CUP Provost, John Kuhn, remembered

by Leslie Suhr

Clarion Call

Managing Editor

A memorial service was held on
Friday, September 10, 1999 in
Hart Chapel for Dr. John Kuhn,
Provost and Academic Vice
President of Clarion University,
who passed away on Sunday
September 5, 1999. Kuhn died
unexpectedly.

At the service, representatives of
the faculty, administration, and
student bodies all spoke about
their remembrances of John Kuhn
and how he touched each of their
lives individually. Provosts from
other state schools and the
Chancellor of the State System of
Hieher Education. Dr. James

McCormick, were also present.

Dr. Stanton Green, Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences,
spoke about the many times that
Dr. Kuhn would keep the mem-
bers of the Dean's Council
focused on issues that were at
hand and how he would readily
supply any information that was
needed to make quick decisions.

Jeremy Nesmith, a student
worker in the Provost's office,
asked for a round of applause for
Dr. Kuhn as the emotional audi-
ence came to its feet.

Nesmith said, "Kuhn was an
idol for me. He gave me a lot to
work for and always made him-
self available for the students."

According to Nesmith. Kuhn

Dr. John Kuhn, who passed

away September 5, 1999.

was also an avid supporter of the
Lift Every Voice Gospel Choir

and was instrumental in helping
them to begin a statewide gospel
choir.

Dr. Diane Reinhard, President of
Clarion University, shared fondly
her memories of Kuhn.

"I remember one time in partic-
ular where 1 was disturbed about
the state budget and where the
extra money would come from.
The next morning John came into
my office and handed me a lottery
ticket. He knew 1 had a better
chance of winning the lottery than
getting any more money from the
state. He was like that. John
liked to get a smile from every-
one," Reinhard said.

Dr. Thomas Gusler. associate
provost, spoke of his friendship

State System denies
binding arbitration

by Jeff Say

Clarion Call

Editor-in-Chief

The labor dispute between the
State Sytem of Higher
Education (SSHE) and The
Association of Pennsylvania
State College and University
Faculties (APSCUF)

SCUF) has reached a stand-
still.

The negiations stalled last
Thursday after the State
System denied ASPCUFs -
offer for binding arbitration.
Under that agreement an indepen-
dent arbiter would decide ther

terms of the next contract betw een
State System and APSCUF.

According to Bill Fulmer.
APSCUF representative, the state
system wants to cut the Facultys

tion after refusing an offer by the
State System to extend the con-
tract of faculty through December
31 while negotiations continued.
APSCUF has agreedto have th
faculty continue working
through December 31 but a
threat of a strike has nto been
ruled out. According to
Fulmer an approval vote for
strike is being made on
Septmeber 28, 1999. This

with Kuhn and the working rela-
tionship that they had developed.

"John always reminded me that
1 worked with him. ..not for him,"
said Gusler.

Dr. Ralph Leary of the English
Department and Chair of Faculty
Senate, said that Kuhn's interests
lied within the community and
staff.

"He always knew personal
things about each of us. And now
he nave me these baseball cards
about people that no one else
knew about. ..thanks for giving me
a memory." Leary said.

ItipiovHiieiits and setbacks
f ran the sunnier months

Clarion University and the community has done
major restructuring and revamping since last semester
when we were all in class. Now it's the fall semester
of the millenium. This is a quick glimpse at what has
changed, and what still needs worked on.

+ Clarion County may go into the record
books. That's right, IF the ALF food drive is as big a
success as planned, it could go into the Guiness Book
of World Records. All you have to do is donate.
Watch for further information.

+ The new recreational center is well on
schedule. A bonus? They took our advice and added

30 new parking spaces.

+ Chandler Dining Hall looks good after many
months of renovations. Kudos to the new image.

+ Garbage and Lit are scheduled to be the
main attraction for the UAB concert this year. Big
improvements on the past couple of years have been
made to the concert series.

- Eagle Park broke its promise to have the
renovations completed. No phones and no free cable.
What happened?

- Ok, Chandler looks great, but, what
happened to eliminating long lines and getting better
food quality? That's what students really want.

- Now, you have to live miles away to even be
considered for a parking pass. And at that, you could
park at the stadium. I guess they didn't take the stu-
dents advice on the safety issues.

- Did all the professors get new books? This
year it seems we all had to pay a lot more than normal
because there were a lot less used books in the book-
store.

Your Views

A hole in the Clarion Universe

John Kuhn passed away this Labor Day weekend
and the Clarion community has lost a cherished
member. He was walking along Main Street listen-
ing to his favorite radio show A PrairieHome
Companion, when the big heart of this big man gave
way. In many cultures, the loss of a person is thought
of as a hole in their universe. It is the responsibility
of the people of the of the community to fill that hole
with memories and stories of the person lost. And
with John, many people can tell many stories.

I learned of John Kuhn's kindness from my first
conversations with him. He mentored me from the
start as I was trying to decide whether to move from
South Carolina to Pennsylvania. After much good
advice, he always ended our conversation about this
life-changing move for my family and me by saying
"good luck in making your decision." This was not
a perfunctory signoff but rather a sincere wish, for
John was always hoping for good luck for everyone.
Kindness pervaded all his actions. He never took an
action in which he did not think of the impact it had
on the people it affected.

On campus, he was always considerate to a fault to
all colleagues, and especially students. Many of us
who worked with him insisted that we would deal
with student problems so he could deal with the 'big'
problems. For he was the provost and provost's did-
n't deal with students. But to John, who remained a

teacher to the end, there was nothing more important
than a student.

In the community, he was often seen walking Main
Street greeting people by their first names. He visit-
ed and patronized almost all of the businesses on
Main Street. He took his haircuts at the Main Street
barbershop because he so enjoyed his conversations
there.

I n many cultures, the loss of a

person is thought of as a hole in

their universe. It is the responsibility

of the people of the community to fill

that hole with memories and stories

of the person lost. 99

"The new academic year

mlmtM

Dr. Arthur H. Barlow

Fare Thee Well

Welcome back to Clarion -
for some of you. For the Class
of 2003 Welcome to Clarion.

The new academic year
started with a farewell -
farewell to our Provost, Dr.
John Kuhn, a kind, calm
leader, in a student's words,
"He was always there for us."

It's a new year with a new
staff. After a few tumultuous
'meetings' during the summer
Jeff Say was elected Editor-
in-Chief to replace an elected
editor who had not yet served.
The Executive Board was in
place and working during the
summer, and their expertise
has guided this special issue
to press. It's a year of great
potential. THE CLARION
CALL has consolidated its
financial foundation, seasoned
its staff, strengthened its
Advertising and Photography
sections and upgraded its
equipment. But all that is no
guarantee the student newspa-
per will be credible and suc-
cessful. It truly takes team-
work, dedication, and work,
but no problem; the CALL has
always been long in that suit.

It's a new year with an old
problem: no teaching contract.
While both parties, (SSHE)
State System of Higher
Education and (APSCUF) The
Association of Pennsylvania
State College and University
Faculty, have agreed to con-
tinue to work and abide by the
terms of the 96-99 contract,
the time of decision is soon
upon us. Now that the SSHE
has rejected APSCUF's mod-
est proposal to accept an arbi-
trator's finding on a 'final
best-offer,' the countdown has
begun. The September 27th-
28th strike authorization vote
is NOT calling a strike, but it
is empowering APSCUF to
move to job action if all
efforts fail. That's fail with
an: F, a mark those experi-
enced in academic jargon
comprehend.

Meanwhile Floyd is churn-
ing new channels as it courses
its way North.

Editorial

"Now I'm faced with
the weekly task of

making sure a
quality paper reaches

the hands...."

Jeffrey Say, Editor-in-Chief

Everyone has decisions to make
in life, some larger and more
important than others. This sum-
mer I faced one of my largest
dilemas ever. This summer I had
to make one of the hardest and
most important decisions of my
life. I had to choose between hav-
ing a social life or becoming the
Editor-in-Chief of The Call.

As you can see I chose the
Editor-in-Chief position, but I
have come to the realization that
most of my semester will be ded-
icated to serving the students of
Clarion University to the best of
my abilities.

When I first joined The Call
staff two years ago, I never envi-
sioned taking the helm of such a
prestigious paper. The Editor-in-
Chief is, in my opinion, one of the
top leadership positions on the
Clarion campus, or on any cam-
pus for that matter.

With any leadership position
comes more responsibility, less
time for yourself, and more stress.
Leadership has never been one of
my strong points. Now I'm faced
with the weekly task of making
sure a quality paper reaches the

hands of you, the readers, every
Thursday. I can guarantee that
every Wednesday out staff will be
dilligently working to put togeth-
er a newsworthy and entertaining
issue.

With leadership almost always
comes adversity. I've faced my
share of adversity already this
semester and have somehow
come out with my sanity intact.
Adversity affects everyone at the
university whether it be compli-
cations on when you will gradu-
ate, everyday stress and now the
looming threat of a strike.

I thought that since we all face
adversity together I would share a
few tips on how to be a college

student, face the everyday stress
of classes and extra-curricular
activities and still have a few
brain cells to spare.

1. Always keep a positive atti-
tude. No matter how bad a day
you are having always look for
something small that has been
positive. At the end of the day
that small gem could be the best
event that has happened to you.

2. Take a moment out of your

The selection was made during
the first Student Senate meeting
of the school year September 13.

The former Vice President Jesse
Shirey resigned from his position,
creating the need for the election.
"It is very disapoinung that
Jesse had to resign his position. I
know that he had a lot to offer

a Sequelle yearbook advisory
committee has been added.

Senators also discussed the sta-
tus of Student Trustee Naqeeb
Hussain and his brother Farhard
Hussain also a Senator.

The Hussain brothers have not
returned to Clarion for the fall
semester because of personal
issues.

Trustee Hussain is scheduled to
graduate in May 2000, at which
time the Senate would need to fill
his position.

However, if Hussain does not
return until Spring semester, his
term will be extended and the
search for a new Student Trustee
will be postponed.

"Our thoughts are with the
Hussain family and we wish them
the best. I know both brothers
were looking forward to a suc-
cessful year but when they return,

I know they will remain active
with the University," said
President Leslie Suhr.
Business Manager Lee Krull dis-
cussed issues surrounding the
future of Clarion University's
Carlson Library.

During rennovation of the
library, the Gemmell Multi-
purpose room may be used as the
acting library.

Senators are concerned that this
will limit campus space for activ-
ities next year.

Senators also said that this year
they hope to encourage more stu-
dents to become involved and join
committees.

Presidents on Friday, November

Rec center opening delayed

According to Dave Tomeo,
director of the Gemmell Student
Complex, the new student recre-
ation center was scheduled to
open on Monday, September 13,
1999.

That date has been postponed to
the end of October or the begin-
ning of November due to some
final additions, changes and deci-
sions.

Dave Tomeo has hired Lori
Sabatoseas building manager for
the new facility.

One of her first projects is to hire
students for work study positions.

w The original nine workers who
worked in the fitness center in the
Gemmell Student Complex are

going to be transferred to the new
recreation center," said Tomeo.

"But," he added, "there are
many more work-study positions
open, for which Lori will have to
find and train candidates before
the facility opens."

Work to be completed inside the
recreation center includes
installing the floors, painting the
walls and furnishing the building.

Outside, construction workers
continue to pour the concrete for
the sidewalks.

According to Hal Wassink,
director of the Student Activities
Office, thirty parking spaces are
being added to the end of the
building near the tennis courts.

This is a last minute change to
the master plan which originally
designated the area as green
space.

Library Reconstruction

by Sue Kaschak
^ Clarion Call Staff Writer

Students and faculty at Clarion
University will be preparing for
renovations in Carlson Library.

The University will be spending
$14.67 million on this project that
will be bid on during late
December and early January. The
actual construction will then start
70 days after the bids are accept-
ed.

Clarion is getting all the funds
from the Common Wealth of
Pennsylvania, and the State of
Higher Education.

The University has been work-
ing hard on the plans for the reno-
vation and addition.

According to Clare Heidler,
director of facilities planning, the
Pennsylvania Department of
General Services received the pre-
liminary design at the beginning
of April to approve the plan.

This approval was the second
part of a four step design process.
The schematic designs preceded
this step.

The set of classrooms that are
currently part of the English,
Modem Languages and Library
Sciences departments will be torn
down, and a 28,000 square foot
addition will be added.

This will take place while the
current library is being renovated.

While these changes are taking
place the English, Modem

Languages, and Library Sciences
will be moved to Davis Hall.

Davis is currently getting reno-
vated in preparation for the
upcoming move.

This large change will cause
some confusion and inconve-
nience. Some people are very

concerned and upset about these
changes, however others think it
is a positive move for the
University.

"The new library is very much
needed, even though it will be a
hassle while it is being moved. I
don't think it will be a very big
disruption due to the electronic
data," said Barbara Reed, secre-
tary of Department of Library
Sciences.

She continues, "The librarians
and administration are working
diligently to have a good plan and
to get what people need during the
move."

Many students and staff will be
asking where the books will be
located. No one should worry,
because everyone will still have
access to all books.

There may be a delay, but any-
one should be able to have a book
within a 24 hour period.

When this project is complete,
the Carlson Library will be the
home of the current library collec-
tion and staff, along with the fac-
ulty from the department of
Library Sciences, and an art

Reorganization and changes
to shuttle bus routes and bus

due to both safety and efficien-
cy concerns for riders, accord-

John Trathen, director of stu-
dent activities said, "A shuttle
bus committee has been formed
consisting of students, faculty,
bus drivers, administration, and
others who use the shuttle in
order to review the routes and
bus stop locations to better
improve the safety and ser-

University faculty published in the prestigious "Scholars"

"I wrote the article," Dr. Vega

by Troy Trauterman
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Two Clarion University profes-
sors formulated articles in the new
publications of "Scholars" journal
distributed by the Pennsylvania
State System of Higher
Education.

The two professors, Dr. Arthur
Barlow, associate professor of
communication and Dr. Anthony
Vega, assistant professor of clima-
tology, wrote articles comprised
of difficult work and intense
research.

Dr. Barlow's article "A Stone
Church for Antrim" depicted a
small Episcopal Church located at

a rural mill town called Antrim
near Wellsboro, PA.

His article manifested the
church's survival among a town
mat saw economic and population
decline.

"The church was a gem. It was
beautiful. A jewel," said Dr.
Barlow about Antrim's lone
church.

"I met very fine people. It was
a joy of research. There is a story
behind the church."

Dr. Barlow's historical piece
was composed three and a half
years ago by compiling clip files
and archive research from local
newspapers.

The other article written by Dr.

Vega about a year and a half ago
was called "Predicting
Unpredictable Weather."

His article explored the extreme
weather conditions of the "El
Nino" events. "Ten years of
research on "El Nino" was com-

DeMauro named assistant vice president of computing services

by Traci Fredley
Clarion Call
Staff Writer

Karen DeMauro was recently
named assistant vice president for
computing services here at
Clarion. This is a new title for her
previous position of director of
computing services.

"The promotion is recognition
for the progress the Center for
Computing Services has made,"
said DeMauro, "It was a pleasant
surprise; however the credit goes
to the computing services staff."

DeMauro continued, " We have
developed into a very good team
over the years. We have learned to
work together and support one
another."

That team approach is necessary
because of the day-to-day changes
in technology and the large num-
ber of users here at Clarion
University. "We (the staff) try to
address the changing needs of
technology," says DeMauro.

"We always have a list of pro-
jects. There are currently 67 pro-
jects on the list , DeMauro said,
"and the work load for our depart-
ment has more than doubled since
January."

One of the 67 projects is making
the administrative system more
efficient through the new technol-
ogy.

DeMauro's department has
undergone major reorganization
over the last several years.
Telecommunications, networking,
and learning technology are
recent additions to the computing

services duties.

The department also continues
to operate a computer help desk,
applications support for computer
systems, and the management of
the enterprise wide systems.

One project DeMauro is proud
of is the Alltel alliance agreement
combining telecommunication
and computing services through
an innovative, public-private
alliance with Alltel

Communications Incorporated.

The project will provide high
speed Internet access and
increased cable television and
telephone options for student resi-
dence halls, along with a new
University-wide telephone system
and specially priced telecommu-
nications services for faculty, staff
and other groups. Clarion is the
first University in the SSHE sys-
tem to create this type of alliance
with a private industry.

Clarion is also the first
University to utilize the
Commonwealth's new Request
for Qualified Contract (RFQC)
procurement process.

"We've had to complete a lot in
a short period of time to be ready
for the fall 1999 semester," says
DeMauro. "By SUPER WEEK-
END all seven residence halls will
be networked. They will be ready
for cable television, long distance
service and computer hookups to
the Internet. The telephone
switch over will come in January
2000."

DeMauro said, 'The fact that we
received two million dollars for
ALLTEL consortium to write the

residence halls from Alltel is sig-
nificant."

Many of the campus' technolo-
gy improvements are aided by a
separate project, C-Net,

Panhellenic/IFC Lecture

Mark Sterner scares the campus straight

by Keith Blair GwiUim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

Former Clarion University stu-
dent Mark Sterner presented a
sobering lecture last Thursday to
a packed crowd in the Marwick-
Boyd auditorium. A largely
greek audience sat with rapt
attention as Sterner told his har-
rowing tale of drunken driving.

Sterner first came out to intro-
duce himself, and give some

of the night's festivities. Also, he
came out in a bright orange
prison jumper. The lights in the
auditorium dimmed and the last
recorded images of Sterner's
friends appeared. The video
showed them doing shot after
shot of hard alcohol in their
Florida hotel room. After killing
off several bottles, they then got
into their rented Lincoln Town
car and sped off down narrow
and winding roads, reaching

crashing into the woods, throw-

vehicle, and demolishing the car.
When medical personnel arrived
on the scene, three of his friends
were dead, one seriously injured,
and Mark himself hovering near
death.

After recovering from his
injuries, Mark was charged with
the deaths of his three brothers.

Moeslein had similar feelings, as
she stated "The whole experi-
ence was quite unsettling.
Sterner's presence caused me to
sincerely reflect on the dangers
of being on the road late at night

and not knowing who's behind
the wheel of the other cars."

On the whole, the night was a
depressing, but very enlightening
evening. Sterner's words will
resonate for a long time to come
in the minds of all those who
heard him speak.

Summer Movie Roundup

'Sensing' a

Summer movies sizzle and flop bi s hit

^^ JL hv Carev \

by Mike Cody
g Clarion Call Staff Writer

The summer of 1999 will go
down in cinematic history for
numerous reasons, not the least
of which being that it was
Hollywood's most profitable
period ever. Sure, this year's
crop of summer flicks struck
box office gold, but were they
any good? My answer is defi-
nitely "yes". Here's a brief
recap of the most memorable
films I caught this summer,
starting with 1999's most pleas-
ant surprises.

BEST MOVIES OF THE SUM-
MER:

'South Park': This movie
pulled no punches, took no pris-
oners, left no taboo unbroken,
and made me laugh harder than
I have in a very long time. Most
of the people I spoke with
who'd seen 'South Park' said
that they thought the movie
went too far in terms of its non-
stop profanity and gross-out
humor. Maybe that's the reason
why I liked the film so much:
the creators of 'South Park'
weren't afraid to take a daring
path that might not have turned
out so successfully. I only wish
that more filmmakers would
choose to take the road less
traveled instead of running the
same old plots into the ground.

'Blair Witch': I'm not going
to remember 'Blair Witch' for
the weeks of hype that
preceeded and followed its
release. I'm not even going to
remember the movie for the
countless unfunny parodies that
are still cluttering up cable TV
even now. I'm going to remem-
ber 'Blair Witch' for its last ten
minutes, which featured some
of the scariest mind games I've
ever seen in my life, and for the
intensely unnerved feeling I had
while driving home alone on
that dark and rainy night.

'American Pie': Despite hav-
ing most of the movie's jokes
ruined for me by friends who
saw 'American Pie' without me
("Dude! Did you hear where
she sticks the flute?"), I thor-
oughly enjoyed this film. I'm
giving 'American Pie' the dubi-
ous distinction of being my
favorite teen movie of the late
90's.

'Bowfinger': This Steve
Martin /Eddie Murphy vehicle
was everything it was intended
to be: an underhyped, genuinely
funny movie that came as a
pleasant surprise to late-sum-
mer filmgoers. The more cere-
bral alternative to films like
'South Park' and 'American
Pie,' 'Bowfinger' proved that
you don't have to rely entirely
on poop jokes to make a funny
movie. But it helps if you have
a dog wearing high heels.
MEDIOCRE SUMMER

FILMS:

'The Phantom Menace':
Here's a Hollywood no-brainer
for you: What movie could
gross over $400 million domes-
tically and still be considered
somewhat of a dud? (No, the

answer isn't 'Ernest Goes to
Africa.') When it came to
pleasing equally demanding
industry big-wigs and Jedi-
jonesing sci-fi fans, 'Star Wars:
Episode 1' faced a tougher task
than Darth Maul's dental
hygienist. Unfortunately, I have
to say that Lucas and company
just didn't deliver on the grand
scale they promised. Sure, the
special effects were unparal-
leled. Yeah, it was great to see
the early stages of all the Holy
Trilogy characters we've grown
to love. But to be quite honest,
the bad elements of 'SWE1'
nearly cancelled out the good.
In fact, there's even worse news
for anyone who hates Jar Jar
Binks. George Lucas has said
that everyone's least favorite
Gungan will probably play an
even bigger part in the next two
films. Oh joy, oh rapture.

'Deep Blue Sea': 'DBS' was
one of those movies that reach-
es out and grabs moviegoers
tightly for the two hours they're
in the theater but is easily for-
gotten once the credits roll. The

whole time I watched Jan
DeBont's mutated-shark epic, I
kept thinking, "I've seen this
movie a hundred times before."
And so have you, if you've seen
'Predator,' 'Leviathan,' or any
of the 'Aliens' films. Overall,
not a bad film but not a great
one either.

'Mystery Men': I really, real-
ly wanted to like this movie. I
thought, "With such a great
cast, how could this movie pos-
sibly go wrong?" And after see-
ing 'Mystery Men,' I still was-
n't sure what could have made
such a cool project turn out so
unevenly. 'Mystery Men' had
its best moments when the team
of outcast heroes was working
together to battle evil
Cassanova Frankenstein but the
enjoyment level dropped like a
rock when director Kinka Usher
tried to emulate Joel
Schumacher's 'Batman' films.
Hopefully, Mr. Usher will
return to directing Taco Bell
commercials and the stars of the
film can quickly rebound from
this disappointment.
WORST FILMS OF THE SUM-
MER:

•Wild Wild West': Yeah, yeah,
once again Will Smith managed
to con me out of $7 of my hard-
earned cash. Even though most
of Smith's movies are packed
with enough fun to make me
forget their implausibility's, the
wickey-wickey-Wild Wild West
was a hickey-hickey-huge dud.
When I heard director Barry
Sonnenfield say that the
inevitable issue of Smith's race
would be dealt with appropri-
ately in the movie, I didn't
know that Sonnenfield's plans
meant making moviegoers as
uncomfortable as possible by
having the villainous Dr.
Loveless constantly spew racisl
bile at Smith. I wonder if the
folks at Burger King were a lit-
tle uncomfortable with the
thought of their kids' meals fea-
turing Dr. Loveless, who greet-
ed Smith's character with
"family-friendly" quotes that
are laden with racism. And
please, I'm begging you, don't
even get me started on the
song...

'Big Daddy': The watering-
down of America's favorite
comedian has officially begun.

Although 'Big Daddy' wasn't
especially terrible, it was proba-
bly Adam Sandler's weakest
film since 'Bulletproof.' I'd
expected so much more from
Sandler than the bland story and
unfunny jokes found in 'Big
Daddy.'

'The Thomas Crown Affair': I
don't care what any other
reviewers said. The plot was
dull, the dialogue had no spark,
the action was non-existent, and
Rene Russo looked like a rot-
ting corpse. How bad did
'Thomas Crown' get? I tried
falling asleep but couldn't tear
my eyes away from the cine-
matic train wreck slowly
unfolding before me. If some-
body you know invites you to
come over and watch this movie
once it's released on video, ter-
minate the friendship immedi-
ately.

'The Haunting': "I have to
save the children! I have to
save the children!" Oh, shut up.

Overall, 1999 was a pretty
good summer to be a movie fan.
Hopefully, the upcoming fall
season will be every bit as fun.
And at least we won't have to
put up with any more of Jar Jar
Binks.

by Carey Williams
College Press Exchange

It is rare that a Hollywood film
has the ability to surprise an audi-
ence. 'The Sixth Sense' is a
Hollywood film that defies that
generalization. This is not a hor-
ror film, it's mildly even a thriller.
It's really a story about relation-
ships.

The film begins with Dr.
Malcolm Crowe, convincingly
played by Bruce Willis, at home
with his wife. Crowe is a child
psychologist and is held in high
regard by his peers. Just as Crowe
and his wife are about to go to bed
they discover that one of their win-
dows has been busted. It becomes
apparent that someone is in the
house.

They discover it is one of
Crowe's former mental patients,
played by Donnie Wahlberg.
Wahlberg feels that the good doc-
tor failed him, shoots him and then
commits suicide.

We then jump to next fall and
Crowe is now on the case of a
young boy named Cole Sear.
Crowe tries to help him cope and
redeem himself for failing
Wahlberg.

As for the surprise ending that
everyone is talking about, believe
the hype. It is truly an amazing
twist in the end.

Music Review

Hot music under the hot summer sun

by Keith Blair Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••I

Well, music fans, it's been a
long and eventful summer, and
I'm back to let you know what
you missed over the break. So
here are my picks for the best of
the last summer of the millenni-
um.

First off is the third album of
original material by techno, big-
beat superstars The Chemical
Brothers. The new album,
'Surrender,' is an amazingly loud,
bombastic and original piece of
work. Featuring a plethora of
guest musicians and new funky
beats, 'Surrender' sounds like one
big Gap commercial. It's also
their best record yet.

Starting out with 'Music:
Response,' which contains a
clever sample of Missy
'Misdemeanor' Elliot, the stage is
set for the first three songs, which
are all intense dance-floor work-
outs. 'Out Of Control' introduces
the first of the many guest artists,

the grandfather of techno, New
Order's Bernard Summner. A
thundering and instantly catchy
piece, 'Out Of Control' mixes
Summner's 80's synth rock with a
booming club bassline that just
won't quit. When Summner's
nasal voice kicks in, you'd swear
it was 1983 all over again. And
die Brothers have done amazing
things with his guitar work, twist-
ing it into a high-pitched whine at
times, and a creeping drone at oth-
ers. They truly are studio wiz-
ards.

Oasis mastermind Noel
Gallagher lends his vocal and
writing talents to the more rock-
oriented 'Let Forever Be,' which
could have been a lost psychedel-
ic single. Even the overwhelm-
ingly trendy beat (which screams
'Go buy a tech-vest!!!') doesn't
drag this song down. Say what
you will about Oasis, but
Gallagher can always be counted
on to deliver memorable hooks.
The lead-off single from
'Surrender,' 'Let Forever Be' also

sports an incredibly trippy video.
The album's centerpiece, 'The
Sunshine Underground' does not
disappoint. Swirling melodies
with a distinct Japanese flavor
envelop you, genUy taking you to
another place. It's not dance
music by any means, but utterly
hypnotic. The rest of the album
works just as well, too. 'Orange
Wedge' is like biting into a grape-
fruit, and is wonderfully bubbly,
and 'Hey Boy Hey Girl' rivals the
Brothers' Grammy-winning
'Block Rockin' Beats.' Mazzy
Star's Hope Sandoval lends
vocals to the dream-pop laden
'Asleep From Day,' and Primal
Scream's Bobby Gillespie pops
up, too. 'Surrender' gets a 4 1/2
on my 5-star rating system.

Next up is another techno main-
stay, Moby. His first studio album
since 1997's disappointing
'Animal Rights,' which was a stab
at hard and industrial rock, his
new offering, 'Play' explores new
sonic territory. The concept is
very left-field: cross his usual

electro-beats with old blues stan- heard it.

As a molder of public opin-
ion, I regularly go on fact-find-
ing missions to foreign coun-
tries located outside of the
United States. I then report my
findings to you in the sincere
hope that I can improve inter-
national understanding by
deducting the entire cost of my
mission, including beer, on my
income taxes.

Today. I present Part One of
my two-part report on this
year's mission, which took me
to The Netherlands, which
some people call "Holland," or,
if they are very lost,
"Czechoslovakia."

At one time, large areas of
The Netherlands were actually
covered by the sea, but over the
centuries, the hard-working
Dutch have turned these areas
into dry land. How did they do
this? By stealing chunks of
other countries. Groups of
Dutch persons, posing as
tourists, would travel abroad
and return with large suitcases
filled with dirt, which they
would use to form Netherlands
(literally, "dirt piles"). By the
time the rest of the world real-
ized what was happening, the
nation of Luxembourg, which

at one time was larger than
Germany, had shrunk to the
size of a volleyball court,
which it remains to this day.

No, I'm kidding. The Dutch
actually drained the water off
the Netherlands by building a
very clever network of canals
and dikes, which today are held
firmly in place by roughly 23
million cows. A key element of
this network is the famous
windmills, which, by utilizing
the wind to turn giant sails,
attract tourists, who in turn buy
the cheese produced by cows,
thus completing the ecological
cycle.

The Netherlands is beautiful,
and the Dutch are a friendly,
funny, low-key people who are
not opposed to beer. As an
added bonus, everybody in The
Netherlands, including dogs,
speaks English more fluently
than, for example, Dan Quayle.

This is a good thing, because
the Dutch language has some
kind of design problem, such
that when Dutch people pro-
nounce the letter "g," which
appears three or four times in
the average Dutch word, they
sound like they are hawking up
a loogie the size of a cocker
spaniel. Also, many Dutch
words are too long to be safely
pronounced by amateurs. For

example, if you tried to say the
Dutch word for "youth hostel
warden," which is "jeugdher-
bergbeheerder," you'd run out
of oxygen somewhere around
the 15th syllable and fall into a
canal.

USEFUL FACT FOR TRAV-
ELERS: The Dutch term for
"skee ball" is "skee ball."

The Dutch unit of currency is
the "guilder," which you obtain
by going to one of the many
money-changing places found
in Europe, surrounded by
Americans who have given
valuable American money to
the person in the booth and are
now looking with alarm at col-
orful, odd-sized pieces of paper
that for all they know are cere-
al coupons that the person in
the booth has given them as a
prank.

Once you change your
money, it's time to see the

country. The best way to see
any foreign country is to get on
a bus filled with other tourists
and be driven to a castle, cathe-
dral or other Famous Historic
Thing, which you'll recognize
by the fact that it's surrounded
by a rumbling herd of tour
buses. Then you get out of
your bus, take a photo of your-
self standing in front of the
Famous Historic Thing, buy
souvenirs, consume snacks and
use the scary foreign toilets.
Also, if you have time, you
should read the plaque explain-
ing that the Historic Thing was
constructed in 1158 and went
through many historic events
before burning to the ground in
1953, to be replaced by the
Authentic Reconstruction that
you are looking at now.

In The Netherlands, I joined a
tour group going to see the
famous cheese market in
Alkmaar, a picturesque city
where the Dutch market cheese
in a historic and photogenic
way. It was a beautiful day,
and my group was joined in
Alkmaar by basically every
other group on the Eurasian
continent. We had to fight our
way through the crowd, trading
elbow jabs with enemy tours,
but we finally reached the
front, where we were rewarded

Golden Eagles Host Rams on "Family Day"

Courtesy of Sports Information

Last Saturday Clarion had regionally
ranked New Haven on the ropes in the
fourth quarter before bowing 28-21 at
Memorial Stadium. This Saturday,
September 18, Clarion will host the 1998
NCAA Division II Quarterfinalist
Shepherd College at Memorial Stadium.
Kickoff will be at 2 p.m. for a game that
will also serve as "Family Day".

Clarion, under sixth year head coach
Malen Luke, lost a tough 28-21 decision to
New Haven (ranked 6th in the East
Region) in the home opener. Down 21-7 to
start the fourth quarter, the Golden Eagles
rallied to tie the game 21-21 on two td
passes form Jeff Cappa to Andy Pore.
Clarion had a chance to take the lead with
3:39 to go with a 5 1 -yard field goal attempt
from Frank VanWert, but a bad snap foiled
any attempt. New Haven then went 66-
yards for the winning score. Clarion's
defense held UNH's vaunted offense to
only 219 yards of ^ffrnse on the day.

Coach Luke has a 6-year record of 27-29 at
Clarion, and a collegiate record of 64-50 in
12 seasons.

Shepherd, led by 13 year coach Monte
Cater, enters the game with a 1-1 overall
record in 1999. The Rams lost their season
opener 24-21 to Shippensburg, then
rebounded last week to defeat East
Stroudsburg in double overtime 33-27.
Last year Shepherd was 10-2 overall,
defeated IUP in the first round of the
NCAA Playoffs 9-6 and lost to Slippery
Rock in the second round 30-21. Cater has
notched a career record at Shepherd of 77-
49-1, while posting a collegiate record of
108-72-2 in 19 years as head coach.

"Shepherd is a quality team that has
almost everyone back from last year," stat-
ed Clarion's head coach Malen Luke. "On
offense they feature one of the best backs
in the country in Damian Beane, but also
have the weapons to throw the football.
We had a great effort against New Haven
last week but six turnovers proved too
costly. We have to protect the football bet-

ter and continue to play strong defensively
to win against Shepherd this week," Luke
added.

Clarion's offense posted 238 yards total
offense last week, getting 97 on the ground
and 141 through the air. At quarterback,
Jeff Cappa is expected to start. He com-
pleted 9 of 16 aerials for 81 yards and two
touchdowns. Also seeing action will be
Adam Almashy who connected on 6 of 15
for 60 yards and one touchdown.

Top targets will be tight end Andy Pore
(7 catches, 66 yards, 3 td's), and wideouts
Dave Hilderbrand (2 grabs, 36 yards),
Roosevelt Benjamin ( 3 catches, 19 yards),
and Ryan DeSimone (1 reception, 5 yards).
The running game will feature half backs
Demetric Gardner (2 rushes, 16 yards, 1
catch 9 yards), and Glenn Allen (2 carriers,
10 yards, 1 reception, 6 yards), plus tail-
backs Keonte Campbell (5 attempts, 26
yards) and Doug Dudash (9 rushes, 23
yards).

FOOTBALL! Clarion will meet
again with Shepherd this Saturday .
Story from page 15.

Clarion's defense turned in a stellar per-
formance against New Haven. The
Chargers were limited to 219 total yards,
including 63 rushing and 156 passing. The
week before UNH got 533 against
Bloomsburg.

Leading the way up front are down line-
men Doug Diegelman (1 sack), Bill Bums
(5 hits, 2 til's, 1 sack), Andre Williams (5
stops, 2 sacks) and Erik Williams (2 slops).
The outside linebackers are definitely
strong with Ryan Presutti (9 tackles, 1 til)
and Mike Maguire (6 stops, 2 sacks) on the
prowl. Inside the Eagles are also talented
with Brett Wiley (9 hits, 2 uTs) and Jason
Cappa (4 jolts) anchor the "D".

The secondary played a strong game
against a quality passing team last
Saturday. Strong safeties Roosevelt
Benjamin (5 tackles, 2 intercepts) and
George Eardley (3 tackles) team up with
free safety Chris Janson (5 hits, 1 fumble
caused) in the last line of defense. The cor-
ners will be Kervin Charles (1 theft) and
Theron Williams (2 tackles).

Shepherd's offense is averaging 27 points
and 390 yards of offense per game. The
Rams average 197.5 rushing yards and

192.5 passing yards per contest.

Leading the offense is Harlon Hill
Candidate and Ail-American running back
Damian Beane. In 1999, he has toted the
pigskin 62 times for 256 yards and 2 touch-
downs. Last year he gained 1,775 and 17
touchdowns on 299 carries. The senior has
totaled 4,979 yards and 47 touchdowns on
838 carries in his great career. Jerit Siedor
has also run the ball 19 times for 108 yards.
Veteran quarterback Matt Davis has com-
pleted 34 of 58 passes for 385 yards and 4
touchdowns. Last year he connected on
134 of 254 passes for 1,884 yards and 17
touchdowns.

The receiving corps features Jason Dining
(13 grabs, 169 yards, 2 td's) and Jason
Siedor (5 catches, 63 yards, 2 td's), along
with Terence Robinson (5 receptions, 59
yards) and tight end Dan Woodward (4
catches, 32 yards).

Shepherd's defense is giving up 25.5
points per game, along with 310.5 yards of
total offense. Enemy offenses are averag-
ing 96.5 rushing yards and 214 passing
yards per game.

The defensive line features Jonathan
Hibbard (10 tackles, 1 sack) at noseguard
and Matt Roark (9 stops, 1 sack) at tackle,
with Chris Field (9 hits) and Chris Wheeler
(8 jolts, 1 sack) at the ends.

Inside linebackers Mike Pitts (24 stops, 2
sacks, 2 tfl's) and James Riley (23 tackles;
2 til's, 1 sack) lead the team in hits, with
outside linebacker Chanse Twyman (9 hits)
also active.

The secondary returns intact from the
1998 with Chris Alcala (7 tackles, 2 break-
ups) and James Rooths at the corners.
Strong safety Tyron Shelby (19 tackles, 1
int) and free safety Keith Jefferson (11
stops) anchor the last line of defense.

This is only the second meeting between
the two schools. In last year's exciting
game Shepherd prevailed 27-20. Beane
had an exceptional game rushing for 254
yards and 2 td's on 34 carries. He also
caught 3 passes for 24 yards.

Clarion had 309 yards of offense, includ-
ing Alvin Slaughter's 8 catches for 144
yards and 1 touchdown. Chris Weibel was
12 of 28 for 165 yards. Shepherd took a 21-
lead in the second quarter after James
Rooths returned a punt 68 yards for a score.
Clarion scored on a 67 yard pass from
Weibel to Slaughter, a 68 yard fake punt run
from Ryan Presutti and Brett Wiley's 37
yard blocked punt return.

Clarion is home the next two weeks. The
Golden Eagles host Kutztown at 1 p.m. on
September 25, then open the PSAC-West play
against Slippery Rock on Homecoming
Weekend, October 2, 1999.

Clarion's running Eagles were spotted at
the California University Invitational this
past Saturday. Both the men and women
finished fifth among the competition.
"Overall, it was a good season opener and I
am looking forward to another great sea-
son," remarked Head Cross Country Coach,
Pat Mooney.

In the Men's 8K, the team was led by sec-
ond year runner Ean King (28:40), eighth
overall. King finished first for the team
consistently last fall and is hopeful for this
year as well. Returner and Senior Mark

Trzyna (29th) finished next for the team fol-
lowed by Captain Jon Fox (30th) and John
"Gus" Copely. Newcommers Gerry Smith,
Rich Burquander, and Toby Smrekar com-
piled the remainder of the top seven.

For the Women's 5K, fourth year runner
Daria Diaz took the lead, finishing eleventh
with the time of 20:52. Close behind was
Captain Maureen Long (18th) and Kelly
Null (22nd). Returners Linda Bryce and
Wendy Kengor followed. Keri McGinnis
and Renee Flora finished their race for
Clarion in the top seven.

Next week, the team continues their run at
various locations. One group will compete
at Slippery Rock, and the other will attend
Penn State Berend's Invitational.

Modrejewski returns to Clarion this year
after leaving in 1995.

Al Modrejewski, 37, part of the men's
basketball staff at Clarion from 1990-
1995, has been named assistant men's
basketball coach at Clarion University.
Modrejewski comes to Clarion from
East Stroudsburg University where he
was the assistant men's basketball
coach for the last two seasons. At
Clarion, Modrejewski replaces Mike
Power, who was named head coach at
East Stroudsburg University over a
month ago.

"It's great to come home again," stat-
ed a smiling Modrejewdki. "I was for-
tunate to have coached here at Clarion
for six years under the man I consider

my mentor in the business, Ron
Righter. It's great to be back and I
look forward to the challenges the
position brings. I want to do a great
job for coach Righter and Clarion bas-
ketball," Modrejewski added.

Head Coach Ron Righter is extreme-
ly happy to have Al back at Clarion.
"Al is a very dedicated and hard work-
ing coach. He is an outstanding and
relentless recruiter whose enthusiasm
for the game is very contagious,"

added Righter.
Modrejewski, a native of Pittsburgh,

Pa. and a 1980 graduate of Thomas
Jefferson High, is a 1985 graduate of
Alliance College. He was an assistant
at Alliance in 1985, coached at St.
Mary's (Orchard Lake, Michigan) in
1986-87, was an assistant under Jerry
Conboy at Point Park from 1987-89,
spent years at Clarion (90-95), was
assistant coach at Pitt-Johnstown (96-
97-NCAA Division II Playoffs both
seasons) and East Stroudsburg (98-99)
before returning to Clarion.

A strong recruiter, Modrejewski' s top
recruit during his first stay at Clarion
was Ail-American and NCAA Division
II scoring champion Kwame Morton
(91-94). Morton led Division II in

APSCUF files lawsuit against State System

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

The Association of Pennsylvania
State College and University
Faculties (APSCUF) filed a law-
suit against the State System of
Higher Education earlier this
week.

A plan has been introduced by
the State System to have the fac-
ulty union agree to a contract
extension pending the outcome of
the lawsuit.

According to Ken Marshall,
Press Secretary for the State
System, the lawsuit, which con-
tains the State System proposal to
alter the rate at which some facul-
ty at the 1 4 state owned universi-

ties are awarded automatic, raises
is inconsistent with the law. The
outcome of the lawsuit could
affect the bargaining position and
on-going contract negotiations
with APSCUF which represents
approximately 5,500 faculty.

Next Friday, in Harrisburg, a
hearing will be held on
APSCUF's petition.

"We are working extremely
hard to avoid a strike and the
harm it would cause our stu-
dents," said Chancellor James H.
McCormick. "Given the uncer-
tainty caused by the APSCUF
lawsuit, we believe it would be in
everyone's best interest to agree
to an extension of the contract
until the matter is resolved."

The State System of Higher
Education in August offered to
extend the terms of the expired
contract with APSCUF through
December 3 1 and was denied.

This contract extension would
have allowed the State System
and faculty union to continue
negotiations without the threat of
a strike to more than 95,000 stu-
dents at the 1 4 SSHE universities.
This extension would guarantee
that classes not be interrupted
during the fall semester.

A substantially revised propos-
al was presented by APSCUF to
the Board of Govenors' negotia-
tors on Friday, September 17.
Board negotators would not be
able to respond to the proposal

until at least next week so the ses-
sion didn't last into Friday
evening.

The new APSCUF proposal rec-
ommends lowering the salary
demand to 3.75%, 3.75% and
3.9% in each of the three years
from the previous four-year pro-
posal of 4%, 4.25%, 4.25% and
4.75%. The proposal also offered
to eliminate the four year waiting
period to reach the highest step in
effect eliminating the lowest
salary steps.

APSCUF said the proposal was
made the failure of the Board's
response to its last proposal
because the faculty felt a moral
obligation to their students to do
all they can to avoid a strike

despite the Board's intransigence.
A strike-authorization vote is to
be held on Monday, September 27
and Tuesday, September 28 on
each of the campuses. This vote
would give the union leadership
the authority to call for a work
stoppage at any time.

Although similar votes have
been taken during previous nego-
tiations they have not resulted in a
walkout. The State System faculty
have never gone on a strike.

The State System of Higher
Education is the largest provider
of higher education in the
Commonwealth. Its 1 4 universi-
ties offer more than 250 degrees
and certificate programs in more

Well, it's that time of year
again.. .Autumn Leaf Festival (or
ALF, as anyone who's been here
for more than a few weeks affec-
tionately calls it) has rolled
around once again. Next week,
the streets of Clarion will be
crowded with more food stands
than you can shake a slice of
greasy pizza at, and even more
people. Last year, ALF was the
winner of the International
Festival and Events Association's
bronze medal in the category for
festivals under $500,000.
Topping that achievement is no

small order, but ALF never
disappoints. This year's
theme is "An Autumn Mardi
Gras." This year also
promises two very big
events: the first annual;
Foodstock, which could put
Clarion in the record books,
and the appearance of 'N:
Sync's Chris Kirkpatrick as
the parade's Grand Marshall. \
The 46th annual Autumn
Leaf Festival will kick off on
Saturday, September 25th with the
Miss Junior Teen ALF pageant
and the Miss Teen ALF pageant,
at Clarion Area High School at
7:30 pm. Also happening on
Saturday is the C-93 Junior
Olympics at CUP stadium at 1:00

and the "For the Love of Clarion

On Sunday, the S&T Autorama
will grace Main Street from 7:00
am to 4:45 pm, and there will be a
free rock and roll oldies concert
by 'Johnny Angel and the Halos'
at the stadium at 6:00pm.
Following the concert will be a

fireworks display spon-
sored by Eat-N-Park.

On Monday, the 5th
annual Clarion University
and Community Cultural
Night will start up its
week-long run. Featured
will be an international
fashion show, gospel
music, bagpipes; African-
American, Asian,
Australian, Irish, and

Need escorted? Vfell, don't
call Public Safety

So, you are at Wilkinson Hall and it is 11 p.m. You
need to head to Becker to print the final copy of your
paper. And all of your friends aren't around. Who you
gonna call to walk you? Public Safety? Wrong. Well,
you would have last year.

This year, the service has been eliminated. We don't
know why. Last week Public Safety Director David
Tedjeske said he wanted to be "serviceable to the stu-
dents." Maybe they didn't hear about the assaults that
occurred here last year. That's right.. .in Clarion.

Additionally, students who must park at the stadium
aren't exactly close to campus. It's quite a hike.

The problem we have is that Clarion is marketing
itself to the parents and freshman orientation students
by saying that this type of service is offered. What
escort service?

We want to know why the service was eliminated in
the first place. Although not many students may use
the escort service, it needs to be there for those that
do. Whether one or two.

Also, why don't many people know that the service
is no longer available? How are students supposed to
be informed? We think this was a bad decision all
around.

First, they didn't listen when we said not to have
parking at the stadium. We still don't have a bus ser-
vice. And now, the only thing that Public Safety is
doing to be "serviceable" is handing out a slew of
parking tickets. Wow. Really helpful.

Bottom line is in order to be "serviceable" to the
university you need to understand student needs. And,
even if you are there for one person, that is what
makes you "serviceable" to everyone.

Your Views
State System Responds

Classes are back in session for the more than
95,000 students who attend Pennsylvania's 14 state-
owned universities. The new semester is filled with
uncertainty, however, because of the threat of a fac-
ulty strike that could empty at least some of those
classrooms, disrupting the State System of Higher
Education's mission of providing high quality educa-
tion at an affordable cost.

The strike threat is being used by the union that
represents the 5,550 professors at the State System
universities as leverage in ongoing contract talks.
Such an action would be extremely harmful to our
students, whose future is in our hands.

The State System has attempted to remove that
threat by offering unconditionally to extend the
terms of the recently expired contract with the
Association Of Pennsylvania State College and
University Faculties (APSCUF) through December
31. Unfortunately, APSCUF has rejected our offer,
denying students and their families the reassurance
they deserve that classes will not be interrupted this
fall.

The faculty union has suggested instead that should
the two sides not be able to reach an agreement by
December 31, the issue be submitted to the last-best
offer, binding arbitration. Such drastic action has
never been needed in the nearly quarter century in

which the state owned universities have been bar-
gaining with their faculty.

Binding arbitration would mean a disinterested
third party would step in and determine the terms of
the next contract. This third party would have
absolutely no accountability for the impact of his/her
decision on the State System's ability to continue to
meet its primary mission of providing the highest
quality education at the lowest possible cost. We
believe the best way to achieve a new contract that is
both fair and reasonable is for both sides to continue
good faith bargaining. It always has worked in the
past and there is no reason it won't work again.

It is difficult to understand why the faculty union is
resorting to a potential strike strategy, given the fact
that its members already are among the best paid fac-
ulty in the nation and that it has been presented with
a very fair offer.

The average nine-month salary for full-time State
System faculty at all ranks as of last October was
$59,428. The highly competitive salaries and excel-
lent benefits package our faculty receive reflect the
State System's commitment to attracting and retain-
ing outstanding professors, of whom we are extreme-
ly proud.

It is a commitment the State System is continuing

"Them was something

about John 's results

which were jusL*So

CooL"

William Barnes

Why Science is Cool

Several years ago I spent a sab-
batical in the Biology
Department at Colorado State
University retraining in Plant
Molecular Biology. One night the
Post-Doc in our Lab, Amy
Rubinstein, and I were working
late. At about 11 o'clock John
Bowser, a grad student from the
next lab, came charging over to
tell us that after eleven months of
trying he had finally been able to
make his experiments work - we
had to come look now! Amy and
I rolled our eyes at each other, but
we went and looked at John's
cells. Then we stayed up talking
about papers and new experi-
ments until finally, at 2 a.m. we
each drove home through the dark
and empty streets of Fort Collins.
There was something about
John's results which were just....
So Cool!

Now most people find plants
stultifyingly boring except for the
few wildflower enthusiasts who
tend to be lumped together with
an effete class which includes
cafe latte' drinkers, quiche eaters,
and NPR listeners. And
Molecular Biology is often
regarded with the same morbid
fascination as a poisonous snake -
completely foreign and weirdly
fascinating, but evil and menac-

ing. So with two strikes against it,
why was it that each of us felt
such an inability to put it down?
What is it about plant molecular
biology, about all science really,
which is so ineffably "cool"?
It certainly is not because sci-
ence is "fun". This is one of the
most egregious of many misap-
prehensions about science -
although it is encouraged by the
clubby, insider slang of the sci-
ence culture itself which refers to
research in just these terms.
Science is actually a discipline,
which produces satisfaction out of
effort and sacrifice. In this sci-
ence is not unlike most other artis-
tic self-flagellation's. A story
alleged about Artur Rubinstein is
that after one concert a woman
gushed to him "I would give any-
thing to play like you", to which
the famous pianist austerely
replied "I have, but you have not."
Of course having "fun" in a
research lab is certainly not
impossible. For example one day
we got an order of Taq DNA
Polymerase (a volume of this stuff
half the size of a human tear costs
$100 and comes packaged with
dry ice in a box big enough for 6-
pack of beer). Alice

'K^that living on
campus is akin to liv-
ing in a Polish ghetto
inl940's Germany;"

Keith B. Gwillim, Lifestyles Editor

Here's a hypothetical situation
for you: someone (let's call him
the "Lifestyles Editor") was inno-
cently sitting in his room, relax-
ing after a stressful day by watch-
ing Keanu Reeves kick some
computer butt in The Matrix. He
decides that the air in his dorm
room (read: cramped cubicle)
needs some freshening up. So, he
lights a stick of incense.
Unfortunately, he forgets that liv-
ing on campus is akin to living in
a Polish ghetto in 1940's
Germany; and within a matter of
minutes, one of the S.S. RAs
smells the harmless scent, and
confiscates the 'contraband.'

If I may speak frankly, what the
hell? Not only were the items
taken away, but disciplinary sanc-
tions were brought ? Why all the
fuss over what amounts to a stick
covered with powdered perfume?
It's a Chanel No. 5 corn dog, and
you can receive this level of pun-
ishment for it? The reason given
by the University for this is that it
is considered a fire hazard. I'm
sorry, but you really have to try
hard to set something on fire with
an incense stick. If I was going to

burn down my dorm room, I'd go
buy a flamethrower.

And how much of a fire hazard
is incense compared to other
items we miraculously are
allowed to have on campus?
People own lighters, and some
dorms have smoking rooms
and/or lounges. How many times
have you heard of someone
falling asleep with a lit cigarette
and burning down their house?
Now, how many times have you
heard the same thing about
incense? The University seems to
have no problem with people
plugging 5 power strips into 1
ouUet, an action I'm sure Fire
Marshall Bill would frown upon a
lot more than incense.

Let's take another look at some
items that are not allowed in the
dungeon.. .oh sorry, dorms. Why
can't we have toasters? We can
have coffee pots and hotpots, so
why not them? Microwaves are
only allowed if you order them in
a microfridge, through a company
I'm sure is giving the University
money. Halogen bulbs are not
allowed, and that's one that really

OPINION

Student speaks
out on the faculty
labor dispute

Dear Editor,

I think it was three years ago that I wrote a letter to you about the same
subject as I'm about to write about now. A fact that I find rather sad. So,
this goes to all the teachers out there...again.

Teachers, educators, professors, whatever you want to call them, are one
of the lowest paid professions today. These are the people who gave us or
are giving us the education we need to make it in this world. It really both-
ers me that they get treated so badly. How would the administration
proposing all the 'needed' change feel if we wanted to cut their medical by
50 percent? How would they feel if we said more of their staff needs to be
on a temporary basis? I honestly don't think that they would stand for it
So, why do our teachers have to?

I know that in my lifetime I've had teachers that I will never forget. Mrs.
Haugh, my high school math teacher, Dr. Rumsey, a recently retired profes-
sor from Clarion, Ed Powers, a Clarion professor, Mrs. Linnan, (my mom),
who I had for two months in seventh grade life science and in my life for
twenty three wonderful years. She has taught many, who'll agree with me
when I say, she's one of the best teachers this state has to offer.

These people support and have supported me from the day I walked into
their classrooms. So, I should just sit down and keep my mouth shut when
they are being treated so badly? I don't think so. These people deserve so
much more in life because they provide us with a means to living. They
give us knowledge and knowledge is power. Teachers are worth more than
all the money in the world. A good teacher deserves respect, gratitude, and
support from us.

Support the professors. Sign their petitions. Write to the Governor.
Show the teachers who care about us, that we care about them.

One more thing, then I'll step off the soapbox. I just wanted to say to all
my teachers, professors, mentors.... thank you.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth A. Linnan

bums my tail feathers. Sure, they generate a lot of heat, but so do black lights,
which are allowed.

Even inmates in jails are allowed items like incense and candles, if it's con-
sistent with a religious belief. I seriously doubt the University would make the
same concessions. People wonder why so many students migrated to the
unfinished Eagle Park, but I don't Hell, I'd take an unfinished room with holes
in the drywall that allows you to have basic personal rights over the dorms any
day. The University wonders why so many students are choosing alternative
housing; for the answer, look no further than the end of this editorial. Look,
I'm not whining and saying I'm completely without fault I stepped up to the
card table, putmy money down, and lost my hand My point is that the game
shouldn't have been played in the first place. Damn the Man.

OPINION

MCCORMICKI Impact of faculty strike could affect business in communities in the
SSHE, from Page 3.

with competitive contract offers
that have been repeatedly spumed
by faculty union negotiators. The
State System's most recent offer
would provide salary increases of
up to 16.5 percent over the next
three years, while maintaining all
benefits at their current levels.

APSCUFs latest proposal,
meanwhile, would grant an
already well-compensated faculty
increases of up to 37.25 percent
over four years. That would
amount to almost four times the
annual rate of inflation each year.

What does the contract math
mean for Pennsylvania families
and students?

The State System has been
working hard to keep all of its
costs under control, for the bene-
fit of both our students and
Pennsylvania taxpayers. Our
1999-2000 budget represents a
total spending increase of only
3.2 percent overthe last year.
That includes $17 million more in
state funding than the amount
received in 1998-99. The state
appropriation provides about half
of the money needed to operate
the State System universities.

Meanwhile, the faculty union's
latest proposal would increase the
State System's costs by more than
$200 million over four years -
more than $50 million annually.

The State System's offer, if
accepted by the faculty, would
ensure that both quality and
affordable education would con-
tinue to be offered, without inter-
ruption, at the 14 state owned uni-
versities. That is what our stu-
dents deserve. They will be the
ones who suffer the most if a
strike occurs, or if we can't better
manage our costs.

The impact of a faculty strike
also would be felt in each of the
communities that is home to a
State System university. Places
such as Bloomsburg, Millers ville
and Shippensburg, to name just a
few.

In 1998 alone, the State System
generated more than $2.2 billion
for the Commonwealth's econo-
my. Local business owners look
forward to the return of students
to the State System campuses,
which also employ thousands of
people around the state. The State
System universities also serve as

cultural centers, providing arts,
entertainment and sporting events
that are enjoyed by the residents
of their surrounding communities.
It is my hope that the faculty
union will recognize, as the State
System does, that a strike is not
the answer. A strike would bene-
fit no one and would harm thou-
sands. Instead of using a strike as
a "weapon" against the very stu-
dents they teach every day, the
faculty union should focus its
efforts on good faith bargaining,
aimed at achieving an agreement
that is both fair and reasonable for
all. The State System is commit-
ted to doing just that.

tiations, please visit the State

APSCUF Representative
comments on labor dispute

Dear Editor,

On September 10, the State
System of Higher Education
rejected APSCUF's proposal
for binding arbitration on all
contract issues that are still
unresolved on December 31,
1999. Under this proposal, an
independent arbitrator would
study the final offers of
APSCUF and the State System
and choose between them. The
chosen package would
become part of the contract
for those issues.

The position of Clarion-
APSCUF is that if the state's
offer is so reasonable and fair,
then why reject the best offer,
binding arbitration? APSCUF
is willing to put its last pro-
posal on unresolved issues out
for consideration at the end of
the fall semester and believes

that the SSHE's unwillingness
to do the same is an indication
that they know their proposal
is unreasonable.

Had the SSHE accepted the
binding arbitration proposal,
APSCUF would have guaran-
teed that there would not be a
strike in the fall.

Recent negotiating sessions
have produced virtually no
positive results, even with the
assistance of a mediator. If the
remaining two scheduled ses-
sions (September 16 and 17
and September 30 and October
1) continue in this pattern,
Clarion-APSCUF will be pre-
pared for possible job action.
We have a strike team in
place and have secured an off-
campus site for our headquar-
ters. The strike authorization
vote will occur at all 14 sys-

tem universities on September
27-28. What happens after this
is completely dependent upon
what transpires in the final
scheduled negotiating ses-
sions.

Students should stay
informed on the issues and the
progress of negotiations by
checking the APSCUF web
site (www.apscuf.com, the
What's New/Newscenter

Update area).

Chemistry had told her it was possible to make a "bubble monster" by
dumping dry ice into a beaker of soapy water. As the dry ice sublimes
into gaseous CO2, it had nothing to do with science; we made no

attempt to relate it to the physical chemistry of surface tension or the
mathematics which describe the size or the curvature of the bubbles. It
was fun- but it was also just screwing around.

Science is hard, like a sonnet which must express the same ideas and
sensibilities as any other form of poetry, but in a highly disciplined
form. Like poets, scientists must have good ideas, and they must be
expressed in the rigorous art of technical writing and quantitative
graphs. But this is not enough. Contrary to many other intellectual cul-
tures, mere clever ideas are never celebrated- the very thought makes a
scientist squirm. Ideas must above all be real, and instead of celebra-
tion, every effort is made to destroy them by experiment. This in turn
presents even more difficulties because in the dirty real world it is quite
hard to make experiments work. It has been said that 80% of the work
in science is finding the right test tube - by which is meant inventing an
experiment which works in a precise, quantitative and reproducible
way. This requires ingenuity, persistence, tolerance for frustration, and
time. So what is the attraction of such a seemingly masochistic endeav-
or for people like John Bowser? What makes science cool?

For one thing, the answer to a question in science has the ordered
beauty of a crunching proof in Geometry - although of course it is 3 -
dimensional and at the same time dynamic rather than static. Each
piece of a good answer meets the others to reinforce the strength of the
whole, and from any perspective. It has the clean, pure beauty and bal-
ance of Mondrian abstract painting.

At the end of it all is the satisfaction that what you find must be
REAL. Contemporary Relativists, if I do not misrepresent them, main-
tain that intellectual works are simply constructs of culture and lan-
guage, and they have no objective value or permanence. These are
sophisticated critiques and deserve to be considered seriously. Even so,
the modern science invented in the seventeenth century, and perfected
in the nineteenth, has a sense of being much more robust Twenty first
century biotechnology still rests four-square on the revelations of uni-
versal order described by the laws of Physics and Chemistry worked out
more than two hundred years ago. A worker in the natural sciences, if
she has produced something truly first rate (which most scientists never
do), has much reason for confidence that her work will not decline in
scientific value as cultural fashions change. Scientists have not only the
daily bread of laboratory experiment, but for them the transcendent
belief in an intellectual after-life remains bright

Upcoming library renovations the topic of discussion at Student Senate meeting

by Kristie Linden
t Clarion Cafl staff Writer

At the Monday night Senate
meeting, it was announced that
Senator Katy Fijalkovic resigned
her position and was replaced by
Bryan Marley.

Senator Dani Jo Close, chair of
Student Facilities, met with Dr.
Karp, Interim Director of
Libraries, to discuss the renova-
tions of Carlson Library. During
her report, Close described what
students will need to know about
the location and availability of
library resources.

The plan now calls for spreading
resources across campus.

The Gemmell Multi-purpose
room will be the reference room,
housing all 72 computers and all

videos and CD's from the instruc-
tion room.

There will also be all magazines
from the most recent year, print
stations and seating for 30 people.
The Multi-purpose room will
have staff on hand to make two
runs daily for materials that stu-
dents may need.

The student fitness center cur-
rently in Gemmell will move to
the new recreational center. The
fitness center will contain all
microfilms as well as children's
textbooks.

The basement of Davis Hall and
the second floor of Moore Hall
will house library staff.

An old store on Main Street will
hold other books and each depart-
ment will hold their individual
departmental books.

Becker Hall will hold library
equipment that students may bor-
row, and a classroom will be used
for library instruction.

Dr. Karp told Senator Close that
there are benefits to this plan. The
renovations will only have to take
one year instead of two, saving
$600,000. This money will go
towards improvements for the
library.

The Sanford art gallery in
Marwick-Boyd will be moved to
the library after construction and
made wheelchair accessible.

The library renovations are
scheduled to begin in May of
2000.

Senate president Leslie Suhr
announced during her report that
University President Dr. Reinhard
will be giving a presentation on a

plan for an alternative transporta-
tion system among the county and
the university to campus, which
will hopefully alleviate parking
problems.

During the Appropriations
Committee report, Treasurer
Brain Sowa made two motions for
the allocations of funds to two
groups.

The Senate voted to give $1,250
to Interhall Council for members
to attend a regional conference in
Cincinnati.

The Senate then voted to give
$885 to the National Student
Speech Language and Hearing
Association. All funds allocated
during the meeting came from the
supplemental account.

A representative for the
University Activities Board

(UAB), Senator Ben Chervenak,
announced that on November 7,
MTV's Fall Campus Invasion
Tour will be coming to Clarion.

Garbage and Lit will hit the
stage and there will be Real World
and Road Rules casting tryouts,
among other activities.

During the Student Relations
Committee report, Senator Mathis
gave details about this year's
Social Equity Dinner. This year's
theme will be Civility and
Tolerance.

The dinner will be held on
Wednesday, Nov. 17, at 7 p.m. in
the Gemmell Multi-purpose room.
The next Student Senate meet-
ing will be held Monday, Sept. 27
at 7:30 p.m. in 246 Gemmell.

Changes in choices at food court in Chandler chase away long lines of past

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Staff Writer

•••••••••••••■••••••••••■••••••••••a

New food choices and a new
look are two changes that are now
evident at Chandler Dining Hall.

A $1.2 million renovation pro-
ject converted the cafeteria into an
open food court.

The improvements were
financed through an $800,000
investment by Chartwell with the
University Food Service
Auxiliary picking up the remain-
der of the cost.

"It is expensive to create a food
court area. The process involved
some major demolition of previ-
ous partitions, installing new
restrooms, and changing
entry/exit areas of the building,"
said Dr. George Curtis, vice pres-
ident for student affairs.

This year here is a selection of
five different menus compared to
the four they had last semester.

It is set up so customers can
move from line to line easier than
walking around the building.

"Now our customers will have
access to all menu choices in one
area," says Lonnie Gilbert, direc-

tor of food services.

The menus include a traditional
section which includes ham,
turkey, roast beef, potatoes and

side dishes.

A second area is the deli where
sandwich can be custom made on
special types of bread, including
wraps, wedges, and pitas.

A third menu selection is the
grill central which contains a new
flame broil oven to cook ham-
burgers. In addition, this area will
have hot dogs and french fries.

A fourth menu item is the pasta
and pizza line. This area contains
everything from pizza to rigatoni
with meatballs.

A fifth menu item and something
new this year for Chandler Dining
hall is the menu entertainment.

This line will feature a weekly
specialty. Some of the specialties
this semester may be Mexican,
Southwestern, or even health
foods.

The renovation to the dining hall
brings jobs to Clarion.

According to Lonnie Gilbert, the
renovation helped the staff grow
in size from 120 to 141 employ-

Students at Clarion University is that they do like the changes

meals per week. you that new age feel.

"The food is better than last
year, it has a little more taste to
it," a Clarion junior said. The
cafeteria did change its look, but it
also upgraded the food.

If there is one problem stu-
dents are concerned about, it is
the lunch rush.

Every Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday at noon the cafeteria
is crowded, and it is hard to
make it to your one o'clock class
some on time.

But with the amount of people
Chandler Dining hall is feeding,
not much can be done about that.

The overwhelming response is
that the $1.2 million renovation
process was a success.

The renovation brought new
jobs, new choices for the stu-
dents, and a better variety of
food.

Harvey and Davis Halls receive facelifts

by A. A. Thompson

Assistant News Editor

By now, students and faculty
should be aware of the renova-
tions that are taking place on cam-
pus.

Presently both Davis and Harvey
Halls are vacant for improve-
ments. If everything goes accord-
ing to schedule, however, Davis
Hall should be reopened in
January. Harvey is expected to be
accessible next fall.

As for funding for these projects,

students are not paying for any of
the renovations. Funding was
made possible through grants, the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
and a portion of the universities
own money.

In fact, only a small amount of
the students are even affected by
the empty buildings. Davis was
primarily used as an office build-
ing, which housed such campus
organizations like Academic
Support. Academic Support has
been relocated to downstairs in
Campbell Hall.

The few classes that were locat-
ed in Davis for Communication
Sciences and Disorders, have
moved to the additional class-
rooms built in Keeling. No stu-
dents will have to adjust to any
inconvenient moves from Harvey,
since it wasn't normally used for
classes.

Most people seem content with
the plan for renovations despite
any inconvenience. According to
Dr. Heather Haberacker, of
Finance and Administration, "I
think the projects plus the library
renovations will really transform
what this campus looks like and
all for the better."

Simple Assault

According to Public Safety, 20-
year-old Theron Williams of
Hillard, Ohio was arrested on
charges of simple assault, dis-
orderly conduct, harassment,
underage drinking, and public
drunkenness, after shoving a
Public Safety Officer twice out-
side of Nair Hall on Sept. 20.
Clarion Borough police and the
Pennsylvania State Police
assisted in the incident, Public
Safety said.

Disorderly conduct

Public Safety charged 18-year-
old Travis Dock from Wilkinson
Hall for disorderly conduct on
Sept. 19. He was urinating
outside of Wilkinson Hall and
used obscence language to the
hall staff when being confront-
ed, according to Public Safety.

Public Drunkeness

According to Public Safety
Geoffrey Kinder was charged
on Sept. 17 for failing to
respond properly to charges of
public drunkenness and disor-
derly conduct.

Vandalism near resi-
dence hall

Public Safety received reports
of vandalism to the new side-
walk near Nair Hall on Sept.
16. The incident is under
investigation.

Students participating in

The local municipality has
developed a new noise ordi-

old codes. The new ordi-
nance is in effect for the non-

Prior to the issuing of this

1989.

Farnham, now a Florida res-
ident, has received much
recognition from a variety of
sources over her career; she
was hailed in Brazil by
Shopping Music magazine as
"the new voice of America"
and as a promising star "in the
top names of American pop
music." Florida's JAM
Magazine praises: "her vocals
absolutely soar." Both of her
CDs, 'For The Love Of It All'
and the new 'Live, Raw and
Solo' have received similar
critical acclaim. Northeast
Performer Magazine calls 'For
The Love Of It All' "soaring
self-inspiration. ..(displaying)
many strengths for Farnham as
writer, producer, singer, musi-
cian and all-around musical
talent." Producer Dennis
Hetzendorfer says "I've
worked with many artists and
Katherine is a stand-out. Her
time is due."

Florida also keeps this fine
artist busy as well, as she
maintains a busy touring
schedule, playing many dates
in Miami's Hard Rock Cafe,
South Beach's Marlin Hotel,
and appearances at the annual
Lovefest in Hollywood,
Florida. When she's not
singing the national anthem
for the Florida Marlins base-
ball team or the Miami
Fusion, she can usually be
found with the likes of Gloria

voice to backing vocals for
several artists.

In addition to her talents in
the singing and writing
aspects, Farnham has recently

Marvelous, magnificent, amaz-
ing.. ..Those were just some of the
comments being made after junior
Erin Kriebel, soprano, performed
on the Marwick-Boyd stage
Sunday afternoon. Erin is a music
education major with a voice that
would send chills down anyone's
spine.

"She is a stage performer. She
always has been. People will def-
initely see that after today," said
Erin's mother Peggy Kriebel.

Erin, who has been singing since
the age of two, sang a beautiful
version of 'Quando M'en Vo'
(from the opera La Bohem) along
with ten other songs including
'Ave, Maria,' a duet with Mindy

Richeson.

In the audience were friends and
family along with a whole row of
her sorority sisters who came to
show their support. "She's out-
standing! This is her dream and
she is definitely going to make it,"
says Amy Yjazdowski, her Theta
Phi Alpha sister.

Erin finished her performance
with 'Let My Song Fill Your
Heart,' which led not only a stand-
ing ovation but a few tears as well.

After the show I asked Erin
where she sees her gift of voice
taking her and she replied, "My
dream is to perform, but I could
also see myself teaching music to
others as well."

Twenty year old Kriebel says
whatever she decides to do, music
will definitely be in her future.

'Streak' stumbles

by Mike Cody
is Clarion Call Stofl [Writer.

As I've said before in this col-
umn, I see way too many movies.
That's all right, though.
Everybody has their own list of
guilty pleasures; movies happen
to be pretty high on mine. I even
enjoy writing about them. Hey, I
freely admit that it's kind of an
ego boost to know that one or two
readers might actually let my
review help them decide whether
or not they'll see a particular film.
Plus, it's a lot of fun to publicly
gush about my favorite films and

f^U

{ (

f In

completely rip apart the bad ones.
That's why movies like the new
Martin Lawrence comedy, 'Blue
Streak' leave me completely
dumbfounded. Normally, I can
work up enough of an emotional
involvement with a film to either
praise it endlessly or condemn its
makers for ever having dreamt up
such a worthless bucket of hog
sweat. But in the case of 'Blue
Streak,' I'm really thrown for a
loop: I didn't care about the film
while I was watching it and I still
don't care now.

'Blue Streak' follows the mis-
adventures of a jewel thief
(Lawrence) who, in the process of
stealing a diamond worth roughly
$17 million, is betrayed by a
greedy accomplice. While run-
ning from both his bloodthirsty
former partner and the Los
Angeles police, Lawrence
decides to hide the diamond in
the ventilation shaft of a building
that's still under construction.

Lawrence is eventually caught
by the LAPD and spends the next
two years in prison. Upon his
release, he returns home to find
that his former partner is hunting
him down, and the building
where he hid the stolen diamond
is now the downtown headquar-
ters of the LAPD. Eventually,
Lawrence disguises himself as a
police officer to gain access to the
building and finds himself roped
into becoming the head detective
of the robbery division.

That's where most of the origi-
nality ends. Lawrence, paired up
with a straight-laced rookie, uses
his street-smart attitude to
become the best cop on the force,
making busts by accident and
managing to fool everyone he
encounters. In other words, 'Blue
Streak' is a mildly entertaining
combination of every other
"buddy cop" and "fish out of
water" movie ever made.

'Blue Streak' has a few funny
moments, but they're few and far
between. Any danger that Martin
Lawrence's on-screen comedy
once had - for example, see his

scathing NC-17 comedy film
'You So Crazy' - has been nearly
sucked away. 'Blue Streak' prob-
ably is to Lawrence's movie
career what 'Vampire In
Brooklyn' was to Eddie Murphy's
just a few years ago. In other
words, a below-average showcase
for a talented and very funny
individual.

Dave Chapelle ('Half Baked'),
one of Hollywood's most under-
rated young comedians, wrings
laughs out of the thin material
he's provided with as part of the
supporting cast. Chapelle has a
few funny scenes as Lawrence's
friend, a dopey getaway driver
who never quite understands
what's going on. It's a shame that
Chapelle doesn't have a bigger
part in 'Streak,' since he was one
of the few cast members who kept
me awake and interested.

Even though I wasn't bowled
over by 'Blue Streak,' I didn't
really mind the film or any of its
incredibly implausible moments.
After all, I said to myself, "Who
cares? It's just a movie." But
when I thought about some of the
strange and mind-opening experi-
ences I've had in my twenty years
of moviegoing, I realized that
saying "It's just a movie" is prob-
ably the harshest criticism I could
ever give a film.

'Powerman' lacking Laid low in the Red Light District

by James Gates
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Powerman 5000 was one of the
eclectic rock bands on the hard
rock circuit that lacked an iden-
tity on their debut, 'Mega!
Kung Fu Radio.' This time
around, they found their identity,
but unfortunately, it's the wrong
one.

Overly cheesy and pathetically
horrifying, PM5K are destined
for the throwaway bin. While
trying to rip off lead singer
Spider's brother, Rob Zombie;
PM5K come off as a hopeless
wannabe cover band.

Every song has simplistic tech-
no bass-thumping verses, and
"sonic" choruses that fail to stir
any emotion or interest. Indeed,
Tonight The Stars Revolt' is not
PM5K's way to superstardom, as
every song sounds exactly like
the song before it. Even Rob
Zombie's presence, along with

DJ Lethal's, can't raise enough
of a stir to spark my interest.

The only semi-bright spot on
the album is a cover of Ric
Ocasek's (The Cars) 'Good
Times Roll." Sure PM5K
slaughtered the song, but it is a
good song nonetheless.

For those who made it out
early enough to the X-Fest this
summer, you probably saw a
great, high-energy, bouncy per-
formance by the band Liar's Inc.
For those who missed the show
or didn't care to go, you more
than likely have no clue as to
who Liar's Inc. are. Let me do
my best to describe them.

Virtually unknown a year ago,
Liar's Inc. has a sound that
crosses emo-core band Samiam
with alterna-rock favorite Fuel.
Still, can't we place them? Let
me put it this way: They Rock!

Their debut disk 'Superjaded'
starts off with the simplistic yet
catchy single 'Anybody.' The
album hits full throttle with the
barnburning single 'After I
Begin,' one of the catchiest, high
intensity post-punk songs
around. Also in that category
are 'Better' and 'Down In A
Hole,' which has a
Soundgarden-like sound, much
like 'Ty Cobb.'

The lyrics on the album aren't
anything to write to Jewel about,
but lead singer Raile sings them
in an effective manner, elevating
every poppy song to new levels.
The album is consistent through-
out, with nary a moment of filler
material. The disc ends with
'Darkest Days,' a tune catchy
enough to be a hit single, and
strong enough to force you to hit
the repeat button and play the
. album again.

'Super Jaded' by Liars Inc. has
impressed me enough to earn an
8 out of 10, since the disc hasn't
left my stereo yet. Meanwhile,
Tonight. The Stars Revolt' by
Powerman 5000 can only muster
a 2 out of 10 and is gonna get
sold ASAP.

Here is the second and final
part of my report on the fact-find-
ing mission I took to The
Netherlands this summer to
increase international under-
standing. My topic today is
Amsterdam, which is the largest
city in The Netherlands, unless it
is not (somebody should look this
up). Amsterdam, with its net-
work of picturesque canals lined
with rows of quaintly gabled
townhouses, is one of the prettier
cities in Europe; it's also one of
the most compact, which means
that you can set out from your
hotel on foot and, within minutes,
be struck by a bicyclist going 127
miles per hour (2, 038 kilometers
centigrade).

This happens because Dutch
people of all ages actually use
their bicycles for transportation,
unlike Americans, who, once
they pass the age 15, use their
bicycles mainly as housing for
spiders. The streets of
Amersterdam teem with
whizzing bicycles, sometimes
carrying two or even three peo-
ple, who often are holding pack-
ages, smoking cigarettes, talking
on cell phones, applying makeup
and generally behaving very
much like motorists on an
American interstate highway,
except that the Amsterdam
cyclists go much faster. I'm not
saying that a Dutch woman
cyclist carrying two small chil-
dren and a sack of groceries
would win the Indianapolis 500,
but she would definitely finish in
the top five.

As a thoughtful concession to
pedestrians, the Dutch cyclists all
have little bells on their handle-
bars that make a cute "cha-ching"
sound, which serves as a friendly
warning that you are about to die.
As a tourist in Amsterdam, you
quickly become conditioned to
react to this sound. A fun prank
would be to take a bicycle into a
crowded Amsterdam cafe and
ring it; all the tourists would
immediately dive to the floor.

Of course some of them might
already be on the floor, because
one very popular substance in the
Netherlands is beer. The Dutch
produce a lot of excellent beer,
which natives and tourists alike
consume in large quantities, in a
courageous and unselfish human-
itarian effort to keep this low-
lying country from flooding. And

beer is not the only substance that
people ingest over there. The
Dutch have a very open-minded,
live-and-let-live philosophy
about what consenting adults
should be allowed to do, such that
certain parts of Amsterdam make
Las Vegas look like West Point.
You can see businesses openly
selling sex, drugs, and — most

shocking of all, to Americans —
French fries with mayonnaise.

Nevertheless, you feel perfectly
safe in Amsterdam (except for the
bicycles). In fact, one popular
tourist activity is to go to the
famous Red Light District and
take ganders at the extremely
friendly women who sit in little
street-level rooms behind display
windows, kind of like cars at an
auto dealership, but with less
clothing. (Notice that I am taste-
fully refraining from making a
headlights joke here.)

I was with a group of people
(including, for the record, my

wife) who decided to go see the
Red Light District. As we
approached it, we were all look-
ing around with great curiosity,
trying to spot one of the friendly
women; it was exactly like when
you visit Yellowstone National
Park, and you know that there are
bears somewhere, because you
keep seeing signs warning you
about them, but you haven't actu-
ally seen a bear yet, so the tension
keeps building up inside you.

And so when we came around a
corner and suddenly found our-
selves right next to an occupied
display window, I pointed and
yelled "There's one!" At the
same instant, I walked into a
metal traffic barrier, hitting it so
hard that I thought I fractured my
kneecap, although I of course did
not seek medical treatment
because I didn't want to have to
explain to the medical personnel
how I injured myself. This is
exactly why health authorities
say that if you're going to be
messing around in a Red Light
District, you should ALWAYS
wear protection, in the form of
kneepads.

Amsterdam is a lively and fun
city, full of things to do. In fact,
I'll confess that I took advantage
of the permissive laws and did
something that I just had to try. I
am referring to French fries with
mayonnaise. My advice is: Just
say no.

Kevin Costner's eyes darted
around Yankee Stadium. He
tugged on his cap, stared at his
catcher, and unleashed a Nolan
Ryan-esque fastball. And the
crowd went nuts.

OK, so it didn't quite happen
that way. But the star of 'Bull
Durham,' 'Field of Dreams,'
'Dances with Wolves,' and 'Tin
Cup' was at Yankee Stadium and
really did pitch. Costner just
happened to be shooting a movie,
director Sam Raimi's 'For Love
of the Game.'

"I knew when I was throwing
against the batters, I was throw-
ing in the mid-seventies, the high
seventies," Costner says. "The
(semi-pro) players who partici-
pated have careers in baseball. It
would' ve been easy to get caught
up in trying to strike one of them
out. I was conscious of that and I
never really let it fly.

"But on the last night I really
threw hard. And I threw on my
own, for myself, because there
was nobody at the plate. I
remember (the catcher) came up
and said, 'I've been doing this for
15 years, and you were well into
the eighties.' They had the cam-
era high up in the stands (shoot-
ing a scene from a skybox), and I
was down on the field, as far
away as you could be. And I took
that moment to pitch for myself."
'Love,' which casts Costner as
Billy Chapel, a once-great pitcher
for the Detroit Tigers who, in the
course of tossing a perfect game
against the Yankees, contem-
plates retirement, the impending
sale of the Tigers, the likelihood
that he'll be traded, and the fact
that his girlfriend (Kelly Preston)
just dumped him.

Chapel's a fascinating role, in
that the character's an aging star,
a guy who's made both smart and
stupid choices, professionally
and in his love life. Sound famil-
iar?

"It is a close fit," Costner says,
during a conversation at

Manhattan hotel. As usual, he's
talkative and candid. "It was still
difficult to act because there's a
difference between understand-
ing something and then being
able to do it."

Costner could especially relate
to Chapel's celebrity status. "I
was responsible for having those
two people interrupt (a Costner-
Preston argument) on the side-
walk," he says. "I said, 'If we're
going to play fame, I'm as good a
person to know about it. This is
what happens. You try to have an
intimate conversation with some-
body and people don't care.' It
happens all the time. People can
even be standing politely, but
they're looming nonetheless."

Star pitchers, when they get
roughed up, can redeem them-
selves five days later with their
next start. Superstar actor-direc-
tors pulling down $15 million a
film, don't enjoy that luxury.
Flops make loud noises as they
crash and burn. And Costner
knows from flops:
'Wyatt Earp,' 'The Postman,' and
'Waterworld.' In fairness,
though, 'Waterworld' earned
$400 million worldwide; it's just
that people still can't compre-
hend how the film cost so much
money to produce.

"I have to live with the reality
of it, which is that you have a
year to come out with another
movie, and people will write
whatever they want (in the mean-
time)," Costner says. "I put a lot
of pressure on myself. I'd proba-
bly do things differently if I was
going to live with the pressure for
a year. Then I'd probably make
every decision to cater to the
biggest demographic. My deci-
sions would be really flat and
safe, and then I'd go, 'God, and I
still didn't manage to make them
like me.' Oh, I'd hate myself . I'd
kill myself if I reduced my life to
the lowest common denominator
in order to get the biggest demo-
graphic. ..and then failed. I'd
think, 'Shame on you, you miser-
able baby. You have successfully
done nothing."

Cross-Country Men
take first place

by Megan Pavuk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Head Cross-Country coach,
Pat Mooney, stood with a smile
as he watched his Clarion men's
team defeat his alma mater,
Slippery Rock. "This was the
first time the Clarion men have
ever beaten Slippery Rock,"
commented Clarion's modest
coach and long-time former
men's captain for SRU.

Comprising the top seven run-
ners for Clarion were Ean King,
John Copley, Jon Fox, Mark
Tryzna, Rich Burgunder, Jerry
Smith, and Toby Smreker. King
finished second overall with a
time of 27:04. First place went
to Slippery Rock's, Seth Jenny
(26:09). Copley followed close
behind, finishing only 17 sec-
onds behind. Fox and Tryzna
tailed only nine seconds later.
These top four runners finishing
only a half a minute apart earned
places 2-5 in the race. This

ensured the win over the Rock.

Looking at the women,
Maureen Long, Kelly Null,
Daria Diaz, Kristie Runk,
Wendy Kengor, Kerri McGinnis,
and Renee Flora were the top
finishers for Clarion. Long
(25:06) placed second overall.
First place went to Sarah Pratte
of Slippery Rock with a time of
23:57. Null, Diaz, and Runk all
finished within a minute of
Long. Despite the finish,
Clarion was defeated by a single
point.

Next week, the squads will
pack up and head for a long
drive to run at Dickinson col-
lege. This meet will be signifi-
cantly larger than the dual meet
against Slippery Rock.

Nittany Lions awed by whining play

by Mike Jensen
Knight-Rider Newspajjers^

MIAMI - As the chapters pile
up, this Kevin Thompson saga
keeps getting more interesting. In
the last year, the quarterback has
been booed by the student section
of his own school at a basketball
game and castigated loudly
around the state. He's also had his
head coach defend him at every
turn.

Add this chapter in bold print:
Thompson will be remembered in
one of the big plays in Penn State
history.

"They will be talking about that
for decades!" Penn State assistant
coach, Jay Paterno, said outside
the Nittany Lions' locker room
when he spotted Linda Fields of
Philadelphia, waiting to see her
son, Chafie. "What Chafie Fields
and Kevin Thompson did on that
play!"

Fields down the left sideline,
Thompson leading him perfectly,
the cornerback never seeing it
coming. A 79-yard touchdown
strike when the Orange Bowl was
getting delirious for the first time
in about five years and Penn
State's national championship
hopes looked to be going up in

smoke.

"We only had a minute and
some left on the clock, no time-
outs, we were deep in our end,"
said Thompson, sizing up the situ-
ation neatly, after the Nittany
Lions had fallen behind, 23-20, in
the fourth period.

Thompson didn't even know he
would be in the game at the end
until just before the pivotal series
began, when both head coach, Joe
Paterno, and offensive coordina-
tor, Fran Ganter, told him he was
in.

He hadn't had a big game. He
would end up throwing for more
yardage on that play than the rest
of the afternoon.

"With the two-minute drill, he
has more experience than Rashard
Casey," Paterno said later.

In the second half, Paterno's QB
rotation had veered heavily
toward Casey, whose mobility
gave Penn State more options.
For the first time in his career,
Casey was in there for three
straight possessions with the
game on the line. When
Thompson went in with two min-
utes left, he hadn't played through
the third quarter.

Back out there, the idea,

Thompson said, was not to go
long on first down, but to stay
conservative, work the sidelines,
and try to get into field-goal
range.

That sideline pattern hadn't been
open much, Thompson said. And
fields wasn't the first option.
Penn State split end Eddie
Drummond, who had caught a 51-
yard pass from Thompson the
week before to set up the game-
winning field goal against
Pittsburgh, got the first look on
the other side. But Thompson
didn't see much there. Thompson
also had options in the middle of
the field that could get him short
yardage.

"Chafie made a great release and
got downfield," Thompson said.
"So I decided to give him the ball
so he could go out there and run
underneath and catch it. He made
a great play."

That was all the big talk anyone
heard from Thompson.

"I feel good about myself, too,"
He said when pressed. "But I'm
not a player who's going to out
and congratulate myself on
things."

His teammates handled that.
"Kevin Thompson should get

some credit after taking all the
heat after what happened last
year," said linebacker Brandon
Short, Thompson's fellow co-cap-
tain. "He's a hell of a of quarter-
back, and I'm glad he's playing
for Penn State. It's time for peo-
ple to get off his back."

Asked what that one play says
about Thompson, Fields shot
back, "It doesn't say anything!
I've been confident in Kevin's
arm all along. I expect him to
make plays like that."

Paterno, of course, had original-
ly recruited Thompson to be Dan
Kendra's backup before Kendra
backed away from his oral com-
mitment and went to Florida
State, where he now is the starting
fullback.

"Kevin Thompson got a bad rap
from some people up our way,"
Paterno said. "I feel great for the
kid."

But Thompson wasn't talking of
vindication. Someone asked if
there was some of that feeling
after he had gotten booed at a
Penn State-Indiana basketball
game last winter.

"Nope. Nope," Thompson said =^7
politely before turning his back to
the questioner.

Open forums answer questions about strike

by Rachel McDowell
t C la r ion Call Staff Writer §

The possibility of a uni-
versity strike was the topic
of a round table discussion
conducted last Thursday.
Approximately 40 con-
cerned students attended,

requests within the docu-
ment were not mentioned.
There has not been any
direct contact between the
two parties; a mediator has
been handling all negotia-
tions.

On September 27 and 28,
a strike authorization vote

place.

Plans are still tentative
depending on the length of
a possible strike. He men-
tioned the possibility of
Saturday classes or increas-
ing the length of classes so
students can fulfill gradua-
tion requirements.

Nani Lombard/The Clarion Call

Student Senate held a forum with APSCUF Monday, September 27 to help inform the
students of the possible strike.

wanting to know this
semester's fate. Tim
Fogarty, of the Human
Resources office, and
Susan Traynor, president of
the local APSCUF, were
there to answer questions
about the strike.

On Friday, September 17,
1999, APSCUF, the organi-
zation that protects and
advances the rights of the
faculty, gave the State
System of Education a new
proposal. A response to that
proposal has not yet been
given. The specific

will occur.

If the vote's outcome is
positive, it will give
APSCUF authorization to
recommend a strike. The
majority of the questions
that were fielded to Fogarty
could not be answered with
certainty. He explained that
Clarion has a strike plan
for situations such as this.
According to Fogarty, stu-
dents who are anticipating
a December ceremony grad-
uation can still intend to do
so, however, he could not
say how this would take

pened at Student and
Faculty Senate
Meetings,

According to Fogarty,
there are no current plans
to close residence halls,
dining facilities, or the
library if a strike were to
occur. The athletic depart-
ment will also remain run-
ning. He could not answer
specific questions about
hiring replacement faculty,
refunding tuition, or
rescheduling classes.

The question of a rise in
tuition was also mentioned.
Susan Traynor stated that
often times schools with
lower rates receive 60 per-

cent of their funding from
the state, while with higher
tuition receive 40 percent,
with the remaining money
coming from tuition.

She stressed the impor-
tance of all students edu-
cating themselves on the
specifics of the strike.
Students can get informa-
tion and voice their opin-
ions by visiting APSCUF's
web site,

www.APSCUF.com, or visit
the State System web site
at www.sshechan.edu.

The requests from the
faculty are not only limited
to financial demands. When
asked about non-monetary
issues, Traynor discussed
intellectual property. This
deals with who has the
right to royalties of a fac-
ulty member's creative
work. The current policy
gives the state 75 percent
of the profit, regardless if
university property is used
during its creation. In the
plans presented so far by
the State System will get a
percentage of the faculties
intellectual property also.
Some intellectual property
include text books, paint-
ings, journal entries and
other publications.

