"Americans have
been on the verge of
losing their national
pastime..."
Dr. Stanton Green
"Why McGwire's Home Run
is Good for America"
Mark McGwire may have
saved the national pastime and
with it a good part of American
culture. A bold statement?
Perhaps, but here is why I think
not.
With the twentieth century
coming to a close, Americans
have been on the verge of losing
their national pastime and with it
all that baseball has been defin-
ing in what it is to be an
American. From its beginnings
as four stakes in a square in an
open pasture in a game called
Townball, to its modern configu-
ration of well-groomed diamonds
in retro ballparks, baseball has
both reflected and helped define
American values. Throughout the
. twentieth century, it has played a
role in creating successive gener-
ations of Americans (most often,
but not exclusively boys and
men) through the assimilation of
immigrants and the socialization
of children. With one swing of a
bat and a series of hugs, Mark
McGwire reminded us of this.
Baseball has long been a calling
card to immigrants and aconnec-
tion between generations. My
emotional response to
McGwire's home run brought me
back pictures of my father and
his friends playing stickball on
the Lower East Side of New
York. All of these ball players
were first generation Americans
being raised in the tenements of
the Lower East Side by parents
who were probably living more
like Europeans than New
Yorkers. But their children were
playing baseball. And this was
carried on to their grandchildren
such as my brother and myself.
Who can forget the sight of
Mark McGwire, after he crossed
home plate, holding his son Matt
high? And almost as if he wanted
to make sure we got point, he
climbed into the stands to hug the
children of Roger Maris to show
his respect and to pass on the
moment to the Maris family.
Baseball is our national pastime
because it provides family con-
nections. I watched McGwire's
home run with my 12-year-old
son just as I watched Maris'
homerun with my father when I
was 12. McGwire's record tying
61st home run was hit on his
father's 61st birthday. Some
might say that these are just his-
torical coincidences. But that is
just the point: these historical
moments are what baseball has
always cherished and kept for us
as a society.
Upon his arrival last year, the
community bond between
McGwire and St. Louis seemed
almost immediate. The support
he received from the fans and the
respect he returned was clear
(and loud) after he hit number 62.
But the effect of this moment of
baseball (and all that led to it)
goes well beyond this traditional
baseball town on the Mississippi.
Indeed, the relationship between
McGwire and Sammy Sosa
speaks to the diverse community
we call America and to the fact
that we may be the only country
in the world that can prosper as a
nation of immigrants. The friend-
ship they have developed in their
quest for Maris' record speaks
volumes on what can happen if
we all live together as Americans.
The hug between the native-born
American and the Dominican
bom immigrants was an indica-
tion of what America can be.
Recently, I brought my children
to Cooperstown for our first visit.
During our tour of the Hall of
Fame, our conversation revolved
around my memories of the hall
of famers. I recounted events I
had witnessed during my child-
hood including Roger Maris' 61st
home run. I also shared with my
children the story of when Babe
Ruth hit a home run over their

Kristen Davis, Editor-in-Chief
Welcome back kids, for anoth-
er year at Clarion University! I
have to admit that I am having an
absolutely great year so far, and I
couldn't be more enthusiastic
about The Clarion Call as well
as everything else.
I think that the newspaper has
potential to be high quality this
year. Our seasoned vets Mike,
Steve, Nate, Danielle, and Jnel
are ready to take their experience
from last year and run with it.
(Especially Mike, our right hand
man!) And I am very excited to
have Jeff, Tun, George, Tom,
Matt and Codey on Executive
Board. Their enthusiasm began
last spring, before we even start-
ed! I also wanted to thank the
assistants. I hope you guys never
feel like you are in a thankless
job. I have already seen Leslie
and Shawn in the office getting
started, and Matt has made it a
point to help out since last year-
not to mention Chris and Jason
who have been around forever.
You guys are wonderful.
Judging by our organizational
meeting, I am very pleased to see
that students of all majors are
getting involved with the school
newspaper. I am so glad to see
that you are taking advantage of
the one thing that is totally creat-
ed by you, the student.
This summer, I%egan thinking
about how this is the last summer
I will ever have to worry about
coming back to Clarion
University; I am graduating in
May. At first this thought thrilled
me to death, but now I am not so
sure.
I can't complain because I had
a great summer. I had many
unique experiences.
I swam with stingrays in Grand
Cayman and climbed a waterfall
in Jamaica. I realized that there is
a whole big world out there that
is waiting for me to visit. But as
back to school time got nearer, I
actually began to look forward to
it. And when I finally got here, it
was good old Clarion, but some-
thing had changed. It wasn't the
town or the people. It was my
attitude.
Call me a nerd, but instead of
complaining about classses I
want to go overboard doing the
best I can in them. Instead of say-
ing to myself, "there is always
next week to spend time with
friends," I find myself wanting
to spend as much time with them
as possible. And instead of avoid-
ing people with whom I grew
apart, I really want them to be in
my life again. At the very least I
want to make an effort to extend
the olive branch. I know that at
least in one case, it was definite-

"Too many
nearby
Dear Editor,
It may seem facetious to com-
plain about where college stu-
dents put their feet. This is espe-
cially so in an age when the
awareness of the issues of racism,
gun proliferation, drug use, fre-
quent school massacres, date
rape, teenage pregnancies and
addiction to tobacco in our soci-
ety is impossible to avoid.
Who can explain what causes
so many students to unconscious-
ly, insensitively and impolitely
attack, damage and dirty the best
furniture the university can
afford with meandering feet and
footwear than plods the best and
worst of our environment?
H
students put their feet ort
seats and furniture."
Some can very reasonably
claim that parental teaching in an
earlier time prevented these
crude, irresponsible and less than
civilized assaults on the persons
and things that surround us most
closely.
Too many students plant their
feet on nearby seats and furni-
ture. A visit to Gemmell displays
that sad and immature scene to
the public. It's kid stuff, but the
messages that behavior sends are
many; all negative!
First, it suggests that parents
evidently failed to teach respect
for their home, its costs and sac-
rifices, even for the parents them-
selves. Surely it's a put-down of
the home from which the guilty
came.
It says that a shoe, clean or oth-
erwise, misplaced on an adjoin-
ing seat, shows no respect for the
unseated others, for the universi-
ty, its property, its limited budget
or for the students of tomorrow.
Aside from the insensitivity and
disrespect it displays towards
others, it proclaims that one has
little self respect or concern for
the perception of oneself it leaves
with others.
However, I am reminded to be
thankful that my parents taught
us to keep our feet on the floor.

'Almost every week the cafeteria
serves an unpopular dish that near-
no one eats..."
ly
Dear Editor,
In the April 23, 1998 issue of
The Clarion Call, there was a car-
toon in the entertainment section
that read, "Instructions. Flush
(toilet) twice, it's a long way to
the cafeteria." Upon reading this,
I had to laugh, but then I realized
that the food at Chandler Dining
Hall really is not very good. So I
am offering three suggestions
that I feel should improve the
quality of the meals.
The first revision should be
made to the menu. Almost every
week this cafeteria serves an
unpopular dish that nearly no one
eats. My solution is to have a
group of students aid in the mak-
ing of the menus. Therefore, the
students would have more choic-
es tha most of them were satis-
fied with.
The second issue that needs to
be addressed is the temperature
of the food. Almost all of the
food is cold by the time the stu-
dents get to eat their meals. This
is probably the most urgent issue
that could be corrected to
increase students' tolerance for
the meals provided.
The third improvement should
be to revise the recipes. Every
once in a while, the food really
does taste good, but the meals are
not very consistent in taste. Many
times, the food is very bland,
which automatically turns the
students off.
So keep in mind a business's
number one goal is to please the
customer. Now there are many
customers who are dissatisfied
because since fall semester start-
ed, there has been a drastic
decline in food quality. So wehn
the structural renovations are
completed in the cafeteria, hope-
fully the improvements in the
food will be too.
Sincerely,
Erik Omlor

"This is the first incident
of rape I have ever heard
of in Clarion..."
Dear Editor,
I found the article "Clarion man
faces attempted rape charges" in
the volume 80 issue from May 7,
1998 an eye opener. This article
made me see that Clarion is not a
perfect crime free environment
like everyone would like to
believe. How many times a day
do we see girls, especially, walk-
ing outside of Clarion by them-
selves? Is this really safe, and is
there enough safety features on
this campus?
Even though this incident did-
n't take place on campus, you
still have to wonder what a per-
son is to do if they are attacked
on campus. Honestly, if anyone
was raped, what could those "call
buttons" do for you? And if I was
being raped, I would not stay in
\y worth making this effort
because I would have really been
missing out on someone who is
probably one of the greatest peo-
ple I have ever known. And I am"
really glad we made peace early
in the year too. Now we will have
the whole year, instead of pulling
an "I'm sorry, gotta run" at the
May senior walk!
I want to leave Clarion, know-
ing that I did the best job I could
and was the best person I could
be. Advice to underclassmen:
take advantage of every second.
You have your whole life to
climb waterfalls and swim with
stingrays in foreign lands.
Clarion is a land in itself that
needs exploring first. Do the best
you can and spend every second
with the people you care about.
one place. I would not and could
not stay there and wait for Public
Safety. Public Safety would prob-
ably take too long and not show
up in time. Would Public Safety
even take one of those buttons
being pushed seriously? This is
Clarion.
This is the first incident of rape
I have ever heard of in Clarion.I
feel really bad about this incident
and hope nothing like this ever
happens again. Are we safe in
Clarion? Instead of busting up
parties, we should be worrying
about safety precautions on cam-
pus. I am not saying that the
school is unprepared, but a little
old fashioned.

" I don't expect the food to be extraordinary, but I
believe right now it is not fit to serve a college student."
Dear Editor,
My letter is concerning
Chandler Dining Hall. I think it is
time for some changes in the din-

rience more pleasurable there.
We need to have a different vari-

foods week to week. All I hear

there is only one line open. The
key to this whole ordeal is vari-
ety. It could change the students'

"I have heard many war
stories involving
the eating of the food..."
Dear Editor,
There are two issues that great-
ly concern me. Our housing costs
are being increased to over one-
thousand dollars next semester.
From what I have heard, this
money is to be used to put new
furniture in Campbell Hall as
well as to remodel their bath-
rooms. It is also to be used to put
new windows in Nair and
Wilkinson Halls. Well, perhaps
Nair and Wilkinson need new
windows, and I'm sure that the
residents of Campbell will enjoy
their new furniture and bath-
rooms. However, I live in Ralston
Hall, which has some of the old-
est furniture on campus, and the
bathrooms certainly leave some-
thing to be desired. I'm not sug-
gesting that I shouldn't have to
pay for the renovations that are
currently in order, but I am sug-
gesting that the money for these
projects could be better spent
elsewhere.
On the subject of better spent
money, I would like to direct
your attention to Chandler
Dining Hall. This is probably the
most feared and hated place on
campus. One can never be sure
that they will not become sick as
a result of eating the food at
Chandler. I have heard many war
stories involving the eating of
food prepared for the students of
Clarion University by Daka. I
myself, became ill once from the
food at Chandler. Their selection
is also terrible. Burgers, fries, and
pizza get old after a while. The
situation with milk is also appar-
ently quite bad. Almost every
time I try to get a glass of milk
there isn't any, and when there is
I am almost afraid to drink it.
This wouldn't be such a problem
for me if I had not personally
seen someone spooning chunks
out of the milk that they had just
gotten. It also seems to be diffi-
cult for Daka to make enough of
the food that I do like. When I go
back for seconds, there is none
left. And this is usually early on
in my meal. I would like to see
these issues addressed, because
they are very serious.

REINHARD: Outlook 'gloomy' to frustrate Clarion students
Says funding options limited
by Steve Ostrosky
News Editor
In her annual address to faculty
Sept.l, Clarion University presi-
dent Diane Reinhard said "the
outlook is cloudy at best" for tap-
ping into new revenue sources in
the next several years.
" What is very clear is that the
costs associated with pressing
needs and with mounting new ini-
tiatives that might yield addition-
al revenue will have to come from
the reallocation of existing
resources," she said.
Earlier this year, the State
System of Higher Education
(SSHE) Board of Governors
voted to freeze the tuition rate at
all 14 SSHE universities with the
requirement that each school trim
their proposed budgets for fiscal
year 1998-99 by a combined $8
million in order to balance them.
After long wait
George Groff/Clarion Call
Clarion University president Diane Reinhard (above) made
her annual Fall Faculty Address on September 1 in Hart
Chapel. She touched upon numerous issues during that
speech.
According to information from
the SSHE, the total reduction for
each school would amount to less
than one percent.
Here at Clarion University, a
total of $780,000 needed to be
reallocated as part of the tuition
freeze package.
Reinhard told faculty that she
will push for a multi-year plan
when looking at budgets and real-
locations as opposed to the cur-
rent system where those financial
items were handled on a yearly
basis.
During the speech, Reinhard
also touched upon some of the
major accomplishments that have
occurred over the last year. She
noted the efforts of Computing
Services to both install the new
CNet system as well as prepare
the University for the "Year 2000
or Y2k crisis."
Another CU accomplishment
she touched upon was the accred-
itation of the College of Business
by the American Assembly of

(AACSB) last Spring.
Something else Reinhard noted
was that the University received a
commendation from the review-
ers of CU's Middle States

New parking lot finally opens
by Mark Strieker
News Writer
Student drivers were greeted
with a new parking lot when they
returned for the fall semester. The
approximately three-hundred
space lot on Greenville Avenue is
operational, if not entirely com-
plete.
A wall still needs to be con-
structed around the perimeters of
the lot. Doug Hepler, a worker at
the site, said the wall could be
completed in about four weeks,
but it may take more time.
Dr. Heather Haberaecker, vice
president for finance and adminis-
tration, said the final cost is not
yet known, since the wall has not
been built yet. Haberaecker esti-
mates that the cost of construction
will be over $500,000. the land
on which the lot was constructed
cost over $300,000 according to a
deed at the Assessment Office in
the Clarion County Courthouse.

The new parking lot on Greenville Avenue (above) opened
on August 31. The parking situation on campus may
become tricky once Parking Lot B is closed, which is set
to begin September 25.
Money in that fund comes from The Auxiliary fund is used to pay
students who live on campus, for large-scale projects in resi-
dence halls such as plumbing and
painting. Habereacker said the
money taken from the Auxiliary
Fund will be replaced this year.
Haberaecker said all the money
used to construct the parking lot
will eventually come from the
Student Recreation Center fee.
The Greenville lot was built to
make up for spaces that will be
eliminated by the construction of
the Recreation Center. Half of
parking lot B will be lost.
Haberaecker said the earliest
those spaces will be made
unavailable is Friday, September
25.
Haberaecker said parking

Clarion University students
are up in arms over computer
breakdowns, malfunctions, gen-
eral problems and closed com-
puter labs during the opening
few weeks of the Fall 1998
semester.
Students agree that there are
three major problems with the
computer systems at Clarion's
main campus. The first problem
voiced by students is that there
are never enough computers for
them to use. Next, students are
upset that the computer lab in
Becker Hall, which has approxi-
mately 70 terminals, was closed
until after Labor Day. A third
complaint is that the systems
seem to be slower now than at
the end of last semester.
"They(the computers) are
slow," said Casey Keck, sopho-
more. "A lot of the problems
occur when people don't know
how to use the computers."
There are seven major comput-
er labs on campus, and each
computer is used for a variety of
tasks. From research to the
Internet to word processing to
writing computer programs,
most students have projects that
require computer access.
Some students are upset with
what seems to be constant wait-
ing in order to use computers,
especially with using labs in the
residence halls. "Wilkinson Hall
only has two computers with
VAXA access, but they are also
used for word processing," said
Keck. "The dorms need more
computers for both E-mail and
for word processing."
Another aspect that irritates
students is the unavailability of
many of the computer labs.
Becker Lab was closed until
Tuesday, Sept. 8, more than a
week after classes started for the
semester.
Many students were annoyed
by this fact. "It sucked," said
Debbie Odosso, junior.
"Becker Lab normally does not
open until the first Thursday in
any Fall semester," said Dr.
Dana Madison, Chair of the
Computer Information Science
Department. "The lab is staffed
by work-study students who
meet on Tuesday to produce a
schedule by Wednesday and be
open by Thursday... that is as fast
as you can turn around with stu-
dent workers."
Also, the CNet project, which
is the new fiber-optic computer
network being installed through-
out the campus, slowed down the
opening of Becker Lab because
of work that still needed to be
completed.
Director of Computing
Services Karen DeMauro was
unavailable for comment regard-
ing the progress of the CNet pro-
ject or other computer concerns
of students.
The third complaint many stu-
dents have with the computers is
that they are too slow. "VAXA is
very slow," said Douglas
Haskins. "It takes forever to
write a single E-mail message."
"Why is it so slow? It's impos-
sible," said Suzanne DeGrazia.
According to information pro-
vided by Computing Services,
once the new fiber-optic lines are
completely installed and the
CNet project is up and running,
the computers should run faster
than before.

Parking Lot B (above) is currently full, but will soon be
empty once construction of the Student Recreation
Center begins.
Parking changes affect students (from page 6)
counted in each lot every two hours. Grafton said an accurate count
of how many cars are being parked in the lots won't be available until
after the survey is concluded at the end of this week.
Cheryl Beckman, a Senior Elementary Education major, is con-
cerned that the Greenville lot isn't enough to compensate. Beckman
said "I think we're going to be back to square one after we lose that
parking lot."
Beckman said she uses the Greenville lot every day. Melissa
Obenrader, a Senior Rehabilitation Science major, said she will park
in employee spaces and risk getting a fine. Obenrader, a commuter,
says parking at the University is "ridiculous."
Residents who live directly behind the Greenville lot are generally
disappointed that the wall has not been built yet. Laurie Snyder of 19
East Eighth Street says residents were promised that a wall would be
built before the parking lot would be used. "Noise has definitely
increased," said Snyder.
Residents did say, however, that the lights in the lot are sufficiently
directional and do not shine in their windows.
College News... in brief
Professor becomes first disabled person to
scale Mount Everest
by Katie Bodendorfer, College Press Exchange
Tom Whittaker, a professor of adventure education at Prescott
College, is returning to campus with a towering achievement behind
him.
He is the first disabled person to scale Mount Everest. After a cou
pie of failed attempts, Whittaker, who lost his right foot and kneecap
in a car accident nearly 20 years ago, successfully made the trek in
May with help from a prosthetic foot.
The injury has slowed, but never stopped, his mountaineering. To
encourage others to follow suit, Whittaker founded the Cooperative
Wilderness Handicapped Outdoor Group, an organization devoted to
showing people that they can overcome their disabilities.
"People should be valued for their contributions to society-not their
gender, race or physical completeness," Whittaker said. " I'm dedi
cated to lighting a fire in people by building their self-esteem, their
feelings of empowerment and by engaging their powers of imagina
tion. From there, they can make their contributions."
Six of Whittaker 's students took his words to heart and agreed to fol
low him up a portion of the mountain. The students picked up trash
along the way and helped their professor and other disabled climbers
set up base-camp tents at an altitude of 17,500 feet. When Whittaker
and other experienced climbers continued up the mountain, the stu-
dents dispersed- some to work on local reforestation projects, others
to teach environmental education in local schools.
Whittaker, a popular professor on campus, wants his students to find
the same inner strength he did and to " envision themselves doing
something unique after they graduate."
"By seeking wisdom and apprenticing yourself to those people, you
empower your vision and your life," he said. "We need to count our
value by the positive effect we have on people's hearts after we die. If
we count our value by the money we have when we die, then we've
missed the point."

in increasing the number of fac
ulty.
Accountability was another
aspect that Reinhard spoke about
during her speech. "While we're
building a future that affirms our
commitment to quality, we will
need to spend more time on jus
tifying our present," she said.
She said the SSHE Board of
Governors approved an account-
ability framework for the State
System that includes the use of
24 "Performance Indicators" that
are related to costs, student suc-
cess, and diversity.
Not only will we be expected
to report on our performance vis
vis these indicators, but the
evaluation of State System presi-
dents will be tied directly to pro-
ductivity and accomplishments
in the specified areas," she com-
mented.
An important issue Reinhard
dealt with was the University's
responsibility to fund renova-
tions to facilities throughout
campus, including those that are
listed in the recently approved
Facilities Master Plan.
"Our commitments to quality
in programs and services, the
faculty and students we recruit,
our facilities, and the technology
and support that we provide for it
all come at a cost," she said
The increased burden we have
been expected to shoulder for
academic facility renovation is
one example."
She said that CU's estimated
share of the multi-million dollar
renovation and addition to
Carlson Library is $4.89 million,
and money is also needed to
replace administrative software
systems, which Reinhard said
are " aging."
After discussing these projects,
she then said that the amount of
money that Clarion University
receives from the state continues
to decrease. "Between FY
(Fiscal Year) 1983-84 and FY
1996-97, for example, state sup-
port for all of higher education
went from 11.5 percent to 9.9
percent of the Pennsylvania
General Fund Budget," she
noted. " The state appropriation
for Clarion declined as a percent-
age of total Education and
General revenue from nearly 60
percent in FY 1989-90 to 55.2%
in FY 1997-98."

$350,000 in renovations completed this summer
by Elisabeth Navarra
News Writer
While students enjoyed the sum-
mer, it was business as usual for
the people who assist in the
upkeep of facilities at Clarion
University.
Several small projects were
undertaken to maintain the upkeep
of the buildings and grounds on
and off campus. Among the pro-
jects completed were the installa-
tion of a water line at Memorial
Stadium, the painting of the water
tower and the renovation of the
bathrooms in Becht Hall.
According to Clare Heidler,
director or facilities management,
there were two reasons for
installing a water line at the stadi-
um, a project which cost $36,290.
The first reason Heidler men-
tioned was that there wasn't a fire
hydrant near the pole barn, which
is located near the practice fields.
The second reason for installing a
waterline was to provide a source
of water for the practice fields.
Heidler said that rain has been
the only source of water to the
fields and for the past few sum-
mers, there has hardly been any
rain at all. The dry conditions
caused the soil on the fields to
become hard and this sometimes
led to injuries of student athletes,
Heidler noted.
More renovations were done to
the grounds at the practice fields
after the water line was installed.
"We did other work on three of the
practice fields," Heidler said.
"Those fields were developed
from the material that was taken
out when Wilkinson, Campbell,
and Nair Halls were built."
The material was dumped where
the fields are now and used to help
build them, he said. The past
summer all the grass was removed
from the fields, as well as the
rocks and topsoil. Heidler said
the fields were then regraded by
dropping new topsoil and planting
grass. Heidler could not provide
cost figures for that practice field
project.
Another project that was com-
pleted this summer was the paint-
ing of the water tower, located
near Chandler Dining Hall. "The
water tower was painted because
there was a lead-base paint on the
tower," Heidler said. "The tower
was beginning to chip and peel. If
we had one more severe winter,
that would have compounded the
problem and all the paint would
had to have been peeled."
Heidler said that peeling all of
the paint from the tower would
have cost between $300,000 and
$350,000. The total cost for the
tower project was $83,350
because Heidler said there were a
minimal amount of chips on the
paint, the tower was simply paint-
ed over without removing the
original paint.
The bathrooms in Becht Hall
also received a face-lift this sum-
mer at a cost of $145,000. The
interiors were completely gutted
and new showers, drains, and fix-
tures were installed. Heidler said
he believes that all that may
remain of the original bathrooms
are the mirrors.
A project that began in
December was completed this
summer, also. 15 to 17 new park-
ing spaces were added behind
Becker Hall in the former location
of the basketball court. Heidler
said the job cost about $8,500
because the asphalt behind the
building had to be extended to
accommodate the new parking
spaces.
The fire alarm system in
Marwick-Boyd Fine Arts
Building was upgraded over the
summer, as well. To abide by the
Americans with Disabilities Act,
the alarm pulls had to be lowered
and strobe lights had to be added.
This alarm upgrade project, which
Heidler said costs 50 to 70 cents a
square foot, will continue in 1999
with renovations to Campbell
Hall.
A few other renovations that
were done over the summer
include: painting of the multi-
purpose room and the hallways in
Gemmell Student Complex;
painting of most of the interior of
Marwick-Boyd Fine Arts
Building; replacing the boiler
plant transformer, which Heidler
said was done to prepare for the
installation of an air conditioning
system in Founders Hall. These
three projects were done at a cost
of $78,917, Heidler said.

SSHE unveils new Apply Web software
by Gretchen Druschel
News Writer
Students who want to apply to
any of the fourteen State System
of Higher Education (SSHE) can
now do so over the Internet.
ApplyWeb is an easier and faster
way for college-bound students to
apply to any of the 14 SSHE uni-
versities in Pennsylvania.
"Clarion was the first college to
have a link with college net
ApplyWeb server. Clarion has
tried for the past two years to have
an application process over the
Net, however real success did not
occur until we linked up with
College Net," said Adam
Earnheardt, Assistant Admissions
Director. He said Clarion recom-
mended College Net to the SSHE
in regards to a joint venture with
the other thirteen state universi-
ties. Clarion also has links at six
other web sites for potential appli-
cants.
After the applicant determines
which school or schools they
would like to apply to they simply
fill out the designated application.
If they want to apply to more than
one school the ApplyWeb retains
the bsic information and then
copies it onto all the other appli-
cations such as their name and
Social Security number. This fea-
ture of the system makes it quick-
er for the applicant to fill out sev-
eral applications.
Then the ApplyWeb sends an e-
mail to one or more college's
admissions office notifying them
of an Internet application. The
college cannot take the applica-
tion fee until they receive the
application. The applicant will
receive notification from college
net, the ApplyWeb server opera-
tor, when the admissions office
receives their application.
Even though the ApplyWeb
server creates an easier way for
applicants to apply, they still have
to send transcripts through the
mail. Overall, most applicants for
the next five years will still con-
tinue to use "hard copy" applica-
tions. Clarion's Admissions
Office has already seen an
increased usage of the ApplyWeb
system for them. However, most
students still do not know about
the ApplyWeb site. Desyre
Nitowski, a junior Special
Education/Elementary Education
major, said that, "No, I didn't
know of such a system on the Net.
If it would have been accessible to
me back then I would have possi-
bly pondered the idea."
Also, Jennifer Westerman, a
freshman Special Education
/Elementary Education major,
said, "No, I am not familiar with
that system. The Internet is used a
lot today and therefore is more
convenient for me."

College of Ed. receives $6,000 Heinz PDS Grant
by Jennifer Mathis
News Writer
At the end of last semester when
students were shutting their
books and breathing a sigh of
relief, welcoming the year's end,
the faculty and adminstration of
Clarion University and Clarion
Area School District were just
cracking their books, preparing to
research and create a Professional
Development School (PDS) plan
that would win them a $6,000
grant from the Heinz Endowment.
The Clarion Area School
District was one of only six dis-
tricts across the state awarded the
grant, which will be used as seed
money to implement the PDS
plan.
According to the application for
the Planning Grant, the purpose of
the PDS is to "improve student
learning, prepare teachers plan-
ning to enter the field of educa-
tion, continue professional devel-
opment of those who are currently
teaching, and research different
teaching practices."
Clarion Area Elementary School
Principal Sue Ellen Gourley said,
"Our main goal is to come up with
a common vision of good teach-
ing." Dr. Anne Creany, one writer
of the grant proposal, said, "This
program will serve as a teaching
hospital." This "teaching hospi-
tal" will take place for the first
time in October when the mem-
bers will attend a retreat in Cook
Forest. At the retreat, members
can share ideas on what makes
teaching effective.
When Education majors begin
student teaching, they will no
longer be paired with a single
teacher, but with a whole team of
educators. University faculty will
spend more time teaching in
grades K-12.
The members forming this PDS
plan are currently working on
other grant proposals for Clarion
University and Clarion Area
Schools.
Other members of the grant
team included Dr. Gail Grejda,
Dean of the College of Education
and Human Services; Dr. Vickie
Harry, Interim Associate Dean of
the College of Education; and
four other members of the Clarion
University Education department.

After a yearlong search
Grejda named Dean of
Education and Human Services
by Mike Markewinski
News Writer
As the new term begins, students
in the College of Education and
Human Services welcomes a new
dean.
Dr. Gail Grejda, a professor of
education at Clarion University
since 1988 was. the interim dean
since August 1997.
"I have always been a lifelong
learner," Grejda said. Being a
learner has allowed her to be full
of energy, which she said helps
her bring fresh ideas and the tech-
nology concept to classrooms.
"By integrating technology with
teaching, it gives the teacher the
opportunity to deal with individ-
ual students on a one-on-one
basis," she said. "Technology
gives (the teacher) the opportuni-
ty to clone themselves."
Dr. Grejda said she understands
how the technology can help
teachers. For 17 years, Grejda
worked as an elementary teacher.
"You really need to work with stu-
dents one-on-one," she said.
Students at the education depart-
ment will be taught how to inte-
grate the technology into their
lessons, she said. As part of the
new education plans, Grejda is

transmitted as far away as the

In addition to adding more tech-
nology lessons into the curricu-
lum, Grejda said she plans to
involve education majors in more
hands on field service opportuni-
ties. She said she feels that pro-
grams such as these will help
strengthen the cooperative bridges
between basic and higher educa-
tion.
To strengthen the programs, a
Heinz grant totaling $6,000 was
given as seed money to help
establish a working relationship
between Clarion Area Schools
and the University Education
department.
Grejda said she is also commit-
ted to maintaining the high level
of national accreditation which
the College had built. The
National Council for
Accreditation of Teacher
Education recently completed a
five-year review of Clarion's pro-
grams. Although official word
will not be available until next
month, Dr. Grejda termed the visit
"very positive."
As for her personal motives, she
said, "Four generations of my
family have graduated from
Clarion and understandably, my
loyalties to Clarion are deep."

Absentee voting made easier for PA
college students, thanks to Ursinus
senior
by Christine Tatum t College Press Exchange
The whole notion of having someone drive four hours to help her
voie--l process that would take less than 10 minutes-offended Amy
Brown's sensibilities.
If she'd had a car on campus, the rising senior at Ursinus College
in Collegeville, Pa., would have made the one-hour drive home by
herself. But she didn't. And because the school is in the same coun-
ty as her voting precinct, state law prevented her from getting an
absentee ballot.
" I couldn't believe 1 wouldn't be able to vote because I was in
school," she said. "And all I could think about were those people
who would see my name and say, 'Well, there's one more apathetic
Gen X-er who doesn't care about voting.' That wasn't true of me,
and it's not true of a lot of people my age."
Brown, 21, figured other people were in the same predicament. At
her father's suggestion, she presented her case during her freshman
year to state Sen. Stewart Greenleaf and inspired a.new state law that
expands absentee voting rights. The new statute, in effect since
March 30, doesn't apply to students only. It also pertains to people
who works outside their hometowns--but within the same county-
and are unable to make it to the polls before or after work.
At Ursinus alone, the new law will make it possible for more than
160 students to get absentee ballots. Its impact statewide will be bet-
ter determined when elections roll around again in November.
"The problem dealt with a quandary that many college students
faced," Greenleaf said. "Often they don't have adequate transporta-
tion, and if they're not close to their voting district, it may as well be
another county."
Three years and two elections passed before the new law was
approved, but Brown, an economics and business major, said the wait
was worth it.
"I couldn't even vote for my own bill when it was on the ballot,"
she said. " But it was pretty cool to see that the system really can
work. One person really can make a difference.
' It just goes to show what kind of huge change can be produced
from a five-minute phone call," she added. "And I would have never
known if I'd never tried."

Faculty Senate raises questions about
committee appointment
The U.S. Court of Appeals
ruled recently that public col-
leges and universities throughout
the Fourth Circuit must provide
voting information and voter reg-
istration to disabled students.
The ruling stems from a
suit filed against several Virginia
officials by the National
Coalition for Students with
Disabilities. The coalition
alleged that at least one Virginia
University dodged its responsi-
bility to provide voter informa-
tion to disabled students as out-
lined in the 1993 National Vother
Registration Act.
Some school and state
officials argued that colleges and
universities should be exempt
from the law and free of the cum-
bersome and costly duties of dol-
ing put information and signing
up new voters.
A three-judge panel of
the appellate court sided with the
coalition, ruling that the law
requires colleges to ask disabled
students whether they are regis-
tered to vote. The panel also said
the law requires colleges to keep
registration materials on hand
and, if needed, must assist stu-
dents with completing necessary
paperwork.
The ruling affects public
campuses throughout the Fourth
Circuit-Maryland, North
Carolina, South Carolina,
Virginia, and West Virginia.

Discussion Monday at the first
Faculty Senate meeting of the
1998-99 academic year revolved
around committee appointments
and new information about a think
tank report conducted by the
Commonwealth Foundation in
Harrisburg.
The report implies that State
System of Higher Education
(SSHE) universities along with
Penn State, Temple, Lincoln,
and the University of Pittsburgh
are "failing to provide
Pennsylvania students with the
fundamentals of a college educa-
tion," according to Professor
Colleen Sheehan, a member of the
Governor's Commission on
Academic Standards.
Senate decided to obtain more
information about the study
before discussing the issue fur-
ther.
Dr. Ralph Leary, Chair of the
Committee on Academic
Standards, said that there were 50
to 60 more suspensions during the
1997-98 academic year than in the
year 1996-97. Leary said that if
anyone on Senate had further
questions, he wouldrelay them to
the former chair of the
Committee.
Also at the meeting, Faculty
Senate Chair Dr. Mary Jo Reef
announced that Senate now has a
World Wide Web site, and that all
information about meetings will
be made available to the public on
this new Web page.
Dr. Scott Kuehn, also a Senate
member, designed the site. The
web site can be accessed from the
Clarion University homepage
(www.clarion.edu) and then click-
ing on Faculty Senate. A meeting
schedule, an on-line discussion, a
membership list, records of min-
utes of past meetings, Faculty
Senate's constitution and by-laws
are some of the options to choose
from on the Web site. There are
also links to other SSHE universi-
ties as well as some web sites for
parliamentary help.
Senate minuies fr jm as far back
as three years ago available for
public view on the Web site.
In other business, Senate
approved the appointment of vari-
ous faculty and staff members to
serve on different committees or
sub-committees. Questions were
raised about the appointment of
Dr. Donald Nair of Counseling
Services to the Committee on
Academic Standards by Dr.
Jeanne Slattery. She said that stu-
dents might be uncomfortable
having their counselor decide
their academic future. She added
that his presence on the commit-
tee might violate ethical
Psychology standards.
While all other committee
appointments were approved, the
motion to approve the appoint-
ment of Nair and Janis Jarecki-
Liu to the Committee on
Academic Standards was tabled
until Senate's next meeting.
The committee chairs of Faculty
Senate for the 1998-99 academic
year are: Academic Standards,
Dr. Ralph Leary; Budget
Committee, Dr. Karen Bolinger;
Committee on Courses and
Programs of Study, Dr. Elizabeth
MacDaniel; Committee on the
Committees and Rules, Dr. Fred
Keen; Committee on Faculty
Affairs, Dr. Hallie Savage;
Committee on Institutional
Resources, Dr. Peter Dalby;
Committee on Student Affairs, Dr.
Doug Smith; Committee on
Venango Campus, Dr. Anita Hall.
Faculty Senate will have a
police meeting Monday, Sept. 21
at 3:30 p.m. at B-8 Hart Chapel.
Their next regular meeting has
been set for Monday, Sept. 28 also
at 3:30 p.m. in B-8 Hart Chapel.

Sorority sister guilty of stealing from sisters
Courtesy: College Press
Service
Sisters of Pittsburgh State
University(Kansas)'s chapter of
Sigma Sigma Sigma watched in
stony silence in a Kansas court-
room as their former sister, Kelly
Jennings, pleaded guilty to steal-
ing $74, 150 from the sorority.
With hejp from her parents,
Jennings, who had served as the
sisterhood treasurer, repaid the
sorority $76, 325-enough to
cover the money she had taken
and the expense of an accountant
hired to look into the sorority's
finances.
Jennings, who has dropped out
of school and is working to repay
her parents for the restitution,
sobbed in the courtroom: " I'm
sorry. It just got out of hand. I'm
very sorry."
Jennings was sentenced to two
years of probation and 100 hours
of community service. She is
liable for any remaining court fees
and must draft a handwritten letter
of apology to the sorority.
Jennings' punishment isn't harsh
enough, many sorority members
said.
"I think she deserved jail time,"
Tri-Sigma member Lucia Harding
told the university's student news-
paper, The Collegio.
'There was no lesson learned."
Added member MandLSchnaer.
"She'll go (clean) up a park and
get on with her life. This has
damaged rush and affected our
reputation on campus. The sen-
tence is not fair to us. The penal-
ty isn't strong enough."

LIFESTYLES
Clarion University holds Convocation
Freshmen welcomed with new program
by Jeff Say
Lifestyles Editor
As the new year begins, the famil-
iar sights and sounds of campus
return. The buzz of students get-
ting reacquainted with old friends,
students rushing to class and the
wide-eyed look of fear, astonish-
ment and bewilderment on the
faces of freshmen as they wander
around campus. Those freshmen
feelings were eased this year with a
Freshmen convocation.. The pro-
gram featured a bagpipe concert,
the faculty in full academic regalia,
welcoming speeches by both facul-
ty and student leaders, and the
freshmen's first chance to sing the
Clarion University Alma Mater.
The evening was kicked off by
Evan Elliot, a student here at
Clarion, who treated the new stu-
dents to a bagpipe conceit as they
entered Marwick-Boyd. Various
welcoming speeches were given
including President Reinhard who
welcomed the freshmen to the
University. The students were then
greeted by sophomore theatre
major Eric Grugel who gave them
an idea of life at the university.
Faculty members Dr. Ngo Tu, Dr.
Iseli Krauss, and Dr. Joseph
Grunenwald spoke on "what it
means to be part of an academic
community" and "the historical
tradtions of the university." A
mulitmedia presentation designed
by students taking Dr. Sue Hilton's
presentation graphics. The convo-
cation ended with the freshmen
singing the Alma Mater and a
musical recessional as the faculty
exited the auditorium.
This years convocation was pro-
posed by the faculty led Retention
Advisory Council. The council's
plans for the program were to
encourage students to get involved
in campus life and in the process
get a positive start as they begin a
new chapter in their academic life.
The convocation was used as a
forum for students to see the differ-
ence from their previous education
and that they are entering a level of
higher learning by utilizing ceremo-
nial effects. According to Dr.
Barbara Grugel, chair of the convo-
cation committee, "Convocation
provides a visual link to the univer-
sity's history. This ceremonial
introduction to college life also is
designed to be a bonding experi-
ence for the students who will
become the graduating class of
2002."
Student interest in the convoca-
tion was high. Adam Earnhardt
Chairperson of the Freshmen
Convocation Subcommittee said,
"The committee was impressed
with the freshmen's turnout. I was
glad to see the support for the fac-
ulty and staff."
Faculty believes that the convo-
cation will help ease the students
transition to life here at Clarion in
the upcoming weeks.

Korn and Hole offer up new albums The Fountain of Youth
Simple Gifts
by James "Korn" Gates
Lifestyles Writer
Hello music lovers and haters.
My name is James "Korn" Gates
and I am talcing over the music
reviews for the year.
The first two albums up for
review are the highly anticipated
Follow the Leadef "by Korn (the
band, not me) and Celeberity
Skin"by Hole.
Follow the Leader is the third
release from Korn on Immortal
Records. For those of you not
familiar with Korn simply mix
metal and hardcore riffs with hip-
hop and rap beats. Throw some
funk and jazz into the mix and
add seven-string sludgy guitsrs
and you get the Kom groove,
which is brutal and intense.
Some of my particular favorites
include; "It's on" and "B.B.K.",
which rock as hard and brutal as
ever. In "Pretty" Jonathon Davis
sings *about his previous experi-
ences working in a morgue, see-
ing babies after being abused.
"Dead Bodies Everywhere" is
just as thought provoking as
"Pretty" lyrically, but the music is
more entrhalling, making it one
of my favorites on the disk.
Where else could a gruesome line
like "Dead Bodies Everywhere"
be so darn catchy? The final
track, "My Gift to You" opens
with Davis playing the bagpipes,
which Korn should employ more
often. Another gem on the disk is
the hidden track, "Earache my
Eye" made famous by Cheech
and Chong, featuring Cheech
Marin on vocals.
The highly talked about track,
"All in the Family" is not as good
as everyone says. Honestly, it is a
decent song with Davis and Fred
Durst of Limp Bizkit involved in
a verbal war, but Durst severly
he drags the song down. Other
songs that I could have done
without include "Children of the
Korn" with Ice Cube and
"Cameltosis". Both tracks are
layered too much and have stale
riffs.
I will admit that I was unim-
pressed with this disk upon first
listening. I thought it sounded
like all of their other albums, but
it grew on me after the third lis-
ten. Right away though, I noticed
that the disk is darker than the
others. It isn't as good as Korn's
self-titled debut, but it blows
sophmore album Life is Peachy
away.
Hole is Kurt Cobain's widow,
Courtney Love's band, for those
of you who did not know.
Celeberity Skin follows the criti-
lacks in the talent department so cally acclaimed Live Through
Simple Gifts performs

Folk group "Simple Gifts", who
describe themselves as "three
ladies playing twelve instru-
ments", came to Clarion to enter-
tain and inform last weekend.
Hosting a jam session and work-
shop on Friday night, they also
put on a full length show last
Saturday in Hart Chapel.
Founded by Karen Hirshon in
1989, "Simple Gifts" has had an
ever-changing face over the
course of four albums. The cur-
rent line-up consists of; Hirshon
(playing, among other things, vio-
lin, banjo, and mandolin), Linda
Riddleton (viola, recorder), and
Rachel Hall (piano, concertina).
The band takes their name from a
tune featured in the Aaron
Copeland ballet "Appalachian
Spring".
Beginning with the workshop
Friday night, the ladies presented
Issues to be discussed will include:
self-esteem
relationships
women's changing roles
This group will begin meeting on Friday, September 18,1998, from
2:00-3:30 p.m., and will continue to me>t weekly throughout the fall
semester. Both traditional and non-traditional female students are
welcome. Anyone interested should call the Department of
Counseling Services or stop by 148 Egbert Hall. Ms. Kay King will
facilitate this group.
All names and information will be kept confidential.
Women of all races, sexual orientation, religion, and women with
different abilities are welcome.
their unique blend of Irish jigs,
American reels, and the haunting
melodies of Gypsy music to an
eager crowd. It was easy to see
that everyone was excited; many
people brought along their own
instruments to play along with the
band.
I was able to speak with Rachel
Hall Friday evening and we dis-
cussed the nature of her music.
She told me that there is a com-
mon misconception that all folk
music has singing, and is in the
style of 60's legend Bob Dylan.
"Simple Gifts" are the exception
to this stereotype since their

This, which vaulted Hole and
Love to mega-starstatus.
Unfortunately, this album does
not live up to it's predecessor.
One of the few tracks that
caught my attention was the first
single and title track "Celeberity
Skin", but the album goes down-
hill from there. Billy Corgan, of
Smahing Pumpkins fame, wrote
and helped produce four tracks on
the album including the rocking
opening title track, but the
Pumpkin-boy failed to deliver.
I can see this album becoming a
smash hit because Hole modified
their sound more to the main-
stream. Songs like "Awful" and
"Malibu" are nothing but your
run of the mill, light college rock,
which should become over-
played radio staples. Hole seem-
ingly abandoned their distorted
guitars and screechy vocals for a
more refined mellow sound.
Think Gin Blosoms with a
female vocalist.
Fortunatley, Courtnely Love
sings melodically throughout the
disk, although her voice isn't very
feminine. Still, she sounds a lot
better without the cigarettes and
beer voice that became her trade-
mark in the past.

Since this is Love's first album
since becoming a movies star,
most of her lyrics deal with the
Hollywood lifestyle and how she
dealt with it. I actually had a hard
time listening to the full album in
one sitting.
Both of these albums will not
live up to the greatness of earlier
albums, but Korn has a greater
chance of doing so than does
Hole. Follow the Leader grew
on me after a couple of listens,
but I still cannot get into
Celeberity Skin.
Rating these albums on a scale
of 1 to 10, Follow the Leader
would get a seven and better luck
next time to Courtney Love and
Hole because they end up with a
four. Now I'll have to forego
buying books to pick up the new
Korn album.

Recently I was at a party host-
ed by a younger couple, defined
as "a couple that had not yet been
born when 1 started worrying
about cholesterol." You will
never guess whose music these
young people were people:
Bobby Darin's. Yes. Bobby
Darin, hepcat swinger from my
youth, is cool again!
No doubt you've read about
how the Hot New Trend among
"with-it" 20-something people is
to eschew the rock scene and pre-
tend tht thye're swank sophisti-
cates living three or four decades
ago — drinking martinis, going
to nightclubs, dressing like the
late Frank Sinatra (not the
women, of course; they're dress-
ing like the late Dean Martin),
voting for Dwight Eisenhower,
using words like "eschew", etc.
This makes me wonder: If old
things are cool, could I become
cool again?
I have not felt remotely cool
for a long time, thanks largely to
the relentless efforts of my
teenage son, whose goal in life is
to make me feel 3,500 years old.
We'll be in the car, and he'll say,
"You wanna hear my new CD?"
And I, flattered that he thinks his
old man might like the same
music he does, will say "Sure!"
So he increases the sound-system
volume setting from "4" to
"Meteor Impact," and he puts in
a CD by a band with a name like
"Putsule," and the next thing I
know gigantic nuclear bass notes
have blown ou the car windows
and activated both the driver and
passenger side air bags, and I'm
writhing on the floor, screaming
for mercy with jets of blood
spurting three feet from my ears.
My son then-ejects the CD, smil-
ing contentdly, knowing he has
purchsed a winner. On those
extremely rare ocassions when I
LIKE one of his CD's, I imagine
he destroys it with a blowtorch.
If you are inter-
ested in writing

please call Jeff

X2380!
My point is that, for some time
I have viewed myself as being
roughly equal, on the Coolness
Scale, to Bob Dole. And then,*
suddenly, at this party, these 20-
somethings were playing Bobby
Darin, a singer from my youth,
an era known as "teh Era When
There Were A Lot of Singers
Named Bobby And One Named
Freddy" (Bobby Sherman, Bobby
Vee, Bobby Vinton, Bobby
Rydell, Elvis "Bobby" Presley
and Freddy "Boom Boom"
Cannon).
I KNOW Bobby Darin's music.
Whenever I hear his swinging
verson of "(Oh My Darlin')
Clementine" I snap my fingers in
a happening "jive" manner and
sing right along with these
immortal lyrics:
"You know she would rouse up
"Wake all of them cows up"
(They don't write them like
that anymore. They can't: They
have been medicated.)
I vividly remember when
Bobby Darin had a hit record
with "Mack the Knife," which is
sometimes referred to as "The
Sg. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club
Band of 1959," because it was
nearly three minutes long and
had weird, incomprehensible .
lyrics involving somebody named
"Sukey Tawdry." I remember
going to a record hop — that's
right, an actual record hop — in
the gymnasium of Harold C.
Crittenden Junior High in
Armonk, N.Y., where they played
"Mack the Knife" maybe 14
times and we all danced the jit-
terbug.
The Jitterbugwas dance where-
in you remained in actual, physi-
cal contact with your partner —
what kids now call "touch-danc-
ing" I grew up at the tail end of
the touch-dancing era; after that,
we started doing on-touch dances
— the Jerk, the Boogaloo, the
Cosine, the Funky Downtown
Rutabaga, etc., wherein you
strayed several feet from your
partner. Later in to 60' s, songs
got longer and dance standards
got looser, and you often lost
visual contact altogether with
your partner, sometimes winding
up, days later, in completely dif-
ferent states. This was followed
by the disco era, during which
you and your partner might touch
briefly, but only for the purpose
of ex-changing narcotics: which
in turn was followed by the
"mosh pit" concept Of dancing,
wherein you dance simultaneous-
ly with many people, the object
being to inflict head injuries on
them.
So for decades, the only time
you saw touch-dancing was at
wedding receptions, when the
band — as required by federal
wedding-reception law — played
"Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," and
guest age 73 and older would
hobble on to the floor and do the
Fox Trot while younger people
gyrated randomly around them.
But now touch-dancing is back
and I'm excited about it, because
— ask anybody who has seen me
at a wedding reception after the
bar opens — I can still do the
Jitterbug. I can get out there on
the floor and really whirl my
partner around. Granted, some-
times my partner winds up face-
down in the wedding cake, but
that is not the point. The point is
that, despite what my son thinks,
maybe I am cool again. I'm
thinking about putting a tube and
a half of Brylcreem in my hair
and going to a swank nightclub.
I'd saunter up to the bar, order a
dry martini and settle back to
soak up the scene; then, when a
real "swinging" song came on,
I'd get to my feet and "wow" the
younger generation when I, in a
suave and sophisticated manner,
threw up on my shoes, because
martinis make me sick.

seemed optimistic about her
group's first time in the Clarion
area and was happy to sec that
many people brought their instru-
ments. She gave me one impor-
tant piece of at! vice for all of
Clarion's buckling musicians:
"Just start playing with a bunch
of other people.... [because] that's
what it's all about."
On Saturday night, those who
had attended the workshop the
previous evening were invited
on-stage with the band to help
perform a number of tunes during
the second set. The ladies were
also joined by hammer dulcimer
player Tulle and Clarion's own
Dr. Brunt Register. After the
band had finished their sets, they
hosted three jam sessions with
the audience: an instrumental, a
singing, and a jam featuring all
the dulcimers by themselves.
As a whole, I enjoyed my visit
with the band. The music was
beautiful and had an almost oth-
erworldly quality to it. I would
recommend these talented ladies
to anyone seeking a unique music
experience.

Korn and Hole offer up new albums
by James "Korn" Gates
Lifestyles Writer
Hello music lovers and haters.
My name is James "Korn" Gates
and I am taking over the music
reviews for the year.
The first two albums up for
review are the highly anticipated
Follow the Leader"by Korn (the
band, not me) and Celeberity
Skin"by Hole.
Follow the Leader is the third
release from Korn on Immortal
Records. For those of you not
; familiar with Korn simply mix
| metal and hardcore riffs with hip-
hop and rap beats. Throw some
funk and jazz into the mix and
add seven-string sludgy guitsrs
and you get the Kom groove,
which is brutal and intense.
Some of my particular favorites
include; "It's on" and "B.B.K.",
which rock as hard and brutal as
ever. In "Pretty" Jonathon Davis
sings mahout his previous experi-
ences working in a morgue, see-
ing babies after being abused.
"Dead Bodies Everywhere" is
just as thought provoking as
"Pretty" lyrically, but the music is
more entrhalling, making it one
of my favorites on the disk.
Where else could a gruesome line
like "Dead Bodies Everywhere"
be so darn catchy? The final
track, "My Gift to You" opens
with Davis playing the bagpipes,
which Korn should employ more
often. Another gem on the disk is
the hidden track, "Earache my
Eye" made famous by Cheech
and Chong, featuring Cheech
Marin on vocals.
The highly talked about track,
"All in the Family" is not as good
as everyone says. Honestly, it is a
decent song with Davis and Fred
Durst of Limp Bizkit involved in
a verbal war, but Durst severly
lacks in the talent department so
•St* /*ys :
he drags the song down. Other
songs that I could have done
without include "Children of the
Kom" with Ice Cube and
"Cameltosis". Both tracks are
layered too much and have stale
riffs.
I will admit that I was unim-
pressed with this disk upon first
listening. I thought it sounded
like all of their other albums, but
it grew on me after the third lis-
ten. Right away though, I noticed
that the disk is darker than the
others. It isn't as good as Kom's
self-titled debut, but it blows
sophmore album Life is Peachy
away.
Hole is Kurt Cobain's widow,
Courtney Love's band, for those
of you who did not know.

Folk group "Simple Gifts", who
describe themselves as "three

What is your opinion of the
Kenneth Starr report in the
Clinton Investigation?
Corey Trott, Sophomore, Communication
'1 fee! that the issue is overrated and is nobody's
business except Clinton's family. Bill Clinton is
human and prone to make mistakes. We were the
ones who voted him in knowing that he smoked
marijuana and dodged the draft, so I don't want
to hear it anymore."
Mike Morgan, Sophomore, Business Admin.
*'I think it is a little ridiculous to dedicate this
much time, effort and money towards this sub-
ject. Clinton is doing a great job as President and
his sexual life shouldn't matter."
John Mozzocio, Sophomore, SpecEd/Ei. Ed
"I believe it is taking up too much time and
money. Clinton should deal with his private life
within his family and not the country."
Bill Graper, Junior, Business
I think it is pretty bad that it cost over 46 mil-
lion dollars to investigate one case."
Tony Babusci, Junior, General Studies

Millersville quarterback Drew Folmar is the victim of a jailbreak blitz by the Clarion defense
Saturday. The Golden Eagles won their home opener by a 38-31 count over the Marauders despite
trailing 10-3 at halftime. The Eagles now look ahead to Saturday when they travel to Shepherd.
Eagles roll past Millersville
By Jason Dambach
Assistant Sports Editor
And you thought you were out
of opportunities to ride a roller
coaster until next summer.
Senior quarterback Chris Weibel
and All-American wide receiver
Alvin Slaughter hooked up on a
71-yard touchdown pass with just
over one minute remaining in the
game to give the Golden Eagles a
pulsating 38-31 victory over
Millersville at Memorial Stadium
Saturday.
That touchdown helped salvage
what nearly was a disastrous
fourth-quarter collapse that saw
Millersville rally from a 31-10
deficit in the final 10 minutes of
the game.
The Marauders tied the game at
31-31 with 1:23 left when sopho-
more quarterback Drew Folmar
connected with Mike McFetridge
on a 9-yard scoring play, the final
of Folmar's three fourth-quarter
scoring strikes.
However, on this day, one
minute would seem like an eterni-
ty.
On a second-and-15 play from
their own 29, Weibel hit Slaughter
with a perfectly thrown bomb on
an out-and-up route for the game-
winning score.
The decision to throw the ball,
as opposed to running out the
clock and playing for overtime,
was risky, but it paid off in a big
way for the Golden Eagles in a
game that featured 962 yards of
total offense between the two
squads.
"I just called the play," said
Clarion head coach Malen Luke.
"(Weibel) and (Slaughter) made it
work ... they deserve the credit."
Yet, for as good as the offense
was in the second half, it was
equally as ineffective in the first
half. Clarion (1-1) went three
plays and out on its first four pos-
sessions and did not manage a
first down until the final play of
the first quarter when running
back Jamie Sickeri raced 53
yards to the Millersville 23 -yard
line.
Despite their offensive troubles
in the first quarter, the Golden
Eagles did get on the scoreboard
first when, three plays after a
Millersville fumble, Frank
VanWert booted a 38-yard field
goal to give Clarion a 3-0 lead.
Midway through the second
quarter Millersville broke a 3-3
deadlock when, on first down,
Folmar and McFetridge hooked
up on a dazzling 39-yard pass
play to the Clarion 1-yard line.
One play later running back
Warren Thomas scored from one
yard out to give the Marauders a
10-3 lead that they took into the
locker room at halftime.
"We were awful in the first
half," said Luke. "I don't want to
take anything away from
(Millersville), but we just weren't
in sync."
What the Golden Eagles needed
was a kick-start, and they got it
early in the second half thanks to
their defense and special teams.
On the second play of the third
quarter, sophomore linebacker
Ryan Presutti dropped back into
coverage and intercepted a pass,
returning it 25 yards for the tying
score just 47 seconds into the sec-
ond half.
Then, after the defense held the
Marauders to a three-and-out on
their ensuing possession,
Slaughter fielded a punt from his
own 43 and returned it 57 yards to
pay dirt, giving the Golden Eagles

Clarion's 38-31 win over
Millersville Saturday did much
more than even the Golden
Eagles' slate at 1-1.
An early-season win over a team
with legitimate playoff aspira-
tions goes a long way in the con-
fidence department for a team that
dropped the first seven games of
last season, including a 31-25 set-
back to Millersville in the opener.
SIDELINES
"It was definitely huge to win a
big game like that," said line-
backer Keith Kochert, one of the
team's captains.
'To win and to win the way we
did will help our confidence and
definitely help us improve."
The Marauders have the
Division II playoffs circled on
their calendars after being select-
ed first in the PS AC-East pre-sea-
son poll. Millersville has drawn a
great deal of acclaim, as
explained by Gregory M.
Drahschak, a columnist for CBS
Sportsline (www.cbssport-
sline.com):
Through the 25-year history of
the Division II playoffs, a rela-
tively small list of teams have
dominated the seedings.
Occasionally, however, a new
name manages to break into the
D-II elite ...A young quarterback
(Drew Folmar) could help
Millersville make the D-II play-
offs after a two-year absence ...
The Marauders' playoff hopes
could be determined Sept. 19
when they host New Haven.
Not only does Drahschak 's col-
umn illustrate the strength of
Millersville, but it also reflects
the "what have you done for me
lately?" attitude that often exists
in D-II football. One has to won-
der why the Marauders' playoff
hopes weren't "determined"
against the Eagles, who were
national semifinalists just two
seasons ago.
The enthusiasm of Saturday's
win has also carried over into this

Eagles aiming for playoffs
Lock Haven visits Tippin Gym Tuesday night
By Lori Matachak
Sports Writer
The 1998 season is in progress
for the Golden Eagle women's
volleyball team.
After posting a 20-19 record in
1997 and missing the playoffs by
a loss to eventual conference
champion Lock Haven, the
Golden Eagles hope to take the
next step this season and qualify
for the playoffs.
The Golden Eagles stand at 1-1
in the PSAC-West and 3-6 over-
all after Tuesday night's 15-3, 13-
15, 15-11, 15-5 loss at California.
This year's team is led by four
senior captains: Tracy Bamett,
Christy Boes, Jaime Mars, and
Jamie Soboleski.
Coach Jodi Pezek Burns said,
"It means a great deal to have
these captains. They are the rea-
son why the program has contin-
ued to be successful because of
these individuals leading in every
way in a positive manner."
Barnett entered the season with
767 career kills and 475 digs.
Mars has piled up 308 kills and
297 digs while adding 24 service
aces and 68 blocks. Boes,
Clarion's top server and defen-
sive specialist, has 919 career
digs and 142 service aces.
Soboleski, who suited up for the
Clarion women's basketball team
last season, has 668 assists set-
ting up the offense, plus 177 digs,
34 service aces, and 30 kills.
Also returning with experience
are junior Jessa Canfield and

sophomore Amanda Baer.
Canfield was injured for part of

Creighton named assistant hoops coach
Courtesy of
Sports Information
' Scott Creighton began duties as
assistant women's basketball
coach at Clarion University this
summer.
Creighton replaces Terry Acker,
who stepped down as assistant
coach and head tennis coach to
accept a position as assistant
women's basketball coach at
Robert Morris College.
Creighton comes to Clarion with
very strong coaching credentials.
He has spent the last three seasons
as girls' coach at Titusville High
School. Prior to his stint with the
Rockets, Creighton spent seven
years at Cranberry High School,
serving- as head coach in 1994 and
1995. During those two years, the
Berries went 61-2, with the '94
team going 31-1 and winning the
PI A A state title. He was honored
with PIAA "Coach of the Year"
honors that season.
A 1984 graduate of Cranberry,
Creighton continued his education
at Edinboro University, where he
graduated with a degree in Health
and Physical Education in 1988.
Familiar with the PSAC and
Clarion, he has worked as a camp
clinician at the Clarion University
Girls' Summer Basketball Camps
since 1994.
"I'm really looking forward to
coaching at Clarion University
and with (head coach) Gie
Parsons," said Creighton.
"This is a great opportunity for
me. I've always wanted to coach
at the college level."
"Scott is a very hard-working,
knowledgeable, and enthusiastic
coach," said Parsons, who led
Clarion to five consecutive PSAC-
West titles between 1991-95. "He
is a strong teacher of fundamen-
tals, has quality experience in
women's basketball, and will def-
initely be a big contributor in
recruiting student athletes. I look
forward to working with him and
know he's going to do a great job
for our program."
The women's basketball team
will tipoff the 1998-99 season at
the Clarion Classic Friday, Nov. 3,
and Saturday, Nov. 4.
The Eagles play in the
Mercyhurst Tournament the fol-
lowing weekend.
Clarion netters hope to
keep tradition alive
Although women's tennis at Clarion University has been extremely
successful for more than a decade, new head coach Lori Sabatose will
likely face a rebuilding year in 1998.
Over the last 12 seasons the Golden Eagles have posted a remarkable
record of 110-37, won five straight PSAC tides from 1986-90, and,
more recently, placed third at the conference tournament the past two
seasons.
However, the Eagles return only two starters from last season.
Back to anchor the team will be captains Amy Shaffer and Rachael
Link. Shaffer, a sophomore, played No. 2 singles in 1997 and posted a
record of 6-9, including a 1-1 slate at PSACs. A talented doubles play-
er, Shaffer went 9-6 in doubles competition.
Link, a junior, was 9-7 in singles in 1997 and was a PSAC runner-up
in 1996 at No. 5 singles with a strong 9-3 mark. Also a capable dou-
bles performer, Link has a two-year mark of 17-9.
"Amy and Rachael will need to provide us with strong leadership on
and off the court this season," said Sabatose.
The lone other returner with experience is Kylee Johnson, who will
be counted upon in 1998 at No. 4 singles and doubles play.
Clarion will be looking for strong seasons from freshman recruit
Bethany Melnick, who could battle for the No. 1 singles spot as the
season progresses.
"Bethany Melnick is an extrer .oly talented freshman," said Sabatose.
"It will be very interesting to see how she does against some of the top
collegiate players."
The Eagles will count heavily upon these top four players this season
while filling the No. 5 and 6 singles spots with Ladonna Dunlevy and
Jacquelyn Neilen to begin the season.
"Our top four players will be very competitive while our No. 5 and
6 singles lack experience, but that's something they will gain this sea-
son," said Sabatose.
Rounding out the Clarion roster for the '98 campaign will be senior
Hande Heay, sophomore Sarah Granberg, and freshmen Darci
Harkleroad and Taryn Dalton.
"It will be a bit of a rebuilding year, but we're going to focus on how
much we can improve between now and PSACs. PSACs will be our
main goal," said Sabatose.
The Golden Eagles were in action over the weekend at the St.
Bonaventure Tournament, finishing 1-1 against a pair of squads from
New York.
The Eagles fell to Canisius, 5-2, but defeated Niagara by a 4-3 count.
The doubles tandem of Shaffer and Melnick was victorious, as were
Link and Johnson in singles competition. Melnick and Shaffer were
also victorious against Canisius in doubles action.

CUP looks to return to winning ways
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
Clarion University head football
coach Malen Luke and the Golden
Eagles have learned that a football
can take a lot of different bounces
through the course of a season.
It was only two years ago that
the Golden Eagles
enjoyed one of the
finest seasons in
school history,
posting an 11-3
record on the way
to the PSAC-West
title, the Northeast
regional champi-
onship, and a
berth in the
NCAA Division II
Final Four.
However, CUP's
good fortunes hit
an abrupt halt with
the arrival of the
1997 season.
Entering the season as the
fourth-ranked team in the nation,
the Golden Eagles suffered
through a string of injuries and an
Ron DeJidas, and veteran receiver
Mark Witte.
There is a sense of optimism
around the Golden Eagles this
season, though. Much of which
stems from the return of Weibel,
who has over 400 career comple-
tions.

Second-half surge pushes Eagles past Millersville
Clarion offense may lie in the
development of the running game.
In order to prevent opponents
from double-teaming Slaughter,
Clarion must develop a consistent
threat in the backfield to keep
defenses honest.
Third-year starter Jamie Sickeri
has been through the battles of the
past two sea-
sons and
brings a great
deal of experi-
ence to the
Clarion back-
field. Keonte
Campbell also
returns after
rushing for
398 yards and
three touch-
downs on 75
carries last
season.
The Eagles
have high
expectations for freshmen running
backs Demetric Garnder and
Glenn Allen.
"They both are going to be spe-
cial players," said Luke. "They
have bright futures."
The offensive line returns four
starters from last season. Erie
natives Ken Nickson and Dan
continued on page 24

momentum and a 17-10 lead.
The Clarion offense finally
knocked on the end zone door
halfway through the third quarter
when Weibel connected with
sophomore receiver Dan Stout on
a 31 -yard pass play to the
Millersville 2-yard line.
However, the Marauder defense
stopped the Golden Eagles on
four consecutive plays to regain
the momentum in this roller-
coaster contest.
But, after failing to move the
ball themselves, Millersville wit-
nessed a flash of the 1996 Clarion
Final Four team that seemingly
scored at will on its opponents.
Weibel found Sickeri across the
middle of the Marauder defense
on their first play of the posses-
sion for a 69-yard touchdown and
a 24-10 Clarion led at the 4:13
mark of the third quarter.
It was the second gain of over 50
yards on the day for the senior
from Brockway, who had missed
some practice -time early in die
week.
"Jamie's our heart and soul,"
said Luke, who won his 25th
game at Clarion since being hired
in 1994.
But while Sickeri may be the
heart and soul of the team, senior
wideout Slaughter continues to be
the bread and butter.
Slaughter hauled in six passes
for 193 yards and a pair of touch-
downs, as well as tallying 114
yards on special teams, 57 of
which coming on his third-quarter
punt return for a touchdown.
Slaughter's performance followed
his eight-catch, 103-yard (one
TD) game at Youngstown State
Sept. 3.
Early in the fourth quarter
Weibel hit Slaughter on a patented
inside screen pass and the six-foot
senior from Carol City, Fla., did
the rest by following his blockers
down the left sideline for a 50-
yard touchdown that gave the
Golden Eagles a seemingly insur-
mountable 31-10 lead.
Millersville fought back to tie
the game on two scoring passes
by Folmar to McFetridge and
another to Sean Foxworth.
However, the story of the game
was the amazing turnaround the
Golden Eagles showed after a
delirious first half.
"We made some minor adjust-
ments, but mainly they just had to
be woken up," said Luke.
Another key to the game was the
play of Presutti, who, in addition
to his interception return for a
touchdown early in the second
half, picked off another pass later
Week Two Scouting Report
vs.
Clarion (1-1)
RAMS
Shepherd (1-1)
Where: Ram Stadium (3,000), Shepherdstown,W.Va.
When: Saturday, 1 p.m. Radio: C 93 92.7 FM
Weather: Partly cloudy, high in the 80s.
On the road again ... and again ... and again. That's the tune the
Golden Eagles are singing this week as they open a three-game road
swing at Shepherd College ih Shepherdstown, W.Va., Saturday at 1
p.m.
The Rams are coming off a 9-1 season in which they claimed a share
of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship.
Thus far this season Shepherd is 1-1 with a 36-14 loss to Shippensburg
and a 36-6 win over East Stroudsburg.
There's no question what the focal point of the Eagle defense will be
this Saturday. Shepherd running back Damian Beane is the leading
returning rusher in the nation in Division II. Although just a 5-8 junior,
Beane, a product of Baltimore City College High School, rushed for
1,590 yards last season. The first-team All-WVIAC selection demon-
strated a great deal of consistency, running for eight straight 100-yard
games. While the improving WVIAC is not at the level of the PSAC,
Beane demonstrated his abilities against PSAC entries Shippensburg
and East Stroudsburg, running for a total of 294 yards and two touch-
downs on 49 carries. Stopping Beane will be a key for the Golden Eagle
defense.
"He's a very good running back," said Clarion head coach Malen Luke.
"He's low to the ground, has great speed and runs hard. There's no
question who they're going to go to. When you have a big gun you shoot
it."
While the Shepherd running game presents a challenge for CUP,
Clarion's All-American pitch-and-catch tandem of quarterback Chris
Weibel and wide receiver Alvin Slaughter is certain to create several
matchup problems in the Ram secondary. Shepherd fields an inexperi-
enced secondary that gave up 298 passing yards and three passing
touchdowns to Shippensburg.
Under 12th-year head coach Monte Cater, Shepherd has built itself
into a perennial contender in the WVIAC. Cater's teams have made five
first-place finishes (1997, 94, 92, 91, 88). The recent titles are the most
relevant, as the WVIAC teams made the jump from NAIA competition to
NCAA Division II three years ago.
* Preview compiled by Sports Editor Nathan Koble
in the third quarter.
"(Presutti) turned the game
around for us in the third quarter
... that was the wake-up call we
needed," said Luke.
Meanwhile, it was an efficient
day for Weibel, who made the
most of his 12 completions. He
finished the day 12 of 30 for 322
yards and three touchdowns, as he
continues to show his pre-injury
form.
Millersville (0-1) showed why
they should be one of the most
potent offenses in the PSAC in
1998.
Folmar hit on 29 of 45 passes for
436 yards and three touchdowns,
while wide receiver Sean Scott
pulled in 12 aerials for a school-
record 227 yards.
The Golden Eagles will be look-
ing for their second win of the
season when they face Shepherd
Saturday in Shepherdstown,
W.Va.

Weibel, Eagles show character in loss to YSU
Clarion takes 6-0 lead in second quarter but falls, 50-6, to I-AA champs
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
iw.w^w.a^w.;.tt^^
YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO -- 1 must
confess that I had the best seat in
the house when the Golden Eagles
took a 6-0 lead in the second quar-
ter of their 50-6 loss to
Youngstown State Sept. 3.
SIDELINES
I was positioned behind the end
zone when quarterback Chris
Weibel dumped an inside pass to
wide receiver Alvin Slaughter,
who danced his way around a
swarm of YSU defenders and
across the goal line, stunning the
16,000-plus Penguin fans who had
flocked to Stambaugh Stadium to
see the four-time Division I-AA
champs open their season against
"some school from
Pennsylvania."
Slaughter sliced through the end
zone and knelt down to catch his
breath at a perimeter fence while
his teammates flocked around him
in celebration. Among them was
Weibel, who returned to the
Clarion lineup after missing most
of last season with a torn anterior
cruciate ligament.
As the rest of the Eagles ran
back to the Clarion sideline,
Weibel stayed with his winded
teammate to offer a few words. As
the two Ail-Americans started
back to the Clarion bench, Weibel
turned his head in my direction
and gave me a quick nod. Perhaps
that was his way of thanking me
for being part of a small throng of
Clarion rooters among the sea of
red and black, or perhaps that is
customary for a charismatic field
general who had just orchestrated
, a scoring drive.
Whatever the reason was, one
thing was clear to me: This guy is
a winner. He could have danced
around and lost his poise like
many Division II quarterbacks
might have done after taking a
lead against a team that is revered
throughout the college football
world. Weibel showed why the
Eagles were national semifinalists
in 1996, and he certainly proved
to be far better than the two young
quarterbacks YSU fielded.
It would be all YSU after
Clarion's initial strike, as the
superior size and athleticism of
the Penguins overcame the upstart
Eagles. The final score was some-
what misleading. Ahead 29-6, the
Penguins gained a first down on
the last play of the third quarter on
a fake punt. They later punched in
a touchdown on fourth-and-inches
instead of kicking a field goal to
cap the scoring. Youngstown State
wasn't trying to create bad blood.
They are ranked No. 1 in a series
of I-AA polls, and a narrow win
over the D-II Eagles would have
hurt their chances in the eyes of
the pollsters.
Clarion didn't have to look far
for bright spots. Kervin Charles,
just breaking into the cornerback
position, kept his man in check all
night, freshman running back
Demetric Gardner gave flashes of
a strong potential, and center Nick
Swiger showed a lot of guts by
playing with a broken hand.
However, perhaps above all else,
the Eagles will enter PSAC-West
play knowing their toughest oppo-
nent is behind them. Slippery
Rock's powerful running game
won't seem quite so strong and
neither will the passing of IUP's
Paul Failla, a transfer from Notre
Dame. If that holds true, the
Eagles will have gained from a
loss.
(Editor's note: YSU defeated
Division 1-A Kent State, 24-10,
Saturday. The Penguins also face
Heisman Trophy candidate
Daunte Culpepper and Central
Florida this season.)

hurt their chances in the eyes of
the pollsters.
Clarion didn't have to look far
for bright spots. Kervin Charles,
just breaking into the cornerback
position, kept his man in check all
night, freshman running back
Demetric Gardner gave flashes of
a strong potential, and center Nick
Swiger showed a lot of guts by
playing with a broken hand.
However, perhaps above all else,
the Eagles will enter PS AC- West
play knowing their toughest oppo-
nent is behind them. Slippery
Rock's powerful running game
won't seem quite so strong and
neither will the passing of IUP's
Paul Failla, a transfer from Notre
Dame. If that holds true, the
Eagles will have gained from a
loss.

Two years ago, Chris Weibel
was on top of the world. The
junior quarterback had just guided
Clarion to an 1 1-3 record, a trip to
the NCAA Division II semifinals,
and was named an Ail-American.
When the 1997 season
approached, expectations at
Clarion were high to make anoth-
er run at the national champi-
onship. Weibel was beginning his
senior season with hopes of taking
the Golden Eagles back to the
playoffs and possibly landing a
professional tryout.
However, all of that came to an
abrupt halt when Weibel dropped
back to pass in the second game
against Glenville State. As
Weibel planted his foot, some-
thing went wrong. That some-
thing was an anterior cruciate lig-
ament tear.
Weibel missed the rest of the
season and it seemed as though
his brilliant career at Clarion was
over.
Weibel petitioned the NCAA to
grant him a medical hardship
waiver to allow him a sixth year
of eligibility. The NCAA granted
the request and Weibel began the George Groff/Clarion Call

Weibel threw for 322 yards and

rehab, Weibel returned and did
what he does best, dazzle the

Weibel was quick to point out
that he had a lot of help during the
recovery process, "Everyone was
so supportive. My parents (Jay
and Diana) and my girlfriend
Robin (Shaffer) were there for me
the whole time. Coach (Malen)
Luke encouraged me every time
he saw me. And, Thunder

look to move on past college."
The chance of getting a pro try-
out is realistic for Weibel. Weibel
holds Clarion's single-season
record for touchdown passes (32)
and passing yards (2,880). Weibel
also holds Clarion's career record
for touchdown passes (53), pass-
ing yards (5,841), completions
(437), attempts (774), and com-
pletion percentage (56.5).
Weibel noted, "Everyone tells
me I have a chance to get a look
(from the pros). I hope that I do.
I just want to play well and keep
working towards that goal."
When asked what his fondest
memory of his career at Clarion
was, Weibel quickly said, "The
whole 1996 season."
That was the year that Clarion
came within a blocked field goal
of going to the national title game.
With Clarion trailing Northern
Colorado 19-18 with under 30
seconds to go, Weibel connected
with Steve Witte on a 40-yard
pass to set up a last-second field
goal. However, the field goal was
blocked, and Northern Colorado
went on to eventually win the
national title.
According to Weibel, "It was
such a rush. Even though we fell
short, we proved that we were one
of the best teams in the nation.
That 1996 team was a tight-knit
group. We had a lot of seniors and
made a great run. We were picked
to finish fourth in the PSAC-West
and went on to the national semi-
finals."
Weibel said that the one game
that stood out that year was
against Indiana, "They came to
Clarion and everything clicked for
us. To beat them as bad as we did
(49-15) is definitely one of the
games that will stand out in my
mind."
No^that Weibel is back, he said
that while he is proud of what he
has already accomplished, he is
ready to focus on (he 1998 season.
"The win against Millersville was
big for us. I hope that we can get
on a roll and make another run
this year."
With Weibel back under center
for the Golden Eagles, anything is
possible.

Greulich will man the tackle
positions, with Nick Swiger at
center. Senior Marcus
Kubanscek returns to the guard
position, with Ryan Winkleblech,
Joe Crowe, Steve Schafer and
Ben Boldin looking for time this
season. Pete Yurisinec, a strong
blocker and receiver, returns at
tight end.
The defense features a group of
swarming linebackers. Keith
Kochert and Brett Wiley man the
inside linebacker positions,
while Ryan Presutti, Mike
Williams, Mike Maguire, and
Phil Rayford guard the perime
ters.
Nose guard Bill Burns, Justin
Miller, and Don Painter are the
lineman, with Fred Walker, Cory
Trudgen and Drew Painter ready
for action. The secondary boasts
talent and potential. Senior cap
tain Brad Geer anchors the
defensive backfield, which
includes cornerbacks Kervin
Charles and Donte Williams.
Chris Janson, the emergency
quarterback a year ago, lines up
at safety.
Frank Van Wert returns to han-
dle the placekicking and punting
duties.
With a number of players
returning, Clarion has the ability
to make 1998 a memorable sea-
son. However, the schedule may
be the most difficult in school
history. Youngstown State
(Gateway), Millersville (PS AC
East), and Shepherd (WVIAC)
are all picked to win their respec
tive conferences. Also, the
PSAC-West is comprised of
seven teams who are capable of
winning the title. Defending
champion Slippery Rock returns
the core of its title team, IUP has
landed another D-I transfer in
Paul Failla (Notre Dame), and
Penn State's starting fullback,
Anthony Cleary, has transferred
to Shippensburg for the season.
With everything factored in,
Luke agrees that Clarion could
finish anywhere in the PSAC-
West standings.
"The conference is very com-
petitive," said Luke. "Right now,
we control our own destiny. We
just have to work hard and hope
for a little luck."

VOLUME 81, ISSUE 2
University's Master Plan finally approved
by Steve Ostrosky
News Editor
Clarion University's compre-
hensive Facilities Master Plan
was approved over the summer
by the Board of Trustees.
The 20-year plan, which calls
for renovations to current CU
buildings, demolition of others
and construction of several new
facilities, came about after over
three years of meetings and site
work.
According to Vice President for
Finance and Administration Dr.
Heather Haberaecker, "This is a
major accomplishment for the
University, and will benefit the
University in the long run."
"This will make us competitive
in a very cjjmjgetjtive environ-
ment for enrollment," she added.
Haberaecker said the plan out-
lines projects for the first five
year period, a term of five to 10
years, and a long-term plan for 10
to 20 years. Projects scheduled
for the first five years include
construction of the student recre-
ation center, a massive renova-
tion and possible addition to
Carlson Library, and the con-
struction of a new student hous-
ing facility.
The Call File Photos
Harvey Hall is next in line to be renovated as part of Clarion's Master Plan, which was
approved recently by the University Trustees.
Haberaecker could not provide tion of both Harvey Hall and
specifics on the library project
because meetings still need to be
held with architect Ross Bianco
of Pittsburgh, who has yet to
design a sequence for the renova-
tion/addition, which will cost
around $14 million, according to
president Diane Reinhard during
her Fall Faculty Address earlier
this month.
Other projects on-line for the
first five years of the Facilities
Master Plan include the renova-
Xeeling Health Center,and the
move of Academic Support
Services to Campbell Hall. This
will allow both the English and
Modern Languages departments
to move into Davis Hall during
the Carlson Library renovation
process.
Haberaecker said the bid results
on Harvey are expected to be in
by December, and that work is
expected to begin on that build-
ing sometime in 1999.
She also said a contract was
awarded to a company to perform
the renovation work on Keeling.
Plans for that building include
the consolidation of the
Communication Sciences and
Disorders (CSD) department
with the Health Center. She
noted that the Health Center will
be reduced in size in order to
accommodate the CSD depart-
ment.

Faculty members recently awarded SSHE grants
by Patricia Boberg
News Writer
Five Clarion University faculty
members were recently named
recipients of 1997-98 State
System of Higher Education
(SSHE) Faculty Professional
Development Grants.
Dr. Steven Harris, associate
professor of biology, received
$6,162 for "Drift of Aquatic
Invertebrates in the Mill Creek
system as an Indication of
Recovery from Acid Mine
Drainage."
This was granted in the joint
faculty-student applied research
category intended to promote
faculty and student interest and
involvement in applied research.
"I feel that the primary con-
tributing factor in the approval of
my proposal deals with the stu-
dent involvement," Harris said.
A grant designed for the student
participation category must
imply that the students are not
being hired merely as workers,
but as participants.
Dr. Scott Kuehn, associate pro-
fessor of communication, and Dr.
Mark Mitchell from the depart-
ment of psychology received
$3,546 for "Training Faculty to
Use Active Learning Strategies
Using World Wide Web
Technology: The World Wide
Web Active Learning
Environment Training
(WWALET) Program." This
was granted in the group projects
in curriculum, instruction and
assessment or in the design of
learning communities category.
Drs. Kuehn and Mitchell are
currently working, together to
"promote teaching that promotes
active learning" through the
World Wide Web. Both Kuehn
and Mitchell said, "There is a
need for teachers to know the
Web and without training, most
will not use it in their class-
rooms."
The grant process undergone by
faculty members begins with the
decision of what will be success-
ful. A proposal must be good, but
doable, and is required to qualify
under one of the specified cate-
gories. Professors must apply for
a proposal and present it to the
SSHE, who provide a fixed
amount of money to the accepted
faculty member proposals. All
grants are then internally
reviewed at the University level
by a panel of scientists.
"The process of very competi-
tive," Harris and Kuehn agreed.
Grants to both Harris and
Kuehn have provided work study
and graduate student salaries.
The grant has also contributed
travel expenses, supplies and
equipment to the biology depart-
ment. "This grant has allowed
the biology department to pro-
vide first-hand experience to our
students," Harris said.
"Education is limited if it only

" 1 was slightly
paranoid to say the
least./'
Donnelle Washington
This short FICTIONAL story
was first developed in a creative
writing class at Clarion.
"Bob Means Insanity"
"You stupid retard, get outta
here," exclaimed the manager.
Bob leaves, kicking imaginary
dirt between his feet. He scuffles
out of the store with his head
down, then he turns to me and
says, "I'll be back." I knew that
he would. Bob comes and goes
when and where he pleases.
A short, stocky dwarf-like man
with a head the shape of a water-
melon, you couldn't miss him if
you tried. Trust me, I've tried. He
drives a tiny gray Chevrolet that
is seen all over town. Bob lives
with his mom because he has no
job. Oh, did I tell you Bob is 43?
I see him everywhere I go. I try
and hide from him, but he always
seems to notice. He's annoying.
Very annoying.
"DONNELLE!! ! I haven't seen
you in months!" Bob will scream
in a grocery store, a parking lot,
or wherever. I'll duck behind
cars, so no one will know that I
know this man. His hands wave
frantically in the air like he is
directing air traffic. From the
other side of the parking lot, all I
see is a watermelon and his hands
look like two loaves of bread fly-
ing in the air. This makes me
hungry.
I drove to work and stepped out
of my car on Saturday morning
and saw him. Not again.
As if I couldn't be luckier, his
eyes could' ve lit up the parking
lot that morning. "Donnelle,
Donnelle, guess what I got?"
"What did you get, Bob?"
"I got a kitten! My own kitten!
Do you want to see it?"
"Sure, but I have to be at work,
so make it fast."
Bob reached into his backpack
and pulled out a small polka-dot-
ted cat. The cat must have had no
air, and it ran like lightning when
Bob let it out "Hey Bob, I am
glad you let that cat out of the
bag," I said. I knew that this
would be a long day.
I went into work and told all of
my co-workers the cat story.
They all know Bob. He bothers
all of us. We receive the infa-
mous phone call every morning
from him to talk about the weath-
er, the football game, any kind of
BS. But it all stopped the day
Bob went bonkers.
I left work on Saturday
evening. As I left, I felt a strange
chill. I looked behind me and did
a complete 360-degree turn. I
was slightly paranoid to say the
least. I walked past a garbage
dumpsite and passed a fence. As I
walked to my door, I saw a little
bald head bobbing up and down
to a drum rhythm. I peeped over
the fence with much dismay. It
was Bob.
"Bob, what the hell are you
doing here? It is 10:30. The mall
closed at 9:30!" Bob laughed at
me, and with that laugh, I knew
he was up to something. I ran to
my car, which was another twen-
ty feet away and got into it. I
picked up my cellular phone and
called security.
"Hello, there is a very strange
man walking behind the dump-
site and you might want to check
this out."
Wow, I can't believe that peo-
ple like Bob are allowed in pub-
lic. I laughed to myself, as I
pushed down my parking brake
and threw my car into first gear.
As I zoomed out of the parking
lot, the sound of my car made an
airport runway sound like a
church mouse. EEHHHHHCC-
CC VVVRRRROOOOM.
SCREECH!
I think it is time for a new muf-
fler.
As I peeled out of the parking
lot, I saw two little legs and a
hockey mask running towards
me. Okay, I had four options at
this point: a) run this person over

" i take the stereo-
type 'alcoholic,
snobbish, just-in-it
for-the-opposite-sex'
personally/'
Jnel Ritzier, Copy and Design Editor
This is my fourth year at
Clarion. In my years here, I can't
help but notice how Greeks (fra-
ternities and sororities) are
looked at. Being a member of
Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority, I
take the stereotype "alcoholic,
snobbish, just-in-it-for-the-oppo-
site-sex" personally.
Yes, fraternities and sororities
do like a good party, but that is
not all they do. Greeks partake in
many community service activi-
ties and raise money for philan-
thropies. Last semester alone,
Tri-Sigma sold daffodils for the
American Cancer Society, read
stories to children, raised money
for organizations through dance-
a-thons and car washes, and
sponsored "Take Back The
Night" for Clarion County's
Rape Crisis Center. Tri-Sigma
also raised money for the Robbie
Page Memorial, an organization
for children in hospitals.
We are not "buying our friends"
as some might say. We are here
for an education~not a party.
At first, my parents weren't too
sure when I pledged a sorority.
However, in April, my parents
had the opportunity to join my
sisters and myself in celebrating
our Founders Day. Instead of
thinking how awful my sorority
was, my mother said, "What a
nice organization to be a part of."
My parents had the chance to see
the community service, the fund-
raisers, and-most importantly-the
friendship and sisterhood.
My sorority didn't keep me
from my friends and family; they
are my friends and family. They
are the people who cheer me up
when I cry, pick me up when I
fall, and celebrate my good for-
tune. There is always someone
around willing to offer a shoulder
to cry on, an ear to listen, and
arms to hug me.
Instead of stereotyping the peo-
ple in class next to you, take the
time to get to know them.
They're the people who represent
you on Student Senate, are
involved in choir and track, hold
an office in a club, and could
become your best friends. The
feeling of sisterhood is incompre-
hensible unless experienced.
Jnel Ritzier is a Senior
Communication Major.

READER RESPONSE
" I would like to mention the robber-barrons
that call themselves Reimer Snack Bar."
♦Please note this letter was writ-
ten last semester*
Dear Editor,
I am not an avid reader of The
Call, so I am not sure if this issue
has been addressed to death or
not, but I would like to voice my
frustration on the subject. It
seems to me that in Clarion, stu-
dents are somewhat taken advan-
tage of. It also seems to me that
the reason this happens is
because the student body lets it
happen. I would like to state just
a few examples.
I will start with the easy one
that everyone has talked about:
parking. Upon entering CUP
campus on any weekday it is not
difficult to see that there is a
parking problem on campus. Big
Deal! Yes....yes....the adminis-
tration is working on it. I under-
stand that. What I don't under-
stand is that people are still buy-
ing parking permits for spaces
that don't exist. Don't buy park-
ing permits. And how about
meters? It costs a quarter per
hour. OK.... no problem. But
what about hour and 15 minute
classes? Leave class early to
avoid a ticket?
Next problem: laundromats.
Why are they so good at getting
clothes wet and so poor at getting
them dry? Just this week I put
two pairs of pants and a shirt in a
dryer for an hour and a half.
When they were done, I was dis-
gusted to realize that I might as
well have left them sitting in my
laundry bag. I have visited all of
the laundromats in town and have
had similar experiences. But
even though they don't work we
all still use them every week or
so.
Now let's discuss the slum-like
conditions most of the college
housing is in. Why can landlords
get away with renting subpar
apartments and houses at such
high prices: because we keep
renting them and they know that
SOMEONE will rent them no
matter what the price. Many liv-
ing places, though moderately
priced, are barely livable. Those
that seem to be nice enough and
decently priced, almost without
fail, have no utilities at all includ-
ed, which generally adds about
$80-100 per month to the cost of
living.
Finally, I would like to mention
the robber-barons that call them-
selves Reimer Snack Bar. I don't
know how the person who sets
the prices sleeps at night. How
can you reconcile charging
almost double the price of com-
petitors? The competitors, such
as 7-11, Sheetz, and Uni-Mart do
not have exceptionally low
prices, but they seem very low in
comparison to Daka prices. Who
ever heard of a 20 ounce bottle of
soda costing $1.25?
Hamburgers, cheeseburgers and
fries are also much more expen-
sive than competitors such as
McDonald's and Wendy's. The
question that comes to mind is,
"Why do you eat here then?" The
answer is simple.. ..they accept
flex as payment. Now... that
brings up flex. What a racket!
We are charged $125 for $100 in
flex. Is that new math? Also,
how difficult would it be to
refund unused flex or even carry
it over to the following year?
The system as it stands now leads
us to my next complaint, the bla-
tant (an in my opinion) fleecing
of college students by "last
chance for flex" scams. I was in
Gemmell today and they were
trying to sell a 24-pack of Pepsi
for $14. That is more than 60
cents per can. Is that fair? The
same cube is on sale at County
Market for $4.99. Microsoft is
on trial for antitrust violations —
Gemmell should be there with
them. Reimer Snack Bar is an
unfair monopoly if there ever
was one.
In conclusion, I would just like
to say that these situations are not
totally the fault of those in power.
We, as the consumers must bear
part of the blame. We are the
ones who allow these trends to
continue. I do not know of any
hard-and-fast solution. But I do
know that everyone complains
about it, so we should all start
complaining to the right peo-
ple—the ones in the administra-
tion buildings.

"AAAAHHHHHH!!!" Brake!
(silence).
CRASH! POP!
I sat up with a mouthful of hair
and an exploded airbag in my
face. Rolling out of my car was a
challenge because I couldn't see
anything. I fell to the ground and
landed on a large pillow. I picked
it up and a stack of Ben Franklins
fell out. Oh no, oh no, oh no,
what do I do? I'll get into my car
and ride into the sunset; with a
new car of course. But I decided
to put the pillowcase of money
into my car, and, as I reached for
it, I felt something cold and wet.
It was a hand attached to a per-
son. I RAN SOMEONE OVER! I
jumped into my car and began to
call the police or 911, but I forgot
the phone number. By the time I
remembered, I heard a small faint
voice. "Benjamin Franklin,
Mommy where am I?" I
screamed and dropped my phone.
The phone dropped right on the
redial button and dialed mall
security. What luck! "Please
come quickly and call an ambu-
lance. I am in section 2D! I hung
up, rolled out of my car, and
began to put my sweater on this
man.
"Sir can you hear me? I called
the ambulance. Everything will
be okay!" I put my hand above
his mouth and I felt him breath-
ing. I knew he was in shock. I
began to peel the ski mask from
his face. It was Bob. Could I have
killed Bob?
Shortly I heard ambulance
sirens and saw police cars. They
lifted Bob onto a stretcher and
loaded him into the ambulance.
They began to search my vehicle
and the pillow case was in the
back seat.
"Officer, it is not what you
think. I am not Bob's accomplice.
You see, I just finished working
and then, ahhh, can I contact a
lawyer?"
I was so confused, I looked so
guilty, and I was held on bond for
$10,000. My father came to the
jail shortly, and I asked him to
contact the hospital about Bob.
Fortunately, he was in stable con-
dition with a minor concussion
and a broken hip bone. Many
people were called to the station
on Saturday night. I didn't have
to go to trial because many peo-
ple came to testify that Bob was
insane.
I now have a reputation at work
as "the girl who killed Bob."
Funny, I don't remember killing
him. I just wanted to go home
after a hard day of work.
I still see him from time to
time. His head is now the size of
two watermelons and he doesn't
talk as much as he used to. *
Recently he told my co-workers ,
that he doesn't go out past 8:00
p.m. because it is scary and dark
outside. How ironic, I've been
getting picked up from work
these days, preferably before
8:00 p.m. and have also bought a
new car. You're probably won-
dering what happened to Bob
after he fully recovered from the
accident. He went on trial and
was sentenced to 25 years. He
pleaded neither guilty or not
guilty. Bob pleaded insanity.
I know that after he goes to jail,
I will never see Bob and his
watermelon head again. This is
cause for celebration (for many
of us anyway). Bob still contin-
ues to show up in my life though.
You may ask how. At nighttime I
will see a small polka dotted cat
sitting on my window glancing at
me. Then I draw my curtain
closed.

READER RESPONSE
"Peterson believes in an economy based on cutting "There will not be an increase in
our national and state forests..." housing costs next semester."
Dear Editor,
Clarion University lies in the
Fifth Congressional District,
which has a unique election this
year. For the first time anywhere
in the country, the two candidates
on the ballot for Congress in our
district are a Republican and a
Green Party candidate.
With 17 Congressional candi-
dates nationwide this year and
almost 100 more in local races,
the Green Party is rising as a
clear voice of progressive
Americans. In New Mexico and
California, Green candidates are
beating Democrats and
Republicans in college neighbor-
hoods and winning seats on city
councils.
Voters often complain that
there isn't much difference
between the Republicans and the
Democrats. No one will say that
about my race. From Social
Security to protecting out forests,
from abortion rights to restoring
public education, the differences
between Congressman Peterson
and me could hardly be larger.
Peterson has stated that he
believes the so-called budget sur-
plus should be invested in "feder-
al debt reduction, Social Security,
Medicare, and tax cuts." I
believe that only by returning all
these funds to where they belong-
the Social Security trust fund-
will the current generation of col-
lege students ever receive Social
Security.
Peterson believes in an econo-
my based on cutting our national
and state forests, rather than pre-
serving them for tourism. Even
though parts of the Allegheny
National Forest itself are already
being clearcut, Peterson stated in
a recent radio interview that there
should probably be even more
logging. Meanwhile, the federal
government loses almost a billion
dollars a year in its management
of national forests, and lumber
company make huge profits. I
believe that national and state
forests are our forests and that the
logging of public lands must
stop.
Peterson has said that he sup-
ports clean air and water. Yet he
has failed to oppose threats to our
health and all around the district,
there are problems from tire
burning and toxic soil incinera-
tion in Clinton County, more
nitrous oxide emissions in Elk
County, hog factories in Union
and Tioga Counties, and a new
nuclear waste dump proposed for
somewhere in Pennsylvania.
Peterson is pro-life. I am pro-
choice.
Republicans have blocked the
Partnership to Rebuild America's
Schools Act, which would invest
$22 billion of federal tax credits
to rebuild the crumbling infra-
structure of our public schools. I
would fight for this funding in
Congress.
It has been 44 years since there
has been a third party in
Congress. Often elections are
three-way, requiring a tough
choice between the minor-party
candidate you believe in and the
major-party candidate who "can
win." But this is a two way race.
By definition, I "can win," with
your support.
As college students, you
breathe the same air and drink the
same water as the community
around you. It's important to be
involved in the decisions of your
community. If you are not regis-
tered to vote, contact your county
courthouse. Please spread the
word about the Green Party and
my campaign. I ask for your vote
on November 3.

an inaccurate statement.
Residence hall room rates are
set by the Council of Trustees at

There will not be an increase in
housing costs next semester.

" Like Brian Obst, I have witnessed cheating countless times..."
♦Please note that the following
was written last semester*
Dear Editor,
Injustice reigns supreme here at
Clarion University, and probably
will continue long after I am
gone. It exists and we all know it,
but how we deal with it is even
more important.
Like Brian Obst, I have wit-
nessed cheating countless times.
As a matter of fact, I know for
certain that I know of one person
who will be graduating this May
who almost entirely, if not entire-
ly, cheated their way through
their courses.
Yet for the non-offender, an
excused absence is almost an
impossibility here. The Health
Center has a two to three day
wait, and is being run like an
HMO, because the administra-
tion wants it that way, so it will
only get worse (anything they say
to the contrary is Up service.) My
advice: have a friend cart your
sick person to the hospital or the
800 Center that day, otherwise
you do not have a snowball's
chance in hell with most faculty
members. Also, many do not do
well in a "boot camp" testing
environment, and that set up does
not stop the people who cheat.
They are damn good profession-
als. Sometimes it seems like the
honest get screwed.
What about professors who are
biased or have an agenda? The
first are so biased in their grading
it makes you wonder. My exam-
ples are many, but the one that
makes the point best is academic
dishonesty. I must stress it was an
experiment, and what the stu-
dents learned will never be for-
gotten. Same paper, same instruc-
tor, four different grades. Now
how does that happen? The
instructor, with a known track
record for playing favorites, and
grading according to their biased
assessments of the students, and
not the students' work, taught the
course in each instance. The stu-
dents, four residents on my wing,
took the class one after another,
four consecutive semesters. An
A, a C, a D and a B, in that order.
Not percentage points (how the
papers were graded), but letter
grade differences. You judge.
The second is, instructors with
an agenda. My example is very
clear. The student knows comput-
ers inside and out and is taking
CIS 217, a relatively straight-for-
ward course. Not too hard, right?
Not so fast. The instructor has the
course set up so an "A" is virtual-
ly impossible. The student is
going to medical school in the
fall, and cannot earn an "A" in
this class. Not because the stu-
dent cannot, but because the stu-
dent has been prevented from
being able to do so. You judge.
Then there is Residence Life.
They have been "changing" the
way they do things since I started
here. Still the violent or drug-
using jerks remain and graduate.
I was an R.A. and sat on a con-
duct board or two, so I know how
it all works. I may have disagreed
with my R.D. many times, but at
least he did something. When it
would go to Egbert, forget it. It
was eventually swept under the
carpet. I am still looking for the
bulge on the floor every time I
am in that building.
Sure we all know alcohol is a
serious offense, but the way they
treat violence or drug use certain-
ly leads us to believe neither are.
The worst incident I ever dealt
with involved an individual who,
the very next year, appointed
people to serve on conduct
boards because of their . student
senator position. The individual
graduated with an education
degree and is now teaching.
Unreal.
Not far behind is a person who
had a discipline file as thick as a
book, and their last offense was
possession of marijuana. He was
the darling of the Education
Department. He came high every '
day to class, received an
esteemed placement, and is now
teaching. Amazing!
We all know life is not fair, and
have known it for a long time,
right? I could have probably been
the "Hitler youth R.A.," and
turned my academically dishon-
est residents in, and that is exact-
ly what the people who let Joe
Violence and Joe Drug-User
slide, would have wanted. No
way, the lesson they learned was
way too valuable to not let hap-
pen. Do not let the fact that
others are unjust and unfair sway
you. Be the candle in the dark-
ness. When it is your turn, be fair
and fight injustice! You may not
win any popularity contest, you
may not win the particular battle,
but you will have stood in the
face of inequity and stared it
down.
Just the other day, one of them
told me that he had been tempted
to cheat on a test, and could have
easily, but remembered what I
had said. He wanted it to be his
grade, not somebody elses. He
stared it down, and he gained!
Never forget this!

NEWS
For the fourth consecutive year
CU enrollment continues to rise
by Courtney Spangler
News Writer
The number of students at
Clarion University's main campus
has increased for the fourth con-
sective year, according to prelimi-
nary figures released by the
University.
In a press release from
University Relations, it states a
total of 21 additional students
were enrolled at Clarion, bringing
the campus totals to 5,286 stu-
dents.
The number of full-time equiva-
lent students at Clarion also show
an increase of 23.4 students.
Although final enrollment fig-
ures for the State System of
Higher Education will not be
released until October 1, early fig-
ures show small decreases at other
sites. Those other sites include
Venango Campus in Oil City,
West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh
and Clearfield.
According to University
Relations, the enrollment
decreased account for less than
half a percent drop in total full-
time equivalent University enroll-
ment.
CU students have reacted to the
news that the University's num-
bers are up.
" I think that they (the
University) need to make sure that
they don't overbook housing,"
said Lauren Allie, graduate stu-
dent.
"I honestly didn't know we had
one (an enrollment increase),"
said Jennie Siegler, senior. "I
hope that the increase in students
means an increase in faculty."
Clarion University has seen its
enrollment rise five percent over
the past five years, according to
Dean of Enrollment Management
John Shropshire.
He said mat the main reason that
CU has seen an enrollment rise is
related to an aggressive admis-
sions and recruiting program.
"The secret of our success is
being aggressive," he said. "Most
students who attend schools in the
State System of Higher Education
(SSHE) usually live within 50
miles from a SSHE school.. .they
are loyal to certain schools."
"We work hard because CU is
not within 50 miles of a Class A
city," Shropshire said. "We
depend on students traveling a
distance to get here."
He said mat members of the
Clarion University Admissions
Office are constantly visiting high
schools and appear at college fairs
in order to attract prospective stu-
dents.
"Also, our Marketing
Committee helped by putting up
billboards to get our name into
areas where people aren't familiar
with who we are and what we are
about," he added.
Clarion University is one of the
few SSHE schools that has actual-
ly seen an enrollment increase
over the past several years, he
noted.
Clarion University President
Diane L. Reinhard has voiced her
pleasure over the rise in enroll-
ment.
"We are pleased that we contin-
ue to attract students in the highly
competitive market of western
Pennsylvania," she said in a
release.
"Our theme of Advancing
Academic Excellence and
Shaping Professional Careers
continues to promote a quality
education at Clarion University
for our students," she added.

Out-of-state tuition rate reduced at CU
by Jennifer Mathis
News Writer
Clarion University has enacted a
new tuition plan that has lowered
tuition for out-of-state students by
150 percent.
This is just the first part of a
two-year plan proposed by the
University to the State System of
Higher Education (SSHE) and
was later approved by the Board
of Governors.
During the 1997-98 academic
year, tuition for out-of-state stu-
dents was $8,824.
As a result of this new plan, the
tuition rate dropped $1,000 to
$7,804 for the 1998-99 academic
year. Next year, out-of-state
tuition for CU will be reduced by
$2,500 to $5,202.
According to Vice President for
Finance and Administration Dr.
Heather Haberaecker, in order for
this plan to remain in effect, the
University must recruit 76 more
out-of-state students for the 1999-
2000 academic year. If that does
not occur, it will result in a loss of
$390,000 to the University.
Out-of-state tuition wasn't
always this high. Back in 1990, it
was $4,488 to attend Clarion
University. However,
Haberaecker said because of a
gradual decrease in students from
outside Pennsylvania, the
University had no choice but to
raise tuition in order to make up
for the loss.
Currently, CU has the fewest
number of out-of-state and inter-
national students. Only five per-
cent of the student body is from
outside Pennsylvania,
Haberaecker noted.
She said the University has

diversity when given an

--Dr. Heather
Haberaecker,
commenting on the
University's reason for

pushed for this tuition plan in
order to have a more diverse stu-
dent body. "You can only
achieve diversity when given an
opportunity to interact with peo-
ple from other cultures," she said.
Provost/Vice President for
Academic Affairs Dr. John Kuhn
added, "For true diversity, all
dimensions and areas must be rep-
resented in the classrooms."
In an attempt to get out-of-state
students to attend Clarion, Dr.
Haberaecker said the Admissions
office will be on the phone and
also use direct mail to send infor-
mation to those interested in the
University.
"As a result of this new tuition
plan, we will be going into Ohio,
New Jersey and New York to
recruit new students," said John
Shropshire, dean of enrollment
management and academic
records.
Haberacker added that a recruiter
has been hired to travel and to
inform people about Clarion
University in the surrounding
states in an effort to increase the
number of out-of state students

Trustees approve Master Plan
(continued from page 1)
As for Academic Support, Haberaecker
said that beginning in January, Campbell
Hall will be reconfigured in order to best
meet the needs of that department. "This is
only a temporary home," she stressed.
Meanwhile, both the English and Modern
Languages departments are expected to be
moved into Davis Hall by Fall 1999. She
said that meetings will be held with the fac-
ulty of both of those departments over the
course of this academic year to discuss the
proposed move.
When asked if students will be affected or
inconvenienced by the implementation of
this Facilities Master Plan, Haberaecker
responded, "There will be short-term incon-
venience for the long-term good of the
University... This plan will move us forward
in all respects."
Some of the funding for the plan will
come from capital requests to the State
System of Higher Education (SSHE), she
said. "Also, the President's Executive
Council (PEC) recently approved to allo-
cate $3.5 million over the next 5 years to
the Master Plan process," she said.
The allocation from the PEC is coming
from the University's normal Education and
General Budget.
"The funding from the PEC is how we are
able to do Davis, Keeling and Campbell as
well as be able to commit money to pay for
cost increased in renovations to Founders
Hall and Harvey Hall," she added.
According to Dr. Joseph Grunenwald,
chair of the Facilities Planning Committee,
funds to cover the plan will also come from
capital fundraising campaigns. He noted
the success of the current capital campaign
which has met its goal of raising $8 million
over a five-year period.
He estimates that the total cost for the
Master Plan will run somewhere between
$75 million and $100 million.
Another major goal for the first five years
of this plan include the construction of a
new residence hall.
Plans for the facility include the demoli-
tion of both the Haskell House and Alumni
House, located along Wood Street.
Haberaecker said there are needs to be
addressed, namely whether or not the new
residence hall will be arranged in an apart-
ment style setting to better compete with
other SSHE schools, such as Slippery Rock,
that have newer residence facilities that are
set up in that manner.
A second need for the new residence hall
is funding. "We are working on a finance
plan that enables us to build a residence hall
without increasing students' room fees,"
she said. She added that the University is
working on public and private arrange-
ments to provide a new residence for stu-
dents.
Haberaecker said that she plans on meet-
ing with Student Senate to keep them
informed as to the progress of the plan's
implementation.
She said she is planning five or six more
sessions on campus to keep the CU com-
munity informed.
Also, copies of the plan will be given to
all academic departments and smaller
brochures summarizing the plan's high-
lights will be distributed in an effort to offer
more information to the community without
going giving the students "information
overload."

the Master Plan in upcoming

added. "I feel that a successful
teacher must be able to go beyond the
classroom to educate."
Professors are not the only target
audience of the Web program
designed by Kuehn and Mitchell.
Student participation is also encour-
aged.
Students will be able to contribute
items such as book reviews and
essays to the Internet.
The Web program, the men said,
will now enable students and profes-
sors to communicate back and forth
from home, allowing students to have
a voice.
"We expect people to see people
develop cool stuff," Kuehn said.
Kuehn and Mitchell's new program
is expected to allow faculty to have
fun and enjoy social contact.
"We want to share the joy of teach-
ing with others and build on the social
contact that there is currently not
enough of," Mitchell said.
Professors are learning to learn new
material that will help them in becom-
ing better teachers. According to
Mitchell, all of the volunteer profes-
sors are said to be "excited about
being on the other side."
"I feel that professors have to be
interested in improving themselves
and learning new things," Mitchell
added.
The Web program is designed for
the professors themselves, outside of
class.
"We are showing them the tech-
niques to use. ..creativity from faculty
members is needed to get students
involved," Kuehn said.
Twenty-four Clarion faculty mem-
bers are volunteering their time to
learn Web publishing as they create a
Web site for one of their Fall 1998
semester courses. "Our purpose is to
help participants create a modern
course Web site during the fall semes-
ter to be implemented the next
spring," said both Kuehn and
Mitchell.
The Web program intends to uphold
the perception of Clarion University,
said both professors.
"We want the outside world to see
that Clarion has good professors and
is a great place to go to school," both
said. "We want to see students
become excited to talk about the field
outside of class whether it be with
each other or their professors."
"We are looking forward to a good
year and hope to receive the necesary
funding to keep the program running
once the year ends," Kuehn said.
Programs such as these cannot con-
tiue to provide experience to students
without funding. "Without funds,
students do not have opportunities."
Three other CU faculty who
received SSHE grants.
Dr. Shimen Chen, professor of
accounting, received $5,000 for "The
Value-Relevance of Accounting
Information in the Chinese Stock
Market."
Dr. Paul Hart, assistant professor of
history,, received $5,024 for
"Changing Material Culture and the
Creation of Class Consciousness in
19th Century Morelos, Mexico."
Finally, Dr. Deborah Burghardt,
director of Women's Studies, received
$2,000/ for "Women's Studies
Directors: Knowing Our Place."
The five proposals accepted have a
total funding of $21,812, according to
a release from University Relations.

Parking Lot B set to close Monday
by Mark Strieker
News Writer
Barring any delays, on Monday
Sept. 28, half of Parking Lot B
and a portion of Payne Street will
be closed forever to make room
for the new Student Recreation
Center.
The project will proceed as
planned, unless parking concerns
postpone construction.
Dr. Heather Haberaecker, Vice
President for Finance and
Administration, told Student
Senators that almost 260 more
parking passes were sold this year
than last year.
Haberaecker said that delaying
construction of the building may
be an option to help with parking
overcrowding, but is not likely.
While the lot and street are
scheduled to be closed on
Monday, Dave Tomeo, director of
Gemmell Student Complex, said
actual construction probably
won't begin until after
Homecoming.
However, he said some under-
ground pipelines will be re-routed

the Recreation Center.
On the first floor of the Center
will be three basketball courts
which will also accommodate
other activities like volleyball and
soccer. The first level will also
house the weight room and a juice
bar area and office space.
The second floor will house a
four-lane banked track.
A climbing wall will begin on
the first floor, continue to the sec-
ond, and partially protrude
through the ceiling allowing
climbers to look out through a
skylight in the roof.
Students have voiced their con-
cerns about the loss of parking
spaces once construction starts.
" Personally, I think that Clarion
University needs to postpone the
construction of the Rec Center
until the parking dilemma is
solved," said Leslie Suhr, Student
Senate Appropriations Committee
chair.
"Why didn't they close it (Lot
B) before school started? We
wouldn't have gotten used to
parking there," said former
Student Senate president Nicole
DeFrank.
Student Senate looks at parking situation
by Danielle Boccio and
Jennifer Mathis
News Writers
Dr. Heather Haberaecker, vice
president for finance and adminis-
tration, and Randy Rice, chair of
the Parking Committee, discussed
parking concerns at Monday
night's Student Senate meeting.
Both mentioned that the num-
ber of parking spaces on the
Clarion campus will become lim-
ited because of the forthcoming
construction of the Student
Recreation Center.
Immediate solutions were dis-
cussed at length and both parties
examined the options.
Currently, students who live
within a two-block radius of cam-
pus are denied parking permits.
One immediate solution discussed
was an extension of this parking
permit boundary. This solution, it
was suggested, would cut down
on students driving to and from
class, which would then open up
more spaces.
A second option was the idea of
having students park at the stadi-
um and having a shutUe bus bring
students back and forth from cam-
pus.
With this option, several ques-
tions arose from Senators as to
what would happen to the shuttle
service during sports seasons and
where spectators, athletes, and
band members will park.
Other questions arose about
where the funding will come from
and who will drive the bus and
keep up with its maintenance.
During this discussion, Senator
John Brown commented that we
should deal with the problem at
hand (parking) before the recre-
ation center is built.
In other business, Senate voted
to allocate $2,000 to WCCB,
Clarion University's AM radio
station.
The money will be used to pur-
chase a new sound system which
will be used for remote broadcasts
as well as concerts that the station
may sponsor over the next few
months. General Manager of
WCCB, Jeff Say, was on hand to
answer Senate questions concern-
ing how the funds will be used.
" I feel that this allocation will
push us in the right direction and
become more visible on campus,"
he said.
Say also told Senate that an
open house will be held on
Tuesday, Sept. 29 from 7-9 p.m. at
the station, located at 263
Gemmell Student Complex.
In other business, it was
announced that the fifth annual
Social Equity Dinner will be held
on November 18. The theme for
this year is " In Pursuit of
Community" and James Brown,
sports announcer for Fox Sports,
will be the guest speaker.
Naqeeb Hussain, chair of the
Student Relations Committee,
also announced that Lift Every
Voice Gospel Choir has been con-
tacted to see if they would be able
to perform at the dinner.
Finally, Kara Stimpert has been
named as the new Student Senate
secretary for the 1998-99 academ-
ic year. She began her duties at
Monday night's meeting.

SSHE attempting to meet
high-tech needs of students
by Gretchen Druschel
News Writer
The 14 Slate System of Higher
Education (SSHE) universities
offer four-year degree programs
in computer or information sci-
ence.
In the graduation year of 1996-
97, 240 students graduated from
the State System with baccalaure-
ate degrees in computer or infor-
mation science.
Another twenty-nine students
graduated in the 1996-97 school
year with master's degrees.
Clarion University's CIS depart-
ment strives to aid undergraduates
in terms of recruiters from busi-
nesses and posting flyers about
possible job opportunities follow-
ing graduation.
"Actually, our average graduate
probably has between three to
five job offers," commented Dr.
Dana Madison, department chair
of computer information science.
Madison said that Clarion
University's computer informa-
tion science department has
approximately a 100 percent
placement rate. Clarion's CIS
department prides itself on facili-
tating its graduates into the tech-
nological world.
Dixon University Center in
Harrisburg offers a master's
degree program through
Shippensburg University.
This three session, twelve week
program enables graduates to find
jobs with companies such as Rite
Aid, Capital Blue Cross and
Pennsylvania Blue Shield. Dixon
aids in expanding the knowledge
of students within the computer
science field.
It also offers a computer science
program for working adults in
connection with Elizabethtown
College.
IBM has joined with the Dixon
Center in order to confront the on-
going learning needs of workers
in the information age.
The Dixon Center also hosted a
"Summit Workshop" on July 8
which featured several panels of
government, education, business,
and industry leaders commenting
on issues dealing with science and
advanced technology education
and workforce development.

Dr. Sam Hazo
PA state poet reads at
Clarion University
by Jeff Chaffee
Lifestyles Writer
Tuesday, September 22,
brought Clarion a unique visi-
tor. Samuel Hazo, who calls
himself a "writer" rather than a
"poet," came to CUP to share
with the students and faculty
his take on the role of writing
in modern life.

workshop was the improve-

When I asked how a young

true poetry can come from any-
thing and that the best poems
are the truest expressions of a

and Sciences, English
Department, honor fraternity

Clarion Office of Academic
Affairs.
Perhaps Hazo's most stun-
ning line was offered at the
afternoon session. He told
those in attendence that "a
poetic line. . . is impossible to
forget." The crowd seemed to
agree. Hazo's clever use of
words and imagery give his
work a beauty not usually
found in poetry.

Clarion Clipper Closes its doors
Cory Pittman
Lifestyles Writer
As we return to Clarion we find
many new stores and restaurants.
We also lose some of the same
things. This is the case with the
Clarion Clipper. Numerous stu-
dents and townspeople frequent-
ed this Clarion landmark, but as
of Monday September 21, 1998,
the Clipper is no more.
It all started over thirty-five
years ago with a local business
man and a marketing professor.
In January of 1972, they decided
to open the Clarion Pancake
House. After several years of
business, they sold the restaurant
to Layne Geiring. Thus in April
of 1972, the Clarion Cupper was
bom.
The Clipper continued until
present serving meals to the stu-
dents and townspeople of
Clarion. As with any good thing,
the Clipper must come to an end.
In March of 1997 Mr. Giering put
the Clipper up for sale. It is still
on the market and the fate of the
restaurant is currently unknown.
While talking to Mr. Giering he
wished to thank everyone who
had visited his establishment. He
also gave me a little advice for
the future for Clarion students.
He said, "Don't plan on starting
at the top, learn the basics at the
bottom then climb to the top."
The Clarion Clipper has been a
fixture here in Clarion for many
years and with it's departure
Clarion loses one of it's most
notable landmarks.
George Groff/Clarion Call
After over 35 years of service the Clarion Clipper ends it's establishment in Clarion.
Celebrity Profile:
Leonardo
DiCaprio
by Veronica Looseleaf
Syndicated Writer
Though he's the heart-throb
of millions, Leonardo
DiCaprio, is not all that thrilled
about being recognized,
stalked, and paparazzied to
within an inch of his life.
And this is exactly what I
predicted would happen when
Leo made his very first talk
show appearance back in
November of 1992, on my
cable access televsion show,
"The Looseleaf Report." Leo
was 16, going on 12.
"You're gonna turn into this
huge sensation," I told Leo,
who was adorable even back
then, dressed in a wool plaid
shirt and baggy pants as he fid-
geted with his hair and kept
rubbing his nose with the back
of his hand. I also declared:
"Girls are gonna go nuts."
Leo's just your average boy
next door — if you happen to
live in Hollywood and are
house-hunting English tudor
mansions. He may be into
double digit million salaries
now, but he's still the lovable
Leo I remember. The one
who's double jointed and does
strange things with his shoulder
blades. The wild kid who got a
with fire, not firecrackers,
every Fourth of July. He's
also the devoted son who sur-
prised his father on his 50th
birthday with a new car — by
driving it into the party.
I caught up with Leo a few
months ago in New York,
where he was about to undergo
knee surgery for an injury he
incurred while shooting hoops.
Now that he's finished pro-
moting "The Man in the Iron
Mask" Leo said he plans on
taking a much needed vaca-
tion.
We doubt it'll be a long
ocean journey, but, hey —
with Leo, ya just never know.

Music Review
Former Screaming Trees singer with new album
by Keith Harrison
College Press Service
Mark Lanegan must take
pleasure in defying expectations.
As the last nails were being
pounded into the grunge coffin
in '96, his Screaming Trees
reached new heights of
Zeppelinesque splendor with
"Dust." And who, years ago,
would have expected that this
hard rock hero would now be
releasing his third solo disc of
exquisitely evocative postmod-
ern countryblues?
It's the sound of this record, a
droning and foreboding blues,
that captivates at first, "Hospital
Roll Call" simultaneously roams
and wobbles, a soundtrack to
some non-existent film noir
Western. Elsewhere, lonely,
howling guitar along the fringes
of "Waiting on a Train" stir the
ghosts of Robert Johnson and
Leadhelly, and a mesmerizing
Middle Eastern buzz builds to a
cathartic squall in "Because of
This."
But it's Lanegan's voice that
lingers long after this disc ends.
He's been compared to Jim
Morrison, but he's far more sub-
tle; this is an instrument that
reeks of the proverbial whiskey
and cigarettes without any of the
pretension or over emoting that
often attend such efforts. Simply
put, Lanegan has one of the
finest voices in rock today. All
the proof anyone needs, in fact,
can be found in his perfectly
played incantation of the word
"sixteen" on the disc-opening
"Hospital Roll Call." It's a
mantra that conjures up both
weariness and dread, and it's one
reason that "Scraps at Midnight"
stands as one of the finest discs
of the year.
The latest Versus disc kicks
off with the aptly named
"Atomic Kid," a surging blast of
adrenaline that's all chiming gui-
tars on top and churning, chaotic
rhythm section undeneath loads
of fun, albeit reminiscent of
reined-in Sonic Youth, particu-
larly given Richard Baluyut's
shades-of-Thurston Moore
vocals.
Overall though, they trade in a
bit of the propulsive kick and
roar of their previous "Secret
Swingers" disc the understated
shimmer of a song like "Dumb
Fun" or the melancholy air of
"Crazy-Maker" It's a promising
exchange on this track, although
a few others sputter when they
should take off.
Yet this band retains its not-so
secret weapon, second singer
Fontaine Toups, and she adds
dreamy, gorgeous vocals to the
cascading, "Never Be O.K." and
the rattling "Jack and Jill." And
while heartache stands as the
dominant lyrical concern, fol-
lowed by music-biz cynicism,
this band's smart and swirling
music certainly takes the edge
off the pain.
While the juvenile East Coast-
West Coast rap rival generally
has collapsed under the weight
of its own idiocy, hip hop's new
geographic diversity also should
get some of the credit; certainly,
the emergence of vibrant scenes
in Atlanta, Houston, Chicago
and other communities has aid
waste to the idea that New York
and L.A. are the only rap cities
that matter.
Residence Life changes include renovation of Basketball Courts
by Janet Paszint
Lifestyles Writer
The Basketball Courts behind
Nair and Wilkinson Halls have
been repaved and new equip-
ment installed. The original
courts were built approximately
25 years ago and have been
repaired on a regular basis. Two
years ago the Outdoor
Recreational Committee decided
to take a look at what kinds of
things could be done to improve
them. The committee found that
they needed more than repair,
they needed to be replaced.
The Student Association had
money available for recreational
purposes and agreed to purchase
the new equipment if the
University would install it. A
schedule was set up to do the
work and the new high quality
equipment that meets new safety
standardswas ordered.
In the middle of that summer
due to a "contractual argument
concerning prevailing wages"
according to Mr. Hal Wassink,
Coordinator of Student
Activities, the state was not
approving any paving contracts.
It was decided not to do any-

thing with the basketball court
project during the summer of
1997. The project was put on
hold until the spring of 1998.
Mr. Heidler and Mr. Larson,
from Maintenance, scheduled
the project again for this past
spring and had it finished the
first week of July. This enabled
summer students to use the new
courts as well as allowing the
summer basketball program to
utilize the courts for their sum-
mer basketball camp.
"Maintenance did a marvelous,
marvelous job," commented
Wassink, "Those two gentlemen
deserve a lot of credit for getting
this project scheduled and com-
pleted." Wassink went on to
say, "This is a good example of
the cooperation between Student
Activities and Maintenance."
The improvements include six
new baskets and three newly
paved full courts. 'These new
courts are being utilized a great
deal, which we are very pleased
about," said Wassink, "It is the
ultimate compliment."
This will be the fourth year
that the Student Activities office
has completed the Residential
Hall Recreation Equipment pro-
gram. The Student Activities
office provides a minimum level
of support for the recreational
items in the residence halls. Part

of the agreement for implemen-
tation of the program is that the
residence halls make the equip-
ment available for both resident
and non-resident students with a
valid I.D. "This puts the equip-
ment where a lot of our student
body lives and also provides the
opportunity for non-resident stu-
dents to check out and use the
equipment." stated Wassink.
In a joint effort with the
Intramural Department and
Student Activities, Mr. Doug
Knepp, Director of Intramural
and Recreation investigated the
purchase of in-line skates and
has put in. an order for them.
They are expected to arrive
within the next month and will
be available for rental, $2.00 a
day, from the Outdoor
Equipment Room at 217 Tippin
Gym. The in-line skate rental
includes knee, elbow, and wrist
pads.
Also in progress according to
Knepp, is an in-line hockey area
to be developed near Wilkinson
Hall at one of the tennis courts.
New nets for the tennis courts
have already been put out.
Knepp is also in the process of
ordering additional climbing
equipment to be used for the
Clarion Outdoor Program.
Bicycles, inner tubes for use in
the water or on snow, snow
sleds, cross-country skis, canoes,
paddles, backpacks, PDF's,
tents, camping accessories, and
caving equipment are available
to students for a $2.00 daily fee.
These pieces of equipment can
be reserved and rented Monday
through Friday from 3:00 p.m.
to 5:00 p.m. or by appointment
upstairs in Tippin Gym.

Batman to the Rescue
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist
One evening my wife men-
tioned, casually that she had
been talking to the son of one of
her friends, a little boy named
Alexander, about his upcoming
fourth birthday.
"Alexander says he's having a
Batman party," my wife said
"Hm," I said.
"So I told him that maybe
Batman would come to the
party," my wife said.
"Hm," I said.
My wife said nothing then.
She just looked at me.
Suddenly, I knew who was
going to be Batman.
I was not totally opposed. In
my youth I read many Batman
comics, and it seemed to me that
he has a pretty neat life, dis-
guised as wealthy playboy Bruce
Wayne, waiting for the police
commissioner of Gotham City to
shine the Bat Signal onto the
clouds(it was always a cloudy
night when the commissioner
needed Batman). Then Bruce
would change instantly — it
took him only one comic-book
panel — into his Batman cos-
tume and roar off in the
Batmobile to do battle with the
Forces of Evil or attend a birth-
day party.
Of course, Bruce owned his
own Batman costume. I had to
rent mine. It consisted of
numerous black rubber pieces,
similar to automobile floor mats,
with strings so you could tie
them to your body. One piece
was shaped like rippling chest
muscles, so you could transform
yourself, like magic, from a
flabby weakling into a flabby
weakling wearing an automobile
floor mat.
It took me a lot longer than
one comic panel to get into this
costume, but finally I was ready
to speak the words that strike
fear into the hearts of criminals
everywhere: "Michelle, could
you tie my G-string?" It turns
out that a key part of the Batman
costume is this triangular floor
mat piece that protects the Bat
Region. It's very difficult to
attach this piece to yourself
without help, which could
explain why Batman hooked up
with Robin.
At last I was ready. In full Bat
regalia, I stepped out of the
house, and — as crazy as this
may sound — for the first time I
truly understood, as only a cru-
sader for justice can understand,
why people do not wear heavy
black rubber outfits in South
Florida in August. Staggering
through the armor-piercing sun-
shine and 384 percent humility, I
made it to the Batmobile, which
was disguised as a wealthy play-
boy Toyota Celica.
When we got to Alexander's
house, in accordance with our
Bat Plan, I remained outside in
the Batmobile while Michelle
went to the back yard, where the
party was going on. We had
bought Alexander a Batman
walkie-talkie set; Michelle gave
Alexander one unit and told him
to use it to call Batman. These
Batman walkie-talkies contain
actual transistors, so when
Alexander called me, I was able
to hear, on the other unit, clear
as a bell, a random bunch of sta-
tic. Interpreting this as the Bat
Signal, I pulled the rubber Bat
Cowl over my head, thus render-
ing myself legally blind, and
drove the Toyota Batmobile into
the back yard.
The effect on the party guests,
as you would expect, was elec-
trifying. The adults were so
electrified that some of them
almost wet themselves. The
younger guests were stunned
into silence, except for Matthew,
age 1, who ran, crying, to his
mom, and probably did wet him-
self.
With all eyes upon me, I
stopped the Batmobile, flung the
door open, and, in one fluid,
manly motion, sprang out of the
seat, then got retracted violently
back into the seat, because I had
forgotten to unfasten my seat
belt. Eventually I was able to
disentangle my cape and stride
in a manly, rubberized way over
to the birthday boy.
"Happy birthday, Alexander!"
I said, using a deep Bat Voice.
After that the conversation
lagged, because, let's be honest,
what are you going to talk to
Batman about? The pennant
races? So we just stood there
for a while, with Alexander star-
ing at me, and me trying to look
manly and calm despite the fact
after 30 seconds in the sun I
could have fried an egg on top
of my cowl.
Finally the cake arrived, and
everybody sang "Happy
Birthday," and I announced that
I had to go fight crime. Striding
back to the Batmobile, I opened
the car door, turned dramatically
toward the youngsters and said,
quote, "BWEEPBWEEPB-
WEEPBWEEP" Actually, it was
the Batmobile that said this,
because I had forgotten to deac-
tivate the Bat Alarm. I climbed
into the front seat, slammed the
door with several inches of cape
sticking out the bottom, and
backed manfully and blindly
into the street. Fortunately there
was nothing in my way, because
I would definitely have hit it,
and the law would not have been
on my side. ("Mr. Barry, please
tell the jury exactly what you
were wearing as you backed
over the plaintiff.")
The next day, Alexander's
mom reported that the first thing
he did when he woke up was
turn on his walkie-talkie and call
Batman. He said he could hear
Batman, but Batman couldn't
hear him because he was busy
fighting evil super criminals
named Poison Ivy and Mr.
Freeze. This was almost true:
Batman was actually battling
Heat Rash. So he will be out of
action for a while. The next
superhero from this household to
visit Alexander — and I have
made this very clear to Michelle
— will definitely be Cat
Woman.

Movie Review
Rush Hour brings in
the crowds
by Mike Cody
Lifestyles Writer
While watching Rush Hour,
the new film from Jackie Chan
and Chris Tucker, I had the nag-
ging suspicion that I'd seen this
movie countless times before. A
straight-laced cop teams with a
wild cop to solve a case that
their department doesn't want
them to crack, blowing up half a
city in the process. Hmmm...
maybe I wandered into the
Lethal Weapon 4 theater by acci-
dent
Although annoyingly familiar,
buddy cop films simply refuse to
go away, Rush Hour manages to
still inject some fun into this
tired, old formula. Both Tucker
and Chan appear to be having a
great time while trading one-lin-
ers and and kung-fu kicks. Rush
Hour is Tucker's first real
chance to shine as a leading man
and Chan's best opportunity yet
to become a major American
action star.
In Rush Hour, Tucker plays an
LAPD officer assigned to escort
Chan, a Chinese policeman
searching for his friend's kid-
napped daughter. The plot is
further complicated by the
involvment of Chinese gangsters
and the fact that (surprise, sur-
prise) Chan and Tucker can't
stand one another. After several
huge explosions and a little male
bonding, the two cops put aside
their differences and solve the
case.
Rush Hour could hardly be
considered an innovative film,
but Chan's incredibly dangerous
stunts, which include flipping
himself into a double-decker bus
while hanging from a road sign,
are always a blast to watch.
Chris Tucker's nasal comedic
style is much more tolerable
than in his previous effort, the
abysmal Money Talks, and cre-
ates quite a few laughs.
Has America had its fill of
buddy cop flicks yet? Rush
Hour's incredible $31 million
opening weekend certainly sug-
gests that we haven't. It's a tried
and true formula that we all
know by heart. Even though
you saw this film back when it
was called Lethal Weapon and
you'll probably spot every plot
twist from a mile away, that
doesn't mean Rush Hour is any
less enjoyable.

The Golden Eagles knew what
was coming Saturday — they just
couldn't stop it.
Damian Beane, the leading
returning rusher in the nation in
Division II, ran for 254 yards on
34 totes to lead host Shepherd to
a 27-20 win over Clarion in front
of 2,500 fans at Ram Stadium.
"He's a good back. There's no
question about that," said Clarion
head coach Malen Luke.
Beane set the tone in the game's
early stages . After a 6-yard jaunt
on the contest's opening play, the
Baltimore native rumbled for 65
yards two plays later to put the
Rams on the Clarion 23.
Shepherd (2-1) put the first points
on the board five plays later when
Matt Davis and Dan Woodward
hooked up for a 7-yard touch-
down pass.
Beane struck again with just
under 10 minutes remaining in
the second quarter, finding pay
dirt on a 42-yard run to boost the
Shepherd lead to 14-0.
Teammate James Rooths got
into the act just over a minute
later, capitalizing on some key
blocks for a 68-yard punt return
for a touchdown.
Clarion (1-2) finally got on the
scoreboard in the second period
when Chris Weibel found Alvin
Slaughter for a 67-yard touch-
down pass 7:29 before half time.
The extra point would fail,
though, leaving Clarion behind
21-6 at the half.
After falling victim to big plays
in the first half, the Eagles came
up with some key plays them-
selves to claw back into the con-
test. Forced into punt formation
at their own 32, Clarion up-man
Ryan Presutti took a short snap
and bolted 68 yards for a Golden
Eagle touchdown.
Clarion was unable to convert
the two-point conversion, making
the score 21-12.
Beane restored the Shepherd
cushion to 15 points on a 10-yard
run.
However, the Eagles made one
more stab at it.

That would be the end of the
Clarion threat however, as the
Rams curled up on an onside
kick.
Alvin Slaughter continues to put
up big numbers for the Eagles,
nabbing eight passes for 144
yards and Clarion's lone offen-
sive touchdown.
While Clarion's opponent
changes each week, the Eagles'
biggest foe remains inconsisten-
cy.

nearly seeing the Marauders

Clarion will look for more con-
sistency as the season wears on.
Luke feels the Eagles aren't yet at
the point that they can play with-
out a great deal of emotion and
defeat a quality team.
"The big thing is that we didn't
go down there and play with the
kind of emotion that we needed to
play with," said Luke.
"As it was, we still had a chance
to win the game. The game was-
n't over until the last minute."

The Clarion volleyball team
posted a strong 3-1 record at the
Charleston Tournament. The
Golden Eagles knocked off
Wheeling Jesuit in the full five
games and then went on to
orchestrate a sweep of both
Mount Olive and Queens
College. Their only setback
came in three games to Edinboro.
The Eagles returned home and
were defeated by Lock Haven.
Lock Haven built a quick 2-0
lead. The Golden Eagles stormed
back in the third game to prevent
the sweep, but still fell 3-1.
Clarion now stands at 6-8 overall
and 1-2 in the PSAC-West.

The Clarion golf team continues
to rise.
Following its third-place finish
at Glenville State last week, the
Golden Eagles were back in
action at the Fall Golf Challenge
at Pitt-Greensburg Sept. 17, post-
ing a team score of 324 to claim
first place via a tiebreaker over
Carnegie Mellon.
The Golden Eagles were led by
Shawn Will's 79, which was good
enough for a third-place finish in
the 55 -player field. Anthony
Tacconelli, a freshman, posted an
impressive fifth-place finish with
a round of 80.
The rest of the team's scores
were J.P. Kenney with an 82,
Andy Ganoe with an 83, and Mike
Robb with an 85.
Following their win, the Golden
Eagles traveled to Bucknell
University for a two-day event
that featured a field full of
Division I talent
The team posted a respectable
llth-place finish out of 18 teams.
The individual team low was fired
by Tacconelli at 156. Other scores
included Kenney (159), Will
(161), Matt Honacki (164), and
Ganoe (168).

Week Four Scouting Report
VS.
Clarion (1-2) Kutztown (2-0)
Where: University Field (5,600), Kutztown, Pa.
When: Saturday, 1:30 p.m. Radio: C 93 (92.7 FM)
Weather: Partly cloudy, high 80, low 59
Series: Clarion leads 8-1
Last meeting: 1991; Clarion won 33-27.
The Golden Eagles hit the highway again this week for yet another
difficult road contest as they travel to Kutztown in a PSAC inter-divi-
sional matchup. Saturday's game will be the second of three road
contests for Clarion, which lost at Shepherd (W.Va.), 27-20, and next
week opens the PSAC-West schedule at nationally ranked Slippery
Rock.
After a 6-4 season in 1997, the Bears have started strong this year
thanks to the return of 1 9 starters. Kutztown won its first two con»°sts
against PSAC-West opponents Lock Haven and Shippensburg and
will not leave the state of Pennsylvania this season, playing all ten of
their games against PSAC schools.
There are several keys to a Clarion win on Saturday. First, their
defense must corral the PSAC's top rushing attack, led by junior run-
ning back Emneko Sweeney. Sweeney has averaged 122 yards in his
first two games while also grabbing 11 catches for 94 yards.
Meanwhile, freshman Yorel Prosser has also emerged as a threat out
of the Bears' backfield, running for 144 yards on just 15 carries. The
Golden Eagles' defensive line will have its hands full with KU's offen-
sive line, which was given the PSAC Eastern Division offensive play-
er of the week award for its efforts in the Bears' 35-7 win over Lock
Haven in the opener. Last week's offensive player of the week, fresh-
man quarterback Michael de Marteleire has been extremely accurate
in his first two collegiate endeavors, completing 64 percent of his pass-
es with fourTDs and no interceptions.
Secondly, the Golden Eagles must continue their strong play on spe-
cial teams. Kutztown's Jason Gray and freshman Terry Robertson
lead the PSAC in punt and kickoff returns respectively. However,
Clarion's special teams have been just as impressive, led by All-
American Alvin Slaughter. In addition to his PSAC-leading 22 recep-
tions for 440 yards, Slaughter has picked up 223 return yards. Last
week at Shepherd, the special teams recorded two touchdowns. Brett
Wiley returned a blocked punt by Ryan Presutti for a touchdown late
in the fourth quarter after Presutti had earlier run a fake punt 68 yards
for a touchdown.
Finally, the Golden Eagles must establish a rushing attack early in
the game to open up more opportunities for senior quarterback Chris
Weibel and Slaughter. Through three games, Clarion ranks 12th out
of 14 teams in the conference in rushing (112.7 yards per game).
Senior Jamie Sickeri leads the rushing attack despite being hampered
by a leg injury. He has compiled 108 yards on 17 carries.
EXTRA POINTS: Clarion sophomore Ryan Presutti was named
PSAC-West defensive player of the week for his 13-tackle, one-sack
performance against Shepherd. ... Kutztown can boast of having the
most former PSAC players on active NFL rosters (2) — Denver line-
backer John Mobley and Buffalo wide receiver Andre Reed both
attended KU.

ortsview: Call to all Steeler fans
By Chris Pfeil
Associate Sports Editor
After three weeks of mediocre
play, the Pittsburgh Steelers are
scratching their heads trying to
figure out what is going wrong.
The offense has been flat-out
disgusting. Kordell Stewart has
the lowest quarterback rating in
the league (38.0), completing
only 45.7 percent of his passes
and throwing six interceptions,
most of them into double and
triple coverage.
As poorly as Kordell has played,
the run defense has been equally
unimpressive. The Steelers are
giving up 117.3 yards per game
on the ground. The last two
weeks, Curtis Enis and Karim
Abdul-Jabbar have run up and
down the once-feared Steeler
defense.
Bill Cowher has promised
Steeler fans that he will find a
way to win. The only way
Cowher is going to find a way to
get the Steelers on the right track
is by doing something he seems to
have gotten away from — coach-
ing.
Over the past two seasons,
Cowher has tried to be a cheer-
leader instead of a coach. The
Steelers have not been prepared
for any of their first three games.
The blame has to be on his shoul-
ders. It is time Cowher gets down
to coaching instead of worrying
about his media image.
With that off my chest, I will
now turn my attention to the
Steeler fans. The Steelers have
the toughest schedule in the
league. If the Steelers are going
to entertain any thought of going
to the Super Bowl, Three Rivers
Stadium better be rocking every
Sunday.
It is evident that the Steelers
aren't as talented as everyone
thought they were. However, the
secret to the Steelers' success has
always been their dominance at
home. The Steelers need their
fans this year more than ever to
continue to create the most hos-
tile environment in the NFL.
With seven home games remain-
ing, Steeler fans should be
reminded that this is the year that
many former Steelers who left for
free agency return to Three
Rivers. Now, it is payback time
for the Steeler faithful. It is your
chance to break out in a chorus of
boos to welcome back the players
that turned their back on you.
September 27
The Seattle Seahawks come into
town this Sunday with a 3-0
record. The Seahawks feel that
this is their year to make a run at
the playoffs and are hoping to
come into Pittsburgh and make a
statement to the rest of the league.
Sunday's game marks the return
of Chad Brown and "Wee" Willie
Williams to Blitzburgh. Brown
became one of the league's best
linebackers in Pittsburgh and
promptly bolted when his contract
was up. Williams showed
glimpses of potential while in
Pittsburgh but chose to join
Brown in the great football town
of Seattle.
October 18
When the Baltimore "Browns"
come into Pittsburgh, the game
will mark the return of future Hall
of Famer Rod Woodson.
Woodson spent 10 brilliant sea-
sons with the Steelers, before
moving on to San Francisco last
year and Baltimore this year.
Throughout Woodson's career,
Steeler fans embraced him. Fans
flocked to stores to purchase his
#26 jersey and Woodson's All-
Star Grille was the hot spot at
Station Square.
Upon his departure to the 49ers,
Woodson thanked the city that
embraced him by calling
Pittsburgh a racist town.
Well, Rod, when you come back
on the field at Three Rivers in
your cute purple uniform, don't
expect the Steeler fans to forget
your gratitude towards them.
November 1
The Steelers open the month of
November by hosting the
Tennessee Oilers. You know what
that means. That's right, the
return of Yancey Thigpen.
Yancey, I warned you this day
would come. I hope you are
enjoying yourself down in
Tennessee, and I want you to
know that we have had this date
circled on our calendar since the
schedule came out.
I went to every sporting goods
store in Western Pennsylvania and
purchased your old Steelers jersey
on clearance for $9.99 a piece.
I'm going to use them to fuel a
bonfire outside of Gate C. You're
more than welcome to stop by.
I'll be the guy explaining to the
little children why you left your
fans to play for a losing team and
how the only thing you care about
is money.
November 9
Even though the Packers don't
have any former Steelers on their
roster, it's Monday Night
Football, and that is enough rea-
son to get crazy.
The Packers look like they are
on track to make their third
straight appearance in the Super
Bowl. This will be a huge test for
the Steelers to see if they are legit-
imate tide contenders.
November 22
The Jacksonville Jaguars will
come to town for what should be
a pivotal game in the AFC Central
race. Since the departure of the
Browns, the Jags have stepped up
to become the Steelers' new divi-
sional rival.
Last year, the Steelers pulled out
an overtime victory in Three
Rivers and this year's game
promises to be another close bat-
tle between the two division
favorites.
December 6
New England rolls into town
with vengeance on their mind.
The Patsies fell to the Steelers 7-6
in the playoffs last year, and no
doubt feel they were the better
team.
This will be another game that
will have a huge impact on the
AFC playoff picture. The Steelers
pulled one out late in the regular
season last year in New England,
and the Patsies will be looking to
do the same this year.
December 20
The schedule makers have saved
the best for last. The Steelers will
close out their home schedule
against the Cincinnati Bengals,
led by none other than Neil
O'Donnell.
It might get ugly in Three
Rivers. O'Donnell, the guy who
threw away Super Bowl XXX and
then jetted for dollar signs in New
York, may hear the loudest boos
in the history of the NFL.
I, along with every Steeler fan in
the world, still can see him hitting
Larry Brown right between the
numbers twice to cost the Steelers
their fifth Super Bowl ring.
Good Luck, Neil, and remember
not to take your helmet off.
Well Steeler fans, there should
be plenty of motivation to keep
Three Rivers Stadium rocking the
whole 1998 season. I have faith
that you will not let me down.
But, make sure you don't strain
your vocal cords too much,
because next year marks the
return of the Cleveland Browns.

Rugby opens
By Matt Wilson
Sports Writer
The Clarion Taffurs men's club
rugby team is coming off a suc-
cessful spring season in which
they placed in several tourna-
ments and have high hopes for
the fall season.
The Taffurs' most significant
tournament placing was at the
Washington St. Patrick's Day
Tournament in which they placed
second out of 16 teams in
Division II.
Now a new season is underway
and the Taffurs are looking to
build on the success of the spring
season. The Taffurs picked up
where they left off this past
Saturday when they traveled to
Fairmont State and won convinc
ingly, 75-10.
The Taffurs scored early and
often when Alan Sarazen scored
the first of his three tries on the
day. Also scoring three tries was
Mike Smith, followed by Chad
Lowe, Josh Lefcowitz, John
DeMarinis, Neil Sorek, and Matt
Wilson each having one.
The match was the first of four
scheduled this season. The
Taffurs, who play in Division III,
will travel to Juniata College this
Saturday.
Now that you've had a lover,
maybe you need a friend.

Pittsburgh a racist town.
Well, Rod, when you come back
on the field at Three Rivers in
your cute purple uniform, don't
expect the Steeler fans to forget
your gratitude towards them.
November 1
The Steelers open the month of
November by hosting the
Tennessee Oilers. You know what
that means. That's right, the
return of Yancey Thigpen.
Yancey, I warned you this day
would come. I hope you are
enjoying yourself down in
Tennessee, and I want you to
know that we have had this date
circled on our calendar since the
schedule came out.
I went to every sporting goods
store in Western Pennsylvania and
purchased your old Steelers jersey
on clearance for $9.99 a piece.
I'm going to use them to fuel a
bonfire outside of Gate C. You're
more than welcome to stop by.
I'll be the guy explaining to the
little children why you left your
fans to play for a losing team and
how the only thing you care about
is money.
November 9
Even though the Packers don't
have any former Steelers on their
roster, it's Monday Night
Football, and that is enough rea-
son to get crazy.
The Packers look like they are
on track to make their third
straight appearance in the Super
Bowl. This will be a huge test for
the Steelers to see if they are legit-
imate title contenders.
November 22
The Jacksonville Jaguars will
come to town for what should be
a pivotal game in the AFC Central
race. Since the departure of the
Browns, the Jags have stepped up
to become the Steelers' new divi-
sional rival.
Last year, the Steelers pulled out
an overtime victory in Three
Rivers and this year's game
promises to be another close bat-
tle between the two division
favorites.
December 6
New England rolls into town
with vengeance on their mind.
The Patsies fell to the Steelers 7-6
in the playoffs last year, and no
doubt feel they were the better
team.
This will be another game that
will have a huge impact on the
AFC playoff picture. The Steelers
pulled one out late in the regular
season last year in New England,
and the Patsies will be looking to
do the same this year.
December 20
The schedule makers have saved
the best for last. The Steelers will
close out their home schedule
against the Cincinnati Bengals,
led by none other than Neil
O' Donne II.
It might get ugly in Three
Rivers. O'Donnell, the guy who
threw away Super Bowl XXX and
then jetted tor dollar signs in New
York, may hear the loudest boos
in the history of the NFL.
I, along with every Steeler fan in
the world, still can see him hitting
Larry Brown right between the
numbers twice to cost the Steelers
their fifth Super Bowl ring.
Good Luck, Neil, and remember
not to take your helmet off.
Well Steeler fans, there should
be plenty of motivation to keep
Three Rivers Stadium rocking the
whole 1998 season. I have faith
that you will not let me down.
But, make sure you don't strain
your vocal cords too much,
because next year marks the
return of the Cleveland Browns.

Rugby opens
By Matt Wilson
Sport s Writer
The Clarion Taffurs men's club
rugby team is coming off a suc-
cessful spring season in which
they placed in several tourna-
ments and have high hopes for
the fall season.
The Taffurs' most significant
tournament placing was at the
Washington St. Patrick's Day
Tournament in which they placed
second out of 16 teams in
Division II.
Now a new season is underway
and the Taffurs are looking to
build on the success of the spring
season. The Taffurs picked up
where they left off this past
Saturday when they traveled to
Fairmont State and won convinc-
ingly, 75-10.
The Taffurs scored early and
often when Alan Sarazen scored
the first of his three tries on the
day. Also scoring three tries was
Mike Smith, followed by Chad
Lowe, Josh Lefcowitz, John
DeMarinis, Neil Sorek, and Matt
Wilson each having one.
The match was the first of four
scheduled this season. The
Taffurs, who play in Division III,
will travel to Juniata College this
Saturday.
Now that ijou've had a lover,
matjbe you need a friend.

By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
Stylish, outgoing, and blessed
with an abundance of talent,
Alvin Slaughter is everything a
college football star should be.
The six-foot, 190-pound wide
receiver/kick returner from Carol
City, Fla., has dazzled the crowd
at Memorial Stadium for three
seasons with skills that have
earned him a place on the PS AC-
West first team and the Division
II All-America squad.
Slaughter, now a senior, has
shown no sign of slowing down
this fall. Alvin started the season
with an eight-catch, 103-yard
performance at Youngstown
State, followed by a stellar 307
all-purpose yard showing against
Millersville Sept. 12.
For the 6,000 fans on hand at
Memorial Stadium for Clarion's
38-31 win over Millersville, the
most memorable part of the game
was Slaughter's 71 -yard touch-
down reception from quarterback
Chris Weibel with just over a
minute to play. But, according to
Alvin , that game-winning score
was four months in the making.
Also a member of the CUP
track team, Slaughter was at
Millersville in May for the PS AC
track and field championships.
On hand was most of the
Marauder football team, which
heckled Slaughter throughout the
preliminaries and the finals.
"They were ragging on Kervin
(teammate Charles) and I, saying
how Kervin is short, that I could-
n't catch, and that they had the
best secondary in the country,"
says Slaughter.
"I just couldn't wait for that
game. I felt that I could get the
corners deep. The corners kept
running up on us hard to stop
Weibel from running the option.
So we called the play and it was
picture perfect"
That it was, as Alvin, Kervin,
and the rest of the Golden Eagles
celebrated their first win of the
season while the Marauders
endured the long trip back to
Millersville.
While Clarion fans have come
to expect big things of Slaughter,
Clarion is a place Alvin never
expected to end up in college.
As an all-Florida performer at
Pace High School (outside of
Miami), Slaughter was
recruited by the likes of^
Miami (Fla.), Florida
State, Florida, and
Central Florida.
Ask Alvin of his
recruiting process, and
he talks of experiences
only a select group of players
can attest to.
Slaughter speaks of being
unimpressed with Florida
head coach Steve
Spurrier, while being
drawn to Florida
State boss Bobby
Bowden.
"The biggest turnoff was that
(Spurrier) just spoke with me real
quickly and didn't even really
acknowledge me," says Alvin. "I
don't even think he knew what I
was wearing. He was just like,
'We really want you ... I want
you to think about it real hard ...
You have an opportunity to play
here.' — just the things
(recruiters) normally tell you.
That was it. We didn't sit down
and talk about the visit or what I
expected of him. He didn't real-
ly sit down and talk to me like the
other coaches."
However, Alvin, who speaks
about the game of football with
the same enthusiasm that he
plays it with, changes his tone
when talking about Seminole
head coach Bowden.
"He sat down and explained
every little thing," recalls Alvin.
"He told me how many receivers
they were recruiting. He told me
everything. They were recruiting
four receivers that year and he
said I was one of their best guys.
The other receivers were more
like possession receivers.
"(Bowden) told me where I
would be on the depth chart and
that I could play special teams if
I didn't want to red-shirt. He
made me feel like he really want-
ed me."
But as Slaughter's senior year
pushed on, his future in college
football was undecided. Alvin
was afraid the recruiting process
was passing him by and his
mother, Lois, was adamant that
he go to college. As the summer
arrived, Alvin's high school
coach placed calls to Division II
schools in the north and Clarion
was the first to show interest.
"It was one of those last-second
things," says Alvin. "All of a
sudden I was pushed. My mom
and my high school coach want-
ed me to go to college because
once you start sitting out you're
never going to go to school."

By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
Stylish, outgoing, and blessed
with an abundance of talent,
Alvin Slaughter is everything a
college football star should be.
The six-foot, 190-pound wide
receiver/kick returner from Carol
City, Fla., has dazzled the crowd
at Memorial Stadium for three
seasons with skills that have
earned him a place on the PS AC-
West first team and the Division
II All-America squad.
Slaughter, now a senior, has
shown no sign of slowing down
this fall. Alvin started the season
with an eight-catch, 103 -yard
performance at Youngstown
State, followed by a stellar 307
all-purpose yard showing against
Millersville Sept. 12.
For the 6,000 fans on hand at
Memorial Stadium for Clarion's
38-31 win over Millersville, the
most memorable part of the game
was Slaughter's 71 -yard touch-
down reception from quarterback
Chris Weibel with just over a
minute to play. But, according to
Alvin , that game-winning score
was four months in the making.
Also a member of the CUP
track team, Slaughter was at
Millersville in May for the PS AC
hack and field championships.
On hand was most of the
Marauder football team, which
heckled Slaughter throughout the
preliminaries and the finals.
"They were ragging on Kervin
(teammate Charles) and I, saying
how Kervin is short, that I could-
n't catch, and that they had the
best secondary in the country,"
says Slaughter.
"I just couldn't wait for that
game. I felt that I could get the
corners deep. The corners kept
running up on us hard to stop
Weibel from running the option.
So we called the play and it was
picture perfect."
That it was, as Alvin, Kervin,
and the rest of the Golden Eagles
celebrated their first win of the
season while the Marauders
endured the long trip back to
Millersville.
While Clarion fans have come
to expect big things of Slaughter,
Clarion is a place Alvin never
expected to end up in college.
As an all-Florida performer at
Pace High School (outside of
Miami), Slaughter was^
recruited by the likes of|
Miami (Fla.), Florida
State, Florida, and
Central Florida.
Ask Alvin of his
recruiting process, and
he talks of experiences that
only a select group of players
can attest to.
Slaughter speaks of being
unimpressed with Florida
head coach Steve
Spurrier, while being
drawn to Florida
State boss Bobby
Bowden.
'The biggest turnoff was that
(Spurrier) just spoke with me real
quickly and didn't even really
acknowledge me," says Alvin. "I
don't even think he knew what I
was wearing. He was just like,
'We really want you ... I want
you to think about it real hard ...
You have an opportunity to play
here.' — just the things
(recruiters) normally tell you.
That was it. We didn't sit down
and talk about the visit or what I
expected of him. He didn't real-
ly sit down and talk to me like the
other coaches."
However, Alvin, who speaks
about the game of football with
the same enthusiasm that he
plays it with, changes his tone
when talking about Seminole
head coach Bowden.
"He sat down and explained
every little thing," recalls Alvin.
"He told me how many receivers
they were recruiting. He told me
everything. They were recruiting
four receivers that year and he
said I was one of their best guys.
The other receivers were more
like possession receivers.
"(Bowden) told me where I
would be on the depth chart and
that I could play special teams if
I didn't want to red-shirt. He
made me feel like he really want-
ed me."
But as Slaughter's senior year
pushed on, his future in college
football was undecided. Alvin
was afraid the recruiting process
was passing him by and his
mother, Lois, was adamant that
he go to college. As the summer
arrived, Alvin's high school
coach placed calls to Division II
schools in the north and Clarion
was the first to show interest.
"It was one of those last-second
things," says Alvin. "All of a
sudden I was pushed. My mom
and my high school coach want-
ed me to go to college because
once you start sitting out you're
never going to go to school."
When Slaughter arrived in

The Clarion Call
September 24, 1998
Slaughter has plenty in store for Clarion fans this fall
continued from page 23
Clarion that fall, it was very
apparent to Clarion head coach
Malen Luke that he had a star on
his hands.
"We knew we had something
special from watching him on
film," said Luke. "Coming out of
high school, it was clear that he
had the ability and talent."
Slaughter quickly proved to be
an asset to the Golden Eagles.
Perhaps the game Clarion fans
most remember Alvin for was his
155-yard showing in Clarion's 49-
15 romp of IUP in 1996. That win
spurred the Golden Eagles on to a
showing in the national semifinals
and a spot on the national college
football scene.
"That was one of my best
games," says Alvin. "We had two
great running backs in Steve Witte
and Ron DeJidas, and Chris
Weibel was having one of those
years. Back then, I was on the
team and when I needed to per-
form, I did. When I needed to
make a big catch, I would.
"Coach came up to me before
the game and said that he was
going to me. And the second play
of the game he called my number
and it just happened. Once you
make one big play it's just going
to start happening."
Although things started "hap-
pening" on the field for Alvin, off
the field was another story.
Slaughter says it took him nearly
two years to make the adjustment
from the palm trees and sand of
southern Florida to the pine trees
and snow of western
Pennsylvania.
"Carol City is like a night club,"
explains Alvin. "It's like a party
scene. Every night, Monday
through Sunday, something is
going on. Coming to Clarion was
so much different. I didn't have
any friends and I didn't know any-

Some of Alvin Slaughter's best games have occured on the turf of Clarion's Memorial
Stadium. In 1996, Slaughter led the Golden Eagles to a 49-15 win over IUP with a 155-yard
performance. Against California-Davis a year ago, Slaughter racked up 236 yards of total
offense in a 35-28 overtime setback to the Aggies. Two weeks ago, Slaughter led Clarion
to a 38-31 triumph over Millersville by recording 307 all-purpose yards.

is, 'What can he do other than play

him on special teams. He's run-
ning down on kickoffs and return-
ing kicks. A lot of it is being in the
right place at the right time."
Slaughter says it's a dream of his
to play in the professional ranks,
whatever league that may be.
"Coming out of Division II, you
can have all of the stats and num-
bers, but people wonder if you can
play at that (pro) level," says
Slaughter, who was tested by the
Pittsburgh Steelers last spring.
"Things are much faster and the
guys are much bigger and
stronger. I've been playing the
game my whole life. I'll just have
to adjust and adapt to it."
Until that time comes, Alvin still
has some business to take care of
at Clarion. Far from the sight of
Bobby Bowden and far from the
memory of Steve Spurrier,
Slaughter wants to end his career
at Clarion with a bang.
Clarion fans may want to get to
Memorial Stadium for Slaughter's
four remaining home games, as
Alvin promises to have plenty in
store for the CUP faithful.
"I try to give the fans something
to look forward to," says Alvin.
"When we score they're scream-

Clarion University's Council of
Trustees approved a $53,325,100
budget for the 1998-1999 fiscal
year Sept. 17 in Oil City.
The budget has increased a total
of $1.4 million from $51,886,600
last fiscal year.
Now that the budget has been
approved by the Trustees, it will
be submitted to the State System
of Higher Education (SSHE) to
the Office of the Vice Chancellor
for Finance and Administration,
Wayne G. Failor.
A budget workshop was held
prior to the Trustees meeting in
order to explain the
process.

OPINION

"In more modern
times, the media was
almost entirely
responsible for the
collapse of support..."
John Gerow
"News Media-Gatekeeper of
the Debate or Agent of
Propaganda?"
Modern Americans rely almost
solely on the mass media for
news and information from out-
side their local communities. If
one considers the sheer magni-
tude of the country, there can be
no other way. Besides merely
delivering the news, the media, to
a large degree, determines what
issues should be important to the
American people. Scholars note
this as being the "Gatekeeper of
the Public Debate."
But there are media and culture
critics who suggest that the
media does more than just deter-
mine the debate. These scholars
argue that the media sets Hie pub-
lic agenda, and then persuades
the public of the correct stand to
take on these issues. One might
suggest that the news media is an
"Agent of Propaganda," rather
than a "Gatekeeper of the Public
Debate."
There is a tendency to naively
believe that this is a news phe-
nomenon. An objective look at
history and the role of the media
would tend to suggest that it is
now not new. Even before we
were a nation, the print media
focused attention on the per-
ceived repression by the British
crown, fermenting revolutionary
zeal,where little had existed
before.
In the decade before our Civil
War, many of the northern news-
papers dedicated themselves to
the abolition of slavery. People
living in the North had no contact
with the "peculiar institution" of
slavery except through the
media, including extremely emo-
tional books like Uncle Tom's
Cabin. Southerners, assaulted by
the inflammatory rhetoric in the
northern press, became irra-
tionally defensive. The real issue
was the 10th Amendment and the
rights of states to self-govern-
ment. The abolitionist press
primed the nation for an almost
holy crusade, either for or against
slavery.
In more modem times, the
media was almost entirely
responsible for the collapse of
support for the American war
effort in Vietnam. In this case, it
was television more than news-
papers that contributed to the
change in public mood. The
evening news brought the horror
of war right into the American
living room. Media attention to
segregation and the reality of
blacks in America was instru-
mental in the momentum and
achievements of the civil rights
movement.
Today's issues and concerns are
also developed by the media.
Issues such as global warming,
economic globalization, and gay
rights have litde direct impact on
the average American. Yet there
is constant media attention for
these, and other, "politically cor-
rect" issues. The news media are
actively, for whatever reason,
turning the public's attention
away from one group of issues
and toward another.
As responsible citizens, we
must be constantly aware of the
media's ability to manipulate the
debate. We must be well enough
informed to understand when
issues are truly important and
when they are issues on someone
else's agenda. Real and relevant
issues, issues that directly affect
the well-being of Americans, fair
and honestly presented, would
prove the social value of the
"Gatekeeper" role for the media.
Emphasis on non-issues, or on
issues that do not direcUy effect
the average citizen, suggest that
the media is functioning as an
agent of propaganda. A well
informed and well-educated pop-
ulace must be able to distinguish
between the two and act accord-
ingly.

Danielle Hock, Advertising Sales
As I sat in class today, my pro-
fessor made a quote that will
stick with me forever. He said,
"one can always get more money,
but one can never get another
day."
That really hit borne, and I
began thinking about how much
the litde things in life really
mean. It is those little things that
I will remember forever. About
three weeks ago, my cousin
called me from Tennessee to say
"hello." She went on to say that
her two-year old son missed me
and kept asking for me.
This was shocking since I hadn't
seen him in six months. This
made my entire day.
A year ago I was working at
The Junior Olympics with Karen
and Tracy from the Chamber of
Commerce, and they brought me
to tears. They introduced me to
the Pirate Parrot. The child in me
took over as I began clapping and
jumping up and down. For the
whole day, nothing brought me
down off of my high.
So what do these two examples
have to do with anything? Well,
as I grow older, I become more
aware of events I had never seen
when I was younger. Although, I
have no children, I can see where
a parent feels unconditional love.
I understand why my mother
used to love receiving homemade
gifts. I understand why my father
would do just about anything for
me.
It is the little things in life that
make you who you are.
Sure, money is nice, but money
can't create the happiness felt
when I found out that I was going
to be introduced to the Pirate
Parrot. It can't compare to the
perma-smile I had while talking
to my baby cousin. Money can't
replace lost time, and it can't
replace quality-time spent with
friends and family.
As you complete this semester,
whether or not you are graduat-
ing, keep in mind that you only
have one life, and it is up to you
how you decide to live it. If you
zero in on all of the negatives,
you will miss out on what really
counts-the little things.

READER RESPONSE
I would publicly like to admonish this organization for promoting
intolerance toward a way of life..."
Dear Editor,
On Monday, September 21,
Koinonia Intervarsity Christian
Fellowship presented Eric Harrah
to speak about how he had sup-
posedly been saved from his
lifestyle as an abortionist and
homosexual, an event that has
proven to be the last straw for
me.
Unable to accept any more
homophobia issuing from
Koinonia and it's speakers, I
would like to publicly admonish
this organization for promoting
intolerance toward a way of life
and a sector of the population
that has taken far too much
oppression. Essentially, I feel
that this fundamentalist Christian
club needs to be reminded of the
need to love one's neighbor and
accept ways of life that are differ-
ent from one's own, and that the
student body needs to know that
religiously-justified bigotry is
still ugly, damaging bigotry.
As many people may remem-
ber, earlier this spring, several of
the Christian groups organized a
Christian conference that fea-
tured several religious work-
shops, including a speech by a
man who claimed to have been
cured from AIDS and of his "sin-
ful" gay lifestyle by the influence
of God. Not only did he associate
the gay lifestyle with rape in his
speech (claiming that he first
developed homosexual desires
while being molested by another
male,) but with gay prostitution,
promiscuity, drug use, contrac-
tion of the AIDS virus, and gen-
eral spiritual decadence, qualities
that are no more universal to the
homosexual lifestyle than they
are to the heterosexual lifestyle.
But, of course, the influence of
Christianity and the love of the
right woman supposedly "cured"
him of his homosexuality, which
only served to reinforce the
stereotype that people are gay or
lesbian because they are spiritu-
ally corrupt.
Although a few friends and I
who attended the speech doubted
the man's honesty, given that his
conversation story had too many
contradictions to be believeable,
I was still angered by the way he
described the homosexual
lifestyle in such overly negative
and unrealistic terms. Most
homosexual people do not live

lifestyles of rampant promiscuity,
drug use, or prostitution-no more
than the majority of heterosexu-
als-and they often find solid love
and companionship in monoga-
mous relationships. Apparently,
last spring's speaker was
unaware of this knowledge or
deliberately chose to ignore it.
This was my first real taste of
the Koinonia-rooted homophobia
on campus, and just when I
thought it would be my last, I dis-
covered that Koinonia had invit-
ed Eric Harrah, a supposedly
reformed homosexual and abor-
tionist, to speak. I was angered
by Harrah's biased opinions of
the abortion industry. But what
angered me even more was how
he instructed the audience to deal
with homosexuals who they
know. He agreed with boycotting
Disney movies because they
sponsored employee "Gay Days"
at their theme parks. Finally, he
had reinforced the audience's
stereotypes by claiming that he
had been a drag queen.
My main criticism of Koinonia
is that they have shown such a
negative one-sided view of the
gay and lesbian community. I
have talked to many homosexual
people and found that they have
the same capacity for love, com-
panionship, and spiritual under-
standing as we heterosexuals do.
They have the same loves, fears,
ambitions, and quirks as we do,
making them just as human and
worthy of respect and tolerance
as any member of the human
race. I am sick and tired of seeing
religious fundamentalists on
campus wearing t-shirts with slo-
gans like "Don't come out of the
closet. Stay in and clean it up!"
(And you know who you are.
Koinonia, leave these people
alone! If you wish to believe that
homosexuality is a sin, fine! You
are fully entitled to your opinion,
but you do not have the right to
publicly condemn their way of
life and, in the process, promote
what is plain and simple bigotry.
Please, in the name of unity and
tolerance, stop glorifying Christ
and start emulating him, and try
to accept the homosexual people
for who they are and who they
love.
Sincerely,
Angeline J. Binick

READER RESPONSE
This situation is really disturbing, not only to
me,but to others as well."
♦Please note that this Letter to
the Editor was written last semes-
ter and due to space was not pub-
lished until now 4 '
Dear Editor,
Hello, my name is Laura
McNally, and I am a freshman
communication major. I guess
that you could say that I have a
gripe to voice. Recently, I was at
the cafeteria (good old
Chandler), and I noticed that
there was a cockroach crawling
around in the beverage area. The
next day, there was the same type
of bug in a food container at the
salad bar.
Obviously, there are many
problems that go along with a sit-
uation like this. Not only is it
absolutely disgusting.but it is
unhealthy. You would be sur-
prised as to how much someone
could be at a health risk by just
being in contact with cockroach-
es. Perhaps if someone took the
initiative to solve this, less peo-
ple on campus would be sick. We
all know that cockroaches carry
several diseases.
We have all heard the phrase,
"where there is one, there are
many," when it comes to these
crawling critters. We are also all
aware of the fact that where there
is food.there are bugs. However,
there is an easy solution to this! If
the people at Chandler and
Gemmell Snack Bar invested in
food covers, perhaps this would
eliminate actual contact with the
food from the bugs. Granted, it
may be an expensive hassle, but I
would rather the money be spent
than eat food in which cock-
roaches have played.
This situation is really disturb-
ing, not only to me, but to other
students as well. Other people,
including myself, have filled out
comment forms in the cafeteria
regarding this situation. The peo-
ple at Chandler do not seem very
eager to assess this problem.
Perhaps if the Health Department
was notified, they would be more
willing to cooperate.
Sincerely,
Laura McNally

Students deal with balancing homework and a job
by Christine Tatum
Courtesy of College Press
Service.
Claire Weingarden, a sopho-
more at Syracuse University,
doesn't want the responsibilities
of a part-time job while in col-
lege. Her parents also discourage
the idea, hoping that a scholar-
ship, federal loan, and the money
she saves from summer jobs will
cover most of her expenses.
While many of her friends work
odd jobs to make ends meet,
Weingarden, a journalism major,
writes for the newspaper and a
national collegiate news service.
"I think at the very beginning it
would have been especially
stressful to have had a job," she
said.
On the other hand, Marcus
Bischel, a sophomore at the
University of Missouri, needed to
find work soon after arriving on
campus. He landed a clerical
position, working ten to twelve
hours a week in the university's
alumni center, to help his parents
cover the costs of tuition and
spending money. The job never
got in "the way of studies, he said.
"I also learned how to type bet-
ter," Bishel added. " I have orga-
nizational skills, and I know how
to interact in a business setting-
something I was clueless about
before."
Despite choosing different
paths, Weingarden and Bischel
have struck a healthy balance
between work and study that
eludes many students, said
Jacqueline E. King, director of
federal policy analysis at the
American Council on Education.
According to ACE, eight out of
ten students work while pursuing
an undergraduate degree. Full-
time employees who also attend
college-primarily an older crowd
enrolled in school part-time make
up about a third of working
undergraduates. The other two-
thirds of the working undergrad-
uate population are under the age
of 24, enrolled in school full time
and toiling an average of 25
hours a week.
It's the younger crowd King
especially worries about. Their
primary reason for working so
hard outside of the classroom is
admirable: they want to avoid
borrowing student loans or at
least reduce the need for them. Of
students attending public, four-
year institutions in 1995-96, the
ACE reported that 40 percent did
not borrow any money for school
but worked 15 hours or more a
week.
At the same time, many of those
students harmed their chances for
academic success and, ironically,
also increased their student loan
debt, King said.
"A lot of research has shown
that students who work 15 hours
a week or less actually do better
in school than those who don't,"
she said. "They leam a variety of
skills including time manage-
ment, make friends, and feel con-
nected to campus quickly.
"But working while in school
turns into a big negative for most
students when they get above 15
to 20 hours a week," she added.
"Their grades suffer or they wind
up dropping (academic) hours,
thinking that working more will
help them pay for school. What
they don't seem to realize is that
the longer they stay in school, the
more money they may have to
borrow. There's also an opportu-
nity cost in terms of the higher
income students could have had
sooner if they had only dropped
some of their work hours, come
up with a borrowing strategy,
persisted and finished school as
soon as possible."
The bottom line, King said, is
that it's better to borrow reason-
able amounts than to work long
hours.
"Borrowing doesn't seem to
have a negative impact on stu-
dents' ability to finish college or
their academic success," she said.
"In fact, they're just as likely to
graduate as those students who
don't (borrow money from
school). And students who
default on their loans are almost
exclusively those who failed to
graduate.
"I am not suggesting that every-
one run out and apply for student
loans, " she continued. "But I am
saying that students and their par-
ents need to come up with a strat-
egy that makes sense right from
the very beginning."
Decisions about whether stu-
dents should work while enrolled
are highly personal and individ- •
ual, university officials say. But
most agree that for those who
choose to work, jobs on campus
and school work-study programs
are more student-friendly than
off-campus opportunities. It's
also wise, school officials say, for
parents to closely monitor their
child's credit-card spending, or
discourage them from even hav-
ing one.
"Many students wouldn't even
be working if it weren't for their
credit card debt," said Anna
Griswold, assistant vice provost
for student aid at Pennsylvania
State University. "But that is
another story all together."

Students concerned about upcoming
renovations to Chandler Dining Hall
by Mark Strieker
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Preliminary work has begun on
the renovation of Chandler Dining
Hall.
Two bathrooms are currently
being renovated and the large
windows on the Ralston side of
the hall have been bricked over in
preparation for next semester's
dining hall renovation.
Students frequenting the dining
hall received a memo detailing
changes for next semester. Only
two of the existing food lines will
be open and the only entrance to
the building will be from the
Ballentine side.
Dr. George Curtis, Vice
President for Student Affairs, said
the break between fall and spring
semester is really the only break
long enough for necessary demo-
lition to occur. The wall currently
separating the food lines will be
removed to allow for wraparound
food court stations.
Curtis said the project should be
complete in time for 1999 sum-
mer programs. He also said that

two existing lines, Chartwells will

proposal which stemmed from a
partnership with an architectural
construction and design firm out
of Baltimore. DAKA's parent
company was acquired by

sion for elementary schools and
colleges.
Bonny Spence, chair of the
Student Senate dining committee,
said, "some students are wary" of
the renovation.
Jeffrey Ahlberg, a freshman
music education major, said, "It's
going to take half an hour to get in
(to the dining hall)."
Susan Opat, a sophomore early

said, "It will be very inconvenient
because it will be time-consuming

around noon time."

Faculty Senate votes to appoint Nair to committee
by Angela Everly
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Dr. Donald Nair of Counseling
Services was named to the
Faculty Senate Committee on
Academic Standards at Monday's
meeting, despite concerns from
several members.
Senate voted 11-7-4 to appoint
Nair to that committee, which
advises Faculty Senate on matters
relating to academic achievement,
grading systems, standards of
scholarship, graduation, and terms
and conditions of academic pro-
bation and reinstatment.
According to the bylaws, the
Committee on Academic
Standards also has the authority to
act on individual problems of
admissions, readmission, and
reinstatement referred to it by the
Office of the Vice President for
Academic Affairs, faculty mem-
bers or students.
During their Sept. 14 meeting,
Senate voted to table Nair's
appointment to the committee
pending further discussion.
Discussion Monday focused pri-
marily on ethical and profession-
alism of any counselor or faculty
member serving on a committee
that could potentially make any
student feel uncomfortable.
Certain members of Faculty
Senate were not convinced that
having a counselor serve on the
committee was appropriate, which
brought Dr. Mary Jo Reef, chair,
to call for the vote.
Although the controversial think
tank report conducted by the
Commonwealth Foundation in
Harrisburg has been pushed to the
back burner for now, it has not
gone unnoticed by Clarion
University's faculty. President
Diane Reinhard told Senate she
will be meeting with the General
Education Committee to discuss
the report further.
In the report, it implies that the
State System of Higher Education
(SSHE) universities along with
Penn State, Temple, Lincoln, and
the University of Pittsburgh are
"failing to provide Pennsylvania
students with the fundamentals of
a college education."
In other business, Dr. Elizabeth
McDaniel, chair of the Committee
on Courses and Programs of
Study (CCPS), recommended and
was granted approval of two new
classes. The classes are BIOL
175: Conservation and Box Turtle
Biology and BIOL 224: Human
Biology. McDaniel said that these
classes will be added to the
General Education roster.
Dr. Hallie Savage, Chair of
Faculty Affairs, reported on
Clarion University's new Faculty
Mentoring Program. She said this
program gives new faculty mem-
bers a chance to pair up with a
senior faculty member and get
acquainted with available
resources and professional devel-
opment.

At Monday nights Student Senate meeting
Money on hold for CSA 50th
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
A motion to allocate $5,500 to
the Clarion Students Association
(CSA) 50th Anniversary Planning
Committee came under fire at
Monday night's Student Senate
meeting.
Senate vice president Nathan
Rearick, the chair of the planning
committee, approached his col-
leagues for the funding in order to
finish making plans for the CS A's
50th anniversary celebration,
scheduled for Oct. 9-11.
In particular, the funds request-
ed from the supplemental reserve
account were to be used to pur-
chase food for a barbecue at the
Moore Hall lawn on Sunday, Oct.
11.
Questions were raised when
Senate treasurer Leslie Suhr,
moved to allocate the funds with
the stipulation that they be used
only if the barbecue is open to all
students.
Jolina Giaramita/Ciarion Call
Student Senate met Monday night to discuss several
issues, most importantly the changes in the parking
situation. Senate also allocated funds during the meeting,
as well.
Rearick responded that if the
event was open to the student
body, it would be "almost impos-
sible" to provide food for every-
one. To that note, Suhr fired back
that of the many letters that were
16-1-0 to table that motion until
Oct. 5.
In other business, Clarion
University president Diane
Reinbard spoke to Senate and
welcomed the new members. She
sent to former Senators, only four also addressed the parking prob-
responses were received. lem that was only exacerbated by
Senator Mellon moved that the the closing of Parking Lot B on
motion be tabled until the next Monday morning,
meeting and Senate agreed, voting Several Senators inquired about
the Student Recreation Center
construction plans and offered
possible ideas as to how to allevi-
ate the parking situation.
Reinhard said that the construc-
tion of the new Rec Center will
enable the University to better
compete with other schools in the
State System of Higher Education
(SSHE).
Provost/Vice President for
Academic Affairs Dr. John Kuhn
also spoke to Senate, asking them
to look over a proposed academic
calendar for 2000-2001. He
encouraged Senate to look at
making possible changes to the
calendar, such as shortening the
time period between fall and
spring semesters as well as possi-
bly combining the two breaks that
occur during the spring semester.
Another topic of concern for
Kuhn was the summer class
schedule. He noted that other
schools run courses on different
schedules. Clarion University's
current summer classes run on a
3-week pre-session and two five
week sessions.
Kuhn added that suggestions will
be taken regarding changing the
summer schedule to two sessions,
one three- week and one six week,
or three sessions, a three-week, a
five-week, and another three-
week session to round out the
summer.
Senators Augustine, Hussain,
and Chervenak decided to meet
sometime this week to look over
the calendar draft and offer more
feedback to Dr. Kuhn at next
week's meeting.
Finally, the Clarion University
Cheerleaders were allocated
$2,850 from the capital account in
order for them to purchase a new
inflatable Golden Eagle mascot.
Both Nick Chervenak and cheer-
leading sponsor Jamie Bero-
Johnson were on hand to answer
Senate questions about the alloca-
tion.
They said the new mascot "will
benefit all Clarion students."
Trustees approve $53 million budget

academic year.
"We accomplished the budget
reductions through the elimina-
tion of vacant regular positions
and temporary positions whenev-
er possible," she said.
"We have also started the real-
location of funds from personnel
compensation to the operating
budget so that by the end of a
five-year period the personnel
compensation amount will equal
80 percent of the budget or less."
Out of the $53.3 million operat-
ing budget, 53.81 percent will be
used for instructional activities,
0.27 percent will go to public ser-
vice, 10.27 percent will go to aca-
demic support, 9.02 percent has
been allocated for student ser-
vices, 14.2 percent is earmarked
for institutional administration,
11.05 percent will be used for
physical plant operations, and
1.39 percent for scholarships and
fellowships.
Also, president Diane Reinhard
said that CU is moving ahead with
new budget planning, showing a
more multi-year process.
She added that a special budget
issues paper is in the works to be
distributed to the University com-
munity concerning budget back-
ground as well as long-term bud-
geting needs.
Some of the goals in preparing
the 1998-99 fiscal year University
operating budget were: develop-
ing a balanced budget; increasing
funding for University operating
budgets by the rate of inflation
(3.0 percent) since funding has
not kept pace with costs.
Other goals in preparing the
budget were reducing personnel
versus operating budgets to meet
the required budget reductions
given the need to increase operat-
ing budgets long term and provid-
ing funds required to meet new
technology demands.

'Safe schools' discussed at
summit downlink held at CU
by Mike Markewinski
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Helping local school adminis-
trators and educators combat the
issue of school violence was the
focus of the Safe Schools Summit
Downlink, held last week on
Clarion University's campus.
Pennsylvania governor Tom
Ridge was one of the participants
in the summit, which consisted of
the satellite downlink and a fol-
low-up discussion to the program.
Ridge delivered a powerful
statement on the problem of
school violence when describing
the problem of school violence.
"Violence is not simply a prob-
lem found in our large and urban
schools; it exists in all schools
throughout our state," he said.
"Last year, the Pennsylvania
Commission on Crime and
Delinquency surveyed sixth, sev-
enth, ninth and twelfth-grade stu-
dents about topics such as alcohol
and drug consumption and vio-
lence. The PCCS found that
almost half of the students sur-
veyed were involved in a physical
fight during the past year."
Ridge added, "Sadly, one out of
12 students carried a weapon to
school at least once in the year
before the survey."
One goal of Uie Safe Schools
Summit was to heighten aware-
ness among local leaders regard-
ing the important intervention
strategies aimed at reducing youth
violence.
Dr. William Kaufman, superin-
tendent for the Clarion Area
School District, said, "In the past
we ignored the idle threats caused
by frustration, but now we take
them seriously."
The summit provided ways to
educators ways to combat the
problem by demonstrating how
programs developed in certain
troubled areas of Pennsylvania
have combatted or have managed
to help control violence in
schools.
The Wilkinsburg School District
in Allegheny County has devel-
oped a program entitled
"Communities that Care" which
evolved through the leadership of
the CTC thtough the Hosanna
House, an established outreach
center located near the center of
Wilkinsburg.
As a result of the program's
implementation, the school
increased its attendance by 25
percent and helped to establish a
supportive relationship with at
least 50 middle school children
with achievements and behavioral
indicators of risk.
The program also incorporates
members of the community and
75 volunteers from the University
of Pittsburgh education depart-
ment to work with troubled
youths to prevent incidents like
the shooting of a teacher in
Edinboro last spring.
During the local portion of the
summit, educators from the sur-
rounding schools collaborated and
held a panel discussion on the
issue.
Questions were raised about
what causes violence. While a
majority of the panelists blamed
the lack of time parents are home
with their children or the time
children spend home alone, Dr.
Kaufman blamed the decline of
society by not intilling common
courtesy in children either in the
home or in the learning environ-
ment.
James Howell, director of the
International Society of Crime
Prevention Practicioners, has also
discussed this issue. "Television

SSHE gives universities the power
to reduce distance education credits
by Elisabeth Navarra
Clarion Call News Writer
The State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) has given
Clarion University the power to
reduce the tuition rate for all dis-
tance education classes.
As of now, the University has
yet to put that power into use.
In early July, the SSHE Board of
Governors said that all 14 state-
owned universities can reduce the
tuition on distance education
classes. According to Dr. Arthur
Acton, dean of Clarion
University's Venango campus in
Oil City, "As of the moment, all
classes are at the same rate (as last
academic year)."
Distance education classes are
conducted through interactive
video. They are classes in which
the students and instructor are not
in the same location while the
class is being conducted. "It's a
real time interaction," Acton said.
The classes involved the use of
videotape, cable television or cor-
respondence courses.
The motive behind offering dis-
tance education classes, Acton
said, is to "offer classes at remote
locations where we couldn't
afford to send an instructor."
Right now, there are 10 courses
being offered with five more
added in the spring. Last year,
approximately 400 Clarion stu-
dents were enrolled in distance
education classes.
Currently, the students enrolled
in these classes pay the same per-
credit rate as students that attend
classes on campus. Pennsylvania
residents pay $144 per credit for
all undergraduate courses. They
pay $193 per credit for graduate
courses. All non-Pennsylvania
residents pay $368 a credit for
undergraduate courses and $346
for graduate courses.
Rates for nonresidents could
change if the new policy is adopt-
ed. They could pay as little as
$147 a credit for some classes.
The policy also allows university
presidents to make a proposal to
SSHE Chancellor James H.
McCormick in which rates for
Pennsylvania residents could be
lowered for some classes.
The reason for adopting the new
policy is simple. "As the oppor-
tunities for distance education
continue to expand, we want our
institutions to be able to success-
fully compete for students,"
McCormick said.
Dr. Acton said that the policy
"enables us to compete more
effectively with other universi-
ties."
In order to reduce the tuition rate
for some of the distance education
classes, a request would have to
come from the distance education
department itself.
According to Vice President for
Finance and Administration Dr.
Heather Haberaecker, "We would
have to have a specific request
made through Art Acton (director
of the distance education pro-
gram."
No proposal has come out of the
department thus far.

New radiological sciences
degree being offered at
Venango campus
by Elisabeth Navarra
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Starting this fall, students at
Clarion University have another
career opportunity from which to
choose.
The newest degree added to the
curriculum at Venango campus is
one in radiological sciences.
An agreement was made
between the Venango campus and
Northwest Medical Center and
agreed upon in March by the
Clarion University Council of
Trustees. The State System of
Higher Education (SSHE) Board
of Governors gave their approval
to the new program back in April.
According to information from
University Relations, radiological
sciences is a four-year program
that requires 68 credits in general
education courses, along with 60
credits of clinical radiological
work. That work must be com-
pleted at the Northwest Medical
Center School of Radiological
Technology, which is accredited
by the Joint Review Committee
on Educational Programs in
Radiological Technology
(JRCERT).
The program will be imple-
mented in the University's depart-
ments of nursing and biology,
with most of the courses being
offered at the Venango campus
because it is near Northwest
Medical Center.
Dr. Terry Morrow of the biolo-
gy department said, "The biology
department was glad to be a part
of the program and we are hope-
ful it will be a good, productive
program for the University."
He said most of the students
currently enrolled in the program
are at the Venango campus, but
that the departments at main cam-
pus are prepared to teach students
if needed.
The release from the relations
office also states that most of the
cost for implementing this pro-
gram will fall on the Medical
Center or other participating
health facilities which will pro-
vide the medical and radiological
services, as well as any faculty.
Additional sections of general
education courses may be needed
to accommodate this program,
depending upon the number of
students who are enrolled.
Studies have shown that the
radiological sciences field has a
great opportunity for growth
throughout this decade. A 1993
study conducted by the Hospital
Council of Western Pennsylvania
showed that radiological technol-
ogy ranked fourth in the number
of full-time positions.
Results of the State Plan for
Vocational and . Applied
Technology Education later
backed up those findings. That
report identified radiological
technology as having a projected
growth rate of 44.4% during the
1990's.

