojak spoke next. She was in New York City 
from Oct. 6 - 27, 2002. 

Trojak said, "It was an experience I will never for- 
get, it was definately the experience of a lifetime." 

Trojak was stationed in Queens, New York where 
she stayed at an old airport that was turned into a 
kitchen facility. The South Baptist Convention Church 
served and cooked the food. 

Trojak said she only had one day off in three weeks 
there. She worked long hours from 7 p.m. -7 a.m. The 
meals were for any people who in some way were 
affected by the tragedy. 

Trojak said, "My heart went out to these people. We 
all were affected someway by this disaster." 

Trojak was transferred to New Jersey where she 
worked in a warehouse. She said a lot of people came 
in with what they called "New York Syndrome," 
which is breathing problems due to the smoke and 
dust that was spread throughout the city. 

When Trojak isn't spending her time with the Red 
Cross she is a schoolteacher for the mentally handi- 
capped and an EMT. Because of this, the statistic that 
bothered her most was that 10,000 children lost one or 
both parents in the tragedy. 

The story that stuck out to Trojak most during her 
time there was when rescue workers, for some reason, 
were always finding hands not whole bodies. She said 
one worker was depressed and needed her counsel. 

He told her he found a woman's hand today and it 
was gripping something inside of it and he opened it 
to see if what it was could help identify her, and inside 
her hand was the hand of a small child. 

Trojak said she was very disturbed by this and that 
she always considered herself patriotic before 9/1 1 but 
now she lives and breaths red, white and blue. 



She challenged the audience by saying, "Do all you 
can to help your community." 

Last to speak was Stephanie Marlow, a nurse for a 
metal health facility. She went to New York City two 
times. She worked right off of ground zero, only 2.000 
feet away from the pile. 

Marlow said she saw 45 to 50 workers a shift. They 
washed the workers eyes and got them something to 
eat and gave them counseling. 

Marlow said, "The thing you can do best for your 
community is give back to your community through 
volunteering." 

She said 180,000 people from 9/11 to mid-February 
were seen by mental health workers and were set up 
with therapy sessions. 

"The stress was so bad there the men would grind 
off thier teeth in their sleep" according to Marlow. 

The story that stayed with Marlow was of an 80- 
year-old woman with the "New York Syndrome'" who 
was devastated because she believed she had ashes in 
her lungs from the dead people's bodies. 

Marlow said some workers were so dedicated they 
wouldn't stop and take a break so the Red Cross work- 
ers had to go to them at the pile. 

Marlow works for a program called Outreach. She 
was sent on a second trip in January to work with fam- 
ilies that had on-going medical issues. Marlow has 
family in New York City, and she has grown up going 
to the city every other weekend. 

She said her initial reaction was anger. And then 
when she saw "The Tub," which is what they call the 
hole in the ground, on her second trip she was filled 
with sadness. 

The Red Cross has set aside $40 million for mental 
health sessions and medications for anyone still suf- 
fering from 9/11. Over 75,000 children need counsel- 
ing, so they have set up a five-year project. 



Club Review 



The Ataris give a sold-out performance at Club Laga 



by Jeannette Good 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

With opening bands Rufio, 
Autopilot Off and Sugarcult, 
The Ataris gave a sold-out per- 
formance at Club Laga in 
Oakland in the Pittsburgh area 
on Thursday, Nov. 14. After 
seeing The Ataris two previous 
times, once at Club Laga and 
the other at the Warped Tour, 
this show just didn't live up to 
the usual expectations for 
them. 

The newly radio played band 
Sugarcult performed right 
before The Ataris, including 
released singles "Pretty Girl," 
"Stuck in America" and 
"Bouncing Off the Walls." 
Sugarcult joked about artist 
Avril Livigne and her song 
"Complicated." 

They also continuously 
stopped playing to try to tame 



the crowd. Obviously, the new 
generations of punk rock/emo 
show goers lack the common 
knowledge and courtesies 
found in the pit. People don't 
understand to quickly pick up 
people who fall, not to inten- 
tionally hurt people and the 
fundamentals of crowd surf- 
ing. 

"Fat girls shouldn't crowd 
surf!" some tiny girl in front of 
the stage shouted during a 
pause in between songs. 

Kris Roe, lead vocals and 
guitar, from The Ataris com- 
mented, "It's okay. We got 
your back. Not!" because he 
explained that she would prob- 
ably be a target after the show. 
During the approximate one 
hour set, The Ataris managed 
to cram in many popular 
songs. They opened with 
"Your Boyfriend Sucks," 
entering the stage during the 



movie clip from "A Bronx 
Tale," and red and yellow con- 
fetti soon fell. 

They tossed in a few songs 
from their new album due out 
in Feb. 2003. Other songs 
included those from albums 
"End is Forever" and "Blue 
Skies, Broken Hearts. ..Next 12 
Exits." However, they left out 
usual favorites like "The 
Radio Still Sucks." 

After experiencing technical 
difficulties with guitars and a 
broken light, The Ataris ended 
with the ever popular "San 
Dimas High School Football 
Rules," title taken from a 
quote in "Bill and Ted's 
Excellent Adventure," allow- 
ing an audience member to 
participate by playing rhythm 
guitar and a large crowd of 
people to dance on stage. 

Maybe because The Ataris 
are one of my favorite bands, I 



held higher expectations for 
seeing them live. I remember 
better performances at Laga 
and one on the main stage of 
Warped Tour 2001, but this 
show felt less intimate in the 
crowd and less underground. 

Even with their old songs 
about girls and relationships 
and their new songs about girls 
and relationships, this show 
proved that The Ataris are los- 
ing their musical touch and 
punk/emo background after 
signing to Columbia Records 
and ending their contract with 
Kung Fu Records. 

According to "The Radio 
Still Sucks" by The Ataris, 
"Every now and then /I turn it 
on again/But it's plain to see 
that/The radio still sucks," and 
I will personally be very dis- 
appointed to hear The Ataris 
on the radio and know they 
officially sold out.

Horoscopes 

Today's tjirthday (JSJov. 20) you could be quite successful 
in business this year, especially managing other people's money. 9t 
isn't always easy, however. 9t's going to take concentration, and 
you're going to have to work out a plan. Minimize surprises by doing 
the homework. Speaking of homework, fixing up your place is a good 
idea. too. 

To get the advantage, check the day's rating: W is the easiest 
day, the most challenging. 

Aries (March 21- April 19) - Today is a 7- you're success- 
ful, in part because you're quick. Also because you're smart. When 
time is short, you do only what's necessary. Practice now so you'll 
know what that is. 

Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today isa6- Any chance to 
get more money coming in? you bet there is! 9t's not by taking a risk, 
either. 9t comes from your willingness to do more of something you 
do very well. 

gemini (May 21 -June 21) - Today is an 8 - They're finally 
asking for your opinion. Don't tell all you know. Refer them to an 
expert _ one who agrees with you, of course. That'll make you look 
even smarter. 

Cancer (June 22- July 22) - Today is a 6 - you've got a list 
of things to do, but do you have a plan? Now is a great time to draw 
one up. Cist the tasks, and figure out when you'll work on each of 
them, you'll end up with more time. 

Ceo (July 23- Aug. 22) - Today is a?- 9t's much easier to 
get your point across when you have a receptive audience. Lines that 
got groans earlier this week will bring rounds of applause. Try again. 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7- An important 
person seems to be relying on you more and more. There's a reason 
for that. 9t's your common sense. As you know, it's actually not all 
that common. Understand that you're valuable even if it isn't men- 
tioned. 

Cibra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) - Today is an 8- A person from 
far away can provide the perfect solution, ijou can't figure everything 
out, nor should you. Qet an experienced person's advice. 

Scorpio (Oct. 23-JVov. 21) - Today is a 6- you're good at 
managing money, but sometimes you forget. Don't let it slip through 
your fingers. Save more by trying a different method or product. 

Sagittarius (/Qov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 7- your study, 
practice and research will pay off soon. Don't lose your enthusiasm. 
Polish your act. you'll be brilliant tomorrow. 

Capricorn (Dec. 22- Jan. 19) - Today is a 7- you'll get 
more done in the next few days than you have in the previous week. 
Set goals, concentrate and plow through, your efforts should be prof- 
itable.

Men 's Basketball Preview 



A young Golden Eagle team prepares for the challenges that lie ahead 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

They're back and their ready to go. 
Who? The 2002-03 edition of the Clarion 
University Men's basketball team. 

It is a new season with many changes; 
the faces, the style, and even a new look 
on the court. 

Under 15th year Head Coach, Dr Ron 
Righter, the Golden Eagles will open up 
their season with the traditional 
KFC/Subway Classic this coming week- 
end in Tippin Gymnasium. 

Clarion finished 15-11 overall last sea- 
son with a 7-5 record in the PSAC. 

The team has been practicing day in and 
day out working to form as a single unit. 
With six freshmen on the roster that will 
be a main focus. 

Half of the roster is comprised of fresh- 
men players which charcterizes this team 
as young, however, there is a great sense 
of enthusiasm and anticipation to see 
what they can do. 

Clarion lost four valuable starters last 
season. David Shearer, Steve Serwatka, 
Allen Stevens, and Dale Thomas com- 
bined for over 3,500 points and over 
1,500 rebounds in their careers at 
Clarion. The main question is, how will 
they be replaced? 

"You just don't replace guys like that, 
It is inevitable that losses like that will 



happen, so we just have to deal. We are 
excited though because we have some 
great new guys who are enthusiastic and 
very coachable and down the road will be 
some great players," said Assistant Coach 
Modrejewski. 

Their are five freshmen on the squad 
who are looking to make major contribu- 
tions throughout the season. 

Terrance Vaughns (Uniontown), Marko 
Joksimovic (Aliquippa), Shamar Green 
(Brooklyn, NY/Xaverian), Frank Tobert 
(Imperial/West Allegheny), and Justin 
Collins (Landsdale/North Penn) a will 
have to step up right away and fill some 
of the shoes that have been lost. 

"The freshmen are a talented group and 
one of the best freshmen classes we've 
had in recent years. However, in such a 
"junior-college" dominated conference it 
is tough to play with freshmen," added 
Modrejewski. 

The Golden Eagles also have a strong 
group of seniors on the team this year. 
Dereck Rankin (Brooklyn, NY/John Jay), 
Chris Kelley (Roselle, NJ/Abraham 
Clark), Rollie Smith (Cleveland, 
Oh./St.Joesph's) and Steve Nesmith 
(Pittsburgh/Sewickley Academy) will be 
those seniors who lead by example and 
will set a positive tone for the freshmen 
to follow. Nesmith will be eligible to play 
second semester. 




Ben Chandlee/ The Clarion Call 

The Golden Eagle basketball team has been working hard the last several 
weeks in anticipation for this weekend's season opener. 



The Golden Eagles have some of the 
same expectations and goals they do with 
every season. They would like to make 
the play-offs, but most importantly, be 
competitve and win their share of games. 
It will be an interesting, yet exciting 
season for the fans of Clarion basketball. 



There is a great deal of excitment and 
enthusism in the air and fans won't have 
to wait much longer as the season opens 
tomorrow evening against Point Park. 
The Golden Eagles will take the court at 
8 p.m. and either 3 p.m. or 7 p.m. 
Saturday evening at Tippin Gym. 



Good Luck to the Lady Eagle Volleyball team as they head to Regionals and to 
the Women's Cross Country team as they compete at Nationals this weekend!

Although we try to prevent it, 
we all do stupid things some- 
times. Participating in sports 
helps keep most of us on track 
by scheduling activities 
throughout the days, weeks, 
months and years. 

It almost seems as if all ath- 
letes could major in time man- 
agement, if such a field existed. 
Our typical day seems so jam- 
packed that most on-lookers 
wonder how we do it. 

But sometimes, in spite of our 
busy schedules, we manage to 
squeeze in those stupid antics 
that get us into trouble. 

However much our coaches 
try, they cannot guide us 24/7. 
It's in those few spare moments, 
mat we throw common sense 
out of the window, and do 
things we probably shouldn't. 

Regretfully, I happened to 
partake in such actions this past 
weekend along with a few of my 
teammates. 

Now, I'm not quite sure how 
we arrived at the ingenious 
decision to arm wrestle each 
other, but at the time, it seemed 
absolutely brilliant, Anyone 
with common sense would agree 
that overworking already 
strained muscles doesn't exactly 
pass as a wise decision, yet I 
participated anyway. 

Three days after the fact, my 
arms as well as my coaches are 
unforgiving of my antics. 

This experience in the realm 
of stupidity led me to two pre- 
dominant questions: Why do we 
willingly participate in poten- 
tially harmful antics? And how 
in the world do we manage to 
find time to do these types of 
actions and not positive ones? 

Over the years, I've noticed 
that most people follow in the 
footsteps of others. I'm sure we 
can all recall the famous, "Well, 
if so-and-so jumped off the 
bridge, would you too?" So, 
many of us participate in harm- 
ful activity because others do 
too. Conformity gives most of 
us a sense of belonging.

BETHANY BANKOVICH 



"Bethany's Bits" 

Therefore, we partake in the 
same actions as others. 

Many athletes compel them- 
selves to do senseless activity 
due to sheer competitiveness. 
For some of us, showing off our 
guns seems like a way to 
achieve status (hence the arm 
wrestling scenario). 

This competitive edge serves 
us well when used properly, but 
in other instances, this attribute 
can be extremely dangerous. 
Sometimes, this constant strug- 
gle for first place extends far 
beyond the sport and into every- 
day routines. 

Some of us turn driving to 
Wal-Mart into the Daytona 500, 
placing others and ourselves in 
harmful predicaments. 

Often times, considerably 
dangerous activities seem like 
fun to driven spirits. The media 
is partially to blame for this 
twisted image. 

We live in a world where 
extremity governs all that we 
see, and soon we find ourselves 
wanting to pursue this "life on 
the edge" existence. High-risk 
activities turn from untouchable 
to trendy with shows such as 
MTV's Jackass promoting a 
variety of dangerous stunts. 

The image of indestructibility 
diverts our common sense, and 
soon we find ourselves riding 
shopping carts into shrubbery. 

As for my second question, 
finding time to partake in seem- 
ingly fun activities ranks high 
on the priority list for m,any ath- 
letes wanting to retreat from the 
monotony of sports. 

The answer to the question, 
simply stated, is: We make time. 
We want to get our minds off of 
the routine, so we actually look 
for crazy things to do. 

Maybe next time we should 
engage in something positive, 
that will help and not harm oth- 
ers and ourselves. Like my 
father always said, "If it sounds 
like a dumb idea, it probably 
is." I suppose we should follow 
that advice from now on!

Lady Eagles have high hopes for an exciting 2002-03 season 



by Erin Witner 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 



If their is one word to describe the attitudes of the 
Lady Eagle basketball team for the start of the 2002- 
03 season, it would be "estactic" says 14th year Head 
Coach Gie Parsons. 

This year's squad, ranked third in the PSAC-West 
conference in a pre-season poll, can hardly wait to hit 
the court Friday night in the annual Clarion Classic. 
They have been working hard and are ready and 
determined to make a successful run this year. 

"The team is playing very hard and everyone is in 
good shape. Being in the playoffs last year has given 
us something to build with this season," said Coach 
Parsons. 

They are coming off a very exciting season finish- 
ing 12-15 overall and 6-6 in the PSAC. The team also 
appeared in the PSAC playoffs for the first time in 
five years. 

There are eight returnees on the team all of which 
have at least one game of collegiate experience. 
Along with the returnees, the squad features four new 
players one of which is a freshmen. Kate Bekelja, a 
guard, is the lone Lady Eagle freshmen from 
Mechanisburg,Pa. out of Trinity High School. 

"She is adjusting to collegiate basketball very and 

may even see some time this weekend," said Parsons. 

Returning starters for the Lady Eagles are guard 



Allison Stodart (Madera/Moshannon Valley), for- 
ward Heather Cigich (Davidsville/Conemaugh Twp.), 
and forward Courtney Willman (Painesville, 
Oh. /Mentor). Other key retunees are all at the guard 
position. They are Tameka Washington (Warren, 
Oh./Warren G. Harding), Jen Duhnke (New 
Bethlehem/Redbank Valley), Lindsay Kostorick 
(Pittsburgh/North Catholic), Emily Rolf (Defiance, 
Oh. /Defiance), and Amelia Harris (London, 
Oh. /London). 

Christina Lantz was one of the two seniors the team 
lost to graduation leaving a major hole to fill. Cigich 
and Duhnke are expected to step up and fill her role 
on the team. Duhnke, a co-captain, is also expected 
to provide a great sense of leadership for the team. 
She is a very overt leader both on and off the court. 

Coach Parsons and her team have set goals and 
expectations for themselves for the season. Their 
major focus is to take a step up from last year and 
work towards play-offs. They also want to improve 
free throwing and three-point shooting percentages. 

Clarion fans can expect to see a fast moving up- 
tempo style from the team. They will also be very 
defensive minded which Coach Parsons likes to see 
and believes her team's defense has really stepped 
up. 

The season begins Friday evening as they face 
LaRoche at 6 p.m. in Tippin Gym. They will then 
play Saturday at either 1 p.m. or 5 p.m.

CU finishes season 7-4 as they fall to Slippery Rock 



Courtesy of 
Sports Information 



Slippery Rock took advantage of 
great field position on its first three 
possessions, ran out to a 21-0 first 
quarter lead, then held on to defeat 
Clarion 21-14 on a cold-rainy day at 
Memorial Stadium. 

The Senior Day crowd saw Clarion 
finish its season with a 7-4 overall 
record and a 3-3 mark in the PSAC- 
West. Slippery Rock also finished its 
season with a 7-4 overall record and 
a 4-2 mark in the PSAC-West. 

The Golden Eagles outgained 
Slippery Rock 206-113, posted 18 
first downs to Slippery Rock's 10 (4 
by penalty) and held Slippery Rock 
to minus 18 rushing yards for the 
game. 

The Rock recovered a Clarion fum- 
ble on the Eagles first possession at 
the Clarion 21. Three plays later Josh 
Kniess scored on a two-yard run and 
Slippery Rock led 7-0 at 11:51 of the 
first. 

The Rockets took possession on the 
Clarion 32 after a short punt and 
scorted on the first play when Chad 
Davore tossed a 32-yard td pass to 
Ryan McKavish for a 14-0 lead at 
9:59. 

The Rock's third possession started 
at the Clarion 16 and five plays later 
Brandon Markus scored on a six yard 
run giving the rockets a 21-0 lead at 
6:02 of the first quarter. 

Clarion bounced back to march 86- 
yards in 13 plays before halftime to 
close the gap to 21-7. Robert Walker 
dove off of a left tackle from two 
yards out to cap the drive. 

The second half belonged to 
Clarion as the Golden Eagles out- 
gained Slippery Rock 137 - (-3) 
yards and held the ball for nearly 18 
minutes. 

Midway through the fourth quarter 
Clarion started a drive at the SR 48, 
and in 10 plays had first and goal at 
the SR 5, but the Rock's Shawn 




Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call 

The Golden Eagle football team takes the field one last time in the 2002 sea- 
son. The team finished 7-4 overall. 



Hanzely intercepted an Adam 
Almashy pass in the endzone to stop 
the Eagle drive with 7:06 remaining. 
Clarion drove 56-yards to paydirt 
on its next drive and scored when 
Almashy ran 8-yards for an Eagle 
touchdown. Chris Carlton's PAT drew 
Clarion to within 21-14 with 2:31 
remaining, but Slippery Rock was 
able to run out the clock and secure 
the win. 

Clarion quarterback Adam Almashy s 
completed eight of 16 passes for 66 
yards and rushed for a touchdown. 
Robert Walker rushed for 58 yards 
and one touchdown on 17 carries and 
finished the season with 984 yards. 
Brandon Sweeney gained 53 yards on 
only eight carries. 

Slippery Rock quarterback Chad 
Davore completed five of nine passes

Arrest made in Nair Hall fire 



by Colleen Leonard 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Clarion University Public Safety 
Department arrested William 
Andrew Braatz of New Castle, Pa. 
on Friday, Nov. 22 for allegedly 
setting a bulletin board on fire in 
Nair Hall. 

Public Safety received a call 
about a fire alarm sounding on the 
fourth floor at 3:06 a.m. Public 
Safety Sergeant Mark Humes and 
Public Safety Officer Steve 
McClaine responded to the call 
and concluded that a person or 
persons had set fire to a bulletin 



board in the lobby area next to the 
elevators. 

The Clarion Area Fire 
Department arrived at the scene to 
help ventilate smoke from the 
area. Sergeant Humes noticed a 
burnt match lying approximately 
14 feet from the burnt bulletin 
board near the stairwell. The 
match is being held at Public 
Safety as evidence. 

Some of the students who were 
interviewed by Public Safety 
Officer Mark Allio indicated that 
one female student, in particular, 
may have been involved in the 
fire or possibly knew who had 



started the fire in the building. 

According to police reports, 
when the female was interviewed 
she said she and a friend had been 
visiting Braatz in his dorm room 
on the night of the fire. 

She said Braatz and his room- 
mate left the room and told the 
females they were going to visit 
residents on the fifth floor of Nair 
Hall. Several minutes after they 
returned, the fire alarm sounded 
and the building was evacuated. 

One of the females gave a writ- 
ten statement to officials saying 
Braatz had lit a poster on fire that 
was hanging on the bulletin 




Holiday symbols 




board. The other female student 
confirmed the statement. 

Public Safety contacted Braatz 
in Nair Hall. He was told his name 
had been mentioned in connection 
with the fire. Braatz was arrested 
and bail was set at $25,000. 
Braatz has since posted bail. 

Braatz denies any involvement 
in the incident. He is facing two 
felony charges of arson and relat- 
ed offenses. His hearing is sched- 
uled for Feb. 25, 2003. 

Two other incidents occurred in 
Nair Hall, as well, during the 
month of November. A restroom 
garbage can was set on fire at 1:12 
a.m. Nov. 7. A second restroom 
garbage can was set on fire at 4: 15 
a.m. Nov. 9. 

District Justice Anthony Lapinto 
said Braatz has not been charged

*** Warning Notice 



Jckic 



A Clarion Borough Parking Ordinance is in effect between Dec. 1 - April 1. The 

ordinance prohibits parking on both sides of North and South running streets 

from 1-7 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Parking is prohibited on 

both sides of East and West running streets between 1-7 a.m. on Sunday, 

Tuesday and Thursday. Parking is prohibited in the Liberty Street, Wood Street 

and Ross Memorial Municipal Parking Lots between 1-7 a.m on Mondays and 

Fridays. If your vehicle is parked in violation of the Ordinance, you will be fined 

$10. Further action is taken if the fine is not paid, which can include a warrant 

for arrest being issued. All Borough streets are affected and disabled vehicles are 

NOT excluded. 
The Clarion Borough Police Department wishes to point out that many people 
are fined each year because of misconceptions. The following problems most 

commonly result in tickets being issued: 

1. This is not a weather-related Ordinance. There is no requirement for snowfall. 
The Ordinance is a seasonal parking Ordinance. 

2. Many persons forget that "tomorrow" begins at 12:00 midnight. It is a com- 
mon mistake to go to bed on Monday night, forgetting that it becomes Tuesday at 
one minute after midnight. If your car is parked on an East and West running 
street, you will find a $10.00 ticket on your windshield. 

3. Vehicles must be moved COMPLETELY off the paved portion of the highway. 

We would like to start your day right. Do not make the mistakes we have pointed 

out to you. Please note the signs in place throughout the Borough and avoid an 

unnecessary fine. Have a nice winter season and drive safely.

with the other incidents and it is 
unknown if the incidents are relat- 
ed. 

There were no injuries in any of 
the incidents and there was very 
little property damage, according 
to Public Safety Director David 
Tedjeske. 

Anyone with information about 
these two incidents should call 



Public Safety at 393-2111. 

Some students who reside in 
Nair Hall are upset about the fires 
in their building. 

"I think it's scary, especially in 
the morning," said Steph 
Waigand, who lives on the fourth 
floor of Nair Hall. "As soon as 
you got to the lounge you could 
smell it." 



Many students have begun tak- 
ing fire alarms more seriously. 

"We waited outside for about 45 
minutes," said Sara Hackman, 
another Nair Hall resident. 
"Sometimes you hear something 
in the halls and think people are 
just being rowdy, and then you 
find out there's a real fire in the 
building."

Students can "chill at the beach" in Carlson Library 



by Denise Carter 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Clarion University's Health 
Science Education Center 
(HSEC) is working with the 
Dean of Libraries, Howard 
McGinn, to sponsor a Stress 
Free Zone in Carlson Library 
Dec. 5, 9 and 10 from 7 p.m. - 
1 a.m. 

"This program is important 
because we know that college 
is stressful, especially during 
finals week, and with the hol- 
idays coming up we would 
like to alleviate stress on stu- 
dents," said Health Educator 
Melanie Oliver. 

The Stress Free Zone is 
available to students at no 
cost and serves as a place to 
go to for a little TLC. 

The program will be held in 
the Cafe, which is to the right 
as soon as a person enters the 
library. 

The room, which is used for 
many purposes, will be trans- 
formed ifito a beach atmos- 



phere where students can go 
and relax. 

The theme is "Chillin at the 
Beach." 

Students can stop in to 
indulge in fruit smoothies, 
healthy snacks, vegetables 
and dip. 

Students can also watch 
comedy movies, receive mas- 
sage therapy, listen to music 
and play games. 

Raffles will be drawn every 
hour. 

"It will definitely get your 
mind off studying for awhile 
and that would help to lessen 
some of the stress," said 
Carey Troup, a senior elemen- 
tary education major. 

Oliver explains that 
although there are numerous 
signs of stress, it varies for 
each person. 

One person may suffer from 
a lack of sleep whereas anoth- 
er may suffer from too much 
sleep. 

Eating habits also vary. A 
person suffering from stress 



may eat large amounts of food 
or not eat enough food. 

Oliver also recommends 
that if a person believes their 
friend is too stressed to sug- 
gest they seek help. 

Oliver would like to remind 
students that there are coun- 
selors availabe on campus. 

■ Not only are students 
advised to be stress free with- 
out alcohol and drugs, but 
they are also advised to take 
study breaks to relax. 

"Do not procrastinate, do 
studying ahead of time," said 
Oliver. "It is important to 
sleep and to eat healthy. Take 
a little nap if you are tired 
because this will help you to 
retain a lot more information 
once you return to studying. 
Also, do not drink too much 
coffee. Instead, exercise dur- 
ing breaks to keep awake." 

In addition to the Stress 
Free Zone, paper cards will 
also be on the tables in the 
library with helplful hints for 
relaxing and information on

behaviors that increase stress 
and ways to avoid them. 

For those who study in 
groups, Oliver again says 
people vary. 

An auditory learner, one 
who learns by hearing, would 
benefit from group study ses- 
sions. A visual learner, on the 



other hand, would benefit 
more by studying alone.

CUP teams up with Clarion Borough and PennDot for new crosswalk 



Courtesy of University 
Relations 

Clarion - convenience and 
safety. 

That is the reason for a new 
crosswalk across State Route 
322 between Wilkinson Hall on 
the Clarion University of 
Pennsylvania campus and the 
parking lots on the opposite side 
of the highway. 

Many people crossed the busy 
highway at that location, despite 
the lack of a crosswalk, creating 
a safety hazard. 

"We need the cross walk for 
student safety," said Dave Fagan 
of Clarion University facilities 
planning. "We recognized that 
there was an unsafe condition 
that needed to be addressed." 

The crosswalk features a push 
button station on each side of 



the highway, which activate four 
crosswalk lights, stationed along 
Route 322. 

The flashing lights stay active 
for one minute to caution drivers 
that there are pedestrians wait- 
ing to cross. The University also 
added cement stairs and a land- 
ing leading down a previous 
small embankment from 
Wilkinson Hall to the crosswalk. 

The crosswalk is a collabora- 
tive effort between Clarion 
University, the Clarion Borough 
and PennDOT. 

It was requested by the 
University, approved by Clarion 
Borough Council and PennDOT 
approved the final design. 
Clarion University compensates 
the Borough for the construction 
and maintenance of the cross- 
walk. 



The project was completed in 
conjunction with Clarion 
University's paving of parking 
lots adjacent to Still Hall. 

"We used deferred mainte- 
nance funds and payment funds 
for the paving and crosswalk 
projects," explained Clair 
Heidler, director of facilities 
management. "Deferred mainte- 
nance money may only be used 
for maintenance of what we 
already have constructed. 
Payment money comes from 
parking permit fees and parking 
fine fees paid by Clarion 
University students and must be 
used for construction or mainte- 
nance or improving facilities." 

The paving project for the lots 
was two years in the planning. 
The efforts to add the crosswalk 
started early in 2002 when the 



university approached the 
Clarion Borough Council. 

Final approval for the cross- 
walk came from PennDOT on 
Aug. 1 and work started in late 
September. 

"Clarion University worked 
closely with the Clarion 
Borough and PennDOT to get 
the crosswalk installed," said 
Fagan. "PennDOT provided 
excellent drawings and the back- 
ing necessary to ensure the con- 
struction of the project. Clarion 
Borough did an outstanding job 
with the consturction." 

"I am glad to see the success 
of this project," evaluates 
Heidler. "The university 
improved an existing parking lot 
and by working with the 
Borough helped to improve 
safety. It was very helpful to 



have Clarion Borough involved. 
They are the only ones who 
were in a position to expedite 
the crosswalk approval process 
with PennDOT." 

Clarion University offices 
involved with the planning and 
completion of the crosswalk 
were Finance and 

Administration, Facilities 

Planning and Public Safety. The 
university subcontracted the 
project with Whalen Contracting 
of Franklin and Kroenwetter 
Electric of St. Marys. 

"The new crosswalk was 
added to help prevent accidents 
from happening," said Fagan. 
"However, pedestrians need to 
be aware if cars are traveling 
slow enough to enable them to 
cross, despite the flashing cau- 
tion lights."

Students prepare for the most stressful week of the semester 



by Lisa Covington 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

It's that time of year again, 
snow is on the ground, decora- 
tions are up throughout the 
Clarion area, and students are 
attempting to make up work from 
the beginning of the semester. Yes 
it is that time of year again, fall 
finals! 

Students are running around fin- 
ishing projects, papers, and study- 
ing within the short time they 
have remaining. Don't start to 
panic yet, there are some tips for 
students to use to do well for the 
semester remaining. 

"Everyone gets really stressed 
out at finals. You do need to study 
and be prepared, but that's the 
real world," said Emily Jo 
Straitiff, a sophomore political 
science major. "If you've done 
your work throughout the semes- 
ter cramming isn't necessary." 

Director of Academic Support, 
Dr. Louis Tripodi agrees. 

He and other Academic Support 



faculty have a few tips for stu 
dents to succeed during the week 
of finals. 

Planning a time to study and 
studying what the test will be on 
is at the top of the list. 

Tripodi explains that it makes a 
big difference if a student knows 
whether the exam is cumulative 
or not. 

In addition to reading class 
notes and a textbook while study- 
ing, come up with questions and 
answers to reinforce the informa- 
tion. 

Studying information from most 
recent to the start of the course is 
also helpful. The Academic 
Support Center believes this helps 
because students usually forget-^ 
material presented in the begin- 
ning of the semester. 

A list of these and other tips are 
available in the Academic 
Support Computer Lab on the B 
level of Campbell Hall. 

"Make sure that you are well 
rested. If you are tired your mind 
isn't at its maximum perfor- 



mance," said Tripodi. 

Making sure a student knows 
where and when the final is to be 
given is also a common problem 
that students face Tripodi recalls. 



Finals are stressful 
because I don 't know 
what to expect. §§ 

-Lisa Eger 



Although some students may 
feel the need to study non-stop, 
take breaks and relax at least a 
half an hour prior to the test. 

"Stress during finals depends on 
(a student's) standing in the 
class," said Vicki Orr, a counselor 
on campus. 

"If a final is cumulative, and the 
amount of tests a student has can 
cause them to become over- 
whelmed." 



She further explains that becom- 
ing overwhelmed is normal under 
these circumstances. Finals week 
and the week before causes most 
students to become stressed, more 
than any other time during the 
semester. 

Orr suggests going to the recre- 
ation center, which can help 
release tension in the body, espe- 
cially aerobic activities. 

Academic Support suggests not 
studying large amounts of infor- 
mation in one sitting without par- 
ticipating in an activity or break. 

Orr recommends taking some 
deep breaths to relax, which can 
often times calm students' nerves. 

"Finals are stressful because I 
don't know what to expect," said 
freshman, Lisa Eger. 

To help freshman and other 
students, the Academic Support 
Center on the B level of Campbell 
Hall and the Counseling Center in 
148 Egbert Hall, are services 
available specifically for students 
to take advantage of. 

Both of the services can be of 



assistance whether a student 
needs to learn time management 
skills or needs to prevent cram- 
ming. 

"This time becomes stressful if 
you cram," said Mike Jones a 
sophomore elementary education 
major. 

Academic Support provides 
tutoring, computer software and 
other resources for students to 
help improve their academic abil- 
ities. 

The Counseling Center can also 
provide handouts and one-on-one 
counseling to discuss ways to 
become a more efficient student. 

Throughout the year these ser- 
vices are accessible to students, 
but can become an asset when 
time is short.

It's taken a few 
years to compile 
all of the subtle clues 

I should have 

gathered, even as a 

five-year-old. 99 

-Amy Thompson 



EDITORIAL, AMY THOMPSON 
The Jig is Up" 



For anyone who has ever 
believed in Santa, there is a 
moment when you discover for 
yourself there is no Santa. Either 
you discover it yourself, or some 
bully tells you on the school bus. 
Luckily, the bullies forgot to tell 
me the secret, and I discovered it 
for myself. 

I also want to point out that no 
one in my family will believe the 
account of when I first discov- 
ered there was no Santa. My 
mom still thinks I stopped believ- 
ing in Santa the day she told me- 
when I was nine. Here's the real 
tale. 

I stumbled into mom and dad's 
room when I was five or six, 
because I liked to jump up and 
down on their huge bed while 
singing into a hairbrush. (Don't 



lie, you did it too.) 

On this particular day I saw a 
couple of wrapped presents on 
mom and dad's dresser. The pre- 
sents said, "To: Amy, From: 
Santa." Huh? 

I knew what it meant. Mommy 
and daddy were Santa. It's taken 
a few years to compile all of the 
subtle clues I should have gath- 
ered, even as a five-year-old. 

For example, this was the real 
reason why Santa had the same 
wrapping paper as the 
Thompson's. Mom used to say, 
"Santa shops at the same store to 
buy wrapping paper." Nice cover. 
This also explained why 
Santa's handwriting would some- 
times look like mommy's, and 
other times like daddy's. 

As a child, I also should have 



0P//V/O/V 

been more inquisitive as to how 
Santa was able to gain access to 
our house, since we had a tiny 
wood-burning stove that was 
tightly latched when closed. 

Now that I think of it, Santa 
also forgot to eat the cookies and 
drink the milk one Christmas. 

"He was just too full by the 
time he got to our house, Amy," 
mom told me. I believed her, 
being the little fool that I was. 

As sacrilegious as it may 
sound, I also found one of my 
letters to Santa in the big family 
Bible. You know the type of 
Bible I'm talking about- the 
Bibles that aren't really taken to 
church because they are almost 
as big as the church. My letter 
was tucked neatly inside that 
huge Bible. 

Although these clues didn't 
make sense until years later, I 
was sure there was no Santa 
when I saw that he had come 
early. No self-respecting Santa 
would come before Christmas 
Eve, but I shouted "Look 
mommy Santa came early." 

My mom probably made up 
some excuse about Santa having 
to drop off a few presents early 
because his bag would be too full 
on Christmas Eve. 

I brushed off her excuse. I 
thought I'd let my parents keep 
the Santa illusion for a few more 
years.

I encourage everyone to make

Student readdresses issues with recent Forum on Iraq 



Dear Editor, 

I would like to address several 
questions to the facilitators and 
organizers of the recent "Forum on 
Iraq." First, if I misrepresented any 
of the seven facilitators because I 
did not stay for the entire event, I 
fully deserve criticism. If any one of 
the "Organizers and Facilitators" 
said anything positive about 
America, Americans, President 
Bush, his Administration or our 
nation's foreign policy, or if any one 
of the seven facilitators acknowl- 
edged any wrong doing on the part 
of the Iraqi regime - you have my 



deepest and most sincere apologies. 
Knowing those of you who I do 
know, I am sure this is a pretty safe 
bet. 

But let us return to the question of 
removing Saddam Hussein from 
power. Regardless of Iraq's role in 
international terrorism, one can 
make many sound arguments for 
removing him from power. 

First, I am quite sure the facilita- 
tors would have us believe the 
respect of human rights is funda- 
mental to the legitimacy of any gov- 
ernment. We would assume that 
ethnic and religious tolerance and 



inclusivity would be the hallmarks 
of such a respect for human rights. 
Saddam has repeatedly used the 
Iraqi armed forces to attack the 
Kurds (an ethnic minority) in the 
north and Shi'a Moslems (a reli- 
gious minority) in the south of Iraq. 
His regime is brutal and repressive. 
He has cut the tongues out of gener- 
al officers who dare to disagree with 
him. He has poured gasoline over 
people and let them wonder when 
he would strike a match. It is report- 
ed that his favorite entertainment is 
to watch videos of people being tor- 
tured in his prisons. Should the

"world community" tolerate such 
violations of human rights? Should 
Saddam not be removed simply for 
his human rights violations? 
Second, would not the facilitators 
claim that any war of aggression is 
immoral? In his reign as dictator, 
Saddam has initiated two unpro- 
voked wars of aggression. His 
armies attacked Iran in a bitter and 
brutal war and then he attacked and 
occupied Kuwait, leading to the 
Persian Gulf War. If we assume that 
wars of aggression are immoral, 
should the "world community" not 
remove Saddam merely on his 
record of military aggression? 

People would have us believe that 
the nations of the world are some- 
how bound by "international law." 
Let us consider Iraq's status with 
regard to international law. Iraq has 
used chemical weapons on the 
Kurds and Shi'a Muslims. This is 
clearly a violation of international 
law. Saddam has used chemical 
weapons against Iran; clearly violat- 
ing both United Nations treaties 
and the Geneva conventions. He 
has violated at least 16 United 
Nations resolutions in the last 10 
years. With such a dismal record 
with regards to international law, 
should not the "world community" 
move to remove this man from 
power? I ask these questions to con- 
tinue the dialogue on America's for- 
eign policy. I would argue that there 
are at least three reasons to remove 
Saddam Hussein from power with- 
out even discussing his role in inter- 
national terror or oil. Yet, once 
again there is the liberal double 
standard. People hold America 
hostage to these "holy grails," but 
give Saddam and any other social- 



ist dictator a pass. 

Which brings to mind another 
question. I have been avidly follow- 
ing news and current events (many 
of which are now history) for more 
than 40 years. I have never once, in 
all those years, heard an academian 
criticize any socialist dictator, 
regardless of horrific that dictator 
may have been. I never heard a sin- 
gle college professor condemn the 
Soviet Union for their aggression, 
repression and incredible human 
rights violations. I have never heard 
any university professor criticize 
Fidel Castro, although every year 
hundreds of Cubans risk their lives 
to escape Castro and come to the 
US. Does it never dawn on you that 
there are not now and never have 
been, thousands of "oppressed" 
Americans fleeing to socialist 
"havens" around the world? 

Why is it that people cannot see 
any good in the U.S. or see any evil 
in totalitarian, dictators? Are people 
so locked into their Marxist world- 
view that they see every geopoliti- 
cal event in terms of the "oppressed 
classes struggling against the 
oppressor?" Do people see all 
human interactions in those same 
terms? 

Why do people have such a dark 
and dour view of life and the world? 
Why is it that people can only see 
the bad in the U.S. and none of the 
good? How is it that people refuse 
to see the generosity and goodness 
in our people? How is it that people 
cannot celebrate the successes of 
the American experience, but rather 
continue to harp on perceived or 
imagined wrongs that America has- 
done? Cordially,

Theatre Review 



"Music in (e)Motion" has something for everyone 



by Jessica Geary 
Clarion Call Staff > Writer 

"Music in (e)Motion," took 
the stage as Clarion 
University's theme for this 
years dance concert. The 
show was presented by 
Clarion University Theatre 
Department at 8 p.m. on Nov. 
21 and 22 in the Marwick- 
Boyd Auditorium. 

This year's dance concert 
explored areas of Accra, 
Interpretive dance. Tap, Jazz, 
and Modern. 

There were 24 dances 
accepted to the concert this 
year. Each dance had to be 
auditioned and granted the 
right to perform in this year's 
concert. 

All of the dancers had to 
practice their dances weeks 
before any of them were 
accepted. All the hard work 
paid off, because this year's 
show, although it had its 
flaws, showed the wonderful 
abilities of the students and 
faculty of Clarion University. 
The first act contained 
twelve dances which includ- 
ed: "Improv," "We're 
Dancing," "Angel s Son." 
"Clowns," "How Hott." 
"Philippians 4:13,*' "Cafe 
Latino," "Wham! Boom!," 
"Blurry," "Secret Place," 
"Renaissance Spinning" and 
"Steam Heat." 

"Clowns" stood out from 
the rest of the acts performed 
because of its costumes, 
clowns of course, and its eerie 
music. In this dance choreo- 
graphed by Marilouise 
Michel, two dancers tried to 
escape the seemingly evil 
clowns that were trying to get 
them. The stage was set in a 
dreaming manner with the use 
of fog and dim lighting. 
Although all the dances in 



the first act were wonderful, 
"How Hott" choreographed by 
Amanda Jo Curran, "Clowns" 
choreographed by Marilouise 
Michel, and "Steam Heat" 
originally choreographed by 
Bob Fosse and modified by 
Dayna Shaw Sear were the 
crowd favorites of the first 
act. 

After a fifteen minute inter- 
mission the second act started 
with a crowd pleasing noise. 
The twelve final acts were: 
"Boyz Noise," "The Party," 
"The Struggle," "Hear My 
Tears (Romans 826-27)," "I 
Gotcha," "Michael (or Track 
7)," "Color Blind," "The 
Wall" and "Noka." 

"Boyz Noise" stood out in 
this act from the rest of the 
dances because it used vari- 
ous music to highlight an all- 
male performance. 

A Clarion University music 
Professor, Brent Register, 
who would normally be seen 



as the flute professor, took 
place in this dance. He was 
accompanied by seven other 
male dancers, who explored 
regions of music and dance 
that including the dance move 
"The Monkey," and finished 
off the dance with N*Sync's 
"Bye- Bye- Bye." 

Again, all the dancers in the 
second act performed wonder- 
fully, but "Boyz Noise" 
choreographed by Marilouise 
Michel with Brian Schulze, 
"The Party" choreographed by 
Dayna Shaw Sear and "Noka" 
choreographed by Marilouise 
Michel stole the show. 

The people behind the 
scenes of this years dance 
concert played a major role. 
Costume Design played one 
of the most important parts of 
this year's concert. Costume 
coordinator Becky Thielet did 
an outstanding job in match- 
ing all the costumes appropri- 
ately to the dances that they 



belonged to. 

Lighting Designers, 
William. J. Gibson, Kellie C. 
Greenawalt, and Edward J. 
Powers, did a fantastic job in 
setting the mood appropriate- 
ly for each of the dances per- 
formed. 

Dancers in the play ranged 
from all different majors 
across Clarion University. 
The dancers included:

This year's dance concert 
used fog machines, live music 
performers, and immense tal- 
ent to pull off the concert. 
Although some dances had its 
flaws, like crowd restlessness 
or run away props, overall the 
concert was a huge success. 

With so many types of 
dances performed, there was 
something for everyone at this 
year's concert. 

The dance concert is per- 
formed every fall semester, 
and with so many different 
dances there is sure to be 
something that can be enjoyed 
by everyone at Clarion.

Carolyn and Carissa Movie Review 



"8 Crazy Nights" another Sandler flop 



by Carolyn Kelley 

and Carissa Rosati 

Clarion Call Staff Writers 

Carolyn says to wait and 
watch on video for next 
year's Christmas . . . 

The latest feature of Adam 
Sandler's line of comedy 
films is an animated movie 
called "8 Crazy Nights." How 
does this movie compare to 
any of the other "Happy 
Madison" productions? Not 
even close. 

Ok, sure, this movie does 
have some moments that 
make us laugh, but you end 
up leaving the movie feeling 
very disappointed. 

One of the many voices 
Sandler narrates is Davey 
Stone, the thirty-three year 
old drunk that carries around 
years of emotional baggage. 

It is Christmas time, and 
this time of the year is always 
a little harder for Davey, con- 
sidering this is the time of the 
year his parents died when he 
was thirteen. 

Davey is in trouble again, 
and he is placed under the 
supervision of Whitey, an 
elderly basketball coach who 



Sandler also add his squeaky 
voice to. 

From here we are intro- 
duced to Whitey's sister 
Eleanor who has a wide vari- 
ety of wigs, deer (that when 
they laugh too hard they have 
bowel movements) and a 
large number of musicals that 
lead us through the movie. 

The story itself was believ- 
able. Christmas time can be a 
gloomy time for some people, 
and sometimes all they need 
is someone to show them the 
way to happiness. 

The characters were humor- 
ous and well animated. As 
mentioned earlier there were 
a lot of musical numbers per- 
formed by the cast. 

Anyone who has followed 
Adam Sandler's career knows 
he places a lot of emphasis on 
his musical talents or as some 
would say lack there of. 

Brooke Arthur, Brad Isaacs, 
Adam Sandler, and Allen 
Covert wrote "8 Crazy 
Nights." Covert has starred in 
many of Sandler's films like 
"Happy Gilmore" and "Little 
Nicky" (which is by far the 
best Sandler film to date in 
my opinion).

was a bad movie; it is just not 
what you would expect the 
movie to be. 

It is enjoyable to hear all 
the very different voices 
Adam Sandler uses for the 
film, and it is fun to pick out 
voices of recurring actors in 
most of his films. 

Give it a try. If not now, 
then wait for its release on 
video. 

Carissa says this is just 
a story about the 
Scrooge of Dukesberry, 
"South Park" style... 

I was expecting Adam 
Sandler's "8 Crazy Nights" to 
be funny and entertaining. It 
was neither of these. I was 
sad most of the movie except 
for the end, which was the 
only, warm hearted moment 
of it. I did not laugh the entire 
movie. 

The movie does have some 
nice aspects of a musical in it, 
but that is all that is good 
about this movie. 

At the beginning of the 
movie when Davey is running 
away from the cops through 
town, he is singing about 
how he hates the holidays and 
how he does not care about all 
of the fun festivities of the 
town. 

Another musical part of the 
movie is in the scene when 
Davey Stone realizes the nice 
lady at the donut hut is 
Jennifer. 

He starts to sing about their 
relationship and the movie 
switches to her singing about 
her interpretation of the way 
they used to be in grade 
school and what a jerk he 
turned out to be. This was a 
nice touch to the movie. 

Adam Sandler plays the 
voices of Davey Stone, 



Whitey Duval, Eleanor 
Duval, and the deer. Jackie 
Titone plays the voice of 
Jennifer. Jennifer is Davey 
Stones old high school sweet 
heart. Austin Stout plays the 
voice of Benjamin who is 
Jennifer's son. 

Davey Stone is a 33-year- 
old alcoholic who is mean to 
everyone. He hates everyone, 
everything, and himself. 

This movie is the modern 
day "A Christmas Carol" 
South Park style. Davey is 
mean to everyone and uses 
them for the butt of all his 
nasty crude jokes. 

After he has yet another run 
in with the police and taken to 
court, the judge is ready to 
throw him in jail for ten 
years. 

Whitey Duvall, a referee for 
the youth basketball program 
is at the hearing and says that 
Davey should help him refer- 
ee the youth and this experi- 
ence should help straighten 
him out and bring out the 
good that he knows Davey 
once had in him. 

Davey is mean to Whitey 
the whole entire movie even 
when his trailer burns down 
and Whitev lets him stav with 



him and his sister ' .anor. 

Right as Stor.. r esses up 
again and is tboul to get 
thrown in jail for a long time, 
his heart unfreezes 

The spirit of Hanukah 
begins to overtak: his emo- 
tions suddenly, and he finally 
gives in and cries. 
Something that he needed to 
do along time ago 

Right after this transition 
takes place he realizes that he 
needs to do something self- 
less for his buddy Whitey. 

He makes the town realize 
that Whitey is the best 
Samaritan that the town has, 
and he deserves the patch that 
he has had his heart set on for 
thirty-five years. The patch 
is given once a year to the 
person with the most contri- 
butions to the life of the 
town. 

If you are looking for a 
funny, warm-hearted 
Christmas movie to see this 
season, definitely do not 
waste your time or money on 
this one. 

I was really disappointed 
because I am an Adam 
Sandler fan. Compared to all 
of his other movies, this one 
is bv far the worst.

College Christmas shopping for the sexes 



by Amanda Cackowski 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



Christmas shopping. That very 
phrase sends chills rushing up and 
down the spine of many people. 

The very thought of braving the blis- 
tering wintry weather and ice laden 
roads to plow into the bustling over 
crowded malls and shopping plazas is 
enough to throw up your hands in 
defeat, retreat to the nearest lazy boy 
recliner with a cup of egg nog and boy- 
cott the Christmas shopping rush at 
least until Christmas Eve. 

But perhaps an even more trying 
feat, at least for this writer and proba- 
bly many others, is the arduous task of 
finding that "perfect" gift for your spe- 
cial someone. 

"How much do I spend?" "What if he 
hates it?" "What if she spends more 
than me?" All questions that fill one's 
mind (the polar opposite of the arche- 
typal sugar plums dancing in your 
head) during the Christmas shopping 
season. 

This first possible solution to this 
problem is to simply ask you signifi- 
cant other: "Honey, what would you 



like for Christmas?" 

Providing that your "honey" replies 
with the phrase "A new sweater would 
be lovely," then your gift giving wor- 
ries are over. 

However, more than likely, your spe- 
cial someone retorts with an "I don't 
care," or a "Whatever is fine," contin- 
uing the struggle in the quest for the 
"perfect" gift. 

Next step - (after throwing a tantrum 
and pouting for a bit) is to think about 
what your significant other enjoys - 
likes, dislikes, hobbies, interests. 

Then think about what he/she already 
owns (you may not want to buy a 
duplicate gift, I hear it is not looked 
upon favorably). 

After devising a few ideas, you may 
want to run to the nearest ATM to 
check the balance of your bank 
account. Cleaning out your minimal 
(and I assume minimal because most of 
us are college students of course) sav- 
ings may not be the best idea. 

So set a limit on your spending. Or 
better yet, sit down as a happy couple 
and set a gift-spending limit between 
the two of you. And be sure to propose 
a "no exceptions" rule to exceeding the 



set limit. perfect present choice, then maybe you 

Sigh. Ok - now you have some ideas will be buying a gift for a different 
and a spending limit, but you've yet to person next year! 
purchase a present. Best advice - suck 
it up and get to the mall! 

The best way to find that special gift 
is to join the ranks of other holiday 
shoppers and get out there. Window- 
shop. You may have a general idea of 
what to buy, but getting a feel for what 
commerce has to offer might help 
broaden your gift-giving horizons. 

Online shopping is also an option, 
for those who are claustrophobic or 
simply lazy. You can browse around on 
specific store websites, search for a 
gift, or even click on a link to a gift 
buying website that offers suggestions 
on possible purchases. 

Online gift cards are also a possibil- 
ity in this technological day and age. 

A realm of gift-giving possibilities 
awaits you, but the bottom line on buy- 
ing for you special someone: CHILL 
OUT. 

Chances are if you are experiencing 
gift-giving anxiety, then your mate is 
also. And if, when the gift exchange 
takes place, your special someone is 
visually and verbally upset with your

S.A.A.C collects over 5,000 cans in annual food drive 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

The Clarion University Student- 
Athlete Advisory Committee recently 
completed their fall community service 
project. 

For the eleventh year, Clarion's 
S.A.A.C collected cans for the Clarion 
County Community Action Organization 
for less fortunate families in Clarion 
County. 

This year 5,202 cans were collected- 
from all of the athletic teams at Clarion. 
The amount of cans almost doubled 
from the 2,400 cans that were collected 
last year. 

The food drive went on through the 
last half of the semester as teams worked 
hard to collect cans. The deadline was 
on Thursday Nov. 21 and on Friday, sev- 
eral S.A.A.C representatives took all the 
cans to the food bank located on Second 
Ave. 

"This is such a great project for 
S.A.A.C and it helps a lot of families 
during the holidays," said Athletic 



Director Bob Carlson. 

The food drive has become very com- 
petitive within the athletic department 
by seeing which team can collect the 
most cans. This year the track team col- 
lected 1,582 cans to place first for the 
most cans collected. Wrestling came in 
second with 694 cans, followed by the 
volleyball and soccer teams. 

"The soccer team and wrestling team 
had a little bit of a competition going on 
to see who could collect the most cans, 
but the real reason was to collect as 
much food as possible for the less fortu- 
nate," said S.A.A.C representative Jared 
Moss. 

There are approximately 350 student- 
athletes at Clarion which works out to an 
average of 15 cans per student-athlete. 

"Seeing all of the cans of food that we 
donated and knowing that we were help- 
ing other people during the holidays, 
really felt good," added Moss. 

S.A.A.C will resume their bi-weekly 
meetings next semester with many new 
project ideas for Clarion's student-ath- 
letes.

"I rot f o invite you to EXPERIENCE the sujwnstorif world 
of t dead mm who taint dive." Mark Cummins 



Now that we're all packing up and 
heading out for winter break, many 
athletes find that staying in shape 
isn't exactly on the top of their pri- 
ority lists. 

Often times, after leaving the con- 
fines of the facilities and control of 
our coaches, continuing with a rig- 
orous training routine seems a bit to 
tedious for the most of us. However, 
falling out of shape happens so 
much more quickly than actually 
getting into it. 

I know that personally, I'm con-- 
sidered as the "Workout Nazi" 
among my teammmates, but as soon 
as I leave Clarion, my secret lazy 
streak often shines through. I find it 
so daunting to attend practices at my 
own free will, and so simple to 
make up a million excuses to skip it. 
However, the guilt of bailing 
haunts me, and when the time 
comes to race, I always think back 
on the times where I could have 
practiced and didn't. 



BETHANY BANKOVICH 

Bl IHANVS BITS" 

This holiday season will come 
and go as many others have in the 
past., but lets make this season be 
different. Instead of waking up at 2 
p.m. everyday, I suggest that we try 
and stick to a healthier schedule. 

Not to say that sleep isn't impor- 
tant, just too much excess can actu- 
ally make someone require more. In 
addition to this, we also need to 
change our diets to suit our activity 
level. 

Naturally, we shouldn't consume 
5,000 calories daily if we aren't 
training enough to bum it off. In 
opposition to this, we shouldn't try 
starving either if we want to keep 
the muscle we've worked so hard to 
put on. 

Lastly, try and find a place to 
workout when you go home for 
winter break. It will help you main- 
tain all that you've gained during 
the season physically, and keep you 
in great mental shape for when you 
return from vacation.

Volleyball team loses heartbreaker in 
the first round at Regional tournament 



by Erin Witner 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

It has been quite a ride for the 
Lady Eagle Volleyball team this 
season. Records were broken, 
both individually and as a whole. 

Although their ride ended in 
the first round of Regionals, 
these ladies have a lot to be 
proud of. 

They headed to the Regional 
tournament with hopes of 
advancing to Nationals, however 
that got cut short when they 
faced Lees-McRae in the open- 
ing round held at Indiana 
University of Pa. on Nov. 22. 

Clarion faced Lees-McRae in 
the Holiday Inn Clarion Classic 
back in October and they defeat- 
ed them 3-1. The team knew that 
they had the potential to defeat 
them once again and advance to 
the second round in the tourna- 
ment. 



"We did not take them lightly 
and we knew it was going to be a 
tough game," said Head Coach 
Fluharty. 

Clarion won the first game 30- 
22 only to have Lees-McRae 
come back and win the second 
game. By the end of the fourth 
game, the match was split 
between the two teams, 2-2 to 
force a fifth game. 

Unfortunately, Lees-McRae 
pulled out on top to win game 
five 15-12 and the match 3-2 and 
the right to move on to round 
two. 

"It was a very emotional loss 
for the team, however this has to 
be used for a motivation factor 
for next year," said Fluharty. 

Mel Bull had 20 kills and eight 
digs, Tonya Zatko had ten kills 
and eight blocks, and Colleen 
Sherk added seven kills and 
eight digs. 



Jackie Hill had 45 assists and 
14 digs and Laurie Hepler had 18 
digs. Clarion's lone senior, Beth 
Stalder, finished with 11 kills in 
her final match for Clarion. 

The Lady Eagles will now 
enjoy some time off until 
February. They will then begin 
individual and team practices. 

There will be a lot of condi- 
tioning and skill work during the 
off-season. They will also par- 
ticipate in two spring tourna- 
ments. 

Overall, the season was very 
successful for Clarion volley- 
ball. Every team goal was met, 
individual records were made 
and set and school records were 
met as well. 

"I am extremely pleased with 
each player and proud of the 
team. We had a wonderful season 
and we have alot to be proud of," 
added Fluharty.

Clarion's fall athletic teams spells S-U-C-C-E-S-S 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

It has been quite an exciting season 
for Clarion University's fall athletic 
teams, actually it's been one of the 
most successful fall seasons in recent 
years as far as records and accom- 
plishments. 

"It was tun to go through a season 
where you had more than one pro- 
gram that was successful with such 
upbeat attitudes from the athletes, 
coaches, and fans," said Athletic 
Director Bob Carlson. 

Let's take a look back on the fall 
2002 semester and highlight why 
Clarion's fall athletic teams spelled 
out success: 

Men's and Women's Cross Country: 
The women's cross country team is 
coming off of their most successful 
seasons ever in school history. They 
finished in first place at the 
Duquense. Lock Haven, and 
Gettysburg meets. The team finished 
an impressive third at PSAC's, sec- 
ond at Regionals, and 20th at 
National's It was the first time the

On the men's side, they faced some 
challenges with such a young team, 
however, improved with each meet 
that they ran. 
Football:

Golf: 

The goif team placed very well in 
the majority of their matches this sea-

Invitational they placed 6th out of 15 
teams and at the WVIAC Regionals, 
they came in first. Sophmore stand- 



Stewart had three goals. Sophmore 
Alisha Turner and Vioti both had four 
assists. Goalkeeper Christina Gattens 
had 200 saves. 
Tennis: 

The tennis team saw major 
improvements this season. They fin- 
ished 2-3 overall and 1-3 in the 
PSAC. With a solid line of recruits 
expected to come in, the Lady Eagle 
tennis team is sure to make a mark in 
the future. 
Volleyball: 

The Lady Eagle volleyball team is 
coming off of their most successful 
season in school history. They fin- 
ished 31-5 overall and 7-3 in the 
PSAC. They also made their first trip 
to the Regional tournament in school 
history. The team also set a number of 
individual records. 

Junior Melanie Bull set two records 
this season. She set the record for 
career assists and single-season kills. 
Junior Jackie Hill broke the school 
record for career assists. Both Bull 
and Hill received PSAC Player of the 
Week honors. They only will lose one

Candidates begin to vie for presidency 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 



>•••••••••< 



>••••••< 



The Presidential Search 
Committee has begun interview- 
ing candidates for Clarion 
University's next president. 
University President Diane 
Reinhard's retirement is effective 
June 2003. 

The committee, which consists 
of 14 people, met with executive 
search firm A.T. Kearny. 

The committee met with the 
executive search firm's represen- 
tative Dr. Jan Greenwood to dis- 
cuss what qualities a candidate 



should possess. 

Five candidates have been 
selected for interviews. They are: 
Dr. Livingston Alexander - Kean 
University, Dr. Joseph P. 
Grunenwald - Clarion University, 
Dr. Kyle R. Carter - Missouri 
State University, Dr. Barry M. 
Dorsey - University of Rio 
Grande, and Dr. Terry L. Hickey - 
University of Akron. 

Alexander spoke Monday at 
Hart Chapel. 

He received an Ed.D. in 
Educational Psychology and a 
Master's Degree in Curriculum 
from the University of Houston 



and a Baccalaureate Degree in 
Philosophy from St. Joseph 
Seminary College. 

Alexander currently works at 
Kean University in New Jersey as 
Provost and Vice President for 
Academic Affairs and a Professor 
of Psychology. 

Alexander had 10 minutes to 
present to the committee, students 
and members of the community 
why he is interested in the posi- 
tion at Clarion University and 
why he believes he is qualified for 
the position. 

He outlined three areas that 
attracted him to Clarion

University. The first was Clarion's 
large number of high quality aca- 
demic programs. 

Next was Clarion's record of 
strong commitment to student 
success. Alexander was also 
impressed with Clarion's willing- 
ness to open the campus to the 
community. 

"You have made it your business 
to help outside the community," 
said Alexander. 

Alexander believes his time at 
Kean University has prepared him 
for the role of president. 
Alexander worked for three years 
to implement a new general edu- 
cation program at Kean 
University. 

He also believes his manage- 
ment style would be beneficial to 
Clarion. 

"My style is one of consulta- 
tion," said Alexander. "The best 
decisions are made with the talent, 
knowledge and ability of those 
around you, and to make a deci- 
sion one has to have experience." 
When asked what quality means 
to him, Alexander said, "Clearly 
my definition of quality has to 
depend on student success." 

Kean University is also seeking 
a new president this year, but 
Alexander did not apply. 

"Clarion University is the type 
of institution that is very attractive 
to me," said Alexander. "I look at 
your assets and it's the best of 
both worlds." 

Clarion University Provost and 
Academic Vice President Joseph 
P. Grunenwald spoke on 
Wednesday. 

He received both a Doctor of 
Business Administration and a 
Master of Business 

Administration from Kent State 
University. He also has a Bachelor 
of Engineering from Youngstown 
State University. 

Grunenwald has had works pub- 
lished in the American Business

Review, the Pennsylvania Journal 
of Business and Economics as 
well as others. 

Grunenwald also had 10 minutes 
to explain why he is interested in 
Clarion University and why he 
believes he is qualified to serve as 
president. 

It was in February 1978 that 
Grunenwald met Clarion 
University and its people, and it's 
the people he says that kept him 
here. 

"This is my home and this is the 
place where I choose to apply my 
trade," said Grunenwald. 

When asked how his adminis- 
tration would diffe from Dr. 
Reinhard's, Grunenwald replied, 
"she and I have very similar val- 
ues." 

He added that he would like to 
work on the science and technolo- 
gy agenda. 

"We have to find ways to expand 
that," said Grunenwald. "We are 
the technology of this region." 

Grunenwald believes he also has 

the skills to draw people together. 

It's those skills and

Grunenwald 's openness that he 
says guides his management 
style. 

"I try to make the organization 
do the business of the place," said 
Grunenwald. 

Like Alexander, Grunenwald 
was also asked to define quality. 

"What our students do and what

What you need to know about snow 



Courtesy of KRT Campus 

To most of us, one snowflake 
is about as good as another. Put 
enough of them together and 
you have a slippery nuisance 
and a perilous drive. 

To snow scientists, however, 
the snowflake is one of nature's 
masterpieces, at least as enig- 
matic and enchanting as other 
great works of art. 

Each one is truly distinct (a 
controversy a few years back 
notwithstanding), but that 
uniqueness is of something 
more than aesthetic interest. 

Government and academic 
researchers are trying to crack 
the mysteries of snowflakes 
how they form and what types 
will fall under certain condi- 
tions. Among the most-impor- 
tant quests are figuring out how 
to predict how much moisture 
the flakes will hold and how 
much snow will pop out of a 
given amount of moisture. 

The moisture content of every 
flake is different, and knowing 
the liquid level is the key to 
such critical questions as how 
much snow will accumulate, 
how it will drift, how quickly 
airplanes will ice up in a storm, 



and how much water eventually 
will ooze out of the snowpack 
to swell rivers and streams. 

Serious snow research dates 
to at least the legendary 
German astronomer Johannes 
Kepler in the early 17th centu- 
ry. But for all the snow tjiat has 
fallen in the period of record, 
the raw research material is 
surprisingly thin. 

"You have decades and 
decades of snowfall records," 
said Kenneth G. Libbrecht, a 
physics professor at the 
California Institute of 
Technology, in Pasadena, "and 
no data on the kind of snow 
crystals that fell." 
What's more, he said, comput- 
ers are of little help in making 
up for the lack of data. "Ice is a 
complicated material, and it has 
a complicated structure," he 
said. "It's been hard to model 
this stuff." 

That's one reason that snow- 
accumulation forecasts have 
such large spreads, typically 4 
to 8 inches, or 6 to 12 inches, 
and why they might end up 
missing the mark anyway. 
It is known that for a variety of 
reasons, the airy dendritic or 
star-shaped flakes are the most 



efficient for accumulating. 
"There are a lot of spaces, air 
pockets, so you can create more 
depth of snow for the same 
amount of liquid," said Paul J. 
Roebber, a snow scientist at the 
University of Wisconsin. 

For now, however, the com- 
puters don't even try to forecast 
snowflake types or accumula- 
tions. They do spit out precipi- 
tation forecasts, and then leave 
it to the weather people to fig- 
ure out how the liquid will con- 
vert to snow. 

For decades, meteorologists 
have relied on a rule of thumb 
that every inch of rain yields 10 
inches of snow; more if the air 
is colder, and less if it's 
warmer. They derived that fig- 
ure from an 1887 research 
paper by a Canadian scientist 
who warned even then that his 
numbers couldn't be taken to 
the bank. 

Recent research has given 
that rule the thumbs down. 
Roebber and his team of 
researchers looked at 1,650 
snowfalls at 28 stations across 
the country from Salt Lake City 
to Portland, Maine, and found 
that the 10-1 ratio was the 
exception rather than the rule.

Student Senate 



Student Senate allocates $6,650 to campus organizations 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Student Senate used its voting 
privileges more than seven 
times at Monday night's meet- 
ing including allocating $6,650 
to three organizations. 

Senators voted to allocate 
$5,050 from the large item cap- 
ital fund to the Clarion 
University Men's and Women's 
Track Team for a new pole 
vault pit pending approval of 
President Reinhard. 

The NCAA has made it 
mandatory for universities and 
high schools to install safer 
pole vault pits due to several 
injuries and deaths of pole 
vaulters around the country. 

The pole vault must be in 
place by March so that Clarion 
can compete in the event. 

The pit will cost $10,095. 

CSA made a commitment to 

M.F. Athletics to order the pit 

once approval is granted. 

Clarion High School also uses 



the university's track and pole 
vault and will pay the addition- 
al $5,045. 

Student Senate also voted 
(21-0-0) to allocate $1,000 
from the capital account to the 
CSA general admission office 
for a new computer. 

A new accounting system was 
recently installed and the cur- 
rent computer isn't compatible 
with the new software. 

In a vote of 20-1-0, Student 
Senate allocated $600 from the 
supplemental account to the 
Returning Adult and Commuter 
Students organization (RACS). 

The organization fundraised 
last semester to pay its bills by 
hosting bake sales once a 
month, but ended up still owing 
$625 to Chartwells for an event 
held during finals week last 
semester. 

Student Senate voted later in 
the meeting (21-0-0) to allow 
RACS to change its name to 
Non-traditional Students Union 
(NTSU). Student Senate voted

again (21-0-0) to approve the 
organization's constitution. 

"We finally have things on 
track and our membership is 
growing," said NTSU President 
Stacie Wolbert. "We have a lot 
of different things scheduled 
for the semester." 
Another vote took place (21- 



0-0) to revoke the recognition 
of the Karate Club and Omicron 
Delta Epsilon due to at least 
one semester of inactivity. 

A final vote took place (21-0- 
0) to table the budget packet for 
the next two weeks for further 
review. Student Senate will 
vote on the packet Feb. 10.

Clarion to channel $3.1 million toward instructional support and technology 



by Sharvil Desai 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

The Clarion University 
Board of Trustees, in their year- 
ly meeting to approve a new 
fiscal plan for the new calendar 
year, decided to implement a 
$2.5 million increase in expen- 
diture for instructional support 
items such as new books, refer- 
ence materials and online 
resources in the library. 

In addition, $600,000 will be 
spent on new technology 
including new computers and 
software in computing labs, and 
learning technology centers, or 
"smart" classrooms, equipped 
with a number of electronic 
devices to aid the learning 
experience. 

The funding for these items 



will come from a new instruc- 
tional support fee of 10 percent 
of tuition and a standard one- 
time $100 technology fee 
charged to each student. 

"These additional fees will go 
100 percent toward their 
intended purposes," said Joseph 
Grunenwald, provost and acad- 
emic vice president. 

Besides the two fees provid- 
ing funding for the new materi- 
als and facilities to be incorpo- 
rated on campus, the university 
budget will also be modified 
accordingly to provide the 
needed resources for the new 
instructional support. 

The expenditures in particu- 
lar, will include a $40,000 
increase for the library collec- 
tion fund, bringing the total 
amount invested in the library 



to $275,000. Additionally, a 43 
percent rise in funding for aca- 
demic computing lab advance- 
ments means a total of 
$220,000 spent for this fund. 

When asked when the new 
technological and instructional 
support items should be seen on 
the Clarion campus, 

Grunenwald said new items 
should actually begin appearing 
this semester, but "it depends 
on when the Harrisburg tech fee 
is released." 

Regarding Harrisburg's role, 
Grunenwald explained the 
Board of Governors adopted 
the technology fee in July 
2002. 

The grant for resources for 
the new technology will depend 
on when the state government 
will release this funding.

In other business, KPMG, an 
independent Pittsburgh 

accounting agency, checked 
Clarion University's present 
accounting practices and con- 
cluded their search with the 
presentation of a "Clean 
Audit." A "clean audit" simply 
means that no errors were 
found in Clarion's standard 
accounting process. 

All accounting procedures 



were found to be followed cor- 
rectly and financial records 
kept properly, with no excep- 
tions. 

Paul Bylaska, vice president 
of finance and administration, 
was pleased with the findings, 
giving credit to the work of his 
fiscal team. 

"I was particularly pleased 
with this result given the 
absence of the entire year of

was working on the State 
System financial software," 
said Bylaska.

Hoke named Assistant Director of Campus Life 



by Denise Carter 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Shawn Hoke, former assis- 
tant director of student activi- 
ties has been named Assistant 
Director of campus life. 

"He was chosen for this posi- 
tion because he was the most 
qualified applicant and he had 
a very strong sense of where he 
wanted to take Greek life and 
student organizations," said 
Director of Campus Life 
Jeffrey Waple. "He's also sup- 
ported by many students." 

Hoke took a temporary posi- 
tion in September 2001 as 
Assistant Director of Student 
Activities. 

The change in the job title is 
due to the reorganization of 
Student and University Affairs. 

Hoke has already set several 
goals for his new position. 

One goal that Hoke has set 
includes an adviser support 
training program. He realized 



that an active participatory 
adviser is the key to success in 
Greek Chapters. 

Hoke's second goal is to cre- 
ate a committee to help to 
insure that fraternities and 
sororities are living up to their 
stated standards. 

His third goal is to get Greek 
alumni reinterested in what is 
happening on campus and 
assisting fraternities and 

sororities with their time and 
talent. 

Hoke, a 1995 Clarion 
University graduate andformer 

CfarioH Caff photography editor, 
wants to help current students 
get the same experience that he 
got as a student. 

"I want to be available to stu- 
dents on a personal and profes- 
sional level just like my advis- 
ers were to me when I was 
attending the university," said 
Hoke. "I want to have an 
impact on someone's life like 
they had on mine." 



/ want to be avail- 
able to students on a 
personal and profes- 
sional level just like my 
advisers were to me. 99 

-Shawn Hoke 



When asked what issue he is 
most passionate about chang- 
ing on campus, Hoke respond- 
ed with,"apathy." 

"I really want people to get 
involved. There are over 130 
organizations on campus, 
including sports games, the 
recreational center, and other 
programs held on campus each 
week. There has to be some- 
thing out there for everyone." 

As Assistant Director of 
Campus Life, Hoke would also 
like to have a two day member 
orientation program for new 
Greek members. 



Fire destroys C.U.P. student's home on Christmas Day 



by Lisa Covington 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Christmas was not very merry 
this year for the McBryde 
Family of Beaver Falls. 

While enjoying Christmas 
dinner at a relative's home next 
door, the family was alerted by 
a neighbor that their home was 
ablaze. 



#* 



/ lived there my 
whole life. 99 

-Ronda McBryde 



Fortunately, no one was in the 
home at the time. But Clarion 
University student Ronda 
McBryde, her three younger 
siblings and parents were left 
without a home. 

"I lived there my whole life," 
said Ronda McBryde, a senior 
elementary education major. 
The home, which her parents 
lived in for more than 24 years, 
was destroyed and barely any- 
thing was salvageable said 
McBryde. 

The fire began in a first floor 
bedroom, although the cause of 



the fire is still unknown. 

The McBryde family is stay- 
ing at the Holiday Inn in 
Beaver Falls thanks to the Red 
Cross. 

The Red Cross also provided 
donations and food vouchers 
for the family. 

Clarion University and the 
surrounding community are 
also getting involved to assist 
the family in need. 

The Immaculate Conception 
Church of Clarion raised 
money for the McBryde family 
during the celebration of 
Martin Luther King Jr's 
Birthday. 

"It could happen to any one of 
us and I hope that someone 
would do the same for me," 
said Student Senate Vice 
President Jackie Collier. 

Students, faculty and staff are 
encouraged to take small appli- 
ances, canned and boxed goods, 
paper towels, linens and bed- 
ding to the Student Senate 
Office in 269 Gemmell or the 
Minority Student Service 
Office also in Gemmell. 

Minority Student Services 
initially alerted Student Senate 
and other student organizations 
including Building Bridges, 
Black Student Union, Men of 
Color Think Tank and Women 
United. Each of these organiza- 
tions will be accepting items

students are willing to provide. 
Clarion's Campus Dining 
Services is also becoming 
involved by donating food, 
plates, napkins and other items 
that will allow the family to 
have food during their time of 
need. 

"We are hoping to bridge the 
gap between now and when [the 
McBryde's] can get back on 
their feet," said Jeff Gauger, 
director of campus dining ser- 
vices. 

Collier explained that Student 
Senate plans to collect items as 
long as the family is in need 
and as long as people keep giv- 
ing. 

If those donating wish to give 
clothing or shoes, the following 
sizes are available: 
Mother: size 24, shoes 12 
Father: 2X/48 (shirt/jacket), 
48/34 pants 

Sister: 12-14, shoes 11 

Brother, age 11: 18-20, shoes 9 

Brother, age 8: 10-12 shoes, 3. 



He feels that issues such as 
time management, risk man- 
agement, and especially public 
relations are important because 
there are a lot of stereotypical 
ideas floating around about 
what fraternities and sororities 
are about. 

"Initially, we have only done 
anti-hazing workshops but it 
gets kind of boring and there 
are some other issues that new 
members need to be aware of," 
said Hoke. 

Tyler Sturgill, a junior 
accounting major and president 
of Sigma Pi fraternity, has got- 
ten to know Hoke personally. 

"I've gotten to know him 
pretty well in Greek relations 
and I think that he is an open- 
minded, dedicated and fair 
individual," said Sturgill. 

"College is a transformation- 
al experience. I learned a lot of 
life lessons by getting involved 
in recognized student organi- 
zations and taking leadership

Students "spring into fitness" at the Rec. center 



by Liz Peglow 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Have you returned from 
break carrying a little extra 
weight? With the help of the 
student recreation center, 
health center and counseling 
center, you can shed those 
extra holiday pounds. 

The Spring into Fitness 
Program kicked off 

Wednesday in the rec center. 

The program is designed to 
help participants lose weight 
and get in shape through 
health presentations, exercise 
and some friendly competi- 
tion. 

The program is open to any 
who wish to participate, pro- 
vided they are at least five 
pounds overweight and will- 
ing to sign a release form for 
liability purposes. 

Teams of five will compete 
against each other to see how 
many pounds they can lose. 

The program will be held 
every Monday and Wednesday 
at 4:30 and will last one hour. 

On Mondays there will be a 
weekly weigh-in where each 
member of a group will be 



weighed. 

The number of total pounds 
the group lost will then be 
posted in the rec center under 
the group name. No individual 
names will be published, so 
one's weight can remain com- 
pletely confidential. 

Each Wednesday at 4:30 
participants will meet for 
group counseling. These pre- 
sentations will be led by a dif- 
ferent speaker each week and 
will cover proper use of exer- 
cise machines, weight train- 
ing, ways to utilize the climb- 
ing wall and possibly yoga 
techniques, although an 
instructor is still needed. 

Mary Obenrader, a dietician 
for the Clarion Hospital, will 
give three presentations, one 
of which will cover such top- 
ics as eating out, eating at the 
cafeteria and eating on a bud- 
get. 

Kay King from the counsel- 
ing center will speak on eating 
in relation to moods. 

Informative sheets with 

facts about the food pyramid 

and other nutrition subjects 

will be distributed as well. 

After each weigh-in and 



group counseling session, 
there will be time allotted for 
participants to exercise as 
they choose. Individual 
appointments for weight and 
exercise training can be 
arranged through the rec cen- 
ter. 

The Spring into Fitness pro- 
gram was an idea that came to 
life mainly due to student 
inquiry. 

When asked who was spon- 
soring the program, Susan 
Bornak, administrative direc- 
tor of the health center, said 
the program was "a true col- 
laboration with the health cen- 
ter, rec center and counseling 
center." 

Bornak and Darlene Hartle 
of Keeling Health Center both 
feel the program was not only 
much needed, but also an 
activity that students should 
feel positive about. 

The cost of the program is 
$5.00 for students, but is fully 
refunded if 80% of the activi- 
ties are attended. 

The fee is to act as an incen- 
tive for students to attend reg- 
ularly. The cost for non-stu- 
dent rec center members is

Clarion to feel effects of NCAA decision to 
increase safety standards in pole vault event 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Clarion University pole 
vaulters will soon feel safer float- 
ing through the air due to a recent 
NCAA decision to increase safety 
standards. 

The decision came after several 
pole vaulters were killed in the 
event.

Everything is much

in the past. 99 

-Pat Mooney 



A pole vaulter was killed at 
Pennsylvania State University in 
State College, Pa. last winter dur- 
ing the Big 10 Indoor Conference 
according to Patrick Mooney, 
head coach of the men's and 
women's track and field team. 



"Everything is much more 
secure and tighter than it had ever 
been in the past," said Mooney. 
"This isn't uncommon for there to 
be modifications based on the 
NCAA medical safeguards com- 
mittee," said Clarion University 
Executive Director Bob Carlson. 

The cost of a new pole vault pit 
is $10,095. Student Senate voted 
(21-0-0) Monday night to allocate 
$5,050 from the large item capital 
account to the university track 
team for a new pit pending the 
approval of President Reinhard. 

The rest of the money will come 
from Clarion High School, which 
also uses the university track and 
pole vault. High schools must 
also follow the new regulations. 

A commitment was made to 
M.F. Athletics by the CSA office 
to order the pit. 

The pit needs to be installed by 
March or the university may not 
compete in the event, nor may 
competitions be hosted at 
Clarion. 

The pit will be bigger, wider, 
longer and deeper with rubber

padding said Mooney. 

According to Carlson, a new 
pole vault has not been purchased 
in more than 12 years. 

"The one we have now is in 
really bad shape," said Carlson. 
"It was not designed for a kid 
who loses his balance in the air."

" Waves of Emotion" 



It's that time of year when 
daylight seems too short, classes 
too long, school work too 
monotonous, and Clarion... too 
cold! 

With the freezing weather con- 
tributing to this aura of misery, 
it's no wonder that many stu- 
dents experience unhappiness. 
Although this feeling fits under 
the undesirable section of the 
emotion scale, it is a normal part 
of life. 

Many factors come into play 
when determining what brings 
us down. 

Typically, students claim to 
feel overwhelmed, exhausted, 
lonely and bored around this 
time of year. These negative 
emotions combine, and unsus- 
pecting students fall into a state 
of the doldrums. 



(However, if you feel this way 
for a prolonged amount of time, 
it's important to seek profes- 
sional guidance.) 

Although seemingly unwant- 
ed, "down" moments, I believe, 
form a balance in people's lives. 

Just one month ago, I soared 
on cloud nine at one of the high- 
est points in my life. After expe- 
riencing much success, I knew 
that this great fortune could not 
last forever. 

Little did I know that I would 
head full throttle (literally) 
straight toward the lowest point 
of my life. 

At 4:08 a.m. on Dec. 29, 1 had 
a near-fatal car accident along 
route 1-75 just north of Naples, 
Florida. With an injured friend 
falling in and out of conscious- 
ness, and all of my belongings 



DPfNfOti 

torched by the fire, I experi- 
enced the lowest valley in my 
life. 

Although the entire incident 
felt horrible both physically and 
emotionally, I now believe that 
it brought a sense of balance to 
the huge summit I had experi- 
enced just weeks prior. 

My life goes to the extremes, 
and for every super high peak, a 
valley of equal proportion soon 
follows. Some would believe 
that this way of living may be 
harmful, but this is my own per- 
sonal system of balance, and it 
works for me. 

The doldrums can come and 
go at any time, and if you hap- 
pen to experience it, try not to 
worry too much about the nega- 
tive feelings. 

I believe life has a funny way 
of working things out for every- 
one, and we each have our own 
wave patterns for living. The 
next time you find yourself in a 
valley, just think of the peak 
that will soon follow. 

I think that the person who 
made up the phrase "It can't get 
any worse than this," knew a 
peak was next on their life's 
agenda. So, we are pretty bal- 
anced after all.

Letter to the Editor 



Nair Hall resident expresses concern for fellow student 



Dear Editor, 

An article was written last 

semester (TU Ctwim Cat?, 
December 4, 2002) regarding 
the arrest and subsequent 
charges that were filed against 
William Andrew Braatz, better 
known to his friends as Billy. 
The article was both well writ- 
ten and factual and included all 
of the details as seen through 
the eyes of Public Safety. 

I'm writing to supply you 
with the facts that Public 



Safety failed to disclose the 
facts that may make Clarion 
University realize that Billy is 
more than an accused arsonist 
who is facing a ridiculous 
amount of jail time after being 
arrested simply because a 
match was found at the scene 
of the crime. 

To the people who know him 
best, Billy is the Van Wilder of 
Clarion. Even if you don't 
know who he is, chances are he 
has touched your life for the 
better in some way, either 



through his work on Student 
Senate, or by just being a gen- 
uinely good person. He has 
truly made Clarion University a 
place that feels more like 
home. 

Billy is the embodiment of 
the Golden Rule, which for 
those of you who missed out on 
a few lessons on manners is, 
"Do unto others as you would 
have them do unto you." 

If you had a personal prob- 
lem, he was the first one there 
to offer suggestions on fixing

your situation, or just to give 
you a hug and convince you 
that everything would eventu- 
ally work out for the best. 

When it comes to Billy, I 
refuse to merely sit and wait 
for things to work out for the 
best, although I know that the 
best is what he deserves. If I 
can change the preconceptions 
people must have after learning 
that Billy is accused of two 
counts of arson and various 
other charges, then a small part 
of the literally millions of 
things Billy has done for me 
will be repaid. 

The greatest proof of this 
dedication to the place we all 
call home for eight months of 
the year is that during his arrest 
and his night in prison, his 
greatest worry was not the 
$25,000 bail he had to post, but 
being able to take his finals. 

He takes his schoolwork and 
his friendships seriously. The 
people lucky enough to have 
him for a friend are motivated 
to become better people 



because Billy is our role model. 
My request and the point of 
this letter is that you realize the 
truth in the statement, "You 
never know what you have 
until it's gone." 

Please don't take the good 
things in your own lives for 
granted. You never know the 
value of people until they are 
taken from you. 

Realize that William Braatz is 
more than a man out on bail, he 
is a sincere person, a dedicated 
student, and a genuine wonder- 
man. 

He is everything that Clarion 
University expects of a student 
and he should be respected 
enough for his story to be told, 
not just to have his life 
summed up in trumped up 
charges produced on very little 
evidence. 

He is someone worth know- 
ing, and a person all of Nair 
Hall missed greatly every day.

Salsambo entertains despite meager attendance 



by Amanda Cackowski 

.... £!?!???. SfH ?**?. SMS* 

I rush into the warmth of 
Hart Chapel on Saturday, Jan. 
25, letting the door slam, 
leaving the frigid tempera- 
tures behind me. As I'm 
unraveling my winter layers, I 
glance around at the crowd. 
The number of audience mem- 
bers can be counted on both of 
my gloved hands. 

"Wow - I must be early," I 
think as I glance down at my 
watch. Nope, it's 7 p.m. on the 
dot. Where is everyone? I take 
my seat and watch the quintet 
on stage busily tune instru- 
ments and adjust amplifiers. 

A few minutes later, the 
musicians composed them- 
selves before a crowd of now 
nearly 30 people. 

The saxophone player began 
by poking fun at the crowd by 
chirping like a cricket. 
Despite the meager surround- 
ings, the band, cleverly 
referred to as Salsambo, then 
filled Hart Chapel with 
upbeat, melodious "Santana- 
like" music. 

Music Review 



Salsambo blended the 
upbeat Jazz rhythms with the 
sizzling sounds of Latin 
music. The musicians played 
many songs, most of which 
ranged from five to seven 
minutes in their entirety, with 
the aid of such instruments as 
acoustic guitar, bass guitar, 
saxophone, percussion, 

including bongo drums. 

Salsambo enlightened the 
crowd with solos by individ- 
ual instrumentalists that fre- 
quently evoked applause from 
the crowd, even in mid-song. 
Overall, Salsambo provided a 
warm retreat from the below 
zero weather, but now, the 
real review. 

As you have probably 
noticed from my hints of poor 
attendance at this University 
Activities Board sponsored 
event, my critique does not lie 
with the amazing music of 
Salsambo, but with the stu- 
dents of Clarion University. 

As previously mentioned, 
only 30 people attended this 
event, some of which were not 
CU students but members of 
community, which provokes 



this writer to question once 
again: Where was everyone? 

Many students complain that 
there is "nothing to do in 
Clarion." Well sit up and take 
notice because the UAB has 
well over 20 events planned 
this semester with, I'm sure, a 
few more added along the 
way. 



It's hard because we 

put a lot of time and 

money into planning 

[the events] and no one 

shows up. 99 

-Lauren Birkholc 



If the number of events does 
not provoke more students to 
attend, maybe the fact that 
part of the tuition money paid 
to Clarion University each 
semester is directed to make 
these events possible. 

So, for those of you taking 
out loans or struggling to pay 
that tuition bill, get your 
money's worth out of those 
student activity fees and 
attend some events. 



Furthermore, why not spice 
up your dating life by attend- 
ing some of the events provid- 
ed by the UAB. Conventional 
dates are becoming boring - 
the same old dinner and a 
movie? Why not take your 
significant other to a Magic 
Show? Or a Jazz Concert? Or 
even an Ice Skating Trip to 
Pittsburgh? 

The Arts Chair of the 
University Activities Board, 
Lauren Birkholc, shared her 
feelings on the lack of student 
support shown at campus 
events. 

"It's hard because we put a 
lot of time and money into 
planning [the events] and no 
one shows up." Birkholc also 
explained that sometimes it's 
hard to find a time that is con- 
venient for the student and the 
talent as well. 

But more often than not, 
Birkholc plans events around 
a time that is primarily good 
for student attendance. In 
addition, Birkholc pointed out 
that most of these events are 
free or offered at a discount 
price to students. 



"Students don't realize how 
much they would pay to see 
these types of events off cam- 
pus," Birkholc stated. 

Efforts have been put forth 
to encourage student atten- 
dance. Different advertising is 
designed and at some events, 
prizes are even given away 
some of those including free 
trips. 

While some events acquire 
large crowd, more often than 
not, the same faces can be 
seen at many of the UAB 
events. 