Another dispute deals
with giving professors
tenure at the university
level. The current process
uses a committee of peers,
consisting of members of
the faculty, that work with
the individual personally
and professionally. The
SSHE wants to change this,
by requiring a committee to

use some outside individu-
als to decide if a professor
should receive tenure.

APSCUF also
addressedthe strike issue
at the September 27th
Student Senate meeting.
More than 150 students
attended.

Students questions ranged
from their graduation to
financial questions.

Subjects that were cov-
ered were whether or not
students would lose their
credits this semester, if
tuition would be refunded,
and how students ' gradua-
tion dates would be affect-
ed.

Dr. Traynor addressed
these concerns by directing
students to ask the adminis-
tration who were unable to
attend the forum.

APSCUF's issues with the
State System include that
the faculties health fund
has not been increased
since 1993. APSCUF also
stated that the State System
wants to change the facul-
ties pay raise steps. "There
is always room for compro-
mise, supporting binding
arbitration doesn't mean
that you have to take a
side," said Sue Traynor.

When asked if any teach-
ers would cross picket lines
to teach, Traynor said,
"Assume that all will be
out, because that would be
most effective."

Strike Negotiations are
continuing this week and
the earliest day faculty
could strike is October 4.

Students continue food
fight in Reiner Snack Bar

Sure, you attempted to make some good changes at
the Reimer Snack Bar this year. You brought back
regular fries and nachos. You even offer more variety
and healthier meats. That's a start. But, then you took
it all away.

For instance, why aren't we allowed to get retail
items on board? And those 20 oz. cups seem smaller
than last year, and they went up in price.

What happened to pasta bowls, chicken wraps, and
sliced pizza? These were the more favorite foods last
year.

Let's take a step back and talk about flex. Why is it
so impossible to set up some type of all flex plan so
possibly more off campus students can take advantage
of the snack bar?

And, why do other schools have these great plans
where they can use their photo ID's at fast food
restaurants and stores and have it deducted from
there?

Also, if a student doesn't eat three meals in a certain
day, why isn't that money converted to flex or the
meal is carried over to another week. Basically, it is
use it or lose it, right?

On a last note, let's go back to having Gemmell
opened longer in the evenings. It's a shame that with
all the flex, students aren't able to use it later into the
evening.

We get tired of complaining each year. We just want
a variety of food for the right price. We understand
that there are long lines because Reimer was original-
ly built as carry over from the cafeteria. However,
times are changing. Service is longer. And the prices
are out of this world.

Your Views

Senate responds to negotiaitons dispute

This past weekend at the first Board of Student
Government Presidents meeting, the issues of nego-
tiations were discussed in detail by the 14 Student
Government Presidents from the State System
schools.

All of the SSHE schools have similar concerns
regarding the negotiations between the State System
and APSCUF. Campuses alike are fielding questions
about tuition, loan status, graduation, and book buy-
back.

The Board passed a resolution urging the State and
APSCUF to resolve the contract dispute in a timely
matter and with as little disrutption to the classroom
atmosphere as possible. We also urged that someone
begin discussions with the students regarding the
issues previously mentioned. That resolution will be
made public.

Student Senate is trying to provide open forum dis-
cussions to the student body, like the open forum
held Monday. It was nice to see that so many students
turned out for this and are so concerned about their
education.

While at this time, no one can predict if a strike will
occur, it is a very close reality. And we understand
that you have concerns that need to be answered.

People from administration and the State System
have expressed a concern about coming in and
speaking with the student body.

Because negotiations have resumed for this week,
it was almost impossible to select a time when some-
one from SSHE, APSCUF, and administration could
be present at the same time. But, when something is
organized, such as another open forum, students will
be notified.

We are trying our best to keep up to date on the
negotiations. Any materials that we review are dis-
cussed with senators and students are always wel-
come to stop in to use the computer to review the
web sites. We are also willing to talk to you.

Student Senate has discussed many of the concerns
that you have. We, too, are students and have the
same worries and concerns. We welcome any input
that you may have.

Please remember that you are not any different
from any other SSHE school. This past weekend rep-
resentatives from the schools discussed the common
issues on our campuses. The worries are the same
across the state. Our main focus was that YOUR
questions be answered as soon as possible.

It is not a matter of students picking sides. And nei-
ther side wants us to do that. But, it is up to us to urge
for a rapid settlement and to continue a quality edu-
cation at our respective schools.

On Vie surface, this

minal stupidity com-
pounded by mixed
methaphors."

John Gerow

50 Something

I will admit to being somewhat
peculiar. In this, at least, I can
concur with the majority opinion.
I think it is important that the
words that we use when we write
and speak actually communicate
the thoughts, ideas, and feelings
we want them to convey.

I always find it frustrating when
the words I use fail to get my
ideas across. I remember this
frustration going back into my
youth. On more than one occa-
sion there were things that should
have been said, or maybe said bet-
ter, to the point perhaps, where
Destiny may have been outwitted.
So it may be that on such simple
things as the wrong word in the
wrong place and time, tum all the
Universes. HUH?

I enjoy words; not only then-
sounds and shapes, but also the-
way that they convey ideas.
Much like Winston Churchill, one
of our language's greatest orators,
I believe English to be the most
beautiful and most functional lan-
guage in the world. It is a lan-
guage rich in technical words, but
also rich in descriptive words, and
when crafted properly, the lan-
guage can convey the entire range
of human emotions.

Ours is also a language rich in
combinations that can work

equally well for creative cursing
or for describing the delicate,
ephemeral entity we call love.

My young associate Kristi is
very much into music. She is not
in the house but just a moment
and either the television or the
radio is tuned to music. The
young lady picks up lyrics quick-
ly and can sing with literally hun-
dreds of songs on the radio - in
several genres. And surprisingly,
for most of us who love to sing
have really lousy voices, Kristi
has a lovely singing voice.

Recently, I actually surfaced to
a near catatonic state and was lis-
tening to the radio. Cher, that 50-
something diva who still enthralls
the teenybopper set, was warbling
away with an incredible sounding
recording - mostly the incredulity
was from the echo chambers and
such. I really began to listen to
the words of the chorus
and...HUH?

"Do you believe in life after
love?" Good start, incredible
opening for deep discussion.

"I can feel something inside
myself." Weakening, but at least
an affirmative statement of hope.

"I really don't think you're
strong enough..." HUH? Lost me
on that one. There is absolutely

"It is crazy how fast

time flies, especially

when you are having

tons of fun..."

Lori Matachak, Copy and Design Editor

In two months, I JhopefuUy,
will be graduating from Clarion
University. After 4 1/2 years of
classes, tests, studying, and of
course partying — (I'm not going
to say I never did — that would be
a lie!)but very soon my college
career at Clarion will be over.

In the fall of 1995, 1 came here
lost and scared, and I will soon be
leaving even more lost and
scared. It is crazy how fast time
flies, especially when you are
having tons of fun!

With that, I want to thank all of
you who have been a part of my
life here at Clarion.

First off, I would like to thank
my professors. I have learned so
much from all of you and without
you, I would not have gained
newknowledge I now know.
Thank you for instilling in me
your knowledge.

To the Advertising Department
at The Clarion News. I have
learned so much from all of you.
Thank you, Mary Louise, for giv-
ing me the opportunity to work
with you. The experience I
gained working with all of you
this summer has come in handy

and I haven't even graduated yet!
Thanks again.

To all my friends I met from
Nair and Wilkinson Hall my
freshman year — Even though we
don't get together as often as we
did our freshman year and our
remaining years at Clarion, the
times I spent with all of you (and
you know who you are) I will
cherish always. Without any of
you, My first year of Clarion
couldn't of been as crazy and as
fun as it so surely was.

To all my friends I met my
sophomore year and those I met
in Campbell Hall — (and you
know who you are too) you made
my crazy year in Campbell the
best any girl could want for.
Thanks for all the crazy times we
shared.

As for the rest of my sophomore
year, it consisted of meeting
probably the closest people I
have ever come in touch with my
last 2 1/2 years at Clarion. It was
the year I started dating my
boyfriend Paul and met the peo-
ple whose friendships mean so
much to me.

OPINION

GEROWI fifty something, from Page 3.

no connection among the three lines of poetry. They are three disconnected thoughts, tied together with her
silky voice and an echo chamber. Superficially at least.

But read those lines again, and think about what they really say. Cher is obviously a woman (Duh, even I
noticed that) singing to a man after the end of a relationship. Her statement "I really don't think you're strong
enough" is another example of the virulent anu-men sentiment that is rampant in our society today.
Subliminally, Cher is telling her audience that men aren't strong, not worthy, not manly. It is an ugly message,
one that perpetuates the idea that men are second class citizens and worthy only of being seed donors. And this
coming from a woman, who at the time this song was number one on the charts, was hiring a lawyer to see how
much of a chunk of her late ex-husband's estate she could get. "I really don't think you're strong enough..."
HUH?

I was also attracted to a snappy little tune by a group called Savage Garden. Seriously. And our parents
thought The Beatles and The Byrds were strange. But this was a snappy little ditty... something about living
life careless and free. So I really started to listen — and got just one heck of a shock. The lyrics of this neat
little ditty left me speechless. "I want to live like a cannonball, careless and free like a cannon ball.." HUH?

On the surface, this sounds like a case of terminal stupidity compounded by mixed metaphors. But listen
again, and think a little. No one writes by accident. I know. Sometimes my column reads like I do, but I don't,
and neither did the lyricist who wrote this song. Cannonball: noun, artillery ordinance, often containing high
explosives, designed to kill, maim, and destroy. "I want to live like a 'piece of ordinance designed to kill, maim,
and destroy,' careless and free 'like a piece of ordinance designed to kill, maim, and destroy..."' Neat lyrics,
HUH?

My youthful associate tells me I should not try to analyze the lyrics of the songs. But I think, like Yogi Berra
once said, you can hear a lot by listening, and the messages in these two songs are vicious, violent, and ugly.
On the surface, they may seem harmless enough, but subliminally the messages they contain are vile. It may
be that our education system has so dumbed down our young people that they can't understand that the words
are incredibly important. One might go so far as to say that it is the words that separate men from the animals.

Next time you wonder about Dylan and Klebold, Columbine High, and violence among our youth, take a few
minutes and listen to the music. It can be a frightening experience.

If it wasn't for Paul, I would have never met and become friends with
the Etters gang, his fraternity brothers, their girlfriends, and friends.
The 2 1/2 years that I have spent with Paul and his brothers I will trea-
sure always. Thank you for making me a part of your fraternity. If you
only knew how much it means to me.

To my roommate my junior year — Denise, I miss you ! Let's do lunch
again soon! I enjoyed catching up — We need to do so more often!

To Nancy — Even though we had our Ups & Downs, your friendship
was the greatest gift I had through college. I'm so happy I have that
back again. I've missed you!

To the Call— Old & New — I've learned so much from all of you and
really miss your presence in the office (George, Tim, Danielle, &
Kristin). To all of you — I wish you the best of luck.

To my roomies — I've enjoyed living with all of you. You have made
my last semester here great! I will miss all of you too!
And last but not least — To my parents — without your guidance and
support, I would not be the person I am today. I love you both.
I leave the rest of you this advice — and believe me, I believe it to be
so true.

"Friendships and Relationships are like rollercoaster's, They both have
their ups and downs. The thing is, To enjoy it, you must make the best
of it." The same goes for college... Enjoy!

OPINION

Editor reacts to foul
smells on campus

Dear Editor,

You know, I don't want people to think that all I do is whine and complain,
but this University gives me so much ammo, it's hard not to (don't worry -
this isn't about incense; if you want updates, mail me). It is, however, about
another olfactory offense on this campus, and this time, the administration is
at fault Well, there's no tactful way to put this, so I'll just come right out and
say it: who's bright idea was it to spread the cow crap all over the campus???

Now that I've switched into "Dennis Miller mode," let's begin. You know,
there's nothing I'd like more at 8 o'clock in the morning than to get up and
get a great big whiff of cow s**t (and yes, that last sentence reeked of sar-
casm). Honestly, what's the explanation? Isn't there any other way to go
about this? To quote Dr. Evil, "Throw me a frickin' bone here!" I don't even
need a sugar-laden mug of coffee in the morning to get up anymore. It
smells as if a legion of Howard Stern "Fartman" disciples has descended
upon the University.

The putrid odor is even worse when it is raining. I walked out the other
day, and my nose promptly shriveled up and fell off (luckily I know a good
plastic surgeon). On yet another night, I almost lost the "death dog" I had
just consumed due to the nauseating stench. Hey, I like pretty shrubs and
colorful flowers as much as the next guy (wait, that didn't sound right) but
if it comes at the expense of my delicate nasal passages, then let the suckers
die. It smells like a hospital incontinance ward here. Clarion University
needs a big car air-freshener. What's Plan B, dead bodies? When filling out
your will, you'll have the choice of burial, cremation, or Clarion University
fertilizer. I'm sure this whole feces fiasco isn't a good recruiting tool for the
university. I've seen the pained look on visitor's faces who are on a tour of
the University.

The excrement has truly hit the tan this time. Maybe it's because I live in
Pittsburgh, where the closest you get to this pungent stink is the zoo. Maybe
everyone else likes to be asphyxiated by dung. But maybe we just need some
non-smelly mulch. I feel like becoming a twisted Johnny Appleseed,ordythrow-
ing incense sticks everywhere to alleviate the suffocating stench. And if the uni-
versity must continue on its "poop perfume'' mission cant we have helicopters
carpet bomb the campus with Febreeze? The administration doesn't want us
killing brain cells with drugs or alcohol, so why are they using cow flops? I smell
a rat; no wait, a cow. And if the campus absolutely HAS to smell like a zoo, can't
we at feast get some of those monkeys with the purple butts? They're pretty
funny.

OPINION

Maybe Mom's Right: You
Should Sleep More, Drink Less

Courtesy of TMS Campus Web Site
by Sherri Richards

As I sat at the table, the slice of
pizza stared at me, taunting my
already full stomach. My friends
sat across the table, taunting my
pride. One slice, they said. I
could do it.

Twelve slices later, I was
resigned to being champion of the
all you can eat pizza contest I also
was resigned to the fact that I was
going to throw up any minute.

The abuse college students put
their bodies through boggles my
mind more than a quantum
physics test. We never sleep, we
always eat, and the weight in our
backpacks is heavy enough to
knock us down if the wind picks
up . We sit hours on end in class-
es, stretching our brain cells to the
limit We then drink oursleves into
a stupor, destroying the already
worn out little buggers.

We laugh, but such behavior
isn't always funny.

More than one-third of college
students admit to binge drinking-
having four or more alcoholic
beverages per sitting for women,
five or more drinks for men.
Besides the strain on one's health,
not to mention his or her life.
Between 25 and 50 students die
each year from alcohol poisoning
or alochol related deaths.

"Well, I don't drink," you say.
No matter. College students
everywhere depend on that morn-
ing cappuccino to make it to class
or that 20 ounce soda to survive
all night cram sessions. A
University of Washington study
determined that those who avoid-
ed caffeine had significant
increases in brain energy, and
those who developed a tolerance
to it suffered headaches and a lack
of energy when they went without
the product for a few days.

Hmmm. And that brings us to
those pick me ups some of us get
from those puffs of nicotine.
Forget bad breath and smelly
clothes and hair. Do the words
"lung cancer" or "emphysema"
mean anything to you?

Why do we do this to ourselves?
We are young and healthy now,
but not if we keep up this behav-
ior. Will the thousands (upon
thousands) of dollars we spend on
education be worth anything if the
nasty little habits we develop at
school put us in the grave?

Yes, college is a stressful time of
life. Homework and tests take on
a whole new meaning from any-
thing experienced in high school.
But it's also a wonderful feeling
of freedom and independence. It's
the first time a young adult is real-
ly out on his or her own. Mom's
not there every minute to tell us to
eat our vegetables, or to go to bed
or not to sit too close to the
television.

Maybe that's the problem.

Although we are "responsible"
adults, perhaps we should contin-
ue taking our advice from our par-
ents. They've been there, and
although they still haven't figured
out how to program the VCR, they
do know what they are talking
about.

"Take care of yourself," my
mom says. "Cut back on alcohol,
avoid the fatty foods, just say no
to drugs, exercise, get some sleep,
brush your teeth...."

I'm sure you have heard that lec-
ture, too.

Now it's time to listen-before
we all age another 20 years.

Approval of a new academic calendar for 01-02

by Angela Everly

A motion was passed to adopt a
new academic calendar for the
year 2001-2002.

This new proposal will combine
winter and spring breaks.

Instead of being five days, win-
ter break will soon be a week and
a half long and spring break will
be cut down to four days.

Class schedules will be affected
by the break change because
Monday classes meet in place of
Wednesday classes.

This academic calendar will
begin the spring semester a week
earlier, causing classes to start
before Martin Luther King Jr.
Day.

A motion was not passed, how-
ever, to begin pre-session on May
13.

Senators felt that more informa-
tion should be gathered from
nearby school districts. The
information would determine if
pre-session was starting late
enough for high school graduating
seniors and teachers to attend
summer school at the university.

Student Senate representative
Dani Jo Close discussed the con-
cern that students have about not
being able to get the books they
might need themselves and espe-
cially getting them when they
need them.

Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

Former Clarion University
Student, Brian J. Rathfon died
Monday night.

This is the second tragic death
in a month to take place in the
Clarion community.

The body of 21 -year-old
Rathfon was found at approxi-
mately 7:00 p.m. in the third
floor pendulum lounge, in
Pierce Science Center.

After several students reported
the gun shot, Public Safety was
the first to arrive on the scene.

Rathfon was found dead due
to a self-inflicted gun shot
wound.

Pennsylvania State Police
were then immediately called to
the scene and recovered the
hand gun used along with "vari-
ous correspondence."

The contents of the notes as of
yet have not been discussed by
officials.

Rathfon was a business man-
agement major and last attended
Clarion University in the fall of

1997.

He was a member of the golf
team and passed his player abil-
ity test (PAT) this fall.

This test would have allowed
him to play in the Professional
Golf Association (PGA) and be
a head pro of a country club.

During a press conference
held Tuesday, University
President Diane Reinhard

expressed much grief and her
deepest sympathy to his family.

"Brian was talented, funny,

and kind. He was a true friend,

and his presence on this earth

will be deeply missed," said

Christopher Taylor, Clarion

University student and friend of

Rathfon.

Community and Campus work
together for Food Stock '99

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Staff Writer

This week starting with
September 22 through October 1,
is Food Stock '99, a Community
Scavenger Hunt. This event is
being done by many groups and
organizations at Clarion
University.

Brianne Frisk, AmeriCorps
member and Outreach

Coordinator in the Community
Service-Learning Office said, "I
am so grateful on behalf of the site
locations with barrels and the
organizations that went out and
participated in the Scavenger
Hunt."

"We are hoping for a really big
turn out," said Frisk.

All donated items will be pro-
vided to the residents of Clarion
County throughout Community
Action and 12 local pantries in the
Clarion area. The object of Food
Stock 99 is to obtain non-perish-
able food items from the sur-
rounding community. But any
type of food donation is accepted
and will be taken.

Items included on the Food
Stock list are powdered milk,
kool-aid, cereal, pasta and flour.

These are just a few of the items
on the non-perishable food list.

Once all the items are gathered
from the certain organizations par-
ticipating, they are taken to the
Food Stock collection site. The
collection site will be located at
the intersection of 5th and Main
Street during the 24-hour food
marathon.

Food can be turned in at the site
starting at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday,
September 30. On Friday,
October 1, the site will close at
3:00 p.m.

'T think it is wonderful that the
campus is involved with a worth-
while effort with the community
of Clarion," said Frisk.

Another goal of Food Stock '99
is to try to make it into the
Guinness Book of World Records
for the most food ever donated in
one twenty four hour period.

There will be television and
radio coverage at the event along
with door prizes for participating.
Frisk said, "This is a great
opportunity for Clarion University
to give back to die community
since Food Stock '99 is co-spon-
sored by the university."

This proves to be a formidable
cause in which many group orga-
nizations, residence halls, and
businesses all are taking part in.

"This is something that every
community should look into
doing. It helps to bring groups
and businesses together in
Clarion," said Jason Scherm a
member of Phi Delta Theta.

All those participating, like
Jason, hope to accomplish Food
Stock 99's motto this year "Out to
stop hunger and homelessness."

Shane Eck, Clarion Student
Association Board of Directors
Chairperson said, "I think this is a
great opportunity for everyone in
each organization to be a part of
something that is not benefitting
their organization but someone
else."

Donations can still be made through
Thursday at the Community Service-
Learning Office located at 247
Gemmell or at the intersection of Fifth
Avenue and Main Street all day Friday,
Oct. 1. For more information call 226-
1865 or The Chamber of Business and

McGinn named assistant prof,
to library science department

by Traci Fredley
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Dr. Jane Moore McGinn has
been named an assistant professor
in the department of library sci-
ence.

McGinn has a doctor of philoso-
phy degree in library science and
public administration from the
University of Pittsburgh.

She also earned a master's
degree in library science from the
University of North Carolina at
Greensboro and an undergraduate
degree in home economics from
Howard University.

McGinn became interested in
the library science field as a child.

McGinn grew up in North
Carolina where the only source of
libraries available to her were the
bookmobiles.

The reason for this was because
libraries were segregated and she
was not permitted in them.

The department is
delighted to have a
scholar of Dr. McGinn's
stature join our nation-
ally recognized pro-
gram. 99

"The department is delighted to
have a scholar of Dr. McGinn's
stature join our nationally recog-
nized program," said Dr. Bernard
Vavrek, chair of the department of
library science.

"She brings many strengths to
our program, including a broad
knowledge of both public and
school libraries, expertise in
automation and electronic ser-
vices, and vast experience in the
rapidly growing area of distance
education."

"I am excited about joining the
faculty at Clarion University,"
said McGinn.

for a long time."

" I look forward to contributing
to Clarion University's excellent
record of service lo die national

Before joining the Clarion facul-
ty McGinn was school library
media specialist at the Jackie
Robinson Middle School in New
Haven, CT, and an adjunct profes-
sor in the library school at
Southern Connecticut State
University.

When asked why McGinn left
her former job, she said, "After
years of working in a library, I
would rather teach at this point in
my life."

Her other credentials include,
teaching on faculties of Portland
State University, Portland, OR,
Emporia State University,
Emporia, KS, and was a visiting
lecturer at the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro, and North
Carolina Central University.

" I enjoy the students here at the
university. They are pleasant and
very bright, they are interested in
getting an education," McGinn
said.

McGinn frequently speaks at
both regional and national confer-
ences and has consulted with var-
ious national organizations,
including Yale Medical School,
Unity Press and the John Hancock
Insurance Company.

The department of library sci-
ence at Clarion University is one
of only 50 graduate programs in
librarianship in the United States
which is accredited by the
American Library Association.

uate, masters and certificate pro-
grams.

Suhr elected to office

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

The Board of Student
Government President's

(BSGP) elected Clarion
University's Student Senate
President, Leslie Suhr, to hold
the Secretary/Treasurer office.

This seat will remain effec-
tive for the 1999 - 2000 year.

Suhr was elected at the first
BSGP meeting held in
Harrisburg on Friday,
September 24, and Saturday,
September 25.

This is the second consecu-
tive year that the Clarion
Student Senate President has
been elected to a seat on the
executive board.

Former Student Senate
President Tammi Snyder
served as BSGP's parliamen-
tarian for the 1998-1999 term.
"I am proud to represent
Clarion in this position," said
Suhr.

Suhr's responsibilities as the
board's Secretary/Treasurer
include keeping financial
records, taking minutes at the
BSGP meetings, and distribut-
ing all materials to the rest of
the officers. She will also take
over in the event of the
absence of the chair or vice
chair.

James Moyer of Mansfield
was elected chair; Shamaine
Daniels of West Chester was
elected vice chair; and Bud
White from Edinboro was
elected as parliamentarian for
the year.

The board meets four times a
year to select and discuss an
issue of the year that is select-
ed at the November meeting.

The board holds two meet-
ings in Harrisburg and host the
other two at representative
state schools.

Each state school makes a
presentation at the BSGP
meeting the previous semester,
telling others why they think
their school should host a
BSGP meeting.

After the presentations are
made, all of the 14 state
schools vote on which school
they would like to see host the
meeting.

These issues then in turn
become the board's mission
for the year. They try to do
things as a board to make col-
lege campuses aware of these
issues.

The Clarion Call
Two years ago the issue was
binge drinking and last year's
theme was civility and diversi-
ty.

Clarion Student Senate pub-
lished articles about Civility
and Diversity last year in The
Call, and helped to establish
the Building Bridges program
at other schools.

The program places student
mediators in the classroom to
discuss topics like racism,
mixed relationships, tolerance,
and the community.

Although it has not been
officially decided and is sub-
ject to change, discussions
have centered around this
year's issue continuing as
civility, but focusing on a
more narrow approach.

The next BSGP is scheduled
for November 12-14 and will
be hosted by Clarion.

"Student Senate is proud to
host our first BSGP ever and
we look forward to having rep-
resentatives from the other 13
state schools in attendance,"
said Suhr.

The weekend will begin on
Friday with a reception at the
residence of University
President Dr. Diane Reinhard.

The business meeting and
workshop sessions will be
conducted on Saturday as well
as discussing the issue of the
year.

Suhr said, "The board's
focus at the first meeting was
discussions regarding negotia-
tion, between APSCUF and the
State System. We are trying to
provide as much information
to the students as possible. We
also urged for a quick settle-
ment to the dispute."

"The board formed a resolu-
tion regarding the impact of
these negotiations on students
at the first meeting," said
Suhr.

The copy of the resolution
will be available with in the
next week.

Enrollment increase

by Sue Kaschak
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The enrollment at Clarion
University has increased since the
last academic school year.

The current total of full-time,
part-time, undergraduate and grad-
uate students is now at 6,037,
which is an increase of 166 over
last year's 5,871.

This year is the first time since
1992 that there has been over
6,000 students at Clarion.

Over the last year the cost of
tuition for out-of-state students
has decreased.

This decrease has increased the
number of out-of-state students.

"I think another reason that the
enrollment grew was because
most students that were surveyed
said how friendly everyone was,"
said John Shropshire, Dean of
Admissions.

The campus now consists of stu-
dents from Ohio, New York, New
Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware
among other states.

Along side of cost has been
improved faculty participation
with enrollment.

Faculty involvement is increas-

ing more and more every year.

"Both the staff and the students
were friendly. Clarion has always
been known for its friendly atmos-
phere," said Shropshire.

The administration is aiming to
keep the enrollment up.

They would like to see the reten-
tion numbers high. Those num-
bers refer to the number of stu-
dents who remain enrolled in the
university.

The admissions office under-
stands that the university may lose
students because they may want a
major that is not offered at
Clarion, but they are making sure
that what is offered at Clarion, is
in fact enjoyable for all students.

If the enrollment does continue
to grow too high, there may not be
enough on-campus housing.

As far as the individual majors
go, some of the majors offered
could have three times the enroll-
ment, but some of the fields like
elementary education may become
over crowded.

To accommodate all on-campus
students, there are plans for anoth-
er dormitory that is scheduled to
be finished sometime between the
years 2004 and 2005.

Future changes planned
for Peirce Science Center

by A. A. Thompson

Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor

••••■•■•■•■■•a* •*•••§••••••••••!•••

Drastic renovations have been
taking place on Clarion's campus
and now even more changes have
met approval by the Clarion
University Council of Trustees.

The construction of a new sci-
ence center and a three year prop-
erty acquisition plan are part of the
Capital Budget Submission.

The budget will be given to the
State System of Higher Education.

The decision to construct a new
building was determined after
reviewing the cost necessary to
upgrade the existing facility.

The estimated cost for renovat-
ing Pierce is $37 million, while
constructing a new building, at
113,000 sq ft, is only $27.1 mil-
lion.

The plans thus far are to build
the new science center on Parking
Lot A and connect with the cur-
rent planetarium and auditorium,
which will not be torn down.

Pierce will remain in use until
the new facility is complete.

Students attending Clarion
should not expect to see the con-

struction of the building any time
soon.

"You have to take a long term
view with this process, " said
Clare Heidler, director of Facilites
Planning, "...you might not see the
start of the science center project
until 2004."

In addition to building a new sci-
ence center, the trustees also
approved the purchase of proper-
ties on Greenville Avenue and
Corbett Street.

"Six parcels of land have
become available for purchase in
close proximity to the University
which fit into the University's
long range parking plan," said Dr.
Heather Haberacker, vice presi-
dent for finance and administra-
tion.

Funding and approval for use of
the property, however, still must
be determined.

Other project requests include:
the renovation of Becht Hall; the
construction of a parking deck; the
renovations and upgrading of the
Communications and Electrical
Distribution System; the replace-
ment of steam lines; and the reno-
vation and expansion of the
Marwick-Boyd Fine Arts Center.

ALF Week event

Clarion gets a dose of culture

by Jaque Walsh

Clarion CaU

Assistant Lifestyles Editor

Bringing the world to
Clarion was the essential
theme at the fifth annual
Clarion University and
Community Cultural Night.

Sponsored by Your Pathway
Home and Beverly

Healthcare, the event cele-
brated all different nationali-
ties through fashion, music,
and dance.

The cohosts for the night
were Brian Roberts, who is a
fourth year veteran cohost,
and newcomer Lydia Brooks.
Major Robert Yoho talked
about varieties in cultures.

To start the night off were
Clarion staff members
singing Clarion's Alma
Mater. To appear on stage
next was Clarion's Lift Every
Voice choir. The choir has
about fifty members of all
different ages and races.

They started off with a gospel
number entitled "Just Wanna
Thank You," and closed with
"Mighty King." Both songs
were full of soul and inspira-
tion. Everyone in the audi-
ence was clapping and sway-
ing along with the choir. It
made the hair on my arms
stand up with chills.

Mr. and Mrs. Jim and Linda
Rose performed a song and
dance from Ireland. Mr. Rose
played an Irish drum, while
Mrs. Rose did a dance she
actually learned in Ireland.
Mrs. Rose also sung an a cap-
pella song named "Red is the
Rose."

From Australia Mr. Richard
Stressor played on his guitar
"The Red Tower." Next up
was the high school group CL
Sensations. They started off
with a dance number, then
threw in some Elvis songs,
then ended with a dance,
solo, and song finale. It truly

was a thrill.

The night went forth as
Cypres, five girls from the
international students of
Clarion, performed a Greek
dance called Zorbora. It
started off slow and then pro-
gressed to a fast pace.

Next up was a fashion show
from around the world. Set
to international music,
Japanese, Chinese, Egyptian,
and Indian students were
among many representatives
to model the costume of their
homeland.

The night was filled with
bursts of excitement from all
over the world. Each act
taught a bit of each culture
that they were performing.

Director of the evening,
Jennie McLanie, said "The
acts are all great." She starts
to book them months in
advance.

Cohost Lydia Brooks was
delighted at the festivities

and said that, "Everything it's very important to learn
turned out to be fabulous." more about all different cul-
When asked why cultural tures." She put it best by say-
night is so important she said, ing, "Cultural Night brings
"As the world gets smaller the world to Clarion."

The high school group CL Sensations put on an electrifying
performance on Monday night for Cultural Night. Cultural

Clarion tradition 'The Open Road' sets up the mike stand once again

by Jeff Chaffee

Clarion Call Assistant

Lifestyles Editor

September 24 was another
beautiful Friday night in
Clarion, perfect for an evening
of poetry from some of Clarion's
best. As usual, the Open Road
made its way into Michelle's
Cafe for an evening of songs,
poems, and storytelling.

Leading things off was the
Clarion Arts Council's special
guest poet, Deane Goadwin. His
set touched on such topics as
loneliness and forgiveness. As
Goadwin's set ended, Open
Road favorite Aaron Fellenbaum

led things off with several of his
acoustic songs, including the
Open Road staple "Lancaster
County." Other performers
included Joe Gibson, Seana
Simon, Dani Stern, Jeff Ahlberg,

and a band called Copper Green.
The evening's performances ran
the full gamut from simple free-
verse poetry, to folk melodies, to
experimental music, to improvi-
sational storytelling.

The Open Road has been a
Clarion tradition for four years
now. Mark Strieker, head of the
open mike night, says he plans
on having at least two readings a
month. The dates are, as he said

"really kind of random" so make
sure to check out Michelle's
Cafe for details. Clarion's
Open Road has remained true to
its motto: "Open mikes, open
minds."

Music Reviews

Nine Inch Nail's 'Fragile' cracks; while Katherine Farnham soars

by Jeff Chaffee

Clarion Call

Assistant Lifestyles Editor

Hype for a well-known artist
is most definitely a double-
edged sword. Take Nine Inch
Nails for example. One need
hear no more than "I heard
there's a new CD in the
works" to start an instant
buzz.

That's one big reason I was
looking forward to the latest
from Trent Reznor. As with
most of the American public, I
was impressed beyond belief
with The Downward Spiral, as
well as the NIN tracks on the
'Lost Highway' soundtrack. I
guess I was guilty of expect-
ing too much based on past
performances.

The Fragile, "Halo
Fourteen" for those of you

keeping track, is an adventur-
ous double disc collection of

Trent's newest ramblings of
the subconscious. Sticking to
the formula of industrial
music, the lyrics are dark, the
emotion is inner pain and the
feedback is plentiful. Problem
number one with the disc is
that it doesn't really strike any
new chords.

Fans of driving, hard-edged,
and fast paced Nails songs
(see "March of the Pigs" or
"Head Like a Hole") will be

pretty disappointed. They're
in there, but not to the degree
they've been in the past.
Fragile depends more on
lofty gothic pieces than metal-
esque grooves. Problem num-
ber two: lots of stuff sounds
just like what's before and
after it.

But enough with the bad.
Even in the worst pits of the
album, there are several good
things. It's obvious that much
work went into the production
of the album. Each song is
layer upon layer of carefully
chosen beats and stands strong
on its own. Songs like "The
Wretched" (from the 'Left'
disc) explore new uses of
rhythm while still offering the
great NIN stuff we all love so
much. Other highlights

Movie Review

'Stir of Echoes' scares up the
comparisons to 'Sixth Sense'

by Mike Cody

By now most people have
heard of "Six Degrees of
Kevin Bacon," a game in
which the goal is to connect
any movie star, living or dead,
to actor Kevin Bacon in just
six steps. Here's a fast tip for
anyone who plans on playing
"Six Degrees" in the near
future: now you can connect
Bacon to Bruce Willis in just
one easy step. That's because
Bacon's new movie 'Stir of
Echoes' is a very close rip-off
of Willis' blockbuster hit 'The
Sixth Sense.'

In 'Echoes,' Bacon plays a
devoted husband and father
whose life is turned upside
down when his sister-in-law
hypnotizes him at a party, giv-
ing him the subconscious sug-
gestion to be "more open."
Soon, Bacon starts seeing a
strange mix of futuristic
visions and walking corpses.
Complicating matters is the
fact that his five year-old son
has been seeing the same type
of visions for his entire life.
When his sister-in-law is
unable to close whatever men-

tal doors her hypnosis opened,
Bacon finds himself slowly
being driven insane by his
visions and tries desperately
to find out what they mean.

'Stir of Echoes' is an occa-
sionally scary movie that
should be enjoyed by anyone
who hasn't seen 'Sixth Sense.'
But those who have seen

liC'

t (

-- Jo"

V _r m

'Sixth Sense' will probably be
disappointed by 'Echoes'
because of the numerous simi-
larities between the two films.
For example, having two films
in one summer that prominent-
ly feature little boys who can
communicate with the dead
completely ruins the novelty
of the idea.

As if that isn't bad enough,
'Echoes' also rips off key ele-
ments of 'The Shining.'
Bacon's son and wife befriend

a policeman who has the same
abilities that Bacon and his
son have. The cop even goes
so far as to tell Bacon's wife
that her son is blessed with
"the gift." Substitute "the
shine" for "the gift" and the
folks behind 'Stir of Echoes'
would have a nice lawsuit on
their hands.

The acting in 'Echoes' is
decent enough, but it's noth-
ing to write home about. For
the first twenty minutes of the
movie, Bacon speaks with a
Chicago accent so thick that
he sounds like a 'GoodFellas'
reject, though he manages to
tone it down later on in the
film. It's sad that, likewise,
the creative forces behind
'Stir of Echoes' couldn't have
toned down the similarities
between their film and 'The
Sixth Sense.' In an age when
movie studios duplicate
wannabe blockbusters like
there's no tomorrow ('Antz'
and 'A Bugs Life',
'Armageddon' and 'Deep
Impact'), the concept of find-
ing fresh ideas must seem
even scarier to studio execs
than conversations with the
undead.

Oldies but Goodies

by Jen DeFazio
g Clarion CalJ Staff Writer

On Sunday, September 26th,
Johnny Angel and the Halos visit-
ed Clarion once again. The band
consists of John Hunt (the angel),
Gary Daly, Al Lipp, Tony
Impavieo, Glen Quarrey and
Phillip Labas. People filed into
Clarion University Memorial
Stadium and packed the stands
waiting for the oldies concert to
begin.

The band opened with songs
such as "If You Believe in
Forever," "Higher and Higher,"
and "Tossin and Turnin."

Frisbees flew through the air
during the performance and eager
fans, both young and old, franti-
cally threw their arms in the air
trying to catch them. The concert
continued with oldies such as
"Pride and Joy," "Rockin' Robin,"
"Pretty Little Angel Eyes," "Little

Bitty Pretty One," and also an
'Oldies but Goodies' medley.

The band also had the crowd
interact by making them sing
(sometimes individually), dance,
and clap during most of the songs.
The Halos ended their part of the
night by dressing as 'The Blues
Brothers' and performed
"Rawhide," better known to the
Clarion students as the Wal-Mart
theme song, and "Soulman."

When the Halos finished, fire-
works sponsored by Eat 'N' Park
lit up the Clarion sky. It was a
great ending to a very entertaining
evening. Johnny Angel and the
Halos currently have two CDs out.
The first is Jeet Jet and the most
recent one, 7 Souls, was released
just six months ago. John Hunt
left by saying, "The lovely city of
Clarion has always known, and
will always know how to rock and
roll. It's our pleasure to come
back."

NINI review of new Nine Inch Nails CD, from Page 13.

Other highlights include the

collection's first single "We're in

this Together," "Somewhat

Damaged," "The Fragile," and

"Starf***ers, Inc."

One of the more unique aspects
to Fragile' s charm is the inclusion
of several "instrumental" songs in
the midst of the standard fair.
This is always a good step for a
double-CD set, as it gives the ear
a minute to recover, calm, and get
set for the next song.

Overall, though, the album is
rather unspectacular. Sorry, Trent
fans. I can only give Nine Inch
Nail's The Fragile a 2 out of 5
rating.

by Keith B Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

Okay, I'm sure that by now
you've been beat over the head
with information on the Clarion-
born Katherine Famham. The
only question left to ask is this:
does her music live up to all the

hype?

The answer is yes. While she's
not the second coming of The
Beatles, her debut disc, For The
Love Of It All is a very accom-
plished and enjoyable piece of
work. More of an EP than a full-
length disc (it clocks in at 5 songs
in a little over 20 minutes), For-
The Love accomplishes much in
its short time span.

A wonderfully moody mix of
jazz, pop, and classical textures,

the record features layer after
layer of styles and influences. It
comes across as very arty Sarah
McLachlan, only Famham may
quite possibly have a better set of
pipes than the pop diva.
Exceptionally deep and emotion-
al, Famham gives it her all on
every cut Throughout For The
Love Of It All, her voice is the
prominent instrument.

Occasionally she overdoes it,
stretching her voice to the
absolute limit, but those moments
are few and far between, and eas-
ily overlooked.

Surprisingly, her piano work is
not as up front as one would
expect it to be. Atmospheric
effects, vocals, and supplemen-
tary instruments rise above her
keyboard. The use of synthesiz-
ers and sound effects makes for an
incredibly entrancing listen, espe-
cially on the opening cut, "Shoes
Are Leaking."

While the lyrics won't win any
literary awards soon, they do their
job fine, as the album is a very
life-affirming and uplifting expe-
rience.

One standout on the album is the
lustful and provocative, "Call it
Just Love," in which Famham
even gets a little experimental.
On the whole, For The Love Of It
All makes for perfect rainy-day
music. Just lay back and let the
calming Waves of her creations
wash over you. On my five-star
rating system, For The Love Of It
All gets a four.

Human survival depends on pickup lines

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist

So I was at this party, and I
wound up at a table where three
attractive single women were
complaining about —

Surprise! — men. Specifically,
they were complaining about
the pickup lines that had been
used on them in a bar a few
nights earlier.

One woman said: "This guy
comes up to me and says, 'Are
you a teacher?' I mean, is that
supposed to be ROMANTIC?"

All three women rolled all six
of their eyes.

Another one of them said:
"This guy says to me, 'I've
been looking at you all night!'
So I go, 4 Hel-LO, we just GOT
here.'"

At this point, all three
women — and I want to stress
that these are intelligent, nice
women — were laughing. Not
me. I was feeling bad for the
guys.

I realize that there are certain
hardships that only females
must endure, such as childbirth,
waiting in lines for public-
restroom stalls, and a crippling,
psychotic obsession with shoe
color. Also, females tend to
reach emotional maturity very
quickly, so that by age 7 they
are no longer capable of seeing

the humor in loud, inadvertent
public blasts of flatulence,
whereas males can continue to
derive vast enjoyment from this
well into their 80s.

So I grant that it is not easy
being a female. But I contend
that nature has given males the
heaviest burden of all: the bur-
den of always having to Make
the First Move, and thereby risk
getting Shot Down. I don't
know WHY males get stuck
with this burden but it's true
throughout the animal kingdom.
If you watch the nature shows
on the Discovery Channel,
you'll note that whatever
species they are talking about —
birds, crabs, spiders, clams — it
is ALWAYS the male who has
to take the initiative. It's
always the male bird who does
the courting dance, making a
total moron of himself, while
the female bird just stands
there, looking aloof, thinking
about what she's going to tell
her girlfriends. ("And then he
hopped around on one foot!
Like I'm supposed to be
impressed by THAT!").

Male insects have it the worst.
The Discovery Channel
announcer is always saying
things like: "After the mating,
the female mantis bites off the
males mantis' head, and then

she and her girlfriends use it to
play a game that looks a lot like
Skee Ball."

Because I live in Florida, my
patio is basically a giant singles
bar for lizards. On any given
day during the mating season,
I'll see dozens of male lizards
out there making their most

suave lizard move, which usual-
ly consists of inflating and
deflating a red pouch under
their chins. They seem to think
that female lizards really go for
a guy with a big chin pouch, but
I have never once, in 14 years
of close observation, seen a
female respond. They just
squat there looking bored,
while all around them males are
blinking on and off like defec-
tive warning lights.

Every now and then you'll see
an offbeat new TV story about
some animal, usually a moose,

that has for some reason fallen
in love with, and decided to
relentlessly court, something
totally inappropriate, such as a
lawn tractor. This animal is
ALWAYS a male. On the TV,
they show it hanging around the
lawn tractor with a big sad
moony look, totally smitten,
while the lawn tractor cruelly
ignores it.

My point here is, that in mat-
ters of the heart, males have the
brains of a walnut. No, wait!
That is not my point. My point
is that perhaps you women
could cut us males a little bit of
slack in the move-making
process, because we are under a
lot of stress. I vividly remem-
ber when I was in 10th grade,
and I wanted to call a girl
named Patty and ask her to a
dance, and before I picked up
the phone, I spent maybe 28
hours rehearsing exactly what I
was going to say. So when I
actually made the call, I was
pretty smooth.

"Hello, Dance?" I said.
"This is Patty. Do you want to
go to the Dave with me?"

Fortunately, Patty grasped the
basic thrust of my gist and
agreed to go to the dance. This
was a good thing, because if she
had shot me down, I would have
been so humiliated that I would

have never been able to go back
to school. I would have
dropped out of 10th grade and
lied about my age and joined
the U.S. armed forces, and as a
direct result the Russians would
have won the Cold War.

That is the awesome power
that you women have over us
men. I hope you understand
this, and the next time a guy
walks up and uses some incred-
ibly lame, boneheaded line on
you, I hope that, instead of
laughing at him, you will
remember that he is under the
intense pressure of wanting to
impress you enough so that you
might want to get to know him
better and maybe eventually,
perhaps within the next 15 min-
utes, mate with him, thereby
enabling the survival of the
human race, which believe me
is the only thing that we males
are truly concerned about.

In conclusion, let me just say
to all females everywhere, on
behalf of all males everywhere,
that you are very beautiful and
your eyes are like two shining
stars, unless you're a female
fly, in which case your eyes are
more like 2,038 shining stars.
So please give us a chance.
And if YOU'RE not interested,
could you introduce us to your
lawn tractor?

ALF is tasty as usual

by James Gates
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Last ALF, I was given the
dreaded task of official food
tester/reviewer. I conned my
way to some free food, and was
left with a marvelous hangover
of the gut.
So when the opportunity arose

respectively. After sampling the
massive vegetable stir-fry from
China - Lite and egg rolls, rice,
and chicken from the Bamboo
Hut, my crew and I came to a
consensus that these vendors
serve the best Chinese food in
Clarion. Sorry Gemmell, nice
try.

Lickers, and Barbecue flavors,
while Keith scarfed down all the
hot wings. Both
of us were in
agreement that
the Arizona

could use some
work, though.

Concessions
Funnel Cake

booth. Both have been serving
the Clarion festival crowd for 20
years, and are family owned and
run. The samples of dumplings
and funnel cakes are indeed in a
class by themselves. There's
no better way to fully take in a
day at ALF than scarfing down
massive amounts of sugar. The
prime locations for this are the
famous (by my terms) Evan's
Fudge and J A AM Concessions
Poorman's Candy Apple stands.
Evan's Fudge is a family -
owned business fulfilling the
fudge desires of all around,
including me. Indeed, the
chocolate and peanut butter
fudge I tried were the best
chunks of fudge I've had
since. ..well, last year at ALF!

Last and certainly not least is
the kingpin of all ALF's dessert
vendors, the Poorman's Candy
Apples. Unfortunately for me,
the guys running the stand
remembered me as the snotty
kid who complained that he
hates apples. Well, they decided
not to serve me, but Keith
instead, since he can appreciate
the apples. From the fact that
Keith downed the dessert faster
than a shot at the bar, and due to
the sight of caramel and choco-
late covering his face, I take it
he enjoyed it. I, on the other
hand, tried their famous wed-
ding soup and thoroughly
enjoyed it.

1999 is definitely a good year
for food sales at ALF. Every
vendor I've talked to has said
this is an exceptional year and
expects even greater business
this weekend.

As long as the quality of food
stays where it is now, I'll be
back. As I've said before many
a time, "I'm a fan."

Clarion pulls out win over Kutztown

by Jeff Say
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief

The Clarion Golden Eagles
attained their first victory last
weekend with a 31-21 triumph
over Kutztown.

The Golden Eagles entered the
game with an 0-2 record after
two close games.

The last quarter started with
Kuztown starting at their own 30
yard line. The Golden Bears
quickly charged towards Clarion
territory with a 20 yard pass from
Josh Warren to Terry Robertson.
Kutztown marched their way
down to the Clarion 35 before
being stopped by the Golden
Eagle defense.

The Golden Eagles were forced
to go 4 and out on their first
series.

After 3 series and the exchange
of punts, Clarion began deep in
their own territory. Quarterback
Adam Almashy was sucked on
the Clarion 11 where he fumbled
up the ball. Kutztown recovered
the fumble and two plays later
Yurol Pressor rushed 11 yards for
the touchdown.

On the very next series, the
Clarion defense responded with a
drive that ended with a pass from
Almashy to Andy Pore. The

extra point attempt failed and
Kutztown led 7-6.

Kutztown bounced back on the
next series and starting on their
own 23, the Golden Bears run-
ning game, led by Josh Warren
and Yorel Pressor, galloped to the
Kutztown 46. The 77 yard drive
ended with a Warren pass to
Aquil Flyth for 3 yards for the
touchdown.

The Golden Eagles started on
their own 31 after a 23 yard kick-
off return. Clarion advanced to
the Kutztown 37 when
Almashy's pass attempt was
interrupted at the Kutzman 24 by
Jason Gray.

The first half ended with
Kutztown leading 16-14.

On the ensuing kickoff at the
beginning of the second half,
Kevin Charles returned the kick
54 yards to the Kutztown 46.
Clarion's running game led by
Demetric Gardner (9 carries and
51 yards) rushed to the Kutztown
j20. The drive was completed by
a 7 yard pass from Almashy to
Pore for the score.

The extra point attempt by
Almashy failed and Clarion
trailed by 2 with 11 minutes left
in the third quarter.

Kutztown tried to extend their

Penn State more

Academic fraud

entertaining than reportedly

previous Joe
Paterno squads

by Ray Parillo
Knight Ridder Newspapers

111 uniforms are still bland as
the walls of a hospital ward, and if
you turned the clock back a gener-
ation, you'd still see most of the
same coaches nervously pacing
the sideline.

Rest assured, though, this has
been a very different kind of Penn
State football team so far this sea-
son.

In their finest hours under coach
Joe Patemo, the Nittany Lions
bludgeoned teams with a relent-
less running attack centered on a
workhorse tailback who followed
the lead of a powerful offensive
line. They had the controls in the
hands of one quarterback. They
refused to give opponents open-
ings by making mistakes. Their

defense rarely gave up big plays.

None of which characterizes the
way these Nittany Lions have built
a 5-0 record and positioned them-
selves as the No. 2 team in the
nation in the minds of the media
and coaches who vote in the polls.

One moment, these guys exhila-
rate their fans with explosive
plays. The next moment, they
frustrate them with miscues.

The two-quarterback system
makes them more entertaining,
and certainly more interesting.
Last week, it was Kevin
Thompson beating Miami with a
79-yard strike to Chafie Fields.
Saturday in the 45-24 win over
Indiana, it was Rashard Casey
showing the kind of marvelous
athleticism that's likely never
before been presented by a Penn
State quarterback.

(81 4)-797-1 940

With Thompson and Casey,
Paterno is going by the seat of his
pants. At 72, Paterno is juggling
the most important position on the
team. What can be more fun than
that?

But as the Nittany Lions enter
their bye week, they know they
must tighten up their act if they are
to reach their goal of playing for
No.l in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4.

They have yet to have a running
back gain 100 yards in a game
because, for the most part, the
offensive line isn't blocking effec-
tively. Often they couldn't even
clear the porous Hoosiers out of
the way. In the five games, they
have been penalized 29 times for
253 yards. They have fumbled 17
times and have been fortunate
enough to lose just six of them.
The defense has been more oppor-
tunistic than dominating.

Mostly, they have remained
unbeaten through sheer talent and
their penchant for making big
plays. Likely, it will require more
for them to run the table. Four of
Penn State's seven remaining
opponents-Ohio State, Purdue,
Michigan and Michigan State are
currently ranked, with a composite
record of 15-1. Poor blocking,
penalties and fumbles could result
in a loss to any one of them.

Paterno had hoped to use the
Indiana game as a chance to firm
up the basics, but Penn State need-
ed Casey's acrobatics, a 9o-yard
punt return by Bruce Branch, and
an interception returned for a
touchdown by Askari Adams to
defeat spirited Indiana.

"I wasn't really pleased with the
way we played," said Patemo,
with testiness in his voice. "We
were up and down , inconsistent,
sometimes really good, sometimes
sloppy. We're just making so
many mistakes. We were just very
erratic. I think we can use the bye
week."

involves Notre
Dame football
player

by Malcolm Moran
Chicago Tribune

A potential case of academic
fraud Notre Dame was acknowl-
edged last week. The case
involves a former football play-
er, according to a person familiar
with the allegation.

The source, aware of the claim
a part-time tutor had written a
paper for a former student, indi-
cated on the condition of
anonymity that the athlete was a
member of the football team.

It is unclear how the latest
potential violation of NCAA
rules will affect the disposition
of Notre Dame's case involving
football players accepting gifts
from convicted embezzler Kim
Dunbar.

The Committee on Infractions
has not issued its final report and
Notre Dame has requested a
delay until additional informa-
tion can be forwarded to the
NCAA.

The latest accusation could
become a decisive embarrass-
ment for a football program that
already has endured negative
national publicity from the
Dunbar case and the age-dis-
crimination trial former assistant
coach Joe Moore won. The Irish
have lost three of their first four
games for the seventh time, in
history and the second time in
Bob Davie's three seasons as
coach.

A possibility of a delay and
extended deliberations by the
infractions committee could cre-
ate another potentially harmful
scenario for the Fighting Irish.
As the early-February signing
date for high school prospects
approaches, Notre Dame's unre-
solved NCAA status and rumors
of possible sanctions could cre-
ate doubts in the minds of
recruits.

Before the university address-
es the potential of additional vio-
lations in a statement last Friday,
a source outside Notre Dame
said he expected the Irish to be
placed on probation for two
years while losing few,if any
scholarships.

But the possibility of academ-
ic fraud, particularly after the
widespread writing of papers for
athletes at Minnesota was
revealed last March, could lead
the committee to take a tougher
stand.

In its statement, the university
said the athlete no longer is
enrolled at Notre Dame and the
tutor has been discharged.

Notre Dame Athletic Director
,Mike Wadsworth said
Wednesday he could not address
any specifics. Wadsworth said
he expected additional informa-
tion would be forwarded to the
NCAA no later than Thursday.

"We can say we have conclud-
ed looking into the information
that came to our attention, and
we are very close to getting
answers from the NCAA,"
Wadsworth said.

As many as 12 football players
had been said to have received
gifts from Dunbar over a period
of several years. A person famil-
iar with the university's interests
said last month that Notre Dame
officials are anticipating the
school's first major violation.

A source with knowledge of
the Committee on the Infractions
said there was no guarantee that
Notre Dame's request for a delay
would be granted. The state-
ment also cited a potential mis-
use of complimentary tickets
and receipt of extra benefits.
Eric Chappell, a reserve quarter-
back recently dismissed from the
team, has denied being involved
in either incident.

Cross-Country
travels to Dickinson

by Megan Pavuk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The cross country team trav-
eled all the way to Carlisle's
Dickinson College Invitational
this past Saturday. At the
meet, the women finished third
out of nine teams and the men
tied for fifth among nine
teams.

Highlights for the women
included Clarion's top finish-
er, Maureen Long, who placed
eleventh overall with a time of
20:02. She was followed by
two of her teammates, Kelly
Null (15th), and Daria Diaz
(16th). Kristie Runk, Linda
Bryce, Wendy Kengor, and
Kerri McGinnis comprised the
remainder of the team for
Clarion. They defeated such
teams as Wheeling Jesuit,
Allegheny, and Dickinson

College.

The men were lead once
again by Junior, Ean King.
King (27:32) placed thirteenth
out of 100 total male runners.
Toby Smrekar finished next
for the Eagles, placing 33rd,
and John Copely followed, fin-
ishing 36th. Rich Burgunder,
Jon Fox, Mark Tryzna, and
Jerry Smith included Clarion's
top seven finishers.

Due to a lack of a home
cross-country course, the
teams have this weekend off
from competition. Next week,
however, both teams will head
for Lehigh.

Fomer Bruins
star embroiled
in scandal

by Lance Paulsen
College Press Exchange

Cade McNown, former UCLA Bruin
and current Chicago Bear quarterback,
spoke with the media last week about
his role in the UCLA handicapped
parking scandaL Earlier, the 12th pick
of this year's draft was charged with
illegally possessing a handicapped
parking placard; a misdemeanor.

McNown's attorney, Ron Safer,
claims that although McNown did have
a parking pass in the spring of 1997, his
case is different than the other 18 cur-
rent or former Bruins who were also
charged in the handicapped parking
scam.

"He was a one-time applicant He
was injured. He did not falsify the sig-
nature," Safer said. These factors put
him outside the essence of this charge."

Safer claims that McNown only
applied for the pass because he was
injured during off-season training and
was still recovering when he received
the pass.

Florida State finding

Seahawks

more ways to capitalize revoke

on Warrick

by Steve Elling
The Orlando Sentinel

TALLAHASSEE — The
tone of his voice says it all.

With respect to gadgets,
trickery, trinkets and baubles
remaining in the Florida State
playbook, wily Bobby
Bowden said Sunday that he
is still inventing ways to get
the ball to All-American
receiver Peter Warrick — and
the venerable coach all but
cackles when he talks about
it.

Disappointed when Warrick
was held to one reception in a
loss to Tennessee in the Fiesta
Bowl last January, Bowden
set the wheels in motion to
find more ways to capitalize
on the Peter Principle, if you
will.

In light of Warrick's previ-
ous accomplishments, most
teams have smothered him
with defensive backs and
taken away some of the
offense's downfield passing

threat. So FSU developed
ways to counter-attack.

"We thought we had that
solved going into that game,
but we didn't," Bowden said
of the Fiesta defeat. "We
thought we could get it to him
by throwing the ball, yet we
were not successful.

"This year, we're trying to
find ways to hand him the
ball. If you can't throw it to
him, hand it to him."

Assistant coaches Mark
Richt and Jeff Bowden
attended several NFL camps
over the summer and bor-
rowed a few wrinkles from
the level at which Warrick
seems destined to someday
star. If it works for the pros,
it might work for FSU and
Warrick this fall.

"(They) got a lot of ideas
on how to get a ball to a
receiver like Pete," the elder
Bowden said. "We've still
got a lot more stuff up our
sleeve that you haven't seen,
so..."

This is where he laughs
deviously, as though the joke
is on future opponents who
don't know what he has up his
sleeve. Based on the early
returns, it could be wild stuff.
In last weekend's 42-10
blowout of North Carolina,
the old-fashioned stuff
worked best: Warrick caught
four passes for 103 yards and
returned three punts for 115
yards and a touchdown. He
carried for a 16-yard gain on
a reverse and threw a lengthy
incomplete pass to teammate
Laveranues Coles on a flanker
option.

Two weeks earlier, though,
Warrick took a reverse, pulled
up and tossed a 30-yard later-
al to quarterback Chris
Weinke, who tossed it back
across the grain to Warrick,
who took off running. The
senior from Bradenton also
has lined up in shotgun for-
mation and run with the ball.
There's more in store, which
is sure to drive folks bananas.

"This is the fruit," Bowden
said of the wild wrinkles.
"We are determined to get
more ways to hand him or
pitch the ball, rather than
throw it downfield, where
they might double him or
triple him (with coverage)."

Through four games,
Warrick has 30 receptions for
436 yards and one touchdown
and three time he has topped
the 100- yard mark. He also
has rushed for two touch-
downs and scored on a punt
return.

contract offer
to holdout
Gallaway

by Percy Allen
Knight Ridder Newspapers

SEATTLE — In what may
one day become the biggest
incompletion of Joey
Galloway's career, he
dropped a chance to become
the NFL's second-highest-
paid receiver as the
Seahawks pulled their latest
contract offer from the nego-
tiating table.

Talks between team man-
agement and Galloway's
agent stalled during weekend
discussions in Pittsburgh,
causing the Seahawks to
issue yesterday what they
say is their final statement
about the negotiations.

In their statement, senior
vice president Mike
Reinfeldt said: "We formally
withdraw all previous exten-
sion offers and bring to a
close all negotiations on the
issue."

Seattle's response sur-
prised many, but not
Galloway's agent, Eric Metz.
"Their statement is consis-
tent with what we discussed
this weekend," Metz said.

He declined to detail the
nature of their talks or why a
deal couldn't be reached.

"It didn't happen," Metz
said. "That's about all I can
say on that."

Galloway, a holdout, is in
the final season of a five-
year contract that was sup-
posed to pay him $1.58 mil-
lion He pushed for a new
deal months ago, but the two
sides could not be reached a
settlement.

The Seahawks offered a
seven-year contract worth
$35 million that included a
$7 million signing bonus.
The deal would have made
Galloway the second-high-
est-paid receiver behind
Green Bay's Antonio
Freeman.

But Galloway sought a
five-year deal worth $25
million, including a $10 mil-
lion signing bonus — a pack-
age that would have sur-
passed Freeman's contract.

Galloway had hoped for a
different resolution.

"The thing that needs to
happen for us to talk and
negotiate," he said last
week. "And that's some-
thing that hasn't happened
for a while. So I'm happy
that we're at least talking
again."

Galloway has been fined
$5,000 a day since his hold-
out began July 30, and he has
missed three game checks of
$93,000 each.

The Seahawks have said
repeatedly that they have no
intention of trading the
receiver despite interest
from as many as 14 teams. . If
Galloway does not play this
season, Seattle retains his
rights next season under
terms of the present contract.
Where Galloway goes from
here, nobody knows.

"We'll move forward,"
Metz said.

Clarion gets crazy with ALF
1999 Mardi Gras Sensation

Alf ' 99 was a definite success. It took the collabo-
ration of many key people to make the event one that
no one could forget.

It's nice to see that so many alumni came back to their
alma mater, Clarion. ALF must have given everyone
their own share of memories. Thank you for giving
back to Clarion.

This is one of the few times during the year that the
university and community come together to make an
event like this a success. Students and faculty volunteer
to work food booths. In turn, local businesses help to
sponsor university and community floats.

Foodstock 99 helped to make Clarion a name to be
known. Congratulations to all of the organizations who
helped put Clarion into the record books. This made
many residents happy.

Clarion County got a dose of culture with Ecuadorian
band Runa Kuna, hometown favorite Katherine
Farnham, a Jamaican steel drum band, and tap dancers
from the University.

The carnival itself was definitely on the upside. New
rides and different games provided everyone with new
entertainment.

Thanks to the alumni, friends, and the community for
coming out to support the CU football team. It was nice
to see our stands so full.

Finally, the Mardi Gras parade filled the streets of
Clarion. Floats, bands, fire trucks, TV personalities,
'N Sync singer Chris Kirkpatrick, and children all par-
ticipated in making the last ALF of the millennium
most memorable.

Can't wait for the first ALF of 2000!

Your Views

In Remembrance

I first met John Kuhn nearly ten years ago the day
he arrived in Clarion to be interviewed for the posi-
tion of Provost and Academic Vice-President. John
and Lynn, and their precious dog Vicar, stayed at our
house during that initial four-day visit. I had no way
of knowing it at the time, but that was the beginning
of one of the more significant friendships in my life,
and it was the beginning of my association with a
most uncommon, common man.

During those first few days in Clarion, John's smile
and sense of humor quickly eliminated the awkward
tensions that accompany the many meetings and rig-
ors associated with the interview process. The
University community was very impressed by the
depth of his knowledge on a wide range of higher
education issues and by the sense of collegiality radi-
ated by this very interesting candidate. John was an
obvious "fit" for the university. In time, he was
offered the position, and thus began the period dur-
ing which John Kuhn so completely shared himself
with his new world at Clarion.

We quickly learned that while we had hired a
Provost, the University and the Clarion Community,
in general, gained so much more than that. For
John's gracious and caring ways soon gathered
around him an ever widening circle of friends from
all occupations, ages, and interests within the
University and Clarion Community. John's remark-

able ability to converse on almost any topic, and his
never ending thirst to know all about a person's occu-
pation and life's work resulted in instant friendships.
John came across as a common man, sincerely inter-
ested in the cares, the works, the fears, the thoughts,
and the lives of all of us. And yet, all of us knew that
this was a very uncommon man - a man blessed with
remarkable sharp perspectives on complex situa-
tions, and with a faith in his world and his God that
was lived by example each day of his life.

This uncommon, common man exuded these qual-
ities to such a degree that he was pleasantly and pos-
itively infectious to those around him. John taught
others simply by being in their presence, for he truly
was a natural teacher. Whether he met you during
one of his frequent walks down Main Street, at one
of the many sporting and cultural events he so often
attended on campus, or even while working with
other Commonwealth educational leaders, John's
warm and caring ways quietly added a pleasant sig-
nificance to the event. After speaking with John,
people went away knowing they had just met a fine
person and one who modestly thought of himself as
a common man, but who obviously had so many
uncommon attributes.

It is apparent from meeting the two fine children
that John and Lynn raised, that John's legacy will

^Evolution is a fact

Science is a proof

system"

Dr. Anthony Vega

Darwin Revisited

I typically ignore the types of
things I've been seeing in news-
papers about science. However,
given the fact that so much erro-
neous material has been written
recently about evolution and the
fact that I am both a research sci-
entist and an educator, I feel com-
pelled to respond.

So, let's set the record straight.
To begin, Darwin is not the author
of the Theory of Evolution.
Lamarck first presented the theory
in 1794, a full sixty-five years
before publication of Darwin's
Origin of Species. Darwin sim-
ply theorized the mechanism of
evolution; Natural Selection.

The Theory of Natural Selection
(or Evolution for that matter) is
not Darwin's opinion. Science
does not incorporate opinion, nor
does it cater to speculation.
Science adheres only to proof.
This brings us to the next fact;
theories are proven. How the
notion that theories are unproven
got started is a mystery steeped in
misconception. We have all
learned at some point that a
hypothesis is an unproven expla-
nation of some phenomena, not a
theory. When a number of
hypotheses are tested (i.e. proven
or disproven - the hypothesis is
either accepted or rejected based

on the quantitative analysis of
data) a clear, all encompassing
explanation eventually emerges; a
theory. It is based on proof and
solely on proof. This is why reli-
gious beliefs are not included in
scientific doctrine, they cannot be
proven. Darwin simply proved
how species evolved by examin-
ing many different species in dif-
ferent ecosystems. Organisms
which had special adaptations
which allowed them to compete in
that ecosystem survived and
passed on those traits to succes-
sive generations. Those that did
not died before breeding.
Survival of the fittest. Eventually,
incorporation of various traits
over thousands of generations
leads to an organism which little
resembles its ancestors. Darwin
also based his theory on the
domestication of animals (artifi-
cial selection as opposed to natur-
al selection). For centuries people
have, and continue to exploited
desired traits in plants and ani-
mals. Through successive gener-
ations domesticated animals little
resemble their natural kin or their
own ancestors. For example, sim-
ply compare wild turkeys to
domestic turkeys. They are hard-
ly the same creatures.

Editorial

"Road Rage is a
serious problem these
days.

Matt Smith, On-Line Editor

Have you ever been cruising down
a nice four lane highway, listening to
your new NIN CD, passing people in
the "passing lane" when suddenly,
you see Grandma Jenkins in the left
lane. She's just going about her
merry little way, sightseeing, and
doing about 35 in a 65 mpb zone. As
the long line of people you just
passed go by her.... The blood begins
rushing to your face, and you begin
to feel all flustered You want noth-
ing more than to get around this
ancient person, who you believe
shouldn't even be on the road.
Quickly, you swerve into the right
lane, where there might have been
room for a motorcycle. The car
behind you slams on its brakes, nar-
rowly avoiding an accident, and you
floor the gas, laughing as you fly by
dear old Mrs. Jenkins. My friends,
welcome, to road rage, one of the
leading causes of accidents these
days.

Road Rage is a serious problem
these days on the road. Especially in
cities. The last time I visited Detroit,
I watched as countless people passed
other cars on shoulders, and the turn-
ing lanes. I saw on the news how one
guy pulled out a baseball bat, and
promptly smashed the windshield of

the car next to him, that he had been
trying to pass for the last half mile.
And everywhere you go, you'll see
people try to beat out the yellow light
by flooring the gas. But what if that
person in front of you decides to wait
for the next green tight? Or what if
the people about to get the green tight
are a light jumpy, and decide to go a
little early. I've seen plenty of people
in accidents throughout my life, and
almost all could have been prevent-
ed, or at least not nearly as serious, if
for one thing. Patience.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm a fast
driver myself. But I know what are
good chances and bad ones. Iflcan't
pass someone, I'll just bide my time,
then fly by them at my earliest possi-
ble convenience. But driving 3 feet
from their back end at 65 miles per
hour on 1-79 just doesn't seem like
the wise thing to do. You never
know what they're going to do.
They could try to be funny, and slam
on their brakes for the heck of it
Trust me, I've seen quite a few bad
accidents come from this. But if so
many people weren't in the biggest
rush to get to the mall, to the store, or
to someone's house, and learned to
relax a little behind the wheel, our
roads just may be a safer place yet...

OPINION

Vega! from Page 3.

Knowing that unequivocal proof exists, why is evolution still a theory and not a debunk the evolution talk buzzing around Europe at the time. Darwin was also a

scientific law? Laws must be expressed mathematically. Evolution cannot be good scientist. He published his data, methods, analysis, and conclusions as any

expressed in this manner (although math is inherently used in testing methodolo- good scientists should. Science is an unbiased search for truth. In science, the

gies). Also, scientific laws are true all the time and apply to every known, and data, methods, analysis, etc., are all published so that anyone can repeat the analy-

even unknown, variation. The Law of Gravity, for instance, accounted for gravi- sis and derive the same results. Countless others have, using similar, and radical-

tational variations in celestial bodies which was not fully realized until the lunar ly different data and derive the same results. Evolution is a fact. Science is a proof

because of limitations in data, testing methodologies, etc., cannot yet account for
every single variation. I doubt it ever will considering that we are still unaware of
every single organism which inhabits or did inhabit the planet. Do these unknown
elements make what has been proven concerning evolution wrong. No. Will find-
ing some small piece of new evidence concerning some species change what is

Origin never once mentions human evolution. That came as a result of others
who applied Natural Selection to humans (repeating the analysis as previously
mentioned). The fossil record also clearly supports our ancestry.

Darwin was not the only person of his time to theorize Natural Selection. Alfred
Wallace published a theory identical to natural selection after decades of research

already proven? No. Can theories be rejected? Yes, if another competing theory in the jungles of Africa. Darwin's Origin was published only weeks ahead of

Selection theory, it has been tested and re-tested countless times. Not once has Origin was published. One, Henry Huxley, proclaimed "How extremely stupid not

from a genetic scale, to the molecular scale, to insects, to plants, to animals, etc., Evolution and Natural Selection does not state that humans evolved from mon-

pelling because it is a window to the past. The past shows the steady, systematic
progression of the evolution of organisms from single celled creatures to the most

evolved from apes, there would be no apes around, they would be us. The fossil
record clearly supports our heritage. It is just as obvious that a house cat is relat-
ed to a lion but not a direct descendant. But they do, in fact, share a common

good Darwin's theory is, the theories used to send man to the moon were not test-
ed half as much nor were they, at the time, as scientifically sound (accepted).
Religious pundits consistently speak of a raging debate in the scientific world con-
cerning evolution. The debate comes only from them as they believe certain sci-
entific issues such as evolution undermine their religious beliefs. Why their faith
in God should be shaken by the truth concerning the mechanisms of our origins is
beyond me. So, scientists typically take a stance which allows people to believe
what they want, all the while knowing the truth. Scientists know the scientific
process and how hard it is to unequivocally prove something in an unbiased man-
ner. When asked they respond with what they believe. Scientists
typically ignore public issues such as evolution because they find it
exceedingly hard to explain decades of learned knowledge in a few
summary comments. They also realize that it's rather difficult to
explain something to someone who has their fingers in their ears.

It constantly amazes me that so many people (all of us) greatly
rely on scientific laws and theories, we call the development of
those laws and theories technology, yet so many no only do no
understand the science behind the technology but we do not even
learn basic scientific principles and methods. Is it any wonder why
27 percent of adult Americans believe the Sun orbits the Earth? Or
that 53 percent of adult Americans do not know that the Earth takes
one year to orbit the Sun? Or that the vast majority of adult
Americans think that the Moon has no gravity, even though virtual-
ly all have seen actual pictures of people standing on its surface? I
can't help but wonder how many people who have strong opinions
on the Theory of Evolution have ever read Origins, or for that mat-
ter any credible scientific literature. I doubt many have.

Religion is a great thing. It provides a guide toward proper soci-
etal morality. However, using religious beliefs as a basis for scien-
tific knowledge is just plain wrong. If that is allowed, total scien-
tific illiteracy is a very real possibility. Religious persecution of
scientific knowledge helped lead to the Dark Ages. Let's not have
another.

Fifty-nine years is far too brief a time for any person to be on Earth,
and that is especially true in John's case. The announcement of John's
services included a brief poem by John Burroughs that expresses those
thoughts so well. Part of the poem read: "I still find each day too short

Trustees approve $54.5 budget

by Leslie Suhr

Clarion Call Managing Editor

and Mark Strieker

Clarion Call Staff Writer

Clarion University's Council of
Trustees unanimously approved a
$53,430,091 budget for the 1999-
2000 fiscal year. This was
approved at the September 23
meeting at Venango campus.

The budget includes a state
appropriation of $30.7 million
dollars for 56.4 percent of rev-
enues. Tuition of $20.8 million
contributes 38.2 percent of the
budget

The state appropriation is an
increase from $29.8 million dur-
ing the 1998-1999 fiscal year.
This is where the largest source of
funding comes from.

The Instructional Support Fee
(ISF) contributes more than $2
million in additional monies.

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.

A budget workshop was held
prior to the meeting in order to
explain the budget process.

Dr. Heather Haberaecker, vice
president for finance and adminis-
tration, said budget planning has
allowed Clarion to build healthier

budget reserves, climbing from
zero in 1993 to $500,000 for plant
fund reserves and $658,028 in
operating reserves at the end of
the 1998-99 operating year.

Haberaecker said that Clarion
benefits from an increase in state
appropriation based on enroll-
ment.

Clarion University President Dr.
Diane Reinhard said, "We did
very well when comparing our
enrollment with other schools in
western Pennsylvania. Some par-
ticular enrollment strengths
include a seven percent increase
in freshman at the Clarion campus
and strong increase in computer
science and business."

The approved operating budget
requires total allocations/deduc-
tions of $1,070,671 in the current
fiscal year.

Haberaecker noted that some of
the goals in the development of
the operating budget included pro-
viding fund for venture capital to
enhance existing or initiate new
programs and activities for the
university.

Also planned are to continue the
reallocation of funds from person-
nel compensation to the operating
budget so that by the end of a five-
year period, the personnel com-
pensation amount will equal 80
percent of the budget or less.

It is also hoped that the reduc-

tion in the budget will occur from
the elimination of vacant regular
positions and temporary positions
whenever possible.

Also, Reinhard said that CU is
moving ahead with new budget
planning, showing a more multi-
year process.

Additionally, a special budget
issues paper is the in the works to
be distributed to the University
community concerning budgeting
background as well as long-term
budgeting needs.

In developing the budget for the
1999-2000 fiscal year the
University looked at several fac-
tors including developing a bal-
anced budget, and looking at the
inflation rate. Other goals that
continue to be looked at include
reducing personnel versus operat-
ing budgets to meet the required
budget reductions in probiding
funds required to meet new tech-
nology demands.

The Council of Trustees
approved a similar budget for the
1998-1999 fiscal year. The
approved budget was for
$53,325,100 and was a $1.4 mil-
lion increase from $51,886,600
the previous year.

The next meeting of the Council
of Trustees is scheduled for
Thursday, November 18 at the
new Student Recreation Center on
the Clarion campus.

Contract talks resume

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

According to the Associated
Press, negotiations were expected
to have begun Wednesday in
Harrisburg to avoid a strike by
thousands of college professors in
the 14 state-owned universities.

If further talks on Wednesday do
not result in any type of agree-
ment, William Fulmer, the presi-
dent of the Association of
Pennsylvania State College and
University Faculties (APSCUF),
could announce the decision to
strike on Thursday. The decision
will be given at East Stroudsburg
University.

Kevin Kodish, APSCUF
spokesman said, "You always
have hope."

However, he added, "I don't
think it will be long before the
strike is called."

"I am disappointed by the
union's vote. A strike would be
extremely harmful to our more
than 95,000 students, the universi-
ties and the communities they
serve. I believe that the faculty
recognize, as the State System
does, that a strike is not the
answer. The best solution, espe-
cially for our students, is to con-
tinue collective bargaining until a
fair and reasonable contract agree-
ment is reach. The State System
remains committed to doing just
that," said Chancellor James H.
McCormick.

Disagreements on pay, health
benefits, and other issues have
contributed to the failure of the
four day talks between the two
sides.

On Monday, the seven-member
executive leadership team of the
union gave Fulmer the authority to
call the strike. This executive
team voted to strike if the union
and State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) cannot settle on
a new faculty contract. The facul-
ty has not had a contract for three

months.

A walkout next week by all
5,500 could hurt the fall semester
currently approaching mid-terms.
University and state officials insist
the semester will not be canceled
for the 90,000 students. Plans to
extend classes to Saturday, length-
en the time of classes, and have
evening classes are being consid-
ered to make up for the lost time in
class rooms.

"It is our intent to keep the uni-
versities open throughout the
strike," said State spokesperson
Kenn Marshall. "We anticipate if
there is a strike, there would be
some faculty members who would
continue to teach."

Negotiations between SSHE and
the union ended Saturday without
an agreement being reached.

The State System claims the pro-
posal they submitted to APSCUF
would grant some professors a
raise of up to 20.5 percent over the
next three years.

This pay scale, which the state
wants to restructure will retain the
same salary increase but stretch
them over a longer period so they
will take three more years to reach
the top of the scale.

"The offer we have made is very
fair," said McCormick. "It would
continue to ensure our faculty is
well compensated for the excellent
job they do. We will continue to
work toward a settlement for our
students. I urge the faculty union
to do the same."

The state now does not receive
money from books or other works
that professors produce while
teaching, officials want to change
that.

Half of the first $100,000 in
profits is what the state is propos-
ing to the union, arguing that the
professors are using university
time and resources to produce
their works.

The faculty union feels that the
state will be profiting from faculty
ideas.

President answers Student Senate's questions

by Kristie Linden and

Rachel McDowell

Clarion Call Staff Writers

Clarion University President,
Dr. Diane Reinhard and Tim
Fogarty, Associate Vice President
of Finance Administration, attend-
ed the Student Senate meeting on
Monday to answer questions
about the possible faculty strike.

"This has been a very difficult
fall here in Clarion, with all of the
tragedy we've had on campus.
But there are other things happen-
ing that will, hopefully, make for a
good fall overall," said Reinhard.
She continued, " Clarion is still
a great university."

The State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) put a new offer
on the table this past weekend and
Dr. Reinhard announced that,
hopefully, negotiations will
resume on Wednesday, October
6.

Reinhard explained the strike
authorization vote means the fac-
ulty has delegated the authority to
call a strike on the part of
Association of Pennsylvania State
College and University Faculties
(APSCUF).

"The State System is pleased
with the faculty, and they believe
in compensating the faculty well,"
said Reinhard.

Reinhard added that the
statewide Board of Governors
decides how it will allocate funds
to professors, while trying to keep
the tuition rate low and afford-
able.

Senate Parliamentarian Mike
Mangieri asked, "If the strike is
too long to continue the semester,
what will happen to our money?"
Fogarty believes that the
University will continue to oper-
ate as normally as possible in the
event of a strike.

Senator Cornelius Edwards
asked if students would be housed
and fed during the strike.

"Yes, the university will remain
open. The residence halls, cafete-
ria, and Gemmell will all remain
open." Various other campus
buildings will continue to meet

the needs of students.

"We'll try to continue to operate
as normally as possible," said
Fogarty.

Athletic schedules will not
change, and students with jobs on
campus will be expected to report
to work.

Reinhard added that the univer-
sity doesn't want graduates to suf-

up the time missed.

Fogarty said, "The plan is to
keep students on track whether
they are graduating this fall or are
incoming freshmen."

Senator Laurie Young asked
how students would know if a
strike occurs.

Fogarty advises students to go to
all of their classes for a few days
to see if the faculty will be there.

Linda Smiley/The Clarion Call

Dr. Reinhard, University President, and Tim
Fogarty, Associate Vice President of Finance
Administration, answered questions at the Student
Senate meeting Monday.

fer. She feels that every effort will
be made to see those with upcom-
ing graduation dates finish on
time.

Fogarty admitted, however, that
he doesn't know what will happen
in terms of refunding tuiton, or if
that is even a possibility. He
believes this decision is up to
SSHE to make.

Senator Stroup had concerns
over current class schedules. He
wanted to know if this semester
would be repeated.

Fogarty noted currentiy the fall
semsester could be completed on
time. Depending on the duration
of the strike, classes may be
lengthened, and there is a possi-
bility of weekend classes to make

He believes that faculty are
going to be able to continue to
teach if they choose to.

"How many faculty members do
you honestly expect to stay and
teach?," questioned Senate
Treasurer Brian Sowa.

Fogarty has heard many opin-
ions about an estimated 50-70 per-
cent of the faculty remaining, but
he could not provide concrete fig-
ures.

He did mention APSCUF's local
president, Mrs. Susan Traynor
"... would like it if none of the fac-
ulty taught (during the strike)."

Clarion's administration is cur-
rently working on a system to
keep students informed if the
strike occurs.

A telephone system/hotline was
mentioned by Fogarty that would
enable students to call in to hear
updates on the situation.

Students can also check
APSCUF, SSHE, and added links
to Clarion's web sites.

Senator Jennifer Mathis ques-
tioned when the earliest strike
date could be.

'Technically it could happen
tomorrow," said Fogarty.

Vice President Amy Moeslein
questioned what student groups
with advisors are going to do. She
wanted to know if the groups are
expected to continue without
advisors.

Fogarty is unaware of what
APSCUF's position is on the issue
of advising organizations.

Senate President Leslie Suhr
expressed concern over students
with financial aid.

Fogarty assured Senate that as
long as students are in good stand-
ing with the University and are
making progress, their packages
shouldn't be affected.

There are currently no plans to
replace faculty on strike.

Binding arbitration has been
offered by APSCUF, which means
that both sides would put their last
best offers on the table and let an
arbitrator choose one proposal or
the other.

The Board of Governors feels
that binding arbitration takes
away duties given to them by leg-
islation and is reluctant to agree to
it

At last week's Senate meeting,
Mrs. Traynor addressed the group
and had very different thoughts
about negotiation and binding
arbitration.

Senator Dani Jo Close said, "I
couldn't help but notice that Mrs.
Traynor was for the arbitration,
which may avoid the strike and
create compromise, but SSHE
had nothing positive to say about
it"

"Clarion University has an out-
standing faculty. Sue Traynor and
I will continue to be professional
if a strike comes along," said
Reinhard.

The Presidential Commission on
the Status of Women is pleased to
announce a second round of Rape
Awareness Defense System work-
shops (RADS) for female stu-
dents, faculty and staff.

This program has been offered
for 3 years, and is taught by

Officers Greg Smith and Sandy
McCleary of Public Safety.

It stresses awareness, preven-
tion, and reduction of the risk of
rape and assault.
The program is designed to help
females recognize when they are
in a dangerous situation and how
to handle it.

Its purpose is to help, prevent

and deal with things before they
happen. A fair amount of self
defense will be offered in the pro-
gram.

The Presidential Commission of
Women and public safety hope to
educate females about their rights
and how to stay safe.

Another goal is to show them
how to get help if something hap-

pens to them.

Venango campus in the past has
hosted the program.

The program is offered four
times a year, twice in the fall, once
in the spring and once in the sum-
mer.

This 12-hour workshop will be
offered in B-8 Hart Chapel from
6-10 p.m. on October 31,

November 7, and November 14.

Please call Public Safety at 226-
2111 to reserve a spot.

No more than 16 women will be
allowed to register for the work-
shop and first preference will be
given to students.

National Depression
Screening next week

Courtesy of Department
of Counseling Services

People say college is supposed
to be great, but many students feel
like they're just out of it, discon-
nected, and alone.

They feel sad, trapped inertia,
hopeless, and not "up to the chal-
lenge" of college.

If you feel this way and can't
shake yourself out of it no matter
what you do, you might be suffer-
ing from clinical depression.

Depression is more than just a
bad day, the result of a bad grade,
or a little future anxiety.

It is a treatable disorder that can
leave you feeling so bad that you
forget how it feels to feel good.

On Wednesday, October 13, the
Department of Counseling
Services will be offering free,
confidential screenings for
depression where you can fill out

a quick self-test and talk with a
counselor about your personal sit-
uation.

This screening is part of a
nationwide event offered to the
university and the community as
well.

Even if you don't have depres-
sion, you are invited to come and
take advantage of the program and
learn about what services are
available on campus.

You may learn something that
will help you or a friend of a fam-
ily member in the future.

The screenings and information
sessions are being held
Wednesday, October 13, at
Clarion University in 250/252
Gemmell from 10 a.m. until 12
noon and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

For more information, you may
call the Department of Counseling
Services at 226-2255 or call toll-
free 1-800-573-4433.

Symptoms of clinical
depression include:

'Persistent, sad anxious, or "empty" mood
*Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism,
guilt, helplessness, and worthlessness
loss of interest or pleasure in usual activi-
ties
'Sleeping too much or too little

'Changes in appetite
'Decreased energy, fatigue, and

feeling "slowed down"

'Thoughts of death or suicide;

suicide attempts

'Increased restlessness and irritabitity

'Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or

making decisons

'Physical symptoms - such as headaches,

digestive disorders and chronic pain - that

don't respond to medical treatment

Community helps a child

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor

Runa Kuna, an Ecuadorian band
that plays at cultural events during
Autumn Leaf Festival, turned to
the Clarion community for sup-
port and help in aiding a band
member's son.

Luis Orlando Sinchico, son of
Alfonso and Angelino Sinchico,
came to the United States to
receive a new arm.

Orlando had contracted a bone
infection and had experienced sig-
nificant loss of function in his
upper arm. It constantly dislocat-
ed from the shoulder.

Sinchico first contacted Dr.
Vincent Spina, chair of the
Modem Languages Department,
who served as a translator during
the initial visit.

Spina said, "I was on sabbatical
studying Hispanic Indian culture,
when I visited Sinchico's in their
home of Octavalo, Ecquador.
They then told me about
Orlando's problem with his arm."

Cathy Joslyn, a professor of art
at Clarion, invited the family into
her home.

Art Barlow, a professor of com-
munication at Clarion, and his
wife, Sheila, an associate profes-
sor of nursing at Indiana
University of PA, later hosted
Alfonso and his family in their
home while Orlando received
medical treatment.

The Barlows had previously
helped to find medical assistance
for a visiting Peruvian child with
an orthopedic condition at the
Shriner's Hospital for Children,
Erie. Butch Campbell, a member
of the Clarion County Shriner
Club and the Zem Zem Temple,
helped with the case.

The Shriners operate 18 hospi-
tals and tree bum units in the
United States and Canada.

The hospitals offer free medical
care to anyone from birth through
21 years of age. Acceptance is
based on need and if the child will
have a better quality of life.

The first obstacle that needed to
be overcome was the translating

of medical records.

Spina requested the help of Dr.
Angela Escriva, part time modem
language faculty member at
Clarion. She posted documents
on a web site and contacted her
father who is a retired medical
doctor.

Joslyn put the information
together to send to Shriners to
determine if they could help the
child.

The translation suggested that
Orlando contracted isteomylius as
a complication of having
encephalitis of the heart.

With medical papers and visas
on hand, Orlando and other fami-
ly members flew into New York,
Runa Kuna's base for their yearly
performance schedule.

They stayed with the Barlow
family until they required appoint-
ments.

Denny Rifenberrick of Clarion,
who earned his undergraduate
degree in Spanish in 1996 and a
master's degree in communication
in 1998 from Clarion University,
became the next source of help.

Rifenberrick had acted as a
translator when he accompanied
students to Costa Rica where Dr.
Spina had taught them a class. He
served as a translator and helped
with Dr. Joslyn's art presentations
in Costa Rica.

"I had to study some medical
terminology before I could do
anything," said Rifenberrick.

Orlando's initial surgery was in
May 1999. A second surgery
occurred six weeks later.

"The second operation appears
successful. The bones are finally
knitting. It looks like he will
regain the use of his arm, " said
Art Barlow.

"The community embraced
Runa Kuna from the first time
they visited. Without the help of
the Clarion community, I don't
think Orlando would have a
chance for a normal life," Barlow
said.

Runa Kuna was hired by Karen
Pope, Executive Director of the
Chamber of Commerce.

Disorderly Conduct

According to Public Safety, 21-
year-old Amy Bleistein of
Berwick, PA, was observed uri-
nating in parking lot seven
besides the Mac-Machine, and
was charged with disorderly
conduct. There were several
people walking in the area,
while the officer was sitting in a
running car beside her.

Underage Drinking

Joleen Richards a 19-year-old,
from Warren PA, was charged
with public drunkenness and
underage drinking on Saturday,
October 2, according to Public
Safety. The defendant alleged-
ly consumed several beers at a
party, and when she arrived to
campus, she was in a semi-
conscious and unresponsive
state. She was transported to
Clarion Hospital by ambulance
on Saturday, October 2.

According to Public Safety, 18
year-old Erling Oster of
Edinboro, PA. was seen by an
officer carrying a can of beer
through parking lot five. After
he was identified and deter-
mined to be underage, he was
found to be staggering , had
slurred speech and had a
strong odor of alcohol on his
breath. During a pat down
search the officer found what is
believed to be marijuana and a
pipe. The evidence was sent to
Erie Crime Lab for analysis.
After the results are in, charges
will be filed.

Public Drunkenness

Robert Blair an 1 8-year-old of
Smethport, PA, tried to run into
traffic on Greenville Avenue on
Saturday, October 2, according
to Public Safety. An officer
observed the action and
stopped the individual who
smelled of an alcoholic addi-
tive. Blair was carrying an
empty glass with an odor of an
alcoholic beverage and admit-
ted to drinking. He was then
charged with public drunken-
ness due to placing^ himself
and others in danger.

CUP theater show

A cause for 'Celebration'

by Jacque Walsh

Clarion Call

Assistant Lifestyles Editor

"Celebration," a musical with
words by Tom Jones and music
by Harvey Schmidt opened the
1999-2000 Clarion University
of Pennsylvania Theater
Season, "Visions and Values."
Performances were scheduled
October fifth through the ninth
at eight p.m. in the Marwick-
Boyd Little Theater.