MLK Speaker Series begins
Civil Rights author
opens 'Eyes' in Clarion
by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call
Assistant Managing Editor
Juan Williams, one of the best
known journalists in America,
was the opening speaker for the
1998-99 Martin Luther King, Jr.
Committee Speaker Series which
started Tuesday, September 29,
1998.
Williams is the author "Eyes on
the Prize: America's Civil Rights
Years 1954-1965." In his book,
Williams dares to examine the
black and white world of politics
and race relations in America.
Williams has been with The
Washington Post for 16 years as
an editorial writer, columnist, and
White House correspondent. He
is a guest commentator for CNN's
"Crossfire" and ABC's
"Nightline."
Currently he is under commis-
sion to write the authorized biog-
raphy of the recently retired
Supreme Court Justice Thurgood
Marshall.
Tuesday's event was opened by
Mr. Rogers Laugand, Director of
Minority Student Services at
Clarion University. He stressed
the importance of recognizing the
diversity among student leaders
and encouraged students to partic-
ipate actively.
Alvin Slaughter, a senior
Communications major, was rec-
ognized with the Minority Student
of the Month award.
At Tuesday's series, Williams
spoke about the historical aspects
of the Civil Rights Movement and
related it to the present in which
students need to demonstrate
leadership qualities to promote
racial relations.
"Class plays into the racial divi-
sion and puts strains on you and
the leadership of the country,"
Williams said.

New class makes students
multimedia designers
by Wendy Stivers
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Students in Dr. Susan Hilton's
interactive multimedia class have
an enormous task at hand.
They have been selected by the
Oil City Heritage Region to design
and build a touch-screen informa-
tional kiosk system as an economic
development tool.
According to Marilyn Black of the
Heritage Region, "The system will
enable tourists and residents to find
out information, past and present,
about surrounding areas and the oil
heritage system,"
The Oil Heritage Region will use
these indoor kiosk systems to help
tourists and local individuals get
news and knowledge of the area,
Black said.
The kiosks will be a multimedia
format as opposed to one that just
provides print information like
brochures. The reason for using the
multimedia design, Black said,
would be used to enable the com-
munity to find all of the information
possible involving a particular sub-
ject. The subjects include every-
thing from lodging and recreation
to historical sites, calendar events
and museums.
Dr. Hilton's class hopes to be able
Now that you've had a
to show the beauty of the region
and satisfy the communities by dis-
playing an actual representation of
what the region is and looks like.
They will use as many visual and
sound effects as possible to show
everything that the Oil Heritage
Region has to offer.
"The class also hopes to reach out
to as many people as possible but
specifically people who are more
interested in outdoor recreation and
ones that are more historically
involved," Hilton said.
"This is something I am very
interested in," said Kelly Palma,
one of the students in the class.
"We are the guinea pigs for this and
if the project goes well, then this
could be the prototype for all of the
historical regions of
Pennsylvania... the start of some-
thing very big."
Another student, Charlie Desch,
added, "I feel that this class will
offer me the knowledge needed to
impress potential employers while
enjoying state-of-the-art facilities."
Because of this project, the stu-
dents were granted the use of a new
design studio that is located in
Marwick-Boyd Fine Arts Building.
Those in the class also will receive
a copy of the actual program on
CD-ROM.

Dave Coleman treats Clarion to a romatic night out
'Dating Doctor' cures Clarion
by Lori Imbroglio
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Have you ever wondered why
men never call when they say
they will or why women always
go to the restroom in groups?
Perhaps you are repeatedly dis-
satisfied with your relationships
and do not understand why you
continue to move from one disas-
trous relationship to the next?
Whatever the case may be,
"Dating Doctor" David Coleman
may be the man to turn to for
explanations and suggestions
concerning this modern-day phe-
nomenon called dating.
In an effort to improve people's
social skills and enhance their
understanding of relationships,
Coleman presented a "Creative
Dating" program free to all
Clarion students. In mis UAB
event, he provided a wide variety
of dating suggestions, explana-
tions of puzzling behaviors of the
opposite sex, and ways people
can better understand them-
selves.
By using candy as a reward,
Coleman was able to entice the
audience to discuss with one
another and address their ques-
Dave Coleman
tions and comments.
As nearly one hundred students
filed into the Gemmell Multi-
purpose Room, they were hand-
ed cards in which they wrote
their ideal fantasy date along
with the worst pick-up line ever
used on them. Throughout the
program, many of these cards
were read as the audience roared
in laughter. Fantasies included
people ranging from firemen to
famous television stars such as
Xena the Warrior Princess.
Coleman had students test their
acceptance of criticism by hav-
ing audience members air their
complaints. In the two-minute
time frame the criticized individ-
uals were restricted from any
form of communication.
George Groff/Clarion Call
Dave Coleman interacts with students at his Creative
Dating seminar.
Once understanding between
people is achieved, Coleman sug-
gests that they become more
advanced in their dating skills.
To answer the question as to why
people repeat poor relationships,
he agrees with Richard Doyle in
that "We seek out what is familiar
to us, and we practice what we
become good at." He informed
the audience that people are crea-
tures of their own habit and are
comfortable around that which
they are accustomed to.
Other topics of Coleman's pro-
gram included unique dating sug-
gestions such as going to a
stranger's wedding (he's actually
done this), and ways to impress
men or women. Be yourself.
Along with performing at over
1,500 campuses, Coleman has
written top-selling books includ-
ing his most recent release 101
Great Dates. He also writes a
weekly syndicated newspaper
and magazine column and has
made several radio and television
appearances.
Coleman has been featured in
many publications such as
Glamour and USA Today and has
been honored the 1997
Outstanding Lecture Entertainer
of the Year by the National
Association for Campus
Activities (NACA). Campus
Activities Today magazine has
twice named Coleman the coun-
try's best lecturer, and he is a
finalist for the 1998 NACA and
Campus Activities Today lecturer
and entertainer of the year.
Coleman uses his own methods
and has been happily married for
the past thirteen years. He
encourages others to become dar-
ing and remember the saying
from Parker Lewis Can 't Lose,
"If you ask them out, they might
go out with you. If you don't ask
them out, they'll never go out '
with you."

Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
The International Festival and

Clarion's Autumn Leaf Festival with
two Pinnacle awards. The Autumn
Leaf Festival won third place in the
Grand Pinnacle category and second
place for Best Overall Merchandising
Program.
After being awarded the grand prize
the Autumn Leaf Festival was also
honored by receiving a front page
story in this past Friday's Wall Street

Clarion Area Chamber of Business
& Industry, the organizer of the event,
Executive Director Karen M. Pope
was among the representatives in
Denver for the Autumn Leaf Festival
Pope stated, 'Tm so overwhelmed,
it's such an honor to be competing
against the big companies." "The
award goes to the whole community,
the university and all the sponsors.
The contest drew 1,200 entries from
121 different event orginizatioas
from around the world. Clarionwas
one of the smallest in relation to the
size of the community and to the size
of the budget, but in spite of of it's
size the Autumn Leaf Festival drew
more people than some of the bigger
festivals. According to Pope, the fes-
tival had an attendance of half a mil-
Hon people last year.
Pope also said that the Pinnacle
awards were a chance to gain world
wide recognition for the community
and the festival, and also a great
chance to gain new ideas and sugges-
tions from other communities.
As for the success of ALP. Pope
said, "It makes you feel good after all
the hours the chamber and volunteers
put into the festival. It makes it feel
worthwhile."

Don't Forget The Ketchup
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist
Where is the American economy
headed? Should we be nervous?
Will the Stock Market crash? Will
we lose our jobs and our life sav-
ings and our homes? Will we ulti-
mately have to ward off starvation
by eating our household pets?
Hold it! Let's calm down! There
is NO reason for that kind of
thinking! Sure, the economy has
been on a "roller coaster" of late,
but let's consider the reassuring
words of Federal Reserve Board
Chairman Alan Greenspan in his
recent speech before the
Association of People Before
Whom Alan Greenspan Gives
Speeches.
"This is merely a temporary
economic slump/ Greenspan stat-
ed, adding, "everybody should get
some dogs."
So there is absolutely nothing to
worry about, except for the eerie
parallels between our current eco-
nomic circumstances and those
surrounding the big Stock Market
crash that led to the Great
Depression:
EERIE PARALLEL NO. 1: The
big Stock Market crash occurred
in 1929. The year that we are cur-
rently in, according to a majority
of leading economists, is 1998.
Both of these years start with
exactly the same two digits, in
exactly the same order.
Coincidence?
EERIE PARALLEL NO. 2:
Alan Greenspan gave exactly the
same speech in 1929.
EERIE PARALLEL NO. 3:
President Lincoln had a secretary
named "Kennedy." President
Kennedy had a secretary named
"Lincoln." Incredibly, neither of
these presidents had an intern
named "Lewinsky."
So perhaps there is, indeed,
cause for alarm. To help us better
understand the situation, let's ana-
lyze the current economic picture
by making up questions and then
answering them:
Q.Why has the U.S. econoy been
so strong in recent years?
A. The key is the software
industry, which employs many
highly educated, well-paid work-
ers to (a) design software and then
(b) try to figure out how come it
doesn't work.
Q. And that makes the
economy strong?
A. No. Software actually
HURTS the economy, because at
any given time two-thirds of the
American work force is on hold

waiting for Technical Support.
What makes the economy strong
is that, while waiting, these work-
ers drink billions of gallons of spe-
cialty coffees costing upwards of
$3.49 per cup. Our LATTE indus-
try alone dwarfs General Motors.
Q. So what's the problem?
A. The problem is Asia, a large
land mass located near Hawaii.
Asia is having a severe currency
crisis caused by the fact that the
Asians suddenly realized that a lot
of their currency has funny names
such as the "bant," the "kip," the
'Yinggit" and the "Vietnamese
currency whose name we can't
print in the newspaper but you
should look it up in the encyclope-
dia and then imagine the endless
stream of hilarious jokes you'd be
making if you were a tourist in
Vietnam."
Q. Why does the Asian eco-
nomic crisis pose such a seri-
ous threat to America?
A. Because Asia is where
TV sets come from.
Q. Can't we just make our
own TV sets?
A. Ha ha! The only person still
alive who remembers anything
about the era when Americans
could actually build a working
television is a 92-year-old retired
Motorola employee named
Horace M. Sneet, who, when
asked recently how to make a TV
set, said, quote, "You need 12 foot
of stout walnut"
Q. Are you going to get many
letters from irate humor-impaired
animal-lovers chastising you for
making a joke about eating dogs?
A. Yes.
Q. What will these letters
say?
A. They will say: "Mr. Barry, I,
personally, am unusually intelli-
gent and therefore capable of real-
izing that you were attempting to
be satirical, but many of your
readers, particularly impression-
able young people, will, as a direct
result of your column, eat their
dogs."
Q. What about this "Year 2000"
Music Review
Sunny Day Real Estate
returns after 3 year hiatus
with a new album
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Assistant
Lifestyles Editor
History has shown that bands
that break up and reunite or
undergo major personnel shifts
have not fared well in the post-
break period. Squeeze was the
quintessential new wave act, but
after a brief hiatus, were nothing
more than a slickly polished pop
band. The Specials invented
two-tone ska, but are considered
a joke nowadays; and not a good
one.
It seems that Sunny Day Real
Estate is the exception to that
rule. After releasing two ground-
breaking and rabidly popular (at
least within the college music
community) albums, singer
Jeremy Enigk found Christianity,
and the other half found Dave
Grohl, and the perfectly average
Foo Fighters were born.
Now Sunny Day has found new
life, and their third disc, How It
Feels To Be Something On, does
not disappoint. The three-year
break seems to have had no effect
on them whatsoever, adverse or
otherwise. True, it is their best
album yet, but that can be attrib-
uted more to the fact that this is
the strongest set of songs they've
had yet. It is rather short, with 10
songs clocking in at 45 minutes,
but that does not stop it from
being a tour de force of emo-core
rock.
As always, Jeremy Enigk is the
centerpiece, with his croaky
voice belting out dejected cou-
plets as the guitars and drums
cascade around him. He doesn't
just demand your attention, he
nearly dares you not to devote
every ounce of your being to
hanging on his every word. His
voice is almost otherworldly; and
it wouldn't be an overstatement
Think you're pregnant?
Worried?

to say that Enigk is one of the
best vocalists the rock world has
seen within the past decade.
Enigk has bis own brand of
depravity, and he hands out the
gloom in generous dollops on
How It Feels... Enigk loves to
churn out lyrics concerning
human relationships, told mostly
with heart-wrenching melan-
choly. He touches ground on
everything from personal depres-
sion to dissipated love and social
rejection. The disc has already
garnered comparisons to
Radiohead, which is not just
hype. How It Feels... sounds
remarkably like The Bends-eta
Radiohead.
Their sound has remained
unchanged from Diary and the
self titled sophomore album, for
the most part. The unrefined gui-
tars, tight rhythms, and minimal-
ist production are still there, but
the noticeable change is that the
arrangements are significantly
more sophisticated. Sunny Day
comes across as much more
resigned here, as the anger is kept
in check. How It Feels... comes
at the song's sketches in the past
tense, with Enigk realizing that
events cannot be changed. It
does make the album a downer,
but also incredibly cathartic.
If anything, Enigk has slid even
deeper into the depths of his tor-
tured self, with his increasingly
morose and somber lyrics. On
"Two Promises", he sings "Long
days caught in his room, trapped
in the gloom of a dying light."
It's an incredibly gothic line, and
representative of the whole
album's tone. Thankfully
though, the monolithic How It
Feels... is not terminally dreary,
as the occasional ray of light
breaks through the overcast sky
of the album.
That's actually a good analogy
for the state of emo-core today,
with many a sub-par band, and
the occasional diamond in the
rough popping up, i.e. Hum,
Sunny Day. ( When you have
pearls like that, though, that's all
you need. On my five star rating
system, How It Feels To Be
Something On gets four.

Late score lifts Eagles past Kutztown
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
Dan Stout caught a 14-yard
touchdown pass from Chris
Weibel with 22 seconds showing
on the clock to lift the Golden
Eagles to a 23-16 win at
Kutztown Saturday.
The win improved Clarion's
record to 2-2 on the season, while
the Golden Bears suffered their
fust loss of the year and stand at
2-1.
The clinching score capped a
seven-play, 63-yard drive that got
underway after Kutztown tied the
score at 16-16 with 2:17 left to
play.
During the drive, Weibel hooked
up with wide receiver Alvin
Slaughter on three occasions to
account for 40 yards.
Although the offense came
through in the waning moments of
the contest, much of the credit for
the win can go to the Golden
Eagle defense. After allowing an
average of 36 points per game in
their first three outings, the Eagle
defense clamped down in the sec-
ond half against Kutztown, allow-
ing only three points.
"We broke it down and they had
13 plays in which they gained 291
yards of their total offense," said
Luke. "They ran 65 plays. So
what that tells us is that defensive-
ly we need to get better at taking

away the big play. In the first half
we gave them the big play, but in
the second half we didn't give
them the big play. That's some-
thing we need to continue to get
better at. The big play is what's
hurting us."
The Bears opened the scoring in
the first period with a 1-yard
touchdown run by Vincent
Jamison. Clarion knotted the
game early in the second quarter
when a Weibel pass found its way
into the hands of Slaughter for a
3-yard strike.
However, that's when Kutztown
came up with a big play to retake
the lead. Running back Emneko
Sweeney darted for a 91 -yard
touchdown to put the hosts ahead
13-7. The conversion would fail,
keeping the margin at six points.
Clarion managed to cut the lead
to 13-10 on a Frank Van Wert field
goal, but not before the Eagles
made a pair of costly mistakes.

George Groff/Clarion Call
The Eagles venture to East Stroudsburg Friday.
By Matt Jolles
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The 1998 volleyball season has
been one of Tips and downs.
However, after two hard losses
to Lock Haven and Edinboro, the
Golden Eagles are only looking
up.
Clarion posted a 20-19 overall
record last season, but it was good
for a 7-3 standing in the PSAC-
West.
"The Western Division is one of
the toughest divisions to play in,
and Clarion is much tougher than
they sometimes look," said
Edinboro head coach Lynn
Theehs.
Led by four senior captains
(Christy Boes, Jaime Mars, Jamie
Soboleski, and 1997 All-
American Tracy Bamett) along
with six returning starters, the
Golden Eagles are looking to con-
tend for the title.
The season took a turn at the
beginning as CUP tried to come
together but dropped two tough
games to Allegheny and Saginaw
Valley, but a 3-1 victory over
Allegheny gave them hope. The
Golden Eagles, only a few hours
after their first victory, would then
lose to Alma, placing them at 1-3.
Clarion opened its home season
Sept. 8 and quickly decided to
make a run at the PSAC title by
knocking off IUP in three straight.
Sporting a hopeful 2-4 record,

Eagles look to ground Rockets at the launching pad
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
October may be less than a week
old, but the 1998 football season
hits full throttle this Saturday
when the Golden Eagles travel to
face Slippery Rock in a battle of
the last two PSAC-West champi-
ons.
The Eagles (2-2) have upset on
their minds against the defending
champion Rockets, who stand at
3-1 and hold the No. 12 spot in
this week's NCAA Division II
poll.
However, Clarion will play the
role of underdog, as Slippery
Rock returns the core of last
year's national quarterfinalist
squad.
"This is the first game in the
PSAC-West," said Clarion head
coach Malen Luke. "If you want
to win your conference you have
to win your conference games.
From that standpoint it's very
important. (A win) could give us
a lot of momentum and an emo-
tional lift."
The Rockets have posted three
convincing wins following a sea-
son-opening 39-10 loss at
Division I-AA South Florida Sept.
J. After falling to South Florida,
which will make the jump to
Division I-A status as a member
of Conference USA in 2001,
Slippery Rock edged West
Virginia Wesleyan, 28-14, before
routing Fairmont State, 52-7, and
East Stroudsburg, 44-9.
At East Stroudsburg Saturday,
the Rockets took advantage of
three Warrior turnovers in the
fourth period to put 24 points on
the board and break open what
was a close game.
The Eagles will be certain to
break out last year's game film in
preparation for SRU. The
Rockets defeated Clarion 28-7
behind the backfield combination
of Rick Magulick and Stan
Kennedy, who combined to rush
for 257 yards. Both are power
runners who would go on to sur-
pass the 1,000-yard mark for the
season.
Malen Luke
Not much has changed in the
Rocket backfield this year, as
Magulick has 346 yards on 62
carries and Kennedy has 283
stripes on 51 totes. Slowing the
Rocket running attack is a must if
the Golden Eagles are to be suc-
cessful.
"It's really no secret what they
want to do," said Luke. "They'll
run the ball and run the ball to get
you geared up to stop the run, then
they'll play-action pass (fake
handoff then pass). Their offen-
sive line is so huge that you have
to commit eight guys to stopping
the run and that leaves you in sin-
gle coverage on their receivers.
For us to have an opportunity, we
have to play well versus the run. I
don't think we can stop them
completely, but we have to con-
tain them."
However, stopping the Rocket
ground game may only be half the
battle for the Golden Eagles, as
sophomore quarterback Randy
McKavish presents a multi-
dimensional threat for defenses.
McKavish, who also plays basket-
ball for the Rockets, was named
the PSAC "Offensive Player of
the Year" as a freshman last sea-
son. This year, McKavish has
completed 28 of 65. passes for 471
yards and six touchdowns. Also a
smart runner, McKavish has 95
rushing yards on 15 tries.
"When the receivers are cov-
ered, he'll pull the ball down and

run around back there," said
Luke. "There are times, too, that
when they call a play-action pass,
he has a run/pass option. Scheme-
wise you have to contain him and
keep him in the pocket.
"We want to be able to force
them to throw more than they
want to, but at the same time we
have to keep (McKavish) inside
the pocket so he can't get outside
and run around. There will be
times when he gets outside of the
pocket and runs. He's a good
player. We just can't let him do
that a lot."
The receiving corps will be led
by flanker Larry Wilson (11
grabs, 167 yards, 3 IDs), H-back
Scott Whipple (7 catches, 99
yards), and wideout DJ. Flick (6
receptions, 161 yards, 3 TDs).
Slippery Rock is also solid on
the defensive side of the ball,
ranking No. 1 in the conference in
scoring defense (17.3 points per
game) while permitting only
268.5 yards per game.
Pre-season All-American Matt
Kinsinger has 15 tackles and three
sacks this season lining up at the
noseguard position.
Working in Clarion's favor this
week will be the strength of past
opponents. Although the Rockets
have lined up with a I-AA team in
South Florida and a quality team
in West Virginia Wesleyan, their
first four opponents don't stack up
to Clarion's early-season opposi-
tion. Clarion has faced defending
I-AA national champion
Youngstown State, PSAC-East
favorite Millersville, WVIAC
champ Shepherd, and Kutztown.
"I hope it's to our advantage that
we've played some better compe-
tition," said Luke. "When they
get some big plays, our kids aren't
going to get down on themselves.
The advantage is that when they
make big plays our kids will be
able to put it to rest and focus on
the next play."
Looking to future opponents, the
Rockets will face No. 2 IUP the
week after they face the Eagles.
Slippery Rock will need to avoid
looking past Clarion.
Those on hand at Slippery
Rock's N. Kerr Thompson
Stadium Saturday are certain to be
treated to a hard-fought game.
Rocket head coach George
Mihalik expects no different.
"We have tremendous respect
for Clarion," said Mihalik. "Our
games have always been hard
fought no matter who's up or
down, and I certainly expect that
same type of game this week.

Clarion Time of Possession
"Clarion's offense can strike at
any time with (Chris) Weibel at
quarterback and with (Alvin)
Slaughter as a receiver or on spe-
cial teams. Weibel has tremen-
dous poise at quarterback.
Defensively, Clarion plays an
aggressive, attacking defense and
tries to create a lot of confusion
and mistakes. We're also really
concerned about Clarion's special
teams. Slaughter can change the
momentum at any time on a punt
or kickoff return. But then you
look at the punt blocks (against
Shepherd) and other ways
Clarion can hurt you and you
know you better be prepared for
anything. For fans who come to
the game, they will certainly see
all three phases of the game this
week."

Runners picking up the pace
Courtesy of
Sports Information
Clarion University cross country
coach Pat Mooney, who has
improved the men's and women's
teams on a yearly basis, is very
happy with the start of the 1998
season.
"We're of to a good start," said
Mooney. 'The team did a great
job of getting their summer
mileage in and it has also shown
in the first two meets. The
women's team has a chance to
place in the top five in the PS ACs,
while the men are hoping to move
up from their lOth-place ending in
1997."
The men's team placed a 10th at
PSACs and 19th at the regionals.
Leading the women's team in
1998 are co-captains Roxanne
Wilson and Maureen Long.
Wilson, a senior, is Clarion's top
runner. She placed 24th at the
PSAC meet last year. She placed
24th at the PSACs with a time of
20:18, then placed 22nd at
Reginals, finishing in 20:08.
Long, meanwhile, placed 38th at
PSACs (20:48) and 57th at
Regionals (21:04).
But the Eagles have six addi-
tional runners who can "run with
the pack" and turn in solid finish-
es every time out. They include
Daria Diaz, Kelly Null, Brigette
Laflin, Kristie Runk, Laurie
Young, and Wendy Kengor.
Diaz was 44th at PSACs (20:52)
in 1997 and 37th at Regionals
(20:38). Null placed 54th at
PSACs (21:15) and Laflin was
43rd at PSACs (20:51) and 70th at
Regionals (21:19).
Already in 1998, the Eagles
were fourth at the Cal Invitational
and won the Slippery Rock
Invitational. Wilson and Null
were 11th and 12th respectively at
Cal, while Null was second,
Laflin third, Long fourth, and
Runk fifth at Slippery Rock.
"We're excited about the 1998
season," said Mooney. "Our team
runs well together and should
have a great season."
The men's team is captained by
Jon Fox. Fox was 79th at PSACs
last year and finished 133rd at
Regionals.
Also ready to run are newcomer
Ean King and veterans John
Copley and Mark Trzyna. King is
a talented freshman, while Copley
ran last year and is looking to step
up. Trzyna placed 63rd at PSACs
and was 157th at Regionals.
Also ready to make strong con-
tributions are John Sherry, Gregg
Wade, Colin McGlone, and Jason
Bochert.
In 1998, Clarion has finished
seventh at the Cal Invitational and
second at Slippery Rock. King
was eighth at Cal (28:58) and Fox
21st with a 29:43 clocking. King
was sixth and Fox seventh at
SRU.
"Our top runners are doing a
quality job thus far," stated
Mooney. "At PSACs and
Regionals, we'll be looking for a
few guys to step up and run then-
best races. If we do that, we can
improve on our lOth-place PSAC
finish from 1997."
NOTES: The women's team is
currently ranked seventh in the
region ... Clarion will host the
PSACs Oct. 31 at Mayfield Golf
Course.
Clarion travels to East Stroudsburg this weekend
continued from page 19
Clarion traveled to Mercyhurst for
matches with conference rival
Lock Haven, Juniata, and host
Mercyhurst. The Golden Eagles
again played with heart, but fell
upon tough times. They ventured
to conference rival California
with a 3-5 record only to be hand-
ed loss number six.
'The girls have the talent and
the ability to win, they just need to
know when to turn it on," says
Clarion head coach Jodi Bums.
"Unfortunately we're doing it too
late in matches."
One week later the Golden
Eagles got it.
The traveled to the University of
CAMPUS REP
Charleston for a two-day event
that featured Wheeling Jesuit,
PSAC rival Edinboro, Queens
College, and Mount Olive.
Clarion jumped to 6-7 by posting
an impressive 3-1 record. The
Golden Eagles outlasted
Wheeling Jesuit (3-2), bowed to
Edinboro (3-0), and then turned
around to hand shutouts to
Queens and Mt. Olive.
"We just did what we had to do,
and that was win," says outside
hitter Ali Graham. "Now we have
to focus on the rest of the season."
However, the Golden Eagles
have had some tough times in the
past two weeks as they have been
defeated by Lock Haven and
Edinboro, falling to 6-9 overall
and 1-3 in the PSAC-West.
"It's too early to decide who is
going to win the division,"' says
senior outside hitter Jaime Mars.
"But we are in a tough spot now
and we have to deal with it."
The Golden Eagles return to
action Friday and Saturday when
they venture to the East
Stroudsburg Tournament, before
visiting Slippery Rock Tuesday.
The Golden Eagles will not play
in Tippin Gym again until Oct. 20
against California.
Clarion's top offensive per-
former last week was Barnett,
who slammed seven spikes
Tuesday against Edinboro. Jamie
Soboleski placed four aces and
assisted 15 points against the
Fighting Scots.

Eagle netters show promise
By Angela Everly
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Slippery Rock overthrew the
Clarion women's tennis team 6-3
Thursday, Oct. 24.
Lori Berk-Sabatose is a former
Clarion netter who has returned
this year to undertake the position
of head women's tennis coach.
With only two returning starters,
a 1-11 record, and two matches
left in the season, Sabatose is
proud of her fall roster. Sabatose
is looking forward to the PSAC
tournament in Erie Oct. 17-18 so
the young team members can
show how much they have
improved and learned this sea-
son.
Against Slippery Rock, senior
co-captain Amy Shaffer and
freshman Bethany Melnick were
each victorious in singles compe-
tition.
In doubles action, junior co-
captain Rachel Link and sopho-
more Kylee Johnson fought to a
victory over the Rockets.
Although the match lasted an
hour and a half, which is slightly
long for a doubles match, aggres-
sive, strong, and consistent play
helped the women achieve victo-
ry. Freshmen LaDonna Dunlevy
and Tracy Heim experienced a
tough loss following a tiebreaker.
Coach Sabatose said the doubles
pair of Dunlevy and Heim
"played great together."
The women's tennis team will
be backhanding again on the
courts of Clarion University
Friday against California and
Tuesday against Gannon.

Eagles bitten by injury bug in win over Bears
continued from page 19
With a fourth-and-goal at the
Kutztown 1, the Eagles were
flagged for a false start.
With less than a minute in the
first half and Kutztown driving,
Clarion safety Brad Geer picked
off a Kutztown pass and raced for
the end zone. However, Geer
coughed the ball up at the Bear 16,
turning the ball over to Kutztown.
In the second half, the Golden
Eagles took advantage of a
Kutztown fumble that was recov-
ered by Clarion's Mike Maguire
on the Bear 14. Seven plays later,
running back Jamie Sickeri
pounded in on a fourth-and-one
situation to give Clarion its first
lead.
The game then turned into a
defensive struggle until late in the
fourth period, when the Eagles
seized the win.
The win didn't come without a
hefty price, however. Comerback
Kervin Charles and center Nick
Swiger were both injured and will
miss time.
Charles, who was hampered
with an ankle injury earlier in the

Golfers fifth
at Edinboro
Fall Shootout
By J. P. Kenney
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Clarion golf team kept up
its solid play this fall with a fifth-
place finish at the Edinboro Fall
Shootout at Culbertson Hills in
Edinboro.
The field was highlighted by a
nationally ranked Allegheny
team that took home first place
with a total of 300.
The Golden Eagles were led by
Shawn Will's 77. Other scores
were J.P. Kenney with a 79, Matt
Honacki (81), Anthony
Tacconelli (82), and freshman
Mark Miller with an 84.
With two tournaments to go,
the fall average of the team is
solid with room for improve-
ment. Shawn Will leads the way
with a 77.3 stroke average, fol-
lowed closely by Tacconelli and
Kenney at 78.3.
Matt Honacki has had a solid
fall and checks in just below 80
at 79.4.
Look for the team to get even
stronger in the last two weeks of
the season.

The Clarion Call
October 1, 1998
By Jason Dambach
Assistant Sports Editor
Talk about jumping directly into
the fire. After splitting four non-
division contests, the Golden
Eagles travel to Slippery Rock
this Saturday to open up their
1998 PSAC-West schedule. The
Rockets are one of several strong
contenders for the PSAC-West
title this year after winning it last
season en route to the NCAA
Division II quarterfinals.
Of course, Clarion is just two
years removed from an NCAA
playoff appearance itself.
However, PSAC coaches don't
seem to feel the Golden Eagles are
a legitimate threat to the PSAC
title. In their preseason poll, the
coaches around the conference
predicted fifth-place finish for
Clarion out of seven teams in the
Western Division.
Certainly, after playing the most
lemanding non-division schedule
of any PSAC-West school, the
Eagles are well-prepared to prove
the coaches wrong.
Let's take a team-by-team look
at the PSAC-West, using the
coaches' poll as the order:
Slippery Rock
Clarion fans still talk about the
lethal running duo of Steve Witte
and Ron DeJidas. Well, the
Rockets, who hold down the No.
12 spot in this week's D-II poll,
are fortunate to have a similar
dynamic duo in senior Rick
Magulick and sophomore Stan
Kennedy. In 1997, both running
backs amassed over 1,100 yards
each. Only Bloomsburg ran for

Board of Student Government Presidents
State System student leaders address parking
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News
Editor
HARRISBURG- Parking was a
concern mentioned by several
members of the Board of Student
Government Presidents (BSGP)
at their first meeting of the acad-
emic year on Saturday, Sept. 26.
The meeting, held at Dixon
University Center, was held pri-
marily as an orientation for the
student government presidents at
all 14 State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) schools, but
several topics were discussed
during the more than three-hour
meeting.
The fourteen student body pres-
idents represent a total of more
than 94,000 students who cur-
rently attend one of the 14 SSHE
institutions.
Clarion isn't the only SSHE
school that is dealing with a
parking problem. Edinboro
University student body presi-
dent David Day mentioned dur-
ing his report that Edinboro has
"many parking and safety
issues."
Slippery Rock student presi-
dent Rashad Kirby also noted
that his university is suffering
from a parking problem. He
mentioned that SRU offers a
student shuttle service to help
alleviate their situation.
At Lock Haven University,
Luke Lorenz said that LHU has
purchased what he called an
"eyesore" near the campus in
order to add 250 more parking
spaces. Meanwhile, E.J.
Gallagher, student body vice
president of Mansfield
University, said that they have
insituted a shuttle service to try
to combat their parking prob-
lem.
At last week's Student Senate
meeting, CU Senate president
Tammi Snyder told the mem-
bers that she plans to contact
several of the presidents and
learn more about shuttle ser-
vices and other plans imple-
mented on other campuses to
tackle parking problems.
In other news, Zack Cattell of
West Chester University, the
new chair of BSGP, told the
group that he has formed an ad
hoc Student-Faculty Relations
Committee on his campus. The
committee is made up of four
students and four faculty mem-
bers. Cattell is a member of the
committee along with two other
students, and he said that one
more student is needed.
The four faculty members
include one representative from
The Association of
Pennsylvania State College and
University Faculties (APSCUF),
the union that represents all of
the SSHE's faculty, one member
from West Chester's Faculty
Senate and two at-large mem-
bers.
The reason behind developing
the committee was to provide a
student "review" process of the
faculty members at West
Chester. "Students get informa-
tion back and they have a say in
faculty relations," he said.
Closer to Clarion, Clarion
Students Association (CSA)
Board of Directors chairman
Michael Chapaloney also spoke
at the meeting, addressing his
desire to meet with the board
chairs of the other 13 SSHE
schools. He provided each of
the presidents with an informa-
tion letter and asked them to

"We also know that
alcohol abuse occurs
at Clarion
University...
»
Dr. Diane Reinhard
As a university president, I
receive a good many letters each
week on a host of issues. One let-
ter I received this summer stood
out. It was from Dr. Charles
Stoddard, Superintendent of the
Orchard Park Central School
District in Orchard Park, New
York, who poignantly described
the tragic and untimely death of a
young man from his district.
Scott Krueger had been an 18
year old scholar, accomplished
athlete, respected leader, and
community servant. He was
loved by his family, community,
church and school. He graduated
from high school on June 28,
1997, and entered the
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology on August 20, 1997.
In an alcohol-induced coma, in a
fraternity house where he lived as
a freshman, Scott died on
September 29, 1997.
Superintendent Stoddard asked
my help in preventing this kind
of senseless loss on our nation's
campuses. He asked me to do
whatever I could to help to
ensure that Clarion University
welcomes students to a kind, sen-
sitive, and caring environment
where neither underage drinking
nor pressures to drink excessive-
ly are tolerated.
Unfortunately, we do not have
to look far to find other examples
of alcohol related deaths of stu-
dents on college and university
campuses. We know that alcohol
abuse is related to academic diffi-
culties, behavioral problems,
property damage and vandalism,
and strained campus-community
relations. We also know that
alcohol abuse occurs at Clarion
University.
Your years here at Clarion are
precious ones. They require too
much time, effort, and resources
to be wasted in careless and dan-
gerous alcohol abuse. As we
begin our week-long celebration
of Autumn Leaf Festival here in
Clarion and throughout the acad-
emic year, let's work together to
ensure that life and learning at
this university are not marred by
alcohol or drug abuse of any
kind.
Dr. Diane L. Reinhard is the
President of Clarion University
of Pennsylvania.

"Even the minute

be extraordinary.
Tom Casey, Business Manager
»
As I look through the eyes of
my nieces and nephews, I realize
that they will live in a computer
dominated society. Growing up a
child in the 1980s, I have seen
many advancements in computer
technology.
Some of these advancements
include Speak-n-Spell, the
mouse, hard discs, and the
Internet. With rapid advance-
ments, there is always something
new to learn, making each gener-
ation more knowledgeable then
the last
In my communication studies at
Clarion University, I've seen cur-
riculum changes due to computer
advancements. For instance, a
course requirement of the com-
munication department is Intro to
Images. This is a course designed
to teach elements of photography
and Internet application. When I
took this course a semester prior
to these requirements, Images
was primarily a photography
class. In the matter of one semes-
ter, I missed out on the Internet
skills, which I would later need to
know. As a freshman, I remember
having to type papers on a blue
screen IBM, and print on a dot
matrix. Even the minute
advancements of computer sys-
tems within a year's time can be
extraordinary.
In future employment, people
will need to adapt to future ideas
and waves of technology to
maintain employment. Will the
days of power lunches and pre-
sentations turn into impersonal
video conferences? Will the mes-
sages we relay in future commu-
nication lose the contextual
meaning we receive from feed-
back and body language through
personal communication? These
are questions we will discover in
future generations?
In the movie Drug Store
Cowboy , the main character
(Matt Dillon) refers to his 1950
predecessors as the "television
babies." This is because the new
generation defined themselves
from what they saw on t.v. I'd
like to think our 1990 predeces-
sors should be coined the "com-
puter babies." With all of the
technological advancements, it

Absolutely. There are many ways

READER RESPONSE
"What is so difficult about finding three
men and three women for this section?"
Dear Editor,
I am very disappointed in The
Clarion Call and its staff's lack
of equality. For the second time,
this semester alone, the "Call On
You" section of the student news-
paper has had all male opinions
with photos.
What is so difficult about find-
ing three women and three men
for this section?
During the third issue of The
Clarion Call, I was most offend-
ed. The question was in reference
to McGwire's 70 home runs this
past season. Only interviewing
men for this response was an
extremely sexist practice assum-
ing that women show no interest
in sports.
There are plenty of female ath-
letes who have been very suc-
cessful on this campus alone, and
you should be embarrassed by
your presumption to suggest oth-
erwise. I expect this to never hap-
pen again.
Democratically yours,
Jennie E. Seigler
Senior
Pol. Science/Women's Studies
Editor's Note: Although our
photography editor asked an
equal number of males and
females to participate, the
females declined.

New COB A and fine arts floors added
Residence halls undergo some changes
by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Residence Life made several
changes to the residence halls at
the start of this semester.
These changes include new
theme floors, new non-smoking
floors, and regular maintenance
work on the buildings.
In Wilkinson Hall, several floors
have been changed to theme
floors. The north wing of the third
and fourth floors have been
changed to College of Business
Administration (COBA) floors.
This floor is designed to help stu-
dents get in contact with faculty
and gain important experience in
their job fields.
Although not everyone on the
floor is a business major, the focus
of the floor is geared toward busi-
ness.
Heather Pirraglia, a resident
assistant on one of the COBA
floors, said that professors from
the College of Business
Administration are more willing
to come to the floor programs and
speak because they know of the
student interest.
Nair Hall now has a fine arts
floor to cater to students with an
artistic interest. This co-ed floor
creates a learning atmosphere for
students with an artistic pursuit.
Ken Rossman, resident assistant
on that floor, said that they have
conducted several programs with
the floor's theme in mind. Some
of the programs include a service
experiment with the local elemen-
tary school where they conduct
short plays and a student-mentor-
ing program with the high school.
Rossman said that soon floor
members will be taking a trip to
Toronto to see "Les Miserables."
On weekends, students who live
on the floor will take trips to more
local sites, such as Heinz Hall in
Pittsburgh.
Rossman said that in the future
he hopes that the floor can work
with the art, music, and theater
departments. "Right now, we're
feeling the water and seeing what
we can do," he added.
Dr. Barry Morris, director of
Residence Life, said the changes
have occurred because of student
surveys. He said that two inter-
ests that topped the students' lists
were arts and academics, which is
why the floors have been
changed.
According to Morris, the sur-
veys have also resulted in many
floors on campus being changed
to non-smoking floors. He said
the students showed a lot of
interest in the non-smoking floors
and he hasn't heard any com-
plaints yet
Some changes done affect all
campus residence halls. All resi-
dence hall offices and labs will be
hooked up to the CNET fiberoptic
cable system sometime this fall.
Also, Clarion University has a
new long distance carrier, ACC, a
subsidiary of AT&T.
Also, regular maintenance work
has also been done on the build-
ings. According to Morris, 200 or
more mattresses have been pur-
chased for the halls. Some halls
have been repainted and new car-
peting will be added to certain
halls over Christmas break.
In the long run, Morris said he
hopes to introduce voice mail,
separate computer lines in the res-
idence halls and possibly, in the
distant future, to build a residence
hall.
Morris said he "wants to make
all living areas attractive to stu-
dents."

also served on the social committee.

great deal of work involved.
Wilshire said, "Being a member of
Student Senate has provided me
with real life experiences in dealing
with the public and co-workers."
McCauliff added, "I accumulated
experience that otherwise I would
have been able to gain."
Chapaloney said, "Students com-

can't change it. I have seen
changes, whether they occur now or

All of the present panelists agreed
that the purpose of being a part of
CSA is "for students to let someone
know how they feel on what is rele-
vant for their eduction, and to let
administration and members know
what is important."
"I still call on the experiences
today," McCauliff said. "I learned
appreciation of government and
myself as an individual and differ-
ent kinds of people,"
"Hopefully, Senate's decisions will
be as rewarding to future Senators
as it has been for me," McCauliff
added.

Changes made to CSA 50th plans
by Danielle Boccio
Clarion Call Staff Writer
If you are a student who was
planning on attending the Clarion
Student Association (CSA)'s 50th
anniversary cookout this Sunday,
try again.
At Monday's Student Senate
meeting, Vice President Nathan
Rearick announced that the event
has been moved to the new
University residence.
Rearick apporoached his col-
leagues at the Sept. 28 meeting to
ask for $5,500 to help fund the
event. After much discussion,
that motion was tabled.
Clarion University President
Diane Reinhard decided to pro-
vide the remainder of the funding
for the event herself, according to
Rearick.
The event will be open only to
current and former Senators.
Originally, the event was to
include the entire campus com-
munity.
When asked why the motion
was not brought up at this week's
meeting, Treasurer Leslie Suhr

Senator Mangieri announced
that he, along with other Senators,
are working on designing a new t-
shirt for Student Senate. Senator
Kemp said that the t-shirt is being
made to "make students aware"
about Senate.
When Vice President Rearick
asked who will get the shirts,
Mangieri said that they may be
made just for Senators or some
may be sold to students.
Finally, President Snyder told
Senate that Dr. Heather
Haberaecker, vice president for
finance and administration, will
be at next week's Senate meeting
to make a presentation on the
Facilities Master Plan.
Snyder noted that the meeting
may be moved from 246 Gemmell
to either Gemmell Multi-purpose
room or Rooms 250/252 Gemmell
because the presentation will be
open to the entire campus.
That meeting has been sched-
uled for 7:30 p.m. on Monday,

chair in the hopes that they could
all meet sometime this academic
year.
He told BSGP that the CSA is an
"ever-changing organization" and
that he is interested in learning
more about how the boards at
other schools are comprised to
look possibly try and establish
some continuity among boards
throughout the State System.
"I hope that a meeting between
the board chairs will result so that
we as students can have a better
understanding of how to make
policies and operate businesses to
best benefit the students,"
Chapaloney said after the meet-
ing.
He also touched upon some
issues that the CSA could benefit
from by holding just such a meet-
ing that is being proposed.
"Some concerns with the CSA
that would benefit from a meeting
of this sort would be the board
makeup and the operation of the
CSA Business Office," he said.
"I would like to see what other
services or businesses in the other
institutions which are working for
their students," Chapaloney
added.
Chancellor James H.
McCormiCk addressed the student
leaders and told them of the
importance of the job they hold.
"This is a critical time for high-
er education," he said.

Clarion Call News Editor
HARRISBURG-Clarion
University's own Student Senate
president Tammi Snyder was
elected parliamentarian for the
Board of Student Government
Presidents (BSGP) at their Sept.
26 meeting.
"Basically, I am responsible for
keeping the order of meetings
and keep track of bylaws," she
said. "I'll make sure the meeting
is in order and the rules are being
followed."
One of her major tasks this year
will be working to make revi-
sions to the BSGP bylaws. "No
revisions have been made to the
bylaws in a while," she noted.
Snyder feels that her work on
the BSGP bylaws will help in the
efforts of the CU Student Senate
and the CSA Board of Directors
to revise their constitution and
bylaws.
There is currently an ad hoc
Bylaw Amendment Committee at
Clarion to begin the revision
process.
Snyder is looking forward to
her year in office, both as Student
Senate president as well as BSGP
parliamentarian.
"I am very honored to be able
to represent Clarion University at
meetings and sit as an officer on
the Board," she said. "I think it's
an amazing thing... 14 members
represent 94,000 students."
Snyder will hold office with
Zachary Cattell of West Chester
University, who was elected to be
Chair. Other officers include
David Day of Edinboro, Vice-
chair, and Luke Lorenz of Lock
Haven, who will serve as
Secretary-Treasurer.
At their next meeting in
Edinboro Nov. 6-8, Snyder said
workshops will be held and legal
personnel will be in attendance to
help the Board begin discussing
their Issue of the Year.
At future meetings, BSGP will
draft a resolution based on the
issue that they decide to tackle.
Snyder said that the majority of
the work on the resolution will
come sometime in February or
April.
"BSGP shows that students do
have a voice or say in what goes
on...we are important," Snyder
said.
"You don't really realize how
important it is until you go and
are a part of it," she added.

College Press Day 1998
"What's Good, What's Bad, What's Legal"
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
Legal questions will be the focus
of the 1998 College Press Day, set
for Friday, Oct. 16 in Gemmell
Student Complex.
For the second annual event,
presented by The Clarion Call, a
number of professors, advisors, and
media professionals have been
invited to the University to present
ideas and answer questions for stu-
dent journalists.
Student journalists from Clarion
University and other schools will
be in attendance for this meeting of
student media.
The theme for this year's gather-
ing is "What's Good, What's Bad,
and What's Legal."
"In just one year, the College
Press Day program has expanded
considerably," said Dr. Arthur
Barlow, associate professor of
communication at CU, national
executive director of the Society
for Collegiate Journalists (SCJ) and
coordinator of College Press Day.
"We are presenting a very solid
academic opportunity for anyone
who chooses to participate," he
added.
This year's keynote speaker,
Michael C. Hiestand, a staff attor-
ney at the Student Press Law
Center, Washington, D.C will be
speaking on "The Student Press
Law Center's Silver Anniversary:
Hold die Champagne."
Many sessions have been sched-
uled throughout the morning and
afternoon, followed by a panel dis-
cussion featuring Clarion graduates
who will discuss ethical issues and
answer questions. A media fair will
follow, giving students a chance to
network with the graduates.
Michael Hiestand: The
keynote speaker for
College Press Day 1998.
"Last year's College Press Day
gave us a firm foundation on which
to build," said Mary Beth Curry,
assistant coordinator, Student Press
Day 1998. "We've expanded the
day by adding two more sessions
and expanding the media fair.
College Press Day marks year two
of a three-year commitment."
"We hope to involve other uni-
versities in next year's planning,"
r he added.
The packed day begins with
opening remarks at 10 a.m., fol-
lowed by Hiestand's keynote
address in Gemmell Multi-purpose
Room. Sessions are scheduled for
the remainder of the morning and
into the afternoon in different
rooms of Gemmell Student
Complex.
The Clarion Call editor in chief
Kristen Davis said there are many
benefits to attending College Press
Day.
"College Press Day is a perfect
time to learn about how your stu-
dent newspaper and runs," she
noted. "This year, you can also
learn how to write the right way
and avoid legality issues in the
process."

More teens drinking to get drunk, report says
by Mark Strieker
Clarion Call Staff Writer
According to a study released
last week by the Harvard School
of Public Health, more college
students are drinking to get drunk.
The study was based on a survey
of 14,521 randomly chosen stu-
dents attending 130 colleges
across the country. The report,
published in the Journal of
American College Health, said
that 52 percent of students drank
to get drunk in 1997, compared
with 39 percent in 1993.
The number of students who
binge drink (five drinks in a row
for men and four in a row for
women) dropped from 44.1 per-
cent in 1993 to 42.7 percent last
year. The number of students who
reported they hadn't had a drink in
a year rose from 15.6 percent to
19 percent.
President Diane Reinhard said,
"The issue of binge drinking
keeps me up at night."
Reinhard said a survey was done
on the Clarion campus in 1995 to
address the issue, and that another
survey will be conducted in the
Spring.
Henry Wechsler, lead author of
the 1993 and 1997 studies, said
"We have to know all the con-
tributing factors to this behavior -
the fraternities, the tradtion sur-
rounding athletics and the sale of
alcohol for dirt cheap in bars and
stores throughout the communi-
ty"
Reinhard said there is only so
much college adminstrators can
do.
She stressed the importance of
student responsibilty and chang-
ing student norms. "Encouraging
people to drink with the kind of
respect for alcohol they need to
have is very important," she said.
Reinhard recently e-mailed a let-
ter to students, encouraging them
to be responsible, especially dur-
ing the Autumn Leaf Festival
week.
Reinhard said drinking at off
campus locations is the biggest
problem and that real alternatives
to alcohol-related parties must be
found. She said the Pennsylvania
Association of Colleges and
Universities will release a report
in January listing anti-binge
drinking practices in place at other
institutions.
Wechsler's studies say four out
of five students binge drink at fra-
ternities and sororities. Student
Senator Mitchell Augustine, who
gives the InterFratemity Council
report at Senate meetings, says
fraternities are "trying to regulate
parties so they don't get out of
hand."

College enrollment
continues to soar
nationally
by Christine latum
College Press Exchange
CHICAGO — More students
than ever are heading to college,
according to a study released
recently by the U.S. Department
of Education.
A record 14.6 million freshmen
enrolled in school this fall — about
240,000 more first-year students
than a year ago.
The booming freshman classes
are directly linked to an increas-
ing number of high school gradu-
ates. Last year, a record-breaking
67 percent of high school seniors
went direcUy to college.
That number is projected to rise
another 17 percent over the next
decade, said Tom Snyder, director
of the department's National
Center for Education Statistics.
"It's very difficult to say exact-
ly what it is that makes up peo-
ple's minds to do things," he said.
"But in this case, many young
people feel that getting a college
education is a really big help
when it comes to finding a good-
paying job. And they're right"
While enrollment of nontradi-
tional students, particularly those
older than 35, is up seven percent,
it's the younger crowd that's dri-
ving the frenzied pace at which
colleges and universities are
expanding their living quarters
and support services.
Schools nationwide, including
Stanford University and the
University of Delaware, are
reporting packed dorms.
Some schools will have to work
hard — perhaps even raise acade-
mic requirements — to control the
wave of students expected to
crash through their doors within
the next 15 years.
The report predicts that 52.7
million children will enroll in
grade school this fall, surpassing
last year's record by about
500,000.
The record-breaking pace is
expected to continue at the ele-
mentary and secondary school
levels for at least the next eight
years, with about 54.3 million
children attending U.S. schools
by 2008.

Clarion University's
enrollment best in the west
by Courtney Spangler
Clarion Call Staff Writer
As reported in earlier editions of
The Clarion Call, Clarion
University's enrollment has
increased five percent over the
last four years.
When comparing CU's enroll-
ment to other schools in the State
System of Higher Education
(SSHE), Clarion is a rarity.
Since the fall of 1995, the
enrollment and retention rates at
Clarion have steadily increased.
In 1994, the number of students
enrolled at all of Clarion's cam-
puses (Clarion main campus,
Venango campus in Oil City, West
Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, and
Clearfield) during the fall term
was 5,637.
In fall 1997, the number of stu-
dents enrolled was 5,948. The
question on the minds of many
students is why Clarion
University's enrollment is
increasing.
"A large part (of the increased
enrollment) is the variety of pro-
grams that can accommodate a
large number of people," said
John Shropshire, Dean of
Enrollment Management.
"(Also), One of the strongest rea-
sons why we are able to attract
more students is having families
visit the campus.
Shropshire said that CU is
known around Pennsylvania in
both the eastern and western parts
as having great ambiance,
scenery, friendly students and fac-
ulty, qualities he said are some-

ever-growing world of secondary
education. "I am happy with our
situation," he said.
According to Shropshire,
Clarion University has the fifth
highest retention rate of students
behind Millersville, Bloomsburg,
Shippensburg and Kutztown, all
located in the eastern half of
Pennsylvania.
Figures from the SSHE say that
California, Edinboro, Mansfield
and Slippery Rock universities
have all seen enrollment
decreased between 1994-1997,
while Indiana University of
Pennsylvania's enrollment has
remained stagnant.
So, why is Clarion's enrollment
on a steady increase?

He noted that the western part of
Pennsylvania has had a decreas-
ing population and economy over
many years. The applicant pool is
not the same as it is the eastern
part of the state, where there are
many prospective students from
the growing area of York,
Lancaster, Berks, and
Montgomery counties.
There are a large number of col-
leges in western Pennsylvania
competing for a smaller amount
of people. "The secret of our suc-
cess is being aggressive,"
Shropshire noted.
"Most students who attend
schools in the State System usual-
ly live within 50 miles of certain
schools. ..we depend on students

Hartle wins Making Life Better Award
by Kelly Palma
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Darlene Hartle, a nurse at
Keeling Health Center, is the lat-
est recipient of the Making Life
Better at Clarion Award.
"I had no idea that I won," she
said. "President Reinhard just
showed up with the award...I was
wearing jeans! I was so embar-
rassed."
Many people nominated her,
among them Shirley Kuzmovich,
the Clarion coordinator for the
American Red Cross.
Hartle felt that nominating her
was Kuzmovich's way of recog-
nizing her for organizing the
blood drives on campus for the
past ten years.
As a result of Hartle's efforts,
over 3,000 pints of blood have
been raised in the past ten years.

4th Annual Event
"unites cultures"
by Lori Imbrogno
Clarion Call Staff Writer
■*-^^ ^w>J
Excitement filled the air as
hundreds of people of all ages
and cultures were united during
the 4th Annual Clarion
University and Community
Cultural Night, a kick-off of
ALF. Sponsored by Beverly
Healthcare Clarion, the event
celebrated diversity through a
variety of music, dance, and
fashion.
Dr. Reinhard, president of
Clarion University, introduced
the program, rejoicing racial and
ethnic differences of the commu-
nity and world. People crowded
Main Street as Major Robert
Yoho continued, explaining that
the town would be "filled with
international joy."
Taking over were cohosLs Karen
Hazlett and Brian Roberts, intro-
ducing the performers one by
one.
The entertainment opened with
Christopher Waite, a student here
at Clarion, performing a solo to
"Stars" from Les Miserables. As
the music electrified the commu-
nity, people viewed surrounding
sales as some received writing
samples from various cultures.
Appearing in Scandinavian
attire were professors Drs.
Beverly and Richard Smaby, per-
forming dances to a variety of
Swedish and Norwegian selec-
tions. Jackie Booth, a Native
American Clarion student, fol-
lowed, welcoming the audience
to the "land of the Seneca
Nation" by singing the Seneca
National Anthem.
Clarion's Lift Every Voice
gospel choir and McKeesport's
New Image Mime Group provid-
ed a program with a religious
twist. The chorus preached their
beliefs through songs including
"How Excellent" and "Speak to
My Heart, Lord" while the
Mimes illustrated their faith
through a combination of dance
and sign language. "We came
here to minister you," said the
director of New Image Mime
Group. "We're going to dance
before you the way we dance
before the Lord." She explained
that God will answer people's
prayers, despite their culture, and
that everyone is equal in the eyes
of the Lord.
The buzz continued as the
Clarion International Association
presented a fashion show, por-
traying styles from around the
world. Set to international
music, Japanese, Chinese,
Egyptian, and Indian students
were among many representa-
tives to model the costume of
their homeland.
Many musical programs dis-
played their talents, including
CUP students Angelo Anderson
and Brad Wright's rap "Groove
Me with Your Flows" and multi-
ple performances by Clarions
High School's Clarion Singers.
Reappearing from years past was
the Ecuadorian band Runa Kuna,
closing the night with traditional
songs from South America.
Moved by the beat of the music,
spectators left the event with an
advanced knowledge of cultural
diversity.
Community interest in
Clarion's Cultural Night was
extraordinary. Bettina Johnson, a
freshman here in Clarion, was
especially impressed with New
Image Mime Group's perfor-
mance, saying, "They did an
excellent job, and it would be
nice if they come back next
year." Overall, she believes that
Cultural Night was a "great
experience" and "very creative."
Brookville resident Sandy Geer
also enjoyed the program. "I
think it's fantastic," she replied.
"It has outlived my expectations,
and I love the variety."
Attendance was exceptionally
high as well. Although it has
been the coldest of any Cultural
Night in Clarion, Karen Hazlett
announced, "This is the best
crowd we've had yet."
President Reinhard hopes that
by having seen students, faculty
members, and community mem-
bers share their cultures, people
will join them in their celebration
of diversity.

Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
After years of begging for a big
name band, Clarion students
requests have been answered
with the arrival of Blues
Traveler.
Blues Traveler will be per-
forming at Tippin Gymnasium

A Taste of ALF
by James Gates
Clarion Call Staff Writer
What's the greates aspect about the
Autumn Leaf Festival? It isnt' the
games, or the rides, ore even the
parade; it's defintely the food. ALF is
known for having some of the best
festival food around, and this year is
no exception.
This year's AL oners a wide array
of food, ranging from Poorman's
Caramel Apples to Kettle Kom to
Chicken Wings. Walking along Fifth
Avenue you will find all of the food
vendors, some travelling from other
states to bring us the delicious delica-
cies.
One of the first places to stop at is the
Piovenzale Concession Stands by the
Captain Loomis Inn. They serve
excellent steak sandwiches and fiench
fiies. From there, venture over to the
Quaker Steak and Lube wing stand
and chow down on some tasty
LouisianaLkkers. For dessert, mere's
a plethora of stands to choose from.
There's fudge, soft pretzels, fried
dough, kettle popcorn, cotton candy,
and of course, Poorman's caramel
apples.
There are new stands this year along
with the festival mainstays. One new-
corner this year is the Kettle Kom tent
inthepark. Coming all the way from
Wyoming, they pop com kernels in a
huge kettle and it is the best tasting
popcorn ever, crossing regular pop-
corn with caramel com. It is very
sweet, but is virtually fat free.
ALF regulars include Evans fudge,
a great homemade fudge stand The
fudge is made fresh daily and is
extremely tasty. Another regular is
J&B Concessions from Youngstown,
Ohio. They serve excellent funnel
cakes, a festival staple. Both stands
have served delicious desserts at ALF
for over twenty years.
For fans of Italian sausage sand-
wiches, there's J&J's Carnival
Concession Stand near the court-
house. Pizza lovers should try
Caputo's Pizza Stand or S&R
Pepperoni Roll Stand. It is definitely
worth it
Finally, the must try ALF dessert is
the famous Poorman's Caramel
Apples by JAAM Concessions.
They are unbelievable. With eight
toppings to choose from, caramel,
chocolate, ice cream, and a waffle
cone, the caramel apple is a meal into
itself.
Business this year, as usual, has
been booming. Some vendors had to
dose early on Tuesday because they
sold out too soon.
Come down to AXF. and eat
everything under the sun, just there
early so you won't be left out

Many Clarion students may
not be aware about the Miss
Teen ALF pageant. However it
is the event that opens ALF
week, and it is evidently a very
popular event.
On Saturday October 3, in the
Clarion Area High School audi-
torium, the Miss Teen ALF and
the Miss Junior Teen ALF
pageant took place. There were
eight young ladies competing
for Miss Junior Teen ALF and
10 young ladies competing for
Miss Teen ALF. All of these
ladies had to perform their tal-
ents to the packed high school
auditorium.
The winners were judged on a
weighted scale such that 15% of
their score was Runway model-
ing, 15% was Evening wear,
35% was their talent, and final-
ly 35% for their Essay (which
they wrote to get into the com-
petition.)
After sitting through many
different Talents and clothing
changes, the audience finally
got what they were waiting
on.. .the winners.
In the Miss Junior Teen ALF
Bethany Moore and Meighan
McMillen tied for the best
Essay Award, Stephanie Spear
received the Miss Congeniality

to Emily Righter, and the win-
ner of Miss Junior Teen ALF

"Pure Gold"
kicks off
ALF
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Assistant
Lifestyles Editor
Oldies cover band Pure Gold
performed this Sunday at the
Clarion Memorial Stadium,
leaving no bubble gum oldie-
stone unturned. From six to
eight, they took the sizable
crowd that braved the cold
weather back to a friendlier
time, music-wise; as they cov-
ered songs from everything
from teen idols to British inva-
sion.
It could' ve been the sound-
track to The Wonder Years tele-
vision show, as Pure Gold
churned out hit after hit from
yesteryear.
The people in the attendance
certainly seemed to have a good
time, as they sang along to these
songs which have been perenni-
al favorites at social functions
for decades. Short of putting
Buddy Holly's skeleton on stage
with a guitar in his hands, this is
probably the closest you'll get to
that sound.
After the show, a display of
fireworks was put on by Eat n'
Park. It was a perfect way to cap
off the evening, as everyone just
sat back arid enjoyed the half-
hour display.

Movie Review
Ronin: Gives James Bond
a run for his money
by Keith Gwllim
Clarion Call assistant
Lifestyles editor
Ronin sounds like a sure-fire
winner on paper, both artistically
and commercially. A John
Frakenheimer spy thriller, with
plenty of intrigue, backstabbing,
car chases, and filled with A-Hst
actors like Robert DeNiro,
Jonathan Pryce, and Jean Reno.
So how does it come across on
film?
Well, it's not the second coming
of Frakenheimer's classic The
French Connection, but it is a
large cut above most amateurish
efforts you find in the theaters
today. Ronin_ starts off on the
wrong track; with an opening
sequence that gives you a crash
course in Samurai culture. Ronin
refers to a dishonored samurai
without a master that roams the
land. It gives you the impression
that this is going to be a bad
Kurosawa knock-off.
Instead of shamed samurai,
the 'ronin' in this movie are
all disavowed spies, on the
track of a mysterious brief-
case, a la Pulp Fiction, the
exposition could have been
done better, with the intro-
duction of the ensemble cast
coming of as rather tedious.
Six of these spies have been
assembled by Irish terrorist
Seamus (Jonathan Pryce), for
the seemingly simple task of
retrieving a heavily guarded
briefcase, contents unknown
to them.
Ronin is heavy on plot, as it
weaves a darkly complex web.
This incredibly rewarding story-
line comes at the expense of
character development, which
surprisingly doesn't hurt as much
as it should. In fact, it actually
adds to the movie, making the
spies seem even more enigmatic.
The movie is also gritty and real-
istic, as nobody in this movie is
truly safe. As these 'ronin' cut a
swath of destruction through
Paris, innocent bystander upon

Welcome back Alumni
Stop by after the game!
- - Hi I
innocent bystander upon inno-
cent bystander is killed senseless-
ly. These spies care only for the
paycheck they will receive at the
end of the mission, and the unin-
volved are constantly used as
everything from bullet shields to
leverage in shady deals. It really
shows you just how detached
these people are from the real
world. Ronin_shov/s the dark
underbelly of what
Mission: Impossible should have
been.
Frankenheimer proves that he is
still king of the car chase scenes,
with some of the best he's ever
done. From the crowded, narrow
cobblestone back alleys of Paris
to incredibly high speed high-
ways, Frankenheimer keeps the
action moving at a breakneck
speed, and shows that the MTV
generation of directors just how
it's done. One chase in particular
works well, as it goes under-
ground into a claustrophobic
Paris tunnel.
All the actors earn their pay-
check, with several standout per-
formances. Sean Bean
(Goldeneye, Patriot Games) does
much with his brief role as a jit-
tery weapons expert. DeNiro and
Reno play off each other remark-
ably well, with the pair often pro-
viding a much needed shot of
humor to the film. S tell an
Skarsgard (Good Will Hunting)
is wonderfully devious, as he
whatever he can to outdo his
companions. One scene where
he shows off his unwavering
conviction, as he trains his gun
on a little girl is bone-chilling.
The only part of the movie in
which the actors don't interact
well is a pointless scene of sen-
suality between DeNiro and
Natasha McElhone's character,
Diedre. It serves no purpose in
moving the plot, and is inconsis-
tent with the characters' previous
behavior.
This is not the romantic lovers'
Paris we are so often treated to in
films. These are the slums, the
back alleys darkened at night,
and the people that inhabit them.
You're never sure just what each
characters' motivations are, even
when the movie has wrapped up,
much like previous
Frankenheimer outings, such as
The Manchurian Candidate or
The French Connection.
Everything has to be just right, as
demonstrated by his casting of
Olympic skater Katarina Witt for
a minuscule, 2-line part as a
Russian ice skater.
Ronin could conceivably be
better, but it would be a hard
task. It's a thinking man's
movie, which are unfortunately a
dying breed. Ronin deserves a
place in the long line of taught
suspense movies, right alongside
From Russia With Love and the
above-mentioned Frankenheimer
films. On my five-star rating
system, Ronin gets a four.

Video Review
The Apostle follows
Robert Duvall's
spiritual quest
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
After learning that actor Robert
Duvall wrote directed, produced,
and starred in the The Apostle, I
expected a project dripping with
self-glorification. Giving one
person such tremendous creative
control would probably tempt
most people to create a monu-
mental tribute to his or her own
skill. Perhaps that's why I was so
surprised at what a well-rounded
film The Apostle is.
Duvall plays Sonny, a popular
but troubled Southern preacher
who accidentally kills his wife's
lover. While on the run from the
law, Sonny experiences a spiritu-
al reawakening and decides to
begin his life anew and become
an apostle of Jesus. Sonny bap-
tizes himself as the Apostle E.F.
and sets out on a mission to save
the souls of an entire community.
Sonny's mission is furhter com-
plicated by a confusing romantic
relationship he begins with a
local woman (Miranda
Richardson) and his guilt over
not being able to provide comfort
for his ailing mother, while he
hides from the police.
At it's heart, The Apostle is
about the lengths people will go
to find spiritual salvation.
Fortunatley, the film never tries
to pass judgement on any of it's
characters. There are no "good
guys" or "bad guys" in The
Apostle , only people who have
either found redemption or are
still searching for it.
The film benefits greatly from
the fine performances of Duvall
and the rest of the great ensemble

Sonny/Apostle E.F. truly anchors
the film. Duvall keeps Sonny a
realistic character, resisting the
longstanding Hollywood tradition
of presenting religous characters
as either fanatics or zealots.
Sonny's humanity is part of what
makes the film so touching.
Perfectly acted and uniquely
crafted, The Apostle is the type of
quality drama rarely seen in the-
multiplex these days. Those
expecting slam-bang action and

Music Review
Earth Crisis and Soul Coughing release new albums
by James Gates
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Earth Crisis and Soul
Coughing both have new albums
out, Breed the Killers and El Oso
respectively. Earth Crisis is a
hard-core band out of Syracuse,
New York and Soul Coughing are
trip-pop out of Atlanta Georgia.
Most normal heavy rock bands
have the talent to utilize their
instruments in creating songs.
Such is the with Earth Crisis.
Their third release, Breed the
Killers, is a hardcore-metal mas-
terpiece.
Soul Coughing, on the other
hand, lack any song writing talent
and their latest release, El Oso ,
falls flat on it's face.
Earth Crisis mixes hardcore
with metal on Breed the Killers,
which has proven to be an effec-
tive formula with them in the
past. The grooves are slower and
more muscular, but are far from
being simple hardcore bets.
Breed the Killers is easily Earth
Crisis's most consistent album to
date.
Drummer Dennis Merrick and
bassist Bulldog hook up to lay
down some of the most complex
mid-tempo patterns around in the
heavy rock scene. Guitarists
Scott Grouse and Erick Edwards
interplay their metal riffs back and
forth, and vocalist Karl Buechner

screams over the wall of noise.
Earth Crisis is the premier mil-
itant, vegan hardcore band out on
the scene today and their message
against all that is animal-based is
evident in the lyrics.
Buechner punctuates his vegan
message in every song with group
shouts and sing-a-longs, a proven
hardcore styles. Other times, he
oscillates his voice between the
speakers, panning them out for
increased effectiveness.
Soul Coughing 's new album El
)so is, in my opinion, a complete
ulure. After forcing myself to lis-
ai to the album the full way
through twice, I was in pure
agony.
First off, Soul Coughing uses
only bass and drums in their
songs. The guitars are merely
fillers. This would work if their
bassist and drummer had talent,
but they apparently lack in that
department.
The mix on the disc is extreme-
ly weak and inconsistent.
Apparently, the producer didn't
want to be associated with them
either. There might be hope for
Soul Coughing yet. If they prac-
tice their instruments hard and
develop an alternative rock
sound, they might be considered
decent. Until then, they don't
even rate on my scale of ten,
especially with El Oso.
Earth Crisis, on the other hand,
are accomplished musicians and
it shows. Their Breed the Killers
is a killer and gets an eight out of
ten from me.

The Golden Eagles return home to face Edinboro Saturday after a three-game road trip.
The Eagles fell to Slippery Rock, 28-14, Saturday to complete the road trip.
Rockets slip away with win
Eagles show strong defense in loss
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
Twelfth-ranked Slippery Rock,
taking advantage of seven Clarion
turnovers, defeated the Golden
Eagles 28-14 Saturday at rain-
soaked N. Kerr Thompson
Stadium.
The win moved the Rockets to
4-1 overall and 1-0 in the PSAC-
West as they prepare for a show-
down with No. 2 IUP Saturday.
Clarion, which played its fourth
road game in five starts, fell to 2-
3 overall and 0-1 in Western
Division play. The Eagles will
look to rebound this week with a
homecoming matchup against
Edinboro.
Against Slippery Rock, the
Eagles were able to do what no
other team has accomplished over
the past two seasons — shut down
the Rocket offense, which looked
like a three-fisted fighter on paper.
The Rockets featured the back-
field duo of power runners Rick
Magulick and Stan Kennedy and
Rick Magulick, along with the
versatility of quarterback Randy
McKavish.
However, the Golden Eagle
defense stuffed the Rocket attack,
allowing only one sustained drive.
Magulick finished with 94 yards
on 20 carries, most of which on
that drive, a touchdown march in
the fourth quarter. Kennedy could
only manage 18 stripes on 12 car-
ries, while McKavish's runs
yielded minimal damage.
Leading the Clarion defense was
freshman Doug Diegelman, who
was named the PS AC- West player
of the week for his nine-tackle,
one-sack performance.
Diegelman also blocked an SRU
extra point attempt.
Yet, the story of the game was
the turnovers that plagued the
Golden Eagles. Slippery Rock
also featured a strong defense, and
the cold, unceasing rain also
played havoc with the Eagle
offense.
In the first quarter, Alvin
Slaughter caught an inside pass
but lost the handle to a Slippery
Rock defender. Shortly after, the
Rockets capitalized when
McKavish, facing heavy pressure
from Clarion defenders, heaved a
19-yard pass to Scott Whipple for
the first score of the game.
The score remained 7-0 until the
2:14 mark of the second quarter
when the Rockets took advantage
of another Eagle miscue. Punter
Frank Van Wert, who has enjoyed
a fine season as a punter and a
placekicker this season, couldn't
get a grip on a long snap. The ball
was bobbled between VanWert
and Slippery Rock defenders until
the ball fell into Jason Hawks'
hands for a touchdown and a 14-0
Rocket lead.
In the second half, the. Rockets
cushioned their lead to 20-0 when
comerback Brian Polk nabbed a
Chris Weibel offering and ran
untouched for 51 yards and a
touchdown. The Rockets were
flagged for taunting, however, and
the extra point attempt was
blocked.
The Clarion offense got on track
at the end of the quarter when
Weibel punched in from 3 yards
out to put the Eagles on the board.
VanWert connected on the extra
point, cutting the Slippery Rock
lead to 20-7.
Slippery Rock responded with a
touchdown drive and a two-point
conversion to restore the lead at
28-7 four minutes into the quarter.
Three minutes later, Weibel
found Demetric Gardner for a 13-
yard strike to pull within striking
distance.
The Eagles would threaten again
with just over two minutes
remaining, but the coup de grace
took place when Weibel was inter-
cepted.
Weibel passed for 213 yards on
16-of-38 passing. Gardner caught
four passes for 91 yards.
Cheyney
still
winless
By Jason Dambach
Assistant Sports Editor
The good and the bad: The
PSAC is widely regarded as one
of the nation's premier confer-
ences in Division II football with
good reason. The conference has
sent at least one team to the play-
offs in each of the last 11 sea-
sons, and on four occasions the
PSAC has placed three teams in
the playoffs.
D-II Notebook
Based on that, you can forgive
the conference for being the
home to the laughing stock of
college football. With a 41-0 loss
at California Saturday, Cheyney
is now winless in 49 straight
games dating back to 1993.
But, if there's a man who can
handle a long losing streak it has
to be first-year head coach John
Parker, who was the head coach
at the University of Minnesota-
Morris when that school ended a
27-game losing streak in 1996.
The Wolves' best chance to end
the streak may be on Oct. 31
when they host Mansfield.
Where are they now?: Many
people feel this area became
huge D-II football fans after
Clarion's improbable run to the
final four in 1996. And while
injuries and graduation have
moved the Golden Eagles back
towards the pack, the three other
national semifinalists from that
year remain among the nation's
elite.
In fact, all three are among the
top ten in this week's top 20 poll.
Northern Colorado, which
knocked Clarion out of the semis
and have gone on to win back-to-
back national titles, is the top-
ranked team in the country.
California-Davis is sixth while
Carson-Newman is ranked
eighth.
Congratulations: Millersville
head coach Gene Carpenter
recorded his 200th career victory
with a 37-13 win at Mansfield.
He is just the third active
Division II coach to reach the
200-win plateau and his career
winning percentage of .694 is
among the top ten in the nation.

Eagles test D-I competition
By Megan Pavuk
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Clarion University Golden
Eagles split squads this past
weekend.
The top seven runners of each
team ran Saturday at the 25th
Lehigh University Paul Short
Run, while the others ran Friday
at Walsh (Ohio) University.
Despite being at two different
locations, both races proved to be
challenging. All of the teams
gave a commendable effort.
At Walsh, the women finished
third behind the College of
Wooster and Walsh. Leading the
way for the team was Andrea
Borek (21:23). She was followed
by teammates Linda Bryce,
Megan Pavuk, Cheryl Sorice, and
Seana Simon.
The men's team also placed
third at Walsh. Finishing ninth
overall was Gregg Wade (30:38).
He was followed by Matt
Lapatka and Shane Cummings.
Lehigh University hosted 42
men's teams and 39 women's
teams. Most of the teams in
attendance were Division I
schools, including Cornell, Yale,
Georgetown, Pittsburgh, and
Michigan State. For both the
men and the women, competition
was extremely fierce. Each indi-
vidual had to step up to the big-
name competition.
Among 264 runners in the
women's race, co-captain
Roxanne Wilson led the Eagles,
placing 147th with a time of
19:11. She was followed closely
by her teammates Kelly Null,
Bridgette Laflin, Maureen Long,
Daria Diaz, Wendy Kengor, and
Kristie Runk. This gave the
women's team 34th-place finish,
beating rival Duquense among
others.
The "Hot Legs" award rightful-
ly went to Wilson, and the "Keep
on Running" award went to
Kengor.
The men's team also faced a
challenge running against D-I
schools. By running their fastest
times, each of them jumped up to
the competition and placed 41st.
Setting Clarion's pace was top
runner Ean King (26:32), finish-
ing 213th out of 293. Next was
Mark Trzyna followed by captain
Jon Fox, Colin McGlone, Jason
Bochert, Brad Walker, and John
Sherry.
Since all seven men had the
fastest times in team history, the
entire men's team received the
"Hot Legs" award.
The teams will run this
Saturday at Clarion's own
Clarion Invitational held at
Mayfield Golf Course. Some of
the team will run the Alumni
Meet at 10 a.m., and the top
seven will be seen in the college
race at 1 p.m.
Golfers

Clarion Call Staff Writer
The golf team traveled this past
week to the Westminster/
Slippery Rock Golf Invitational.
The field was made up of some
good teams, such as Allegheny,
Malone, and Slippery Rock. On
the first day, Clarion posted a
score of (322). The Eagles were
led by junior Matt Honacki, who
shot an impressive round of four-
over-par 76. Other scores
included Anthoney Tacconelli
(81), Shawn Will (82), and J.P.
Kenney with an 83. As the sec-
ond day began the site of the
tournament changed from the
New Castle Country Club to
Armco Golf Club in Slippery
Rock. Clarion improved 13
shots to post a 309. The fresh-
man, Tacconelli, once again
came up big with a round of 74.
Right behind him was the great
play of Andy Ganoe "Tin Cup,"
who shot a 77. Other scores
included Will with a 78, and Matt
Honacki at 80. Clarion's total of
631 was good enough for sev-
enth place.
Classic raises
$36,000 for
athletic fund
Courtesy of
Sports Infor mation
The 11th annual National City
Bank/Pepsi Golf Classic, to ben-
efit Clarion University's Waldo
S. Tippin Scholarship Fund,
raised over $36,000 for athletic
scholarships and was termed a
"big success" by Athletics
Director Bob Carlson.
Held on Friday, Sept. 11 at
Mayfield Golf Club, 144 persons
registered and participated in the
event. The turnout, 144, was a
full field ( reduced from 152
golfers in 1992-97). The
"Classic" tournament started
with a total of 96 in 1988, 110 in
1989, 128 in 1990, 148 in 1991
and 152 from 1992-97. The field
has been full for the last eight
years.
In addition to those who paid
to play, the corporate sponsors
and donations from National
City Bank and Pepsi, additional
.hole sponsors, and donations
from area businesses enabled the
tournament to raise in excess of
$36,000, which ties the tourna-
ment record set last year.

October fi„199fl
Ohio State favored to win the MEDIOCRE Big Ten
By Chris Pfeil
Associate Sports Editor
With the college football season
approaching the halfway point of
the season, a number of teams
have risen above the pack and
established themselves as national
tide contenders.
Ohio State has marched out to a
4-0 record and seems to be a lock
to play in the national champi-
onship game, which will be
played in the Fiesta Bowl in
January. The Buckeyes have
looked impressive in beating
Missouri and thrashed an overrat-
ed Penn State team last week.
The Buckeyes have only one test
left on their schedule, and that
game is at home against a
Michigan squad that is struggling
after its undefeated season last
year.
I know that the Big Ten is
thought of as one of the toughest
conferences in America, but, like I
have been saying for three years,
it is extremely overrated. The
not-so-Big Ten has only three
teams ranked in the Top 30 in the
Sagarin computer rankings. Ohio
State (No. 2) has already beaten
Penn State (11) and does not play
Wisconsin (10) this year.
Speaking of Penn State, they are
going nowhere again this year
because JoePa insists on playing
his seniors, instead of his more
talented underclassmen.
Remember, no Big Ten has won
an outright national championship
since the 1968 Ohio State
Buckeyes. And many still consid-
er it the best conference in
America?
The Nebraska Cornhuskers have
emerged as the early favorite to
play Ohio State in the Fiesta
Bowl. However, Nebraska has a
long haul in front of them if they
hope to land a spot in the national
title game.
After rolling over Washington,
the Huskers struggled last week
against Oklahoma State.
Nebraska has a grueling Big 12
schedule ahead of them. That's
right, I said grueling.
The Big 12 has taken much crit-
icism over the last few years about
being a cupcake conference. Yet,
this year, nine teams in the Big 12
are ranked in the Top 30 in the
computer rankings.
Nebraska (1) has a huge test late
in the year at Kansas State (3).
The Huskers also face Colorado
(6), Texas (25), Missouri (29),
and Texas A&M (30). Other Big
12 teams that are ranked are Texas
Tech (14), Oklahoma (23), and
Baylor (26).
Whoever does survive the tough
Big 12 schedule, also has to play
in the Big 12 Championship
Game before entertaining any
thoughts of a national title.
UCLA has emerged as the fron-
trunner in the Pac-10. The Bruins
(4) will batUe the likes of Arizona
(9), Oregon (12), USC (17),
California (24), and Washington
(32) for the conference title.
The SEC is once again full of
hopefuls for the national tide.
Tennessee (5) leads the way after
impressive victories over Florida
(18) and Auburn. The other SEC
teams that are in the hunt to win
the conference are LSU (13), the
surprising Arkansas Razorbacks
(15), Florida (18), and my upset
choice to win the SEC, the
Georgia Bulldogs (19).
Florida State (7) is still clinging
on to national title hopes after
being upset early by North
Carolina State (16). The key here
is that the Seminoles lost early,
and in college football, if you lose
early you still have a chance. The
only other team in the conference
that has hopes of winning the
ACC is Virginia (22).
The Big East may be the most
unpredictable conference in the
nation. Virginia Tech (8) looks to
be the front runner, followed by
the high scoring Syracuse
Orangemen (21) and West
Virginia (28). The spoiler in this
conference may be the Pittsburgh
Panthers. Pitt gave Penn State a
huge scare and barring a few
turnovers may have knocked off
Virginia Tech.
Finally, talk about college foot-
ball would not be complete with-
out mentioning Notre Dame.
There I mentioned them, and, no,
they are not a national tide con-
tender.
As I have been known to do in
this column, I will go out on a
limb and tell you now who will
play in the Fiesta Bowl for the
national tide. The Nebraska
Cornhuskers will take on the not-
so Big Ten champion Ohio State
Buckeyes.
Now that the Big Ten and Pac-
10 have joined the Bowl Alliance,
college football should finally
have a decisive No. 1 versus No. 2
game. Granted, it is not as good
as a playoff system, but it is better
than having the top two teams
playing in different games.
No, I won't let you hanging on
my prediction for the Nebraska-
Ohio State title game. But, I'm
sure you already figured out who I
would pick. That's right,

Homecoming brings back
CUP football memories
Courtesy of
Sports Information
Most college football teams
long for just one championship
season, or hope for a sustained
stretch of quality football for a
few years. Clarion's football tra-
dition takes in over 40 years of
excellence and features the indi-
vidual greatness of coaches and
student-athletes, which is the
Clarion University trademark.
The football tradition itself was
started by Waldo S. Tippin, prob-
ably better known as the "Great
White Father," because of his
white hair and fatherly approach
to his players. Tippin, also
Clarion's athletics director,
coached from 1935-47 and 1952-
56, and had a quality record. But
his comeback in 1952 set the
stage for future decades of
Clarion football. The Golden
Eagles posted a 9-0 overall record
in 1952, including a 13-6 win
over East Carolina in the Lions
Bowl, Clarion's only bowl
appearance. That seasons was led
by the play of Dave Bevevino,
John Lovre, Bob Shaw, George
Czap, and Alex Sandusky.
A number of good seasons fol-
lowed, but in 1961, under Ernie
"Turk" Johnson, the Eagles post-
ed a 5-2-1 record and an NCAA
Division II streak was born.
Amazingly, for the next 27 sea-
sons, Clarion didn't have a losing
seasons and seemingly either won
the PSAC- Western Division or
was favored to win the division
every season.
What coaches Tippin, Bob
Moore, Ben Kribbs, and Ernie
Johnson labored to build from
1935-62, reached legendary
heights from 1963-81 under
nationally recognized head coach
Al Jacks.
When Al Jacks came to Clarion
in 1963, the overall program
: (1926-1962) had managed a
record of 106-127-12. When
Jacks stepped down as head coach
in 1981, he had completed an
unbelievable 19-year record of
128-46-5, a winning percentage
of 72.9 percent. Remarkably,
Jacks guided the Golden Eagles to
19 straight non-losing and 18
straight winning seasons. Under
his masterful tutelage, the Golden
Eagles won the PSAC-Western
Division titles in 1966, 67, 69,
77,78, and 80, while winning the
PSAC championship in 1966, 77,
and 80.
Clarion's best teams over that
period? No doubt the first was
the undefeated 1966 squad (10-0),
which featured Jim Alcorn,
Mickey Catello, Jim Becker, Jim
Miller, John DeRiggi, and Tom
Kurts.
The 1977 PSAC championship
team was 9-0-1 behind the likes
of Ed Arndt, Jay Dellostretto, and
BUI May. The PSAC title team of
1980 was 9-2 with top players
including Bob Beatty, Steve
Scillitani, Gary McCauley, and
Bob Bettis.
The 1982 seasons saw longtime
assistant Charles Ruslavage
become the Eagle boss and lead
the team to a 7-3 record. That
year ended with an exciting three-
game winning streak to set the
stage for 1983.
Gene Sobolewski, also a long-
time assistant, became Clarion's
ninth head coach in 1983 and
directed the Golden Eagles to the
PSAC-West title and won the
PSAC championship
with a 27-14 victory over East
Stroudsburg at Hershey Stadium.
The Eagles finished with a 9-2
mark that year led by Pat Carbol,
Elton Brown, Kevin Ewing, Terry
McFetridge, and Jon Haslett. The
1984 season ranked third in the
nation by Sports Illustrated in the
Division II preseason poll.
Sobolewski led Clarion to a 7-3
mark in 1984 and an 8-2 record in
1985, including a final season No.
16 ranking.
Both Clarion (27 straight) and
Penn State (49 straight) lost their
nation-leading non-losing season
streaks in 1988, but both have
returned to their winning ways.
In 1992 Clarion won its eighth
PSAC-West title on the field.
In 1994, Malen Luke became
Clarion's 10th head coach and has
continued the tradition.
In 1996 he led Clarion to an 11-
3 record, won the
Lambert/Meadowlands Cup, the
NCAA East Region and PSAC-
West titles, gained the NCAA
playoffs, and a "Final Four" fin-
ish.
"Clarion's football tradition is
outstanding because of its dedi-
cated and hard-working head
coaches and their commitment to
excellence in the classroom and
on the football field.
"That commitment is the right
way to run a first-class program
and we expect to continue that

son in the PSAC has to be California. The Vulcans, who were picked
to finish at the bottom of the standings, are off to a 3-2 start. Two of
their wins may be against Cheyney and Mansfield, the two worst teams
in the conference, but they have already surpassed last year's total of
two wins. A win at Lock Haven this weekend would give Cal its first
four-win campaign since 1993. However, for the Vulcans to record
their first winning season since 1987, they must win at least two of their
final five contests against Slippery Rock, Edinboro, IUP, Shippensburg
and at Clarion in the final game of the regular season.

The Golden Eagles return home after a grueling three-game road trip in
which they went 1-2 to face Edinboro in an important contest. A loss
would drop Clarion to 2-4 overall and 0-2 in the PSAC-West, a hole from
which it would be difficult to recover from.
Despite returning a conference-leading 19 starters from last year,
Edinboro has struggled to a 1-4 record, including a heartbreaking 27-23
loss at home last week to Shippensburg. Meanwhile, the Golden Eagles
are coming off a frustrating 28-14 loss at No. 12 Slippery Rock, in which
the Golden Eagles turned the ball over seven times. Aside from the
turnovers, Clarion had to be happy with its defense, which held Slippery
Rock's vaunted running attack to just 2.7 yards per carry.
This week, the Golden Eagle defense will once again have its hands full
with a strong running attack. Edinboro senior running back Gerald
Thompson is by far the PSAC's leading rusher with 730 yards and seven
touchdowns in five games. Last week against Shippensburg, Thompson
ran for 202 yards on 39 carries.
However, the Scots' offense is not one-dimensional. They possess the
conference's fourth-best passing offense led by sophomore Brian
Caldwell, who has thrown for 1 ,059 yards in five games. Dangerous wide
receiver Quentin Ware-Bey leads Edinboro with 25 catches for 352 yards
and five TDs. Kicker Tyson Cook possesses range from beyond 50 yards.
Defense has been Edinboro's Achilles heel in its 1-4 start. The Scots
rank 12th out of 14 teams in the PSAC in total defense and are dead last
against the pass. That means that Clarion's standout wide receiver, Atvin
Slaughter, whose 36 catches for 587 yards are among the PSAC's best
could have a field day.
However, the Clarion running game, which is ranked 10th in the PSAC
could be the key to victory. The Golden Eagles will need to run the ball
effectively in order to chew up yardage and clock and keep the defense
rested. Senior quarterback Chris Weibel, who has made a tremendous
recovery from a season-ending knee injury last season, will focus on find-
ing Slaughter, who is on pace to break the school's single season recep-
tions (74) and receiving yards (1,018) records.
Defensively, Clarion will attempt to shut down the Edinboro offense as
it dkl a year ago in a 28-0 victory — also at Memorial Stadium. In that
game, the Golden Eagles held the Soots to (-3) yards rushing, a task that
may be tough to duplicate once again, especially with Edinboro hoping to
feed Thompson the ball over 30 times. However, after keeping Slippery
Rock's running game in check last week, anything is possible.
The defensive star inlast week's game for Clarion was freshman defen-
sive lineman Doug Diegelman, who was awarded with the PSAC-West
"Defensive Player of the Week" award. As always, the linebackers will be
the key to the Clarion defense. Sophomore Ryan Presutti has been dom-
inant over the first five weeks, recording 3.5 sacks, two interceptions, and
an average of eight tackles per week. Junior Brett Wiley is second in the
PSAC in tackles and is tied with Presutti with five tackles for a loss If
those two, along with senior linebacker Keith Kochert, can find them-
selves in the Edinboro backfield much of the day, Clarion will be in good
shape. The secondary will look to tame the fourth-best passing offense in
the conference.
EXTRA POINTS: Clarion has not beaten Edinboro in consecutive sea-
sons since 1984-85 ... Five of Clarion's 10 Division II opponents are
ranked in the Northeast Region - IUP (No. 1, No. 2 nationally), Slippery
Rock (No. 3, No. 10 nationally), Westchester (No. 7), Millersville (No 8)
and Shepherd (10th) ... The Golden Eagles are 1-2 against those teams'
with games left to play against IUP (Oct. 24), West Chester (Oct. 31)
Edinboro head coach Tom Hollman, now in his 11th season at the school
has posted a 43-16-2 record against PSAC-West competition.

Clarion defeats Edinboro 33-20
WHAT A WIN !
by Nathan Koble
Clarion Call Sports Editor
The Clarion University foot-
ball team enjoyed Homecoming
more than anyone else Saturday
afternoon.
The Eagles, who opened the
season with four away games in
five starts, hammered PSAC-
West rival Edinboro, 33-20, in
front of 7,000 fans at Memorial
Stadium.
The win allowed Clarion to
even its record at 3-3 on the year
(1-1 PSAC), while the disap-
pointing Fighting Scots tumbled
to 1-5 (0-2 PSAC).
Though sloppy at times, the
Golden Eagle offense spread the
ball around, keeping the
Edinboro defense guessing. The
Eagles rolled up 206 rushing
yards on 42 attempts. The
Eagles went to more of a ground
attack after tossing 38 passes in
a 28-14 loss at Slippery Rock a
week earlier.
"I think we're starting to get a
better balance," said Clarion
head coach Malen Luke.
"We're doing alright moving the
ball, but then we get a second-
and-2 and we get a motion
penalty or poor execution on a
play. Those are the things that
are hurting us right now."
When passing, the Eagles used
their short-passing attack led by
quarterback Chris Weibel, who
threw for 167 yards on 26
attempts. Running back Jamie
Sickeri came out of the backfield
to account for 100 of those yards.
However, it was the play of
freshman running back Demitric
Gardner that seemed to put life
into the Golden Eagle offense
Saturday. Gardner sparked the
Clarion running game, which has
been among the conference's
least effective at times this sea-
son, with 106 yards on 1 1 tries —
good for an impressive 9.3 aver-
age.
"He's a great player," said
Luke. "He's going to have a
great future here for us I think.
He's just going to get better as he
gets more experience. We're real
happy about it."
Gardner was pleased with his
performance, which came just
one week after totaling 91 receiv-
ing yards at Slippery Rock.
"It's all about learning the
offense," said Gardner. "It takes
some time to adjust to the (col-
lege) game. This is a lot faster
than high school. It's a lot more

physical."
While the Eagles would control
most of the contest, the Scots
gave the Golden Eagles an early
wake-up call.
Edinboro quarterback Brian
Caldwell hooked up with star
wide receiver Quentin Ware-Bey
for strikes of 39 and 44 yards on
the first two plays of the game to
put the Scots ahead 7-0.
"We just didn't come ready to
play — pure and simple," said
Luke.
That score would stand at the
end of the first quarter before the
Eagles exploded for a 16-poinf
second period.
On a fourth-and-goal situation
from the 1, Sickeri punched into
the end zone to put the Eagles on
the board with 10:36 to play in
the first half. Frank Van Wert
drilled the extra point to knot the
score at 7-7.
Edinboro's next possession
would stall when Brad Geer
intercepted a Caldwell pass at the
Edinboro 32. Five plays later,

Edinboro Scots at their home-
Gardner coughed the ball up into
the end zone just before crossing
the goal line. Fortunately for
Clarion, the ball wound up in the
hands of wide receiver Dan Stout
to give the Eagles a 13-7 edge.
The two-point conversion would
fail, leaving the Eagles with a six-
point bulge.
VanWert would tack on a 25-
yard field goal with just over a
minute to play to cap the first-half
scoring at 16-7 in favor of the
Golden Eagles.
Clarion took a page from the
Edinboro playbook to open the
second half. Just like the Scots
wasted little time in denting the
scoreboard in the first quarter, the
Eagles used a three-play, 66-yard
drive to extend their lead to 24-
13. The touchdown occurred
when Gardner scored on a six-
yard jaunt and Weibel found
Alvin Slaughter in the middle of
the end zone for the two-point
conversion.

'Wow could ypu

club when you did
not have a highway?"
Casey Stengel Testimony
This non-fiction artifact from
the public record is reproduced
periodically so each generation
of CUP students may vicariously
participate in our national pas-
time-giving testimony.
'The Grounds Keeper"
On July 9, 1958, hearings were
held in Washington by the
Subcommittee on. Antitrust and
Monopoly of the Committee of
the Judiciary of the United States
Senate. The Subcommittee was
considering H.R. 10378 and S.
4070 to limit anti-trust laws so as
to exempt professional baseball,
football, basketball, and hockey.
Before them as an expert witness
came Casey Stengel, whose ver-
bal cuneiform has added the
word "Stengelese" to our lan-
guage. They say there was noth-
ing like it, in all the history of
Congressional hearings.
Senator Kefauver: Mr. Stengel,
you are the manager of the New
York Yankees. Will you give us
very briefly your background and
your views about mis legislation?
Mr. Stengel: Well, I started in
professional ball in 1910. I have
been in professional ball, I would
say, for forty-eight years. I have
been employed by numerous ball
clubs in the majors and in the
minor leagues.
I started in the minor leagues
with Kansas City. I played as
low as Class D ball, which was at
Shelbyville, Kentucky, and also
Class C ball and Class A ball, and
I have advanced in baseball as a
ball player.
I had many years I was not so
successful as a ball player, as it is
a game of skill. And then I was
no doubt discharged by baseball
in which I had to go back to the
minor leagues as a manager, and
after being in the minor leagues
as a manager, I became a major
league manager in several cities
and was discharged, we call it
discharged because there was no
question I had to leave.
And I returned to the minor
leagues at Milwaukee, Kansas
City and Oakland, California,
and then returned to the major
leagues.
In the last ten years, naturally,
in major-league baseball with the
New York Yankees; the New
York Yankees have had tremen-
dous success, and while I am not
a ballplayer who does the work, I
have no doubt worked for a ball
club that is very capable in the
office.
I have been up and down the
ladder. I know there are some
things in baseball thirty-five to
fifty years ago that are better now
than they were in those days. In
those days, my goodness, you
could not transfer a ball club in
the minor leagues, Class D, Class
C ball, Class A ball.
How could you transfer a ball
club when you did not have a
highway? How could you trans-
fer a ball club when the railroad
then would take you to a town,
you got off and then you had to
wait and sit up five hours to go to
another ball club?
How could you run baseball
then without night ball?
You had to have night ball to
improve the proceeds, to pay
larger salaries, and I went to
work, the first year I received
$135 a month.
I thought that was amazing. I
had to put away enough money to
go to dental college. I found out it
was not better in dentistry. I
stayed in baseball. Any other
question you would like to ask
me?
Senator Kefauver: Mr. Stengel,
are you prepared to answer par-
ticularly why baseball wants this
bill passed?
Mr. Stengel: Well, I would have
to say at the present time, I think
that baseball has advanced in this
respect for the player help. That
is an amazing statement for me to
make, because you can retire
with an annuity at fifty and what

The Clarion University home-
coming is an event that is antici-
pated and feared by many stu-
dents and alumni. The excitement
builds as October rolls around
with the always enjoyed and very
badly needed mid-semester long
weekend. We all were able to see
students that have graduated and
are now in the "real world."
We were able to drink and be
merry after we returned some
books for money. And we got to
eat lots of ALF food (free for
some of us, right Kom?)
At my fraternity house, Phi
Sigma Kappa, we had our annual
pig roast. The pig was actually
cooked this year and not basted
in Aftershock by alumni. Many
alumni slept in our chapter room
all weekend; an event not to be
tried unless you want to be col-
ored with permanent marker and
covered with shaving cream. But
there were no major incidents,
and the dried-up shaving cream
will eventually come off of the
walls.
The fear comes into play with
most of the local fraternities and
sororities as the parade runs near.
The ever-hated but always
enjoyed float needs to be fin-
ished. It is a great time for bond-

we cannot wait to "work" with

Well, another ALF weekend has
come and gone, and we have sur-

now a two-foot ball of chicken

become clean again, although the
front yard may never recover.
And most of us are back in class

of our hangovers. Now we wait

Halloween. I hope everyone had
a great ALF and made some

gotten. That is, if you can remem-
ber them in the first place.

READER RESPONSE
"Miss Binick's words angered and
frustrated me."
After reviewing numerous
responses to Angeline Binick's
letter from October 1 which rep-
rimanded Koinonia's views, I
finally feel that I have been led to
the proper response with this let-
ter.
Miss Binick's words angered
and frusterated me. I am a
Christian and live what I believe
to be the Christian way of life
every day. However, we are all
human, and we all make mis-
takes. Yes, some of us still have
fears about homosexuals. I, too,
would like for everybody to care
about the rest of society, regard-
less of our various fears, profes-
sions, race, lifestyles, faith-based
choices, etc.
I do not mean that we need to
accept homosexuality or other
sinful lifestyles as right. I know
that the Lord has the power to
change sinners' lives. Does that
mean that he will change all of
them? No, but He cant Why? I
don't know why, and I never will
until the Lord decides to let me
know.
I apologize for others who may
be overzealous or self-righteous.
I do not know what was said by
the speakers at the Koinonia pre-
sentation about which Miss
Binick wrote. However, fellow
Christians, if you see or hear oth-
ers anywhere who are leading
anyone astray, please pull them
aside privately and inform them
politely of the correct message-
the one our maker wants us to
give.
I support the Disney boycott. I
am not anti-gay, but Christians
Letters to
the Editor
need to love all their neighbors
enough to share the Lord and His
love with them. We should not
support or encourage sinful
lifestyles, whatever they may be.
There are no faith-based rea-
sons for bigotry, which Miss
Binick seems to think is a docter-
ine of local Christian groups. I
came across two quotations
recently which I would like to
share. "Tolerance is a virtue of
people with no convictions," and
"The opposite of intolerance isn't
tolerance. It's love." We need to
love the sinners, not tolerate the
sins.
I invite all those out mere who
feel that something is missing in
their lives, or who are tired of
thin rationalizations for their pain
and emptiness, to find a church
that accepts them for who they
are and who they want to be. I
have a church, and I am there
every day when I'm with a broth-
er or sister in Christ. Although
I've always got one, more are
always appreciated and welcome.
It is a hard line to draw and even
a thinner line to walk. But when
your best friend is the Maker's
Son, it is difficult.
I would like to end this letter
with a wake up call to everyone.
Christians, too, are widely dis-
criminated against in this coun-
try, especially by the media and
the public. So, as you see, we're
really not that different.
Everybody has the right to
choose what they will believe
and how much love they will
give, whether it is regarding what
social movement is worth talking
about, or who to like and who not
to like.
I would like to say that humans
are humans, saved or unsaved.
We are not perfect and never will
be. However, our best is always
better than our worst. Spread
love, not hate, regardless of your
beliefs.
Sincerely,
Craig M. Dorn
"The administration takes advantage
of us on a constant daily basis."
Dear Editor,
I was just reading Adam
Warman's letter to the editor, and
I agree with him about every-
thing he said about the university.
This administration takes advan-
tage of us on a constant, daily
basis. I'm sure that if Mr.
Warman had received that little
yellow paper that was put on our
windshields today (about the new
parking regulations), he would
have included that in his letter.
How on earth can Public Safety
expect us to be patient and under-
standing with them when they do
not treat students in that manner?
Half the time they prowl the
parking lots, waiting for time to
be up on the parking meter. The
other half of the time is spent on
getting bent out of shape when
students make reasonable
requests (i.e. "please unlock the
building I work in", "I'd like to
pay for my "*ahem* parking
ticket in cash," etc.) And what's
the deal with ticketing us for
using a parking meter when there
is still time left on it, just because
we have a student parking permit
showing?!! Obviously, if we paid
,~. .— ~ i
money to park, then there must
not have been other viable spaces
open (no, we will NOT walk all
the way to the other side of the
campus from a remote parking
spot. ..remember, WE pay to
attend mis university...).
Also, I have worked in the
Reimer Snack Bar in the past, so
I am quite familiar with the
ridiculous over-pricing that goes
on there. At one point, they were
selling 24-packs of soda for
seven dollars and I thought that
was bad. The monopoly Daka has
on our campus meal plans needs

Muslim Student Association..."
*Please Note* This letter was
written last semester.
Dear Editor,
Featuring a one man dramatiza-
tion by minister Al Skaggs of
Deitrich Bonhoeffer's resistance
to the Nazis, a talk by visiting
scholar Dr. David Rabeeya, an
Iraqi Jew, a talk by Dr. Robert
Erickson on Christianity and the
Nazis, a book review by Dr.
Brian Dunn on Euthanasia in
Germany, and our traditional
"Unto Every Person There is a
Name" reading of the names of
the Holocaust victims, I am very
pleased to report that all events
were well received and well
attended.
As one of the coordinators of
the series, I want to thank so
many individuals and organiza-
tions without which the program
would not have been possible for
their support. I am especially
grateful to the Muslim Student
Association for their part in this
year's program. When we read
about KKK or the Neo-Nazis tar-
geting our area, it is very refresh-
ing to see the support generated
by a program like this at Clarion
and in the surrounding communi-

"We do not come up with excuses
and hang up on our customers."
Dear Editor,
I have noticed that many peo-
ple are criticizing Chandler
Dining Hall. I feel that more
attention should be put towards
the snack bar.
I don't know how many times I
have ordered something from
Gemmell, just to have it arrive
cold, not what I ordered, and at
least one hour late. I give them
about $100 a semester and I
know that other students do, too.
If we want to use our flex, we
have no choice. The management
at the Snack Bar knows this.
Today, I ordered some food from
Gemmell at 4:00 p.m. I had a
class at 5:00, but they assured me
that my food would arrive in a
half an hour. I have no clue when
it did arrive because I went run-
ning from my room at five min-
utes until six to class.
There have been numerous
other times where I did wait to
get my food. It always arrives
cold, and is not that good.
Moreover, just try to call and
complain. Last time I did this, the
person who claimed to be the
manager hung up on me. Usually
their response is, "Well, we are
understaffed and there is nothing
we can do."
I have been working as a pizza
delivery man for about two years.
We have a thing called customer
satisfaction. If you do not like
what we produce, we will replace
your food or refund your money.
We do not come up with excuses
and hang up on our customers.
But if our customers are dis-
pleased, then they will just call
somewhere else the next time
they order. As students, we do not
have that luxury.
Someone needs to sit down
with the employees of the snack
bar and remind them that they are
a business and we, the students,
pay their salary. I personally do
not like ordering from Gemmell
because of the long wait, the cold
food, and the cold management. I
hope that someday, they get com-
petition. Then maybe they will
have to try and make a decent
product and provide good cus-
tomer service to stay in business.
Sincerely,
Mike Waite

READER RESPONSE
organization in America allows
you lo retire at fifty and receive
money?
I want to further state that I am
not a ballplayer, that is, put into
that pension fund committee. At
my age, and I have been in base-
ball, well, I will say I am possibly
the oldest man who is working in
baseball. I would say that when
they start an annuity for the
ballplayers to better their condi-
tions, it should have been done,
and I think it has been done.
I think it should be the way they
have done it, which is a very
good thing.
The reason they possibly did
not take the managers in at that
time was because radio and tele-
vision or the income to ball clubs
was not large enough that you
could have put in a pension plan.
Now, I am not a member of the
penison plan. You have young
men here who are, who represent
the ball clubs.
They represent the players and
since I am not a member and
don't receive pension from a
fund which you think, my good-
ness, he ought to be declared that,
too, but I would say that is a great
thing for the ballplayers.
That is one thing I will say for
ballplayers, they have an
advanced pension fund. I should

think it was gained by radio and
television or you could not have
enough money to pay anything of
that type.
Now the second thing about
baseball that I think is very inter-
esting to the public or to all of us
that it is the owner's own fault if
he does not improve his club,
along with the officials in the ball
club and the players.
Now what causes that?
If I am going to go on the road
and we are a traveling ball club
and you know the cost of trans-
portation now-we travel some-
times with three Pullman coach-
es, the New York Yankees and
remember I am just a salaried
man, and do not own stock in the
New York Yankees. I found out
that in traveling with the New
York Yankees on the road and all,
that is the best, and we have bro-
ken records in Washington this
year, we have broken them in
every city but New York and we
have lost two clubs that have
gone out of the city of New York.
Of course, we have had some
bad weather, I would say that
they are mad at us in Chicago, we
fill the parks.
They have come out to see good
material. I will say they are mad
at us in Kansas City, but we
broke their attendance record.
Now on the road we only get
possibly 27 cents. I am not posi-
tive of these figures, as I am not
an official.
If you go back fifteen years or
so if I owned stock in the club I
would give them to you.
Senator Kefauver: Mr. Stengel,
I am not sure that I made my
question clear.
Mr. Stengel: Yes, sir. Well, that
is all right. I am not sure if I am
going to answer yours perfectly,
either.
Senator O'Mahoney: How
many minor leagues were there
in baseball when you began?
Mr. Stengel: Well, there were
not so many at mat time because
of this fact: Anybody to go into
baseball at that time with the edu-
cational schools that we had were
small, while you we.e probably
thoroughly educated at school,
you had to be-we only had small
cities that you culd put a team in
and they would go defunct.
Why, I remember the first year
I was at Kankakee, Illinois and a
bank offered me $550 if I would
let them have a little notice. I left
there and took a uniform because
they owed me two weeks' pay.
But I either had to quit but I did
not have enough money to go to
dental college so I had to go with
the manager down to Kentucky.
This past summer, my girl-
friend Stacy and I were waiting
in line at a minature golf course.
The kid in front of us, roughly 17
years of age, turned and said,
"What does that mean?" He was
referring to the Greek letters on
my chest. I responded, "It's my
fraternity, Sigma Pi."
"I guess you drink a lot of
beer," was his response.
I honestly believe that when
students, university faculty, and
the Clarion public see an individ-
ual wearing Greek letters, their
thoughts are very similar. For
those of you that presume this,
unfortunately for you that is not
the situation.
The Greek fraternity system at
Clarion has remained the top
community service working body
on campus, and is still progres-
sively increasing. This semester,
the Interfratemity Council (IFC)
has adopted the Salvation Army
as its philanthropy, with Kappa
Delta Rho's Mitch Augustine
managing the operation. The
hours, dedicated to this organiza-
tion this year will help make
profits for Clarion. Also, many
other organizations benefit from
the Greek fraternities on this
campus. For instance, Sigma Chi
raises money for Children's
Miracle Network, Kappa Delta
Rho supports the American
Cancer Society, Sigma Tau

Gamma represents BACCHUS,
and Sigma Pi dedicates its efforts
to the American Red Cross.
This semester, the IFC has also
put into effect an Accreditation
Program that was approved by
President Diane Reinhard. This
program was developed by IFC
president, Chris Monaco and the
IFC executive board. It will
assure the university that the fra-
ternities will continue to be
involved in community service
efforts, will maintain a 2.5 GPA,
will join together in Greek rela-
tions, and most importantly, regu-
late alcohol consumption on cam-
pus.
The IFC works diligently to min-
imize risks involved with alchohol
by raising alchohol awareness
through sponsored programs and
various speakers. The IFC also
curves binge drinking on the
Clarion campus with a six member
alcohol awareness committee,
which is chaired, by Sigma Chi's
Bud Bender.
It is just a shame that all the hard
work done by the Greek system in
Clarion is overshadowed by some
fraternity in Louisiana,
Massachusetts, or IUP that messed
up. Don't pass the buck to us,
because we are in no way, shape,
or form the same Greeks that
appear on 20/20.
So, next time you see me or any
other individual wearing Greek let-
ters, remember that we are not a
bunch of alcoholics. Rather, we are
one of the strongest parts of the
backbone of this institution.
What happened there was if you
got by July, that was the big date,
you did not play night ball and
you did not play Sundays in half
of the cities on account of a
Sunday observance, so in those
days when things were tough,
and all of it was, I mean to say,
why they just closed up July 4
and there you were sitting in the
depot.
You could go to work some-
place else, but that was it.
So I got out of Kankakee,
Illinois, and I just go there for a
visit now.
Senator Carroll: The question
Senator Kefauver asked you was
what, in your honest opinion,
with your forty-eight years of
experience, is the need for this
legislation in view of the fact that
baseball has not been subject to
antitrust laws?
Mr. Stengel: No.
Senator Langer: Mr. Chairman,
my final question. This is the
Antimonopoly Committee that is
sitting here.
Mr. Stengel: Yes, sir.
Senator Langer: I want to know
whether you intend to keep on
monopolizing the world's cham-
pionship in New York City.
Mr. Stengel: Well, I will tell you.
I got a little concern yesterday in
the first three innings when I saw
the three players I had gotten rid
of. I said when I lost nine what
am I going to do and when I had
a couple of my players I thought
so great of that did not do so good
up to the sixth inning I was more
confused but I finally had to go
and call on a young man in
Baltimore that we don't own and
the Yankees don't own him, and
he is doing pretty good, and I
would actually have to tell you
that I think we are more the Greta
Garbo type now from success.
We are being hated, I mean,
from the ownership and all, we
are being hated. Every sport that
gets too great or one individual-
but if we made 27 cents and it
pays to have a winner at home,
why would not you have a good
winner in your own park if you
were an owner?
That is the result of baseball. An
owner gets most of the money at
home and it is up to him and his
staff to do better or they ought to
be discharged.
Senator Kefauver: Thank you
very much, Mr. Stengel. We
appreciate your presence here.
Mr. Mickey Mantle, will you
come around? ...Mr. Mantle, do
you have any observations with
reference to the applicability of
the antitrust laws to baseball?
Mr. Mantle: My views are about
the same as Casey's.

State System approves a $448 million appropriation request
TUition increase 'likely' for 1999-2000
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
Students who attend one of the
14 State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) institutions
will most likely see a tuition
increase next year, according to
SSHE press secretary Kenn
Marshall.
"We're looking at an increase of
somewhere between two and four
percent right now," he said.
Earlier reports from the
Associated Press that stated a 3.5
percent increase was planned
were false, Marshall said.
"We cannot crunch the numbers
until negotiations (with APSCUF)
begin and look at further cost
reductions," he added.
The Board of Governors of the
SSHE will seek a state appropria-
tion of almost $448.3 million,
which will be used to help fund
the operation of the 14 state-
owned schools.
The SSHE's overall proposed
educational and general budget
for the 1999-2000 school year
totals $926.5 million. More than
half of that budget would come
from student tuition and other
required fees. This total repre-
sents a 4.2 percent increase over
the current operating budget.
However, Marshall admitted,
"That percentage could come
down."
The 4.2 percent works out to
over $37 million more than this
year's budget. One of the major
reasons for the increase is to han-
dle negotiations with the
Association of Pennsylvania State
College and University Faculties
(APSCUF), which represents the
SSHE's almost 5,500 university
professors.
"We also have negotiations in
Harrisburg with four other
unions," Marshall said. "Salaries
and other personnel costs make up
80 percent of the operating bud-
get."
The increase is also needed to
help support new facilities that are
opening on other SSHE campus-
es. Marshall mentioned a new
library will be opening at
Bloomsburg, a new Science and
Technology Building is open at
California University, and con-
struction will be complete on a
building
at
new science
Millersville.
"Operating costs are also up and
we also are working to make tech-
nology upgrades, which are two
more reasons for the increase,"
Marshall said.
The Board of Governors is seek-
ing an increase of about $23.5
million from the state in funding
next year, or 5.5 percent.
For the current academic year,
the State increased funding five
percent.
"We were already committed to
freezing tuition and it left us with
a $10 million gap," he said. "We
asked the universities to cut their
budgets and as a result some pro-
jects and hirings did not get
done."
Marshall said that half of the
funding for the SSHE comes from
the State, and the remainder
comes from tuition.
"Right now, we're looking at
between a two to four percent gap
and we need a tuition increase to
close that gap," he said.
"It's too early to tell right now
just what die increase will be," he
added.
The next step for the SSHE
Board of Governors is to hear
what Governor Ridge has pro-
posed in his budget. That
announcement will be made
sometime in February.
Appropriations hearings will
take place at the state capital in
late February or early March.
"We'll know then how the
Legislature stands," Marshall
said. "Any changes to our budget
won't be known until the state
budget is passed."
Normally, the tuition rate is set
at the July meeting of the Board of
Governors. "The Legislature has
until June 30 to pass their state
budget, and we can't set a rate
until that budget has been
approved."
Marshall doesn't hold out hope
that the SSHE will see that 5.5
percent increase from the state.
"Maybe Governor Ridge will be
generous this year, but it isn't very
likely," he said.
The current tuition rate is $3,468
per academic year for
Pennsylvania students. A four
percent hike would raise the rale
by around $140, Marshall said.

Senator Naqeeb Hussain noted
that currently the area in question
is a parking lot, and he inquired as

Haberaecker said that the two
parking decks are proposed. The
second deck planned will be
located where Lot W currently is.

decks are planned in the 20-year share a parking lot and developing
University.
Those themes are: unification of
the campus, reduce
pedestrian/ vehicular conflicts,
create a "campus heart," improve
housing quality and diversity,
improve recreational opportuni-
ties, maximize adaptability, set
phasing priorities, and improve
the community "interface."
Slides were also used to list pro-
jects to be completed during the
three phases of the plan.
Haberaecker said that some of
the projects slated for the first five
years, such as construction of the
new Student Recreation Center
and consolidation of the
Communication Sciences and
document.
One such parking facility is
planned for the area of Parking
Lot R, located behind Public
Safety and the grounds building.
Haberaecker said the estimated of
this parking deck is $6 million.
Haberaecker said the plan iden-
tified five major parking guide-
lines. The first guideline is estab-
lishing parking as a fiscally inde-
pendent function. "Basically, it
specific lot designations based on
"zonal use analysis." She said,
"It (zonal use analysis) deter-
mines where faculty park in rela-
tion to where they need to be."
Student housing is an important
part of the Master Plan.
The plan gives details for the
demolition of both the Haskell
and Alumni Houses in order to
build a residence hall along Wood
St. The demolition of those two
means that parking will pay for buildings is scheduled for some-
ltself, she said. time this summer.
The next parking guideline is , The current design of the resi-
addressing issues of fairness or dence hall calls for apartment-
equity to access and distribution type housing. This was noted as a
of parking spaces. Another point way to improve the diversity of
is eliminating parking from the student housing.
construction projects
Heidler said that on larger pro-
jects that affect academic build-
ings, the Commonwealth
Department of General Services
(DGS) has their own set of criteria
when looking at bid specifica-
tions.
For auxiliary or smaller projects,
he said that there are several pro-
visions that CU looks at when
awarding the contract.
Those provisions include expe-
rience, safeguards, and a look at
the internal financial standards of
the company making a bid.
"After all the specifications are
met, it (the contract) goes to the
low bidder," Heidler said.
Other Master Plan presentations
are scheduled in upcoming weeks.

Clarion Call News Editor
Ten members of the Lift Every
Voice Gospel Choir have more to

first phase of
Master Plan
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
During the Master Plan pre-
sentation to Student Senate
Monday, the three phases of the
Master Plan and the projects
proposed for each phase were
announced.
Phase One of the plan details
projects to be done within the
next five years.
Projects for Phase One:
♦Renovations to Founders Hall
and Harvey Hall
♦Renovation and expansion of
Carlson Library
♦Construction of the Student
Recreation Center
♦Conversion of Davis Hall to
accommodate English and
modern languages departments
♦Consolidation of CSD into
central location at Keeling
Health Center
♦Phase 1 of renovation to Peirce
Science Center
♦Move of the University
Advancement office to the
second floor of Moore Hall
♦Construction of a new student
residence hall
♦Re-use of the ground floor of
Becht Hall
Dr. Heather Haberaecker, vice
president for finance and
administration, said that bids
should come back to the
University in December on
Harvey Hall, and work should
begin on that building sometime
in the spring.
Work on the $14 million
Carlson Library renovation and
expansion project is scheduled
to start in fall 1999.
Another project of priority is
preliminary work on Peirce
Science Center. A $2 million
improvement is needed to the
heating, ventilation, air condi-
tioning, and electrical systems
to keep the building operating.
"We desperately need to do
something with our science
building," Haberaecker said.
Other plans are in the works
for Peirce, but they don't appear
hi the Master Plan until the 5 to
10 year phase.
According to Dr. Joseph
Grunenwald, chair of the
Facilities Planning Committee,
the early "cost estimates for
implementing the Master Plan
run between $75 million and
$100 million.

Faculty Senate
Changes proposed to academic calendar
by Angela Everly
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Dr. Jocelind Gant and Dr. Joe
Thomas addressed equity for fac-
ulty members, staff, and students
of Clarion University at Monday's
Faculty Senate meeting.
Gant, assistant to the president
for social equity, described An
Equity Plan: In Pursuit of
Community. One of the funda-
mentals of the plan is to recognize
equity and diversity as hallmarks
of academic excellence.
Thomas, chair of the
Presidential Commission on
Affirmative Action, spoke about
diversity of ideas and better repre-
sentation of equity. They both
stressed a sense of community on
campus and a welcoming of
diversity.
Academic Standards committee
chair, Dr. Ralph Leary, reported
that the admissions and athletics
subcommittees will be organizing
a meeting this week.
Dr. Elizabeth MacDaniel, chair
of the Committee on Courses and
Programs of Study (CCPS),
announced that open hearings are
now going to be held. These hear-
ings will be used for faculty to
make any curriculum changes or
curricula proposals.
In other business, Senate tabled
discussions concerning the acade-
mic calendar for the 2000-2001
school year. Discussion focused
on combining the two breaks of
the spring semester.
A proposal was made to cut the
length of Easter break to only one
day off instead of four and adding
the three days to the Winter
Holiday. Student Affairs
Committee chair Dr. Doug Smith
said he is also looking into short-
ening breaks so the school year
could end earlier.
Institutional Resources
Committee chair Dr. Peter Dalby
presented Faculty Senate with
information concerning the status
of the first phase of Master Plan
projects. The paper lists the reno-
vations to buildings and reloca-
tions of various academic depart-
ments from now until January
2002.
Dr. Hallie Savage, chair of
Faculty Affairs Committee, said
there will be a faculty retirement
reception in May.
Also during the meeting, Senate
approved a motion by Ms. Anita
Hall, chair of the Venango
Campus Committee, to take their

O-I contributes $50,000 to CU campaign
by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call
Assistant Managing Editor
The Investing in Futures Capital
Campaign at Clarion University
has received a $50,000 contribu-
tion from Owens-Illinois
Company.
This contribution completes the
Venango Call to Action phase as
part of the overall Investing in
Futures Campaign.
The Owens-Illinois contribution
helped complete the Venango
Campaign for the support of the
renovations of Montgomery Hall
at the Venango campus.
It also helped establish a new
scholarship endowment fund.
"We are extremely pleased with
the campaign support we have
received from area businesses and
Owens exemplifies the support
necessary to meet and exceed our
Investing in Futures Campaign
goal of $8 million," said Harry
Tripp, vice president for universi-
ty advancement.
The recenUy completed
Montgomery Hall renovation
reaffirms Clarion University's
commitment to remain responsive
to the educational needs of the
region.
It is hoped that classes will
expand between the Clarion
Venango campuses through the
distance education program. The
building now serves as a techno-
logical resource center for the
region.
"We are happy to make this con-
tribution on behalf of all employ-
ees in Clarion, Jefferson, and Erie
counties who have benefited from
the educational programs and
opportunities at Clarion
University," stated Joseph H.
Lemieux, Owens-Illinois
Chairman and CEO.
The renovations are hoped to
connect area high schools, higher
educational councils, and others
sites in the northwestern region.
The $8 million Investing in
Futures Campaign supports sever-
al areas which include renova-
tions of Founders Hall and
Harvey Hall on Clarion's main
campus and Montgomery Hall at
Venango campus in Oil City.
These renovations are part of
Pennsylvania's Shared-Funded
Capital Projects program
announced in 1992.
The state program provides 75
percent state funding for capital
projects previously approved by
the Commonwealth. Clarion
University must raise 25 percent
of the original projected costs.
A majority of scholarship
awards made by the Foundation
are funded through annual contri-
butions and must be endowed to
ensure future viability.
This year $2.1 million was
awarded for scholarship endow-
ments. Additional endowed
scholarships allow greater support
of university programs through
annual contributions.
Additionally, $2.5 million was
granted for annual fund-supported
scholarships and a variety of cam-
pus projects and programs. As the
fund continues to grow there will
be a greater flexibility to respond
to campus needs.
Also, $400,000 was endowed to
cultural series which will provide
permanent funding necessary to
recruit prominent and cultural
speakers which will relate with
the students needs on campus.
As the University continues with
the 20 year Master Plan for
Clarion University and its branch
campuses, the funding from such
programs will be used for further
advancement at the University
level, Tripp said.

Clarion Borough Council
Residents upset over
Animal Nuisance La
by Mike Markewinski
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Clarion Borough Council
members expressed their con-
cerns over the county commis-
sioners' plans to add parking
spaces onto Liberty Street behind
the old jail.
The discussion continued for
twenty minutes over the expan-
sion of the parking lot. Chief
assessor Robert Lieberum
approached the council to get
their reaction to the plans, and in
turn faced an overwhelming
majority willing to vote the plan
down.
The plan calls for fourteen
spaces to be built on the bor-
ough's right of way and includes
designs for a proposed human
resources office building to be
constructed by the old jail.
While the dispute over parking
raged on, residents voiced their
concerns over the new Animal
Nuisance Law.
The law, approved by Council
Tuesday, came after concerns
from the Clarion Canine
Obedience Club.
Representatives from the club
approached council with their
questions on the law, which they
say is very vague.
Jeannie Moore, a club member,
noted that the law would prohibit
a child from carrying a hamster to
school.
Council assured the residents
that the law would not affect the
children.
The law states that pet owners
need to control their animals and
prevent accumulation of feces.
Those who walk animals will
also be required to have some
way of cleaning up after the ani-
mal.
Exotic animals, excluding any-
thing other than a dog or cat, are
prohibited from the central busi-
ness district.
In addition, dogs and cats are
banned from special events, such
as the Autumn Leaf Festival and
sporting events.
Violation of the law will result
in a $100 fine or five days in jail.
In other borough council news,
Council president Ron Wilshire
criticized county maintenance
following the proposal of con-
structing new buildings when old
buildings begin to deteriorate and
in need of repair.
The Clarion Borough Council
meets the first Tuesday of every
month in the basement of the
Clarion Free Library, located on
Main St. This month's meeting
was pushed back a week because
of the Autumn Leaf Festival,
which was going on all of last
week.

More financial aid given to
Clarion students this year
More green for students
by Mike Markewinski
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Clarion University students
who receive financial aid saw an
increase this semester.
The raise in aid was a result of
the federal and state governments
raising the maximum amount of
aid available to students.
According to Ken Grugel,
Director of Financial Aid, "77.7
percent of students are receiving
some type of aid which boils
down to 4,705 students out of
nearly 5,900 atttending."
Since 1994, students who
receive aid have seen their aid
increase nearly 2 percent.
Financial Aid can be broken
down into Stafford Loans, a
Federal Pell Grant, a PHEAA
State Grant, Scholarships, Federal
Work Study, Supplemental
Opportunity Grant and State Work
Study.
"Another reason that students
noticed an increase was a result of
the tuition not increasing,"
Grugel said.
While room and board may have
increased, so did the interest in
new programs.

One such program entitled
"Keystone Smiles" is a reading-

dents in the college of Education
and Human Services participate in
by visiting local area schools and
help a child with reading.
Grugel said, "This program has
helped to increase student
employment, which in turn, helps
the financial aid."
A new program slated to be
implemented in spring 1999 is the
H.O.P.E. Grant which comprises
of a tax credit and pays the first
$1500 for the beginning two years
of college.
Any student is eligible for finan-
cial aid. To become eligible, stu-
dents must fill out a Free
Application for Financial Student
Aid(FAFSA).

Clarion University has been
awarded $1.1 million by the
United States Department of
Education to continue its
Educational Talent Search pro-
gram for the next four years.
Only 362 Educational Talent
Search programs were funded
nationwide through this compet-
itive process. Clarion
University's program will begin
with $284,738 for 1998-1999.
Participants for the program
are based on income guidelines
and from students whose parents
don't have baccalaureate
degrees.
The Educational Talent Search
services include: providing acad-
emic advice and assistance in
secondary school as well as col-
lege selection, assisting in
preparing for entrance exams
and completing college admis-
sion and financial aid applica-
tions.
The program gives direction on
the re-entry of secondary school
or entry to other programs.
Instruction in learning and
study skills, personal and career
consulting along with trips to
two and four year campuses,
career sites and cultural events
are included in the program ser-
vices.
The means used to provide
these services are in-school and
after-school programs, educa-
tional/cultural enrichment, finan-
cial aid programs, parent support
component and young adult ser-
vices.
There are twelve targeted
school districts for Clarion's pro-
gram. The districts are
Allegheny-Clarion Valley,
Clarion Area, Clarion-
Limestone, Keystone, North
Clarion, Redbank Valley, Union
in Clarion; and Cranberry,
Franklin, Oil City, Valley Grove,
and Titusville in Venango.

Concert review
Blues Traveler rocks Clarion
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
On Tuesday night, a quick
look inside the Tippin Gym
would reveal long-haired
teenagers dancing with mid-
dle-aged women, a burly man
in overalls pumping his fist in
the air, and hundreds of people
cheering wildly. Blues
Traveler just has that effect on
people.
Roughly 1000 concertgoers
packed Tippin to see a rare
intimate-setting performance
from Blues Traveler, whose
H.O.R.D.E. Festival was one
of the most successful concert
packages of this past summer.
Even though the band could
have viewed their Clarion gig
as an easy paycheck and deliv-
ered a half-hearted show,
Blues Traveler put on a jam-
heavy show that people will no
doubt be talking about for a
long time to come.
The opening act, Michael
Parrish Band, had enough
rhythm to get the audience
moving but their set was ulti-
mately forgettable. The high
point of their act came when
one of the band members
broke into a high-spirited
dance at the front of the stage,
much to the delight of the
crowd. His dancing provided
a momentary jolt of excite-
ment that the band's set was
otherwise lacking.
Blues Traveler recieved a
huge ovation when they took
the stage, the first of many
they would hear that night.
The cheers continued when
they launched into their hit
single "But Anyway."
Unfortunately, auJio prob-
lems buried lead singer John
Popper's voice for almost the
entire first hour and was diffi-
cult to hear for mjch of the
show.
Throughout the entire
evening, Blues Traveler
appeared to be having a great
time on stage, especially gui-
tarist Chan Kinchla.
Highlights of the show includ-
ed a special cover of Steve
Miller's classic "The Joker."
It should be noted that some
concergoers who were unfa-
miliar with Blues Traveler's
music aside from their top-40
hits seemed confused by the
performance. Those who
were expecting a three-hour
show of radio-friendly hits no
doubt were left dissapointed

they did not play their Top 40
hit "Hook". Despite repeated
chanting from audience mem-
bers, "Hook was not included
in their set.
Despite Blues Traveler's
occasionally overdone jam
sessions, their performance
was fantastic. The biggest
cheers of the show came dur-
ing an acoustic set, when
Popper and the boys played
"Runaround." The audience
sang the entire song with
Popper and gave a thunderous
ovation after "Runaround"
ended.
Popper's harmonica skills
were simply incredible when
experienced live. Blues
Traveler's lead singer has
played every imaginable
instrument from 12-string gui-
tars to 12-gauge shotguns, but
is the most impressive of all
when he goes ballistic on his
harp.
The concert ended with a
longstanding Blues Traveler
tradition, as the band threw
harmonicas into the crowd.
Drummer Brendan Hill also
got into the act, tossing his
drum sticks to the eager fans.
Hundreds of people clam-
ored to catch Hill's drum
sticks, cheering and clapping
as the band left the stage.
Although this may be a worn-
out cliche\ it truly felt like
one of the moments rock V

SNL star entertains Clarion
Darrell Hammond performs
at CUP
by Jeff Say -
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
Saturday Night Live star
Darrell Hammond tickled
Clarion's funny bone last
Thursday. I had a chance to
interview the comic before his
performance and find out a little
more about his perspective on
the Clinton scandal and life at
Saturday Night Live.
Clarion Call: One of your best
known characters is The
President. Since you've met
Darrell Hammond
President Clinton and portray
him often, do you have a differ-
ent view on the scandal?
Darrell Hammond: "I think
what Clinton did was stupid, but
he couldn't resist. The
Republicans remind me of
pirates jumping ship with knives
in their mouths. It's like a gang
war at the expense of the coun-
try. Portraying the President is so
much larger than life, and he's so
larger than life, it's hard to
expiain."
CC: How do you prepare for
your skits of the president?
DH: "It's hard to parody
something that's so unreal to
begin with."
CC: What SNL alumni have
influenced you the most?
DH: "Eddie Murphy and Dan
Akroyd are two that had an
influence on me becaue they
were sketch players like me and
both did stand-up before SNL."
CC: You are best known for
your impersonations on SNL.
How long have you been doing
impressions?
DH: "Actually , when SNL
signed me I wasn't even doing
impersonations in my stand-up
act anymore."
CC: How was the transition
from stand-up to SNL?
DH: "I don't think that any
shock could be greater than the
switch from stand-up to SNL."
CC: How stressful is SNLt
DH: "I think the theory is, why
we do only two weeks in a row
is because the emotional stress is
enough and we do enough mate-
rial for four shows in one week"
CC: Is there a lot of improvi-
sation during the show?
DH: "There's a lot of improv
leading up to 11:30 on Saturday
night but not during the show,
that would be unfair to the other
actors.
CC: You play a wide range of
characters, which ones are your
favorites?
DH: "The one's they give me,
Clinton and Ted Koppel are two
of my favorites."

Hometown concert
Katherine Farnham
«
brings it home
by Kelly Palma
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The mood of the Captain
Loomis Inn was unlike anything
I had ever seen before. The room
was brightly lit and soft ballads
could be heard playing in the
background. What was going
on? Was I in the right place?
Then all of a sudden the lights
dim and Katherine Farnham
takes the stage. The crowd is
silenced for a few short
moments, while Farnham is
introduced. She returned to
Clarion especially for this one
night engagement to showcase
her musical abilities as a singer,
songwriter, and pianist.
During the hour set, Farnham
performed songs from her
upcoming CD, For The Love Of
It AH, as well as pop, jazz and
blues songs. Among those per-
formed were: You can Have My
Husband, but Please Don't
Mess With My Man, traditional
blues, I'll Be There, by the
Jackson 5; My Heart WUI Go
On, by Celine Dion; and I
Believe, by Katherine Farnham.
I Believe was inspired by Patti
LaBelle. Farnham tried unsuc-
cessfully many times to get
LaBelle to record it. A friend
finaly told Farnham that maybe
she was supposed to record the
song. As things ended up, I
Believe is one of the main tracks
on Fambam's new CD.
Some patrons of the Loomis
were delightfully surprised by
the music. Two such students,
Ken Pruitt and Don Ursich had
this to say, "It's pony bottle
night... we didn't know there was
gonna be a concert...it was a
pleasant surprise." Others came
for the live music, "I like to hear
people livc.the sound makes all
the difference," said Pat
McGroarty. Special Ed Major
Robin Shanafelt had nothing but
praise for Farnham, "I thought
she was really good... the Titanic
song was beautiful."
For Famham's fans who are
under twenty-one, don't despair,
she is planning on adding a show
on campus or at a local hot spot
next year.
FawiifSB started singing at the
age of five, and has been singing
professionally for 11 years.
Some of recent appearances
include the Hard Rock Cafe' in
Boston, Massachusetts and being
chosen to sing the National
Anthem at a Florida Marlins
game.
Over lunch I had the chance to
chat with Farnham about a vari-

ety of subjects. Some of the
things we spoke of included
music, dreams, influences, and
love. Her musical influences
include: Teena Marie, Celine
Dion, Barbara Striesand, Mariah
Carey, Whitney Houston, Stevie
Wonder, Sting, Paula Cole, Tori
Amos, and George Michael.
Farnham stated "Mainly all the
diva's." Among her dreams, two
Grammy Awards, a house in
France, and the artistic freedom
to do what she wishes with her
music. In the subject of love,
Farnham kept her lips tightly
sealed, saying only that she
would love a wedding in Boston,
but cautioned that it was a long
way off.
When asked why she came
back to Clarion, Farnham stated,
'To see my family and friends
and do a performance for my
hometown crowd." One Senior
Communications Major certainly
agrees with her. "It was nice to
see someone from Clarion finally
get out and make something of
themselves and bring something
back to the community," said
Charlie Desch.

marches ALF
out the door
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
So, where on Earth can you
find all of the following at once:
five local chapters of Zem Zem
Shriners on motorcycles and go-
carts, dignitaries in Humvees,
fifteen marching bands, adorable
little kids in Lego costumes, and
a bizarre tribute to the vision of
the Virgin Mary at Fatima? Why
Clarion of course! Yes, Saturday
10 October saw the annual
Autumn Leaf Festival roar
through the downtown streets of
Clarion.
As a break from tradition, this
year's special guests (including
KDKA-2's anchor Jennifer
Antkowiak and meteorologist
Larry Richert) were carried
down the route in Humvee jeeps
(rather than convertable
Cadillacs) and the nine
Homecoming Court couples
rode in brand new Ford pick-ups.
At noon, the fun began, with
the Pennsylvania Highway
Patrol's mounted color guard
and a regiment of American
Veterans carrying a gigantic
American flag. But the patriotic
fun wasn't over yet; the Clarion
Women's rugby team was next,
carrying a flag nearly as big as
the Veterans'. Next down the
street was the Clarion Marching
Blue and Gold, who stopped and
played a few selections for the
Alumni gathered across from
Hart Chapel. Keeping up with
the band was also the Clarion
Cheerleaders and Dance Team.
And then came the Humvees.
Leading the way were ALF
Chairmen Carol Lapinto, Gale
Owen, and Barney Knorr. Also
honored with a Humvee ride
were Grand Marshall Jeff
Verszyla (also of KDKA-2),
President Diane Reinhard,
KDKA's visitors, and the march-
ing members of the Veterans of
Foriegn Wars. Other dignitaries
included: Float Judges Carm
Dunkerly, Bob Carbaugh and
Fran Shope, City Chamber
President Matthew Lerch,
Honorary Grand Marshall and
children's author Susan Lowell,
winner of the 1998

begins October 30 for interested
volunteers. The Peer Tutoring
Program, which was launched
last spring by Miss Amy Cutner-
Klinger, is now run by Mr.

of Campell Hall and Darlene
Hartle. Presentations include
discussions on safe sex, stress,
and anxiety.
Affiliated with the Baccus and
Gamma Peer Education
Network based in Denver,
Colorado, the program is open to
anybody. Interested people will

Upon completion of the train-
ing course, the Peer Educators
will hold presentations in the
residence halls, encompassing a
wide variety of topics. If you
are interested, they can be
reached Monday nights at 8:30
p.m. in Keeling Health Center.
Mr. Critten hopes to expand

Participation in campus activi-
ties is being rewarded this
semester with the return of the
Road R.A.L.L.Y. program.
After striking student interest in
years past, the Office of
Residence Life is again homing
drawings for various prizes
awarded to those who have
entered the raffle.
R.A.L.L.Y. (Resedence
Activities - Living, Learning,
and You) is a relatively new pro-
gram, encouraging growth and
development of residence stu-
dents. Students are encouraged
to explore social, intellectual,
spiritual, physical, emotional,
occupational, and culturally
diverse activities. All students
living in residence halls recieve
one Road R.A.L.L.Y. ticket for
each approved campus event or
activity they attend. Between
7:00 and 12:00 p.m., they may
turn in their tickets to a staff
member at the front desk of their
hall to become eligible for
prizes.
There is a total of five
R.A.L.L.Y. drawings throughout
the semester. Prizes include
mountain bikes, $200 gift cer-
tificates for the university book
store, portable CD. players, and
gift certificates for various local
stores including Chinatown and
Vinnies. During the first draw-
ing on September 29, Blues
Traveler tickets were also given
away.
Future drawings will be held
on October 24, October 28,
November 23, and December 3
at programs including UAB-
sponsored "Serial Killers" and
Comedian Bob Tussel. Mary
Walters, Assistant to the Dean of
Student Life Services, helped
launch the Road R.A.L.L.Y., but
has now turned it over to Mr.
Ralph Critten RD of Campell
Hall. He hopes to "improve the
program with more drawings
and prizes" as well as ".give res-
idence students a positive expe-
rience each fall."
Although R.A.L.L.Y. has been
successful in attracting resi-
dence students to events, Critten
hopes that new students learn
from them and become more
aware of the community they
live in. He expects people "to
take full advantage of the
events" and "take what they
have learned and apply it with
interaction with their peers, job,
and family life."

It's a guy thing
Domestic Tips from guys
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist
Todays topic is: Domestic tips
from Guys.
Guys do not get enough credit
for being domestic. This is
because the people who give
OUT the credits for being
domestic are — not to generalize
or anything — women.
Women tend to believe that
domestic things should be done
in a certain way, defined as "not
the way guys do them." I have a
perfect example of this type of
thinking in the form of a letter
received from a woman named
Karen in Portland, Ore., who
does not approve of the way her
fiancee handles his dirty dishes.
Here's how he handles them: He
puts them in the refrigerator.
Now I can hear you women
asking: "Why?" But I bet most
guys immediately grasped the
reason, which is: If you put dirty
dishes in the sink, after a couple
of days they get moldy; whereas
in the cold, airtight environment
of the refrigerator, mold takes
much longer to develop. Karen
says her fiancee does not actual-
ly wash the dishes "until (a) he
runs out of dishes; or (b) his
refrigerator gets full."
Fortunately, he has a lot of room
in the refrigerator, because,
Karen states, "he hates to go
grocery shopping." She also
notes, for the record, that "he
has a dishwasher that works per-
fectly fine."
"I'm wondering," Karen wrote,
"if we should just ask for an
extra refrigerator for a wedding
gift."
My feeling is, no. It makes far
more sense to get a freezer. Not
only will a freezer hold a lot
more dirty dishes than a refriger-
ator, but, thanks to the lower
temperature, these dishes can
remain relatively mold-free in
there forever. This will leave
Karen's guy with more time for
other domestic chores, such as
laundering his underwear in the
dishwasher, unless that is where
he keeps his canned goods.
Speaking of which, what this
nation needs is an Institute of
Guy Domestic Research, where
guy scientists wearing white lab-
oratory coats stained with Cheez
Whiz would conduct experi-
ments to answer household
(questions that concern guys,
such as: If you leave your used
underwear in the freezer for a
week, is that as good as launder-
ing it? Or should you also splash
a little Old Spice on it, just to be
safe?)
But getting back to my main
point: Guys, are sometimes
accused of not having a domes-
tic "flair" just because they tend
to accessorize a room with used
pizza boxes. But there are exam-
ples of guys coining up with
decorative "touches" that
Martha Stewart would never
conceive of even with the aid of
world-class narcotics.
For example, I have here a fasci-
nating newspaper article sent in
by alert pastor Pete Beckstrand
of the Zion and Franklin
Lutheran Churches of Viroqua,
Wis. This article, which I swear
I am not making up, is from the
VANDYKE'S 5th AVENUE
Sept. 26, 1996, edition of — get
ready for an excellent newspaper
name — the Vernon County
Broadcaster. It concerns a local
resident named Mervin Langve
who, according to the article,
"discovered a slice of toast in an
old-time toaster... in an old cook-
stove." He realized that the toast
was made from bread baked by
his mother; thus, as the article
states, "Mervin determined that
the toast is 36 years old."
I am telling you right now what
a woman would have done if she
had found a piece of toast older
than all three Hanson brothers
combined, and even older than
some Christmas fruitcakes: She
would, using tongs, throw the
toast away, then throw the tongs
away, then get out her industrial
disinfectant and violently scrub
the entire house as well as sever-
al neighboring houses. But that
is not what Mervin Langve did.
According to the Vernon
Country Broadcaster, he
"mounted this piece of toast on a
breadboard he now has hanging
in his kitchen." The Vernon
County Broadcaster states that it
makes for "a very attractive
keepsake."
I called Mr. Langve, and he
told me that the toast is still on
his wall and looking as good as
ever, despite the fact that he has
never put any kind of preserva-
tive on it.
I asked him if visitors think
his wall decoration is unusual.
"They sure do," he said. "They
can't hardly believe it."
I bet they can't. And I happen
to think that — despite the fact
that this entire story has been
ignored by so-called major
newspapers such as the so-
called New York Times —
Mervin Langve has broken
important new interior-decor
ground with the concept of
wall-mounted heirloom foods.
Think of the possibilities! ("...
and on this wall is the actual
meal that Uncle Walter was eat-
ing when he passed away; you
can see his forehead impression
in the mashed potatoes.")
So let's not say that guys are
not domestic, OK? When we
see a guy who makes drapes by
nailing trash bags over his win-
dows, let's remember that he
might have a legitimate domes-
tic reason, such as that he ran
out of duct tape. Let's be* fair;
let's be open-minded. And
above all, let's remember to let
our underwear thaw before we
put it on.

Octoberl5/1998 -
A different view of Autumn Leaf Festival
by Jason Rhoades
Clarion Call Staff Writer
I experience Autumn Leaf
Festival differently than most of
you reading this article, because
I happen to be visually
impaired. I use other senses to
experience the world, such as:
hearing, sense of smell, and
sense of touch. When ALF is in
town things change overnight.
Because of that it's very hard
for me to get around.
It's sometimes difficult for me
to maneuver through the crowds
of students on campus on a day
to day basis. Dealing with all of
the people ALF brings with it is
a nightmare. It is not something
that I look forward to each year.
For me to walk uptown through
ALF is almost impossible and
leaves me frustrated. It seems
that the bigger the crowd, the
more boisterous everyone gets.
People are constantly moving,
so that makes it difficult for me
to find a clear path of travel. If
I run into someone, and get
turned around I don't know
where I am. Try blindfolding
yourself, have someone spin
you around, and then see if you
can figure out which direction
you're facing. That is kind of
what it is like for me.
Another problem ALF causes
for me is it affects my sense of
hearing. When I can't hear it's
hard for me to tell where I am.
More people and more cars
make more noise. This inter-
feres with my ability to deci-
pher what I am hearing. For
example: if I am walking down
the sidewalk and I hear some-
one talking, I am pretty good at
guessing where they are. At the
park during ALF there are peo-
ple sporadically scattered

around having conversations,
cars making noises. All of the
noise pollution makes it more
likely for me to run into some-
one, get turned around and not
have a clue where I am. This
isn't a very desirable experi-
ence, trust me.
Lastly, I have to talk about all
of the different smells in the air.
Did you ever notice the smell of
hot electrical wires, engine
grease, or mildew at ALF?
These smells are a little harder
to detect because the dominant
aroma in the air is food.
Because I am not able to see
what is going on around me, I
have to visualize it. The more
information I can get about
something, the more accurate I
can be. I think everyone notices
smells but it isn't the first thing
you notice.
All of the noise and people
that come along with ALF make
it hard for me to enjoy what
most people do. I hope with
the information in this article,
you have a better understanding
of how people with sight
impairments use other senses to
do things. I truly wish to be as
independent as possible, but
when ALF takes place, it makes
it slightly difficult.

RECENTLY,
MORNINGSTAR CALLED
USCHEAP.
IT'S NOT EVERY DAY
YOU GET A COMPLIMENT
LIKE THAT.
All financial companies charge operating fees
■^ A- and expenses — some more than others. Of
course, the lower the expenses you pay, the better.
That way, more of your money goes where it
should — towards building a comfortable future.
We make low expenses a top priority.
As the largest retirement system in the
world 1 — a nonprofit company focused exclu-
sively on the financial needs of the educational
and research communities — our expenses are
among the lowest in the insurance and mutual
hind industries. 2
In fact, TIAA-CREF s 0.31% average fund
expenses are less than half of the expense charges
of comparable funds. 3 It's why Morningstar ~~
one of the nation's leading sources of annuity and
mutual fund information — says, 'At that level
[TIAA-CREF] is cheaper than any other
[variable annuity] policy, and is even compet-
itive with the cheapest mutual fund complexes,
though it offers far more benefits.""
"TIAA-CREF sets the standard in the
financial services industry."
Of course, expenses are only one factor to
consider when you make an investment decision.
Morningstar also noted our commitment to
"consumer education, service" and "solid
investment performance." Because that can
make a difference in the long run, too.
At TIAA-CREF, we believe people would
like to spend more in retirement, not on their
retirement company. Today, over two million
people count on that approach to help them
build a comfortable and secure future. So
can you. To find out more, call us at
1 800 842-2776. We'd consider it a compliment.

Week Seven
Eagles look to wreck Ship
By Jason Dambach
Assistant Sports Edito r
Fresh off of last Saturday's
impressive 33-20 victory over
Edinboro, the Golden Eagles will
now look for revenge against the
visiting Shippensburg Red
Raiders Saturday.
Last season, Shippensburg
ruined the homecoming festivities
in Clarion with a 37-14 win at
Memorial Stadium.
Shippensburg will look to keep
pace with Slippery Rock atop the
PSAC Western Division stand-
ings. Prior to last week's
crossover tilt with East
Stroudsburg, won by the Red
Raiders 35-13, they defeated
Edinboro 27-23 in their only
PS AC- West contest to date.
Meanwhile, Clarion enters
Saturday's game with a 1-1 divi-
sion record and will need to win
to remain confident heading into
the following week's matchup at
No. 18 IUP.
CLARION OFFENSE
The Golden Eagle offense will
look to get strong production from
its running backs for the second
straight week. Freshman
Demertic Gardner produced
Clarion's first 100-yard rushing
performance of the season, while
senior Jamie Sickeri ran for two
touchdowns, caught six passes for
100 yards, and blocked a punt on
special teams. Gardner and
Sickeri could have big afternoons
on Saturday against a
Shippensburg defense that is
allowing 210 yards per game
against the run. Quarterback
Chris Weibel should try to get the
ball to wide receiver Alvin
Slaughter early and often after the
pair connected just two times last
week — once on a two-point con-
version.

Last Saturday's key PSAC-West

Every successful college foot-
ball program has big-name play-
ers who grab the spotlight and
carry their team to winning sea-
sons. These same programs have
role players that add depth and the
drive that it takes to make a good
football team great.
The Clarion Golden Eagles are
fortunate enough to have one of
these role players. Fifth-year
senior Ryan Winkleblech has
spent his career at Clarion as a
role player, yet head coach Malen
Luke realizes how valuable
Winkleblech has been to Clarion's
success. "Ryan is a guy that is out
there every day. He doesn't miss
practice, he doesn't miss meet-
ings, and the coaches and players
can always count on him to be
there. He sends a good message
to the younger players," Luke
said.
Winkleblech came to Clarion in
1994 from Charleroi High School.
Winkleblech, known around cam-
pus as "Wink," passed on offers to
go to schools such as Washington
& Jefferson, Waynesburg, and St.
Francis to try and walk-on for the
Golden Eagles.
According to Wink, "I knew
what Clarion was all about
because my brother (Jerry) went
here. Maybe I could have gotten
more playing time somewhere
else, but I'm glad I came here. I
had a great experience and met
some great people."
Not only has Winkleblech
played football for five years at
Clarion, he has also been an active
member of the campus communi-
ty and excelled in the classroom.
in miraculous finish
— just enough a time for a Hail
Mary pass from their own 48 yard
line. On the play, quarterback
Randy McKavish heaved the ball
into the end zone, where it was
tipped into the hands of wide
receiver D.J. Flick for a touch-
down and an incredible 27-21
Slippery Rock win. The Rockets
seized the inside track on the
PSAC-West title, while the
Indians plummeted from No. 2 to
No. 18 in the NCAA poll. That
drop comes just weeks after the
Indians jumped from No. 17 to
No. 4 in just one week.

Winkleblech added, "Coach

always pushes me to do well both
on the field and in the classroom.
Also, coach (Dave) Durish has
been great this year. He has been
understanding and helped me get
through this year."
When he graduates in May,
Winkleblech said he will have
mixed emotions. According to
Winkleblech, "I'll be glad to
move on to the next chapter of my
life, but I will also miss it here. I
have a lot of good memories. My
time at Clarion has been the best
time of my life."
Winkleblech's two fondest
memories of Clarion include,
"Living on the third floor north of
Nair Hall and the 1996 national
title run."
Winkleblech was quick to point
out that there were a number of
people who made it possible for
him to finish his football career
and graduate.
"My parents have always sup-
ported me. I know every time I
walk on to the field my dad will
be up in the stands Also, my two
grandfathers kept ine going and
that is where I got n y determina-
tion from. They were great role
models for me," Winkleblech
said.
There are still things
Winkleblech wants to accomplish
this football season. Winkleblech
said, "If we take care of our busi-
ness, we have a shot to win the
PSAC-West. We can't worry
about anybody else and have to let
the chips fall where they may.
Winning the West would be a
great way to finish my college
career."

ball team evened its overall and

Slippery Rock tops IUP
By Jason Dambach
Assistant Sports Editor
Last Saturday's key PSAC-West
showdown between IUP and
Slippery Roek was billed as the
game of the weekend in Division
II, and the two teams didn't dis-
appoint. In fact, based on the
game's incredible ending it may
qualify as the game of the year.
With die game tied at 21-21 and

ning score, Slippery Rock line-

Every successful college foot-
ball program has big-name play-
ers who grab the spotlight and
carry their team to winning sea-
sons. These same programs have
role players that add depth and the
drive that it Lakes to make a good
football team great.
The Clarion Golden Eagles are
fortunate enough to have one of
these role players. Fifth-year
senior Ryan Winkleblech has
spent his career at Clarion as a
role player, yet head coach Malen
Luke realizes how valuable
Winkleblech has been to Clarion's
success. "Ryan is a guy that is out
there every day. He doesn't miss
practice, he doesn't miss meet-
ings, and the coaches and players
can always count on him to be
there. He sends a good message
to the younger players," Luke
said.
Winkleblech came to Clarion in
1994 from Charleroi High School.
Winkleblech, known around cam-
pus as "Wink," passed on offers to
go to schools such as Washington
& Jefferson, Waynesburg, and St.
Francis to try and walk-on for the
Golden Eagles.
According to Wink, "I knew
what Clarion was all about
because my brodier (Jerry) went
here. Maybe I could have gotten
more playing time somewhere
else, but I'm glad I came here. I
had a great experience and met
some great people."
Not only has Winkleblech
played football for five years at
Clarion, he has also been an active
member of the campus communi-
ty and excelled in the classroom.
in miraculous finish
— just enough a time for a Hail
Mary pass from their own 48 yard
line. On the play, quarterback
Randy McKavish heaved the ball
into the end zone, where it was
tipped into the hands of wide
receiver D.J. Flick for a touch-
down and an incredible 27-21
Slippery Rock win. The Rockets
seized the inside track on the
PSAC-West title, while the
Indians plummeted from No. 2 to
No. 18 in the NCAA poll. That
drop comes just weeks after the
Indians jumped from No. 17 to
No. 4 in just one week.

Ryan Winkleblech (61) has been helping pave the path to
success for the Golden Eagles for five seasons.
Winkleblech has served as the
Chair of the Election Committee
for the Student Senate, is a coun-
selor in the Upward Bound pro-
gram, and volunteers his time for
the children at a local elementary
school. Winkleblech has main-
tained a 3.1 gpa as a secondary
to hang it up. I'm glad I stuek
witli it because it has been a great
experience for me."
Winkleblech feels that his career
at Clarion has been a success.
"When I came here I hoped to
get a couple of things out of foot-
ball. The two main things were
education/mathematics major and responsibility and friendships,
also has completed Clarion's think I got both of these things
coaching certification program.
Coach Luke noted, "Wink has
added credibility to the program.
His involvement in his different
activities and his hard work in the
classroom shows that he is more
than just a football player. He
deserves a lot of credit for being
involved in so many different
things. He is someone you can
count on and that will make him a
success after he leaves Clarion."
Despite his lack of playing time,
Winkleblech stayed with the pro-
here at Clarion. The game teach-
es you a lot about life. It is a big
commitment and it is a big
responsibility to make every prac-
tice and every meeting. Also, I
can't say enough about the friends
that I have made on the football
team," Winkleblech said.
When Winkleblech leaves
Clarion, he hopes to stay in foot-
ball by coaching. Winkleblech
noted, "I would like to get into
coaching at the high school level.
I gained a great deal of experience
gram for five years. He says that playing at Clarion and I think that
pride was a major factor in stick- will help me when I become a

is something that I wanted to fin- Winkleblech added, "Coach
ish. It would have been too easy Luke is an excellent coach. He
has taught me a lot during my
career, He is always looking out
for everyone on the team. He
always pushes me to do well both
on the field and in the classroom.
Also, coach (Dave) Durish has
been great this year. I Ie has been
understanding and helped me get
through this year."
When he graduates in May,
Winkleblech said he will have
mixed emotions. According to
Winkleblech, "I'll be glad to
move on to the next chapter of my
life, but I will also miss it here. I
have a lot of good memories. Mv
time at Clarion has been the best
time of my life."
Winkleblech's two fondest
memories of Clarion include,
"Living on the third floor north of
Nair Hall and the 1996 national
title run."
Winkleblech was quick to point
out that there were a number of
people who made it possible for
him to finish his football career
and graduate.
"My parents have always sup-
ported me. I know every time I
walk on to the field my dad will
be up in the stands Also, my two
grandfathers kept me going and
that is where I got n y determina-
tion from. They were great role
models for me," Winkleblech
said.
There are still things
Winkleblech wants to accomplish
this football season. Winkleblech
said, "If we take care of our busi-
ness, we have a shot to win the
PSAC-West. We can't worry
about anybody else and have to let
the chips fall where they may.
Winning the West would be a
great way to finish my college
career."
Eagles even record

The Clarion University volley-
ball team evened its overall and
conference records with a sweep

CUP athletes making the grade in the classroom

University Relations
Academics and athletics go well
together at Clarion University of
Pennsylvania.
Clarion University had the high-
est percentage of scholar athletes
with 3.25 quality point average or
above among the 14 State System
of High Education member insti-
tutions according to a report
issued for 1997-98 by the
Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference office. Clarion has 71
athletes who met this criteria,
almost evenly divided with 33
men and 38 women, nearly 26
percent of all student athletes.
Clarion has 274 student athletes
(173 men, 101 women) during the
1997-98 school year out of a total
enrollment of 4,593 students. The
percentage was determined by
dividing the total number of stu-
dent athletes into the total that
maintained a 3.25 quality point
average or above for the entire
year.
Athletics director Bob Carlson
traced this success to several fac-
tors, including interest in the stu-
dents, support programs, and
recruiting practices.
"The caliber of student athletes
recruited by Clarion is a factor in
academic success," said Carlson.
"We are looking for athletes who
also can succeed in the classroom.
The NCAA Clearing House helps
our coaches to be more selective
in the recruiting process. Once
they are here our coaches stress
academics seriously and work
hard to make sure the athletes are
given an opportunity to succeed.
"Clarion's faculty work with
students and that makes a differ-
ence for them. Dr. Louis
Tripodi's Academic Support
Services program is also a big fac-
tor. Mandatory study halls help to
make sure studies are completed.
I think the students are pleased
with the opportunities they find
on campus. They are satisfied
with the degree they receive and
that their education will help them
to succeed in the future."
Carlson noted that a great deal
of effort is made to keep on top of
academic issues to prevent other
problems. For instance, practices,
which are limited to 20 hours per
week, are held at times that do not
conflict with class schedules.
Clarion's scholar-athlete success
has grown during the past decade.
In 1991, a yearly luncheon was
added to recognize scholar-ath-
letes. That year 47 students met
the qualifications for recognition.
By 1997, that number had reached
92.
"There is more to this than wins
and losses," said Carlson.
"Clarion is concerned with the
total athlete. Mandatory pro-
grams are held to instruct the ath-
letes in healthy living including
programs about AIDS, drugs and
alcohol, safe sex, and harassment.
All of these things tie together to
make well-rounded student ath-
letes."
Eagles complete strong golf season
By J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Clarion golf had its final tourna-
ment of the fall season last week
at Wanango Country Club.
The tournament was hosted by
Allegheny College. The Golden
Eagles posted a tie for fourth
place with the Allegheny Gold
team. Both teams shot 319,
which was 15 strokes behind first-
place Slippery Rock.
Clarion was led by junior Matt
Honacki with a score of 76. Not
far behind was Clarion's No. 1
man Shawn Will at 78. Other
scores included Adam Botteicher
with an 81, J.P. Kenney (84), and
Anthony Tacconelli with an 85.
As for the season as a whole, it
was very productive. There were
some excellent individual perfor-
mances, such as Will's fifth-place
finish in West Virginia, which
included a round of 68.
Tacconelli, a freshman, took a
fifth place at the Pitt-Greensburg
Tournament. Also, Honacki's
top-ten finish at Allegheny and
Kenney's 72 in the first round at
West Virginia rank among the
highlights.
As a team, winning the Pitt-
Greensburg Tournament was a big
accomplishment, as was shooting
a combined 292 in the second
round of the Glenville State
Tournament.
In the spring, all of the players
will be returning, including all of
the freshmen who will have a
semester of experience under
their belts. Clarion promises to
contend for the PS AC title against
IUP and Slippery Rock.
Netters prepare for PSAC tourney
By Angela Everly
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The women's tennis team, under
head coach Lori Sabatose, tri-
umphed over Edinboro Monday
by a 7-2 score.
The win gave the Eagles a 2-12
regular-season record. This
record, however, does not give an
accurate portrayal of the netters,
who are one of the top four teams
based on individual record in the
conference.
During singles competition,
freshman Bethany Melnick fought
to secure victory by finishing off a
tiebreaking game. Kylee
Johnson, a sophomore, was able
to stay in the match with powerful
forehand ground strokes and
extreme patience to cinch a
tiebreaker. Junior co-captain
Rachel Link, with a variety of
powerful shots, secured a victory
for the team, as did sophomore
co-captain Amy Shaffer, who used
a powerful assortment of serves.
Senior Carly Carrier won by using
excellent defensive strategy,
attacking the net and throwing her
opponent off guard.
In doubles action, Melnick and
Shaffer displayed a great attack-
ing game and executed a victory
for the netters. Link and Johnson
also exhibited determination and
patience to pick up a win for the
team. Tracy Heim and LaDonna
Dunlevy, both freshmen, experi-
enced a tough loss because of
falling behind at the start of the
match.
Although the netters have closed
their regular season, they will be
serving a few more balls in Erie at
the Pennbriar Athletic Club for
the PSAC tournament this
Saturday and Sunday. All confer-
ence teams will be attending the
tournament.

Soccer players want UNC
coach kicked off campus
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Two former soccer players at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill filed a $12 million lawsuit, alleging
sexual harassment and other misconduct against Anson Dorrance, the
school's head women's soccer coach.
Dorrance, who has led the team to 15 national titles in 17 years,
vowed in a prepared statement to "vigorously defend" himself against
the accusations, he has coached at the university since 1979.
"I am shocked and saddened by these allegations," Dorrance said. "I
have never and would never abuse my position in any way."
The lawsuit, filed in federal district court in Chicago by Debbie
Keller, who played for the Tar Heels from 1993 to 1996, and Melissa
Jennings, who is still a student at UNC, also faults several school
administrators for failing to do anything about the allegations against
Dorrance after having learned of them. Jennings claims Dorrance cut
her from the team in May after she complained to administrators about
his behavior.
The suit claims Dorrance ensured alcohol was made available to high
school recruits visiting campus and that he probed players about their
sex lives and those of their teammates.
Keller also alleges that Dorrance often made "offensive physical con-
tact" with her by putting "his arms and hands on her body on multiple
occasions." Keller also claims that in October, 1996, Dorrance lured
her to a secluded spot where he "made an uninvited sexual advance"
toward her.
The university said it acted quickly on the women's complaints and
that an internal investigation found "absolutely no evidence" that
Dorrance had "used his position to make uninvited, sexually explicit
comments" to the women. The university also said it found no evi-
dence of inappropriate physical contact.
Current team members said a letter released Tuesday that they, too,
believe the accusations are false.
But as for the allegations that Dorrance provided alcohol to recruits
and inquired about players' personal lives, the university said it found
that the coach's conduct fell short of the standards of good judgment
that we expect from university officials."
Louis A. Varchetto, an attorney representing Jennings and Keller, said
talks aimed at settling the dispute broke down when his clients insist-
ed that the university ask Dorrance to step down from his post as part
of any deal.
"The university is unwilling to do that," he said.
The lawsuit and the prominence of the people on both sides of it are
sure to rqck the world of women's soccer. Dorrance is credited with
building the sport of women's soccer in the United States and with
leading the U.S. women's team to-victory during the first World Cup
for women in 1991.
Keller, now a starting forward on the women's national team,
received UNC's top honor for student athletes during her senior season
in 1997. The school retired her jersey earlier this year.

Seven minutes later, Jamie
Sickeri showed his versatility on
special teams. With Edinboro
pinned deep in its own territory,
Sickeri broke loose to block a
Tyson Cook punt into the end
zone. Sickeri got his fingertips on
the ball, but it would flip out of
the end zone for a Clarion safety.
Nonetheless, the Golden Eagles
increased the bulge to 26-7 mid-
way through the third quarter.
The Scots, who suffered their
fifth straight loss after opening the
season with a win over Hillsdale,
stayed in contention when Dorian
Wilkerson caught a 26-yard
touchdown pass from Caldwell to
pull the Scots within 26-14 with
2:03 showing on the clock in the
third.
That was as close as the Scots
would get, as the two teams trad-
ed touchdowns in the fourth quar-
ter.
Sickeri scored his second touch-
down of the day on a 1-yard run at
the 9:32 mark.
Dawn Price pulled Edinboro

Clarion Call sponsors second annual
College Press Day held at Gemmell
by Michael Chapaloney
Clarion Call Managing Editor
"Did you check your rights
when you pulled off of Interstate
80," asked Dr. William
Lawbaugh, who spoke about the
new campus crime legislation at
College Press Day.
Lawbaugh, the national presi-
dent of the Society for
Collegiate Journalists, was
influential in the adoption of a
new legislation that opens cam-
pus crime records to student
journalist and gives them the
opportunity to make them pub-
lic.
He voiced his concern about
the closed trials that are used on
college campuses. "Only Cuba,
China and college campuses
have closed trials."
This was the second College
Press Day, an event that origi-
nated here at Clarion. Press
Day is a one day convention that
attracts college journalists from
Pennsylvania and neighboring
states through presentations
concerning current issues in
journalism. This year several of
Clarion Call/George Groff
Michael C. Hiestand of the Student Press Law Center and the
co-author of SPLC's book, taw of the Student Press' delivered
the keynote address at College Press Day 1998.
the sessions focused on the legal
concerns of collegiate journal-
ism, such as the one presented
by Lawbaugh and others which
dealt with libel, freedom of
information, and alcohol adver-
tising.
Dr. Arthur H. Barlow, profes-
sor of communication at Clarion
who is the coordinator of Press
Day was thrilled *with its suc-
cess, "It was gratifying to see
the sessions so well attended for
all of those who worked so
hard." "We may not have the
numbers of national conventions,
but all of the sessions were qual-
ity," said Barlow who is also the
national executive director of the
Society for Collegiate
Journalists.
Dr. Ngo Dinh Tu, professor of
political science at Clarion, pre-
sented "Freedom of the press
under the Constitution." Tu
posed the question of whether or
not the press should serve as a
fourth branch of government that
checks on the other three. He
used examples from Supreme
Court decisions in which the
freedom of press was upheld.
Tu discussed the boundaries of
the press in expressing their
opinions through editorials.
Threatening national security or
exciting violence are the two
main aspect that must be consid-
ered when writing editorials, said
Tu. He emphasized the power of
collegiate journalism, "Calling
for impeachment of the president
can be either the Washington
Post or The Clarion Call.
Carlson Library catches VID
by Elisabeth Navarra
Clarion Call News Writer
For students that are often up
past library hours working on
papers or doing homework, there
is a different kind of library avail-
able this year.
The Virtual Information Desk
(VID). which began operating
Sept. 8, is a new library service
that is being offered on-line from
Mansfield University o\'
Pennsylvania.
The Desk is open from 9 p.m.
through I a.m. Sundays through
Thursdays and from 4 to 8 p.m.
on Fridays. During these times,
three librarians and numerous
assistants from Mansfield will be
available to assist students with
any reference or computer appli-
cation questions.
The VID can be accessed by e-
mail at www.mnsfield.edu/~vid.
Students who are unable to use a
computer can call the toll-free
number. I -888-76 1 -940 1. and
receive help. Those that use the
. service will be asked to provide
the ID barcode that is located on
their student identification card.
'Editor's note* Last week's Clarion News Teaser
should have read: "The State System of Higher
Education is planning a 3.5% tuition hike for the
1999-2000 school year."
Another quick way to access
the VID e-mail reference form is
through the PILOT library data-
base. "PILOT is the statewide
library system." said Deon
Knickerbocker, an employee at
Carlson Library. "It is basically
a uniform card catalog system (is
used the same way at all col-
leges) and is accessible through
all the computers on campus."
VID. which was made possible
through a grant from the State
System of Higher Education, is
intended to help students and
faculty alike. "We want to help
you locate references, find
answers, or do whatever you
need to finish your work." said
Larry Schankman. a librarian at
Mansfield. "The concept of
electronic reference should
enable us to help someone who
needs it even when they're hun-
dreds of miles away."
This service expects to provide
answers to students' questions,
and also to simplify library use .
"If we cannot answer your ques-
tion that night, we'll let the refer-
ence desk at your home campus
know so thar you can follow up
there when your library is open
again." said Jane Fenn. another
VID librarian. "Going in with
any of the citations or informa-
tion we've been able to provide
should shorten your search time."
Knickerbocker noted that the
VID is being used because sever-
al requests have been made.

"Media organizations
have almost always
practiced agenda
setting.
»
Rachael Foflygen
««1
Who's Afraid of the big bad
Media Monster?"
Who's afraid of the big, bad
Media Monster? This seems to be
a mocking question coming from
the media, like a parent trying to
console a child. But, this child
happens to represent the
American public.
With recent events concerning
the downfall in the moral charac-
ter of the most powerful person
in the free world, the President of
the United States of America, the
American public must think criti-
cally about how this will, and
should, affect them personally.
However, the mass media tends
to shape public opinion by bom-
barding the American people
with biased and often very con-
fusing messages in the form of
agenda setting. Not only does
this type of bombardment actual-
ly backfire against the media's
ultimate intention of creating
interest in their agenda but it also
fosters apathy and desensitization
on a massive scale. An apathetic,
desensitized society, in turn, falls
prey to corruption.
The mass media permeates our
culture. In anthropology class,
students learn that culture inti-
mately intertwines with their
lives. As a matter of fact, anthro-
pologists go as far as to say that
humans are innately bicultural
organisms, meaning that our bio-
logical makeup relies on culture
for survival and vice-versa. Any
person who says the mass media
does not affect them usually lies
or remains ignorant of what mass
media really involves. What are
you going to wear to work today?
Well, that depends on the weath-
er. Do you go right outside and
check the weather? No. Like
most people, you probably turn
the television to the local news
channel to see what the meteorol-
ogist predicts.
How many times did you pass
a billboard on the way to work?
There used to be a time when
the Amish could be characterized
as impervious to modern conven-
tions, including mass media.
However, now some "modern-
ized" Amish drive cars and stop
at McDonald's to get a Big Mac.
Messages, such as weather
reports, Big Mac advertisements,
and car advertisements, are
geared towards specific audi-
ences according to the media
organization's specific agenda in
order to stir up interest, whether
it be interest in the McDonald's
Big Mac sandwich or the Post
Gazette's article on the all-
important, but highly embell-
ished "Kenneth Starr Report:
Media organizations have
almost always practiced agenda
setting. However, when biased
opinions become demands, the
media oversteps the boundaries
of agenda setting. Agenda setting
focuses on a particular subject for
a certain period of time in order
to catch the public's interest.
Journalism's partiality makes no
reference to public opinion; it
infers that the public concurs. A
few examples of recent news arti-
cles and stories point to this sort
of partiality. For instance, on a
quick television news update, an
anchor announced, " The Post
Gazette calls for President
Clinton's impeachment," making
it sound like that is what the pub-
lic wants. Similarly, the headline
for the local Erie newspaper
reads, America says, 'Yuck!'"
Keep in mind that polls from
other media organizations, such
as MSNBC, report that the presi-
dent's ratings still remain high
despite the recent damaging evi-
dence against his moral character
and behavior. Even then they
cannot agree on what constitutes
how high. It's no wonder people
seem apathetic towards such an
important subject. When confu-
sion and disorder reign, a country
can easily become misled.

Editorial
Clarion University
students are The
Clarion Call."
OrrohPf 22. 1998
Tr,P Clarion Call
JEageJL
Steve Ostrosky, News Editor
As I sat in a session during last
week's College Press Day, I
began thinking of the incredible
responsiblity student journalists
have. But then I realized that
you, the audience, have an even
larger responsibility: the respon-
sibility to react to the information
provided by the student media.
Clarion University students are
The Clarion Call. We write the
stories; we lay out the pages; we
sell the advertising, and we take
the criticism from the public. We
are a newspaper, and we have an
obligation to report the news, be
it positive or negative. Some
people in the administration may
say that we are the University's
mouthpiece; in fact, at times, we
could be their worst enemy.
In my more than three years as
a student and in my year as news
editor, one fact I have learned is
that higher education is a big
business, and Clarion University
is no exception. Someone said
to me, "Well, it's, not like the
president (Dr. Reinhard) is the
CEO of a business."
In fact, she is. We recently
reported that the University's
Council of Trustees approved a
$534pillion budget for the 1998-
1999 academic year. Who over-
sees the operations of this entire
University? Dr. Diane L.
Reinhard. Do you know who is
paying for over one-third of that
$53 million? You guessed it...the
students.
We, as students, have a right to
know how our dollars are being
spent. We as student journalists
have an obligation to tell you
exactly how the administration
plans on allocating that tuition
money. It is especially important
if our money becomes used for
purposes other than its original
intent. If that circumstance
should arise, do we not bring it to
the students attention or do we
bow to the wishes of the
University?
Students play an important role
in student media, even though
they may not be directly involved

READER RESPONSE
"It also violates the first and second commandments of a reli-
gious docterine endorsed by our own congress."
♦Please Note* This letter to the
editor was written last semester
Dear Editor,
Sometime this summer or early
fall, the United States Senate will
vote on a resolution (S.J. res 40)
which would deliver to the states
for ratification an amendment
that would protect the physical
integrity of the flag, at the
expense of the ideas for which it
stands. In 1995, a similar resolu-
tion was narrowly defeated in the
Senate, despite support from both
Pennsylvania Senators Santorum
(R) and Specter (R).
Supporters for this amendment
are well organized and funded,
and they have sponsored several
polls, which show tremendous
popular support for the amende-
ment Please take this opportuni-
ty to let our legislators know how
you feel. Let them know that this
amendment would be an egre-
gious infringement on one of the
most important liberties our flag
represents.
Please do not misunderstand
my position as a lack of respect
for our flag. It is an important
symbol, not only of our nation,
but also of the ideological frame-
work around which our nation
has grown. I consider it uncon-
scionable however, to place the
physical integrity of that symbol
over the ideological integrity of
its referent. This amendment
would be the first limitation of
the freedoms guaranteed by our
Bill of Rights and that it would
qualify all three facets of the first
amendment to the constitution.
The most contested issue is this
amendment's restriction on free
speech. The Supreme Court has
ruled on numerous occasions,
most notably Street v. New York
(394 U.S. 576) and Texas v.
Johnson (491 U.S. 397), that this
sort of symbolic speech is pro-
tected by that clause in the first
amendment which guarantees
that congress may not legislative-
ly restrict "The Freedom of
Speech...or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble..."
In addition to free speech, this
amendment would allow con-
gress to violate the establishment
clause of the first amendment
which reads, "Congress shall
make no law respecting an estab-
lishment of religion..." Setting
the flag up as a 'sacred' object
has been discussed several times
by the Supreme Court, mostly in
cases involving compulsory reac-
Letters to
the Editor
tion of the pledge of allegiance.
In West Virginia v. Barnette (319
U.S. 624) Justice Jackson clearly
expressedthe opinion that "...no
official, high or petty, can pre-
scribe what shall be orthodox in
politics, nationalism, religion, or
other matters of opinion, or force
citizens to confess by word or act
of faith therein." By establishing
the flag as our nation's sacred
symbol and protecting it from
desecration, the government is
requiring citizens to act with a
respect toward the flag they may
not feel.
The third element of the First
Amendment compromised by
this proposed amendment, the
"free exercise" of religion, has
also been debated numerous
times in Supreme Court cases
dealing with the pledge of alle-
giance. Some religions, most
notably Jehovah's Witnesses,
have won decisions freeing them
from punishment for practicing
their beliefs which prevent them
from praying to a false god, rep-
resented by the flag .It is not only
these religions which are violated
by establishing the flag as a
sacred symbol of our national
orthodoxy. In another blatant vio-
lation of the separation of church
and state in 1996, The United
States House of Representatives
voted to endorse the Ten
Commandments, the first and
second of which read as follows
(Exodus 20:3-5):
1. Thou shalt have no other gods
before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee
any graven image, or any like-
ness of anything that is in heaven
above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water
under the earth: Thou shalt not
bow down thyself to them, nor
serve them...
This amendment then not only
violates all three facets of the
First Amendment; it also violates
the first and second command-
ments of a religious doctrine
endorsed by our own congress.
So consider this a call to action.
Don't let Senator Santorum and
Specter cast their votes without
hearing your opinion first. And if
this amendment is submitted to
the states for approval, don't let
your state legislators make their
decision without your input.
Sincerely,
Christopher Collins

Editorial continued from Page 2 Hide Park continued from Page 2
in the reporting or disseminating
of the news. I hope that if stu-
dents have concerns about stories
they have read, they attempt to
set the wheels in motion to bring
about change.
When almost $21 million of the
budget comes from our pockets,
we should play an active role in
what our University is doing.
The student media is the "checks
and balances" system for the
University, if you will. We're
making sure that what goes on
around here is all on the up-and-
up; that responsibility doesn't fall
on my already-cluttered desk.
All students have to make their
voices heard if they want events
to change.
I look at myself as a "gatekeep-
er" in a way. Information comes
my way, and it then gets passed
to all students through this publi-
cation, but the chain shouldn't
stop there. If you are upset over
an issue you read in The Call,
send us a letter and make your
voice heard. Who knows, the let-
ter we print or the comment you
make may be the spark for
progress.
Just because the story is sitting
in front of you in black and white
doesn't mean that the story is
over. In fact, the story really
begins after the paper is printed.
What do you think about the
story? What will you do in
response?
The UAB would like
to take this oppor-
tunity to thank all
of the students,
faculty, and staff
that helped make
The Blues Traveler
concert a success.
We would also like
to thank The
Clarion Call, WCUC.
Dave's Music Mine,
and C-93.
We in the student media have a
great responsibility: to inform.
Sometimes that news isn't
always the happiest or the easiest
to write, but we tell you because
we are students, too. We also
have a vested interest in the pre-
sent and future of Clarion
University, and we pay our
tuition just like the rest of the stu-
dent body.
The media has a huge responsi-
bility, but the greater task falls
upon the shoulders of all who
read this. You have an obliga-
tion to come to the "gates" and
use what you are given to make
progressive change at Clarion
University.
Steve Ostrosky is a Senior
Communication Major.
The American public does not
want to hear anymore concerning
the affair between President
Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
The American public does not
want to hear any more about the
presidency in crisis. The
American public does not want to
hear about what they should hear
because what they should hear
became a moneymaking tool
which the media obscenely
abused. The blatant order from
the Post Gazette reveals how the
mass media has more control
over the American public then it
ever had and ever should have
had. Reporting and commenting
on the news are the sole jobs of a
newspaper.
What gives the newspaper the
right to demand action from the
people, even if it is the President
of the United States? A media-
controlled society can easily
evolve into a Communist politi-
cal system. This demand from the
Post Gazette screams of
Communism just for the fact that
it "demanded" action from the
government. The Communist
political system unifies the media
and the government. Unbiased
media sources are becoming
harder and harder to find as parti-
san organizations increase with
their agenda-setting practices.
This, in and of itself, does not
seem too bad; however, it is
when corruption takes place on a
regular basis. The American pub-
lic doesn't know what to believe,
especially when they allow the
media to determine their lives.
Who's afraid of the big, bad
Media Monster?

The building, which houses the
health center and the speech and
hearing clinic will also house the
entire Communication Sciences
and Disorders (CSD) department.
The health center will be closing
an hour early at 4 p.m. until the
end of spring semester, at the lat-
est.
Randy Rice, director of the
health center, said the change real-
ly won't affect the number of stu-
dents that can be seen because no
appointments are scheduled after
3 p.m.
He said the crews come in to do
work at 3 p.m. and that there may
be too much dust in the air after 4
p.m. "If you had someone with
asthma, you'll be doing them
more harm than good," said Rice.

Keeling Health Center is undergoing $400,000 in renova-
tions in order to accommodate the move of the
Communication Sciences and Disorders department from
Davis Hall into that facility.
Rice said the entire renovation
project should cost around
$400,000. He also said, "Students
will see a real difference in the
new carpet and tile, new cabinetry
and new window dressings.
Another change is the integration
of CNET, which will improve

Some structural differences include the hiring of a certified
include a redesigned floor plan, registered nurse practitioner,
which will increase the total
provider staff from two to three.
The planned enhancement of
encounter/billing software should
also improve timeliness of
billings.
Dr. Colleen McAleer, from the
CSD department, said that the
move from Davis Hall to Keeling
will be good.
Currently the department is split
between Davis and Keeling. "I
think there have been some logis-
tical problems with the separa-
tion," said McAleer.
The two halves of the depart-
ment haven't been located in the
same building for at least ten
years, according to McAleer.
Originally, the clinic was sup-
posed to be in Davis Hall, but was
placed in Keeling since the reno-
vation of Davis took five years.
McAleer said seven members of
the CSD faculty will join the three
members already at Keeling
sometime in December.
CSD classes are scheduled in
Keeling for the Spring semester.
Clarion University's requirements questioned
Report takes state schools curricula to task
by Angela Everly
Clarion Call Staff Writer
A recently released report from
a conservative think tank has
raised questions about the
strength of courses at
Pennsylvania colleges.
The Pennsylvania Association of
Scholars and The Commonwealth
Foundation, both based in
Harrisburg, issued the report enti-
tled "Are Pennsylvania Students
Receiving the Fundamentals of a
.College Education?"
The report reviewed course cat-
alogs and searched the State
System of Higher Education
(SSHE) and state -related univer-
sities to see if they were requiring
subjects that they felt were essen-
tial to a solid core curriculum.
Although the study admits to not
examining course rationales,
course requirements, which would
add an important qualitative fac-
tor to the assessment, the authors
believe that the report is still a
"comprehensive assessment" of
State System and state -related
schools.
The report was written by
Colleen A. Sheehan, Ph.D., a
member of the Governor's
Commission on Academic
Standards. It was co-edited by
Richard Orodenker, Ph.D., from
Penn State University;
Christopher F. Armstrong, Ph.D.,
from Bloomsburg University; and
Henry A. Olson from the
Commonwealth Foundation.
Subjects The Commonwealth
Foundation considered "essential"
to the core curricula are: English
composition, literature, history,
philosophy, fine arts, foreign lan-
guage, mathematics, and natural
science.
"While there may well be other
subjects that could be considered
essential areas of study for college
students, the eight disciplines list-
ed here are clearly among the
prinicipal subjects of a genuine
liberal arts and science core cur-
riculum," the report said.
In addition, the report stated mat
only three-quarters of SSHE
schools actually require students
to take only one-half or even less
of the "essential" subjects.
According to the SSHE, they
consider the report's "essential"
list of core curricula to be
"invalid." Also, the System
believes that disciplines such as
psychology, economics, anthro-
pology, political science, sociolo-
gy, geography, and speech to be
"essential to a student's educa-
tion." .
"Such glaring omissions serve to
present an unrealistic picture and
to devalue the true educational
experience that State System stu-
dents receive," said the SSHE.
Kenn Marshall, SSHE press sec-
retary, said, "The report's findings
are based entirely on hypothetical
students. There is no supporting
data and it is not based on any
actual student experience."
He added, "In listing courses a
student could take in order to
graduate, it ignores any degree
requirements that students would
also have to meet."
Clarion University's core
requirements were examined in
the report.
It states, "Among the educa-
tional goals established by
Clarion University is that 'the stu-
dent will acquire a broad aware-
ness of various accounts of human
heritage by developing an under-
standing of... literature.. .history,
and philosophy.' However,
Clarion does not include litera-
ture, history or philosophy in its
subjects students must study."

Report calls general education requirements at
Pennsylvania schools into question
The report lists how many cred-
its students at CU are required to
take in the eight "essential" sub-
jects.
It states that Clarion requires six
credits of composition, no credits
in literature, history, philosophy,
or fine arts, three credits in math-
ematics, and nine science credits.
CU faculty and administration
have reacted to the findings of this
report. Provost/Vice President for
Academic Affairs Dr. John Kuhn,
said he is "disappointed in the
report because it doesn't do a gen-
eral study of the transcripts that a
student graduates with."
He added, "I applaud them for
trying to get people to examine
the University curriculum when
it's done with integrity and I hope
that it will encourage further dis-
cussion on campus."
Kuhn said, "The series of
accreditations we have received
that review with substance and
character carry enough to validate
what we do here at Clarion.
President Diane Reinhard has
also made her feelings known
about the report's findings.
"Contrary to what the
Pennsylvania Association of
Scholars and the Commonwealth
Foundation suggest in their report.
Clarion University has a general
education program mat is continu-
ally subjected to assessment and
refinement to ensure its quality
and relevance," she said.
She noted that additional assur-
ances that the University's general
education curriculum meets quali-
ty standards are:
— Courses approved for the
University's General Education
curriculum undergo extensive and
thorough review involving the
academic department, General
Education Council, Committee on
Courses and Programs of Study,
Faculty Senate, and the adminis-
tration.
— The University's regional
Middle States accreditation
process involves a comprehensive
self-study of programs and ser-
vices, including general educa-
tion.
— All Clarion University profes-
sional programs for which spe-
cialied accreditations exist have
earned that distinction. In helping
to ensure cohesiveness between
standards established by accredit-
ing agencies and the University's
professional curricula, the special-
ized accreditation process assess-
es the degree to which the general
education component of that cur-
ricula is academically strong.
— The findings of a recent State
System alumni satisfaction survey
further affirm the quality of edu-
cation at Clarion University, with
83 percent of Clarion respondents
indicating that their preparation
for a career bad been excellent or
good while 94 percent felt that
their college education had
improved the quality of their lives.
The report's findings are as fol-
lows:
-- All universities require at least
one course in English composition
or writing, but many do not pro-
vide sufficient numbers of sec-
tions to enable these courses to be
taken freshman year.
-Essential subjects of Humanities
are the most neglected by univer-
sities' core requirements.
- Only three state universities and
two state-related universities
require students to take founda-
tional courses in at least three of
the essential subjects of the
Humanities. Clarion University
was not one of the three state
schools mentioned.
~ 78 percent of state-funded uni-
versities do not requLe students to
achieve at least an intermediate
proficiency in a foreign language.
- Only four of the state-funded
institutions require the study of
American and/or Western civiliza-
tion. Clarion University is not one
of those four schools.
- In a majority of cases, students
at state-funded universities are not
guaranteed a broad-based intro-
duction to core suN ;cts, but are
permitted to fulfill core require-
ments.
-- Courses are narrowly focused
and trendy, doubting such core
requirements provide a genuine
core of learning at all.
The State System of Higher
Education has made clear their
reaction to the findings of the
Commonwealth Foundation
report.
"The approximately 350,000
working Pennsylvania residents
who are alumni of one of the 14
universities of the State System of
Higher Education are testimony to
the quality of the education
received at. the state owned uni-
versities," said Marshall.