Many students and even pro- 
fessors complain about the 
lack of culture in the Clarion 
area. However, the UAB 
works very hard at bringing 
some culture to Clarion 
University for free or at a 
cheap price and students do 
not take advantage of this. 

Therefore, I encourage each 
and every student to attend, at 
the very least, a few events 
this semester. 

Many of people already 
missed out on one special 
event this semester, so don't 
miss out on any more. 



It is hard to find the country in Faith Hill's new ablum "Cry" 



by Anne Golden 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



Country's latest diva, Faith Hill, has left country 
behind almost on her newest CD, "Cry." 

Die-hard Faith fans will be disappointed in the 
grown up pop sound. Only a few of the tracks on the 
LP have a country feel. 

Most of the songs sound like Faith has left 
Nashville behind, for adult contemporary pop. With 
this album, Faith can now be put into the VH1 Diva 
class of adult contemporary female vocalists, 
becoming more like Celine Dion and Diana Ross, 
not Reba McEntire. 

The song, "Cry," which is also the album title and 
the first single, is a beautifully written song that 
Faith performs flawlessly. 

Faith is like many country artists and female 



vocalists, picking and choosing from songs written 
by someone else (in this case Angie Aparo, a male 
vocalist) then turns them into her own. 

Faith does know how to pick them, and has a 
smash, emotional hit about wanting someone to hurt 
as much as she hurts. 

The opening track on the album, "Free," should be 
a hint to listeners that Faith isn't tying herself down 
to the country genre. No steel guitars accompany 
Faith on this track, instead electric guitars fill in. 

"One" starts off confusing, with a pop beat and a 
chorus singing strange "oh's." The deep drum beats 
and Faith's strong vocals turn the song into a sensu- 
al song about starting over. Lyrics of "every evening 
used to be so hot... we forgot... let's start over at 
one." 

"When The Lights Go Down," is the next single 
from the album. Faith chose yet another ballad, but 



/Mm? 



Faith's emotional voice lets her fly and ballads seem 
to suit Faith perfectly. Her voice soars over the cho- 
rus, giving other female vocalists, and country 
artists like Martina McBride a run for their money. 

"Beautiful" is one of the best tracks. The song 
includes verses spoken instead of sung, entwining 
with crying electric guitars. 

This song, about how someone makes you feel 
beautiful, is a sensual song that beats Faith's own 
"Breathe" when it comes to singing about love. The 
verses read like poetry and give goose bumps. 
Familiar sounding to Celine's "Falling Into You," 
except Faith's is sexier. 

"Unsaveable" is the CD's most country sounding 
track, including the steel guitars and twangy chords 
faintly in the background that some listeners might 
crave.

Movie Review 



"Confessions" a directorial success for Clooney 



by Carolyn Kelley 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

George Clooney's directorial 
debut was a success with 
"Confessions of a Dangerous 
Mind," not because it was a great 



movie, because it was directed 
well. The movie itself was under 
two hours but felt much longer. 

The story is about Chuck Barris, 
the creator of such game shows as 
"The Dating Game", "The 
Newlvwed Game", and "The

Gong Show." How does one make 
his life have more substance, and 
enough to have a movie made 
about him? Write an autobiogra- 
phy and throw in that you were a 
hired assassin for the CIA. 

We are first introduced to Chuck 
Barris, as he stands naked in front 
of his hotel room television set. He 
seems to be in some kind of 
trance, not really minding the 
maid vacuuming around him. A 
thick beard has grown in telling us 
that he has secluded himself alone 
for some time now. 

If you didn't get a good enough 
peek at his bare bottom, don't 
worry, there are plenty more 
chances throughout the film to get 
a good stare. 

Sam Rockwell, known best for 
his work in independent films, 
portrays Barris. Rockwell made 
the film worth watching. 

He brings something to the 
screen that is enjoyable to watch, 
not necessarily looks but a ton of 
talent. 

If what he portrayed was true to 
form of what the real Chuck Barris 
was like, then that man must have 
been one entertainer. 

As the story goes we see that the 
only thing Barris wanted his 
whole life was to get on television. 
He did anything he could to get a 
foot in the door. His ideas for 



shows were not always accepted 
right away but he kept at it, and 
finally had a break. 

In the midst of all this chaos he 
is visited by a mystery man named 
Jim Byrd (George Clooney) who 
tells Barris that he has been watch- 
ing him and he fits "the profile". 
We are never told what the profile 
is, but it seems to be a recurring 
joke throughout the film. 

Chuck Barris is then trained to 
be an assassin for the CIA, and he 
completes his missions while 
chaperoning dates from his game 
shows. 

That must explain why winning 
couples were rewarded with dates 
to West Berlin and Helsinki in the 
dead of winter. 

Things start to unravel for Barris 
in a downward spiral, his game 
shows aren't doing well and some' 
insiders in the CIA believe him to 
be a mole that must be dealt with. 
Which brings us full circle to the 
beginning of the movie with 
Barris naked in his hotel room. 
His life's choatic turn has left him 
with no other choice but to start 
the infamous autobiography. 

Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman 
("Being John Malkovich") adapt- 
ed this film from Barris' 1982 
autobiography "Confessions of a 
Dangerous Mind". There isn't 
much plot-wise, but the movie has 



its entertaining moments. In a 
scene from "The Dating Game" 
we see the female contestant 
choosing bachelor # 3, and there- 
by passing up Brad Pitt (don!) and 
Matt Damon. 

Julia Roberts and Drew 
Barrymore also play important 
roles in the film. Barrymore is 
Penny, Chuck's hippie girlfriend 
that puts up with more crap from 
that man than any woman should. 
We watch her character evolve 
throughout the years, always 
remaining the crutch for Barris to 
fall back on. 

Barrymore is always enjoyable 
to watch and this movie is no 
exception. 

Roberts centers in Barris' secret 
CIA life. She is agent Patricia who 
helps occupy a few of the films 
slower moments and the great cli- 
matic ending (yes, I was being sar- 
castic, can't you tell?). 

As I mentioned earlier, Clooney 
did a fantastic job for his first 
directing gig. Although there was- 
n't an-edge-of your-seat plot, the 
film was enjoyable. 

Sam Rockwell will be added to 
the list of actors to watch for his 
superb talent. 

As an endnote, check out the 
film's soundtrack, it seemed to 
have potential in the film to be a 
good one. 



Corraling the iguanas while 




visiting the Virgins 



o 



DAVE BARRY 



Syndicated Writer 



In these times of international tension, 
real news professionals disregard their 
personal safety and head for the world's 
trouble spots. Thus it was that recently I 
traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands, 
where I faced the very real danger that, 
as a journalist in the field, many of my 
expenses would be tax-deductible. 

The Virgin Islands are located in the 
Caribbean, which gets its name from the 
Indian words "Cari," meaning "body of 
water," and "bbean," meaning "that 
makes you really glad your computer 
has a spell checker." 

The Virgin Islands were discovered in 
1493 by Christopher Columbus, who 
wisely elected to remain on the ship 
during the discovery process so as to 
avoid being turned into Purina Shark 
Chow by the people who already lived 
there. 

Before sailing briskly away, 
Columbus named the islands "the 
Virgins" because he thought they looked 
like reclining women, which tells you 
how long HE had been on a non-coedu- 
cational ship. 

Although the islands were originally 
claimed by Spain, over the years they 
belonged to Holland, France, England, 
Denmark, Poland, Wales, Nigeria and 
the New York Yankees farm organiza- 



tion, before they were finally purchased 
by the U.S. government for $25 million, 
which is coincidentally the exact 
amount that I spent down there on 
drinks with names like "Drambuie 
Kablooey." 

This is pretty much how everybody 
passes the time in the Virgin Islands. 
You lie in the sun, listening to the sooth- 
ing sounds of the wind and the surf and 
the precancerous lesions forming on 
your skin. 

The only remotely alarming thing I 
saw during my visit occurred at a small 
outdoor bar at a place called Sapphire 
Beach, where a wedding reception was 
going on, and the bride's bouquet was 
partially eaten by (I am not making this 
up) an iguana. 

There are iguanas everywhere, rough- 
ly the size of squirrels, except that 
instead of being cute and furry, they 
look like cranky midget dinosaurs. They 
stand around all day, glaring and think- 
ing, "If this were 25 million years ago, I 
would eat the whole BRIDE." 

There is also plenty of marine life in 
the Virgin Islands, although due to poor 
planning it is located underwater. 

To see it, you put on rental snorkel 
equipment and paddle around over a 
coral reef, which looks like rock but is 



actually billions of tiny critters called 
"polyps" forming a living organism that 
eats, grows, and, when it feels frisky, 
messes around with another reef to pro- 
duce a new little reeflet. 

The underwater scenery is spectacular, 
and as I floated above it in the warm, 
clear water, I could not help but wonder: 
How many zillion other tourists have 
rented this particular snorkel mask? 
What was their level of nasal hygiene? 

And so I paddled back to the beach, 
where my son, clearly thinking inheri- 
tance, talked me into windsurfing. 

This involves standing on a surfboard 
with a sail attached to it, and then, by 
shifting your weight and pointing the 
sail in a certain direction relative to the 
wind, falling into the water like a sack 
of gravel. I estimate that I got up on the 
surfboard, and immediately fell back 
off, 50 times, in the process traveling 
forward a total of 1 1 feet. 

I was the source of much entertain- 
ment for the people on the beach. Even 
the reef was emitting billions of tiny but 
hearty polyp chuckles, which would be 
a good name for a rock band. 

After I staggered back to the beach, a 
real windsurfer appeared, looking like a 
Greek god, but with a better body. 

He was zipping effortlessly across the 



waves, muscles rippling, and my wife 
was watching him, and I said, "I bet that 
guy couldn't handle the pressure of pro- 
ducing a weekly newspaper column! 
Right? Honey? Right? Hello?" 

So I decided to engage in a manly 
activity that I happen to be quite good 
at: building a sand castle. Not for ME, 
of course. It was for my daughter. 

The problem is that she, being 2, soon 
became bored and wandered off, leaving 
me to work alone, with my little blue 
pail and my little yellow shovel. 

I don't want to boast, but I made a very 
manly castle. I'm sure that Mr. 
Pectorals, out puffing around on his lit- 
tle board, was intimidated, although he 
pretended not to notice. 

But my wife was clearly impressed, 
because later on she accompanied me to 
our room for an intimate -- and some- 
times, frankly, wild — evening of trying 
to get the sand out of our daughter's 
hair. 

And that, in a nutshell, is the situation 
in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In my jour- 
nalistic opinion, it's perfectly safe to 
travel there, as long as you take certain 
common-sense precautions, such as 
iguana-proofing your bouquet. 

Also, if you mess up my castle, you're 
dead.

"Baby You Belong," is 
another ballad, but this one is 
more country. Faith lets her 
Mississippi accent shine on 
the chorus. The song sounds 
pop, but Faith gives it a 
country twist. 

"If You're Gonna Fly Away" 
is an upbeat song that 
includes Faith's roots with a 
gospel influence. The song is 
about depression, and "count- 
ing all your blessings instead 
of all your sorrow." 

The blues-influenced song, 
"Stronger," sounds like an 
oldie. It is still worth listen- 
ing to; just her 'strong' voice 
is reason enough. The guitar 
solo is pretty good as well 
and left out in many songs 
today. 

"If This Is The End" is 
another empowered ballad 
that lets Faith emotions shine 
through. Faith sings so emo- 
tionally on all of the ballads 
on this album, that it makes 



you wonder if she is as happy 
as she appears. 

"This Is Me" is a top 40 
ready song. It reminds listen- 
ers of LeAnn Womack and of 
Faith's early crossover hits 
like "This Kiss" and "The 
Way You Love Me." It is a 
song about being who you are 
and being real. She includes 
another guitar solo, another 
surprise for listeners. 

"Back To You" comes off 
sounding like a hard-rock 
alternative song, but turns 
out to be one of the best 
tracks from the album. 
Roaring electric guitars let 
Faith live out her rock star 
fantasy. 

The lyrics of "I'd try any- 
thing, go anywhere to find 
my way back to you" are sim- 
ply about wanting forgive- 
ness. Another great guitar 
solo lets loose right in "Back 
To You" before Faith belts 
out the strong chorus. 



Her adlibs on this track are 
R&B worthy as well. The sur- 
prise ending of strings let it 
flow to a more pop sound. 

"I Think I Will" is an ori- 
ent-inspired track that 
includes a catchy bridge. 

That leads into the ending 
track, the oboe introduced 
"You're Still Here." The 
orchestra instruments let it 
slip however, making it 
sound Barbara Streisand-like. 
Overall, die-hard Faith fans 
might think she sold out and 
gave into the demand of pop 
radio. Faith is naturally pro- 
gressing from country diva 
into a real diva. 

This album shows that she 
can hold her own, and she is 
consciously making the 
choice to sing songs that she 
wants to sing. The country is 
hard to find, so do not be dis- 
appointed when you have to 
search for some country 
twang.

Super Bowl scheduled to be 
played in February of 2004

KRT Campus 



No longer, as happened with the 
Buccaneers this year, will the 
coaches stay behind when the team 

The Super Bowl, long a fixture of flj es t0 t he site. The reason they 

the last Sunday in January, is mov- ^ s0 9 j get j n \i extra hours of 

ing next year to February, where it wor k on t he game plan, 

will be staying for a while. "The Super Bowl has gotten so 

Super Bowl XXXVIII in big the game, the hoopla, the 

Houston is set for Feb. I, 2004, wno | e thing that it has to be two 

and the subsequent games for Feb. we eks," said John Madden, the 

6, 2005, in Jacksonville, Fla., and ABC analyst and former Oakland 

for Feb. 5, 2006, in Detroit. Raiders coach. 

Only one previous game in Super j ma k e j t otherwise, as was the 
Bowl history has taken place in case tn j s year, isn't fair to the par- 
February and that happened only ticipants or to the losers of the con- 
because the NFL postponed a ference championship games, 
week of play after the attacks of »So Tennessee and Philadelphia, 
Sept. II, 200 1. they have to feel like fools now 
The shift of the big game to ma t they went through what they 
February is the result of several had to do for the Super Bowl, and 
factors related to scheduling. mey didn't use any of it," said 

One is the move the league made Madden. 



several years ago to shift the open- 
ing weekend of the season later so 
that it no longer would coincide 
with Labor Day weekend, when 
many fans are otherwise occupied 
and television ratings are often 
low. 

A second was the decision to 
retain the regular-season bye 
week, instituted in 1992. It became 
essential when the league went to 
an odd number of teams, 31, with 
the addition of the Cleveland 
Browns in 1999. 

The bye could have been elimi- 
nated this season with the arrival 
of the 32nd team, the Houston 
Texans. 

Playing 16 games over 17 weeks 



For fans who might like to attend 
a Super Bowl, life also becomes 
much easier. There will be less 
need to go through the logistical 
gymnastics that Eagles fans expe- 
rienced this month, making nonre- 
fundable airplane reservations and 
putting deposits on travel packages 
without knowing whether the team 
was going to make it. 

As for the contest itself, the evi- 
dence suggests that the two-week 
layoff is not conducive to high- 
quality football. 

Even including the blowout on 
Sunday, the seven games played 
without the layoff have been more 
competitive with an average mar- 
gin of victory being 12 points than 



allows the league an extra week of tne 30 games played with it (17 
television without an increase in points). 



the total number of games. 

Finally, the league has decided to 
go back to the traditional two- 
week gap between the conference 
championship games and the 
Super Bowl. 

The one-week interval of the last 
two years was the result, in part, of 
the move to start the regular season 
later; Super Bowl dates for several 
years, including this one, had been 
locked in and couldn't be changed. 



Moving the game into February 
has implications on other fronts. 

It has already forced the NBA 
and NHL to make sure their All- 
Star Games avoid conflicts with 
the Super Bowl and the NFL Pro 
Bowl. Next year, for instance, the 
NBA game is to take place a week 
later than usual, the NHL contest a 
week earlier. 

For television, the shift means 
the game will take place during the 



What difference does any of this February sweeps period, when rat- 
make? For the participating teams, j ngs are tabulated in each of the 



restoring the pre-Super Bowl week 
off is a plus, even if it does double 
the time available for the hype. 

The extra week means that no 
longer will teams have to do what 



nation's 210 television markets. 
Those ratings help determine what 
local stations can charge advertis- 
ers for locally purchased air time. 
Having the Super Bowl during 



the Eagles have had to do the last sweeps could provide an advan- 
tage for the network that telecasts 



two seasons devote considerable 
time and effort to dealing with 
tickets, transportation, housing, 
and entertainment for a Super 
Bowl in which they wound up not 
playing.

Courtesy of 
KRT Campus 



I he Super Howl, long a fixturi 
the last Sunday in January, is mov- 
ing next year to February, where it 
will be staving lor a while 

Super Bowl WW III in 
Houston is set lor Feb. I. 2004, 
and the subsequent games for Feb. 
6, 2005, in Jacksonville, 1 la . and 
for Feb. 5, 2006. in Detroit. 

Only one previous game in Super 
Bowl history has taken place in 
February and that happened only 
because the NFL postponed a 
week of play after the attacks of 
Sept. 11,2001. 

The shift of the big game to 
February is the result of several 
factors related to scheduling. 

One is the move the league made 
several years ago to shift the open- 
ing weekend of the season later so 
that it no longer would coincide 
with Labor Day weekend, when 
many fans are otherwise occupied 
and television ratings are often 
low. 

A second was the decision to 
retain the regular-season bye 
week, instituted in 1992. It became 
essential when the league went to 
an odd number of teams. 31, with 
the addition ol the Cleveland 
Browns in 1999 

The bye could have been elimi- 
nated this season with the arrival 
of the 32nd team, the Houston 

■ 

Playing 16 games over 17 we 
allows the league an extra week ol 
television without an increase in 
the total number ol games. 

Finally, the league has decided to 
go back to the traditional two- 
week gap between the conference 
championship games and the 
Super Bowl. 

The one-week interval of the last 
two years was the result, in part, ol 
the move to start the regular season 
later: Super Bowl dates for several 
years, including this one, had been 
locked in and couldn't be changed. 

What difference does any of this 
make? For the participating teams, 
restoring the pre-Super Bowl week 
off is a plus, even if it does double 
the time available for the hype. 

The extra week means that no 
longer will teams have to do what 
the Eagles have had to do the last 
two seasons devote considerable- 
time and effort to dealing with 
transportation, hou 
ntertaini super 

Bow! in which they wound up not 
play ing. 



V 

Buct 

coaches stav behind when tlu team 
flies to the site I he reason they 
did so? lei get in 12 extra hours ol 
work on the game plan. 

" 1 he Super Bowl has gotten so 
big the game, the hoopla, the 
whole thing that it has to be two 
weeks," said John Madden, the 
ABO analyst and former Oakland 
Raiders coach. 

Po make it otherwise, as was the 
ease this year, isn't fair to the par- 
ticipants or to the losers of the con- 
ference championship games. 

"So lennessee and Philadelphia, 
they have to feel like fools now 
that they went through what they 
had to do for the Super Bowl, and 
they didn't use any of it," said 
Madden. 

For fans who might like to attend 
a Super Bowl, life also becomes 
much easier. There will be less 
need to go through the logistical 
gymnastics that Eagles fans expe- 
rienced this month, making nonre- 
fundable airplane reservations and 
putting deposits on travel packages 
without knowing whether the team 
was going to make it. 

As for the contest itself, the evi- 
dence suggests that the two-week 
layoff is not conducive to high- 
qualit) football. 

Even including the blowout on 
Sunday, the seven games played 
without the lav oil have been more 
competitive with an average mar- 

n ol v ictoty being 12 point 
the 30 games played a\ 
points). 

Moving the game into I ebruary 
has implications on other fronts. 

It has already forced the NBA 
and M1E to make sure their All- 
Star Games avoid conflicts with 
the Super Bowl and the NFL Pro 
Bowl. Next year, for instance, the 
NBA game is to take place a week 
later than usual, the NHL contest a 
week earlier. 

For television, the shift means 
the game will take place during the 
February sweeps period, when rat- 
ings are tabulated in each of the 
nation's 210 television markets. 
Those ratings help determine what 
local stations can charge advertis- 
ers lor locally purchased air time. 
Having the Super Bowl during 
sweeps could provide an advan- 
tage for the network that telecasts 
the gap.

John is a tri-captain for the Golden Eagle wrestling squad this year. He currently 

holds an impressive 30-2 record for the 2002-03 season. Over the winter break, 

Testa surpassed the 100th career win mark. He recently captured his fourth straight 

PSAC title at heavyweight at the PSAC championships in Millersville.

If you would ask any Clarion 
women's basketball player who 
might be their biggest rival, nine 
times out often the answer would 
say IUP. 

Well, for the Clarion University 
Women's Basketball, their biggest 
rival came into town last Saturday 
night in a major PSAC show- 
down. 

The last time these two teams 
met, Clarion defeated the Indians 
of IUP 86-73, so IUP was coming 
in looking for revenge. 

In the last four years, Clarion 
and IUP have spilt their series. 
The game remained close coming 
down to the last few seconds 
when senior Alison Stodart hit a 
three-point shot which looked to 
be the game winning basket. 

With .5 seconds left, Clarion 
took a 77-75 lead with Stodart's 
shot, however, the referees called 



a technical on the Lady Eagles for 
rushing the court with time still 
remaining on the clock. IUP made 
both shots which sent the game 
into overtime. 

With a hard fought five minute 
OT between both teams, IUP bare- 
ly escaped with the victory with a 
95-92 win over Clarion. 
Sophomore Heather Cigich had an 
impressive and career high dou- 
ble-double with 37 points and 18 
rebounds. Senior Tameka 
Washington added 18 points and 
was 6 for 8 at the foul line, while 
teammate junior Sher-ree Glover 
had 11 points. 

"I thought that all the team gave 
an incredible effort. The ladies 
played their hearts out and 
deserved to win," said Head 
Coach "Gie" Parsons. 

The Lady Golden Eagles (11- 
7,1-2) return back to Tippin Gym 
on Saturday as they take on the 
Raiders of Shippensburg at 1 p.m. 



Men's and Women's Swimming goes 1-1 at West Chester tri-meet 



by Bethany Bankovich

Clarion's Men's and Women's 
Swimming and Diving teams 
headed back into action over the 
weekend at West Chester 
University for a tri-meet against 
West Chester and Southern 
Connecticut State University. 

The meet kicked off on Friday 
evening with the mile and con- 
cluded on Saturday with the 400 
freestyle Relay. Both the men's

overall. The men's team lost to 



West Chester by a score of 138.5- 
226.5 and beat Southern 
Connecticut 210.5-159.5, while 
the women lost by a score of 1 15- 
209 against West Chester and 
defeated Southern Connecticut 
281-83. 

Several Golden Eagles man- 
aged to finish in the top three 
during the meet beginning with 
Missy Baer's third and Brian 
Nicholas's second place finishes 
in the 1650 freestyle. The next 
top three finished were in the 
men's and women's 200 yard

break 




by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call I Sports Editor # 

While the students of Clarion 
University were home enjoying 
their relaxing, semester break, 
Clarion's winter athletes took a 
quick trip home for holidays before 
returning to a "dead" campus so 
they could resume practicing and 
competitions. 

The Men's and Women's 
Basketball teams as well as the 
Wrestling and Swimming and 
Diving teams sacrifice their semes- 
ter breaks year afer year due to 
being in season when break comes 
along. 

These athletes are the last ones 
leave and the first ones to return. 

While campus is quite and not 
much is going on, they find things 
to do to pass the time in between 
practices and games. 

Although, being home with 
friends and family doesn't compare 
much to a night at Destinta theatre 
with your teammates and coach. 

However, if they didn't love their 
sport they wouldn't be here when 
everyone else is not. 

One of the major disadvantages of 
being in season over the break may 
be the lack in fans support because 
of students being home for 



break. We know that parents and rel- 
atives might travel the distance to 
see these athletes play, but it's the 
student support that lacks over 
those five weeks. 

So, in case you didn't make the 
trip to see any of Clarion's winter 
sports team compete over the break, 
here is a recap of what has been 
going on with Clarion University's 
winter athletic programs th over the 
last few weeks. 
MEN'S BASKETBALL: 

The Men's Basketball team has 
been quite a surprise. With such 
young talent, some were skeptic of 
how much success they would have, 
but according to their now 13-3 
record, seems that things our going 
well on the court for the Golden 
Eagles. 

Over the break they posted a 7-1 
record with their only loss being to 
Cheyney 84-70, which was in over- 
time. 

They also defeated California in 
their first PSAC-West contest. 
Several players on the team 
received honors during the break. 

Senior captain, Rollie Smith 
received PSAC Player of the Week 
honors not once, not twice, but 
three times over the last five weeks. 
Terrance Vaughns earned Rookie of 
the Week honors for his efforts in 



mid-December's contests. 

The Golden Eagles Men's basket- 
ball team looks forward to hitting 
the court infront of the home crowd 
as they look to make a big run in 
the second half of the season with 
some major PSAC-West games 
coming up. 
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: 

The Lady Eagle Basketball team 
went 6-5 over the break and contin- 
ue to get stronger as a single unit 
through each game they play. The 
team had the opportunity to get out 
of the cold weather and traveled to 
Florida to particiapte in the Barry 
Tournament for a few days. 
However, they lost two close games 
in the tournament. Although, upon 
returning back to PSAC action, they 
won four straight including a victo- 
ry over Mansfield in overtime.. 
WRESTLING: 

The Golden Eagle Wrestling 
squad has also been very successful 
over the last month. During the 
break they went 8-2 with their only 
two losses coming at the Clarion 
Duals on December 15 and to 
Indiana- Bloomington at the Ohio 
State Duals. 

At OSU Rad Martinez(133) and 
John Testa(HWT) went 4-0 on the 
day while Frankie Edgar(141) and 
Eric Maussar(197) went 3-1. 



Testa and Maussar also hit mile- 
stones in their careers at Clarion 
over break as they both surpassed 
the 100 career win mark. Testa and 
Maussar currently rank 7th and 8th 
respectively in the record books for 
most career wins. 
SWIMMING AND DIVING: 

Clarion's Swimming and Diving 
teams spent part of their break 
training in Ft. Lauderdale. They 
spent two weeks, swimming, run- 
ning, and lifting. They also partici- 
apted in the annual Forum meet, 
however, it was an unofficaiated 
meet. 

From looking back on what we all 
missed when we were home for 
break, it seems that Clarion 
University fans are in for some 
excitement as all of our winter ath- 
letic teams look to make runs for 
either playoffs berths or bids to 
Nationals. Don't forget to come 
out and supports all of CU's winer 
athletic programs. 

The Clarion Call wishes all of our 
winter athletes good luck in the 
second half of their seasons!

Organizations express concerns for proposed policy 



by Sharvil Desai 

Clarion Call 

Student Senate Reporter 

Student concerns about the 
line-item budget proposal were 
heard at Monday's Student 
Senate meeting. 

Representatives from the 
French Club, German Club and 
the Political Science Association 
asked for justification, and 
amendments to the initiative. 

The proposed policy would 
allow student funded organiza- 
tions to receive only fixed alloca- 
tions of money for defined pur- 
poses and categories of expendi- 



ture, rather than a large sum of 
money that the organization 
could freely use for any reason. 

Line-item budgeting controls 
the organization's use of funding 
by restricting budgetary expendi- 
tures to outlined categories like 
travel, lodging and food. 

"It's been a goal of Student 
Senate for years, and we now 
have the accounting software to 
make this possible. The main 
goal of this policy is to increase 
the accountability of organiza- 
tions," said Student Senate 
President Mike Phillips. 

If line-item budgeting is passed 
Student Senate would have 
approval over all funded activi- 



ties in organizations. 

Therefore, organizations that 
participate in small, regular 
activities may receive more 
funding than organizations, 
which may want to use their 
funds for one or two expensive 
trips. 

"It's all about your justifica- 
tion," said Student Senate 
Parliamentarian Amy Cohen. 

Phillips said the organization 
should state why Senate should 
allocate money for a seemingly \ 
irrelevant event, and justify why 
a single trip, for example, serves 
the overall purpose of the organi- 
zation.

The crew of the space shuttle "Columbia" lost contact with NASA sometime 
before 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 1. The investigation continues to try to find out 
what malfunctioned in the shuttle. 



Political Science Association 
(PSA) said that Student Senate is 
"prejudiced" against organiza- 
tions that take trips. 

George Rutherford, represent- 
ing PSA, insisted, "the needs of 
all organizations are not the 
same." He also said that in the 
case of PSA a few political sci- 
ence conferences are more rele- 
vant than many small "pizza par- 
ties." 

Representatives from the 
French Club voiced their concern 
about the line-item policy. A rep- 
resentative of the French Club 
asked whether budgetary expen- 
ditures can be shifted from their 
original intentions, or whether 
organizations have to approach 
Senate each time a change needs 
to be made. 

In response to the inquiry, 
Phillips said organizations have 
to decide before each semester 
the categories in which bud- 
getary spending will fall, but 
changes can be expected, and it 
is required for an organization to 
approach Senate if the organiza- 
tion believes a change is neces- 
sary. 

If a change is needed, a budget 
hearing will take place. 

Phillips stood by the policy. He 
explained that a club that tries to 
follow the rules and try utilizing 
money outside of category con- 
straints for expensive, irrelevant 
trips, would lose its funding. 

This same money would then 
go to clubs that follow the rules 
and utilize their funding for sig- 
nificant purposes within the con- 
straints of line-item policy 
requirements. 

In addition, CSA funded orga- 
nizations will be separated into 
three catagories for funding pur- 
poses only, Phillips said. 

The first category is the 
"Athletics and Administrative" 
category. The category includes 
organizations that produce a 
product or provide a type of per-

formance or demonstration of 
talents, Phillips explained. 

The next group is 
"Programming." These groups 
are those groups that are respon- 
sible for campus-wide program- 
ming, Phillips said. 

The final group is known as 
"Co-curricular." These organiza- 
tions are special interest groups 
that are academically minded. 
Phillips said. 

'*We*re not labeling organiza- 
tions into to categories to be 
biased in the way that wo oper- 
ate. It is strictly for funding pur- 
poses only," Phillips stressed.

Clarion Call News Editor 

The second round of presiden- 
tial candidates visited campus 
this week. 

Dr. Kyle R. Carter spoke 
Monday in Hart Chapel. 

Carter holds both a Ph.D. and 
M.A. in Educational Psychology 
from the University of Georgia 
and a B.A. in Psychology from 
Mercer University in Macon, 
Georgia. 

He is Provost and Vice 
President for Academic Affairs at 
Central Missouri State 

University. 

Carter explained why he is 
attracted to Clarion and what 
qualities he possesses to serve as 
president. 

Carter was attracted to Clarion 
first for its size. 

It is truly a reasonable size to 
get to know the students said 
Carter. 

"This is truly an institution that 
is unique among colleges and 
universities right now," said 
Carter. 

Several of Clarion's qualities 
also impressed Carter. 

"You like to change. You are 
proactive," said Carter. "You 
truly are focused on doing the 
best job you can." 

Carter believes his experience 
in the university setting will 
benefit Clarion. 

"My entire career has been 
spent at institutions like 
Clarion," said Carter. "I think I 
understand the culture of this 
institution." 

When asked how he gets to 
know people, Carter replied, "I 
need to put people into context 
and add to that." 

Carter said that he needs to 
know people on an individual 
and personal basis. 

Carter was also asked about his 
administration style. 



"I don't like to get into people's 
faces and tell them what to do," 
said Carter. 

He added that his administra- 
tion style has developed over the 
years working with people. 

"I like to develop a sense of 
community inside the organiza- 
tion," said Carter. 

According to Carter, Missouri 
State University has been work- 
ing with the African American 
Board of Governors for the past 
year to recruit African American 
students. 

"We'll see if it pays off in this 
next freshman class," said 
Carter. 

Overall, Carter is impressed 
with all that Clarion has to offer. 
"I've been Provost for five 
years," said Carter. "I get to a 
point where I need a different 
challenge. It's the next best step 
for me." 

Dr. Barry Dorsey spoke 
Wednesday about what attracts 
him to Clarion and why he 
believes he would be a strong 
president. 

Dorsey received an Ed.D. in 
Higher Education Administration 
from The University of Virginia, 
M.A. in International Relations 
from the American University, 
and B.A. in Political Science 
from Wake Forest University. 

Dorsey is president of Rio 
Grande University in Rio 
Grande, Ohio. 

Early on Dorsey was not a can- 
didate, but the environment 
changed his mind. 

"The environment is similar to 
my institution," said Dorsey. 
"Both have budget challenges 
and future demographic prob- 
lems." 

Clarion's future goals attracted 
Dorsey as well. 

Dorsey mentioned several 
future goals such as increasing 
enrollment* endowment and dis- 
tance learning and better market-

to 



ing the institution. 

"I've been involved in all these 
goals," said Dorsey. "We're 
doing all the same things." 

In addition. Clarion's excel- 
lence enticed Dorsey. 

"You're certainly well-known," 
said Dorsey. 

Dorsey feels qualified to serve 
as Clarion's next president. 

"I bring 35 years in higher edu- 
cation," 

Half of those years were spent 
at the institution level with the 
rest being spent at the state level. 

Dorsey believes his experience 
in fundraising will benefit 
Clarion. 

He raised more than $9.2 mil- 
lion from 1993-97. 

"These private funds provide 
the margin of excellence that will 
make any institution great," said 
Dorsey. 

Like Carter, Dorsey has experi- 
ence recruiting African 
Americans to Rio Grande 
University. 

He hired the first African 
American Dean of Students and 
appointed the first African 
American to the board. 

"I've always been committed 
to affirmative action programs," 
said Dorsey. "It's very difficult 
to attract minority faculty to the 
area of Southeast Ohio." 

Dorsey was later asked about 
graduation and retention rates. 

"Graduation and retention rates 
are a problem at all our institu- 
tions," said Dorsey. "There are 
no easy answers for retaining 
students." 

According to Dorsey, Missouri 
State received a $1.7 million 
grant to target retention and 
advising. 

"Retention involves intrusive 
advising," said Dorsey. 

Dorsey believes he has a strong 
managmenet style. 

"I like to make decisions 
through consensus when possi- 
ble," said Dorsey. "I don't hesi- 
tate to make a decision when 
only the president can make a 
decision." 

Dorsey described himself as a 
"walk around manager." 

Faculty are more likely to 
express their thoughts and con- 
cerns to a walk around manager 
as opposed to being called to the 
president's office said Dorsey. 

Dorsey says the key to a good 
president is experience. 

"I consider myself to be a 
transformational and entrepre- 
neurial president.' said Dorsey. 
"I can come here and hit the 
ground running."

LUFKIN, Texas _ While paus- 
ing with the nation to remem- 
ber seven heroes, teams 
searching for their remains 
and scattered spacecraft 
pressed ahead Tuesday, count- 
ing among their finds a cock- 
pit seat, part of the landing 
gear and a uniform patch with 
a Star of David. 

The recovery of debris and 
body parts from the space 
shuttle Columbia escalated 
across East Texas and into 
Louisiana, as authorities 
added people and tools to the 
task of piecing together what 
happened in the sky Saturday 
morning. 

The job ahead seems gargan- 
tuan, but searchers are making 
progress, authorities said. 

"We're very pleased with the 
way this is going," said Greg 
Cohrs, director of the ground 
search in Sabine County. "This 
is a huge task." 

Searchers have checked 400 
reported debris sites in the 
county, but have covered less 
than 5 of the 1,000 square 
miles targeted for exploration, 
he said. 

The hunt will go on "as long 
as it takes or as long as NASA 
asks us to," said Marcus 
Beard, a U.S. Forest Service 
district ranger. 

By Tuesday afternoon, more 
than 12,000 pieces of the 
obliterated craft had been col- 
lected in Texas, said Win 
Henderson, a spokesman for 
the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency. 

State and federal authorities 
say shuttle debris has been 
found in 38 Texas counties and 
19 Louisiana parishes. 

The Environmental 
Protection Agency had gath- 
ered 118 bags of debris from 
74 Texas locations, Henderson 
said. The collections include 



37 sites in Ellis County. In 
Louisiana, 22 of 36 locations 
had been cleared, he said. 

Federal authorities were try- 
ing to verify reported debris in 
California, Arizona and 
Nevada - evidence that could 
shed light on the breakup's 
earliest moments. 

Besides finding the Star of 
David patch - presumably that 
of Israeli astronaut Ilan 
Ramon- Louisiana residents 
have also found one of the 
spacecraft's engines. 

Debris sites near 17 Texas 
schools have been cleared, 
Henderson said, and classes 
resumed Tuesday at 31 schools 
closed because of possible 
contamination. 

All items will end up at 
Barksdale Air Force Base near 
Shreveport. Interim collection 
sites have been established at 
the former Carswell Air Force 
Base in Fort Worth and at 
National Guard Camp 
Beauregard near Alexandria, 
La. 

Local residents are joining 
almost 2,000 Texas National 
Guard troops and federal, state 
and local investigators in 
combing pastures, woods and 
lakes, authorities said. 

The Texas National Guard 
has deployed 486 soldiers 
around Nacogdoches and 
Lufkin while the Texas 
Department of Public Safety 
has dispatched more than 350 
officers. 

Civilian support teams from 
Arkansas, Oklahoma and New 
Mexico are helping with the 
Texas search. Equipment 
includes 18 helicopters from 
the Texas Air National Guard, 
two DPS aircraft and a field 
kitchen provided by Texas 
Baptist Men. 

Divers from the Texas 
Department of Public Safety 
used sonar at Toledo Bend 
Reservoir on the Texas- 
Louisiana border, where a 



fisherman reported the splash- 
down of a car-sized object on 
Saturday. 

A cellular phone provider is 
dispatching crews to install 
temporary towers to respond 
to a demand for better commu- 
nications in remote areas. 

Early Wednesday, more than 
three dozen volunteers with 
global-positioning equipment 
plan to comb the thick woods 
in San Augustine County. The 
tool links with satellites to 
pinpoint locations and will aid 
in mapping debris. 

More than 40 people 
responded to a call for help 
from Stephen F. Austin 
University in Nacogdoches 
and San Augustine County 
officials, said Van Bush, 911 
coordinator for the county. 

A mobile command post 
from Dallas/Fort Worth 
International Airport has been 
in Lufkin since Saturday. 
Workers, equipped with 11 
computer terminals, have 
logged calls on more than 800 
debris sites, said airport Fire 
Chief Alan Black. 

In Sabine County, 60 sol- 
diers in camouflage gear made 
their way down both sides of 
State Highway 148. They 
walked through a thicket of 
bushes and trees, hopped a 
chicken wire fence into a junk- 
yard of cars and passed a row 
of abandoned buildings. 

The soldiers parked several 
trucks in front of Murlene 
Seago's home. Seago said she 
wondered how they would find 
what they were searching for. 

"I have a bunch of junk cars 
behind my house," she said. 
"The whole shuttle could be 
back there and they'd never 
find it." 

Nacogdoches County Sheriff 
Thomas Kerss said recovery 
teams had cleared about 30 
debris sites in the county by 
Tuesday morning. "We have 
found more key components,"

he said, including a cockpit 
seat mostly intact. 

In Sabine County, searchers 
found more human remains 
Tuesday, but Sheriff Tom 
Maddox declined to elaborate. 

"Our top priority has been 
finding human remains," he 
said. "We will search until 
everything is removed." 

More than 800 searchers, 
supported by aircraft, exam- 
ined 350 sites located on 
Monday. 

The VFW hall in Hemphill 
has become Sabine County's 
staging center for 46 govern- 
ment agencies and volunteers. 

Each day's crews organize at 
daybreak and head out by 7:30 
a.m. CST. On Tuesday, people 
stocked the hall's long tables 
with food for the searchers. 
The spread included fried 
chicken, homemade gumbo, 
potato salad, chicken spaghet- 
ti, barbecue and dozens of 
cakes and pies. Schoolchildren 
dropped off sandwiches. 

"This is a pretty amazing 
community here," said Mike 
Perry, a sergeant with the 
Salvation Army in Temple, 
Texas, who worked in New 
York after the terrorist attacks. 



In San Augustine County, 
crews began collecting debris 
for the first time Tuesday, con- 
centrating in an area near State 
Highway 103 and a rural 
church where many of the 
astronauts' remains have been 
recovered. 

"That was a relief that they 
finally started," said County 
Judge Wayne Holt. 

He said the materials were 
being brought in by the pick- 
up-load by Tuesday evening 
and would be stored in an old 
livestock show barn in San 
Augustine. 

Besides reclaiming human 
remains, the goal is to recon- 
struct what can be found of the 
shuttle. 

Investigators said they are 
particularly interested in 
recovering computer and other 
electronic components. But it 
remained unclear how much of 
the wreckage would be found 
or what value the evidence 
would retain. 

The National Transportation 
Safety Board is assisting in the 
investigation. 

"We hope there is an 
answer," said Keith Holloway, 
an agency spokesman.

C.U.P. students mourn the loss of seven 
astronauts aboard Columbia 



by Karen Ruth 
Clarion CtU Staff Writer ^ 

like most people around the 
world. Clarion University stu- 
dents are mourning the tragic 
demise oi seven astronauts killed 
Saturday morning when the space 
shuttle, Columbia, exploded 
shortly before it was supposed to 
land, causing debris to spread 
throughout eastern Texas. 

Six Americans and one Israeli, 
the first to ever enter outer space, 
were supposed to land at 8:16 
Central time. 

"It is a tragedy. I feel bad for the 
families who lost loved ones in 
the explosion," said senior 
Communication Sciences and 
Disorders major, Erin Cassidy. 

Senior Computer Information 
Science major Joe Fiedor 
expressed similar regrets. "I think 
it's tragic, especially since the 
astronauts were exploring the 
great unknown." 



This is not the first space disas- 
ter that university students have 
endured. Many students have 
vague recollections oi' the 1986 
Challenger explosion. 

Senior Business major Matt 
Seifert wonders "why after fifteen 
years have they not worked out 
the kinks so these problems don't 
happen." 

Undecided sophomore Tim 
Dixon agrees. "I think they knew 
of the problems before the flight 
took off and they ignored them 
because the U.S. has a tendency 
to do things they shouldn't any- 
way." 

Heavy media coverage of the 
explosion existed, as to be expect- 
ed. "I think the media clings to 
and exploits tragic events, and 
fails to recognize the positive 
ones," said Fiedor. 

Sophomore Business major, 
Chad Horner, expressed distaste 
about the exploits of Texas citi- 
zens who have placed debris from

clings to and exploits 
tragic events and fails 
to recognize the posi- 
tive ones. §9 

-Joe Fiedor 



the shuttle up for bid on the online 
auction site, Ebay. "Man, some 
people are just twisted," said 
Horner. 

However, most students are just 
praying for the families and 
friends of the seven astronauts, 
who made calls to their families 
less than twenty-four hours before 
the explosion. 

The latest details about the 
flight, which went off without a 
hitch on January 16, state that 
NASA was warned in 1994 that 
there was damage to the wing of 
the spacecraft.

Local Experts Tabbed for 
American Red Cross Events 



The Allegheny Region Chapter of the American Red Cross is 
readying for the first annual Antique Appraisal Fair, to be held 
on Sunday, Feb. 23 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Clarion Holiday 
Inn Ballroom. 

Local experts including Tom Cyphert from Lucinda, Mary 
Hamilton from Rimersburg and Bob and Claire Schmieler of 
Emlenton are contributing their time as well as expertise at 
this year's event. 

Area residents are invited to come to this event resembling 
the "Antiques Roadshow," where they can bring up to three 
items for appraisal for only a $20 donation to the local Red 
Cross. No pre-registration is necessary. 

The Antique Appraisal Fair presents an opportunity for the 
community to support the Red Cross. In carrying out its mis- 
sion of providing relief to victims of disasters and helping peo- 
ple prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies, the local 
American Red Cross provides 24-hour caring, compassionate 
response to house fires, floods, winter storms and other dis- 
asters that can happen in Clarion County. This Red Cross 
release usually takes place in the form of food, clothing and a 
warm place to stay and is offered free of charge. 



C.U.P. Foundation buys former L&R building 



by Kristina Spinneweber 

Clarion Call 

Contributing Writer 

Clarion University 
Foundation, Inc. bought the for- 
mer L&R building on Main 
Street on January 16. The build- 
ing will be transformed into the 
new Clarion University Health 
Science Education Center. 

General contractors Mistick 
PBT of Pittsburgh will begin 
work within the next few weeks 
to transform the building into a 
state-of-the-art health education 
center for school-age children 
from Venango, Armstrong, 
Butler, Clarion, Elk, Forest, and 
Jefferson counties. The school 
districts will send children on 
whole or half-day field trips to 
the Center. 

The Health Education Center 
will fill its three floors and 
1 1,000 square feet of space with 
three high-tech classrooms, a 
reception area, a general meet- 
ing center, a resource library,' 
and many interactive exhibi- 
tions. The building is intended 
to supplement the current health 
education program, which is 
mobile. 

According to the Clarion 
University Newswire, the build- 
ing will also get an addition and 
a parking lot in the rear of the 
property. 

Dr. Nancy Falvo, the project 
direction, told Clarion 
University Newswire "the facili- 
ty will be comparable to centers

in Pittsburgh, Chicago and the 
Smithsonian in Washington, 
D.C." 

Area- residents are looking for- 
ward to the public open house 
that will be scheduled after work 
on ihe building is completed. 
Mariann Scott, a longtime 
Clarion resident, said, "It will be 
great to have this kind of infor- 
mation available to our children, 
Obesity is such a growing prob- 
lem in our country, and this is 
exactly the sort of step we need 
to take to fix it." 

The Center's programs will 
meet National Health Education 
Standards, which are skills and 
knowledge necessary for chil- 
dren in kindergarten through 
twelfth grade. These are non- 
mandatory guidelines. Some of 
the things students will learn 
include where to look for health 
information, products, or ser- 
vices; examining the relation- 
ships between physical and men- 
tal health; how a person's 
behavior affects his health; and 
more. 

These guidelines are very spe- 
cific at each grade level.

Theta Chi fraternity prohibits alcohol on its property 



by Lisa Covington 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Theta Chi fraternity will no 
longer allow alcohol in its house 
or on its property as of July 
2003. Theta Chi locally and 
nationally will be a substance- 
free fraternity. 

According to the official Theta 
Chi Fraternity website, within 



the past ten years fraternities, 
including Theta Chi and other 
fraternities, have been experi- 
encing obstacles such as a 
decline in members, low grades, 
an ongoing number of members 
who violate regulations, and 
occurrences involving alcohol. 
A number of international and 
national fraternities will also be 



enforcing an alcohol-free hous- 
ing policy to rebuild their repu- 
tations. 

"This is a positive change that 
will attract more students and 
downplay negative stereotypes 
(of fraternities)," said Shawn 
Hoke, assistant director of cam- 
pus life.

ondary education social studies 
major, thinks the rule is a good 
idea. 

"It's fair," said Dorsey. "If 
other fraternities can keep it 
under control, they should too. 
They should know the rules and 
regulations to follow." 

Hoke works with Clarion's 
Greek Life, and expressed that 
students will not be heavily 
impacted by the new rule since 
several Greek organizations have 
initiated the alcohol-free policy. 

Prior to 2001, Phi Delta Theta 
has already implemented sub- 
stance-free housing for its frater- 
nity and Theta Chi will be 



applying the same regulation. 

"A college living environment 
that is free of alcohol can be 
cleaner, safer and more con- 
ducive to learning and healthy 
personal development than an 
environment in which alcohol is 
present, as has been demonstrat- 
ed by a growing number of fra- 
ternity chapter facilities," as 
stated on the North American 
Interfraternity Conference's 
website. 

On campus and across the 
country Theta Chi expects that 
this initiative will raise recruit- 
ment and provide academic 
improvement among members.

I wonder if any of the 
astronauts asked themselves, 
"Will I be remembered for 
this trip?" 

I think one of the biggest 
fears in doing something 
great is that it will be for- 
gotten. After all, many other 
missions to space have been 
successful and the general 
public barely remembers 
them. 

Now, we remember this 
mission. 

We remember the astro- 
nauts not only because of the 
tragic ending in their mis- 
sion, but because for the last 
few days we have seen their 
pictures. 

We have seen pictures and 
film footage of when the 
astronauts were children 
who had big dreams; pic- 
tures and film footage of 
them in space living their 
dreams; and unfortunately 
we have seen pictures and 
film footage of the day their 
dreams turned into a night- 
mare. 

I encourage you to clip out 
the front page photo and 
save it somewhere so you 
will always remember these 
men and women. And if 
nothing else, a piece of their 
dreams will always be kept 
alive.

the port at 8 a.m. Friday to show 
the students real life from a 
Cuban point of view. 

"I wasn't sure what to expect. 
There is immense poverty in 
Cuba, but everyone I saw was 
happy, and happy to talk me, an 
American," said Jason Moore. 
"Communism has a way of 
oppressing public opinion but the 
citizens really seemed to love 
their country, and they were 
proud to be Cuban." 

Walking down the cobblestone 
streets of Havana, signs of the 
revolution were apparent at every 
corner. Hanging next to a 
Catholic church, a huge banner, 
with Fidel Castro on it, showed 
the bold words "El Revolution". 
What should have been a quick 
ride across town, in a govern-

not to mention the car.

Letter to the Editor 



Reader shows support for Grunenwald 



Dear Editor, 

The January 30 issue of TU dorm 

Caff began with the headline 
•'Candidates begin to vie for pres- 
idency." I would like to offer that 
there is only one candidate quali- 
fied to assume our presidency, and 
that person is Dr. Joseph 
Grunenwald. 

In my seven years of matricula- 
tion from this honorable institu- 
tion, I had the privilege of associ- 
ating with Dr. Grunenwald on 
both the professional and personal 
levels. He is a man who genuine- 



ly cares for this institution and its 
students. His door was, and still 
is, always open. 

It was in his capacity as dean of 
the college of business, where we 
first met. I was a frustrated sopho- 
more trying to get into a closed 
economics course. He and his 
staff of Dr. Pae, and the ever-dili- 
gent Faye, opened the doors and 
charted my career path every 
semester. Dr. Grunenwald found 
the way eventually, to help me 
graduate by "pulling some 
strings," and making some phone 



calls, to this extent I owe him a 
debt of gratitude. He would go to 
these extremes for any student; I 
was not an exceptional case. 

Dr. Grunenwald assumed the 
position of academic Provost for 
the late Dr. Kuhn, who would 
have been a hands down choice 
for this presidency had he still 
been among us, God rest his soul. 
Dr. Joe took on this task with a 
sense of unfulfillment. He worked 
tirelessly to acquire accreditation 
for the Business College, and that

attached to a young boy's bike 
and US dollars, no other currency 
is accepted. 

"I assumed they wouldn't accept 
American money because of the 
embargo, but I was just the oppo- 
site, US dollars were all they 
would accept. It's what they live 
on, not pesos (the Cuban curren- 
cy). If the embargo is so powerful 
I don't know why America has 
such a strong influence on Cuba," 
said Lindsey Kistler of the 
University of Pittsburgh. 

After touring Cuba with the 
Havana students, both Semester at 
Sea students and Havana students 
joined Fidel Castro in the 
National Assembly for a three- 
hour discussion. Dressed in a 
three-pieced gray suit, Castro 
gave the students the floor as they 
asked him questions regarding 
politics, poverty and American 
assassination attempts. 

"It's true Cubans cannot eat in 
restaurants or stay in tourist 
resorts, but they are all equal. We 
are not rich here (in Cuba), how- 
ever, one does not have what the 
other does not. If one cannot 
attend a hotel then none of us will 
in Cuba. We are equal," respond- 
ed Castro after one of the students 
questioned his politics. 



Without a special license, Cuban 
people cannot dine in restaurants, 
drive cars, or even own cameras. 
"I earn around 200 pesos a 
month," said Louise, a taxi driver, 
"I am lucky. Others without gov- 
ernment jobs or who have fami- 
lies living in America, can barely 
get by." 

Twenty-seven pesos equal one 
American dollar. Although many 
Cubans make little money, family 
members who have relocated to 
the US send money to supplement 
their wages. 

"Cuba is a beautiful place. I hope 
that some day I will be permitted 
to come back and maybe bring my 
family," said Allison Hayammi 
from Boulder, Colorado. 

After three days in Cuba it was 
time for the SAS students to 
board the S.S. Universe Explorer 
for the last time and set sail for 
America. 

"You can read hundreds of 
books, but that type of vicarious 
experience will never compare to 
the immersion among the beauti- 
ful people and the diverse cultures 
of the world," said Semester at 
Sea alumni and Clarion 
University student Nicole Morret.

munication major.

goal was eventually met, thanks 
in large part to his efforts. 

There were many times when I 
was walking Main Street to class, 
or to my job on campus or at 
Wal-Mart, where he would stop 
and offer me a ride. Here is a 
man with so much on his plate; 
yet he always has time to help his 
students achieve their goals. 

I urge all students to take some 
time out of their schedules and 
introduce yourselves to Dr. Joe, 
and I also suggest to student and 
faculty Senate to contact the 14 
member selection committee 
informing them that we have the 
best man for the job right here in 
house. 

No offense to the other four 
candidates, I am sure that they 
are all qualified, but an outsider 
may damage the status quo. 
Those candidates do not know 
this area, its people or its 



nuances. 

This University has been 
burned by outside thoughts 
before; we should now learn our 
lesson. Like your article quoted, 
Dr. Joe and President Reinhard, 
"Both have similar values." 

On the subject of Dr. Reinhard, 
let me be the first, of many, to 
commend her on a job well done. 

A sincere thanks for her tireless 
efforts to bring a floundering 
teacher's college up to statewide 
respectability. 

Her unceasing efforts have lead 
to improvements in the campus 
infrastructure, improvements to 
its technology, increased enroll- 
ment every semester, funding for 
both the public and private sec- 
tors, aversion of a potentially 
damaging teachers strike, and 
further integration of the univer- 
sity with the local communities. 

This list goes on and on. With 



her faithful companion Maggie 
by her side, she also is someone 
who would take time out of a 
hectic schedule to share a kind 
word, or offer advice to a stu- 
dent. 

In the coming weeks, I urge all 
students, faculty and staff to 
locate Dr. Reinhard on campus, 
(it's not difficult, she seems to be 
everywhere at once), and give a 
sincere thank you for a job well 
done. God knows she deserves it. 

In closing I offer this; that when 
the renovations to Davis Hall are 
concluded (whenever that 
occurs), it be re-named The 
Diane Reinhard Center for 
Education. A fitting legacy, 
which she truly merits. After all, 
education is her life. 

Respectfully yours, 

Mr. Lynn McDonald

Tobeco seeks submissions for 2003 



by Amanda Cackowski 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Tobeco: A Journal of 
Writing and Art is now 
accepting submissions in vari- 
ous genres of literature 
including poetry, fiction, non- 
fiction prose (including acad- 
emic essays), translations, and 
even in the medium of art. But 
what exactly is Tobeco? 

Dr. Philip Terman, Professor 
of English, describes Tobeco 
as this: "Tobeco is about 
reflecting the literary and 
visual arts of the community. 
It seeks to add to the cultural 
life, promote the arts and 
offer the university and com- 
munity a forum to present and 
appreciate creative works." 

Before Tobeco's conception 
three years ago, the resident 
arts journal was called Dare. 

"Tobeco came about as part 
of a desire to expand Dare. We 
expanded the journal to 
include more essays, poems, 
stories and art," explained 
Terman, who took over the 
adviser title of this organiza- 
tion after relocating from 
Clarion University Venango 
Campus where he advised the 
literary and arts journal, 
called The Oil City Review. 

The new name, Tobeco, was 
chosen because it is the 
Native American name for the 
Clarion River. 

In addition to expanding 
Dare, there was also interest 
in adding translations from 
foreign languages, and conse- 
quently Dr. Elisabeth Donato 
became the adviser of that 
part of the journal. 

Furthermore, the newly 
expanded Tobeco sought out 
to reach Clarion community 
writers and artists, as well as 
the Clarion University stu- 
dents, faculty and staff. 



All types of writing and art 
are encouraged for submission 
in Tobeco. 

Heidi Niebauer, senior 
English major and co-editor 
of this year's issue of Tobeco 
stresses, "We are continually 
expanding the types of things 
that are included in the jour- 
nal. Last year we printed our 
first academic paper, and this 
year we are including submis- 
sions from a project that we 
have collaborated with [the 
Honors Program to include] 
high school students in the 
community. Currently, we are 
accepting black and white art 
and photography, fiction, non- 
fiction, poetry, world lan- 
guages, essays and original 
song lyrics." 

In addition to editing the 
journal, the members of 
Tobeco sponsor Open Mic 
Nights held at Michelle's 
Cafe, Main Street, Clarion. 

"The Open Mic Nights are 
public forums, usually at 
Michelle's Cafe, wherein any- 
one can share their literary 



Tobeco's staff also works in 
partnership with the Clarion 
Arts Council to invite poets to 
read preceding the open 
mic event.

and musical talents. We want- 
ed to provide a gathering 
place of people who wish to 
share and appreciate good 
writing and music, as well as 
an artistic and intellectual 
atmosphere, a place to hang 
out and enjoy," Terman noted. 



This past semester one such 
event featured published poet 
and editor, Antonio Vallone. 

Niebauer added that, 
"Usually there is an option of 
donating to Tobeco and the 
Clarion Arts council avail- 
able, so that we may use it to 
produce the journal, and 
advertise events." 

The next Open Mic Night is 
scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 
15 at 6 p.m. at Michelle's 
Cafe in collaboration with the 
Art Department's Vizarts 
Club. 

Members of Tobeco also 
meet weekly to discuss the 
size and layout of the journal, 
plan Open .Mic Nights and 
also read and evaluate sub- 
missions when they come in. 
The group meets weekly on 
Thursday nights at 6 p.m. in 
209 Davis Hall. 

Those involved with Tobeco 
would like to extend an invite 
to anyone who is interested in 
the journal process, volunteer- 
ing time to read submissions, 
or helping to plan Open Mic 
Night's to attend the meetings 
and become involved. 

The Tobeco staff is excited 
by this year's edition as the 



Feb. 28 deadline is fast 
approaching. Those interested 
in submitting may do so as 
follows. 

Submissions can be submit- 
ted to Dr. Philip Terman 21 OF 
Davis Hall, Dr. Elisabeth 
Donato 208C Davis Hall (who 
is compiling foreign language 
submissions), Heidi Niebauer, 
Elicia Donze (co-editor), 
Scott Kane (art editor), or any 
other staff member. 

Items can be dropped off in 
the English Department mail- 
boxes, handed to the afore- 
mentioned members personal- 
ly, or even e-mailed to tobe- 
co2003@yahoo.com. 

More info can be obtained 
from many fliers around cam- 
pus, or by sending e-mail to 
Dr. Philip Terman at ter- 
man@clarion.edu, or Elicia 
Donze at elicia8@yahoo.com. 

It is not mandatory, but if 



possible to help with the lay- 
out process, work can be 
included on an IBM-formatted 
disk labeled with your name, 
address, phone number, and e- 
mail address. 

Tobeco also recently 
launched a web site with com- 
plete information about mak- 
ing submissions to the jour- 
nal, sample works from the 
previous issue, and dates of 
future Open Mic Nights. 

The Tobeco web site can be 
found on Clarion University's 
English Department web site 
or by typing in the following 
address into your browser: 
http://wwwartsci.clarion.edu/

Aspiring writers and artists 
are encouraged to submit 
works for possible publication 
in this fairly new and con- 
stantly expanding literary and 
artistic forum.

Movie Review 

"Recruit" the trailer and rent the movie 



by Tyler Fausnaught 
Clarion Call Movie Reviewer 

In any given week there are 
around a dozen film selections 
in the theaters, so for most 
people trying to decide what 
movie best suits their tastes 
can be an arduous task -- and 
given the prices of tickets 
today, it can be a decision that 
not only affects your evening 
but also your wallet. 

Many people make their 
decision based on a movie's 
trailer. Personally, I love 
movie trailers, especially the 
ones before the feature film. 
But when I went to view 
"Gangs of New York" I saw 
the trailer for "The Recruit" 
and I wish I would have 
closed my eyes and covered 
my ears. 

Anyone who has seen the 
trailer probably will go into 
"The Recruit" already know- 
ing what the ending will be. 
Not the specifics, but basical- 
ly what boils down to the meat 
and potatoes of the film caus- 
ing the finale to come as no 
surprise. 

For me the trailer ruined a 
film that had it's share of 
glitches but up until the last 
15 minutes was enjoyable. 



The film stars Al Pacino as 
CIA instructor and recruiter 
Walter Burke. Burke is a self- 
proclaimed "scary judge of 
talent." He backs up this claim 
by going after recruits that are 
born with espionage in their 
blood. 

One such recruit named 
James Clayton, played by 
Colin Farrell, is top of his 
class at MIT and develops 
software that catches the eye 
of Dell Computers. Burke 
convinces Clayton along with 
other young prospects to join 
the CIA training program in 
Langley, Va., some will make 
it, but most will not. 

What struck me as odd was 
the fact that all the recruits 
were not only smart, agile and 
young, but they were all strik- 
ingly good looking. It seems 
to me that an international spy 
wouldn't want to attract much 
attention so why recruit all 
attractive young people that 
would obviously stand out in 
any crowd? 

Rounding off the cast is a 
fresh face in Bridget 
Moynahan. Moynahan plays 
another of Burke's recruits, 
Layla, but we are led to 
believe that she is a mole dig- 
ging deep into American intel- 



ligence. 

So now we have two people 
trained by the same man and 
same organization (Layla and 
Clayton). Burke informs

Clayton of her interior espi- 
onage and assigns him to 
track, monitor and find out 
whom she is working for 
while at the same time he pro- 
ceeds to involve himself emo- 
tionally with her. 

We are talking about two 
people trained by the same 
man that are aware of the tac- 
tics the other is using, yet 
Layla never catches on. 

There is a scene where they 
bump into each other at CIA 
headquarters, then later at a 
coffee shop. Layla invites 
Clayton home with her and 
until she notices that he had 



been going through her per- 
sonal computer files, she 
seemed to have no clue about 
him. 

Wouldn't someone with spe- 
cialized CIA operative train- 
ing know of his intentions? 

Furthermore, a man that was 
top of his class at MIT and 
who is a wizard with comput- 
ers should know how to search 
someone's computer files with 
out leaving a trace that they 
were there. 

Now we get to the conclu- 
sion, which as I said before 
will be obvious to anyone who 
has seen the trailer. The film- 
makers try to trick us and for a 
second it feels like maybe 
they would, but at the end they 
really didn't trick anyone at 
all 

Although the end is ruined, 
the progression is still fun to 
watch. There are some excit- 
ing chase scenes, interesting 
training montages and acting 
that is better than average. 

A! Pacino, one of America's 
great living actors has made a 
career of playing rough, 
aggressive characters and in 
"The Recruit" he doesn't dis- 
appoint. Although this perfor- 
mance doesn't stand up to his 
more famous roles, it doesn't 
take away from them either. 

"The Recruit" is all progres- 
sion and a dud at the finish, 
but the film is fun. If you are a 
fan of the spy film genre then 
I say go out and see it. As for 
casual moviegoers who want 
to be challenged, recruit this 
film on video.

Pop/Fashion Columnist 



Some of you might recognize me 
around the university campus as 
'that weird guy with all the pins on 
his backpack." That's me. But now 
I'm the new pop culture/fashion 
writer here to offer hope for the 
clueless, hints for the clued and 
information for those already there. 

In this little column of mine, Til 
be touching on all sorts of things 
from hype, celebrities, and some 
gossip to fashion, style, and in n' 
out... you know what I mean. 
Hopefully have a little fun along the 
way. Hold on to your hats ladies 
and gentlemen. . .and frat boys, here 
we go. 

Pop Culture 

It feels like this year is starting off 
rather slow to me. The biggest thing 
so far has been the Super Bowl and 
we all know what a blowout snore 
jfest the game was, but it had it's 
own stars. The commercials. 

Apparently the biggest commer- 
cial was everyone's favorite anti- 
family "The Osbournes" and their 
ad for Pepsi Twist. Although the 
joke pairing them with the perky; 
perfect Osmonds and Carol Brady 
was cute, in a way it screams out 
"fading star alert." 

Lets all hope that ratings pick up 
again for the Osbourne clan as I ■ y? 
heard they took a dip with the ney* 
year. Did anyone else notice Ozzy 
was remarkably clear with his 
lines? 

The anti-drug commercials, while 
noble, are starting to get on my 
nerves. Guilt tripping America's 
youth is not going to get anyone 
anywhere. If you want to reach peo- 
ple be honest and give them facts, 
and above all don't exploit a nation* 
al disaster to further your cause, no 
matter how just it may be. We all 
remember that drugs equal terror- 
ism commercial. 

The ad with the stallions playing 
football and the zebra referee 
strangely brought back memories of 
the "Bud Bowl" commercials. Not 
quite sure myself where I'm draw 
ing that correlation from, but there 
it is. It was an entertaining spot, too, 

I think the general consensus on 
the best commercial was Reebok's 
spot with Terry Tate. "THAT'S a 
long distance call Doug!" I was in 
stitches laughing at that one while 
cringing at the massive athlete 
steamrolling people over. Not really 
sure how it conveyed any message 
from Reebok, but they definitely 
scored with that spot.

Music Review 



Beck just checked into the heartbreak hotel 



by Jesse Ley 
Clarion Call Music Reviewer 

For some of you, when you 
hear the name Beck Hansen 
you immediately imagine an 
eccentric musical visionary or 
an unpredictable force of 
rock 'n roll supremacy. 

However, for the majority of 
you such visual imagery may 
not come to mind so easily. 
Many of you may have to 
stretch the very limits of your 



already congested memory 
banks to a time when alterna- 
tive music was just beginning 
to make its revolutionary 
mark on society. 

The year was 1994. While 
many early teenage students 
were trying to make a credible 
name for themselves amongst 
their ruthless, critical peers 
and earn their very own seat 
at the cool table during lunch, 
a select number of students 
couldn't be bothered by such

a socially demanding 
lifestyle. 

These are the kids that spent 
their afternoons skimming 
through the pages of Kurt 
Vonnegut novels that they 
found in their older brother's 
bedroom or crammed them- 
selves tightly into a friend's 
basement to squander their 
day away playing "Dungeons 
and Dragons." 

These are the same quirky 
individuals who stormed the 
middle school dances adorned 
in corduroy pants and 
Converse Chuck Taylor all- 
stars. Their religion was 'nerd 
rock.' The gods they served 
were Rivers Coumo (of 
Weezer) and none other than 
Beck himself. Their anthem 
was "Loser." 

I'm sure that some of you, 
due to this nostalgic trip 
through memory lane, are 
beginning to remember that 
song and that artist quite 
clearly. Many of you may 
have thought (or hoped) that 
Beck had fallen off the face of 
the earth since then. Well, 
I've got news for you - he's 
back! In fact, he never really 
went away. 

In September of 2002, Beck 
released "Sea Change" his 
fifth major label, full-length 



Beck - "Sea Change" 

For fans of: jangle-ly garage pop, psychedelic alt. country or mellow 

acoustic rock

Drake - "Pink Moon," Elliot Smith - "XO" 

Grade: 3 stars (out of 5) 



album. With this record he 
took a more somber approach 
at conveying his musical mes- 
sage. 

It's a refreshing change of 
pace to finally see Beck 
speaking from his heart rather 
than his head. On some of his 
previous releases you would 
encounter lines such as "Pick 
yourself up off the side of the 
road with your elevator bones 
and your whip-flash tones" or 
"I think we're going crazy, her 
left eye is lazy, she looks so 
Israeli, nicotine and gravy." 

While the words that he spat 
out were lyrically innovative 
they didn't divulge much of 
what Beck is really about. 
However, with "Sea Change" 
we get to see him as a person 
and his true identity finally 
begins to emerge. 

On the opening track of the 
album, "The Golden Age," 
Beck confides in you openly 
and honestly as if he were one 
of your closest friends. He 



confesses that "These days I 
barely get by, I don't even 
try." In a plea for our sympa- 
thy he cleverly plays upon the 
heartstrings of anyone listen- 
ing to the song. It is with this 
song that he sets the tone for 
the rest of the record. 

This melancholy mood is 
hauntingly consistent 

throughout the entire album 
and it is under its spell that 
you are inevitably carried 
along to track number five, 
the albums first single, "Lost 
Cause." 

This is a song about love 
and loss and regret, which by 
this point shouldn't be sur- 
prising. 

The primary source behind 
Beck's new found emotional 
integrity is fact he had recent- 
ly terminated a relationship 
with his girlfriend of nine 
years. That's enough to make 
any guy a little down in the 
dumps.

Hunting for Babe Ruth's keys to success" 



While you're enjoying your 
comfortable, low-risk 

lifestyle, with your childproof 
aspirin bottles and your 
reduced-fat Cheez-Its, some 
brave divers are preparing to 
plunge into the dark, frigid 
waters of New England in a 
quest for a legendary object — 
an object that, if found, could 
have a profound effect upon 
all humanity. 

Or at least Red Sox fans. 
That's right. These brave 
divers are looking for what 
could be the single most 
important submerged leg- 
endary artifact (freshwater 
division) in all of baseball: 
Babe Ruth's piano. 

I am not making this up. You 
may have seen it in the news: 
There is a serious effort afoot 
to retrieve an alleged piano 
that Babe Ruth allegedly 
caused to sink to the bottom of 
an alleged pond in Sudbury, a 
small alleged village in 
Massachusetts. 

I apologize for the cautious 
wording, but the details of this 
incident are hazy, as is so 
often the case with assaults on 
pianos. 

I know about these things. I 
once owned an upright piano 
that found itself in the wrong 
place at the wrong time -- 
specifically, at a party in my 
home during which a group of 
people decided to sing an 
extreme version of The Dixie 
Cups' hit song Chapel of Love. 
The next morning, my living- 
room floor was covered with 
what turned out to be impor- 



2 Small 10 

Pizzas 



tant piano parts. To this day, 
none of the people involved 
can remember how this hap- 
pened. 

The Babe Ruth piano story is 
equally murky. What I have 
been able to determine, by 
painstakingly reading stories 
written by real journalists, is 
this: 

In 1918, Ruth rented a cot- 
tage, with a piano, next to 
Willis Pond, which, like many 
ponds of that era, was filled 
with water. One version of the 
local legend is that Ruth, 
"possibly lubricated with alco- 
hol," as the New York Times 
(a newspaper) put it, threw the 
piano into the pond to display 
his strength. 

This version is unlikely: 
Even a very strong, very lubri- 
cated man would be unable to 
throw a piano into a pond. 

An accordion, yes. In fact, 
more people SHOULD throw 
accordions into ponds. But 
pianos are in a different 
league. 

The more realistic version is 
that when the pond was 
frozen, Ruth threw a party, 
and at some point he and the 
other partygoers dragged the 
piano out onto the ice — why 
not? -- for a songfest. (It is not 
known what they sang, though 
we can rule out Chapel of 
Love, as The Dixie Cups had 
not yet been invented.) 

When the party ended, they 
couldn't push the piano back 
up the bank, so they left it, 
and when the ice melted, the 
piano sank, Leonardo-

DiCaprio-like. into the dark 
water of Willis Pond. 

Or so the legend goes; 
nobody is really sure. But a 
while back a Sudbury resident 
named Kevin Kennedy had an 
idea: What if the piano really 
WAS in the pond? What if it 
was found, brought back up, 
and restored? Maybe that 
would end the "Curse of the 
Bambino" — the legendary hex 
that has prevented the Red 
Sox from winning the World 
Series since the team's moron 
owner sold Ruth to the 
Yankees in 1919! 

At first, this idea sounds 
ridiculous. But if you really 
think about it, you begin to 
realize that it makes no sense 
whatsoever. Nevertheless, the 
piano recovery is now a seri- 
ous effort, sponsored by a fine 
(and serious) organization 
called Restoration Project, 
which helps mentally ill 
adults. (For more about the 
organization, and the piano 
effort, check the Internet at 
restorationproject.org .) 

I spoke with Chris Hugo, a 
marine biologist and diver 
involved in the piano search. I 
asked him whether it was 
scary, plunging into the murky 
depths of Willis Pond, know- 
ing that a piano could be lurk- 
ing anywhere. 

He told me that, aside from 
snapping turtles, the worst 
thing is that the pond depths 
are quite shallow, so divers 
run the risk of leaping dramat- 
ically into the water, in full 
diving gear, only to stand up, 
with the water coming to 
maybe their waists. 

Hugo also told me that seri- 
ous underwater experts, using 
sophisticated equipment, have 
scanned the pond for the 
piano, and found some possi- 
ble locations. 

He said divers would be 
going back down soon, while 
the water is cold and the tur- 
tles are sleeping. I asked him, 
frankly, what he thought the 
chances were of finding the 
piano. 

He told me, frankly, that he 
doesn't think there IS a piano 
in there. But he's going to look 
for it anyway. Because that's 
the kind of project this is. 

I know I speak for all 
Americans, except Yankees 
fans, when I say to these brave 
divers: Good luck. And 
Godspeed. 

And, above all, if you find 
any accordions, just leave 
them, OK? 



Beckl Heartbreak hotel, 
from Page 11. 

Beck playfully shrugs off the 
connection between the loses 
he's experienced in his person- 
al life and the themes of 
despair that consistently resur- 
face on the album, but it's just 
a facade. Anyone listening to 
the record can tell that he has 
been deeply impacted by his 
tragic misfortune. 

This may be most prevalent 
on the song "Guess I'm doing 
fine." It's a country flavored, 
subdued song that states, "It's 
only lies that I'm living, it's 
only tears that I'm crying, it's 
only you that I'm losing, guess 
I'm doing fine." 

There isn't much variation in 
subject matter from song to 
song. But that isn't necessarily 
a bad thing. Think of it kind of 
like a concept album, where all 
the songs are beautifully craft- 
ed into miniature pop sym- 
phonies, specifically created 
for a rainy evening spent alone 
in your bedroom. 

With this record Beck opens 
up the door to surreal, unchart- 
ed realms that were previously 
thought to only exist underwa- 
ter. But his vision and inter- 
pretation of these mystical 
dreamlike places is so con- 
vincing that they seem to 
quickly become places that we 
are no strangers to. We can 
travel right along with him 
every misguided step of the 
way. 

Beck consciously knew 
where to draw the line between 
soulful, heartfelt expression 



and whiney self-indulgence. It 
is a line that he made certain 
never to cross, and he succeed- 
ed admirably. 

With each additional album 
Beck finds a new and interest- 
ing way to reinvent himself. 
He continues to push the musi- 
cal envelope and stretch the 
limits of what is possible in 
the world of pop music. "Sea 
Change" is no exception. 

Coming off of a creative and 
emotional high from his previ- 
ous release "Midnight 
Valuators" many critics and 
music fans a like thought that 
he may have run out of places 
to go, musically speaking. 

But he proved to the world 
once again that he still has a 
few tricks up his sleeve when 
he exposed to us his sensitive 
and vulnerable side. 

With this record he throws 
himself upon the mercy of the 
listener. Begging and pleading 
for the chance to speak his 
mind. He approaches you 
defenseless and unarmed; 
bearing his soul to anyone that 
is willing to accept it. 

Blaise Pascal once said, 
"Love has reasons which rea- 
son cannot understand." Beck 
adheres to this statement as 
though it was gospel truth, and 
its message is overpoweringly 
present the whole way through 
the album. 

We are taken on a 52-minute 
downhearted journey through 
the thoughts and feelings of a 
jilted lover. This album is sure 
to become a staple in the col- 
lection of anyone who is suf- 
fering from a broken heart. 



Culture! Our new pop culture/fashion columnist introduces 
himself, from Page 10. 



Fashion 

For the first installment of the 
fashion section I'm going to speak 
very generally. There will be plen- 
ty of time for specific fashion talk 
later on. If you're ever going to 
follow one piece of style/fashion 
advice, let it be this one. 
Individual ity is in ... for good. 

This individuality is a weird 
word, a different meaning for 
almost everyone. If you're into the 
Abercrombie & Fitch set, then go 
with it as long as it suits you. Don't 
wear it just because other people 
do. 

If you're into the punk scene then 
rock on, there is nothing more 
becoming than showing who you 
are. In a contest of style between 
two people of equal attractiveness, 
one wearing the latest Gucci 
sweater and the other in torn jeans 
and a beater, it's all going to come 



down to who looks more comfort 
able in their second skins. 

Hey, sometimes beauty is painful 
but with the right advice and some 
helpful hints it's that much easier. 
Be realistic. When it comes down 
to it, most of the shirts you're 
going to find at American Eagle 
pretty much look the same, but we 
still buy them. 

Having an individual flair to your 
look is what puts you above and 
beyond everyone else at the party. 

You know you want that cute guy 
to come over and comment on how 
good you look. You know you 
want to go over to that hot chick 
and try to impress her with your 
sense of style. Hopefully in the 
future I'll be able to offer some 
advice to help everyone out even if 
just a little. 

Catch you in two weeks, Clarion. 
Until then, stay cool and think hot.

Horoscopes 

Aries (March 21-April 20). Family relationships are demanding this week. Many Aries natives 
are preparing to make subtle, but important, changes in home relations, family roles or living arrange- 
ments. New proposals will trigger several weeks of positive gains in intimate and long-term relationships. 
Don't hold back. This is an excellent time to put feelings into action. After Friday, closely study dreams 
or intuitions. Powerful social and romantic wisdom will soon be made available. 

Taurus (April 21-May 20). Before midweek, respond quickly to new office information. Bosses 
and fellow workers may soon correct misleading statements or workplace procedures. Areas affected are 
individual instructions <md disputed figures. Watch official records and documents for errors. After Friday, 
romantic interest and home obligations are on the rise. Spend extra time with loved ones and improve 
family relations, if possible. Honestly expressed emotion will greatly increase intimacy. 

Gemini (May 21-June 21). This week, business arrangements will work in your favor. Early 
Tuesday, pay close attention to subtle communications from bosses or partners. Many Geminis are well 
positioned to be welcomed into an inner circle of business associates. Stay alert. Later this week, new 
romantic attractions will be difficult to avoid. Potential lovers will be drawn to your charisma and style. 
Remain true to your feelings. New relationships may require extra time or emotional testing. 

Cancer (June 22-July 22). Romance and friendship may involve subtle politics this week. Late 
Tuesday, expect loved ones to be moody or to openly compete for your attention. Private criticism and 
emotional hesitation are the result of a recent wave of self-reflection or doubt. Expect others to be mildly 
frustrated by social and romantic limitations. After midweek, a new business routine may be necessary. 
Plan for late changes to time schedules. 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Friends and lovers will require extra emotional attention this week. 
Monday through Wednesday, expect loved ones to be quietly reflective or self-absorbed. For many Leos, 
moody moments will be followed by a brief period of emotional outburst or bold public statements. Allow 
friends and lovers extra time to work through difficult emotions. This is not a good time to avoid the needs 
or opinions of loved ones. After midweek, optimism and romantic interest returns. Be patient. 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A friendship or subtle flirtation may turn romantic this week. Early 
Tuesday, watch for new emotional proposals. In the coming weeks, many Virgos will gently expand their 
social and romantic commitments. Already attached Virgos can expect to find greater intimacy and sen- 
suality in love relationships. After midweek, a sibling or close relative may require business advice. Long- 
term calculations are important. Be practical and point out possible setbacks. 

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Co-workers and business partners may request quick information or 
last-minute changes. Areas of concern are ongoing contracts, traditional business methods or longstand- 
ing agreements. Take all such change seriously. Many Librans will begin several weeks of fast business 
improvement and new workplace procedures. After Wednesday, rest and plan unique social or family 
events. Loved ones need extra group support and emotional contact. 

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Over the next few days, it may become obvious that a business or 
family relationship will not improve. Many Scorpios will slowly bring new methods of business or emo- 
tional support into their lives. No dramatic or overwhelming action is needed; rather, take time to evalu- 
ate or verify long-term priorities. After Saturday, intimate social discussions will bring valuable insight. 
Watch friends or potential lovers closely for subtle emotional clues. 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Early this week, a boss or business official may reverse a recent 
decision or introduce an unexpected policy. Areas of concern may involve property management, finan- 
cial lending, budgets or records of spending. Many Sagittarians will begin an intense phase of practical 
financial adjustments or streamlined business procedures. Remain dedicated to team interests. At present, 
others need to witness your management expertise and group loyalty. 

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20). Long-term romance will experience a compelling phase of open 
discussion. For many Capricorns, honest expression will bring meaningful improvement to all key rela- 
tionships. Expect lovers and close friends to issue rare social proposals or quick family plans. Single 
Capricorns will experience intense creativity and a renewed faith in emotional commitment. A powerful 
and demanding week. Stay open to passionate overtures and fast social changes. 

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19). Employment relations or small financial details are easily clarified. 
Over the next few days, expect the past actions of a colleague or official to help resolve present disputes. 
Areas affected are wage discussions, payment practices or long-term company policy. Wisdom from the 
past will be surprisingly accurate this week. Check outdated sources for direction and guidance. After 
Friday, romantic passions are delightful but highly emotional. Remain loyal to long-term promises. 

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20). This week, yesterday's social or romantic statements may be open- 
ly debated. Trust your instincts and watch your own behavior for valuable clues. Over the next few days, 
public reactions will directly reflect private intentions. Stay balanced .and contemplate recent group 
events. Single Pisceans can expect to become highly creative, socially engaging and confident. Don't hold 
back. This is an important time for newly inspired relationships and emotional clarity between lovers. 

If your birthday is this week ... Watch for vital business improvements over the next three 
months. A complex phase of workplace politics will soon fade. Use this time to present controversial ideas 
to authority figures or request special permissions. After mid-May, a dynamic romantic choice may 
demand attention. New relationships or friendships will compete for your loyalty and may, before, July 
8, create an unusual family triangle. Remain consistent and clearly outline all expectations. August 
through September will trigger a powerful wave of career ambition. Check facts, rare paperwork and new 
resources for positive opportunities for advancement.

Clarion Call Sports Writer 

The Clarion University 
Men's Basketball team hit 
the court last Saturday as the 
Raiders of Shippensburg 
took a trip across the state to 
face the Golden Eagles in 
PSAC action. 

The Golden Eagles had 
three players score in the 
double digits. Senior Dereck 
Rankin was the leading scor- 
er with 19 points. 

Taking PSAC-West Rookie 
of the Week honors for the 
second time this season, 
freshman Terrance Vaughns, 
added in 16 points and senior 
Rollie Smith dropped in 14. 

Unfortunately, it was not 
enough and the men's basket- 
ball team fell short with 67- 
66 loss. 

The game looked to be in 
Ciarion's hands until a Ship 
hit a game winning three-

over the half-court line at the 
buzzer.

chances to achieve a double 
digit lead, and we let them 
hang in there," said Assistant 
Coach Al Modrejewski. 

Although, a loss at the 
buzzer is tough to deal with, 
the Golden Eagles won't look 
back, but just look ahead as 
they have some big PSAC 
games coming up on their 
schedule. 

The men are currently 15-5 
and 4-1 in PSAC-West play. 
Currently, the team is tied 
with Edinboro and California 
for first place in conference. 

"We are pleased with where 
we are at, but we are not sat- 
isfied. Anyone can win 
because the West is wide- 
open this season. If we play 
like we are capable of play- 
ing, we should do extremely 
well," added Coach 

Modrejewski. 

The Golden Eagles will be 
back on their home court 
next Wednesday as they take 
on the Vulcans of California 
Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. at Tippin

Wrestling 



I Golden Eagles face emotional Pitt squad Tuesday night 



by Beth Bittner 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

The Clarion University Golden Eagles faced 
off against an emotionally rocked University 
of Pittsburgh (6-3, 2-1) wrestling team after 
the death of one of their assistant coaches. 

The Eagles hosted the Easten Wrestling 
League match Tuesday night in Tippin 
Gymnasium. This was the first match for Pitt 
without graduate assistant coach, David 
Sandberg along side of them. 

David Sandberg, 23, of Spokane, 
Washington died unexpectedly on 
Wednesday, Jan. 29 from a rare form of 
meningitis that was caused by a severe blood- 
stream infection. Sandberg previously wres- 
tled the 197-pound weight class for the 
Panthers and was now serving as the team's 
graduate assistant coach. 

The death of the young wrestler has sent 
shock waves through the entire wrestling 
community. 

"Its such a tragedy to have someone die so 
young and unexpectedly" said senior Clarion 
wrestler Jared Moss. 

Pitt's longtime head coach Rande 



Stottlemyer said, "The worst part is that David 
died by himself in the hospital. The medical 
people sent everyone home. No one had a 
clue." 

" I have no idea how my guys will wrestle," 
said coach Stottlemyer. 

Even without David Sandberg along side to 
coach his team and a forfeit at the 197-pound 
weight class the Panthers still managed to 
overcome emotional odds and defeat the 
Golden Eagles 23-16. 

The match was quite close and even came 
down to the final match in the 125 pound 
weight class. 

Clarion's Matt Doerfler faced Pitt's Jordan 
Sianni. Doerfler was trailing Sianni until the

by Bethany Bankovich 
Circulation Manager 

The Clarion Men's and Women's

two more victor ies over the weekend 
against Allegheny and Duquesne. 

The teams began their winning 
streak on Friday against Allegheny 
with a men's score of 141-79 and 
143-91 for the women. 

The competition on Saturday 
against Duquesne proved a bit more 
difficult for the Golden Eagles, but 
Clarion came back to take the win 
with a men's score of 153-108, and 
the women fmi shed 140 -121. 

Saturday also marked the final 
home dual meet of the 2002-2003 
season, as well as senior night. 

Senior ceremonies were conducted 
prior to the meet, honoring the 14 
departing seniors. Seven women and 



seven men will conclude their final 
season of competition at Clarion 
University at the conference meet 
this year. 

This year's members of the senior

Organizations express concerns for proposed policy 



by Sharvil Desai 

Clarion Call 

Student Senate Reporter 



■•••••••i 



!••«•••«••••••••••< 



Student Senate voted Feb. 
12 to approve line-item bud- 
geting which will be effective 
next fall. 

Next year's budgets are due 
March 14. Budgets will be 
evaluated by Student Senate. 

Line-item budgeting means 
student funded organizations 
can only receive fixed alloca- 
tions of money for defined 
purposes and categories of 
expenditure, rather than a 
large sum of money. 

Line-item budgeting con- 



trols the organization's use of 
funding by restricting bud- 
getary expenditures to out- 
lined categories like travel, 
lodging and food. 

Student Senate Treasurer 
Rebecca Emert gave an 
example that if Student 
Senate allocates $300 for an 
organization to take a trip, 
the organization can only 
spend $300 for this particular 
trip. 

"It holds organizations 
accountable," said Emert. 

Three Student Senators 
were opposed to the vote. 
They were Terrilyn 

Cheatham, Kenyata Dawson 



and Jennifer Reis. 

The vote also means 
Student Senate has approval 
over all funded activities in 
organizations. 

Organizations that partici- 
pate in small, regular activi- 
ties may receive more fund- 
ing than organizations, which 
may want to use their funds 
for one or two expensive 
trips. 

At last week's Student 
Senate meeting, representa- 
tives from three groups, the 
Political Science Association, 
the French Club and the 
German Club, came to voice 
their concerns for the new 




Snow removal 




policy. 

Student Senate President 
Mike Phillips stood by the 
policy. He told TU Clai-ion Call 
last week, "It's been a goal 
of Student Senate for years, 
and we now have the 
accounting software to 
make this possible. The 
main goal of this policy is 
to increase the accountabil- 
ity of organizations." 

In addition, CSA funded 
organizations will be sepa- 
rated into three categories 
for funding purposes only. 

The three categories of 
separation include 

"Athletics and 

Administration," 
"Programming," and "Co- 
curricular."