"This is unlike many musicals
the audience has seen before,"
says Robert Levy, associate
professor of speech communi-
cation and theatre and director
of the play. "This is not a tradi-
tional musical comedy and is
definitely not a traditional
Broadway musical comedy. It
was written as an attempt to
bring about new musical theater
formats. It was an experimental
off-off Broadway production
that found its way onto The
Great White Way. "Life" maga-
zine featured it when it opened
because of its unusual produc-
tion. It is a companion piece to

Jones and Schmidt's "The
Fantakticks," but is different in
form and style.

"Celebration" begins on New
Year's Eve with a symbolic
eclipse of the sun, foreshadow-
ing the play's battle between
winter and summer, youth and
decrepedness, and innocence
and jaded commercialism. An
assembled tribe hears the para-
ble of the Orphan.

Young Orphan is looking for
his long lost garden of beautiful
peace. He enters a night filled
with a host of bizarre charac-
ters, including the richest man
in the world and a beautiful fall-
en Angel, who is part of his
entourage. Mr. Rich has not felt
emotion for over twenty-five
years, but with the Orphan's
help, he once again achieves
humanity, only to find himself
in deadly competition with
youth for the Angel's love.

"This is a timeless play, not
mired in the 1960s when it was
written," says Levy. "It is not
presented as a historical piece.
It is about natural cycles, the
idea of new hope, and a new

year." were on stage throughout the

The four principals which performance except for costume

include the narrator, Potemkin, and mask changes. The remain-

der of the cast, all masked,
appear in a variety of roles. The
orchestra was set-up behind the
action, something that was rev-
olutionary on Broadway when
this play opened.

The set for "Celebration" is a
pseudo-Shakespearean unit set,
with intricate multiple levels.
The cast wore colorful cos-
tumes and masks. Although the
play is quite popular in high
schools and colleges, parents
are advised that the production
contains some situations that
may not be appropriate for chil-
dren.

The principal cast included
Christopher Taylor as
Potemkin, Matthew Croyle as
Orphan, Seana Simon as The
Angel, and Eric Grugel as Rich.
There were also important
people behind the scenes,
Patrick McGroarty was the set
director, Edward Powers light-
ing, costumes by Darcie Riedel,
music by James Hollinsworth
and Martin Savolskis was the
choreographer.

The play was filled with twists
and charisma. All of the actors
were splendid and brought their
own spunk to the stage. When
asked what she thought of the
play, freshmen Laura
Heffelfinger said, "I really
enjoyed it, and it was definitely
not what I expected.

18th through the 19th at 8:00

Music Review

Filter smooths out the rough edges

by Keith B. Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

A lot has changed in the rock
world since Filter released its
1995 debut record, Short Bus.
Midgets now rap alongside white-
trash rockers who can't grasp the
concept of shampoo (Kid Rock),
and the only notable hit single an
industrial rock band can muster is
a bad cover of a 1983 dance clas-
sic (Orgy with New Order's "Blue
Monday"). It's a sad state of
affairs, and Filter has been all but
invisible during that time.

Aside from a few soundtrack
cuts, which did kick major butt
(their electrifying collaboration

with rave gods The Crystal
Method, "Trip Like I Do," and
their blood-boiling cover of Harry
Neisson's "One"), Filter has been
deathly quiet. They've undergone
roughly 15 gazillion lineup
changes, as lead singer Richard
Patrick (brother of the guy who
played the T-1000 in Terminator
2', for all you useless trivia fans)
is the only remaining original
member. With their new disc,
Title of Record (ohhh, what an
inventive title!), Filter tries to
climb to the top of the fickle pop
heap once again.

Title of Record is both a success
and failure. It's a major improve-
ment over Short Bus, which, for

all its pretensions, was a letdown.
Aside from a few standout tracks
like the industrial anthem "Hey
Man Nice Shot" (NOT about Kurt
Cobain; let me put that rumor to

bed now) and the raging "Under,"
the remainder of the album came
across as over-produced and
unmemorable sludge that just
oozed out of the speakers. On
Title of Record, however, Patrick
seems to have honed his writing
skills to a razor-sharp edge, and
the production, while still ground-
ed in the industrial aesthetic,
flows into other genres, and is
crystal-clear.

What's most surprising is that
Patrick's songwriting has not only
improved, but it has expanded;
he's not just writing "I hate you"
rockers anymore. Oh sure,
Record does have its share of
those, witness the album-opener

and leadoff single, "Welcome To
the Fold," but he has also crafted a
few calmer, even introspective
songs. The finest example of this
is "Take A Picture," which is
undeniably the high point of the
album. With an acoustic guitar
and gentle drum programming,
Patrick sings "My skin is
bare.. .and I feel like a newborn, I
feel so real..." and "Can everyone
agree that no one should be left
alone." It's not exactly
Shakespeare, but it's an improve-
ment over most industrial rock
sentiments, which are mostly vari-
ations of "I want to f*** you like
an animal!" While most rockers
nowadays are building walls
around themselves like paranoid
misanthropic rejects from Pink
Floyd's The Wall, Patrick is rip-
ping his down, both musically and
lyrically. It's a move that will
probably lose some of their older
fans, but it'll gain many new ones.
It's not exactly 'industrial
music' per se, anymore. It sounds
like the illegitimate child of Nine
Inch Nails and Matchbox 20, as at

Movie Review

'Three Kings' deserving of a crown

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

What's going on here? Not
too long ago, George Clooney
was stinking up the big screen
in bombs like 'The Peacemaker'
and 'One Fine Day,' not to men-
tion the atrocious 'Batman and
Robin,' which, in my humble
opinion, was the worst movie
ever made. But now Clooney's
career is experiencing a strong
resurgence that began with 'Out
of Sight' and continues with his
newest film, 'Three Kings.'

Completely ignore the lame
trailers that made 'Kings' look
like a cross between
'Commando' and 'Three

video "Sabotage" and Fatboy
Slim's quirky video for "Praise
You," nearly steals the show.
As for co-star Mark Wahlberg,

I *M"

let's just say that his work in
'Kings' helped me to forgive
him for introducing the world to
"Good Vibrations."

Amigos.' Craftily blending
dark comedy with a disturbing
look at the atrocities of war,
'Kings' is one of the most
intriguing films to hit the
screens so far this fall.

I'll agree, though, 'Three
Kings' sounded like it would be
a huge bust when I learned
which stars were attached to the
project: Clooney, Mark
Wahlberg, rapper Ice Cube, and
music video director Spike
Jonze. However, the somewhat
odd casting job pays off big
time. Jonze, the creative mind
behind the classic Beastie Boys

group of soldiers stationed in
Iraq during the waning days of
the Gulf War. After finding a
top secret map hidden in the
anus (don't ask) of a captured
Iraqi soldier, the soldiers learn
that the map leads to a fortune
in Kuwaiti gold bullion stolen
by the Iraqis. Rather than return
home to their normal lives bro-
ken-spirited and empty-pocket-
ed, Clooney, Wahlberg, Cube,
and Jonze go AWOL in order to
find and steal the gold.

Somewhere along the line, the
soldiers remember that the real
reason why they came to Iraq

was to protect the innocents
being slaughtered by Saddam
Hussein's forces. The four men
ultimately wind up breaking
U.S. -imposed cease fire and
battling the Iraqi army in order
to defend a group of refugees.

'Kings' only gets bogged
down when writer/director
David O. Russel ('Flirting With
Disaster') inserts bizarre cam-
era shots just for the heck of it.
For example, we don't really
need to see angry clouds shoot-
ing past Ice Cube's head at
lightning speed during a battle
with the Iraqis. If anything,
Russel's camera techniques
blunted the emotional impact
that some of the scenes in
'Kings' could have had if they
were played straight. At times,
I wondered if Russel had ran-
domly written the phrase "Insert
cool -looking scene here" into
his screenplay.

However, that's only a minor
detraction of an otherwise great
film. 'Three Kings' will hope-
fully be playing in Clarion long
enough for everyone to have a
chance to see one of the finest
exploding cow sequences ever
filmed. I'm not going to say
anything else about that subject,
only that you'll never look at
ribeye the same way again.

Review: 3 1/2 stars

FILTER! a review of the new
record, from Page 11.

Nine Inch Nails and Matchbox
20, as at some points, there's
not much substance to the
music, besides Patricks thin,
screeching voice. The good
points on the album outweigh
the bad, though.

Record comes out of the gate
strong with "Welcome To the
Fold," a seven-minute opus
that whips you around. My
cousin confided in me that he
thought it was the worst-writ-
ten song he's ever heard, but I
have to disagree. The first half
of the album is dominated by
rapid-fire synth rock jams in
that vein, with non-stop indus-
trial beats and ripping guitars.
"The Best Things" is another
fine example.

But after the mid- way point,
"Take A Picture," the tone is
slowed down a little.
Occasionally, the slower songs
get a little sappy, as if they
were trying way to hard to
craft a hit single, but on the
whole, it works. The songwrit-
ing dips slightly towards the
end, but nowhere near as bad
as it did on Short Bus.

All in all, Title of Record is a
flawed, but enjoyable listen.
It's not revolutionary, but it's
not a step backwards either.
It's better than most of today's
rock, although that's not say-
ing much. Filter gets a 3 out of
5 stars for Title of Record.

Kirkpatrick
returns home

by Jeff Say
^ Clarion CaH Mitor-In-Chief

Clarion's 1999 Autumn Leaf
Festival parade, titled "An
Autumn Mardi Gras," weaved its
way down Main Street on
Saturday accompanied by a
strange noise. What I originally
thought was a low flying high
pitched airplane turned out to be a
thousand shrieking adolescent
girls chasing their teen idol, Chris
Kirkpatrick of 'N Sync.

Kirkpatrick, a native of Clarion,
appeared as the parade's Grand
Marshall this year. Earlier in the
day Kirkpatrick held a press con-
ference in the Chandler Dining
Hall for the press and around 50
lucky fans who had the privilege
of eating with "the cutest boy
who ever lived" as one teeny-
bopper described him.

Kirkpatrick attended school in
the Oil City area where he first
got his start in theatre.
Kirkpatrick said that his favorite
part of being a star is that every-
thing gets blown out of propor-
tion. An example of that is his
most recognizable trait had to be
removed so he wouldn't be
chased. "I cut my braids off on
vacation; the braids were like a
neon sign."

Kirkpatrick was asked how he
felt about most of his fans being
in the teen range. "Our fan base
is 13-30 and it is very satisfying
selling out tours to all people."

I asked Chris if he felt that
there was a saturation of 'N
Sync's type of music. "I'm not
going to talk bad about everyone
else, over time the good or re-
groups will stay around and the
ones out to sell some posters will
disappear," he replied.

'N Sync's music is also consid-
ered rather "clean" by today's
standards, and Kirkpatrick was
asked how aware they are of their
lyrics. "Clarion has a big part to
do with it! This is where we came
from; this is how we were raised,"
Kirkpatrick said.

Writing about bras
is very hard work

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist

As a professional newspaper
columnist with both medical AND
dental benefits, I receive many let-
ters from people who would like
to get into my line of work.

"Dear Dave," they write. "I'm
sick of my boring dead-end job as
a (lawyer, teacher, office worker,
Tipper Gore). How do I develop
the skills I need to obtain a job
like yours, where you have an
opportunity to make a difference,
even though you never actually
do?"

OK, then: Today I'm going to
take you "behind the scenes" here
at Dave Barry Inc., and reveal,
step-by-step, exactly how I write a
column.

Step One is to come up with a
topic. I'm always thinking about
possible topics, from the moment
my alarm goes off at 6 a.m.,
through the moment I actually get
out of the bed, at around 10:15.
During that period, I take a series
of decompression naps while
monitoring the morning TV shows
to find out what the news is.
Unfortunately, the morning news
shows no longer show the news;
They're too busy showing the
crowd of people who stand around
outside the TV studio for hours on
end waving at the camera and
holding signs that say: "HI!".

Evidently these people are too
stupid to operate telephones, and
this is the only way they have to
communicate with their families
or ward attendants back home.
Sometimes the TV personalities
go outside; I always hope that
they'll point firearms at the sign-
holders and yell, "GO HOME,"
but instead they ask the sign-hold-
ers where they're from. The fas-
cinating answers never fail to

amaze and delight everybody
("Ohio?? Great!!")

So I have no column topic when
I emerge from the bedroom to fix
myself a hearty breakfast of cof-
fee with extra coffee. My next
step is to look through the daily
newspaper, which I have found to
be an invaluable and amazingly
rich source of advertisements for
women's underwear. Every other
page has an ad featuring female
models in lingerie; you get the
impression, from newspapers, that

at least 80 percent of the Gross
National Product is brassieres.
Why? Do women really need to
be sold on the concept of wearing
underwear? Do they smack their
foreheads and go, "THAT'S what
I need! Something under my
clothing!"?

But you can't write a profes-
sional column about women's
underwear. You need a topic with
some "meat" to it, such as the U.S.
Trade Deficit, which is an impor-
tant issue that the newspaper often
puts next to the brassiere ads. I
work at home because, as a pro-
fessional writer, I find that a soli-
tary environment enables me,
whenever the muse strikes, to clip
my toenails. This particular muse
strikes more often than a French
labor union. I'll be pondering the
Trade Deficit, and I'll glance at

my toenails and think, "Hey!
Those babies have grown at
LEAST three thousandths of an
inch since I last clipped them!"
So I grab the clippers, which I
always keep handy, and soon I'm
hard at work. All your top writers
do this. If you don't believe me,
go up to, say, Norman Miller, and
have some friends hold him down
while you remove his shoes and
socks. If his toenails aren't
trimmed to the base, I'll pay you
$10. I'll need color photographs.
Another reason why creative
individuals prefer to work at
home, as opposed to the office, is
that when you need to scratch
yourself, you don't have to sneak
behind the copying machine and
settle for a hasty grope. At home,
you can rear back and assault the
affected region with both hands,
or, if you want, gardening imple-
ments.

But you cannot scratch yourself
forever. You are not a profession-
al baseball player; you are a news-
paper columnist, and sooner or
later you have to "knuckle down"
and get to work on the task at
hand, which is: lunch.

After lunch, it's time to get back
to thinking about the Trade
Deficit. The key, with a complex
issue like this, is: research. A pro-
fessional newspaper column has
to be 800 words long, which is
why I cannot say it enough:
research, research, research.
Among the questions that need to
be answered are: What, exacUy, IS
the "Trade Deficit"? For this kind
of technical detail, I get on the
telephone to my Research
Assistant, Judi Smith, who is a
wealth of information.

"Judi," I say, "How come there
are so many newspaper ads for
women's underwear?"

"I think because men like to look
at women in brassieres," she
replies.

Both my wife and Judi agree
that nobody ever buys a bra from
an ad. It frankly makes me won-
der if this could be a contributing
factor to the Trade Deficit.
Somebody should think about
this. I'd do it, but these toenails
are not getting any shorter.

ALF marches away with parade

by Nicole Mike
Clarion Call Staff Writer

As sure as the leaves will fall
from the trees, another ALF has
come and gone. As usual, it leaves
behind many good times and mem-
ories along with everyone's
favorite - the Autumn Leaf Parade.
Now whether you are a loyal
observer or a first-timer there was,
as always, something for everyone.
Some people came out in droves
to see Grand Marshall and Clarion
native Chris Kirkpatrick, of the pop
group 4 N Sync. Some came from
as far as Orlando just to get a quick
glimpse. Thousands of spectators
watched as the brightly designed
floats, decorated for Mardi Gras,
made their way down Main Street.
All the fraternities and sororities
entered their brilliant designs, but
the jester mask on the Phi Sigma
Sigma and Theta Chi float helped
them take first place in the Clarion
University float division. Helping
Hands Day Care followed along,

also decorated for Mardi Gras, tak-
ing second place in the community
float division.

The Homecoming Court arrived
in their brand new Ford pick-up
trucks. More royalty arrived as
Jolene Bartley, Miss Teen ALF,
waved to the crowd.

This year's special guests includ-
ed former Grand Marshall Jeff
Verzyla, Don Cannon, and Yvonne
Zanos all from KDKA-2. They
were also joined by Dave Johnson
from WPXI-11, and everyone's
favorite groundhog, Punxytawney
Phil.

Clarion University marching
band performed for the crowd
along with the cheerleaders and
dance team. The Clarion Men's
Rugby team came by as well,
proudly carrying the American
flag.

When you add up the great bands,
colorful costumes and beautiful
weather you get a perfect day and a
perfect 46th annual Autumn Leaf
Parade!

Eagles fall flat against the Rock,45-7

By John C. Crawford
Clarion CaJU Staff writer #

The Clarion Golden Eagles
football team went down early
against #4 ranked Slippery Rock
University, and never was able to
recover. Slippery Rock defeated
Clarion 45-7 to spoil Clarion's
homecoming last Saturday.

SRU started the game with good
field position , at their own 38.
the first possession lasted slightly
over a minute ending with a 19-
yard touchdown pass from SRU
quarterback Randy McKavish
(7/13, 52 yards, 1 TO, INT) to
wideout Brad Foot.

Clarion's first drive stalled
immediately, following a holding
penalty on the first play from
scrimmage. On the next series,
SRU went three-and-out, but the
Clarion offense could not build
upon the defensive effort.

The game began to turn when
Slippery Rock mounted a 14 play,
56 yard drive, which ate up half
the quarter. Dorian Glenn (11 car-
ries, 92 yards, 1 TD) capped the
drive with a 4 yard TD run with
1:54 to play in the quarter.

On the ensuing kick-off, coach
Malen Luke called a reverse to
Kervin Charles. However,
Charles lost the handle, and SRU
recovered the fumble at the

Clarion 16. On the next play,
McKavish (8 carries, 84 yards, 3 3
TD) scrambled away from
Clarion's defense and darted into
the endzone.

Down 21-0, Clarion's offense
appeared to respond. Starting at
his own 19, freshman quarterback
Adam Almashy (15/25, 159 yards,
1 INT) began to run, and hit sev-
eral recievers on short patterns.
Clarion put together an 11-play
drive, which grounded to a halt at
the SRU 41.

However punter Jason Flora
pinned the Rock at the 6-yard line.
The Eagles' defense took Slippery
Rock three-and-put. But once
more the offense failed to capital-
ize. After two penalties, Clarion
went three-and-out, losing 11
yards.

The back-breaking drive came
with 5:54 left in the second. A 58-
yard run by Dorian Glenn, set up
Mckavish with a four yard touch-
down run. This ended up being
the play of the game because it put
Clarion away for good.

SRU tacked on another TD after
a fumble by Clarion QB Maurice
Brown. The teams went to the
locker room with a 35-0 score.

SRU racked up 234 yards of
total offense in the first half. 182
yards came on the ground.
Clarion proved especially weak

IN XL Hi iJ ri K+KJ

against the run on spread forma-
tions. SRU's defense limited
Clarion only 71 total yards.

Clarion opened the second half
deep in their own end. SRU took
over once more, when LB Mike
Welhosky intercepted Almshy at
the Clarion 22. SRU kicker
Morgan Anderson knocked in a
39-yarder to put Slippery Rock
up38-0. Following a punt block
after the next Clarion series,
McKavish rushed in for his third
TD of the game.

Clarion mounted its best drive of
the game to end the third march-
ing 56 yards on 11 plays.
However, Clarion failed to con-
vert on fourth-and-nine at the
SRU 30.

After another exchange of punts
Clarion managed its only points of
the game. SRU back-up QB, Ted
Campagna fumbled on his own
goalline. Clarion LB Kevin Platz
recovered the ball in the endzone
to put Clarion on the board with
8:54 to play in the fourth.

SRU began to run out the clock.
Slippery Rock ran off the final
minute, to seal the 45-7 victory.

Clarion coach Malen Luke said
of the loss, "They just deflated."
Luke felt there were few positive
to be taken from the game. He
also expressed concerns about the
your of his Clarion squad, saying

CU swimming
preparing for season

by Ryan Conley
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Clarion swimming is back for another successful year of competition.
Clarion is looking to win the PSAC title this year. The season is just a
couple of weeks away and the training intensity has increased from 8 to
20 hours a week in the pool. This years freshman class is looking good
so far in workouts and are expected to contribute this year.

Although Clarion looks virtually unbeatable, head coach Bill Miller
foresees tough competition this year. "I feel the favorites are West
Chester for the men and for the women IUP". Coach Miller is expects
the women to finish in the top 5 nationally and the men are also expect-
ed to make an impact nationally.

Defense of the PSAC title will begin at home October 29 at 5 p.m.
when Clarion hosts the Pre-Season Invitational. Come out and support
the Golden Eagles who are led by last years 200 meter breast stroke
champion Nicolina Diloreto and host of other All- Americans.

Ladies tennis young,
but talented

by Josiah Jones
.Clarion Call Staff Writer

This years tennis team is
comprised of all freshman.
This would make one believe
that it would be an off year
for the tennis team; But that
isn't the case.

The Clarion tennis team has
a 3-4-0 record. Which is bet-
ter than five other teams in
the PSAC. The PSAC con-
sists of 11 teams including
Clarion.

Last week, Erin Glatz was
Player of the Week in the
PSAC conference. She was
3-0 in PSAC single matches,
plus a 3-0 record in doubles
play which brought her total
to a perfect 6-0. She won
matches against Slippery
Rock, IUP, and West Chester
in both singles and doubles.

The tennis team is young,
but very talented. In a couple

of years they will probably be
one of the best teams in the
PSAC conference. Other
members on the team are
Cara Bobish, Jen Spaid,
Brooke Vukich, Tonya Leed,
Brandy Vukich, Janet Irvin,
and Michelle Longley round
out the team.

The team has three matches
left.First they go to Gannon
this week and October 9th
they host California. They
close out their year against
Edinboro.

Big Ten
Report

by Shawn Gibbs
TMS Campus

Tom Izzo's Spartans have made
almost as much news off the
court this summer as they did
on the hardwood last winter.

Izzo's former players are
now making news. Antonio
Smith was acquitted September
30 on larceny. Smith, now a
free agent signee of the New
York Knicks, was accused of
taking a 40-ounce bottle of beer
from a convience store.
Although a bottle of beer was
found in Smith's possession
when pulled over, the jury, after
deliberating 75 minutes, said
the prosecution had not proven
the case beyond a reasonable
doubt.

At Penn State the Nittany
Lions sport a robust 5-0 record
heading into Iowa City this
weekend, but that isn't to say
Joe Pa doesn't have any con-
cerns.

Golf team
continues
inconsistent play

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

The golf team traveled this
past week to compete in the
Slippery Rock/ Westminster
Golf Invitational. This tourna-
ment included PSAC rivals IUP
and Slippery Rock. On the first
day of competition at Armco
Golf Club Clarion fired a (315)
total, the team was led by
sophomore Anthoney Tacconelli
who shot (77). Other scores
included were Shawn Will (78),
Ryan Pepper (79), J.P. Kenney
(81), and Adam Botteicher (82).
This put the Clarion team in the
middle of the pack trailing
schools such as Slippery Rock,
IUP and Charleston. The sec-
ond day brought out more dis-

appointing play out of the CU
golf team. Second round action
at New Castle Country Club
produced a (325) total for the
Clarion team. Only one man
broke 80 that was J.P. Kenney
with a (79). Other scores
included Shawn Will, Ryan
Pepper with 80's and Adam
Botteicher with an (86). This
gave the Clarion golf team an
eighth place finish.

"We have not made the
progress I have expected us to
make," said first year head
coach Al Lefeevre.

Clarion has two matches
remaining. The first at
Allegheny and then the follow-

Women's
volleyball falls
to California

by Dennis Phillips

On Tuesday, September
28, the Clarion Women's
Volleyball Team was defeat-
ed by California 10-15, 2-
15, 12-15.

Despite the loss and a 6-9
record, the head coach for
Clarion is optimistic with
the future of this team.
Coach Pennewill used the
terms "brilliant" and "great-
ness" when describing his
teams performance this sea-
son. Also, Clarion has a
young team which starts
three freshman and no
seniors and this has led to
inconsistent play at times
this season. Coach

Pennewill feels that these
inconsistencies are due to a
young team and because this
is his first year as coach of
the Clarion team.

Previously at Millersville
and Drexel, Coach

Pennewill has coached 14
years at all different levels
before taking this job at
Clarion. Competing is an
important thing to

Pennewill and this is why he
decided to get back into
coaching this Previoulsy
at Millersville and Drexel,
Coach Pennewill has
coached 14 years at all dif-
ferent levels before taking
this job at Clarion.
Competing is an important
thing to Pennewill and this
is why he decided to get
back in to coaching this year
after a year off. Another
aspect of coaching he loves

is watching the young
women he coaches grow into
athletes. Pennewill said,
"the team gives lOOper cent
all the time for him" and
this is the maturity he loves
to see in his young player
after a year off. Another
aspect of coaching he loves
is watching the young
women he coaches grow into
adults. Coach Pennewill
said, "the team gives 100
percent all the time for him"
and this is the maturity he
loves to see in his young
players.

Pennewill feels the team
does there best when they
can control the action at the
net. Junior Shannon Bowen
leads the attack for the
Eagles posting 180 kills and
up front on defense
Freshman Kerry Hutchinson
leads the team in blocking
the opposition. Sophomore
setter and Captain Ali
Graham leads the Eagles in
assists and Elizabeth Stadler
and Junior Amanda fiaer
both have well rounded per
formances up front for the
Eagles.

currently are 1-3 in the

NFL Season,

Whats going
on

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

The NFL season has reached its
1/4 point in the season. This sea-
son might be the most unpre-
dictable season in some time. The
top players in the league are
injured, the top teams are not pro-
ducing, and the two-time super
bowl champions are 0-4. What is
going on?

The AFC is wide open which is
a change from the past two years
of Denver domination. The AFC
central seems to be changing.
The Jaguars and Titans are atop
the division with 3-1 records. The
Titans are surprising many people
with their backup quarterback
Neil O'Donnell who is subbing
for Steve McNair. Eddie George
continues to pound it on the
ground. For the Jaguars they have
improved there defense and there
offense continues to be tops in the
league. The Steelers seem to be
the early disappointment with a
sputtering offense and a 2-2
record.

The AFC east is controlled by
the undefeated New England
Patriots at 4-0. Drew Bledsoe is
having an MVP type season and
Head Coach Pete Carroll is start-
ing to develop as a head coach.
The surprise of the division has
been the N.Y. Jets at 1-3. This
record could be attributed to the
loss of their starting quarterback
Vinny Testaverde who is out for
the season. This might be the
year for Dan Marino and the
Miami Dolphins. Jimmy Johnson
is committed to the running game
and Marino is still throwing it
well.

The AFC west is led by the 3-1
Seattle Seahawks. TheSeahawks
are riding the genius head coach-
ing of Mike Holmgren to first
place. First year starter Jon Kitna
is establishing some stability on
the offensive front. The big story
out in the west though is the two-
time Super Bowl champion

Denver Broncos. The loss of
John Elway to retirement, started
0-4, and they just lost there MVP
runningback Terrell Davis for the
season. It promises to be a long
season for the Denver Broncos.

The NFC is being dominated by
some teams who are supposed to
be past their prime. The Pack is
back with a 2-1 record which puts
them in a first place tie with the
Lions. Brett Favre is starting to
settle into his old self by winning
games in the final seconds. The
team still to watch is the
Minnesota Vikings who are 2-2.
They still have Cunningham at
quarterback and Moss, Carter, and
Reed at recievers once their
offense settles in they will be
unstoppable like last season.

The NFC central is starting to
look like its old self. The
Cowboys are back on top with a
3-0 record. Chan Gailey and the
rest of the boys are looking
stronger each week. The
Redskins are leading the NFL in
total points scored with (150).
Brad Johnson threw for over 300
yards and 4 TD's in their most
recent victory. They look like the
91' Skins who won the Super
Bowl behind Mark Rypien.

Out in the NFC west the St.
Louis Rams have remained unde-
feated with a 3-0 record. Head
Coach Dick Vermil has guided his
team with Kurt Warner at quarter-
back. A virtual unknown Warner
with Marshall Faulk in the back-
field have scored a 100 points this
year. San Francisco remains right
on the tail of the Rams with a 3-1
record. After a devastating loss
in week 1 to the Jaguars the 49ers
have bounced back with 3 wins in
a row. The NFC champion
Atlanta Falcons are 0-4 and are
not looking good since they lost
their star runningback Jamal
Anderson for the year.

This year seems to prove that
the NFL is unpredictable and any-
one can win on any given
Sunday.

This yeais tennis team is

NFL teams go far afield to find QBs

by Don Pierson
Knij^t-Ridder Tribune

The NFL used to worry
about developing quarter-
backs. Now, scouts are look-
ing to NFL-Europe, Canada
and the Arena League and
finding out the NFL isn't the
only place where good foot-
ball is played.

St. Louis Rams' backup
Kurt Warner continues to be
the success story of the sea-
son, but he's not the only one.
Warner's three touchdown

passes against Cincinnati
made him the first quarter-
back in 50 years to throw for
three touchdown passes in
each of his first three NFL
games.

Warner played three seasons
of indoor ball for the Iowa
(Des Moines) Barnstormers of
the Arena League and also
played a season with
Amsterdam in NFL-Europe
after catching on in St. Louis.

"A lot of games in the Arena
League, as an offense, you
have to score almost every

time you get the ball. So you
build that mentality that no
one can stop you," Warner
said.

Warner couldn't even get a
look in NFL-Europe, formerly
the World League, until the
Rams assigned him during the

of 15-8, 15-2, 15-6.

Freshman Kerry Hutchinson

solo block. Other team leaders
were Ali Graham with 17 set
assists. Shannon Bowen had 3
kills, 5 digs, and one service ace.
Amanda Baer and Beth Stalder
both finished with three kills
respectively.

Coach Pennewill said, "We had
a chance to play against a cham-
pionship team. We now can com-
pare ourselves and take that back
to the practice gym and prepare
ourselves accordingly."

The ladies next game is this
Friday at 8 p.m. against Bowie

Reinhard and Fogarty speak at open forum

by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Strike misconceptions were
cleared up Monday night when
Clarion University President
Diane Reinhard and Human
Resources Associate Vice
President Tim Fogarty
answered student questions
during an open forum in the
Gemmell Student Complex.

Over 100 students attended
the event in the hopes of dis-
pelling the rumors that have
been circulating about the con-
tract negotiations. Many of
the students who asked ques-
tions were angry or upset as
Reinhard and Fogarty attempt-
ed to answer their questions.
Reinhard explained that the
negotiating teams from both
the State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) and the
Association of Pennsylvania
State College and University
Faculties (APSCUF) went to
the table this past Wednesday,
Friday, and Saturday to con-
tinue talks. Some progress
was made as a result of these
talks and APSCUF promised
that there would be no strike
scheduled before October 21.
The negotiating team will

meet this Thursday to try and
resolve the conflict. "Both
sides are eager to avoid a
strike," Reinhard said.

Many students want to know
why binding arbitration was
not accepted by the State
System. Reinhard responded
that the Board of Governors is
responsible for making the
decisions in the State System
and they feel that if an arbitra-
tor is called in, they will lose
their responsibilities.

The administration also had
many responses about what
would happen if a strike
occurred. Despite popular
belief, according to Reinhard
and Fogarty the residence
halls, the dining staff, and the
library will all continue oper-
ating if a strike should exist.
Also, the State System will not
bring in other professors, how-
ever, students are expected to
attend classes throughout the
duration of the strike in case
some professors decide to
cross the picket line.
Furthermore, students who
have work study positions
with the university should still
report during their normal
hours. If their job is depen-
dent upon a faculty member to

tell them what to work on,
they should report to the sec-
retary of the department and
work will be given to them.
Also, if a strike is called,
APSCUF will give students a
48 hour notice. It is not yet
known how notification will
be made.

If a strike does occur, stu-
dents may keep track of the
progress by clicking on the
university web site or by call-
ing a hotline for more infor-
mation. The web site and the
phone line will be set up to
provide information about
what is happening with the
strike and about when an end
is expected.

Reinhard and Fogarty also
spoke about a strike plan that
has been created by the State
System and the university. An
over all strike plan for the
State System was developed
by the Chancellor's office and
each of the 14 universities cre-
ated one individually tailored
for that school. One of the
main things the strike plan
deals with is how on-campus
services will be assured to
continue. While most of the
students in attendance were
curious as to what the docu-

ment contained, Reinhard and
Fogarty insisted it is confiden-
tial. "We have been advised
by university legal council
that it is not for public con-
sumption," Fogarty said.

If a strike does occur, this
will be the first one in the his-
tory of the State System. For

more information about the
strike and the progress of
negotiations, check out the
SSHE web site at
www.sshechan.edu. the

APSCUF web site at

Depression screening week prompts awareness

College is supposed to be one of
the best times of one's life. But
for many, it can be a time of seri-

Depression affects 17 million

Americans and the illness does

may cause or worsen symptoms
of depression.

One form of depression, in par-

place during the winter months
when days become shorter. The
loss of sunlight can lead to a
buildup of brain chemicals, caus-

Students' voices need to be
heard

The labor dispute between the State System of Higher
Education and APSCUF has been continuing for
nearly four months and students are still left wondering
if there will be a strike.

As students we are paying a large sum of money to
attend the university and we don't deserve to be
dragged along. With all the information streaming out
of the two offices it is extremely hard to understand
what is going on in the negotiations.

The semester has begun and students haven't been
able to focus on their school work with the threat of a
strike in the air. Most of the students have been
informed through the forum meetings held by Dr.
Reinhard and Sue Traynor, head of APSCUF-Clarion.
The students understand the issues, but a quick
settlement needs to be reached.

The threat of strike has caused students to worry if
they will graduate on time, if they will receive credits
and what will happen to their classes if a strike were to
occur.

Students voices need to be hear. Let the
administration know how you feel. Students want this
threat to end. It's time that the University knows how
the students feel.

Crisis in East Timor

Dear Editor:

The United States is portrayed in the media as mere-
ly an innocent bystander in the recent elections in East
Timor, in which close to eighty percent of the people
voted for independence from Indonesia. This portray-
al is not accurate.

President Ford and Secretary of Slate, Henry
Kissinger, were in Jakarta the day before the
Indonesian invasion of East Timor, December 7, 1975,
and gave the green light for the invasion. U.S. ambas-
sador to the United Nations, Daniel Patrick Moynihan,
blocked implementation of all UN resolutions against
the invasion. U.S. military aid and training of
Indonesian soldiers increased following the invasion.
The fighter jets and helicopter gunships, which
bombed strafed East Timorese fleeing to the moun-
tains, came from the United States. The United States
has trained the Indonesian special forces, the Kopassus,
in counterinsurgency techniques.

At the height of the atrocities in 1978, when an esti-
mated 200,000 East Timorese had been killed out of a
total population of 600,000, coverage of this genocide

in the U.S. media dropped to zero. This fact is from a
study by noted MIT professor and political activist,
Noam Chomsky. Now, over twenty years later, when
Indonesian death squads are again rampaging through
East Timor, another media whitewash of the U.S. role
is in progress.

If UN human rights chief, Mary Robinson, wants to
be impartial in conducting an investigation of war
crimes in East Timor, then past and present members of
the U.S. government and the ruling class of the United
States, who benefit from the natural resources and
cheap labor of Indonesia and East Timor, must be con-
sidered as instigators and propagators of this terrible
tragedy. They didn't want a leftist government in either
Indonesia or East Timor and therefore caused two of
the greatest slaughters of the 20th century.

Gary Sudborough

"We have not wanted

this and have done every

reasonable thing we can

to avoid this."

Dr. Ralph Leary

An open letter and apology to the students of Clarion University

As you all know, the professors
at Clarion along with other SSHE
professors in Pennsylvania have
taken a vote to authorize a strike.
Negotiations continue, but while
the date of a possible strike seems
to be pushed back, it still remains
a very real possibility. Although
I can only speak for myself, I
believe that most faculty share the
sentiments expressed here. We
are very sorry. We have not want-
ed this and have done every rea-
sonable thing we can to avoid
this. However, we have been left
with no choice.

We are saddened by this course
of events in large part because we
know that you will suffer from the
inability of SSHE and the union to
reach a contract. Indeed, I suspect
the sense of uncertainty with the
negotiations has already had an

affect on how you have
approached your work this semes-
ter. The effect this has had and
will have on you, the students, has
made this a difficult choice for all
of us. To us, you are not just a
number and a tuition-paying enti-
ty. You are in our classes. We
recognize you. We know your
names. We have talked with you
in our offices. We have heard you
tell us about your goals and
dreams, and we have dedicated
ourselves to helping you achieve
them. And we are very sorry that
you have to suffer because of this
labor dispute.

So why would we agree to
strike? I'll summarize some of
the issues, but as a teacher, I
encourage you to research it your-
self. The APSCUF web site

Editorial

"You could say that
apple butter brings
my family together

once a year.

Angela Everly, News Editor

.»

What is family? Webster
defines it as 1. Parents and their
children 2. The members of one
household. 3. A group of per-
sons related by blood or mar-
riage. 4. A group of like things;
class 5. The category ranking

below an order and so on.

For my purpose we are just
going to stick with the first three.
A parent and a child, this defini-
tion doesn't quite meet my
expectations or approval. If I
didn't have such a great mom, it
would suffice; but my relation-
ship is more than just parent and
child. Sometimes it is banker-
child (we all know that one),
friend-child, auditor-child,
teacher-child, and let's not forget
councilor-child.

The second definition talks
about the members of one house-
hold. Unless I am mistaken I
have people who are family that
no longer live in the same house-
hold. My sister and my brother
for example. We are still related
but we are not living all together.
I remember the days when we
members sharing one household
and looking back I wonder how
did we not kill each other? It's

funny how time changes our
prospective on things.

Websters third definition just
plain drives me to distraction
because some of my family mem-
bers have ended up not even
being related. Blood type, DNA,
and last name sure don't make all
people feel and believe in family
bonds. I look at my best friend,
Angie, and I laugh at how we
have name each other sisters. We
don't share anything the same but
our undying friendship for each
other.

The whole reason for this edito-
rial about family was prompted
by a Family Day. My family held
a Family Day on Sunday that was
a day long picnic type endeavor.
I am sure that you are all just
dying to know why my family
deems it necessary to have a
Family Day once a year in
October.

Apple Butter.

Yes apple butter. For those of
you who don't know and actually
do care, apple butter is a jelly/jam
type substance. You can put it on
just about anything and eat it.

You could say that apple butter

OPINION

Parking problems
persist

Dear Editor,

On the evening of October 1, 1999 1 arrived in Clarion
around 10:00 pm. to visit my friend during homecoming
weekend. He Eves on the first block on South Street when
turning left off of Greenville Avenue. 1 proceeded to park
my car on the street in limit of Ins apartment building, and
I specifically remember checking to see if there were any
signs telling me that I was not allowed to park there. I
remember checking because this was my first time at his
new apartment, and I wanted to make sure that I was able
to leave my car there without getting a ticket Ialsoremem-
ber seeing many other cars parked along the same street, so
I figured that I didn't have anything to worry about

When I woke up around 11:00 am on the morning of
October 2, 1999, 1 looked out of the window saw that my
car and all the other ones that were parked along the street
were gone. I walked outside to see what happened ami I
saw a sign on every tree that said, "NO PARKING SAT-
URDAY BETWEEN 6:00 AM. AMD 3:00 RM. VIOLA-
TORS WHLBETOWED." There were also "NO PARK-
ED" paper bags over eveiyparkmg meter. None of these
signs existed the previous night I know this for a fact
because there were so many of them in the morning that it
would have been impossible for me to have just overlooked
them.

I walked to the pobce station, and they told me that I had
to pay 55 dollars for a towing fee and ten dollars fa the
parking tine, lhave never reckrved a parking ticket of any
kind in my life because I am cautious about where I leave
my car ItoaltoexplaiiitouxladyattherK)licestatkitithat
the signs were not there at lOflO pm. Irkiay night, but she
said that notices were sent to all the residents in the various
buildings. She said that my friend should have told me not
to park there. 1 ended up paying the 65 dollars to get my air
back before I left the police station

I do not believe that notices were sent to everybody

We, the undersigned Board of Student Government Presidents, are
urging bring this disagreement on the faculty contract, between The
State System of Higher Education and the Association of
Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties, to a quick and
fair resolution. We believe that the interruption of education is

Gov*tnnwttt Fr««ident« unfair to the Students, Parents, and Members of the Communities in

which our Universities resid. We support a resolution that will be

fair to both sides, and will continue to provide a quality education. We ask this on behalf of the 14 State

System Universities and the 97,000 students we represent.

Signed

Ms. Amanda Gudnecht, Bloomsburg; Mr. Genardo Mcllwain, Cheyney;Mr. Nathan Finkel, East

Stroudsburg; Mr. David D. Best,

because many other cars were parked along the same street
as mine. My friend said that he had never recieved a notice;
however, this is insignificant because this is not the correct
manner in which to notify people of special narking regu-
lations. The "NO PARKING" signs should have been
placed on the street at least 2 days before they went into
effect Posting these signs in the middle of the night or
early in the morning while everybody is sleeping and hav-
ing these regulations go into effect at 6:00 a jn. is obvious-
ly not right

From my point of view this appears to have been a
money-making scheme, but I do not and will not know this
for sure. I have no way of knowing if these same ridiculous
tactics were not applied on the other streets in Clarion or if
it was just a local problem to the one end of South Street
however, one thing that the lady at the police station men-
tioned did raise some suspicion. As I was walking into the
building, I noticed that other cars that had been towed were
in the tot outside of the station, but I did not see my car. I
asked the lady where mine was located and she told me
that this parking lot became full, so they had to start using
another parking tot When I picked up my car, I ncticed that
this second tot was also fairly full. I find extremely hard to
believe that enough people to fill two paridng tots with
towed cars in a town as small as Clarion would have just
ignored the "NO PARKING" signs.

I expect to be promptly reimbursed the entire 65 dollars
that I was forced to pay, and I am also asking that this situ-
ation be looked into further.

yourself. The APSCUF web site ( www.apscuf.com ) will give you
details of both sides' proposed contracts. The money issue, involving
steps and salary, may seem a bit confusing. What it means to us is
that with what the SSHE proposes a new faculty member will take
much longer to get to the top salary. In fact, it may be impossible for
many faculty to ever get there. Young faculty, many of them women
and minorities, will be most affected by this. It may also mean that
young teachers we try to recruit to come here may decide not to come
here at all. They will take other jobs with a better starting pay and
faster promotion. This will affect our ability to bring to you quality
teachers and a quality education.

Health benefits and temporary teachers are two more issues. The
SSHE wants to provide the same money for health coverage that they
provided in 1992. You know that medical costs are not the same as
they were then. The SSHE knows it too. They increased contribu-
tions to administrators by nearly 12 percent, while not increasing ours
at all.

They also want to give colleges the opportunity to hire more tempo-
rary faculty. More than one third of all faculty could be temporary.
That means that there is a good chance that the teacher you have as a
Freshman or a Sophomore won't be there when you are a Junior or a
Senior. They won't be there to write you a letter of recommendation.
We don't think you want a revolving door faculty in your major fields
or in the university itself.

The SSHE also wants to take control over our intellectual property.
They want us to agree to pay them part of any money we might make
by writing books, creating art or music, creating computer software,
etc. After they deduct "expenses incurred," they could take up to 50
percent of any profits, 75 percent of profits if we don't tell them ahead
of time what we want to work on. Imagine you created a painting in
an art class that you sold or that you devised computer software in a
class that you then sold. Would you then want to be forced to pay up
to 50 percent of the profits to your teacher? We would never ask you
to do this. But that is what the SSHE system is asking us to agree to.

We simply can't agree to these demands. And so we may be going
on strike. We are trying to avoid this. We are hoping that negotiations
can lead to a fair settlement. We have told the SSHE mat we would
continue working if they would agree to binding arbitration. With
binding arbitration, both sides would put their plans on the table and
let an arbitrator pick the more reasonable one. We are willing to risk
this, because we know our proposal is reasonable. Binding arbitration
would guarantee you uninterrupted schooling for the next three years.
We want to be in the classroom. The SSHE has refused binding arbi-
tration.

While we would like you to support us in this action, we won't ask
you to pick sides. All we ask you to do is this: E-mail your legislator
and the Chancellor and tell them 1) that you want them to agree to
binding arbitration an 2) that you don't want them spending thousands
of dollars, so far over $150,000 dollars that is noi going toward your
education, on misleading advertisements attacking the university pro-
fessors. We think your voice may have a great deal of influence. We
simply ask you to use it.

Thank for reading this. Again, we are sorry that this is something
you have to worry about. We are hoping we get to keep seeing you in
class.

It amazes me how this stuff in ajar (that I don't even eat) can bring

speaks

Dear Editor,

On numerous occasions I have been impressed with the understand-
ing, maturity and levelheadedness demonstrated by our student body.
Student reaction to the tragic event of September 27th was one of those
occasions. College students are often criticized for their behavior, but
the general positive conduct of Clarion students in dealing with cam-
pus difficulties, problems and incidents deserves to be recognized. It is
a pleasure to work with students of this quality.

Motion approved to revise catalouge

Students who have accumulated 12 or more credits

(not including the credits you are taking in the present

semester-Fall 1999) must submit a CHANGE OF STATUS

FORM to the School of Nursing at Venango Campus by

December 15, 1999 in order to be considered for

nursing classes beginning in Fall 2000.

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

A motion was approved to have
the Committee on Courses and
Programs of Study (CCPS) to
investigate a catalogue cold stor-
age at Monday's Faculty Senate
meeting.

The investigation was prompted
by the need to revise the current
Clarion University catalogue.

Cold storage would remove
courses that have not been taught
in the last three years from the cat-
alogue. This would make it less
deceiving to incoming freshman
and transfer students.

This also raises questions about
continuing to publish the cata-
logue every two years or fix any
misrepresentation and produce it
every year.

Visual appeal, index problems,
placement of subjects, and course
descriptions are the main points of

interest that CCPS will begin to
address.

Slippery Rock and California
Universities are considered to
have some of the more competi-
tive university catalogues.

In old business, a motion was
approved to accept a new academ-
ic summer 2002 calendar. The
summer sessions will be session

summer one June 3-July; session
two: summer two July 8-August

classes of the fall semester on

into the possibility of eliminating SAT
scores for college entrance.

Community outreach program continues this year

by Maria Massie
Clarion Call Staff Writer §

For the sixth consecutive year,
the Minority Student Services
Community Outreach Program has
been going strong.

On Saturday, October 9, a group
of 13 students went to Pittsburgh
for the second outreach of the
semester.

The students work through
Christian Life Skills Inc. of

Pittsburgh, led by executive direc-
tor, Barbara Roger, in conjunction
with the Church of God in
Homewood (Pittsburgh).

The goal of Christian Life Skills
(CLS) is to allow young people to
assess the needs of a community
and how to help them.

CLS does accomplish this goal
through its Young Adult
Leadership Training program
(YALT) and Life Skills-In-Action
(LSIA).

The community service projects

include construction, billboards,
community development (cleanup
and gardening), and mentoring
struggling youth.

Danielle Poole, a sophomore, was
one of the 13 students who partici-
pated in the outreach.

She had the chance to speak with
a five year old and then eventually
the teenagers.

Poole said, "I believe it is a great
program. It helped me to realize
bigger are the problems of others
compared to my own."

It also amazed her how respon-
sive the teenagers became when
they were addressed on an adult
level and not looked down upon.

She believes it was a chance for

models for them.

Laugand said, "This is a program
I believe in and that is why I par-
ticipate in it. Many students here
at Clarion University also find it
worthwhile enough to want to do it
on a regular basis."

In April, Laugand and Clarion

Of course, expenses are only one

that can make a difference in the

The close of FoodStock '99 sets record

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor

FoodStock '99 came to a rapid
close as more than 38,000 food
donations were collected for 12
local food pantries throughout the
Clarion area.

Clarion will also be entered into
the record books for a community
that collected the most donations
in a 24-hour period.

Although there was no actual
record to beat, Clarion set the
standard for the future, and in
some ways, created a new catego-
ry-
Guinness officials have
explained that food could be col-
lected prior to the actual 24-hour
schedule, but all must be brought
to the central location and docu-
mented during the actual attempt.
According to Brianne Frisk,
AmeriCorps member and Student
Coordinator for the Community
Service-Learning Office, the

record was set because of certain
guidelines that had to be followed
and was completed by the com-
mittees.

These standards had to be in
compliance with the Guinness
Book of World Records.

Donations were accepted for
unexpired non-perishable food
items such as tuna, cake mix,
pasta, canned vegetables, soups,
and cereal.

Toiletries and non-perishables
could be included, but would not
count towards the goal.

Frisk was responsible for setting
up the scavenger hunt in the com-
munity.

Twenty-five student organiza-
tions participated in seeking out
community donations in the resi-
dential areas.

"There was excellent participa-
tion. No groups dropped out no
matter how busy they were with
Autumn Leaf Festival (ALF)
preparations," Frisk said.

"Everyone came through and

worked throughout the night at the
collection site. There was a 100
percent participation," she said.

She helped to set up fifteen
drum sites on the campus for
employees to donate.

Frisk was also responsible for
getting groups to monitor the
booth during the twenty-four hour
period.

The Community Service-
Learning Office always hosts food
drives throughout the year with
various organizations.

However, because of the abun-
dance of food that was collected,
local food pantries will be unable
to accept any further donations for
the remainder of the year.

Clarion University employees
collected just over 400 donations.

The University, as a whole, col-
lected a total of 2,540 items
through the collections.

Students and faculty worked 126
hours at the collection site as well.

The idea to have FoodStock was
originally thought up by the

Clarion County Chamber of
Business and Industry and gained
widespread support from area
businesses.

The University wanted to get
active and decided to co-sponsor
the event.

"I was so happy that students
took time out of their schedules
to help with this event," Frisk
said.

Other organizations involved
were the Clarion County schools,
Clarion County Business, Clarion
County Service Organizations,
Clarion Churches and
Ministeriums, Clarion County
Non-Profit Organizations, and all
residents of Clarion County.

All volunteers were invited to
the Wolf's Camping Resort for an
evening of entertainment to thank
everyone who helped participate,
and make the event a success.

It is not yet determined if this
will be a yearly event or one held
during ALF.

American writer Pearl Buck honored

by Tract Fredley
Clarion Call Staff Writer ,

Dr. William Buchanan, Associate
Professor of Library Science at
Clarion University, presented a pro-
gram, "An Appreciation of Pearl
Buck's China," at the October meet-
ing of the Oil City chapter of the
American Association of University
Women.

The program was held on
Saturday, October 2, at noon at
Crosscreek Resort

Buchanan's presentation provided
an overview of Buck's life and
achievements, focusing on The
Good Earth and suggesting reasons
for her continuing relevance for
American literature and the
American understanding of modem
China.

Buck was a prolific author of nov-
els, memoirs, children's stories,
biographies, and other forms of lit-
erature, and a Bucks County native.

Buck was bom in Hillsboro, West
Virginia, and was the child of ardent
Presbyterian missionaries, Absalom
and Carie Sydenstriker, who were
home on leave.

Before her first birthday, the fam-
ily returned to imperial China where
she grew up, survived the turbulent
years of Chinese political upheavals
and wars, including the Boxer rebel-
lion.

Buck was reared by a Chinese
nurse from whom she learned to
speak Chinese before learning to
speak English from her parents, It
was a language and an oudook that
never left her for the 80+ years of
her life.

Though she returned to the US to
attend Randolph Macon College in
Virginia, she felt compelled to
return to China upon graduation
because of her mother's failing
health. And in order to obtain cre-
dentials to travel in China, she too
became a missionary.

It was while working as a mis-
sionary mat she met Lossing Buck,
an agronomist, who in his own way,
was as fervent about his work and
his relationship with China as was

Absalom and Carie. "With the reopening of diplomatic

Buck is often discounted as an
authentic Asian voice by today's
politically correct literati because of
her European ancestry.

Buchanan said, "This dismissal is
unfortunate, and I am happy to
report mat there are signs of its
changing."

Buchanan joined the Clarion fac-
ulty in 1993. His primary responsi-
bilities are teaching in the depart-
ment of library science's American
Library Association-accredited
graduate program in librarianship.

her energies to writing, publishing
several stories and essays in
American journals such as The
Nation.

"For many years, Buck was one of
the few windows that Americans
had into modern Chinese culture,"
said Buchnan.

Buchanan said, "She spent her
childhood in China, founded
humanitarian organizations for the
relief of Chinese suffering that are
still in operation, and spent most of
her adult life writing about China in
works of bom fiction and nonfic-
tion."

"Pearl Buck is on my recom-

The Tunktechnodisco Revolution'

October 14, 1999

The Clarion Call

Page 13

by Keith B. Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

From the opening new wave-ish
'whaa-whaa' synthesizer refrain
in "Making People Normal' to the
sensuous and sliding near-hip hop
groove of "Detour," Scottish pop
group Bis' new record, Social
Dancing, is a wild and eclectic
grab-bag of sonic surprises. Bis
travels through their looking
glass, providing some of the most
cerebral, yet confectionery pop
music in years. As the ads for it
proclaim, 'the punktechnodisco
revolution.' And it's only their
second album.

While the title Social Dancing

may suggest - — — ~

the awkward-
ness of the
junior high
dances we've
all been

subjected to,
Bis isn't one to
sit in the corner
and iust drink
punch. They
exude nothing
but supreme
confidence
throughout the
record. The three barely twenty-
somethings seemingly have an
iron-clad grasp on every popular
music genre to emerge within the
past two decades. Encapsulating
everything from ostentatious
European disco to hyper-kinetic
punk beats to cloying 80s romps.
Bis rips through pop's back pages
with blustering abandon.

If you've never heard of Bis,
then they can easily be described
to the neophyte: they are the
composers and performers of the
'PowerPuff Girls' cartoon theme
song. That's about as neatly as
they can be summed up. Bis is
what Japanese animea characters
would listen to while on a sugar-
high. But the music speaks for

itself.

Hopefully, the fact that they are
signed to the Beastie Boy's label
(Grand Royal) will ensure them a
sizable audience outside of the
college music scene in America
(they're chart-toppers in the U.K.,
and have been for years).
Elastica, which plays a similar,
slightly more guitar-oriented
style, may have been able to land
a hit single here, but Bis is much
too quirky, I think. Something
makes me think that the States
aren't quite ready for Bis. The
majority of America is still too
busy rubbing underage genies in
bottles to take their heads out of
the sand, which is a shame.

Starting
with the
p u n k y
"Making
P e o p 1 e
Normal", Bis
revs it up
into high
I gear imme-
diately. An
attack (or
| perhaps an
^ftrfjl embrace) of
lliBBfcjBI our infatua-
tion with
trash talk shows ("Thanks Ricki,
thank you Jenny; you made me
normal today"), "Making" will
have you stomping around the
room in no time. But a scant 2 1/2
minutes later, they've launched
into the even more frantic "I'm A
Slut," in which singer Manda Rin
ups the sexual ante with lines like
"Tell me when I talk I am a flirt;
don't reallv think my T-shirt's too
tight."

But both of those songs, as
impossibly brilliant as they are,
pale in comparison next to the
head-swirling slice of sonic
perfection that "Eurodisco" is.
With perhaps the best bass groove
I've heard since Madonna's

World - known

abstact painter

Charles Olson will

have an exhibit here

at Clarion. For
details, see Page 14.

"Vogue," "Eurodisco" is an
instant club rave-up; one of the
the most danceable songs in years.
With the brimming energy of
songs like Blondie's "Call Me"
and a throbbing techno groove,
you can't lose. I'm sure Abba is
kicking themselves in the butt for
not writing this one. Guitarist
John Disco sings, "The party's at
its end..." but it's only just
beginning.

The song that truly shows where
Bis is coming from though is
"Action And Drama." John
bemoans the fact that today's pop
music world is without
personality, while Manda shouts
out the refrain "Give me eighties
Madonna; give me Bananarama"
in her best Cyndi Lauper
imitation.

Of course, the album's praises
just continue from there. "Theme
From Tokyo" juxtaposes
sophisticated string arrangements
with defiant punk sing-along
choruses. 'The Hit Girl" moves
so fast your ear canal won't be
able to keep up, and "Am I Loud
Enough?" sports a breakbeat so
good Fatboy Slim will be jealous.
"I have to praise you" indeed.

"Shopaholic," which is about
exactly what it says it is, sports
the kind of offhand whimsy that is
ail-too absent (or poorly done) in
today's rock world. "Young Alien
Types" is, in Bis' own words, the
"perfect clash of the melodious
and hardcore."

But up next is the second high-
light of the album, the seductive
and ultra-hip "Detour."
Beginning with a guitar riff that's
straight out of a James Bond
theme song, guest singer Lois
Maffeo invites you into the jazzy
proceedings by asking "Do you
wanna go my way?" Oh hell yes.
It's an incredibly sultry tale of
love on the run; and won't be
forgotten soon.

The remaining songs on the
album, which include the dark
"Sale Or Return," and the jumpy
closer "Listen Up" are all just as
wonderful as the rest of the
album, rounding it out quite
nicely. Throughout Social
Dancing, Bis proves that even the
most commercial-sounding music
can be intelligent. Deep within
that Tootsie Roll exterior, there's a

brain. On my 5-star rating scale,
Bis' Social Dancing gets an
enthusiastic 5. As the liner notes
say, "The pop group Bis stay
ahead of the field and provide
evidence that a little persistence
and a lot of belief actually get you
somewhere, not so much growing
up as just GROWING." Never
loose sight of that inner child, you
guys.

'Beauty' is in the eye of the beholder

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Completely engrossing from start
to finish and replete with fine perfor-
mances from an incredible ensemble
cast, 'American Beauty' is easily the
best film I've seen so far this year.
But the most remarkable thing about
'Beauty' is that it's nearly impossible
to categorize. 'Beauty' is simultane-
ously a dark comedy, a family drama,
a chronicle of several doomed
romances, and an exploration of the
fragile human psyche. All those
pieces merge together flawlessly to
create a seamless and truly remark-
able film.

Lester Bumham (Kevin Spacey in
an Oscar-worthy performance) is the
patriarch of an emotionally dead fam-
ily. Lester toils away at an advertis-
ing job, while his career-obsessed
wife Carolyn (Annette Bening) puts
on a happy face and denies that she
hates her life. The only existing link
between Lester and Carolyn is their
daughter Jane (Thora Birch), who
realizes the unhappiness that exists
within her family but is unwilling and
unable to do anything about it
Lester's salvation comes in the form
of Jane's friend and fellow cheer-
leader Angela (Mena Suvari), whose
beauty reignites Lester's passion for

life. Soon, Lester's newfound happi-
ness begins to disrupt the tightly-
wound world that he and his wife
have created for themselves, alienat-
ing the family members even further
from one another. Carolyn finds pas-
sion in the arms of real estate mogul
Buddy King (Peter Gallagher) while
Jane finds herself drawn to the new
kid next door, Ricky Fitts (Wes
Bently), a sullen pot dealer who takes
joy in videotaping everything in life
he finds beautiful.. Jane included.

With 'Beauty,' writer Alan Ball and
director Sam Mendes have created
one of the most moving American
films in recent memory. What other

film could create equal parts laughter
and sympathy for a scene in which its
lead character gratifies himself in the
shower, telling the audience that
they're witnessing the highlight of his
day? The same goes for another
scene late in the film, when Jane lit-
erally begs Angela not to sleep with
Lester.
At its core, 'Beauty' is about tearing
away the illusions that cloud our
everyday lives, unmasking the mon-
sters we seek to hide from our loved
ones and even ourselves. Lester
Burnham may have accepted his
tragic fate, but he doesn't allow his
impending doom to prevent him

from finding the happiness he's long
denied himself.

Lester's polar opposite, Ricky Fitts,
may be an unnerving, monotone
creep, but he's the only character in
'Beauty' whose passion for life is nei-
ther embellished nor faded by the
strange circumstances that befall
him. In other words, he's the most
"alive" character in the film, regard-
less of his numerous character flaws.
Ricky's a perfect match for Jane, the
only cheerleader on the squad who
keeps a blank look on her face during
a half-time routine when all the other
girls are wearing fake, plastic grins.

In the violent finale, Spacey's
prophecy of self destruction is finally
realized and the film's many lies are
revealed as such. However, there's
little sadness over the film's
inevitable ending. The audience has
had the rare opportunity to witness
the re-birth, life, and death of a mod-
em tragic hero. At the end, Lester's
life has reinforced Angela's statement
that being ordinary is perhaps the
worst thing that could ever happen to
a person. Review: 4 stars.

NEWS ANNOUNCER:
Good evening. Our top story
tonight is Tropical Depression
Vinny, which is shaping up to
be the most deadly potential
natural disaster ever to strike
this nation since last week
when Tropical Depression
Ursula came within just 1, 745
miles of American soil before
veering off and inflicting an
estimated $143 worth of dam-
age on the Azores. For more
on Vinny, let's go straight to
the I earPlex WeatherCenter,
wherr meteorologist Dirk
Doppler, in anticipation of a
long light of escalating ten-
sion, has already applied 75
cubk eet of Rave Extra Hold
hair spray.

Ml TEOROLOGIST: Thank
you, ill. As we can see from
this itellite photograph taken
from space, right now Vinny is
located at a latitude of 36.8
degr s centigrade and is pro-
jects; to follow a path that,
ace; ling to our computer
moc< , could potentially take
it d ctly to any of the 13
ori£ al colonies as well as
Flo: a, Kentucky, Oklahoma,
Cai: a and Western Europe.
We e urging everybody with-
in i potentially affected area

to become extremely nervous,
because this thing potentially
has the potential to become a
Category Seven storm, which
means a storm capable of
yanking the udder right off a
standing cow.

ANNOUNCER: What is
your best guess at this point,
Dirk?

METEO-
ROLOGIST:
Without cre-
ating undue
alarm, Bill, I
would say
there is no
hope for
human sur-
vival on this
planet.

ANNOUNC-
ER: Thank
you, Dirk.

We go now to reporter Crystal
Baroque, who has been stand-
ing by at the Homeowner Hell
megastore. Crystal?

REPORTER: Bill, as usual
with storms of this potential,
there are long lines of people
waiting to buy plywood. Sir,
how long have you been here?
CUSTOMER: I've been
waiting 17 hours, but it's
worth it, to get plywood.
Whenever there's a storm, 1
hear these voices telling me,

"Irving! Go get plywood!"
And I don't even have a home!
I just have a big pile of ply-
wood.
REPORTER: I see.
CUSTOMER: Also, my
name isn't "Irving."

REPORTER: Back to you,
Bill.

ANNOUNCER: In another
important
tradition, the
supermarkets
are jammed
with pan-
icked con-
sumers buy-
ing bottled
water, as you
see in this
videotape
that we have
shown during
every poten-
tial storm
since 1973. Now let's get back
to the FearPlex WeatherCenter
for an update from meteorolo-
gist Dirk Doppler.

METEOROLOGIST: Bill, as
you can see from this satellite
photograph, Tropical

Depression Vinny has not
moved at all, which means we
are now expanding the poten-
tial disaster area to include
mainland China. The satellite
is also reporting the entire
planet Earth is surrounded by a

cold, airless void extending for
trillions of miles in all direc-
tions. It looks very bad, Bill.

ANNOUNCER: We now go
to the National Hurricane
Center, where we'll be speak-
ing with the director, Harmon
Wankel, who has been sitting
in the same chair for 68
straight hours without food or
sleep, staring into bright lights
while being relentlessly inter-
viewed by TV news people
about this potential storm.
Harmon, what's the latest
word?

HURRICANE CENTER
DIRECTOR: I hope you all
die.

ANNOUNCER: Thank you.
Now we're going to go to the
White House, where we under-
stand President Clinton is
about to make an emergency
statement.

THE PRESIDENT: As you
can tell by my big sad moony
face, my heart goes out to all
of those who have the poten-
tial of being devastated by this
potentially devastating storm.
I have ordered the mandatory
evacuation of North and South
America, to be enforced by
strafing, and I have personally
instructed Vice President Gore
to get into a helicopter and fly
around until everybody in his
entourage is airsick. I am also

hereby offering clemency to
every convicted felon in New
York State. Let us all bite our
lips and pray that this terribly
potential disaster proceeds
directly to the home of
Kenneth Starr.

ANNOUNCER: Let's go
back to the FearPlex
WeatherCenter, where Dirk
Doppler has an Urgent News
Bulletin on Tropical
Depression Vinny.

METEOROLOGIST: Bill,
according to our latest satellite
images, Vinny is GONE! It
was right here, and now, pffft,
there's no sign of it.!

ANNOUNCER: Does this
mean we can stop panicking?

METEOROLOGIST: Of
course not. Vinny could be
ANYWHERE. It could be IN
YOUR HOUSE. Everybody
should get under the bed
NOW. Also we need to start
worrying about potentially
lethal Tropical Breeze Xera,
which is forming over here.
See it?
ANNOUNCER: No.
METEOROLOGIST: YES
YOU DO! IT'S RIGHT

THERE! YOU'VE GOT TO

BELIEVE ME!
ANNOUNCER: We go now

to Dan Rather, courageously

standing on a beach, wearing a

slicker.

Story courtesy of
University Relations

Painter Charles Olson will
exhibit his work at Clarion
University's Sanford Gallery,
Marwick-Boyd Fine Arts Center,
October 18 through November 12.
An artist lecture is scheduled on
Wednesday, October 20 at 7 p.m.
in room 120 of Marwick-Boyd.
An opening reception will follow
in the gallery. The reception and

exhibit are free and open to the
public. Gallery hours are
Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 9
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Wednesday
and Thursday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Olson's works are described as,
"dynamically engaged in portray-
ing what he derives from life's
colors and shapes." While his
work borders on almost indistinct,
his art has become more definitive
in recent years. Olson has said
he finds his subjects, "in the

Captain Loomis Inn

- Monday night - Football with Wings
- Tuesdays - Tacos

- Wednesday - Pony Night

- Weekend - Fun / Dancing

museum, on the archaeological
dig, in the attic, or flea market."
Olson is labeled an abstract artist,
but his work delves into the appre-
ciation for the real. Viewers
should be able to recognize
objects' forms. It was not until
1984 that the late John Caldwell,
curator of contemporary art at The
Carnegie Museum of Art,
Oakland, asked him to present his
work at a tiny show. Since then,
Olson's fame has skyrocketed and
his work is known world wide.

Olson received his bachelor's
degree in art and his master's
degree in painting from Indiana
University of Pennsylvania. He
has taught art at St. Francis
College, Loretto, since 1976.

Upcoming exhibits during the
fall semester are: R. Mark
Sunderwirth, November 17-22,
and senior art exhibits, November
29 through December 17.

gles drop 11-point lead; fall 29-30

by John C. Crawford
# .Clarion CalJ Staff Writer

The Clarion Golden Eagles
football team traveled to
Edinboro last Saturday, where
they fell by one point with a lit-
tle over a minute to play.
Edinboro claimed the hard-
fought 30-29 win, in a game
which neither was quite able to
command. "We had them in the
grave twice," noted coach
Malen Luke.

Edinboro's first drive stalled
at midfield. But, Clarion QB
Adam Almashy, a freshman,
was picked off on the team's
first play from scrimmage.
Edinboro took over at the
Clarion seven.

Edinboro QB Jack Davis ( 7
att, 20 yards, 1 TD), ran it in to
put Edinboro on the board with
9:00 left in the first quarter. K
Sean McNicholas failed to con-
vert the extra point.

Almashy (11/28 180 yards, 3
TD, 2 INT) came back on the
field, and directed Clarion on a
six play, 81 yard drive.
Following a 15 yard pass to
Justin Sickeri, Almashy con-
nected with TE Andy Pore for a
49-yard TD.

Both teams went three-and-

out on their next drive.
Edinboro closed out the first
quarter with part of a 7 play, 71-
yard drive. Edinboro capped
the drive with a touchdown to
open the second. A two point
try failed.

Clarion's next possession
ended with an Almashy pass
intercepted at midfield.
Edinboro turned the pick into
three. Clarion trailed 7-15.

Clarion returned the favor,
when SS Roosevelt Benjamin
intercepted Edinboro quarter-
back Jack Davis. Later, forced
into a punting situation, Clarion
opted to deception. Upback
Ryan Presutti ran the ball 28
yards to the Edinboro 36. Three
plays later Almashy ( 15 att. 21
yards, 1 TD) ran it in from 22
yards out. Down 13-15, Clarion
went for two, but failed.

On Edinboro's next posses-
sion, clarion LB Mike Maguire
claimed the first of two sacks
on the day. Edinboro went
three-and-out.

Clarion took over with 2:25
left in the half. Almashy direct-
ed the two point offense down
the field, making 89 yards in
just over two minutes and 12
plays. The key play came on
fourth and seven from the

Edinboro 38. Almashy hit
Sickeri for a 31 yard pass, set-
ting up a seven yard run to RB
Glenn Allen. Another Clarion
two-point try failed following
the touchdown.

Clarion went into the locker
room with a 19-15 lead. The
Eagles racked up 272 yards of
offense, and held Edinboro to
156.

Opening the second half, CUP
appeared to be in the hole
again, after a fumble by
Almashy, Edinboro recovered
at the Clarion 29. However, the
defense answered the call.
Edinboro made only two yards
and missed a 45 yard field goal.
The offense returned the
favor. RB Demetric Gardner ( 5

Clarion 18, Edinboro was
assessed a 15 yard penalty for
roughing the kicker, near the
end of the third. But, the
offense could not turn the good
fortune into points.

Edinboro opened the fourth
near midfield. The defense
answered once more, and
Edinboro watched another
missed field goal. Once more
keying the effort was LB"s
Mike Maguire ( 4 tackles for
losses and 2 sacks) and Brett
Wiley ( 11 tackles).

With less than seven minutes
to play, Clarion appeared to
have the game in hand, follow-
ing the missed FG, Clarion
drove down to the Edinboro 6,
on the legs of running backs of
Allen and Gardner. But,
Clarion was forced back, and
accepted a FG, to go ahead 29-
23, with 5:51 left to play.

Edinboro assembled a strong
drive. Mixing the running of
Henry and passing of Davis,
Edinboro mounted an 11 -play,
77 yard drive to go ahead 30-
29.

With only 1:08 left on the
clock, Clarion started at its own
30. But, two sacks set the
Eagles down for good.
Edinboro took over on downs,
and ran out the last seconds.

Of the late drive which stalled
on the Edinboro goal line coach
Luke said, "We didn't deliver
the knockout punch when we
had the chance." Luke once
more noted concerns about his
young squad. However, the
coach feels good about the
direction of the team, saying,
"We're growing up and going
through some growing pains
right now." Clarion drops to 1-
4 overall (0-2 PS AC West), and
will visit Shippensburg this
Saturday.

A look ahead

The Eagles will travel this
week to Shippensburg (5-1 over-
all, 1-0 PSACWest).
Shippensburg is home to an
offense and passing attack ranked
in the top ten nationwide among
NCAA Division II teams.
Shippensburg QB Chris Gicking
(Jr.) is unqestionable as the best
pure passer in the PSAC.
Gicking has gone 107/178 for
1754 yards, 15 TDs, 3 INT pass-
ing this year. His favorite target
will be WR Jaime Ware (45 rec.
748 yards, 4 TDs).

Clarion's defense is the #1
PSAC team in first downs
allowed, giving up only 65 in
five games. Wiley is third in the
PSAC with 61 tackles. The
problem? The offense has man-
aged only 80 first downs in a
conference filled with high scor-
ing teams.

A match-up for the ages turned

three passes and was named

The Wrestling Preview

by Dennis Phillips
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Practices began for the 1999-
2000 campaign for the Clarion
University Wrestling team. The
team is ready to improve on last
years performance after finishing
4-11-1. Coach Nellis and the
squad feel there better prepared
for this season compared to last.
Due to changes to weight classes
and how members of the team
are weighed in for matches, the
team is off a little. These
changes threw off recruiting.
But with a year of rule changes
under their belt the CU wrestling
squad should be better prepared.

All-American Mark Angle in
his senior season and Stan Spore
also a senior will be counted on
for their leadership this year for a
better record. Shane McChesney
and Brad Harris also will make
major contributions to the team
this year, just like they have in
previous years. L.A. Collier at
125, Kevin Brown at 165, and
Aaron Mitchell at 185 are possi-
ble new starters and will have

major contributions to this year's
team. Coach Nellis feels that
Brad Collins and Eric Mausser
will improve greatly as the sea-
son goes along.

Due to more experience and
added depth Coach Nellis feels
this years team will have a much
improved record compared to
last years. The teams first match
is November 21, at home in the
Clarion Duals with Ohio
University, UPJ, Lock Haven
and Finley.

INTRAMUR

by Bob Kotnik
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Linda Shirmer has been running
a long time. She has been road
racing since 1985, participating in
97 races. She runs over 1,000
miles a year but somehow, she
never manages to run away from
the Clarion University Cross-
country and Track and Field
teams.

Shirmer is in her sixth year as a
coach on the men and women's
track and field team and her sec-
ond as associate head coach for
both track and field and cross
country. Shirmer has been instru-
mental in helping head coach Pat
Mooney rebuild the cross-country
program that was struggling when
he took over.

In their first year together, the
team consisted of only 6 men and
6 women. Now they have 12 men
and 16 women. Mooney gives a
lot of that credit to Shirmer.

"In the last six years we've
made real progress both in terms
of quality and quantity. This year
we're nationally ranked (10th in

Jm W W $sw?

the northeast). Linda has been an
intricate part of that. She repre-
sents Clarion well."

Shirmer has always represented
Clarion well. She attended
Clarion University and earned her
degree in secondary education-
math. She was a 1985 graduate of
Clarion-Limestone High School,
where she was four-year letter
winner on the track and field
team. Shirmer led the team to
four Clarion County champi-
onships and two District 9 titles.

Shirmer is also the mother of
three, but somehow still finds the
time to keep running. She has
won the Clarion United Way race
in 1995 and '96. She has been
published in Runners World mag-
azine, authoring "How Busy
Moms Find Tune to Run".

In addition to everything that
she does, Shirmer also finds time
to help Mooney out in summer
camps and the recruitment of
track and field athletes. Mooney
likes the way that he and Shirmer
compliment each other as cross-
country coaches and realizes her
value to the team.

CU Golf finishes 3rd

by J.P. Kenney
^ Clarion Call Sports Editor

The Clarion University golf team
traveled to Fairmont, West Virginia
this past week to compete in the
Fairmont State Collegiate Golf
Invitational. Clarion posted an
impressive 3rd place finish out of
the ten team field. Clarion shot a
(300) total at the 1st round at Green
Hills Country Club. Clarion was
led by the tournament leader after
day one, junior J.P. Kenney who
shot an even par (70). The rest of
the team played consistently on
day one, Ryan Pepper shot (76),
Anthoney Tacconelli (77), Shawn
Will (77) and Matt Honacki fired a
(78).

The second round brought out the
wind at Green Hills Country Club
and it took the scores up. But

Dreams a reality for CUFs Sharp

Clarion held tough to shoot a
(301). Clarion was led by fresh-
man Ryan Pepper and sophomore
Anthoney Tacconelli both fired
four over par 74's. Other scores
included J.P. Kenney (75) and
senior Shawn Will (78). Clarion
finished with a two day total of
(601), which was one back of West
Virginia Weselyn and five back of
the winner Glenville State.

"We ended the fall season on a
positive note, it gives us something
to build on in the spring," said head
coach Al Leefvre.

Clarion will be heading into the
spring season without their numbei
one man Shawn Will who is gradu-
ating in December. All other
starters are returning and are
expected to step up their game to
fill Shawn's place on the team.

Former Clarion University bas-
ketball standout, Lormont Sharp
has signed a contract to play for
the Brighton Bears of the
Budweiser Professional League
which is the highest professional
level in England.

Sharp poured in over 21 points
a contest last season for the
Golden Eagles to earn
Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference Player of the Year
honors. In two seasons at
Clarion, Sharp scored over 900
points and was named second-
team All-American in 1998-99.

"This is a chance that I have
always dreamed of," said Sharp
,who is a native of Philadelphia.
"I have always told myself, since
I was in high school, that I was
going to work as hard as I could
to try to play professional basket-
ball."

Sharp spent his first two years
of college at St. Francis
University of New York. After
two losing seasons Sharp decided
to make a move. He landed in
western Pennsylvania where he
admits the adjustment was diffi-
cult.

"It was a tough transition from
New York City to Clarion to say
the least," said Sharp. "The
adjustment from the U.S to
England has been hard, but the
adjustment in terms of basketball
has been even harder."

The professional basketball
leagues of England have six divi-
sions which is common in Europe
and Asia. The sixth division is the
weakest while the first division is
the most competitive. The first
division is where many of the
division one players from the
United States compete, as well as
some former NBA players. With
the competition comes pressure

and expectations.

"The management of my team
expected me to be ready to play
my best the minute I stepped off
of the plane," said Sharp. "It has
been very tough and the practices
have been the hardest that I have
ever been through."

'The good thing is that I am in
the best shape of my life and
ready to do well for as long as it
lasts for me as a professional,"
said Sharp.

The English league is not con-
sidered to be one of the strongest
leagues in Europe but it has
served as a proving ground for
many players. Often a players
who has a good deal of success in
the Budweiser league will be
offered a contract in another
country where the competition is
better and the dollar amounts are
higher. Sharp has a vision for the
future but understands the order
that the progression takes place.

"I know that this is a stepping
stone for me," said Sharp. "My
agent has told me that if I can
make the all-star team in this
league that it will open up some
other doors for me in other
leagues."

The Budweiser league begins
play this week. In two pre-season
games, Sharp continued his hot
shooting hand that extends all the
way back to March when he was
still a Golden Eagle. Sharp
scored 28 in his first pre-season
game and 24 in his second. At
this pace he will not only make
the All-Star team but challenge
for the league Most Valuable
Player award.

"I always said to myself that I
didn't want to look back when I
was 30 years old and wish that I
would have tried to make it over
here," said Sharp. "I am here and
I am going to try to do well until
it is over."

SSHE and APSCUF locked in negotiations

by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

APSCUF and the State System of
Higher Education (SSHE) Board
of Directors met last Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday in an attempt
to come to a conclusion in the con-
tract negotiations. The negotia-
tions instead, however, remain in a
standstill.

Last week, the State System
offered their latest 3-year proposal.
This proposal included a two per-
cent general pay increase in the
first year, a two percent general
pay increase in the fall of 2000, a
one percent general pay increase in
the spring of 2001, a two percent

pay increase in the fall of 2001,
and a 1.5 percent pay increase in
spring of 2002.

APSCUF has refused this offer
and suggested their own 3-year
proposal. APSCUF's proposal
includes a 3.25 percent general pay
increase in the first year^ a three
percent pay increase in the second
year, and a three percent pay
increase in the third year. SSHE
has refused APSCUF's offer.

After APSCUF refused the State
System's 3-year proposal, the
State System offered a 1-year pro-
posal, which would extend
through June 30, 2000. The terms
of this proposal, which was also
refused by APSCUF, includes a

two percent general pay increase
for all faculty members retroactive
to July 1, 1999, a one percent pay
increase for faculty for January 1 ,
2000, and a five percent annual
service increments through June
30, 2000. The one-year contract
would allow for negotiations to
continue.

APSCUF rejected the one-year
proposal for several reasons.
Some of those reasons included
the fact that the contract would be
uncertain through the spring
semester, and the major issues
would not be solved, the health
and welfare fund would not
increase, and recruiting would suf-
fer because of the uncertainty of

the fall 2000 semester.

The major issues remaining are
the growth of temporary faculty,
which has been more than 30%
over the last three years, and cer-
tain wage issues including a new
wage schedule that APSCUF feels
will disadvantage 53% of the fac-
ulty.

When APSCUF left the bargain-
ing table, they left binding arbitra-
tion in their place. "Because of the
negative impact on our students
that would stem from a strike, we
will leave our proposal for binding
last-offer arbitration on the table,
in the hope that the Board will
reconsider its position," said State
APSCUF President William E.

Fulmer. The State System Board
of Governors, however, has
refused to accept binding arbitra-
tion because it is their job to deal
with negotiations and they feel that
their authority will be taken away
if arbitration is accepted.

Both parties started negotiating
again on Wednesday at 9 a.m.
They stayed at the bargaining table
until 10:45 when they called a
recess until 1 p.m. Meetings
resumed at 2 and a recess was
called at 6:45. When the Call
went to press there was still no set-
tlement. For negotiation updates,

Recreation Center slated to open next week

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call
News Editor

Anticipation is high, because the
long awaited $7.1 million rec cen-
ter is scheduled to open on
Monday, October 25.

A student fee approved by refer-
endum financed the 48,000 square
foot two-level rec center.

"I think the facility will be a def-
inite asset to recreation on cam-
pus. Students will be pleased
with the facility and enjoy using
it," said Dave Tomeo, Director of
the University Center.

The center sports three multi-
courts which can be used for bas-
ketball, volleyball, tennis, bad-
minton and other court activity.
Each court houses its own score
board and nets will divide the
courts.

A 3,500 square foot fitness cen-

ter is divided into two areas. Free
weights and weight machines are
housed in one area while cardio-
vascular equipment such as tread-
mills, steppers, elliptical
machines and stationary bicycles
are in another.

The four lane elevated running -
jogging track is 16 feet wide and
measured at being 8 3/4 laps for a
mile.

Although the 36' by 26' high
indoor climbing wall has its own
room, five belay stations, and
limited space, students will not
be charged extra to use or be
trained on the wall. Wall climb-
ing will be offered to students
after a half a dozen students
become trained.

Cross country skis, four camp-
ing tents, innertubes, snow sleds,
climbing shoes and back packs,
mountain bikes and outdoor
roller-blades will be available at

the outdoor rec check-out center.

The rec center will hold a meet-
ing room for intramurals, team
captains, employee training and
other purposes.

There will be a juice bar in the
lobby area which will seat 20 peo-
ple, andthere will be vending
machines. The area will be simi-
lar to the coffee cart in Gemmell.

One i.d. access entrance will be
used for the rec. center.

The multi-purpose room will
host aerobics classes, the Dance
Team, martial arts and individual
usage. A cover charge of $25 for
aerobics will still be needed to
pay for the cost of certified
instructors. Individual students
are welcome and encouraged to
attend these classes.

"I think students and staff are
going to appreciate the time and
effort that the building design
committee spent with the architect

Wassink, Director of Student

Also, there are mens and wom-

available for students to store per-
sonal items as well.

The building manager is Lori

Traffic problems are at the
wheels of the drivers

The traffic problems that everyone experiences in
Clarion makes it seem like we are driving in the big
city. And, Clarion is no big city.

The traffic light at the Courthouse definitely needs a
turn signal. Otherwise, only one car is able to get
through the light, and by then it was yellow.

Forget heading out on South Street because it too
needs a light. You'll sit there forever. And, you can't
see around the cars that park on the road.

The light near Still Hall needs a "No Turn on Red"
sign. If not, people need to check out the pedestrian
crosswalk signs.

Also, why must people block intersections? Like,
near Wendy's? If you can't go through the light, don't
block the intersection for everyone else. Common
courtesy folks.

Other traffic problems? Signal BEFORE you make
the turn, go to park, or change lanes. This is a big cause
for road rage.

Also, on campus, many students, visitors, and resi-
dents are constantly confused by the changes made
near Becker and Marwick Boyd. Is it one way or not?
I guess now with more construction, it's kind of obvi-
ous.

Tailgating. What's the point? This is not the right
town to tailgate. With a town with only one lane each
way, it's kind of pointless. So, back off, because you
aren't getting anywhere any faster than the person in
front of you.

Yes, everyone gets frustrated because of the continu-
ous traffic problems. Who wouldn't? But, we need to
remember to take turns, signal, and yield for pedestri-
ans. You know, the basics that were learned in drivers
ed?

Your Views

Boring classes

I really don't mean to sound like an intellectual snob,
but lately I've noticed that a lot of my fellow students
seem either dumb or lazy, or both.

I've been going to class pretty faithfully so far this
semester with hopes of graduating in December. And
the conversations I've overheard from my classmates
make me wonder what a lot of them are doing in col-
lege in the first place.

Students, as we all know, like to talk to each other
before and after (and often during) classes. Some of the
things they say can be very revealing about their level
of intellectual involvement in the courses they are tak-
ing.

the most frequently overheard complaint (at least by
my observation) is that a particular class or professor is
"boring." In some cases, that's undoubtedly true. There
is no way to make quadratic equations or cellular respi-
ration interesting, it's nothing humanly possible. So I
can understand that complaint in certain cases.

But for the most part, students today seem to be
using the word :boring" to describe any material that is
intellectually challenging, these days, the "boring" label
is applied to everything from biology to sociology —
two courses plenty of people would say are downright
fascinating.

The problem seems that students simply don't want

to be challenged to think anymore. Some of my friends
who came of age in the 1960s have told me great sto-
ries about all night bull sessions in dorm rooms.
Imagine that' students actually discussing ideas!

Do today's college students hang around dorm rooms
discussing lofty issues? Some do, I suppose. But most
of the conversations I've overheard sound more like
high school gossip: who's going out with whom, what
Suzy Sorority is wearing, which body part Freddy
Fratboy pierced, and so on. That kind of thing is inter-
esting for a few seconds, by why make it the focus of
an entire conversation, let alone your entire life?

Can 95 percent of the students on campus really be
as shallow and vapid as these conversations suggest?
I'd like to think not. But all of the complaints I've
heard about students being "bored" make me think this
might be the case indeed

"Boring" is a word that elementary school children
use to describe material that is too difficult for them to
understand, or a class in which the teacher is covering
the material too fast. I think it's largely the same thing
with college students. If they're taught the right way,
classes in history, psychology, sociology, and political
science are among the most interesting students can
take.

Editorial

"Your brain can 'get
jiggywitif too*"

Keith B. Gwillim, Lifestyles Editor

If I may speak frankly, the state
of today's music world makes me
nauseous. No, seriously; if I have
to listen to one more pre-pack-
aged, unoriginal, wanna-be Andy
Gibb teenybopper band, I'm
gonna projectile vomit like Linda
Blair. That, or my brain will
liquify and ooze out of my ears.

I don't want to hear one more
person whine that good music is
not to be found, either. There's a
wealth of excellent music out
there, you just have to know
where to look. MTV, VH1, and
Billboard's Top 40 aren't that
place (for the most part).

Funny thing is, everyone makes
fun of these bands, but they con-
tinue to sell millions of records.
And I know it's not just my sister.
Her room isn't that big. I'm not
just talking about Backstreet
Boys and 'N Suck (my fraternity
brother, and 1 took great pleasure
in commenting to one another as
teenage fans would pass us by at
ALF). I'm also referring to Kid
Rock, Matchbox 20, Smash
Mouth, Ricky Martin, Britney
Spears, Goo Goo Dolls,
Godsmack, and countless others.
I'll spare Christine Aguilera

'cause she's really cute, and I'm
from Pittsburgh, too. Thank God
UAB is bringin' in a decent band
(Garbage).

Almost every popular group the
public has embraced is complete-
ly and utterly without talent or
originality. Why??!!! For the
love of God (or at least my ears),
why?! I admit there's a place for
stuff that just gets your butt wig-
glin ' , but what happened to music
that made your brain wiggle, too?
Or combine the two, without
sounding old after the second lis-
ten? Your brain can "get jiggy
wit it," too.

So what is, and where is, the
good music today? The college
music scene is ripe with talented
acts, many of which move up to
the mainstream. Everyone
knows R.E.M.'s "Losing My
Religion" but what about "Radio
Free Europe"? Everyone loves
Orgy's "Blue Monday," but no
one realizes or cares mat it was
originally recorded in 1983 by
New Order (one of the best bands
ever) . Why aren't names like
Stereolab, PJ Harvey, Pavement,
Flaming Lips, and Massive

Clarion professor Don Leas takes a leave of abscence to
be the competition manager for diving at the 1996
Summer Olympics.

Ten years ago October 22, 1989

Mr. Keith Champagne was named Director of Minority

all minorities on campus.

Twenty years ago October 18, 1979

Bloomsburg colleges in protesting the underfunding of the

PSU system.

Thirty years ago October 25, 1969

Clarion Stae University requested that all students
obtain a social security number by pre-registration for the
spring semester. The student population outgrew the five-
digit system that was currently in progress.

Gwilliml Lifestyles Editor comments on the curren t state of music, from Page 3.

are the people making groundbreaking music today. I treat VJ Matt Pinfield's rant on the new Limp Bizkit
CD as the gospel now ("What happened to all the f***in' good music? Stuff that ROCKED?")

And today's pop music world is incredibly fickle. A deserving (or undeserving) band will no sooner break
into the incredibly conservative mainstream, then they will be dropped like a bad habit. One week, top of
the Billboard charts, the next a Dave Letterman joke. Blur labored in obscurity stateside for years before
breaking it over here with "Song 2." But why was the much more accomplished and perfect 13 album
ignored? It's one of the best CDs of the year, and no one knows about it. And then there's the most awful
of them all: Radiohead. In the early 90s, "Creep" became an alternative anthem. They've yet to score a
comparable hit in America, through no fault of their own. OK Computer was one of the most imaginative
and impossibly brilliant CDs of the past 20 years (no, the history of popular music), and about 5 people this
side of the Atlantic bought it. It should be this generation's Dark Side Of The Moon. I still can't believe Bob
Dylan won the Grammy over them that year, but the Grammys are nothing but a popularity contest anyway.