Clarion Call News Editor
Clarion University will do its
part for National Collegiate
Alcohol Awareness Week
(NCAAVV) from Oct. 19-25.
One of the primary objectives of
the week is to increase conscious-
ness of alcohol abuse on college
campuses and stress the need for
effective prevention programs.
Some of the other objectives are:
focusing attention on different
facets of the issue by scheduling
special lectures or seminars, dis-
tributing literature, and other
activities; highlighting existing
campus and community programs
geared toward prevention and
intervention; and promoting
responsible decision making and
healthy lifestyles.
According to Dr. John
Postelwait, director of Clarion
University's Alcohol and Drug
Awareness Education/Training,
"This year, NCAAW is stressing
the positive things that students
do. Not all students are binge
drinkers and not all of them abuse
alcohol."
Ryan Lewis, president of the CU
chapter of Boosting Alcohol
Consciousness Concerning the
Health of University Students
(BACCHUS), the main sponsor of
the week's activities, has voiced
his opinion on the week.
"BACCHUS feels very fortu-
nate to put together programs that
are beneficial to the whole univer-
sity. We hope the information
provides education and safety for
the students. NCAAW is very
beneficial to our organization, but
we are active the entire year to
provide important information
about alcohol and its effects," he
said.
"Alcohol abuse is greater among
the younger students, freshmen
and sophomores," said Brian
Hayes, BACCHUS treasurer and

president of Sigma Chi fraternity.
"Maturity and an increasing
course load limit consumption.
Education about alcohol before
the student reaches college is the
best thing that a college student
could have. They need to know
the long term effects of alcohol on
an individual's life," Hayes
added.
Earlier this week, "Search for
Awareness" tombstones were set
up across from the main entrance
to Chandler Dining Hall. The
crosses represent the 50
Pennsylvania^ killed each year
as a result of alcohol abuse.
On Oct. 20, DWEyes demon-
strations were held in Gemmell
Multi-purpose Room. DWEyes
enables a person to wear a special
set of goggles that disorient a per-
son in a fashion similar to having
too much to drink.
DWEyes concentrates on drink-
ing and driving by use of the gog-
gles and video tape programs to
demonstrate that it is not safe to
walk, let alone drive, when too
much alcohol has been consumed.
The DWEyes demonstration
was sponsored by BACCHUS and
the Interfratemity Council.
Another event of the week
occurs on Friday, Oct. 23, where a
one-act play "Instant Love" will
be performed at 7 p.m. in the
Gemmell Multi-purpose room.
Sponsored by BACCHUS, the
play concerns alcohol abuse and
date rape. The performance will
be followed by a "mocktail" (non-
alcoholic beverage) party.
George Groff/Clarion Call
These crosses were placed in front of Chandler Dining
Hall this week to represent the 50 Pennsylvanians killed
every year as a result of alcohol abuse. The crosses are
part of CU's observance of National Collegiate Alcohol
Awareness Week (NCAAW).
Also involved in NCAAW are
the residence halls. A variety of
educational programs were sched-
uled throughout the week.
Campbell Hall held a mock dri-
ving under the influence funeral,
where individuals posted informa-
tion about the aftermath of alco-
hol abuse.
Wilkinson and Nair Halls sched-
uled "mocktail" nights. Nair also
has bulletin boards and an alcohol
wall.
Postelwait said that the informa-
tion flow actually started several
weeks ago with all residence hall
students receiving a list of alcohol
laws prior to the Autumn Leaf
Festival.
Clarion University employees
got a letter about NCAAW asking
diem to keep alcohol information
going to the students throughout
the year. Alcohol awareness e-
mail messages were sent to
employees every day.
A survey released earlier this
month by the Harvard School of
Public Health reported that 19
percent of the student surveyed
hadn't touched a drink in a year,
up from 15.6 percent in a study
conducted in 1993.
However, alcohol abuse contin-
ues to be a problem on campuses.
The same survey, which ques-
tioned over 14,000 students from
130 colleges across the country
showed more than half of the
nation's college students drank to
get drunk last year and the number
of binge drinkers was virtually
unchanged from four years ago.
Clarion University is one of
almost 3,000 colleges in the U.S.,
Canada, and Mexico scheduling
activities for NCAAW.

Clinton extends
Higher Education Act
by Christine Tatum
College Press Exchange
President Clinton approved an
extension of the Higher Education
Act Oct. 7 that would lower the
interest rate on student loans to
their lowest levels in 17 years and
would raise the maximum Pell
Grant.
Clinton's approval of the com-
promise legislation, cobbled
together by a joint committee
from both chambers, gave him a
chance to talk about the positive
results of cooperation in
Congress, tacitly comparing the
act to the partisan bickering over
impeachment
"We put the progress of the
country and the people of the
country ahead of our partisan dif-
ferences and reached a principled
resolution of the matters of dis-
pute," Clinton said.
"That's the way America is sup-
posed to work, and that's the way
the American people want us to
work."
The bill:
— Raises the maximum Pell
Grant to $4,500 for the 1999-2000 two years of undergraduate study

'Servant of Two Masters'
opens CUP's Theatre season
by Kelly Palma
Clarion Call Staff Writer
"Servant of Two Masters"
opened the Clarion

way than one. "The sole

Masters".
demanding, physical come-
dy," said director Marilouse
Michel. "Servant" was
filled with slapstick come-
dy. Even the stagehands
hammed it up every chance
they got. They even encour-
aged the audience to clap for
them every time they moved
the set. There were tug- of-
war fights over the bread
and the trunks, sword fight-
ing, and numerous others.
In almost every instance,
someone ended up on the
ground.
Sexual references and
innuendoes abound in this
play. Everytime Silvio
(played by Trevor
Soulworth) pulls out his
sword the audience could
not help but burst into
laughter. There are glances,
butt slapings, and almost
groping on the stage.
Michel went on to say,
"This is different from any-
thing we have done in quite
a while." Gauging from the
reactions I saw and the
comments I heard, the audi-
ence certainly enjoyed the
performance.
The only bad comment I
overheard was that the first
act was a little long.
However, scene five cer-
tainly made up for it.
During the scene,
Truffaldino (played by
Jarrod Fry) ate the entire
time. He is supposed to be
serving dinner to both of his
masters, and ends up eating
half of it himself. At one
point, pudding is even
flung toward the audience.
I am told President
Reinhard sat in the front
row on opening night, and
remained pudding-free.
The entire cast was simply
superb. The most laughs
however, went to Jarrod
Fry, the meddling servant
Truffaldino. "He certainly
has come a long way in four
years, and has matured a lot
in his acting," stated
theatergoer Chuck Morris.
Others in the cast
included: Kristie Belles as
the foot-stomping, temper-
tantrum-throwing Clarice.
Trevor Southworth was the
seductive Silvio, with Laura
Reichert as the love lost
Beatrice Rasponi mas-
querading as her brother.
Robert Zinsmeister por-
trayed Florindo, Beatrice's
long lost love. Chris Taylor
performed as Pantalone, the
elderly sexually frustrated
guardian. Eric Grugel was
Dr. Lombardi, the Latin
spouting official. Holli
Hamilton was a crowd
favorite as Smeraldino, the
sassy female servant who
becomes Truffaldino's
counterpart. Jonathon Toth
gave his take on Brighella,
the innkeeper. Mamie
Welliver and Miranda
Scopel gave life to the fight-
ing waiters, along with
Micheal Fox and Jeff
Chaffee as the porters.
When entering the
Marwick-BoydLittle
Theatre you are immediately
taken back in time.
The set, done by Ed Powers
had an extended proscenium
with a sun/moon symbol at
the arch and footlights at the
bottom. Everything in the
play could have been
described as cartoonish.
But then again that is
Commedia dell' arte in a nut-
shell. Everything from the
wonderfully colored cos-
tumes, to the make up, and
even the props were larger
than life.
All of these things, plus an
immensely talented cast
make up "The Servant of
Two Masters".
The play was written by
Carlos Goldoni in 1743, and
is one of the few Commedia
dell'arte plays that was
written down.
On the technical side of
things were the following
individuals. The production
was directed by Marilouse
Michel. Set and lighting
design was done by Ed
Powers, with Myra
Bullington doing the cos-
tume design. Scott Weston
was the stage manager,
assisted by Natalie Smith,
with props designed and
built by Joe Gourley, along
with many other people
backstage as well as the
production staff.
It is certainly one play
that won't be erased from
my memory too soon.

Swept Away in the Heartland
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist
On the weekend that
Kenneth Starr released his
Official Big Book 0' Smut, I
went to America's Heartland
to see how ordinary citizens
were handling the ongoing
traumatic national crisis
involving President Clinton.
(Motto: "I Am Really Sorry,
Although Legally I Did
Nothing Wrong.")
As you know if you read this
column regularly, America's
Heartland is located in Areola,
111., which — to orient you —
is immediately south of its
arch-rival city, Tuscola. To get
to Areola, you take jet air-
planes as far as they will go,
then you switch to a "com-
muter" airline, which gets its
name, from the fact that "com-
mute?' sounds better than
"terrified passenger." You can
tell when you're dealing with
a commuter airline because
your flight number is longer,
in linear feet, than the
wingspan of your airplane.
Also there's only one counter
person, who is also a baggage
handler, mechanic, and pilot,
and who is making announce-
ments like:
"If you're waiting for Flight
36548257 from Moss Haven,
Music Review
be advised that this flight has
been delayed by sheep. For
passengers on Flight
5380235324576 to
Sludgemont, that flight will be
boarding just as soon as we
can find the, whaddycallit, the
thing that goes on the motor.
If you are a passenger on
Flight 35309086453456795
for Weeberville, we have a
weight limitation due to a
wing hole and we are asking
that you remove any excess
jewelry, car keys, breath
mints..."
The cockpit crew on my
flight consisted of two teen-
age boys. OK, that's an exag-
geration: One of them was 11.
I'm pretty sure that, once they
closed the little curtain
between the cabin and the
cockpit, they played "rock,
paper, scissors" to see who
would get to be the pilot. After
a 40-minute flight that lasted,
in Commuter Airline
Passenger Time, 163 hours,
we landed at Willard Airport,
which services Champaign,
111. (Motto: "Gateway To A
Whole Lot Of Flatness.")
From there I rented a car and
drove past a number of scenic
tractor distributorships to
Areola, where the annual
Broom Corn Festival was in
full swing.
The Broom Corn Festival
celebrates the era when Areola
was a leading supplier of a
type of corn used to make
brooms, and thus was a major
player in the high-stakes, fast-
paced world of international
broom manufacturing. Those
hectic days are over, and
today Areola has diversified
into other economic areas,
such as being the home of the
World's Largest Rocking
Chair. But the Broom Corn
Festival is still the highlight
of the year in Areola, drawing
people from as far as Paris. (I
refer to Paris, 111., which is 32
miles away.)
During the festival, the
streets of downtown Areola
are lined with booths, many
offering wares that reflect the
essence of American
Heartland consumer needs:
things on a stick. You can buy
brooms on a stick, every
imaginable kind of lawn orna-
ment on a stick, and several
major food groups on a stick,
including lollipops, ice cream,
corn dogs and —I am not mak-
ing this up — pork chops on a
stick.
Don't laugh: There is big
money in food on sticks. A
friend of mine, Jeff Arch,
claims that he lives near the
guy who invented the corn
dog, and Jeff reports: "He has
MILLIONS. I think the Eagles
played over there at a birthday
party.")
So anyway, as a profession-
al journalist, I spent several
minutes gauging the reaction
of the Broom Corn Festival
crowd to the ongoing traumat-
ic national crisis. Although I
did not hear anybody actually
mention the Starr report, it
was clear to me that many
Heartland residents — I esti-
mate 63 percent — were feel-
ing concerned, based on the
reflective manner in which
they chewed their pork chops.
The only direct reference to
the national crisis that I saw
occurred at the annual busi-
ness meeting of the World
Famous Lawn Rangers preci-
sion lawn mower drill team, of
which I am a proud member.
The Lawn Rangers are an elite
corps of men who, after a rig-
orous training regimen that
sometimes lasts for several
kegs, march in the Broom
Corn Festival parade, carrying
brooms and pushing highly
modified lawn mowers. A!ong
the parade route we astonish
the crowd by performing intri-
cate maneuvers such as: (1)
holding our brooms in the air;
(2) tossing our brooms to each
other; and (3) picking our
brooms up off the ground.
Naturally, we do this for a
good cause, namely: To
improve the morals of our
nation's youth Parents along
the parade route can say to
their children, "You better be
moral, or you'll wind up like
these men."
Anyway, at the Lawn Ranger
business meeting, which is
held in Ranger Ted Shields'
driveway, several Rangers
gave a thought-provoking pre-
sentation on the current trau-
matic national crisis, in which
one of the Rangers put on a
blue dress and, using a stan-
dard bratwurst
Well, I'm not going to tell
you what he did. As far as I'm
concerned, there is no room
for that kind of disgusting,
immature, low-rent, pathetic,
repulsive, sleazy behavior in
this great nation. Outside of
the White House, I mean.
Sheryl Crow's new album garners four stars
by Keith Gwillim
Assistant Lifestyles Editor
Clarion Call
Sheryl Crow's newest CD, The
Globe Sessions has just been
released. Since she obviously did-
n't put any effort into the album's
title (Globe refers to the name of
the studio it was recorded in), you
hope that her creative savvy went
into the record's content. You
wouldn't be hoping in vain. The
Globe Sessions is Crow's strongest
album yet by far. Deep, soulful,
and heartfelt, Crow has hit her
stride with this, her third disc.
While it isn't loaded down with
obvious singles like her two previ-
ous efforts, it is strong throughout
with hardly any filler, unlike her
two preceding albums, which were
plagued^ with unengaging songs.
The lead-off single, "My Favorite
Mistake" isn't quite the perfect,
radio-ready sing-along chorus
material Crow novices are used to,
but still manages to become infec-
tious. By far the most "fun" song
on the disc is 'There Goes The
Neighborhood", an insanly catchy
cut that sounds like a lost Don
Henley single (coincidendy, Crow
used to be a backup singer for
Henley). "Neighborhood's repeat-
ed horn refrain is irresistable, and
gives the album a nice anchor the
first listen around.

"Riverwide" is arguably her best
ballad yet, cutting out the emotion-
al excesses that made earlier tracks
in that vein ("Strong Enough") a
litde bit too contrived. It is beauti-
ful, simplistic and flowing, one of
her best songs to date, period.
Those first three tracks aren't the
end of the good material, either.
The album is a wealth of good
music; most of which is remark-
ably subdued and worlds more
mature than Tuesday Night Music
Club or the sophomore self tided
album.
It does slighUy slump towards the
end, but never for more than one
song. Considering the disc is only
11 songs long, it can't afford to
make many mistakes and still
come off as sounding good. The
Globe Sessions is a welcome return
to form after her over-produced
title song to the recent James Bond
film, Tomorrow Never Dies. That
song wasn't all that bad, but the
smaller scale of the traditional
band works as a much better frame
for Crow's voice than the full
orchestra. Even her habit of not
quite hitting certain notes, which
got very ingrating after a while on
past efforts, is endlessly endearing
on Globe.
Perhaps the only sub-par song on
the album is "The Diffucult Kind".
It is overly long, and is milked for
everything it's worth, which isn't
much. Her cover of Bob Dylan's
"Mississippi" isn't exactly
Grammy material either, but it can
be forgiven. When all is said and
done, Globe resonates quite well,
and leaves a nice aftertaste. While
people expecting an album filled
with "All I. Wanna Do'"s will be
dissapointed, everyone else will be
pleased. On my five-star rating
system, The Globe Sessions gets a
four.

' Sunny Day Real Estate*
stakes a claim in Cleveland
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Assistant
Lifestyles Editor
^ «■■■*■**
Cleveland, OH
The Odeon
October 1. 1998
It's a rare occurrence when
a concert can take you to a
whole new level, but on
October 1st at the Odeon in
Cleveland, the emo-core rock
group Sunny Day Real Estate
did just that. The show wasn't
about fancy light displays,
intricately crafted stage back-
drops, or a giant lemon (U2
anyone?). Rather it was about
the raw emotional, instrumen-
tal and lyrical power of this
modern-day progressive rock
band.
Without the aid of a massive
sound system, Sunny Day
Real Estate captivated the
packed, smoke-filled room.
Singer Jeremy Enigk held all
in sway that night, using his
thin, impossibly high-pitched
voice to grab hold of your
heart with firm, cold fingers.
Surprising the entire crowd
by not entertaining the rumors
that only material from their
new album, How It Feels To
Be Something On would be
played that night, Sunny Day
opened with the fan favorite
"In Circles". They performed
it with such a fierce intensity
that was almost frightening,
but also totally enthralling.
That wasn't the height of the
evening, either. In fact, it
would be near impossible to
pinpoint the exact defining

moment of the concert, there
were so many. It was truly
remarkable how the band and
the audience seemed to be on
the exact same wavelength.
Of course, Sunny Day could
have come out and played
their worst songs to the least
of their ability and the crowd
would have still loved it, so
horrendous were the two
opening bands, MK Ultra and
Ida. It's definitely a puzzler
how these two bands ended up
on the same bill as Sunny Day
Real Estate.
But not to dwell on the bad
points, Sunny Day more than
made up for the previous
bands' lack of musical know-
how. They really seemed to
be enjoying themselves;
drummer William Goldsmith
even laughed as one fan cried
out "Foo Fighters suck!"
For those of you who feel
left out of that joke,
Goldsmith had previously left
SDRE for the Foo Fighters.
Not a single note was missed
by the quartet, and the songs
contained even more power
live than on disc. It was unbe-
lievable how well they played
the new songs in their set.
You'd think they had been
playing them for years, they
sounded so good. Several
songs were turned on their
heads, giving them a different
spin, and the audience a pleas-
ant surprise.
Enigk's voice never once
faltered during the set; he
actually appeared to feed off
the crowd's energy, gathering
in intensity and volume as the
concert went on. His muse
was definitely smiling over
his shoulder that night.
Perhaps the apex of the con-
cert, vocally, was the slow-
climbing beginning of "The
Prophet". Enigk began by
uttering only a slight whisper-
ing sigh, which over the
course of the next few minutes
rose into an Olympian shout.
It's truly amazing how long
Enigk can hold a note.
It was also the finest ending
for a concert I have ever per-
sonally witnessed. Closing
out with a moving rendition of
the haunting "Days Were
Golden", the band members
left the stage one by one, until
only drummer Goldsmith was
left, gently tapping out the
soothing rhythm, until he, too
left the stage.
Sunny Day Real Estate
proved that they appreciate
their fans, also. All the band
members stayed and signed
autographs and received
praise for the concert (and just
about everything else, too)
afterwards. Enigk defies the
rock-star stereotype, as he
was remarkably soft-spoken
and easy to talk to. Guitarist
Daniel Hoerner could only
look on in awe as one fan
showed him his tattoos of
Sunny Day symbols.
"Wow..." was all he could
muster up. That quote pretty
much sums up my reaction to
the night as a whole, simplis-
tic as it seems. I can't imag-
ine a better way to have
closed out the evening.

'Better than Ezra'
better than average
by Jeff Say
Clarion Call
Lifestyles Editor
Pittsburgh, Pa
The Graffiti
October 4, 1998
It's not often a band can transform
itself from an alternative rock radio
staple with seemingly no personali-
ty to a plain old fun rock n' roll
band. Better than Ezra has been a
favorite of radio stations for a few
years and though when many
(including myself) have called
them one hit wonders, they still
continue putting out consistently
successful albums. On tour in sup-
port of their new album, "How
does you garden Grow," Better
than Ezra rolled into Pittsburgh
ready to knock the socks off the
crowd.
Before Better than Ezra hit the
stage, the two opening bands
already had the crowd jumping.
Anthenaeum, a band mat's quickly
becoming noticed, opened the night
with their brand of radio friendly
alternative rock. After drawing the
crowd in with their two biggest
hits, Flat Tire and What I know,
they pulled them in even further
with the rest of their self-titled
debut Maybe not the most talent-
ed band out in the scene today,
Anthenauem made up for it with
their enthusiasm and their connec-
tion with the crowd.
Next up,Possum Dixon, a mix of
60's rock with an alteranuve feel
was nothing to get excited over. I
was too busy watching the lead
singer try to pull off feeble magic
tricks, to even bother to listen to the
music.
When Better Than Ezra hit the
stage, the near empty dance floor
quickly became engulfed with a sea
of bodies. This is a band that can
appeal to anyone, from the
bra-tossing groupies, to the star
crossed teenagers to the lone drunk
man jumping from one spot to the
next. After coming out and treating
the crowd to some of their well
known hits like "Good" and "King
of New Orleans," they broke into
some of their new album. One of
the best songs "One More Murder"
is just as amazing live, although it
is only a normal rock song laid over
a bare-boned synthesizer riff,
"Murder" comes off sounding
remarkably accomplished.
One of the few low spots in the
show came courtesy of their new
song, "I Like It Like That", which
was tailor made for the toilet This
song is by far the worst of the
album and shows none of Better
Than Ezra's writing talents.
The best part of the show, was by
far the enthusiasm and level of
intensity they brought with them.
Instead of playing their hits and not
even interacting with the crowd,
they instead thrived on the energy
that was given to them and gave it '
back two-fold. They broke up their
songs with non-traditional covers
of LI Cool J's "Doin' It" and
Princes' "Sexy M***** F*****".
The crowd got into the act too,
when lead singer Kevin Griffith
taped audience members' voices
and inserted them into the songs.
Better Than Ezra also proved
that they haven't let stardom go to
their heads, as they mingled with
the audience for almost an hour
after the concert. Not just signing
autographs but interacting with
their fans and taking interest in
them.

The football team will look
to bounce back from its 38-3
loss to Shippensburg this
Saturday at IUP. However, the
Eagles will face a stiff chal-
lenge from the Indians, who
are in the thick of the Division
II playoff chase and still have
a chance at the PSAC-West
title. The Indians, led by Paul
Failla, a former Notre Dame
quarterback, also have
revenge on their minds, as the
Eagles have won the last two
games between the teams.

Raiders rout Eagles, 38-3
By Jason Dambach
Assistant Sports Editor
Call it disappointing. Call it dis-
heartening. Call it devastating.
Wide receiver Jamie Ware
shredded Clarion's defense for
236 yards on eight catches, as
Shippensburg scored 21 first-
quarter points en route to a 38-3
victory over the Golden Eagles
Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
The loss virtually eliminates
Clarion (3-4 overall, 1-2 PSAC-
West) from playoff contention in
the Northeast Region.
Meanwhile, Shippensburg (5-2, 2-
0) improved its playoff hopes and
will face nationally ranked
Slippery Rock this Saturday in a
battle for first place in the PS AC
Western Division.
The Red Raiders had a 14-0
lead before much of the crowd at
Memorial Stadium was settled in.
On the game's second play, quar-
terback Chris Gicking hit Ware
for a 73-yard touchdown pass to
give Shippensburg a 7-0 lead in
the first minute of action.
Then, less than three minutes
later, Gicking and Ware combined
for a 61 -yard pass and catch that
gave, the Red Raiders a 14-0
advantage.
"Their strong start left its mark
The Golden Eagles will look to

Bethany Melnick claimed sec-
ond place in singles competition
to lead the Clarion University ten-
nis team to a fifth-place finish at
the PSAC Championships held at
the Pennbriar Athletic Club in
Erie Saturday and Sunday.
, After receiving a bye in the first
round, Melnick breezed past
Martha Hall of California 6-0, 6-0
to earn a place in the semifinals.
The freshman then came up big
with a 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 win over
Millersville's Kristin Maneval,
the defending champion and 1997
PSAC Athlete of the Year.
Melnick then fell to top-seeded
Daniel Faretta of Bloomsburg 6-3,
6-0 in the finals.
Nonetheless, Melnick was the
only player not wearing a
Bloomsburg or Millersville uni-
form to reach the finals.
Bloomsburg and Millersville
finished in a deadlock for first
place in team competition with 31
points apiece. Shippensburg fin-
ished a distant third at 14, while
Slippery Rock was fourth at 11.
Close behind was Clarion with 10
points.
Rounding out the 11 -team field
was IUP (9), Edinboro (6),
Kutztown (5), West Chester (4),
California (1), and East
Stroudsburg (0).
Melnick wasn't the only Eagle
to make noise. Rachael Link won
her opening-round match 6-0, 6-0
over Lori Senkewitz of Edinboro
before falling to Headier Miller of
Millersville in tough, 6-1, 7-5
loss.
Amy Shaffer reached the semi-
finals with a bye and a win over
Kitt Camplese of West Chester

Courtesy of
Sports Information
Tony Purler, an outstanding col-
lege wrestler and currently ranked
No. 1 in the USA as a member of
the USA Freestyle team at 127.5
pounds, was recently named
assistant wrestling coach at

return to his native Chicago.
Clarion competes at the NCAA
Division I level in wrestling.
"We're very happy to have Tony
here at Clarion," said Clarion
head wrestling coach Ken Nellis.
"He is extremely well-liked, a
great person, and wrestler. Tony
brings outstanding collegiate and
freestyle experience to the pro-
gram that will help everyone in
our program. We know he is
going to do an outstanding job
here at Clarion."
"I really like Clarion," said
Purler. "I love the small-town
atmosphere, the people are friend-
ly, and I love to hunt This also
fits my ambitions. I wanted to
start up my coaching career, plus
have a place that would allow me
to train. I'm looking forward to
coaching here at Clarion."
Currently a member of the USA
National Freestyle team, Purler
competes at 127.5 pounds. The
1998 US Open National
Champion, he placed third at the
Goodwill Games, third at the
World Cup, and was 1-2 at the
1998 World Championships in
Iran the first week of September.
The Olympic Games are his main
goal, which will be held in
Sydney, Australia, in 2000.
He was second at the US Open
in 1997 at 127.5, fifth at 125.5 in
1995 and seventh in 1994 at
136.5. In 1993 he was US Open
runner-up at 125.5 in Greco-
Roman.
A native of Wentzville, Mo.,
Purler attended Wentzville High
School and graduated in 1988.
He was a two-time Missouri state
champion, capturing states at 105
his junior year with a 33-0 record,
then at 1 19 pounds his senior year
with a 35-0 mark.

led the Raiders to their fourth
touchdown of the first half, a two-
yard run by junior Jeremy
Brubaker.
Clarion's lone score of the after-
noon came off of the right foot of
kicker Frank VanWert, who
nailed a 37-yard field goal late in
the first half to make it 28-3.
Shippensburg 's Nathan
Robinson capped the scoring late
in the fourth quarter with a 17-
yard touchdown run that made the
final score 38-3.
The win was the Red Raiders'

Radio: C 93 (92.7)
After a tough 38-3 loss against Shippensburg Saturday, the Golden
Eagles look to rebound this Saturday at nationally ranked IUP. Kickoff at
George P. Miller Stadium is set for 1 :30 p.m.
"The series between the schools has been very spirited over the years.
Although IUP holds an overall edge of 44-21-3 dating back to 1927,
Clarion has won the last two meetings and is 3-3 in the last six. In 1 997
Clarion defeated the Indians 21-6 at IUP, while in 1996, a year Clarion
advanced to the NCAA semis, the Eagles gained a 49-15 victory. IUP
dropped the Eagles 14-9 in 1995, 44-17 in 1994, and 44-7 in 1993
Clarion won the 1992 game on the field 35-26.
Clarion enters Saturday's tilt with a 3-4 overall record (1-2 PSAC-
West), while the Indians, who started the season with a 5-0 record and
reached No. 2 in the NCAA poll before failing to Slippery Rock on a last-
second Hail Mary pass, enters the contest at 6-1 (1-1 PSAC-West).
"IUP has a very solid, well-rounded team," said Clarion head coach
Malen Luke. They are physical on offense and like to run the football.
(Quarterback Paul) Failla is a very athletic quarterback who can deliver
the deep pass and run out of the packet, which gives them big-play
potential with the run and the pass.
"I think the big improvement is on defense. Their defense is playing
extremely well and is tough to move the football on. We're expecting a
very hard-hitting game on both sides of the ball."
lUP's offense is averaging 28 points and 360.4 yards per game. The
Indians are getting 200.6 rushing yards and 159.9 passing yards per
game.
Failla, a former quarterback at Notre Dame who spent 3-1/2 years in
minor league baseball with the Anaheim Angels), has completed 82 of
161 for 1,095 yards and eight touchdowns with six interceptions.
The running game is paced by tailbacks Tink Stennett and Terrance
Wilson. Stennett started the year on defense, but was switched to the
offense and has been the leading rusher. In only four games at running
back, Stennett has 520 yards and four touchdowns on 87 carries.
Wilson, meanwhile, has 474 and three touchdowns on 103 tries.
The wide receivers are talented with Lewis Hicks (27 catches, 4112
yards, three touchdowns) and Jason Tirado (13 catches, 136 yard's two
touchdowns) leading the way.
Also, the IUP offensive line weighs in from tackle to tackle at an aver-
age Of 6-4, 300 pounds.
The IUP defense is No. 1 in the PSAC in total defense, yielding only
264.9 yards per game and No. 1 in rushing defense at 60.7 rushing.yards
per game. Opponents are getting 204.1 passing yards per game and
15.9 points per contest.
Freshman nose guard Tim Buffone anchors the down linemen, getting
24 hits, 1.5 sacks, and four tackles for losses.
Outside linebackers Quincy Tisdale and Roger Wilson guard the
perimeters, while inside linebackers Mike Borisenko and Phillip Woods
clog the middle.
The secondary has corners Barry Threats and Gradvell Taylor, with
strong safety James Tindell and free safety Adam Boylan.

Baseball returns
By Chris Pfeil
Associate Sports Editor
When the players' union went
on strike four years ago, it seemed
as though baseball had forever
lost the stature of being the
national pastime.
The cancellation of the 1994
World Series seemed to signify
the death of one of America's
long-standing institutions.
After months of negotiation, the
dispute was settled in time for the
1995 season. However, games
were played in front of sparse
crowds, as Americans made their
point that they were bitter over
the tarnished image of their
beloved game.
The players and owners vowed
that baseball would return to
glory once again. Gradually,
over the last few seasons, baseball
has made good on that promise.
After last year's World Series,
baseball began creeping back into
the hearts of Americans. The
Florida Marlins' dramatic Game
Seven victory over the Cleveland
Indians laid the foundation for
baseball's attempt to restore itself
as the nation's pastime.
Then, it happened. The 1998
season placed baseball back on
the pedestal of being America's
grand old game. This season was
Purler named

continued from p age 18
University and competed for the
Cowboys in 1990 and 91. As a
freshman in 1990 he was an
NCAA Division I qualifier at 118
pounds, then placed third at
NCAAs in 1991 at 126 pounds.
Sitting out his junior year, he
competed at the University of
Nebraska in 1993 and won the
NCAA title at 126 pounds. Also
a Big 8 champion that year, he
had a senior record of 37-2.
Purler returned to Oklahoma
State and graduated from OSU in
1994 with a degree in marketing.
He was an assistant coach at OSU
in 1994 and 95. The 1994
Cowboys won the NCAA team
title under head coach John
Smith.
A volunteer coach at Missouri
in 1995-96, he moved on to coach
the Olympic Freestyle team at
Oklahoma from 1996-98, before
coming to Clarion.
full of magic, in which Americans
were reminded of why the game
has been held so dear for genera-
tions in this country.
The 1998 season is what base-
ball is supposed to be like.
Families gathered in their living
rooms all over the country to
watch Mark McGwire and
Sammy Sosa chase, then break,
the home run record. I will never
forget getting goose bumps every
time they walked into the batter's
box.
The two sluggers handled
themselves with class and made
every American feel like they
were a part of history.
Nor will I forget watching Cal
Ripken's press conference after
he took himself out of the lineup
to end his consecutive games
played record. Ripken's streak is
perhaps the most amazing feat in
the history of sports.
Many other players etched their
names into the record books in
1998 as well. Barry Bonds
became the first player ever to hit
400 home runs and have 400
stolen bases. Kerry Wood set the
major league record for strikeouts
by a rookie. The Cubs
flamethrower sat down 20 batters
and gave up only one hit against a
powerful Houston Astros team.
Then, there was David Wells'
to glory
perfect game on May 17. It was
just another incredible moment in
the New York Yankees' legendary
season. The Yankees won 114
games as they methodically
marched to a world champi-
onship. Baseball fans had the
chance to witness one of the
greatest teams in baseball history.
The 1998 season provided
Americans with countless memo-
ries that will be talked about for
generations. What a story it will
be.
I grew up listening to my father
tell me stories about the baseball
memories of his youth. I was
raised on the game. This season
provided me the opportunity to
share many fond memories with
my father and younger brother.
This season introduced the same
magic that my family has known
to a whole new generation of
Americans.
That is what the 1998 season
was all about Baseball fans,
young and old, were able to share
the magical season together.
In an era of sports that has been
scarred by talk of salary caps,
franchise relocation, and player
holdouts, baseball showed
America what is right about
sports. This is the way that it is
supposed to be.
Who said baseball was dead?

Clarion's CNET project nears completion
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
After over three years and $3
million, Clarion University's
CNet project is almost complet-
ed.
Work began last semester when
fiber-optic cable was run through
steamlines to all campus build-
ings. Electronics packages were
also purchased so that the net-
work can operate in each build-
ing.
"We are in the process of
installing faceplates in all acade-
mic buildings, " said Karen
DeMauro, director of Computing
Services. "We are finished with
Still and then we are on to
Keeling as our last academic
building."
After all of the academic build-
ings, computer labs in the resi-
dence halls and administration
buildings are next to be connect-
ed to the network.
"Our aim was to get students
the services first," DeMauro said.
Once the faceplates were
installed, audits were done on
computer systems in every office
and classroom to determine if the
computers were able to connect
to CNet.
George Groff/Clarion Call
Becker computer lab will serve as one of the main hubs of CNet.
One of the major aims of the
project was wiring all seven res-
idence halls, DeMauro said.
That project has not yet hap-
pened, but she said that her office
is currently working on forming
a public-private partnership to
try and get the residence halls
wired without costing the stu-
dents additional money in tech-
nology fees.
"We want to to work with ven-
dors to supply telecommunica-
tion services and we want to see
it generate revenue to pay for the
wiring of the residence halls,"
she noted. "We want them (the
vendors) to put the money up
front so that we can get the
wiring installed and they can
accept the revenues late."
"President Reinhard is very
interested in getting the rooms
wired," she added. "She wants
the residence halls wired this
summer."
Even though there has been a
delay in that aspect of the pro-
ject, DeMauro said, "If the stu-
dents don't have to pay extra
fees, then it is worth the delay."
Clarion University's Master
Plan calls for construction of
new facilities, and CNet has
already been included in those
plans. "CNet will be included in
plans for everything, just like
telephone service," DeMauro
said.
For smaller classrooms, one
faceplate was installed in the
front of the room. On each face-
plate, there are two plugs to
accommodate two modems for
computers and one plug for the
telephone line. Larger class-
rooms have one faceplate in the
front and one in the back of the
room.
"There is a CNet connection in
each conference room and con-
nections are in every office on
campus. ..the capabilities are
there," she said.
DeMauro also touched upon
some of the benefits of the new
network system. "There will be
a quicker response when you

Shontz gives Clarion remaining crest
by Mike Chapaloney
Clarion Call Managing Edior
The remaining Clarion
University crest has arrived at the
University archives. Dr. Charles
J. Shontz, a retired University
administrater presented the
heraldic crest to President
Reinhard.
Accepted by the Board of
Trustees on March 7, 1968, the
crest was designed by David
Christie-Murray. A professor of
English, Christie-Murray was
visisting from the United
Kingdom. Two impression of the
three dimensional crest were
made by Art Through the Ages, a
firm in Los Angles.
The impressions were presented
courtesy of University Relations
Dr. Charles Shoutz presented the crest to President Diane
Reinhard.
"Shed the
light of
learning,
Clarion, and
be famous."
-The Clarion Crest
to Shontz by John Yount the vice
president of Art Through the Ages
and a former student of Shontz.
One was presented to then
President James Gemmell and the
other was retained by Shontz.
A heraldic crest is an insignia or
symbol that records history. The
University crest has a helmet sig-
nifying a public corporation and
consists of a shield of azure with
a clarion, which is a medieval
trumpet between three eagles
with inverted wings, a wreath
with an eagle holding a clarion
in its dexter claw. At the bottom
of the crest is the motto, "Clare
Clarion Clara" meaning "Shed
for the light of learning, Clarion,
and be famous."

OPINION
Hide Park
"We pushed her (out-
house) toilet over."
Emma Neuland
"A Halloween Tale"
The dogs would take us down
and bring us back from the coun-
try store in the winter. One day,
Mrs. Moore, our neighbor, got up
in the morning, and she hollered
over, "Tell Tom to get over and
get his old dog. It's lying dead in
the backyard."
So Tom went over, and it's true:
our dog's dead. She hit him with
a flat iron, and it was that good a
crack she killed him right out
She admitted she had a big ham
bone, and she'd coaxed him. She
was kind of a coarse old thing.
She never allowed her children to
go visiting with any neighbor.
We got a "talking-to" that when
Halloween comes, we are not
going outside the door. "The
Baker kids are not going to be
Halloweening from door to door,
understand?"
We knew what we were going
to do.
Tom said, "We're going to bed
at 8 o'clock like Mum said.
Mum's going to turn the lights
out, and nobody will be coming
to our door. But when you can
hear Dad snoring, we'll come
over, and we'll just tap you on
the arm to get up."
Now, our grape arbor was high
and iron, so it just went right up
to the window. The boys could
slide down poles of iron, but they
were afraid that I'd get hurt. Ted
said, "You go down the banister.
Mum and Dad won't hear that.
We went over to Lana Moore's
yard.
We didn't talk. But before we
went over, Tom said, "We'll say,
'One for the money, two for the
show, three to get ready, four to
go.' When I say, 'four to go,'
push."
So we did.
We pushed her (outhouse) toilet
over.
It went boom.
Well, we went to bed.
Now Tom was full of the devil.
He sat by the window and
watched because Mrs. Moore
always went to the toilet at 6
o'clock in the morning. She goes
down there, and she sees her toi-
let down. So she pulls up her
dress in the back yard.
Tom had come over to my bed
and he said, "Oh you could have
got your picture taken!" He says,
"Now, my god, don't tell any-
one.
It wasn't very long until old
Lana Moore came over. She
knew who did it. She says, "Your
kids were over there and knocked
my toilet down last night."
Dad hadn't gone to work yet.
He said, "Now Mrs. Moore, my
children were in bed before 8
o'clock. I can swear to it, every
one."
You know, Mum and Dad got
old and maybe twenty years
afterwards we kept that secret.
Then we told 'em. I thought it
was the best one we ever pulled.
But it wasn't as dirty as she did.
This Hide Park appeared in the
October 31, 1991 issue of the
Clarion Call. Emma Neuland
was an 88-year-old resident of
Lucinda when she shared her
story with Communication grad-
uate, Peter Lowe.

Editorial
"When UAB brings
in bands, where are
those students?"
Jeff Say, Lifestyles Editor
"Pathetic!"
That was a term used by a stu-
dent who attended the Blues
Traveler concert two weeks ago
in Clarion.
The term was directed towards
the small number of students who
attended the Univeristy Activities
Board sponsored event. Only
1,150 people attended the show.
(200 of these students were
working at the event.) So that's
950 people who paid, let's say
800 of them were Clarion
University students. What's
wrong with this picture? There
are 6,000 students enrolled at
Clarion and only one sixth of the
campus came out to see a nation-
ally known band. In my opinion,
that's worse than pathetic: that's
downright absurd.
Who does UAB have to bring in
to excite the students of Clarion?
Granted, Blues Traveler may not
appeal to every one but students
could have shown up just to sup-
port the UAB and to show that
they actually care about activities
on campus. The tickets were
merely ten dollars with a student
ID. Ten dollars for a band that
usually charges thirty for a nor-
mal show. That's one hell of a
steal if you ask me, but appar-
ently very few others felt that
way.
I hear students complaining all
the time about nothing to do.
Well when UAB brings in bands,
where are those students? I've
been enrolled at Clarion for two
and a half years now, and every
year UAB tries to provide the
campus with at least one big
concert In the past the turnout
has been even worse than the
Blues Traveler concert, was that
was due to the lack of appeal of
the bands to the students. Blues
Traveler is by far one of the
biggest bands that has performed
at Clarion in the past decade.
Still, I've heard students com-
plain that the reason they didn't
see the concert was that Blues
Traveler isn't as big as they were
a few years ago. One of the other

READER RESPONSE
"People may give it other names, but it is
still bigotry none the less."
Dear Editor,
I would like to address this
response to Craig M. Dorn,
whose letter in the October 15
issue of the Clarion Call, struck
me as a mixed message.
Although I can appreciate Mr.
Dorn's advice "for everyone to
care about the rest of society,
regardless of our various fears,
professions, race, lifestyles, and
faith-based choices," I strongly
believe that the "caring" for those
people often involves an accep-
tance of who they are. This is
something that the Christian
groups on campus have forgot-
ten. When there is no acceptance
for a particular group's tenden-
cies, such as the tendency of
homosexual people to have feel-
ings for members of the same
sex, there will inevitably be
attempts to try to change that
group and flady ignore or con-
demn there tendencies.
When Christians ask lesbians or
gays to change into supposedly
virtuous heterosexuals, .they are
essentially asking them to change
who they are (certainly not a
show of compassion!)
Repeatedly, homosexuality is
deemed "sinful,' and thus unde-
sirable, An assumption I think is

not only erroneous but cruel.
However, although he and his
fellow Christians are free to hold
Letters to
the Editor
that opinion, it is not fair to the
gay, lesbian and bisexual com-
munity if they act out those opin-
ions, given that it would cause
more harm than good.
I don't think many people in
favor of homosexual acceptance
would be impressed with Mr.
Dorn's slogans such as
"Tolerance is a virtue of people
with no convictions," given that
bigotry is NOT a moral convic-
tion. People may give it other
names, but it is still bigotry none
the less.
However, I want to make it
clear to Mr. Dorn and to other
people who may have misinter-
preted my last letter, that my aim
is not to denounce Christianity
per se. The intent of my letter is
not to condemn anyone's belief
in Christ, God, modes of wor-
ship, or afterlife. My letter was
only to show my incompatibility
with Christian morality. If one
appreciates Christ's message to
be loving, accepting and non-
judgmental of one's neighbors,
homosexual tolerance could actu-
ally be seen as an extension of
Christian morality.
Mr. Dorn, I think your words
about love and caring are well-
spoken, but to give the words
"love" and "caring" meaning, the
word "tolerance" must be incor-
porated into their definition.

READER RESPONSE
Letter to the Editor
"This is not a case of sour grapes..."
Dear Editor,
I would like to add a few com-
ments and observations of my
own to Mr. Wakes' and Mr.
Hall's letters to the editor in the
October 15 edition of The
Clarion Call.
As a former employee, I
observed, on a daily basis, the
treatment employees received
from the present management.
They need to take an employee
management and sensitivity
course and a few leadership
courses. The next time you see an
employee of Reimer with tears in
their eyes or a sad or angry
expression on their face, please
consider the reason.
Chartwells Catering has
replaced Daka, but the problem
seems to remain. Perhaps it is the
management who needs to be
replaced.
As a former manager in anoth-
er profession, I found it astonish-
ing and sad to observe these
managers. It's not surprising that
Chartwells has been advertising
for help since August.and the
turnover rate is exceedingly high.
This is not a case of 'sour
grapes' on my part, as I volun-
tarily left my position at the
French Quarter. I enjoyed the stu-
dents and my co-workers. The
bagel sandwiches, espresso cof-
fees, and smoothies are very pop-
ular.
The next time you're in French
Quarter, observe the number of
employees. If there are less than
four, and this is most of the time,
then you know why the lines are
so long.
Students have told me that they
expect an hour wait during lunch
time. To me, that would be unac-
ceptable if I were a member of
management.
As an alumni of C.U.P., surely,
we can do better by our students
and our Reimer employees.
Sincerely,
Doris Moore
Strattanville, PA
Editorial continued from Page 2...
complaints is that Blues Traveler doesn't appeal to them.
Everyone's heard the saying "You can't please every one all the
time, just please some of the people some of the time." Well that's
my solution to the problem. Instead of having one big concert that
people are going to complain about, have smaller more niche orient-
ed concerts. Instead of paying $48,000 for one band, spread it out
among four or five bands.
The main issue in all of this is for student involvement. Voice your
opinion. Let the UAB know who you want to play at Clarion and this
time, show up.

Faculty promotions, sabbaticals announced
by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Assistant
Managing Editor
Clarion University president Dr.
Diane Reinhard recently
announced the promotions and
sabbatical leaves granted for the
1999-2000 academic year.
The promotions were effective
on August 15.
According to Dr. John Kuhn,
Provost/Vice President for
Academic Affairs, for both pro-
motions and sabbaticals, profes-
sors follow criteria in the
Collective Bargaining Agreement
handbook .
The University is allowed to
grant sabbaticals to up to seven
percent of the faculty at a time.
Kuhn said that because of the cost,
however, usually five percent are
awarded sabbaticals.
A faculty member submits a pro-
posal as to why he/she may want a
sabbatical leave and gives a
detailed proposal of such a
request. Kuhn said requests have
to do with fulfilling graduate
requirements or exploring a high-
er field of learning such as writing
a book or research.
After the recommendations are
given to Dr. Reinhard, Kuhn said
they all are usually approved.
For promotions, the same guide-
lines apply. Professors apply after
they fulfill requirements based on
local procedures. They are evalu-
ated on the basis of teaching,
research, service to the communi-
ty, and professional manner.
To change from instructor to
assistant professor, the applicant
will meet a minimum of a
Master's degree plus 10 semester

Faculty Senate
Haberaecker breaks down budget
by Angela Everly
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Vice President for Finance and
Administration, Dr. Heather
Haberaecker, presented Faculty
Senate with their first budget
report in more than two years dur-
ing their meeting Monday after-
noon.
Haberaecker reported to Senate
the distribution breakdown of
1997- 199o total revenues.
She said that 83.4 percent of
total revenue was distributed to
unrestricted funds. Out of the
unrestricted funds, 70.9 percent
were designated as Educational
and General (E & G) Fund.
The E & G Fund is a combina-
tion of undesignated and designat-
ed funds differentiated by weight
of internal restrictions.
Restricted funds are available
for financing operations that are
limited by donors, which account
for 16.4 percent of the total rev-
enues.
The Auxiliary Fund, a self-sup-
porting entity, accounts for 12.5
percent of total revenue. This
fund exists to furnish goods or
services to students, faculty or
staff, such as student unions, resi-
dence halls, dining facilities, and
recreation centers.
In old business, Faculty Senate
again discussed the academic cal-
endar for the 2000-2001 academic
year. Although Dr. Doug Smith,
Chair of the Committee on
Student Affairs, proposed three
different calendars to Senators, a
vote was taken to approve the
original calendar. The approved
calendar will now give students
four days off for Winter Holiday
and six days off during Spring
break.
Brian McQuillan, Student
Senate representative, reported on
the 50th anniversary of the
Clarion Students Association
(CSA).
The anniversary was celebrated
during Autumn Leaf Festival

In new business, Chair of the
Committee on Courses and
Programs of Study -(CCPS) Dr.
Elizabeth MacDaniel reminded
Senators that open hearings are
scheduled for Oct. 30 and Nov. 6
in 246 Gemmell Complex. She
also requested approval of several
special topics courses, minor cur-
ricula changes (changes in course

bers), proposals of general educa-
tion courses and an experimental
course.
Special Topics courses request-
ed were Honors 130: Honors

browser we have installed, there
will be more server sharing, and
eventually we will be able to pro-
vide central storage onto the net-
work where the file will be auto-
matically backed up," she said.
All of the wiring necessary for
the project was completed by
September and DeMauro said the
remainder of the work revolves
around the electronics compo-
nent.
FORE Systems was awarded the
contract to build the electronics
package for CNet.
Originally, ATM technology
was to be used for the project, but
OC-3 and OC-12 speed technolo-
gy is being implemented.
DeMauro described the new
technology as between three and
12 times faster than the ATM that
was originally set to be used.
Even though most of the work
for the project has been complet-
ed, there is still some work that
needs to be finished behind the
scenes in order to get the entire
operation running smoothly.
"The company (FORE Systems)
is still installing equipment and
fine tuning the network,"
DeMauro noted. "FORE is also
training our people on the new
system.
. As a part of CNet, all computer
terminals connected to the net-
work were audited to see if they
could be readily connected to the
network.
"We also dropped off a form to
let the user know that we were
there and what was done,"
DeMauro said.
For computers that were unable
to connect to CNet, Computing
Services will send a list of what is
needed for the computer in order
to make the connection, and also
provides an list of approximately
how much the necessary items
will cost.
DeMauro said that her office is
excited about the prospect of a
public-private partnership in
order to wire the seven residence
halls.
"We are the first to try some-
thing like this, and we are work-
ing with the State System in order
to help them by letting them know
about roadblocks we encounter
and what can be done to fix
them," she said.
'This partnership project paves
the way for the other 13
schools... we hope to expand the
project to the other universities of
the State Sytem," DeMauro
noted.
This project is being funded by
a bond issue through the State
System of Higher Education
Board of Governors.

members were: Paula Amrod
(music), Kate Eggleton (Biology),
Karen Bolinger (Mathematics),
Larry Bering (Chemistry), Bill
English (HPE), Beverly Smaby
(History), and Sylvia Stalker
(Education).
To support an application for
promotion, the candidate must
submit evidence of achievement
related to promotion criteria to
their Department Chairperson not
later than Nov. 1 or in accord with
the provisions of the Collective
Bargaining Agreement.
The evidence must be sufficient
to determine past performance
and to suggest the probability of
future excellence. Evidence must
be presented in a manner which
will enable the committee to
clearly determine what has
occurred since the last presenta-
tion.
While each candidate shall be
evaluated on all criteria, emphasis
shall be placed on an increasing
number of criteria for particular
ranks in an ascending order from
assistant professor to professor so
that a rising level of performance
shall be expected for promotion to
higher tasks.
In applying for a sabbatical, five
points were evaluated by the
Sabbatical Leave Committee.
The points are: Appropriateness
to applicant's position,
Significance of the proposed pro-
ject, Quality of the proposal,
Feasibility of the proposed project
with a maximum rating of five,
and Appropriateness to a leave of
absence, also with a maximum
rating of five.
According to a memo from
Chair of the Sabbatical Leave
Committee Kate Eggleton, the
committee felt that this was need-
ed to rate the proposals, not only
on whether they were feasible, but
whether" they truly justified a sab-
batical in order to be completed.

CU observes AIDS Awareness Week
by Danielle Boccio
Clarion Call Staff Writer
This year, the Northwest
Pennsylvania Rural AIDS
Alliance, in conjunction with
Keeling Health Center, Residence
Life, and the student workers at
these operations put together the
first ADDS Awareness Week at
Clarion University.
The week began Monday with a
candlelight march from Hart
Chapel to Gemmell Student
Complex, followed by a safer sex
social in the Multi-purpose room.
Lori Meszaros from Northwest
Pennsylvania Rural AIDS
Alliance said she was pleased
with the turnout Monday night.
"This is a good representation of
the student body and good support
for the cause," she said.
Senior Liza Suhr expressed her
reason for marching and taking
part in the week.
"I feel it is important for stu-
dents to show awareness of this
disease and to realize that it can
happen to them, their friends and
family," she said.
In 1997 alone, 633,000 adoles-
cents and adults living in the
United States were reported to the
Center for Disease Control (CDC)
to have been exposed to HIV, the
virus that causes AIDS.
Out of that 633,000, 40,534 men
were reported to have been
exposed to HIV.
AIDS is the leading killer of
African-Americans between the
ages of 25 and 44. AIDS-related
incidents are the third leading
killer among women between the

ages of 25 and 44.
During the week, a speaker liv-
ing with the disease spoke to stu-
dents in health classes.
Tables were set up at each resi-
dence hall with information about
AIDS.
Also, free condoms were dis-
tributed and people were sitting at
the tables answering questions
that anyone might have had.
Another event for AIDS
Awareness Week was a "Condom
Olympics" this past Wednesday in
Nair Hall.
World AIDS Day will be
observed on Dec. 1.
Red ribbons are commonly worn
to represent AIDS awareness and
the need to continue research to
find a cure for this disease.
The AIDS Alliance has estab-
lished a rural health care clinic to
provide people in northwest
Pennsylvania with specialized
HIV/AIDS medical specialists,
who are based in Pittsburgh to
travel throughout the region to
provide medical care to patients.
The medical specialists are
available to local primary care
physicians for consultation.
College students raise concerns over
constant construction on campuses
by Elana Ashanti Jefferson
Campus Correspondent
College Press Exchange
Serylle Horwitz discovered
unusual damage in her dorm room
last year when she returned to
campus after spending winter
vacation at her parents' house in
Israel.
"There was this massive crow-
bar sticking through the wall,"
said the sophomore at Columbia
University in New York. "My
roommate and I freaked out."
A building that eventually will
house the university's new student
union was going up right outside
Horwitz's room. Someone had
hammered a long, metal bar so
hard it jutted out of one building
and into another — right through
Horwitz's wall. The pipe stuck
out just inches above one of the
beds.
Still scaring Horwitz and her
roommate is the idea that one of
them could have been sleeping
there when the accident happened.
While this dorm horror story is
unique, it's not hard to find stu-
dents across the country who are
coping with noisy, dusty construc-
tion projects.
Colleges and universities have
dramatically increased spending
to build and renovate their cam-
puses. College Planning &
Management magazine recently
reported that colleges expect to
complete $6.3 billion in construc-
tion projects this year — an 8.6
percent increase over 1997.
Public schools appear to be get-
ting most of the money. In 1998,
the legislatures of at least 10
states, including Alabama,
Connecticut, Illinois, Nebraska,
New York and Tennessee — have
approved some of their largest
financial commitments to campus
construction in decades.
In April, Minnesota legislators
agreed to borrow $143 million for
rebuilding and repairs — the
largest loan ever granted for con-
struction in that state's college
system.
"Just like businesses, universi-
ties need to grow and make
progress," said Lori Kay, director
of transportation services at the
University of Wisconsin at
Madison.
While many students say they
like the idea of improving their
campus, they despise suffering
through the inconveniences of
construction, knowing that future
students will reap the benefits.
"The noise is the real issue,"
Horwitz said. "You don't really
understand what it means to live
next to a construction site until
you move in." Then there are
those other little issues to worry
about, such as parking, sleeping
and traveling across campus.
Students at the University of
Wisconsin at Madison have
watched numerous construction
projects tangle
traffic, eat up nearly 1,000 park-
ing spaces and foil campus bikers
and pedestrians.
At the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, students
eat in a temporary, plywood hut
that serves as a makeshift dining
hall while the real one, Lenoir
Hall, is gutted and rebuilt.
As if that's not enough, nearly
50 other construction projects,
including the development of a
new performing arts center and
renovation of several dormitories,
mar the Chapel Hill campus.
"It's really disturbing to see it all
going on at once," said Hope
Jackson, a senior psychology
major at UNC. "Descriptions of
Carolina as the 'Southern Side of
Heaven' are now rendered false
by the noise, machinery and open
expanses of mud."
At the University of Arizona,
students are scrambling to find a
new place to hold their annual
"Spring Fling," booked as the
country's largest student-run car-
nival.
Construction of what the school
is calling an "Integrated
Instructional Facility" and expan-
sion of some offices will make it
nearly impossible for the ninth
annual event to be held on campus
next year.
Future students at the University
of Oregon at Eugene can look for-
ward to a new student union and a
Nike sports center, but neither
means much to senior Jennifer
Gleason.
"I won't be here to use them,"
she said.
Library renovation is what both-
ers dedicated academics most.
Sara Comer, an American studies
major at Stetson University in
northern Florida, said the process
of revamping her campus library
"has created a distracting environ-
ment that is not conducive to
studying."
Unlike much of the grumbling
and griping coming from the rest
of the country, undergraduates at
Columbia say they're not too
bothered by the renovation of
their main library because con-
struction typically happens
between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. when
they're in class.
But perhaps an even bigger rea-
son for their indifference is that
they don't use their library to
study anyway. They hang out
there instead.
And why is that? Well, their
campus options are limited —
especially given that they haven't
had a student union for the last
two years. A new one is, well,
under construction.
"The study environment here (at
the library) really couldn't get any
worse," said Marc Sjolseth, a
junior who works at the Columbia
library. "It's kind of a pain when
the people next to you are eating
Cheetos and talking about who
did whom at some party last
weekend."

After receiving a Fulbright Scholarship
Marketing professor on his way
to Europe next semester
by Patricia Boberg
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Dr. Timothy Wilson, professor
of marketing at Clarion
University, was recently named a
J. William Fulbright Foreign
Scholarship recipient.
Wilson will spend five months,
beginning in February, teaching
courses to be determined at the
Technical University of Civil
Engineering in Bucharest,
Romania.
"It is kind of flattering to be
selected for the Fulbright scholar-
ship.. .it's an honor," said Wilson.
"Of 2,000 selected this year, I was
among one of those."
He added, "It is a reflection in
part of Clarion University. People
tend to forget that other people
look on us very favorably."
Wilson received his B.S., M.S.,
and Ph.D. degrees from Carnegie
Mellon University and an MBA
and Ph.D. from Case Western
Reserve University.
He has been a member of the
Clarion University faculty since
1987.
Over the past six years, he has
taught and conducted research
internationally in Sweden, Czech
Republic, Austria, and Malta.
"I have some experience in these
types of environments, but none
in Romania," said Wilson. "I
have been assured that they are
nice and pleasant people, so I'm
looking forward to it."
"I have found international
teaching to be a very pleasant
experience," Wilson noted.
"When I wrote my Fulbright pro-
posal, I requested assignment to a
country with an emerging econo-
my.
"My courses will be taught in
English. Having a native English
speaker as an on-staff teacher
seems to be an attraction for busi-
ness programs outside the U.S.,"
he added.
Wilson credits the marketing
department and the College of
Business Administration for sup-
porting his international teaching
ventures.
"They (the College of Business
Administration) provided the
opportunity for me to do this," he
said. "There is never a hesitancy
to grant leaves, even though mar-
keting is a small department and it
creates hardships for the other fac-
ulty members."

Average
college costs up
four percent,
survey finds
by Christine Tatum
College Press Exchange
The average cost of college
tuition rose four percent this year,
outpacing the rate of inflation,
according to an annual survey
released by the College Board.
This year's increase is only
slightly smaller than last year's
rise, researchers said.
And much like last year's
increase, this one is more than
twice the rate of inflation, which
rose 1.6 percent for the 12
months ending in August.
Four-year, private institutions
raised their rates more than any
other — despite many complaints
in recent years about the price
tags attached to their offerings.
Room and board costs also rose
between three and five percent on
average, the survey said.
"We must encourage colleges to
do even more to hold the line on
rising prices even as we
encourage families to plan
ahead," said Donald Stewart,
president of the College Board.
Among the survey's highlights:
■ Students at private, four-year
schools are paying an average of
$14,508 to be there— a five
percent increase over last year.
■ Four-year, public colleges are
charging an average of $3,243,
up four percent.
■ Tuition and fees at private,
two-year colleges rose four per-
cent to $7,333.
■ Tuition at two-year public col-
leges is up four percent to
$1,633.
The College Board also
released its analysis of financial
aid trends and found that the
money available to students dur-
ing the 1997-98 academic year
grew six percent to $60 billion.
Loans make up 60 percent of
the money available to students,
while grants make up less than 40
percent — a ratio that is almost
exactly the opposite from those
reported in the late 1970s.
The College Board's figures are
based on reports from more than
3,000 colleges that gave informa-
tion for both the 1997-98 and
1998-99 school years.
The current tuition rate for
undergraduate students who
attend any of the 14 State System
of Higher Education (SSHE)
schools is $3,468.

by Renee Rosensteel
Contributing Writer
The AP wire story read
"Man killed by tiger."
The man was Charles E.
Lizza III, a former photo
editor of The Call from
1986-87.
Fate had taken him on
an intense and beautiful
journey far from the
quiet mountains of
Pennsylvania to circus
tents and finally to find a

cats.
He died on October 8,
1998 at age 34, acciden-

Siberian tiger that he had
raised from a cub.
He didn't start out as a
tiger trainer. He was just
a kid from a Catholic
high school in western
Pennsylvania who liked
to take pictures and play
drums.
He was different
though. He lived with a
fire in him... a fire to
learn, a fire to experi-

State System News
Dixon re-elected SSHE chairman for Term # 16
The State System of Higher Education's Board of Governors unan-
imously re-elected F. Eugene Dixon, Jr. as its chairman for an
unprecedented 16th consecutive term.
Mr. Dixon of Lafayette Hill is the Board's founding chairman,
having served in the position since the System's inception in 1983.
"I have been proud to serve the State System of Higher Education
as it has grown into one of the leading educational systems in the
nation," Mr. Dixon said. "All of the Board members with whom I
have served over the years have worked extremely hard to help push
the system universities toward excellence. I am grateful to the current
Board members for their continued confidence in my leadership, and
look forward to serving another term as chairman."
State Senator F. Joseph Loeper of Derail Hill chaired the nominat-
ing committee that recommended Mr. Dixon for another term as
Board chair.
"Mr. Dixon's long service to the higher education in Pennsylvania
is unparalleled," Sen. Loeper said. "As chairman of the Board of
Governors, he has provided outstanding service and strong leadership
to the State System, and, I am certain, will continue to do so."
SSHE opens new University Center in Pittsburgh
The State System of Higher Education recently opened a new
facility in the historic Alcoa building in downtown Pittsburgh,
marking another step in the transformation of the site into the
Regional Resource Center (RRC).
The new State System University Center for Southwest
Pennsylvania will link businesses and industries in the 13 county
region with the resources of all 14 state-owned universities in order
to help the companies identify and meet their education and train-
ing needs.
The larger resource center grew out of the recommendations of a
task force of the region's higher education institutions that was
convened last summer by the Working Together Consortium.
That group sought "to place the region's higher education assets
and strengths in the service of economic development in the south-
western Pennsylvania" through the creation of the center at 425
Sixth Ave.
The new University Center within the RRC signifies the System's
commitment to contribute to that overall effort.
It will be utilized to develop a variety of programs and services
in such areas as executive education, policy and planning, technol-
ogy transfer and workforce development.
"This is vet another tool in our portfolio of capabilities we can
offer to businesses who are already here or who are interested in
coming to the region," said John Thornburgh, president of Penn
Southwest Association and a member of the State System of Higher
Education's Board of Governors who chaired the effort to establish
the new University Center.
The System universities will work with other higher education
institutions in the region in the development of needed programs.
"We are excited to be part of this collaborative effort," said State
System Chancellor James H. McCormick. "This facility will
enable all of our universities to become actively involved in the
region's growth, and we look forward to working with businesses
throughout southwestern Pennsylvania to help them meet the
educational and training needs of their workforce."

Nationally known expert visits Clarion
Dr. Jack Levin exposes
the truth on serial killers
by Colleen Leonard
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Some may mistake him for
Albert Einstein, David Crosby, or
even Captain Kangaroo. With his
long white hair and bushy mus-
tache he could very well pass for
someone other than himself. His
name? Dr. Jack Levin and he
knows serial killers like the back
of his hand. He was never partic-
ularly interested or "obsessed"
about investigations on serious
crimes, but after doing a study in
1980 with a college partner,
observing serial killers eventually
became his profession.
On Tuesday, October 27, Levin
gave a disturbing presentation in
the Gemmel multi-purpose room
on vicious serial killers, some
well known and others unfamiliar.
He reamains a nationally recog-
nized expert on serial killers and
has appeared on such shows as
Oprah, Good Morning America,
20/20, Geraldo, and Unsolved
Mysteries. Levin has written over
nineteen books, including his lat-
Dr. Jack Levin
Levin explained in great detail
about the murders committed by
such people as John Wayne gacy,
theodore bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer,
and the Unabomber. By using
color slides to project images of
the killers and their victims, it
became apparent that these
hideous crimes are far from fan-
tasy. One of the most interesting
points that Levin made was that
most serial killers don't look like
the strangers we have always
Jade Scholl/Clarion Call
Dr. Jack Levin presented "Overkill: Serial Murder
Exposed" Tuesday night in the Gemmell Multi-Purpose
j
room.
est sequel, "Killer on Campus,"
which takes a look into the
grotesque murders of five college
students in Florida. He has had
numerous interviews with the
killers themselves, as well with
their families and friends.
been warned about. They look
like every day people, and that is
why they are usually so difficult
to catch.
Many people wonder what
exactly makes a serial killer's
mind tick, and sometimes the
answers ae more disturbing than
the killers themselves. Most kill
simply becaue it is exciting for
them, and Levin refers to this
enjoyment as a "hobby". Usually,
there is never an apparent motive,
whereas in a homocide, it may be
for anger or revenge. The targets
are commonly strangers, and this
in some ways fills their fantasy of
ultimate power. Pictures may be
taken, video may be filmed, and
souvenirs may be obtained to
relive the memory of the murders
committed.
Levin admits to becoming much
more cautious and aware after
seeing hideous images and doing
in depth studies. He also explains
that there is a limited need for
such caution. For example, more
deaths are related to crimes such
as domestic violence than serial
killings, and only two hundred
American lose their lives due to
serial killers. It is a "rare phe-
nomenon", and that is the reason
why our society is so intrigued by
the lives of these killers. It is
however, something to think
about the next time you pass a
stranger on the street.

Concert review
The Clarks rock Altoona
by Kelly Palma
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Even getting there two hours
early was not good enough,
every table was full. The
Clarks certainly do attract a
wide variety of people. Young
and old alike, along with those
who I shall call groupies came
from miles around. My defini-
tion of a groupie is one who
can sing along to most of the
songs, and be willing to travel
a number of miles to get there.
Friday, October 23rd, The
Gingerbread Man club in
Altoona was the place to be.
The G-Man which is smaller
than the Loomis was filled to
capacity and then some. "The
Clarks were a very exciting
band to watch, and that was
proven by the large crowd at
the G-Man," said Michael
Chapaloney.
Grapevine, a local band out
of Pittsburgh opened and
played about an hour long set.
For some it couldn't be over
soon enough. For others, the
five to ten people who made up
the Grapevine groupie club,
sang along to every single
word. Their music could be
described in one word - loud.
Of course, that may be attrib-
uted to the fact that I was sit-
ting in front of a speaker. But
even what seemed to begin as
ballads ended up being fast,
loud, rock songs. Then again, I
am biased. I was there to see
The Clarks, and it didn't mat-
ter who was on stage if it was-
n't them. Grapevine is current-
ly recieving massive airplay
from 105.9 the X in Pittsburgh,
and can be heard on their X-
Files CD.
Then finally after two hours
of waiting, The Clarks took
the stage. By this point in the
evening the crowd was suffe-
ciently inebriated, so everyone
was on their feet. It was a mix
of dancing, singing, and drink-
ing for some. They kept the
crowd captivated with their
music for over two hours.
They played mainly new mate-
rial from their forthcoming CD,
Clarks Live!, which hits stores
in 25 days. In addition to
almost every song off of
Someday Maybe, one song that
sticks firmly in mind is their
rendition of the Violent
Femmes' "Blister In The Sun."
Something that The Clarks do
not normally perform, but we
were special as Scott Blasey,
the lead singer told us.
It was an evening mostly
filled with fun. It was only
marred by one thing - the fight
that broke out on the dance
floor. The G-Man security staff
literally had to drag four people
out of the club. Blasey actual-
ly stopped singing to repre-
mand them himself. That was
something that truly impressed
me. He showed a true concern
for the fans, and I could hardly
believe it. After the ruckus,
things went on as planned.
There was, however, much
more dancing room, so I made
my way up to the front. All
right, I'll admit it, I am a
Clarks groupie. I have been
sucked in, they are just that
good. For anyone who hasn't
seen them, I would definitely
recommend it. They rock the
free world, to quote Neil
Young. "They were great. It's
nice to see a band from my area
doing so well. ..I think they will
only get more popular," com-
mented Steve Ostrosky.
1998 marks 12 years together
for The Clarks, who are com-
prised of Scott Blasey, Robert
James, Greg Joseph, and David
Minarik. They started out as
just a group of friends at

Pennsylvania who decided to
form a band. So far they have
amassed a fan base of over
11,000 people all over
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West
Virginia. The Clarks own their
own music label called King
Mouse Records, and release all
of their music through it. They
have been named "Best Local
Band' for six consecutive years
by The Pittsburgh City Paper.
The Clarks have also gotten
some national media attention.
They were profiled by Billboard
Magazine in its "Continental
Drift" column, which spotlights
up and coming regional artists.
The Clarks soon-to-be released
album, Clarks Live!, will be
their fifth full-length album.
This evening the band is playing
in Columbus at Ludlow's,
Friday they are at the WDVE
Brew Bash in Pittsburgh, and
Saturday they can be found at
The Fantasy II in Stoystown.
Unless The Clarks come back
to Clarion you may have to trav-
el quite a ways to see them.
One of their managers said, "We
would gladly come back, but we
heard that Clarion spent all of
their money on Blues
Traveler... no one has contacted
us yet."
'That 70 's Show'
debuts on Fox
by Jessica Wallenfels
College Press Exchange
On an impossibly hot day in
the San Fernando Valley, an
impossibly beautiful girl is
"freezing." The air conditioning
is too much for the ballarina-
thin, 14-year old Mila Kunis,
who is getting made up for
"That 70s Show," the new Fox
sit-com airing on Sundays at 8
ET.
"That 70s Show" chronicles
the lives of suburban teens com-
ing of age in the Me Decade —
and Kunis sets a fine example,
at one point during the pilot
actually ranting "Me! Me me me
me me!" at her dim boyfriend.
The show centers around
semi-geeky Eric Foreman,
(Topher Grace) in whose base-
ment the neighborhood kids
hang out. Kunis is the high
maintenance girlfriend of Eric's
bud, Kelso. It's 1976: the girl
next door (Laura Prepton) has
turned ravishing and Fez
(Wilmer Valderama), the foreign
exchange student, is learning
about America as fast as he can.
Parents float by surrealistically
as the kids sneak beers and bor-
row the car for a concert. Think
of it as "The Wonder Years"
with bite.
As Jackie Burkhardt, Kunis is
a spoiled cheerleader who gets a
car along with her learner's per-
mit and has her boyfriend "pret-
ty much wrapped around her lit-
tle finger." "...Throughout the
show you find out she's very
controlling."
Executive Produced by Bonnie
and Terry Turner, (Emmy award
winners for "3rd Rock From the
Sun"), "That 70s Show" enjoys
a "Happy Days'Mike marketing
niche. The pilot episode also
has a bit of controversy going
for it: marijuana, dope smoking
is clearly implied in the pilot.
"They're worried the kids are
going to take it too seriously.
Well, if the kids take it too seri-
ously its not our fault, it's the
parents' fault. They should do
something about it. They
should talk to the kids."
Kunis at first recalls the drug
material "a scene in an episode
of just one show," but when
pressed to comment on contin-
ued pot themes, responds coyly.
"I don't know, I guess you have
to watch the show and see."
"Work? Tschhh," Kunis
scoffs. "It's fun, it's absolutely
fun. (I'm) like a little kid, with
little swings, and little sand...
getting my hair done, getting my
makeup done..." here she com-
mands the hairdresser, who has
sculpted Kunis' hair into the
perfect 70s good girl 'do: parted
in the middle, pushed behind her
ears.

Renowned
poet reads
at Clarion
University
by Lori Imbroglio
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Students and community mem-
bers were struck with curiosity
Monday night as they listened to
poet Diane Kendig unlock her
talents. Working for over 25
years as a writer, teacher, and
Nicaraguan translator, Kendig
was excited to come to Clarion
and share her poetry. "It's a won-
derful opportunity for me to get
out and connect to people," she
said to the audience filling the
seats in 250/252 Gemmell.
Kendig has had a love for writ-
ing from an early age, first
inspired at age 10 when her
mother gave her a diary. Her 6th
grade teacher also influenced her
and holds a special place in her
heart as she reflects on her many
accomplishments as a writer.
She has taught English at the
University of Findlay in Findlay,
Ohio since 1984, and she has
been a member of the National
Council of Teachers of English
where she served as chair of the
poetryboard for College
Compositionand
Communication.
In 1989 Kendig joined the

Journal, Minnesota Review, and
Cincinnati Poetry Review. As
the recipitent of two Ohio Arts
Council Individual Artists
Fellowships in Poetry and a 1998
Yaddo Fellowship, she illustrated
her merit for her many awards as
she read her poems. The English
department and the College of
Education and Human resources
was proud to sponsor her visit.
After being introduced by Dr.
Welsch, Kendig gave a brief
background of some of her
poems and began her readings
with a fairly new one entilted
"Unearthing a Paul." She contin-
ued with many poems about her
experiences as a teacher in a
medium-security prison, her fam-
ily history, and her many travels.
The program was concluded with
the reading of an old poem "If I
Die, Leave the Balcony' Open,"
explaining a man's agony toward
being blind.
Kendig has been involved with
writing for many years and has
learned through her experiences
to "work hard and adapt like
crazy." When speaking of her
passion for writing, she explains,
'If writing were illegal, I'd be in
prison for life."

Mister language knows all about grammar
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist
At this juncture in the time
parameter we once again proudly
present "Ask Mister Language
Person," the No. 1 rated language
column in the United States,
according to a recent J.D. Power
and Associates survey of con-
sumers with imaginary steel
plates in their heads. The philoso-
phy of this column is simple: If
you do not use correct grammar,
people will lose respect for you,
and they will bum down your
house. So let's stop beating
around a dead horse and cut right
to the mustard with our first ques-
tion:
Q. I often hear people use the
word "irregardless," as in:
"Irregardless of what you may or
may not think, moths are capable ,
of remorse." So finally I decided
to look "irregardless" up in the
dictionary, but I can't figure out
what letter it begins with.
A. Grammatical experts disagree
on this.
Q. What are the correct lyrics to
the song, "It's Howdy Doody
Time!"?
A. According to the Library of
Congress, they are as follows:
"It's Howdy Doody Time! It's
Howdy Doody Tune! It's Howdy
Doody Time! It's Howdy Doody
Time!"
Q.Who wrote those lyrics?
A.Cole Porter.
Q. I am in the field of busi-
ness, and people keep saying they
want to "touch base" with me.
They'll say, "I just wanted to
touch base with you on the
Fooberman contract," or "We
need to touch base on the rental
sheep for the sales conference."
But my understanding of the
rules is that if you touch base
WITH somebody at the same
time, at least one of you is out. So
my question is, who the heck is
"Fooberman"?
A. We decided to consult with
William Safire, one of the top
experts in the language field, but
his number is not listed.
Q. I am never sure when I
should use the word "principle"
and when I should use "princi-
pal." Is there an easy way to
remember the difference?
A. Here's a simple memory
device for distinguishing between
these two similar-sounding words
(or "sonograms"): Simply
remember that "principal" ends
in the letters "p-a-1," which is
an antonym for "Police Athletic
League": whereas 'principle"
ends in "p-l-e," which are the first
three letters in "Please Mister
Postman," by the Marvelettes. If
this memory device does not
work for you, we have a more
effective technique involving a
soldering iron.
Q. When the Marvelettes sing,
"Deliver de letter, de sooner de
better." are they using correct
grammar?
A. No. The correct grammar
would be, "Deliver de letter,
irregardless."
Q. Did alert reader Johnny G.
Stewart send you an amusing
automotive review from the
March 12, 1997, Lewiston,
Idaho, Morning Tribune?
A. Yes. It states: "A short-
throw six-speed Borg-Warner
transmission means classic
Pontiac excitement and the fun of
a well-timed shift."
Q. What's so amusing about that ?
A. There was a letter missing
from "shift."
Q. Can you cite some other
examples of language usage
sent in by alert readers?
A. Certainly:
— John Triplett sent in a
Heartland America catalog adver-
tising baseballs that were "hand
signed by Mickey Mantle before

Antz' crawl into movie theatres I ™ y al
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Toy Story it ain't. Unlike
Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff
Woody, the computer generated
images in Antz gripe about
their lives, swear, and aren't
afraid to beat the living tar out
of one another. Oh, and they
also drink beer from the anuses
of tiny bugs.
Antz certainly represents a
tremendous leap forward in the
world of CGI, proving that
computer animation can be
used to tell stories with a
decidedly adult slant.
However, one question
remains: does the film come
anywhere close to the quality
of Toy Story, the film that all
future CGI films will be com-
pared to?
Nope. But then again, Buzz
and Woody were a pretty tough
act to follow. Antz follows the
life of Z (voiced by Woody
Allen), a hapless worker ant
who constantly questions the
lowly role he plays in his
colony. While feeling down in
the dumps about life in general,
Z has a chance meeting with
Bala, the daughter of his
colony's queen.
The meeting recharges Z and
makes him determined to meet
Princess Bala once again. Z
trades places with a soldier ant
(voiced by Sylvester Stallone)
with the hopes of seeing his
true love. He doesn't know that
he's about to be shipped off to
war against the ants' deadly
enemy, a colony of termites.
The cowardly Z ends up
being the sole survivor of the
battle and returns home to his
colony, where he is mistaken
for a war hero. Although Z
finally gets to meet Princess
Bala again, a series of misad-
ventures lead to their being
separated from their colony
and cast into the outside world.
Antz features nice vocal work
from Allen, Stallone, and the
film's all-star supporting cast,
including Gene Hackman,
Christopher Walken, Dan
Akroyd, Jane Curtin, and
Jennifer Lopez. A scene where
Walken 's character, General
Cutter, intimidates a motley
crew of bugs by doing a
Walken-esque psychotic rant is
well worth the price of admis-
sion.
Unfortunately, the animation
in Antz isn't always convincing
enough for viewers to lose
themselves in the fantasy
world. At times, the creatures
inhabiting Z's world appear
stiff-legged and devoid of life.
The film's animation especially
lags during the action
sequences occuring when Z and
Bala leave their colony and
explore the outside world.
Antz may not take any giant
steps forward in animation or
storytelling, but it certainly
bodes well for the future of
Dreamworks SKG's
(Spielberg-Katzenberg-Geffin)
animation department. If you
want to see truly extraordinary
animation, save your money
until Prince Of Egypt. It uses
old-fashioned cell animation
and comes out this Christmas.
In the meantime, though,
Antz isn't half-bad. Despite a
certain summer movie's claims
to the contrary, Antz proves
that size doesn't matter after
all.

Students and community mem-

Monday night as they listened to
poet Diane Kendig unlock her
talents. Working for over 25
years as a writer, teacher, and
Nicaraguan translator, Kendig
was excited to come to Clarion
and share her poetry. "It's a won-
derful opportunity for me to get
out and connect to people," she
said to the audience filling the
seats in 250/252 Gemmell.
Kendig has had a love for writ-
ing from an early age. first
inspired at age 10 when her
mother gave her a diary. Her 6th
grade teacher also influenced her
and holds a special place in her
heart as she reflects on her many
accomplishments as a writer.
She has taught English at the
University of Findlay in Findlay,
Ohio since 1984, and she has
been a member of the National

Journal, Minnesota Review, and
Cincinnati Poetry Review. As
the recipient of two Ohio Arts
Council Individual Artists
Fellowships in Poetry and a 1998
Yaddo Fellowship, she illustrated
her merit for her many awards as
she read her poems. The English
department and the College of
Education and Human resources
was proud to sponsor her visit.
After being introduced by Dr.
Welsch, Kendig gave a brief
background of some of her
poems and began her readings
with a fairly new one entilted
"Unearthing a Path." She contin-
ued with many poems about her
experiences as a teacher in a
medium-security prison, her fam-
ily history, and her many travels.
The program was concluded with
the reading of an old poem "If I
Die, Leave the Balcony Open,"
explaining a man's agony toward
being blind.
Kendig has been involved with
writing for many years and has
learned through her experiences
to "work hard and adapt like-
crazy." When speaking of her
passion for writing, she explains,
'If writing were illegal, I'd be in
prison for life."

Mister language knows all about grammar
by Dave Rarry
Syndicated Columnist
At this juncture in the time
parameter we once again proudly
present "Ask Mister Language
Person " the No. 1 rated language
column in the United States,
according to a recent J.D. Power
and Associates survey of con-
sumers with imaginary steel
plates in their heads. The philoso-
phy of this column is simple: If
you do not use correct grammar,
people will lose respect for you,
and they will burn down your
house. So let's stop beating
around a dead horse and cut right
to the mustard with our first ques-
tion:
Q. I often hear people use the
word "irregardless," as in:
"Irregardless of what you may or
may not think, moths are capable ,
of remorse." So finally I decided
to look "irregardless" up in the
dictionary, but I can't figure out
what letter it begins with.
A. Grammatical experts disagree
on this.
Q. What are the correct lyrics to
the song, "It's Howdy Doody
Time!"?
A. According to the Library of
Congress, they are as follows:
"It's Howdy Doody Time! It's
Howdy Doody Time! It's Howdy
Doody Time! It's Howdy Doody
Time!"
Q.Who wrote those lyrics?
A.Cole Porter.
Q. I am in the field of busi-
ness, and people keep saying they
want to "touch base" with me.
They'll say, "I just wanted to
touch base with you on the
Fooberman contract," or "We
need to touch base on the rental
sheep for the sales conference."
But my understanding of the
rules is that if you touch base
WITH somebody at the same
lime, at least one of you is out. So
my question is, who the heck is
"Fooberman"?
A. We decided to consult with
William Safire, one of the top
experts in the language field, but
his number is not listed.
Q. I am never sure when I
should use the word "principle"
and when 1 should use "princi-
pal." Is there an easy way to
remember the difference?
A. Here's a simple memory
device for distinguishing between
these two similar-sounding words
(or "sonograms"): Simply
remember that "principal" ends
in the letters "p-a-1," which is
an antonym for "Police Athletic
League": whereas 'principle"
ends in "p-l-e," which are the first
three letters in "Please Mister
Postman," by the Marvelettes. If
this memory device does not
work for you, we have a more
effective technique involving a
soldering iron.
Q. When the Marvelettes sing,
"Deliver de letter, de sooner de
better." are they using correct
grammar?
A. No. The correct grammar
would be, "Deliver de letter,
irregardless."
Q. Did alert reader Johnny G.
Stewart send you an amusing
automotive review from the
March 12, 1997, Lewiston,
Idaho, Morning Tribune?
A. Yes. It states: "A short-
throw six-speed Borg-Warner
transmission means classic
Pontiac excitement and the fun oi
a well-timed shift."
Q. What's so amusing about that?
A. There was a letter missing
from "shift. "
Q. Can you cite some other
examples of language usage
sent m by alert readers.'
A. Certainly:
— John Triplett sent in a
Heartland America catalog adver-
tising baseballs that were "hand
signed by Mickey Mantle before
his death."
— W. Michael Frazier sent in

Music Review
October 29, 1998
'CIV is full of holes and 'Mineral' hasn't taken it's vitamins
by James Gates
Clarion Call Staff Writer
It's a trend you hear about all
too frequently in the music busi-
ness. Bands burst from the
underground into the spotlight
with a hit debut album and fol-
low it up with a dissappointing
sophomore disk. Both Mineral
and CIV have been mulling
around in the underground
scene for years and have their
own cult of fans. Mineral
gained considerable popularity
with their first disk The Power
Of Failing while CIV broke- into
the mainstream with their debut
Set Your Goals.
EndSerenading is the new disk
from Mineral, giants in the
underground emo-core rock
scene. Mineral is comprised of
four guys from other emo bands
who have too many emotions in
them. The music on
EndSerenading is light, wispy,
and ever flowing, with the gui-
tars interlacing over the gentle,
rolling rhythms. The overall
sound is extremely melodic, but
dark and ominous.
The lyrics on the disk are
insightful and thought provok-
ing, but Mineral's lead singer
lets his emotions get to him and
he whines about how his heart
aches. Picture a grown man cry-
ing uncontrollably over a lost
puppy.
EndSerenading opens with an
acoustic song, "Love Letter
Typewriter", which is overly
pretty and then picks up the
pace to a painfully slow crawl
with "Palisade." Except for the
brooding "Walking To Winter"
and the flowing "Gjs" the album
is virtually forgettable. It is
probably one of the prettiest
albums by one of the most tal-
ented emo rock bands outside of
Sunny Day Real Estate on the
market today, but unfortunately,
all of the songs blend and drone
on for the entire disk. They are
melodic, but trudge along at a
snail's pace. It is an excellent
album to drift away to, though.
There's no problem staying
awake to CIV's new album,
Thirteen Day Getaway. The
albums opens with the insanely
poppy and catchy single
"Secondhand Superstar" and
keeps a feverish pace consis-
tently throughout the disk. For
those unaware, CIV plays high
energy, bouncy music that
teeters on the fine line between
pop and punk called power pop.
Most of the songs clock in under
three minutes and are fast and
furious.
CIV's lead singer doesn't
have any special message to
convey, unlike Mineral, beyond
the usual punk anthems of rebel-
lion and going your own way.
He alternates between singing
on songs like "Big Girl", and
screaming on "Owner's
Manual." The hands-down mas-
terpiece of the album is the clos-
er "Little Men." It starts
acoustically and builds to a
stunning ending of full-blown
power.

uine chills almost every frame,

bloodshed.
The Exorcist, which is quite pos-
sibly the most frightening movie
of all time, managed not only to
scare the pants off theatre patrons,
but also make a strong (and
incredibly offensive, to some) reli-
gious statement. The Exorcist did
dip into the gore department for
chills (if a pea soup regurgitating
Linda Blair doesn't gross you out,
then more power to you), but used
it as a means to an end; and also in
conjunction with searing psycho-
logical terror, to have a nice bal-
ance.

thrillers, though, you can't forget
the master of the genre, Alfred
Hitchcock, and the crown jewel in
his directoral cache", Psycho.
Now, I know that film critics drop
his name more often than Homer
Simpson chomps donuts, but
there's a good reason, that being
that Psycho is the defining horror
movie. Not only was it complete-
ly new and exciting, but it changed
the entire genre forever. It tackled
a multitude of taboos; everything
from murder to insanity to trans-
vestism, and was able to wrap all
of them up in a neat and terribly
disturbing package. Hitchcock
chose not to shoot in color, to mute
the violence, especially that of the
famous shower scene.
The only halfway decent horror
film to come out within this
decade was Scream, and it almost
doesn't count; being just a few
jokes and Leslie Nielsen short of a
spoof. The only reason Sere am
worked so well is that it cleverly
subverted the entire horror genre;
twisting in on itself, borrowing
elements from similar movies,
while poking fun at them all at the
same time. That's a lot of balls to
be juggling in the air, but director
Wes Craven pulls it off with style.
So this Saturday, avoid the latest
gore-fest fodder in the theatre
(Bride OfChucky, Urban Legend),
and go down to the video store to
rent a real horror film. Of course*'
if the copy of Psycho is out, you
know where it is.
Unfortunately, Thirteen Day
Getaway is not consistent
throughout, with a handful of
filler songs only worthy of
being B-sides. It will never live
up to the success of Set Your
Goals no matter how much pub-
licity CIV gets.
It's always hard to pump out
albums that satisfy the main-
stream audience over and over.
CIV and Mineral found this out
with their respective new releas-
es. While they'll reap the bene-
fits from their past album's suc-
cess and the goodwill their
names bring, the bottom line is
still there... the quality is lack-
ing. I give Mineral's
EndSerenading a 5 out of 10 and
CIV a 6 out of 10.

Eagles fall at IUP, 52-14
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
The Golden Eagles found them-
selves at the wrong place at the
wrong time Saturday against IUP.
For IUP, the formula for making
the Division II playoffs appears
simple — win and you're in.
The inspired Indians are keeping
up on their end of the bargain,
routing Clarion 52-14 at IUP's
George P. Miller Stadium.
IUP racked up 536 yards of
offense and a 42-7 first-half lead
en route to their seventh win in
eight starts. Clarion, meanwhile,
suffered its second consecutive
setback, falling to 3-5 overall (1-3
PSAC-West).
The Indians opened the scoring
on the game's initial possession,
as Terrance Wilson capped a
seven-play, 78-yard drive with a
33-yard touchdown run.
Following a Clarion punt, the
Indians took over on their own 15
and marched to pay dirt. Tink
Stennett did the honors for IUP,
duplicating Wilson's feat with a
33-yard rumble.
After the two teams traded
turnovers, the Indians took over
on their own 4-yard line, where
they again used long runs to find
the end zone.
Wilson took IUP into Clarion ter-
ritory with 57-yard run, followed
by a 15-yard strike from Paul
Failla to Lewis Hicks and an 18-

IUP would tack on another to trim the margin to 28-7 with
touchdown in the early minutes of 10:21 showing on the clock.
After IUP scored a pair of touch-
downs to go ahead 42-7, Clarion
drove to the IUP 12 with under a
minute in the half, but was unable
to capitalize, as a Frank Van Wert
field goal attempt of 35 yards was
off the mark.
The Eagles found themselves
with another opportunity to score
in the third quarter. A botched
punt snap allowed the Eagles to
take over at the IUP 9. However,
the IUP defense yielded zero
yards on four plays to stifle the
Clarion threat.
The Eagles were able to find the
end zone in the fourth quarter.
With IUP leading 49-7, Weibel
found wide receiver Alvin
Slaughter for a 62-yard touch-
down pass with just under 10 min-
utes remaining.
IUP then capped the scoring
when Jeremy Sauve nailed a 36-
yard field goal at the 3:37 mark.
Weibel and Slaughter each put
up strong numbers in the loss.
Weibel clicked on 22 of 37
attempts for 307 yards and a
touchdown.
Slaughter nabbed nine aerials for
158 yards and a touchdown.
However, the Clarion running
game was unable to establish
itself, recording 74 total yards.
The Eagles return to action
Saturday at Memorial Stadium to
host West Chester in a 1 p.m.
meeting.

Clarion set to host PSAC cross country championships
Courtesy of
Sports Information
While ghouls, ghosts, and gob-
lins are preparing their costumes
for the largest candy-rama on
earth, Halloween, the PSAC is
offering its own version of "Trick
or Treat" on Saturday, with the
men's and women's cross country
championships on the line.
Clarion University and Mayfield
Golf Club, located just off
Interstate 80's exit 9, is hosting
the annual affair. The men's race
is 8,000 meters and begins at
10:30 a.m., while the women's
race is 6,000 meters and is set to
start at 11:30 a.m. The races are
open to the public.
What will the weather and
course conditions bring to the
PSAC field? That's a question
most traditional Halloween
observers would admit have
played many a "trick" over the
past decade of championships.
But the team and individual prize
of being recognized as PSAC
champion is quite a satisfying
"treat," one that lasts a lifetime.
PSAC Men's Championship
There's little doubt (hat the top
two teams will be Edinboro and
Shippensburg. The remainder of
the teams will be battling for posi-
tions 3-14. Edinboro won the
1997 title scoring only 35 points,
while Shippensburg was second
with 62 and IUP third with 82.
Edinboro, led by talented 30th-
year head coach Doug Watts, has
directed the Fighting Scots to six
straight PSAC men's champi-
onships, 13 of the last 14 titles,
and a total of 20 PSAC men's
titles in his 29 years. Ranked No
1 in the Region this year,
Edinboro has won four NCAA
Division II titles (1986-88, 1990)'
and placed second five times.-
Although Edinboro's two-time
winner Travis Kuhl has graduat-
ed, the Scots will look to fresh-
men Xi Min Wu to run ahead of
the pack. Scott Kovacevik, who
was fourth at PSACs in 1997 and
sixth in 1996, is expected to run
with the lead pack. But the Scots
could be without another top five
runner, junior Jeff Barker, who
hasn't run since Sept. 14. Barker
was 10th in 1996. Also ready to
run are sophomore Daryl Myer,
who was eighth at PSACs last
year, and Jon Newlin (16th at
PSACs in 1997) and Jerad
Bullers. '

Eagles lose tough match to Lock Haven
The Clarion University volley-
ball team opened Tuesday night's
match at Lock Haven with a 15-3
win in the initial game before the
potent Bald Eagles swept the next
three games, 15-5, 15-10, 15-8, to
claim the Pennsylvania State
Athletic Conference contest at
Lock Haven.
The Golden Eagles were led by
senior captain Jaime Mars, who
recorded 13 kills, 11 digs, and
three aces.
Senior captain Christy Boes
notched 13 digs, while Jessa
Canfield and Tracy Barnett even-
ly split 20 kills.
Jamie Soboleski continued her

NCAA wants to settle dispute with coaches
Courtesy of
College Press Exchange
The National Collegiate Athletic
Association is trying to reduce an
$80 million settlement with its
coaches, leaving many member
schools wondering where that
money will come from.
The scramble to pay up stems
from the Supreme Court's deci-
sion to let stand a lower court's
ruling that the NCAA acted
unlawfully when it capped entry-
level coaches' annual salaries at
$16,000. The lower court's ruling
in May set damages — essentially
back pay and benefits — at $67
million for about 1,900 entry-
level coaches. With attorney's
fees figured in, that sum is esti-
mated to reach $80 million.
NCAA officials and lawyers for
the coaches began settlement talks
earlier this year. The association
had offered $44 million for the
coaches and attorneys countered
with $58.5 million. In light of the
high court's decision, attorneys
for the coaches now say they'll
likely bump their demand "up into
the 60s."
The association had asked the
Supreme court to overturn the lia-
bility finding, insisting that the
lower court's decision "places in
grave doubt the future of compet-
itive intercollegiate athletics."
But the coaches' lawyers success-
fully argued that the salary cap
was nothing more than "garden-
variety price fixing."
How the payments will be
spread among the association's
membership schools is a thorny
issue. Small schools — who say
their budgets will be hit hard by
the expense — want larger
schools to pay the biggc ^hare.
Big schools say the cost si uld be
split equally because the a acted
earnings rule was agreed m by
nearly all 300 Division I scnools.
Because the association i 11 has
several past-trial motions i argue,
the case is expected to drag on for
at least another year.
"Way back when the case began,
they (the schools) could have set-
tled cheaply," Dennis Cross, an
attorney representing the coaches,
told the Associated Press.
"But everything that's happened
since has caused the settlement to
go up. The $80 million is accu-
mulating interest at $12,000 a day.
We don't think it would be fair to
ask the coaches to settle for 50
cents on the dollar."
Week Nine Scouting Report
Where: Memorial Stadium, Clarion
When: Saturday, 1 p.m.
Radio: C 93 (92.7)
Returning home to the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium, the
Golden Eagles will look to snap a two-game losing streak this
Saturday as Clarion hosts West Chester for a 1 p.m. kickoff .
Clarion enters the game with an overall record of 3-5 and a PSAC-
West record of 1-3. The Eagles opened 1998 losing to Youngstown
State 50-6, before compiling a 3-4 mark over the next seven con-
tests. Fifth-year head coach Malen Luke has a 27-25 record at
Clarion and an 11 -year collegiate record of 64-46.
West Chester is 5-3 overall and 3-1 in the PSAC-East, but is com-
ing off a very tough loss at Millersville. The Golden Rams had
Millersville down 31-14 with less than 10 minutes to play before
Millersville rallied for a 34-31 win. A victory for the Rams would like-
ly have meant a PSAC-East title. West Chester opened 1998 with a
19-10 home loss to IUP, defeated New Haven in overtime 33-27, lost
at l-AA Delaware 42-21 , then reeled off four straight wins at East
Stroudsburg 57-35, Bloomsburg 21-10, Mansfield 39-0 and
Shippensburg 36-21 , before losing to Millersville. Ram coach Rick
Daniels is in his tenth year at WCU and has an overall record of 64-
41-0
With a 3-5 record and three games remaining, the Golden Eagles
will need a win Saturday to keep their hopes of a winning season
alive. On an individual basis, wide receiver Alvin Slaughter needs
seven receptions to tie Tim Brown for Clarion's all-time receptions
record. Slaughter currently has 162.
West Chester's offense is very potent. The Golden Rams are aver-
aging 447.3 yards of offense per game, including 153 rushing and
294.3 passing.
Calling the signals will be junior Mike Mitros. Mitros has complet-
ed 190 of 335 passes for 2,350 yards and 20 touchdowns, with only
nine interceptions.
His top receivers include the PSACs leading pass catcher, Kevin
Ingram, who has 80 receptions for 991 yards and 13 touchdowns.
The running game is led by Conrad Quarles (118 carries, 582
yards, six tds) and Brian Bradley (81 tries, 407 yards, one td) at tail-
back and Scott Reed (125 yards, 1 td) at fullback.
West Chester's defense is giving up 128.8 rushing yards and 254.6
passing yards per game, for a total of 383.4.
Playing a 4-3 defense, the Rams' leader up front is Rob
Colontrelle, who has 52 hits, four tackles for losses, and 4.5 sacks.
Also contributing are Mark Burns Matt Jesson, and Kevin Verbosh.
The linebacking corps has Marcellus Simmons, Harry Wescott,
Mike O'Neill, and Brian Kersey making a lot of tackles.
The secondary features leading tackier Matt Cozza (53 hits, two
ints)and Mark Fields at free safety, with Paul Borusiewicz at strong
safety and Lamont Johnson and Vince Ellzy at the corners.
EXTRA POINTS: Clarion visits Lock Haven next Saturday, then
returns home for Senior Day Nov. 14 against California ... West
Chester holds a 10-1 series lead between the two schools ... West
Chester won two close games in 1993 (19-17 at Memorial Stadium)
and 37-30 at West Chester in 1994 ... Clarion's only win came back
in 1966, the PSAC Championship game, which was a 28-26 triumph
... Millersville passed for 432 yards and five touchdowns against
West Chester ... Millersville had 482 yards of offense, WC 416 ...
Mitros was 20 of 40 for 285 yards and three touchdowns ... Clarion
defeated Millersville 38-31 Sept. 12.

Excitement grows as hoops season nears
Returning stars, Division I transfers bring hope of strong season
By Jason Dambach
Assistant Sports Ed itor
After back-to-back 20-win sea-
sons, hope generally gives way to
expectation. And as the Clarion
University men's basketball team
continues preparation for the
upcoming season, expectations
are very high.
"Two years ago we won the
PSAC-West, and that's a feeling
I'd like to feel all over again, but
it's just a step," said senior co-
captain Marvin Wells. "Our goal
is to get to Louisville (site of the
NCAA Division II basketball
championships)."
Indeed, with a strong nucleus
returning, including three starters
(Wells, Lormont Sharp, and Brad
Wright), an influx of solid trans-
fers, and an impressive corps of
freshmen, the Golden Eagles have
every right to feel optimistic.
"We have all the tools to make
it (to Louisville), and I don't see
why we can't," said senior center
James Ford, who will be counted
on to fill the shoes of the departed
Rich Turner.
The team is in its second week
of practice as it prepares for the
season, which begins Nov. 13
with the first round of the
Subway/KFC Classic at Clarion's
Tippin Gymnasium.
"So far we're about on target,"
said llth-year head coach Dr.
Ron Righter. "We've had some
good days and some not so good
days."
But with the cast of characters
on this team, coach Righter
should be enjoying more good
days than bad.
The previously mentioned Wells
and fellow senior co-captain
Lormont Sharp combine to give
the Golden Eagles perhaps the
best inside-outside combination
in the PSAC. The pair spent the
summer in Venezuela playing in a
league comprised of players from
the PSAC and the West Virginia
Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference, and the experience
has been a boost for their confi-
dence.
"To play with a lot of great
Division II players did a lot for
my confidence," said Sharp. "I'm
expecting an excellent year for
myself and for the team."
The other returning starter is
Brad Wright, whose defensive
abilities have been unparalleled in
the PSAC over the past two sea-
sons. Not only that, but Wright
gives the team two gifted ball
handers in the starting backcourt,
as well as a strong vocal leader on
the floor.
One change in looking at
Clarion's preseason roster is that
it is dotted with Division I trans-
fers. Along with Sharp, who is a
former Division I transfer from
St. Francis (N.Y.), the team has
added 6-7 Sean Smith, a transfer
from the University of Hartford,
and Kirk Webber, a 6-5 transfer
from Wichita State.
"We definitely have to have
input from the older newcomers,"
said Righter.
Righter is excited about his
group of freshmen, of whom two,
Jamey Bigler (Penn-Trafford) and
Aaron Epps (Butler), were mem-
bers of the Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette Fab 5 All-Star team.
'The surprise to me so far has
*been our group of freshmen," said
Righter. "I'm excited because
they are our future."
However, the growing excite-
ment here at Clarion doesn't seem
to be catching on at the offices of
several preseason publications.
The Golden Eagles are not ranked

poll, and no Clarion player was
listed among the 50 best Division
II players in another publication.
Yet, the lack of attention hasn't
shaken Righter.
"You earn your respect," said
Righter. "I don't even care about
those things."
Well, if respect is earned, then
the 1998-99 Clarion men's bas-
ketball team should be earning
quite a bit of it this season.

Edinboro, Shippensburg favored to win PSAC cross country titles
continued from page 20
Steve Spence, is looking to win its
first men's championship and has
the firepower to challenge.
Leading the charge will be
seniors Jon Arnold and Bill
Stamer. Arnold was the PSAC
individual runner-up in 1997 and
placed third in 1996. Stamer was
third in 1997 and will run in the
lead pack. Senior Kevin Taylor,
who red-shirted 1997, placed 16th
at PS AC'S in 1996 and is ready for
his best PSAC placing. Senior
Matt Wagoner was 26th at
PSAC's in 1997 and 16th at the
Regionals, while junior Erik
Reers is ready for a quality time.
Spence, a 1985 Shippensburg
grad, the 1992 United States
Marathon Champion and a 12th-
place finisher in the Marathon for
the USA at the 1992 Olympic
Games in Barcelona, Spain,
knows what it will take to
dethrone the Scots.
"Edinboro has a quality team
and Doug will have them ready
this Saturday," said Spence. "I
see the matchup as almost identi-
cal teams. If we're going to win
this meet, our guys know we're
going to have to take it from
them."
Said Watts, "I respect Steve and
what he has done with their team.
If Barker doesn't run it could have
a bearing on the race. We're not
tapering for the PSACs, but we
still want to win. I expect it will
be a very spirited race."
Other regionally ranked teams
show East Stroudsburg fourth,
Lock Haven sixth, IUP seventh,
and Slippery Rock eighth. Those
teams will likely battle for places
3-6.
East Stroudsburg 's Matt
Hemmer (ninth in 1996, 12th in
'97) and Pete Sarro (23rd in '97)
will lead the way for the Warriors.
While IUP coach Ed Fry will
have Brendan Buckley (fifth in
'97), Kevin Shea (14th in '97) and
James Hamilton (22nd in '97).
Lock Haven's Steve Moyer
(13th in '97) and freshman Rob
Mortenson will lead the Bald
Eagles, while Millersville's Mark
Hagan (10th in '97) is the
Marauders' top runner.
Other top individual returnees
include Mansfield's Todd Stewart
(17th in '97) and SR's Paul Jones
(21st in '97). Clarion freshman
Ean King could also earn a spot in
the top 20 in this year's race.
PSAC Women's Championship
Edinboro and Shippensburg
once again will provide the cham-
pionship drama. The Scots are
ranked first in the East Region,
with Shippensburg second, IUP
third and West Chester fourth.
The current NCAA rankings show
Edinboro No. 2, Shippensburg
No. 4, IUP No. 15, and West
Chester No. 18.
In the 1997 PSAC's
Shippensburg won the team title
with 48 points, Edinboro was sec-
ond with 52, IUP was third with
105 and East Stroudsburg was
fourth with 147. Shippensburg
has won two straight PSAC
crowns.
Coach Watts has led the
Edinboro women to six PSAC
titles and four regional titles since
1988. The Scots are led by return-
ing PSAC champion Amy Perry,
who also won the East Regionals
in 1997 and placed fifth at the
NCAA . championships.
Teammate Lisa Petsche is doubt-
ful for Saturday. The 1997 PSAC
runner-up injured an ankle in
September and may sit out the
year. Ready to pick up the slack is
junior Gabriella Hnilknova from
the Czech Republic. She figures
to run with the lead pack. Also
ready are sophomore Carrie
McKeon (19th in '97), freshman
Kathy Breisch and sophomore
Ashley Hansen.
The Red Raiders and coach
Spence will counter with talented
junior Emily Budnyk, who was
fourth at PSACs in 1997 and 12th
in 1996. Also ready for a strong
return are 1997 all-conference
runners Lee Ann Weaver (11th),
Megan Elliot (13th in '97, 11th in
'96) and Sherrie Guthrie (15th).
Providing important depth will be
Britta Smith and Tammy Cauler.
"I see this as an even matchup,"
said Watts. "This will be a great
race, with two of the top three
teams in the nation ready to go
head to head. This is one of three
big races to come, but I think the
winner on Saturday will be the
team who's best on that particular
day."
Said Spence, "We're focused on
winner the PSAC title and will
race to win. The biggest race
coming up is the NCAAs and
that's what we're really pointing
towards."
The battle for third through sixth
place will be a fierce one. IUP
will be favored for third place,
with head coach Ed Fry looking
for senior Katie Mclntyre ready to
lead the way. She placed 12th in
'97, and could be joined by team-
mate Lindsay Rangel, who was
seventh in '97 and 15th in '96.
Senior Lynn Walton (17th in '97)
and Silkia Ramos (22nd in '96)
are also ready to race.
West Chester, led by coach
Kevin Kelly, also has a solid
squad. The Rams will be led by
sophomore Kelly Walton, Stacey
States (28th in '97) and freshman
Katie Dickerson.
Lock Haven and coach Mark
Elliston will feature Michele
Edwards (25th in '97), Lauren
Bechtel (32nd in '97), senior
Bridget Kielty and freshman
Katrin Olsen.
East Stroudsburg and coach Joe
Koch has talented senior Tina
Vosper, who placed eighth at
PSACs last year and will run with
the lead pack. Junior Amy
Walbert (23rd in '97) and Cindy
Dillon (47th in *97) give the
Warriors a solid group.
Mttlersville, Bloomsburg, and
Clarion are also very close.
Millers vi He and coach Keith
White feature sophomore Carisa
Heiney (39th in '97), Meghan
Edmiston (30th in '97), and
sophomore Betty Mohler (48th in
'97).
Bloomsburg, led by coach
Lanny Conner, will look to sopho-
more Amanda Eltringham to lead
the way.
Clarion and coach Pat Mooney
surprised the field with a sixth-
place finish in 1997 and hopes to
duplicate that or run even better in
1998. Top returning runner
Roxanne Wilson (24th in '97).
The Eagles hope to run as a group
and have a lot of quality finishes
behind sophomore Kelly Null
(54th in '97), junior Maureen
Long (38th in '97), junior Daria
Diaz 44th in '97), and junior
Bridgette Laflin (43rd in '97).
Junior Kristie Runk is also hope-
ful of a quality placing.
Other returning top 30 runners
include Kutztown's Eunice Chege
who is a potential top 10 finisher.
She was ninth in '97. Slippery
Rock's Kelly Weiss (second in
'97) rounds out an outstanding
field runners.
"The PSAC is the premier con-
ference in the NCAA Division II
today," said Clarion head coach
Pat Mooney. "For local fans who
want to come out and see some
great cross country runners, this is
the meet"
CLARION NOTES: Clarion's
men's runners will include Ean
King, along with Jon Fox (79th in
*97) Mark Trzyna (62nd in '97),
sophomores Colin McGlone and
John Copley, and freshmen Brad
Walker and Jason Bochert. The
men finished 10th in '97.
Eagles battle at Gettysburg
By Megan Pavuk
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Speedy Eagles charged through
historic Gettysburg this past
Saturday.
Over 36 men's teams and 32
women's teams were in atten-
dance at the Gettysburg College
Invitational. The Clarion men
placed 15th and the women sixth.
The women were once again led
by 21st-place finisher Rocky
Wilson (18:38). Following

Wendy Kengor and Kristie Runk
completed the team's finishers.
The team finished with 185
points, defeating such teams as
California, Juniata, and American
University.
The men also had a respectable
showing in the race. Placing 22nd
overall was "Hot Legs" winner
Ean King (26:20). Jon Fox and
Colin McGlone, winners of the
"Keep On Running" Award, fin-
ished next. Completing the men's
strong team finish were Mark
Trzyna, Brad Walker, Jason
Bochert, and John Sherry. The
men finished with 445 points,
defeating teams such as
Bloomsburg, California, and St.
Vincent, to name a few.
Both teams are currently train-
ing for the PSAC meet, which
will be held this Saturday at
Mayfield Golf Course. Clarion
will compete against talented
teams from Edinboro, Slippery
Rock, IUP, Lock Haven,
Shippensburg, Bloomsburg,

Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Golden Eagles' men's and
women's swimming and diving
teams will be splashing back into
action when both teams compete
in pre-season meets this weekend.
The men's and women's swim
team will be traveling to Edinboro
Friday to compete in a pre-season
exhibition meet against Slippery
Rock, Westminster, Lock Haven,
IUP, and Edinboro. The meet will
consist of individual events only
(no relays).
"This weekend will give us an
idea of where we want to put our
people," said Clarion head coach
BUI Miller.
The men's and women's diving
team will be traveling to Oakland,
Mich., on Saturday to compete in
its first meet of the season. The
Golden Eagles will be competing
against eight teams.
Coach Dave Hrovat said, "Pre-
season training went well, but
from working day in and day out,
the team is burned out and is
ready to compete."
The Clarion men's and women's
swimming and diving teams will
be led by captains Wendy Gassier,
Christina Tillotson, Julie Murray,
and Ken Bedford for the 1998-99
season.
CUP competes in flag tourney
This past weekend, 17 students
of Clarion University traveled to
Ohio State University to partici-
pate in the Nike Tour Flag
Football Regional
Championships.
The team was immediately
faced with a huge challenge in
the first round as they faced
Virginia Tech. The game went
back and forth for 40 minutes, but
time ran out before Clarion could
mount a final drive.
The second game was a different
story. Clarion bounced back
from its defeat and beat Illinois,
32-24. Once the offense got the
hang of the rugby-type style, the
team started to roll.

Pittsburgh shows signs of life
By Chris Pfeil
Associate Sports Editor
The race is on once again in the
AFC Central division. Two
weeks ago, it seemed as though
the Pittsburgh Steelers would be
playing for a wild-card spot.
However, with an upset victory
Monday night in Kansas City, the
Steelers have crept back into a tie
for first place with the
Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Jags blew their two-game
lead on the Steelers with consecu-
tive road losses to Buffalo and
Denver. Now, it seems like the
momentum in the AFC Central
has switched to the Steelers as the
NFL approaches the halfway
point of the season.
It hasn't been pretty for the
Steelers, yet they find themselves
in a position to once again make a
run for the AFC title.
However, if the Steelers hope to
challenge the likes of the Denver
Broncos for a trip to the Super
Bowl, there are some major issues
that need to be addressed.
The first step is for the Steelers
to run the football. That is what
they do best. The return of Tim
Lester and Jerome Bettis made the
difference in the Monday night
victory in Kansas City. Lester is
the key to this offense. The line
played well, but it was Lester who
was paving the way for Bettis. If
Flag football
the Steelers are going to have a
chance at the Super Bowl, they
are going to have to pound the
ball down the field.
Secondly, the Steelers need to
establish some type of passing
game to keep teams honest.
Kordell Stewart has been a huge
problem. The easy solution is to
say bench him. But, you can for-
get about that. Bill Cowher has
made it evident that he is going to
live or die with Slash.
While Stewart's poor play is a
major reason for the lack of a
passing game, the receivers need
to share some of the blame.
Charles Johnson and Courtney
Hawkins simply are not getting
open. They are forcing Stewart to
continuously throw into coverage.
Neither have shown the ability to
get open.
I have a simple solution to the
problem. The Steelers need to
start utilizing their other
receivers. Despite little playing
time, former Cincinnati Bengal
David Dunn has stepped up and is
getting open. Stewart has mis-
fired on some of his throws to
Dunn, but it is at least promising
to see that a Steeler receiver is
getting open.
The time has also come to give
Hines Ward a shot. Ward was a
big-play guy when he was at the
University of Georgia. I know the
knock on him is that he doesn't
have breakaway speed. Neither
does Jerry Rice. The Steelers
have nothing to lose by throwing
a couple of balls his way just to
see what he can do.
The third ingredient to the
Steelers' success is the special
teams. Thus far, the special teams
has been solid this year. They
came up with a huge blocked punt
last week, and Norm Johnson has
been almost automatic again this
year.
Finally, the Steeler defense has
to continue to step up. The
defense has carried them all sea-
son. But, the Steelers are vulner-
able to the deep ball. The only
way they are going to prevent this
is by pressuring the quarterback.
It seems like the Steelers have
abandoned the blitz. The Steelers
are only rushing four men. You
can't allow NFL quarterbacks
time to sit in the pocket. If the
Steelers don't return to their days
of blitzing, their secondary is
going to get picked apart.
Like I said, it hasn't been pretty.
But, the Steelers are 5-2 and have
as good of a chance to challenge
Denver as anyone else in the AFC.
The race is definitely on.
P.S. Yancey, I told you this day
would come. Good Luck!

Activists gather to protest clearcutting
by Patricia Meeley
Contributing Writer
KANE- Environmental activists
gathered at Keystone Chipping,
a Willamette Industries chip
mill, on October 20 to demon-
strate against clearcutting prac-
tices in The Allegheny National
Forest.
The demonstration was orga-
nized by members of the Native
Forest Network and Earth First!.
Among the activists gathered in
support of the demonstration
were Clarion University stu-
dents Josh Sachs, Jim Kleissler,
and Susan Curry as well as oth-
ers from across the country.
The protest began before day-
light when the participants set
up a 'tripod' made of three metal
poles to blockade the road to
-Keystone Chipping. Josh
Raisler Cohn of Ohio climbed to
the top of this device and settled
in to stay. Shannon Hughes of
Indiana University of
Pennsylvania chained herself to
the bottom of the tripod with a
lock around her neck.

activist. "Willamette is known
for it's damagiagi effects on
communities; they leave in their
wake air pollution, water pollu-
tion, noise pollution, and
destruction of the native ecosys-
tem."
Some members of Kane's local
community have put up signs
asking Willamette to leave, and
complaining of the noise that the
chip mill makes. Many of these
signs have been torn down
repeatedly by other members of
the community, and recently
some of them were burned. The
demonstrators experienced some
of this hostility themselves as
they were taunted by some local
people during the course of the
day.
The legal demonstrators
remained on Willamette land
until asked to leave at approxi-
mately 9:30 a.m. when they
moved to the end of the driveway
onto the public easement.
Hughes and Raisler Cohn
descended peacefully from the
barricade around 11:45 a.m. and
were arrested on charges of crim-
inal trespass, disorderly conduct,
and failure to disperse from a
disorderly scene; all three
charges were misdemeanors.
The two posted $2,500 bond and
were released October 21.
Network opens SSHE libraries
by Mike Markewinski
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Students who often face the
challenges of deadlines after an
extended work week now have
the opporunity to explore infor-
mation from not only Carlson
Library but from the other 13
state schools using the Keystone
Library Network.
The Network now enables stu-
dents to view electronic versions
of more than 1 .350 journals and
the opportunity to review sum-
maries of articles printed in some
nearly 1.400 magazines. This
system also establishes an
expanded relationship between
all state schools by placing each
university's card catalog on-line,
allowing students to utilize the
inter-library loan to get a book
which may not be at CU.
Melissa Thorwartf/Clarion Call
Students can now access the libraries of the State System
through the KLN.
Attempts to speak with person-
nel from Carlson Library on the
impact of the Keystone Library
Network here at Clarion were
unsuccessful.
According to Chancellor of the
State System of Higher
Education James H. McCormick,
"This is a wonderful example of
how technology can be used to
greatly expand the learning
opportunities of our students,
and how all of our System
Universities can work together in
a more efficient, cost-effective
manner."
Users of the Network can log
on and search for the articles
printed in many of the most pop-
ular academic and technical jour-
nals. Network officials said the
text is exactly the same in the
printed versions of the magazines
and periodicals.
In others, citations and
abstracts provide at least the
basic information about what is
included in an article, which stu-
dents can use to decide whether
or not to go to Carlson Library
and read the entire piece.
Because of the Network, librar-
ians on the various campuses
should be able to coordinate their
purchasing. Some books that in
the past have been bough by all
14 libraries could now be pur-
chased by only three or four
schools. The materials then
could be made available to all

start utilizing their other
receivers. Despite little playing
time, former Cincinnati Bengal
David Dunn has stepped up and is
getting open. Stewart has mis-
fired on some of his throws to
Dunn, but it is at least promising
to see that a Steeler receiver is
getting open.
The time has also come to give
Hines Ward a shot. Ward was a
big-play guy when he was at the
University of Georgia. I know the
knock on him is that he doesn't
have breakaway speed. Neither
does Jerry Rice. The Steelers
have nothing to lose by throwing
a couple of balls his way just to
see what he can do.
The third ingredient to the
Steelers' success is the special
teams. Thus far, the special teams
has been solid this year. They
came up with a huge blocked punt
last week, and Norm Johnson has
been almost automatic again this
year.
Finally, the Steeler defense has
to continue to step up. The
defense has carried them all sea-
son. But, the Steelers are vulner-
able to the deep ball. The only
way they are going to prevent this
is by pressuring the quarterback.
It seems like the Steelers have
abandoned the blitz. The Steelers
are only rushing four men. You
can't allow NFL quarterbacks
time to sit in the pocket. If the
Steelers don't return to their days
of blitzing, their secondary is
going to get picked apart.
Like I said, it hasn't been pretty.
But, the Steelers are 5-2 and have
as good of a chance to challenge
Denver as anyone else in the AFC.
The race is definitely on.
PS. Yancey, I told you this day
would come. Good Luck!

VOLUME 81, ISSUE 8
Activists gather to protest clearcutting
by Patricia Meeley
Contributing Writer
KANE- Environmental activists
gathered at Keystone Chipping,
a Willamette Industries chip
mill, on October 20 to demon-
strate against clearcutting prac-
tices in The Allegheny National
Forest.
The demonstration was orga-
nized by members of the Native
Forest Network and Earth First!.
Among the activists gathered in
support of the demonstration
were Clarion University stu-
dents Josh Sachs, Jim Kleissler,
and Susan Curry as well as oth-
ers from across the country.
The protest began before day-
light when the participants set
up a 'tripod' made of three metal
poles to blockade the road to
Keystone Chipping. Josh
Raisler Cohn of Ohio climbed to
the top of this device and settled
in to stay. Shannon Hughes of
Indiana University of
Pennsylvania chained herself to
the bottom of the tripod with a
lock around her neck.

Jim Kleissler, CUP student and
activist. "Willamette is known
for it's damaging effects on
communities; they leave in their
wake air pollution, water pollu-
tion, noise pollution, and
destruction of the native ecosys-
tem."
Some members of Kane's local
community have put up signs
asking Willamette to leave, and
complaining of the noise that the
chip mill makes. Many of these
signs have been torn down
repeatedly by other members of
the community, and recently
some of them were burned. The
demonstrators experienced some
of this hostility themselves as
they were taunted by some local
people during the course of the
day.
The legal demonstrators
remained on Willamette land
until asked to leave at approxi-
mately 9:30 a.m. when they
moved to the end of the driveway
onto the public easement.
Hughes and Raisler Cohn
descended peacefully from the
barricade around 1 1 :45 a.m. and
were arrested on charges of crim-
inal trespass, disorderly conduct,
and failure to disperse from a
disorderly scene; all three
charges were misdemeanors.
The two posted $2,500 bond and
were released October 2 1 .
Network opens SSHE libraries
by Mike Markewinski
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Students who often face the
challenges of deadlines after an
extended work week now have
the opporunity to explore infor-
mation from not only Carlson
Library but from the other 13
state schools using the Keystone
Library Network.
The Network now enables stu-
dents to view electronic versions
of more than 1 .350 journals and
the opportunity to review sum-
maries of articles printed in some
nearly 1.400 magazines. This
system also establishes an
expanded relationship between
all state schools by placing each
university's card catalog on-line,
allowing students to utilize the
inter-library loan to get a book
which may not be at CU.
Melissa Thorwartf/Clarion Call
Students can now access the libraries of the State System
through the KLN.
Attempts to speak with person-
nel from Carlson Library on the
impact o\' the Keystone Library
Network here at Clarion were
unsuccessful.
According to Chancellor of the
State System of Higher
Education James H. MeCormiek.
"This is a wonderful example of
how technology can be used to
greatly expand the learning
opportunities of our students,
and how all of our System
Universities can work together in
a more efficient, cost-effective
manner."
Users of the Network can log
on and search for the articles
printed in many of the most pop-
ular academic and technical jour-
nals. Network officials said the
text is exactly the same in the
printed versions of the magazines
and periodicals.
In others, citations and
abstracts provide at least the
basic information about what is
included it; in article, which stu-
dents can use to decide whether
or not to go to Carlson Library
and read the entire piece.
Because of the Network, librar-
ians on the various campuses
should be able to coordinate their
purchasing. Some books that in
the past have been bough by all
14 libraries could now be pui-
chased by only three or lour
schools. The materials then
could be made available to all

OPINION
Hide Park
"Occasionally, I am
accused of thinking
more about myself
than others."
Christine Zawrotuk
"Water, water everywhere"
It's cool today, soon the snow
will blanket The Park. Kicking
back, I reflect on my sum-
mer...my internship, classes...it's
amazing how much I learn when
I want to. But what stands out in
my mind the most is my vacation
in New England.
I don't know if it was because
of my busy summer, or my
upcoming graduation in
December, but for whatever rea-
son, as I breathed the sea air and
looked out into the water, I was
overwhelmed.
Sure, I've been to the ocean
before. Most of my childhood
vacations were spent there. I've
just never been hit with these
thoughts so strongly before: Who
says the ocean is indestructable?
Okay, it may always be here, but
will it always be alive?
Unintentional or otherwise, our
water resources are under attack.
Garbage is shipped off-shore and
dumped, toxic chemicals seep
into lakes and rivers. How much
can the water take before its
defenses are smothered? What
happens to us, and the world, as
we know it, if it is defeated? Will
it still be possible to purify our
needed water supply?
We are an intelligent species, so
is it not ironic that our growing
technology may be destroying
our future?
And what about the sea life?
They are certainly no match for
the pesticides being poured into
the water. People who know me
well, know of my concern for
whales, seals, and dolphins.
Every time I hear of one being
washed ashore I cringe. The bal-
ance of life in the ocean is not on
stable grounds. Can't we see
what we are doing?
A stretch of beach that I like to
walk along was recently declared
contaminated. More correctly, it
is dead: no more swimming, fish-
ing, or clamming. I was even
wary of removing my shoes to
walk out in the breakers.
But I did.
I climbed out onto the rocks
covered with periwinkles, won-
dering how much time they had
left. The waves came crashing in,
but the only movement in the
water was the 'kerplunk' of
stones being tossed by my
cousin. No more hermit crabs
were scurrying among the rocks
and broken shells. Rusted beer
cans and empty soda bottles now
take their place. Beautiful, huh?
Occasionally, I am accused of
thinking more about myself than
others. I guess I fall victim to
growing up in the "me" genera-
tion. Maybe I am selfish. But I
am also concerned for my family
and friends, and the people who
are going to outlive me. With all
of the worries of living day by
day, I don't want this shadow
over my head. I don't want to
think I am responsible. I want
people to understand, to do some-
thing, anything-to stop attacking
our water, our life. Surely, we
have the capability to live off this
land without killing it and our-
selves. Our water has a chance if
we start, or rather, stop now.
The Environmental Protection
Agency and Chemical Waste
Management consider burning
toxic wastes in shipborn furnaces
off-shore to be a solution to the
world's toxic waste program. But
actually, the ocean environment
is suffering from this, and toxic
wastes continue to be produced!
Wouldn't it be logical to decrease
toxic waste production? I guess
that is too easy a solution.
Living inland, we are less
inclined to be concerned about
the ocean.
Out of sight, out of mind. I say
it's time we support our coastal
neighbors; They are out lobby-
ing-fighting. Where there is one
voice, more are bound to appear.
Power in numbers, it really

"„J knew therm

services or as many

opportunities.
*>
Nathan Koble, Sports Editor
Having lived in or near a medi-
um-sized city for most of my life,
I expected there to be a number
of adjustments when I started
college in the small town of
Clarion three years ago.
Among other things, I knew
there wouldn't be as many ser-
vices or as many entertainment
opportunities.
However, while adjusting to
such things simply takes time,
there is one thing in particular
that I have not been able to adjust
to in this small town — big-city
television news.
The television news of choice
in Clarion comes out of
Pittsburgh. I have observed that
Pittsburgh television news is as
much about recording ratings as
it is about reporting news. It
seems that every newscast hits
the viewers with hefty doses of
self-promotion and gimmicks.
With virtual reality weather fore-
casts and dueling news heli-
copters wowing the viewers;
good, old-fashioned news report-
ing seems to have gotten lost in
the mix.
The first station I tuned into
was KDKA. However, after
being hit relentlessly with the
"Hometown Advantage" slogan,
I decided to give WPXI a shot. At
that point, I was introduced to the
helicopter wars of Pittsburgh
news.
As I flipped back and forth from
WPXI and KDKA, I viewed what
seemed like a dialogue between
commercials.
WPXI: "We're the only station in
town with a news helicopter."
KDKA: "Join the Hometown
Advantage, the only station with
two helicopters on the scene."
WPXI: "Watch WPXI for the
only news helicopter in town
with Gyrocam."
Apparently, the stations have
performed their audience analy-
sis and believe that "TV Land" is
full of a bunch of Homer
Simpsons ready to oooh and
aaaah at every bell and whistle.
Clearly, the stations feel that peo

Letter to the Editor
"Use their prestige to your advantage."
Dear Editor,
I don't feel that college journalists should be lying to their audience. Here at Clarion University, some of
the disc jockeys at the FM radio station, WCUC, are doing just that.
The lie is that Clarion University Broadcasting (TV-5) has a "weather-center" that is producing a weather
forecast. Some of the WCUC disc jockeys are claiming that they receive their weather forecast from the TV-
5 "weather center." This is false. Clarion University Broadcasting does not own a weather forecasting
device, nor does a "weather center" exist.
If you want to give credibility to your broadcast, give credit to the actual source of your weather infor-
mation-The Associated Press. The AP is probably the most prestigious information agencies in the world.
Use their prestige to your advantage.

works. So what can we inlanders
do? In one word— WRITE!
It sounds pretty easy, doesn't it?
No, not really. It is so much easi-
er to just push it aside.
I am just as guilty. We are "too
busy" to be bothered. "Writing?
C'mon, get serious." Well, I am
serious. It is a serious subject.
Too serious. Unfortunately, for
most people it has to be happen-
ing in their back yard before it's
serious to them.
Take a minute. Imagine reach-
ing for a glass of water and turn-
ing on the faucet, but the water
that is coming out is dark and
murky. Imagine a world with no
water supply. There really could-
n't be one. Greenpeace's ocean
ecology campaign says it best
with its slogan, "Water For Life."
Think about it, and be aware.
That is a step in the right direc-
tion.
As I leave The Park, I remem-
ber the awe I felt as I watched a
humpback whale breach off the
coast of Cape Cod last year.
Funny, the park seems a little
warmer.
I have hope.

pie no longer seek "just the facts" in their television news.
Of course, all the glitz and glamour isn't restricted to Pittsburgh news. One example of going to extremes
for the sake of impact-not fact- was on display during the hurricane season. The norm for reporting on storms
is to place some poor reporter in the brunt of a hurricane to say something to the effect of, "As you can see,
it is very windy and rainy here. The winds are expected to cause widespread damage and evacuation." One
has to wonder why some video footage and a voice-over by someone who is dry and clear of danger would
n't suffice.
Fortunately, not all television news is like the news that comes out of Pittsburgh. Having lived in the medi-
um-sized markets of Erie, Youngstown, Ohio, and Wheeling, West Virginia, I have been fortunate enough to
know the tricks of the trade, or simply may not have the toys that reporters in larger markets have. Instead,
the station with the most professional, informative, and knowledgeable news people gets the highest ratings.
No helicopters, gyrocams, or virtual reality weather forecasts-just the facts.
Don't be mistaken, I feel television is a dynamic medium and a valuable tool. Its ability to bring people
important, breaking news instantaneously is beneficial to everyone.
However, when aesthetic value carries more sway than reporting the facts, the viewers should take note of
what is happening. The television stations in Pittsburgh should weigh their responsibilities to society more
heavily than their accountability to their advertisers.
Anyone who says television isn't entertaining obviously isn't watching the news.

covering the cost of tuition, room
and board. Each participant who
enters the program must be a resi-
dent of Pennsylvania and would
be enrolled in high-need academ-
ic majors, including computer sci-
ence, hotel, restaurant and institu-
tional management, middle school
certification, geographic infor-
maiton systems, urban education
and pre-professional studies.
A major component of the
Keystone Initiative would be the
establishment of the Keystone
Institute for Science and
Advanced Technology, which
would focus on increasing the
number of students who are pre-
pared to enter the workforce in the
future.
The Initiative would also pro-
vide funding for the purchase of
science and technology equip-
ment and for full implementation
of the State System's instructional
technology plan.
The PA-16: Statewide
Collaborative to Ensure Standards
of Excellence in Teaching and
Learning and would support the
initial efforts of the SSHE, state
department and other agencies
responsible for reform in
Pennsylvania.
It would allow for a wide range
of regional and educational pro-
jects, all to support implementa-
tions and assessments of higher
quality standards and to align the
changes in high school require-
ments and admission to post-sec-
ondary school institutions.
According to State System
Chancellor James H. McCormick,
the SSHE is engaging in a
Systemic Change Initiative which
will result in additional long-term
savings and improvements to the
ways in which the universities are
operated.
"The SSHE has taken many
steps in recent years to help con-
trol costs and remains committed
to a continuous improvement pro-
gram designed to encourage the
universities to operate more effi-
ciently," McCormick added.
The special purpose appropria-
tion for equity initiatives would
provide for the continuation of
programs designed to recruit dis-
advantaged students to the SSHE
universities. This would include
widely successful programs with
school districts in Philadelphia,
Erie, Harrisburg and Meadville.
These special requests are part
of the S SHE's total state appropri-
ation request of almost $443 mil-
lion to help fund the operation of
the 14 universities that make up
the system.
The proposed overall budget for
1999-2000 academic year totals
$926.5 million. Half of that bud-
get comes from student tuition
and mandated fees.
The request represents a 4.2 per-
cent increase from the current
operating budget.

"Better Kid Care"
Siler Center chosen for satellite workshop series
by Gretchen Druschel
Clarion Call Staff Writer
"Better Kid Care", a satellite workshop
series, chose Earl R. Siler Children's
Learning Complex at Clarion to participate
in their series "The Better Kid Care pro-
gram."
"This program helps to provide training
for child care providers in Pennsylvania
and raise awareness of Pennsylvania's child
care in other areas," said Assisted Project
Director Lyn Horning.
The program assists in the six hours of
training that the Department of Welfare
requires for child care workers.
The funds that the Department allocates
for training child care workers enables the
"Better Kid Care" series to help fill the six
hour requirement. The program was start-
ed by The Penn State Extension with the
Department of Welfare funding.
The first program the Siler Center will be
featured in will deal with literacy projects.
For example, the Siler Center promotes
the progression of language arts of two-
year olds by labeling objects around the
room.
Also, the the children have their own
mailboxes at the center and use them as a

communication tool.
The first program will air November 5,
1998 on the satellite downlink.
Pennsylvania and forty-six other states will
place the program on public access televi-
sion channels from the downlink.
The second program will air in June 1999.
It will focus on the use of natural and recy-
cled materials in the classroom.
"The children will make paper mache
dinosaur eggs and construct a large
dinosaur out of recycled materials," stated
Barb McClaine.
Graduate assistant Kenna Williams said,
"The children have more motivation in the
classroom projects since they have more
interest in them."
The "Better Kid Care" program chose the
Siler Center based upon their innovative
teaching techniques. For example, the chil-
dren and the teachers work at an interactive
level. The teachers center the interests
around student interest.
"The children seem to pick up and absorb
material when they like the material,"
Williams added.
The Siler Center also has a writing center
where children can practiice their writing
abilities. Reese Wilson focuses on the
philosophies and designs of Reggio Emilio
preschools in Italy which looks at early lit-
eracy of two-year-olds.
"The Better Kid Care" program will air on
television and will come out on videotape.
"Studies show that training raises the
quality of care and by using video training
we can provide this training to every part of
the state through the Penn State
Cooperative Extension offices," said
Horning.
The Earl R. Siler Center teaching
approaches to child motivation will help
provide training for future educators
through the "Better Kid Care" program.

"As a mentor, she gave me a
dream to reach for," she added.
Krislen Davis, Clarion Call
editor in chief, remembers Dr.
McCrary from a class she took
from her four years ago.
"Dr. McCrary was the kindest,
most sincere teacher I have ever
had. She took time to write me a
two-page recommendation letter
and I only needed a small para-
graph," she said. "She went
above and beyond the call of duty
for me, and I only had her for one
class."
McCrary was born April 28,
1943 in Flat River, Mo. and was
the daughter of Ruby Denman
Bruce of Park Hills, Mo. and the
late Fred Bruce.
Dr. McCrary moved to Warren
in 1987 from Hattiesburg, Miss.,
where she had resided for 15
years. Previously, she had
resided in Columbia, Mo., for
five years.
She was married June 4, 1970 to
Ronald C. McCrary, who sur-
vives.
Dr. McCrary received a bache-
lor's degree in French in 1967,
and a doctorate in romance lan-
guage in 1976, all from the
University of Missouri.
McCrary had been a professor
at Clarion University for the past
six years.
She had previously taught at
Nebraska Wesleyan University in
Lincoln, Neb., the University of
Southern Mississippi in
Hattiesburg, Miss., and Kent
State University's main campus.

Harvard makes changes to
avoid more student suicides

College Press Exchange
— -■ ■ ■
«— — — — — — — — ■— HI
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-
Because of three suicides of
graduate students' on campus in
the last two years, Harvard
University is trying to reduce the
stress many students face there.
One change the school already
has implemented was suggested
in a suicide note.
School officials have acknowl-
edged that many of the universi-
ty's 3,400 graduate students have
reported that they were over-
worked and isolated with few
means of personal or profession-
al support.
Since 1980, eight graduate stu-
dents have committed suicide.
The bleak reports have prompt-
ed school officials to make com-
prehensive changes addressing
the morale and stress-levels of
students in each department. The
changes are especially targeted at
graduate students in the sciences,
a spokeswoman for the universi-
ty said.
One change was inspired by a
recommendation that 27-year-
old Jason Altom included in his
suicide note last August, just
before swallowing a lethal dose
of potassium cyanide he obtained
from a laboratory.
In the note, Altom, a student
working toward a Ph.D. in chem-
istry, said he was upset by the
university's process of assigning
graduate researchers to one fac-
ulty adviser -- almost the only
person on whose opinions, evalu-
ations and job recommendations
a student's career depends.
Altom recommended that stu-
dents be assigned to a group of
advisers and wrote, "If I had such
a committee now, I know things
would be different."
The university's new chairman
of the chemistry department,
James Anderson, has started
assigning graduate students to
three-member advisory panels.
He also is encouraging students
to take advantage of new pro-
grams designed to improve their
social lives. Anderson has
arranged for students to see an
off-campus psychiatrist with
whom they can speak confiden-
tially and alumni who are willing
to give them career advice.

CU and C-L team up for Mill Creek ecology project
by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Clarion University Honors
Program and biology department
conducted a field ecology pro-
gram on Sept. 25 at the Mill Creek
watershed as part of an outreach
program:
The program was designed to
acquaint area high school students
with the scientific and technologi-
cal opportunities that are available
at Clarion University.
Nineteen Clarion-Limestone
High School students participated
in the program, which gave them
hands-on experience in assessing
the impact that acid mine drainage
has on the environment.
The students are all in the gifted
program and have an interest in
ecology. They were chosen from
44 applicants to participate in this
project. Students had to submit an
essay to their teacher, Linda
McMasters, to be chosen for the
project.
The program began when stu-
dents from the CU Honors
Program went to the high school
to instruct the students as to what
equipment they would use for the
program. They then went to the
Mill Creek watershed to analyze
the environment.
Following the analysis, students
were taken to the section of Mill
Creek that suffers greatly from
acid mine drainage. The students
then saw a portion of the creek

students, but for the undergradu-
ates who assisted.
In an earlier project, high school
students were divided into groups.
Each group did an ecological pro-
ject and a molecular biology pro-
After the program was complet-
ed, the students evaluated the pro-
ject. The students rated the over-
all ecology experience a success.
Both Harris and Savage said
they hope to continue this pro-
gram in the future to provide
hands-on experience for the stu-"
dents.
"It is important that the students
be offered these leadership roles,
because in five years they are
going to be assuming these roles,"
said Savage of the undergraduate
students who instructed and
helped the high school students
throughout this process.
"We couldn't do any of it with-
out the undergraduates," Harris
added. "They are the biggest
part."
The continuation of the program,
which was funded by the College
of Arts and Sciences, along with
the Admissions Office and Honors
Program, is dependent upon
whether of not a grant will be pro-
vided.
Savage and Harris have applied
for the Faculty Professional
Development Council grant to not
only continue the program over
the next year, but to also stretch it
throughout Clarion County.
Harris said that if the grant does
not go through, he will continue to
do outreach programs with the
high schools. Savage and the
Honors Program will also contin-
ue their programs with the schools
as well.
Both Harris and Savage said
they are planning to host an in-ser-
vice day for teachers of gifted stu-
dents and they also will be co-
sponsoring a debate tournament
with the debate team sometime
this spring.
Local landmark unmarked after theft
by Lori Matachak
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Clarion House Bed and
Breakfast, located on the corner of
South St. and 7th Ave., had its
trademark stolen just a few days
before the start of the fall semes-
ter.
The trademark of the Bed and
Breakfast is a hand-carved and
hand-painted sign that had been
placed in front of the business for
the past seven years.
Bill and Judy Miller, owners,
said they are upset by the sign's
disappearance.
Bill Miller, head coach of the
Clarion University swim team,
said he just cannot get over this
incident.
"As an employee of the
University, I haven't lost faith in
the student population and I feel
that incidents such as this repre-
sent a very small portion of the
student body," he said.
The Millers' sign led the way for
many travelers coming into the
area.
The Millers said that not only
did their sign lead the way, it was
a guide for travelers to find their
bed and breakfast.
Bill Miller said all directions to
their business were based by that
sign.
"Not having the sign has been a
real problem for our business
because our guests have been
unable to locate us and the sad
part is, it has no value to anyone
except us," he said.
While the Millers have been
waiting for their new sign, tempo-
rary signs have been used.
However, three of those signs
have also been taken.
Anyone with information about
the missing sign is asked to call
Clarion Borough Police at 226-
9140.

In brief.
Colony Homes adds $5,000 to Scholarship fund
In memory of long time employee Grant Goodman, Colony Factory
Crafted Homes has added $5,000 to the Commodore
Corporation/Richard Boyle Scholarship fund
This scholarship first was introduced when Richard Boyle, former
manager of Commodore Corporation passed away in 1992
In 1998, Colony Homes decided to donate additional funds to the
scholarship in memory of Goodman
The scholarship is available to recent high school graduates who are
the natural or adopted children of employees at the plant. This money
is provided so that those who would not be able to attend Clarion
University for financial reasons would have the opportunity to further
their education.
The applicant must complete the Pennsylvania State Grant and
Federal Student Aid application, the written application, and submit
two letters of application.
The scholarhip is renewable over a four year period at Clarion. The
student receiving the scholarship must have a 2.5 QPA and remain in
good academic standing throughout their college career.
The scholarship is provided through the Clarion University
Foundation. The foundation is a private entity apart from the
University in which corporations can set up foundations for scholar-
ship funding. All money donated is recorded as a charitable deduction.
Applications can be obtained in the Clarion University Financial Aid
office.
New transcript fee enacted for all CU students
In the past, when students would make the journey down to the
Registrar's office in Carrier Hall to pick up a transcript copy, a three
dollar fee was required.
Effective this semester, all Clarion University students will pay a
one-time $15 fee. The fee covers an unlimited number of transcript
copies, not exceeding three copies per day. All alumni and former
students will be grandfathered under this change.
Registrar J. Douglas Bills said that this will save the students
money and will be more convenient, as they won't have to go direct-
ly to Carrier to obtain copies of transcripts. Students can instead sub-
mit a written or faxed request with their name, Social Security num-
ber, dates of attendance or graduation and current mailing address.
Requests should also include the complete mailing address of where
the transcript is to be mailed and the student's signature.

Knickerbocker named new
Associate Dean of Libraries
by Danielle Boccio
Clarion Call Staff Writer
New building plans and reno-
vations for the library are not the
only changes being made at the
Carlson Library.
Deon Knickerbocker, former
chair of the library, has left the
position and stepped up as
Associate Dean of Libraries, a
position formerly held by Dr.
Rashelle Karp.
Karp was recently promoted to
Associate Vice President of
Academic Affairs, and is still
serving as Interim Dean of
Libraries.
Knickerbocker was appointed
to the position after a lengthy
search proved unsuccessful.
The duties of the new
Associate Dean of Library are to
assess the budget, take care of
staff and personnel, and to over-
see the daily operation of the
library.
Knickerbocker said she will
make the transitions in the
restructuring of the library more
acceptable.
"If students are having prob-
lems they (students) can come to
me and if I'm not in my secre-
tary will make an appointment
for you to meet with me,"
Knickerbocker said.

Theatre Review
'The Portrait' and 'Savage Love',
two different views on love
by Shelli Davis
Clarion Call Staff Writer
On Thursday and Friday
night, students crammed into
Hart Chapel Theatre to see
this year's performance of
Second Series. Second Series
is two short plays directed
and performed by the students
of Clarion University. The
series begins by students sub-
mitting plays they have writ-
ten.
The first play was written
by Mark Strieker, a student at
Clarion. "The Portrait" starts
out with a Woman, Seana
Simon, dramatically confid-
ing in a portrait of a young
man that noone else is sup-
posed to know about.
However, there is a new por-
trait each time.
The first is just an abstract
painting and the second is of
Zorro. The audience got a
good laugh out of the Butler
claiming he was the man in
the painting. The fourth time
the scene begins, it has some-
what of a change.
This time the Voice shows
his face in the window. The
Woman becomes upset
because this is not part of the
play. The Voice tries to
explain to her that she is just
"an actress in a play" and that
he has written himself into
the play so that he can con-
fess his love for her.
The Woman, still believing
Jade Scholl/Clarion Call
A scene from the Second Series production, "The
Portrait", written by Clarion student Mark Strieker.
A Voice/Man, performed by
Casey Bowser, is heard off-
stage claiming that he knows
about the portrait and he
knows who the artist is, too.
Soon the Butler/Actor, Tim
Free, dramatically enters,
and, upon seeing the portrait,
claims that it is himself.
He then proceeds to tell the
Woman that he is in love with
her, but the Voice keeps inter-
rupting. The Butler goes to
the window to get rid of the
Voice and ends up falling out
of the window to his death.
The scene ends. The scene is
repeated two more times.
that she is actually a figure in
a play jumps out the window
and kills herself. The Voice
and Butler begin to argue and
the Butler kills the Voice and
then proceeds to kill himself.
The actors' performance in
this show was intense. Mark
Strieker should also be com-
mended for giving us some-
thing new, fun, and entertain-
ing.
"Savage/Love" was clever-
ly directed by Eric Grugel.
"Savage/Love" are poems by
Sam Shepard. With a cast of
two men, six women, and a
five piece jazz band, Eric
turned these poems into a
short, emotion filled play.
Few people had words to
describe the play itself.
Each of the women por-
trayed an emotion that could
be combined all together into
the emotions of one woman.
This play was a love cycle of
the emotions that both a man
and woman go through in
their love lives.
The way the poems were
twisted into a different per-
spective added a special qual-
ity to the performance. Also
getting to listen to Joe
Gibson, one of the actors,
sing was a total pleasure.
All in all, this production is
one that will be remembered.
Everyone who was involved
in this show should be proud
of the show they put on,
especially considering no
money is used in any Second
Series performances.
Casey Bowser (The Voice)
had this to say after his first
college performance: "I was
nervous the whole week
before, but when it was fin-
ished, I was happy with the
end result."

Let's declare war over illegal toilets
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist
I say it's time our "leaders" in
Washington stopped blathering
about sex and started paying
attention to the issues that really
MATTER to this nation, such as
whether we should declare war on
Canada.
I say: yes. I base this position on
a shocking document that I have
obtained via a conduit that I will
identify here, for reasons of confi-
dentiality, only as "The U.S.
Postal Service." Here is a direct
quote from this document'
"STEP ONE: Before inflating
Passionate Pam, be sure to smear
plenty of..
Whoops! Wrong document! I
meant to quote from an article in
the July 1998, issue of Contractor
magazine, which was sent to me
by alert reader Steve Hill. The
article, written by Rob
Heselbarth, begins:
"WINDSOR, ONTARIO-
Americans are crossing the
Canadian border near Detroit to
purchase 3.5-gallon-per-flush toi-
lets."
That is correct: Canada has
become a major supplier of illegal
3. 5 -gallon toilets. These toilets
were banned by Congress in 1992
under the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act, which decreed
that henceforth U.S. citizens had
to buy 1.6-gallon toilets, which
would conserve a lot of water if
they worked, which unfortunately
most of them don't, the result
being that U.S. citizens now
spend more time flushing their
toilets than on all other forms of
exercise combined.
But that is not the point. The
point is that 1.6-gallon toilets are
the law of the land, and as the late
Supreme Court Justice Felix
Frankfurter stated: "Just because
Congress passes a stupid law, that
is no excuse for awwwggh."
Unfortunately, Justice Frankfurter
died at that point, but most legal
scholars believe he intended to
finish his sentence by saying"...
that is no excuse for people to go
up to Canada and buy working
toilets."
Yet that is exactly what is hap-
pening. The Contractor article
quotes a Canadian plumbing
wholesaler as follows: "We've
definitely seen an increase in the
sales of 3.5-gallon toilets. The
people who buy them are mostly
from the States. They tell us out-
right they're Americans who
came here to buy them."
The article quotes officials of
both the Department of Energy
and the Environmental Protection
Agency as stating that it is illegal
to bring these toilets into the U.S.
But it also quotes a Customs
Service official as saying that
Customs makes NO EFFORT to
confiscate the toilets. 'As long as
they tell us they have them," the
official said, "it makes no differ-
ence to us.
In other words, people can sim-
ply waltz across our borders with
illegal toilets supplied by ruthless
Canadian toilet cartels headed by
greed-crazed Canadian toilet
kingpins who will stop at nothing
to push their illicit wares on our
vulnerable society. If you are a
parent, consider this chilling sce-
nario: Your child is attending a
party, when another youngster a
"bad apple" approaches and says,
"Psst! Wanna try a 3.5-gallon
Canadian toilet? All the other kids
are doing it!" The next thing you
know, your child is acting furtive
and sneaking off to a 'tad part of
town" whenever nature calls.
Your child is HOOKED.
Perhaps your parental reaction
is: "My little Tommy would
NEVER do a thing like that!"
Well, let me ask you a couple of
questions:
-Do you fully comprehend the
power of peer pressure?
-Are you aware that your child
is not named "Tommy"?
-Did you realize that "peer pres-
sure" was a toilet-related pun?
If you answered "yes" or "no,"
then maybe you are beginning to
see why we, as a nation, need to
send a clear message to the
Canadians, in the form of either a
sternly worded letter or a nuclear
strike. Strong words, you say?
Perhaps you will change your
mind when you hear what ELSE
Canada is exporting. I refer to an
article sent in by alert reader Joe
Kovanda from the June 1998,
issue of Farm Times, reporting
that Canada's foreign trading part-
ners were complaining that ship-
ments of Canadian feed barley
contained excessive amounts of
get ready deer excrement. The
headline for this article, which I
am not making up, states: "DEER
MANURE IN BARLEY MWFS
JAPANESE."
So there is little doubt that the
entire world, or at least Japanese
barley purchasers, would stand
with us if we put a stop to
Canada's criminal reign of terror;
if we finally stood up to Canada
and said: "Listen, Maple Breath,
we are FED UP with your efforts
to DESTROY OUR WAY OF
LIFE with your LARGE, WORK-
ING TOILETS and your EXCES-
SIVE DEER DOOTS, which by
the way would be an EXCEL-
LENT NAME FOR A ROCK
BAND."
Some other advantages of
declaring war on Canada are (1)
It's one of the few foreign nations
that average U.S. citizens even
possibly the CIA - can locate on a
map; and (2) professional ice
hockey would be canceled.
There's virtually no downside! So
I urge you to call your elected rep-
resentatives TODAY and tell
them, in no uncertain terms: "I am
strongly in favor, although don't
ask me of what." Also let them
know that we, the people, don't
want to hear another word about
this Washington sex scandal. Or,
if we HAVE to hear more, how
about some new episodes?
Speaking of which, I have to go;
Passionate Pam has sprung a leak.
Music Review
Frank Black unremarkable and Meat Beat Manifesto flops
by Keith Gwillim
Assistant Lifestyles Editor
Clarion Call
After the seminal rock band The Pixies
imploded, lead singer and songwriter Frank
Black embarked on an erratic solo career;
hitting incredible highs with his self titled
album, and the sophomore Teenager Of The
Year, but astonishing lows, as evidenced by
bis third, The Cult Of Ray.
One of the reasons Ray failed was that it
relied heavily on overdubs and weighty
production. With his new release, Frank
Black And The Catholics, he ventures in the
completely opposite direction, as the entire
record was recorded live to two-track. The
result is an album as raw as anything the
Sex Pistols ever did, but worlds more intel-
ligent and restrained. Imagine a middle-
aged Nirvana on Valium and you've got a
close approximation of the album's vibe.
Just because it hasn't been meticulously
layered in a sound booth doesn't make the
record a boring listen. Simply put, it rocks,
more than anything Black's done since The
Pixies. In fact, several songs sound like
they could have been lost Pixie songs, most
notably "Solid Gold" and "All My Ghosts",
The Catholics even has a
touch of commercial via-
bility, as some songs sport
radio-friendly riffs. If "I
Gotta Move" isn't a hit,
it'll be a shame. Black
broadens his musical
palette even as he simpli-
fies his approach, though.
His version of "Six-Sixty-
Six" has an unabashed
country twang.
One thing that remains
unchanged is Black's
lyrics. They remain cryptic
as ever, and come across as
now of The Breeders, and
is just having fun with his
music now. It shows, and
makes Frank Black And
Tlie Catholics an enjoyable
listen, even if it is some-
what prosaic at times. On
my five-star rating system,
The Catholics gets a 2 1/2.
Also out now is the new
CD from electronica-dub
pioneers Meat Beat
Manifesto, entitled Actual
Sounds And Voices. Much
like the band's moniker,
the record is a confused
if he's singing them as the words pop into and jumbled mess; failing outright to pull
his head. He juxtaposes the literal with his MBM from the career slump they've been
usual sci-fi, sex, and religious imagery in for the past few years, as a younger and
here. The meaning of a line like "I served fresher crop of techno acts moves to the

It also seems that he's taken a hint from and ambient is a noble one, but they just
fellow former Pixie member Kim .Deal don't have the craft to pull it off convinc-
ingly, as many of their peers now can.
Rather than sounding like an album that
was given great care and thought, it sounds
like an old Kraftwerk bootleg with static,
random bursts of white noise, and singer
Jack Dangers' ridiculous vocals. He seems
to be trying to position himself as the next
spokesperson for techno, but has provided
his group with the worst set of songs
they've had yet.
Everything about Voices is terminally
repetitive; the entire album seems to be an
exercise in banality, from the lyrics right
down to the beats and rhythms, the core of
electronica. Dangers can't come up with
enough odd, off-kilter and spacey sound-
scapes to compete with today's ambient
front-runners, namely Future Sound Of
London and The Orb; and the beats aren't
nearly acidic or flowing enough to compete
with newer artists. Now that a more pop-
oriented group of electronic artists has
risen, MBM tries to fashion catchy hooks,
but again fails to' sustain interest. All in all,
Actual Sounds And Voices is a completely
septic and embarrassing effort. On my
five-star rating system, MBM has earned
themselves a 1/2 star.

iqje
Study Abroad student sends greetings from Mexico
by Kim M . Berheiser
Contibuting Writer
Life here in Mexico is very
different to that in the United
States. I definitely went through
some culture shock when I arrived
in Guadalajara. In fact, I didn't
like it at all. This is the first time
that I've been outside of the U.S.
for such a long time (4 months.) It
is different from being in Clarion
for 4 months as I am able to hop in
my car and go home anytime I
want.
I was so used to the things
that we all take for granted. I can
honestly say how much I appreci-
ate the simple things. For exam-
ple, people here drive like
absolute maniacs. Especially the
bus drivers, but that's a different
story. I have to take the bus every-
where, which is something I never
had to do before because I've
always had car or at least a ride.
This may sound silly, but I miss
clean air. The pollution is pretty
bad here. The smell of exhaust is
enough to kill you! Speaking of
cars. ..does anyone know what
happened to all the Volkswagen
Bugs? They're here in Mexico.
Yes, it's true. I've never seen so
many in one place in my life.
They're everywhere. In fact, the
family that I'm living with owns
two!
Here is some information
about the family that I'm living
with this semester. The dad is a
professor at the University of
Guadalajara, which is not the
school that I am going to. The
mom is a secretary at an elemen-
tary school. There are 4 kids.
Laura, 23, is the oldest. She works
at a Hewlett Packard office and
takes English classes there which
are provided for the whole office.
Oscar, 20, is now studying at
Arkansas State Univ. for the Fall
semester. Alfonso, 18, is a fresh-
man at my university. Gerardo,
14, is in 8th grade. The whole
family is very close and they are
active with the Scouts &
Girlscouts of Mexico.
Their house is a nice 4 bed-
room, two story. I have my own
room and own bathroom, which is
great. There is no yard, only a
closed in tile patio. My family has
the typical things that we have:
TV, microwave, washer, dryer,
phone, computer, stereo, etc. They
have a maid that comes 3 times a
week to clean and do laundry.
About the food... no, I am not liv-
ing on tacos, nachos or burritos. I
found out that there are many dif-
ferent kinds of salsas. We are
familiar with the kind that you eat
with tortilla chips, but there are a
lot of salsas. Usually for breakfast
I eat cereal or fruit. Their big meal
of the day is at 3pm, it is called
"comer." The whole family comes
home from school or work and we
all sit down and eat. This usually
consists of soup, a type of meat or
dish, a salad or vegetables and a
dessert. I have noticed that
Mexicans like to put chilis on
everything. They also like to eat a
lot of frijoles; (beans), tortillas,
and cheese. Around 9pm or so, is
"cenar." This is lighter than din-
ner and you can basically eat
whatever you can find. For the
most part, the food is good.
However, after being here for 6
weeks, my stomach hasn't adjust-
ed, as I have been sick for a week.
I'm tasting alot of new foods. The

Bobby Tessel cracks
up Clarion
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
On Wednesday, October 28,
comedian Bobby Tessel
brought his hijinks to the
Gemmell multipurpose room.
Presenting material on the
flammable nature of Kellogg's
All-Bran, peanut butter in his
ear, and the bizarre events of
'the other day" (based on how
his jokes often began with
"The other day I was...").
Tessel kept the crowd laughing
for a solid sixty-five minute
set. Even a microphone stand
with a mind of its own couldn't
derail the stand-up comic, who
seemed to be having the time
of his life.
Opening with a bit about how
the first comedian on a bill
usually sucks, then "realizing"
he was that first comedian.
Tessel asked the crowd to "give
it up for the other two guys!"
From there, he took a clean-cut
approach to areas where other
comics would go for the cheap,
unintelligent toilet humor -
even his bits about fooling
around with a French girl were
no worse than a PG-13 movie.
A veteran of late-night TV,
Tessel has appeared on the
Tonight Show, Late Night with
Conan O'Brien, and The Late
Show with David Letterman.
Sponsored by the UAB, and
Road Rally approved, the show
was still sparsely attended,
possibly due to a lack of pub-
licity. Even with the small
attendance though, Clarion
made Mr. Tessel feel welcome.

Paul Roberson
Memorial concert
courtesy of
University Relations
Paul Robeson, a multi-
talented entertainer known
worldwide during the
1930s and 1940s, was born
100 years ago on April 9,
1898. Clarion Universiy of
Pennsylvania will honor
the 100th anniversary of
his birth with the Paul
Robeson Centennial
Memorial Concert on Nov.
11 at 8:15 p.m. in Hart
Chapel.
Baritone/bass singer
William Broyles Jr. will
perform Robeson's music,
interspersing the concert
with commentary about the
singer's life and videotape
highlights of his perfor-
mances.
Broyles also displays
memonbilia of the enter-
tainer's life. Broyles will
be accompanied by pianist
Regina Papiyants. The
concert, which is free and
open to the public, is spon-
sored by the Clarion
Universiy Foundation,
Department of Music,
Office of Social Equity,
and African American
Faculy Caucus.
Paul Robeson (1998 -
1976), entertainer and civil
rights/political activist,
was born to a plantation
slave turned preacher. His
first professional stage
performance came in 1922,
but his high school drama
teacher anticipated his
career by a good many
years when she put young
Robeson in the title role of
"Othello."
Robeson studied a wide
range of subjects, from
Greek to law, and graduat-
ed from Rutgers College
with the highest scholastic
average in the college's
history, lettering five times
in sports, and being named
to the All-American foot-
ball team twice.
It was only after com-
pleting law courses at
Columbia University that
he went into theater.
His reputation was made
as a stage performer with a
leading part in "All God's
William Broyles Jr.
Chiljun Got Wings," an all
black show. He followed
title roles in other produc-
tions including "Emperor
Jones" and "Black Boy."
He was also successful in
Hollywood acting in the
movies "Emperor Jones,"
'Show Boat" in which he
sang the classic "Old Man
River," "Song of
Freedom," and "King
Solomon's Mines". He
performed recitals of spiri-
tuals nationwide and the
spiritual on the concert
stage is eternally linked to
Robeson's voice. .
Broyles takes great pride
saluting Paul Robeson, his
idol since youth. He was
one of the hosts at the Paul
Robeson Exhibit and
Memorial Concert in 1985
at Royal Festival Hall and
Queen Elizabeth Hall.
An operatic and versatile
singer with a wide vocal
range, and a diversified
background in the perform-
ing arts, most of Broyles'
singing and dramatic
appearances are in the mid-
west.

here are so good. They are noth-
ing like the Americanized ver-
sions of Taco Bell or Chi-Chi's.
Don't worry, I'm not drinking
the water. There is bottled water
in our house, at school, in restau-
rants, everywhere.
My school is a private uni-
versity named Instituto
Tecnologico y de Estudios
Superiores de Occidente. It's
commonly known as ITESO.
It's a commuter campus with
about 6,000 students. There are
two computer labs, and only one
of the labs has two laser printers.
The library is small and makes
Carlson look like heaven.
The professors seem nice
and very laid-back as students
are constantly leaving for 20
minutes at a time and coming
back. Where they go, I don't
know. Students are nice and are
excited to meet someone from
the United States. Classes began
on August 3rd and end on
November 19th. I have four
classes, all in the morning. My
earliest class is 7 to 9 a.m. on
Mondays and Fridays. Since I
take the bus, I have to get up at 5
a.m. and be at the bus stop by 6
a.m. Thank goodness I only
have to do it two days a week.
And you guys thought an 8 a.m.
class was bad? All classes last
two hours, no matter what day it
is. There are even classes on
Saturday. Guadalajara is a very
diverse city. To me, it's huge. I
live on the outskirts of
Pittsburgh, so I'm not used to the
city life. Some parts of
Guadalajara are beautiful and
rich in culture and history. Other
parts are povery stricken.
People are nice and even
though I can speak to them in
Spanish, my d*** accent tells
them I'm a 'gringa.' Everyone
speaks so fast here. Some people
have thick accents and they run
words together, which makes it
difficult to hear just one distin-
guishable word. However, I'm
getting used to the accent and
feel that I am improving as each
day passes.
Since I am a secondary ed./
Spanish major, I decided to look
into teaching English down here.
Since there is a strong desire to
learn English, there are lots of lit-
tle schools that teach English. It
would be a great way to practice
my teaching skills.
1 have adjusted to living
here, but I would not want to live
here for the rest of my life. It's
nice to see how Mexico is similar
or different to the U.S.

The Golden Eagles will trav-
el to Lock Haven Saturday with
hopes of snapping their three-
game losing streak. The
Golden Eagles should have
plenty of incentive in this
game. Not only does Clarion
still have a chance to finish
.500 in the PS AC- West and
higher than the fifth-place fin-
ish the coaches predicted, but
they can also avenge last year's
33-32 setback to the Bald
Eagles.

West Chester outscores Clarion, 44-40
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
Clarion's 44-40 loss to West
Chester Saturday at Memorial
Stadium proved to be a game of
records.
For West Chester, wide receiver
Kevin Ingram set the PSAC sin-
gle-game record with 401 yards
receiving on 13 catches to lead the
Rams to their sixth win in nine
starts.
For the Golden Eagles, wide
receiver Alvin Slaughter entered
the game needing seven catches to
tie Tim Brown's school record of
169 career receptions. Slaughter
was twice as good, nabbing 14
passes for 211 yards and three
touchdowns.
However, it's the record the
Golden Eagles won't be able to
achieve that made the loss a bitter
one. At 3-6 with two games
remaining on the schedule, the
Eagles will fall short of a winning
record for the second consecutive
season.
With an overall winning record
out of reach, the Golden Eagles
will aim to finish their season with
wins over Lock Haven and
California to finish 3-3 in the
PSAC-West.
'That's our goal right now," said
Clarion head coach Malen Luke.
"We want to win our last two
games and finish higher than what
we were picked — fifth in the
West."
The Golden Eagles will travel
Following the game, Slaughter
showed more concern for the loss
than care for the individual
record.
"I wasn't thinking about records
today," he said. "I just wanted to
win. I still think we can play with
anyone in this league. Sometimes
we just don't come out with emo-
tion. Sometimes we come out
flat."
The season has seen the All-
American put up some impressive
numbers in the beginning of the
year, followed by a short stretch in
which opponents found a way to
key on the Carol City, Fla., native
to Lock Haven Saturday. -
and slow his production.
However, Slaughter has returned
to putting up big numbers.
"At the beginning of the year I
really wanted it a lot, especially
after Youngstown State (103
yards, one touchdown)," he said.
"But toward the middle of the sea-
son I guess I expected it to happen
— for me to go out there and put
up big numbers — but it didn't
happen like that. I went out there
and started dropping passes and
went through a drought in which I
just couldn't stay consistent with
my hands.
"The past couple of games I've
George Groff/Clarion Call
started really started concentrat-
ing Mondays and Tuesdays during
practice."
Another bright spot for the
Eagles was the play of first-year
players tight end Andy Pore and
running back Glenn Allen.
Pore, a graduate of nearby
Keystone High School whose
brother Tom plays for Miami of
Ohio, hauled in five passes for 71
yards. Allen, a McKeesport High
School graduate who figures to
team with fellow frosh Demetric

Edinboro sweeps PSAC cross country championships
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
Edinboro University dominated
a strong field at the PSAC cross
country championships Saturday
at Mayfield Golf Club in Clarion,
sweeping both the men's a
women's titles.
The cool morning did nothing to
slow the Scots, as the men's team,
ranked No. 1 in the East Region in
the Division II poll, finished with
a mere 21 points for its 21st title
in 30 years. Shippensburg, which
had hoped to overtake the Scots,
finished 46 points behind at 67.
The Fighting Scots, also the top-
ranked team in the East in the
women's poll, took top honors in
the women's race at 31 points.
Shippensburg was again second at

The host Golden Eagles placed

Ean King led the way for
Clarion, finishing in 30th place
with a time of 28 minutes, 57 sec-

back at 29:25, while Mark Trzyna
was the third Golden Eagle to

the Golden Eagles all season, was

Kelly Null was 33rd for Clarion at

Where: Hubert Jack Stadium, Lock Haven, Pa.
When: Saturday, 1 p.m.
Radio: C 93 (92.7)
The Golden Eagles will play their final away game of the 1998 cam-
paign Saturday when they travel to face PSAC-West rival Lock Haven for
a 1 p.m. clash at Hubert Jack Stadium.
Clarion, 3-6 overall and 1-3 in the PSAC-West, has its sights set on a
.500 record in the PSAC-West with this Saturday's game with the Bald
Eagles and a Nov. 14 matchup with California remaining on the sched-
ule.
Lock Haven, led by third-year head coach Nick Polk, enters the con-
test with an identical 3-6 overall record and a 1-3 mark in the PSAC-
West. The Bald Eagles lost the season opener to Kutztown 35-7, lost to
l-AA Buffalo 40-17, and at Bloomsburg 22-7, before defeating Cheyney
37-20. Lock Haven lost at IUP 47-6, defeated California 28-14, lost at
Edinboro 37-15, defeated Mansfield 24-10, and lost last Saturday to
Shippensburg 35-28 after leading for most of the game. Polk has a
three-year record of 7-24 at Lock Haven.
Lock Haven's offense is averaging 282 yards per contest. The Bald
Eagles average 127.7 on the ground and 155.2 through the air.
The "O" is directed by quarterback Ed Galiczynski, who has complet-
ed 90 of 166 passes for 1,277 yards and eight touchdowns.
His favorite targets are wideout Jeremy Burkett (33 grabs, 658 yards,
three touchdowns) and tight end Jason Kundtz (21 catches, 295 yards,
and two touchdowns).
Lock Haven likes to run the football and has two quality running backs
to get the job done. Jamie Allen has 136 rushes for 607 yards and eight
touchdowns, plus has 11 catches for 159 yards and a touchdown. Allen
ranks fourth in the PSAC in averaging 89.7 yards per game. His back-
up is 1997 starter Sean Fisher, who ran for 197 yards on 21 carries
against Clarion last year. He missed last week's game against
Shippensburg with a knee injury and it's up in the air for Saturday.
Lock Haven's defense is giving up 261 .1 rushing yards and 152.9 pass-
ing yards per game for a total offense of 369 yards per contest.
The Golden Eagles have not forgotten last year's 33-32 loss to the Bald
Eagles. Clarion will look to avenge that loss and end a three-game los-
ing streak this Saturday.

test with an identical 3-6 overall record and a 1-3 mark in the PSAC-
West. The Bald Eagles lost the season opener to Kutztown 35-7, lost to
l-AA Buffalo 40-17, and at Bloomsburg 22-7. before defeating Cheyney
37-20. Lock Haven lost at IUP 47-6, defeated California 28-14, lost at
Edinboro 37-15, defeated Mansfield 24-10, and lost last Saturday to
Shippensburg 35-28 after leading for most of the game. Polk has a
three-year record of 7-24 at Lock Haven.
Lock Haven's offense is averaging 282 yards per contest. The Bald
Eagles average 127.7 on the ground and 155.2 through the air.
The "O" is directed by quarterback Ed Galiczynski, who has complet-
ed 90 of 166 passes for 1,277 yards and eight touchdowns.
His favorite targets are wideout Jeremy Burkett (33 grabs, 658 yards,
three touchdowns) and tight end Jason Kundtz (21 catches, 295 yards,
and two touchdowns).
Lock Haven likes to run the football and has two quality running backs
to get the job done. Jamie Allen has 136 rushes for 607 yards and eight
touchdowns, plus has 11 catches for 159 yards and a touchdown. Allen
ranks fourth in the PSAC in averaging 89.7 yards per game. His back-
up is 1997 starter Sean Fisher, who ran for 197 yards on 21 carries
against Clarion last year. He missed last week's game against
Shippensburg with a knee injury and it's up in the air for Saturday.
Lock Haven's defense is giving up 261 .1 rushing yards and 152.9 pass-
ing yards per game for a total offense of 369 yards per contest.
The Golden Eagles have not forgotten last year's 33-32 loss to the Bald
Eagles. Clarion will look to avenge that loss and end a three-game los-
ing streak this Saturday.

Swimming and diving teams open season
By Lori Matachak
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Clarion men's and women's
swim team had a great weekend
of competition in Edinboro at
their pre-season exhibition meet
against Westminster, Lock Haven,
IUP, Slippery Rock, and
Edinboro.
If scores were kept, it would
have been a close meet between
IUP and Clarion in the women's
competition and the Slippery
Rock and Clarion men, coach Bill
Miller said.
Strong performances for the
women were turned in by Tina
Decker in the 100 backstroke
(1:02.83), who also tied with
Kelly Horner in the 50 freestyle
with a time of 26.01. Horner also
had a strong performance in the
100 butterfly with a clocking of
1:02.81.
Megan Tracy touched the wall
in the 100 backstroke with a time
of 2:14.90. Sarah Yocum turned
in a Ume of 11:04.59 in the 1000
freestyle, while Shannon Cattoni
had a 200 freestyle time of
1:59.29 and a 100 freestyle time
of 54.94.
Sophomore Andrea Faller had a
50 freestyle time of 25.99 and
Christina Tillotson had a 100
breaststroke time of 1:08.28 and a
2:11.71 clocking in the 200 indi-
vidual medley.
Strong performances for the
men included Joe Estalack in the
100 backstroke with a time of
56:67. Matt Buckley and Brian
Monico recorded times of 1:51.49
and 1:50.58 respectively in the
200 freestyle.
Jon Rohrbach had a 1:02.06
time in the 100 breaststroke, Dan
Pierce had a 55.04 time in the 100
backstroke and a 22.24 time in the
50 freestyle, and John Smithson
finished in 22.20 in the 50
freestyle.
Aaron Ulishney, Adam
Ulishney, and Ago Szabo checked
in with times of 2:03.50, 2:03.94,
2:03.51 respectively in the 200
backstroke.
The Clarion men's and women's
diving teams competed in
Oakland, Mich., Saturday in their
first meet of the season and did
they ever make a splash.
Senior Ken Bedford and sopho-
more Stephanie Sutton qualified
for nationals in their 1 -meter
events.
The meet was Bedford's first
meet since the 1997 NCAAs in
San Antonio, Texas.
"Ken was a little nervous since
he had not competed for so long,
but this weekend it all wore off
and his competitiveness came
back without a problem," said
coach Hrovat.

and three touchdowns on 14 car-
ries.
"We had some freshman —
Andy and Glenn Allen — who
played well today," said Luke.
"We always said that we had great
recruiting class."
However, the day would belong
to West Chester's Ingram, who
scored the first touchdown of the
game and set up the final, decisive
touchdown for the Rams. On the
opening play for the Rams,
Ingram caught an 80-yard pass for
a touchdown and a 7-0 WCU
lead.
Clarion would go on to take a
33-24 half time lead on three
touchdown receptions by
Slaughter and a pair of scoring
runs by Allen.
West Chester scored the first 13
points of the second half to take
the lead at 37-33, with just under

five minutes remaining to play.
Yet, fewer than sixty seconds
later, Allen punched in after shed-
ding a host of would-be tacklers
on a 15-yard touchdown jaunt.
The Eagles then pinned West
Chester on its own 8-yard line,
only to see Ram quarterback
Mike Mitros hook up with Ingram
for an 81 -yard strike to the
Clarion 11. Two plays later,
Mitros scored on a two-yard dive
to give the Rams the win.
Clarion had two more posses-
sions to retake the lead, but the
Rams, playing a staunch prevent
defense, kept the Clarion offense
from moving the ball.
Moving the ball wasn't a prob-
lem for the teams for the rest of
the afternoon, though. Clarion
amassed 528 yards while West
Chester rolled up 593.
"As a spectator, it probably
would have been fun to watch,"
said Luke. "It wasn't fun to
watch as a coach, though."

V-P Rearick and Huska
resignations shake up Senate
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
Student Senate Vice President Nathan
Rearick announced his resignation at Monday
night's meeting.
"I will resign my position by December," he
said. "I have been offered an internship in
Harrisburg and I have decided to take it."
"I apologize for any inconvenience that I
have caused..it was an offer I -pretty much
couldn't refuse," Rearick added.
The information about Rearick comes not six
months after he made different statements
about taking an internship during Senate pres-
idential debates at the end of last semester.
According to the Constitution of the Clarion
Students' Association, a president and vice-
president are elected by Senators, but the offi-
cers may not'student teach or intern outside of
a 15-mile radius of the University during their
term in office.
"Stacy (Henninger, last year's Student
Huska Rearick
Senate vice presi-
dent) asked him what he would do if he got an
internship outside the radius outlined in the
constitution," said Nicole DeFrank, the 1997-
1998 Student Senate president. "He said that
Senate was more important and if he was
elected to an office, he would stay."
Rearick' s decision came hours after Jason
Huska, chair of the Student Facilities
Committee, tendered his resignation from
Senate. Huska cited personal reasons for leav-
ing Senate, but declined to comment further.
Several current Senators have voiced their
concern over Rearick's decision.
"On a personal level, it is very disappoint-
ing," said Leslie Suhr, treasurer of Student
Senate. "On a professional level, it will take a
lot of restructuring within Senate itself."
"I just wish that former vice president
Rearick would have thought about this last
year during elections when he was asked about
taking and internship and he said no. I hope he
didn't use it as a resume builder," Suhr added.
Senator John Brown said he has mixed emo-
tions about Rearick's resignation.
"He is a friend and a colleague," he said.
"Internships and jobs are vital, but your word
is your bond and it seems as if Nathan used the
position as a good resume builder."
"I'm speechless. ..it's kind of a stab in the
back," Brown added.
The woman who preceded Rearick as vice
president, Stacy Henninger, has also made her
oninion known ahonf this situation

'Civility With Diversity' is BSGP issue
State System of Higher Education
The System Works for Pennsylvania
by Leslie Suhr
ClarionCall Assistant
Managing Editor
The board of Student
Government Presidents (BSGP)
met at Edinboro University
November 6 through 8 to select an
issue of the year. "Civility" was
chosen as the Board's commit-
ment for the upcoming year.
Each year, the Board selects an
issue that is affecting campuses
within the State System. The pur-
pose of selecting an issue is so
that the State System schools join
together to make a firm commit in
enhancing the quality of educa-
tion and impact the student bodies
with issues that the Board will
support.
David Day, Student Government
President at Edinboro addressed
the need to make campuses hand-
icapped accessible and provide
opportunities for those that have
disabilities an -opportunity to
attend any of the 14 State System
schools.
Many constituents said that
facilities at their universities were
not accessible to students and that
many students with disabilities
would tend to be drawn to a
school like Edinboro which is
well known for its accessibility.
Day said, "It is a wake up call to
universities. We have over 500
students with disabilities who turn
down admittance to other univer-
sities to come to Edinboro
because of accessibility. But,
when they enter the real world
they will be extremely spoiled."
Members of Kutztown made an
appeal for BSGP to make an
awareness of civility with diversi-
ty among campus groups. This
issue came around after several
schools in the State System have
experienced demonstrations
against religious and political
groups as well as against the gay
community.
This also came as a result of the
brutal killing of Matthew
Shepard, a University of
Wyoming student who was beaten
to death after students discovered
that he was gay.
After lengthy discussion,
Kristina Christmas, Edinboro
University vice president, sug-
gested to combine the issues and
have BSGP make the issue of the
year, "Civility With Diversity."
This would include recognizing
not only multicultural differences,
but students with sexual, physical,
or political differences as well.
Clarion University Student
Senate President and BSGP
Parliamentarian Tammi Snyder
said, "This places an emphasis on
the sameness of everyone and not
exploiting the differences of oth-
ers."
"You can't force people to
change their opinions or feel the
same way as everyone else if they
don't. But, the State System as a
whole is uniting together to say
that there is some ignorance but
we want people to recognize and
respect the differences of others,"
she added.
At the Febuary BSGP meeting
students will discuss the issue in
detail and have speakers to pre-
sent seminars on the topic to carry
back to the schools. The Board
will also prepare a mission state -

Student Portraits"
I would not trade the portrait of
my Clarion education for any-
thing in the world. Honestly.
Over the past six years, the stu-
dents and faculty at Clarion
University (CSC when I began)
have all sketched a pan in the
painting which is my collegiate
learning experience. This portrait
has included intense study within
the fields of English and
Communication as well as exten-
sive involvement with The
Clarion Call, and participation,
on a lesser scale, with other cam-
pus media organizations.
The expensive textbooks have
provided the lines which the
artists have followed in designing
this portrait. The English and
Communication classes are the
colors in the painting. The teach-
ers within my majors are the
artists who have carefully mixed
the colors. The students, varied
as they are, have contributed their
subtle brush strokes in softening
any rough edges.
The portrait, however, would
not be complete without a proper
canvas to hold the colors and the
proper wood to frame the work.
The finishing touches on this
detailed portrait have been pro-
vided in two ways. One is my
involvement with The Clarion
Call, and two is through my
appreciation for Clarion
University's general education
requirements (you know, the left
side of the check sheet).
Clarion University has a lot of
raw material for use in many por-
traits of learning, but it is up to
the students to seek out and take
advantage of those materials.
Media organizations, such as The
Call, TV5, The Sequelle,
WCCB-AM and WCLIC-FM all
have extensive facilities for a
school of this size. During my
three years with The QiH, i had
# hands on experience* with the
entire printing process. I have
also developed an eye for layout
and an understanding of what
makes a good photo. All of this
knowledge has worked its way
into my collegiate portrait from
beyond the boundaries of the
classroom. All of this practical
knowledge is readily available to
those who are willing to strive for
it.
The absolute key to a full and
well-rounded college education
lies in the university's "general
education requirements." These
provide the canvas upon which
the artists spread their color.
Before any great lawyer can be
painted, on the canvas, he/she
must have an understanding of
English Literature and the art of
rhetoric. An understanding of the
field of psychology could also
prove to be a very effective tool
for a young lawyer. These genres
provide the basis of a sound edu-
cation, yet so often they are the
target of abuse and ridicule.
Let's examine my own experi-
ence. I wasn't happy about taking
courses which didn't directly per-
tain to my major, but I gave them
my best shot. Now I see the ben-
efits of those classes. I am not a
Psych major, but I have some
familiarity with the work and
assertions of Jung, Freud,
Pavlov, and Skinner. I haven't
spent most of my college career
studying various art forms, yet I
am familliar with many artists
including Renoir, Dali, Worhol,
Picasso-and my favorite artist-
Van Gogh. I own only one
Philosophy text, which I haven't
looked at in quite some time, yet
I readily appreciate the genre and
understand the philosophies of
Descartes, Kierkegaard, and
Hume. I am convinced that all of
this knowledge will someday aid
me in my career as an English
teacher.
I have a very limited under-
standing of computers, yet I

You better be pre-
pared to pay more
than you would at
your local conve-
nience store"
Matt Nickolas, Circulation Manager
College students worry about
many different things as they go
through school. Usually a stu-
dent's classes and studies rank at
the top. But for some students,
money may be just as big of a
problem. Many students pride
themselves on being financially
independent of their parents.
Other students do receive some,
if not all, financial support from
their families. Whether the
money comes from you, the stu-
dent, or your families, "a buck is
a buck."
I wonder how many students
realize how much they pay for
certain items. The best example
would have to be flex dollars.
Flex dollars, for anyone who
does not know, come with some
meal plans offered by the univer-
sity. These flex dollars can be
used to purchase food at the
snack bar on campus. One hun-
dred flex dollars is the most com-
mon amount thai comes with
meal plans. For the one hundred
flex dollars that you receive in
the meal plan, you are paying
$125 dollars.
Does this make sense to you? It
sure doesn't to me. For some col-
lege student, $25 is a gold mine.
In my opinion, the quality of food
has been decreasing since I first
arrived at Clarion three years
ago. If you happen to be a student
who does not have flex dollars,
and just want to grab a quick
drink, GOOD LUCK!!! You bet-
ter be prepared to pay far more
than you would at your local con-
venience store.
I just can't understand why a
snack bar, (that is supposed to be
for the students), would not have
deals fhstead of being a money
vacuum. If you don't have time
to go to the cafeteria, the snack
bar is your only hope.
Another expense that I am sure
many students face, including
myself, is parking tickets. I use
the word expense instead of fine,
because now getting a parking
ticket is just something I expect
in my daily routine.

Letter To The Editor
"If something that small eats at you so badly, I
would hate to see you in the real world."
Dear Editor,
I'm writing in response to the
letter to the editor in the
November 5th issue of The
Clarion Call. I am a disc jockey
at 91 .7 WCUC radio, and I do use
the TV5 Weather Center Forecast
slogan before I give the weather.
It not only has a nice ring to it but
it also helps give publicity to
TV5. TV5 helps promote our sta-
tion so why shouldn't we help
them out by promoting their sta-
tion?
The saying came first as a joke
on Joe Kapp's morning show last
year. It was catchy, as was most
things he said, so the slogan
caught on and a majority of us
decided to use it. However, it is
the DJ's choice whether or not
they want to use the TV5 slogan
during the weather. Most people
know that TV5 doesn't have a
weather center, but it sounds bet-
ter than "AP wire forecast."
Besides we're not lying. You're
getting your weather, slogan or
not.
Second of all, our door is
always open to suggestions. So
next time, instead of voicing your
opinion to the public, bring your
ideas straight to us and we'll be
glad to listen and take them into
consideration.
"Name Withheld," if something
that small eats at you so badly, I
would hate to see you in the real
world.
Signed,
Committee to save the TV5

"The Second Series provides an addi-
tional avenue for Clarion Students..."
Dear Editor,
I would like to thank The Call
for covering the opening of two
student plays in your November
5th issue. The efficacy of the
Second Series program depends
on feedback from professors, stu-
dent audiences and the press. The
Second Series provides an addi-
tional avenue for Clarion stu-
dents to explore their creativity in
production, direction, and play-
wrighting, and gives a valuable
opportunity for stage exposure to
those students who have not been
cast in Main Stage productions.
I would, however, like to make
one correction to the article.
Second Series productions, such
as The Portrait and Savage Love
do receive funding for production
expenses. Royalties must be paid,
scripts purchased or in the case of
original plays, duplicated.
Properties, posters, and programs
all need to be paid for. While the
level of funding is not that, for
example, the upcoming produc-
tion of Jesus Christ Superstar,
there is a specific budget line in
our budget granted by the Clarion
Student's Association for Second
Series, a valuable and integral
component of Clarion University
Theatre.