The effects of the season

Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief

Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call 

Clarion University students and residents are used to seeing snow plows and 
other signs that Punxsutawney Phil might be right in his prediction for six 
more weeks of winter. 



Clarion University students and 
residents are feeling the effects of 
the season as they shovel their 
way out of driveways and clean 
off their automobiles. 
University Snow Removal 

According to Clarion University 
Plant Services Manager Marty 
Baker, the Clarion University 
grounds crew has been kept busy. 

More than 200 tons of salt was 
ordered in anticipation of the dif- 
ficult winter, Baker explained. 
Two hundred tons of salt is "dou- 
ble what we used last year," Baker 
said. 

Baker also reported that workers 
have logged more than 2,000 
hours in overtime in order to prop- 
erly clean and salt sidewalks, 
parking lots and ramps on cam- 
pus. 

The grounds crew can be seen as 
early as 3 a.m. on campus so areas 
can be cared for before 8 a.m. 



Public Safety alerts the grounds 
crew to any additional problem 
areas, Baker added. 

The grounds crew may also 
work seven days a week, when 
necessary, for campus snow and 
ice removal. 

"I think they've (grounds crew) 
worked extremely hard this year. I 
think they've gone above and 
beyond this winter. I'm extremely 
proud of them," Baker said. 

Even with the work the grounds 
crew is doing, people who are on 
campus still need to be patient and 
careful when walking across cam- 
pus, Baker warned. 

"One concern with the salt is it 
needs to be a certain temperature 
to work," Baker said. When the 
temperature is fewer than 20 
degrees Fahrenheit salt "works to 
a decreasing degree."

that unknown PersonfsJ entered her room while 
she was out and removed property valued at S50. 
The incident is under investigation. 

* Matthew Gonzalez. 20. of Campbell Hall was

the only people who are responsi- 
ble for snow removal. 

According to a Clarion Borough 
Police Department news release, 
all owners and/or tenants of all 
properties in the Clarion Borough 
are responsible for removing all 
snow, ice, hail, or sleet upon any 
sidewalk that provides access to 
the general public under the 
Ordinance 99-691. 

The press release also reports 
that the removal must take place 
"within 24 hours of the last snow 
fall," and "may not be placed on 
the streets." 

Failure to comply with the ordi- 
nance could result in a citation. 
Winter Driving 

The snow can create problems 



for driving in general. 

PENNDOT Safety Press Officer 
Shawn Houck said it is important 
for people to give themselves 
enough time in the winter. 

"Planning ahead is the key to 
winter driving," Houck said. 

A person needs time to proper- 
ly clean off all of the windows on 
their car and warm it up. 
Cleaning off all the windows is 
important for "optimum visibility 
to avoid being in a collision," 
explained Houck. 

People also need to remember 
to have the right tires and tire 
pressure, Houck said. The auto- 
mobile manufacturer recom- 
mends the right pressure, Houck 
said. 



A person can use advanced 
planning by carrying a cell 
phone, an extra pair of boots, 
gloves and a hat, Houck said. 

In addition, keeping the gas 
tank full "adds extra weight for 
traction," Houck advised. 

Make sure the exhaust pipe is 
clear, Houck said. If a person 
finds him or herself in a stranded 
situation and their exhaust pipe 
isn't clear, their car could become 
filled with harmful exhaust 
fumes. 

Finally, Houck said one of the 
most important tasks a person can 
do is make other people aware of 
your plans and the routes in 
which you are going to be travel- 
ing. 



Final presidential candidate speaks to Presidential Search Committee

Dr. Terry Hickey earned a Ph.D

from the University of Miami, 
Florida, M.A. in Experimental 
Psychology from Michigan State 
University, and B.A. in 
Psychology from Southern

cer. 

"You already have a clear and 
realistic vision," said Hickey 
explaining why he is attracted to 
Clarion. "I'm interested in small 
to medium sized schools; that's 
where I think I can make the 
biggest impact." 

When asked about graduation 
and retention rates, Hickey 
replied, "I'd put a great deal of 
emphasis on advising." 

Hickey added that he would try 
to get students to experience 
their chosen field early by intern- 
ing and job shadowing. At Akron 
Hickey is involved in the Career 



Advantage Network, a program 
that guarantees students intern- 
ships in their field. 

Hickey also spoke about bud- 
get cuts. 

"I fear we're all living in a state 
of denial," said Hickey. "We're 
thinking things will get better 
next year, next semester or next 
fiscal year." 

Hickey was asked where he 
would make cuts if he were 
selected president, and he 
responded that he would have to 
look at the projects central to the 
university. 

"I fear we have to do signifi- 
cant cutting at the university," 
said Hickey. "It's a very difficult 
time to lead." 

Hickey says his administrative 
style will help lead the universi- 
ty through tough times. 

"I'm pretty informal. I have an 
open-door policy within reason," 
said Hickey. "I'm very fair, 
open, honest and direct. I listen 
and learn from people." 

Hickey was also asked about 
his level of interaction with stu- 
dents. 

"(It's) not what I'd like it to 
be," said Hickey. 

He explained that as a Provost 
he deals with students who come 



to his office already frustrated 
and dissatisfied. He believes that 
serving as president would give 
him an opportunity to interact 
with students. 

"To be successful, a university 
president must lead," said 
Hickey. 

The presidential search com- 
mittee will meet on Friday, Feb. 
18 to compare notes on the five 
candidates and narrow it down to 
three according to Oleta Amsler, 
chair of the committee. 

"Each candidate will have the 
chance to speak," said Amsler. 

Once the candidates are select- 
ed, Amsler said the committee 
will meet with the Council of 
Trustees to announce the final 
candidates. She noted that the 
committee and the council have 
to agree on the three names 
before the process can go any 
further. 

When agreed upon, the three 
names will be forwarded to the 
State System of Higher 
Education Board of Governors 
who make the decision on 
Clarion's next president. 

Amsler said she is not sure 
when the decision will be made, 
it depends on when the board 
meets.

University blood drive is successful in reaching its goal 




by Liz Peglow 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Delta Phi Epsilon and Zeta Phi 
Beta sororities along with Sigma 
Pi fraternity sponsored a blood 
drive Tuesday in Gemmell Multi- 
purpose room. 

The unit goal of the drive was 

95 units of blood. More than 117 
units of blood were collected with 

96 of them being eligible for use. 
Because of the constant blood 

shortage, blood is always needed. 
The Red Cross center located in 
Johnstown, needs more than 
1,000 donations each day. This 
center works to meet the blood 
needs of 100 counties in 
Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, 
Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West 
Virginia. In addition, it tries to 
contribute to Red Cross centers 
outside of these areas. 

Fred Rowan a Greater 
Alleghenies Region Red Cross 
employee encourages young peo- 
ple to donate. 

"It is important for young peo- 
ple to give blood and get them 
started on a lifelong goal of sav- 
ing lives," said Rowan. 

Holly Gantz, another Red Cross 



employee agrees with Rowan. 

"Not only does it help save 
lives, but it's a nice thing to do 
that doesn't cost any money," 
said Gantz. 

Requirements for giving blood 
include being in good health, 
passing an iron test and having a 
normal temperature, blood pres- 
sure and pulse. Donors should 
weigh at least 105 pounds and be 
at least 17 years of age and have 
eaten something the day of the 
donation. Those who have gotten 
a body piercing or tattoo in the 
past year will not be eligible to 
donate. Donations can be made 
every 56 days. 

After blood is donated, it can 
only be held for 42 days. After 
this time has elapsed, the blood 
must be destroyed. The 
September 11, 2001 terrorist 
attacks caused many people to 
flock to their local American Red 
Cross to donate blood. Although 
helpful, there ended up being a 
surplus of blood and many units 
had to be destroyed. 

Caitlin McKerman, a student 
volunteer from Delta Phi Epsilon, 
believes giving blood is impor- 



ts 

It is important for 

young people to give

goal of saving lives. 99

tant in today's world. 

"You never know what's going 
to happen," said McKerman. 
"With everything that's going on 
there could be a war." 

Before donating, a person's 
blood must be tested to see if it 
has enough iron. A drop of blood 
from a finger is dropped into a 
solution of copper sulfate. If the 
blood falls to the bottom of the 
container in less than 15 seconds, 
there are enough red blood cells, 
and therefore enough iron to 
donate. 

After the blood is donated, the 
bags are carried to the CS 1 table 
to be "stripped and clipped." This 
simply means the tubes are rid of 
the blood inside them and cut. 
The blood is then put in coolers 
and driver then takes the blood to 



the Greater Alleghenies Region 
of the Red Cross in Johnstown 
where it is separated and sent to 
hospitals in the area. 

After the blood is taken to the 
Red Cross center, it is tested to 
determine if it is Rh positive or 
Rh negative and also to acquire 
its type: A, B, O, or AB. It is 
screened for antibodies and dis- 
eases such as HIV, hepatitis B and 
C, and syphilis. 

If the Red Cross finds some- 
thing abnormal in blood during 
testing, they will notify the donor. 
The blood is then separated into 
three parts. The red blood cells 
are given to anemia patients and 
accident victims. It is also used 
after surgeries. Cancer patients 
most often receive platelets. The 
plasma is used for those in shock 
or those who have a blood clot- 
ting deficiency. White blood 
cells, known as leukocytes, are 
normally removed from the 
blood. 

Although all blood is important, 
the O blood type is the universal 
donor, which means anyone can 
receive it. Even those with rare 
blood types can receive O blood, 



which makes it the highest blood 
type in demand. 

Although patients are never 
charged for the blood they 
receive, this does not mean there 
isn't money involved. The Red 
Cross charges hospitals a pro- 
cessing fee for the expenses of 
testing, distributing and sorting 
the blood. The hospitals then 
charge an individual's insurance. 
The actual blood is not included 
in the processing fee because the 
donor gives it as a gift to the 
receiver. 

People anticipating a surgery in 
the near future can donate blood 
that they received after the 
surgery. This is called autologous 
donation and must be arranged 
ahead of time with a doctor. A 
person can also donate blood for 
a particular person through a 
process known as directed dona- 
tion. This also requires a doctor's 
permission, as well as permission 
of the patient receiving the blood. 

The Red Cross provides assis- 
tance both nationally and interna- 
tionally for disasters, biomedi- 
cine, military, health and safety 
and communities. 



President Reinhard addresses Student Senate at Monday's meeting 



by Sharvil Desai 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

President Diane Reinhard 
attended Monday night's 
Student Senate meeting. 

Reinhard said she has been 
interested in Student Senate ini- 
tiatives this past year. 

"I'm delighted how active the 
Student Senate is this year," said 
Reinhard. 

In recognition of her upcoming 
retirement, Reinhard said, "I 
hope the next president will 
carry on the tradition we have 
established the last 13 years." 

Outlining the financial posi- 
tion of Clarion University, 
Reinhard remarked that Clarion 
will not see its own budget until 



March and that it's still unclear 
how Pennsylvania's significant 
deficit will affect the universi- 
ty's budget and tuition increases. 
In addition, Reinhard 
expressed that Clarion is a state 
owned university and has not 
been forced to make mid-year 
budget cuts like Penn State 
because of its mere state-related, 
as opposed to state owned sta- 
tus. 

"Our top priority is Peirce 
Science," said Reinhard speak- 
ing about funding. 

In other news, Student Senate 
is in the process of planning 
Campus Fest to be held later this 
semester. Campus Fest or 
"Spring Fest," is a weeklong 
celebration of Clarion 



University with various activi- 
ties and events including a con- 
cert, a comedian and a recogni- 
tion dinner to those who have 
made contributions to the cam- 
pus. 

The purpose of Campus Fest is 
to simply celebrate the campus 
itself and to make Clarion 
University more recognizable. 

Reinhard, supports the univer- 
sity event. 

"I'm looking forward to 
Spring Fest... (in fact) one of the 
legacies this Senate is going to 
start is Spring Fest." 

In regards to campus safety 
and environmental concerns, 
Senator Renee Porter pointed 
out that walking on campus is 
sometimes difficult due to the

this semester and will contin- 
ue throughout future semes- 
ters. 

Students and faculty can 
easily access personalized 



information under the person- 
al section. The type of infor- 
mation available depends 
whether a student or faculty 
member is accessing the site. 
Quite similar to the person- 
al section is the campus 
announcements section with 
the only difference being that 
these messages are targeted 



towards everyone on campus. 
When asked if there was an 
increase in students using 
iClarion compared to last 
semester, Clarion University 
Webmaster Adam Earnheardt 
said, "More people are using 
it and you can tell because 
they are starting to build cal- 
endars, use their Emails and

the group feature." 

The group feature is a tool 
that is used to create Web 
pages for school organiza- 
tions. Two types of groups 
exist - school public groups 
and restricted groups. The 
only difference is that 
restricted groups require a 
valid reason to join the group 
upon approval. 

There are limitless amounts 
of things students can do with 
iClarion, such as check local 
and national news, Email all 
group members, chat with 
members, create calendars 
and see a list of member 
names. 

Earnheardt is responsible 
for sending messages and 
approving groups for academ- 
ic and administrative groups 
while Shawn Hoke the direc- 
tor of campus life approves 
student groups. 

Campus Pipeline, which 
created the portal, also has a 



new version coming out, 
explained Earnheardt. More 
upgrades can be expected in 
the near future. 

Earnheardt also said that he 
would like students and facul- 
ty to have the opportunity to 
make monetary transactions 
online for people to buy tick- 
ets. 

Another new feature on 
iClarion is the Eagle Eye. 
This feature, however, is not 
directly linked to a university 
tool where we highlight one 
website that students, faculty 
and employees might find 
useful a month. The websites 
will deal with the region 
around Clarion. 

"One of the classic com- 
plaints by students is that 
they are bored and Eagle Eye 
shows students that they can 
get access to other things," 
said Earnheardt. 

"It's ok, it's not great but I 
kinda like my hotmail 
account better. I haven't had 
any problems with it though," 
said Casey Foor, a freshman 
undecided major. 

He explained that student 
input is especially encour- 
aged and if anyone has any 
suggestions to contact 
Earnheardt in the alumni 
house, University relations at

Black History month causes controversy 



Courtesy of KRT Campus 

The Rev. Promise Lee thinks 
it's important to carve out time to 
acknowledge the contributions of 
black Americans, "to keep it in 
our consciousness, so we don't 
forget." 

But for the past couple of years, 
the Colorado Springs pastor and 
community activist has declined 
all requests to speak at Black 
History Month events. 

The gospel concerts, soul-food 
dinners and poetry readings that 
fill each February exemplify 
what Lee calls celebration mode 
in black culture. 

Those events have the potential 
to "self-medicate" blacks and 
distract from pressing issues 
such as fair housing, transporta- 
tion and education, Lee said. 

Lee's boycott might be a strong 
example of Black History Month 
backlash, but his mixed feelings 
are not unusual. 

The observance, which began 
as Negro History Week in 1926 
and was expanded to a month in 
1976, is meant to document 
black contributions to U.S. soci- 



ety and culture and make those 
contributions a source of pride 
for all Americans. 

But within the black communi- 
ty, there are reservations. 

Some don't like shoehorning 
400 years of history into one 
month - the shortest month of the 
year, at that. 

Others complain Black History 
Month highlights the achieve- 
ments of the same people every 
year - Martin Luther King Jr. and 
Malcolm X, but not less-recog- 
nizable figures. 

Most black Americans, experts 
say, support the notion of Black 
History Month while sharing the 
hope of Carter G. Woodson, the 
Harvard-educated historian who 
founded Negro History Week. He 
envisioned a day when black 
contributions would be recog- 
nized year-round, rendering his 
creation obsolete. 

If anything, Black History 
Month appears to be gaining 
momentum. 

No longer is the organizing left 
only to black churches, the 
Urban League or the National 
Association for the Advancement 
of Colored People. These days, 



Colorado Springs schools, gov- 
ernment, military bases and 
libraries - institutions that aren't 
predominantly black - take the 
lead. 

"I have issues with it being the 
shortest month of the year, but 
I'm taking it," said Pam Shipp, a 
senior program associate at the 
Center for Creative Leadership 
in Colorado Springs. "It's on peo- 
ple's consciousness. Other times 
of the year, some people might 
not be as aware. I like the visibil- 

it 

lty. 

Shipp agrees the social issues 
raised by Promise Lee are impor- 
tant, but she thinks the past is 
important, too. 

"It's nice we can think of some 
of the contributions of our ances- 
tors and elders," said Shipp, vice 
chairwoman of the Black 
Leadership Forum, formed in 
1999 to build a stronger voice for 
blacks in Colorado Springs. 
"That, in my mind, keeps hope 
alive - that we don't have to just 
be defined by some of the dark- 
ness in our existence, that there's 
a lot of brightness in who we 
are." 

Lu Lu Pollard remembers the 



Ku Klux Klan burning a cross in 
the Hillside neighborhood in the 
1930s. 

She remembers how her broth- 
er, Dolphus Stroud, a Phi Beta 
Kappa at Colorado College in 
1931, couldn't get a teaching job 
but was offered a janitor's job. 

Pollard became the first black 
to work in the Fort Carson per- 
sonnel office in 1951. She was 
told not to associate with whites, 
and she quietly complied. She 
eventually headed the accounting 
division, supervising whites. 

"I've always thought it ought 
not to be Black History Month 
but blacks in the history," said 
Pollard, who co-founded the 
Negro Historical Society of 
Colorado Springs in 1982 and 
serves as its president. She is in 
her 80s. "We are part of the 
United States, and we should be 
in the history, not separate from 
it. There's no need to separate 
time for anything in the United 
States." 

In 1998, the Journal of Blacks 
in Higher Education devoted an 
article to the debate over Black 
History Month, highlighting crit- 
icisms that emerged in recent 



years. 

Clarence and Peggy Shivers 
think Black History Month can 
do nothing but good. 

Peggy Shivers was a music 
teacher and classical singer who 
won lead roles in San Francisco 
Bay Area opera. 

Clarence Shivers was one of 
the famed Tuskegee airmen of 
World War II, the nation's first 
all-black military fighter 
squadron. He is a painter and 
sculptor. 

His sculpture of a Tuskegee 
pilot stands at the Air Force 
Academy. 

In 1983, Miller Brewing Co. 
asked Clarence Shivers to draw a 
series of civil-rights era portraits 
for a calendar honoring black 
history. 

He drew Martin Luther King 
Jr., Asa Philip Randolph and 
Medgar Evers. 

Shivers said he doesn't feel 
exploited or belittled. Many large 
corporations do "cause-related 
marketing," usually at the urging 
of black employees. 

"My people have made a con- 
tribution to this country," 
Clarence Shivers said.

" Title IX" 



Title IX could quite possibly be 
the most significant federal law 
for female athletes across the 
nation. 

For those of you who aren't 
familiar with Title IX, it states 
that, "No person in the U.S. shall, 
on the basis of sex be excluded 
from participation in, or denied 
the benefits of, or be subjected to 
discrimination under any educa- 
tional program or activity receiv- 
ing federal aid." 

Title IX controversial in athlet- 
ics not only because women are 
participating in wrestling or 
because the same amount of 
money will male and female 
sports, but because the focus is on 
the necessity for women to have 
equal opportunities as men on a 



whole (not on an individual 
basis). 

Females have not had it easy 
since this law passed. This law 
has been controversial since it 
was signed in 1972. 

Changing this empowering law 
could destroy the benefits women 
have enjoyed because of Title IX. 
It has gotten females off the side- 
lines and on to the playing fields. 
Title IX's important not only 
because of equality, but because 
of scholarships that have been 
made possible. More scholarships 
mean more opportunities to fur- 
ther education, which might not 
have been otherwise possible. 

Scholarships for women athletes 
were virtually non-existent prior 
to Title IX and now tens of thou- 



sands of athletic scholarships are 
awarded to women annually. 

Before Title IX, there were only 
about 32,000 female college ath- 
letes, and now there are more than 
150,000 females participating in 
college sports. 

Because our federal government 
has not strongly enforced Title IX, 
women all over the country have 
filed civil rights complaints and 
lawsuits against their colleges and 
high schools. They do this to 
force their respective institutions 
to implement gender equity. It had 
to come to this. 

Being a member of the Clarion 
Women's soccer team, I take it to 
heart and see it as an insult when 
President Bush and his commis- 
sion have recently contemplated 
changes in Title IX. Hello 
President Bush, this is 
2003... what decade do you think 
this is? 

One change being considered is 
an idea called "the seven percent 
solution." With this change, 
schools would be allowed a vari- 
ance of seven percent in figuring 
proportionality. Again, the whole 
idea of Title IX is equality and the 
last time I checked a 57/43 split 
wasn't equality. 

As far as I'm concerned, Title 
IX is one of the biggest strides 
that has been made for women

Letter to the Editor 



THE MARION MU 



Page 7 



Reader disagrees with front page story 



Dear Editor, 

In the Feb. 6 issue of TL Cfwitn Caff, the 
cover story mentioned that a representative 
of the Political Science Association said that 
Student Senate is "prejudiced" against orga- 
nizations that take trips. 

The next words in the article are my name, 
and a line identifying me as a representative 
of PSA. Well, I've met with repercussions 
over the statement that I, in fact, did not say. 

The wording of the article makes it seem 
as though I delivered the accusatory state- 
ment, and I would just like to take the oppor- 



tunity to report that I never accused student 
senate of being prejudiced against anyone. 

While I do claim responsibility for saying, 
and still believe, that the one trip we take 
each year to Washington D.C. is more sig- 
nificant than a few on-campus events, I do 
not want for myself, or any member of my 
organization, to be attached to the question- 
able "prejudiced" remark. 

I have inquired as to whether the other 
three PSA representatives who attended the 
meeting made that remark, but none of them 
recall making such a statement. 

So, on behalf of the Political Science 



Association I say this: We may not be clear 
on the motivation behind the proposed poli- 
cy, and we may not be entirely in support of 
it, but our goal is to strive for the betterment 
of our organization, not to point our fingers 
at Student Senate. 

I apologize for any misunderstandings, and 
thank you for your time. 



Sincerely, 



Catf

"The Art of Kissing" a lip-smacking good time 



by Amanda Cackowski 
C|arion Call Staff Writer 

Kissing, biting, spanking, 
touching - all actions that were 
witnessed on stage at the 
Gemmell Multi-Purpose Room 
at 8 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 10 
just four days before the roman- 
tic holiday of the year. 

Michael Christian, pen name 
William Cane, author of the 
international bestseller, "The Art 
of Kissing," visited Clarion 
University thanks in part to the 
Lecture Committee of the 
University Activities Board to 
dispel his knowledge on the 
sometimes allusive, but always 
intriguing, kiss. 

Christian graduated from 
Boston College with a political 
science degree, attended law 
school, and then practiced law 
for all of six weeks before he 
"retired" back to Boston College 
to teach English. So how, then, 
did he come to write a kissing 
manual for the masses? 

When asked how he became 
interested in kissing, Christian 
replied, "That's like asking how I 
became interested in food!" 

Nevertheless, Christian began 
researching the techniques and 
likes and dislikes by sending out 
208 surveys to random persons. 
With this information, Christian 
began to transcribe his guide to 
kissing. 

His book, "The Art of Kissing," 
includes personal insights and 
response to thousands of ques- 
tions and comments, which 
Christian receives daily, through 
email and telephone. Christian 
also relinquishes the fears of 
many by offering wisdom 
through instruction on different 
types of lip-locks and also how 
to overcome kissing shyness and 
anxieties. 

"The Art of Kissing" also 
includes the kinds of kisses men 
and women like most (and least) 
according to the results of the 



world's first Internet kissing sur- 
vey. 

Christian has also brought the 
topic of his racy book to stage by 
appearing across America with a 
lecture tour mainly given on col- 
lege campuses. 

How does Christian bring his 
book to life? With volunteers - 
plain and simple. 

As Christian entertained the 
audience with surprising facts 
and kissing anecdotes, three cou- 
ples sat behind him on stage, 
some looking nervous, others 
looking relaxed. 



/ was quite surprised 

when people 
started making-out 

on stage. 99 

-Chelsey Hummel 



Through his introduction, 
Christian kept insisting that the 
kisses discussed were to be later 
displayed on stage. Puzzled faces 
looked on eagerly wondering if 
these alleged demonstrations 
were going to occur. 

Little did the audience of the 
packed Multi-Purpose Room 
know that the Clarion University 
students placed on stage were 
going to be getting hot and heavy 
within minutes. 

"I thought the speaker would be 
talking about certain techniques," 
freshman Communication major 
Chelsey Hummel observed, "I 
was quite surprised when people 
started making out on stage." 

The couples took their cue 
from Christian and began by 
looking into one another's eyes 
as Christian discussed what most 
people are thinking before a kiss. 
Christian continued his discus- 
sion as the audience stared in 
anticipation. 

Soon enough, the couples were 
engaged in a lip lock. The 
instructions became more 



intense as Christian role-played 
different scenarios and types of 
kissing with the Clarion 
University participants. 

While hoots and hollers could 
be heard from the crowd, some 
other felts very uncomfortable 
by the actions displayed on 
stage. Many jaws dropped and 
many "Oh my's" and a few "I 
can't believe this!" rang through 
the air. 

Christian engaged in more lips- 
on instruction to these real 
kissers on how to perfect the first 
kiss, the eye kiss, the nose kiss, 
the neck kiss, the public kiss, the 
wet kiss, the butterfly kiss, the 
friendly kiss, the lip-o-suction 
kiss and many more. 

While for the most part, the 
crowd was genuinely enter- 
tained, I couldn't help but think: 
Was this actually happening? 
Can you get arrested for this? It 
turns out that many of the audi- 
ence members had mixed feel- 
ings as well. 

"It was quite amusing," 
Hummel noted, "but the third 
couple was a little too 'intimate' 
with each other while they were 
on stage." 

This was the general feel after 
the show. Most students were 
entertained but couldn't help but 
feel uncomfortable. "The Art of 
Kissing" wasn't your typical col- 
lege lecture, but did it dance on 
the line of too inappropriate? 

Some students shied away 
from the event while others 
arrived 20 minutes early for a 
good seat. 

Undecided freshman Kara 
Smochek agreed with many that 
it was entertaining because 
"those couples went out on a 
limb to do this." 

While the jury is still out on 
whether or not "The Art of 
Kissing" was a complete suc- 
cess, one can infer those present 
at this lecture left with many lip 
tips, and generally had a lip- 
smackin' good time! Sort of.

Book Review 



Nothing new in 
Cobain's "Journals" 



by Paul Anderson 
Clarion Call Book Reviewer 



At the beginning of 
"Journals," Kurt Cobain 
writes, "Don't read my diary 
when I'm gone. . . .OK, I'm 
going back to work now. 
When you wake up this 
morning, please read my 
diary. Look through my 
things and figure me out." 

Even if you ignored 
Cobain's style of sardonic 
humoiv you'd learn nothing 
from the book. 

Published in time with 
Nirvana's "greatest hits" 
disc, Nirvana, "Journals" 
was hyped as Cobain's jour- 
nals in full. 

It was to be an in-depth 
look into Cobain's private 



thoughts. 

The book is 279 pages long 
with Cobain's actual note- 
books printed on them, along 
with other odds and ends. 

The order is fair, ranging 
from the time just before 
drummer Chad Channing 
joined the group (he 
appeared on 1 989's 

"Bleach," as well as on a few 
cuts on 1992's B-side/demo 
collection, "Incesticide") to 
March of 1994, when Cobain 
attempted suicide by over- 
dose. 

Beyond that, the hype is 
undeserved. 

"Journals" is filled with 
drafts of letters to Courtney 
Love and members of the 
Melvins. Mudhoney, Bikini

Music Review 



Pearl Jam on love, politics and impending disaster 



by Charlie Pino 
Clarion Call Music Reviewer 

Pearl Jam spent the better part 
of their twelve-year career dis- 
tancing themselves from the 
sound that made them famous. 
Many fans have given up on them 
completely while others are sit- 
ting in the wings waiting for them 
to make another "Ten" or "Vs." 

Judging by the bands musical 
output as well as their attitude in 
interviews though, it looks like 
the chances of that happening are 
as likely as Bush inviting Saddam 
to the White House for a martini. 

If there's one thing you can say 
about front man Eddie Vedder, the 
guy who sued Ticketmaster and 
once scrawled the word's "pro- 
choice" all over himself during a 
televised performance, it's that he 
doesn't easily abandon his ideals. 
So it should come as no surprise 



that "Riot Act," Pearl Jam's sev- 
enth studio album, continues the 
band's trend of releasing experi- 
mental material with disregard to 
any expectations. 

"Riot Act" is also a dark album. 
Death, distress and loss are all 
common themes. Fortunately, 
Eddie speaks of these things on a 
universal and socially conscious 
scale, whereas other current song- 
writers come off sounding whiny 
and self-obsessed. (Staind comes 
to mind. Ugh.) 

"Riot Act" is an album that 
grows on you with repeated lis- 
tens. The band has crafted a sub- 
tle record full of hidden melodies 
that at first seem standard but 
eventually creep up on you. 
Guitarists Stone Gossard and 
Mike McCready push their instru- 
ments to the furthest boundaries 
and write unconventional 
arrangements. 



Of course, not every song on 
this album is out in la-la land. The 
songs "Ghost," "Save You" and 
"Get Right" are as close to classic 
Pearl Jam rockers like 
"Evenflow" as you are going to 
get thanks mostly to Mike 
McCready's scorching guitar 
work. 

As far as conventional rock 
music is concerned, though, it 
pretty much ends there. In the 
heavy and mid-tempo 

"Cropduster," Eddie sings, "I was 
a fool because I thought I thought 
the world/It turns out the world 
thought me." 

It's a fuzzy, artsy tune that 
breaks out into a funky riff for no 
good reason right in the middle. 
The background vocals put 
emphasis on Vedders own voice 
and everything falls right into 
place. 
"Help Help" is one of the most 



Pearl Jam- "Riot Act"

intense tracks on the album. The 
song sounds as if it's ready to 
derail at any moment due to the 
multiple-octave singing of differ- 
ent band members. 

The ascending guitar chords in 
the chorus rise until it seems 
something disastrous is about to 
happen, while Eddie sings "help 
me" over and over again. "I've 
seen the man they call my 
enemy/I've seen his eyes/He 
looks just like me," Vedder sings. 

When making an album such as 
this, there are bound to be occa- 
sional flops. "Love Boat 
Captain," sounds like a twisted, 
updated-for-the millennium ver- 
sion of a Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles 
tune. 

"It's already been sung/But it 
can't be said enough/All You 
Need is Love," Eddie philoso- 
phizes, but he sounds like a man 
who knows that he's fighting for a 
cause that's already been lost. 

As I mentioned, this is no "feel- 
good" album and sometimes the 
sublime, dark feeling as a whole 
can become too much. To coun- 
terpoint the failures though, there 
are moments that are stunning as 
well. 

The first is the one-two punch of 
the songs "I Am Mine" and 
"Thumbing My Way." "I Am 
Mine" comes at a perfect time on 
the album, serving as a breath of 
fresh air to the intensity that the 
band has built up. 

It sounds like a sixties folk-rock 
anthem by the likes of Buffalo 
Springfield, complete with a 
lighter-raising guitar solo at the 
end, which seems to be rare for 
Pearl Jam these days. 

When Eddie sings the line, 
"There's no need to hide/We're 
safe tonight," he sounds less like 
a rock singer than a wounded, 
stargazing soldier having a rare 
moment of peace. 

"Thumbing My Way," the 
albums best track, is also one of 
the most beautiful songs Pearl 
Jam have written. The acoustic 
strumming and droning organ 
intertwine with each other as 
Vedder sings about someone he 



has lost. 

He even offers a rare moment of 
optimism, singing, "No matter 
how cold the winter/there's a 
springtime ahead/I'm thumbing 
my way back to heaven." This is 
undoubtedly a cliched sentiment, 
but when Vedder sings it, he 
sounds like he believes it, or at 
least wants to. If only all the 
songs on this album could be this 
good. 

One other comes close. 
"Bushleager" is a gem in the 
Pearl Jam category. This is a tune 
in which Vedder expresses his 
disapproval of George "Dubbya." 
He uses humor instead of anger in 
the song to express his contempt, 
which was a smart move that 
works to great effect. 

It's beautifully sarcastic and 
dark at the same time. Vedder 
speaks the lyrics instead of 
singing them. His deep, monoto- 
ne voice is perfect for the part. 
"Drilling for fear/Keeps the job 
simple/Born on third/Thinks he 
got a triple," Eddie reflects of our 
fearless leader. 

In this song, Vedder also takes 
shots at America's current trend 
of "hollow patriotism," which he 
alleges has become common 
practice since the September 11 
terrorist attacks. 

He later employs this same kind 
of cynicism in the song "Half 
full," declaring: "Don't see men 
as half-empty/See them as half- 
full of sh*t" 

With "Riot Act," Pearl Jam has 
created an adventurous album 
that is neither upbeat nor in your 
face. They have something to say 
but they are not beating you over 
the head with it. 

Pearl Jam is a band with a rare 
sense of artistic and personal 
integrity during a visual age 
where popular music sells by the 
clothes an artist wears and their 
best attempt to emulate the cur- 
rent flavor of the week. 

If you're looking for an album 
by an established band that isn't 
afraid to go out on a limb and hits 
more than misses, check out 
"Riot Act."

Movie Review

"Shanghai" the movie when it comes to DVD 



by Brandon Schadle 
Clarion Call Movie Reviewer 

Riding its way into theaters 
this week is "Shanghai 
Knights," the sequel to the 
obscure western-comedy, 

"Shanghai Noon." Returning to 
reprise their respective roles as 
Chon Wang and Roy O'Bannon 
are Jackie Chan and Owen 
Wilson. 

As with any movie starring 
Jackie Chan, there is plenty of 
action, jumping, kicking, and 
not much else. To combat these 
stereotypical roles that Chan 
has always portrayed, screen- 
writers came up the idea of 
sticking him with a dim-witted 
partner in hopes of attaching 
some kind of drama to the film 
but usually makes Shakespeare 
roll over in his grave. 

From the get-go, we get to 
discover more about Chon 
Wang by meeting his father. 
Wang has been dismissed by his 
father for staying in America, 
and his father serves as the 
keeper of the Imperial Seal, a 
sacred stone that has never left 
the Forbidden City of China. 

As with most any sacred 
stone, the Imperial Seal falls 
into the hands of a villain, in 
this case Lord Rathbone (Aiden 



Gillan). Rathbone takes the 
Seal to London to start a series 
of lies, scandals, and power 
struggles fitting only for the 
pages of British tabloids. 

From here on out, the plot 
sticks out like Prince Charles' 
ears. Wang meets up with Roy 
in New York, and they travel to 
London to get the Seal back and 
avenge the death of Wang's 
father. 

Roy, up to his usual antics of 
lying, cheating and womaniz- 
ing, has seemingly lost all of 
the Emperor's gold entrusted to 
him from the first movie but 
has had a successful stint of 
being in several novels that por- 
tray him as being a cunning and 
courageous hero warding off 
mummies and demons. 

Adding a new spice to the 
film is Fann Wong who plays 
Chon Wang's sister, Chon Lin. 
As a continuing trend in the 
movie industry, we get to see a 
woman having a prominent, 
otherwise male-dominated, role. 
Wong proves that women can 
also smash up the movie screen 
while still maintaining her 
prowess as a woman. In addi- 
tion to slaying the bad guys, 
Wong plays the role of another 
Roy O'Bannon love interest, 
but this time, Roy thinks Lin

Wilson, Aiden Gillan, Fann

Yen, Aaron Johnson

could be the one that makes him 
retire to the "Commitment 
Ranch" forever. 

We also get the distinct honor 
of meeting up with a little 
orphan boy named Charlie 
Chaplin, played by Aaron 
Johnson, and a cunning 
Scotland Yard inspector, Artie 
Doyle, played by Thomas 
Fisher. 

Mr. Doyle, as we come to 
expect, has a sincere yearning 
to become a novelist and mys- 
tery writer, but is not too sure 
of his abilities to write. 



Now, as part of a slight histo- 
ry lesson, we must deviate from 
the film for spot of tea and 
uncover the mystery behind the 
cameos of this film. 

Charlie Chaplin did live on 
the streets of Victorian 
England, but he did not go to 
Hollywood until much later in 
his youth than what the film 
portrays. Later in childhood, 
however, he did become a well- 
known actor in London under 
the direction of his half-brother, 
Sid. 

When it comes to the charac- 
ter Artie Doyle, the writers of 
the script, Alfred Gough and 
Miles Millar, should be tried for 
treason against British 
Literature history. 

First of all, Sir Arthur Conan 
Doyle never worked for 
Scotland Yard at any point in 
his life, and second, Queen 
Victoria did not knight him, as 
the film depicts. Arthur Doyle, 
however, did attend medical 
school, wrote several pieces for 
a prominent London magazine 
called The Strand. 

And as a final piece of the 
puzzle, Arthur Doyle did not 
get the name Sherlock Holmes 
from a clock that Roy 
O'Bannon used to hide his own 
name. 



In a world where conve- 
niences are available 24 7, 
these characters and stories 
conjured up by the writers are 
as true as medieval myths and 
legends. 

The only saving grace of this 
film is that it has Jackie Chan in 
it. If nothing else, when a 
movie stars Jackie Chan, we 
can be assured of good action 
sequences and great stunts. 

Chan delivers on every 
account by trying to keep his 
bumbling sidekick out of 
harm's way. The greatest action 
sequence of the film, in my 
opinion, is the final battle. 

I am sucker for good old-fash- 
ioned swordplay, and in the tra- 
dition of chivalry and knight 
codes of honor, the final battle 
stands the test of time, and not 
just because it is fought inside 
of Big Ben. 

So, if you're looking for 
action, adventure, and Jackie 
Chan, then this movie is for 
you. If, on the other hand, 
you're looking for a movie that 
delivers a good story, plot, and 
somewhat accurate information 
about the times and people of 
19th century England, check 
out the History Channel and 
wait for this one to be dubbed 
"Sir DVD."

"Everybody wants a Call Girl" 



by Amy A. Thompson 

Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

and Chrissy Meehan 

Clarion Call News Editor 



Most of us probably made res- 
olutions at the beginning of the 
New Year to get healthy or lose 
weight. And most of us have 
probably already broken those 
resolutions. Well, the Spring into 
Fitness program couldn't have 
come at a better time. 

Teams of approximately five 



people get together twice a week 
to be weighed and take part in 
the program. 

Each team is responsible for 

creating a team name. Two Ctnm 

Caff girls decided it was time for 
a lifestyle change and thus 
"Everybody wants a Call Girl" 
(team name) was born. 
These are the unfortunate diary 

entries of the two Cfarm Caff girls 
struggling to get back on track 
(figuratively and literally).

Dear Health and Food Journal, 

Well I may have set the record 
for the shortest amount of time 
spent at the gym - three minutes. 
Yes, that's right, three minutes. 
At least I finally found motiva- 
tion to go. 

It's when I arrived that things 
went down hill. First I got 
weighed. Aughh! Apparently, I 
looked at a cheeseburger this 
week because I gained two 
pounds. 
So with my head hanging low, I 
walked upstairs to see every 
machine being used by stick-like 



figures in their Tommy Hilfiger 
outfits looking like exercise was 
their calling in life. I have come 
to realize that talking about exer- 
cise is much easier than actually 
doing it. 

So I got frustrated and 
depressed and ducked out before 
I ran into Amy. I walked over to 
Gemmell and had chocolate chip 
cookies as a reward for actually 
entering the gym. 

I am also stressed by the whole 
food thing; I can't stop eating. 
Last night 1 went grocery shop- 
ping for "healthy food" and

Dear Health and Food Journal, 

I have been doing a great job 
of exercising every day! 
Hoorah! 

Unfortunately, my lack of 
finances has left me to prepare 
the only remaining food in my 
cupboard. 

I did start the day with some 
Smart Start cereal. Then I had a 
croissant sandwich (no mayo) 
with my last remaining $5 bill. 

Dinner was a different story as 
I made a packet of brownies that 
was left behind my previous 
roommate. The brownies had 
apparently been in the cupboard 
too long because they didn't 
bake quite right. I indeed ate two 
of them anyway with a cup of 
milk and some Easy Mac. Better 
luck tomorrow. 

P.S. If I had seen Chrissy at the

around the track with me.

To supplement the 

Joy Technique of potty 

training, we're 

using the 

Role Model 

Technique. 99 

-Dave Barry 



SYNDICATED WRITER, DAVE BARRY 
"She's the life of the potty" 



We have discovered the 
secret of happiness. Our lives 
are filled with joy. 

We have joy morning, noon 
and night, so much joy that I 
don't think we can take any 
more. 

Our secret? Potty training. 
As you veteran parents 
know, potty training requires 
you, the parent, to react to 
every successful effort by the 
child with an outburst of 
near-lunatic rapture, as 
though the child had pro- 
duced a commercially viable 
cold-fusion reaction right 
there in the potty. So that's 
what we do, many times per 
day. 

"GUESS WHAT!?" I shout 
to my wife at the top of my 
lungs, despite the fact that my 
wife is standing one foot 
away. 

"WHAT?!" my wife shouts 
back. 



"'SOPHIE MADE PEEPEE 
IN THE POTTY!!!" I shout. 

"SHE DID??" shouts my 
wife. "LET ME SEE!! 
OHMIGOSH!!!" 

She is staring into the potty 
with an expression of stark 
astonishment, as if she had 
expected to see, I don't know, 
a banana daiquiri. 

"YES!!" I shout. "WE 
HAVE TO CALL BUBBE!!" 

"Bubbe" is Sophie's name 
for her grandmother, who, as 
far as Sophie is concerned, is 
standing by her telephone on 
Full Red Alert 24/7, waiting 
for breaking updates from the 
tinkle front. 

When we call with the 
incredible news, Bubbe is of 
course astounded and over- 
joyed almost to the point of 
total nervous collapse. Pretty 
much everybody reacts this 
way.

plumber came to our house to 
fix a leak, and we had the fol- 
lowing exchange, which I am 
not making up: 
ME: It's the kitchen sink. It... 
SOPHIE (running urgently 
into the room): Tell him I 
went potty! 

ME (to the plumber): She 
went potty. 
PLUMBER: Wow. 

To supplement the Joy 
Technique of potty training, 
we're using the Role Model 
Technique. 

Sophie wants to be a balle- 
rina, and we have told her, 
repeatedly, that if you want to 
get anywhere in the field of 
ballet, the No. 1 prerequisite, 
insisted upon by every major 
dance academy here and 
abroad, is that you be potty- 
trained. 

Over the holidays we 
watched The Royal Ballet 
production of The Nutcracker 
on TV, with my wife and me 
offering a running commen- 
tary, as follows: 
MY WIFE: Look! The Snow 
Queen! She goes potty! 
ME: And there's the Sugar 
Plum Fairy! She's not wearing 
a diaper! 

These techniques are work- 
ing: Our daughter now tells 
us when she has to use the 
potty. That's the good news. 

The bad news is, she has the 
bladder of a gnat, which 
means we go to the potty a 
LOT. 

And sometimes we must use 
less-than-ideal facilities, 
especially when I'm the sole 
caretaker, meaning that I have 
to take my daughter into . . . 
(CUE SCARY MUSIC) 
. . . men's public restrooms 



(motto: "Men Aiming 
Badly"). I used to take my 
son into public restrooms, and 
it was no big deal, because 
boys can, well, you know 
what boys can do. 

But girls need a place to 
sit, and the typical men's 
room has no surface I want 
my daughter to come into 
contact with, including the 
ceiling. 

In an ideal world, I would 
always carry, in Sophie's bag, 
along with the juice box, the 
change of clothing and the 
emergency backup Barbie, a 
military flamethrower. 

That way, as a hygiene pre- 
caution, I could briefly raise 
the temperature inside the 
restroom stall to 1,200 
degrees centigrade, so as to 
kill, or at least temporarily 
stun, the predatory commode- 
dwelling bacteria, which in 
some men's restrooms reach 
the size of mature hamsters, 
which would be a good name 
for a rock band. 

But because of this nation's 
strict and, in my opinion, 
unconstitutional flamethrow- 
er-control laws, I don't have 
this option. Instead, I have to 
painstakingly construct, using 
200 linear feet of toilet paper, 
an elaborate protective seat- 
ing barrier for my daughter. 

When I'm done, I put her on 
the seat, where she produces, 
after a dramatic pause some- 
times lasting 10 minutes, a 
total of four peepee mole- 
cules. 

Which I am of course 
required to be joyfuTabout. 

"YAY!! I AM SO 
PROUD!!!" I shout, startling 
the bacteria and causing the

other men's-room occupants 
to wonder what kind of sick 
perversion is taking place 
inside the stall. 

But I don't care what people 
think. 

What matters is that, 
although this whole ordeal 
has been exhausting and emo- 
tionally draining, we're 
almost through. Soon we 
won't need diapers at all! 

For Sophie, anyway. I give 
myself five years. 



Journals! Cobain's new 
book does not live up to 
hype, from Page 8. 



(Eugene Kelly, actually). 

Along with the letters are 
doodlings, treatments for 
music videos, drafts of the 
Fender Jagstang created in 
1993 and rantings about the 
politics of the government 
and the music industry. 

If you bought this book in 
hopes of actually getting 
into Cobain's head, you 
wasted your thirty bucks. 

Everything in "Journals" 
can be found in Michael 
Azarred's 1993 band-biogra- 
phy, "Come as You Are" and 
interviews the band had 
done in 1992 and 1993. 

Not only that, even if you 
really want to read the video 
treatment for "Rape Me" or 
how he wants to record "In 
Utero," isn't it a bit morbid 
to read the thoughts of a 
dead rockstar? 

Cobain was jealously pro- 
tective of his personal life. 
It's common knowledge. 

Even the thought of read- 
ing someone else's diaries, 
famous or not, dead or not, 
is a bit seedy. 

How would you feel if 
someone read your diary? 
Think about that while you 
stare at "Journals" in your 
local bookstore. 

The final verdict is this: if 
you're inside your local 
bookstore and thinking of 
buying Journals, you'd be 
better off buying a Nelson 
DeMille paperback. 

DeMille would be a better 
read for less money and 
someone's private thoughts 
can stay private. 

Even if you think Kurt 
Cobain's letters and diaries 
should be a matter of public 
record, "Journals" is still 
not worth it.

Horoscopes 

Aries (March 21-April 20). Relations with co-workers and minor business tensions are accented this week. Pay atten- 
tion to small disagreements or misplaced facts. Before midweek, colleagues will be sensitive to criticism. Avoid new suggestions. 
After Thursday, romantic intrigue is on the rise. Expect potential lovers to ask for detailed descriptions of private hopes or long- 
term loyalties. Co slow. Although passions are high, new friends and loved ones may need reassurance. 

Taurus (April 21-May 20). Withheld opinions or social doubts will be openly discussed. Over the next few days, 
expect old friends to admit to deep feelings of isolation or social jealousy. Little of this can be avoided. Watch for past events, con- 
versations or promises to be strong public concerns, After midweek, ask loved ones for detailed time schedules. Group activities 
and home celebrations may require extra planning. Sensitivities may be high. Listen to the needs of friends and relatives. 

Gemini (May 21-June 21). Previously denied attractions are key themes over the next few days. Watch for past events, 
canceled invitations or newly rekindled flirtations to be compelling. Some Gemini's may also experience unusual announcements 
from close friends or relatives. If so, expect social and romantic history to be major concerns. After Friday, evaluate recent finan- 
cial strategies. New expenses or fast debts will be complex and annoying over the next 1 1 days. 

Cancer (June 22-July 22). Home and social schedules may be ongoing concerns before midweek. Expect loved ones 
to ask for solid daily commitments or quickly revised plans. A recent period of emotional isolation will fade. Expect close friends 
or lovers to no longer hide their romantic needs or social excitement. After Thursday, avoid overspending. For the next two to 
three days, forgotten bills or late payments may be bothersome. Stay focused on long-term strategies and all will be well. 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Business plans may temporarily need to change. Over the next few days, watch for unusual 
financial announcements or new workplace schedules. Some Leos may be asked to adopt extra tasks or money responsibilities. If 
so, expect complex negotiations and unclear instructions. Work officials may make heavy demands but provide only limited guid- 
ance. Don't lose faith. Workplace leadership and job relations will return to normal early next week. 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Over the next few days, lovers and close friends may reveal deeply private information. 
Family disputes or past social history may be key concerns. Watch for subtle moments of tension to lead to detailed and emotional 
discussions. Some Virgos, especially those bom after Sept. 1 5, may also encounter a rare home proposal or romantic invitation. If 
so, expect added social information and fast family decisions before the end of next week. 

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Close friends or work mates will offer accurate romantic advice over the next few days. 
Recent group events may be the prime focus of social discussions. Expect others to provide subtle insights or added information. 
After Wednesday revised messages and late invitations are compelling. Expect romantic complications to deepen before next 
week. Fast revisions to group plans may be necessary. Respond quickly to new emotional facts and social details. 

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Long-distance messages or announcements from old friends are on the agenda this week. 
Early Tuesday, watch for unexpected invitations or social facts. Friends and lovers may wish to clearly state their emotional goals 
or short-term plans. Some Scorpios, especially those born late in October, may also encounter a rare flirtation or new workplace 
attraction. If so, remain cautious, Before the end of February, social and romantic triangles will not be easily resolved. 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Public comments and social criticism are mildly annoying this week. Over the next 
four days, expect friends or work mates to boldly offer uninformed opinions, Try your best to avoid controversy. Unrealistic busi- 
ness and social suggestions require special diplomacy. After midweek, creative problem-solving will be extremely helpful in ongo- 
ing family disputes. Gently ask loved ones to fully participate in home or financial decisions. All is well. 

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20). Social invitations may lead to surprising business opportunities. Late Tuesday, respond 
quickly to changed schedules and fresh workplace introductions, Over the next three days, many Capricorns will resolve past dis- 
appointments or adopt new ambitions. Use this time to foster better work relations or research valuable job openings. After Friday, 
intimate discussions with loved ones are productive. Expect friends and lovers to no longer avoid serious questions. 

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. \% Yesterday's relationships may be on your mind over the next few days. Before midweek, 
watch for a delightful wave of nostalgia or intuitive reflection to arrive. For some Aquarians this may actually mark the beginning 
of a revised social and romantic outlook, Use this time to let unproductive feelings or outdated expectations fade. Emotional inti- 
macy and subtle invitations will be ongoing themes, Start preparing; there's much to consider. 

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20), Old memories have a strong appeal, After Tuesday, expect the comments, requests or 
romantic gestures of loved ones to trigger deep feelings. Intense emotions are an indication of meaningful inner progress. Expect 
self-reflection to be followed by a powerful wave of romantic confidence, Many Pisceans will dramatically change their social or 
home obligations. Listen to all sudden insights or intuitive flashes, Your private instincts are accurate, 

\ vour birthday is this week ... Loved ones will find new ways to participate in your daily routine. Over the next nine 

weeks, expect new social announcements concerning family planning, group events or business schedules. Someone close ma\ 

need I n involved in shared activities. After mid-June, watch also for sudden business or employment advancement, 

Plane;. enfc i uggest that prev iouslv delayed career plans can be put into action. Expect key officials from the past to reap- 

ynique information, Late in julv, romantic proposals may also arrive. Remain cautious, however, and wait for

PITTSBURGH 
SPORTS 



The Pens are 

in some serious 

trouble and who 

knows what can 

save them. #* 

-Brent Sutherland 



G 



COLUMNIST HKI Nl ' SUTHERLAND 



The National Hockey League host- 
ed its 53rd NHL All-Stae Game last 
week. Alexei Kovalev represented the 
Pittsburgh Penguins. Mario Lemieux 
sat out due to injury. 

MVP, Dany Heatley, scored four 
goals and had one assist. The twenty- 
two year old is proving to be quite the 
young talent. 

The Penguins know something 
about good talent. They drafted 
Markus Nasland, who is second in the 
league in points right behind Lemieux. 
Nasland, like many great Penguins, 
was lost due to financial problems. 

It's a well known fact that the Pens 
have a lack of funds and are again in 
danger of bankruptcy. Lemieux 
bought the team out of bankruptcy the 
first time. 

Lemieux shouldn't be too discour- 
aged though. Pittsburgh has seen big 
investments fall apart even worse, I 
won't mention his name though. 
Kordell Stewart denied rumors of 
homosexuality. I'd like to see the lie 
decector results. 

On Wednesday, the Pens lost anoth- 
er great player because of financial 
woes. Alexei Kovalev was traded to 
the New York Rangers. Does the 
begining of this column say that 
Kovalev represented the Pens in the 
All-Star Game? Yes, it does. 

Probably because the twenty-nine 
year old had 27 goals and 37 assists 
when he was traded to New York. 
How could the struggling Pens trade 
him? 

The interesting aspect of this trade is 
that the Rangers merely re-acquired 
Kovalev. The Rangers drafted 
Kovalev only to trade him to 
Pittsburgh along with Harry York for 
Petr Nedved, Chris Tamer, and Sean 
Pronger. 

It is now possible for Kovalev to play 
on the same line as Nedved in New 
York. Those were two significant 
players in the trade. The Pens really 
wanted Kovalev for a few seasons 
only to trade himback in the rpime of 
his career. 

Well, what did the Penguins get for 
Kovalev? Nothing! The Rangers 
bought the Pens an extra value meal at 
McDonalds and the two teams called 
it even. 

Lemieux couldn't even get the 
Rangers to take him somewhere nice 



to eat, like the Pizza Pub. The Pens got 
the "underrated" player, Mikael 
Samuelsson. He's underrrated 
because nobody cares about him. 
Great teams are comprised of champi- 
ons and over achievers, not underrated 
players. 

The Pens are only hoping that Rico 
Fata can make something of his 
career. He was drafted sixth overall in 
1998. Since then, he has had two goals 
in the NHL. He sounds like a bust to 
me. He is regarded as one of the fastest 
players in the game. Fast on the ice or 
fast to retire and end his sad but true 
career? 

The Pens did reportedly get so ne- 
where in the four million dollar range 
in the Kovalev trade. T<x) bad that it 
isn't enough for a new arena. Jaromir 
Jagr has publicly said that he thinks 
that Pittsburgh needs a new arena and 
it is hard to disagree with that. 

Ticket sales are down but, Lemieux 
is just trying to stay away from bank- 
ruptcy. 

You know what the Pens did last time 
I went to Mellon Arena? I don't know. 
I didn't even know my name the last 
time I went to Mellon Arena because I 
went to see Axl Rose and Guns n 
Roses. 

Axl Sported a Bettis jersey even 
though he didn't quite fill it out like 
Jerome. Rose later changed into a 
Lemieux jersey and waived the terri- 
ble towel for the final song, Paradise 
City. I don't remember any of this, but 
I was told. 

The bad news is that it doesn't appear 
likely for a new arena in Pittsburgh. 
Pittsburgh has lost so many good play- 
ers because they can't afford them. 
Ron Francis and Robert Lang have 
been squandered. 

Don't forget Nasland, Jagr, and now 
the lastest players, Alexei Kovalev. 
The list goes on and does not look like 
it will get any better for the Pens. 

Clearly, the Pittsburgh Penguins got 
robbed right before the trade deadline. 
Losing Kovalev will most likely result 
in the Pens missing the playoffs. 

The Rangers are now instant con- 
tenders to make the playoffs. It is very 
hard to cheer for a team that can't 
make enough money to keep the gtxxl 
players around. The Pens are in some 
serious trouble and who knows what 
can save them.

CU Divers successful 
at Youngstown State 



by Bethany Bankovich 
Circulation Manager 

The Clarion University 
diving team recently com- 
peted at the Youngstown 
State Diving Invitational on 
Sunday Feb. 9 at the 
Beeghly Natatorium. 

Members from both the 
men's and women's team 
gave excellent performances 
during the competition, with 
some of them scoring their 
highest marks yet to date. 

The meet allowed provid- 
ed an opportunity for per- 
sonal bests, and for those 
competing at the NCAA Div. 
II championship, a last 
chance at competition before 
nationals. 

The divers had to perform 
a series of six optional dives 
during the pre-qualifying 
round at the beginning of the 
meet. From there, they then 
went on to complete a 12- 
dive and 11-dive list for the 
scored section of the meet. 

The Golden Eagles gave it 
their all against the Division 
I school and came out with 
amazing overall perfor- 
mances. 

YSU sophomore Kalyn 
Leveto defended her own 
pool by winning both the 
women's one and three- 
meter diving events. Leveto 
won the one-meter with a 
12-dive score of 522.95 and 
the 11-dive three-meter 
event with a 41 1.85. 

YSU senior Mandie Smail 
finished third in both events, 
earning scores of 453.10 in 



the one-meter and 335.00 in 
the three-meter. 

Clarion University's Kim 
Perez placed second in both 
events, with scores of 
481.20 in the one-meter and 
344.00 in the three-meter. 
Erin Cooper placed fourth in 
the one-meter with a score 
of 413.40, while Sarah 
Swerdlow placed fourth in 
the three-meter and fifth in 
the one-meter. 

"I had the best diving meet 
of my life," commented 
Perez on her exceptional 
performance over the week- 
end. 

In the men's competition, 
Clarion's Shawn Colten won 
both the one and three-meter 
competitions with scores of 
534.05 and 441.80, respec- 
tively. James McGee 
placed second in both while 
Ray Murray came in with 
third in both events. 

The divers return home for 
several more weeks of rigor- 
ous training before attending 
the NCAA Div. II 
Championship meet in 
Grand Forks, North Dakota. 

The meet is scheduled for 
March 12-16. Last year, 
head coach Dave Hrovat 
won both "Men's" and 
"Women's" "Diving Coach- 
of-the-Year" awards. 

With Colten, McGee. 
Murray, and Jessica 

Waldman returning to com- 
pete, along with newcomer's 
Perez and Cooper, he should 
be a prime candidate for the 
award once more.

Indoor Track 



Indoor track recognized by Clarion as a NCAA sport 



by Julie Evenoski 
Call Call Sports Writer 



Track meets? But it's winter! That's 
right, the Clarion University Track and 
Field team have already started the 
2003 indoor season. What's new this 
time around is that it is the first time 
that Clarion University has recognized 
the indoor season as an NCAA sport. 

This means that Clarion's athletes 
can attend the indoor PSAC and 
National championships. Also because 
of this, those doing the indoor season 
are now considered to be two-sport 
competitors. 

The indoor season is fairly unique. 
Everything is in an arena and it is very 
spectator friendly compared to the out- 
doors season," said Head Coach Pat 
Mooney. 

However, as the atmosphere is dif- 
ferent, so are the events. Indoor facili- 
ties are much smaller, so the events 
must accommodate. Throwers get 
short changed because facMities are 



only able to have shot put and the 
weight throw. Those who throw 
javelin and discus have to wait until 
the outdoor season begins. 

Runners run into problems as well 
because of the smaller track area and 
tighter turns. The 100-meter dashes 
as well as the 100 and 110 high hurdles 
are moved down to 55 meters. 

Distance runners can only compete 
in the 800, 1500, 3,000 and 5,000 
meters. Outdoors, these runners can 
run the 10,000 and 3.000 steeplechase 
too. 

Those who are jumpers on the team 
do not have to worry about a change in 
their events. The high, long, and 
triple jumps stay the same as v/ell as 
the pole vault. 

Athletes in relays get more options 
because the indoor season has the 4 x 
200, 2 x 400, 4 x 800, and distance 
medley. 

The medley contains runners for a 
quarter mile, half mile, three-fourths 
mile, and mile. The outdoor season 



only allows for 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 
relays. 

The qualifying marks for the PSAC 
conference meet are slower and short- 
er. The team travels to Bucknell this 
week hoping to add more PSAC con- 
tenders to the list. 

Already five women and three men 
have met the requirements. In the 
field are shot putters Julia Jackson, 
Jennifer Klock and Julie Evenoski and 
pole-vaulter Ellie Till. 

On the track, Jennifer Boerner and 
Evelyn Abiola qualified in the mile. 
Jennifer Klock was also able to quali- 
fy in the heptathlon. 

Two freshmen boys have qualified 
for their first PSAC indoor meet: 
Jarrett Williams in the 55 meters and 
Dan Alderton in the 55 meters and 200 
meters. 

With senior captains Ellie Till, John 
Krol, Kate Szafran, and Gerry Smith 
leading, the Clarion University Track 
and Field team pushes on for a terrific, 
but short indoor season.

Athletic Department honors "Scholar-Athletes" 



Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

Clarion's Athletic Department 
recently honored student-athletes 
at a luncheon who achieved a cum- 
mulative grade point average of 
3.20 or higher, or had two consecu- 
tive semesters of a 3.20 grade point 
average or higher in the spring and 
fall semesters of 2002. 

Freshmen and new transfer stu- 
dents who achieved a 3.2 grade 
point average or higher were also 
eligible. 

The Scholar-Athlete program, 
which was started in 1991, only hon- 
ored only 41 students. However, in 
the program's thirteenth year, there 
are 121 student-athletes recognized. 
The number keeps increasing year 
after year. 

"This is without a doubt my 
favorite event of the year. This 
program shows me the coaches are 
recruiting the right caliber of stu- 
dents for Clarion's athletic pro- 
gram," said Athletic Director Bob 
Carlson. 

Remarks at the luncheon were 
made by Dr. Diane Reinahrd, 
Universoty's President, Dr. Kevin 
Roth, Faculty Athletic 

Representative, Bob Carlson, 
Athletic Director, and Tameka 
Washington, President of the 
Student Athlete Advisory 

Committee. 

Each student honored brought a 
faculty member of their choice that 
has made an impact on their acade- 
mic careers.

inviting a faculty member to show 
them how much they appreciate all 
their efforts," said Carlson.

Top presidential candidates announced 



M £ V S 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Dr. Livingston Alexander, Dr. 
Kyle R. Carter and Dr. 
Joseph Grunenwald were 
selected by the Council of 
Trustees to advance to the 
next round in the Clarion 
University presidential search. 
One of the three candidates 
will serve as Clarion's next 
president. 

The three names will be 
forwarded to Chancellor Judy 
Hample and the Board of 

Governors in Harrisburg. 

All three candidates will be 



invited to Harrisburg on Feb. 
25 to meet with the 
Chancellor and the Board of 
Governors. 

After careful review, the 
Chancellor and Board of 
Governers will select one can- 
didate to serve as Clarion's 
next president. 

The announcement will be 
made March 3. A reception 
will be held on campus 
March 20 to introduce the 
new president to the universi- 
ty and community. 

The presidential search 
committee began the search 
process after the announce- 



ment of President Reinhard's 
retirement. She will retire in 
June 2003. The committee 
met with executive search 
firm A.T. Kearny to discuss 
qualities and skills the next 
president should possess. 
From there, A.T. Kearny 
chose six people who were 
best matched to Clarion 
University. 

The candidates visited 
campus and spoke to groups 
at Venango and Clarion. 
During individual open forums 
the candidates gave a brief 
presenation which included 
comments about why they

War is worse. " 



were attracted to Clarion. 

The candidates also explained 
the reasons they believed they 
were qualified to be president 
and answered questions from 
those in attendance. 

Dr. Terry L. Hickey with- 
drew his name from the 
search on Sunday. 

The Council of Trustees 
held a special meeting 
Tuesday to narrow the four 
remaining candidates to three. 

One of the final three, Dr. 
Livingston Alexander, is the 
provost and vice president for 
academic affairs at Kean 
University in New Jersey. 

He is also a professor of 
Psychology at Kean 
University. He received an 
Ed.D. in Educational 
Psychology and a Master's 
Degree in Curriculum from 
the University of Houston and 
a Baccalaureate Degree in 
Philosophy from St. Joseph 
Seminary College. 

Another candidate, Dr. 
Kyle R. Carter is the provost 
and vice president for acade- 
mic affairs at Central 
Missouri State University. 

He has earned a Ph.D. and 
M.A. in Educational 
Psychology from the 
University of Georgia and a 
B.A. in Psychology from 
Mercer University in Macon, 
Georgia. 

Also in the top three is 
Dr. Joseph Grunenwald who is 
the current provost and vice 
president for academic affairs 
at Clarion University. 

He earned a Doctor of 
Business Administration and a 
Master of Business 
Administration from Kent 
State University. He also has 
a Bachelor of Engineering 
from Youngstown State 
University.

ty members want a president 
who exemplifies similar quali- 
ties they believe President Diane 
Reinhard possesses. 

"Dr. Reinhard helped to create 
a warm and welcoming environ- 
ment here at Clarion 
University," said Terrilyn 
Cheatham, senior political sci- 
ence major. 

Oleta Amsler, chair of the pres- 
idential search committee, told 
TU Cfafion Call last semester, "I'm 
so sad. If there was any way I 
could prevent her leaving I 
would. She has really done a 
tremendous job at Clarion."

Feb. 20, but did not target specif- 
ic buildings on campus. 

Public Safety Director Dave 
Tedjeske said the threat was not 
very noticeable. 

"It wasn't obvious and others 
could have been in the bathroom 
and not even noticed it," said 
Tedjeske. 

Public Safety contacted the FBI 
as a precautionary measure, but 



We don 't believe it 
to be a credible 
threat. 99 

-Dave Tedjeske 



Tedjeske said Gemmell will stay 
open on Thursday. 

"We don't believe it to be a 
credible threat," said Tedjeske. 

Tedjeske said interviews were 
conducted in various Gemmell 
offices, but there are no suspects 
at this time. 

Anyone with information 
regarding this incident is asked to 
contact Public Safety at 393-2 111.

Tom Gusler retires as Clarion University associate provost 




by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

The doors are shut, the lights 
are off and all is quiet. There is a 
bouquet of balloons sitting in the 
dark with the phrases "Happy 
Retirement" and 

"Congratulations" on them. To 
the left is a lit office with sounds 
of fingers tapping on a keyboard. 
Normally, Associate Provost 
Tom Gusler would be the one 
tapping at the keyboard, but 
today it's his wife, Jackie Gusler. 
She smiles as she sits comfort- 
ably in his chair. There are boxes 
all around her, files stacked up on 
the oak desk, pictures of grand- 
children on the walls and Clarion 
pennants and mugs line the 
shelves. 

"I'm changing directions," 
Gusler says about his retirement, 
which will be on Friday. 

"Let the wind blow through 
your hair while you still have 
some," he joked. 

All joking aside, Gusler has cre- 
ated lasting memories during his 
time at Clarion. 

"I've had so many good times," 



said Gusler. "Dozens stand out as 
memorable. To see people pro- 
moted and to see programs com- 
pleted," are what will stay with 
Gusler. The technology has been 
the most remarkable change since 
his first day at Clarion he said. 

He tells a story about the facul- 
ty ordering the first five desktop 
computers when he first came. 

But it's not computers that 
make Gusler's eyes glisten. It is 
because the university has the 
chance to change someone's life. 
He is spellbound by the opportu- 
nity to make a difference. 

"We are in the teaching busi- 
ness, and people are proud to say 
they're teachers. "We provide 
access to opportunity for better 
lives," said Gusler. "When people 
get together the ideas that flow 
out of them are phenomenal." 

And yet it's Gusler's humility 
that draws the affection of the 
university. 

"I just try to get problems out of 
peoples' way," he said. 

"He has a lot of talent and peo- 
ple skills," said his wife Jackie. 
"He likes to help other people. 



He really liked Clarion from the 
time he came." 

Gusler looks out the window 
when thinking about what's next 
in his life. 

"(I look forward to) being able 
to sit back and have another 
phase of my life," he said. 
"Winding down, being able to 
perhaps lead a slightly less hectic 
life, spending time with Jackie 
and our family. I want to stand 
back awhile." 

But Jackie might not let him 
stand back for too long. 

"I'll be doing a lot of domestic 
chores," laughed Gusler. "I have 
a lot of honey-dos." 

Mr. and Mrs. Gusler exchange 
laughs and warm smiles from 
across the room. Mrs. Gusler 
retired in June from Clarion 
where she taught in the education 
department and has been living in 
Carlisle, Pa. ever since. Mr. 
Gusler has been making the four- 
hour drive to visit his wife and 
family nearly every weekend. 

"It's good and it's bad," he said. 
The bad part is spending eight 
hours of the weekend on the

highway. "I think I've listened to 
all the book tapes and CDs in the 
library," he chuckled. "It makes 
the trip seem shorter." 

Gusler will soon be packing the 
last of his things into a U-Haul he 
plans to drive Saturday to 
Carlisle, to be with his wife and 
family. 

But as Gusler leaves, he has 
some advice for the next person 



who will sit in his office and take 
the title of associate provost. 

"Recognize the intellect and the 
quality of the people with whom 
you work," he said. "Involve peo- 
ple in all decisions. Be optimistic 
and practical." 

Gusler leaned back in his chair 
with a smile. "This has been a 
very positive time in my life," he 
said.

Student senate voted (17-2- 
0) to recognize the College 
Republicans as a student orga- 
nization at Monday night's 
meeting. 

The College Republicans is a 
political organization that 
plans to bring Republican 
politicians to campus. This is 
similar to the way Governor 
Ed Rendell was earlier brought 
to Clarion University as a 
guest of the Young Democrats. 
In addition to this act, a newly 
amended Panhellenic 

Constitution, the student orga- 
nization which oversees the 
sororities on campus, was 
passed in a 13-6-0 vote. 



By a vote of 19-0-0, senate 
approved the amended Student 
Recognition Policy 

The "Raise Your Voice" cam- 
paign begun by Senator Mark 
Zmitravich, a freshman sec- 
ondary education and com- 
munincative arts major, and 
Diana-Anderson-Brush of the 
Community Service-Learning 
Office, in conjunction with 
the National Campus Compact, 
will end Sunday, Feb. 22. 

"Raise Your Voice" is a 
national college effort to 
improve student involvement 
in civic life. It is designed to 
increase student activity and 
give a greater voice to students 
in public affairs. 

Among the events that took 
place was Thursday's "Meet 
the Mayor" where students had 



the opportunity to meet 
Clarion's mayor. 

More than 100 students met 
the mayor. 

Also, two awards - the 
"Citizen in Action" award 
sponsored by the Clarion 
County League of Women 
Voters and the "Excellence in 
Service" award sponsored by 
Community Service-Learning 
will be given as part of the 
"Raise Your Voice" effort. 

"It (the campaign) gets stu- 
dents involved on campus and 
in the community," said 
Zmitravich. "I think it's impor- 
tant to combine the two." 

Student senate is in the 
process of a letter writing cam- 
paign to make its voice heard 
by the Pennsylvania Senate 
and House of Representatives.

Keeling promotes National Condom Month 



by Liz Peglow 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

One out of every five peo- 
ple in the U.S. is infected 
with a sexually transmitted 
disease. Approximately 80 
percent of Americans infect- 
ed with HIV are unaware that 
they are infected. 

A weakened immune sys- 
tem due to stress, alcohol or 
drug use, poor diet, or a num- 
ber of other factors can 
increase the chance of con- 
tracting an STD according to 
the website www.condomma- 
nia.com. 

These facts and a number 
of other shocking statistics 
emphasize the importance of 
February as National 
Condom Month. Darlene 
Hartle of Keeling Health 
Center was eager to tell what 
the health center is doing to 
acknowledge National 

Condom Month. 

The health center will have 
a table providing information 
on how to have a "safer 
spring break" in the Gemmell 
Rotunda on Wednesday, Feb. 
26. 

"The health center always 
offers free condoms to stu- 
dents. All they have to do is 
come in and get them," 
Hartle said. 
The condoms come in packs 



of five and are free of charge. 
Although the only fool- 
proof way to avoid STDs and 
pregnancy is abstinence, 
male condoms are an effec- 
tive method of protection for 
those who are sexually 
active. 

Condoms are 70 f 7r - 80% 
effective in preventing preg- 
nancy. However, a condom 
should not be the only 
method of birth control used. 

There are more than 20 sex- 
ually transmitted diseases. 
AIDS, chlamydia, gonorrhea, 
hepatitis B, herpes, syphilis, 
and genital warts are a few of 
the diseases a condom can 
protect people from. 

"STDs are everywhere and 
most people don't even real- 
ize. That's a scary thing," 
says sophomore Megan 
Homer. 

Condoms are also sold over 
the counter and are inexpen- 
sive. Many websites such as 
ww w.troj ancondoms.com 
offer free condoms. 

Because safe sex has 
become such a priority, many 
manufacturers are producing 
condoms in new shapes, 
materials, tastes and designs. 
The changes are meant to 
make safe sex more pleasur- 
able. 

"You can always find a 
variety of condoms," said 



The health center 
always offers free con- 
doms to students. All 
they have to do is come 
get them. 99 

-Darlene Hartle 



Freshman Krystal 

Fitzgibbons. 

Condoms are one of the 
earliest forms of contracep- 
tion and can be traced thou- 
sands of years. Ancient 
Egyptians used condoms as 
early as 1000 B.C. Condoms 
were made of many materials 
including animal intestines, 
linen and leather. 

Rubber became the primary 
material for condoms in the 
1840s. This rubber was 
replaced by latex in the 
1930s and remains the prima- 
ry material used for condoms 
today. 

Recently, the development 
of the polyurethane condom 
has provided a prophylactic 
for those allergic to latex. 
This polyurethane condom is 
heat conductive, odorless, 
tasteless and can be used 
with water or oil-based lubri- 
cants. 

Some things to keep in 
mind when using condoms: 



*Store condoms in a cool, 

dark place. 

*Be aware of the expiration 

date. Most condoms expire 

after four years. 

*Use a spermicide for added 

protection. 

*Use water -based lubricant 

like KY jelly when using 

latex condoms. Oil-based 

lubricants like lotion and 

Vaseline will weaken the 

latex. 

*Don't use condoms that 

have been kept in wallets, 

glove compartments, and 

purses. 

*Be sure you know how to 

use condoms properly. 

*Put the condom on before 

ANY sexual contact has been 

made. Pre-ejaculatory fluid 

contains sperm. 

*Dispose of condoms proper- 

*When putting on a condom, 
remember to leave room at 
the tip. 

For additional condom 
information, contact the 
Health Center at 393-2121. 
Hours of operation are: Mon- 
Fri. 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sat. 
& Sun. 1 - 5 p.m.

condoms can be found at

Focus on Diversity 

by Megan Mahoy 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



For Americans, prison is con 
sidered to be punishment for 
those who break the law or abuse 
freedoms given to them under the 
Constitution. 

Ten years ago in South Africa, 
however, prison was a place to 
repress individuals fighting for 
freedom. After the colonization 
of South Africa by the English 
and Dutch, the Afrikaaners( white 
South Africans) claimed politics 
and economic power. 

The Waterfront in South Africa 
is controlled by the dominant 
economic power of the 
Afrikaaners. For those students 
who did not look beyond the 
modern malls and elegant winer- 
ies the Waterfront had to offer, 
they saw a completely different 
reality than those who experi- 
enced the many townships and 
prisons that still exist today. 

After 22 years spent in cell 5, a 
single cell on Roben Island ( a 
political prison) with only a wool 
blanket and a small roll of carpet 
to separate him from the cold 
concrete floor, Nelson Mandela 
was released from prison and 
elected president of South Africa. 
One of his promises after being 
elected was to build one million 
homes within five years. With 
this declaration, townships were 
created. 

In overcrowded communities, 
hundreds of black South Africans 
continue to struggle economical- 
ly. While the whites that control 
the economic power ride around 
in sailboats and Mercedes, many 
black families struggle to stay 
alive as charities like Operation 
Hunger supply food. Even though 
blacks now control the political 
power, many are still struggling 
to support their families. 

"In many ways, Americans 
struggle with racial issues, but it 
is nothing like these South 
Africans who have to literally 
fight to stay alive," said Lindsey 
Kisler, a semester at sea alumni 

As much of the world watches 
South Africa recover from 
decades of Apartheid , Desmond 
Tutu,former Archbishop of South 
Korea, continues to speak out 
against discrimination and 
encourages the world's people to 
respect each other and end segre- 
gation. 

"Some people may believe that 
what you do ten thousand miles 
away doesn't affect South Africa, 
but what do you do reverberates 
around the world," said Tutu.

The dreams and hopes and plans 
are now theirs. And as I think of 
them, there is a rush of other 
memories . . . Sarah's first 
Christmas when I pulled her on a 
sleigh through waist deep snow to 
get the tree, memoriesof the three 
of them playing, running red- 
faced and breathless in the rising 
wind of a wild October night, 
summer colored urchins playing 



in the shaded brook below the 
barn, whispered wonder and awe 
as when we laid in the yard on 
summer nights listening to the 
coyotes call and watching the 
dancing Northern Lights. 

John Alexander and Warren - 
tall, broad shouldered young men 
- somewhat uncomfortable in 
black suits - yet proud to stand 
with their dad. I have missed so 
much of their growing up that I 
am always surprised when I see 
the changes that have' happened 



since last we were together. It 
seems, while I was busy else- 
where, they have become men in 
their own rights. 

I am impressed with their com- 
petence, their humor, their dignity 
and their sense of right and 
wrong. I think to myself- and tell 
them later - that there were no 
finer, no better men that I would 
have with me in any work or any 
struggle or at my wedding than 
the two of them. 

Suddenly, I think of my father

and his two sons - 1 pray that John 
and Warren will be better brothers 
than were my brother and I. In a 
flash of pain, I see my father - the 
accusation in his eyes at the end. 

I heard Dylan Thomas, one more 
time . . ."And you, my father, 
there on that sad height, Curse, 
bless me now, with your fierce 
tears, I pray Do not go gentle into 
that good night Rage, rage against 
the dying of the light." 

And then there was Sarah. She 
is different from the boys; unique 
and special in many ways; first 
born only daughter. 

There is a difference in my rela- 
tionship with her - we shared a 
time together before the boys 
were born. In some ways, I know 
her better than I do the boys. 

Standing there with her brothers 
she was so lovely and radiant - I 
hope I will be able to stand with 
her on her wedding day. 

I was also thinking of our 
friends who gathered to be with us 
on this occasion. 

My closest friend since my wan- 
dering years was there - elegant in 
a suit he very rarely wears. I could 
not imagine not having him with 
us. I am blessed with professors, 



mentors, colleagues and friends 
from the university who came to 
share that day with us. 

I wonder if they know how 
important this part of my life has 
become to me? Their direction, 
support, guidance and caring have 
made my years at Clarion valu- 
able beyond compare. 

They have, knowingly or not, 
helped me find and develop skill 
sets that might have otherwise 
gone unused - it would be a sin to 
waste the gifts God gave me. 
When I consider family and 
friends, I think that Gennie and I 
have a wealth worth more than 
gold. 

And I think again about Gennie 
- gracious, gentle, patient woman. 
She has accepted me, as I am - the 
good, the not so good, the down 
right bad. She is under no illu- 
sions; she knows how difficult I 
am and loves me anyway. But 
then again, at any age, love should 
be more about taking care of one 
another than about kissing and 
romance.

"Watch Your Step" 



Have you ever seen someone 
trip and fall? What do you do? 
Don't lie, you laugh. There is 
something about seeing someone 
fall that is absolutely hysterical. 

I will admit I am one of those 
people who laugh uncontrollably 
when I see someone fall. In my 
defense, I do feel bad for the per- 
son, but I usually am laughing 
too hard to ask if he or she is all 
right. However, after Sunday 
night's incident I have learned 
my lesson and will never laugh at 
another person who falls again. 

It was 7 p.m. on Sunday when 
the oh-so-great editor-in-chief, 
dropped me off in front of my 
residence hall. 

I gathered al! my items - book 
bag, purse, coat, the hoagie my 
boss wanted and a cup of cran- 
berry juice. Just as I thought 



everything was okay to put my 
foot on the steps, I slipped on the 
snow, dropped the cranberry 
juice and finally landed on my 
back. (By the way, the editor-in- 
chief never noticed I'd fallen as 
she sped off into the snow.) 

Sure it sounds funny, but trust 
me, I did not find any humor in 
wearing cranberry juice and hav- 
ing my back covered in snow. 

I laid on the steps for about a 
minute or two trying to get the 
feeling back in my legs, before I 
attempted to move. 

I slowly walked into my build- 
ing and explained to my boss that 
I had just fallen on the steps out- 
side. My boss then called main- 
tenance for the second time that 
night asking for someone to 
shovel the steps in front of the 
building.

THE MA P/n MM// 



February 20, 2003 



Well, long story short, the four- 
person grounds crew was busy 
shoveling somewhere off campus 
and had not intended on shovel- 
ing the campus Sunday night. 

After I watched two other resi- 
dents fall down the same stairs I 
did, I took it upon myself to 
shovel. Let's not forget that I had 
just fallen down the stairs I was 
now shoveling. 

I felt like I was 90-years- 
old,holding my back and taking a 
break every 30 seconds. 

People looked at me like I was 
nuts, but I told myself I probably 
was saving one of them from a 
humiliating and painful fall. Ten 
minutes later and out of breath, I 
turned to walk back down the 
stairs and I fall again! 

I had a three-day weekend 
because I was in so much pain 
from the falls I couldn't move. 

I give the people who shovel 
snow all the credit in the world, 
especially when they are out at 4 
a.m., but I think the university 
should look into hiring addition- 
al personnel. 

In the spring and summer time, 
I see a person mowing the lawn 
or planting a tree every three 
feet, but now that it's cold and 
the campus is covered in snow, 
no one can be found. Granted, a 
lot of budget cuts have occurred, 
but I think money needs to be 
spent on students' safety.

I have often wondered exactly 
what people are thinking as they 
are standing at the altar getting 
married. 

Were my memory half of what 
it should be, I don't suppose I 
would still be wondering - for 1 



church meant a lot to her. I am 
comfortable with that. After all, 
at almost 50, love is more about 
being considerate of one another 
than it is about kissing and 
romance.

Gennie and how getting married tions that are so typical of hybrid 
might change the relationship that families. I see Patty and Kristi 
we had developed over the last 10 and I see the hope and promise of 
y ears - their youth and my heart is glad 

She was standing there beside for them, 
me - lovelier than I have ever I am sure that I wondered what 
seen her. This was important to they might have been thinking, 
her. I was content with a civil ser- My three children stood beside 
vice, but I am coming to under- me. It is sad that so many people 
stand that getting married in the get to share a wedding day with 

their children. 

The reality of grown children at 
a wedding signifies loss, grief, 
sorrow and sadness that should 
not intrude upon a wedding day. 
But so it does in the case of mid- 
dle aged people marrying for 
more than the first time. 

Death or divorce comes into 
such a wedding as an unbidden 
and unwelcome guest. 

There is grief, sorrow and sad- 
ness when one loses a spouse - 
even through divorce and even 
through a divorce that brings a 
comforting sense of relief and 
release. For even in divorces that 
are a blessing, there is the loss of 
love, the loss of hope, the loss of 
dreams and plans and one cannot 
lose those without suffering pain 
and sorrow. 

At my first wedding the children 
were still the stuff of dreams and 
hopes and plans. 

Now, they stood beside me 
(almost) grown, young men and 
women, having come from me, 
but no longer belonging to me.

Political Columnist 



Nomination for federal court of appeals causing stir 



by Joe Heiman 

Clarion Call 

Political Columnist 



The battle over the federal court 
of appeals nomination of Miguel 
Estrada has taken an ominous 
turn for republicans, with democ- 
rats beginning an unprecedented 
filibuster and demanding that 
President Bush make concessions 
before they will allow a vote on 
Estrada's confirmation. 

At the moment, it appears that 
the democrats have the 41 votes 



they need to keep a filibuster 
going, delay a final vote and per- 
haps even kill the nomination. 

Hispanics are the largest minor- 
ity group in the United States. 
The republicans are eating the 
democrat's lunch on this and, 
rope a dope, they are walking 
right into it. 

Every Hispanic citizen can see 
the Democrat Party stands against 
the first Hispanic nominee for the 
federal appellate courts. 

The Senate Democrats are 
threatening a filibuster on the 



floor vote of Miguel Estrada, Mr. 
Bush's nominee for the federal 
court of appeals. Hundreds of 
articles outlining Mr. Estrada's 
qualifications have already been 
written. 

Countless recommendations 
have been given from the 
American Bar Association, to the 
League of United Latin American 
Citizens. Last week the 
Washington Post recommended 
that democrats pick another front 
to fight Bush. 

Mr. Frisk should have the

democrats do a real filibuster. No 
fake filibusters like Jesse 
Jackson's "hunger strike," where 
he fasts until he gets hungry then

"hunger strike." 

Bring in the bottled water, the

Virginia phone book from 
Senator Byrd. 

Let the democratic presidential 
hopefuls hit the campaign trail 
forced to explain to Hispanic vot- 
ers why they opposed a highly 
successful young immigrant 
called to serve his country. 

Let the democrats explain to the 
fastest growing minority why 
Miguel Estrada, the first every 
federal appeals-court nominee, to 
be filibustered on the floor of the 
U.S. Senate and why it's never 
happened before. 

Abortion- is this the reason why 
the democrats are committing 
political suicide? 

It will be interesting to see 
Charles Schumer explain to New 
York Latino voters, who just 
helped re-elect George Pataki, 
why rules need to be re-written 
when one of their own came 
before his committee. 

Let Barbara Boxer face 



California Hispanics to explain 
why beltway politics have 
obstructed the progress of what 
has become a symbol of success 
to millions of Latinos. 

The reason Miguel Estrada's 
nomination is under scrutiny 
from Senate Democrats is 
because he refused to answer the 
loaded questions that were asked 
of him. 

When asked about his personal 
opinion on key issues such as 
abortion, Mr. Estrada answered 
that he would follow the law and 
that his personal opinion does not 
matter. 

Many Senate Democrats had the 
opportunity to ask Mr. Estrada 
questions during his Judicial 
Committee Hearing but didn't, 
which makes the protest even 
more disingenuous. 

What is the democratic defense 
to this situation? 

Mr. Kennedy is leading the 
charge saying Mr. Estrada is not 
representative of the Hispanic 
community because he has never 
been poor. One question remains: 
How does that qualify Mr. 
Kennedy to lead white people?

nomics major.

Michelle's Cafe helps bring culture to Clarion 



by Jeanette Good 
.... £!?. r !?. n . £?J! Staff Writer 

Michelle's Cafe sits on Main 
Street, amidst other small busi- 
nesses and buildings, and pro- 
vides a warm, friendly environ- 
ment for college students and 
community members looking for 
live, local entertainment, or a 
warm cup of coffee or specialty 
drink during this frigid season. 

On Feb. 15 at 6 p.m., Michelle's 
Cafe held an art show and Open 
Mic Night, with special attention 
held toward Tobeco. 

Tobeco is a literary journal pro- 
duced at Clarion University that 
features student, faculty, staff and 
community submissions of black 
and white artwork, black and 
white photography, poetry, song 
lyrics, short stories, non-fiction 
works, essays and foreign lan- 
guage works with translations. 
The deadline for this year's sub- 
missions, which were also collect- 
ed at Open Mic Night, is Feb. 28. 
This Open Mic Night was extra 
special because The Clarion 
County Arts Council announced 
awards and prizes for student art- 
work displayed throughout 
Michelle's. 

First place was awarded to Katie 
Landes for her mysterious black 
and white photograph "Under the 
Mask." 

Theatre Review 



Michelle Nupp's tapestry 
"Freedom" placed second. 

Charlie Clark received third 
place for his sculpture "Bird of 
Prey." 

Honorable Mention awards were 
given to Sasha Connors for print 
"Factory Woman," Julie Vipond- 
Ware for color photograph 
"Edisto," Rennae Knapek for 
sculpture "Leaf Lady," Rachel 
Loheyde for print "We All Fall 
Down." 



It's good to get 
culture in a little town 
like Clarion. 99 

-Bob Harris 



Numerous other eye pleasing 
pieces of art graced the walls also 
for performers and audience 
members. 

Transfer student Adrienne 
Odasso heard about the Open Mic 
Night from a classmate and decid- 
ed to read two of her poems. She 
had poems published previously 
in her former school's literary 
journal. 

Odasso read "In Passing" about 
Valentine's Day without a special 
valentine and "Tales from the 



River Town" about her hometown 
of Brookville. 