There are bands out there making devastatingly mind-staggering music, and people are just ignoring it. So
where can you find music that won't make your head explode like the dude in 'Scanners'? College radio
stations are always a good place to look. Here at Clarion, I'm obviously talking about WCCB, the AM sta-
tion. WCUC just insists on pressing the "Mambo No. 5" button like a hyperactive child that wandered into
the Hershey Chocolate plant. Read publications that cover the 'real' alternative scene, such as Spin,
Alternative Press, and CMJ New Music Monthly (5 bucks for a magazine and a CD can't be beat). They rec-
ognize good music, both popular and underground.

I'm not saying all popular music is bad. Hell, I have Lauryn Hill next to Joy Division in my collection.
What I am saying is that a great deal of it is bad, and there's more than enough room to let today's real vision-
aries shine through.

Greeks need to expand
offerings if they want to
change image

"Because drinking's a big part of philanthropy."

This is the type of information that was offered to a reporter from Rolling
Stone Spring Quarter who was profiling Ohio University's greek system.

And this is the information the reporter used.

A few beers after stating how his fraternity taught him to be a gentleman,
this greek casanova asked the reporter if he wanted to "f*** some sorority
girls. It can be arranged. Anyone you want."

While fraternities and sororities claim the reporter painted an unrepresen-
tative picture of greek life, the only thing that we know for sure is that this
is an old joke.

Drinking, drug usage, philandering, and other "naughty" behavior hap-
pens all around campus. That doesn't make it right, but it does raise the
question of what purpose a sorority and fraternity does serve.

For Chris Papadakis, president of OSU's Inter Fraternity Council, greek
life means philanthropy. Although he doesn't mention the symbiotic rela-
tionship between alcohol and charity, he did tell a Lantern reporter about the
$1,000 the greek community raised for the American Heart Association.
When compared with the $1,600 to $1,800 a sister or brother pays in dues
every quarter, it seems that greek philanthropy has more to do with beer
drinking than fundraising.

In January, David Williams II, vice president of student and urban/com-
munity affairs, put together the Greek Life Task Force to recommend
actions for improvement of the greek system. The recommendations were
submitted on June 2, but nothing has been done.

One of the ideas was to create a greek chapter recognition and incentive
program. The purpose would be to work with chapter leaders to set and
achieve goals that would give them the recognition for their achievements
and make sure the chapters achieved the stated goals. But this will take
funding-which has yet to be approved.

If a student is concerned about making a difference in someone's life, the
student can join the Big Brothers/Big Sisters or Habitat for Humanity. Until
the strict control of the Greek Life Task Force is put into effect, there is only
one reason to join a fraternity, and magazines will continue to portray its
members as nothing more than a group of binge-drinking blue-bloods wait-
ing to return to the picket-fence life of the suburbs.

1999 enrollment increase

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor

Enrollment at the 14 State
System of Higher Education uni-
versities increased this fall, mark-
ing the third straight year that the
number of students attending
Pennsylvania's state-owned uni-
versities has risen.

Half of the 14 universities
showed enrollment gains over a
year ago.

There are currently 95,088 stu-
dents enrolled in State System
universities this semester, an
increase of 36 students over the
1998 figure.

Clarion's enrollment has
increased by 162 students, making
total enrollment 6,028.

"We did very well compared to
our enrollment gains with other
schools in western Pennsylvania.
Some particular strength enroll-
ments include a seven percent
increase in freshman at Clarion's
campus and a strong increase in
business and computer informa-
tion science," said Clarion
University President Diane
Reinhard.

West Chester University experi-
enced the largest increase,
enrolling 314 more students than a

year ago.

Other universities with large
increases include Kutztown
University with 166 more stu-
dents; Lock Haven, which added
139 students, representing the
largest increase; and Mansfield
University, which increased
enrollment by 84 students.

Clarion University has shown a
significant increase in enrollment
over 1998 figures when enroll-
ment stood at 5,866 and suffered a
1.38 percent decrease in enroll-
ment.

"The continuing enrollment
growth is a testament to the high
quality education our universities
provide," said Chancellor James
H. McCormick. "It demonstrates
the confidence students and their
families have in our schools, and
in their ability to prepare them for
their future careers."

The increase is attributed to an
increase in high school graduates,
new programs at the university
levels, and retention rates, espe-
cially at the branch campuses.

The universities enrolled a
record number of African
American and Latino students this
fall, also continuing an upward
trend. There are a total of 5,718
African-American students taking

classes at the 14 State System uni-
versities and 1,174 Latino stu-
dents.

The three straight years of
increase follows a previous five
year decline.

Universities that experienced
decreases were Bloomsburg, los-
ing 80 students; Cheyney, down
56 students; Edinboro, which
decreased 29 students; Indiana,
down 348 students, also experi-
encing the largest decrease;
Millers ville, losing 159;
Shippensburg, which lost 65 stu-
dents; and Slippery Rock,
decreasing enrollment by 120.

The State System's primary mis-
sion is to provide students with a
high quality education at an
affordable cost.

Tuition and fees at the 14 uni-
versities are the lowest among all
four-year colleges and universities
in Pennsylvania

The State System of Higher
Education is the largest provider
of higher education in the
Commonwealth.

Its 14 universities offer more
than 250 degrees and certificate
programs in more than 120 areas
of study. Nearly 350,000 System
alumni live and work in
Pennsylvania.

Board reviews audit

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor >

The Clarion Students'
Association Board of Directors
met Tuesday, October 19, 1999 to
discuss the financial audit of the
CS A and to look into the possibil-
ity of investing monies into mutu-
al funds.

Carbis Walker and Associates,
LLP made a presentation about the
CS A audit through May 31, 1999.

The Associates were pleased to
see that the Board has begun to
invest more monies in mutual
funds.

This process of reinvesting divi-
dends will increase the importance
of tracking the dollar amounts
reinvested and the number of
shares acquired.

Mr. Don Young, part of the
auditing team for Carbis Walker
reviewed the audit for the Board.

The audit received an unquali-
fied opinion from the audit team.
This opinion is the best opinion,
stating that operations have pre-
sented fairly, all material respects
of the final position.

However, Young raised concerns
over writing off uncollected
advertising debts for the Clarion
Call, the student newspaper.

He was also concerned with
making sure that CSA operations
were Y2K compliant.

Mr. Ed Smith, .Managing
Director of First Union Securities
of Clarion, made a presentation on
investing funds. He advised that
the American Funds Group would
be most beneficial in investing
CSA monies.

He also reminded the Board that
there are periods of growth and
retention when investing monies.

He urged the Board to consider
going with established funds,
instead of going with trends.

In other business, a discussion of
the proposed coffee shop took
place with concerns being
expressed as to the target date for
the renovations to begin.

The Student Facilities
Committee of Student Senate had
made a proposal last year to the
Senate and the Board regarding
the implementation of a new cof-
fee shop to replace the old fitness
center in the Gemmell Student
Center.

Concerns over funding still exist
as both sides are unsure as to
where the funding should come
from.

Also of concern is how much
room will be lost due to part of the
library moving to Gemmell next
year as construction is slated to
begin near fall.

New committees were also
developed this year to continue the
operation of the CSA Board of
Directors.

These include the
Administration Evaluation

Committee, the Book Store
Committee, Investment

Committee, and Coffee Shop
Committee.

The Investment Committee will
begin looking into where to invest
the monies and into what kind of
funds.

The Book Store Committee will
be looking into concerns with
book purchasing, proposing a mis-
sion statement for the book store,
and reviewing the employee eval-
uations within the store.

The Administration Evaluation
Committee will continue to per-
form a full evaluation of the CSA
business office.

Goals and objectives for the
office have been submitted to the
Board.

Under new business, Mr. Larry
Jamison made a motion to allocate
$3,500 to the Student Senate for
expenses incurred for hosting the
Board of Student Government
Presidents meeting in November.

This is the first ever conference
hosted by Clarion. More than 125
student leaders, system officers,
and the Chancellor will be in

Proposal intended to alleviate parking problems

by Kristie Linden
Clarion Call Staff Writer

President Dr. Diane Reinhard, Dr.
Wood Yeaney, Director of the
Small Business Development
Center, and Joe Karg met with
Student Senate Monday, October
11, to discuss a $150,000 to
$200,000 transportation proposal
that is intended to provide ways to
combat parking problems on cam-
pus.

Karg and Yeaney are members of
the Clarion Transit Advisory
Committee and are working to
bring a bus system to Clarion.

Karg works with the Northwest
Pennsylvania Regional Planning
and Development Commission

Last spring the advisory commit-
tee conducted a feasibility study.
The study showed a large desire for
a bus system to run on campus,
downtown and to the Clarion Mall.

The committee believes that the
demand for a bus system is even

greater now.

The committee has put together
an application for a grant to fund
the project.

The committee suggested the stu-
dent activity fee be increased by
five dollars per semester to reduce
the cost of the project by $60,000.

Students will be able to use their
student identification card to ride
the bus without paying a fare.

Senior citizens will be able to ride
for free as well. Their fares will be
funded by the State Lottery.

All other members of the com-
munity will have to pay a one dol-
lar fee to ride the bus.

During the meeting, Karg
showed the senators a preliminary
bus route which is subject to
change.

The proposed route passes Eagle
Park, continues through campus,
down Main Street to the Clarion
MaU.

The operating budget draft allows
for two buses to operate seven days
a week, sixteen hours a day.

Future steps that Yeaney feels the
Transit Advisory Committee will
need to address and refine the bus
route to determine exact bus stop
locations.

The Clarion Transit Advisory
Committee is made up of Clarion
residents, Clarion faculty, and one
Clarion student. Members include
Sissi Barrman, Joanne Maria, Dan
Ellis, William McKissick, Robert
Ragon, Jerry Sawtelle, Annette
Salyzone, Joe Karg, Dennis Hill
and Dr. Wood Yeaney.

Peck speaks at ADEPTT conference

by A. A. Thompson

Clarion Call Assistant

News Editor

Dr. Kyle Peck served as the
keynote speaker for the 1999
Advancing the Development of
Educators in Pennsylvania
Through Technological Training
(ADEPTT) conference on Ocober
16.

The ADEPTT conference
focused on ideas about technolo-
gy in basic and higher education
and provided ideas about net-
working with colleagues.

"Showcased at this year's con-
ference were the 1999-2000 sub-
ject cluster projects guaranteed to
provide participants with new
ideas for using technology in the
classroom," says Jeanne Vilberg,
Clarion's ADEPTT coordinator.

The conference was mainly for

K-12 teachers, administrators,
intermediate personnel and uni-
versity faculty from Clarion,
Edinboro, IUP and Slippery
Rock.

ADEPTT; which was funded by
grants from the Bell Atlantic
Foundation and the Microsoft
Corporation, is in association
with Clarion University,
Edinboro University and Indiana
University of Pennsylvania.
Slippery Rock University is not
hosting an ADEPTT center but
takes part in grant activities.

The ADEPTT centers at the
schools are already providing
training in computer technology
and instructional design. This
includes the use of software and
web tools.

Dr. Peck received a M.A. in
education/reading, and a Ph.D. in
educational psychology/educa-

tional technology from the
University of Colorado Boulder.
He is currently an associate pro-
fessor of instructional systems
design at Pennsylvania State
University.

Peck is also President of the
Association for Educational
Communications and Technology
(AECT), and co-founder of the
Centre Learning Community
Charter School in State College.

He is also President of "Link to
Learn," which is designed to
teach educational professionals
how to use today's global com-
puter networks effectively.

The goal of the Bell Atlantic
Foundation, which is co-sponsor-
ing the event; is to allow non-
profit organizations to provide
students and teachers with the
technological tools to better their
lives.

C. U. team completes Italian research

by Kelly Markovich
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Summer is most definitely asso-
ciated with vacation and relax-
ation.

This summer was a bit different
for a research team from Clarion
University.

The researchers, led by Dr.
Frank Vento, professor of geogra-
phy and earth science in the
anthropology, geography, and
earth science department, made
history by becoming the first team
from a university from Western
PA to conduct fieldwork in Italy.
Vento led his team members Dr.
Paul Ryberg, associate professor
of anthropology, geography, and
earth science; Clarion students,
Russ Griebel and Bryon Straw;
Dr. Kurt Carr, director of protec-
tion and compliance,
Pennsylvania bureau of Historic
Preservation; Dr. John Berkin and

ical studies at the ancient Roman

"The success of our efforts led to
an agreement between Clarion
University, the University of
Rome, the Italian Superintendents
Office Archaeology, and the city
of Minturno, to do a multi-year
excavation of what we found,"
said Vento.

The study conducted during the
summer used much more high
tech equipment than previous
studies.

The last large, formal excavation
of the site began in the 1930's.
When economic restrains from
World War II limited further
research, the site was abandoned
until the 1960's when radar sur-
veys by Italian and American sci-
entists were conducted.

These surveys indicated the
occurrence of many artifacts
buried within the river bottom.

Since that time (the 1960's),
only small excavations by the
Italian superintendents Office for
Archaeology have been conduct-
ed.

The Clarion University research
team used tools such as a ground
penetrating radar system, a mag-
netometer, a conductivity meter, a
laser total station, and core bor-
ings in their studies this summer.

Vento said, "We used this geo-
physical equipment to determine
the presence of now buried sites."

"Our objectives were finding the
old Roman port facilities, map the
location of the canal linking the
river to the lagoon used as a sec-
ond port, identify the presence of
an amphitheater, and identifying
the actual Appian Way as it passed
the Roman legionnaire fort or cas-
trum," Vento said.

The Roman site, Mintumae, lies
along the Appian Way. It was
founded by the Romans following
their defeat of the Aurucans, an
indigenous group local to the area
around312A.D.

Under Roman control, the site
flourished, becoming a large mar-
itime and commercial center.

However, the site was aban-
doned in the 6th century A.D. and

came under the control of various
groups over time.

Vento finds the research to be
especially significant because the
area of southern Lazio, near
Mintumae, is the origination point
of many Italian immigrants that
came to Pennsylvania.

Vento said, "Historically, many
Pittsburgh/Erie Italian Americans
emigrated from this area of
Lazio."

He continued on to say that
many still have family in the
region.

The project will be expanded in
the summer of 2000. Vento is
planning to have 15 State System
of Higher Education students
along with 15 Italian students and
their faculty be involved in the
excavation of the lower port facil-
ity of Mintumae.

Vento explained that he is look-
ing forward to this project because
it will provide a chance to develop
long term relationships with the
Italian universities and govern-
ment.

Second student
rally at Slippery
Rock IL draws
small crowd

As students at universities in
the State System of Higher
Education (SSHE) hold rallies
and protests to try and avoid an
impending strike Slippery Rock
University held yet another rally
this week.

Although on a much smaller
scale, the second student rally
was held in front of the
University Union.

Tuesday afternoon, about 50
students and faculty gathered
to show support for the
Association of Pennsylvania
State College and University
Faculty (APSCUF) in their
negotiations with SSHE.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom
Ridge was criticized several
times during the rally for purling
other issues - such as his
hopes of running for vice-presi-
dent of The United States with
George Bush- before educa-
tion.

SSHE seeks $455.1 million appropriation

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor^

The Board of Governors of the
State System of Higher Education
will seek a state appropriation of
$455.1 million for the 2000-2001
year to help fund the operation of
the 14 state-owned universities.

The request represents an
increase of $17.5 million, or 4
percent, over the current year's
appropriation.

The System's overall proposed
educational and general budget
for the 2000-01 school year totals
$953.6 million, about half of
which would come from student
tuition and required fees.

The total represents a 4.1 per-
cent increase over the 1999-2000
operating budget.

The proposed budget includes
expected higher salary and bene-
fit costs and essential increases in
such non-personnel areas as
instructional and administrative
equipment needs, library
resources, technology upgrades
and debt service for the Academic
Facilities Renovation Program.

The budget includes a shortfall
of $15 million, which would need
to be addressed either through a

tuition increase or other means.

Tuition was just increased for
the current year by $150 per
semester.

The increase was approved by
the Board of Governors. There
was no tuition increase for the
1998-1999 academic year.

"Our appropriation request
reflects the efforts we have
undertaken in recent years to con-
trol our costs while continuing to
ensure our students access to a
high quality, affordable educa-
tion," said Chairman F. Eugene
Dixon Jr.

Currently, the system is review-
ing all of its academic and admin-
istrative functions in order to
improve cost-effectiveness and
efficiency, to enhance services, to
constrain the growth of costs and
generate increased revenue.

"We want our universities to
operate as effectively as possible
while being able to offer the high-
est quality programs," said
Chancellor James H.

McCormick. "While seeking to
keep our costs down, we also
must continue to invest in new
technology and in seeking the
development of new programs

that will meet the needs of
Pennsylvania's changing econo-
my.

Additionally, the Board of
Governors also approved several
special appropriations requests
for the next fiscal year. These
include: $2 million for the
Corporate Alliance of
Pennsylvania; $2 million for sci-
ence and technology education;
$3.4 million for information sys-
tems integration; $500,000 for
the Pennsylvania Academy for
the Profession of Teaching;
$500,000 for the Labor Education
Institute; $1.7 million for social
equity initiatives; $440,000 for
McKeever Environmental

Learning Center; and $2.2 million
for expansion of the Keystone
Library Network to

Pennsylvania's community col-
leges.

The Corporate Alliance for
Pennsylvania will work with
business and industry in the
development of programs to meet
the needs of employers in
Pennsylvania.

nology funds will be used to

Brown also featured the "Life
Values Inventory" which was cre-
ated by him. "Life Values
Inventory" highlighted cultural
values that are evident in the soci-
ety, world, and University.

He also helped the faculty and
general education committee in
articulating the values education

program for Clarion students.

"Outcomes Assessment from the
First Year of College to Senior

Clarion University's education
program.

including electro-optics, multi-
media, and engineering.

The System is preparing for
implementation of shared inte-
grated and administrative system
and central date repository, which
may result in significant future
savings for the campuses, an esti-
mated $29 million in 10 years.

The Academy for the Profession
of Teaching is led by the State
System and the K-16 education
community.

The purpose of the academy is
to enrich and enhance the profes-
sional development of educators

"We appreciate the help that the
Board has given us in cutting
down the expenses. The support
that they are giving us is very
much appreciated," said Student
Senate President Leslie Suhr.

Suhr announced that, to date,
the Office of Social Equity, the
Office of Finance and
Administration, McDonalds,
Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity, the
Alumni Relations Office, the
President's Office, and the Board
of Student Government
Presidents have donated money to
the event.

Costs incurred for hosting such
an event include printing, cater-
ing, and speaker fees.

Finally, discussion occurred as
to changing the job status of CS A
employees, but it was recom-
mended that more information be
provded before the Board would
act on any recommendations.

The Board will continue to meet
with their prospective commitees
to outline goals and objectives of
each committee for the year.

The next meeting of the Board
of Directors will be on Tuesday,

The 'Secret of My Success'

by Matthew May
m Clarion Call jSta ff Writer

Everyone loves to find out
secrets. This love is amplified
when it is the secrets of the
world's most successful people.
Guest speaker Gary Tuerack
revealed these secrets to the stu-
dents of Clarion University
Tuesday evening in Gemmell
Student Center. All students at the

presentation became enriched and
even had a little fun by Tuerack's
presentation, "Discover the
Secrets of the World's Most
Successful People", sponsored by
theUAB.

Due to his blend of humor, pas-
sion, and personal touch, Gary
Tuerack had an electrifying pre-

his own programs and presenta-

Tight Club' swings and misses

# Clarion Call Staff Writer

There's a very fine line between
over-the-top entertainment and over-
the-top stupidity. Brad Pitt fans will
probably be unhappy to learn that in
Pitt's new film, 'Fight Club', director
David Fmcher vaults across that line,
starts running, and never looks back.
What begins as a stylish examination
of the dual nature of man winds up
degenerating into a 2 1/2 hour street
fight, with moviegoers taking most
of the bumps along the way.

I'm Die first to admit that I'm not a
fan of Fmcher's previous work. I
thought he completely wrecked a
great franchise with the morbid

'Alien3' and that his recent Michael
Douglas thriller, 'The Game', was a
boring and nihilistic dud. I'm also
one of the few people left on Earth
who hasn't seen 'Seven'. Despite
my distaste for Fincher, I entered
'Fight Club' with an open mind, and
left disappointed.

'Fight Club' follows an unnamed
narrator (Edward Norton) suffering
from amnesia brought about by bis
depressingly mundane life. He finds
solace by visiting various self-help
groups and crying in the arms of
group members, including rocker
'Meat Loaf' Aday in a role as a for-
mer bodybuilder now afflicted with
giant breasts. Just when Norton's

character thinks he's finally con-
quered his amnesia, his self-help
group sessions are invaded by Maria
(Helena Bonham Carter), a fellow
"faker" whose very presence
destroys Norton's newly-found con-
fidence, not to mention his sleep pat-
terns.

After the narrator and Maria come
to an agreement that they'll equally
divide their self-help sessions so that
they won't have to see each other
again, Norton meets Tyler (Brad
Pitt), a soap salesman who works
part-time at a local movie theater
where he splices pornographic
scenes into family films. Tyler is

and Clarion Area Jaycees

If you're looking for a
good scare this Halloween
season, Northwest PA offers
three attractions that are
sure to scare the socks off
all the trick or treaters.

The first frightful feature
is the USS Nightmare. This
floating barge full of
frights is docked at Station
Square in Pittsburgh. The
vessel is the home of a

deranged captain named
Josiah Cain and his crew of
ghouls, who disappeared in
the Ohio River in October
1928. It is said that on the
anniversary of the sinking,
the Nightmare returns to
prey upon the Captain's
descendants. This year the
creepy captain targets
Pittsburgh.

The USS Nightmare offers
over 30 rooms of terror.
Mazes, monsters, screams
and smoke await passengers
brave enough to set foot on
this haunted vessel.

The USS Nightmare is
open daily, except for

attraction is open from 6:30
pm to 11 pm on Sundays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and
Thursdays. It will close at
1 am on Fridays and
Saturdays. Tickets are $12.
The 7th Annual Fright
Fest takes over the IC Light
Ampitheatre. The Fright
Fest contains many differ-
ent features, thrill rides and
spooky moments. This year
also sports many new addi-
tions, such as realistic
sound effects and illumina-
tions.

The Haunted House tests
your perception with hyp-
notizing patterns and
spooky sights and sounds.

A new attraction,
"Forbidden Skull", tests
your nerves with bone chill-

ing adventures. The Fright
Fyest also offers the "Castle
of Terror", the spook stage
and much more to make
your Halloween experience
complete. Times are 6:30
pm to 11 pm Sunday
through Thursday, and 6:30
pm to 12 pm on Friday and
Saturday. Admission is
$12, but with a college ID,
it's only $10 on the 18th,
19th, 25th, and 26th.

If you feel like being
scared closer to home, the
Clarion Jaycees are holding
their annual haunted house
October 21st through the
30th at Wolf's Camping
Resort. The scares begin at
7 p.m. on weekdays and
continue till 10 p.m. On

Baby hormones have taken over my wife

9 '

', >
i *

by Dave Barry
s Syndicated Columnist

The most powerful force in
the universe is not any kind of
nuclear energy. It is not mag-
netism, gravity, or the IRS.
The most powerful force in the
universe is hormones. If you
don't believe me, conduct the
following simple scientific
experiment:

1. Take a normal woman.

2. Get her pregnant.

3. See if she can walk past a
display of baby shoes without
stopping.

I've been conducting this
experiment for several months
now with my wife, Michelle.
She's pregnant, and I have
reason to believe that I'm the
father. I'm excited about this,
because I'm at an age - 52 -
when many of my friends are
thinking about retiring to dull,
meaningless lives of travel,
leisure, recreation and culture.
Not me! I'm about to start all
over again with a brand-new
little Miracle of Life to love,
nurture, and - above all -
become intimately familiar
with the poops of.

But so far the big change in
my life has been Michelle's
behavior. She has never been
a particularly maternal person;
she's a professional sports-

writer who has always been
one of the guys. She under-
stands the triangle offense and
can watch football longer than
I can. I've seen her fight her
way through frenzied locker-
room media mobs to get
quotes from giant sweaty foot-
ball players. I've seen her
stand on
the field of
3Com Park
in San

Francisco
right before
a baseball
playoff
game,
arguing in
Spanish
and not
backing
down one
millimeter
from a pro-
fessional

baseball player who was (1)
VERY angry about something
she'd written and (2) holding a
baseball bat.

Like many career woman,
Michelle insisted that becom-
ing a mother would not change
her. She was going to be the
same professional person,
darn it! She was NOT going
to turn into one of those
women who babble obsessive-

ly about the baby and baby
clothes and all the other baby
fixin's. Above all, she was
NEVER going to drive a mini-
van.
Right.

I would estimate that, at the
present time, my wife's blood
supply is 92 percent baby-
related hor-
m o n e s .
Doctors
call hor-
mones "the
Saddam
Husseins of
the human
body,"
because
they are
moody, and
when they
give com-
m a n d s ,
they expect
instant
obedience. So for now my
wife is not my wife: She is the
official spokesperson for
crazed dictator hormones.
When the hormones wake up,
they do NOT want an affec-
tionate good-morning kiss.
They want AN UNCOOKED
POP-TART, and they want it
RIGHT NOW. You do not
question them, because they
will throw up on you.

The hormones also want
baby shoes. I don't know
why. I have seen the baby, at
the doctor's office, via a pro-
cedure called a "sonogram,"
and although of course I think
it is a very beautiful and gift-
ed child, it looks, more than
anything, like a wad of gum. I
frankly cannot imagine, given
its current lifestyle in the
womb, that footwear is a high
priority.

But you try telling this to the
hormones. They are CRAZY
for baby shoes. My wife
could be fleeing from an
armed robber, but if she ran
past a display of baby shoes,
her hormones would demand
that she stop, pick up a shoe,
and exclaim to whoever is
nearby, even the robber,
"Look how CUTE!" The
smaller the shoe is, the cuter
the hormones think it is. If
somebody came out with a
baby shoe the size of a mole-
cule, which could be viewed
only through a very powerful
microscope, my wife's hor-
mones would make her buy 27
pairs.

The hormones also want
baby outfits. Even though the
baby is still deep inside my
wife and would be very hard
to dress without surgical

instruments, it already has a*
least as many outfits it
Elizabeth Taylor. If you come
to our house for any reason,
including to fix an appliance,
the hormones will make my
wife show you these outfits
one at a time, and as each one
is held up, you will be expect-
ed to agree that it is cute.

Lately the hormones have
become obsessed with the
decor of the baby's room.
They definitely wanted a
Winnie the Pooh theme, but
they spent weeks agonizing
over whether to go with the
Regular Pooh or the Classic
Pooh theme. They finally
decided on Classic Pooh, but
of course now they must
decide which of the estimated
14 million Classic Pooh baby-
room accessories they will
need. This is an important
issue, and the hormones think
about it all the time, even dur-
ing football games. Any day
now, Michelle is going to walk
up to a defensive tackle in the
Miami Dolphins locker room
and ask him what he thinks
about the Pooh ceiling border.
This is not her fault. She is
merely the vehicle: The hor
mones are driving.

Speaking of which, they
want a minivan.

pace of the two-hour presentation, the entertaining
stories, visuals, and exercises made all the covered
subjects relevant and memorable.

So what are these sacred secrets of the world's most
successful people? Tuerack immediately made the
point that the most successful people are the ones
doing what they love instead of doing what they
think will make them the most money. However, it
is more involved than just doing what they love
which brings about their success. Clearly it comes
down to a matter of principles by which these suc-
cessful people live that give them the ability to suc-
ceed. Through a range of amusing and enlightening
exercises and visuals, Tuerack made these principles
very acceptable to his audience. Beginning with
clearly defining what you want and taking immediate
action toward that dream sets you on the road to suc-
cess. Followed by being willing to take risks, work-
ing hard, and having continued persistence until the
goal is achieved, no goal is ever out of reach.
Tuerack confessed that the world is negative, but it is
only by not letting the negative comments of others
halt the pursuit of goals that dreams are achieved.
These so-called secrets are not difficult to under-
stand, yet they are difficult to follow through on.
Nevertheless, Gary Tuerack, along with many other
highly successful people, is living proof of what can

be accomplished when these principals are main-
tained.

Even staying after the presentation was finished to
personally talk with students, Gary Tuerack was a
treasure to have here at Clarion. His message was
powerful and insightful; one that everyone should
hear. Clarion University was most fortunate to have
him, and hopefully he will return for years to come.

Sting's 'Brand New' record

by Keith B. Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

Sting's new record, Brand
New Day, would be a lot better
is Sting didn't try to be so hip on
it. Granted, Mr. Gordon
Summers has always been a lit-
tle bit full of himself; that's the
reason The Police broke up. But
here, the 'oh look at me I'm so
trendy' meter is in full swing.

Sting's duet with Puff Daddy
on the MTV Music Awards (the
worst idea I've ever heard of
since they started packaging
peanut butter and jelly in the
same jar) seems to have given
Sting delusions of grandeur. As
Dr. Evil would put it; "I'm hip,
I'm with it."

Many reviews for this album
have said it shows much maturi-
ty, but in parts, it's very imma-
ture. Sting tries to appeal to a
crowd that hasn't listened to him
for over a decade on Brand New
Day. The most blatant and
embarrassing example of this is
on the album's mid- way point,
"Perfect Love...Gone Wrong."
It starts out promising, with a
typically jazzy prelude and
weathered vocals. But after
Sting has completed his verse,
from out of nowhere comes a

ridiculous French rap singer
ranting about God-knows-what.
Then, just as suddenly as the
hip-hop rhythm appeared, the
jazz melody kicks back in. It's
incredibly goofy and totally
destroys a perfectly good song.
Yet another reason to hate the
French, I guess.

The album starts off on the
right foot, with the haunting "A
Thousand Years." Evoking
memories of Sting's masterpiece
record,
The Soul M
Cages ,
"Years"
is a won-
de r f u 1
parable
of unre-
qu i ted
love as
only he
can do it.
"I've
kept this
single
faith, I
have but
one
belief - I
still love you, I still want you,"
he sings with wonderful emo-
tion. The next song, "Desert
Rose," would be a lot better if it

weren't so overproduced; as it is
drowned in synthesizers.
Despite that, it contains some
wonderful worldbeat-meets-
Arabian music flourishes.

There are other high points on
the album, too. "After The Rain
Has Fallen" sports an infectious
sing-along chorus and feel-good
beats. "Big Lie Small World" is
a nice addition to his growing
anthology of whimsical and
tongue-in-cheek love-gone-bad

songs
("Seven
Days").

But, the
album has
just as
many mis-
steps, too.
"Tomorrow
We'll See"
is interest-
ing, as
Sting tack-
les the sub-
ject of
prostitution
for the first
time since
The
Police's "Roxanne." The twist
is, he's singing from the per-
spective of the hooker here. It
would have come over better if
it had been sung by someone
who actually does wear mascara,
though, such as David Bowie.

"Fill Her Up" continues his
maddening infatuation with
country music, which started
with 1996's Mercury Falling.
The songs on that album that are
in the country vein were well
done, but here it is just annoy-
ing. Then, all of a sudden, a
gospel chorus breaks into the
climax of the song. That part is
worth listening to, but you have
to go through three minutes of a
wealthy Englishman pretending
to be a gas station jockey to
uncover it. Even the presence of

James Taylor on guest vocals
can't save it. "Ghost Story" is
just boring and routine. Sting's
done this sort of thing better
before ("Moon Over Bourbon
Street", "Shape Of My Heart").
Sting does end the album on a
high note, though. The album's
title track, "Brand New Day,"
(of course) is classic solo Sting
material, with a timeless
melody, slow build-up leading
to a wall-of-sound climax, and
with enough swirling textures
and eclectic instrumentation to
make your head spin. It's one of
the only tracks on the album
where Sting really seems like
he's having a good time, to boot.
He's in top lyrical form, when
spitting out couplets like " I'm
the rhythm in your tune, I'm the
sun and you're the moon. I'm
the train and you're the station,
I'm the flagpole to your nation."
A line like "Stand up all you
lovers in the world; Be counted
every boy and every girl, we're
starting up a brand new day,"
would sound hopelessly hokey
from anyone else's mouth but
Sting's.

All in all, Brand New Day is
quite a mixed bag. The best
moments on the album never
reach the emotive heights of
previous albums like The Soul
Cages, or the musical textures of
Dream of the Blue Turtles and
Ten Summoner's Tales.
However, even a mediocre Sting
album is better than the majority
of the music scene.

Brand New Day makes for
wonderful fireplace-lit romantic
date music. Sting's glory days
with The Police are behind him,
and so are his best solo days, but
with 'every breath he takes' he is
still full of originality. That's
more than can be said for most
acts. On my 5-star rating scale,
Sting's Brand New Day gets a 3
and 1/2.

that the narrator isn't: charismat-
ic, brutal, and headed rapidly on a
downward spiral. Norton's char-
acter and Tyler team up to form
Fight Club, a violent underground
fighting organization that allows
Average Joes to be heroes and
legends for just one night.
Everything goes fine for the nar-
rator and Tyler until Maria enters
the equation once again and turns
their lives upside down.

The first 90 minutes of 'Fight
Club' are very entertaining, if not
completely bizarre. But some-
where in the second hour, Fincher
decides to take his film on an
entirely different and confusing
route, shifting the focus to a cult-
like splinter organization called
Project Mayhem. That shift, cou-
pled with a major plot twist that
occurs during the last half-hour of
the film, turns 'Fight Club' into a
ridiculous example of self-parody.
Much like the predicaments fac-
ing its characters, 'Fight Club'
starts out as a simple idea and
winds up becoming too big for
anyone to control.

'Fight Club' also features stun-
ning camera work that keeps the
action flowing. I'll give Fincher
credit, the cinematography in
'Fight Club' is nothing short of
perfect. But even flashy camera
shots and snappy dialogue can't
make up for the many flaws. As
Pitt says in the movie, "Rule num-
ber one: Don't talk about Fight
Club." Having just sat through
that sadly unrewarding film, I'd
like to state that my number one
rule about 'Fight Club' is stay at
home and rent a video instead.

Another close loss; Eagles lose 26-32 in Shippensburg

by John C. Crawford
Clarion Call Staff Writer ^

For the second time in two
weeks, the Clarion Golden
Eagles football team went on the
road and fell short by less than a
touchdown. Last Saturday, the
Eagles traveled to Shippensburg,
and stayed close all game against
one of the most prolific offenses
in NCAA Division II. But, the
team couldn't close the deal, and
went down 26-32.

Shippensburg's first drive was
stuffed, when Clarion LB Brett
Wiley (13 tackles, 2 sacks) put
down Shippensburg QB Chris
Gicking (15/24, 336 yards, 3
TDs, INT) for a nine yard loss on
third down. Clarion took over on
the SU 46-yard line, after a poor
punt. Clarion QB Adam
Almashy (13/33, 142 yards)
directed the Eagles to an early
field goal.

SU answered back quick.
Gicking connected with Mike
Erlandson (3 rec, 96 yards, 1 TD)
for a 64-yard touchdown.

Clarion responded by driving
54 yards to the Shippensburg 19.
However, K Frank VanWert
could not hit on a 37-yarder.

SU came back fast. Gicking hit
WR Jaimie Ware (8rec, 188
yards, 2 TDs) for a 77 -yard strike

to the Clarion six. But the
Clarion defense rose to the occa-
sion. Keyed by a Mike Maguire
sack, CU held Shippensburg to
three with 1:03 left in the first.

On the ensuing kickoff, Kervin
Charles made a 55-yard return to
theSU29. A 24-yard pass to TE
Andy Pore (5 rec, 56 yards) put
Clarion on the goal line. Glenn
Allen (4 carries, 14 yards, 2 TDs)
punched it in on the next play.

Shippensburg took its first pos-
session of the second quarter the
distance. Gicking directed a 12
play, 72 yard drive, capped by a
10-yard TD reception by Ware.
The Clarion offense responded
once more, overcoming two
third-downs and a fourth down to
set up another VanWert FG.

After a fumble on the kickoff
return, Shippensburg started on
its own 11. CB Kervin Charles
picked Gicking off on the first
play of the drive, taking it back
40 yards for the score. Clarion
went up 20-17.

Shippensburg's next drive
stalled, after another third-down
sack, this time by Bill Burns.
After the punt, Almashy pushed
Clarion down the field. A 33-
yard pass to Justin Sickeri
brought Clarion into the red zone
again. But, VanWert failed to
convert a 36-yard FG attempt.

The Eagles took a three point
lead into the locker room.
Clarion kept pace with the red-
hot Shippensburg team's 275
yards, making 226 yards in the
half.

Clarion came out of the locker
room playing for keeps.
Roosevelt Benjamin came into
the offense, and caught a 48-yard
TD pass. But, the play was
called back on a procedural
penalty. Clarion was forced to
punt.

Shippensburg assembled a
strong drive on its first posses-
sion of the half. Erlandson made
a 23-yard, 16-yard run, and a 5-
yard TD to round out the 10-play,
80- yard drive.

But Clarion regained the lead,
after a bad punt by SU traveled
only three yards. Clarion set up
on the Shippensburg 20. Glenn
Allen scored the go ahead TD,
but VanWert's extra point was
blocked. Clarion led 26-24.

On their next drive, Gicking
and Ware hooked up for passes of
32 yards, of 17 yards, and a 23-
yard TD. The two-point try
failed. Afterward, SU opted for
an onside kick, but Clarion
recovered. Shippensburg led 30-
26 going into the fourth.

Stalled by two penalties at mid-
field, Clarion attempted a fake

punt, which failed. SU took over
at the Clarion 43. But, on third
down, Troy Bowers forced a bad
pitch-out by Gicking, which the
Eagles recovered. A personal
foul put Clarion on the SU 46.

RB Doug Dudash (11 runs, 78
yards) tacked on a 14 -yard run
next play. But a fumble by
Sickeri took the Eagles out of
field goal range. However,
Shippensburg's next drive fell
apart at mid-field, where Clarion
LB Wiley stepped up again, mak-
ing a critical sack.

With the ball at his own 27,
Almashy threw three consecutive
incomplete passes. The follow-
ing punt was blocked into the
back of the end zone for a safety,
giving Shippensburg a 32-26
lead.

Forced to give the ball back to
Shippensburg, with 4:46 to play,
the defense again made a huge
play to keep the Eagles' hope
alive. LB Kevin Platz sacked
Gicking, and forced a fumble,
which was recovered by Burns at
the SU 45-yard line.

But, the offense failed to capi-
talize. But, the defense again
held, forcing Shippensburg to
punt. However a 60-yarder left
Clarion with 2:29 to go 85 yards.
Almashy could only manage a 6-
yard pass to Pore, before CU
punted again. Shippensburg RB
Jeremy Brubaker broke off a 42-
yard run to the Clarion 11, killing
Clarion's last chance.

Clarion's fortunes turned sour
in the second half. The Eagles
managed only another 58 yards
in die half. Shippensburg fin-
ished the game with 514 total
yards. Clarion's pass rush pro-
duced seven sacks, but failed to
slow Gicking, Ware, and
Shippensburg's high-power pass-
ing attack.

Clarion coach Malen Luke stat-
ed, "I think that where we're at
right now, we got to find a way to
win." Luke did like the way his

team played up to its competi-
tion, saying, "Shippensburg's
offense is as good as anybody's
in the league."

Clarion falls to 1-6 (0-3, PSAC
West) and will host Indiana
University of Pennsylvania this
weekend.

A look ahead

Clarion will host Indiana (Pa.)
this Saturday, October 23, at 1
p.m. IUP holds a 3-3 record, and
a 1-1 mark in the PSAC WesL
Indiana was once ranked as high
as #10 in the nation.

Both teams fight tooth and nail
on defense. IUP is second in the
PSAC in first downs allowed,
giving up 93 in six games. The
Eagles are number one, giving up
only 87 first downs.

LB Brett Wiley ,a senior, leads
the PSAC with 16 tackles for
losses, and is second in total
tackles, with 74. IUP's Roger
Wilson is fourth in the PSAC
with seven sacks. Wilson also
has notched 1 1 tackles behind the
line.

The word on this game?
Clarion's defense sets up its
offense. If they can capitalize,
this can be a win. Conversely, as
IUP's defense goes, so goes die
team. IUP has to win the field
position game, because its
offense has put up only 2 passing
TDs in six games.

Also, keep an eye on IUP offen-
sive lineman Leander Jordan.
NFL scouts are projecting him as
low as a first round pick. Clarion
coach Malen Luke simply says of
him, "He's legitimate."

This game features a pair of
freshman QBs. Clarions Adam
Almashy has the stats (8 TDs, 4
INTs). IUP's Brian Byerman has
not shown well at all (1 TD, 7
INTs). But, IUP falls back on its
running game and the D, any-
how.

Student-athletes are making a difference

by J.P. Kenney
## Clarion GiU Sports Editor

Every two weeks at Clarion
University, a SAC meeting takes
place in Tippin gym. SAC stands
for Student Athletic Committee.
In this meeting, there are one to
two representatives from each ath-
letic team present. The meetings
are held for several reasons. One,
is to make sure each team doesn't
have any problems involving
equipment or classes or things
such as that nature. If there is
such a problem, the representative
will tell Bob Carlson, the Athletic
Director or the Assistant Athletic
Director, Traci Cummings. Both
are present at each meeting and
they are the advisors for this
group. In addition, Dr. Iseli
Krauss is the Faculty Athletic
Representative, (FAR). She is
also a big part in providing outside
information to these athletes.

Another reason why this com-
mittee meets is in order to do
things for the community. This is
a way the athletes can thank
everyone for attending their ath-

letic events. This year, like last,
SAC plans on participating in
three functions. The first is called
Operation Clean Sweep. This
program is done by every athlete
at Clarion University. Each team
is assigned a street block in the
Clarion area. Then each team
member cleans the block by pick-
ing up garbage on the ground.

A second program the SAC
group does is a community food
drive. This takes place around
Thanksgiving and recently it has
turned into a contest between the
athletic teams. Each team mem-
ber brings in as many canned
goods as possible, then on the
final day the food is gathered and
taken out into the community.

The third program, and the
newest one introduced is called
Student- Athlete Day. This pro-
gram is designed to help out local
high school students interested in
playing sports at the collegiate
level. In this program a local high
school student will follow around
a college student of the same sport
for the day. He or she will follow
them to classes and then practice.

This will give the high school stu-
dent a look into his future college
life.

The SAC committee at Clarion
is headed up by four executive
board members. President Jesse
Shirey of the wrestling team, vice
president is Tab Musser of the
football team. Tab is also the state
representative for Clarion
University along with Tamica
Washington of the Clarion
women's basketball team. Other
exec board members include sec-
retary Melissa Yearous and trea-
surer Kristie Runk.

The other 13 state schools of
Pennsylvania also have student
athletic committees. Currently all
14 schools are working together in
producing more programs for the
student-athlete to help in.

AH, setting up the competition

Eagles

The Clarion women's volley-
ball team has had an up and
down season to this point. They
lost their captain Jess Canfield
to an injury causing her to miss
the season. But in these tough
times talent is starting to be
shown.

One such talent is in the form
of Ali Graham. Ali Graham is a
sophomore from Plum Boro,
which is near Pittsburgh. She
has been playing volleyball for
the past seven years. She cur-
rently leads the lady Golden
Eagles in assists. She also had
an outstanding performance
against Bowie State in the
Clarion Classic. In that game
she had an amazing 33 assists
and 1 1 digs in a winning effort.
This is quite remarkable
because she is not playing her
natural position. Her natural
position is outside hitter and
currently she is a setter.

"I would say right now we
don't have an unsung hero but
what Ali is doing is remarkable

because she is learning a whole
new position," said first year
* head coach Pennewill.

Ali is very humble though, she
mentions one of her best games
was their first conference win.

"I feel our best win this season
has been at Slippery Rock,
where we won our first confer-
ence game, said Ali.

Ali along with the rest of the
team work very hard. Once the
team comes back from winter
break they will start up for the
spring season. The team also
powerlifts three days a week for
conditioning purposes.

As for the rest of the season
Ali is optimistic. "I would like
to finish the season over five
hundred and win our final con-
ference games."

When Ali Graham is not set-
ting up her teammates on the
court she is studying, so she can
keep up her 3.2 GPA. She is an
early childhood major who one
day hopes to coach high school
volleyball. But in the mean-
time, she is setting up her team-
mates for the kill.

Midnight madness mania slam dunks the
Clarion Golden Eagles

by Kristen Conway
,. Clarion Call Staff Writer (

Nothing but net and a whole lot of
excitement kicked off the first day of
the 1999-2000 basketball season at
Clarion University. Anxious stu-
dents and wound-up fans found
themselves at Tippin Gymnasium to
help celebrate the beginning of an
anticipated new coming for a team
filled with talent Talent which will
help the Golden Eagles compete in
the PS AC. Senior point guard Will
Lindsey commented on the upcom-
ing season.

'This season is sure to be an excit-
ing one! As a team we are filled with
talent, good personalities, good atti-
tudes, both on and off the court"

The madness that filled the gym
was hosted by none other then the
University Activities Board and
starred none other then the Clarion
Golden Eagles mens basketball
team. The Cheerleading squad
kicked off the night with a routine
sure to get your blood flowing.

The night was filled with activities
and raffles. Carter Woodson, a junior
from Lancaster, PA, hit the big shot
from half-court winning a basketball
autographed by the 1999-2000
Golden Eagles basketball team, "I
just pulled up and shot, I knew it was
in as soon as it left my hands," com-

ment Woodson on his victory.

The night was brought to a spec-
tacular close with a Slam-Dunk con
test and inter squad scrimmage. Five
Golden Eagles competed for the title
of Clarion Slam-Dunk King.
Returning champion Allan Stevens
and junior transfer Chris Kelly made
it to the final round, going head to
head for the crown. Stevens found
himself in a sticky situation when
Kelly put on the heat forcing Stevens
to give all he had. In the end Kelly's
heat was just too hot for Stevens and
the crown was passed to Kelly.

This season promises to be a spec
tacular one.

Student-athletes are making a difference

by J. P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sjwrts Editor

Every two weeks at Clarion
University, a SAC meeting takes
place in Pippin gym. SAC stands
foi Student Athletic Committee.
In this meeting, there are one to
two representatives from each ath-
letic team present. The meetings
are held for several reasons. One,
is to make sure each team doesn't
have any problems involving
equipment or classes or things
such as that nature. If there is
such a problem, the representative
will tell Bob Carlson, the Athletic
Director or the Assistant Athletic
Director, Traci Cummings. Both
are present at each meeting and
they are the advisors for this
group. In addition, Dr. Iseli
Krauss is the Faculty Athletic
Representative, (FAR). She is
also a big part in providing outside
information to these athletes.

Another reason why this com-
mittee meets is in order to do
things for the community. This is
a way the athletes can thank
everyone for attending their ath-

letic events. r ITiis year, like last,
SAC plans on participating in
three functions. The first is vailed
Operation Clean Sweep. This
program is done by every athlete
at Clarion University. Each team
is assigned a street block in the
Clarion area. Then each team
member cleans the block by pick-
ing up garbage on the ground.

The third program, and the
newest one introduced is called
Student-Athlete Day. This pro-
gram is designed to help out local
high school students interested in
playing sports at the collegiate
level. In this program a local high
school student will follow around
a college student of the same sport
for the day. He or she will follow
them to classes and then practice.

This will give the high school stu-
dent a look into his future college
life.

The SAC committee at Clarion
is headed up by lour executive
board members. President Jesse
Shirey of the wrestling team, vice
president is Tab Musser of the
football team. Tab is also the state
representative for Clarion
University along with Tamica
Washington of the Clarion
women's basketball team. Other
exec board members include sec-
retary Melissa Yearous and trea-
surer Kristie Runk.

The other 13 state schools of
Pennsylvania also have student
athletic committees. CurrenUy all
14 schools are working together in
producing more programs for the
student-athlete to help in.

Ali, setting up the competition

by J.R Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

The Clarion women's volley-
ball team has had an up and
down season to this point. They
lost their captain Jess Canfield
to an injury causing her to miss
the season. But in these lough
times talent is starting to be
shown.

One such talent is in the form
of Ah Graham. Ali Graham is a
sophomore from Plum Boro,
which is near Pittsburgh. She
has been playing volleyball for
the past seven years. She cur-
rently leads the lady Golden
Eagles in assists. She also had
an outstanding performance
against Bowie State in the
Clarion Classic. In that game
she had an amazing 33 assists
and 1 1 digs in a winning effort.
This is quite remarkable
because she is not playing her
natural position. Her natural
position is outside hitter and
currently she is a setter.

"I would say right now we
don't have an unsung hero but
what Ali is doing is remarkable

because she is learning a whole
new position," said first year
head coach Pennewill.

Ali is very humble though, she
mentions one of her best games
was their first conference win.

"I feel our best win this season
has been at Slippery Rock,
where we won our first confer-
ence game, said Ali.

Ali along with the rest of the
team woik very hard. Once the
team comes back from winter
break they will start up for the
spring season. The team also
powerlifts three days a week for
conditioning purposes.

As for the rest of the season
Ali is optimistic. "I would like
to finish the season over five
hundred and win our final con-
ference games."

The NBA is back and better than ever

by Ben Stentz
§ ...CJarion £■! Staff Writer

The 1999-2000 National
Basketball Association begins
regular season play November 2.
Pay close attention, because as
has become the trend, this off-
season was full of player move-
ment that included a number of
marquee players changing mail-
ing addresses.

With that said, it is safe to say
that the San Antonio Spurs head
into this campaign as the favorite
to repeat as world champions.
Until someone can prove that
they can stop the best player in
the league, that being center Tun
Duncan, the road to the title still
goes through San Antonio.

San Antonio will feature
Duncan, David Robinson and
floor general Avery Johnson. The
addition of veteran Terry Porter in
the back court and untapped
potential of Samaki Walker on the
front line gives the Spurs plenty
of weapons to work with.

Among the many challengers in
the West, the Houston Rockets
and the Phoenix Suns will be the
toughest. The Rockets , minus
Scottie Pippen, will be a better
team. Sending Pippen packing
brought Houston Walt Williams,
and trading Othella Harrington
and Michael Dickerson to
Vancouver landed jet-quick Steve
Francis. Free agent signee
Shandon Anderson and Francis
will give the Rockets the athleti-
cism that has been lacking since
the back-to-back title years of
1994-1995. Hakeem Olajuwon
and Charles Barkley are both still
capable of being great players on
any given night.

Phoenix returns the strong
nucleus of Jason Kidd, Rex
Chapman and Tom Gugliotta to
suit up with new teammate Penny
Hardaway. The versatility of
Kidd and Hardaway will benefit
the Suns entire offensive scheme.
The Kidd-Hardaway combination
will be the most entertaining and
talented duo in the NBA.

Among the other challengers in
the Western Conference are Utah,
the Los Angeles Lakers, Portland,
and Minnesota. Utah loses Jeff
Hornacek but adds possibly the
best scoring guard in the entire
1999 NBA draft in Quincy Lewis.
The return of Karl Malone and
John Stockton and the addition of
veteran forward Olden Polynice
give Utah an edge in terms of
team experience and leadership.
The Lakers, as has been the case
for several years, could have the
most talented roster in the league.
An underachieving group led by
Shaquille O'Neal, the Lakers will
begin their quest for the NBA title
under new head coach Phil
Jackson. Expect to see major
improvements ( including O'Neal
sitting out late in games if he can
not improve his foul shooting)
this year, but the installation of
the new triangle offense will take
time. Bet on the Lakers to be the
best in 2001.

The Minnesota Timberwolves
drafted Wally Szczerbiak and
William Avery in the draft. The
Timberwolves return sensational
forward Kevin Garnett, Joe
Smith, Terrell Brandon and added
Dennis Scott via free agency.
Avery will need time to adjust to
the NBA game but watch for
Szczerbiak to fit right in and
make Minnesota a contender.
The Portland Trailblazer added
Scottie Pippen, Steve Smith and
Detlef Schremp. This terrific trio
will be complemented by Brian
Grant, Arvydius Sabonis, and
Rasheed Wallace. The big ques-
tion will be the play of Damon
Stoudamire at the lead guard
position. Portland will go as far
as Stoudamire can take them.

If you like to look for a "sleep-
er" team that could be the surprise
of the league as Sacramento was
last year, here are a few hints. If
Othella Harrington can play as he
did last season with the Rockerts,
he and the Vancouver Grizzlies
could be the surprise of the
league. Sharif Abdur-Rahim can
score with the best and is very

versatile. If Mike Bibby and
Felipe Lopez continue to
improve, so will the Grizzlies. As
for the biggest disappointments in
the Western Conference, look no
further than the Seattle
Supersonics. Yes, they do have
Gary Payton; but they do not have
much else, and Vin Baker doesn't
scare many people outside of the
American East Conference. Look
for the Western Conference to be
exciting with anyone able to win
the crown.

CU Tennis finishes
sixth at PSAC's

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

The Clarion women's tennis
team traveled this past week-
end to Hershey, PA to compete
in the PS AC Championships at
Hershey Racquet Club. The
tournament was hosted by West
Chester University.

Clarion had produced a 5-4
record going into PSAC's.
Which had included a two
match winning streak to get
themselves above five hun-
dred. At PSAC's, Clarion
ended up finishing 6th in the
two day competition in
Hershey. Clarion finished with
a total of 9 points. Millersville
and Bloomsburg both tied for
the championship with 31
points. In third was

Shippensburg with 18 points,
in fourth was Slippery Rock
with 13 points, next was West
Chester with 10 points.
Clarion was in sixth with nine
points. Clarion beat the teams
of IUP, Kutztown, Edinboro,
California, East Strousbourg
and Cheyney.

Clarion was led by Erin Glatz
a freshman from North Hills in
Pittsburgh. She advanced to
the semifinals in singles com-
petition and in doubles she also
reached the semis. Erin who
was named PS AC player of the
week earlier on in the year has
been a solid player all fall sea-
son. She finished with an 8-4

record in singles competition
this year. Her doubles partner
Cara Bobish also did well in
singles making it to the second
flight semifinals. Cara fin-
ished the season with an 8-4
record also. As for a doubles
connection on the year Bobish
and Glatz were two of the best
in the PSAc. the freshamn tan-
dom compiled a 9-3 doubles
record. Other successful sto-
ries of the two-day tournament
were Brooke Vukich who won
a singles match and advanced
to the quarterfinals in singles
before losing. Brooke com-
piled a 5-8 record ont he fall
season. She ended up winning
three out of her last four
matches.

"I thought this team had a
chance to make it to the finals.
They have had such a good
season. I can only expect them
to do better next year. Since
the whole team is freshman I
have high hopes for the team
next year," said second year
head coach Lori Berk Sabatore.

The Clarion women will be
back in the spring with a
semester under there belt. The
spring season includes the
team championships the second
weekend of April. But as for
this season a 5-4 record and a
team of all freshman the
Clarion tennis team should be
proud of themselves.

State System and APSCUF come to settlement

by Susan Ferchalk
C jarion Call Staff Writer ^

APSCUF and the State System of
Higher Education reached a tenta-
tive agreement on a three-year con-
tract after negotiating all of last
Wednesday.

The tentative agreement, which
was reached after months of negoti-
ations, will affect around 5,500 pro-
fessors at the 14 state schools. The
agreement will be retroactive to July
1, 1999 and will run through June
30, 2002. For it to take effect, both
sides must ratify the contract. There
is a closed informational meeting
for all union members Wednesday,
October 27 at 5 p.m. Union mem-
bers will then vote on the ratifica-

tion on November 1 5 and 1 6 and the
results of this vote will be
announced on November 1 8. A date
for the Board of Governor's vote
has not been established. However,
it is very possible that the special
meeting, in which the vote will
occur, will take place on November
19 or at the latest November 23.

The new contract includes
changes in the major issues that
were plaguing the negotiation
process. First, faculty salaries will
increase by a greater percentage
throughout the duration of the con-
tract. For the current school year,
there will be a three percent pay
increase. For the 2000-2001 school
year, there will be a two percent pay
increase in the fall and one percent

increase in the spring. For the 2001 -
2002 school year, there will be a two
percent increase in the fall and 1 .5
percent increase in the spring.

The amount of money in the
Health and Welfare Fund will
increase, also. Currently, the
amount available to each full-time
faculty member is $1,090.50 each
year. Under the new contract, the
rate will be $ 1 , 1 7 1 .50 for the 1 999-
2000 school year, $1 ,271 .50 for the
2000-2001 school year, and
$1 ,271 .50 for the 2001 -2002 school
year. Contributions to the fund will
be made on a monthly basis starting
in July.

Temporary faculty members will
now receive tenure status granted
they have worked for five consecu-

tive years at the university and the
department has approved the posi-
tion through a vote. In addition,
each department will decide if a
full-time faculty position is required
for courses that have been taught by
temporary faculty for eight consec-
utive semester. The recommenda-
tion will then be sent to the presi-
dent of the university for final
approval.

In the case of intellectual property,
the university may only claim inter-
est when it provides substantial sup-
port financially or when it allows a
use of facilities. Also in the way of
intellectual property, faculty will
now receive a higher percentage of
the revenues created. Faculty mem-
bers will receive 60 percent of all

revenues until the support provided
by the university has been refunded.
Afterward, the faculty member will
receive 70 percent.

Both sides seem satisfied with the
newly proposed contract. "We are
pleased we were able to reach the
agreement before a stoppage of
work, which would have a negative
effect on students. Both sides
worked hard for that. No none
wanted a strike to happen," said
Kenn Marshall of the State System.

tative agreement, or to read it for

Conference promotes 'greater sense of community'

by Leslie Suhr

Clarion Call

Managing^Editor

About 1 50 representatives from
the 14 State System of Higher
Education universities attended a
two-day conference to promote "a
greater sense of community"
among ethnic and racially diverse
groups within the System.

The conference was held at
Lock Haven University of PA on
October 20 and 21, 1999. The
conference, titled "Building
Community: Strategies for
Strengthening Race Relations at
the State System of Higher
Education Universities," was co-
sponsored by the office of the
Chancellor and the federal Office
for Civil Rights.

The purpose of the conference
was to encourage a proactive
approach at achieving diverse
communities within the system

universities and promoting atti-
tudes that extend beyond toler-
ance to the valuing of an ethnic
and racially diverse college com-
munity.

The conference consisted of
morning and afternoon sessions
as well as a panel discussion on
the delicate balance between the
individual's right to freedom of
speech and protection from
harassment. The discussion
included how universities were
responding to situations where
free speech and protection from
harassment conflict.

Clarion University has imple-
mented many programs at Clarion
which enhance the cultural aware-
ness of students at different levels.

The Building Bridges Program
was designed to have students
work as moderators to lead dis-
cussions among students. The
topics that students wish to speak

about are selected by the individ-
ual group. For instance, someone
in a group may want to speak
about interracial relationships.
Another person may have a prob-
lem with a partner that their friend
may be dating.

The moderators are supposed to
lead discussions in a private, yet
thought provoking manner. They
help others bring about feelings
and find ways for the students to
vent their feelings with other
members of a group.

The Office of Minority Student
Services at Clarion has many pro-
grams which cater to the needs of
minority students in providing
equal opportunities and aware-
ness for them. The purpose is to
provide equity within the campus
and provide tolerance among the
rest of the campus.

On the second day of the con-
ference were designed to inspire

programs to continue the imple-
mentation of the State System's
Excellence and Equity plan.

Speakers for the session includ-
ed; Mary Beth Curry, a graduate
student in Communication from
Clarion University; Mr. Jonathan
Alger, legal counsel for the
American Association of
University Professors; Jerome
Hutson from the Office of Multi-
Cultural Affairs at West Chester
University; and Patricia Hopson-
Shelton from the Office of Social
Equity at Millersville University.
Curry participated in a panel
discussion on the First
Amendment. She represented the
collegiate media. The discussion
centered around harassment, and
how something being offensive
didn't mean it was harassing.

Curry, former Editor-in-Chief
of the Clarion Call, reflected on
several pieces which she had to

choose whether to run or not.

"Once we received a letter to the
Editor gay bashing, after National
Coming Out day, and we ran it in
the Call," Curry said. Curry also
went over personal experiences
she had the effects on the Call, the
University, and the community. It
is all part of allowing people to
use the First Amendment and let-
ters like this service as this type of
forum.

Speakers during the second ses-
sions spoke on effective programs
that were designed to improve the
working relationship between
academic and student affairs.
Presenters were Rogers Laugand
from the Office of Minority
Student Services from Clarion
University; Diane Jefferson from

Long awaited rec center opening
successful in students' eyes

At last. For months and months students have put up
with the hassle and noise of construction, surrounding
the opening of the rec center. And, now months later, it
finally opens.

The rec center is bigger than we thought and it caters
to the needs of ALL the university students. The center
is open to to all students who show their student I.D.
This is also prevents just anyone from walking into the
facility.

The weekday hours are great - 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
However, the weekend hours could be expanded a lit-
tle to fit to the needs of everyone.

This also provides a chance for students to have hold
jobs.

The intramurals program also has the opportunity to
expand. This is a great asset to the program and allows
more students to get involved.

The rec center also has an indoor track. Finally,
somewhere to run other than the hallways of Tippin
Gymnasium.

Finally, and most importantly, the rec center has a
large mix for everyone. Ping pong, weight lifting, free
style machines, a track, basketball courts and meeting
rooms. Something for everyone.

Health plan would be good for students

One in six Americans tides health insurance. That's 44 mil-
hon people, including yixir friends and neighbors.

If that number doesn't frighten you, how about this race
"Those more likely to lack health insurance continue to
include young adults in the 18 to 24-year old age group, peo-
ple with lower levels of education, people of Hispanic origin,
those who work part time and people bom in another coun-
try." That's aeconjing to Jennifer Campbell the author of a
Census report released last week.

lughteen to 24-year olds that's college-age people. We're
among the least likely to have health insurance. This issue
affects all of us directly, since most Americans are -only one
serious disease away from the poverty line. Americans who
aren't insured literally can't afford to get side

The American health care system is badly broken.
Acccfdingtol^yskiansftiraNatkiial Health Plan, more than
100,000 Americans lose their health insurance every month.
Even many of those who are insured can' t get the care they
need Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) actually
pn)\i(fcfimiKialinLientivesf()rdcxlors to offer less care.
This Is a national disgrace. That it's happening in the richest
country on Earth is obscene. Health care in this country

shouldn't be a privilege only the very richest can afford; it
should be the birthright of every citizen.

That's the way it is in every other industrialized nation in the
world And itcan be that way in the United States as welL The
answer Is a single payer national health care system.

Yes, the cost of health aire would be "socialized" under this
type of plan, in much the same way that paries, police and
schools are "socialized" paid for by public funds for the bene-
fit of all Americans. And furthennore, the cost of health care
in the United Stales would actually go down under a single
payer plan

Under the anient U.S. health care system, 30-35 percent of
all health care costs goes toward bureaucratic red tape, like
administrative costs, billing and marketing and profits for
insurance companies. Between 30 and 35 cents of every dol-
lar spent on health care just goes to pay for administrative
costs.

It's long past time for the federal government to institute a
national health care system based on the single payer model
Health care for people, not profits there's a slogan all of us,
especially college students, can rally around

"If you are looking for a
different, and definitely
richer, dessert to wake

from pumpkin, try
pumpkin cheesecake"

Sally Dolan

Pumpkin and Proud of it.

Warm, Indian Summer days and
crisp, cool nights erase the ves-
tiges of summer and predict the
impending winter. September
lapses into October, and the last of
the season's abundant harvest is
gathered from the browning
fields.

The aging farm wagons creak
under the weight of wooden bas-
kets and crates heaped with ripe
red tomatoes, golden ears of com
and red and green peppers. The
skins of white and red potatoes
are contrasted by the gourds of
green, yellow and orange.

Among the largest of these
gourds is the humble, but lovable
pumpkin. They can grow to over
one hundred pounds. Children
paint faces on the surface or carve
toothy grins and playful eyes into
their meaty pulps for Halloween.

The kids cut them up and trash
them at Halloween. But pump-
kins are also good for eating too.
Think of that luscious pumpkin
pie Mom puts on the table at
Thanksgiving.

Fresh pumpkin tastes the best in
recipes, but it is messy and time-
consuming to prepare and if you
simply don't want to be bothered
buy it in a can. Delicious pies for
Thanksgiving dinner can come
from Libby's-in-a-can.

If you are looking for a differenL
and definitely richer, dessert to
make from pumpkin, try pumpkin
cheesecake. It, like the pie, can be
made from fresh or canned pump-
kin. Our recipe is adapted from
one published in the 1979 paper-
back Garden Way's Zucchini
Cookbook by Nancy C. Ralston
and Marynor Jordan.

I found it by happy accident
when I was leafing through a sis-
ter-in-law's cookbook. At first, it
didn't sound appetizing. Then it
started to intrigue me. My family
loves pumpkin pie, and cheese-
cake is an all-time favorite so,
why not try it?

My husband and son took a very
dim view of what I was about to
do to them. Pumpkin cheesecake
didn't sound very good to them at
first, either, but when the aroma
started coming from the oven,
their attitudes changed and they
were willing to give it a try. It's a
little difficult to wait to see if
something that smells that good
tastes as good, but according to
my family, the wait is worth it.

Here is the recipe. Choose
canned or fresh (quick or mess)
pumpkin. Check with your local
farm or supermarket for the best
variety if you are using fresh.

"Expressing myself
through art has been

a passion that has

helped me develop as

anadulL'"

Greg Brewer, Advertising Design

I believe in fate. Take me
for example. My father is a
draftsman, and my grandfather
was an architect so I don't
know if the skill of drawing is
in my blood, but fortunately I
was blessed with the gift as
well.

I was a quiet kid in school so
I grew up drawing to express
myself. It was my way of
being noticed. I was bored
and unchallenged in school. I
always saw improvement with
everything I drew or painted.
My English and history note-
books became filled with
sketches, and I'd find myself
tracing objects with my finger,
drawing interesting subjects in
my mind.

So why did I choose math as
my major when I started col-
lege? It was a combination of
factors. When I started here at
Clarion four years ago, the
Graphic Design program of
our art department wasn't as
big as it is now. But mainly,
math was one of the areas in
high school where I excelled.
It wasn't until the middle of
my Junior year that fate set in,

and I realized I should study
something that I will enjoy
doing for the rest of my life.

Expressing myself through
art has been a passion that has
helped me develop as an adult.
I often transform objects until
they become almost recogniz-
able. It's a way of seeing
something in a new light and
challenging myself to expand
my process of creative expres-
sion. By setting high goals
and standards for myself I've
been improving my work and
myself. I really love doing
designs and illustrations on
computers. It feels very com-
fortable to me. My work is on
display right now in Marwick
Boyd for my concentration
review. So if your in the area
stop by and take a look. I'll
be having a senior show in the
Sanford Gallery next semes-
ter.

All my life I've known deep
down that what I really love is
art. Now that the field of
graphic design and illustration
is taking off, everything seems
to be falling right into place.

OPINION

Pied Piper brings joy to
campus

Dear Editor,

With all the stresses from Early Registration and the strike threat, I
needed a relaxing and enlightening experience. I certainly got such an
experience on Friday morning when I was coming into Stevens Hall
and I heard the bag pipes. I sat for a few minutes and watched the
piper walk through the lovely carpet of autumn leaves and listened to
the bag pipes. I went into work feeling much lighter and refreshed. I
truly hope that this will be a regular part of my Friday mornings. This
was simply marvelous.
Sincerely,
Suzanne P-Jobb

Pumpkinl Hide Park , from Page 3.

To prepare fresh pumpkin: wash it in cool water, cut
out a circular hole in the top, scoop out the seeds and
pulp, and cut the pumpkin into one-inch slices. Put
the slices in a medium-sized sauce pan and add just
enough cold water to cover.

Put a lid on it and cook over a low heat, stirring
occasionally, until soft.

Remove from the heat, pour into a sieve to drain
and cool thoroughly.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. While it is warm-
ing, prepare a graham cracker crust. Mix the sugar
and cracker crumbs.

Pour the melted butter into the crumbs and stir until
it has a com meal consistency. Dump the crumbs
into the springform pan. Press with a fork until it is
evenly distributed and firmly packed.

Set the pan aside and use a large bowl to mix the
pumpkin filling.

Blend the packages of softened cream cheese until
smooth. Add the sugars and mix until light and
fluffy. Stir in the beaten eggs. Mix well.

Add the cooled pumpkin (or a 28 ounce can of
Libby's solid packed canned pumpkin). Stir until
well mixed. Add the cinnamon, ground ginger,
ground cloves and the vanilla and almond extracts.
Pour the batter over the graham cracker crust and
bake for ninety minutes, or until a toothpick comes
out clean when inserted into the middle. Turn the
oven off and leave the cheesecake in it for an hour to
finish setting up.

Remove the cake from the oven and put it on a rack
to finish cooling. Release and remove the springform
ring. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.

Serves 12.

No one at our house cares if there is any whipped

cream. The cake stands alone and doesn't really need

anything extra. From the first sign of the springform

pan until the last crumb is gone, this cheesecake will

be the center of attention.

Comments heard in Advanced Media Writing ranged

from "Wow! This is really great," to

"This is excellent," to "Well, I don't want to eat all of

your cheesecake, but yeah, I'll have another piece.

University during the spring of
1998 found either job placement
or pursued higher education lev-
els. The 98 percent figure is iden-
tical to that of a 1996-1997 gradu-
ate survey.

Pennsylvania was the location of
employment for most graduates.

Among the 370 graduates saying
that they were working full-time
or part-time, 70 percent were
employed in Pennsylvania. The
state ranking second for employ-
ment among 1997-1998 graduates
was Maryland, followed by
Virginia, North Carolina, and
Ohio.

Connie Laughlin, director of
Career Services, whose office
conducts and complies the infor-
mation for its annual report, said
she was pleased with the figures
that reflect post graduation activi-
ties of Clarion graduates.

Four hundred and forty-five of
the 1,074 graduates responded to
the survey. Seventy-five of the
respondents are employed full-
time, and another 12 percent were
enrolled in further education.

Many of the responses in the
survey showed increases from the
1996-1997 totals. Seventy-five
percent of graduates were
employed full-time compared to
74 percent in 1995-1996. Sixty-
four percent were employed full-

time in career fields of their
choice, compared to 62 percent
the previous year.

The 295 graduates who were
employed full-time also showed a
salary range for their employment.
Sixty-four percent of those
employed full-time fell between
die $20,000-34,999 salary range.
Another 28 percent reported
salaries ranging from $35,000 to
over $50,000.

At the Venango Campus, there
were 94 degrees conferred. Forty-
one percent of these individuals
responded to a survey and 90 per-
cent of those graduates could be
placed in categories including fur-
ther education. Over 51 percent,
down from 65 percent in 1996-

It is very important
for our students to take
advantage of our ser-
vices to ensure progress
toward their career
goals. 99

-Connie Laughlin

1997, were employed full-time in
a career of their choice.

"We hope our annual report is
used with students," said
Laughlin. "All departments
receive a copy and we urge them
to share it with their students. It
shows the entry level and
advanced positions achieved by
our graduates, the employers hir-
ing them, and the salaries they are
receiving. In addition, the infor-
mation can be used by a perspec-
tive college student and his or her
parents in making educational and
career decisions.

The Council of Trustees, admin-
istration, the admissions office,
and other agencies who request
data on post graduation activities
receive the book as well. The
report enables Clarion
University's Career Services to
share information with the faculty
and administrators who advise
both prospective and current stu-
dents. It also presents information
on the career paths of Clarion
University alumni for students
who seek to relate academic qual-
ifications to career prospects.

Clarion University Career
Services offers a variety of ser-
vices to students in preparation for
graduation.

Other services include: on-cam-
pus interviews, resume critiquing
services, job hot line listings, class
presentations, mock interviews,
job fairs, a career library, a
Professional Development Series,
and internships and summer
employment information.

"It is very important for our stu-
dents to take advantage of our ser-
vices to ensure progress toward
their career goals," said Laughlin.
It is equally important for them to
use their college experience to
develop the qualifications
employers want.

Doing well academically, partic-
ipating in campus and community
activities, and taking on leader-
ship roles is important. So is
some kind of experience in the
field through a co-op, field train-
ing or internship.

Over 200 people participate in Career services job fair last week

by Kristy Mort
Clarion Call Staff Writer

"How will our company bene-
fit from hiring you?," this is just
one of the questions that some
Clarion University students had
the opportunity to answer at last
week's Job Fair.

The Job Fair, which was held
on October 21, at the Gemmell
Student Center, featured around
thirty-two employers from local

and national companies. Some
of the companies featured were
the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), Kmart, and
Office Depot.

Penny Farmery, Career
Services assistant director said,
"This job fair is an outstanding
opportunity for our graduating
seniors. Career Services is excit-
ed to offer such an event to the
Clarion Campus community."
Business management major,

John Shavulsky was very excited
to see such companies represent-
ed. "I thought it was an excel-
lent program that gave me a
chance to network with employ-
ers from all areas. I also had the
opportunity to interview with a
company for a possible summer
internship," said Shavulsky.
Like Shavulsky, many other stu-
dents had the chance to visit and
consult with these companies
with hopes of landing an inter-

view later in that evening.

"I was pleased with the event's
success, but there are still some
things that need to be worked
on," said Jason Rhoades, Career
Services intern.

Although the program was suc-
cessful, Rhoades feels that some
things could be added to make
next year's event an even bigger
success.

One way that they plan to add
to future job fairs is by involving

more employers from all over.
However, this may become diffi-
cult because of other factors.

"We are excited to see that
almost 200 students participated
in the event, we hope that the
numbers keep growing," said
Rhoades.

The job fair is another example
of how Clarion University is
advancing academic excellence
and shaping professional careers
for its students.

Second annual storytelling festival scheduled

by Dr. William Buchanan

Clarion Call
^ Contributing Writer

Clarion University's second
annual two-day festival of multi-
cultural storytelling will begin
Friday, November 5, at 7 p.m.,
with a free storytelling concert in
the University's Hart Chapel, fea-
turing three of the nation's top sto-
ryteller's: Carmen Arga Deedy,
Connie Regan-Blake, and Marcia
Bowers.

Titled "Accent on Culture: The
Storyteller's Script," the story-
telling festival will continue
through November 6, with a con-
ference during which the featured
storytellers will discuss the art and
function of storytelling. They
will also demonstrate their story-
telling techniques in small group
sessions.

A frequent performer on both
PBS and NPR, Deedy is the author
of several award-winning books,
including The Library Dragon.

Deedy has appeared on
Broadway in a dramatized version
of her book, Growing up in
Decatur, Georgia and has been a
guest performer at the Folger
Shakespeare Library in
Washington D.C. Many of
Deedy's stories grow out of her
native Cuban culture.

Regan-Blake is well-known
throughout the nation for bringing
Appalachian culture to dramatic
life in her stories which she has
told at festivals, on NPR, and on
PBS.

For several years she and her
cousin, also a storyteller, starred in
a two-woman story based show
titled "Mountain Sweet Talk."

Regan-Blake is a founder of the
National Storytellers Association,
which annually sponsors the
famous Jonesboro Storytelling
Festival in the mountains of east-
ern Tennessee.

Bowers is both a certified
Motional Processing Therapist as
a storyteller and utilizes story-
telling as a form of entertainment,
cultural communication, and ther-
apy.

She incorporates various cultur-
al traditions, including Irish, into
her storytelling and utilizes dul-
cimer music as well.

"The sponsors of the conference
all have various interests in story-

telling, ranging from librarianship,
to education, to communication,"
said Andrea Miller, Assistant
Professor of Library Science.

"It is our goal to foster increased
awareness of the value of story-
telling in the family as well as in
the community institutions-the
church, the schools, higher educa-
tion, etc.

"Storytelling is a remarkable
tool for entertaining, educating,
and passing culture and tradition
along to the next generation," said
Miller. "Jesus certainly recog-

grams a "A Prairie Home
Companion."

Miller said that the free Friday
night concert offers the communi-
ty the opportunity to see story-
telling at its finest.

The conference on the following
day offers participants the oppor-
tunity to learn more about the art
and craft of storytelling through
interacting with the storytellers in
small group sessions.

The Friday night performance is
free on a first come first serve
basis. Registration for the

performers will be available for
purchase and signing by the per-
formers.

For additional information, con-
tact Buchanan at 814-226-2271 or

Steven Banachek goes 'mental'

story courtesy of
University Relations

Mentalist Steven Banachek per-
formed last night at Clarion
University in the Gemmell Multi-
purpose room.

Banachek employs all facets of
"E.S.R" with unique comedy to
captivate audiences wherever he
performs. Walking in the footsteps
of renowned mentalist Joseph
Dunninger and Israeli psychic Uri
(idler, he performs feats of telepa-
thy, clairivoyance, precognition,
derma optics, and hypnotism. He
makes no claims about his psychic
abilities.

His stage show is a captivating

medley of all of the above. He
bends spoons just by looking at
them. He lets audience members
stab him with paper knives moving
only when the guy with the real
knife takes a whack at him. He
asks someone to write a word on a
napkin then rip it up. The word
they have chosen is written on their
napkin inside an envelop he has
taped to the side of the stage and
never touched. He notes the time
then asks someone to cover the face
of their watch with their hand.
"What time would you like for it to
be?" he asks. When they select
their new time and uncover their
watch the hands have changed.
Banachek was bom Steven Shaw

in England, moved to South Africa
at age nine, then on to Australia and
the U.S. by age 16. By 1977, he
was holding down three jobs, sup-
porting his brothers and trying to
finish high school. He started per-
forming Kreskin-like illusions at
parties for extra money.

In 1979, McDonnell-Douglas
Aircraft awarded a $500,000 grant
to Washington University in St.
Louis for the establishment of the
McDonnell Laboratory for
Psychical Research. The lab was
supposed to come up with evidence
that things like bending a fork with
your thoughts was a real thing.

James Randi was an internation-
ally known magician and an active

investigator of paranormal claims.
He decided to send two young illu-
sionists into the MacLab to debunk
it. Banachek, then known as
Steven Shaw was one of the illu-
sionists.

For three years Steven was sub-
jected to every test the pros could
come up with to prove he had
authentic psychic powers. He
passed every test successfully and

at the end of the three-year period
the MacDonnell Laboratory for
Psychical Research proudly
announced to the scientific com-
munity that they had the real thing
in Steven Shaw.

Then, James Randi dropped his
bomb that Steven 'Banachek* Shaw
had been working for him the past
three years and everything he did
was an illusion.

Live's new disc sounds 'dead'

by Keith B. Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifotyjes Editor

You know, Live has a serious U2
complex. In turn, U2 has a serious God
complex. Rahaps the only difference is
that one is partly justified. AUIhaveto
say is that live singer Ed Kowaiczyk is
no Bono, and their new disc, The
Distance To Here, is no Joshua Tree.

In The DistanceJs defense, it is an
improvement over 1997's dismal
Secret Samadhi, a record full of lofty,
self-indulgent, and murky sludge. But,
it also fails to capture the pure emotion
and unfiltered rock passion of their pre-
vious two records, Throwing Copper
mlMentalJewelry.

When opening up the lyric booktetfor
The Distance..., you are greeted by the
sight of...no, wait, it can't be..JEd
Kowaiczyk smiling?! Could this be the
same person who sang about mothers
dying during childbirth ("lightning
Crashes") and depraved sexual lust
("Lakini's Juice")? Live's musk has
always been overtly spiritual, but The
Distance... is steeped in it, and screams
"80s arena rock! T with every tune.

Trouble is, Kowaiczyk hasn't written
a consistent album since 1994, and for
all of his Bible-thumping in The

Distance..., God has certainly not
smiled upon him. The majority of the
songs sound like the same basic three-
or-four chord progressions, with
would-be soul scraping lyrics. And,
I'm sorry, but throwing in an occasion-
al exotic instrument, such as the harpsi-
chord interlude on 'The Distance",
does not make for deep musicianship.
live isn't "Selling The Drama" any-

more; just boredom. I can't even label
it as selling out, since the music is com-
pletely devoid of memorable melodies
or substantial hooks.

On the whole, it's more consistent
than Secret Samadhi, which was down-
right unlistenable in portions. But it
lacks any standout tracks that even
Samadhi had ('Turn My Head"). The
only two songs off of The Distance...
that leave any mark after the record has
ended is the first single, "The Dolphin's

Happy
Halloween!

Cry", and "Sun." "Dolphin's" is a good
song, to be sure, but is filled with reli-
gious sentiments rendered secular by
Kowalczyk's bland delivery. His voice
will never reach the searing and holy
heights that Bono's can, and the same
goes for the guitars. The album lacks
any sort of "Edge" (pun intended). Sun
suffers similar afflictions. They've
done this before, and better.

Kowalczyk's lyrics are incredibly
inconsistent, to boot He starts the
album off with two tent-revivals for
songs, but then throws a Judas-like
curve ball with "Where Fishes Go".
Containing lines that tell how God
stood him up "like a dime-store hook-
er," 'Fishes" manages to debunk the
healthy spiritual glow that is the
album's only saving grace.

Dave Barry's war on smoking

by Dave Barry

. Syndicated Columnist

There is big news in the War
on Smoking. The U.S. Justice
Department has filed a lawsuit
against the cigarette industry,
boldly charging that the indus-
try was lying - and KNEW it
was lying - when it claimed that
it never had sexual relations
with Monica Lewinski.

Whoops! Wrong lie! The
Justice Department is charging
that for many years, the tobacco
industry, on purpose, did not tell
people that cigarettes were bad
for them. To cite just one bla-
tant example, on numerous doc-
umented occasions during the
1950s and 1960s, R.J. Reynolds
deliberately failed to run an
advertising campaign using the
slogan: "Winston Tastes Good,
AND Gives You Lung Cancer!"
As a result of this type of
clever deception, the Justice
Department contends, smokers
did not realize that cigarettes
were hazardous. This is
undoubtedly true of a certain
type of smoker; namely, the
type of smoker whose brain has
been removed with a melon
scoop. Everybody else has
known for decades that ciga-
rettes are unhealthy. I have
known many smokers, and I
have never heard one say: "You
know why I stick these unnatur-
al wads of chemically processed
tobacco into my mouth, set them
on fire and suck hot gases deep
into my lungs? Because I sin-
cerely believe it poses no health
risk!"

When I first experimented
with cigarettes, as a young teen-
ager in the early '60s, I knew
they were unhealthy, because
my dad, a heavy smoker,
warned me of the dangers.
"Son," he told me many times,
"Hack hack hack

haarrwwwGGGHHHHKK
(spit)." But I tried cigarettes

anyway, because, like all teen-
agers, I expected to live a mini-
mum of 50,000 years, and I fig-
ured it was no big deal if I
knocked a few centuries off the
end. I thought that smoking
would make me look older and
more attractive to women - that
I'd fire up an unfiltered Camel
and, boom, I'd
sprout mus-
cles and vast
quantities of
body hair.
Unfortunately,
this did not
happen,
although I did
manage,
through per-
sistence and
hard work, to
develop a cig-
arette habit
that enabled

me to spend the next 15 years
smelling like a low-grade dump
fire.

Eventually, I realized I had to
kick my habit. This was before
the development of nicotine
patches, so I had to devise some
other way to get my nicotine
"fix" while I was quitting. The
method I came up with was:
cheating. So I continued to
smoke cigarettes for several
years after I quit. Then I finally
got desperate and really did
quit, using the "cold turkey"
method, which gets its name
from the fact that it is no more
difficult than inserting a frozen
20-pound Butterball completely
into your left nostril.

My point is that, when I
smoked, I knew it was
unhealthy, and so did every
smoker I ever knew.
Nevertheless, the Justice
Department believes that we
smokers were victimized by the
tobacco industry, and so, on
behalf of the federal govern-
ment, it has filed a huge lawsuit
against the industry.

Whoops! Wrong again! In
fact, the Justice Department is
suing the tobacco industry for
$20 billion. Needless to say, the
tobacco industry would obtain
this money by selling more cig-
arettes. In fact, the sale of ciga-
rettes is the financial heart and
soul of the War on Smoking.

Cigarette
compa-
nies are
already
selling
cigarettes
like crazy
to pay for
the $206
billion
a n t i -
tobacco
settle-
ment
won by
t h e
states, which are distributing the
money as follows: (1) Legal
fees; (2) Money for attorneys;
(3) A whole bunch of new pro-
grams that have absolutely
nothing to do with helping
smokers stop smoking; and (4)
Payments to law firms.

Of course, not all the anti-
tobacco settlement is being
spent this way. A lot of it also
goes to lawyers. And some
money is actually being spent

on educational campaigns that
nag teen-agers about smoking.
As you would imagine if you
have ever nagged a teen-ager,
these campaigns are highly
effective, provided that we
define "effective" as "not effec-
tive." In fact, according to a
University of Michigan study
that I am not making up, the
percentage of high-school
seniors who smoke cigarettes
has actually INCREASED in the
past five years. This is hearten-
ing news, because it means that
as older smokers die off, there
will be fresh blood to support
the War On Smoking.

The only danger I see looming
ahead is that the tobacco indus-
try will get tired of serving as
the bag person for the anti-
smoking effort and actually quit
selling cigarettes. In that case,
the only way to keep the anti-
tobacco money flowing in
would be for the various gov-
ernments to join forces with the
legal community and sell ciga-
rettes directly to the public out
of post offices. This would be
similar to the way we've tackled
the gambling problem in this
country, which is to have the
states run massive lottery opera-
tions. It makes perfect sense to
me! Of course, I have a turkey
up my nose.

'Tango' is
out of step

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

October 28, 1999

The Clarion Call

Page 13

For the sake of Matthew Perry's career,
I really hops that 'Friends' is renewed for
many mere seasons to come. Although
he's a funny and likable actor, Rary does-
n't have much of a knack for picking
movie scripts, as evidenced by his latest
misfire, Three To Tango'. If director
Damon Sanostefeno had substituted a
few Trends' characters here and there,
the film could have easily been tided The
OrieWhereEvervt]neThirfcCharidlerIs
Gay.'

m Tango', Rary plays Oscar, a strug-
gling young architect who's trying to land
a major contract for Charles, a self-cen-
tered billionaire (Dylan McDermott).
Oscar and Iris partner (Giver Piatt, expe-
riencing a bad hair day of epic propor-
tions) are counting on this deal to keep
tl^srrdlerarcriitectuialfirmanoaL But
a series of misunderstandings leads
Charles to believe that Oscar is gay, kick-
ing the film's moronic hijinks into full
geat

Rr some reason, Charles decides thai
Otearwculdbetheper&ctguytokeepan
eye on Chades' fiee-spiriled mistress,
Amy (Neve Campbell). Charles is wor-
ried that one of Amy's many ex-
boyfriends is going to try and steal her
away firm him. So Charles tells Oscar
that it would be in his best interest if he
made sure she staved faithful to her bil-
lionaire lover Soon, everyone in town
thinks that Oscar is gay, including Amy,
much to his chagrin

You can probably guess the rest from
there. Boy meets girl Boy befriends giri
when she thinks he's a homosexual. Girt
convinces boy to savor life. Girl makes
dramatic "don't ever lie to me" speech.
Boy prolongs movie by refusing to tell girt
that first, he's straight, and second, her
boyfriend is a jerk. Girl finds out thai buy
Bed to her after all, after which she gives a
heartfelt and stupid '1 told you never to lie
tome" speech. Boyistacedwithadifli-
cult decision when he's naned the city's
gay professional of the year.

I've always hated fikns where conflicts
could be resolved if the lead character
would just scrape up the nerve to say one
bote sentence. If Oscar had found the guts
to say Tm not gay," Three To Tango'
would have been over shortly after the
half-hourmark

Three To Tango' is a dkiie-ridden exer-
cise in mediocrity. This is one Tango'
that's worth sitting out

Fono is fantastic

by Jeff Chaffee

Clarion Call

Assistant Lifestyles Editor

It's a hard time to be a modem rocker.
With stuff ("stuff' is just about the nicest
ward far most of it..) like Limp BLddt,
Kid Rock and whatever boy band is hot
this week clogging most of the top forty,
it's hard fir a small indie rocker to make
much ot an impact, outside of the circles
of indie rocker fans or heads of college
radio modem rock programs.

Enter Fono. Although a tad heavy on
the "you" theme - God, how many times
can a guy write about the special "you" in
his life? - Goes Around Comes Around
revisits the days of early alternative rock,
right after that whole grunge thing. Its
sound is that of the Posies, mixed with just
a little hi iu metal-tinged licks. Asuitable
sensitive, but still rockin' good time.
G4C4 is that tape you keep in your car,
even though your friends just don't get it

Heavy on guitar chords, but still with a
great deal of planned-out on±estration,
GACA speaks to the age of three friends
hangin' in one of their basements, clinking
some beer, and writing stuff to see how it
sounds, something pre-fab boy groups
and massive rapcore outfits can't really
compare with to the same degree.
The current state of rock may be in ques-
tion, even perhaps in jeopardy, but as long
as bands like Fono exist, hope isn't lost
Rock's future is dependent on its undis-
covered skle.the bands who 'know
someone that knows a guy that works for
this big promoter," and give everything
they can every time, just in case that pro-
moter guy is out m the crowd

Kudos to Fono fir the great work on
Goes Around Comes Around - a full five
stars for this debutafcumfromaband with
much talent and a blight future.

TEST NOW, REST LATER

Grad school or job search? Arc you struggling with this decision? It's an important choice, with lots of pros and cons. More school
may open more career doors, but it will also cost you another couple of years of your precious youth and more tuition checks.

Whether to pursue a graduate degree or not is a very difficult decision. Here's an easier one: take the test now. Most graduate school
applications require test results for the appropriate entrance exam. The GMAT for business school, the LSAT for law school, and so
on. If you recall how much fun the SAT test was. you know what you're in for.