"I find no reason to discriminate against a group of people
because of their comfort zones..."
Dear Editor,
I take a serious amount of pride
in the letters I wear on my chest,
as does every other greek indi-
vidual, whether they are male or
female. So what if the greek let-
ters are different. We're all peo-
ple with similar characteristics,
friendships and memories.
There are roughly 20 greek
social organizations on this cam-
pus and many of us are more sim-
ilar than you may think. Every
single one of us went through
pledging, no matter how differ-
ent. Every guy and girl knows
that their greatest experience was
crossing over into Brotherhood
or Sisterhood. Still, why should
one greek organization be looked
upon as different in a negative
aspect? There is no reason to
think differently about them
because they're football players;
they're musically inclined; they
dress preppy; they look like a
bunch of headbangers; they are
new; or they have social gather-
ings in a scuzzy basement.
I find no reason to discriminate
against a group of people because
of their comfort zones. So I say
this to those of you that do. If you
dislike me because I am a jerk,
then that is just fine. But if you
judge me by the letters I wear on
my chest without ever taking the
time to talk to me, then that is no
different than judging me by my
race, gender, or religion. I know
that there are a lot of people who
relate to this.
My opinion may not be valued
by some, but I see the greek sys-
tem as a large plaid quilt, where
every color represents a different
greek organization. These pieces
are sewn together to form, sym-
bolizing "together but different."
That is why I not only value the
friendships of my brothers of
Sigma Pi, but I also value the
friendships of the people in other
greek organizations. This stretch-
es from Monaco and Hamilton of
Sigma Tau Gamma; Zack and
Luke of Sigma Chi; Radar and
Kid of Kappa Delta Rho; Mike
and Jim of Alpha Chi Rho; Ames
and Tom Cat of Theta Chi: Scott
and Chris of Phi Mu Alpha; Greg
of Kappa Alpha Psi; Janocha and
Kara of Zeta Tau Alpha; Jill of
Delta Phi Epsilon; to Maria of
Tri-Sigma. I look forward to see-
ing all of these people ten years
from now when we're all inco-
herent over ALF, reminiscing our
college days.
Most of you will read this and
probably ignore it, but as the old
saying goes, "you can't judge a
book by its cover."

Editorial Continued from Page 2 Hide Park Continued
My roommate and I drove around
the campus just the other day and
witnessed four cars that had been
immobilized by Public Safety for
failure to pay parking tickets. If
the price has not changed since
the last time I checked, It will
cost students $40 to have "the
boot" removed from their cars.
Now, I can understand giving
parking tickets to people who
have slowed the flow of traffic,
but just the other day, my room-
mate received a ticket for parking
in front of the snack bar. He was
only in the snack bar for a few
minutes. When he came out he
saw the officer writing the ticket.
When he asked why, the officer
told him that he was in the snack
bar too long.
I can't see how it is my room-
mate's fault that it takes some of
the workers in the snack bar for-
ever to fry up a hamburger. My
roommate then tried to explain
that because of the new construc-
tion there is no other place to
park. The officer then replied,
"that's not my problem," and pro-
ceeded to hand him a five dollar
ticket.
Tickets at that price can really
add up. Because of the construc-
tion, the curb in front of the snack
bar is a popular place to park. Is
it really necessary for Public
Safety to ticket these cars, or any
cars for that matter, that are not
obstructing the flow of traffic? I
don't think they realize that to a
lot of students, five dollars is a lot
for parking a car in a place that
was not bothering anyone else.
Costs like these are not needed,
and do nothing except make stu-
dents angry.

friend sometimes.)
Familiarity with things in the
world around us can only be to
our benefit.
When I first enrolled in CUP, I
got into Communication because
I knew the Communication field
had so many inherent options. I
figured I could try radio, TV,
newspaper, public relations,
graphic arts, etc. If I didn't feel
comfortable in any particular
one, I could move on to the next.
Then the general education
courses moved in and began to
influence my life. I had found
myself really enjoying English
courses which I (as a result of
the dreaded gen. ed. require-
ment) was required to take. So,
after a year and a half spent as a
Communication major, I decided
to also become an English major.
I have since continued my pur-
suit of English Literature and am
currently a graduate student in
the English Department here at
Clarion University. None of this
could have happened if it were
not lor die often disrespected
"left side of the checksheet."
Imagine, if we were to do away
with the "general education
requirements," what it would be
like to have no familiarity with
Baroque music or American
History. Parties would be a drag.
I'd have to spend most of my
evenings trying to find a person
who understands literature before
I could even begin a conversa-
tion. However, with the general
education requirements in place,
there are usually plenty of people
to converse with (intelligently)
about art, music, and even sexual
attitudes.
It is very important that we.
who claim to be students, under-
stand the importance of a com-
plete and well-rounded educa-
tion. Knowledge is the secret to
power and opportunity.
Familiarity with a great number
of subjects also aids us in the
decision-making processes which
we undertake each day. We. in
education, must always strive to
gain and share as much knowl-
edge as possible about every dis-
cipline under the sun (and
beyond). Only in this manner
will we be able to continue to
. apply the finishing brush-strokes
to a great number of complete
student portraits.

Cheerleaders prepare for competition

Learning Partnership Model h

to
develop student leadership through teaching
by Angela Everly
Clarion Call Staff Writer
A Learning Partnership Model
was presented to Faculty Senate
during their meeting Monday.
Dr. Hallie Savage of the Honors
program developed this model
and told her fellow Senators that
they are trying to accomplish two
goals.
The first goal is to help under-
graduates develop leadership
through or in a teaching role, and
the second is to enhance gifted
programs in high schools.
"Introducing high school stu-
dents and faculty to Clarion
University students and faculty
develops into a wonderful oppor-
tunity for recruitment to also take
place." Savage said.
She added that although the
model is becoming more of a suc-
cess, there has not been consistent
funding for it. Savage encouraged
Senate to contact her with ques-
tions or comments about this
model.

"The position of VP of Senate is
a very important one, but many
may not realize that until some-
thing sueh as this happens," she
said. "I am proud of Nathan for
going after what he wants and for
getting this internship, but I am
also very disappointed in his laek
of consideration for the Senate as
a whole and the students of
Clarion University."
"One should not commit him-
self to something he may know-
ingly not be able to finish,"
Henninger added.
A Senator will be named to
replace Rearick from the list of
alternates. "Tammi (Snyder) has
to train two new people and also
focus her attention on getting a
new VP," DeFrank said.
'Training new Senators is not
easy to do...it's really what the
vice president is to do."
Senate president Snyder said
that she knew of Rearick's deci-
sion last week. "I understand his
position and I understand why he
chose to do what he wanted to
do," she said. "I respect his deci-
sion, and I do wish him the best
of luck."
"However, on a personal level,
I can't help but feel rather upset
because he stated last year during
elections that he would remain
here for the entire year knowing
that he was taking summer class-
es, knowing he would only be
here for the Fall and he would be
looking for an internship," she
added. "It kind of hurts me on a
personal level because I hoped
that he would have stayed to fin-
ish out the year as vice presi-
dent."
Snyder said that she is not con-
cerned about finding a qualified
Senator to take Rearick's place.
"I hope the students
understand that taking an
internship that could lead
to a job after college is a
little more important than
being vice president of
Student Senate."
-Nathan Rearick,
outgoing Student Senate
vice president
"We have some very strong lead-
ership in Senate, so I'm not wor-
ried about someone stepping up
and taking the vice president
position."
At the next Senate meeting on
Monday, Nov. 16, Snyder said
that during the new business por-
tion of the meeting, the election
process will take place. "We will
open up nominations for the vice
president from the current
Senators and a 30-minute debate
will follow," she said. "After the
time is up, Senators will vote by
secret ballot to decide who will
be the next vice president."
"At our meeting on Nov. 30, the
new vice president will be in
place," she noted.
Alternates are called based on
their finish in last spring's elec-
tions. Earlier this semester, Kristi
Knott was called to serve follow-
ing the resignation of Meagan
Solomon. The next two students
in line are Jamie Fichera and
Becky Janus. Snyder said
Fichera will be inducted this
week to replace Huska, and she
will be a voting member of
Student Senate on Monday.
After the meeting, Rearick fur-
ther discussed his decision. T ve
been on Senate for 2.5 years and
I'm definitely going to miss it,"
he said. "I hope the students
understand that taking an intern-
ship that could lead to a job after
college is a little more important
that being vice president of
Student Senate."
According to the CSA
Constitution, the vice president
will assume all duties of the pres-
ident in the president's absence,
including presiding over the
Student Senate; serve as a mem-
ber of the Appropriations
Committee; serve as a member of
the Board of Directors; accept all
official responsibilities and oblig-
ations deemed necessary by the
Student Senate and/or president
of the Student Senate; solicit
reports from all Student Senate
standing committees; tabulate
and maintain all attendance
records of all Student Senators;
advise all standing committee
chairpersons as to their duties and
those of their committees; be a
member of the Executive
Committee.
"I would first like Nathan to
know that I am very proud of him
and his accomplishments,"
DeFrank said. "He has done a lot
of great work during his years as
a Senator and I hope this devel-
opment does not detract from
that."
"However, I do believe that
somewhere between election
time last semester and the pre-
sent, Nathan lost sight of the
importance of the position of vice
president of Student Senate," she
added.
"He and Tammi as well as the
other 18 Senators hold very
important offices and now their
structure has been shaken slightly
by this event," DeFrank said. "I
do wish Nathan the best and

Pogue spoke of his impression of
how the students gather at the

so much together in such a little

The Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority was recently approved by
Panhellenic Council and, according to Senator Nick Chervenak, chair
of the Committee on Rules and Regulations, they are not asking for
any funding from Senate.
The Campus Scouts were originally recognized back in 1980 and
they have spent more than a ye;u- reorganizing. Chervenak said they
are primarily a community service organization.
Senator John Brown updated Senate on final plans for next week's
Social Equity Dinner. He said that problems with the invitations
delayed mem from getting sent until earlier this week. Dr. Heather
Haberaecker, vice president for finance and administration, has made
a contribution in order to help Brown and his committee defray some
of the cost of planning and hosting this event.
Finally, president Tammi Snyder announced that she is serving on
an ad hoc commencement committee to look at issues surrounding
commencement and to come up with possible ways to improve it.
Also, she asked Senators to provide names of students who would
want to serve as marshals or ushers for Winter Commencement Dec.
19. Names should be submitted to Senate by Thursday, Nov. 19.
Snyder announced that the State System of Higher Education's
Advocacy Week has been set for April 26-30, 1999.
The tenth meeting of the Clarion University Student Senate will be
held Monday. Nov. 16 in Room 246 of the Gemmell Student Complex

AmeriCorp;
by Christine Tatum
College Press Exchange
CHICAGO - When President
Clinton swore in about 20,000
AmeriCorps volunteers in 1993,
he called them the nation's next
generation of heroes.
They were the first group to help
him fulfill a campaign promise to
create a "domestic Peace Corps"
that would give educational schol-
arships and living allowances to
volunteers in exchange for their
service.
The workers would aid thou-
sands of community programs
across the nation, largely focusing
on disaster relief, education, envi-
ronmental issues and public safe-
ty. Like the phrase emblazoned on
T-shirts and promotional banners,
they would be "Getting Things
Done."
After some hesitations by
Republicans in Congress, legisla-
tors from both parties rallied to
support the idea. Five years and
nearly 100,000 volunteers later,
many of their cheers have turned
to jeers.
Support for the program's
$425.5 million annual budget now
comes from a mixed bag of politi-
cians — those who say
AmeriCorps should be reinvented,
if not scrapped all together, and
those who insist it's the most
promising government program
established in decades.
Despite the bitter complaints and
pointed suggestions for improve-
ment, the Senate has indicated it
will recommend funding the pro-
gram at its current level - but no
more — for the coming fiscal
year.
Even the program's harshest
critics concede that AmeriCorps
participants are doing good work.
During the 1997-98 school year
alone, volunteers planted more
than 24.3 million trees, tutored
more than 500,000 children,
immunized about 65,000 people
and built more than 1.200 homes.
But those accomplishments
haven't been enough to quell com-
plaints that the program has been
financially mismanaged and has
fallen short of one of its principal
goals: to expand the pool of
Americans who are taking advan-
tage of educational opportunities
beyond high school.
Critics say AmeriCorps' $4,725
scholarships have, in most cases,
gone to students who had already
lined up other ways to pay for col-
lege. Many of the educational
awards have even gone unused
because students signed up for the
programs simply to gain valuable
work experience.
According to AmeriCorps'

AmeriCorps officials say the

gram's costs. Auditors say they
haven't been able to settle the dis-

In brief.
NC student dies from overdose of caffeine pills.
MOREHEAD CITY. N.C. -- A 20-year-old man died after taking a
dare from a classmate and swallowing dozens of caffeine pills.
Authorities said Jason Allen had swallowed most of the 90-pill bot-
tle - the equivalent of drinking 250 cups of coffee -- when he col-
lapsed Oct. 20 outside one of his general education classes at Carteret
Community College. It was not known when he consumed the pills,
authorities said.
A security guard at the school found Allen and called for help,
authorities said.
Allen died from heart rhythm irregularities associated with a high
dosage of caffeine, which is a central nervous system stimulant.
Carteret County prosecutors said they will decide whether to pursue
charges when police interviews are finished and the results of
toxicology tests performed on Allen's body are in.
Syracuse suspends fraternity after pledge injured
SYRACUSE, N.Y." The circumstances surrounding a Sigma Chi
pledge whose drunken stupor landed him in the hospital have prompted
Syracuse University officials to suspend the fraternity for what they say
could be another Greek hazing incident.
While no charges have been filed against Sigma Chi or the bar where
19-year-old Jonathan Robbins was served alcohol, many students on
campus are asking whether anyone other than Robbins should be held
responsible for his lapse in good judgment.
Robbins had been passed out for nearly 1 8 hours by the time his room-
mate called for help. His blood-alcohol content was .46-four times the
legal driving limit and dangerously close to death, university spokesman
Kevin Morrow said.
"His roommate probably saved his life," Morrow said.
According to police reports, Robbins was seen drinking the night before
with members of the fraternity at a local sports bar popular with the uni-
versity's Greeks. Fraternity members drove him home and helped him to
bed. Robbins was hospitalized the next day and released the day follow-
ing.
University officials suspect Sigma Chi ~ already on probation for other
violations of campus policies - played a role in Robbins' binge drinking,
Morrow said. As a result, the fraternity could face expulsion - a fate
many Syracuse students are debating.
"He (Robbins) was stupid and is a total idiot," said Lyn Wimple, a 20-
year-old illustration major. "He deserves what happened."
"That he was pledging a fraternity gives the university a place to point
the finger," said Lyle Shcmer, a 21 -year-old advertising and marketing
major. "Maybe beneath this there is a real issue about self-control and our
culture."
And what if Robbins had been drinking with a group of non-Greek stu-
dents, asked Sue Markert, a 21-year-old magazine major who also criti-
cized the fraternity's suspension.
"If a group of friends went out drinking and this happened to one of
them, there is no way the university would punish the friends," she said.
Nevertheless, some students say the fraternity should accept some
responsibility for the incident - regardless of whether hazing was actual-
ly involved.
"The brothers are in a role of responsibility," said Jason Stefanik. a 20-
year-old advertising and marketing major. "If (Robbins) is in a bar,
underage, drinking with brothers, then the fraternity must bear some of
the blame."
Syracuse authorities temporarily closed the bar where Robbins was
served. It is unclear whether the bar will face charges in connection with
the drinking incident.
24 monkeys break out of Louisiana research center
NEW ORLEANS - Life was even livelier than a barrel of monkeys when
two dozen primates broke out of a Tulane University research center and
ran for some nearby woods, chased by workers trying to recover them.
By Oct. 20, all but three of the rhesus monkeys nad been returned to the
covered outdoor corral where they live at the Tulane University Regional
Primate Center.
The monkeys escaped by loosening the corral gate just enough to create
a space they could wiggle through.

Cureton challenges CU to
become a more diverse community
by Courtney Spangler
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Meeting the challenges of a
diverse campus community was
the focus of a speech by Doug
Cureton in the Campbell Hall
lobby Tuesday night.
Cureton, of CreativiTEAM, pre-
sented "GLBT is not a new
McDonald's sandwich" to an
audience of about 30 Clarion
University students, who exam-
ined their self-awareness, knowl-
edge, experiences, topics and the
route to changing attitudes
through a series of interactive
workshops.
The five workshops presented
were "BINGAY," "Impact of
Bias," "Riddle Scale Exercise,"
"Cleaning Your Pipes," and "The
Cost of Heterosexism."
"Cleaning Your Pipes" was an
exercise in explaining culture,
such as family, friends, gender
and religion. Students received
pipe cleaners and they were asked
to form three symbols of their
own culture and then had to
explain those symbols to other
participants.
The BINGAY workshop was a
game of bingo, but this game had
questions for students to answer.
One such question was, "Can you
name a gay or lesbian author or
can you name a gay, lesbian, or
bisexual sports figure?"
The most hard-hitting work-
shop, according to students, was
"The Cost of Heterosexism."
Each participant was given six
pieces of paper. Cureton then
asked questions, such as who your
closest friend was in grade school,
where people went on dates, and
what students' life goals were.

Last month, the Fund for the
Advancement of the State System

ored two from Clarion University
for their contributions to the
SSHE.
Each honoree was presented
with the Eberly Medal for
Philanthropy and Volunteerism at
an event held at the Zembo
Temple. The medal is named for
the Eberly family of Uniontown
in recognition of their support of
higher education statewide and
nationally.
Each of the 14 universities in
the State System nominated two
recipients for the medal.
Nominated from Clarion
University were the Henry G.

Oleta B. Amsler (volunteerism).

SSHE students could
benefit from tax change
by Danielle Boccio
Clarion Call Staff Writer
If you are a student who is
also employed by the university
you attend, more money could be
coming your way.
Most students employed
in part-time jobs by the 14 State
System of Higher Education uni-
versities may be able to stop pay-
ing Social Security taxes begin-
ning July 1, 2000.
A student who earns
$1,000 during a semester will
save $75 as a result of a Social
Security tax exemption.
In the early 1970's, states
were able to exempt student
workers from having to pay
Social Security taxes. Three
states, Pennsylvania, Texas and
New Jersey, decided against the
students being exempt from the
tax.
However, approximately
18,000 student workers could be
exempt from having to pay the
tax as a result of a possible
change in federal law.
"By the time I'm old
enough to collect Social Security
it probably wont be there, so why
should 1 pay," commented Sean
Morgan, desk clerk at Ballenline
Hall.

Student savings could

an equal amount each year.
Slightly more than 15% of a
workers gross compensation goes
to Social Security taxes, with the
employee and employer each
paying half of the total tax.
Becky Budnick, student
employee at CU, said, "It would
be great if I could save that
money now, but it is taken out for
a good cause."
A recently enacted legisla-
tion permits the remaining three
states a new opportunity to
request the exemption. The states
will have to apply to the federal
government for approval
Pennsylvania would be
among the last states to have stu-
dent employees exempted for
paying the tax.
"This will provide a bene-
fit to both our students who are
working to help pay for their col-
lege education and our universi-
ties," said State System
Chancellor James II . McCormick.
"Our students will be able to keep
more of the money they earn, and
our universities will have addi-
tional funds in their operating
budgets."

Music Festival review
1998 CMJ Music Festival rock
n' rolls into New York City
by Jeff Say
Clarion Call
Lifestyles Editor
What do you get when you put
8,000 college radio executives,
1,000 bands, and numerous open
bars together? The answer: the
1998 College Music Journal New
Music Festival.
This years CMJ music and film
fest took place in New York City
for four days of panel discussions,
new bands, and new and unre-
leased films.
The opening day ceremonies
began in the Millenium Hotel with
free concerts by local and
unknown bands. Booths were set
of panel discussions, most of them
focusing around the college radio
scene. The first panel to kick off
the event dealt with record com-
pany promotions departments and
how they find and sign unknown
bands. The panelists include-
drecord company executives such
as: Matador record's Gerard
Cosloy, Brian Long of Geffen
records, Rob Seidenberg of
Hollywood records and Art
Alexakis of Everclear. Alexakis
who is better known as the voice
and guitar behind Everclear has
started his own record label. The
panel discussed how the different
labels go about finding and evalu-
ating up and coming bands.
as they played songs off their new
album "Grand Tourismo".
Straying away from the faux 60's
sound on their previous album,
the Cardigans are trying to put
Lovefool behind them and move
on with a new trip-pop sound.
The panels continued on Friday
with the ever popular College
Day. The day began with the
annual free breakfast as dreary
and grumpy radio execs, pulled
themselves out of bed at the early
hour of nine to grab free food.
The first panel of the day was the
state of college radio on the com-
munity. Panelists fielded ques-
tions from the audience on how to
improve relations between college
radio and the surrounding com-
munity.
College Day continued later in
the day with Keynote Speaker
Greg Graffin of Bad Religon who
applauded college radio for sup-
porting lesser known bands and
encouraged them to continue
being "alternative".
Saturday began too early for
most attendee's as a good majori-

utives had been bowling with

from free magazines (that usually
cost readers at least 4 bucks) all

appreciated free condoms.
Wednesday evening kicked off

Thursday nights concerts includ-

emo-pop hereos Far, and the
show that I attended Scottish pop
sensations Kent and yes I actually
went and saw the Cardigans ( of
Lovefool fame.)
Kent is bursting onto the college
music scene with their British pop

How to prepare for a hurricane
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist
No doubt you've been waiting
to hear about my harrowing
experiences during Hurricane
Georges. The worst moment
came when my body was being
tossed around violently, attacked
by savage, uncontrollable forces
of terrifying power. This hap-
pened in the supermarket two
days before Georges arrived.
Going to the supermarket is a
tradition for us hurricane veter-
ans in the Miami area. When we
hear that a hurricane is coming,
we calmly and efficiently imple-
ment our Hurricane Preparation
Plan, which is: (1) Panic; and (2)
Buy random stuff.
One thing we always buy is
bleach. Even if we already have
- and many of us do - 25 bottles
of bleach at home, we buy more.
We have no idea why; we never
actually use it. Maybe we
secretly believe that the hurri-
cane is afraid of bleach. Or
maybe Clorox hires actors to go
to supermarkets, posing as hurri-
cane veterans and loudly
remarking, "After Hurricane
Andrew, the thing that saved our
lives was bleach!" Whatever the
cause, there's always a desper-
ate, shoving mob in the bleach
aisle, and if you're lucky enough
to actually get a bottle, you must
guard your shopping cart with
firearms (which, in Miami, are
sold in the firearms aisle).
Once you have your bleach,
you race frantically around the
supermarket buying a massive
supply of Emergency Hurricane
Food, defined as "food that you
will never actually consume,
even if the alternative is to eat
i
fMfet
ST
"
V
your sofa." You find yourself
fighting with people for the last
dust-covered can of Del Monte
Lima Beans With Prune Parts in
Hearty Clam Broth. During this
phase, the supermarket employ-
ees often play pranks on the
shoppers ("I put out a dozen
cans labeled 'Sheep Vomit,' and
they were gone in SEC-
ONDS!").
The supermarket frenzy is one
of the most dangerous times in
any hurricane. I was almost
struck by an elderly woman
pushing a shopping cart contain-
ing bleach and at least 7,000
pounds of cat food at a sustained
velocity of 28 miles per hour
(the National Weather Service
defines this as a "Category 4
Shopper").
Finally I made it home, where
I implemented the next phase of
the Hurricane Preparation Plan:
watching the TV weather
experts demonstrate, using
meteorological science and
state-of-the-art satellite and
computer technology, that they
have no idea what is going on.
They stand in front of their
giant, complex weather maps
and say things like: "...the path
that the hurricane will take
depends on whether this system
here moves any closer to this
system over here, which would
cause this other system to
become jealous of this system,
which is secretly having an
affair with this system, unaware
that this system here is the ille-
gitimate child of this system and
.the gardener, Raoul. On the
other hand, if THIS system..."
The irony was, I knew exactly
where the hurricane was going.
It had nothing to do with so-
called "meteorology": It had to
do with my hurricane shutters.
Hurricane shutters are metal
panels that many residents of
hurricane zones keep in their
garages under a protective blan-
ket of dead spiders. These pan-
els are scientifically engineered
such that, if you fasten them cor-
rectly to all your windows, you
will have long bleeding gashes
on both hands. Also you will
guarantee that the hurricane will
not come. A hurricane can,
using its eye, see whether you
have your shutters up, and if you
do, it will go somewhere else,
emitting powerful gusting
chuckles.
Ordinarily, I would have had
my shutters up, thereby keeping
Georges away, but as it happens,
this year I ordered new shutters
(the edges of the old ones were
getting dull). As Georges was
forming, workmen (1) took
away all my old shutters and (2)
piled new shutters and hardware
all around my house. This pre-
sented Georges with a rare
opportunity: Not only could it
destroy my house: it could
destroy my house by whacking
it to pieces with my new hurri-
cane shutters. So Georges
aimed straight for my house. If
the weather experts had known,
they could have just said.
"Hurricane Georges is currently
at latitude X and longitude Y,
and it is going to Dave Barry's
house."
Fortunately, I happen to be a
pretty handy "do-it-yourselfer,"
so rather than leave the new
shutters lying on the ground, I
was able, using my natural
mechanical ability, to beg the
workmen to put them up. So
they did, and Georges immedi-
ately swerved away. (I sincerely
apologize to the people it hit,
but at that point, I was no longer
steering.)
For the remainder of the hur-
ricane, I watched the TV cover-
age, which consisted mainly of
TV reporters in bright yellow
rain slickers going into evacua-
tion zones and asking the resi-
dents, in highly judgmental
tones, why they did not evacu-
ate. Just once, I wanted to hear
a resident answer: "Hey, I'm
here because I LIVE here.
What's YOUR excuse,
Hairspray Boy?"
Anyway, I'm glad hurricane
season is almost over. And I
decided that I'm not going to
wait until the "last minute" to
get ready for the next season.
That's right: I already bleached
my shutters.
All kidding aside, if you want
to help the many people who are
still suffering because of
Georges, you can send a contri-
bution to the DISASTER
RELIEF FUND, c/o the

Percusion
ensemble
pounds it
out
by James Gates
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Last Wednesday, the Clarion
Department of Music put on a
percussion ensemble for Clarion
students and the open public in
the Marwick Boyd Auditorium.
The concert featured some of the
finest percussionists Clarion has
to offer and was rather enjoyable
throughout.
The concert contained six
selections from composers such
as Maxine Lefever, Garwood
Whaley, and Anthony Cirone.
Zito Carno, F.J. Hayden, and
Alan Abel also had their works
performed.
Although Marwick Boyd
Auditorium was sparsely popu-
lated, the crowd that did show up
was enthusiastic and not let
down by the accomplished per-
formance. From the softest
strokes, to the loudest accents,
the crowd was capdvated by the
phenomenal level of playing.
Any student who enjoys music
at all should see the percussion
ensemble next time. It is defi-
nitely worth it.
This year's percussion ensem-
ble consisted of Nicole Dezzutti
from North Apollo, Kristen
Diaddigo from Beaver Falls,
David Hepler from Meadville,
Nicole Lako from Pittsburgh,
Clayton Leadbetter from
Shippenville, Doug Lyons from
Shippensburgh, Kenneth
McLauglin from Leechburg,
Brandon Mortimer from
Leechburg, and John Panella
from Aliquipa.

ta/ta. Malta Malta f
Student Abroad returns from Malta with fond memories
by Maria Murawski
Contibuting Writer
Have you ever thought of
studying abroad? I didrO really
either, and then I found myself
living on a wonderful island n
the middle of theMeditcrranean
called Malta.
Now I find myself back in
Clarion, Pa. However, I'm a
different person than I was
before I went to Malta. I have
begun to reilect on all these
changes, and I'm often amazed
that I now speak about my trip
to Malta in the past tense.
Time flew by, and entangled in
that time are whirlwinds of
emotions and experiences.
I feel blessed that I have trav-
eled to so many places already,
and I've realized that traveling
in college is actually much less
expensive and much more con-
venient than it will be after I
graduate and have to pay off
loans. Malta was a great place
to begin, and from there I went
to Holland, Spain, France, and
Italy!
Being in the relaxed culture of
Malta, I learned much about
myself and the "live by the
clock" mentality that most peo-
ple in America serve. I have
become much more flexible, and
I have learned to value the qual-
ity of my achievements rather
than the quantity of these.
Traveling allowed me to meet
not only the wonderful Maltese

people, but also people from
around the world. My new
compadres and I cultivated
dreams and began to focus on
what we really want to do with
our lives instead of concentrat-
ing so much on others expecta-
tions. I especially discovered
the importance of relationships,
and gained greater intimacy in
my most important relationship
with Jesus Christ.
The effects this experience
has had on my academic life are
extensive.
Going to Malta taught me that
getting an education is a choice,
we can do with it whatever we
want. It helped me to begin to
view my education holistically
and to give relevance to the
things that I have learned. I
have begun to formulate many
of my own theories about
humanity and life. The
largest amount of learning in
this experience was a result of
living in a culture that I was
unfamiliar with. It has given
me a more diversified and mul-
ticultural perspective of my edu-
cation.
I realize now what an asset
this is for approaching any kind
of career in our society and even
lor living in this world today.
What better way is there to
experience diversity than to
immerse oneself in a different
culture?
I encourage anyone who is
even remote 'y interested in
Malta or omer study abroad pro-
grams to check out the opportu-
nities that Clarion has to offer.
As students, we are fortunate to
have great international pro-
grams with people who are
ready to lead students to any-
where on the globe.
The experience will grow you
like you've never been grown
before, and that is why we're all
here, isn't it? If you truly have
no desire to study abroad, then I
challenge you to get to know
some of the international stu-
dents hereon campus. Those I
have met are wonderful, and
you'll be amazed at what you
can learn from each other!

Music Review
'Fear Factory' and
'System of a Down'
prove metal still lives
by James Gates
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Back in 1992, Fear Factory
went from utter obscurity to
prominent new wave metal lead-
ers with the release of their
debut, Soul Of A New Machine.
They followed their smashing
debut with a techno remix
album, Fear Is The Mindkiller.
Then came their first concept
album, 1995's crushing master-
piece, De manufacture. After
confusing fans about their future
musical direction by releasing
the electronica-heavy
Remanufacture in 1997, Fear
Factory is back with their best
album to date by far, Obsolete.
Long-time fans of Fear
Factory need not worry about
the new blend of sound on
Obsolete. The patented fero-
cious metal riffs of Dino
Clares and the frantic bass
playing of Christian Wolbers
and power-drumming of
Raymond Herrera are all still
there throughout. For a change,
they added bits and pieces of
other genres into the mix, such
as Goth, alternative, '80's rock,
and ominous keyboards and syn-
thesizers. They pull it all off
without missing a single beat,
remarkably.
Although the music rocks on
any level, singer Buron C. Bell
steals the show and raises the
disk to another level. Bell still
uses his patented growl on most
songs, but he has opened his
vocal style and sings more than
on past records. His lyrics, and
the whole album are based on a
concept written into the liner
notes that must be read before
listening to the disk.
The concept deals with the
hero "Edgecrusher," who lives
in the oppressed world of 2076
AD. He escapes from the prison
controlled by machines and tries
to lead a revolt to recover
humanities. His feelings, such
as hatred toward oppression, and
suicide from hopelessness are
told throughout the song,
"Obsolete." The nemesis,
"Smasher/Devourer" looms over
Edgecrusher's head throughout
and weakens the hero but a final
conflict never occurs. The main
conflict in the story occurs
between a crowd of protesters
and riot machines. The ring-
leader of the riot gives a speech
in "Hi-tech Hate" and burns
himself in "Freedom or Fire."
The story ends with
"Timelessness," which is eerily
dark. Bell's vocals and a key-
board ominously question our
humanity and our future and
close out the album on . a
thought-provoking level. On my
10 star scale, I give Fear
Factory a 9 for Soul Of A New
Machine.
System Of A Down hail from
the California hybrid scene.
playing with the likes of Korn,
the Deftones, and Limp Bizkit.
Like the aforementioned bands,
System of a Down mixes
numerous styles and genres of
music into a unique sound that is
all their own.
However, what separates them
from the pack is the exotic fla-
vor System Of A Down uses in
each of their songs on their self-
titled debut. Turkish singing
and carnival music make for an
overwhelming, if not disturbing
listen. Combine that with polka
rhythms and you have some of
the weirdest hardcore music
around.
Singer Serj Tankian switches
between hardcore screaming and
middle-eastern chanting as
quick as a light switch, but he
would help out the overall sound
if he turned off the chanting and
stick with the traditional
screaming.
The majority of the album is
good high octane metal, but the
numerous quirky breakdowns
can easily dissuade the listener
from continuing on. The best
and most powerful song on the
album is "War?" with the cho-
rus, "We will fight the
Heathens!" Another off-kilter
but remarkably likable song is
"Peephole" with its circus beat
falling away to a heavy chorus.
Those songs also show System
Of A Down's knack for multiple
time changes and rhythms. If
you can stand the "big-top"
sound and are open-minded to
over-the-top music, than maybe
this album is right for you. I
give System Of A Down a 6 1/2
out of ten for their self-titled
debut.

Campus Musical Event
Jazz Band soothes
Clarion with cool
rhythms
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Just when everybody thought
Clarion University couldn't host an
enjoyable concert. Clarion's Blue
and Gold Jazz Bands, directed by
Mr. Royce Hetrick, put on an impres-
sive show last Friday at the Marwick
Boyd Auditorium. Despite competi-
tion from the multicultural perfor-
mances being held at the Gemmel
Multipurpose room, the jazz bands
drew a sizable crowd for their show.
The Blue Band played first, starting
off with the fast-paced number
"Brown Baggin' It." Their set
showed a lot of diversity, shifting
from the soft and beautiful Count
Basie classic Iff Darlin" to "52
Pickup," which had the feel of a
1950's road trip.
The portion of the concert featuring
the Blue Band ended with a funky
rendition of "Superstar," an adapta-
tion of the main theme of the
Broadway play "Jesus Christ
Superstar."
After a brief intermission, the Gold
Band took the stage with a bang,
beginning their set with
"Alexander's Big Time Band."
The Gold Band's set had a softer
pace than that of the Blue Band,
especially during numbers such as
"Tears In Her Hyes," which seemed
like the soundtrack to a steamy night
at a cabana club.
The relaxed pace worked well to
the band's advantage, since it called
more attention to the band's soloists,
particulary during the song
"Caravan." Chris Davidson's
extremely impressive drum solo
recieved massive cheers, the loudest
any soloist recieved that night. After
his solo, Davidson seemed pleasent-
ly overwhelmed by the appreciation
he was shown by the crowd.
Finally, the Gold Band ended their
performance with "Moaning", an
original piece featuring a heavy sax
riff that surely kept playing in peo-
ple's minds long after the perfor-
mance ended. "Moaning" was the
high point of the evening, partly due
to strong solo work from Keith
Kuzmovich on bari saxaphone,
Steve Nawrocki on bass trombone,
and Paul Shevock on tenor saxa-
phone.
Even though most of the jazz heard
on modem radio is of the soulless,
watered-down variety, Clarion's
Blue and Gold Jazz Bands proved
that cool jazz hasn't gone away. It's
alive, well.... and waiting for the right
oppertunity to tear Kenny G a new
one.

Assistant Sports Editor
To open what promises to be
one of the most exciting seasons
in Clarion men's basketball histo-
ry, the team is hosting what may
be its most exciting tournament
ever. And with Salem-Teikyo
(W.Va.), the No. 1 team in the
nation for a good part of last sea-
son, among the visiting teams for
the Subway/KFC Classic, the
Golden Eagles should get an early
barometer of how good they real-
ly are.
"This may be the best group of
teams that we've ever had," said
Clarion head coach Ron Righter,
whose next victory will make him
the school's all-time winningest
coach surpassing Joe DeGregorio.
"I think I'm more ready than the
players are."
In addition to Salem-Teikyo,
who Clarion could meet in the
championship contest Saturday
night, the tournament will also
welcome Central Washington and
Northwood (Mich.), Clarion's
first opponent Friday night at 8
p.m.
Salem-Teikyo, which competes
in the highly competitive West
Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (WVIAC), is ranked
as high as fourth by one of the
several pre-season Division II
polls. Last season, the Fighting
Tigers posted a 28-3 record and
reached the NCAA Division II
tournament before losing to
WVIAC rival Fairmont State by
one point in the East Regional
finals.
Like Clarion, Salem-Teikyo was
picked to finish second in its
league by its conference coaches
this preseason. The Tigers'
strength is its frontcourt, which is
led by returning starters
Demetrius Van Syckle, Donald
Harrison, and Leroy Blyden. All
three averaged 10 points per game
last season, while Harrison and
Blyden each pulled down over
seven rebounds per contest.
Salem's backcourt does not
return a single player from last
year's team. The team had been
counting on point guard Kenyatta
Niles, but he was declared acade-
mically ineligible for the season.
That leaves the ball handling to
four junior-college transfers,
Damond McCullough, Frank
McQueen, Mike Thompson, and
Amilcar Butler.
But before Clarion can get a
potential shot at Salem-Teikyo,
they must first take down
Northwood University Friday
night. The Timberwolves, who
compete in the Great Lakes
Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (GLIAC) are coming
off an 18-8 season and also fea-
ture a strong inside presence led
by senior center Jeremy Piggott
and junior Sam Jones.
Piggott averaged 19 points per
contest while grabbing almost 10
rebounds a game last year.
Meanwhile, Jones was one of the
most prolific shot-blockers in the
GLIAC, swatting three shots per
outing.
As for the tournament's fourth
team, Central Washington, they
must deal with the travel factor.
The former NAIA powerhouse,
which just moved to NCAA
Division II, can only hope that jet
lag won't carry over into their
first-round matchup with Salem-
Teikyo.
Of course, Clarion will be led by
their senior tri-captains Marvin
Wells, Lormont Sharp, and Brad
Wright. Wells, who averaged 14
points and 10.5 rebounds per
game last season, and Sharp, who
put up 13 points per contest
despite being a part-time starter,
could both be on the verge of big
things this season. Meanwhile,
continued on page 20
Clarion
Clarion fans have seen the
Golden Eagles rise from the PSAC
pack to become one of the confer-
ence's elite teams. This year, the
Golden Eagles hope to make an
impact not only on the PSAC, but
also on the national scene. The
Subway/KFC Classic is Clarion's
first chance to do so.
The Golden Eagles are led by the
senior trio of forward Marvin Wells,
and guards Brad Wright and
Lormont Sharp. Division I transfers
Sean Smith and Kirk Webber will
make their debuts for Clarion.
Northwood
Clarion's first-round opponent,
Northwood is a battle-tested team
from the Great Lakes
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
The Timberwolves were 18-8 a
year ago and feature the imposing
inside duo of Jeremy Piggott and
Sam Jones.
Piggott averaged 19 points and 10
rebounds per game, while Jones
blocked three shots per contest.
Clarion will have to be in mid-sea-
son form in order to get past
Northwood.
Salem-Teikyo
A perennial national title con-
tender, the Fighting Tigers look to
be the team to beat at this year's
event. Salem-Teikyo is ranked in
every national publication this sea-
son, including a No. 2 spot in the
Street & Smith's pre-season edi-
tion.
The Tigers advanced to the Final
Four two seasons ago and reached
the Eastern Regional finals last
season. Salem-Teikyo hopes to
start another run at the national title
at Clarion this weekend.
Central Washington
The Wildcats will be making two
trips this week. Not only are they
journeying across the United
States for this weekend's tourna-
ment, but they will also be making
the jump from NAIA to NCAA
Division II status.
However, while CW is the new kid
on the block in terms of classifica-
tion, winning is nothing new to
them. Last year, the Wildcats
advanced to the NAIA Elite Eight.
Still, baptism by fire awaits the
Wildcats, as they test Salem-
Teikyo in the first round.

Schedule upgrade will benefit Eagles, fans
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
Take a quick look at the Clarion
men's basketball team's 1998-99
schedule.
You won't find Valley Forge
Christian, Washington Bible, or
Baptist Bible, teams the Golden
Eagles routed last season by a
combined 311-125.
Although excellent ambassadors
of goodwill in sports, it would
have taken divine intervention for
those teams to hang with the
Eagles.
Now take a closer look at the
schedule. Beginning with the
high-powered Subway/KFC
Classic, the Golden Eagles will
test a number of quality Division
II teams. Not only is the PSAC-
West competitive once again, but
Clarion will also face Mansfield
and West Chester twice.
Mansfield was the PSAC titlist
two years ago, and West Chester
made its way to the finals of the
PSAC tournament a year ago.
Add strong independent teams
like Pitt-Johnstown, and Clarion
fans will be treated to some high-
caliber Division II basketball this
season.

NCAA Division II games.
Fortunately or unfortunately,
however you want to look at it,
the teams that are going to be
playing the PSAC- West teams are
top-flight teams. If we can hang
in there and dump a couple teams
that maybe we're not supposed to
and beat the teams we're sup-
posed to, maybe it will be worth-
while."
In the past two seasons, the
Eagles have shot to strong records
at the beginning of the season.
The Eagles would hold records
like last year's 14-2, yet they
would receive no respect from the
pollsters, who cited strength of
schedule for keeping Clarion out
of the rankings. This year, how-
ever, look for the Eagles to draw
more respect in the national and
regional polls if they are to jump
to a quick start.
"I think there's no doubt about
mat," said Righter. "People don't
realize how tough a game it is
when you're playing an NAIA
school like Daemen or Point Park.
On a given night, those teams can
beat you and beat you handily —
but it doesn't help you in the rank-
ings.
"If you can beat a team from the
PSAC-East and
upset a Salem-
Teikyo, it puts you
right in the thick of
things. Each game we're
playing for something."
While the Eagles and most of
the PSAC-West teams have
upgraded their schedules, there
are a few games remaining on
teams' schedules that look like
obvious mismatches. Here are a
couple of doozies:
• Dec. I/: California vs. Thiel
— The PSAC's top program of
the '90s meets the Division III
Tomcats, whose school enrolls
900 students. This one could get
ugly.
• Dec. 7: IUP vs. Penn State-
Altoona — Yes, apparently there
is such a place as Penn State-
Altoona.
However, no one can fault the
Slippery Rock Rockets for a weak
schedule this season. The
Rockets have a pair of Division I
teams to contend with in the early
Brad Wright
season — Youngstown State and
Niagara. Niagara, incidentally,
plays UMass the game before it
faces the Rockets.
Clarion picked second in PSAC-West poll
By Jason Dambach
Assistant Sports Editor
PSAC coaches tabbed Clarion
with its highest preseason ranking
in the Ron Righter era by picking
the Eagles to finish second in the
PSAC-West. But after being
picked fourth in the pre-season
poll in each of the last two sea-
sons, Righter knows that rankings
don't mean anything.
"I don't think there's any added
pressure to be number two," said
Righter. "It's more of a compli-
ment."
California, which won the
PSAC-West regular-season title
last season was picked first by the
coaches. The Vulcans return three
starters from their 23-5 outfit of a
year ago, including first-team All-
PSAC performers Vincent
Graham and Eric Watson.
IUP, which Was picked third,
also returns three starters, but one
of them is not Rodney Ilorton,
whose 23-point, 8-rebound aver-
age was good enough to be named
PSAC-West Player of the Year
and also earned second-team All-
America honors.
Perhaps no team was hit harder
in the offseason than Edinboro,
which is picked fourth. The
Fighting Scots could have
returned four starters, but due to
various off-the-court issues, they
only return point guard Andy
Kaufman, the nation's third-lead-
ing assist man last season at eight
per contest.
Rounding out the coaches' poll
arc Shippensburg, Slippery Rock,
and Lock Haven.
PSAC-West play begins Jan. 7.
Subway/KFC Classic tips off Friday night
continued from page 19
Wright, a ball-hawking defender
who can score when he wants, is
the backbone of Righter 's com-
mitment to defense.
"I've always been an offensive
coach," said Righter. "But 1
learned that in order to be suc-
cessful you really have to stress
defense."
In fact, in 15 of Clarion's 20
wins a year ago, the team held its
opponents to under 70 points, a
number that many teams may be
hard-pressed to surpass this com-
ing season.
And with three solid teams vis-
iting Clarion this weekend, the
Golden Eagles and their fans
won't have to wait long to find
out what style of play will trans-
late into victories

Eagles running and gunning for playoffs
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
For students new to Clarion who
may not be familiar with the suc-
cess head women's basketball
coach Gie Parsons has had in nine
years at CUP, here are a few facts
to consider:
• The Eagles won five straight
PSAC-West titles between 1991-
95, winning the PSAC title in
1991, '92, and '93.
• Clarion advanced to the NCAA
Sweet 16 in '92 and '93 and the
Elite Eight in '91 and '94, win-
ning the East Region in '92 and
'94.
• Her record at Clarion is 156-
101.
However, as with anything else,
basketball success goes in cycles.
The Eagles have been on the
down side of the cycle the last
three seasons, qualifying for the
playoffs just once. Fielding a
youthful team last season, the
Golden Eagles were 6-22, losing
eight games by seven points or
less.
With an experienced nucleus
returning this season, the Eagles
don't expect to duplicate last sea-
son's performance.
"We were a little slim in num-
bers last year and weren't deep in
every spot," said Parsons. "We
couldn't press and still have
enough energy to run the offense.

ing circumstances.
Of last year's starting five,
Alison Campbell returns at for-
ward, while Bobbi Schneider and
Erica Johnson return to the back-
court.
Campbell is a three-yeai starter
and leading inside player on the
team. She had team highs in
rebounds (228 for 8.1 rpg), steals
(41), and free throw percentage
(75.9 percent). Campbell was
third on the team in scoring with
10.4 per contest.
Schneider, a strong outside
shooter, is a three-year starter and
multi-dimensional player. She led
in assists with 85 and was the sec-
ond-leading scorer at 11.1.
Johnson, an extremely quick
guard, led Clarion in scoring at
11.5 ppg and three-pointers made
with 55 in 152 attempts (36%).
Joining the starting lineup in the
frontcourt is junior Krista
Archiable. Archiable added 6.2
points per game and 6.2 rebounds
per contest from the inside along
with 46 assists.
After playing without a true
point guard last year, Clarion wel-
comes transfer Miesha Henry
from Bakersfield, Calif.
Clarion won't be as tall as most
of the PSAC competition, but
Parsons expects the Eagles to
compensate in other areas.
"A team can stop individual
stars," said Parsons. "We're 10-
deep. If there's any weakness,
we're going to capitalize. If you
outsmart them, you're going to
win.'
Parsons also expects Clarion to
return to the pressing, up-tempo
game Clarion fans have grown
accustomed to.
"The up-tempo game is fun to
coach, it's fun to play, and it's fun
to spectate," said Parsons.
The Eagles will be playing what
Parsons calls a "challenging yet
realistic" schedule.
The 1998-99 season gels under-
way Friday evening in the Clarion
Classic. Clarion will test
Westminster in the first round,
while Bloomsburg, the PSAC-
East lop pick, and Mercyhurst of
the GLIAC tangle in the opener.
"It's certainly going to be a chal-
lenging tournament," said
Parsons. "We'll take it one game
at a time."
NOTE: Carlita Jones, who was
an Ail-American with the Eagles
in the early '90s, received a tryout
with the Utah Starzz of the
WNBA. Despite being cut in
Utah, Jones is expected to get try-
outs with other WNBA squads.

lake a quick look al the Clarion
men's basketball team's 1098-90
schedule.
You won't find Valley Forge
Christian, Washington Bible, or
Baptist Bible, teams the Golden
Eagles routed last season by a
combined 311-125.
Although excellent ambassadors
of goodwill in sports, it would
have taken divine intervention for
those teams to hang with the
Eagles.
Now take a closer look at the
schedule. Beginning with the
high-powered Subway/KFC
Classic, the Golden Eagles will
test a number of quality Division
II teams. Not only is the PSAC-
West competitive once again, but
Clarion will also face Mansfield
and West Chester twice.
Mansfield was the PS AC titlist
two years ago. and West Chester
made its way to the finals of the
PSAC tournament a year ago.
Add strong independent teams
like Pitt-Johnstown, and Clarion
fans will be treated to some high-
caliber Division II basketball this
season.

NCAA Division II games.
Fortunately or unfortunately,
however you want to look at it,
the teams that are going to be
playing the PS AC- West teams are
top-flight teams. It we can hang
in there and dump a couple teams
that maybe we're not supposed to
and beat the teams we're sup-
posed to, mayhe it will he worm-
while."
In the past two seasons, the
Eagles have shot to strong records
at the beginning of the season.
The Eagles would hold records
like last year's 14-2, yet they
would receive no respect from the
pollsters, who cited strength of
schedule for keeping Clarion out
of the rankings. This year, how-
ever, look for the Eagles to draw
more respect in the national and
regional polls if they are to jump
to a quick start.
"I think there's no doubt about
that," said Righter. "People don't
realize how tough a game it is
when you're playing an NAIA
school like Daemen or Point Park.
On a given night, those teams can
beat you and beat you handily —
but it doesn't help you in the rank-
ings.
"If you can beat a team from the
PS AC 1 - East
upset a
Teikyo, it
right
and
Salem -
puts you
in the thick of
things. Each game we're
playing for something."
While the Eagles and most of
the PS AC- West teams have
upgraded their schedules, there
are a few games remaining on
teams' schedules that look like
obvious mismatches. Here are a
couple of doozies:
• Dec. 17: California vs. Thiel
— The PSAC's top program of
the '90s meets the Division III
Tomcats, whose school enrolls
900 students. This one could get
ugly.
• Dec. 7: IUP vs. Penn State -
Altoona — Yes, apparently there
is such a place as Penn State-
Altoona.
However, no one can fault the
Slippery Rock Rockets for a weak
schedule this season. The
Rockets have a pair of Division I
teams to contend with in the early
Brad Wright
season — Youngstown State and
Niagara. Niagara, incidentally,
plays UMass the game before it
faces the Rockets.
Clarion picked second in PSAC-West poll
By Jason Dambach
Assistant Sports Editor
PSAC coaches tabbed Clarion
with its highest preseason ranking
in the Ron Righter era by picking
the Eagles to finish second in the
PSAC-West. But after being
picked fourth in the pre-season
poll in each of the last two sea-
sons, Righter knows that rankings
don't mean anything.
"I don'l think there's any added
pressure to be number two." said
Righter. "It's more of a compli-
ment."
California, which won the
PSAC-West regular-season title
last season was picked first by the
coaches. The Vulcans return three
starters from their 23-5 outfit of a
year ago, including first-team All-
PS AC performers Vincent
Graham and Eric Watson.
IUP, which was picked third,
also returns three starters, but one
of them is not Rodney Horton,
whose 23-point, 8-rcbound aver-
age was gcxxl enough to he named
PSAC-West Player of the Year
and also earned second-team All-
America honors.
Perhaps no team was hit harder
in the offseason than Edinboro.
which is picked fourth. The
Fighting Scots could have
returned four starters, but due to
various off-the-court issues, they
only return point guard Andy
Kaufman, the nation's third-lead-
ing assist man last season at eight
per contest.
Rounding out the coaches' poll
are Shippensburg, Slippery Rock,
and Lock Haven.
PSAC-West play begins Jan. 7.
Subway/KFC Classic tips off Friday night
continued from page 19
Wright, a ball-hawking defender
who can score when he wants, is
the backbone of Righter's com-
mitment to defense.
"I've always been an offensive
coach." said Righter. "But I
learned that in order to be suc-
cessful you really have to stress
defense."
In fact, in 15 of Clarion's 20
wins a year ago, die learn held its
opponents to under 70 points, a
number that many teams may be
hard-pressed to surpass this com-
ing season.
And with three solid teams vis-
iting Clarion this weekend, the
(iolden Eagles and their fans
won't have to wait long to find
out what style of play will trans-
late into victories.

Eagles running and gunning for playoffs
By Nathan Kohle
Sports Editor
For students new to Clarion who
may not be familiar with the suc-
cess head women's basketball
coach Gie Parsons has had in nine
years at CUP, here are a few facts
to consider:
• The Eagles won five straight
PSAC-West titles between 1991-
95. winning the PSAC title in
1991, '92, and '93.
• Clarion advanced to the NCAA
Sweet 16 in '92 and '93 and die
Elite Eight in '91 and '94, win-
ning the East Region in '92 and
'94.
• Her record at Clarion is 1 56-
101.
However, as with anything else,
basketball success goes in cycles.
The Eagles have been on the
down side of the cycle the last
three seasons, qualifying for the
playoffs just once. Fielding a
youthful team last season, the
Golden Eagles were 6-22, losing
eight games by seven points or
less.
With an experienced nucleus
returning this season, the Eagles
don't expect to duplicate last sea-
son's performance.
"We were a little slim in num-
bers last year and weren't deep in
every spot," said Parsons. "We
couldn't press and still have
enough energy to run the offense.
It put us into a lot of compromis-

ing circumstances.
Of last year's starting five.
Alison Campbell returns at for-
ward, while Bobbi Schneider and
Erica Johnson return to the back-
court.
Campbell is a three-yeai starter
and leading inside player on the
team. She had team highs in
rebounds (228 for 8.1 rpg), steals
(41), and free throw percentage
(75.9 percent). Campbell was
third on the team in scoring with
10.4 per contest.
Schneider, a strong outside
shooter, is a three-year starter and
multi-dimensional player. She led
in assists with 85 and was the sec-
ond-leading scorer at 11.1.
Johnson, an extremely quick
guard, led Clarion in scoring at
1 1 .5 ppg and three-pointers made
with 55 in 152 attempts (36<7r).
Joining (he starting lineup in the
frontcourt is junior Krista
Archiable. Archiable added 6.2
points per game and 6.2 rebounds
per contest from the inside along
with 46 assists.
After playing without a true
point guard last year, Clarion wel-
comes transfer Miesha Henry
from Bakersfield, Calif.
Clarion won't be as tall as most
of the PSAC competition, but
Parsons expects the Eagles to
compensate in other areas.
"A team can stop individual
stars," said Parsons. "We're 10-
deep. If there's any weakness,
we're going to capitalize. If you
outsmart them, you're going to
win.'
Parsons also expects Clarion to
return to the pressing, up-tempo
game Clarion fans have grown
accustomed to.
"The up-tempo game is fun to
coach, it's fun to play, and it's fun
to spectate," said Parsons.
The Eagles will be playing what
Parsons calls a "challenging yet
realistic" schedule.

First-half explosion pushes
Lock Haven past Clarion Fox's Brown "enthused"
about coming to Clarion
Where: Memorial Stadium, Clarion, Pa.
When: Saturday, 1 p.m.
Radio: C 93 (92.7)
The Golden Eagles will close the 1998 season Saturday when PSAC-
West rival California invades Memorial Stadium for a 1 p.m. tilt.
Although the playoffs and the PSAC-West title will not happen for the
Eagles this season, a win Saturday would be for pride. Clarion, current-
ly 3-7 overall, needs a win to better last season's mark of 3-7. Perhaps
more importantly, the Eagles need a win to avoid a last-place tie with the
Vulcans in the PSAC-West. The Vulcans stand at 3-7 overall and 0-5 in
the PSAC-West. Also, the Vulcans dished out a 30-0 beating on the
Eagles last season in California.
Much like Clarion, the Vulcans started the season with promise, win-
ning three of their first seven games. However, the Vulcans do not pos-
sess what one would call a "quality win," registering victories over
Mansfield, Cheyney, and Fairmont State. Lock Haven, which defeated
Clarion 35-28 last week, downed the Vulcans 28-14 earlier in the season.
Last week, California fell to Shippensburg, 52-12.
For the season, California is scoring 15.8 points per game while allow-
ing 26.7. Clarion is putting 21.9 points on the board each contest while
permitting 34.1. Also, the Golden Eagles are feeling the effects of an
injury-plagued secondary and a four-game losing streak. Although the
Vulcans are 0-5 in the confernce the Eagles will have to be focused to
break out of their slump and end the season on a high note.
This Saturday's contest will be Senior Day, as Clarion fans will have
their final opportunity to see Clarion's senioyclass in action.
'Preview Compiled by Sports Editor Nathan Koble
By Nathan Koble

Lock Haven jumped to a 28-0
halftime lead and held on for a 35-
28 win over Clarion in PSAC-
West play Saturday at LHU.
The Bald Eagles moved to 4-6
overall and 2-3 in the PSAC-
West, while Clarion fell to 3-7 and
1-4. It was Lock Haven's second
win over Clarion in as many
years.
Lock Haven found the score-
board first following an intercep-
tion by Jermaine Ballard on the
Clarion 49. The Bald Eagles
launched a five-play drive,
capped by an 11 -yard jaunt by
Jamie Allen.
Lock Haven took over its next
possession on its own 3, where it
marched 97 yards to paydirt.
Allen again put the finishing
touchs on the drive, scoring on a
2-yard plunge to put the hosts
ahead 14-0.
Clarion then received a favor-
able break that would result in a
bad break.
Lock Haven's Chad Koleno,
punting from his own 11, shanked
a punt out of bounds at the 25.
Clarion took over but was unable
to move the ball, settling for a 47-
yard field goal attempt. However,
Frank VanWert's attempt was
blocked and returned 70 yards for
another LHU touchdown. The
extra point would fail, but the
Bald Eagles held a commanding
20-0 lead less than five minutes
into the second period.
The hosts would then tack on a
touchdown and a two-point con-
version for a 28-0 halftime bulge.
The Golden Eagles found the
end zone with 9:57 remaining in
the third quarter after linebacker
Ryan Presutti set CUP up on the
Lock Haven 3 by pouncing on a
fumble. Glenn Allen then
punched in to put Clarion on the
board at 28-7.
Clarion cut the lead in half less
then five minutes later when quar-
terback Chris Weibel capped a 13-
play, 78-yard drive with a two-
yard score.
Then, at the 9:15 mark of the
fourth quarter, Weibel found wide
receiver Alvin Slaughter for a 35-
yard strike, cutting the gap to 28-
21.
Lock Haven increased the bulge
to 35-21 with a 3-1-yard touch-
down reception by Jeremy
Burkettwith 1:34.
However, Clarion had one more
surge left. Weibel connected with
Slaughter for 51 -yard touchdown
with 1:06 left to pull within a
touchdown. Clarion then recov-
ered an on-side kick and advanced
to the LHU 5. But on Clarion's
last play, Slaughter was slopped
on an inside screen pass, as the
Bald Eagles preserved the win.
Slaughter had another big-num-
ber game, catching 10 passes for
168 yards and a pair of touch-
downs.
The Golden Eagles will look to
end the season with a win against
California Saturday in a 1 p.m.
contest at Memorial Stadium.

Seats still remain for
Wednesday's Fifth Annual Social
Equity Banquet, which will fea-
ture FOX NFL Sunday's James
Brown.
Brown's nephew, Clarion stu-
dent John Brown, who is the
director of the Social Equity
Committee for Clarion
University's Student Senate, says
his uncle is looking forward to
making the trip to Clarion. .
"He's very enthused about com-
ing," said the younger Brown.
"He wants to help put Clarion on
the map and get more people
involved here at Clarion."
Brown, a graduate of Harvard
and a former NBA player with the
Atlanta Hawks, will speak of
preparing today for a better
tomorrow. Clarion's Brown says
his uncle is an excellent example
of doing just that.
"Growing up in Washington,
D.C., and as a minority, he had to
surpass a lot of hurdles," said
Brown. "He was always watch-
ing his Ps and Qs. He always told
me to make sure my hair was
brushed and that my clothes were
neat because your first chance to
make a first impression is your
last chance. He helped make me
strong. He's very enthusiastic
about Christ."
Clarion's Brown expects those
in attendance at Wednesday's
banquet to be treated to a memo-
rable evening.
"Even though he's on television,
his head isn't in the clouds at all,"
said Brown. "He's very easy to
talk to, and he relates to people
very well."
The banquet will be Wednesday
at 7 p.m. and is free of charge.
Anyone interested in attending
the event must RSVP by Monday
by calling the Clarion University
Student Senate office at 226-
2318.

A total of 400 participants ran
through a frigid morning at the
NCAA Regional cross country
championship held Saturday at
Slippery Rock University.

10,000-meter race was won by
Edinboro's Yimin Wu (32:02).
Amy Perry, also from Edinboro,
finished first for the women's
6,000 meters with a time of 22:25.
Clarion's Eagles left their mark

best race ever at the regional level.
The men finished 11th out of 28
teams and the women finished
seventh out of 29 teams.
Ean King concluded his first sea-

Eagles swim past Gators
Bedford sets pool record
By Lori Matachak
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Golden Eagles' men's and
women's swimming and diving
teams pocketed another victory
over Allegheny last week.
The men's team was victorious
by a 137-101 count, while the
women brought home a 150-88
win.
Achieving first place for the
men's team was the 400 medley
relay team of Aaron Ulishney, Jon
Rohrbach, Doug Cornish, and
John Strelecki at 3:42.99.
Dan Pierce took top honors in
the 200 freestyle at 1:50.94.
In the 50 freestyle, John
Smithson touched the wall first
with a time of 27.37, while
Cornish was first in the 200 indi-
vidual medley at 2:05.24.
Ulishney won his second event
in the 200 fly at 2:07.01, and Joe
Estlack was first in the 200 back-
stroke.
For the women, the 400 medley
unit of Megan Tracy, Nikki
DiLoreto, Kelly Horner, and
Shannon Cattoni was first with a
time of 4:08.00.
Caltoni picked up a pair of firsts
in the 50 freestyle (25.51) and the
100 freestyle (55.23).
Tracy was the top finisher in the
200 backstroke at 2:16.74, while
Sarah Yocum won the 500
freestyle.
"For this time of year, we were
pleased by the performances by
our swimmers," said coach Mark
VanDyke.
In diving for the men, Ken
Bedford set a new pool record on
the 3-meter board (348.974),
beating out Mike Zucca's record
that was set in 1978. Zucca is a
Hall-of-Fame member here at the
University.
"It is a great accomplishment
that Ken beat a record that was set
20 years ago," said coach Dave
Hrovat.
For the women, Julie Murray
took first place in the 1 -meter
board (256.80), while Wendy
Cassler was tops in 3-meter com-
petition at 248.35.
Two meets into the season,
Murray, Bedford, and Steph
Sutton have qualified for the
national meet.
The men's and women's swim-
ming and diving teams are next in
action Nov. 20 at Kenyon in
Canton, Ohio. Kenyon is the
defending national champion in
Division III for both men and
women.
In December, Clarion will be

Enrollment rises at most SSHE schools
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
Clarion University's overall
enrollment saw a 1.38 percent
decrease for the Fall 1998 semes-
ter.
According to figures released
by the State System of Higher
Education (SSHE), CU's total
enrollment stands at 5,866 stu-
dents. This is compared with the
5,948 students enrolled during
Fall 1997.
Ten of the 14 SSHE schools
saw an increase this fall over a
year ago, while Clarion was one
of four who experienced slight
declines.
Earlier this semester, figures
showed a small enrollment
increase at Clarion University's
main campus, but declines in
enrollment at other CU sites are
beingj}lamed for the lower num-
bers. Those other sites include
Venango Campus in Oil City,
West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh
and a site at Clearfield.
Currently, 95,052 students are
enrolled in State System classes
this fall, showing an increase of
0.86 percent. This is the first

time since 1993 that SSHE
enrollment has risen above
95,000.
Several factors are being listed
as contributing to the overall
enrollment rise. They include an
increased number of high school
graduates,, new programs being
offered by the universities,
improved retention rates, expan-
sion of off-campus sites and an
increase in the number of non-
traditional students taking class-
es.
According to the SSHE, their
new out-of-state tuition policy,
which they say enabled several
of the schools to reduce their
non-resident tuition to help them

Call Executive Board visits Kansas City
by Kristen Davis
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief
The Clarion Call Executive
Board members recently attend-
ed the 77th National ACP/CMA
Convention in Kahsas City,
Missouri.
The convention allowed the
students to attend sessions on
how to better their college
newspaper.
This year, the keynote speak-
er was Lynn Staley, who is the
managing editor for
Newsweek.
Staley spoke on the impor-
tance of teamwork and her
responsibilities at Newsweek,
including the redesign of the
entire paper under her direction.
The staff attended sessions
ranging from roundtables on
dealing with difficult staffers to
the art of copy editing.
Danielle Hock, Advertising
Sales Manager, said, " I was
able to attend sessions that did-
n't necessarily have to pertain to
ad sales, and still received bene-
ficial information from them."
In addition to attending ses-
sions, the students were present-
ed with information from com-
panies offering services and
products for college media pro-
grams.
The products included first-aid
kits, candy, key chains, and free
viewing passes to movies such as
"I Still Know What You Did Last
Summer" and "Very Bad
Things." »
"This was my first convention
and I wasn't sure what to
expect," said Matt Nickolas,
Circulation Manager.
"I thought that the convention
may get a little dull, but it ended
up being a very valuable experi-
ence."
The executive board stayed in
the Hyatt Regency Hotel Suites.
Jnel Ritzier, Copy and Design
Editor, commented, "The hotel
was beautiful. There was a huge
mall complex attached to it, and
it made for a very convenient
stay."
A bus was also offered every
night to Westport, Missouri's hot
spot, where different eateries and
taverns were located.
"Between sessions and the
night life, we never had a
moment to spare," Ritzier added.
The Clarion Call Executive
Board plans on attending the
78th Convention to be held in
New York City in the spring.
The Call would like to wish everyone a
Happv Thanksgiving Break!

"Courtney's
boyfriend sat in the
chair, saying nothing
while her son
cried."
Knstie Palcie
"A Christmas Presence"
Many of us have had one bad
semester where classes were dif-
ficult and money was tight. Life
could really have its ups and
downs in college. My friends and
I would complain if we couldn't
go shopping for clothes when we
wanted to and then worry about
finding a job over Christmas
Break. Luckily, with the help of
my parents, I found a good job
over break, and I even decided on
a new major.
None of this mattered to me
after I visited a friend of mine
over the break. I've known
Courtney ever since the first
grade, and she'd been trying to
reach me for months, but I had
been away at school. It excited
me to call her since I hadn't seen
her in a year and a half. She had
a baby girl back then, and I was
looking forward to seeing how
she had grown. So I decided to
call her and plan a day with her.
She gave me Ihe directions to her
apartment. She even told me that
she had a new baby boy, and she
couldn't wait for me to see him.
I bought her children toys and
drove nervously through the run-
down town. I was nervous about
seeing the kind of place she was
raising her children. Silently, I
said a few prayers.
I wasn't surprised. when a huge
and grizzly man answered the
door. I assumed he was her
boyfriend and the lather of her
two children. I walked up the
steps as my friend greeted me. 1
pushed aside a huge blanket
hanging over the steps to keep
the cold from the front door.
My friend Courtney greeted me
at the top of the steps looking
pale, thin and poor. Immediately,
I gave her a hug. She looked tired
and worn out. She was my age,
and yet she looked so desperate.
Memories of she and I playing
Barbies in my yard as children
haunted me as I entered a living
room which contained a bare
Christmas tree and little furni-
ture.
There lay her new son. He had
a huge feeding tube from a pole
leading to his belly button. He
was born seven months ago and
was only the size of a two-month
old baby. He had been born pre-
mature, and had had a twin that
had died at birth. Courtney's
boyfriend sat in the chair saying
nothing while her son cried. I
could tell that he wasn't a caring
father.
Courtney then escorted me
upstairs to her daughter Lauren's
room. Ignoring all of the clutter
lying around the messy apart-
ment, I walked up the decrepit
stairs to see her. At this point, I
was feeling really scared. I heard
little mumbles from the girl and
made my way to the paint
stripped crib. There Lauren sat
with the biggest blue eyes and
darkest hair looking scared that a
stranger was there. She was cov-
ered in her own vomit and started
to cry.
Courtney picked her up and
said that she must have eaten
something bad. She. carried her
down the steps and cleaned her
off. I walked around upstairs to
check out the environment. The
bedrooms didn't even dressers,
drawers, or curtains for that mat-
ter. Then I walked downstairs.
There were old kerosene heaters
with no child-proof guards.
This was it. This was poverty
like I've never confronted face to
face before in my life. This was
one of my best childhood friends
who came from a decent neigh-
borhood, and she was now moth-
ering two children. Lauren
walked over to me wondering
what was in the bag I had
brought. I handed her the toys I
had bought her, and she ran over
to her mother excitedly. Then I
pulled out a book and she sat on
my lap. She really wanted me to

Editorial
"I try to look at the
bigger things. "
Mike Chapaloney, Managing Editor
As the semester rolls to a close
we come upon the holiday of
Thanksgiving. Many say that
Thanksgiving has lost its original
meaning. It was established by
the Europeans, who were new-
comers to the continent, to show
their appreciation to the native
Americans who made their sur-
vival possible.
I have to say that Thanksgiving
has never really been one of the
most important holidays for me,
especially not being a lover of
turkey. But, Thanksgiving makes
me think about something that I
try to do every day and that is to
be thankful for what I have and to
appreciate life. I try to appreciate
this life because it is the only one
that I will ever have.
You are probably thinking that
you are in store for another edito-
rial that will ask you love every
moment of every hour of every
day. Well, frankly let's be honest,
every moment of life just isn't
that great. If I get a D or F on a
test, I'm not going to be singing
glories from the mountain tops. I
try to look at the bigger things.
How many of us are guilty of
walking around campus frequent-
ly complaining about the
University, food service, the Rec
Center, or some class. I'll admit
that I am guilty of this also, but I
have realized that in my opinion,
I should just be glad to be here.
How many people in the world
would sacrifice anything to have
this opportunity to improve
themselves. There are probably
hundreds of students a year who
just fall short of being admitted;
whether it be financially or acad-
emically. We should be thankful
to have this valuable opportunity.
Americans especially are driven
by the allmighty dollar. Our need
to have money is insatiable - not
even Bill Gates has given up
making money. I understand that
at times a lack of money can

read her a story. Courtney had
quit school in ninth grade
because she didn't feel reading
and education was important.
Lauren began to vomit again.
Why was she so sick? Was it lead
poisoning or bad food or a simple
virus? I had to get out of there.
Not to be selfish, but emotional-
ly, I wasn't able to take it any-
more. Before I left, I asked
Courtney to take Lauren to the
doctor and also to child-proof her
house.
It was a long ride home.
Lauren's face and the messy
apartment stuck in my mind. But
I wasn't leaving for good. There
was something I was going to do,
and I ran to my father sobbing
with anger and sympathy for my
friend and her children.
Tears filled his eyes as I told
him what I saw. He told me that
he would help out. So we walked
out to our garage and cleaned off
two dressers. Then I tore through
my closet, throwing clothes into a
bag. I wanted to give her every
material thing I owned. None of
it mattered to me. I called
Courtney and told her I thought
she might be able to use the fur-
niture.
Courtney and her children were
my only thoughts that day. The
phone rang and it was Courtney
thanking me for all I had done. It
wasn't a thank you that I had
been looking for. I just requested
that she get some assistance.
This is a cycle of poverty, and it
was a learning experience for me.
I have learned not to complain
about material things, traveling,
or deciding on the right major
anymore. I thank God for my life,
my family and my education.
This was the motivation I needed
to stay in school for my sake and
my future children.
Hopefully, life will somehow
work out for Courtney. She sure
deserves it. I am now the god-
mother of her new son, and I plan
to set a good example for her
children. Her life could be worse,
but I wouldn't want that for my
worst enemy.

cause us to be deprived of certain
wants and needs. It is perfectly
OK to be concerned when our
family and friends don't have the
things that they need because
they can't afford it. But, I try not
to dwell on the menial things. I
enjoy having nice clothes and
shoes and being seen in a nice
car, but in the grand scheme of
life a month or five years down
the road these things won't mat-
ter.
I don't want to be remembered
for what I looked like, the car that
I drove or the house that I lived
in.
I try to look at the bigger things.
Every day there is probably one
of our family members or one of
our friends who upsets us. They
have either said or done some-
thing that dipleases us.
Some of us may think, "Oh,
I'll deal with them tomorrow," or
'They will get over it." I'm not
saying that we should just shrug
off any problem that we have,
because people do hurt us. What
I want you to realize is that we
don't always have tomorrow.
My mother died less than a
week before I returned to school
this semester after losing a life
long battle with heart disease.
She didn't have another day.
After watching her suffering for
the last seven weeks of her life in
a hospital and still managing to
smile, it was a clear sign to me
that I should try fo appreciate the
life that I had.
So when you feel that your life
isn't exactly going the way that
you would like it to, stop a
minute and consider all of the
wonderful things that you have to
be thankful for.

Dear Editor,
Many of you may have watched
the November 10 evening news
on Channel 5, which included the
"personal" editorial by Chafrman
of the CSA Board of Directors,
Mike Chapaloney, or you may
have read the cover story in the
November 12 issue of The
Clarion Call. Perhaps you heard
on the radio that I am being
"investigated" after announcing
my resignation from Vice
President of Student Senate.
I was elected Vice President in
May 1998. In October, I was
offered an internship in the exec-
utive press office of the
Department of Health in
Harrisburg. Through this won-
derful opportunity, I will be able
to apply what I learned at Clarion
University in my four years of
study first hand. Most important,
I have a chance to gain a perma-
nent position within State
Government.
I apologize for not being able to
fulfill my position as Vice
President of Student Senate. If
the Senate's Constitution allowed
me to serve both my internship
and as Vice President, I would
gladly fulfill the responsibilities
for which I was elected.
However, the Constitution of
Student Senate, not my intern-
ship, prevents me from doing so.
Apparently, the only way I
could please Mr. Chapaloney and
the Student Senate is to refuse the
internship which is so important
to my future. College is all about
preparing for the future. That is
why clubs and organizations are
such a great opportunity; as I
have learned from my two and a
half years as a Student Senator. I
will always cherish the lessons I
have learned in the Senate as I
am sure to cherish those that I
will gain through the internship. I
cannot think that many on this
campus, including Mr.
Chapaloney, would forego such
an opportunity. If he cannot con-
gratulate me for this internship,
he should at least refrain from
slandering me.
What saddens me the most
about this current situation is that
the behavior of several members
of these organizations is not
being addressed by fellow mem-
bers and advisors of organiza-
tions and by the university. I
thought college was where you
learn what you can do, not what
you can get away with doing. I
was misled. Public slander and
defamation of character are legal
issues which community mem-
bers must learn are not accepted
in the professional working
arena.
I still strongly believe that
organizations and clubs are won-
derful opportunities to prepare
you for your future. You get to
practice what you learn in the
classroom. You also learn skills
that cannot be taught to you,
including the most important
element to success: teamwork. I
.only hope that those who have
castigated me in every public
forum for seizing an opportunity,
have not deterred you from being
involved in the many worthwhile
organizations on campus. Your
participation will serve to better
your future and enhance the uni-
versity.

Dear Editor,
In the past, Clarion University's
greek system has played its part
in the service of our community.
1998 is no exception.
Mitchell Augustine, the com-
munity chair of the Interfratemity
Council and Kappa Delta Rho
fraternity member, has put
together a program that involves
each chapter of the greek system.
This year, the time volunteered
by each chapter will be spent
ringing the bell for the Salvation
Army. These members, proudly
wearing their various greek let-
ters, can be found at several dif-
ferent locations such as K-Mart
and Wal-Mart. They will be on
location from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
until Saturday, December 5.
In just the first week, the efforts
of the greek system raised over
$900. All the money collected
will go to the Clarion service unit
of the Salvation Army. Ninety
percent of the money will stay in
Clarion to benefit the community
and the surrounding area. The
other ten percent will go to
Pittsburgh to be placed into a
National Disaster Fund.
This volunteer work is just one
of the many ways the greek sys-
tem benefits Clarion. The mem-
bers of these fraternities and
sororities take pride in the ser-
vices they can provide for the
community and want the people
of Clarion to realize the work that
these individuals do is done in
order to make where they live a
better place
If anyone is willing to volunteer
their time to help ring the bell for
the salvation army, please call Dr.
and Mrs. Belloit at 227-2673.

Student gets look inside CU
as president for a day
by Elisabeth Navarra
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Wednesday, Nov. 1 1 started out
as a typical day for most students.
But for Chris Marshall, it was
very different.
Marshall was the winner of the
annual "Trading Places" day held
here at Clarion University.
Marshall spent a typical day in
the life of CU president Dr. Diane
Reinhard.
At 9:30 a.m., Marshall's day
began with a meeting with Bob
Carlson, CU's athletic director.
That was followed at 10:30 a.m.
by a meeting with Ann Jamison,
the Executive Secretary to the
President of the University.
His day continued with a meet-
ing with Dr. Rashelle Karp, the
associate academic vice presi-
dent. That was followed by lunch
with the Provost/Vice President
for Academic Affairs, Dr. John
Kuhn.
His afternoon began with a
meeting with Dr. Heather
Haberaecker, the vice president
for finance and administration.
Next was a meeting with Clare
Heidler, the director of facilities
management, and a tour of
Founders Hall.
In turn, Dr. Reinhard had to fol-
low Marshall's schedule for the
day. Her day started at 8 a.m.
with Introduction to Music.

When asked what his dav was
like, Marshall said, "It was inter-

"We need to stop the silence," Sanchez added.
The audience listened attentively to her speech, and some were
moved by her poetry readings.
"Hearing the poem delivered by the author is more moving, rather
than just reading it," said Kizzy Enoch.
Susan Curry said that Sanchez's reading inspired her to become more
of an activist.
"It inspires you to be more conscious of the world around you," she
said.
Sanchez is the sponsor of Women's International League for Peace
and Freedom, a board member of MADRE, and a professor of English
at Temple University. She also is a contributing editor to Black Scholar
and the Journal of African Studies, and has edited two anthologies.
She is the author of 13 books including Under a Soprano Sky, We are
a BadddDDD people, and Homecoming. Sanchez is a recipient of a
National Endowment for the Arts, the Lucretia Mott Award for 1984
and the Outstanding Arts Award from the Pennsylvania Coalition of
100 Black Women.
She has also won the Community Service Award from the National
Black Caucus of State Legislators, the 1988 Governor's Award for
Excellence in the Humanities and the 1985 American Book Award for
Homegirls and Handgrenades.

Future of CU's General Education
requirements called into qi
by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call
Assistant Managing Editor
The Clarion University Debate
team held an open forum debate
Tuesday night in Hart Chapel to
argue whether the general educa-
tion requirements at Clarion
University should be abolished.
The event was sponsored by the
Speech and Debate teams, the
Clarion Students Association
(CSA) , and Ballentine Hall. The
event brought out about 75 stu-
dents who expressed their con-
cerns about the system's criteria.
Two students argued for the posi-
tive and negative sides, although
it wasn't necessarily their person-
al views that were represented.
Dr. Anand Rao, Director of
Forensics at Clarion University,
was the facilitator for the event.
He addressed the audience as to
the evolvement of the general
education requirements and
stressed the common and unique
traits of suchgpequirements across
the nation.
The general education require-
ments were re-evaluated at
Clarion in 1986 by Faculty
Senate. The purpose of the
requirements is to provide stu-
dents with a liberal arts back-
ground with emphasis on writing,
reading, math, and speech skills.
They were established nationally
in 1975.

requirements bring down stu-

"Every student is different. After the debate for the negative
These requirements are never put and positive sides, the open forum
brought about a lot of student
feedback for the administration
that was in the audience.
Students questioned if it was the
general education requirements
that were so disliked by students
of if it was flag systems, advising,
scheduling conflicts, lack of avail-
able courses, and the 76 or more
requirements for general educa-
tion certification that held them
4
back.
Members from the audience
suggested to lower the number of
requirements for students and
have professors more aware of the
student's individual concerns such
as changing majors, upper level
courses for basic requirements,
and preference for scheduling.
Audience participants also said
that it is the responsibility of the
students to seek help for advising
and take classes in a certain order
to maintain selection. Many of
the participants asked about waiv-
ing classes for certain divisions on
the list.
Concern also came about the rel-
evance of certain classes on each
major and how some courses only
have three sections available for
about five different majors.
Currently, there are sessions that
are going to be arranged for stu-
dents to come in and individually
express their opinions about the
requirements.
"The reform of such require-
ments is ongoing and assessing
each is a long process," Rao said.

Health News
Although rare, meningitis can be fatal
-by Christine Tatum, College Press Exchange
Students with sniffles, a headache, fever, nausea and exhaustion
are so familiar with those flu-like symptoms that they may be tempt-
ed to skip calling their doctor and head to bed instead.
But if those aches and pains develop into a stiff neck, sensitivity to
light, a rash that doesn't change colors when touched, confusion and
vomiting, they should get medical attention and«get it fast.
An hour can mean the difference between life and death once bac-
terial meningitis sets in doctors say. Although rare, the disease,
which gets into the bloodstream and inflames tissues around the
brain and spinal cord, is transmitted through respiratory fluids that
could come from sharing the same glasses or eating utensils or from
a kiss, a sneeze or a cough.
Despite the few cases reported each year - about 2, 600 according
to the Centers for Disease Control - the disease is prevalent among
college students, who typically live and socialize in close quarters.
Daycare centers and military bases are also prone to outbreaks.
Already this academic year, Michigan Technological University of
Wisconsin at Madison have had to take precautionary measures to
prevent the illness from spreading on their campuses. Oren Krumm,
an 18-year-old freshman at MTU, died Oct. 21, only hours after
being admitted to a local hospital with flu-like symptoms. He lasted
longer than 20-year-old Wisconsin junior Sarah Jean Gornick, who
was pronounced dead 27 minutes after arriving to an emergency
room.
"Everything happens so fast once the swelling starts," said Dr.
Paul Flaherty, and infectious disease specialist at the University of
Chicago. "The brain really has nowhere to go because it's limited
by the skull. Organs start shutting down. The damage is often done
before anyone even knows what's happened."
Because the illness is not highly contagious - Flaherty likens the
chances of catching it to being struck by lightning - antibiotics are
given only to people with inmate or direct exposure to the victim.
Ten of Krumm's hallmates and a few of Gornick's friends were
given medication to help fight possible infection.
While there's no guaranteed way to prevent the illness, people can
do several things to keep it and many other sicknesses at bay, doc-
tors say. Among them:
— "Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands,"
Flaherty said. People often fall prey to illness when they out their
hands into their mouth, nose or eyes after picking up germs from
innumerable places - such as doorknobs, toilets and phone receivers.
If you must fuss with your face, clean hands are better than dirty
ones.
— Remember to cover your nose and mouth when you cough or
sneeze - and ask others to do the same, "But don't cough into the
palm of your hand and then shake. someone else's or turn a door
knob," Flaherty said. "Cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm"
if a tissue isn't handy.
— Get some sleep. The body's natural defenses are worn down
when you are worn out.
— Avoid sharing eating utensils or drinking from the same container.
— Be persistent about seeking treatment.
"So many people are shy about asking their doctor for a follow-up
— especially when they were just their for a visit," Flaherty said.
"But when your symptoms change, it's important to be seen by
someone immediately."

Students question freshman scheduling process
by Mark Strieker
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Students at CU who are con-
cerned about scheduling are not
alone in their concern.
A State System of Higher
Education Student Satisfaction
survey conducted in 1997 said that
43 percent of Clarion students
who responded strongly agreed
that registering for classes is easy,
while only 29 percent of students
at other State System schools felt
the same about their respective
institutions.
Clarion also ranked well in stu-
dents' ability to take classes in the
proper sequence. 33 percent of
CU students strongly agreed,
compared to 25 percent statewide.
The University ranked only
slightly below the statewide aver-
age in "providing a wide range of
courses" and "having classes
available when needed," accord-
ing to the survey's results.
"I think things have gotten bet-
ter," said Dr. Stanton Green, Dean
of the College of Arts and
Sciences.
He said upgrades like^TELREG
(the telephone registration sys-
"Pm a junior, I need
classes to graduate,
and freshmen are
getting them."
--Amy Moeslein,
CU student
tern) and CourseView ( a comput-
er program that provides up-to-the
minute class availability informa-
tion) have improved the process
since he arrived here Five years
ago.
One complaint students are mak-
ing, however, is about freshman
scheduling. "It causes problems,"
said Rachael Busch.
She said that sections of classes
she needed were already closed on
the first day of scheduling.
"I'm a junior. I need classes to
graduate, and freshmen are getting
them," said Amy Moeslein, a
speech communication and the-
atre major.
"Students shouldn't use
CourseView as their advisor,"
Green said. He noted more facul-
ty/student interaction is what
would really improve the registra-
tion process, since the information
on CourseView changes as more
seats and sections are added. "Not
enough students talk with their
advisors," he said.
Green said that some students
think registration is a single event.
"It really is a process that goes
along with deans monitoring and
making changes as needed," he
said.
The freshman scheduling policy,
which allows freshmen to sched-
ule 15 credits for the fall and
spring semesters during summer
orientation, began last year.
However, freshmen are only
allowed to schedule for 100-level
courses, and seats are reserved for
upper classes.
Provost/Vice President for
Academic Affairs Dr. John Kuhn
said that it is too early to decide
whether or not the policy will be
beneficial overall.
He said, however, early indica-
tions based on drop/add statistics
are good.
The number of drop/add trans-
actions made by this year's sopho-
more class(the first class to sched-
ule two full semesters during sum-
mer orientation) dropped by six
percent.
Kuhn said it hoped that giving
freshmen the opportunity to
schedule will get them off to a
good start.
"The only down side is they
neglect seeing their advisors,"
said Kuhn, who stressed the
importance of the advisement
process.
"I can understand freshmen
scheduling one semester, but two
semesters is too much," said
Moeslein.
Kuhn and Green both agreed
mat the bunching of classes during
peak times is problematic. "This
is a two-way street," Green said.
He added that most professors like
to teach during peak hours (com-
monly between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.).
However, when professors offer
sections at other times of the day,
like 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., the number
of students who register for those
classes decreases.
Kuhn said he recently sent a
memo to faculty asking them to
spread their classes out over more
of the day.
He also said that student athletes
are also taken into consideration
when classes are scheduled.
According to Kuhn, classes with
only one section are usually
scheduled in the morning, so as
not to conflict with team sport
practices.
Registrar Douglas Bills said he
saw no real increase in student
complaints this semester. He said
that students could be more
aggressive in the registering
process by seeing their advisors
and planning ahead.
"Students are lucky," Bills said,
citing the years before TELREG
when the lines of students waiting
to register would snake around the
sidewalks.

U
Picasso at the Lapin Agile
delights and entertains
9?
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Tuesday night, the second play of
the 1998-99 CUP "Season By
Request" opened. Boasting,
among other things, a moving
stage, Pablo Picasso and a schizo-
phrenic female role, comedian
Steve Martin's first play "Picasso
at the Lapin Agile" delighted a
packed Little Theatre.
Telling the fictional story of
Einstein and Picasso's meeting in a
French cabaret at the turn of the
century, Picasso took a humorous
look at Einstein and Picasso's own
special life philosophies. In fact,
Martin took a potentially "deep"
subject and turned it into a very
funny play.
As was the case in the earlier play
"The Servant of Two Masters", the
set was designed and built by Ed
Powers. I must say that Mr.
Powers is very good at his work -
the set was so realistic that I could
almost smell the cheap tobacco
smoke from the bar. A surprise for
the crowd came late in the play
when, as the "Visitor" told it to, the
bar scene opened up so the beauty
of the starry night was visible for
everyone.
Picasso was directed by Robert
Levy, and starred Jarrod Fry and
Eric Grugel as Picasso and Einstein
(respectively). The cast also
included Chris Taylor as the bar-
tender girlfriend Germaine, Trevor
Southworth as the misguided
inventor Charles Schmendiman,
Seana Simon in a superhuman
triple role as Suzanne, the Countess
and the Admirer, Bob Zinsmeister
as the flamboyant art collector
Sagot, and Patrick O'Neil as the
strangely out-of-place "Visitor."
Mr. Fry stole his scenes, espe-
cially after bursting onto the stage
proclaiming "I've been thinking
about sex all day!" Mr. Fry did a
fantastic job with a role that
seemed to be Martin's way of writ-
ing himself into his own play.
In contrast to the season's open-
ing play "The Servant of Two
Masters", Picasso was a very dif-
ferent play. Gone were the
moments of double meaning sexu-
al innuendo of Servant - Picasso
went straight for the throat. Also,
the characters in Picasso had their
own souls, and were not the
"stock" characters of Servant's
comediadeH'arte.
Overall, I enjoyed the play very
much. The jokes were well-timed,
and the scenes where either Picasso
or Einstein would ramble on about
their theories of art and science
were masterfully done. Gaston's
frequently announced bathroom
calls added the perfect punctuation
when it seemed a scene had begun
to take itself too seriously.
In fact, the one aspect of the play
that I didn't like was the sometimes
confusing placement of no-name
characters in the scenes. An exam-
ple would be Schmendiman - while
I do understand his place as comic
relief in the play, he seemed to be a
mere footnote to the actual action
of the play. The same couldbe said
of O'Neil's "Visitor" - are we to
take him for who he is, or does he
serve another purpose in the story?
These two characters just seemed a
bit out of place. But even the con-
fusion wasn't enough to bog down
a wonderful script with a cast to
match. The show runs through
Saturday evening. The house
opens at 7:30 and the show begings
at 8:00.

Theatre Review
Les Miserables
proves it's one of
the classics
by Kelly Palma
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Theatre Review
You find yourself amid the sleep-
walking students piling on the bus
to get a seat for the long ride to
Toronto. Even though half of the
bus is sleeping, you can feel the
anticipation and excitement in the
air. Only 8 hours till Les Miz!
Once the bus finally arrives in
Toronto, everyone is glad just to
stand up and stretch a bit. There are
still three more hours however to
wait. So you wander around the
city, looking in at some shops.
Some students opted to visit the
CN Tower, others Planet
Hollywood and the Hard Rock
Cafe. Somehow you manage to
pass the time until the curtain goes
up.
Les Miserables had been seen by
over 40 million people. In 15 dif-
ferent languages, 26 countries, and
32 different productions. It truly
has been around the world and
back.
Once inside The Princess Of
Wales Theatre, does it finally hit
you that the show is about to begin.
The lights are dimmed and the
crowd is hushed. For over three
hours the crowd is enthralled by the
singing, the sets, and the acting.
For the most part not a peep is
heard, except for a few small sobs
here and mere. Les Miz, is a rather
Somber Production. Once the pro-
duction is over, the audience leapt
to its feet. It seemed as if no think-
ing was required, everyone just
rose simultaneously. One student
commented, "Never before have I
seen an audience just immediately
jump to their feet...that is truly
something amazing."
Why did everyone jump to their
feet, you may ask? That can be
summed up in two words, Colm
Wilkinson. He originated the role
of Jean Valjean in the original
London and Broadway productions
of Les Miserables. In one word he
is simply phenomenal. Wilkinson
left Les Miz in 1987 and since then
has only performed the role of Jean
Valjean once for a PBS special.
This is Wilkinson's only North
American appearance. This was
my second time, seeing Les Miz.
The first, was at the Benedum in
Pittsburgh. Colm Wilkinson made
all the difference in the world, he
made this experience twenty times
better. At one point Wilkinson
sings a song about his daughter's
love entiUed "Bring Him Home",
He holds a note for what seems like
an eternity. There is no one else
singing, it's just Wilkinson, and he
has captured the attention of every-
one in the theatre. Once he finally
lets the note go, the audience
responds to the wondrous feat
they've just witnesses with an
astounding round of applause. This
is just one of the many captivating
moments of the play.
One person could not make a play
magnificent, believe me it's been
tried. There are so many things that
contribute to a truly awesome
show. For one, the music; it's pure,
raw emotion; without a good score
and lyrics you have nothing. Next
it's the set; Les Miz uses a circular
platform that covers most of the
stage, that spins; and two barri-
cades that go up and down. Then
the cast, a truly amazing set of peo-
ple who perform the show eight
times a week with the same passion
and feeling each time.
Have I intrigued you yet? Well
just in case you can't make it to
Toronto to see Les Miz here is a
brief synopsis. Les Miserables is
the musical adaptation of the 19th
century novel by Victor Hugo that
tells the story of Jean Valjean who
is imprisoned unfairly, breaks his
parole, adopts a child, changes his
identity and builds a new life for
himself and the child. Valjean is
hunted for 17 years by a crazed
policeman fixated on bringing him
to justice. The story begins when
Valjean is paroled from the Toulon
Prison in 1815, and ends during a
revolt against the French Monarchy
in 1832.
I.es Miz is one of die classics and
if you ever get the chance to see it,
even if it is eight hours away, it will
be an experience you'll never for-
sjet. '
Darkly complex X-Files
x 'scapes the normal
by Kate O'Hare
College Press Exchange
They said it couldn't be
done. They said you couldn't
make a movie based on Fox's
"The X-Files" - one of televi-
sion's most complex, in-joke-
laden shows - and have anyone
but dedicated fans understand
what was going on. They were
wrong.
While no blockbuster, "The
X-Files" movie did well
enough to convince Twentieth
Century Fox to green light
another big-screen outing. But
before movie number two,
there's season number six to
deal with (which began Nov. 8
on Fox). Chris Carter and his
team have moved the show's
production from rainy
Vancouver, B.C., to sunny
Southern California.
Recently Frank Spotnitz,
who co-wrote the story for the
movie and has long been
Carter's right-hand man,
talked by phone about the new
season along with writer/pro-
ducers John Shiban and Vince
Gilligan. The change of locale
came up immediately.
Says Spotnitz, "There was a
lot of apprehension about the
move to Los Angeles, because
we had such a fantastic crew in
Vancouver, and there was such
a feeling of family. We'd all
built the success of the show
together. It felt very strange
starting all over again with
new people."
"There have been a few
bumps in the road down here,
but by and large, we have been
really happy with the work
that's being done so far,
despite some growing pains."
Reportedly, one of the people
urging the move was series star
David Duchovny. who wanted
to spend more time with new
wife Tea Leoni. But after five
years in drizzle and misty pine
forests, Spotnitz feels that the
show was due for a new look.
"We've also had the opportu-
nity to write to locations that
exist in Los Angeles that you'd
never be able to write in
Vancouver. We have a two-
parter which John, Vince, and I
wrote together (called
'Dreamland'), ifs going to air
as episodes four and five, and
it's set chiefly in the desert, at
Area 51 in Nevada!"
We hear it's a comedy. Says
Spotnitz, "No one's done (Area
51) quite the way we're going
to do it."
The movie came out on video
Oct. 13 (series creator Chris
Carter's birthday and a recur-
ring number in the series),
adding a scene that tells more
about the fate of Mulder's
alien-abducted sister,
Samantha. We now know that
the aliens plan to use a virus to
not only control the people of
Earth, but transform them into
aliens, and that the collabora-
tors - a.k.a. The Syndicate -
helping the aliens realize
they've been duped.
Season six launched with
"The Beginning," the continu-
ation of the season-five
cliffhanger, "The End."
Written by Chris Carter (as
all season finales and pre-
mieres are), it finds Mulder
and Scully chasing a deadly
creature in the Arizona desert
in a persuit that has ramifica-
tions for the X-Files, Mulder
and Scully's partnership, and
Mulder's theories about
extraterrestrials.
UnHke the movie, which
only dealt with one plot thread
from "The End," the reopening
of the closed X-Files, "The
Beginning" revisits the story
of telepathic chess prodigy
Gibson Praise (Jeff Gulka),
and brings back Mulder's for-
mer "chickadee," Agent Diana
Fowley (Mimi Rogers), last
seen being taken off in an
ambulence after being shot.
Darren McGavin (star of the
1970's series "Kolchak: The
Night Stalker," often cited by
Carter as one of the semirfal
influences for "The X-Files")
will return as former Agent
Arthur Dales, the founder of
the X-Files, introduced in a
season-five flashback called
"Travelers."
"In the first episode," says
Shiban, "there was a huge new
piece in the puzzle that's pre-
sented."
Expect lots of conspiracy
switch-hitter Krycek (Nicholas
Lea); Fowley; the shadowy
Cigarette Smoking Man
(William B. Davis); his son.
Agent Spender (Chris Owens);
conspiracy theorists the Lone
Gunmen (Dean Haglund, Tom
Braidwood, Bruce Harwood);
Assistant Director Skinner
(Mitch Pileggi); and a new
character, Assistant Director
Alvin Kersh (James
Pickering).
"The big challenge for the
top of the season is that the
movie is part of the mythology,
as was the season ender last
year, 'The End." says Shiban.
"We realized we had a lot of
details and backstory to deal
with to bring the TV audience
and the movie audience togeth-
er again,"
Says Spotnitz, "I think the
movie brought the mythology
to a new point. You'll see, in
the future, in the show, Mulder
has seen aliens now. It was a
logical and natural thing to
(put in) the movie. And
(Mulder and Scully's) relation-
ship - we've toyed and with-
held how they felt about each
other for five years. I think we
managed to deepen that con-
nection between the two of
them without ruining it for the
future.
"It really felt to us that the
story of the movie was
inevitable, and that was a good
feeling."
What the movie helped to do
was draw together plot threads
of the alien government con-
spiracy, from the traditional
gray aliens to the alien virus,
transmitted through a "black
oil."
Says Shiban, "As the series
winds down - and I think we're
all assuming we're heading
toward the end of the tunnel
now, somewhere in the next
couple of years - the clarity
about everything that's gone
on and all the complicated
teases we've presented to the
audience, it will all come
together, hopefully, in a beau-
tiful way."
Part of Mulder's quest for the
truth about Samantha and
aliens has been to break open
the Syndicate and expose its
secret doings. But the movie
revealed that the Syndicate and
its secret vaccine may be the
only thing that will save us
from the alien virus. In push-
ing toward the truth, are
Mulder and Scully now doing
more harm than good?

Tips for not hosting
Movie Review
Thanksgiving dinner next year "Vampires" sucks
by Dave Barry
Syndicated columnist
So this year, you agreed to
host the big family
Thanksgiving dinner.
Congratulations! You
moron!
No, seriously, hosting
Thanksgiving dinner does
NOT have to be traumatic.
The key is planning. For
example, every year my
family spends Thanksgiving
at the home of a friend
named Arlene Reidy, who
prepares dinner for a huge
number of people. I can't
give an exact figure,
becausemy eyeballs become
fogged with gravy. But I'm
pretty sure that Arlene is
feeding several branches of
the armed forces. And
Arlene is not slapping just
any old food on the table,
either. She's a gourmet cook
who can make anything. I
bet she has a recipe for cold
fusion. She serves moist,
tender turkeys the size of
Arnold Schwarzenegger
accompanied by vast array
of exotic hors d'oeuvres and
350 kinds of sweet potatoes
made from scratch. I'm
pretty sure Arlene threshes
her own wheat.
If you were to look into
Arlene's dining room at the
end of Thanksgiving dinner,
it would at first appear to be
empty. Then you'd hear
groans and burps coming
from under the table, and
you'd realize that the
guests, no longer able to
cope with the food and
gravity at the same time,
were lying on the floor.
Every now and then you'd
see a hand snake up over the
edge of the table, grab a
handful of stuffing, then
dart back under the table
again, after which you'd
hear chewing, m then swal-
lowing, then the sound of
digestive organs rupturing.
Some guests have to be
rushed by ambulance to the
hospital, receiving pumpkin
pie intravenously en route.
The question is: How is
Arlene able to prepare such
an amazing feast for so
many people? The answer is
simple: 1 have no idea. I'm
always watching football
when it happens. But my
point is that, if you want to
provide your Thanksgiving
guests with a delicious
home-cooked meal, one
approach would be to go to
Arlene's house and steal
some of her food when she's
busy churning the butter.
She'd never notice. She has
enough leftovers to make
turkey sandwiches for
everybody in Belgium.
If you prefer to do your
own cooking this
Thanksgiving, your first
step is to calculate how
much turkey you need.
Home economists tell us
that the average 155-pound
person consumes 1.5 pounds
of turkey, so if you are
planning to have 14 rela-
tives for dinner, you'd sim-
ply multiply 14 times 1.5
times 155, which means
your turkey should weigh,
let's see, carry the two...
3,255 pounds. If you can't
find a turkey that size, you
should call up selected rela-
tives and explain to them in
a sensitive and diplomatic
manner that they can't come
because they weigh too
much. In selecting a turkey,
remember that the fresher it
is, the better it will taste.
That's why, if you 20 into
the kitchen of top profes-
sional homemaker Martha
Stewart on Thanksgiving
morning, you'll find her
whacking a live turkey with
a hatchet. In fact, you'll
find Martha doing this
every morning. 'It just
relaxes me," she reports.
Your other option is to get
a frozen turkey at the super-
market. The Turkey
Manufacturers Association
recommends that, before
you purchase a frozen bird.
you check it for firmness by
test-dropping it on the
supermarket floor it should
bounce three vertical inches
per pound and then take a
core sample of the breast by
drilling into it with a 3/8-
inch masonry bit until you
strike the giblets. If super-
market employees attempt
to question you, the Turkey
Manufacturers Association
recommends that you "ges-
ture at them with the drill in
a reassuring manner.
When you get the turkey
home, you should thaw it
completely by letting it sit
on a standard kitchen
counter at room temperature
for one half of the turkey's
weight in hours, or roughly
19 weeks. "If you see spi-
ders nesting in your
turkey," states the Turkey
Manufacturers Association,
"you waited too long."
Once the turkey is
defrosted, you simply cook
it in a standard household
oven at 138.4 degrees cen-
timeter for 27 minutes per
pound (29 minutes for mar-
ried taxpayers filing joint-
ly). Add four minutes for
each 100 feet of your
home's elevation above sea
level, which you should
determine using a standard
household sextant. Inspect
the turkey regularly as it
cooks; when you notice that
the skin has started to blis-
ter, the time has come for
you to give your guests the
message they've been
eagerly awaiting: "Run!"
Because you left the plastic
wrappej on the turkey, and
it's about to explode, spew-
ing out flaming salmonella
units at the speed of sound.
As you stand outside wait-
ing for the fire trucks, you
should take a moment to
count your blessings. The
main one, of course, is that
you will definitely NOT be
asked to host the big family
Thanksgiving dinner next
year. But it's also important
to remember as our Pilgrim
foreparents remembered on
the very first Thanksgiving
that two excellent names for
rock bands would be "The
Turkey Spiders" and "The
Flaming Salmonella Units."
the life out of the
horror genre
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
I see a lot of movies, probably
more than I should. Of course, that
means I've seen more than my
share of bad flicks. After having sat
through mindless drivel like The
Avengers, propped my eyelids open
during Sinbad's House Guest, and
tried not to scream while watching
Mortal Kombat 2: Annihilation, I
feel I'm more than qualified to pass
judgement on a horrible movie.
That being said, I'd like to state
that John Carpenter's Vampires is
one of the biggest pieces of crap
I've ever seen. I apologize if I've
offended you by my choice of
wording. Normally I try to
describe films with phrases like
"visually stunning" and "poignant,"
but in the case of Vampires, "hunk
of crap" really seems to fit the bill.
In Vampires, James Woods and
Billy Baldwin play ultra-macho
vampire hunters. No, I didn't leave
anything out. That's the entire plot.
There's no character development
and very little drama but tons and
tons of gore. Another great "beat
up the bad guys" movie for the
whole family to avoid. *
When he's not hacking vampires
to bits, Woods spends his time beat-
ing up a priest sent by the Catholic
Church to aid him on his mission.
Baldwin, whose hair contains at
least twenty gallons of motor oil,
wastes screen time slapping around
a vampire-bitten prostitute whom
the duo is using as bait to catch a
master vampire.
Carpenter gives movie-goers
absolutely no reason to root for
these two. Woods and Baldwin are
two of the most thoroughly unlike-
able heroes to hit the screen in a
very long time. It doesn't help that
their adversaries are even cornier.
The funniest thing about
Vampires is watching the living
undead burst into flames like
roman candles when they're
exposed to sunlight. Vampires'
special effects team apparently pur-
chased the bulk of their pyrotech-
nics at Wal-Mart's July 5th fire-
works sale.
On a more serious note, I found it
very distressing that Vampires
found it necessary to treat the
priest's character as a punching bag
for Baldwin and Woods. The priest
was pushed around constantly until
he literally threw away his white
collar and began killing vampires.
I'm not sure what type of message
Carpenter is trying to send with his
film's unnecessary abuse of a reli-
gious figure, but it left me truly
revolted.
It's amazing how many film
cliche x s Carpenter managed to pack
into Vampires. He used all the
obligatory "tough guy" shots,
including Woods walking away
from an exploding building without
flinching, a shot that was much
more entertaining in From Dusk
Till Dawn.
Carpenter also worked in my all-
time least favorite action movie
cliche'; the mysterious bad guy
turns out to be the only character in
the film who has significant screen
time other than the heroes. Wow, I
sure didn't see that coming!
This film is bad. Really bad.
Godzilla bad. Then again, I take
that back. Godzilla didn't make me
contemplate ritual suicide some-
where after the first reel ended.
When you come right down to it,
Vampires is the sort of film people
shouldn't see alone. Bring your
friends so you can all laugh at it.

Music Review
Seal proves to be more
than human
by Keith Gwllim
Clarion Call Assistnat
Lifestyles Editor
Seal after releasing his second
self titled album: "I'm not going
to be a perfectionist and take
forever with my next album."
Seal for the next four and a half
years: (insert cold, dead
silence). Aside from a cover of
Steve Miller's classic "Fly Like
An Eagle," recorded for the
Space Jam soundtrack, Seal
performed a Jimmy Hoffa and
disappeared from the face of the
planet. Now he finally returns
from his artistic netherworld
with his third album, Human
Being.
Seal is quite the changeling,
adopting new styles with each
new album, and even within
each album. His first was an
iresistable mix of acid-house
iechno (Crazy, The Beginning),
icoustic guitar ballads
(Whirlpool, Show Me), and psy-
cadelic pop (Violet). While all
those styles were kept separate
on his first effort, his second
1994 self titled album mixed the
genres together with each song,
as he mainly traveled the lush
pop ballad route, and in doing
so, created some of the best pop
music of the 90s, not to mention
his biggest hit yet in "Kiss From
A Rose."
Being was not going to be over-
produced, and it's not; but it is
his lushest album yet; dense and
rich as the deepest Amazon jun-
gle. It's probably his most
introspective album yet, both
lyrically and musically. Human
Being is an intense slow-burner
of passionate emotion and
throbbing grooves. It makes for
a deeply personal listen. The
album ebbs and flows with
energy, and enthralls you com-
pletely.
Seal is one of the best vocal-
ists in the music industry today,
and Human Being only solidi-
fies that reputation. His voice is
like an audio Pepto Bismol for
the soul; coating and soothing
your ears, and lending the album
a jazzy ambience and smokey
aura that permeates the disc at
every turn. It's amazing how he
can make a line like "We're
mere human beings, we bleed,
we die, it's destined," and make
it sound so soulful and uplifting.
Much of the album follows that
tone, though. Where his second
album mainly preached the
brighter side of life, spirituality,
or were love stories; many of his
lyrics are rather pessimistic on
Human Being. On "State Of
Grace," he sings "I can't seem
to find my state of grace; who
knows, tomorrow may never
come" with moody indifference.

lyrics aren't quite on the same
level as his wordsmithing was
on his first two discs, but with a
voice like his, who cares?
Most of the songs have the
same tempo and tone, and segue
into one another, creating a
suite-like atmosphere over the
album. That might tum out to
be the disc's commercial down-
fall, though. There aren't many
obvious singles on the disc, and
on a whole, Human Being lacks
the pop sensibility that Seal's
first two albums contained.
That doesn't mean the disc is
a boring listen. If the title track
doesn't have you singing along
by the end; and if "Latest
Craze" doesn't have your hips
gyrating to its endlessly deep
synthesizer riff, then your heart
has temporarily shut down, and
I suggest you jump-start it
promptly.
Every single instrument possi-
ble is utilized on Human Being,
from electric and acoustic guitar
and bass, piano, synthesizer,
string arrangements, and pro-
gramming, courtesy of William
Orbit, who also masterminded
Madonna's latest, Ray Of Light,
and which also explains why
Human Being resembles that
album in many places. Of
course, producer Trevor Horn,
who helmed Seal's previous
albums, ropes all these various
styles and instruments into a
perfect and flawless almagam of
music.
With his two earlier albums,
Seal proved he was equally at
home with dance clubs, modern
rock radio, and Top 40 formats.
With Human Being, it's not hard
to imagine him standing up in a
smokey blues and jazz joint,
belting out his soul to the
crowd. It is a perfect fusion of
swirling psycadelia and rhythm
and blues. When the names of
the great R&B and soul vocal-
ists are mentioned, Seal will
definitely lake his proud place
among them. m
Seal proves that England has a
lot more to offer than the Spice
Girls and Teletubbies. On my
five-star rating system, Seal has
earned himself a 4 1/2 for
Human Being, and convinced
me that his talent is a little more
than just 'human.'
Social Equity Week Speaker
Jesse Nighthawk
enlightens crowd
by Lori Imbrogno
Clarion Call Staff Writer
When it comes to the need for
justice, Jesse Nighthawk has
seen it all. As a full-blooded
Cherokee and Vietnam veteran,
he's lost friends to war, has been
separated from his family mem-
bers, and has watched the Earth
fall apart before his eyes. Yet,
despite his misfortune, he finds
beauty in the world, saying, "I
love this land, I love this Earth, I
love this country."
Sponsored by the Martin
Luther King Jr. Committee and
the Dean of Student Life
Services, Nighthawk enlightened
the audience of Hart Chapel last
Thursday with an informative
yet entertaining program in
which he shared his experiences
and view of life through the
strum of a guitar.
Nighthawk has composed
many songs depicting the life of
"a Native American who has
been there and done that." He
has produced two CDs, So Long
My Noble Redman and The
Ghost Dance: The Final Hope, in
which he chose selections to
share with his many listeners.
Tapes and CDs were available
for sale during his program.
As a graduate of Nothern State
University in Tahlequah, OK, the
participant of an intern program
sponsored by the U.S.
Department of Indian Affairs,
and a worker in both white and
blue collar worlds, Nighthawk
has had the privilege of working
with people of all cultures. He
sees the importance of ethnic
diversity as he explained in his
song "We Are The One," saying
that although people are differ-
ent, they are united. "There's
not but one race," he said, "and
that's the human race, we are all
a family of."
Interest in Nighthawk's pro-
gram was high. After making
his closing remark, he had not
time to exit the stage before
being bombarded with questions
from many of the audience
members. His performance .
sparked interest in the Native
culture, thus, meeting one of the
Martin Luther King Jr.
Committee's goals. The com-
mittee also hopes that by listen-
ing to Nighthawk, people will be
prompted to become actively
involved in furthering social jus-
tice.
' Felicity' follows
her heart
by Kate O'Hara
College Press Exchange
We asked her point blank:
does Keri Russell mind playing a
"brain" on "Felicity?" The high-
ly praised new show, which airs
Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. ET on the
WB, stars Russell as an emotion-
ally confused A student. "( recks
rock!" Russell replies, "Are you
kidding? Geeks are so in style
now. It can be cool to be smart
and geeky and not have 500
boyfriends and big boobs and
eyeliner. I love the way she
looks. We consciously decided
on her look, no makeup, hair
messy, pulled back in ponytails,
big sweaters. It's funny that you
don't see more of that on TV —
mat's how I dress. In this indus-
try, people don't want to see girls
dressed like that. I fight for it all
the time, and it's great, on this
show, not having to fight for that.
It puts a whole different perspec-
tive in your brain, in your whole
world," she says. "Walking on
set, people actually listen to what
you say and not just look at you
from afar. It's really bizarre. It's
done wonders for me."
The premise: Russell plays
Felicity Porter, a sheltered
California girl whose parents
have her whole life mapped out.
from high-school graduation to
medical studies at Stanford and
beyond. But on graduation day
Felicity finally works up the
courage to approach Ben
Covington (Scott Speedman), the
boy she has worshipped from afar
for four years, and asks him to
sign her yearbook. What he
writes so moves her that she
impulsively decides to follow
him to a university in New York
City.

Entering the past weekend's

seemed to revolve around a poten-

However, as is often die case,

Eagles bow to California in season finale
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
The 1998 football season came
to a close for the Clarion
University Golden Eagles
Saturday at Memorial Stadium
with a 30-28 loss to PSAC-West
rival California.
The loss was Clarion's Fifth in a
row and put the Golden Eagles at
3-8 for the season and in a tie for
last place in die PSAC-West with
California at 1-5.
Forced to field an inexperienced
defense because of injuries, the
Golden Eagles permitted at least
30 points in each of their last five
games. Clarion's inability to shut
down an opposing offense proved
to cost them die final game of the
season, as California scored on a
58-yard touchdown reception by
Rich Nartey with 2:41 left in the
game to pull ahead of the Golden
Eagles for good.
The Vulcans closed die season at
4-7 overall, with their other wins
coming against Mansfield,
Cheyney, and Fairmont State.
It looked like the Eagles had
returned to the form that brought
them three wins in their first six
games when Alvin Slaughter
reached out and grabbed a 37-
yard touchdown pass from Chris
Weibel. Frank VanWert was true

came with 5:51 remaining when
quarterback Mike Yurcich and
wide receiver Jason White com-
bined for a 51 -yard touchdown.
Clarion was able to sever die
lead to one touchdown before
halftime when Slaughter scored
on a 14-yard reception from
Weibel with 48 seconds left on the
first-half clock.
The teams would exchange the
lead twice in the second half
before California emerged on top.
Clarion knotted the game when
running back Glenn Allen crossed
the goal line on a 1-yard run mid-
way through the third quarter.
California struck back with a 23-
yard field goal to go ahead 24-21
with 2:41 remaining in the third
quarter.
Clarion scored what appeared to
be the game-winner when Allen
punched in from 2 yards out with
3:59 remaining, putting the
Golden Eagles on top 28-24.
However, Nartey's heroics
would follow, giving the Vulcans
the win.
Slaughter finished with nine

touchdowns, while Weibel was 13

Notebook: Younger players begin work for next season
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
At the outset of the 1998 football
season, it was said that the Golden
Eagles could finish anywhere in
the PSAC-West standings.
The reasoning behind that was
that the Golden Eagles had the tal-
ent and potential to finish first, as
did the rest of the teams in the
Western Division.
However, while that seemed log-
ical, a finish near the top of the
standings seemed much more
likely.
Despite the disappointing finish
to the season, the team's younger
players aren't discouraged. One
of the team's most dedicated
young players, sophomore right
tackle Ken Nickson, says the team
is already thinking about next sea-
son.
"Everyone has faith that we can
have a winning team," said the
Erie native. "After the last game,
one of the freshmen came up to
me and said, 'Next season just
started.'
"This season didn't faze us.
What sticks with me are the wins
over Millersville and Kutztown,
and the way we were able to play
with Youngstown State for a
while."
Nickson said that in order for the
Golden Eagles to be successful
next season, the team's young
players will have to step into lead-
ership roles.
"This year, when something bad
happened everybody would get
down." said Nickson. "The young
players have to step up and be
leaders."
Nickson also assures Clarion
fans that a good season lies ahead
despite the disappointment of the
last two seasons.
"Clarion football is going to
come back and have a good sea-
son," he said. "The fans need to
keep supporting us. 1 know we
had a tough season. That happens.
Coach (Malen Luke) says he's
going to fix what's wrong.
"Everyone's looking to win.
Nobody's thinking about losses."

Midwest Intercollegiate Football
Conference Saturday at noon at N.

Rockets enter this matchup with a
10-game winning streak and a 13-
game unbeaten home streak. The
two-time PSAC-West champions
suffered their only loss in the
opening game of the season at I-
AA South Florida, which is
ranked No. 21 in this week's poll.
IUP (10-1), whose only loss was
Rock, holds the No. 2 seed and
will host West Virginia

Conference champion Shepherd
(9-1) in a 1 p.m. affair at Miller

playoffs nine times in head coach
Frank Cignetti's 13 years, the last
coming two years ago when they
fell to Ferris State in the first
round. Ferris State would Uien
fall at home to Clarion.
On paper, it looks like the
Northeast Regional final could be
an all-PSAC-West affair. Clarion
dropped a close, 27-20 game at
Shepherd in week three before
being pummeled at IUP, 52-12, in
the eighth week of the season.
Slippery Rock, very simply, has
proven to be the best team in the
region all season and will have a
chance to better last year's quar-
terfinal finish. Should the
Rockets and Indians both win, that
would set up a rematch of

Notebook: Younger players begin work for next season
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
At the outset of die 1998 football
season, it was said dial the Golden
Eagles could finish anywhere in
the PSAC-West standings.
The reasoning behind that was
that the Golden Eagles had the tal-
ent and potential to finish first, as
did the rest of the teams in the
Western Division.
However, while that seemed log-
ical, a finish near die top of the
standings seemed much more
likely.
Despite die disappointing finish
to the season, the team's younger
players aren't discouraged. One
of the team's most dedicated
young players, sophomore right
tackle Ken Nickson, says the team
is already thinking about next sea-
son.
"Everyone has faith that we can
have a winning team," said the
Erie native. "After the last game,
one of the freshmen came up to
me and said. Next season just
started.'
"This season didn't faze us.
What sticks with me are the wins
over Millersville and Kutztown,
and the way we were able to play
with Youngstown State for a
while."
Nickson said that in order for die
Golden Eagles to be successful
next season, the team's young
players will have to step into lead-
ership roles.
'"This year, when something bad
happened everybody would gel
down." said Nickson. "The young
players have to step up and be
leaders."
Nickson also assures Clarion
fans that a good season lies ahead
despite the disappointment of the
last two seasons.
"Clarion football is going to
come back and have a good sea-
son," he said. "The fans need to
keep supporting us. I know we
had a tough season. That happens.
Coach (Malen Luke) says he's
going to fix what's wrong.
"Everyone's looking to win.
Nobody's diinking about losses."

Slippery Rock very simply, has

team would advance to the nation-
al semifinal.
• The one team on Clarion's
schedule that looked like a sure-
fire playoff team in the preseason
will be watching the playoffs at
home this year. Surprisingly,
Youngstown State, the defending
Division I-AA champions, have
struggled to a 5-5 overall record
and a 2-3 slate in the Gateway
Conference. The folks in the
Mahoning Valley are scratching
their heads over this one. With a
strong cast of players returning
from last year's national titlist
team, the Penguins opened the
1998 campaign with a 50-6 win
over Clarion and a 24-10 hum-
bling of I-A Kent State. At that
point, Penguin fans already had
the playoffs marked on their cal-
endars. However, one theory for
YSU's struggles is that they, have
had a series of injuries on the
offensive line and difficulty estab-
lishing a starting quarterback, two
strengths of the teams that won
four national titles this decade.
• Saturday's game with California
marked the end of the careers for
several Golden Eagle seniors.
One of which is Alvin Slaughter.
Slaughter was a crowd favorite at
Memorial Stadium for four years.
Onlookers at Memorial Stadium
watched as he broke record after
record in his brilliant career. It's
important to note that those num-
bers were often difficult to come
by, no matter how easy he often
made it look. Opposing teams
spent hours upon hours watching
him on film and knew how he was
used in the Golden Eagle offense.
He was often double-teamed and
always trash-talked by opposing
players. Still, on most occasions,
he left little doubt in the minds of
those on hand who the best player
on the field was.
Away from the spotlight, Alvin
was always gracious to reporters
whether it was a mid-week inter-
view or a question-and-answer
session just moments after a tough
loss. Speaking as a writer who
has interviewed players from
Penn State and West Virginia, as
well as heavyweight boxing
champion Evander Holyfield,
Alvin gives as interesting an inter-
view as a reporter could hope for,
giving insightful and colorful
answers to questions.
I suspect last Saturday's game
won't be Alvin's last on the foot-
ball field. I, for one, will be surf-
ing the Internet next summer
looking for his name on rosters
from various professional
leagues.
• If the Eagles thought they faced
some high-powered offenses this
season, wait until next season's
opener rolls around. The Eagles
will be welcoming D-II indepen-
dent New Haven (Conn.), last sea-
son's national runner-up. The
Chargers employ a run-and-shoot
offence and have the players who
know how to run it. Just how
tough is New Haven? Although
New Haven missed out on the
playoffs this season, the Chargers
took Youngstown State to over-
time before falling 18-15. In the
season finale, New Haven
knocked off Robert Morris, 26-
24, which won the I-AA non-
scholarship Northeast
Conference. Clarion/New Haven
should get the final football sea-
son of the millennium off to an
exciting start, as the Golden
Eagles are always tough to beat at
home in the early season.

The Clarion Call
November 19, 1998
Sportsview
It's been a great ride
By Chris Pfeil
Associate Sports Editor
For the last four years, I have
had the pleasure of writing sports
for the Call. However, since I
can't stay in college forever, I am
graduating at the end of the
semester. That means this will be
the last time my name appears on
the Sportsview column.
I usually use this space to bash
the Big Ten or to talk about the
Steelers. But, you know by now
bow I feel about those topics.
Instead, I've decided to write
about how you can make a differ-
ence in society through sports and
thank the many people who have
helped me bring you this column.
Sports are an important part of
the society we live in. The thrill
of competition is the American
way. Anywhere you turn, you can
find a sporting event. I'm not just
talking about college and profes-
sional sports. I am talking about
youth leagues and high school
sports, as well.
When your time comes to grad-
uate and move on to the real
world, take your love and passion
for sports with you.
Even if you move away from
your hometown, find a local high
school team to support. The cou-
ple of bucks you will spend will
be well worth it. There is nothing
like watching two cross-town
rivals battle it out, no matter what
the sport is.
Another way to share your love
of sports is by volunteering in a
youth league. There is always a
need for helping hands, and the
memories you will take away will
far outweigh the hours spent.
Youth leagues are sports in its
purest form. The look on a child's
face when they score a basket or
hit a home run is priceless.
When you finally settle down
and have kids, get them involved.
But, remember chances are they
won't be the next Mark McGwire.
Let them learn and have fun. If
you push too hard, they will be
turned off. Then, you will be
depriving them of experiencing
the wonderful world of sports and
the thrills of competition.
My message here is simple. In
one way or another, pass your
love of sports on to the next gen-
eration. At some point, someone
shared their love of sports with
you and now it is your turn to do
the same.
Sports have always been my
first love. Over the last four
years, I was fortunate enough to
write about them for the Call. I
can't put into words how enjoy-
able it was for me to write for this
paper every week. There are a
number of people I would like to
thank for making my time here
such a great experience.
First, I would like to thank the
entire Call staff and Dr. Barlow.
Putting this paper together
requires a great deal of time and
dedication. They are good at
what they do and made working
here enjoyable.
I need to especially thank my
sports editor, Nathan Koble. He
has done so much to improve the
sports section over the past year.
He was a joy to work for and will
make it big in this field one day.
Next, I would like to thank all of
the athletes and coaches here at
Clarion. They always took time
out for an interview and their suc-
cess has given me a lot of good
things to write about. We have a
first-class athletic program here.
Get out and support them.
I also have to thank my room-
mates, especially Chris
Dallacroce, who has been mere
since the beginning. They are the
people that I watched every game
with and talked sports with for
countless hours. I'll miss sitting
around until the wee hours of the
morning arguing over who is the
best college football team. They
have been my best critics, never
afraid to tell me when a column
stunk.
Besides writing sports for the
Call, I also played baseball here.
I want to thank Coach Herman
and all of my teammates. They
have been some of the best
friends I ever had and provided
me with a lifetime of great mem-
ories.
Next, I have to thank my advi-
sor, Mary Wilson. She taught me
so much about how to write for a
newspaper and her door was
always open when I had a prob-
lem.
I would also like to thank my
parents for always supporting me
and encouraging me when I chose
to pursue a career in journalism.
Finally, thank you to everyone
who has read my columns. I have
equally enjoyed the compliments
and criticisms. You made writing
this column fun. The great thing
about sports is everyone has their
own opinion. I enjoyed the feed-
back and the arguments. I may
not have agreed with you, but I
respected your opinions. I hope
you respected mine.
Well, my time has come. The
years I spent at Clarion were the
best of my life. I have met so
many great people that I will
never forget and have memories
that will stay with me forever.
Thank you all. I had the time of
my life.

CU possibly facing $1.7
million shortfall next year
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
A preliminary budget projection
for Clarion University for the
1999-2000 fiscal year was pre-
sented to the CU Council of
Trustees at their meeting Nov. 17.
The projection is based on the
budget request adopted by the
State System of Higher
Education. Earlier this semester,
the SSHE Board of Governors
approved a state appropriation of
$448.3 million for a proposed
total overall budget of $926.5 mil-
lion. The appropriation request is
an increase of 5.5 percent from
this academic year.
The total funding required for
the 1999-2000 year is projected at
$55,751,088, while the potential
funding available is projected at
Budget Projections 1999-2000
Funding required $55,751,088
Funding available $54,039,628

$54,039,628. The projections
point to a $1,711,460 in total
required reallocations or reduc-
tions in order to balance the bud-
get.
"We chose to be very conserva-
tive in these budget projections
based on the appropriation request
and take a 'worst case scenario,'"
said Dr. Heather Haberaecker,
vice president for finance and
administration. "It is always bet-
ter to be conservative in these type
of estimates."
"The information will continue
to be reevaluated throughout the
coming year, but a real challenge
faces us," she added.
Haberaecker noted a slight
decline in enrollment during the
current academic year after three
consecutive years of enrollment
increases as part of the reason for
the projected budget reallocations
or reductions.
According to Haberaecker, the
projected budget for the next fis-
cal year assumes an enrollment
increase of 41 Full Time
Equivalent students.
"We have a challenge facing us
in terms of enrollment, but we can
change the budget picture with an
increase in enrollment," she said.
The 1998-1999 budget for CU
stands at $53,325,100, an increase
of $1.4 million.
The major revenue source for
the University is the appropriation
from the state. The second largest
revenue source is tuition, fol-
lowed by Instructional Support
Fee dollars.

Clarion Call Assistant Managing Editor
James Brown, sportscaster for FOX Sports and
former NBA basketball player, was the featured
speaker at the Fifth Annual Social Equity Dinner
and Awards Ceremony Nov. 1 8.
The Dinner, sponsored by Student Senate and
the Office of Social Equity, is held to promote
awareness of diversity and equality on the
Clarion University campus. The theme for this
year's event was "In Pursuit of Community."
Brown addressed the audience of 300 with
humor and offered a personal insight into his life.
He told of his personal struggles to achieve suc-
cess and power during a time when people
weren't easily accepted.
He urged students that although they are part of
different organizations, to keep up on their
grades, stay involved and learn the importance of
managing time and responsibility.
Brown also told the audience that it is important

Gemmell, Chandler food
service's bad apples
TTie Clarion Call in the past has published several stories
and editorials about food service here at the University.
Students have written their fair share of Letters to the Editor
expressing disgust with their dining experience. Has DAKA
or the now Chartwells been listening?
Food service seems to be a constant hassle for students. It is
understandable that volume is going to slow service down.
But, with word of students having to wait 30 or 40 minutes or
more to get their food during the noon hour at Chandler is not
understandable. If it is that bad now, what will it be like after
Chandler is disabled by the renovations, tenatively scheduled
to begin next semester?
The meal plans themselves are another hassle for students.
One of the biggest questions heard from students is, "Why do I
have to have a meal plan with flex to eat at the Snack Bar?"
One of the answers to this question that has been tossed out by
food service is that the higher priced plan pays for the conve-
nience of the Snack Bar. How many students are paying a
"convenience tax" when eating at McDonald's or Subway?
Another hassle for students is planning their schedules around
food service's new hours. The Snack Bar is now closing at
9:30 instead of 1 1p.m., and the French Quarter Coffee Cart is
closing at 5 instead of 7 p.m.; the later times were from last
semester. Did food service ever attempt to explain these
schedule changes? How many more cutbacks can be absorbed
by the students?
While on the subject of missing explanations, why did
DAKA mysteriously change into Chartwells? Food service
has developed a shady existence. Has this change in owner-
ship indirectly caused some of the changes including the new
schedule? Food service should try to be more open and honest
with the students.
Open the lines of communication. Students have been
shouting for years, and they have only heard a whisper in
response.
Your Views
Chandler is bad,and
getting worse
I am a student at Clarion
University of Pennsylvania, and I
am very dissatisfied with the
change in food at Chandler Dining
Hall. I live on campus and pay
$690 for 19 meals a week.
Meals and the choices of food
have gone steadily downhill in the
last month. Why do we now have
pressed turkey luncheon meat
without turkey and gravy meals?
Why do we have pressed ham for
our breakfast ham and ham din-
ners? Why do we have fish so
much of the time? It is terrible to
have a choice of fried fish or
baked fish for a meal when I do
not like fish at all. Then to be
given corn dogs as our meat for
lunch, some can say 'great' but not
everyone likes them.
The standard answer given is
there are many other choices. Well
I have not had much of a choice
when the pasta has no taste, and
the spaghetti sauces are very poor
tasting. The Carvery is now non
existent, and who wants to pay
$690 to eat a sandwich every
meal. Then there comes the fact
that we are never asked what we
would like to be served. I was told
that there is a regulation that
states, there will be no salt used, i
want to see this rule in writing!
The answer usually given when
asked these questions is that the
count is down. Well no wonder
with the type of food we are
served. I know that catering is a
big business for the cafeteria but I
feel that we should be the cafete-
ria's first concern. We are forced
to pay more money and go to
other places to eat, which raises
our costs. I am not rich.
Another thing that made me mad
was that our Thanksgiving meal
was roast beef and ham (real, not
pressed for the first time in a
month) but the International stu-
dents were served turkey fresh
from the bird, WHY NOT
TURKEY FOR EVERYONE?
Why were we not given the same
courtesy?
Sincerely,
A VERY DISSATISFIED
CUSTOMER!

"It's a job you're
never quite ready for,
but you grow with
it-rapidly."
\
j
Dr. Arthur H. Barlow
Ho, ho, ho, I think it is
Christmas, even though my lawn
is growing. At least the colored
lights at night have a seasonal
flair. Part one of the academic
year is rapidly coming to a close.
For some of our students, it also
signals the close of their under-
graduate college careers.
For The Call, it signals a major
change. Kristen Davis, our
Editor-in-Chief for the past year,
will be interning the spring
semester of her senior year.
Michael Chapaloney, our current
managing editor, has been elected
editor-in-chief.
It's a seasonal change, so look
for a • new look to January's
Clarion Call. It was just last year
at this time that I signaled such a
change as Kristen was then taking
the reins from Mary Beth
Curry...andsoitgoes.
It has been a good year for The
Call. Even though we still have
mid-season changes on the
Executive Board, we maintain the
breadth of a seasoned staff. We
have maintained our committ-
ment to the publication schedule,
kept color on the cover, covered
student faculty government on a
"beat" basis and provided our
campus community with a public
forum for "civil discourse."
We also managed the newspaper
in a business-like fashion, which
has made it possible for us to pro-
vide opportunities for profession-
al development and to upgrade
our office equipment, but then we
did make a 'typo-remember?
So to our departing members;
Sports Editor, Nathan Koble,
Copy and Design Editor, Jnel
Ritzier, and Editor-in-Chief,
Kristen Davis, thank you for your
contribution to Clarion's student
newspaper and fare thee well in
the next stage of your journey.
A special accolade for Kristen —
having advised this paper for,
shall we say, "some time." Now I
know the demands the student
editor endures: deadlines, bills,
anger and resentment, legal
threats and constant criticism-the
one letter of appreciation this
semester was 'name withheld by
request.' I also know the responsi-
bilities the Editor-in-Chief
assumes-the buck stops here. It's
a job you're never quite ready for,
but you grow with it-rapidly. As I
expected, Kristen has managed
the newspaper effectively. We
have had stability. We have expe-
rienced growth in special areas.
Thank you, Kristen.
Michael has worked with her as
managing editor, and I am confi-
dent The Call will prosper.

Editorial
"...one single stu-
dent newspaper acts
as the binding tie.** "
Kristen Davis, Editor-in-Chief
I have been putting off writing
my last editorial fojever. I think
partly it was because I am a pro-
crastinator, but mostly because 1
wasn't ready to say good-bye to
The Call just yet.
I remember how I just fell into
the position of Copy and Design
Editor the beginning of my
sophomore year. Although I
lookeaWbrward to my new posi-
tion, I cringed at the thought of
giving up my entire Wednesday
night for deadline. Everyone on
the executive board was older and
wiser than me. I wasn't sure
exactly how I would fit in. But
amazingly enough, I did.
Then came the position of News
Editor for a year, and finally.
Editor-in-Chief. I don't think of
my years at The Call as moving
through different positions, how-
ever. What I do think of is the
wonderful people who I have
encountered along the way.
I think it is funny how I once
thought I wouldn't fit in at The
Call. It is hard place not to find a
fit. I still marvel at the fact that
such a diverse group of people
can become so close. And even
more amazing is the fact that one
single student newspaper acts as
the binding tie.
During my two-and-a-half
years at The Call, many people
have come and gone. And what a
mix! We had the partiers, the
studiers, the greeks, and just
about everything in between. But
when we all got together, the rest
remained irrelevant. No one had
more fun than us.
There are so many inside jokes,
so many fun trips, and so much
bonding, whether it be on a crazy
deadline night or over a game of
"I Never." I am not suggesting
that The Call executive board
members pranced through the
years holding hands and singing
"We Are The World." There were
knock-down, drag-out fights,

power trips, doomed romances between members, and some people
who just did not get along.
But we could always find a certain respect for each other in the end.
It's time for me to leave The Call. In a way, it is good for me to get
used to saying good-bye, since graduation is right around the corner.
But it is hard to imagine not being in the office on Wednesday nights.
It's hard to imagine actually having a little free time. But most of all, it
is hard to imagine being absent from what I think is the most worth-
while organization on Clarion's campus.
I cannot thank the exec board enough. You are the crudest, most won-
derful bunch of people with whom I have ever worked . I have faith in
you will keep the paper strong. Being an editor is hard enough, so keep
it fun!
Dr. Barlow, I hope you are The Call advisor for fifty more years. You
blend right in with this crowd. And you are the glue that holds the paper
together. You can't imagine how much I respect you.
The most rewarding aspect of working on The Call for me is that I
know that it will continue to thrive, and I was so blessed to have been
a part of it. There is nothing nicer than people from all different walks
of life coming together to share one common ground: The Paper.

CAMPUS ATTITUDE
Have you ever noticed how people's mood changes
before a break? I find it interesting. I wonder if the facul-
ty, staff, and students are aware of this fluctuating mood. I
had no idea how much of an emotional roller coaster col-
lege would be. I see my family every day so I don't know
what it is like to not see them for an extended period of
time. I have talked to students before and asked them why
they chose Clarion and most students responded by saying,
"I wanted to get away from my family." I guess that's why
1 find it so interesting that everyone is glad to get home dur-
ing the breaks. As for the faculty and staff, if I had to guess,
I would say hey they are just glad to get away from all of
the students and spend some quality time with their fami-
lies. It is nice to know that family is still valued, and that
this bond can somehow help us deal with finals week.
Good luck everyone.
PROFESSOR APPRECIATION
I would like to thank al the professor's I have had for class
in the past and the ones I will have in the future. It seems
to me that the exceptional people who teach us every day
are not acknowledged enough. I have had class with other
students who seem to think that the professor give them a
grade. I believe that the students earn their grade, and that
the professor assigns that grade without any inclination. If
you think about it, before -you pass judgment, professors
have spent many hours studying also. Most professors pos-
sess a great deal of empathy fa the students. Whether or
not you get the grade you want depends on the amount of
effort you put forth. It is unfair to hold them accountable
for the grades you receive. I really feel that the student
body is surrounded by remarkable people who aren't
shown the appreciation they deserve. I would like to give
credit where credit is due.

Finally, thanks are due to Brian Dunn and Suzanne

year - in a house complete with music, a hot tub, and
a great housemate. That first year I had around 180
students, no chance to teach an upper-level course,
and was homesick for my husband, our
Newfoundland, and our forty acres in Wisconsin.
Without this invitation, I would probably have
resigned at the end of the year. And I would have
missed so much! Yours sincerely, Jean P. Rumsey
Thirteen brothers from Theta Xi fraternity lent a hand in keeping Clarion clean. It was early
in the morning, and the general attitude was less than enthusiastic, but the job was done quickly
and without complaining. The road, as a whole, wasn't that dirty to begin with, but there were
some areas of route 322 that needed help. After each group finished their designated section of
the road, it looked much better. Most of the bags were full of crushed cans and discarded ciga-
rette packages, though an old tire and radio were retrieved from the side of the road as well.
Starting in the middle of the summer break, the brothers of Theta Xi started to gather unwant-
ed clothing for the annual Theta Xi clothing drive. When it came time to bring in our collec-
tion, it was almost overwhelming. Both brothers and regular Clarion townspeople helped us
achieve our goal. Around 200 various clothes items were collected and taken to Goodwill
Industries.

Book Center evaluation team answers to CS A Board
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
The Clarion Students' Association
(CSA) operates a "really fine book-
store," according to preliminary
results announced Tuesday after-
noon at the meeting of the CSA
Board of Directors.
Evaluators from the National
Association of College Stores were
roaming through University Book
Center (UBC) earlier this week to
evaluate the overall performance of
the operation.
According to Tommi Taylor, one
of the evaluators, "We have no
major red flags to raise up about
major problems."
The team has a workbook, with a
set of six criteria, with which to
evaluate any bookstore. The areas
of evaluation are: relationship with
community, if management or
organization is sufficient to meet
the needs of students, evaluation of
operating procedures, inventory
management, merchandising, and
financial operations.
A lengthy discussion followed
over the issue of textbook procing.
Taylor told the Board, "Your book-
store is leading the way in terms of
pricing... their prices are well within
industry standards and well below
in some cases."
Taylor elaborated about the
UBC's pricing policy. She said if
the cost to the book center is under
$49.99, the book is priced for the
store to achieve a 25% gross mar-

Finally, chairman Chapaloney

After clerical corrections were
made, Chapaloney asked the mem-

New committee formed to improve relations
between CU and surrounding community
by Mark Strieker
Clarion Call Staff Writer
With the creation of the
Community Relations
Committee, the lines of communi-
cation between the University and
surrounding community are now
formally open.
The function of the committee is
to offer recommendations to the
president by bringing together
representatives with an interest in
Clarion University and its impact
on the surrounding Clarion area.
The committee is co-chaired by
Clarion Borough Mayor Robert
Yoho and the Vice President for
Advancement Harry Tripp. There
are 13 standing members repre-
senting the university and local
community and seven resource
persons.
"I think everyone was pleased
that it will start a formal process.
We've already identified ways we
work together," said Tripp.
"We know the University is key
10 this town," said Yoho, "We've
got to keep a very positive rela-
tionship between town and
'gown'."
The committee will provide a
written report at the close of the
fiscal year regarding the universi-
ty's response to the State System
of Higher Education Community
Relations Policy.
Policy objectives include pro-
moting host communities eco-
nomic and community develop-
ment, minimizing the burden of
municipal services provided to the
university, consulting with the
community at appropriate levels
of university planning.
Other objectives include com-
municating with community offi-
cials regarding university decision
making, council of trustees' agen-
da, public events and student pro-
grams.
At the first meeting in October,
safety concerns were expressed
about unregulated student housing
outside of the Clarion Borough
limits on Fifth Avenue. Concerns
were raised about walking on
highways at night because of the
lack of sidewalks, alcohol abuse
and its impact on students and res-
idents in this area.
Sub-committees were also
formed and assignments were
made at the first meeting. Dr.
Heather Haberaecker will chair
the Parking sub-committee. Ed
Biertempfel and Denise Mehta
will co-chair the Main Street
Business sub-committee. Off
Campus Housing is co-chaired by
Barry Morris and Bob Ragon.
Eric Shaffer and Ron Martinazzi
co-chair the Police sub-commit-
tee.
Any students interested in join-
ing these sub-committees should
contact the sub-committee chairs
or Ron Wilshire.
Wilshire said, "I think the com-
mittee will provide a good oppor-
tunity for the University and com-
munity to talk about some impor-
tant issues."

Student Senate
Chandler renovations questioned by Senators
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
During their last meeting of the
semester, Student Senate gave
early Christmas gifts to
University Theatre and the
Sociology Club in the form of
more than $6,000 in allocations.
University Theatre received
$5,420 from the supplemental
account in order for some mem-
bers to attend the American
College Theatre Festival (ACTF)
in Huntingdon, Pa. in
January.
Theatre director Robert Levy
spoke to the Senators and told
them that their production of
'The Servant of Two Masters'
was selected to appear at festival.
Levy said that Clarion's is one of
only 35 university productions in
the nation to be awarded.
The original request was for
$4,420, but the announcement of
'Servant* being selected, more
funding was necessary to allow
10 more students to attend the
festival.
Levy noted that they have been
assured of support from the
College of Arts and Sciences, and
they are seeking funding from
other University sources as well.
In other appropriations news,
Senate voted to allocate $753.70
to the Sociology Club for a year-
ly operating budget.
Treasurer Leslie Suhr told her
colleagues that the organization
did not submit a budget last year
because of "restructuring prob-
lems," but said those problems
have been corrected and they
have more than the required
number of members in order to
receive funds.
Prior to the approval of the allo-
cations, Suhr read the current
account totals to Senate. There is
$122,000 in the Capital Account,
$116,984 in the Large-Item
Capital account, $40,603 in the
Supplemental Account, and
$34,353 in the Supplemental
Reserve Account.
In other news, questions were
directed to Bonny Spence, chair
of the Dining Committee, and Dr.
George Curtis, vice president for
student affairs and Senate advi-
sor, about the forthcoming reno-
vations to Chandler Dining Hall.

and the Executive Committee has
been restructured.
After the board approves the
amendments, they next must be
approved by Student Senate next
semester. Because these by-law
amendments affect the CSA con-
stitution, there is a need for a stu-
dent referendum in order for the
by-laws to be fully approved.

with their choices and decisions that they make about
one another.
In addition to Brown's speech, five awards were
given to individuals and groups that demonstrated
support in promoting social equity and equality on
campus and in the nearby community.
The Outstanding Community Award went to Karen
Pope, executive director of the Clarion Chamber of
Business and Industry for the Chamber's efforts in
promoting cultural awareness.
The Outstanding Supporter Award went to Dr.
Marilynn Mikolusky, Dean of Student Life Services.
The Special Group Award went to the Presidential
Commission on the Status of Women who has
worked to promote equality of women on campus
and community functions.
The Outstanding Student Award was presented to
Karl Singleton, a graduate student who works in the
Minority Student Services office. The Equity Award
was given to Shelly Silvis, who also works in
Academic Support Services. This award is present-
ed to an individual who works in promoting equali-
ty, equity and justice in many ways.
There were several poetry readings given by CU
students who wanted to share their thoughts with the
audience. Danee Riggs and John McKeever read
poems which shared the beliefs they have from an
inside view.
Other performances came from the Lift Every
Voice Gospel Choir, Clarion International
Association, and PROUD (People Reaching Out and
Understanding Disabilities).
Dr. Diane Reinhard, CU president, showed her
gratitude of the Social Equity event and was pleased
as to how involved students have become in promot-
ing such awareness through athletic involvement,
campus organizations, and community connections.
Naqeeb Hussain, chair of Student Senate's Student
Relations Committee, said he was pleased with the
event's turnout and the progress made in raising
interest to the rest of the CU student body.
"I am very pleased at the number of students who
have come out to support such an event," he noted.
The ceremony was the close of a week's worth of
events for Social Equity Week and was sponsored
through contributions from Mr. Robert Carlson,
Intercollegiate Athletics; Dr. Jocelind Gant, Office of
Social Equity; Dr. Headier Haberaecker, vice presi-
dent for finance and administration; Dr. John Kuhn,
Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs, the
Office of the President and Dr. John Shropshire,

Faculty Senate
Haberaecker answers more budget questions
by Angela Everly
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Dr. Heather Haberaecker, vice
president for finance and adminis-
tration, spoke at Monday after-
noon's Faculty Senate meeting
about the importance of having a
reserve in the Clarion University
budget.
"It is important to have a
reserve," she said. Haberaecker
also referred to the reserves as
being a "safety valve." Until the
last few years the University did
not have a reserve. So far
President Reinhard and Dr.
Haberaecker have been able to
build up to approximately $1 mil-
lion dollars in two separate
reserve accounts.
The reserve money now being
built is extremely important to the
university because it will no
longer have to depend on the
money from the state from enroll-
ment.
The President of the University
makes the decision as to how the
reserve money is spent.
Dr. Scott Kuehn, Faculty Senate
secretary, reported to Senate on
the recent "hits" that he has
received on the web site where the
Faculty Senate's minutes are post-
ed. This small investigation was
prompter by a recent concern
voiced by Dr. Jeanne Slattery at
the Nov. 23 meeting.
Slattery was worried that facul-
ty members were not aware of the
location of meeting minutes on
the site. Kuehn said he was able
to put a counter on the web page,
and enabled Senate to keep a
record of people viewing the
page.
In other business, Chair of
Committee on Courses and
Programs of Study (CCPS), Dr.
Elizabeth McDaniel, addressed
Faculty Senate with course dele-
tions and recommendations for
curricular proposals.
The Department of Education
requested course deletions of the
following courses: ECH 333:

Music also requested approval
of course deletions, they are as
follows: MUS 133: Music
MUS 236 which will be deleted at
the end of the Spring 1999 semes-
ter.
The Department of Music and
CCPS also requested the

New lab in Marwick-Boyd geared
toward multimedia applications
by Danielle Boccio
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The computer information sci-
ence, communication and art
departments collaborated and
opened up a new multimedia
design studio located in Marwick-
Boyd at the beginning of this
semester.
This new lab is geared toward
multimedia applications. Art,
CIS, and communication majors
will all have programs targeted
towards their fields.
The lab allows for in-class
instruction with a top quality pro-
jection s-ystem, and hands-on
classwork, where professors can
view a student's progression each
class period.
The equipment in the lab con-
sists of approximately five
Macintoshes, and five PC's,
whtfh contain the latest programs
and upgrading systems.
Each computer has either inter-
nal or external Zip storage as well
as regular disk storage.
The computers allow both audio
and digital work to be done.
When the idea of the lab became
a reality, the next step was where
it was to be located. G-83 Becker
and 108 Marwick-Boyd were both
discussed.
Eventually, Marwick-Boyd was
chosen to be redone by Clarion

nel. They carpeted floors, helped

In brief,
Roberts part of PSU summer
Brian Roberts, an instructor of English at Clarion University of
Pennsylvania participated in the summer program at Penn State
University. He lectured at the DuBois Campus of Penn State
University during June and July.
Roberts stated, 'I taught contemporary African American literature.
Roberts was hosted by DuBois campus to lecture on "Teaching Black
Poets in the classroom" before his selection as a minority scholar-in-
residence.
Other well known selections of the program included Bernard Bell,
a well known African American literature critic, Mae G. Henderson,
and Nellie McKay. Roberts commented, "It was wonderful for me to
be considered in this group of scholars."
Roberts had access to their library and state of the art multimedia
room which enabled him to present all types of technology in his
classroom presentations." I really enjoyed my experience. It was
pleasant and enriching for me and enabled me to use all my areas of
expertise," he also stated.
Roberts is currently working on his Ph.D. at Indiana University of
Pennsylvania.
Rourke publishes his first book
One of Clarion University's own has now become a published
author. Dr. Thomas Rourke, an assistant professor of political sci-
ence, has published his first book. The tide of the book it "A
Conscience as Large as the World: Yves R. Simon vs. the Catholic
Neoconservatives."
The focus of the book is on debates within Catholic social thought.
Neoconservatives are trying to push Catholic though to support con-
temporary capitalism. Rourke argues, in the book, that the tradition-
al Catholic reservations about capitalism and its impact on democra-
cy need to be emphasized more rather than abandoned.
Rourke's interest in social justice and Catholic thought prompted
him to write his dissertation about this debate. 'The book was an out-
growth of my doctoral dissertation," says Rourke, who obtained his
doctoral degree from Texas Tech University. His dissertation received
an award from the American Political Science Association for the best
dissertation in the field. This award is what attracted the publishers'
(Rowan and Littlefield Publishers Inc.) attention and made them want
to publish the book.

Smoking on the rise among college students
by Christine 'latum
College Press Service
The number of cigarette smok-
ers on college campuses is rising,
jumping 28 percent in four years
and prompting researchers to
warn that tobacco-related illness-
es could continue on the upswing.
A recent study, conducted by
researchers at Harvard University,
compared surveys of more than
14,000 students at 116 colleges
nationwide in 1993 and 1997.
Last year, 28.5 percent of students
reported smoking up from 22.3
percent in 1993.
The findings aren't much of a
surprise given that smoking
already had risen among teenagers
by 32 percent in the 1990s. Once
those teens hit college, smoking
rates naturally rose in academia,
too. The study found that the vast
majority of college smokers
picked up the habit in high school;
only 11 percent took their first
drag after the age of 18.
"It seems like everyone
smokes," said Caryn Rousseau, a
junior at the University of
Missouri who has tried smoking
but said she doesn't like it. "It's a
social thing that some people do
all the time and a lot of people do
just when they drink."
Healthcare professionals say
mere's often a high price to pay
for that kind of socializing.
Smoking is the nation's leading
preventable cause of death and
disease. The government says it
kills more than 400,000
Americans each year and causes a
variety of health problems,
including premature labor, lung
and bladder cancer, heart disease
and impotence.
"College kids don't think about
that stuff," said Claire
Weingarden, a sophomore at
Syracuse University who has tried
smoking but avoided making it a
habit. "We don't sleep. We don't
exercise. We eat terrible food, and
we drink like it's our job."
All the more reason to kick the
habit or refrain from ever picking
it up, said Dr. Halina Brukner,
director of the University of
Chicago's primary care group.
"Even the most intelligent, high-
achieving students really don't
believe they are going to die," she
said. "In a sense, they are smok-
ing because it makes a statement
The number of
cigarette smokers
on college
campuses is up 28
percent over the
past four years.
that they are immortal. It's a
rebellion and an adolescent defi-
ance that even they know it bad
for them."
"Students have heard the med-
ical data," she continued. "But
heart disease is something so dis-
tant to them; it's something their
grandparents get, not their
friends."
Further complicating the prob-
lem is that many students don't
consider themselves to be smok-
ers if they only take a drag only
occasionally, like at bars or during
weekend parties, Brukner said.
It's rationalizing and delusional
for students to think of themselves
and their friends as only "social
smokers," she said.
"A smoker is a smoker," she
said. "The health effects are accu-
mulative, so it doesn't matter
whether you smoke seven ciga-
rettes over the course of a week,
or seven in one day. Doctors con-
sider the number of packs you
smoked over the number of years.
It's the number of cigarettes you
consume over time that matters.
"Sure, (infrequent) smokers are
at a lower risk of getting addict-
ed," she continued. "But because
this is an addictive substance and
the threshold for getting addicted
is so low, we know their need to
have it starts increasing. They
may feel they show that in gener-
al, once people start smoking,
they need to smoke more and
more."
Jason Thomas, a sophomore
smoker at the University of Iowa,
knows that feeling. He first tried
smoking when he was a junior in
high school. At first he managed
to limit his smoking to weekends
only, but found that increasingly
difficult once he reached the uni-
versity.
"I'm hooked, and I admit it," he
said. "I started because it was just
something to do. I guess I thought
it looked cool or kind of sophisti-
cated. To be honest, I can't say an
exact reason.
That's the irony, Brukner said.
Many students smoke because of
the cool image they think they're
projecting. Yet they don't seem to
think about their bad breath, yel-
lowed teeth, deep coughs or
clothes and hair that reek of
smoke.
"I'd love to see billboards and
ad campaigns that say, 'Gee, your
breath really stinks,' or 'Your
clothes smell terrible,'" she said.
"Because that's what smoking
does to a person whether they like
it or not. I have seen adults who
are embarrassed to tell me that
they've smoked for years, and
when they do, they almost always
say, 'That was so stupid. I wish I
had never done it.'"
Thomas said he plans to kick his
smoking habit before he gradu-
ates.
"I'm young," he said. "I'm not
worried about it."
Quitting is rarely easy, doctors
say. According to the Harvard
study, half of college smokers
reported that they've tried to stop
in the previous year, and 18 per-
cent had made five or more
attempts to beat their addiction,

Why do college students watch wrestling?
Clarion Students Sound off
on Professional Wrestling
by Jeff Say
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
Monday nights on college
campus's used to be reserved
for Monday Night Football
but that has all changed with
the rise in popularity of pro-
fessional wrestling. Yes,
even on the Clarion campus
students huddle around their
televisions to see the latest
battles between Stone Cold
Steve Austin, The
Undertaker, Kane, The Rock,
Sting, Goldberg, Hollywood
Hogan and hundreds more.
Why does watching a bunch
of grown men battling each
week appeal to college stu-
dents?
Everywhere we look we are
assailed on all sides by
wrestling and their incessant
cross marketing endeavors.
From t-shirts to cd's to even
new WWF cologne for men
and women wrestling is tak-
ing the country by storm.
Why do Clarion students
love or hate wrestling?
According to Matt Smith,
sophomore here at Clarion,
"Wrestling is the male soap
opera", maybe thats why stu-
dents are flocking to see the
newest developments in the
feud between WCW and
NWO, it provides us with
must needed outlet for pent
up aggresion. Jeff Borczk a
junior communications major
says, "It gives us a chance to
get away from our problems
and take *but our anger
through the characters in
wrestling. Instead of taking
my aggresion out on someone
else I'd much rather watch
two grown men fight on t.v."
Wrestling isn't all about
anger and aggresion though;
some people watch it for the
laugh's, according to Tim
Connors, a freshmen, "Look at
some of the plot lines, a pimp
and porn star as a tag team,
now tell me that isn't off the
wall. Now that's comedy."
Mike Cody, sophomore adds
"It's harmless entertainment,
it's centered around subjects
that affect us but younger
viewers shouldn't be allowed
to watch because it is more
mature now than it was years
ago.
Most students grew up
watching wrestling as a child
and have jumped back on the
band wagon as popularity as
risen in the 90's. Kevin
Kennedy stated, "Most peo-
ple have watched for years, it
never takes a break. It shows
everyday life and it acts out
every guys fantasy of beating
up someone else and not get-
ting in trouble for it." Cody
agrees, "Most of us grew up
with wrestling now they are
trying to appeal to college
students with more adult ori-
ented plots so there is more
action for us." According to
Mike Chapaloney "I used to
watch it as a child but the
only reason I watch it now is
because my roommate has it
on all the time."
It may be the male soap
opera but women students
watch it too, Alyssa Grande a
senior communications major
has this view on wrestling, "I
watch because it's a rush and
I grew up with it, you took
Hulk Hogan vitamins didn't
you?"
The Call staff is no differ-
ent, with the a few small
exceptions, according to
George Groff wrestling
appeals to college students
because "wrestling is a crazy
way of life, somewhat like
college." Tim Bowerman
feels that wrestling appeals
to students because it's vio-
lent and humorous. Chris
Pfeil agrees that it's just a
soap opera with glorified vio-
lence. Keith Gwillim dis-
agrees and feels that
wrestling is a sore on society.
"It's pathetic to watch these
flabby middle aged men
parade around on stage like
complete fools."
Wrestling fans in the
Clarion area will soon have a
hometown hero to cheer for
in the WWF. Clarion's own
Kurt Angle recently signed a
contract to wrestle for the
World Wrestling Federation
and will soon appear in the
ring with his first "per-
formance" being in his own
back yard, Pittsburgh in mid
January. Most Clarion stu-
dents will remember Angle
from his Olympic gold medal
in 1996 but he isn't the first
true sports personality
to cross over to the world of
professional wrestling. The
first to do it way back in
1985 was William Perry of
the Chicago Bears. One of
the more popular wrestlers
now is Bill Goldberg a for-
mer football player with the
Atlanta Falcons.
Wrestling fans are the some
of the most rabid in "sports"
and what would a wrestling
article be without fans listing
their personal favorites?
After an extensive survey the
votes are in and the winner
is, "OH HELL YEAH" Stone
Cold Steve Austin.

by Keith Gwillim
Assistnat Lifesyles Editor
10)Propellerheads
Decksanddrumsandrockandroll.
(4 out of 5). What a mouthful
and an earfull!! Bursting with
wonderfully funky beats, this
English duo is writing the future
of techno. With a wicked sense
of humor the Propellerheads rip
through music's back issues, tak-
ing what they want. With guest
artists ranging from hip-hop act
De La Soul, to pop icon Shirley
Bassey, there's a new style in
every song. The centerpiece of
the album is their reworking of
John Barry's "On Her Majesty's
Secret Service," and is ripe with
stereophonic experiments,
screaming horn sections, and
groovy bass lines. This is the
future of electronica, not the
punkish clamor of the Prodigy.
9)Pulp - This Is Hardcore. (4
out of 5). No, it isn't. This
quirky British group fashions
anything but hard-core music.
In fact, it's impossible to pin an
exact musical style on this
album. Pulp runs the gamut
from Kinks guitar rock, to David
Bowie-like glam rock, to dance
club ready synth jams. Singer
Jarvis Cocker has some of the
most literal lyrics in pop today;
and can go from a Burt
Bacbarach-like croon to a sinis-
ter hiss in a heartbeat. Cocker
immerses you in British culture,
as he sings about everything
from his fame to England's
social class structure, this Is
Hardcore is a tongue in cheek
trip through England's musical
history, and points the way
towards britpop's future.
8) The Smashing Pumpkins -
Adore. (4 out of 5). It's not the
electronica fueled album they
promised , but Adore expands
the Pumpkin's musical grasp by
far; boasts Billy Corgan's
strongest set of songs yet, and
de-thrones Siamese Dream as
their best album. Adore is a
complete recovery from the con-
fused and jumbled mess of
Mellon Collie... which failed out-
right to be their epic. But epic
sounding is just what they've
accomplished on Adore, which is
paradoxical, since it's their most
personal album to date.
Preferring not to sing about "rats
in cages" and various other
grunge cliche" s, Corgan has made
a disc as moody and atmospheric
as any Joy Division record, and
has enfused just enough pop to
keep it from being self-absorbed.
From the malevolent drone of
"Ava Adore" to the synth pop of
"Perfect," the Pumpkins are in
top form.
7) Hooverphonic - Blue
Wonder Power Milk. (4 out of
5). The title doesn't mean any-
thing, and it's not important.
What is important is how
Hooverphonic completely rein-
vented themselves from a com-
monplace trip-hop outfit into a
symphony and synth wielding
pop group. Pop is just what it is;
throw rock out the window. The
Belgian quintet, now with lead
vocalist Geike Arnaert draws
heavily from 60's pop, much like
Sweden's The Cardigans, but
Hooverphonic forgoes the
kitsch inclinations of that group.
The album bursts with lush
string arrangements married per-
fectly with exultant keyboards.
The lyrics are God-awful if
taken literally; but like dream
pop artists the Cocteau Twins,
it's the sound of the words that
matters, not the meaning. Dim
the lights (and your brain), and
let Blue Wonder Power Milk
reign.
6) Dave Matthews Band -
Before These Crowded Streets.
(4 1/2 out of 5). Dave must not
want to sell a lot of records
nowadays, if BTCS is any indi-
cation. Filled with long and
complicated jam sessions, paired
with some very dark lyrics
makes BTCS their least accessi-
ble album. On the opening cut,
Matthews sings "Come and relax
now; lay your troubles down,"
but then launches into a furious
tirade against prejudice a few
tracks later, on "The Last Stop."
Their instrumentation prowess is
nothing short of amazing; with
the virtuoso violin playing of
Boyd Tinsley, and the super-tight
rhythm section of Stefan Lessard
and Carter Beauford. If
Matthews had provided a better
musical bed for his band, there
wouldn't be any crumbs between
the sheets.

The official holiday gift guide
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist
Each year as we set to work on our
annual Holiday Gift Guide, we
find ourselves thinking about the
timeless lesson contained in A
Christmas Carol," the heartwarm-
ing motion picture by Charles
Dickens.
As everyone knows, the story
begins on Christmas Eve, when
poor, mild-mannered Bob
Cratchit. a lowly scrivener and the
father of something like 83 chil-
dren, wants to go home early
because he has tickets to the hock-
ey game. But his employer, the
mean old miser Ebenezer Scrooge,
insists that Bob work late, because
Scrooge is dying to find out what
scrivenining" is.
Later that night, Scrooge goes
home and falls asleep, only to be
awakened by a terrifying, unearth-
ly howling sound. This turns out to
be a commercial for a Slim
Whitman CD. So Scrooge turns
off the television and goes back to
sleep, only to be awakened by the
Ghost of Christmas Past, who tells
Scrooge that he will be visited by
the Ghost of Christmas Present,
the Ghost of Christmas Future,
and a Ghost To Be Named Later.
These ghosts spend the rest of the
night reviewing Scrooge's entire
life with him, then explaining to
him, using charts, the benefits of
becoming an Amway representa-
tive.
Horrified. Scrooge staggers from
his house at dawn, resolved to
mend his ways. He rushes over to
Bob Cratchit's house with
Nintendo 64 games for all the chil-
dren. He also brings a fine, fat
Christmas goose, but it starts eat-
ing the figgy pudding and Mrs.
Cratchit has to kill it with a ham-
mer. But the story ends on a happy
note as the youngest Cratchit, Tiny
Tim, places a star on the very top

words that truly express the mean-

How come we have a Christmas
tree? We're Jewish!"
Here at Holiday Gift Guide
headquarters, no matter how many
times we hear this heartwarming
story, we always say to ourselves:
"Huh?" And that sentiment, more
than any other, expresses our
mood as we go about the task of
creating our annual Gift Guide. As
in previous years, we have made
every effort to gather together, in
one place, the very finest gift ideas
in the enure world, regardless of
cost, unless it is more than $35.
These are not your
ordinary gifts: These are gifts that
the lucky people on your gift list
will never in a million years
expect to receive. And when they
do, they may take legal action.
SNO-BALLER HIGH-TECH
SNOWBALL MAKING DEVICE
S9.95 plus shipping and handling
from Peak Ski & Sport, 230 S.
Hale Ave., Escondido, CA 92029,
phone (800) 550-7669. Suggested
by Laura Paul of Minooka, 111.
It is a tragic but true fact that in
this modern day and age — an age
of thrilling technological
advances such as lasers, comput-
ers, cellular phones, pacemakers,
motorized Pez dispensers, etc. -
many youngsters, right here in our
so-called "civilized" society, are
still forced to make their
snowballs by hand.
But these barbaric times may soon
come to an end, thanks to the
"Sno-Baller." This amazing
device, made of space-age plastic,
enables your child to make per-
fectly spherical snowballs without
having his or her hands come into
direct physical contact with the
snow. According to the manufac-
turer, Sno-Baller snowballs
"explode on impact and don't hurt
like hand-packed snowball'."
DO-IT-YOURSELF COFFINS
FOR PETS AND PEOPLE
$14.95plus shipping and han-
dling from Woodcraft, P.O. Box
1686, Parkersburg, WVA
26102-1686, phone (800) 225-
1153. Suggested by many alert
readers.
This book, which we swear on
our grave we are not making up,
contains plans and instructions
showing how to make your own
coffins for people or animals.
There are several different models,
including one that "doubles as a
blanket chest or coffee table."
What a practical idea! Imagine the
pride that the Do-It- Yourselfer on
your gift list will take in display-
ing his handiwork to guests! ("I
made this coffee table for me, and
this blanket chest for Francine. In
fact, Francine is in there right
now!")
U.S. MILITARY WEATHER
BALLOON
$14.97 plus shipping and handling
from The Sportsman's Guide, 411
Farwell Ave., So. St. Paul, Minn.
55075, phone (800) 888-3006, fax
(800) 333-6933. Item L8G-29408.
If you ask us, the element that
makes any party "extra special" is
balloons. The problem is that, until
recently, the balloons available to
the civilian public have been
pathetically small: You have to
blow up dozens of them to create
any kind of visual impact.
Well, that is no longer the case.
Now you can purchase an actual
weather balloon, originally devel-
oped by the U.S. military to pro-
vide a cover story for alien space-
craft. This is not some weenie lit-
tle balloon that you can bat around
or pop by stomping on it. This bal-
loon, when fully inflated, mea-
sures 12 feet high and 36 feet in
circumference — nearly as large
as tenor Luciano Pavarotti
"PHALLOBLASTER" INSECT-
GENITALIA INFLATER
(Including five pairs of different
phalloblaster forceps) Aus$4,000
(Australian dollars), plus shipping,
from Dr. Marcus Matthews,
CSIRO Division of Entomology,
GPO Box 1700, Canberra ACT
2601, Australia, phone (intl code)
61.2.6246.4281, fax (intl code)
61 .2.6246.4264; e-mail: mar-
cusm@ento.csiro.au. Suggested
by Gloria Truitt of Longboat Key,
Fla.
Every now and then, the scien-
tific community comes up with a
concept that makes us shake our
heads in wonder.
We wonder, "is the scientific
community smoking?"
That question is very much on our
minds as we consider the
Phalloblaster, a device pioneered
by Australian insect scientist Dr.
Marcus Matthews for the purpose
of inflating the genitalia of dead
insects. We swear we are not mak-
ing this up.
As you are no doubt aware, when
you're trying to identify an insect,
one important characteristic that
you go by is the shape of the
insect's genitalia. However, as Dr.
Matthews notes, "the shape of the
genitalia is partially lost once the
insect is dead."
So Dr. Matthews, whose job
involves identifying the coflon-
eating moths of Australia, got
some engineers to design and
build the Phalloblaster. In layper-
son's terms, what this device does
is ... well, let's just say that it is not
I
for nothing that the phalloblaster is
sometimes called "the White
House intern of the entomology
lab."
If you're one of the thousands
of people who have been inflating
dead-insect genitalia in the old-
fashioned way you are going tc
love this item.
BUG TOP
$512.98 plus shipping and han-
dling from Harriet Carter, Dept.
28, North Wales, PA 19455, phone
(800) 377-7878. Suggested by
Kathy Barr of Hagerstown, Md.
This is the ideal gift for the per-
son on your gift list who wishes to
be able to laugh at bloodsucking
insects. The Bug Top — which is
made from 100 percent material of
some kind — covers your entire
upper body, including your face, in
a protective netting, so that mos-
quitoes cannot get in. "Ha ha!"
you can say to them, as they dart
angrily around your head, whining
their high-pitched mosquito curs-
es. But the Bug Top is not merely
practical. It has also become a
popular fashion accessory among
top Hollywood celebrities, who
have taken to wearing their Bug
Tops all the time, including to
cocktail parties and swank restau-
rants. "Ha ha!" they say to the
pesky autograph-seekers and
agents futilely hurling their bodies
against the netting. It is our under-
standing that at the height of the
'Titanic" craze, Leonardo
DiCaprio refused to come out of
his Bug Top for 37 consecutive
days; this broke Barry Manilow's
record by nearly a week.

How It Feels To Be Something On. (4
1/2 out of 5). What else can be said
but that it is the definitive emo-core
rock album? Tortured, cathartic,
monolithic, heart- wrenching.. .all
come close to describing this album,
but to truly understand, you must lis-
ten. A weird hybrid of Radiohead,
70's progressive rock, and emo rock
of years past, H1FTBSO hits emo-
tional highs and incredible lows, as
evidenced by singer Jeremy Enigk's
tales of loss, remorse, and pain. He
moans, yelps, and all-out screams his
way through his morbid creations,
and beats out any goth-rock band in
the sadness department A tough but
very rewarding listen.
4) Garbage - Version 2.0. (4 1/2 out
of 5). Garbage may be mainstream
alternative rock's last great hope, and
considering that Version 2.0 didn't
live up to commercial expectations,
what does that tell you? At any rate,
it may not have sold well, but it did
surpass all artistic expectations.
Leaving behind the thudding and
grungier guitars of their debut,
Version 2.0 goes for more program-
ming and synth arrangements. It
sounds like Blondie on steroids. The
songwriting is more consistent here
than their first effort, and the produc-
tion is immaculate. Butch Vig has
become much more adept at sam-
pling, taking Brian Wilson's (The
Beach Boys) "Don't Worry Baby"
and twisting it into the sinister alterna-
masterpiece "Push It" Of course, the
album wouldn't be the same without
Shirley Manson. She can chew up
and spit out any other female rock
vocalist, and is not only the record's
heart, but the rusty nail through it
3) Seal- Human Being. (4 1/2 out
of 5). The best singer working today,
when he's actually working.
Although he's been in the business
over 10 years, he has but three albums
to his name. Human Being doesn't
qualify as his best album, (look at his
sophomore effort for that) but it is a
soulful and enthralling set. On the
title cut he starts off uttering the lyrics
in a breathy whisper, and by the time
the first chorus has rolled around, he
seems to be drawing energy from
some unseen well inside of him.
Deeply spiritual in its lyrics, and
dense with countless layers of instru-
ments, both acoustic and electric,
Human Being is an excellent offering
from an artist who refuses to be
pegged into any one category. Seal
does falter at times; "Princess" is just
too candy-cane sweet and his lyrics
sometimes fall into cliches, but the
highlights shine so bright you're
blinded to the lows.
2) Autour de Lucie - Immobile. (5
out of 5). Autour de what? There's a
very good reason you've never heard
of this band - they're French and
proud of it With a look, sound, and
attitude that is defianUy un-american
(not to mention that all their lyrics are
in French), Autour de Lucie is a
much needed breath of fresh air in the
USA's stagnant music scene. The
guitars are straight out of a lo-fi
record, and singer Valerie Leulliot
projects with supreme confidence.
This is a complete turnaround from
their previous album, which con-
tained paper-thin rhythms and
Leulliot's wanna-be chanteuse pos-
ing. Several songs feature program-
ming, which disqualifies it as lo-fi, so
perhaps the best way to describe it is
well-produced indie pop. Think
Velocity Girl crossed with Liz Phair
and Sebadoh, and you've got an idea
of the vibe. The melodies are not
quite poppy, but somehow work their
way under your skin. "Chanson sans
issue (ne vois-tu pas)" will have you
singing along (quite poorly, unless
you speak French) immediately. The
only way I could possibly enjoy
Immobile more is if I could under-
stand what the hell they were saying.
Is it an instant classic? Oui!!
1) Massive Attack -Mezzanine. (5
out of 5). The torch-bearers of die
genre known as trip-hop, which com-
bines elements of urban, alternative
rock, techno, and jazz; Massive
Attack have recorded their master-
piece with Mezzanine. It is easily the
darkest material they have ever
recorded to disc, and it drags you
down into its subterranean world with
endlessly relentless beats, swirling
rhythms, and eerie melodies.
Pounding, dirty guitar riffs inter-
twined perfectly with the creeping
synthesizer and prograrnming tech-
niques come in wave after wave;
leaving your ears gasping for breath.
Considering that the very nature of
trip-hop calls for laid-back structures,
it's even more of a testament to their
skills that they've been able to craft
such a tight album, even when forgo-
ing traditional song formats. Even
the absence of vocalist Tricky (he's
fully jettisoned himself from the
group) doesn't hurt the album, main-
ly due to the guest vocalists, such as
the Cocteau Twins's Liz Fraser. On
the highlight of the album, the epic
slow-burner 'Teardrop", her sweet
voice adds considerable warmth to
the practiced beat and lulling harpsi-
chord background. Mezzanine
stands not only as Massive Attack's
defining work, but as one of the best
albums of this decade.

Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
10) Rammstein - Senschunct. (3
1/2 out of 5). These German rock-
ers burst onto the U.S.A. music
scene this summer with their mod-
est hit "Du Hast," mixing industrial
beats, heavy metal guitars and a
unique live show, they are taking
America by storm. It's never been
so fun to chant lyrics that make no
sense.
9) R.E.M. - Up. (4 out of 5).
Michael Stipe and Co. debut for the
first time without a drummer and
prove that they can still make an
insightful and simply breathtaking
album. A plus for die-hard fans is
that Stipe's lyrics are included for
the first time.
8) Hatebreed - Satisfaction is the
Death of Desire. (4 out of 5). One
word sums up this release: Brutal,
for the lovers of the new metal-
hardcore blend.
7) Fear Factory - Obsolete. (4
out of 5). This band is far from
obsolete, yet another "heavy" band
straying into the "techno" market
Fear Factory mixes metal with
haunting melodies and operatic
vocals. Mixing straight metal
tracks like "Shock" and
"Edgecrusher" with more experi-
mental tracks like "Resurrection"
and "Obsolete", they are defining a
new style of heavy music.
6) Unkle - Psynce Fiction. (4 out
of 5). Techno's gurus D.J. Shadow
and James Laville give us one of
the most critically acclaimed
albums of the year. Mixing sparse
beats and guest appearences from
Robert Ashton of The Verve and
other special guests this album is
years ahead of its time.
5) Kent - Isola. (4 out of 5).
Kent have been compared to Blur
and Radiohead, but in my opinion
just because the singers all have the
same nasal twang. With two tal-
ented guitarists creating a sonic
wall, and vocalist Joakim Berg pro-
viding the harmonies, Kent is sure
to surpass fellow Swedish band
The Cardigans in popularity.
4) Korn- Follow the Leader. (4
out of 5). Kom's third and most
successful album, Follow the
Leader, is far better than their
sophomore slump, Life is Peachy,
but still can't match their self titled
debut Dealing with alienation,
anger and persucution, singer
Jonathan Davis paints dark por-
traits of his childhood and fame.
Featuring guest spots by Ice Cube
and Cheech Marin, this is a must-
have for Korn fans.
3) Tori Amos - Songs from the
Choirgirl Hotel. (4 out of 5). An
album full of emotion and Amos'
unique vocal styling. "Rasberry
Swirl" is one of the stand out
tracks.
2) Samiam - You are Freaking
Me Out. (5 out of 5). An emo-pop
delight this album will cheer you
up anytime. Mixing pop punk with
emotional lyrics, this album is sure
j««f:x«»
to become a classic for emo kids.
1) Sunny Day Real Estate -
How it Feels to be Something On.
(5 out of 5). One of the.most antic-
ipated albums of 1998, Sunny Day
triumphanUy return from their
three-year hiatus to give their rabid
fans one more album. Straying
away from their previous alubms,
How it Feels... has been compared
to Radiohead and even the Beatles'
Revolver, mostly due to the fact
that they both use heavy Middle-
Eastern layers. Sunny Day proves
with How it Feels... that they are

Hi
ws&&^$m.
one of the true visionary groups on
the music scene today.

Clarion Call Staff Writer
10) Jimmy's Chicken Shack -
Pushing The Salmonella
Envelope. (3 1/2 out of 5).
Quirky, off-kilter and odd. These
adjectives can only begin to
describe the JCS sound. Playing
everything from metal to reggae
to shuffle beats, JCS have some-
thing for anybody crazy enough to
give them a listen.
9) Clutch - Elephant Riders. (3
1/2 out of 5). Dealing with the
deep south in the 1800's, Clutch
ventured further into groove-core
jams and southern-fried songs.
8) Korn - Follow The Leader.
(4 out of 5). I know I didn't give
Korn the greatest review earlier
in the semester, but the album
kept growing on me. What can I
say? I like Korn.
7) Sunny Day Real Estate -
How It Feels To Be Something On.
(4 out of 5). The much heralded
SDRE return to glory. Enough
said.
6) Brandston - Letterbox. (4
out of 5). One of Deep Elm
Records new stars shines through-
out this guitar rock album. While
the songs seem amateurish at
times, the energy this quartet
evokes is infectious.
5) Samiam - You are Freaking
Me Out. (4 1/2 out of 5). Post-
punk Samiam combine radio-
friendly songs with extremely
catchy choruses. Perfect music to
drive to. It's fast, fun, and heart-
felt. .
4) Anthrax - Volume 8: The
Threat Is Real. (4 1/2 out of 5).
This album surpasses any other
Anthrax album to date. The
songs are heavier, choruses catch-
ier, and lyrics more emotional.
The threat is definitely real.
3) Deep Elm Sampler - Records
For The Working Class. (4 1/2
out of 5). The album that brought
emo into my life features some of
the best emo music from the best
bands on Deep Elm Records.
Apple Seed, Cast, Camber, Pop
Unknown, Brandston, and oth-
ers shine bright.
2) Snot - Get Some. (5 out of
5). The debut from California
hardcore band Snot shows incred-
ible musicianship while taking
hardcore to a new level. It's as
heavy and dynamic as Korn, and
as crushing as Earth Crisis.
1) Def tones - Around The Fur.
(5 out of 5). Though it was
.released in- October of 1997, this
album has been glued to my stereo
for the whole past year. Mixing
hardcore with emo creating a
hybrid "adrenaline rock." This
album is hard-hitting and catchy

Angle, Moaney first in Las Vegas
By Nathan Koble
Sports Editor
Mark Angle and Jason Moaney
kept their undefeated seasons
alive while capturing first place at
the Las Vegas Invitational over
the weekend.
Angle, who is the top-ranked
grappler in the nation at 141-
pounds, ran his record to 10-0 on
the season by picking up five
wins. The Canonsburg native
took first place with a 7-2 win
over West Virginia's Whitey
Chlebove.
Moaney also recorded a 5-0
weekend, including a 9-3 triumph
over Edinboro's Josh Kosheck in
the 174-pound tide tilt.
Stan Spoor also placed for head
coach Ken Nellis, finishing sev-
enth at 149 pounds.
The Golden Eagles open their
dual season in grand fashion this
weekend, hosting No. 4 Penn
State Friday and No. 9 West
Virginia Saturday.
The Golden Eagles boast a
strong winning tradition on the
Division I level, including last
season's 8-5-1 mark and 24th-
place finish at nationals.
This year, the Eagles look for
another solid campaign.

Mark Angle, the top-ranked wrestler in the nation at 141
pounds, will lead the Golden Eagles into action this week-
end against Penn State and West Virginia.
wrestling team, especially since seasons to date, and we'll need
we return some extremely gifted their leadership to help us through
wresUers," said second-year head the season. We'll also be young at
coach Ken Nellis. "We believe a few weights, but patience and
they are ready to have their best continued improvement will be
our charted course with them. I
think the big thing is we'll have to
stay healthy this year to have a
good season."
Angle earned All- America hon-
ors at 134 pounds last season by
finishing fourth at NCAAs. He
had a 43-3 overall record and
posted wins at Las Vegas, PSACs,
and EWLs. He has a career record
of 57-6.
Also looking for time at 141 is
Chris Marshall, who missed the
1998 season due to shoulder
surgery. He is looking for a strong
comeback season. Marshall has a
quality career record of 58-18. In
1997 he was 26-8 at 134, won
PSACs and EWLs and was 1-2 at
the NCAAs. In 1996 Chris was
32-10 overall, won PSACs and
EWLs at 126 pounds, and was 3-2
at NCAAs, just missing All-
America status.
Moaney competed at 167
pounds last season and also was
an NCAA qualifier, notching a 19-
10 record. Moaney transferred to
Clarion from North Idaho
Community College.
Also returning to the Eagle line-
up with experience are Brad
Harris, John Weible, Dominic
Surra, Stan Spoor, Shane
McChesney, Aaron Mitchell, Bob
Topper, Jesse Shirey, and Ben
Boldin.
Penn State, WVU to tangle with Eagles this weekend
Penn State
Finals week may not start until Monday at Clarion University, but the
Golden Eagles face perhaps their stiffest test of the season Friday night
when No. 4 Penn State invades Tippin Gym for a 7 p.m. matchup.
The Nittany Lions are very high on the prospects of a memorable
1998-99 season. Returning four Ail-Americans and a host of other vet-
erans, the Lions hope to make a serious run at the national champi-
onship, which will be held at PSU's Bryce Jordan Center March 18-20.
The Lions will rely heavily on the talents of returning All- Americans
Jeremy Hunter (125), Jamarr Billman (149), Clint Musser (157), and
Glenn Prtizlaff( 174).
Hunter returns from a 28-6 season in which he led the Lions in dual
meet scoring with 79 points. He came within seconds of the Big Ten
title and reaching the NCAA final last year and will be a favorite to con-
tend this year. He is currently ranked No. 3 nationally.
Billman rolled to a 35-6 mark last season and was named the Big Ten
"Freshman of the Year." He led Penn State with 19 dual wins and is
ranked No. 2 in the 149 class.
Musser, ranked No. 3 at 157, was 33-5 last season, finishing second
in the Big Ten and reaching the semifinals of the NCAA championships
a year ago.
At No. 2 in the nation Glenn Pritzlaff also enters Clarion with high
expectations. His best season occurred two years ago when he was 34-
6.
West Virginia
Whether the Eagles win, lose, or draw Friday night, they will have to
put it behind them with West Virginia traveling to Clarion for a 1 p.m.
contest at Tippin Gym Saturday.
A year ago, the Eagles and Mountaineers tied at Morgantown. This
year, the Mountaineers bring a No. 9 ranking to Clarion to open the
Eastern Wrestling League season.
Despite losing middle-weight specialists Dorian Hager and Mike
Mason, WVU has enough talent returning to sport one of their most tal-
ented lineups in years.
The Mountaineers return two AU-Americans, six NCAA qualifiers, an
NCAA finalist, an EWL champion, and eight returners with experience
as starters — all from a successful 1997-98 squad that finished seventh
at the NCAA tournament and defeated seven Top 20 opponents.
Vertus Jones leads the way for WVU. The 189-pounder was a surprise
finalist at the NCAA championships last year. A two-time EWL cham-
pion, Jones is lightning fast and is ranked No. 1 in the nation.
West Virginia's other Ail-American, Whitey Chlebove, is an intense
141-pounder. His match with Clarion's Mark Angle will certainly be the
most anticipated matchup of the. day. Angle scored 7-2 win over
Chlebove at the Las Vegas Invitational last weekend.
Highly touted freshman Joe Carr will take the mat for WVU at 149
pounds. Carr finished his high school career with a whopping 242 wins.