Heather Stewart, with the com- 
pany of her best friend and sister 
in the audience, read two of her 
poems, including "16 Minutes." 
The second poem she wrote just 
before reading and dedicated it to 
her best friend. 

Chris Bassinger performed three 
songs on acoustic guitar that rep- 
resent his "relationship with 
Christ." The first one he per- 
formed was titled "As I Am." 

Jason Nestlerode accompanied 
Angela Magliocca for an acoustic 
guitar duet as voice major 
Magliocca sang. The first of two 
songs remains nameless for the 
time, and the second she titled 
"Success." Magliocca has her 
own CD out and last year played 
live on WCUC, Clarion 
University's radio station. 

Nestlerode and Magliocca per- 
formed previously under the name 
Blinding Fate, but this was their 
first reappearance, without the 
name. 

"It has a warm atmosphere that 
makes it a comfy place to per- 
form," explained sophomore 
Music Business major Angela 
Magliocca about why she likes to 
perform at Michelle's Cafe. 

Sophomore Jason Nestlerode 
then performed two songs solo by 
Dave Matthews Band.

"Michelle's is a great place to 
perform or get warm with a hot 
cup of coffee on a Friday 
evening," Nestlerode illustrated 
his appreciation for Michelle's 
Cafe. 

Although nervous, Jenny Mayer 
seemed like a natural as she per- 
formed two cover songs on her 
beautiful acoustic Songbird guitar, 
followed by a song on the banjo. 
Sipping coffee or tea and 
munching on free food, the crowd 
gathered in cozy chairs or sat at 
tables to watch performances or 



poetry readings. The Open Mic 
Nights at Michelle's Cafe provid- 
ed a warm location to spend a 
Saturday night while being 
involved with a community social

"It's good to get culture in a little

"The Vagina Monologues" are not as naughty as the title implies 



by Jessica Dandoy 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



Don't be scared away by the title. ..or too attracted to it! 
"The Vagina Monologues" may sound dirty, but the actual 
show is not dirty at all! The only thing that's bared in this 
performance on Feb. 12 - 14 at 8 p.m. in Hart Chapel was 
the souls of every woman. 

The stories, told on a bare stage with only mood lighting, 
are moving, sad. hilarious, lustful, powerful and most of all 
original. 



Director Alicia Shropshire noted in the program, "The 
Vagina Monologues' embraces the audience while showing 
harsh truths face-to-face." 

Playwright Eve Ensler put the preformed short stories, or 
monologues, together after interviewing over 200 women 
about their vaginas. The women were of many different 
ages, professions, races and religions. 

She interviewed both single and married women with dif- 
ferent sexual preferences and from various economic class- 
es around the world. 

Eve Ensler wrote in the introduction of her play, "At first, 



women were reluctant to talk. They were a little shy. But 
once they got going, you couldn't stop them." This, along 
with some interesting facts, prepared the audience for what 
was to unfold. 

The content was diverse, ranging from amusing questions 
such as, "If your vagina could get dressed, what would it 
wear?" to powerful stories of rape and sexual abuse. 

Stories were told from a 75-year-old woman who has 
never talked about sex with anyone, to a 6-year-old girl's 
perspective of what the word vagina means to her.

Movie Review 



Affleck's "Daredevil" not daring enough 



by Tyler Fausnaught 
Clarion Call Movie Reviewer 

Stan Lee was and is one of the 
most influential comic book cre- 
ators/publishers of our time. 
Giving us classics like "Spider- 
Man" and "The Incredible Hulk," 
Lee has helped to change the 
landscape of popular comics. 

The heroes in Lee's comics are 
more than do-gooders with a 
heart of gold -- they're individu- 
als with deep scars that resonate 
from past tragedies. Tragedies 
that have left them alone, isolated 
and filled with revenge that 
accompany their unrest and per- 
sonal demons. 

Lee's "Daredevil" was a second 
tear comic at its release and still 
to this day doesn't combat the 
loyal following of its counter- 
parts in the "Marvel Universe," 
but with today's over flooding of 
comic book turn film ventures, 
studios have been left with little 
options and are forced to go into 
the second tear of the comic book 
world and dig up some less than 
memorable stories for the big 
screen. 

If the creators of the 
"Daredevil" film aimed to stay 
true to the comic then they suc- 



ceeded in one way: making the 
film precisely what the comic 
was, second string. 

The film version of "Daredevil" 
stars a hand full of flavor-of-the- 
week actors headed by Ben 
Affleck as Matt 

Murdock/Daredevil. Murdock is 
the son of a former prizefighter 
turn thug for hire played by 
David Keith. After a freak chem- 
ical accident gone terribly wrong, 
(as if chemical accidents ever go 
terribly right) young Matt is left

blind, but soon finds out that his 
other four senses are heightened 
to superhuman levels. 

The sequences where we see 
Matt's new vision, a sort of radar 
that combines sound, smell and 
touch, are cleverly done and well 
crafted. 

After a local lone shark kills 
Murdock's father... well, they 
don't tell us what came next. The 
film moves from young Matt 
resting next to his slain fathers 
body, to the older Matt, 
thelawyer, losing a rape prosecu- 
tion. 

That's right, Matt Murdock 
grew up to be a lawyer, but how? 
How did Matt Murdock, an 
orphaned blind boy from Hells 
Kitchen come to be able to afford 
law school? 

The screenplay written by Brian 
Helgeland is full of these types of 
plot holes. Another example of 
this is when we learn that 
Murdock and his partner, played 
by John Favreau, work pro bono. 

We understand that Murdock 
wants to help those who maybe 
can't get help from anywhere 
else, but where does he get the 
type of cash it would take to be 
fitted for a half a dozen tight red 
leather superhero outfits? And 
where did he send away to get the 
utility pole/walking stick that he 
uses for his crime fighting hob- 
bies? 

Some may say that these ques- 
tions are obsolete in a film based 
on a comic because "it's fantasy." 
Yes it is, but that doesn't mean 
that it isn't subject to the laws of 
storytelling.

"Alias") plays Electra, the 
woman who steals Murdock's

heart after only about three days 
and one friendly school yard 
Karate exhibition that is com- 
plete with a see-saw balancing 
sequence, about seven back flips 
and a lot of flirtatious winks and 
smirks. If that isn't a romantic 
first impression then I don't know 
what is. 

This scene is so ridiculous that 
not even the smooth CGI effects 
could save its cheesiness and lack 
of a brain. 

Rounding off the cast is a 
young hopeful, Colin Farrell. 
Two weeks ago I reviewed the 
film, "The Recruit," also staring 
the young actor and in that film 
he showed promise, but in 
"Daredevil" his lines seem to 
have been written by the master 
of the one liners himself, Arnold 
Schwartzenegger.

Of course, Arnie didn't write for 
this movie, but Farrell as the vil- 
lain Bullseye, is a victim of the 
same harsh treatment that the 
writers of "Batman Forever" 
showed Schwartzenegger: the 
dreaded catch-phrase. 

In this film the catch phrase is 
self-entitled "bullseye." I can't 
count how many times I heard 
those two words in the last forty- 
five minutes of the film. 
Bullseye, the character not the 
phrase, is cartoonish and hard to 
take seriously as a villain. 

Suffering from the same cir- 
cumstance as Bullseye is the 
Kingpin, played by Michael 
Clarke Duncan. Neither of these 
bad guys seem to have a reason to 
be bad. 

"Daredevil" tries to be dark, it 
tries to give the hero a reason to 
seek justice, but as a viewer I did- 
n't feel it. 

"Daredevil" isn't as dark as 
"The Crow," not nearly the 
visionary masterpiece that the 
original "Batman" film was and 
definitely isn't as fun as last sum- 
mer's blockbuster, "Spider-Man". 
The final scene where 
Daredevil and the Kingpin have 
their apocalyptic showdown is 
very pleasing to the eye and for a 
moment I felt as if I was watch- 
ing a movie with a vision. 

But then the conclusion came 
and I realized what I was watch- 
ing: nothing more than a Pen 
Affleck vehicle.

Music Review 



Nas gets a religious complex on his new album 



by Charlie Pino 
Clarion Call Music Reviewer 

Nasir Jones released his debut 
album "Illmatic" in 1994, winning 
widespread critical praise and set- 
ting a standard that would be hard 
to attain by other rappers, as well 
as for himself. Nas, through his 
lyrics, inadvertently created a 
vivid portrait of what it was like to 
be a young kid from Queens. 

It's hard to think of a more 
promising debut or a rapper who 
showcased a raw talent as alarm- 



ingly good as his. In case you 
haven't noticed, most of these guys 
are not celebrated for their artistic 
integrity. 

Nas spent the rest of the decade 
releasing mediocre, watered-down 
albums aimed at the pop charts. He 
gained commercial success but 
miscalculation prompted a back- 
lash and a high-profile quarrel with 
a very visible rapper who maybe 
put it best when he said, "You had 
a spark when you started but now 
you're just garbage." 
Nas suddenly found himself with 



Book Review 



Steven King misses with 
"From a Buick 8" 

by Paul Anderson 
Clarion Call Book Reviewer 

Stephen King has always been known for his abilities to create inter- 
esting yams. "From a Buick 8" is no exception to this idea, but when the 
reader learns that this will be his last "regular" book (he will publish the 
last three installments of the acclaimed Dark Tower series in late 2003 
and 2004), it's almost a relief. 

Long-time readers of King will see striking similarities between the 
"evil" car in "From a Buick 8" and the "evil" car in "Christine." Heck, 
King cops to the similarities himself in the Sept. 27, 2002 edition of 
Entertainment Weekly. 

"["From a Buick 8" is] as close as I want to get to repeating myself-it's 
not Christine, but it's a novel about a car," he said in an interview to the 
magazine concerning his retirement. "I mean, experience tells us that 
every writer gets to a point where he starts to lose his power. And you 
have to ask yourself this: How much is enough? Yeah, I might have some 
more books I can write, but honest to God, I've published damn near 50 
books now. That's a lot more than Norman Mailer's ever gonna publish, I 
guarantee you." 

So, with that in mind, "From a Buick 8" can be seen, not as a high note, 
but a medium so-so note. There are many who say that King lost a lot of 
creative juice after his 1999 accident (he was hit by a van during his night- 
ly walk) and there's some credence. 

Look at the writing of "Christine" compared to the writing of "From a 
Buick 8." 

"From a Buick 8" takes place in Troop D, a rural State Police Barracks 
in Northwestern Pennsylvania (hey-hey!). It's told mainly through flash- 
backs about the discovery of the Buick 8 at a gas station that someone just 
left. 

All the cops know something is wrong with the car, and through the 
flashbacks that slowly come to the present, they learn exactly what's 
wrong with it. 

To give away anymore would ruin the story and while this isn't King's 
best, it's also not the worst (that title is reserved for the You-Feel-Sorry- 
For-The-Tree-That-Died-For-This "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon"), 
and it's still a good yam. 

For long-time Stephen King readers, it's a decent read with a good plot 
and good write up. For anyone considering reading this novel as their first 
Stephen King experience, don't bother. 

Go buy or borrow such Stephen King books as "The Stand," "The 
Shining," "Misery," "Salem's Lot" or "It." 

Have a nice day. 



something to prove, and last year, 
amidst a firestorm of criticism, he 
released the not so subtlety titled 
"Stillmatic." Much like a jilted 
lover with a self-esteem problem, 
fans came running back, despite 
years of abuse. The results were 
disappointing to say the least. 

Nas' new album, "God's Son," 
arrives with no preconceived 
notions and turns out to be his 
most satisfying album of new 
material since 1996's "It Was 
Written." That is to say: merely 
satisfying. 

By standards of Nas' earlier 
work, the album plays out as aver- 
age or slightly above most of the 
time. 

The song "Get Down," which 
samples not one, but two James 
Brown songs, starts things off with 
Nas spitting gritty stories about the 
streets of New York City. This is 
one of the best tracks, but you can't 
help but think that Nas, who boast- 
ed elsewhere that he owns six 
houses, is just going through the 
motions. 

The album's first single, "Made 
You Look," is as good as any sin- 
gle he has released in a long time. 
It has managed to become a hit 
without descending into the sellout 
genre of sissy-rap that artists like 
Ja Rule and Fat Joe make a living 
off of. 

"Revolutionary Warfare" is 
another highlight, taking a feel- 
good sample from the soulful tune 
"We Made It." 

"God's Son" is thematically 
divided down the middle. 
Hardship in Nas' life has apparent- 
ly prompted him to create an 
album with a confessional vibe. 
On the flipside, just as many tracks 
are impersonal. 

The songs I've mentioned are all 
party songs in which Nas raps 
about very random subjects, prob- 
ably freestyling in a lot of cases. 
As far as the quality of the lyrics in 
these songs, they're frustratingly 
average. 

To be fair, Nas is as good and in 
most cases superior to any main- 
stream MC out right now. That, 
however, is not saying a whole lot. 
You can't help but expect more 
from him. 

On the other hand, when Nas 
actually has something to say, he 
can be quite engaging. One of his 
biggest strengths lies in his ability 
to tell a story.

Alive," Nas addresses the contro- 
versy that has shrouded his per- 
sona lately and attempts to set the 
record straight. He tells his story, 
namedropping everyone from 
Biggie to the Wu-Tang Clan. "It 
was my version of the blues," Nas 
says about his music. The song 
makes for one of the albums most 
entertaining moments. 

Nas is at his weirdest on the 
Eminem-produced "The Cross," 
portraying himself as some sort of 
biblical figure. 

When he raps, "I carry the 
cross/Virgin Mary had an abor- 
tion," the only logical response is: 
"Urn.. .okay, man. If you say so." 

Religious references are also 
scattered elsewhere throughout the 
album. (The hints in the name) A 
lot of this was apparently inspired 
by the recent death of his mother. 
"Dance" is a soulful tune in 
which he tells his deceased mother 
that he wishes he "could go back to 
the day he was bom." 

Nas contemplates whether or not 
he will make it to Heaven in the 
song "Heaven," which also fea- 
tures Mary J. Blige. He mostly 
comes off sounding sincere but 
occasionally does stumble along 
the way. 

For example, "Thug Mansion," 
which is merely a rehash of the 
popular 2Pac single, is supposed to 
be touching but just comes off as 
exploitive. Despite the fact that 
2Pac dissed Nas in one of the last 
songs he ever recorded, (or 
because of it, perhaps) they "col- 
laborate" on this one. 

The acoustic production of this 
song is innovative, but the recent 
trend of "collaborating"' with dead 
people is just annoying. Let the 
guy rest in peace. 

Another big problem I have with 
this album (and with Nas in gener- 
al) lies in his attempt to be socially 
conscious. I'm not saying there is 
something wrong with making a 
statement. Some of the best MC's 
ever have made a name for them- 
selves by being political and infor- 
mative. 

But most of Nas' attempts at it 
end up sounding silly, the worst of 



them on this album being the song 
"I Can." 

"I can be/what I wanna be..." the 
irritating, child-sung chorus goes. 
Nas raps in an uncharacteristically 
high voice over a Beethoven sam- 
ple. Someone should have told him 
that these sorts of ventures are not 
where his strengths lie and saved 
him the embarrassment. If I want- 
ed to hear something socially con- 
scious, I'd go buy a Phil Ochs 
record. 

The aptly titled "Zone Out" rep- 
resents some of the best production 
work on the record. The Public 
Enemy-esque, psychedelic beat 
might cause you to think you took 
some bad acid. Unfortunately, the 
rhymes on this tune do not match 
up to the music because Nas lets 
his crew, The Bravehearts, rap on 
it. 

He follows Nelly and Eminem's 
lead, reserving himself a place in 
hell, using his money and power to 
get his no-talent friends record 
deals. That's "keeping it real," I 
guess. 

Throughout the album, you real- 
ly want Nas to succeed. On the 
song "The Cross," Nas tells his 
critics that he used to be the king 
and that now he's "reinvented him- 
self." Words of advice to Nas: If it 
ain't broke, don't try to fix it. 

The major problem with the 
album is that even the best materi- 
al most likely would have been a 
Nas throw-away just five or six 
years ago. Times change though, 
and in hip-hop, that is a lifetime. 

If you are a hardcore Nas fan or 
enjoy the majority of mainstream 
rap that comes out these days, 
chances are that you'll like this 
album. If, however, you're waiting 
for Nas to make the album he is 
truly capable of, this isn't it. 

Hey, I have an idea. If you were 
going to buy this album, but now 
are thinking twice about it, don't 
do it. Trust me. 

Maybe boycotting Nas' music is 
the only way he'll ever make 
another good album. It's a long 
shot, but what the hell. 

Excuse me, I'm going to find 
"Illmatic."

However, such stories as a poor

performances around the world 
have helped raise awareness on 
violence against women. 

The show has raised millions 
of dollars that have gone to non- 
profit organizations, rape crisis 
centers, and women's shelters 
with these same concerns. 

"The Vagina Monologues" has 
been performed on over 900 col- 
lege campuses. 

The proceeds from Clarion's 
performances are benefiting 
PASSAGES and SAFE (Stop 



Abuse for Everyone), local pro- 
grams dealing with sexual 
assault victims and domestic 
violence cases. 

For all the men who assumed 
the show was just for women, 
men were actually encouraged 
to go. 

Before the play began, men 
were invited to sign a pledge to 
stop violence against women 
and take a stand when they see 
women's rights being threat- 
ened.

However, the graphic nature 
and language used during the 
play was only suitable for a 
mature audience, whether man 
or woman. 

None of the play's content was 
discriminatory or negative 
towards males in any way. 

Whether humorous or heart- 
breaking, the stories told during 
the performance covered very 
important topics and presented 
the hardships women have to 
endure throughout the world. 
The monologues were well done 
and put together. 

The rendition of the content 
performed by the actress was 
strong and inspiring. The 
actresses were: 

•Terrilyn Cheatham 

•Mary Reed 

•Kenyata Dawson 

•Jacque Walsh 

•Alysia Delp 

•Jen Godown 

•Vanessa Carlson 

•Amy Green 

•Audra Turner 

•Kate Szafran 

•Alicia Shropshire 
The actresses opened them- 
selves as women to tell these 
tales. 

The performance was an enter- 
taining learning experience that 
seemed to leave the audience 
satisfied.

The prep look on 

guys is extremely easy 

to pull off, wrinkles 

become a statement 

and messy hair can be 

hidden under a 

knit cap. 99 

-Patrick Hannay 



PATRICK HANNAY 
FASHION/POP CULTURE COLUMNIST 
Pat Culture - "Going for a preppy look?" 



I'm back. Clarion. Ready, 
willing, and able to spoon- 
feed you the latest and great- 
est in style and sensibility. In 
this installment I'm going to 
get down to business and start 
really talking about current 
trend and advice on one spe- 
cific look per article. This 
time, I'm going for the obvi- 
ous (and the jugular), the 
Abercrombie look, aka -- 
Preppy. 

Personally, this isn't my 
scene. I've tried and it just 
doesn't look right on me. But I 
know how to make people 
look good. 

In some cases the straight up 
preppy look is the best way to 
go. The main draw of this 
style is its simplicity and sim- 
ple patterns. 

On girls, this look accentu- 
ates their natural body. It's 
usually tight fitting while not 
being revealing and trashy. 

On guys, the look is flat out 
sporty, baggy, and in a lot of 
cases "the only clean thing 
left." 

Even though it's super sim- 
ple and everything goes with 
everything, we all know it's 
crazy expensive. Hold onto 
something, here we go. 

Ladies first, it's only gentle- 
manly. Girls listen up: if 
you're working the prep gear, 
remember to spruce it up with 
some accessories. Putting on 
just that American Eagle v- 
neck cut shirt and the muddy 
bleach Aeropostale jeans is 
going to look boring. 



This is where your personal 
style is really going to shine. 
Clothes are clothes but acces- 
sories turn drab to fab. 

One of the most accessible 
accessories is earrings. Go 
glam with some big star 
hoops. To give a little more 
big star appeal, try a pair of 
middle sized hoops. The 
important thing with earrings 
is to never double up big ones 
if you have multiple piercings 
in each ear. One larger pair 
and studs for the rest, break 
this rule and you're going to 
look like you're dragging 
around a scrap heap by your 
ears. 

Rings are good, but only a 
few and make sure they're not 
super flashy. For some reason, 
rings don't mesh well with 
prep style for girls. 

Bracelets are pretty standard 
issue and it's hard to mess it 
up so go wild. Necklaces are a 
great idea as long as they go 
with the look and don't point 
directly at your breasts. You 
have a face for a reason. 

Speaking of faces, onto 
makeup. With most prep looks 
a nice mild makeup looks per- 
fect, as much as I love girls 
with a hint of wild in their 
makeup, it doesn't go over 
extremely well here. Keep it 
nice and mellow with flesh 
tones. 

Your turn guys. First tip, the 
"surfer" prep look is over. 
Way too many guys have tried 
or are trying it. Think long 
and hard about that before you

try to cop the medium length 
curls and half asleep look. 
Trust me on this one. 

The prep look on guys is 
extremely easy to pull off, 
wrinkles become a statement 
and messy hair can be hidden 
under a knit cap. In effect it's 
the easiest look for college 
guys because it requires 
almost zero effort. But even 
within that you can pull off a 
prep look that takes some 
effort. 

For more of a classy style 
preppy, think the guys in the 
Abercrombie ads. That's the 
high-class prep look, and it 
involves quite a bit of male 
primping. You know what I'm 
talking about: hair gel, 
cologne and time to pick out 
stuff that really clicks. 

And guys, accessories aren't 
just a girl thing. Puka shell 
necklaces, stone fragment 
chains, different piercings -- 
it's all good. There really isn't 
a lot of thought put into the 
guy preppy look. It's probably 
the simplest of the looks for 
guys. 

That's pretty much it for a 
quick skim of the preppy look. 
The best idea for this style is 
to keep it simple and cool. 
While you can inject personal 
style into this, don't go over- 
board. 

Remember kiddies, above 
all, it's you wearing the 
clothes, not the clothes wear- 
ing you. It's up to you what 
you wear, but always remem- 
ber to keep it real. If you like 
it, go with it no mater what 
anyone else says. 

Peace, love and style 
Clarion, I'm done.

"Everyone Wants a Call Girl" 
continues their journey to fitness 



by Amy A. Thompson 

Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

and Chrissy Meehan 

Clarion Call News Editor 



••••*•*••*#*•••••«*•••< 



>•••••••••< 



"Spring into Fitness" is 
helping two Clarion Call girls 
who have acquired the team 
name of "Everybody Wants a 
Call Girl," to change their eat- 
ing and exercise lifestyles. 
Here are the often times sad, 
but true excerpts from their 
food and health journals. 

Dear Food and Health Journal, 

Chrissy and I drowned our 
Valentine's Day singlehood 
sorrows by splitting a large 
pizza. It was like eating four 
slices of heaven. Also, it was 
great to see Chrissy eating 
something besides ravioli. 

Unfortunately I hate to 
report that I'm still nursing a 
serious pop ( or as some peo- 
ple like to call it- soda) addic- 
tion. I'm trying to keep it 
under control by only having 
two per day. I know it's 
killing my kidneys, but I'm 
not going to deny myself any- 
thing and go on a nonstop pop 
drinking binge. 

I also attended a wedding 
where I had a piece of cake 
and took pieces home with 
me. Who can deny themselves 
butter cream frosting? 

At least I'm excercising 
about five times per week. 
And even better news is that 
Chrissy is now acknowledging 
the Rec. Center's existence. 
Until next time, 
-Amy 



Dear Health and Food Journal, 
I did not exercise this week, 
nor did I eat healthy. 
However, I did sit in front of 
my computer for more than an 
hour bidding on exercise tapes 
from some guy in Texas. I 
won too--$86 for five workout 
videos and the "Fanny Lifter". 
Supposedly it is some sort of 
14-inch exercise step that 
trims and tones your fanny. 
Hopefully I will take the 
videos and step out of the box 
and not let them sit in the cor- 
ner of my roon with the rest of 
my exercise equipment. 

As to why I didn't eat 
healthy I can't say. I just 
found it difficult to eat the 
celery instead of the Snickers. 
Who would actually want too? 
I did order wings and pizza on 
two different occasions last 
week--one because I got a 
good grade on a test and the 
other because I recovered 
from my cold. All the health 
experts say you have to 
reward yourself to stay moti- 
vated. In my case 1 am 
rewarding myself in hopes 
that I become motivated. Well, 
hopefully the Texan will send 
the tapes and the "Fanny 
Lifter" soon and by next week 
I will have lost 30 pounds. I 
believe the phrase is "keep 
dreaming". 
-Chrissy 

Will Chrissy make it to the 
Recreation Center? Will Amy 
switch to diet pop? Stay 
tuned.

Horoscopes 

Aries (March 21-Aprii 20). Business negotiations are annoying this week. Even though new information may be needed from 
authority figures, vital communications or messages will be delayed. Some Aries natives may also find that short-term financial decisions are 
unusually complex. Workable choices will arrive later in the week. Remain patient and avoid public discussions. After Friday, a close friend 
may request detailed family or romantic advice, Be supportive. Strong opinions are needed, 

Taurus (April 21-May 20). Wisdom and social diplomacy are strong assets this week. After Tuesday, expect a friend or lover to 
present an unusual problem for consideration, Family history, conflicting values or complex social disagreements may be on the agenda, Realize 
that change is unlikely. Respond with caution and wait for signs of acceptance. Thursday through Sunday, love relationships require serious dis- 
cussion and new emotional rules, Listen to your instincts and ask for more time, 

Gemini (May 21-June 21), Money and long-term family security require detailed discussion this week, Monday through Thursday, 
a sudden financial choice or new route to success may arrive, Many Geminis will expand their workplace responsibilities or begin planning a 
secondary source of income, Listen carefully to the advice of friends, After Friday, a new attraction may be distracting. Passionate encounters 
are delightful but brief, Stay balanced, 

Cancer (June 22-JuIy 22), Business partnerships may seem abrupt or strained this week. Pay close attention to established power 
struggles between authority figures, After midweek, many Cancerians will increase their private knowledge of workplace tactics or long-term 
corporate agendas, All is well, so not to worry. 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Work discussions are misleading this week. Even though officials and colleagues are cheerful or optimistic, 
recent policy changes or workplace improvements may be bothersome. Watch for unexpected emotions or subtle criticisms. Take none of it 
personally. Tensions will soon be forgotten. After Thursday, attitudes and group opportunities improve. New workplace challenges and social 
introductions will be worthwhile. Stay open to fast emotional changes, 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22), Over the next few days, romantic seduction will captivate your time and attention, For many Virgos, a 
new attraction or surprising proposal may soon arrive, Emotional energy is positive and rewarding this week, Trust your instincts and work to 
expand romantic and social commitments. Some Virgos may also encounter a key announcement from a family member, Watch property doc- 
uments and financial proposals for valuable clues, Relocation may be a key theme, 

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23), Family and romantic pressures are intense before midweek. No lasting effects can be expected, so not 
to worry. Do, however, watch for lovers and close relatives to strongly disagree concerning schedules, traditional roles or family functions. After 
Thursday, opinions and attitudes will shift. Key positive influences may include changing group events or public displays of affection. An oddly 
demanding week. Stav alert and find positive outlets for strong emotions. 

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Social messages will be confusing this week, Before Wednesday, expect friends or loved ones to be 
misinformed or unclear about their priorities, Quick disagreements or group tensions may be amusing, Watch for giddy moments of conflict or 
fast reversals, For many Scorpios, this unusual social energy will initiate an intense period of romantic increase or new introductions, Private 
passions will be high. Accept all invitations and watch for subtle changes in key friendships, 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21), Late Tuesday, a colleague may ask for personal advice or special favors. Remain cautious, Although 
no long-term affects can be expected, workplace politics may be privately complicated. Expect business conflicts or subtle power struggles to 
be revealed within the next few days. If possible, avoid public statements or unusual requests. After Thursday, hidden romantic attractions will 
be made obvious. Don't overreact. Social acceptance may be a key concern. 

Capricorn (Dec, 22-Jan. 20), Romantic flirtations are extremely distracting this week, Although all is well, do avoid mildly uneth- 
ical romantic overtures or workplace complications. Over the next few days, private relationships may interfere with important public or busi- 
ness events. Pace yourself and react with polite, calculated gestures, After Friday, watch for a quick flurry of financial information, Past agree- 
ments may contain mistakes, Verify all documents before submitting final applications. 

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19). Early this week, revised work assignments may demand extra concentration. Apply new mental ener- 
gy to ongoing team problems and all will be well, Some Aquarians will also encounter a series of newly assigned projects, If so, stay alert and 
expect detailed reports and written proposals to be complicated by faulty numbers for the next three weeks, After Friday, a quick moment of 
passion may trigger romantic decisions, Carefully consider the feelings of all involved, 

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20). Love and long-term relationships will soon be back on track. Late Tuesday, expect close friends to no 
longer influence the feelings or actions of loved ones. Private romantic promises and new intimacy are strongly accented over the next few days. 
Enjoy the genuine attention of romantic partners and wait for meaningful change, After Friday, unexpected reversals in a recent financial agree- 
ment are highlighted. Someone close may have overextended his or her finances. Stay calm. 

If your birthday is this week ... Private romantic attractions will soon become publicly challenging. Over the next 10 weeks, 
expect new relationships to demand fast social changes or increased access to your home life, Trust your instincts and react with caution. Before 
May, emotional promises and fresh romantic proposals may be easily reversed. By mid-June, however, stability and lasting decisions will arrive. 
Early this summer, watch also for unexpected workplace advancements or job promotions. Ask for new responsibilities. Almost three years of 
sluggish career ambition is fading.

Indoor Track members set records at Bucknell 



by Julie Evenoski 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

The Clarion University Golden 
Eagles Track and Field team faired 
particularly well this last weekend at 
Bucknell University. 

Nineteen schools competed at the 
15th Annual Winter Classic Indoor 
Meet held in Lewisburg, 
Pennsylvania. 

Despite the almost eighteen hour 
day between traveling and compet- 
ing, several of the athletes were able 
to set University as well as personal 
records. 

Junior Jen Boerner broke the out- 



door record for the 3,000 meters at 
this indoor meet with a time of 
10:38.42. Jen also had a terrific 
10th place finish in the 800 meter 
run. 

Her time was 2:25.31. Sophomore 
Mel Terwilliger set personal records 
for the 3,000 meters (10:40.76) and 
in the 5,000 meters (18:27.89). 

Freshman Dan Alderton finished 
with an impressive 5th place in the 
55-meter dash with a time of 6.61. 
The 500-meter dash is not usually an 
option to run, but was another event 
added to the list during this meet. 
Freshman Susan Despot finished 
12th with a time of 1:28.64. 



This last weekend's women PSAC 
qualifiers were: Katie Jarzab 
(5,000), Mel Terwilliger (3,000 and 
5,000), Evelyn Abiola (800), and Jen 
Boerner (800 and 3,000). The 4 x 
400 relay team consisting of Sarah 
Rodgers, Susan Despot, Jen Boerner, 
and Evelyn Abiola also qualified for 
the PSAC championships on March 
1-2. 

Some more of the men on the track 
team qualified as well. They 
include: Dave Duriancik (3,000 and 
5,000), Brandon Phillips (55 m), 
Gerry Smith (800), and Jarrett 
Williams (200 m). 

This Saturday, the Track and Field 



team travels to Kent State 
University to face even tougher 
competitors. 

Those in the field events will be 
able to improve their heights and 
distances because the event schedule 
has them competing earlier in the 
day. 

"At Kent State, because of the bet- 
ter track and intense competition, we 
will more likely see faster times," 
said assistant coach Gregg Wade. 

With the PSAC conference meet 
just around the corner, the Track 
team is looking forward to a great 
indoor season finish. 



Lady Eagles hit a 
bump in the road 
with loss to IUP 



by Ron Peters 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

The Clarion Women's 
Basketball team dropped to 
14-9 overall and 4-4 in the 
conference with a 71-53 loss 
at IUP last Saturday. 

The game was big for both 
sides. Clarion was looking 
for revenge after a devestat- 
ing overtime loss last month 
as well looking to increase 
the half game lead over the 
Indians. 

The Lady Eagles trailed 
32-26 at halftime and with 
nine minutes left, were still 
at a six point defecit. 

Just as it was in reach for 
Clarion to pull ahead, IUP 
went on an 8-1 run and went 
up 54-41 and never looked 
back. IUP swept the season 
series with the win. 

Sophmore Heather Cigich 
led the way with 18 points 
and added 1 1 rebounds. 
Senior Tameka Washington 
added 14 points and five 
rebounds off the bench. 
Clarion's starters only com- 
bined to score 21 of the 53 
total points. 

"Not taking anything away 
from Indiana, who played 
well, but we got away from 



our game plan and didn't 
execute like we know we 
can," said Head Coach Gie 
Parsons. 

With only four games 
remaining, there is little 
room for error on the Lady 
Eagle's part. The team con- 
trols their playoff picture 
and knowing the drive and 
determination they have, 
fans know they won't let it 
slip away that easily. 

"The season is not over 
yet, we control our own des- 
tiny," added Parsons. 

The team will play their 
final home game this season 
Sunday as they face Lock 
Haven on "Senior Day". 

Clarion University will bid 
farewell to four seniors when 
Jen Duhnke, Allison Stodart, 
Tameka Washington, and 
Courtney Willman will take 
the court one last time in 
Tippin Gym. 

These four ladies know 
that they do not want the 
season to end without a run 
in the playoffs. 

"The next four games will 
play a big role in getting to 
the playoffs, our team will 
go as far as the senior lead- 
ership takes up," said 
Willman.

a 



Pitt has high 
hopes this season, 
but they still 

have some 
issues to settle. 99 

-Brent Sutherland 



COLUMNIST BRLNT SUTHERLAND 



The date is January 25. The time is 
approximately midnight I find myself at 
a south Oakland bar, Cumpie's. I am very 
close to the "black out" stage that would 
later alter my memory. Before this, I have 
an off recollection. 

1 look around the bar and nothing seems 
peculiar. I check again and realize there is 
gangly looking man at the bar. 

I approach this freakish looking charac- 
ter with suspicion. I had to walk very 
close to the individual to escape the blur- 
ry double- vision. 

Sitting at the bar with a beer in one hand 
and a lit cigarette in the other hand is the 
Pittsburgh Panthers, 6 foot five, 238 
pound forward, Donatas Zavackas. 

He is orginally from Klaipeda, 
Lithuania, but attended Saint Vincent- 
Saint Mary High School in Akron, Oh. 

We talked briefly about college basket- 
ball. He was a fairly nice guy, but 
extremely weird and awkward. He 
mumbles his words with an accent that 
was nearly unrecognizable. When asked 
about the Duke loss, he said he didn't 
even knw that they lost 
Zavackas apparently was celebrating his 
team's 65-64 win over Georgetown earli- 
er that night With beer and cigarettes? 
Zavackas lit up several cigarettes that 
evening. 

This strikes me because Pitt is chasing a 
Final Four this year. They have flirted 
with the number one ranking several 
times. In fact when I met Zavackas, Pitt 
was ranked number two. However, the 
roller coaster season continues tor Pitt 

Pitt has a chain smoking forward. 
Brandon Knight the team's point guard, 
is shooting a horid 45 percent from the 
free throw line. As a team, the Panthers 
shoot 63.7 percent from the line. For a 
team that has championship dreams, 
these numbers will only contribute to an 
early round loss in the NCAA tourna- 
ment 

The team has recently shown improve- 
ment Knight broke out of his slump this 
past Tuesday against Georgetown with a 
season high 23 points along with six 
assists. Amazingly, Knight went six for 
six at the free throw line. 

Zavackas played his first game as a 
reserve this season. H e responded with 
17 points shooting three of four from 
beyond the arc. 1 bet he celebrated with 
beer and a pack of smokes. 

The 82-67 win over G-town was a big 
win for Pitt The Panthers were stunned 



at Syracuse as the Orangemen and their 
fans stormed the court despite a last sec- 
ond half shot that went in for Brandon 
Knight 

The ruling was that Knight's shot was 
after regulation ended. 

Fast ftTward to February 9 where the 
Panthers lost again by tw< \ but this time to 
Notre Dame. 

Another loss last Saturday to Seton Hall 
gave the Panthers a three game losing skid 
on the road. The intense weather around 
D.C. may have helped Pitt end their road 
game streak. 

On Sunday, and again on Monday, the 
Panthers had to push the team bus out of 
the snow. Maybe this helped the team's 
unity. I can imagine Zavackas watcning 
with a beer and cigarette though. 

All joking aside, the Panthers have a 
quality team this year. The brand new 
Petersen Center has inspired the Panthers. 
Julius Page is a sick talent with a 39- 
inch vertical. His dunks are amazing, but 
his defense is very underrated. 

Carl Krauser has been a pleasant sur- 
prise. The "ghetto" point guard from the 
Bronx plays hard, but with a twist of raw- 
ness. Jaron Brown joins, Krauser, Page, 
and Knight in the backcourt Brown has 
had some very clutch plays this season. 

The front court features Zavackas, 
Chevon Troutman, and Ontario Lett 
Lett's improved offensive skills have been 
a huge key to Pitt's success. Also at times, 
Troutman is Pitt's best overall player. 

As a team, the Panthers play a stingy 
defesne that is regarded as one of the best 
in the nation. Pitt relies on defense to wear 
down teams. So far this season, it has 
worked rather well. The Panther possess 
a record of 184 and 8-3 in the Big East 
Pitt has high hopes this season, but they 
still have some issues to settle. The free 
throw percentage must increase. This is 
the one facet of the game that could be 
fatal for Pitt Zavackas needs to quit 
smoking. It's no wonder why he's 
always winded 

We are appraoching "March Madness" 
in college basketball and Pitt will be a very 
intriging team to keep your eye on. 

They have an excellent squad defen- 
sively with enough offense to take them 
deep in the tournament 
Can Pitt make the Final Four? Yes. Will 
Pitt make the Final Four? It's only 
February, but a team that shoots so poorly 
from the foul line most likely will not

Clarion students compete in SRU's 
annual Winter Judo Tournament 



by Dr. P-Jobb Andor 
Contributing Sports Writer 



Clarion University sophmore, Chris 
Skrekla (Erie) and graduate student James 
Johnson (Bradford), a secondary educa- 
tion/science major, recently took gold and 
bronze finishes at Slippery Rock's Annual 
Winter Judo Scholastic Tournament. 

This tournament attracts collegiate Judoka 
(Judo students) from colleges and universi- 
ties throughout Pennsylvania. Other partici- 
pants come from such places as West Point 
and Annapolis, Md. 

In the tournament, Skrekla, a green belt, 
won both of his matches by a full point won, 
also know as Ipon. 

In his first match he pinned his opponent 
and in the second match he won by choking 
out his opponent. Winning those two match- 



es secured the gold medal for the 220 pound 
division. 

Skrekla's entire family participated in the 
event. His mother and brother assisted at 
the score table. This was the first time an 
entire family participated in the judo tourna- 
ment. 

The team was founded by head coach Dr. 
P-Jobb Andor. John Miller is the assistant 
coach. 

Miller, a second degree brown belt, 
worked as an official at the pools table, 
matching prospective players and assisted at 
the score table. 

P-Jobb assisted in the tournament set-up 
and coached and refereed many of the 
matches. 

He is also an executive board member and 
treasurer of the Eastern Collegiate Judo 
Association. 



If anyone is interested in 
joining the Hun Judo and 
Self Defense Program, you 
are invited to look in and 

join on Tuesday and 

Thursday evenings from 

7-9 p.m. at Tippin Gym in 

the wrestling room.

Wrestling 



Golden Eagle squad bids farewell to four seniors 



by Beth Bittner 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

The Clarion University Golden Eagles 
fell short against the #17 ranked 
Chippewa's of Central Michigan 
University, 23-14, in this past Sunday's 
NCAA Division I match. 

It was "Senior Day" for the Golden 
Eagles and the last time they would wrestle 
in Tippin Gymnasium. Seniors Rad 
Martinez (133), Jim Perry (149), Eric 
Mausser (197), and John Testa (Hwt) were 
honored in pre-match ceremonies. 

The match started out at the (184) weight 
with Eric Spence getting pinned to give the 
Chippewa's a 6-0 lead over Clarion. 

The Golden Eagles came back with power 
when #12 ranked Eric Mausser (197) won 
over Brett Faustman 4-0 decision to put the 
Eagles on the board. 

"I will miss wrestling, hanging out with 
my teammates and most of all competing in 
front of a crowd," said Mausser after his 
victory. 

Mausser is very proud of his career at 



Clarion but would like to finish his career 
at the NCAA tournament successfully by 
making it to the podium. His season 
record has moved to 30-5 and this was his 
118th career win. 

John Testa (HWT), ranked ninth, won 
over Central Michigan's Bill Stouffer 13-5 
major decision. 

This was the 35th win this season with 
only two losses. Testa has a career record of 
126-26 and is tied for third on the all-time 
Clarion win list with Mark Angle. 

At 125 Peter Derstine won over Kyle 
Stoffer 5-1 decision to put the Golden 
Eagles on top 10-6. 

At 133, Rad Martinez, ranked tenth, won 
against Jason Borelli 15-5 by major deci- 
sion. 

"Wrestling here at Clarion has improved 
in my technique and it has opened my eyes 
to new styles of wrestling" Martinez said, 
who transferred to Clarion two years ago 
from Northwest Community College in 
Wyoming. Rad has a season record of 33- 
6 and a career record of 90-23. 

Central Michigan countered back with 



wins at the next five matches. At 141 
CMU's Jason Mester beat Frank Edgar 5-2 
decision, Ty Morgan of CMU major deci- 
sioned senior Jim Perry 12-2 at 149 this 
brought Perry's career record to 14-20. 

By far the most intense match of the day 
was between Clarions Jeremy Reitz and 
CMU's David Bolyard. 

In the third period of the match Reitz was 
ahead of Bolyard 2-1. Bolyard escaped a 
reversal to tie the match up. But because 
of his riding time he received one point 
therefore making him the winner by deci- 
sion 3-2. 

The Golden Eagles finished out the match 
with losses at both the ( 165) Brad Anderson 
of CMU over Clarion's Chris Horning 5-4 
decision and (174) Mitch Hancock of CMU 
over Clarion's Dave Gardner 10-2 major 
decision. 

Clarion has two more matches before 
closing out this season. The Golden 
Eagles face off against Lock Haven on Feb. 
21, at 7:30 p.m. and the final match will 
take them to Virginia Tech on Feb. 23 at 
1:30 p.m.

Men's Basketball puts another hurtin' on IUP 



by Nick Cammuso 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 



>•••*•••■•••••••••«••, 



>•••••< 



»••••••••• 



You're playing in a hostile envi- 
ronment, your leading scorer is 
having an off night, and the team is 
laying enough bricks to build a 
small home. 

Not exactly the recipe for basket- 
ball success. 

Judging from this sequence of 
events, one would assume that the 
game was essentially over for the 
Clarion Men's Basketball team. 

But one cannot assume anything, 
as the Golden Eagles gutted out a 
63-58 victory over arch rival IUP. 

Though hard to believe. Clarion 
had not swept the season series 
since the 1983-1984 campaign. On 
this night, they made sure that

major part of Clarion's Basketball his- 
tory. 



their trip back to Clarion after 
playing the Indians wouldn't be 
another "Trail of Tears." 

Despite being down 31-27 at 
halftime, the team's confidence 
never wavered. 

"There wasn't much concern. 
We're actually a better road team 
than at home with an 'us against 
the world mentality'," said 
Assistant Coach Al Modrejewski. 

The win improves Clarion's 
record to 18-5 overall and 7-1 in 
the conference. 

An earlier loss by Shippensburg, 
coupled with the Clarion victory, 
ensures the Golden Eagles playoff 
hopes. This will be their seventh 
straight PSAC playoff appearance. 
Clarion only shot 26 percent 
from the field, including 21 per- 
cent from the three-point range. 

Despite the iron being unkind 
throughout, the Golden Eagles had 
an extremely balanced attack. 
While only two players scored in 
the double figures, every player 
contributed on both sides of the 
ball. 

"Our defensive intensity com- 
pensated for our poor shooting. We 
forced 24 turnovers and made some 
big shots down the stretch," added 
Modrejewski. 

Dereck Rankin led the charge 
with 13 points, while Rollie Smith 
added 11. Chris Kelly and Steve 
Nesmith narrowly missed a double- 
double, scoring nine points and 
hauling down eight rebounds a 
piece. 

Smith, in particular, didn't bring 
his "A" game to IUP, only making 
two of 11 shots, but his senior 
leadership and point guard savvy 
were put on display with 4:14 left 
and the game on the line. 

Smith grabbed a defensive 
rebound, raced the ball down the

future. 



court and fed forward Nesmith a 
dazzling, no look, behind the back 
pass. Nesmith laid the feed and 
drew a foul which then extended 
the Clarion lead to four points. 

"Rollie is a guy that's had the 
ball in his hands for four years. 
He's very even-keel and shows 
tremendous poise in the clutch. He 
has ice water in his veins," 
Modrejewski. 

Aside from the spectacular late 
game action, the Golden Eagles 
were provided some insurance by' 
Nesmith, Smith and Rankin who 
nailed some foul shots in the final 
minute. 

Indiana forward Curtis William 
nailed a three pointer with 55 sec- 
onds remaining to cut the Clarion 
advatage to 58-56. 

With time quickly running out, 
IUP was forced to foul. Rankin 
proceeded to score three points in 
the final seconds, making it a two 
possession game and virtually 
impossible for the Indians to come 
back. 



The clock ran out ending the 
game and a rather dubious streak. 
Fortunately, for the Clarion men, 
the streak that really matters 
remains in tact, a trip to playoffs. 

The men return home on Sunday 
in their final home game of the 
regular season. They will face off 
against Lock Haven at 3 p.m. 

Sunday will also be "Senior Day" 
where the Golden Eagles will bid 
farewell to four seniors. Chris 
Kelly, Steve Nesmith, Dereck 
Rankin, and Rollie Smith will play 
their final game at Tippin Gym.

Stadium to get lights and artificial turf 



by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

One hundred thousand dollars 
from the Special Projects 
Fund,\vill be used as a down pay- 
ment in order to put purchase arti- 
ficial turf and lighting for Clarion 
University's Memorial Stadium. 

The anticipated total cost of arti- 
ficial turf and lighting is 
$633,000. The projected total cost 
of turf is $473,000 while 
$160,000 is the estimated cost of 
lighting. 

After the down payment, the 
CSA board of directors has com- 
mitted approximately $63,000 per 



year in conjunction with a loan for 
the next 10 years at a 4.85 percent 
interest rate. 

The Special Projects Fund is 
made up of profits from the 
University Book Center, Lee 
Krull, manager of the student 
association, said. 

According to Krull, the board of 
director's commitment will not 
affect book center prices. 

"The board of director's controls 
the financial affairs of the Clarion 
Student's Association, except for 
the Student Activity Fee ($105 per 
semester per full-time student), 
which remains in the control of 
student senate," Krull explained. 



"The percentage of mark-up has 
not changed for years, and we 
have no plans to change mark- 
up," Krull added. 

Krull also explained the CSA 
board of director's gained control 
of book center revenues when the 
corporate board was formed eight 
years ago. When the board of 
director's was formed, the book 
center wasn't making money and 
anything the book center did 
make went back into the book 
center, Krull said. 

An increase in enrollment and 
cutting operating costs helped the 
book center to acquire additional 
revenue, Krull said.

mm. 



"Every year, the board of direc- 
tor's determines where book store 
money goes," Krull said. 

There is approximately 
$500,000 in the Special Projects 
Fund. 

An advisory committee consist- 
ing of students, faculty, communi- 
ty members and members of the 
faculty senate athletic subcommit- 
tee were involved in evaluating 
the need for artificial turf and 
lighting. 

An important issue in deciding 
to purchase the artificial turf and 
lighting stems from the universi- 
ty's inability to recognize club 
sports, Mr. Harry Tripp, vice pres- 
ident for student and university 
affairs explained. 

"It's always been a facility issue 
for us," Tripp said. 

Tripp said approximately eight 
acres of land located by the Paul 
Weaver Municipal Park was 
donated to the university, and the 
university researched turning the 
donated acreage into playing 
fields. 

However, Tripp said research 
showed that turning the acreage 
into playing fields proved to be 
"costly." 

Before student senate can recog- 
nize club sports, the university 
must be able to provide a facility 
for them, Tripp explained. 

Another issue in the purchase of 
turf and lighting is stadium use. 

According to Tripp, the stadium 
is only used five times a year for 
athletic events and 10 times a year 
for athletic practices. 

"The stadium could be used 
almost non-stop," Tripp said. 

In addition to club sports and 
athletic teams, the marching band 
could also use the field for prac- 
tice. The marching band uses part 
of the stadium parking lot for 
practices, Tripp explained. 

If the marching band uses the 
football stadium, then more park- 
ing spaces could be used for stu-

dent parking, said Tripp. 

Neighboring school districts 
have expressed an interest in rent- 
ing the facility for high profile 
athletic events and festivals. 

In a letter to the CSA Board of 
Director's, Clarion Area School 
District Superintendent William 
Kaufman, Ed.D. wrote. "If this 
proposal becomes a reality, the

Four buildings were closed 
Thursday, Feb. 20 because sev- 
eral written bomb threats were 
found. 

One threat was found in a 
bathroom in Stevens Hall mak- 
ing reference to Stevens and 
Marwick-Boyd Fine Arts 
Building. 

A short time later a second 
threat was found on a bathroom 
wall in Tippin Gymnasium 
warning of a possible bomb in 
the building. 

All four buildings were evac- 
uated and searched by Public 
Safety as well as outside law 
enforcement. The Pennsylvania 
State Police provided a bomb- 
sniffing police dog. 

All classes held in Stevens 
and Marwick-Boyd were can- 
celled and resumed on Friday, 
Feb. 21. 

According to a press release 
distributed at a press confer- 
ence held on Thursday, Feb. 
20, Dave Tedjeske, director of 
Public Safety said, "Given the 
climate of threats on the 
national and international 
scene, it was important to take 
extra caution in the investiga- 
tion of these threats." 

Public Safety was assisted by 
Clarion Borough Police, 
Clarion County Sheriff's 
Office and police from 
Edinboro, Indiana University 
of Pennsylvania and Slippery 
Rock universities. 

Public Safety also worked

with the FBI and PEMA 
(Pennsylvania Emergency 
Management Agency). 

An earlier bomb threat was 
reported by a student on 
Thursday, Feb. 13 who found 
the threat in a men's restroom 
in the Gemmell snack bar area. 
The threat didn't make refer- 
ence to any specific building, 
but did state the date of Feb. 
20. 

, . Public Safety, investigated 
the threat and notified the FBI 
in Pittsburgh. The building was 
not evacuated because there 
was no evidence of a credible 
threat. 

Tedjeske said Public Safety 
has no leads as of yet. 

"We've received no informa- 
tion at all," said Tedjeske. 

Although there are currently 
no suspects in the case, Public 



Safety does have evidence. 

"We've collected some phys- 
ical evidence and are working 
with other agencies on it," said 
Tedjeske. 

Above all, students were 
affected the most from the 
threats. 

"I thought they (the threats) 
were taken a little too lightly at 
first and then when the second 
one was found they (Public 
Safety) were all running 
around," said Amanda Gerner, 
a senior secondary education 
and history major. 

"I think it's a childish prank 
and I hope they find who did 
it," said Steve Wagner, a junior 
computer science major. 

Anyone with information 
regarding the threats are asked 
to call Public Safety at 393-

weather surface." 

Tripp said the university is anticipating $10,000 
to $20,00 in profits each year from renting the 
field. The renting revenues will be put toward the 
cost of the loan, Tripp said. 

Tripp also said purchasing the artificial surface 
is cost effective because money is spent each year 
on repairing, re-sodding, fertilizing and striping 
the grass field. 

A reduction in athletic injuries served as a fac- 
tor in the decision for the artificial turf. 

In a letter drafted from Dr. Anthony Vega, chair 



of the faculty senate athletic subcommittee, 
"Studies indicate that these fields are effective 
towards a reduction in injuries as compared to 
other artificial surfaces. In fact, field related 
injuries on rubber filled fields approximate natur- 
al grass surfaces." 

The project is pending the approval of President 
Diane Reinhard, the university, and community, 
Tripp said. 

The project will also have to go through the uni- 
versity bidding process and engineering 
approvals.

CSA board grants $80,000 to Campus Fest 



by Amy Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

The CSA board of director's 
granted a one-time $80,000 allo- 
cation from the Special Projects 
Fund for Campus Fest. 
"The $80,000 is to subsidize 
what they feel they can't cover in 
costs," Mr. Harry Tripp, vice 
president for student and univer- 
sity affairs, said. 

The anticipated total cost of 
Campus Fest is $167,000, Tripp 
said. 

The remaining $87,000 is going 
to be covered through ticket sales 
and food vendor fees, said Dr. 
Jeffrey Waple, director of 
Campus Life. 

According to Tripp, Campus 
Fest coordinators are anticipating 
Campus Fest to generate 
$140,000. 

Money made from Campus 
Fest will be put into the Special 



Campus Fest account for next 
year, Tripp explained. 

According to Jamie Bero, uni- 
versity activities board adviser, 
UAB's concerts normally don't 
make profits because they do not 
charge expensive ticket prices. 

"We will never break even on a 
concert in Tippin Gymnasium," 
Waple said. "We have a chance at 
the stadium." 

At Tuesday night's meeting, 
Lee Krull, manager of the stu- 
dent association, asked what 
would happen if the remaining 
costs for Campus Fest were not 
covered through ticket sales. 

"Who is going to pick up the 
tab?" Krull asked. 

Waple reassured board mem- 
bers that they would make 
money from Campus Fest 
because the venue (Clarion 
University's Memorial Stadium) 
presents the opportunity for more 
people to attend. He also said 



** The $80,000 is to

-Harry Tripp 



he's already been receiving 
phone calls requesting tickets for 
the concert. 

"Is it a risk? Of course it is," 

Waple told ft»£fc*A4! 

"The CSA board would be 
responsible for addressing any 
shortfalls on budgeted ticket 
sales," said Ron Wilshire, assis- 
tant vice president for university 
relations. 

Campus Fest is an idea born 
from a student senate retreat last 
September in which senators 
brainstormed to try to develop 



"Clarion University specific tra- 
ditions," Waple said. 

"I think this is what we're look- 
ing for," said student senate 
President Mike Phillips. 

Campus Fest is also a way to 
bring "big name groups" to the 
campus, Tripp said. 

Campus Fest is scheduled for 
Sunday, May 4 through Saturday, 
May 10, the week before Clarion 
University finals. 

Campus Fest will begin with a 
concert at Memorial Stadium 
featuring three different acts 
including, The Roots, The 
Clarks, and Rascal Flatts. Food 
vendors such as ChartwelFs and 
Quaker Steak and Lube are antic- 
ipated to be present at the event. 

The Roots' asking price to per- 
form is $35,000. The Clarks 
charge $15,000 to perform, and 
Rascal Flatts charge, $40,000. 

The following Monday, May 5, 
Comedian Dave Chappelle is 



slated to perform in Tippin 
Gymnasium. Chappelle's cost to 
perform is $35,000. 

The rest of the week will fea- 
ture blood drives, inflatable car- 
nival games, as well as a student 
recognition ceremony and a ban- 
quet for representatives from the 
120 recognized student organiza- 
tions. 

"It's important to note this is a 
program that is student driven 
and student developed," Waple 
said. 

Campus Fest is being coordi- 
nated with the help of students 
representing student senate, uni- 
versity activities board, black 
student union, IntraFraternity 
Council, Panhellenic Council, 
fraternities, sororities, and inter- 
hall council. 

The Special Projects Fund is 
made up of a portion of revenues 
from the University Book. 
Center. 



Student senate turns down $11,000 motion from UAB 



by Sharvil Desai 

Clarion Call student 

senate reporter 

Student senate voted (0-17-2) to 
withhold $11,000 in requested 
funding for a concert series pro- 
posed by the University Activities 
Board (UAB) Concert 

Committee. 

The UAB Concert Committee 
planned to hold a six-week long 
series this semester with multiple 
artists performing different types 
of music from around the local 
area. 

The concert series would incor- 
porate different styles of music 
every Tuesday night for six 
weeks. They would include coun- 
try, rap, rock and punk music. 

In particular, the Street Punk 
groups - the Penguins and 
Punchline would perform as well 
as the country music act 
Chandlers. 

Student senator Amy Cohen was 



one of the senators who voted 
against the motion. 

"The reason I failed the motion 
was because the bands that were 
selected were not representative 
of the entire campus," said 
Cohen. 

The committee was in deficit 
prior to this semester and so can 
not fund its own concerts this 
semester. 

"There is no money in the UAB 
concert budget to do anything," 
said Dr. Jeffrey Waple, director of 
the office of campus life. 

A key reason the concert series 
failed to gain acceptance was that 
it was proposed to be free to all 
students. 

Senators were quick to question 
such a procedure and pointed out 
that a free concert could mean an 
overwhelmingly large audience in 
the relatively small Multi- 
purpose Room in the Gemmell 
Student Center. 

The UAB Concert Chairperson 



Ryan Baptiste replied that con- 
certs would be free in order to 
build an audience that may not be 
willing to pay money otherwise. 
Non-students may have been 
charged a $5 fee. 

In addition, the Baptiste said the 
attempt to make the concerts free 
was to so people could enjoy the 
music. 

Even so, student senate demon- 
strated that the concerts would 
have to reject students if the audi- 
ence became too large. 

According to Waple, the Multi- 
Purpose room can hold 700 peo- 
ple in a theater style. 

"That would be the max," said 
Waple. "Six hundred and fifty 
would be more realistic." 

Waple also believes the concerts 
should not be held during the 
week. 

"I think it would have been a 
better presentation if they had 
them over the weekend," said 
Waple.

C.U.P. students face the reality of war 



Michael Patton 
Contributing writer 

As spring edges closer, much of 
the student body as well as staff 
and faculty have thoughts of 
finals, graduation and a much 
anticipated summer vacation. 

This time of the year always 
seems to brighten campus faces 
as the snow begins to melt and the 
long winter tension begins to 
ease. 

With finals being the last obsta- 
cle during the spring term, a few 
selected students have much more 
to ponder as the semester moves 
forward. For Jermaine Cornelius 
and Justin Marvin, both enlisted 
with the Army National Guard, 
the reality of war continues to be 
a focus of thought. 

According to USA Today, troops 
are already in training on the bor- 
ders of Iraq and more are prepar- 
ing in the U.S. The chances of not 
going to war are wearing bleak. 

Civilians in the northern half of 
Kuwait have been evacuated with 
more than 75,000 U.S. soldiers in 
training there. While President 
Bush strives for resolution and 
searches for support from other 



countries, Iraq continues to be 
uncooperative in their efforts to 
disarm. 

Justin Marvin, an E-4 
Specialist, is a freshman biology 
major. He is in his second year of 
a six-year term with the Reserves. 
Although Marvin is proud to be 
serving his country, he is dis- 
turbed with the idea of indefinite- 
ly putting off school to go to war. 

Marvin isn't scared though. 
"I am serving my country. 
That's what I signed up to do," 
said Marvin. "I am confident we 
can do the job." 

One weekend a month Marvin 
accompanies his Reserve unit in 
Oil City where more recently they 
have been checking inventory, 
should they receive the command 
to go on active duty. In addition to 
this, Marvin also trains as a pal- 
adin (tank) driver. 

Jermaine Cornelius, also a spe- 
cialist with the Army National 
Guard, has served four years as a 
turret mechanic. In preparation 
for war, Cornelius has already 
turned over power of attorney to 
his family and has had a will 
drafted. 
, Feeling much the same way as 

* * ■ 
— — T 



Marvin, Cornelius is not enthusi- 
astic with the thought of putting 
off school and leaving family and 
friends. He believes his commit- 
ment he made to his country 
comes first. 

Cornelius is a sophomore com- 
munication major. As a turret 
mechanic with his Reserve unit, 
he repairs the top portion of tanks. 
Tanks will play a vital role if war 
should take place in Iraq and in 
order for a Reserve unit to be 
deployed, the unit must have 14 
tanks. Since Jermaine's unit only 
has 12, his orders are indefinitely 
delayed until two other tanks 
arrive - a situation that could 
change at any time. 

With the ever changing status of 
war shifting daily, it is difficult 
for students such as Marvin and 
Cornelius to plan ahead. With as 
little as a 48-hour notice, 
Reservists have a short time to 
say their goodbyes to family and 
friends. 

"My mother is worried, but she 
is getting relaxed," said Marvin. 
"She knows if I gotta go I gotta 
go." 

Regardless of what schoolwork 
needs to be done or what person- 



al commitments have been made, 
Reservists will have to report 
under the timeline that is estab- 
lished for them. 

Many Clarion students are 
grateful for students like Marvin 
and Cornelius. 

"It's very loyal of them," said 
Rayna Kohler a freshman com- 
munication sciences and disor- 
ders major. "I hope nothing hap- 
pens to them and they return safe- 
ly with a prominent future." 

Sophomore Elementary 
Education/Special Education 
major Ashlie Beard understands 
how much these students are giv- 
ing up. 
"I don't like the idea of war, but 



I think it's admiral for them to 
take a break from their education 
to fight for us," said Beard. 

The Feb. 25 issue of The 
Derrick reported that most recent- 
ly the 99 Regional Support 
Command's 319 Engineer 
Company in Butler received its 
orders on Monday, Feb. 24 to 
report to the mobilization site in 
Fort Lee, Va. 

Once the unit arrives in 
Virginia, it is more likely they 
will be moved near Iraq to contin- 
ue training for war. With the first 
Reserve unit receiving orders so 
close to home, others are begin- 
ning to wonder who will be called 
next.

Where will you be going for 
your winter break? If you are 
going to Cancun, like most col- 
lege students are during this time 
of year, the Secretary of State, 
Colin L. Powell suggests a few 
things for students to keep in 
mind when traveling abroad. 

According to the Bureau of 
Consular Affairs of the 
Department of State, every year 
there more than 2,500 Americans 
are arrested in another country, 
one out of three of which are drug 
charges. 

Many students are subject to 
victimization because they are 
unaware of particular laws in the 
countries they are visiting. For 
example, in one country a drug 
may be legal but in a neighboring 
country it may not be, this 
includes prescription drugs. 

"I have no reason to leave the 
U.S. Here we are free, in other 
countries you are under different 
laws, they usually speak a differ- 
ent language and you are in 
[another country's] custody and 
there is nothing you can do about 
it," said Janis Gabblay sopho- 
more elementary education 
major. 

It is and individuals responsibil- 
ity to know the laws of the loca- 
tions he or she is visiting before 
arriving. In the Bahamas, 
Jamaica, Mexico, the Philippines, 
and other countries, there are 
strict drug charges which require 
a mandatory jail sentence for any- 
one who has even the smallest 



amount of marijuana or cocaine. 

Several countries have this law 
in place and this type of sentence 
in many locations can be at least 
seven years. 

"I would keep track of my sur- 
roundings and know the country's 
ways before arriving," said Corrin 
McManus, a freshman, anthropol- 
ogy major. 

Learning more about the coun- 
try you are anticipating on visit- 
ing is key to learning about sever- 
al things, including that area's 
economy and political situations. 
Reading the Consular 

Information Sheet provides infor- 
mation on each country such as 
regulations, crime and security 
circumstances and the location of 
the U.S. Embassy. Students 
should know where the United 
States Embassy is upon arrival in 
case of an emergency. 

For women who travel abroad 
alone, there is some information 
that may be helpful, in addition to 
those noted previously. Leave 
behind an itinerary and a copy of 
your passport identification, a list 
of where you plan to stay and 
have directions of the locations 
you plan to visit before arriving. 
Keep in mind that you may need 
traveler's insurance if your health 
care coverage does not apply 
overseas. Individuals with a 
health condition or a pregnancy, 
should be aware that if he or she 
is undergoing complications, it 
could be hours, if not more, for 
medical assistance.

are encouraged to visit http://trav-

Student senate 



Student senate allocates funds to three campus organizations 



by Sharvil Desai 

Clarion Call student 

senate reporter 

Student senate voted to allo- 
cate money to three student 
organizations at Monday 
night's meeting- the Vizartz 
Club, the Association tor 
Computing Machinery and the 
Society for the Advancement 
of Management. 

In a 15-3-1 vote, the Vizartz 
Club was allocated $2,284 to 
support the organization's 
needs. 

The Vizartz Club is a visual 
arts organization that pro- 
motes artwork such as paint- 
ings and ceramics among club 
participants. 

This is done through open 
studios, by bringing in artists 
from outside of the university 
and by community involve- 
ment activities such as staging 
a crafts workshop for elemen- 



tary students where they can 
decorate artwork designed by 
the club. 

Vice President of the Vizartz 
Club, Rachel Loheyde, said 
that the club gives students a 
"chance to show their artwork, 
be creative and get rewarded 
for that." 

Despite the funding Vizartz 
received and due to the broad 
spectrum of activities the club 
participates in both locally and 
nationally, allocations made to 
the club may not be sufficient. 
The club is looking into sepa- 
rating into two distinct clubs 
per recommendations made by 
student senate. 

The Association for 
Computing Machinery (ACM) 
was also funded by student 
senate. In a 13-6-0 vote, $800 
was allocated to the ACM for a 
conference that select mem- 
bers of the association will be 
attending. 



The ACM is a campus orga- 
nization that has its roots at 
the national level and is a soci- 
ety which centers around com- 
puter technology. The ACM 
provides students around cam- 
pus, among other things, with 
computer related aid such as 
floppy disks and affordable 
computer memory upgrades. 

In addition, the Clarion 
University chapter of the ACM 
takes part in national competi- 
tions against such notable 
computer science institutions 
such as Carnegie Mellon. This 
year the ACM will be compet- 
ing in Quebec, Canada. 

In another move, student 
senate allocated $3,786 to the 
Society for the Advancement 
of Management in a 18-1-0 
vote. 

This funding will aid the 
organization in their participa- 
tion in a case-studies competi- 
tion to be held later in the

The 60 Second Stress Reducer 

I'm not going to tell you to "exercise more, improve your 
diet and get more rest." You don't need more on your list of 
"things to do." Besides, you'll just feel more stressed if you 
don't do it. So here's a tip that doesn't add to your "do" list, 
because you can do this while walking across campus, while 
sitting in class and before you get up in the morning. I call it 
"the 60-second meditation" or "the personal check-in." 
Here's how it goes: 

For 60 seconds: 

*Practice coming down out of your head. 

*Notice your body - relax those shoulders, your brow, your 
gut. 

Take 1 to 3 full, slow breaths. 

*Feel the ground under your feet and/or your butt in the seat. 

*Make the world go away and just be with yourself. 

*Notice the control you have of this vessel that carries you 
around and gets you through your day. 

*Notice if you are more relaxed. 

Take one more rich, full breath and come back to the envi- 
ronment outside yourself. 

Your success of this exercise depends on how stressed you 
are and how often you practice it. The more often you do this 
(and make up your own version) the more it will become 
yours and available to you when you need it most (it's a great 
exercise before beginning a test.) Good luck!

Chandler's mysteries are revealed 



by Liz Peglow 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

We've all done it. We've all 
walked into Chandler Dining Hall 
and griped about the selection or 
variety of food available. Ever 
wonder what really goes on at 
Chandler? 



More than 80 employees staff 
Chandler Dining Hall. These 
workers prepare food, plan meals, 
supervise the staff and hold a 
number of other positions. 
Approximately $20,000 is spent 
each week on food at Chandler 
according to Director of Dining 
Services Jeff Gauger. 



Not only does Chandler work to 
feed the students three meals a 
day, but it also has a catering 
department according to 
Executive Chef Randy Shook. 
The catering department provides 
food for various campus and com- 
munity activities including the 
catering of the concession stand at

football games. Bakery workers 
also labor through the night to 
provide baked goods for Chandler 
and Riemer Snack Bar as well. 

Knowing how much food to pre- 
pare relies on records of how 
much was consumed in the past, 
how close the university is to a 
break, if there is any sort of 
admissions tour and the current 
weather conditions. All leftovers 
are thrown away. Shook says, 
"We prepare food in small batch- 
es. Everything you see has been 
made within the last half hour." 

Foods requiring refrigeration are 
stored according to their type in 
large refrigeration units. Dairy, 
meats and vegetables are just 
some of these units. The tempera- 
ture of the units is checked every 
half hour. During the night, the 
thermometers are wired to the 
McEntire Maintenance building 
where an alarm will sound if the 
temperature falls above or below 
what is required. 

Food items are placed in a six- 
week cycle. Some items such as 
pizza, french fries and hamburg- 
ers are in Chandler's contract with 
the university. These must always 
be'served. Thus, students see rep- 
etition in food selection. 

There are numerous ways for 
students to get more of what they 
want in the cafeteria. The "Let's 
Talk" board is found at each 
entrance. It is a dry erase board 
for students to write down their 
requests and suggestions. 
Comment cards are also available 
on each side of the dining hall. 

According to Gauger, these 
cards have quite a big impact. 
They are based heavily on how 
many students comment on one 
particular item. Although all stu- 
dent requests are considered. 
Chandler just . cannot provide 
some things, whether it's because 
of their contract or something that 
is just not supplied by their 
provider. The Food and Housing 
committee also meets every two 
weeks in Gemmell. This group 
works to cater to students' 
requests. 

Many changes have been made 
to Chandler within the last couple 
of years. In 1999, the cafeteria 
changed from the traditional line 
style you would find in high 
schools to a food court style of 
serving. Menutainment, the cafe- 
teria's display cooking special, 
the Terra Ve vegetarian line and 
the rotating deli special have also 
been added to Chandler's daily 



menu offerings. The cappuccino 
machine holds three different 
selections. French vanilla and hot 
chocolate are always offered and 
the third selection changes often 
to provide variety. 

Eating healthy isn't easy for col- 
lege students, especially those 
who rely on the cafeteria for their 
meals. In addition to the fries, hot 
dogs, and ice cream that most stu- 
dents opt for, the cafeteria sup- 
plies a given number of proteins, 
carbohydrates and vegetables 
every day. Most students choose 
to eat more unhealthy dishes. "For 
every batch of vegetable dishes 
we serve, we serve about five 
batches of fries," says Gauger. In 
addition, most of the comment 
cards submitted are requesting 
some type of junk food. 

Although the balancing of meals 
is the responsibility of each indi- 
vidual, Gauger says, "It's really a 
challenge because everything 
must be cooked by steam, deep 
fryers, or on the grill. There are no 
stoves." 

Chandler contracts out a dieti- 
cian to help students with special 
dietary needs. Beth Oliver con- 
sults with students over their pre- 
scribed diets to help select the 
best meal options. 

Oliver, Shook, Gauger and 
Director of Residence Dining 
Christina Ginger offer some tips 
for eating healthier in Chandler 
Dining Hall. 

*Eat more fruits and vegetables 
and use the salad bar. 
There are no good or bad foods 
as long as they are consumed in 
moderation. This simply trans- 
1 ites into varying the things you 
eat. 

*Watch portion size. 
*01iver says, "It takes twenty 
minutes for your stomach and 
brain to realize you are full." Eat 
slowly. 

* Drink juice or milk rather than 
soft drinks that contain excess 
calories. Currently the most popu- 
lar- beverage consumed at 
Chandler is Mountain Dew. 
*Watch how much butter, mar- 
garine, gravy and other condi- 
ments you are using.

EDITORIAL, CYNDI THOMPSON 
"Spring Break" 



Ah, it's that time of year 
again... spring break! 

This is the time when we get 
more than a week's worth of 
freedom from class, homework, 
meetings, and projects. 

Though some of us are stuck at 
home working to earn those 
badly-needed extra bucks, the 
lucky ones are heading off to 
places like California, Florida, 
and Ocean City. Or, some com- 
pletely insane people I know, are 
off to Niagara Falls, Canada. 

I also have been considering 
taking off to some exciting place 
for the break, and have been con- 
templating the "perfect" escape 
spot. 

The first to pop in my head was 
Cancun, Mexico, known to some 
as the "spring break capital of the 
world" and home to part of 



MTV's "Spring Break" special. 

The beautiful beaches and 
never-ending parties certainly 
are appealing. 

With airlines fighting over 
dwindling customers these days, 
the plane tickets would be cheap, 
leaving more to spend on a nice 
hotel or at one of the hundreds of 
shopping areas in Cancun. 
However, the hassle of exchang- 
ing money and passing through 
customs seemed just too much to 
handle on my only vacation of 
the semester, so I moved on to 
my next idea: Daytona Beach. 

Warm, sunny Florida would be 
like heaven to me now, after 
weeks of cold and snowy Clarion 
weather. 

Daytona Beach would be only 
a short flight (or, if I were to be 
particularly adventurous, about 



OPMfoat 



an 18-hour drive). 

The scenery is beautiful, with 
tons of sightseeing and attrac- 
tions to pack into a fun-filled 
week on the beach. Not to men- 
tion, I wouldn't even have to 
change time zones. 

While considering Florida, I 
came across another great idea: a 
cruise! Based on advanced- 
booking prices on the Carnival 
Cruise Line, you can get a decent 
cruise for about $400 + tips for 
the waiters and staff. 

Oh, and don't forget spending 
money. I personally was 

attracted to the "Eastern 
Caribbean Tour" of San Juan, St. 
Thomas and St. Maarten. Exotic 
places have always attracted me - 
I'm excited by the people, 
scenery, and lifestyle of the 
locals. How exciting! 

I'd just have to remember to 
take some Dramamine to sooth 
that seasickness. 

So, with spring break right 
around the corner, what is my 
decision? After consulting with 
the checkbook and credit card 
balance sheet, I discovered I do 
not have the funds to go to ANY 
of these wonderful places. 

In fact, I barely have gas 
money to even make it home. So 
I will be one of the earlier men- 
tioned "unlucky" ones who have 
to go home and work. Oh well,

In my opinion, the biggest dif-

has nothing to do with biological 
traits - it's all about the remote 
control. 

These are some comments I've 
heard from the man of my house 
regarding the remote control: 
1. "I can't change the channel - I 
don't know where the remote is." 



I admit there may be an infre- 
quent exception to the rule, but 
most men ignore the directions 
that come with any purchase that 
requires assembly. I don't know 
why. Nobody knows why. 

Men seem to think it's beneath 
them to have to actually refer to

After about six hours of frustra- 
tion, the man is usually sufficient- 
ly weakened and will allow his 
wife to read the step-by-step 
directions and put the thing 
together for real. 

How about asking for directions 
when a man and a woman are 
lost?> 

In most cases, a woman will 
stop at a garage or a safe- looking 
store and ask for directions. For 
some reason, when a man is in an 
identical situation, a switch kicks 
on and he turns into Christopher 
Columbus, sailing across an 
ocean of interstate highways to 
find a shorter route to the Spice 
Islands - on his own, thank you 
very much. 

Also high on the list of differ- 
ences between men and women is 
the matter of filling ice cube 
trays. This whole topic can be 
summarized by simply saying - 
"Men don't fill ice cube trays." 

If there is one cube left in the 
whole tray, they will shove it back 
into the freezer because it's not 
empty. For Pete's sake. You can't 
waste a whole ice cube, can you? 
Don't waste your time trying to 
change your man's view on this - 
it doesn't work, trust me. 1 don't

Free Press! Clarion University contemplates the differences between males and females, 
from Page 7. 



Another major difference in 
male/female perception can be 
demonstrated by how each 
reacts to seeing an item on the 
floor that doesn't belong on the 
floor. 

Usually, a woman will pick it 
up while a man will step over it 
- or trip over it and then keep 
going on his way to empty the 
ice cube tray. 

If you ask your husband why 
he didn't pick up his shoes that 
he's just tripped over twice, 
he'll tell you he wants them in 
the middle of the living room 



floor so he can find the shoes 
when he needs them. 

This is the same man who can 
identify every car ever made as 
they pass you on the highway 
and quote you the sticker price, 
miles per gallon and engine 
specs. He can't remember where 
his shoes are if he can't see 
them. I don't know why. 

If you want to read a terrific, 
no-nonsense article that 
explains the biological differ- 
ences in the male and female 
brains - and why we process 
information and often see things 



differently, go to 
http://www.epub.org.br/cm/nll/ 
mente/eisntein/cerebro-home- 
ns.html and read the article 
written by Renato M.E. 
Sabbatini, Ph.D., "Are There 
Differences between the Brains 
of Males and Females?" 

I'll read it later - after I fill up 
the ice cube trays. 

The author is a columnist for 
the Jeffersonian-Democrat enti- 
tled "Charlotte's Web." 

She is slated to graduate from 
Clarion University in May with

STUDENT SENATE 



PRESIDENT'S FORUM 




As you may already be aware, 
student senate recently passed two 
policies that the senate has been 
working on all year. These poli- 
cies will affect all Clarion 
University recognized student 
organizations. 

The first policy involves line 
itemizing budgets for all CSA 
funded organizations. This has 
been a goal of the senate for the 
last few years; I am very excited 
about this change and believe that 
it will make a positive impact on 
the budgeting and appropriations 
process for years to come. 

The second policy recently 
approved by the senate outlines 
the rights and responsibilities of 
all university recognized organi- 
zations. This policy details the 
benefits associated with being a 
recognized student organization 
of Clarion University, and it also 
further describes what is expected 
of all organizations on a continu- 
ing basis. 

The process of bringing these 
policies to a student senate vote 
was long and gradual. „We pro- 
posed an initial draft, gathered 
feedback, and finally fine-tuned it 



into the draft passed by senate. 

Many people contributed to the 
creation and modification of these 
policies. 

I want to personally thank the 
many students and advisers of 
various student organizations on 
campus who attended our round- 
table discussions and public meet- 
ings to express your suggestions, 
and concerns, and/or support for 
these policies. 

I want you to know that your 
voice was heard and the guide- 
lines in the policy reflect the sug- 
gestions made to the student sen- 
ate. 

I want to encourage all students 
to continue to be involved in stu- 
dent senate's everyday business. I 
hope these policies will bring pos- 
itive change, also while promot- 
ing more campus involvement in 
student government. 

As the semester continues and 
winter break is approaching I 
want to make all students aware 
that the student senate election 
process will soon be beginning. 

Applications for the 2003-04 
student senate will be made avail-

Theatre Review 




"Peter Pan" soars, Captain Hook stumbles 



by Amanda Cackowski 

.... £!?ri?. n . £?!! .%£ writer 

In a world where war is looming 
and classes are cancelled because 
of bomb threats, the production of 
"Peter Pan," directed by 
Marilouise Michel, was a breath 
of fresh air to those who attended 
this University Theatre produc- 
tion last week at 7:30 p.m. on 
Feb. 19-22. 

While many were skeptical 
about this particular production 
choice performed on stage at the 
Marwick-Boyd Auditorium, 
"Peter Pan" offered an evening of 
escape from college life, reality 
and especially adulthood. 

In the days leading up to the 
production, a buzz on campus 
could be heard concerning the 
event. "I heard they were sold 
out." "You better get your tickets 
soon." 

Approaching the lobby of 
Marwick-Boyd on opening night, 
a line winded through the 
entrance and groups of people 
stood anxiously before the closed 
auditorium doors. 

While the size of the crowd pre- 
sent seemed large in the lobby, the 
numbers seemed to lessen as peo- 
ple flowed into the auditorium. 

Regardless, the auditorium is a 
large place to fill and that is a 
problem that any production 
would encounter when moving 
from a venue such as the Little 
Theater to the auditorium. 

Nevertheless, more audience 
members began to trickle in, leav- 
ing the observers to be mainly 
composed of families with young 
children and various college stu- 
dents. The production began a 
few minutes late with the orches- 
tra playing the overture. While 
the pit orchestra wasn't stunning- 
ly striking, they did accentuate 
their talents at various points 
throughout the performance. 



When the curtains were drawn 
back, a beautiful set depicting a 
large bedroom in the fancy 
Darling house was unveiled. The 
set looked as if the construction 
was detailed and meticulous that 
further brought this story to life 
on stage. 

As the show progressed, more 
elaborate and impressive scenery 
was brought onto stage. Perhaps 
the most impressive part of the 
setting was Captain Hook's ship 
with its enormous size and precise 
carpentry. 

The actors who played the roles 
of Wendy, John and Michael fur- 
ther enhanced the storyline and 
setting. Granted it was a bit awk- 
ward to see grown individuals 
playing the roles of children, but 
they overcame that obstacle and 
shined on stage. 

Melissa Lynch captured the 
imaginative and dreamer person- 
ality of the character Wendy. Her 
sweet voice sang through the 
auditorium and harmonized well 
in "Tender Shepard" and "Distant 
Melody." 

Laura Sweeney made sure that 
the audience noticed the boister- 
ousness of her character, Michael. 
But possibly the best perfor- 
mance of the three Darling chil- 
dren was that of Chadd Kirkland 
portraying the role of John. 

While Kirkland didn't have 
many lines or even a song to sing, 
he performed his role perfectly. 
Regardless of his towering 
stature, Kirkland epitomized the 
typical child that longs to grow up 
but still engage in the pleasures of 
youth. 

From the first time that Katie 
Kerr flew onto the stage as Peter 
Pan, the audience knew that her 
performance would be something 
special. While this production, 
when performed in any venue 
usually displays a woman in the 
part of Peter Pan, I was apprehen- 



sive about a female playing the 
role of the mischievous little boy 
refusing to grow up, but Kerr's 
performance was brilliant. 

Kerr had such animation and her 
delivery wasn't harmed at all as 
she continually flew around on 
stage. While many of the actors 
struggled with making their parts 
stand out on stage, Kerr's anima- 
tion was portrayed indefinitely to 
the audience through her projec- 
tion, dynamic facial expressions 
and body movements. 

One problem that did plague 
Kerr was the sound difficulty. At 
any time when the orchestra start- 
ed playing, their sound overpow- 
ered the voices of those on stage, 
particularly Kerr. A simple 
increasing of the microphone vol- 
ume or informing the actors to 
project louder over the orchestra 
would have fixed this minor prob- 
lem, but the trouble continued 
throughout the entire production. 
A few special effects of the 
show enhanced the magical 
atmosphere of this production. 
The crowd seemed genuinely 
impressed when the actors were 
hoisted in the air above the stage 
and simulated flying off to 
Neverland. 

Another aspect of the show that 
enhanced the audience's pleasure 
was bringing the show into the 
audience. Throughout the entire 
production, the actors were using 
the various aisles and encourag- 
ing audience participation. These 
little highlights improved the 
magic of the show. 

On the other hand, I was disap- 
pointed by the performance of 
Thomas Manning in the role of 
Captain Hook. While Manning 
excelled in the "Mysterious Lady" 
scene and other scenes whenever 
paired with Smee, he left a lot to 
be desired from his part. 

I have seen this production 
enacted several times and I'm

always entertained by the over- 
done antics and expressions of 
Captain Hook, but Manning 
delivered a very dry and straight 
performance of Hook. I thought 
that a lot more could' ve been 
done with this part. 

However, Smee, Captain 
Hook's sidekick relinquished 
some of the disappointment. The 
performance given by Brett Sloan 
was amazing. His expressions and 
animation made the audience 
chuckle and ensure that those sit- 
ting in the auditorium would 
leave that night remembering his 
performance. 

Every production that I've seen 
Sloan participate in, he seems to 
steal the show regardless of his 
part. 

One feature of this production 
that varied was that of the minor 
roles and extras. In my experience . 
with theater, I remember a direc- 
tor once saying, in regards to 
extras, that there are no small 
roles, only small actors. She also 
said that when an extra is on 
stage, that is his or her time to 



shine and must become your part 
regardless of assigned lines or 
solos. 

Large production numbers 
always entertain theater audi- 
ences, and when extras are placed 
on stage and simply stand there, 
they take away from that enter- 
tainment. While most of the 
extras fulfilled their duties, were 
animated, and performed their 
choreography and songs precise- 
ly, some of the extras were guilty 
of simply standing there and not 
really doing anything with their 
parts. 

Despite a few bumps in the 
road, "Peter Pan" provided many 
theatrical highlights regarding 
scenery, acting, and special 
effects. Moreover, this production 
conveyed the magic of dreaming 
and childhood that many of us 
lose, as we get older. 

It is my hope that no matter how 
old we get or how hectic our 
schedules become that we all 
keep a little bit of Peter Pan in us 
and refuse to grow up in some 
way.

Comedian hypnotist entertains Clarion 



by Beth LeVier-Pentz 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

At 8 p.m. on Feb. 19 in the 
Gemmell Multi-Purpose Room, 
the UAB sponsored an event fea- 
turing comedian hypnotist C.J 
Johnson. 

C. J. Johnson travels to colleges 
from coast-to-coast with his hyp- 
notist act. This summer, he is on 
tour with the country music group 
Brooks & Dunn as their opening 
act. 

Unfortunately, the attendance to 
this event was poor. The room was 
less then half full possibly 
because of bad weather condi- 
tions. But those who did make it 
to the event had a good time. Not 
only was C.J. Johnson hilarious, 
he was an amazing hypnotist. 

Johnson started things off by 
informing the audience there are 
three types of people who cannot 
be hypnotized: people who are 
drunk, people who are stupid (an 
IQ under 70) and jerks that annoy 
and offend the audience ("the 
smart guys"). 

Johnson than had an exercise 



with the audience where he had 
them sit straight in their chairs and 
hold their hands out in front of 
them and press their hands togeth- 
er. He then hypnotized the audi- 
ence so that when it was over, they 
couldn't pull their hands apart. 
For some people in the audience, 
this really did work. 

Johnson had no problem finding 
volunteers — they practically 
rushed the stage. In fact, they had 
to set up more chairs to accommo- 
date them all. 

The volunteers were mostly 
women with the exception of 
three guys. 

Johnson only had three require- 
ments of the volunteers: they 
needed to give him their undivid- 
ed attention; they needed to listen 
to and follow each direction he 
gave; and they must have a sin- 
cere desire to be hypnotized. 

Once Johnson turned his atten- 
tion to hypnotizing his volunteers, 
he became very serious. 

To put them under hypnosis, it 
involved Johnson doing a lot of 
counting and putting their heads 
on each other's shoulders, starring 



off into space and drifting off into 
a deep sleep. 

To test whether or not it worked, 
he told them to blink really fast 
when he snapped his fingers and 
blink. They did. 

As soon as he snapped his fin- 
gers, every head popped up off the 
shoulder of the person next to 
them, and the volunteers frantical- 
ly began blinking they almost 
looked possessed. 

Johnson apologized to the audi- 
ence because for the rest of the 
evening he would have to have his 
back to them because he would be 
working with his volunteers. 

When he said relax and sleep, 
the heads of his volunteers fell. He 
told the audience the only sound 
the volunteers could hear was our 
applause. 

After each small skit Johnson 
would say, "Please applause for 
their hard work and concentra- 
tion." He claimed the applause 
helped put the volunteers in a 
deeper state of hypnosis. 

The volunteers were put through 
a number of activities as they 
were led to believe they were in a 



horse race, members of a march- 
ing band, trying out for the role in 
a major motion picture and that 
someone next to them had terrible 
body odor and that they must get 
away from them. 

One girl named Jenny was asked 
to recite "Mary had a Little Lamb" 
like it was a dramatic piece. Jenny 
cried so hard she ended up sitting 
down. 

Johnson also had some volun- 
teers forget their name, become a 
drill sergeant, and speak Martian. 

When Johnson wanted the vol- 
unteers to sleep again, he would 
make his hand look like a gun and 
shoot them in the head and they 
would fall over like they were 
dead. 

Among the audience's favorites 
were the "Butt Beat Boys." He 
had the three male students pre- 
tend to be the latest boy band, 
only they played the drums on 
their backsides. 

The audience was also intro- 
duced to the newest superhero, 
"Slow Motion Girl." 

The funniest skit of the evening 
was when one male student pre- 



tended to be the Crocodile Hunter 
and wrestle an inflatable crocodile 
pool toy. 

In the middle of their fight 
Johnson said, "You'll now believe 
that toy is your wife Terry when 1 
snap my fingers." 