Considering the generally unpleasant process of taking standardized tests, you may decide to slap the tests until youte absolutely
sure that you'll need them. This strategy may backfire. Let's say you decide against getting an MBA for now. deciding instead to
accept an offer at Seventh National Bank. After nine months at Seventh you realize that you really don't have much interest in
banking, so to speak. The MBA route sounds better.

The good new is that you can change your mind and go to grad school.
The oad new is that you'll have to face the GMAT. Taking a standardized test
when you've been out of school for even a year or so may produce lower
results than if you take it as a senior. Rusty test taking skills and a years
worth of forgetting what you learned in college may drag down your test
score. On the other hand, as a senior your study and test-taking skills are
well developed. Plus, studying diligently for a grad test when you're
working full time may be pretty low on your want-to-do list.

if there's any possibility of grad school in your future,
spending the time andtest Tee now may save you

A look ahead

The Golden Eagles football
team will travel to West Chester
this Saturday. Game time is 1:30
p.m. West Chester is 4-3 overall,
but leads the PSAC East with a 4-
Omark.

WCU is coming off a 40-35
home win against Millersville.
West Chester is averaging 30.7
points per game, and ranks in the
middle of the PSAC in all key
team statistical categories.

West Chester is led onto the
field by senior QB Mike Mitros.
Mitros has gone 150/247 (60.7%),
1925 yards, 14 TDs, 9 LNTs pass-
ing this season. He threw for
3939 yards and 5 TDs in the win
over Millersville.

His favorite target is WR Kevin
Ingram, also a senior, who leads
the PSAC with 56 catches, mak-
ing 743 yards and 9 TDs. Last
season Ingram set a PSAC single-
game record against Clarion,
notching 401 yards. He also set a
single-season record in 1998,
catching 115 passes.

"It's no secret as to what they
want to do," Clarion coach Malen
Lukesaid. "They're going to try
to get Ingram the ball deep down
the middle."

Clarion's answer to WCU's
attack will be defense. LB Brett
Wiley leads the PSAC with 20
tackles behind the line of scrim-
mage. He is second in tackles
with 87.

Clarion freshman QB Adam
Almashy threw 46 passes in the
26-0 loss to IUP last weekend.
Senior QB Jeff Cappa's recovery
continues. He played sparingly at
wideout against IUP, catching two
passes for nine yards. There is a
chance that you can see Jeff
Cappa back starting at QB if he
feels healthy enough to throw.
Roosevelt Benjamin is still a
game time decision. He leads the
Eagles in interceptions with four.
He is also an all around defensive
talent who is key to their success.

Clarion's Golden Diver

by Gena Stearns
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Kurt Angle made Clarion
University proud when he brought
home the gold medal from the
1996 Summer Olympics. Now
that we have a girl who earned
four All- American titles in the
past two years on our diving team,
we may have the chance to see
another Golden Eagle compete in
the next Summer Games.

Stephanie Sutton did not start
out as a diver. She joined the
Northern Virginia Swimming
League when she was five years
old under the instruction of Mike
Cook. A year later, she entered
her first swimming competition
where she placed first in three
events: freestyle, backstroke, and
butterfly. Although she continued
to compete in swim meets
throughout high school, some-
thing else caught her attention.

When she was 8, Stephanie took
an interest in diving. She entered
her first diving competition after a
year of training. At her first meet,
she hit the diving board with her
chin and sliced it open. Despite
the accident, she earned fourth

place in the Northern Virginia
competition. Her mother tried to
convince her to stop diving, but
Stephanie was determined to over
come her accident. She told to her
mother, I am not a quitter. I'm
going to succeed in this.

Stephanie continued to work
hard over the next couple of years.
Her coach, Ann Dane, recognized
a talent in Stephanie that set her
apart from the rest of the divers.
Ann invited Bill York, a United
States diving coach, to watch
Stephanie compete. By the time
she was eleven, she was asked to
join the United States diving pro-
gram. Through this program, peo-
ple of all ages can compete at any
level. The United States Olympic
Team is selected through this
organization.

Later, Stephanie joined her high
school diving team. She then
went on to win the District,
Regional and State Titles, which
are the highest for a high school
student to win. Bill York referred
Stephanie to the diving coaches at
Clarion University.

7 on 7 Fraternity Football

by Josiah Jones

This semester the Inter
Fraternal Council (IFC) has set
up a 7 on 7 flag football league
for the fraternities on the Clarion
campus.

The flag football rules are dif-
ferent than regular flag football
rules. IFC made the games only
twenty minutes long. A second
rule they implemented was that
the offense has only 10 seconds
to get each play off. This will
keep the game at a quick speed.
A third rule which is different
from regular flag football rules
,is that an interception is worth
two points. This is a real reason
why the games to this point have

been low scoring.

The season began three weeks
ago and the fraternities are split
up into two divisions. The
Alpha division is led by Sigma
Chi at 3-0, next is Sigma Pi at 2-

1 . Phi Sigma Kappa is third at 1-

2. and fourth is Theta Chi at 0-

3. The Omega division is led by
Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Tau
Gamma both tied with 2-0
records. Alpha Chi Rho is next
at 2-1 ,and Kappa Delta Rho and
Theta Xi are looking for their
first wins. Kappa Delta Rho is
0-2 and Theta Xi is currently 0-
3.

This weeks games are at the
practice field beside the football
field at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.

America's past time, football

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Snorts Editor

It's that time again, its late
October and the World Series is
upon us and the football season
is heating up. Then the talk
begins of how great baseball is
and how it is still America's
favorite past time. Wait a sec-
ond!

Don't get me wrong baseball is
a great sport to play and watch.
But Americans don't feed off
baseball like they used to. Two
summers ago the homerun race
ignited a fire for baseball but it
didn't move the sport past foot-
ball.

Every weekend in the fall is
football fans dream. Friday
night around the country are
filled with high school football
games. Then on Saturdays col-
lege football takes over America
with its great games and surpris-
ing finishes. Then don't forget
about Sunday's when the NFL
fills up your screen with six
hours of football coverage not to
mention the two hours of
pregame. Monday nights
haven't been the same for the
past twenty five years because
of Monday Night Football,
which continues to be a top
watched program on Monday
nights. People just can't get
enough football. It's in there
blood.

People love to see a fast paced,

hard hitting three hour game that
comes down to the last seconds.
Not to mention every game in
football is very important. In
college football one loss elimi-
nates you from the chance to
play for the NCAA title. The
NFL season only has 16 games
per season. With such few
games every game is scrutinized
and taken seriously. Is baseball
like that?

Now baseball, on the other
hand, is the complete opposite
of what Americans are looking
for in a sporting event. It is
slow paced, somewhat boring at
times, and games on average are
over three hours not to mention
the playoffs and World Series
lasting well over four hours
sometimes. Oh by the way, in
baseball there is a 162 games
every year. Maybe some games
are pivotal ,but no where near do
there games carry the same
intensity as football.

Baseball is a great game but it
is no longer what Americans
thrive for in sports, the time is
now for football. Times have
changed from slow to fast pace
in everyday life. It is now start-
ing to change in the sports
world. Americans won't admit
it but football is a better overall
game than baseball. It's better
to watch in person and better to
watch on T.V. That is just plain
and simply the bottom line.

The NBA East has at least six to seven teams able to challenge for the title

by Ben Stentz
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Eastern Conference has a
number of teams that are good
enough to survive a mediocre, yet
rugged conference. Miami is the
early favorite to make it to the
NBA finals but their playoff histo-
ry is proof that there are no guar-
antees. Alonzo Mourning is com-
ing off his best season as a profes-
sional and Tim Hardaway is still a
dangerous scoring threat for the
Heat, who plucked Hm James

CUP Basketball preview

by Ben Stentz
Clarion Call Staff Writer

With the 1999-2000 college basket-
ball season eight around the corner, it
is time to take a sneak peak at the
Clarion University men's team.
Clarion is coming off a 19-8 campaign
that brought a 14-game winning
streak as well as a national ranking
that peaked at thirteenth.

The loss of five seniors will be the
major challenge for head coach, Ron
Righter. The five seniors are Lormont
Sharp, a second team All-American,
all conference performer Marvin
Wells, defensive leader Brad Wright,
Angelo Anderson and James Ford.

Who will replace the nearly 50
points per game that was lost through
the five seniors? Clarion will be hard
pressed to find a true scoring threat
equal to Sharp and will likely have to
rely on a trio of players to fill the scor-
ing void. Junior college transfer Tarnir
Harbin will be forced into the role of
point producer along with fellow
transfer Chris Kelly. Neither Kelly or
Harbin is the true jump shooter that
Sharp was out bom are more than able
to create scoring opportunities for
themselves as well as for others.
Sophomore Dave Shearer averaged
just under ten points per game as a true
freshman last season on his way to
earning PSAC western division
Rookie of the Year Honors. Shearer
will need to boost his average to assist
in the scoring.

Do the Golden Eagles have enough
size to compete in the physical PSAC
West? To compete with western divi-
sion heavy weights such as Indiana,
California, and Edinboro, the Golden

Eagles will need one of two big men
. to progress quickly. Ben Meese will
see action early and has the proper
frame to bang with the big boys. At
6'8", Meese will have to be a part of
the action early while fellow freshman
forward Mark Starkey recovers from
arthroscopic knee surgery. Shearer
brings the intensity and smarts needed
to defend the low post but he will
always be at a height disadvantage
against the bigger teams. Senior Mike
Wetzel brings the experience of being
in the PSAC West wars and that is
something that will prove to be valu-
able. Red-shirt freshman Steve
Neismith is a bit undersized but is as
strong as a bull. If Neismith can har-
ness his energy and enthusiasm, he
could be a key member of the front
line.

Who will "run the show"? The
departure of starting point guard R.C.
Keboe leaves a gaping hole at the lead
guard position. Sophomore Aaron
Epps could become the starter if he
can become a more vocal floor gener-
al and provide more consistent play
than he did a year ago. Cleveland
native Roilie Smith will challenge
Epps for minutes at the point as a true
freshman but the one thing that Epps
and Smith lack is considerable college
experience. The return of senior Bill
Lindsey could prove to be huge for
Clarion. Lindsey sat out last season
after playing in 1997-1998.

Can Tamir Harbin live up to expec-
tations? Anyone who says that there
are not high expectations for Harbin is
lying to you. Since his arrival in
August of 1998, the countdown has
been running until he takes the floor.

Harbin transferred to Clarion from
Hagerstown Junior College and had to
sit out last season under NCAA regu-
lations. Harbin teased the coaching
staff last year as a practice player by
showing occasional flashes of bril-
liance. The key to how successful
Harbin will be lies in his shot selec-
tion. At his best, Harbin slashes to the
basket scoring with ease and making
his teammates better, at his worst he
relies on the perimeter jump shot and
becomes one-dimensional. The bot-
tom line is that Harbin is the best ath-
lete on the Clarion University campus.

Clarion will once again be in a dog
fight for one of the four playoff berths.
Look for California , Indiana, and
Edinboro to be there with the Golden
Eagles. The new personnel could take
a month or so to find their groove but
Clarion has too much talent to lose a
playoff spot to Slippery Rock, Lock
Haven or Shippensburg.

Head Coach Righter is the best at
preparing his team in the pre-season
and it always shows with strong per-
formances out of die gate. The loss of
top assistant Mike Power and gradu-
ate assistant Justin English leaves new
assistant Al Modrejewski with the
challenge of advance scouting Clarion
opponents. Power, who left Clarion to
become a head coach at East
Stroudsburg, did masterful job at
preparing Clarion for every opponent.
This is a huge key to the success of the
team Clarion is 61-22 over the last
three seasons. The addition of Harbin
and Kelly to a solid group of returning
players should help Clarion return to
the playoffs for the fourth consecutive
year.

aspect of his medium. He feels
his strengths are dialogue and
character development. Anyone
who has seen his films can agree.
In his own words, he crafts films
about "a bunch of people sitting
around talking about their sex
lives." Smith concurred with one
person's comment that 'Dogma'
was epic compared to his previous
work, with its religious subject
matter. It's a departure he says he
won't make again for a while.

Smith explained why there was
such a huge postponement of
'Dogma': controversy. With it's
tale of two fallen angels trying to
get back into heaven through a
loophole in church policy, the film
contains many offbeat commen-
taries on Christianity, particularly
Cathlocism. These were consid-
ered offensive by some, especially
the right-wing Christian League.
For this reason, he had extreme
trouble finding a distributor for
'Dogma,' filmed primarily in
Pittsburgh and New Jersey.

Smith defended 'Dogma' by-
saying it's really an affirmation of
faith; and a reflection of his
Catholic upbringing. "Only athe-
ists should be offended by it," the
director said. "Besides, how seri-
ously can you take a movie that
has a rubber poop monster in it?"

Another popular topic was his
ejection from the now-languishing
'Superman Lives' project. The
movie, which would have starred
Nicholas Cage, was scripted by
Smith, who was kicked off of the
project when director Tim Burton
decided the story didn't fit his
vision. Burton himself is no
longer affiliated with the film.

Undeniably, though, the high-
light of the evening was Smith's
revelations about his previous
projects. He entered the film busi-

ness in 1994 with the small,
award-winning film 'Clerks,'
which is this generation's cult
classic. 'Clerks' was made
because he and a college friend
had a contest to see who could get
the most credit cards (Smith
acquired 12).

Smith said that the biggest
enjoyment in his life now is his
wife, whom he married this year,
and his child. "It's nice to be ful-
filled on both ends," he said.

Future projects for the director
are unclear. "One thing I know I
don't want to do is a 'John Hughes
career trajectory.' If I start mak-

ing all my films for first-graders,
then just f***in kill me," Smith
joked. He did disappoint many
fans by saying that the popular
comic duo of Jay and Silent Bob
(whom he plays) will only appear
in one more movie. "They've run
their course," he said. "It's time
to move on."

One project that caused a lot of
excitement was his announcement
that there will be a 'Clerks' car-
toon show for ABC early next
year. He lamented dealing with a
more strict set of rules for network
TV. "One scene we had to cut had

MTV Invasion doesn't mean you
have to run away.

UAB has worked hard to bring the students of
Clarion University a concert. Garbage and Lit
combined with the MTV Campus Invasion Tour
should have made the concert a sellout, just to CU
students. But, again, it didn't.

It's sort of pathetic that students don't take advan-
tage of the opportunities provided to them. Eight
dollars for two big names right here on campus.
It's a heck of a lot better than paying $30 to travel
to Pittsburgh or Erie to see the same concert. The
bands that UAB have brought in this year are two
of the biggest names in recent memory, and
students still complain.

It's pretty sad that of the tickets sold to date 3/4
of them were sold to non-Clarion students,
including local residents and students from IUP or
Slippery Rock who recognized that this was a great
opportunity.

And, what else do people have to do Sunday
nights? Stay at Clarion for just one weekend and
find out that there really are things to do.

What does it take to get students interested? It's
been publicized and promoted, locally and on
MTV. You could be on the next Real World. (Or
at least experience the whole effect). But, still no
effect.

But, the year that UAB announces that they will
no longer bring in concerts, students would be
irate, right?

It's really just quite sad.

Your Views

Campus Transportation questions

Dear Editor,

The Transportation Advisory Board recently
approached Student Senate about raising the student
activity fee by $5 for the purpose of implementing a
bus system on campus and into the community. This
would mean that students would be able to ride the
bus for free as long as they show Clarion I.D. The
Board plans to have it in operation by next year.

Last year, Student Senate's Appropriation
Committee had a very difficult time allocating funds
during the budgeting process. Every year new orga-
nizations are approved for funding and will continue
to increase. We also had to renew contracts for the
larger organizations as well. Additionally, uncom-
mon to other state schools, we partially fund our
Athletics Program, and we fund our student newspa-
per and University Activities Board which comprise

nearly 50 percent of the activity fee budget. From
there, Monies need to be converted into the supple-
mental accounts for unforeseen expenditures the fol-
lowing year. That leaves limited Monies for use to
various organizations.

While we agree that the transportation program
would be of great benefit to the students, we also feel
the need to have an increase in the activity fee for the
funding of campus organizations. Appropriations
and Senate realize the increase of tuition and fees
every year is a burden on all students. However, in
order for your organizations to continue to see
increases in your yearly allocated budgets, an
increase seems necessary. Without this, we will be
unable to guarantee increases.

If a $10 increase is passed and approved by Senate

and Dr. Reinhard, Senate will ONLY be seeing $5 out

'The good is when you

find heroism in sports;

the bad is when one$

sports persona is used for

selfishgain.

Bill Adams

"The Power of Kindness"

It was nearly one year ago when
I attended a symposium at the
University of Notre Dame. The
topic of the seminar was, "The
Influence of TV Sports
Broadcasting on Modern Day
Society." It was hosted by Dick
Enberg, a three-time Broadcaster
of the Year, and sports analyst Pat
Hayden.

I sat in the front row of the
small, intimate auditorium astute-
ly listening to Enberg's comments
regarding college athletics, acade-
mia, and television sports.
Enberg himself was a former pro-
fessor who credited a solid educa-
tion for his advantage over others
in the field. He stated, "the cam-
era represents the classroom (the
viewers), and asking Pat
(Hayden) a question is like writ-
ing on the blackboard."

I could not resist interjecting
into the symposium that I remem-
bered an analogy Mr. Enberg
made during a Sunday football
telecast. He was doing the tele-
cast shortly after the earthquake
rattled San Francisco and halted
the World Series. Referring to a
man who was rescued after being
buried three days under the rubble
of a collapsed, two-tiered high-
way, Enberg eloquently stated,
"We often use the term 'miracle'

too loosely in sports broadcasting,
but what those rescue workers and
firemen did today in San
Francisco truly was a miracle."

Mr. Enberg thanked me and
related my remark to a portion of
the symposium. According to
Enberg, sports has always been
entertaining, but sometimes with
sports comes the good and bad.
The good is when you find hero-
ism in sports; the bad is when
one's sports persona is used for
selfish gain. Enberg commented,
"sports should be regarded as just
entertainment, otherwise one may
lose other more important lessons
in life."

Enberg then embellished those
thoughts. He said, "unfortunately,
TV sports may bring out the worst
of some things in our society."
Enberg alluded to what John
Wooden, former head basketball
coach at UCLA, calls the 4 me-
ism' behavior of the athlete.
According to Enberg, television
sports, primarily the television
close-up, may be responsible for
that selfish attitude. He calls it the
"look-at-me-attitude" when self-
ishness rules over the team con-
cept. Enberg states, "the televi-
sion close-up and the availability
of thirty cameras may be respon-

to pass that class in your major,
somehow coming up with enough
money to pay the bills and still go
out and have a life, the never-
ending confusion that relation-
ships provide, and using what
you gained here to find a decent
first job.

Those are a lot of tough things
to have to juggle when you com-
pare it to animal crackers! But I
guess those are just some of the
situations our parents were hint-
ing to us about when they were
talking about "the real world" out
there. And by the sounds of it, it
just keeps getting more "real".
Just add getting married, some
children, a career which you may
or may not like, finances, and
anything else you can think of
and you can see how quickly the

picture can complicate itself!

So, believe it or not, these
stressful, confusing, busy college
years probably are the best years
of our lives. I know sometimes
we'd never believe it, but I bet
it's true. I look back on the last
three years of my life here at
Clarion, and they were pretty
entertaining in just about every
aspect. Sure, I had my share of
stress and pressure, bad moods,
and getting plain jacked! But
overall, the fun and good memo-
ries outweigh the bad by far.

What is hard to believe is how
fast your college career flies by. I
graduate in May, and it seems
like I just got here. So freshmen:
Don't wish your four (or five...)
years here away; they'll do that
without your help. OK, then
you're out of here. Free at last!
Then what do you do? I can think
of what you probably won't do. I
bet you won't be sleeping in till
11:00 or noon every day, won't
be up till two or three in the
morning drinking, won't be leav-
ing a week's worth of dirty,
crusty dishes in the sink, and you
probably won't be skipping work

like you did Poli Sci. (And if you do this , I wonder how long your
employer will be enjoying your presence at work before he decides it
would be much easier and much more fun to can your lazy butt.)

The point is, " the real world" you heard your parents and teachers
speak of is very real. It's out there, and we are all approaching it at
astronomical speeds we don't eve realize. This is my fourth (and last)
year studying accounting at Clarion. After that, I will be shifting my
schooling to Mortuary Science (Funeral Service Management ) at
Pittsburgh. This is something I've really wanted to pursue for a long
time and for many reasons (many of which people have a tough time
understanding.) I understand that, because not everyone you meet wants
to be a funeral director. Even my girlfriend,, at first thought the whole
idea seemed strange, but she is doing a good job of learning about, and
adjusting to it, and I'm happy about that. I think we would be in big
trouble if everyone had the same goal in life.

I am so glad that I was able to go to a four-year college, especially
Clarion, before I start Mortuary School. I feel like I would have missed
out on a lot of experiences and adventures that have really helped pre-
pare me for this 'real world' waiting out there. I look forward to finish-
ing up my last year here at Clarion, and starting funeral school in
Pittsburgh. I hope that you all have a great time here at Clarion and real-
ly learn form what it can teach you, especially out of the classroom!
College is an awesome experience where you begin to see some of the
serious and real issues coming up for you in the near future. Just forget
about the animal cracker stuff in life, and you'll do fine.

sible for the negative image many at home may have regarding the sports
analyst, refers to the time after a player makes a basket as too much "glow-
time" (again the television close-up).

Enberg pointed out there is a philosophy that to be journalistic there has
to be investigation. He said, "some believe that there is no digging, there is
no journalism." In his opinion, the balance has swung too far for bad news,
and finding good news or heroism in sports make him feel good.

One may not know that Dick Enberg has won nine Emmy awards, three
of which were for his writing. As the symposium was drawing to a close,
he concluded with a heartwarming story in classic Enberg style. With a pas-
sionate glow he tells of his interest in thoroughbred racing (which he covers
for NBC, The Breeders Cup) and the day he walked through the stable of top
trainer D. Wayne Lucas. Inscribed on a plaque in the Lucas bam are 12
tenets of training a thoroughbred. Enberg noticed that inscribed as number
one was, "The Power of Kindness." Enberg said, "D. Wayne Lucas told me
the essence of a great thoroughbred lies in its heart." Enberg smiled and
winked to the small symposium crowd, "just think if it works for the animal
species, what it could do among the human species." He elaborated, "Just
think how powerful it would be if we exercised this, The Power of Kindness,
ourselves, and used just two words, 'thank you' each day, what a difference
we could make." Enberg concluded, "God created this beautiful animal, and
if it works for a horse, what could it do for us?"
As the ovation echoed through the intimate auditorium, Dick Enberg raised

his right hand, graciously smiled and,

The internship trap

For the right price, you, too, can have a terrific internship.

Sound peculiar? At Emerson College, it's called the "internship trap." The prob-
lem boils down to this: Students are taking interred as if they were classes and
essentially are paying for the work they do.

Here's how the trap often works: The college requires students in some majors
tohavetohaveanmtemsliipuiKfcrhisorherbelt toeamadegree. Manycom-
panies for which the student get college credit for his or her work, otherwise the
student won't be hired. And the college will not give credit for the internship
unless that credit is paid for — usually in the form of tuition— by the student

At Fjrierson, that means students typ^ Theyeither

give up one of their classes in a semester to make way for an internship or they
try to take a full load and squeeze in internship on top of it all — provided they
meet the academic standards required to overload their schedule.

The second route is particularly troublesome because, at Emerson, students inay
take up to 16 credits (the equivalent of four classes) under the college's annual
tuition rate of $18,816. For each credit above 16, students must pay an addition-
al $588.

Needless to say, many students would rather spend that extra tuition money on

classes — not jobs.

It is a backward policy, considering most people receive pay for labor —not
labor for pay. Many students would gladly take internships voluntarily just to get
some work experience. Some internships even offer a little pay for hardwork.

So it isn't that a student's tuition pays for an outside-of-school, semester-long
job that students might have arranged on their own without the colltje's assis-
tance.

On the other hand, internships often provide valuable experience for students
seeking hands-on experience in their chosen field. Though we've heard the hor-
ror stories of coffee-fetching interns, we've also heard rave reviews from students
offered jobs at the places where they first interned

So, what's the solution?

Well, at Emerson, students can earn up to four non-tuition credits for participat-
ing in campus organizations. Unfortunately, the college won't allow those non-
tuition credits to be awarded for out-of-school mlernships, and ttatrxiicy should

change.

As wonderful as it would be to ask the college to give more non-tuition credits
to cover students' internships, it is an unrealistic request But thinking of ways for
students to avoid sacrificing classroom time for job time is a worthy and reason-
able request of any institution of higher education.

Dean search prompts forums

by Dr. Sylvia Stalker
Clarion Call

Contributing Writer

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••■••••

Public forums to meet the three
candidates for Dean of Libraries
at Clarion University have been
scheduled throughout November,
according to Dr. William
Buchanan, Associate Professor of
Library Science and chair of the
search committee for Dean of
Libraries.

"We have three excellent candi-
dates, each of whom would bring
particular strengths and styles to
deanship," said Buchanan. "Since
the library is a central academic
support unit which impacts all
areas of university life, it is vitally
important that all sectors of the
university community be present-
ed in the decision making
process."

Buchanan noted that public
forums are the mechanism the
search committee has designed to
ensure university-wide input in
the process.

Each candidate will be on cam-
pus for two days of interviewing,
during which time they will meet
with various individuals and
groups throughout the university
community.

On the first day of the scheduled
visits, each candidate will be fea-
tured in an open forum on the
Clarion campus from 3 p.m. to 4
p.m. On the second day of the
visit, there will be an open forum
on the Venango campus from 9:45
am. to 10:15 a.m. All Venango

forum presentations will be held
in 208 Frame Building.

Each forum session will begin
with a brief statement by the can-
didate in which he or she articu-
lates a vision for the Clarion
University libraries and discusses
his or her philosophy of the role of
the library in the university com-
munity. Following the presenta-
tion, members of the university
community-students, faculty,
staff, and administrators-will be
invited to ask questions of the
candidate.

Each attendee will be asked to
fill out a form evaluating the can-
didate. Each form will be
reviewed by the search committee
as it develops its final recommen-
dations for the president's review.

"The role of the search commit-
tee," said Buchanan, "is to devel-
op a list of not more than three
candidates, listing their strengths
and weaknesses. This will be sub-
mitted to the president who will
use the report as a basis for nam-
ing a new dean of libraries."

In calling for university-wide
input in the search process,
President Diane Reinhard said
that "the search for an administra-
tor with institution-wide authority
and responsibility is a critically
important event in the life of a
university."

Reinhard praised the progress
the university libraries have made
under the leadership of Dr.
Rashelle Karp and Deon
Knickerbocker, and cautioned that
the new dean must be a person

who can "carry forward with the
innovative work that Dr. Karp and
Ms. Knickerbocker have begun."

"The person selected to fill this
position will be making decisions
and articulating visions that
impact the entire university, from
the president to the incoming
freshmen," said Reinhard.

"I hope that each person in the
university will consider that the
process underway is important
enough to participate in through
hearing the candidates and
responding to their presentations
with a written evaluation,"
Reinhard said.

The candidates and the
dates for their Clarion
presentation sites are:

Provost corrects
scheduling problems

by Kristie Linden
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Dr. Joseph Grunenwald, interim
Provost and Vice President of
Academic Affairs, met with
Student Senate Monday, to apolo-
gize for and explain the delay in
correcting scheduling problems.

Additional sections of courses
are being added and class sizes are
being increased to accommodate
students mat are still searching for
classes.

Sections in math, education,
english, art, physical science,
business, and music opened up
Tuesday, November 2. Dr.
Grunenwald and his office are try-
ing to accommodate all students
and their needs.

Senate Treasurer Brian Sow«
made three motions for the alloca-
tion of funds in the appropriation
report

A motion was made to allocate
53,250 from the Capital Account
to the Black Student Union (BSU)
for the purchase of a computer,
pending the approval of Dr.
Reinhard. BSU Representative
Mario Anderson, said that the
computer is needed and will help
to make the organization run more
efficiently. The motion was tabled
by Parliamentarian Mike

Mangeri, after a lengthy discus-
sion. The rewording of the motion
and a finalization of the amount to
be allocated will be discussed at
next week's Senate meeting.

The second motion was passed
to allocate $6,935 from the
Capital Account, to Student
Senate for the purchase of a new
copier, pending the approval of
Dr. Diane Reinhard. Treasurer
Sowa said the life expectancy of
the copier was approximately
125,000 copies and the copier cur-
rently has more than 220,000
copies.

A third motion was passed to
allocate $423 from the Capital
Account, to Student Senate for the
purchase of a new printer, pending
the approval of Dr. Reinhard. The
printer that Senate currently has is
unable to be repaired.

During the appropriations report
Treasurer Sowa read the account
balances. There is $28,329.53 in
- Supplemental Reserve
Account, $19,300.51 in the
Supplemental Account,

$124,219.13 in the Capital
Account, and $208,975.33 in the
Large Item Capital Account.

Treasurer Sowa opened discus-
sion regarding a possibilty of rais-
ing the student activity fee by $10.
If raised, $5 of that money would
go to the university for a new
transportation system that is cur-
rently being developed. The
remaining $5 would be used for
allocations for funded organiza-
tions during the budgeting
process.

The next Student Senate meeting
will be on Monday, November 8,
at 7:30 p.m. in 246 Gemmell.

Women discuss concerns at weekly meeting

by Sue Kaschak
. < !?!?F. i ?. n . i??. 1 ! .?££ XKJSf. .

Every Wednesday at 3:15 p.m.
in 148 Egbert Hall, a group of
women gather and talk about any
and all concerns that they may
have.

Some of the topics that are dis-
cussed are relationships concern-
ing significant others, friends,

family or any other relationships.
They also talk about self-esteem
concerns and personal identity
problems.

There is not a set topic for any
of the meetings because the group
members decide what they want
to talk about.

"It is a good place to share and
be open without being judged,"

says Dr. Mary Ann Fricko, one of
the two group leaders. Ms.
Valerie Smith is the second group
leader.

Depending on the demand, the
group does not necessarily meet
every semester. For the most part,
the group has been meeting for
approximately 10 years and mem-
bership usually ranges from three

to twelve women.

Ficko and Smith are willing to
start a men's support group, how-
ever, there is not a men's group
right now, because there has never
been enough guys interested. If
there is an interest for one, they
will arrange a men's group.

This semester's support group is
still open to new members. "If

anyone is interested, contact
myself (Dr. Mary Ann Fricko) or
Ms. Valerie Smith at 226-2255, or
stop by 148 Egbet Hall before the
meetings. Anyone who is inter-
ested should be aware there is a
screening process to go through
that goes over the basic rules.
Everything that is said in the
group is confidential."

Though Connie Regan-Blake
will be making her first trip to
Clarion this weekend to partici-
pate in Clarion University's sec-
ond annual storytelling festival,
she is no stranger to Pennsylvania.
"Indeed I'm not," said Regan-
Blake in her soft mountain accent.
"Ever since I teamed up with
Mike Reid, I've been making reg-
ular appearances in
Pennsylvania."

If the name Mike Reid sounds
familiar, it's with good reason. He
had a successful collegiate foot-
ball career with Penn State before
turning to pro and playing tackle
for the Cincinnati Bengals. Since
his days on the gridiron, he's
turned to composing, netting two
Grammy Awards along the way.

One of his most successful musi-
cal ventures in recent years was
"Tales of Appalachia," a chamber
piece built around Regan-Blake's

telling of "The Cantankerous
Blacksmith," a traditional
Southern Appalachian folktale.

"We premiered the piece at Penn
State in 1995, and since then I've
made many return dips to your
beautiful state," said Regan-

Courtsey of Dr. William Buchanan
Blake.

Though she will not be perform-
ing to music when she comes to
Clarion, Regan-Blake will be
telling many of the stories that
inspired "Tales of Appalachia,"

From the opening song to
the last tune of the night,

picked jokingly by the band
members, but it eventually
stuck.

Currently, the band plays
with members Ryan, Jay,
John Hutchinson, "Hutch",
and Matt Black. The band is
currently working on a col-
lection of songs for their
first CD that is planned to
be out by Christmas.

individual influences also
play a large part in deter-
mining how the style of the
band is projected to its audi-
ence.

12 Year Old Boy was orig-
inally formed in 1997 with
original band members Ryan
Hayes, Jay Lulos, Tim
Krupar, and Jim Boroi. The
name of the band came
about because of a student
who was in the cafeteria
looked so young that the
group comically referred to
him as that "Twelve Year
Old Boy". After that, it
came time to select a name

is definitely something for
everyone. It's a mix of rock
and roll, punk, as well as
the songs that have been
written by the band. The

band also gets the crowd on
their feet with popular cover
songs including artists like
John Mellencamp,

Metallica, U2, Fuel, Third
Eye Blind, and Pearl Jam.

The CD, which will be
titled, Versus the World, has
an array of original songs
written by Hayes. These
songs include "Face to
Faith," "Untie," and
"Bruises." These songs are
a reflection of things that
have happened to the mem-
bers of the band in everyday
life.

The strong point of the CD
is that it emphasizes the
originality and pride of the
group and the lyrics express
the meaning of the band's
ideas.

"This is real music. It is
a chance for us to vent. It's
not he same old stuff on the
radio. It's actual real
music," said Hayes.

Drummer Matt Black says
the band has been experi-
menting with the style of the
music and various levels
with different types of
music.

"The best thing I love to
do is be in the same situa-
tion with three other guys
who love to do the same
thing as me. It's a great
feeling to have a live per-
formance and feed off of
everybody's energy. It's a
big adrenaline rush to per-
form live," said Black.

When asked why he liked
to perform, guitarist Jay
Lulos said, "I like music.
It's just that simple."

The band wants to contin-
ue with the same structure,
but is moving to a hard edge
style. The band hopes to go
as far as possible, especially

The warning signs of cow-dung abuse

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist

You parents out there should be
aware that the young people have
invented yet another alarming
trend. I frankly wonder why we,
as a society, even allow young
people, in as much as all they ever
seem to do is think up trends that
we do not approve of, such as sar-
casm, tattoos, and referring to pio-
neering rock-music geniuses of
the '60s "old" just because they
are dead or in comas.

I found out about the latest
alarming youth trend thanks to
several alert readers who sent me
an article from the Straits Tunes of
Singapore. This article, which I
am not making up (Trademark),
begins as follows:

"TAIPEI - Some young
Malaysians are sniffing cow dung
to get high, according to a law-
maker. 'They look for fresh cow

dung and, on locating it, put a
large tin can over it, pierce a hole
at the top and sniff through it,'
Perak state assemblyman Mat Isa
Ismail said on Saturday. He said
that this was becoming a trend."

Did you hear that, parents?
Young people are sniffing cow
dung, and it is becoming a trend.

Perhaps you are saying to your-
self: "What do I care what goes on
in Malaysia? I'm an American! I
don't even know where Malaysia
IS, nor do I care, unless there's a
mall there."

You pathetic fool. Do not be
casually dismissing Malaysia just
because it is a foreign country
located abroad. Today we live in a
"global village," which means that
if young people on one part of the
planet come up with a stupid idea,
they can communicate it to all the
other young people in the world
instantly via the Internet, or "rap"

music, or wearing their baseball
caps at a certain angle. Believe
me, your children know what's
going on in Malaysia, which is
considered by young Americans to
be a very "happening" place. In

fact, when modern American
youths wish to express generic
approval, they often use the slang

expression, "Whoa, that is so
Malaysian."

So do not be one of those hope-
lessly naive parents who go
around saying, "My little
Courtney would NEVER sniff
cow dung!" Instead, watch your
child closely for The Five
Warning Signs of Cow-Dung
Abuse:

1. Your child constantly pesters
you to drive him or her to a farm
so that he or she can "do some
chores."

2. When you go to the super-
market, your child asks you to
bring back 1,600 pounds of hay.

3. At night, you hear loud moo-
ing sounds, which turn out, upon
investigation, to be your husband
using the bathroom.

4. But then, when you look in

your child's bedroom, you find: a
cow. When you demand an expla-
nation, your child says, "Oh, that
belongs to Stacey."

5. And your child does not know
any "Stacey."

In addition to watching for warn-
ing signs, you must "keep the lines
of communication open" between
yourself and your child. Make a
point of taking interest in the
things your child is interested in
so that you can develop a rapport,
as we see in this dialogue:

FATHER: What's this music
you're listening to, son?

SON: It's a band called "Limp
Bizkit," Dad.

FATHER: They suck.
I always made a point of com-
municating with my son as he was
growing up, and it has really paid
off. Now that he's away at col-
lege, he often calls me up when he
needs advice or counsel on an
important matter.

"Dad," he'll say, "I have to make
a decision that will affect the
whole rest of my life, and I want
to be absolutely sure that I choose
the right path. Do you think you
could send me some money?"

You should strive for this kind of
closeness in your relationship with
your child. And remember: If
worse comes to worst, there is no
parenting tool more powerful than
a good hug. If you sense that your
child is getting into trouble, you
must give that child a great big fat
hug in a public place with other
young people around, while say-
ing, in a loud, piercing voice,
"You are MY LITTLE BABY and
I love you NO MATTER WHAT!"
This will embarrass your child so
much that he or she may immedi-
ately run off and join a strict reli-
gious order whose entire diet con-
sists of gravel. If one hug doesn't
work, threaten to give your child
another.

You must be tough, because
research shows that children who
experiment with so-called "soft"
dungs will eventually want to try
"something harder," and I don't
have to tell you what THAT
means. It means snakes. So let's
nip this problem in the bud, par-
ents. Let's talk to our children,
and let's write letters to President
Clinton urging him, next time he
has a scandal and needs an inter-
national crisis, to shoot missiles at
Malaysia. But most important of
all, let's scrape this stuff off our
shoes.

The Clarion Call

Page 13

Angels and demons and God, oh my!

by Keith B. Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

Snootchie boochies! Kevin
Smith has returned to the screen,
and the payoff is 'Dogma.' There
was a near holy war surrounding
the release of this film, resulting
from the very non-linear approach
'Dogma' takes towards religion.

The story centers around two fall-
en angels, Loki (Matt Damon), and
Bartleby (Ben Affleck) who have
been banished to Wisconsin (I
guess God's not a Packers fan) for
all eternity.

When the Cardinal Glick (played
by the always entertaining George
Carlin) unveils a new strategy to
attract churchgoers, the duo find a
loophole in church dogma, and
spot their chance to go home. If
they can pass through the church's
arch, they will be given access to
heaven. The only problem is, all
existence will be wiped out if they
succeed. Bummer.

Enter Bethany (Linda

Fiorentino), a lapsed Catholic who
is given the daunting task of stop-
ping the renegade angels.

Along the way, she encounters a
host (no pun intended) of friends
and enemies who provide her with
a new way of looking at religion,
and ultimately, rejuvenate her faith.

Among these characters is Rufus
(Chris Rock), who claims to be the
lost 13th apostle, left out of the
Bible because of skin color. Alan
Rickman plays Metatron, who acts
as God's messenger; Smith regular
Jason Lee plays a disgraced
muse/demon; and Salma Hayek
also shows up as another muse
who has lost her creative edge.

So how does the all-star cast and
intimidating subject matter gel?
'Dogma' blends the madcap humor
of Smith's previous film 'Mallrats'
with the edgy drama of 'Chasing
Amy'. The problem is, both styles
are presented in diluted forms,
blunting the film's impact. The
comedy sometimes seems forced,
and the drama gets incredibly

sappy at times.

The best parts of the film are the
long theological discussions the
characters participate in. But
directly after Smith makes you
ponder the meaning of heaven and
earth, he hits you upside the head
with such ridiculous sight gags like
giant poop monsters from hell, and
demonic hockey players.

That's not to say that 'Dogma' is

doomed. There are more than
enough bright spots in the movie to
save it. Damon and Affleck's
chemistry is terrific, especially in
the scenes where Loki, the angel of
death, decides to go on a killing
spree. Damon is filled with a won-
derful sense of comic mayhem,
and makes Loki the most interest-
ing being, celestial or otherwise, in
the film. One scene where he dev-

and Linda Fiorentino in a scene from 'Dogma.'

astates a boardroom filled with
executives is classic.

Rock is hilarious as always, prov-
ing once again that he is this gener-
ation's best comic talent. Jason
Lee also brings a biting cynical wit
to Azrael, which is basically a
cookie-cutter version of every
character he's played before,
except with horns this time.

'Dogma's main fault lies in the
fact that it enters the artistic nether-
world known as the "road movie."
At times, it seems like nothing
more than 'Planes, Trains, and
Automobiles' with God (I'm not
even going to get into the fact that
Alanis Morisette plays The Man
Upstairs). Smith shoots for a com-
bination of 'Last Temptation of
Christ' and 'Dumb & Dumber', but
his wings can't quite fly high
enough. 'Dogma' is a movie of
modest pleasures, but I'm saying
my prayers that Kevin Smith still
has another 'Chasing Amy' in him.
On my five-star rating system,
'Dogma' gets a 3.

Self's new Breakfast With Girls is dumb fun

by Keith B. Gwillim
OutaiCanUfctf^Edftor (

You know, the genres of rock and
hip-hop aren't mixed enough. Self is
here to change that You may remem-
ber Self for their minor hit "So Low"
a few years ago, a wonderfully witty
song about suicide (if that's possible).

Now, with his sophomore record,
Breakfast With Girls, Self delves even

further into his rock/r&b fusion, with
bubbly synths, squelching guitars,
and sing-songy choruses. It's a won-
derful new wave/goof rock revival
record.

Producer Ken Andrews (formerly of
the band Failure) lends his wonderful
touch to this album Andrew's sound
dynamics are unmistakable, with
ultra-crisp production, and guitars

sharper than Lorena Bobbit's knife
drawer.

The standout on the album is ''Meg
Ryan" apiece that sounds like vintage
They Might Be Giants. Withaboun-
cy dance rhythm and maddeningly
catchy lyrics and melodies that make
no sense whatsoever, "Ryan" is the
best goof rock song in years.

Other songs, such as "Sucker",
sport piano and vocal samples that
sound like they're from 40's musicals,

which conjure up images of those old
Ester Williams films I'm just asuck-
er for "Do de do de do" lines.

The only complaint with Breakfast
With Girls is that it could be a little
more consistent Aside from that, it's

Eagles get shot down 62-20

by John C. Crawford
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion Golden Eagles foot-
ball team put out one of its better
halfs of football this year, holding
West Chester University to a tied
game for the better part of two
quarters. The problem: the other
half was one of the worst this year.
"It was just one of those days,"
said coach Malen Luke.

The Eagles visited West Chester
last Saturday, and went down in
defeat 62-20. Despite starting in
its own territory each time, West
Chester posted touchdowns on all
five of their first half possessions.
The Eagles offense showed well
though, putting three touchdowns
on the board during the same half.
Clarion went three-and-out to
open the game's first drive. West
Chester moved the ball down field
quickly, making 80 yards in eight
plays in 2:46. Quarterback Mike
Mitros (26/37, 409 yards, 5 TDs, 1
INI) connected with WR Kevin
Ingram on a 15-yarder to cap the
drive.

Clarion started its second drive
with excellent field position, at
midfield, thanks to a 36-yard kick-
off return by Kervin Charles. CU
mounted a TD drive in seven
plays, all on the ground. RB Doug
Dudash punched it in from 14
yards out. The extra point was
blocked ; Clarion trailed 7-6.

Mitros again pushed West
Chester down the field on another
80-yard drive, taking only six
plays. Don DeFilipo (8 att, 69
yards, 1 TD) ran in the score. The
point after failed.

Clarion answered back again
going 61 yards in eleven plays.
Quarterback Adam Almashy (7/19,
86 yards, 1 TD) tossed a 19-yard
strike to TE Andy Pore to knot the
game 13-13 at the end of the first
quarter.

West Chester punched back
again, with an 11 -play, 73 yard
drive. Clarion's offense again

matched WCU, assembling its own
88 yard drive, taking 6:40 off the
clock.

Mitros hit the Eagles with his
legs this time. He finished a 70-
yard drive with runs of 16 yards
and five yards to help contribute to
one of four rushing touchdowns by
WCU.

Clarion went three-and-out on
the next drive. A bad punt by
Jason Flora gave WCU excellent
field position, at their own 44.
Mitros took West Chester 56 yards
with only 33 seconds left in the
half. He threw a second TD pass
to Ingram. A two-point try suc-
ceeded, putting WCU up 34-20 at
the end of the half.

The defenses finally showed dur-
ing the beginning of the third quar-
ter. WCU took the ball to open the
second half. Clarion free safety
Chris Janson recovered a fumble,
only to lose it himself. West
Chester couldn't take advantage of
their good fortune, and punted.

Clarion returned the favor, going
out after three plays again. West
Chester drove down to the Clarion
20, only to be pushed back by an
offensive pass interference penalty
by Ingram. But, on the first play
after the punt, Andy Pore fumbled,
giving WCU the ball on the
Clarion 30. Four plays later, West
Chester led 41-20.

The Eagles held through the rest
of the third. Unfortunately, Mitros
and his receivers took control of
the game on the first drive of the
fourth quarter. Starting on the
WCU eight, Mitros immediately
hooked up with Bill Lowe for a 53-
yarder. Mitros then made a 39-
yard TD toss to Jason Muchler to
put West Chester up 48-20.

Adam Almashy fumbled on the
second play of the next drive, to
set up WCU at the Clarion 20-yard
line. One play later, Mitros had
made his third touchdown pass to
Ingram.

Clarion went three-and-out after

the kickoff. Tim Bigelow came
into relieve Mitros at quarterback
for West Chester. 55 yards further
down the field , WCU tacked on
the last score of the game, assum-
ing a 62-20 lead. The Eagles took
the heavy loss in large part
because of numerous injuries.
"I'm at that point that... each week
it's something different," said
coach Luke. Wide receiver Dave
Hildebrand, Roosevelt Benjamin,
linebacker Ryan Presutti, all
starters, missed the game. Luke
said, "It's hard to think anybody's
beat up more than we are now."

West Chester's 648 yards of total
offense represent the best outing
this season in the PSAC. The 62
points WCU scored were the sec-
ond most this season. Mike
Mitros has thrown five touch-
downs in each of the last two
games.

Clarion falls to 1-7 overall. West
Chester goes to a 5-3 mark.
Clarion will host Lock Haven this
Saturday at 1 p.m. It will be
senior day for the Clarion team.

Adam Almashy and the rest of the golden eagles line up
for a play against the West Chester Rams. Clarion got
crushed this past Saturday 62-20. Clarion gave up over 600
total yards against West Chester. Clarion will host Lock
Haven this week in their final home game. Clarion stands
1-7 on the season

Clarion will host Lock Haven
University this weekend at 1
p.m., Saturday. LHU comes into
the game with a 2-7 record, but
has not won a PSAC West
match-up this year.

LHU is coming off a 68-7
drubbing by Shippensburg. The
defeat was the worst this season
in the PSAC, and one of the
worst this year in NCAA
Division II. LHU is averaging
19.3 ppg, and is giving up 33.4

PPg-

Lock Haven running back

Jamie Allen ranks tenth in the

conference making 742 yards on

142 attempts, and scoring 7 TDs.

Allen also is a good look-off

option, catching 24 balls this

year. LHU's signal caller is Ed

Galiczynski, who has gone

108/212 (50.9%) for 1257 yards,

TDs, 12 INTs. Kicker Matt

Mapes has gone 10/12 in field

goals.

LHU's defense is suspect, they
have given up twice as many
touchdowns as they have scored.
The defense has only made six
interceptions in nine games.

Optimistically, the Eagles have
lost four games by seven-point
margins. A pessimist would say
they've lost three games by 26 or
more points. Clarion coach
Malen Luke lamented, "I'm sure
they're looking for answers like
we are."

Clarion will look to several key
players for those answers. RB
Doug Dudash is coming off his
best performance of the season,
raking up 97 yards against West
Chester. LB Brett Wiley is first
in the PSAC with 20 tackles for
loss. Clarion's offense has only
chipped in 19 touchdowns. The
defense has surrendered 35.

What's at stake in this game?
Pride, the loser is likely to be the
basement dweller of the PSAC
West this season.

Tbe freshman fiftteen, is easy

There is a way to deal with the extra

Eagles get shot down 62

by John C. Crawford
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Eagles visited West Chester
last Saturday, and went down in
defeat 62-20. Despite starting in
its own territory each time. West
Chester posted touchdowns on all
five of their first half possessions.
The Eagles offense showed well
though, putting three touchdowns
on the board during the same half.
Clarion went three-and-out to
open the game's first drive. West
Chester moved the ball down field
quickly, making 80 yards in eight
plays in 2:46. Quarterback Mike
Mitros (26/37, 409 yards, 5 TDs, 1
INI) connected with WR Kevin
Ingram on a 15-yarder to cap the
drive.

Clarion started its second drive
with excellent field position, at
midfield. thanks to a 36-yard kick-
off return by Kervin Charles. CU
mounted a TD drive in seven
plays, all on the ground. RB Doug
Dudash punched it in from 14
yards out. The extra point was
blocked ; Clarion trailed 7-6.

Mitros again pushed West
Chester down the field on another
80-yard drive, taking only six
plays. Don DeFilipo (8 att, 6 C )
yards. 1 TD) ran in the score. The
point after failed.

West Chester punched back
again, with an 11 -play. 73 yard
drive. Clarion's offense again

matched WCU, assembling its own
88 yard drive, taking 6:40 off the
clock.

Mitros hit the Eagles with his
legs this time. He finished a 70-
yard drive with runs of 16 yards
and five yards to help contribute to
one of four rushing touchdowns by
WCU.

Clarion went three-and-out on
the next drive. A bad punt by
Jason Elora gave WCU excellent
field position, at their own 44.
Mitros took West Chester 56 yards
with only 33 seconds left in the
half. He threw a second TD pass
to Ingram. A two-point try suc-
ceeded, putting WCU up 34-20 at
the end of the half.

Clarion relumed the favor, going
out after three plays again. West
Chester drove down to the Clarion
20, only to be pushed back by an
offensive pass interference penalty
by Ingram. But, on the first play
alter the punL Andy Pore fumbled,
giving WCU the ball on the
Clarion 30. Four plays later. West
Chester led 41-20.

The Eagles held through the rest
of the third. Unfortunately, Mitros
and his receivers took control of
the game on the first drive of the
fourth quarter. Starting on the
WCU eight, Mitros immediately
hooked up with Bill Lowe for a 53-
yarder. Mitros then made a 39-
yard TD loss to Jason Muchler to
put West Chester up 48-20.

Adam Almashy fumbled on the
second play of the next drive, to
set up WCU at the Clarion 20-yard
line. One play later, Mitros had
made his third touchdown pass to
Ingram.

Clarion went three-and-out after

ihe kickoff. Tim Bigelow came
into relieve Mitros at quarterback
for West Chester. 55 yards further
down the field , WCU tacked on
the last score of the game, assum-
ing a 62-20 lead. The Eagles took
the heavy loss in large part
because of numerous injuries.
"I'm at that point that... each week
it's something different," said
coach Luke. Wide receiver Dave
Hildebrand, Roosevelt Benjamin,
linebacker Ryan Presutti, all
starters, missed the game. Luke
said, "It's hard to think anybody's
beat up more than we are now."

West Chester's 648 yards of total
offense represent the best outing
this season in the PSAC. The 62
points WCU scored were the sec
ond most this season. Mike
Mitros has thrown five touch-
downs in each of the last two
games.

Clarion falls to 1-7 overall. West
Chester goes to a 5-3 mark.
Clarion will host Lock Haven this
Saturday at 1 p.m. It will be
senior day for the Clarion team.

Adam Almoshy and the rest of the golden eagles line up
for a play against the West Chester Rams. Clarion got
crushed this past Saturday 62-20. Clarion gave up over 600
total yards against West Chester. Clarion will host Lock

1-7 on the season

Clarion will host Lock Haven
University this weekend at 1
p.m., Saturday. LHU comes into
the game with a 2-7 record, but
has not won a PSAC West
match-up this year.

PPg-

Lock Haven running back

Jamie Allen ranks tenth in the

conference making 742 yards on

142 attempts, and scoring 7 TDs.

Allen also is a good look-off

option, catching 24 balls this

year. LHU's signal caller is Ed

Galiczynski, who has gone

108/212 (50.9%) for 1257 yards,

TDs, 12 INTs. Kicker Malt

Mapes has gone 10/12 in field

goals.

LHU's defense is suspect, they
have given up twice as many
touchdowns as they have scored.
The defense has only made six
interceptions in nine games.

Turn that unwanted fat
into muscle

by Josiah Jones
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The freshman fiftteen, is easy
weight to gain but not easy to lose.
There is a way to deal with die extra
pounds. This is where weightlifting
comes into play. Doing three sets
of ten for each exercise will help
enormously.

Here is a schedule you or a friend
can use to turn that fat into muscle.
On Monday and Friday you can
exercise the chest and bicep mus-
cles. For the chest you can bench
press, incline press, and then do
butterflies (or dumbbell press). For
biceps you can use hammer curls,
preacher curls, and barbell curls.

On Wednesday you can do shoul-
der, back, and tneep exercises. For
shoulders you can do the military
press and dumbbell presses. For
the back, use back pull downs and
extensions. For die tricep muscles
you can use a dumbbell behind the
head, and tricep pull downs, and
skull crushers. Skull crushers is an
exercise where you take the bar and
lift it from your head and extend.

This is a very productive schedule
that can help you build muscle. In
addition these exercise are very
good as a stress reliever. Try this
workout for a month and I can
almost promise results..

The quest for the Stanley Cup has begun

by Bob Kotnik
t Clarion Call Staff Writer

The coolest game on earth is back
for another season of slap shots, hip
checks , breakaways and the occa-
sional fight The season is only a
month old and the season has a lot
of expectations and changes.

The NHL has added a few rule
changes this season. Amidst the
controversy that surrounded
theDallas Stanley Cup clinching
goal the league has modified it's in
the crease rule. Goals will no
longer be disallowed unless the
player in the crease is interfering
with the goal tender. That decision
will be made by the on ice referee
not the replay judge. The NHL has
also changed its regular season
overtime format, the overtime peri-
od will have four skaters per side in
hopes that there will be less ties.
Teams will still receive two points
for a overtime win, but now will get
1 point for a loss or a tie. perhaps
the biggest change of all has noth-
ing to do with the rules. The league
has added a new team, the Atlanta
Thrashers, which now gives the
league 28 teams.

The league wasn't the only one
making changes in the off-season.
Many other teams did as well. The
Rangers once again opened up their
checkbook to sign a whole bunch of
veteran players, including Theo
Fleury, and Valerie Kamensky, from
the Colorado Avalanche, in hopes of
getting back to the playoffs. Failure
to do so my cost GM Neil Smith his
job. The Rangers have also traded
for Penguins D Kevin Hatcher to
give them more punch on the blue
line.

As for the rest of the Eastern
Conference starting in the Atlantic
Division, the New Jersey Devils
find themselves in first place.
They've been the Eastern
Conference regular season champi-
ons the last two years but were
bounced in the first round of the
playoffs both times. If that happens
again this season, look for heads to
roll in the Gardan State. The Flyers
bring back their big guys Eric
Lindros and John Leclair and have
added DUlfSamuellson. Ulf gives
them a little more toughness come
playoff time. The loss of backup
Ron Hextall, who retired could hurt

if John Vandiesbrouck gets hurt.
The Penguins have a new owner,
Mario Lemieux, but the Pens will
need forwards Martin Straka and
Alexei Kovalev to contribute heav-
ily if they went to improve. The
afore mentioned Rangers have a lot
of new talent ,but will have to deal
with the retirement of the greatest
player ever, Wayne Gretzky, to
make a push for the playoffs. The
Cellar of the Atlantic Division is
still reserved for the New York
Islanders.

In the Northeast Division ,the
biggest surprise of the season up to
this point is the slow start of the
Buffalo Sabres. Last years Eastern
Conference representative in the
finals is currently in last place. But
it's a long season and they should be
able to recover. Last years division
champion the Ottawa Senators look
good to repeat despite the holdout
of Alexi Yashin. The recent signing
of center Joe Juneau should help.
The Toronto Maple Leafs made it
to the Eastern Conference finals last
season and are off to a fast start
again this season. The Leafs high
powered offense currently is tops in

the Eastern Conference but there
playoff success is going to depend
on their defense. The Boston
Bruins fate rests on holdout goal-
tender Byron Defoe, without him
the Bruins will be in trouble, even
with the age-less wonder Ray
Bourque. The NHL's most storied
franchise, the Montreal Canadians,
are in for a long season. Their top
defensive man, Vladimir Malakhov
will miss the first four months with
a knee injury. This leaves their
defense very vulnerable.

The Southeast Division is proba-
bly the least talented in the NHL.
It's a two horse race between last
years division winner ,the Carolina
Hurricanes, and the Florida
Panthers. Having Pavel Bure
around for the whole season for the
Panthers should help. But it proba-
bly won't be enough for them to
overtake the Hurricanes. The
Atlanta Thrashers are an expansion
team so not much can be expected
of them. As for Washington and
Tampa Bay refer to the Islander
comments above. Check out next
weeks issue for the Western
Conference preview.

CUP Swim Teams Dominate
Pre-Season meets

by Dennis Phillips

This past weekend, the Clarion
University Swim Team competed
in a Pre-Season scrimmage and
performances in the meet were
outstanding. The women won all
events and the men won all but
three events. In ten different
events CUP swimmers finished
first and second, including a
sweep of the top four slots in the
Men's Senior 50 Meter Freestyle.
Together the CUP swim team
won 21 out of 24 events during
the meet.

In a swim meet dominated by
the CUP team, it is hard to point
out the best performance with
such a great team effort. Five dif-
ferent women swimmers won two
events during the meet. Senior
Nicolina Diloreto won the 100
and 200 Breast Stoke events,
Junior Shannon Cattoni matched
her teammate winning the 100
and 200 Freestyle, and Junior
Meghan Tracy won both the 100
and 200 Back Stroke events as
well. Freshman Missy Baer won
two events including an outstand-

ing time in the 200 Butterfly
which would have qualified her
for nationals during a season
meet. Freshman Abbey Koch had
an outstanding performance win-
ning two events also. Senior
Sarah Yocum and Junior Andrea
Faller came through with victo-
ries for the CUP team as well.

For the men, Junior Matt Jeffers
was victorious in the 100 and 200
Breast Stroke, Sophomore Brian
Monico won both the 500 and
1000 Freestyle events, and
Freshman Bill Wright earned vic-
tories in the 50 and 100 freestyle
events. In the 50 Freestyle ,CUP
Swimmers finished first through
fourth and were only separated by
a half a second. Senior Dan
Pierce had a victory in the 200
Freestyle and Junior Aaron
Ulishney earned a victory in the
200 Backstroke.

The CUP Swim Team opens
their season on the road this
Wednesday against Division III
Allegheny. Coach Bill Miller
enjoys the competition with
Allegheny because he considers
their team a "complete program."

Intramurals in swing in the new rec center

by Dan McGinley
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The new recreation center is
now open on campus and it is in
full swing. When the building
opened last week it brought the
Intramural office and sports
with it. The Intramural sports
program is currently offering 27
sports for both men and women,
including a new arrival, roller
hockey. Roller blades was
introduced last fall and has
caught on to many of the stu-

dents.

Everyone is thrilled about the
new facilities but no one more
than Doug Knepp, who is in
charge of the Intramural sports.
"Although we offer the same
sports now as we did before,
this building allows us to
expand. We had 3 Intramural
games going on at the same time
the other day, that's something
we could never do in Tippin,"
Knepp said.

Even though the new rec cen-
ter can offer more expansion, it
does not end there. The
Intramural Advisory Committee
(IRAC) has been formed. The
committee is made up of stu-
dents who act as the student

voice for their peers opinions
and new ideas. These students
are responsible for the start of
the roller hockey program and
other ideas such as equipment
rental with a five dollar deposit.
Students now can rent things
like cross country skis, sleds,
inner tubes, roller blades, bikes,
tents, and backpacks. If the
items are returned in twenty-
four hours your five dollar
deposit is returned. The rec
center is open from 7 a.m.- 11
p.m. Monday through Friday
and 1 p. m.-Sp.m. on Saturday
and it is open for suggestions all
the time. The IRAC is looking
for members and Doug Knepp
will listen to your opinions.

"All other professional
sports should take a look
at the PGA and learn how
to remember a friend and
champion"

People are starting to realize
there is much more to life than
just sports. Athletes are start-
ing to share their off-field life
with us the fans, which brings
us closer to them. This was
very evident in the way the
PGA Tour handled the untimely
death of Payne Stewart.

The PGA showed great honor
in the way they handled the
death of Stewart. In a fitting
tribute to Payne, they canceled
play Friday at the Tour
Championship in Texas. They
did this so players could return
to Orlando for Stewart's memo-
rial service. But on Thursday
before the first tee shot, the
PGA displayed what is right in
sports. They set aside the game
to remember a friend and a
champion. Too many times in
sports it seems that a moment
of silence before a game is not
enough. The PGA just didn't
give him a moment of silence.
They gave him a fitting tribute.

Commissioner Tim Finchem
and Tom Lehman gave heartfelt
speeches. Their speeches were
genuine and from the heart.
Lehman showed grace and
poise as tears ran down his
face. Then in grand style the
PGA had Steve Agan , a mem-
ber of the Hamilton Bagpiper
Band, play Amazing Grace. It
was beautifully done, as the
bagpipe player walked up the
first fairway through the fog
towards the crowd. It filled me
up with goose bumps. The bag-
piper was an excellent touch to
send Payne off to heaven.

Then individual members,
such as Bob Estes paid special
tribute to Payne on the course.
He hit his first tee shot just six-
teen feet in remembrance of the

sixteen footer Stewart made to
win the 1999 U.S. Open at
Pinehurst early this summer. A
good friend of Payne Stewart,
Davis Love .decided to put
Stewart's initals in big black
lettering on the back of his cap.
This is usually a violation to the
PGA rules to put any kind for-
eign marking on your equip-
ment. Another player, Duffy
Waldorf, is famous for putting
his kids names on his golf ball.
This week Duffy decided to
honor Payne by filling his ball
up with words referring to
Stewart. Then on Sunday, in
the final round of the Tour
Championship, almost every-
one in the 29 man field dressed
in Payne Stewart clothes.
Players were dressed in Payne's
classic knickers, and unfamiliar
cap and their socks were hiked
up to their knees.

The PGA should be com-
mended. Whether you like golf
or not ,the PGA handled the sit-
uation right in everyway. The
players of the PGA tour also
should be commended because
they showed what real men are.
That week thousands and thou-
sands of dollars were on the
line, but they put that aside for
their friend. There are always
untimely deaths in sports and
some are not handled in the
right way. All other profession-
al sports should take a look at
the PGA and learn how to
remember a friend and champi-
on.

Other sports should do more
for an athlete who dies than just
have a moment of silence .
Athletes are people too, treat
them like it when they pass on.

Sunday night, and showed this

and stunning shows.

Shirley Manson and Garbage rock Clarion 's world Sunday
night at the Tippin Gymnasium. Nearly 2,500 people attend-
ed the show.

then anchored ourselves to the
security barricade, not moving
for anything or anyone. We
then waited in anticipation for
the hyperactive crowd to mosh
our internal organs into Jell-O.
As the fans gushed into the
small Tippin Gymnasium, our
space grew more and more lim-
ited, until it got to the point
where you couldn't even feel
your legs, let alone move them.
But none of that mattered when
the lights dimmed and the
opening act, Lit, took to the
stage.

Greeted by a roar that seemed
to be louder than the music
itself, the power-pop quartet
launched into their set with a
fierce intensity. The emphasis
was on their more recent
album, A Place In The Sun, and
Lit didn't disappoint, playing
all the hits and growing louder
and faster as the crowd
demanded. Singer A. Jay
Popoff was a whirling dervish
on stage, prancing around and
screaming his throat raw. By
the time they fired up their
major hit, "My Own Worst
Enemy", the umpteenth crowd-
surfer had planted their foot in
my face, and the night was in
full swing. Although all the
high-school girls surrounding
me loved it when Popoff spit
water all over the crowd, I was
less than enthused, although it
was immediately carried off by
sweat, so hot was the grooving
crowd.

Songs such as "Down", "Zip-
Lock", and "Miserable" were
given extra depth and sound
resonance in person that just
can't be captured on disc. Lit
is a band that must be heard

www.clarion.edu/thecall

live to truly appreciate the
music.

After their set, the long wait
for the main act, Garbage
began. Immediately after the
lights came on, the crowd
rushed in even further, as if
being a few centimeters closer
to the action would matter. But
I was so anxious to see Garbage
and the always entertaining
Shirley Manson that it seemed
not to matter that a few ribs
were cracked, and that I got to
know fellow students a little
more than I wanted to.

Then, without warning, the
lights went black, and Manson
and Co. took the stage.
Leaping into the action with a
tight red vinyl top and her
trademark flaming red hair,
Manson held all in sway for the
rest of the night, proving once
again that she is without a
doubt the rock world's best
female vocalist. Starting the
night out with the utterly
seductive "No. 1 Crush",
Garbage kicked off a flawless
night.

Balancing the night out with
both the slow and mournful
("Milk", "Medication") and the
grinding cacophony of songs
such as "Push It" and "Vow",
Garbage paced the concert
immaculately. No sooner
would your head be ready to
fall off from banging it off of
other concert-goers than
Manson would lull you into a
trance with her elegiac voice.
But it would only be the calm
before the storm, as they would
try their damnedest to make
your ears bleed the next song.

The crescendo of the show
had to be the encore, though.

Garbage strolled back on stage,
where Manson told the crowd
that they would soon be flying
to the premier of the new James
Bond film, 'The World Is Not
Enough', for which they
recorded the title song.
Manson informed the crowd
that everyone would "lust after
her and wanted to f*** her."
They then performed a sweep-
ing rendition of "The World
Is..." which left the gathering
breathless. The synthesized
string-laden masterpiece

sounded like they had been per-
forming it for years, and many
hardcore fans (myself included)
already knew the words,
singing along. Immediately
afterwards, they ended the
show with a supernova bang,
with their biggest hit to date,
"Only Happy When It Rains,"
which churned with aggression
and pure emotion (or so they
tell me; by this time my sense
of hearing had deserted me).

While the show centered
around the carnal sexual aura
emitted by Shirley Manson, the
rest of the band performed
admirably as well. Guitarist
Duke Erikson and

drummer/super-producer Butch
Vig (of Nirvana's Nevermind
fame) kept the rhythms in
check and the riffs earth-shat-
tering. But in the end, Manson
stole the show. As I've said
about Garbage's most recent
album, Version 2.0, Shirley
Manson was not only the heart
of the concert, but the rusty nail
through it. The MTV Campus
Invasion Tour was a vivid and
impressionable experience that
won't be soon forgotten.

Voters disgusted by nud
slinging ethics of candidates

So, the most recent election just passed. While we
have always been taught that our vote matters and
one should always make sure to vote, who wants to
anymore? And, really why bother.

For most of us, we are college students away
from home. We are unaware of what the issues are
among the candidates and they do nothing to
inform us either. So, why should we vote for peo-
ple we know nothing about.

Actually, that's not entirely true. We do know
what candidates think of each other, who peed their
pants in eighth grade, and whole stole the gumball
from the candy machine. Relevant? Doubt it. The
entire campaign runs around a bunch of adults who
seem to pride themselves on launching campaigns
of ignorance, not at all informing us-their voters.

What are we supposed to go on to vote? Lies, and
misrepresentation? We think not. And while we
know this doesn't occur in every community, it is
hard for the voters to know what really is factual.

And, seeing many of us are from larger market
areas, for instance, Pittsburgh, it is embarrassing,
not to mention annoying to turn on the TV and hear
the mud slinging ethics all of the candidates have
chosen.

Maybe the older generations can tell us-has it
always been this way or are the Generation X'ers
about to be ambushed by the new wave of election
tactics so thought to be heinously deceitful?

Your Views

Schools step in for mom and dad

Going away to college isn't what it used to be.

"I looked forward to going to college because my
parents aren't here," said Jarrod Lyman, a 19 year-
old broadcast journalism major.

That's what he thought. Increasingly, colleges
appear to be playing the role of mom and dad — only
they're doing a much poorer job of it.

"It's totally going against what college is supposed
to be about," said Corey Williams, a 22 year-old
electronic media major. "People are going to have to
grow up sometime."

Over the years, university administrators have stuck
their noses into lots of student domains. Orientation
sessions are getting longer and longer to make way
for all the hand-holding school officials feel com-
pelled to do. They want students to make friends,
know how to cope when they don't make friends,
make good grades, know how to cope when they
don't make good grades... you get the picture.

We didn't learn that stuff in high school?

"It gives people the opportunity to transition to a
university in a successful way," said Cindy Payne
who teaches one of the orientation classes at
Northern Arizona University. "I think it sets a realis-

tic workload."

Ha! College students don't sleep. We eat at all
hours. We like loud music. We study when we want.
But our schedules are ours, they're realistic, and it's
not up to any university to tell us other wise.

It's obvious that our society functions under a
parental philosophy commonly known as "local,
state and federal law." The law inherently restricts
behavior for some sort of greater societal good — but
on campus, most behavioral limitations are designed
to protect us from ourselves. Sounds good on the sur-
face, but take a closer look, and you'll see that we're
protected in some of the most unnecessary and
annoying ways.

Not sure what I'm talking about? Well, then try and
cook in your room at 2 a.m. (Food preparation isn't
allowed after certain hours on some campuses.) See
if you can get by for a semester without paying the
dining services on campus. (Many schools require
minimum payments each semester because they say
they want to ensure students are able to get SOME-
THING to eat.) Try to have someone of the opposite
sex, study (or, God forbid, sleep) in your dorm room

"Free expression is
important to the stability
of a democratic society."

John Crawford |

Why free expression can never go too far

For two and a quarter centuries
the American experiment had
been ongoing. The core of this
experiment has been the question
of liberty, especially the freedom
of expression. Liberty is not a
human right; it is not a privilege;
it is a simple fact. Every man, by
virtue of free will, has the capaci-
ty to act in whatever manner he so
chooses. The ability to act is
inherently limited by only the
unwillingness to accept conse-
quence.

Most citizens do not promote
the notion of complete liberty.
Past scholars have often beaten
the issue into a pulp. Politicians
make entire careers from guaran-
teeing or limiting the free exercise
of liberty. Confucius said of the
matter, "Release an enemy for one
day, it will bring evil to many gen-
erations. St. Augustine believed
free will was an act of blasphemy.
Socrates was condemned for
preaching free thought. Limiting
free expression has been the
impetus of many fundamentalist
movements.

Central to the American experi-
ment with liberty has been free
speech. This aspect of American
culture has witnessed a massive
transition of the last two cen-
turies. A nation once governed by
a white, upper-class, landed elite

has evolved into a robust market-
place of ideas. Freedom of
expression has become the defin-
ing characteristic of American
society. From the most adverse
racial literature to the most
obscene pornography, the means
to express have come unhinged.
Technology, from the printing
press to the internet, has allowed
the concept of freedom to exceed
what most would deem accept-
able.

Those who oppose this market-
place of ideas — where so many
tainted products are now avail-
able — have beseeched the judi-
cial system to curb "corrupt" and
"prurient" interests. Both liberal
and conservative elements now
ask the Supreme Court to place
substantive limits upon interpreta-
tions of the First Amendment.
The freedom of our fellow man
has come to burden more relevant
interests.

In The Republic, Plato makes
the point that it is the freedom of
our fellow man which causes us to
withdraw from democratic princi-
ples. Nowhere does this seem
more so evident than in present-
day America. We demand that
violent games and literature be
restricted. We demand that racists
not be given the right to march.

Editorial

"At least there is one

person I can count on

to understand me.

My twin sister."

Leslie Suhr, Managing Editor

To me an editorial doesn't need
to provoke arguments. It doesn't
need to lecture or pick something
apart. It can, but mine won't.
Mine is sort of self reflective.

You know, sometimes it takes a
lot for people to understand one
another. I know my friends don't
always understand me. What
bothers me the most, I guess, is
that they, at times, don't even try.

At least there is one person I can
count on to understand me. My
twin sister. She and probably
everyone else, including my
family, would find this hard to
believe. But, I am sure that my
mother would be happy to hear
this. Sure we fight like mad at
times. And we've never shared
this super -natural bond that some
twins claim to share, but I know
that she understands me.

While we both attend Clarion,
we have different interests, per-
sonalities, majors, and just about
everything else. We were never
especially into similar things.
But, that's cool, that's what
makes us different.

I know that Liza can read me
like a book. When I am stressed
she knows why. If I snap down

her throat or seem edgy she
knows why. She doesn't get all
irritated with me. She under-
stands me.

I wish sometimes I could have
more friends like that. I think that
just because I am a straightfor-
ward person, people interpret me
differently. I don't believe in
beating around the bush either.

My friends have always been
important to me, too. But, some-
times I feel that it is one-sided. I
am not the type of person to say
what you want to hear, but rather
what you need to hear.
Sometimes, it takes friends to tell
you these things.

I know mat if I really need
someone to listen or talk to Liza
will be around. Sometimes I feel
like others don't want to talk me.
They shut me out. My friends
don't ask me to do things as much
as they used to. They don't ask
how I am anymore. It sort of
makes me reevaluate who my
friends are, I guess.

I can only guess what makes

people distance themselves from

their friends. And, I know that I

am probably too busy, but I do try

V^rQWTOrQl why free expression can never go too far,
from page 3

We demand either strict banishment or inclusion of JudeoOiristian moralism be
applied in (he schools.

Even when we don't make these demands, it is often that we begiudgelhe granti-
ng of liberty. Indeed, the belief that liberty can be granted to others— as if it were
candy — is an insult to the democracy. Wrote Thomas Fbine, 'Toleration is not the
opposite of Intolerance, but is the counterfeit of it Both are despotisms. The one
assumes to itself the right of withholding Liberty of Conscience, and the other of grant-
ing it" We may disdain or even despise the exercises of fi^ expression which oth-
ersmake. However, we are not so holy as to abrogate our resporeibiliry to uphold
free expression at all costs, for aD citizens.

Free expression is important to testability of a democratic society. Itprovidesan
outlet for the oppressed. Even when those in question are not being oppressed, it
important to maintain their right to express the sense that they are. I-ree expression
infers the greatest of all possibilities: nonviolent revolution. In the words of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., "[Nonviolence] is a sword that heals." Even the nonviolence

If a man submits to the faith of Nazism, he does so because he feels oppressed If
a man engages in perverted acts, he does so because he feels repressed. If a man
chooses to speak, then let us allow whatever be says to be expressed Otherwise, we
risk invalidating hkn as a member of our society.
It may seem little to have just lost one. But, Hitler was just one. Stalin was just one.
And so too, was Dr. King just one.

The befiefcan often be: ifwefeartheWad, itis because the Word is true. What if

is no such man as a false disciple. The young follower seeks prootandthe effort to
hold down expression often can legitimize a Word which isn't true. Hefearssome-
thing more wicked than the evfl offered him: he sees the t>ramy of censorship.

If a young man becomes a nazi, he knows in our society he is an outsider. He
believes elements withm our system conspire to keep his people down. He says,
"Jews and blacks and mud people are given preference while I am left with nothing."
When he expresses this point ofview,\wntiicuiehnn. Some are motivated to attack

And he looks among us, and sees nothing but people who have been cowed by the
system. Alter all, who made the laws of today? The people of the 1960s. What was
toe force behind that nonviolent revolution? It makes total sense to him— the system
has clearly been taken over by an enemy people. And that enemy does not wart his
Word to be known.

Is he wrong to think so? Yes. But, we cannot legislate enlightenmenL Everyman
must learn in his own due time. If in the meantime he seeks to spread a word which
is evfl, then let him. If what he says is evil, let his evil shine as an example to those
we teach. If some among us nod at what he says, it is only because they, too, feel
oppressed

If we become the praetorians who comrnand the gales, we are r» better tat^

of the most noble cause — weare tyrants. Eair means do not justify wrong ends; fair
ends do not justify wrong means.

Once we have grasped that sense we can begin to make a difference. Tolimifree
expression is to validate the sense of oppression. If we are a free society, such a vali-
dation of oppression can never be allowed Even the most immoral and most hate-
filled evil has a place in the marketplace of ideas. To cakii something, we must first

to make the effort. But, I ask people to do things with me, and they
don't want to. Kind of makes me feel alienated.

To get to the point, I guess that I just want my Mends to understand
me. Really. We have all chosen to do different things at college. As we
should. We all can't be teachers, TV producers, or accountants. We all
can't be involved in the same things. We all have successes and failures
and we should be there to support one another.

As I prepare for the beginning of my last semester, I hope that my
friends will take what I say to heart. I'd like for my last semester to be
filled with many more memories and fun times. You guys know who
you are. If you want to talk, let's talk. But, if you say your fine, then
that's what I am going to hear.

To me, we all need to listen to what is said more than the tone or man-
ner in which it is said. We are adults and shouldn't have to drag infor-
mation out of people. And sometimes, people just need to really listen.
So, let's do just that

And, Liza, thanks for really knowing me. It helps to know that some-
one really does understand me. And, I am sure, that I don't make it easy
either. But, please don't get all mushy and stuff on me either.

I know that we all have bad semesters. We don't have the classes we
want. We don't have the professors we want. We anticipate everything '"J^ corporate world .
we do with such dread. Graduation is not an end. And, I hope that we
can make the most of the time we have left.

Why can't a woman run for President

The most prominent absentee from the first nation-
ally televised town meeting with Republican presi-
dential candidates at Dartmouth College last week
was front-runner Texas Gov. George W. Bush, but the
most notable may have been Elizabeth Hanford Dole.

Just days after announcing a Nov. 7 official launch
date for what would have been a historic campaign
for the White House, Dole dropped out of the race.

woman to the White House in 1937.

to make the effort. But, I ask people to do things with me, and they
don't want to. Kind of makes me feel alienated.

To get to the point, I guess that I just want my friends to understand
me. Really. We have all chosen to do different things at college. As we
should. We all can't be teachers, TV producers, or accountants. We all
can't be involved in the same things. We all have successes and failures
and we should be there to support one another.

you are. If you want to talk, let's talk. But, if you say your fine, then

Why can't a woman run for President

Just days after announcing a Nov. 7 official launch
date for what would have been a historic campaign
for die White House, Dole dropped out of the race.

In many ways, experts said, hers essentially was a
problem of too little, too late: She had too little
money to continue and she ramped up the tempo and
visibility of her national campaign too late to boost
support.

But, despite her campaign's flaw's, the withdrawal
of Dole, unlike such earlier GOP dropouts as former
Vice President Dan Quayle and Ohio congressman
John Kasich, should be viewed as a bit more than just
a case of "Too bad."

When Quayle and Kasich quit, nobody said: "Well,
he was just running for vice president, anyway." This
is exactly what many people, men and women, said
about Dole, not just on the day of her withdrawal, but
throughout her eight-month exploratory campaign.

The question is: Why?

Why, when the woman clearly states she wants to
be commander-in-chief, would anyone doubt her and
presume she really wants to be second string?

Why, at the turn of the century that has seen more
American women assuming leadership positions in
poliucs, wasn't Elizabeth Dole's bid taken seriously
by many in the public and even by some in her own
party's leadership.

And, why, when in so many countries of the world
— ranging from Britain to Pakistan — women suc-
cessfully have served as heads of state, do Americans
seem still to have a problem dealing with the
prospect of a woman in charge, not just in poliucs but
in die corporate world?

The short answer — and probably the wrong one —
is sexism. Whether they really believe what they say
or not, in March of this year, 92 percent of all
Americans told Gallup pollsters that they were will-

Although women have headed governments in
many countries around die world, from India's Indira
Gandhi to Israel's Golda Meir, often these women
either succeeded their husbands or rose through a
parliamentary process in which they were elected by
their party, but not directly by the people.

Exceptions remain relatively few. They included
Vigdis Finnbogadottir, president of Iceland from
1980 to 1996, who not only was the world's first
woman president to be direcdy elected by the people,
but also die first female president in Europe.

Another was Corazon Aquino, president of the
Philippines from 1986 to 1992 and the first woman
president in Asia.

A longer answer to why America seems so tardy in
electing a woman president involves generations and
gender.

At this moment in American histoiy, a younger
generation is about to seize power, but an v 'der gen-
eration is still in control of most of what counts,
whether in choosing a presidential nominee or a cor-
porate chairman. In some ways Elizabeth Dole, 63,
got crushed in mis generational collision: appealing
to young people, particularly women, but not so
appealing to older, more traditional people who still
can't quite visualize a woman walking into a room to
the strains of "Hail to die Chief."

"One of our problems is that we 'know' what a
president looks like and no woman 'looks' like a
president of die United States. This is a tremendous
psychological barrier," says Swanee Hunt, a former
U.S. ambassador to Austria who now heads the
Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard
University's Kennedy School of Government.

Registration prompts discussion

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

Faculty Senate discussed regis-
tration difficulties the university
is having this semester at their
meeting November 8.

President Reinhard said adding
more faculty would not be a long
term solution to the scheduling
problem students are currently
experiencing.

Interim Provost Grunenwald
concludes standardizing schedul-
ing from past years is a problem
that must be addressed. He also
suggested a course curriculum
review across programs. The
Dean's Council recognizes that
there is not one solution to solve
this problem.

Grunenwald said upper and
lower division courses are not
equally distributed and that
might also be why students are
having a hard time getting the
classes that they need. If profes-
sors are teaching more higher
level courses freshmen will have
a hard time getting into lower
division courses because less of
them are being taught.

In new business, the Student
Affairs committee chair, Dr.
Anand Rao, recently received a
call from the Clarion Chamber of
Commerce concerning the
rescheduling of the Autumn Leaf
Festival.

The mid-semester break will
begin on September 27 at 10
p.m. instead of the scheduled
October 4 at 10 p.m. This
change will take place during the
2001-2002 academic school year.

Minor changes will be made to
the current Clarion University
academic catalog said Dr. Donna
Poljanec, Senate Representative
for Catalog changes. More color
photos, and an upbeat cover will
be some of the current changes
being made. They are hoping to
move the catalog to a larger two
column format. The pages will
have tabs on the end to combine

related material. A binder is also
being considered so that the book
will lay flat making it easier for
students to use.

Nominations for the
Provost/Academic Vice

Escort service back;
but not expanded

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor^

The Clarion University
Department of Public Safety
recently reinstated the escort ser-
vice on campus. The service had
originally been eliminated after
being in service for many years.

The service does not, however,
extend off campus or into the
community.

The hours of operation for the
escort service are from dusk to
dawn and the service provides an
on foot service only.

Escorts will be provided by
patrol car if the situation appears
to necessitate it. A dispatcher will
determine the use of patrol vehi-
cles.

If student officers are not avail-
able security officers or police
officers will conduct the escorts.
These officers will carry two-way
radios at all times.

Student officers will be provid-
ing the escorts for individuals who
fear their safety. However, if upon
arrival to make the escort an offi-
cer finds that there is more than
one individual, the request will be
denied. The officer will then
inform the individual that the ser-
vice is provided to individuals
who would otherwise have to
walk alone on campus and had
fear for their safety.

The service is intended to pro-
mote feelings of safety by provid-
ing an alternative to members of
the university community who
otherwise would have to walk
alone during the hours of dark-
ness.

Other, more urgent calls for ser-
vice shall take precedence over
requests for escorts. A dispatcher
will determine the location of the
person requesting the escort and
will also establish the response
time.

Tedjeske explained that there are
many problems with the operation
of any type of escort service and
that his department will take steps
to ensure that the service will not
be abused.

"While some people have a gen-
uine safety-driven need for an
escort service, others will abuse
this service for a ride or simply
convenience," Tedjeske said.

"The responsibility to provide a
safe living, learning environment
lies primarily with the Public
Safety Department," explains Dr.
David Tedjeske, director of Public
Safety.

Questions have been raised as to
why the service is not extended
off campus, but Public Safety
Officers did not respond to our
calls for requested information.

The Clarion Call also wanted to
determine why Public Safety
decided to reinstate the service
after originally announcing that
the service had been eliminated
earlier in the semester.

Earlier this year, The Clarion
Call had expressed concern over
the elimination of the service
because of concern for the safety
of students.

Last year, there were several
assaults on female students during
the second semester of school and
students were both cautious and
concerned for their safety.

Many schools in the state system
do provide an escort service 24
hours a day as a precautionary
measure.

If students feel that they need to
be escorted and have reason to be
fearful or concerned for their safe-
ty they may request an escort from
the office.

If you need to be escorted
from anywhere on campus,
contact the Public Safety office
at x2111.

Five Clarion faculty attended NCA conference

by A.A. Thompson

Clarion Call

Assistant News Editor

Five Clarion University speech

communication and theatre faculty

members attended the 85 th annual

National Communication

Association (NCA) conference.

The conference held on
November 4-7, in Chicago, IL, had
the theme "Coloring Outside the
Lines." The conference, which is
the largest and oldest conference
for Communication professionals,

hosted 4,000 people.

Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Dean of
the Annenberg School for
Communication at the University
of Pennsylvania, was the keynote
speaker.

The Clarion University faculty
that was in attendance included:
Dr. Myma Foster-Kuehn, chair of
the speech communication and
theatre department; Dr. Kristin
Marshall, associate professor of
speech communication and the-
atre; Dr. Solomon Obotetukudo,

assistant professor of speech com-
munication and theatre; Dr. Anand
Rao, assistant professor of speech
communication and theatre; and
Dr. Hwei-Jen Yang, associate pro-
fessor of speech communication
and theatre.

These five faculty members
chaired discussions, served on pan-
els, and presented papers of their
own.

Other communication profes-
sionals, not only from the U.S., had
the opportunity to share ideas and

offer feedback through these pan-
els and paper presentations. A
wide range of topics were covered
from long-distance relationships to
the rhetoric of science.

"It was a unique and wonderful
opportunity to present some of my
work and receive feedback from
people from all over the world and
notable scholars," said Rao.

The NCA also supports the work
of communication scholars, six
journals, and hosts addidonal con-
ferences throughout the year.

Clarion to host BSGP Conference

by Kristie Linden
^ Clarion CaH Staff Writer

President Leslie Suhr announced
Monday, Clarion will host the
Board of Student Government
Presidents Conference. The con-
ference begins on Friday,
November 12, with a reception at
President Reinhard's house at
6:00 p.m.

Student Senate voted Monday
night to recognize Sigma Tau
Delta, an honorary fraternity.

Senator Bobbi Bothell made the
motion during the Committee on
Rules, Regulations and Policies
report. Bothell said that Sigma
Tau Delta is not requesting funds,
they would only like to be recog-
nized.

A representative from Sigma Tau
Delta said that the organization
plans to fund itself through vari-
ous fundraisers.

In unfinished business,
Parliamentarian Mike Managieri
took last week's motion for the

allocation of funds to the Black
Student Union (BSU) off the
table.

A motion was made last week to
allocate $3,250 from the Capital
Account for the purchase of a
computer.

During the discussion, it became
evident the allocation did not

include the cost of a printer, and
the amount of money would need
to be increased.

When the motion was brought to
the floor, Senator Bill Isbir moved
to amend the motion to $3,838.94
for the purchase of a computer
and printer for BSU. The motion
passed as amended.

Simple Assault

Three unknown males entered

National Jewish Book Month celebrated

by William Buchanan
Clarion Call Contributing Writer

The centuries old tradition of Jewish
scholarship and book publishing is the
focus of a display celebrating National
Jewish Book Month during
November 4-December 4 at Carlson
Library of Clarion University.

Designed and installed by graduate
students in the Department of Library
Science's Multicultural Library
Sources and Services class, the dis-
play features a variety of items from
the Carlson Library collection, includ-
ing contemporary publishing for chil-
dren and adults by Jewish authors as
well as reproductions of historically
important Judaic texts.

The current display in Carlson
Library is augmented by various arti-
facts of Jewish culture, including a

dreidel (a child's toy traditionally
associated with Hanukkah), a meno-
rah (a candelabrum used during
Hanukkah celebrations) and a
yarmulke (a headpiece traditionally
worn during Jewish religious and cer-
emonial occasions). The artifacts are
on loan from Dr. Rashelle Karp,
Associate Vice President for
Academic Affairs, and Mr. Benjamin
Rose, a graduate student in library sci-
ence.

"The students have created a visual-
ly appealing and intellectually rich
display of Jewish culture in this exhib-
it," said Ms. Connie Gamaluddin,
head of reference at Carlson Library.
"In addition to alerting the larger
Clarion community to this important
but little known annual observance,
the display has provided students with
an excellent exercise in developing

Quesenberry spouts about "The Endangered
Species Act and American Indian Rights"

by Maria Massie
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Clarion University's Dr.
LeGene Quesenberry, associate
professor of finance, wrote an
article entitled "The Endangered
Species Act and American Indian
Rights" which was published by
the International Business Law
Journal.

The article discusses how the
Endangered Species Act is com-
ing in conflict with the preserva-
tion of traditions, basic rights, and
the survival of the Makah Tribe of
the Pacific Northwest whom are
protected by the 1855 Treaty.
This treaty protects their right to
hunt gray whales.

To preserve whaling, specifical-
ly as a right in their treaty with the
federal government, the Makah
tribe included this provision.

Today a conflict arises because
many whales are on the endan-
gered species list such as the
Greenland right whales also
known as bowhead whales.

The U.S., as a member of the
International Whaling

Commission, tried to ensure the
Inuiat tribe their right to hunt.
The US had to vote for an
increase of Japan and U.S.S.R.'s

quotas of the number of whales to
be hunted from 763 to 6,444. In
return, the two countries voted for
the Inuiats to hunt 146 bowheads.
In essence, this also conflicts with
international community laws.