Eagles nip Mansfield, again
By Jason Dambach
Assistant Sports Editor
■—■—————■■——»»
A common adage in the world of
sports when talking about two
rivals is, "You can throw the
records out the window when
these two teams play."
And while Mansfield may not be
to Clarion what IUP, Edinboro, or
California is, these two team are
on the "throw the records out"
level.
The game between the two
teams last Saturday night was a
perfect example as the Golden
Eagles escaped with a 68-67 win
over the visiting Mountaineers.
The victory was Clarion's sec-
ond close call against the
Mountaineers this season. On
Nov. 24 at Mansfield the Golden
Eagles won 71-69, and with
Saturday's triumph have now
beaten Mansfield four consecu-
tive times since losing to the
Mountaineers in the 1997 PS AC
Championship game.
As always, the" Golden Eagle
offense revolved around senior
guard Lormont Sharp. Sharp,
who entered the game leading the
team with a 20 points-per-game
average, led Clarion with 23
points and was the only Golden
Eagle to play all 40 minutes.
However, his most important
contribution was from the foul
line where he was a perfect six-
for-six, including two clutch free
throws with seven seconds
remaining that gave the Golden
Eagles a 67-64 advantage.
Mansfield had an opportunity to
tie the game, but the Clarion full-
court pressure forced the
Mountaineers to throw the ball out
of bounds on the inbounds play.
Sophomore R.C. Kehoe put the
game out of reach from the line
with five seconds to play by hit-
ting the first of two free throws
and putting the Golden Eagles on
top 68-64. Kehoe tied a career
high in points set the previous
Monday against Juniata with 18.
Kevin Perluke's three-point bas-
ket at the horn made the final
score 68-67 in favor of the Golden
Eagles, who won their seventh
consecutive game after a season-
opening loss against Northwood
(Mich.).
Clarion was able to neutralize
Mansfield's leading scorer, point
guard Tommy Harvey, who fin-
ished the night with 12 points in
just 22 minutes of action. Harvey
had been averaging 21.7 points
per game. Much of the credit for
keeping him stifled goes to defen-
sive wizards Kehoe and senior
Brad Wright.
"I've been guarding (Harvey) all
of my life so it's really no big deal
for me to handle him," said
Kehoe.
The Golden Eagles were able to
keep senior forward Steve
Shannon in check offensively,
limiting him to nine points — well
below his 17 ppg clip. Shannon
did, however, win the much-antic-
ipated matchup between two of
the nation's leading rebounders —
Shannon and Clarion's Marvin
Wells. Shannon, who averages an
amazing 14 boards per contest,
matched his average wnile Wells
cleaned the glass eight times.
Clarion trailed 37-36 at halftime
after being down by as many as
eight points in the first half.
When Perluke hit a three-pointer
at the 3:00 mark of the first half
Clarion trailed by a 33-25 score.
An 1 1 -4 run at the end of the half
capped off by a Kehoe layup drew
the Golden Eagles within a point.
Neither team took more than a
four- point lead throughout the
second half, but a solid 12-of-15
from the line enabled the Golden
Eagles to seal the game down the
stretch. Clarion shot a season-low
35 percent from the field in the
victory.
Sharp's 23 points and Kehoe's
18 points led the way for Clarion.
Freshman David Shearer contin-
ued to impress as he added eight
points and nine rebounds.
Mansfield (2-5) was led by
Perluke, who netted 22 points.
Sophomore Damoun Lopez added
16 points off the bench.
Roberts Wesleyan no match for CUP
By Jason Dambach
Assistant Sports Editor
Three players scored at least 25
points and the Golden Eagles
scored 62 first-half points en
route to an easy 101-79 victory
over Roberts Wesleyan (N.Y.)
Monday night at Tippin
Gymnasium.
Lormont Sharp led the way with
28 points while David Shearer
and Marvin Wells each added 25
points for Clarion (8-1).
Just two nights after shooting a
■4M
hosted by
Thurs
season-low 35.6 percent from the
field against Mansfield, the
Golden Eagles shot a season-high
52 percent against the Raiders, an
NAIA school from Rochester,
N.Y.
Point guard R.C. Kehoe dazzled
the crowd at Tippin Gym by dish-
ing out 14 assists — two shy of
the Clarion school record set by
Elmer Kreilins during the 1971-
72 season. Brad Wright chipped
in seven assists for Clarion.
Roberts Wesleyan can take heart
in the fact that they outscored the
Golden Eagles 47-39 in the sec-
ond half after trailing 62-32 at the
half.
Steve Straub was seven-of-11
from beyond the arc and finished
with 23 points to pace the Raiders
(6-5). Leading scorer Ryan Fitch
(16.5 ppg) added 18 points, while
Joe Rebisz came off the bench to
contribute 11 points and 13
rebounds in the losing cause.
The Golden Eagles are next in
action Saturday as they host West
Chester. Clarion defeated the
Golden Rams 64-61 Nov. 21.

George Groff/Clarion Call
Clarion forward Marvin Wells showed no mercy against the
Roberts Wesleyan defense Monday night at Tippin Gym.
The senior captain recorded 25 points, nine rebounds, and
six steals.
CUP women net ESU crown
Clarion's "road warriors"
proved to be too much for the
East Stroudsburg Warriors in the
finals of the ESU Rotary Pocono
Classic Saturday.
The Eagles, who have been on
the road for most of the early por-
tion of the schedule, downed the
hosts 70-53 to capture first place
in the event.
That win, coupled with the
Golden Eagles' 76-66 opening-
round win over St. Anselm
College (N.H.) moved head
coach Gie Parsons' charges to 4-4
on. the season. It also marked
Clarion's third consecutive win
after opening the year 1-4.
In the finals, four players
reached double digits for CUP.
The all- tournament tandem of
Alison Campbell and Bobbi
Schneider evenly split 26 points,
while guards Erica Johnson and
Miesha Henry chipped in 12 and
10 respectively.
Against St. Anselm, tournament
MVP Melissa Yearous led the
way with 19 points and nine
boards for the Eagles.
Clarion wasted no time jumping
on the hosts in the tournament
final. The Eagles rolled to a 45-
23 halftime advantage and pro-
tected the lead throughout the
second half.

North Dakota may be a long
way from Southern Florida, but
it's all the same for Clarion's
Alvin Slaughter.
The 6-foot, 190-pound wide
receiver/kick returner from Carol
City, Fla., was recently selected to
play in the Snow Bowl Jan. 9 in
Fargo, N.D. The Snow Bowl is
the Division II all-star game.
The AII-American set numerous
school records in his four years
under head coach Malen Luke,
including career marks for recep-
tions (195) and receiving qyards
(2,860). Slaughter is listed as a
flanker/split end/return specialist
for the all-star squad, which is
under the direction of the
Nebraska-Omaha coaching staff.
"I've been running, lifting
weights, and learning the play-
book to get ready," said Slaughter.
'They said that the more you
learn the playbook. the more you
are going to play."
Slaughter will look to draw the
attention of scouts on hand, as he
is registered for the 1999 NFL
draft.
"It's an opportunity to get to
play in front of a lot scouts and
get some attention from a lot of
teams," he said. "Hopefully. I'll
have a chance to get to the NFL."
Slaughter will be joined by
PSAC-West standouts Gerald
Thompson (Edinboro) and Barry
Threats (IUP).
Mars, Canfield named PSAC All-stars
Clarion University's Jamie Mars
and Jessa Canfield were named to
the PSAC (Pennsylvania State
Athletic Conference) volleyball
All-Conference teams selected by
the PSAC-West coaches. Mars
(Sr. Greensburg/Greensburg
Salem) was selected to the PSAC
West first team while Canfield (Jr.
Towanda/Troy) made the second
team for the Golden Eagles, who
finished the season at 14-20.

Sportsview: Time is now for a playoff system in college football
By Jason Dambach
Assistant Sports Editor
OK admit it. There were actual-
ly a couple of times last Saturday
when you thought to yourself,
"Hey, this Bowl Championship
Series thing just might work."
After UCLA's somewhat sur-
prising but not totally shocking
49-45 loss at Miami, it appeared
as if the BCS would end up hav-
ing the last laugh by producing an
undisputed matchup between two
unbeaten teams, Kansas State and
Tennessee, in the Fiesta Bowl Jan.
4 — provided both teams win
their respective conference title
games.
But as if some higher power was
Himself fed up with quartile
points, Associated Press polls, and
Jeff Sagarin's overused statistical
rankings, Kansas State blew a 15-
point lead and lost in overtime to
Texas A&M — a defeat that guar-
anteed a team with one loss a shot
at the national championship.
Then, with Tennessee trailing
Mississippi State 14-10 in the
fourth quarter of the SEC champi-
onship, we were forced to wrestle
with the possibility that if the Vols
were to lose, we would go from
having three Fiesta Bowl hopefuls
at the beginning of the day to five
at the end of the day.
Fortunately, Tennessee won the
game and will head to Tempe to
battle once-beaten Florida State
for the national championship.
Technically, the BCS did serve its
purpose: The number one and
number two teams will meet for
the undisputed title.
However, there are still several
questions we must ask ourselves.
First, does it bother anybody
that the combination of cigar-
smoking sports writers and com-
puters run college football? In my
opinion, Ohio State is the second-
best team in the nation, but since
the almighty BCS rankings say
the Seminoles are number two,
we're forced to live with it.
Second, if Kansas State ended
up third in the BCS rankings, how
is it that they are not a part of any
of the four major bowls? Bottom
line: Kansas State belongs in a
major bowl game, not the Alamo
Bowl.
Finally, is this system just a way
for bowl committee members and
athletic directors to keep the
extremely lucrative bowl system
in place instead of doing what is
right and settling it on the field
with a playoff system?
Clearly the answer is yes.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could
just close our eyes and imagine an
NCAA football tournament
involving 16 teams culminating
with a legitimate national champi-
onship game involving two teams
that earned the right to be there on
the field?
Well, let me do the imagining
for you. Besides, the last thing I
need is for you to fall asleep
before I try to whet your appetite
with how a 16-team playoff sys-
tem would apply this season.
First, though, a few points have
to be made:
1. We keep the bowl games.
This is something that will need to
happen in order for the NCAA to
authorize a playoff system. There
is simply too much money chang-
ing hands for the bowls to cease
existence. Yes, 16 teams that
ordinarily would fill bowl slots
will be joining the playoffs, but
there are still enough teams to fill
the important bowl slots.
2. End the season a week earli-
er. In order for this to happen the
SEC, Big 12, and MAC will need
to hold their conference champi-
onship games over Thanksgiving
weekend so that the tournament
can begin in the first week in
December. Most schools would
have to reduce their number of
bye weeks to one to make up for
the week that we are giving up
late in the season, but that should-
n't be a problem.
3. The national championship
will rotate every four years
between the Fiesta, Sugar, Rose,
and Orange Bowls. Since these
bowls are the four bowl games
that have the power, we'll appease
them by letting them host the title
game once every four years.
4. Finally, a committee similar
to that of the NCAA basketball
selection committee will select
the field and its pairing based on
schedule strength, poll rankings,
and, yes, the Sagarin ratings.
So, here's what a 16-team
NCAA football playoff could look
like if everyone at the NCAA
wasn't busy believing in this BCS
"BS" (seeds are in parenthesis).
First Round: Dec. 5
All games at neutral sites
East
(1) Florida State vs. (4) Air Force
(2) Nebraska vs. (3) Syracuse
Southeast
(1) Tennessee vs. (4) Texas
(2) Wisconsin vs. (3) Syracuse
Midwest
(1) Ohio State vs. (4) Notre Dame
(2) Florida vs. (3) Texas A&M
West
(1) Kansas State vs. (4) Tulane
(2) UCLA vs. (3) Michigan
Quarterfinals — Dec. 12
Semifinals — Dec. 19
Fiesta Bowl — Jan. 4
Just as in the selection of the
NCAA basketball tournament,
some good teams were left out, or
as is common slang in college
hoops, "had their bubbles burst."
Don't worry Penn State fans,
under this plan you can play in the
Rose Bowl against USC, since
your lack of a quality victory
keeps you out of the tournament.
Wait a second, don't get too
attached. This is the NCAA we're
talking about. The same organi-
zation that wou!d rather decide its
national champion in beauty
pageant fashion than on the field.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Clarion grad Vuckovich has done it all in baseball
. _ **___ »_ u.»,„„wi in »h ft movie at Clarion, Vuckovich has mad
By Chris Pfeil
Associate Sports Editor
It has been almost 25 years since
Pete Vuckovich played his last
baseball game for Clarion
University. Since then,
Vuckovich has made his mark in
the Major Leagues by winning the
1982 American League Cy Young
Award and serving as the current
pitching coach for the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Vuckovich came to Clarion
University in the Fall of 1970
after graduating from Conemaugh
Valley High School. Over the
next four years, Vuckovich
became the greatest baseball play-
er in the history of Clarion.
During Vuckovich's career as a
Golden Eagle, he was selected to
the NAIA District 18 first team all
four years (1971-74). Vuckovich
was also selected second team
All-PSAC in 1971, then first team
All-PSAC from 1972-74, and was
an AACBS and NAIA Ail-
American in 1974. Vuckovich
had a career record of 15-6 on the
mound as a Golden Eagle, threw a
no-hitter in 1972, and posted an
ERA of 0.80 in 1974.
According to Vuckovich, "The
thing I remember most about
playing at Clarion was the cama-
raderie I had with my teammates.
That was the first time I left the
Johnstown area and started to
compete with guys from different
areas. Clarion is a great school
Pete Vuckovich, who played baseball tor Clarion in the
1970s before going on to win the Cy Young Award wfth the
Milwaukee Brewers and star in 'Major League,* says his four
years at Clarion were some of the best of his Hfe.

Klu Haywood in the movie
'Major League.' Klu Haywood
was the hated first baseman for
the New York Yankees.
According to Vuckovich, "I didn't
have to act. Filming the movie
was extremely difficult. They
taped the movie from seven
o'clock at night to seven o'clock
in the morning."
With the future of the Pirates
uncertain, Vuckovich feels it is
important for a new stadium to be
built. "It is extremely important
because we are a small-market
team. The ones with the money
are playing for the playoffs. The
economics of the game dictate
who is successful. The league
needs more revenue sharing and a
more even salary cap."
Vuckovich added, "Even if the
stadium is built, I don't foresee
the Pirates' payroll ever being
where the large-market clubs are.
You might see the Pirates' payroll
go up to about $30-40 million,
compared to some teams who
have payrolls of $78 million and
up."
When asked what he thought he
would make if he played today,
Vuckovich responded, "What do
Cy Young Award winners make?
It's monstrous dollars." Yet,
Vuckovich does not dwell on what
he could be making if he played
today. "I don't even think about
it I played when I played. The
money is changing and the ath-
letes deserve it Tbat is who the
fans come to see."
Twenty-five years after starring
at Clarion, Vuckovich has made
his mark in the baseball world.
Not bad for a guy from a small
state school in Pennsylvania.

Canfield, a 6-1, junior,
middle/outside hitter, made the
PSAC-West second team. One of
the Conference's premier block-
ers, Jessa finished the season with
95 solo and 57 block assists or
1.38 blocks/game (4th in PS AC)
in 110 games leading Clarion.
She also topped the team in hitting
percentage with a .293 mark (6th
in PSAC) while having 290 kills.
Canfield finished her year with 82
digs, 11 set assists, and two ser-
vice aces. In her three years, Jessa
has 367 total blocks (4th in
Clarion history), 816 kills (5th in
Clarion history) for a .263 hitting

with 23 assists. She a PSAC and

The grand staircase greats students and faculty as they come through the
main entrance. Clarion's oldest class room building now is the home to a
modern educational environment.
Founders Hall, considered a
Clarion landmark since its construc-
tion in 1894, now houses the
College of Arts and Sciences includ-

offices.
It also houses the History,
Anthropology, Political Science,
Sociology, and Philosophy depart-

arrested
on drug
charges
by Michael Chapaloney
Clarion CaH Editor Jin Chief
Student Senate vice president
John Brown was arrested last week
on various drug charges after
police say he sold about 17 grams
of cocaine to a police informant.
Brown, 22,
was charged
with posses-
sion, unlawful
delivery, and
possession with
intent to deliver
cocaine.
Brown was also
charged with
possession of
drug paraphernalia.
According to documents from
District Justice Anthony Lapinto, a
drug task force including local law
enforcement officers was investi-
gating Brown for drug trafficking.
Two "buys" were scheduled
through the informant.
Both of the "buys" occurred on
Main Street in Clarion. According
to police, several local officers
observed the transactions from
surveillance points.
Brown allegedly accepted $225
from the informant on May 7,
1998 in exchange for 3.3 grams of

The state of Clarion
University address
For this first issue of We Make The Call , we decided to
highlight the current and projected ups and downs of this
semester at Clarion University. Don't worry Clarion, we
have only pointed out the lows so that they can move to the
positive list next year. So sit back and take a look at the
highs and lows of the new year at Clarion.
+ Founders Hall reopens, after four years and four mil-
lion dollars, one of Clarion's greatest houses of education
and architectural assets is back online.
■ Budget projections for next year are showing a possible
$1.7 millon shortfall. With faculty and classes already seem-
ing scarce, this shortfall would only pour salt in the wound.
+ New theaters at the Clarion Mall and the Staples
Plaza, are great additions to the prospering Clarion area.
This should also add extra motivation to establishing public
transportation for the community and campus.
" The Sequelle yearbook, once again this year will arrive
late. Besides the tardiness, the book's budget has declined,
the cost has gone up, and less students are picking up a book.
It may be time to revamp the publication into a video or pos-
sibly a CD-ROM version.
+ The University Book Center seemed to have a success-
ful and smooth operating Book Rush this year. Speaking of
success the UBC should be congratulated for a very positive
evaluation conducted last semester.
Good job.
" TCI raises prices; it almost seems continual. Same cable
service for more money. Something tells us that isn't fair.
+ Rec Center is underway after much debate about loca-
tion and cost, Clarion's largest building project sincclhe
Gcmmell Complex is being constructed.
■ Computer service becomes more and more complicated
here at Clarion as attempts are made to increase technology.
We appreciate the effort, but the failing networks, smuggling
printers, and the not-always-helpful lab assistants have tar-
nished the appearance of computer service.
Your Views
Monica was not the fox in the
desert, oil was the black beauty
Dear Editor:
Many Americans were outraged when President
Clinton looked straight into the camera and with an
air of complete sincerity lied about an affair with
Monica Lewinsky. Some of these same Americans
will applaud the attack of Iraq and accept as gospel
truth the lies the government and media give them as
reasons for the attack.
The attack on Iraq has nothing to do with weapons
of mass destruction (several countries have them),
violation of U.N. resolutions (Israel has violated
many of them), Saddam Hussein being a brutal dic-
tator (the United State brought Pinochet to power),
democracy or human rights. It has everything to do
with oil and the desire of the United States to weak-
en all independent-minded states in the region so that
the large multinational oil companies can dominate
the oil reserves of the Middle East. War also serves
as a showcase for the new high technology weapons
produced by military contractors. Some rationale
must be given for the bloated military budgets and
the tremendous government subsidy to the high tech-
nology industry, which has supported the capitalist
system since World War II. Since the Soviet Union
dissolved, new enemies must be found or created.
The sanctions against Iraq have killed over two
million Iraqis - five hundred thousand of them chil-
dren. The use of depleted uranium in the Persian
Gulf War has caused an alarming increase in cancers
and other diseases in Iraq. I think it is very ironic
and sad that conservative Republicans, who are
always complaining about immorality and lack of
family values, find nothing at all immoral about what
has been done to the Iraqi people for die benefit of
the oil companies.
Sincerely,
Gary Sudbrough
Bellflower, CA 90706
P.S. For those people who believe in the idea, repeat-
ed ad nausem in the media, that the "Showdown with
Saddam" is about weapons of mass destruction, I
think these questions need to be asked.
1. Why during the Iran-Iraq war did the United
States supply weapons to both sides, and why did
U.S. corporations supply Iraq with chemical and bio-
logical weapons.
2. Why during the past thirty years were the Kurds
twice urged to revolt against Saddam Hussein and
supplied with weapons by the CIA and then aban-
doned when it appeared they might be successful?
Possibly to weaken Iraq?
3. Why was Saddam Hussein originally put in
power by the CIA, and why was he not removed at
the end of the Persian gulf war, when the United
States had overwhelming military superiority?
4. The British and French colonialists drew
the boundaries of the various countries in the Middle
East so that no country would become too strong.
That is why Kuwait cuts off Iraq's access to the sea.
Are American imperialists simply too moral to fol-
low the same policy of weakening troublesome
counties? Give me a break!

Opinion
Pete Chido
It has been said, and not by me,
that Phish is the best live band on
the planet. Well, now I'm saying
it. Phish is the best live band on
the planet.
This is the third time I have been
to a Phish concert. The first was
in Pittsburgh, and it was fun. The
second conceit was at Hershey
Park in Hershey PA. I couldn't
get a ticket for the show, so I
stumbled around outside the arena
with some kid from New Jersey
who was into the New York hard-
core scene, and we bummed ciga-
rettes off the hippies. That was a
lot of fun too.
On Friday the 13th this past
November I and four of my
friends went to the Cleveland
Convocation Center to see Phish.
I think, I had what you might call
an experience. After the show I
went right out and bought two of
Plush's latest albums "Billy
Breathes" and The Story of a
Ghost" and have pretty much
played them nonstop since. Now
my friends call me a hippie.
Phish has four members, Trey
Anastasio, guitar and lead vocals,
Page McConnell, keyboards,
Mike Gordon, bass guitar, and Jon
Fishman, drums. They are what
people call a jam band, which
means that a song that took up to
three minutes on their album can
take anywhere between 20 to 30
minutes live. Phish are masters
of the jam. The intertwining
twinkle of exchanging pleas-
antries with a screeching guitar is
supported by Mike Gordon's
wobbly bass. It was hard Jo focus
on one member for too long, but
at first I sat there amazed at the
talent that Trey Anastasio dis-
played in his solo's or entranced
by Page McConnell's melodies.
One tends to forget about the
bass. Mike Gordon is this goofy
looking guy who stands in from
of the drummer and rapidly bobs
his head back and forth with
music, and gets overlooked.
Howdver, it's the bass that is the
key to Phish's live sound. It's the
bass that gives you this jittery
feeling inside your chest and
makes you feel like your under-
water swimming with the rest of
the Phish. It's the bass that bent
the walls of the Cleveland
Convocation Center and caused
my entire body to move while sit-
ting completely still. Just when I
thought I pinpointed the source of
the tremors and began to zero in,
the lights would go out and a slow
wobbly motion would fill the
room soon accompanied by the
drums and piano and then com-
pletely overtaken by a stream of
lights, and sound, and tempo, and
hopping hippies, and the
whissssht of a nitrous oxide cinis-
ter. Soon the song would be bar-
reling up and down these musical
scopes and everyone in the audi-
torium would be twirling and
flailing along behind it like earth-
toned kites tied to a speeding
Volkswagen van. Man, it's no
wonder people follow this band
all over America and stand out-
side the night's venue in the freez-
ing cold holding up an index fin-
ger indicating that they need a
ticket. Phish has never played the
same set twice, and they have
never played a song the same way
twice, which explains why
boodegs of Phish concerts are
such a hot commodity. They are
each originals never to be done
again. Phish is trying to get
somewhere with their music,
some new dimension of sound.
They try all year round.
Sometimes they fall short. Other
times you can tell that Phish is
coming very close and that they
are doing something really right.
I'll try to relate the events that
took place on the night of
November 13.
We sit in the auditorium and are
pelted by the house lights.
Everyone looks nervously around

Editorial
"What do readers
want. "
Michael Chapaloney, Editor in Chief
New year, new editor and'
yes that means a few changes.
I have been with the Call for
quite awhile now.
First I ran around this town
scouring the businesses for
ads. On the side I was the
Student Senate reporter. The
following semester I was
hired as the Advertising Sales
Manager. Promoted to
Managing Editor the next
semester and after a year was
ready to be Editor in Chief.
Well after boring you with
my rap sheet at the Call, I
would like to give my first
address as Chief.
I would like to do my best to
walk the Call through a layout
renaissance. As you have
already seen the front page
has changed a little and the
corresponding section front
pages have followed suit.
Here at the Call we are try-
ing to figure out what you, the
reader, wants the paper to
look like and more important-
ly - what you want it to con-
tain. While it is part of our
job to satisfy our audience,
we are also provided with the
real life experience that all
major newspapers are faced
with - "What do readers
want?"
So I guess that is what I am
asking you. Call us, write, e-
mail or stop by the office -
give us your ideas. Now
granted, we can't please
everyone, but we will try to
combine your ideas into a
paper for all of us.
So hear is the deal. Please
be patient with us. We are
going to do a lot of experi-
menting and testing with your
paper. We will be cautious
and careful while fine-tuning
this product to its closest pos-
sible perfection to ensure that
the transition is not a bumpy
one.

Jaywalking and crosswalk law
enforced in IUP's home
Introduction
On August 10, 1998, The Penn,
IUP's student newspaper, featured
a front page article entitled
"Drivers: Pedestrian's
t
Compliance Vital to Avoid Paying
Fines" by Katy Gresh, The gist
of the article was that Indiana's
Borough Council has decided to
enforce the Pennsylvania Vehicle
code relevant to jaywalking and
crosswalks.
The Borough is trying to achieve
complaince with the law. This
writer applauds these efforts and
wants to help. Hopefully, by
relating an example and explain-
ing the law, I can further enhance
the general awareness of the
rights and duties of all drivers and
pedestrians in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania.
Since the Fall o£ 1985, 1 have
been using the following example
in BL235 - Introduction to
Business Law, a class that I regu-
larly teach as a professo* of Legal
Studies at IUP. Briefly, the facts
were that on a rainy day m June of
1984, my mother was struck by a
vehicle while she wasin a cross-
walk on Main Street in
Brqokville, Pennsylvania, her and'
my hometown. Luckily she sur-
vived with a fractured pelvis and
pain and suffering. She could
have easily been killed had she
been hit differently or had the
vehicle been going faster. Shortly
thereafter, the Jeffersonian
Democrat published front page
articles with regard to motorists,
pedestrians, and crosswalks and
her accident. Since then, in
Brookville, many more people
have been in compliance with the
Vehicle Code.
Title 75 of Purdon's
Consolidated Pennsylvania
Statutes Annotated is
Pennsylvania's Vehicle Code.
Subchapter C is entiOe<J~*Rights
and Duties of Pedestrians.
Section 3542 of that subchapter is
entitled "Right-of-way of
Pedestrians in Crosswalks." That
section provides:
(a) General Rule- When traffic
control signals are not in place or
not in operation, the driver of a
vehicle shall yield the right of way
to a pedestrian crossing the road-
way within any marked crosswalk
or within any unmarked cross-
walk at an intersection.
(b) Exercise of care by a pedes-
trian- No pedestrian shall sudden-
ly leave a curb or other place of
safety and walk or run into the
path of a vehicle which is so close
as to constitute a hazard.
fine, court costs, and two points
can be assessed. A pedestrian can
also be prosectued and convicted
of jaywalking, a summary
offense, for which a fine and court
costs can be assessed.
However, more far reaching
consequences can ensue from the
civil side of the law. Remember
that in our day to day activities,
we have a duty to act reasonably.
Specifically, that means a driver
hitting someone in a crosswalk or
a jaywalk causing an accident
Hopefully, by relating an example and
explaining the law, I can further enhance the gen-
eral awareness of the rights and duties of all dri-
vers and pedestrians in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania: 99
-Wm. Dennis Ames
(c) Limitation on vehicles pass-
ing- Whenever any vehicle is
stopped at any crosswalk at an
intersection or at any marked
crosswalk to permit a pedestrian
to cross the roadway, the driver of
any other vehicle approaching
from the rear shall not overtake
and pass the stopped vehicle.
Section 3543 - Pedestrians cross-
ing at other than crosswalks, pro-
vides: •
(a) General rule- Every pedestri-
an crossing a roadway at any point
other than within a crosswalk at
an intersection or any marked
crosswalk shall yield the right of
way to all vehicles upon the road-
way.
My students almost always con-
clude that compliance with the
basic law is nonexistent and
almost a joke.
The Consequences
What are the potential conse-
quesnee for not following the
laws? A driver can be prosecuted
and convicted of failure to yield to
a pedestrian in a crosswalk, a.
summary offense, for which a
would be negligent per se; in other
words acting unreasonably. Note
that one can be found liable for all
damages caused by his or her
unresonable acts. Therefore,
damages would include the lost
wages, medical bills, pain and
suffering, etc. of the injured plain-
tiff who would be foolish not to
sue, assuming the proff was at
hand.
Indeed maybe the worst conse-
quence of all would be living with
the knowledge that your own neg-
ligence resulted in another's death
or disability. I hope I never have
to deal with those emotions.
Solutions
I always jokingly sug-
gest a class exercise in which we
would go to a crosswalk on cam-
pus and take down the license
plate numbers and descriptions of
drivers who fail to stop. Then
make formal charges and prose-
cute those violators before the
local District Justice. What a
controversy that would cause with
the community besides clogging
the courts.
Presently in Indiana, the town
police officers have been directed
to cite violators, but they usually
have more important matters with
which to deal. Interestingly, the
IUP Campus Police have not been
formally engaged with the
Borough police in its newly publi-
cized compliance effort. Even
local meter maids could be used in
a more all out effort to prosecute,
but their job is to write parking
tickets.
Obviously crosswalks should be
kept well painted and signed, and
potential drivers should be tested
initially on this law. However, the
most effective cure for the prob-
lem is more sensitive and aware
drivers and pedestrians. A little
courtesy may very well save you a
lot of trouble. Don't jaywalk and
stop for those at crosswalks. The
rules are simple; the conse-
quences for their violation may be
much more complex.
Final Note
One might wonder how croswalk
law is relevant to BL235 -
Introduction to Business Law.
Indeed as a professional, only rel-
evant, personal stories, or exam-
ples should be used by a profes-
sor. Well one of the most impor-
tant doctrines in civil and criminal
law that needs taught in every
legal studies course, is the well-
founded doctrine of vicarious lia-
bility. Vicarious liabiltily stands
for the notion that one can be
found legally responsible for the
act of another. More specifically,
"respondent superior" is a doc-
trine well embedded in
Pennsylvania case law which dic-
tates that an employer can be
found liable for the negligence of
its employees if the negligence
occurs within the scope of
employment! Do you think the
SSHE Universities, as employers,
may want to brief its maintenance
workers on crosswalk law? Might
it make good sense for businesses
to make sure that their drivers
know who has the right of way at
crosswalks? I knew you would
agree and see the relevance.

To the Editor:
I am writing concerning the
article about Alpha Sigma
Alpha's chapter revocation
that appeared in the last edi-
tion of the Call. For starters,

tured in the photo has not
housed members of Alpha

1998.

on the story? I realize most
of the material was taken

The thing that
bothers me the most is
that none of the sisters
were asked for their
opinions or counter-
points on the story. 99
-Sheila J. Gastinger
from the national press
release, but if that was the
route the writer wanted to go
it should have just been .,
directly reproduced and not
commented on by the Call
staff.
Also, the chapter revocation
occurred on October 23, 1998.
Why was there a 6-week wait
between the event and the
news story? If it was not
deemed "newsworthy" at that
time, what could make it
newsworthy six weeks later?
The thing that bothers me
the most is that none of the
sisters were asked for their
opinions or counterpoints on
the story. While this is not
legally required, it is respon-
sible journalism.
Thank you for your time
and attention to this matter.

CHIDOI Phishing season is the best time of the year.
just dying for the lights to dim.
There is a sullen atmosphere.
Ambient music is playing in the
background and there is a low
mumbling of a half -filled auditori-
um (soon to be packed). The stage
is painted all black including the
enormous and intricate light rig
hovering above it. There are two
candles on the stage, and it is lit by
mis velvety looking deep blue that
makes the stage look like a dark
place in a completely illuminated
room. Someone cries like a ban-
shee and the whole auditorium fol-
lows. There is a closeness with
these people.
finally, the lights go out. The
crowd screams. Instantly, the
auditorium is filled with pot
smoke. Phish start their first set.
To be completely honest I don't
remember much of the first set.
The light show was amazing, I
remember that. Our seats were
located behind the stage and to the
right We could see the band fair-
ly well, and we could watch the
lights playing on the audience.
There were a set of speakers
behind the stage so the sound was
perfect. Being behind the stage
we got the perspective that the
band gets while they play. Phish
probably has more fun than the
audience. They have a rapport
with the audience that I have never
seen from any other band. The
crowd is very much a part of the
show. Phish has the most devoted
fans since The Greatf ul Dead, and
they recognize that and in turn are
fans of their audience. They use
signals that the audience plays
along with. At the beginning of
each song you see people scrib-
bling noted and adding song to
their set lists so they can say that
they saw this or that Much of the
light show is focused on the audi-
ence instead of the stage. Their
music is danceable and damn
catchy. It's a festival-like atmos-
phere that anyone could appreci-
ate. To prove that point, one of the
people that I was there with had
only seen concerts by the likes of
Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch
Nails. Each of whom are fine acts
but rely heavily on death and other
grim subjects. The euphoric vibe
had him enthralled. (He described
it by using the title of a Phish
song, "Wading in the Velvet Sea")
To end their fust they played my
favorite Phish song of the moment
"Run Like an Antelope," a 10
minute, mostly instrumental song
that starts simple and build to a
hyperactive climax that runs like
the said antelope. Phish always
manages to play my favorite song.
The first time I saw them my
favorite song was "Reba" and they
played that. This time they not
only played "Antelope" butthey
also encored with my favorite Led
Zeppelin song, "Good Times, Bad
Tunes." Coincidence? Most like-
ly. Of course they couldn't per-
form "Good Tunes..." witht he
speed and precision of a finely
tuned Led Zeppelin but it was
pretty cool anyway.
After the "...Antelope" ran its
course the band went backstage
and those damn house lights came
on again. My friends and I were
pretty charged up by then.
Waiting. ..waiting. . .waiting .. .Yes !
After about 20 minutes that
seemed like a day and a half the
lights went out, the ganja filled the
room, and Phish began its second
set.
The set started with "Down with
Desease," "Sample in a Jar," fol-
lowed by "Dirt." then they played
a song called "Meat" that included
a ghosly noise set they played
"Harry Hood." In the song the
lyrics ask "...Harry" "Where do
you go when the lights go out?"
When that was said the lights went
out,k and something incredible
happened. About 250 different
colored glow sticks came raining
down from the bleacher seats and
into the middle of the floor seats
and the people on the floor began
throwing the glow sticks in the air
creating a fountain of color pour-
ing up from the middle or the
auditoruim. That's the way the
show ended.
Phish has an amazing grasp on
music. I hope they will be around
for a very long time. The mix of
spirituality, with a fun-loving
sense of humor, and outright musi-
cal craftsmanship make them the
most important band of the nest
century Phish is definitely doing
something right
The Call welcomes everyone
back to the Spring semester!

WANTED: Student Senators
Spence, McQuillan resignations force Senate to look for more members
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
Three new ad hoc committees
were announced at Monday
night's Student Senate meeting.
President Tammi Snyder told the
gallery that a Constitution
Committee has been established
so that Senators can examine the
Clarion Students' Association
(CSA) Constitution while the by-
laws are in the process of being
amended and approved.
A second committee has been
developed within Senate to work
on preparing a bid to host a meet-
ing of the Board of Student
Government Presidents (BSGP) in
November.
A third and final committee that
was developed is a Stipend
Committee, which will focus on
discovering ways on enabling stu-
dent government leaders at
Clarion University to receive
some amount of compensation.
After the meeting, Snyder elab-
orated further on the purpose of
these newly-developed commit-
tees. "Each of these committees
will deal with specific issues and
will be disbanded at the end of the
semester, with the exception of
the BSGP Committee," she said.
The BSGP Committee meeting
will work on beginning the
process to submit a bid to host a
two-day conference of the Board
here at Clarion sometime in
BROWN: "Nothing proven"
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
John Brown said he received
"total support" from his Student
Senate colleagues in the wake of
his arrest on drug charges last
week.
During a closed session at the
end of Monday night's Senate
meeting, Brown said that he dis-
cussed the charges and asked if
anyone wanted him to resign his
position as Senate vice president.
"I wasn't willing to resign, but if
one Senator wanted me to go, I
would have gone." he said.
He said not one Senator asked
him to resign. "It's a big reassur-
ance because I love doing what
I'm doing," he said.
Brown, 22, was charged with
possession, unlawful delivery,
possession with intent to deliver
cocaine, and possession of drug
paraphernalia related to two inci-
dents mat took place in down-
town Clarion last May.
"First and foremost, these are
only allegations," he said.
"Nothing has been proven, and I
have not been proven guilty."
Brown said he has had several
discussions with University
administrators since his arrest last
week. "I wanted to apologize for
bringing a bad name to my family
as well as the University," he
noted.
He also apologized to faculty,
administrators and his friends
who first heard of his arrest
through word of mouth or in local
newspapers. "I had a process to
follow," Brown said. "I had to
tell my family first, men hire an
attorney, and then tell Tammi
(Snyder) and the rest of Student
Senate."
Brown would not discuss the
specifics of the case, but did say
that he is going to try and stay
focused on his work this semester.
"I'm not going to change my
life.. .there's just a part that needs
to be resolved," he added.
November. "Six Senators are
working to develop a proposal for
funding," Snyder said. "They will
look into where we should go for
funding, determine the cost, and
talk to other State System schools
to see how long it takes to plan a
BSGP event."
Student Senate is looking into
making a bid at BSGP's April
meeting, held on the campus of
Mansfield University of
Pennsylvania. Clarion has never
hosted a meeting of the Board

6:20 p.m., the informant paid
$800 for 13.9 grams of

Brown's Ford Bronco was
confiscated to be used as evi-
dence in the investigation.
The evidence is being held at
the Summerville police
department.
A preliminary hearing has
been scheduled for Brown on
Feb. 2 at the Clarion County
Courthouse at 11:30 a.m.
Both Clarion University
President Diane Reinhard and
Student Senate President
Tammi Snyder have chosen
not to comment on the situa-
tion.
Senate Treasurer Leslie
Suhr, who chairs the
Appropriations committee of
which Brown is a member,
also declined to comment.
Brown was arraigned at
Lapinto's office Jan. 19 and
was released on $10,000 bond.
Constitution, Snyder said, to see if
anything in reference to Student
Senate needs to be changed.
"Five Senators will work to
review die Constitution and report
to the entire Senate and discuss
any changes or modifications mat
need to be made," she said.
The third committee will look
into ways of paying Clarion's stu-
dent government leaders. "We
will look into ways in which lead-
ers of student government at
Clarion University can receive
some kind of compensation,"
Snyder said.
She said that the compensation
may be monetary, but that other
options are being considered, such
as giving student leaders a co-cur-
ricular credit. Snyder noted that
the committee will be contacting
other schools that try and compen-
sate their student leaders when
devising a plan for Clarion's stu-
dent government.
In other news, Senate voted to
allocate $2,500 from the capital
account to general administration
for the purchase of a new comput-
er and printer, pending the
approval of Dr. Reinhard.

Senate that one of the computers

Students upset over
rise in TCFs rates
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
Students who returned to
Clarion University this semester
were greeted with a slight
increase in their cable rates.
On January 1, TCI customers
saw an increase in their basic and
expanded basic cable coverage.
Basic cable increased 62 cents to
$12.56 a month and the rate for
expanded basic rose $1.05 to
$17.99 per month.
The reason for the price hike is
increased costs, according to Jeff
Matter, TCI customer sales and
service manager/marketing man-
ager for central Pennsylvania.
He said that in order for the com-r
pany to re-coup costs, rates need-
ed to increase slightly
"There has been an increase in
the cost of programming, as well
as an increase in employee costs,"
said Matter. "Also, we are
upgrading our systems and that
increases our cost of doing busi-
ness."
Every year, TCI looks at costs to
determine if a rate hike is needed.
The "annual adjustment," accord-
ing to Matter, doesn't always
mean that rates will increase.
"The reason that we do the
adjustment every year is so mat
prices won't fluctuate throughout
the year," Matter said. "We try to
lock the costs in for die customers
for a year."
Some students aren't happy
about the recent rise in cable
rates. "I don't think it's right,"
said Wendy Stivers, sophomore

CU pays high price for Founders
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
Four factors held back work on
Founders Hall, forcing Clarion
University to absorb some of the
cost of the $4 million project.
The first reason for delay was
the change in Pennsylvania's gov-
ernor, from the Casey administra-
tion to the Ridge administration
back in the beginning of 1995.
"The Ridge administration put a
hold on all capital projects to
review them and see if the new
administration would support
them," said Dr. Heather
Haberaecker, vice president for
finance and administration.
"When we were moving through
the project and the design was
done, the Department of General
Services (DGS) decided to split
the project into two pieces or
phases because there was a con-
cern about the overall structure,"
Haberaecker said. "The first
phase involved some demolition
and a review of the structure and
the second phase was the remod-
eling."
"Because DGS broke the project
up into two pieces, it required two
sets of release of funds," she
added.
Gecrge Grot : 'Th* Clarion Call
Remodeling and restoring Founders Hall cost Clarion

phase of the project came back, (E and G) Funds from the
and DGS was not happy with the University were used to pay for
the project.
"Originally, no E and G funds
were to be used for Founders,"
she added.
Another reason for the increased
price in the renovation,
Haberaecker said, was that the
University received "bad cost esti-
mates" from the project's archi-
tect. Bids came in more than
$600,000 over the architect's esti-
mate. "In September 1997 we had
an estimate of $680,000 and by
December 1997, we had bids of
$1.4 million," she noted.
After the $1.4 million picked up
by the E and G Funds, DGS paid
for $1.7 million of the project, and
the Foundation provided
$870,500 in funding.
Haberaecker said she was "very
pleased" with the work of
Branson Construction, Inc. of
Monroeville, the project's con-
tractor. "They were really good
to work with," she added.
After all the delays, Haberaecker
is glad to see Founders Hall back
on-line.
"I'm pleased with the restoration
of Founders Hall because, unlike
many remodeling projects, we
were able to retain the unique
character of the building," she
said.

accord with current safety
code requirements the

ing and electrical wiring

Structural Investigation,
internal demolition,

Reaction to the renova-
tion seems positive. "I
love it. It smells good and
I like the stained glass
window," said Greg
Kellcrman, Junior History
major. "Students deserve
this," said Toni Kelso,
secretary to the dean of
Arts and Sciences.
"It's really a joy to be
back with window and
light," said Dr. Ann Day, a
History professor whose
office was formerly locat-
ed in the basement of
Campbell Hall.
The cost of the project
was $4,019 million.
Capital funding of $1.73
million was provided by
the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
The University was
required to provide $2.24
million in local funding.
The Investing in Futures
Capital Campaign con-
ducted through the
Clarion University
Foundation counted for
$870,500.
Some Clarion graduates
also helped with the reno-
vation. The preservation
of the stained glass win-
dow and stairway was
made possible by Carl and
Charlene (Benninghoff)
McManamy of Atlanta,
GA.
Virginia Kaufman, a
1937 graduate in
Pittsburgh, donated
money for the dean's suit
in honor of her parents,
M.M. and Minnie H.
Kaufman.
Founders Hall is the sec-
ond oldest building on
campus. It was originally
known as Science Hall
when it housed a model
school. It became
Founders Hall in 1936 to
honor the founders of the
institution.
"Our newly renovated
Founders Hall is an
impressive facility," said
President Diane Reinhard.
"Its 'smart classrooms,'
computer labs and studios
will promote and support
learning for Clarion stu-
dents and faculty as they
come together in the
exciting processes of dis-
covery and expression, the
application of knowledge,
and the development of
skills."
"In its changes to meet
the challenges of teaching
and learning in the next
century and in its vivid
links to our past, we will
continue to cherish
Founders Hall," Reinhard
added.

Kuhn also announced
plans to terminate the
Bachelor of Arts
degree in German, fol-
lowing completion of a
three year moratorium
that began in 1995.
Kuhn explained that
students would still be
able to take German
language courses, but
they would not be able
to major in German.
In other business,
Thomas Gusler,
Associate Provost for
Administration, spoke
to the trustees about'
the Year 2000 "com-
puter crisis." Gusler
detailed the
University's handling
of possible software
problems. "We hit a
few bumps, but I am
confident that the Y2K
committee and the
Center for Computing
Services have served
well and will continue
to serve well." said
Gusler.
Completion of work
on the Year 2000 prob-

120 CU students
suspended last semester

Faculty Senate learned that
more than 100 students were
suspended last semester during

Academic Standards chair.
Dr. Ralph Leary reported dur-
ing the Fall Semester 120 stu-
dents were suspended, 58 stu-
dents appealed, 43 students
scheduled appeals, and 33 stu-
dents appeared at a Wednesday,
Jan. 13 hearing. Thirty-four
suspensions were upheld while
24 of the suspensions were
rescinded.
Dr. Leary hypothesized that
many of the suspended students
were undecided majors, they
had not seen their advisors, and
had not developed a sense of
balance (too many upper divi-
sion classes in major).
Three returning senators Dr.
William English, Dr. George
Xu, and Dr. Carole Anderson
were welcomed back to Senate
after spending time away
because of sabbaticals or med-
ical leaves.
In other business, Knight

Grohe challenges CU students
to commit to education
by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Dr. Barbara Grohe, 1998's
National Superintendent of the Year
and Clarion graduate, returned to
CU recently to speak to education
majors and administration about the
commitment to education.
Grohe tackled several topics dur-
ing her presentation. She first
spoke about the changes that have
occurred in education over the
years. Among these are changes in
demographics, standards and fund-
ing.
Next, she talked about the school
district where she currenUy works,
the Iowa City Community School
District. Grohe said that because
funding is difficult to come by in
inner-city schools, such as her dis-
trict, she decided to get sponsorship
from local businesses. Currently,
the school district now has a part-
nership with over 200 area busi-
nesses.
Also, Grohe spoke about the chil-
dren who are in school now. She
said that many students come from
backgrounds where they are not
prepared for the class experience
and it is important that teachers are
caring and nurturing.
During her speech, she also

tduched upon her education at
Clarion. Grohe said she feels that
she was well prepared for her career
as a result of the education she
received here, as well as her partic-
ipation on the debate team.
According to Dr. Gail Grejda,
Dean of the College of Education
and Human Services, Grohe recent-
ly sent a memo expressing her
appreciation to the University for
inviting her back to her alma mater.
In the memo, Grohe said she had a

keeping and accounting proce-
dures, and that the other two
office computers have already
been replaced.
Also, Suhr provided Senators
with the current totals in the four
accounts. There is $121,131 in
the capital account, $40,603 in
the supplemental account, $28,
179 in the supplemental reserve
account, and $116,984 in the
large-item capital account.
Budgeting packets for the 1999-
2000 academic year for all CSA-
recognized organizations are now
available. Suhr said liiat packets
will be due by Feb. 24 and more
information will be provided at
next week's Senate meeting.
Monday was Allison Killing's
first night as a Senator. She is
replacing Brian McQuillan, who
resigned from Senate and took a
medical withdrawal from the
University. Bonny Spence
announced her resignation at the
meeting, citing academic reasons.
Because the entire list of alter-
nates has been exhausted,
Senators were asked by president
Snyder to bring in names of pos-
sible Senators at next week's
meeting.
Senators will vote by secret bal-
lot in order to fill the spot vacated
by Spence.
Finally, it was announced that
the recently amended by-laws of
the CSA should be presented to
Senate sometime after the Board
of Directors meeting on Tuesday,
Feb. 2.
Board chair Michael
ChapaJoney said that Senate will
have one month to approve the
by-laws. A referendum so all CU
students can vote on the amended
by-laws will be scheduled later
this semester.

wonderful time and was thrilled to
be welcomed back.
"The College of Education appre-
ciated her (Grohe's) coming back to
Clarion," Grejda said. "She is a
good role model for students in the
education majors."
As the recipient of the National
Superintendent of the Year award,
Grohe received a $2,000 U.S.
Savings Bond and a $10,000 schol-
arship in her name from the
ServiceMaster Company, which
was presented to Valley High
School in Pittsburgh, which Grohe
attended.
"Receiving the Superintendent of
the Year Award is quite a privilege,"
Grohe said. "It is a prestigious
award because it is given by my
peers. They know the job and how
to do it"
Grohe received her Bachelor's
Degree from Clarion in 1967. She
then earned her Masters degree
from Ohio University in 1968. In
1981, she received her Ph.D. in
urban education from the
University of Wisconsin,

tricts in Pennsylvania and

In recently-released State System survey
Alumni give CU high marks
by Patricia Boberg
Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor
A recent survey conducted by
the State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) proved Clarion
University of Pennsylvania grad-
uates to be well satisfied with
their education.
The Clarion University alumni
responses to survey questions
were remarkably similar to those
recorded in the State System
totals.
The process started during the
1997-98 academic year, when the
State System appointed an advi-
sory committee to assist in the
design and coordination of a State
System Alumni Satisfaction
Survey.
The efforts of the survey were
seen as an important component
of the System's institutional
research efforts. These efforts
were intended to gather informa-
tion that universities could use to
increase their knowledge of alum-
ni opinions and needs and to
gauge the need for possible
improvements to academic and
administrative processes on the
campuses.
Surveys such as these are help-
ing universities incorporate what
skills are needed to master useful
programs. The survey results also
indicate activities universities
should undertake because of new
finds.
"I am pleased that the State
System has begun efforts to talk
to current and former students
about what they value in their
educational experiences," said Dr.
John Kuhn, Provost/Vice
President for Academic Affairs.
"These surveys will be useful
over time on what we are accom-
plishing, or hope to, if continued."
A random sample of 200 bac-
calaureate graduates from each of
the 14 universities was drawn
from the 1991-92 graduating
class. The survey was conducted
early in the 1998 Spring Semester,
and the effort achieved a 78 per-
cent system-wide completion rate.
Dr. Kuhn said, "The University
has worked hard to make sure
Clarion has the best programs and
faculty available to teach its stu-
dents. This all has to do with a
major part of their success."
Ninety percent of the Clarion
sample completed the survey; The
large majority of the surveys non-
completion resulted from the
inability to contact the former stu-
dents.
Three-fourths of the System
total and of Clarion's sample
reported that the University they
attended was the first choice dur-
ing their college search. Sixty-
two percent would choose to
enroll in the same major.
About 88 percent of the students
in both sample groups who con-
tinued their education beyond the
baccalaureate degree, stated their
institution did a "good" or "excel-
lent" job in preparing them for
graduate work.
There were some notable excep-
tions in die survey where Clarion
exceeded even the given positive
scores achieved by the State
System as a whole.
Employment was very impor-
tant to the graduates, 99 percent
of the Clarion sample and the
State System total sample report-
ed they had worked for pay at
sometime since graduation.
About two-thirds said they were
working in fields closely associat-
ed with their majors. "Our pro-
grams are preparing students
well," said Kenn Marshall, press
secretary for the State System.
"What students are learning in
college is showing to be relevant
to their work force."
Marshall stated, "All of this is
evidence that we are doing a good
job. Students are being kept up to
date with the work force, making
them aware of what they want
whenever it comes time for grad-
uation."
Clarion is one of the few uni-
versities that has full professors in
the classroom teaching, not else-
where conducting research.
When asked how well Clarion
University prepared their students
for their current occupations, the
percentage of "excellent" or
"high" were overwhelming.
Fifty-four percent of Clarion
respondents said they "Definitely
would attend Clarion" if they
were to start college over.
Clarion alumni that reported to
take more than four years to com-
plete their undergraduate degree
stated it was because they
changed majors or took dual
majors, while 27 percent ran into
academic difficulties of varying
degrees.
Fourteen percent reported their

delay was due to their entering a
part-time student status at one
point in their careers, and 1 1 per-
cent said their delay was caused
by scheduling difficulties. Other
reasons recorded scored under ten
percent.
Most standardized alumni sur-
veys have a reputation for produc-
ing high percentages of positive
responses. The telephone survey
selected students at random, and
that would assume all levels of
satisfaction would more likely be
represented in a sample.
In addition, the 90 percent com-
pletion rate for Clarion University
sample lends credibility to the
survey data.
According to the University, the
generally positive scores recorded
by the State System and by
Clarion University would seem to
speak well for Clarion and many
of the institutions included in the
State System data.
Both Kuhn and Marshall
agreed, "We are very pleased by
the numbers. They give us confi-
dence that we are doing a good
job. this just provides the evi-
dence to back this up."

State System Briefs
New master's program for future
prinicipals to be offered at Millersville
The State System of Higher Education's Board of Governors has
approved a new master of education degree program at Millersville
University of Pennsylvania designed to prepare educators for certifi-
cation as elementary or secondary school principals.
More than 100 principal vacancies are expected to occur in the
region served by Millersville University in the next decade. The new
program was developed to attract and meet the needs of currenUy
employed teachers who aspire to become administrators. Courses
will be offered evenings and during the summer.
Participants in the program will have to earn 42 credits to receive
the master's degree. The requirements will include a 24-credit lead-
ership core and a three-credit internship.
Applicants will have to provide three letters of recommendation
from educators who have knowledge of their leadership potential,
complete the Professional Development Inventory, and be certified
at the level at which they will seek principal certification.
Millersville will be the fifth university within the State System to
offer a master's degree leading to elementary and secondary princi-
pal certification. Regional, state, and national data all indicate a
growing need for certified administrators.
Funding approved for projects at
Cheyney and Mansfield
The State System of Higher Education's Board of Governors has
approved funding for the construction of a new on-campus official
residence at Cheyney University of Pennsylvania and for renova-
tions to the official residence at Mansfield University of
Pennsylvania, in part, to bring it into compliance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act.
The new residence at Cheyney University will replace the current
off-campus residence, which was purchased by the institution in
1986. The off-campus residence will be sold and the proceeds
returned to the university.
Both projects were approved by the Board of Governors following
a review of various options.
Cheyney University's Council of Trustees asked the Board of
Governors to consider establishing an on-campus residence as part
of its ongoing efforts to "revitalize the campus community" and to
better serve students. The current residence is about four miles from
campus and is inaccessible to many students, nor can it be used for
campus functions.
The council initially recommended the System consider renovation
to Armstrong House, an 1815-era farm house that once served the
farmland on which Cheyney was built. Because of the historic
nature and age of the structure, however, the cost of renovations
would have totaled approximately $2.3 million.
The Board of Governors instead approved funding of up to
$650,000 from the System reserve to build a new official residence
on the campus. Project design is expected to take from six to eight
months, after which construction will begin. The residence could be
completed by late next year.
The Board has approved $275,000 in System reserve funds for the
project. Design and construction should be done within a year.

MLK series continues
Living the Dream Theatre presents the
play, "One Race, One People, One Peace"
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion CaJI Staff Writer §
Focusing on the "ties that
bind" but acknowledging the
"differences that make us
unique," Clarion hosted a stag-
ing of the play "One Race, One
People, One Peace" performed
by Living the Dream Theatre
Tuesday night in Hart Chapel.
Using a minimalist approach,
three actors and a singer pre-
sented first the problems with
race relations and their many
manifestations, from people
who speak of faux selected
unity, to those who are militant
about repression by "the man."
Much of this part was accom-
panied by the quiet, acapella
singing of Ms. Debrar
Chapmyn, who sang spirituals
and other songs having to do
with the struggles of minorities
in America today.
Each segment of the play
focused on similar problems,
climaxing with the chilling tale
of a protest-turned-riot in
South Carolina. From this
point until the end, actors
LaNita Austin, Saddi Khali,
and Quonta Beasley presented
the many ways in which some
progress may be made, most
profoundly in a segment called
"If America Apologized."
The play then concluded with
a call to action, in which the
actors led an audience-partici-
pation chant asking for no
more guns, and no more dying,
calling it a shame throughout.
At the end of the evening, the
company entertained a brief

question and answer period
and stayed around to meet with
the public.
Overall, I was very
impressed with the multimedia
presentation. No, there were
no computers or movies, but
the interplay between spoken
word and song created for a
layering effect that matched
the "pleading for change" tone
of the play. Chapmyn is to be
commended for her fine
singing skill, which added a
soulful and heartfelt aspect to
the subject.
Thir was slight confusion
with some of the dancelike
movements since their was no
explanation to their
significane in the performance.
In speaking with the cast
after the show, I asked what
each person found the most
rewarding. The cast all agreed
that the reactions of the crowd,
both spoken and silent, were
the reason they continued to
travel around. Both Austin and
Khali said they enjoyed the
company's traveling.
I asked the cast what the
most memorable performance
they had done was. Debrar
told me about the time Living
the Dream performed their
show, sweeping movements
and all, in the hallway of a res-
ident home, with people con-
stantly coming and going.
Living the Dream theatre is
adamant about two things:
first, they are a multicultural,
multiracial company, despite
the make-up of this particular
cast. Second, to survive, they
need new blood, as with any
organization. If any of this
sounds appealing to you,
Living the Dream may be con-
tacted through Debrar

Music Review
"Portishead's" Roseland NYC Live proves
electronica can be "livened" up
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call
Assistant Lifestyles Editor
?%. "W v

*:<*«*:*!
Portishead is one of those bands
you wouldn't really expect to trans-
late well onto a live disc. They seem
to be a strictly studio group, as most
of their music relies on samples, pro-
gramming, and keyboards. But on
their new album, Roseland NYC
Live, Portishead proves to be just as
good on stage as behind the mixing
board, as they perform at the
Roseland concert hall in New York
City.
That's where the disc's one fault
lies, though; Portishead is just too
good in the flesh. These versions of
their songs are basically the same as
the studio renditions, singer Beth
Gibbons doesn't interact with the
Movie Review
audience much, and the crowd in
attendance is rather subdued, not
providing the record with much
background noise. Not one note is
missed, and the sound is nothing
short of impeccable.
Portishead is backed by a full
orchestra during the performance,
which gives the music a much more
concrete body, making their songs
sound richer and fuller than ever.
The only problem is that the orches-
tra isn't utilized quite as much as it
should be, which just leaves the syn-
thesizers. Mixer Geoff Barrow does-
n't miss a beat but doesn't change
any of the random bursts of noise in
the songs from what's on the albums.
That leaves it feeling rather paint-by-
the-numbers. Beth Gibbons is in top
form throughout the performance,
with her haunting and desperate
wails. Her voice is like a black
locust cloud moving slowly across
the already bleak landscape of their
dark creations.
At the end of the disc, a song from
a seperate performance is offered up
and makes you wish the whole
album was of that concert. With less
programming and without the
orchestra, it features grinding guitars
and the smaller setting of a cramped
club, rather than a concert hall.
Gibbons and the rest of the band
careens out of control on the song
"Sour Times." By the end of the
tune, Gibbons is screaming like a
banshee in labor, and the group is
playing only a shell of the original
song structure. It's exhilarating and
makes the rest of the album pale next
to it.
Perhaps it could have been a better
album if it was only Beth Gibbons
and the orchestra performing, minus
the synthesizers. Still, it's impossi-
ble to not like it, the music is so
excellent. Roseland NYC Live basi-
cally functions as a greatest hits col-
lection from their first two albums
and is a fine introduction to the group
for neophytes. On my five-star rat-
ing system, Portishead has earned
themselves a 4 and 1/2.
Also out now is the debut CD from
the metal-industrial-techno act
Orgy. You know, it's not everyday
that a band this awful comes along.
What was the competent and enjoy-
able band Korn thinking when they
chose Orgy's disc Candya** to be
the first record released through their
Elementree label?
Coming off as nothing more than a
bad rip-off of Nine Inch Nails and
Stabbing Westward, Orgy falls flat
on their collective faces with this
utterly embarrassing effort. Only a
couple of songs on the album work
at all, and the remainder of the album
is completely forgettable.
Sonically, it's impressive, if a little
droll, considering it's all been heard
before; and it was much better then.
The guitars grind, sinister synths boil
up, and the drums beat without stop.
But it all doesn't add up to an intense
and satisfying industrial record. The
lyrics are laughably bad, as their
singer tries to sound evil and
prophetic, but instead comes off like
an industrial parody band. To put it
simply, Candya** is just plain bor-
ing. If they just could have come up
with a decent set of songs to support
their sound, it might have been a
mediocre album; nothing to change
the state of the industrial rock world,
but at least listenable.
The best song on the album is one
that they didn't even write them-
selves. Orgy covers the classic
dance track "Blue Monday" from the
seminal British band New Order.
Orgy does a good job of turning a
seven-minute dance opus into a
snarling, dirty rock anthem. They
don't really change the song that
much, just add heavier guitars.
"Stitches," the first single is halfway
decent, and that's where the album's
graces end.
Orgy's Candya** is completely
awful and unrecommendable. On
my five-star rating system, Orgy has
received a half-star (and my advice
to them that they should turn into
nothing but an 80s cover band).
Varsity Blues tackles football in a small town
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
When I saw the trailer for
Varsity Blues, the new film about
football players who party hard,
defy authority, and are regarded
as demi-gods by the local towns-
people, my initial reaction was,
"Great! I'll be paying to spend
two more hours in high school!"
Actually, I'm only joking. All
the football players I knew were
nice guys caught up in the bloat-
ed expectations of athletic direc-
tors and rabid local sports fans
clamoring for a winning season.
Ambridge, PA might be a football
town, but certainly not to the
degree of West Canaan, the set-
ting of MTV's Varsity Blues.
The film chronicles the final
football season of high school
senior Jonathan Moxon, played
by "Dawson's Creek" star James
Van Der Beek. Moxon, the sec-
ond-string quarterback for the
West Canaan Coyotes, is becom-
ing unable to deal with his town's
dependance on football and his
growing apathy towards the
game, both of which are due in
large part to the maniacal control
of Coach Bud Kilmer (John
Voight). Coach Kilmer has won
district titles practically every
year he's coached the Coyotes, a
fact not lost on either the citizens
of West Canaan or the players
who endure physical and mental
torture to gain their coach's
approval.
At times it seems as if Moxon
and his fellow teammates, includ-
ing massive Billy Bob (Ron
Lester) and habitually drunk
Tweeder (Scott Caan), want noth-
ing more out of high school foot-
ball than to leave it behind them.
All the characters' joy of the
game has been sapped from them
due to the immense pressure to
bring home yet another section
title.
If the characters of Varsity
Blues had fleshed out the charac-
ters better or perhaps sacrificed
the temptation for a few cheap
iokes about fat guys and strippers,
the film might have come across
as more of an earnest effort to
show the hardships that small-
town high school football players
face. Then again, Varsity Blues
was made by MTV, the same
folks who've brought us approxi-
mately 19,000 straight "Road
Rules" marathons and. of course,
the garbled mess known as Jesse
Camp.
No, Varsity Blues won't be con-
tending for any Oscars next year.
It is, however, an entertaining
teen flick featuring enough sex n'
football to make up for its short-
comings. The football scenes, in
addition to being the best part of
the film, are painful enough to
make anyone reconsider their
high school dream to play starting
QB. The film's adrenaline high
comes during a scene where the
Coyotes are being demolished on
the field as AC/DC's
"Thunderstruck" pumps in the
background. As for sex, let's just
say that whipped cream feteshists
will get a big kick out of a certain
scene late in the film.
Jon Voight works well as
Kilmer, giving a nice perfor-
mance despite the fact that his
character is slightly one-dimen-
tional, offering no redeemable
qualities other than his uncanny
ability to lead the Coyotes to sec-
tion titles. A little explanation for
Kilmer's absolute obsession with
winning would have been nice.
Coach Kilmer is so hell-belle

NYPD Blue begins again with a fresh face
by Kate O'Hare
College Press Exchange
It's "Hello," "Good-bye" and
"Welcome back" as ABC's police
drama "NYPD Blue" continues
through its sixth season Tuesdays
at 10 ET on ABC.
Cast arrivals and departures are
nothing beginning with the much-
publicized exit of original series
star David Caruso as John Kelly,
who was partner to Dectective
Andy Sipowicz, played by multi-
ple-Emmy winner Dennis Franz.
Caruso was replaced by Jimmy
Smits, as Dectective Bobby
Simone.
Now it's Smit's turn to go, which
he did on November 24.
Sipowicz's new partner is Rick
Schroder, as narcotics Detective
Danny Sorenson.
Is series creator Steven Bocho
nervous about such a major disrup-
tion? "Nah," he says. "It's hard to
really be nervous about things you
can't control. What we can con-
trol, which is the work, I'm not
nervous about because we have a

pretty good fix on what we're
doing."
After the hard nosed, red-haired
Caruso and the quietly intense,
dark Smits, the announcement of
blond-haired Schroder was a sur-
prise to some who only remember
him as the child star of the movie
'The Champ" and the series
"Silver Spoons."
But those who saw him in
"Lonesome Dove" and in some of
the TV-movies he's done knew that
Schroder had developed into a
mature, well-rounded actor.
"He's an excellent, excellent
actor," says Boncho. 'Somebody
asked me if I was surprised that he
was so good, and I said, no, I was-
n't surprised he was good, what
surprised me is that he was so
appropriate. Thai's what I would-
n't have expected. He was credi-
ble, playing this kind of character.
That's the part that I think sur-
prised all of us."
This person walks in a room, that
you have, had a preconceived
notion about, and he really dis-
abuses you of the notion. That was
terrific."
What sort of a character is
Sorenson?
We're trying to create a character
who, at least on the surface, is a
very straight-ahead young guy,"
syas Bochco. "He's not particular-
ly neurotic, not particularly with-
drawn or angst-ridden or anything
like that, a guy who, what you see
is what you get. '
"And what you see is a young,
confident, really bright police offi-
cer, who's sort of respectful of his-
older colleagues, but by the same
token, has some self-confidence in
his own abilities. It's only in the
fullness of time that we'll begin to
explore not so much a darker side
of his character, but a more com-
plex aspect of the character.
"You don't have to be neurotic to
be complicated or complex. It's
important, when you're building a
character, particularly a character
that you have to build into the
character layers, so that you have
places to go, things to reveal. I
think we'll do all of that."
Will Andy get along with
Sorenson" "I don't know about
that," says Boncho. "You know,
this is not a guy that gives it up that
easily."
Bochco reveals that part of the
reason for the Sorenson character
is a deal he struck with fellow
witer/producer David Milch over
the death of Sipowicz's son, Andy
Jr. (played by Michael De Luise),
which Milch favored and Bochco
opposed.
"I didn't want to do it. I really
didn't want to do it. I thought it ran
the risk of really being manipula-
tive. I was uncomfortable with it.
We went back and forth about it for
some time, and I finally said to
him, Til make you a deal. You
can kill this kid off, but I want
another you rig guy in the show
somewhere in the next year or two
thereafter, to reignite those emo-
tions in Sipowicz of mentoring and
parenting, that for a character like
that would be so dramatic and trou-
bling."

Paper covers rock-impeached!
by Dave Barry
Syndicated columnist
In case you've been too busy to
follow the Trial Of The Century in
the U.S. Senate, here's the com-
plete official transcript so far:
SERGEANT AT ARMS: Hear ye!
Hear ye! Hear ye! All persons shut
up and pay attention for the trial
of the impeachment of the presi-
dent of the United States, William
Jefferson Clinton, on charges of
messing around! No chewing of
gum!
SEN. LOTT: At this time, in
accordance with the United States
Senate Big Book 0' Rules, Sen.
Thurmond shall swear in the
Chief Justice of the United States.
SEN. THURMOND: Raise your
right hand.
(The Chief Justice raises his
hand.)
SEN. THURMOND (whispering
to Sen. Lott): Why is he raising
his hand?
SEN LOTT: You told him to.
SEN THURMOND: I told WHO
to?
SEN LOTT: The Chief Justice.
SEN THURMOND: Well, that's
different. (To the Chief Justice:)
Do you solemnly swear to tell the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth until death do you part?
THE CHIEF JUSTICE: I do.
SEN. THURMOND: You do
WHAT?
SEN. LOTT: At this time, the
Chief Justice shall administer the
Oath Of Solemn Swearing to all
senators hereintofore present.
THE CHIEF JUSTICE: Do you
solemnly swear that in all things
appertaining to and in pursuance
of the trial of the impeachment of
William James Madison Clinton,
cross your heart and hope to die,
including engine and transmission
for three years or 30,000 miles,
whichever conies first'?
SENATORS: I do.
THE CHIEF JUSTICE: At this
time, the Chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee shall present
the Articles of Impeachment of
President Abraham Lincoln
Clinton.
REP. HYDE (presenting the arti-
cles): Check out these babies.
SENATORS: Whoa.
SEN. KENNEDY: Does anybody
want that cigar?
THE CHIEF JUSTICE: The arti-
cles of impeachment of President
William Woodrow Wilson having
been presented, the Majority
Leader and the Minority Leader
shall now proceed with the
Choosing Of Who Goes First.
SEN. LOTT and SEN.
DASCHLE: Once, twice,
shoot!
THE CHIEF JUSTICE: The Chair
observes that the Minority Leader
made a rock and the Majority
Leader made paper. The Chair
rules that paper beats rock.
SEN. DASCHLE: I didn't make a
rock! I made a crab!
SEN. LOTT: Objection! This is
Rock, Paper, Scissors! You can't
make a crab!
SEN. DASCHLE: Yes I can!
Look! He's waving his claws!
CHIEF JUSTICE: The Chair rules
that paper beats crab. The prose-
cution shall proceed.
REP. HYDE: For its first witness,
the prosecution calls to the stand
White House aide Sidney
Blumenthal. Mr. Blumenthal,
please state your name.
MR. BLUMENTHAL: I don't
recall.
SEN. THURMOND: Me either.
REP. HYDE: Mr. Blumenthal,
would it be fair to state that you
remind a lot of people of some
kind of burrowing carnivore?
PERRY MASON: Objection, your
honor! He's badgering the wit-
ness!
REP. HYDE: I'll withdraw the
question. The prosecution calls as
its next witness Monica S.
Lewinsky. Miss Lewinsky, on the
evening of Nov. 15, 1995, did you
go to the White House wearing
'"thong" style underwear?
MISS LEWINSKY: Yes.
REP. HYDE: And are these the
underwear in question?
PERRY MASON: Objection!
He's wearing them backward!
THE CHIEF JUSTICE: The Chair
will allow it.
REP. HYDE: And while you were
thus bethonged, Miss Lewinsky,
did the president, William Baines
Johnson, to your knowledge, com-
mit a high crime or misdemeanor
or take some form of gander?
SEN. THURMOND: Are we
voting on Barbecue Safely
Awareness Week?
REP. HYDE: Not right now.
SEN. THURMOND: Good,
because I'm against it.
MISS LEWINSKY: Yes.
REP. HYDE: Yes WHAT?
MISS LEWINSKY: I don't recall.
SEN. THURMOND: Or maybe
I'm for it.
THE CHIEF JUSTICE: You
know, The Chair has been think-
ing, and The Chair is starting to
wonder if maybe crab beats paper,
after all. Because the crab could
EAT the paper, right? Is The Chair
right?
SEN. LOTT: How come you
always refer to yourself as "The
Chair?"
THE CHIEF JUSTICE: The Chair
doesn't know; The Chair just
always has. Even as a child, The
Chair would tell its mother, "Wah!
The Chair wants a bottle!"
Speaking of which, The Chair
could eat a horse. AH in favor of
lunch say "Aye."
SENATORS: Aye!
SEN. THURMOND: You may
now kiss the bride.
CUP theatre wins prestigious award
"Servant of Two Masters" wins
ACTF award
by Cory Pittman
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Clarion Theater Department per-
formed The Servant of Two Masters bv
Carlo Goldoni for the American
College Theatre Festival on Friday,
January 15, 1999, held at Juniata
College.
After performing The Servant of Two
Masters here at Clarion, the company
was selected to perform at the Region II
Kennedy Center / American College
Theatre Festival. This festival is held
annually to highlight exceptional stu-
dents and performances around the
country. If chosen, a production of per-
former could go as far as the Kennedy
Center in Washington D.C. to be show-
cased and recieve national recognition.
When Clarion performed The Servant
of Two Masters for the American
College Theatre Festival on January 1 5,
they were welkecieved with riumerous
show-stopping laughs, and ended with
a lengthy standing ovation. In addition
to the warm reception, their perfor-
mance was chosen to compete among
the eight other regions across the coun-
try. If their performance is chosen to be
among the top Ave in the country, they
will again perform Servant at the
Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.
Along with this great honor, they were
bestowed with the Golden Truck
award This award is given to the com-
pany who can best set up and tear down
their stage in the smallest amount of
time.
In addition to the honors given to the
production, two gentlemen were given
awards for their work on former pro-
ductions. Marty Savolskis iecieved the
Regional Crafts award for his design of
props in A..My Name Is Alice. Also,
Scott Weston recieved the Barbazon for
Regional Lighting Design for Women
In Mind .
This award gives Mr. Weston the
chance tocompete with 7 other winners
at the finals in Washington D.C.
Three individuals were also chosen to
compete in the semi-finaLs for the Irene
Ryan acting scholarships. The Theater
Department was very proud of the
behavior, attitude, and professionalism
of the cast and crew from Clarion. Also
mentionable is that after many years of
participation, the Clarion University
Theater Department is finally becoming
a well-known name in ACTFs.
The cast of The Servant of Two
Masters includes Chris Taylor, Kristie
Belles, Eric Grugel, Trevor Southworth,
Laura Reichert, Robert Zinsmeister,
Jonathon Toth, Molli Hamilton, Jarrod
Fry, Micheal J. Fox, Danielle Garman.
Marie WeUiver, and Miranda Scopel.
The production staff included:
Marilouse Michel, Edward J. Powers,
Myra Bullington, Scott Weston, Natalie
Smith, Joe Gourley, Rebecca Zeigler,
and Tim Free.
blues i Varsity Blues from page 11
on achieving a "perfect season"
that he forces his players to go out
on the field with a myriad of injuries
ranging from hurt knees to concus-
sions.
The teenage leads, especially Van
Der Beek and Lester, are likeable
enough. With the exception of
Voight, the adult leads give some of
the most embarrassing small-town-
hick performances I've ever seen.
No wonder Coach Kilmer has the
entire town of West Canaan under
his thumb. He's the only adult in
the film with an 1Q that's greater
than his belt size.
Varsity Blues is already in the run-
ning for my Worst Subplot of the
Year Award. Throughout the film,
Moxon's little brother desses up like
various religious figures, going so
far as to tie himself to a wooden
cross in the beginning of the film.
Not only do his scenes have
absolutely nothing to do with the
plot or any of the other characters, it
commits the cardinal sin of goofy
subplots by being completely
unfunny.
In the end, the usual sports movie
questions are asked. Will the under-
does manage to rise to the occasion
and win the big game? Will their
often practiced secret big play
(which has never worked up until
then) finally result in a win? We
might all know the answers to these
questions, but that still doesn't take
away from the silly fun of Varsity
Blues. If nothing else, the film
proves that even a quarterback with
a heart of gold and a defensive end
with a butt of laid can still wind up
on top.

Clarion University's
Tippin Gymnasium was the
center of attention on the East
Regional basketball scene
Saturday evening.
The Golden Eagles,
ranked third in the East in
Division II, played host to
independent power Pitt-
Johnstown, the fourth ranked
squad in the region. The
result was a 72-68 loss for
Clarion, its second loss in
three outings.
The Eagles, forced to
play without Senior captain
Marvin Wells, the teams top
rebounder, fell to 15-3 on the
season, while Pitt-Johnstown
stands at an identical 15-3.
The Mountain Cats
led for a majority of the con-
test, opening up their biggest
lead early (13 points) early in
the second half. The Eagles
were forced to play the catch-
up game the rest of the con-
test, as Brad Wright's two free
throws with just under five
minutes remaining pulled the
Eagles within one point.
However, UPJ would up the
lead to eight points-a margin
Clarion would not be able to
overcome.
Clarion did, however,
manage to stay within striking
distance. Shooting guard
Lormont Sharp drained a
three-pointer and sank a free
throw to sever the lead to 69-
65. Pitt-Johnstown clawed
back with an Allen Jenkins
free throw to make it a five
point contest, but Sharp
brought the Eagles within two
points by completing a three-
point play.
However, Jenkins
again found himself on the
line, this time with four ticks
left on the clock, where he
drained both shots to seal the
UPJ victory.
Sharp led the Golden
Eagle effort with 26 points.
Freshman David Shearer con-
tinues to impress, adding 15
points and hauling in eight
boards. Wright, a senior, was
close behind with 13 markers.
Justin Walthier was
the high man for the Mountain
Cats, dropping 22 markers,
Eugene Wilson recorded 16
points and Larry Townes
enjoyed a double-double with
10 points and 10 rebounds.
The Eagles were in
action last night at California
University of Pennsylvania
for a battle of first-place
teams.

What is your opinion on the playoffs, and who do you
forecast to win the Super Bowl?
Mark Strieker-After the Steelers lost, I stopped paying
attention.
Tim Bowerman-I feel that they were exciting because the
usual teams didn't win. Gotta go with the dirty bird.
Don Ursich--The playoffs were the best I've seen in years,
and don't count out Atlanta.
Kristen Davis-Who's in it again? Go Denver!
Liz Thomas-I think the playoffs were a total scam and I
think the Vikings should have won. I think Denver will win,
but I would rather see Atlanta win.

Two CU students were attacked last week

Clarion Call New Editor
The investigation is continuing into
two assaults on two Clarion University
students last week.
A 20-year-old female student told
Clarion Borough Police Jan. 27 that she
was assaulted and knocked to the ground
by a male attacker outside an apartment
building in the 600 block of Liberty
Street, sometime between 7>L5 p.m. and
7:30 p.m. The victim toWfpolice that
she was knocked unconscious and was*
lying on the ground when |j^m" round
by a resident of the apartment building.
According to police, the victim did not
know her attacker. She sustained minor
injuries in the incident.
The second incident occurred in the
early morning hours of Jan. 29, when a
21-year-
struggle, and the victim was able to
break away and she then ran into a
sorority house, police said.
This student was not injured in the inci-

Chandler's make-over finally underway

Clarion Call Staff vVkter
Students using Chandler Dining
Hall this semester may notice
some changes, as the renovation
project moves ahead.
Plans for the facility involve
opening up the old four-line food
service area to create a food court
atmosphere.
The entire Ralston side of
Chandler is now closed for reno-
vation. Students may only enter
the building from the Ballentine
side of Chandler.
However, at peak hours, more
than one ID scanner is in opera-
tion. "It seems to be going pretty
smoothly. It gets hectic, but we
get students in and out," said Barb
Miller, cashier.
Occasionally the line into the
hall snakes down the back steps
but students still get in within five
minutes.

Clarion's enrollment takes
a slight rise for Spring 1999
• After the end
of drop/add, 5,402
students can be
found at Clarion
University.
by Steve Ostrosky
; Clarion Call News Editor ^
Preliminary figures released
last week show a slight increase
in enrollment for the 1999 spring
semester over the 1998 spring
semester.
The total count, compiled at the
end of the drop/add period, is
5,402. That figure shows an
increase of 19 students, or 0.4
percent.
Full Time Equivalency stands
at 5,133, an increase of 1.1 per-
cent or 55 students. On the
Clarion campus, there was a
headcount increase of 67, or a
1 .4 percent rise. Also, there was
a 77 Full Time Equivalency, or
1 .6 percent increase.
According to the University,
spring enrollment usually aver-
ages anywhere between 91 per-
cent to 91.5 percent of the previ-
ous fall semester totals.
According to these early figures,
spring 1999 figures for CU are
running at 92 percent of fall
1998's total of 5,866.
In some other information from
the early figures, Venango
Campus in Oil City enrolled 23
new, full-time undergraduates
and graduate student enrollment
is up by 7.2 students. Five of
those grad students are full-time.
Also, the Clarion campus now
has 48 more full-time undergrad-

'Sequelle' editor defends the
book's honor, Call scolded
Job well done CU on
reporting attacks
University administration through quick distribution of a
memo concerning the recent attacks, halted the rumor
mill which could have resulted in an exaggerated panic.
By publicizing the attacks, the administrators more effec-
tively displayed concern for the students, opposed to
when incidents are taken to the Misconduct Board and
never heard of again.
There is safety in numbers, especially when the masses
are educated about the situation at hand. By distributing
the memo in the residence halls and high-traffic buildings
like Gemmell, students were provided with the best
weapon against crime - knowledge.
Here are a few tips to help you stay safe:
■ PROJECT A CONFIDENT ATTmUDE: Studies of
sex offenders have indicated that they definitely use a
"screening process" when evaluating their potential vic-
tims for attack. Some of the characteristics that the
offenders believe make the victim approachable area:
confusion, disorientation (alcohol and drugs), inattention
to surroundings, lack of confidence and compliance.
^TRAVEL IN GROUPS: Victims of assaults, particular-
ly sexual assults, are usually attacked when they are
alone. For this reason, it's always best to travel with at
least one other person.
■USE: Public walkways, avoid shortcuts, dark or select-
ed places.
■BE ALERT: The vast majority of all sexual assaults are
committed by offenders who know their victims, and
stranger attacks are rare. It's always a good policy to
limit contact with strangers.
tfTRUST YOUR INSTINCTS: If you're in an area and
you become nervous, get out of that area. If someone's
behaviors or attitude makes you think twice, get away
from that person. Your subconscious may begin to warn
you about a situation long before any know danger
becomes apparent. If that happens, listen to the warning,
and act on it.

Office of University Relations at Clarion University.
"There are no other words quite like it... The
Sequelle"
I am writing to the editor of the Clarion Call in
response to the 1/28/99 edition, which included a list
of good and bad things that have happened to
Clarion. How dare the Call single out the
'Sequelle' because of its past difficulties. As a mem-
ber of its staff, I get so frustrated when people tell us
how the hell to do a yearbook! ' Your suggestions for
replacing the 'Sequelle' were not only offensive but
could never be seen as a replacement for the
'Sequelle!' Replacing the 'Sequelle' with a CD
ROM requires a lot of money (would the CSA spon-
sor that?) Besides, technology is developing very
rapidly. How effective will that CD be in a few years
when a new wave of technology comes along replac-
ing the CD drive with a new, state of the art device?
Nothing can compare to a tangible, hard cover book.
As for a video, who the hell has time to sit back and
watch a video? The "video yearbook" rage ended
when people realized that it would only be watched
a few times. Video, eh? What about the expense of
putting together a "video yearbook?" Would that not
be more expensive than a hard-bound yearbook? And
about your regarding about funding; the CSA has
begun to drop our funding because we are trying to
be "self-supporting" through yearbook purchasing
fees.
We have changed so much the past year. We have
utilized the internet and e-mail to communicate with
students and faculty. With our technology up-grade,
we have been able to introduce new concepts in the
1999 'Sequelle'. We are attempting to photograph
the faculty of the University, an attempt that has not
been initiated since 1985. We are working with a
new publisher, advisor, and way of thinking. We
have been trying new designs and themes to usher in
the millennium. I can't help it if the Call can only
loom in the past, which had nothing to do with pre-
sent staff! It is tough to do a job when all you can
see and hear are the ghosts of pages that you never
wrote.
Are you aware how old the 'Sequelle' is? At the
moment, we are working on its 90th volume. That is
90 years of production. We are one of the oldest col-
lege yearbooks. I have only found a few older than
us... Oberlin (93 years) and Harvard (95 years). If
you want to see how Clarion ortce was., go to the
library. The 'Sequelle', with its 90 volumes has
given a great record of Clarion's past. (Your can see
when Seminary Hall was torn down or which chem-
istry professors are still around from 1975.)
Without the 'Sequelle', who would report the his-
tory of this campus? The Call? How long does a
newspaper last before the acid in its fibers turns it
yellow? As a written media, the Call knows what it
is like to create a document. But managing a book
that is 225 pages with six distinct sections is whole
new ball game. I must say that I am not a communi-

''...Gobbler's Knob
has become one big
keg stand."
Jason Dambach
A "Fun-Philled" Phestival
February 2nd. It's not a day that
most people routinely circle on
their calendars. In fact, to most,
it's just a regular mid-week work-
day.
But in the town of Punxsutawney,
just 35 miles south of Clarion, this
"regular" Tuesday is what keeps
the small community of just over
6,000 people in business.
And for as seemingly foolish as
the whole idea is, you have to
admit that Groundhog Day in
Punxsutawney receives more
media attention, both national and
even international, than perhaps
any small-town celebration in the
United States.
Having been bom and raised in
Punxsutawney, and having per-
sonally witnessed Groundhog
Day's transformation from a nice,
intimate gathering of townfolk
and residents from surrounding
areas to the present-day media-
fest it has svolved into, I feel
qualified to speak on both its
ridiculousness and importance.
First, I must confess that I have
never once gone to Gobbler's
Knob, the quasi home of
Punxsutawney Phil, who by all
rights should be where every
other hole-digging rodent ends
up, but was selected as living
mascot for small-town America.
The reason I've never ventured up
to the Knob has nothing to do
with how seemingly ridiculous
the whole event is, or because
nine out of every ten years the
temperature is below freezing,
but, instead, it is more a commen-
tary, or should I say a meltdown,
on Punxsutawney itself.
Just take a drive there any day
of the year with the exception of
Feb. 2nd, and you'll see what I
mean. You want to shop? Keep
driving to DuBois or Indiana.
Tired and want to stay the night? I
hope you have reclining seats in
your car because you sure aren't
going to find any motels. Need a
job? Keep on driving? My point
is that while Groundhog Day is
extremely important to the econo-
my of Punxsutawney, the town
still hasn't milked it for all that
it's worth.
Don't get me wrong, I am very
proud to be from Punxsutawney.
I think it's great that when my
buddies and I took a road trip to
Minnesota this past summer, my
friends from the DuBois area had
to tell everyone that they were
from "north of Pittsburgh," while
when I said that I'm from
Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, the
response was "Isn't that where the
groundhog comes out of the hole
to see his shadow?" Of course
that was usually followed by "So
what the hell are you doing
here?," but it was nice to know
that my hometown of 6,000 peo-
ple is known in downtown
Minneapolis.
The most intriguing element of
Groundhog Day, though, is just
what is it that draws as many as
20,000 people for a pre-dawn cer-
emony in 20-degree weather.
Certainly, the answers range from
"a big party" to "curiosity".
Anyone from this University
probably who attended this year's
celebration had the latter in mind.
And with "high academic institu-
tions" such as Clarion, IUP, and
Slippery rock within two hours,
Gobbler's Knob has become one
big keg stand.
What has always gotten me is
why people come from other
states to attend the Groundhog
Day festivities. Two years ago,
when Feb. 2nd fell on a Sunday, I
happened to be home for the big
day. As I strolled around town the
day before. I saw motor homes,
vans, and cars from most eastern
states, and one from Missouri.
Certainly, if I had looked harder I
could have counted more states.
The best story though occurred

Editorial
Leslie Suhr, Managing Editor
This is my first editorial as
a member of the executive
board at the Call. I thought
I'd just sit down and write
this without any difficulty. I
was wrong. I mean, I don't
want to bore you and I'm not
the type to get up close and
personal either.
So, after sitting back and
thinking about this for quite
some time, many ideas poured
into my head. Should I talk
about something serious?
How about something contro-
versial? Something fun? No,
those just don't seem to be
exactly what I wanted to write
about.
Then, an idea came to me.
Clarion students know what
goes on at campus. There are
athletics, clubs, and produc-
tions and movies. When you
look at it, there is plenty to
keep us busy. And plenty to
keep us here on the weekends.
And, I've noticed, students
seem to know a lot about
what's happening at Clarion.
Those same students may or
may not like what's happen-
ing, but students need to take
an active voice in letting their
concerns be heard.
Basically, I guess what I'm
saying is, Clarion needs to get
actively involved with their
concerns here. Speak your
minds and have a voice. Sure,
we're all here for a college
education, but we're also here
to take advantage of the
opportunities that are given to
us.
It just seems like there
seems to be a lack of commit-
ment on behalf of the stu-
dents. If you want to become
involved in something, pursue
it. If you believe in some-
thing strongly enough, defend
it. And if you like

the same year, as I was fighting
for a parking space at the grocery
store. A lady approached me and
asked if I cold tell here where the
movie Groundhog Day had
been filmed in town. When I told
her that it had been filmed in
Woodstock, Illinois, she couldn't
believe it. She and her husband
had driven from Toledo, not
because she wanted to see the
ceremony, but because
Groundhog Day was her
favorite movie of all time.
Groundhog Day over Gone

Of course, 'Phil' and
Groundhog Day isn't solely cen-
tered on Punxsutawney. There's
General Beaureguard Lee down
in Georgia, Buckeye Chuck in
Ohio, and a poor fellow in
Canada who disappointed sever-
al onlookers by dying shortly
before he was to have come out
of his hole. But what is satisfy-
ing to me is that Punxsuatwney
has been recognized as the
"Home of the Groundhog," a true
testament to the American dream
that you can make it from the
small-time to the limelight.
So in closing, don't do as I do,
but do as I say. Do yourself a
favor and check out the hoopla,
even if you're skeptical as me.
you're doing keep with it. If
more students keep their
involvement in activities,
more could be accomplished.
After awhile, the students

News
Senate helps CU athletics comply with new NCAA rules
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
More than $16,000 in alloca-
tions were approved Monday
night at the fourteenth Student
Senate meeting of the academic
year.
$9,160 was allocated to
Intercollegiate Athletics for sports
teams to follow new policies
being enacted by the National
Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA).
$2,160 was allocated from the
supplemental account for the pur-
chase of new baseball bats.
Athletic director Bob Carlson
said that new regulations have
eliminated metal bats, forcing the
University and others across the
nation to purchase wooden bats.
An allocation of up to but not
exceeding $7,000 from the capital
account was given for the pur-
chase of new football jerseys,
pending the approval of CU
President Diane Reinhard.
New jerseys are necessary,
according to Carlson, because of a
new NCAA rule requiring all foot-
ball jerseys to be longer in length.
Senate was asked to pay for half
of the cost and the football team
would be chipping in the rest of
the funding.
Originally, the allocation stood
at $4,850 but, after further discus-
sion and two amendments, the
total was increased.
Carlson said that an allocation
of $7,000 would enable the foot-
ball team to order jerseys similar
to the current ones, only longer.
The original allocation would
have covered the purchase of jer-
seys that would have been more
plain, Carlson said.
In other appropriations news,
$4,700 was given from the sup-
plemental account to the Clarion
University Cheerleaders and the
Dance Team in order for them to
rent a bus to travel to the National
Collegiate Championships in
Daytona Beach, Fla. later this
semester.
"It's quite an honor for us to
attend," said Senator Nick
Chervenak, who is also a member
of the cheerleaders. "Something
like this hardly ever happens to a
Division-II school.. .We' re hoping
to make our mark on history."
The final appropriation of the
night was for $2,609 from the
supplemental account to the
Financial Management
Association for members to attend
a student leaders conference in
Chicago.
Senate Treasurer Leslie Suhr
read the latest account totals, prior
to the allocations which were
approved during the meeting.
There is $118,631 in the capital
account and $ 1 16,984 in the large-
item capital account.
$40,603 is the current total in the
supplemental account and there is

attempted to have the budgeting
packets for the 1999-2000 acade-

Senator Shannon Bean left the

Bean's early exit forced Senate

The United States Small
Business Association (SBA) in
an open house this past
December recognized the
Clarion University of
Pennsylvania Small Business
Development Center (SBDC).
The SBDC was honored with
a plaque on Dec. 8 in Moore
Hall "for its outstanding perfor-
mance in counseling, training,
capital formation, and advocacy
for the small business communi-
ty during the fiscal year 1997 in
north central Pennsylvania."
Present at the open house were
Clarion University President
Diane Reinhard and University
trustees Oleta Amsler, Sue
Burns, and Raymond Peltcs.
The SBDC, which was formed
in 1980, not only consists of
students and faculty but also of
business professionals.
These professionals are fund-
ed by the SBA and consult small
businesses who are just starting
out or those who would like to
expand their business. Last
year, along with helping around
500 businesses, the SBDC also
raised capitol to the sum of
$9.95 million.
The recognition marked the
end of a wonderful year for the
SBDC, which saw the organiza-
tion accredited.
The Pennsylvania SBDC, a
statewide network of 17 college
and university based business
assistance centers, was accredit-
ed as well.
>
After a week-long audit con-
ducted by the American Small
Business Development Center .
(ASBDC) the Pennsylvania
SBDC system was accredited by
the national organization.
The system was evaluated on
several criteria including their
strategic plan, commitment to
quality service, service delivery,
efficient use of resources, cost
effectiveness and economic
impact.
It is excellence in these areas
that not only led to the accredi-
tation, but also to the plaque
awarded to Clarion's chapter.
Dr. Woodrow Yeaney, director
of the Clarion SBDC, feels that
the recognition and the accredi-
tation will help attract the type
of student who wants real world
experience.
"It is important to have these
kind of services in a small com-
munity," Yeaney commented.
"In the long run, we are educa-
tors in a different kind of class-
room, helping to formulate mar-
keting plans, conduct financial
analysis and provide other ser-
vices where needed."
The SBDC provides real
world experience to undergrad-
uate and graduate students.
Each individual has a different
experience depending on their
year of study and the experience
they have had in the past.
Erin Defibaugh, a freshman
special education/elementary
education major, works with
budget supervisor Nancy
Weaver on the $6,000 SBDC
budget and performs clerical
functions such as bookkeeping.
She feels the work she's con-
ducted with the SBDC will help
her fulfill her career objective
of being a school principal.
"I've met a lot of people and
the (SBDC) will help with con-
nections and references in the
future," Definbaugh said.
Tina Kennemuth, a graduate
student working on her MBA
encounters a more advanced
level of work with the SBDC by
assisting the professionals on
the work they perform for the
small businesses.
A majority of her is helping
research for business plans. She
said, "I hope the experience I
gained here will help me on a
resume."
Undergraduate Colette
Vickers has already put her
experience to practical use. She
said her two years with the
SBDC helped land her a job
with a CPA firm.

Official enrollment figures will be announced by the State
System of Higher Education later this year. The official figures

Clarion's enrollment dropped by 1.38 percent in the fall, despite
an increase of students at main campus.
Declines last fall at Venango Campus, West Penn Hospital in
Pittsburgh and a site at Clearfield all attributed to the slight enroll-
ment slide.

Money for the project comes
from $800,000 originally provid-
ed by DAKA and money from
reserves.
DAKA restaurants was selected
two years ago when the
University re-bid for the food ser-
vice contract. Prospective com-
panies were told to submit a plan
for the renovation of the dining
hall.
The design of the renovation is
based on DAKAs proposal which
stemmed from a partnership with
an architectural construction and
design firm out of Baltimore.
DAKAs parent company was
acquired by Compass Group
U$A. Chartwells is Compass's
food service division for elemen-
tary schools and colleges.
Denise Gilbert, Director of
Reimer Snack Bar, declined to
comment whether or not more
students are eating there since the
start of the renovation.
"When we first opened up (for
the spring semester), there was a
slight increase in the numbers at
Reimer, but now it's pretty much
evened out," said Lonnie Gilbert,
food service director.
He noted that the number of stu-
dents who dine at Chandler and
Reimer tends to dip in the spring.

CSA Board ponders future of Gemmell game room

Plans for the future of the financially-
troubled game room in the Gemmell

into ways the game room could begin to

The preliminary hearing for
John Brown, Student Senate vice
president, has been continued

Brown, 22, was scheduled for

He is facing charges of posses-
sion, unlawful delivery, and pos-

charged with possession of drug

The charges stem from inci-
dents in May where, police
allege, Brown sold cocaine to a

the building, but plans for an
enclosed walkway which would
have extended from the Rec
Center to the Gemmell Student
Complex have been scrapped.
"The reason for the dismissal is
because we did not want to take
anything away from the interior
building or give anything up that
was much more needed," said Hal
Wassink, director of student activ-
ities.
According to Dave Tomeo,
director of Gemmell Student
Complex, the first level of the Rec
Center will have three basketball
courts to accommodate other
activities such as soccer, volley-
ball, and possible gym hockey.
The first level will also house a
weight room and space for a juice
bar, as well as some office space
with a multi-purpose area.
The second floor of (he center
will house a four-lane banked
track that will be 16 meters wide
and approximately 200 meters
long. Also, a climbing wall will
begin on the first floor and con-
tinue to the second floor and par-
tially protrude through the ceiling
to allow climbers to look out
through a skylight in the roof.
The building was designed,
Tomeo said, to enable students to
use the facilities without interfer-
ing with intercollegiate athletics.
A second benefit of the new facil-
ity will be to provide the opportu-
nity for more students to partici-
pate in activities and to better
develop the intramurals program.
Intercollegiate athleticss will
not be allowed to use the new
center during their seasons, indi-
vidual student-athletes can choose
to use the facility outside of their
normal practice sessions.
Exceptions for athletes may be
made, but only on a contractual
basis.
Students will not only benefit
from the center's many features,
but also through future employ-
ment opportunities, Tomeo noted.
"I am really excited about the
progress and I'm anxious to see
the finished product sometime in
September," he said.

A message from
the retired CSA
Board Chair...
Tough decisions should be
included in the job descriptions
of Editor in Chief and student
leader. I have made several tough
decision in both roles, but proba-
bly none as difficult as deciding
that I needed to relinquish one of
these positions.
I have been chair of the CSA
Board for almost two years and
have been a voting member for
nearly three. During my term as
chair I have seen several things
accomplished by the Board: the
University Book Center had its
first formal evaluation - and per-
formed well; a process was
developed to evaluate the CSA
administration; the copier pro-
gram - providing copier service
for Gemmell, Still, and the resi-
dence halls; and most important-
ly to me - the by-laws of the
Board were restructured, new
committees were created and the
membership was redefined -
forming a wider base of knowl-
edge for the board.
I can not express my apprecia-
tion to Clarion University for
providing me with the opportuni-
ty to be a student leader. I have
learned more threw this experi-
ence than I have even realized.
One thing that I have realized is
that being a student leader
requires an enormous amount of
strength. JL accredit most of this
strength to my parents; I acquired
strength from watching their tri-
umphs. Thank you.
The remaining strength I gain
from my friends both at home
and here at Clarion. To those of
you at Clarion: Becca, Steve,
Vickie, Stacy, Kelly, Jeff, Mark,
and you who I didn't mention -
thank you. You encourage me.
Steve, you have helped me real-
ize and fine-tune these strengths.
And last but not least, I have
gained knowledge and savvy
from many of you: Dr. Reinhard,
Dr. Curtis, Dr. Haberaecker, Mr.
Wassink, Mike Cox, Delphine
Djossou, Stacy Henninger,
Nicole DeFrank, Leslie Suhr,
Tammi Snyder, John Brown, and
Shane Eck. I apologize for any-
one who went unmentioned, you
were definitely not unappreciat-
ed. Mr. Lee Krull, God bless
your patience. Business manager
is a tough job and I am glad mat
you are doing it.

1997-98 'Sequelle' to be ready
by May, staff tells Senate
by Steve Ostrosky
Chtftei OJi NtWi Editor
Members of the 1998-1999
'Sequelle' staff were forced to
answer some tough questions
about the status of their operation
at Monday night's Student Senate
meeting.
Editor in chief Suzanne
DeGrazia and photo editor Doug
Haskins were in attendance to
apprise Senate of the latest hap-
penings at Clarion University's
yearbook.
Senate vice president John
Brown inquired as to when the
1997-98 yearbook will be com-
pleted, because the original dead-
line for the book was April 1,
1998.
DeGrazia said that the 1997-98
yearbook should be finished by
Friday and should be here for CU
students by May.
Brown also wondered when the
1998-99 'Sequelle* will be avail-
able to students. DeGrazia
answered that their first deadline
for mis year's book isn't until
May 9, and she said that the entire
yearbook is scheduled to be com-
pleted by that date. Copies of the
1998-99 'Sequelle' should be
available sometime in late
October or early November, she
said.
Senate treasurer Leslie Suhr
commented that when the pub-
lisher was re-bid, Senate was
assured that they could see the
progress of the 'Sequelle'.
"There seems to be a communi-
cation problem," she said. "We'd
like to see where you're going
with it and you can ask us for sug-
gestions."
Clarion Students' Association
Business Manager Lee Krull
questioned how many seniors
who graduated in 1998 were able
to receive yearbooks in the mail.
DeGrazia said that they are not
sure as to who to send yearbooks.
"We're trying to amend the
problems of last year," she added.
Krull encouraged 'Sequelle'
staff members to send copies of
the yearbook to all May 1998
graduates. "Straighten it up
quickly," he said.
Other questions were raised
over the reasons for charging stu-
dents a fee for the yearbook, as
well as what steps were being
taken in order to improve the
quality of the two forthcoming
editions.
'Sequelle' staff responded that
a workshop is being set up
between a representative front the
publishing company and the staff
so that all can learn layout and
design for the yearbook.
Also, a new addressing system
has been implemented to keep
track of student names and
addressed.
Finally, when asked about pos-
sibly developing a better market-
ing campaign, DeGrazia respond-
ed that a 'Sequelle' Day is being
established for students to pick up
old yearbooks, answer questions
about the book, and 07 and hunt
for more interested staffers.
Carlson Library
extends Sat. hours
by Sandy Wadding
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Carlson Library patrons no
longer have to wait until 1 p.m. on
Saturdays to gain access to the
resources available there.
Beginning Saturday, Jan. 23, the
library opened its doors four
hours earlier to accommodate
requests made by members of
Student Senate and other CU stu-
dents. According to Interim Dean
of Libraries Deon Knickerbocker,
the new 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday
hours were made possible by a
revision of a staff member's
schedule.
She added that more changes
are forthcoming and details will
be revealed at a later date.
Knickerbocker also reminded
students and faculty who can't
make it to the library can still
access the University Libraries
homepage 24 hours a day by
going online to http://www.clan-
on.edu/library/.
The homepage offers many ser-
vices, including a library catalog,
journal access, reference
resources and a virtual informa-
tion desk.
The virtual information desk is
operated from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m.
Sunday through Thursday and
from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday.
Reaction to the scheduling
change has been mixed. "As a
commuter, Saturday morning is
better for my schedule," said
Bonnie Lieberum.
Student Senator Mike Mangieri
said, "It is an improvement,
although I feel it should be open
later — not earlier."
Currently, the Carlson Library is
open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Monday through Thursday, with
study hours from 9 p.m. to 12
a.m.
Friday, the library is open from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sunday
the doors of the library are open
from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Sunday study hours are held
from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Faculty art exhibit showcases professors'
multi-cultural accomplishments
by Laura McNally
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Students milled
around, faculty stared into
the depths of art, and others
talked shop. Last Wednesday
was the gallery opening at
Hazel Sandford Gallery. It
gave the faculty in the art
department a chance to show
off their finest work.
Refreshments were served,
and students of all types
showed up to pay respect to
their professors, or to simply
enjoy some good art.
One of the most eye
catching pieces was on the
back wall of the gallery. It's

painting".
This piece, entitled
"Hinterland", was completed
earlier this year. Sparkman
said that it was part of a long
series of separate pieces, so it
made it a bit hard to specify
when this actual piece was
completed. Chesca Maione, a
C.U. student, commented on
the fact that the display of
color and the similar shapes
made the work look like "it's
own universe".
Another faculty mem-
ber that displayed his art at the
gallery on Wednesday was
Gary Greenberg, often
referred to as "Greeny".
Greenberg is a sculptor, and
commonly works with several
types of clay as well as steel,
evident in his works. One par-
ticular piece, called "Pink
Skulls/Black and Blue Hearts"
took about 2 weeks to com-
plete. Greenberg said that he
was working at a workshop in
Watershed, Maine this past
summer. When asked what the

'Patch Adams'; Robin Williams
provides the cure for boredom
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Robin Williams has reached
a point where he wants to be
everything to everyone. I can
almost hear his agent now:
"Robin's not just wacky any-
more, he's also a serious actor!
His movies aren't just side-
splittingly funny, they're
bonafide tear-jerkers!"
Although William's past efforts
to blend comedy and tragedy
have yielded mixed results, his
aspirations to become
Hollywood's most successful
serious/comedic actor pays off
in his newest film, Patch
Adams.
Williams plays the title char-
acter, who decides to become a
doctor while in a mental hospi-
tal recovering from a suicide
attempt. Stung by the lack of
sensitivity shown to the
patients, many of whom are
simply looking for a friend to
help them through the rough
times, Patch becomes deter-
mined to gain his medical
degree and do things different-
ly. Although he is much older
and definitely more optimistic
than the majority of students he
encounters in medical school,
Patch touches the lives of
everyone he meets.
Patch's sternest opposition
comes from the dean of the
school, who makes numerous
attempts to have him removed
from the school and goes so far
as to criticize Patch for exhibit-
ing "excessive happiness." In
spite of the numerous personal
tragedies he undergoes
throught the course of the film,
Patch continues to chase his
dream of opening the
Geshundheit Institute, a free
hospital where the patients also
act as doctors, proving that
laughter is the very best medi-
cine.
Much like Williams' disap-
pointing comedy/drama Jack,
Patch Adams tries to simulta-
neously tickle moviegoers' fun-
nybones while touching their
hearts. This time, however, the
combination works. Director
Tom Shadyac knows exactly
the right times to tug at the
audience's heartstrings and
when to go for a big laugh.
Patch Adams has a heartfelt
message about doctors viewing
their patients, first as human
beings and second as patients.
The film's only flaw lies in the
fact that Shadyac didn't apply
that principle of humanity to
Patch, whose character comes
across as a pretentious and
fault-free snob. Williams, who
is on-screen for almost the
entire picture, is constantly so
sweet and likable that it's near-
ly sickening. Patch is the sort
of grade school goody-two-
shoes whom all the other kids
wanted to clobber with a brick.
Sure, the real-life Adams is an
inspirational individual, but
he's hardly a saint.
Patch Adams' greatest
strength lies in the fact that it's
an easy movie to relate to.
Anyone who's ever been left
sitting in a waiting room for 45
minutes before even catching a
glimpse of a doctor can sympa-
thize with Patch's laments
about the medical profession.
Besides, the film puts Robin
Williams back in the driver's
seat in his best vehicle since
Mrs. Doubtfire. If you're look-
ing for a feel-good movie to
cheer up the dreary winter
months Patch Adams has just
what the doctor ordered. (Now,
you really didn't expect me to
end this review without using
that cliche, did you?)
State of the art cafe downloads into Clarion
by Jeff Say
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
and
Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Assistant
Lifesyles Editor
Clarion recently added a
high-tech touch to the neigh-
borhood — the Cybernet Cafe,
which opened January 18. The
estalishment is located behind
the Clarion Post Office; just a
keyboard stroke away from the
University, and Clarion busi-
nesses.
So what exactly is a
Cybernet Cafe, and what do
you do there? You might
imagine a futuristic Starbucks
filled with Blade Runner
rejects and Obi-Wan Kenobi
deciples. Well, rhe Starbucks
part isn't too far off, but don't
expect to navigate through
crowds of Ewoks on campus
anytime soon.
Most so-called "internet
cafes" spend more time per-
fecting the hot apple pie, but
at the Cybernet Cafe, founded
by Barry, Evelyn, and Randy
Rossey focuses on the elec-
tronic aspect: providing the
latest technology to their cus-
tomers, and also the right
training and classes to help
them use it.
Training seems to be the
Cafe's forte. Says Lewis
Plauny, marketing director,
"We don't know of any train-
ing facility that has as high-
tech equipment as what we
have here at the Cafe." Within
the training room are 12 pen-
tium-2 computers on a NT net-
work. All of the computers
feature DVD digital drives.
Mainly, the Cybernet Cafe
hopes to train mostly busi-
nesses looking to upgrade
employees' computing skills,
and local school districts. The
training modules and gaming
stations were custom-designed
by Craig A. McCary's BMI
industries in East Freedom,
Pa. BMI has designed special-
ty furniture for sixteen years.
Some special features that
the Rosseys hope will draw
people to the establishment
are high-speed digital copy-
ing, scanning in both black
and white, full duplex video
conferencing to anywhere in
the world, and private rooms.
As if that wasn't enough,
they also have CD burners,
adobe photoshop, copy ser-
vices with fully digitized
copiers, resume services, word
processing, and much more.
It's enough to send Bill Gates
into fits of ecstasy.
But what if you aren't look-
ing to write that all-important
We don 't know of
any training facility
that has as high tech
equipment as what we
have here at the
cafe. 99

thesis paper, or trade stocks in
private conference rooms with
other countries? Well, the
Cybernet Cafe offers up fun
and games, too. The Cafe has
"networked game competi-
tion" with five driving and
five flying simulators. You
can race stock cars or monster
trucks against your friends, all
on the same computer race-
track, all at the same time.
Don't worry about getting
hungry from all that typing
and racing, though. This is a
cafe, too. Much like the elec-
tronic facet of the Cybernet
Cafe, the doctrine with food is
the same — quick and easy.
Some of the items on the menu
include hot dogs, donuts, pop,
and coffee.

Cybernet Cafe can be found by

Will Saddam take
this sitting down?
by Dave Barry
Syndicated columnist
Since nobody else has been
able to, I came up with a plan
for dealing with Saddam
Hussein.
As you know if you pay
attention to foreign affairs,
Saddam Hussein is the head
honcho of Iraq, which may or
may not be the same country
as Iran. We hate Saddam
because he's always going on
TV and smirking and saying
things about us. We're not
sure what he says, because he
deliberately speaks in a for-
eign language, but a classi-
fied Central Intelligence
Agency analysis recently
leaked to The New York
Times said, "We think one of
the words is 'wiener heads.'"
Every few months we, as a
nation, just get FED UP with
Saddam, and we fire a batch
of high-tech, extremely accu-
rate missiles - supplied by
concerned taxpayers for
roughly $1 million per mis-
sile - at strategic buildings in
Iraq. Then our leaders dis-
play aerial photographs show-
ing that we have destroyed
these buildings, vanquished
them, really kicked their
butts. This makes everybody
feel better for 25 minutes,
then we see Saddam on the
tube AGAIN, wearing his stu-
pid beret, rubbing us the
wrong way, until finally we
just can't STAND it any more
and we whack some MORE
Iraqi buildings.
Perhaps you're wondering:
"Why are we shooting build-
ings? Why don't we aim
these extremely accurate mis-
siles at Saddam? Or, better
yet, why not take care of the
problem by giving the million
dollars, in unmarked bills, to
an extremely accurate person
with a name like Vincent
'Vinny The Polyp' Sarcoma?"
The answer is that, under
federal law, we are not
allowed to kill a foreign
leader, even if he is really
ticking us off. We can kill
OTHER people who happen
to be in the foreign leader's
country, especially if they are
the actual foreign leader per-
sonally. This may not make a
ton of sense, but it's federal
law, and we must obey it, just
as we must obey other federal
laws that we do not under-
stand. (Speaking of which,
Kenneth Starr has obtained
evidence strongly indicating
that Bill Clinton and Monica
Lewinsky DID, on December
3, 1997, at approximately
4:42 p.m., remove the tag
from a mattress; you will hear
much more on this in the
months and years to come.)
So this is the problem: We
can't shoot Saddam, and it
doesn't seem to bother him
when we shoot his buildings.
Is there a solution? Yes. It is
a solution that requires us to
unleash a force that, frankly,
most of us would rather not
even think about — perhaps
the most feared, the most
deadly, the most evil force
that the human race was ever
foolish enough to create.
That's right: plumbing.
I conceived of this plan
after receiving a fascinating
document from alert mechani-
cal engineer Keith Ritter.
The document was written by
Julius Ballanco, president of
JB Engineering and Code
Consulting; it was published
in the October 1998 issue of
PM Engineering, and it is
entitled "Violently Fracturing
Water Closets," which I
assume I do not need to tell
you would be an excellent
name for a rock band.
"Violently Fracturing Water
Closets" begins with a chill-
ing story: An individual —
described in the Ballanco
article as "an individual" —
flushes a toilet in a high-rise
building and is "injured by
flying shards of vitreous
china."
Needless to say, this inci-
dent raised a question in Mr.
Ballanco's mind, namely:
Wouldn't "The Flying
Shards" also be an excellent
name for a rock band?
No, seriously, the question
it raised was: What caused the
water closet to fracture vio-
lently? This question led to a
series of experiments at (I am
not making any of this up) the
Stevens Institute of
Technology in Hoboken, N.J.,
in which different amounts of
pressurized air were intro-
duced into a plumbing sys-
tem. The result was several
pages of extremely scientific-
looking charts and graphs,
plus a really cool time-
sequence photograph of a toi-
let exploding.
Here is the question: We
cannot legally kill a foreign
leader, but does it state, any-
where in our body of federal
law, that we cannot cause a
foreign leader's commode to
fracture violently while he is
using it? To answer that
question, I called the United
States Supreme Court, but it
was Sunday during the NFL
playoffs and nobody
answered. I view that as a
ruling in my favor. If the
Supreme Court had wanted to,
it could easily have had a
recording system saying
something like, "We are not
in session today, but it is ille-
gal to blow up Saddam
Hussein's toilet."
So I say we get our top mil-
itary and plumbing scientists
together at the Stevens
Institute of Technology and
develop a high-tech comput-
erized "smart" air-pressure
delivery system targeting
Saddam — or, as he will come
to be scornfully called behind
his back, "Shard Butt."
THAT would wipe the smirk
off his face and cause him to
come running to the bargain-
ing table! We'd definitely
want him to clean up first.

Music Review
Everlast reinvents himself
with new album
Page 13
by James Gates
Clarion Call Staff Writer
There are two styles of music
that seem impossible to fuse
together; hip-hop and
folk/blues. They are polar
opposites and attract extremely
different fans. But there will
always be somebody attempting
the impossible and in this case,
it's Erik Shrody, AKA Everlast.
The former House Of Pain
frontman's second solo album,
Whitey Ford Sings the Blues is
one of the most creative and
original albums of 1999.
Whitey Ford... is nothing like
House Of Pain's beer-swilling,
slam-dancing sound. It is
sophisticated, insightful, and
emotional. Everlast describes
his latest release as "If Neil
Young or Willie Nelson was a
b-boy, attitude-wise."
Everlast wrote the album him-
self, which is reflective of his
past, through the use of vague
characters. His pre and post
House Of Pain days are
expressed over and over again,
which sound like he had a hard
life since birth.
Everlast was born with a heart
defect, and during the last day
of recording his new album, he
tore a muscle in his heart, and
he had to undergo a heart valve
replacement at the hospital.
This near-death experience
gave him a unique view of the
world and a higher spiritual
connectedness with his music.
His first single off of Whitey
Ford... is the hit "What It's
Like." The song combines
acoustic guitars, blues-type
riffs, heartfelt lyrics, with state-
of-the-art hip-hop beats.
Everlast begins to find some of
his real-life persona in "What
It's Like" and other songs, such
as "Death Comes Callin',"
Dollar Bill," and "Ends."
Everlast has carved himself a
clever niche in popular music,
that while may stray from con-
ventional standards and not
please everybody, he has found
something that most bands lack
— an identity.

This week:
What is your opinion on the NBA starting back up?
Joe Koziara--l could care less about the NBA starting back up.
Chis Angelucci-I think that it's going to take something dramatic,
like this summer's homerun race, to get their fans back.
Wendy Fyock-You mean they were on strike?
Damon Mclntire--The NBA will survive, but the excessive greed of
both the players' union and owners may do irrepairable damage to
its fan base. That, dompiled with the retirement of its marquees and
most marketable player-Michael Jordan-will hurt.
Pat O'Connell-l think its a crock that the pre-season is in February

and it is a great night for the
whole family," stated Clarion

Majority of college athletes gamble,
according to survey
by Nicholas J. Cotsonika
College Press Exchange
Gambling apparently is a
much larger problem among
college athletes than previous-
ly thought.
The vast majority of athletes-
especial ly men-say they have
gambled in some way while in
school, and a large precentage
say they bet on sports, accord-
ing to a survey released by the
Michigan athletic department.
Worse, on the heels of point-
shaving scandals at such
schools as Arizona State and
Northwestern, a considerable
number of male athletes admit-
ted they had acted in ways that
the study said "call into ques-
tion the integrity of their con-
tests."
It's very scary, "U-M

study with other administra-
tors. U-M mailed surveys to
3,000 NCAA Division I ath-
letes across the nation- 1,500
football players, 750 men's
basketball players, and 750
women's basketball players
received a 25.3 percent return.
Mike Cross and Ann Vollano,
assistant NCAA rules and
compliance directors at U-M,
compiled the information dur-
ing an 18- month period.
The highlights:
More than five percent of male
athletics said they had provid-
ed inside information to an
outside party for gambling pur-
poses, bet on a game in which
they had played, or accepted I
money for performing poorly
in a game.
"This is certainly problemat-
ic," Cross said.
About 72 percent of all ath-

issue, and people need to take
this more seriously."

Clarion grads enjoy arockin' career
by Jeff Say
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
BROOKVILLE - Tim Hall, Stevette
Wood, and Kevin Heinrich. Ihree
Clarion alumni, currently work at
105.5 Mega Rock.
Mega Rock is a classic rock radio
station in Brookville whose employ-
ees include disc jockeys from San
Diego and Boston. So one might ask,
how do three Clarion grads find a
home at Mega Rock? According to
Hall, half of Mega Rock's TNT morn-
ing show. Clarion's communication
department prepared him for the
experiences he has dealt with at Mega
Rock.
One of these experiences recently
landed him a nationwide audience as
his parody song about Groundhog
Day was broadcast by ABC radio net-
works.
The song which borrowed the tune
from the song "Going up the country"
by Canned Heat, was written by Hall
last year around Groundhog Day.
Hall, who played guitar and kazoo on
the song, can also add the title of pro-
ducer to his resume as he produced
the song himself.
Though Hall is an on-air personali-
ty and has gained nationwide notori-
ety, Wood and Heinrich also play a
large part of what happens at Mega
Rock.
Wood, the account executive, works
mostly in sales and promotions but
also has done some on-air work. She
said that Clarion helped prepare her to
be ready to work in all areas at Mega
Rock. "What CUP does most is it

Ridge gets
an F from
the State
System
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News ; Editor
HARRISBURG —
Governor Tom Ridge's
budget proposal for the
State System of Higher
Education would increase
funding by more than $10
million, but covers less
than half of the System's
request for the 1999-2000
academic year.
Ridge's proposed base
appropriation to the State
System would be $435.5
million, an increase of 2.5
percent.
Back in October, the
System Board of
Governors approved an
appropriation request of
almost $448.3 million, an
increase of $23.5 million or
5.5 percent. If the funding
from the state stays as cur-
rently proposed by Ridge,
the System would face
nearly a $13 million short-
fall.
According to State
System press secretary
Kenn Marshall, the propos-
al from the governor is a
"starting point" and the
System will be working
with the Legislature and the
Ridge administration over
the next several months to
try and get the appropria-
tion increased.
"In most years, the appro-
priation has increased a lit-

' is not
growing old gracefully
As far as we are concerned, this is not a war between
the Call and the 'Sequelle'. We are the voice for the
rest of the student body. The editorial that was written in
last week's Call set the situation out of perspective.
We weren't ripping apart the 'Sequelle'. But, we have
our facts. As paying students, we want to know where
OUR yearbook is. Almost $30,000 of the Student
Activity Fee goes to the 'Sequelle,' while only a little
over $15,000 is alotted to the Call. We are returning to
the students a product for their dollars, a product that can
be counted on every Thursday of the semester. It would
be great if students could count on the 'Sequelle' the
same way.
We were using our voice as suggestions for the future
and hoped that the editors of the 'Sequelle' would accept
constructive criticism as we accept ours.
Sure, the 'Sequelle' may be 90 years old and is one of
the oldest yearbooks in the nation. But, it isn't in the
same quality as Harvard or Oberlin either. We of all peo-
ple, know that we can't look at the pages we never wrote,
just as you can't change the pages you never designed.
But, learn from your past mistakes and triumphs and
work towards the future.
The Call is on the web and is upgrading to hold pace
with the rest of the world. We are preserving our history
as well as making technological an advancements for the
future. We believe that the CSA and the student body
would fully support advancement of updated technology
such as videotape or CD ROM as their yearbook. And,
you say it would get out dated. No, it would just need
simple upgrading.
Finally, you seem to blame the Call for presenting an
issue. Well, we are the voice of the students who are
paying for the yearbook, and they have a right to know
where it is. A deadline a year late is a bit unreasonable.
Students know that every Thursday they can pick up an
issue of the Call, but do they know when they are final-
ly going to get last year's yearbook? The answer is no.

cle on "Student Senate," I'd like to refresh you mem-
ories or inform you of what was written. This article
was a summary of last week's Student Senate meet-
ing and reported this...
"During her report, Suhr also attempted to have
the budgeting packets for the 1999-2000 academic
year approved by Senate, but Senator Shannon
bean left the meeting early, causing a lack of quo-
rum. Bean's early exit forced Senate to wait until
the next meeting in order for the packets to be
approved. The lack of quorum also stopped nomi-
nations for Student Senators dead in their tracks.
Plans were made for Senate to nominate students
for the position vacated by Bonny Spence last week.
However, those nominations will have to be held
next week. "
This article really burned me up. The editor who
wrote this article failed to mention the fact that I let
the meeting was early to go and dance for halftime of
the Men's Basketball Game. Last I knew, there was
only one halftime break and the CUP Dance Team
only performs once a game AND being a senior, my
performances are becoming few and far between.
Not only did I attend the meeting (unlike some other
Senators), but I stayed until 8:30 when half time is
usually between 8:35 and 8:40. Maybe quorum
would have been met if nominations had been held
before to fill the vacant spot which obviously des-
perately need to be filled. For those of you who do
not understand the Parliamentary Procedures of
Senate, you need 16 members present to vote on
allocations and other important issues. There were
17 members present, but the President is only a vot-
ing member under certain circumstances. The entire
quorum issue that arose after I left the meeting just
proves how unsure the Senate can be during impor-
tant situations. A fellow Senator said to me, "You
would have been better off NOT coming to the meet-
ing at all, and the blame could have then been placed
in many areas as it should have been." Therefore, I
think that blaming only me for the items that could
not be accomplished was a bit harsh since there was
obviously more than one person at fault here.
There is a hypocritical attitude that some Senators
hold. I informed Vice President John Brown that I
NEEDED to leave the meeting, and many of the
Senators knew that I had to dance. Anyone could
have said "don't go" or "we'll take a short recess
until you can return" or even "let's try and call one of
the missing Senators to see if they can come in."
None of these options were chosen. So for people to
complain when there could have been a different out-
come is ridiculous. I waited, voted, and left.. .and for
doing so many Senators chose to complain. Well,
they are always preaching about "getting involved in
your university" and "joining organizations' and
"getting out there to be seen by all of the students and
getting their opinions" .... I AM very involved in the

"This plan is inexpensive
and simple enough for
even the so-called
'romantically
challenged"
r y ^^ r i
Patricia Boberg
"Planning an Evening for Two,
That Won't Put a Dent in Your
Pocket"
It happens one time or another
in each of our lives. You find
yourself in the position of putting
together that romantic evening
where leaving a good impression
is a must. That's right, it's
Valentines Day again! What now,
do you panic or start planning?
the answer is definitely start plan-
ning, and this is your personal
guide on how to do just that!
This will provide you with
everything you need from prepa-
rations, a meal suggestion, and
even helpful tips on what to do
with the time that seems to last so
dreadfully long. Remember, the
key factor is to create an evening
the two of you will never forget.
Everyone could use some help
in the romance department. This
plan is inexpensive and simple
enough for even the so-called
"romantically challenge." Start to
finish planning readily at your
fingertips. What else could you
need?
Being that we are all college stu-
dents here, I know that nobody
has very much money. Well, that
is okay. All you need to do is save
a little beforehand, somewhere
around twenty dollars will be just
fine. It all depends on how fancy
you want to get. Once you have
acquired the money, you're set to
go!
First, you are going to have to
clean up that wreck you call an
apartment: the one that looks like
an oversized laundry basket; A
floor that seems to reach out and
grab your feet so your unable to
move; dishes piled up in the sink
with what appears to be the
unknown cure for a disease grow-
ing (yuck!) are just a few college
apartment nightmares that are not
considered very attractive to the
opposite sex.
You must establish an appropri-
ate seeting for the evening. A
clean apartment can do this for
you and the question should then
be, what will be served for din-
ner? There are three ways to go.
You and your date could walk into
town and stop by McDonald's:
not too impressionable on your
part, but it will certainly get the
job done. You could order out
from China Town minutes before
your date arrives. Throw it onto a
plate, making it look as if you
actually put some time into the
evening by arranging it nicely on
the plate. Or lastly, you could put
some thought into the night and
prepare an original meal yourself.
The first two are not recom-
mended if you are looking for-
ward to a second date with this
person. Putting time and some
effort into you plans will definite-
ly pay off. Preparing you own
meal can be more romantic and
appealing to your guest. This will
allow you and your date more
one-on-one time. Here you can
really take the chance to get to
know one another. Restaurants
and movie theaters make it diffi-
cult to do this, and it most often
creates more tension between the
two fo you.
Once you have chosen the meal
to be served there are additional,
optional, accessories that can be
added. This will add to the cost of
the meal, but not by much.
Accessories enhance a meal,
while providing that special touch
you are looking for a the same
time. So they are well worth die
extra couple of dollars. A meal at
this price can not be beat, except
maybe that McDonald's men-
tioned earlier.
Such items can be as simple as
a bottle of champagne, along with
a nice pair of wine glasses. (If
you are of age of course) A small
bouquet of flowers would espe-
cially be nice in the center of the
table, they can then be given to
your date as a gift when the night

"... I am going to
spend the day
pampering myself
and loving it!!!"
Danielle, Advertising Sales Manager
So once again it is the time for
sweethearts to profess their love
for each other with gifts of candy,
flowers, dinner, romance etc....
So what do people like me with-
out a significant other do on this
couple oriented day? Well I have
decided not to get depressed and
eat myself into an oblivion.
Instead I am going to spend the
day pampering myself and loving
it!!! For all those who are single,
like me and want some ideas to
keep your mind off of your room-
mate and his/her significant other
gawking at each other over a can-
dle lit dinner here goes:
1. Make yourself a tape that
contains no songs that have any-
thing to do with love, romance, or
relationships.
2. Find a few friends who are
also single, put all of your Uncle
Sam food stamps together and
make a huge dinner!
3. Spend the night with a few
friends at the Loomis.
4. Have a pamper yourself party.
Invite Other single girls and do
facials, paint your nails, have gos-
sip sessions, etc.
5. Buy some tarrot cards, invite
people over and learn how to read
each other's cards.
6. Dress up really crazy, get out
that fun tape from suggestion
number one, and dance your little
heart away!
7. Drive to Pittsburgh and hit
the bars and clubs in the Strip,
South Side, and of course Jetz
80's Saturday night!!
8. Remember that guy/gal who
broke your heart? Make a hit list
of all the things you would love to
do to him/her. Then send it to
him/her.... make them sweat!!!
9. Instead of renting your
favorite movies, making pizza,
popcorn, etc. Then eating your-
self until you are six sizes larger
than you started out, create your
own board game using your

U.S. should take a second look before attacking
Dear Editor:
There is a glaring, but almost
totally unmentioned, double
standard in the way the United
States conducts bombing cam-
paigns.
Iraq invades Kuwait and is sub-
sequently bombed by the United
States. Indonesia invades East
Timor and not only is not
bombed by the U.S., but is sup-
plied with weapons. Turkey
attacks Kurdish villages, and
instead of condemnation, eco-
nomic sanctions or bombing,
Turkey receives helicopter gun-
ships and F-16s from the United
States and permission to invade
northern Iraq in pursuit of Kurds.
Apartheid South Africa invades
Angola, and the U.S. govern-
ment does nothing. Only Cuba
comes to the aid of the Angolan
government. Israel invades
Lebanon, and there is little
protest from the U.S. govern-
ment. Incidentally, both Israel
and South Africa have weapons
of mass destruction.
Is this double standard due to
exploitation and control of for-
eign investors are deemed not
bombable. Socialist countries
like Cuba which have national-
ized governments which act
independently, erect tariffs, fail
In this global capitalist system, those Third
World countries which don t act as good little
puppets are likely to be bombed,,have ecomomic
sanctions imposed on them, or receive an
unfriendly visit by the CIA! 99

oversights, mistakes, stupidity,
or are people with so much
wealth and power simply sleep-
walkers? I think there is a very
logical explanation. Third World
countries which open up their
land, labor, and resources for the
to comply with IMF austerity
measures, etc. are also bom-
bable. Nations which promote a
more egalitarian distribution of
wealth are bombable. Countries
like Iraq sitting on immense oil
reserves had better follow orders.
In this global capitalist system,
those Third World countires
which don't act as good little
puppets are likely to be bombed,
have economic sancitons
imposed on them, or receive an
unfriendly visit by the CIA!

P.S. It is a useful exercise in
noticing the propaganda role of
the U.S. media to imagine the
degree of coverage and depth of
outrage that would occur if Cuba
or some other socialist country
were strafing and bombing part
of its population, as Turkey is
doing to the Kurds. It would
probably surpass the O.J.

university, I AM a part of many
organizations, and I AM accessi-
ble to a huge number of students
at Clarion University. Now do
you think that students are going
to want to join Student senate if
k they are harassed for leaving a
meeting early to go and be visible
to about 1 ,000 more students than
in that room? Probably not. It's
called compromise. And if peo-
ple can't accept that than maybe
they should stop preaching the
gospel of joining so many organi-
zations and start telling them to
just pick ONE. Treasurer Sufar
just wrote in her first editorial last
week, "Clarion has many oppor-
tunities for you to get involved-
don' t miss out on the chance
before you graduate." I agree
with what she wrote completely,
but all I ask is for a little under-
standing and to not be chastised
for trying to please two organiza-
tions at the same time. I'm a team
member, and I think that many of
the Senators, editors, and even
you students need to ask them-
selves... ARE YOU? Which
brings me to my conclusion. I
don't think that I was treated as a
team member at last week's meet-
ing and because of this I have
decided to end my term early. I
have served as a Senator since
1997 and I wish I could have
ended my term differently, but I
refuse to be slandered and unfor-
tunately... I resign.

is over. Candles should be a must
if you are planning on a romantic
setting. Tall glowing candles are
definitely the ingredient for
romance. All of these items can
be purchase at low cost, just shop
around to find your best deal.
Now comes the difficult part of
the evening. Dinner is complete,
and you have jsut finished eating,
so now what? Immediately after,
your best bet is to relax at the
table, you could serve a nice
desert, and it does not have to be
homemade. Something form
your grocery stores bakery or
frozen section is appropriate.
Make conversation to ease the
tension, talk about the meal or
what your date would like to do
next.
If no suggestions arise, you
could resort to the old "let's
watch a movie". But, this does
not allow much conversation. Be
original by trying to find
soemthing that you both enjoy
doing. It may sound silly, but
how about playing cards or a
board game. Try to make the set-
ting as comfortable for your date
as possible.
Once the evening has ended it
is always a nice gesture to walk
you date to the door, car, or even
escort them home. A good night
kiss is occasionally appropriate,
only if your date approves of
cours. But, DON'T PUSH IT!
Now you have access to every-
thing you need for planning an
evening for two. Everything you
need for planning an evening for
two. Everything has been pro-
vided at low cost, while adding
the special touch you were look-
ing for. Whether this has been
your first date with this person, or
your hundredth, these simple
steps will impress your date
every time.
Keep in mind you want to make
your date feel important. Make
him/her feel as if all the time and
effort put into the evening was
for them. Make your date feel
special, and show some interest
in both their likes an dislikes.
Once this is accomplished, you
can be sure the evening was a
success.
Follow these simple steps and
without a doubt, the two of you
will share many memorable
evenings together in the future.

Senate budget guidelines undergo minor changes
by Patricia Boberg
Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor
Student Senate reviewed and
revised the guidelines for the
1999-2000 athletic and organiza-
tional budgets during their meet-
ing Monday night.
Budgeting workshops were
recently conducted to help stu-
dents understand the changes, and
answer questions they have con-
cerning the budgeting process.
Senate reminded organizations
Monday night of the requirements
that have to be met in order to be
recognized by the University; and
this means to get funding.
Budgeting packets were distrib-
uted stating guidelines, dates, and
a list of allocations an organiza-
tion is required to meet.
The packet also specified the
items the Clarion Students'
Association (CSA) will not fund,
or what an organization can and
cannot do. Budgeting packets are
due by Feb. 24 to be reviewed by
Senate.
On March 22, budgeting pack-
ets will be returned to the organi-
zations with recommendations in
regards to how much money they
will receive. It is then up to the
organization to decide if the stat-
ed amount is adequate.
If not, an organization can
request a budget hearing must be
scheduled. Leslie Suhr, Senate
treasurer and appropriations
chair, said, "When determining
organizational budgets, their long
term expenses are also consid-
ered."
The final decision will be
announced on April 19. Once
organizational funding is estab-
lished, Senate will then approve a
whole budget for anything needed
in the next year.
Topics discussed at the meeting
included the athletic contract that
is up and will need to be re-nego-
tiated at the end of this year. Bob
Carlson, Athletic director, and
Senate will soon need to reevalu-
ate the budgeting outline for ath-
letic events; The 'Sequelle' is
going to have to rebid its contract
again; and The Clarion Call's
contract is also up this year.
Each year an initial budget is
submitted to Student Senate.
The new budget now states that
an organization can not budget for
a national conference, conven-
tion, or competition. An organi-
zation will have to come back the
following year to receive funding
for such events.
"This was done to keep better
tabs on where Senates money is
actually going," Suhr said.
"These new rules and regulations
were set up to benefit Clarion stu-
dents." Organizations can now
ask for more money if, for
instance, they acquire more mem-
bers each year.
The Student Senate budget is
funded through student activity
fee money, book store revenue,
and other such allocations. This
money has to work with the bud-
get to fund almost eighty organi-
zations and the athletics depart-
ment.
Four individual accounts con-
struct Senate's budget in entirety.

Busy book rush for UBC this semester
by Sandy Wadding
Clarion Call Staff Writer
It may be a bit premature, but
according to Ed Biertempfel,
University Book Center manager,
Spring book rush was very suc-
cessful.
"Because numbers can be off
from week to week, I prefer to
give it three to four weeks before I
make any determinations," he
said. "We started off slow
because of the weather, but pre-
liminaries appear to be right in
order with last year."
"I'll know more in about a week.
It looks like everything's on
track," Biertempfel added.
Sales were made more efficient
by students taking advantage of
the pre-order option. The pre-
order option is a process that
involves a student filling out a
form, attaching it to a copy of
their semester schedule, and sub-
mitting it to the Book Center.
George Groff/The Clarion Call
More than 700 students took advantage of the University
Book Center's pre-ordering program. Early results show
that spring book rush was successful for the UBC.

The Book Center hired more stu-
dents to operate the registers and
regular emplyees worked over-
time to accommodate the heavy
flow of traffic during book rush.
In the textbook area there were
five cash registers working to
close the deal betwen student and
store.
When asked if the book store
experienced any delays, shortages
or problems, Biertempfel said,
"You always see problems when
new faculty are hired late. It
seems like within all departments
new faculty are hired just a week
or less before classes start, there-
fore those books are late."
He added, "In the past, ten years
or more, there used to be a lot of
out-of-stocks, because publishers
were hedging against not having a
lot of stock on hand. We're not
seeing as much of that these days
because we're able to get more

funds long term plans that last
over five years and cost $5,000.
The capital account covers equip-
ment, such as computers, that will
not need replaced within five
years after purchased.
A supplemental reserve account
serves for emergencies and unex-
pected expenses. The supplemen-
tal account is then left for any
additional costs that an organiza-
tion may not have anticipated, or
their funds have run out. All
accounts need to be equally bal-
anced.
Student Senate approved these
new rules to meet University stan-
dards, and to keep up with the
changing cost of living, Suhr said.
She added that Senate is also try-
ing to give benefits back to the
students of Clarion University by
reducing costs.

Faculty Senate
Academic probations pondered by Reinhard
by Angela Everly
Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor
President Reinhard reexamined
the potential problem of freshmen
on academic probation at
Monday's meeting of Facutly
Senate at Venango Campus in Oil
City.
The problem of freshmen on
academic probation was raised at
the last Faculty Senate meeting.
She distributed a package consist-
ing of a personal letter she had
written to freshmen students on
academic probation, a letter to the
student's advisor, and the letter
the Provost sends to these students
on probation.
In the letter to the advisors, the
President encourages them to tell
students of the opportunities pro-
vided to them by the University.
She also encourages the advisors
to remind students to meet with
them.
The Presient offers three sug-
gestions to students placed on aca-
demic probation. She advises
them to meet with their academic
advisor and speak with instruc-
tors, to consider the Counseling
Center (located in 148 Egbert
Hall), and to visit the Academic
Support Center (located on the
second floor in Davis Hall).
Faculty Senate members also
got to see the standard academic
probation letter which Dr. John
Kuhn, Provost and Academic Vice
President, sends out informing
students that they are being placed
on academic probation.
Members of the Senate and
APSCUF leadership are invited to
a meeting of conversation given
by people from the Knight
Collaborative from 2:30 to 4:30
p.m. on Feb. 26 in the Enid
Dennis meeting room in Hart
Chapel.
In June, a team of three admin-
istrators and three faculty will be
invited to participate in a special
week long seesion at the Wharton
School of Business at the
University of Pennsylvania.
Senate learned that a Link to
Learn Grant was recently awarded
to Dr. Vickie Harry, associate
dean of the College of Education
and Human Services, and Dr.
Elaine Carbone of the
Mathematics Department. The
women were just notified of the
grant and will be in cooperation
with area school districts to ensure
the skill and knowledge of teach-
ers in the area of technology.
The Dean of Venango Campus,
Dr. Art Acton, reported on the
enrollment status of full time and
part time students at die Venango
campus. Acton stated that full
time student enrollment has gone
up and part time student enroll-
ment has gone down since 1989.
He also said that he did not know
how much longer the Clearfield
site would last.
Latrobe Barnitz, the admissions
director at Venango Campus, dis-
cussed the rise in transfer students
over the last spring and fall
semesters. He hypothesizes that
more students are brought to
Venango Campus because of the
information Clarion offers on
their application forms.
Barnitz also stated thai many of
Venango Campus students may
start at their campus but will end
up graduating from Clarion.
Acton reported the admissions
and financial aid offices have cre-
ated a new brochure. This effort
hopes to increase the number of
young students within and without
the service area of Venango.
Two open house sessions are
being offered by Venango
Campus to welcome students to
come and tour the site. A new
program called the Health career
Open House will be run at the end
of March to invite prospective stu-
dents to see their new
Occupational Therapy Assistant
program along with an array of
other programs that they offer.
Also, an agreement with Clarion
University may welcome Venango
Campus students to occupy a
dorm room in Givan Hall and
commute to Venango campus.
In other business, Dr. Karen
Bolinger, chair of the Budget
Committee reported a budget
meeting was held on Tuesday,
Feb. 2 at 11a.m. in the
Mathematics Department
Conference Room.
Committee on Courses and
Programs of Study (CCPS) chair,
Dr. Elizabeth MacDanieL report-
ed on the termination of the
German Bachelor of Arts degree
this fall.
The German program has been
in moratoruim for three years.
Another program that is finishing
and will not accept any new
majors is the BM in Music
Performance. That program will
also be in moratorium effective in
the fall of 1999.
Dr. Doug Smith, chair of
Student Affairs Committee, said
he will be looking at the two
breaks offered to students during
the Spring semester and reviewing
the guidelines. He said he will be
considering combining both

appropriation request for 1999-2000, from Page 1.
tie.. .The final budget never looks
like what is proposed," Marshall
said.
He noted that if Ridge's propos-
al matched the System's, the
appropriation still would not fully
fund the System's budget for the
year, meaning a tuition increase
next year is likely.
"If funding isn't increased, it's
even more likely that the tuition
will increase," Marshall said. An
increase in tuition will be contin-
gent on several factors, he noted,
which include the results of nego-
tiations with various unions that
represent State System employ-
ees.
"These negotiations have a
major impact on our budget,"
Marshall said.
If the funding does not increase
in line with the appropriation,
budgetary cuts similar to what
took place last year will be neces-
sary. "Last year, we had to come
up with about $8 million out of a
$900 million budget," Marshall
said. "The 14 schools had to col-
lectively come up with S8 million
in . spending reductions because
the appropriation was less than
anticipated."
Some of the ways in which
System schools trimmed their
budgets were by not filling vari-
ous faculty or staff positions,
deferring maintenance projects, or
cutting sections of courses in
which there was already a large
number.
"There were no instances where
programs were cut, just sections
cut from courses," Marshall said.
The State System's overall bud-
get for the 1999-2000 year totals
$926.5 million. About half of that
figure comes from the state, with
the remaining amount coming
from tuition and required fees.
The 1999-2000 total represents a
4.2 percent increase from this
year.
The Pennsylvania budget must
be passed by June 30, 1999 in
order for the fiscal year to begin
July 1. Decisions about tuition
will not be known until the budget
is formally passed, which
Marshall expects to occur some-
time in May.
"We have a budget surplus, so
there shouldn't be as much talk
about cuts and increases," he said.
"I'm hearing it should be passed
somewhere in mid- or late May... it
will be early, but not as early as
last year."
The Board of Governors will
decide tuition figures at their July
meeting, Marshall said.
Over the upcoming weeks and
months, much effort will be
placed by System officials to con-
vince the government to increase
their appropriation.
"I'm hopeful that we'll be able
to convince the Legislature and
the Governor that we can justify
our proposal," Marshall said.
"We'd like to see the $13 million,
but it's hard to predict where it
(the appropriation) will go... I
think it will increase somewhat."
Budget hearings have been
scheduled for members of the
State System with the Senate and
House Appropriations
Committees for Feb. 22 and 23 in
Harrisburg.
The System's proposed operat-
ing budget includes increases in
costs associated with personnel,
new facilities coming on-line,
instructional and administrative
equipment needs, deferred main-
tenance and debt service for the

ence in efficiency."
The first change students will notice comes before they even enter the
building. When students call to make an appointment, they'll be greet-
ed by an automated phone system. All appointments will be done via
computer.
When students show up for their appointment, they'll find a more mod-
ern and open waiting area. A handicapped-accessible bathroom was also
installed.
" It's much more organized," said Jen Ennis, senior music education
major. "It uses their space effectively."
"All the exam rooms have curtains now for more privacy," said Darlene
Hartle, Nurse-Health Education.
Operational enhancement to the center was the hiring of a nurse prac-
titioner.
New classrooms, offices and a conference room have been added to the
CSD part of the building. Currently the department is split between
Davis and Keeling.
The two halves of the department haven't been located in the same
building for at least ten years. Originally, the speech and hearing clinic
was supposed to be in Davis, but it was placed in Keeling when the ren-
ovation of Davis took five years.
"I think the renovation provides more effective and efficient use of
space in Health Services and hopefully it will be beneficial to CSD to be
consolidated," said Dr. Heather Habefaecker, vice president for finance
and administration.

Plagiarism increasing on college campuses
by Roberto Sanchez
Knieht-Ridder Newspapers
SEATTLE (CPX) — The college
term paper about Bill Gates
seemed too smooth, too refined
for an undergraduate. There was
also that little detail about Gates'
age being off by two years, which
hinted of stateness.
So George Dyson, who teaches
history of technology at Western
Washington University, put the
student paper to the test. He took
one phrase that seemed particu-
larly distinct —"his brilliance
and remorseless desire to suc-
ceed" — and entered it in an
Internet search engine.
He found a two-year-old paper
from the Web site of a computer-
science class at the University of
Michigan.
"The wording hadn't even been
changed," Dyson said. "It really
was no mystery to solve."
The practice of plagiarism may
not have changed much from the
days when frat houses kept bins
of old papers for members to
"recycle," but the tools students
use to cheat have changed - and
so have the tools teachers use to
catch them.
Computers let students quickly
copy and combine material from

Cheating may be easier because
of the computer, but so is getting
caught.
For starters, most library cata-
logs are electronic and many
materials are online, so faculty
members don't have to spend
hours looking through paper
indexes for documents that may
have been lifted without attribu-
tion.
Kevin Laverty, an assistant pro-
fessor of business at UW-Bothell,
routinely goes to the Web and to
indexes like Lexis-Nexis to look
for the sources of suspicious
papers.
Much of the plagiarized text, he
said, is written in journalistic
style because it comes from peri-
odicals. This makes it that much
easier to spot.
"If I can find the article in 15
minutes. ..that's how much effort
they are putting into it," Laverty
said.
Faculty members share tips on
how to spot plagiarism through
seminars, E-mail, discussion lists
and library Web sites. Some even
post lists of places that distribute
free papers on the Web, to help
colleagues check suspect papers.
Smelling a profit, software
companies and faculty members
have written programs to spot
plagiarism. Glatt Plagiarism
Services, a company based in
Chicago, sells a program that
takes out strategic words in
essays, then tests writers by ask-
ing them to fill the blanks.
Students who plagiarized will get
a low score on the test, according
to Barbara Glatt, owner of the
company.
Some Internet sites even use
electronic coding to mark their
documents and pictures.
"You may vary the spacing
between words (in a document)
just by tiny amounts. You can
encode a one or a zero," said
Hector Garcia-Molina, a profes-
sor of computer science at
Stanford University. "A human
cannot see it."
But faculty members with expe-
rience say all it takes to spot a
fake paper is attention and a little
common sense.
Robert Harris, an English pro-
fessor at Southern California
College in Costa Mesa, often
looks for language or skills on a
paper that don't match the perfor-
mance of a student in class. If he
suspects plagiarism, he often will
ask the student to read segments
aloud.
Few students use words they
can't pronounce, he said, so if
they stumble, it's a sign to check
the paper further.

need as many new books."
"The biggest problem if there is
one, are 'package deals', where a
publisher will package a couple
of books or a study guide, or a
workbook together and they
shrink wrap it for us,"
Biertempfel said.
"We notice those are out-of
stocks more often than anything
else because, depending on how
many schools adopt the packages,
they have to put them together as
they get the orders.
"We dislike pre-packaged deals
because it makes it harder for us
to buy the books back from stu-
dents," he added. "Sometimes
it's a workbook we can't buy
back because it's written in or has
pages torn out. If the professor
insists on having the package
deal, we can't buy back the whole
package. Some things can't be
bought back."
The University Book Center is
a non-profit company. They are a
part of the Clarion Student
Association. The book store is
audited every year to make sure
their prices are within line set-up
by student government. Many
students work under the miscon-
ception that the Book Center just
puts any price on an item.
All the pricing policies from
textbooks to clothing to every-
thing in the store are set. The
book center follows those guide-
lines, Biertempfel said.
Students have reacted to the sit-
uation at the book center. "I'm in
a program where I get all new
books. They're a bit expensive,
but if you want quality you've got
to pay," said student Pat
Colleluori about book rush.
"I don't like books with the
answers already written all over
the pages. I don't have a problem
with highlighting or marginal
notes, but I want to do my own
work when it comes to the prob-
lems. I can't compare prices. It's
disgusting to purchase a required
book that we haven't even opened
yet," Wendy Walters stated.
"I thought it went well. I went
on the third day. I was surprised
to see that books at the bookstore
in town were a bit higher in
price," said Mitchell Augustine.
"I went Sunday night before the
semester began, and I found that
things went smoothly. I later had
to return a book and had to wait a
little bit-no big deal," Amy
Oravec said.
"From what I heard, it went
well. With students, the issue is
still pricing," said Leslie Suhr,
Senate Appropriations chair.
"They're a little expensive for
the quality you get. They've been
used so many times they should
lower the face value of the used
price," said Margo Sciandra.
Text books can be returned for
any reason within the first 10 cal-
endar days of session. You must
have your register receipt.
Textbooks can be returned with
a withdrawal slip and register
receipt until the fifth Friday of the
session. No book can be returned
after Friday, Feb. 19.

Bloomsburg U. dean cautions
students about joining Greeks
BLOOMSBURG — In a pamphlet sent out by College of Arts and
Sciences Dean Dr. Hsien-Tung Liu to freshmen as part of their ori-
entation materials, Liu warned freshmen to "avoid bad company"
and to choose responsible social organizations.
Liu cited several dozen clubs and honor societies in the college as
possible outlets for students, as well as sports teams. However, he
cautioned students about joining Greek organizations.
"Please do not confuse them (the clubs and honor societies) with
fraternities and sororities, which are social in nature, whose mis-
ueeds and tragedies are often high-lighted by the media," he wrote.
Liu declined to clarify his statements in the pamphlet during the
interview, saying the facts, "speak for themselves."
He cited the results of a ten-year study to back up his statements.
"These things go on and on (misdeeds and tragedies)... They are a
matter of fact," Liu, said in a later interview, also referring to "drink-
ing problems" among Greek organizations.
"I'm so sad that he would say that," said Greek Affairs Coordinator
Gretchen Osterman.
According to Liu's pamphlet. Greek students suffer academically
from their affiliations.

Second Shippensburg student
diagnosed with meningitis
A Shippensburg University student is in serious condition in
Hershey Medical Center after being diagnosed with meningitis
Sunday, Jan. 3 1 while she was away from campus over the weekend.
She is the second university student this year to contract the dis-
ease. The first case occurred in early December.
Meningitis is a condition in which there is an inflammation of the
lining around the brain and spinal cord Approximately 10 percent
of the population carry meningococcal bacteria in the nose and
throat in a harmless state.
There is no way of knowing whether his patient is part of that pop-
ulation or whether she contracted it from another person, according
to Director of University Relations Peter Gigliotti. "That's always
the difficult part when you try to uace (the disease) back," he said.
University officials have made or are making contact with indi-
viduals whom she may have come in contact, including those in her
residence hall and organizations she is a member of.
Early symptoms include fever, severe sudden headache accompa-
nied by mental changes (i.e. malaise, lethargy) and neck stiffness. A
rash may begin as a flat, red eruption, mainly on the arms and legs.
It may evolve into a small rash of dots that do not change with pres-
sure.
Meningococcal bacteria cannot usually live for more than a few
minutes outside the body; contact is necessary during the 10 days
preceeding a diagnosis for possible transmission of the disease.

Many of the Venango students are adult students, first generation students, and are unprepared students,

New talent has a voice
Cruise "The Open Road" of creative expression
by Jess Hanson
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Open Road that was held last
Saturday night at Michele's Cafe
was like none that had ever been
witnessed before. The contrast to
past Open Roads was really amaz-
ing. This was mostly due to both
the turnout and the crowd that
accompanied it. To put it bluntly,
there were tons of people, and half
of them weren't regulars. Not that
this is a bad thing, it's actually very
exciting, but I guess I'm what you
would call a regular at this partic-
ular function. Anyone else who
regularly attends the Open Road
would know, it's usually the same
basic group of people every time.
Tonight seemed different, right
from the beginning.
Within ten minutes before the
show, it was impossible to score a
seat, even on the floor. The entire
middle section of the building was
crammed with people standing up.
It was packed and the sign up sheet
just continued to grow with names
of individuals who were ready to
show us their talents.
Mark Strieker stood in awe, look-
ing back at the sea of faces. "I'm
not good at this," he commented to
me some moments later. All I
could do was laugh and motion to
the enormous herd of people who
had just walked in. Mark is the
man behind the whole deal, so to
say. Ke has kept die Open Road
going strong for the last two years.
He claims to have "inherited the
reigns" from the original organiz-
ers, and only by a stroke of good
luck. He just showed up at one of
the original Open Roads that were
started in 1996 by a group of 3
other Clarion University students;
Heather Shearer, Joe Schaaf, Chris
Ferry, and Joe Bodziock, a profes-
sor here at Clarion. Apparently,
Strieker looked young enough to
the group to have a few years left at
Clarion. He has definitely proven
to be the right man for the job.
The first Open Road Strieker
attended only included a few per-
formers and about twenty people.
The original four thought that an
open mic session that was off-cam-
pus would be the perfect opportu-
nity to bring together the commu-
nity and college. This would make
it more versatile and bring both
parts of the community together in
order to share their talents. These
originators had a good idea, and
Strieker only made it better with
fliers and friends. These two
things have helped increase atten-
dance more and more each time.
So, Strieker didn't let them down,
he actually made it better.
Regardless of who was the first to
begin the idea, Strieker wanted to
thank all the people who support
and perform this endeavor. This
list is very long, but he'd like to
mention a few people without
whom the Open Road could not
exist. First, and most obviously, is
Michele Kaputa. Kaputa operates
Michele's Cafe, and has been a
constant support to various Open
Road events ove< the yeais. She
has always been very helpful and
accommodating, mostly by just
accepting all of the craziness that
comes along with holding an Open
Road. She has even been known to
keep the place open a little longer
to make sure that everyone has a
chance to perform.
The Open Road is also supported
greatly by the Clarion Arts
Council, which is headed by John
Miller. This organization pays
nationally and locally recognized
writers, poets, and musicians to
come to Michele's and give
Clarion a little culture. Sometimes
these events occur in conjunction
with the Open Road, bringing more
variety and a larger audience. So, I
look for these special nights spon-
sored by the Clarion Arts Council

at Michele's, followed by the Open
Road.
Strieker had mentioned that the
Open Road will try to relocate to
Hart Chapel, in order to accommo-
date more bands and other talent.
Fliers for this event should be out
in early March, so be on the look-
out.
To give everyone an idea of an
Open Road and what goes on,
here's a breakdown of last
Saturday's events. The night
begins with "the list," also known
as a sign-up sheet. "Where's the
list?" is usually the most common-
ly asked question through the
night Everyone willing to share
their talents signs the list. Then
Strieker takes control while acting
as Master of Ceremonies by
announcing each individual act.
The first act of the night was a
band called Merconium, which was
lead in vocals by Erin Walter. She
was accompanied by Nick "The
Cowboy" Rudowski, Matt Shirey,
and Quay Steffan. They played a
great set which included some
cover songs like "Coming in to Los
Angeles" by Arlo Gunthrie and an
old School House Rock classic, "3,
It's the Magic Number." Tim
Hanson gave an awesome kazoo
solo and Joe Gibson jumped from
the sidelines on bongos. It was a
great way to start off the night.
Some other acts included the
bluesy acoustics of Aaron
Fellenbaugh with original lyrics by
Mike Cody. Seanna Simon and
Maria Murawski both gave us a
laaiv ; r **if beautiful voices,
which will be teamed in the
upcoming production of Jesus
Christ Superstar. Joe Gibson, also
holding a starring role in JCS,
played guitar and sang a song by
Gonzo from The Muppet Movie,
and played an original that brought
a tear to many eyes. The final
musical act was Tim Hanson and

Nick Rudowski, playing their orig-
inal "Bondoed Pinto."
This wasn't all, as many poets
and writers were featured through
the night. From humorous to heart-
felt, and even what Cary Hughes
calls "hate poems" there was quite
a bit of variety. One of the poets
was Mark Strieker himself, who
read a total of sixteen composis-
tions with his usual flair. Cary, as
mentioned above, doesn't mess
around with her angry 'hate
poems.' "She was amazing!" said
fellow regular Sandy Nuss. Sandy
also took us on the usual journey

apologies about the fact that
"Baywatch Nights" was a big
break. Nor is she sorry that her

As McCoy, Waterstonreponds: helped her get work as a model,
"She sent her chauffeur into that

ing which he killed somebody.
That's the definition of Felony

"So?" he queries."Arlene Galvin

The scene continues, and it's evi-
dent that Harmon is well prepared.
The lines come easily and her per-
formance is flub-free. When the

Harmon, totally jazzed, leaps high

Later, Harmon sits down in her

"Abbie has a much higher I.Q. '
than I do," The 26-year-old actress
laughs, her voice a blend of her
hometown Dallas plus Demi
which she always believed would
be her ticket to acting.
"Getting 'Baywatch Nights' was
a very big deal," she says,
"because that's where it all started
for me- that's how I got into act-
ing."
The story goes that "Baywatch"
honcho David Hasselhoff met
Harmon on a plane and hired her
even though she had no acting
experience.
It's all true, Harmon acknowl-
edges. "Working on 'Baywatch
Nights' was 44 lessons of hitting
[my] mark, of being able to walk
and talk at the same time and of
finding [my] light and getting ot
of somebody else's light."
Harmon learned her lessons well.
She reportedly beat out 85 other
actresses to snag the role of Abbie
Carmichael, who has been work-
ing that past, four years in New
York's special narcotics unit. "I
don't know how many people they
looked at," she says. "I just feel
honored to be the one they chose."

Your dog deserves
TV that smells
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist
(CPX)- Do dogs understand
television? This is a question
that has puzzled humanity
since the days of the ancient
Greeks. It is also the topic of
an article sent in by alert read-
er Gwen Larriega from the
February issue of Dog Fancy
magazine (suggested motto:
"For People Who Take Dogs
Way Too Seriously").
According to the article,
headlined "Can They REALLY
Watch TV?", some dog owners
claim their dogs watch televi-
sion, especially when it is
showing "other dogs, wolves or
horses, large cats, birds, and
deer," and that often the dogs
responded by "running behind
the set to see if the animals are
there." This behavior is further
proof, as if we needed any, that
dogs are in the same intelli-
gence category as saltines.
Because of course there are no
animals behind the television
set. The animals live INSIDE
THE PICTURE TUBE, and you
youngsters out there should
feed them by pushing cold cuts
through the VCR slot.
But the point is that dogs do
watch TV, and they are not
always impressed. The Dog
Fancy article states that some
owners "described their dogs
as disliking commercials or
talk shows, responding to these
broadcasts by growling, head-
butting or biting the screen."
I can relate to dogs on this
issue. I react in a similar man-
ner, especially to the following
type of commercial:
"Hi, I'm a trusted celebrity
such as Dennis Miller, Michael
Jordan or the late Jimmy
Stewart. I make millions of
dollars, so you can be sure I
spend a lot of time analyzing
long-distance telephone rates.
Did you know that by dialing
10-10-23-
3499404956587054645, you
can save as much as 37 percent
if you call on Thursday
evenings during Lent and are a
joint taxpayer filing singly?
Well it's true! At least that's
what my script says. I have a
staff, so I have not personally
dialed a telephone in 12 years.
Remember: To save money,
simply dial 10, followed by 10,
followed by 23, followed by
3499404956587054645. Or
maybe it's
3499404956587054646. It's
something like that. A humor-
ous remark goes here. Where's
my check?"
When I see one of these com-
mercials — which is always fol-
lowed almost immediately by
ANOTHER trusted celebrity
pushing ANOTHER long-dis-
tance number — I often find
myself head-butting the TV
screen. As you can imagine,
this upsets the wolves.
But getting back to the issue:
It seems to me that for dogs to
become truly interested in TV,
the programming would have
to include the element of smell.
Smelling is very big, for dogs.
If you're walking your dog,
and you pass a spot on the
ground where any other dog,
any time in the history of the
world, has left a smell, your
dog will want to sniff that spot
for approximately the rest of
its life. You will need an
industrial forklift to pry your
dog off that spot. Why?
Because your dog's nose is an
amazingly complex organ,
that's why. Your dog appears
to simply be sniffing the same
stupid smell over and over
again, but in fact its nose is
performing a sophisticated
olfactory analysis, then trans-
mitting the resulting data to
your dog's brain, thus produc-
ing a pattern of neural firings
that can be translated, roughly,
as "Hey! A smell!"
Recently I spent a week dog-
sitting my in-laws' dog, Daisy,
who is a beagle, which means
she is, biologically, a nose with
feet. She spent the entire week
trying to locate a cat that hangs
out in our yard. Every time I
took her outside, she'd race
around the yard, nose to the
ground, whimpering, detecting
cat clues. Meanwhile, the
actual cat, in person, would be
sitting on a low wall, very cool,
watching Daisy. Sometimes
Daisy would be within three
feet of the cat, wildly excited,
sniffing the ground so hard that
she was sucking ants into her
nostrils. I'd point right at the
cat and say, "LOOK, Daisy!
There it is! The cat!" But
Daisy ignored me. Her attitude
was, "I have no time to look at
a cat, you idiot! I'm hot on the
trail of a cat!" Meanwhile, the
cat is shaking its head, think-
ing, "No wonder they drink out
of toilets."
So if television is going to
really reach dogs, particularly
the beagle demographic, it
needs more oders. I don't see
why we couldn't develop a TV
that, in addition to picture and
sound, emitted smells through
a hole at the bottom of the set.
That way, if you're watching,
say, a police drama, and there's
a shootout, and one of the good
guys is lying on the sidewalk,
critically wounded, whispering
his last, deeply touching words
to his partner, your dog could
go to the hole and find out how
the sidewalk smelled. There
could even be dog-oriented
commercials, whereby adver-
tisers would reward dog view-
ers with popular smells if they
followed simple commands
("Nose the receiver off the
hook! Good boy! Now press
10-10...").
In conclusion, I think all dog
lovers should write to the TV
industry and DEMAND pro-
gramming with a higher smell
content (insert your Jerry
Springer joke here). I also
want to stress to you young,
impressionable readers out
there that I was just kidding
about putting cold cuts into the
VCR. You should use ice
cream. Otherwise Bambi will
die. Thank you.
UAB Event
u Peer to Peer" offers
tips for romance
by Amanda Braden
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The UAB presented a semi-
nar/activity on "Romance and
Safe Sex," Wednesday evening
in Gemmell. It was presented
by two students, Jessica
Raymond and Chris DeMeio,

matters, and more, on

Program
to Peer program.
They started the seminar by
passing out two pamphlets on
the transmission and treatment
of sexually transmitted dis-
eases (STD's) and quickly
started the presentation by ini-
tiating a game they called "Sex
Jeopardy." The game consist-
ed of six topics and five multi-
ple choice questions that they
hung up on the wall, in
Jeopardy style.
The topics included: Herpes,
Bed Bugs, Aids 101, Aids
Testing, Safer Sex, and
Potluck. They then proceeded
to break the audience up into
three teams which competed
against each other in order to
gain the most points by
answering the questions cor-
rectly.
After the game they then
moved onto their informative,
hands-on part of their seminar.
They talked about STD's and
how they can be transmitted,
and how to protect yourself
against them. They passed
around novelty condoms and
pressed the point that they are
for entertainment purposes
only and do not protect against
STD's.
They talked about women's
condoms and dental dams and
how to properly use them.
After passing those items
around, they proceeded to have
a question-answer segment,
where students could express
some concerns that they had.
The seminar was very infor-
mative and current. They pre-
sented the information in a
way that college students
could relate to and understand.
"Peer to Peer is a student ori-
ented organization that helps
the student body by addressing
sex-related matters, and more,
on college campuses," says
Raymond. If anyone has ques-
tions or is interested in learn-
ing more about Peer to Peer,
you can contact Ralph Critten
at 226-2356 or Darlene Hartle
at 226-2121. You can also
attend their weekly meetings,
which are held on Mondays at
8 pm in the Health Center.

Music Review
DiFranco on the "up" swing and Dave goes acoustic
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Assistant
Lifestyles Editor ,
■bly (Dilate, Little Plastic
Castle) and a magnificent live
album, her streak of brilliance
has slowed somewhat.
Ani's basic sound has
remained unchanged. It's still
the off-kilter, folk-funk fusion
her rabid fans have come to
expect; delivered with odd
syncopation and her trade-
mark lyrics. Supporting
everything from feminism to
Ani DiFranco is one of the
hardest working people in the
music industry today, with
over twelve albums under her
belt in less than a decade,
constant touring schedule, and
her own recording label,
Righteous Babe; which han-
dles the release and promotion
of all her albums.
Of course, with such a
tremendous output, there are
bound to be a few rotten
apples in the bushel. Her new
CD, Up Up Up Up Up Up
(that's 6 up's, if you don't
care to count) certainly isn't
rotten, but does have it's fair
share of worms. After releas-
ing a pair of albums that
raised her profile consider-
racial understanding to open
sexuality, Ani's pen remains
biting and insightful. That's a
good thing, considering that
her words always were the
centerpiece of her career.
The album starts off very
promising with the bare-bones
"'tis of Thee", and the instant-
ly infectious "Virtue", but fal-
ters with the overly-long and
kJ Jf 3r
B1C MACS AN
BREAKFAST
MORNTTMa TVTAi
HURRY IN.. ..LIMITED TIME
preachy "Come Away With
It". The record's first single,
"Jukebdx", is a wonderful
look into the aftermath of a
painful break-up, and is one
of the strongest songs on the
album; keeping the listener
engaged until the last chord
has rung, which is where
many of the songs fall short.
Other highlights of the
album include the confession-
al "Angry Anymore" (which
tells of how she admitted her
bisexuality to her mother),
and the utterly groovy "Know
Now Then", which sounds
like a lost Dave Matthews B-
side.
The addition of keyboardist
Julie Wolf to Ani's ensemble
is a welcome one. She's the
perfect compliment to Ani's
"Joni Mitchell meets
Parliament-Funkadelic"
style. It also helps to spice up
some of the more long-winded
songs. The 13-minute jam of
"Hat Shaped Hat" would get
rather old quickly if it weren't
for Wolf's frantic organ play-
ing.
The main problems with the
record lie in the fact that
DiFranco's song writing has
dropped off a little, and that
her lyrics, while still a notch
above most artists today are
not quite as clever as they
used to be. Ani's charms are
not completely irresistible,
though. On my five-star rat-
ing system, Ani's Up Up Up
Up Up Up has recieved a 3.
Also out now is the new
double-live disc from Dave
Matthews. Featuring
acoustic guitar work from a
two year-old performance at a
small college, Live at Luther
College is the second official
release of Dave Matthews live
material. Dave appears here
without the rest of his band,
just guest Tim Reynolds.
Part of Dave's plan to cut
down on illegal bootleg sales,
Live at Luther College misses
the point completely. Where
example. More of a story
about his encounter with a
woman while on tour than a
full-fledged song, "Little
Thing" is a wonderful exer-
cise in quirkiness. It's worth
many Dave bootlegs are filled
with interesting and often
hilarious in-between song
chatter, LLC plays it safe with
only a few anecdotes from
Dave. The sound production
is wonderful, though, which is
usually a problem with
bootlegs.
The only problem is that
over two hours worth of music
without the dizzying sonic
textures of his backing band
can get mighty old after a
while. Where a ten-minute
jam session at an arena with
his whole band can be a near-
religious experience, with just
two acoustic guitars it can
induce sleep faster than a
John Tesh concert for non-
serious Dave listeners.
The only thing that saves it
is the enthusiasm the obvious-
ly intoxicated Dave shows
while performing his cre-
ations. Neither he or
Reynolds is the best guitarist
in the world, but occasionally
the stripped-down production
and treatment of the songs can
be rather endearing.
Take the previously unre-
leased "Little Thing" for
it just to hear the drunken
Dave croon
"Daaaammmnnn she was
fine!!"
There are plenty of high
points in the album. The men-
acing "Halloween" is blitzed
through at lightning speed,
confessional songs like
"Crash Into Me" and "Lover
Lay Down" are given a much
more intimate and personal
bedding, and the bootleg
favorite "Granny" is finally
given official release.
It basically comes down to
this: if you are a hardcore
Dave Matthews fanatic (I am),
then you'll love it. If not,
then you'll be bored to tears
with the two-plus hours of
material. Not factoring in my
immense bias towards Dave,
he has earned himself a 4 out
of 5 stars for Live at Luther
College.

Val Kilmer; Hollywood's leading man
by Denene Milner
College Press Exchange
The suite in a ritzy upper East
Side hotel is a comfortable mess of
papers, magazines and datebooks
are everywhere. A cozy tire coun-
ters the winter chill, and rock
music blares from a room near the
kitchen.
Suddenly, Val Kilmer - shoeless,
in jeans and T-shirt, hair slightly
askew- jumps up from his perch.
"Oh my God! I have to show you
pictures of my kids! Where's my
wallet?"
In an instant, he's darting from
room to room, sticking his pretty
blond head into corners, shuffling
papers, lifting magazines - eyes
peering here, there, everywhere.
The billfold slightly worn is in the
middle of the floor, right where he
left it.
Kilmer, who recendy gave voice
to Moses in 'DreamWorks' animat-
ed "The Prince of Egypt," and who
will be seen opposite Mira Sorvino
in "At First Sight" (opening this
Friday), fumbles through the wallet
and extracts pictures of his two
cutie pies. One daughter Mercedes,
is a princess with long, brown hair
and pretty doe eyes and his son
Jack has a perfecdy round, moon-
pie face.
And Val Kilmer - Hollywood's
oft-proclaimed temperamental tal-
ent/brat/borderline psycho/bad boy
- is behaving like any other doting
dad.
But is he just acting? After all,
tales told by gossip columnists,
publicists, makeup artists, produc-
ers, directors, and fellow actors
made it sound as if Kilmer were
going to show up for this interview
with an ax in hand.
But Val Kilmer is waaay more
interesting than that.
For openers, this guy skipped the
lush, high-profile life of
Hollywood to live in New Mexico.
But he doesn't have a luxurious
hideaway there; he lives in an
adobe house with two dogs, a cat
and a family of six buffalo. (Three
of the woolly animals have names:
James Brown, Jezebel, and
Bambi.) His best friend is a blind
American Indian veteran of the
Vietnam War, and Kilmer- who is
part Cherokee- is passionate about
a local school for American Indian
children.
There's more: Last summer, he
traveled to Iraq to deliver food and
medicine to mothers and children
ravaged by war and the sanctions
imposed on Saddam Hussein's
nation. Kilmer also has helped
build houses for low-income fami-
lies.
Maybe that's why he'd rather talk
about kids and nature and sunsets
and, of course, politics than about
the new movie he's headlining, but
Kilmer did feel compelled to
address all those reports about his
movie-set tantrums, quarrels with
directors, quirky acting habits,
date-hopping, etc. that have made
him president of Hollywood's Bad
Boy Club.
The evidence for the prosecution:
According to director Joel
Schumacher, Kilmer was "rude
and inappropriate... childish and
impossible" on the set of "Batman
Forever," and even got into a shov-

president of Hollywood's Bad
Boy Club.
The evidence for the prosecu-
tion:
According to director Joel
Schumacher, Kilmer was "rude
and inappropriate... childish
and impossible" on the set of
"Batman Forever," and even
got into a shoving match with
the director.
Kilmer was so difficult on the
set of "The Island of Dr.
Moreau"- he allegedly burned a
camera operator's face with a
cigarette and repeatedly
showed up late. Diretor John
Frankenheimer told
Entertainment Weekly: "I don't
like Val Kilmer, I don't like his
work ethic, and I don't want to
be associated with him ever
again."
"Dr. Moreau" co-star
Marloon Brando reportedly
told Kilmer, "You are confus-
ing your talents with the size of
your paycheck."
And now, Kilmer's version of
the events: he claims he's the
victim of two vindictive direc-
tors- Schumacher and
Frankenheimer- with "special
agendas."
"Like all rumors, they base
those stories on something that
was part true, and then made up
something to make it worse
than it really was," Kilmer says
as he stuffs newspapers
between logs in the fireplace.
"If you actually look at them,
there's no real accusation any-
where_ because if any of it
were true, then we'd have a
legal problem."
As Kilmer sees it, the inci-
dents were learning experi-
ences that taught him how to
deal with accusations: just
don't respond to them.
"I've learned a lot by doing
that," he reflects. "I was naive
- naive about business. I
thought, 'Just do good at acting
and everything will be fine."
He adds wryly: "I hired a
good publicist."
But there seems to be a
method to all his madness, and
its roots are in Kilmer's person-
ality. He's personable but
intense. Nice but no pushover.
He's also passionate and
extremely intelligent, a combi-
nation that easily could be con-
fused with arrogance.
Above all, Kilmer is incredi-
bly serious about his work. He
may be the quintessential
method actor, the kind who
goes out of his way to really
/ was naive- naive
about business. I
thought, ' Just do good
at acting and every-
thing will be fine. 99
-Val Kilmer
become the character.
Of course, this can get ugly.
Imagine the real-life Kilmer
behaving just as strangely as
drugged-up Jim Morrison-all
day, every day - for his role in
Oliver Stone's "The Doors."
Or picture him practicing a
Chopin nocturne evey day for
four months to prepare for a
90-second bit in "Tombstone."
Or demanding to live in a tent
in an isolated campsite in South
Africa and to be referred to
even by mail as his character,
John Patterson- to get his part
just right in "The Ghost and the
Darkness."
And anyone who doesn't
understand the need for all this,
who doesn't go along with the
program, who isn't equally
intense and smart -beware.
Director Stone once told
Entertainment Weekly that,
while he never had any prob-
lems with the actor, Kilmer is
"passionate about his work -
with the wrong approach, you
may see a side of him you don't
like."
Kilmer, of course, knows that
his acting is intense. How
intense?
Fasten your seat belts: he
likens his style of acting to
"having a child" or enduring a
beating at a civil-rights rally.
He does it for "the cause," and
to experience the miracle that
comes when you trust " that
you're not going to die when
you jump of the cliff.
"Rather than focusing on all
the negative things that can
happen (when you become the
character)." Kilmer explains,
"you want to focus on the fact
that nothing bad is going to
happen. I'm learning about

usual journey down the spiral
with her mopey poetry. Another
regular, Ms. Cynthia Fleck, did-
n't let us down as she performed
two of her signature poems. In
the middle of his musical show,
Joe Gibson throws in a story
about hugging a friend. Last, but
certainly not least, Ms. Sam
Brown broke out her clarinet and
wowed us with a piece from
1983. "I'm not gonna play any
Mozart," was her intro.
This list is definitely not com-
plete, but it gives you an idea of
what to expect. There are plenty
of people who have something to
offer and you could be one of
them. The Open Road is a con-
tinuing cultural experience here
at Clarion to see what our fellow
students have to share.
life, finding out about what I'm
made of - not retreating back to
where it's safe.
"I was going to movies and
watching TV, going to the the-
ater a little bit," Kilmer recalls.
"It was, like, 'Wow, you could
make a living doing this?
Great! What could be better?"

Golden Eagles beat LHU 70-61
Golden Eagles wrestle tough
against Edinboro
George Groff/The Clarion Call
Angle led the Golden Eagle's with a pair of pins early in the
match against Edinboro on Friday.
by Tom Casey
Clarion Call
Business Manager
George Groff/The Clarion Call
Senior Marvin Wells is now ranked 20th in Clarion
University history.
The Golden Eagles traveled to
Edinboro University, Friday,
February 5.
The Golden Eagles faced a solid
Edinboro team, who placed first
in the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference Championships a
week earlier at Slippery Rock
University. Clarion falls short in a
well-wrestled 23-22 meet.
Clarion closed an early lead on
Edinboro and led with a pair of
pins from Mark Angle and Brad
Collins, and a major decision
from Eric Mausser.
Additional wins by Shane
McChesney and Bob Topper were
not enough to edge out Edinboro.
Mark Angle, ranked #1 in the
nation, pins Patrick Howard, in
the first period of his match to
advance his record to (29-0).
Bob Topper pulled out an excit-
ing third period win over Bryan
Maher at 184 pounds. Maher
began the third period with a 1-0
lead after an escape. Topper, with
47 seconds left scored a takedown
to win a 2-1 decision. Brad
Collins set the tempo for the
Golden Eagle's come back by pin-
ning Justin Wilcox in the second
period of the 133-pound bout.
Shane McChesney won a close 4-
2 decision to Shaun Shapert at
157 pounds with a take down in
the final seven seconds.
Edinboro held on their lead with
a dual major decision from # 8
ranked Mark Samples at 165
pounds and #11 ranked Ryan
Shapert at 149 pounds. A forfeit
at heavyweight and a pin from
Jason Gabrielson at 125 pounds is
enough to beat Clarion by a one-
point deficit.
Clarion University is now 3-8-1
overall, while Edinboro advances
8-3-1.
Clarion will host the University
of Pittsburgh on Tuesday,
February 9, at 7:30 p.m. in W.S.
Tippin Gym.

Senior Marvin Wells passed
the milestone of 1000 career
points, contributing to the Golden
Eagles' 70-61 victory against
PSAC West opponent Lock
Haven during Saturday's game at
Tippin Gymnasium. The Eagles
now stand at 18-5 (6-3 PSAC
West) for the season.
Wells made his 1000th point on
a free throw with 5:30 remaining
in the first half. Wells now ranks
20th in the Clarion University
history with 1007 points.
Lormont Sharp led the Eagles,
making 17 points. Wells was
second on the team with 16, and
led the game with four offensive
rebounds (9 total). David
Shearer contributed 1 1 points and
eight rebounds. Leading Lock
Haven were Joaquin Porrata and
Jason Mumpower, each with 16
points.
Rico Abbondanza finished with
12. Twice in the first half,
Clarion pulled ahead by ten
points.
Lock Haven rallied to take a
one point lead with 4:33 left in
the first. The Eagles came back
from a five point deficit to take a
32-31 lead at half-time. The
game remained close for most of
the second half. The Eagles
pulled away by seven points with
3:51 to play.

The Clarion Track and Field

teams from the United States, a
few from Canada, and a number
of Olympians this past Saturday
at Kent State, in Ohio.
"The meet had excellent
competition housed in an excel-
lent facility," remarked Coach
Pat Mooney. This meet officially
marks the debut of the winter
track season. Highlighting the
field events were throwers Kara
Emrich and Heidi Shellgren.

Both women's shot put marks
were over 37 feet. Lisa
Hamrick's pole vault cleared
7' 1 1 .5". Ken Nickson (shot put)
and Allison Ochs (jumping) also
complemented the field events
for Clarion. On the track, Ean
King had a strong showing for
the men in the 5,000 m race with
a time of 1 5 : 35 . Junior Maureen
Long's finish in the 800 m race
of 2.22 was also one of the day's
big events. Reaching finals
amidst the opposition was Kervin
Charles, who competed in the
55 m High Hurdle finals. A few
members of the team have
already succeeded in achieving a
place at the PSAC Qualifiers.
Kare Emrich (shot), Lisa
Hamrick (pole vault), Ean King
(5000), Maureen Long (800), and
Heidi Shellgren (shot) mark the
beginning of the qualifers, which
will be held in the spring. "It
was a tough meet with a lot of
elite athletes. I feel it will be a
useful starting point for the sea-
son," concluded Mooney.
Next week, the team will split
squads. Some will attend another
high level meet at Bucknell, and
the others venture to Slippery
Rock.

Clarion's women's basketball
team took a fallot to visiting
Lock Haven in a 78-71 loss in
the PSAC West playoff in Waldo
S. Tippin Gymnasium.
Lock Haven's Bald Eagles (8-
11 overall, 3-5 PSAC West) held
a commanding lead at the end of
the first half with a score of
41-30.
In the opening twenty minutes,
Becky Peter attained 10 of her 12
points to boost the Bald Eagles.
With a mere 1 1 minutes remain-
ing in the game, Clarion made a
come back to repress Lock
Haven and make the score 55-52.

NCAA President speaks NCAA seeks court
out against gambling protection from bias
by College Press Exchange
SAN ANTONIO-The worst prob-
lem of affecting college sports
today may be illegal gambling,
and colleges and universities
should do more to crack down on
it, said NCAA president Cedric
Dempsey. "I challenge you to
send a clear message that you ath-
letics programs will not be used
as the poker stake in sports
wagering and point shaving,"
Dempsey told delegates at the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association's annual convention
in January. "We, all of us in col-
lege sports and higher education,
must turn up the heat. We must
take the initiative to help uncover
student bookie operations on our
campuses." The integrity of col-
legiate sports programs is already
under fire and will continue to
lose respect if schools don't do
more to fight illegal gambling, he
said. Dempsey also warned
school officials not to "look the
other way" when they know that
boosters are betting on games and
that students are wagering on
campus. "We have had more rev-
elations of illegal sports wagering
and point shaving in the last
year," Dempsey added. "And
regrettably, we may have seen
only the tip of the iceberg."
Referring to point-shaving scan-
dals in basketball at Northwestern
University and Arizona State
University, Dempsey said illegal
gambling is not a victimless
crime. "Ask Steven Smith or
Dion Lee if what happened to
them was a game," he said. "Ask
their former universities if they
feel victimized. Ask other stu-
dent-athletes who competed with
Smith and Lee if they have been
made to feel guilty by associa-
tion." Lee pleaded guilty for
scheming to fix three
Northwestern basketball games in
1995 in exchange for money.
Smith, the second career leading
scorer at Arizona State, is await-
ing sentencing in his role in a
1994 point-shaving scandal.

lawsuits
by College Press Exchange
WASHINGTON- The NCAA,
fending off accusations that it
enforces eligibility rules that dis-
criminate against female athletes,
asked the Supreme Court to pro-
tect it from lawsuits based on a
federal law that prohibits sexual
bias in educational programs sup-
ported by federal money.
The justices are expected to
decide by June whether the anti-
bias law commonly known as
Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972 can be
applied to the National Collegiate
Athletic Association. Arguments
for both sides focus on whether
the powerful association should
be considered an indirect recipient
of federal aid because it collects
dues from 1,200 member schools-
nearly all of which are federally
subsidized. If the high court rules
that Title IX does apply to the
NCAA, the association will have
to defend itself against Renee
Smith, a former volleyball player
at Bonaventure University who
says her athletic career was cut
short because she was illegally
declared ineligible to play.
Smith, who lives in Wintersville,
Ohio, played volleyball for the
university during the 1991-92 and
1992-93 seasons. She chose not
to play the following season and
graduated in less than three years.
Smith went on to pursue a gradu-
ate degree from Hofstra
University and a law degree from
the University of Pittsburgh. At
each, she tried to play two more
seasons of volleyball.
The NCAA squashed her efforts
using a rule that bars graduate stu-
dents from competing in intercol-
legiate athletics at a school other
than the one from which they
earned their undergraduate
degree.
Smith alleges that the NCAA
grants a disproportionately high
number of waivers from that rule
to men. The NCAA, quick to
point out that a higher number of
men actually apply for the
waivers, claims that a higher per-
centage of waivers are actually
granted to women.

favor.
WELLSI Golden Eagle tops
Saturdays game with a 1000
points.
Shearer iced the win with
two free throws with 58 seconds
left, putting the Eagles ahead by
10. LHU's Mum power drained
a late three-pointer to pull his
team within nine. The 70-61
victory was the Eagles' second
over LHU (5-18) this season.
After an impressive 14-1 start,
including two games scoring
over 100 points, the Eagles'
have split their last eight out-
ings. The team has won three of
its last four. The 18th win
marks the 1998-99 season as
coach Ron Righter's fourth best
with the Eagle's. The next tip-
off will be Saturday, February

This week:
Do you think John Elway will come back next season?
Bud Bender-No. Why would he want to take a shot at
three-peating and come up unsuccessful because the Pittsburgh
Steelers will knock them out in the AFC championship?
Danielle Hock-Yes, because he likes to be the center of attention.
Tim Bowerman-No, because he is too old and decrepit.
George Groff-Yes, and he will win his third championship in a row
without a doubt.
Matt Gaumer-lf I were him, I would call it quits because he just won
his second Super Bowl in a row, was recently named MVP, and
played in the Pro-Bowl. I would take the money and run.