The student began making out 
with the blow-up crocodile on 
stage. 

The audience also had visits 
from Madonna, The Village 
People and the Road Runner and 
Wyle Coyote. 

Although the evening was full of 
fun and laughter, it became a 
game to figure out who was fak- 
ing and who was actually hypno- 
tized. 

Some of the volunteers, mostly 
the women, were obviously fak- 
ing and it is a wonder that Johnson 
didn't just ask them to leave the 
stage. 

All three of the men appeared to 
be completely hypnotized. 

Overall, the event was a fun 
activity to attend on a Wednesday 
night. It was interesting just to see 
what C.J. Johnson would have his 
volunteers do next.

the hot guys running by made the

Granted. I only went to the gym

And, I will confess that I ate 20

"Old School" makes college fun again 



by Brandon Schadle 
Clarion Call Movie Reviewer 

Just when you thought col- 
lege ended at graduation, "Old 
School" gives hope to those 
brothers and sisters who long 
for the good old days of care- 
less hinging and partying. 

Luke Wilson ("Legally 
Blonde," "The Royal 

Tenenbaums"), Will Ferrell 
("Saturday Night Live"), and 
Vince Vaughn ("Domestic 
Disturbance," "Zoolander") 
decide to revive ancient Greek 
tradition, complete with let- 
ters, pledges and a house. 
Todd Phillips, director of 
"Road Trip," takes the helm 
and brings us another feel- 
good college comedy. 

It all begins when Mitch 
(Wilson) drops in on a sex 
party that his girlfriend didn't 
invite him to. Having a deep 
admiration for their buddy, 
Frank (Ferrell) and Beanie 
(Vaughn) decide to get him 
back in the game with a block 
party aptly called 

Mitchapalooza. 

As wild and crazy as it was, 
Mitchapalooza sets off a 
whole chain of events that 



seem to float like an ominous 
haze throughout the rest of the 
movie. We discover from the 
party that newlywed Frank is 
having trouble adjusting to his 
vows and Beanie is just hav- 
ing trouble keeping sane in his 
suburban family lifestyle. 

Thus enters the plot. Two 
guys, distraught with the real- 
ity of growing up, decide to 
cheer up their heart-broken 
friend and revive their social 
lives by turning Mitch's ideal 
house into a bonafied bachelor 
pad, or in college terms, a 
Greek fraternity. 

As with a lot of Greek fra- 
ternities, there is the usual 
partying, binging, and tests of 
trust and loyalty to the Greek 
order (not to be confused with 
hazing because there is no 
such thing anymore). 

The newly founded Greek 
order soon finds itself in the 
midst of legal battles with the 
local university as the dean, 
who just happens to be a guy 
Mitch and company ridiculed 
in college, closes the doors to 
the house and forces the Greek 
order to vacate the premises. 

Seems like a pretty stable 
plot so far, right? Weli, lets 



Pestinta

tap the keg, readjust our togas, 
and send the pledges for our 
thinking caps. 

One the major coincidences 
of the movie is that Mitch is a 
lawyer. Naturally, using his 
infinite wisdom of loopholes, 
Mitch finds several ambigui- 
ties in the dean's claim for 
eviction. Considering this is a 
college-themed comedy, it 
could have had several other 
convenient mishaps, but in 
this case, this coincidence is 
necessary to provide some 
sort of satisfactory conclu- 
sion. 

Furthermore, there seemed 
to be a major character flaw in 
Frank. Although he shares 
some similar qualities of an 
older John Belushi in "Animal 
House," he seems to be lack- 
ing in the department of 
human emotion. 

Frank's married life doesn't 
entirely live up to its potential 
for him, but he neither seems 
to be too distraught about 
hurting his wife's feelings nor 
that concerned about the mar- 
riage itself. Frank seems to be 
in the game of life for fun and 
partying and that's about it. 

These issues could come 
directly from the actor or it 
may have something to do 
with the script. Whatever it is. 
Ferrell's character, as funny as 
he is, needed to enrol! in 
Sensitivity 101 . 



into the margarita mix is Blue, 
a 90-something-year-old man 
who has a thirst for Polident 
and college camaraderie. As 
part of an increasing trend in 
comedies geared for younger 
audiences, Blue serves as 
comic relief more than any- 
thing else. 

Hidden behind the older 
image of Blue, however, is the 
message that you don't need 
to be 21 and in college to have 
fun so long as you are not 
afraid to step up and show a 
younger generation what 
being alive is all about. 

Also butting into parts of the 
film are some of the writers' 
endeavors to make sure we get 
a well-rounded college educa- 
tion. We get to partake in sev- 
eral viewings of moons, 
cracks and craters in differing 
shapes, sizes and colors. By 
the end of the movie, we get 
to see more moons than there 
are in the sky of Saturn! 

The actors chosen for their 
respective roles were fairly 
decent choices. Although 
Luke Wilson hasn't been seen 
around campus as much as his 
older brother Owen Wilson 
("Shanghai Knights," "Behind 
Enemy Lines"), Luke makes 
his acting presence known in 
this film. 

Vince Vaughn is trying to 
get his name on the bulletin 
hoards more and more these 



him well in demonstrating that 
he can act in a variety of roles. 
Overall, the movie is as 
much fun as it is entertaining. 
It gives a new twist to the col- 
lege brand of amusement and 
humor while still incorporat- 
ing subtle messages every 
now and again. 

The layout of the film has 
some holes, but they are, more 
easily forgotten than what you 
may or may not have done last 
night. "Old School" is defi- 
nitely worth the ride aboard 
the Clarion Golden Eagle 
Express and the ticket price. 

Take a break from your vig- 
orous studies, put on your let- 
ters and head back to school 
before session is out.

Music Reviews 



Billy Corgan scores with new band 



by Charlie Pino 
Clarion Call Music Reviewer 

After leading his former group, 
the Smashing Pumpkins, to 
enormous success throughout 
most of the 90's, Billy Corgan 
went from being the likeable, 
overdramatic leader of one of 
the decade's best rock bands to 
an inaccessible weirdo. 

He followed up two classic 
albums in a row with the unfor- 
givably bad, electronica-tinged 
"Adore", then shaved his head 
bald and donned a creepy black 
gown, looking like some sort of 
bald emperor from the "Mummy 
3." (Just for the record, there is 
no "Mummy 3," and hopefully 
never will be.) 

Shortly after the release of the 
Pumpkins final album, the fairly 



even but after-the-fact 
"Machina: The Machines of 
God," Corgan disbanded the 
group. 

If you haven't yet heard Zwan, 
it would be extremely easy to 
envision an uncompromisingly 
weird and dark band, given 
Corgan's past forays into self- 
indulgence. Doing that, though, 
would be to deny part of what 
made the Pumpkins so great in 
the first place: Corgan's prowess 
as a songwriter. 

"Mary Star of the Sea" is part 
folk-rock, part garage, and 
almost all crafty, upbeat pop 
songs. The album kicks off with 
a distorted, jangly guitar intro, 
reminiscent of the Byrds; with 
Corgan singing "Here comes my 
faith/To carry me on." 

Female bassist Paz 



Lenchantin, formerly of A 
Perfect Circle, sings smooth 
background vocals in contrast to 
Corgan's raspy whine, adding an 
extra pop element to these 
already catchy songs. 

Corgan has undoubtedly 
adopted a more optimistic out- 
look on life that literally shines 
through every song and it does- 
n't take very long to see why. To 
say that the album has strong 
religious undertones is an under- 
statement. 

In truth, if you read the words 
to "Lyric," "Settle Down," or 
"Declaration of Faith" instead of 
hearing them, you'd probably 
think that you were reading a 
hymn. 

Somehow, though, it never 
becomes annoying and actually 
makes for some of the albums 



Zwan - "Mary Star of the Sea" 

For fans of: Guitar-driven pop music, garage rock, punk rock 
For further listening: Weezer - "Pinkerton," Smashing Pumpkins 
"Siamese Dream" or "Mellon Collie," The White Stripes - "White 
Blood Cells" or "De Stijl" \ 

Grade: 3.5 stars (out of 5) 



best tunes, since that is appar- 
ently where Corgan's passion 
lies at this point. 

Notorious for crafting strange 
and beautiful names like 
"Mellon Collie and the Infinite 
Sadness," Corgan sings lines 
such as "A black swan rode me 
into my place of destiny." 

In this song, "Ride a Black 
Swan," as in most others, he 
sings against the solid wall of 
sound that the band creates with 
three guitars playing at once. 

The band only stumbles once 
throughout the album, with the 
song "Jesus 1/Mary Star of the 
Sea." It's a brutal 14-minutes 



long, but thankfully is the worst 
we have to endure. I 

The album closet is an 
acoustic country ballad com- 
plete with harmonica and heavy 
bass playing by Lenchantin. 

The record has a very consis- 
tent feel to it, which may be con- 
sidered a downfall, since many 
of the songs sound similar. 

"Mary Star of the Sea," never- 
theless, is an impressivfc debut 
that far surpasses any otrfer band 
in its category of guitaj-driven 
rock/pop music. 

Best of all, it givesBou the 
feeling that Zwan has a^ more 
up their sleeve. 



Audioslave: Rock music's latest train wreck 



by Jesse Ley 
Clarion Call Music Reviewer 

For quite sometime now there 
has been a considerable amount 
of hype surrounding the newly 
formed supergroup Audioslave. 
Their debut, self-titled album was 
released on Nov. 19, 2002 to 
immense anticipation. 

For those of you who are unfa- 
miliar with the group, it consists 
of the remaining members of 
1990's punk influenced, hard 
rocking, politically-active Rage 
Against the Machine, Tom 
Morello, Tim Commerford and 
Brad Wilk. Along with that they 
have incorporated none other 



than ex-Soundgarden front man 
Chris Cornell to take on the task 
of providing lead vocals. 

For this record, Audioslave has 
managed to take the most passive 
approach at song writing ever 
imaginable. The formula behind 
every song is relatively straight- 
forward. Simply combine classic 
Rage Against the Machine music 
with typical Soundgarden vocals 
for an end product that is less 
than desirable. 

Listening to the album atten- 
tively from beginning to end sev- 
eral times, I was not able to dis- 
cover one ounce of innovation or 
creativity. The music was trite 
and redundant, while any aspiring 



8th grade poet could have easily 
penned the lyrics. 

The only redeeming quality of 
this record is Tom Morello's 
experimental guitar work. 
Unfortunately, it was far too often 
overshadowed or cut short by 
Chris Cornell's whiney vocals. 

It appears as though Audioslave 
was apprehensive about deviating 
too far from what the public 
expected out of a collaboration of 
this caliber. I think they did them- 
selves a huge injustice. Lying 
dormant somewhere within this 
union are incredible amounts of 
untapped potential. 

One would imagine that two 
formerly great musical forces 



Audioslave - "Audioslave" 

For fans of: Mediocre attempts at edgy hard rock 
For further listening: Any Rage Against the Ma<j 
Soundgarden album ever recorded 
Grade: 1 star (out of 5) 



or 



would be able to conjure up 
something a little more revolu- 
tionary to offer their listeners as a 
preview of what is next to come 
in rock n' roll music. 

However, if you were looking 
to this album with great expecta- 
tions, in the hopes that they 
would provide some sort of 
ground breaking, surrealistic 
musical experience, then your 
dreams will be quickly dashed. 

It appears as though the band 
quickly expelled all of their cre- 



ative energy perfect 
Morello's incendiary gi 
However, that alone 
enough to create a stabl 
tion strong enough to sj 
media's pervasive hyj 
with the burden of fos 
inflated egos. 

If you listen closely c\ 
can almost hear ther 
under the weight of 
pretension. Don't exp< 
more from Audioslav| 
future.

Horoscopes 

Aries (March 21-April 20). This week, business relations demand new definitions and solid progress. Late Tuesday, expect 
bosses or officials to present revised paperwork or agreements. Watch details and amounts carefully. All that is agreed to over the next few 
weeks will quickly become permanent. After Friday, social routines may also change. Friends and lovers may ask for greater intimacy or 
plan quiet, private encounters. Don't hesitate. Change is needed to ensure continued commitment. 

Taurus (April 21-May 20), Workplace or financial negotiations may initiate important business changes. Monday through 
Wednesday, expect recent work ideas to be publicly discussed or finalized, Some Taureans will begin a new stage of ambition and group 
involvement, Watch for career interest and partnerships to increase. After midweek, lovers may be moody or unresponsive, Public actions, 
rather than private promises, are required. Go slow and expect meaningful change, 

Gemini (May 21-June 21), Public appeal and group involvement are ongoing themes this week, Work officials may rely heav- 
ily on your ability to quickly resolve differences between co-workers. Some Geminis may find that secondary or more public work duties 
captivate their time. In the coming weeks, valuable opportunities will come from new assignments, Stay focused, After Saturday, a close 
friend may leave a long-term romantic or family commitment, Offer detailed advice. 

Cancer (June 22-Jufy 22). Long-term relationships become demanding. Over the next few days, expect lovers and close 
friends to express strong feelings of love, intimacy and attraction, Many Cancerians will experience powerful emotions, Expect loved ones 
to initiate new communications or creative ideas for future commitments, Family or home schedules may be key issues; remain open, After 
Saturday, financial decisions are needed, Loans, applications or official records are highlighted, 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22), Early this week, previously withheld feelings may rise quickly to the surface. Before Thursday, expect 
loved ones to be sentimental and focused on new romantic goals, Many Leos will leave behind five weeks of restlessness or emotional 
frustration. If so, plan social activities carefully. Friends and relatives will also compete for your attention. Later this week, workplace nego- 
tiations work to your advantage. Let key officials know your limits and daily expectations. 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Over the next eight days, a close friend may be nostalgic or emotional. Key issues involve lost 
romance or yesterday's social triangles, Loved ones may feel a strong need to relive past events or contact long-forgotten friends, Remain 
patiently supportive. This is an excellent time to release unproductive emotions or break from past loyalties. After Friday, an older relative 
may ask' for special attention; family expectations may change, Respond quickly to new schedules, ' ' 

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Study new work projects carefully over the next few days. Before midweek, a proposed business 
venture may reveal highly complex or impractical duties. Be relentless. This is a strong time for clarifying difficult or vague assignments, 
Tuesday through Thursday, a close friend or relative may speak openly about a new love interest or attraction, Marital status and romantic 
obligations will change, Expect loved ones to explore exotic ideas or unique social introductions, 

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21), Recent family disputes will be resolved, Early this week, expect loved ones to explain their actions 
or past disappointments, Traditional family roles or broken trusts between friends may be strong themes. Irritability will pass quickly; so 
not to worry. Do, however, avoid minor home confrontations and watch for sudden social reversals. After Friday, a new income source 
may arrive without warning, Study long-term agreements for small errors or revised deadlines, 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21;, financial planning will demand special attention this week, Romantic partners or close rela- 
tives may be doubtful of money promises or long-term security, Before Thursday, loved ones will feel unappreciated in the home or social- 
ly ignored, Expect financial stress, however, to be the focus of expressed anxiety, Early Friday, family or romantic invitations arrive unex- 
pectedly, Remain open to group ideas and watch for a new era of emotional discussion to take precedence, 

Capricorn (Dec, 22-Jan. 20), Romantic attractions and sensuality have powerful appeal over the next few days. Short-term 
relationships will expand into long-term commitments, Expect lovers and marital partners to confidently state their feelings or needs, 
Physical energy and social intrigue are also on the rise, Plan unique gatherings or group encounters; you won't be disappointed, After 
Saturday, avoid new debts or overspending, Home budgets will require improvement, 

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19), Work duties may increase over the next eight days, After Monday, expect business officials or key 
customers to require extra attention or support. For many Aquarians, a recent period of vague business instruction is coming to an end, 
Authority figures w ill expect more initiative in the workplace, Carefully study small details. Late Saturday, social restrictions may be annoy- 
ing. Friends or lovers may announce revisions and demand a quick response. Stay calm, 

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20). Business relations are surprisingly cheerful this week, Over the next eight days, social acceptance 
between colleagues or students will increase, Expect key officials to let go of past expectations or criticisms, After Wednesday, social or 
romantic relations may also be affected. Expect intimacy to be brief, however, and watch for new emotional opportunities early in March, 
Remain dedicated. Love relationships will require revised rules and special attention, 

If your birthday is this week ... Plan extra family activities or social events in the home, Someone close may feel isolated or 
misunderstood, Over the next three months, intimate relationships will steadily expand to include unique home discussions and new fam- 
ily planning. Clearly outline all expectations and long-term emotional needs. After mid-June, a 28-month phase of complex business and 
financial communications arrives, For many Piscean? revised career options or new job training will require decision before the end of 
2003. Remain open to creative business proposals or unexpected opportunities in the media, publishing or technology' industries,

BY BRliNT SUTHERLAND 



Ali has been a four-year starter for the Lady Eagles and has been 

nothing but a major factor in the success of the team the past four 

seasons. She recently surpassed the 1,000 point mark on "Senior Day" 

against Lock Haven University. She has become only the 11th player in 

school history to reach that milestone. Ali is currently 6th in school 
history with 246 assists and 3rd with 230 three-pointers. She is current- 
ly averaging 11.6 points per game and has 54 treys. Ali is a 
"Scholar-Athlete" at Clarion and also a member of the softball team.

Instability is a good word for the 
Pirates 2003 spring training. Pokey 
Reese claims that his finger is still 
hampering him from an incident one 
month ago. Reese claims that he was 
loading a kennel for his pit bull, 
"Beans," when he slammed the car 
door on his finger. 

Athletes have been using this story 
for a long time. At least when 
Michael Jordan severed a tendon, he 
said it was from trying to cut a cigar. 
That would be a lie too. NBA play- 
ers don't smoke cigars, M.J. 

In addition to Reese's injury, Mike 
Lincoln hurt his throwing arm and 
hand when he slipped on a golf ball. 
Are you kidding me? 

Closer Mike Williams injured his 
back this winter while playing with 
his daughter. Great, the lone all-star 
from last year's team can't even play 
with his daughter without getting 
hurt. 

Amidst all the controversy the 
Bucs have endured this spring train- 
ing, there still is hope. 

Key acquisitions have been made 
this off-season for the Pirates. The 
biggest news for the Bucs was the 
signing of Reggie Sanders. Sanders 
played for the National League 
Champion San Francisco Giants. 
Last year he hit .250 with 23 home 
runs and 85 RBI's. He is 35 years 
old, but can still play at a very high 
level. 

The Pirates are also considering the 
addition of Kenny Lofton or Raul 
Mondesi. If the Bucs get Lofton, 
than most likely Giles will remain in 
left field, Lofton in center, and 
Sanders in right. However, if the 
Pirates decide to get Mondesi, than 
Giles would probably move to cen- 
ter with Sanders in left and Mondesi 
in right. 

Whatever happens with this situa- 
tion is pivotal for Pittsburgh. A 
speedy leadoff man in center would 
be nice. A big bat with a cannon in 
right sounds good too. 

Another good indication for the 
Pirates is the 21 -pound weight loss 
of Aramis Ramirez. Maybe Ramirez 
can show Jerome Bettis how to diet 
in the off-season. Ramirez needs a 
rebound year. 

In 2001, Ramirez crushed the ball 



hitting .300 with 34 homeruns and 
1 12 RBI's. Unfortunately, 2002 was 
an unstable year for Ramirez. After a 
brawl with Milwaukee Brewers 
pitcher Ben Sheets, Ramirez ended 
up with a sprained right ankle and 
his season went downhill. 

Brian Giles has been everything 
the Pirates wished for when they 
acquired him from the Indians. This 
year could be exciting with a sup- 
porting cast. The outfield should be 
solid. 

Jack Wilson is a fine shortstop 
especially when paired up with 
Reese at second who has incredible 
range like a Rover. 

Newly acquired Randall Simon 
could be the opening day starter at 
first base, but he has to be cleared to 
play after more heart testing. 

The Pirates have to prove that they 
invested wisely with a big year from 
Jason Kendall. Kendall needs a 
break out year at the plate for the 
Pirate to be successful. 

The Pirates pitching looks decent. 
Right now, the rotation should be 
Kris Benson, Kip Wells, Josh Fogg 
and Jeff Suppan. The Bucs are look- 
ing for a fifth starter currently. 

The bullpen is as good just like it 
was last year. Again, Mike Williams 
leads the bullpen as the closer. 
Another all-star year would be great 
for Williams and the Pirates. 

Overall, I feel very confident in 
what General Manager Dave 
Littlefield has done with the Pirates. 
Clearly, this team is much better than 
previous years. Instead of having 
two start players like Criag Wilson 
and Rob Mackowiak, the Pirates can 
now afford to have good substitute 
players and pinch hitters. 

Last year was depressing for me 
when I attended a Pirates game. Of 
course, they lost most of the games I 
went to. Just like every year, I am 
overly excited for the Pirates to 
begin the season 

I honestly believe the Pirates can 
challenge for the National League 
Central crown. I may be terribly 
wrong, but the Pirate team is vastly 
improved. Hopefully, the Bucs can 
regain some stability.

Communication major.

LHU slides past Clarion; five seniors honored 



by Nick Cammuso 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

The day was to evoke memo- 
ries of the past. This senior 
day did exactly that, seeing 
five players grace Tippin Gym 
one last time. 

However, Sunday's tilt with 
Lock Haven provided more 
than memories, the kind the 
men basketball team would 
rather forget. 

A late surge by the Golden 
Eagles fell short as Lock 
Haven squeaked out a 70-68 
victory. 

Clarion finds themselves 7-3 
in PSAC play, tied with 
Edinboro for second place in 
the western conference. 

Lock Haven's Kris Holtzer 
quenched any thoughts of a 
Clarion comeback in the final 
seconds. Holtzer fought off 
defenders along the corner of 
the baseline and nailed a fade- 
away jumper with 1.2 seconds 
remaining. 

"We had no answer for 
Holtzer, he's a very good play- 
er," said Assistant Coach Al 



Modrejewski. 

The Golden Eagles still had a 
chance, albeit a small one. 
Terrance Vaughn's desperation 
half-court shot was partially 
blocked at the buzzer. 

Holtzer shone throughout, 
shooting a perfect 7-for-7 from 
the floor in the first half. He 
finished with 25 stellar points 
and 13 rebounds. Teammate 
Chris Ruff also tailed a double- 
double with 19 points and 11 
boards. 

What Lock Haven may have 
lacked in athleticism, they 
made up for it with precision. 
The Bald Eagles patiently exe- 
cuted their set plays, resulting 
in many open looks at the bas- 
ket. 

They simply took advantage 
of a poor defensive showing by 
Clarion, particularly in the first 
half. 

Modrejewski felt occasional 
"defensive lapses" forced the 
Golden Eagles to play catch-up 
the majority of the afternoon. 

Defensive troubles aside, a 9- 
20 performance at the foul line 
didn't help Clarion's chances. 



"Had a couple shots went in, 
we may have found a way to 
win," said Modrejewski. 

Regardless, the vetern squad 
mustered enough to make a 
valiant comeback attempt. 

Down 62-50 late in the second 
half, Clarion proceeded to go 
on a frantic 18-4 run. As 
usual, the seniors provided a 
much needed boost, this time 
with little help from the 
Clarion faithful. 

A Chris Kelley lay-up got the 
crowd in a freenzy, inducing a 
roaring chant of "defense" and 
causing nearly everyone in 
attendance to stomp to their 
feet in jubilation. 

The cheers only grew louder 
as Rollie Smith, who paced the 
Eagles with 18 points, drilled a 
three-pointer that trimmed the 
Lock Haven lead to one. 

Clarion then again turned to 
its version of "Mr. Clutch", 
Rollie Smith. Smith faked out 
his defender with a slick 
crossover dribble, drove to his 
left and sunk a jumper in heavy 
traffic. 

The conversion gave the

Smith, Chris Kelley, Steve Nesmith, and Dereck Rankin (Ben 
Meese-not pictured). 



Golden Eagles a two-point 
advantage, but that was the 
closest they would get. 

Before the game, senior play- 
ers were recognized for their 
contributions to Clarion bas- 
ketball. This year's class 
included Chris Kelley, Ben 
Meese, Steven Nesmith, 
Dereck Rankin, and Rollie 



Smith. 

"They're all great kids on and 
off the court," a proud 
Modrejewski proclaimed. 

The Golden Eagles will finish 
their regular season Saturday at 
Shippenburg. It is crucial they 
have a good performance for 
both playoff seeding and a pos- 
sible PSAC conference title.

Indoor track team makes trip to 
first ever PSAC championships 



by Julie Evenoski 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

The Clarion Track and Field 
team will be ending their indoor 
season with a trip to East 
Stroudsburg University for the 
PSAC Indoor Championships 
March 1-2. 

This is the 2nd Indoor 
Championship held in the PSAC 
conference, but it will be Clarion 
University's first trip. 

"We are looking forward to 
seeing how we match up with 
other schools," said Head Coach 
Pat Mooney. 

Coming off of some strong 
showings at last weekend's Kent 
State University meet, Coach 
Mooney added, "Upon the com- 
pletion of the season, we are try- 
ing to establish brand new indoor 



records. These records will be 
separate of the Outdoor Season 
record." 

Each team in the PSAC has a 
"right of entry" for their athletes. 
This means that if there is not an 
athlete who has qualified in an 
event, the school has the right to 
enter someone in that particular 
event. 

Clarion is sending nine athletes 
for "right of entry". Those ath- 
letes include: Sandy Seidle (55 
m, 200 m), Kristen Werder (triple 
jump), Nikki Plassio (high jump), 
Megan Hannahs (long jump), 
Tom Natale (high hurdles),' Matt 
Reinhold (mile), Tim Fabrizi 
(400 m), Shane Krause (distance 
medley) and Sean Williams 
(5000 m). 

Qualifying for the PSAC 
Championships at East 



Stroudsburg are six men and 
eight women. 

Additionally, there will be a 
men's and women's 4 x 400- 
relay team, a men's 4 x 800-relay 
team, and a men's distance med- 
ley relay team. 

The 2003 PSAC Indoor quali- 
fiers include: seniors Ellie Till 
(pole vault), Julia Jackson 
(shot put), Jerry Smith (800, 4 x 
400), Tim Fabrizi (200, 4 x 400), 
juniors Jennifer Klock (shot put, 
penthalon), Julie Evenoski (shot 
put), Jen Boerner (mile, 3000, 
5000), Evelyn Abiola (800, mile, 
1500), Brandon Phillips (55 m), 
Dave Duriancik (3000, 5000), 
sophmore Melissa Terwilliger 
(3000, 5000), and freshmen 
Katie Jarzab (3000, 5000), Dan 
Alderton (55m, 200, 4 x 400), 
Jarrett Williams (55 m. 200). 



jGood luck to all the athletes competing 
over the winter break. Go Eagles!

Lady Eagles come out with a win on senior day 



by Ron Peters 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

On what was a very special day for 
some members of the Clarion 
Women's basketball team, the Lady 
Eagles defeated Lock Haven 69-55. 
It was the last regular season home 
game as well as senior day. 

The victory put Clarion in a three- 
way tie for third place in the PSAC- 
West along with Edinboro and 
Shippensburg. The win also put them 
great shape for the playoffs. 

This was Clarion's 15th win of the 
season which puts it in the record 
books as the first winning season for 
the Lady Eagles since their 1994- 
1995 campaign. They went on to go 
18-11 that season. 

Senior, Tameka Washington led the 
way with 22 points. Sophmore 
Heather Cigich led with 15 rebounds. 

The highlight of the afternoon was 
when senior Allison todart became 



only the 11th player in school history 
to reach the 1,000 point mark. 

She ended the first half three points 
shv of the mark and with every I 
attempted shot , you could see the 
anticipation level of the fans rising. 

Stodart reached the milestone with 
10:11 remaining in the second half. 
She nailed it with a jumper to give 
the team a 44-40 lead. 

Stodart, who added 16 points to the 
day, now has 1,005 career points ' 
making her tenth on the all-time scor- 
ing list at Clarion. 

Along with Washington and 
Stodart, Jen Duhnke and Courtney 
Willman were honored in pre-game 
senior ceremonies in honor of their 
final career game at Tippin 
Gymnasium. 

These four ladies havecurrently 
contributed a combined 3,042 points 
in their careers at CU. 

The team is back in action for their 
final regular season game on 
Saturday as they face Shippensburg

The 28th annual PSAC (Pennsylvania State 
Athletic Conference) Men's and Women's 
Swimming Championships were hosted at 
West Chester from Feb. 19-22 at Graham 
Natatorium and the Golden Eagles finished 
second in team scoring, while Bethany Turse 
(Jr. Swedesboro, N.J. - Kingsway) led Clarion 
by winning the 50 yard freestyle. 

West Chester won the team title with 594.5 
points, while Clarion was second with 407 and 
IUP third with 245. Rounding out the thirteen 
team field were fourth place Shippensburg 
(239), Bloomsburg fifth with 161.5, Slippery 
Rock sixth at 135.5, California seventh with 
133, Lock Haven eighth with 98, Kutztown 
ninth with 83, East Stroudsburg tenth with 68, 
Edinboro eleventh at 32, Millersville twelfth 
with 22 and Mansfield thirteenth with 8 points. 
"I thought our women had some quality 
swims at PSAC's and swam very fast," said 
third year head coach Mark VanDyke. "We just 
didn't have the overall scoring to win the team 
title. Now we'll focus on getting ready for the 
NCAA D-JJ Nationals in two weeks." 

Turse, a junior, won the 50-yard freestyle 
with a time of 23.88. She also placed 7th in the 
100 free (52.70) and 8th in the 200 free 
(1:56.88). Turse also was part of the second 
place 200 free relay (1:36.24); 400 free relay 
(3:33.64), 800 free relay (7:50.89 and the third 
place 200 medley relay (1:49.73). 

Baer, a senior, was second in the 1000 free 
(10:34.01), 4th in the 1650 free (17:59.24) and 
11th in the 500 free (5:17.59). She was also 
part of the second place 800 free relay 
(7:50.89). 

Bankovich, a junior, earned three top indi- 
vidual places when she finished second in the 
100 yard butterfly (57.75), third in the 200 1.M. 
(2:11.20) and fourth in the 200 butterfly 
(2:11.85). She was also part of the second 
place 200 free ( 1 : 36.24) and 400 medley relays 
(3:58.56) and the third place 200 medlev relay 
(1:49.73). 

Trimbur, a junior, was a seven time PSAC 
placewinner. She earned three individual 
places by finishing second in the 200 free 
(1:52.43), fourth in the 50 free (24.40) and 
fourth in the 100 free (52.58). Megan also was 
on four second place relay teams including the 
400 medley (3:58.56), 200 free (1:36.24), 400 
free (3:33.64) and 800 free (7:50.89) relays. 



Koch, a senior, placed second in the 400 1.M. 
(4:37.60), fourth in the 200 breaststroke 
(2:28.52) and fifth in the 200 1.M. (2:12.30). 

Starsinic, a sophomore, placed fifth in the 
100 butterfly (59.96), sixth in the 200 fly 
(2:14.66) and 10th in the 200 I.M. (2:13.30), 
along with second place finishes in the 200 
free relay (1:36.24) and 400 free relay 
(3:33.64). 

Besecker, a freshman, posted 6th place indi- 
vidual finishes in the 200 free (1 :57.46) and the 
500 free (5: 13.47), while also being part of the 
second place 400 free (3:33.64) and 800 free 
(7:50.89) relays. 

Heebner, a freshman, notched a 5th place fin- 
ish in the 200 butterfly (2: 1 1.89) and 8th in the 
100 butterfly (59.74). 

Helm, a senior, earned three individual 
places. She was 7th in the 1000 free 
(10:54.91), 8th in the 200 backstroke (2:10.42

A tuition increase may be one 
result of Governor Ed Rendell's 
proposed budget. 

The Pennsylvania House of 
Representatives passed his pro- 
posed budget March 6. 
Pennsylvania Senate passed the 
budget March 13. 

According to a letter from 
Chancellor Judy G. Hample, 
"Governor Rendell has said he 
will return to the General 
Assembly on March 25 and pre- 
sent additional budget proposals- 
particularly in the areas of eco- 



nomic development and basic 
education." 

Hample wrote that Rendell's 
March 25 proposals might "re- 
open" the budgeting process. 

"While the budget is still tenta- 
tive, Clarion has begun planning 
for a possible $2.9 million short- 
fall," said Ron Wilshire, vice pres- 
ident for student and university 
relations. "If the shortfall 
becomes a reality, measures could 
include a 10 percent decrease in 
the operating budget, deferring 
the university master plan pro- 
jects, eliminate strategic planning 
additions, and reduce staff and 
faculty positions. The reduction in 



positions would come essentially 
from vacant and temporary posi- 
tions that would not be replaced." 
Clarion University President 
Diane Reinhard asked in an e-mail 
March 12 for the faculty's cooper- 
ation for a shortfall that is "more 
severe than any we have experi- 
enced during my 13-year tenure." 
"Our immediate concern is our 
development of the course sched- 
ule for next fall. Over the next 
several days, the provost and 
deans will be meeting with the 
department chairs to identify 
ways to increase instructional 
course capacity," ReinrTaTd*sard in 
the same e-mail. 




Outdoor activity 




Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call 

Some Clarion University students enjoyed this week's favorable weather by 
playing a game of ultimate frisbee on the courts located along Wood Street by 
Nair and Wilkinson Halls. 



Rendell budgeted the State 
System of Higher Education 
$434.8 million for the 2003-2004, 
school year- a five percent 
decrease from what the board of 
governors requested, Wilshire 
explained. 

In October, the SSHE Board of 
Governors approved a budget 
request of $459 million for the 
2003-2004 school year. 

"The budget projections also 
include a 4.5 percent increase in 
tuition," Wilshire said. 

Even with the board of gover- 
nors' $459 million request, tuition 
was expected to increase by $200 
to balance the budget. 

Tuition increased nine percent 
during the 2002-2003 school year 
after the SSHE budget was cut by 
three percent, and after the SSHE 
received a $2 million increase 
during the 2001-2002 school year. 

"I think the cost of education is 
already high enough," said Sarah 
Weilacher, freshman elementary 
education major.

Grunenwald next president 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Dr. Joseph Grunenwald, vice 
president of academic affairs and 
provost at Clarion University, has 
been chosen to succeed Dr. Diane 
Reinhard as university president. 

His presidency will be effective 
June 1,2003. 

"I was genuinely thrilled," said 
Grunenwald about the selection. 

Grunenwald said going through 
the search process was smooth, 
although he didn't complain when 
it ended. 

"I felt really comfortable 
throughout the process," said 
Grunenwald. 

Grunenwald is entering the job 
at a time when the university is 
facing many budget cuts. 

Grunenwald said faculty posi- 



tions might be cut as a result. 

"We will look first at open posi- 
tions," said Grunenwald. 

"All we have is estimates right 
now," said Grunenwald concern- 
ing the budget. 

He is prepared to deal with the 
cuts. 

"It will be a task," said 
Grunenwald. "Having a business 
background makes a difference." 

He received both a Doctor of 
Business Administration and a 
Master of Business 

Administration from Kent State 
University. He also holds a 
Bachelor of Engineering from 
Youngstown State University. 

Grunenwald stated that all cur- 
rent fundraising initiatives that the 
Foundation executes will contin-

ue. He also said the university 
will continue to fund projects that 
are funded by the state. 

Grunenwald has ideas for new 
initiatives, but will wait to 
announce them until the budget is 
finalized. 

"It's premature to talk about new 
initiatives until we see if we can 
pay for the current initiatives," 
said Grunenwald. 

He said morale has decreased at 
some universities due to budget 
cuts, but not at Clarion. He says 
the faculty plays a large part in 
keeping the Clarion atmosphere 
positive. 

"Our faculty is national quality, 
said Grunenwald. "Everybody has 
a can-do attitude. I have confi- 
dence that as a community we'll 
make the right decisions." 

Community is very important to 
Grunenwald. 

"Critical to building an academ- 
ic community is communication," 
said Grunenwald. "You can't 



leave people by the wayside." 

Grunenwald believes his time 
spent at Clarion has prepared him 
to take on the role of president. 

"I have seen the university in all 
its dimensions," said Grunenwald. 
"That experience is invaluable. It 
allows me to hit the ground run- 
ning." 

"The university has selected a 
man who has devoted his life to 
the university," said Dr. Sue 
Hilton, faculty senate chair. "You 
couldn't ask for anything else." 

The university hired search firm 
A.T. Kearny to seek candidates 
for the presidency after Dr. 
Reinhard announced her retire- 
ment. The firm, along with the 
Presidential Search Committee, 
chose five candidates they 
thought were qualified to serve as 
president. 

Each candidate spoke at open 
forums both on Venango and 
Clarion campuses in front of fac- 
ulty, staff and students. The five

candidates were then narrowed to 
three by the Presidential Search 
Committee and the Council of 
Trustees. 

The three candidates were invit- 
ed to Harrisburg to meet 
Chancellor Judy Hample. 
Hample made the final decision.

Kealey is appointed associate director of Campus Life 



by Denise Carter 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Michelle Kealey is the newly 
appointed associate director of 
campus life at Clarion University. 

"The interview process began 
about 8 a.m. and lasted until 
around 6:30 p.m. and involved 
many students and staff mem- 
bers," said Kealey. 

She began her work at Clarion 
University in 1999 as Resident 
Director for Nair Hall. She feels 
that role taught her skills she will 
use in her new position. 

"I learned to be prepared for 
anything - the unexpected," said 
Kealey. "It taught me the value of 
being organized and keeping 
track of meetings and commit- 
tees." 

Kealey also learned not to be 
afraid to ask to implement new 
things or to challenge the status 
quo of things. 

She received a Masters degree 
from Kent State in Higher 
Education Administration.

-DeAnn Martz 



Among Kealey's job duties are 
overseeing staff training and 
development of Residence Life 
and the Mary Walter Leadership 
Development Series. She also 
oversees the north and south area 
desks. 

"One of the big reasons she was 
chosen is because she had experi- 
ence working here before and has 
been able to adapt very well to the 
changes made in student affairs," 
said DeAnn Martz a member of 
the search committee. "She also 
sets high standards for her staff 
and has great leadership abilities." 

"The best thing about my job is 
the interaction with students, the 



energy and excitement that comes 
with it, and that there is some- 
thing new everyday," said Kealey. 
There is never a dull moment." 

She believes that the skills that 
are necessary for this job are 
organization, patience, ability to 
think on your own, problem solv- 
ing, a sense of humor, people 
skills, and the ability to work in a 
sometimes chaotic environment. 

Kealey explains that she some- 
times has three or four different 
programs that she is in the middle 
of and that is usually when the 
unexpected occurs. 

Sophomore Marketing major 
Essence Alford had the opportuni- 
ty to work with Kealey. 

" I met her through my job 
working at the south area desk 
and working with her was great 
because she is a very nice person 
and is easy to talk to," said Alford 

Programs that she has planned 
this semester include four classes

Rising gas prices cause C.U.P. students to have lighter pockets

College students are notorious 
tor cutting corners to survive. 
What other rational people can 
survive on a diet of Spaghetti 
O's. tuna fish and Ramen noo- 
dles? But when it comes to fill- 
ing gas tanks there simply aren't 
any shortcuts. 

The rise of gas prices seems to 
have no effect on the quantity of 
gas sold. It also seems to have 
little effect on the amount of dri- 
ving done by college students. 

Many students feel there is 
nothing that can be done. 

"Gas has become a necessity to 
our society and must be budget- 
ed into our incomes no matter 
what the cost," said senior 
Marketing major Ken Herman 
Jr. "For this reason I do not let 
the constant jumping of prices 
affect me." 

Some Clarion students can 
remember a time when they had 
more change in their pocket 
after a visit to the pumps. 

"I used to be able to fill my 
tank with $11 a year-and-a-half 
ago," said senior Kelly Esno. 

Senior Education major Eric 
Yoder remembers when gas was 



only 90 cents, but he isn't dri- 
ving any less. 

You can't really do anything 
about it," said Yoder. "I don't 
worry about it." 

The national average for gas 
has risen nearly 50 cents in the 
first three months of the year. 

The average at the end of 
December was $1.35 compared 
to $1.82 today. 

Clarion gas stations are cur- 
rently at $1.65 but are supposed 
to be dropping to $1.60 this 
week. As of Monday only 7-11 
had dropped its prices. 

"Gas prices have risen about 
30 cents in the last couple of 
months," said Jared Chase an 
employee of the Gulf Station on 
Second Avenue. 

Chase added that even though 
the price continues to rise, the 
amount of gas sold is steady. 

"We sell the same amount of 
gas," said Chase. "There is just 
more money coming in." 

He explained that gas stations 
don't profit any more from high- 
er gas prices. 

"We set our prices based on the 
price we have to pay," said 
Chase. "Gas stations are always 
making the same amount of 
money." 



The average amount of gas 
bering bought in Clarion is 
approximately $13,000 a week 
per station. 

That is more than $50,000 
worth of gas being purchased a 
week in Clarion. 

Clarion University students are 
responisble for 40 percent of 
that daily total and 65 percent of 
the total for Fridays. 

If a station sells an average of 
$2,000 daily, then Clarion stu- 
dents would be responsible for 
about $6,100 a week per station. 

Chase calls the petroleum 
business the biggest monopoly 
there is. 

"Most of it is profit," said 
Chase. "It is close to 70 percent 
profit and the remaining 30 per- 
cent goes to business upkeep." 

Gas prices might not have 
affected the amount of driving or 
gas sold, but it is on students 
minds. 

"I still drive as much as I used 
to," said freshman Kylie 
Kiebert, but "When it comes to 
driving somewhere I am going 
to think more before just taking 
off." 
Yoder agrees. 

"I am a lot less likely to go on 
road trips," said Yoder. 




Students have differing views on vegetarianism 






by Liz Peglow 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

What do Michael J. Fox, Serena 
Williams, Shania Twain, Chelsea 
Clinton, David Duchovny, and 
Casey Kasem have in common? 
They are all some form of vege- 
tarian. As more and more people 
jump on the bandwagon, the gen- 



eral public has started to ask, 
"what is the story with all this 
vegetarian talk?" 

There are positive health bene- 
fits that come with vegetarianism, 
as well as health concerns. 
Vegetarianism is much more com- 
plicated than most people realize. 
There are many types of vegetari- 
ans and complex diets that are fol- 



lowed. 

Vegans do not eat any animals 
including beef, pork, chicken, 
seafood, eggs, or dairy products. 
Dairy products include cheese, 
butter, yogurt and milk. 

Ovo vegetarians eat eggs but not 
dairy products or meat. 

Lacto vegetarians eat dairy 
products but not eggs or meat. 



Chad Quinones/Clarion Call 

College students have been thinking twice about filling their 
gas tanks up lately. The national average has risen nearly 50 
cents in the first three months of the year. 



Others haven't been affected. 
"I have no right to complain 
when they (gas prices) are high," 
said Herman. "I don't complain 
when they are low. "You can't 
have things both ways." 
Some aren't concerned yet. 
"When (gas prices) reach 
$2.50 I will be more thoughtful 
in conserving gas," said junior 
Education major Suzy Daniels. 

Others are thinking about new 
ways of transportation. 

"I am getting a bike," said 



Esno. 

With war looming in the hori- 
zon, predictions have the nation-

Pesce vegetarians do not eat any 
type of meat. They do, however, 
allow themselves seafood because 
the nerve endings in fish are less 
sensitive to pain. Eating eggs and 
dairy products also is permitted. 
Some do not consider this a valid 
form of vegetarianism, because 
the slaughtering of a living crea- 
ture is still required. 

Lacto-Ovo vegetarians eat eggs 
and dairy products but no meats. 
The most extreme type of vegetar- 
ianism is fruitarian-vegan. These 
vegetarians do not eat meat, dairy 
products, eggs, or any vegetable 
that must be killed in order to be 
eaten. 

There are many reasons why 
people choose to become vegetar- 
ians. There is a list of 101 
Reasons Why I'm a Vegetarian on 
www.vivavegie.org. 

These reasons include health 
concerns, treatment of animals, 
and environmental issues. Reason 
two discusses the amount of pol- 
lution that is caused by agricultur- 
al runoff in lakes and streams. 
This runoff serves as the primary 
pollution source of nearly 60 per- 
cent of "impaired" bodies of 
water. 

Reason nine discusses the dan- 
gers that using antibiotics can 
cause for humans. Currently 70 
percent of the nation's antibiotics 
are used on animals to cause them 
to grow faster on less feed. The 



use of these antibiotics is causing 
resistance in humans and leaving 
us stranded without cures to cer- 
tain illnesses. 

Reason 62 describes a study 
called the China Project. This pro- 
ject discovered links between ani- 
mal protein and chronic illness. 

Reason 81 states the miserable 
conditions animals endure when 
being transported in livestock 
trucks. In the winter months, the 
animals may not only freeze to 
death, but also freeze to sides of 
the trailer or to frozen urine or 
feces. In hot weather they can suf- 
fer from heat stress. 

Sophomore Megan Homer says, 
"I became a vegetarian for two 
reasons. First because I have 
researched the health benefits, 
and two because of the cruel way 
the animals are treated." 

"I tried it because I basically 
wanted to know what being a veg- 
itarian was like - not for any polit- 
ical reason," said sophomore 
Laura Buss. "I did it for three 
weeks and really enjoyed it. It 
changes how you feel; you feel 
healthier. I had to stop though, 
because Chandler didn't have 
many alternatives that I liked." 

Other students like junior Jason 
Decker are content with their cur- 
rent lifestyle. 

"I'm not really against killing 
animals for food," said Decker. "I 
really like the taste of meat." 



Financial aid renewal process starts 



Courtresy of Ken Grugel 
Director of Financial Aid 

Kenneth Grugel, director of 
financial aid at Clarion 
University, says the deadline to 
apply for the 2003-2004 academic 
year is May 1, 2003. 

Any student interested in a fed- 
eral PELL Grant, Pennsylvania 
State Grant (PHEAA) or a 
Stafford Loan MUST complete 
the Free Application for Federal 
Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to 
be eligible for these aid programs. 

Pennsylvania residents must file 
the FAFSA by the May 1 deadline 
in order to receive consideration 
for the PHEAA Grant. 

"A student's chance of receiving 
a state grant if he or she doesn't 
file by the May 1 deadline is very, 
very slim - even if the family 
qualifies financially," said Grugel. 
Students who would like to 
apply for aid for summer school 
should contact personnel in the 
Office of Financial Aid after April 



15 for specific instructions. 

Mr. Grugel reminds students to 
be aware of the academic progress 
requirements that must be met in 
order to continue to receive finan- 
cial aid. 

Full time students must earn at 
least 21 new credits each academ- 
ic year to maintain eligibility for 
Stafford Loans and PELL Grants. 

PHEAA Grant recipients must 
pass 24 new credits each year. 

In addition, once a student has 
completed 60 credits, a cumula- 
tive grade point average of at least 
a 2.0 must be maintained. 

The 2003-2004 FAFSA is a yel- 
low and white application and is 
currently available in the Office 
of Financial Aid - 104 Egbert 
Hall- or in Frame Hall on 
Vengango Campus. 

Office hours are 8:30 a.m. - 5 
p.m. Monday through Friday.

EDITORIAL, SCOTT KANE 
A True Ins pi nil ion" 



At college I have met many 
people and made a lot of 
friends. I have also experienced 
a great deal in the many organi- 
zations to which I have 
belonged. But there is one per- 
son who has inspired me in so 
many ways. 

In my artwork and in my spir- 
itual life, my good friend Dan 
McAdoo has been a true inspira- 
tion. 

Many of us know this kind 
hearted ladies man with a ton of 
girls around him, the tremen- 
dous artist who creates awe- 
some sculptures and paintings, 
or the kind hearted Christian 
who devotes time to the church. 
But many of us don't know the 
story behind Dan McAdoo. 

Dan McAdoo was born with a 
rare disease called Wilson's dis- 



ease. 

According to the website, 
http://www.wilsonsdisease.org/, 
Wilson's disease is a condition 
in which copper is not removed 
from the system and builds up in 
the liver. 

When the body has excess 
copper it attacks the liver or the 
brain which can result in hepati- 
tis, psychiatric, or neurological 
symptoms. 

The disease is fatal if not 
detected and treated. 

In Dan's case he lost the abil- 
ity to walk, talk and function as 
a normal boy at the age of 
seven. His doctors caught it 
early enough and in about a year 
he was able to gain back his 
abilities. He had to work at it 
though. 
For those who don't know Dan

,he is a great artist. He can illus- 
trate a person with such precise 
detail it appears to be a photo, 
and he creates sculptures that 
can capture the attention of peo- 
ple who have no interest in art. 
He has entered hundred of art- 
work exhibitions, and won 
prizes in many of them. 

While Dan has been a tremen- 
dous inspiration to my artwork, 
his Christian life has inspired 
me even more. 

About a year ago, I believed in 
Christ, but it was not until I 
attended Zion Baptist Church 
with Dan that I became a true 
believer. His passion for serving 
the Lord is so strong that anyone 
around him can be inspired to 
believe. 

Dan will be graduating this 
summer with an art degree with 
two concentrations- painting 
and sculpture. 

I constantly harass him to pick 
up a third concentration so we 
can graduate together. 

He is a friend I know I will 
have for life. When I am sitting 
around 20 years from now 
remembering my college experi- 
ence, I will truly remember him, 
not only for his contributions to 
the art world but also for his 
contributions to my world. 

The author is a junior art 
major with an concentration in 
graphic design.

Letter to the Editor 



Call reader expresses concern for crosswalks 



Dear Editor, 

I am writing this letter to address 
the disregard motorists have for 
crosswalks in Clarion; particular- 
ly the one situated near the corner 
of South Street and Greenville 
Avenue. 

I am a college student, and walk 
to class from my apartment on 
South Street. Consequently, I 
have to cross Greenville Avenue 
at this crosswalk each time I need 
to go to campus. 

Frankly, I am concerned for the 



safety of myself and others as we 
cross there (when someone finally 
stops and allows us to cross). 
Motorists violate the posted speed 
limits, and totally disregard the 
fact that there is a crosswalk. At 
any given point during the week, 
there are at least one or two stu- 
dents waiting to cross the street. 

I have spoken with many of my 
fellow students on this matter, and 
have heard many complaints on 
this subject. 

One student even witnessed a 



police car go cruising by while 
she stood at the side of the street, 
waiting to cross. 

This is dangerous for the pedes- 
trians, and must be addressed. 
Almost every time I have to cross 
there, I stand by the edge of the 
road while three or four cars past. 

The last I knew, the white lines 
painted on the road meant that 
cars were to stop while pedestri- 
ans crossed, not the other way 
around. I have received many 
dirty looks from drivers as they

Day" more about process than 



by Matthew T. May 
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor 

• ; 

At 3 a.m. on March 15, Timothy 
Mooney lay on the floor of the 
Marwick-Boyd computer lab with 
his sweatshirt draped over his face. 

For more than 20 years, Mooney 
has acted, directed and written for 
theater. However, he looked ill pre- 
pared to write a play in nine hours 
while stuck in a room with a pro- 
fessor and five student playwrights 
attempting to do the same. 

As the student playwrights loudly 
passed another obscene joke 
between themselves, Mooney 
began grinding his palms into his 
eye sockets. 

Five hours earlier at 10 p.m. on 
Friday, playwrights, directors and 
actors from Clarion University and 
the local community gathered with 
excitement in Marwick-Boyd's 
Little Theatre for "Play in a Day." 



The purpose of the event was to 
write, rehearse and perform seven 
original short plays in only 24 
hours. 

Robert Levy, associate professor 
of theater and one of the play- 
wrights, entered the Little Theatre 
in his usual dark attire and 
announced with a stopwatch in 
hand, "The clock has started." 

While eating pie and sipping on 
punch, the playwrights and direc- 
tors informally spoke with as many 
actors as they could during the next 
20 minutes. They had no idea who 
would be cast in their plays. 

"This is the only time in the 
industry you'll be cast for just 
showing up," Levy, who also orga- 
nized the event, told the actors 
shortly before he asked them to 
leave. They would return at 8 a.m. 
to begin rehearsing their freshly 
written roles. 

The playwrights and directors 



Irish storyteller speaks 



by Beth LeVier-Pentz 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



At 8 p.m. on March 16 in Hart 
Chapel, the University Activities 
Board sponsored a one-man show 
titled "The Shanachie an Irish 
Storyteller." The show was written 
and performed by Scott Keely 
who has worked for Avatar 
Productions since 1979. 

Avatar Productions produce one- 
man shows that tour colleges, uni- 
versities and art organizations all 
over the country. 

The attendance to this produc- 
tion was only about 50 people. 

Scott Keely had a very strong 
Irish accent that sounded very 
authentic but made it very hard for 
the audience to understand what 
he was saying. 

The set only consisted of one 
stool, table, chair and coat rack. 
Keely was dressed in old Irish 
attire and carried a guitar and a 
lantern. He also carried a leather 



duffel bag that had whiskey and 
bread in it. 

Much to the audience's displea- 
sure, he proceeded to chew on the 
bread for most of the first act and 
talk with his mouth full. He also 
downed a lot of whiskey through- 
out the evening, which he called 
the water of life. 

He claimed whiskey helps peo- 
ple see better, so he drank it all the 
time so he can see the little people 
(a.k.a. Leprechauns) because he 
worked for them. 

Supposedly his job was to get 
people from this time period to 
believe in the existence of the lit- 
tle people, that was why he was 
called the Shanachie. The job of a 
Shanachie was to entertain the 
young and old alike with their sto- 
rytelling. Only the older audience 
members seemed entertained 
while those the age of college stu- 
dents seemed bored. 

Besides being a storyteller, the 
See 'Irish' Page 9 



stayed behind to introduce them- 
selves and discuss ideas for their 
plays. While introductions abound- 
ed, ideas did not. 

Grinning guest playwright 
Timothy Mooney asked, "Are there 
any limitations to what we can do?" 
Levy nonchalantly said that he 
could do anything he could write in 
the next nine hours. 

Levy told the directors to return at 
7 a.m. for their scripts. The play- 
wrights hurried to the dressing 
room to cast actors before they 
wrote the plays. 

"We don't even know how many 
characters we're going to have," 
Mary Boldish said. 

"You'll know by how many I give 
you," replied Levy as he handed 
her a note card. 

When the actors arrived, they 
filled out note cards with only their 
name, gender and age. Levy dealt 
the note cards out to the play- 
wrights without looking at the 
names. 

One of the playwrights cried out 
as if in pain while looking at his 
cards. 

Within minutes, the playwrights 
found themselves hurrying down 
the dim hallways that separated 
where they wrote ideas and where 
others brought them to life. 

Staring at cold, white computer 
screens as the clock passed 1 1 p.m., 
they began desperately searching 
for inspiration. 

Some tried finding it through 
chain smoking in the parking lot 
while others chatted through 
instant messengers on their com- 
puters. Mooney sat with his head in 
his hands over the keyboard. 

As Friday became Saturday with 
little sound of typing, the student 
playwrights relieved their stress by 
telling strings of dirty jokes. 

Finally, after an hour of banter, 
the tapping of keyboards began to 
fill the room in sporadic bursts. 

Reeking of cigarette smoke and 
wearing a brown, curly-haired wig, 
Karl Jacobson said, "It's two in the 
morning, and I feel like I'm losing 
my mind." 




Matthew T. May/The Clarion Call 

Playwrights and directors from "Play in a Day" prepared to cre- 
ate and perform seven original plays in under 24 hours. 



As a few playwrights read their 
scripts to each other, the lines par- 
alleled the jokes they previously 
told. Seated behind the rest of the 
playwrights, Mooney slightly 
smiled but shook his head as he lis- 
tened to his fellow writers. 

Around 4 a.m. sheer exhaustion 
and stress mixed with inspiration 
finally began giving birth to fingers 
racing along keyboards and screens 
filling with words. 

The printer churned out the stu- 
dent playwright's scripts shortly 
before the sun rose. They took 
them to the Little Theatre for a read 
through. 

Mooney, typing like a man pos- 
sessed, stayed behind as pale sun- 
light coated him through the win- 
dows. He finished slightly before 
the directors arrived. 

With heavy eyelids and some 
slightly incoherent speech, the 
playwrights pitched their plays to 
the directors. The concepts ranged 
from an outrageous dating game 
show to reincarnation. 

Timothy Mooney 's play was a 
musical. 

The directors picked the plays 
without seeing the scripts or know- 
ing which actors the plays were 
dealt. 
For the next 45 minutes, the play- 



l/FE 



wrights discussed with their direc- 
tors what they envisioned for their 
plays. 

The playwrights left as the actors 
arrived. They were scheduled to 
return at 3 p.m. for rewrites since 
Levy did not allow the directors to 
change the scripts. 

On a blackboard outside the Little 
Theatre, the actors found their roles 
under plays with titles like 
"Regurgitating Bob" and "Vox Pop 
Sin Vox." 

The directors took their actors to 
different parts of Marwick-Boyd to 
begin rehearsals on scripts that 
even the directors had only read 45 
minutes before. 

• While minuscule roles insulted 
some actors, others like Aaron 
Zimmerman, Andrea Smith and 
Lauren Gilley were overwhelmed 
being cast in a musical with five 
completely original songs. 

Throughout the building, actors 
stumbled through their scripts as 
they tried getting into their charac- 
ters and memorizing lines the play- 
wrights could rewrite. 

"The only way to do this is 
through repetition," Ken Pruitt, 
director of "Regurgitating Bob," 
told his cast.

Movie Review 



"Willard" a creepy yet fun experience 



Woody Allen once said that 
sometimes he felt like the world 
was a tuxedo and he was a brown 
pair of shoes. Both "Willard" the 
film and Willard the character 
might prescribe to this ideal. 

The film itself seems to be 
bound by very little categorical

restraints. It is not a horror film, 
but it has killer rats. It is not a 
thriller because we pretty much 
know what is going to happen 
from the get go. It isn't even a 
comedy even though there are 
scenes of obvious humor. 

What is "Willard?" To answer 
this question it is almost neces- 
sary to answer the question of 
who is Willard? 

Willard is already hot water 
brought to a boil. He is a loose 
grip turned tight and even a dry 
eye beginning to well with tears. 
Willard is a humiliated, miser- 
able failure in life that has no 
purpose other than taking care of 
his dying mother and fulfilling a 
stipulation in his deceased 
fathers company contract. 

Willard has settled into the fact 
that he is going nowhere. Even 
his mother tells him that he 
needs a more handsome name 
like "Clark." There is an obvious 
resemblance between Willard 
and his mother and the relation- 
ship between Norman Bates and 
his famous mom. 

However, instead of having 
Janet Lee coming to stay with 
them, Willard and his mother 
have other houseguests. "Willard 
there are rats in the basement!" 

Indeed there are rats, both 
computer generated rats and real 
rats. After investigating the rat 
problem Willard, played by 
Crispin Glover ("Back to the 
Future," "Charle's Angels"), 
decides to take care of what he

thinks is a minor pest problem. 

He goes to the supermarket to 
find the best solution to his prob- 
lem. After several failed 
attempts, Willard finally snags 
one of the varmints. Willard isn't 
able to exterminate it, but 
instead he acquaints himself 
with the rat and names him 
Socrates because of his high rat 
IQ. 

Willard has never had a friend. 
But now he has one and soon 
realizes that he has thousands of 
new friends. 

Another of these friends is 
named Big Ben. Ben is a very 
large rat that seems to be about 
the size of a small dog and can 
eat through car tires. 

Socrates and Ben represent 
more than just two rats; they rep- 
resent the good and evil that is 
within Willard. Ben, represent- 
ing the darker side of Willard 
and Socrates, the more passion- 
ate and good side, they are the 
respective devil and angel on 
Willard's shoulders. 

Willard realizes that he has 
some sort of control over his rat 
friends and soon instructs them 
to do his dirty work. These 
instructions are in English and 
this would imply that the rats in 
the film could understand what 
Willard is saying when, in fact, 
Willard has a psychic connection 
with the rats. 

The film does a poor job of 
explaining this connection and 
the results are scenes that to 
make Willard seem silly. The 
failure of a good explanation 
about the connection between 
Willard and the rats, however, is 
the only weakness the film has. 

Crispin Glover is perfect for 
this role. His already unique per- 
sonality tied with the irreverence 
of his character make for a fun 
performance. Any other actor 
would have botched this role. 
Yet in Glover, an actor that has

made a career of playing odd 
balls and misfits, we really get a 
sense of who Willard is. 

Playing Willard's overpower- 
ing boss is R. Lee Ermey ("Full 
Metal Jacket," "Se7en"). Ermey 
is also perfect for his role as an 
egotistical, money-hungry boss 
on a power trip. 

Ermey hates Willard and 
makes it his daily obligation to 
remind Willard of how worthless 
and expendable he is. This 
reminded me of the relationship 
between Sgt. Hartman (R. Lee 
Ermey) and Private Pile in "Full 
Metal Jacket." 

The film is beautifully shot, 
and its dark atmosphere tied in 
with cheap colorful Americana is 
a perfect mix. There are a lot of 
dark shadows, shots of Willard 
walking down a street at night 
with only the streetlights to illu- 
minate him and a factory that is 
so bleak it makes sweat shops 
seem appealing. 

All of this combined with 
Willard's offbeat creepiness 
makes for a fun film. There are 
indeed cheesy elements to this 
film and in a whole seems like a 
full-length "Twilight Zone" 



episode, but what's wrong with 
that? 

This film comes at a perfect 
time. Following an Oscar season 
full of pretentious and main- 
stream friendly films. "Willard" 
offers a chance to suspend belief 
-- something that films were 
made for and studios have for- 
gotten about.

Irishl Storyteller speaks, 
from Page 8. 

Shanachie was also a musician. 
He would get out his guitar and 
sing to the audience. 

While Keely was a good singer 
and guitar player, his songs all 
dealt with death and betrayal. 

Unbelievably, he had the audi- 
ence sing along to a song about a 
woman who had a six-month-old 
child, which she stabbed in the 
head with a three-inch long knife 
blade. 

Surprisingly, many people sang 
along. Some even clapped and 
cheered when the song was over. 
Others were extremely offended 
by the lyrics. 

Despite the obvious boredom 
of the audience towards the end 
of the show, the last five minutes 
of the play were very exciting. 
This had nothing to do with 
Keely. 

A bat had gotten into the Hart 
Chapel and was over the audi- 
ence and Keely. It even came 
very close to landing on the 
actor's head a few times. 

In the end. the but u us the high- 
light of the performance.

Flayl Process over product 
from Page 8. 

Meanwhile, director Bill Gibson 
was trying not only to help his cast 
memorize their lines but learn how 
to sing them for Mooney's musical, 
"Knowing and Not Knowing." 
Gibson was also trying to find 
someone to compose music to go 
with the songs. 

Karl Jacobson, who was sup- 
posed to go home and sleep before 
returning to do rewrites, wrote two 
rewrites before noon for his play 
"Ain't that a Shot in the Shizzy." 

By the afternoon, the cast of 
"Regurgitating Bob" had their lines 
memorized and were working on 
extra character traits for their roles. 
On the opposite side of the build- 
ing, the cast of "Vox Pop Sin Vox," 
Robert Levy's political satire, was 
still figuring out how to pronounce 
complicated names of government 
officials, world leaders and foreign 
countries and cities. 

Music from a keyboard and 
unsure voices leaked from the 
dressing room where the cast of 
Mooney's musical nervously prac- 
ticed. 

In the lobby outside the Little 
Theatre, professor and actor Rob 
Bullington lay on a sofa with his 
hand on his forehead. He stared 
into the ceiling. 

Production began moving to Hart 
Chapel by 4:30 p.m. for technical 
rehearsals. All participants helped 
load vehicles with props they need- 
ed, mostly chairs and boxes, for 
their performances. 

Knowing that they would be the 



last performance and last rehearsal, 
the cast for Mooney's musical 
stayed behind to rehearse in privacy. 
Each set of performers for the 
seven plays only had 20 minutes to 
rehearse on the stage upon which 
they were to perform. Part of the 
time was used by the directors to 
set up props and lights. 

Several actors who performed 
solidly in the Little Theatre and 
hallways of Marwick-Boyd began 
forgetting lines once under the hot 
lights in their final rehearsal. Many 
plays went over their 20-minute 
limits. 

When the cast of Mooney's 
"Knowing and Not Knowing" took 
the stage, it was already 7:25 p.m. 
The doors were supposed to open at 
7:30 p.m. and the play was to begin 
at 8 p.m. 

Outside Hart Chapel, a crowd 
began to form during the late final 
rehearsal. 

With little time, the cast of 
"Knowing and Not Knowing" took 
the stage and belted out lyrics they 
only learned earlier that day before 
the songs were even composed. 
Mooney clapped emphatically. 

As the audience filtered in around 
them, Mooney sat with his actors. 
His hand rested on Aaron 
Zimmerman's shoulder. 

"Whatever happens, happens," he 
told them. "Just go with it." 

When the process began, Robert 
Levy compared "Play in a Day" to 
a high wire act. When the final cur- 
tain came down 23 hours and 29 
minutes later, not one person had to 
use a safety net — in fact, not one 
of them even looked down.

66 The2003 

NCAA 

tournament 

should be 

exciting and 

bizpne 

as ever. & 

-Brent Sutherland 



March madness is in full swing for 
college basketball and selection 
Sunday was rather disappointing for 
Pittsburgh fans. Pittsburgh enters the 
tournament as the Big East 
Conference champions with a record 
of 264. However, the Panthers were 
meagerly rewarded with a number two 
seed. 

I consider this somewhat of a traves- 
ty. The lone reason why this is not 
absolutely a crime comes from 
Kentucky and their 29-3 mark. 
Kentucky is regarded as the hottest 
team in basketball and dersevedly so. 
Therefore, Kentucky owns the number 
one seed in the Midwest bracket 
instead of Pittsburgh. 

Pittsburgh could have made a strong 
case for the number one seed in any 
bracket. Texas and Oklahoma are both 
number one seeds with six losses. 
Arizona is a legitimate number one 
seed with a record of 25-3, but still the 
Panthers could make an argument in 
that bracket too. 

Regardless of the seeding, the 
NCAA Tournament will begin 
Thursday. The Panthers play number 
15 seed Wagner with a season mark of 
21-10. Pittsburgh should destroy 
Wagner on their way to face either 
Indiana or Alabama. 

Both Indiana and Alabama can be 
dangerous. Both teams were ranked in 
the top 10 this season. Alabama was 
actually ranked number one for a 
week. Indiana has a nucleus of players 
who played roles in last season's title 
game run. 
With the NCAA Tournament as wild- 



BY BREiNT SUTHERLAND 

ly predicable as it is, Pittsburgh will be 
lucky to see the Final Four. 
Unfortunately, I foresee the Panthers 
falling in the second round to Indiana. 
I think that terrible free throw percent- 
age will haunt the Panthers and ulti- 
mately end their spirited season. 
It is quite possible that I will be com- 
pletely wrong about this year's tourna- 
ment. Maybe this is Pittsburgh's year 
to win it all. An amazing feat that 
would be, but it seems too unlikely for 
me to believe. I think that there are 
some sleepers in the Midwest. I like 
Indiana, Missouri and Tulsa to surprise 
people. 

Sleepers from other brackets include 
LSU, Creighton, and Pennsylvania. 
My Final Four includes Kentucky, 
Syracuse, Kansas, and LSU. 
The 2003 NCAA Tournament should 
be as exciting and bizarre as ever. The 
defending champion Maryland 
Terrapins are seeded sixth. 

The situation in Iraq is also a major 
concern. In fact, the NCAA President 
Myles Brand said that games could be 
postponed width the pending situation. 
Realizing that the present time in 
America is volatile, President Brand 
addressed the possible postponed 
games on Monday for the first time. 

This pivotal point in history could 
make a basketball tournament seem 
rather petty. With the leadership of 
George W Bush and our military, 
hopefully we can resolve this situation 
and return to normality. I am confident 
that justice will be served and that God 
will continue to bless the United States 
of America and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Golden Eagles soar over 
expectations this season 



by Nick ( amuso 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

Three key starters lost to 
graduation, several freshmen 
forced to play significant 
roles, and an apparent lack of 
size, with the largest regular 
being a mere 6-foot-7. 

Entering the season, Clarion 
head coach Ron Righter felt 
20 wins would be an after- 
thought for a team supposedly 
in transition. 

The men's basketball team 
didn't reach that vaunted 
plateau, but they came close in 
trying. 

The Golden Eagles 19-10 
record, 7-5 in the conference, 
was good enough for a third 
place finish in the ultra-com- 
petitive PSAC West. 

While Clarion's run for 
another PSAC-West title was 
unexpected in some circles, 
the team never doubted its 
ability. 

Players exclaimed this was 
an extremely tight-knit, team- 
oriented group with only one 
goal in mind, to win. 

When you have profession- 
als like Cleveland's Ricky 
Davis shooting at his own 
team's basket in an attempt for 
a meaningless triple-double, 
the Golden Eagle appraoch of 
putting egos aside for the sake 
of the team is quite refreshing. 
The sense of togetherness 
and camaraderie made the sea- 
son ending loss to Millersville 
bittersweet. 

Following an impressive 76- 
63 win over Edinboro in the 
first round of the PSAC play- 
offs, Clarion was primed to 
pull off an upset against a for- 
midable Millersvilee squad. 

It was never meant to be, as 
Millersville grabbed a big-lead 
and never looked back. 

The Marauders shot a scin- 
tillating 57 percent in the first 
half and cruised to a 22 point 
victory. 



Regardless of the final out- 
come, the 2002-03 team has 
nothing to hang their hands 
about. 

Rollie Smith and Dereck 
Rankin provided leadership 
and timely scoring from the 
guard spots. The duo was the 
team's top two scorers this 
season. 

Smith leave with an accom- 
plished basketball resume that 
rivals other Clarion greats. 

Chris Kelly, Steve Nesmith, 
and Ben Meese added grit and 
toughness, often doing little 
things not seen within the con- 
tents of the stat sheet, though 
vital to a team's success. 

Kelly, despite his 6-foot-2 
frame, led the Eagles in 
rebounding, hauling down 8.1 
boards per game. Nesmith 
served as an emotional spark- 
plug, letting teammates feed 
off his intense nature and ten- 
dency to take charge. Meese 
offered senior leadership and 
size inside which the Golden 
Eagle severely lacked. 

Terrance Vaughns and 
Shamar Green stepped up as 
freshmen. Vaughns matured as 
the season progressed and 
showed potential as a capable 
scorer, averaging 10.4 points 
per game. The 6-foot-5 Green 
usually came off the bench 
and provided a spark with his 
versatility. 

Both project as a legitimate 
candidates for conference 
"Rookie of the Year" honors 
and key players in future 
Clarion basketball. 

Freshmen Justin Collins and 
Marko Joksomovic also saw 
plenty time off the bench and 
with experience should prove 
to be key players in seasons to 
come. 

While common knowledge 
would assume that Clarion is 
due for a letdown next season, 
don't overlook this team. 
Whose to say history can't 
repeat itself?

Wrestling 



Four CU wrestlers head to NCAA D-l tournament 



by Julie Evenoski 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

Coming off a successful weekend at 
the EWL (Eastern Wrestling League) 
Championships at West Virginia 
University, the Clarion University 
Wrestling team will be sending four 
veteran athletes to the NCAA Division 
1 Tournament. 

The four men representing Clarion 
will be seniors John Testa (heavy- 
weight), Rad Martinez, (133), Eric 
Mausser (197), and junior Frank Edgar 
(141). 

Head Coach Ken Nellis is pleased 
with Clarion's representation for 
Nationals which will be held at the 
Kemper Arena in Kansas City, 
Missouri this weekend. 

He attributes the strong work ethic 
among the qualifiers as a leading fac- 
tor to their individual success. 

"All four men work very hard and are 
disciplined in their training. They are 



motivated in the weight room as well 
as the wrestling room," said Coach 
Nellis. 

Training for the National tourna- 
ment is a little different than training 
for a regular match. 

"The practices are more structured to 
their drilling and the athletes do short- 
er live wrestling sessions. We want 
the practices to be intense and concise 
on their wrestling skills. We also 
want them to feel as fresh as possible," 
explained Nellis. 

Going to the NCAA Championships 
won't be something new to the quali- 
fiers because Testa, Martinez, Mausser, 
and Edgar have been to Nationals 
before. According to Coach Nellis, all 
four of the have the ability to place in 
the Top 8 at their weight class. 

All four wrestlers have the potential 
to earn Ail-American honors with the 
experience they have and our to do 
well. 

Heavyweight John Testa won the 
PSAC and EWL titles this year. It was 



his fourth straight PSAC title and third 
straight EWL title. Therefore, John 
should be seeded in the Top 10 at his 
weight class. 

"He has competed with most of the 
guys ahead of him and done very well. 
John is physically and mentally pre- 
pared to win it all," said Nellis. 

"The Clarion Wrestlers completed 
their 2002-2003 with a 9-8 record. 
The practices and work ethic displayed 
by the athletes day-in and day-out was 
excellent. However, I felt that our dual 
meet record could have been better," 
said Nellis. 

Coach Nellis was impressed with 
the work effort and commitment by his 
coaching staff. 

"New Assistant Coaches Jason 
Robison and Graduate Assistant Doug 
Cieleski did a great job teaching and 
training the wrestlers," said Nellis. 

As for next year's team, there are 
many returning wrestlers and the 
future for Clarion wrestling looks 
bright. 




Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call 
Frank Edgar (14 1) is the only under-

Nationals.

Spring training in Savannah kicks off baseball season 




by Pete Vuckovich Jr. 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

Although the weather is not very season like 
for baseball in Clarion, it was in Savannah, 
Ga. where the 2003 Clarion University 
Golden Eagles baseball team traveled for the 
annual training trip to officially kick off their 
season. 

The trip began with a four-game stop in 
Virginia and then continued south for seven 
more games. Despite losing two days to rain, 
the team managed to get all 11 games in 
including playing double-header days. 

"Some of the guys were starting to wear 
down physically by the end there, but nobody 
gave up. The younger guys really showed us 
a lot. They stepped in and did what was asked 
of them," said co-captain Jared Frey. 

The team did not fare as well as they would 
have liked down south coming back with a 1- 
10 start to the season. However, for it being the 
first time that they were outside for the season, 
they did compete well with five teams that 
were nationally ranked and already had some 
games under their belts. 

"Overall you can never be happy with a 1- 10 
record. We made some mistakes that will be 
eliminated with practicing and playing out- 
side," said 4th year Head Coach Scott 
Feldman. 

Although spring training did not exactly go 



the way Clarion's baseball team would have 
liked, the season ahead looks promising. 

The team will be led by co-captain Geremy 
Hoover (senior/Clearfield) and Frey 
(junior/Mechanicsburg) who will also lead the 
duties in the outfield at center and right. 
Hoover was a first team PS AC- West catcher 
last season and averaged .256 playing in all 42 
games. 

Frey led the team with 46 hits and 14 dou- 
bles last season and had a .336 batting average. 
Kevin Gledhill, a transfer who will likely be 
joining them in left, is also expected to be a 
power hitter for the Golden Eagles. 

Along with them, Tom Kimble (fresh- 
men/Apollo), Todd Braid (freshmen/DuBois), 
and Seth Stewart (freshmen/Rimersburg) will 
all battle for playing time. 

The infield will be a mix up of young and 
vertern talent. Junior Brandon McCliment 
(Philipsburg) will return at first base. 
McCliment led the team in hitting last year 
with a .341 average. Jason Kooser (fresh- 
men/Pittsburgh) will play shortstop, paired 
with Jeff Donston (freshmen/New Castle) at 
2nd base. 

Junior college transfer Neil Blewett 
(junior/Toronto, Canada) is slated to start at 
3rd base and is expected to make a major con- 
tribution at the plate. 

"We have solidified our infield with kids 
who can field the ball. We had to replace a 



senior group of infielders that graduated and 
we started with defense," said Feldman. 

A handful of others will be looking for time 
in the infield, including Doug Rowel (soph- 
more/Harrisburg), Blase Caranese (fresh- 
men/Green sburg) , Dan Barrett 
(freshmen/Punxsatawney), Brandon Guiliani 
(freshmen/Moon), Josh Kale (junior/Industry) 
and Derek Parker (freshmen/Pittsburgh). 

The catching duties will be taken care of by 
Pete Vuckovich, Jr. (junior/Johnstown) who is 
back after missing last season with a shoulder 
injury. Kale and Jason Warner (freshmen 
Berwick) will also look for catching time. 

Pitching will play a huge role in the team's 
success this year. Holding the reigns this year 
will be Bill Young (sophmore/Grampian), 
Jake Yale (sophmore/Brockway), and Steve 
Sherman (sophmore/Seneca). Josh Gerstel 
(freshmen/Verona) and Brad Adamski 
(junior/Valencia) will help carry the load and 
round out the top fiver. 

Also looking to contribute will be Nate 
Simpson (sophmore/Brookville), Mike 
Whitling (sophmore/Knox), Matt Hutson 
(sophmore/Washington), and Caleb Martz 
(freshmen/RinggoId). 

The Golden Eagle baseball team expects 
major things to happen this season and have 
set some goals for themselves. 

"We are going to be competitive and com- 
pete for PSAC championship," said Brandon 




Grahm Hermans/The Clarion Call 



Junior Brad Adamski will be a con- 
tributor at the moud this year for the 
Golden Eagles. Pitching will be a 
major factor in the team's success. 

McCliment. 

The team will open up at home on March 26 
at 1 p.m. against Mercyhurst College. 



Successful start gives Lady Eagles confidence for season 



by Nicole Furnia 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

After a successful spring training trip 
to Az., the Clarion Women's Softball 
team is ready to kick off the 2003 sea- 
son and take on the competition of the 
PSAC. 

Clarion played a total of 11 games 
during their stay in Tucson. At the end 
of the week they had gained the expe- 
rience and competition they hoped for 
and left with a record of 5-6. 

The team started off the trip with two 
wins. The first, a convincing 11-3 vic- 
tory over Dominican College. The sec- 
ond, a 1-0 extra inning victory over 
Assumption College. 

In the second day of play, things did 
not go as well as they would have 



liked as the Lady Eagles dropped two 
straight. 

The first loss came down to extra 
innings against Tri-State and the sec- 
ond an 11-0 loss to Siena Heights. 

The remainder of the week Clarion 
faced competition from all over the 
country including; Western New 
Mexico University who proved to be 
Clarion's toughest competition of the 
trip. 

WMU is ranked 11th nationally, 
which places them between California 
University of Pa., who is ranked 10th 
and Bloomsburg University who 
ranked 12th. 

Although Clarion lost both to WMU, 
the first, 1-0 in extra innings and the 
second, 6-4, they were able to play 
competitvely with them and proved 



they will be tough against any type of 
team. 

First-year head coach Natalie Martin 
was very pleased with the progress the 
team made over the week. 

"We made progress during our 11 
games in Arizona, we steadily 
improved in all aspects of the game. 
The team played very well, we were 
very competitive each game. One thing 
we probably learned about ourselves is 
that we never quit, regardless of the 
game situation," said coach Martin. 

Martin feels this team is very strong 
and each team member is fulfilling 
their role well. 

The strongest part of this team is 
pitching and defense. 

"We have spent a lot of time on 
pitching and defense and those two 



areas have been very solid for us," 
said Martin. 

This team has many expectations for 
the season. Coach Martin believes this 
team to be "consistently competitive 
this season." The team has a whole 
new, positive attitude about them- 
selves and this attitude will pay off in 
games. 

"The team we have this year will be 
successful and we will surprise many 
of the PSAC schools we face," said 
senior second-baseman Erin 

Gallagher. 

The next stop for Clarion is the 
Shipensburg tournment March 21-23. 
They open up at home March 25 
against Mercygurst College.

Administration moves p 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Today's peace rally has been 
moved from Carlson Library to 
the outdoor stage area in front of 
Gemmell Student Center. 

The move came after Director of 
the Office of Campus Life, Dr. 
Jeffrey Waple, addressed rally 
organizers at a Monday planning 
meeting. 

Waple told the 25 people present 
that the rally had to take place in 
the circular brick area outside of 
Gemmell as stated in the universi- 
ty's public demonstration policy. 



"Apparently that is the free 
speech zone," said Alicia 
Shropshire, one of the student 
organizers. 

Prior to the Monday meeting, 
the students gained the approval 
of Dr. Howard McGinn, dean of 
libraries, who told the students 
they could hold the rally in front 
of the library as long as the rally 
didn't become rowdy. 

According to Waple, McGinn 
does not have the authority to 
schedule events outside of the 
library. "He has inside clearance," 
said Waple. 

McGinn was not on campus 



Wednesday and therefore was 
unavailable to comment before Tit 
Clario* GJtt Wednesday night dead- 
line. 

The student organizers, Hillary 
Gates, Joe Sprohar, Heidi 
Niebauer and Alicia Shropshire, 
were upset because they were 
forced to move the rally after 
signs had been posted. 

"We didn't really have an 
option," said Shropshire. 

Sprohar called Waple twice the 
week before the Monday meeting 
with questions pertaining to the 
rally, but never had his calls 
returned.

John Saraza and Special Rick Butler, members of the Army National Guard, 
stood guard outside the New York City Port Authority Bus Termincal 
Saturday, March 22. Guards can be found all over the city in key locations. 



"He said he wasn't able to call 
me back because I didn't leave my 
last name," said Sprohar. "I did 
give him my last name." 

Sprohar said he tried to contact 
Waple so he could follow univer- 
sity policy in planning the rally. 

When Sprohar's calls were not 
returned, organizers decided to go 
forward. 

Rally organizers followed uni- 
versity procedure by having their 
signs approved -by the office of 
operations and scheduling on 
Friday, March 21. 

"There's no policy that exists 
currently that says the event has to 
be approved before the poster is," 
said Waple. "They really aren't 
technically tied together." 
The signs stated the rally would 
be held at noon on Thursday, 
March 27 in front of Carlson 
Library. According to Heidi 
Niebauer, one of the organizers, a 
staff member in the office of oper- 
ations and scheduling told her that 
the office would post the signs 
throughout Gemmell. 

"We don't confirm the informa- 
tion that's on them (the signs)," 
said Bozak. "It's just not a policy 
right now to do that." 

When asked who approves the 
signs, Bozak replied, "I have a 
student that does that." 

Waple and Bozak, were both 
informed of the public demonstra- 
tion policy three weeks ago when 
they received copies of the policy 
from Harry Tripp, vice president 
of student and university affairs. 
Waple was hired in July and 
Bozak was hired in June. 

According to Tripp, the public 
demonstration policy has been in 
effect for the past five years and 
was developed by former Vice 
President of Finance and 
Management Heather 

Haberaecker. 

Tripp said the Gemmell area 
was selected because "it's one of

the most visible places on cam- 
pus" and a "natural amphitheater." 

"There's a natural hillside where 
students can listen to speakers," 
said Tripp. 

Waple said Gemmell was select- 
ed because "it is the furthest place 
from class buildings" and will 
"impede the least amount of peo- 
ple." 

Tripp also said the group did not 
fill out a space request for the 
rally. 

"They (space requests) are not 
only for buildings," said Bozak. 
"They're for all schedulable areas, 
which includes outdoor areas." 

The university policy outlines 
the following requirements for 
public demonstrations: 
A.)Must be scheduled 48 hours in 
advance through the formal 
request process; 

B.)Are restricted to the Gemmell 
outside performance area which is 
designated as the area for such 
events; 

C.)Must be conducted in an order-

Tripp said holding the rally

disrupt the academic atmos- 
phere, which is in violation of

Thursday's reception for new 



Clarion president, Dr. Joseph 
Grunenwald, was held inside 
the library. 

"It certainly could have dis- 
turbed some people who were 
studying," said Dave Tomeo, 
executive director of student

In the past year, two events

"Take Back the Night" rally, 
which was held in front of 
Harvey Hall last semester and 
the Karen Mako vigil, which 
was held behind Becht Hall in 
October. 

"In hindsight those events

Clarion University students respond to war 



by R. Justin Young 
Contributing Writer 



President Bush gave Saddam 
Hussein 48 hours to leave Iraq 
and avoid war on March 17 at 
8 p.m. 

Approximately 50 hours 
later, air raid sirens could be 
heard in Iraq's capital of 
Baghdad. 

Many Americans knew war 
was inevitable long ago, but 
now it is real. The United 
States is at war. About 280,000 
U.S. and British troops have 
started their march into 
Baghdad. 



** 



/ hope the rally gets 
people politically 
involved. §9 

-Joe Sprohar 



How long the war will last is 
anybody's guess. Some say 
two weeks, others guess up to 
six months. It is certain that 
people are going to die on both 
sides, including Iraqi civilians. 
Bush and Secretary of 
Defense Donald Rumsfeld 
have been using press confer- 
ences to speak directly to Iraqi 
troops saying they will have 
every chance to surrender, but 
failure to do so will lead to a 
similar fate as Hussein's. 

The U.S. and British coali- 
tion reported 39 deaths as of 
Tuesday. Iraq had reported 78 
civilians had been killed. 
Rumsfeld estimated that 3,500 
Prisoners of War (POWs) had 
been taken during the first 
week of the war and no one is 
sure of the number of Iraqi sol- 
diers that have been killed, but 
more than 500 is estimated. 



"I don't feel there is any- 
thing called justified killing. 
Killing is wrong," said Hillary 
Gates. "A reality of war is peo- 
ple will be killed." 

The debate can be heard in 
classrooms, restaurants and 
bars of small town America. 
Clarion is no exception. 

Although Ken Herman Jr. 
thinks, "Anyone who didn't 
vote shouldn't get an opinion." 
Similar to the rest of the 
country, Clarion is, if not 
approving the war, accepting 
it. 

"It was time to do some- 
thing," said Chad Bussard. 
"We have been pushed around 
by Saddam for too long." 

In a recent poll 76 percent of 
Americans support the war and 
Bush. That leaves nearly a 
fourth of the country opposed 
to war or about 60 million 
Americans. 

Those who oppose the war 
have been using their 
American right to gather 
peacefully and speak their 
minds. Clarion students, pro- 
fessors and community mem- 
bers will have the opportunity 
Thursday at an organized 
peace rally. 

"I hope the rally gets people 
politically involved," said Joe 
Sprohar, a rally organizer. "I 
hope the people attending 
leave well-informed." 

Many believe not supporting 
the troops is unpatriotic. 

"I can't understand why peo- 
ple don't support their coun- 
try," said Melanie Titus. 

Amanda Rosman agrees. "If 
you don't support our presi- 
dent then you are not being 
patriotic." 

Titus asks a question on 
many people's lips, "Why do 
people have to protest?" 

"It's easy to trust the media," 
said Heidi Niebauer, a rally 
organizer. "The only thing 




people see is a big media." 

Those against the war are 
encouraging others to balance 
their normal news sources with 
sources from other countries or 
at least sources other than net- 
work news. 

"I watched a special on the 
Discovery Channel about the 
last time we were in Iraq," said 
Dawn Jones. "There were bod- 
ies piled on top of bodies. We 
don't see that on our news." 

Both sides have differing 
views on the reason for war. 

According to Gates, a recent 
study reported that "40 percent 
of Americans think that Iraqis 
were on the planes that crashed 
into the World Trade Center 
towers." 

"Just as people supporting 
the war believe Iraq is in 
someway responsible for the 
September 11, 2001 terrorist 
attacks, those opposing the 
war believe the country is 
fighting to take over Iraq's oil 
supply."

By speaking against 
the war it makes us 
look weak. §§ 

-Mayor Smathers 



"I am not happy with this 
war," said Omar Rozier. "We 
are fighting over oil." 

And there are others that 
believe no matter what the rea- 
son for the war, Americans 
should just accept it. 

"I don't know why people 
protest. There is nothing they 
can really do," said Dave 
Schwabenbauer. "Everyone 
should just stay home for some 
TLC." 
Herman has similar feelings. 
"People complain about 



everything. Until there is a 
draft no one should complain," 
said Herman. "They (soldiers) 
are in the military to protest 
our country. If the soldiers did- 
n't want to go to war they did- 
n't have to sign up. We appre- 
ciate it, but that is their job." 