Even though the elders of the
Makah tribe are not in complete
agreement, the loss of a right to
hunt does affect their survival.

Due to their location in the
Pacific Northwest, it has been dif-
ficult for the Makah tribe to pur-
sue other means of employment.
Some financial opportunities
have been in tobacco sales, gam-
bling casinos, and the sale of nat-
ural resources. Unfortunately,
these options are not available to
the Makah.

One may suggest going to the
big city and "finding a job". This
is not a possibility that often
comes to mind because of the
overall effects that leaving their
home will place on their commu-
nities.

For Native Americans, the issue
is not solely hunting but rather,
having the government allow
them to be "sovereign nations"
which Judge Marshall concluded
in his rulings of the Cherokee
Nation affairs.

Now a conflict between state

and federal government comes
into play.

For example, state regulations
concerning wildlife conservation
has been permitted and enforced
against Native Americans even
when their treaties protect these
rights.

These changes affect tribal tra-
ditions. By taking away their cus-
toms and land, this has caused
problems in the preservation of
their heritage.

Dr. Quesenberry is originally
from Montana and at the age of
15, began her studies at
Washington State University for 3
years. She received a BA in
English.

Afterwards, she received a law
degree from the Gonzaga School
of Law. During 1984 and 1985
she worked as a law clerk in Hong
Kong.

Later, she joined the army and
served as Chief of Criminal
Justice in South Korea and Chief
of Labor and Law at an army
depot.

Lifestyles
CU Theatre "measures" out the entertainment

by Jeff Chaffee

Clarion Call

Assistant Lifestyles Editor

The second play of the Clarion
University Thame 1999-2000 season,
William Shakespeare's "Measure fa-

Measure", is in production this week, 8
pm tonight through Saturday at the
Marwick-Boyd Little Theatre. And
what a second show it is.

For some who may have been put off
a bit by the season opener,
"Celebration"
(myself included),
"Measure" is a
comfy return to a
more typical kind
of play. And it's
by one of drama's
great masters to
boot Even
though the subject
matter may be a
little dated, and
the characters abit
misplaced in
modem tum-of-
the-century think-
ing, file story is
one of love
through adversity,
with a message of
"be true to your-
self' and "it's a

tion of "Measure for Measure." it's important for

those less familiar with the Bard of
Avon (that'd be Shakespeare for those
keeping score) to get to the show in
plenty of time to glance over the scene-
by-scene plot summary. Fur those too
rushed, here it is in super-Reader's
Digest-Condensed version: Claudio
and his wife-to-be Juliet are in trouble
in Vienna for "having relations" before
their marriage. The fair duke of Vienna
(superbly acted by Dr. Ralph Leary)
decides to "leave town" and vest power
in Vienna's most upstanding citizen,
Angeto (Chris Taylor). Angelo decides
that the punishment for Claudio's 'for-
nication" should be death. The duke, in
the meantime, floats about the town in
the disguise of a monk, as a way of
being gone from Vienna but still there
to see bow things go in his absence.
There's many ups and downs to the
play, far more than I can list here.

The cast had quite a wonderful world
to work in. As usual, Edward Powers
is to be highly commended for his
spectacular set design. At once a city
street, a monastery, a nunnery, and a
jail, the tiered set is ornamented only in
a minimalist way, with creative lighting
and eerie faces about the top buttresses.
Even the floor plan was wonderful,
harkening back to the decorations of

Elizabethan cathedrals. Adding to this
amazing environment were the stylistic
designs of Myra Bullington, costumer
extrcrdinare. Drawing inspiration from
gothie themes and designs by Versace,
Ms. Bullington created wonderful cos-
tumes. And the cast was nothing to
pass off. Also to be commended for
fine performances are dual actors and
actresses Katie Kerr, Jonathan Torn,
and Casey Bowser. It's never easy to

be two people at once, but they did it
with flair. Also on my "great job" list
are Alexander V. Thompson all the way
to Seana Simon, the prudent soon-to-be
nun Isabella

In short, "Measure for Measure" will
simply leave you wanting more
Shakespeare! With a fine cast to fill it
out and an excellent crew to set the
stage, Shakespeare will always be wel-
come in Clarion.

Lit sheds light on their success

by Keith B. Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

■ ■•I > lllMlll

This past Sunday, I had the
opportunity to sit down and talk
with the band Lit, who played here
at Clarion later that night for the
MTV Campus Invasion Tour.
Although being very starstruck
(not to mention also being the envy
of 95% of the country's teenage
girls), I managed to keep my ner-
vousness in check, and ask the
guys a few questions.

One topic that was interesting
was their experience at the debacle
that was Woodstock '99. A. Jay
Popoff said that they had a blast

though, considering they played on
the first day of the festival, before
the riots.

"It was a really cool experience;
but it is also really embarrassing
for this country, that our big music
fest turned so bad," commented
Popoff.

One thing I was curious to know
is 'why are they so enamored by
the "Vegas, martinis, and
Cadillacs" image?' Guitar player
Jeremy Popoff (A. Jay's brother)
had this to say: "Vegas is like
Disneyland for adults. It's just fun
to gamble and have a good time
there."

Lit was also very excited about

the touring experience with
Garbage, particularly drummer
Butch Vig. They expressed their
love for his work, and summed up
the tour with one word: "Cozy."

Lit enjoys the 'live' experience
overall. Drummer Allen

Shellenberger said "It's really great
to see the showmanship aspect of
rock coming back." Jeremy con-
curred, saying "Even if you don't
like guys like Kid Rock you have
to admit that they're making rock
fun again."

Lit says there are no concrete
decisions for the future of their
music. "We just want to let it go,
and see what happens," said A. Jay.

Nationally known writer and Clarion graduate speaks

by Matthew May

Don't forget your roots. Remember
that if a tree forgot its roots, despite its
massive size, it would surely fall and
die. One person who has not forgot-
ten his roots, despite his success, is
novelist, playwright, screenwriter
and essayist Randall Silvis. The
Clarion County native and Clarion
University graduate announced the
world premier of his new novel,
Mysticus, in Hart Chapel Saturday
night The reading and book signing
sponsored by the Clarion University
Alumni Association is a declaration
that he has not forgotten his roots.

With a long list of literary accom-

plishments and rewards, Silvis is an
incredibly accomplished writer in
several areas of literature. Also, he is
a distinguished educator. He has
taught creative writing at writers'
conferences throughout the country
and at various universities, including
Clarion. Currently, he continues to
teach in the graduate writing program
at Seton Hill College while managing
to write. Despite all his achieve-
ments, Silvis remains humble.

Amazingly, Randall Silvis did not
write his first story with the intent for
others to read until the age of twenty-
one. Remembering back before he
started writing, Silvis said, "I used to
tell stories all the time, I used to make
things up all the time; I didn't realize

I was a storyteller. The signs were
there. I missed them and so did
everyone else." Luckily for Silvis
and his readers, he eventually real-
ized his talent and embraced it
The road to first being published for
Silvis, as it is with most writers, was
a long and difficult one. It took him
ten years of writing and contacting
publishers before he was finally pub-
lished. Silvis said, "I must have writ-
ten a hundred stories during that time.
It's really a crapshooL You never
know unless you know editors per-
sonally, and when you live in
Clarion, you normally don't" When
he was finally published, it was the
stories that he had written only a year
prior to the publication that were pub-

lished 'Depending on how you look
at it. .it took me ten years or one year
to get published," Silvis joked
Receiving a warm welcome at the

world premier of Mysticus, Silvis not
only shared his long awaited novel,
but also a piece of himself.
Beginning with an excerpt from his
next novel, which will not take
twelve years to write since it is
already finished, he smoothly
brought the audience into his world.
He followed it up with an essay and
even poetry. Silvis is not known for
his poetry because in the past he has
not written much. However, he said
that he had written forty poems in the
last year, although he does not know
why this had come about now. With
a masterful blend of humor and seri-
ousness in his poetry, 'poet' could
easily be added to Silvis' list of cre-
dentials. Ending the evening with a
reading from Mysticus, the events
moved over to Founder's Hall for the
book signing and casual conversation
with his readers.

Between the ages of nineteen and
thirty, Silvis said that he traveled and
lived in various parts of the country
from California to New England.
Out of all the places that Randall
Silvis could choose to live and raise
his family, he chose his roots; he
chose Clarion County.

The frogs have invaded my home

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist

I'm wondering if any of
you readers out there have
noticed any suspicious
behavior on the part of frogs.
I ask because the ones at my
house are definitely up to
something.

I live in South Florida,
which has a hot, moist,
armpit-like climate that is
very favorable for life in
general. Everything down
here is already alive, or
about to be. You could leave
your toaster out on your lawn
overnight, and by morning it

would have developed legs, a
tail, a mouth, tentacles, etc.,
and it would be prowling
around looking for slower,
weaker appliances to prey
on.

So I am used to wildlife. I
am used to the fact that, as I
walk from my car to the front
door - striding briskly to pre-
vent fungus from growing on
my body - I will routinely
pass lizards, snakes, spiders,
snails and mutant prehistoric
grasshoppers large enough
for the Lone Ranger to saddle
up and ride into the sunset on
("Hi-ho, Silver, AWAYY-
EEEEEIIIKES!").

My yard has also always
had plenty of frogs. Until
recently, these were plump,
non-aggressive frogs who
just sat there, looking pen-
sively off into the distance,
thinking frog thoughts ("How
am I supposed to reproduce?
I appear to lack organs!").

But lately my yard has
become infested with a whole
new brand of frogs - smaller,
quicker, junior-welterweight
frogs that are extremely jit-
tery, as though they spent
their tadpole phase swim-
ming around in really strong
espresso. And for some rea-
son these frogs desperately
want to GET INSIDE MY
HOUSE. They hide in cran-
nies on my front stoop, wait-
ing, and when I open the
front door, suddenly HOP
HOP HOP HOP HOP, the
stoop turns into the
Oklahoma Land Rush, except
that instead of hardy pioneers
racing to claim homesteads,
there are hordes of small,
caffeine-crazed frogs bound-
ing into my living room,
moving far too fast for the
human foot to stomp on.

The eerie thing is, within
seconds, the invading frogs
have ALL DISAPPEARED.
Some go under the sofa, but
many seem to simply vanish.
I think maybe they've devel-
oped some kind of camou-
flage, so they can blend into
the living-room environment
by taking on the appearance
of a carpet stain or (if they
are really organized) a piano.
All I know is, the frogs go
into my house, and they do
not come out, which means

that there are now, by conser-
vative estimate, thousands of
frogs hiding somewhere in
my living room. This makes
me nervous. I'm wondering
if maybe it could be a plague.
I say this because my wife
is Jewish, and each year her
family comes to our house to
celebrate Passover with a tra-
ditional Seder feast. I am not

Jewish, but I always join in,
on the theory that you should
embrace as many religions as
possible, because you never
know. You could die and
find yourself in an afterlife
facing the eternal judgment
of, for example, L. Ron
Hubbard. So I participate in
the Seder; in fact, at our
house I always make the tra-
ditional matzoh balls, using
an ancient Presbyterian
recipe. (The matzoh balls
symbolize the Old Testament
story about how the
Israelites, after following
Moses all over the desert,
finally came to a place where
there was chicken soup.)

Anyway, there's this one
point in the Seder ceremony
when we all dip our fingers

watch for more specials in the Clarion Call

into our glasses of ancient
traditional Manischewitz
wine, and then we drop 10
wine droplets onto our
plates, while we say out loud,
the names of the Ten Plagues
of Egypt, which are: blood,
darkness, blight, slaying of
the first born, wild beasts,
lice, boils, locusts, hail and -
you guessed it - Leonardo
DiCaprio.

No seriously, one of the
plagues is frogs. So I'm
thinking that maybe, during
the most recent Seder, when
we were saying the plague
names, we failed to make
adequate wine droplets for
the frogs. My concern is that
this might have violated
some clause in the Old
Testament, such as the Book
of Effusions, chapter four,
verse seven, line 6, which
states: "And yea thou shalt
BE sureth to maketh a GOOD
frog droplet, for if thou shalt
NOT, forsooth thou SHALT
getteth a BIG plague of
frogs, and they SHALT be of
the JUNIOR-welterweight
division, and they WILL
hideth UNDER thine sofa."
Or maybe there's some other
cause. Maybe it's a Y2K
issue, and these are non-com-
pliant frogs. Whatever it is, I
don T t like it. I don't like sit-
ting in my living room at
night, watching the TV.. .and
maybe waiting for some
secret signal. Perhaps you
think I am crazy. Fine. Then
perhaps you can explain to
me why, when the frogs
croak in the Budweiser com-
mercial, my piano croaks
back.

'Haunted Hill' doesn't stand a ghost of a chance

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer #

Ah, the lure of an easy paycheck.
There's something completely
enticing about making lots of
money for just a little work in
exchange. I'm positive that gaining
a fast buck was the motivating fac-
tor for talented actors such as Oscar
winner Geoffrey Rush, Famke
Jannsen, Taye Diggs, and Chris
Kattan to sign onto 'The House on
Haunted Hill,' the new slash-'em-
up stinker from director William
Malone.

Believe it or not, I don't especial-
ly enjoy raking films over the coals.
Being a movie buff first and a
reviewer second, I always try my
hardest to pick out the best aspects
that a film has to offer. Still, movies
like 'Haunted Hill' are so astonish-
ingly bad that I have a hard time
finding anything nice to say about
them at all. I should have expected
as much, though. It's a pretty bad
sign when a director's last high-pro-
file project was co-writing the
screenplay for 'Universal Soldier
2'.

At the bequest of sadistic million-

aire Steven Price (Rush), five com-
plete strangers gather for a birthday
party held at the remains of a former
asylum for the criminally insane.
Over sixty years ago, the asylum
was run by the evil Dr. Vandacutt,
who killed more patients than he
cured. One night, the inmates ran
amok, killed the evil doctor, and
perished in a terrible fire that gutted
the asylum.

Price, who made his fortune as the
owner of a suing of amusement

parks, tells his guests (Diggs,
Kattan, Ali Larter, Peter Gallagher,
and Bridgette Wilson) that if they
make it through the night without
being killed by the ghosts suppos-
edly haunting the asylum, they'll
each be paid $1 million. Price's
motivation is that one of his guests
might go insane and kill Price's
unfaithful wife, Evelyn (Jannsen),
thereby saving him a pricey divorce
settlement.
Every line of dialogue in 'Haunted

Famke Janssen and Geoffrey Rush star in the tepid 'House
on Haunted Hill.'

Hill' sounds as if it had been lifted
from another film, along with all its
uninspired characters. "Saturday
Night Live" cast member Chris
Kattan is funny as the building's
paranoid owner, but he's basically a
one-note character. Where is it
written in the "Big Book of Horror
Move Rules" that there must always
be a character that says nothing but,
"Don't you understand? We're all
going to die!" The same goes for
Ms. Larter, who's stuck doing my
least favorite prerequisite slasher
film scene, wandering alone in the
dark saying, "Come on! This isn't
funny anymore!".

There Isn't even the slightest tinge
of imagination connected with the
new version of 'Haunted Hill',
which is a remake of a 1957 horror
classic starring Vincent Price.
Whereas the Price version relied
more on subtlety and dark humor to
propel the story, the new 'Haunted
Hill' goes for all-out, in-your-face
shock tactics and completely sacri-
fices any hope of character develop-
ment. 'Haunted Hill' tells us noth-
ing about the characters being
slaughtered left and right, never
revealing why any of them are so

desperate for money that they'd be
willing to stare death itself in the
eye.

It's hard for me to believe that just
one script could have so many obvi-
ous plot holes. For instance, if
everyone inside the asylum was
killed in a huge fire and the asylum
had been abandoned since that time,
why weren't there any signs of fire
damage anywhere? Also, why is
Price trying to kill his wife one
minute, then risking his life to save
hers the next? And, as long as I'm
griping, would it have killed Peter
Gallagher to bother changing bis
expression once or twice during the
first hour of the movie?

Ihe only saving grace of 'Haunted
Hill* are its creepy visuals and
numerous scary moments, both of
which could wind up making this
movie a post-Halloween favorite.
However, a few frightening
moments here and there don't make
up for a terrible film. Those who
are looking for a light scare may
leave the theater happy, but anyone
who wants a horror film mat does
more than just scratch the surface of
terror will wish this 'House' had
been condemned.

Eagles snatch 44-41 Senior Day thriller in three overtimes

by John C. Crawford

It may have taken the longest
game of the season to get it done,
but the Golden Eagles team final-
ly claimed its first win in the
PSACWest. Clarion hosted Lock
Haven University this Saturday,
which was Senior Day. The
Eagles took the 44-41 0T win, in
a game marked by cold winds, hot
tempers, and heavy hits.

On the second play of the game,
LHU quarterback Ed Galiczinski
fumbled. Clarion's offense failed
to convert from the Lock Haven
15, but K Frank Van Wert (3/3 FG)
knocked it home from 40 yards
out.

LHU's next series ended in sim-
ilar fashion, when Clarion LB
Mike Maguire forced another
Galiczinski fumble. Four plays
later Eagle QB Adam Almashy
(12/24, 146 yards, 2 TDs) hit
Justin Sickeri for a 10-yard score.
Clarion led 10-0 with 11:35 to
play in the first.

Clarion appeared ready to put
Lock Haven away. LHU failed to
convert on their first third-down
of the game. But, Clarion FS
Chris Janson drew an unsports-
manlike conduct penalty, after
screaming at the Lock Haven
player.

While the penalty riled the
sparse crowd at Memorial
Stadium, it also gave the Bald
Eagles a new set of downs.
Galiczinski (16/25 219 yards, 3
TDs) made a connection over the
middle to TE Freddie Joye. Joye
split the safeties and ran in the 57-
yard TD.

Clarion's offense answered
back, though. Doug Dudash (20
runs, 1 17 yards, 2 TDs) capped a
five play drive with a 54 yard run.
Clarion led 17-7.

Lock Haven went back down the
field. FB A.J. Anderson broke an
off-tackle run into the Clarion sec-
ondary. The 42-yard run would
have been longer had Anderson
not slipped. Galiczinski later

threw a seven yard TD pass to TE
Jason Kundtz to keep LHU in the
game 17-14.

Both teams traded punches but
did no more scoring in the first
quarter. During the second, LHU
running back Jaime Allen (28 att.
159 yards, 1 TD) broke a 57-
yarder, only to have the scoring
chance spoiled by the Clarion
defense. With several Eagles pur-
suing, Galiczinski grounded the
ball on third down. But, Lock
Haven K Matt Mapes put it
through from 47 yards.

Clarion drove to the LHU 29,
before a Dudash fumble put Lock
Haven back in business. The Bald
Eagles went the length of the field.
Galiczinski capped the drive with
a 20-yard QB draw out of the shot-
gun formation. LHU held its first
lead, 24-17.

Clarion gave the ball back right
away. WR David Hilderbrand
fumbled on the CU 25. But, the
Eagles defense held LHU to a
field goal to end the half. Lock
Haven took a 27-17 lead to the
lockers.

Both teams went three-and-out
to open the second half. A 50 yard
punt return by Kervin Charles was
called back on a clipping call.
Clarion started a comeback, going
60 yards on 11 plays, with Van
Wert knocking in another field
goal. The third quarter expired
without much other action.

Clarion opened the fourth in the
red zone, following a 70-yard
push. Forced into a fourth-and-
four, coach Malen Luke called
Demetric Gardner's number. The
Eagles ran a sweep right, bulldoz-
ing Gardner a path. With one man
to beat, Gardner (14 runs, 61
yards, 3 rec. 49 yards, 1 TD) dove
over both the Lock Haven defend-
er and the pylon to knot the game
up at 27-27.

"We were down by seven, and
there was blowing wind in our
face," said coach Luke of the deci-
sion not to go for the field goal.
"The kids were confident they
could get it."

Both teams wore out the middle
of the field, but could not break
the deadlock before the end of
regulation. The game went into
overtime and Clarion went for the
throat on the first play. Almashy
found Roosevelt Benjamin in the
back of the end zone for a 25-yard
TD.

Clarion looked to put Lock
Haven away. On a third-and-one,
LHU came out with three tight
ends. The Eagles were sucked
into run defense, and Galiczinski
found Jason Kundtz open in the
left side of the end zone.

Lock Haven pounded Clarion in
the second overtime. Jamie Allen
ran for all four of LHU's plays, to
put the Bald Eagles up 41-34.
Clarion's offense took the field,
and was forced into fourth-and-15.
A desperate scramble by Almashy
salvaged Clarion's hopes, as he
barely made the chains move.
Doug Dudash punched it in to
keep CU's hopes afloat.

Clarion opened the third OT by
pushing to the Lock Haven nine.
But, a sack by Lock Haven LB
John MacFarland forced Clarion
to kick a field goal. Lock Haven
went to a short pass and run. But,

Jaime Allen fumbled while run-
ning right. Kervin Charles picked
the ball up, and ran 62 yards, seal-
ing the 4441 victory.

Despite a bad wind, chilly
weather, and questionable officiat-
ing, the Eagles held tight to take
the win. "I think that we really
should' ve demolished that team,"
said coach Luke.
Clarion improves to 2-7 and 1-4

in the PSAC West.

Running back Demetric Gardner takes on a Lock Haven
defender on his way to the endzone. Gardner had 6 1 yards
on 14 carries. He also had a touchdown to tie the game late
in the fourth quarter to send the game to overtime. Clarion
won there first conference game of the year in triple over
time. Clarion now faces California next week for there
season finale.

A look ahead

Clarion will travel to California
University of Pa. to finish the 1999
PS AC football season. Cal brings a
5-5 overall record, with a 2-3
record in the PSAC West division.
Cal has the top rushing attack in the
conference averaging 304.7 yards
per game. Until the last two games
Cal was #1 in the nation.

Cal is recovering from its second
bad loss in as many weeks. Against
IUP two weeks ago RB Wesley
Cates was held below a 100 yards
for the first time this year. Cal was
shutout 30-0 by Shippensburg last
week.

Pacing the Cal attack is Cates, a
sophomore. Cates has 1,852 yards
on 283 carries. He has scored 22
TD's. Cates had 130 yards against
Shippensburg.

Cal's passing attack is its weak
point. On 177 passing plays this
year, Cal has suffered 22 sacks, the
worst rate in the PSAC. Cal's only
serious aerial threat is WR Jim
Kurbina, a senior, who has made 47
receptions for 879 yards and five
TDs. Against Shippensburg, how-
ever the, Cal attack stalled com-
pletely. Using three different quar-
terbacks, Cal gave up two picks,
and made only one more catch.

Clarion will counter with an up
the field attack. The Eagles defense
has made 32 sacks. Leading the
rush is Mike Maguire, with seven.
Brett Wiley keys the defense, hav-
ing made 108 tackles this year.

RB Doug Dudash has come into
his own in the last two weeks. Of
his 474 yards on the season, 214
have been in the last two games
against West Chester and Lock
Haven.

Kicker Frank VanWert was
named PSAC West offensive play-
er of the week for his contribution
against Lock Haven. VanWert was
perfect on five XP's and three FGs.
He also knocked five kickoffs into
the endzone, including two touch-
backs.

What's the key to this game?
Coach Luke said, "We got to con-
tinue to move the ball on offense."

Dallas tries to retain the Cup in the wild NHL West

by Bob Kotnik
C|arton Call Staff Writer

In the Western Conference, the
Dallas Stars look like strong candi-
dates to repeat as champions. They
lost some of age by letting go Pat
Verbeek, Dave Reid, and Craig
Ludwig, but they still have iron-
man Guy Carboneau around to
anchor the defense. Loss of back-
up goal tender Robbie Turek could
hurt, but only if Belfour doesn't
stay healthy. The rest of the Pacific
Division will spend the year trying
to catch the Stars but that doesn't
mean there isn't talent there. The
Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and the
Phoenix Coyotes both boast
incredible offensive talents. The
Ducks have Paul Kariya and
Teemu Selanne while the Coyotes
can counter with Jeremy Roenick
and Keith Tkachuk. Give the edge
there to the Mighty Ducks.
Unfortunately for the Ducks, the
Coyotes are loaded with talented
defense man which could pose a
problem. The San Jose Sharks are
being predicted to be the NHL's
most improved team. Solid two-
way player Nicklas Sundstrom was

an excellent pick up to complement
younger stars like Jeff Friesen and
Patrick Morleau. The Sharks will
need a bigger contribution from
Owen Nolan if they want to hang
with the. big boys come playoff
time. 'The Kings have a new coach,
Andy Murray, and a new superstar,
Zigmund Palffy, that may make
them better than last year.
The Central Division has the
Detroit Red Wings who are off to
the best start in the league this year.
They should still be on top of the
division by the end of the season.
Unfortunately for the Wings, they
aren't getting any younger, and no
longer have the lust of the defend-
ing champions. But they still have
Steve Yzerman, Nickalus
Lindstrum, and Sergei Federov so
they could make a run at the cup
once again. The St. Louis Blues
are strong, but not strong enough to
overtake Detroit. New goal tender
Roman Turek is a hot prospect but
has little experience. Chris Pranser
and Ai Macinnis still anchor an
impressive defensive core.
The Nashville Predators are in their
second year of existence. They had
an impressive 98-99 debut, battling

for a playoff spot before running
out of gas late in the year. The
once mighty Chicago Blackhawks
should be a little better with the
addition of Wendell Clark. He will
help Doug Gilmour and Tony
Amonte score but can they stop
anybody on defense? Probably not
look for them to be in last place.

The Northwest Division has the
most Canadian teams with the
Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton
Oilers, and Calgary Flames.
Unfortunately for them and all the
Canadian hockey fans, the only
American team, the Colorado
Avalanche .should dominate the
division. Even though they lost
Theo Fleury and Valeri Kamensky,
they still have Joe Sakic and three-
time Stanley cup winner Patrick
Roy. The Oilers have some young
talent on the ice this year.
Forwards Mike Grier and Doug
Weight are both solid players and
defense man Roman Hamrilik has
considerable talent. The problem
though, is that the Oilers lack the
star quality that the Avalanche has.
The Flames and Canucks will duke
it out for the bottom of the division.

Womens basketball trying to build after
a disappointing 9-17 record a year ago

by J. P. Kenney
Clarion Call sports editor ^

The Clarion University Women's
Basketball team is back to try to
improve on their 9-17 record a year
ago. The women are led by Gie
Parsons. She has been a coach at
Clarion for 10 years, with a winning
percentage of 58.3%.

Gie Parsons will have her hands
full with losing three starters from
last years team. Statistically ,they
lose 30 points a game and 14
rebounds per game. Parson does
have two starters returning. Senior
Miesha Henry will provide leader-
ship and a 12.2 ppg average from a
year ago. Another lady Golden
Eagle returning is Melissa Yearous.
She is a (5-11) Junior who led the
team a year ago with 46 steals. Two
other letter winners return from last
year's squad. Christina Werries is a
(5-9) junior guard who averaged 4.1
ppg. Jaimie Soboleski also returns
for her senior season at guard.

The team is very young and expe-
rienced. On the roster ,the Golden
Eagles have twelve new players.
There are nine freshman on the team
this year. This includes Danielle
Bonis, a guard who averaged over
twenty points a game in her senior
year. Other freshman include Jen
Duhnke who scored 1,001 points in
high school despite missing her
junior year with a broken leg.
Another talented freshman is Alicia
Marshall out of Gateway in

Pittsburgh. She averaged 22 points a
game and was named to the
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Fab Five
team. The rest of the excellent fresh-
man crop are Allison Stodart, and
Tameka Washington both who are
guards. The other freshman are
Courtney Willman, Kristin Wiehe,
Erin Stinnette and Kenyata Dawson
at the forward spot

"I think we are going to take a step
up from the last of couple of years,"
Parsons said. "We would like to be
competitive in the conference and
make the playoffs. I don't care if it is
as the No. 1 seed or tied for the No.
4 seed. Once you are there, anything
can happen."

Clarion is trying to build back up to
where they were in the early 90's
when they won 5 straight PSAC
West titles. The Clarion women will
open up play at the Clarion Classic in
Tropin gym on November 19th.
Conference play begins when
Clarion travels to Edinboro January
12th. The team to beat this season
for the Golden Eagles still remains
to be IUP. IUP has four returning
starters from last years squad. This
game should be a pivotal one for the
women's team. They should be able
to get a good barometer of where
they are at on January 22nd when
Clarion travels to IUP.

The league remains competitive
just like a year ago , the Golden
Eagles will have to learn first how to
keep pace in the conference.

On Sunday, October 18, Clarion
University students embarked on a
paintball trip to Briar Hill Paintball
in Cooks Forest Doug Knepp,
Intramural/ Recreation Director
sponsored the trip, which was open
to all students. Students for the
R.O.C. along with other Clarion
University students participated in
this gruelish adventure.

These combat-ready adventurers,
divided into two teams (Blue vs
Yellow), hiked a half-mile into the
woods where there were three dif-
ferent fields. The first was made up
of an enormous chunk of land that
surrounds a huge, ten foot deep
ravine in the middle of the field.
Three bridges were built over this
ravine which provided easy access
to either side. The Blue team
reigned supreme on this field until
the team strategist, Justin Shields,
caused the team's ultimate demise
with his "Everyone Go Left" strate-

gy-

At the next field, the paintball

frenzy was intensified. This field
was " speedball oriented," with
very limited boundaries and barri-
ers plus a giant hill to the one side.
This hill had two ledges with dirt
bluff's, that provided excellent
"sniping" opportunities for any
player. Each game played on this
field became a brutal struggle for
this hillside. Those players that got
stuck on the ground level of the
field were unable to survive long,
with no way to shoot up high at out
of range players.

The third and final field to be
played was called the "Closet"
The Closet had hardly any cover
except for small trees with low
hanging foliage and thinning brush.
The size of the field was no more
than fifty yards long and wide. The
last two games of straight elimina-
tion were played on this and Blue
team was victorious both times.
Overall, everyone had a great time

A big fish in
a little pond

by Kristen Conway
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Born and raised in Dubois,
PA. Bob Carlson ventured
straight out of high school and
joined the Air Force. Bob was
a promising athlete in his time.
His years in the Air Force
helped him build skills both as a
man and a top grade wrestler.
During his junior year at Utah
State, Carlson was asked to take
over as head wrestling coach.
He accepted the position giving
up his last two years of eligibil-
ity for a chance to teach what he
knew best, how to wrestle.
Carlson coached wrestling at
Utah State for five years before
shifting careers towards a high-
er level. His last 14 years of his
19 year stay at Utah State saw
him as the associate athletic
director and started a career that
he would love for a long time to
come.

In 1987, with the death of his
father, Carlson and his family
made the move back to western
PA to begin a new and different
life. At this time Clarion
University was in danger of
dropping their wrestling pro-
gram, but fortunately that never
came to pass. Carlson began
his career at Clarion University
as the Associate Athletic
Director. Changes began imme-
diately when Carlson stepped
on campus. The changes were
gradual, but definitely notice-
able.

In 1987, 21% of the student
athletes were female, currently
the number has risen to 40%,
nearly double! Every year the
Athletic Department strives for
higher goals allowing for more
money to be contributed to the

Captain Loomis Inn

-Monday night - Football with Wings
• Tuesdays - Tacos

- Wednesday - Pony Night

- Weekend - Fun / Dancing

Athletic Scholarship Fund.
This year alone $500,000 will
be allotted for student athletes
at Clarion University, compare
that to the $267,000 in 1987.

When asked what one of his
most memorable moments as
Head Athletic Director at
Clarion University was, Carlson
said, "It would have to be 1996,
when our football team took us
all the way to the NCAA
Division II semi-finals, that was
a great season!" Carlson spoke
only good words of his 13 years
here at Clarion.

"My job does not possess a lot
of spot light. When a coach
wins, you get no credit, but
when a coach loses you get it
all. Coaches always come to
me to get things done and some-
times it means you step on a
few toes in the process," stated
Carlson. "But its all worth it in
the end."

One thing Bob Carlson
stressed was his need for disci-
pline and what that discipline
brings to the program as a
whole." Discipline is a form of
love, my dad always told me,"
said Carlson.

"Without a little discipline a
lot of things fall out of place."
There is no doubt that Carlson
loves his job, and that love for
his job is exactly what shows
when the community pulls
together to support Clarion
University's Athletic

Department and University as a
whole.

Clarion University was truly
lucky when they hooked this
big fish (Bob Carlson). There is
no doubt in my mind that this
outdoors man and excellent
sportsman has changes this lit-
tle pond for the better.

"When did Kevin Garnett
slam dunking a basketball
become worth more than
a heart surgeon doing
open heart surgery."

It is a shame how money has
taken over the sports world. You
know what I'm talking about those
ridiculous 100 million dollar con-
tracts. When did Kevin Garnett
slam dunking a basketball become
worth more than a heart surgeon
doing open heart surgery. It just
doesn't make sense!

Take another instance when
money just takes the luster away
from a sport Baseball had its infa-
mous strike in the 1994 season.
One of the major arguments
between both sides was a salary
cap. A salary cap would allow all
teams to spend the same amount on
players. But it was never passed.
So what happened? The New York
Yankees just won the World Series a
couple of weeks ago. They won it
with a payroll of 86 million dollars.
On the other hand you have teams
such as the Pittsburgh Pirates and
Milwaukee Brewers who have pay-
rolls of 12 million dollars. I'm not
a math major but that isn't even
close. How are teams supposed to
compete with each other if they
can't get the same caliber of play-
ers? Once again money hurts a
sport.

Back to what I mentioned before
is those outrageous contracts. It
seems that lately people don't seem

to mind it. What happened? Did a
$100 million for Shaqueal O' Neal
become okay all of a sudden.
Players do deserve millions of dol-
lars because of how much money
they bring in. But some contracts
are out of control. I think that a
good idea would be to give bonuses
to teams winning championships.
This could help motivate the play-
ers to play well to earn their money.
This way you can decrease the
salaries and make every thing based
on incentives. Chances of this hap-
pening is slim to none.

The best example of a good fair
contract is when Ricky Williams
signed with the New Orleans
Saints. He signed a contract and in
it was mainly all incentives. He
gets around 1.5 million dollars per
season and every accomplishment
he gets ,he earns more money. He
has the potential to earn $64 millon. -£ y
But the key thing about this is he
has to earn it. If your a football fan
you will know he is not doing that
good this year. But he is playing
hurt and grinding out as many yards
to earn his dollars.

What is nice about this incentive
contract system is that it helps moti-

Clarion Call Staff Writer

The women's volleyball team
just finished up their season last
week against Lock Haven. Lock
Haven dominated the match win-
ning by the scores of (15-5), (15-
4) and (15-8). Although Clarion
did get dominated they did have
some bright spots.

said, "Shannon Bower, our out-
side hitter, had 7 kills, and .263
hitting percentage, 2 aces, and 7
digs which was a bright spot for
the game."

Two other players who per-
formed well were Kerry
Hutchinson who had a hitting
percentage of .158 and AH
Graham had 19 assists and 4
digs.

Overall the Golden Eagles vol-
leyball team ended up 16-18 with
a 1-9 record in conference play.
Even though the women are not
going to PS AC's this semester
they are expecting a better sea-
son next year. The golden eagles
will be returning their senior
leader Jessa Canfield. Coach
Pennewill said she would be an
important factor as a leader for
this young team.

No tuition increase for rest of the year

Clarion Call News Editor

and

Jeff Say

Clarion Call Editor in Chief

The Board of Student
Government Presidents (BSGP)
met at clarion, November 1 2- 1 4 to
discuss various issues facing the
1 4 state system schools.

Chancellor James McCormick
addressed the board with informa-
tion concerning this semesters
labor dispute and informed the
board that there would not be a
tuition increase for the remainder
of the academic year.

Wayne Anderson/The Clarion Call

Clarion hosted the BSGP meeting last weekend. The 14 state
schools met to discuss issues affecting their universities.

McCormick also discussed the
negotiation process between the
State System and faculty and the
role that students played in it.

McCormick said that collective
bargaining did work. He also stat-
ed that the Board of Directors will
approve the agreement after the
faculty vote to approve it. The
chancellor also praised the faculty
saying that they dedicate their
lives to quality education.

The chancellor stated that
tuition will not be raised this aca-
demic year because of the budget.
He also said that the Board of
Governors requested the basic
appropriation for fiscal year July

2000. He said the appropriation
will be approved before July 1st.

McCormick stated where the
funds for the state system come
from. Fifty percent come from
tax payers and the General
Assembly. Student tuition, dona-
tions from alumni and cost control
make up the rest of the budget.
He said that the boards mission is
to keep quality education afford-
able.

In other business the Board of
Student Government Presidents
elected their issue of the year.
Each year, the Board selects an
issue that is affecting all campus-
es within the State System. The

Post Gazette Editor adresses students

by Leslie Suhr

Clarion Call

Managing Editor

Mr. Clarke Thomas, a senior
editor for the Pittsburgh Post
Gazette, spoke to students at
College Press Day on November
12, 1999. The theme for the third
annual event was Civil Discourse.
Thomas geared discussion
around enhancing civil discourse
within the media industry. He told
the audience that the public would
feel unification if they new what
was going on in the world, versus
fabrications of actual events.

He used the recent event of the
Monica Lewinsky scandal to
illustrate how offended the public
became and how the public then
criticized the media for their inef-
fectiveness in handling the nation-
al event.

"The public was offended by
these acts but was offended at
how the media handled the cover-
age," Thomas said.

The role of the college journal-
ist is to act as a gatekeeper for the
student body and to keep students
informed through responsibility.

He urged students to take a look
at who has the leadership role and
then bring the public into the
problem so they feel that they
have a part in developing civic
journalism.

"The newspaper should be a
leader in introducing civic jour-
nalism as a way to get civil dis-
course into the community,"
Thomas said.

Other issues facing the college
journalist are issues over anti
seminism and hate speech leaking
into the college newspaper.

Many schools have had many

letters to the editor submitted and
it is a decision of the staff as to
whether they run or not. But, infil-
itrating hate speech into a college
forum is allowing the paper to be
used as a forum to bring hate
speech into the column.

Others disagreed, saying that
opinion columns should be used
as open forums for the public to

state their views about issues.

Thomas stressed that if we do no
begin to act as responsible civic
journalists, then we have made no
mark in the fight against civil dis-
course that has been stemming
since the Civil Rights Movement.
"American culture has been
pushing to maintain homogeneity.
We need to be nice to each other
and maintain social justice," he
said.

Thomas is a Phi Beta Kappa
graduate of the University of
Kansas. He came to Pittsburgh in
1971 after serving for the
Hutchinson News Herald, the
Lincoln Journal, the Witchita
Eagle, and the Oklahoma City
Oklahoman Times.

As an editorial writer, Thomas
began to specialize in internation-
al affairs, local government, the
schools, social services, and the

arts and has become widely pub-
lished in this area.

In 1997, he was the recipient of
the Press Club of Western
Pennsylvania President's Award
in "recognition of outstanding
career achievement and contribu-
tions to western Pennsylvania
journalism." In 1998 he was the
recipient of the Good Government
award from the Greater Pittsburgh
League of Women Voters for his
writings "encouraging informed
participation in government."

Thomas previously taught jour-
nalism courses at the University
of Pittsburgh for nine years before
retiring. He has been a member of
the business Advisory Council for
the College of Business
Administration at Clarion
University.

give

college the chance it deserves

Where are the students this year? Probably at
home. It is amazing how many students go home
on the weekends. And, we aren't really sure why.

In high school, everyone couldn't wait to get out
on their own. Away from their hometown, away
from mom and dad, and a chance for something
new.

College is supposed to be the place to explore
new opportunities and take advantage of new expe-
riences. But, how is that possible when everyone
deserts campus every weekend?

Other schools make jokes about Clarion when
they come to visit, not so affectionately calling us
the "suitcase college of PA." True? Quite possibly.

Life here is really the same as home. We have
movie theaters, concerts, restaurants, bowling
alleys, and bars. Heck, we even have fraternity par-
ties!

Everyone always says that there isn't anything to
do on the weekends. Events aren't going to be
planned if there isn't a guarantee that there will be
some student support. But, without students here
on the weekends, not much can happen.

To all the students, we would say give college the
chance that it deserves. Get out from under the
guidance of your parents and find yourself. Your
parents will also be there when something happens,
and you need them the most.

But, for now, take the chance of making mistakes.
Meet new people. Make new friends. Experience
college on your own. Make it happen.

Your Views

Athlete responds to article

Dear Editor,

I am writing in response to the article entitled "A
Big Fish in a Little Pond" which appeared in last
week's issue of The Clarion Call. My reason for
writing is in regard to the lack of key information
throughout the article.

Being a two-year athlete here, I experienced inter-
action with the athletic department as well as "big
fish" Bob Carlson. I am aware of a number of rules
and regulations set forth by the NCAA as well as
Clarion University. Because of my participation and
familiarity, I couldn't help but feel obliged to provide
readers with what was missing from the article.

The article stated: "In 1987, 21% of the student
athletes were female, currently the number has risen
to 40%, nearly double!" This percentage is valid;
however, the rise in the number of female student
athletes is not a direct result of Clarion's Head
Athletic Director, Bob Carlson. The reason the per-
centage increased was due to a new NCAA regula-
tion which required schools' athletic programs to be
comprised of 60% male athletes and 40% female ath-
letes. It is this order by the NCAA that is responsi-
ble for the drastic rise in female athletes over the past
twelve years.

The article (and the interviewee) also ignores the
counter effect due to the increase in female athletes.
In other words, because the female athletes
increased, the male athlete count was forced to
decrease. The results of the increase were: set maxi-
mum male participants in a number of sports no mat-
ter how large or small the program was, and as a
result (to make the percentage 60% male, 40%
female) a number of male walk-ons were cut.
Reverse discrimination at its finest for a percentage
to rise.. .what an accomplishment!?

Secondly, I would like to focus on the section of the
article which stated: "Every year the Athletic
Department strives for higher goals allowing for
more money to be contributed to the Athletic
Scholarship Fund." What the article neglects to
inform is the money "contributed" is actually money
from 20-50 five dollar raffle tickets each athlete on
campus is required to sell. The farmed "Athletic
Scholarship Fund" is the product of at least $120
worth of ticket sales. For those athletes who refuse
to sell the overpriced raffle tickets, there is no escape,
and so they must dig through their own pockets to

"Besids, what could they

William

Bradford 1

"One Small Step"

In keeping with the spirit of the
season, Governor William
Bradford's account of the
Pilgrims' landfall is herewith
reproduced.

Art Barlow-Groundskeeper
Being thus arived in a good har-
bor and brought safe to land, they
fell upon their knees & blessed
the God of heaven, who had
brought them over the vast & furi-
ous ocean, and delivered them
from all the periles & miseries
therof, againe to set their feete on
the frime and stable earth, their
proper elemente. Andnomarvell
if they were thus hoyefull, seeing
wise Seneca was so affected with
sailing a few miles on the coast of
his wone Italy; as he affirmed,
that he had rather remaine twentie
years on his way by land, then
pass by sea to any place in a short
time; so tedious & dreadfull was
the same unto him.

But hear I cannot but stay and
make a pause, and stand half
amased at this poore peoples pre-
sente condition; and so I thinke
will the reader too, when he well
considers the same. Being thus
passed the vast ocean, and a sea of
troubles before in their prepara-
tion ( as many be remembred by
that which wente before), they
had now no friends to wellome
them, nor inns to entertaine or

refresh their weatherbeaten
bodys, no houses or mush less
townes to repaire too, to seeke for
succoure. It is recorded in scrip-
ture as a mercie to the apostle &
his shipwraked company, that the
barbarians shweed them no smale
kindnes in refreshing them, but
these savage barbarians, when
they mette with them (as after
will appeare) were readier to fill
their sids full of arrows then oth-
erwise. And for the season it was
winter, and they that know the
winters of that cuntrie know them
to be sharp & violent, & subjecte
to cruell & fieerce stormes,
deangerous to travill to known
places, much more to serch an
unknown coast. Besids, what
could they see but a hididous &
desolate wildernes, full of wild
beasts & wild men? and what
multituds ther might be of them
they knew not. Nether could they,
as it were, goe up to the tope of
Pisgah, to vew from this
wildernes a more goodly cuntrie
to feed their hops; for which way
soever they turned their eys (save
upward to the heavens) they could
have litle solace or content in
respecte of any outward objects.
For summer being done, all things
stand upon them with a wether-
beaten face; and the whole coun-

Editorial

"We were playing a

team that had a

coachy lots of practice

time"

Jeff Van Stone, Ad Sales Manager

I'm sure that most of Clarion
University is not familiar with the
new Clarion Ice Hockey team.

The team was founded in the
Fall of 1997, through fliers and
word of mouth. The founders
were myself, and Drew
McWilliams a Junior here at
Clarion. Drew and I both played
high school hockey, and we
missed it.

The beginning months were a
struggle and finally the team
became a success.

I was the captain and coach,
Drew was the assistant
captain/coach.

This sometimes make it hard
when you have to try to set an
example for the others and stay
disciplined, and you have to
know me understand this.

I was skeptical at first starting
the team because I knew about
others who had tried, but were
unsuccessful. Practices began in
late October of the fall of '97, at
the Belmont Ice Complex in
Kittanning. The only affordable
ice time we could get (those who
have played ice hockey before
know what I mean) was on
Mondays at 11 p.m. Kittanning

is about a 45 minute drive one
way so it was a bit of a hike.

The fall '97 semester turned
into a success, after contacting
other college teams, we finally
scheduled our first game in late
November with Bethany College
of West Virginia. The first game
we played at our home ice in
Kittanning, and was a success
despite losing 8 to 7. We were
playing a team that had a coach,
lots of practice time and money
for equipment and supplies fund-
ed by the school. Clarion just
had five practices, not much
money, was not used to getting
hit as much, and had many begin-
ners.

In the spring of '98, Clarion
traveled to West Virginia to play
Bethany at the Wheeling Civic
Arena, which was a treat The
Civic Center was the home of the
Wheeling Thunderbirds (a minor
league hockey team), and the
arena was the biggest I've played
in. Clarion upset Bethany 9 to 5,
which shocked many people.

After the game in Wheeling, the

team went underground for a

semester not doing much of any-

AthlOt©! letter to the editor, from Page 2.

come up with funds to contribute to the illusions "Athletic Scholarship
Fund". The article (and the interviewee) pay no tribute to the athletes
who are forced to sell these beastly tickets.

With the "Athletic department striving for higher goals" and this
prestigious scholarship fund, one would think it would be evenly dis-
tributed amidst the athletes since, after all, they must all sell the tick-
ets. Astonishingly, the "Clarion Athletic Scholarship fund" does not
extend to all of the Clarion athletic participants. After a brief investi-
gation, I discovered sports such as men's cross-country and track put
money into the fund by selling their tickets, but never do their pro-
grams reap a dime of the fund's benefits. The article (and the inter-
viewee) neglects to mention those sports that are forgotten and how
unequally the fund is allotted to various sports.

I know the Athletic Department has improved with the addition of
Carlson; however, it is not a result, as the article suggests, of what he
has done. On the other hand, it is a result of what he has made and con-
tinues to make the athletes on campus do. The spotlight should be
dimmed on the "big fish" and focus more on the athletes in the "little
pond" since, after all, they are the ones up at 5 a.m., sweating, and
pushing themselves every day while, through this article, Bob Carlson
seems to hog the credit.

Sixth annual Equity Awards
highlighted social excellence

by Angela Everly

Clarion Call News Editor

and A. A. Thompson

Clarion CaU

t Assistant Ne ws t Editor,

The Sixth Annual Social Equity
Dinner and Awards Ceremony
was held on November 17, with a
theme of "Civility and
Tolerance."

Master and Mistress of
Cennonies were Mike Mangieri,
Student Senate parliamentarian,
and Amy Moeslein, Student
Senate vice president.

Student Senate President, Leslie
Suhr, began the program with the
welcome address, followed by
Erika Pidro with a poetry reading.
The invocation preceding dinner
was given by Dr. Jerry Belloit.

Due to illness, President Diane
Reinhard was unable to attend the
dinner. Interium Povost, Dr.
Joseph Grunenwald, spoke in her
place. He said, "Clarion
University needs to challenge
individuals and as a group to cre-
ate a civil society."

GrunenwakTs remarks were fol-
lowed by the Lift Every Voice
Choir, under the direction of Amy
Jefferson.

Reginald Wells, Clarion
University Sports Hall of Fame
receipient of 1990, was the guest
speaker.

"Politeness, common courtesy,
and morals is what civility
means," said Wells. He spoke
about living in an uncivil society.
"Life is played like a sport,
when you go over the line you get
a foul or penalty, in life you get
arrested or placed in prison," said
Wells.

He discussed how people
receive mixed messages. Wells
said often athletes and political
leaders play by other rules. "It
has to stop somewhere," said
Wells.

Wells graduated from Clarion
University with the top scoring
record of 2,01 1 points. During his
college basketball career he also
achieved various seasonal records
and two PSAC-West titles. He
was named an NAIA Ail-
American in 1979.

Currently, Wells is a State Police
Officer with two children to his
wife, Diane, of 20 years.

Student Senator Bill Isbir pre-
sented the Outstanding
Community Service Social Equity
Award to Dr. and Mrs. Art Barlow
and Dr. William "Butch"
Campbell. " This award is for lit-
tle Luis, he can play baseball
now," said Dr. Barlow.

A poem on disabilities was read
by PROUD during the ceremony.

Senator Ben Chervenak present-
ed the Outstanding Supporter
Award to Dr. Iseli Krauss and
Dr. George Curtis.

Curtis said, "I understand that
Student Senate nominated me for
this award. It is a great reward to
work with Student Senate. I truly
mean that."

Senator Bobbi Bothell presented
the Special Group Award to the
International Office. Dr. Jocelind
Gant accepted the award on
behalf of the office.

The Outstanding Student Award
was presented by Senator Matt
LaPatka and went to Danielle
Poole who is active in the -
Building Bridges Program.

Women of Praise, made of six
members who actively worship
God through body movements,
performed a mime presentation.

Koinonia Fellowhip presented a
musical number for the crowd.

The Equity Award was present-
ed by Senator Missy Gring and
went to Dr. James Kole.

"I am deeply honored to have
been nominated to receive the
1999 Equity Award. The actual

recognition is really a celebration
of the team building and spirit of
community that the Office of
Social Equity has fostered at our
university," he said.

The Posthumus Award was pre-
sented by Treasurer Brian Sowa
and went to Mrs. John Kuhn in
memory of her husband, Dr. John
Kuhn, former Provost at Clarion
University. Dr. Kuhn passed
away in September.

Lyn Kuhn said, "John's legacy is
that people were important and
everyone deserves to be treated
with dignity and respect. That is
how he lived his life."

Closing remarks were made by
the co-chairs of the Social Equtiy
Committee Jenifer Mathis and
Richard Dunton, members of the
Student Senate.

es within the Slate System. The pur-
pose of selecting an issue is so that the
state system schools join together to
make a firm commitment in enhancing
the quality of education and impart the
student bodies with issues that the
Board will support

This years issue is "Unity through
Community."

Although some constituents said they
didn't feel their universities had prob-
lems with the surrounding communi-
ties most felt that it was important to
continue a positive relationship.
Amanda Gudknecht, of Bloomsburg
University stressed the importance of
giving back to the community what col-
lege students take. East Stioudsburg
University spoke about a program they
sponsor. The program is called
"Operation Teddy bear" and is a drive
to collect teddy bears to give to under
privileged children in the area The
presidents feel it is important to send a
message to the community that college
students do more than just get drunk.

Kutztown University agreed that this
isagreat issue for the Board to address.
"Developing and bringing unity
through the community to each univer-
sity and town is important," said
Bradley Smith. Mutual urrierstanding
are apart of each other. This issue of the
year doesn't mean that Civility will die
off, it simply mean civility can be incor-
porated through the community and
unity.

James Moyer, chair of BSGP, stated
mat they are not letting civility die, they
are focusing on a certain aspect of civil-
ity. He also said that the board will con-
tinue to develop the issue in the upcom-
ing weeks.

Past issues of the year include this
years civility and diversity and binge
drinking.

The board also held SGA reports,
which gave the 14 state school presi-
dents a chance to elaborate on events
happening on their campuses.

Bloomsburg reported that they just
completed a concert with Fuel, which
sold 1,000 tickets. A fraternity was sus-
pended during parents weekend for
underage drinking. A tri-fcve! parking

Clarion Call Contritatii£ Writer

The Clarion University Eagle

Ambassadors recently hosted the

second segment of its Alumni

Lecture Series.

The purpose of the lecture series is

to bridge the gap between the current
student body and honored alumni by
creating a forum in which both of
these groups can interact

Last year's speakers were
Pittsburgh radio personalities and
graduates of the Communication
Department This year's installment
paid homage to the education field.

Speaking on behalf of all education
graduates were area locals, Mrs.
Molly Gaydash and Mr. David 4 *DJ"
Bevevino.

Both speakers have used their
knowledge acquired while at the uni-
versity to go beyond the classroom,
to tackle other positions that effect
student's lives and futures.

The first speaker of the night was
Gaydash an eighth grade Reading
Specialists and Journalism teacher
from the Red Bank Valley School
District

Gaydash is a three time graduate of

Clarion University beginning with a
Bachelor's Degree in English
Education in 1989. In 1992 she
received her Masters in English,
before completing a Reading
Specialist Degree in 1995.

Previously she served as a substi-
tute teacher in local schools, as well
as the Applied Communication
instructor at the Clarion County
Career Center. She describes teach-
ing as, "A lot of dedication and a lot
of fun."

Gaydash gave practical advice to
the audience about all facets of teach-
ing, ranging from classroom man-
agement to increasing students inter-
est in reading.

The best advise she gave was to
"follow the heart and the head will
follow." She explained it was neces-
sary for teachers to show sympathy

and "hang up" any convictions in
order to provide a safe and stable
environment for students. Teachers
must be the "light house in the
storm" and provide for the students
needs, said Gaydash.

The second speaker, Bevevino
graduated from Clarion University in
1977 with a Bachelor's degree in
Secondary Education Mathematics.
In addition, he received his certifica-
tion in chemistry from Clarion in
1979. Before accepting his current
position as Secondary Guidance
Counselor and Athletic Director at
Clarion Area High School, he served
as a science teacher at Allegheny-
Clarion Valley High School for nine
years.

He attributed bis involvement in
extracurricular activities to his suc-
cess in life, more so than what he
learned in the classroom.

While he was an undergraduate
here at Clarion, Bevevino participat-
ed in Student Senate, as well as on
the Swim Team. Those activities he
said, "Gave me the opportunity to do
things normal kids didn't have a
chance to do."

While the Swim Team taught him
the rewards of hard work and
Student Senate got him involved out-
side of his comfort zone, his true
inspiration came from a freshmen
writing course.

The professor made him believe in
himself by recognizing one of his
essays before the class. As a result
he became a Secondary Education
English major, however, he later
changed his field to science where he
could learn with the students.

Both of the speakers gave an
insightful look into education and
what can be done to enrich students
lives.

If you missed Gaydash and
Bevevino's lecture, don't miss next
semesters opportunity to meet other
successful Clarion University gradu-
ates and hear about how the universi-
ty has impacted their lives.

RIDES!"

former president Robert
Aebersold. and possibly sell off
the naming rights with the pro-
ceeds going to the cost of build-
ing the center.

Clayton Wukich, SGA speak-
er of the senate and president-
elect, and Chris Rdinson, SGA

The Clarion Call

November 18, 1999

BSGP successful

by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

President Leslie Suhr announced
at the Student Senate meeting
Monday night that the Board of
Student Government President's
Conference was a success. The
conference, which was hosted by
Clarion, was held this past Friday.

This was Clarion's first chance
to host the conference. The speak-
er for the event was State Senator
Mary Jo White. Remarks were
also given by Chancellor
McCormick.

"We are all pleased to have this
opportunity to host the confer-
ences. It was a chance for Clarion
to show what it has to offer," said
Senate President Leslie Suhr.

The State System Board of
Student Government Presidents is
the only such board in the entire
county.

The Social Equity dinner was
held Wednesday, November 17.
Speaking at the event was Reggie
Wells, a Clarion Sports Hall of
Fame member.

Suhr said that some students
would soon be picked for the
Provost Search committee. The
new edition to the committee

came after several people previ-
ously questioned why there was a
•lack of students.

Jeff Say, Editor-in-chief of The
Clarion Call, said the College
Press Day III was a success. He
also said that around 150 people
attended the event, which was
held in Gemmell on Friday.

Treasurer Brian Sowa made a
motion to allocate $19,950 from
the Capital account for the pur-
chase of a new computer system
for The Clarion Call. Jeff Say,
Call representative, said the cur-
rent computer system is too old
and is not living up to the stan-
dards that the publication has to
meet. The motion was passed.

During the Appropriations
report, Sowa read the account bal-
ances. There is $208,975.33 in the
Large Item Capital Account,
$113,022.19 in the Capital
Account, $28,329.53 in the
Supplemental Account, and
$19,300.51 in the Supplemental
Reserve Account.

The University Activities Board
announced that a wrestling pep
rally will be held in the Gemmell
Multi-Purpose room on Thursday,
November 18 at 7 p.m.

"Civil Discourse" and CPD

by A. A. Thompson

Clarion Call

Assistant News Editor

On Friday, November 12,
College Press Day was held at
Clarion University with "Civil
Discourse" as the theme.

The day began with the keynote
speaker, Clarke M. Thomas,
Senior Editor of The Pittsburgh
Post Gazette. He allowed time
for open discussion.

After the keynote speaker, vari-
ous sessions were offered that
dealt with a wide range of issues.

Three of these sessions were led
by Clarion faculty including: Dr.
Alan Larson, Professor,
Communication Department, with
his session entitled "Libel and the
Student Press"; Mrs. Mary
Wilson, Instructor,

Communication Department, co-
led "Marketing Yourself: How do
you get your first job?"; and Dr.
Arthur Barlow, Associate
Professor, Communication

Department, co-led "Guiding
Your Membership: SCJ Planning
for 2000."

After a lunch in the Gemmell
Multi-Purpose room, a panel of
graduates from Clarion University

® TOYOTA

answered questions and shared
their personal workplace experi-
ences.

The day ended with a Media Fair
in which the panel of graduates
could continue to talk to students.

The day was sponsored in part
by Clarion University's chapter of
Society for Collegiate Journalists
(SCJ).

Since many other schools do not
have an SCJ organization or a
College Press Day, most were
impressed with what the day had
to offer them and many have been
motivated to start their own SCJ
chapters.

Leslie Suhr, Clarion chapter SCJ
President said, "I hope the work-
shop gave some schools the initia-
tive to start an SCJ chapter at their
campuses. It's definitely a great
opportunity."

Brian Ianieri, a Susquehanna
University student said, "College
Press Day was a big help in help-
ing me understand different
aspects of media. It was very
informative watching the panel
discussion. I took a lot of infor-
mation out of it."

Students from Grove City
College expressed their enthusi-

asm for getting to see how more
liberal universities run their news-
papers. They also shared their
desire for an SCJ chapter at Grove
City.

The Clarion Call Editor in
Chief Jeff Say said, "College
Press Day was an enlightening
experience for all those who par-
ticipated. I feel that the student
roundtable was a great experi-
ence. All of the schools involved
walked away with new ideas and
new perspectives."

Sports Editor J.P. Kenney said,
"College Press Day was a great
opportunity for student journalists
to come together and share experi-
ences and ideas. People forget
how much work goes into report-
ing for a college paper and it was
nice to feel appreciated."

Faculty also found the day to be
successful. "I thought it was won-
derful. I was particularly pleased
with the number of students who
sat in on the sessions. I hope that
Communication majors, no matter
their rank, whether they be sopho-
mores, juniors or seniors, and as
the word gets out more, will con-
tinue to take part in this in the
future," said Wilson.

Student to lecture at Harvard U.

by William Buchanan

Clarion Call
Contributing Writer

Virginia Parkum, a student in
Clarion University's Master of
Science in Library Science pro-
gram in Harrisburg, has been
invited to present a lecture at
Harvard University as a part of its
"Buddhism in America" course.

Parkum, who expects to gradu-
ate from Clarion in August 2000,
initially became interested in
Buddhism while working in the
library at the Harrisburg campus
of the Pennsylvania State
University and was asked by a
library patron to assist in a
research project related to
Buddhist prison ministries.

"One thing led to another and I
found myself getting more and
more deeply involved in and inter-
ested in Buddhist research," said
Parkum.

In the process of completing the
research for the patron, Anthony
Stultz, who turned out to be a
Buddhist scholar, Parkum uncov-
ered so much relevant information
that she was invited by Stultz to
co-author a book chapter titled
The Angulimala Lineage:
Buddhist Activities in the
Criminal Justice System" in
England Buddhism in the West,
which was published this month
by Wisdom Publications. Parkum
and Stultz's work came to the
attention of the organizers of the

annual meeting of die
International Association of Shin
Buddist Scholars, and they were
invited to present their research
mis past summer at the
Association's conference in
Hawaii.

The presentation at the Shin con-
ference came to the attention of
the Harvard faculty, which led to
Parkum being asked to lecture
mere as a part of the school's
course titled "Buddhism in

ence from the University of
Wisconsin, and a PhD in political
science from the University of
Mannheim (Germany). Her work
on citizen participation in the
political process has been widely
cited in die professional literature
of political science, including her
own publications.

In addition to her work in polit-
ical science and library science,
Parkum is a published poet and a
painter with a growing reputation

Courtsey of Dr. William Buchanan

America."

"Like many library science stu-
dents, Parkum entered library
school at midlife," said Dr.
Bernard Vavrek, chair of the
Department of Library Science.
Prior to entering Clarion, Parkum
had a distinguished career as a
political scientist and public poli-
cy researcher. Her credentials
include a BA in German from
Penn State, an MA in political sci-

in the Harrisburg area. She cur-
rently has a show hanging at the
Penn State Harrisburg campus.

The Department of Library
Science is one of only 50 accredit-
ed graduate programs in library
science in the nation. Its gradu-
ates work in libraries around the
world. For more information on

Lifestyles

Equity Week kicks off with the one-person
play, Jennie Kwan's "Faces of America"

by Jacque Walsh

Clarion Call

Assistant Lifestyles Editor

The kick-off of the sixth annual Equity
Wfeek 1999 began with an awani win-
ning one-person play entitled "Faces of
America", starring Jennie Kwan.
Events were held all week to celebrate
dwasity among us.

The play was held on November 15 at
7:00 in Hart ChapeL Introducing the
cast was Clarion University Resident
Done Reinhard She introduced the
play by saying it is a 20th century play
thai tells a story of all different cultures
in America The play focuses on eight
different characters from diffeiert ethnic
backgrounds, and how they view soci-
ety today.

The first character to appear was one
from both Japanese and German back-
grounds. Her main points were how
people view her as being exotic but she
is really just a normal American girl

This character stated that even though
she was 3rd generation she is still not
viewed as being "American."

A Mexican gang-banger was the sec-
end character Kwan portrayed. He
commented on how sad it is that chil-
dren no longer play 'oops and robbers',
hut instead act the game out in real life
He says he's Mexican because that is
how the world views him He goes on
further to tell of how job applications
with his Mexican name on them
prompted no return phone calls, where-
as the American name got a call for an
interview.

A Hindu a)ltege .student was iiext. She
spoke about the caste system in India
and how her family was at the top. She
told a story where one night while leav-
ing the Horary, four guys were waiting
for her at her car. Because she was a
'stuck-up Indian girl', they threw her
down, kicked, beat, and stripped her
She never believed that there was a caste
system in America but now she does.

Kwan next portrayed an African-
American man that had a PhD.. He
talked of how plantation owners, presi-
dents, Hollywood, music companies
and the real world view blacks. He said
today's world saying that you're a black
man with a PhD. is an oxy-moron

Next up was a white male who
believed that just because his dad was a
racist, that did not mean that he was
going to he one as well. He also said that
he would not limit himself to girls that
are white; if he falls in love with a Mack
girl, so be it

Finally, Kwan portrayed a Middle-
Eastem lesbian. Her message was that
we should stop thinking in black and
white, but think "fuzzy".

Faces Of America' was first per-
formed in Los Angeles in 1995. It tours
at colleges all across America On the
51st Annual United Nations Day this
play was performed and received a
standing ovation. It was directed and

Pikachu is really Pika-cool

by Mike Cody
m Clarion Call Staff Writer

Editor's Note: Due to the
fact that he isn't a Pokemon-
obsessed nine year-old,
reviewer Mike Cody felt that it
wouldn't be appropriate for
him to write this week's review
of 'Pokemon: The First
Movie '. Therefore, he decided
to hand over the reviewing
privileges to his Pokemon-
obsessed nine year-old
nephew Tyler.

Hi. My name is Tyler. My
Uncle Mike told me to come
with him to see 'Pokemon' so
he wouldn't look like a big
dork sitting there by himself.

I told him that it wouldn't
matter if I went to see it with
him or not 'cause he'd still
look like a big dork. Then he
got mad and didn't buy me
popcorn.

Uncle Mike told me that I
shouldn't write stuff in all
capital letters but I have to
because POKEMON WAS SO
AWESOME. It was fifty-
kajillion times better than the
TV show because MewTwo
kicked everybody's butt
except Mew 'cause Mew's my
favorite. And Pikachu did
some really cool stuff like pull
a dragon's head out of this big
cave and then he said "Pika

pika!" a lot.

Editor's Note: Hey, me
again. Mike thought he'd
include a brief plot synopsis of
the 'Pokemon' movie for any-
one who isn't under 10.

'Pokemon: The First Movie"
continues the adventures of
Ash, a young boy on a quest to
become the world's greatest
Pokemon trainer, and his
favorite Pokemon, Pikachu.
Pokemon, for those who are
still unfamiliar with the term,
are bizarre creatures who are
trained to battle one another
for sport. In this film, Ash and
his friends are summoned to a

Kwan was the one and only star. When
asked how difficult it is being on stage
by herself she said "It's exhilarating but
it takes alot of focus." She told me it
took her six months to team her lines.
The process in ongoing. When asked

who her favorite character is, she said,
"it just depends on what kind of mood
Tm in that day."

The message "Faces Of America"
gave off was for us to stop thinking so
closed, but to he open-minded and "get
fuzzy."

Pokemon! The first movie from the kiddie phenomenon is released in theaters; From page 10.

In this film, Ash and his
friends are summoned to a
Pokemon tournament being
held, unbeknownst to them,
by MewTwo, the most power-
ful Pokemon of all time.
MewTwo was cloned from

cells taken from Mew, a
Pokemon long believed to be
extinct. Unlike other

Pokemon, who engage in bat-
tles simply for fun, MewTwo
plans to destroy the human
race and any Pokemon who

stand in his way of suprema-
cy. Ultimately, it's up to Ash,
Pikachu, and all their friends
to defeat MewTwo before he
takes over the world.

Editor's Note: Last time, I
promise. Here's Tyler again.

Uncle Mike said he liked
the movie but he didn't
understand what was the big
deal with Pokemon. He said
Pokemon was just an excuse
for little kids to bug their par-
ents for more toys. But Uncle

Pikachu gets medieval in his first movie.

IM
LA,

Mike's just STUPID because
he'd probably think Pokemon
was cool if he were nine years
old, too. He kept talking
about how cool the Masters of
the Universe were so I
stopped listening.

Pokemon was really, really
cool, especially when they
were all fighting each other.
There was a little cartoon
before the movie called
'Pikachu's Vacation' but I
thought it was kind of dumb.
Uncle Mike fell asleep during
the cartoon so I stole ten
bucks out of his wallet.

After the movie I asked
Uncle Mike if he liked it and
he said yeah but he thought
the end got really preachy.
He said it was pretty good as
far as kids movies go but I
think it was pretty good as far
as any movie goes. I'm
gonna go see it six more times
and dress up like Pikachu the
next time I go. I asked Uncle
Mike if he'd dress up like
MewTwo when I see
'Pokemon' again so we can
stand underneath the screen
and fight. He said he'd think
about it.

Mike's Review: 3 stars.

Tyler's Review: 5 Kabillion

stars.

Learn about dieting from 'Leeza'

by Dave Barry
^Syndicated Columnist

One recent Tuesday morn-
ing I was flipping through
the TV channels at a brisk,
businesslike, no-nonsense
pace, looking for "Rocky and
Bullwinkle," when I found
myself caught up in a fasci-
nating installment of Leeza
Gibbons' talk show, "Leeza."
The theme of the show was:
"Women Who Cannot
Correctly Spell Their Own
Names."

No, seriously, the theme
was: "Superstars of the Diet
Wars." This was a debate
among top diet experts, who
felt so strongly about the cor-
rect way to lose weight that
at times they came close to
whacking each other over the
head with their competing
diet books.

Dieting was not always so
complicated. Thousands of
•years ago, there was only one
diet book, entitled "Don't Eat
Too Much." It consisted of a
big stone tablet on which
were chiseled the words
"DON'T EAT TOO MUCH!"
It did not sell well, because
nobody could lift it, on top of
which everybody back then
was busy with other con-
cerns, such as not starving.

In modern America, howev-
er, food is abundant every-
where except aboard com-

mercial airplanes. Dieting
has become a huge industry
involving many complex the-
ories that can be confusing to
the average layperson sitting
on the Barcalounger, trying
to decide whether to open a
second bag of potato chips or
simply eating the onion dip
right out of the tub. So let's
review the History of Modern
Diet Science:

The first big advance came
in 1895, when a food
researcher named Dr. Wilbur
Calorie made the break-
through discovery, while
working late one night, that
he could no longer pull his
pants up past his thighs.
After spending many hours in
the laboratory squinting at
fudge, Dr. Calorie concluded
that people gain weight
because certain foods contain
tiny invisible scientific units
that became known, in honor
of their discoverer, as
"wilburs."

No sorry, I mean "calo-
ries." For decades, every-
body operated on the Calorie
Counter Theory of dieting,
which basically states that
you should never eat any-
thing that tastes good. Then
along came a new theory, the

Evil Fat Theory, which states
that you CAN have calories,
but you should NOT have fat;
this resulted in the multibil-
lion-dollar Low-Fat Things
Industry, which gave us low-
fat brownies, low-fat Milk
Duds, low-fat cows, low-fat
cologne, the cast of
"Friends,"
ect.

But there
i s

ANOTH-
ER major
theory that
says you
can eat all
the fat you
want, but
you
CAN'T
have car-
fa o h y -
d r a t e s ;
that you
can snork down an entire pig
for breakfast, but eat a single
Froot Loop and you will
bloat out like a military life
raft. The Evil Carbohydrate
Theory is extremely hot at
the moment, as is evidenced
by the top-selling diet books,
which include "Carbohydrate
Beaters," "Carbohydrate
Busters," "Carbohydrate

"Fight Carbohydrates

So it's hard for a dieter to
know what to think, which is
why it was
so helpful
for the

"Leeza"
show to
hold a

debate
among the
leading diet
experts,
including
several
medicinal
doctors,
several peo-
ple with sci-
entific ini-
tials after their names, and of
course Suzanne Somers, who
may yet win a Nobel Prize
for her work on the
ThighMaster, and who is now
a top diet authority with a
book out. It is only a matter
of time before she thinks
seriously about running for
president.

So anyway, the diet experts
debated their theories, and
Leeza walked around frown-
ing with the deep concern
that talk-show hosts feel
about everything. The audi-

ence provided feedback by
holding up cards that said
YES on one side and NO on
the other. (At one point, an
expert mentioned the first
law of thermodynamics, and
Leeza asked if anybody knew
what that was, and the audi-
ence consensus was NO). In
between there were numerous
commercials, most of which
were for law firms that want
to Fight For You, although
there was also a thought-pro-
voking one for a toilet
cleanser.

Anyway, I watched the
experts debate for an hour,
and here's what I learned:

- The (pick one: low-calo-
rie; low-fat; low-carbohy-
drate) diet really works!

- Whereas the (pick one:
low-calorie; low-fat; low-
carbohydrate) diet will prob-
ably kill you.

- Suzanne Somers, in all
objectivity, thinks you should
buy her book.

- If you are a human being
of any kind, you should file a
lawsuit because YOU HAVE
MONEY COMING!

- Speaking of TV attorneys,
toilet bacteria grow like
CRAZY.

So there are the facts, con-
sumers; it's now up to you to
make an informed decision.
Remember: It's YOUR body.
And, as such, it wants a chili
dog.

The best albums of the Nineties, Part 1

by Keith B. Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

Editor's Note: WU, it's been a long
and interesting decade, and here's the
best albums released during it. Due to
space constraints, the second hay" will
run in the Dec. 9 issue of The Call
10) Blur- 13 (1999)

I know it's a bit recent to be on the list,
but give it a few years, and I bet it'll still
be on here, and at a higher position, too.
Where Blur's previous albums
explored everything from Kinks guitar-
rock to primal punk rock, 13 delves
into space rode, post-punk, and, well,
EVERYTHING ELSE EVER
PLAYED!!!!!

Starting out with the heart-wrenching
'Tender," 13 comes out of the gate
strong. Singer Damon Albam's hurt
ami pfcading voice builds to an incred-
ibly soulful climax. It's a Nineties
"Give Peace aChance", and Albam just
might be staking his claim as the next
JohnLenncn.

Lyrically, the album is a downer. In
"1992," he sings "You'd love my bed;
you took the other instead,". Even more
dejected is "No Distance Left to Run,"
where Albam moans "It's over, I hope
you're with someone who makes you

feel safe when you're sleeping."
But the album's high point is one of its
most hopeful, in Toffee and TV." It's
an instantly infectious tune of jangly
guitars and sing-along choruses, with
just the right amount of fuzzed-out
white noise. When guitarist Graham
Coxon asks 'Take me away from this
big bad world and agree to marry me,"
you realize why you listen to music in
the first place - the pure joy of it

The rest of the album is just as eclec-
tic, with songs that are loud and grating,

yet spongier than a Koosh ball Coxon
attacks songs like "BHIREMl"
and "Bugman" with savage force that's
still chained to pop sensibility. The
album sounds like it might be influ-
enced by Bowie, Floyd, and the Velvet
Underground, yet owes allegiance to
none of them. Mellow, weary, haunt-
ing, lulling, shimmering, trance-induc-
ing, and I'm putting down the thesaurus
now. 13 is more tranquilizing than
codeine, and more invigorating than a
caffeine IV. In the end, it proves that
'13' certainly isn't Blur's unlucky num-
ber.

9)Underworld-
Dubnobctsswithrnyheaaman (1994)

Are you still with me after that super-
califragilisticexrjealidocious of a title?
Alright then. To pinpoint one single
album to represent the genre of elec-
tronica is quite a daunting task. So why
Underworld, and why Dubnobass...!

Dubnobass... represents a complete
reinvention for Underworld, from a
really c rappy synthpop band to rave
gods. What makes them so special? It's
their ability to meld the worlds of
rock/pop and techno together.
Songwriters Darren Emerson and Kurt
Hyde can take traditional song struc-
tures, twist and elongate them, and end
up with eiectranica classics. With gen-
tle neo-psydiedelia guitar flourishes
and calmly sung/spoken vocals,
Underworld creates soundscapes that
are entrancing.

They also have the manic ability to be
both narcoleptically soothing and
hyperactively energetic. "Mmm
Skyscraper I Love You" is a wonderful
example of this. An 11- minute opus,
"Mmm Skyscraper..." contains multi-
ple melodies and rhythms, driving the
song at different paces. Qte character-
istic remains constant in tlieir musk,
though: the fact that it all remains beat-
intensive.

Songs such as "Cowboy" and
'Tongue" prove that Underworld is a
talented fusion group. It all adds up to a
terribly convincing excuse to get out on
the dance floor.
8) Massive Attack - Mezzanine (1998)

The torch-bearers of the genre known
as 'trip-hop', Massive Attack have

recorded an intoxicating blend of urban,
alternative, jazz, and techno.
Mezzanine drags you down into its sub-
terranean world with endlessly relent-
less beats, swirling rhythms of dark
smog, and eerie melodies.
Pounding, dirty guitar riffs intertwined
perfectly with the creeping synthesizer
and programming techniques come in
wave after wave; leaving your ears

gasping for breath, lie album drowns
you in a sea of despair, lust, and mad-
ness; but don't let that scare you away
from this opaque wonder of an album.
Like a good Poe or Lovecraft story, the
point is to be tost in the depravity and
terror of the situation.

Mezzanine features many guest
singers, including the Cocteau Twin's
LizEraser. On the .album's first single,
the epic stow-bumer 'Teardrop", her
sweet voice adds airciderable warmth
and humanity to the practiced beat and
mechanical harpochord background, as
il drips from her mouth to the speakers
like thick honey. "Angel" is a small
piece of Heaven (actually, Hell might
be more appropriate here), with a thud-
ding bass beat that forebodes the
appearance of snarling guitars that rip
into you without mercy.

Utilizing damn near every instrument
ever invented, from upright bass, to
string sections, and even a sample of
howling wolves (which is absolutely
bore-chilling in "Risingson", I might
add), Massive Attack proves mem-
selves to be a devastatingly imaginative
group of the highest order. Mezzanine
is a suffocating portrait of dark genius.
7) Nirvana - Newrrnind (1991)
Do I even need to say anything about
this record? Honestly? If you don't
know about the universal impact of this

record, you're atone. It's quite possibly
the most influential and important
album of this decade, not to mentic nthe
past 20 years.

Not too many bands can lay claim to
the popularization of an entire pop cul-
ture phenomenon, but Nevermind
changed the course of popular music,
for better and for worse. It spawned a
legion of bastard offspring, and none of
them came even dose to what made
this record so revolutionary: the raw,
pure and unfiltered emotion of Kurt
Cobain

It's amazing that music that seems so
extraordinarily ugly on the surface
could have become so staggeringly
popular. But look beneath the slicing
shards of "guitar napalm, and you' II find
songs that work on any level. Nirvana
simply careens out of control on the
instant classic "Smells Like Teen
Spirit", and continue on a break-neck
pace to the moody and sell -absorbed
closer "Something In The Way.
Cobain simply tortures his guitar,
stretching the sonic capabilities of the
instmrnent to die absolute limit, and,
when it can go no further, his cracking

on this list

6) Portishead - Dummy (1994)
Sparse and sinewy, Portishead's music
was a breath of fresh air in the fairly
stagnant mid-nineties. Portishead's
Dummy came from the middle of
nowhere in England (Bristol) and took
the music world by surprise.

Their music is a splinter of trip-hop,
but bears little resemblance to Massive
Attack. The music is dark, and down-
right claustrophobic at times, but singer
Beth Gibbons and Co. infuse their
music with several distinct styles, to cre-
ate a unique blend. Combining heavy
acid house and cool jazz ingredients
with a k)ve of film noir, particularly 60s
spy movies, Portishead spawns music
with a 'cabaret' feel to it

The album sounds like it could have
been a lost James Bond theme song,
due to Portishead's immersion in the
noir scene. Perhaps the best example of
this is "Sour Times," which sports a
sample from Lab Schiflrin (composer
of the 'Mission: Impossible' theme).
The entire album is dripring with an air
of doomed romanticism, which can
make it a tough listen Gibbon's voice
is like a black locust cloud hovering
over the already bleak landscape of their
creations (that's a good thing, trust me).

Also in the mix are slow-tempo hip-
hop beats, and all manner of eerie
turntable scratches and synth swirls . To
put the final touches on the proceedings,
guitarist Adrien UUey provides echoed
and sobbing guitar textures. It's a dizzy-
ing journey of disconsolation and disso-
nance, but one that avoids becoming
too oppressive.

and bellowing voice throws mem ova
the threshold.

To say that songs such as "In Bloom"
and 'Territorial Pissings" don't make
you want to smash random objects into
oblivion is to concede to not having a
pulse. It's evident that Nirvana could
have made even better music than this,
if only Cobain hadn't joined the pan-
theon of dearly departed rock stars,
indikSngTlieDoor'sJim Morrison and
Joy Division's Ian Curtis. If only the
songwriting on Nevermind were slight-
ly more consistent, it'd be number one

Clarion football went on the road to win their final game of
their season. Clarion defeated a good California team by the
score of 24- 14. Clarion closed out the year with a 3-7 record
which includes a 2-4 PSAC West Conference. Eight Golden
Eagles played their final game in an Eagle uniform. Those
player include Brett Wiley, Jason and Jeff Cappa, Mike
Maguire, Keonte Cambell, Dan Greulich, Frank Van Wert and
Donte Williams,

Janson recovered the ball on

Adam Almashy (9/17, 83

Demetric Gardner (6 carries,

with an 11 yard touchdown
run. The drive chewed up half

Cal no opportunity to get back
into the game.

With 1:22 left to play, Cal
mounted a desperate drive to
the Clarion 33. But as time
expired, Clarion did net allow
them into the end zone.

Clarion pounded the ball
down Cal's throat all day. The
combination of Doug Dudash
and Demetric Gardner kept
California off balance all day
long. The Eagles attempted 49
runs, compared to only 21 pass
plays. "I think our offense
took control of their defensive
line," said Coach Luke. Cal
was forced to rely upon an

Clarion moved its mark up to

The Clarion Golden Eagles football
team struggled through a year
plagued by injuries and poor fortune.
Forced to play a number of less expe-
rienced players on both sides of the
ball, the Eagles struggled especially
against stronger teams. Said Coach
Malen Luke, "It's unfortunate that
some of them had to play before they
were supposed to." But late in the
season, as players recovered and
fieshmen lost that tag, the Eagles
posted several strong games, and fin-
ished with two victories.

Leading the ground game this sea-
son was Doug Dudash with 513
yards and three touchdowns on 104
runs. Nearly half the freshman's
yards came in the last three games.
Backfield mate Demetric Gardner
posted 412 yards, and served as the
team's all-around back.

Clarion's receiving corps was
plagued by injuries. TE Andy Pore
led the way with 33 receptions for
386 yards and 7 TDs. WR Dave
HiWerbrand made 22 catches.

Clarion QB Jeff Cappa went down
early in the campaign. Freshman
Adam Almashy came in to direct the
Eagles to three victories in seven
starts. Almashy threw for 1,238

yards. He had an impressive touch-
down to interception ratio, throwing
12 scores and only six interceptions.
Leading the defense was senior LB
Brett Wiley. Wiley finished the sea-
son with 118 tackles and 24 for loss-
es, both ranking him second in the
PSAC. FS Chris Janson was sixth in
the PSAC with 89 tackles. Roosevelt
Benjamin had four interceptions,
including a TD return, and played
some time at receiver, making key
touchdowns in Die last two victories.
"This is a group of good kids to
coach," said Luke, "They're going to
have their day in the sun." The
Eagles look to have as many as 18
starters returning next season. While
the team must replace three starting
linebackers, the corps behind them
include serious play makers, such as
Andre Williams and Kevin Platz.

It may have been a tough season to
be an Eagle fan, but the dividends
will be seen soon. Clarion stared
down the barrels of some of the
biggest guns in Division II. Clarion's
players pressed through a tough cam-
paign, going toe-to-toe with three
teams in the Division II tournament.
Said Luke, 'We know what we
have, and we know what we need to
do." The 2000 season looks to be the
next big step toward the pay-off.

Coach Miller to retire after this swim season is done

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

•••••■•■••••I

!•••••••*••••■••

Bill Miller, the Clarion
University men's and women's
swimming coach for the past 22
years has decided to step down
in May of 2000. Current assis-
tant coach Mark Van Dyke will
succeed him and take over both
swimming programs.

After 36 years of coaching and
22 years here at Clarion, Coach
Miller believed it was the right
time to step down. Coach
Miller's accomplishments are
endless. He has been named
PSAC Men's Coach of the Year
an amazing 6 times not to men-
tion PSAC Women's Coach of
the Year 7 times in 13 years.

One of the biggest accomplish-
ments came when he led the
Clarion men's team to a second
place finish at the NCAA
Division II National

Championships in 1992. For
this he earned coach of the year
honors for all of Division II

Men's swimming.

Bill Miller got to live out his
dreams. "Clarion was the job I
wanted as a high school coach,"
he said with a smile. Coach
Miller fulfilled every part of that
dream compiling up records that
may not ever be matched. The
great thing about Coach Miller is
that he remembers the ones who
helped get him there.

"I'm very grateful for the sup-
port that we've received (swim-
ming and diving programs) over
the years and would like to thank
everyone for that support,"
Miller said at his press confer-
ence last Wednesday.

The amazing thing about
Coach Miller was that he not
only impacted Clarion, but he
impacted other places as well.
His Clarion swimming camps
over the summer are known
nationwide. Also he has lectured
and done clinics in foreign coun-
tries such as Peru, Egypt, and
Honduras.

Coach Miller will continue to

help out with the summer camps
here at Clarion. Coach Miller
will also stay busy by running
his business "Clarion House"
which is a bed and breakfast. He
also is a member of the Clarion
Borough Council.

Coach Miller's impact will be
felt for years to come partly
because of his successor Coach
Mark Van Dyke. Coach Van
Dyke takes over the program
after 12 years as Clarion's assis-
tant swim coach for both the
men's and women's swim teams.

"This is like a dream come true
for me," stated Van Dyke.

Coach Van Dyke has been a
pupil of Coach Miller almost all
of his life. They have known
each other since Coach Van
Dyke was 10 years old. Mark
Van Dyke attended camps of
Miller's until he was in high
school. Then Van Dyke attended
Seneca Valley High School
where Coach Miller coached
before Clarion. Van Dyke then
in college at South Florida

decided it was time to transfer.

Coach Van Dyke returned to

"I've learned a lot in my years
under Coach Miller and want to

this day," said Coach Van Dyke.

Coach Van Dyke will begin his
reign as head coach in May when
Bill Miller will officially retire.

The men's and women's Cross
Country Teams concluded their
season two weeks ago with their
trip to Regionals at Boston's
Franklin Park. Both teams did
do well, the men finished 15th
out of 29 teams and the women
finished 8th out of 32 teams.

Coach Mooney was pleased
with the performance of both
teams this season. "Both teams
had excellent seasons," Mooney
said. "The men took a step for-
ward this season while the
women were able to take that

step forward last season and
were able to maintain that level
this season even after losing
two of its top runners to gradua-
tion. The women's competition
in the east usaully has four to
five teams nationally ranked."

Both teams will be returning
four starters for next season. "I
like where we are headed,"
Mooney said. "We lose some
key people from both teams this
season, but I like what we have
to build with. I expect us to be
about the same next year and
then take another step forward
in two years."

Clarion women's volleyball wrap-up

by Jamie Sobeleski
Clarion Call S to ff Writer ^

First year Clarion University
women's volleyball coach Scott
Pennewill was pleased with their
16-18 overall record this year.
This especially after only arriv-
ing as the head coach less than
one month before the start of the
season in August.

"We were a little better than
what I anticipated going in not
really knowing what players
were going to step to the fore-
front because I hadn't really seen
any of them," Pennewill said.

Coach Pennewill believed that
there were three really big posi-
tives to take out of this season.
The first for Clarion was when
they defeated Slippery Rock on
the road. This enabled them to
get their first conference win. A
second positive for Clarion was
them winning the Kutztown
Tournament which included
them winning five matches in a
row. The third key moment of
the season was when Clarion
beat the regionally ranked
Fairmont State Eagles late in the
season.

Coach Pennewill believes there
were many strengths to the sea-
son. Division I transfer Shannon
Bowen led Clarion with 424
kills, 356 digs, and 37 service

aces on the year. In addition
Shannon was second on the team
with a hitting percentage of .221.
Sophomore captain Ali Graham
broke into the record books this
season by posting 1,272 assists,
the second highest season assist
total ever. Also, Ali Graham
was second with service aces
with a total of 47.
Other statistical leaders were
freshman Kerry Hutchinson with
412 kills and 112 total blocks.
Elizabeth Stadler rounded out
her first year with 225 kills and
108 blocks.

Another positive force for the
Clarion Golden Eagles was out-
side hitter junior, Amanda Baer.
Baer was third on the team with
246 kills and was second on the
team with 315 digs. She was
also tied for fourth on the team
with 35 blocks.

Next year looks promising for
the Eagles as senior Jessa
Canfield will return from shoul-
der surgery. Jessa said, "I've
just started rehab, but I feel
good. It's going to take a while
for me to be 100%, but I'm going
to work hard to be back and
stronger for next season."

Coach Pennewill looks toward
next season and hopes to
improve on conference play and
be more consistent.

APSCUF and SSHE contract ratified

by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

A new three-year contract
was ratified November by
APSCUF members and the
State System of Higher
Education Board of Directors.
The new contract was reached
after several months of negoti-
ations.

During the days of
November 15th and 16th,
members of APSCUF from
each of the 14 state system
voted on the ratification. Out
of 4,7600 eligible voters, a
total of 2,749 members voted

in favor of the ratification.
With 57.8 percent in favor of
the ratification, the vote
reached a majority and the
proposition was passed by
APSCUF.

The Board of Governors
voted on the ratification
November 19th. They unani-
mously approved the new con-
tract and both parties com-
mented that they feel the con-
tract is a fair settlement for
both sides

motion which took place in Clarion on Monday.

to the new contract, the state
system may only claim owner-
ship of intellectual property if
substantial university equip-
ment or support was provided.
If equipment or support was
provided, at least 60 percent of
the profit will go to the faculty
member until the costs provid-
ed by the university is repaid.
Afterward, the faculty member
will receive at least 70 per-
cent.

Temporary faculty members
who have worked full time for
the university for five years or
more can be placed in tenure
track status depending on the
recommendation of permanent
department faculty members.
If the department denies tenure
track status, the performance
of the faculty member can be
reviewed every four years to
determine if their status should
be changed. If the status is
approved by the department,
but rejected by the university
president, then the courses
taught by the temporary facul-
ty member cannot continue to
be instructed by that individ-
ual for at least two years.