On Valentine's Day, pulses will
pound, emotions will fill the air,
and hearts will be broken, but it
won't be no date. It will be the
traditional start of the Nascar
Winston Cup racing season, the
41st running of the Daytona 500.
Over 150,000 fans will soak up
the Florida sun Sunday at noon to
witness "The Great American
Race". Wire to wire coverage will
be provided by CBS (WJAC-
Channel 7 and KDKA-Channel
8). Last season, Dale Earnhardt
finally slayed the only dragon he
had yet to conquer winning the
1998 Daytona 500. This season
there may be a new face in the
winner's circle. Many drivers
have changed their rides and
sponsors. This activity is much
like free-agency in other sports.
This is what makes Daytona a
great race, the winner may be a
veteran warrior of the track or a
young up start looking for his 15
minutes of fame. But the more
things change, the more they stay
the same. As if not tying the sin-
gle season mark for most wins in
a season was not enough, Jeff
Gordon has picked up where he
left off in 1998 by capturing the
pole position for Sunday's race.
He set the top speed in qualifying
at over 195 miles per hour. He is
joined on the front row by rookie
Tony Stewart, who is causing a lot
of buzz around Nascar circles
with his performance in qualify-
ing after coming over from Indy
car racing. Nascar is the largest
spectator sport in the United
States today. It is also one of the
fastest growing. There is a good
reason for this, more and more
fans are drawn every year by the
blinding speed, close calls, and
monster wrecks which is what
Daytona International Speedway
is all about. So give it a shot this
Valentine's Day and maybe, just
maybe; you'll fall for it.

team work, personal growth,
and experience. Following is an
account of the activities that the
club experienced this past week-
end, February 6, 1999.
The group of nine ambitious
Recreational Outdoor Club
members pieced together as
much sleep as they could after
driving nine hours to the Mt.
Rogers Recreational area in
Virginia.
Mt. Rogers, one of the high
points that makes up the Blue
Ridge mountain chain, would be
the first mountain top ascent for
some of the explorers, but just
another one in the bag for oth-
ers. The second day of the trip
was spent hiking up the moun-
tain to set up base camp.
The wind was a problem for
the team a they struggled to
make lose nylon tents taunt in
the wind. Shortly after having
camp set up, and tied down
from the hollowing winds, the
team dawned their summit
packs and turned north on the
trail. The summit was within
three miles of base camp and
the team started out on an arro-
gant playful hike up the moun-
tain.
They were not fully aware
that only three miles could
become an unreachable dream at
the current altitude of 5,721' in
early February.
They continued to move
towards the summit stopping on :
rock outcrops to take pictures
and allow the wind to hold their
leaning bodies from shear drops
of fifty feet in places.
The explorers linked trail to
trail, always looking for the
most direct course as they slow-
ly advanced up the mountain.
With clouds whipping by, the
team continued to enjoy the hike
as they walked through the
alpine meadows and admired
wild ponies that run free in this
area.
Due to local cold front that
was moving in from the west,
the visibility gradually
decreased as the team reached
the summit. Excited and slight-
ly fatigued the members each
expressed their happiness to
reach the highest point in
Virginia.
Pictures were snapped as the
hikers regained their breath.
The forested high point of the
journey did not appear to com-
pare to the rock outcrops of the
wind swept mountain prairie
that the hike up provided.
The visibility had gradually
decreased now to the point of
only a dozen feet or so. After
some map studying and a few
missed blazes on the way down,
the team found themselves split
up, and heading in the wrong
direction.
It was nothing that the group
hadn't encountered before and
quickly the problem was
resolved: "Formulate/Execute"
a pretty good motto to live by,
one of the hikers stated, as the
group headed toward camp
again.
Another successful trip for the
ambitious members of the
Recreational Outdoors Club!

SPORTS CORNER
4 1st running of the Daytona
500 will have pulses pounding
This week:
Do you think John Elway will come back next season?
Bud Bender--No. Why would he want to take a shot at
three-peating and come up unsuccessful because the Pittsburgh
Steelers will knock them out in the AFC championship?
Danielle Hock-Yes, because he likes to be the center of attention.
Tim Bowerman -No, because he is too old and decrepit.
George Groff-Yes, and he will win his third championship in a row
without a doubt.
Matt Gaumer-lf I were him, I would call it quits because he just won
his second Super Bowl in a row, was recently named MVP, and
played in the Pro-Bowl. I would take the money and run.
NEXT WEEK
Do you feel that they should let Lawerance Taylor in the
Hall of Fame?

On Valentine's Day, pulses will
pound, emotions will fill the air,
and hearts will be broken, but it
won't be no date. It will be the
traditional start of the Nascar
Winston Cup racing season, the
41st running of the Daytona 500.
Over 150,000 fans will soak up
the Florida sun Sunday at noon to
witness "The Great American
Race". Wire to wire coverage will
be provided by CBS (WJAC-
Channel 7 and KDKA-Channel
8). Last season, Dale Earnhardt
finally slayed the only dragon he
had yet to conquer winning the
1998 Daytona 500. This season
there may be a new face in the
winner's circle. Many drivers
have changed their rides and
sponsors. This activity is much
like free-agency in other sports.
This is what makes Daytona a
great race, the winner may be a
veteran warrior of the track or a
young up start looking for his 15
minutes of fame. But the more
things change, the more they stay
the same. As if not tying the sin-
gle season mark for most wins in
a season was not enough. Jeff
Gordon has picked up where he
left off in 1998 by capturing the
pole position for Sunday's race.
He set the top speed in qualifying
at over 195 miles per hour. lie is
joined on the front row by rookie
Tony Stewart, who is causing a lot
of buzz around Nascar circles
with his performance in qualify-
ing after coming over from Indy
car racing. Nascar is the largest
spectator sport in the United
States today. It is also one of the
fastest growing. There is a good
reason for this, more and more
fans are drawn every year by the
blinding speed, close calls, and
monster wrecks which is what
Daytona International Speedway
is all about. So give it a shot this
Valentine's Day and maybe, just
maybe, you'll fall for it.

The Recreational Outdoors
Club is a student run organiza-
tion here at Clarion University
that aims to provide high energy
outdoor activities. The club was
founded in 1993, with the size
of the group now reaching forty.
On an average semester, the
members of this organization
will go on twelve trips that
include: Backpacking, Caving,
Skiing, Canoeing, Rock
Climbing, Paintball, and White
Water Rafting. The organization
is dedicated to helping individu-

With good behavior,
jailed Tyson may
fight
by G.E. Branch III
USAToday ##
Bars won't necessarily keep
Mike Tyson out of the ring, but
adviser Shelly Finkel said the for-
mer heavyweight champion is
"depressed" nonetheless.
"We didn't expect a sentence of
this severity at all," said Finkel,
whose fighter has been in the
Montgomery County, Md., jail
since Friday.
If Tyson completes, without inci-
dent, the first couple of months of
his one-year sentence for
assaulting two motorists, he can
begin training outside the
Maryland jail and travel to fight if
cleared by District Judge Stephen
Johnson.
"If he wanted to have a fight,
they would petition the judge,"
prosecutor Douglas Gansler said
Tuesday, "It's not atypical.
People do it all the time for wed-
dings, funerals, or sometimes for
work-related business."
Tyson, 32, had been scheduled to
fight April 24 in Las Vegas against
a yet- to-be- selected foe. His legal
team still is pondering an appeal of
the sentence, but that would
expose Tyson to the risk of a
longer sentence if convicted in a
jury trial.
Other potential obstacles for
Tyson: Indiana could rule him in
violation of parole for his 1992
rape conviction, and Nevada again
could strip him of his license to
fight.

Clarion plans defense
against Y2K problems
by Mark Strieker
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The year 2000 is practically around the corner, but
Clarion University has been making preparations for
possible computer problems in advance.
The Y2K Committee was formed in 1996 to ensure
problems are avoided in the University's numerous
computer systems.
"We can't fix everything, but I don't think it's
going to be quite the doomsday," said Karen
DeMauro, Director of Computing Services.
DeMauro co-chairs .the Y2K committee with
Thomas Gusler, associate provost for administration.
"We are dealing quietly, and I think effectively, with
the issue," said Gusler.
The major work is converting the large computer
software systems used on campus. These include the
Student Information System (SIS), the Financial
Records System (FRS), the Alumni Development
System (ADS) and a half-dozen smaller but critical

The Y2K compliant SIS Plus system will be
installed from April 1 to 12. During ^his time, the
system will be operating on a read-only-basis. This
means that no new data can be entered into the sys-
tem from April 1 to 12.
Later this year, the SIS f£it$$yst6m will- have a test
run on one of the smaller ALPHA units that were
purchased last year.
The VAXA and VAXB will be replaced by the Gold
and Blue ALPHA systems. The Gold system, which

Governor Ridge, ,
educational funding
is a win-win for Pa
How can you go wrong with educating your peo-
ple, your constituency. With Governor Ridge deny-
ing the State System their full request, he has cho-
sen to put the financial pressure of education back
on the students and their parents.
Tuition as normal, is bound to rise.
Last year's tuition freeze didn't help these mat-
ters. State System schools were forced to scramble
for funds. This scramble led them to cut classes,
cut professors; in turn cutting educational opportu-
nities.
What has to go this year? More professors and
classes? Or maybe the deficit will be seen in a
reduction of campus safety officers or maintenance
personnel. Should we be prepared for a less safe
campus and treacherous wintertime sidewalks and
roadways.
The State System has asked for approximately
$13 million more than Ridge has indicated he is
willing to allocate.
Several items and programs can be provided with
$13 million. We will never know what we could
have had. The even bigger question is where will
this $13 million go? State roads, stadium funding
or the ever popular government inflation - are all
possibilities.
Are final question is; what is Ridge's motive?
Does this somehow help his possible bid for the
Vice-Presidency or does it allow him to give this
money so that a special interest group can be
appeased. Once again the possibilities are endless.

Student Senate explains their
position concerning V-P Brown
Over the past few weeks, Student Senate has been
dealing with a very important issue; it has been dis-
cussed within the Senate for some time and because of
the many concerns it has prompted, we felt a need to
respond. As most of you know, Vice-President John S.
Brown was arrested January 19 on charges of posses-
sion, unlawful delivery, possession with intent to deliver
cocaine, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was
arraigned the same day and released on $10,000 bond.
On January 24, 1999, Vice-President Brown informed
the entire Student Senate of the incident. At that time,
Senators were invited to ask questions and solicit infor-
mation from Brown about the situation. Following this
preliminary meeting, a closed session of the Student
Senate was called on January 25 to discuss the matter
further. At the conclusion of these two meetings, the
Senate reached a consensus that because of the alleged
nature of the crime, we would support him through the
remainder of his term.
"You are innocent until proven guilty," is the statement
many senators made. If the Student Senate had decided
to convict a person before the courts have even tried the
case, the Senate would be no better than those who
wrongly condemn others or make unjust accusations
without having the facts or knowing the entire truth.
Brown has not been convicted of a crime. He has been
arrested on allegations of a crime. Whether or not the
charges are true or false is a decision for the courts.
Because Brown has not been convicted of a crime, and
because the incident had nothing to do with his senator-
ial duties, he is still qualified to be a Student Senator.
Therefore, there is no way the Senate can entertain a
vote to remove him from office. If Brown were to
vacate the office of Vice-President, he would have to do
so on his own accord. The Student Senate cannot vote
him out, nor force him out
of an office that he has
been rightfully elected.
Because of the amount of
feedback Senators were
receiving from students,
faculty, and administra-
tion, the Student Senate
met together one last time

as a whole on the February 7, to specifically discuss the
issue. Senators talked openly about the input they had
received and also about their personal feelings. The
majority of Senate agreed that Vice-President is doing a
fine job and that he would continue to do well for the
remainder of his term. At the same time though,
Senators also noted the dissatisfaction many students
feel over the fact that he is still in office.
Because the Senate cannot take a formal vote on this
issue, many Senators spoke to him personally about the
feedback they had received and many others wrote their
viewpoints down for him to read. Once these comments
were presented and discussed with him, it was then up to

"Respect Doesn't' Age"
We are taught as youngsters to
respect the elderly. At what age
does that become unnecessary?
Driving down a busy street in
Philadelphia, I was on the verge
of getting an 'attitude' because
traffic was as slow as the sap that
runs down the bark of a tree. Yet
it was beautiful, sunny Sunday
afternoon, so I just turned up the
radio and began to hum a tune by
Anita Baker. Traffic inched
along, and I had moved within
two cars form the light and the
intersection where I would thank-
fully turn off Wadsworth Avenue.
What I saw then so amazed and
disturbed me that I had to turn my
radio down to hear what was
going on. The man in the car
nearest to the intersection was
leaning out of his window and
yelling obscenities at an elderly
woman who, while crossing the
street, had dropped some items in
front of the man's car. The
woman was trying to pick up the
parcels, but as she was older
(about 70 or 75), she was doing so
very slowly. Instead of being
patient or even getting out to help
her, this man was yelling at her to
hurry up because he would miss
the light. When the lady looked
up she had a confused and hurt
look on her face. I was outraged!
i jumped out of my car to help her
gather her parcels, by the time I
had reached her, she had picked
up her bags and was continuing to
cross the street. I asked if she was
all right and with tears in her eyes
she relied "Sure honey, I'm fine
thanks." I glared at the man in the
first car, and 1 did not move for
two reasons: I wanted to make
sure that this lady was really O.K.
and I wanted this man to wait
right where he was, and I dared
him to say anything about it. I
then offered the lady a ride home.
"No thank you, I am fine" she
answered and crossed the street.
On the way back to my car, I
again glared at the man in the first
car (as the light turned red again)
wanting so much to give him a
piece of my mind. He looked
away guiltily. For the rest of my
ride home I was angry. That
could have been my grandmother
out there. I wondered if that man
would have been as rude and
uncaring if that were his grand-
mother or someone he knew.
We are taught as children to
respect our elders for they posses
the knowledge and wisdom that
we, as young adults, and will try
to gain. Also, by living through
many years and experiences,
these elders have earned their
positions in life. These are rea-
sons to respect elders in general,
but we learn from the eiders that
are close to us personally they
have much more to offer than just
history. They are providers of
love and attention, milk, cookies,
and bedtime stories. They are
often our advocates when we feel
like it is us against the world. We
are taught to open doors, say
"please" and "thank you" and to
wait patientiy through their many
lectures on life. This display of
respect knows no cultural bound-
aries. We know that the Chinese
extend a deep bow and the greater
the respect for their elders. The
older the person, the deeper the
bow and the greater the respect,
for they too realize that with age
comes wisdom. People in India
hold all elderly persons (relative
or not) in the highest regards by
speaking in light voices and
avoiding their gaze (it is consid-
ered disrespectful to look directly
into the eyes of an elder in India).
These traditions in other cultures
occur in present times. What has
changed so much in the American
culture that no longer hold our
elders in high regard.
The fact that the elderly persons
in our community are not as
respected as before is no secret.

In the spring of 1996 I left
sunny Charleston, South Carolina
and ventured north to the snow
covered streets of Clarion,
Pensylvania. The move was an
indecisive one and without the
help of many people the transition
would have been a lot harder.
So, with graduation approach-

ed to thank and bring out some
memories of the special people of
my life.
First and foremost, I would like
to thank all my brother s of

great memories we shared in the
last couple of years. To my little
brother Ed Selker and two little
Matt Hamilton, keep the family
alive and the best. To the best

crazy times that will never be for-
gotten.

Student Senate President
Being a team member is
important in organizations, life
Being a Team Member
m ^ tt As president of the Student
Senate, I think that being a
team member is an essential part
to any organization. It is impera-
tive for those involved with any
type of group to work together,
exchange ideas, and share infor-
mation. Without cooperation and
teamwork, advancement can be
minimal.
Recently, the Student Senate has
experienced a lot of challenging
situations. Over this past year, the
original alternate list has been
exhausted and many of those cur-
rently serving used to be alter-
nates. Since the beginning of the
year, two members from the exec-
utive committee have resigned;
others, (some of which who held
chair positions) have also
resigned. When resignations
occur, it places a lot of stress on
those who stay, and in turn, the
whole Senate is held back in
accomplishing its main goals
because of the time it takes to
introduce and train new people.
Although this year has been a bit
rocky, I feel very confident in
knowing that the entire Senate has
always worked well together as a
team. As a Senator, one encoun-
ters a very demanding and stress-
ful job; it is definitely not for
everyone. It comes with little
reward and sometimes, a lot of
headache. Throughout 97-98 and
this past year, I have never seen

anybody not try to help someone
out or not try to cooperate with
someone when needed.
The main thing that I want to
note though, is that not just for the
Student Senate, but for any orga-
nization, understandable commu-
nication is needed between all
members. Granted, it is inevitable
that sometimes miscommunica-
tion is going to occur, but the
more people concentrate on being
as specific as possible, the more
misunderstandings will be less
likely to occur.
Last wee, I read former Senator
Bean's article in the Clarion Call.
Bean noted that the main reason
for her resignation was that she
felt that she was not being "treat-
ed as a team member." Because of
her article, I felt extremely
prompted to write a response. The
Student Senate seemed to be pre-
sented rather poorly and many of
the things that were mentioned
were things that I felt were incor-
rect and needed clarification.
I have worked with Shannon for

'Sequelle' gets defended by a friend
Dear Editor,
(jg> This is a response to the Call's editori-
al about the 'Sequelle.' As a friend of both a
former 'Sequelle' editor and a current editor,
I feel after all the aggravation I've seen both
of them go through because of the problems
that the yearbook has faced, someone besides
the staff and former staff should defend the
'Sequelle.' If there is no war between the
Call and the 'Sequelle,' I have to ask why the
Call decided a response was necessary. I
really don't think either organization wants a
war, but the facts as I see them are that there
really is one whether the Call wants to admit
it or not. For some reason, the 'Sequelle' has
been made to feel as if it should compete with
the Call, but there is no reason why the two
should have to compete. Do apples compete
with oranges? That notion is so ridiculous it,
of course does not even deserve an answer.
But really, that is such an old simplistic anal-
ogy that explains the difference between a
newspaper and a yearbook. While both are
types of media just as apples and oranges are
types of fruit, they are two different things
that can not be compared with each other.
Now that I'm showing my old age and what
college has done for me in the last four years,
I should make a few points known that the
Call seriously neglected to print.
The Call has pointed out that the 'Sequelle'
receives a measly $30,000, which is not a lot
of money, compared to the Call only receiv-
ing $15,000. Of course, you forgot to men-
tion one simple thing; The Call unlike the
'Sequelle' is allowed to sell ads. Ads, of
course, is how most yearbooks pay for them-
selves, but since this option is denied to the
§§
If the 'Sequelle ' could sell
ads in the yearbook, it would
allow them to produce a higher
quality yearbook as the Call
seems to point out that is what
the student body would like to
see. 99

Senior Accounting Major
yearbook, the organization has suffered some
serious lack of funding problems. If the
'Sequelle' could sell ads in the yearbook, it
would allow them to produce a higher quali-
ty yearbook as the Call seems to point out
that is what the student body would like to
see.
I have a few other points I'd like to mention
that the Call did not. The Call made the seri-
ous mistake of trying to compare our year-
book with Harvard and Oberlin. The prob-
lem, of course, is that you can not compare
our yearbook with either of them at all. For
one, both of these schools are private and stu-
dents pay higher tuitions than Clarion. They
also, I'm sure have a bigger staff, and of
course, I can practically guarantee you that
their yearbook's would be budgeted more
than a measly $30,000. I would not be sur-
prised if they were allowed the opportunity to
advertise as well. Trying to compare these
two yearbooks with our own is simply unre-
alistic, not to mention stupid.
Also, as for your suggestions about a video-
tape or CD ROM yearbook, and the assump-
tion that CSA would support such a thing,
you must be crazy. You seem to forget that
such options would require even more money
and time than creating a hardbound book. Jf
the CSA doesn't like giving the measly bud-
get to the 'Sequelle' that it does now, why
would it give the yearbook even more money
for such untested ideas. A videotape and a
CD ROM yearbook are both costly, ridicu-
lous, and even more time consuming than a
book. Besides that, at least a book will live
on, but a videotape and a CD ROM will
become obsolete and already are becoming
obsolete even as I write this as more people
have abandoned videotapes for DVD's.
Who's to say what will be popular 20 years

RIGGSI Respect never
ages, from Page 3.
Unfortunately, the incident that I
described earlier is not an
uncommon one. Each incident
may not be as harsh, but every
time that we are evidently short
of patience with our elders, we
show this loss of respect. This
includes those in front of us in
the supermarket checkout lines,
driving situations or simply those
who walk slowly in front of us.
You know, the ones you huff and
puff as you rush around them.
We, as adults, are guilty of this,
and it is evident in the way that
children regard the elderly.
There was a time I felt that my
grandmother lectured too much
and was out of touch with what
was currendy going on in my
life, but I would never let on to
her that felt this way. My moth-
er told me that it was important
to my grandmother to talk to my
brothers and me. I realized later
that it was not only important to
her but us as well because she
knew exactly what she was talk-
ing about even when I thought
she did not Her life experiences
often shielded us from unneces-
sary experiences (I say often
because of course we did not
always listen). I have seen chil-
dren today openly disrespect
elders in the community because
they were not their own grand-
parents. I have heard them swear
in front of, and even , the older
persons. They have ignored,
pushed, even hit, the older per-
sons. This terrible list goes on
and on.

emphases on team work. From Page 4.
more people concentrate on being as specific as
possible, the more misunderstandings will be less
likely to occur.
Last week, I read former Senator Bean's article
in the Clarion Call. Bean noted that the main rea-
son for her resignation was that she felt that she
was not being "treated as a team member." The
Student Senate seemed to be presented rather
poorly and many of the things that were men-
tioned were things that I felt were incorrect and
needed clarification.
I have worked with Shannon for the past year
and a hal£and during that time, I havealways felt
that we worked well together. Last year we con-
sulted and cooperated with each other on many
items concerning the Rules and Regulations
Committee (which she chaired 97-98) and the
Appropriations Committee (which I chaired 97-
98). I commend Shannon for the work she has
-done over the past year and half and for the time
that she has dedicated to the Student Senate.
In her article, Shannon made some good points.
I understand why she was so upset over the Call
written on 2/4/99. The article made it seem as
though Shannon was the only one at fault for the
lack of quorum, which was entirely untrue. In
fact, in all honest, quorum was never even lost
Because of a misunderstanding as to what the
total number for quorum actually was, the contin-
uation of voting business ceased. Business did
not cease because Shannon left the meeting early.
In addition to that thought, two other Senators
were also absent from the meeting, which added
to the "quorum" confusion, and a vacant spot still
needed to be filled.
What I am more concerned about though are
some of the things Shannon mentioned in her arti-
cle as to what Senate could have done to accom-
modate her needing to leave the meeting early.
Shannon mentioned in her article that, "Maybe
quorum would have been met if nominations had
been held before to fill the vacant spot which
obviously desperately need to be filled." This
statement made me rather upset As chair, I
always try to make accommodations as needed.
Most of the time, if needed, alterations can be
made. It is very rare that something cannot be
worked out in an agreeable fashion for everyone.
However, because Shannon never told me in
advance that she needed to leave the meeting
early, there was no reason for nominations to
occur at any other time than under new business.
Had she mentioned to me beforehand that she
would need to leave by a certain time, I would
have been more that glad to move items up on the
agenda to ensure that all motions could have been
made. Telling me ahead of time could have
saved a lot of confusion for everyone. Yet,
because I had no previous knowledge of her
much needed early departure from the meeting,
there was no reason for me to change the agenda,
(as she implied could have been done).
Under my report that evening (in the very begin-
ning of the meeting) I let everyone know that a
vote needed to be taken for the new alternate list;
it would be under new business, item A. Shannon
knew that a vote was going to occur later in the
meeting, and at any time she could have informed
the Senate that she would need to leave early, ask-
ing for a change in the agenda. But, she did not;
nor did she motion to recess, if she needed to
recess the meeting to make accommodations
specifically related to her, then it is only natural
that she be the one to make the motion. It is not
another Senator's responsibility to make a motion
for her, as she seemed to imply in her article.
Shannon also noted that someone could have
said, "don't go". However, somebody did say,
"don't go". When Shannon came to VP Brown
and myself during the meeting only minutes
before she needed to leave to tell us that she had
to go, both I and VP Brown said to Shannon that
she could not go. We told her that if she left, we
would probably lose quorum. So somebody did
tell her not to go. In speaking with Shannon later
though, she did make me aware that VP Brown
told her to stay another minute; Shannon assumed
that another minute meant until all business was
over, which would be just a few minutes.
As one can see, it is very easy for miscommu-
nication between members in an organization to
occur. As much as groups and organizations try
to prevent it from happening, some misunder-
standings are just inevitable. As members of a
team, we can only try to concentrate more on
being as specific as possible to make sure that
everything is clear and understandable for every-
one.
In her article, Shannon also said, "Now do you
think that students are going to want to join
Student Senate if they are harassed for leaving a
meeting early to go and be visible to about 1000
more students than in that room? Probably not
it's called compromise." Yes, it is called compro-
mise. But when one person neglects to tell the
rest of the group of group or the rhair of that
group in advance about any special accommoda-
tions that may be needed, how can one expect a
compromise to occur? As a voting member of the
Student Senate, it is only appropriate to inform
the rest of those voting members in advance of an
absence or an early departure.
As for being "harassed", I highly doubt other
senators "harassed" Bean about the meeting.
Many of the Senator's are Shannon's friends, and
yes I do believe that many of them came to her to
let her know other people were upset and to
express the need for an answer as to why she left
the meeting early without letting the entire Senate
know. But, using the word "harassed" is improp-
er at that. It makes it seem as thought Senators
approached her in threatening manner, which is
entirely untrue.
Although I disagree with the reasons for former
Senator Bean's decision to resign, I understand
her need to do so. Shannon was a good Student
Senator who made many positive contributions to
the Student Senate. Even though she feels she
was not being treated as a "team member", at the
same time I feel that by not informing everyone
else of the special accommodations she needed,
she was not being a "team member" herself.
It is important to remember that we are all
humans and that yes, we all do make mistakes.
Nobody is exempt from inaccuracy or making a
wrong decision. Everyone is going to mess up at
some point in their life; even those people who
are seen as role models or idols. Perhaps if better
communication was received between Shannon
and myself before the meeting or between VP
Brown and Shannon during the meeting, none of
this would have happened. But it did, so one
deals with it and moves forward.
I will continue to encourage people to become
involved with the Student Senate. Although we
have seen our share of unpleasant situations this
past y ear, we have continued to pull together as a
team and work with each other. Being a Student
Senator can offer a lot of opportunity and leader-
ship experience. At the same time though, it also
requires a lot of responsibility. If you feel that you
would make a good Student Senator, then run for
office this March. The more qualified and dedi-
cated individuals run for the Student Senate, the
better off the Senate will be in the future years to
come.

A few other points I'd like to make
against the Call's suggestions, it
would be nearly impossible to do a
videotape. With senior's busy
schedules there would be no way to
get allow of them together to be on a

sonally, I don't like most of my pho-
tographs, but I dislike the sound of
my voice and on TV and my appear-
ance even more. I don't even want
to contemplate how difficult editing
such a thing would be for the year-
book staff. That would probably be
even more difficult and time con-
suming than a book. Also, for your

Busy holiday break for CU maintenance
by Sandy Wadding
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Severe snow and ice storms
throughout the area hampered the
efforts of maintenance employees,
but many scheduled projects were
completed.
According to director of facili-
ties management Clare Heidler,
"Overall, Fall 1998 was a very
productive semester break for get-
ting quite a few projects complet-
ed."
When asked how the work
crew overcame the frigid weather,
Heidler said, "A lot of persever-
ance and a lot of long hours. Our
strategy was to try to stay even
with it."
"The ice was not something,
given the temperatures, that could
be completely removed. Salt was
put on the ice, but it would just sit
there. It would not do anything.
The staff tried to make sure that
they could clean up whatever pos-
sible without tearing up their
equipment," he said.
"Until the weather warmed up
enough to soften things up, it
could not be completely
removed," Heidler added.

outage threatened to delay the

Green: Summer classes not decreasing
by Patricia Boberg
Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor
The student misconception that
the College of Arts and Sciences
is decreasing its number of cours-
es available for summer sessions
may be proved otherwise.
According to Dr. Stanton Green,
Dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences, "The number of classes
available are staying the same, if
not increasing each year."
"The process of selecting sum-
mer session courses is actually a
difficult process," said Dr. Green.
Each year a budget from the cur-
rent years tuition is given to Dr.
Green from the Provost.
This money pays summer facul-
ty salaries and non-instruction
expenses; including department
chair salaries, the cost of place-
ment tests, orientation advisor
salaries and other such expenses.
It takes seventeen to eighteen
students to pay for one class. Less
student enrollment will sometimes
be let go if another course has
extra students to make up for the
loss.
Student Senate begins
their preparations for
1999-2000 elections.

The budget is determined by
how many classes will be offered.

This is a separate budget from

The courses are compiled, then

Next, the department chair asks
faculty who would like to teach

The fourteen schools in the
Pennsylvania State System of
Higher Education raised almost
$30 million in private funds last
year. The private donors, which
includes alumni, corporations and
foundations, contributed $29.1
million to the state system in 1998.
The growth in
private support is a
strong endorsement of
the State System of

The $30 million represents a 19
percent increase over the past year.
Indiana University of
Pennsylvania raised the largest
amount of funds totaling $4.52
million in 1998.
Clarion University, along with 5
other schools, doubled their yearly
total since 1992-1993. Clarion
raised $1,685,772 last year all of
which went to the Clarion

Student Senate
Orientation session added to '99 elections
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
A new candidate orientation pro-
gram is being proposed for stu-
dents running for Student Senate
next year.
Student Relations Committee
chair Naqeeb Hussain announced
the new program during Monday
night's Student Senate meeting.
He also discussed the dates for
elections for the 1999-2000
academic year.
"We wanted to make sure that
the candidates knew exactly what
they were getting into before
going through the election
process," Hussain said. "Senators
will discuss what is expected of
them and the committees within
Senate."
Applications for Senate should
be available by the end of this
week, said Hussain. The orienta-
tion session would be held on
March 15 prior to that night's
Senate meeting.
An open forum, similar to the
one held last year, is scheduled for
March 21 in Gemmell Multi-pur-
pose room.
"We are going to work again this
year with the debate team to help
candidates to develop a platform,"
Hussain said.
Clarion students will go to the
polls to elect their 20 new
George Groff/The Clarion Call
One of the issues Student Senate will tackle for the
remainder of the year will be the election and installation
of the 1999-2000 Senators.
Senators between March 24 and
26. Hussain said that polling sta-
tions will be open longer this year
in order to accommodate more
students.
Hussain said he will be working
with legislative director Josh
Williams on coordinating the
upcoming elections.
In other news, Senate allocated
$2313 from the supplemental
account to the Terra Club for
members to take an educational
trip to the Western U.S.
The club's president, Ken
Hendrickson, said the trip would
allow Earth Science and Geology
students to go outside the class-
room and see what they are learn-
ing in class.
Senators also approved the allo-
cation of $2,776.22 from the sup-
plemental reserve account to the
Inter-Fraternity Council and the
Panhellenic Council for members
to attend a national conference.
Prior to the approval of the allo-
cations, treasurer Leslie Suhr read
the latest account totals. $111,631
eurrently sits in the capital
account, with $116,984 in the
large-item capital account.
There is $24,660 in the supple-
mental account and $34,353 in the
supplemental reserve account.
Also, Monday was Brian Sowa's
first night as a Student Senator,
after the resignation of Jamie
Fichera. Fichera withdrew from
the University, citing personal rea-
sons.
Sowa joined new Senators
Antionette Parker and Ryan Lewis
at the meeting. Parker and Lewis
were the two alternates chosen to
fill Senate spots vacated after res-
ignations by Bonny Spence and
Shannon Bean.
Parker will chair the Committee
on Rules, Regulations, and
Policies and will serve as a mem-
ber of the Executive Committee.
Lewis will be a member of the
Student Relations Committee as
well as the Committee on Rules,
Regulations and Policies.
Sowa will co-chair the Dining
Committee, and he will also sit on
the Student Facilities Committee.
Finally, the Psychobiology Club
was recognized and approved for
funding during the meeting.
Senator Josh Williams said that
the club's packet that was submit-
ted to Senate was evaluated and
the club did fit within the guide-
lines of the University.
Senate will hold their seven-
teenth meeting of the 1998-1999
academic year Monday, Feb. 22 at

The Blue system will replace the VAXB system for faculty use.
Ryan Fogle, a Computer Information Sciences major who was respon-
sible for assessing programs on VAX to locate Y2K problems, said,
"The University is doing a pretty good job."
DeMauro said students like Fogle and Julie Wilkins were a big help.
Wilkins was responsible for contacting vendors of University software
to determine what is and is not Y2K compatible.
Another possible problem area is "embedded chip" technology, which
refers to the thousands of tiny computer chips that are integral parts of
countless items used daily. DeMauro said the University is working
with the vendors of products that use "embedded chip" technology to
solve any possible problems.
In early 1998 the Y2K Committee produced an inventory for every
University office. The list includes detailed information on the Y2K
compatibility of all computer-related equipment in individual offices.
Actions are now being taken to replace or upgrade equipment.
DeMauro said that in some cases all that's left to be done is to wait for
updates from vendors.

Survey shows support fading for abortion, casual sex
by Christine Tatum
College Press Exchange
CHICAGO (CPX)— Freshmen
who entered college in 1998 are
more likely to lie in bed stroking
the keys of a laptop computer than
someone who's willing to give
them casual sex.
Or so suggests a long-standing
study of first-year college students
conducted by researchers at the
University of California at Los
Angeles. The study, considered
the nation's most comprehensive
assessment of student attitudes and
plans, surveyed more than 275,000
entering freshmen at 469 two-and
four-year schools nationwide. Its
findings represent the views of 1.6
million students who started
school last fall.
The study doesn't exactly paint a
flattering picture of the graduating
class of 2002, but it does have its
bright spots: beer drinking among
members of this underage crowd
has fallen to its lowest level in the
survey's 33 year history, (Slightly
more than half of students, 51.6
percent, say they drink beer fre-
quently or occasionally, compared
with 52.7 percent in 1997 and an
all-time high of 75.2 percent in
1981) and more students are inte-
grating computer technology with
their daily routines than ever.
But apparently, first-year stu-
dents are so disinterested in acade-
mics, government and social
activism that they're more likely to
show up late to class (an all time
high of 60.3 percent) than to keep
up with political affairs (a record
low of 25.9 percent) or participate
in community service work while
in college (18.9 percent).
Perhaps that explains the moti-
vation most students gave for even
going to college at all: a whopping
76.9 percent said they pursued
higher education "to be able to get
a better job" and "to be able to
make more money" (74.6 percent)
than "to gain a general education
and appreciation of ideas" (62 per-
cent).
"Sounds pretty accurate to me,"
said 19-year-old Jennifer Jones, a
self-described goody-two-shoes at
Indiana University who said she
studies hard for the As and Bs she
makes. "People want more things
but are less willing to work for
them because they just expect
them to happen. And a lot of peo-

pie I know are really good at fak-
ing it. If they do something, it's
because it'll pay off for them
somewhere else."
When it comes to sex, Mom and
Dad might be happy to know that
fewer first-year students want to
get it on with folks they've known
-only a short time. An all-time low
only 39.6 percent - agreed that it's
OK for people who don't know
each other very well, but like each
other an awful lot, to have sex,
compared with 42.2 percent in
1997 and 51.9 percent in 1987.
'That stat reflects an attitude that
I hope catches on in the world,"
said John Castiglione, a freshman
at the College of William & Mary.
"Nothing good - (including)
unwanted pregnancy, sexually
transmitted diseases and incredible
amounts of stress both during and
after the relationship - ever comes
out of premarital sex."
"Abortion should only be legal in
cases of incest, rape and to save a
mother's life," said Deborah
Justice, another first-year student
at the College of William & Mary.
"Abortion as a form of birth con-
trol is disgusting."
Students' views about abortion
and sex don't necessarily indicate
that they're becoming more con-
servative, researchers say. In fact,
the proportion of freshmen who
identified themselves as "conserv-
ative" or "far right" dropped 20
percent to its lowest point in 11
years. At the same time, only 24
percent called themselves "liberal"
or "far left," the smallest propor-
tion in 14 years.
Instead, students were most like-
ly to consider their political views
"middle of the road" - at a 14-year
high of 57 percent.
"Students are forming their opin-
ions on a case-by-case basis,"
Castiglione said. "The less we fol-
low the prescribed ideology of
political entities, and the more we
start following our own con-
sciences, the better off we will be."
For the first time the annual sur-
vey included questions about
Internet and e-mail use.
Among the findings:
— Four out of five students used
the Internet for research or home-
work during their last year of high
school.
— Nearly two-thirds of freshmen
communicate regularly using e-
mail.
— More than half of freshmen
reported that they chat on-line.
— Eighty percent of students said
they played computer games at
least occasionally.
— Eighty percent of freshmen at
private institutions used e-mail,
compared with 57 percent of stu-
dents at public two-year colleges
and 41 percent at historically black
colleges.

CU does its part for
Black History Month
by Kristy Mort
Clarion Call Staff Writer
February is dedicated to Black
History all around the world. Here
at Clarion University, organiza-
tions will pay tribute to those
African Americans who excelled in
their culture.
"Although Clarion University
itself focuses on Black History,
other campus organizations strong-
ly emphasize and pay tribute to the
month," said Clarion University
student Jeremy Nesmith.
A few of those organizations on
the Clarion University campus are
The Black Student Union and The
Martin Luther King Committee.
Every year the Martin Luther
King Committee decides on a
theme. The theme is meant to
focus around Dr. King. This year
The Committee decided on the
theme "The Dream 30 years later."
"I think that it is nice to celebrate
Black History for a month but I
think it should be celebrated for
365 days," replied director of
Minority Services and president of
the Martin Luther King
Committee, Rogers Laugand.

follow the same guidelines. Dr.
Green stated, "This part of the
process is totally voluntary, no one
is forced to teach summer cours-
es.
"History is a very important part
of this whole process," said
Green. "It depends on the nature
of previous enrollment and is pro-
grammatic."
As part of the evaluation
process, three previous years are
considered and used as guidelines.
Part of this evaluation is a func-
tion of the departmental needs,
and the other part depends on if
faculty wants to teach the classes.

Summer schedules are now

with an advantage. Dr. Green
said, "We are now trying to give
students a better chance to plan; I
think this will work better for
them."
Sign-ups for summer session
begins during pre -registration.
Contingency courses are avail-
able; those requiring a certain
number of students to go.
Otherwise they are canceled. If
enough students enroll, a contin-
gency course is guaranteed.
The department is trying to look
forward as much as they can to get
a schedule out for students to reg-
ister early. "I have been trying to
work with department chairs to
increase the number of guaranteed
classes so people can plan their
summers. We are also trying to
get students to look into
contingency classes early to get a
go," said Dr. Green.
Students usually know in
advance which courses will be
guaranteed and which will not.
"We try to make it as predictable

Foul-mouthed professor fights suspension
WARREN, Mich. (CPX) -
English professor John Bonnell's
way with words could cost him
his job, but he says he's going to
fight for his rights to free speech.
Administrators at Macomb
Community College warned
Bonnell to clean up his potty
mouth and imposed a three-day
suspension that will begin on
Monday. While school officials
say they won't specifically dis-
cuss Bonnell's case, they have
said that the use of four-letter
words and crude phrases in class
is considered obscene under the
college's sexual harassment pol-
icy.
Bonnell, who has taught at the
college for 32 years, received a
notice of his suspension after a
student filed a complaint in
November stating that the pro-
fessor's daily use of crude lan-
guage was "dehumanizing,
degrading and sexually explicit."
"If they (the college) don't
cease and desist, I'm history,"
Bonnell told The Detroit News.
"There's no question in my mind
•that I'll continue to use the
words. The reason is because it
is vernacular; American English.
This is the normal speech of my
clients, my students."

New student ID cards on the way for
Edinboro students, SGA says
Students at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania will soon see
some changes in their university identification cards, SGA's budget
director said at a Feb. 1 congress meeting.
The university will be changing from the current ID system to a
'One Card' system provided through Banner software, said Shari
Gould, SGA fiscal consultant.
The new ID would no longer include a student's social security
number as a means of student identification, she said. The com-
mittee dealing with his issue is currently debating over what
options should be included.
Those options may include a monetary account through the card
to pay for books, supplies and novelties at the campus bookstore,
Gould added. "The students will be able to do a lot more with his
card," said David Day, SGA president.

Slippery Rock's student government
begins a 'wet town' fight
Making Slippery Rock a "wet town" has long been an issue for
Slippery Rock University students and the Slippery Rock commu-
nity.
This issue has pitted borough residents against university stu-
dents for years.
SRU's Student Government Association now wants to see the
issue become reality during this May's primary elections scheduled
for May 18.
The twist to SGA's plan, according to Joe Weaver, SGA presi-
dent, is not to have Slippery Rock Borough be the focus of atten-
tion but to attempt to make Slippery Rock Township a "wet town-
ship".
According to Weaver, the majority of SRU students living on and
off campus reside in the township. Therefore, the only way to suc-
ceed in the referendum and to have the most students vote in the
election is to petition the township not the borough.
In order to get a "wet township" referendum on the May ballot,
170 signatures of township residents are needed on a petition for
the referendum.
The SRU campus lies in both the borough and the township with
the line running directly through Patterson Hail. This division of
the campus leaves some SRU students ineligible to vote but leaves
the majority eligible.
Anyone living on the upper part of campus-Patterson Hall,
Rhoads Hall, North Hall and Kraus Hall- resides in the borough
and will not be eligible to vote in the township referendum.

Carelessness may be to blame for dorm
fire at Millersville U.
Rules are made for a reason - usually it's for your protection.
Erin Collins learned that lesson the hard way when a couch in
her dorm room at Tanger Hall burst into flames allegedly due to a
candle at 7:39 p.m. according to Detective Conley, University
Police Department.
Collins said that she received a second-degree burn to her right
foot as she tried to stamp out the fire, and first-degree burns on her
forearms as she used her blanket to try and beat the fire out.
Afterwards, Collins said that she was taken to the infirmary for
smoke inhalation and treatment for the bums she received.

National Intercollegiate Band tryouts to be held
Clarion to host four-day band convention
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Over our first break ibis semester,
while most of us are at home relax-
ing, Clarion's two band related fra-
ternities, Tau Beta Sigma and Kappa
Kappa Psi, will be hosting a massive,
four day convention here on
Clarion's campus.
According to KK*F co-chair Derra
Gregorich and TB£ co-chair Dave
Hammond, this is the first such con-
vention to come to Clarion in more
than 25 years. About 600 people frm
the northeast region (covering Maine
to Virgina) and also from the rest of
the country will come to Clarion
March 4-7 for the convention.
On schedule for the convention are
several administrative functions.
Gregorich and Hammond were both
quick to point out that this is more a
business type meeting than a perfor-
mance.
Also slated for the convention are
the tryouts for the prestigious
National Intercollegiate Band. Most
TBI and KK*F are trying; said fresh-
men trumpeteer Laura Varuolo who
is anxious to try out
I asked Hammond, Gregorich and
a few others what their expectations
for the event were, and they all men-
tioned meeting people and improv-
ing networking skills as primary
goals. Both Gregorich and
Hammond mentioned that they also
want to put Clarion on the map as far
as TBI and KK*F are concerned.
"We definitely want to leave a last-
ing positive impression on the atten-
dees and to showcase all the posi-
tives that Clarion has to offer,"
Gregorich added.
Clarion was one of many promi-
nent schools vying for this regional
convention, beating out such nation-
ally known schcwk as Syracuse. The
proposal required to win the conven-
tion was quite extensive, featuring
some seven letters of recommenda-
tion as well as outlines of the ser-
vices, facilities and history that
Clarion has to offer. The bid propos-
al itself takes up approximately 24
pages.
On another positive note, the con-
vention will also see the largest din-
ing crowds ever housed within
Chandler hall. "As far as we know,"
said Hammond, "Chandler was built
to hold 1000 people, on both sides,
But we worked at rearranging tables
and should be able to get about 530
people on one side."

From here on let women
kill their own spiders
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist
From time to time I receive let-
ters from a certain group of indi-
viduals that I will describe, for
want of a better term, as
"women." I have such a letter
here, from a Susie Walker of
North Augusta. S.C., who asks the
following question:
"Why do men open a drawer and
say. 'Where is the spatula?'
Instead of, you know, looking for
it?"
This question expresses a com-
monly held (by women) negative
stereotype about guys of the male
gender, which is that they cannot
find things around the house,
especially things in the kitchen.
Many women believe that if you
want to hide something from a
man, all you have to do is put it in
plain sight in the refrigerator, and
he will never, ever find it, as evi-
denced by the fact that a man can
open a refrigerator containing 463
pounds of assorted meats, poultry,
cold cuts, condiments, vegetables,
frozen dinners, snack foods,
desserts, etc., and ask, with no
irony whatsoever, "Do we have
anything to eat?"
Now I COULD respond to this
stereotype in a snide manner by
making generalizations about
women. I could ask, for example,
how come your average woman
prepares for virtually every
upcoming event in her life, includ-
ing dental appointments, by buy-
ing new shoes, even if she already
owns as many pairs as the entire
Riverdance troupe.
I could point out that, if there
were no women, there would be
no such thing as Leonardo
DiCaprio. I could ask why a
woman would walk up to a per-
fectly innocent man who is mind-
ing his own business watching
basketball and demand to know if
a certain pair of pants makes her
butt look too big, and then, no
matter what he answers, get mad
at him.
I could ask why, according to
the best scientific estimates, 93
percent of the nation's severely
limited bathroom-storage space is
taken up by decades-old, mostly
empty tubes labeled "moisturiz-
er." I could point out mat, to judge
from the covers of countless
women's magazines. The two top-
ics most interesting to women are
(1) Why men are all disgusting
pigs, and (2) How to attract men.
Yes, I could raise these issues in
response to the question asked by
Susie Walker of North Augusta,
S.C., regarding the man who was
asking where the spatula was. I
could even ask WHY this particu-
lar man might be looking for the
spatula. Could it be that he needs a
spatula to kill a spider, because,
while he was innocently watching
basketball and minding his own
business, a member of another
major gender — a gender that
refuses to personally kill spiders
but wants them all dead —
DEMANDED that he kill the spi-
der, which nine times out of 10
turns out to be a male
spider that was minding its own
business?
Do you realize how many men
arrive in hospital emergency
rooms every year, sometimes still
gripping their spatulas, suffering
from painful spider-inflicted
injuries? I don't have the exact
statistics right here, but I bet they
are chilling.
As I say, I could raise these
issues and resort to the kind of
negativity indulged in by Susie
Walker of North Augusta, S.C.
But I choose not to. I choose,
instead, to address her question
seriously, in hopes that, by
improving the communication
between the genders, all human
beings — both men and women,
together — will come to a better
understanding of how dense
women can be sometimes.
I say this because there is an
excellent reason why a man would

The lead role of Jesus belongs to
a CUP theatre regular, senior
Jarrod Frye. Frye's spotlight will
be shared by Joe Gibson as Judas
Iscariot and Seana Simon as Mary
Magdelene. "The music is spec-
tacular and we are blessed with
many special voices that will do it
justice," says Michel. The ensem-

Movie Review
'Payback' seeks vengeance
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
It isn't often that a movie asks
you to root for someone who's
truly a terrible person. For
Porter, Mel Gibson's character in
the new film Payback, there are
only two types of people in this
world: those whom he can rip off
easily and those whom he'll
probably end up killing. Despite
the fact that he's the film's
"hero," Porter is completely
despicable. Payback 's premise
works mostly because all the
other characters Porter encoun-
ters are just as bad as him. In
fact, they're probably worse.
As Payback begins, we learn
that Porter, a career criminal,
was double-crossed by his wife
and best friend, who robbed him,
shot him, and left him for dead.
After recovering from his
wounds, Porter returns to seek
vengeance and recover the $70
thousand stolen from him.
Porter's quest for revenge leads
him straight into the heart of an
unforgiving city where the cops
can easily be bought out and a
crime organization known as
The Syndicate' owns all that it
surveys.
Despite the fact that the film
takes place during an unspeci-
fied time period, Payback has a
very 70's feel. The film's
washed-out gray color and retro
soundtrack look and sound cool
as ever.
Gibson, one of Hollywood's
smartest actors, is great as usual.
I can't remember the last time I
walked out of a Mel Gibson pic-
ture having felt worse for the
experience, including Lethal
Weapon 4. Fortunately, Gibson
shies away from the typical
"good looking guy" roles he
could walk through in his sleep
in exchange for offbeat films that
allow him to experiment with
difficult characters. As Porter,
Gibson might play a total scum-
bag... but he does so with style.
Kris Kristofferson and James
Coburn make the most of their
brief cameos in the film.
Although neither has significant
screen time, their brief appear-
ances are more memorable than
most of the supporting cast's
performances.
Full of gritty violence and
bizarre twists, Payback boldly
shows that Hollywood doesn't
save all of its entertaining releas-
es for the summer months.
Payback is worth checking out,
if for nothing more than a scene
early in the film where Porter,
the quintessential big-screen
scumbag, stares hard into a mir-
ror, trying to remember how to
smile. If that isn't cool, I don't
know what is.
Clarion recieves new movie theatres
Destinta Theatres
arrives in Clarion
by Steven Palmer
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Clarion will have a new and
exciting entertainment option
coming soon. Destinta Theatres
will open its door to the public on
Friday, February 26. The new the-
aters are located inside of the
Clarion mall.
The handicapped accessible the-
atre offers viewers seven large
screens and stadium seating. Each
individual theatre also has reclin-
ing seats with cup holders and
seats approximately 1,350 people.
One of the screens, and possibly
more in the future, will have
Dolby Digital Surround Sound
EX. Joe Angelotti of Destinta
Theatres tells the Call that "the
first film to take advantage of this
new technology will be the new
"Star Wars" series being released
by Lucas Film on May 21, 1999.
Destinta will offer a large selec-
tion at their snack bar. In addition
to the traditional movie theatre
popcorn and soft drinks, the snack
bar also serves hot pretzels, frap-
puchino by Starbucks coffee, bulk
candy, and icee slush refresh-
ments.
Businesses in the area of the
Clarion Mall are looking forward
to the business that the theatre will
bring to the area. "The opening of
the new theatre will bring more
people to the mall for reasons
other than shopping. I think that it
will draw a younger crowd to the
area," said Margie Halvin, manag-
er of Long John Silvers.
Ticket prices have not yet been
determined. "We are currently
looking into other area movie the-
atre prices," said Angelotti, "tick-
et prices will be very competi-
tive." Angelotti also added that
they are considering a student
pricing policy.
Afternoon movies will be avail-
able at the theatre regularly.
Destinta's first viewing will be
between noon and 12:30 p.m. The
theatre will remain open all, day
and it's last viewing will be
around 10:00 p.m. Advanced tick-
et sales will also be available.

The Golden Raspberry Awards
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Once again, as it does every
year, Hollywood is preparing
itself for a night of glitz and
glamour... a night where dreams
are realized and hopes are bro-
ken... a night where a few lucky
souls will walk away with a giant
raspberry glued onto a Super 8
film reel, content that they've
been a part of one of the worst
films ever made. In other words,
it's nearly time for the Golden
Raspberry Awards to be present-
ed.
The Golden Raspberry Awards,
or "Razzies" for short, have been
"honoring" Hollywood's worst
offerings since 1980. Originally
held in a living room alcove by
founder John Wilson, author of
the book "Everything I Know I
Learned at the Movies", the
Razzies are now presented in
Santa Monica, CAon the evening
before the Oscar ceremony. All
nominees are welcome to attend
the presentation and pick up their
"trophies," the aforementioned
giant raspberry on a golden Super
8 reel. To date, none of the
Razzie nominees have bothered
to show up.
So how did Hollywood fare this
year in the eyes of the men and
women behind the Razzies?
Worse than usual. In fact, the
Golden Raspberry Award
Foundation (or GRAF) have cre-
ated a special award for the entry
film industry, entitled "1998: The
Worst Movie-Going Year
EVER!". The nominees for this
category are Hollywood's worst
film trends, from tacky promo-
tional tie-ins to "Geezers N'
Gidgets," referring to the way
directors often pair ancient lead-
ing men with love interests
young enough to be their daugh-
ters.
The film leading the Razzie
nominations this year is the wide-
ly-panned An Alan Smithee Film:
Burn, Hollywood Burn!, which is
up for a whopping nine Razzies,
including Worst Actor (Ryan
O'Neill), Worst Director (Walter
Hiller, who later took his name
off the film), and Worst Picture.
Most insulting of all the GRAF
nominated any combination of
two actors on-camera in Burn,
Hollywood, Burn! for its Worst
On-Screen Couple category.
Strangely enough, Joe Ezterhas,
nominated for four Razzies in
connection with Burn,
Hollywood, Burn!, took out a
trade paper ad last year pledging
to attend the Razzies should his
film win. It looks like Exterhas
should free up his schedule for
the night before the Oscars,
because he's nominated in four
Razzie categories: Worst

Ezterhas will be walking away
with at least one Razzie, which
according to GRAF founder
Wilson, has an inflation-adjusted
street value of roughly $7.29.
That's not to say that every film
the Razzies "honor" is a flop.
The summer's biggest hit,
Armageddon, is up for seven
awards including Worst Picture.
In fact, the film's star, Bruce
Willis is nominated for Worst
Actor in three different movies:
Mercury Rising, The Siege, and
of course Armageddon.
Willis might have had a terrible
year in the eyes of the GRAF, but
he's got nothing on the all-time
Razzie champ, Sylvester
Stallone, who's won nine Razzies
in the last 19 years. Stallone is
up for yet another Razzie this
year, as Worst Supporting Actor
for Bum, Hollywood, Burn!.
As always, the Razzies were
determined by mail-in ballots
went by the GRAF's 465 mem-
bers, who hail from 35 states and
seven foreign nations. Unlike the
staunch Motion Picture
Academy, anyone can join the
golden Raspberry Awards
Foundation. The GRAF's mem-
bers range from journalists to
movie fans, all of whom love
saluting the worst that
Hollywood has to offer.
So, as the world eagerly antici-
pated whether Godzilla will walk
away with he Worst Picture
Razzie or if the Spice Girls will
pull an upset and collectively win
the Worst Actress award, one
burning question remains: Who
needs the Oscars when you've
got the Razzies?

Freddie Prinze Jr. breaks
out of daddy's shadow
by Ian Spelling
College Press Exchange
(CPX)- It's already begun.
Freddie Prinze, Jr., riding the
wave of the hit "I Know What
You Did Last Summer" and its
sequel, is fact becoming teen idol
material.
His latest film, "She's All That,"
which cast him as a high school
jock-brain-Romeo, will surely
increase the 22-year-old' s profile.
Just don't tell him that.
"I have no image," Prinze
insists. "That's being created by
other people, not me. It's not
what I'm about and I don't buy
into it for a second. I'm an actor.
That's what I do. I get up when
it's time to go to work, go to work
and do my thing. I don't do press
unless I've got a movie coming
out. Look for me in a magazine
when I don't have a movie com-
ing out. You won't see anything.
Not often, but a few times, people
have tried to make it like I'm a
teen idol. I have an audience that
respects me and I respect that
audience. I know they're the rea-
son I have a career and, hopeful-
ly, they know I respect them and
want to make cool movies. That's
what I'm about, and nothing
else."
Prinze stars in "She's All That"
as Zack, a high school god in his
senior year who's just been
dumped by his b***h-goddess
girlfriend (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe),
who's now dating an obnoxious
"Real World" star (Matthew
Lillard). Then there's Laney
(Rachael Leigh Cook), a senior
who's into art, who wears glasses
and ugly clothes, who's smart as a
whip but a total outsider.
Accepting a pal's bet, Zack
endeavors to transform Laney
into prom queen material and —
surprise, surprise — the two find
themselves attracted to each
other. Think "Pretty in Pink
Meets My Fair Lady."
"One of the reasons I made the
movie was that Zack was the
exact opposite of me," says
Prinze, referring to his days in an
Albuqerque, New Mexico high
school. "It was a chance for me
to experience what it was like to
be liked and popular in school. I
didn't really have any friends. I
did my own thing and people
thought I was weird because I'd
play out these fantasies in my
mind. People would stare at me
and go 'What the hell is he
doing?''"
Another reason Prinze commit-
ted to "She's All That" was the
opportunity to work with Cook.
The two met making the, black
comedy "The House of Yes," but
shared no scenes, as she played
young Parker Posey only in flash-
back sequences.
Barry I explains why men are always thinking, from Page 14.
know where the spatula is: The
man does not have TIME to look
for the spatula. Why? Because HE
IS BUSY THINKING. Men are
ALMOST ALWAYS thinking.
When you look at a man who
appears to be merely scratching
himself, rest assured that inside
his head, his brain is humming
like a high-powered computer,
processing millions of pieces of
information and producing impor-
tant insights such as, 'This feels
good!"
We should be grateful that men
think so much, because over the
years they have thought up count-
less inventions that have made life
better for all people, everywhere.
The shot clock in basketball is one
example. Another one is under-
wear eating bacteria. I found out
about this thanks to the many alert
readers who sent me an article,
from "New Scientist" magazine
stating that Russian scientists —
and you KNOW these are guy sci-
entists — are trying to solve the
problem of waste disposal aboard
spacecraft, by "designing a cock-
tail of bacteria to digest astronauts
cotton and paper underpants." Is
that great, or what? I am picturing
a Utopian future wherein, when a
man's briefs get dirty, they will
simply dissolve from his body,
thereby freeing him from the
chore of dealing with his soiled
underwear via the labor-intensive,
time-consuming method he now
uses, namely, dropping them on
the floor.
I'm not saying that guys have
solved all the world's problems.
I'm just saying that there ARE
solutions out there, and if, instead
of harping endlessly about spatu-
las, we allow guys to use their
mental talents to look for these
solutions, in time, they will find
them. Unless they are in the refrig-
erator.

Special Announcement
CALL FOR TOLERANCE
Clarion University is one of several state universities that has been informed that- its
campus may be targeted by one or several hate qroups for the distribution of hate litera-
ture on February 22, 1999. To the extent that there is no way at this time to determine
the accuracy of the information received, there is no cause to be unduly alarmed by thisin-
formation.
In keeping with past practice, however, we view this occasion as an opportune time to
reaffirm the University's commitment to the promotion of an academic community where the
freedom of expression and civility are its hallmarks. In doing so, we are also pleased to
inform you that educational programs undertaken by the Presidential Commissions and other
committed University groups have been bolstered by ongoing activities of the Clarion County
Ethnic Tolerance Coalition. Since its inception in 1996, the Clarion County Ethnic Tolerance
Coalition, which comprises members of the University and local communities, has been engaged
in several pro-active activities that are specifically designed to educate the community on
how to prevent or eliminate problems that are associated with hate crimes and hate groups
The Coalition is co-chaired by John Shropshire, Dean of Enrollment Management and Ms Carol
Lapinto, Clarion Borough Manager.
In the event that this campus is visited by hate groups, we appeal to the entire
University to resist the prejudices, bigotry, or racism that potentially could divide us
and to make every reasonable effort to carry out our daily functions with demonstrated sen-
sitivity to and respect for all people regardless of our differences. The University's com-
mitment to freedom of speech is notwithstanding, it should also be noted that there are some
types of activities that are not protected under the First Amendment. These include, unlaw-
ful activity under local, state, or federal laws; activity that endangers or imminently
threatens to endanger the safety of any members of the University community, or any activ-
ity that disrupts or imminently jh threatens to disrupt or obstruct the functions of the
University.
We thank you for your cooperation in this matter, and please do not hesitate to contact
the Office of Social Equity at 226-2109 should you need additional information.

The Eagles needed strong three-
point shooting and overtime to
pull out a win against PSAC

rebounds. Dave Freeman paced

throughout the second half.
The Eagles' lead faded in the last
two minutes. Slippery Rock
pulled ahead 65-63 with :48 left
in regulation. Lormont Sharp's
two free throws with :38 on the
clock would send the game into
overtime. SRU kept overtime
close, but the Eagles pulled away
in the last minute, on the strength
of a three-pointer and two free
throws by Sharp. SRU fell to 7-

Captains Angle and

Business Manager
On Friday, February 5, the Golden
Eagles traveled to Lock Haven
University. Clarion lost a tough
26-12 meet to the Bald Eagles of
Lock Haven.
Co-captains Mark Angle and
Jason Moaney contributed to a
pair of Clarion wins by decision,
while Stan Spoor received a for-
feit at 149 pounds for the Golden
Eagles. Jason Moaney won a
breath-taking 8-7 decision over
Dave Surovec at 174 pounds.
The first period erupted with an
early takedown from Surovec, in
which Moaney would escape
from and score a take down. With
40 seconds left in the first period,
Surovec scored a reversal to lead
the period 4-3. The second period
was tied 4-4 when Moaney was
awarded a penalty point. The
third period would mimic the first
period in excitement with Surovec
taking an early escape from the
down position.
Moaney quickly answered by
scoring a takedown off Surovec's
escape.

What do you think
about Lawarence Taylor
getting inducted into the
Hall of Fame? Check
out the sports comer on

A determined Surovec escapes
Moaney to tie the score at 6-6. In
the fleeting three seconds of the
match Moaney seals a victory
with a final takedown. Although
Surovec was awarded one point
for riding time at the end of the
match, Moaney won by an 8-7
margin.
Mark Angle, ranked number one
in the nation, continues his win-
ning ways with an 8-2 decision
over Scott Bair at 141 pounds. In
the first period, Angle took an
early 4-1 lead with a pair of take-
downs. Angle scored an escape
and a takedown to secure his lead
7-1. Blair scored an escape in the
third period, but Angle shut him
down and was awarded a point for
riding time to win an 8-2
decision. Major decisions from
Trap McCormack at 125 pounds
and Dave Murray at 184 pounds,
plus a forfeit to Terry Showalter at
133 gave Lock Haven a 26-12
victory. The Golden Eagles are 3-
10-1 overall, while Lock Haven
advances to 8-8 overall. The
Golden Eagles will travel to
Memorial on Friday, February 20
to wrestle Virginia.
Valparaiso
wants NCAA to
reconsider
Basketball
ruling
by College Press Exchange
VALPARAISO, Ind. (CPX)-
Valparaiso has asked the NCAA
to reconsider its decision to bar
starting center Zoran Viskovic
from playing on the university's
basketball team.
The school suspended the 6-
foot-11 center from its men's
team last week after learning that
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association was investigating his
eligibility as a transfer student.
Viskovic, a native of Croatia,
attended Northeast Community
College in Norfolk, Nebraska.
The school counted previous
work he had completed at anoth-
er community college in
Michigan toward the associate's
degree he earned there. But
about two weeks ago, the NCAA
ruled that due to the Michigan
work having been completed dur-
ing a summer session, Viskovic
could not count it toward a
required three-semester enroll-
ment in community college.
Valparaiso President Alan Harre
has said that additional facts were
not available to the NCAA when
it made its ruling.
"Neither the student-athlete nor
the university has done anything
wrong," he said. Before his sus-
pension, Viskovic was in his third
season as a regular at Valparaiso.
He is the only returning starter
from last year's team, which
reached the semifinals of last
year's NCAA tournament.
Viskovic, who is expected to
graduate this spring, holds the
school record for blocked shots in
a caree,r and has averaged 9.8
points and 6.9 rebounds in 16
games this season.

SPORTS CORNER
This week
Track and Field compete in
11th annual Winter Classic
Do you feel that they should have let Lawrenance Taylor
In the Hall of Fame?
Bob Petty-No. Who would want their kids to visit the Hall of Fame and have
jhim as a role model?
jTom Casey-i strongly believe that Taylor has every right to be in the Hall of
[Fame. He redefined the outside linebacker position with speed, agility, and a
(ferocious attitude. Years from now people will not remember L.T as "that crack
addict," but as one of the most dominate linebackers of his time.
jKelly Palma--I do not believe he should be given any honors if he was involved
fin any illegal activities. No, he is a hog!
(John Spinda-Definitely. He was one of the game's best players and a great on
meld personality, even if he can't straighten out his personal life.
Jeff Say--No. Any football player or "positive" role model who has his problems
shouldn't be allowed in until he proves he has cleaned up his act.

Winter Track and Field Classic.
The majority of the team,
however, attended the Slippery
Rock Open Indoor meet. Amidst
the elite competition at Bucknell
University, Clarion certainly left
their mark. On the men's side,
Kervin Charles placed in the 55M
high hurdles and the 55M dash.
In the field events, Ken Nickson
hurled the shot put far enough to
earn sixth place.
The women's highlights from
Bucknell included a wider range
of events. Running on the track
were Torri Watt (55M and
1000M), Maureen Long (Mile),
and Kelly Null (2000M). Heidi
Shellgren and Kara Emrick's shot
put throws also contributed to the
overall effort of the team.
At Slippery Rock, the Eagles
competed in nearly all the events.
A few performances that stood out
for the men were Justin Wise
(pole vault), Gregg Wade (shot
put, 55M hurdles, 440 yard dash),
Ed Jablonski (long and triple
jump), and Jason Tubbs (55M
hurdles, 220 yard dash). On the
women's side, Lisa Hemrick's
pole vault earned first as well as
Kim Pelligrino's long and triple
jumps. Jackie Wolbert was
Clarion's top sprinter in the 220
yard dash, and Cheryl Sorice
placed in the 440 yard dash. Next
weekend, the Track and Field
team will not be
competing.
However, they will be traveling
to Slipper)' Rock the following
weekend to compete in the
Slippery Rock Relays.

A blast from the past
with the Recreational
Outdoor Club
by Recreational Outdoor
Club
Through the years, members of
the Recreational Outdoors Club
have put themselves to the test
while participating in different
activities. Rock climbing, back
packing, skiing, and caving are
among the most challenging
events, but there is also hiking,
canoeing, and camping planned
every semester.
A popular quote among club
members is "There is no T in
team," which is true when trying
to accomplish a goal in these type
of activities. One must also have
endurance and strength to accom-
pany a positive mental attitude,
which are all built up by being
more active in planned activities.
Michelle Brodmerkel and Steve
Brian, who have both been in the
club for six semesters, recall a ski-
ing trip to Stowe, Vermont, as
their favorite and most memo-
rable. Steve liked that it was
longer than the average weekend
trip (it was over winter break) and
the ski conditions were excellent.
Michelle stated, "I enjoyed a hike
with the most amazing view I had
ever seen at the summit. The ski-
ing wasn't bad either."
Mike Buric has been a fellow
outdoor enthusiast or the past four
semesters. He reminisces on a
trip to Dolly Sods, W. Va., as
being a great adventure. "Even
though I wasn't prepared for the
extremely snowy weather, I was
able to stick it out with the help of
everyone else." In those types of
conditions, positive mental atti-
tude is definitely necessity.
New River Gorge, W. Va., is a
popular rock climbing destination
for this club. Amanda Krugh, a
member for three semesters,
found a sense of confidence in
herself after reaching the top of a
tough climb. "It's not everyday I
had the chance to go
climbing-until I found the club
and people who are always ready
to go."
Despite the fact she hit every
rock along the way, Carrie
Leanord had a great time on her
first canoe trip, which was 20
miles and two days long. "I knew
R.O.C. was the club for me when
they invited me along even before
I was in."
Even after times of being lost,
rained on, or just cold and tired,
all of the dedicated members
seem to have positive feedback on
their past trips and experiences.
Though every member is at a
different level of experience in
these types of activities, their love
for the outdoors and thirst for
adventure is what keeps this club
alive.
6 weeks in the Great Plains
Paul Yeaconis/The Clarion Call
A stop in front of the Teton
by Paul Yesconis
Geology/Geography major
Being a senior with a geology
and geography major, I decided
to spend the first six weeks of
my summer on a geology field
camp. Most field camps are six
to eight weeks in length and can
take you any where in there
world.
The main focus of field camps is
to allow you to get the hands on
experience that you would only
see in text books. Also, they
vary depending on each
University. Lehigh University,
the school I did my field camp
out of, offered a six week pro-
gram with camping the entire
time. Also, Lehigh offered a
wide variety of landscapes from
South Dakota through Wyoming
and in to Idaho.
Our first stop on our field
camp was in South Dakota at the
Badlands National Park. The
Badlands receives its name from
its harsh erosional landscape.
The Badlands formed due to very
soft siltstone, lack of vegetation,
and torrential rains that form flat
topped mountains and hills with
steep slopes. The tops of these
mountains and hills are capped
with a more resistant rock that
does not erode as easily.
The second and most impressive
stop was the Grand Teton
Mountain range in mid-july.
National Park. We stayed in the
Teton National Park for 12 days,
' mapping a three by five mile
area.
The Teton Range is the jewel of
Wyoming. The Teton mountains
are a relative small mountain
range, about 40 miles long and
by 15 miles wide.
The steep rise above the valley
floor and rugged appearance,
carved by glaciers thousands of
years ago, make the Tetons one
of the most spectacular ranges in
North America.
The third stop we made was in
Pinedale, Wyoming were we
camped at Fremont Lake.

Student Presidents concerned with Ridge budget
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
HARRISBURG— The Board of
Student Government Presidents
(BSGP) was asked to take an
active role in increasing the State
System's 1999-2000 state appro-
priation.
We have to be
proactive and come up
with an advocacy... We
have an opportunity to
improve our lot. 99
-Dr. Edward Nolan
Vice-Chancellor for
System Relations
At their meeting Feb. 20, Dr.
Edward Nolan, vice chancellor for
system relations, told the 14 pres-
idents that Governor Tom Ridge's
proposed appropriation to the
System was lower than anticipat-
ed, but there is time to try and
State System of Higher Education
The System Works for Pennsylvania
increase it. .
Nolan suggested that students at
all 14 State System institutions be
active on their campuses and
make their parents active in call-
ing state legislators or sending let-
ters encouraging them to increase
the appropriation.
"We have to be proactive and
come up with an advocacy plan,"
he said. "We have an opportunity
to improve our lot."
Lock Haven University student
government president Luke
Lorenz made a suggestion that
BSGP do their part in the budget
effort by drafting a letter or reso-
lution that would be sent to state
legislators asking for their support
of the State System. Lorenz's
suggestion stayed just that
because no formal action was
taken on the topic.
Issue of the Year
Prior to the meeting, a discus-
sion was held concerning BSGP's
Issue of the Year, "Civility With
Diversity." Student leaders from
Kutztown University addressed
the group and elaborated on a
Code of Civility which was adopt-
ed in 1998. BSGP chairperson
Zachary Cattell suggested that the
Board adopt the code for all of the
State System schools, but his sug-
gestion was met with concern by
other student leaders.
Another suggestion for the
Board was to have a statewide
Civility Day where student gov-
ernment officials and students
involved in other community
groups could explain what a code
of civility would be for students at
their respective school.
Other ideas were trying to inves-
tigate ways of incorporating more
culturally diverse classes into cur-
riculum, or offering more forums
for students to understand and
appreciate diversity.
When these suggestions were
discussed during the business
meeting, it was decided that no
formal action would be taken by
the Board on the issue. However,
a conference call with all 14
BSGP members will take place
this week so that they can further
discuss the next steps in moving
the issue forward.
Cattell noted that BSGP would
like to have some discussion with
the presidents of all 14 universi-
ties when they have a meeting in
late March.

John S. Brown, 22, of Fourth Ave., has received additional drug
charges. Brown allegedly sold 3.3 grams of cocaine to another stu-
dent in a residence hall on November 21, 1997.
The student was Dawn Bonaquist, who paid Brown $250 for the
cocaine. Bonaquist was charged last May with selling the cocaine to
an undercover agent the same day as the purchase from Brown. She
pleaded guilty to unlawful delivery and was placed on probation in
december.
The Clarion Call reported on January 28 that Brown was
charged with possession, unlawful delivery, possession with intent to
deliver, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Brown allegedly sold
cocaine twice on Main Street, Clarion, totaling 17.2 grams which
reaped $1,025 for Brown. These transactions accured on May 7 and
12.
Brown now awaits a preliminary hearing on March 9 at the Clarion
County Court House.

highest number of scholar

1998," Reinhard said. "Clarion
should be very proud of its
accomplishments." This years
new award, 'Faculty Member of
the Year', was presented to Dr.
Mary Ann McLaughlin, a
professor in the College of
Education. Kristie Runk, a
member of the women's cross
country team and treasurer of the
Student Athletic Advisory
Council, presented the first time
award to her. Dr. McLaughlin has
been teaching for 34 years; 17 of
those were spent at Clarion. "My
life is my students and my job,"
McLaughlin said.
According to Jesse Shirey, Vice
President of SAAC, (Student
Athletic Advisory Council) and
member of the wrestling team,
McLaughlin was selected based
on the number of people who
asked her to attend the banquet as
a guest, prior to and including this
year. "It was a tight race between
candidates." Shirey added.
McLaughlin said, "It's always
been special to attend the
banquet with students, but this
year it had extra meaning."
Runk said that there will be
limits on the award in future
years. She said, "McLaughlin
was very deserving of the award
because she makes herself

relate to her." Dr. McLaughlin
said, "It's about the most exciting
thing that ever happened to me,
next to being married."
The professor that Runk took
was Dr. Linda Turner from the
Special Education department,
where she is a Elementary
Education and Special Education
major. "I took Dr. Turner because
she has been there for me through
all of my years and I can really
count on her, "she added.
Next year the award will be pre-
sented differently. Each sport will
vote on a candidate that they will
like to nominate as a team. There
will be a ballot with all of the
favorites and then voted on.
"I think that the banquet was a
great success. There was good
attendance and the students and
faculty seemed to enjoy
themselves," Shirey said.
The number of students who
attended the banquet also
represented about 30 percent of
all Clarion athletes. "GPA's were

All of these places are very beau-

If you plan on pursuing a major

'The first draft of Clarion University history.
VOLUME 82, ISi
Student Presidents concerned with Ridge budget
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
HARRISBURG— The Board of
Student Government Presidents
(BSGP) was asked to take an
active role in increasing the State
System's 1999-2000 state appro-
priation.
We have to be
proactive and come up
with an advocacy... We
have an opportunity to
improve our lot. 9$
-Dr. Edward Nolan
Vice-Chancellor for
System Relations
At their meeting Feb. 20, Dr.
Edward Nolan, vice chancellor for
system relations, told the 14 pres-
idents that Governor Tom Ridge's
proposed appropriation to the
System was lower than anticipat-
ed, but there is time to try and
State System of Higher Education
The System Works for Pennsylvania
increase it.
Nolan suggested that students at
all 14 State System institutions be
active on their campuses and
make their parents active in call-
ing state legislators or sending let-
ters encouraging them to increase
the appropriation.
"We have to be proactive and
come up with an advocacy plan,"
he said. "We have an opportunity
to improve our lot."
Lock Haven University student
government president Luke
Lorenz made a suggestion that
BSGP do their part in the budget
effort by drafting a letter or reso-
lution that would be sent to state
legislators asking for their support
of the State System. Lorenz's
suggestion stayed just that
because no formal action was
taken on the topic.
Issue of the Year
Prior to the meeting, a discus-
sion was held concerning BSGP's
Issue of the Year, "Civility With
Diversity." Student leaders from
Kutztown University addressed
the group and elaborated on a
Code of Civility which was adopt-
ed in 1998. BSGP chairperson
Zachary Cattell suggested that the
Board adopt the code for all of the
State System schools, but his sug-
gestion was met with concern by
other student leaders.
Another suggestion for the
Board was to have a statewide
Civility Day where student gov-
ernment officials and students
involved in other community
groups could explain what a code
of civility would be for students at
their respective school.
Other ideas were trying to inves-
tigate ways of incorporating more
culturally diverse classes into cur-
riculum, or offering more forums
for students to understand and
appreciate diversity.
When these suggestions were
discussed during the business
meeting, it was decided that no
formal action would be taken by
the Board on the issue. However,
a conference call with all 14
BSGP members will take place
this week so that they can further
discuss the next steps in moving
the issue forward.
Cattell noted that BSGP would
like to have some discussion with
the presidents of all 14 universi-
ties when they have a meeting in
late March.

Welcome Destinta,
movie's first class
Out with the old and in with the new.. .as Destinta
Theatres prepare to open to the community on Friday,
February 26. This new wave of technology offers
Clarion the chance to open a market that has been
established in Pittsburgh, Erie, and Philadelphia for
many years.
Congratualations and good luck to the new Destinta
Theatres that are opening in the Clarion Mall. Seven
auditoriums featuring digital stereo sound and Dolby
surround sound, computerized advance ticket sales,
and innovative" all staduim seating with high back
recliner seats will be features of the new theateres.
Will Destinta be able to target students since they
are located at the Clarion Mall which is a few steps
too many for walking. Maybe students will be able to
have some type of shuttle service available in conjuc-
tion with the University.
What about free movie night sponsored by UAB
that students took advantage of many times through-
out the semester at the Orpheum and Garby Theaters?
Maybe Destinta could provide the University studens
with some sort of students read with a validated I.D.
Finally, what exactly will become of the theaters on
Main Street? The under-21 dance club wasn't a suc-
cess, so what would be a desirable additon to down-
town Clarion? As Clarion becomes more updated, the
expansion seems to be occuring further from the
University. Therefore, the community and the
University, together should work to determin what
might be suitable for everyone.
If you have suggestions for the Orpheum theater,
email us at CALL@CLARION.EDU or drop your
ideas off at our office at 270 Gemmell Student
Complex.
Your Views
Mother of former 'Sequelle'
editor sheds a personal light
To the Editor,
Due to the fact that my daughter has started work-
ing for The Clarion Call this semester, I have had
the honor of receiving the last two editions of your
newspaper. I have read the articles regarding the
'Sequelle* and to be truthful it is getting way old?
I can understand that people are upset that they
haven't gotten last year's yearbook yet. Do you have
any clue as to why it has taken this long? I feel you
should stop being accusatory toward this year's
'Sequelle' staff, and realize that it was last year's
'Sequelle' staff that had the problem.
At the end of the Spring semester last year, my
daughter, got the entire mess dumped in her lap
because people didn't do what they had said they
would do or they bailed out at the last minute. Trying
to get a hold of an advisor wasn't the easiest thing to
do either. She has worked on last year's book by her-
self since then. Not only did we have to haul her per-
sonal belongings home for the summer, we had to drag
the 'Sequelle' stuff home, as well. How much work
did your staff haul for The Clarion Call last sum-
mer?
yes, it has taken this long to get the book out. As
far as I'm concerned you are lucky there will be a
1998 yearbook. If it wasn't for the commitment and
hard work of my daughter there wouldn't be one.
At the end of the Spring semester
last year, my daughter got the entire
mess dumped in her lap... 99
-Karen S. Spangler
Let's see one person from The Clarion Call take
on the responsibilities of getting the newspaper out
and see how long it takes them to complete the job.
instead of pulling punches, I think it's time some-
one looked at my daughter and said, "Thank you for
your time and commitment, Courtney."
If you can't do it, I will, "thank you Courtney for
being such a great daughter, who takes on a task and
doesn't quit until it is finished." If more of you were
like my daughter, last year's 'Sequelle would have
been out by now.
Karen S. Spangler

final response to this issue and decides

ments about the 'Sequelle.' See Page 4.

if We must remember tlwt
our elder have paved the
wayforus."
Danielle Riggs
There are may changes that
often occur with aging. These
changes many include: slowed
reactions and or movements;
reduced sensitivity in, or loss of,
sensory perceptions (hearing,
sight, smell, etc); cognitive
changes (changes or deterioration
of mental functioning); even
Alzheimer's disease. These
changes are not the fault of the
victim, and more often than not,
are not serious enough to interfere
with the person's ability to enjoy
an active, independent life. It is
our perception and our ignorance
that interferes with this ability. I
also believe that in this youth-ori-
ented society, fear of aging con-
tributes to the diminishing respect
of our elders. We see these older
people and we look into the faces
of our fears.
My close friend had an aunt who
was diagnosed with an extreme
case of Alzheimer's disease. This
is a disorder common in the late
adulthood, characterized by pro-
gressive loss in memory and cog-
nition and changes in personality
caused by a deterioration of the
brain's structure. Frustrated with
the responsibility of caring for
this aunt, some family members
began treating her badly. They
would yell at her when she didn't
understand their comments and
would leave her in her room when
she would 'misbehave.' Although
it is understood that the effects of
Alzheimer's can create tension in
an entire family, we must remem-
ber that the person with the dis-
ease is still a family, we must
remember that the person with the
disease is still a family member
and should not be tossed away
when we feel the need. It is nec-
essary to understand that we
should see them as valued persons
in our lives and in most cases,
they still have much to offer.
My friend's aunt returned to a
child-like state because of her dis-
ease. She often didn't recognize
her family members and forgot
where she lived. Many others
who suffer from this and related
illnesses, forget how to do basic
chores such as washing or dress-
ing themselves. They often lose
their motor skills and can't always
communicate as well as they used
to. They become like children
again. Do we toss away our
young children if they have not
yet learned these skills?
No, we do not.
If that child could so easily and
heartlessly treat an ordinary older
lady like that, it hurts to imagine
how he or anyone of us for that
matter would react to an elderly
person suffering from an illness
like Alzheimer's.
We must remember that our
elders have paved the way for us.
Whether they have made the
headlines they are members of
our family. If when they suffer
from a disease that they can not
control; or if they are just the
elderly lady crossing the street,
they have earned the right to all of
our respect.
Think about it.
We, too must become an elder
one day.

Editorial
"/ had to reprioritize
what was important
tome"
Leslie Suhr, Managing Editor
I have been at Clarion for four
years and have always been
involved in many activities on
campus. I have always had done
tasks that were aimed at pleasing
everybody most of the time. But,
I have learned that there is no way
that you will get 100% support
from the decisions that you make.
As I look back, I ponder some
of the decisions I have made, and
others that I didn't. Some
chances that I let pass me by,
while others I grabbed faster than
my head could spin.
Then there are the times that I
wish I could just sit back and go
ah... and I wonder where the years
went. It seems like I just graduat-
ed from high school.
It's been a long time since I
could skip class, sleep-in until
noon on Saturdays, and plan my
weekend on Monday afternoon.
There seems to be so many events
that I seem to be missing out on
as a typical college student.
When I first came to Clarion, I
had no idea what Clarion could
offer me outside the classroom.
But, by my sophomore year, I was
involved in many activities and
juggling schedules with 18 credits
between two majors, and holding
a job.
Those were some of the first
hard knocks that I encountered as
a student and a student leader. It
also took me awhile to realize that
I was neglecting my friends, my
now ex-boyfriend, and my family.
I had to re prioritize what was
important to me.
But, from it all, I gained a clos-
er friendship and understanding
from my twin sister with whom I
had never had much in common
with befoie.%
Then came the times that I had
to make decisions that tore me
between a job and doing some-
thing I didn't necessarily approve
of because of the position that I
held.

Public Safety is on a parking
ticket frenzy, lay off
Dear Editor,
66
...I have to wonder
how many employees
get tickets when they
deserve them? My
guess is slim to
none. 99
-Kristen Davis
Not to beat a dead horse or anything,
but I find Public Safety extremely
annoying when it comes to parking
tickets. Would you please give it up
already?
I realize that people should know
when and where not park. However,
if there are 24 spots open in the
'employer' parking lots, does it really
eat at you that badly that you have to
give me a ticket for not putting my
quarter in the meter, you might want to
exert the extra effort and unjam the
meter (which is why I didn't put my
quarter in it in the first place).
Just out of curiosity, I have to won-
der how many employees get tickets
when they deserve them? My guess is
slim to none.
Sincerely,
Kristen Davis
More alternatives offered
for the 'Sequelle's future
As a member of the Call
executive board and Student
Senate, I have seen many of dis-
turbing things occurring on cam-
pus, and within many organiza-
tions that seem to be tearing
apart the student body as a
whole.
The students are divided
among issues that will be affect-
ing the University.
The issue of the Sequelle
seems to be coming under scruti-
ny by many people. First, I was
disturbed in last week's editorial
when Dawn Schirf alluded that
the Call was making a war with
the Sequelle. The Call was
merely expressing it's voice on
behalf of the student body. Let
me say: there is no war.
Secondly, the Call only com-
pared the yearbook to Harvard
and Oberlin because -Mr.
Haskins did so in hid editorial to
the' Call on 2/10/99.
Otherwise, the Call would
never have made such compar-
isons. We are well aware of the
type of institutions that Oberlin
and Harvard are in University
standards.
Next, is the issue of selling
ads. The Sequelle is not permit-
ted to sell ads because the quali-
ty of the yearbook is lc circu-
lation is not guarantee and the
date of issuance is no redeter-
mined. Sure, the Ca t sells ads
because they meet 11 of the
above criteria.
Additionally, t Call has
many people who work to sup-
port and create the paper. With a
lack of student interest, the
Sequelle is severely understaffed
and has an extra hard workload
for completing the yearbook.
As for CD ROM or video year-
book, many schools have elimi-
nated the paper yearbook in lieu
of a video yearbook.
One state system school is
looking into the students produc-
ing a video for internship cred-
its. Several companies have said
that the CD ROM is the wave of
the future.
So, the students do have many-
of valid complaints.
Also, recently the student gov-
ernment has come under scruti-
ny with some of the decisions it
has made. High turnover rate
has made it difficult to train and
help student leaders. There are
only 20 student Senators trying
to fill the shoes of 5,500 students
with the decisions that we make.
Without more support and
interest form the student body, it
will be more difficult to serve
the student body and make deci-
sions that all will be happy to
support.
There is also the issue of stu-
dent involvement. There are
more than 80 campus organiza-
tions, athletics, and clubs that
students can be a part of and yet
only a certain number of stu-
dents take advantage of the
opportunities at Clarion.
See next column
A conclusion to the
* Sequelle' editorial saga
Over the past four weeks The Clarion Call and the 'Sequelle'
staffs along with friends and family members with a vested interest
have expressed their opinions on the condition of the 'Sequelle.'
The fact remains that the 'Sequelle' does have weaknesses, both
financial and in the book's production. This point has been made.
Several people need to understand that by pointing out the
'Sequelle's' weaknesses we are not claiming that The Call is without
flaw. Point made.
Mrs. Spangler, I do admire your daughter's hard work - she should
be admired and I do. One person can not be completely responsible
for the 'Sequelle's' problems.
The biggest problem which derives from the other weakness of the
book is its late arrival. I understand meeting deadlines, both in news-
paper and yearbook, I was the editor of my high school's book.
The problems of the past are in the past. Yes, they affect the pre-
sent but there isn't a need to dwell on them. I feel that yearbooks are
a neccesity, they are a record of a small society's history.; No matter
what form they are published in. If the form of the yearbook changes
in the future to a electronic form, that would also be a sign of the time
when it was formed. Yearbooks have been in the print form for the
past 90 or so years because print was the only feasible option possi-
ble.
Good luck to the 'Sequelle' staff and Student Senate in finding the
best format for the Clarion University yearbook for the students and
for history.
On that piece of advice I will bring this response to a conclusion.
This will also conclude all publication of editorials concerning the
'Sequelle.' If anyone would like to offer suggestions or criticism to
either organization, The Call included, deliver them in person.
SUHRI A world outside of
the classroom Page 3.
Now, I aim for goals that please
me. Since you can't please
everybody all of the time, I fig-
ured I might as well do things to
please me.
But, do I regret any of it? No,
but sometimes, I like to sit back
and look at all of the people
around me who are taking three
hour naps and going to happy
hour every Friday afternoon.
But, I do realize that what I have
done will get me farther than I
could have imagined when I first
came to college.
Finally, although I am not grad-
uating this semester may of my
close friends are so I am going to
take the opportunity to wish good
luck to a few of them.
First, Tammi you have been a
great friend. Thanks for every-
thing. ..I've learned a lot from
you. Mike and Steve, I still have
the pictures for blackmail! You
guys are the best! Dawn and
Eric, although I don't see you
much, good luckMn graduate
school. Trish, your advice is
always welcomed!
And to those of you with anoth-
er year with me... good luck!
Tyler and Becky, you guys mean
a lot to me! Thanks for helping
me through a rough semester!
Danielle, you always are the
best! Jackie, looking forward to
the next year! Jeff, can't wait for
the "date!" Oddis, I have known
you for many years and it has
been great! Liza, you are the
best! Maria, see you in the sum-
mer! Sean M., I miss hanging
our like we used to!
To anyone I didn't mention, I
only have so much space. You
aren't forgotten, you have all
taught me mant about myself and
about each other. Thanks!
Finally, there is much concern
that hate groups will target
Clarion University, this week
and in future weeks to come.
Students at Clarion University
need to stand by and support
one another against such dis-
grace. Clarion is a diverse uni-
versity that needs to be proud of
the people it represents and
things that Clarion accomplish-
es. If we look at ourselves from
the inside, Clarion can beat
these outside forces.
Sincerely,
Leslie Suhr

Student Senate may delay

Senate may postpone their elec-
tions for the 1999-2000 academic
year by one week.
During their meeting Monday
night, Naqeeb Hussain, chair of
the Student Relations Committee,
said that under the current plan,
students would have only 5 days
after returning from Winter
Holiday to make as a decision as
to their candidacy.
Another concern about this
year's elections is the proposed
selection of just one polling place
for the duration of the elections.
Hussain said that the committee
decided to set up their polling sta-
tion in the lobby of Carlson
Library for three days, rather than
move it from there to Chandler
Dining Hall and Gemmell Student
Complex as done in years past.
Several Senators wondered why
Gemmell was not chosen as a
more central location to get more
students to vote. Hussain said
final decisions about the 1999-
2000 elections will be made this
week.

Changes made to Fall 1999 cheeksheets
by Angela Everly
Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor
Faculty Senate approved the rec-
ommendation that the quantitative
reasoning requirement be
removed from the left side of the
checksheet at their meeting Feb.
22.
According to the proposal from
General Education Committee
and the Committee on Courses
and Programs of Study (CCPS),
courses currently classified under
the Quantitative Reasoning com-
ponent will automatically receive
a Q flag. This proposal was
approved by Faculty Senate and
will go into effect during Fall
1999. Discussions will continue
on this proposal at the next meet-
ing because of the potential prob-
lem of grandfathering.
Grandfathering applies to past stu-
dents and whether or not they will
also get the Q flag for taking a
quantitative reasoning class.
In other CCPS news, Dr.
Elizabeth MacDaniel, CCPS
chair, said that hearings for new
course proposals are March 19.

Y2K forces changes
to registration for
Summer, Fall 1999
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
Changes to the telephone regis-
tration system have forced the
Office of the Registrar to push
registration ahead one month.
Early registration for the 1999
summer and fall terms will begin
on Wed., March 10 instead of
Monday, April 12 as originally
scheduled.
According to J. Douglas Bills,
Registrar, the TelReg system is
being updated in order to comply
with Year 2000 regulations. The
system will be off-line from April
1-16, forcing the change in regis-
tration dates.
"The new system will be more
user-friendly and will have some
new features," Bills said.
"Students will be able to register
for classes for multiple terms in
the same call and there will no
longer be a need for an action
code."
While the new system is being
installed, the Registrar's office
will not be able to process changes
of major, grade changes or gradu-
ation applications. "It's very
important for students to take care
of these before March 31," Bills
said.
TelReg will stop on March 31
and resume on April 19. Copies of
the fall 1999 schedule will be
available beginning March 8.
Bills said course listings will be
posted on the Web and
CourseView by the end of this
week.
Prior to early registration, Bills
suggests that students use TelReg
to determine if they have any hold
flags placed on their ability to
schedule. "If students don't com-
plete and return a Personal Data
Form (PDF) to my office, a hold is
placed," Bills said. Flags can be
placed on new students because
the University has not received
their high school transcripts, and
also if students owe money to the
University business office.
Students will be able
to register for multiple
terms in the same call
and there will no longer
be a need for an action
code. 99
-J. Douglas Bills,
Registrar
"It's better for students to take
care of this now," he noted.
Bills also emphasized the impor-
tance for students to meet with
their advisor. "They need to know
their degree requirements, major
requirements and academic stan-
dards," he said.
Also, the new computerized
degree auditing system has been
implemented to better assist stu-
dents in choosing the courses that
they most need. "Audits are sent
to advisors and the student and the
advisor review it," Bills said.
"The audits show what courses the
student has taken, the require-
ments for their program of study
and what courses are still needed."
Bills said he is hopeful that the
transition to the new registration
system will be a smooth one, and
that students should take care of
any business involving the
Registrar's office before March 31
and after April 19.

New center opens for Undecided students
by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor
The new Undeclared Advising
Services Center, (U-ASC), spon-
sored through Advising Services,
opened its doors last fall to new
undecided freshman majors.
About 500 students actively took
part in the program.
Advising Coordinator Dr. Donna
Poljanec splits her time between
advising and teaching in the
Education Department. Twenty
volunteer faculty members from
many different department on
campus, help advise incoming
students as to what they want to
declare their major to be.
The program was set up as a test
site through a grant funded
through the State System of
Higher Education. Next year it
will receive the same funding
because of the success of the pro-
gram.
"It is so important that students
know that there are offices avail-
able to help them when they are
overwhelmed and frustrated.
There are offices where people
are concerned and will help,"
Poljanec said.
The program has shown a high
degree of success. The faculty
track the retention of undeclared
students. They evaluate several of
the on campus career counseling
programs that offer academic sup-
port Also, the program as a
whole is based on student evalua-
tions.
Kay King, a counselor in the
Department of Counseling at
Clarion and Venango campuses,
volunteer her time advising unde-
clared students.
"I communicate with my stu-
dents face-to-face and via e-mail
to talk about their majors and the
structure of their class choices.
We help them to decide what
classes will be of value and inter-
est to them," King said.
Advising Services keeps files on
all of the undeclared majors and
uses them as referrals. Check
sheets from all majors are kept on
file at the office. Students have
access to a computer with pam-
phlets about specific majors and
what career choices students can
make as majors.
"The group as a whole meets
once a month to discuss ideas on
how to problem solve, how to bet-
ter help undeclared students, and
provide an outreach to more stu-
dents campus wide," King added.
Connie Laughlin, Director of
Career Services, said that here is a
"Major Decisions" series that stu-
dent s may participate in that goes
hand in hand with the U-ASC pro-
gram. The program offers seven
workshops on developing a career
major. Building a portfolio,
exploring careers, and learning
outside of the classroom are a few
topics discussed a the workshop
sessions.
"The program as a whole looks
at what students can and can't do
within a major and designs cours-
es to meet certain competencies,"
Poljanec said.
Counseling Services also offers
personal counseling separate from
U-ASC. There is a computerized
Discovery system that allows the
student to search for interest areas
as to finding major interests.

SCHEDULE! Installation of newTelReg system pushes
early registration up one month, from Page 7.
The current telephone registra-
tion system was implemented in
1992 and there are 16 lines avail-
able at any given time. "The
lines are separate and there is no
competition with other
University lines," Bills said.
Determining which students
schedule when is primarily based
on the number of credits a student
has, then the alphabet. 50 juniors
and seniors schedule every hour,
while 40 sophomores and fresh-
men per hour schedule their
courses.
Bills said that the first five or
six minutes of every hour TelReg
is up and running are the busiest.
"Students shouldn't experience
long time periods of wait," he
said.
Each semester, scheduling
starts at different places in the
alphabet, and the names are bro-
ken up into four groups. "Each
semester, the list is rotates, so that
if a student is here eight semes-
ters, that person would schedule
in the first group of their credit
level twice," Bills said.
Students are asked to start
preparing now for early registra-
tion to make it as easy as possible
when their scheduling date
arrives. For more information or
to get first look at course offer-
ings for the 1999 summer and fall
sessions, log on to the Registrar's
section of the University Web site
at http://www.clarion.edu/.
Advising Services recommends
that students pre-register at their
designated time, they see their
advisor early and take advantage
of their time slot.
Students are also advised to
take their courses in sequence
and ti plan their scheldule accord-
ing to additional program infor-
mation.

$3 million project planned for former Forest Manor
by Patricia Boberg
Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor
On April 1, the $3 million reno-
vation project to what was former-
ly known as Forest Manor will
begin.
Forest Manor will be converted
to Eagle Park over the next sever-
al months. "The newly remodeled
building is designed to meet the
physical, social and academic
needs of today's modem student,."
according to information from the
owners.
Jay Kumar and Mark Fleck are
the proud owners of Eagle Park.
Kumar said, "We feel that we are
giving students a housing com-
plex that will be the best around,
one of the best in the nation actu-
ally."
Kumar and Fleck are former
graduates of Clarion University.
They have worked together in
combining their ideas, while trav-
eling to other Universities for like
ideas, to provide the students of

Clarion with what they feel they
deserve.
"We wanted to provide students
with the things that we always
wanted. We know what it is like
to live in off-campus housing,"
said Kumar.
The recent rumor that permits
Oroff/The Clarion Call
date of the new $3 million
to be completed for student
have not yet been issued for the
renovations of the building are
true.
The reason: "The most work that
we have done here so far is paint-
ing walls and laying down carpet.
They were not needed yet," said
Kumar.
Kumar added, "When permits
are required, we will have them."
The only item remaining is to get
bids from the township, and to let
the township know what is going
on. The Department of Labor and
Industry were also recently con-
tacted and did confirm that there is
no need for them to issue any-
thing to the owners prior to con-
struction.
There are no contingency plans
for Eagle Park due to the fact that
contracts have been signed; mean-
ing, that the work is guaranteed to
be done.
Kumar and Reck said that they
have seen a great response from
faculty, townspeople and the stu-
dent body.
"We realize that we need to work
closely with the college and the
townspeople," said Kumar. "We
are currently sensing some nega-
tivism from the college in regards
to this project, we see it simply as
an opportunity for enrollment to
grow."
According to Kumar, "Projects
like this should actually open their
eyes. Off-campus housing and
Resident halls are now going to
have to have to up their stan-
dards."
Kumar assured that every safety
standard will be met. "This, by
far, will be the safest building on
campus," said Kumar. Hill Geary
Associates will be managing the
building and are stressing safety
and cleanliness; security cameras
will be positioned at every
entrance and parking lot, late entry
keys will be issued, and resident
managers will be at each tower.
Kumar and Fleck say their main
reason for doing this is because
they want to give students the
respect they deserve. To accom-
plish this, they have mixed the
features between a dorm and an
apartment; resulting in Eagle
Park.
APEX construction company
will be conducting the renova-
tions. The company is a sub-
sidiary of Hill Geary Association
in Pittsburgh.

History professor returns from
research fellowship in Germany
Dr. Robert Frakes, associate professor of history, recently returned
from a six month fellowship in Germany. The fellowship lasted
from July to December 1998, at the University of Munich. Frakes
conducted research on the Roman judicial system.
For a majority of the fellowship, Frakes conducted research in the
Leopold Wenger Institute for Ancient Legal History and Papyrus
Research at the University; He served as a guest of Dr. Dieter Noerr.
Because there is an immense German interest in Roman law as well
as ancient history, one must have competency in the German lanr
guage. To accommodate these requirements, Frakes completed a
four month intensive German language program in 1995.
"The study of Roman law is required for every law student in
Germany," said Frakes. "Forty I was able to keep my German skills
up by sitting in on Dr. Eriks Kluesner's German short story course."
While researching in Germany, Frakes and his family lived in the
international guest house of the University of Munich. Dr. Frakes
stated, "It was a great environment, especially for our two year old
daughter who was able to meet children from China, India, and
Italy.'" There was only one other American family in the guest house.
"It was a great professional experience, along with a great person-
al experience as well," says Frakes.
"I see research and teaching as linked parts of the scholarly enter-
prise," said Frakes. "Explaining the workings of ancient society to
my students at Clarion forces me to constantly reexamine our under-
standing of how governments really functioned in the ancient
world."
Frakes says that this experience will provide his ancient and
medieval civilization classes with new material. Frakes stated, "This
experience has made me think more widely about bow the ancient
government uses justice."
"If students are taught by professors who conduct research in their
field, lectures won't come straight from the book." Dr. Frakes
added, "This will provide my students with a better insight, and the
resources on what's going on. It's not just a textbook class."

Miller chosen to serve as CU rep on
state libraries' committee
Clarion University's assistant professor of Library Science, Dr.
Andrea Miller, has been selected to serve on the Commonwealth
Libraries' committee. She will also represent Clarion University in
the committee.
The Commonwealth Libraries' committee is a short term commit-
tee. The committee will revise three educational publications that
are frequently used by library media specialists for certification.
Since these texts are distributed free by the Commonwealth, they've
become a beneficial resources for teachers and practitioners.
These three publications, "Problem Definition Process: A Guide To
Research Strategies"; "Pennsylvania Online: A Curriculum Guide
For School Library Media Center"; and "Integrating Information-
Management Skills: A Process For Incorporating Library Media
Skills Into Content Areas", are in a series of publications that have
been on shelves for ten years. Although it was stated that "Problem
Definition Process: A Guide to Research Strategies" and
"Pennsylvania Online: A Curriculum Guide For School Library
Media Centers" may be combined to create one text, since the two
are closely related.
When asked how she felt about being accepted as part of the com-
mittee, Dr. Miller replied, "I'm pleased to be part of something that
will be valuable to others."
Dr. Miller noted that Clarion University will be recognized in the
published works; she said that this was her chance to give some-
ing back to the school which she feels gave her so much.

$3 million project planned for former Forest Manor
by Patricia Boberg
Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor
On April 1, the $3 million reno-
vation project to what was former-
ly known as Forest Manor will
begin.
Forest Manor will be converted
to Eagle Park over the next sever-
al months. "The newly remodeled
building is designed to meet the
physical, social and academic
needs of today's modern student,."
according to information from the
owners.
Jay Kumar and Mark Fleck are
the proud owners of Eagle Park.
Kumar said, "We feel that we are
giving students a housing com-
plex that will be the best around,
one of the best in the nation actu-
ally."
Kumar and Fleck are former
graduates of Clarion University.
They have worked together in
combining their ideas, while trav-
eling to other Universities for like
ideas, to provide the students of
George
April 1 is the projected start
Eagle Park project, expected
residents this fall.
Clarion with what they feel they
deserve.
"We wanted to provide students
with the things that we always
wanted. We know what it is like
to live in off-campus housing,"
said Kumar.
The recent rumor that permits
Groff/The Clarion Call
date of the new $3 million
to be completed for student
have not yet been issued for the
renovations of the building are
true.
The reason: "The most work that
we have done here so far is paint-
ing walls and laying down carpet.
They were not needed yet," said
Kumar.
Kumar added, "When permits
are required, we will have them."
The only item remaining is to get
bids from the township, and to let
the township know what is going
on. The Department of Labor and
Industry were also recently con-
tacted and did confirm that there is
no need for them to issue any-
thing to the owners prior to con-
struction.
There are no contingency plans
for Eagle Park due to the fact that
contracts have been signed; mean-
ing, that the work is guaranteed to
be done.
Kumar and Fleck said that they
have seen a great response from
faculty, townspeople and the stu-
dent body.
"We realize that we need to work
closely with the college and the
townspeople," said Kumar. "We
are currently sensing some nega-
tivism from the college in regards
to this project, we see it simply as
an opportunity for enrollment to
grow."
According to Kumar, "Projects
like this should actually open their
eyes. Off-campus housing and
Resident halls are now going to
have to have to up their stan-
dards."
Kumar assured that every safety
standard will be met. "This, by
far, will be the safest building on
campus," said Kumar. Hill Cleary
Associates will be managing the
building and are stressing safety
and cleanliness; security cameras
will be positioned at every
entrance and parking lot, late entry
keys will be issued, and resident
managers will be at each tower.
Kumar and Fleck say their main
reason for doing this is because
they want to give students the
respect they deserve. To accom-
plish this, they have mixed the
features between a dorm and an
apartment; resulting in Eagle
Park.
APEX construction company
will be conducting the renova-
tions. The company is a sub-
sidiary of Hill Cleary Association
in Pittsburgh.

attendance
policy
by Angela Everly
Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor
The new attendance policy that
was adopted by Faculty Senate at
their meeting Feb. 22 came about
as a result of a meeting of the
Committee on Committees and
Rules (CCR) and further discus-
sions.
The policy applies to members of
Faculty Senate committees or sub-
committees who have been absent
from 50 percent or more meetings
during an academic year without
legitimate reasons.
The policy states:
•At the end of the academic year,
the committee chairperson may
contact the chairperson of CCR to
notify him/her in writing of the
committee member's record of
attendance.
•The CCR chairperson will notify
the committee member in writing
that his/her attendance has been
unacceptable and request a written
explanation (within 10 working
days) for the absences or a letter of
resignation from the committee.
•If the committee member sub-
mits an explanation, the CCR will
determine whether to allow the
committee member to remain on
the committee or remove him/her
from the committee.
•If the committee member does
not respond to CCR within 10
working days, he/she will be
removed from the committee.
•The committee member will be
replaced through an additional
appointment to the committee dur-
ing the next round of appoint-
ments.

Theatre Review
'Jesus Christ Superstar' works miracles
by Jeff Say
Clarion Call
Lifestyles Editor
"Jesus Christ Superstar proved
miraculous for the CUP theatre
department last week.
The rock opera rolled into
Clarion and took the campus by
storm.
The musical, directed by
Marilouise Michel, tells the story
of the last days of Christ (played
by Jarrod Fry) as seen through the
eyes of his betrayer Judas (played
by Joe Gibson).
"JCS" opens in the outskirts of
Bethany with Judas's opening
solo, "Heaven On Their Minds".
The song describes the bitterness
Judas feels for Jesus' followers,
whom he feels are being misled
in the belief that Jesus is the sav-
ior. This scene shows off the
intensity and quality of Gibson's
voice. His voice is one of the
strongest and one of the most
haunting that I have ever heard.
His songs from "JCS" are still
ringing in my ears.
The ensemble cast makes it first
appearance with the song
"What's the Buzz". This is also
the first appearance of Jesus.
Fry's resemblance to his character
is remarkable and the entire casts
costumes and makeup were amaz-
ing.
After a stunning musical
exchange between Fry and
Gibson, Seanna Simon made her
appearance as Mary Magdalene,
with a voice as sweet as sugar she
melted Jesus' heart and the
crowds.
One of the most disturbing
scenes of the night belong to the
fearsome five-some of Caiaphas
(William Russo), Ann (Josh
Wood) and the three priests
(played by Jon Toth, Eric Grugel,
and Jeff Ahlberg).
The five plan to have Jesus
arrested and crucified. The three
priests voices sent chills through
my body, their roles were truly
terrifying.
The scene in the Temple in the
first act shows the amazing
choreography that the dancers
have in the musical. This scene
also included the hit song from the
1960's, "I Don't Know How To
Love Him", sang by Mary
Magdalene.
The first act ends with Judas
betraying Jesus with the song
"Damned for All Time."
The second act absolutely blew
me away, the songs, and the pure
emotion of the entire cast poured
into my heart.
The act opens with Jesus and his
apostles at the last supper, where
Jesus reveals his betrayer and pre-
dicts that Peter (Jud Steiner) will
deny him three times before the
night is over.
Jesus 's arrest is a poignant
moment in the musical, as Jesus's
apostles attempts to help him are
futile. In the next scene Peter
denies Jesus three times, just as he
predicted.
Another moment that sticks with
you is the scene in Pilates Palace,
when Jesus is first brought in front
of Pilate (Chris Ritz). Pilate
sends Jesus to King Herod to
decide his fate.
The scene in King Herod's place
is the one scene in the musical that
I didn't understand. The scene is
almost comic relief as Herod
(Christopher W. Waite) comes out
with colored, frilly sleeves and his
mock Jesus.
Once again Jesus is sent back to
Pilate and is handed over to the
crowd to be crucified.
The special effects amazed me
again in the scene of Judas' death.
Judas is hoisted high above the
stage and is then later brought
back down to sing "Superstar".
The final scene was the most
emotional scene in the musical as
Fry was "nailed" on a life size
cross. When he was taken down
the large coin with Julius Caesars'
image broke in half. The musical
ends with the cross "floating into
the heavens."
I was in the audience on the
closing night and there was close
to 900 people in attendance.
The actors and actresses in
"JCS" were glad that it was over
but carry fond memories of their
experiences. According to Gibson
" It was a very positive experi-
ence. It was very hard going from
being normal Joe Gibson one
minute to being the betrayer of
Christ next."
Fry agrees that it was "hard to do
every night, but I hope to do it
again in the future."
CUP theatre continues o April
28 with the drama production
"Dancing at Lughnasa."

Go to your budget surplus shelters
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist
Inere is big trouble brewing in
Washington, D.C. And 1 am not
talking that mess involving
Monica Lewinsky and President
You Know Who. NOBODY cares
about that anymore. The public is
SICK of it. The Republicans could
produce a videotape of the presi-
dent and Monica pistol-whipping
a 7-Eleven clerk and then per-
forming an illegal act with a Slim
Jim, and the public would say. So
what! Let's focus on the issues!"
No, the trouble I'm talking about
is the federal budget surplus. It is
raging out of control.
What, exactly is this surplus,
and why is it such a threat? To
answer those questions, perhaps it
will help if we take a moment to
briefly review the history of our
federal budget. Or perhaps it will
not. But just try to stop us.
For many thousands of years,
there was no federal budget.
America was run by native
Americans who had a tribal form
of government and used a simple
tax form made of bark. The first
Europeans to arrive were the
Vikings, who landed here around
700 A.D. but were eliminated in
the playoffs. They were followed
by Christopher Columbus, who
actually thought he had discov-
ered India. (He thought this
because the native Americans,
who were big pranksters, had
erected a huge sign that said
WELCOME TO INDIA!") This
was followed by what historians
call The Bunch of Boring Wars,
which ended up with England in
charge of the colonies. But then
the king of England King Really
Stupid enacted a tea tax, which
was extremely unpopular with the
colonists who were very fond of
their tea" which was colonial
slang for marijuana. And thus the
United States was formed.
In those days the federal govern-
ment's only function was to deliv-
er the mail, which consisted of a
few dozen handwritten parchment
letters from Ed McMahon. The
government didn't need much
money: in fact, the original
Internal Revenue Service consist-
ed of just two employees and one
horse which would conduct audits
by standing on selected taxpayers'
heads.
Over the years the federal gov-
ernment got bored with delivering
mail, so it came up with many
important new programs such as
the Department of Commerce,
which caries out the vital work of
doing whatever it is that the
Department of Commerce does.
As the government's money
requirements grew so did the IRS.
which today employs more than
165,000 personnel and nearly
11,000 horses.
Today the federal budget stands
or technically squats at well over
$1 trillion. It is very difficult for
average moron taxpayers like our-
selves to grasp a number that
large, so to make the
budget surplus problem more
understandable, let's compare the
federal government to a lemonade
stand operated by two youngsters
named "Billy" and "Suzy" (not
their real names).
Billy and Suzy have mixed up a
batch of "lemonade," or govern-
ment programs. Whenever a cus-
tomer, or taxpayer, comes along,
he or she decides to pay Billy and
Suzy a percentage of his or her
income, because otherwise they
will put him or her into federal
prison. In return for this money
Billy and Suzy do not give any
lemonade to the customer. They
give it to various organizations
and individuals deemed worthy of
lemonade, such as the Department
of Commerce, retired people,
defense contractors, and
researchers studying the dangers
of inadequately heated soup.
For years, Billy and Suzy gave
away so much lemonade that, no
matter how much money they got
from their customers, they still
had to borrow more. But now,
suddenly, they are WAY ahead.
They arc taking in billions more
dollars from their customers than
they are spending on lemonade.
Even if they start paying back the
borrowed money, they have bil-
lions and billions left over piling
up all over Billy's and Suzy's
lawn to the point where their dog,
"Spot" sometimes has no choice
but to relieve himself on it.
This is the problem that our
government leaders are wracking
their brains over now. Impossible
as it may sound, the government
is unable to spend money as fast
as it is collecting it. This is a very
serious problem. Why? Because
according to economists, unless
something is done — and soon —
to relieve the massive buildup of
excess tax receipts the Treasury
Building could explode and
release its contents into the atmos-
phere, forming an immense cloud
of money that could be blown by
prevailing winds over a populated
area. If the wind were to shift, the
money could fall back to Earth
where some of it could, conceiv-
ably, wind up — this is referred to
in top-secret government docu-
ments as "The Doomsday
Scenario" — back in the hands of
taxpayers.
A chilling Stephen King night-
mare scenario you say?
Unfortunately, it could happen,
unless our leaders are able to fig-
ure out what to do about the sur-
plus. Until they do, we, as taxpay-
ers, should minimize the risk of
coming into direct contact with
our money by remaining indoors
as much possible living on canned
goods which we should, accord-
ing to recent studies, heat proper-
ly.
Music Review
Imperial Teen' hits puberty and Westerberg gets old
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Assistant
Lifestyles Editor
Whilst listening to 'Imperial
Teen's new disc, What Is Not To
Love, I couldn't help but see
scenes from the early 90's slacker
classic Reality Bites flash through
my head. It's as if the
'Lemonheads' were still making
decent music, and 'R.E.M.' never
discovered fame and drum
machines. What Is Not To Love is
a terse, sophisticated, and exciting
venture through early alternative
rock and new wave.
Sunny melodies, girl-boy har-
monies, and nervy riffs abound on
the album. With tunes that sound
like they belong on the
'Lemonhead's classic It's A Shame
About Ray. white noise that is
pure 'My Bloody Valentine', and
post-punk production that's bor-
rowed from 'Echo and the
Bunnymen' (can you stand for me
to drop one more band name?),
What Is Not To Love has some-
thing new at every turn.
At several points on the album,
most notably the absolutely per-
fect pop song "Yoo Hoo," you can
clearly tell they're drawing water
from the same well the 'Breeders'
drank from when they released
Last Splash waaaaay back in 1993
(remember the quirky fun of
"Cannonball"?) If I could tell you
why it's so fun to sing along to
such nonsense as "She said ahhh
yoo hoo" I'd have the secret to
life, but...
New wave God Elvis Costello
would have been proud of songs
like "Lipstick" and "The
Beginning," with their nervous
guitars, ringing reverb, and super-
tight percussion. Imperial Teen
rips through this album with reck-
less abandon.
The seven minute opuses of
"Alone In The Grass" and
"Hooray" are filled with feedback
and white noise, while still sound-
ing pop-ish.
Other songs, such as "Year Of
The Tan" recall the 'Pixies', with
their heavier guitars and cryptic
lyrics. Creations like "Open
Season" and "Seven" sound like
Murmur-era 'R.E.M.' and their
trademark jangle-pop sound, just
heavier.There is no shortage of
highlights on the record.
What Is Not To Love is an amaz-.
ingly accomplished album, con-
sidering it's only their second, and
leaves you yelling for more. On
my five-star rating system,
'Imperial Teen' has earned them-
selves a 4 for What Is Not To
Love. So pop in Reality Bites
while 'Imperial Teen' provides a
near-perfect slacker soundtrack.
Also out now is the new solo
disc from former 'Replacements'
frontman Paul Westerberg,
Suicaine Gratification. If the
alcohol-fueled rock of the
'Replacements' was Paul's wild,
boozing night out (which it was;,
they never played a concert
sober), then his solo career is the
"waking up the morning after with
a splitting headache hangover"
end result.
That's not an overstatement,
either. Aside from the single
"Dyslexic Heart" from 1992,
Westerberg just can't seem to
grow old gracefully. And if he
was confident enough to release
Suicaine Gratification as is, then
his ears are dyslexic, too.
Imagine for a moment that the
'Goo Goo Dolls' had an ounce of
talent and originality (I know it's a
stretch). Now suck out all the life
from that and you'll have an idea
of what Westerberg's new album
sounds like. It's a shame that
such a great musician has fallen so
low. It's as if some horrible musi-
cal incubus has come in the dark
of night to steai away all of Paul's
talent and interest. He sounds

Clarion invaded by UFO's
by Mike Cody
Clarion CaU Staff Writer,
Most people have occasionally
pondered the age-old question. "Is
mankind alone in the universe?"
For Robert Hastings, the answer is
a resounding "no".
A graduate of both Ohio
University and Delta College,
Hastings, who works as a system
failure analyst in Albuqerque,
New Mexico. He spoke before a
sparse crowd at the Gemmell
Multi - Purpose Room on Monday
night. Through intermittently
intriguing and dull, Hasting's
speech presented a great deal of
surprising evidence suggesting
that since the 1950's the United
States government has done its
best to cover up the phenomena of
unidentified flying objects, or
UFO's.
"The only ticket of admission
here tonight is an open mind,"
said Hastings shortly before
launching into his speech, which
involved a lenghty slide presenta-
tion and counUess previously clas-
sified documents made available
to the public through the Freedom
of Information Act.
Hastings was quick to point out
that he wasn't trying to "convince
skeptics" that aliens did, in fact,
exist. The only purpose of his
speech was to present the facts as
they were and to let the audience
make their own opinions as to the
existence of UFO's. Although
Hastings acknowledged the fact
that much of his evidence was cir-
cumstantial, he stated that the
United States government is still
holding back the most damning
evidence of extraterrestrial con-

'Black Sabbath' reunion tour rocks Pittsburgh
by James Gates
Clarion Call Staff Writer
On Friday, February 19, the cit-
izens of Pittsburgh were graced by
reunited legends, 'Black
Sabbath'. Formed over thirty
years ago and broken up twenty-
five years ago, 'Black Sabbath'
were a welcome sight to every-
one, from the 5f>something hip-
pies and parents to young metal-
heads wanting to go crazy to
heavy metal. With all the leather-
clad punks and dingy looking old
timers in attendance, the trajler
parks had to be empty.
Also on the bill along with the
gods of metal are the current kings
of 90's metal, 'Pantera'. The
show was originally scheduled for
January 29th along with the
'Deftones' opening up, but health
problems and scheduling conflicts
pushed the tour back three weeks.
After waiting for an hour in line
in ungodly cold conditions, the
warm air up in the balcony section
where my friends and I were seat-
ed was a godsend. Security for
the show was also beefed up to
prevent mass destruction caused
by 'PanteraY unruly crowds.
'Pantera' hit the stage at 8:25
sharp with the force of a 200 ton
train, with the song
"Domination." Chaos ensued (at
least in my seat, because I could-
n't get to the floor) for the next
hour 'Pantera' played. They
touched on all of their hits from
Cowboys From Hell and Vulgar
Display Of Power with a few from
Far Beyond Driven. Not one song
from Great Southern Trendkill
was played, unfortunately. But
the nine full songs they did play
didn't disappoint.
'Pantera' could have easily
played two or three more songs,
but singer/wild-man Phil Anselmo
wouldn't shut up. His between-
song banter was entertaining at
first, but after he kept toasting the
crowd with whiskey, he became
incoherent and mumbled more
than ever. He did give good
advice to help out a singer's
voice, but it isn't printable mater-
ial. The last thing he said was that
'Pantera' has a new studio album
coming out this summer. Then he
proceeded to gag on a shot of
whiskey for two or three minutes.
A highlight of the'Pantera' per-
formance was when Phil grabbed
a 44 year old bald man and had
him hang out on stage while they
played "Primal Concrete Sledge."
They let him scream, gave him
whiskey, and treated him like a
king.
'Pantera' closed their set with
the fan favorite "This Love" but
the best song was "Cowboys from
Hell" in which the band broke out
into "Cat Scratch Fever" by Ted
Nugent and a Blue Oyster Cult
song before finishing the song
with strobe lights ablazing.
' Black Sabbath' came on only
15 minutes after Pantera and rose
through the floor onto a covered
stage. The band then vaulted into
"War Pigs." Every hit 'Black
Sabbath' had when Ozzy
Osbourne was still in the band
was played and done so master-
fully, as only Black Sabbath can
do.
It was impossible to sit down
and not sing along through 'Black
Sabbath's' spiritual performance.
Every song had the crowd singing
with the ailing Ozzy, and he
worked the crowd the whole
night. Ozzy's voice gave out dur-
ing "Children of the Grave" and
he apologized for his cold and
squeaky voice, but his enthusiasm
overshadowed his illness. If it
weren't for the wrinkles and thin-
ning hair, you'd swear that they
were 20 year olds, not 50.
Guitar legend Tony Iommi cele-
brated his birthday at the show
and the crowd sang "Happy
Birthday" to him. Later, an intox-
icated fan in the front row started
causing problems and Ozzy yelled
at him, using every profanity in
the book and told him to leave if
he can't have fun. Ozzy's father
instincts coming through, no
doubt.
Songs "Iron Man," "N.I.B.,"
"Electric Funeral," "Snow Blind,"
and "Fairies Wear Boots" were
brilliant in their own right, but
nothing topped the sinister evil of
'Black Sabbath's' first song ever,
titled "Black Sabbath." The stage
was covered in fog, and red lights
tainted the ground. Torches
adorned the stage ten feet above
the crowd and a metal Satan-look-
ing device hovered off the lighting
rig. A church bell sounded during
the slow brooding epic and it
looked like a sacrifice was about
to occur. It was unbelievable.
Bassist Geezer Butler and drum-
mer Bill Ward were precision
tight and energetic throughout the
hour and fifteen minutes set,
which ended with "Children of
the Grave." After listening to
chants of "Ozzy" for five minutes,
Black Sabbath tore the stage up
one more time with "Paranoid,"
probably 'Black Sabbath's' most
popular song ever.
The set was too short for the
sold out arena, but you can't
expect too much from the old
timers. They went all out and
proved to the sixty thousand-plus
roaring fans that they are the Gods
of metal and can still rock with the
best.
UFO'slDo aliens really exist?, from Page 15.
Some ot the other cases Hastings
tact.
However, the document and sto-
ries Hasings related Monday night
were very convincing in their own
right. In fact, Hastings himself
had a UFO-related experience
when he was only a "16 year-old
Air Force brat." One evening, the
young man watched as Air Force
personnel used radars and tracking
systems to monitor five UFO's for
a full half-hour. The UFO's,
which moved at a high speed, hov-
ered, and performed complicated
aerial tasks, eventually disap-
peared off the charts, forever leav-
ing an impact on Hastings life.
presented were just as shocking.
Few people know that, many years
ago, United States jets engaged in
a dogfight with an alleged UFO
over the capital of Iran. The
object, described in official docu-
ments as being star-like yet
brighter, was covered with fast-
moving red, orange, blue, and
green lights. While US jets were
pursuing the object, their comput-
ers and navigational systems were
inexplicably knocked out, forcing
them to end their chase.
The strange events of that
evening didn't end there. As the

second jet that attempted to inter-
cept the UFO was landing, a
strange cigar-shaped craft zoomed
past the jet narrowly missing it by
around thirty feet. After the cigar-
shaped craft passed by the jet, all
the power on the military base was
knocked out for a period of sever-
al hours.
Hastings ended his presentation
with a document sent to J. Edgar
Hoover detailing the recovery of
alien space craft containing bodies
that were human-like but only
three feet tall. Despite the con-
vincing nature of the documents
released thus far to the American
people, Hastings says the general
public is still only recieving "table
scraps" of information. The US
govenment, interested in preserv-
ing national security, may be keep-
ing major discoveries under
wraps.
One of Hastings' final comments
was that he didn't believe it was
any coincidence that the alleged
alien appearances began after the
United States began to experiment
with nuclear energy. Could it be
that a "higher power" is trying to
send a message for the US to turn
back from a very dangerous
course? It's not a theory that most
would subscribe to, but only time
will tell.
WESTERBERGI Music review, from Page 14.
utterly bored throughout
Gratification, which provides any-
thing but.
The only song on the album that
sustains interest at all is the
watered-down rock of "Lookin'
Out Forever." And the only rea-
son it works is because it's a virtu-
al re-write of "Dyslexic Heart."
The majority of the record is con-
sumed by dreary piano ballads that
will turn your brain to oatmeal
faster than a 'Beatles' cover album
by the 'Spice Girls' could.
On my five-star scale, Paul
Westerberg has accidentally stum-
bled on a 1/2 star in his drunken
stupor.

AN OPEN LETTER TO CLARION
STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS REGARDING
EAGLE PARK
We are the developers of the new EAGLE PARK housing complex and we are aware of the letter that
the University's Housing Office has sent to students regarding EAGLE PARK - we would like to
respond.
First -
Second-
We have met on two occasions with Dr. Barry Morris of the Housing Office, and discussed our new
complex and invited them to call us if they had any questions. No one ever called us.
The reason that no building permits have been filed for is that renovations are not scheduled to start until
April 1 * We have been in contact with the Township regarding the needed permits. Also, no project
plan has been submitted to the Department of Labor and Industry because it is NOT required on this
type of renovation. The building will meet code requirements and does have an occupancy permit from
the State. The Housing Office should have known tins - they used to operate this building.
>
Third -
Regarding security deposits - we, like all landlords, are required to keep security deposits in a "separate
and secured" account. All security deposits are being deposited at S & T Bank in Clarion.
We are developing a housing complex that will not only be the finest in Clarion - it will be one of the
top facilities of its kind in the country. (And it will be cheaper than the alternatives.)
As Real Estate Developers and Clarion Alumni, we are baffled and disappointed by the Housing
Office's response to our project, especially considering the condition of both on-campus and off-
campus housing at Clarion. We have had a great response from the majority of the University Staff
and Students that have been to our Open House.
We are currently over 70% filled for the Fall Semester,
and our $3,000,000 renovation project will start on April l ft .
RENOVATION WILL BE COMPLETED FOR OCCUPANCY FOR THE FALL SEMESTER
HILL CLEARY and Associates will professionally manage the property. HILL CLEAR Y and Associates is a
Pittsburgh real estate company that has been in business for over 100 years. Their construction division, APEX
Property Services, will be handling the Renovation Project. Anyone with questions regarding these issues is
encouraged to call Michael Cleary at (412) 391-6160.
t i -
Finally we encourage you to compare your housing and it s amenities and cost to that of EAGLE PARK.

Women's swim team
luck out on their 24th
consecutive win
Lady Eagles Basketball team
end season with a 69-51 loss
against UPJ
George Groff/The Clarion Call
The highly respected lady eagles lost their first PSAC
Conference Championship in last 23 consecutive years to
IUP.
by Lori Hynes
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Last Wednesday, 17 members
of the women's swim team and
17 members of the men's swim
team traveled to West Chester to
compete in the PSAC
Championship meet.
Both teams fell short of coming
home PSAC champions. IUP
edged out the lady eagle
swimmers by a three point
margin and the West Chester
men won by a mere 16 points.
The women's swim team has
won the PSAC's the last 23
consecutive years and are very
highly respected in the
conference. "The teams quest
for 24 ended when IUP edged by
three points. The meet was close
all the way and I was happy with
the athletes because they did
extremely well," Coach Bill
Miller said.
First place finishers came from
Senior Christina Tillotson in the
200 Individual Medley with an
NCAA time of 2:07.64 and in the
400 Individual Medley with an
NCAA time of 2:07.64.
Sophomore Megan Tracy was
also a double winner qualifying
for the NCAA Championships in
both the 100 Backstroke at 58.85
and the 200 Backstroke. Also
scoring for the women's team
were Juniors Nikki Diloreto,
Leigh Mather, Mindy Walker,
and Sarah Yocum; Sophomores
Jeanine Buechelor, Shannon
Cattoni, Andrea Faller, Kelly
Homer, and Katie McNerney;
and Freshman Mary Cardell,
Jamie Condeluci, Tina Decker,
Jen Kissell, and Jill McMillen.
Placing first for 500 Freestyle
for the men was Dan Pierce with
a time of 4:45.21. Also scoring
for the men's team were Juniors
Doug Comish, Joe Dinkel, Jon
Rohrbach, and Ago Szabo;
Sophomores Matt Jeffers, Steve
O'Connor, John Smithson, John
Strelecki, Aaron Ulishney and
The CU Cheerleaders
took first in the
Ameri-Cheer Winter
Classic. For the story,
see page 22.
Adam Ulishney; and Freshman
Gary Aughinbaugh,
Matt Buckley, Adam Lohr, Brian
Monico, James Triplett, and Jack
Wygodski.
Going into the PSAC's, the
women were predicted to lose by
a couple hundred points and the
men were expected to lose by 90
points. "I am extremely proud of
both the men and women's team;
they fought up until the end and
did not give up easily," Coach
Mark VanDyke said. "Most of
the swimmers had life-time best
swims," Coach Miller added.
For the women, IUP came in
first by three points, Clarion in
second, and Bloomsburg third.
The West Chester men came in
first by 16 points, Clarion
second, and Shippensburg
University third. The Clarion
coaches relied heavily upon the
depth of both the teams for
points.
The next step for the swimming
and diving team is the NCAA
Championships which will be
held in Buffalo, NY., on March
10-13.
Qualifiers for this meet are
swimmers Shannon Cattoni,
Nikki Diloreto, Kelly Homer,
Jen Kissell, Jill McMillen,
Christina Tillotson, Megan
Tracy, and Sarah Yocum. Divers
for this event include Wendy
Casler, Julie Murray, Stephanie
Sutton, and Chrissy Young.
Representing the men's swim-
ming and diving team will be
diver Ken Bedford.

SPORTS CORNER
This week
How do you feel about the massive loss of free agents
by the Pittsburgh Steelers?
Bill Isbir— I think that the Steelers' losses will be compensated by their early
round draft picks. I trust the front office and respect the decisions they make.
The Steelers will have major improvements from last year to this upcoming
year.
Mitch Augustine-Next year, it will be tough to be competitive, but the long
term plan should provide for contention within the next five years.
Jared Mracna--lt will not make a difference, the Steelers will still kick a**
anyways.
Rodger Wilson-Due to the loss of free agents, they will not be the big
contenders that they were last season.
Nick Chervenak-Even with the great management and coaching of Cowher,
the loss of so many free agents equals another losing season.
NEXTWEEK
What four teams do you think will be in the final four?

On February 21, 1999, the Clarion
University Cheerleaders showed
what they are made of. The squad
had a stellar performance and won
the Ameri-Cheer competition.
Captain Nick Chervenak stated
"The competition was a great
stepping stone on the road to nation-
als and was a huge confidence
booster." The squad beat the com-
petition with a solid and clean rou-
tine. They beat college such as
Cumberland College of Kentucky.
"Cumberland placed right behind
Slippery Rock at UCA nationals,
and it makes us feel great to beat a
squad that placed in nationals com-
petition," said Tom Clopp of the CU
Cheerleaders.
The Ameri-Cheer competition also
provided an opportunity for cheer
couples to show off their
partner stunts.
Participating in the partner stunt
portion of the program was Nick
Chervenak and Shannon Fennell,
Bobbi Jo Green and Josh Selleck,
and Todd McElroy and Christy
Vass.
In April 1-4, the squad will com-
pete at the National Cheerleaders
Association (NCA) Collegiate
Championships in Daytona Beach,
Florida.

Clarion Ice Hockey starts
off their season
by Bill Friedline -,
Contributing writer
Is there a Clarion Ice Hockey
Team? The answer to that ques-
tion is a simple YES!
The Clarion Ice Hockey team
has been around for roughly six
years, but there wasn't enough
interest until last year. Through
the leadership of Captains Jeff
VanStone and Drew McWilliams,
the Clarion team was brought to
life in the winter of 1997-1998.
This year there are currently
fifteen players willing to spend
time battling it out on the ice.
They play in a league located in
Kittanning every Monday and,
some Wednesday nights.
At the start of the season, the
team was rusty, but they are a very
sound group of hockey players.
Right now Clarion is in the build-
ing stage, but they are hoping to
play more college teams in the
future.
The boys of winter have faced
some tough competition so far, but
are improving each game. Since
there is finally enough interest to
have an established team, we
would like fan support to become
better known by the student body
and university.
Upcoming games are scheduled
for Monday, March §, Wednesday,
March 10, and Monday, March 15.
All three games are played at
10:00 p.m. in Kittanning.
If anybody is interested in attend-
ing a game, contact the Belmont
Ice Complex at (724) 548-1067 for
game times and directions, or con-
tact Drew McWilliams at x3936,
or Bill Friedline at x3784.
Themembers of the team are:
Chris Angel ucci, Brent Baker,
Andy Boarts, Bill Friedline, Rich
Giraud, Shane Gross, Bill Holmes,
Drew McWilliams, Scott Miller,
Ed Mitchell, Joe Nemet, Rob Roth,
Shawn Ryan, Christian Vanassa,

adventure
with the
Recreational
Outdoor Club
by Dani Stein
Contributing writer
On Saturday, February 20,
1999, the Recreational
Outdoors Club headed off for
their weekend trip as they do
most Saturdays. However,
this was not your usual week-
end trip.
While most people spend
their weekends going to par-
ties, movies, or just hanging
outj, the Club headed to J-4, a
location just outside of State
College, to do some serious
caving.
Though many of people in
the club have their first caving
experience at J-4, it is not a
cave for the faint of heart.
The cave includes such
obstacles as "The Highway", a
long crack through the cave
that seems to go down
indefinitely which can only be
crossed by bracing your feet
against one wall and your
back against the other, inching
your way across and "Judy's
Frustration", a narrow, wind-
ing tunnel that is so tight,
crawling is not an option.
Inside, cavers can see many
interesting rock formations,
among them a layered stack of
stalagmites called the
Wedding Cake, a formation
which is well-known among
frequenters of J-4. Even the
entrance of the cave is an
adventure. A person must
climb a steep quarry wall and
then crawl through two nar-
row drainpipes to get to the
interior of the cave.
The Recreational Outdoor
Club usually goes caving
several times a year.
The club was joined by the
some non-members for this
trip, and in total, about twen-
ty-eight people were along for
this adventure.
The group managed to
explore all of the main obsta-
cles of the cave, making it a
very successful trip as well
as an exciting experience.

SPORTS CORNER
This week
How do you feel about the massive loss of free agents
by the Pittsburgh Steelers?
Bill lsbir-1 think that the Steelers' losses will be compensated by their early
round draft picks. I trust the front office and respect the decisions they make.
The Steelers will have major improvements from last year to this upcoming
year.
Mitch Augustine-Next year, it will be tough to be competitive, but the long
term plan should provide for contention within the next five years.
Jared Mracna--lt will not make a difference, the Steelers wiii still kick a**
anyways.
Rodger Wilson-Due to the loss of free agents, they will not be the big
contenders that they were last season.
Nick Chervenak-Even with the great management and coaching of Cowher,
the loss of so many free agents equals another losing season.
NEXT WEEK
What four teams do you think will be in the final four?

The CU Cheerleaders will compete in Daytona in April.
On February 21, 1999, the Clarion
University Cheerleaders showed
what they are made of. The squad
had a stellar performance and won
the Ameri-Cheer competition.
Captain Nick Chervenak stated
The competition was a great
stepping stone on the road to nation-
als and was a huge confidence
booster." The squad beat the com-
petition with a solid and clean rou-
tine. They beat college such as
Cumberland College of Kentucky.
"Cumberland placed right behind
Slippery Rock at UCA nationals,
and it makes us feel great to beat a
squad that placed in nationals com-
petition," said Tom Clopp of the CU
Cheerleaders.
The Ameri-Cheer competition also
provided an opportunity for cheer
couples to show off their
partner stunts.
Participating in the partner stunt
portion of the program was Nick
Chervenak and Shannon Fennell,
Bobbi Jo Green and Josh Selleck,
and Todd McElroy and Christy

In April 1-4, the squad will com-
pete at the National Cheerleaders

contributed 17 points during
Tuesday nights game.

Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Golden Eagles rallied from
a ten point deficit, but dropped
their season finale, Wednesday,
February 17, 53-54 to California
(21-5, 10-1 PSAC West) with a
second left on the play.
Leading the way for Clarion
was Lormont Sharp, with 15
points and 7 boards. Marvin
Wells put in 12 points, and Brad
Wright
contributed 8 assists. Seth
Martin's 14 points and 13
rebounds led California. Tamar
Rose- Williams had 13 points.
Eric Watson added 12 points,
including the final two free
throws, which clinched the game
for California. The Eagles were
plagued in the first half with poor
rebounding.
Both teams played an untempo
game, and at times play became
physical. But the Eagles entered
half-time down 35-28, due to a
series of poor three-points
attempts. California built its
biggest lead of the game, 46-36,
with 12:26 remaining in the sec-
ond half.
The Eagles began a strong rally,
punctuated by a three-pointer by
Sharp that brought the Eagles
within 42-46 at 9:48. Both teams
tightened up their defenses from
that points. Amid numerous
turnovers by both squads, Clarion
climbed within 50-51 with 5:30
left. With :59 remaining, Clarion
pulled ahead 54-53 on a jumper
by Sharp. The Eagles once more
could not control the boards. In
the closing minute of the game,
California misfired several times,
and each time retained control.
With 1.1 seconds remaining,
Freshman David Shearer commit-
ted a foul on a rebound which was
traveling out of bounds.
California's Eric Watson stepped
to the line, and completed the vic-
tory with two free throws, putting
California ahead by one.
On Tuesday, February 23,
Clarion opened the PSAC play-
offs by traveling to California
where they met up with the a
squad who were playing their
best ball of the year.
Lormont Sharp once more
paced the Eagles, scoring 22
points. Marvin Wells put in 17
points and pulled down nine
boards. However, Clarion com-
mitted 18 turnovers to just eight
byCal.
California was led by Eric
Watson's 24 points and eight
rebounds. Melvin Meyers scored
15 points, pulling off the unusual
feet of scoring all of his points on
three-pointers (shooting 5-7).
Seth Martin also added 14 points.
The game was close in the early
going.
Clarion gained a two point lead
three separate times during the
first half. Cal built its lead to 36-
35 by the half. Clarion was
unable to repeat its heroics of the
season finale against Cal.
California built its lead to 71-40
on a jam by Watson with 8:02
remaining. Clarion could not
close the gap, and dropped the
game 88-64.
Clarion had been eliminated,
finishing the season with a 7-6
mark in the PSAC West and over-
all record of 19-8.

form alliance to ward
off hate groups
by Mark Strieker
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Clarion community is now officially prepared for the possibility
of public demonstrations by hate groups. If a hate group should ever
stage a demonstration in Clarion, the Clarion County Ethnic Tolerance
Coalition will sponsor a counter activity, such as a picnic.
John Shropshire, Dean of Enrollment Management and Coalition
chair, said that practically every business on Main Street has agreed to
close down in the event of a hate group demonstration. Shropshire said
the coalition hopes to plan proactive events in the future.
Many Clarion University administrators, faculty and other communi-
ty leaders have signed up to be part of the coalition. "We'd be more than
happy to have every student aboard," said Shropshire. Anyone who
wants to sign up should contact Shropshire in the Admissions office.
Shropshire said Pennsylvania has the third largest number of hate

by Sandy Wadding
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Clarion University has been awarded a
$330,500 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Link-To-Learn for Integrating Technology in
Teacher Preparation (ITTP) grant.
The funding is from the recently adopted
standards, "Technology for the 21st
Century," a teacher preparation initiative
from Governor Ridge.
"I am very pleased that Clarion University
has been awarded a Link-To-Learn Grant to
increase the proficiency of its pre-service
teachers in the use of technology to improve
teaching and learning," said Dr. Gail Grejda,
dean of the College of Education and
Human Services. "This initiative will pro-
vide new and exciting opportunities to
develop innovative teaching techniques.
The grant will support constructive teaching
practices and effective teaching of the emer-
gent Pennsylvania academic standards in
science, technology, and mathematics."
Clarion was one of 20 higher education
institutions, and one of six in the State
System of Higher Education, to receive the
grants, totaling $5.4 million, awarded by
education secretary Eugene Hickok.
Initially, 46 applications were submitted
requesting $13 million total.
"These grants emphasize teaching with
technology rather than teaching about tech-
nology," says Hickok. "They are designed
to ensure Pennsylvania teachers, both cur-
rent and future teachers, can use technology

The Golden Eagles rallied from
a ten point deficit, but dropped
their season finale, Wednesday,
February 17, 53-54 to California
(21-5, 10-1 PSAC West) with a
second left on the play.
Leading the way for Clarion
was Lormont Sharp, with 15
points and 7 boards. Marvin
Wells put in 12 points, and Brad
Wright
contributed 8 assists. Seth
Martin's 14 points and 13
rebounds led California. Tamar
Rose-Williams had 13 points.
Eric Watson added 12 points,
including the final two free
by Sharp. The Eagles once more
could not control the boards. In
the closing minute of the game,
California misfired several times,
and each time retained control.
With 1.1 seconds remaining,
Freshman David Shearer commit-
ted a foul on a rebound which was
traveling out of bounds.
California's Eric Watson stepped
to the line, and completed the vic-
tory with two free throws, putting
California ahead by one.
On Tuesday, February 23,
Clarion opened the PSAC play-
offs by traveling to California
where they met up with the a
squad who were playing their
best ball of the year.
Lormont Sharp once more
paced the Eagles, scoring 22
points. Marvin Wells put in 17
points and pulled down nine
boards. However, Clarion com-
mitted 18 turnovers to just eight
by Cal.
California was led by Eric
Watson's 24 points and eight
rebounds. Melvin Meyers scored
15 points, pulling off the unusual
feet of scoring all of his points on
three-pointers (shooting 5-7).
Seth Martin also added 14 points.
The game was close in the early
going.
Clarion gained a two point lead
three separate times during the
first half. Cal built its lead to 36-
35 by the half. Clarion was
unable to repeat its heroics of the
season finale against Cal.
California built its lead to 71-40
with two dual meets on Saturday,
February 20.
The Golden Eagles wrestled at
Virginia Tech on Saturday after-
noon, and then traveled to
Virginia for their final dual meet

Borough, University
form alliance to ward
off hate groups
by Mark Strieker
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Clarion community is now officially prepared for the possibility
of public demonstrations by hate groups. If a hate group should ever
stage a demonstration in Clarion, the Clarion County Ethnic Tolerance
Coalition will sponsor a counter activity, such as a picnic.
John Shropshire, Dean of Enrollment Management and Coalition
chair, said that practically every business on Main Street has agreed to
close down in the event of a hate group demonstration. Shropshire said
the coalition hopes to plan proactive events in the future.
Many Clarion University administrators, faculty and other communi-
ty leaders have signed up to be part of the coalition. "We'd be more than
happy to have every student aboard," said Shropshire. Anyone who
wants to sign up should contact Shropshire in the Admissions office.
Shropshire said Pennsylvania has the third largest number of hate
group activity; they rank behind Georgia and California. Shropshire
said that Clarion University was alerted by Harrisburg that the l'FStSlf'f
System of Higher Education schools are being considered "prime tar-
gets" for hate group activity. "They want people who are smart. They

CU students targeted
as "binge drinkers
//
We are not excusing the fact that binge drinking does
occur among Clarion University students. But, do the
students of this University need to be stereotyped as
beer guzzling vigilanties? Has there been a recent out-
crop of alcohol related crimes or tragedies associated
with Clarion University students? The Call hasn't
recently reported any.
We feel that the University should be applauded for
what has been and should remain an institution with
an excellent reputation. It is unfair to criticize Clarion
without looking at the positive as well.
The fact that only students themselves are being tar-
geted as "binge drinkers"is a little shady. Clarion stu-
dents seem to be the misrepresented minority. Are
Clarion students the only frequenters of the bars?
Definitely not. Spend a night at any local bar at note
the number of locals. And while the community seems
so concerned with the issue, Clarion University has a
variety of programs to help curb binge drinking.
The Greek System has united together to advocate
anti-drinking practices. It is not fair to base past prac-
tices on present ones. Residence hall programs offer
"mocktail" socials. Literature is distributed through
the Drug and Alcohol office. Students who are caught
abusing alcohol on campus, take mandatory alcohol
classes.
Finally, the state system as a whole has recognized
the problem of binge drinking on many levels. Last
year's Board of Student Government Presidents
declared Binge Drinking as the issue of the year and
has been supported statewide.
Recent reports have certainly sparked our curiosity.
It's unfair to criticize CU students without just cause.
Instead of being thankful for the responsibility stu-
dents have shown, students are cast as "binge
drinkers," encouraging behaviors we are accused of.
Your Views
Public Safety, losing ticket
Well Public Safety has finally fig-
ured something that the rest of us
knew for a while. There are more
empty spots now than there were
earlier. So rush and get your new
permit. But WAIT, before you go
down there.
Did Public Safety have you get a
Freshman Permit because you
couldn't get a regular student one?
Do you have one of those permits
for up at the stadium? If you do, stay
home; they can't give you a permit
because their "policy" is that you
can only be issued a permit for one
area within an academic year.
I am a Fire Fighter with the Clarion
Fire Dept. and with Shippenville
ambulance. I was issued a green tag
for the freshman lot. But, what if I
have to go to a house that's on fire,
or maybe your friend is having a
heart attack, maybe your parents
were in a car wreck on the interstate.
Well, here is what I'm expected by
public safety to do: run from my
Residence hall (Ralston) down to the
freshman lot (behind Still). That
will probably take about 3-5 min-
utes, if the campus has decided to
salt the walks and steps yet But
what I do, and what Public Safety
hope 1 don't is park by Ralston any-
ways. And yes, they ticket my car
every day, sometimes two or three
times a day, and I pay.
Now will five minutes make a dif-
ference in a life, YES it will. We
need to be more realistic so, if your
money making project which is your
priority, making money or die life
some that you probably don't even
know? Well, the answer sounds
pretty clear to me.
Now back to die original point.
Who can get a permit, only those
who turned one in last semester, or
have not had any so far. For all the
people that have other permits, this
is a quote from the office of Vice
President Haberaecker who is in
charge of Finance & Administration.
"We can' t make an exception for one
without making exception for every-
one". So if you are in this situation,
write letters. Send e-mail, make
appointments with Dr. Haberaecker
at 218 Carrier, x2240. Let her know
that the policy is not fair.

We Make the "Call
From a Clarion Resident,
I read your article in the Clarion Call
about what to do with the theatre that
closed. I feel happy about the new
theatre at the Mall- but also sad about
the closing in town. For one thing
transportation is an issue. So many of
die students' don't drive. Plus wid-
ows, and I am one, that don't drive.
I recently saw on TV where a the-
atre closed and they made a mini mall
which sounded great. We need more
shopping stores in Clarion.
Also- maybe a skating rink would
be nice.
Thanks for my opinion.
In response to your Call article
Why not a "play it again" movie
theater? Granted it will need some
(much) renovating, but why not
have some second time around
movies or foreign films shown on a
regular basis for lower prices.
Children's matinees at low ticket
prices on Saturday afternoons would
be wonderful. Remember... there
used to be a few G rated movies
around.

"Agentle, soft-voiced
woman of 28, Yue Ma
has accomplished a
great deal"
Lara Hauer
Yue Ma leaves the familiar,
dynamic city of Beijing, taking a
plane to the United States for the
first time. After her arrival at the
Pittsburgh airport, she takes a lim-
ousine to Clarion. Driving into the
countryside, she looks out the win-
dow to see rolling hills and pas-
tures, realizing that she is entering
a very different world.
Yue Ma describes her first
impression of Clarion, "It's so
tiny!" She motions with her
hands, moving them close togeth-
er to indicate the small size of the
town. She says that she is from a
"huge city," Beijing, with the pop-
ulation of about 10 million. She
emphasizes that she experienced
'shock' when she first saw the
"tiny houses, the farms, the cattle,
the country."
She had never considered the
difference between the city and
the country, and that adjustment is
the hardest she has had to make.
The only picture she had seen of
Clarion University was on the
Internet, and she thought that the
campus was "very beautiful". She
compares her city of Beijing to
Pittsburgh, saying that Beijing is
"much bigger."
Yue Ma arrived in Clarion in
August of last year. Her first time
in a rural environment, she misses
"the convenience of transporta-
tion" most. She sometimes tends
to feel "trapped" here. Yue Ma is
still adjusting and says that "this
semester is better than last."
Clarion University was not Yue
Ma's only option. She applied to
five American universities, all of
which accepted her. Another one
of her opportunities was to study
in Australia, at the University of
Sydney, as part of an exchange
program. Yue "had to take many
tests," and was chosen from about
60 candidates for this program.
All expenses would have been
paid by the government.
Yue "gave up that opportunity to
come to America - for two rea-
sons." As she explains with inten-
sity: "First, I would have had to
first work for five years for the
government [in China], they
wanted me to serve them for five
years... and I couldn't leave, I
wouldn't be able to go anywhere."
She says, "I'm young, I did not
want to be stuck for five years. I
want to travel." Her other reason
for not wanting to go to Australia
is the accent, as she says. "I don't
like Australian English."
Yue is very independent and
believes that she has made herself
that way. She says that she wants
"to be a free person... but freedom
is not always easy." Living by
herself off campus, she says "I
have learned to do things on my
own ... without help from any-
one." She do6s miss her family
though and was able to visit home
during winter break. She says she
noticed something interesting:
when she returned to China, she
dreamed about America. When
she is in America, she dreams
about China.
A genUe, soft-voiced woman of
28, Yue Ma has accomplished a
great deal. In China, she earned an
undergraduate degree and taught
college English. She is also mar-

Editorial
"The house sits on 88
acres of land, and is
noticeable because of
the thatched-roof that
can be seen for miles. "
Tom Casey, Business Manager
In the fall of 1998 two of my
aunts embarked on a journey to
Ireland. My Aunt Sissy and Aunt
Hudden stayed with relatives in
Donegul, Ireland. The county of
Donegul was the birthplace of my
grandmother, Ellen Casey. On
this trip both my aunts had an
opportunity to visit the homes of
their parents, my fathers parents.
Through post cards and letters
home I recreated a condensed
version of my grandparent's voy-
age to America and their lives. I
was fascinated by this informa-
tion due to the fact that my grand-
parents died prior to the birth of
any of their children's children.
My father's side of the family is
of pure Irish descent. My grand-
father, Patrick Casey, came to
America in 1893, when he was 18
years old. Patrick's sister Ginny
McCullogh sponsored him; you
had to be sponsored by someone
already living in America. He
came from the county Tyromne.
The ship Patrick traveled on took
three weeks to arrive in America,
Patrick was seasick the whole
trip. My grandfather's house still
stands in Tyromne, Ireland. My
Aunt Sissy visited the house
described and said, "The house
sits on 88 acres of land, and is
noticeable because of the
thatched-roof that can be seen for
miles."
My grandmother, Ellen
McCarry, she came to America a
year prior to Patrick in 1892.
Ellen's sister Katherine Browne
sponsored her, Ellen was known
by all as Nillie. Nillie came to
America from the county of
Donegul. Little is known about
Nillie 's voyage. My Aunt, on her
most recent trip to Ireland, dis-
covered, through the help of a few
cousins, the home of her mother.
My aunt describes the house as
having dirt floors, a slate roof and
Murphy beds. Murphy beds are
beds that pull out from the wall.
Patrick and Ellen were married
in 1919. They met each other at a
dance. My grandfather made a
living delivering milk for the
Surplee Milk Co., then for Bond
Bread and later for Chesterbrook
Farms as head deliveryman. My
Father was the youngest of eight
children, (four brothers and three

ried. She describes her husband as a "career man" who is always "so busy".
She says that "he supports me a lot."
Yue misses buying Chinese products. She says that in American stores,
"you can only buy American-made things." She is able to cook some
Chinese meals, though, which is one of her favorite pastimes. She also likes
to read books and watch television; she describes herself as a "quiet" person.
Working at Clarion University's Writing Center, Yue Ma is building com-
munication and writing skills while earning money to help fund her own
education. She is not receiving federal aid to pay for her schooling. Working
toward her master's degree in English, she plans to graduate in May 2000.
Yue Ma works with, and among, American students. Her job at the Writing

Center requires her to read students' papers and tutor in writing, often a chal-
lenge since the papers are written in her second language. She says that, for
her, the "biggest problem is the vocabulary." I have often heard Yue asking
other students for definitions of certain slang words. She says that "there is
a lot of Ameican slang... and people talk so fast." but she says that now, she
is "getting used to it."
In China, Yue Ma studied English for about 16 years. She earned a
degree in English language ;md literature at a Foreign Studies University.
She also took courses in foreign culture, learning about American cus-
toms and history, as well as studying some French.
Yue enUiusiastically emphasizes that studying abroad is a "very worth-
while experience," and she is "learning new tilings, new ideas." She says
that in an English speaking country, she is "forced to speak the language"
and is immersed in the English culture and "language environment." She
is getting the experience that she could not get in China, where her
English courses were taught in Chinese.
She is also learning many details that she would not have learned in
China. She gives an example of a novel she is reading for one of her lit-
erature classes: Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. She remembers learning
about the Depression in Chicago when she studied in China, but now it is
much more "real" to her.
Yue wanted to study the English language, but she did not consider
studying in England. She says that Americans seem "more open-mind-
ed" and English citizens seem "more conservative." She says that now
she can also learn and compare "what is good in your culture, what is
good in my culture, and what is bad in your culture, what is bad in my cul-
ture."
After Yue has earned her degree at Clarion University, she plans to work
toward her doctorate in America. She will eventually return to Beijing.
She thinks that she will someday return to teaching English in China, but
she would first like to expiore her options.
She wants to "graduate early" because she is, it seems, eager to leave
Clarion. Yue is a city girl, not used to the rural life. She finds a small
town like Clarion "unstimulating" and stagnant. In Beijing, she says,
there Is "something new out there every day, it is challenging just being
there... in Clarion, I feci in my heart mat it is the same every day."
Yue's plan is to work hard, pay for her education and keep going until
she gets to "the most highest one," then get a job and "enjoy life," she
shrugs and smiles. Her ultimate life goal is to travel. She looks off
dreamily for a moment. "I want to see die world," she says, and adds after
a moment of thought, "especially Egypt, Greece, and Italy "

Civility
Divtffsity
by Sally Jo Bronner
Director of Training and Diversity Programming
Institute for Cultural Partnership, Harrisburg
>•••«•■••••■•«•■••••••••••■
■••■•••••••••■•••••••••■■■••••••••■•I
The Institute for Cultural Partnerships (a.k.a. ICP) is a
Harrisburg based non-profit organization whose mission
is to help individuals and organizations live, learn and
work in our increasingly diverse society. There are three
main divisions to ICP; a folk life division that is dedicat-
ed to the preservation of folk arts and folk culture, a
refugee division that provides services for refugees and
recent immigrants, and our education division which is
the nearest and dearest to my heart. We develop and
facilitate diversity, conflict resolution and sexual harass-
ment workshop to educators and organizations through-
out PA.
At a recent speaking engagement, I was asked to talk
about how and why civility is so important, and why the
Pennsylvania climate is so challenging for diversity. So,
I had first had to make sure I knew what the word civili-
ty really meant. Webster's dictionary says that civility is
an act of politeness or courtesy. And, that Civility is also
the root word for civilization. Both of these were fine
with me. Civility is definitely something that we need
more of.
But I'm a little shaky on what a civility code is for.
More specifically, before I go on, I'd like to hear from
you:
What are the specific issues that you want to address with
a civility code? I assumed, when I thought about what I
wanted to say tonight, that you were hoping to reduce
intolerance and promote diversity, inclusion, acceptance,
respect, all those good words.:. I'd like to offer you my
perspective on how to address these issues. They're hard,
they require, work, commitment and perseverance but
that's why you're the group to do it.
Our goal should be inclusion. When I say inclusion,
what I mean is a community in which all of its members
are accepted, respected, .welcomed, and the unique con-
tributions of these members are recognized as enriching
the entire community. Acting respectfully and with civil-
ity should be a byproduct of achieving inclusion.
We don't need to police the intolerant behavior in our
communities, we need to change it. You are the agents of
change on your campuses. You have the power to make
your campuses a safe place for all of the students who
attend your colleges. Pennsylvania's institutions must be
environments in which all people feel comfortable and
are encouraged to reach their potential.
Sally Jo Bronner 's article on Civility and Diversity
will continue in next week's Call. This series will
continue through the remainder of the semester.

The coalition has received a
$1,000 contribution that it hopes
to use to counter hate group activ-
ity. The contribution stemmed
from a court sentencing of a man
convicted in an attack.
The assault was thought to be
racially motivated, but according
to Shropshire, the assault could
not be classified as a hate crime
because it did not meet all the
legal guidelines.
However, now-retired Judge
Charles R. Alexander gave the
defendant a choice. He could pay
the court $2,500 or donate $1,000
to a civil rights organization.
Shropshire said he hopes the sen-
tencing will set a precedent.
The coalition meets as necessary,
which is about six or seven times a

Grant helps ACES kick off new joint program
by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor
The new Academic and Career
Essentials for Success, (ACES),
has begun the first year of pro-
gramming from a grant funded
through the State System of Higher
Education. ACES is a program run
between Advising Services and the
Undeclared Advising Services
Center (U-ASC) program.
The program is run by two grad-
uate assistants, who take students
through the process in the class-
room through a formal presenta-
tion. Sandy Anderson is a gradu-
ate assistant from the
Communication department, and
Kim Ferris is from the
Communication Science Disorders
department.
Students are also able to keep the
binder which contains information
including registering, advising and
counseling services, activities,
financial aid, and career decision
making questions.
The program is targeting incom-
ing freshmen who come through
the Writing I classes. The assis-
tants take time and go into each
class to speak to me students. The
program is not given to students at
orientation because of the massive
amounts of information that they
already receive. Students getting
the information after classes have
started showing a greater interest
in understanding and have a better
idea of what to expect from the
program.

The binder is divided into many
parts outlining the major points
that students always have ques-
tions about, from registering to
choosing a major.
"It helps the students look year-
to-year and see if they are adhering
to the guidelines set for mem,"
said Anderson.
In one portion of the binder there
is an Academic planner where stu-
dents keep checklists for their
major. Students also have access to
a list of majors and minors.
The career planning section dis-
pels the myths associated with dif-
ferent majors. The program walks
them through a career decision-
making process and helps the stu-
dents choose a major, create a plan,
and determine the path mat the stu-

SSHE studies
workforce needs
HARRISBURG--The State
System of Higher Education's
Board of Governors has approved
a nine-month study to be under-
taken in consultation with various
state agencies and private indus-
try groups to identify educational
and training needs of
Pennsylvania.
The study will produce a report
that will include recommenda-
tions on new programs State
System universities could offer to
help address the workforce
demands of companies in high-
tech and other emerging indus-
tries in the Commonwealth.
Those recommendations will
include ways the universities can
work together to develop joint
programs.
Among the groups that will be
invited to participate in the
process will be the state depart-
ments of labor and industry, com-
munity and economic develop-
ment and education, the
Pennsylvania Business
Roundtable, Pennsylvania
Chamber of Business and
Industry. Pennsylvania
Manufacturers Association, the
Governor's Office of Policy and
Planning. Human Resource
Investment Council. Technology
2 1 , and Team Pennsylvania.
An advisory cabinet will meet
periodically to guide the study. It
currently is designed to include
three members of the Board of
Governors and representatives
from each of the other groups that
will participate in the study. The
cabinet is expected to be in place
by mid-February and will help
finalize a work plan.
The study is to include inter-
views with the chief executive
officers of the 25 largest corpora-
tions in Pennsylvania and up to
25 additional CEOs of small to
medium-sized companies.
Focus groups with regional rep-
resentatives of senior human
resource officers representing
diverse sectors of the
Pennsylvania business and corpo-
rate communities also will be
conducted.
It is anticipated that the final
report will be presented to the
Board of Governors in October.
The recommendations will then
be considered as part of the State
System's ongoing strategic plan-
ning process.
"The State System wants to be
more responsive to the needs of
Pennsylvania employers," said
Chancellor James H.
McCormick. 'Through this nine-
month study, we hope to learn
more about the workforce needs
in the Commonwealth and what
we can do to help ensure they are
met. We want our students to be
well prepared to enter the job
market after they graduate and to
be able to serve the needs of soci-
ety into the 21st century."

ADEPTTI $7,000 in grants benefit CU
faculty, from Page 7.
"Technology Scaffolds: A case study based teach-
ing." This project uses case studies to solve prob-
lems related to reading and is divided into different
sections between graduate and undergraduate stu-
dents.
Two people from each section work on a case
study, allowing the section to be linked through the
technology needed to complete the project.
According to Jolley, the money from the grant
allows the recipients to buy a scanner so they would
be able to scan the studies into the computer and to
create a Web site over the summer. Jolley said she
hopes the project will help the students "see tech-
nology as a tool to foster communication." In the
future, Jolley hopes to expand the project and share
it with others outside of Clarion.
A total of $4,394 was awarded to Dr. Sharon
Challener and Dr. Sanjay Rebello of the physics
department for the project, "Development and
implementation of Web based instructional material
for introductory physics courses." The project was
designed to create an interactive Web site to allow
high school and college students to increase their
computer skills.
Rebello said he thinks that students will retain
concepts better once they are presented with the
visual aids that computers offer. Challener and
Rebello said they intend to use the funds from the
grant to buy computer software and hardware as
well as computer books to help them create the Web
site and help pay their salaries in order to create the
Web site over the summer.
Dr. Vickie Harry, interim Associate Dean of the
College of Education and Human Services, Dr.
William Barnes, Dr. Steve Harris, and Dr. Martha
Ritter of the biology department, and Dr. Joyce
Overly of the chemistry department were awarded
$867 for their project. The project is "Development
creative computer learning tool software for basic
courses in biology and chemistry."
The grant was used to purchase a scanner, books
about using computers in the classroom, and soft-
ware that allows the user to create concept maps
and flow charts. The project "gives the students
more opportunities to use computers in a meaning-
ful way," Overly said.
Along with Clarion University, a total of $12,958
was awarded to faculty members at Edinboro,
Slippery Rock, and Indiana University of
Pennsylvania. ADEPTT is funded by a $500,000
grant from the Bell Atlantic Foundation.

Hot to trot
Clarion gets a taste of the world with the Globetrotters
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
There were hundreds lined up
outside the Tippin Gym, young
and old alike. Fathers held their
little girls' hands while teenagers
shivered in the cold, regretting
having left their jackets behind in
the car. All eyes were on the
gigantic bus that had just pulled
up to the gym.
"It's the Globetrotters!"
squealed a young boy no older
than seven.
The doors to the bus opened and
a haggard group of men stepped
off. No, they certainly weren't the
Harlem Globetrotters. They were
probably the New York Nationals,
the hopelessly outmatched crew
strung together to provide a shred
of opposition for the world most
famous basketball team.
The Nationals fight an uphill
battle every time they step onto
the court against the
Globetrotters, whose lifetime
record as of their recently-played
20,000th game was an intimidat-
ing 19,668-332. When you con-
sider the fact that one of the
Nationals' best players in Elwin
McRoy, who stands at an impos-
ing 4' 10, the Globetrotters'
Clarion game had "romp" written
all over it. Not that it mattered to
the crowd packed into Tippin
Gym on February 24. After all,
they came to see the unique blend
of sportsmanship and mayhem
that the Globetrotters have
brought to fans around the world.
Finding faces of CUP students in
the midst of the crowd was like
playing a hopelessly overwrought
game of "Where's Waldo?"
Families were everywhere, with
young children sprawled across
the bleachers staring at the court.
After a short performance by the
so-called "world's most famous"
(and unintentionally frightening)
mascot, Globey, the Trotters took
courtesy of the Harlem Globetrotters
The Harlem Globetrotters brought their world renouned act
to Tippin Gym on February 24.
the court with the type of fanfare
that could perhaps only be topped
by the Second Coming. Loud
horns and inspirational music
blasted during the team introduc-
tions while each Globetrotter
smiled and mugged for the crowd.
The Globetrotters then went
through their "Magic Circle" drill,
which gave each player a chance
to show off his skills at perform-
ing various basketball tricks, to
the tune of their official theme,
"Sweet Georgia Brown."
Paul "Showtime" Gaffney, the
team's captain for their Clarion
appearance, was a constant ball of
energy, torturing opponents with a
variety of cruel pranks while mak-
ing life miserable for the referee, a
high-strung Mills Lane look-alike.
Throughout the show, the crowd
reacted warmly to "Showtime",
who helped to pump up the spec-
tators as the Will Smith song
"Men in Black" blared in the
background.
"Come on, everybody!"
Gaffney said from the court, clap-
ping his hands while encouraging
everyone in the stands to do die
same. Few people could resist.
When "Showtime" talks, you best
listen.
The game followed the
Globetrotters' usual pattern of five
minutes of basketball per quarter
followed by ten minutes of referee
sanctioned insanity. Gaffney, who
strode the court with a small
microphone attached to his uni-
form, generally harassed everyone
on and off the court, even the
game announcer. However, the
brunt of Gaffney 's humor was
inflicted upon poor Elwin McRoy
of the Nationals.
"Somebody step on the midget!"
Gaffney constantly screamed as
McRoy tried to plow his way
through to the basket.
Late in the game, Gaffney "bor-
www.clarion.edu/thecall
rowed" (i.e. stole) a purse from a
young lady in the audience to use
as part of a comedy bit. When
asked by the referee which white
lady he took the purse from,
Gaffney grinned and gave the
response everyone was expecting.
"I don't know, ref! They all look
alike to me! said Gaffney, much to
the delight of the crowd. It's an
old joke, but it's one that's always
worked well, especially consider-
ing the Globetrotters' longstand-
ing mission to shatter stereotypes
wherever they appear.
Even with the amount of nation-
al attention that the Globetrotters
have received for most of the
organization's 72 year history,
many casual fans are unaware that
the team was created to provide
opportunity for African American
basketball players, who weren't
allowed in whites-only profes-
sional basketball leagues.
Founded in 1927 by Abe
Sapertein, a 24 year-old Jewish
immigrant, the Globetrotters were
originally named the Savoy Big
Five as a tribute to their sponsor, a
popular ballroom in Chicago.
Despite experiencing racism and
oppresion, the Big Five stayed
together, eventually changing
their name to the Harlem New
York Globetrotters to emphasize
that they were an all-black team.
The original Globetrotters line-
up were shutUed from game-to-
game in then-owner Saperstein's
rickety Model T Ford, trying des-
perately to prove to their racist
detractors that they weren't
"inferior". Fortunately, today's
conditions are much more com-
fortable for stars like "Showtime"
Gaffney, "Curley Bob" Johnson,
and Orlando "Hurricane" Antigua.
With a huge worldwide following
and immense public support, it's
easy to see the Globetrotters have
risen to heights Saperstein never
dreamed they would.
Some purists downplay the
Globetrotters for playing what
they call "fake basketball," but
"Showtime" Gaffney and the boys
are the real deal. Last October the
Globetrotters went to Beirut,
Lebanon to challenge the top four
teams in the Lebanese Basketball
Federation. During each quarter
of the game, the Globetrotters
faced a different LBF team,
including the defending league
champs. Despite having the odds
stacked against them, the Trotters
were ahead on points at the end of
every quarter and went on to win
the game by almost 50 points,
with a final score of 120-71.
The fledgling Lebanese
Basketball Federation might not
provide the type of tough opposi-
tion provided in the NBA but that
hardly detracts from the
Globetrotters' past successes in
dealing with major teams. Perhaps
the defining moment in the team's
history was on February 20, 1948,
when the Globetrotters narrowly
defeated the World Champion
Minneapolis Lakers and leg-
endary center George Mikan by
the score of 61-59. One year later,
the Globetrotters won a rematch
with the Lakers, 49-45.
Marques Haynes, one of the
Globetrotters' key members dur-
ing those wins, was recently elect-
ed into the Basketball Hall of
Fame, joining other former
Globetrotters, including Connie
Hawkins and Wilt Chamberlain,
who have been similarly honored.
Renowned as one of the greatest
point guards ever, Haynes'
innovative, high-speed dribbling
style electrified fans and paved
the way on the Globetrotters for
star dribblers like Curly Neal and
Curley "Boo" Johnson, who near-
ly stole the show at Tippin Gym.

Poetry Review
An Evening of Avant-Garde
Entertainment
by Jen DeFazio
Clarion Call Staff Writer
On Saturday, March 13, peo-
ple poured into Michelle's
Cafe to hear the poetic words
of Joel Dailey and the musical
talent of Todd Whitman, Greg
Pierce and Michael Johnsen.
The Clarion County Arts
Council presented "An
Evening of Avant-Garde
Entertainment" when poet Joel
Dailey presented some of his
work. People of all ages
crowded the cafe for an
evening of pleasure. Children
as young as five
accompanied their parents, and
many college students sat mes- "
merized by the words and
meanings of the poems. The
poems included such content
as sexual innuendo's, ideas on
where our future was heading
and the way society is today.
For the run of the mill poetry
reader, the content might have
been a bit confusing, but for
the arts lover it proved to be
very enlightening. Either way,
Joel Dailey's words hit people

one way or another and he
proved to be very illuminating.
After Joel Dailey's perfor-
mance, Todd Whitman, a.k.a.
"The Genius of Noise" hit the
stage to present his music.
From props such as saws, he
captured the complete atten-
tion of everyone in the cafe.

the show at Tippin Gym.
An eleven year Globetrotters
veteran, Johnson is regarded as
one of the best dribblers in the
sport. Early in the game,
Johnson's lightening-like drib-
bling awed the crowd, setting the
mood for a memorable evening of
sports and comedy.
The Trotters' resident slam-
dunk phenom, Michael "Wild
Thing" Wilson, could seemingly
do no wrong. Wilson, co-holder
of the official world slam dunk
record at 11' 11", made any bas-
ketball he touched instantly sorry
that it had ever left the factory.
His thunderous dunks received
huge ovations from everyone
except the poor New york
Nationals, who could only shake
their heads and prepare for the
nest comedy bit.
But not everything went exactly
as planned. "Showtime" Gaffney
tried repeatedly to make a behind-
the-back trick shot, coming up
short each time, much to the dis-
may of the sympathetic crowd,
gaffney simply shrugged it off,
blaming his missed shot on every-
thing from Curley "Boo" Johnson
to the basketball itself, it's highly
doubtful that anyone in the stands
cared about gaffney's missed
shot. With his omnipresent grin
and constant whoops and hollers
to distract the Nationals,
"Showtime" put on a truly charis-
matic performance, showing
exactly why he was named the
Globetrotters' Most Valuable
Player following their 1998 tour.
The game ended on a shocking
note when the Nationals sank five
straight three-pointers to win the
game at the buzzer. Just kidding,
the Globetrotters picked another
easy win, 88-65. It may have been
expeted, it may have been pre-
dictable, but long after the final
buzzer had sounded, the last auto-
graphs had been signed, and the
Globetrotters' bus had pulled
away, only one word could easily
describe the impact the game had
in the hearts if all the children
who witnessed it: priceless.
CU Speech
and Debate
team goes
bowl crazy
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
While most of you were fin-
ishing those pre-spring break
exams and homework, mem-
bers of Clarion's Speech and
Debate Team traveled to the
fifth Intercollegiate Ethics
Bowl in Washington, D.C.
After two months prepara-
tion, the team of Senior Pete
Sapp, Junior Allison Rilling,
and Freshmen Scott
O'Connell, Anna Gullickson,
Dani Stein and assistant Bri
Gibson were able to score 109
points over two rounds, going
up against Taylor University
of Indiana and a stand-in team
(since the University of
Colorado- Boulder was
unable to attend) comprised
of coaches and advisors from
other participating teams.
The tournament winner was
the United States Military
Academy at West Point.
Coach Anand Rao said he
was pleased with the team's
performance. While there
were places he would have
polished, he couldn't have
asked for more from his team.
After the competition, the
team took in some of the
sights, including Union
Station, the National
Archives, and the National
Art Gallery.
Coach Rao is optimistic
about attending next year's
Ethics Bowl. The only road-
block at this time, though is
location. "We're thinking
it'll probably be somewhere
in the middle of the country,
since this year it was in DC
and before that it was in
Dallas."

TAX ADVANTAGED SOLUTIONS FROM TIAA-CREF
IF YOU THOUGHT COLLEGE WAS EXPENSIVE,
TRY PUTTING YOURSELF THROUGH RETIREMENT.
Think about supporting yourself
for twenty-five, thirty years or
longer in retirement. It might be the
greatest financial test you'll ever face.
Fortunately, you have two valuable
assets in your favor: time and tax deferral.
The key is to begin saving now.
Delaying your decision for even a year or
two can have a big impact on the amount
of income you '11 have when you retire.
What's the simplest way to get started?
Save in pretax dollars and make the most
of tax deferral. There's simply no more
painless or powerful way to build a
comfortable and secure tomorrow.
SRAs and IRAs makes it easy.
SRAs - tax-deferred annuities from
TIAA-CREF - and our range of IRAs
offer smart and easy ways to build the
extra income your pension and Social
Security benefits may not cover. They're
backed by the same exclusive investment
choices, low expenses, and personal
service that have made TIAA-CREF the
retirement plan of choice among America's
education and research communities.
Call 1 800 842-2776 and find out for
yourself how easy it is to put yourself
through retirement when you have time
and TIAA-CREF on your side.

Music Review
'XTC proves to be just that, and Orton amazes
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call
Assistant Lifestyles Editor
You know, the old saying
"Absence makes the heart grow
fonder" is true. It's been 7
years since 'XTC's last album,
1992's sub-par Nonsuch, and
now they return with a complete
image overhaul here on their
new record, Apple Venus Vol. 1.
Their unabashed style of pop
has assumed a wide variety of
guises in the past 20 years
they've been around, from new
wave to bouncy guitar pop.
Now they've set down the elec-
tric guitars and enlisted string
and horn sections to create their
most intriguing outing yet.
The many lush orchestral
arrangements provide the per-
fect background for singer Andy
Partridge's songs, and it is their
most fully realized record yet,
not to mention one of their best.
The sound quality and produc-
tion is nothing short of impec-
cable. Apple Venus is even
being used as a demo disc for
high-end stereo systems.
The orchestra is best used in
the songs "Easter Theatre" and
"Greenman." which shows
'XTC delving deep into the
middle-eastern rhythms and
melodies they've experimented
with before, on albums such as
1989's Oranges and Lemons.
"Greenman" in particular is
excellent, as it is sweeping,
epic, and very Beatle-esque.
Lawrence of Arabia meets pop
music, if you will.
The more band-oriented tracks
are also excellent, and place
more emphasis on Partridge's
biting and funny lyrics. "I'd
Like That" is a quirky love song
filled with playful sexual
imagery. "Your Dictionary" is
one of the best break-up songs
I've ever heard, written to
Partridge's ex-wife. With lines
like "F-*-*-* is that how you
spell friend, S-L-A-P pro-
nounced as kiss" it manages to
be tongue-in-cheek and bitter
all at once.
The only weak point on the
album is one of two songs writ-
ten by member Colin Moulding.
While "Frivolous Tonight" is
wonderfully dumb fun, "Fruit
Nut" seems to have been left on
the vine a little bit too long. On
the whole though, Apple Venus
is very sweet to bite into, and
'XTC has received a 4 1/2 out
of 5 for this daring effort.
What do you get when you
cross a toothless, banjo-strum-
min', Ozark-dwellin' folkie
with a trippy, strung-out, Euro-
trash raver? I'm afraid to find
out, but chances are it would
listen to Beth Orton's music.
Playing to both the techno and
folk crowds is a tough gym-
nast's beam to balance, but
Orton does so with more skill
than Mary Lou Retton when
she's on with her new disc,
Central Reservation.
The only problem is, she can't
go to the extremes in either
area, only reaching truly
impressive results with the mid-
dle ground. Her true 'folk'
songs fail to sustain interest
past the first minute or so, and
the straight electronica tracks
sound like pretty basic, early
90's synth work. But whenever
the two styles are intertwined
on one song, the effect is mes-
merizing.
Her lush "folktronica" style of
music is absolutely spellbinding
when Orton gets the formula
just right. "Stolen Car" invites
you in with a simple acoustic
guitar, but soon rear-ends you
with brooding electro-bass lines
and heavier instrumentation.
"Sweetest Decline" starts off
like a jazzy Van Morrisson
song, with a gently rolling piano
and quietly strumming bass.
When Orton goes for more
techno, you'd wish she could
have found a better partner in
crime than 'Everything But The
Girl's Ben Watt. As far as the
electronica aspect goes, Watt
just isn't a master in that field.
You wish she would have enlist-
ed the help of friend and previ-
ous co-worker William Orbit.
Watt can't seem to find the right
programming techniques to
match Orton's mournful tunes.
That's not to say they are bad,
they just don't live up to expec-
tations set by her wonderful
1996 debut, Trailer Park. One
exception is the sincere sell-out
remix of the album's title track,
which sounds like it belongs on
Madonna's last album (pro-
duced by Orbit).
Orton's lyrical skills have
improved much on Central
Reservation. "I see your face
drive like a stolen car," is the
best metaphor for seeing
through a deceitful countenance
I've ever beard. Most of her
lyrics side on the darker side of
things, which works especially
on the trip-hop tracks.
Throughout the album, her
voice is strongly wavering (how
about that for an oxy-moron?)
and brings even the spaciest of
songs back down to earth.
Overall, Central Reservation
is a mixed bag. It's not a bad
album unless compared with the
brilliance of her debut. On my
five star rating system, Beth
Orton has earned a 3 out of 5.

by Lori Imbrogno
Clarion Call Staff Writer
What's the new form of exer-
cise everyone is raving about?
Tae-bo, a combination of self-
defense, boxing and dance
moves, which together provide
a total-body aerobic and toning
workout.
Recently developed by seven-
time world martial arts champi-
on Billy Blanks, Tae-bo has
become one of the most popular
ways to get in shape. With no
complicated choreography to
learn or expensive equipment to
buy, it is both easy to follow
and inexpensive, yet it is con-
sidered one of the most motiva-
tional exercises around.
With its recent addition to the
variety of aerobics classes
offered here at the university,
many students have taken Tae-
bo and found it an enjoyable
way to stay active. "I think of
it more as having fun than exer-
cising," says Gretchen Geer a
sophomore here at Clarion, "but
it really works you, and it's
tons of fun." "And because it's
so fun," she adds, "I can stick
to it, and I'm losing weight."
Tae-bo has also been consid-
ered "a great way to get out
stress and aggression."
Instructors sometimes even
encourage class participants to
imagine someone they dislike
standing in front of them when
throwing punches. For many
students, using Tae-bo as a
stress-reliever reduces tension
toward classes and quarrels
with friends.
"I would highly recommend
Tae-bo to people of all fitness
levels," says freshmen Cindy
Hartman. "It's an excellent
way to get in shape or stay in
shape, and because it's not bor-
ing, you want to go back."

Clarion Baseball
opens 1999 season at
Cocoa Expo, Florida
Courtesy of Sports
Information
Clarion University's 1999
Baseball season opened on
Saturday, February 27 at the
Cocoa Expo, Florida with games
against Catholic University,
Wilkes, and Delaware Tech. The
10-game trip culminated on
Friday, March 6 with a game
against Baruch.
Last year Clarion was 15-20
overall and 4-15 in the rugged
PSAC-West. The Golden Eagles
set a new team record with a .34 1
batting average. Graduating from
that team are first baseman and
1997 NCAA batting champion
Chad Chelbowski (.444 in '98),
outfielder John Williams (.457),
second baseman Chris Pfeil and
designated hitter Jeremy Young
(.343).
The 1999 outlook? "Experience
wise, we are a young team, "
noted Clarion's veteran head coach
Rich Herman. "Losing four quali-
ty hitters will be hard to replace.
But with this year's team, I like
our blue collar approach to every-
thing we do. We have a group of
players who have worked hard and
are willing to pay the price to be a
winner. Game experience and
self-confidence are always key
factors with young teams. But
even more important, I think, will
be a focus and discipline every
time we hit the field. Good habits
breed success," Herman added.
The Clarion infield will be
anchored by the return of junior
shortstop Justin Nash (Ellwood
City/Riverside). Around the horn.
the battles show sophomores John
Mozzocio (Newcastle) and Nate
Seegers (Murrysville) dueling at
first base. Sophomore Ray
Sadowski (Farrell/Hickory) and
red-shirt freshman Mike Brown
(Bellefonte) are at second, and
junior Ed Zollinger (Lower
Burrell) and red-shirt freshman
Brian Shaffer (Erie-Central) are at
third. Freshman George Strieker,
anchors the infield. Last year he
hit (.313, 30 of 96) with 15 rbi's, 6
doubles, 2 triples and 1 homerun.
He has a career average of .301 (46
of 153).
Veteran's returning to try gaining
a starting spot include sophomore
Brian Lucas (Hermitage-Hickory)
and juniors Kristian Schmader
(Lucinda-North Clarion) and
Deacon Steel (Ft. Washington-
Upper Dublin). Also expected to
battle will be junior Jeff Stanyard
(Enon Valley-Blackhawk) and
freshmen Jeff Brzezinski (Erie-
Cathedral Prep) and Brian Sten
(Washington-Trinity).
The catching chores will see
junior Tom Kaliszewski (Erie-
Iroquois), sophomore Mike
Morgan (New Castle) and red-shirt
sophomore Jason Haefner (Seneca
Valley) seeing time.
Pitching will undoubtedly play a
major role in the Golden Eagles'
success in 1999. Seniors Travis
Jordon (Beaver Falls-Blackhawk),
Chris Draxinger (Verona-
Riverview) and Mark Wells (Erie-
Cathedral Prep) return from last
year's starting rotation and expect
to lead the way.
Senior pitcher Mike Rasmussen
is out for the year after an off-sea-
son shoulder surgery. He is
expected to return in 2000. Also
sitting out this year is Junior Ed
Surrena.
The PSAC will use wood only
for its conference games this year.

Clarion Softball looking to
improve their season
Courtesy of Sports Information
The Golden Eagles opened their
season February 28 with a double-
header against Florida Tech, and
played a total of eight contests
until March 5 against Delaware
Tech.
Clarion comes off a rough 5-30
season and 0-20 mark in the tough
PSAC-West, which included
national champion California
(Pa).
The Golden Eagles lost 16 of
their games by three runs or less
and saw only 1.57 runs per game
cross the plate in 1998. The team
posted a meager .186 batting aver-
age and a team earned run average
of 4. 15, but has high hopes to turn
those numbers around in the com-
ing months.
The outlook for this 1999 sea-
son is one of excitement and opti-
mism as an extremely young
squad will be on the field. As
many as six freshman will be the
starting lineup for Clarion,
Only six players return from last
year as the roster is comprised of
only one senior, one junior, four
sophomores, and ten newcomers.
"The turnover from last year was
expected, but I was able to recruit
and bring in some quality fresh-
man to the team. It doesn't both-
er me with how young our team is
but I am realistic about every-
thing. I am confident about the
freshman as I feel they are an elite
group and should be fine,"
Gusdey said.
The biggest area the softball
team will look greatly improve
from 1998, will be on the offen-
sive side. Clarion hit only 28
extra base hits, a .260 slugging
percentage, 64 walks to 159
strikeouts and 19 stolen bases go
with the .186 batting average.
Clarion will look to improve
its success in the PSAC-West
from a year ago. California, the
defending National Champs, and
IUP are expected to be the top two
but according to Gustley it is a
toss up after those two. "I feel if
we are mentally prepared as I
want the team to be then we
should do alright and win our
share of game this year," Gustley
added.
The young Eagles squad should
be nothing less than exciting to
watch for the 1999 season and an
up and coming team of the future
in the PSAC.

NCAA titles
by Lori Hynes
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Last week, the Clarion
University Women's Swimming
and Diving team competed in the
NCAA Division II National
Championships.
Clarion came in fourth place
with 370 points behind National
Champions Dury College with 613
points, North Dakota with 603.5
points, and Truman State with 406
points.
Senior Christina Tillotson and
Junior Nikki Diloreto both came

Champion) with a time of 2:06.03.
Tillotson placed second in the 400
Individual Medley, third in the
1650 and fourth in the 100 breast-
stroke. Tillotson ended her

American, the maximum possible,
and a 5-time NCAA Champion.
Nikki Diloreto won the 200 yard
Breaststroke with a time of
2:19.50, making her a two-time
NCAA Champion.(That time beat
her previous Clarion University
record of 2:21.41.) Diloreto also
broke the school record in the 100
Breaststroke with a time of
1:05.20 placing her second. Nikki
is now a 14-time All-American.

This past winter break, eight
members of the Recreational
Outdoors Club enjoyed the near
perfect skiing conditions of Stowe,
Vermont.
Arriving on Sunday, we were wel-
comed by a few rain showers, but
they didn't last long and nobody's
spirits were dampened. Everyone
was ready to hit the slopes bright
and early Monday morning.
During the rest of the week we
enjoyed many snow storms which
left us with fresh powder just about
everyday. The energetic spirit of
the club members was a catalyst for
trying new things.
Even with the occasional bruises
no one became discouraged. Some
brave souls even tried their luck at
snow boarding and enjoyed it
immensely (and have the wounds
to prove it.)
Overall, everyone enjoyed the
break and escape from the monoto-
ny of everyday life.
* A special thanks to Steve who
organized the entire trip and made
it a winter break we won't soon
forget.