Rozier believes the soldiers 
did not know what they were 
going to war for. "They didn't 
know they were going to risk 
their lives for oil," said Rozier. 

"There is probably an invisi- 
ble agenda to this war," said 
Jon McLaughlin. "But some- 
thing had to be done in Iraq 
and the Middle East in general. 
With that said I don't want the 
blood of innocent women and 
children on my hands." 

The United Nations gave 
Iraq a deadline to destroy all 
weapons of mass destruction. 
The U.S. feels Iraq has not 
complied with these orders. 
The government says this is 
the reason for the war. 

"It's all messed up. We are 
fighting a war that the U.N. 
doesn't agree with, but the rea- 
son we are fighting is because 
Iraq broke U.N. rules," said 
Dawn Jones. 



Those who oppose the war 
want people to know that they 
aren't anti-troop or anti-war. 

"I support the troops and that 
is why I don't want them to 
die," said Sprohar. 

"Kids are seeing people 
killed in front of them," said 
Sher-ree Glover. "Every day 
people are dying. Nobody here 
realizes that. I think about 
them everyday." 

"Now more than ever is a 
time for unity," said Clarion 
Mayor William Smathers. "By 
speaking against the war it 
makes us look weak. (Saddam) 
is probably laughing at us 
when he sees that we aren't 
100 percent behind the 
troops." 

The Department of 
Counseling Services is also 
offering individual counseling 
to assist students in coping 
with the war and support 
groups for anyone concerned 
about a loved one involved in 
the war. 

If you are interested please

Counseling Services at 393- 
2255 or stop in 148 Egbert 
Hall.

Indian children fight for an education 




by Megan Mahoy 
Clarion Call Columnist 

Overpopulation is an increasing 
concern facing our world today. 
India, among other countries, is a 
leader combating this trepidation. 

The consequences of overpop- 
ulation are all too real tor a small 
village in southern India. 

With overpopulation comes 
poverty, malnutrition, limited 
jobs and little to no government 
assistance. 

For many families education 
and hope for a better life are out 
of reach without the assistance of 
non-profit organizations that ofer 
assistance to those with no other 
option. 

In Tamil Nadu, India, children 
of all ages fight for a right many 
take for granted - education. 

At age 18 Nala is learning how 
to read and write. After spending 
12 years in front of a silk loom, 
Nala finally has a chance to 
obtain an education. 

Working throughout India, the 



non-profit charity RIDE works to 
educate children who do not have 
an opportunity to learn in a gov- 
ernment operated school. 

"Many of my students would 
begin the school year, but their 
parents would pull them out half 
way tn work," said Jeyaraj. who 
started RIDE in 1984. "Giving 
children the opportunity to move 
out of the looms is a major step." 
After working in the looms for 
numerous years, many children 
experience health and respiratory 
problems due to lack of ventila- 
tion. Along with respiratory 
problems, children suffer growth 
problems from sitting at the 
looms. 

At the end of a long dirt road 
stands a one room schoolhouse 
that provides education to the 
children who work in the looms. 
These "bridge" schools - transi- 
tion schools between the looms 
and government school - work 
with children between the ages of 
five and 18. The school provides 
children with the basic knowl- 



edge they need to enter a govern- 
ment school or find a job that is 
less labor intensive. Nala and 12- 
year-old Remesh are too old to 
attend the government school. 
However, now with the ability to 
read and write they have hope for 
a better future. 

"My father told me I have to 
stay home and help the family. 
and then I had the opportunity to 
attend this school (the RIDE 
bridge school). Maybe now I can 
work in a silk shop and not work 
in the loom," said Remesh 
through a translator. 

Success is not a word these 
children are very familiar with. 
When they were younger, their 
parents could not offer them an 
education, now with the assis- 
tance from organizations like 
RIDE these children have the 
opportunity to better their lives. 

"Our goal is to break the cycle 
of child labor. We don't offer 
fancy things; we simply offer the 
families an opportunity to better 
their lifestyle," said Jeyaraj.

Keeling health center has a record-setting month 



by Liz Peglow 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



Keeling Heath Center had a 
record-setting month in 
February. 

More than 1300 students were 
seen, the most since the center 
started keeping statistics. 

"This averages out to 65 stu- 
dents a day," says Susan 
Bornak, director of health ser- 
vices. 

The most common ailment stu- 
dents suffered from were upper 
respiratory infections or URIs. 

Approximately 168 students 
were infected. 

Other illnesses reported were 
laryngitis, bronchitis, mono, 
sinus infections and ear infec- 
tions. Approximately 100 stu- 
dents had their education phys- 
icals in February. 

With all the students being 
seen at the health center last 
month, the health center set yet 



another record. 

The heath center is now 
online. By visiting www.clari- 
on.edu/student/healthcenter/ 
students can meet the staff, read 
up on Reeling's policies and 
access the Potty Press. 

"Students really miss the 
Potty Press when they move 
off-campus," says Health 
Educator, Darlene Hartle. 

Keeling Health Center is a full 
service health center. 

According to Hartle, this means 
that the health center can pro- 
vide a student with a variety of 
services. 

For example, dehydrated stu- 
dents can receive IVs and asth- 
ma patients can receive breath- 
ing treatments. 

In addition, the health center 
also offers immunizations such 
as meningitis and flu shots. 
Students can get pregnancy 
tests, mono tests, or throat cul- 
tures as well. 

"Not many schools can do 



The health center is 
willing to help you 
when you need it. 99 

-Karen Nicodemus 



that," says Hartle. 

Antibiotics are also available 
to students. Free samples of dif- 
ferent medications are accessi- 
ble to students whose prescrip- 
tion run out or who need to try 
a certain type of medication. 

The health center offers a 
women's health clinic, which 
involves a gynecological exam 
and 13 months of birth control. 
Condoms and emergency con- 
traception are also offered to 
encourage safe sex. 

"The health center is willing 
to help you when you need it," 
said freshman Karen 



Nicodemus. 

The health center is staffed 
with three part-time physicians, 
two part-time nurse practition- 
ers and one full-time nurse 
practitioner. 

If a student feels more com- 
fortable with a male or female 
doctor or nurse practitioner, the 
health center can accomodate 
this request. 

There are four full-time regis- 
tered nurses, who are all certi- 
fied in college health in addi- 
tion to numerous student work- 
ers and clerks. 

When scheduling an appoint- 
ment at Keeling, it is important 
to keep in mind that an average 
of 65 students are seen daily. To 
get an appointment, call early 
in the day and be flexible. 

If a student needs to cancel an 
appointment for any reason, he 
or she should call at least one 
hour before appointment time. 
Students may be charged a $10 
"no show" fee. 



Any service students receive at 
the health center is kept com- 
pletely confidential. The only 
way personal health care 
records can be shared is with a 
student's approval. 

Students should not be dis- 
couraged from using the health 
center's services for fear of 
their ailments being shared. 

Fees for health center services 
are billed to a student's 
account. This way students do 
not need to worry about having 
the cash on hand when ill. 

Bornak and Hartle add some 
tips for staying healthy when 
sickness is around. 

Students should: wash their 
hands often, do not share drinks 
and try to sleep and eat in a 
healthy manner. 

Keeling's operation hours are 
8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through 
Friday and 1 - 5 p.m. on 
Saturday and Sunday. 

To schedule an appointment 
call 393-2121.

I had lost much 
during my visit to 
New York City. 99 

-Matthew T. May 



O 



EDITORIAL, M. T. MAY 



"Waking Nightmare' 



While the dark world whipped 
passed me, I looked up at the stars 
from the backseat window of a 
Ford Explorer racing along Route 
80 Sunday night. We were 
returning to Clarion from New 
York City, but to me, it felt more 
like running away. 

Every second on the highway, 
we grew further from the soldiers 
with machine guns in Grand 
Central Station, the police offi- 
cers who lined the streets of 
Times Square and the "peaceful" 
protesters who periodically filled 

the streets. 
"This is history, don't let it be a 

mystery," a man showing tourists 

pictures of the World Trade 

Center had repeatedly shouted 

outside the metal fence that sur- 



rounded Ground Zero. I tried to 
let that memory fade into the 
darkness behind us. 

As I stared up at those brilliant 
lights burning billions of miles 
away in the dark heavens above, 
itwasdifficult not to feel. 
Thinking of everything I just 
experienced as a dream was easi- 
er now that we had left. 

Clarion was easy to run to. In 
Clarion, no soldiers awaited our 
arrival with guns in hand; no 
extra police officers lined the 
streets; and isolated protests or 
peace gatherings were merely 
social gatherings. 

No plaque lettered with names 
of victims of terrorist attacks 
hung on a fence outside of where 
two majestic towers once stood. 



The outside world could just be 
a distant dream presented to us in 
full-color on our television and 
computer screens in Clarion. We 
could turn it on or off as we 
pleased or simply pretend nothing 
was happening beyond what we 
could see. 

As I continued to stare at the 
stars, I thought of those who 
couldn't simply pretend that 
world events were just dreams. I 
wondered what they thought 
about as they stared up at those 
specks of light glistening in the 
night sky. 

I had lost much during my visit 
to New York City. My innocence 
about the outside world was just 
one example. 

Looking around the vehicle at 
the vehicle at the tired faces of 
my colleagues, it was obvious we 
couldn't wait just to get back to 
school. The entire experience was 
numbing. I thought that once I 
was in Clarion, everything would 
be all right again. I was wrong. 

As the lights of campus on the 
horizon approached, I realized the 
dream that I had often found 
myself turning on and off with lit- 
tle thought was certainly more 
than just dream. 

It was a nightmare. Moreover, 
it was real no matter where I was.

nication major. 




Letter to the Editor 

Dear Editor, 

Twelve or more Clarionites, 
including the ten concerned 
Clarion University students, a 
teaching professor and a retired 
professor, attended a peace rally 
and a three-hour anti-war protest 
march in Pittsburgh on March 2. 

We joined with many of the 
world's people and their leaders 
who are shocked, troubled and 
angered by a unilateralist 
George W. Bush who presumes 
to rule and dominate much of the 
planet. We oppose his defiant 
insistence on a needless, aggres- 
sive and pre-emptive war (one 
not in response to an attack) on 
Iraq. Actually, air raids have 
been underway for months. 

We, and they, distrust the arro- 
gance of Bush's "axis of evil," 
promises of "endless war," an 
insistence on "regime change" 
and threats to use nuclear 
weapons. He promises peace by 
making war, an old gimmick to 
win support for questionable 
causes. 

Bush's warmongering propa- 
gandists, aided by uncritical, 
corporate controlled mass media 
provide trumped-up threats, 
warnings, alerts, inventions and 
distortions to create fear and sell 
war.

They conjure up non-existent 
evidence but fail to connect 
Saddam Hussein to the terror- 
ists. Nor have they connected 
Saddam to Sept. 1 1 despite des- 
perate shams to do so. 

The Bushites assume Saddam 
has weapons of mass destruc- 
tion. We are constantly threat- 
ened with an imminent attack 
but Professor Richard Falk, 
author of "The Great Terror 
War," says "If eliminating Iraqi 
weapons if Washington's true 
motive for war, only fools would 
abandon the inspection process." 

It has been said by one of our 
retired admirals that "Warrior 
kings impoverish their people 
while pretending concern for 
their people." George W. says he 
is saving us, "protecting the 
nation and the people." He 
believes it is a winning strategy 
to play his "our savior" role and 
guarantee himself another term 
in Al Gore's White House. Then 
too, it discourages doubts, ques- 
tions and opposition. 

A "compassionate conserva- 
tive" was the Bush promise. 
Now his "compassion" will be 
visited on thousands of innocent 
civilian Iraqi men, women and 
children destined to die or suffer 
until death. 

Moreover, the "compassion" 
will be missing on the home 
front as well. Howard Zinn, 
author of "The People's History 
of the United States," has noted 
(January's Progressive) that the 
war "will burn up the money that 
could fix things. White House 
estimates of the war's cost; up to 
$200 billion. Imagine what we 
could do with the $200 billion. 
We could pay 200,000 new 
teachers, police, and firefighters 
salaries for ten years and build 
10,000 new schools." The 
numerous unmet needs of our 
people and the society will be 
sacrificed to war-making. 
Those of us who marched were 
hassled by police at every step. 
TV coverage was typically poor, 
short, quick and devoted to tripe, 
especially Channel 2. 

Bill Moyers just reminded us 
(on PBS's NOW) that "Standing 
up to the government can mean 
standing up for your country." 
War is the real enemy — the ulti- 
mate immorality! 

Sincerely, 
Kenneth F. Emerick

Letter to the Editor 



VFW post collects care packs for troops 



Dear Editor, 

While fighting thousands of 
miles away from Clarion County 
during the Vietnam War, soldier 
Dave DeCorte appreciated the 
care packages he received from 
his hometown Veterans of Foreign 
Wars post. 

So when the pending war with 
Iraq approached its highest levels, 
DeCorte, a post member of the 
Clarion Veterans of Foreign Wars 
Post 2145, approached fellow 
members and ladies auxiliary 



members about care packages for 
those Clarion County residents 
who would give of themselves to 
ensure freedom for another people 
from a leader across the world. 

Members of the post and auxil- 
iary responded and are seeking 
help from Clarion County resi- 
dents. 

Clarion Veterans of Foreign 
Wars Post 2145 and the Ladies 
Auxiliary plan to send care pack- 
ages to Clarion County residents 
who are serving their country in 



the Persian Gulf. 

Joining forces with the VFW are 
Chartwells, Clarion University of 
Pennsylvania's food service

{.IFESTVIES 




MLK Series helps bring history to life 



by Jessica Dandoy 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



"Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. 
Nobody knows, but Jesus." These words 
filled the room through song and set the 
mood for what was to soon be revealed on 
stage. 

The beautiful gospel voice was that of 
dramatist DaisybelleThomas-Quinney who 
was playing Sojourner Truth, a black 
woman and powerful speaker for black 
emancipation and women's rights. 

Sojourner's story was performed at 7:30 
p.m. on March 24 in Hart Chapel. 

Sojourner Truth was born into slavery in 
the year of 1797 by the name of Isabella. 
She lived with her brother and parents on a 
plantation in New York. She told her heart- 
wrenching story from when she was sepa- 
rated from her family and sold as a slave. 

When she was so lonely and beaten 
repeatedly, hate and the wanting of revenge 
began to consume her. 

But Isabella remembered what her moth- 
er told her: "When you got more questions 
than answers, call on the Lord for strength." 

This is what gave Isabella her spirit and 
the courage to go on, no matter how badly 
she was treated. Isabella was uneducated, 
as all women were at the time. Because she 
could not read books, she read people 
instead. 

She felt a calling from God to educate 
people about slavery and how God gave her 



the strength to go on. She knew the world 
would reject her, but she traveled telling her 
story and didn't give up. 

When God called on her, she was given 
the name that we know her by today. 
Sojourner Truth. Sojourner met and helped 
so many people on her journey including 
Harriet Tubman and Abraham Lincoln. 

Sojourner has done so much to make a 
difference during her lifetime and her 
courage and struggle influenced the free- 
doms we enjoy today. 

Thomas-Quinney's performance and por- 
trayal of Sojourner Truth was breathtaking. 
From the moment it began it seemed as if 
she really was this woman instead of just 
acting her part. 

The dramatist was in costume but per- 
formed in spotlight on a bare stage. 
Although there was no set, the performance 
took the audience back in time to experi- 
ence life back then. 

Her rendition of Sojourners struggle 
incorporated song and passages of her 
recorded speeches, including her most 
famous speech, "Ain't I a Woman" which 
was spoken at a women's convention in 
1851. 

The speech was made in response to the 
belief that women need the help of men in 
everything they do. Sojourner suffered and 
no one helped her though she is a woman. 
The speech had a profound impact on 
women's history. 
The performance was put on as part of the 



Martin Luther King, Jr. Series and was per- 
formed by Daisybelle Thomas-Quinney as 
part of her program, "Voices of Triumph." 

Thomas-Quinney founded the program in 
1987 and has performed numerously in 20 
states. It is dedicated to excellence in edu- 
cational entertainment. Not only does the 
dramatist play Sojourner Truth, but other 
influential black women such as Harriet 
Tubman, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune and 
Fannie Lou Hamer. 

The stories of these women are told in a 
way to keep black history alive and to 
inform the audience of the struggles these 
women endured to stand up for their 
beliefs. 

Thomas-Quinney has been educating for 
28 years. She is also a counselor, gospel 
vocalist and minister along with perform- 
ing the dramas of historical black women. 

She now works as Adjust Professor of 
Religion and Director of Multicultural 
Affairs at Thiel College. 

Clarion University's Diversity 
Department named her one of three 
"Women of the Year" for her community 
service. Thomas-Quinney is a true leader in 
her church and community and her charac- 
ter renditions are truly inspiring. 

The purpose of these performances is to 
instill inspiration and motivate people to 
want to be involved in making a difference. 
It encourages and empowers the audience 
to want to be leaders and not be silent about 
issues they are passionate about.

Kuehn teaches students about gender communication 



by Amanda Cackowski 
Clarion Call Assistant Lifestyles Editor 

Led by Dr. Myma Kuehn of the Speech Communication 
Department, the International Association of Business 
Communication sponsored a Gender Communication 
Workshop at 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 20 in a classroom in 
Becker Hall. This organization sponsors workshops that give 
Communication majors the contacts and skills to use before 
and after graduation. 

Kuehn began her presentation by reading a sports article 
from The Derrick. After the oration, she questioned the audi- 
ence on its content. Proving her point, the males, while not 
the majority present in the room, could relay more informa- 
tion regarding the article than the women. This example was 
used to illustrate the societal norms regarding gender that are 



present in the minds of people. 

Kuehn emphasized that gender consists of characteristics 
that are socialized into feminine or masculine. She also sug- 
gested that as a society, we must recognize these social trends 
to avoid stereotypes and to see people as individuals. 

Therefore, Kuehn continued her presentation based upon 
the notion that we must understand the difference of gender 
and with another activity that helped the audience actualize 
the notion that different words hold different connotations 
with difference people. She used the idea of friendship to 
convey this idea. 

So what exactly does friendship mean to different genders? 
Kuehn used audience participation, as she did in much of her 
presentation, to determine the answer to that question. The 
audience concluded that female friendship is based upon a 
few of the following characteristics: loyalty, building tight 



bonds and trust. However, male friendships are based upon 
shared activities, breadth not depth of activities, focused on 
loyalty, but often replaceable. 

Kuehn admitted that these characteristics are generalized, 
but more often than not, they are trends and overall patterns 
that define gender, particularly friendships, within different 
genders. Overall, society holds different expectations for dif- 
ferent relationships. 

She then went on to point out that cross-sex friendships 
offer qualities of .both gender friendships. The characteristics 
include: providing women a release through fun, less intense 
than female to female relationships, gives men emotional 
support, gives men a chance to disclose more, characterized 
by more male talk and men also tend to take on the more 
dominant role.

Movie Review 



You'll need a "Dreamcatcher" after this 



by Brandon Schadle 
Clarion Call Movie Reviewer 

Imagine being part of a unique 
and extraordinary group of peo- 
ple who can communicate with 
each other without so much as 
moving a muscle in the mouth 
and being part of an intergalactic 
power struggle for supremacy 
over human beings on planet 
Earth. 

And if that doesn't sound like 
the stuff dreams are made of, 
imagine hearing about one of 
your friends being killed only to 
see him in a couple of days alive 
and well. These make up the pri- 
mary elements of Steven King's 
latest novel-turned-movie 

"Dreamcatcher." 

Based upon Steven King's 
novel "Dreamcatcher," the movie 
primarily takes place in northern 
Maine during the dead of winter. 
Four friends, played by 
Thomas Jane ("The Sweetest 
Thing"), Jason Lee ("Dogma"), 
Damian Lewis (HBO's "Band of 



Dreamcatcher 



Rating: R 

Runtime: 2 hr. 16 min. 
Grade: 3 stars (out of 4) 



Brothers"), and Timothy 
Olyphant ("Scream 2") befriend 
a mentally challenged boy dur- 
ing their youth and inherit the 
extraordinary gift of telepathy. 

Little do they know that this 
gift is going to be used later on 
in their lives to help save the 
world from an alien invasion of 
earth. 

The movie starts out introduc- 
ing the band of four to us while 
they are immersed in their seem- 
ingly everyday working lives. 

Dr. Henry Devlin (Jane) is a 
psychiatrist struggling with his 
inner demons as well as those of 
his patients. Somehow, Devlin 
comes to the conclusion that his 
life isn't worth the struggle any- 
more and tries to end it all. 
Needless to say, he doesn't fol- 
low through with his personal 
prescription and begins to find 
meaning in his life. 

Jason Lee plays the character 
called Beaver. Although we do 
not discover the origin of his 
nickname, he is an important 
character in that he magically 
foretells the imminent doom to 
which he and his friends are 
about to be succumbed. 

Jonsey, played by Damian 
Lewis, is the most intriguing 
character of the film. Not only

does he seem to be immortal, but 
his "knowledge warehouse," a 
place in his memory where he 
literally stores memories and 
knowledge collected over the 
years and is depicted to us 
throughout the movie, becomes 
extremely important in the focus 
of the storyline. 

Rounding out the band is Pete 
(Olyphant), a character that 
seems to function merely as a 
tag-a-long and sex crazed brute 
more than anything else. 

Together with these four 
unique individuals is their very 
unique comrade Duddits, played 
by Donnie Wahlberg. We are 
introduced to Duddits while he is 
still a young boy, and we keep 
this dream-like vision of him as a 
young boy throughout most of 
the film. 

It is pretty easy to discern that 
Duddits is not from the local 
neighborhood. Rather, we dis- 
cover that he is an alien brought 
to earth for a single purpose: to 
help save the world. 

Directed by Lawrence Kasdan 
("Mumford," "The Big Chill"), 
"Dreamcatcher" is a very typical 
Steve King novel-turned-movie. 
We encounter a lot of gore and 
bloodshed, aliens and the pres- 
ence of supernatural forces at 
work throughout the duration of 
the movie. 

Although Steven King is a 
master storyteller, there were 
some parts and aspects of the 
movie that seem more dreamt up

than actually serving a real pur- 
pose. For instance, the actual 
dreamcatcher does not serve an 
actual purpose in the film. In 
addition, the placement of the 
flashbacks seems to be poorly 
designed and came either too late 
or unexpectedly. 

Those curious quirks about the 
movie are dissolved relatively 
easily in the mass pits of blood 
and gore created by the horren- 
dous attacks of the threatening 
aliens. 

Speaking of the threatening 
aliens, the alien designs seem to 
be more out of a horrific night- 
mare than any pleasant dream. 
Stephen King, however, proba- 
bly thinks the aliens created for

this movie were like the ones he 
sees walking under rainbows and 
holding hands in his dreams. 

Nevertheless, the evil aliens 
created for this movie not only 
have world domination and eat- 
ing humans for supper on their 
minds, they are also very intelli- 
gent and can telepathically com- 
municate with humans. 

Morgan Freeman ("The Sum of 
All Fears") portrays Colonel 
Curtis, a blue army leader who is 
bent on utterly destroying the 
alien menace at all costs. He is 
brought into the scene when he is 
called to quarantine the area 
where our band of heroes decid- 
ed to take their holiday. 

Curtis has been hunting the 
aliens for years and has come to 
the conclusion that any living 
thing that comes in contact with 
the aliens, not to mention the 
aliens themselves, need to be 
eradicated. 

It was disappointing to find 
Freeman not playing a pivotal 
role in this movie, but his pres- 
ence in the movie.makes it all the 
more worth seeing. 

Before heading out to see this 
movie, I must caution you. If 
you do not have a strong stom- 
ach and are prone to bad night- 
mares after seeing gory movies, 
you should probably hold out 
until you can see this on DVD 
and know you have the Pepto 
Bismol to comfort you. 

However, if you like Steven 
King and want to see an over- 
abundance of blood, gore and 
mayhem, then this is a perfect 
mo\ ie foi vou.

UAB's "Animal Show" a wild experience 



by Jeannette Good 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

Why bring an animal show to 
Clarion University? 

"It was extremely interesting to 
experience animals first hand that 
you wouldn't see in every day 
life," sophomore Julie Rodgers 
said. 

UAB presented Animal Show 
with Bill Hoffman at 8 p.m. on 
March 19, in Gemmell Multi- 
purpose Room. Approximately 
60 people attended, ranging from 
Clarion University students and 
staff to children and community 
members, to see and meet 
Hoffman's nine animals. 

Bill Hoffman specializes in ani- 
mal rentals for film and petting 
zoos. In fact, he held the ground- 
hog up in the movie "Groundhog 
Day." He has done numerous 
commercials and appearances 
while obviously traveling around 
the world. For this show, 
Hoffman presented nine of his 
trained animals and told about 
each one. 

Keeping the show a reasonable 
length, Hoffman gave the audi- 



ence an opportunity to observe 
and learn about exotic animals. 

Chi-Chi the Chinchilla was the 
first animal Hoffman shared. This 
rodent has the world's softest fur. 

Hoffman brought along Mirage 
the Fenick Fox. It is the world's 
smallest wild canine and lives in 
the Sahara Desert. Mirage looks 
somewhat like a Chihuahua with a 
small, tan body and large, tall 
ears. 

Although the next creature can 
fit in the palm of a hand, most 
people tend not to hold them. 
Hoffman presented a Madagascar 
hissing cockroach. The television 
show "Fear Factor" uses these for 
challenges, usually eating. The 
Madagascar hissing cockroach 
ma hissing noises. 

Jesse James looks liked a cute 
kitten, but he is really a nine- 
month-old goffroy cat and a true 
hunter. Goffroy cats are the 
smallest of the spotted cats and 
mostly live in the cocaine fields of 
Bolivia. 

Vinny, a king vulture, was the 
most beautiful of vultures. He 
showed off his black and white 
wingspan and baldhead. King 



vultures are also the third largest 
vulture in the Americas and live in 
jungles. 

Showtime really made some 
people nervous. It made the ani- 
mals nervous as well. 

Perce, a baby American alliga- 
tor, urinated upon leaving his 
cage. He later fell asleep on his 
back, as Hoffman's assistant 
rubbed underneath Perce's neck. 

Cuddles sent a swarm from the 
audience running to the hallway 
as Hoffman's assistant revealed a 
mildly poisonous tarantula. 

Another shocker was Casper, an 
albino burmese python. 
Psychology major Tiffany 
Hardeman walked Casper around 
the room holding the snake. 

"I feel very at home with hold- 
ing the snake because I own two 
of them, and they are very reward- 
ing pets," Hardeman commented 
afterward. 

Mr. Adam Monk, a 31 -year-old, 
monkey ended the program. Mr. 
Monk had spent 29 years of his 
life with Bill Hoffman. Wearing 
dress clothes, the monkey was 
happy to be held and greeted. The 
crowd definitely favored Mr. 



Monk. was entertaining to see so many

Kuehnl Students learn about genders, from Page 8. 



Kuehn continued her presentation 
with the idea that these gender roles 
are culturally defined and usually 
based upon context and interaction. 
The source of miscommunication 
always comes about and is usually 
present due to a method of socializ- 
ing someone in a way that they see 
not withstanding of his or her own 
personal socializations. 

Kuehn used the example that 
both sexes expect the women to 
maintain relationships. The source 
of this conflict is the misinterpreta- 
tion of gender roles. 

Usually this is a source for mis- 
communication and conflict 
between gender roles. 

According to Kuehn, to resolve 
tensions, the parties must recognize 
that men and women are different 
and accept it in order to relieve ten- 
sion. They must find a way to com- 
municate and compromise and also 
recognize that different genders 
have different approaches to issues. 
There is a give and take and mutual 



respect that must occur in relation- 
ships to avoid conflicts. Both indi- 
viduals must use the strengths and 
weaknesses of each partner to their 
advantage and work together for a 
common goal. 

While a large scale of students 
were in attendance, many were pre- 
sent because of a class assignment. 
However, freshman elementary 
education/special education major 
Sara Altimus, who was present for a 
human relations class, noted, "I 
thought it was interesting. I didn't 
learn a lot of new information, but it 
did reinforce what I have been 
learning in my class." 

Nevertheless, senior communica- 
tion major Becca Missenda 
summed the workshop by saying, 
"Dr. Kuehn put dealing with the 
opposite sex in terms that we under- 
stood. We always knew that there 
were differences, but the presenta- 
tion made some realize why there 
are differences and reasons that 
those differences exist."

80 *s style has a 

great deal of 

influence here. 99 

-Pat Hannay 



FASHION COLUMNIST, PAT HANNAY 



Back again is your fairy godfa- 
ther of style. In this installment, 
we are going to talk about some- 
thing near and dear to my heart: 
club and party style. Duck and 
cover, this one is going to be big. 

First and foremost this is an 
enormous range of fashion. Some 
people think crazy raver style 
clothing is "club" wear. I beg to 
differ. 

In my opinion, club or party 
gear should be treated as a more 
extreme version of what you nor- 
mally like to wear. Individual 
styles can range from wild and 
extreme like ravers to smooth and 
low key like R&B/rock style. 

My personal gear follows more 
closely to the exciting flashy look 
of techno-pop clubbers. It's 
clique, but think of how N'Sync 



'Club Style" 

looked in their "Dirty Pop" video. 
This kind of look can be for guys 
or girls. 

Good ideas come from vintage 
stores or even the thrift store. The 
key to this uber-trendy yet indi- 
vidualistic look is lots and lots of 
mix and match. Stick with bright 
loud colors and lots of acces- 
sories. 

This is going to sound horrible, 
but 80's style has a good deal of 
influence here. Before you all run 
screaming at the mention of the 
80's, realize that retro fashion is 
never the exact incarnation of 
what it was. It's always a variant 
on that style or an update of it. 

Got an outgoing, upbeat, or 
exciting personality? Then get 
your dirty pop on and work that 
flash. 



Not so outlandish or loud? 
That's cool - think more low key 
stylized and classy. I like to think 
of looks like this along the lines 
of R&B and to a lesser degree - 
rock. Smooth and cool is the way 
to go here. 

The big rule is staying away 
from bright loud colors, there's 
nothing smooth about hot pink or 
electric blue. Earth tones, black 
and white, and shadowed colors 
are the mainstays. A good model 
for this style for the guys would 
be Jon Bon Jovi. No matter what 
this man is wearing he manages to 
make it look cool without being 
extreme. 

Girls, look to Ashanti and Mary 
J. Blige for clothing tips here. 
Aside from being beautiful, they 
always looks sexy and classy in 
their toned-down, relaxed but 
impressive threads. 

Guys, find some sleeveless tees, 
slim cut pants, and arm/wristband 
accessories. Girls, relax the hair, 
stick to loose flowy tops, and 
keep your makeup light and mild. 
Keep it cool and you'll have peo- 
ple green with envy at your slick 
style. 

Rap and hip-hop have one of the 
most enormous footholds in fash- 
ion in the world today. Half of the 
brands are the property of these 
talented lyrical artists. And with 
good reason ! 



Some brands that I've seen and 
liked are RocaWear, Johnny Blaze 
and Enyce. I think the best way to 
describe the guy look here is 
urban class. It's rough and tough 
but with an air of sophistication. 

For the ladies, this look can be 
almost as extreme as techno-pop 
but with more emphasis on class 
than outright flash. 

One blast from the past article of 
clothing that can make a ten star 
statement for you guys is a pair of 
baggy overalls. Just don't fasten 
both straps. You don't want to 
look country, do you? 

Caps, bandannas and beanie 



caps are a must. You'll look 
incomplete without some kind o\' 
lid on your head, boys. 

Ladies, took to Eve or Lil' Kim 
for some pointers -just don't let 
your breast hang out of your 
dress. Girls can do so much with 
this it's not even funny. Mix and 
match rules supreme here. Don't 
be afraid to show a little skin 
either, but know when too much 
is too much. 

Hope, I gave you some good 
tips this swing around. Don't for- 
get to put them to good use when 
and wherever you get your party 
on.

"We finished the fall sea- 
son strong, everyone was 
playing pretty well. 

Hopefully we can keep that 
momentum going," said 
Head Coach Lori Sabatose. 

Jen Spaid is the only per- 
son on the team that will not 
be returning for this season's 
matches. 

Leading the way for the 
Golden Eagles will be senior 
Cara Bobish at the #1 posi- 
tion. 

Bobish has been in the #1 
or #2 position her four years 
here at Clarion. Her record 
for the fall was 2-3 for in 
singles and 1-4 for in dou- 
bles. 

"She shows a lot of 
strength. She is a powerful, 
intense player. She is able 
use her power in all of her 
shots," said Sabatose. 



Freshman Amanda 
Brothers will take the #2 
spot on the team. 

Coach Lori Sabatose said 
that Brothers has improved 
over the year and had a three 
set win to end her fall sea- 
son. 

Freshman Ashley Rhodes 
will take the number 3 slot 
this season. Her fall record 
was 1-4 for the fall season. 

Twin sisters and spring 
season team captains Brooke 
and Brandy Vukich will take 
the #4 and #5 slots for the 
Lady Eagle tennis team. 

Brooke Vukich's fall 
record was 2-3 while Brandy 
Vukich comes off a fall 
record of 2-3 also. 

"Brooke is a very talented 
player. She is a good, solid 
overall player. She has more 
confidence in her game, and 



her serve has improved. With 
Brandy, she is a very deter- 
mined player. She hates to 
lose and does everything she 
can to earn a win. Her games 
have long volleys that lead 
to lot of three-set matches," 
said Sabatose of the twin sis- 
ters. 

At the #6 position will be 
sophomore Jessica Lowden. 
Seniors Rebecca Emert and 
Lynn Pinkerton will round 
out the team's roster. 

In doubles action this 
spring, Cara Bobish and 
Amanda Brothers will pair 
up in the #1 position. 

As for the #2 and #3 posi- 
tions for doubles this spring, 
that is yet to be determined. 

Clarion's first home match 
will be against Edinboro on 
April 4. Match time is set 
for 3:30 p.m.

CU Track and Field teams heads 
down south to start season 



by Julie Evenoski 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 



With the sight of sprint- 
ers, hurdlers, discus and 
javelin throwers down at 
Memorial Stadium, it can 
only mean one thing... the 
start of the 2003 track and 
field season. 

Clarion's women's team 
returns one NCAA qualifi- 
er, six PSAC place winners 
and nine PSAC qualifiers 
from last season's team. 

The men return six 
PSAC qualifiers from last 
season's team including one 
All-PSAC runner, senior 
Gerald Smiht 

The Clarion University 
Track and Field team 
opened their outdoor season 
with a trip to Myrtle Beach, 
South Carolina this past 
weekend. 

The team competed at the 
Coastal Carolina University 
Invitational. Ten athletes 
qualified for the 2003 out- 
door PSAC championships. 
The competition at the 
meet was stiff. Princeton 
and the University of 
Massachusetts were there 
as well as 18 other 
schools.. 

In the running events, 
Mel Terwilliger broke her 
own school record in the 
5,000 meter run with a time 
of 18:08. 

She finished 2nd in this 
event. Katie Jarzab was 
right behind her in the 
5,000 with a 3rd place fin- 
ish with a time of 18:31. 

Evelyn Abiola finished 
8th in the 800 metei; run 
with a time of 2:24.32. 
Bridget Sardo and Missy 
Harkins finished 7th and 
8th respectively in the 
3,000-meter steeplechase. 

The throwing events went 
extremely well. Four 

women javelin throwers 
placed in the top eight. 

Jessica Crouch won the 
javelin with a distance of 
127 feet and 4 inches. 
Julie Evenoski placed 2nd 
with a distance of 124-07. 
Carrie Bullman finished 



fourth with a toss of 123- 
11. 

These were all PSAC 
q u a 1 i tying marks. Gail 
Hepler rounded out the 
spectacular javelin throw- 
ing finish with 8th place 
with 114-01. 

In the shot put, Evenoski 
placed 7th with a throw of 
39-01. Jennifer Klock fin- 
ished right behind her with 
a throw of 38-04 for 8th 
place. 

On the men's side, Jerry 
Smith had a great 6th place 
finish in the 800-meter run 
with a time of 1:58.39. 

Freshman Dan Alderton 
finished 11th in both the 
100 and 200 meter dash 
with PSAC qualifying times 
of 11.07 and 22.31. 

Dave Duriancik had a 
10th place finish in the 
3,000-meter steeplechase 
with a time of 10:04.86. 

In the throwing events, 
senior John Krol threw 129- 
03 in the discus and fin- 
ished 11th. Andy Croll 
and Rick Reese threw the 
javelin and placed 12th and 
1 3th respectively. 

This weekend the team 
opens up with the Early 
Bird meet at the Clarion 
University Memorial 

Stadium. 

"We are once again excit- 
ed to be hosting what 
should be a quality early. 
Usually this meet kicks off 
the outdoor season, but we 
moved it back a week hop- 
ing for better weather," 
said head coach Pat 
Mooney. 

There will be seven teams 
competing this weekend 
and the athletes are looking 
forward to setting personal 
records, as well as adding 
PSAC qualifiers to the list. 
The Early Bird is the first 
home meet of the season 
and begins at 1 1 a.m. 

Both teams finished last 
season with 7-1 tri- and 
quad-meet records. The 
men's team also finished 
11th at PSAC's, while the 
women's team was 7th.

Arizona State fifth with 65. 

Clarion finished in 26th place scoring 22 
points with only four wrestlers qualifying 
for nationals. 

Rad Martinez soared to a fifth place finish 
at 133-pounds while posting an impressive 
4-2 record, and John Testa placed eighth at 
heavyweight while going 3-3. 

Also wrestling at the NCAA's for Clarion 
were Eric Mausser at 197 and Frank Edgar. 
Mausser posted 3-2 and narrowly missed an 
All-America placing while Edgar was 0-2. 

"I thought our guys showed they were well 
prepared and wrestled a good tournament," 



said Clarion's sixth year head coach Ken 
Nellis. "I was very pleased with our perfor- 
mance." 

Martinez entered the tournament unseed- 
ed, but that didn't deter the Golden Eagle 
senior from coming within one point of 
going to the finals. In the opening round 
Martinez scored a major decision over 
Oregon's Jason Harless 9-0. 

In round two Martinez posted a 5-2 deci- 
sion over Evan Sola of North Carolina, then 
in the quarterfinals he notched an impressive 
8-3 win over WVU's Brandon Lauer. In the 
semi's Martinez faced #1 seed Johnny 
Thompson of Oklahoma State. 

Leading Thompson 2-1 in the third period 
after scoring a reversal, Martinez rode the 
eventual NCAA Champ until a controversial 
stalling call tied the score at 2-2 with 23 sec- 
onds remaining. 

Thompson scored an escape with 10 sec- 
onds remaining to win the bout 3-2. 
Martinez lost to Penn State's Josh Moore 10- 
3 in the wrestle backs, but rebounded with a 
strong 4-0 win over Iowa's #2 seed Cliff 
Moore to take fifth place. 

Rad, who became Clarion's 41st D-I All- 
American, finished the season with a 41-10 



overall record, the fourth winningest season 
in school history. 

Also winning the PSAC title this season 
and placing third at EWL's, Rad upped his 
career record to 98-27. 

Testa, also a senior, earned his All-America 
honors with a 3-3 NCAA record. Seeded #9, 
John opened the tournament with an 8-4 win 
over Tomas Rodriguez (Kent State), then 
defeated #8 seed Garrett Lowney 
(Minnesota) 7-3. 

In the quarterfinals Testa met #1 seed 
Steve Mocco of Iowa and lost 7-1. In the 
All-America wrestle back round Testa 
scored a convincing 15-5 major decision 
over #10 seed Paul Hynek (Northern Iowa) 
before losing 12-4 to Boise State's Boe 
Rushton and 8-6 to Pennsylvania's Matt 
Feast to end his season with an 8th place 
nationals finish. 

Testa finished his season with a 43-5 over- 
all record and tied Mark Angle for the sec- 
ond best single season win total behind Mike 
Cole's 48 wins in 1989. 

Testa also won EWL and PSAC titles this 
season and was selected to the NWCA All- 
Star match to establish himself as one of the 
top heavyweights. He became only the 12th 



wrestler in PSAC history and the first heavy- 
weight to win four titles. 

He finished his Clarion career with an 
overall record of 134-29 and ranks third in 
career wins behind Wade Schalles (153-5-1; 
1970-74) and Mike Cole (150-31-2; 1984- 
89). 

Mausser, also a senior, again narrowly 
missed earning All-America status at the 
NCAA's at 197-pounds. Unseeded, Mausser 
drew #2 seed Muhammad Lawal (Ok. St.) 
and lost 13-3. In the wrestle backs Mausser 
defeated Greg Sawyer (Rider) 6-0, Chris 
Jones of (Drexel) 5-0 and Anton Talamantes 
(Ohio State) medical forfeit. 

In his next match he lost to Marcio Botelho 
(Boise State) 9-6 to end his career. Mausser 
was 37-9 in 2003, was 3-2 at the NCAA's, 
placed third at EWL's and third at PSAC's. 
Edgar, a sophomore, went to the NCAA's 
for his second time and was 0-2. In the open- 
ing round he drew #4 seed Jason Mester 
(Central Michigan) and lost a hard fought 3- 
2 decision. In the wrestle backs he lost a 5-3 
decision to Ron Tarquinio (Pitt). 

Frank ended his season with a strong 26- 
18 overall record, a 4th palce finish at 
EWL's and 5th at PSAC's.

Swimmers and Divers make a big splash at NCAA's 



by Bethany Bankovich 
Clarion Call Circulation Manager 

15 swimmers and divers returned from the 
NCAA Division II Championships with a 
multitude of awards and honors. 

Eight women and seven men represented 
Clarion at the event held March 12-15 at The 
University of North Dakota. 

The following athletes earned All-American 
honors during the event, by placing among the 
top sixteen: Aaron Bell, Ben Chandlee, Shawn 
Colten, Beau Caldwell, Ray Murray, Jimmy 
McGee, Bill Wright, Missy Baer, Bethany 
Bankovich, Kim Perez, Abby Starsinic, 
Megan Trimbur, Bethany Turse and Jessica 
Waldman. 

Erin Cooper also qualified for the meet and 
competed in the preliminaries on Tuesday, 
March 11. 

The Golden Eagle diving team gave another 
outstanding performance during the event, 
with Colten winning both one and three-meter 
boards. 

Murray closely followed taking second on 
three-meter and ninth on one, while McGee 
claimed points with a fifth place finish on 
three, and a fourth on the one-meter. 

The men's solid performance paid off once 
again, with Colten taking the men's "Diver of 
the Year" award, and Coach Dave Hrovat won 
the men's "Diving Coach of the Year" award 
as well.

Kim Perez led the Golden Eagle women 
with a sixth place finish on the one-meter and 
an eleventh on three, while Jess Waldman took 
seventh on three-meter and tenth on one- 
meter. 

Clarion's swimming team also managed to 
pull out some fast times and great swims dur- 
ing the four-day-long competition. 

Megan Trimbur set the stage for the Golden 
Eagle women with a sixth place finish in the 
200 freestyle and a ninth place finish in the 
500 freestyle. 



Trimbur also took fourteenth in the 50 free, 
and was part of the tenth place 200 medley 
relay, ninth place 200 free relay, and the sixth 
place 400 free relay. 

Bethany Bankovich also claimed several fin- 
ishes in the top sixteen, with a fourth in the 
200 fly and thirteenth in the 100 fly. 

She also competed in the 200 medley relay, 
400 free relay, the eleventh place 800 freestyle 
relay and the fifteenth place 400 medley relay. 
Missy Baer scored points in the 1650 freestyle 
with a thirteenth place finish, and was part of 



the 200 freestyle relay. 

Bethany Turse and Abby Starsinic claimed 
their positions in the relays, earning All- 
American honors in every race. 

The Golden Eagle men also placed several 
members in the finals during the competition, 
and witnessed the smashing of several school 
records. 

Aaron Bell led the Clarion men with two 
"top eight" finishes. Bell took fourth in the 200 
back and seventh in the 100 back, both in 
which he broke his own school records. 

Ben Chandlee made an impressive "top 
eight" finish in the 100 breaststroke, taking 
fourth and breaking his own school record that 
he set at PSAC's. 

These two teamed up with Bill Wright and 
Beau Caldwell to compete in every relay. 

The men placed eleventh in the 400 medley 
relay, thirteenth in the 200 and 400 freestyle 
relays, and fifteenth in the 800 freestyle relay. 

For several of the Golden Eagle athletes, 
NCAA's served as the final meet of their col- 
lege careers. 

This year, these seven NCAA qualifiers will 
have either completed their four years of eligi- 
bility or graduate at the end of this semester: 
Ben Chandlee, Shawn Colten, Jimmy McGee, 
Bill Wright, Missy Baer, Kim Perez and 
Jessica Waldman. 

These athletes have left their marks in the 
realm of Clarion athletics and academics. 
They will be greatly missed by all.

Bomb threat foun 



by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

The fourth bomb threat in 
almost two months was found at 
9:30 a.m. April 1 in a women's 
restroom in Stevens Hall. 
Clarion University Public 
Safety is investigating the pos- 
sibility that the threat is linked 
to threats that were issued Feb. 
13 and Feb. 20. 

Tuesday's threat, which was 
found on a door, made reference 
to Stevens Hall, Davis Hall and 
the Gemmell Student Complex. 



Director of Public Safety 
Dave Tedjeske said Public 
Safety conducted a visual 
search in the referenced build- 
ings and found nothing. Public 
Safety is "in touch with the fed- 
eral authorities," he added. 

Two threats were made Feb. 
20 with the first being found in 
a Stevens Hall restroom. The 
threat made reference to 
Stevens Hall and Marwick- 
Boyd Fine Arts buildings. 

Also on Feb. 20, a threat was 
found on a restroom wall in 
Tippin Gymnasium indicating a 



bomb might have been located 
in the building. 

The first of the bomb threats 
came Feb. 13 when a student 
found a threat in a men's 
restroom located near the 
Gemmell snack bar. This partic- 
ular threat didn't make refer- 
ence to any specific building but 
mentioned the date Feb. 20. 

"There are certainly some 
similarities. We are looking into 
the possibility that they are 
linked," said Tedjeske. 

Tedjeske said a witness told 
Public Safety that the threat 




Prisoners of war 



— 




wasn't on the door at 8:30 a.m. 
A group of students reported the 
threat was there at 9:30 a.m. 

Tedjeske wouldn't comment 
on possible suspects or whether 
class lists were being used to aid 
in the investigation. 

Tedjeske also said he doesn't 
believe there is a link between 
Tuesday's threat and April 
Fool's Day, although he said 
wouldn't rule it out as possiblity 
for a hoax. 

"It has been our practice to 
continue daily operations in 
these types of situations and not 
give undo recognition to people 
who write threats on restroom 
walls," said Ron Wilshire, assis- 
tant vice president of student 
and university relations.

Burglaries in residence halls

Marines from the 1st Marines Division take Iraqi prisoners Tuesday April 1, 
2003, as the troops advance north Kut Al Hayy, Iraq. 



by Chrissy Median 
Clarion Call News Editor 

A string of burglaries have 
been occurring in Campbell Hall 
during holiday breaks. 

According to Dave Tedjeske, 
director of public safety, five bur- 
glaries occurred over Christmas 
break. 

As stated in the January police 
blotter, unknown person(s) broke 
into a Campbell Hall residence 
and removed a Hewlett Packard 
scanner on Jan. 20. 

Two burglaries occurred on 
Jan. 19, in which an unknown 
person(s) removed DVD players 
from two residents' rooms. 

Also on Jan. 19, resident Roy 
Martin reported that an unknown 
person(s) entered his room and 
stole a computer. 

"I came back to my room and it 
was gone," said Martin. 

All the victims claim their 
doors were locked at the time of 



the burglaries. 

"There was some evidence that 
the locks were tampered with," 
said Tedjeske. However, "they 
could have been tampered with 
some time ago." Tedjeske said 
the locks were not broken. 

"The way they had it (the lock) 
set up it was broken," said 
Martin. "I got a new lock." 

Five locks were changed due 
to tampering said Brian Hoover, 
area coordinator of Campbell 
Hall. 

The burglaries happened on the 
second, third and fourth floors of 
the hall said Tedjeske. 

The blotter also states the card 
entry system at the main entrance 
to Campbell Hall was damaged 
on Jan. 15. 

Students who cannot go home 
for breaks stay in Campbell Hall, 
such as athletes and international 
students. 

According to Hoover, roughly

The following is a brief synopsis of criminal 
investigations conducted by Public Safety for the 
months of March and April. All information was 
found on the Public Safety web page. 

* University Police were conducting a traffic stop on Page 
Street on March 30 when they stopped Marissa Zabala, 
18, of 1500F Robinwood Drive, Clarion, Pa. at approxi- 
mately 2:07 a.m. Officers detected a very strong odor of 
alcoholic beverage coming from the passenger. Zabala 
was cited for Underage Consumption. 

*At approximately 12:35 a.m. on March 29, University 
Police observed Jason Decker, 21, of 210 Mill Street, 
Johnsonburg, Pa., walking on the sidewalk area by 
Carlson library and Becht Hall. Decker was found to be 
intoxicated and was cited for Public Drunkeness. 

* Under investigation are the receiving of harrassing phone 
calls on the second floor of Becht Hall on March 25. 

♦University Police served Andrew Papay, 19, of 1 1 1 
Wilkinson Hall, a warrant and arrested him on April 2 for 
failure to respond to summons on incidents from the fall 
2002 semester. 

*A bomb threat was found in a restroom wall in Stevens 
Hall on April 1 . The investigation is continuing. 

♦University Police are investigating a report of a known 
individual harassing two residents of Nair Hall on March 
3 1 . The individual also committed a defiant trespass. 
Charges are pending further investigation. 

♦Richard Geist, 26, of 1117 Staab Road, Strattanville, Pa., 
was arrested by University Police on a warrant from 
Magistrate Lapinto for failing to respond to the magistrate 
on a charge of harassment issued on an earlier date.

25-30 students lived in the hall 
during Christmas break. 

"Anyone approved for break 
housing can come and go as they 
please," said Hoover. 

"We have some leads that we are 
actively pursuing," said Tedjeske. 
"There are one or two individuals 
that we are looking into. I would- 
n't go as far as to call them sus- 
pects." 

"The investigation has a specif- 
ic direction," said Tedjeske. 
"Within the next three weeks 
we'll either know if charges will 
be filed or if the cases will be 
closed." 

He added that the burglar(s) 
mostly took electronic devices 
and left other items of value and 
that the rooms were not "turned 
upside down." 

The bulk of the investigation 
is interviews said Tedjeske. Public 
safety is researching who lived on 



over the break. 

"What makes breaks problemat- 
ic is that not everything is closed," 
said Tedjeske. "The long time- 
frame makes it difficult to investi- 
gate." 

Two burglaries occurred during 
this semester's winter break. The 
March safety blotter states one 
burglary took place on the second 
floor of Campbell Hall between 
Feb. 28 and March 11. 

Taken from the room was a 
stereo system valued at $210, 75 
CDs valued at $350, six DVDs 
valued at $20 each and six Play 
Station 2 games valued at $50 
each. 

A resident reported the theft of 
cash and a watch on March 5. 

According to Tedjeske, a male 
knocked on the resident's door 
claiming that people were chasing 
the male. The resident then left 
the room to see what the problem 



returned the cash and watch were 
gone. 

Hoover reminds students living 
in residence halls to lock their 
doors at night and to follow the 
escort policy. 

"For all we know it could be 
someone who lives right here," 
said Hoover. 

Public safety is investigating the 
burglaries. 

The March blotter additionally 
states a theft occurred in the laun- 
dry room of Campbell Hall on 
March 28 at approximately 8:50 
p.m. 

Unknown individual(s) removed 
clothing valued at $190 from a 
washer. 

Harry Tripp, vice president of 
student and university affairs, 
advises students to keep track of 
their valuables. 

"We strongly encourage stu- 
dents take any valuable posses- 



each floor as well as examining was. Nothing was seen out of the sions home with them 
work orders that were completed ordinary and when the resident break)," said Tripp.

State System approves new common calendar 



by Denise Carter 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

The State System of Higher 
Education (SSHE) has 
approved a new academic cal- 
endar for all 14 State System 
schools, which will allow stu- 
dents to share the same spring 
break. 

According to the SSHE web- 
site, all classes at the 14 uni- 
versities will begin and end on 
the same date beginning fall 
2003. 

The fall semester will begin 
Aug. 25 and conclude Dec. 13 
with finals occurring Dec. 8- 
13. The spring semester will 
run from Jan. 12-May 8. Finals 
will take place May 3-8. 

Spring break will be from 



March 6 to March 13. Clarion's 
current spring break starts 
April 18 and ends April 21. 

Many students like the idea 
of a common academic calen- 
dar. 

"It would be nice to actually 
have spring break at the right 
time," said Ryan Forsythe, a 
freshman business marketing 
major. 

Current spring breaks starts 
as early as Feb. 28 and as late 
as March 24. 

"I love that idea. I think that 
spring break should be at a dif- 
ferent time instead of over 
Easter break," said Nikki 
Quattrone, a junior elementary 
education major. 

"When we have spring breaks 
at different times, it makes it 



difficult to have joint programs 
especially since there are many 
collaborative programs 

between schools like Edinboro, 
Slippery Rock and Clarion 
University," said Ken 
Marshall, spokesperson for the 
SSHE. 

Clarion, Edinboro and 
Slippery Rock Universities 
participate in a joint graduate 
program for students pursuing 
a master of science and nurs- 
ing. 

Dr. Mary Kavoosi is the 
director and chair of the pro- 
gram. She explains that there 
are currently six sites for stu- 
dents to take classes. 

"The sites rotate on where 
the students reside," said 
Kavoosi. 



It would be really 
nice to actually have 
spring break at the 
right time. 99 

-Ryan Forsythe 



Classes can be taken over the 
Internet, through interactive 
television and face to face. 

Kavoosi added that the new 
calendar will impact start and 
finish times as well as break 
periods. 

"The students follow the 
schedule that the faculty of the 
employing institution follow," 
said Kavoosi. 



Rashelle Karp, associate aca- 
demic vice president said, "It's 
beneficial to the students 
because it (calendar) allows us 
to collaborate with other uni- 
versities to provide more pro- 
jects and more courses for stu- 
dents." 

Karp added that Clarion stu- 
dents are sharing German and 
Russian courses with other 
universities, which will be 
much easier with a common 
calendar. 

The Pennsylvania state uni- 
versities affected by the new 
calendar are Clarion, Indiana, 
Edinboro, California, 

Millersville, Cheyney, East 
Stroudsburg, Bloomsburg, 
Lock Haven, Mansfield and 
Shippensburg Universities.

* More than lOapet^e 'garnered 
in Gemmell square last Thursday 
to protest the war with Iraq. 

Several students wore black 
armbands, masks and t-shirts 
protesting war while others dis- 
played peace signs and flowers 
on jean jackets and dresses. 

Participants carried signs stat- 
ing "Let this be the last war," 
"What would Mr. Rogers Do," 
and "Support our troops, bring 
them home now." 

Speakers also addressed the 
crowd throughout the afternoon. 
Hillary Gates, one of the rally 
organizers, expressed her opin- 
ions to the many who gathered on 
the hilltop to show their support. 
"It's (war) not anything to be 
celebrated," said Gates. "I 
encourage everyone to stand up 
and do something about this war."

speech with help from the audi- 
ence.

'Now"' answered the crowd. 
"We are being blinded by a flag 
of patriotism," said Troese. "We 
need to wake up and realize this 
is our time." 

Faculty members also partici- 
pated in the rally. 

Dr. Patrick McGreevy of the 
anthropology, geography and 
earth science department spoke. 

"I came out because I think 
Americans are so misinformed 
about the war," said McGreevy. 
"We are a very isolated country." 

Information was available about 
alternative news sites and major 
myths of Iraq. 

Dr. Pierre Fortis of the modern 
languages department also 
addressed the audience. 

"Some of my students are fight- 
ing in Iraq," said Fortis. "I think 
the university is the place for a 
peace rally. In the word universi- 
ty you have universe." 

Fortis' wife Marie, read poetry. 
Dr. Rourke of the political sci- 
ence, sociology and philosophy 



department and Dr. Philip 
Terman of the English depart- 
ment read quotes aloud. Kevin 
Yenerall of the P.S.S.P. depart- 
ment and Elisabeth Donato of the 
modern languages department 
also spoke. 

Students, faculty and communi- 
ty members clearly wanted their 
message to be heard - no war. 

"I have friends and family over 
there (Iraq), I want them to come 
back alive," said Leah Burnette, a 
third year sociology and psychol- 
ogy major. 

"Obviously something needs to 
be done," said Ed Marshall a 
community member. 

Staff members agree that the 
rally went well. 

"I think the group did a very 
good job of organizing the rally," 
said Harry Tripp, vice president 
of student and university affairs. 
"I think it's great that our stu- 
dents are becoming activists," 
said Jeffrey Waple, director of the 
Office of Campus Life. "That's 
the purpose of higher education."

Clarion students, facuty and staff as well as community 
members participated in a peace rally in Gemmell square 
last Thursday. More than 100 people turned out for the 
event. 



"I think it went fairly well," 
said Gates. "I hope people 
learned something about the war. 
I found that I have a plethora of 
information that I can give them 
(students) about the war." 

"Felix," a sophomore environ- 
mental biology major, enjoyed 
the rally. 

"I thought it was nice here up 



on the hill, said Felix." 

Shawn Hoke, assistant director 
of campus life was impressed by 
the rally. 

"In all my years at Clarion both 
as a student and staff member, I 
don't recall seeing a rally of that 
nature," said Hoke. "I thought it 
was very orderly and was well 
done."

Clarion Dance Marathon becomes a recognized student organization 



by Lisa Covington 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

The Clarion Dance Marathon 
was recognized as a student orga- 
nization at the March 17 student 
senate meeting. 

Senators unanimously 
approved the decision in a vote of 
18-0-0. 

Members of the marathon will 
hold a 36-hour dance marathon 
once a year to raise money for 
children with pediatric cancer at 
Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. 

Accoring to Casey Jericho, a 
junior elementary education 
major and founder and president 
of the Clarion Dance Marathon, 
Clarion residents will also benefit 
from the Marathon fund. 

More than 500 children from 
the Clarion area received medical 
attention at this hospital, which is 
one of the primary reasons the 
site was selected. 

Jill Marie Daly, events special- 
ist at Children's Hospital of 
Pittsburgh, appreciates Clarion's 



efforts. 

"In America the equivalent of 
five classrooms of children are 
diagnosed everyday with some 
form of cancer," said Daly. "Each 
day about a classroom full of 
children lose their battle." 

Daly hopes to provide assis- 
tance to the Clarion Dance 
Marathon by providing tours to 
different areas of the hospital so 
students can meet some of the 
children with cancer. 

"We decided we wanted to 
work with and help children," 
said Jericho. 

Jericho is still seeking people 
interested in working on several 
committees including public rela- 
tions, entertainment, marketing 
and hospitality. 

"We are undergoing the appli- 
cation process now for our com- 
mittees but we hope to have more 
students, campus wide, become 
involved," said Jericho. 

Of the many committees, the 
entertainment commitee will 
seek local bands, celebrities and

day with some form of 
cancer. 99

other people that will show sup- 
port to the cause and help raise 
money for children with pediatric 
cancer. 

Getting the marathon recog- 
nized has been a long process. 
Members first went to student 
senate on Feb. 12, but were 
denied Jericho explained. 

"Feb. 24 and March 17 are the 
only times I remember seeing 
them (marathon members)," said 
student senator Terrilyn 
Cheatham. 

Jericho explained the request 
was not approved due to the min- 
imal workload for each commit- 
tee member, which is why there 



are now several combinations of 
responsiblities and duties for 
each committee. 

"We asked her what the purpose 
of the committees were and why 
they had so many," said 
Cheatham. "There were 12 com- 
mittees." 

"There were also grammatical 
issues," said Cheatham. 

Jericho and other members of 
the marathon returned to the next 
student senate meeting on Feb. 
24, but were again denied by a 
vote of 19-0-0. 

Jericho said she thought the 
marathon would be more produc- 
tive if Panhellenic and 
Interfraternity Council assisted 
with the marathon, but senate 
concluded that the two organiza- 
tions might not want to be 
involved. 

"The constitution beared the 
assumption that the Panhellenic 
and Interfraternity councils 
would be particpating within a 
committee," said Cheatham. 
"Senate suggested that before the 



constitution was passed and the 
organization was formed, all the 
members of the marathon speak 
with members of Panhel and IFC 
in regards to their participation." 

"It was stated that both Panhel 
and IFC had not been notified of 
their participation as of yet," said 
Cheatham. "That was one of the 
biggest issues." 

The organization had its first 
planning meeting on Tuesday, 
March 25. Approximately 20 
people showed up said Jericho. 

The tentative date for the 
marathon is sometime in March 
2004. 

Jericho hopes to receive dona- 
tions to get the marathon off the 
ground. 

"So far I've been giving out of 
my own pocket," said Jericho. 

Jericho first learned about the 
idea at Penn State University. 
They have a similar program 
called the Thon. 

More than 700 people partici- 
pate in the event and an addition- 
al 12,000 observe.

Clarion is very 

lucky to have the fine 

men and women who 

protect us and who do 

what is right. 99 

-Kylee Ebersole 



EDITORIAL, K EBERSQL 
"Hometown Heroes" 



March 2003 will be remembered 
for many years to come. It is the 
time that the United States went 
to war with Iraq to remove 
Saddam Hussein from controlling 
power. This war is different for 
me than were previous wars. 
Maybe it is because I'm older 
now and can understand what is 
happening, or maybe it is because 
this war is hitting too close to 
home. 

Men and women from Clarion 
have been called to go overseas 
and protect our country. 
Unfortunately two of the men 
who have been called into active 
duty are family to two very close 
friends of mine. 

These two women have expe- 
rienced so much already with the 
military and now they are facing 



this. One of the men who has 
been shipped out is the father to 
one of my friends. But not only 
is he a father, he is a husband, 
friend, and well-liked individual 
at his place of employment. Now 
the military has called for him 
overseas to protect us and become 
a hero. 

The other man is the husband 
of my other friend. He too is not 
just a husband. He is a father to 
two wonderful children, a wife to 
a terrific lady, and a son. He too 
has been called to go and serve 
our country. 

The fact that these two ladies 
are sitting in the United States 
waiting for their important men to 
come home crushes me. 

I have gained so much more 
respect for my friends. They are 



OP/A/tOM 



handling this like champs. 

My friend with two children 
has to try to explain to her kids 
why daddy isn't home and why he 
won't be home for a while. How 
do you explain something like 
that to a six-year-old and to a two- 
year-old? Somehow though, this 
woman has done so. 

Not only did she have to 
explain that, but also for the next 
year, she has big shoes to fill and 
she is off to a wonderful start. 
Not only does she have to be a 
mom, but she also has to perform 
the role of the father while he is 
off fighting for a better future for 
his family and the rest of our fam- 
ilies. 

My friend who was there 
when her father left is also having 
a hard time dealing with this situ- 
ation, but she knows this is what 
her father was meant to do. She is 
very proud and honored to say her 
dad is in the army and he is over- 
seas fighting for what he knows is 
right. 

These men are heroes in my 
mind (and so are their families), 
no matter what the outcome of 
this war. These men are risking 
their lives to fight for a better 
future for everyone, not just their 
families and friends, but also for a 
group of people they don't even 
know.

No Longer Unheard" 

The "Unheard Voice" started those who don't see people of 



out as a newsletter dedicated to 
minority issues on Clarion 
University's campus. 

Its sole purpose was to create, 
promote and highlight leader- 
ship and unity among all the dif- 
ferent cultures on campus. All 
ethnic groups, no matter age, 
race, religion or sexual prefer- 
ence, were to get time to let 
their voices be heard. 

Spotlighting minority organi- 
zations will bring more attention 
to minority causes and create a 
broader interest in these groups. 
Furthermore, we wanted to 
show to the students of Clarion 
how proud we are of the minor- 
ity faculty and staff members. 

They often go above and 
beyond the call of duty to help 
those in need and to mentor to

Letter to the Editor 



War, not the ultimate immorality 



Dear Editor, 
In response to Mr. Emmerick's 

letter in last week's Caff\ am com- 
pelled to write. 

I find it humorous - if there can 
be any humor about war - when 
Mr. Emmerick refers to war as the 
"ultimate immorality". 

If we are to take him seriously, 
then we should assume that when 
he says "war", he really means 
"war." I would suggest that Mr. 
Emmerick, like the Hollywood 



actors and actresses, doesn't real- 
ly mean "war", but rather he 
means "a republican war." 

Mr. Emmerick gives himself 
away in the opening paragraphs of 
his letter. His diatribe against the 
president marks the esteemed Mr. 
Emerick as being every bit as par- 
tisan as I am. 

It would be easier to believe Mr. 
Emmerick was less ardent in his 
hatred of the Republicans. I truly 
do not understand the visceral, gut 



level hatred that so many liberals 
have for anyone who disagrees 
with them. 

I become incredibly weary 
thinking about political correct- 
ness, the mind-control that it rep- 
resents and the evil it can spawn. 
Ours is supposed to be a nation in 
which our freedom of speech is 
protected. 

Try to publicly hold a position 
contrary to the approved liberal 
line. It's not about free speech, it's

John Fund wrote a great column 
in the Wall Street Journal last 
week, entitled "Stars and Gripes", 
( http://www.opinionjournal.com/ 
diarv/?id= 110003 188 ) in which 
he describes the "pro-war" posi- 
tions of such "luminaries" as 
Mike Ferrell and Sheryl Crow. 
Both of these ardent "anti-war" 
activists were very supportive of 
the Clinton administration's mili- 
tary adventurism. 

Mr. Fund suggests that these 
morons are only against this was 
because it is a Bush-Republican 
war. I believe he is correct and I 
believe this hypocrisy is alive and 
well in Clarion. 

I've been a student at CUP for 
five years now and have never 
seen, or heard of, any opposition 
to U.S. military action until now, 
throughout the years of the 
Clinton presidency, there was not 
one single word, not one peep, not 
one protest against our military 
activity. 

Where was Mr. Emmerick when 
President Clinton ordered our 
forces to attack Kosovo, Bosnia 
and Haiti? Where were the "anti- 
war" protestors when Clinton 
bombed Afghanistan and blew up 
a Saudanese aspirin factory? 
Where were the seven-concerned 
faculty members who organized 
last semester's "forum" on the 
war in Iraq? 

It certainly makes me wonder. 
It would seem to me that if Mr. 
Emmerick and the faculty mem- 
bers who are so against our

involvement in Iraq were truly 
"anti-war" we should have seen 
demonstrations, forums and let- 
ters to the editor against all of the 
military adventurism of the 
Clinton administration and, as far 
as I can remember, there were 
none. 

Mr. Emmerick is a voracious let- 
ter writer and I cannot recall a sin- 
gle time he wrote against military 
action until now. 

Surely such ardent "pacifists" 
must have been against previous 
military actions? 

Surely... the last poll I saw sug- 
gests that 75 percent of Americans 
approve of our military action 
against Iraq. 

I suggest that most Americans 
understand the reality of Iraq and 
understand the connections 
between Saddam Hussein and 
global terrorism. 

Mr. Emmerick and the rest of 
the' die-hard liberal, socialist, 
marxists and one-world-order 
fans are not on the wrong side of 
history-they are the wrong side of 
history. 

Sincerely, 
John Gerow

"Greek Sing" allows students to shine 



by Jeannette Good 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

"It's (Greek Week) a time to let 
the Greeks shine because we're 
so down-played on campus," 
senior elementary and special 
education major Katie Nee, Delta 
Phi Epsilon, said. 

Phi Mu Alpha brothers Dave 
Hart and Ardan O'Brien opened 
"Greek Sing" at 3 p.m. on March 
30 at in Marwick-Boyd auditori- 
um to a full house. 



Every group seemed 

to put a lot of 

time and effort in 

preparing for this 

'Greek Sing. ' 99 

-Mandy Hutchinson 



Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia then 
sang "The Star Spangled 
Banner." In the doorways, dona- 
tions were collected for the 
Clarion Area Hospital to benefit 
cancer research. 

Of the sororities. Delta Phi 
Epsilon placed first. Delta Zeta 
took second place, and Phi 
Sigma Sigma won third place. 

Delta Phi Epsilon sister Erika 
Klimkowicz, junior secondary 
Spanish education major com- 
mented, "Finally the stress is 
gone, and now it's just fun and 
games. We worked so hard." 

For the fraternities, Sigma Pi 
placed first. Phi Delta Theta took 
second place, and Tau Kappa 
Epsilon won third place. 

"It was rough. I think this is 
one of the best 'Greek Sings' I've 
seen," judge Shawn Hoke said 
after the event. 

Senior early childhood/elemen- 
tary education major Mandy 
Hutchison said, "Every group 
seemed to put a lot of time and 
effort in preparing for this 'Greek 
Sing.'" As President of Sigma 
Alpha Iota, sister performance 



fraternity to Phi Mu Alpha, she 
completely understood the level 
of dedication and practice needed 
for performance. 

Wearing pink scarves and pins 
to show their support of breast 
cancer awareness, Zeta Tau 
Alpha performed "I Turn to You" 
by Christina Aguilera, as a for- 
mal song. During their informal 
"Medley" from "The Newsies," 
Zeta Tau Alpha encountered 
technical difficulties with their 
music. However, they restarted 
their well-choreographed song 
and finished even better. 

Delta Phi Epsilon used an 
acoustic guitar accompaniment 
for their formal song "Traveling 
Soldier" by The Dixie Chicks. 
Inflatable guitars replaced the 
acoustic as props for Britney 
Spears' version of "I Love Rock 
'n Roll," Delta Phi Epsilon's 
informal song. 

Acoustic guitar and sign lan- 
guage accompanied Delta Zeta in 
their formal song "The Rose" by 
Bette Middler. Then, their black 
robes dropped, during 

Madonna's "Like a Prayer," to 
reveal an informal song full of 
sequins. 

With only twelve sisters, Theta 
Phi Alpha gave a strong perfor- 
mance with formal song 
"Cowboy Take Me Away" by The 
Dixie Chicks and informal song 
"It's Raining Men" by the Pointer 
Sisters. 

Flute and piano accompanied 
"Colors of the Wind" from the 
Disney movie "Pocahontas," for 
Phi Sigma Sigma's formal song. 
They brought out red poodle 
skirts for their informal song "We 
Go Together" from Grease and 
dedicated it to Ronnie Kennedy. 
Flute accompanist Lisa Mages, 
junior communication sciences 
and disorders major, commented, 
"It's a lot of work to put in for 
five minutes. For example, one 
girl sewed all of our costumes." 

Alpha Sigma Tau performed 



"Heal the World" by Michael 
Jackson, as a formal song, and 
"Age of Aquarius" by Fifth 
Dimension, the opening song to 
"Hair," for their informal song. 

With piano accompaniment, 
Sigma Sigma Sigma performed 
formal song "You've Got a 
Friend" by James Taylor. They 
wore blue sequins for their infor- 
mal song "Dancing Queen" by 
Mama Mia. 

Sigma Pi sang "Oh Child" by 
Five Stairsteps acapella for their 
formal song. Their informal 
"Now and Then Medley" includ- 
ed segments of "Staying Alive," 
"Bad," "Jailhouse Rock," 
"Tootsie Roll," "Dirty Pop" and 
an Elvis impersonator even made 
an appearance. 

Master of Ceremony Dave 
Hart, sophomore technical the- 
atre major, said, "The shows 
were great. I was really 
impressed with Sig Pi. They 
showed great musicianship." 



informal song. 

Phi Delta Theta sang Louis 
Armstrong's "What a Wonderful 
World" for their formal song and 
dressed as The Village People for 
their informal song "YMCA." 

"It was extremely hard to hear 
some of the fraternities," junior 
elementary/special education 
major Diana Didinger said. 

Though entertaining, "The cos- 
tumes were the highlight a bit 
more than the singing," Junior 
communication major Emily 
McConnell said. 

To conclude the ceremony, The 
Clarion University Dance Team 



gave a special performance to 
"Place For My Head." Also, Phi 
Mu Alpha Sinfonia sang "I Wish 
I Was Single Again." After 
screams and cheers, the brothers 
gave an impromptu encore with 
"Hail Sinfonia" and "For the 
Longest Time." Phi Mu Alpha 
has their recital this semester on 
at 8:15 p.m. on April 6 in 
Marwick-Boyd Auditorium. 

Senior music education major 
and Master of Ceremony Ardan 
O'Brien said, "Congratulations 
to all the Greeks. It was a great 
show, and the hard work 
showed." 



It was rough. I think 
this is one of the 
best 'Greek Sings ' 
I've seen. 99

Book Review 



"Troublemakers" 



by Paul Anderson 
Clarion Call Book Reviewer 



Tau Kappa Epsilon performed 
"Dust In the Wind" by Kansas, as 
their formal song. Their informal 
song, "You've Lost That Lovin' 
Feeling" by the Righteous 
Brothers, brought out shiny box- 
ers and a man in a wig and skirt. 

"It's a shame Phi Sigma Kappa 
didn't perform because they 
would have won," sophomore 
communication major Shawn 
Glancy said confidently. 

Kappa Delta Rho performed 
the Cheers Theme song for their 
formal song and Blink 182's "All 
the Small Things," with drums, 
guitar and bass guitar, for an 



Harlan Ellison cannot be clas- 
sified as horror, thriller or sci-fi 
writer. His stories have ingredi- 
ents of each, but his writing is 
too broad to pigeonhole him into 
anything specific. 

The only classification you 
could do with Ellison is that he 
writes modern fables, which is 
most noticeable with his latest 
book, "Troublemakers." 

Choosing stories that span 
from the 1950's to 1990's, it can 
be seen as his manifesto on life. 
It could be called "How Harlan 
Ellison Thinks You Should 
Live," but this isn't a negative 
comment on it. 

The lessons and points he 
makes are common sense. For 
example, in "'Repent, 
Harlequin!' Said the 

Ticktockman," Ellison is show- 
ing us what can happen if we let 
ourselves become too consumed 
with schedules. 

This story can be seen as his 



version of the "negative Utopia" 
that George Orwell and Aldous 
Huxley made famous with their 
books "1984" and "Brave New 
World," only in short story for- 
mat, which is his chosen format. 
The lessons in each (keeping 
your mouth shut sometimes and 
knowing when to take responsi- 
bility and when to chuck it for 
example) are humorous and easy 
to read and don't feel so brow- 
beating-ish as typical fables. 

Still, in this age where princi- 
ples are taught on MTV, fables 
have an uphill battle in being 
accepted as "good." 

Even Ellison knows he's tread- 
ing on thin ice, which led to the 
inclusion of the two page story, 
"The Voice in the Garden" 
which is almost Ellison's take on 
the old Twilight Zone episode, 
"The Omega Man." 

After a nuclear war, the last 
man on Earth walks through the 
rubble that was Cleveland, Ohio. 
He comes upon an angelic 
woman and they come to the 
decision that, since they are the

Movie Review 



"Basic" not what the title implies 



by Tyler Fausnaught 
Clarion Call Movie Reviewer 

John McTiernan has staked his 
claim as the action film genre's 
hit or miss director. 

In films like "Predator" and 
"Die Hard," McTiernan has 
shown a key instinct for balanc- 
ing action with a plot that is 
ignorable enough to make for an 
enjoyable action flick. Other 
times his films are so ridiculous 
in nature that it seems to boggle 
the mind. For an example of this, 
see the great action accomplish- 
ment, "Last Action Hero." 

In "Basic," a film that I thought 
would tum out to be the combina- 
tion of both ignorable plot and 
ridiculous premise, turned out to 
be something totally different. 

Instead of a plot that was easily 
placed in the back of the mind 
allowing the action to shine, we 
have a story that screams for 
attention. Of the little action that 
is included in this nauseating 
game of Clue, 99.9% of it is so 
foggy and hard to see that it 
couldn't possibly save the unself- 
conscious finale. 

John Travolta stars as Agent 
Tom Hardy, a former army inter- 
rogator who now works for the 



Basic 



Rating: R 

Runtime: 1 hr. 35 min.

DEA in Panama. This is a job 
with an endless bottom, but 
Hardy likes endless bottoms, 
especially as he drinks a bottle of 
Jack Daniels in his shower. 

This isn't a knock on Travolta, 
despite his recent ventures into 
the action genre that produced 
horrible results; Travolta is strong 
in this film. 

Helping Travolta along the way 
is a decent cast headed by Samuel 
Jackson. Jackson plays his usual 
scene chewing load mouth with a 
chip on his shoulder, this time 
with the name Sgt. Nathan West. 
West is a punishing Army 
Ranger Sergeant that seems to 
define all logic in his orders and 
treatment of his men. In the open- 
ing sequence we see a helicopter 
swooping it's way through the 
river valley of the Panamanian 
jungle to deliver Sgt. West's 
troops on a spur of the moment 
training exercise. 

Soon we find that something 
has gone terribly wrong with the 
mission and some soldiers find 
themselves pushing up daisies. 

Investigating the case is Lt. 
Julia Osborne played by Connie 
Nelson. After her commander, 
played by Timothy Daly, deter- 
mines that his particular case is 
above her, he enlists the aid of 
Tom Hardy. 

The story leads us into an inves- 
tigation of the classic "what hap- 
pened back there theme," and 
feels like a bad episode of "JAG." 

This is where the plot thickens, 



and thickens, and eventually gets 
so thick that viewers will wish 
they had a rewind button and a 
bottle of aspirin. 

I will end my plot summary 
here not because I don't want to 
spoil the films surprises but 
because I probably couldn't sum- 
marize it if I chose to go that 
route. 

"Basic" takes so many plot 
twists and uses so many POV 
story directions it is hard to keep 
up and after 60 minutes, the red- 
herring count is a staggering 
seven characters. 

Three hours later my head is 
still spinning and I'm sure that 
there will be plenty of people 
submitting what they think was 
the plot map on the Internet for 
others to read. Frankly, I would 
be happy to read some theories on 
this film because their guess is as 
good as mine. 

Despite the one and a half star 
rating and the belittlement I have 
shown this film, I have to admit I 
enjoyed it . . . well, just a little bit. 

I enjoyed it the way I enjoy any 
bad film. The film, while being 
terribly confusing, was slick and 
stylish enough to keep my eyes 



aimed at the screen. The actors in 
the film gave convincing perfor- 
mances and the dialogue was pre- 
sentable. 

Sometimes there is a big differ- 
ence between watching a film that 
is enjoyable and watching a film 
that is recommendable to others. 
Sometimes quoting a film and 
having inside jokes between 
friends can make a silly comedy 
worth a dozen late night watches. 

"Basic" takes itself far too seri- 
ous to allow inside joking; how- 
ever, there is still an element of 
fun in a film that is so unselfcon- 
scious it is almost dizzying. 

Still, I am not recommending 
this film by any means. The only 
fun that would come from 
"Basic" would be to rent it on 
DVD and watch it three or four 
times, trying to come up with 
your own explanations of how the 
film ended. 

I wonder if the confusion in this 
film is intentional. If it was, what 
purpose would that serve? 

Maybe the filmmakers thought 
it would be funny to give a 
labyrinth of a film the title 
"Basic." If that isn't cynicism, I 
don't know what is.

last two humans, they must 
start the race again - only this 
time there will be no war or 
bigotry. 

They will turn the world into 
a modern Garden of Eden. 

Then they ask each other's 
name. 

"She flushed slightly. 'Eve,' 
she said. What's yours?' 

"'Bernie,' he said." 

Ellison admits that this story 
is an example of "a smartass 
who never grew up," but insists 
that there is a lesson behind his 
tongue-in-cheek tale, or rather, 
the lesson in the writing of it at 
all. 

In the introduction of the 
story (he has one for each tale), 
he writes, "If all you've got to 
back up your wisecracks and 
stupid jokes. . .is more smart- 
mouth, you are very quickly 
going to look to everyone 
around you, everyone you want 
to be impressed by you, as what 
you truly are: a horse's patoot." 
Each introduction outlines the 
lesson and he pulls no punches 
with it as you can see in the 
quote above. In the book's 
introduction; he says- he meant 
the collection for people our 
ages: the 18 through 22 clique. 
In the book's introduction, he 
says, "It's a book about some of 
the kinds of trouble we all get 
into. The stuff that seems to be 
a good idea at the time, but 
turns out to be six months in 
rehab or a beef in the juvie hall 
of your choice." 

He's blunt with his point in 
the book and, somehow, no one 
feels like they're being lec- 
tured, which he admits he could 
sound like if he wasn't careful. 
Lessons, sarcasm and odd sto- 
ries aside (one involves a man 
so curious that he ends up find- 
ing out about an eccentric alien 
invasion because he got a cryp- 
tic fortune cookie at lunch one 
day), Harlan Ellison's 
"Troublemakers" is a handy 
book for being stuck inside on a 
rainy day and a good choice if 
you don't know what to get at 
Amazon.com. 

It beats any novel by John 
Grisham that's for sure.

Music Review 



Future of rap in grave danger 




by Jesse Ley 
Clarion Call Music Reviewer ^ 

The music world as we know it 
was revolutionized practically 
overnight when a street smart kid 
from Queens, New York emerged 
into the mainstream like an angel- 
ic, urban prophet, crafting such 
soon-to-be-classics as "In Da 
Club" and "Wanksta." 

This mystical being of urban 
mayhem is none other than 50 



Cent. 

Born Curtis Jackson, 50 Cent has 
been teetering on the brink of 
national success ever since the late 
90's. His powerful breakthrough 
seemed inevitable. 

However, due to a large amount 
of his material being prematurely 
leaked into the streets (including 
"Thug Love," a collaboration with 
Destiny's Child) and the ever trag- 
ic ambush incident, which left 50 
Cent injured by nine gunshot

wounds, his original record label, 
Columbia, was plagued with 
apprehension and promptly pulled 
the record from the market and 
dropped the wounded rapper from 
their stable of talent. 

Left alone to recover both physi- 
cally and emotionally, 50 Cent 
spent the next few years circulat- 
ing his music on the underground 
network. 

Writing and recording relentless- 
ly, 50 Cent managed to create large 
amounts of mix tapes and collabo- 
rations that are said to contain 
some of his finest work. 

After a series of ups and downs 
in both his personal life and music 
career, 50 Cent finally caught the 
ear of rapper/record producer 
Eminem, and was signed to his 
record label immediately. 

Now after many years of antici- 
pation, 50 Cent's first major label 
record "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" 
was released on Feb. 6, 2003. 

50 Cent intricately weaves tales 
of street life and hustling into 
beautiful three-minute pop gems 
that give sheltered suburban chil- 
dren something to aspire to. His 
thought provoking, danceable 
tunes provide the perfect backdrop 
to any college frat party because 
kids can relate to his music on both 
rump-shaking and metaphysical 
levels. 

It's a refreshing change of pace to 
encounter an artist that will shame-

Roberts teaching more than English 



by Denise Carter 
.... £!?. r J?. n . £?J! .?ftK W™ter 

Dr. Brian Roberts, of the 
English department, chose to 
teach at Clarion University 
because it has a very diverse fac- 
ulty. Roberts also appreciated the 
opportunity to write grants, help 
develop and implement cultural 
and educational programs and 
conduct research. 

"You can contribute to the aca- 
demic community and you can 
learn from the academic commu- 
nity," said Roberts. 

Roberts stays active on campus 
through participating in the 
African American Student 
Mentoring program, the 
Frederick Douglas program and 
the Black Caucus. 

His future goals include writing 
a play, and getting some of his 



research published. 

Roberts admits that although 
African Americans and other eth- 
nic groups face racism, sexism, 
and other forms of discrimination 
in the United States, they should 
not allow these forms of injus- 
tices to keep them from achieving 
their goals. 

"I was taught by my father and 
mother at an early age that you 
don't let the color of your skin 
dictate what you are. You let your 
abilities dictate who you are." 

Roberts also said his family, 
friends, and teachers had a posi- 
tive influence on him throughout 
his life including Dr. Robert 
Girvan, Kathryn Graham, Angela 
Gandy and Calvin Stemley. 

His father, Daniel P. Roberts, 
was an alumni of Clarion 
University and a scholarship is 



named after him. 

As a message to students, 
Roberts stressed believing in the 
three fundamentals: reading, 
writing, and math because "they 
never go away." 

He also believes education is 
the number one key to success 
and a person has to be willing to 
be open-minded to learn and 
study. 

Roberts, a Clarion University 
professor since 1993 and alumni, 
recently received his doctorate in 
English from Indiana University 
of Pennsylvania in December of 
2002. 

Roberts said any student who 
hopes to earn their doctorate 
should have patience, humility, 
flexibility, discipline and good 
time management skills because 
it is a mental struggle. 



"I want to be the best teacher I 
can be. I want students to be able 
to think for themselves. If I'm 
teaching students to be great 
thinkers, then I myself also have 
to engage field of study," said 
Roberts. 

Roberts said that he received a 
lot of support from wife, his fam- 
ily, and many of his friends who 
are teachers themselves. 

He said his friends helped him 
to understand the obstacles and 
challenges that he had to face as a 
student pursuing a doctoral 
degree. 

He initially wanted to become a 
high school music teacher while 
he was an undergraduate at 
Clarion University, but he started 
to think about teaching on the 
college level. 
"I thought that it would be more

rewarding to be a professor at the 
college level," said Roberts. 

"At the college level you get to 
talk more in depth about literary 
studies, whereas at the high 
school level, you can only begin 
to touch the surface of basic 
points about literary studies."

Allies 



by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 



The eighth annual Day of 
Silence protest is slated for April 
9, 2003. 

The day is symbolic of the 
silence gays, lesbians, bisexuals 
and transgender people experi- 
ence in their everyday lives. 

Clarion University's human 
rights group Allies recently sent 
information to organizations on 
campus to gain support for the 
event. 

"Think of everything that you 
say in nine hours. Now, think of 
everything you leave unsaid in 
nine hours. Could you hide a part 
of who you are for nine hours? 
Yet, this is what countless les- 
bians, gays, bisexuals and trans- 



gender people do everyday of 
their lives because of a lack of 
protection to their basic rights," 
the letter stated. 

There will be an informational 
meeting at 8:30 p.m. on Monday, 
April 7 in the Gemmell Rotunda. 
Allies will have a table set up in 
Gemmell Student Complex from 
9 a.m. - 5 p.m. 

Students can pick up rainbow 
pins, cards stating their participa- 
tion in the event, materials to 
make T-shirts and other informa- 
tion. 

Allies asks participants to go 
without speaking the entire day, 
but understands if students must 
speak during class. 



taken on the task of hiring 
Unheard Voice staff members. 

These staff members have 
worked with TL Ct*k* C*tt to 
develop a page that celebrates 
the rich diversity that exists 
within the Clarion University 
community and our nation, 
which is known as the "melting 
pot." 

I know some will say TLCatt 
shouldn't call attention to diver- 
sity issues, but rather these 
issues should be intermixed 
throughout the paper. However, 
in the newspaper there are sepa- 
rate sections to make it easier 
for readers to find certain topics 
of interest. 

For instance, if a person wish- 
es to find out about last week's 
basketball game or tennis 
match, where does one look? In 
the sports section of course. 

If someone wants to find out if 
that newly released movie is 
worth seeing, they turn to the 
Lifestyles section. 

Many of you also make a spe- 
cial effort to turn to page two in 
the news section to keep your- 
selves informed of campus 
crime. 

Most of TL CUr»< C*tt staff has 
high hopes for this modest page 
to be a place for all unheard

voices. 

The hope is that one day stu- 
dents will look to TL CUt not 
only for the latest athletic 
scores, reviews, or crime blot- 
ter, but to find out about the 
lives and experiences of other 
students. 