Along with the new con-
tract, the Board of Governors
approved a five-percent pay
increase based on merit for
state system managers. The
pay increase will not automat-
ically be issued, but will be
awarded on the performance of
the employee. For more infor-
mation about the new contract,

site at www.apscuf.com or the

Highs and lews of the last
semester of the ndllerxium

It's that time of the year again, the semester is
winding down, finals are looming in the distance
and it's time for the university and community to
receive their report card. So, here are the highs and
lows of the semester.

+ The new recreation center opening. State of
the art equipment, an indoor track, and a climbing
wall provides Clarion students with another outlet
for the stress of classes.

+ Chandler Dining Hall's renovations were com-
pleted and the dining area looks spectacular. Wish
we could say the same for the food.

+ Autumn Leaf Festival was a success once
again. Clarion reaches the record books with
Foodstock '99. Over 38,000 items were collected
to put Clarion as the community that collected the
most food in a 24 hour period.

- The labor dispute between APSCUF and SSHE
continued for way too long. Students couldn't con-
centrate on their studies because they were worry-
ing if the semester was going to end early.

- Was it necessary to build a cul-de-sac in the
middle of campus during the semester? The
construction made it hard to walk across campus
and it makes the campus look bad.

+/- Parking got a little better/ but must Public
Safety be so ticket happy?

+/- Public Safety reinstated the escort service/
but it needs to be expanded to include off-campus
students as well.

Your Views

Administrator responds to letter

Dear Editor,

I wouldn't ordinarily address something in
this manner, but since the student who submit-
ted the letter to the editor on athletics in the
November 18th Call chose to remain anony-
mous, I cannot address that individual person-
ally. I feel obligated to say something, howev-
er, because of the gross errors in the informa-
tion presented in that letter.

Firstly, there is absolutely no NCAA regula-
tion which requires that a school's athletic pro-
gram be comprised of 60% male and 40%
female athletes. That happens to be the
approximate ratio at Clarion at this time, but
the NCAA has no rule relative to male/female
ratios. There is federal legislation, Title IX,
which requires equity in athletics, but the state-
ment regarding an NCAA order is simply a dis-
tortion of fact.

Secondly, the actual 1999/2000 athletic
scholarship budget is $529,034. There are
approximately 340 athletes. If it were true that
athletic scholarship funds were raised by the
sale of raffle tickets, each athlete would need
to sell an average of $1,555 in tickets.

Obviously this is not the case. In fact, no rev-
enue from athletes raffle ticket sales goes into
scholarships. The money raised from these raf-
fle tickets goes into the budgets of the individ-
ual teams and funds such things as the baseball
and softball teams' spring trip. The fact is,
then, that each team's program reaps all the
benefits from raffle tickets sold by the team
members.

The athletic scholarship budget is funded as
follows: 55% from the University Foundation
and athletic camps. 30% from interest on ath-
letic endowments and funds, previous year's
budget carry over, scoreboard advertising, and
parking. 15% from PIAA, concessions, golf
tournament and Pepsi.

Lastly, the article which the letter to the edi-
tor responded to was not written by Mr.
Carlson. If the writer of the article gave undue
credit to Mr. Carlson, the criticism should be
directed at the writer, not at Mr. Carlson.
Sincerely,

George Curtis, Vice President of Student
Affairs

'leant remember truss-
ing a Christmas Eve at
Grandmas' house."

Bonne Sasse

Christmas Eve at Grandmas'

Every Christmas Eve, since 1950,
aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers, sisters,
and friends gather at my Grandma
Kristyak's house to celebrate Christmas
. Relatives from Florida, New York,
Ohio, and various parts of Pennsylvania
come to be with one another.

My grandma lives in the country in
Mercer County, Pennsylvania along
Route 62. She lives in a white two-
story house that has been there for more
than 40 years. Her driveway is small,
and the ground is soft When people
park too far in her driveway, they get
stuck in the mud.

There's enough food to feed an army.
Grandma prepares a chicken or a turkey
on the 23rd of December. She also
fixes hornemade stuffing made from
bread, oysters, onions, oleo, and a few
other items.' She says, "I add every-
thing but the kitchen sink in it"
Either my mom or grandma peel the
potatoes, and after die turkey is done,
one of them makes the gravy. Other
food at Grandma's include potato chips
or pretzels, homemade rolls, cranber-
ries, hornemade peach or apple pie, nut
bread, cake, cookies, pickled vegeta-
bles, pop or punch, coffee, tea, and
milk, American, swiss, pepper, kng-
hom, and a few other kinds of cheeses
are placed on a tray and put on the table
too. My Aunt \al brings deviled eggs
each year. Grandma makes a jello salad
which contains bananas, fruit cocktail,
and walnuts. Uncle John brings pickled

vegetables every year. Dadandlgetthe
pop or the punch and the chips.

Whenever the turkey or chicken is
done, usually the first uncle to arrive
carves it Whenever the potatoes are
done, once again the first uncle to arrive
gets to whip and mash them adding
milk and butter.

Each year Grandma says, Tm not
fixing a lot this year, just enough for a
sandwich and a cup of coffee." But, as
usual, there's always plenty of food for
seconds, thirds, and even fourths.

One of the main features and tradi-
tions at Grandma's house is her star.
The star is made out of metal clothes
hangers, two sets of blinking lights, and
garland My mom made it, and she
fixes it up whenever something goes
wrong with it The star is about 2 feet
high and 2 feet wide. My dad used to
put it ontop of Grandma's house.
People driving down the road, could
see it almost a 1/2 mile away blinking
on and off. But the last few years,
Grandma's been putting the star in the
picture window of her living room
because her ioof became old, weak, and
unsafe for climbing.

Relatives begin to arrive from 1 p m
to 9p.m. Whenever they first arrive,
they either give Grandma a present or
place it under her 2-foot artificial
Christmas tree in the living room
Grandma hasn't had areal tree since the
late 70's because she lives atone, and it

Editorial

It's amazing how
much you can learn
in three short
montksS'

Jeff Say, Editor-in-Chief

It just seems like yesterday that
I wished everyone a great semes-
ter and promised them a quality
paper in the first issue of the
CALL. Not to sound cliched, but
man does time fly.
Three months and eleven news-
papers down, and the semester is
finished. The CALL has had a
productive semester, but not
without our controversies and
set-backs. It's amazing how
much you can learn in three short
months. When I first started in
the position of Editor-in-Chief, I
had no clue what I was doing, I
felt like a deer in the headlights.
Now I feel like the deer that got
hit by the car that owned the
aforementioned headlights.

Not that the semester has been
that bad, I think I juggled the
responsibility of Editor and the
full time job as student in a
decent manner. But, it's time for
a break. And with breaks come
changes and the CALL is under-
going some changes of its own.

After having everything imag-
inable go wrong with our office
equipment this semester, we
decided it was time to upgrade
into the 21st century. After

receiving funds from the Student
Senate, without whom this
would have been impossible, we
upgraded almost everything in
the office.

You, the reader may ask, "okay
that's all fine and dandy, but how
does this affect me?" And my
answer is, "it doesn't'", we just
have new, cool gadgets to play
with. Seriously, this will help us
put out a higher quality paper in
(hopefully) a quicker time frame.
It also enables communication
majors a chance to learn on
equipment and software that is
being used now, not ten years
ago.

Next semester will also bring
style changes that have been
discussed this semester, it might
not be extremely noticeable but
the CALL is evolving, preparing
itself for the Millennium.

And so with this, the last issue
of the Call for the 20th century,
myself and the CLARION
CALL staff would like to wish
everyone a happy and safe holi-
day season.

Hope you're all Y2K compli-
ant!!!

OPINION

Public Safety
strikes again

My fellow students,

Arriving on campus today (for my work-study job), I parked
at a meter and paid for three hours. Upon returning (2 and a
half hours later), I found an orange boot on my car. Now,
although I did not purchase a parking permit, I was under the
impression that if you paid the meter, you would not be ticket-
ed. Also, person's displaying permits who park at meters (and
pay) get ticketed anyway!

When asked, Public Safety said that I got booted for my five
tickets prior to today. Fine, I'll pay to remove the orange
monstrosity... .what? I can be booted immediately if my car is
ever on campus again, even after I pay the fine? In other
words, I am going to get punished multiple times for one
"crime"? And according to their own handbook, Public Safety
cannot ticket, or boot, my car if it is in a paid meter
space... exactly how much is the persons who made these rules
getting paid? If it is above minimum wage, it shouldn't be. I
know a lot of us pay large amounts of money just to attend,
and the price of getting a boot removed ($30 plus ticket fines)
should be considered a slap in the face by people whose
salaries are being paid by us!

Ooh, I forgot that I have something else to look forward to,
a rude "officer" removing the boot. The last time I paid $54
to get a boot removed, the officer was making jokes about my
having to pay such a high fine.

So, it is not only unusual punishment, but it is also cruel as
well. Hmm. I'm certainly glad that I am getting my monies
worth out of this school.

Glad to be graduating in May,
Jon Hall

P.S. Does this mean they can ticket my car at graduation cere-
mony as a nice little "going-away" present?
P.S.S. They don't take credit cards either.. .even Comic Books
101 takes credit cards. Get with this century before it ends

Sassel Christmas Eve at Grandmas', from Page 3.

her to handle (watering, picking up the needles,

etc.)
Since I only live 1 fl mile down the road, I arrive
anytime during the day. I'll pop in and out dur-
ing the morning to see how the preparation is
going for the celebration. My mom and my sis-
ter usually arrive late morning and stay until
everything is cleaned up and put away. Dadand
I arrive around 4 pjn. and 5 pia Westaytong
enough to get something to eat and talk a little bit,
and then we leave.

Since I have nine uncles and aunts on my
mom's side of the family, many children show up
also. Many times the children get stuck in the liv-
ing room while the men sit at the table catching
up on the latest news or reminiscing about old
times. The women are usually picking up the
mess, washing the sink full or dirty dishes, mak-
ing a fiesh pot of coffee, or doing whatever else
needs to be done. Every once in a while an adult
will check on the kids. Sometimes the kids will
have to be told to quit body slamming one anoth-
er or to quit putting each other in headtocks.

Many times the children sing Christmas songs
such as "Jingle Bells", "Frosty the Snowman",
"Santa Oaus is Coming to Town", and Rudolph

the Red-Nosed Reindeer".

Lady will be experiencing her first Christmas
this year at Grandma's. Lady is a dog that
Grandma received last spring or summer from
one of my uncles. I don't know what breed of
dog Lady is. She's black, gray, and white.

Through the years, Christmas Eve at
Grandma's has changed. In the early years, a
Mend of the family's, Dave Young, would dress
up as Santa Claus and bring small presents for the
children. Grandma would give each family a
cloth calendar, she also gave the boys a plastic
gun and the girls a purse or a small dalkboard.
Each family would get their pictures taken in
front of the real Christmas tree. There would be
tons of people and many would end up sitting on
the floor throughout the house. Grandma wcxikl
open her presents while everyone stood around
and watched Relatives would stay all afternoon
and evening. Grandma says, "Those were the
days." Now, in recent years, Santa Oaus doesn't
get their picture takea Some relatives bring cam-
eras to snap a few pictures, but not as many as
before. There's enough room for people not to
have to sit on the floor. Helen, my sister says,
"The kids back when I was little, aren't little any-

more, and they're having kids of their own. So
things have change quite a bit" Relatives stay for
maybe two hours at the most and then they leave.
Grandma waits and opens her presents either
after everyone has gone home and just my mom
and sister are still there or she waits until
Christmas morning to open them.

Grandma is 75 years old This past year has
been a bad year as far as her health goes. Ijust
wonder how many Christmas Eves will take
place at Grandma's in the future. I can't remem-
ber missing aChristmas Eve at Grandma's house.
Even though Christmas Eves at Grandma's have
changed throughout the years, this tradition will
take place as long as Grandma is alive.
Hopefully, that will be for many more years.

I consider myself very lucky because I still have
relatives who together at least once a year. In this
work! there are people living on the streets or in
foster homes because they don't care about or
can't afford to have gatherings. I really feel sorry
for these people.

So Christmas Eve at Grandma's isn't just for
family. If someone wants to bring a friend, they
are more than welcome- the more the merrier. In
the past years, when Grandma would give small

presents to everyone, she would always have
extra just in case someone brought a friend with
them so no one was left out

People who have family traditions such as I
have and who know others who are going to be
by themselves, should ask these people if they
would like to join them. Just asking these people
if they would like to be a part of a family cele-
bration would make them feel they are wanted or

special.
Christinas is a very special time of the year. It

is not just for the family and relatives but also for
those who are asked to go some place when they
would be spending that time atone. Ifyouknow
someone such as this, don't go 'out of your way'
to ask them if they would like to join you and
your family, but go 'out of the goodness of your
heart' and show these people that you care about
them. Christmas is the time to celebrate Jesus
coming into the world. Why not celebrate it that
way along with celebrating bringing someone
other than your family into your home? It would
make that person fed good, and it would also
make you feel good.

Student Senate

First increase to the student activity fee in three years

by Angela Everly

Clarion Call News Editor and

Kristie Linden

Clarion Call Staff Writer

The student activity fee has been
increased for the first time in
three years at the Student Senate
meeting on Monday, December 6.
The activity fee is currently
$100 for full time students and the
increase of $10.00 will become
effective during the fall semester
of 2000, pending final approval
by Dr. Diane Reinhard.

Students taking nine to eleven
credits will pay one-half of the
$110, while students taking one to
eight credits will pay one-fourth
of the activity fee.

Half of the ten dollars will help
to fund the transportation propos-
al. The proposal will bring a bus
system to service the university
and community next fall.

The remaining $5.00 will be
used by Senate in the budgeting
process for campus organization
funding.

Treasurer Brian Sowa said, "The
budget requests for organizations
have increased dramatically."
The increase in the activity fee is
needed to help cover additional
funding that the organizations
may request.

During the appropriations com-
mittee report Treasurer Sowa
announced the account balances.
In the Large Item Capital there is
$270,013.33. This account was
increased by $61,038 from a
deposit of one-half of the 1998-99
University Book Store profits.
The Capital Account currently has
$93,096.19; the Supplemental
Reserve Account has $28,329.53;
and the Supplemental Account
has $19,300.51.

Senate approved a motion made
by Treasurer Sowa to allocate
$4,000 from the Capital Account
to the Student Activities Office
for the purchase of a touch-screen
informational Kiosk, pending the
approval of Reinhard.

The Kiosk which is being built
by Dr. Susan Hilton's

Communication 471 class will be
placed in Gemmell. It will con-
tain information about the univer-
sity regarding organizations avail-
able, a campus, community, and
regional map, course view, finan-
cial aid information, and answers
to questions most often asked by
students and parents.

Treasurer Sowa moved to allo-
cate $5,808 from the
Supplemental Reserve Account to
the University Cheerleaders, for
registration fees for the NCA
Collegiate National

Championship.

University Theatre was allocat-
ed $4,050 from the Supplemental
Account for the Kennedy Center/
American College Theatre
Festival, which Clarion will host
for the first time in January.

There will be over 900 students
from Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey,
New York, and Washington D. C.
attending the festival. Several
plays will be performed along
with scholarship opportunities,

competitions, and workshops.

Pending the approval of
Reinhard, the University Theatre
will recieve $7,671.16 from the
Large Item Capital for the pur-
chase of two follow spots. Once
the lights are purchased it will
complete the $85,000 upgrade.

In new business, Dr. Deon
Knickerbocker and Dr. Rashelle
Karp discussed the upcoming clo-
sure and relocation of the library.
This is due to construction which
will begin in May. All in all the
construction will only take 15
months from start to finish.

The main public areas will be
relocated to the Gemmell Multi-
purpose area.

Books that will be housed in the
building on Sixth Avenue will not
be publicly accessible to students.
These books will need to be
requested and will be retrieved for
students in a half of a day.

"We hope to not have a great
inconvenience to you (the stu-
dents)," said Knickerbocker.

The library is currently devising

ways to have evening hours so
that they will have three off-cam-
pus book runs a day.

Students will be able to vote on
prospective library furniture early
in the spring semester. Displays
will be set-up in the Gemmell
Multi-Purpose area by four differ-
ent venders. Some of the furni-
ture needed will be study carels,
lounge furniture, and other nec-
cessary items.

In other business, Senator Bobbi
Bothell moved to recognize the
International Radio and
Television Society (IRTS) and
Alpha Epsilon Rho. The National
Broadcast Society merged with
the IRTS to create the new organi-
zation. Alpha Epsilon Rho is an
honorary organization of IRTS.
She said that the organizations are
not seeking funding from Senate
and only wish to be recognized.

Parliamentarian Mike Mangieri
presented Senate with the pro-
posed revisions to the current by-
laws. These revisions will be
voted on next semester.

Firment to speak at Commencement

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor

Elissa A. Firment, a Special
Education and Elementary major,
was selected as the Fall 1999
Student Commencement speaker.

Firment, the daughter of Ronald
and Suzan Firment of Greensburg,
will address the students at the
December 18 ceremony in Tippin
Gymnasium.

The topic of the address will
focus on how Clarion has affected
the type of person that Firment has
become.

"Being at Clarion has taught me
a lot and has brought me a lot of
experiences. The lessons that I
have learned here have made me
very fortunate," Firment said.

Firment is currently student
teaching at Clarion Limestone.

At Clarion, Firment was
involved in the Pennsylvania State
Education Association (PSEA),
Kappa Delta Pi Educational
Honorary Society, and had worked
in the Office of Alumni Relations
for several years.

Firment also works many hours
at UCIP and works with adults
who have special needs or learning
disabilities.

"Clarion and the people I met
here have meant a lot to me in the
past four and a half years," she
added.

Students who are eligible to
apply for the Student
Commencement speaker are invit-

ed to submit a written manuscript
to uie committee by a selected
date.

Firment was selected as the
Commencement speaker after a
committee reviewed all of the
applications that were submitted.

In the spring, two students will
be selected as the Commencement
speakers for the two ceremonies.

In order for the Student Recreation Center
to promote a safe and enjoyable environ-
ment for all consumers, management
requires that each student show a valid
Clarion University Student ID upon entry.
This ID is not only your pass to use the
facility, but will enable students to borrow
the equipment needed for open court activi-
ties. In addition, University clubs related to
recreational activities have the opportunity
to reserve the center's meeting room as

well as the multi-purpose room.
Management apologizes for the wall climb-
ing delay, yet we are confident that the wall
climbing area will be open to all students
by December. The informational line is

A message from abroad

Clarion University students teach in London

. . «»r li. ._ c _~ «... .«,>,,„;.,„ in ih,. 1 I k" An *»Y'imnlf Ml

by Kara Wiand

and Carrie Huber

Clarion Call Contributing Wfjtew

Have you ever wondered why you
go to class, sit in the same chair, and
daydream about the world around
you? No matter if you are a fresh-
man or a senior, we have all gone
through the same experiences...some
more than others! For the past four
years, we did the same thing, until
last April.

In April, we decided we wanted to
get the most out of our four-year col-
lege education before we graduated.
People at Clarion have told us all
sometime throughout our college
career that they would provide a
wide range of learning opportunities
to explore. We decided to inquire
about one of those learning experi-
ences that they offer.

If you are sitting there thinking the
same thing, than it's time you moti-
vate yourself and do something
about it.

Last semester we, along with Jaime
Stanczak, Joelin Schimitt, and Tara
Smith all decided to not leave
Clarion wondering what we could
have done with our majors. Instead,
we all begged and bugged Dr. Mckee
and the education department to send
us abroad to teach. Who would have
ever thought one semester later and a
weeks before we graduate, that we
would be telling you this story from

our flat in London, England.

November 1, 1999, after a full day
of disastrous events, we all boarded
United Airlines waving good-bye to
those we knew and didn't know. As
we sat in our seats waving goodbye,
reality started to set in. Everyone
around us looked, smelled, and even

get through customs and baggage
claim without any major problems.
We were off to find our new home in
a city that we would learn to love or
hate.

When we first settled into our flat
at 14 Lisson Grove, we nearly forgot
what we were here for. Actually,

cation department teaches a classroom of students in

spoke differently than us.

It was a very long flight, but we all
managed to snuggle next to our new
friends and sleep. Soon the plane
started to decline and we all realized
that once we stepped off this airline,
our lives would change forever.
Slowly but surely, we managed to

teaching was the farthest thing from
our minds. Instead, we were think-
ing how to experience the city in
many ways by sight seeing, shop-
ping, eating, and of course seeing
what pubs were all about

The funny thing is it only took us a
few short days to accomplish all of

that. We even were able to figure out
how to look, act, and talked like
those who have lived in London for
years. So it was time to conquer the
most challenging quest of the whole
trip...teaching!!!

As we walked to our schools we
couldn't help thinking about our edu-
cation. We were nervous that we
wouldn't have what it takes. We
entered the schools with courage and
sat in the back of the classrooms to
observe and listen to the children.
We weren't scared anymore about
this new place, rather we were ready
to test all of the years of schooling
that we had.

It sounds a little weird that we were
nervous about teaching in this new
country. But think about it. We had
just completed our eight-week stu-
dent teaching placements in schools
that were considered very rural.
Most of our worries about these
placements in schools that were
learning the students' names and
finding a place to park.

Now, we were challenged with
learning a new vocabulary and
adjusting our philosophy of teaching.
A new vocabulary consisting of
words like: cheeky, loo, queue
fancy, plaster, cheerio, cross, and
many more.

Another part to learning new
vocabulary is learning that a word in
the U.S. may have a whole different

meaning in the U.K. An example of
this when Kara told a male student to
use a 'period' at the end of a sen-
tence. In England, a 'period' is
called a 'full stop'; and a 'period' is
well...

Most people say a good teacher is
someone who can be flexible and
can adjust to any environment What
we've learned in the past weeks is
that a good teacher should be these
things but also they should be willing
to change their philosophies and
their views on teaching as well as
life. If we are not willing to adapt
our ideas and accept change, we will
never make it in the world of educa-
tion.

On December 18, there will be
many of us walking across the stage
waving to friends and family as our
college years flash in front of us. As
the five of us walk across the stage
waving and smiling to those we
know and don't know, we can feel a
sense of achievement We all have
taken that extra step to get the most
out of our education. Not many peo-
ple can say that so it's time for you
to plan ahead and experience the
world.

Andfmally...to our flatmates, this
was the experience of a lifetime for
us and we're glad we shared it with
you. To our family, friends, and Dr.
McKee, thank you for your support
and BELIEVING in us!!!!!

Debate team talks their way to a win

by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Over 100 people who were
crammed into Hart Chapel
Tuesday, November 30, voted the
Clarion Debate team the winners
of a public debate which was held
at 7:30 p.m. Allegheny College
was on hand to debate Clarion
University on whether students
should be able to say how their
activity fees are used.

Dr. Anand Rao, advisor of the
Clarion University Speech and
Debate teams, asked the audience
at the end of the debate to move to
the left side of the theatre if they
wanted to vote for the Clarion
team or move to the right side of
the theatre if they wanted to vote
for the Allegheny team. Over 60
people voted for the Clarion team
during this process.

Clarion students Scott

O'Donnell and Courtney Morton
argued the affirmative side of the
issue while Allegheny students
Tamara Pavasovic and Jen
Scheller said that students should
not be allowed to discriminate
which organizations are given
money.

Allison Rilling, president of
Clarion University's Speech and
Debate teams, explained the topic
and the format of the debate. She
said the debate would consist of
six speeches. The first four
speeches were constructive
speeches designed to introduce
the topic according to each side.
These speeches were each fol-
lowed by a cross-examination
period. The debate would then
end with two rebuttal speeches.

The plan introduced by the
Clarion team stated that at the
beginning of the semester, all stu-
dents will receive a list of every

on-campus organization. The stu-
dents then can choose how much
money to give to the organization
they choose to support.

The Allegheny team argued that
if the plan allows students to
choose who receives their money,
certain organizations with low
membership would be discrimi-
nated against. By allowing these
organizations to dissolve, new stu-
dents will not have the opportuni-
ty to be a part of the organization
or to keep it going. Pavasovic and
Scheller provided several options
to the affirmative plan. First, they
indicated being an active partici-
pant in the student government. If
students do not approve of where
their money is going, then they
should be the ones deciding which
organizations receive funding.
Second, they suggested that stu-
dents should go to a different
school if they are opposed to cer-

tain organizations. If the student
is against an organization, they
should go to a school that doesn't
have the club. Finally, they said
that students should use their free
speech and form as an opposition
group. Then they will be able to
publicly voice their opposition to
another organization.

In the end, both teams felt that
their participation in the event was
positive. O'Donnell said, "I hope
the public debates enlighten stu-
dents about issues on campus and
I hope students will take an active
role in where their activities fees
go." Pavasovic, an international
student from Serbia, said that she
enjoyed the debate that evening
and expressed how she felt she
benefitted from the debate.

"Debate is the best thing I did in
college. It really improved my
critical thinking skills and is a lot
of fun," she said.

Clarion student receives Kennedy Center internship

by Maria Massie
Clarion Call Secretary

Clarion native, Keith
Kuzmovich who is an elective
studies of business major (for-
merly music marketing), is cur-
rently an intern for the John F.
Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts in Washington
D.C. His main duties are
researching, collecting informa-
tion, organizing information to
be placed on the web site, and
making sure the gathered infor-
mation is reputable. As an
intern, he has been assigned to

work on ArtsEdge, an internet
education site that includes infor-
mation for students and teachers.
ArtsEdge includes various
news stories, web spotlights, and
lesson plans on any subject.
Also, ArtsEdge is a way for stu-
dents from different countries to
communicate with each other by
writing "postcards" over the web
site. Another highlight of the
web site is the African Odyssey
which features the tour of
National Symphony Orchestra
through Africa.
Kuzmovich is also working on

Latin American Odyssey. This
part of ArtsEdge will feature,
when finished, works by Latino
artists, and demographics, geog-
raphy, history, and lifestyles
information on Latin American
countries.

Kuzmovich works full-time
and attends weekly seminars
which he learns about art man-

Come get stuck on the Clarion band Glue Monkey

by Lori A. Matachak

For all of you out there who are
Glue Monkey fans or have heard of
the band but don't know much about
them-here's a look into how the
band came about and what they
have been up to.

It all started last May when
Apathetic Blues were playing at the
University Inn. Tracy Rankin,
vocals and harmonica player for
Glue Monkey, was playing with
them at the time. After the show,
Matt Ellison, guitarist for Glue
Monkey, came up to Tracy and
talked with him about getting
together to play sometime. With the
two of them casually knowing one
another, they arranged a time and
place and that is where it all began
for Glue Monkey.

Soon after, JJ. Kifer (Drummer),
Ryan Buckley (Bass), and Lori
Dietz (Vocals) joined the band and
put the finishing touches on the
established band

Not long after the band started play-
ing together, some conflicts arose.
Playing together as a band became
difficult due to personal conflicts
among members and eventually
Lori and Ryan left the band

Glue Monkey, who was hurting for
a bass player, pulled in Tracy's good
friend Derek Bish to join the band.
Bish jammed with Rankin and
Ellison in the beginning jam ses-
sions, but as the band started to
become established, Bish decided
not join the band due to personal dif-

of the University Inn. After that
night, Chris Smith, owner of the
University Inn, continued to let Glue
Monkey use the basement for gigs
that entire summer. "Chris has been
wonderful to us. He lets us play gigs
at the U.I. practically whenever we
want It's great to be able to play

ferences also.

Not even ten days after Bish joined
the band (and by the way, who is not
gay!), Glue Monkey won the Battle
of the Bands in Pittsburgh. Soon
after, Glue Monkey had their first
gig on July 31, 1998 in the basement

Inside
life

there, especially since that's what
we enjoy to do," said Rankin. That
night, Glue Monkey pulled in a
crowd of about 120 people the night
of their first gig.

Glue Monkey continued to play in

and Gisella & Enzo's and eventual-
ly made their way out of the area
and started playing gigs in
Ridgeway, Punxatawney, Indiana
University of Pennsylvania, and in
Pittsburgh. The band has also
played for private parties.
Now you're wondering, how did
Glue Monkey come up with their
name? Actually, it is quite interest-
ing. Glue Monkey came up with
their name by involving urban
mythology into the names meaning.
Names were tossed out between the
members and out of nowhere some-
one shot out "Glue Monkey". The
thing is, you are not going to get an
actual meaning of their name by the
members of the band. The reason
why is because each band member
has a different meaning for Glue
Monkey. Basically, they'll just lie to
you! Enjoy it though if you ever ask
them, they have some pretty cool
analogies.

Tracy Rankin described Glue
Monkey to me as this- "It is the per-
son that is and hold everything
together that is Glue. Whoever does
the job is the Monkey."
As the band furthers its way into the
music industry, their abilities just do
not cut it What Glue Monkey
wants to do is just play. They enjoy
the music they write and enjoy even

more playing their songs and covers
for the public. "No one in this band
has any dreams of being rock stars,
we just want to play," said Rankin.
Right now Glue Monkey is in the
process of working on their first CD.
They are doing their own self-pro-
duction. The band is currently play-
ing 15 of their original songs at their
gigs. Even though the band plays
their own material and covers, Glue
Monkey still gets requests for their
original material and they just
absolutely love it! A favorite among
fans is .the song 'Whisper' which
was written in the first jam session
between Rankin and Ellison.
Also, in the future the band would
like to play in the festival circuit.
Glue Monkey wants you to come
out and have fun with them. It's
okay to break loose-you need to do
it-its how you slay sane. They just
want to celebrate.

We all work all week, either by
going to class or in a professional
field. We need to go out and have a
good time!

"Rock stars play in front of people,
musicians play for the people.
That's what we are trying to do!" So
keep an eye out for dates when Glue
Monkey will be playing, if you are
all about having a good time, seeing
them is the place to be!

mis year and instead hole myself up in
an underground bunker stocked with
Faygo Red Pop, countless boxes of
Fiddle Faddle, and enough good
movies to ensure that I don't get bored
when I turn out to be the only survivor
of the upcoming Y2K holocaust
Hopefully, everyone will heed my
advice and fill their survival bunkers
with the movies I've named as my
"Best of the Millennium" picks. I
don't want to be the only person alive
with an appreciation for cool flicks.

Since I'm not a "serious" film critic,
I suppose I can get away without
naming any obscure arty films like
'Dos Zapatos En Mi Bolca', the
heartwarming story of a gay Mexican
shoe salesman who yearns to leave
behind his humdrum life to become a
circus clown. You might not agree
with some of my "Best of the

Millennium" picks. But then again, I
probably wouldn't agree with yours
either.

'Citizen Kane': One of the few clas-
sics that's truly worth all the hype.
The story of billionaire Charles Foster
Kane's rise and fall from greatness,
'Citizen Kane' was both the begin-
ning and symbolic end of Orson
Welles' career. Despite the fact that
'Kane' is still regarded as one of the
best films ever made, RKO Pictures
took such a beating from newspaper
magnate William Randolph Hearst,
whose life 'Kane' was roughly based
on, that no movie ever allowed Welles
to have the same amount of creative
control on any of his future films.
You have to wonder what heights
Welles could have taken filmmaking
if only he hadn't made a group of
powerful enemies by striving for

greatness.

'GoodFellas': Martin Scorsece's
gangster epic proves once and for all
that Joe Pesri is the toughest man
alive. Violent, frightening, and com-
pletely unforgettable.

'Metropolis' : The only silent film on
my millennium list, Fritz Lang's mas-
terpiece about a machine-driven soci-
ety gone mad is every bit as astound-
ing today as it was during its initial
release. The fdm's elaborate special
effects and set design are especially
mind-blowing when you consider
that 'Metropolis' was made well over
70 years ago, during the "dark ages"
of the film industry. A must-see for
any serious film buff.

'Duck Soup': The Marx Brothers
were never funnier than during this
off-the-wall political satire. One of
the few comedies to withstand the test
of time and still be incredibly funny.
The Shawshank Redemption':
Come on. Just try and tell me that
you didn't get all weepy when the old
guy hung himself. I'm not ashamed
to admit that I did. 'Shawshank' is the
male tearjerker of the century.

'A Christmas Story': Somebody

The best albums of the 90s, part 2

by Keith B. Gwillim
Clarion CaU Lifest^lesEditor

Editor's Note: Well, here's the last
part of my list. Hope you enjoy it. If
you would like to send me your 'best
of the 90s' list, you can either drop
them off in the Call office, or e-mail
them to me at NewOrder586@hot-
maiLcom I'll publish them in the
January 27 issue of the CaU. Be sure
to include your name, phone #, and
address.

5) Dave Matthews Band - Under The
Tabfe And Dreaming (1994)

The fact that Matthews and his
cohorts were able to craft such a kalei-
doscopic fantasia erf an album on only
their second outing is all the praise
that Under The Table And Dreaming
needs.

A psychotropic trip of lush sound
collages, perfect pop melodies, and
brilliant instrumentation prowess,
Under The Table... firmly established
the Dave Matthews Band as the best
jam band since The Grateful Dead
DMB creates an irresistible mix of
world beat/jazz/folk/funk experi-
ments that fit inside the constraints of
a pop song, providing for constantly
enthralling results.

What separates them from lesser
peers like Blues Traveler is their play-
ing ability, painting the canvases of
the songs with swooning saxophone
passages and virtuoso violin playing.
The best moments of the album, like
"Ants Marching," and "Dancing
Nancies" combine trippy arrange-
ments and playful lyrics.

VVhimsical and reverent, Under The
Table... is an album that will constant-
ly enthrall you. Being a hippie hasn't

been this much fun since 1969.
4)U2-AchtungBaby(1991)

Remember the good old days, back
when Bono was a rock star, and not a
political lobbyist? Those were good
times, huh? Not that there's anything
wrong with a treatise on third-world
debt, but ya can't get your groove on
toil

AchtungBaby delves deeply into
the murky waters of European dance
and prog-rock, revealing a side of U2
that we'd never seen.

Equal parts Heroes-em Bowie and a
reflection of the early 90s English
craze 'Madchester,' the album is
brimming over with endless rhythms
and slowly unfolding melodies.
American pretensions were not the
only element of their music to go by
the wayside here; they've dropped the
religious overtones in favor of the per-
sonal.

Nearly every song on the album is

IIR

about heartbreak and betrayal, from
the heartstring-tugging ballad "One"
to the disturbing and brooding medi-
tation "Love Is Blindness." All hope
has been leeched out of the album
leaving such lines like "Love is clock-
works and cold steel." Bono throws a
rock through the glass window of
love, and makes the listener walk over
the broken shards with exposed feet
It's a style that U2 promptly aban-
doned on their next album, the mod-
erate Zoorvpa. Oh well.

(1991)

Forget the connotations that their
name conjures up; slasher metal this
ain't So what is it? Well, that's the
beauty of MBV- it's completely orig-
inal, like nothing before it, and noth-
ing since has quite come close to it
Other musical scholars have pinned
the label of "shoegazing" on it, for
want of a better term. But not only
does MB V's music define that short-
lived British music phenomenon, it
also transcends it, becoming an entity
of itself.

The music is avant-garde, ethereal,
booming, and arty without being pre-
tentious. Under the careful guiding of
mastermind Kevin Shields, Loveless
sculpts seemingly ttiree-dimensional
music that's both melodic and hap-
hazardly disorienting. Filled with
endless layers of white noise that pull
your attention in a thousand direc-
tions, each more fantastical than the
next Loveless immerses you in
another world, one that's strange and
enthralling.

Loveless is gently erotic, as the
sound washes in, caressing you, and
inducing a total dream state. Vocalist
Belinda Butcher's voice losses all
semblance to a human's, and is gendy
absorbed into the proceedings.
Guitars are screaming like a broken
woodchipper one second, and sighing
like an angel's breath the next, while
drums cascade down around the lis-
tener, sometimes barely perceptible,
and sometimes threatening to take on
a life their own.

The real attraction behind Loveless,
however, are the melodies, which are
so timeless and intricately beautiful
that your head almost bursts from the
sheer perfectness of them. But what's
so special about them, (and what
makes My Bloody Valentine such
legendary buggers) is that they've
chosen to bury them under an
avalanche of guitar sludge and white
noise chaos. Shields lets them slip to
the surface every so often, and when
he does, they shine like a bright red
rose petal floating in a sea of boiling
tar.
Loveless is the ultimate progressive

rock album, with textures that chal-
lenge the greats, including Robert
Fripp's work with King Crimson. It
sounds like the culmination of a life-
time's work. And perhaps that's the
reason they disappeared from the face
of the earth after this album - there
simply wasn't any way to improve
over the 'Fantasia' of an record they
created But I wish to hell they'd try.
2) R.E.M. - Automatic For The
People (1992)

Automatic For The People is an
epic, melancholy, and emotive rumi-
nation about love, death, loss, and all
things in between that stands as their
definitive work.

Michael Stipe should be in MENS A
for crafting such a soul-searching and
cathartic album, one that will nestle
up in your heart and inspire teary
dreams of both joy and sorrow.

John Paul Jones. The stately weeper
"Everybody Hurts" is a delicate and
heartfelt plea against suicide. The
simply wonderful Andy Kaufman
ballad "Man On The Moon" is a time-
less and poignant tune, and
"Nightswimming" is one of the best
love songs...ever. With Stipe's
unmatched voice, lines like "...and
what if there were two; side by side in
orbit around the fairest sun?" go
straight to the heart Stipe, a true
American poet, has never written so
personal before, and never has since
then.

Intensely personal, Automatic For
The People can be a tough listen at
times, but the ultimate message of
hope brings the album full-circle, and
the listener towards understanding

and completeness. A bittersweet jour-
ney of a thousand lonely nights,
Automatic For The People ultimate-
ly promises love in the end.
1) Radiohead - OK Computer (1997)
Arecord of this sheer magnitude and
staggering brilliance is a rare occur-
rence. OK Computer is a nightmar-
ish and pathos-laden statement of the
future; with all the elements blending
together.

OK Computer presents an oppres-
sively Qrwelian vision of the future.
Brimming over with tales that have
one thing in common - utter disillu-
sionment and absolute discontent -
OK Computer is a grand concept
album in the great tradition of prede-
cessors such as Dark Side Of The
Moon and The Wall.

Radiohead's previously overt Pink
Floyd obsessions reached landfall
here, spilling over, and drenching
every aspect of the album in 70's pro-
gressive rock aesthetics that collide
head-on with modem alternative rock
structures and cutting-edge electroni-
ca. This creates dizzying textures of
music. So vivid are the album's col-
ors that you can taste the smog in the
air, and feel the pain of the downtrod-
den and oppressed characters. The
bleak and despairing "Exit Music
(For A Film)" is a good example. To
say that death or insanity is preferable
in this futureworld seems to be lead
singer Thorn Yorke's reoccuring mes-
sage.

Songs like "No Surprises" and
"Subterranean Homesick Alien"
could be lost Floyd B-sides. Other
tracks, such as the mentally unhing-
ing, gothic "Climbing Up The Walls"
and the 3-part tour de force "Paranoid
Android" (which runs the gamut from
the Velvet Underground to the Beatles
in the space of six minutes) break
ground that is refreshingly new.

Thorn Yorke alternates between
fiery resistance and Prozac-induced
submission to the grey-on-black
future scenarios spitted out. In the
noise workout of "Hectioneering", he
screams of revolutionary politics; and
in the absolutely deceptively soothing
and elegiac "No Surprises" (which
has one of the hypnotizingly beautiful
melodies ever written) Thorn delivers
a sermon in a downer-haze, exhalting
in a croon "I'll take a quiet life; a
handshake, some carbon monoxide,
with no alarms and no surprises
please."

OK Computer is an intimidating
monolith. Just enjoy it while you can,
because remember, Big Brother is
watching you.

on Parents' Weekend, which is
a nice event that colleges hold
so that parents will have a

I started feeling old the

doing soft-core pornography.
Hmmmm. .1 wonder if he ever did a
scene wearing that God-awful pink
bunny suit?

The Jerk': Coming right at the peak
of his popularity as an avant garde
comedian, absolutely nothing about
Steve Martin's first movie makes any
sense whatsoever. Perhaps, that's why
'The Jerk' is funnier than seeing some-
one you don' t like fall down a flight of
steps.

'Full Metal Jacket': The second half
is a crashing bore, but the first half of
'Full Metal Jacket' is simultaneously
unsettling and captivating, enough so
to secure it a cozy place on my "Best of
the Millennium" list

'The Big Lebowski': 'Fargo' was
overrated. 'Raising Arizona' was fun.
But as a purely guilty pleasure,
'Lebowski' outshines any film that
Ethan and Joel Coen have made, thus
far. Hands down the oddest, funniest
film of the 90s.

'Pink Flamingos': Transvestite actor
Divine proves once and for all that
she's the filthiest person alive in the
most tasteless film of all time. It's sad,
but in the twenty-odd years since
'Flamingos' was released, there hasn't
been another film that's come close to
being this completely nasty and social-
ly irredeemable.

Hopefully, New Year's Eve won't
result in the world blowing up after all.
I'd hate to have to spend the remainder
of my life as across between Mad Max

things do get screwy on January 1st
and half of civilization gets wiped out,
I want to announce to all eligible ladies
that I'm ready and willing to breed

restart the human race. Which reminds
me.. J wonder if Salma Hayek would

Men's basketball team opens with 5-2 record

by John C. Crawford
^ Clarion Call Staff Writer ^

The Clarion Golden Eagles
men's basketball team has
opened the 1999-2000 season
with a 5-2 mark. The Eagles'
offense has carried over from
last year, despite losing several
key players. Tamir Harbin
paces the team, averaging 20.6
ppg. Forward David Shearer
has been pulling down 10.9
boards a game, and is scoring
18.1 ppg. The team has four
players in double figures in
scoring.

The Eagles took two wins in
the Subway/ KFC Classic in
Clarion to open the season.
The Classic took place the
weekend of November 19.
Harbin, Shearer and guard
Chris Kelley (12.9 ppg, 6.0 rpg)
were named to the all-tourna-
ment team for their perfor-
mances.

Clarion opened with a win
over Saginaw Valley. Saginaw
held close in the early going,
but Clarion assumed a six point
lead at the half. The Eagles
tried to build on the lead, but
the game ended by the same
margin as the half, 85-79.
Kelley led the way with 20

points. Three others had 15 or
more.

Clarion downed Kutztown for
their second win. After the first
two minutes, the Eagles never
trailed. Their largest lead of
the game came in the second,
when Clarion led 70-36.
Clarion took the victory 88-59.

Clarion absorbed its first loss
on November 23 to visiting
Mansfield. The Eagles went
into the game with only nine
active players. Clarion watched
a 13 -point lead evaporate to a
36-36 halftime tie. Clarion
rebuilt the lead to seven several
times in the second half, but
came up short in the last
minute, losing 85-81. All five
starters were in double-digits in
scoring.

November 29, Clarion trav-
eled to Cresson, Pa to take on
Mt. Aloysius. The Eagles
trounced the Mountaineers in
the first half, and never looked
back, winning 98-63. Thirteen
players contributed points in an
all-around effort. Chris Kelley
led the way with 28 points,
including a six for six effort
from the arc.

The next day, the Eagles took
their road show to Elkins, W.V.
to tip-off against Davis &

Elkins. Shearer and Harbin
dominated, with 29 and 20
points respectively. Harbin
went four of nine shooting
threes. Shearer brought down
17 rebounds to contribute to the
88-75 win.

Clarion hosted Daemen on
December 2. The Eagles never
trailed in the 76-62 win.
Harbin had 26 points. Shearer
chipped in 17 points and 12
rebounds. Allen Stevens had
15 points and 13 rebounds from
the center spot.

The Eagles played Mansfield
again, on the road, on
December 6th. The team did
not control the boards, and it
showed. They fell behind early,
and struggled to get back into
the game, trailing 36-25 at the
half. With 2:20 in the second
half, Clarion closed the gap to
68-65. Mansfield pulled away,
and took the victory 80-72.

Clarion's next action will be
at the West Virginia Tech
Tournament, on December 10
and 11. The Eagles will see
down time for the winter break,
and be back on the floor
January 7, at the Pizza Hut
Classic. The next regular home
game will be January 10,
against Goldey-Beacom.

Lantz lost for the season

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

Christina Lantz had a com-
plete season in the span of three
games. A few weeks ago Lantz
was named "PSAC Player of the
Week." She averaged 21 points
a game and lead the Lady
Golden Eagle Basketball Team
in rebounds. This helped propel
the Lady Golden Eagles to a
quick 3-0 mark. But in that
same week in their win against
University of Pitt-Johnstown the
bottom dropped out for
Christina Lantz.

Lantz bumped her knee off an
opposing players knee while
going up for a rebound against
Pitt-Johnstown. In this process
Lantz tore her ACL in her knee,
she will now miss the remainder
of the season. She is scheduled
to have an MIR sometime this
week.

"The doctor said I would prob-
ably have surgery in two weeks.

Once that healed I could start
training for next year," said
Lantz.

Since Lantz's injury the Lady
Golden Eagles have dropped
three straight. Which includes
losses down south to Belmont
Abbey and St.Paul's in Virginia.
But Lantz has confidence in her
team. They will be looking to
Miesha Henry and Melissa
Yearous to take on more of a
scorers role.

"The great thing about those
two is they help everyone out on
and off the court," said Lantz.

Lantz also believes the fresh-
man are doing an excellent job
adapting to the college environ-
ment. Coach Parsons knows
that the freshman along with the
rest of the team will need to
improve to fill the void of losing
Lantz for the season.

But Lantz has a lot of confi-
dence in this team. "There
young but very determined to
win," said Lantz.

"Scholarship Spread" Turns Tables on PSAC Powers That be

by Ben Stentz
Clarion Call Staff Writer

A point spread is an amount of
points set by a bookmaker which
(teterrnines who is the favorite and
who is the underdog in some sort of
contest. Bookmakers assign a spread
to seemingly every professional ath-
letic event as well as many division I
athletic events. I can't explain to you
how the spread is set, but that is not
the focus of this article.

The focus of this article is the wide
margin in the amounts of athletic
grants that each of the 14 men's bas-
ketball programs in the Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference (PSAC)
have to offer to potential student-ath-
letes. The link between the scholar-
ship funds available and the point
spread is this; I have developed my
own formula for determining a point
spread for all games that involve
teams from the PSAC, the "scholar-
ship spread."

The amounts of total countable aid
among PSAC men's basketball teams
ranged from $16,250 (Cheyney

University) to $112,736 (California)
for the 1998-99 basketball season.
That is a $94,486 difference. Truly,
staggering numbers to say the least.

My "scholarship spread" formula is
rather simple. Each $1,000 (amounts
rounded off to the nearest thousand
dollar amount) difference in scholar-
ship moneys will be equal to one
point. Therefore, if California and
Cheyney faced off on the hardwood,
California would be a 96 point
favorite. If California won the game
by 95 points, they would lose versus
my "scholarship spread." Pretty safe
to bet on Cheyney. Now Jet's crunch
some numbers.

Using the scholarship spread, the
PSAC records of many teams would
be drastically different. For instance,
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
(IUP) was 11-3 versus PSAC teams
last season including crossover (ver-
sus the eastern division of the PSAC)
games and playoff games. Using the
scholarship spread, IUP would have
been 4-10 versus PSAC teams.
Ironically, two of their four wins ver-
sus the "scholarship spread" would

have come against California, the
only school to have more total count-
able aid than IUP.

California was 15-1 against PSAC
teams last season. The Vulcans
would have been 0-16 versus the
scholarship spread. California would
have been 71 point favorites versus
Lock Haven using my system. They
would have been 67 point favorites
against West Chester University
(WCU) and 66 point favorites against
Bloomsburg. California beat WCU
in the conference semi-finals and
Bloomsburg in the championship
game.

I think you get the point Why is
this information so important? Next
basketball season, the powers that be
in the PSAC have decided to have
mandatory crossover games between
the east and west divisions of the con-
ference. I understand that this will
make it easier on all the universities in
the state system when it comes to
scheduling. The PSAC has a good
reputation nationally, which makes it
difficult to find non-conference divi-
sion two opponents.

I want to know how this is going to
be anything that resembles fair. Of
the 14 schools, the six with the high-
est amounts of total countable aid are
all in the western division. The four
with the lowest amounts are all in the
eastern division. If I was a coach in
the east, why would I want to play
any of the west teams?

Money is what prospective student-
athletes want to know about. If you
have ever been on a visit to the heme
of a recruit and his parents fl have),
you know that offering that awesome
point guard a work-study job to sup-
plement his partial scholarship is not
going to close the deal. Ninety-nine
percent of the time, it is how much
cash that you have to offer which is
going to determine whether or not
that player comes to your school or
takes the full scholarship that some-
one else offers him.

In other words, the teams with
money end up with the best players.
Having better players gives you a
decided edge when it comes to wins
and losses. The six all-conference
selections in the western division a

year ago were all from the four teams
with the most countable aid in the
division. Those four teams
(California, IUP, Clarion and
Edinboro) finished one through four
in the west. In the east, five of the six
first team all-conference selections
were from the four teams with the
most total countable aid. Those four
teams (Bloomsburg, WCU,
Millersville and Kutztown) also fin-
ished one through four in the division.

My bottom line is this; how can the
PS AC be a true conference with this
kind of inequity? The answer is
something that I can't tell you. Why
are these dollar amounts so different?
There are plenty of possibilities
including the fact that each school
offers a different number of sports,
therefore distributing their money to
more programs.

Like I said, I do not have the answer
and I don't know who does. It is not
my problem. I am out of that loop. If
there was a spread on this problem
being solved, I would bet on this
amazing inequity continuing on.

Editorial

"If I had any power at
any university, I would

have the Bowl

Championship Series

thrown out the window."

Josiah Jones, Clarion Call Sports Writer

What is the BCS? Well it's a com-
puter that ranks the college football
universities. It is a so- called football
poll that tells people who are the
best teams in the top 25 of the coun-
try.

I don't like the BCS, because it's a
computer telling us who the best
teams are in the country without
watching a game. The BCS ranks
teams by their schedules, but the
BCS only ranks the teams by their
non-conference games, I believe this
to be unfair. Only because Penn
State and other Big Ten teams have
the toughest schedule in the country.
That means these teams won't be
ranked high because of their non-
conference games are easier.

It's plain and simple if both teams
like Virginia Tech and Florida State
are undefeated, then they should play
in the Sugar Bowl (The National
Championship). But the BCS
almost had Nebraska playing FSU
because Nebraska supposedly had a
harder schedule than Virginia Tech.

I don't know how the universities
feel about tbis,BCS poll, but I would

think that they all dislike it If I had
any power at any university, I would
have the Bowl Championship Series
thrown out the window.

All the computer looks at is the
record and the score of each game.
Then it figures where the university
should be ranked. Remember when
Penn State played Minnesota and
lost to Minnesota was a very tough
football team that had 3 losses to top
25 teams and they were all confer-
ence games. The BCS doesn't look
at who Minnesota lost to and doesn't
know if they're a tough team. So the
computer dropped Penn State from
#2 to #9 in the top 25 poll.

What I am trying to get at, is that I
would rather have a poll where the
people or coaches control who goes
to the bowl games. They should
determine where teams are ranked.
It makes more sense because we
know whose schedules are tougher
and whether or not a team is tough.
The BCS should be destroyed and
the people should be in control of a
football team's destiny.

Angle reaching milestones on
the mat with his 100th victory

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

Mark Angle won his 100th
career match this year, becom-
ing only the fifteenth man ever
to accomplish this feat here at
Clarion University. Angle won
his 100th match at the Clarion
Duals which was held at Tippin
Gymnasium on November 21st.
Angle moved his career mark to
a remarkable 100-7, which
includes a 3-0 record this year.

Angle is the co-captain of this
year's wrestling squad and
deservedly so. Last year Angle
had his best year at Clarion
going 40-1. He was also his
named to the NCAA Division I
All-American team for the sec-
ond time. He, also, won titles at
Las Vegas, Ashland, and
PSAC's and EWL's. But one
title did elude him which he
now has his eyes set on. That
title was the NCAA
Championships. He placed
third at the NCAA's a year ago
at 141 pounds.

"Right now that is my number
one expectation for the season
to win the NCAA's. But it will

be tough considering how diffi-
cult my weight category is,"
Angle said.

Angle's weight category
includes former Clarion
wrestler Chris Marshall who is
also back for his senior year at
Central Michigan.

But Angle has had an excel-
lent off season to prepare. He
traveled to France and Poland
on a team made up of Division I
Ail-Americans for two weeks.
This provided him with good
competition and more time to
spend on the mat. The off sea-
son also brought about a lot of
heavy lifting.

The rest of the team is still
young but tough. "There are no
big boles this year in any weight
class. We should get better as
the season goes on," Angle
remarked about this years
Golden Eagle wrestling team.

The All- American Mark Angle
looks to have another good sea-
son in the hopes of being named
to his third All- American team,
which would tie him with his
gold medal winning cousin,
Kurt Angle.

Lady Golden Eagle Basketball
goes South to hoop it up

by Dan McGinley
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion University
Women's basketball team has
started the season and are look-
ing at a 3-3 record with two
more games before the end of
the semester.

Clarion jumped out to three
quick wins with two coming
here in Clarion at their home
tournament. Clarion defeated
the Glenville State Pioneers by a
score of 81-67. They then
defeated Carlow College sound-
ly by a score of 85-64. Clarion
next kept their winning streak
alive by defeating a very good
team in Pitt-Johnstown by a
score of 77-66.

A big part of the teams victo-
ries is C.J. Lantz, a transfer stu-
dent from Junior College. Lantz
was averaging over 20 points a
game through the first 3 games.
But then the Lady golden Eagles
suffered a loss when C.J. tore
her ACL, leaving her out for the
rest of the regular season.

Although the injury to Lantz is
a big loss to the team the Golden
Eagles's goals have not
changed, "We're still aiming for
the playoffs, whether it's first
place in the conference or
fourth. If we're in the playoffs
at the end of the season, we've
met our goal," said head coach

Gie Parsons.

The rest of the team's ability
allows that goal to be reached.
Melissa Yearous is averaging 10
points a game and is, also, the
teams leading rebounder.
Senior Miesha Henry has given
the team 28 assists and is aver-
aging 9.5 points per game and
Tameka Washington is the lead-
ing scorer among a strong fresh-
man class.

Clarion received their first loss
when a very pesky Ashland
squad came to Clarion and
upended the Lady Golden
Eagles by a score of 60-53.

The team, next traveled to
North Carolina where the Eagles
lost 2 close games to St. Paul's
and Belmont Abbey, a team that
made it to the sweet 16 during
the NCAA tournament last year.
Clarion lost to Belmont Abbey
by a score of 79-60. But Clarion
showed promise in the second
half out scoring Belmont Abbey
34-32. Clarion closed out their
southern trip with a loss to Saint
Paul's in Lawrenceville,
Virginia. Clarion lost a nail
biter 56-55. Shamea Hall hit
two free throws with two sec-
onds left to clinch the victory
for Saint Paul's The games were
good challenges, getting them
ready for the PSAC which they
are focused on now.

Power lifting
comes to Clarion

by Mark Watts
Contributing Writer

, The Clarion Barbell Club's first
ever Push/ Pull meet was held in
the new Student Recreation
Center on Saturday afternoon.
There were 19 benchers and 9
dead lifters who competed, many
of them were first time competi-
tors. All lifters did a fantastic job
especially with the rules being
fairly strict. The meet also wel-
comed a number of spectators
who did a fine job supporting all
lifters.

The Clarion Barbell Club would
like to thank all of the lifters who
competed in the first power lifting
meet. One of the top lifters for
the women was Heidi Shellgren
,who put up a weight of 225 to
win the women's bench press. On
the men's side Keonte Campbell
and Jason Young won both their
weight classes. Keonte Campbell
put up 340 pounds and Jason
Young put up 365 pounds in the
242 pound weight category.

Doug Mitchell won his weight
class in the deadlift putting up
525 pounds but was second best.
He was out lifted by Andy Brown
who put up 550 pounds in the 181
pound category to win by 130
pounds.

The Clarion Barbell Club will
continue to have Power lifting
meets at least once a semester.
The Club will also compete at the
team and individual levels at local
and national sanctioned meets
throughout next year.

The Clarion Call

January 27, 2000

The first draft of Clarion University history.

VOLUME 84, ISSUE 1

Supreme Court may rule on optional fee

by Angela Everly
.Clarion Call News Editor

The way student activity fees are
spent on College campuses
nationwide could be drastically
changed during a U.S. Supreme
Court ruling scheduled for June.

This case comes after a
University of Wisconsin student,
Scott Southworth, filed a law suit
because he objected to the use of
his fees to support a liberal cam-
pus organization. In the suit, stu-
dents listed eighteen campus orga-
nizations in which they objected

to their fees supporting. The
groups included the

Environmental Greens, Amnesty
International, the Campus
Women's Center and the Lesbian,
Gay and Bisexual Campus Center
The suit was originally filed in
1996 and according to CNN, if the
high court upholds the ruling of
the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals, that the subsidies unlaw-
fully force some students to subsi-
dize views they find questionable.
It could bar schools from using
student fees to pay for politically
active groups, or it could issue a

less sweeping remedy allowing
students to opt out of giving
money to groups they find objec-
tionable. The 7th Circuit Court of
Appeals referred to the "right not
to speak" in their ruling.

The University of Wisconsin
appealed this ruling which denied
its mandatory activity fees to the
Supreme Court in early
November. The university stood
by its view that the fees are a
legitimate way to enrich campus
debate. "Students cannot opt out
of paying the fees any more than
they can refuse to pay tuition for

classes whose content they
oppose," said Joan Biskupic, a
Washington Post Staff Writer. In
their appeal the university tried to
persuade the Justices to expand on
a 1995 decision, in which they
ruled that when a university sets
up a general policy for disbursing
student activity fees, the universi-
ty must also subsidize secular and
religious publications on the same
basis. That decision said the
University of Virginia wrongly
refused to subsidize a student-run
Christian magazine. The

Supreme Court ruled that public

Coffee anyone?

Garrett Fabian/The Clarion Call

The Coffee Shop in Gemmell has moved from beside the Information desk to the old game room. New
items include Nathans hotdogs and nachos. The shop will still include everyone's favorite, bagels. The
shop will also have extended hours this semester 8 a.m.-1 1 p.m. For more information concerning the
coffee shop see the Student Senate article on page 6.

.www.clarion.edu/thecall

universities and colleges cannot
create a "public forum" for stu-
dents and then refuse to subsidize
some student groups because of
their viewpoints.

The New York Times said other
courts including the United States
Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit, in a 1992 case from the
State University of New York,
have ruled that students could be
required to support activities that
contributed to a "marketplace of
ideas," including ideas they did
not like.

If this ruling is upheld state-run
schools would either have to stop
giving money to controversial stu-
dent organizations or determine a
way to give partial refunds to
those students who want them.
The ruling will not affect private
schools, since the First
Amendment protects people only
against government actions.

"The decision will affect, literal-
ly, every college and university in
this country," said Brady
Williamson, who teaches consti-
tutional law at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison.

The Supreme Court deci-
sion could greatly affect the way
organizations are funded on
Clarion University's Campus.
The student activity fee at
Clarion, which was recently
raised to $110 a semester, will
generate over one million dollars
for the next academic year. This
money is then distributed to over
eighty on-campus organizations
by the Student Senate
Appropriations Committee.

According to Clarion
University Student Senate
Treasurer Brian Sowa, Clarion
University does not currently fund

Your Views

Are teacher evaluations necessary

Ch the weather outside is
frightful, and so are the roads

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow.

Then it does. And Clarion, which sits in the snow
belt of the region doesn't know how to react.

Besides the main roads of Clarion County, (which
are few, far, and in between), no other roads are
clear and safe.

Many college students travel quite a distance to
get to the early morning classes. And unlike the
schools and businesses that can cancel or delay for
the day, Clarion University still holds class in ses-
sion. Treacherous roads or not.

The sidewalks at the university aren't clear. Many
students have fallen on the multiple layered, snow
and ice covered sidewalks. Streets aren't clear,and
pedestrian sidewalks are a joke.

Now, if the groundhog sees his shadow, we're in
lor an even longer winter.

And, while conserving salt is a necessity, a LIT-
TLE wouldn't hurt. At best, drop the plow. How
many streets don't permit overnight parking? Then,
you wake up and the roads are still packed.

I guess we'll just tell our professors now: If we
aren't in class just assume that we slipped on the
sidewalks or slid under a car.

If at all possible, at least keep the pedestrian
crosswalks and intersections clear to prevent as
much injury as possible.

Finally, to the businesses, if you want us to come
to your store, shovel the walkway.

Throw salt, not pepper.

Dear Editor,

It's that time of the year again, our chance to evaluate the
quality of our professors. Every semester, fifteen to twenty
minutes is wasted in each class for this procedure, is it worth
it? My question is, do our opinions make a difference in
how a class is taught?

When we attend class, we are there to learn. When we
wake for an 8 o'clock a.m. class, we do not want to fill out
an evaluation, wondering why we even bothered attending.
If I am going to lose twenty minutes of class for a "bubble-
sheet" that asks me questions such as what year am I and if
I received a syllabus, why should I go? Why should any of
us go? Especially when the results are all put into a statis-
tic that honestly, proves nothing.

I'm assuming that all students have had a professor whom
they felt had poor teaching abilities, or possibly tested you
on material that was not pertinent information for that class.
Maybe they even made it impossible for students to get an
'A' for the course. So, at this time in the year, we fill out
these evaluations and share our disappointment with the
professor. Do the professors change their practices in any
way to give us the quality education we feel we deserve? I
have noticed no change. Granted, the professors read our
opinions after the course is completed, but by the word-of-
mouth of current class members we find that nothing has

changed. I personally, have never heard of any changes.

For the professors that we praise for exceptional teaching,
do they receive any type of award, or benefits'? Doubtful.
Do they continue their tedious days without any recognition
at all? How do we know? We are handed three sheets of
paper, told to fill them out honestly, and that is the last we
ever hear of it.

For the majority of our faculty, they know they want to
teach and how they wish to teach it, point blank. They adapt
to what the administration wants, what the administration
feels is 'quality' teaching. Are the administrators being
taught in class? I have yet to see one in mine. Why then,
do our opinions seem to not count? We all pay tuition in
one way or another, we are all here to learn (or should be).
This is our life, our future, shouldn't we have a voice in our
education that is recognized? I beseech you, the students
and the faculty to give me some sign of hope that these eval-
uations are worth the time.

I would like to take a final minute to say that I am sure a
small fraction of the professors heed to our advice, but is it
a large enough amount to continue the process? I would
have to say no, it is not.

Sincerely,
Nick Donati

Spock, Kids and Cuba

A few days before this writing,
Dr. Benjamin Spock died.
Ironically, within days I received
a form letter over his signature
noting that he would be celebrat-
ing his 95th birthday on May 2.

Dr. Spock even in ill health at 94
was continuing his courageous
effort to aid the human cause as
he had for a lifetime.

His letter was a solicitation to
raise funds for the medicines so
desperately needed by Cuba's
children who suffer and die as the
result of this country's economic
embargo, illegally and inhumane-
ly waged against an independent
nation and its people.

This immoral embargo, which
affects not only children but the
entire economy has already lasted
for more than a third of Spock's
long lifetime. It compelled him to
strive to end that embargo and
make sure Cuba's children sur-
vive this cruel policy for as long
as it remains in place.

Spock reminded us that he and
his wife celebrated his 90th birth-
day in Cuba helping to take life-
saving medicines to the youngest
victims of this economic warfare.

What we. here in a land of rela-
tive plenty, seem to be unaware or
ignorant of, is that the embargo is
not only inhumane but violates
international law. The UN

General Assembly has repeatedly
condemned this economic war.
As recently as November, 143
nations voted for a UN resolution
that castigated Washington for the
embargo. Only two nations
opposed.

In 1996 a belligerent Helms-
Burton Act began penalizing other
nations which invest or trade with
Cuba. Our major trading partners,
including Canada, Britain, France
and Mexico, have been outraged.
There are some who believe the
aim of such policies is to inflict
such misery on Cuba that the
nation will explode in a civil war.
The distinct possibility also exists
that further misery will generate
the many thousands of refugees
fleeing to Florida's shores.

What is forgotten is that a con-
servative post-presidential
Richard Nixon called for an "open
door" policy that would "drop the
economic embargo and open the
way to trade, investment, and eco-
nomic interaction," which, of
course, would benefit both
nations. Parts of the corporate
world quietly exerts pressure to
call off the embargo. They recog-
nize the vast possibilities of
Cuban markets and investment
opportunities.

The nation's politicians contin-

highly doubt that we are going to

takes made, it will still take a few
issues to work the bugs out.

Also in this issue, you might
notice the Call's fascination with
the plight of young Elian
Gonzales' . Our fearless advisor,
Dr. Barlow, ventured to Cuba this
past semester break and has
brought back massive amounts of
information on young Elian. So,
we here at the Call decided to not
make his trip just a cigar run but
to enlighten you with reasons on
why the young man should be
returned to his family.

As usual, if you do not agree

with the views published in the
Call you have the power to
express those feelings. I urge you
to write a Letter to the Editor on
any issue that you feel needs to be
brought to attention. This is the
reader's forum for self expression
just be sure to keep it tasteful.

While I'm on the topic of taste-
fulness (or the lack thereof), I'd
also like to mention a new addi-
tion to the opinion section,
'Vanishing Point'. This weekly
commentary, written by
Lifestyles Editor Keith Gwillim,
sheds light on his twisted view of
life. Its contents do not represent
that of the Clarion Call or the
human race for that matter.

Since this is the only editorial
I'm writing this semester, I want
to take this time to thank every-
one who has worked with me this
semester, especially the
Executive Board. I couldn't have
asked for a better group to work
with, and I appreciate all the help
and time you've all put in. To the
rest of the students, I will be back
for one semester as Editor (hope-
fully) so unfortunately, you will
have to hear from me again.

D is for the average GPA on

E is for "eagle," our mascot.
But personally, I think it should

F is for "fraternities," who
throw cool parties. Besides I'm

G is for "gaaaaack!!," which is

ing at Chandler.

H is for "hot girls," none of
whom will go out on a date with
me.

I is for "ice," which is fun to
watch people slip on in winter.

J is for "Jell-O" in Chandler. I

Eww.

K is for "Keith." (I'm not con-

M is for "money," which
is. ..hey, what IS that stuff again?

N is for "nauseous," which is

All of them were unanimous that Elian

One thing is clear after visiting the
island: The Cuban reality is far different
from the fantasy painted by Miami lobby-
ists with decades-old axes to grind

equal to those in the US, have drastically

for legal and other expenses if they would
help conduct an anti-Cuba campaign using
Elian as a sympathetic centerpiece.

Jumping into the fray almost immediate-
ly was Miami Congresswoman Ileana Roz-
Lehtinen, who only two weeks before
Elian was picked up at sea, had used the
emotional issue of US POWs in Vietnam as
a tool to exacerbate U.S. -Cuban relations

When Elian returns to his homeland, he
will not be persecuted, quite the contrary.
Although his kindergarten teacher
expressed hope that he could return to his
class with as little fanfare as possible, it
was clear from traveling around the island
that the boy is a hero to his post-revolution
generation for exposing the venal aspects
of some in Miami who would separate our
two societies for far longer than need be
the case.

As a father of two young children myself,
and a Cub Scout leader, I would never
advocate the return of any child to an abu-
sive family or a nation where he would be
harmed. Despite the rhetoric we hear, that
is in no way the case with Juan Miguel
Gonzales or Cuba in general. His father
loves him, and his countrymen want him
back, just as we clamored for the return of
our fellow countrymen from Iran and
Beirut when they were taken from us.

Elian belongs with his dad. It's that sim-
ple.

for the Cuban people despite
their forty years of suffering
under policies they adopted
and continue to support.
Paradoxically, Cubans are far
less repressed and denied of

numerous dictatorships we

For a hundred years the

puppet regimes in Cuba, both
economically and politically.
The Castro government's
refusal to accept that domi-

for the firm and inflexible
opposition of its gargantuan

Cuba has been devilishly
destructive."

It is an astounding contra-
diction that our nation which
is absolutely determined that
no outside powers dare
attempt to influence in the
slightest our internal affairs
or an election openly main-
tains, advocates and prac-
tices policies to overthrow
the Castro government.

Pope John Paul II has
repeatedly spoken out
against the U.S. embargo,
most recently on his visit to
Cuba weeks ago. The

Vatican is on record oppos-
ing, on humanitarian
grounds, economic sanctions
that cause a populace to suf-
fer.

In 1992 the U.S. Catholic
Conference, in a letter to the

Bush Administration,

protested the Cuban embar-
go. The Conference noted
that embargoes "are acts of
force. ..morally unacceptable,
generally in violation of the
principals of international
law, and always contrary to
the values of the Gospel."
The U.S. Chamber of
Commerce, in a press
release, observed that,
"denying food and medicine
to the people of Cuba is
behavior unworthy of a great
nation like the United States,
U.S. business takes no com-
fort when economic warfare
is waged against Cuban chil-
dren."

Secretary of State Henry
Kissenger advised his aides
during a secret attempt to
improve relations with Cuba

in 1975, "Behave chivalrous-
ly; do it like a big guy, not
like a shyster."

Surely we will remember
Dr. Spock for his major con-
tributions to the lives of chil-
dren and parents. His heroic
struggles for peace, justice,
disarmament and the right of
Cuba to be free of our unjust
domination is a credit to the
best of the human spirit.
How long can we continue to
ignore his strenuous objec-
tion to an inhumane and ille-
gal assault on Cuba and its
people.

Board of Directors

Coffee shop stirs things up

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

The Clarion Students'
Association (CSA) Board of
Directors met Tuesday, January
25, to discuss the opening of the
proposed Coffee Shop. The Game
Room/Coffee Shop Committee
discussed a need to create an
activities committee to monitor
activities and to increase interest
in the new facility.

Furniture has been ordered for
the shop and will be purchased
with monies allocated from last
year's University Book Center's
Profit. Currently temporary furni-
ture has been placed in the shop to
accommodate patrons. The
Coffee Shop has extended their
hours of operation to 11:00 p.m.
The committee expressed interest
in finding some other pieces of
furniture to help make the shop
comfortable. The University Art
Department has been contacted
about donating student work to be

CSA Business Manager Lee
Krull expressed his concern over
the priority that Clarion places on
collecting the Student Activity
fee. This year has shown an
increase of delinquent accounts.

In other news, the location of the
University Book Center web link
on the university web site has
become a concern because of its
placement. It is hidden inside of
Alumni Affairs and is very hard to
find. Upon researching other
State System School's web sites,
it was found that a majority have
placed Book Store links in student
life web pages. Computing

Services will be contacted about
moving the bookstore link to the
Student Life web section.

Concern over the possibility of
more students buying their text-
books on-line, Krull feels the

Faculty Senate

Y2K bit but didn't leave a mark

by A. A. Thompson

Clarion Call

Assistant News Editor

At the Monday, January 24,
Faculty Senate meeting, President
Diane Reinhard reassured Senate
that the university did not experi-
ence any difficulties due to Y2K.

However, she did discuss the
slight problem that the university
has had with the phone system
turnover from 226 to 393. She
said the problems arose because
of Alltel and Bell Atlantic, but
was hopeful that the phone ser-
vice would be better for the uni-
versity.

Two faculty replacement
searches are continuing with suc-
cess.

The Dean of University
Libraries has been filled by Dr.
Howard McGinn. He will begin
his duties during the month of
February.

The provost search committee
has decided the deadline for
accepting applications is
February 4. The committee hopes
to bring candidates to the campus
during the first week of April.

In other news, the issue of fire
safety for campus residents was
brought to the floor. Reinhard
shared her concern but is confi-
dent that all residence halls were
up to date.

Dr. Susan Prezanno, chair of the
Academic Standards committee,
reported that there were 130 sus-
pensions last semester. Of those
130, 54 were appealed. Of those
appealed, 40 were upheld, and 14
were recinded.

Prezanno presented Senate with
information concerning the issue
of SAT scores becoming optional
for entrance into the university. •

Dr. Beverly Smaby, chair of the
Committee on Courses and
Programs of Study said that a

Y2K glitch has been found
involving their system which uses
2 digit numbers. The problem
will not surface until 2090, but
Smaby eliminated it by suggest-
ing a switch to a four digit sys-
tem.

Dr. Halllie Savage, chair of
Faculty Affairs, reported two
years ago a demand was found
among faculty for a Faculty
Center.

The private dining room in
Chandler will serve as the facility.
The private line will cost faculty
members $3.95. Lunch will be
served from 11 :00am- 1:00pm.
The center will be open from
10:30am- 1:30pm.

The next Faculty Senate policy
meeting will be Monday, January
31 at 3:30 p.m. in B-8 Hart
Chapel. Monday, January 7 is the
date for the next regularly sched-
uled meeting at 3:30 p.m. in B-8
Hart Chapel.

Extended hours keep coffee shop buzzing late

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

Student Senate announced the
opening of the Coffee shop in
Gemmell at the Monday, January
24, meeting. The Board of
Directors and the Student
Facilities and Executive commit-
tees of Student Senate have been
developing the plans. President
Leslie Suhr announced the Coffee
Shop hours have been extended to
11:00 p.m.

Furniture has been ordered and
is scheduled to be delivered in
four to six weeks. The Clarion
Students' Association Board of
Directors voted last semester to
allocate $27,700 of the 1998-1999

University Book Center's profit to
fund this project. Monies from
the Student Activity fee have not
been used for the purchase of this
furniture. Student art work may
be displayed in the shop.

Chartwell's have recently
increased food and drink choices
to include nachos, hot dogs and
more.

The game room has been tem-
porarily moved to the former
weight room. Three pool tables
have been sold to Ralston,
Wilkinson, and Balentine
Residence Halls.

One additional pool table is cur-
rently available for purchase by a

three pool tables were placed in

The tables are unable to be
placed in the weight room
because of a need to be used for a

cies.

"Over the past semester there has
been a significant amount of con-
fusion over wording in the current
account policies," he said. "I am
trying to make the policies clear to
student organization. When they
come to Appropriations for fund-
ing they will be able to understand
what account they're requesting
funds from and. the purposes of
each account."

A computer purchasing policy
will also be written. Treasurer
Sowa said, "This policy is neces-
sary to enable consistency among
money allocated to student orga-
nizations for the purchase of a
computer. All the current policy

states is that only one computer
can be purchased every five
years.".

The policy will place a limit on
the amount of money that can be
spent and the quality of computer
that may be purchased. The poli-
cy will be reviewed annually by
the Appropriations Committee.

Treasurer Sowa reported
account balances during the
appropriations committee report.
In the Large Item Capital, there is
$262,341.97. The Capital

Account currently has

$89,093.19, the Supplemental

"Budgeting over a million
dollars to eighty organizations is

Treasurer Brian Sowa,
"However, if the Supreme Court

However, if the Supreme Court
upholds this ruling, our universi-

be greatly affected," Treasurer
Sowa said.

Accounting classes add up to an
internship for a Clarion U. student

January 27, 2000

by Tyler Best
Clarion Call Business Manager

Avonita Byrd, a sophomore
enrolled in the College of
Business Administration, has
quickly been making a name for
herself within the Department of
Accounting due to her recent
awards and honors.

Her high school interest at
Sewickley Heights in accounting
classes helped her choose a col-
lege major; she is now a sopho-
more majoring in accounting and
it seems she has definitely chosen
the right major.

Byrd was recently offered a
position in one of the "Big Five"
public accounting firms' summer
internship programs. The firm is
Deloitte and Touche, LLP, and she
will be working out of the firm's
Pittsburgh location.

She became aware of this oppor-
tunity through the Accounting

Internship's director, Dr. Charles
Pineno. Pineno has been the
director of the Internship Program
for over a decade, and has had
increasing success in placing
accounting students in interships.
This provides students with
hands-on experience in real world
accounting and business issues.

Byrd, originally from Aliquippa,
used part of her semester break to
attend an interview with the
accounting firm. She accepted
the position as an intern, and
plans to begin on May 30.

The program offered by Deloitte
and Touche is a two-summer pro-
gram that will begin this summer
and conclude in the summer of
2001.

Her duties this summer as an
intern will consist mainly of inter-
nal accounting for the firm itself;
handling accounting payable and
receivable, as well as payroll
functions, and proofing audits.

She will also be instrumental in
the firm's Campus Recruiting
Program, which seeks out stu-
dents to fill future intern posi-
tions.

Byrd believes that this is impor-
tant because the internship pro-
gram offered by Deloitte and
Touche needs better advertise-
ment and promotion to make
more students aware that there is
great opportunity out there. She
will also be traveling to a
Leadership Conference as part of
her internship experience this
summer.

Next summer, after her junior
year in accounting is complete,
she will be assisting the audit
teams in their audit fieldwork.
Traditionally, quality internships
of this level are offered to juniors,
however, the Department of
Accounting is excited to see Byrd
included in what will be an excel-
lent supplement to her accounting

education.

In the future, Byrd hopes to start
a business of her own and be self-
employed.

In addition to her internship
placement, Byrd has also been
awarded the Pennsylvania Black
Conference on Higher Education
Scholarship. Minority Student
Services informed Byrd of this
scholarship. She will be attend-
ing a conference in Harrisburg
next month to receive her $500
award.

While attending Clarion and
majoring in accounting, she is
also involved in several other
campus activities and organiza-
tions. She serves as the treasurer
for both the Accounting Club and
the Leadership Institute, an orga-
nization within the Minority
Student Service. Byrd is also a
member of the Lift Every Voice
Gospel Choir, and a student in the
University Honors Program.

But this will be his first trip to
Europe.

"I wanted a European experi-
ence and Malta is in the Middle of
Europe," said the senior sec-
ondary/English major.

Smrekar also looks forward to a
different experience of living in
another culture, not to mention
taking multicultural courses.

Smrekar will be joined by fellow
Clarion student, Tim Hanson.
Hanson is a junior anthropology
major with a minor in history.

Hanson is also no stranger to
traveling. He has visited the
places of Mexico, South America,
and areas in the Caribbean. This
will be his first trip across the
pond to Europe.

"1 wanted a chance to check out
a new culture," he said.

Hanson is hoping to participate
in the University of Malta's field
school. He is hoping that the field
school will enlighten his experi-
ence more.

It is possible for these two stu-
dents to participate in Malta due to
a Memorandum of Understanding
that Clarion University and the
University of Malta signed.

The agreement has been going

on since 1994. The agreement
allows the exchange of faculty,
students, researchers, and techni-
cal assistance.

One year ago two students here
at Clarion participated in this for-
eign exchange program. Darlene
Roesti and Jenna Niemczyk spent

University of Malta, which is one
of the oldest universities in the
British Commonwealth. Malta is
a small Mediterranean Island just
off the coast of Italy.

The country has access to other
large countries such as Greece,
Spain, and Northern Africa.
Roesti and Niemczyk learned they
could make it in a new environ-
ment.

"I learned I could survive. I
became more flexible. I appreci-

ate Malta and long for a return to
it," said the now junior Roesti.

Niemczyk learned that there is a
lot more out there than Clarion
University.

"I discovered that you need to
explore and experience. There is
a lot out there, more than what is
around you now," said Niemczyk.

These two are the most recent
students to study abroad but in
fact, many students and faculty
have traveled to Malta. If one
would travel abroad, the student
pays the same tuition and room
rates as he or she would here at
Clarion.

Another requirement that goes
along with studying in Malta is the
taking of different courses. The
program requires a course in the
history of Mediterrean civilization
and other selected course elec-
tives. These are required to help
you adapt more to the environ-
ment which is around you. The
only possible drawback for stu-
dents would be that they are
responsible for all other costs,
which includes travel.

Just the facts... about your health

How to avoid seasonal sickness

Scholarships now available

by A. A. Thompson

Clarion Call

Assistant News Editor

As cold and flu season rears its
ugly head, it is important to be
aware of some tips for staying
healthy.

The most important precaution
that everyone can take is hand
washing. Hands encounter germs
through everyday contact with
people and places. One should
also be aware of public telephones
and hand railings that are used
more than they are disinfected.

Flu shots are effective when
administered before being
exposed to the flu virus. It is
essential to understand that it
takes the human body one to two
weeks upon receiving the shot, for
ones body to start building up
anti-bodies and thus become
immune.

Some signs of the flu include:

* fatigue

* a temperature of over 100
degrees F

* loss of appetite

* headache

* vomiting

* diarrhea

* muscle or joint pain.
Symptoms common to a cold are

generally coughing, sneezing, and
sinus congestion.

If you are one of the unlucky
ones who is already suffering
from any of these symptoms,
there are different types of treat-
ment which may provide relief.

The first item to remember is
that the flu, in particular, must be
treated symptomatically. If you
are showing signs of a fever, treat
the fever.

Also, there are prescription anti-
viral drugs that can be taken with-
in 48 hours of the start of the
symptoms. These drugs are

pricey, however, with costs start-
ing at about $45.

Homemade chicken soup is a
cheaper remedy that delivers
nutrients to your body in a form
that can easily be digested.
Chicken soup can also contribute
to relieving certain symptoms.
The aroma for instance, increases
the flow of nasal mucus and hot
liquids are good for combating
dehydration associated with colds
and the flu.

It is necessary to realize that the
saying "feed a cold, starve a
fever," is an old wive's tale and
has absolutely no truth to it what-
soever.

To kill germs and prevent their
spreading, clean surfaces, sinks,
and toilets with bleach and water.
In all actuality, treatments are
only capable of shortening the
course of your cold or flu symp-
toms.

Story courtesy of
University Relations

Julia Amsler, a 1980 and 1983
graduate of Clarion University of
Pennsylvania has found success
raising elk.

Amsler established the Highland
Elk Farm in Miola in 1997, after
she "had grown tired of her previ-
ous business." In July 1997,
Amsler began buying elk, fenc-
ing, water, feed, and necessary
veterinary supplies to set up the
farm. She currently has 64 elk on
110 acres.

Amsler. who received her under-
graduate degree in biology, edu-
cated herself in this new field by
studying journals and talking with
professionals. While doing
research, she learned there was a
velvet antler industry in Canada
and a meat market in New
Zealand and Canada. She also
learned that hides and hard antlers
are used for jewelry and chande-
liers.

"I am raising elkandusing genet-

ics, for the velvet industry and for
breeding stock in that market,"
she says. "The market in this
country for herbal and natural
remedies has exploded in the past
15-20 years, so much that, the big
pharmaceutical companies have
started to produce whole lines of
natural remedies. The FDA gave
approval for velvet antler as an aid
for arthritis in March of 1999.

"Genetics is extremely impor-
tant in this industry. It has
become so important that as of
this breeding season any bull used
for breeding must be DNA tested
by the University of California at
Davis lab for any future verifica-
tion of offspring." This is done by
pulling out the guard hairs on the
back of the neck and sending them
in.

The elk are separated by sex in
order to control genetics. She
says, "I keep bulls separated from
females all the time except the
lucky guy who gets to be the
breed bull." Elk are also grouped

by age so the younger, less
aggressive can eat well. Amsler
feeds her herd twice a day, counts
heads, and assesses each elk's
condition.

In March, adjustments need to
be made; she watches for buttons
to drop, remnants of the previous
years antlers of the bulls two and
older. The bulls need more feed
and higher protein for antler
growth when their buttons drop.
During January and February,
bred cows and bulls do not need
much grain; they have free choice
hay. "The cows cannot be fat or
they will have trouble giving
birth, which could mean the loss
of calf, cow or both," says Amsler.
Calves are born mid-May
through early July. Amsler said,
"Better management means early
calves and closer together, there-
fore older calves by weaning time,
and less management problems
later." During calving season she
keeps a constant vigil on the con-
dition of each cow. That enables

Foo Fighters 'Learn To Fly' on new album

by Keith B. Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

In many eastern religions,
when a person dies, the soul
keeps coming back again and
again until it gets everything
just right. When that perfection
has been acheived, the soul
reaches, yep, you guessed it:
Nirvana.

Dave Grohl, having found
new life in the Foo Fighters
after Nirvana's demise now has
his third shot at perfection with
the Foo's new There Is Nothing
Left To Lose. While the album
is far from perfect, Grohl has
improved by leaps and bounds
over the past two Foo albums. I
guess good karma was abundant
in the Foo Fighter's camp this

time around.

There Is Nothing Left To Lose
is a concise and swift set of
well-polished late 90s guitar
rock that stands as Grohl's best

work since leaving Cobain, Inc.
With sharp, instantly recog-
nizable and singable songwrit-
ing and immaculate playing.

her to be prepared for a problem.
When a calf is around 12-24 hours
old it can be tagged, sexed, and
given Selenium and vitamin E
shots.

Amsler closed her former busi-
ness in June 1996 to look for
something new. While searching
for a new occupation, Amsler read
a newspaper article about an elk
farm in Pennsylvania. Later she

visited that farm. The day after
her visit, she joined the North
American Elk Breeders

Association and the Pennsylvania
Elk Breeders Association.

She said, "I fell in love with the
whole idea, the elk, and the idea
of a business where I could be
with such marvelous animals and
be outdoors a good deal of the
time."

Grohl knows exactly the right
formula for creating rock
anthems.

Nearly every song on the
album could be a single, from
the opening lounge rock-meets-
thudding rock "Stacked
Actors," through the heartfelt
and sweeping "Aurora" to the
country-twang of "Ain't It The
Life." My faith in pure rock
music has been restored.

The rhythm section is water-
tight on There Is Nothing...
This could be a detriment in
other circumstances, but the
songcraft is so well formed that
it finds just the right balance to
keep them from meandering too
far.

The highlight of the album is

Oliver Stone fumbles the new Any Given Sunday

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

According to Tony
D'Amato, head coach of the
fictional Miami Sharks, foot-
ball and life are games that
are both won by inches.
Success can only be attained
by those who are willing to
push their tormented bodies
and souls toward victory, no
matter what the cost.
Unfortunately, Oliver Stone,
director of Any Given
Sunday, which chronicles
D'Amato's exploits in the
waning days of his coaching
career, ignores that poignant
advice. Instead of taking his
latest picture "one inch at a
time," Stones' directing
blazes ahead at a mile a
minute pace and taints what
could have otherwise been a
memorable film.

Any Given Sunday follows
D'Amato's (Al Pacino)
tumultuous final year with
the Sharks, a team he's had a
successful relationship with
for most of his career.
However, times are changing
for professional football, and
D'Amato fears he may no
longer be the right man to
lead the Sharks into the
future. His sentiments are
echoed by Christina

Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz),
the team's new owner. When

Super Bowl terminology: run, pass, Mr. Pootywinkle

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Columnist

We are coming up on the
Super Bowl, which is by far
the most important sporting
event in the world as measured
in total tons of free shrimp
consumed by sportswriters.

This year, the Super Bowl
will be broadcast to many for-
eign nations, which, almost by
definition, contain numerous
foreigners. These people are
often puzzled by American
football, a highly complex
sport that requires a knowl-
edge of many technical terms
such as "run," "pass," "corner-
backer," "blitzkrieg," "Texas
Leaguer," "ligament," and
"Hank Stram." This complex-
ity makes the game difficult
for foreigners to grasp.

I know this because some
years ago, while visiting
Japan, I watched the Miami
Dolphins and the Oakland
Raiders play a demonstration
game in a Tokyo stadium
where, for a zesty snack, you
could buy pieces of fried octo-
pus on a stick. The fans were
polite but they had no clue
what was going on. The only
thing that aroused their inter-
est was the Dolphins cheer-
leaders. The game would stop

for a time out, and the cheer-
leaders would start jumping
around, and immediately the
fans would go WILD, cheering
and thrusting their octopus
nuggets into the air.

I'm not being critical here.
I've been on the other side of
this coin.
While visit-
ing Ireland, I
watched an
Irish sport
called "hurl-
ing" (really)
in which
men who are
not wearing
helmets
basically
beat each
other sense-
less with
sticks. In
terms of vio-
lence, this
sport makes American football
look like Pat the Bunny. I'd
never seen this sport, so I
relied on the fans around me to
answer my questions ("Is that
player dead?" "Did all that
blood come out of his EAR?"
ect.).

So I know how hard it can be
to understand a foreign sport,
which is why today, to help
you foreign persons follow

the Super Bowl, I am present-
ing:

THE RULES OF AMERI-
CAN PROFESSIONAL
FOOTBALL

Football is played on a field
that is 100 yards (374 kilome-
ters) long and is covered with

lines
called
"hash
marks" to
indicate
where
players
have lost
their
break-
fasts. On
either
side of
the field
are the
benches,
where the
350 play-
ers who are not involved in the
game sit and wave to their
moms. Behind each bench is a
big plastic jug of Gatorade.
The object of the game is to be
the first team to dump this on
the "coach," a very angry man
who hates everybody.

The game is divided into four
15-minute quarters, each of
which lasts a little over three
hours. Timeouts may be called

by anybody at any time for any
reason, including political
unrest in Guatemala. Between
the second and third quarters,
there is a halftime musical
extravaganza in which Neil
Diamond, Toni Tennille, the
Muppets, and the late Al Hirt
join with every human being
who has ever auditioned for
"Star Search" to perform "A
Tribute to Medleys."

The game begins when a
small man of foreign extrac-
tion kicks the pigskin, or
"ball," as far as possible, then
wisely scuttles off the field.
The referee then places the
ball on an imaginary "line of
scrimmage," which is visible
only to the referee and his
imaginary friend, Mr.

Pootywinkle. On either side of
this line, the two teams form
"huddles," where they decide
who will perform the tradition-
al celebratory dance when the
upcoming "play" is over.

The "play" itself happens
very quickly, so you foreign
persons must not blink, or
you'll miss it. Here's what
happens:

1. A large player called the
"center" squats over the ball,
and then the "quarterdeck"
touches him in a way that
would get them both executed

in the Middle East.