The Clarion Ice Hockey team
lost a hard fought battle Monday
night, 3-1 against Phoenix.
Clarion was short-handed in the
first period when Bill Friedline got
a penalty for roughing at 14:30.
Clarion also had a man advantage
that they were unable to capitalize
on.
Drew McWilliams said, "Even
though we lost, the team played
well together despite a restructur-
ing of lines due to injuries. The
rest of the season looks hopeful
from here on out. I guarantee us a
playoff appearance."
There was fan support at the
game, but more would be greatly
appreciated. Anyone interested in
attending games, call Drew

Sweet Sixteen field full of surprises
by Jason Dambach
Contributing writer
Matchups: (1) Connecticut vs. (5)
Iowa; (6) Florida vs. (10)
Gonzaga
If you're sitting there looking at
the NCAA Tournament bracket
(you know the one that you were
so sure of last Thursday prior to
the start of the big dance) and
you're wondering how in the
world it ended up like that, join
the crowd.
Here's a look at the four
regions:
South Region (Thursday and
Saturday at Knoxville, TN)
Matchups (Seeding in parenthe-
ses): (1) Auburn vs. (4) Ohio
State; (2) Maryland vs. (3) St.
John's
Simply put, if Maryland would
not have played in the ACC
(hence two losses to Duke), they
likely would have been the top
seed in the South. Nonetheless,
the Terps still have to be consid-
ered the best bet to reach the Final
Four. Maryland is not only
extremely explosive, but is
incredibly balanced with "Mr.
Highlight" Steve Francis, Laron
Profit, Terrell Stokes, and
Terrance Morris all capable of
taking the game over.
Auburn's seeming lack of
respect stems from the fact that
they lost their three most difficult
games this season — twice to
Kentucky and a road loss at
Arkansas. The Tigers' front court
tandem of Chris Porter and Bryant
Smith will need to continue to
play big for their team to reach St.
Petersburg.
St. John's produced perhaps the
most impressive performance at
the second round, an 86-61
thrashing of Indiana. To beat
Maryland, freshman point guard
Erick Barkely and power forward
Tyrone Grant must defend and
rebound well respectively, while
super sophomore Ron Artest
needs to light it up. A win over
Maryland would make the Red
Storm the favorite to advance
from the South.
Ohio State is powered by the
nation's best back court residing
anywhere outside of Durham, NC
in Scoonie Penn and Michael
Redd. A win over Auburn is pos-
sible, but a second victory over
Maryland or St. John's is unlikely.
West Region (Thursday and
Saturday at Phoenix, AZ)
Nobody doubted that
Connecticut was the favorite to
advance to St. Petersburg from the
West region prior to the tourna-
ment. What everyone was doubt-
ing was that it would be easy,
especially with Stanford and
North Carolina lurking in the bot-
tom-half of the bracket. But with
the losses by those two teams and
the loss by a dangerous Arkansas
team, the result is a four-team
field that resembles the "UCONN
Invitational" more than the West
regional semi-finals. If Jim
Calhoun's Huskies are unable to
advance to the Final Four this sea-
son, after three times being elimi-
nated in the Elite Eight round pre-
viously, don't expect them to ever
make it. UCONN has all the
ingredients for a national champi-
onship: A top notch point guard
(Khalid El-Amin), a big-time
scorer (Richard Hamilton), a
potential double-double scorer
(Kevin Freeman), and defensive
specialist that can score (Ricky
Moore and Jake Voskuhl).
Iowa is certainly not a push
over, but the Hawkeyes will need
a big game from either point
guard Dean Oliver or small for-
ward Jess Settles. The UCONN
game will likely be the last for
Head Coach Tom Davis, who was
forced to resign after 1 3 seasons
effective at the end of the season.
Florida's appearance in the
Sweet Sixteen is reminiscent of
the Gators' tournament run in
1994 that culminated in a Final
Four appearance. A Final Four is
likely in the Gator's future— just
not this year. But with freshmen
Mike Miller, Ted Dupay, and
Udonis Haslem on board for three
more seasons, the future is bright.
Many people want to slap the
"Cinderella" tag on Gonzaga, but
before accepting that title, keep in
mind that the Bulldogs spent time
in the Top 25 polls this season.
Guards Matt Satangelo and Richie
Frahm should lead Gonzaga past
Florida before bowing to
Connecticut in the Elite Eight.
East Region (Friday and Sunday
at East Rutherford, NJ)
Matchups: (1) Duke vs. (12) SW
Missouri State; (6) Temple vs.
(10) Purdue
The idea that this entire basket-
ball season has already been con-
ceded to Duke isn't entirely far-
fetched. Duke has not played a
close basketball game since
defeating St. John's in overtime
on Jan. 24. In fact, Duke was
probably disappointed to find out
that they would not have the
opportunity to avenge their only
loss of the season, a loss against
Cincinnatti in the Great Alaska
Shootout in November, when the
Bearcats lost in the second round.
Oh well, demolishing Southwest
Missouri and either Temple or
Purdue will have to do. The only
suspense will be whether or not
Coach K will be able to get scrubs
J.D. Simpson and the Caldbeck
brothers to all score baskets.
Southwest Missouri State may
not have a chance at upsetting
Duke, but they will have the
opportunity to prove that it is pos-
sible to hang with the Blue Devils,
at least for a half or so. Head
Coach Steve Alford, the hottest
coaching prospect on the block,
impressively played two different
styles in the Bears' two victories.
They held Wisconsin to a tourna-
ment record-low 32 points in the
first round in a defensive struggle,
then hammered Tennessee 81-51
in an up-tempo affair. Keep your
eye on guard Kevin Ault and cen-
ter Danny Moore.
Temple is always the team that
nobody wants to play, just ask
Cincinnati. Point guard Pepe
Sanchez is the leader of an Owls
team that should return to the Elite
Eight. Expect tomorrow's game
with Purdue to be played in the
50's, due to the hellacious Temple
defense.
The fact that tenth-seeded
Purdue has advanced to the round
of sixteen is a shocker. The

first round of the Big Ten tourna-
ment to Michigan. Don't expect
the same kind of performance out
of Purdue that they gave last
Sunday in their 73-63 upset of
Miami.
Midwest Region (Friday and
Sunday at St. Louis, MO)
Matchups: (1) Michigan State vs.
(13) Oklahoma; (3) Kentucky vs.
(10) Miami (OH)
After escaping last Sunday's
close call against Mississippi,
Michigan State is now two victo-
ries away from returning to the
Final Four for the first time since
Magic and Larry were co-eds in
1979. Point guard Mateen
Cleaves is the best in the nation at
dishing the basketball, while
super sub Morris Peterson, the
team's leading scorer despite not
being in the starting lineup most
of the season, provides the scoring
punch. Oklahoma will test the
Spartans, but a matchup with
Kentucky looms in the next
round.
Kentucky may have stumbled
more this past regular season than
we are accustomed to seeing, but
after sweeping through the SEC
Tournament and the first two
rounds of the big dance, the
Wildcats are eyeing their fourth
consecutive Final Four appear-
ance. As long as big men Jamal
Magloire and Michael Bradley
hold up their end of the deal,
expect Kentucky to head to St.
Petersburg.
When talking about Miami of
Ohio, everyone quickly loves to
bring up the name of superstar
Wally Szczarbiak, and rightfully
so. He was a one-man show in the
Red Hawks first round victory
over Washington scoring 43
points and blocking the potential
game-tying shot. But if "Wally
World" is going to shock the real
world, guards Damien Frierson
and Anthony Taylor will need to
step up their games another notch.
It should be fun to watch
Szczerbiak match up against
Kentucky's Scott Padgett tomor-
row night.
Oklahoma was the last team to
reach the NCAA tournament and
had Illinois been able to complete
their run in the Big Ten tourna-
ment the Sooners would be play-
ing in the NIT Sweet Sixteen.
Their hopes rest on the shoulders
of forward Eduardo Najera, who
had huge games in wins over
Arizona and North Carolina-
Charlotte. The Sooners have
enough to shock Michigan State,
which is not out of the realm of
possibility.
By this time next week, we
should be talking about Duke,
Maryland, Connecticut, and
Kentucky playing for the national
title.

'The first draft of Clarion University history.
Room, Board rates will rise again
• Clarion students will
face a $200 room increase
and a 2.26 % meal plan
hike next Fall.
by Mark Strieker
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Students living and eating on campus will
pay more next year, while the cost of student
health care will go down. The Board of
Trustees approved an increase in room and
board and a decrease in the health center fee.
The room rate will increase a total of $200 a
year. Dr. George Curtis, vice president for stu-
dent affairs, said that $120 of the increase is
"to continue bathrooms, window, and furniture
upgrading in the high-rise residence halls."
Curtis said the other $80 will be used to fund
an upgrade in the electrical systems in the res-
idence halls.
Board will increase 2.26 percent. The new
meal plan fees are $706 per semester for the
standard 19-meal plan, $867 for the 19 -meal
plan with flex dollars, $842 for the 14-meal
plan with flex, $683 for 10 meals with flex and
$484 for five meals with flex. Curtis explained
that the increase is necessary to recover costs
affected by the Consumer Price Index. Last
year, board increased 2.32 percent.
Curtis said that the combined cost of room
and board is "the lowest combined in any four-
year school in the Commonwealth," and that if
no other school raised their rates, Clarion
would still be the third lowest. However,
Curtis said Clarion would probably still be bet-
ter than that because other schools will most
likely increase their rates too.
The health center fee will decrease $20 a

Clarion Call News Editor
Student journalists are bright,
connected, and they have the
facilities, ability, and resources
to directly impact their audi-
ence - the community, said
Lockwood Phillips, president of
the National Newspaper
Association.
Phillips, stressed that college
students are not just residents of
the campus, but are apart of the
community. He feels that they
should be fully informed about
all campus related crimes, "It is
a fundamental right, not a priv-
ilage."
Phillips adamantly declared
that universities should be
focused on providing students
and parents the necessary infor-
mation about campus crime,
instead of worrying about
masking the truth to allow
enrollment to rise.
The NNA president believes
that failure to provide crime
information to students is a
malfeasance, is unethical, and
immoral. "Students are told by
their universities to be responsi-
ble... failure to provide students
with this information takes
away the students' ability to be
responsible. "

Will room and board
hikes improve CU?
CU is raising its room and board rates, once again, for
the 1999-2000 school year. But, if the University does-
n't start becoming more competitive, it will be losing
out to competitors like Eagle Park.
We believe that the student body would be more
receptive to the increases if they knew exactly what
they would see changed. Students like to see immediate
changes to make the increases worthwhile.
Sure, Clarion still has one of the lowest room and
board rates in the state system, but, combined with the
extra fees that other schools don't have, the increase
offsets the trend among the schools.
Additionally, CU residence halls are not equipped
with twenty-four hour computer labs, food pubs, or pri-
vate bathrooms that many other schools have.
And, an increase in board rate? For what? Certainly
not for the quality or convenience. If you want conve-
nience, you have to go to a local fast food chain, but we
can't use our meal plans their like other schools permit.
We are aware that their needs to be an increase to off-
set the cost of living prices, but to what degree?
Are students aware that they pay much more into flex
plans than the $100 they actually get?
This means that students use out all of their flex
almost mid-way trough the semester and then can pur-
chase an extra $25 or more later on? How fair is this?
If the prices were kept more competitive, then the stu-
dents wouldn't have to purchase additional flex dollars
at the cost of their parents?
In the race to keep students on-campus, students are
being lured off-campus by simple luxuries that the resi-
dence halls don't offer. So, CU, let's make this increase
worthwile and start looking at what the students want —
also to put us back on the competitive edge with recruit-
ment.
Your Views
Water in the face of The Clarion Call
This letter is in response to your
sports article titled "Tillotson and
Diloreto Capture NCAA Tides". I
applaud these women, but what
about the lone representative of
the men's team. Ken Bedford? I
was very upset to read this article
and see only three sentences about
Ken. The article was a very
biased against all the divers, per-
haps suggesting that diving is not
as important as swimming.
To those divers who represent
Clarion University at Nationals,
diving is a huge part of their life.
To see their school paper barely
recognize them is an injustice,
Ken Bedford also won an NCAA
tide, but why was his name not
mentioned in the title of the arti-
cle? Nothing was said about
Ken's past diving accomplish-
ments. For future reference he is
a three time NCAA champion and
has been an All-American eight
times, the maximum possible for
divers.
Perhaps the writer of the article
is biased because she herself is a
swimmer. Maybe she does not
care about the five divers, four of
whom also earned points toward
the 4th place girls finish. The
Call tends to be unbiased, but
this entire article was very biased.
I feel that something needs to be
done about it.

Bedford's title not in Call's spotlight
I am writing in respone to the article, "Tillotson and
Diloreto Capture NCAA Tides." I cannot believe that
I am reading an article with such sexist undertones in
it, in the Call. Just from the tide, the author down-
plays the fact that a male member of the diving team,,
won a NCAA title. The author, a member of the
female swim team, mentions past swimming history
of the two female swimmers that captured titles, but
failed to mention that Ken Bedford is a three time
NCAA champion or that he has been an All-
American eight times (which, by the way, is the max-
imum times a diver can be an All-American). The
author did not mention, either, that Bedford took year
off from diving and still won the title - is this not
impressive enough to mention? Does the author not
view his achievements as exciting and impressive as
those of Tillotson and Diloreto. The female divers
who attended nationals had their points listed along
with their achievements - Ken Bedford did not.
Bedford worked just as hard as the swimmers and
divers who attended nationals but his win seemed to
not be as important as theirs. Did his NCAA cham-
pionship not mean as much as the Tillotson and
Diloreto's did or is the author suggesting that men's
diving is not as important as female swimming and
diving?

" Vie Hebrew word
'Seder' in English
means, 'Order of
Service."'
Erik Richman
The Passover Seder
Every year my family gathers to
celebrate the holiday of Passover.
Passover, which is eight days in
length, always falls around the
beginning of spring. The dates dif-
fer from year to year as a result of
the differences that exist between
the Christian calendar and the
Jewish calendar. On the eve of
Passover, my family and I go to my
Aunt and Uncle's house to partici-
pate in the family ceremony called,
The Seder. On the second day of
Passover my parents, my sister, and
I perform a second Seder at our
home.
The Hebrew word Seder in
English means, "Order of Service".
The purpose of the Seder is to
revive, and to relive the miraculous
events which led to my people's
exodus form an ancient land of
slavery. The ultimate goal of the
Seder is to provide its participants
with the feeling that they, were
brought fourth from slavery.
As a young child, the Seder gave
me the ability to conjure up a clear,
and vivid, image of the Passover
story: So vivid, that oftentimes
children from my neighborhood
would ask me to recite the story to
them. Maybe they'd ask simply
because they got a kick out of lis-
tening to a seven-year-old, redhead,
with a speech impediment get all
worked up telling a story. But nev-
ertheless, I retold the story of
Passover with the same rigor and
passion that were present when it
was told to me at the Seder.
Planning a Passover Seder
requires a great deal of preparation.
The first step is to give the house an
intense cleaning. My sister Rachel
and I usually pulled dust duty,
which paled in comparison to what
my mother would be doing to get
the kitchen ready. The cabinets had
to be emptied and scrubbed; regular
dishes and silverware were put
away and replaced with dishes that
were used solely for Passover; all
foods that are not Kosher weree
discarded. My dad even clears out
his bar, restocking it with kosher
wines and liquors. In order for
foods and wines to be Kosher they
must receive a Chief Rabbi's
endorsement, and they must be free
of grain.
On the first night of Passover my
Aunt and Uncle host the Seder at
their house in Long Island. "Adam,
Jill, David, Rachel, Erik come on
upstairs it's time for the Seder," my
Aunt Susan would yell. After
trudging up the stairs the rest of the
children an I would fill in the empty
seats at the table. My Aunt Susan
would always go all out, creating a
joyous environment fit for The
Seder. The sparkling chandelier
hanges a few feet from the festive
floral centerpiece, reminding me of
Spring's arrival. At the table my
mom would lean over and inform
me that I am allowed to recline and
relax during the ceremony because
Passover is a celebration of free-
dom. I made sure to take full
advantage of my new found free-
dom by kicking off my shoes and
leaning back on my chair.

". ../ would like to
share with you some
of my fondest memo-
ries of my families
past Easter traditions. "
Lori Matachak, Sports Editor
For my first editorial as a member
of the Call executive board, I fig-
ured I would write something fes-
tive since Easter is on its way.
With that, I would like to share
with you some of my fondest
memories of my family's past
Easter traditions. Every Easter
Sunday when we were younger,
the day started off with my brother
waking me up at about five or six
o'clock in the morning to go search
for our Easter baskets. Due to my
parents hiding them in the most
hardest places, we eventually had
to wake them up for some help
because we thought the Easter
bunny had forgotten us. Finally
after my sister would get out of
bed, the hunt began.
I remember some of the places
were our baskets were bidden: in
the dryer, the stove, the dish wash-
er, under the sink, in a closet-
always the last place to look but
the most creative. Soon after the
three of us would find our baskets
(and eat a good deal of candy) the
Easter egg hunt was next on the
agenda.
My dad still tells me to this day
that he always had to help my
brother and sister get some eggs
because I was too quick at getting
at them. Obviously they never got
as many as I did, but then again
their eggs were not cracked and
broken like mine were.
My dad would constantly say to
me during the hunt not to throw the
eggs in my basket and of course, I
did not listen. At the end of every
. hunt, my dad always ended up eat-
ing all my cracked and broken
eggs. He even said that is probably
the reason why I have such high
cholesterol now."
After all the excitement had
ended from the Easter egg hunt, it
was then time to get ready to go to
church. My dad told me that one
Easter my mom had bought my
sister and I matching hats to wear
to church. The hats that we had
were made with a ribbon sewn the
entire way around with a part of it
hanging off. The flopping of the
excess ribbon annoyed me and
with that, I could not stand wearing
it.
After many pictures were taken,
mostly with the hat off, It was
then time to go to church.
On the way there, and

RICHMANI Family traditions of the Jewish 'Seder' bring out images of Passover, from
Page 3.
My Popa Jack, the leader of the ceremony, sits at the
head of the table. On this night, my normally reserved
Popa possesses the charisma of a king. In front of my
Popa sits a Seder Plate, a large brass platter. On this
plate rests all the main symbols of Passover. The first
symbol is three Matzos, flat, unleavened bread. When
eh Jews were making their hasty departure from Egypt
they did not have time to allow the bread to rise. This
unleavened bread they were compelled to eat is both
"the bread of affliction," and "the bread of freedom."
The second symbol is the Roasted Shank Bone. The
Roasted Shank Bone reminds us of the Paschal Lamb,
which our ancestors ate at the great Temple in
Jerusalem on the Passover holiday. The third symbol is
the bitter herbs, which reminds us of the bitterness of
slavery that our ancestors were forced to endure.
After my Popa explained the significance of the three
symbols of Passover he would ask everyone to rise to
recite Kiddush. Kiddush is a Hebrew prayer recited
over bread and wine.
The second ceremony of the Seder is known as
Urchatz, which means, "Washing of the Hands." This
ceremony is an act of purification; it is performed
before the start of the religious Service. My cousins
walked around the table allowing everyone to pour
water over their hands into a bowl.
Following the "Washing of the Hands" is the reli-
gious portion of the Seder. There are several tradi-
tional rituals that are performed at the Seder. Everyone
seated at the table is given a Haggadah, which is a
book that takes you through the Seder.
Early into the Seder we would arrive at the ceremo-
ny of "The Four Questions." I eagerly awaited this
part of the Seder, for I knew that it was my job to ask
the questions. It is tradition that the youngest child ask
the four basic questions concerning Passover. I stood
up on my chair, cleared my throat and began firing the
questions at my Popa. The questions and answers are
as follows:
1 . "Why on all other nights we eat either Chomaytz
(bread) or Matzoh, but on this night we eat only
Matzoh?
"We eat Matzoh to remember that our ancestors, in
their haste to leave Egypt, could not wait for breads to
rise."
2. Why on all other nights, do we eat all kinds of
herbs, but on this night we eat only Moror?
"We eat Moror on this night to taste some bitterness, to
remind ourselves of how bitter is the lot of one caught
in the grip of slavery."
3. Why on all other nights, do we do not dip but once,
but on this night we dip twice?
"We dip twice in the course of this Service, greens in
salt water and Moror in Charoses, once to replace tears
with gratefulness, and once to sweeten bitterness and
suffering."
4. Why on all other nights, do we eat either sitting or
reclining, but on this night we eat reclining?
"To relcine at mealtimes in ancient days was the sign
of a free man. We recline to demonstrate our sense of
complete freedom."
My Poppa's answers to the Four Questions helped
me fully capture the meaning and importance of
Passover. The Servicee continued with the telling of,
"The Story of Israel in the Land of Egypt." By the end
of the story my youthful imagination had made me feel
as though I and been freed from bondage.
The Seder concludes with the raising of the Fourth
Cup of Wine. It is at this juncture of the Seder where
we look away from the past and towards the future.
Everyone would raise their wine glass in unison and
say, "Next year in Jerusalem!"
MATACHAKI Easter traditions bring our fondest memories of family festivities and sibling
bonding, from Page 3.
trying to figure how to remove the
ribbon off the hat, I ended up
pulling off the ribbon along with
unraveling the hat. It ended up

Civility
Diversity
by Sally Jo Bronner
Director of Training and Diversity Programming
Institute for Cultural Partnership, Harrisburg
In order to integrate the different groups on our campuses, we
must find common ground. And if we don't find common ground,
we need to create it. If we are committed to eradicating hate on
campus, we can begin with a civility code, but we must be prepared
with a comprehensive action plan that supports our goal. Let me
make some suggestions for what that plan may include:
• We must raise awareness about "diversity." That diversity is
simply the things that make us different from one another including
places we grew up in, the ways in which we leam (some of us need
only to read things to remember them, others of us need to read,
then write then repeat things so that we remember them), the abili-
ties and talents we have, the likes and dislikes that we have. This
is all diversity. If people are made aware that diversity means race,
and much more, and they understand how their individuality con-
tributes to diversity, their attitudes and behavior may change.
Workshops that encourage this kind of thinking can be led by stu-
dents for students during orientation or throughout the school year.
Encourage administration and faculty to participate in workshops to
demonstrate their commitment to creating a safe place for all stu-
dents. The fact that we all contributre to the diversity of society and
that all students are entitled to a safe learning environment are the
underpinnings of work I do with educators across PA.
• As I mentioned about my H.S. experience, colleges need to cre-
ate opportunities for students from different backgrounds to work
together towards a common goal. These shared, meaningful expe-
riences will dismantle assumptions and stereotypes about others
and break down the boundaries between us. Student groups and
administration both need to create these opportunities.
• Challenge the administration and your professors to create learn-
ing opporunities for projects that integrate different groups and
communities.
• Lobby for opportunities to go into different communities for
projects that benefit the students as well as the community. Validate
these experiences through awards.
• Turn your campus into an environment that relfects diversity -
through exhibits, murals, celebrations of music and art.
• Don't let diversity lose its luster! Utilize campus media lor
ongoing dialogue- a regular column addressing diversity issues in
the campus newspaper, and announcements and discussion on the
campus radio station may keep students engaged.
• Create campus wide holidays that are celebrated through com-
munity service- No one is quite sure how to celebrate Martin Luther
King day, why not use that day, what a way to honor someone!
• Encourage all student grousp and activities to attract and recruit
students from different backgrounds. Forgive me for these
sterotypical examples but I think it may be appropriate here: Don't
allow the cheerleaders to be a group of cute blonde girls, don't
allow the debate team to be dominated by males, and don't forget
the Lion ambassadors- why are they predominantly female?
• Many campuses have created slick advertising campaigns to
encourage students of color to attend their college. But these same
administrations fail to create programming that suppors these stu-
dents. They fail to provide the kind of social support and infra-
structure that will help these students succeed. Lobby for the sup-
port you need!
• My last suggestions stems largely form my experience as a
diversity activist. It is: don't wait for administration to address the
problems of hatred and intolerance on you campus. Take action
now! Demand programming that supports diversity and inclusion!

Contributing Writer
The 16th Annual Women's
Conference, "Women's Stories,"
will be held this Friday and
Saturday in the Gemmell Student
Complex.
The conference is sponsored
every year by Clarion University
and includes workshops and pre-
sentations about women's issues.
Hilda E. Ward will be kicking
off the conference on Friday,
March 26th at 1 p.m., with her
presentation, "Journaling and Peer
Health Education: Helping
Students Reach In and Out."
Ward will also be available for
questions on Saturday.
The discussion is free to
Women's Conference registrants,
students, and the public.
Saturday, March 27th's activi-
ties will include a keynote address
and workshops addressing issues
from personal inner growth,
stress relief, working women,
and the court system.
This year, the keynote speaker is
Jeanne Marie Laskas, a literary
journalist who is a regular colum-
nist for the Washington Post , and
has contributed to magazines like
GQ, Life, Reader's Digest, and
the Philadelphia Inquirer
Magazine.
Ms. Laskas is a professor of
Creative Nonfiction in the gradu-
ate writing program at Goucher
College in Baltimore and received
her master of fine arts in non-fic-
tion is from the University of
Pittsburgh, and her bachelor of
arts is from St. Joseph's
University in Philadelphia.

the ordinary and the ordinary
within what seems to be extraor-
dinary. Also to her credit is " A
Century of Women." Currently,
Ms. Laskas is at work on her third
book, "Fifty Acres and a Poodle."
"We feel privileged to have
these two nationally-known
speakers," said Dr. Anne Creary,
co-chair of the Women's
Conference. "We are looking for-
ward to offering an environment
for exploring issues that are relat-
ed and important to women."
The Conference also includes an
essay contest that students were
able to enter to win up to $100 for
their effort to tell "Women's
Stories."
The winner of both the Marie
Spencer Hutchison Memorial
Prize for nonfiction-writing, and
the AAUW Writing Scholarship
for scholarly writing will be
announced at Saturday's luncheon
discussion.
The afternoon workshop topics
will include "Dynamics of
Intimate Interpersonal
Relationships," presented by
Trisha Sears and Cheryl Miller,
"Read My Lips... Hear Me
Scream!"
Carolyn Masters talks about the
journey from addiction to recov-
ery, "Muslim Women in the
Western Media," Dr. Dilnawaz
Siddiqui will discuss the unrealis-
tic image of Muslim Women pro-
jected by the media, and in
"Hearing our Fathers," Joan R.
Huber examines the traditional
role of the father.
After the workshops conclude,
the conference will move to
Moore Hall for a reception hosted
by President Diane L. Reinhard,

Expansion eyed for successful CU program
by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing^ Editor^
Making Connections, a commu-
nity learning program with an
interdisciplinary approach to
teaching, will grow to be one of
Clarion's most rapidly developing
programs over the next two years.
This approach, which ensures
that courses are not sequenced
into separate departments, are
combined into clusters of three or
links of two.
"Making Connections is a con-
stantly evolving program," said
Dr. Kristin Marshall, associate
professor of speech communica-
tion and theater and co-chair of
the program's steering committee.
"This is one of the few learning
community programs in
Pennsylvania, which makes it
quite special."
The program, designed in 1992,
is a better way for first-time col-
lege students to become acclimat-
ed to their new way of life. The
students enrolled in this program
take the same courses and live in
the same residence hall. The
courses helped these students
establish important connections
among the subjects that they are
studying, themselves, and the fac-
ulty members teaching the cours-
es.
The purpose was also for stu-
dents who entered college with an
undeclared major to take classes
where they could experience
something from different majors.
Also, the classes were guaranteed
to fit somewhere on any check
sheet.
The committee is chaired by
Marshall and Dr. Patrick
McGreevy, associate professor of
geography and earth science. The
committee also includes Dr. Anne

Sciences.
Beginning this year, the College
of Education and Human Services
is joining the College of Arts and
Sciences in teaching the program.
The current cluster groups
include:
• Approaching the Year 2000.
Problems and Possibilities, com-
bining speech communication,
sociology, and philosophy.
• Connecting Africa and the New
World, combining art, history, and
speech communication.
• Connecting Mathematics, Earth
Science, and Geography.
The current link group is:
•Connecting Computers with
World Issues, combining comput-
er science and history.
Beginning in the fall 1999
semester, two additional cluster
courses will be added.
• Sociology, literature, and multi-
cultural education.
Earth Science, mathematics,
and English.
The link courses to be offered
for the first time include:
• Philosophy and speech commu-
nication.
• Introduction to Education and
Philosophy.
• Digital art and design and
mathematics.
A returning link for the spring
2000 semester is:
• Science for the Human Good,
combining biology and ethics.
Faculty members interested in
teaching in the Making
Connections program should con-
tact Marshall or McGreevy.
"The program has received
a predominantly positive
reception over the years,"
said Marshall. "On a whole,
most of the participating
faculty members find it
worthwhile."

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This
story is continued from last
week's edition.)
Clarion University was recently
awarded a $330,500
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Link-To-Learn for Integrating
Technology into Teacher prepara-
tion (ITTP) grant.
Approximately 135 pre-service
teachers, 30 higher education fac-
ulty, 135 cooperating teachers,
and 4,050 students in grades K-12
are expected to be served during
the grant funding period.
Dr. Vickie Harry, one of the
grant's originators and interim
dean of the College of Education
and Human Services, said she is
working on the process of collab-
oration with University and area
school district faculty.
"I have been working with the
Riverview Intermediate Unit on
another project, and they have a
consortium of schools with whom
we had made contact in the fall,"
she said. "It was very easy for me
to contact them again and to let
them know about this wonderful
opportunity in technology. We
visited our school partners and
asked them to sign the partnership
agreement."
"We have 12 school districts on
board and all 12 of those school
districts have contracts with us as
student teaching sites," Harry
added.

matics Dr. Elaine Carbone, one of
the principal originators of the

year. The health center operated as an auxiliary facility in the past.
However the Board of Governors took health centers off the list of aux-
iliary facilities last year. Curtis said the decrease is possible because the
health center is now operating under non-auxiliary status.
The current health center fee is 3.9 percent of tuition. Next year it will
be 3.3 percent of tuition, bringing the cost to about $115. Curtis said
Clarion's health center fee is currently the fifth highest in the State
System. The decrease would make CV the seventh highest in health
center fees. Curtis said that other schools could possibly raise their fees,
which would give Clarion an even better ranking.

"Student journalists have a right
to be connected, informed, and edu-

He said student journalists are
"imperative" to the future because
they can impact and impmve the
quality of journalism. "Students
can teach other students how to read
a newspaper, " Phillips said. "They
can have a great impact on main-
taining the enterprise."
NNA is looking for college stu-
dents, he said, because of the contin-
ued expansion of community news-
papers. "They bring energy and a
new focus and they must be here for
the salvation of community papers,"
he said.
'We (NNA) need you and I want
you," he added. Phillips said stu-
dents and student journalists face
the same issues as older Americans.
"College students are not second

class citizens in their organization. "
College students will only continue
to grow in importance in the eyes of
legislation, Phillips noted. "They
are absolutely vital... this conference
is a great training ground for them
to learn the law."
Students are important to the
process of lobbying, which is meet-
ing with legislation to pass legisla-

in essence, and it is a right given to
us by the constitution... congressmen

Slippery Rock's new Recreation
Center slated to open in September
Slippery Rock's new Aebersold Recreation Center will not be
completed until Fall, according to director of campus recreation
Greg Sferra.
Sferra told The Rocket, Slippery Rock's student newspaper, that
there is not enough leadership being presented by the contractors,
and there is not enough communication between the working
crews. He said the three groups that work together on a daily basis,
the contractor, the primary contractors and the subcontractors, need
to increase the flow of information.
Sferra noted that the building should be completed by Sept. 28.
While work continues on the Center, Slippery Rock Senator Chris
Rolinson and Speaker of the Senate Clayton Wukich proposed a
decrease in the charges students pay to help in the construction of
the Recreation Center.
Rolinson made a motion at a recent Student Government
Association (SGA) meeting to drop the fee for students from $65
to $47.
Rolinson claims that the decrease is possible because the Center
already receives $250,000 per year from SGA Bookstore profits
and that money, Rolinson said, is the students'.
According to Rolinson's formula, if the $250,000 is added into
the equation, students would then only have to pay a $47 fee — sav-
ing students almost $20 each semester.
Cathy George, cooperative activities business manager, claims
that although it has not been documented in the minutes of SGA
meetings, the $250,000 allotted from bookstore profits was
approved several years ago.
The issue was tabled for further discussion at the SGA meeting
on April 6.

Addition to Millersville's science
building won't be ready until Fall
When construction began on the addition to Roddy Science build-
ing in September 1997, it marked the first new building to be con-
structed at Millersville University in 25 years.
As of the upcoming fall semester, students will finally begin to
use the new building which has been structurally complete since
the end of the Fall 1998 semester.
According to previous articles in The Snapper, Millersville 's stu-
dent newspaper, and local newspaper reports, planning for the
building, which carried a $12 million price tag, actually began
nearly 10 years ago after there was a noticeable increase in the
number of science majors.
Because of this increase, the administration determined that a
new building would be required, not only to house these students
but also to provide new technology for experimentation for all of
the science departments. Funding for the project was provided
from various areas.
The Commonwealth, as part of the Shared Cost Capital
Construction Project Program, provided $7.47 million, plus an
additional $1.5 million for engineering and architectural costs. An
additional $145,000 was provided by the National Science
Foundation's Academic Research Infrastructure Program, with the
remaining costs to be taken care of by the University and private
funding sources.
Although problems occurred because of both a change in state
administration and inflation, problems were worked out according-
ly and funds were released in October 1996.
The new building, which will house the nursing, meteorology and
physics departments, will officially open on or about July 1999.

Auburn editor is the talk of her campus
by Christine latum
College Press Exchange
AUBURN, Ala. (CPX) --
Depending upon whom you talk
to, Lee Davidson is one of the best
or worst student editors ever to
lead a campus newspaper.
Her work has forced just about
everyone at Auburn University off
the fence of indifference; folks
either love it or hate it.
Yet her supporters and critics can
agree on one thing: Davidson and
the rest of the staff of The Auburn
Plainsman have taught the state of
Alabama — and a few fraternity
boys in particular — a thing or two
about free speech and the power of
the press. The lessons learned
from this story inside a story could
result in a complete overhaul of
the structure the university estab-
lished to govern its student news-
paper.
"We never realized what a big
deal all of this would become,"
said Ching Wei-Tzeng. a member
of the university's student commu-
nications board, which felt the
wrath of the Alabama Press
Association in January after decid-
ing to censure Davidson.
Faced with a possible lawsuit
over First Amendment rights, the
board wound up eating more than
a few of its words earlier this
month.
Davidson and her colleagues
wound up smack-dab in the mid-
dle of controversy last fall after
running several stories and editori-
als about the role university trustee
Robert Lowder might have played
in the midseason resignation of
head football coach Terry
Bowden. The Plainsman quoted
other trustees and faculty mem-
bers who charged that Lowder. a
wealthy banker and million-dollar
donor to the university, used his
money and influence to force the
resignation.
The paper's sources grumbled
that it certainly wasn't the first
time university decision-makers
had kowtowed to Lowder, prompt-
ing Plainsman reporters to figure
out why. Their research revealed a
convoluted web of personal and
professional connections suggest-
ing what critics of the Auburn
board of trustees have said for
years: Lowder has a voting bloc
of the 12-member board and. pos-
sibly many state legislators, in his
back pocket.
To make its case, the Plainsman
published a story carefully track-
ing trustees' voting records and
their relations outside of the
boardroom. For example, the
paper revealed that one trustee
borrowed a sizable sum from
Lowder 's bank, while another runs
a law office in a building Lowder
owns. Yet another trustee's wife
serves on the board of directors for
Lowder's bank.
The paper was also quick to
point out that Lowder's term
expired in 1995, and that for some
of students and faculty members,
adopted a resolution to censure
Davidson, claiming that she
repeatedly used bad judgment
when directing the Lowder cover-
age. They said that she over-
stepped appropriate boundaries
and had destroyed her credibility
and objectivity by printing unsub-
stantiated allegations. They even
faulted her for putting an editorial
on the paper's front page.
But, what really yanked the
It (Davidson 's story) was damn fine work, and
it was the first time I had ever seen that story in
print. Lee led the state press with that piece. 99
-Jerry Brown,
Head of Auburn's
journalism department
odd reason, Gov. Fob James' nom-
inations for Lowder's replacement
have been consistently killed in
committee meetings before ever
reaching the state Senate's floor.
"The first time I read it, I almost
dropped my jaw bone," said Jerry
Brown, head of Auburn's journal-
ism department. "It was damn
fine work, and it was the first time
I had ever seen that story in print.
Lee led the state press with that
piece."
The Plainsman didn't stop there.
Disgusted that Lowder granted
interviews with the mainstream
press, but never returned the
Plainsman's calls, Davidson
ordered that a massive blank space
run on the front of the paper's Dec.
3 edition. Above her byline was a
headline that shouted "Speak
Lowder, We Can't Hear You.*"
"Our intent is not to confuse or
mislead with sensationalism,"
wrote Davidson in a letter to stu-
dents. "Our intent is to drive home
the importance of what this pivotal
man has to say in his own
defense."
That's when some members of
the university's board of student
communications decided they had
had enough. The panel, made up
chains of salty-dog reporters
throughout the state, was the
board's threat to fire Davidson if
she didn't start running the paper
to its liking. Attorneys for the
state press association wasted littie
time drafting a letter stating the
threat to fire Davidson had "cross
the line into the realm of civil lia-
bility for violation of First
Amendment rights."
"It was enough to convince
Davidson's critics on the board to
revise and "tone down" their cen-
sure." Tzeng said.
"We just asked her to be fair and
not to make up news," he said.
"She was elected to her post for
one year... and she has no right to
be the single audiority for the
newspaper. She has to be held
accountable for something."
Whether or not the paper should
be held accountable to the student
communications board is now up
for debate. The board's 5-4 deci-
sion to censure Davidson has been
mired in a controversy of its own.
The dissenting votes came from
three faculty members and one
student journalism major. The
majority came from five stu-
dents — all of whom are connected
through ties to fraternities on cam-
pus and the student government
association, and none of whom
have ever stepped foot in a jour-
nalism class.
The board's decision further
smacked of cronyism when the
Plainsman learned that one of
Davidson's harshest critics sent a
fraternity brother to vote in his
place, rather than following the
established procedure of calling a
student who had been appointed as
an alternate to the board.
"It was just as bad as Lowder's
ties on the board of trustees,"
Davidson said.
"They were in it together, and it
didn't matter what anyone said,
they were going to do whatever
they could to get at me. No one
was going to break rank."
"Wrong," Tzeng said.
"It's just a coincidence that these
two fraternities happen to be very
involved on campus and happen to
play a prominent role on this
board," he said.
Coincidence or not, many jour-
nalism majors and their instructors
are asking why there's even need
for a student communications
board - especially given that the
Plainsman operates without the
help of school money. They're
also beginning to question why
Auburn is one of only a few
schools across the nation that uses
a general student election to find
an editor for the newspapper each
year.
"It's a violation of American
principle flat and simple," Brown
said.
The questions have sparked
meetings among school officials
and faculty members, who are try-
ing to determine how the student
newspaper should be run next
year.
By then, Davidson hopes she
will have found her first job out of
school.
"If anything, she should be
thanking us for turning her into a
First Amendment martyr," Tzeng
said. "She should be thanking us
for helping out her career and
putting her in the spotlight."

Clarion celebrates its cultural diversity
by Kelly Palma
Clarion Call Staff Writer
As soon as you entered the
Gemmell Multipurpose Room
you were transported to another
place-another world as a matter
of fact. The tour that would fol-
low sends you around the world
in a little over an hour.
The Spring 1999 Cultural
Night entitled 'The World In 60
Minutes' went off with only a
few hitches Friday, Mar. 19.
The format for this year's pro-
gram was somewhat like a news
program/talk show.
The hosts, Maria
Hadjifrangisko of Cyprus and
Adedapo Macaulay of Nigeria,
bantered back and forth intro-
ducing the segments and even
when things went wrong, they
were not fazed.
Another interesting aspect of
the program were the weather
reports before each segment.
Farhard Hussain and Marilena
Chrysanthou were truly the
comedic entertainment. They
were appropriately dressed for
whatever part of the country
your would be taken to next.
It's great to he able
to share and see that
there is an interest. 99
-Sissi Baumann,
cu student
from Sweden
Some of the more memorable
segments included: A
Traditional African Song, The
Sevillana, a traditional Spanish
dance normality done at wed-
dings or parties; a fashion show
brought to you by Reuben's
House of Fashion; an African
cultural dance, in which they
wore bells on their ankles.
The Sounds of South Asia
began with something that like a
warrior dance and ended with a
dancing medley that included
Will Smith and part of the
Grease Megamix, and the St.
Lucia celebration normally
done as a part of the Swedish
Christmas celebration.
After the presentation was
over, the audience sampled over
20 different types of food and
chatted with the different per-
formers.
Farhard Hussain said even
though there were over 400 peo-
ple in attendance, only 150 stu-
dents were there. The cultural
night was free, but donations
were accepted and International
cookbooks were also on sale.
The cultural night is part of a
semester long project. At the
beginning of the semester, all
the international students met
and start the planning.
Everyone I spoke with said they
enjoy doing the cultural nights
and many perform in them
repeatedly.
Sissi Baumann from Sweden
has been in a total of six cultur-
al nights. She had this to say,
"It's great to be able to share
and see that there is an interest."
KDKAI Pittsburgh television personality speaks with CU
students about news business, from Page 1.
stressed the importance of tenacity in applying for jobs right out of col-
lege. "If you don't really love this job.. .then get out," said Griffin.
Griffin gained national notoriety when he broke a story on Dallas
Cowboy Michael Irvin's cocaine purchase. Griffin, who was working
for a Dallas TV station at the time, received numerous death threats
stemming from the story. "People blamed me when Dallas didn't go to
the Superbowl."
After college, Griffin found himself accepting a job as a weekend
weatherman at a small station in Wichita Falls, Texas. Griffin said that
working in a small market allowed him to continue learning about the
business. "I considered it my graduate work," he said.
Sawyer, who grew up around Clarion, also stressed the importance of
getting experience working in a small market. Sawyer recently retired
from the news business in part because of frustration over the increas-
ingly straining pace of profit-driven news casts. "Their more focused
on putting out quantity than quality," said Sawyer.
"There are tilings about this business that are crazy," said Griffin, "but
it is a great adventure and I still love it."
Sawyer showed two pieces of his award- winning work. "You can tell
the whole story with pictures and sound," he said. Sawyer said that in
today's news business the lengthy stories that he liked to work on are
few and far between.
Griffin explained the importance of being an outgoing individual in
broadcast news. Griffin told members how he used to be shy. "Now if
you give me a microphone, I'll walk into the middle of a crack house."
Griffin's tenacity once led him into the eye of Hurricane Andrew.
Sawyer recalled his own harrowing experiences, being shot at in
Sarajevo and covering the crime beat in Baltimore.
Dana Graver, a sophomore communication major, said she enjoyed
the session. "I thought it was very informational, with lots of insight. I
was confused about what I should do after school, but he gave good
advice," said Graver.

I am currently a member of the Student Senate.
Being a member of Senate for the past year, I feel
I have gained a great deal of knowledge which
will allow me to be better prepared for the com-
ing year. I am the chair of the Rules &
Regulations committee. I am currently serving
on the Rec Center Furnishing committee. I am a
former member of the women's softball team. I
am a concerned candidate. I am willing to speak
out for others. I feel that I will do a great job. I
would appreciate your vote on election day!
The reason why I am running for Student Senate
is so I can become more involved with Clarion
University. In my range of activities I am in con-
tact with a variety of different students. With
that I feel that I would be able to represent a large
portion of the Student body and be able to make
effective decisions that would help move Clarion
into the next century.
I am running for Student Senate because I feel I
could be a positive asset. While being a member
of Alpha Sigma Tau, I have held executive board
jobs including Rush Director and President.
Being president has shown me, "United we
stand, divided we fall." I would seek initiatives
for the student body to communicate their
thoughts and I would make sure I am communi-
cating effectively with the Student Senate mem-
bers.

I feel that I would be a good candidate for
Student Senate because I enjoy interacting with
my fellow students. I am a Junior with a major
of business marketing. I would like to address
several issues on campus such as parking, the
food and prices at Riemer Snack Bar, and campus
safety due to the recent assaults around campus.

I have observe Student Senate and watched them
achieve the needs of Clarion University's stu-
dents. I believe that the students should have an
individual that is in their corner to help make
decisions and voice their concers and needs, i
will do everything that in my power to do just
that! I believe that it is important that the stu-
dents should feel comfortable talking to that rep-
resentative and I can be that the students opin-
ions and ideas into condsideration to make the
school more productive and satisfactory for fac-
ulty and students.
When asked to consider running for Student
Senate, I was a little hesitant, but after a lot of
thought I think that I would represent the student
body well. Being a member of the varsity softball-
team, working at the Book Store, and being
involved with PSEA keeps me busy, but it also
gives me a chance to interact with fellow students
to hear their comments and concerns. I would be
good relayer of incormation to students on campus.
I think that my involvement within the university
meets the standards of a good Student Senate rep-
resentative. I hope to represent Clarion well.

Running for Student Senate is something that I
thought about doing since last year. Only being
a sophomore this year, I realized that Student
Senate is something that I would like to be a part
of currently, I am a member of the varsity softball
team. I also have a work study job that puts me
in contact with many individuals. Through all of
this I hear opinions of fellow students, therefore
I feel as through I can represent the student body.
As a Senator, I will voice your concerns and share
your views. I am a student just like you, active
on campus, so I understand your concerns and
can connect with you. Being elected to the role of
senator will allow me to focus my strengths as a
leader and energy as an athlete, to enhance our
experiences here at Clarion. I will work with the
other senators to fullfill my duties and responsi-
bilities the job requires. ..While providing campus

I am a current member of the Student Senate
serving on the campus safety and health con-
cerns committee and also the student relations
committee. If re-elected I will continue to work
on dining concerns along with trying to find new
ideas with parking problems. I am a member of
the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity and a former
ClarionUniversity Football player. I was a vol-
unteer student assistant with the women's bas-
ketball team. These activities that I am involved
in allow me to hear many opinions from different
groups on campus. I would appreciate your vote
on election day.
§ituce Marley
The greatest task of Clarion University is to pro-
vide an excellent education and offer the envi-
ronment for social growth. We, as Student
Senators, can help this come true. I believe that I
would be on useful additon to them. I feel that it
is our duty to provide the students with the edu-
cation they want and the social interaction that
they need. We need to find the balance between
these two. With my help, I believe that we can!
I feel I am extremely qualified for the position of
Student Senator. I am a hard working individual
with unprecedented time management skills.
While playing football here at Clarion, I have
maintained a 3.65 QPA. I am a member of the
Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, and am
also a current Student Senator. As for where I
stand I can not tell right now; for I represent the
students' opinion, wants, and needs. So I will
have to wait till next year to find out what opin-
ion they want me to voice.
In my attempt to run for Student Senate this year, I
would like to base my platform on the following
issues: I would like to work with the University to
re-allocate budget funding to support smaller cam-
pus organizations. I would also like to find a
medium with the college about the resident park-
ing situation on campus. Also, I want to keep
Greek organizations on campus.

As an average student at Clarion University I
want to see it be the best it can be! I am willing
to give 110% to make this school a place we all
will cherish for the rest of our lives. I will work
hard to create more exciting activities to get more
students involved. I want everyone involved,
not only student but teachers. I believe if we all
help one another we will excel!
I am involved with several campus activities
including the Tri-Sigma sorority, Panhellenic
Council, and I work at the University Book
Center. Because I am responsible, reliable, and
manage my time well, I feel I would be a good
Student Senator. 1 would appreciate you consid-
ering me for a position on the Student Senate.
My name is Bill McWilliams and I'm running for
Student Senate because I feel that I can well rep-
resent the students of this campus. I am a mem-
ber of Theta Xi fraternity and I had various lead-
ership roles that I feel could help qualify me for
the leadership role of a Student Senator.
Some issues that concern me are the lack of park-
ing on campus, food quality in general, and cam-
pus safety.

During this past year as a Student Senator, I have
noticed the changes we as senators made. 1 feel
that we would be even more effective if were to
be more accessible to Clarion's students. If re-
elected, I intended to make students more famil-
iar with Senate and allow the two to become
more interactive. This will help foster better rela-
tionships as well as make this campus more tai-
lored to our needs.
Hello, my name is Erika Pidro and I am currently
a freshman. I would like to be a member of the
Student Senate because I enjoy being involved and
able to speak up and voice my ideas and opinions.
I feel that I am a very reliable student and could
handle the requirements needed to be a part of this
organization. I was involved in almost everything
possible in high school and still held a 3.8 GPA. I
was a member of student council which gave me a
lot of experience on how to work effectively
As a Student Senator I believe that the students
of Clarion would benefit because I am a very out-
going person who would ask the students what
they want. In addition I would put forth great
effort in being the best because personally I
would benefit from experience, and knowledge
gained

Student Senate Elections

My experiences this year as a senator have been
educational. Through the assistance of my fel-
low senators a lot has been accomplished and I
have learned many things about responsibility
and hard work. If re-elected I hope to apply
these things to next years duties and help make
Student Senate successful.
If elected to Student Senate, I plan to try and get
better quality and quantity of food at on campus
dining locations. I will aim for a wider variey of
choices, and the possible lowering of prices at the
Snack Bar. No longer will we have to pay more
than average prices, for less than average food.
I have been active in my fraternity and have been
an IFC representative for a year. In high school I
was active in many leadership positions. Both
my college and high school positions I held,
taught me parlimentary procedure. I want to
assume a leadership position within the univer-
sity and believe my previous experience makes
me a good candidate for Student Senate.

I am running for senate to continue to improve
the quality of life for the students. I have served
on Senate for the past semester as the Dining
Concerns chairman, I have helped improve one
of the student body's largest concerns and will
continue to do so if elected. I am also currently a
member of FMA, the Accounting Club/and the
Reserves. Through my activities, I feel I have the
needed leadership and communication skills to
serve the needs of the student body.
As I seek re-election to Student Senate Senate, I
promise to continue to voice the concerns of the
rest of the student body. Through my current
involvement on senate, the Board of Direcors,
and other activities, I have made many connec-
tions that will continue to help voice our con-
cerns about scheduling and dining concerns
which have been a constant focus of attention at
Clarion.
Running for Student Senate gives me the oppro-
tunity to become more involved with the com-
munity and the students here at Clarion. It is
time for the Univerrsity to realize that the stu-
dents are not here to serve them, but they are
here to serve us. It is our responsibility as college
students to come together and take a stand,
because we are tomorrow's future. Take charge
of your future and vote for me. Toghether we
can make a differennce.

Hypnotist Michael Anthony puts Clarion under his spell
by Jeff Chaffee

On Wednesday, March 17
the Clarion UAB hosted hyp-
notist Michael Anthony in
the Gemmell Multipurpose
room. Asking for some thir-
ty volunteers, Anthony then
put the volunteers under
hypnotic trance and the fun
began.

completely relax all the mus-
cles in their bodies, one by

and standing soon began

took them deeper into the
trance. Later on, he began to
have his fully awake, yet sill
"sleeping", volunteers acting
very different than they usu-
ally did.
One of the first tricks was
to convince freshman Mike
Weaver that he was unable to
stay awake for more than 10
seconds. And sure enough,
every ten seconds Mike fell
right out of his chair and fast
asleep.
Another involved freshman
Mindy Valdiserri,was told
that she would forget the
number six. Anthony then
had her count her fingers,
first normally (she counted
11, but saw only lOsince she
couldn't remeber the number
six), then by sets of two
(resulting in 12 fingers).
After that, Mindy was told
that she would forget her
name, which she did.
But it was all in good fun,
and as Michael told the
crowd beforehand, none of
the suggestions or forgotten
things would be permanent.
As a matter of fact, whenev-
er the volunteers had made
proper fools out of them-
selves, they were put back
under temporarily and told
"erase" so that no suggestion
could be remembered.
After an hour of fun with
his subjects, Michael then
went in for one final trick.
As he began to undo all the
past suggestions, he then
told the volunteers that they
wouldn't remember anything
that had happened.
Additionally, he said that
they would think that noth-
ing had happened and that
they couldn't be hypnotized.
But the final part to it was
perhaps the most clever.

I was a teenage
hypno-zombie; so
what was it like?
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
I was put under hypnotism by
Mark Anthony.
Well, first off, I have to say
that the entire performance was
in fact very real. Seriously. I
never met Michael Anthony
before, he didn't know that I
was with the CALL — there
were no cahoots going on.
Everything the audience saw
myself and the others onstage
reacting to was 100% real.
But what is Hypnotism, other
than about a 500-point
Scrabble word? Taken from he
Greek word for sleep
(Hypnos), hypnosis is a state
of relaxation in which the mind
is more susceptible to outside
suggestion than usual. The
first thing Anthony had us vol-
unteers do was to simply relax
all the muscles in our bodies
until we were totally "asleep."
With that term, let me now
talk about the misnomers of
hypnosis. First of all, the sub-
jects are NOT asleep. While
hypnotized, all the subjects
remain totally awake, just able
to fall off into their trance at
the mere mention of it.
Second, hypnosis is not perma-
nent. Using Michael's show as
an example, the trance you are
put in lasts only about 20 min-
utes if left unattended. And in
that time, you can only respond
to suggestions made by the
person who hypnotized you.
Finally, hypnosis is NOT by
any means a "black art" or
some type of occult practice.
In modern psychotherapy, hyp-
nosis is used to treat all man-
ner of bad habits and addic-
tions, including nail-biting and
smoking.

For Bastian and Kathryn,
spoiled young Manhattanites who
divide their days between drugs
and sex, twisting a young girl's
life in knots is a simple game,
something to do to pass the time.
The duo's causual attitude toward
their sickening hobbies mirrors
my feelings about 'Cruel

'Dangerous Liasons' . 'Intentions'

Kathryn (Sarah Michelle Gellar)
are step-siblings whose greatest
joys is making others feel their
misery. Since Bastian has man-
aged to seduce practically every
girl who's ever entered his life
(with the notable exception of
Kathryn), he's become bored with
his sexual conquests. However,
the step-siblings come up with a
twisted bet to add more intrigue to
their lives.
The bet centers around Annette
Hargrove, a young woman who
recently wrote an article in
Seventeen Magazine about her
plans to stay a virgin until mar-
riage. If Bastian doesn't sleep
with Annette, Kathryn will get his
vintage roadster. But if Bastian
does sleep with Annette. ..let's just
say that the best line of the film
came from Kathryn: "You can put
it anywhere."
While Bastian tries to worm his
way into Annette's heart, Kathryn
becomes obsessed with destroying
Cecile Caldwell (Selma Blair),
who unwittingly stole one of
Kathryn's boy toys. You can
probably guess what else happens
along the way. Bastian slowly
falls in love, Kathryn gets jealous,
etc.
The sad part is, the thrills in
'Cruel Intentions' aren't quiet
cheap enough to make the film
worth recommending. After
months of seeing the films' siz-
zling ad campaign, which played
up the most provocative aspects of
the film, 'Cruel Intentions' falls
kind of flat.
Sarah Michelle Gellar brings a
lot of sex appeal to "Intentions"
but little else. But even though
Gellar reads her lines like they're
printed on the side of a cereal box
she's far superior to Selma Blair,
who stumbles through most of the
film acting like the worlds' first
sexually aware two year-old.
Fortunately, Phillippe is appropri-
ately scummy as Bastian while
Reese Witherspoon adds a touch
of class to the proceedings as the

object of Bastians' relentless pur-
suit.
If you want to see young
Hollywood stars acting as sensual
as a "R" rating will allow, just rent
'Wild Things' and hold off on
'Cruel Intentions' until it hits
video stores. In the end, the most
diabolical thing about 'Cruel
Intentions' is the feeling I could
have more thrills had I stayed at
home and read a good book.

'Cruel Intentions', that is
exactly what it was, it wasn't
funny, it wasn't sexy, it was just
downright cruel. Sebastian and
Kathryn are two conniving
teenagers who badly needed a
dose of reality. I couldn't help
but think as I sat there through
the movie. Where the heck are
their parents! They plot and
scheme against everyone, even
eventually even backstabbing
each other.
Sebastian portrayed by Ryan
Phillippe did an excellent job of
portraying his emotions
onscreen. Kathryn, Sarah
Michelle Gellar could not equal
him in any way, but she still
gave a so-so performance.
Reese Witherspoon was a better
match for Phillippe 's Sebastian.
Their verbal sparring was one of
the few highlights of the film.
Another came at the end, when
Kathryn was served her just
desserts, all to the tune of The
Verve's Bittersweet Symphony.
It was a bittersweet ending to a
bittersweet movie.
The movie did however keep
me on the edge of my seat; I
never knew quite what would
happen. Suspense is always a
good thing in a movie, although
that is all that this particular
movie has going for it. While
the trailers really made me want
to see the movie, the movie
itself was somewhat of a disap-
pointment. The movie itself
seemed to be all talk and no
action. I thought it was rated
"R", they show more nudity on
primetime TV. I thoroughly
enjoyed the music however, so
the evening wasn't a total
waste. Fatboy Slim, The Verve,
Counting Crows, Marcy
Playground are all featured on
the soundtrack.
My advice is skip the movie
and buy the soundtrack. While I
do agree with Mr. Cody that
'Wild Things' was far superior
than 'Cruel Intentions'. I didn't
feel that 'Cruel Intentions' was
a total waste of time. It wasn't
oscar worthy, but it wasn't total-
ly worthless either. It was bit-
tersweet. According to
Webster's dictionary meaning -
pleasant but including or
marked by elements of suffering
or regret. I could think of worse
ways to spend an evening as for
Mr. Cody's remark that a book
would of been better. What
kind of books do you read Mr.
Cody? I'd like to borrow some
of them.

TJOTORTUNATEO; THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE
PUTTING TOO MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS.
Every year, a lot of people make a
huge mistake on their taxes.
They wind up sending Uncle Sam
money they could be saving for
retirement.
Fortunately, that's a mistake you
can avoid with SRAs— tax-deferred
annuities from TIAA-CREF. SRAs not
only ease your current tax bite, they
offer an easy way to build retirement
income — especially for the "extras"
that your pension and Social Security
benefits may not cover. Because your
contributions are made in pretax
dollars, you pay less in taxes now. And
since earnings on your SRAs are tax
deferred, your money works even
harder for you.
TocLy, we offer other before- and
after-tax financial solutions, including
IRAs and mutual funds. They're
backed by the same investment exper-
tise, low expenses, and personal
service that have made TIAA-CREF
the choice of Americas educational and
research community.
Why write off the chance for a
more rewarding retirement? Stop by
your benefits office or call us at
1 800 842-2776 and find out how
TIAA-CREF SRAs can help you enjoy
happier returns.

A
J
Broadway show.
The day began when three oth-
ers and myself were lucky
enough to receive four free tick-
ets from the producer of the
show. For me, this was the best
way I could have started off any
day.
As the day went on, the excite-
ment built up inside of me.
Growing up, "The Sound of
Music" was always my favorite
and Julie Andrews was such an
inspiration to me.
We arrived to the Martin Beck
Theatre at 7:00 to meet with the
producer of the show. He pro-
ceeded to take us backstage,
explain what everything was and
how it worked. The dressing
rooms were laced with costumes
everywhere and accessories
from bags and hats to shoes and
ties.
The maze that he led us
through continued on forever.
We saw how all of the scenes are
changed. The equipment was
amazing and the props were dec-
orated with the utmost detail.
He explained to us what all of
the monitors were for and how
the directors were able to control
the various props.
We then took a stroll across the
stage. It was a mind blowing
sight and feeling to know that I
was standing on the very stage
that Richard Chamberlain, the
star of
"Shogun" and
"The Thorn
Birds," had
and was going
to perform on.
As the show
opened,
unlike the
movie, all of
the nuns gath-
ered to talk
about Maria,
played by
Laura
Benanti.
The next
scene began
with the ever
so popular and
powerful song
by Maria,
"The Sound of
Music." Then
onto the song
"Maria"
which is sung
in the abbey,
by the nuns who were frustrated
by the absence of Maria.
As the show continued, the
cast tells the story of a young
and spirited Austrian woman
who is studying in the local con-
vent.
Shortly after Maria joins the
abbey, the Mother Superior, the
head nun, arranges for her to
leave the convent because she
feels Maria's calling is to be a
governess at the home of the
Baron Von Trapp.
Maria is sent from her so-
called home to a new place of
residence in a matter of one day;
changing her life.
Bringing laughter and song
into the house, Maria soon wins
the hearts of the children, and in
the end, the heart of the Baron.
This romance quickly won my
heart and I am sure that every-
one else in the audience was
moved by the drama and vocals
of this wonderful cast.
As I am sure, most of you have
probably seen the movie and
hopefully loved it. Nothing can
compare to the way the perform-
ers portray the lives of the Von
Trapp Family Singers, With the
melodies of Richard Rodgers
and the lyrics of Oscar
Hammerstein, the orchestra
helped to make this Broadway
show a performance that I will
never forget.

WCUC prepares for MHMR
by Jeff Say
Clarion Call
Lifestyles Editor
It's that time of the year again.
Yes the annual 91.7 WCUC
MHMR week is almost upon us.
What is MHMR, you may ask
yourself? It stands for the Clarion
County Mental Health and Mental
Retardation Charity. Every year
for the past 16 years WCUC has
held an annual 24 hour marathon to
benefit MHMR. The station
broadcast continuously for an
entire week as the d.j.'s take over
the airwaves for 24 hours at a time,
while accepting donations. The
station raises money mostly for the
drug and alcohol programs but it
benefits the whole organization.
This years marathon begins
Sunday April 1 1 at 9 a.m. and con-
tinues through Sunday April 18 at
9 a.m.
• •.••%«.%'
According to Steve Ostrosky,
program director of WCUC, the
station is putting its focus back on
the university. For the past few
years die community has been a
contributor to die cause while the
campus has been neglected.
Ostrosky says, "the campus must
play a more active role such as
playing the station in departments
and buildings." The station has
appointed a University chairperson
to address these issues. This years
chairperson, Michael Chapaloney
said that a lot of the University
doesn't know MHMR exists or
what it really is. "A letter of expla-
nation of the campaign will be sent
to administrators along with presi-
dents of campus organizations so
they can learn how to participate",
says Chapaloney. He also said that
the University is in a win -win sit-
uation. "They will be supporting a
good cause, supporting their stu-
dents and making a greater con-
nections with the community."
Besides supporting a local chari-
ty, WCUC is also offering its lis-
teners many incentives for tuning
in for MHMR. Giveaways such as
t-shirts, CDs, and food from local
restaurants will be given away dur-
ing contests throughout the week.
Ostrosky stated that WCUC is
working heavily with local busi-
nesses and record companies.
Movie passes from Destinta the-
atres will also be given away dur-
ing MHMR.
"A lot of behind the scene work
has gone into preparing for this
event," says Ostrosky, "WCUC is
proud that people are putting
together such an effort, raising
funds and awareness is our prima-
ry goal. We hope as many people
as possible will call, listen and
donate to help us reach our goal of
$1,000."

Greek Week excitement grows on Clarion's campus
by Laura McNally
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Greek Week. Why is this week-
long event held every year on
Clarion University's campus?
Mitchell Augustine, Interfraternity
Council vice president, commented
that Greek Week serves the purpose
of throwing aside any differences
between fraternities and sororities,
getting together to have fun and
meeting new people.
Greek Week, though, isn't just a
Clarion thing. Augustine went on
to say, "This does take place on
other campuses that recognize
Greek life. Some events are bigger
than others, but it all displays our
strength and camaraderie."
Since the system of fraternities
and sororities has been introduced,
Greek Week has been a large part of
Greek life. Augustine did add that
the some of the events are serious,
such as the Greek Bowl, however
there are fun, relaxing events as
well.
Ok, so you must be wondering
what events will be taking place
during Greek Week, right? Well,
wonder no more. After talking to
Jen Mathis, Greek Week Chair, she
explained what events would be
taking place during the week of
April 9 - April 15. It all starts off
with Greek Sing. This will take
place at the Marwick-Boyd
Auditorium at 7 p.m. April 1 1 is the
Greek Run, kicking off at 1 p.m.,
followed by Greek Olympics. All
of this will take place at the stadi-
um. On Monday, April 12, sorority
sisters will be playing flag football
at the Ralston Field from 5 p.m.
until sundown. Fraternity brothers
will be participating in Greek Lift at
the Tippin Gym. Greek Volleyball
is scheduled for April 13 at 7 p.m. at
the gym as well. On Wednesday,
April 14, Greek Swim will take
place at the pool. And finally, the
week will come to a close with
Greek (academic) Bowl, which will
be held on April 15, in the Gemmell
Multi-Purpose Room at 8 p.m.
Mathis did add that some people
show up to watch, and all are wel-
come to attend and support fellow
college-mates.
Upon interviewing a handful of
delegates from fraternities and
sororities, it became evident of the
general excitement about this event.
Tony Fisher, Greek Week Chair
for Sigma Pi, said that Greek Week
offers the community a better per-
spective of those involved in
Greeks. Fisher added, "Greek
Week is a friendly competition that
allows everyone who might not be
in athleucs to showcase their tal-
ents, and it provides a positive
image of the Greek community."
He also feels that Greek Week
allows for an opportunity to
become closer with the other frater-
nities because of the healthy com-
petition atmosphere, and everyone
cheering each other on. Fisher also
added a bit about last years Greek
Lift, saying how that brought
everyone a bit closer because it did-
n't matter what fraternity you were
in, everyone wanted to see some-
one lift 500 pounds.
"It's something you want to see,"
he said.
Jody Jovenitti, Greek Week Chair
for Alpha Sigma Tau, commented
on how sororities are able to spend
time together, thus bringing them
closer, especially during Greek
Olympics where everyone sits
together. All of the sororities
become closer, its not just you
becoming closer with the people in
your own sorority. "Greek Week is
one of the best things I like about
being in a sorority because I have
fun, and I think it would be fun to
just come and watch the events,"
she said.
Matt "Smooter" Smith, a brother
at Phi Sigma Kappa, said that
Greek Week allows everyone to
come together and show that they
are proud to be Greek. "For the
non-Greeks, it gives mem a chance
to see what we are all about," he
said.
Francine Gibasiewicz, Greek
Week delegate for Theta Phi Alpha,
added that sororities gain a lot from
Greek Week. She went on to say
that this event gives people a
chance to see what being Greek is
all about
Gibasiewicz also commented on
how it helps with the decision for
those who are interested in Greek
life. She does feel that Greek Week
brings sororities closer together
because while competing with each
other, they are really getting a
chance to get to know each other
better.
Tom Casey, a brother of Theta
Chi, added that Greek Week brings
a sense of school spirit to the cam-
pus. Casey also mentioned that this
event brings fraternities together
through the acknowledgment of
other people's abilities. However,
he did say, it is very diverse, its not
just athleucs.
Jen Roetter, Greek Week Chair for
Zeta Tau Alpha, added that Greek
Week shows the campus that Greek
life isn't just about wearing letters
and partying. "We are not groups
against each other. It's a healthy
competition, everyone does their
best, and we are friends after-
wards," she said.
Pay attention around campus.
There will be an array of signs for
the different events. All those
involved in Greek life and the orga-
nization of Greek Week encourage
all to attend events, and support
those who are in Greek. This invi-
tation extends to non-Greek stu-
dents, faculty, and even members of
the community.

Information
Ken Bedford, a senior diver
ai Clarion University, finished
his career with a national
championship performance at
the NCAA Division II National
Championships in Buffalo,
New York, March 10-13.
Bedford, the only men's rep-
resentative at the NCAA's,
won the 3-meter diving title
scoring 521.75 points. Then,
in the 1 -meter event, he placed
second with a total of 477.25.
He was captain of the swim-
ming and diving team for the
1998-1999 season.
"Ken had a great career here
at Clarion," stated Clarion div-
ing coach Dave Hrovat. "He's
been one of our top divers in
Division II since his freshman
year and has always main-
tained a championship level
both in practice and on the
boards. This year's accom-
plishments are even more
exciting, since he missed about
six weeks starting in December
with a shoulder problem. His
dedication and sacrifice to be
the best put him at a champi-
onship level," Hrovat added.
Bedford was an 8-time career
Ail-American at Clarion, the
maximum for any diver. He
hold the Clarion record on the
3-meter hoard (6 dives) with a
total of 348.95 points, set
against Allegheny this year.
A red-shirt in 1998, Ken won
the 3-meter title in 1997 and
finished third on the 1 -meter in
1997. In 1996. Bedford was
named the NCAA Division II
"Diver of the Year" for his per-
formance at the NCAA's. He
won the 1-meter title and fin-
ished second on both the 1 and
the 3 meter boards.
Overall, Bedford won three
NCAA titles, placed second
four times, and was third once.
Bedford scored 37 points with
his two finishes and led
Clarion to an 18th place finish
at this year's NCAA's. Drury
won the team title going away
with 189 points, while Cal-
Bakersfield was second with
557 points.
The Golden Eagles base-
ball team started of their
season with a 5-4 mark
in Florida. For the full

I was anything but a picture of
lady-like gentility.
The RIT Tigers, hockey sticks in
hand and sweat dripping under
their facemasks, watched intense-
ly from the sidelines as their team-
mates passed the puck with light-
ning speed.
Within minutes, their opponents
form Amherst College scored a
goal - prompting anything but del-
icated expressions of dismay.
"It was all Luck!" shouted
Rochelle Bogart, one of 18 mem-
bers of the Rochester Institute of
Technology's women's hockey
team, currently ranked No. 1 in the
Wesern Division among Division
III schools. 1 5 other schools make
up Division III women's hockey,
including Colgate University,
Middlebury College, and Trinity
College. Teams are also scattered
throughout other athletic divisions
across the country.
Described by devoted fan
Lauren Barrows as "One of the
best kept secrets," the popularity
of women's hockey has grown by
leaps and bounds in the last couple
of years. Players are getting bet-
ter, and - while game attendance
isn't where women's hockey sup-
porters would like it to be - more
spectators are showing up at theirs
games.
"We know we have a goal," said
Rochelle Bogart, a junior on the
RIT team. "And no matter how
►www.clarion.edu/thecalli

readying up for their com-
petition in Daytona. For the
story, see page 28.
many people are here, we're still
going to play."
The emerging women's sport has
enjoyed worldwide attention in
recent years.
Capializing on last year's first
Olympic women's hockey games
in Nagano, Japan, the American
Women's College Hockey
Alliance staged the sport's first
national college championship in
1998. It was an effort designed to
improve the chances that the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association will officially recog-
nize women's hockey - an effort
that's likey to be rewarded. This
year's championships are sched-
uled for March 6 and 7.
Students attending schools out-
side the Northeast are also warm-
ing up to women's hockey. The
University of Minnesota's
women's team, ranked No. 4
among Division I schools in the
nation by USA Today and
American Hockey Magazine, is
reporting crowds of more than
l,100agame. That's not bad con-
sidering it's only the sport's sec-
ond season at the university, said
Craig Roberts, the school's assis-
tant sports information director for
women's sports.
"We'd like to see the numbers
higher, but this is by no means dis-
tressing, " he said. "This is still
new to people, so we're really
encouraging them to get out and
see the product with hopes that
they'll be impressed and come
back out again."
Many of the fans who have fol-
lowed such advice and keep
returning for more are guys.
"Women are a lot more fun to
watch than the men, " said Mike
Williams, a fifth-year student at
RIT. "They go little slower so you
get to see things happen."
"The change in pace indicates
that hockey is largely a game of
skill for women and one of speed
and strength for men," Bogart
said. Like many of her team-
mates,
Bogart grew up playing in all-
boys hockey leagues and looked
specifically for a college that
could offer her a solid women's
hockey program.
"Women's hockey doesn't hurt
as much, but I miss the physical
contact of the men's game," she
said.
Many supporters say the game's
popularity would rise to greater
heights if body checking were
allowed in women's hockey, but
that isn't likely to happen given
men and women's differing
physiques. Spectators should
instead appreciate women's teams
for their precision and execution
of the game, said Wes Jones, assis-
tant coach of the RIT team.
. "College students like the hitting
and checking," he said. "The
women's game is more about
finesse. It is a much cleaner game
because women can't go out on
the ice to play the body like men."
But make no mistake about it,
referee Tom Lynch said, women
play the game hard.
"If a puck is in the corner, they
are pushing and shoving like the
men do," he said. " And the lan-
guage is the same."
The Lady Eagles softball
team returned from
Florida with a 2-2 record.

SPORTS CORNER
This week
Do you think gambling should be legalized in all 50 states?
George Groff-Yes, because it is a tremendous business that can be very
profitable. Unfortunately, it feeds off people losing their hard earned money.
Matt Hamilton-Yes, because it will bring in more income for the economy.
Mark Watts--Yes, because cocktails are free.
Shawn Morrow-Yes, because it brings in more nudie bars.
Matt Zock-Yes, because then Deiner and I do not have to drive all the way to
Canada!
Wayne Ailing-No, because each state should have its own characteristics
and it gives you a reason to travel to different states.
Tim Bowerman-Yes, because all college students are broke!
Matt Gaumer-Yes, because it is a form of entertainment for people to do.
Plus, if it is in every state, you wont have to travel as far and it would be more
conveinent.

Clarion Ice Hockey
battles it out in the
trenches
by Bill Friedline
Clarion Call Staff Writer
This week was especially hard
on the team when they were
unable to capitalize on the game
on Wednesday night.
The pair of Friedline and
McWilliams connected twice
behind a goal effort by Drew
McWilliams in the first period,
Clarion looking like they were on
the roll, but the opposing team
answered with furious scoring
attempts to defeat Clarion.
"Even though we lost, the team
played well together despite a
restructuring of lines due to
injuries. The rest of the season
looks hopeful from here on out. I
guarantee us a playoff appear-
ance," said Drew McWilliams.
The only game for the week of
March 15 Clarion faced off
against were the Lumberjacks.
This time Clarion took a 2-0 lead
into the second period off of
goals by Shane Gross and Shawn
Ryan.
Unfortunately the Lumberjacks
scored three goals in the second
and two goals in the third to
defeat Clarion 5-3.
Bob Petty also scored in
Clarion's losing effort. Center
Shane Gross said, "I feel the team
is very strong, but we need to
work more on mending as a
whole."
There was some fan support at
the game, but more would be
greatly appreciated. Clarion Ice
Hockey is due to face off again

Baseball team Cheerleaders
returns from
Florida with
5-4 mark
by John C. Crawford
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Golden Eagles baseball
team made its annual trip to
Florida for spring training during
the winter break (February 26 to
March 5). There the Eagles post-
ed a 5-4 record against non-con-
ference competition. The trip
featured sets of two game series
against Catholic University,
Wilkes University, and Kings
College. Clarion also played sin-
gle games against Clinch Valley,
Rochester Institute of
Technology, and Miserocordia.
The trip of Florida was high-
lighted by several close games.
Clarion faced its toughest opposi-
tion from Wilkes University,
which outscored the Eagles 15-5
in two games.
Leading the way for the Eagles
was Nate Seegers, who batted 13-
31 for the trip, with .419 batting
average. Ed Zollinger went 7-18,
with a 389 average. Senior pitch-
er Chris Draxinger (2-0) notched
two wins in two complete games
during the trip.
Clarion opened the trip
February 27 with a 5-4 win over
Catholic University, on the
strength of a four-run third
inning. The victory was clinched
in the seventh inning, when pinch
runner Jeff Stanyard was brought
home on a balk by Catholic pitch-
er Dan Zachary. David Graham
(1-0) was awarded the win.
In their second game of the trip,
Clarion was beaten 8-3 by Wilkes
on February 28. Clarion went up
2-0 in the first inning. Wilkes
turned out three runs in the sec-
ond, off Mark Wells, who took
the loss (0-1). Freshman pitcher
Nate Baumgardener gave up two
runs in the sixth in his first action.
Wilkes scored three more in the
seventh.
March 1 . Clarion faced RIT. and
claimed a 3-1 victory on the
strength of a CG pitched by
Draxinger. Later that day,
Clarion was downed by 4-3
King's College. King's College
made three runs on two Clarion
errors. Graham took the loss (1-
1).
Clarion faced Catholic
University and Kings College
once more. Catholic took away a
5-4 extra-inning victory in what
Coach Rich Herman termed "a
heartbreaker." Mike Brown, Kris
Schmader, Stanyard, and Seegers
all had two hits. Catholic
University won the game with
two outs in the bottom of the
eighth. Reliever Jared Nash was
credited the loss (0-1), despite
two innings of solid relief.
The King's College game took
nearly eleven hours to complete.
Clarion won 4-3, scattering RBI's
through the first, fifth, sixth, and
seventh, for a 4-1 lead. Senior
pitcher Travis Jordon (1-0)
pitched a complete game, helped
by the long layover during the
afternoon.
On March 4, Clarion was
defeated by Wilkes 7-2. In a
repeat of the first game against
Wilkes, the Eagles lead 2-0 after
the first inning. Graham (1-2)
was drubbed during the fifth and
sixth innings, giving up 5 runs.
Pitcher Chris Draxinger contin-
ued his superb performance with
another complete game.
Draxinger took a 7-0 lead and a
no-hitter against Misericordia
into me seventh, before giving up
a triple and two unearned runs.
On March 5, Jared Nash, Nate
Baumgardner, and Ed Zollinger
split a 2-0 shutout against Clinch
Valley. Baumgardner left the
bases loaded in the sixth.
Zollinger earned the save, and sat
down the side in the seventh.
Baumgardner was credited his
career victory ( 1 -0).
Clarion has been unable to par-
ticipate in its scheduled games
since returning from the Florida
trip. However, with the recent
improvement of the weather, the
Eagles expect to take the field for
two road games and a home game
April 1 against California
University of Pa.

Clarion Softball
team returns
from Florida 2-2
by John C. Crawford
Clarion CaU Staff Writer
The Lady Eagles softball team
absorbed two disappointing losses
against Florida Tech on February
28 and rebounded to win twice
against Northwestern University
of Minnesota on March 1.
Despite a strong performance,
Missy Gring (0-1) took the 3-0
loss in the first game against
Florida Tech. Gring sat down five
batters, but Clarion was only able
to produce three hits, flying out
nine times, in support of the
strong defensive effort.
FloridaTech crushed Clarion 9-
2 in the second game, on the
strength of a five-run second
inning. Diane Whitesides was
credited the loss (0-1).
Stacey Robertson (1-0) pitched
the Eagles to a 4-0 win in the first
game against Northwestern (MN).
She pitched a complete game,
walking one, giving up five hits,
and sitting down eight batters
Megan Borio keyed the victory
with a lead-off homerun in the
third inning. The team made 12
hits for the game.
Gring (1-1) gained her first vic-
tory of the season in the second
game against Northwestern.
Pitching a complete game, she
retired 13, scattering six hits, two
walks, and one run.
The Eagles batters provided
heavy run support and good bat-
ting, scoring nine runs on 13 hits
and three walks. Clarion went
through the order in the fifth
inning, bringing in five runs and 4
RBI's.
The trip to Florida appears pos-
itive for the team, which went 5-
30 (0-20 PSAC) in 1998. Despite
a noted youth on the team,
Sophomore Gring and Freshman
Robertson showed well during the
trip.

Forfeited
after
Fraternity
Brawl

Exchange
SMITHFIELD, R.I. (CPX)
Bryant College's football team
will forfeit one of its games next
season, a penalty for a fight that
broke out in December between
players and members of one of
the college's fraternities.
School officials are still trying
to determine whether race played
a part in the brawl, which injured
six students and left one student
needing facial reconstruction
around an eye socket. Most of the
athletes who were arrested are
black, and the fraternity members
are white.
Ongoing turf wars between
football players and fraternity
members also are suspected of
elevating the conflict, school offi
cials say. The team was created]
in 1997 and played its first season
last fall.
"Bryant hasn't had a strong ath-
letic history, and football is high-
profile sport," Marc Furtado, the
college's acting athletics director
told the Chronicle of Higher
Education. "The fraternities have
been king of the hill for a while.
Rassling starting to

Commentary
by Jon Saraceno
USA Today
I have a confession. I think I'm
hooked on professional wrestling.
I'm tired of being rube for pro box-
ing. At least wrestling delivers
precisely what it purports. It is the
theater of the absurb stuffed inside
a three-ring circus of body slams,
pile drivers and muscular, tanned
and testosterone-enraged actors,
ah, wrestlers, who scream things I
don't understand. At least I think
they're pro wrestlers.
I turned on the TV the other
night and thought I stumbled onto
a Chippendales reunion tour. Men
with rippled abs hair-wipped like
one another with wild peroxide-
blond manes. It looked like an
invasion of angry heavy-metal gui-
tarists from the 80' s. During World
Championship Wrestling Nitro on
TNT, along Florida's "Rednecked
Riviera," I was mesmerized listen-
ing to Ric Flair proclaim himself
world heavyweight champion.
Memo to Ric: If Don King asks
you to sign several blanks pieces of
paper, tell him you pen just ran out
of ink, then run.
I switched to World Wrestling
Federation on USA Network and
watched in awe as Stone Cold
Steve Austin drove a beer truck
into an arena and used a fire hose
to douse promoter Vince
McMahon Jr. I sat in front of my
television with a sports smorgas-
bord at my remote-control finger-
tips, but I kept coming back to the
rassling.
Ali: Lewis winner of
'fixed' title bout
by USA Today
Muhammad Alii called the
recent heavy weight title fight
between Evander Holyfield and
Lennox Lewis "the biggest fix in
fight history,"this past Tuesday.
Ali said that he was humiliated
that boxing "had sunk to its lowest
levels."
In a letter to Senate Commerce
Committee Chairman John
McCain. R-Ariz., Ali said "It was
clear to all who watched that the
deciding victor of the match was
England's Lennox Lewis." The
unification title fight on March 13
in New York ended in a draw,
sparking investigations by a New
York City grand jury, a New York
Senate committee, the New York
State Athletic Commission and the
Nevada Gaming Control Board.
McCain intoduced a bill earlier
this year that would restrict coer-
cive-option contracts by which
promoters force boxers into long-
term deals in exchange for a shot
at a world title. "As former three-
time heavy-weight boxing cham-
pion of the world, I believe I have
the credibility to say Lennox
Lewis won this bout without ques-
tion and should have been named
the clear and decided victor," Ali
wrote.
I tried watching the Knicks-
Hawks NBA game. I caught
Purdue playing Rutgers in the col-
lege women's basketball tourna-
ment, but hey, I'm a La. Tech kind
of guy.
Tuesday, I began noticing strange
urges. Like wanting to wear beer-
stained "New World Order" T-
shirts and yell at the top of my
lungs. While rummaging through
the garage, I found an old, illumi-
nated Bud Light clock and won-
dered how it would look in our
den.
Instead of picking up Sports
Illustrated, I went for The
Complete Idiot's Guide to Pro-
Wrestling. Co-authored by
Captain Lou Albano and Bert
Randolph Sugar, I discovered
many things I did not know: Killer
Kowalski ripped off Yukon Eric's
cauliflowered ear at the Forum in
Montreal in 1959. As many as 15
wrestlers have died during match-
es. Gorilla Monsoon weighed 400
pounds. Red Smith, the late
Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist,
used to chronicle wrestling's carni-
val of illusion and burlesque. The
Redster once wrote: "It's difficult
to do justice to Gorgeous George's
act, this side of the libel laws."
I couldn't put the book down. I
realized at that moment that I had a
problem. I considered calling Dr.
Laura, but was too ashamed. I also
was terrified I'd get chewed out on
a normal radio show, where I was
convinced my voice would be rec-
ognized even after I lied about my
name and state I was calling from.
How could I tell her I was consid-
ering paying $34.95 on Sunday to
watch WrestleMania XV on pay-
per view. (About $15 bucks cheap-
er than big-time boxing, plus I get
a Butterbean bout and guest offi-
cials Vinny Pazienza, Kevin
Rooney, Bobby Czyz, and Chuck
"The Bayonne Bleeder" Wepner.
Sure, pro wrestling is raunchy and
violent and sexist, but I'm fascinat-
ed. I always loathed it and loved
boxing.
When I returned home from New
York that fistic fiasco (Lennox and
Holyfield), my 11-year-old son,
who knows more about Goldberg
than he does about Mark McGwire,
greeted me with a wry smile.
"Dad, how can you stand to watch
that stuff? It's so fake." I used to
find myself telling him to turn off
that dam wrestling video game.
Now I just want him to hand me a
controller.

This past weekend, some
Clarion University adventurers
backpacked into the first week-
end of spring with a head of
steam. Nine university students
left Clarion Friday afternoon.
After overcoming some of the
hurdles traveling brings, we
reached camp. Camp for the first
night was at the trail head of Old
Logger's Path, located in the
Tiadaghton State Forest, just out-
side of Williamsport, Pa. The
crew went right to sleep in order
to rest up for the thirteen mile
hike that would place over the
next two days.
The bright sunlight woke me up
around 6:15 a.m. Feeling a little
chilly, I got right up and started
some breakfast for the rest of the
crew. The crisp, morning air had
everyone moving about earlier
than usual. We were on the trail
about nine o'clock. The weather
was perfect. I could not remem-
ber the last time the sky did not
have a bit of haze, a cloud, or
even jet vapor in it.
The 50 degree temperatures
kept all of us very comfortable.
It was excellent backpacking
weather. The trail leads through
many different sites. The hike
lead us to a ghost town, rolling
hills, steep and mild descends,
and two beautiful vista's. One
vista allowed the group to take a
break and grab some lunch.
Smoked sausage, chicken,
cheese, and trail mix was on the
menu.
The hike offered many photo
opportunities. I used up a roll of
Film myself. I wish 1 could of
captured every moment on film.
I missed the flock of Canadian
Snow Geese flying back north,
the two hawks looking for a
meal, a couple of deer taking a
quick drink, and our state bird,
the Roughed Grouse, flushing
from his roost.
Our goal was met for day one,
nine miles to camp. The clear
skies lasted completely through
dinner. The stars were out in
abundance. So many stars filled
the night sky that it was hard to
distinguish between the constel-
lations.
A little bit worn out, the group
hit the sack early again that night.
I went to bed around 9:30, wak-
ing up Sunday morning to find it
a bit cloudy. Not a drop of rain
had fallen all night and we were
happy about that. We had some
breakfast, packed up, and hiked
the rest of the way to the van.
The last day took us on an old
railroad grade. It provided us
with an easy trip out.
All in all, the trip provided the
group with great views, beautiful
weather, and a mix of snow cov-
ered grounds, budding trees, and
blue skies-a true symbol of the
changing seasons. I am glad that
the nine of us decided to spend
the coming of spring in this fash-
ion. Hope to see you on the next
trip.

sion in favor of Air Force's Luke

backpacks through
Old Logger's Path
by Scott P. McNichols
Contributing writer
This past weekend, some
Clarion University adventurers
backpacked into the first week-
end of spring with a head of
steam. Nine university students
left Clarion Friday afternoon.
After overcoming some of the
hurdles traveling brings, we
reached camp. Camp for the first
night was at the trail head of Old
Logger's Path, located in the
I iadaghton State Forest, just out-
side of Williamsport, Pa. The
crew went right to sleep in order
to rest up for the thirteen mile
hike that would place over the
next two days.
The bright sunlight woke me up
around 6:15 a.m. Feeling a little
chilly, I got right up and started
some breakfast for the rest of the
crew. The crisp, morning air had
everyone moving about earlier
than usual. We were on the trail
about nine o'clock. The weather
was perfect. I could not remem-
ber the last time the sky did not
have a bit of haze, a cloud, or
even jet vapor in it.
The 50 degree temperatures
kept all of us very comfortable.
It was excellent backpacking
weather. The trail leads through
many different sites. The hike
lead us to a ghost town, rolling
hills, steep and mild descends,
and two beautiful vista's. One
vista allowed the group to take a
break and grab some lunch.
Smoked sausage, chicken,
cheese, and trail mix was on the
menu.
The hike offered many photo
opportunities. I used up a roll of
film myself. I wish 1 could of
captured every moment on film.
I missed the flock of Canadian
Snow Geese flying back north,
the two hawks looking for a
meal, a couple of deer taking a
quick drink, and our state bird,
the Roughed Grouse, flushing
from his roost.
Our goal was met for day one,
nine miles to camp. The clear
skies lasted completely through
dinner. The stars were out in
abundance. So many stars filled
the night sky that it was hard to
distinguish between the constel-
lations.
A little bit worn out, Ihe group
hit the sack early again that night.
I went to bed around 9:30, wak-
ing up Sunday morning to find it
a bit cloudy. Not a drop of rain
had fallen all night and we were
happy about diat. We had some
breakfast, packed up, and hiked
the rest of the way to the van.
The last day took us on an old
railroad grade. It provided us
with an easy trip out.
All in all, the trip provided the
group with great views, beautiful
weather, and a mix of snow cov-
ered grounds, budding trees, and
blue skies-a true symbol of the
changing seasons. I am glad that
the nine of us decided to spend
the coming of spring in this fash-
ion. Hope to see you on the next
trip.

Parking passes may
increase to $100
• The increased
fee will be used
to fund a land
purchase.
by Leslie Suhr
Clarion CaH Managing Editor^
A substantial raise in the fee
assessed for student parking
passes is being built into a pro-
posal to be taken before
President Reinhard for approval.
According to Dr. Heather
Haberaecker, vice president for
finance and administration, the
proposal will be made to increase
the parking fee from its current
$15 a year to $100 a year, or $50
per semester.
"The reason for the increase in
the fee is because the University
doesn't want to use limited
resources and compete with
resources like course offerings,"
she said. "It would not be fair to
the students to use these funds to
pay for parking if a student does-
n't want to bring a car to cam-
pus."
"Why not have the people who
want to have a car on campus
incur the costs?," she added.
The proposal came about after
meetings of the University
Parking Committee, the
Facilities Planning Committee
and an ad hoc committee on
parking.
"There has been little student
participation on the parking com-
mittee this year and there have
been little opportunities for stu-
dents to participate,"
Haberaecker said.
"However, we are having a
roundtable discussion on this
issue with students, and we will
take the drafted proposal to
Student Senate on April 19," she
added.
The reason for the proposal, she
said, is to offset the costs
incurred by the University in
acquiring new land.
Haberaecker said the land is
being purchased to provide stu-
dents and faculty with more
parking spaces, which are cur-
rently in high demand.
"The question is what price
must the parking permit fee be
set at before students will consid-
er not bringing a car to campus,"
she said. "Most students ques-
tioned said the price would have
to get over $200 before they
would consider not bringing a
car to campus."
Currently, faculty and staff do
not pay for parking passes
because of a collective bargain-
ing agreement as a condition of
employment at the University.
Any fee must be negotiated with
the union, Haberaecker said.
Haberaecker said it is hoped the
increase in the permit fee will
increase the number of available
parking spaces because the high-
er rate may deter students from
bringing a car to campus if they
don't really need it.
The final proposal is expected
to come before Dr. Reinhard
before May 1 . If the proposal is

Kosovo: It is our
duty as US citizens
As our loved ones prepare to leave for Kosovo as a
part of their duties as US citizens, we need to recognize
that we are, in fact, at war: Not the type of war that is
knocking at our front doors, but the type that needs our
support to avoid the ethnic cleansing of a population
only an ocean away.
Why should we care? Why do students need to real-
ize and understand what is going on? We need to know
about our world to avoid what has happened in the past.
Furthermore, at any time, the US government can
reinstate the draft. And, within a flash, students can be
torn from their daily routines and cast into a sea of
fighting and death.
What we want is for everyone to be updated on your
current events and take an active intitiatve in knowing
what is going on in world events.
We all have ancestry from all around the world. There
doesn't need to be fighting in Poland or Germany or
even here, in the US, before we want to know what's
going on.
Make the effort every day to read a newspaper, watch
a television newscast, or log on to any one of the
numerous World Wide Web sites that provide around-
the-clock information about our presence in Kosovo.
Lastly, note that there is a pattern of ethnic cleansing.
Can we sit idly by as thousands of people are killed, and
those who survive, flee, literally, for their lives? As
Clarion University prepares to observe Holocaust
Remembrance Week, it should serve as a painful
reminder of what can happen if "ethnic cleansing" is
carried out unrelentingly without the intervention of
nations such as the United States.
Stay up-to-date on the happenings in Eastern Europe.
We all have a stake in the outcome.

Swimmer defends Call writer
READER RESPONSE
In the March 25
Your Views
Dear Call,
I am writing on the behalf of Lori Hynes. In the
March 25th article of the Call, Lori was jaggedly
chastised for not reporting equally on the diving
aspect of the 1999 NCAA II Swimming and Diving
Championship held in Buffalo, NY during the sec-
ond week of March. There were two separate letters
in the Call that berated Lori's reporting.
I would like to mention that I am a member of the
Clarion Men's Swim Team. I know Kenny Bedford
and the other divers. They know that I, and most of
the guys' and girls' swim teams support the divers
fully. I was at the national meet as a spectator, and I
cheered whole-heartedly as Kenny gained the only
points for Clarion on the men's side of the competi-
tion.
A few of the discrepancies that I have with thetwo
letters in the March 25th edition pertain to original
article's bias against the divers, "past history," and
there only being three sentences about Kenny. The
inaccuracies of the first and last discrepancies can be
demonstrated by the fact that the swimming section
of the article was vertically five and one-quarter
inches long, the diving section was four and one-half
inches long. If the swimming section included the
results of seven swimmers, and the diving section
contained the results of five divers, then each swim-
mer received an average of three-quarters of an inch,
and each diver received nine-tenths of an inch on
average. The original article states that, "Bedford
has never placed lower than third at Nationals." I
would consider this a piece of past history concern-
ing Kenny.
This letter is not intended to detract from Kenny
and the other divers' successes. I congratulate all of
them and harbor no bad feelings for any of them. I
am glad that there was an entire article on Kenny in
the March 25th edition. This letter is for Lori Hynes,
who was so inaccurately depicted and slandered in
that edition. Considering the space restrictions
placed on Lori, I believe Lori did a fine job. I mean,
Clarion sports can only be granted so much room in
our paper when "March Madness" is underway.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions though,
no matter how factually erroneous.
Sincerely, Daniel A. Pierce

John Gerow
Birthday wishes
Dear Warren,
Here it is, another of your birth-
days, and again, there is so much
time and so many miles between
us. I was trying to remember the
other day if we were ever able to
spend one of your birthdays
together. If memory serves,
which it does not as well as it
should, I think it was only your
first that you and I have celebrat-
ed together. And the sad fact
about that is the sh** storm start-
ed shortly after your first birthday,
and I have no clear recollection of
your first.
I do remember the day you were
bom. There are people who know
me who would have trouble
believing mat I can remember
events of three specific days so
many years ago, but I do. The day
that you were born was gray, cold,
and sullen — typical of that end
of winter time in the North
Country. Dr. Lucy and his
research manager were at the
farm that day, and we spent the
better part of the day out in the
cold wind analyzing the previous
year's pasture performance, and
planning for the summer to come.
You arrived in the world by
appointment. (Your dad did too,
so it is not all that bad.) I don't
remember now, why the doctor
needed to see you early like that,
but he hid. You first act in life
was to baptize the doctor — I still
remember him looking over his
mask and saying to me —
"Obviously, one of yours..."
You were a difficult baby. You
were fussy and demanding — part
of that may have been that situa-
tions were going from bad to
worse, and you needed to squall
to get anyone's attention.
There was, and I think, still is, an
intensity in you that was amazing
and a little frightening. You final-

some ways, you have always been

from your father and his before

I have always marveled at the

".^competition is
healthy, hut I person*
ally believe Greek
Week should be more
about having fun"
Matt Nickolas, Circulation Manager
I find myself sitting on a cold
hard black floor wearing what
some might call nothing more
than leopard underwear, and won-
dering what on earth a twenty-
two-year-old senior such as
myself is doing with black paint
all over my face, about to sing a
song about a dinosaur that went
out of style many years ago. At
that point the curtains open and
the screams from the audience
begin. Some people tried to reas-
sure us later that the screams
meant that we looked good, but I
know the screams really indicated
that members of the audience
have just discovered the extra two
inches of "Beer Belly" that I have
gained over the long winter.
In case you are not familiar with
Greek activities, Greek week offi-
cially kicked off with ever so
popular "Greek sing" last Friday.
Greek sing involves all the active
fraternities and sororities giving
two separate performances, the
formal and informal song.
The formal song involves dress-
ing up and singing a song in choir
form. The informal song consists
of more or less getting on stage
and making an ass of yourself.
This is usually the only Greek
week event where it is possible to
"catch a whiff of fine whiskey in
the air. Some fraternity and
sorority members tend to have a
pre-sing drink to ease the anxiety.
Although the university definitely
frowns on such activity, (in fact if
caught that fraternity or sorority
can be disqualified), I am sure
that it occasionally happens.
Greek sing does take a bit of
preparation, and it can become
some what nerve wracking. I am
actually glad that everyone no
longer carries guns, as it was in
the old days, or I am sure that all
my fraternity brothers would have
shot each other. But in the end it
is nice to know that we can even-
tually work together to achieve a
goal.
Greek week also involves many
activities that last all week long in
which the fraternities and sorori-
ties continue to compete against
each other to gain points. At the
end of the week the fraternity and
sorority with the most points are
awarded victory over the other

Sorority leader apologizes for Greek Week
Dear Students,
This is in regards to the logo that
was chosen for Greek Week this
year. As members of the
Panhellenic Council, the govern-
ing body of all sororities on cam-
pus, we would like to extend an
apology to all of the students who
may have been offended by the
logo.
For those of you who may not
have seen the logo this year, it
depicted Greeks as an elitist
group. This was not the message
that was intended to be conveyed
by the members of the Greek sys-
tem. The Greek system is a very
diverse group of individuals that
strive for high academics, leader-
ship, and community service. We
do not take pride in making others
feel that they are inferior to us in
any way. The Panhellenic
Council is to approve everything
that is printed, used, and dis-
played about the Greek System.
This is not the logo we approved
to be used for the Greek Week
1999 logo.
Again we would like to say that
we are sorry, and in the future we
will carefully review all publicity
so that it is not offensive to any-
one.

Council

to his house as soon as you would see the lights on
in the kitchen. I know that he has missed your com-
panionship, maybe even more than I.
I can only imagine what it has been like for you,
these past 12 years. You must think that I have been
a horrible father for not being there. All I can say to
you, son, is that I never wanted it to be this way.
Without going into more detail than is necessary, let
me tell you, and please believe me, that I did all I
could to try to be with you and your brother and sis-
ter, and to be a real father. That's just not the way it
was meant to be. I fought as long and as hard as I
could, eventually losing everything — there was
nothing left.
I truly hope that none of you three ever find out
what the last 12 years have been like for me. There
is nothing more pointless than being a man without
his children. It has been a long struggle, and, at
times, only the intense love I hold for the three of
you has kept me living. I figured I have made you
all suffer enough without leaving you a legacy of
suicide as well.
When your birthday comes around, I know that
spring can only be so far away, I have been watch-
ing flocks of robins today, and letting my mind wan-
der back across the years to other springs and other
worlds. I remember the day you started across the
garden in your barn boots to discover that the frost
had gone out of the ground and left a foot of mud.
You stood there in your stocking feet wailing as if
you were dying. And 1 remember another Spring,
the last one I spent in New York, and you playing
with the puppy Eddie, and him knocking you down
and rolling you on the wet ground. An earlier mem-
ory of you sitting in the high chair waving a hot dog
while you talked — Honey Dog snuck the hot dog
out of the bun — you bit into bread only and burst
into tears. Vague and distant memories of you
sneaking out of bed to play by yourself on the living
room floor, and then curling up on the sofa to sleep
with me...
Another year, another birthday — seasons, worlds,
lives later, we seem to see the only answers there are,
are hardly sufficient.
Happy birthday, Warren. I love you more than you
will ever know.

fraternities and sororities.
Over the years Greek week has become more and
more competitive. It is to the point now where some
fraternities and sororities have their own internal try-
outs before the actual activities to decide who they
want to represent their organization. Because of the
aforementioned "beer belly", I am not picked very
often to participate in the actual activities, but it is
exciting at times to go and cheer on your own par-
ticular team.
A lot of people thrive on the competition. I was
never really that type of person. I guess the compe-
tition is healthy, but I personally believe that Greek
week should be more about having fun.
Last weekend at the local tavern, a member of
another fraternity came up to me and asked me if I
was ready for war. At first I thought he was talking
about the war in Kosovo, but then I realized he was
talking about Greek Week. I guess that does prove
that many people feel differently about Greek Week.
Although with all the negative publicity that the
Greek system has been getting lately, it is nice to see
everyone gathered together.

Civility
Divfifsity
by Tammi Snyder and John Brown
Clarion University Student Senators
In a letter to the Board of Student Government Presidents
At Clarion University we have various programs that promote civil-
ity and diversity. Some of these programs include "The Building
Bridges Program," "The Men of Color Think Tank," a "Martin
Luther King Jr. Committee," and an Ethnic Tolerance Coalition was
established among community and University members. In addition,
the Student Senate sponsors an annual Social Equity Dinner and
Awards Ceremony (which is open to the public) honoring those peo-
ple in the campus and community who have made outstanding con-
tributions on the area of Social Equity.
"The Building Bridges" program is in its fourth year at CUP and
was started from the incentive given by Shippensburg University.
The purpose behind the program is to represent diversity in a positive
light and bridge gaps of communication and understanding between
students of various racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Students from all backgrounds and cultures are trained to demon-
strate and share their personal experiences with certain prejudices
and beliefs. They visit classrooms and talk with students offering
discussion on various topics. The professor will poll the students for
a list of questions, resulting in a lively discussion; it can introduce
many students to a different way of thinking and possibly produce a
different perspective for them.
The program mainly directs its sessions toward sociology, psy-
chology, and education classes. These sessions are held on a daily
basis and are arranged by the professor according to their class
schedule.
"The Men of Color Think Tank" was organized in 1995 and has
been growing for four years. It was established so that males from
all races could come together and voice their opinions about differ-
ent issues that concern both the campus and community. Currently,
the members associated with the group meet weekly and try to
encourage other male students on campus to become involved.
"The Martin Luther King Jr. Committee" was formed to maintain
the survival of the heritage of Dr. King as a leader. This year's theme
focuses on "The Dream 30 Years Later." The committee offers vari-
ous programs, including speakers and entertainers to promote and
remember the vision of Dr. King.
The Student Senate, in conjunction with the Office of Social Equity
.helps to sponsor an annual Social Equity Dinner. This event recog-
nizes achievements made by community members, along with CUP
faculty and students, based on their efforts to promote diversity and
civility within the campus and community.
Lastly, an Ethnic Tolerance Coalition made up of citizens from the
Clarion area was established in the fall of 1996. The Coalition was
developed to educate people about how to eliminate the problems
that allow hate groups and hate crimes to survive. It also provides
awareness about the value of diversity and gaining a higher level of
respect for all citizens no matter what their race, creed, or religion.
Recently, a member from the Coalition came and spoke to the
Student Senate. As a result of this speaker, a more in depth under-
standing about the Coalition was gained and the Student Senate as a
whole. We were invited to give our signatures to the community
statement and mission statement of the Coalition. Those who signed
are now to apply our energy in its enforcement.
Clarion University is making strong efforts to affirm that we sup-
port civility and diversity and that we do not provide tolerance for
hateful acts. All of these programs strive forward in attempting to
educate people and promote awareness of all people from all back-
grounds and cultures.
As a Student Senate we hope that all of these programs and com-
mittees will continue to grow and thrive. We are encouraged to
embrace more programs like these/ knowing that if more exist, it's a
strive forward in eliminating the hatred and ignorance that is still
prevalent.

OPINION
UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Crisis in Kosovo
Dear Editor:
Why is it that I see daily pictures of burn-
ing villages, refugees, and massacre vic-
tims in Kosovo and no pictures at all of
Kurdish victims of far worse atrocities in
Turkey? There are hundreds of thousands
of Kurdish refugees . Their villages have
been bombed and strafed by Turkish heli-
copters and jets, supplied by the United
States. Why are the Albanian separatists
treated as freedom fighters in the U.S.
media, while the Kurdish guerrillas are
called terrorists? Why is an independent
Kosovo deemed good and an independent
Kurdistan bad?
The media coverage reminds me of the
situation MIT professor Noam Chomsky
describes in his book, 'Manufacturing
Consent.' Chomsky points out that exten-
sive coverage was given to enemy atroci-
ties in Cambodia, while simultaneously
there was a near complete blackout of cov-
erage of U.S. -supported atrocities in East
Timor.
There is a logical explanation for the fact
that a superpower like the United States is
willing to use its air force in support of a
guerrilla army. After the Soviet Union and
most of eastern Europe went capitalist,
only one socialist state remained,
Yugoslavia. Therefore, the breakup of
Yugoslavia was very important to the
United States and other capitalist countries.
The Kurdish guerrillas are leftist in polit-
ical orientation. The last thing the United
States would want to see in the oil-rich
Middle East would be a socialist Kurdistan.
The prime motivating factor of U.S. for-
eign policy is the preservation of capitalism
and enhancement of corporate power and
profits. The tender concern expressed by
government officials and the media for
refugees and victims of atrocities is for
public consumption only.
Sincerely,
Gary Sudborough
Bellflower, CA
P.S. The recent seizure by the Serbian gov-
ernment of ICN Pharmaceuticals is a real
aggravating factor that makes me think
bombing will take place. The seizure of a
capitalist's property is a definite no-no!
Turkey's history of torture
may continue
Dear Editor:
The United States facilitated the capture of Kurdish guerrilla leader Abdullah Ocalan by
intense diplomatic pressure on foreign governments to expel him from their countries and
by providing intelligence to Turkey on his location. Now that a Turkish commando raid in
Kenya captured Ocalan, it will be a miracle if he is not severely tortured. Turkey has one
of the worst records in the world for the use of torture.
This is not the first U.S. betrayal of the Kurds' effort to obtain a homeland. In 1975 in
an effort to weaken Iraq and please the Shah of Iran, the CIA urged the Kurds to revolt and
provided them with military assistance. When it appeared die Kurds might be successful,
aid was abruptly canceled and Iraq brutally suppressed their rebellion, executing hundred
of Kurd leaders. When questioned about this betrayal, National Security Affairs advisor
Henry Kissinger made one of his famous statements: "Covert action should not be confused
with missionary work."
The second betrayal occurred immediately after the Persian Gulf war, when the United
States had several hundred thousand troops in the area. President George Bush urged the
Kurds and Shiites to revolt and when they did, U.S. forces did absolutely nothing and
Saddam Hussein once again slaughtered them.
As MIT professor Noam Chomsky has pointed out, when Saddam Hussein used poison
gas on the Kurds, the U.S. reaction was not economic sanctions, but an actual increase in
foreign aid.
Given the sympathetic view most Americans have for the Kurds, I believe this extreme-
ly sad history of U.S. involvement against their aspirations would cause great protest if it
were widely know.
Sincerely,
Gary Sudborough

University presidents meet with BSGP about civility
by Sandy Wadding
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Eight members of the Board of
Student Government Presidents
(BSGP) traveled to Harrisburg
March 23 to present their issue of
the year, "Civility and Diversity,"
to the Board of University
Presidents.
The student leaders offered
background on the issue, high-
lighted programs on certain cam-
puses that are doing well, and
offered recommendations for pos-
sible next steps.
"Beyond academics, a civil
environment probably is the most
important aspect of a university
community," said Luke D.
Lorenz, president of Lock Haven
University of Pennsylvania's
Student Cooperative Council and
secretary/ treasurer of BSGP.
"Academic excellence requires a
civil environment in which to
learn. If the environment in
which to learn. If the environ-
ment is not good, certain groups
will be at a disadvantage."
"The best thing that can come
out of this is to know that our stu-
solution."
While student leaders did not
cite any major concerns on their
campuses, they said occasional
incidents of intolerance do sur-
face.
/ think we need to continue being very
aggressive in the way in which we give attentio to
this issue. I think we always need to be looking
at ways to educate students on civility and what it
means as far as being a part of a multicultural
society. 99

areas, from different religions and
ethnic groups."
"Pennsylvania has the fourth
largest number of hate groups in
the nation" Day said. Day said the
student leaders want to make cer-
tain that such groups never gain a
foothold at any of the state-owned
universities.
Many of the universities already
have programs in place to pro-
mote diversity, tolerance and
civility. Some are so effective
they are starting to be duplicated.
An example of an effective pro-
gram is the "Building Bridges"
program at Shippensburg
University, in which program vol-
unteers help facilitate open dis-
cussions about issues of concern
that may be raised by students or
faculty. The volunteers often visit
classrooms at the request of pro-
fessors after a potential problem
surfaces.
The program has been so suc-
cessful it has been adopted by
Clarion University and could soon
become a fixture on other cam-
puses as well.
'There are a lot of good pro-
grams already in place," said
Tammi B. Snyder, president of
Clarion University's Student
Senate and BSGP's parliamentari-
an. "We would like to see even
more students get directly
involved."
The student leaders will encour-
age the sharing of programs that
are currently in place, said BSGP

of West Chester University's

Senate Exec Board stipend plan announced
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
A plan to compensate three
members of Student Senate was
introduced at their meeting
Monday night.
Plans call for the president of
Student Senate to receive a schol-
arship for 50 percent of current
tuition. The vice president and
treasurer will receive scholarships
worth 25 percent of the tuition
rate.
If approved, compensation of
the three members of Senate
would begin in the fall semester of
the 2000-2001 academic year.
According to Patricia Meeley,
member of the Senate Stipend
Committee, several different
options were considered when the
stipend suggestion was made.
"We originally wanted the three
Senators to be treated as employ-
ees of the Clarion Students'
Association (CSA)," said Meeley.
"We discovered that they would
have taxes taken out of their pay-
check and, if any of the three
Senators were resident assistants,
they would be unable to take a
second job because they are
University employees."
Meeley said the stipend can be
applied "to expenses they deem
right or necessary." She did note,
however, that the scholarship can-
not be used toward tuition.
The current proposal is being
examined by Senate, and Meeley
said some changes may come
about during the review period. "I
am anticipating some changes to
the proposal before it gets
passed," she said. "There are
some questions that may need to
be answered."
The original reason for conven-
ing an ad hoc stipend committee

was to stimulate student interest in
student government, as well as
rewarding Senators for the work
that they do. In presenting the
proposal to Senate, Meeley pre-
sented information on compensa-
tion to members of student gov-
ernment at other State System of
Higher Education schools. At
nine other institutions, some or all
student government members
receive some form of compensa-
tion.
"This plan will not benefit us,
but it will reward those who come
after us," Meeley said.
The plan also establishes a poli-
cy for paid Senators who may
resign before their term has
expired. "Should a Senator resign
his/her position, that person will
only be paid for the percentage of
the term they served," the plan
states.

es. She noted that the way the
current proposal was drafted, it
will not require Senate to amend it
every year.
Despite possible questions from
her colleagues, Meeley is opti-
mistic that the stipend plan will
pass before the end of the academ-
ic year. "I am confident it will
pass," she said. "I think that most
of Senate is behind us."
In other business, Treasurer
Leslie Suhr announced that final
recommendations on the 1999-
2000 CSA budget will be made
this week and presented to Senate
at their next meeting. A vote to
approve the budget is expected to
come in two weeks.
Current totals in the accounts
were announced during the meet-
ing. There is $116,984 in the
large-item capital account and
$120,240 in the capital account.
$19,175 remains in the supple-
mental reserve account, and there
is $17,712 in the supplemental
account.
Student Facilities Committee
Chair Bobbi Botheil announced
that her committee's proposal to
convert the game room in the
Gemmell Student Complex into a
coffee shop got the approval of the
CSA Board of Directors. Botheil
said the Board would like more
details and cost figures concern-
ing the conversion, and she said a
more detailed analysis is forth-
coming.
Senate failed to pass a motion to
approve the Eagle Ambassadors for
funding after questions were raised over
which entity should be funding the orga-
nization. Because the organization
works with theAlumni Association to be
a "bridge" between students and alumni,
some Senators expressed concern that
Senate should not fund this organization.
The program was funded by the
Alumni Association, but that money has
since been withdrawn.
The next meeting of Student Senate

FACULTY SENATE
Will withdrawal restrictions increase probations?
by Angela Everly
Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor
At the Mar. 29 Faculty Senate
meeting Dr. Ralph Leary, chair of
the Academic Standards commit-
tee, commented on two issues
concerning the recent interest of
President Reinhard to enact a rule
to only allow five withdrawals
( W's) during a student's academic
career.
Leary found that based on infor-
mation of W's from the office of
Thomas Gusler, associate provost
for administration, students in
good academic standing are more
likely to withdraw than those stu-
dents on probation or who have
been suspended.
The Academic Standards
Committee speculated that if
withdrawing is a "strategy for stu-
dents who are in good academic
standing to keep that standing,
this policy may result in increased
number of students being on pro-
bation."
The Committee was also con-
cerned about juniors and seniors
using up withdrawals as under-
classmen and being placed on pro-
bation and face suspension later
on. While they are concerned
about encouraging seriousness
among students, Leary said the
committee is less convinced that
this policy will reduce the num-
bers of sections that need to be
offered because most courses are
offered in one or more sections.
The committee, said Leary, was
also concerned that this new poli-
cy would suggest and encourage
students to use all five with-
drawals whether they need them
or not.
Leary said his committee is also
troubled about the recent decision
to eliminate Project Success.
Project Success was a program
used to assist students who were
on academic probation. The
money that was used to fund this
program will now be used to fund
a government mandated program
and/or coordinator for students
with disabilities.

Faculty Senate closed their
meeting by having a discussion
concerning the General Education
requirements. The Chairs'
Council and the College of Arts
and Sciences raised several ques-
tions concerning general educa-
tion.
Professors were concerned
about the number of general edu-
cation courses and the importance
and placement of the courses on
either the right side or the left side
of the checksheets. The impor-
tance of linked, application, and

understanding of those require-
ments.

AmeriCorp:
by Patricia Boberg
Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor
The Keystone SMILES (Service
Making an Impact through
Learning Experiences with
Students) and AmeriCorps of Knox
programs are currently in a partner-
ship with Clarion University's
Department of Special Education
and Rehabilitative Science.
AmeriCorps has been a national
service program since 1994, work-
ing to provide thousands of
Americans with educational
awards in exchange for a year or
two of community service in
impoverished communities.
People of all ages and backgrounds
can participate in improving public
safety, education, human needs,
and the environment.
"Anyone of at least the age of 17
is enticed to join," said Marta
Alexander, Education Corps coor-
dinator. "The educational reward
is what we hope will bring in peo-
ple, though there are many other
incentives."
SMILES Education Corps con-
sists of three successful programs:
Superintendent's Initiative (SI);
Rural Pennsylvania Reads
(RPAR); and the Model Transition
Replication Program (MTRP).
These three programs together
serve thousands of Western
Pennsylvania students. All allow
teachers, students, and their school
districts to succeed to the best of
their abilities as a common goal.
Keystone SMILES is a non-prof-
it agency that employs 17 staff
members, 8 Volunteers In Service
To America (VISTA), a VISTA
leader and approximately 75
AmeriCorps members.
Transition is the newest program
in the education corps, serving ten
school districts. This program
"empowers AmeriCorps Members
and SMILES employees to help
special education and at-risk stu-
dents succeed in their life after high
school," according to Marta
Alexander and the staff.
SI members work on specific
tasks for districts that could not
provide a service otherwise.
Members monitor computer labs,
tutor, assist in special education
and much more. They serve in 1 5
Western Pennsylvania school dis-
tricts.
RPAR exists in five Western
Pennsylvania school districts. The
program members "strive to allow pri-
mary students to succeed by improv-
ing their reading to at or above grade
level by the end of third grade, this
national plan strives to use 100,000
volunteers," according to information
provided by Alexander.
The AmeriCorps program is current-
ly looking to recruit for the summer
and fall sessions.
The benefits to those involved
include stipend for living expenses
towards college, educational rewards,
training, experience working with
youth and, most importantly, the satis-
faction of helping rural communities.

approved, Haberaecker said a decision is hoped to be made by May 1 so
the University can advertise the fee increase to the students before many
of them go home for the summer.
In related news, there is a bill in the state Legislature that could allow
the cost of parking tickets to be increased from its current rate up to $25.
That bill may pass by January.
Currently, the state common law states that $5 is the maximum that
can be fined for a ticket.
If the bill passes, students who park illegally could face heavy fines.
The bill would also affect fees related to receiving a "boot" on a car and
drivers who illegally park in handicapped spots.
On April 12, students, faculty and administration were part of a round-
table discussion on campus issues, one of which was parking.
Faculty and students alike expressed disapproval in the proposed hike
in the fees.
Although students agreed that Clarion has one of the lowest parking
fees in the State System they said there needs to be a progressive
increase.
Dr. Haberaecker said, "Students also said that if faculty members don't
pay for permits, then the new proposed lots should be strictly student
lots."
Haberaecker said, "We hope to unify on-campus and off-campus park-
ing to ensure commuters parking."

UNIVERSITY °
A Member o/ Pennsylvania'*
Slate System of Higher Education
According to Haberaecker, the SSHE requires that the University have
at least two appraisals submitted when considering the purchase of prop-
erty.
Additionally, an environmental report is required to make sure that
there is nothing under the land or in the structure. The zone must be
declared "hazard free" and meet all necessary safety requirements.
"Because of the over-budgeting situation that the University is in, we
need to be very economical and very careful during the acquisition
process," Haberaecker said. There are some offers that we've had in
the past that we turned down because the asking price far exceeded its
worth."
She said the University will look at lands and set limits on how much
money it is willing to pay. Therefore, Haberaecker said the acquisition
of land is very difficult.
Haberaecker said the University is looking to create two new parking
lots within two years. With a cut in the current state appropriation, she
said the lot will most likely not be completed for next year.
Approval for the property purchase had to come from the Council of
Trustees because the money for the land will come from the operating
budget at Clarion University. It is part of a statute for all State System
mstituuons to gain approval lor property purchases from their Trustees
"Currently, we are trying to keep our ears open for available proper-
ty," Haberaecker said.
The land acquisitions that the University is making will all fit into the
long-range Facilities Master Plan. "We are hoping to move parking to a
close proximity to campus in the long range," said Haberaecker.

Parking, computer usage major
concerns of Slippery Rock students
Once again Slippery Rock University students had the opportuni-
ty to moan and groan about parking on campus as well as any com-
plaints concerning computers at SRU.
The University Forum met Thursday and gave faculty and students
the opportunity to voice their opinions about "The Perennial Parking
Problem" and "Computers on Campus: Availability and Usage."
Patrick Burkhart, assistant environmental geo-sciences professor,
was the moderator of the forum, introducing the issues intended for
discussion.
Parking on campus has been a problem for many people: residen-
tial students, commuters, and faculty.
Leo Geibel, university police captain, was among several univer-
sity faculty and staff attending the forum to discuss the parking
problem.
He stated that a parking committee - which he is in charge of • has
been in effect for several years. These individuals are in charge of
ticketing illegally parked vehicles daily.
Geibel said that for the past several months 1,500 tickets were
issued weekly, but have recently been cut down to 1,000 tickets
weekly.

IUP-Armstrong student may have
died from a drug overdose
An Armstrong campus Indiana University of Pennsylvania student
died from what is preliminarily being ruled a drug overdose. Chad
Hemmann, 19, was a freshman journalism major at RIP's Armstrong
campus.
He was found in an unresponsive condition in his residence hall
room in Minteer Hall.
Kittanning Ambulance Company paramedics treated him at the
scene and took him to Armstrong County Memorial Hospital for
emergency treatment.
According to the Allegheny County Coroner's office, Hemmann
died in the hospital aroun 3:13 p.m. of a combination drug over-
dose.
Armstrong County authorities are investigating the incident.
Counseling will be available to Armstrong students throughthe stu-
dent life office.
"We are terribly saddened by this tragic loss of life," IUP President
Lawrence K. Pettit said. "No parent should ever have to experience
the death of a child, and our thoughts and sincere condolences go out
to the Hemmann family and friends."

Elizabethtown's commencement will
host graduates from 1949
Elizabethtown College is commemorating both the achievements
of the class of 1999 and the College's Centennial celebration, mem-
bers of the class of 1949 will take part in commencement on May
15.
According to President Theodore Long, members of the class of
1949 will play "a very small part" in the festivities. During com-
mencement, the class of '49 will participate in procession and will
be seated alongside the Board of Trustees.
Long said the inclusion of the class of '49 during the procession is
important because the current graduating class will be supported by
those who experienced the same event 50 years ago.
"It's not anything that has to be done, but I think it's an attractive
thing," he said.

Greeks prove they can hit the high notes at Greek Sing
by Laura McNally
Clarion (Call Staff Writer
Greek Week started on
Friday, April 9 with melodious
tunes of the sororities and fra-
ternities on campus.
The evening started with a
welcoming introduction from
the Masters of Ceremony, Ken
Pruitt and Meggan Yoest.
Each fraternity and sorority
that participated presented a
formal and informal song for
the evening, and the formal
performances were presented
from the ladies, and the gen-
tlemen. There was a brief
intermission, and the informal
performances began. Each
fraternity and sorority was
judged on appearance, blend,
diction, and dynamics.
Choreography was included in
that list during the informal
performances.
Alpha Sigma Tau started the
evening off with a song called
"For Just a Moment" with two
of the sisters presenting sign
language. Zeta Tau Alpha
sang "Candle on the Water"
with sign language as well.
Phi Sigma Sigma sang
"Imagine" by John Lennon,
and Delta Zeta entertained the
audience with "Angel of
Mine" by Monica. Delta Phi
Epsilon sang "Closer to Fine"
by the Indigo Girls, and Sigma
Sigma Sigma sang "Galileo",
composed by Emily Sanders.
The fraternal arrangement of
the formal performances was
just as enthusiastic. Sigma
Chi sang a rendition of "Good
Riddance" by Green Day with
guitar accompaniment from
two brothers. Phi Sigma
Kappa also had guitar accom-
paniment for their formal
song, "More Than Words" by
Extreme. Kappa Delta Rho
sang an accapella version of
"Tulti Frutti", composed by
Little Richard. Sigma Pi
seemed to be the crowd
favorite with two soloists
showcasing their musical tal-
ent in the song "Ooh Child".
Sigma Tau Gamma had audi-
ence participation as everyone
clapped a long to "The
Gambler" by Kenny Rodgers.
After the brief intermission,
the informal performances
began with Alpha Sigma Tau
doing a choreographed dance
to "Cool Rider". Phi Sigma
Sigma did a choreographed
dance as well to "I Will
Survive" by Dino Fekaris and
Freddie Perren. Delta Phi
Epsilon incorporated Wizard
of Oz into their informal per-
formance with the song "Ease
on Down the Road". Delta
Zeta impressed the crowd with
an upbeat dance to
"Everybody" by the
Backstreet Boys. Sigma
Sigma Sigma sang and danced
to "Leaving on a Jet Plane",
originally sung by John
Denver. Zeta Tau Alpha
danced on stage as children, as
they sang "I Won't Grow Up",
composed by Carolyn Leigh
and Mark Charlap, from Peter
Pan.
With remarks from Ken
Pruitt, co-MC, saying that the
fraternities' informal perfor-
mances could very well be
suited for America's Funniest
Home Videos, the audience
prepared for some comedic
entertainment. Phi Sigma
Kappa started the fraternities'
informal performances off
with the song "Money For
Nothing" by Dire Straits, and
used a three-piece band,
including a drum set, and
shopping carts for props to
add to their choreography.
Sigma Chi demonstrated their
brotherly love by singing
"Margaritaville" by Jimmy
Buffet standing arm in arm.
Kappa Delta Rho incorporated
the popular television sitcom,
Cheers, when they sang the
"Cheers Theme." Sigma Tau
Gamma sang "Kung Fu
Fighting" by Carl Douglas, the
brothers of this fraternity
actually "kung-fu" fought
each other on stage. Wrapping
up the event, Sigma Pi dressed
and trounced around stage like
cavemen, as they sang "Walk
the Dinosaur" by Was Not
Was. They also included a
person in a large dinosaur cos-
tume as a prop.
After a slight break, and sev-
eral cheers from the sororities
and fraternities, the audience
was hushed with the news of
the victors of the 1999 Greek
Sing. For the sororities' for-
mal performances, the winners
were as follows: Phi Sigma
Sigma won third place, Zeta
Tau Alpha won second place,
and Delta Phi Epsilon cap-
tured first place. On the fra-
ternal side, Phi Sigma Kappa
won third place, Sigma Chi
won in the second place, and
Sigma Pi captured the title of
first place for their formal per-
formances.
The winners for the informal
performances were announced
directly after the formal per-
formances were announced.
The sorority winners are as
follows: Alpha Sigma Tau won
third place, Delta Phi Epsilon
won second place, and Zeta
Tau Alpha won first place.
The fraternity winners are:

Poetry Reading at Moore Hall
Nationally known poet entertains Clarion
by Laura Hauer
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Poet Mark Doty drew a
crowd of over 80 people,
including students, profes-
sors and community mem-
bers, to Moore Hall. He
filled the crowded room with
his mellow voice and amaz-
ing stage presence, reading a
mix of old and new poetry.
He also read prose from his
memoir Heaven's Coast and
from his new memoir,
Firebird.
Dr. Kevin Stemmler of the
English Department wel-
comed and introduced Doty.
Stemmler praised his images
of ocean, air and land, and
his ability to "locate what's
been lost. ..always leading
back to something found."
He referred to Doty as a
"great writer," saying that
"miracles are found in every
stanza."
Doty is the author of five
collections of poems: Turtle,
Swan ; Bethlehem in Broad
Daylight ; award-winning My
Alexandria ; Atlantis ; and
award-winning Sweet
Machine . He has received
the National Book Critics
Circle Award, the Los
Angeles Times Book Award,
the National Poetry Series, a
Whiting Writers Award,
Britain's T.S. Eliot Prize for
Poetry, as well as several
grants.
Doty began the reading
with his poem "My Tattoo,"
after telling the audience a
story about his experience of
wanting to get a tattoo. He
read and spoke with a charis-
matic presence, distinctly
pronouncing each word with
enthusiasm and inflection.
He often brought the audi-
ence to laughter with his
humorous anecdotes. His
reading was mostly
impromptu; he accommodat-
ed several requests from stu-
dents and faculty to read
from Heaven's Cost,
Firebird, and Sweet Machine.
Mark Doty also included
humorous poems like
"Rope," about his neighbor
in a town that is "well for the
eccentric" - an artist colony -
and his neighbor's dog, "New
Dog", and "Golden
Retrievals", a poem that was
published in a small antholo-
gy, Unleashed, including
poems written from the point
of view of the writer's dog.
He said that his dog had com-
municated this sonnet to him,
describing the dog as schol-
arly and intellectual.
Doty also read some very
serious poems, including
"Charlie Howard's Descent",
about a young gay man who
was pushed from a bridge and
"killed by three kids," com-
menting afterward that the
poem could be now rewritten
about Matthew Shepard. He
also read a poem called
"Visitation" about the beauty
and fear of a humpback
whale who swam into his pier
at Cape Cod.

After showing the audience
the picture on the cover of
his new memoir, Firebird.
Doty told the audience that
the picture is of himself at
age five, when he felt that he
was "responsible for the fate
of the planet." He said that
the book is about "what chil-
dren make of art and beauty."
Doty read a selection of the
book from his first-grade
year of school, in 1959,
bringing the audience to fits
of laughter with stories of his
classmates and "Little Miss
Sunbeam," the bread girl.
He ended the reading with a
poem called "Esta Noche,"
about a drag bar in San
Francisco. After the reading,
he thanked the audience with
a genuine kindness and was
thanked in return with a roar
of applause. Afterward, a
long line formed before Doty
so that he could sign books.
With each autograph, he
engaged in a friendly conver-
sation with each fan. After
the reading, Doty commented
to Dr. Stemmler that he was
"impressed" by Clarion stu-
dents; they were "receptive"
and "prepared for the read-
ing."
Doty had also held a work-
shop for students at 4 p.m.
that afternoon, March 29.
After this workshop, he went
to dinner with several stu-
dents and three faculty mem-
bers at the Captain Loomis
Inn. Students Val Tollini and
Colleen Reep said they had a
great time talking with the
very down-to-earth writer.
His visit was sponsored by
the English Department's
Visiting Writer's Series,
Sigma Tau Delta, the English
Club, Allies and Social
Equity.

Concert Review
Poetry for Charity
Korn and Rob Zombie bring Poetry reading
their hard rock show to
Penn State
benefits Komen
Foundation
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Korn and Rob Zombie, two of
alternative rock's most popular
acts, have joined forces to create
Rock is Dead, the most exciting
and over-the-top tour of the year.
On Monday, March 22, Korn and
Zombie put on an intense live
show at the Bryce Jordan Center
in State College, PA.
The evening's only major disap-
pointment was opening act
Videodrone, a rock/rap hybrid
band signed to Korn's new record
label. Despite the fact that they
were the only group on the Rock
is Dead tour without the aid of
extensive set design and pyrotech-
nics, Videodrone had a golden
opportunity to win some new fans,
a chance they effectively ruined
with their lackluster set. To be
blunt, the word that best describes
Videodrone's performance starts
with "sh" and ryhmes with "it".
Zombie's portion ol the show
was next, featuring the most out-
landishly incredible set design
I've ever seen at a rock concert.
As Zombie ripped through
favorites like 'More Human than
Human' and 'Living Dead Girl',
gigantic columns of flame shot
upward from the stage, video
screens showed a bizzare array of
animae and horror movie clips,
and topless go-go dancers rubbed
all over drummer Tempesta. In
fact, the stage design was so
amazing that it often distracted
from Zombie's performance.
Zombie seemed a little off in the
opening minutes of the concert,
missing a few lines here and there
during the first number,
'Superbeast'. He soon got back
into the swing of things, maintain-
ing his gravely energy through a
lightning-quick rendition of
'Thunderkiss '65' and his finale,
'Dragula.'
The creator of 'Hellbilly
Deluxe' kept constant dialogue
with the crowd at Bryce Jordan,
which he said had the smallest
floor audience he'd ever seen.
Zombie seemed to be having a
good time during the concert as he

stomped around the stage along-
side an assortment of costumed
characters, including a fifteen
foot-tall robot who joined him
during 'Meet the Creeper.'
Not to be outdone by Zombie's
freak show theatrics, Korn played
on a set designed to look like a
maximum security prison, com-
plete with barbed-wire tipped
watchtowers at each comer of the
stage. Each member of Kom took
the stage to the sound of air raid
sirens, with Jonathan Davis taking
the stage last, clad in a red kilt.
Korn immediately launched into
'Blind', which nearly tore the roof
off the Bryce Jordan Center.
During Korn's set, which ran
more than an hour long, the band
stuck mostly to their mainstream
singles, receiving huge reactions
for favorites like
'A.D.LD.A.S.'and 'Freak on a
Leash.' Kom's rendition of 'Got
the Life' garnered the second-
loudest cheers of the night. The
entire floor erupted into a huge
mosh pit as video clips played on
the large screen above the prison
set. Davis' screeching bagpipe
solo leading into 'Chutes and
Ladders' was another highlight, as
was Kom's first encore, 'F*ggot,'
a song many fans were screaming
for all night long.
Korn and Zombie gave all their
fans exactly what they were ask-
ing for: an evening of no-holds-
barred hard rock. The concert was
worth every penny I paid for my
ticket, every mile my friends and I
drove to get to State College, and
every bit of the long-term hearing
loss I probably suffered that
evening. Rock might be dead, but
it's certainly enjoying the after-
life.

Following their induction cer-
emony and a dinner prepared by
members, the English Club and
Sigma Tau Delta welcomed stu-
dents and faculty to read poetry
- either originals or favorites by
other authors at Moore Hall.
The event served as a fund-rais-
er for the Komen Foundation
for breast cancer awareness and
research.
A large crowd participated in
the reading, including not only
English Club and Sigma Tau
Delta members, but also a vari-
ety of students. Prior to the
reading, students and faculty
had signed up to read their cho-
sen works.
Dr. Kevin Stemmler and
Professor Stacy Byers orga-
nized the event, announcing the
readers before they approached
the podium. Both faculty mem-
bers, along with Dr. Larry
Dennis, also of (he English
Department, and Dr. Ed
Caropreso of the education
department, participated in the
reading. All faculty members
read original poetry.
Visiting writer Jeanne Marie
Laskas, the keynote speaker for
the next day's women's confer-
ence, also participated in the
reading. Laskas, a highly pub-
lished short story writer who
had led a workshop for students
that afternoon, read a traditional
prayer from the introduction to
a friends book.
Many of the poems focused on
the subject of loved ones whose
lives have been changed by

of money - around $325 - for
the Komen Foundation by sell-
ing ceramic pink ribbons which
represeni breast cancer aware-
ness. The clubs also raised
money for the foundation by
accepting donations for baked
goods.
Stemmler said that this event

'Never been Kissed' scores mixed reviews
He Said...
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
I've always dreamt that
someday a movie studio will
produce a film that accurately
portrays the uncertainty and
anxiety faced by typical high
school students. Instead of
casting stunnigly beautiful
twenty-something models to
play the popular kids and a
band of genetic misfits to por-
tray the school geeks, my dream
film will have ordinary-looking
actors dealing realistically with
teen issues. It'll be
truthful.. .It'll be honest....
It'll be a huge freaking flop
because no one but me would
ever want to see it. When it
comes to high school movies,
honesty is the worst imaginable
policy. There's a reason why
studios such as Twentieth
Century Fox pump-out candy-
coated drivel like 'Never Been
Kissed.' My high school was
just as boring as yours and you
couldn't pay me enough to go

back.
Unfortunately for Josie, she's
about as uncool as anyone
could possibly be. Teased mer-
cilessly throughout high school,
she's pined away the years
waiting for the perfect man to
enter her life and give her a
"real" first kiss. Josie' s vain
attempts to gain popularity light
a fire under her older brother,
who wasted away his life after
graduation. Rob reenters high
school with the hopes of catch-
ing the eyes of baseball scouts
and helps Josie to find the cool-
ness she's been searching for
her whole life.
At this point in Drew
Barrymore's career, its surpris-
ing she would pick a project as
inept as 'Never Been Kissed'.
Barrymore, Arquette, and
Shannon truly carry the film.
They're in great comedic form,
wringing big laughs out of sev-
eral scenes that could have been
easily bombed in the hands of
lesser talent. It's tough not to
feel sympathy for Josie, who
spends most of the film trying
to live down her old nickname,
"Josie Grossie", and pining for
her first true kiss. Arquette
works well in his role as Josie's
older brother, although at times
he comes across as a slightly
matured version of his unnamed
1-800-COLLECT character.
"Never Been Kissed" packs in
most of the modern teen movie
cliches, including a scene
where the biggest nerdette in
school removes her glasses to
reveal -Surprise,
Surprise !-she's a full-blown
hottie who's more than worthy
of the class studs' attention. As
for the prom scene.. .If you've
seen 'She's All That' or 'Ten
Things I Hate About You',
you've probably already got an
idea of how well 'Never Been
Kissed' recreates the atmos-
phere of a high school prom.
Maybe my school was under-
privleged, but our prom was
held at the Holiday Inn, not at
Bruce Wayne's mansion. As for
Ms. Palma's prom, which she
said was held at a Knights of
Columbus Hall with a bowling
alley in the basement, I suppose
that explains the tacky polo
shirt and multicolored rental
shoes she's wearing in her old
prom photos.
You just can't hate someone
as sweet as Drew Barrymore
and that's why it's impossible
to flat-out hate 'Never Been
Kissed'. But if not for the tal-
ents of Barrymore and
Arquette, 'Never Been Kissed'
wouldn't have been half as
engaging as a peck on the
cheek.
She Said...
by Kelly Palma
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Finally a movie with which I can
identify! Okay, okay I admit it I am
a true dork at heart. This is a movie
that everyone has something in
common with, there is a small part
of nerd in all of us. Also being a
true romantic at heart, I can't pass
up a good love story. Although the
movie has its faults, it was still thor-
oughly enjoyable. 'Never Been
Kissed' starring Drew Barrymore
and David Arquette is a nice roman-
tic comedy that had me laughing,
crying, and dancing all at the same
time in the theatre. The story fol-
lows Josie Geller, a copy editor at
the Chicago Sun Tunes who aspires
to be a writer. Her first assignment
is to go back to high school and do
an undercover expose on "What
kids are like today." Josie who was
nicknamed "Josie Grossie" the first
time she was in high school, returns
to once again become a member of
the nerd group. I personally would
not go back to high school for any
amount of money.
Josie tries and fails in many hilar-
ious scenes to become a member of
the cool crowd. Only with the help
of Rob, (David Arquette) her broth-
er does Josie become cool. She
unknowingly begins to fall in love
with her English teacher Sam
Coulson, portrayed by the oh so
cute Michael Vartan. I must concur
with Josie's heart, whoever did the
casting -fabulous!! He is absolute-
ly dreamy. Everyone has had that
one teacher that was just incredibly
gorgeous, and you would do any
homework they ever gave you
without any complaint
After Josie is accepted into the
"in" crowd it looks pretty much like
smooth sailing after that. The most
popular guy in the class, Guy, asks
her to prom and she goes shopping
with the popular girls. I must say
however the prom scene was very
unrealistic. Whose prom is that
flamboyant? What did they have a
million dollars to plan it? No, I
don't think so. My prom was in the
Knights of Columbus Hall that had
a bowling alley in the basement, not
a million dollar mansion. The prom
scene however, had the most acting
in it. The rest of the time it seemed
like Drew was just having a really
good time portraying Josie.
In the prom scene, close to the
film's end, Drew really dug deep
into her soul when all Josie's feel-
ings come to a point of no return. It
is either act now, or regret it for the
rest of her life. My favorite quote
of the film comes from Josie, who
states in horror, "What! You don't
think that I can grab the bull by the
balls."
Drew, who also executive pro-
duced the film was simply superb
and if she keeps going the way she
is, she could single handedly comer
the market for romantic comedies.
While I do agree with the majority
of Mr. Cody's article, his soliloquy
on teen movies clichds is the one
point with which I do not. Hello,
what kind of demographic is attend-
ing movies right now? Teenagers!
Why wouldn't the movie industry
want to profit from their audience.
So let me summarize Mr. Cody's
review for you. The song snippet
from the trailer seemed to be the
only thing that he was listening to.
For those of you who don't know,
the song is 'Candy in the Sun' by
Swirl 360. Mr. Cody were you
even awake in the movie, or were
you napping? Also, in response to
Mr. Cody's crack about my prom
photo, what was that about the
purple ruffled tux.. .did you say your
theme was 'The Wedding Singer'?
As for Mr. Cody being a true
romantic at heart, I will believe it
when I see it. My advice, take your
best gal pal and head to the nearest
theatre. Judging from Mr. Cody's
thoughts this is a certifiable chick
flick!

Track and Field Baseball
team breaks
records
by Megan Pavuk
t Cbrton CaU Staff Writer
On the track and in the field, the
Clarion Golden Eagles have been
facing the competiton, winning
races, and breaking school records
in a number of meets since before
Easter.
On March 26 and 27, Clarion
hosted the CU early bird meet.
Eleven schools made their way to
Clarion that weekend. A few stand-
outs in the meet included freshman
Tori Watt's performance in the 100
M. Watt broke the school record by
finishing in 12.7 seconds. Third
year runner Maureen Long took
first in the 800M and the 1,500 M.
Clarion took first in all three long
distance races: Rocky Wilson in the
3,000 M, Kelly Null in the 5,000 M,
Daria Diaz in the 10,000 M. As far
as jumping goes, Clarion also took
firsts: Melissa Yearous (High
jump), Kelly Pellegrino (Triple
jump), and Allison Ochs (Long
jump). Also finishing in first place
were Lisa Hamrick (Pole Vault) and
Kara Emrich (Shot put).
The men also has a few standouts
at the Early Bird meet. Gregg Wade
finished first in the two day long
Decathlon. Alvin Slaughter won
the 100 M in 10.9 seconds, and Ean
King led the 5,000 M race.
On the weekend of April 3, the team
split. Some went to Carnegie
Mellon and some traveled the
whole way to Duke.
At Duke, Clarion competed
against an incredible amount of
teams. Teams from across the
country, as well as a few from other
countries, made their way to Duke
to compete. Against this intense
level of competiton. Clarion rose to
the challenge. Outstanding perfor-
mances included Rocky Wilson's
record breaking run in the 3,000 M,
Heidi Shellgren's (Shot put) and
Lisa Hamrick's (Pole Vault) ninth
place finish and John Delliah mak-
ing the 1 10 Hurdle finals.
This past weekend, Saturday April
10, brought Edinboro and Slippery
Rock to Clarion for the Clarion Tri
Meet sponsored by Taco Bell. Both
the men and women took second
place.
The women continued to break
more school records: Melissa
Yearous cleared 5 '6", Lisa Hamrick
pole vaulted 9'6", and Heidi
Shellgren threw the javelin 104'0".
First place finishes in the men's
side were Kervin Charles (110 hur-
dles), John Dellich (High jump),
Justin Wise (Javelin), and Ean King
(5,000 M).
This coming Saturday, Clarion
will host the second PSAC series.
This series adopts a format of
scored track meets, containing 18
events for both males and females
and is designed to be spectator
friendly and completed in three
hours.
Last year, the United States Track
Coaches Association, USA Track
and Field, and the United States
Olympic Committee began the
series of meets throughout the
United States. The PSAC series
models the new format of scored
meets. The goal of the series is to
promote Track and Field nation-

Since PSAC West play
resumed March 28, the Clarion
Golden Eagles baseball team has
struggled to a 1-9 record.
Their overall record stands at 6-
13. Pitcher Chris Draxinger
recorded the lone win. The
Eagles have played two-game
series against Edinboro, Slippery
Rock, Cal (PA), Lock Haven,
and Indiana (PA).
On March 28, Clarion visited
Edinboro. The team dropped
both games. The first that day
was a 2-10 loss recorded by
Draxinger. The defeat was punc-
tuated by the fact that Edinboro
made only six hits. The second
loss, 6-9, was absorbed by David
Graham.

Contributing writer
The Clarion Golden Eagles softball
team has dropped a few close games
in the past week losing by a mere one
or two runs. "Right now we just need
to improve on our offense" said sec-
ond year coach Tina Gustely. "I think
that the freshman which make up a
majority of the team just needed to
get a couple of games under their hell
at the college level before they feel
comfortable at the plate," stated
Gustely. At this time in the season,
the team has as many as seven fresh-
man on the field at one time.
The team which consists of ten
freshman, four sophomore, one junior
and one senior is definitely young. "I
think that we have a very solid defen-
sive team right no. We have a field-
ing average of .941, so you can not
really get much better in that catego-
ry," said sophomore Christine Walker.
"This is probably one of the most tal-
ented teams that I have been a part of.
We really just need to come together
in the second half of the season so we
can take third place in our section,"
said senior Amy Varoli.
The Eagles have gotten consistent
production at the plate from freshman
Kristen Dinkel (.361 ), Melanie Brosiq
(.296), and Lindsey Jewett (.293) who
are leading the team in batting
Leading the team in RBI's are Jewett
( 15). Dinkel (14). and Walker (11).
Doing the majority of the pitching for
the Eagles is junior pitcher Diane
Whitesides. The team recently lost
sophomore pitcher Missy Giing to a
broken toe suffered in Florida, and a
sprained knew that was suffered in
her first game back. "I am just trying
to do my best out there until Missy is
able to play again," said Whitesides.
"1 think that with the youth on our
team now we arc not only a team that
has the ability to compete at this level,
now but also will be very hard to
defeat in the next couple of years"
said freshman Christina Stojny. If the
Eagles can pull off wins over Slippery
Rock and Edinboro this week they
look to move into fourth place in the
section. "Although we have lost a
couple of close games, I think that it
is just making us more focused as a
team and we sill have plenty of time
to make up for those loses because we
will face all of those teams again on
our home field," said freshman
Mandy Depp.

Eyes on the Prize
By Nathan Koble
Clarion Call
Contributing Writer
Alvin Slaughter pinches him-
self, but he's not dreaming.
While most seniors at Clarion
University are looking for jobs
and finalizing plans for graduate
school, Slaughter is taking a dif-
ferent avenue with his post-bac-
calaureate plans. The All-
American wide receiver/kick
returner has spent the past few
months preparing for what he
hopes will be a successful jump
from Division II to the profes-
sional football ranks. The first
step in that jump could come with
this weekend's NFL Draft.
"I'm stressed," he says.
"Everyone on campus is asking
me what I'm doing, if I'm going
to be drafted, and what team I'm
going to play for. I don't know
how to answer those questions.
I'm going to the draft, and I have
an opportunity."
At the conclusion of the 1998
season, Slaughter, who has
attained the services of
Harrisburg-based agent Michael
Clouser, sent highlight tapes to 21
NFL teams. Among the teams
showing the most interest are the
Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore
Ravens, and Cincinnati Bengals.
Teams making recent inquiries
include the St. Louis Rams,
Indianapolis Colts, and Green
Bay Packers.
While at Clarion, Slaughter
was perhaps the most entertaining
player to ever take the field for
the Golden Eagles. Slaughter set
numerous school records and
helped lead Clarion to the NCAA
Division II semifinals in 1996.
Slaughter might best be remem-
bered for the long touchdown
receptions and kick returns that
made many opponents wonder if
the No. 2 on his jersey was actu-
ally an inverted "S" for
"Superman." However, the "S"
word that surrounds Slaughter
now is "skepticism." While the
Carol City, Fl., native let his play-
ing do the talking for him at
Clarion, he now must answer
questions concerning the level of
play at Division II and his 5-10
height, which is perceived by
many as too small to play wide
receiver in the NFL.
"I read somewhere that the aver-
age height of an NFL receiver is
5-11 or 6-0, and they run a 4.52
(in the 40-yard dash)," said
Slaughter, who was recently
clocked at 4.47 in the 40. "Does
that mean that because I'm 5-10 1
don't meet the standard? Barry
Sanders is only 5-8 and he can
dunk a basketball. Height and
size don't matter that much. They
might matter in the trenches, but
I'm outside. I don't care if the
cornerback is 6-10. My job is to
catch the football."
In the lucrative business of pro-
fessional football, NFL scouts
typically aren't the magnanimous
type in the days and weeks lead-
ing up to the draft. Scouts won't
invest their time in someone they
don't have a significant interest
in. Those representatives have
been in constant contact with
Slaughter and his agent. Those
contacts have led to workouts,
which Slaughter terms as "meat
markets."
The first part of workouts
requires players dressed only in
shorts to be inspected by team
representatives for the possibility
of lingering effects of past
surgery (Slaughter has not had
surgery). Players then participate
in drills and fitness tests before
conversing with scouts from vari-
ous franchises. According to
Slaughter, much like a graduate
from Princeton or Yale may think
they have the upper hand in the
job search process, players from
big-time Division I schools enter
the workouts with a swagger of
their own.
"They walk in with their Nike
and Reebok (gear) from their
school with their noses up in the
air," he says.
However, coming from a small-
er school hasn't taken the spring
out of Slaughter's step.
"I always thank them for bring-
ing me out to show them what I
can do, but when I'm out there I
always think I'm the best player.
There are guys there from places
like Pitt, Ohio State and Penn
State. We'll be working out and
they'll look that I'm from Clarion
and say, 'This guy's nothing.' But
the thing is I'm physically more
mature than most of those guys,"
says Slaughter, who benchpresses
360 pounds.
With the start of the draft just
two days away, Slaughter admits
he's not sure what to expect. The
Steelers, Bengals, and Ravens —
three teams who need help in the
receiving and kick returning corps
— have all shown strong interest
in his services. If Slaughter is not
claimed in the draft, he fully
expects to be picked up as a free
agent and participate in a mini-
camp. That route has its benefits
for the wide receiver, as it would
allow him more control over what
situation he wants to find himself
in.
"That's putting the ball in my
court," he says.
Many observers immediately
point to the Canadian Football
League and the Arena Football
League when discussing the pro-
fessional prospects of talented
players from smaller schools.
Slaughter has heard the input
from those observers, but keeps
his focus on his ultimate goal.
"The Canadian and Arena teams
know who I am. That will always
be there," he says.
"If I'm not concentrating on the
NFL and I start looking at other
options, that means I'm giving up
on this."
When speaking with Slaughter,
it doesn't take long to realize that
he is a man focused on a goal —
not a dream. If desire was the
lone trait NFL teams sought, he
might be the No. 1 pick in the
draft.
"If I'm given the opportunity, I
will perform," he says. "I know I
can play in the NFL. I know I
can. As long as I know it in my
heart, it's going to keep me dri-
ving that way."

Tammi, a Communication major, is graduating this May.
This past summer I had the
opportunity to live and work in

Throughout my time there I
camped and hiked miles into the
backcountry; hitchhiked through-
out the park; saw many types of
wildlife: went rock climbing; and

I chose Yellowstone because I

Summer '98 was my last "free"
summer before graduation, and I
knew I had to take advantage of it.
Calling a 1-800 number for YNP,
I had a job and before I knew it a
place to live. By the end of May
*98 my bags were packed, and I
was headed to Wyoming. I was
going to be a server at the Canyon
Lodge.
Although my job brought me to
Yellowstone, it was not the reason
why I was there. My intentions
were to go someplace different
and exciting. I wanted to experi-
ence new things and meet new
people. I wasn't there to work. I
was looking forward to hiking,
camping, climbing and simply
enjoying my time in a National
Park. I was there to travel and see
the other end of the country.

Making money on the side was a
definite plus, but not the focus of
my intentions.
Although I did work, I still man-
aged to get about three days off a
week. In those few days I would
travel as far as I could.
Sometimes I would stay inside the
park and visit the many attractions
that bring thousands of tourists
there every year. Other times I
would hitchhike outside of the
park and visit nearby cities. No
matter what I did, I always found
something to keep me interested
and busy.
Most of my time was spent try-
ing to hike on as many trails as
possible. However, this was diffi-
cult because of my location.
Since I was stationed at the
Canyon Lodge, (highest village in
the park), I was a good distance
from some of the best trails.
Many employees, including
myself, did not have a means for
transportation. If we wanted to
see the park, the easiest way for us
to get around was to hitch a ride.
If I was traveling outside the
park, I would always hitch with a
friend. But when I was inside the
park, I would often go by myself.
I wasn't worried going alone
because the majority of people
driving inside the park were either
employees or tourists. People
were there to enjoy the park and
see the attractions. There was lit-
tle fear to hitchhike, and it was not
uncommon to see many people
doing so on a daily basis.
It snowed for the entire month of
June 1998. it was my first month
there, and it was not what I
expected for my summer vaca-
tion. Many people quit during
this time because it was so dreary
and cold. Employees and tourists
could barely enjoy the park
because everything was so wet
and gloomy. Nobody wanted to
spend three days in the backcoun-
try with inches of snow on the
ground and freezing temperatures.
It was a blessing when the first
of July came because tempera-
tures turned around completely.
The entire month was bright blue
skies and warm weather. The
change in weather helped project
the true beauty of the park. More
trails opened up along with tourist
attractions and campsites. Living
in Yellowstone for the summer
allowed me to experience more of
its natural features; something I
probably wouldn't have had the
opportunity to enjoy during any
other season.
Some days when I had the after-
noon off I would go to "the fire-
hole." This was a little pool-like
cove where people could swim. It
was called "the firehole" because
the Firehole River was the source
of its water. Surrounding the cove
were cliffs that people could drive
from. I dove a few times from one
of the cliffs, as did many of my
friends. Although it was illegal,
many people continually took
advantage of diving from the
cliffs.
Camping on Shadow Mountain
in Grand Teton National Park was
another awesome experience. I
went with three other people and
although we were supposed to
meet up with about eight others, it
never worked out. Even with the
confusion, we still had a great
time. We picked sunflowers that
were my height and cooked a
descent meal. In the morning, we
woke up to the best view of the
Grand Teton, which was directly
across form where we camped.
The next day we hike "paint-
brush" canyon. It is called "paint-
brush" because of the large num-
ber of very different and very col-
orful flowers that grow alongside
the trail. The hike took us six
miles straight up the mountain to a
place called Holly Lake. When
we arrived at the lake, it was near-
ly all frozen. Snow was covering
the ground where we were stand-
ing. It didn't take us long to start
back down the mountain, where it
was sunny and bright. By the time
we got to our starting point, we
were exhausted and ready to
leave.
The time I spent in Yellowstone
was amazing. It was able to do so
many different things and visit so
many places. Along with the
things I already mentioned, I also
went to Livingston and Bozeman,
Montana, Jackson Hole,
Wyoming and even Targhee,
Idaho. I relaxed in the warm
water at Chico Hot Springs, went
to a blue-grass festival and even
stayed in both West Yellowstone
and Gardiner, Montana.
In just about two months I expe-
rienced so much. The pictures I
brought home look like authentic
postcards; the people I met were
awesome and the experience I
received were outstanding. I def-
initely fell in love with
Yellowstone, and plan on return-
ing sometime in the near future. I
can only encourage others to try
what I did for one summer. It was
definitely a great opportunity.

Sports Editor speaks out
to defend CALL writer in
recent letters to the
Editor
In the March 25 editon of
THE CALL, two letters to the
editor expressed anger and
disgust due to Ken Bedford not
getting the spotlight he
deserved.
First off, Lori Hynes, the staff
writer responsible for the story,
mentioned Bedford's accom-
plishment in the article.
Though to some it was not
enough, her work and her
desire to succeed was in no
means to shun Bedford. With
the two of them being
teammates and close friends, I
do not see how that can be rude
on her part. She did her job
and used all the information she
had.
I honestly feel that before
these letters were written that
you (those of you who felt Ken
was neglected) would of took
into consideration that there
were 4 weeks left in the semes-
ter that THE CALL would be
published and due to so much
going on in the news that
week(theweek Bedford was
not mentioned) he was going to
get his turn.
The article used in the March
25 edition was to be used in the
March 18 edition, but like I
said, due to so much going on
in the news, I, the Sports Editor
took the initative to decide
what goes in and what does
not.
I am appaulled by the
accusations of being biased
between the swimmers and
divers. To those who felt this
way, I'm sorry. But I was a
sports writer for two years
before I held this position. For
those two years I covered
swimming and diving and I
never once was biased between
the members of the team and I ;
feel Lori was not either. Fact
of this statement can be found
in THE CALL'S archives here
in THE CALL office.
Bedford has made his accom
plishments here at Clarion and
has been recognized for every
one of them, but to say THE
CALL is biased, that is wrong.
THE CALL has given Bedford
every ounce of recognition he
has earned.

ond straight year. She also was
second in the 400 Individual
Medley, third in the 1650
freestyle, fourth in the 100 breast-
stroke and on 3 strong All-
American relays. Earning 7 All-
American placings this year, she
finished her career as a 28-time
All-American (the maximum pos-
sible), a 5-time NCAA Champion
and an 18-time PSAC Champion.
With Tillotson leading the way,
Clario placed third at the NCAA's
in 1998, fourth in 1999 and 97 and
fifth in 1996. The Eagles won
PSAC tides in 96, 97 & 98 and
were second in 1999. She was
PSAC "Swimmer of the year" in
1998, PSAC "Rookie of the year"
in 1996, and a 4-time PSAC and
Clarion "Scholar Athlete" and has
twice earned Clarion University's
"Women's Athlete of the Year"
award in 1997 and 1998.
"We're so happy for her
(Tillotson)," said swimming
head coach Bill Miller. "She
is an outstanding student and
athlete who always pushes to
be her best. We're extremely
proud to have her here at

An Experience at one of the most spectacular
ranges in North America

Tammi Snyder, posing in front of the jewel of Wyoming, The Grand Teton Range, is on
one of the many journeys Synder explored and ventured through this past summer.
Tammi, a Communication major, is graduating this May.
This past summer I had the
opportunity to live and work in
Yellowstone National Park.
Throughout my time there I
camped and hiked miles into the
backcountry; hitchhiked through-
out the park; saw many types of
wildlife: went rock climbing; and
even traveled to both Idaho and

Montana. The friends I met and

I chose Yellowstone because I
had always wanted to go west.
Summer '98 was my last "free"
summer before graduation, and I
knew I had to take advantage of it.
Calling a 1-800 number for YNP,
1 had a job and before 1 knew it a
place to live. By the end of May
'98 my bags were packed, and I
was headed to Wyoming. I was
going to be a server at the Canyon
Lodge.
Although my job brought me to
Yellowstone, it was not the reason
why I was there. My intentions
were to go someplace different
and exciting. I wanted to experi-
ence new things and meet new
people. I wasn't there to work. I
was looking forward to hiking,
camping, climbing and simply
enjoying my time in a National
Park. I was there to travel and see
the other end of the country.

Making money on the side was a
definite plus, but not the focus of
my intentions.
Although I did work. 1 still man-
aged to get about three days off a
week. In those few days I would
travel as far as I could.
Sometimes I would stay inside the
park and visit the many attractions
that bring thousands of tourists
there every year. Other limes I
would hitchhike outside of the
park and visit nearby cities. No
matter what I did, I always found
something to keep me interested
and busy.
Most of my time was spent try-
ing to hike on as many trails as
possible. However, this was diffi-
cult because of my location.
Since I was stationed at the
Canyon Lodge, (highest village in
the park), 1 was a good distance
from some of the best trails.
Many employees, including
myself, did not have a means for
transportation. If we wanted to
see the park, the easiest way for us
to get around was to hitch a ride.
If I was traveling outside the
park, I would always hitch with a
friend. But when I was inside the
park, I would often go by myself.
I wasn't worried going alone
because the majority of people
driving inside the park were either
employees or tourists. People
were there to enjoy the park and
see the attractions. There was lit-
Ue fear to hitchhike, and it was not
uncommon to see many people
doing so on a daily basis.
It snowed for the entire month of
June 1998. it was my first month
there, and it was not what I
expected for my summer vaca-
tion. Many people quit during
this time because it was so dreary
and cold. Employees and tourists
could barely enjoy the park
because everything was so wet
and gloomy. Nobody wanted to
spend three days in the backcoun-
try with inches of snow on the
ground and freezing temperatures.
It was a blessing when the first
of July came because tempera-
tures turned around completely.
The entire month was bright blue
skies and warm weather. The
change in weather helped project
the true beauty of the park. More
trails opened up along with tourist
attractions and campsites. Living
in Yellowstone for the summer
allowed me to experience more of
its natural features; something I
probably wouldn't have had the
opportunity to enjoy during any
other season.
Some days when I had the after-
noon off I would go to "the fire-
hole." This was a little pool-like
cove where people could swim. It
was called "the firehole" because
the Firehole River was the source
of its water. Surrounding the cove
were cliffs that people could drive
from. I dove a few times from one
of the cliffs, as did many of my
friends. Although it was illegal,
many people continually took
advantage of diving from the
cliffs.
Camping on Shadow Mountain
in Grand Teton National Park was
another awesome experience. I
went with three other people and
although we were supposed to
meet up with about eight others, it
never worked out. Even with the
confusion, we still had a great
time. We picked sunflowers that
were my height and cooked a
descent meal. In the morning, we
woke up to the best view of the
Grand Teton, which was direcUy
across form where we camped.
The next day we hike "paint-
brush" canyon. It is called "paint-
brush" because of the large num-
ber of very different and very col-
orful flowers that grow alongside
the trait. The hike took us six
miles straight up the mountain to a
place called Holly Lake. When
we arrived at the lake, it was near-
ly all frozen. Snow was covering
the ground where we were stand-
ing. It didn't take us long to start
back down the mountain, where it
was sunny and bright. By the time
we got to our starting point, we
were exhausted and ready to
leave.
The time I spent in Yellowstone
was amazing. It was able to do so
many different things and visit so
many places. Along with the
things I already mentioned, I also
went to Livingston and Bozeman.
Montana, Jackson Hole.
Wyoming and even Targhee.
Idaho. I relaxed in the warm
water at Chico Hot Springs, went
to a blue-grass festival and even
stayed in both West Yellowstone
and Gardiner, Montana.
In just about two months I expe-
rienced so much. The pictures I
brought home look like authentic
postcards: the people I met were
awesome and the experience I
received were outstanding. I def-
initely fell in love with
Yellowstone, and plan on return-
ing sometime in the near future. I
can only encourage others to try
what I did for one summer. It was
definitely a great opportunity.

Sports Editor speaks out
to defend CALL writer in
recent letters to the
Editor
In the March 25 editon of
THE CALL, two letters to the
editor expressed anger and
disgust due to Ken Bedford not
getting the spotlight he
deserved.
First off, Lori Hynes, the staff
writer responsible for the story,
mentioned Bedford's accom-
plishment in the article.
Though to some it was not
enough, her work and her
desire to succeed was in no
means to shun Bedford. With
the two of them being
teammates and close friends, I
do not see how that can be rude
on her part. She did her job
and used all the information she
had.
I honestly feel that before
these letters were written that
you (those of you who felt Ken
was neglected) would of took
into consideration that there
were 4 weeks left in the semes-
ter that THE CALL would be
published and due to so much
going on in the news that
week(the week Bedford was
not mentioned) he was going to
get his turn.
The article used in the March
1 25 edition was to be used in the
| March 18 edition, but like I
| said, due to so much going on
fin the news, I, the Sports Editor
hook the initative to decide
Iwhat goes in and what does
|not.
| I am appaulled by the
jaccusalions of being biased
| between the swimmers and
jdivers. To those who felt this
jway, I'm sorry. But I was a
I sports writer for two years
| before I held this position. For
| those two years I covered
swimming and diving and I
never once was biased between
the members of the team and I
feel Lori was not either. Fact
of this statement can be found
in THE CALL'S archives here
in THE CALL office.
Bedford has made his accom-
plishments here at Clarion and
has been recognized for every
one of them, but to say THE
CALL is biased, that is wrong.
THE CALL has given Bedford
every ounce of recognition he
has earned.

Clarion Call
Sports Editor
Richard Herman, sports informa-
tion director at Clarion
University, was named the 1998
SID/Publicist of the year as
selected by the National Wrestling
Media Association (NWMA).
The award was presented to
Herman Saturday, March 20,
before the finals of the 69th
NCAA Division I Wrestling
Championships in State College.
Wrestling is the only Division I
sport at Clarion University.
"This is very special," said
Herman, who joined Clarion in
1980. "To receive this award is
great. I spend most of my time
promoting other people. Getting
an award of this magnitude is very
rewarding".
Herman joined a radio team with
the late George Williams on
WOWQ radio in Dubois to broad-
cast Clarion wrestling matches
during the early 1980's.
Following Williams death in
1988, Herman broadcasted
matches for another year on
WOWQ. Since the 1989-90 sea-
son, Herman has broadcasted the
wrestling matches for WWCH
radio in Clarion. He was joined in
the broadcast booth this year by
former coach Bob Bubb.
He credits Bubb and former assis-
tant wrestling coach Jack Davis
with showing him the ins and outs
.of wrestling after his arrival at
Clarion in U>80. "I didn't have
much background in wrestling
when I came to Clarion," said
Herman. "Neither my high
school or nor my college spon-
sored the sport. I give a lot of
credit to Bubb and Davis for giv-
ing me a crash course in wrestling
and continuing to help me learn
more about the sport," Herman
added.
Herman is in his 19th year at
Clarion. He pioneered several
innovations at Clarion including
becoming the first Division II col-
lege to have its media guides on
the World Wide Web, the first
Division II college to computerize
its basketball statistics during the
1997-98 season, and in 1987
Herman made Clarion among the
first in the nation to provide
phone-in result information
through the Golden Eagle
Hotline.
Besides his SID duties, Herman is
in his 18th season as CU's base-
ball coach. He is starting his 11th
year as head coach and previously
spent seven years as an assistant
for head coach Barry McCauliff,
Associate Professor/Speech
Communication and Theatre
Department. He is an original
member of the Clarion University
Sports Hall of Fame committee,
serving several years as commit-
tee chair. A top promoter of All-
Americans, he has promoted 68
football Ail-Americans in the last
16 years.
Herman has won 18 citations
from CoSida for award winning
publications and is vice chair of
CoSida's nation-wide
Publications Contest Committee.
With the PSAC, he served as foot-
ball SID from 1985-93 and as vice
president of the PSAC SID's from
1988-92.
"I give a lot of credit to my wife
Paula. I spend a lot of time on the
road every year and she is very
supportive," Herman added.
Others honored by NWMA for
1998 included: Clarion University
alumni Wade Schalles as Print
Journalists of the Year for "WIN

$100 PARKING PASSES: Student Senate responds
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
Clarion University students would pay the
highest rates in the State System for parking
if the recently proposed increase is approved
by President Reinhard.
"We would clearly be the highest (in park-
ing fees)," said Dr. Heather Haberaecker,
vice president for finance and administra-
tion, at Monday's Student Senate meeting
Haberaecker came to Senate and listened
to many questions and concerns from
Senators about this proposal. If the propos-
al gets the ok from Reinhard, juniors and
seniors will pay $50 a year for parking per-
mits and freshmen and sophomores will pay
$100 a year.
This increase is neces-
sary, said Haberaecker,
for the University to pay
to develop recently pur-
chased land into new
parking lots, in line with
the Facilities Master
Plan. She presented
Senate with short-term
and long-term strategies
to improve the parking
situation on campus.
"I know this is
Haberaecker said.
The proposed increase was met with con-
cern by several members of Student Senate.
Haberaecker
not a popular fee,'
As long as parking for free
is considered a condition of
employment, faculty and staff
will not pay to park. 99
-Dr. Heather Haberaecker
Vice-President
Finance and Administration
Senator Ryan Lewis asked whether the fee
increase would decrease the amount of cars
that students would bring to campus.
Haberaecker pointed to focus group meet-
ings, saying that most students, when asked,
said that permit fees would have to be $200
or more before it became a deterrent to stu-
dents bringing their own transportation.
Senate Vice President John Brown won-
dered why faculty and staff are not included
in this proposal. Haberaecker said that in
order for faculty and staff to pay, it would
have to be re-negotiated in the contracts of
the six collective bargaining units with
which the University is involved. "As long
as parking for free is considered a condition
of employment, faculty and staff will not pay
to park," she said.
One portion of the proposal mat drew
Senate's ire was to increase the radius of
ineligibility for parking permits from its cur-
rent Seventh Ave. to Fourth Ave., which
Haberaecker said would result in 216 fewer
students parking on-campus. Questions
were raised by Senators Patricia Meeley and
Dan Mellon about the safety of students,
especially female students, walking to and
from campus from that distance, especially
late in the evening.
Senator Mitch Augustine wondered if a
better solution to the parking situation is by
not allowing freshmen to have cars on cam-
pus at all. "The president said it is not an
option," Haberaecker said. "We had to pro-
vide freshmen parking."
Haberaecker said the president is con-
cerned about an enrollment loss if freshmen
are not allowed to bring cars to the
University.
Despite Haberaecker's visit to Senate, the
ultimate decision about whether the fee will
increase falls on the shoulders of Dr,

A Saturday night raid of the Theta Xi fra-
ternity house netted more than 30 arrests
for underage drinking.
After the raid, 32 underage drinking cita-
tions were issued on April 17 at 1 1:30 p.m.
at the house, located on S. 5th Ave. One
person was arrested for simple assault, and
another was cited for disorderly conduct,
according to state police at Punxsutawney.
Additionally, police said criminal charges

holic beverages to minors and sales of
alcoholic beverages without a license.
Police said the 32 students who were
cited for underage drinking face a license
suspension of 90 days and a maximum fine
of $300 plus costs.
The raid involved the state police and the

CU's high priced
parking solution
We would like to first applaud the University's efforts
in the purchasing of two new lot to be made into parking
lots. It is a good time to buy land, and, is a sound invest-
ment for the university, as it works towards advancing the
Master plan.
But, while the intentions of the university were good,
the ramifications of the purchases are hitting students
right in their wallets.
The students' concern over the increase in parking pass-
es starts with the $85 increase that is being proposed to
Dr. Reinhard. And, although the students do believe that
an increase in available parking spaces is necessary, stu-
dents also feel that an $85 increase is excessive.
Yes, we can admit that Clarion students get off easily
by only having to pay a minimal $15 dollar fee to park.
But, we aren't a large, urban area where parking is a pre-
mium. And to increase the fee by quadrupling the price
catches students otf-guard.
Students need to see immediate change for the money
that they pay. If the lots are going to be in use for next
year and there is guaranteed parking, students wouldn't
have as great of an opinion. But, just like students in the
past, it is a trend that students hate to pay for something
that they will not benefit from. And we are already doing
hat with the Student Recreation Center.
We also believe that it will be at a disadvantage to the
university when recruiting students. Also, it will be
extremely difficult for the university to restrict students
from bringing a car to campus. And what about out-of-
state students who need a car for travel?
Is the lot going to be totally student populated since we
are the ones that are paying for the purchase of two
lands? What about restricting the students from driving
to campus who now live within 1 mile of campus?
Safety issues, on and off campus living, and commuting
students need to be taken into consideration.
Should comments be made about students and their
lack of participation on Parking Committee, FPC, and
voicing concern about parking to their Student Senators?
Your Views
Media's light tarnishes Greek system
First of all we would like to thank everyone for par-
ticipating in and supporting Greek Week. It's a shame
that all the hard work, dedication, and determination
by the Greek System is overshadowed by the negativ-
ity fabricated by certain media organizations.
The media tends to influence the general public by
illustrating negative incidents by Greek organizations.
Two minor altercations received a lot of radio air time
and multiple front page spreads on newspapers. This
news traveled all over the state of Pennsylvania. By
being selective of the Greek Organization's actions
the media tends to display only a negative aspect of
Greek Life. We ask you this question: If the alterca-
tions wouldn't have involved Greeks would they have
received as much press?
We sincerely wish that the Greek System would
receive as much positive press for the good things we
do, as we do for our negative actions. Fraternities and
sororities spend countless hours raising money for
good causes and participating in community services.
For example to single out our own fraternity, within
the last year we have accumulated 889 hours of com-
munity service, had a food and clothing drive, col-
lected children's books as a part of a national effort to
improve literacy, and raised over six-hundred and
fifty dollars for the Eli Guntrum Transplant Fund by
way of a brother auction. None of these events
received any publicity besides advertisements.
Although publicity is not the reason we do these ser-
vices, we should not have to defend ourselves evey
time the Greek System is mentioned. Maybe if this
public knew more about the Greek System other than
only the negatives, we won't have such a bad reputa-
tion. The Greek System as a whole does many things
that go unmentioned. To list a few: the Delta Phi
Epsilon sorority raises money through a sister auction
each year, the Sigma man of the year was sponsored
by the Tri-Sigs, Sigma Chi's Derby Days, Theta Xi's
sleep-out for the homeless, and countless others have
contributed many hours and donated money to worth-
while causes. These positive actions go unnoticed.
In conclusion, the Greek System as a whole pro-
vides many positive services to the community that
get overshadowed by a negative reputation. The
media jumps at the chance to slander or throw pot-
shots at the Greek System. We hope that someday the
media will have enough guts to show both sides of the
spectrum and not just the side that sells newspapers.

Double fun
"What's it like to be a twin?" is
probably the question I am most
often asked.
"What's it like NOT to be a
twin?" is usually my response.
Being a twin is normal: it's an
enormous part of who I am. I am
an individual, yet I am closely
connected with my twin in a bond
that most people do not under-
stand.
Only twins understand and share
this special connection. To me,
being a twin is a positive experi-
ence. I have a built-in best friend
who shares my laughs, tears,
smiles, worries, and joys. Being a
twin, I have double the clothes.
gilts, and friends. Helping with
homework, sharing secrets, and
switching classes all come with
being a twin. I am extremely
lucky and fortunate to have this
incredible life: the life of a twin.
"You're going to have to push
again; there's another one up
there," the doctor said. "Another
what?!" was my dad's reply. Cara
and I were born six weeks prema-
ture on June 17, 1977. We were
born under the astrological sign
Gemini - the sign of the twins.
Born five minutes before me, Cara
weighed three pounds seven
ounces, and I was three pounds
five ounces. My parents had no
idea they were having twins; in
fact, the doctor told them it was
one boy! My mom had gotten an
ultrasound, but they only heard
one heartbeat.
Because we were so tiny, we had
to stay in the hospital for exactly
one month. We were released
from Lee Hospital in Johnstown
on July 17 - three days before the
Johnstown Flood of 1977.
since birth, Cara and I have been
extremely close. The nurses told
my mom that neither one of us
could fall asleep unless some part
of our bodies were touching.
for 20 years, Cara and I did not
know if we were identical or fra-
ternal twins. Identical twins are
the result of a single fertilized egg
splitting in two. Identical twins
are always the same sex and have
the exact same genetic makeup.
Fraternal twins result when two
separate eggs are fertilized.
Fraternal twins are no more genet-
ically alike than other siblings.
When we were born, the doctor
told my mom he thought we were
fraternal, but he wasn't sure. Cara
and I wanted lo find out, not just
because of curiosity but for a med-
ical purpose as well. Identical
twins are the only twins where the
organs of one twin will always be
accepted by the other. Neither of
us have any medical problems, but
we wanted to know if we had this
safety barrier, just in case.
Finally in the summer of 1997,
Cara and I were asked to take part
in a twin study being done by the
University of Pittsburgh. Besides
being paid $115 each, the study
would determine if we were iden-
tical or fraternal twins. The study
was a two-day process and con-
sisted of personality questions,
mental and skill abilities, and
physical tasks. We also had to fast
for 12 hours because of the
mandatory blood work. Blood
was taken to determine if we were

Editorial
"It was actually
quite encouraging to
hear our fraternities
and sororities cheering
for each other"
Jeff Say, Lifestyles Editor
If you've been following the
news and the rumors on the
Clarion campus lately, you would
know that our Greek system here
has come under heat as of late.
Now I am a member of this
Greek system, and since I went
Greek last semester I have seen
several incidents take place, and it
makes me ask the age-old ques-
tion; "Why can't we all just get
along?"
These events that have taken
place have mostly dealt with the
parties involved squabling over an
issue. We're all adults here (at
least I hope we are by this time in
our lives), why can't we sit down
and talk things out instead of hav-
ing to brawl?
LInfortunately our actions have
caused Clarion University grief
and given the campus and sur-
rounding communities a reason to
look down on us. There is always
the "Animal House' stereotype that
we are constanUy trying to over-
come and lately we've just added
fuel to the fire.
To the non-greeks, don't look
down on the entire Greek system
because a few bad eggs have
messed up. Like anybody in life
we all make our mistakes; we have
to learn from our mistakes, and
I'm sure the Greek system has
learned from ours.
This is a plea from a fellow
Greek to the rest of the Greek sys-
tem. Let's make the best of what's
left of this semester. Let's follow
in the success of Greek Week
where we all came together and
made a positive image for our-
selves. We were all able to coexist
for one week and be able to com-
pete against one another and no
problems arose. If this can happen
for one week, why can't this hap
pen every day. It was actually
quite encouraging to hear our fra-
ternities and sororities cheering for
each other. Even though the com-
petition was fierce, it was all for
fun, and we need to learn from this
week and just have fun with each
other every week.
What I ask is that every week
should be Greek Week, not that we
have events every week but that
the respect and admiration contin-
ues for the rest of the semester
and, hopefully, for an extended
amount of time here at Clarion.

Earth Day founder posts challenge
For today's college students, there has always been
Earth Day. Growing up almost all of you participat-
ed in school, scout, or community activities that
marked this occasion.
But as recently as 1969, there was nothing called
Earth Day. As a U.S. Senator, I was dismayed the
Senate and the rest of the political establishment
were simply blind to the environmental deterioration
all around us I could count on one hand the number
of Senators who would have described themselves as
"environmentalists," and I was searching for some
way to change that.
From my travels around the country, I knew
Americans were much more awareof and concerned
about the state of the environment than the political
establishment. Finally it occurred to me that if we
could organize a huge national demonstration on
behalf of the environment it might force the issur
onto the nation's political agenda.
On the first Earth Day April 22, 1970, some 20
million Americans took part in a wide range of activ-
ities. Just as remarkable was the fact that I did not
organize all this; students and teachers and other cit-
izens simply felt strongly enough about the planet's
condition that they rushed to support the cause.
American Heritage Magazine called Earth Day "one
of the most remarkable happenings in the histroy of
democracy." I never dreamed that 29 years later
Earth Day would still be going strong.
Will the new millennium be good-or bad-for our
planet's health? The answer depends in large part on
the generation now on our college campuses. I
believe most young people understand the impor-
tance of enviromental protection and what we need
to do to be responsible environmental citizens. The
key question, then, is: Will your generation act on
this knowledge and commitment? If you do, you
will be remembered as the generation that made the
critical difference.
The key challenge for you is to forge and maintaina
sustainable society: one that meets its own needs
without depriving future genreations of the chance to
meet their needs. No country has managed to
achieve that goal. We are all consuming our capital
and counting it on the income side of the ledger.
That is not sustainable. What is our capital? It's our
resource base: air, water, soils, forests, rivers,
oceans, minerals, scenic beauty, and biodiversity.
Take that base away, and all that is left is a waste-
land.
We have only one planet. Nothing could be more
important than making sure it is a livable planet
Through community work, political activity, and
lifestyle decisions, you have the power to save Earth.

UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION
Parking isn't the only unjustice
Dear Students,
Urn, yeah..$100 parking permits.
As if students don't pay more than
enough money to mis institution,
which tends not to treat us with the
respect afforded to the average cus-
tomer at any other place of busi-
ness. The moment we students
enter the university, we (in effect)
give up several of our rights and
privileges.
Men, you now no longer have the
privilege of walking down an all
female floor in the dorms to see
your female friend.. .without an
escort. The same goes for women
on the men's dorm floors. Why?!
Are dorm residents walking naked
down the hall, or perhaps dressing
with their doors open? Folks, when
I first came to this university, my
mother was not allowed to help me
move in unless she was escorted at
all times down the halls of my all-
male dorm... because surely my
fifty-year-old mother was going to
molest some innocent, virginal
male college student (said with a
sarcastic tone of voice.) After all,
men and women are just lustful,
raping, pillaging organisms who are
not to be left unguarded. Aren't we
all socialized enough to know, that
if we commit certain acts, that we
will be punished? The people who
are intent on committing these acts
are NOT going to be stopped by a
Resident Advisor writing them up.
Alcohol... why can't students who
are of legal drinking age have a
place on campus to drink? All that
the current policy of the dry campus
does is ensure that it happens off of
the campus... but it still happens.
People of all ages will find a place
to drink if they really want to. If
nothing else, I believe that our dry
campus law should be changed to
an open container policy. This way,
students of legal age could walk
through our ever expanding campus
on their way home from the state
liquor store, without getting arrest-
ed by our oh-so-usef ul and beloved
Public Safety. Also, why can't I
walk across campus with a sealed
bottle of whiskey, but Moore Hall
(where the university president
used to live) can have a cabinet that
still contains alcohol in it. months
after Dr. Reinhard has moved into a
new house that is off campus?!
And now it's parking. We might
have an $85 dollar increase in our
parking permit fee, which STILL
will not guarantee us a space? The
administration has claimed that this
is (in part) to discourage so many
people from driving or storing cars
on campus...isn't that nice?! This
is an unfair penalty to those who
drive to campus from home (be it
two blocks away, Oil City, or
Youngstown, Ohio)! Has the uni-
versity ever considered the fact that
many of us are barely scraping by
on the high cost of fees the univer-
sity charges us now? If the parking
permit fee goes up to $100, the uni-
versity will have won it's little con-
test with me, at least. I will not pay
the fee, and therefore not drive my
car onto campus and park it... but
neither will I ever donate money to
this university once I have graduat-
ed. Why should we students pay
into a system that treats us like chil-
dren?

Responding to the needs

by Allegheny Region Chapter of the American Red Cross
Red Cross workers are hear-

behind, not
knowing were
you would
wind up. What
would you choose to take with
you? Is food more important
than shoes, are shoes more
important than blankets?
Those are the types of deci-
sions that these refugees are
dealing with.
Providing essential humani-
tarian aid to refugees in the
conflict area are Red Cross
teams at the borders helping
with processing. If the
refugees are cold, Red Cross is
supplying blankets. If they are
hungry, food is given, like bis-
cuits, pasta and crackers. With
many sick or injured medical
assistance is administered.
Acting in coordination with
other relief agencies in the
area, the Red Cross in its
entirety is the only organiza-
tion consistently present
throughout the region. The
Red Cross movement repre-
sents the largest network of
relief and is working with
other humanitarian organiza-
tions.
For Susan Brody watching
this situation unfold on televi-
sion and sitting back and find-
ing comfort in Red Cross inter-
vention on behalf of the
refugees was not enough.
Susan had a need to do some-
thing. She knew these intense
efforts take vast sums of
money, and she called the
Allegheny Region Chapter to
offer help. She asked how to
send a check so that it would
be sent to help these displaced
people. She was given instruc-
:$nSM|tions and a
day later a
||g enerous
check arrived.
Within several
more days yet
another check
was received.
Susan called
once again for
assurance that her second
donation had arrived. In
speaking with her she
expressed great sadness in the
holocaust situation and how
during that tragedy, Americans
knew so little, and did so little
to intervene. In her heart that
Susan, a resident of Pittsburgh,
who frequently visits Clarion
and the surrounding area, has
given so willingly.
Strangely she finds our area
a refuge of sorts from the hus-
tle and bustle of the city. She
leaves her home willingly,
travels at her own will and
returns when she pleases.
Susan spends her time here as
a time of refreshing before her
return home. Unlike the
women, children and elderly
we see day after day on the
news or read about in our local
paper who left home by force,
with no choice, their motive
being self preservation.

making cash donations, send a

CROYLEI Having a mirror image makes life twice as fun, from Page 3.
I have never felt the urge to respond to a letter until I read the one that
was printed from the Panhellenic Council president about the design of
the Greek Week t-shirt. Before a person writes a letter on behalf of an
organization, they should make sure they are voicing that organization's
opinion and not their own, nor that of the advisor. I have spoken with
members of Panhel that have no problem with the t-shirt design at all.
In fact, many of them own and have worn the t-shirt.
The fact that you apologize for a shirt that depicts Greeks as being
stronger than others makes me question vour loyalty to the Greek sys-
tem.
The message the shirt displays shows that when Greeks come togeth-
er, they are a powerful source. I find it pathetic that anyone was offend-
ed by that message. Should I be offended if I see an education major
wearing a shirt that says, "Education majors are the best" just because
my major is communication.
I think you made the Greek system seem weak by submitting your let-
ter and tried to make yourself seem more important because you are the
"Panhel president." So you didn't get the almighty power of approving
the design, suck it up! I think instead of criticizing decisions, the
Panhel/TFC Greek Week chairs should be commended on taking on the
positions and doing an excellent job in them.
When I was Panhel president, I was more concerned with Greek issues
and not Greek t-shirts.