If, as a campus community, we 
continue to brush diversity 
issues under the proverbial rug, 
then we become a place of igno- 
rance. An ignorant campus is 
not ideal, but rather a place that 
allows prejudice and hatred to 
flourish. 

With recent world events, 
don't we all need more knowl- 
edge, respect and understanding 
for one another? What we don't 
need is more unheard voices. 

The Clarion Call will continue 
to bring you the latest in Clarion 
University news, sports, arts, 
entertainment and features. 



The cultures page is not a seg- 
regated place to pigeon-hole 
minority students. The majority 
of story coverage focuses on our 
similarities. 

We cover stories that are 
important to us as members of 
the Clarion University commu- 
nity. 

We believe a separate page 
would give us the opportunity to 
explore what makes us differ- 
ent. . 

We want to provide aU our 
readership with a chance to be 
heard, seen and understood. The 
cultures page is a first step 
toward greater understanding. 

We extend a special thank you 
to the "Unheard Voice" staff for 
making us re-examine our con- 
tent and for inspiring us to 
strive to meet the needs of all 
our readers. 

With hope for a 
diverse campus,

Golf team is ready 
for spring tee off 



Courtesy of 
Sports Information 



Clarion University's 2003 Golf 
team is looking forward to the 
Spring season under fourth year 
head coach Al Lefevre. 

The Golden Eagles won the 2002 
PSAC title and advanced to the 
NCAA Regional Tournament. 

The team returns experienced vet- 
erans and quality first year talent to 
continue their success in 2003. 

Lefevre, who begins his fourth 
season directing the golf team, led 
the Fall 2002 team to a strong show- 
ing in tournament play. 

Nothing showed Clarion's scoring 
power more than its first place finish 
at the WVIAC Regionals at Canaan 
Valley C.C. 

The Golden Eagles likely posted a 
school record four under par two 
day total of 286. Harnessing that 
scoring power consistently will be 
the Clarion call for 2003. 

Lefevre was named PSAC "Coach 
of the Year" in 2002 while leading 
the Golden Eagles to the PSAC 
team title and a berth in the NCAA 
Regional Tournament. 

In his four seasons the Golden 
Eagles have continued to improve 
each season. The Eagles were PSAC 
runenrs-upin2001. 

The Golden Eagles have three 
returning players off the 2002 PSAC 
Championship team, plus have other 
veterans and some quality newcom- 
ers that are battling for playing time. 
The 2002 squad placed 8th at the 
NCAA Division II East Regionals 
with a three day score of 924. 
Clarion won its first PSAC team title 
since 1982 when the Eagles fash- 
ioned a two-day, 36-hole score of 
605 at Hawk Valley C.C, besting 
Millersville by six strokes. 

"We're really looking forward to 
the Spring season. We return quality 
players that are tournament tested, 
plus have added some strong new- 
comers that could help put us over 
the top,"said Lefevre. 

Senior Ryan Peffer (Harrisville, 
Moniteau H.S.) and sophomores 
Matt Guyton (DuBois) and Lou 
Jesiolkiewic (Pittsburgh, Chartiers 
Valley) are expected to lead a talent- 
ed Golden Eagle squad in 2003. 

Peffer, a four-year player, will cap- 
tain the 2003 team. In the Fall he 
averaged 79.4 and will be the Eagles 
#3 man. Last year Ryan placed third 
at the PSAC tournament with a 73, 
77, 150 total. 



He went on and placed 1 1th at the 
NCAA Regionals with a three day 
total of 229 (79, 74, 76). Ryan 
earned All-PSAC honors in the 
Spring 2000 season when he placed 
9th at the PSAC's carding a 77-79, 
156 total. 

Guyton, the 2002 PSAC Player & 
Rookie of the Year, is once again 
ready to sizzle golf courses. In the 
Fall he shot what is believed to be a 
Clarion record 10-under par 134 
(67, 67) at Canaan Valley C.C. 
(W.V). 

Matt played 11 rounds in the Fall 
season and had a 73.0 scoring aver- 
age. He was second at the PSAC's 
last year with a 148 total and he was 
a strong fifth at the NCAA 
Regionals carding a 224 (75, 75, 
74). 

Already medalist at a number of 
invitationals in a year and a half at 
Clarion, Guyton is reaching for 
more. 

Jesiolkiewic, a talented sophomore 
who will play #2 behind Guyton, 
also played 1 1 rounds in the Fall and 
posted a 76.8 scoring average. 

He had a low round of */l at the 
WVIAC and played in the PSAC's 
(10th, 154) and the NCAA 
Regionals (33rd, 237). 

Veteran performers Paul Garris (Jr. 
Richmond, Texas, Columbia) and 
Ryan Butler (Boardman, Ohio, 
Canfield H.S.) bring experience to 
the Eagle lineup. 

Garris will start the year as 
Clarion's #4 man. In the fall he 
played 9 rounds and posted an 81.1 
average. He shot a low round of 72 
at the WVIAC and actually shot a 
146 total there as well. He also aver- 
aged 81.5 in the Fall of 2000 and 
83.5 in 2001. 

Butler, a sophomore, played in 
four rounds in the fall and posted an 
84.2 average. He had a low round of 
81 at the Hal Hansen tournament. 
He saw limited action a year ago, 
but is hoping to make a contribution. 
The Eagles also have talented new- 
comers in Robert Chisholm (Jr. Pgh. 
North Hills), James Simpson (Fr. 
Hubert, N.C., Swansboro H.s.), 
Matt Gribschaw (Fr. Irwin, Penn 
Trafford), Joe Agostinelli (Jr. 
Shippenville, Clarion) and Jay 
Gerber (Jr. Tioesta, West Forest). 

"We believe we have a very solid 
golf team with plenty of quality 
depth," stated Lefevre. 

The Golden Eagle golfers looks to 
defend their PSAC title and have a 
very successful spring season.

Track and Field 



Freshmen shine at the Track and Field "Early Bird" meet 



by Julie Evenoski 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 



The Clarion University Golden 
Eagle Track and Field team braved 
the cold, windy and rainy weather 
this last weekend to open up their 
outdoor season with the Clarion Early 
Bird. 

The teams that competed were 
Juniata, Penn State Behrend, 
Mercyhurst, Westminster, Grove City, 
Edinboro, and Canisius. 

"For those that competed, we had 
some good performances despite the 
weather," said Head Coach Pat 
Mooney. 

Freshman Bridget Sardo led the 
way by getting 2nd place and break- 
ing the school record in the 3,000- 
meter steeplechase. 

The new time for this event is 
12:16.11. Because this is a relative- 
ly new event for the Clarion 
University runners, there will be 



some competition between them to 
better their times. 

"As with the competition breaking 
the women's javelin school record, 
the women's steeplechase should see 
its record getting broken more times 
during the season," said Mooney . 

Freshman Jarrett Williams made 
his debut by winning both the 100 
and 200-meter runs, as well as being 
a member of the first place finishing 
4 x 100 meter relay team. 

Williams also qualifies for the out- 
door PSAC championships with his 
times of 11.21 and 22.50 respectively. 
The men's 4 x 100 meter relay team 
consists of two freshman Williams 
and Dan Alderton as well as veterans 
Tim Fabrizi and Brandon Phillips. 

Alderton, also a member of the 4 x 
400 meter team, was the winner of the 
400-meter run with a time of 50.13. 

In the field, freshman Kristen 
Werder took 5th in the long and triple 
jump. Freshman Nikki Plassion was 
4th in the high jump with 4-06. 




Ben Chandlee /The Clarion Call 
Members of the 4X100 relay team get set to go in practice this week. 

The Eagles head out east to meet. We haven't been down there in 

Shippensburg this Saturday to com- a while, so the athletes are looking 

pete against Ship, Millersville, and forward to improve their times and 

IUP. marks," said Mooney. 

"The Ship meet should be a great Hopefully, the sun will shine.

Sports Feature 



Living with your teammates; good or bad? 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 



Throughout college experience, there 
comes a point in time when we get 
frustrated with everything and room- 
mates usually appear at the top of the 
list. 

Usually there are plenty of ways to 
escape the frustrations such as: going 
to a friend's place, taking a walk, or 
just going to do something else to do to 
get away from the situation. 

However, let's say your only escape 
from your troubling roommate is the 
same place he or she will be. ..the prac- 
tice field. 

That's right, not only do you have to 
live with this person, but they are on 
the same team as you. 

During the season, you eat, sleep, and 
breathe with these people around the 
clock. There has to come a point in 
time where someone snaps. ..or maybe 
not. 

To find out what it is really like liv- 
ing with your teammates, TU (Mrim C*tt 
asked some members of Clarion's base- 
ball team to give us an idea of what life 
is like not only at Memorial Stadium 
where they practice and play games, 
but also inside the Fifth Avenue base- 
ball house. 

It is here where juniors Neil Blewett, 
Brandon McCliment, Pete Vuckovich, 
and senior Geremy Hoover reside. 

The field is one place in which play- 
ers must get along, but at home, situa- 
tions can become interesting. 

All four guys were questioned and 
until today, no one else knows what the 
other one said. Let's hope all four guys 
are accounted for when this all of said 
and done. 

Vuckovich , catcher and designated 
hitter for the Eagles who came to 
Clarion from Johnstown where he grew 



up with baseball. He has a pretty posi- 
tive outlook on the situation. 

"Vuke" thinks there are many advan- 
tages of living with your teammates. 

"You get to share the misery of 6 a.m. 
practices," he said. 

But that's not all. He takes comfort 
in knowing that if he sleeps in, he has 
three other guys to get him up in time 
for practice and someone to keep him 
on his toes if for some reason he should 



provided the Golden Eagles with some 
of the power in the line up that they 
needed, seems to have adjusted well. 

"When I came here, I knew no one 
and for me being able to live with 
teammates, it helped me make some 
friends," he said.

These four teammates and roommates are having a positive experience from 
living with one another and benefit from each other. Although disagreements 
do occur, they all say there are more positive times then negative with living 
together. (L to R) Pete Vuckovich Jr. (34) Geremy Hoover (?) Brandon

slack off. 

Blewett has a some what unique situ- 
ation. A transfer student from Toronto, 
Canada, he was put into the situation 
where he didn't know any of the guys 
with whom he was living with. 

He came to Clarion from a communi- 
ty college and at the last minute got a 
spot to live at the baseball house. ..awk- 
ward? Yea, I think so too. 

However, the third baseman who has 



don't have to call around to find some- 
one. 

Geremy Hoover, a senior outfielder 
for the Eagles is on his last season with 
the team. 

After transferring from Cleveland 
State two years ago, he felt that it 
would be an easy transition to live with 
teammates since he was already 
acquainted with some of the guys. 

Hoover has thoughts similar 



to"Vuke" and Blewett about living with 
teammates. 

"It's nice to have the guys there to 
talk to about issues concerning the 
team and looking out for you making 
sure you're doing the right thing," he 
said. 

Brandon McCliment, a junior first 
baseman, provided us with a more 
"humorous" outlook to the situation. 

McCliment relies on his three other 
roommates to cover all four food 
groups when they go grocery shopping 
and he has his own personal way to 
deal with seeing the other guys too 
much. 

"I usually go up to my room and plug 
in my electric guitar for two to four 
hours, then I am ready to go talk to one 
of them," he said. 

Contrary to what most may have 
thought, overall, it seems that 
Vuckovich, Blewett, Hoover, and 
McCliment are having a pretty positive 
experience living together. 

The common interests they share 
have brought them closer not only on 
the field but off as well. 

"Having a lot in common makes it 
easier to become friends," said 
Blewett. 

It's just a simple fact things aren't 
going to be perfect all the time, but 
-that's life. 

All four guys agreed that, although it 
doesn't happen often, if they get sick of 
one another, they just try and distance 
themselves a little by going to separate 
rooms and just spending time alone. 

They really seem to look out for one 
another and can depend on each other 
when someone has had a bad day at 
practice. 

There doesn't seem to be any major 
disagreements or disadvantages in the 
Fifth Avenue baseball house. ..however, 
when Brandon gets out his electric gui- 
tar and starts kareoking at 4 a.m., there 
might be something to argue about.

M ako hearing slated for May _ 



by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 



Karen Mako's defense attor- 
ney, Blair .Hindman, recently 
filed a petition to have all 
charges against his client dis- 
missed because he claims the 
district attorney and the com- 
monwealth failed to present 
enough evidence for a trial at 
the preliminary hearing in 
December. 

The hearing to dismiss charges 
is scheduled to take place May 



5. 

"The judge could dismiss any 
or all of the charges," Hindman 
said. 

Mako is charged with criminal 
homicide, aggravated assault, 
simple assault, endangering the 
welfare of a child, reckless 
endangerment, abuse of a corpse 
and concealing the death of a 
child. 

District Attorney Mark Aaron 
is no longer seeking the death 
penalty. 

"I never realistically thought 
he would," said Hindman. 



Mako, 20, a former Clarion 
University student of Darlington 
Pa., was arrested Oct. 21 when 
her male baby was found in a 
Dumpster adjacent to the east 
side of Clarion University's 
Becht Hall. 

Mako admitted to police that 
she gave birth to a male baby 
Oct. 19 in a shower stall in 
Becht Hall. 

A report filed by Trooper 
William Meyers stated that 
Richard Hetrick, a private con- 
tractor for Superior Waste, 
found the baby in a blue nylon

According to police reports, 
Mako told police she tried to 
clear the baby's mouth and 
check his pulse. Mako allegedly 
told police the baby didn't have 
a pulse, so she wrapped him in 
paper towels and placed him in 
the duffel bag. 

Mako told police she went 
home to Darlington and took the 
baby (in the duffel bag) with 
her. 

Mako told the police her intent 
was to bury the baby in the 
cemetary in her backyard, but 
had to return to Clarion for a 
meeting. 

According to police reports, 
Mako said she left the baby on 
the backseat of her Ford Tempo 
and didn't know how the baby 
was found in the Dumpster. 

At the Dec. 6 hearing, 
Hindman asked Meyers to read 
the report issued by Allegheny 
County Coroner Cyril Wecht's 
office. 

Meyers read that the baby was 
"most probably born alive." 

Hindman contends that the 
district attorney should have had 
an expert witness at the hearing. 
At the December hearing, 
Hindman said he has "no idea 
what most probably means." 

Hindman told TU Clvm C*tt \hd\

that there was trauma on the 
child's body.

"She didn't take any act upon

At a press conference in 
October, Aaron said the baby 
boy was born alive and 
remained alive for an unspeci- 
fied amount of time. The baby 
died of actions or inactions of 
Mako, Aaron said. The coroner's 
report lists asphyxiation due to 
suffocation as the cause of 
death. 

Mako has been living with her 
parents since she posted bail last 
fall.

Two bomb threats found this week 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Two additional bomb threats 
were found on campus this week. 

According to an e-mail sent by 
Dave Tedjeske, director of public 
safety, a threat was found in a first 
floor men's restroom stall in 
Wilkinson Hall early Monday 
morning, April 6. Stevens Hall 
remained open and classes took 
place as scheduled. 

A second threat was found on a 
first floor bathroom door in Givan 
Hall on Tuesday, April 8 accord- 
ing to a second e-mail from 



Tedjeske. 

"We encourage the entire uni- 
versity community - students, fac- 
ulty and staff - to come forward to 
help us stop these threats," said 
Clarion University. President 
Diane Reinhard as stated in the e- 
mail. 

Four additional threats have 
been found within the past two 
months. 

The first was found on Feb. 13 
in a men's restroom located near 
Gemmell Snack Bar. The threat 
did not target a specific building, 
but mentioned the date of Feb. 20.

A second threat was found on 
Feb. 20 in a Steven's Hall 
restroom and made reference to 
Stevens Hall and Marwick Boyd 
Fine Arts Building. 

The third threat was also found 
on Feb. 20. It was located on a 
restroom wall in Tippin 
Gymnasium and stated a bomb 
may be in the building. 

The fourth threat was found on 
April 1 in a women's restroom in 
Steven's Hall. 

Public Safety is investigating all 
threats. 

Some students feel anxious 
about the threats. 

"I am very afraid because I have 
classes in Stevens Hall and I fear 
for everyeone else taking classes 
there," said undecided freshman 
Branden Sweeney. "This is a 
school of education and bomb 
threats interrupt our learning." 

Other students aren't fearful. 

"Hopefully someone is just fool- 
ing around," said sophomore art 
major Amy Rakieski.

Clarion University shows its support for troops fighting overseas 




by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

Heads hung low at last 
Thursday's support the troops 
rally. 

Students, faculty and members 
of the community stood in 
Gemmell Square holding 
American flags and wearing yel- 
low ribbons to show support for 
troops fighting in Iraq. 

The College Republicans spon- 
sored the event. 

Katie Szafran, president of the 
College Republicans, addressed 
the crowd of approximately 50 
people. 

"You cannot support our troops 
wholeheartedly if you don't fully 
support the cause," said Szafran 
holding back tears. "Our brothers 
and sisters are dying so we can 
stand here today." 

Szafran then began to sing "God 
Bless America" as the audience 
joined her. 

Afterwards, members of the 
College Republicans read the 
names of American, sojdiers that 
died in Iraq as of April 3. 

As each of the 51 names were 



There s a lot of 
pride running through 
my veins. 99 

-Ian Hurbanek 



read, a member of the audience lit 
a candle. Within minutes, every- 
one was silent and only birds 
chirping in nearby trees could be 
heard. 

Many of the soldiers were in 
their 20s and lived all around the 
country. 

Audience members also had the 
chance to state the names of their 
loved ones fighting overseas. 
More than 20 names were 
announced followed by a moment 
of silence. Some participants 
cried, others covered their faces 
while many held hands for sup- 
port. 

Colleen Caffrey read Psalm 91 
aloud. 

"We unite in prayer for a quick 
end to the war in Iraq," said 



Caffrey. 

Toward the end of the rally, 
audience members were invited to 
say why they support the troops. 

"Everybody should keep the 
troops in their prayers," said Dan 
Winkle, president of Theta Chi. 
"It (the war) hit home because it's 
affecting our chapter and our own 
guys are over there." 

"No matter if it (war) is right or 
wrong it's happening so we 
should support our country and 
pray for them (troops)," said Amy 
Kessler, a senior elementary edu- 
cation major. 

"There's a lot of pride running 
through my veins," said Ian 
Hurbanek a senior airman aircraft 
specialist in the Pennsylvania Air 
National Guard 171 ARW in 
Pittsburgh. "Keep the pride 
alive." 

Hurbanek made reference to last 
week's war protest. 

"The only reason they (war pro- 
testors) have the right to do that is 
because of the men and women 
who died previously," said 
Hurbanek.

War, also attended the rally. 

"It's really hot out there," said 
Bloom. "You never know what is 
going to happen." 

Bloom took the names and 
addresses of men and women 
fighting overseas so he can send 
them care packages. He recalled 
how important mail became when 
he was overseas. 

"I'm sure if they (troops) could 



see everybody here they'd really 
appreciate it," said Bloom. 

Bloom's wife, Sue Wine, also 
attended the event. 

"I'm a student here and the anti- 
war protests got under my skin," 
said Wine. "Since my husband 
fought in the Gulf War I came out 
to support them (the troops)." 

The group closed by saying the 
Pledge of Allegiance. 



Interhall Council and the American Library Association to attend national conferences 



by Sharvil Desai 

Clarion Call student 

senate reporter 



Student Senate voted Monday to 
fund Interhall Council and the 
American Library Association. 

In a vote of 19-0-1, senate allo- 
cated $1,676 from the supple- 
mental reserve account to allow 
six Interhall Council members to 
attend a national conference. 

Interhall will be traveling to 
North Carolina State University 
May 22 - 25 for the National 
Association of College and 
University Residence Halls 
(NACURH) conference. 

Interhall is the governing body 
of all seven campus residence 
halls and participates in confer- 
ences every year. 

Last year Interhall gained ideas 



for its Hall Wars program from a 
conference and brought the ideas 
to Clarion, making the Hall Wars 
competition successful. 

This year there will be 10 topics 
under discussion including how to 
build executive boards, program, 
keep halls more organized and 
topics relating to diversity and 
drug and alcohol awareness. 

The conference will also give 
Interhall a chance to swap ideas 
and gain an understanding of 
what other campuses are doing 
and how to improve Interhall's 
programming. 

"It's a great opportunity and we 
bring a lot back to the campus," 
said Interhall Council President 
Paula Laddy. 

Student senate also voted ( 1 3-6- 
1) to allocate $1,905 from the 
supplemental reserve account to 



the Clarion University chapter of 
the American Library Association 
(ALA). 

Student senator Kenyata 
Dawson, voted against allocating 
funds to the ALA. 

"I would have liked to see more 
done on campus with the organi- 
zation," said Dawson. "I don't 
know what they do exactly, so 
that's why I voted against them." 

The Clarion ALA is a campus 
organization that is involved in 
the advancement and promotion 
of all libraries. ALA also brings 
academic speakers to campus as 
well as coordinating volunteer 
work. 

The ALA will use the funding to 
attend the Pennsylvania School 
ALA conference that will be held 
in Lancaster, Pa. from April 24 - 
26.

With faith as their guide, college couple experiences war firsthand 



Courtesy of KRT Campus 

For two U.S. college students 
stranded in the Iraqi desert, their 
Good Samaritans turned out to be 
a carload of Somalis. 

Eastern University seniors 
Jonathan and Leah Wilson- 
Hartgrove and their team of 
Christian peacemakers had been 
kicked out of Iraq by the govern- 
ment, and they were on the road 
back to Jordan, in the middle of 
the desert _ with their gas gauge 
on empty. 

They had already stopped at two 
stations, both closed. As they 
drove, they could see bombs 
falling in the near distance, on 
both sides of the road. They were 
at the third station, also closed, 
when Somalian medical school 
students drove up. The students 
popped open the hood of their car, 
pulled out the battery, hooked it 
up to the gas pump, and got the 
gas to flow for the Americans. 

The Wilson-Hartgroves, both 
22, were back on the Eastern 
University campus Tuesday, 
describing their journey home 
after five days in Iraq last week. 
They had risked their lives to 
enter Baghdad after the war start- 



ed to live out their belief in Jesus' 
message of peace and to show 
Iraqi people that U.S. Christians 
were not all supporting the war. 

They visited a hospital, listened 
to Iraqis grieve at the death and 
injury inflicted by stray bombs, 
and made it home safely, even 
more committed to acting out 
their faith by spending time with 
people who are suffering. 

But for all they gave, they also 
received Iraqi kindness. 

On the route out of Baghdad, 
they traveled in a three-car cara- 
van with other Christian peace- 
makers. The Wilson-Hartgroves 
were in the lead car. Their driver, 
nervous about the bombs, 
swerved around missile craters, 
burnt-out military vehicles and 
debris. Suddenly, the third car 
behind them was no longer in the 
rearview mirror. 

When the Somalis rolled up, 
they said that they had seen the 
other car in a ditch, with a tire 
blown out from road debris, the 
doors open, and blood inside. The 
car was empty. 

The Wilson-Hartgroves per- 
suaded their driver to turn around, 
and after seeing the car, they 
headed to nearby Rutba. 

There they learned that a chil- 



dren's hospital in town had been 
reduced to rubble by bombs, and 
that their team members had been 
taken by an Iraqi driver to the 
local clinic. 

Peacemaker team member 
Weldon Nisly, 57, of Seattle, had 
been seriously injured when the 
car slammed into the ditch. He 
suffered broken ribs, a broken 
clavicle, a broken finger, and a 
large gash in his head, which Iraqi 
doctors at the clinic stitched 
closed. They charged the 
Americans nothing. 

Although their journey had been 
dangerous, the Wilson- 
Hartgroves said it was worth the 
risk - being present for those who 
were suffering, being able to lis- 
ten to the anger of Iraqis who had 
lost children, siblings and loved 
ones. 

The Christian Peacemaker 
Teams project, which has sent 
groups trained in nonviolent con- 
flict resolution to such hot spots 
as Haiti and Hebron, Jordan, 
since 1988, is an initiative of 
Quakers, Mennonites and the 
Church of the Brethren. 

The Wilson-Hartgroves learned 
one key phrase in Arabic that they 
repeated when meeting Iraqis 
angered by the bombing: "We are 



so sorry," they said, holding their 
hands over their hearts. 

On their second day in 
Baghdad, they visited a bombed 
market. One Iraqi gave an impas- 
sioned speech, saying the Iraqi 
people would fight back against 
the invading Americans and 
British "with our shoes if we have 
to." 

They visited a neighborhood 
where a bomb had apparently hit. 
They entered a house and saw the 
blood-stained mattress where 
they were told a 5-year-old girl 
had been watching TV when 
shrapnel ripped through the room. 
The next day, team members 
visited a hospital, where they saw 
the girl and two siblings whose 
faces were speckled with scabs 
from shrapnel. A woman whose 
daughter had been on the mattress 
watching TV pulled out a photo- 
graph of another child, who she 
said had died in the bombing. 

The sight of that Iraqi woman, 
with three children lying in the 
hospital from wounds and one 
dead, brought Leah Wilson- 
Hartgrove to tears. 

"There was nothing we could 
really say," her husband said. 
"But it was important just to be 
there with them." 



One man Jonathan Wilson- 
Hartgrove met in the hospital 
pointed to his injured son. He said 
the man asked him to look at his 
son and explain how this could be 
called liberation. 

"If this is democracy, you can 
keep it," the man told him. "If we 
don't have our families left when 
the new regime begins, it isn't 
worth it." 

The Wilson-Hartgroves said the 
most frightening aspect of the trip 
was being in their hotel and hear- 
ing the bombs, knowing that one 
could hit their building and not 
being able to do anything about it. 
On their last night in Baghdad, 
Leah Wilson-Hartgrove heard the 
high-pitched whine of an incom- 
ing missile. She covered her head 
with a pillow to protect her 
eardrums. 

Once she heard the explosion, 
she felt a wave of relief, knowing 
she had survived. But then she 
immediately began to wonder 
whether anyone was hit. 

What surprised them most about 
the city under siege were the 
scenes of normal daily life that 
continued despite the war - a man 
plowing his field, children play- 
ing soccer, and Iraqis cleaning 
their cars after a dust storm.

EDITORIAL, TERI CATTAU 
College Town" 



Clarion, Pennsylvania is not like 
every other town in Pa., but of 
course you already know that. I 
know the most obvious difference 
here is the weather, but, Clarion is 
different to me for other reasons. 

This is the first town where I 
have lived by myself. 

At home I have lived on the 
same street, in the same house 
with the same neighbors my 
whole life. I appreciate this stabil- 
ity, but everyone needs a chance 
to make it on their own. This is 
the opportunity Clarion present- 
ed, four years ago. 

I came here not knowing how to 
get to my dorm to move in. After 
living here for eight semesters 
and one summer I can now easily 
navigate around the back streets 
of town and the surrounding 



areas. I believe I have made 
Clarion my own. 
Another distinguishing feature of 
Clarion is the "college town" 
landmarks around town. It's not 
uncommon to see living room fur- 
niture being used as lawn furni- 
ture or even to have a lifeguard 
chair in your front yard. 

As strange and unsightly as this 
may be to some, it's almost com- 
forting to me. All this atmosphere 
makes me feel like I'm really a 
part of something. 

People always talk about the 
crazy and unusual things they did 
when they were in college. I know 
some day I will be able to tell my 
children and grandchildren my 
own stories. 

Now, don't misunderstand me, I 
take my college education seri- 



OPt/UtON 



ously, but sometimes you just 
have to cut loose and have fun. 
College is an experience in itself, 
and you have to take full advan- 
tage of the opportunities. The 
four, or five, years you spend in 
college are years you will never 
get back. 

The friends and memories you 
make during this time are ones 
that will never leave you. 1 always 
remember the quote, "I didn't 
come to college to find my hus- 
band, I came to find my brides- 
maids." Luckily, I foundboth. 

High school could never com- 
pare to my years at Clarion 
University. I have learned so 
much, both academically and 
socially. These have been the best 
years of my life. As I return next 
fall to Clarion University as a 
graduate student, I hope that the 
memories will continue. 

I am anxious to eventually move 
on with with my life, but I will 
never forget the things I have 
learned here. These are the things 
that have made me the person that 
I am. I thank everyone who has 
been a part of my college experi- 
ence. 

My one wish for everyone read-

close personal friend at a

Letter to the Editor 



ultimate imm< 



Dear Editor, 

Yes. "War is the ultimate immorali- 
ty" in every conceivable circum- 
stance. 1 never hoped for agreement 
from the Mr. Gerows of this planet 
who typically descend to fallacious 
labeling of all opponents as "liberal, 
socialist, Marxists and on-world-over 
fans." Not surprisingly, Gerow twice 
attributes "hatred" to those who dis- 
agree with his rigid views. 

Despite Gerow's wildly ridiculous 
assumption, my opposition to Bush's 
war is an issue entirely separate and 
distinct from my political disapproval 



of this illegitimate appointee to Al 
Gore's White House, or his party. 

My opposition is to a needless, 
aggressive, pre-emptive (not in 
response to attack) imperialistic war, 
aside from George W. and his nega- 
tivistic program. The war is waged 
against the Iraqi people and our troops 
who now die and suffer. 

This position is consistent with my 
earlier vote and support for President 
Johnson's (a Democrat) domestic pro- 
gram. I differed strongly as Clarion 
County's most active and vocal oppo- 
nent of the needless and hypocritical 



Vietnam War, which took 58,000 
Usonian and 2-3 million Asian lives. 
I voted for a third-party candidate in 
1968 rather than support Johnson's 
Vice President, Hubert Humphrey. I 
also opposed Truman's (a Democrat) 
Korean War. 

Gerow and other right-wing sup- 
porters of the invasion of Iraq (called 
"Attack on Iraq" by Canadian 
Broadcasting Corp.) regularly con- 
demn and flog the voices of informed 
and intelligent Hollywood anti-war 
critics as "morons." The inference is 
that they, and we, should be silent,

discounted or denied the right to 
speak or protest. 

Their trivial harangues are poorly 
disguised diversions to escape the 
powerful voices or competent anti- 
war critics, notably scholars, religious 
leaders of all faiths, public figures and 
world leaders including Noam 
Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Richard 
Falk, Colman McCarthy, Jim 
Hightower, Senator Bryd, Governor 
Dean, Nelson Mandela, the Pope, 
Jacques Chriac and Robin Cook who 
resigned in protest from Tony Blair's 
cabinet. 

Gerow resents the exercise of free- 
dom or speech by dissenters. He 
utterly fails to comprehend that the 
freedom is needless for go-along 
majorities, but essential to prevent 
suppression or minorities and their 
views. Bill Moyers reminds us (on 
PBS's NOW), "Standing up to gov- 
ernment can mean standing up for you 
country." 

Gerow ignored the facts when he 
questioned the lack of protest at CUP 
during the Clinton era. There was lit- 
tle time for protests to evolve in as 
much as Clinton's military endeavors 
developed quickly and without long 
times for military buildups. 

Those ventures had some human 
rights objectives and strove to prevent 
some genocide. Each had U.N. sup- 
port, or unlike the Iraqi War, had no 
U.N. opposition. All but one were 
European struggles, supported by 
western European nations. 

Personally I did not support much 
of Clinton's watered down 
Republican programs. Nor did I par- 
ticularly approve of his limited mili- 
tary actions. 

Gerow once again unfairly attacked 
faculty who organized "last semes- 
ter's 'forum' on war in Iraq." It was, 
however, a commendable and suc- 
cessful effort that represented the best 
of faculty responsibility to provide 



meaningful discussion on significant 
issues. It was an actual forum with 
widespread presentation of evidence 
and views. 

Isn't that what we hear, especially 
now, read in our histories and publica- 
tions and see on the telly over and 
over again? Where has he been for 
many years and when did his senses 
cease to function? 

Gerow maintains that 75 percent of 
Americans approve of the war. 
Gallup's latest poll shows 70 percent. 
Those figures would be much lower 
had the Bushites not mislead us with 
lies and propaganda into disbelieving 
that Saddam Hussein had ties and 
connections with Sept. 11 and Al 
Qaeda terrorists. Truth is indeed the 
first casualty of war, and build up to 
war. 

More significant are the worldwide 
populations, which overwhelmingly 
oppose this war by percentages rang- 
ing form 70 to 90 percent. Those peo- 
ple were not widely exposed to the lie 
of ties between Saddam and terror- 
ism. Incidentally, only tow other 
nations support the coalition with 
troops. 

The United States was unable to 
buy, intimidate or cajole the necessary 
nine of fifteen votes for passage of a 
U.N. war resolution. Had it passed, 
Russia, France and China were pre- 
pared to cast vetoes or abstain. 

Jonathan Schell of The Nation has 
noted that "Former friends of America 
have turned into rivals or foes. The 
United States may be about to win 
Iraq. It has already lost the world." 

Populations across the globe, 
according to polls, believe the United 
States is a much greater threat to 
peace than any other power. So, 
where next, Syria, Iran, Columbia, 
North Korea? 

Sincerely, 
Ken Emerick

Eclectic Vision debutes at Michelle's 



by Jeannette Good 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 

"They're pretty much the only 
group like this you're going to see 
in Clarion," said jazz fan Dana 
Aldrich of Michelle's Cafe. "It's 
music that a lot of people would- 
n't hear otherwise." 

At 11 p.m., Jazz band Eclectic 
Vision sits in the very back of Eat 
N Park with friends, eating and 
talking after their first perfor- 
mance. 

The band was excited their per- 
formance went so well and 
thrilled by the audience's 
responses. . 

Consisting of primarily four 
Clarion University students, 
Eclectic Vision debuted at 8:30 
p.m. on Friday, April 4 at 
Michelle's Cafe, performing jazz 
standards, improvisation pieces 



and Dave Matthews Band covers. 
"I was sick of playing by 
myself," Brad Anders, a general 
management major and music 
minor, who plays the drums 
explained about why he chose to 
participate in Eclectic Vision. 

Other band members include 
Bill Henry, sophomore music 
business and education major, on 
the drums, Robert Harris, senior 
music education major, adding a 
jazzy feel with alto and soprano 
saxophones and Jason Nestlerode, 
sophomore music education 
major, playing guitar (although 
saxophone is his major instru- 
ment) and doing vocals. 

For the highlight of their perfor- 
mance, Eclectic Vision performed 
"Ants Marching" by Dave 
Matthews Band, preceded by an 
original introduction they refer to 
as "Six Eight." 



They 're pretty much 
the only group like 
this you 're going to 
see in Clarion . 99 

-Dana Aldrich 



Henry began on drums while 
Anders on bass guitar, Nestlerode 
on guitar and Robert Harris on 
soprano saxophone joined in 
sequentially. 

Then the band broke into a ren- 
dition of "Ants Marching" with 
solos from bass guitar and sopra- 
no sax. 

During the saxophone solo, 
Harris received much applause as 
he filled the room with music. 
"Having people clap for you while 
you are playing is a really good 



feeling," said Harris. 

Music major Luke Zacherl 
joined in with his violin, and grad- 
uate music major Kevin Roessner 
performed with his trumpet. 

"You can close your eyes and get 
into it," said environmental biolo- 
gy sophomore Holly Sue Allen, 
"You can hear it better that way. I 
feel it a lot more." She danced 
around in her vintage clothes 
throughout the performance. 

Allen also commented that she 
likes the jazz environment at 
Michelle's Cafe. 

"It was great to see such talent 
from the music department go out 
into the community and make a 
solid connection with the public 
as well as the students," said 
musical theater junior Mandy Joe. 
In Eat N Park, the band dis- 
cussed the crowd that came to 
their first performance. 



"I actually expected more peo- 
ple," Henry said. "I saw people 
dancing, and that was awesome." 

Nevertheless, Nestlerode said, 
"I'd rather play for forty people 
who liked it than a thousand who 
didn't." 

The band did agree the crowd 
enjoyed their performance. 

"Their music sounded amazing. 
They are a very talented group of 
musicians," said Clarion 
University music education alum- 
nae Sara Clement. 

"I'd like to hear them play in 
down town Clarion every night," 
said Jenn Lander of Michelle's 
Cafe. "There's a lot of talent, and 
we're thrilled they asked to play 
here." 

Eclectic Vision hopes to perform 
again at Michelle's Cafe, local 
bars and outside at the park for 
Spring Fling. 



Movie Review 



"The Core" Rated PG- 13 - 2 hrs. 15 mins. - 2 stars (out of 4) 



~^~ 



"Core" not as solid as once thought 



by Brandon Schadle 
Clarion Call Movie Reviewer 

It's that time again! The world has just 
moments to spare and once again, the fate of 
the world rests in the hands of a select group 
of individuals, each possessing some unique 
talent that will certainly save the planet from 
obliteration. 

With all the end of the world movies com- 
ing out these days, it seems that we are get- 
ting tired of waiting for it to happen and left 
it to the hands of Hollywood producers to 
quench our impatience. 

In addition, the themes for the most of the 
end-of-the-world flicks hitting the screen 
seem to focus around a natural disaster that 
can be averted by the hands of humankind. 
Needless to say, "The Core" focuses on such 
a disaster that happens deep within the center 
of Earth. 

At first, we are led to believe that the 
mishaps occurring around the planet, like 
birds dropping out of the sky and people sud- 
denly dying on the streets, are just fluke, ran- 



dom events in Earth's history. 

As the story progresses, however, we learn 
that the center of Earth has stopped spinning, 
thus, causing the magnetic field around Earth 
to fade away. Without its protection, the sun 
will cook the Earth. 

Fortunately for us, Dr. Josh Keyes, played 
by Aaron Eckhart ("Erin Brokavich," "The 
Pledge") is able to figure out what is causing 
the problem. 

Joining Dr. Keyes is his longtime friend Dr. 
Serge Leveque, portrayed by Tcheky Karyo 
("Kiss of the Dragon," "The Patriot"). 
Leveque's role in the storyline isn't that 
prominent at first, but later we find that his 
work proves to be crucial towards the mis- 
sion of reviving the Earth's core. 

While these two characters carry us through 
the opening of the story, it is not until we 
meet Dr. Conrad Zimsky, played by Stanly 
Tucci ("Big Trouble," "Sidewalks of New 
York"), and Dr. Ed Brazzelton, depicted by 
Delroy Lindo ("Gone in 60 Seconds"), that 
solid ideas start coming together on how to 
fix the situation. 



Zimsky and Brazzelton have a long and 
competitive history together and would 
rather be on opposite ends of the earth. 
However, it is through Zimsky's and 
Brazzelton's collaboration of inventions and 
theories that a machine is devised to carry a 
team to the center of Earth. 

Ultimately, it is through the craftsmanship 
of these four scientists that a tactical plan is 
surmised on how to save the Earth from 
destroying itself. 

Before we head deep into the core of 
things, let's take a bite out of the crust of this 
unusual story. First of all, just by reading the 
list of pivotal characters, we get the sense 
that only the supremely intelligent beings of 
planet Earth are the ones capable of saving 
Earth from annihilation. 

This trait does not seem to be random char- 
acter development from the pens of 
Hollywood screenwriters. Throughout the 
course of big-budget apocalyptic films, only 
the intellectually elite class of humans is por- 
trayed as the possible saviors of Earth. This 
discrimination of humans puts a big dent in

the morale of human perseverance through- 
out the ages. 

So, if the smart guys can't figure things out, 
then we might as well call it a day and start 
digging our graves. 

Heading back to the core of things, we 
couldn't have a worldwide disaster without 
the United States government stepping in to 
show its superiority in fixing things. 

The government is represented by General 
Thomas Purcell, played by Richard Jenkins 
("Changing Lanes," "The Man Who Wasn't 
There"). Purcell is rather arrogant and 
deceiving, but Hollywood has branded top- 
notch government employees to be that way, 
so he fits the bill.

To me, fashion is an outward 
physical manifestation of the 

inner-self Its how you 
show yourself to the world. 99 

-Pat Hannay 



FASHION & POP CULTURE COLUNMIST, PAT HANNAY 
Pat Culture - "Misunderstood" 



I'm back again serving up another heap- 
ing helping of smart just for you. In this 
installment I'm going to talk about some- 
thing a little deeper than just clothing fash- 
ion. There are two looks out there that 
carry more meaning than just what you 
wear. 

Time to wax the philosophical. To me, 
fashion is an outward physical manifesta- 
tion of the inner-self. It's how you show 
yourself to the world. 

Whether you realize it or not, what you 
wear is very much a part of who you are, 
no matter how shallow you or others might 
think it might be. Clothing + attitude = 



you. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there is 
depth to fashion. 

The two styles that I mentioned are punk 
and goth. For all of you people out there 
that have always said "Ew, that's so weird" 
or "Why do they have to dress all stupid 
like that?" It's time to get educated. 

We'll start with punk. Forgive me if any 
of my history is off. 

Punk was born in the mid-1970s to raise 
hell and incite change. They saw that the 
world sucked and raised a middle finger to 
it all. 

Noble and rude: now that sounds like 
some good rebellion. Music and pure atti- 



tude drove the movement forward. Bands 
like The Ramones and Sex Pistols were the 
kings of punk. 

Some people say punk is dead, but it's 
not. Punk is only dead to people who don't 
know where it is. 

Everyone's idea of punk is big pointy 
mohawks, leather jackets and spikes. Yeah 
that can be punk but a former roommate of 
mine wore normal jeans and t-shirts yet 
was very much punk. 

Punk is all in the attitude and world 
vision. Punk is about change and rebellion. 
From outlook on the work stems the punk 
look. Fashion can express a person's indi- 
vidual beliefs whether they are political, 
social or something else. 

Blink 182 and Avril Lavigne are not 
punk. Wearing "the clothes" and listening 
to "the music" does not make someone 
truly punk. Don't be a poser. 

Goth is another "style" that is quite mis- 
understood. Again, goth can be just some- 
thing you wear or it can be a real outlook 
on life. 

Goth is dark; goth is moody; goth is 
intense. Gothic mentality deals in depth 
with the dark corners of the human mind 
and in what people cast aside as too deep 
or too dark. 
It celebrates the intense sensuality, deep 



fascination, and beauty of enduring pain. 
Don't read into that; it means what it says. 
Life isn't all sunshine and rainbows. 
While others lament their troubles and 
despise the hard times, goth revels in it and 
accepts it as a very real part of life. You 
could consider it a form of super-realism. 

Goth isn't so much a social movement 
like punk as it is an artistic mentality. It's a 
lifestyle choice. 

Writing an article about it may sound 
counter-productive, but Goth strongly 
resists stereotype and labeling. There are 
just far too many kinds of people and types 
involved therein: romantic, mopey, fetish, 
perky, raver, geek, vampire and pagan. 

While punk is ideological, goth is emo- 
tional. The diversity in the culture makes it 
just too spread out for its own label to real- 
ly mean anything. 

Marilyn Manson is not goth. He's shock 
rock. 

I am neither punk nor goth, but when I 
see people get labeled or put down because 
of what someone else doesn't know about 
them, I get angry. 

Instead of shutting people down, try to 
find out about them or talk to them. Learn 
and better yourself - and look good to 
yourself while you're doing it! 

Don't forget to be yourself.

by Charlie Pino 
Clarion Call Music Reviewer 

After years of wreaking havoc 
upon the music industry, leaving 
destruction and millions of ador- 
ing, prepubescent adolescents in its 
wake, the machine of teen pop 
cooled off a little last year. 

And it was time for musical 
zealots everywhere to start naming 
the next big thing. Thus, the so- 
called "garage-rock revival" was 
bom. The media frenzy surround- 
ing bands such as The Strokes was 
at first subdued before it developed 
into a circus, boasting ridiculous 
claims and printing bombastic 



headlines such as "Rock is Back!" 
The White Stripes, made up of 
Jack White on guitar and Meg 
White on drums, (they've always 
felt that bass isn't necessary) knew 
that rock had never really left, and 
stood around with confused looks 
on their faces as they, along with 
others, were hailed as "saviors." 

The undeniable question 
remained: How would they follow 
up last year's breakthrough album, 
"White Blood Cells," which gained 
them international attention? 

Thankfully, they chose to ignore 
the question. On "Elephant," which 
was recorded in London last year 
on a dated eight-track from 1963, 



Jack and Meg rock with more 
spontaneity and enthusiasm than 
you and your friends in your 
mom's basement. 

The album's menacing opener 
and first single, "Seven Nation 
Army," begins with something 
very unexpected: a bassline. 
(Although as it turns out, it is only 
Jack playing his guitar through an 
effects pedal.) 

"I'm gonna fight them off/A 
seven nation army couldn't hold 
me back," he sings defiantly as 
Meg provides a steady heartbeat 
with her bass drum.

Rockl White Stripes rock on, 
from Page 8. 

Here," Jack multi-tracks his wail- 
ing vocals during the chorus, 
sounding like Queen, then tunes it 
down during the verse, quietly 
articulating pissed-off yet com- 
pletely rational sentiments worthy 
of a Blonde on Blonde-era Bob 
Dylan. 

As always, the album's lyrics are 
full of the cheeky, self-deprecating 
humor of Jack White, the most 



charismatic frontman since 
Freddie Mercury. 

Jack White's introspective lyrics 
often deal with his insecurities, 
and you believe him, but other 
times, you don't know whether to 
take him seriously or not. This is 
actually all part of the fun, though, 
and takes nothing away from the 
album. 

Meg sings twice throughout the 
album, for the entirety of the 
haunting "In the Cold, Cold 
Night," and then once again on the 



album's final song, "It's True That 
We Love Each Other." 

The latter is a happy, country 
threesome with Jack and British 
singer Holly Golighty, in which 
Jack plays acoustic guitar, and the 
three tradeoff ridiculous lines. 

Holly sings, "Jack give me some 
money to pay my bills," to which 
Jack answers, "All the dough I 
give you, Holly, you've been using

of searing, yet poppy blues origi- 
nals and covers, something the 
White Stripes left out of last year's 
"White Blood Cells." 

Thankfully, they brought some of 
that back for "Elephant." 

"Ball and Biscuit" sounds 
drenched in sexuality without ever 
mentioning it once and "Girl..." 
features one of Jack's finest raspy 
and snarling vocal performances 
ever. 

The instrumentation is pretty 
much the same: Jack on guitar, 
piano, and vocals and Meg on 
drums. There are a few piano and 
acoustic ballads, but for the most 
part, Jack's guitar work is as raw as 



ever. 

After one listen to "Elephant," 
it's obvious that Jack and Meg did 
not let a little fame and money 
affect the artistic direction they 
were headed. The fact that they far 
outshine even the second best in 
their category with only two band 
members just by the sheer skill and 
force of their songwriting is more 
than a little intriguing. 

It makes you wonder what they 
could do with a "full" band, yet at 
the same time, you don't want 
them to change. Saviors of music 
they are not. Jack White is just a 
great songwriter, and that's really 
what it's all about. 



Corel Par amount's new save-the-world flick, from Page 7. 

Rounding up the crew of saviors is Colonel Robert Iverson, played by 
actor Bruce Greenwood ("Thirteen Days," "Rules of Engagement") and 
Major Rebecca Childs, actress Hilary Swank ("Boys Don't Cry," 
"Insomnia"). 

Iverson and Childs were astronauts until they crashed a space shuttle in 
Los Angles. Then they become the pilots of the rig that will take them for 
the ride of their lives. 

Last, but not least, is Rat, the technical support of the whole operation. 
Rat, played by DJ Quails ("The New Guy," "Road Trip"), is one of the 
world's foremost computer scientists, but he seems to find more trouble 
with the law than good use for his talents. Much like a real rat, he scav- 
enges for places to hack into and wreak havoc. 

His quick mind and hot pocket snacks keep the crew of the drilling rig 
plugged into the task at hand. While guiding the crew, he also has the task 
of making sure the core of Earth's problem stays miles away from the 
planet's populous. 

Although "The Core" digs deep into special effects production, the story 
barely breaks the crust of what good stories are made. After being intro- 
duced to all of the characters, we have a fairly good understanding of 
where the story is going and who is going to settle for early retirement in 
the core. 

If you're into movies for their special effects, "The Core" is for you. If, 
however, you like a story that digs into the center of your imagination, this 
one will only leave a hole in your wallet.

To me, fashion is an outward 
physical manifestation of the 

inner-self It !s how you 
show yourself to the world. 99 

-Pat Hannay 



FASHION A I'OPC I III RK (OI.1NMISI. PVI H \NN^ 
Pat CultuiT - "Misunderstood" 



I'm hack again serving up another heap- 
ing helping o\~ smart just tor you. In this 
installment Tin going to talk ahout some- 
thing a little deeper than just clothing fash- 
ion. There are two looks out there that 
carry more meaning than just what you 
wear. 

Time to wax the philosophical. To me, 
fashion is an outward physical manifesta- 
tion o\' the inner-self. It's how you show 
yourself to the world. 

Whether you realize it or not, what you 
wear is very much a part of who you are, 
no matter how shallow you or others might 
think it might be. Clothing + attitude = 



you. Yes. ladies and gentlemen, there is 
depth to fashion. 

The two styles that I mentioned are punk 
and goth. For all of you people out there 
that have always said "Ew, that's so weird" 
or "Why do they have to dress all stupid 
like that?" It's time to get educated. 

We'll start with punk. Forgive me if any 
of my history is off. 

Punk was born in the mid-1970s to raise 
hell and incite change. They saw that the 
world sucked and raised a middle finger to 
it all. 

Noble and rude: now that sounds like 
some good rebellion. Music and pure atti- 



tude drove the movement forward. Bands 
like The Ramones and Sex Pistols were the 
kings of punk. 

Some people say punk is dead, hut it's 
not. Punk is onK dead to people who don't 
know where it is. 

Everyone's idea o\ punk is big points 
mohawks, leather jackets and spikes. Yeah 
that can be punk but a former roommate of 
mine wore normal jeans and t-shirts yet 
was very much punk. 

Punk is all in the attitude and world 
vision. Punk is about change and rebellion. 
From outlook on the work stems the punk 
look. Fashion can express a person's indi- 
vidual beliefs whether they are political, 
social or something else. 

Blink 1X2 and Avril Lavigne are not 
punk. Wearing "the clothes" and listening 
to "the music" does not make someone 
truly punk. Don't be a poser. 

Goth is another "style" that is quite mis- 
understood. Again, goth can be just some- 
thing you wear or it can be a real outlook 
on life. 

Goth is dark; goth is moody; goth is 
intense. Gothic mentality deals in depth 
with the dark corners of the human mind 
and in what people cast aside as too deep 
or too dark. 

It celebrates the intense sensuality, deep 



fascination, and beauty of enduring pain. 
Don't read into that; it means what it says. 
Life isn't all sunshine and rainbows. 
While others lament their troubles and 
despise the hard times, goth revels in it and 
accepts it as a very real part o\' life. You 
could consider it a form of super-realism. 

(ioth isn't so much a social movement 
like punk as it is an artistic mentality. It's a 
lifestyle choice. 

Writing an article about it may sound 
counter-productive, but Goth strongly 
resists stereotype and labeling. There are 
just far too many kinds of people and types 
involved therein: romantic, mopey, fetish. 
perky, raver, geek, vampire and pagan. 

While punk is ideological, goth is emo- 
tional. The diversity in the culture makes it 
just too spread out for its own label to real- 
ly mean anything. 

Marilyn Manson is not goth. He's shock 
rock. 

I am neither punk nor goth, but when I 
see people get labeled or put down because 
of what someone else doesn't know about 
them. I get angry. 

Instead of shutting people down, try to 
find out about them or talk to them. Learn 
and better yourself -- and look good to 
yourself while you're doing it! 

Don't forget to be yourself.

Music Review |^; White S tripes - "Elephant" 



4.5 stars (out of 5) 






Stripes prove rock never left 



i 



Me 







■|CJ 



by Charlie Pino 
Clarion Call Music Reviewer 

After years of wreaking havoc 
upon the music industry, leaving 
destruction and millions of ador- 
ing, prepubescent adolescents in its 
wake, the machine of teen pop 
cooled off a little last year. 

And it was time for musical 
zealots everywhere to start naming 
the next big thing. Thus, the so- 
called "garage-rock revival" was 
bom. The media frenzy surround- 
ing bands such as The Strokes was 
at first subdued before it developed 
into a circus, boasting ridiculous 
claims and printing bombastic 



headlines such as "Rock is Back!" 
The White Stripes, made up of 
Jack White on guitar and Meg 
White on drums, (they've always 
felt that bass isn't necessary) knew 
that rock had never really left, and 
stood around with confused looks 
on their faces as they, along with 
others, were hailed as "saviors." 

The undeniable question 
remained: How would they follow 
up last year's breakthrough album 
"White Blood Cells." which gained 
them international attention? 

Thankfully, they chose to ignore 
the question. On "Elephant," which 
was recorded in London last year 
on a dated eight-track from 1963, 



Jack and Meg rock with more 
spontaneity and enthusiasm than 
you and your friends in your 
mom's basement. 

The album's menacing opener 
and first single, "Seven Nation 
Army." begins with something 
very unexpected: a bassline. 
(Although as it turns out, it is only 
Jack playing his guitar through an 
effects pedal.) 

"I'm gonna fight them off/ A 
seven nation army couldn't hold 
me back." he sings defiantly as 
Meg provides a steady heartbeat 
with her bass drum. 

On "There's No Home For You

Here." Jack multi-tracks his wail- 
ing vocals during the chorus, 
sounding like Queen, then tunes it 
down during the verse, quietly 
articulating pissed-off yet com- 
pletely rational sentiments worthy 
oi' a Blonde on Blonde-era Bob 
Dylan. 

As always, the album's lyrics are 
full of the cheeky, self-deprecating 
humor of Jack White, the most 



charismatic frontman since 
Freddie Mercury. 

Jack White's introspective lyrics 
often deal with his insecurities, 
and you believe him. but other 
times, you don't know whether to 
take him seriously or not. This is 
actually all part of the fun, though, 
and lakes nothing away from the 
album. 

Meg sings twice throughout the 
album, for the entirety of the 
haunting "In the Cold, Cold 
Night." and then once again on the 



album's final song. "It's True That 
We Love Each Other." 

The latter is a happy, country 
threesome with Jack and British 
singer 1 lolly (iolighty. in which 
Jack plays acoustic guitar, and the 
three tradeoff ridiculous lines. 

Holly sings, "Jack give me some 
money to pay my bills," to which 
Jack answers, "All the dough I 
give you. Holly, you've been using 
all the pain pills."

Cultures 



Lent- what you don't know 



by Bethany Bankovich 
Circulation Manager 

About one month ago, many of 
us whipped out the masks and 
beads to celebrate the notorious 
festival of Mardi Gras. Mardi 
Gras, Shrove Tuesday, Carnival, 
or Fasching serves as the last 
party before the solemn season of 
Lent. 

The Christian celebration of 
Lent is a 40-day period before 
Easter where practitioners 
"retreat into the wilderness with 
Jesus," according to the Holy 
Bible New International Version. 

This means that believers prac- 
tice a period of soul-searching 
and repentance. 

According to www.ken- 
collins.com. Lent is also a time of 
reflection, and owning up to 
one's mistakes and shortcomings. 
During this time, Christians try 
and emulate the life of Jesus 
Christ by simulating the sorrow 
and solitude of his life. 

Lent also serves as preparatory 
time for the Easter holiday, when 
Christians celebrate the death and 
resurrection of Christ. 

According to the same website, 
in most churches, Lent begins on 
Ash Wednesday (which falls on 
March 5) and concludes on Easter 
eve (April 19). 

In the Catholic Church, Lent 
subsides on Holy Thursday (April 
17, this year), and in the Eastern 
Orthodox Church, Lent does not 
begin until Clean Monday (the 
seventh Monday before Easter). 

Those dates do not compute to 
equal 40 days. 




Since Sunday is the day of 
Resurrection, when Jesus rose 
from the dead and ascended into 
heaven, most Christians skip over 
Sundays when counting the days. 

Eastern Orthodox Churches go 
by a different system when calcu- 
lating the length of their Lent, 
known as the Great Lent. For 
them. Lent always begins on 
Clean Monday and ends on the 
Friday before Palm Sunday. Lent 
is relaxed on the weekends to 
honor the Sabbath (Saturday) and 
Resurrection (Sunday). 

During their time of repentance, 
many Christians choose to fast. 
Fasting is a spiritual discipline 
that does not involve starvation 
or dehydration. 

The practice was actually creat- 
ed during the Middle Ages in 
Europe. Each week, the church 
would count at least one day 
(usually three or four depending 
on the area) where no meat could 
be eaten. 

This is also how the pre-Lenten 
celebration of Carnival, which 
means "farewell to meat," began. 
According to 

www.coquinaria.nl.com, eating 
fish was permitted during the "no 



meat" day. But why fish? 

During the Biblical Flood, 
meant to punish mankind for their 
sins, the world was covered by 
water and all fish survived. This 
meant that fish were free of sin, 
thus, their consumption on a fast- 
ing day was deemed non-sinful. 

Many Christians also choose to 
give up an indulgence of some 
sort during Lent as part of their 
fasting. This can be a food, activ- 
ity, habit, practice, attitude or 
belief. Many choose to give up a 
junk food that they absolutely 
love. 

At the end of the fast, (Easter 
Sunday) the sacrificed item can 
be retrieved and indulged upon 
once more. 

This practice led to the creation 
of the Easter basket one receives 
on Easter Sunday, which is usual- 
ly full of the candy one gave up 
during Lent. 

According to Rev. Kenneth 
Collins, Lent is often avoided due 
to the solemn nature one must 
adopt in order to fully repent. 
Lent is not a joyful or uplifting 
time, but neither is most of life. 

By retreating into themselves, 
and sorting out the important 
areas of life, many Christians 
learn how to cope with hardship 
by practicing management during 
Lent, said Collins. By fasting, 
and giving up an indulgence dur- 
ing Lent, Christians also train 
themselves to be able to handle 
situations of need. 

Luckily, the season only lasts 
for 40 days, and regular living 
can be resumed after the Easter 
celebration. 



UAB gears entertainment to all audiences 



by Tai Stevenson 
Contributing Writer 



When is there ever gong to be 
a concert at Clarion that is geared 
toward African Americans? 
African Americans who attend 
Clarion University often ponder 
this question. 

"The UAB is open to every- 
one," said Ryan Baptiste, 
University Activities Board con- 
cert chair. 

Baptiste, a senior marketing 
major at Clarion University is 
responsible for overseeing the 
budget, contract and legal 



aspects of the concerts that come 
to Clarion. 

Baptiste said a committee 
selects who comes to Clarion and 
the committee is open to anyone 
who wants to join; the only 
requirement is that you fill out an 
application. 

When selecting a performer, 
the UAB concert committee must 
consider how much money the 
UAB has to spend on the groups, 
who will be touring at the time 
and also the availability of 
Tippin Gymnasium. 

On average, the Concert 
Committee brings two concerts 



per year if there is enough 
money. 

"The UAB Concert Committee 
Chair position will be open this 
fall," said Baptiste. 

During Campus Fest Spring 
2003, the hip-hop group The 
Roots, known for their hit song 
"Break You Off," will be per- 
forming. Comedy Central's 
Dave Chapelle will perform his 
stand-up show 

"Blackzilla:Stomping to a Town 
Near You May 5. Some past 
groups that performed at Clarion 
University include Toby Keith, 
George Clinton, and Live.

Jones: Why is the BSU important to the African American student 
body as well as any other students who wanted to join? 
Crawley: Not to say that Clarion is not a place for African Americans, 
but it's hard for some of us to adapt to this rural environment. Some 
African Americans are not comfortable around different cultures at 
first. The BSU gives everyone a place to go have fun and feel com- 
fortable- We give the students things to do that Clarion does not pro- 
vide. Soon we hope to open their eyes up to more diversity on cam- 
pus. 

Jones: What programs have the BSU done so far this year? 
Crawley: We started with a program called reach out and give back, 
a mentoring program- We had a Mardi Gras party, which was a lot of 
fun. The BSU sponsored a trip to Philadelphia for the Black Art Expo. 
Students were able to make a lot of connection and bring a lot of 
African American art back to campus, something that the area does 
not provide. We also co-sponsered a Minority Student Services pro- 
gram about Muhammad Alt called "The Greatest." 
Jones: How does the BSU promote leadership on campus? 
Crawley: We show students that anybody can be a leader. We're real- 
ly down to earth, if you look at Mar'y Gavin, or myself you'll see 
young black people in leadership roles, handling events. We're not 
trying to force freshmen and sophomores into leadership roles just yet 
because they're still adjusting to college life. We want to show them 
that they can do this once they get their priorities straight and get a feel 
for campus life. 

Jones: How big of an impact does the BSU have on this campus? 
Crawley: Our name won't be on the list of "Thank You's" but BSU 
members Renee Porter and myself had a big impact on the upcoming 
events on campus. We stuck to our guns and proposed our point of 
view in the right way. At the end of the semester The Roots and Dave 
Chapelle are coming up to give a concert. If they would' ve brought up 
whom they wanted to bring up, some students would have been left 
out and may have been very unhappy. 
Jones: What group are you trying to impact the most? 
Crawley: We want it to be the freshman population. There's a big gap 
between freshman and the seniors on campus. We want to show them 
we like to have fun, but you have to have your priorities straight. You 
can't go to the party if your homework is not done. But juniors and 
seniors have been the most vocal on campus. 
Jones: Do you think students could be doing more? 
Crawley: I believe everybody could be doing more. I don't want to 
run for president next year, but it looks like I might have to. Our con- 
stitution states that you have to be on the board for a year, everybody 
on the board is about to graduate. There are some juniors and sopho- 
mores, but I don't think that they are ready to take such a big step. I 
also think seniors get the mentality that they're not going to beg any- 
one to come out. We need to be a bit more understanding. 
Jones; What are some of the programs you have planned in the 
future? 

Crawley: Honestly we are just starting most of our programs this 
semester. Coming up we have Black Arts Week, which includes a tal- 
ent show, a trip to Six Flags, a scavenger hunt, casino night, and of 
course the Cabaret. We are also looking for other organizations to help 
us with Black Arts Week from April 28 through May 4.

Women's Rugby team 
gets back on track 



by Brianna Goodwin 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 

After starting the spring 
2003 season with two consec- 
utive losses against the 
Pittsburgh Angels Women's 
Club and Shippensburg 
University, the Clarion 
Women's Rugby team man- 
aged to get back on the win- 
ning track. 

The team was back in 
action at the Pittsburgh 
Classic Rugby Tournament. 

Clarion's A-side faced 
Slippery Rock University in 
the first round and won con- 
vincingly 32-0. 

Tries were scored by fly- 
half Ashley Good, who had 
two, flanker Heidi Lappi, 
wing Jenni Stepien, scrum- 
half Steph Sherant, and 8- 
man Karen Pentz. Jess 
Sobota added one conversion. 
The second round match 
placed Clarion against IUP. 
Clarion continued its winning 
ways with a 17-0 victory. 

Tries were scored by out- 
side center Becky Kukla, 
Steph Sherant and Jess 
Sobota. The victory placed 
Clarion in the Women's 
Division final agains West 
Virginia University. 

The first half of the match 
was a scoreless contest with 
neither side gaining an 
advantage. In the second half 
the Clarion offense began to 
drive the ball deep into WVU 
territory. 

Clarion dominated the sec- 
ond half and was unable to 
drive the ball over the WVU 
try line in the final seconds. 

Regulation ended with a 
0-0 tie. The first sudden 
death overtime was again 
played deep in WVU territory 
with Clarion maintaining 
possession but still unable to 
punch through the WVU line. 



The first ot ended again in a 
scoreless tie. 

Clarion wasted little time 
in the second sudden death 
overtime when senior Heidi 
Lappi picked up the ball from 
the base of the scrum, eluded 
two WVU defenders and ran 
in for a match winning 40- 
meter try and the tournament 
championship. 

The Clarion B-side man- 
aged a respectable 1-1-1 
record at the tournament with 
a loss to the University of 
Pittsburgh, a victory against 
Pitt-Johnstown and a tie 
against Slippery Rock. 

This past weekend the 
Clarion women traveled to 
Bucknell University. 

Bucknell is a Division I 
club from the Eastern Penn 
Rugby Union. Clarion had a 
second successful weekend 
with a 27-12 victory. 
Clarion scorers were Jess 
Sobota with two tries, Steph 
Sherant, Rachel Reachard, 
and Casey Lorenzato. 
Sobota made one of five con- 
versions. 

Clarion's B-side also man- 
aged a 27-0 victory against 
the Bucknell B-side. 

The win puts Clarion's 
record at 4-2. 

This coming weekend, 
seven players from the 
Clarion Women's Rugby club 
will travel to Rockford, 
Illinois to represent the 
Allegheny Rugby Union in 
the Midwest Local Area 
Union All-Star Tournament. 

The tournament will consist 
of nine rugby unions from the 
midwest. Representing 

Clarion will be seniors Heidi 
Lappi, Steph Sherant, and 
Becky Kukla, sophmores 
Erin Alway, Jess Sobota, 
and Freshmen Casey 

Lorenzato and Jamie Unrue.

Call girl played on the same 
streets as Syracuse star 




by Stephanie DeFIorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

Monday night's NCAA 
National Championship game 
between Syracuse and Kansas 
hit home for Clarion Call 
News Editor Chrissy Meehan. 
Freshman point guard Gerry 
McNamara is from Scranton, 
Pa. - her hometown where just 
one year ago, he led Bishop 
Hannon High School to the 
PIAA Class A State 
Championship. 

Who would have ever 
thought that a year later he 
would claim the National 
Championship title? The 
hometown folks sure did. 

"More than 300 people trav- 
eled to New Orleans to. see 
him play," said Meehan. "Talk 
about a town that's proud." 

"When he (McNamara) was 
in high school, fans always 
said that he would make it big 
one day," said added. 

Meehan's hometown paper, 



The Scranton Times, has a per- 
manent space on its website 
just for highlights on 
McNamara called G-Mac cov- 
erage. 

"Since I don't always get to 
watch the games I look at the 
website to see how he's 
doing," said Meehan. 

Meehan is very proud that 
such a star is from her home- 
town. 

"The people in my town 
don't often band together," 
said Meehan. "I think it's awe- 
some that hundreds of people 
take time off work to see 
Gerry play. He has really unit- 
ed Scranton." 

, Meehan added that it will be 
interesting to see how 
McNamara's talent grows 
throughout his college career. 
"If he can score 18 points in 
the first half as a freshman, I 
can't imagine how many he 
will score by the time he is a 
senior," said Meehan. 

The world will just have to 
wait and see.

Track and Field 



School records broken and Bullman qualifies for Nationals 



by Julie Evenoski 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 



The Clarion University Track and 
Field team faced strong competition 
this past weekend at a quad meet at 
Shippensburg University. 

Schools that participated in the 
quad meet included Millersville, IUP, 
Shippensburg, and Clarion. 

The top two athletes in each event 
are taken to finals. The points are dis- 
tributed this way at the meet: first 
place gets nice points, second gets 
seven, third gets six, and so on down 
to one point for 8th place. 

The meet is good for scoring points 
for the team; however, events that have 
many individuals who can place high 
do not benefit because those that are 
not in the top two do not go to finals. 

Athletes in the events with depth 
such as the javelin and the 100-meter 
dash might not need three more throws 
or one more chance to run. 

Although Millersville and 



Shippensburg are among the top track 
teams in the PSAC, four school 
records were broken at the meet. 

Most notably was junior Carrie 
Bullman. Her throw of 143 feet and 
10 inches not only got her first place at 
the meet, but also qualified her for the 
2003 NCAA Division II National 
Meet. 

She is currently second in the PSAC 
and will be moving up in rank as the 
season continues. 

Mel Terwillinger set the 3,000-meter 
run record with a time of 10:37.17 and 
also won the 5,000 meter-run. 




mm 



Ben Chandlee/The Clarion Call 
During that race, she re-set her old JhQ c/or/on Unjvers jty track and field team stretches before practice. 



record with a time of 18:01.19. 
Bridget Sardo won the 3,000-meter 
steeplechase and broke her record time 
from last week with 11:56.27. 

The men's team had junior Dave 
Duriancik scoring second place in the 
3,000-meter steeplechase with an 
impressive time of 9:38.40 



him with a 5th place finish in a time of 
11:17. 

"We found good competition at 
Ship. Although there were a few 
injuries with relay team members cap- 
tain Colin Hawkins and freshman Dan 



Jarrett Williams placed 4th in the Alderton, they should be ready for the 
100-meter dash with a time of 11.10 next two weeks," said Coach Pat 
and Brandon Phillips was right behind Mooney. 



"These next couple of weeks should 
help us prepare for the upcoming 
PSAC meets and the Baldwin-Wallace 
Invitational. There should be close to 
thirty-five Division 1, 2, and 3 teams 
competing there," he added. 

The team will not compete this 
weekend, but will travel to IUP for an 
Easter break meet on April 19th.

One game, one night, one winner. This 
is what makes the NCAA championship 
game so much more alluring than the 
NBA finals and any slog-it-out, best-of- 
seven nonsense. One game, one night, 
one winner. 

Monday night, when Kansas and 
Syracuse locked up to decide college bas- 
ketball's big cheese of 2003, mouths 
dropped and free throws didn't. 

Freshmen made big plays and seniors 
gagged. Mayhem prevailed, as did 
Syracuse by a score of 81-78 , but only 
because nothing went the way anyone 
really planned. Who could ask for more? 
Well, Kirk Hinrich, for one. He is 
Kansas' All-America senior guard. As the 
final seconds wound down, he had made 
235 three-point shots in his college 
career. 

But he needed to make one more to tie 
the score and send the game into over- 
time. He had two chances in the last 16 
seconds, the first one a very good look 
from the top of the key. He missed both. 



Of course, the Jayhawks had practice at 
missing shots. They made only 12 of 30 
free-throw attempts, totally against their 
reputation as a solid fundamental team. 
Monday, they shot better from the field 
(43.7 percent) than from the free-throw 
line (40 percent). 

They were so off-kilter, they might as 
well have changed their nickname to the 
Hayjawks. 

One game, one night, one winner. That's 
what made those misses shots, those 
strange developments, those final sec- 
onds so electrifying. Syracuse had led by 
18 points, but let that lead escape like a 
slow leak and then missed three of four 
free-throw attempts in those last 30 sec- 
onds. 

Those misses gave Kansas the opportu- 
nity, but the Jayhawks couldn't convert, 
which was a recurring theme. Besides 
Hinrich's two attempts, guard Aaron 
Miles had a three-point chance in the left 
corner with three seconds remaining. But 
as Miles wound up and released, 
Syracuse forward Hakim Warrick flew at 
him and batted the ball out of bounds. 

That set up Hinrich's desperation 
attempt on an inbounds play, against a

Nick Collison (4) and Keith Langford (5) sit in disbelief as the seconds run 
down on the clock and Syracuse takes the title that they were so close to 
capturing, 



triple team by Syracuse. 

"We had three guys in Hinrich's face," 
Syracuse guard Billy Edelin said. "If he 
would have made that, he would have 
deserved it." 

The shot, of course, fell short. And 
within seconds, Syracuse players had 
formed the tallest orange dog pile in 
Superdome history. 

"We played the best first half we could 
play," Syracuse Coach Jim Boeheim 
said. 

"I've never had a feeling like this," said 
Syracuse freshman forward Carmelq 
Anthony, the MVP of the tournament. 

That's the sort of drama it was. The first 
half alone had more staggering twists 
than a drunk weaving down Bourbon 
Street. Nobody was who they were sup- 
posed to be. 

Syracuse was supposed to be the young 
team that might be a little awed by the 
setting, with two freshmen in the. starting 
lineup and an offense that was a little 
loosey-goosey. But Syracuse bull-rushed 
and muscled its way to the basket, time 
after time. 

Kansas' Hinrich was supposed to be the 
unflappable veteran who wouldn't be 
affected by the big stage. 



But after scoring 15 points in the first 
half alone Saturday against Marquette, he 
didn't score in the first 10 minutes 
Monday, missing his first five shots. 

Kansas, which spent Saturday afternoon 
rocketing downcourt with efficient fast 
breaks, found itself tossing the ball out of 
bounds and missing open shots. Hinrich 
and his fellow senior Ail-American, Nick 
Collison, could not dominate the way 
they usually do. 

And who was the first-half hero, 
instead? 

Remarkably, it was Syracuse freshman 
point guard Gerry McNamara, a tough lit- 
tle bruiser of a kid who made six consec- 
utive three-point shots and scored 18 
points in those first 20 minutes. The son 
•of postal workers from the smokestack- 
intensive Pennsylvania town of Scranton, 
he wound up and delivered haymaker 
after haymaker. 

Kansas would rally, of course, but ulti- 
mately couldn't recover and conquer. A 
Syracuse team that wasn't even ranked in 
the preseason top 20 found a way to get it 
done. 

In the NCAA tournament, that can hap- 
pen. That's entertainment. One game, one 
night, one winner. Syracuse.

Eagle becomes a Cardinal 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 

Clarion Call Sports Editor and 

Nick Cammuso 

Clarion Call Sports Writer 

During childhood, most of us 
probably spent a great deal of 
time looking up to role models 
and hoping that someday we 
would be like them. Many of us 
have admired famous athletes 
who make it to the "big leagues" 
looking for that chance in the 
future. 

Reggie Wells grew up watching 
the Dallas Cowboys and Emmitt 
Smith, hoping that in the future he 
could step into those big shoes 
and play at the professional level. 

Fortunately for Wells the wait- 
ing and the hoping are over. Not 
only will he get to meet Emmitt 
Smith, but he will be blocking for 
him, just not in Dallas. 

This past Sunday in the heat of 
the 2003 NFL draft, Wells got the 
call about which most people only 
dream. The Arizona Cardinals 

selected him as the 177 tn overall 
pick at the top of the sixth round. 
Wells will now play along with 
Smith, who the Cardinal's signed 
as a free agent to bolster credibil- 
ity and fan interest. He was one 
of only five 
draft picks 
coming 
from a 

Division II 
school. 

"It was real- 
ly exciting. 

m y A 





phone has been ringing off the 
hook with friends and family," 
said Wells about getting the call 
from the Cardinal's front office. 

Wells, a Library native and 
graduate from South Park High 
School, is only the second player 
in Clarion University history to be 
drafted into the National Football 
League since 1954. The first 
draftee was Alex Sandusky, a for- 
mer All-Pro, was drafted by the 

Baltimore Colts in the 16 tn round. 
"I am very excited for him and 
his family. He worked very hard 
to put himself into this position," 
said Clarion head football coach 
Malen Luke. 

Making it to the NFL is not easy 
for anyone at the Division II level, 
but talent and character will not 
be an issue for Reggie at the next 
level, said Luke. 

"Reggie will be successful at 
any profession. He is focused and 
has the traits to be successful 
whatever he does," said Luke. 

The life of an NFL prospect is a 
grueling endeavor and it was at 
the end of Wells's junior season at 
Clarion, when the NFL picture 
became more of a reality. 

"Scouts came in from the Titans 
and (Clarion Offensive 
Coordinator (Nick) Calcutta) had 
a lot of connections, so more and 
more scouts came in during prac- 
tices and games," said Wells. 

Wells is 6-feet-3 inches tall and 
weighs 310 pounds. He was the 
object of much interest during a 
successful senior campaign at 
Clarion University. Upon 
completion of an 
impressive 2002 sea- 
son, Wells was 
named a Associated 
Press First Team 
"Little All- 

America" selec- 
tion, a first team 
American 



Football Coaches Association 
All-America selection, and a 
second team Football Gazette 
and D-II Football.com All- 
America selection. He was 
also a first team PSAC and 



team 
All- 



gem 



first 

CoSida/Daktronics 
Region selection. 

"Reggie was a 
coach. He was one of those 
kids you could count on. 
He was dependable, 
worked hard, and was 
easy to coach," said 
Luke. 

In addition, 
Wells was select- 
ed to play in the 
Whataburge 
Cactus Bowl this 
past January. But 
he still had to 
prove himself at 
the National 
Football League 
combine where the future of his 
career lied.

League coaches, scouts and 
front office personal use the NFL 
combine, which was held in late 
February in Indianapolis, as a 
barometer in evaluating a player's 
draft status. Aside from individ- 
ual workouts, the combine serves 
as a showcase for a collegiate 
player. 



bigger schools added challenges 
for Wells and facing the reality of 
being a prospect from a Division 
II program. However, Coach 
Luke does not think coming from 
a small school will have a nega- 
tive impact on Wells at the next 
level. 

"As long as things go well, it 
won't be an issue. He will have to 
overcome some things, but it

player in attendance. Questions 
are fairly straightforward, but a

and make them strengths," said 
Luke. 

Solely judging from a mock 
draft penned by so-called experts, 
it was difficult to forecast if Wells 
would be drafted at all. CBS 
"Sportsline" tagged him as an 
undrafted free agent and ESPN 
did not even list him to get draft- 
ed, other people believed differ- 
ently, saying Arizona got the steal 
in the process. 

"All of our indicators saw 
Reggie as a forth to fifth round 



pick," said Coach Calcutta. "The 
Cardinals were surprised he was 
still on the board in the early sixth 
round." 

According to Calcutta, at least 
seven teams contemplated draft- 
ing Wells. 

In the end, Arizona capitalized 
on the versatile lineman. The 
Cardinal's were the first team 
with which Wells worked. The 
coaches liked him as an offensive 
lineman and potentially as a guard 
and center. 

"His intelligence, maturity, and 
toughness impressed the 
Cardinals. He has an opportunity 
to have a long career," said 
Calcutta. 

Much like Wells, his new team 
is in transition. After seeing quar- 
terback Jake Plummer battle 
inconsistency and produce only 
one winning season of six in the 
desert. The Cardinal's let their 
hometown hero bolt to Denver in 
the off-season.

The following is a brief synopsis of criminal 
investigations conducted by Public Safety for the 
month of April. All information was found on the 
Public Safety web page. 

*On April 23, charges were filed against Matthew 
Gonzalez, 20, of Campbell Hall, after he intentionally set 
off a smoke detector in the hall. 

*On April 20, Nicholas Jones, 20, of Nair Hall, was cited

In addition to losing games, the 
one constant for Arizona, who fin- 
ished 5-11 overall last season, is 
steady offensive line play. 
Anchored by massive tackles 
Leonard Davis and L.J. Shelton, 
along with standout guard Pete 
Kendall, the unit is undoubtedly a 
strong team and should provide 
Wells a good foundation on which 
to build. 

"I am excited to go. It is defi- 
nitely going to be an experience 
for me," said Wells. 

Wells, a communication major, 



will complete the spring semester 
at Clarion before heading to 
Arizona where he will spend this 
weekend participating in four to 
five practices and getting 
acquainted with his new team. 

He has an overflowing amount 
of support from coaches, team- 
mates, friends and the Clarion 
community as he ventures into the 
next chapter of his career. 

"He's a warrior, he will do fine 
at the next level, and it's been 
quite a treat to play with him the 
last few years" said teammate 



Dave Coyle. 

Wells has definitely set a tone 
for younger athletes playing at the 
Division II level. 

"I have learned a lot from 
Reggie both on and off the field," 
said teammate Zack Synder. 

He has proven that if you work 
hard enough through your colle- 
giate career, you have the oppor- 
tunity to play at the next level 
even if you didn't go the top 
Division I school. 

Looks like he is living up to that 
standard.

Renovations cause Gemmell Snack Bar to close for a semester 




by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

A one million dollar project to 
renovate Gemmell snack bar will 
begin in December 2003. 

Gemmell will be shut down for 
the entire spring 2004 semester. 

"It's an eight month project," 
said Jeff Gauger, director of din- 
ing services. 

Ritazza will be moved tem- 
porarily to the Gemmell Rotunda 
while construction is in progress. 
Students will be able to purchase 
coffee, bottled beverages and 
bagels from a cart throughout the 
spring semester. 

"Spring is going to be tough," 
said Gauger. He explained that 
students will have to get used to 
the transition and students may 
experience crowding in the 
Rotunda. 

"Hopefully after a few weeks 
we'll have those problems mini- 
mized," Gauger added. 

To accommodate students' din- 
ing needs, Chandler Dining Hall 
will be divided in half. A wall 
will be built in between both 
sides of the facility, with the 
Ralston side serving an all you 
can eat menu and the Egbert side 
serving a menu similar to 
Gemmell. 

The "Gemmell side" will offer 
the same items as it does current- 
ly - pizza/Italian selections, subs, 
burgers, deep fried items, baked 
goods, fruit, ice cream bars and 
beverages. Chandler Dining 
Services will also start to experi- 
ment with the menu items that 
will be offered at the renovated 
Gemmell. 

In addition to Chandler Dining 
Hall and the Ritazza cart in the 
Rotunda, a small Ritazza kiosk 
will be built in Carlson Library 
this summer. 

"You'll be able to come in and 
pick up some grab and go stuff," 
said Gauger. 

Also this summer, the Double 
Treat Bakery will be expanded 
and include seating. 

Once Gemmell renovations are 



finished, students can expect to 
see many changes. Ritazza will 
be adjacent to the information 
desk in the Rotunda area and will 
be featuring the Wheat Street 
Deli. Some of the menu items 
will include a Tuscany bread 
salad, buffalo chicken and shrimp 
wraps, and broccoli chedder and 
tomato Florentine soups. 

Ritazza will also feature 
Freshens Smoothie Company, 
which will offer a variety of 
smoothie flavors such as blueber- 
ry sunset, Aruba orange and 
Jamaican Jammer. 

Mamma Leone's Pizza, a fran- 
chised pizza brand developed by 
Chartwells parent company the 
Compass Group, will be offered. 
Available on the menu will be a 



variety of pizzas and calzones 
baked in a stone oven, salads, 
breadsticks and tasty Italian 
desserts. 

Mondo Subs is a franchised 
submarine sandwich brand devel- 
oped by Chartwells and features 
eight signature subs and 10 spe- 
cialty subs that will be offered on 
a rotating basis. 

Baja Flats Grille will be avail- 
able to students and will offer 10 
fresh formed burger choices, 15 
grilled and breaded chicken 
selections and 22 rotating menu 
items. 

Outakes, a retail grab 'n' go 
area, will continue to be avail- 
able. 

"It (Gemmell) essentially will 
be like a food court you see in the 



mall," said Gauger. 

The project will be funded 
through the food service auxiliary 
fund and the Gemmell student 
center fund according to Dr. 
Harry Tripp, vice president of 
student and university affairs. 

Students disagree about 
whether the renovations to 
Gemmell are needed. 

It's "not a good idea," said 
Andrianne Laird, a sophomore 
secondary education English 
major. "It's fine the way it is." 

"It's a bad idea because I live in 
Campbell and the Ritazza is right 
across the street," said Mike 
Bowan, a junior marketing major. 
"Chandler is too far away, leave 
at least half of Gemmell open." 

"It's a good idea," said Shannon 



Clark, a freshman elementary 
education major. "But a bad idea 
to do during school." 

After the Gemmell project is 
complete, Chandler Dining Hall 
will be renovated next said 
Gauger. Students will no longer 
be able to eat on both sides of the 
facility. The Ralston side will be 
the all you can eat style and will 
have booths added for extra seat- 
ing. 

Toward the back of the Ralston 
side, restrooms will be accessible 
as well as couches and chairs for 
a more relaxed setting. The other 
side of Chandler will be used for 
conferences and banquets. 

The project will total approxi- 
mately $1 million dollars accord- 
ing to Gauger.

Clarion University students join S.T.A.R. to "Take Back the Night" 



by Chrissy Meehan 
Clarion Call News Editor 

More than 100 people gathered 
in Gemmell square Tuesday to 
participate in the Take Back the 
Night Rally sponsored by mem- 
bers of Students Together Against 
Rape (STAR.). 

S.T.A.R. is an organization with 
approximately 18 members. The 
members coordinate activities to 
raises awareness about domestic 
violence and rape on campus. The 
rally is held each year to inform 
the Clarion community about 
these issues. 

"We need to take action against 
this violence," said Hillary Gates, 
a senior history major and presi- 
dent of S.T.A.R. Gates mentioned 
three ways to take action; talk 
about the problem, don't ignore it, 
correct people if they are speaking 
incorrectly about domestic vio- 
lence and "do not tolerate victim 
blaming." 

Corporal Greg Smith, depart- 
ment of justice violence against 



women grant program coordina- 
tor, also spoke at the rally. Smith 
joined Clarion University's Public 
Safety in August of 1994. 

In August 1995 Smith became a 
certified Rape Aggression 
Defense Systems (R.A.D.S.) 
instructor. He told a story about a 
woman who took a R.A.D.S. class 
in 1998. She was leaving work 
one night and was assaulted by 
two men in a parking lot 
explained Smith and "She suc- 
cessfully defended herself. One 
was unconscious and one was just 
coming to." 

"It can be done ladies," said 
Smith. 

Public Safety was awarded a 
$200,000 grant in October 2002 
from the United States 
Department of Justice to create a 
women's crime victim service 
office, which is located in the 
Public Safety building. 

According to Smith, there were 
15 criminal cases involving 16 
victims from October to 
December. Nine of the cases were 



closed and six remain open. This 
semester 12 criminal cases were 
reported involving 15 victims. 
Seven cases were closed and five 
are still open. 

State trooper Rex Munsee of the 
Clarion barracks said there were 
10 forcible rapes in Clarion 
County and three arrests. There 
were no arrests in the other cases 
due to a lack of evidence. In addi- 
tion, 28 sex offenses occurred in 
2002. 

Munsee added that victims 
rarely say the word "no." 

"I seldom get that one word, two 
letter answer," said Munsee. "It is 
a very simple word, say it like you 
mean it." 

Munsee believes, however, that 
society is becoming more active 
in the fight against domestic vio- 
lence. 

"I can remember when 
S.A.F.E.(an off-campus organiza- 
tion that assists victims of domes- 
tic violence) and PASSAGES (an 
off-campus organization that aids 
victims of rape) didn't exist," said 



Munsee. "Things have gotten a lot 
better in the last 22 years." 

During the rally, Alicia 
Shropshire, a communication 
major and a member of S.T.A.R., 
said that one in every three 
women will suffer from domestic 
violence before they graduate. 

"There's a long history between 
domestic violence and rape," said 
Shropshire. "Please understand it 
(domestic violence) can happen to 
anyone." 

"I think it's great for people to 
hear those statistics," said Amber 
Kalobchar, a senior political sci- 
ence major. 

The last speaker at the rally was 
LouAnn Williams, director of 
PASSAGES. 

Williams brought nine pair of 
shoes that represented the stories 
of nine victims of domestic vio- 
lence. 

"I want to personalize the vic- 
tims for people," said Williams. 

Williams read the stories of peo- 
ple from a variety of backgrounds 
- a 22-year-old college student, a 



three-year-old child, a 30-year-old 
elementary teacher and an 84- 
year-old woman among others. 

"These aren't just stories," said 
Williams. "Look to your left, look 
to your right, there are victims all 
around you." 

"It (the rally) was very emotion- 
al and sad but I think that's impor- 
tant to get the point across," said 
Joe Sprohar, a senior sociology 
major. 

Many fraternities and sororities 
came to the rally. 

Ben Gibbs, a sophomore com- 
munication major and a member 
of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity 
went with his brothers because, 
"A lot of people say fraternities 
cause a lot of problems." 

"This is an important issue that 
men and women should be con- 
cerned about," said Kathy 
Fleissner, a co-faculty adviser of 
S.T.A.R. 

Gates ended the rally with a 
quote from Mother Jones, "You 
gotta pray for the dead and fight 
like hell for the living."

Tickets for C.U. students are 
$10 and $20 for all others. All 
tickets will be $20 the day of the 
shows. 

According to Dr. Jeffrey Waple, 
director of the office of campus 
life, 2,130 out of 6,000 tickets 
have been sold for the concert 
and 584 out of 3,000 tickets have 
been sold for comedian Dave 
Chappelle. 

Chappelle will be performing 
his stand up act on Monday, May 
5 at 8:20 p.m. in Tippin 
Gymnasium. Gates open at 7. 

Greer Barnes will be the open- 
ing act for Chappelle. 

Waple expected more tickets to 
be sold by now. 