A Symposium on Work and Job Loss in the New

The idea for this symposium has emerged from discussion of

William Julius Wilson of the John F. Kennedy School of
Government, at Harvard University, and by a half-dozen
other authors and thinkers commenting on work loss over the
past several years.
identical or fraternal and also to
determine our cholesterol levels.
The results of he study were sent in
the mail one month later: we are
identical twins!
Besides being identical, Cara and
I are also "mirror-image" twins.
"Mirror-image" twins show a
reversal of characteristics: Our
handedness, eyes, teeth, and ears
are reversed. I am right handed,
while Cara is left handed. We both
wear contacts with very similar
prescriptions except my left eye is
worse, and her right eye is worse.
Before we wore braces for one
year in ninth grade, the left side of
my teeth were a little shifted, while
the right side of Cara's were shift-
ed. "Our ears are the weirdest," is
what we normally tell people. My
right ear has a point at the top, and
her left ear has a point at the top.
In fact, our ears were one of the
ways my dad could tell us apart
when we were babies. Being "mir-
ror-image" is like looking into a
mirror.
Besides shared looks, Cara and I
share basically everything else.
We share clothes, a room, friends,
a major, a job, a car, interests, and
activities. Two things we definite-
ly do not share are our boyfriends;
they each come separately. Cara
and I have shared clothes. We
never dress alike now and rarely
did when we were younger. We
had a couple of the same outfits
(usually gifts), and most of those
were the same but different clors.
My mom never stressed dressing
alike. She used to say, "There are
so many cute girls' clothes. Why
should I but two of each?" Cara
and I have shared a room our entire
lives. It's much easier sharing a
room because of the clothes, toi-
letries, and pictures. I also always
have her to talk to her before I go
to sleep; I never get lonely or
scared. Cara and I share all of the
same friends. Our friends will call
and ask, "Is Amie or Cara there?"
They will never ask for either of us
in particular, unless there is a spe-
cific question to ask one of us.
Our friends like us equally the
same. Cara and I are both senior
Communication majors in all of
the same classes. Before college
we were only in the same class in
kindergarten and first grade. We
separated in second grade and
throughout the rest of school. We
would always take the same sub-
jects, but would usually end up
with different teachers or class
times. Occasionally, Cara and I
were in a couple of die same class-
es. Starting my freshman year of
college, our advisor we had the
same one) suggested we take the
same classes the same time.
He Uiought we could help each
other with homework, and it might
be easier for us to adjust to the col-
lege life together. We took his
advice and have been in the same
classes ever since.
Cara and I have worked at the
same places at the same time since
we started working at age 16. We
have been working at Chi Chi's
Restaurant as food servers for the
past five years. Most people at Chi
Chi's cannot tell us apart. They
call both of us "Twinnie." This
might be due to the fact that we
have to dress alike and wear our
hair the same to work every day.
Cara and I share a job mainly
because we share one car. It's so
much easier to work at the same
place; we ride to and from work
together.
Not surprisingly, we share the
same interests and activities. We
both love dancing, singing, acting,
swimming, reading, and shopping.
Cara and I both are currently on
the Clarion University Dance
Team (and have been for the past
three years). We've both taken
dance since the age of five. Cara
and I have been in choir through-
out school. We've both performed
in 10 musicals and love to see
shows in Pittsburgh.
Being a twin allows me to switch
my identity with Cara's. We've
switched in classes, on die phone,
and on dates. From elementary
school, Cara and I have switched
classes on April Fool's Day. Our
teachers never knew the differ-
ence. Because our voices are so
similar, Cara and I have switched
places on the phone. If I don't feel
like talking, she'll pretend she's
me, and I'll do the same for her.
We've even switched on dates.
Our dates never knew the differ-
ence until we told them the truth.
Feeling each other's physical
pain is a phenomenon shared by
some twins. Cara and I cold be
two of them. A couple of years
ago, Cara came down with a bad
case of food poisoning. She was in
Dubois with her boyfriend and
said she felt the worst around 10
p.m. At the same time, I was in
Jeannette with my boyfriend and
suddenly came down with a severe
upset stomach. Could I have felt
Cara's pain? Since we are twins, it
is definitely a possibility.
Being a twin has provided me
with a built-in lifelong best friend.
At the age of eight, Cara and I
came up with a lifetime plan.
"When we get married, we'll live
together, and our husbands will
live next door."
even at a very early age, we were
aware of the special bond we
shared. The special bond of twins
also runs in our family. My great
grandmother on my mom's side of
die family had a set of boy and girl
twins who both died at the age of
two. Twins skipped my grand-
mother and arrived at my mom.
One of my mom's sisters (my
mom is one of 11 children) who
had wanted twin girls since Cara
and I were born, got her wish six
years ago. We have six-year-old
identical twin cousins named
Stephanie and Stacie. I can only
hope Stephanie and Stacie grow up
sharing the same special bond and
extraordinary closeness Cara and I
share. My mom told me that both
of our first sentences were,
"Which one's which."
We grew up knowing how spe-
cial twins really are to many peo-
ple. I would hat to NOT be a twin;
I would feel like something was
missing from my life. Being a
twin has really made life "double
the fun".

increase student involvement and to unify the faculty and
the students together. The Faculty Senate first began to col-
laborate with students on course proposals and sub-com-
mittees at this time.

STUDENT SENATE
CSA budget vote scheduled for Monday
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
Final recommendations for the
1999-2000 Clarion Students'
Association (CSA) budget were
presented to Student Senate at
their meeting Monday.
Treasurer Leslie Suhr gave
copies of the budget to Senate and
said discussion on the budget will
take place next week. She
encouraged Senate to review the
budget and see any
Appropriations Committee mem-
bers about concerns they might
have.
In other appropriations business,
Senate voted to allocate $6,500
from the large-item capital
account to the University Theatre
for upgrading spotlights, pending
the approval of President
Reinhard.
Suhr told her colleagues that the
original request was for $13,000,
but "we (the Appropriations
Committee) felt that we shouldn't
fund such a large amount," she
said.
"$13,000 shouldn't fall on the
CSA's shoulders," Suhr added.
"$6,500 for upgrades is plenty."
Ed Powers, professor in the
speech communication and the-
atre department, said that new
lighting has not been purchased
since 1969. "This lighting isn't
just for the department, it's for
every performance base on cam-
pus," he said.
Also, $2,620 was allocated from
the supplemental account to the
Black Student Union to fund a
speaker during their Celebration
of the Arts Week, set to begin
April 24. A motion to increase the
motion to $4,500 failed after

New CU class ring hoped to boost sales
by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor
Clarion University will be
unveiling its new class ring to
begin a tradition of high standards
as we prepare to enter the new
millenium.
A committee of alumni, faculty,
administration, and students met
with the Jostens Ring Company to
develop a new "one ring" for the
entire school. Starting next
January, students will not have
any other options of what ring
they want to purchase.
The new "one ring" was
designed to start a tradition at
Clarion. The committee decided
that they didn't want the ring to
become just another jewelry
choice for students. It's purpose is
to tie the ring to the University
and have a lot of meaning associ-
ated with the ring.
Many schools like Duquesne
University in Pittsburgh have
been marketing the "one class
ring" for more than 75 years.
"It's a good thing for Clarion.
From now on, alumni of the
University will be able to recog-
nize one another wherever they
are and identify with the ring,"
said Linda Campbell, Assistant to
the President.
The committee worked on the
proposal for over a year. They
brainstormed for ideas and the
final design was implemented by
the committee.
The ring will have a glad face
with a blue enameling for the
Clarion "C" with an eagle face.
On one side will be the student's
graduation date and degree, and
Ring design
www.clarion.edu/thecall •
on the other side will be the
founding date and design. The
dates are engraved. The founding
date of 1867 celebrates the
University's history. The rings
will be available in 10, 14, or 20
karat gold.
"The gold will enhance the
effect of the ring," said Rob
Savola, marketing specialist for
Jostens.
The tradition that is hoped to
will also be set is that the ring can
only be purchased by upperclass-
men. It would serve as an oppor-
tunity for students to gain a recog-
nition by their peers.
"It is hoped that the new ring
will encourage students to pur-
chase the rings. Currently, only
about 12 percent of students buy

Faculty Senate approved a
motion for die General Education
committee to look over five sug-
gested changes for General
Education at their meeting April
19.
Academic Standards Committee
chair Dr. Ralph Leary proposed
(1) the removal of the link flag,
(2) the removal of the applications
flag, (3) making the writing-inten-
sive flag more flexible, (4) re-
evaluating the first year value flag
for flexibility of seats and (5)
placing 100 and 200 level Arts
and Sciences courses as general
education courses unless specifi-
cally suggested otherwise.
President Reinhard spoke about
the faculty involvement in sug-
gesting changes or improvements
to the current General Education
requirements. She also gave
information about a recent round-
table that took place on April 12,
which focused on issues such as
scheduling and General
Education. Reinhard said some
students discussed difficulties in
getting basic level courses while
other students said they wanted
greater flexibility in selecting
courses to meet General
Education requirements.
Provost/Vice President of
Academic Affairs Dr. John Kuhn
indicated some interest in reduc-
ing the number of credits needed
to graduate to 120. The reduction,
Kuhn said, would help students
complete their degrees in four
years. Currently, between 24 and
25 percent of CU students com-
plete their degrees in four years.
Kuhn said that students also
want to increase the hours in
Carlson Library and computer
labs, particularly on weekends.
Students also expressed frustra-
tion with the current E-mail sys-
tem. Kuhn said students would
like to see the VAX or PINE sys-
tem replaced with programs such
as Eudora Light or World Wide
Web-based E-mail.
Dr. Reinhard will be making her
final decision soon about the pro-
posed plan to limit the number of
withdrawals from classes to 5 per
student. Leary reported a mis-

reading of data on information
concerning the withdrawal policy.
The number of students in good
academic standing who have used
six or more withdrawals is 1.1
percent, not 11 percent as previ-
ously reported.
"Withdrawals do not seem to be,
as I reported, a strategy for suc-
cess, except perhaps for those
who are continued on probation
(9.5 percent)," Leary said. He
added that Academic Standards
will no longer raise concerns
about the withdrawal policy.
Faculty Senate elections were
held on April 20 at the Carlson
Library. According to Dr. Fred
Keen, chair of the Committee on
Committee on Rules (CCR), the
Association of Pennsylvania State
College and University Faculties
(APSCUF) were also holding
contractual committee elections.
Student Affairs Committee chair
Dr. Doug Smith announced that
the Academic Convocation will
be held Sat., May 1 at 1:30 p.m. in
Hart Chapel with a reception to
follow in Founders Hall. The cer-
emony will be a brief showcase of
student research of the different
colleges and individual students
in those colleges.
Anita Hall, chair of a committee
about Venango Campus, reported
on a survey from Career Services
that stated 100 percent of students
nursing and rehabilitation ser-
vices, 92 percent of occupational
therapy students, 80 percent of
paralegal students, and 75 percent
of business administration stu-
dents are finding placement upon
completion of their programs.
She said that some at Venango
Campus are concerned about a
loss of full-time positions, after a
recent reduction in full-time staff.
"The administration has been
stretched very thin," Hall said.
"Dean (Arthur) Acton has been
meeting at the Clarion campus,
the Pittsburgh site and is also in
charge of distance education."
Hall said that assistant dean Ron
Schlect will be retiring.
A policy meeting will be held in
B-8 Hart Chapel on Monday,
April 26 at 3:30 p.m. The next
regular meeting of Faculty Senate
will be Monday, May 3 at 3:30
p.m. in B-8 Hart Chapel.

Short Term Strategy
^Assume same number of spaces available in Pall 1999 as in Spring 1999 (1614).
Students: Create separate on*carapu$ and commuter student lots. Designate by student level and residence
hall in which lots on-campus students can park. Upperclassmen would park closer to their residence halls than
tre$hraen»s0phomojies and as lots fill up, the last people submitting requests would be the first ones moved to
another lot, following the LIFO concept. Their permit would be valid in one lot only. Commuting students
would be permitted to park ui any commuter student lot.
*In developing lot designations by student type, the following recommendations are offered: Lots W and D
should be on-campus student lots due to Lot W being remote (like storage parking) and wanting to minimize
the amount of traffic around Lot D. Lots B and N should be commuter student lots since they can also be used
as event lots in the evening. In addition, consideration should be given to making Lot Jf a commuter lot to help
reinforce the concept -that we are moving in the direction of remote storage parking for on-campus students.
♦Increase the radius of ineligibility for commuter students to Fourth Avenue which would v based on current
ypr numbers, result in 216 fewer students parking on-campus.
♦Sell only a designated number of on-campus and commuter student permits. Advertise mat permits will be
sold on a first come, first served basis. Based on the projected increase in the number of permits for Fall 1999,
there may or may not be enough student spaces on-campus to accommodate alt requests* We reserve the right
to have some freshmen park at the stadium as necessary to accommodate demand and will place students there
based on order of request for parking permits {last in, first to stadium), If demand exceeds expectations and
the stadium lot tecomes full* stop selling permits.
Faculty and Staff ; Based on the five zones created in the master plan, designate specific lots by zone in which
faculty and staff would be permitted to park. Faculty and staff would need to park in metered spaces if they
wish to park outside of their designated zone. NOTE: Ee^iinmi^ticft onry todudes four proposed zones,
tt&^rfflguifcgy
|£ii£Q& : Continue the separate pn*campus Me As the proportion of off-cam--
pus and commuting students tdnging cars to campus increases, redesignate on-campus lots to commuting stu-
dent lots as necessary and begin moving the lower class level students to a large remote storage parking lot
which can be accessed by the new transportation system temg<jMeJfiped. The large remote storage parking
lot should be developed outside of me borough in order to minimize the cost of consttuction. it could be a
fenced*!**, gravel lot with excellent lighting. Develop at least one proximate off-campus storage lot for stu-
deW teachers and other students with work commitments which require hours other than those covered by the
transportation system. Initially the r#oiimate storage lot(s) could be used as a carrot for upper division stu-
dents.
Short Term Strateg y: Designate Lot N, the Greenville Lot, as a student lot only (currently a mixed use lot).
Designate^ Lot Rtjehind Receiving, for parking by Cnartwell employees only who work in the dining halL
Require PIBH employees to park in lower Lot E Require Cnartwell employees working in Gemmell and CSA
employees to park in Lots R and U only.

Short Term S t ra tegy
*Four Week per Semester Student Permits: For those students who bring cars to campus at me beginning and
end of each semester to bring and take home their belongings, charge a $15 per year fee and require tbem to
park at the stadium.
♦Regular On-Carapus and Commuter Student Permits: Charge $100 per academic year to Freshmen and
Sophomores and $50 to junior and seniors to help defray the cost of property acquisition and parking lot con-
struction costs.
Long Tefln Strategy:
Once the storage lots are created, charge a much lower fee for this type of lot. Continue to increase the price
of the regular on-campus and commuter student permit at the same rate as inflation to keep up with increases
in cost v

i.Sttategies,:

designated fags Will be allowed to park in these lots. All other tots will be Cinderella lots with no enforcement
from 4:30 p.m.»2 am, except for bandicar^d spaces v^ich are enforced 24 hours per day.
♦After iij&itM the fifth paid ticket in an academic year, the vehicle would be booted at a cost
of $50 to remove. Tbis rule would apply equally to students, faculty and staff,
♦After the fifth valid parking ticket in an academic year, the parking privileges of the individual receiving the
tickets shall be restricted to the stadium, m the event of any additional tickets m a campos>based lot, the park*

Fulbrights awa
• McGreevy becomes
the sixth CU professor to
receive this prestigious
scholarship.
by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Two Clarion University faculty members
have recently been awarded Fulbright
Scholarships.
A full year J. William Fulbright Foreign
Award has been given to Clarion University
geography professor Dr. Patrick McGreevy.
Dr. Sylvia Stalker of the education department
will spend six weeks traveling through Peru
and Ecuador this summer as part of a
Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad program.
McGreevy, a geography professor from the
anthropology/geography/earth science depart-
ment, is slated to teach in Hungary during the
1999-2000 school year.
McGreevy will sit as the Laszlo Orszagh
Distinguished Chair in American Studies at
Kossuth Lajos University in Debrecen.
To receive the Fulbright Scholarship,
McGreevy had to first execute an application
process which took about a month. Then, he
had to submit a proposal and obtain letters of
support from people outside of the university.
The scholarship board then looked at those
who applied on each side of the Atlantic, and

received a Fulbright Foreign Award.
they determined who received appointments in
foreign countries In February, McGreevy was
notified that he would be performing as a
Distinguished Chair in Hungary.
The Fulbright Senior Scholar Program calls
three Distinguished Chair positions "the most
prestigious appointments of the Fulbright
Scholars Program."
As Distinguished Chair, McGreevy will not
only be expected to teach courses in American
Studies, but also be a consultant, help Kossuth
Lajos University develop a curriculum in
American Studies, and give talks at other uni-
versities around Hungary. McGreevy will play
an important role in an ongoing interdiscipli-
nary program.
He will teach seminars for Ph.D. students
and advanced undergraduate students where
the students will be asked to read American lit-
erature and study American history. Some of
the seminars he will teach are "Freedom,
Progress, and Landscape in American
Culture," which involves U.S. political and
cultural ideas of freedom, and "The 1960's:
America's last reading and writing culture,"
which studies pop culture and literature in rela-
tion to political issues of the time.
McGreevy feels his experiences in Hungary
will help his teaching here in Clarion. "Since
I teach geography, my experiences overseas
are directly related," he said. He hopes to use
such information as Hungary's growing pros-
perity and efforts to join the European Union
to further instruct Clarion students about the
world.
McGreevy also thinks his experience with
the interdisciplinary program will help with
Clarion's "Making Connections" program.
Accompanying McGreevy to Hungary will
be his wife, Betty, and his 15 year-old son,
Jonah. McGreevy says his family is extreme-
ly excited at the prospect of spending a year in
Europe. Jonah will attend school in Hungary
where he will study the Hungarian language
among other courses. He will not be expected
to speak Hungarian, however, because most
Hungarian schools have taught in English
since 1990.
McGreevy acquired his BA from the
University of Notre Dame, his MA from
SUNY Buffalo, and his Ph.D. from Minnesota
University. He has been a member of the
Clarion University faculty since 1991.
The 50-year-old Fulbright exchange program
incorporates 140 countries and 4,400 grantees
fromt he U.S. in the program to study, teach,
and conduct research. People are chosen to
participate in the program on the basis of their
academic and professional qualifications and
ability and willingness to share ideas with peo-
ple from different cultures.
McGreevy in the sixth professor from
Clarion to receive a Fulbright since 1981 along
with two groups from Clarion who received
Fulbrights. Among past recipients are market-
ing professor Dr. Timothy Wilson who
received a Fulbright to go to Romania in 1999.
Stalker went to India
in 1992 as part of a
Fulbright-Hays pro-
gram and returned
there in 1994 as a
Fulbright lecturer.
As part of the
Fulbright-Hays pro-
gram, Stalker will trav-
el with 16 people
throughout Peru and

helps her understand the conditions and con-
cerns of people of other countries.
Stalker thinks this program will help her
teaching in Clarion because it will give her
new information and insights on the cultures of
Peru and Ecuador, which she will be able to
use in classes such as Introduction to
Education and Curriculum. "It will give me a
basis for comparing our systems of developing
curriculum and teaching which deepens our
understanding of what we're doing." she said.
Stalker says she will spend her time in South
America trying to see the experiences through
the eyes of a Clarion University student
because she feels that Clarion students are
open-minded and genuinely interested in the
rest of the world.
"The students are very curious and want to
know how people think about issues of the rest
of the world," she said. "How people solve
day to day problems. How communities solve
environmental problems. Therefore, I will
take with me a part of Clarion interest into the
unknown."
Stalker's Fulbright-Hays trips to India and to
Peru and Ecuador are different than her
Fulbright lecturer position. Instead of teaching
at one school like a Fulbright lecturer, she trav-
els around the countries listening to lectures.
In 1994, she decided she wanted to go back
to India for an extended period of time. In the
seven months she was there, she feels she
developed an appreciation for the diversity in
the country which is not always recognized by.
people who haven't been there.
"I think people will realize diversity in India
when they see it," she said.
Stalker received her BA from Keuka College,
her M.Ed, from Stephen F. Austin State
University, and her Ph.D. from Indiana
University. She has been a member of the
Clarion University faculty since 1985 and is
now the chair of the department of education.
for this Fulbright-Hays program is "Peru and
Ecuador: Environmental Literacy and
Sustainable Development in Peru and
Ecuador: Education Challenges for the Next
Millennium."
Stalker will spend her time studying envi-
ronmental problems and solutions in the two
countries and figuring out how students in the
schools are taught to address those environ-
mental problems. Stalker feels this experience
will help her be a better teacher because it

ID concerns at
Elizabethtown
There are occasional inquiries
among Elizabethtown college
students as to why social securi-
ty numbers, used as student
identification numbers, are so
publicly displayed in areas such
as the photo side of student ID
cards.
The idea of reducing public
visibility of that number or the
implementation of a new system
that uses random identifying
numbers was posed to Student
Senate by senior representative
Matthew Winkler.
"There's no need for it (ID
number) to be our social securi-
ty number," Carney said. "The
one thing you're supposed to
protect most is your ID num-
ber."

Lock Haven prof helps
with Pride Week
Dr. Mark Cloud, professor of psy-
chology at Lock Haven University,
aimed to help educate students on
the biological features of sexual ori-
entation during his speech,
"Psychology of Homosexuality"
recently. The speech was done to
coincide with Pride Week.
Cloud suggested that "our gut feel-
ings are often wrong" in relation to
assumptions on how sexual orienta-
tion occurs. He feels that systemat-
ic empiricism is the best bet for
understanding the world.

Bij hair, tight clothes,
Madonna and Boy George.
These four aspects made the
80's what they were, especial-
ly the music industry.
Barry Drake, "one of rock
music's foremost historians,"
visited Gemmell to present an
evening of 80's music. The
multimedia trip through this
decade started with a mixture
of 80's rock to entertain the
incoming crowd. Since most
everyone in the room was a
child of the 80's, and aura of
reminiscence filled the air.
The 80's helped to form
ideas of what rock and roll
would become and the entire
rock audience united. CDs
were made which boosted the
music economy and then it
happened... MTV. On August
1, 1981, the music video
'Video Killed The Radio Star',
by the Buggies helped to
shape rock and roll during the
MTV music age.
The first type of rock to hit
the 80's scene was known as
New Wave Music. American
groups such as Blondie and
the Talking Heads made a
bang when they hit the indus-
try but it wasn't until 1984
when The Cars had their hit
'You Might Think' that New
Wave Music became cutting
edge.
After that other American
groups followed such as Devo
with their surprisingly low
tech videos like 'Whip It' and
the B 52's with their mega hit
'Love Shack' in 1989.
But American bands weren't
the only ones to make a splash
during this time. British
bands such as Duran Duran,
Tears for Fears and The Cure
became very popular. There
were three British bands that
really took charge of rock and
roll. The Police, with their
reggae influence, topped the
charts with their hit "Every
Breath You Take" and Dire
Straights had their number one
song Money for Nothing' in
1985. But in 1984, Boy
George hit the scene as the

Video Age. "
lead singer of The Culture
Club with the hit song 'Karma
Chameleon'.
The next big type of 80's
rock and roll was known as
heartland American Rock. In
the NorthEast, Bruce
Springstein came out with
albums such as 'Nebraska' and
'Born in the USA' form the
Midwest, John Cougar
Melencamp had his hit 'Jack
and Diane' in 1982, and in
Florida Tom Petty and the
Heartbreakers made their
debut in rock.
Women performers were also
a huge part of 80's rock.
Groups like The GoGo's went
gold with their hit 'We Got the
Beat' in 1982 and became the
first female group to have a
number one song. Soloists
such as Cyndi Lauper with her
hit 'Girls Just Want to Have
Fun' in '84 and Madonna with
'Like a Virgin' in the same
year, really made an impact on
rock and roll.
Then came other styles of
music like Rap and Hip Hop
with groups such as Run DMC
and the Beastie Boys.
Gangster Rap was soon to
follow when N.W.A came out
with their song 'Straight Outta
Compton.'
Hard Rock was next with
such groups as Aerosmith and
their hit 'Dude looks Like A
Lady'. Van Halen had the hit
song Jump' in 1984 and in
'88 Guns and Roses rocked
audiences with the chart top-
per 'Sweet Child O'Mine'.
Pop music was a major part
of 80's rock. This style of
music was divided into two
types. Black and white.
Black pop consisted of artists
like Lionel Richie when his hit
'All Night Long' toped charts
www.clarion.edu/thecall >
in '83, and Whitney Houston
had her number one with 'How
Will I Know' in 1986. But
perhaps the most know black
pop artist was Michael
Jackson. The self-proclaimed
King of Pop's album 'Thriller'
mesmerized audiences every-
where in '83. White pop was
made up of mostly
singer/songwriters. America
had artists like Billy Joel and
his hit 'Uptown Girl' in '83,
and also Don Henley with the
song 'Boys of Summer'.

April 22, 1999
by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist
(CPX)-I'll tell you when I
start to worry. I start to worry
when "officials" tell me not to
worry. This is why I am very
concerned about the following
Associated Press report, which
was sent to me by a number of
alert readers:
"RICHLAND, WASH. -
Radioactive ants, flies and
gnats have been found at the
Hanford nuclear complex,
bringing to mind those Cold-
War-era 'B' horror movies in
which giant mutant insects are
the awful price paid for
Mankind's entry into the
Atomic Age.
"Officials at the nation's
most contaminated nuclear site
insist there is no danger of
Hanford becoming the setting
for a '90s version of "Them!",
the 1954 movie starring James
Arness and James Whitmore in
which huge, marauding ants
are spawned by nuclear experi-
ments in the desert."
Should we trust these "offi-
cials"? I'll let you decide for
yourself what the answer is
(NO). But consider:
- For years, "officials" insist-
ed that our cars needed air bags
for safety; then, when we GOT
Concert Review
air bags, "officials" started
warning us how dangerous they
are, the result being that many
concerned parents now strap
their children to the car roof.
- For years, "officials" told us
(hat marijuana was an evil,
criminal drug. Now they tell us
that it has quote, "important
medical benefits warranting
further investigation, but first
let's order a pizza."
- Every year, "officials" tell
us to turn all our clocks ahead
one hour, only to turn around a
few months later and tell us to
turn them BACK. Make up
your minds, "officials"!
My point is that we cannot
trust "officials" any farther
than we can throw them by the
leg. This is especially true
when it comes to the Hanford
nuclear complex. When this
complex was built, "officials"
said it was safe; now the whole
area glows like a Budweiser
sign. So when "officials" tell
us that the radioactive Hanford
insects are NOT going to
mutate into giant monsters like
the ants depicted in the 1954
movie "Them!", it clearly is
time to study this movie and
see what happened, because it
is about to happen again.
I did not see "Them!", but I
do have a plot summary from a
book called "Guide for the
Film Fanatic." It states that
after James Whitmore and
James Arness discover the
giant mutant ants marauding
around the New Mexico desert,
they kill most of them by burn-
ing their nest; however, some
ants escape, and the heroes
"trace them to Los Angeles."
The book doesn't say why the
heroes would have to "trace"
the ants; you'd think that if
marauding insects the size of
houses showed up in a heavily
populated area, it would be
mentioned prominently in the
news media, but "Guide for the
Film Fanatic" makes it sound
as though Arness and
Whitmore had to track the ants
down via detective techniques:
JAMES ARNESS (showing a
photograph to a storekeeper):
Have you seen this ant? It's 23
feet tall.
STOREKEEPER (frowning at
the photograph): .... We did
have a 40-foot praying mantis
in here last week, but I don't
recall any ... Wait a minute!
Aren't you Marshal Dillon
from "Gunsmoke"?
JAMES ARNESS: Not until
1955.
Anyway, the heroes finally
locate the giant ants in the Los
Angeles sewer system, where,
according to "Guide for the
Film Fanatic," there is "a
thrilling finale." The Guide
gives no details on this finale,
so we don't know whether the
ants are killed, or mutate again
and become agents, or what.
But the point is this: If, as now
seems likely, the radioactive
insects at the Hanford complex
mutate and start marauding,
they will almost certainly head
for Los Angeles. This is a terri-
fying prospect. Imagine how
you would feel if you tuned in
to the evening news and
learned that, for example, Fran
Dresner had been sucked dry
by a gnat the size of a water
buffalo. You'd feel pretty
excited. You'd hope there was
video.
But innocent people could
also be hurt, and that is why we
need to do take action NOW.
Instead of frittering away bil-
lions on this "Star Wars" mis-
sile-defense system, we need to
use that money to construct, in
the desert outside of Los
Angeles, a 100-foot-high, 500-
foot-long, fully functional
Hostess Twinkie. The giant
insects would be attracted to
the Twinkie, and while they
were munching on it, an earth-
orbiting manned space station
would launch a rocket- pro-
pelled, laser-guided, nine-
story-high, 18,000-pound
man's shoe, which would, by
the time it reached the Twinkie,
be traveling at over 6,000 miles
per hour, resulting in a Stomp
of Doom that would hurl globs
of cream filling as far as St.
Louis.
Of course, building a
weapons system this size
would not be easy. There would
be political considerations:
Powerful members of Congress
would insist on having giant
Twinkies built in their states,
too. But that is a small price to
pay for national security. We
must proceed with this! We
already have the technology!
Which means, of course, that
so does China.
The 'Piano Man,' Billy Joel, rocks Pittsburgh
by Danielle Hock

As the lights dimmed and the
beats of the first song began, it
was hard to believe that this
would be the last time Billy
Joel sang in Pittsburgh.
According to his publicists, the
'Piano Man' is becoming just
that. He has decided to com-
pose classical music and place
his pop music on the back burn-
er. Although many of his fans
are disappointed, the 'Piano
Man' can still pack in a crowd.
The concert was originally
scheduled for September 14,
1998. Joel unfortunately
caught a bug and lost his voice,
therefore he was unable to per-

form. It was rescheduled for
November but he once again
had to cancel. Yet another date
was set for March 4, 1999.
Many people claimed if he can-
celed this time, their tickets
would be sent back.
Thankfully the 'Piano Man'
kept his promise and put on an
awesome last performance for
the Steel City.
He performed at the Civic
Arena for approximately two
hours. Although Joel is getting
older his performances are get-
ting better. He played his old
songs, his newer songs, and a
few of the songs he said that
inspired him. He kept the
crowd laughing with his jokes
and jamming with his tunes.
He danced, played his infamous
piano and even twirled his
microphone stand. One of the
highlights of the show was
when the 'Piano Man' came
from behind the piano, suited
himself up in an electric guitar
and played the Beatles. The
crowd went nuts! Billy was
very personable and open with
the reasons he wrote some of
his songs. Two of which were
written for his ex wives.
The lighting was perfect, the
sound was awesome, and the
over all show was spectacular!
He sang such songs as 'I go to
Extremes, "Goodnight Saigon',
'This is the time,' 'Scenes from
an Italian Restaurant,'
'Pressure,' 'Allentown,' 'Big
Shot,' 'River of Dreams,' plus
many more!
Well after a huge encore
brought on by the crowd Billy
Joel finished with the source of
his nickname, 'Piano Man.'
The audience was so into
singing it that he actually
stopped singing and let them
croon out the notes. One could
tell he was mighty impressed
with the impact the song had on
his fans.
As the lights came on and
everyone hurdled out of the
arena, one could see the many
different ages and types of peo-
ple who came from every where
to see this incredible performer.
It was a sad day realizing that
Billy Joel would no longer
grace us with his powerful
voice but also a happy day
when one realizes that he/she
was able to see the last live per-
formance of 'The Piano Man.'

Music Review
Blur's fourth album a masterpiece
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Assistant
Lifestyles Editor
DISCLAIMER: Before you
read this review, please take
note that I am extremely biased
towards all British rock, espe-
cially the kind put out by a cer-
tain band known as Blur.
Okay, now that that's out of
the way, there's only one way I
can truly describe '13,' Blur's
sixth album: Whoo Hoo!!!
(which of course, was the ral-
lying cry behind their much too
late American breakthrough,
'Song 2'). But where Blur's
last album explored primal gui-
tar riffs and American indie
rock (better than most U.S.
indies), '13' marks yet another
makeover for the band, and an
even farther cry from their
once trademark Kinks guitar
sound; as they explore space
rock and post-punk to the
fullest.
Probably the only downside
of the album is that it climaxes
way too early, starting out with
the heart-wrenching 7 minute
ballad, 'Tender.' Starting out
with what sounds like a gui-
tar's answer to a toy piano, the
song slowly builds into a wall
of gospel singers and frontman
Damon Albarn's hurt and
pleading voice, as he chants
"Tender is the touch of some-
one that you love too much." It
reaches 'Hey Jude'-esque
heights, which is no small
accomplishment.
Lyrically, the album is all
downhill from there, at least as
emotions are concerned. Many
songs reflect Albarn's recent
split with Elastica's Justine
Frischman, such as '1992,' in
which he sings "You'd love my
bed; you took the other
instead," or the sparse and
dejected 'No Distance Left To
Run' ("It's over, you don't
need to tell me; I hope you're
with someone who makes you
feel safe when you're sleep-
ing.")
'13' is also very ignorant of
radio-ready tunes, which is a
welcome departure from previ-
ous efforts (remember the
goofy neo-disco of 'Girls And
Boys'?). Aside from 'Tender,'
the only other instantly infec-
tious tune is the jangly 'Coffee
& TV in which guitarist
Graham Coxon asks "Take me
away from this big bad world
and agree to marry me."
The rest of the record con-
sists of cuts that at sometimes
seem like pure noise, or all-out
sonic attacks. Coxon literally
pounds at his squealing guitar
on tracks like 'Bugman' and
'B.L.U.R.E.M.I.' (a dig at their
parent record label), which are
loud and grating, yet spongier
than a Koosh ball.
The remainder of the album
is absolutely trance-inducing,
with lulling synth beds for the
band's mellow, weary songs.
'Battle' and 'Optigan 1' are
shimmering shoegazing mas-
terpieces for the electronic 90s,
with ethereal vocals and other-
worldly production.
'Trailerpark' is a horror movie
soundtrack meets R &B, with
haunting organ riffs that will
chill you. 'Caramel' sounds
just like what the confection
itself would, as all the elements
melt together to form quite a
sultry and sulking background.
On the whole, Blur has real-
ly just blended their old sound
with the production techniques
adopted by the likes of
Radiohead, emulating groups
like the Kinks, David Bowie,
and Pink Floyd in equal doses.
In the end, '13' is more tran-
quilizing than codeine, and
more invigorating than a caf-
feine IV. On my five star rat-
ing system, Blur has earned a 4
and 1/2, and shown that 13 cer-
tainly isn't their unlucky
number.

cliches and effects.
The plot can be summed up
as lame and pretty much non-
existent. Ben (Ben Affleck -
that's right his name is the
same in the movie) has three
days to get from New York to
Savannah to his wedding. It
seems that Ben is somehow
afflicted with Murphy's Law
at every stupid plot twist
throughout the movie.
Murphy's Law states that any-
thing that can go wrong-will.
Sarah (Sandra Bullock) and
Ben end up as traveling part-
ners who take the wrong
train, get involved with the
wrong people, and in every
scene seem to be in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
The only continuously good
aspect of this film, was the
music. From the opening
credits with the
Propellerheads, the music was
in a picture today. If only Cox can be remembered from
they could have saved this the movie 'Murder At 1600'

Guy Davis, "The Bluesman"
will be singing in concert
Thursday, April 29, at 8 p.m., in
Hart Chapel at Clarion
University of Pennsylvania.
The concert is free and open to
the public.
Davis is a musician, composer,
actor, director, and writer, but
blues music plays a part in every
aspect of his work. He has ded-
icated himself to reviving~tradr-
tions of acoustic blues and
bringing them people through
the material of the great blues
masters, African-American sto-
ries, and original songs, stories,
and performance pieces.
Raised in New York, Davis
grew up hearing accounts of life
in the rural south from his par-
ents and especially his grandpar-
ents. These stories make their
way into his own stories and
songs. He is self taught on the
guitar and learned by listening
to and watching other musi-
cians.
Davis overlaps his interests
in music and acting. His early
acting roles include a part in the
film 'Beat Street' an don televi-
sion in 'One Life To Live.' He
made his Broadway debut in
1991 in the Zora Neale
Hurston/Langston Hughes col-
laboration 'Mulebone,' which
featured the music of Taj Mahal.
In 1993, he acted off-Broadway
as the blues player Robert
Johnson in 'Robert Johnson:
Trick the Devil.'

in the summer of 1985. This
charity event left tears in the
eyes of many Americans and
proved to be a major part of
80's music.
The next major wave of
music in the 80's came when
Heavy Metal and Hair Bands
hit the scene. Def Leopard
had their number one in 1988
when 'Pour Some Sugar on
Me' became a hit. Other
bands consisted of Metallica,
White Snake, Poison and Bon
Jovi with their hit 'Livin on a
Prayer' in 1987.
Punk and Hard Core was
next to come into play with
bands such as Sonic Youth,
The Replacements, and The
Dead Kennedy's.
College Radio and
Alternative music also played
a major role for this decade.
R.E.M. came out of the
University of Georgia and
surprised people with the hit
song 'The One I Love.'
10,000 Maniacs also made a
splash when they came out
with 'Trouble Me.'
The nights program por-
trayed the late 80's music to
be pathetic. Artists such as
MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice,
New Kids On The Block and
Paula Abdul helped the
decline of 80's music. But
when Milli Vanilli were
caught lip sinking it made a
mockery of the industry.
80's music had variety,
spunk and soul. It formed
our ideas about rock and roll
and helped us to grow as a
whole. Late 80's bands like
Nirvana and Pearl Jam
flowed into the 90's to start
the next wave of decade
music.

BLUR) Music Review feautring Blur and Olivia Tremor
Control, from Page 13.
How do you cook up a perfect pop-psycedelia album? Take a healthy
dollop of the Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds,' stir in a cup or two of the
Beatles' 4 Sgt. Pepper,' cook over an open mixing board while the Byrds
play in the background, and serve chilled with a garnish of early Pink
Floyd. It's a dish that the Olivia Tremor Control mastered better than
the Frugal Gourmet on their debut, 'Dusk At Cubist Castle.'
Unfortunately, for their new disk, 'Black Foliage: Animation Music
Vol.1,' it seems as if an escaped mental patient somehow stumbled into
the pot.
'Black Foliage' is not a bad record, it just bites off more than it can
chew (not my last food reference), and stumbles short. Consisting of 27
tracks, most of them only a few seconds to a half-minute long, 'Black
Foliage' tries to interpolate, intertwine, and interpret the 12 or 13 actual
songs that are on the disc. Most of the tracks are what the Tremor
Control likes to call "combinations," where a riff or small horn section
from a song may be repeated by itself, or mixed in with another song.
This creates several themes that are recurring throughout the album. For
instance, sections of the title track appears in three different variations
before the actual song is heard halfway through the album, followed by
two more "animations" before the album's close.
The problem is that Olivia Tremor Control tries to get a little bit too
intricate and complex, as there is a sample from another song within
almost every other one. I know it doesn't make much sense in writing,
so think of it as a Surrealist painting come to life. But when OTC isn't
making overly pretentious "sound sculptures" from tapes sent in to them
describing listeners' dreams, they create the best pop pastiche you'll
ever hear.
Swirling psycedelia, glorious harmonies, and instantly memorable
melodies are evident in every single 'real' song on the album. Songs
like 'Sleepy Company,' 'A New Day,' and 'I Have Been Floated' can
take you to another place, they are so transcending of time and musical
boundaries. If you didn't know any better, you'd think it was recorded
in the sixties, the lost singles of Strawberry Alarm Clock, if you will.
Despite the shortcomings of the "animation pieces," the majority of
the album flows quite nicely, and is very involving. The absolute low
point of the album is the 13 minute 'The Bark And Below It,' where
motifs from ALL of the songs are presented, but ends up sounding like
your refrigerator is on the fritz. Fortunately, the absolutely perfect song-
writing can outshine the experimental dips, and swerves the album away
from sounding overdone (NOW I'm done with the cooking puns). On
my five-star rating system, Olivia Tremor Control's refreshing and lush
'Black Foliage' has earned a 3 and 1/2 out of five.
PHANTOM! Phantom of the Opera" recieves rave reviews
from Page 1.
He has a disfigurement on his face and
wears a mask to cover it up. And she
gives him the attention of understanding
that he mistakes as love. But, Christine
is really in love with Raoul, whom she
has known since they were young.
The opening scene takes place in a
Paris Opera House in 1891. All of the
mysteriousness that takes place in the
Opera House is caused by the Phantom
The Phantom thinks that he is in total
control of the Opera House, including
casting Christine as the lead role in the
performances. He believes mat he
should receive a cut of the profits from
the operas. He also reserves a special
seat for himself at the performances.
But, when the guidelines that he sets
aren't followed, the Phantom makes
"things" happea The chandelier comes
dashing down on the stage, a stagehand
was hung in the gallows, and he caused
an actress to sing badly, all because
Christine wasn't cast as the lead role
like he demanded.
The Phantom lives underneath the the-
ater, near a lake. When he comes to
Christine in the night, she goes with
him He lives here because he believes
that noonewill accept him as he is. He
loves to hear her sing and has fallen in
love with her.
(luistine refers to the Phantom as the
Angel of Music because her father had
told her when she was younger that she
would be visited by him. He teachers
her how to sing and lets her use the
songs he writes. But, in turn, he trunks
that she has fallen in love with him.
It is hard for the Phantom to under-
stand how she can deny and betray him
after the relationship that they have for
each other.
As the story unfolds, it is one of a
tragedy that lias started on the side of the
Phantom. Because the Phantom knows
that Christine is in love with Raoul, he
does many things in the theater that
makes the audience start to hate him
But, he believes that he will win the
heart of Christine by doing such things.
By the end of the musical, Christine
makes her choice. Raoul is the man that
she has chosen to be with However, in
many ways the audience has a sympa-
thetic fcding for the Phantom. As you
watch the pain that he has as he loses the
only love that he ever has had, you learn
that the Phantom only did these to keep
his ties to her.
The "Phantom of the Opera" win con-
tinue through the end of September in
Toronto before retiring its ten years of
excellent {xrformances. Don't let the
opportunity to see such an excellent per-
formance pass you by, to see the Tony
award winning performance with an
amazing cast

This week
Do you think the Steelers draft will help them get back to the playoffs?
Jason Dambach--No. Getting Edwards, Zereone, and Farris gave the
Steelers three future stars, but Jacksonville, Baltimore, and Tennessee are the
class of the AFC Central.
Tim Puhala--No. Edwards is too small, Zereone's a Bam, and Cowher needs
to be replaced if the Steelers want to get to the Super Bowl.
Wayne Alling--No, because Kordell is too young to lead them to the promise
land.
Tim Bowerman--No, because Kordell is not a NFL quarterback.
Jud Steiner--No matter how many people they back up during the off season
they always lose key players.

Clarion Call Staff Writer
Clarion's Golf team had an
impressive fourth place finish at

Herman said.
Right now Clarion's bat-
ting average is .236. Due to
the NCAA rule of using
wooden bats in Conference
games and aluminum bats in
Non-Conference games,
Clarion has been unable to
play their Non-Conference
games due to Clarion being
rained out. With Clarion
not being able to play their
Non-Conference games,
other schools batting aver-
ages are boosting. The rule
made by the NCAA has also
been problematic for other
schools, also.
"Our goal is to try to win

hard and as long as they
keep working and keep a

Senate approves $950,000 budget
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
Clarion University Student Senate voted
to approve the 1999-2000 Clarion Students'
Association (CSA) budget at their meeting
Monday, pending the approval of President
Reinhard.
In total, $950,650 was allocated to 80 rec-
ognized organizations as well as the opera-
tion of the Gemmell game room and the
Senate supplemental reserve account and
large-item capital account.
Money for the budget comes from the
$100 student activity fee, which is collected
every semester.
One of the first changes to this year's bud-
get was the abolition of the contract system,
which provided predetermined allocation
increases every year to three CSA organiza-
tions (Sequelle, Tide Clarion Call, and
CU Athletics).
"We looked at the contract system as a
whole and saw that these organizations
were locked into percentages and didn't
benefit from the increase in the student
activity fee two years ago," said Leslie
Suhr, Senate appropriations chair.
The Sequelle allocation was rigorously
reviewed. "Since we backfund the book
(the 1998-1999 allocation pays for the
1997-1998 book), we decided to provide
funding for the 1998-1999 book and pro-
vided only operating expenses for the 1999-
2000 yearbook," Suhr said. "Next year,
Senate will not fund the yearbook, but the
Sequelle is looking into becoming self-sup-
porting."
Suhr noted that Senate will form an ad
hoc committee to work with the yearbook
and tackle issues of membership and
increasing the communication between the
Sequelle and the communication depart-
ment. "I would like to commend Dr. Janet
Knepper in her role as the Sequelle's new
advisor," she said. "However, there are still
problems that need to be overcome."
"Additionally, the CSA operates as a busi-
ness and it would be a bad business expen-
diture for the CSA to allocate money for a
third yearbook when the past have not been
completed," Suhr said.
It is still at the discretion of Student
Senate whether or not to provide a larger
operating expense budget, she noted, and
Senate will be evaluating the yearbook's
progress.
Clarion University Athletics was allocat-
ed a total of $345,000 for the 1999-2000

Redbank locked its doors
by John M. Cornish II, Ed. D.
Red hank Valley School^ District ^Sujjt^
The Redbank Valley School District has
experienced a great deal of concern and
fears during the last six days. These fears
have been promoted by widespread rumors.
These rumors have been continued and
inflated with each passing day.
With the assistance of the police, the
school officials have fully investigated all
rumors and leads. The police are also
assisting with extra patrols and additional
security measures are in effect. All doors,
except the main entrances, in all the school
buildings will be locked.
To date there has been nothing discovered
to cause alarm or to substantiate any threats
in the school. Students have been cau-
tioned not to be involved in pranks or jokes
of any kind that might be considered a
threat.
The community is aware that the authori-
ties have made some arrests and are inves-
tigating some incidents not related to the
school. Again, these issues are being han-
dled and, at this time, do not pose any dan-
ger to our students.
The staff, administration, and Board of
School Directors all share the concern for
the safety of the children. In light of the
recent incident in Colorado, these concerns
grow into fears and rumors only increase
that fear. We have been able to substantiate
that many of the rumors are false and need
to be stopped.
We appreciate all the understanding that
the parents and students have shown. I
invite you to call with any questions or con-
cerns.

Student Senate President
Elected to the office of president by a vote
of acclimation was Leslie Suhr. Suhr
served as chair of the Student Facilities
Committee during the 1997-1998 year, and
is the outgoing treasurer/Appropriations
Committee chair.
"With seven Senators returning, I think
Senate will be really strong next year," she
said. "I hope we can overcome some of the
negativity that Student Senate has received
this year."
Suhr said she has some goals for the
upcoming academic year. "I would person-
ally like to combat student apathy by get-
ting them more involved with Senate," she
said. "There are subcommittees that stu-
dents can be a part of that students may not
realize."

"I would like to see the development of the

Student Government Presidents (BSGP).

dents that read this, many knew it was about a wrestling
event. But, to others, it was viewed as an idle threat as an
omen or upcoming event.
We will not argue about who interpreted what the ad
meant and we certainly are not saying that it should be
taken lightly in lieu of the recent events in Colorado.
The Call does not purposely publish material that will
evoke widespread panic at the university level. However,
if Public Safety and faculty alike would have addressed
the issue to us and let us explain the content of the classi-
fied, unnecessary criticism would not have occurred. And
we could have proved that it was not someone paying for
an ad in our newspaper to make threats.
If the proper steps would have been taken to assure the
content and quality of the ad, then the images of the Call
and the University would not have been tarnished.
Let's just hope that because of the hasty actions that
were taken, ideas are not provoked in students. Because
the classifieds are taken as little personals between
friends, this should not have been misinterpreted at any
level.
Finally let us leave you with a thought. Just today, stu-
dents in Venango County put a threat on the internet sys-
tem during class. Should we then not permit students to
use computers in class? Then what? Monitor their cloth-
ing apparel? Not permit letters to the editor in school
newspapers? Forbid students from listening to alternative
music? Or, maybe, prevent students from exercising free
expression.
Sometimes, we need to sit back and monitor our
actions. Are we making a situation even worse by draw-
ing attention to miniscule details and perhaps, evoking a
response in someone? An ad that was sent to a friend has
now been used to possibly draw start a potential conflict.

Ad author responds
To the Students and Faculty of
Clarion University:
First of all, let me apologize to
you. Many of the students may
have no clue what this is about
and may not even care for it, and I
know both of these are true in
many circumstances.
I am apologizing to you because
of die personal that I entered into
die "Personal" section of the
Aprill 22, 1999 issue of the
Clarion Call.
This personal read, "To all who
are involved in the 'Royal
Rumble' on April 30, you will
die!"
For someone to read this and
think something drastic is bound
to happen is understandable. But
for someone to take action, as has
happened, is not.
Many students and even some
professors may know what the
"Royal Rumble" is. To those of
you who don't, let me explain.
This Friday, April 30, a couple of
my friends have planned a
wrestling event in the courtesy of
one person's home and are calling
it the "Royal Rumble." This
event is not a very public event.
Many students have been made
aware of it and may be attending
and participating. But these stu-
dents are a select few. They know
what will be happening and they
also know what is expected of
them.

There will be no injuries, no
killings and no violence of any
kind that stems from the perimeter
of wrestling. All of the people
involved know what is happening
and what they are getting them-
selves into.

Dear Editor:
I am not usually one to respond
to Letters to the Editor, but after
reading two letters in the April 22

essary.
As News Editor, it is my job to
report the news — all of it. Mr.
Isbir and Mr. Watts raise very valid
points by inquiring if the incidents
reported in the April 15 issue
would have appeared on die front
page of The Call and other news
outlets had the incident not
involved Greeks. The question,
sadly, cannot be answered because
it wasn't other students who were
involved.
The facts remain. I received a

"We should embrace
expression because it is
the solution."
Joseph Wyatt
Teens in Trenchcoats
Why would someone who was
going to commit an act of treachery
place an ad in a paper? Or why
would they create a web page or
make a film that hinted at their inten-
tions? Doesn't it seem strange to
publicly announce something that
you're trying to keep secret? And
what if we stumble upon one of these
signposts — how should we react?
Our reaction to troubled teens in
trenchcoats should not be to ban the
trenchcoats, or to ban the music that
the trenchcoats listen to, or to ban the
computers the trenchcoats operate, or
to ban the words and phrases that the
trenchcoats use.
In fact, the opposite is true. We
should allow, and even invite,
expression. We should embrace
trenchcoat music and trenchcoat art
and trenchcoat poetry because
expression is not the problem. The
problem is deeper. The problem is
feelings of alienation and fear and
hate and rage - feelings that have no
outiet and no forum of expression.
There is no one listening. So they talk
louder. They scream.
We should embrace expression
because it is the solution. Why do
these kids make movies or create
web pages or run ads in newspapers?
Because they're trying to tell us
something. They're saying, "I'm
hurting, I'm scared, I'm conflused,
I'm angry. I don't know how to han-
dle these situations. 1 feel rejected,
and I'm full of hate, and I'm armed to
the teeth with guns and ammo and
information. Help."
Too often our reaction is to squelch
them, humiliate them and ignore
them and berate them. And their
anger grows. Their alienation intensi-
fies. They gravitate to the other dis-
enchanted and disenfranchised.
Some blow their brains out Some
seek refuge in drugs and alcohol.
Some hold out until they're 40 with a
mortgage and kids, and then go to
work on a sunny day and gun down
the whole office. And some eat their
breakfast, say goodbye to Mom and
Dad, go to school and try to slaugh-
ter everyone. Everyone.
We need to talk and to listen (most-
ly listen). We need to communicate.
We need to act as a mirror for the dis-
torted feelings and images that these
kids have in order to provide an
instrument for self-correction. We
need to care.
I' m not naive enough to believe this
will solve the whole problem. When
the potential for destructive behavior
is present, action must be taken to
stop that behavior. We must cleariy
delineate the line between expression
and threat. But trying to stop the
expression of genuine feelings will
only spark more outrageous behav-
ior. Expression defuses anger and
hostility and will, hopefully, be a first
step in eliminating that dreadful step
from hateful thought to hateful
action.
How they become what they are is
a different issue. They're here. We
can call them monsters, but their
faces on the front page betray the
truth - they, too, are our sons and
daughters. We don't have to like
what they say or like how they say it,
but I think I hear them saying that we
befter damn well listen.

Two weeks from Saturday, I will
graduate from Clarion University
after four wonderful years. As I
embark on a new chapter in my
life, I'd like to use my last editori-
al to share some lessons I have
learned and to thank some of the
people who have sprinkled my life
with joy and inspiration.
First, cherish every moment.
Remember that first day as a fresh-
man, that first 'A' on a paper you
worked on all night. Remember
laughing at bad jokes because you
were too tired to realize they were
bad, and remember crying just
because you hadn't in a long time
and it felt good. Some of the best
times I've had here I can remember
as if they were yesterday. These
four years have gone by like a
flash; treasure the moments you
make here always.
Second, read good books. I've
had the pleasure of reading great
novels written by great authors.
Don't just read for class or because
you have to, but WANT to read.
Savor it. Read "The Book of
Ruth" and change your view of
people; read "Song of Solomon"
and let it change your soul.
Appreciate every word and under-
line quotes that matter; you'll find
the quotes remain in your head
long after the last page is turned.
Next, laugh a lot-especially at
yourself. College can be a high-
stress, high-intensity experience;
sometimes we forget to have fun.
Learn to laugh as a stress reliever.
You'll discover that your day
seems bearable and you'll smile,
which can keep all of us going.
Find good in every day. We all
have bad days, but by dwelling on
them we only make it worse. Take
a moment at the end of the day to
find one or two aspects of the day
which make you glad or grateful.
It could be simple, like a canceled
class or a hug from a friend, but
your oudook will totally change
because you will realize how
much that is positive really hap-
pens every day.
Open your mind and heart.
College is about experiencing
diversity. Appreciate people of
other races, ethnic backgrounds,
religious beliefs, etc. I'm not ask-
ing to make the jump to complete
acceptance, but just making the
effort to try and understand those

conclusions is a crime, Page 2.
We would never, and I repeat
NEVER put anyone into danger
as most of you, and you know
who you are, have interpreted.
Also, I know that most of you
thought that I was referring to
something more serious. For the
people who do know me, you
know I would never do anything
drastic like that, let alone be
capable of it.
I know that serious incidents
have been happening in high
schools lately, but you need to
realize that what I wrote was a
'personal'. If you look at the
personals, they are all jokes.
Most of them are inside jokes,
lovey-dovey messges or just sim-
ple hellos.
I applaud you for taking pre-
cautions because I would have
done the same thing. But the dif-
ference between you and me is
that I would have checked all of
my sources before I would have
blown this out of proportion.
The Call Staff is a group of
very responsible and classy indi-
viduals. They have a say in what
goes in the paper and what does
not make the paper.
They look over everything and
make sure it is approved for the
issue. If they would have had
any suspicion about this 'person-
al' they would have called the
source or not entered it into the
personal section.
You need to understand that
this is a college paper; the staff is
in charge, and they are doing
their job. By making this public,
and spreading it all across
Pennsylvania, you are making a
mockery that does not need to be
made, getting too many people
involved, and getting too many
people worried about this.
You need to check your sorces
before taking any action and
making people go crazy.
Thank you for your time. Once
again I am sorry, and I hope that
you understand what you have
put everyone through-especially
the Call staff.

EDITOR! It is my job to report the news, whether Greek or
not; News Editor responds, from Page 2.
two-page fax from the Clarion Borough Police describing, at length,
the incidents that transpired on March 26. Now some may describe the
incidents as minor, but as the News Editor of the Clarion University
student newspaper, any occurrence that warrants police intervention
requires my attention and news coverage.
Had the same circumstances arisen with parties who were not affili-
ated with Greek organizations, would the description of the incidents
appear on the front page? My answer would be yes. Greeks were not
the reason that this story appeared on the front page; the alleged crim-
inal activity was.
I am sorry that we can't print every positive contribution that Greeks
make to society. I am fully aware of all of the great community service
endeavors that sororities and fraternities undertake every year, and I
resent the accusation that all of the positive actions go unnoticed. This
newspaper exists to print the news — and not act as a Greek PR
newsletter or newsletter for all CS A organizations.
Greeks have constantly clamored for a Greek Page in the newspaper
in order to highlight all of the good deeds they perform. I think that
much of the good that is done is underappreciated. When asked to sub-
mit material for printing, little if anything trickled into the office. If
The Call was informed in advance of some important events being
sponsored by Greeks, there is a chance that the events may be covered.
And, as is common in the news business, more important stories get
more coverage.
The issue can be debated forever. Is Greek community service as
important as an $85 increase in the parking permit fee? Does a possi-
ble $2 million University budget shortfall fall to page 8 while Greek
Sing gets front page consideration? My answer may be different from
others, but the implication that Greek efforts go unnoticed is simply
and utterly false.
My next point is addressed to Ms. Vitale and her letter chastising the
current Panhellenic Council president about the design of the Greek
Week t-shirt. Kristi makes some very good points as well, but she goes
on to say that the current president is not loyal to the Greek system by
apologizing for a shirt that shows Greeks as stronger than others. Now,
I don't know if that's an entirely fair statement, and it's a bit arrogant
if I must say so.
The implication that Greeks are better than other students is wrong.
We are a community of 6,000, and we should not allow ourselves to get
into these "I'm better than you are" high school games. We should be
more involved in growing as students and getting an education more
than worrying about t-shirt designs and the strength of the Greeks over
the rest of the students.
And one more point, Ms. Vitale. You find it ''pathetic" that people
would be offended by the Greek Week t-shirt. I myself was not offend-
ed in the least by the design, but I think that by insulting the intelli-
gence of students who have done nothing at all against you or the
Panhellenic Council, you have done more to degrade the Greek system
status here at Clarion than your successor. People have a right to feel
any way they choose, and, sorry to say, Ms. Vitale, you cannot change
that opinion no matter how much you write.
In conclusion, the Greek system has done much for Clarion
University, but so have others with no ties to fraternities or sororities.
There needs to be less competition and more communication before
real progress can be made.

Civility
Div«#sity
Sexual preference, a different
side of diversity
by Michael Chapaloney Editor in Chief
* From an interview with Dr. John Ernissee, Professor of
Geology at Clarion University
In past weeks this column has
featured concerns from the Red
Cross, Student Senate, and pro-
fessionals in the field of civility
and diversity. This week it will
feature the personal perspective
from Dr. Ernissee who spoke
first hand from inside the issue
of diversity.
Ernissee's closeness to the
issue of diversity began over 25
years ago with his "coming
out" as a gay man. While living
in Albany, NY with five other
men from his home town,
Ernissee said, "I found myself
being very miserable and very
uncomfortable, they had parties
and I was very unhappy."
After realizing that he had
probably been a gay man for at
least ten years, Ernissee decid-
ed to formally come-out some-
time in 1972. Making a life
changing decision is not
"easy." "Coming-out is a self
recognition; and the difficulty
that I have had been a gay per-
son and not knowing it, not
acknowledging it since late
adolescence." Ernissee came-
out into the Gay Activist
Alliance, an organization at the
state university in Albany, NY.
Soon after joining the Alliance,
he started to assist with class-
room presentations in colleges
throughout the state of New
York.
Ernissee took his next step
toward becoming Dr. Ernissee
by entering graduate school at
the University of South
Carolina. There at the universi-
ty, a gay organization was try-
ing to become chartered and
Ernissee supported this recog-
nition. Due to circumstance
such as a late charter form, the
organization failed to be char-
tered. This did not prevent
Emissee from speaking in sev-
eral classrooms to about 3,000
students over five years, he
estimates.
In 1983, Ernissee was hired at
Clarion University and attempt-
ed to start a gay group on cam-
pus. "Most of the first ten years
there were half hearted efforts
to get a gay students organiza-
tion going, " he said. In recent
years a group has arisen called
Allies which was started inde-
pendently, was not really a pro-
ject of Ernissee's. He said that
Allies is comprised of faculty,
students, and staff, and that
there really isn't a presumption
of being gay to be a part of the
group.
Dr. Ernissee addressed the
issue of the fear of coming-out,
"I think that there is a paranoia,
the paranoia is very high. Our
students, the gay students are
not particularity willing to be
out." After coming-out, the stu-
dents can participate through
Allies in talking to classes, such
as human sexuality and psy-
chology about social needs.
According to Ernissee, Allies is
striving to educate students that
there are gay people on this
campus. He highlighted the
fact that gay people are in a
sense "invisible."
In the field of diversity,
Ernissee considers himself an
educator and a resource on gay
issues. "There is a real problem
with this whole issue of diversi-
ty and multiculturism... gay
people don't fit ethnic divi-
sions, racial divisions; people
are gay in every cultural and
every socio-economic division,
every racial division of
America. A small persistent
percentage of humanity is
going to be sexually attracted to
members of their own gender.
Unfortunately one of the things
that we face with gender diver-
sity is that human sexuality
isn't a black and white issue."

different from you will enrich your life by leaps
and bounds.
Make time for yourself. Take 20 minutes and
watch your soaps or listen to a CD. Don't allow
yourself to burn out. College can be a test of
strength and sanity... keeping yourself in check
will benefit you long after graduation.
Value the people in your life. My friends
know that no hour is too late to call, no request
is too small or too incredible, no paper or test is
more important to me than them. Tests are one
day; friendships are for lifetimes. Be there for
your friends and value the contributions they
make to your life. Tell them how they have
impacted your life and use what you have
learned from them in your relationships with
others. Never let a moment pass without
telling those people that have made a differ-
ence how much they matter.
Now I'll take one of the lessons and put it in
to practice. So many people to thank, so little
time.
Thank you to Student Senate, faculty and
administration who have been of great assis-
tance to me these past two years.
Thank you to past and current staffs of The
Clarion Call, WCUC, and TV5, who have
given me experience that no textbook could
ever provide.
To Dr. Tu, Dr. Larson and Dr. Hilton: Thank
you for all that you have taught me and the sup-
port you have shown. Thank you for sharing
your vast knowledge with me; you have no
idea what I have gained from you.
Thanks a million to my friends at the Loomis:
Ed, Jeff, Missy, Rachel, Todd and Bobbi, just to
name a few. Thanks to all of you for making
me feel welcome and comfortable. Jeff: Enjoy
your calculator... you earned it, buddy!
Amy, thanks for all of the fun times we have
shared. Our "Price is Right" trip will happen.
Plinko or Bust!! I'll never listen to "Ice Ice
Baby" or "I Will Survive" without thinking of
you. You are truly wonderful, and I appreciate
you more than you know.
Kristen and Danielle: Thanks for all of those
fun memories (Kristen and Mutton, Danielle as
my NYC girlfriend). You are excellent
women, and I wish you nothing but success
and more happiness in years to come.
Skippy, thanks for all of the great times in the
morning. Thank you for all of your hard work
and dedication this year. I hope you have
learned and grown, and I hope you find success
in all you tackle.
Kristi, we've worked so well together, it's so
hard to say good-bye. Thanks for being my
"right hand babe" these past two years at
WCUC. I'll never forget those great times both
on and off the air. Never give up on your
dream. I'm 100% positive I'll be seeing you on
the network news one day. Keep the peace for
me and keep flashing mat great smile.
Patty and Angela, thank you so much for all
of your help this year. I couldn't have made it
through this year without you bom. Patty, I
hope you and Janet get to meet some day.
Angela, best of luck as News Editor next year.
I know you will do an excellent job in the fall.
Running the desk is a challenge, but I know
you will rise to the occasion.
Leslie, thank you for being my listening post
this past year. We have had some excellent
conversations and my respect for you has no
limit. I'll never forget our BSGP trips and all of
the fun we had during deadlines and Senate
meetings. You will be an excellent Student
Senate President, and I know all of your hard
work will be rewarded. I'll never forget you,
and you better save me a spot at BSGP Nov. 12.
Trish, what can I say? Your presence in my
life has changed me profoundly. I've grown so
much up here, and you had a part in that. I
couldn't have been as comfortable with some
decisions I've made if it weren't for your love
and support. BTW: I better get a card from
Australia. You're wonderful.
Kelly, thank you for all of the fun we've had
these past few years. So many times to remem-
ber and recall, where to begin? I hope you and
Pedro have a long life together traveling the
country, and I hope all of your dreams come
true.
Dr. Barlow, thank you for everything. I've
gained so much just by knowing you and I
couldn't have done my job as well without you
here. Thank you for allowing me to grow as a
writer and editor more than I ever dreamed
possible. You never cease to amaze me, and
you have been more of an inspiration than you
will ever know. For all that you have given me,
I am eternally grateful. I'm packing my bags
for Newfoundland as we speak. Just wonder-
ing... do you play hockey?
Jud, thank you. For listening. For under-
standing. For allowing me to share some of
your time with me. For seeing aspects of
myself I never saw before and helping me to
appreciate and be happy for who I am. I've
grown so much by knowing you, probably in
more ways than I even realize. Keep Skippy in
line for me and keep singing Billy Joel and
Neil Diamond. I'm so glad you share my
appreciation for how profound a play 'RENT
can be if you allow it. You don't have to wait
to be 'Angel', you already are.
Alyssa (Baby): I'll never be able to explain
how it started, but our friendship has grown by
leaps and bounds. You bring me so much joy
by just a smile, a great hug and, of course, a
baliroom dance. You enrich my life by your
mere presence, and you have enabled me to
grow in ways I never thought possible. The
gifts you have given me will last three life-
times. Anytime you need me, anywhere you
are, you know I'm there. Always and forever.
Vickie, Becca, and Michael: The words I
could write about the three of you could fill
chapters, not paragraphs. I truly do not know
if I would still be here if it weren't for your con-
stant love and support. You have been there for
me, without fail, and for that I can never repay
you. As we go our separate ways, I realize
today that the bond we have will never be bro-
ken. We'll always find a way to stay together,
no matter die distance or cost. You each have
given me marvelous gifts. You should be
proud, knowing the profound effect you have
made on the person I am today and the person
I still have yet to be. Trust me, I have more to
write to each of you, but you'll read those let-
ters May 15.
I also need to thank Jeff, Mark, Michel, Dena,
Gretchen, Adam, Wendy, Shane, Nick, Nancy,
Eric, Kevin, and Danee. You have each made
a difference in my life and I'll treasure my time
with all of you dearly.
To all who are graduating and to all who
remain, I close with one final thought. Take
what you have learned here both inside and out

STUDENT SENATE
Stipend proposal passes for 2000-2001

Student Senate passed a propos-
al to compensate the president,
vice president, and treasurer of the
Senate at Monday's meeting.
The compensation is planned to
take effect during the 2000-2001
academic school year. The
stipend is 50 percent of tuition for
the president, 25 percent of tuition
for the vice president and 25 per-
cent of tuition for the treasurer.
The three Senators will be able
to use the money toward tuition,
books, or any other expenses they
deem appropriate.
According to the proposal, the
officers will be awarded the
stipend after each completed term
in office and will be reimbursed
for time actually spent working in
the office. A term is defined as a
semester. The stipend payments
will be at the end of each semes-
ter.
The stipend will be funded from
the Student Activity Fee, and will
be included in the Student Senate
budget request.
Senate also approved the adop-
tion of a resolution stating their
opposition to the proposed park-
ing permit fee increase.
According to Senator Amy
Moeslein, "This was done to show
that Senate is not in support of the
proposal, and if President
Reinhard accepts the proposal,
she does so without our support."
The entire resolution was read
aloud and it was adopted by a vote
of 18-0.

to allocate $570 from the supple-
mental account to the concert and
show choir for funding of music
ensembles. Dr. Milutin Lazich
said the funds were necessary as a
result of a depletion of funds and
the need to buy four more num-
bers to perform at their May con-
certs.
In the large-item capital account,
there is $110,484 and there is
$120,240 in the capital account.

$15,092 is in the supplemental
account before the allocation to

20 Senators for the next year were
inducted as they prepare to serve
the students of Clarion University.

Senators will be meeting May 3 in

Will General Ed. requirements be changed?
by Patricia Boberg
Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor
The last of three sessions con-
cerning general education courses
(the left side of the check sheet)
was held Tuesday by a member of
the Council of Education.
Students attended Tuesday
night's session to voice their opin-
ions concerning the steps council
is taking to evaluate the current
process.
Dr. Stephen Johnson, Associate
Dean, College of Arts and
Sciences, led the discussion. Dr.
Johnson kicked the session off
with the question, "What is the
purpose of general education
courses?"
No matter where
you go or what you do,
there is always a need
for general
education. 99
-Dr. Stephen Johnson,
associate dean,
College of Arts and
Sciences
This was the point stressed most,
the fact that students are not aware
of the purpose of taking these
courses.

ry aspects of general education;

includes sciences, liberal sci-
ences, and art. Flag courses are

mented to provide specialized
skills in ones major on ethical
issues. Personal Performance
exercises an individual's life long

"These courses are important
because they provide students
with the flexibility to go in any
direction. It teaches them to use
opportunities in an applicable
manner," said Johnson. "No mat-
ter where you go or what you do,
there is always a need for general
knowledge."
According to Dr. Johnson, the
council of education is trying to

classes into a students major,
through tying the two together.
Several students expressed their
opinions on general education
courses. Students presented Dr.
Johnson with questions such as,
Are these general education
courses really worth bringing
down a students GPA? and, Is
there any way to simply reduce
the number of classes required?.
One student even felt that this sys-
tem is a "scam by the university to
get the students' money".
Dr. Johnson did agree on one
contributing factor to the problem,
"seat availability is the number
one issue among students right
now."
Similar meetings are also being
held with faculty members to get a
shared perspective. Through the
use of two kinds of data collected,
the council is gathering student
perspectives at the same time.
"The first part of this process is
the focus groups, where we can
concentrate on exchanging infor-
mation with one another," said
Johnson. 'The second will be sur-
veys that can be distributed
among a broader population."
The purpose of this program is
to strengthen the program cycle as
a whole by implementing some-
thing different. Johnson stated,
"We need to reassess ourselves by
asking, Are we accomplishing
what we originally set out to do?".

Numerous student concerns
about dining on campus were
raised during a meeting with stu-
dents, Student Senators, and
Lonnie Gilbert, Director of Food
Service on April 26.
Gilbert stressed looking at the
big picture when addressing con-
cerns, showing how the interac-
tion of many factors inllucnce the
dining system. Gilbert also
demonstrated that a majority of
what goes on now in Food
Services was determined by the
contract which was signed years
ago.
"We have to stay within
University guidelines," said
Gilbert.
Gilbert explained that the pric-
ing system for meal plans was
determined by the contract based
on participation.
Participation is the number of
meals a student actually eats out
of the total number possible as
allowed by his meal plan. Meal
plan prices are based on the fact
that not all students eat all their
possible meals.
"One-hundred percent participa-
tion would violate the contract,"
said Gilbert.
Gilbert also explained that not
all the money students pay for
their meal plan goes to Food
Services. Forty percent of meal
plan money and fifteen percent of
flex goes to the University. That
money is then used for utility bills
and upkeep of Chandler Dining
Hall and Riemer Snack Bar.
Currently Chartwells, the com-
pany contracted to provide food
services to Clarion University, is
losing $10,000. The Riemer
Snack Bar, which is a satellite of
Chandler Dining Hall, is the only
location making money.
However, Riemer is operating at
over four times its normal capaci-

forward to taking an active role in
the Board. "I look forward to
tackling issues that affect campus-
es across the State System," she
said.
She added that she is "not ruling
out" a possible executive position
with BSGP. "It's a leadership role
that I'd be willing to step up to,"
she said.
Jesse Shirey was elected vice
president, after a debate with Amy
Moeslein. According to the con-
stitution of the Clarion Students'
Association, Shirey will assume
all duties of the president in the
president's absence, including
presiding over the Student Senate.
Other vice presidential duties
include serving as a member of
the Appropriations Committee of
the Student Senate, serving as a
member of the CSA Board of
Directors, accepting all official
responsibilities and obligations
deemed necessary by the Student
Senate, soliciting reports from all
Student Senate standing commit-
tees, tabulating and maintaining
all attendance records of all
Student Senators, advising all
standing committees chairpersons
as to their duties and those of their
committee, and serving as a mem-
ber of the Executive Committee of
Student Senate.
Suhr will turn the appropriations
business over to Brian Sowa, who
was elected after a 30-minute
debate with Amy Moeslein. The
constitution states that the
Treasurer will be the elected
chairperson of the Appropriations
Committee of Student Senate and
keep an accurate account of all
Student Activity Fee accounts.
Other duties of treasurer include
giving an oral report at all regular
meetings of Student Senate on the
financial status of the Student
Activity Fee and on any motions
passed by the Appropriations
Committee, presiding over the
meetings of Student Senate in the
absence of the President and Vice
President of Student Senate, and
proposing, in conjunction with the
Appropriations Committee, the
Student Activity Fee budget for
die next fiscal year.
The constitution also states that
the treasurer will, in consultation
with the Appropriations
Committee, periodically review
and recommend changes to the
Student Senate Policies and
Procedures and serves as a mem-
ber of the Executive Committee of
the Student Senate.
Finally, Mike Mangieri was
elected by acclimation to the
newly-created parliamentarian
position. According to the consti-
tution, the parliamentarian will
assist the President and the
Student Senate in conducting
business in accordance with the
current edition of 'Robert's Rules
Gilbert said that the renovation
of Chandler will hopefully draw
some students back to the dining
hall and cut down on some of the
labor costs and wear-and-lear on
Riemer.
One concern raised by students
was a rumor that the two-drink-
limit on board was instituted by
Student Senate.
Some Senators said they heard
that Riemer employees had
allegedly informed students that
the policy was the decision of
Senate. Gilbert said that the poli-
cy was a result of Chartwells
redoing their "menu mix" and that
he would reiterate the fact to
employees.
Another question concerned a
Flex-only plan for off -campus stu-
dents. Gilbert said that such a
plan could be implemented, but
only by amending the contract.
Health concerns were also an
issue. One student complained
of Order, Newly Revised' and
periodically review the
Constitution of the Clarion
Students' Association and the
CSA Student Senate By-Laws and
make recommendations for revi-
sions and changes when needed.
Other duties of the parliamen-
tarian include keeping all

of their responsibilities of each
about bugs she had seen in
Chandler Dining Hall. Gilbert
explained that part of the problem
stems from the fact that
Chartwells must have five fresh
fruits on hand at all times. The
fruit, in turn, attracts the bugs.
Covers were recently put on pas-
tries and other items in the food
lines of Chandler. Students also
suggested that condiment pumps
could be used in Chandler and
Riemer.
Senator Leslie Suhr said she was
pleased with the meeting's atten-
dance and the number of students
who addressed concerns about the
food service on campus.
"I feel the meeting was posi-
tive," she said. "Mr. Gilbert real-
ized that students do have con-
cerns."

Committee chair improves upon

Dining Committee chair) has tried
to make this year."

number of members on each standing

ber of the Student Senate Executive
Committee.

International community growing at CU
by Sandy Wadding
Clarion Call Staff Writer
As of the Spring 1999 semester
sixteen new international students
became enrolled at Clarion
University. This brings the interna-
tional student population at Clarion
to 57 students representing 27 coun-
tries. This is an increase over the
Fall 1998 semester. They comprise
the most since 63 international stu-
dents enrolled for the Fall 1996
semester.
Arriving in January were Jamel
Bailey from Bermuda; Tilak Balu,
Mahendra Singh, and Monica Singh
from India; Wai Loon Chan and
Nwakaego Osadebe from Nigeria;
Maria Henandez from Argentina;
Despo Ioakim from Cyprus; Rumy
Jaleel-Khan and Mohammed Kamil
from Sri Lanka; Sepo Lamaswala
from Zambia; Soo Keun Lee from
Korea; and Ekaterina Tsybina from
University Relations
Sixteen new international students were welcomed at
Clarion University during the spring semester.
Russia. Most of them arrived during
the major ice and snow storm that
struck the east coast in January. For
many of them it was their first expe-
rience with snow.
In order to gain acceptance to
Clarion University international stu-
dents must follow a slightly varied
criteria.
"In addition to the standard admis-
sion requirements that are set by the
admissions office," said Linda
Heineman of the International
Student Program, "International stu-
dents have to provide evidence of
Fnglish proficiency, either by a sat-
isfactory TOEFL test score, which is
Testing Of English as a Foreign
Language, or a satisfactory SAT
score."
"They also have to show evidence
of adequate financial support for
their at least their first year of
study," she said. "That documenta-
tion is necessary for admission and
also to get their immigration form I-
20 so that they can apply for the
visa."
There is no limit of the number of
international students accepted at
Clarion University. "This is the
highest number we've had since
1996, when we had sixty three."
"We're putting a lot of time and
effort into recruitment right now an
dhope to have close to 75 interna-
tional students in the fall," said
Heineman. "We're really pleased
with the many different cultures rep-

academic year. The largest amount
allocated to any organization, it
comprises 36 percent of the total
budget. According to Suhr, the
funding of athletics is always con-
troversial.
"It (funding athletics) is a polar-
izing issue because students are
torn about how much of their activ-
ity fee dollars should go to fund
athletics," she said.
She said athletics was not
increased on a percentage basis, but
the allocation had more of a long-
term focus. "Next year, we
(Senate) might not have the
resources, so we tried to make an
allocation that would be increased
in the future without cutting athlet-
ics short in the present."
"Bob Carlson (athletic director)
was very cooperative with the com-
mittee," Suhr added. *'lt was a long
process by working around issues
including funding cuts at both the
state and University level as well as
trying to offset gender-equity and
TitlelX."
The Clarion Call saw an almost
$4,000 increase this year in its allo-
cation, and a new advertising poli-
cy was drafted "to offset the high
costs incurred by Senate and the
CSA and advertising in a student
publication," Suhr said.
The policy states that all CSA-
recognized organizations will
receive a 20 percent discount on
advertising. Additionally, intramu-
rals will receive free advertising of
their half-page submissions to The
Call because they have been
incorporated into the sports section.
"Any additional advertising will
have to be paid for from their fund-
ing," said Suhr.
Also, IFC/Panhel and the
Sequelle will receive 30 column
inches of free advertising in the
newspaper each year. Student
Senate and the University
Activities Board (UAB) will
receive 60 column inches of free
ads each year.
The three stipulations that were
placed on funding to three organi-
zations were renewed this year.
The first stipulation involves the
funding to the University Activities
Board. $106,245 was originally
allocated to the Board for next year.
After further review, $15,000 was
added to the allocation, provided
that $45,000 be spent to fund a big
name concert.
"We were impressed with UAB's
efforts last year, and alter seeing
the list of possible bands for this
year, we felt it was important to
increase the allocation again this
year," Suhr said. The stipulation
states that the contract for the con-
cert must be signed by Dec. 1. If
the contract is not signed by that
date, the extra $15,000 allocated
will revert back to the supplemental
account.
The second stipulation involves
the funding for general administra-
tion of the CSA. A total of
$131,800 was allocated, pending
the findings of a review of the CSA
business office by the CSA Board
of Directors Administration
Evaluation Committee. "The com-
mittee has taken an active role in
evaluating the administration,
which is something that has never
been done before," Suhr said.
If the review of administration is
favorable, funding may increase to
general administration.
Last year's stipulation which was
placed on Public Relations/Sports
Information remains intact this
year. Out of the $9,600 allocation,
Senate requires a total of $2,200
must be spent on brochures for
smaller sports which, according to
Suhr, have not received proper
funding. The sports include base-
ball, softball, golf, men's and
women's cross country, and men's
and women's track. Senate is also
requiring that copies of all
brochures must be submitted to
them for review.
"We reviewed the work done by
Sports Information, and we were
impressed with the quality and
improvement shown over last sea-
son," Suhr said.
The final organization affected by
this year's budget is Intramurals.
They were originally allocated
$15,000, but the allocation was
decreased because of changes in
the advertising policy to The
Clarion Call. Additionally, the
money is not to be used to fund
activities that may cause a large lia-
bility to the CSA, such as climbing
and caving.
"The University is working on
adapting an outdoors recreation
program that will include such
activities (like climbing and cav-
ing)," Suhr said.
Suhr said she was pleased with
how the budgeting process went
this year. One major concern about
budgeting involves budgeting for
national conferences. "Students
don't know that we don't initially
budget for national conferences or
competitions, that money comes
out of the supplemental account."
She noted that the number of bud-
get hearings decreased to 12 this
year. Hearings are scheduled when
organizations want to further dis-
cuss the allocation they were rec-
ommended from Student Senate.
"I think this year's appropriations
committee put in a lot of work,"
she said. "Regardless of what a lot
of people think, we made a lot of
hard decisions, but ones that should
have been evaluated a while ago."
Suhr has nothing but praise for her
six fellow committee members. "I
want to thank my committee for all of
their hard work and stepping up to do
the job at a very hard time."
Members of the Appropriations
Committee were chair Leslie Suhr,
John Brown, Dan Mellon, Mike
Mangieri, Mitch Augustine, Amy
Moeslein, and Patricia Meeley.

COURSES! Gen. Ed. classes
under review, from Page 7.
Students seem to understand the
purpose and value of the skills and
liberal courses. But council mem-
bers have concluded through these
three sessions that something
clearly needs to be done with flag
courses.
Flag courses are unique, which
makes Clarion University one of
the few that have implemented
this system.
"It is a philosophical idea of con-
joining these courses into the stu-
dent's majors. It is a good idea, I
think it's cumbersome," said
Johnson. 'The one thing that I see
coming out of this is the student
concerns with these courses affect-
ing GPA's."
Students can E-mail, write, or
stop in Dr. Johnson's office at 220
Founders Hall to stress any addi-
tional comments they may have
concerning general education
courses.
"This is the students' chance to
have their voice heard and taken
seriously," said Johnson. "We, on
the council of education, have no
knowledge of student complaints
unless they are brought directly to
us, and therefore we can not try to
make appropriate changes."

Thornton chosen as Minority Woman of the Year
by Sandy Wadding
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Sharon Thornton, a member of the
Clarion University of Pennsylvania
maintenance staff, is the 1999
Minority Woman of the Year.
The Office of Minority Studcnl
Services and the Women of Color
Committee sponsored the award. It is
given to women of color to recognize
their outstanding contributions to the
community.
Nominees for this award must have
been involved and worked for the
cause and advancement of women's
issues and continued diversity in
local, regional, and national issues, be
an active member of the community,
and be involved in the support of
grass roots issues.
*"I was shocked to receive this
award," said Thornton. "I believed
that it would go to someone with a
higher education. I am a very private
person and a lot of what I do wouldn't
be known without Anita Lahr includ-
ing it in her nomination form."
Thornton's on campus activities
include Stop Abuse for Everyone
(SAFE), the African American
Caucus, serving on the William
Magagnotti Scholarship Committee,
President's Commission on
Disabilities and the parking commit-
tee Her work related activities
include participation in the custodi-
al/maintenance retirement committee.
Institutional Maintenance Supervisor
Search Committee, the American
Federation of State. County, and
Municipal Employees (AFSCME)
Local #2326.
Thorntons community service is
comprised of mentoring for Clarion
University minority students. As part
of an AFSCME effort, she organizes
bingo twice a month at New
Beginnings nursing home. She has
worked with the Red Cross Blood
Drive on campus for the past three
years.
"People don't know that I have two
part time jobs. I also take care of my
quadriplegic cousin in Franklin from
Saturday morning to Sunday morning
every weekend. Volunteering is my
way of dealing with the work that I
do. It's sort of like relaxation for me
in a way"
The award ceremony turned out to
be an enlightening event to some
members of Thornton's family. "'Oh,
they're very happy. My kids are real-
ly proud of me. My two oldest didn't
really know everything that I was
doing. When they came to the cere-
mony my oldest said to me on

University Relations
Sharon Thornton received
the Minority Woman of the
Year award at this year's
Women's Conference.
Saturday, "Gee, Mom, you should
have told us. You should have told me
and Dee what all you did.' And I said,
"Well what do you mean?' "Well, we
didn't know that you did all that stuff
for other people."
But the going was not always easy
for Thornton, a native of Franklin.
She left an abusive first marriage with
three children to support. "'After I got
out of my first marriage, I had to rely
on community service for food, cloth-
ing, and furniture," recalls Thornton
I called for a bed for my daughter
and had one within a few days. That
left a great impression on me and I
decided if I ever got into a better situ-
ation where 1 could help, that I would
help."
Thornton found education as a way
out. first she received a GED and
then went to Nursing Assistants
School at Oil City Vo-Tech She
worked at the Venango Manor, now
the Sugar Creek Station Nursing
Home, before taking a job at the
Franklin Hospital. Laid off as a nurs-
ing assistant due to cutbacks at the
hospital, she accepted the position as
supervisor of custodians for the hospi-
tal's evening shift.
She moved to Clarion 1 2 years ago
after her second husband and began
working for Clarion University's
Public Safety Department.
Thornton points to her father, Fred
Stevens, for showing her how to help
other people. "I recall a woman com-
ing to our house one summer," said
Thornton. "She was from New York
City, lost and alone. My father and
mother provided her with food and
got her back on a bus to New York
City. I was amazed that a total
stranger would come to our door for
help. My parents taught me that you
should help those in need, because
you never know when you might be in
need too."
SAFE is one of Thornton's favorite
projects. "1 am an advocate for the
abused and battered," says Thornton
"If SAFE was around 25 years ago. I
probably would have gotten out of my
situation faster. Women and children
need to have a place to go where they
can feel safe and secure."
Thornton encourages others to help
others. "I always find time at the end
of the day or an evening to volunteer,"
she says. "You don't need money to
help, because that is not necessarily
what they need. When I work with
the elderly, they make me smile
They always want to know if I'm
coming back and make me feel need-
ed."
She gives a lot of credit to her hus-
band. "'Without his support and
understanding I wouldn't be involved
in I am doing now," she says. "He
encourages me in everything I do."
And what Thornton does is help
other people.
"I think it's the point of knowing
that I'm helping somebody else. It's
nice to be able to walk into some
place and when you walk back out,
you know you've made a difference in
that person's life," she explained.

of the day or an evening to volunteer,"
she says. "You don't need money to
help, because that is not necessarily
what they need. When I work with
the elderly, they make me smile
They always want to know if I'm
coming back and make me feel need-
ed."
She gives a lot of credit to her hus-
band. "Without his support and
understanding I wouldn't be involved
in I am doing now," she says. "He
encourages me in everything I do."
And what Thornton does is help
other people.
"I think it's the point of knowing
that I'm helping somebody else. It's
nice to be able to walk into some
place and when you walk back out,
you know you've made a difference in
that person's life," she explained.

Theatre Review
'Dancing at Lughnasa' pulls at Clarions' heart strings
by Jeff Chaffee
b Clarion Call Staff Writer
The final play in the 1998-99
CUP Theatre "Season by
Request" is running the rest of
this week at 8 PM in the
Little Theater.
Brian Friel's 'Dancing at
Lughnasa' is an Irish drama
about five spinster sisters liv-
ing a spartan life in the hills
of 1939 Ireland. Told as a
flashback by Chistina's ille-
gitimate son Michael, the
story is one of the somewhat
dysfunctional and definitely
tense relationship between the
sisters. Constantly at odds on
their opposite views of life,
Kate and Rose supply most of
the fireworks, especially on
the topic of Rose's secret
meeting with one of the town
gentlemen. Maggie added a
sense of lightheartedness with
her neverending search for
fun and love. Agnes and Rose
were the ones who kept the
house going, with a neverend-
ing set of chores and with a
home glove-knitting business.
Featured in the play are sev-
eral of Clarion's theatre main-
stays, including Kristie Belles
(Maggie), Seana Simon
(Agnes), Holli Hamilton
(Rose), and Jarrod Fry (Father
Jack); 'Dancing's' cast is
filled out by Alexander
Thompson, Becky
Weinheimer, Robert
Zinsmeister, and making her
(speaking) debut, Miranda
Scopel.
The whole show was visual-

ly stunning, due to the con-
stantly amazing scenic work
of Ed Powers. It was as
though you could smell the
soda bread baking in the
kitchen. The show would not
have felt truly Irish, without
the step dancing sequence,
choreographed by Linda Rose.
Once again, CUP theatre
proved its professionalism in
this fabulous production. I
had some worries going in
that the Irish and Welsh
accents might fade in and out
throughout the show; I was
rather impressed when the
cast proved me wrong! The
step dancing I mentioned
before was done flawlessly.
This technique is often diffi-
cult to master, but the fine
ladies of 'Dancing' made it
look easy.
Ms. Scopel's uppity, self-
righteous, ultra Catholic Kate
was dead-on. She was able to
master the mannerisms of the
tightly wound sister. I'd be
willing to say that Ms. Scopel
is one of Clarion's most
promising dramatic actress-
es. ..I'd keep an eye one her.
Mr. Fry's Father Jack
offered the play's one semi-
comic relief, with his tales of
tribal life on mission in Africa
and slight mental illness. Just
as things seemed to be at a
breaking point, Jack would
make an appearance and
relieve the situation, as he
recieved all the sisters'
attention and cooperation.
My only problems with the
show were hardly the fault of
the cast or crew. In places,
the script seemed a little
ambiguous on exactly what
led to certain events. Case in
point: the strained-at-best
reaction of Agnes to Gerry's

initial visit; the scene
seeemed to suggest that they
may have had some history
together. Was this the case?
In addition, just what hap-
pened on Rose's secret ren-
dezvous? Was her silence on
the issue simply a woman's
secrecy on her love life or was
something more sinister at the
heart of it?
Overall, though, the show
was fabulous and I would rec-
ommend it to anyone.
Cangratulations to the CUP

Community Service takes the PLUNGE
courtesy of the Community
Service-Learning
On Saturday, April 17, over 170
volunteers devoted their time,
energy and selves to the greater
Clarion area community by partic-
ipating in the Spring "Into the
Streets" PLUNGE. The
"PLUNGE" is a one-day volunteer
experience tor the university com-
munity to become acquainted with
community service. "It's an
opportunity to get one's feet wet
with an agency. Our hope is that
the volunteer will enjoy their
experience and be inspired to con-
tinue to serve their respective
PLUNGE site or another agency
long-term." states Diana
Anderson, Director of Community
Service-Learning.
Students, faculty, staff, admin-
istrators and their families and
friends from Clarion and Venango
campuses signed up for one of 20
service sites before the Spring
break. On PLUNGE day, they met
each other at their respective ser-
vice site or in Gemmell Student
Center. Clarion students serving
as team leaders led ice breakers,
name games and/or team building
activities prior to beginning their
service.
Randall Shaffer departed with
his team at 7:30 a.,, traveling to A-
C Valley Elementary School to
sort and set-up for the A-C V Frist
Program Clothing Fair. He stated
"For the past two semesters I've
been a part of AFW. I have done
tons of service. The PLUNGE
helps others who are not part of a
service organization to give some-
thing back to our community."

working at WCUC, TV5 and with
the UAB, was great experience.
Val Porter, Music Director and
part-time jock came to Clarion to
be a disc jockey. "Use the radio
station, use everything you can,
take all the classes you can," was
Val's advice to the students.
Mike Steele, however that's not
how his professors remember him
since the name change, is a full-
time jock, came to Clarion as a
transfer, because of the two radio
stations CUP had to offer.
All three Communication alum-
ni remembered their favorite pro-
fessor, Dr. Allan Larson. "The
man knows everything, listen to
him." All three had remembered
that Communication Law was the
toughest class ever taken, but
because of Larson they learned so
much.
"Clarion graduates have great
chances to get jobs after college,"
was the statement that gave a sigh
of relief throughout the audience.
They told how no matter where
they go they seem to always run
into somebody that graduated
from Clarion.

painting was a new undertaking
for team leader Sue Stypula and
her painting crew at Community

Agencies such as the Clarion

of the PLUNGE to train volunteers

Do not pass up the chance to see 'GO'

You know the 'Monopoly' card

Go... Do not collect two hundred

to you about this movie, do not
pass up 'GO.' It is a movie that
once you enter the theatre, grabs
you, spins you, twists you around
and refuses to let go until the cred-
its finally roll.
First off I'd like to say that it
passed the Mr. Cody bathroom
test. You see, every movie that I
have seen with him so far, he has
shall we say felt the urge to go in
the middle of the movie.
Never before have I screamed
and jumped so much at a non-hor-
ror flick. The script really could
have gone further, but I am kind of
glad it didn't. At every turn of the
movie, I thought I knew what was
going to happen.. .but then it did-
n't. So kudos, to the writers for
that bit of ingenuity, they kept me

on my toes.
The plot revolves around a
group of generation-X kids and
their adventures on Christmas
Eve. The story is told in three seg-
ments, each starting from the
same beginning scene. First from
Ronna's (Sarah Polley) perspec-
tive, then Simon's (Desmond
Askew) adventure in Las Vegas,
and finally Adam (Scott Wolf) and
Zack's (Jay Mohr) whole story is
revealed. The main elements all
involve a drug deal/bust gone hor-
ribly wrong. Ronna and Claire
(Katie Holmes) pass off cold med-
icine as ecstasy at a rave. Simon
and Marcus (Taye Diggs) have an
interesting array of escapades in
Las Vegas involving a stolen car,
sex with two people and the
bouncer from a strip club that is
out to get them. Adam and Zack
are two TV stars who are caught
up in the same drug deal/bust gone
bad as Ronna and a really weird
Christmas dinner with one titillat-
ing sequence in particular that had
me on the edge of my seat.
It was an ensemble cast piece in
which most of the players moved
smoothly and flawlessly through-
out the film. William Fichtner
(last seen in 'Armageddon') and
Jane Krakowski ('Ally McBeal')
performed their roles excellently
stealing all the scenes they were
in. Their blend of charisma and
comic relief just poured off the
screen. It was one of those
moments in a movie where you
listen a little harder, so as not to
miss a single solitary word. Sarah
Polley has certainly come along
way since 'Avonlea,' the serial
based on L.M. Montgomery's
book 'Anne of Green Gables' that
He Said...
she starred in on the Disney
Channel. I was a little disappoint-
ed in Katie Holmes' performance.
Maybe I was expecting more, as a
regular 'Dawson's Creek' watcher
I know the kind of emotion that
Holmes portrays as Joey week
after week. Is acting in movies
that much different from TV?
Granted her part was not very
large, which made me wonder
why she got top billing in the first
place. Holmes just seemed like a
limp noodle, slogging her way
through her lines with no feeling
or emotion whatsoever. Katie,
honey you have given such good
performances that they have made
me cry on 'Dawson's Creek.'
What gives?
In my opinion 'GO' has three
breakout stars that I hope to see
much more of in the future.
Timothy Olyphant as Todd
Gaines, a whacked out drug deal-
er that somehow goes from sleazy
and disgusting to charming and
sexy at the end of the film.
Olyphant's character is one that
you should hate, but somehow just
can't quite resist rooting for in the
end. Taye Diggs as Marcus, (last
seen baring his butt and starring
with Angela Bassett in 'How
Stella Got Her Groove Back') and

Clarion Call Staff Writer
Director Doug Liman, whose
debut film 'Swingers' established
him as one of Hollywood's hottest
young talents, decided to take a
different approach to his second
project, the action-comedy 'GO.'
While 'Swingers was a laid-back
comedy about a man desperately
trying to get over his ex-girlfriend,
'GO' features three intertwined
tales about a typical evening gone
horribly wrong, all of which are
laced with hard-edged violence,
drug use, sex and profanity. 'Go'
isn't the sort of film that would top
Pat Robertson's must-see list. It
is, however, one of the most capti-
vatingly fun movies I've seen so
far this year.
Because of all the twists and
turns the film takes, it's hard to
describe 'GO' without giving
away integral parts of the plot, so
I apologize in advance for any
"spoilers" this review may
include. The film begins with
Ronna (Sarah Polley), a grocery
store cashier who's deeply in debt
to her landlord and one day away
from being evicted, trying to
endure another afternoon of her
customers stupidity. While at
work, Ronna is approached by
Adam (Jay Mohr) and Zack (Scott
Wolf), two young partiers looking
to score 20 tabs of Ecstasy for a
party they're throwing that
evening. Since Ronna's friend
Simon (Desmond Askew), a casu-
al drug user with connections to a
local dealer, left to party at Las
Vegas for the weekend, Ronna
takes it upon herself to buy the
drugs, give them to Adam and
Zack, and make $280 in rent
money in the process.
But that's only the beginning of
Ronna's problems. Through a
bizarre turn of events, she ends up
losing the Ecstasty and nearly get-
ting busted by a group of under-
cover cops. At the same time,
Ronna's friend Simon is experi-
encing a hellishly bad weekend in
Las Vegas, narrowly escaping
death several times as he and his
buddies run from an angry strip
club owner whose son was shot in
the arm by Simon. Sound confus-
ing yet? Throw in some fast cars,
a few instances of attempted mur-
der, and the prescence of Katie
Holmes as Ronna's best friend
and you've got the makings of one
of the most twisted, yet entertain-
ing films I've seen in quite some
time.
Some have compared the non-
linear style used in 'GO' to the
storytelling techniques used by
Quentin Tarantino in 'Pulp
Fiction.' Actually, 'GO' has more
in common with Tarantino' s fol-
low-up, 'Jackie Brown.' Like
'Jackie Brown,' which showed a
pivotal scene from three different
points of view, 'GO' follows three
sets of characters as they undergo
the same torturous 24 hour period,
with each group stumbling upon a
series of violent misadventures
and ultimately crossing paths near
the end of the tale.
Although Dawson's Creek star
Katie Holmes, Hollywood's
newest $12 million girl, has
recieved most of the press sur-
rounding 'GO,' she has signifi-

Timothy Olyphant, I won't bore

For the guys this movie has a lot
of breasts, so if nothing else
they should enjoy the strip club
and menage a trois sequences.
Maybe that's why Mr. Cody
liked it so much, he couldn't
bear to part with the breasts on
the screen to take time to relieve
himself.
This is a flick definitely worth
checking out, but I wouldn't
advise it if you are over 30. It is
definitely not your run-of-the-
mill teen movie or "candy coat-
ed drivel" as Mr. Cody likes to
call it. But at the same time it is
not something that you would
want to watch with your parents
or grandparents, unless they are
extremely cool and hip like
mine. Well, sometimes they are
extremely cool and hip.

or may not be hitting on Adam
and Zack, and Timothy Olyphant
as the cold-hearted drug dealer
who provides one of the main
links between all three stories.
Nathan Bexton is hilarious as
Mannie, Ronna's friend who
decides to sample a few Ecstasy
pills and winds up experiencing a
variety of hallucinations including
a run in with a mind reading cat.
So before finals week arrives
and half of the campus locks
themselves inside their rooms and
refuses to come out for any reason
other than for classes, meals, or
partying. Head out to your local
theater and check out 'GO ' In her
review, Ms. Palmamade reference
to the fact that 'GO' passed the
notorious Cody bathroom test
with flying colors. Well, let's just
say that if you've ever had to
spend two hours in a theater sit-
ting next to Ms. Palma, who
brays, cackles, and sprays melted
Goobers all over the seal in front
of her while loudly extolling the
virtues of Ben Affleck's "tight lit-
tle can", you'd take every avail-
able opportunity to "go" as well.

You tell us, what is...
The following is an opinion poll that will allow us, The Clarion Call, to make an assessment of what you, our readers, like about Clarion. This poll is
meant for run, so if you like to have fun, you probably want to participate. Please fill in your answer as to who/what is the best in the following categories.
We will publish the winners in the May 6, 1999 issue. So, now as we bring the Spring 1999 Semester to a close - let us know, what is the best of Clarion?
Best Campus Office
Night Life
students.., Is this a fantasy I'm describing? Hell no! There is at least one office on
campus where the people are nice, you find it and we'll honor them.
When you walk in, people actually smile at you. .when you ask a question, they either
' , , ,,, u - u i know the answer or will find it for you. ..it always has little token cookies or treats for
No matter how many times you hear it, this tune won't let you down. Which song rules
the late night scene?
Best Bar
There aren't that many to choose from, and it usually depends what night it is, but over-
all, where do you go when you get thirsty?
Best Bartender
While you're in the bar, who has that smiling face and sympathetic ear that puts Woody
Boyd to shame?
Male Female
Best Place to Hook-up
By using the term hook-up, we do not necessarily mean sex. We just want to know
where you think the best place to meet the opposite sex is?
Best Date Spot
After you find that special someone, where do you go on date night?.
Food and Beverage
Best Beer
We can't pass up the opportunity to ask this. Just for the record, The Clarion Call does
not support, nor condone the drinking of alcoholic beverages by anyone under 21 years
of age
Best Shot
Same rationale as above.
Best Pizza
Hey, who makes the best-a pizz-a pie-a... Okay, enough with the hokey Italian accent (it
just isn't the same in print anyway), who makes the best pizza?
Best Secretary
Okay, we all know that this is where the real power is, so let's give credit, where credit is
due.
Best Administrator
Here's to the paper pushers that make the system work. Give them some credit and name
the best.
Best Class
No, we don't have basket weaving 101, the field is wide open. What class is the best?
Best Advisor
This is a system that is ridiculed a lot, but there are professors who go the extra mile and
give great advice..
Best Residence Hall
Where do your loyalties lie?
Best Computer Lab
Where do you go when that 20 page paper needs to be typed?
Sports & Leisure
Best Spring Break
Where do you in the middle of winter to find a tan, cheap drinks, and the opposite sex?
Best Wings
The greasier the better, this is one food that no health fanatic could ever endorse, that's
Why we like them so much
Best Burger
It's an all meat (well most of the time) creation that can lead to pure ecstasy when done
correctly, so, you tell us, who does it best?
Best Restaurant
Who has the best food, service, and ambiance?
Best Fast Food
When fast and greasy is what you want, who do you drive thru ?
Best Sub
Roast Beef... Italian... Turkey... it doesn't matter, which place makes the best?
Best Coffee
It's the vogue thing to do, so, all you trendy, avant garde, hip, and happening coffee
drinkers, let us know what you like?
Best Mixed Drink
When you're feeling tangy, fruity, and crazy, what do you order?
Best Place to Watch the Game
Where do you go for companionship and sports?.
Best Night to Watch TV
Best Hot Dogs
Clarion dogs are something everyone argues about, so, in the moment of truth, who does Campus
When the viewing is good, the good stay home. What is your favorite night to pop the
corn and veg in front of the TV?
Best Radio Show
The radio has been rocking all semester, which show is your favorite?
Best Campus Event
When it comes time to breakout those valid student Ids what is the occasion?
Best Video Rental Place
Who has the cheapest rates, and the best deals?.
Best Club DJ
Who rocks out on the weekend?
Best Coach
Who is the next Gipper?
Professional
it best?
Campus
Best Professor
Who is mind-shaping, life-changing, soul-inspiring? We know that it will be hard to
choose just one from many, but make your choice and honor the best?
Male Female
Best Major
Okay, so everyone is going to vote for their own. That's the point! Which major can
rally the troops and get the coveted title of best major?
Best Athlete
Who can run the ball faster, throw the ball longer, hit the hoop/goal more often, or as
Nike says, 'Just Do It?'
Campus
Professional
♦There you go, all the categories you could ask for and then some. Please
print legibly and do not indicate your name anywhere on the ballot.
Please submit all ballots to The Call at room 270 Gemmell Student Center. All entries received on or before Tuesday May 4th at noon will be included in the results.

The three honorees led the
Golden Eagles to a 19-8 overall
record and 7-5 PSAC-West mark.
They helped Clarion reach the
PSAC playoffs for the third con-
secutive season.
"Lormont exceeded our expec-
tations we had for him coming
into this season," pointed out head
coach Dr. Ron Righter. "He
showed marked improvement
from last season, played with a lot
of confidence and really helped
our team with a lot of games this
year."
The improvement by Sharp, a 6-
3 senior guard from Philadelphia,
is shown by leading the PSAC and
Clarion in scoring at 22.0 points
per contest up from 13.1 ppg in
1997-1998. He fired in 594 points
in the team's 27 games which is
seventh highest in school history
for a single season. Lormont fin-
ished his time at Clarion with 947
tallies in two seasons to go with
219 rebounds, 102 steals and 97
assists. He was deadly from the
outside hitting 91 three-pointers at
a 44.6% rate which ranked fourth
in the PSAC. Sharp improved his
rebounding as well from 3.9 per
game to 4.2 this season along with

against Central Washington
marked his career high while he
hit for 20-plus points 18 times this
campaign. Lormont is also a
Clarion "Scholar Athlete" off the

Communications.
Bursting upon the scene for the
1998-199 season was David
Shearer, a 6-4 freshmen forward
from Greensburg, to gain PSAC-
West "Rookie of the Year" distinc-
tion. Shearer was named PSAC-
West "Rookie of the Week" five
times this past season while
pounding in 9.6 points and 6.2

This week
Clarion falls short to
Lojaks in season finale
by Bill Friedline
Contributing Writer
Why do you feel the Indianapolis Colts selected Edgerrin James
over Ricky Williams?
T.S. Miller-Because Williams agent is Master P!
Bill Russo- I think they felt Ricky Williams was run to death in college and
because of that, they were looking for more of a long term player.
! Damon Mclntyre-The Colts felt James has more longevity as a back. He has
superior pass catching abilities out of the backfield to better compliment
Payton Manning.
Ryan Meddock-I do not know, but the Philly fans are PO'ed about Ricky
Williams.
Wookie--The Colts do not have helmets big enough to fit Williams' dreads.

The Clarion Ice Hockey team
completed its first season with an
unsuccessful loss. The team lost a
hard fought battle 5-4 to close out
their first season.
Lojak pulled out to a 3-0 lead
until Clarion retaliated with two
goals of their own. Their retalia-
tion was unsuccessful as the
Lojaks banged home their fourth
goal to make the score 4-2.
Clarion added two more goals in
the third period, but that wasn't
enough. Next year is already
looking hopeful, with students
wanting to play that did not play
this year and many starters are
returning.
Even though the organization Is
still looking to be recognized as a
club, there has already been an
interest with community busi-
nesses sponsoring the team. By
the end of the season those same
men that took the ice not long ago
for the first time together began
to meld as a team.
Drew McWilliams led the team
in scoring this year with 20
points. A thank you goes out to all

Camping tips for the spring j^qq f a keS a
horseback
by Jeff Say
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor
As the weather breaks this
spring, most avid campers can't
wait to hit the trails, pitch their
tents and sleep underneath the
stars.
The weather in the
daytime can be deciev-
ing though because as
soon as night falls in
the forest so does the
temperature, especially
during this time of year.
If you aren't prepared
for this it won't be an
enjoyable experience.
The Boy Scout motto
"Always be prepared"
comes to mind every-
time I go camping and
should for everybody.
Here are a few tips to
keep your camping trip fun and
safe.
Always bring more than you
need. You never know when that
extra blanket or extra pair of socks
are going to come in handy. This
will cause a camper to have to
haul more to their camp site but in
the long run, when it's freezing
out during the night that extra
blanket will be appreciated.
Make sure to bring matches or a
lighter. This may seem insignifi-
cant, but when it's getting dark
and cold and a campf ire is built its
embarrising and inconvienent if
you have nothing to start a fire
with.
When you're cooking food be
sure to let it burn, just so you can
make sure it is done. A lot of peo-
ple will disagree with this tech-
nique but it is much better to eat a
burnt ham-
burger than
to eat a raw
one.
If a camper
isn't the true
outdoors
person, they
might want
to check the
weather in
case of cold
tempera-
tures or rain
or snow.
Once the
weather
breaks and our Clarion weather
warms up once again I'd recom-
mend to take as many balnkets
and warm clothes as possible and
hold off camping underneath the
adventure
by MikeBurke
Clarion Call
Contributing Writer
This past weekend, mem-
bers of the Recreational
Outdoors Club traveled two
hours east of Clarion to the
"Lazy B Ranch" near
Milesburg, Pa. WAe went
for an exciting weekend of
horseback riding and fun in
the sun. All of us were at
different skill levels of rid-
ing, but all had a great time
and experience.
Once on the trail, deer
were a prevalent sight to be
seen. Much to out amaz-
ment, they were not star-
tled by our presence. We
even got as close as ten
feet away before they
began to spook. As the trip
came to an end, the usual
horseback riding phrase,
"My butt is sore," was
heard, but all-in-all, it was
a great time with perfect
weather. This was one
more trip to put into the
ROC memory book. How
could we ask for anything
better?
Trout season sends PA into a frenzy

Clarion Call Staff Writer
Springtime is a busy
time of year in

what, one might ask. Road

of this region as of yet,
you should make a point to
do so. Tremendous trout
fishing is a stone's throw
away from Clarion.
From my experience
fishing so far in this
region, adequate fishing
can be found just east of
Strattanville at Mill Creek,
Cook Forest State Park has
a stocked stream called
Toms Run. If you're feel-
ing adventurous, you can
venture just east of Cook
Forest to Clear Creek
which is in Clear Creek
State Park. As a matter of
fact, the Clarion River
also stocks trout, but not
in Clarion; you have to go
north to Heath Station on
the river to find good trout
fishing. Now when are
these streams stocked by
the Fish Commission?
Don't worry, I went to the
trouble for you already.

"It was a big step in the right
direction," said Coach Pat
Mooney about the track and
field's performance at
Baldwin Wallace last
Saturday. "There were a lot of
personal records and few more
school records broken,"
Mooney added.
Maureen Long and Roxanne
Wilson were the record takers.
In the 800 M, Long ran 2:16,
over a second faster than the
previous record held by
Debbie Brostmeyer in 1996.
Wilson shattered Julie Parry's
nine year old record in the
5,000 M. Parry ran 18:33,
whereas Wilson completed the
race in 18:14. Pole Vaulter
Lisa Hamrick tied her highest
vault at 9'6".
Several of Clarion's men
had their best performances.
For the distance events, Jon
Fox had a personal record in
the 10,000 M, and Mark
Tryzna was seconds from
qualifying in the 5,000 M,
Colin McGlone and Jason
Bochert both ran their fastest
in the 3,000 M Steeplechase.
In the 400 M, Steamer Marin
comprised the remainder of
the personal records on the
track for the men. John
Dellich just missed the school
record in the Intermediate
Hurdles.
On the women's side, per-
sonal records were also set.
Daria Diaz and Kristie Runic
worked together in the
women's 10,000 M to finish
third and fourth respectively
Tori Watt ran her fastest in the
100 M. Erica Johnson (400
M), Wendy Kengor (800 M)
and Andrea Borek (5,000) also
had their best showings for the
season.
Place wise, the Clarion team
made their presence known.
Melissa Yearous (High Jump)
took fourth, Heidi Shellgren
(Javelin, Shotput) finished
13th, and Ed Jablonski (Triple
Jump) placed seventh. Also,
Freshman Kristy Shoemaker

career NASCAR victory
by John Spinda
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The "Man in Black" is back.
Dale Earnhardt captured his 72nd
career NASCAR Winston Cup
Series victory in Sunday's Die
Hard 500 at Talladega, Alabama,
which is NASCAR's biggest,
fastest, and most dangerous track.
The "Intimidator" conquered the
2.66-mile oval with an average
speed of 163.395 MPH. It is
Earnhardt's first victory since the
1998 Daytona 500.
"Richard Childress and these
GM Goodwrench guys and all the
crew, they needed this win. It's a
good day for us. I just wish it was
a Winston Million race and I was
eligible," Earnhardt said.
Not everyone had such a great
time at Talladega Speedway.
Defending two-time series cham-
pion Jeff Gordon's hopes for a
"three-peat" took a serious blow
Sunday. He was tangled up in a
world-class disaster of a wreck,
which is the expected and the
norm at Talladega. The wreck
occurred on lap 49 when rookie of
the year contender Tony Steward
tried to pass veteran Mike Skinner
in a bold move. The result was
Skinner getting bumped and
going up the racetrack towards the
wall. The chain reaction took out
many prominent series points
contenders, including Rusty
Wallace, Jeff Gordon, and Skinner
as well.
"I like coming here, I like rac-
ing, I just don't like crashing
here," said Gordon, who fell to
5th in the standings. "We're hav-
ing one of those years that every-
body has been waiting for." The
setback put Gordon 210 points
behind Winston Cup points leader
Jeff Burton who finished 11th.
However, Burton's lead was cut to
40 points over Dale Jarrett, who
came home second at Talladega
by a scant margin of 0.137 sec-
onds. Perennial contender and
Rouch Racing teammate of Jeff
Burton, Mark Martin, finished
third and is third in points and is
also just 84 points behind.
The Intimidator is champing at
the bit already for next week's
race, the California 500, from the
2-mile superspeedway at Fontana,
California.
"We've got a brand new car for
California and if it doesn't go fast,
it'll be my fault because the car is
really fast," said Earnhardt after
the race.
Next week's race will be cov-
ered by ABC (WTAE-Channel 4)

The 1999 baseball season has
been a rough road for the Clarion
Golden Eagles. After starling the
season with a 5-4 mark, the
Eagles took one victory in four-
teen games. The season has also
been plagued by rainouts. This
last week, however, things have
looked up for the young team.
On Saturday, April 24, the
Eagles hosted a doubleheader
against Lock Haven. Travis
Jordan earned the win in the first
game. Jordan gave up two hits,
pitching a complete game. LHU
made its only threat early in the
first inning. After that, Jordan
shut them down. Clarion won the
first game 1-0, the lone score
coming in the second with an RBI
single by Tony Babusci.
The second game that day took
the same pattern, with .hired Nash
nursing a 1-0 lead into the sixth
inning. Clarion made two errors,
and LHU brought in seven runs to
claim the win. Casch Rich
Herman noted the doubleheader
as a big step in the building
process of his young club, "We
played thirteen good innings out
of fourteen."
Sunday, Clarion made up a dou-
bleheader against Slippery Rock
lost to weather. Slippery Rock
started the day ranked #11 in
NCAA Div. II. Clarion assumed
an early 1-0 lead, and pitcher
Dave Graham held tight, sitting
down six, taking a 4-1 score into
the seventh. Herman said,
last out... A base hit could' ve put
us back in the game. What hurt
the Golden eagles most was leav-
ing 13 runners on base. Jeff
Spoljaric absorbed the loss.
On Monday, Clarion caught its
first non-conference game since
the Florida trip. Making-up a
doubleheader against LaRoche,
the teams decided to play a single
9-inning game. Because of PS AC
rules, it was the first game Clarion
has played with aluminum bats.
The benefits of aluminum were
seen in the stats: 14 earned runs
and 21 hits. The 14-2 was the
biggest this year for Clarion.
However, it was the team's most
complete game this season. On
top of the hitting, Clarion saw
another stong performance from
Chris Drazinger, who pitched 7
1/3 innings, striking out ten. Nate
Baumgartner came in for the final
1 2/3 innings, and notched four
K's. The team also let loose the
running game, stealing seven
bases.
The week was a success for
Clarion's effort to build a young
team. Travis Jordan was voted
the PS AC West pitcher of the
week for his effort against Lock
Haven, Coach Herman said.
"When you give yourself an
opportunity to win. it has to breed
confidence... Winds don't have to
be convincing. You got to play
well." The Golden Eagles now
stand at 8-20 (2-16 PS AC West).
Clarion will be unable to make
up the remainder of its games lost
to weather. Other scheduled team
have entered into academic finals

Carl Seeker, a representative of

Matt Zock, both students here at
Clarion, competed in a powerlift-

At the competition, Watts best

Hopefully by next year we can get
everything going with an actual

Right now, thirty people are inter-
ested in the powerlifting club in
which six are women.
By next semester, Watts hopes to
have the club in action with Dave

his best bench was at 350, and his

competing, Watts is now trying to
promote the sport to the students
of Clarion University. "We are
trying to promote the sport and to
whether they want to compete or
not," Watts added.
Right now, Watts is looking into
getting vans to travel in to com-
peutons, having dues of $100, and
possibly getting an hour a day for
the organization to lift as a group
either in Tippin or in the new

$15 million project
design for Carlson
by Susan Ferchack
Clarion Call Staff Writer
••••••••••••••••••••••«
Clarion University will once
again be undergoing renovations.
A $14.67 million expansion and
renovation project of Carlson
Library is now in the preliminary
design phase after submitting
schematic designs.
The project will involve reno-
vating the current library area and
the demolition of the classroom
wing. The demolition will make
way for a 28,000 square foot addi-
tion die library which will house
the current library and staff, the
faculty from the department of
library science, and an art gallery.
The English department, which is
currently housed in the classroom
wing, will move to Davis Hall.
The projected move is to occur
over Christmas break.
Clare Heidler, director of facili-
ties planning, expects the pre-final
design to be approval in July and
the final design to be approved by
September. "Then, if all has gone
well with the design process, we
can probably seek bids during the
fall," says Heidler. It is projected
that bids will be received in late
December and early January.
Construction will begin around 70
days after the bids have been
accepted and will continue for 2
years. "There are many hurdles to
be overcome before construction
can start," Heidler added.
Many students and faculty mem-
bers have voiced their concerns
over the planning and the inconve-
nience it holds over those
involved. Students and faculty
members are sill unsure where the
classes will be held once the

president reinstates baseball team
by Lori Matachak
Clarion CaH Sports Editor
In the past week, rumors were
flying all over Clarion's campus
and community about whether or
not Clarion University's Baseball
team would exist next season.
After Tuesdays meeting with
President Reinhard, Athletic
Director, Bob Carlson, Rich
Herman and the baseball team, the
team got re-instated after being told
last Wednesday that there may not
be a baseball program next season.
The situation started on
Wednesday, May 28, when Rich
Herman, Head Coach of the base-
ball team, announced his stepping
down as Head Coach. Stepping
down from the position was both
difficult and easy for Herman. It
was difficult for him because of his
love and passion for the game and
because of the love he had for the
players in the program. But it was
easy for Herman, also, because his
wife has taken ill and he knew that
taking care of her and spending
more time at home was the right
thing to do.
As the meeting progressed
Wednesday, Bob Carlson addressed
to the team saying that Clarion
University was $2 million in the
hole and some budget cuts were
needed to be made. After several
minutes of discussion, a player on
the team asked if there was going to
be a team next year and Carlson
confirmed the possibility.

The positives and negatives
of a tumultuous year
At the beginning of the semester, the Call looked at
the positives and negatives that had occurred during the
first semester. Now, as we reflect upon the entire year,
we will review what has or hasn't changed and how stu-
dents react to the changes and controversy.
+ The renovations to the rec center are well ahead of
schedule. Kudos to the constructions workers for the
quick development.
+ Founders Hall is finally Finished after many years of

+ The renovations to the Health Center were very
much needed and they have improved the atmosphere of
the health center.
+Destinta Theaters adds to the Clarion Community. We
finally have quality entertainment for the students, and
something new to do.
- The baseball team controversy caused the administra-
tion to threaten the termination of the team. How could
they even consider getting rid of America's favorite pas-
time?
- Gemmell Snack Bar. Prices remain high and the ser-
vice and food is not to our satisfaction. And we still don't
know why we can't get a flex plan alone. Enough said.
- Increasing the parking passes? Wasn't room and
board enough? That's why students are moving off cam-
pus.
- The controversy over the "Royal Rumble" caused an
unecessary ruckus and state of confusion on campus.
From now on, maybe everyone can think a little bit more
about what they write.
- Clarion's almost non-existent summer program forces
students away from campus and into the hands of other
institutions.
- The state budget shortfall eliminates classes on cam-
pus and shoots our tuition higher each year.
Will Clarion University overcome the negatives in the
year to come? We hope to build on the positive aspects,
but as we approach the millenium, only time will tell.

tic — one last pensive moment
before the joyous rhetoric of

well, "in just Spring."
And out of decay are destruction

Editorial
"Graduation is not
and end it is merely
a pause,
»
Michael Chapaloney, Editor in Chief
I came to Clarion University
four years ago; today, four years
later I have learned many things.
Granted, I can't list them all. I
haven't even realized all of them
yet. But, I thought that I would
pass a few along.
One thought. You are a student,
and you always will be. For the
graduates, graduation is not an
end, it is merely a pause where we
take time to examine who we are
and who we want to be. One
asset that we have developed is to
be learners, to be thinkers, to be
explorers, and in doing this we
have become students. Don't
stop thinking after that last test or
paper. Most importanUy don't
stop listening.
Listening is the key to learning
and comprehension. Listen to
your professors. Even when they
are not talking about anything
related to class, they are probably
teaching you something.
Knowledge comes in many forms
and when you least expect it.
Trust me, this may sound like
hogwash, but 1 know that I have
stumbled over items that I didn't
even realize that I had learned.
Look at others while you listen
and when you speak. Let them
see your thoughts as you say them
and read their thoughts as they are
formed and spoken. Maybe we
were smarter than we thought
when we were young and said,
"Look me in the eyes and say
that..." Please give this one a try,
you will make others feel more
valuable.
Are you the same person that
you were when you came here. I
am sure that I am not. I am proud
of who I have become and of my
past. Your past is where you gain
the strength for the future. Our
failures give us motivation to
achieve, and our triumphs serve
as the stepping stones to higher
heights.
Step carefully, but assertively.
Slow and steady may work for
turtles, but today's society moves
quite fast. Timing is almost
everything; try to reach a balance
between planning and action.
Learn the difference between
assertive and aggressive.
Lockwood Philips, the president
of the National Newspaper
Association helped me clarify

Dear Editor,
Week after week, year alter year, I 've read letters
to the editor negatively bashing anything and every-
thing about this university. I would like to take time
to praise Clarion University of Pennsylvania for
opening the door to my future. For when it comes
time to shake President Reinhard's hand on May 15,
1999, 1 will be prepared to face the "real world."
In the fall of 1994, 1 had no idea what fate was in
my future. I went to community college and had no
idea what I wanted to do, lucky for me, my best
friend was a Clarion student. As I exited the off
ramp of I- 80, 1 approached the unknown territory of
a "real college," I say my life take an instant turn, I
found the path that I needed to take part in the jour-
ney of life.
In the spring of 1996, I was enrolled in this fine
institution, and I jumped right in! I am a
Communication major so I had to explore, experi-
ment, I needed to find what I wanted to do. I tried
TV, and TV5 helped me realize that TV was not it.
Off to WCUC, I found my love for radio. The first
show of its kind at the university owned station, I
could play the music that I loved and great experi-
ence at the profession that was my passion.
I'm not the greatest DJ and I don't claim to be, but
lucky for me, the classroom has prepared me even
further for the future. Classes taught by the "Great
Ones:" Dr. Sue Hilton, she's done it all. She's taught
me that my communication degree covers it all." I
can do anything. Mary Wilson, who was more than
an advisor, but a friend. Dr. Scott Kuehn, who
taught me that the art of web design was at my fin-
gertips and showed me that the one on one helped
stressed in the Clarion brochure is true. Last but
surely not least, the communication deity in my
eyes, Dr. Allan Larson. If I had any questions of
why I am a communication major, he answered it,
and gave me hope. He is the backbone to all com-
munication graduates, my sincere apologies to the
university if Larson ever retires. To all of you, I
thank you for sharing your vast knowledge with me,
you have handed me my future on a silver platter.
There are so many positive benefits this soon to be
alma mater has to offer. So much to take advantage
of that the parking situation is so minimal. I've seen
different colleges, however none so beautiful as
Clarion. What more can you ask for, an instituition
in the middle of a national forest where there is con-
stant beauty around us at all times. A campus beau-
tiful enough to learn, meet people, sit on a bench, use
facilities available for every need, and to say hello to
the university President when she is walking her
dog.
So to all who read this and think "What is this girl
talking about?" My advice is: take a stroll through
the university, explore, open your eyes and look
around. Think of the people that teach you and the
friends that make you smile. You've found Shangri
La, take advantage of it before it's too late.
I was born in Cleveland, lived the majority of my
life in Butler, but grew up and found my future in
Clarion. For that I am forever in debt to this Utopia
we've come to know as Clarion University of
Pennsylvania
Forever Grateful
Alyssa S. Grande
Editorial veteran with a happy note
Dear Clarion Call,
Hi, I'm Jon Hall. You may
remember me from such letters
to the Editor as "President
Reinhard's Alcohol Policy," and
"Parking Permits Isn't The Only
Injustice." However, this time
around, I have something good
to say about our university.
Recently, I was talking with a
friend and she pointed out to me
that I always have something to
complain about. It's true. ..when-
ever someone asks me how I am
doing, or how my day went, my
reply is usually how some part of
my day went wrong, or that I'm
pissed off about some policy
held by our higher education
system.
So I'm sitting in the Psychology
Student Lounge (I'm a Psych
major), enjoying all the food thai
the different students and profes-
sors have brought in for a
potluck. All of a sudden, I real-
ize that THIS is a great thing! I
don't think I've heard of any
other departments holding
potluck lunches for the students
AND the staff. Maybe it's just
me, but all of the professors and
staff in the Psychology
Deaprtment seem to really treat
the students like they are adults,
and are constantly conversing
with us during lunch-time. Not
only is everyone friendly, but
they are also helpful. ..I can't
think of how many times that
Diana (the Department
Secretary) has either helped me
with a problem, given me
advice, or even just let me sit
there in the office and talk with
her.
This goes for all of the profes-
sors as well. I can't think of any
time when they have been Jess
than courteous with me, or any
other student. These people
have taken time out of their day
to help me, whether it's planning
an internship, allowing me to
make up assignments from a lab
that I've missed, or even fiivinc
legal advice! Even if I were not
a Psychology major, I'd still
want to be around these people.
I guess that what I'm trying to
say is that this kind of working
environment is the kind I'd like
to be in when I start my profes-
sional career. My career proba-
bly will not be in education, but
the atmosphere is definitely one
that would be more than appro-
priate in any place of business.
I'd like to thank ALL of the
members (students, staff and
professors) of the Clarion
University Psychology
Department for being such great
people. When I graduate next
Spring, this department will be
one of the aspects of Clarion that
I will miss the most.
Sincerely,
Jon Hall

OPINION
CHAPALONEYI Editor in Chief takes a look back at his Clarion career and expresses his gratitude of those who touched his life. From Page 3.
what assertiveness is, he said, "Don't ask, demand a seat at the
table." Note that he said, "demand a seat," he didn't say to
push someone out of the one that they are sitting - that would
be aggressive, not assertive.
Greet those in passing with a smile. If only one out of a hun-
dred returns the smile, you still have been rewarded. There are
many different types of smiles. Ones that say' hello', others
say 'thank you' or sometimes 'I'm sorry'. Try to attach at least
one smile to every conversation.
Look at others while you listen and when you speak. Let
them see your thoughts as you say them and read their
thoughts as they are formed and spoken. Maybe we were
smarter than we thought when we were young and said, "Look
me in the eyes and say that..." Please give this one a try. You
will make others feel more valuable.
Be Objective. Try to weigh out situations and choose the
fairest option. No, this is not easy in many situations, espe-
cially when religion, sex, love or emotions are involved. Take
a few steps back from any major decision and look at it from
all sides. Look through the eyes of the opposition; they may
have a clearer view.
Don't fret. I am far from being a template for any of this wis-
dom. Pick and choose and tailor it to your needs.
Be thankful. As my friends know, this is my favorite soap-
box. How many people would sacrifice anything to have this
opportunity to improve themselves. Hundreds of students fall
short of being admitted to Clarion, whether it be financially or
academically. Sometimes we get caught up in the day-to-day
frustrations and forget just how fortunate we are. Hopefully,
we can shake off these frustrations and enjoy and be thankful
for what we do have. This is one lesson that I am still learn-
ing.
I do try to be thankful for what I do have. Most importandy
I try every day to be thankful for those people who make my
life more important.
1 7"et editors have done, I would like to use this forum to
accent some ui i. v
touched my life with your knowledge? neatf^, 1 <}fc.!]?y.l had
Dr. Reinhard, Dr. Curtis, Dr. Haberaecker, you have given
me the education and inspiration necessary to move to the next
level. I appreciate your trust in me both as a student leader and
as an editor. You helped me have the opportunity to actively
care about Clarion University. Dr. R, we will have to do lunch
when I come back for a visit. Dr. C, even though Stacy and
Nicole have left. I still think of you as Uncle George. Dr. H, I
will see you sing in the choir whether it is before or after grad-
uation; I promise.
To the members of The Clarion Call, I thank you for your
hard work and dedication. I wish you the best of luck in the
future, it is time to bid you all a heartfelt good-bye.
To my comrades in student government, especially Tammi;
you have done a great job. it has not been flawless, but that is
why we are here: to learn and improve.
Thank you to all who supported me for Homecoming. That
was one of my greatest experiences at CU. Here's a big parade
wave for all of you.
Mr. Wassink, as a green freshman you took me under your
wing. I attribute a lot of what I have accomplished to the
knowledge and advice you have given me. I will be forever
thankful.
Pat Bauer, I have enjoyed being one of the "kids." You have
helped me realize that life isn't always as complex as it seems.
We will always have the Loomis (the bathrooms).
Dr. Tu, even though I've only had two classes with you, each
day I see you, I'm impressed a little more. You are education
at its finest. More impressive is your respect and admiration
for others. We will miss you, but wont forget you. (I would
still love to choose a book).
Dr. Obotetukudo, thank you for reminding me that I had a
brain and that I could think and read, and therefore, do anything.
Alyssa, thank you for making your Baby, my roommate,
smile and be happy. I am lucky to have experienced a glimpse
of your beauty.
Trish, I have brought you my life in the state of confusion,
you have shaken it up and rolled it out in some semblance or
order. You make me feel intelligent and alive. Exceptional
and then some equals Trish. Keep those Irish eyes a smiling in
Australia.
MB, you have intrigued me since the first day that I met you.
At The Call you inspired me to make you proud. We will
always be friends and the "Chiefs" from central-PA.
always seen eye-to-eye, but I respect you more now than ever
before. Beware, Mary Catherine is on the loose!
To my other roommates: Mark and Jeff, although the dish-
es iiave been dirty, very dirty, and shower time management
has been less than par, I have been lucky to live with you both.
Good luck with your remaining time at Clarion and after you
leave.
Kelly, relax. Take a deep breath, watch what you eat, don't
cut your hair, and always get the best parking spot. There's
some advice; use it during the upcoming lulls in our conversa-
tions.
To everyone at the Loomis, especially, Ed, Missy, Jeff, Todd,
Rachel and the retro queen Bobbi, you guys keep the good
times rollin'. Missy, you are a sweetheart. Jeff, remember
who makes the best lasagna; Steve and I will remember our
favorite bouncer.
Shannon, let us know about Newfoundland. Steve and I
would love to go. Enjoy yourself wherever you land for grad
school. Now it's time for dad.
What are you at, Dr. Barlow? It is impossible for me to write
enough or say enough to thank you for everything that you
have done for me. Anyone who has encountered you for a day
or even an hour will have a story, quote or joke to take with
them. I haven't even realized how much you have taught me.
Please don't allow difficulties to be a harbinger on your dis-
bursement of knowledge.
Vickie & Becca, you ladies are fabulous, you are the stabil-
ity that gives me strength. Growing with you over the last
three years has been a pleasure and an honor. I can only hope
that someday you will see your internal beauty. You have been
like a cradle of caring for me during difficult times and have
led the fun, letting your hair down, for the wild and crazy days.
Trust me, we will not lose contact. As Steve said last week, it
is impossible to put into words my appreciation and admira-
tion for you; I can only offer a simple 'thank' you and a smile.
Steve, over the past three years you have been my greatest
educator. You have taught me more about who I am than any-
one except my parents. I don't know what I would have done
without you; especially when I returned last semester. I apol-
ogize for the time when the competition seemed like a fight to
the death. I will stay in touch, but you know that. You are truly
the brouicr th<>» I've never had.
There arc many others out tnev -
nretchen, Stacy H., Nicole D., Ms. Marim. Ms. m£9L} lK -
Hilton, Mr. Let tbuu, Mirk. Jud, Sandy. Colin, and Angela,
Path, and a special thanks to Leslie, knowing you has been
quite an experience.
Now that 1 have poured out my heart on paper and passed
along some advice, there is only one thing left to say. Good
bye Clarion, it has been fun!
Clarion Baseball team defends their reason for existence
Recently, the Clarion University
Baseball Team was faced with the
prospect of elimination as an inter-
collegiate sport. The reasons for
this were budget concerns and gen-
der-equity issues. The team's bud-
get was being reviewed to decide it
the team was financially beneficial
to the university. At the end of this
past season, Head Coach Rich
Herman resigned form the position
for personal reasons, and this
review was said to be university
policy. When seeking a new coach
for any program, these matters are
reviewed with the universities bet
interests in mind. As for a gender-
equity, Clarion has plans to add a
Women's soccer team to increase
female participation, the baseball
team fully supports equal oppertu-
nities and hopes that Clarion suc-
ceeds in it's goal. As for as Coach
Herman's resigning, the team
would just like to say that we sup-
port his decision and respect his
stepping down as our head coach.
The first news of the possible
elimination of our team was
announced last Wednesday after
our hearing of Coach Herman's res-
ignation. Athletic Director Bob
Carlson announced the possible ter-
mination of the baseball program.
Due to the severity of this news,
and the prospect of our season com-
ing to an end, the teams future was
certainly in doubt. For the next two
days, some team members began to
research material to develop a let-
ter. This letters purpose was to
request a meeting between
President Diane Reinhard and the
baseball team to discuss our future
here at Clarion.
Saturday evening was when we
realized that our team was in seri-
ous danger of being removed from
this campus. It also was the day of
our final game of the season. With
it being the end of the season,
Coach Herman's final game and the
prospect of the end of Clarion base-
ball, the emotions ran very high.
When we returned form I.U.P., we
had a team meeting to decide what
we were going to do. Our first
instinct, after our letter, was to orga-
nize and begin numerous petitions.
With the support of the greek
organizations, men and women's
sport teams, students, faculty and
staff, we were able to gather
approximately six-hundred signa-
tures to present to President
Reinhard on monday morning. But
at this time, the baseball team
would also like to thank Student
Senate, especially their President,
Leslie Suhr, who supported and
helped us through this entire ordeal.
On Monday morning, there was a
Presidential Executive Committee
meeting where we had found out
that the future of the baseball pro-
gram was to be discussed. We did-
n't want to take any chances, so
early that morning our team repre-
sentative took our letter and all
eighteen petitions to President
Reinhard's office. This act was
made in hopes to delay any discus-
sions that would occur that day.
Later we had found out that no for-
mal decision was made or even dis-
cussed. Also we have to thank all
who placed phone calls to President
Reinhard's office including con-
cerned parents and several state
representatives.
After our letter and petitions were
read, we were asked to wait for
word form the president for a meet-
ing. We received a call for a meet-
ing to take place Tuesday afternoon
at 4 p.m. During the meting we
were officially given word that our
team's future was secure. Our
efforts were not in vain and we will
be here in the fall. The goal now is
to find a suitable head coach to fill
Coach Herman's legacy. We thank
Coach for his spirit and his endless
love for the game of baseball.
"Thank you Coach, for your
devotion and all that you have done
for the team of 1999, and all of your
past teams," the Clarion Golden
Eagles Baseball Team.

Harvard professor to address 556 graduates
by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor
Harvard Professor Dr. William
Julius Wilson will receive an hon-
orary Doctor of Humane Letters
degree from Clarion University
during spring commencement cer-
emonies. Wilson will speak at
both the 10 a.m. ceremony and 2
p.m. ceremony on May 15.
Five hundred and fifty-six stu-
dents will receive diplomas, 431

University of Massachusetts at
Amherst. He later was appointed

Professor and director of the
University of Chicago's Center for
the Study of Urban Inequality. He
joined Harvard in 1996.
Wilson revitalized the field of
urban sociology by applying new
methods, interdisciplinary
research and by advancing the
understanding of economic,
social, cultural, and behavioral
forces that cause inner-city pover-
ty.
Wilson has received 27 honorary
degrees including honorary doc-
torates from Princeton, Columbia,
and the University of
Pennsylvania. In June 1996 he

Faculty Senate votes to eliminate two flags
by Angela Everly
Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor
The elimination of the Link flag
(L Flag) and Applications flag (A
Flag) was voted on by Faculty
Senate during their last meeting of
the year Monday.
The elimination of these flags
will take effect immediately and
the change will be retroactive.
Any students who have not yet
fulfilled these flags will no longer
have a need to.
Dr. William Barnes of the biolo-
gy department said, "It is prema-
ture to eliminate the Link Flag."
He felt there was only a short
amount of time that this has been
discussed and that it should be
decided by a larger amount of
people.
"We want ideas to continue and
don't feel that the Link flag is the
way of doing it," said Dr. Steve
Gendler of the mathematics
department.
Faculty Senate also voted to
approve the rewording of the
Writing Intensive Flag require-
ments. Committee on Courses

and Programs of Study (CCPS)
chair Dr. Elizabeth MacDaniel
explained that this change means
that students no longer need to
take writing intensive courses in
their majors. The departments
will be able to decide what cours-
es a student will need to take.
This change will allow for more
flexibility in choosing courses and
placing courses.
All 100 to 499 courses in arts
and sciences will become general
education courses where appro-
priate, unless specifically desig-
nated otherwise by departments.

Senate Exec. Board prepares for new term
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
Clarion University's newly-
elected Student Senate Executive
Board said they hope to tackle
some important issues in the
upcoming year.
"One of my main goals for next
year is to help Senate try and
overcome a lot of the negativity it
faced this year," said President
Leslie Suhr. "I want students to
recognize us as influential."
For new vice president Jesse
Shirey, keeping all of Senate
focused is one of his main priori-
ties. "I'd like to work with the
internal structure of Senate and
keep people on line," he said. "I
also would like to promote a sense
of family and friendship within
Senate to try and accomplish a
lot."
One of the first projects of
Senate will be planning the meet-
ing of the Board of Student
Government Presidents in
November. The ad hoc committee
that was formed this year will
remain in place at the start of next
year in order to organize the three-
day event, Suhr said. Along with
the BSGP committee, an ad hoc
committee will be established to
work with the Sequelle and tackle
issues of membership and increas-
ing the communication between

succeed," Riggs said.
"We need to lookg at the acade-

Tu offers hope to aspiring student journalists
by Steve Ostrosky
Clarion Call News Editor
>■••••••••••<
>••••••••••»•••••••
Saying the press is "the corner-
stone of American democracy,"
Dr. Ngo Dinh Tu, political science
professor, addressed a recent
meeting of the Society for
Collegiate Journalists.
Discussing the freedoms and
responsibilities of the press, Tu
offered budding journalists "a
message of hope.. .hope for your
future and for your dreams."
He said that the press has
tremendous freedom these days,
citing an example of Today show
anchor Katie Couric asking strate-
gy questions to military officers
about the military campaign in
Yugoslavia. However, he added,
"As the press became more pow-
erful, so went their responsibil-
ties."
Tu went on to describe the dif-
ferences in the media of today
from that of decades ago, citing
how the New York Times knew
about the Bay of Pigs invasion in
the 1960's but did not publish the

ing
the lives of American
servipeople. "The respect for pri-
vacy was universally accepted,"
he said.
The overriding concern for rev-
in the viewership of the major
television network news pro-
grams.
"The invention of covering less
goverment and more celebrity sto-
enue by today's media, Tu elabo- ties was tremendously bad and
rated, has caused a decline in counterproductive because the
thinking," he said.
Numerous figures were present-
ed from polls recently conducted
about today's journalists. "Fifty-
six percent of Americans think the
press is inaccurate, biased, opin-
ionated, sensationalistic: they
emphasize bad news and intrude
too much on the privacy of oth-
ers," Tu said.
Despite all the bad news, Tu
noted that the press is beginning
to come around to public view.
"Sixty percent of reporters and
executives said that the Monica
Lewinsky scandal was covered
too much," he said. "Forty per-
cent of journalists in national
news organizations and 55 percent
of journalists in local outlets said
that news reports are marred by
fact errors and sloppy reporting."
"Recognition is a hopeful sign
of revival," he added.
Tu cited Joseph Nocera, editor at
large of Fortune magazine, who
lamented the nihilism in today's
journalism. "A media that doesn' t
believe in anything except itself,
its people and its problems, its
strengths and weaknesses," Tu
quoted Nocera.
He noted thai a type of "civic
journalism" is cropping up these
days. "It attempts to help com-
munities in solving their prob-
lems," he said. "The media is
working with people to improve
life in various cities."
He encouraged the press to
"rediscover the general spirit of
the people and of the government,
because people have an inex-
haustible collective wisdom."
"For those of you who aspire to
a career in journalism, may I say
that the challenge is great, but the
reward can also be permanent,"
Tu closed. "May the people's
general spirit be with you."
During the event, Tu was pre-
sented with an honorary member-
ship to the Society for Collegiate
Journalists. The Society exists to
reward students active in campus
media for their contributions.
Rec Center still on schedule
by Kristy Mort
Clarion Call Staff Writer
As each day of the semester
passes students have probably
noticed the progress of the new
student recreation center.
The construction is moving right
along other than a minor setback,
according to Dave Tomeo, direc-
tor of Gemmell Complex. The
setback occurred with the climb-
ing wall.
The architectural drawings
showed the climbing wall as hav-
ing an opening of approximately
3 1 feet on the second level, where
as the structural drawing shows
the opening as being 26 feet eight
and one half inches.
The problem involves a differ-
ence of plans. The climbing wall
was designed by the architectural
plan and the building was built
according to the structural plan.
"It wasn't a big problem for the
construction company because
they installed the wall, however it
did take time to recoordinate the
plan in order to make the wall fit,"
Tomeo said.
With this minor setback, what
little time has been lost is sched-
uled to be made up within the next
few weeks, he noted.
As the rest of the building con-
tinues to become enclosed, the
next biggest visual step that stu-
dents will start to notice is the
brick work. This is scheduled to
occur within the next few weeks.
While the construction is mov-
ing along the outside, the planning
continues for the inside.
Intramural coordinator and recre-
ation director Doug Knepp has
been busy selecting what type of
equipment will go into the new
center.
After selecting the equipment, it
was men passed on to the board
which had the final say on what
equipment can be purchased with-
in the budget.
Tomeo said some of the equip-
ment that will be purchased will
be free weights and cardiovascu-
lar equipment.
In addition to the newly pur-
chased equipment, the other appa-
ratus will be transfened from the
Gemmell Student Complex exer-
cise facility to the new center.
According to Tomeo, "I feel that
the students will definitely enjoy
the well equipped physical fitness
center and will be pleased with the
purchases."
Tomeo also noted that after the
center is open, students may come
to him with suggestions on what
other type of equipment they
would like to see in the new facil-
ity and those suggestions will be
highly considered.

A fond farewell
Clarion University icon remembered as he departs

He never forgot a name.
"Dr. Tu... by far the most recog-
nizable name on campus. Perhaps
his popularity is so great because,
even though you only had one of
his classes six semesters ago, he
still greets you by name in passing
on campus," said senior Political
Science major, Jennie Seigler.
That about sums the feelings of
students when it comes to this
Clarion professor. His status will
soon become legendary when he
retires at the end of this semster.
Dr. Ngo Dinh Tu, has been a
member of the Clarion University
faculty for 33 years.
Central Vietnam was home to Tu
and he graduated from the
National College in Vietnam. He
served five years as an officer of
the South Vietnamese miliatry
before becoming a diplomat for
the country.
Before he began his diplomatic
career, Tu was at American
University in Washington, D.C., it
was here he began his teaching
career while earning his master's
degree.
Tu served his country as a diplo-
mat from 1961-62 and 1965-66.
During the break in his diplomatic
career, Tu finished the work for
his doctoral degree from Harvard
University. He completed his dis-
sertation in 1969.
After he left Harvard, Tu was
unable to return to South Vietnam
because of government changes.
He mailed his dossier to several
universities in the United States
and received several offers includ-
ing the one from Clarion in 1966.
Tu became a member of the
Political Science department at
Clarion University that year, and
University Relations
After 33 years as a Clarion University faculty member,
Dr. Ngo Tu will retire at the semester's end.
served as chair of the Social
Sciences department from 1970-
73.
During his distingished career
Dr. Tu has received three
Fullbright grants for research.
The first grant was to Japan in
1977, the second to Hungary in
1977, and finally to Argentina in
1989. From 1986-90 he was an
elected member of the
Pennsylvania Humanities Council
and the Clarion Univeristy
Alumni Association gave him the
Distinguished Faculty Award in
1985. In 1975 Tu traveled to
Cambridge University in England
as a Visiting Fellow, and also
taught as an honors professor at
Edinboro University for the State
System of Higer Education ten
years later.
Tu has presented papers at con-
ferences throughout the world and
is fluent in Vietnamese, English,
French, German and Spanish. Dr.
Tu is a member of American
Friends of Cambridge University
and the United States Strategic
Institute.
"Dr. Tu's reputation as an excel-
lent professor, advisor, and friend
proceeds him," said senior
Political Science major, Ron
Finck. "I can remember comins
up here for my admissions tour
and being told that I should intro-
duce myself to Dr. Tu because he
will be very helpful in getting me
on the right career path. Needless
to say, I was not disappointed. Dr.
Tu has been an amazing source for
inspiration, not just forme, but for
many people. I am sure that he

will be greatly missed at Clarion
University."
Student Amy Koch feels the
same. "Dr. Tu is one of the most
patient, kind, understanding and
thoughtful teachers I have ever
had," said the senior Political
Science major. "His true-to-life
stories bring class to life and cap-
ture every student's attention. He
will be greatly missed at Clarion
University because he has touched
so many students' lives."
"Dr. Tu is an excellent example
of what a college professor should
be," said Jen Headrick, senior,
Political Science. "After having
Dr. Tu for class I realized that I
had learned much more than gov-
ernment and politics. Dr. Tu
taught me about respect for oth-
ers, responsibilty in leadership,
and how to take the most from my
college experience. It was my
privilege to know Dr. Tu."
Julie Murray, senior, Politial
Science major said, "Dr. Tu is a
wonderful professor, mentor, and
friend. I was very fortunate to
have the opportunity to study
under him my four years at
Clarion. He will be greatly
missed."
"If there has been anyone or
anything that has reassured me on
my decision to attend Clarion
University, it has been Dr. Tu,"
said, junior Political Science
major, Cindy Carnahan. "He is
the most helpful, open-minded,
intelligent, and passionate teacher
I have ever known. It has been
great having him for a professor
and mentor. He will be greatly
missed."
Junior Political Science major,
Adam Gensel said, "Dr. Tu is not
only one ofthe greatest professors
that I have ever had, but also one
ofthe most patient."
Dr. Tu's story is amazing to say
the least. His contributions to
Clarion have been imense and
he will live on in the minds of
three decades of Clarion stu-
dents... students who will
return the favor and never for-
get his name.

In Brief...
Slippery Rock's search for
mascot continues
Wherever there is a sports team,
there is usually a mascot-but not at
Slippery Rock University.
Many sports teams' mascots rep-
resents strenght, speed or ferocity
such as Bears, Wildcats, or Tigers
What exactly Rocky was-the for
mer moscot of Slippery Rock
University-is questionable.
It was debated by both students
and alumni whether or not he was
ferocious or power ful enough to
represent SRU, but after being
ridiculed at the 1997 Homecoming,
the mascot lost all dignity and
dropped out of sight.
So Rocky retired.
The gray rock - which was at
times compared to a big gray sweat
sock - was old and worn out, as his
tattered costume clearly revealed.
For the pasts, Rocky showed up at a
few football games, came to home-
coming, and was rerely seen at any
other events.

Editor, and Editor-in-Chief, and is
the current writing coach.
During Curry's three semesters
as Editor-in-Chief, The Clarion
Call moved to full color front
page, published an Online addi-
tion, and fought to establish a pub-
lic forum for debate.
The publishing of a hate letter
led to the first College Press Day.
It was decided that burning and
realistic problems such as the
existence and actions ol hate
groups should be an item for civil
discourse. College Press Day
could provide such a forum.
In November, 1997, students
from six universities from
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and
Ohio attended the sessions and
discussed ethical issues. The sec-
ond College Press Day was held

Clarion graduate student
Mary Beth Curry was
recently named the SCJ
Student Journalist of the
Year.
October, 1998 and the third annu-
al Press Day is being planned for
November, 1999.
Curry served as co-coordinati-
nator of the event, along with Dr.
Arthur Barlow. This event is the
current model for Society for
Collegiate Journalist chapters to
follow.
In addition to her work with The
Clarion Call and College Press
Day, Curry is the Editor of the
SCJ Reporter and serves as a
member of the SCJ National
Committee on Technology and
Recruitment and Retention
Planning (TARARP).
Curry held the position of Vice-
President for the Clarion
University Chapter of SCJ and
spoke at their Spring initiation
banquet last spring.
"This is the single most impor-
tant "event in my life as a journal-
ist," said Curry. "To be awarded
Student Journalist of the Year
means that others see that I am
dedicated to fulfilling the legacy
of those before me. Each step we
take as student journalists widens
the path lor those to come."
Curry said, "SCJ is an organiza-
tion that works along with sut-
dents to ensure that 20 years from
now student newspapers will be
reporting campus crime accurate-
ly, that young journalists will be
acknowledged for a job well done,
and that the first amendment does
not become just another dusty vol-
ume of history. I thank the orga-
nization and Dr. Barlow for all
that they have done for me."
"Clarion is very open to the stu-
dent media," Curry said. "After I
accepted that the job othe admin-
istration is to protect the
University, it became much easier
to be a student journalist "
"By saying this, I don't mean I
didn't rock the boat from time to
time, I mean that there is a mutual
respect between the administra-
tion and student journalists here,"
she added. "It isn't until you look
at the problems other schools have
that you can truly appreciate the
fairness we have."
The National Student Journalist
of the Year Award is presented
annually to an SCJ chapter mem-
ber who has represented the spirit
of the First Amendment by mak-
ing an outstanding contribution to
student journalism. The award is
accompanied by a $500 scholar-
ship provided by the National
Dean's List.
The SCJ Executive Director Dr.
Arthur Barlow said," Mary Beth
Curry's contributions to The
Society for Collegiate Journalists
and collegiate journalism are
enormous. Her actions have
demonstarted her genuine com-
mitment to the First Amendment."
As for advice to student journal-
ists, Curry said, "Don't be afraid
to write the hard stories. I've
always been amazed by students'
reluctance to investigate news sto-
ries."
"A press pass is access to the
real information," she added.
Curry also addressed student
complaints that the administration
is hiding information.
"The answers are out mere," she
said. "The student media just
need some reporters with the guts
to go get them."
Mary Beth also said she feels the
Clarion University faculty play an
important role in encouraging stu-
dent journalists.
"The biggest advantage of
being a student journalist at
Clarion is, without a doubt, the
advising," she said. "I'm con-
vinced that Dr. Barlow knows
more about student journalism
than any ten people I have met.
I mean, who else reads the AP
Stylebook for fun?"
"Maybe it is just that Dr.
Barlow knows students so
well," she added. "I have been
working with him for four
years now, and I have never
had a better mentor or friends
at Clarion. The whole field of
collegiate journaiism is lucky
to have him."
Last year's recipient of the
award was Steve Price from
the University of North
Alabama.

Summer movie preview
Darth Maul, mummies and a buck toothed spy
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
Now that summertime is finally
upon us, it's nearly time for
Hollywood to roll out their
biggest and brightest new movies.
Over the next few months we'll
see Tom Cruise and Nicole
Kidman get kinky, Mike Meyers
try to reclaim his mojo, and even
Yoda and Samuel L. Jackson
together on the big screen for the
first and last time ever. The sum-
mer of '99 will probably break all
previous box office records.
There are a few movies coming
out this summer that no one, and 1
mean no one, will be able to run
from. Here's a quick look at some
of this year's potential block-
busters.
Tarzan': If this film is half as
intense as its trailer, Disney may
very well have itself another
major hit on its hands. 'Tarzan'
boasts great animation, a classic
story, and new music by Phil
Collins that doesn't sound any-
where as cheesy as Micheal
Bolton's 'Go the Distance' from
the 'Hercules' soundtrack. You
might as well get used to the fact
that every child under the age of
nine will be sporting either
'Tarzan' or 'Phantom Menace'
merchandise by the end of
August.
'Eyes Wide Shut': The late
Stanley Kubrick's refusal to cut
any more steamy scenes between
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman
from his final picture has left the
motion picture ratings council in a
very uncomfortable situation.
Should they slap an NC-17 rating
on 'EWS,' fully knowing that
many mainstream theaters will
refuse to carry the film? Cruise
has said that anyone who wants to
make cuts to the erotic thriller will
have to go through him first. Will
Kubrick's version remain intact?
Only time will tell. At any rate,
'EWS' is definitely one of this
summer's must-see flicks.
Although details about the plot are
sketchy, Kubrick said shortly
before his death that 'EWS' was
his finest achievement as a film-
maker.
'The Mummy': Wow, this
movie looks really cool! A far cry
from the bandaged boogey-man
originally played by the great
Boris Karloff, the 90's Mummy
looks like the incarnation of evil
itself. Even though I have no idea
how the story of the Mummy
could have grown to include
plagues of beetles and gigantic
dust cloud monsters, I'll still be
the first in line when 'The
Mummy' invades theaters this
Friday.
'American Pie': This should be
one of the big sleeper hits of the
summer. Truly an exercise in bad
taste, 'American Pie' follows the
misadventures of four losers who
are intent on losing their virginity.
Some of the jokes in the preview
are so raunchy that I can't even
describe them here. (Let's just say
they involve one of the main char-
acters "enjoying" an apple pie.)
That's an excellent sign for any-
one who shares my twisted sense
of humor... and bad news for
prudes everywhere.
'The Wild, Wild West': As a
longtime fan of the television
show upon which this movie was
based, I was less than thrilled to
learn that Will Smith would be
playing special agent James West.
As much as I like Will Smith, he
has a knack for making every
character he plays seem exactly
like ...Will Smith. Sorry, but I
want to see 'The Wild, Wild
West,' not The Wild, Wild Fresh
Prince of Bell Air.' Advance buzz
hasn't been too kind on this flick,
with most preview audience mem-
He Said... She Said
takes a look at 'Life/
for the verdicts, see
page 14
bers saying there's very little
chemistry between Smith and
Kevin Kline, who plays gadget
expert Artemis Gordon. But
Smith has proven to be a power-
house at the box office, a factor
that will probably help 'The Wild,
Wild West' to become a big hit.
I'll be there too, if for no other
reason then to again gaze upon my
dream women, the lovely Salma
Hayek.
'Muppets in Space': Yeah, I was
once seven years old, too. The
Muppets are back in their first
original story since 'Muppets
Take Manhattan.' This time,
Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the crew
are doing their best to trace
Gonzo's extraterrestrial ancestry.
If you're still jonesing for more
Muppet action after seeing
'Muppets in Space,' take heart.
'Elmo's Adventures in
Grouchland' is scheduled to hit
theaters sometime this fall.
'Austin Powers: The Spy Who
Shagged Me': This film has
already garnered the most enthusi-
astic advance buzz of any film
coming out this summer.
Although Elizabeth Hurley won't
be on-screen for more than a few
minutes of 'Austin 2,' I'm happy
to note that Heather Graham will
be Austin's love interest this time
around. Reportedly, star Mike
Meyers will be playing a new
character, "Fat Bastard," in addi-
tion to Austin and Dr. Evil. Also.
Seth Green reprises his role as
Scott Evil, Jerry Springer has a
brief cameo, and best of all... Dr.
Evil sings! 'Austin 2' should be a
monster hit.
'Star Wars Episode 1: The
Phantom Menace': Oh, come on.
If I have to tell you about this, you
really need to crawl out from
under your rock and join reality
for a couple of days.
'Mystery Men': I really, really

Movie reviews
The Matrix' amazes audiences Therapy for the mob
by Jeff Chaffee
Clarion Call Staff Writer
So you've heard all about how
cool the new Keanu Reeves
movie The Matrix is, and you
think you're ready to go see it.
Good, I swear you're gonna love
it.
Matrix is the story of Thomas
"Neo" Anderson (Reeves). As
the movie opens, he's just anoth-
er computer hacker, until a mys-
terious message awakens him at
his computer. From there, it's a
non-stop ride through the "neural
interface", virtual reality world
of the Matix. See, it turns out
that the life everyone thinks
they've been leading is actually a
high-level computer simulation
created by 23rd century sentient
artificial intelligence. Neo has
been brought out of this false
world as a savior for the last
remaining humans in the bleak
future. Acting as Neo's mentor is
Morpheus — the ever-charismatic
Laurnence Fishbum. .
The movie is absolutely visual-
ly stunning, with some of the best
sci-fi special effects I've seen in
a while. Prominent examples are
the scene where a military heli-
copter crashes into an office
building and a Shockwave rip-
pled up from the mirrored glass.
But, there's a few things that the
uninitiated should know going
in. I mean there's some stuff you
just won't get seeing it the first
time.
Suggestion #1: See The Matrix
at least twice. When I was asked
to do this article, I had to go see
it as a way to refresh my memory
of the whole thing, but I was able
to make some connections the
second time through. There are a
few points in the script that are
just mentioned and never fully
explained. This is where seeing
it twice will help you understand
everything
Suggestion #2: Let yourself be
amazed by the effects. As long
as you don't tune out the story-
line, it's perfectly okay to just sit
back and go. "Dude — that
rocked!"
Suggestion #3: talk things over
with one of you buds after you
see it. This helps assemble a lot
of the parts that you may have
misplaced. This tip is especially
good if you and your friend saw
it at different times.
Suggestion #4: pee BEFORE
the show. Trust me on this one.
And finally, Suggestion #5: pay
as much attention to detail as you
can. This movie is like 12
Monkeys in so much as every lit-
tle thing may just end up making
sense later on.
That said, I do have to say that I
was very impressed overall with
all that The Marrix had to offer.
Despite the little places where
some more development would
have been helpful, there's noth-
ing bad at all about this movie.

Nothing 'fishy' with Underworld
by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call
Assitant Lifestyles Editor
Whilst listening to Underworld's
new disc, 'Beaucoup Fish' (rank-
ing at number 58 in my all-time
list of weird titles), I couldn't help
but draw comparisons to Led
Zeppelin. Now why in the world
would I compare the leading tech-
no act of the 90s to that seminal
rock band?
The reason is this - despite some
very good and noble efforts
(Underworld's own
'Dubnobasswithmyheadman,'
Orbital 's 'In Sides') the realm of
techno remains a singles-oriented
genre. Hardly any DJs out there
can find enough competent and
engrossing beats and sounds to
make a cohesive album that works
as a whole. 'Beaucoup Fish' cer-
tainly is a fish out of water in that
department, as the album flows
from one pulse-pounding, brain-
thumping song to the next.
Therefore, the comparison to the
ultimate album rock band. The
12-minute opener, 'Cups,' is
extravagant in demonstrating this,
as it moves through dreamy ambi-
ence to culminate into a piercing
electronica rave, complete with
undulating voices at the end.
Underworld continues to try
their best to make techno palat-
able for the rock masses here, too.
'Fish' is a wonderful crossover

effort, with guitars that grind
alongside the drum machines, and
vocals; two things that most elec-
tronica acts shun. And while the
more traditional instruments have
taken a backseat on this album,
they are still evident.
Underworld's more straight-
through songs have disappeared
on this album, for the most part.
Vocalist Karl Hyde is riding on
the coattails of the programming
here, with mixed results. Some of
their best earlier tracks, like
'Mmm Skyscraper I Love You'(#
12 on my weird and freaky tide
list), and 'Dirty Epic' (an ode to
phone sex), featured much vocal
work from the nasal Hyde.
The only other group to marry
both the rock and techno worlds
mis well was New Order, and
Underworld is starting to bear a
suspicious resemblance to them.
The rhythmically intense, hard-
driving, and instantly recogniz-
able music found on 'Beaucoup
Fish' is reminiscent of New
Order's 'Confusion '-era style,
back in 1983.
There are no shortage of high-
lights on the album. Immediately
after 'Cups' lets up its sonic
assault, 'Push Upstairs' shoves its
way to the foreground, as it
pounds harder than front row seats
to 'Stomp.' 'Jumbo' is surprising-
ly quirky and fun, and 'Bruce
Lee,' which is absolutely ridicu-
lous at first, will hit you like a
kung-fu kick to the head after
repeated listens. Each of these
tracks have a stark brilliance to
them, and while there isn't any
epic and standout track on the
album, it still rocks as hard as ear-
lier material.
After a few soothing and trance-
esque tracks, Underworld closes
out their third album with what
may be their most wicked and sin-
ister track yet, 'Moaner.' Here,
Underworld decides to go com-
pletely Anthony Perkins with their
synths, as they stab and stab again
with a fierce intensity and feverish
speed. Karl Hyde mirrors the
screeching instruments wonder-
fully as the song builds into a
wave of insanity. If a mental
breakdown could have a sound-
track, it would sound like this.
It's really too bad that the elec-
tronica revolution never happened
(at least not in America), because
Underworld and their trio of
records,
'Dubnobasswithmyheadman,'
'Second Toughest In The Infants,'
and now 'Beaucoup Fish' would
be household names. On my five
star rating system, Underworld
has dug themselves a 4 and 1/2.
On a more personal note, I'd like
to thank everyone who has plod-
ded through my overly pretentious
music reviews the past year, my
ex-boss, co-worker, and brother
Jeff for educating me in the ways
of the force (definitely the dark
side), and Ben Folds Five for
putting out the best darn frat-boy
rock this side of 'Louie Louie.' I'll
see all you audiophiles next year!!

match his. So enough butt kiss-
ing.. .on with the review.
Did you ever hear the expres-
sion, "life sucks and then you
die"? Well, in the case of this
movie it is not true. 'Life' does
suck in my opinion, but the main
characters never die. This was
one movie I wanted to leave in the
middle of. Not since I saw
'Clockwork Orange' have I want-
ed a character to die so badly, so
that the movie would finally end.
I cannot believe that I wasted two
hours of my life to see this movie.
'Life' may possibly be the worst
flick 1 have ever seen.
Do not, I repeat, do not even
waste your time watching the
trailer of this movie. The trailer
makes it out to be a fabulous won-
derful comedy with Martin
Lawrence and Eddie Murphy.
They have used deceptive adver-
tising techniques in my eyes. I
think I laughed a total of five
times. 'Life' has won my stink
bomb of the year award. What
Mr. Cody could possibly find
redeeming in this movie, is
beyond my realm of imagination.
It is supposedly set in the 1930's,
yet they use slang terms and
expressions from today's society.
Hello writers!!! Did you have a
single brain between the two of
you? I understand that the F word
has always been around, but the
frequency of it in the script made
me feel as though I was watching
a spin-off of 'Pulp Fiction.'
The plot I am not even going to
bother with, because if I would
explain it you wouldn't under-
stand it anyway because it makes
no sense. There are random
things just stuck in the middle,
like the whole baseball sequence
that adds absolutely nothing to
the plot. The sad shame is, there
were numerous times when I
though they would draw it all
back together, but no.. .the writers
chose not to. I do not see their
thought pattern, why put scenes in
that don't add anything and don't
make sense.
This movie made me feel
absolutely nothing. No sorrow
for the characters' bad luck, no
joy when they Finally do get free
from prison, nada, zip, zilch, zero.
Oops! Sorry, I just gave it away,
the whole movie in one sentence.
How often can you do that? You
shouldn't be able to, if it is a good
movie in my opinion. The make-
up and costumes were very well
He Said...
done, if only everyone else could
have worked to such high stan-
dards, 'Life' may have been a
bearable movie.
I do however need to commend
two people. Wyclef Jean, who
composed the music for the film,
first of all. His haunting melodies
and words of the opening song
were truly magical. My only
hope is that his next endeavor is a
film worthy of his talents.
Secondly, Ned Beatty, who had a
gem of a role and shone like a dia-
mond in it. He portrayed Dexter
Wilkins, the slightly off-kilter
prison warden. Beatty deserved
more screen time; his mere pres-
ence on the screen made me pay
attention. There were so many
places that they could have taken
the script, but it seems the writers,
developers, or whoever chose not
to. Dare I say the whole concept
seems idiotic to me.
Maybe I believe in the justice
system too much. I know it hap-
pens, innocent people go to prison
all the time. But for their entire
life. ..I just don't get it, maybe it's
the fact that I was born 40 plus
years after the movie supposedly
took place. There is one other
facet of the movie that I did thor-
oughly enjoy, the newsreel clips
mixed in with different pieces of
the movie. That was very nice,
like a history lesson right in the
movie.
As always, the outtakes were
funny, and in true Eddie Murphy
form there had to be at least one
joke about flatulence. I would
only suggest this movie if you are
a hardcore Eddie Murphy or
Martin Lawrence fan. Only
someone with a high level of love
for their work could sit through
this monstrosity. As for me, I'll
stick with the Eddie Murphy
rentals. Unless you are extremely
desperate for some air condition-
ing, stay as far away from 'Life'
as you can possibly get. Or take
Mr. Cody's opinion... apparently
the old Life cereal commercial is
true, 'Mikey Likes It.'
by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer
I have a few words of advice to
anyone who plans on chuckling
themselves into a coma while
watching the new Eddie Murphy
and Martin Lawrence comedy
'Life': If you're only going to
have some laughs, don't bother
going. 'Life' is far more drama
than a comedy, a fact that was
completely fudged over in every
trailer and advertisement for the
film. But despite Universal
Pictures' unintentional false
advertising, I found 'Life' to be a
very enjoyable and uplifting tale
that's certainly worth seeing.
'Life' begins in the present day
as two convicts are burying the
coffins of longtime inmates Ray
Gibson (Eddie Murphy) and
Claude Banks (Martin Lawrence).
Both Gibson and Lawrence were
killed in a fire, having never real-
ized their dream of being free men
once again. As the convicts con-
tinue to fill in Gibson and Banks'
graves, one of the prison's old-
timers tells them the story of how
the two late men first came to
prison and of the strange ways in
which they touched everyone's
lives.
With one man being a sharp-
tongued street hustler and the
other thinking himself a
"respectable gentleman," Gibson
and Banks were an unlikely duo
from the very beginning. Their
only common thread was the
money they owed to local mobster
Spanky (Rick James), which led
them on a harrowing bootlegging
run to Mississippi in an attempt to
pay off their debt. Unfortunately,
a series of misunderstandings and
bad moves land the boys in jail,
framed by a racist sheriff and
charged with a murder they didn't
commit. Their sentence? Life
imprisonment at Mississippi State
Penitentiary.
Throughout the next 60 years,
Banks and Gibson use every avail-
able means to plan their escape,
rarely giving up hope that they'll
someday be free once again.
Although 'Life' is billed as a com-
edy, the film rarely elicits more
than a few laughs, making it more
of a light-hearted drama. The only
major problem I had with 'Life'
were that the supporting charac-
ters were barely fleshed out. A lit-
tle more detail on some of Banks
and Gibson's fellow inmates
would have been fun. Also, a sub-
plot involving a baseball prospect
(Bokeem Woodbine) whom Banks
and Gibson both hope will be their
ticket out of jail adds very little to
the story and seems as if it were
added at the last minute to take up
time.
It was great to see Martin
Lawrence acting as the straight
man during the film, allowing
Murphy to deliver his usual rapid-
fire obscenity-laced rants.
Watching the two funny men bat-
tle for the best lines would have
seriously detracted from the
movie, I also enjoyed seeing
Murphy and Lawrence age sixty
years as the film progressed,
growing crankier with every sin-
gle year. Rick Baker's makeup
effects look every bit as good as
they did during previous Murphy
vehicles like 'The Nutty
Professor.* for which he won an
Academy Award.
Director Ted Demme guides the
project with a light touch, some-
times sacrificing the emotional
impact certain scenes might have
had otherwise. But, for the most
part, his direction correctly keeps
the focus on Murphy and
Lawrence, the most enjoyable
characters in the film. Despite the
hardships and opposition their
characters face, Murphy and
Lawrence make 'Life' a truly
rewarding experience.

That's right: It's the theme
from "Star Wars," the movie
series that gave the world a
whole new lexicon, including
such phrases as "the Force,"
"Death Star," "light saber,"
"lexicon" and "licensed mer-
chandise."
"Star Wars" has become an
important and cherished part of
our shared cultural heritage,
like Starbucks and Pez. And
soon another chapter will be
added to the "Star Wars" leg-
end with the release of the
long-awaited new installment
in the series, entitled "Episode
I: The Empire Gets a Building
Permit." On the day this movie
is released, millions of
Americans will flock to movie
theaters to share in the excite-
ment and wonder of being told
that the theater is sold out
through October because all
the tickets have been snapped
up by crazed, drooling "Star
Wars" geeks wearing officially
licensed Han Solo underwear.
What explains the powerful
appeal of the 'Star Wars'
series? Speaking as one who
saw "Return of the Jedi" on
video at least 14,000 times
when my son was 4 and refused
to watch anything else but also
refused to be left alone with
Jabba the Hutt, I would say that
the key element is the theme of
Good vs. Evil. Good is of
course represented by Luke
Skywalker (Mark Hamill) has
the Force, a mystical, universal
power that causes him to be
attracted to his sister.
Fortunately, Luke gets over
that and meets a wise Jedi mas-
ter named Yoda (Raymond
Burr) who trains Luke to har-
ness the awesome power of the
Force so that he can speak lines
of really bad dialogue without
laughing.
Along the way Luke meets
many memorable characters,
including Han Solo (Indiana
Jones), Chewbacca (Sonny
Bono), Princess Leia (Prince)
and two quirky, lovable robots,
C-3PO (Tony Danza and R2-
D2 (F7-Z9). After many hair-
raising adventures, Luke final-
ly goes to the Death Star
(Marlon Brando) where he con-
fronts Evil in the form of his
father, Darth Vader (voice by
Perry Corno) and, in a heart-
warming scene of reconcilia-
tion, beats him up. The dramat-
ic climax comes when Luke
removes the helmet from the
dying Vader and gazes, at last,
into the eyes of the person
beneath the harsh, forbidding
mask (Martha Stewart). In the
end, Good triumphs over Evil,
and Luke and his friends cele-
brate on the planet of the
Ewoks, a race of fun-loving,
short, hairy creatures (Robin
Williams).
As humans, we relate to this
timeless story because we all
go through the same kind of
moral struggle in our own
lives. We have a Force within
us, and sometimes we use it for
Good, as when we decide to
have a salad instead of a
cheeseburger and fries: but
sometimes we turn toward the
Dark Side, as when we load up
our salad with a fatty ranch
dressing, or we take all the

During sweeps week, Wednesday,
May 12th at 9 PM on ABC, Clarion
University graduate Ron Slanina is
co-starring on Tlie Drew Carrey Show
in the role of "Doug." Drew and
Mimi husUe Doug for some quick
cash at the local bowling alley, and
embark on a hustling spree. But he
soon teaches Drew and Mimi that
revenge is sweet
Ron most recently appeared on tele-
vision this past Tuesday, May 4th on
NBC's Days of our Lives where he
has performed four recurring and day-
player characters in the past one and a
half years. Other television credits
include the role of 'Ted" on Murphy
Ron Slanina
Brown, and appearances on Ellen,
Sister Sister, and Vie Steve Harvey
Show.
Ron received his Bachelor of Fine
Arts in Acting from Clarion
University in 1987. Throughout his
education, he performed in over 20
productions at the University and the
Sawmill Theatre in Cook's Forest.
He was born in Pittsburgh, where,
before moving to Hollywood, he had
appeared on stage for the Three
Rivers Shakespeare Festival, The
Pittsburgh Playhouse, and with
Gargaro Productions at the Fulton
Theatre.
Says Ron of Drew Carey:
"The bigger they are, the better they
are. Working with the cast of Drew
Carey was a total pleasure,
they love their jobs and have fun with
each other on and off the set, inviting
everyone from the extras to the studio
execs, to join in the party. LA.has
treated me well. I've danced with
Murphy Brown, boxed with Austin
Peck, and bowled with Drew Carey. I
can't wait to see what's next!"
remaining artichoke segments
from the salad bar. leaving
none for the next person in line
(Nick Nolte).
These timeless themes
explain why we are all so excit-
ed that director George Lucas
(Inc.) has decided, despite the
very real risk that he will make
billions of dollars, to come out
with a new episode of "Star
Wars." Until recently, specific
information about the new
episode was "Top Secret" -
nobody knew the plot except
Lucas, the actors, and of course
the government of China.
Fortunately, however, I have
obtained, from high-level
sources who asked not to be
identified (Al and Tipper
Gore), specific details on the
plot. If you don't want me to
spoil the shocking surprise
ending (Liam Neeson gets
killed), stop reading right now,
because here is...
THE PLOT: There is big trou-
ble brewing in the universe
(California). The evil and
greedy Trade Federation
(Microsoft) is planning to
invade the tiny planet of Naboo
(Naboo), which is inhabited by
a race of strange frog -like
beings (the House Judiciary
Committee). Two Jedi knights,
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn
Summer! Summer Movie
Preview, from Page 12.
will be no exception.
As a closing note, allow me to
bestow upon you the traditional
Iroquois Moviegoing Blessing:
May your popcorn always be free
of rancid butter, may the crying
baby sitting two rows behind you
permanently lose its voice, may
the person you're making out with
during the closing credits always
be more beautiful than you deserve
to be with, and may the previews
for the new Pauly Shore movie be
short and relatively painless. Have
a great summer!
(Siegfried and Roy) go to
Naboo, where, after overcom-
ing numerous special effects,
they are joined by the Naboo
queen (Dennis Rodman). They
escape in a space ship, but
when the "D"-cell batteries in
their light sabers run low, they
are forced to land on the evil,
Hutt-controlled planet of
Tatooine (New Jersey). There
they meet 9-year-old Anakin
Skywalker (Danny DeVito),
and they realize that he has the
Force when he is able, without
physically touching it, to raise
and lower a garage door. After
a meeting with the ancient Jedi
Council (the Rolling Stones),
Anakin and the others return to
Naboo for a climactic finale in
which Siegfried (Roy) battles
with the evil warlord Darth
Maul (Marv Albert) to deter-
mine who will ultimately con-
trol the tie-in rights for Star
Wars collectibles (Pepsi). As
the movie ends, we see the
young Anakin preparing to face
an uncertain future consisting
of at least 14 more sequels, and
we hear the stirring sound of...
BOM-born! Born born born
BOM-born! Born born born
BOM born! Born born born
born... and we feel the Force
welling up from deep inside
ourselves. And so we burp.

by Megan Pavuk
Clarion Call Staff Writer
The Clarion Track and Field
team added to their PSAC quali-
fiers and broke more records this
past Saturday at Shippensburg.
The meet brought in the PSAC
qualifier total to 23 athletes in 36
events. The team has also broken
a total of 1 1 records so tar this sea-
son. These accomplishments
make this year's team the best in
Clarion's history.
Qualifying for PSAC's at
Shippensburg were Marcus
Caraquero ( 1 10 Hurdles), Maureen
Long (1500 M), Heidi Shellgren
(Discus), Justin Wise (Pole Vault),
and the women's 4x100 M team.
The women's team had a number
of first place finishers. High
jumper Melissa Yearous cleared
5'4", Heidi Shellgren threw the
shot put 40-10 1/2; Lisa Hamrick
pole vaulted 9'0' and Maureen
Long ran the 1500 M in 4:48.7.
Kara Emrich, Meisha Henry, Tori
Watt, Jackie Wolbert, Kristie
Runk, Angie Heiser, and Roxanne
Wilson were a few of the team's
standouts.
The men had a respectable
amount of placers as well. Taking
first in the 3K Steeplechase was
Colin McGlone (10:32), John
Shavalsky (Javelin, 200 M), Justin
Wise (Pole Vault), Ld Jablonski
(Triple Jump), Andy Smith
(Discus), John Dellich (110, 400
Hurdles), Steamer Marin (400, 200
M), Brad Walker (800 M), and Gus
Copely (800 M). They were just
some of the team's high points.
Two of the team's members,
Gregg Wade and Jamie Walker,
traveled to Buffalo, New York for
a decathlon meet. Amidst the
amount of competition, both ath-
letes had solid performances.
Just as the school year ends, so
does the team's season. The team
members have one more chance to
qualify for PSAC's. The last meet
of the season was yesterday, May
5. It was the last meet to qualify
for the PSAC's. After that, quali-
fiers from the PSAC's will make
their way to IUP this Saturday.

BASKETBALL RESULTS
The 5 on 5 basketball season concluded last Thursday as three new
champions were crowned. In the women's division it was "iron City"
beating the favored "Tippin Tippers" in an exciting nip and tuck game that
ended 30-24. The men's NIT championship between "Wink's Brigade"
and the "Straight Bailer's" started off slow as neither team could find their
rhythm. When the buzzer finally sounded "Wink's Brigade" had
triumphed 29-24. The coveted NCAA championship between the two
rivals "Nobody" and "Pimps N' Players" was a close on all the way but
the inside game of "Nobody" turned out to be the deciding factor as they
pulled away for a 56-49 win.
TRIATHALON RESULTS
This year marked the most participants ever, as seven students competed
in this grueling race! Amazingly, all but one finished, and the problem was
a bicycle break-down. Jimmy Adams is CUP's new iron man as he
turned in a time of 1 hr 6 min and 6 sec. First place in the women's division
went to Amanda Earnest who posted a time of 1 hr 1 9 min and 26 sec
SOFTBALL RESULTS
Sigma Pi upset the defending champion New Castle squad and took
home top honors in the Softball Extravaganza last Sunday The day
long festivities included lots of terrific softball games and a barbecue that
everyone enjoyed! "We werenl sure if students wanted to make this a

excellent and we plan on hosting this tournament every year'"

easy to strenuous, provide
access to some of the historic
sites and scenic vistas in the
area. The New River Gorge
National River also contains 53
miles of the New River, 25
miles of the Gauley River, 10
miles of the Bluestone
River, and 6 miles of the
Meadow River. All that water
adds up to some excellent pad-
dling. However, this weekend
is dedicated to climbing some
of the tremendous cliffs the
river has created.
It all begins early Saturday
morning when I am awakened
by the sounds of birds chirping
and what sounds like "Mr.
Roboto" playing on the radio.
My watch says it is only 7:00
a.m. but I know this is the
weekend so I can't be up that
early. After a quick glance at
my surroundings I am reminded
that I'm at the Clifftop
Campground in West Virginia,
and the reason I am up so early
if so that I can take full advan-
tage of my time at New River
Gorge. It is a beautiful morn-
ing. There is just enough chill
to invigorate the body and clear
the mind. I climb out of my
tent and join in the discussion
of what routes we will attempt
today.
By 9:00, we set up climbs on
two routes and rappel down to
meet our friends at the bottom.
Since this is the first time some
of our group has been climbing,
we start out with some instruc-
tion on the basics of climbing.
Harnesses and helmets are
donned and we are soon climb-
ing. The sun seems to join in
the fun as it climbs up the sky,
casting its warming rays on the
rock. With the more experi-
enced climbers taking turns
belaying, everyone gets a
chance to climb.
After some deliberation and
time for digestion, our group
decides to check out the
"Bridge Buttress" area. The
area proves to have some
excellent routes. Our first
route is named "Where real
men dare." There is really no
rhyme or reason when it comes
to naming climbs. I suspect the
idea of naming climbs is found-
ed on bragging rights. And
despite the hints of testosterone
in the name of this particular
climb, several of the women in
our party complete it with ease
and grace. Three more climbs
are set up and we alternate
between lounging in the sun
and scaling the cliff for the rest
of the day.
This is my last trip as a
member of the club and I spend
most of the day in reminiscent
conversation on past adven-
tures. The Outdoors Club has
combined my two favorite pas-
times, spending time with good
friends and immersing myself
•in nature. The two have made
an excellent combination for
the past 5 years (yea, I took the
extra year). Thanks for the
adventures and memories.
Good luck on all your adven-
tures next year and all the years
that follow.

Cramer signs Panthers contract
Courtesy of Sports Information
Paul Cramer, a 1995 graduate of Clarion
University and the placekicker at Clarion
from 1991-94, recently signed a free agent
contract with the Carolina Panthers of the
NFL. He will report to camp in July.
A 5' 11", 180-pound, left-footed kicker and
native of Jamestown. Pa., and Greenville
High, Cramer played at Clarion in the sea-
sons of 1991-94. In his career, he connected
on 100 of 110 PAT's (90.9%) and 27 of 54
field goals. His 100 PAT's is first on
Clarion's All-Time list, while his 27 of 54
field goals is third. Cramer tallied 181 over-
all points which is second at Clarion.
Named to the PSAC-West second team as a
senior, he booted 10 of 18 field goals and 27
of 28 PAT's in 1994. In 1993, Cramer
clicked on 5 of 14 field goals and 21 of 23

PAT's. That season Cramer also carried a
36.9 yard average as the Golden Eagle
punter.
In 1992, Clarion won the PSAC-West on the
field with a 5-1 league mark. Cramer hit 10
of 14 field goals and 25 of 26 PAT's to lead
the team with 55 points. As a second team
PSAC-West choice, he ranked 12th in
Division II in field goals made. In 1991.
Cramer's freshman year, he made 27 of 33
PAT's and 2 of 8 field goals.
A Political Science major at Clarion, Cramer
is currently finishing graduate school at
UNC -Charlotte. He is the son of Larry and
Louise Cramer of Jamestown.
"We're very proud of Paul," stated head
coach Malen Luke whose first season (1994)
was Cramer's senior year. "The thing I
remember most about Paul is how hard he
worked at his kicking," Luke added.
Former Clarion Football Coach, Gene
Sobolewski (1983-1993), said "Paul is an
outstanding young man. He has a very
strong leg and is also a quality punter."
Cramer will be competing against the
Panthers incumbent placekicker John Kasay.
Kasay has kicked with Carolina during its
four-year existence. Kasay made 19 of 26
field goals and 35 of 37 PAT's last year. In
1996, Kasay had the third best all-time kick-
ing season scoring 145 points. Also, kicking
for four seasons in Seattle before going to
Carolina, Kasay had made 186 of 235 career
field goals and 216 of 222 PAT's for 774
career points.
Although Kasay has signed a contract
through 2003, Cramer is hoping to get a
chance to show what he can do, and possi-
bly, in the process, also impress other NFL
teams if Carolina chooses to stay with
Kasay.

we're relieved and we're
ready to continue the baseball
tradition here at Clarion

recent years.
"Besides the individual
accomplishments players have
set over the years, the thing
Clarion University Baseball
has stood for is academics and
athletics. For kids who have
been in the program for 3 to 4
years, we have a 100% gradu-
ation rate. To me, thats what
its all about," said Herman.

in the past week, It has been an
experience I will never forget,"
Herman added.
On May 1, the baseball team
completed their season with 8-22

The season was tough for
Clarion, but a series of strong
conference games marked the
type of improvement which will
be needed for a strong season in
2000.
"You're going to pay your dues
to have a good team down the
road. What I didn't want to do is
have an A team and a B team. I
tried to make everyone competi-
tive in their position," said
Herman.

ing 17 underclassmen, and six