With "my expectations we 
would have sold out already," 
said Waple. "I am trying to be 
calm about it." 

Waple added that he is being 
reminded that many students and 
community members will buy 
their tickets over the weekend or 
on the day of the event. 

"We have to sell 3,000 concert 
tickets and 1,800 Chappelle tick- 
ets to break even," said Waple. 

Waple is hopeful that ticket 
sales will increase. 

"I think we're going to make 
that total," said Waple. 

Rascal Flatts will be paid 
$40,000 to perform. Their asking 
price today is around $100,000 
said Waple. 

The Roots cost $35,000 and the 
Clarks' asking price was $15,000. 

"We got these guys before they 
hit the mainstream," said Waple. 

To promote the event, posters 
were hung, shirts were created 



and e-mails were sent. 

In addition. 14 radio stations 
including nine from Erie, have 
been advertising Campusfest. 

"We can't seriously say that 
word is not getting out," said 
Bero. 

Besides the concert and 
Chappelle, different activities 
will be held each day for free. 
They are: 

*May 5 - May 9 - inflatable 
games such as Rock Wall. 
Bouncy Box, Bungee Run, 
Velcro Wall, Gladiator Joust, and 
an obstacle course will be held 
outside Gemmell from 12-6 p.m. 
*May 6 - Extreme Air, which will 
be held on Payne Street between 
Campbell Hall and Gemmell 
from 12-6 p.m. 

*May 6 & May 7 - Blood drive 
sponsored by Interfraternity and 
Panhellenic Councils from 11 
a.m. - 5 p.m. in the Gemmell 
Multi-Purpose Room. 
*May 8 & 9 - free showing of the 
movie "Bringing Down the 
House" at 8 p.m. in the Gemmell 
Muiti-Purpose Room. 
*May 10 - student recognition 
banquet at 7 p.m. in the Gemmell 
Multi-Purpose room. 

"It sounds like a blast," said 
Amy Rakieski, a sophomore art 
major. 

To order tickets call 814-393-

glad I finally have something fun 
to do before I graduate," said 
Terrilyn Cheatham, a senior 
political science and philosopy 
major.

is going to be a wonderful event," 
said Bero.

There are many 

jobs at the beach 

that require different 

talents and 

personalities. §9 

-Ben Chandlee 



O 



EDITORIAL, BEN CHANDLEE 
"Life's a Beach" "^^™™" 



It's only going to be a matter 
of time until I'm hanging out on 
the beach again. 

This is what I tell myself as I 
prepare stacks of paper that 
somehow surround me toward 
the end of each semester. I 
often daydream of better places 
and better times, from both the 
past and the ones that are to 
come in the near future. 

Although I am fond of my 
friends and activities in Clarion, 
the coast is where I feel the 
best. 

For some reason being land- 
locked has never really 
appealed to me. I try to maintain 
an optimistic attitude, but it just 
seems impossible sometimes 
when there are so many assign- 
ments and responsibilities to 



fulfill here at school. 

To me it is much more relax- 
ing to sit on a nice, warm beach 
with some friends and go for a 
swim when the sand gets too 
hot, or enjoy the night life after 
a long day in the sun. 

This seems ideal, however 
there is a problem. You have to 
find a way to do all this while 
making enough money to get 
back to dear old Clarion. 

The best solution I found that 
doesn't require anything illegal 
or a college degree (yet) was to 
become a lifeguard. It sounds 
easy enough, but when it comes 
down to it you actually have to 
be in pretty decent shape. 

There are many jobs at the 
beach that require different tal- 
ents and personalities. Living in 



OPfNfON 



a coastal area isn't for every- 
body, but it's worth looking into 
if you are interested and love 
being near the water. 

At this point in time most peo- 
ple are thinking about their 
summers and the jobs they will 
work to save money for the fol- 
lowing school year. Friends will 
go separate ways, and some will 
have different experiences. 

It's hard to find just the right 
job to do, and sometimes even 
harder to leave what you may 
know behind to have new 
adventures. If you follow your 
interests everything will turn 
out for the best. If things don't 
turn out at least you tried. 

I discovered this for myself a 
few summers ago, and now I try 
to maintain this attitude as 
much as possible. I'm looking 
forward to another great sum- 
mer. 

Spending the summer at the 
beach is probably the best way 
to blow off some steam after a 
long cold winter in a place like 
Clarion, even if you're only 
heading down for a vacation. It 
will definitely calm your 
nerves. 

If you do end up walking up or 
down the beach somewhere this 
summer you can look hard and 
far and perhaps I'll be some- 
where way up or down that 
same beach. 





The sooner your 
start realizing the work 
you do at Clarion.. .will 
directly contribute to 
your future achieve- 
ments, the sooner you 
will be traveling on the 
road to success. 99

I have had the great fortune 
through my involvement with 
Clarion University to meet some 
outstanding people. I would like 
to tell two brief stories. 

When I was an incoming fresh- 
man, our morning orientation was 
to be addressed by a university 
representative. 

As the university president was 
out of town that day, he enlisted 
the help of a university trustee. 
Not just any trustee, it was Dr. 
Dana Still, the man for whom the 
building was named where our 
meeting was being held. 

I expected a light-hearted wel- 
come to Clarion. I heard a stern 
lecture about buckling down and 
studying. All this came with the 
added message that if I didn't 
study hard I would be going 
home-if was one of the finest

Letter to the Editor 



John Gerow responds to Ken Emerick's previous letter 



Dear Editor, 

Against my better judgment, and 
for the last time, I am responding 
to Brother Emmerick's latest 
tirade (Call, April 3). 

There is nothing in the U.S. 
Constitution that allows for direct 
election of the President, nor is 
there any reference to "popular 
vote." Let me quote Article II, 
Section I, paragraph 1 and 2 of the 
U.S. Constitution for Brother 
Emmerick: 

"The executive power should be 
vested in a President of the United 



States of America. He shall hold 
his office during the term of four 
Years, and, together with the Vice 
President, chosen for the same 
term, be elected, as follows: 
"Each state shall appoint, in such 
manner as the Legislature thereof 
may direct, a Number of Electors, 
equal to the whole Number of 
Senators and Representative to 
which the State may be entitled in 
the Congress: but no senator or 
representative, or person holding 
an office of trust or profit under 
the United States, shall be 



appointed an Elector." 

(Anyone who has come through 
the government school system in 
the last 20 years can e-mail me for 
information about the U.S. 
Constitution.) 

Continued discussions about the 
"illegitimacy" of the Bush presi- 
dency is nothing other than a 
major expression of stupidity. 

It is laughable to try to justify 
previous military interventions on 
the basis of "humanitarian" 
grounds while pretending there 
were no "humanitarian" goals in

the liberation of Iraq. Stupid is as 
stupid does-the Saddam regime 
was one of the most barbaric 
abusers of human liberties since 
the days of Stalin and Hitler. 

Brother Emmerick whines and 
prattles about "freedom" of 
speech and dissent, but seems 
unaware the U.S. is the only 
nation in the history of the world 
that has guaranteed these free- 
doms, and limits the power of 
government regarding only those 
rights. 

Prior to the liberation of Iraq, 
any Iraqi who might protest the 
government would be tortured at 
best and murdered at worst. It is 



just a little more hypocritical, lib- 
eral double standard. 

Emmerick finds the "Hollywood 
celebrities" intelligent and well 
informed just like the rest of the 
world. Only those of us so stupid 
as to believe Fox News over Al- 
jazeera and the Iraqi Information 
Minister are stupid and misin- 
formed.

believe anything from foreign 
sources while refusing to believe 
what we all saw on TV during the 
short war?

the gentleman carrying the uni-

proud and regal way that made

That gentleman was former

Ernie has always been Mr. C.U.

his university, his town and his

Theatre Review 



"Gamma Rays" affects Clarion University 



by Jeannette Good 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



"The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in- 
the-Moon Marigolds," a play by Paul 
Zindel, debuted at 8 p.m. on April 29 in the 
Marwick-Boyd Little Theatre under the 
direction of Robert Gerald Levy. 

Based in the early 1970s, the drama of 
Zindel's "...Marigolds" takes place primar- 
ily in the small, cluttered home of the 
Hunsdorfers. It tells the story of an alco- 
holic, politically wrong mother with two 
children, the youngest of which is very 
intelligent and grows marigolds for the 
school science fair. 

Along with showing the effects gamma 
rays have on marigolds, the plays shows 
the effects a mother has on her children. 

In the program Director Levy writes, "It's 
a wonder that after reading Eugene O'Neill 
and Tennessee Williams, anyone would 
want to be a mother. Theatrical mothers; 
they're either strung out on alcohol, hero- 
in, power or visions of their lost youth." 

Beatrice Hunsdorfer was one who lost 
her youth and turned to alcohol. 

Karl Jacobson, set director, portrayed the 
home with clutter, alcohol, brown, dingy 



walls and complete with a rotary tele- 
phone. Shabby, bland curtains in a door- 
way, newspapers covering the windows 
and bunny droppings decorated the entire 
set. 

Costumes by Designer Becky Thielet 
helped bring the characters to life. 

Beatrice Hunsdorfer's raggedy sweater 
robe added a feeling of poverty to a self 
centered, alcoholic mother. 

Matilda Hunsdorfer's jumpers empha- 
sized her youth and awkwardness, played 
elegantly by Lynch. The tall, black Go-Go 
boots of Ruth Hunsdorfer added an early 
1970s flair. 

Melissa Lynch, sophomore musical the- 
atre major, played Matilda "Tilly" 
Hunsdorfer, very naturally. She easily 
overcame obstacles like Peter, the rabbit 
played by Carla courtesy of Lenore Pets of 
Fifth Avenue, jumping from the cage. 

Lynch also recovered well from distrac- 
tions such as the flicking of the spotlight in 
scene four as Matilda presented her sci- 
ence fair project. 

Senior Doris Regan, as part of her grad- 
uation showcase played manic mother, and 
widow Beatrice Hunsdorfer. She por- 
trayed the character well, as angry, irritat- 



ed and self-centered. She smokes, she 
drinks, and if we looked close enough, we 
could probably see a vein throbbing out of 
her forehead. 

Carla Rose Leight, freshman acting 
major, played the older daughter Ruth 
Hunsdorfer, who is overly self-centered 
and self-conscious. 

In her final Clarion University produc- 
tion, senior Katie Kerr added humor with 
the silent character of Nanny, walker 
included. 

Janice Vickery, played by freshman the- 
atre major Allison Wagner, was eerily 
perky as she presented her science project 
in her red dress. 

The play worked in the sense that it made 
the audience think. 

Sure, it was just another sad play about a 
bad mother with a smart kid. But the char- 
acter Matilda really makes the audience 
feel bad, almost regretful, whenever the 
other students laugh at her at school and 
when her sister and mother laugh at her. 

Under the directions of Robert Gerald 
Levy, "The Effect of Gamma Rays on 
Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" runs at 8 
p.m. until May 3 in the Marwick-Boyd 
Little Theatre.

Despite late start, UAB Step Off 2003 delights crowd 



by Amanda Cackowski 
Assistant Lifestyles Editor 

A crowd of people gathered out- 
side Gemmell Multi-Purpose Room 
on Saturday, April 26 anticipating 
the prompt 7 p.m. start and the 
eventual impressive performances 
of the University Activities Board 
sponsored Step Off 2003. One out 
of two isn't bad. 

The near restless crowd was 
released into the Multi-Purpose 
Room 30-minutes later and seated 
in their chairs to wait 15 more min- 
utes before the show started. 

UAB Multicultural Committee 
Chairperson Deidre Lesesne kicked 
off the show and her master of cer- 
emony duties by announcing that 



this was the first step show to be 
performed at Clarion University in 
15 years. 

She then introduced the groups set 
to perform that evening and also 
announced the rules on which the 
groups were to be judged. The 
judges, who were seated in the back 
of the room, were judging each step 
performance based on the following 
criteria: complexity, vocal clarity, 
crowd response, facial expressions 
and the final step off. 

That being said, the evening's per- 
formances began with the sorori- 
ties, the Delta Sigma Theta sorority 
in particular. The four members of 
this group where dressed in military 
fatigues and also presented a mili- 
tary style step performance. While 



their step performance was average, 
these ladies definitely showed the 
most enthusiasm. 

Next in line to present their steps 
were the ladies of the Zeta Phi Beta 
Sorority. This group presented a dif- 
ferent step performance that includ- 
ed music, dancing, singing and 
even a step number including sticks 
to present a different beat. Zeta Phi 
Beta also impressed the audience 
with their remarkable choreography 
and complex dance steps. 

The final sorority to perform was 
Sigma Gamma Rho, dressed in 
stunning blue dress shirts, gold ties 
and black dress pants. These three 
ladies also donned shades as they 
performed their outstanding chore- 
ography. Sigma Gamma Rho deliv- 



ered the most notable step perfor- 
mance. Their steps were consistent- 
ly the most precise and their chants 
were extremely clear. 

After a 15-minute intermission, 
during which the brothers of 
Omega Psi Phi performed, the pro- 
gram resumed with the fraternity 
portion of the UAB Step Off 2003. 

Kappa Alpha Psi was the first fra- 
ternity to perform. This group 
impressed the crowd with their 
"Pretty Hot" performance that 
included precise steps, fire-lit 
canes, and the beginnings of a strip 
tease. 

The second fraternity to perform 
was Phi Beta Sigma who traveled 
all the way from Cheyney 
University. This group was very 



comical in their presentation but 
that didn't overshadow their 
impressive steps and choreography. 
Alpha Phi Alpha was the final fra- 
ternity to perform. They entertained 
the group with their Jamaican style 
step performance. Their presenta- 
tion was by far the most creative 
and their final step off was the best. 
After a 10-minute deliberation, 
Lesesne appeared on stage to 
announce the evening's winners. 

The winners were as follows: 
Sororities - First Place, Sigma 
Gamma Rho; Second Place, Zeta 
Phi Beta; and Third Place, Delta 
Sigma Theta; Fraternities - First 
Place, Alpha Phi Alpha; Second, 
Phi Beta Sigma; and Third, Kappa 
Alpha Psi.

Movie Review "Anger Management" - 3 stars (out of 4j^ 




Sandler scores again 



by Tyler Fausnaught 
Clarion Call Movie Reviewer 

On arrival to the movie theater. 
I found myself a bit late. Having 
missed the opening credits I 
entered a dark theater that 
seemed empty. To my surprise 
after about ten minutes I noticed 
consistent laughing that came 
from behind me. 

The laughing continued 
throughout the film only to peak 
on the physically humorous side 
of the film and the slightly sexu- 
al innuendos. 

What these strangers in the 
dark were laughing at was the 
latest film by Adam Sandler, 
"Anger Management." 

In the past, Sandler has made 
films that are of the same mold 
and this one is no different. 
Sandler plays the everyday man 
who in someway is handed a 
misfortune and turns it into an 
eighty-minute romp and tumble

I won't spoil the film by telling

laughs. 

Oh, and about those four 
laughing voices that were sitting 
behind me? To my surprise they 
were four adults that seemed to 
be in there late 60s or early 70s. 
This proves that farts and people 
being punched in the face is 
funny to all ages. 

"Anger Management" isn't a 
work of art, but it is a guilty 
pleasure that is sure to get even 
the stiffest of people to laugh at 
least once, and that's the point of 
a comedy. 

I guess Sandler wants to leave 
the profound work to Scorsese.

Music Review 




Everclear - "Slow Motion Daydream" 



3.5 stars (out of 5) 



i 



Everclear proves they aren't "Ersatz Nirvana" 



by Paul Anderson 
Clarion Call Music Reviewer 



When a conversation on Everclear comes up, it's almost 
ingrained for the Everclear fan in the conversation to 
become defensive. 

Since 1995, Everclear has faced an uphill battle of attacks 
from being called "A Poor-Man's Nirvana" or "Ersatz 
Nirvana." Critics seem to forget that Nirvana quite rightly 
admitted that they ripped-off The Knack, Cheap Trick and 
the Pixies - and all of them ripped-off The Beatles. 

Everclear has also been called sell-outs (most recently for 
their musical departure with 2000s "Music From an 
American Movie Pt. 1: Learning How to Smile"). 

It's enough to make any Everclear fan a bit neurotic. 

But Everclear, in spite of it all, strides ahead with their 
new record, "Slow Motion Daydream." 

It is a mix of their 1995 record "Sparkle and Fade" (which 
brought us "Santa Monica") and "So Much for the 
Afterglow" (which brought us "Father of Mine" and "I Will 



Buy You a New Life"). 

Amidst crunching distortion is the pop-sensibility 
singer/guitarist Art Alexakis, bassist Craig Montoya and 
drummer Greg Eklund displayed on "So Much for the 
Afterglow." 

The entire record flows brilliantly from the sarcasm-rid- 
dled "How to Win Friends and Influence People" to "Volvo 
Driving Soccer Mom" to the melancholy 
"Chrysanthemum." 

Everclear is to pop what Trent Renzor and Nine Inch Nails 
is to industrial, making songs multi-layered and complex in 
spite of the simplicity of each individual instrument. 

Alexakis is in top form with his singing and lyrics. 

"I used to be a dancer at the local strip club, but now I 
know my right wing from my wrong," he sarcastically sings 
on "Volvo Driving Soccer Mom." 

On "A Beautiful Life" Alexakis slips into depression 
singing, "I say I love you, but I don't really know you; I 
wanna change you, but I don't know how." 

Then on the final track, "The New York Times," he goes 



into weary happiness with these lyrics: "I keep on having 
the same bad dream, and it makes me want to hurt all the 
people who have done this thing to you. When I see your 
face, I can see you smile, I read all about it in the New York 
Times." 

Many critics make much about Alexakis' references to 
drugs (he was a heroin addict by the time he was 13) to his 
unhappy childhood (his brother died of an overdose, and he 
never knew his father) to relationships (he's been married 
twice). 

They say he's simply regurgitating things. 
Pick up a Korn album or Papa Roach album of your 
choice and see how many original ideas they bring to you 
lyrically. Alexakis, which singing about fairly common 
things, words it much better. 

If you are eager for a 45-minute blast of poppy alt-rock, 
you can do a lot worse. 

The stinging guitar riff on "Blackjack" and the subdued 
string section on "Chrysanthemum" are worth it. 

And there are nine other songs on the record. 



Nancy McCabe closes the Spoken Art Reading Series 



by Amanda Cackowski 
Clarion Call Assistant Lifesvtles Editor 

The Spoken Art Reading Series 2003 
concluded last Thursday night, April 24 in 
Moore Hall with accomplished nonfiction 
writer Nancy McCabe. However, prior to 
the final reading of the semester, Clarion 
University students and faculty sat down 
with the author during an informal talk ses- 
sion to discuss McCabe's accomplishments 
and techniques. 

McCabe began the informal talk session 
by having each and every one of the stu- 
dents and a few English department pro- 
fessors introduce themselves with his or 
her name, year and stage in the writing 
process. 

McCabe then introduced herself as an 



assistant professor of writing at the 
University of Pittsburgh at Bradford; 
where she is also the director of the writing 
program. McCabe received her formal 
training at the University of Nebraska 
where she completed the Ph.D. program in 
English and creative writing. 

McCabe then informed the small gather- 
ing of her writing background and accom- 
plishments. 

She admitted that she first began writing 
fiction and intended on crafting novels, but 
then as she began to write and devise plots 
and ideas, she found that her own life was 
rich with exciting and worthwhile writing 
ideas. 

During this time in her life, she also met 
and talked with accomplished creative 
nonfiction writer Lee Gutkind. He inspired 



McCabe to try her hand at writing nonfic- 
tion rather than fiction. 

With elements of fiction and poetry, 
McCabe then began to write creative non- 
fiction and soon her work was published in 
journals such as Prairie Schooner, Fourth 
Genre, Massachusetts Review, Puerto Del 
Sol, and several other journals. 

In 2000, her work even won the Pushcart 
Prize and was listed in the 1999 and 2000 
editions of "Best American Essays," a book 
compiled of the best of the best essays pub- 
lished within that particular year. 

McCabe is currently working on her 
memoir "After the Flashlight Man," which 
chronicles various parts of her life includ- 
ing the death of her father and adoption of 
her daughter. 

Students and faculty then asked McCabe 



an array of questions about her writing life. 
Topics that where discussed included writ- 
ing rituals, her favorite books to read for 
learning and for pleasure, writer work- 
shops, and how she deals with her family 
reading her works. 

McCabe also gave the aspiring writers 
some tips on writing a memoir, which 
stressed revision, her favorite part of writ- 
ing. 

The informal talk session prior to the 
conclusion of the Spoken Art Reading 
Series 2003, gave upcoming writers the 
chance to sit down with an accomplished 
professional in the creative nonfiction 
field. McCabe's inclusion in this writer's 
series also gave students a different look at 
the craft of writing by including creative 
nonfiction.

I think that 

the draft was 

a successful 

one for the 

Steelers. 99 

-Brent Sutherland 



HUIM SI MII-KI.VM)

Last weekend the NFL draft 
concluded and the Steelers 
escaped with only five players. 

In the first round the Steelers 
traded for the sixteenth overall 
pick. With that selection the 
Steelers chose Troy Polamalu 
from the University of 
Southern California. Polamalu 
has something in common with 
Steelers running back Chris 
Fuamatu-Ma'afala. 

Both players are Samoan. 
Polamalu said, "The Samoan 
community is a small commu- 
nity and a very close communi- 
ty. I am excited to be welcomed 
with open arms by him. I will 
have somebody to look up to 
over there." 

Some analysts say that 
Polamalu plays strong safety 
like Junior Seau plays line- 
backer. Polamalu said, "I think 
that Junior and I share that pas- 
sion and love to play football. 

I think you can tell on the 
field who is really committed to 
working hard for the team and 
who does it just to do it as a job 
or who does it out of love of the 
game. The great thing about 
this is I'm going to be getting 
paid to do what I love and not 
very many people can say that." 
I feel that Polamalu is a great 
pick for the Steelers. He will 
have the opportunity to step in 
and start at strong safety due to 
the free agent loss of Lee 
Flowers. 

He is known as a tough run 
stopper, but he has good spee*d. 
Thanks to his speed, I think he 
will beat all of the pass defense 
criticism by having a wonderful 
rookie season as a starter. 

Polamalu is a solid pick, but 
still the Steelers did not draft 
the player I desired. 

However, the team that did 



not draft him was the team that 
the Steelers traded with to get 
the sixteenth pick. 

The Kansas City Chiefs draft- 
ed Johnson with the twenty- 
seventh overall pick. 

In the second round the 
Steelers continued to upgrade 
the defense by selecting outside 
linebacker from Florida State 
Alonzo Jackson. 

Jackson is a pass rusher who 
played defensive end in col- 
lege. The Steelers plan on play- 
ing Jackson at outside line- 
backer though. Jackson is a 
very enthusiastic player with 
high energy. 

The final picks for the 
Steelers were Ike Taylor from 
Louisiana in the fourth round. 
Taylor is a tall cornerback 
with excellent speed. He is 
going to be a project for the 
Steelers because he is not pol- 
ished at all. 

His athletic prowess creates a 
big upside for him in 
Pittsburgh. 

In the fifth round the Steelers 
selected Bryan St. Pierre, a 
quarterback from Boston 
College. 

He had an excellent junior 
season, but he slipped a bit dur- 
ing his senior campaign. 

Last, but not least the Steelers 
selected fullback J.T. Wall from 
Georgia. He is a bruiser and the 
Steelers got him with their last 
pick in the seventh round. 

I think that the draft was a 
successful one for the Steelers. 
The black and gold upgraded 
the secondary immensely by 
taking Polamalu and Taylor. 

Hopefully, they can help a 
team that should be very hun- 
gry when August rolls around.

Terwillinger breaks school record; team looks toward PSAC's 



by Julie Evenoski 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 



The track and field team traveled to 
Berea, Oh. to compete in one of the 
Midwest's best collegiate track meets, 
the Baldwin-Wallace Invitational. 

Over 30 Division I, II, and III 
schools were in attendance and 
Clarion faired well against the compe- 
tition. 

"I was pleased with the efforts of 
the athletes. We are looking forward 
to finishing up the season with more 
good marks and times," said Coach Pat 
Mooney. 

Freshman Sean Williams finished 
second with an impressive time of 
33:43 in the 10,000 meter run. 

Junior A.J. Mayernik placed fourth 
with a time of 34:21.05. 

Dave Duriancik took fifth place in 
the 3,000-meter steeplechase, running 
a 9:37.66. This time puts him fifth in 
the PSAC. 

Sprinter Jarrett Williams placed sixth 
in the 100-meter dash with 11.04 and 



seventh in the 200-meter dash with 
22.17. 

Sophomore Mel Terwillinger had an 
impressive day. She won the 10,000- 
meter run with a time of 36:39.71. 
The second place runner was two min- 
utes behind her. 

With that impressive performance, 
Mel provisionally qualifies herself for 
the NCAA Championships. Mel also 
broke the 13-year old school record. 

Junior Gayle Specht placed seventh 
in the 10,000. She ran a personal 
record of 41:47.07. 

Missy Harkins qualified for PSAC's 
in the 3,000-meter steeplechase run- 
ning a 11:59.01. 

In the field, Gail Hepler qualified for 
the PSAC meet with her throw in the 
javelin of 121.7. 

Jessica Crouch, a NCAA provisional 
qualifier in the javelin, took second 
place with a toss of 132.04. 

Clarion had three women, Crouch, 
Julie Evenoski, and Carrie Bullman, 
place in the top five for javelin.

Softball 



2003 proves to be a turn around season 



by Nicole Furnia 
Clarion Call Sports Writer 



>••••*••••••#••••••( 



'•••«••••••••< 



Desire, hard work and 
dedication of each player 
has made for some major 
changes in the Clarion 
University softball pro- 
gram. 

The 2003 season was a 
huge turn around from 2002 
and the team and first year 
head coach Natalie Martin 
could not be more pleased 
with that. 

"They were determined to 
have a better year than last 
year and worked hard to 



achieve that goal," said 
Coach Martin. 

The Lady Eagles ended 
their season with a win over 
Lock Haven, which put 
them at 10-10 in the PSAC 
and 16-20-1 overall. 

They had the most confer- 
ence wins ever in the histo- 
ry of Clarion softball and 
the most season wins since 
1982. More impressively, 
they snapped a 48 game los- 
ing streak to California 
University. 

"I think we surprised a lot 
of teams this year," said 
sophomore Kristen Klinger. 
They led the PSAC in

First year head coach Natalie Martin instructs Jen Reis as she 
heads for home plate. Coach Martin was very pleased with 
her first year with the Lady Eagle softball team. She has 
confidence that next season will be even better.

fielding percentage and 
improved in most every 
aspect of the game and 
improved their batting aver- 
age by almost 50 points. 

The team was also nation- 
ally ranked (#21) in the 
nation for fielding percent- 
age. 

Defense and pitching were 
the keys to their success 
this year. 

April Shannon had a 
strong freshmen campaign 
on the mound for the Lady 
Eagles. She ended the sea- 
son with 147 strikeouts.

Sophomore Kristin

to cover due to the loss of 
seven seniors. However,

The Lady Eagles come together before the start of the game. 
Working as a single unit was an important component of their 
success this season. 



Hudson, Leslie Mills, Kim 
Overholt, Emily Sowers, 
Alison Stodart, and Jessica 
Waldman leave behind a 
team on the path back to 
success. 

"We have a solid core of 
returning players' that are 
capable of filling the 
seniors shoes," said Martin. 

The Lady Eagles expecta- 
tions are high and hope to 
build upon this year's suc- 
cess next season. 

They expect to get better 
and continue to be competi- 
tive in the PSAC. 

The players have recap- 
tured the love of the game, 
which contributed to tbem 
having a good season. 



"I think we definitely 
made an impact in the PSAC 
this year. Not only did we 
finish with a .500 record but 
also made a run at the play- 
offs," said Stodart. 

The team has a solid 
recruiting class coming in. 
They will add depth to the 
program and will fight for 
time with the returning 
players. 

Expect a lot from the Lady 
Eagle softball team as they 
look to become a power 
house in the PSAC. 

With many positive 
changes in the program, you 
can be assured that the Lady 
Eagles will be ready to go 
in 2004.

Senate contributes to Campusfest 



by Amy A. Thompson 

Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

and Chrissy Meehan 

Clarion Call News Edior 

Student senate allocated an 
additional $25,000 for 
Campusfest because ticket sales 
did not generate the amount 
needed to cover the remaining 
costs of the event. 

The CSA board of directors 
granted a one-time allocation of 
$80,000 for Campusfest in 
February. According to Dr. Jeff 
Waple, director of the Office of 
Campus Life in the Feb. 27 edi- 
tion of The Clarion Call, the 
remaining $87,000 was to be 
earned through ticket sales and 



food vendors. 

Food vendors were not present 
because the athletic department 
has first right of refusal of ven- 
dors at the stadium. 

"In order to have any food 
other than university food, the 
athletic department has to 
approve that," said Waple. 

Also in the Feb. 27 edition of 
The Clarion Call, assistant vice 
president for university relations 
Ron Wilshire said, "The CSA 
board would be responsible for 
addressing any shortfalls on 
budgeted ticket sales." 

However, Manager of the 
Student Operations Center Lee 
Krull told the Clarion Call that 
he wasn't sure if the CSA board 



Special Projects Fund would 
cover the remaining money. 
Krull said he believes even with 
the student senate $25,000 con- 
tribution there will be $6,000 
needed to meet costs. 

Waple claims the $25,000 con- 
tribution will only be used if 
necessary. 

"It was a nice gift from sen- 
ate," said Waple. "But in my 
opinion I would rather not tap 
into that." 

He anticipates only $6,000 
will be used from that allocated 
$25,000 and the rest will be 
returned to the supplemental 
reserve account. 

According to Waple, 3,257 
tickets were sold for Sunday's

three-band concert out of 9,000 
printed tickets. According to 
Jamie Bero, University 
Activities Board adviser, 3,186 
tickets were sold. 

However, all bands had to be 
paid on Sunday. The Clarks 
were paid $15,000, the Roots 
$35,000 and the Rascal Flatts 
$40,000 totaling $90,000. 

The $80,000 allocation from 
the Special Projects Fund went 
toward the $90,000 cost. 
According to Waple, the remain- 
ing $10,000 costs came from 
advanced ticket sales totaling 
$50,000. According to Krull, 
concert revenues totaled 
$50,400. 

"They (numbers) mismatch

"We have the minimal bills

Student senate makes 
exceptions to their own rules 



by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call ^jtor-m^Chief 

Student senate made exceptions 
to their own rules when motions 
were made to allow this year's 
and past budgets to include a sec- 
retarial salary, three executive 
board members' stipends and the 
costs for the annual Social Equity 
Dinner. 

The rules in the budget packet 
states that the items the Clarion 
Student's Association will not 
fund, include 
1 .Banquets or awards 
2. Salaries 
3. Alcohol 
4.Food (at student organization 



meetings) and 

6. Shirts or clothing that only ben- 
efit the individual. 

Student senate president Mike 
Phillips explained that student 
senate is "allowed to make any 
exception for anyone." 

Therefore, any organization that 
desires its executive board mem- 
bers to get paid could approach 
student senate to be an exception 
to the rules. 

However, Phillips added that 
groups who want to be the excep- 
tion to the rules must present a 
strong justification for change. 

Phillips said in the case of stu- 
dent senate's ex ceptions "the only

Senate! from the Front Page. 



The following is a brief synopsis of criminal inves- 
tigations conducted by Public Safety for the month 
of May. All information was found on the Public 
Safety web page. 

*On May 7, unknown person(s) did enter 317A Campbell Hall 
and removed property not belonging to them without the permis- 
sion of the owner. 

*On May 6, Public Safety apprehended an individual in the 
process of burglarizing a student's room in Campbell Hall. The 
individual is known to Public Safety and charges will be filed. 



way it happened was by a motion 
(at a student senate meeting)." 

However, Phillips could not 
produce documents at the time of 
the Clarion Call interview to ver- 
ify when the motions for the sec- 
retarial salary and costs for the 
Social Equity Awards banquet 
were made. 

The 2000-2001 student senate 
passed the motion for the student 
senate president, vice president 
and treasurer to receive stipends, 
Phillips said. 

"I can't speak to the origins of 
the motions to make these excep- 
tions, but due to the large 
amounts of secretarial and 
administrative work it would be 
impossible to justify somebody 
not getting compensated for their 
time," Phillips said. 

The student senate secretary 
Julianne Lanich is paid minimum 
wage for 10 hours a week. Total 
costs for Lanich 's salary to date 
have been $1,148.45. 

"The paid student position of 



secretary is to insure the required 
recording of decisions of both the 
CSA board of directors and the 
allocation of student fees by sen- 
ate. These minutes are used in all 
audit procedures and legal filings 
of the corporation on behalf of all 
student organizations on cam- 
pus," said Harry Tripp, student 
senate adviser and vice president 
of student and university affairs. 
Phillips receives a 50 percent 
tuition reimbursement for profes- 
sional services through senate's 
account. Costs to date are $2,189. 
Vice president Jackie Collier 
and treasurer Rebecca Emert 
receive a 25 percent tuition reim- 
bursement for professional ser- 
vices. Each has received a 
$1,095.50 reimbursement to date. 
"The executive board of student 
senate receives a stipend based 
on the level of responsibility they 
are asked to assume. Members of 
the executive board have addi- 
tional office hours, attend com- 
mittee meetings and are required 



to represent the senate at univer- 
sity and state system meetings on 
a regular basis," explained Tripp. 

Phillips said student senate did 
"everything we could do to mini- 
mize costs," including having 
students who had a valid student 
I.D. flex into last semester's ban- 
quet. 

Student senate budgeted them- 
selves $17,000 last year. This 
year's student senate allocation 
pending the approval of the uni- 
versity president is $19,100. 

Other student senate expendi- 
tures for this year include 
postage expenses, memorials and 
charitable contributions, adver- 
tising expenses, travel and con- 
ferences, membership dues for 
the Board of Student 
Government Presidents, lodging 
expenses, telephone expenses, 
offices supply costs, printing 
expenses, operating expense, 
maintenance and repair expenses, 
copier supplies, and food 
expense.

Clarion Call News Editor 

A new development has been 
made in the ongoing investiga- 
tion concerning thefts that have 
occurred in Campbell Hall this 
semester. 

A Public Safety officer 
received permission from two 
Campbell Hall residents to stay 
in their room while they were 
gone in case the room was bur- 
glrized.. A burglary had previ- 
ously occurred in the room. 

The officer was wearing street 
clothes as opposed to a uniform. 
About an hour and a half later 
around 11 p.m., a Caucasian 
male student entered the 
unlocked room and took proper- 
ty without noticing the Public 
Safety officer in the corner. 

" The officer told him he was 
under arrest," said Dave 
Tedjeske, director of public 
safety. "There was a confronta-

tion near the doorway." 

The confrontation led to "a 
scuffle and a chase on foot" 
added Tedjeske. "It (the con- 
frontation) was no more than a 
minute or two." 

Two backup officers were also 
waiting outside Campbell Hall, 
but the male got away. 

" We haven't definitively iden- 
tified the person," said Tedjeske. 
But "the officer got a good look 
at him. It's only a matter of time 
before the officer runs into him 
again." 

Tedjeske believes the male 
lives in Campbell Hall and notes 
that "all the methods used to 
commit the crimes are almost 
identical." 

As stated in the April 3 edition 

of Tin Ctwm Caff, two burglaries 
occurred during winter break. 

The March safety blotter states 
that a stereo system, 75 CDs, six 
DVDs and six Playstation 2 
games were stolen from a sec- 



ond floor room sometime 
between Feb. 28 and March 11. 
Another resident reported a 
watch and cash stolen from a 
Campbell hall room on March 5. 

Clothing valued at $190 was 
reported stolen from the 
Campbell Hall laundry room on 
March 28. 

The May safety blotter states 
that on May 2, someone walked 
into 205A Campbell Hall and 
stole DVDs, CDs and a concert 
ticket. 

Then, on May 4, a theft of a 
Sony Playstation 2 was reported 
by a resident of Campbell Hall. 
The investigation is continuing. 

Again on May 7 an unknown 
person(s) did enter 317A 
Campbell Hall and removed 
property not belonging to them 
without the permission of the 
owner.

President Reinhard bids Clarion University farewell after 13 years 




by Amy A. Thompson 
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief 

"It all began in a small town 
in Wisconsin," joked Clarion 
University President Diane 
Reinhard when she reflected 
on experiences that brought 
her to serve 13 years as uni- 
versity president. 

Reinhard will retire in June 
and will pass her presidential 
title to Dr. Joseph 
Grunenwald, Clarion 

University's provost. 

Reinhard said when a person 
is president of a university 
they should think of the posi- 
tion as a marathon, not a 
sprint. 

"The last 13 years have truly 
been the highlight of my pro- 
fessional life," said Reinhard. 
According to Reinhard, the 
average university president is 
typically in the position for

Wisconsin after her retire- 
ment in June. 

five years. 

"I think five years is too lit- 
tle." she said. 

During her time at the uni- 
versity, Reinhard has been 
credited with achieving a civil 
environment for students and 
faculty.

"People need to feel free to 
express differences without 
penalty," Reinhard said. 

She also places emphasis on 
the relationships that are 
formed during times of inter- 
action. "Interactions are terri- 
bly important if you want to 
advance the mission of 
Clarion University," Reinhard 
said. 



It all began in a 
small town in 
Wisconsin. 99 

-President Reinhard 



Some of her biggest interac- 
tions came from two other 
State System of Higher 
Education university presi- 
dents who Reinhard considers, 
not only to be her friends but 
mentors. Madeline Adler, 
president of West Chester 
University, and Joe Caputo, 
president of Millersville 
University served as part of 
her support system. 

In additon to Adler and 
Caputo, Reinhard believes she 
learned from her campus exec- 
utive board every day. She 
also gives special credit to the 
university's faculty leader- 
ship, student achievements, 
and the Foundation board. 

Reinhard said she doesn't 
believe incoming President 
Grunenwald needs any advice 
because, " Joe has been very 
involved at the State System 
level." She said she'd only 
remind him that in order to run 
the marathon a person must 
not only take care of the uni- 
versity's needs, but his or her 
own. 

She also said she would tell 
Grunenwald to "focus, focus, 
focus on what's important." 

One of those important con-

cepts Reinhard believes she 
possesses is a sense of humor. 
"I love to laugh," she 
smiled. 

In fact, one of the funniest 
moments of her presidency 

came at her 60 tn birthday 
party. She said there was an 
Elvis impersonator who sang 
his rendition of "Heartbreak 
Hotel." However, the high- 
light of the party was when a 
male student dressed as 
Marilyn Monroe sang "Happy 
Birthday Miss President." 

She said another humorous 
event was having this year's 
student senate to her house for 
a sleepover. 

Reinhard is looking forward 
to many more happy times in 
her future as she plans to 
move to her hometown in 
Wisconsin. She and her cocker 
spaniel, Maggie, are moving 
into a 75-year-old town house 
located beside her best friend

from high school. 

Reinhard said she is looking 
forward to returning to 
Clarion's Autumn Leaf 
Festival as a private citizen. 

Other travel plans for 
Reinhard include a trip to 



Tuscany with a friend to learn 
to cook. 

Reinhard advises Clarion 
University students to take 
advantage of opportunities and 
to never think that education 
ceases after graduation. 



President Reinhard s Top 10 

Outgoing Clarion University President Diane Reinhard presented her version of David 
Letterman's Top Ten List at this year's last faculty senate meeting. 

The list was a way to commemorate her 13 years as university president and the changes she 
has seen during her time at Clarion University. 

Reinhard said she believed it was necessary to have a formal goodbye with faculty senate. "In 
some ways I feel I grew up with the senate," Reinhard told faculty senate.

Extended cell phone use may cause health risks

t Clarion Call Health Reporter 

An estimated 1/3 of all 
Americans own cell phones 
according to the website 
www.darwinmag.com. 

Cell phones were introduced 
17 years ago and have become 
one of the world's fastest 
growing trends. Walking 
around campus, it is impossi- 
ble to not see at least five peo- 
ple talking on their cell 
phones. 

"I use my cell phone very 
often - not quite hourly, but if 
I could, I would," said sopho- 
more Chad Kirkland, a speech 
communication major. "I need 
to keep in touch with people 
and plan events. It's my main 
contact number." 

Many students seem to agree, 
sophomore Spanish major 
Sarah Molinero owns a cell 
phone, "in case I ever have an 
emergency and need a phone, 



or for long distance." 

"It (cell phone) is the only 
phone I have," said Adam 
Hepfl, an undecided sopho- 
more.. 

Much consideration has been 
given to the negative health 
risks attached to cell phone 
use, but many people are unfa- 
miliar with the risks. 



I use my cell phone 
very often. Not quite 
hourly, but if I 
could I would. 99

"I'm not too familiar with all 
the risks, and I don't really use 
my phone all that much," said 
freshman psychology major 
Melissa Evans.

Elementary Education major 
Renee Randour are not con- 
cerned with any negative 
effects. "I don't really care," 
said Randour. "Cell phones are 
good in case of emergencies." 
There have been numerous 
research studies on the adverse 
effects of cellular phones. 
However, no concrete evi- 
dence has been uncovered. 
Most of the research has 
implied health risks, but proof 
is yet to be found. 

According to www.abc.com, 
cell phones send electromag- 
netic waves into the user's 
head. There is a limit set by 
the FDA of how much of these 
waves a phone can transmit 
and every model of phone dis- 
tributes a different amount of 
electromagnetic waves. 

Many of these phones can be 
held at certain positions to 
pass the requirements, but 
actually be over the radiation 
limit in other positions. 



The way a person holds a cell 
phone also has an effect on the 
microwaves entering the head. 

The closer the antenna is to a 
person's head, the more waves 
are absorbed. About 60 percent 
of the microwave radiation 
given off by cell phones enters 
the head, sometimes reaching 
up to an inch and a half into 
the brain. 

The radiation omitted by cell 
phones is a very small amount, 
but young children are cau- 
tioned against using cell 
phones frequently. Their 
brains and nervous systems are 
still developing and 

researchers are still unsure if 
continual cell phone use will 
interfere. 

Research has been conducted 
with rats. Rats were exposed to 
small amounts of radiation, 
similar to that given off by cell 
phones in one hour. The rats 
were then found to have 
decreased short-term and long-

term memory capabilities. 

According to the website 
www.live-net.com, many dis- 
eases are thought to be linked 
to cell phone use. Some of 
these diseases are: anxiety, 
birth defects, brain tumors, 
epilepsy, hair loss, kidney 
damage and thyroid cancer. 
This list goes on to include 48 
symptoms and diseases. 

Although there is no definite 
link between cancer,g other 
health concerns and cell 
phones, time spent on the 
phones should be kept to a 
minimum. 



Carlson library brings back 
its Stress-Free Zone 



Courtesy of 
University Relations 



For a second consecutive 
semester, Clarion University of 
Pennsylvania is doing something 
to help students overcome the 
stress of finals. 

Last December, over 3,000 
Clarion University students took 
part in the "Finals Survival 
Stress-Free-Zone" held four 
nights in Carlson Library Cafe. 
The Stress Free Zone is orga- 
nized and designed by Clarion 
University's Health Science 
Education Center. 

On May 7, 8, 12 and 13, from 7 
p.m.-l a.m., the Stress-Free-Zone 
will offer a variety of healthy 
stress relievers such as music, 
comedy movies, games and 
health snacks including fruit 
smoothies, popcorn, cheese, 
snow cones and veggies and dip. 

The theme for the Spring 2003 
semester is "New York, New 
York." The May 7 guest smooth- 
ie maker will be Dr. Julia Aaron, 
who is donating organic blueber- 
ry smoothies. 

The daily themes are: 
*May 7 - "Welcome to 
America," a night with an inter- 
national theme; 
♦May 8 - Take Me Out to the 



Ball Game," a salute to the New 
York Yankees; 

*May 12 - "On Broadway," a 
theatrical themed night; and 
*May 13 - "A Night at the 
Apollo," featuring an amateur 
night and Karaoke, 

Each evening will feature two 
comedy movies, music, games, 
and aromatherapy. Staff members 
from Clarion University's Health 
Science Education Center will be 
available to offer advice on 
health issues. 

"By the last two nights in the 
Stress-Free-Zone, last fall, some 
students were asking questions," 
said Nancy Falvo, director of the 
Health Science Education Center. 
"We explained how proper rest 
and healthy eating could enhance 
study efforts." 

Falvo originated the idea for the 
Stress-Free-Zone. Administrative 
support is provided by Provost 
Joseph Grunenwald, Howard 
McGinn, dean of libraries; Dr. 
Stanton Green, dean of the 
College of Arts and Sciences; Dr. 
Sarah Bryant-Bower, dean of the 
College of Business 

Administration; Harry Tripp, 
vice president for student and 
university relations; and Dr. Art 
Acton, director of extended stud- 
ies. 




Carlson Library 

will be open 24 

hours starting 

Sunday, May 1 1 

at 1 p.m. to 
Friday, May 1 6 

at midnight. 

wishes every- 
one good luck

99 Sol thought I 

would give some 

awards and call then 

the Amys. 99 

-Amy Thompson 



EDITORIAL. A. THOMPSON 
'TTeAm^waras^ 



Some people deserve awards. 
Unfortunately, the Academy 
Awards and the Nobel Prizes 
exclude some awards that should 
be given to some worthy recipi- 
ents. 

So I thought I would give some 
awards and call them the Amys. 
Without further ado. . .the moment 
we've all been anticipating. 

The first Amy Award is in the 
"Best Quote of the Year" catego- 
ry. This award is given to some- 
one who has something especially 
insightful, heartwarming or just 
plain funny to say. 

The best quote goes to Lisa 
Bergamotto, who in the Nov. 13 

issue of TU Cbm Caff said, "Hey, 
I'm a fat girl and I'm proud." You 
go girl. 

Incidentally, the "Catchphrase 



That Should No Longer Be 
Uttered" Amy Award goes to 
"You go girl." Anyone who says 
this should indeed stop saying 
this. 

The "Best Initiative" Amy has 
several winners because of the 
surge of ideas that have been 
developed on campus this past 
year. The winners are Casey 
Jericho and anyone who helped 
her establish the dance-a-thon 
organization that will raise money 
for cancer research. She is proof 
that it only takes one person with 
an idea to get others involved in 
something positive. 

The next winner of the "Best 
Initiative" Award is anyone who 
had a hand in Campus Fest. The 
original idea stemmed from a stu- 
dent senate retreat and grew from 



TitFMAP/rMMU 

Op(/v/om 



there. 

The "Yes I Still Work at Tk&H* 
Caff" Amy Award goes to yours 
truly. I will return in the fall as

after became the president. I lived with me in Campbell Hall. I 
enjoyed interacting with others thought that this was going to be 

the greatest year of my life. I was 
so wrong; it could not have been 
a more horrific experience. 

My roommate was being abused 
by her boyfriend at the time and it 
was affecting my living situation. 
Trying to tell her that she had a 
way out was not an option, her 
reasoning was that the good out- 
weighed the bad and that I never 
saw how he treated her when they 
were alone. 

My final straw came in the 
spring of 2001 when my room- 
mates boyfriend tried to hit me. 
He also left threatening messages 
for me. I thought to myself, I 
can't do this anymore, if she 
won't get out, I am. If it were not 
for my sisters who had been sup- 
portive throughout this entire 
experience, I would have had to 
endure more harassment. 

My sisters let me move into the 
sorority house rent-free because 
they were simply happy to see me 
out of that bad situation. From 
then on, it only got better. That

I apologize, but this award 
takes some explaining. 

One night before the 
Gemmell Snack Bar was closed 
I was told that the board was 
already closed. In attempt to 
get food, I marched upstairs to 
Tit Ctwm Ctff office where I 
called Extreme Deliveries to 
have them delivery a turkey

When I called Extreme 
Deliveries and told them I was 
located in the Clarion Call

Letter to the Editor 



Tne C car/ on Cau 



Page 9 



Kenneth Emerick defends his last letter 



Dear Editor, 

I never suggested that the presi- 
dent is elected by popular vote. 
Mr. Gerow shamefully and falsely 
implied that I had. My point and 
the facts are that George W. was 
not elected, but appointed by a 
one-sided reactionary Republican 
Supreme Count after the electoral 
fiasco in Florida. 

Five court votes were the only 
ballots that counted. Columnist 
Molly Ivins called it a "coup d'e- 
tat." Bill Kristol, editor of the con- 
servative "Weekly Standard" said 
Bush "gained office through an 
act of judicial usurpation." The 



"Miami Herald" concluded that 
had all the ballots been counted, 
Gore would have won by 23,000 
votes. 

Furthermore, dozens of electoral 
crimes, irregularities and errors in 
Florida all favored Bush. 
Thousands of African Americans 
who voted nine to one for Gore 
were denied ballots or votes 1) 
when their registrations were 
"lost," 2) while they waited in line 
as polls closed 3) because their 
motor- voter registrations were not 
transferred to the polls, 4) when 
misdemeanor offendors were 
ruled as "felons" to disqualify vot- 



ers, 5) when blacks were intimi- 
dated by police barricades, 6) 
where polling places in black 
areas were moved without notice. 
Old voting machines in poor areas 
failed to read thousands of ballots. 
Thousands of Republicans in 
Seminole County were illegiti- 
mately given ballots after party 
operatives corrected their improp- 
er applications. Secretary of State 
Harris, a rabid Bush supporter, 
rejected tallies from some black 
districts and prevented recounts in 
others. Numerous recounts in 
progress were halted in various 
ways.

year terms on student senate were 
my gateway to many other oppor- 
tunities throughout campus, con- 
ferences and networking with 
different administrators. Along 
with that I have been able to 
serve on several different com- 
mittees on senate, the greatest 
one of all was being elected to 
the executive board. 

Being on the exec board 
allowed me to attend the National 
Conference on Student Services 
in Orlando, Florida, where I had 
the opportunity to interact with 
other student leaders from across 
the nation. Along with that, there 
was the Board of Student 
Governors Presidents and I of 
course could not fail to mention 
the annual senate retreats, 
although many things were 
accomplished, memories and 
friends were made. 

Though I will admit it has had 
its very rough times dealing with 
many organizations that were not 



always happy with the decisions 
that were made, or their budget 
they were given was not what 
they had anticipated. Sometimes 
we like no particular way but our 
own, but no one can make you 
feel inferior without your con- 
sent. 

Being as busy I was with senate, 
meetings for Campusfest, confer- 
ences, different activities that I 
had to participate in, as well as a 
countless number of other things 
I always had my backbone of my 
college career to support me in 
any activity that I wanted to par- 
ticipate in. 

I also had a countless number of 
other things I had to complete, 
because of this I was lucky to 
have my sorority, D-Phi-E cheer- 
ing me on. D-Phi-E has been 
more than just an organization; 
they have become my family 
through the years. 

For those that are not Greek 
they do not realize the bonds and

friendships that are formed. And I 
agree that Greek life is not for 
everyone, but for me "If being in 
a sorority is buying my friends, 
then it's the BEST investment 
I've EVER made!" 

If not for each sister throughout 
the years I would say that I would 
not be the person that I am today. 
Because they are all so very dif- 
ferent, each has contributed a 
piece of themselves that I know I 
will carry with me where my long 
and winding road will lead me to. 
So for those of you that are read- 
ing this article, my final words to 
you are to not let your college 
experience go by. There are so 
many different activities to make 
your experience unique. 

You might be saying, "Oh I am 
not a person that likes to be in 
organizations or be involved." 
But what you don't realize is that 
even the simplest steps to making 
a new friend or going to a group 
where you don't know anyone or 
the best one yet is to be at a party 
where you could find that person 
who will be your future. 

Take risks, encountering differ- 
ent people will not only show 
you what you want ot be but will 
help you grow; it will as well 
show you what you don't want to 
be. 

And with all of this said, be 
well, enjoy Clarion, and in the 
words of Phish -"and I'll 
be... waiting for the time when I 
can finally say that this has all 
been wonderful, but now I'm on 
my way..." 

The author is a senior political 
science major. 



Gerow ridiculed my concern for 
free speech and the right to dissent 
as "whims and prattles." 
Presumably his extensive used of 
those freedoms suggests they 
should be reserved for his kind 
only, other reactionaries. 

He claims that the "U.S. is the 
only nation that guarantees those 
freedoms." Denial of the numer- 
ous exceptions to that claim is bla- 
tant arrogance. 

Such offensive mouth ings of a 
Nazi-like assumed superiority is 
responsible for much of the disre- 
gard other peoples in nations now 
have for our country. The over- 
bearing arrogance goes much fur- 
ther. 

Recently, he rhetorically assert- 
ed, "who really cares what other 
countries think," in order to damn 
the worldwide popular opposition 
to what the Canadian 
Broadcasting Corp. called the 
"Attack on Iraq." 

Gerow condemned those of us 
who strive to be thoughtful and 
informed because we dare to read, 



hear, examine and question 
sources from all corners of the 
globe. No legitimate scholar, 
responsible writer or serious stu- 
dent could choose the many limit- 
ed equivalents of "Fox News." It 
would appear Gerow doesn't go 
much further. 

Gerow, on these pages once 
made the astounding admission 
that "for more than 40 years I 
have never once heard an acade- 
mician criticize" Castro, the 
Soviet Union, dictators, etc. 
Where has he been? What has he 
read? Is he stone-deaf? What has 
he forgotten? 

He also complained that "people 
cannot celebrate the successes of 
American experience." Isn't that 
what we hear, especially now, 
read in our histories and publica- 
tions and see constantly on the 
telly? Where has he been for 
many years? When did his senses 
cease to function? 

Sincerely, 

Kenneth Emerick,

CUP students help with Special Olympics 



by Jeannette Good 
Clarion (Call Staff Writer 

"It's amazing that we had so 
much support from the campus 
and community," Human 
Resource Director Leanne 
Skroupa, junior education/spe- 
cial education major said. "We 
had more volunteers than 
expected." 

The 2003 Special Olympics 
Pennsylvania Western Spring 
Sectional began 9:30 a.m. on 
Saturday, May 3, 2003 and ran 
until 6 p.m. at Memorial 
Stadium, Tippin Gymnasium, 
Recreation Center, Clarion 
County Community Park and 
Clarion Oaks Golf Club. 

"The volunteers saved our 
event," said gracious sophomore 
special education major and 
Athletics Committee member 
Jackie Tobias. "We couldn't 
have done it without them." 



Special Olympics is 
a great organization 
with opportunities 
for everyone. 99 

-Kim Steinruck 



About 480 athletes and 180 
coaches participated in events 
consisting of aquatics, athletics, 
basketball, softball and tennis. 

Athletes from Allegheny, 
Beaver, Butler, Clarion, 
Crawford, DuBois/Jefferson, 
Erie City, Erie, Lawrence, 
McKean, Mercer, Venango/ 
Forest, Warren and Washington 
counties competed. 

"Special Olympics is a great 
organization with opportunities 
for everyone," sophomore com- 
munication major Kim 
Steinruck said. "I began working 
with Special Olympics three 
years ago because I wanted to 
help out in my community." 

Operating on funds from indi- 
viduals, corporations, founda- 
tions, special events and grants, 
the Special Olympics is the 
world's leading amateur sports 
organization and involves over 
one million athletes and 250,000 
coaches in more than 150 coun- 
tries. The athletes include chil- 
dren and adults, ranging from 
eight to eighty, with mental 
retardation, with or without a 
physical handicap, who must 
prepare for at least eight weeks 
before competing. 

According to the Special 



Olympics Pennsylvania mission 
statement, "The mission of 
Special Olympics Pennsylvania 
is to provide year-round sports 
training and competition in a 
variety of Olympic-type sports 
for children and adults with 
mental retardation, giving them 
continuing opportunities to 
develop physical fitness, 
demonstrate courage, experi- 
ence joy, and participate in a

sharing of gifts, skills, and 
friendship with their families, 
other Special Olympics athletes, 
and the community." 

Sophomore English major 
Tammy Swanger said, "The peo- 
ple I met today were some of the 
sweetest, most uplifting people 
I've ever met." 

A 1995 study by Yale 
University confirmed Special 
Olympics contributes to the 
physical, social, and psychologi- 



cal development of people with 
mental retardation. Through 
successful experiences in sports, 
they gain confidence and build a 
positive self-image that carries 
over into the classroom, the 
home, the job and the communi- 
ty- 

The Olympic Village had a 
safari theme. The Tippin 
Gymnasium location featured 
music from DJ Christopher 
Hickernell, a senior information 
systems major. 

"It's amazing how much par- 
ticipants get into the music; they 
have their favorite songs they 
like to hear," Hickernell said 
during his fourth year as a vol- 
unteer DJ at the Special 
Olympics. "It's fun to see their 
smiles when they hear their 
favorite song." 

Along with Hickernell, 
Smokey the Bear was a special 
guest at Tippin Gymnasium. 

At the Memorial Stadium, a 
clown made balloon animals. 

Games at the Olympic Village 
included bowling, golf, baseball, 
checkers, Bingo, Uno and 
Connect Four. Also, craft booths 
were set up to make animal 
masks. 

Prizes were given out, at both

locations, including water bot- 
tles, small animal critters and 
bouncy balls. 

Sophomore communication 
major Chad Quinones said, 
"Working with Special Olympics 
is a great way to give back to the 
community, and it is a heart 
warming event." 

Every athlete received an 
award, and all of the athletes had 
good attitudes toward the events 
and the other teams. Smiles 
abounded throughout the day. 

Many student volunteers said 
they gained insight during the 
Special Olympics; several just 
realizing how much they take 
for granted each day. 

Head of the Ceremonies 
Committee, Holly McGill, a 
special education/rehabilitation 
sciences major, said, "Today 
was an inspirational day. It made 
me realize how wonderful each 
day of my career will be." 



Frisbees continue to fly over Clarion University 



by Matthew T. May 
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor 

As Jesse Ley watched the plas- 
tic white disc flung from his hand 
soar across the pale blue sky and 
to his teammate sprinting across 
the green field, he knew the 
team's defensive strategy needed 
work. When Ley was a freshman, 
he and his friends played pick-up 
games of Ultimate Frisbee on the 
rugby fields just for fun. 

Nearly three years later, Ley and 
his teammates still play Ultimate 



Frisbee for fun but with more 
strategy and more at stake since 
they are working to become a rec- 
ognized team at Clarion 
University — and their next 
opponent could be Duquesne 
University. 

"It's not like two people throw- 
ing a Frisbee around on the 
beach," said junior communica- 
tion major Ley. "There is a lot of 
strategy involved (in Ultimate 
Frisbee) just like in soccer, foot- 
ball and basketball." 

After playing mainly pick-up 



games with other students for two 
years, Ley, an Ultimate Frisbee 
player for most of his life, 
believed he could help put togeth- 
er a team to play teams outside 
Clarion. 

"Frisbee as a sport has been 
gaining popularity in recent years, 
but no one has really taken the ini- 
tiative to start anything here at 
Clarion," said Ley. "I've seen 
other schools with Frisbee teams 
that have club status (and are rec- 
ognized teams by their schools), 
so I figured why not us." 



Along with seeing talented and 
dedicated players, Ley also 
noticed a fan base developing 
after two years of playing pick-up 
games. 

"A lot of people were showing 
up to the games," said Ley, "and 
we even started to get fans to 
come out and watch our games 
last semester (Fall 2002). That 
was just us playing each other — 
just different people from Clarion 
University." 

Ley and other skilled players 
interested in putting together a 



team used their usual pick-up 
games as tryouts where they 
recruited additional players. 

At the beginning of the Fall 
2002 semester, they played four 
pick-up games per week. Once 
they formed the team, they played 
only two pick-up games and the 
team would formally practice on 
the other two days. They still 
allowed anyone to play in pick-up 
games.

sive as possible and not push peo-

Before reading on, however, 
you should probably see the 
first "X-Men" in order to get a 
clear grasp of the events that 
unfold in the sequel. 

Upon entering, we rejoin a 
very familiar face up in the 
frozen tundra of northern 
Canada. In search of his myste- 
rious and ominous past, 
Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) 
journeys to Alkali Lake, the 
military installation that 
Professor Charles Xavier 
(Patrick Stewart) advised 
Wolverine to check out at the 
end of the first movie. 

Upon arriving, however, 
Wolverine discovers the instal- 
lation abandoned and 
destroyed. 

Distraught, he returns to 
Charles Xavier's School for the 
Gifted to consult with the pro- 
fessor once more. 

It is in this meeting we get a 
reading into the mind of the 
movie. We discover that Xavier 
has an extremely unique and 
frightening power of control- 
ling and potentially killing all 
mutants on the planet using his 
powers in unison with Cerebro, 
the machine used to harness and 
enhance his telepathic abilities.

President by a mutant, General 
William Stryker (Brian Cox), 
storms the Xavier mansion in 
search of mutants. 

After Wolverine has his way 
with Stryker's men, we learn 
that Wolverine and Stryker are 
somehow linked as Wolverine 
briefly remembers seeing him 
before. 

The plot takes major twists 
and turns after the raid, and we 
get reintroduced to Mangneto 
(Ian McKellan), the super-vil- 
lan behind plot of the first 
movie. 

While resting comfortably in 
his cushy plastic prison, he gets 
an opportunity to escape, but I

events surrounding that 
scheme. 

Once Magneto escapes, he 



learns of Stryker's plan to use 
Xavier for dissemination of all 
mutants and joins the efforts of 
the X-Men to find Xavier, 
hence the title, "X-Men 
United." 

The rest of the movie is up for 
you to discover as giving any 
more information away would 
cut the fun of the movie into 
shreds. 

Although the movie is very 
good overall, there are some 
points that were a little disap- 
pointing. 

First of all, Cyclops (James 
Marsden), a pivotal X-Men 
character, has taken a backseat 
to the newcomers and the origi- 
nal cast from the first film. 

In addition, Storm's (Halle 
Berry) character is left in the 
flurry of action, and we do not 
get any more details on her past

than we got from the first 
movie. 

The best thing they did for 
this movie, however, was keep- 
ing the original cast and direc- 
tor, Bryan Singer. Singer brings 
the story of mutants as told by 
Marvel Comics alive in his 
exploits of directing "X-Men" 
and "X2." 

He also keeps the same envi- 
ronments and attitudes por- 
trayed during the first movie, 
making this sequel worthy of 
following the first film. 

In addition to the directorial 
aspects of the movie, keeping 
the original cast along for the 
sequel made the characters that 
much more believable. It gave 
the actors and actresses much 
more freedom to explore the 
nature of their characters, 
which wouldn't have happened 
had they been replaced for the 
sequel. 

This movie is most definitely 
worth seeing, and it should be 
seen in a theater to get the 
whole sound and picture experi- 
ence. 

The acting, music and overall 
story are each excellent and 
should not be missed.

The Roots - "Phrenology" 4 stars (out of 5) 




The Roots cannot be pigeonholed musically 



by Paul Anderson 
Clarion Call Music Reviewer 

The Roots defy being pigeon- 
holed into one type of genre. 
It's impossible to pin them 
down into one category. When 
listening to their album, the lis- 
tener gets a barrage of music 
from rap, to soul, to funk, to 
reggae and yes, even punk. 

They mix everything and any- 
thing to make a cohesive sound 
snappy enough to hum along to. 
This is serious, folks. As some- 
one who doesn't listen to much 
hip-hop, the praise I give to this 
record is much deserved. Any 
music lover can pick up this 
record and pop it in. 

Tracks such as "The Seed 
(2.0)" (which has a guest 
appearance by Cody Chestnutt 
on guitar and vocals), "!!!!!!!" 
and "Thought @ Work" stand 
out as the most prominent. 

"The Seed (2.0)" is essentially 
a funk song. It moves and 
grooves like nothing else on the 
record. 

"!!!!!!!" is a total punk song 
inspired, as the liner notes tell 
us, by lessons of Bad Brains, 
Minor Threat, Inside Out and 
fellow member Ben Kenney. It 
is stuck inconspicuously 
between two other usual Roots 



songs (if you can call The Roots 
deliciously eclectic music- 
stylings as "usual") and surpris- 
es the heck out of the listener 
the first time the album's on the 
stereo. 

"Thought @ Work" is a throw- 
back to what old school hip-hop 
used to be (as in Grandmaster 
Flash, Sugar Hill Gang and 
Kool G Rap) with a more mod- 
ern backdrop of music. It's 
probably the poppiest song 
(meaning catchiest song still 
stuck in my head) on the entire 
record, which is saying a lot. 

With this eclectic mish-mash 
of genres, it's not hard to imag- 
ine the vocals of Scratch (who's 
a review all his own) and Black 
Thought being lost in the back- 
ground. Luckily, this isn't so. 
Black Thought's vocal range 
from aggressive to soulful. He 
weaves his way through each 
song, creating a rhythm that 
compliments and accentuates 
the already amazing orchestrat- 
ed sound. 

On tracks such as "Rock You," 
Black Thought is almost an 
instrument himself. 

Scratch is an anomaly that The 
Roots should be and probably 
are very blessed to have. In a 
time when hip-hop's use of the 
turntables has come back as a

very powerful source to reck- 
oned with (it has even tran- 
scended genres into rock groups 
like Incubus, Limp Bizkit and 
Linkin Park), The Roots do not 
have turntables - they have 
Scratch. 

Through some miracle that's 
impossible to believe unless 
you've seen them live (which 
you may have since they've per- 
formed in Clarion), Scratch, 
along with sharing the rhymes 
with Black Thought, also imi- 
tates every turntable sound 
imaginable with his mouth. He 
sounds exactly like a real 
turntable. 

Listen to "Phrenology's" first 
track, "Phrentrow," for Scratch's 



biggest display of his highly 
entertaining talent. On the rest 
of the album, his sound effects 
mix too much with the back- 
ground to get a decent listen. 

While ?uestlove's drumming 
isn't astonishingly original (he's 
not Neil Peart, John Bonham or 
even Ringo Starr), he's compe- 
tent, and his beats become a 
sturdy, necessary backbone to 
each song. Without his drum- 
ming, the arrangement of the 
other instruments would crum- 
ble. 

In today's music industry 
when something new is hard to 
come by, The Roots easily and 
deftly hold the top spot for orig- 
inality.

Fashion isn 't about 

Dolce & Gabbanas 

fall line, Abercrombie 

models or what color 

goofywinkle is. 99 

-Pat Hannay 



FASHION COLUMIST, PAT HANNAY 



This will be the final report for 
the semester from your personal 
god of style. Writing this column 
has been a total blast. With a lit- 
tle luck, I may be back doing it 
next semester. Anyway, time to 
get nostalgic. Cue the wavy 
lines. 

I remember about a week 
before I started to write this col- 
umn, the day I had found out I 
had gotten the position, I told all 
my friends at dinner. An 
acquaintance said to me, "You? 
What do you know about fash- 
ion? Humph, I bet you don't 
even know what color periwin- 
kle is." 

I replied with a simple "Do I 
look like I care what color peri- 
winkle is?" 

Needless to say, he wasn't 
thrilled. I guess I wasn't up to his 
lofty yet shallow standards. 

That is what's wrong with fash- 
ion: people paying so much 
attention to things that don't 
really matter. 

Fashion isn't about Dolce & 
Gabbana's fall line, Abercrombie 



'The name of the game" 

models or what color goofywin- 
kle is. It's about showing the 
world a taste of your personality 
right on the surface. 

Get people interested and rely 
on what's inside to keep them 
coming back for more. 

Fashion is what you make it, 
good or bad. 

Some people hate the very 
mention of it, thinking it shallow 
and pointless while some peo- 
ple's very lives revolve around 
it. 

To those people I say get some 
help. Leaning too far one way or 
the other is just too much. Take 
some pride in your appearance, 
but don't make it everything. 

You don't want to be vain do 
you? 

One of the big myths is that if 
you put a decent effort into how 
you look, it means you're shal- 
low. If you think this is true, 
you've been paying attention to 
the wrong people. 

I think this unfortunate myth 
comes from celebrities. We all 
know that celebs get scrutinized 



and sensationalized by the pub- 
lic. They get their little personal 
problems blown up into larger 
than life drama, which makes 
them look, well, dumb. 

Add to that fact that people are 
always looking to big stars for 
fashion advice and you've got 
your answer. 

Just because you take pride in 
your $150 A&F bleach stripe 
jeans doesn't mean your shallow. 
The exact same goes for that 
beat-to-hell leather jacket you 
prize more than life. Fashion is 
individual and unique to every- 
one. 

Touching on that, it never hurts 
to look at people whose styles 
arc different from your own. 

Don't say to yourself, "God 
why does she have to wear black 
lipstick and those fishnets?" or 
"Stupid preppy, why don't you 
grow some individuality!" 

Instead, try saying, "I wonder 
why they wear what they do." 

Rationalize and be objective. 
Don't put someone down just 
because of what they wear. That 
tough looking guy in the 
Rocawear jersey just might be 
the most intelligent person you'll 
ever meet. 

Revel in the diversity of looks 
we've chosen to adopt, even if it 
is cowboy boots, orange eye 
shadow or liberty spikes. Give 
people a taste of who you are and 
never be afraid to show the 
world what you're all about. 

That's a wrap. Don't forget to 
look hot and be cool. As for me, 
someone pass the suntan lotion - 
- there's a beach out there calling 
my name.

Gant named Minority Woman of the Year for 2003 



by Tai Stevenson 
Clarion Call Staff Writer 



This year's Minority Woman of the Year 
was given to Dr. Jocelind Gant. Dr. Gant 
is the assistant to the President for Social 
Equity and Director of International 
Programs at Clarion University. She 
received this award at the 6th annual 
Minority Woman of the Year reception. 
This Award is given to recognize out- 
standing women of color who have been 
successful in personal and/ or profession- 
al life; demonstrate support of women's 
issues and diversity; and show dedication 
to the community at large. 

"Dr. Gant is an ultimate professional, 
always fair and civil to everyone she 
interacts with. She is one to be emulated," 
said Dr. Brenda Sanders Dede. 

Gant has been apart of Clarion 
University since 1994. She said in an 
interview that was presented on the 
Clarion Newswire that when interviewed 
for her position she received such a warm 
reception from the Clarion community 
that she knew she would love it here. For 
it is here that Dr. Gant focuses on work- 
force diversity, conflict resolution, race 
and gender relations, EEO/AA compli- 
ance, sexual harassment, and international 
education. Success according to Dr. Gant 
is being able to make a difference. 



The Minority Woman of the Year award 
is given by The Office of Minority 
Student Services. They present the recip- 
ient with a plaque and $250 dollars to 
donate to the charity of their choice. Dr. 
Gant has decided to donate half of her 
money to The United Negro College Fund 
and the other half to The Alzheimer's 
Association. When ask why she chose 
these two charities she said that she want- 
ed to give back to the community that 
assisted her and also to help find the cure 
for Alzheimer's of which her mother suf- 
fers. 

Some of the programs that Dr. Gant has 
assisted in are the Harrisburg 
Partnership/Emerging Scholars Program, 
the Mentor Program, and the Clarion 
Ethnic Tolerance Coalition just to name 
the few. She has been recognized not only 
in the Clarion community but also in oth- 
ers for her contributions to society. These 
awards include The Human Relation 
Award and The Black Achievers Award. 

Dr. Gant is truly worthy of this award 
because of her contributions and achieve- 
ments to the Clarion community and to 
others. She is definitely Woman of the 
Year but Dr. Gant says it is a gratifying 
feeling to be able to contribute to the qual- 
ity of student life at Clarion University. 

Last years recipient of the Minority 
Woman of the Year was Dr. Brenda 
Sanders Dede. 




Dr. Jocelind Gant (cento) is the 2003 Minority Woman of the Year. Fellow 
nominees Tameeka Washington (left) and Cynthia Hays Critten (right) are

Religious barriers breed difficulty in student worship 



by Bethany Bankovich 

Clarion Call 
Circulation Manager 



Practicing some form of religious wor- 
ship is customary in nearly every culture 
in the world. Different religions derive 
from a multitude of areas, based on the 
customs of the people who live there. 

This is no less true of the Clarion area, 
filled predominately with Christian estab- 
lishments. Based on the demographics of 
the area, a vast majority of the people 
residing here consider themselves believ- 
ers of the Christian faith. However pre- 
dominant the Christian faith may be with- 
in the Clarion area, there are some resi- 
dents and university pupils that practice 
different religions. 

With a diverse body attending the uni- 
versity, some students have found wor- 
ship rituals to be near impossible due to 
the lack of facilities and religious groups 
available that are in concordance to their 
beliefs. 

If one were to browse through the yel- 



low pages of the Clarion Area Phone 
Book, they would find nearly an entire 
page dedicated to Christian church list- 
ings. Although these facilities may appeal 
to a vast majority of Clarion's population, 
there a still many other religions present 
without an institution for worship. 

The only non-Christian facility for wor- 
ship is the Tree of Life Synagogue locat- 
ed on West First Street in Oil City. The 
synagogue is for people practicing the 
Jewish faith. 

Due to the distant location, students and 
residents practicing Judaism must travel a 
great distance in order to worship in a 
sacred place. 

So what about the students of other 
faiths? Believers of Islam have formed an 
organization on campus known as the 
Muslim Student Association (MSA) led 
by Dr. Dilnawaz Siddiqui. However, due 
to the professor's current health situation, 
the group has become nearly inactive. 

Although the organization helps stu- 
dents of Islam continue with their wor- 
ship, they are still without an official 



facility. Practitioners of other faiths such 
as Buddhism and Hinduism rank very few 
in numbers and lack any sort of organiza- 
tion within the university or Clarion area. 
The best way to encourage the con- 
struction of any facility is by inviting new 
members to the faiths. Many students at 
the college level do not consider them- 
selves belonging to any one religion. 

Since college is time for self-actualiza- 
tion, learning about the different types of 
faiths could actually motivate students to 
explore the possibilities. With more stu- 
dents taking an interest in the different 
religions, there is more of a demand to 
form organizations and facilities to prac- 
tice. 

Education plays a key role in encourag- 
ing more students to learn about the dif- 
ferent religions of the world. Often times, 
students only vaguely comprehend some 
of the central beliefs and customs of the 
different faiths. According to the ERIC 
Digest, most of these ideas centralize 
around a stereotype that was taught dur- 
ing childhood in order that they have a 



simpler time classifying the people of 
their surroundings. 

In most cases, these views are terribly 
misconstrued and have led to the forma- 
tion of prejudices. 

Open-mindedness is essential for not 
only human growth and development, but 
also societal revolution. Until the differ- 
ent religions present within the area 
attract more members, practitioners of 
diverse faiths must continue to worship 
on their own.

The Clarion University Track and Field 
team traveled to Lock Haven University for 
the LHU Qualifier last weekend. 

This was the last meet that the team would 
have to add any more PSAC qualifiers to the 
list before the Championships. 

Kristen Werder was able to qualify in the 
triple jump with a personal record of 35:01.5. 
Sarah Rodgers qualified in the 800-meter run 
with a time of 2:24.1 and Sarah Reese ran the 
qualifying time of 12:24.86 in the 3000-meter 
steeplechase. 

Running a 5:00.05 in the 1500-meter run, 
Jen Boerner was able to place first. Katie 
Jarzab won the 5000-meter run with a time of 
19:39.74. 

Coach Pat Mooney was pleased with the 
results of the meet and was particularly 
impressed with the javelin competition. 

"By far, the javelin competition was the 
highest quality. You had the top six places all 
over 135 feet, that is incredible," he said. 

In that event, Julie Evenoski was able to 
place second and qualify herself for Nationals 
with her throw of 13872.5. She also placed 



second in the shot put with a distance of 
39700. 

A.J. Mayernik placed third in the 5000- 
meter run, while teammate Sean Williams fin- 
ished forth with a time of 16:39.04. 

Clarion will take sixteen women and 
seven men to the PSAC Championship. 
PSAC's began yesterday and will continue on 
through Saturday. 

Many of those athletes that qualified have 
done so in more than one event. 

"We are planning on improving last year's 
great finish. The women are the strongest in 
the throws and distance, while the men will 
do well in the sprints and steeplechase," said 
Mooney. 

"Several of the people who qualified are 
ranked very high and we have the opportunity 
to place in the top six in many of the events," 
he added. 

The PSAC Championships are held at Lock 
Haven and Coach Mooney is eager to begin. 

"I am very excited and optimistic about 
PSAC's. We are an experienced team and 
after this weekend, we will be able to sort out 
our National's list," he said. 

Nationals are two weeks after this meet and 
will take place at Southern Illinois 
University.

Hun Judo's P-Jobb 
takes National gold 



by Jae Ann Brown 
Clarion Call Contributing Writer 



Sensei Andor Paposi-Jobb of Clarion's Hun 
Judo Dojo recently upheld his National 
Senior/Master's Judo championship. 

At the U.S. Nationals held at The Riviera 
Convention Center in Las Vegas, Ne., Dr. Jobb 
extended his championship in the men's under 
66 kilo division, coming home with an uncon- 
tested gold medal. 

In a year when Clarion's Jun Judo Doko is 
celebrating its 40th year on campus, Sensei's 
win added a distinguished luster to the dojo's 
longevity on campus. 

This is P-Jobb's 52nd year as a judo com- 
petitor. Over the years he has successfully 
competed in both the U.S. and his native 
country of Hungary. 

In 1955 and 1956 he was the Hungarian 
National Judo Champion. In the U.S. he has 
won a total of eight National championships, 
six gold medals and two silver medals. He has 
also won two silver medals in the 
Pennsylvania State Championships in past 
years. 

In 2002, he won a silver medal at The

STEPH DEFLORENTIS, SPORTS EDITOR 



I can't believe it, nor do I want to 
believe it. Next Saturday I will be at 
my college graduation. 

Where has the time gone? More 
importantly, why was I so ready to get 
out of this place last semester, and 
now the thought of packing up and 
leaving a place that has been my sec- 
ond home for the past four years, is 
something I don't want to think about. 
I woke up Monday morning and 
burst into tears. I'm not sure if it was 
because it was the last time I would 
ever wake up for a Monday class ( not 
that I am particularly saddened by 
that), or because for the first time in 
my lite, I am unsure of what the future 
holds or what is next for me. 

Since this is my last edition as sports 
editor of TU <%m &0, I thought it 
would only be appropriate to take this 
opportunity and reflect on something 
that is important to me. 

Something that was one of the 
biggest parts of my years here at 
Clarion, being a member of the 
women's soccer team. 

There isn't one word or emotion that 
describes the experience of being on a 
team where 24 women have not only 
become my teammates but sisters. 

Playing soccer at the collegiate level 
was not in any way in the picture 
when I headed off to CU. 

However, my sophomore year, 
women's soccer was added to athletic 
program and the picture changed. 

I am not going to lie, but I wasn't the 
best soccer player in high school, did- 
n't score the most goals, or finish first 
when we sprinted. Therefore, I 
thought my soccer career ended when 
I graduated high school. I was wrong. 

I ended up going joining the team 
during its club season in 2001, and 
found I rekindled my love for the 
sport after a two year hiatus. 

There wasn't a lot of pressure dur- 
ing the two years because we were 
building and learning together, how- 
ever, things were a bit different in the 
fall of 2003, my last sesaon. 

Coach Alonzo had heavily recruited 
some talented freshmen and was 
looking to make major strides, even it 
it meant making cuts. 

Cuts'? I didn't think there would be 
anything worse than getting cut my 



senior year. 

Fortunately, Coach Alonzo recog- 
nized that although I wasn't the best 
on the team or wouldn't make spec- 
tacular plays on the field, that my 
efforts off the field were just as impor- 
tant. 

She told me that because I was the 
lone senior on the squad, leadership 
was an important factor with my pres- 
ence on the team. 

I didn't see a lot of playing time my 
senior year, but being able to practice 
everyday with teammates and a coach 
I loved and putting on that No .2 1 jer- 
sey for every game, was enough for 
me. 

Of course I got frusterated and going 
to practice seemed more a chore than 
fun some days. There was always that 
voice in the back of my head that said 
to just give up. 

However, it wasn't about playing 90 
minutes or scoring the most goals. It 
was about being apart of a team. 

My point? I would have never got- 
ten the opportunity to play soccer at 
the collegiate level if I hadn't come to 
Clarion. 

I can't even imagne what it will be 
like leaving behind people with 
whom I have gone through thick and 
thin. 

There are women on this team I wiil 
never forget (especially you 
Mariann). Not because we had a good 
time off the field (and we certainly 
did), but because I could count on 
them to push me a little harder when I 
was tired, or to go that extra step to 
beat an opponent to the ball. 
It makes me so proud to see what this 
team has become in only three years 
and i can't wait to see what they 
become in the future. 

' To my coach and my teammates, 
thank you for an experience that I will 
never forget. I also won't forget joking 
around at practice when we weren't 
suppose to (which we sprinted tor) 
and the long bus rides across the state 
or especially "shimminaho". 

I am not sure where I will be next or 
what is in store for me, and it is one of 
the scariest things to think about. 

However, just know that I will take 
what I learned from being on the 
Clarion women's soccer team with 
me wherever I go.

Athletic department names athletes of the year 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 



A two-time National champion, a 
1,000 point scorer, holders of several 
school records , and remarkable grade 
point averages. 

Two Golden Eagle athletes share 
these honors and accomplishments, and 
for that have been named the 2003 
Female and Male athletes of the year. 

Alison Stodart (Madera/Moshannon 
Valley) and Shawn Colten (San Diego, 
Ca./Mesa Community College) were 
recently recognized for their outstand- 
ing efforts at the 15th annual Hall of 
Fame banquet. 

Stodart, a senior seondary education 
math major, was a two-sport athlete at 
Clarion. She was a member of the Lady 
Eagle basketball and softball teams. 

She had an outstanding four-year 

career on the basketball team becoming 

only the 11th player in school history to 

score 1,000 points. 

"Ali was a solid all-around player. We 



will miss her three-point ability and her 
tenacious defense," said Head Women's 
Basketball Coach Gie Parsons. 
Stodart finishes her career with 1,022 



She also has 314 rebounds and 258 
assists to her name. This season she 
averaged 11.4 points per game. 

As a pitcher for the softball team,

Colten, a senior Theatre major, capi- 
talized on his two years as a Clarion 
diver. 

He was named the 2003 NCAA 
Division II Diver of the Year after win- 
ning the National Championship at 
both the one and three meter competi- 
tions. 

He won the three meter board with 
484.05 points. His nearest competitor 
was 59 points behind him. In the one 
meter board, he won with 465.70 
points. His nearest competitor there 
was 41 points away. 

Colten was also National champion at 
the one and three meter boards in 2002. 

Recently, Colten was named to the 
PSAC's "Winter Top Ten". He was one 
of five men recognized in the PSAC for 
not only his athletic performance but 
academic as well. 

Clarion is graduating two very talent- 
ed athletes. They give underclassmen 
something to strive for in the future. 
Stodart and Colten prove the impor- 
tance of succeeding not only in athlet- 
ics, but also in acadmics.

Golden Eagle Athletics; a year in review 



by Stephanie DeFlorentis 
Clarion Call Sports Editor 

2002-2003 goes down as 
another exciting year for Golden 
Eagle athletics. 

The records broken, the 
accomplishments made, and the 
honors earned have been count- 
less for over 360 student-ath- 
letes. 

Every team enjoyed successes 
of their own whether they were 
battling for a title or just making 
major improvements in their 
respective programs. 

The Golden Eagles athletic 
family is one that you won't find 
at most schools. They are a 
bonded group that not only sup- 
ports their own teams but other 
teams. 

It is often that you will find the 
football team at a volleyball 
game or the baseball team at a 
soccer game. 

That one simple factor of sup- 
port may be why Clarion 
University continues to make a 
name for themselves, not only in 
the PSAC, but across the coun- 
try. 

Let's take a look back at the 
highlights of Clarion's 16 athlet- 




ic teams during the 2002-2003 
year: 

Men's and Women's Cross 
Country:The women's cross 
country team is coming off of 
their most successful season in 
school history. They finished in 
first place at the Duquense, Lock 
Haven, and Gettysburg meets. 
The team finished an impressive 
third at PSAC's, second at 
Regionals, and 20th at Nationals. 
It was the first time the team 




SOCCER 



MEN'S BASKETBALL 



ever made a trip to Nationals. 
Melissa Terwillinger, Anna 
Beck, and Evelyn Abiola 
recieved All-Region honors. 

On the men's side, they faced 
some challenges with such a 
young team. However, they 
improved times with each meet 
they ran. 

Football: The football team fin- 
ished 7-4 this season (3-3 in the 
PSAC-West). They opened their 
season against Division I-AA 
Youngstown State and shocked 
fans holding them to a close 
game. Clarion rushed for a single 
game record of 519 yards against 
Glenville State. Several Golden 
Eagles set and broke records and 
recieved numerous honors. 
Senior Rob Walker broke the 



single game record for touch- 
downs, senior Adam Almashy 
was the first quarterback in 
school history to rush for 1,000 
yards, and senior Troy Bower 
was named the "PSAC 
Defensive Player of the Year". 
Eleven other players were named 
to All-Psac teams. More impres- 
sively, Reggie Wells, recently 
signed with the Arizona 
Cardinals when he was selected 
in the sixth round of the 2003 
NFL draft. 

Golf: The golfers placed very 
well in the majority of their 
matches this year. In the fall at 
the Glenville State Invitational 
they placed sixth out of 15 teams 
and at the WVIAC Regionals, 
they placed first. During the 
spring season, they placed sec- 
ond at the WVIAC Regionals 
and came in a close second at the 
PSAC Championships. 

Sophomore Matt Guyton 
recieved PSAC golf "Player of 
the Year" honors for the second 
straight year after placing first at 
PSAC's. Along with Guyton, 
senior Ryan Peffer, sophomore 
Lou Jesiolkiewic, and juniors 
Robert Chisholm and Paul Garris 
represented Clarion at NCAA's. 
Soccer: The soccer team made 



some major strides as they com- 
peted in their second season in 
the NCAA. They finished 3-14-1 
overall. The team won three 
times as many games as they did 
in 2001 and scored two times as 
many goals. They stayed com- 
petitive with each team they 
faced only being defeated by a 
couple goals. Marianna Reino 
led the team with five goals. 
Freshmen Jayme Violi had four 





FOOTBALL 



TENNIS 

goals, and junior Becky Stewart 
had three goals. Sophomore 
Alisha Turner and Violi both had 
four assists. Keeper C.J. Gattens 
had over 200 saves. 
Tennis: The tennis team finished 
their season with 9-6 record and 
tied for a fifth place at the PSAC 
Championships. After a 2-3 fall, 
they bounced back with a strong 
7-3 spring season, including a 2- 
1 record at PSAC's. Senior 
Brooke Vukich went 8-4 in sin- 
gles and 10-3 in doubles, senior 
Brandy Vukich posted an 8-4 
record in singles and a 7-6 
record in doubles and senior 
Cara Bobish posted a 6-8 singles 
record and 4-9 record at doubles 
during their final season. They 
return many underclassmen and 



look to continue their success. 
Volleyball: The volleyball team 
is coming of an impressive sea- 
son. They finished 31-5 over al 
and 7-3 in the PSAC. The team 
made their first ever trip to the 
Regional tournament. 

Numerous individual records 
were set throughout the season. 
Junior Mel Bull set the school 
record for single season kills. 
Junior Jackie Hill broke the 
school record for career assists. 
Both recieved PSAC Player of 
the Week honors. They only lost 
one senior to graduation and 
return an experienced group of 
underclassmen. 

Men's Basketball: The men had 
another successful season on the 
court. They finished 19-10 over- 
all and 7-5 in the PSAC-West 
sending them the PSAC playoffs 
once again. Rollie Smith hit the 
1,000 point milestone and never 
looked back finishing his career 
qith 1,468 points, 455 assists, 
154 steals, and 390 rebounds. 
The future looks bright as they 
return several talented freshmen 
including Terrance Vaughns who 
scored 301 points his freshmen 
season and was named Rookie of 
the Week three times.