2. All the player> run into
each other and fall down.

3. Certain playe r s leap to
their feet and perform celebra-
tory dances, while referees add
to the festivity by hurling
brightly colored flags into the
air.

Now comes the heart and
soul of football: Watching
slow-motion replays of the
players falling down. You'll
see this from every possible
point of reference, including
the Hubble telescope.

You'll see so many replays
that at some point you'll swear
that, in the background, you
can see Mr. Pootywinkle.

When the replays are finally
over, the referee formally
announces that the play does
not count. Then it's time for
eight commercials featuring
sport utility vehicles climbing
Mount Everest, and it's back to
the huddles for more non-stop
action!

Yes, foreign persons, football
is a complex sport, but you'll
find that if you take the time to
watch this year's Super Bowl,
you will soon discover why
every year, so many millions
of Americans are glued to their
television sets. Watching
rental videos.

Quilts serve a practical purpose.
These bed coverlets, made of two
layers of fabric with a layer of cotton,
wool, feathers, or down between, all
stitched firmly together, have anoth-
er use.
They are works of art.

Mildred (Shorts) Kapp of
Shippenville, a 1931 graduate of
Clarion State Teachers College,
recently visited the now Clarion
University of Pennsylvania to
inspect quilts made by her mother
and grandmother that are a part of the
Sanford Gallery collection. Joining
Kapp were her great-nieces Amy
Shannonhouse, an instructor in
Clarion's health and physical educa-
tion department, and Wendy Sink of
Michigan, and Mildred's daughter-
in-law, Ann Kapp. Clarion
University President Diane L.
Reinhard and Sandford Gallery
director Diana Mai ley met with
Kapp and her family.

Nine quilts made by the

Shorts/Kapp family are in the
Sandford Gallery collection. Clarion
alumni Raymond ('40) and Grace
(Shorts '29) Manson (Mildred's sis-
ter) donated their collection of fami-
ly quilts to the Sandford Gallery in
1987. Embroidery, strip, piece, and
applique are part of the work process
of these quilts. The collection
includes:

•"May Day Flower Basket." quilt-
ed by Grace Shorts Manson.

•"Grandmother's Fan in a Mohawk
Trail" and "Nine Chain," quilted by
Lydia Master (Mildred's grandmoth-
er).

•"Streak of Lightning Log • -bin,"
quilted by Mabie Master Si: rts and
Lydia Master.

•"Grandmother's Flower ( rarden"
and "Star of Bethlehem." ted by
Annabel! Weber Proper.

•"Feather Circle," 'Mower
Basket," and "Grandmother's
Flower Garden." quilted b; Nora

FOUR YEARS, FIVE YEARS? WHO CARES?

Maybe you re a freshman with no idea where your academic interests Kc. Or a sophomore planning to chance majors. Or a junior
thinking about dropping some classes because they cut into practice tinKfOTyournewbarid.Orasenkwwitiiaseiiouscaseof
indecision. Whatever your situation, you may be considering adding a fifth year to your program.

One things for sure: if the only way you can get your degree is to stay for a fifth year, then you should definitely stay. Graduating
from college sets you apart from the majority of people in the job market. A coic^ degree, even from a less than famous sdx>ol.
will open a lot of doors that will be forever closed to non-graduates. So if it takes a fifth year to graduate, do it.

But taking an extra year should not be your first choice. Consider the economics. An extra year may cost SS.000-S2S.000 in
tuition and expenses. Regardless of who's paying, that's a lot of money. And if you have college loans it just adds to your future
repayment burden. But that's onJy half the story. By staying out of the job market, you cost yourself a years salary. Maybe Irs
$20,000 Maybe its S40.000. In either case, it's money that would be going into your pocket.

Beyond dollar signs, you may pay a penalty when you look for a job. If nothing dse. you'll need to
explain to potential employers why you couldn't get a four year task done in four years.
Convincing them that it was reasonable is not an insurmountable obstacle, (particularly at a school
where it's difficult to get reQuired classes) but it's not what you want to discuss in a job interview.

There may be some good reasons to take a fifth year, but there are lots more that aren't so
good. Continually changing majors, for example, sends a negative signal to employers. At
some point you need to stick with the one you've got and get that degree. There will be

plenty of opportunities to reroute your career after you leave school.

Desire to just "take your time" or "nave as much fun as possible" wifl not

send you to the top of an employers "most wanted" list either.

CU wins a thriller over the 16th ranked Indians

by John C. Crawford
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Since returning from the
winter break, the Golden
Eagles have continued a solid
season. Their 5-2 record in the
new year has raised them to an
1 1-5 record. Four PS AC West
matches have taken place, with
the Eagles winning three.
Clarion is currently in second
place in the West.

The team entered the break
off a rough showing at the
West Virginia Tech

Tournament (December 10 &
11). The Eagles struggled to a
71-69 victory in overtime
against Tusculum. In their
second match Clarion went
down hard to the tournament
host, West Virginia Tech 76-
65.

The one bright spot for the
tournament was freshman
Rollie Smith. Smith from
Cleveland was chosen PSAC-
West "Rookie of the Week" for
his performance there. He
averaged 17 points and 3.5
assists per game in the tourna-
ment. He also shot 53 percent
from the three point arc going
(8-15). He hit the game win-
ning shot with one second to
play to defeat Tusculum in
overtime.

The Eagles returned to action
on Friday, January 7, at the
Pizza Hut Classic. Against
East Strousbourg, Clarion took
an 80-77 win. Clarion defeat-
ed their once former assistant
Mike Power who is now head
coach at East Strousbourg.
The win came in part from a
large performance by sopho-
more forward David Shearer.
Shearer piled up 21 points, 10
boards, 5 assists and 4 steals.
Shearer is averaging 15.5
points and 9.2 rebounds. The
next day CU absorbed a 87-78
loss to the University of
Pittsburgh-Johnstown.

Clarion bounced back two
days later with a 127-90
thrashing of Goldey-Beacom.
A game which featured a great
demonstration of the art of ball
control by the Golden Eagles.
Tamir Harbin who is averaging
17.3 points per game keyed the
attack with 24 points. Rollie
Smith (9.8ppg, 4.25 apg) had a
team season-high nine assists.
The Eagles moved the ball
well, with a total of 33 assists
and 14 steals in the game. The
performance included good
shooting, the Eagles going 47
of 76 from the floor, and 18 of
30 from beyond the arc.

On January 12, Clarion

opened PSAC West play on the
road, at Edinboro. The teams
went into overtime, with
Edinboro taking control in an
85-74 win. Harbin again
logged 24 points. Forward
Allen Stevens (12.6 ppg, 5.9
rpg) was key in pulling down
14 rebounds.

Once more, the Eagles
returned from a difficult loss
to crush an opponent. This
time the victim was
Shippensburg, on Saturday,
January 15, in Clarion. Harbin
led the charge again, with 22
points. The other junior col-
lege transfer Chris Kelley
(12.4 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 2.1 steals
per game) grabbed 17
rebounds and created five
turnovers. Shearer blocked
three shots, as Shippensburg
was crushed 90-60.

The Eagles put on another
show to ring in the new semes-
ter, hosting Lock Haven on
January 19. LHU went down
88-71. The Eagles controlled
the game the whole way, from
a 42-28 lead at the half to a 57-
34 gap in the second half.
David Shearer notched 22
points and 10 rebounds in the
contest.

Clarion made its most excit-
ing effort of the year as it trav-

29 in favor of Clarion, set up a
spectacular second. With
10:18 to play, IUP expanded
its lead to ten. The margin

Clarion basketball in action pictured above. Clarion has
been able to produce an 11-5 record including a big win
last weekend at conference leader IUP.

(3.4 ppg, 2.4 rpg) shaved the
lead to 61-56.

A Shearer free throw at 2:13
brought the game within one.
Both teams missed chances to
ice the game at the line. With
:08 on the clock, Chris Kelley
sealed the deal, knocking in an
18-foot jumper. The Eagles
took home the 63-62 win,
moving the team's record to
11-5.

Clarion will be on the road
Saturday, January 29th for a 7
p.m. tip-off against UPJ.
Wednesday the Eagles will
host California, Pa (15-4 over-
all, 4-0 PSAC West) on
Wednesday, February 2. The
game is a rematch of last
year's PSAC West play-off
game, which Clarion lost.

CU wins a thriller over the 16th ranked Indians

by John C. Crawford
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Since returning from the
winter break, the Golden
Eagles have continued a solid
season. Their 5-2 record in the
new year has raised them to an
11-5 record. Four PSAC West
matches have taken place, with
the Eagles winning three.
Clarion is currently in second
place in the West.

The team entered the break
off a rough showing at the
West Virginia Tech

Tournament (December 10 &
11). The Eagles struggled to a
71-69 victory in overtime
against Tusculum. In their
second match Clarion went
down hard to the tournament
host, West Virginia Tech 76-
65.

Junior college transfers have pushed
CU men's hoops to an 11-5 record

by J.P. Kenney
t larion Call Staff Writer

Tamir Harbin and Chris Kelley
are two junior college transfers
making the difference on the
hardwood this year for Clarion.
The men's basketball team has
compiled a 11-5 record this sea-
son. Both Harbin and Kelley
have brought quickness and raw
talent to this years team along
with more maturity.

Harbin is primarily a shooting
guard but he can play the point
or the small forward spot if nec-
essary. This has been causing
match-up problems for the
opposition all season long.

"Tamir is best at the two spot.
He has the nice fluid game to fit
there," said head coach Dr.
Righter.

Tamir came to Clarion through
Haggerstown Community

College. There, Harbin flour-
ished his all-around package of

skills which caught Clarion's
eyes. Before college Harbin
was tearing up the competition
at Interboro High in Prospect
Park, PA. He was named
Delaware County "Player of the
Year" where as a senior he aver-
aged over 25 points per game.

"Tamir is an excellent athlete,
he posses excellent shooting
range," said head coach Dr. Ron
Righter.

Harbin has shown that skill
this year for the Golden Eagles
by averaging 17.3 points per
game while shooting 44 percent
from the field. Not to mention
40 percent from the three point
arc which is impressive consid-
ering he is averaging 6 attempts
per game. Tamir is also hitting
the boards averaging almost 5
boards a game.
" I am pleased with how quick-
ly he has adapted to the system
especially defensively,"said

coach Righter.

Harbin is averaging a little
over one steal a game he also
has four blocks on the season.

Harbin's fellow teammate and
another junior college transfer
Chris Kelley has brought an
impressive all-around game as
well to the floor this season.
Kelley is a junior guard who
came to Clarion via Murray
State Junior College. He was
team MVP there averaging 16
points per game and 4 rebounds
and 2 steals a game. This 6'2"
190 pound junior has been
putting up just as impressive
numbers for Clarion this year.

"He is just an all-around
impact player who can play all
the guard spots for us," said
Coach Righter of Kelley.

Kelley is averaging 12.5
points per game while shooting
42 percent from the field.
Kelley has been primarily play-

ing the 3 spot when Harbin is in can do it all whether its posting
the game. He also leads the up or hitting the three,"said
team in blocked shots with 11. Righter of Kelley.

The 11 blocked shots this year
could be attributed to his
impressive 40 inch vertical
jump. Not to mention he is sec-
ond in steals and second in
rebounds averaging over 6
boards per game.
"We ask him to do a lot but he

Junior college is proving to be
an excellent spring board for
athletes. They are getting two
years experience and are turning
that experience into quality
play. This is never more evident
in Harbin and Kelley this year,
here at Clarion.

Women's hoops drops sixth in a row
losing to the #1 team in the region

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

The CU Women's basketball
team dropped their sixth in a row
on Saturday at IUP. The team fell
to a very good IUP squad by the
score of 62-48. It dropped the
CU women to a 6-10 mark mov-
ing their conference record to 0-4
in the PSAC West.

IUP remained undefeated in the
process moving to 16-0 and 3-0
in conference play. IUP jumped
out to a 7-2 run to begin the game
and would never trail in the
game. IUP was led by the hot
hand of Melissa McGill ,who
shot 7 of 11 from the field for 18
points.

Trailing by seven 29-22 with
3:46 in the first half Clarion was
battling hard. IUP then went on a
7-0 run to end the half. Which

pushed the lead to the largest of
the game, fourteen points.
Coming out of the second half,
the IUP Indians started off where
they finished going on a 6-0 run
with two lay up buckets from
Carrie Maitland. Maitland had
11 points on 4 of 16 shooting.
This enabled the Indians to hold
off the Golden Eagles for the rest
of the game. Clarion never got
the lead under twelve after that.

"We rose to the occasion in the
second half. We out rebounded
them by six in the second half. I
was pleased with that aspect of
our game," said head coach Gie
Parsons of her team.

Once again this game, Clarion
missed a solid presence under-
neath the basket. IUP center
McGill pulled down 13 rebounds
along with her 18 points. McGill
handled the likes of Courtney

Willman and freshman Erin
Stinnette.

Willman pulled down 6
rebounds and scored 2 points in a
twenty-two minute performance.
The 6'4" freshman Stinnette
scored 4 points while pulling
down 3 rebounds in fourteen
minutes. In addition the Golden
Eagles continued their poor
shooting from the field. Clarion
shot thirty-four percent from the
field. This was attributed partly
to the shooting of Allison Stodart
,who went 1 of 8 from the field
scoring 5 points. Also,senior,
Miesha Henry had a rough go of
it from the floor shooting 4 of 15
for 11 points.

The one bright spot for the
Golden Eagles continues to be
junior guard, Melissa Yearous.
Yearous is coming into her own
this year averaging 13.5 points

CU wrestling coming off
back to back losses

by Josiah Jones
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion University grapplers
are on a two match slide; losing
the last two dual matches to
Bloomsburg and Buffalo.

Against Bloomsburg, Clarion
lost decisively 27-11. It was a
tough loss for the team and for
each wrestler. At 149 pounds
Clarion's Stan Spoore lost to
George Carter 11-9. Carter has
had Spoore's number beating him
last year as well in a tough match
2-1. Brad Harris also came up
short losting 5-2 at 174 pounds.
At 184 pounds. Clarion's Aarron
Mitchell lost a tough match with
one second left by the score of 2- 1 .

"We just lost every toss up match
that could have went either way.
This proves to be the deciding fac-
tor, "said second year head coach
Ken Nellis of his team.

The Buffalo loss was a tough one
to swallow for the CU wrestlers.
Clarion lost a hard-fought match
18-17. The one point proved to be
immense because Clarion was
deducted a team point for
unsportsmanlike conduct. The
unsportsmanlike conduct was due
to a vulgarity one wrestler yelled
after a loss in one of his matches.
Clarion did have some bright spots
though ,with two wrestlers bounc-

ing back after losses to
Bloomsburg. Stan Spoore at 149
pounds, and Brad Harris, at 174,
pounds, both got victories. In
addition heavyweight John Testa
continued to wrestle well, winning
6-4.

Mark Angle also won in both
matches moving his record up to
19-2 on the year.

"Mark continues to wrestle well.
He just had two losses, one in
which the wrestler pulled a five
point move on him," said Coach
Nellis of the two-time Ail-
American Angle.

The Golden Eagles next stop is
PSAC's. Edinboro is the clear
favorite coming in ranked number
nine in all of Division I. Lock
Haven is expected to come in next.
The Golden Eagles are expecting
to be competing for third and
could go as high as second if they
wrestle well according to Coach
Nellis.

CU track team to open indoor season

by J. P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

CU track and field heads indoors
for a total of five meets in prepara-
tion for the upcoming spring sea-
son

"The indoor season allows the
athletes to keep in shape for the
outdoor season," said head coach
,Pat Mooney.

Mooney's expectations are high
for both the men and women. Last
year was one of the best year's in
track and field for Clarion
University. That should continue
that way. The women are return-
ing everyone who scored a point at
PS AC\s a year ago.

The women's team will keep that
conditioning up in the indoor sea-
son. A select few will travel to
Penn State this weekend to com-

pete in a Division I meet. The
meet will take place in the new
state of the art arena built by Penn
State University. The arena fea-
tures a built in electronic system to
change the degree of the bank in
the turns around the track.

Five women are selected to com-
pete for Clarion at the difficult
meet. Heidi Schellegrim, will
compete in the shot put along with
possibly her teammate Cara
Emrich. Sophomore Tory Watt, an
all-conference sprinter in the 100
meters will take on the competi-
tion at Penn State in the 55 meter.

Maureen Long, who makes her
mark outdoors for the CU cross
country team will also attend the
meet. She was named all-confer-
ence this past fall in cross country.
Lisa Hamrick a Clarion University

record holder in the pole vault will
also compete. She is one of many
who broke 1 1 school records a
year ago.

On the men's side Clarion will
definitely take four athletes to this
meet. Cross country runner, Ean
King who was named all- region,
will lead the way for the CU men.
King was the first ever male to be
named all-region in Clarion
University history. Senior, Jon
Delish, an all-conference hurdler
and Dave Clark a sprinter, will be
two more competiting against
some Division I talent. Rounding
out the men's side will be high
jumper Tony Morrow.

The indoor season will finish just
before winter break on February
26th. The outdoor season will
begin after break. Clarion is hop-

ing to get a few athletes to qualify
for the Penn Relay, held in late
April. Clarion's coach Mooney
expects a big season especially on
the women's side.

"Our women are turning into a
championship team. The men still
have room for improvement but
they are continuing to grow,"
Coach Mooney said.

Those who are not competing
this weekend at the Division I
meet at Penn State will travel to
Slippery Rock on Friday.

There will be many PSAC
schools at Slippery Rock. This
will enable Clarion to see where
they stack up for the upcoming
spring season in conference.

The Slippery Rock meet will
enable Clarion to get a good look
at the depth of their team.

CU Swimmers host West Chester and Binghamton

by J. P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

The CU men and women's
swimming teams were in action
this past weekend at Tippin
Gymnasium. Both the men and
women's teams hosted West
Chester University and
Binghamton University, a
Division III school. The Clarion
women defeated both West
Chester University and
Binghamton. On the men's side,
they did manage to beat
Binghamton. But the men came
up short to a very well-rounded
West Chester team.

The CU women defeated
PSAC rival West Chester by a
score of 234-36 and beat
Binghamton 303-64. The
women were led by Shannon
Cattoni, a junior, who won three
events over the weekend. She

won the 500 freestyle destroy-
ing her next closest swimmer by
four seconds. She also won the
women's 200 meter freestyle in
a time of 1:55. The junior
capped off her successful week-
end by winning the 100 meter
freestyle over sophomore, Taura
Wizniak of West Chester.
Fellow teammate, senior Nikki
Diloretto was not to be outdone
as she also won three events.
She captured the 100 meter
breast stroke and the 200 meter
breast stroke. She also won a
tough battle over a West Chester
swimmer in the 50 meter
freestyle. She won by .12 sec-
onds with a time of 25. 13. Other
winners on the women's side
included CU junior, Meghan
Tracy who mastered the back-
stroke winning both the 100
meter and 200 meter. She post-
ed times of 1:00.92 in the 100

meter and 2:10.78 in the 200
meter.

The women were also able to
capture 4 relay events. The CU
women won the 200 meter med-
ley relay, 200 freestyle, 400
meter medley, and 400 meter
freestyle.

The CU men faced a very dif-
ficult West Chester team.
Clarion came up short to West
Chester losing 231-139. But
Clarion was able to beat
Division III Binghamton
University 308-62. Only one
man was able to capture an out-
right victory that was, Doug
Scott who won the 200 meter
backstroke. Dan Pierce swam
well for CU posting two second
place finishes. Pierce finished
second in the 200 meter freestyle
and second as well in the 100
meter freestyle. The men did
manage one victory in a relay

event winning the 200 meter
freestyle with a time of 1:27.

The CU divers performed very
well. Stephanie Sutton contin-
ued her success by winning the 1
meter and 3 meter diving com-
petition. She scored 677 points
in the 1 meter and 694 in the 3
meter. Fellow teammate

Amanda Earnest gave Sutton
heavy competition finishing sec-
ond in both events.

On the men's side both events
were won by West Chester diver,
Ron Leraris. Greg Heinley of
Clarion finished the highest for
the men, finishing second in
both the 1 meter and 3 meter
dives.

The men and women's teams
will be competiting next on
Friday at Allegheny then will
head to Ohio to compete at
Youngstown State University.

CU and Alltell change
campus prefix to '393'

by Jeff Say

Clarion Call

Editor-in-Chief

The Clarion University prefix
of '226' will be no more after this
semester. The change, which took
place earlier this year, will have
all the university dialing '393' by
the beginning of summer.

The change took place because
of several reasons, according to
Steve Selker, Associate Director
of Center for Computing Services
and Karen DeMauro, Assistant
V.P. for Computing Services.

One of the main reasons is the
construction that will take place in
Carlson Library this summer.
Carlson was the home for the old
phone systems Demarck point, the
area in which all phone lines con-
nect into Clarion University. That
area is now located in Still Hall.
The old phone system was operat-
ed by Bell Atlantic which used
copper wiring that was in place
for nearly thirty years. The new
system will be using fiber wiring
and Alltell as the server.
According to DeMauro the
University went with the '393'
prefix because the University can

now use 5,000 phone numbers.
This enables dorm rooms to have
two separate phone lines per
room. Each dorm room will also
be equipped with tow plugs for
the internet. This change will take
effect in the summer.

With the introduction of the
'393' prefix the university will
have its own exchange with
Alltell.

The change over to the new pre-
fix began with preparation in the
fall semester and the actual "cut"
was made on January 12. The
switch will be complete at the
beginning of the summer but

administration will be able to use
the 226 prefix till the end of the
year.

DeMauro stated that there have
been some problems but at this
time they have all been fixed.

The new system is being run
through a PBX line in Still Hall
which will add more flexibility to
the phone service on campus. The
system will provide for voice
messaging and will adapt for the
vax-fax service.

Alltell was able to install the
new service after applying
through the Public Utilities
Commission. In August the

University changed companies
which set up a new cable plan that
works through a centrix service to
the PBX.

To make sure that the new sys-
tem was in working condition
before the students arrived, the
residence assistants and directors
checked each room for bugs and
possible defects in the phone sys-
tem. For their services, Alltel has
given R.A.'s half price cable for
this semester.

Demauro said that a student poll
may be taken to find out what stu-
dents want to be changed, based
on cost and majority rules.

The staff of the Clarion Call has received several
letters and editorials regarding the plight of Elian
Gonzales, a young Cuban boy who survived when
his mother died in the waves of the Pacific Ocean.
We ourselves were split on the decision of
whether the boy should be returned to Cuba, to
whom, and by when.

There were some valid points brought up. First,
since he is Cuban bom, maybe it SHOULD be up
to the Cuban officials to bring him home.

Another point is that why is the United States
stepping in just in this case? It is going to set a
precedent for future escapees.

On the other hand, we are the land of the free.
What does it look like to send a poor Cuban boy
back to his home where it is rumored that there
were instances of potential abuse?

As for the grandmothers coming to the United
States to go on national TV, it seemed rather tacky.
They barely stayed in the U.S. for two days and
then rushed back to Cuba. And for what? The boy
they claim to love so much was left behind.

Finally, what does little Elian want? What have
we heard from him? Everyone is too busy shelter-
ing the boy from the press and media. But, who is
taking the time out of the chaos to talk with Elian
and find out what his life was like in Cuba and how
bad (or good) it was.

Little Elian needs to make his plea for his own
independence.

Your Views

Why not ask Elian?

Dear Editor,

Recently, someone asked me about my position on the Elian
Gonzalez issue (Le., should Elian be sent back to Cuba or retained by

"Legally the boy % fattier
should have custody."

John C. Crawford

Fathers and Sons

There are not always two
sides to every story. Sometimes
there is one side — then there is a
bunch of people who entered the
story from a different book. In no
arena is this more true than poli-
ties. In a world of agendas, agree-
ments, and arrangements, the very
nature of intercourse is arrived at
in large part by the cross-section-
ing of parties. Strange bedfellows
are the name of the game.

Take for example the case of
Elian Gonzalez, the six year-old
boy whose mother undertook the
dangerous journey across the
straits between Cuba and Florida.
In the process the mother died.
The US Coast Guard recovered
the boy at sea. Thereupon turned
over to relatives in Florida, Elian
has since become the center of a
political storm.

Here's the problem. Elian's
father is still alive in Cuba.
Moreover, he is a supporter of the
socialist government there. Oh,
and by the way: what his mother
did in taking the boy could only
constitute international kidnap-
ping. But, the United States
Congress, in 1995, effectively
gave political asylum to any
Cuban who made it to Florida.

Weighing in are both politi-
cal parties in Congress, Florida's
large Cuban exile community, and

the INS. The INS ordered the boy
be sent home. The exile commu-
nity has pressured Congress,
especially Florida Republicans, to
intervene to keep Elian in the US.
Florida Republicans see the
Cubans as a key voter bloc. The
President has quietly weighed in
behind his own people in the
Executive Branch, the

Immigration and Naturalization
Services (INS). The Cuban gov-
ernment has made no ambiguities
about its position: Elian must be
returned to Cuba.

Legally, the boy's father
should have custody. In almost
any other case this would not be a
point of fact in debate. US law has
seen fit, even in circumstances of
things far more dubious than
political affiliation, that children
be returned to their closest kin.
Barring a unique circumstance
(such as, if the boy's father was a
sex offender), the law returns cus-
tody to the closest of kin without
regard. This is why the INS con-
cluded Elian should be returned to
Cuba.

Even if we exclude the
legalism of custody, the further
legalism of immigration control
comes into play. In the separation
of powers under the American
Constitution, branches of the gov-

Editorial

" I am just lucky that I

have parents like this.

This editorial is giving

me a chance to thank

them for all their

support and love*"

J.P. Kenney, Sports Editor

Over winter break I found
myself flipping through an old
Sports Illustrated. In it I came
across an article about the now,
retired NBA superstar Charles
Barkley. In it he said how parents
were the real role models and not
the athletes. I thought to myself,
"that isn't even true".

But I have thought about it a lot.
It has helped me realize how true
he actually is. Here I am having
the best time of my life while my
parents are back home working
away to help pay for school. That
article helped me to see how
many things they do for me each
day. I have unfairly taken for
granted all the things they have
brought to me.

My father is one of the hardest
working people I know. He
works more than sixty hours a
week, seven days a week. But
his work is not his life. He is that
type of dad who is at every func-
tion one has growing up. He was
that coach of my little league
team, he was at every school con-
ference, or he would be the first
one to ask how my day was.
Back to the hardworking aspect,
he has given me every thing I

could have ever wanted. The
bottom line is he puts myself
before himself in every part of
life. He has truly made my life a
great one to live.

As for my mother she is that
understanding one who know's
how her oldest son of two feels.
She can look into my eyes and
realize my pain or happiness.
She knows how to bring me up
when I am down. She is that
mom who works that three days a
week and the other two takes care
of her mom. She is that mom
who is the loudest one cheering at
every little league game her son
plays in. She's that mom who
will let you take out the car with
out an argument. She is what a
mom should be: loving and
understanding.

I am just lucky that I have par-
ents like this. This editorial is
giving me a chance to thank them
for all their support and love. It is
a shame in this day in age that 50
percent of marriages end in
divorce. I can't tell you how
many kids truly don't know there
parents. Then, in turn, the par-
ents don't know their kids. I'm
one of the lucky ones.

Elian Gonzales' has struggle
ahead for own independence

There were some valid points brought up. First,
since he is Cuban born, maybe it SHOULD be up
to the Cuban officials to bring him home.

Another point is that why is the United States
stepping in just in this case? It is going to set a
precedent for future escapees.

On the other hand, we are the land of the free.
What does it look like to send a poor Cuban boy
back to his home where it is rumored that there
were instances of potential abuse?

Little Elian needs to make his plea for his own
independence.

Commentary

by Keith Gwillim
Lifestyles Ed.

"Nothing in this world can touch
the music that I heard..."

- Bernard Sumner, "Dream
Attack"

Lying on my back as the intona-
tion washes' over me, feeling the
ebb and surge of naked human
emotion in time to the beat; relish-
ing in perhaps the only thing that
manages to be jarring and joyous
within the same extension, I real-
ize the singular dynamism of
music.

At the peril of over-poeticizing,
(which I'm prone to do) hitting
the "Play" button on my stereo is
at once an opening of the spirit
floodgates, an insertion of the
skeleton key to souls, and a thrust-
ing open of a door that overlooks
all from Heaven to Hell, Answers
to Ambiguity, and Elysium to
Exile; not to mention a com-
pelling dance groove or two.
"Break On Through," indeed.

"Life without music would be a
mistake"

- Ad in 'Rolling Stone' maga-
zine

So what makes music so exhila-
ratingly captivating? The sound-
track to our lives. The sound to
fill the silence. The white noise
for the void. Poetry (both tanta-
lizing and tepid) in motion, given

life beyond ink and dead flattened
trees. The ultimate form of
expressionism. No other art form
can attain its goal in such a con-
cise, concentrated manner. It's
comparing apples and oranges,
but what a film takes 2 hours to
build up, a song can convey with
a few twangs of a 12-string, or a
cacophony of cascading drums.
The purest conduit "between
thought and expression," to bor-
row a phrase from Lou Reed.

"Music can be such an inspira-
tion; dancing around you feel the
sweet sensation."

- Madonna, "Into the Groove"

Need more reasons? Music is
sex for the ears. The pull of a bow
across a violin equaling a lover's
caress. The strum of a harp remi-
niscent of a sweet sigh in your
ears. A slow progression of emo-
tive instruments and impassioned
vocals; painted with broad strokes
of succulent suggestion and las-
civious lyrics that climaxes in
auditory orgasm.

An effective song can wrap you
up in massaging billows of ivory-
white clouds warmed by the
silken breath of angels; or thrust
you upon a rusted slab of agoniz-
ing spikes, pummeled by the

OPINION

CrQvVfOrdl Why Elian Gonzalez should be freed , from Page 3.

government gain a pre-emptive right to control certain legal domains if they have histori-
cally done so. Historically, the Executive Branch, via INS, has controlled immigration laws.

The problem is that Congress can set citizenship requirements. But, the question of whether
Congress can specifically grant citizenship over-and-above the Executive Branch's own power of
deportation is difficult. Further, a law effected after a ruling has been concluded is ex post facto,
and thereby null upon passage. Moreover, legal deadlock can last a long time. At the age of 18,
Elian Gonzalez would become his own legal guardian. At that point, the decision would be his
own. Needless of being said, after twelve years in the United States, Elian would choose to
remain.

The reality is that deadlock is not an option. It favors no party. Secondly, the appeal of the
ruling will start in too high a court to be dragged along for twelve years.

In Constitutional terms, this is why Gonzalez must be returned to Cuba. During the 1960s
this issue came up in the INS v. Chadha case. Chadha was a student in the United States on a visa
from Kenya. Chadha himself was from India. His family had originally come to Kenya through
the edifices of the old British Empire. In 1963, around the time Chadha's visa ran Out, a decade
of ethnic warfare had ended with Kenyan independence. Serious threats to the lives of all non-
Kenyans were made. Therefore, the INS had chosen to allow Chadha to remain without a visa.
But, in that day, the INS had to make a list of deportation exceptions, which had to be approved
by Congress. Congress did not approve Chadha. However, the Supreme Court could not do this
because Congress did not have the power to veto Executive decisions. The power of executing
naturalization laws lay solely with the offices of the President and his subordinates. In the case
of Elian Gonzalez this means the decision of the INS, and subsequently of Attorney General Janet
Reno, is the final word.

The Cuban exile community is being played for the biggest of fools. If there is one lesson
we have learned from 1990s politics, it is the art of supporting a cause without paying for it.
Congress is doing this now. The fact is, by Constitutional precedent, there is no means whereby
Elian Gonzalez can remain in the United States. It would abrogate international laws and treaties.
It would fly in the face of Supreme Court rulings regarding immigration. However, Congress will
never have to pay for the political backlash of this event. The President will.

Snowed in ... or do you know
how to drive during the winter?

by A.A Thompson

Clarion Call

Assistant News Editor

As driving conditions worsen in
the winter, one must take steps to
ensure safety.

*Be sure to clean off all snow,
ice. and mud from your windows,
roof and headlights.

*Also, remember to keep your
headlights on low.

* Avoid wearing awkward cloth-
ing like bulky coats and mittens.

*Be aware of lurking dangers
with ice patches, frozen bridges,
and lack of visibility.

*Remember to allow yourself
extra time to get where you are
going. Take things slow and leave
plenty of room between yourself
and other cars.

*Be cautious of other drivers,
who may not be prepared for the

winter changes, causing acci-
dents. Don't fail to notice broken
down vehicles which may
obstruct your way.

*Pay close attention to the road,
in order to reduce sudden stops
and turns.

*Make sure everything is work-
ing properly with your vehicle,
especially brakes and tires.

*Have your car equipped with
an emergency car kit. This kit
should include: a flashlight, an
ice scraper, blankets, jumper
cables, and sand or non-clumping
cat litter.

*If possible, travel by day,
because visibility is reduced at
night.

*As with any driving condition,
the use of drugs and alcohol is
unacceptable.

inexperienced drivers should
not be on the road during an
extreme snowstorm. If you are an
inexperienced driver, practice
winter driving with supervision.

*Most importantly, remember to
use common sense. Even the
safest driver can be helpless dur-
ing poor driving conditions.

*If you are unfortunate enough
to get into a skid, take your foot
off the brake, and put your car into
neutral (if it's an automatic trans-
mission) or de-clutch (if it's a
manual transmission). Steer in
the direction you want the front of
your vehicle to go. Once you
have straightened your car, shift to
drive or release the clutch.
Accelerate slowly.

Drive safely this winter season!

University van totaled

by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

A Clarion University vehicle
carrying eight students from
minority student services
wrecked in Pittsburgh at 4:30
Saturday afternoon. The eight
passengers were taken to the
hospital. Six were treated and
released while two were kept
overnight for testing and
released on Sunday.

It is not known what caused
the accident, but rumors of
faulty brakes have been
reported.

The accident occurred while
traveling into an intersection
from Washington Boulevard
onto East Liberty Boulevard.
At the intersection, the van
failed to stop and it flipped
over onto its roof. As a result
of the damages, the van will
more than likely never be used
again.

The van was towed to
Pittsburgh and will be picked
up today. Driving at the time
was Mario Anderson, a
Clarion University student.

The students were participat-
ing in a community service
project in conjunction with
Christian Life Skills, Inc. and
Pittsburgh churches at the time
of the accident. This is the
sixth year that Clarion
University's minority student
services has participated in
this project.

Rogers Laugand 111,
Director of Minority Student
Services refused to answer any
questions stating he had not
yet received all of the facts.

Public schools unite
with Clarion to tutor

by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Staff Writer

In order to help children who are
having trouble learning to read,
Clarion University has teamed up
with various public schools across
western Pennsylvania.

Through the College of
Education and Human Services,
and the Department of Special
Education and Rehabilitative
Sciences, university students have
become involved in two major
projects. School Tutors and
America/Rural PA Reads.

The School Tutors Project,
which developed last spring, was
originally designed to help chil-
dren in kindergarten through
grade three learn to read at their
respective levels. Since then, the
program has grown extensivly to
include all elementary grades.
Clarion's School Tutors Project
works similarly to the America
Reads Challenge, which is a fed-
eral branch striving for the same
purpose.

Almost $90,000 of Federal Work
Study funds are used by the
School Tutors Project to hire col-
lege students. Undergraduate and
graduate university students are
trained, individually asigned to
one of the seven school districts,
and then monitored by personnel.
The schools that are currently par-
ticipating include Brookville,
Clarion, Clarion-Limestone,
DuBois, Franklin, North Clarion,
and Union. There are fifteen uni-
versity students working through-
out these elementary schools, and
there is a waiting list of an ddi-
tional 2 1 students.

Another program Clarion
University is involved in is the
America/Rural PA Reads Project.
The university has combined its

financial and personal assets with
those of Keystone SMILES,
AmeriCorps and public schools
with the goal to expand reading
services to children.

AmeriCorps, which is a national
service organization that puts peo-
ple into service in exchange for
tuition, provedes two to three part
time and full time members to ele-
mentary school districts. This par-
ticular program is in its third year
of operation and is helping
schools teach children who are
having problems learning to read.
It totals about 20,000 hours of
reading assistance service and rep-
resents the equivalent of over
15,000, of instructional services.

The school districts which offer
the America/Rurl PA Reads
Project are: Clarion-Limestone,
North Clarion, and Union in
Clarion County; Franklin School
District in Venango County;
Millcreek School District in Erie
County; Punxsutawney School
District in Jefferson County; and
Shaler School District in Alleheny
County.

These programs are funded
through various local, state, and
federal resorces. Clarion

University students need not be an
Education or Rehabilitative
Sciences major. The only require-
ment is that they are eligible for
work-study positions. Students
who would like more information
may contact Marta Alexander or
Karn McNaughton in the base-
ment of Carlson Library.
Alications are still available,
although transportation to the ele-
mentary schools is not provided.

The School Tutors Project, as
well as America/Rural PA Reads,
are valuable programs, which
really help children learn to read.

Betting on college and amateur
sports would be illegal anywhere in
the United States under a bill intro-
duced Tuesday by Republican Sen.
Sam Brownback of Kansas and a
bipartisan list of supporters.

If approved the measure would
outlaw any bet placed on a high
school, college or Olympic sporting
event-including through Nevada's
legal sports betting industry.

Proponents-including
Democratic co-sponsor Sen.
Patrick Leahy of Virginia and
Republican presidential canidate
Sen. John McCain of Arizona-
hope a ban will curb point-shaving
and problem gambling on college
campuses. Opponents say the bill
would do no good and might actu-
ally hinder law enforcement efforts.

Brownback said the bill was a
response to last year's National
Gambling Impact Study

Commission report, financed by
Congress, which recommended a
total ban on collegiate wagering.

"This is not about winning and
losing," Brownback said in an
interview. "The problem is large
bets and people approaching ath-
letes about saving points."

"There have been more point-
shaving scandals at our colleges
and universities in the 1990's than
in every other decade before it,
combined"

"For teen-agers, sports gambling
is the gateway to get into more
gambling," Brownback added.
"There's a big conern on college
campuses."

Leahy said, "A national ban on
amateur and college sports betting
may help prevent these ravages of
sports wagering."

The bill would expand the reach
of a 1992 law passed by Congress
that prohibited wafering on all ama-
teur and professional sports except
in a handful of states where the
activity was already legal-Nevada,
Delaware, Oregon and Montana.

In a statement Tuesday the
American Gaming Association
pledged to fight the bill, which it

termed it "an ineffective Band-aid
on a campus cancer."

The national casino lobby said the
National Collegiate Athletic-
Association acknowledged wide-
spread betting on its games. The
casino lobby urged the NCAA to
devise a "long overdue strategy" to
clean up the problem without
penalizing a legitimate industry.

NCAA President Cedric W.
Dempsey endorsed the bill Tuesday
at a news conference with
Brownback and others in
Washington.

But Gaming Association
President Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr.
said that legal Las Vegas sports
books had helped expose collegiate
point-shaving scandals by alerting
authorities to unusual betting pat-
terns. The NCAA acknowledges it
maintains a computer link to
Nevada sports books itself to moni-
tor suspicious betting.

Those safeguards would disap-
pear if all betting on collegiate
sports was driven underground,
Fahrenkopf said.

"The bill introduced today only
addresses the narrow legal issue of
Nevada's "grandfather' status"
under the 1992 law, he said
Tuesday, "and will not make the
slightest dent in illegal sports
wagering."

But Brownback said he didn't
expect the measure to kindle an
underground Prohibition Era of
sports gambling.

"Legal gambling increases sub-
stantially and provides legitimacy
to illegal gambling ," he said.
Outlawing betting on amateur
sports will give pause to many, he
said.

And Brownback said a stiffer law
might persuade news organizations
to stop publishing Las
Vegas oddsmakers' college point
spread predictions, which he said
underpin the illegal bookmaking
industry.

"There's more than a million kids
in this country with a gambling
problem who are under 21" said
Arnie Wexler, a reformed sports
gambling addict, counselor, and
national lecturer.

CI NCINNATI* ' ' '(TMS)-'- When
Carter G. Woodson, an African-
American educator and author,
established "Negro History
Week" in February of 1926, he
may not have understood what it
would come to mean to people
across the country today.

That week formed the basis for
what it is now commonly known
as Black History Month — a time
to reflect on the contributions
African Americans have made to
the U.S. and the rest of the world.
Woodson's vision to set aside spe-
cial time to call attention to issues
of equality, race and a better
America still exists — and is a
vital part of enduring African-
Americans continue to succeed in
the coming new century, many
black educators and professionals
say.

There are indeed many issues —
political and social — that need to
be addressed to ensure African-
Americans achieve their full
potential, said John Brackett, an
associate professor of African-
American studies at the
University of Cincinnati and
director of two after-school acade-

mic programs for inner-city chil-
dren. Poverty, Brackett said, is
perhaps the most pressing because
it prevents many children from
getting a good education.

"Society can't rebuild families
that have broken apart, but society
can re-conceive schools," he said.
"We need to increase the social
welfare services that are available
to them on-site, as well as
improve academic instruction."

To ensure continued success in
the black community, more
African-Americans will need to
embrace diversity, said Linda
Bates, founder and president of
Black Career Women, an interna-
tionally renowned group designed
to support black women in a vari-
ety of professional endeavors.

"African-Americans will need to
learn to accommodate greater
diversity within their own ranks —
diversity of experience, physical
features and even of political
views," she said. "We won't be
able to define people or issues as
black or white. They'll be black,
white, red and brown. We'll have
'tendencies,' not absolutes.

"Although, historically they
(women) were not able to attain
positions of power, they were
always the force behind the men
who thought they had the power,"
she said.

A professor in the department of

He Is reading a writing assign-
ment that he collected from his

Halfway through the stack of
homework he finds a paper that
sounds very familiar. The paper
is a word for word copy of text
taken straight from a book.

Next to the letter grade F on the
assignment the instructor writes,
"See textbook page 237." He
makes a copy of the 1990 fait

Pennsylvania. The program,
"The Importance of Studying
African-American Art-Song,"
is sponsored by the Clarion
University Department of
Music and is free and open to
the public.

The program combines infor-
mation about Taylor's research
interspersed with his perfor-
mances of several African-

encountered when researching
African-American composers,
the wealth of materials avail-
able from varying composing
styles, and the benefits of
studying African-American art
songs. A discussion will fol-

ern art music," says Taylor, the
founder of the African-
American Song Alliance.
"Works by these composers
have been generally neglected
in history books and the teach-
ing of performance repertoire.
It is the purpose of this lecture-
recital to bring some important
works to the fore, to discuss the
difficulty one encounters when
seeking songs by African-
American composers, how this
repertoire can be accessed, and
to empower young, impression-
able singers with the will for
performing these songs."

Taylor, who currently teaches
voice at the University of
Northern Iowa School of Music
in Cedar Falls, enjoys an inter-
national reputation as an inter-
preter of art song and oratorio.
Particularly active in Europe,
he has completed 19 tours of
Spain, singing in that country's
most highly regarded halls. Of
special not among these perfor-
mances is his singing the
Evangelist in Bach's "Passion
According to Saint Matthew," a
first in the 500-year history in
the basilica of the famous
Montserrat monastery.

His specialized recital pro-
grams regularly introduce audi-
ences to newly commissioned
and lesser-known works by
American composers, particu-
larly those by African-
Americans. He has recorded
some of this repertoire for
Cambria Records.

Taylor's repertoire extends
from Bach to Britten and
beyond. His performances are
noted for their compelling
artistry and authority. He sang
with orchestras in the United
States and Europe including
the Johann Strauss Sinfonietta
of Vienna, the W.A. Mozart
Philharmonic of Cluj,
Romania, Camerata

For his research and perfor-

Staind colors the face of modern rock with thier new release

by James Gates
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst has
done it all. Singer, songwriter,
fashion trend setter, superstar,
and now add talent agent and
producer to his resume. Durst's
latest find, Staind, is a talented
rock band, but not in the main-

stream with Limp Bizkit and
Kid Rock.

Virtually unknown two years
ago, Staind played a show with
the Bizkit, where Durst tried to
kick them off the bill for mis-
takenly labeling them Satanists.
After the show, an awestruck
Durst approached the band and
immediately hooked them up

with label associates.

Last spring, Durst and
Bizkit's DJ Lethal produced
Staind's debut album,

Dysfunction. The album opens
with the slamming "Suffocate."
The song's energy and groove
immediately engulfs you, and
you can't pull away until the

final notes of the album come
straining through your speak-
ers. The album isn't pure
testosterone, as the emotionally
charged songs "Just Go" and
"Me" touch every melancholy
nerve in your body.
Dysfunction stirs you into a
frenzy with "Raw" and the
album closer "Spleen."

Those who listen to hard rock
stations such as WCUC at night
has probably heard the single
"Mudshovel" played every now
and then. Though this song
isn't the gemstone of the solid
disc, it is pretty darn catchy.
The lyrics are insightful, but not
Fiona Apple-worthy, as shown
by the chorus in "Mudshovel":

can feel my pain. You can feel

my torment driving me insane.
I can't fight these feelings, they
will bring me pain. You can
take away, make me whole
again." (NOTE: scream every
emotion for full effect.)

Thankfully, there is no white-
boy rapping a'la Kid Rock on
Dysfunction. Aaron Lewis has
a refreshingly good voice, and
helps propel every song to new
emotional highs. Staind's influ-
ences are prevalent on
Dysfunction. The band can
groove as heavy as The
Deftones and Limp Bizkit,
write intricate song structures
like Tool, and dwell in the dark
emotions with Korn. I would
encourage everyone interested
in Staind to buy the CD,
because there is a hidden track
at the end. The track is a rough
acoustic song written by Lewis
and Durst, a somber love song
with only guitar and vocals. It
alone is worth the price of the
disc.

I am a strict critic towards
packaged bands and bland
music, but Dysfunction is a
refreshing album worthy of four

and a half stars out of five.

Girl, Interrupted could have been a TV movie

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Due to Angelina Jolie's
success at this years Golden
Globe Awards, her recent
film, Girl, Interrupted will
probably be seen by lots of
moviegoers who otherwise
wouldn't have given the
movie a chance.

...Interrupted, for which
Jolie took home the Best
Actress award, nicely show-
cases her talents and offers
her the opportunity to steal
the show. Otherwise,

...Interrupted is a modestly
entertaining film that, aside
from its big name stars,
could just have easily been a
made-for-TV movie.

Movies like ...Interrupted
are always a pain to review,
because even though there's
nothing really wrong with
them, they just don't have
that intangible quality that
separates a merely okay film
from one that you'd tell you
friends to rush out and see.
The characters in

...Interrupted are interesting
enough, but since we learn

next to nothing about most depression. When Susanna's

nected to these ladies than hospital. Susanna takes

you did when the opening their advice and reluctantly

credits hit the screen. enters a world that's

Wynnona Ryder (who dou- stranger than any she's ever

bles as executive producer) previously known,
stars as Susanna Kaysen, a Susanna initially rejects

young writer struggling with the doctor's claims that she

has what's called a border-
line personality disorder and
eventually succumbs to the
possibility that her problems
will never get better. Torn
between the guidance and
aid of Nurse Valerie
(Whoopie Goldberg) and
following the destructive
path of her volatile new
friend Lisa (Jolie), Susanna
is faced with a difficult
choice: should she try to
vanquish her dark side or
revel in the newfound free-
dom it brings?

That's really about it.
Imagine a kinder, gentler
version of One Flew Over
the Cuckoo's Nest. There
are few real surprises in
...Interrupted, except for the
way director James Mangold
(best known for his work on
Sylvester Stallone's Cop
Land) gives the first few
scenes a time-bending feel
by blending elements from
the past with those from the
present.

Jolie's performance as
Lisa, a cold-hearted manipu-
lator whose motives are
never adequately explained,
is the highlight of the film.

Dangerously psychotic yet
heartbreakingly beautiful,
Jolie's maniacal Lisa is the
sole spark of Girl,
Interrupted. Goldberg lends
a quiet dignity to her role as
Nurse Valerie, proving that
the former star of the Sister
Act series is a fine
actress. ..at least when she
isn't starring in crap like
Theodore Rex. Ryder is also
good as Susanna, although
I've noticed that these days
Wynonna's pixie-ish haircut
is making her look more and
more like a female Leonard
Nimoy.

Girl, Interrupted might
not be one of my new
favorite films, but it's still
worth checking out, if only
to see a performance that
should establish Angelina
Jolie as one of Hollywood's
most intense new stars. If
that doesn't intrigue you,
hold off on ...Interrupted
until its video release, so
you can invite Wynnona
Ryder and all her loveable
psychopathic friends into
the privacy and warmth of
your own living room.

So it's the fabled "new millennium."
We haven't got flying cars or space
stations, or cities on Mars or any of
that Sci-Fi crap. Buy hey, we still got
LOTS of great music kicking around,
more than enough to see us through
until we have a flying car or two.

First up is the maiden release from
Seattle's POP Sweatshop Records,
SPiV's By Definition. A new take on
old school guitar rock sound is
SPiV's trademark. On tracks such as
"Nibley View" and "Dizzy Tizzy,"
the guys rock in a way that makes
being a garage band almost fun again.

maamuamm

The high points of the album come
later, though, with a cover (and
spruce-up) of the Primus song "Make
the Best of It" and the ultra-short
"Bass Gets Me Laid." Although the
album is very good and, at points,
very funny, there is something a bit
unremarkable about the disc. I can,
though, give it a 3.5 out of 5 on my
Happy Monkey scale. Availability on
this one is sorta limited; check out
http://www.popsweatshop.com for
more details.

Next we come to the third release by
Adam Duritz and the boys of
Counting Crows, This Desert Life.
Sporting cover art "borrowed" from
the storybook The Day I Traded My

fmsmmmmrmamm

Father for Two Goldfish, Desert is
another dive into the somewhat tor-
tured, kinda whiny soul of frontman
Duritz. In the opening song,
"Hangin' Around," the tone of the
record is falsely set as a good party
record. With songs like "Mrs.
Potter's Lullaby" and "High Life,"
though, the true sound of a soul-
searching, yet ultimately life-affirm-
ing record shines through. Guys,
your girlfriend's gonna love this CD -

picking it up for them just may be a
good Valentine's move. Overall, the
CD is very strong throughout, but as
with most mellow CDs, it get a little
difficult to tell where one song ends
and the next begins. Still, it's good
enough to get a full 5/5 on the
Monkey scale.

Coming soon: more on upcoming
indie releases and where to find some

Yo-ho-ho and rum-based beverages

I am a hearty seafaring type of indi-
vidual, so recently I spent a week far-
ing around the sea aboard the largest
cruise ship in the world that has not
yet hit an iceberg. It is called the
Voyager, and it weighs 140,000 tons,
which is approximately the amount I
ate in desserts alone.

The Voyager sails out of Miami
every week canying 3,200 passen-
gers determined to relax or die trying.
The ship has (I am not making any of
this up) an ice-skating rink, a large
theater, a shopping mall, a rock-
climbing wall and a nine-hole minia-
ture golf course. We have come a
long way indeed from the days when
the Pilgrims crossed the Atlantic
aboard the Mayflower, which - hard
as it is to imagine today - had no skat-
ing rink and ONLY FOUR GOLF
HOLES,

While aboard the ship, we passen-
gers engaged in a wide range of tradi-
tional cruise-ship activities, including
eating breakfast, eating lunch, drink-
ing complex rum-based beverages
while lying on deck absorbing solar
radiation until we glowed like exit
signs, snacking some more, eating
dinner, eating more snacks and pass-
ing out face-down in the pate section
of the midnight buffet. Needless to
say I did not attempt to climb the rock

wall, which is good because the
resulting disaster would have made
for a chilling newspaper headline:

CRUISE SHIP EVACUATED AS
MAN FALLS, EXPLODES;

HUNDREDS SPATTERED BY
SEMIDIGESTED SHRIMP

The only stressful part of our ship-
board routine was looking at pho-
tographs of ourselves. When you're
on a cruise, photographers constantly
pop up and take pictures of you; they
put these on display in hopes that
you'll buy them as souvenirs. At
night, my wife and I would join the
throng of passengers looking through
the photos, hoping to find a nice flat-
tering shot of ourselves, and then
suddenly - YIKES - we'd be con-
fronted with this terrifying image of
two bloated, bright-red sluglike bod-
ies with OUR FACES. Jabba and
Mrs. Hutt go to sea!

When every passenger has attained
roughly the same body weight as a
Buick Riviera, the ship would stop at
a Caribbean island, and the passen-
gers would waddle ashore to experi-
ence the traditional local culture, by
which I mean shop for European jew-
elry and watches. I frankly don't
know why it makes economic sense
for a tourist from Montana to fly to
Miami, get on a ship and sail to

Jamaica for the purpose of purchas-

apparently it does, because shopping
is very important to cruise passen-
gers. If these -people ever get to Mars,
they WILL expect to find jewelry
stores.

The other thing you do when your
ship is in port is take guided tours to
Local Points of Interest. Under inter-
national law, every tour group must
include one tourist who has the IQ of
sod. In Jamaica, we toured a planta-
tion, and
our group
included a
woman
whose
brain oper-
ated on
some kind
of tape
delay, as
we see
from this
typical
exchange
between
her and our
guide:

GUJDE:
These are

banana plants, which produce
bananas. You can see the bananas
growing on these banana plants.

WOMAN: (in a loud voice): What
kind of plants are these?

GUIDE: Banana.

WOMAN: Huh! (To her husband:)
Frank, these are banana plants!

The woman repeated virtually
everything the guide said to Frank.
One day he will kill her with a
kitchen appliance.

But I am proud to say that the win-
ner of the award for Biggest Tourist
Dooms was: me. What happened
was, during the tour, a man demon-
strated how he could climb a coconut
tree using only a small rope made
from twisted banana fibers. When he
came down, he showed me the rope,
and I, out of politeness, pretended to

be interested
in it,

although in
fact it was,
basically, a
rope. The
man handed
it to me and
suggested I
might want
to "take it
home to the
kids." I
frankly
doubted that
any modern
Nintendo-
raised child
would be
thrilled by such a gift ("Look.
Timmy! A rope!"). But I pretended
to be grateful. Then the man told me
that such ropes USUALLY sell for
$15 (he did not say where) but he
would let it go for $10. And so,
unable to figure out how to escape, I
gave him $10. I imagine the other

Girl, Interrupted could have been a TV movie

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Due tn Angelina Jolie's
success at this years Golden
Globe Awards, her recent
film. Girl, Interrupted will
probably be seen by lots of
moviegoers who otherwise
wouldn't have given the
mo\ ie a chance.

. . . Interrupted, foi w hich
Jo lie took home the Best
Actress award, nicely show-
cases her talents and offers
her the opportunity to steal
the show. Otherwise,

...Interrupted is a modestly
entertaining film that, aside
from its big name stars,
could just have easily been a
made- tor- TV movie.

...Interrupted are interesting
enouiih, but since we learn

next to nothing about most depression. When Susanna's

of the supporting players, parents reach the end of

tional bond with them. After have any idea how to help

their trials and tribulations, mend that she check herself

Interrupted.

neeted to these ladies than hospital. Susanna takes

you did when the opening their advice and reluctantly

credits hit the screen. enters a world that's

Wynnona Ryder (who dou- stranger than any she's ever

hies as executive producer) previously known,

stars as Susanna Kaysen, a Susanna initially rejects

young writer struggling with the doctor's claims that she

has what's called a border
line personality disorder and
eventually succumbs to the
possibility that her problems
will never get better. Tom
between the guidance and
aid of Nurse Valerie
(Whoopie Goldberg) and
following the destructive
path of her volatile new
friend Lisa (Jolie), Susanna
is faced with a difficult
choice: should she try to
vanquish her dark side or
revel in the newfound free-
dom it brings'.'

Jolie's performance as
Lisa, a cold-hearted manipu-
lator whose motives are
never adequately explained,
is the highlight of the film.

Dangerously psychotic yet
heartbreakingly beautiful.
Jolie's maniacal Lisa is the
sole spark of Girl,
Interrupted. Goldberg lends
a quiet dignity to her role as
Nurse Valerie, proving that
the former star oi the Sister
Act series is a fine
actress., at least when she
isn't starring in crap like
Theodore Rex. Ryder is also
good as Susanna, although
I've noticed that these days
Wynonna's pixie-ish haircut
is making her look more and
more like a female Leonard
Nimov,

Girl. Interrupted might
not be one of my new
favorite films, but it's still
worth checking out, if onlv
to see a performance that
should establish Angelina
Jolie as one of Hollywood's
most intense new stars. It
that doesn't intrigue you,
hold off on ...Interrupted
until its video release, so
you can invite Wynnona
Ryder and all her loveable
psychopathic friends into
the privacy and warmth of
your own living room.

Clarion Call Staff Writer

So it's the fabled "new millennium."
We haven't got flying ears or space
stations, or cities on Mars or any of
that Sci-Fi crap. Buy hey. we still got
LOTS of great music kicking around,
more than enough to see us through
until we have a flying car or two.

First up is the maiden release from
Seattle's POP Sweatshop Records.
SPiV's By Definition. A new take on
old school guitar rock sound is
SPiV's trademark. On tracks such as
"Nibley View" and "'Dizzy Tizzy."
the guys rock in a way that makes
being a garage band almost fun again.

The high points of the album come
later, though, with a cover (and
spruce-up) of the Primus song "Make
the Best of It" and the ultra-short
"Bass Gets Me Laid." Although the
album is very g(*xl and, at points,
very funny, there is something a bit
unremarkable about the disc. I can.
though, give it a 3.5 out of 5 on my
1 lappy Monkey scale. Availability on
this one is sorta limited; check out
http./Avvvvv. popsvveatshop.com for
more details.

Next we come to the third release by
Adam Duntz and the boys of
Counting Crows, This Desert Life.
Sporting cover art "bono wed" from
the storvbook The Day I Traded Mv

Father for Two Goldfish, Desert is
another dive into the somewhat tor-
tured, kinda whiny soul of frontman
Duritz. In the opening song,
"Hangin' Around," the tone of the
record is falsely set as a good part)
record. With songs like "Mrs
Potter's Lullaby" and "High Life."
though, the true sound of a soul-
searching, yet ultimately life-affirm
ing record shines through. Gu
your .iiirlfriend's yonna love this CD

picking it up for them just may be a
gcxxl Valentine's move. Overall, the
CD is very strong thtoughout. but as
with most mellow CDs. it get a little
difficult to tell where one song ends
and the next Ivgins. Still, it's gixxl
enough to get a full 5/5 on the
Monkej scale.

Coming soon: more on upcoming
indie releases and where to find some

killer MP3s!

Yo-ho-ho and rum-based beverages

I am a hearty seafaring type o( indi-
vidual, so recently I sixnit a week far-
ing around the sea aboard the largest
cruise ship in the world that has not
vet hit an iceberg. Is is called the
Voyager, and it weighs 140,000 tons,
which is approximately the amount I
ate in desserts alone.

The Voyager sails out of Miami
every week carrying 3,200 passen-
gers determined to relax or die trying.
The ship has (I am not making any of
this up) an ice-skating rink, a large
theater, a shopping mall, a rock-
climbing wall and a nine-hole minia-
ture golf course. We have come a
long way indeed from the days when
the Pilgrims crossed the Atlantic
aboard the Mayflower, which - hard
■ i 't is to imagine today - had no skat-
ing rink and ONLY LOUR GOLF
HOLES.

While aboard the ship, we passen-
gers engaged in a wide range of tradi-
tional cruise-ship activities, including
eating breakfast, eating lunch, drink-
in;.' complex ruin-based beverages
while lying on deck absorbing solar
radiation until we glowed like exit
signs, snacking some more, eating
dinner, eating more snacks and pass-
ing out face-down in the pate section
r-\ the midnight buffet. Needless to
say 1 did not attempt to climb the rock

wall, which is good because the
resulting disaster would have made
for a chilling newspaper headline:

CRUISE SHIP EVACUATED AS
MAN FALLS, EXPLODES;

HUNDREDS SPATTERED BY
SEM1D1GESTED SHRIMP

The only stressful part of our ship-
board routine was kx>king at pho-
tographs of ourselves. When you're
on a cruise, photographers constantly
pop up and take pictures of you; they
put these on display in hopes that
you'll buy them as souvenirs. At
night, my wife and I would join the
throng of passengers looking through
the photos, hoping to find a nice flat
tering shot of ourselves, and then
suddenly - YIKES - we'd be con-
fronted with this terrifying image of
two bloated, bright-red slug! ike bod-
ies with OUR FACES. Jabba and
Mrs. Hutt go to sea!

When every passenger has attained
roughly the same body weight as a
Buick Riviera, the ship would stop at
a Caribbean island, and the passen-
gers would waddle ashore to experi-
ence the traditional local culture, by
which 1 mean shop for European jew-
elry and watches. I frankly don't
know why it makes economic sense
for a tourist from Montana to fly to
Miami, get on a ship and sail to

CU Swim teams make a big
splash at rival Allegheny

by J. P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

The Clarion Mens and Women's
swim teams were in action this past
weekend at Allegheny College in
Meadville.

The women turned in some good
performances. Melissa Baer won
two events. She captured the 200
meter freestyle with a time of
1:58.04. She then went on to win the
100 meter butterfly with a time of
59.58 to edge out Meloni Dipierto of
Allegheny.

Other winners on the women's side
were Nikki Diloretto. Diloretto won
the 200 individual medley by almost
three whole seconds posting a time
of 2: 14.28.

Shannon Cattoni won the women's
100 meter freestyle by only .18 over
Meghan Bush.

Megan Tracy won the 100 meter
back stroke in a time of 1 :02.20.

Rounding out the women's side
was April Johnson who won the 100
meter breast stroke in a time of
1:12.10 beating Carla More by .28
seconds.

On the diving side of things
Stephanie Sutton kept her winning
streak alive. She won both 1 meter
and 3 meter contests. Once again

like last week Sutton beat out fellow
teammate Amanda Earnest in both
events.

The men also competed at
Allegheny and they too were able to
manage a couple of first place spots.
Brian Monico captured the 1000
meter freestyle with a time of
10: 1 1 .50. Monico beat out his team-
mate Eric Dams. Another winner at
Allegheny was Brian Wallace.
Wallace won the 200 meter freestyle.

Dan Pierce continues to swim well
in the 50 meter freestyle. He won

The Clarion University men's
basketball team notched two
more victories last week. The
Eagles downed Slippery Rock
and Univerisity of Pittsburgh-
Johnstown. CU now stands at 13-
5 and holds a 4-1 mark in the
PSAC West.

On Wednesday, January 26, the
Eagles traveled to Slippery Rock
University, taking a 61-55 win.
Slippery Rock held the advantage
in the early going, thanks to poor
first half shooting (29% from the
field) by Clarion. SRU took its
largest lead of the game, 12
points, with 13:49 to play in the
first half. But a three pointer by
Aaron Epps started the Eagles
toward a comeback. By 4:40
Clarion was within four. The
teams went to the locker room
with SRU leading 33-27.

A layup by David Shearer with
14:56 to go knotted the game at
33-33. Shearer is averaging 15.7
points per game on the year to go
along with 9 rebounds a game.
After the Shearer bucket Slippery
Rock would not go up by more
than one for the remainder of the

game. Solid shooting from the
foul line sealed the win. Clarion
players hit their last nine free
throws to ice a 61-55 win.

Shearer led the way, putting in
15 points and nine rebounds.
Aaron Epps came off the bench to
contribute 14 points and three
boards. Guard Tamir Harbin who
averages 16.5 points per game,
usually the catalyst of the Eagles
offense, had a bad showing, going
one of ten from the floor.
Slippery Rock had two players
with double-doubles. Forwards
Jerome Davis and James
Richardson each had 1 1 rebounds.
Davis scored 21, and Richardson
put in 13 points.

On Saturday, January 29,
Clarion traveled to University of
Pittsburgh Johnstown. The 99-84
victory was a far cry from the
poor shooting performance at
Slippery Rock. Five players
scored in double-digits. Forward
Allen Stevens keyed the effort,
scoring 27. Stevens went 10 of
14 from the field and pulled down
11 rebounds. Stevens is averag-
ing 12.9 points and 5.9 boards per
contest.

for less than a minute. Clarion
knocked down five shots from the
arc to push their advantage to 50-
36 by the half. UPJ would narrow
the lead to six, but never really

Eagles snatched the 99-84 win.

CU women's team loses to nationally-ranked SRU 84-56

by Jonathan Shaffer
Clarion Call Staff Writer

A 36-12 deficit at halftime
proved to be too much for
Clarion University Women's bas-
ketball team as Slippery Rock
University defeated CU 84-56
Wednesday, Jan. 26, at Slippery

seventh straight defeat.

Division II East Region and
ranked 25th in the nation coming
into the contest. The loss was
CU's second in as many games
against ranked opponents and
dropped the Golden Eagles down
to 6-11, 0-5.

Becky Siembak led the Rock
with a game-high 20 points.
Anna Bell, Jenni Morrison and
Tracy Whitling scored 10 points,
and Whitling pulled down 10

start," CU coach Margaret "Gie"
Parsons said. "We tried to
regroup at halftime and came out
and had a fairly decent second
half. We just dug ourselves too
deep of a hole. We need to put 40
minutes of good basketball
together."

Slippery Rock (14-3, 3-1) was
ranked second in the NCAA

"Becky Siembak is a very
strong player," Parsons said.
"We were letting her get the ball
and she doesn't miss when she
has the ball inside. In the second
half, we quit letting the ball get
into her and she couldn't hurt us
as much.

We weren'tas physical with
Tracy Whitling as we wanted to

be early on. In the second half,
we got more physical and did a
better job on her. It just took us
too long to get started."

Miesha Henry led CU with 18
points, while Melissa Yearous
contributed 10 points and
boards.

The Rockets started the game
with a 4-0 run getting baskets
from Siembak and Jackie
Altneweg. The Golden Eagles
responded with a 7-2 run to give
them a 7-6 lead with 15:07 left.
Lay-ups by Tameka Washington
and Henry and a 3-pointer by
Yearous gave CU the early
advantage.

But that was the only lead CU
saw in the game, as Slippery
Rock went on a 23-0 run in a
span of 8:56. Six different play-
ers scored points in the run with
Morrison, Siembak, and Whitling
combining to score 16 points.

A 3-pointer by Julia Perkins
with 4:01 left gave the Rock a
29-7 lead. It was the last points
of the Slippery Rock run, as
Henry made a jumper with 3:43
left to make the score 29-9.

Henry's jumper was the first
points for CU in 11:24. The
Golden Eagles scored 43 seconds
later when Washington nailed a
three-pointer to help create a 5-0
run and make the game 29-12.

But SRU responded with a 7-0
run to end the first half. Field
goals by Altenweg and Siembak
and a trey from Shelbey
Wardman with seven seconds left
gave the Rock the 36-12 halftime
lead.

SRU shot 16-38 (42%) from the
field while CU shot only 5-24
(21%). The Rock outscored CU
30-5 in the final 12:57 of the half.

"Our offense feeds a lot off our
defense," Parsons said. "We did-
n't play very good defense in the
first half, and our offense was
even worse. We weren't starting
our offense at halfcourt, we
weren't penetrating and they
made us do things that we didn't
want to do. Basically, we were
forcing everything. It was a
coaching nightmare."

"We just got jump-started in the
second half and realized that we
could run with them. It just took
a half for us to realize that we
could run with them."

CU started the second half with
a 5-0 run, as Yearous scored all
five points. A three pointer by
Yearous made the score 36-17.

The score was 43-22 before
Slippery Rock went on an 8-0 run
in a span of 31 seconds. Three
points by Morrison and a three-
pointer by Altenweg helped the
Rock build a 51-22 lead with
15:35 left in the game.

CU responded with a 6-2 run.
Four points by Danielle Bemmis
and a jumper by Courtney
Willman made the score 53-28.

The Rockets answered back
with a 6-0 run in 54 seconds.
Three different players put in lay-
ups to make the score 59-28 with
11:57 remaining.

The Golden Eagles shot right
back, getting a 3-pointer by
Allison Stodart and two free
throws by Yearous to cut the

deficit to 59-33.

The Rock possessed the next
run of the game, this time getting
on an 8-0 streak. Four points by
Siembak in the run helped SRU
take a 67-33 lead. Slippery Rock
would build its lead up to 39
points with a 6-0 run, as three dif-
ferent players scored to make the
game 75-36.

The Golden Eagles would
outscore the Rock 20-9 from that
point on, putting together a 10-0
run in the process late in the con-
test.

Christina Werries started the
run by hitting a jumper with 2:43
left to make the score 80-45.
Henry then drained a 3-pointer
19 seconds later. After Stodart
made the first of two free throw
attempts, Henry converted a lay-
up with 1:39 left to make the
score 80-51. Two foul shots by
Werries 17 seconds later made
the score 80-52.

Bell stopped the run by making
two foul shots with one minute
left to play. But Stodart made a
3-pointer with 38 seconds left to
make the score 82-56. Slippery
Rock got a lay-up from Chris
Frederick at the buzzer to make
the final score 84-56.

The Rock outscored CU 48-44
in the second half. Slippery Rock
stole the ball 17 times and held a
44-40 advantage on the boards.

"The situation will come when
we put it all together, Parsons
said. "We are working hard in
practice and we have been prac-
ticing well. It is just a matter of
time."

Freshman breaks school record at PSU

by Meghan Pavuk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion men and women's
track teams began their indoor
seasons this past Saturday. A
select few competed at Penn
State, however the majority of
the team attended the Slippery
Rock University's Invitational.

Coach Pat Mooney commented
on each meet,"I was satisfied
with the quality of our team at
each meet. We had a great begin-
ning, and the results make me
anticipate another competitive
season."

At Penn State, Clarion's team
consisted of Lisa Hamrick who
competes in the pole vault, Heidi
Shellgreen (shot put), Tori Watt
(60 meters), Dave Clark (60

meter long jump), and John
Dellich (60 meter high hurdles).
Shellgren also is an excellent per-
former in the javelin. She is
Clarion's record holder in that
event with a distance of 104'. The
meet had several Division I
schools attending. All of

Clarion's athletes had notable
performances.

The highlight of the meet was
freshman, Dave Clark's long
jump. Clark's first meet in a
Clarion uniform turned out to be
a record breaker as he jumped 23'
1/2". The previous school record
of 23' was set in 1981.

The results from Slippery

Rock's Invitational show Clarion

frequently appearing in the top

three.

The women placed in a number

of events. Finishing first in the
1500 meter was Maureen Long
with a time of 5:17. Long next
closest competitor finished with a
time of 5:29.40. Elissa Till (pole
vault 8'6"), Kristie Shoemaker
(long jump 16' 1 3/4), and Leah
Fennell (triple jump 34') all cap-
tured second in their events.
Leah Fennell also took a third
place in the long jump with a leap
of 15 '4. Kristie Shoemaker also
competed in the triple jump and
took home third with a leap of
(33' 1 3/4).

Notable performances should
also be given to Allison Ochs
who competed in the long
jump,Kara Emrich in the shot put
and Cheryl Sorice in the 55 meter
dash.

On the men's side, top three

places were also earned. Taking
first in the high jump was Tony
Morrow. Morrow jumped over
the bar at 6"2.

In the 1500 meter, Jerry Smith
took second with a time of 4:29.
Nick Cucunato placed second in
both the 200 meter (23.61) and
the 55 meter (6.80). Zac
Lendyak (400 m 58.16) and Todd
Gilbert (triple jump 41'3) each
finished second. Jason Tubbs (55
m hurdles), Justin Wise (pole
vault), John Krul (shot put), and
Todd Gilbert (long jump) also
earned respectable finishes.

Next week, the squads will
once again head in separate
directions. Some will return to
Penn State and others will make
their way back to Slippery Rock.

Yearous leads the way
for the CU women

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

In a year of turmoil, Melissa
Yearous has weathered the storm
to put up some consistent num-
bers. The CU women's team has
been haunted all season long
with their loss of C.J. Lantz.
Lantz led the team to a quick 3-0
start. Lantz then went down
with a season ending knee injury.
Since then the CU women
have fallen to 3-12 in their last
fifteen.

But through the difficult year,
Yearous has stepped up her
game. This junior from West
Branch, Iowa has been the bright
spot. She has been able to rotate
between the two and three spots.
This has enabled Yearous to util-
itze a dangerous three point shot.

"I like to work on the three
pointer just so defenders will
have to play me out there," said
Yearous

Yearous is hitting 29 percent of
her three point field goals this
year. To go along with her
excellent shooting from the out-
side arc, Yearous is leading the
CU women in three offensive
categories.

She is leading the team in
scoring with 13.5 points per
game. This is a six point rise

from her sophomore year. This
included a spectacular 32 point
effort earlier this year. Yearous
is shooting 43 percent from the
field which also is a rise from a
year ago.

"I would have to say that I love
driving to the basket. This is
where I seem to do well," said
Yearous

Yearous is also stepping up on
the glass. She is grabbing 6.1
rebounds per game which leads
the team. The 5-11 junior,
Yearous has rounded out her
offensive package avearging 1.8
assists per game.

But Yearous continues to have
a major impact on the defensive
end. She is averaging three
steals a game. To give you an
idea, last year she had 46 steals
the whole year. To this point in
the season she has eclipsed that
mark with 48.

Yearous came to Clarion via
West Branch, Iowa.

"I just liked Clarion. I enjoyed
the small town atmosphere that it
had to give. Also the coaching
staff had a very postive outlook
on things," said Yearous of
Clarion.

Yearous and the rest of the
Lady Golden Eagles have eight
games remaining on which to
build.

Class withdrawals limited to five

by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion University Dean's
Council has issued a policy
change restricting the number of
class withdrawals to five for the
duration of each student's college
career.

The change, which became
effective August 30, 1999, has
already been used at Bloomsburg
University and Indiana
University of Pennsylvania.

University Registrar Douglas
Bills said the number five was
chosen because most students

withdrew from five or less class-
es during their stay at Clarion.

Students, who already had five
withdrawals when this policy
was enacted, will not be affected
by this change. Also, withdraw-
ing from the university does not
count toward this policy.

The Dean's Council and the
Registrars office have sent out e-
mails informing students of this
new change. The withdrawal
form and instructions have been
changed to fit the new policy.

Advisors were given instruc-
tions to assist students in com-
pleting the new withdrawal

forms and following its policy.

Bills said the new policy
change was put into effect after
the number of withdrawals began
to increase. Bills reported that
there were up to 1,200 with-
drawals a semester.

The long-term goals of this pol-
icy change are to salvage seats in
classes and to make sure students
will see their advisors on a regu-
lar basis.

drop/add period.

"We want to make sure we are
utilizing our resources the best
we can," Bills said. Bills also
said that students should meet
with advisors on a regular basis
with an eye on the ultimate goal
of graduation.

Students should frequently read
their e-mail and review their
degree audit with their advisor.
Advisors are now informed about
the change and they have access
to a new screen on their comput-
ers which provides accurate
withdrawal information.

Bills said the number of with-
drawals directly affects how long
students stay at Clarion. He also
said the decision of future
employers is affected by with-
drawals, therefore, it is not a
good idea for students to with-
draw frequently.

"Students should put more
careful planning into scheduling
and think more seriously when
they withdraw from classes, said
Bills.

More withdrawal information
is available with all advisors or at
the Registrar's office.

Game shew popularity; what's
the real reason behind the hype?

Games show like "Who Wants to be a
Millionaire?", "Greed", and "Twenty One" may
knock the "Price is Right" out of the number one
game show position it has held for virtually, well,
ever.

What is the real reason behind these shows' popu-
larity?

Sure, the shows may be entertaining. With all the
hype, the funky music, and the weird lighting, how
couldn't that catch your attention?

Many people who try out for the shows, why is it
that regular people never seem to win? When the
first man won the $1,000,000 prize on Millionaire,
his questions were much easier than anyone else's.
Was it because they were scared of the tax agent?
But then the man with five children who worked at
a grocery store had to settle for $64,000 because his
questions were out of this world. Hype or populari-
ty? You decide.

Why don't the sponsors who donate the money to
these shows donate their money to worthwhile caus-
es that will legitimately help the people of the
world?

And, now the bandwagon effect is on the way.
More shows seem to be popping up on every chan-
nel. And, here's the new one: "Who wants to
MARRY a millionaire?" Get outta here. That's as
bad as a mail order bride.

Many people try out for the show. Few will make
it to the final round. Even fewer will win.
"Millionaire" has been on for 6 months and there
have only been two winners of the $1,000,000 prize.

We're not psyched about the false hype.

And, yes, this is our final answer.

Your Views

Another plea for Elian's freedom

Dear Editor,

Your editorial attempt to deal with the future of
Elian Gonzalez was a disaster based, as it was, on
almost a complete lack of information, misinforma-
tion and an absence of relative background.

Every columnist, editorial and letter-to-the editor in
the area separated common sense and the facts from
the narrow one-sided positions of the Cuban exile
community in southern Florida and the politicians
who are more concerned with the votes they can reap
from that same area. You could not manage to do the
same.

Why, how or should "Cuban officials take (not
"bring") him home? He is technically in the control
of the Immigration and Natrulization Service,
although that is under challenge in the courts.

If we are "the land of the free" why are we holding
this innocent helpless child? His father has legal cus-
tody. It is hardly an exaggeration to maintain that the
boy had been kidnapped and is being held prisoner
by those who are more concerned with making polit-
ical hay here in this country and winning a propa-
ganda victory over Fidel Castro.

The neutral, objective and humanely concerned
National Council of Churches conducted a thorough

investigation in Cuba and found NO "instances of
potential abuse" as you put it. The exile community
goes to great length to color every face that might aid
their selfish purposes.

The grandmothers did not come to the US for
national TV. They were, however, literally hounded
by the media at every step. Nor was it "tacky". They
were concerned for their grandchild and came to sup-
port the case for his return to family and homeland.
They stayed for more than the "two days" you
claimed. Nor did they leave him behind. He was in
the LEGAL CONTROL OF THE INS AND THE
COURTS.

Asking "What does little Elian want" was asinine
and absurd. The concept that a mere six year old.
missing from all he ever knew, lacking any aware-
ness of the many complicated elements that even
intelligent, unemotional and experienced adults
could sensibly consider, is an insult to common
sense.

Then too, you obviously failed to consider that this
unfortunate child is under the total control of his very
distant relatives (none of whom he ever saw previ-

"The battleground of

Cuban freedom is not

in a Florida court"

John C. Crawford

Fathers and Sons, Part II

This is nothing less than an
election-year power game. With
hispanics now the third largest
electorate, by race, courting their
votes is critical, especially in
states like Florida. In the balance
of the 2000 election is control of
Congress. Additionally, Florida is
a powerful state in the electoral
college. The Republicans are
hard-pressed to maintain control
of both houses, and are making a
serious bid to hold the House of
Representatives, and perhaps to
retake the White House. Of
course, the Florida Democrats
don't want to be left out, either.
Appeals to local electorates, like
the southern Florida Cuban exile
populations, are the modus
operandi of the 2000 election.
Never mind that politicians can-
not deliver on promises to keep
Elian Gonzalez in the United
State's. It's not their fault — and
in the minds of the electorate that
is all that matters.

Politics makes strange bed-
fellows. And, it must be admitted,
the husbanding of an immigrant
exile community to the political
party most noted for wanting
tighter immigration laws is an
example. Perhaps it demonstrates
just how cheaply politicians will
sell themselves. But, the elec-
torate seems to whore out for an

even cheaper price. After all, an
exile community becoming an
electorate in a country to which
they do not swear allegiance is
pretty cheap.

Perhaps the Cuban exiles
need to take a look at the flag
overhead before they go to the
polls. If they feel so passionately
about their Cuba, perhaps they
need to move to a place where a
Cuban flag flies. The battleground
of Cuban freedom is not in a
Florida court. Fidel Castro under-
stood such things, and that is why
he is the recognized head of the
Cuban government. But, then
again, weren't the exiles' politics
the precipitating cause of the
Cuban Revolution four decades
ago?

For a half-century prior to the
Revolution in Cuba, the United
States supported one of the most
oppressive regimes in the western
hemisphere. The US has support-
ed the overthrow of democratical-
ly-elected communist govern-
ments in Guatemala and Chile. In
Colombia, the drug war was never
anything more than a legitimate
front for anti-Communist efforts.
Those communist rebels are today
only thirty miles from the capital
of Bogota. US-backed govern-
ments throughout Latin America

Editorial

"But what's sad is that I
know I can H possibly

keep in touch with ail of

them forever* and that

Fit never see some of

them again J

Greg Brewer, Advertising'Design

For everybody who is sick of
reading those same old editorials
written by a graduating senior,
about what Clarion has meant to
them, here's another one. But
this editorial isn't just about what
Clarion has meant to me. It's
about what Clarion has done for
me and how my life has changed
because of it.

Four and a half years ago I
came to this campus a mild-man-
nered freshman in an unfamiliar
territory. You could say that I am
a shy person. It usually takes me
a while to warm up to people and
feel comfortable around them,
and as for women, well, I'm pret-
ty far from being a Casanova. In
fact it seems like the more attract-
ed I am to a woman, the more
nervous and less able I become to
talk to her. So it was hard to
meet new friends, and if it wasn't
for a good friend from high
school. I would have been really
lonely that first year.

After we had already planned to
room together the next year, my
friend dropped out of school.
Which, at first, seemed really bad
but turned out to be better for me
anyway. I ended up becoming

reaiiy good friends with some
pretty cool guys in my dorm, and
aside from having a couple of
strange roommates and realizing
I was in the wrong major
teventswere doing OK for me. I
started meeting a lot of people
and having a lot of fun. And then
came my first apartment. Now
the dorm was good for those first
two or three years, but by my
fourth year in the dorm I would
have done anything to get out. So
last semester I finally moved off
campus, and even though it's
only been for my fifth and final
year, has been awesome. I love
having an apartment. It's great to
have your own place to live with
no rules and, most importantly,
no fire drills. It's given me the
chance to meet many great new
people.

I've met a lot of great friends
in my years here at Clarion.
People who I will never forget,
and I hope that I will never lose
touch with. But what's sad is that
I know I can't possibly keep in
touch with all of them forever,
and that I'll never see some of
them again. Friends come and

Commentary

by Keith Gwillim
Lifestyles Ed.

"I've been forcing myself not to
forget just to feel worse; however
I look it's clear to see that I love
you more than you love me."

- Bernard Sumner, "Getting
Away With It"

Okay, I need to have a little tete-
a-tete with my fellow unattached
brothers and sisters. So all of you
Shiny Happy People just stop
reading right now - that's right,
you heard me! Get back on your
pink Magical Mystery bus and
zoom on down the road to the
next cheap hotel with a heart-
shaped hot tub. Why? Because
(and I hope the musical gods for-
give me for altering James
Brown) I'm single, I'm proud,
and I'll say it loud!! Amen!

Alright. Now that we've weed-
ed out all that Aphrodite hath
smiled upon, I can get down to
business. Has it occurred to any-
one else that Valentine's Day is
the most elitist 24 hours under the
sun? Anyone who is without a
partner is shunned like a leper into
exile to eat stale chocolates and

watch Friends reruns ("Hey, how
you doo-in?").

I can't tell you how many times
I've had vivid dreams of stoning
that dorky "Mini-Me of Amour,"
Cupid, to death with those foul-
tasting sugar hearts. You know
the ones I'm talking about; the
kind that have sappy sentiments
on them like "Be Mine,"
"Sweetie-Pie," or "Thanks For
The Itchy Veneral Disease."

But all cherub-execution fan-
tasies aside, we need to rebel
against this "holiday." Now, as I
see it, we have several options. 1)
We could have a giant orgy. What
better way to spit in the face of all
couples by forming the largest
relationship ever? Then again, the
logistics of this are quite daunting
(where will we find a place big
enough?). Plus, Linda Tripp is
single, so she might be there, and
you might catch something
Madonna has anyway. So that
one bites the dust.

2) We could all dress in black

Elian should be sent

Vanishing! Valentines Day through the eyes of a single
college student, from Page 4.

Dear Editor,

Why is it that virtually all
Haitian refugees, including chil-
dren, are returned to Haiti by the
Coast Guard, while many Cuban
refugees are allowed to stay in the
United States? The conditions of
life for children in Haiti are much
worse than in Cuba. Children
work in sweatshops for U.S. cor-
porations like Disney in Haiti, and
there is no free health care and
education as there is in Cuba.
Cuba is a better environment for
children, even with the U.S.
embargo, than is Haiti. If Elian
Gonzalez had been one of the
thousands of Haitian chldren risk-
ing their lives to flee that island,
the story would have been com-
pletely ignored by the U.S. media.
A similar thing happened in the
1980's, when Nicaraguan refugees

were accepted into the United
States, while Guatemalan and El
Salvadoran refugees were sent
back to the brutal governments in
those countries, often to a certain
death.

The determining factor is
whether the people are fleeing a
socialist or a capitalist country.
The overriding concern of U.S.
foreign policy is the preservation
of capitalism and the opening up
of all countries to U.S. corporate
domination.

The intense controversy over
little Elain Gonzalez is entirely
political. The Cuban exile com-
munity in Florida is utilizing the
existing antagonism toward Cuba
by the U.S. government to further
their own ends. Many of these
exiles were landowners or owners
of other capital property in Cuba,

who lost that property when Cuba
went socialist- just as the mafia
lost their casinos and prostitution
houses. Some of these Cuban
exiles have a history of terrorism.
On October 6, 1976, they bombed
a Cubana airlines plane killing all
73 people on board, and there
have been many other terrorist
acts.

This little boy has suffered
enough with the loss at sea of his
mother and now the continuing
debate over which country he
should call home. If these U.S.
politicians, who constantly talk of
"family values," really believes in
them, Elian Gonzalez should be
sent back to his father and grand-
parents in Cuba!

Sincerely,

Gary Sudborough

Sophomore Dain Stein an arts and science major recently had an essay

cloaks, have a karaoke party to old Cure records, and then lobotomize
ourselves en masse by watching the last 5 minutes of Sixteen Candles
over and over and over ("Make a wish, Sam". ..vrrt... "Make a wish,
Sam"...vrrt...). But there are problems here, too. First, "Boys Don't
Cry" can get really annoying after a while. Plus, it'll exclude all the
ladies out there. Second, who wants to keep getting up to rewind the
video? And last, that crappy Stray Cats song at the end of the film might
kill us before our brains can turn to warm oatmeal. Suicide is not the
answer.

But there is always option 3). We could realize that Valentine's Day
doesn't have to be just about love for a significant other. We could all
join hands in celebration of ourselves and our ability to mend out shat-
tered hearts; of a world that keeps on spinning, grass that keeps on
growing, and a God that keeps on loving. A celestial chorus of heaven-
ly harmony all singing Sting's "Brand New Day" while our hearts over-
flow with a satisfaction that can't be found in the bottom of a hot tub or
box of chocolates.

Unless, of course, the Friends episode where Phoebe sings "Smelly
Cat" is on. That's just too damn funny.

have been fascist puppets meant only to protect American money interests. And we are so pompous and filled
with hubris as to assume we have the answers for Cuba?

But, as any propagandist will tell you, this is about the boy. This has nothing to do with Elian Gonzalez.
This has nothing to do with the law. This is a brazen propaganda effort with only one goal. The United States
intends, in the aftermath of the Cold War, to consolidate its gains. A custody battle is just less blood-stained
than the usual American method of exerting geopolitical power in the western hemisphere. Always remember:
the United States knows the responsible thing to do.

Cuban communism is a reminder of how insidious American foreign policy truly is. That is why Elian
Gonzalez must be returned to Cuba. At some point American tyranny in the western hemisphere must end.
Converting from bloody guerrilla wars to decade-long court battles does not count.

answer for him.

The Derrick wisely suggested in an editorial that "This should be a
simple case of deciding what is right for Elian. Period. Since no one on
either side is claiming that Juan Miguel Gonzalez isn't a good father, all
other arguments become moot. Send Elian home to his father, where he
belongs."

Clarion Call

# Assistant News Editor^ <

President Diane Reinhard alert-
ed Faculty Senate at their
Monday, February 7, meeting to
the fact that the university does
not currently have a sprinkler sys-
tem in the dorms.

Reinhard did outline the fire
safety features the university does
have:

*A11 residence halls have electric
powered smoke detectors
*Campbell Hall received a fire
detection system within the last
year

*Fire drills are conducted on a
monthly basis in each dorm
*Public Safety , the local fire
department, Clarion Hospital,
Clarion Borough Police
Department and medivac regular-

ly conduct fire response drills
"•Located on each dorm floor of
every residence hall is a fire hose
* Fire extinguishers are also locat-
ed on every floor and are checked
monthly by student workers
*Becht Hall contains a fire extin-
guisher in every room because the
buildings frame is made of wood
♦Where false alarms have
ocurred, a plastic cover has been
added to each alarm. The plastic
cover must be lifted in order to
activate the alarm. When the
cover is lifted, a siren notifies peo-
ple that someone is about to pull
the alarm

♦Resident Directors and Resident
Assistants must take fire safety
training every year

President Reinhard stressed that
false alarms are taken seriously
and investigated by Public Safety

Reinhard also disspelled a rumor

Account descriptions revised

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor^

At the fifteenth Student Senate
meeting of the year, Treasurer
Brian Sowa made a motion to
approve the descriptions of the
four accounts held by the CSA.

The descriptions clarified any
questions regarding amount that
could be taken from the acounts,
how often, and what the purpose
was for each account.

Treasurer Sowa also made a
motion to approve a new comput-
er purchasing policy that limited
the purchase of a computer to one
every five years unless approved
by the Appropriations Committee.

President Leslie Suhr announced
that members of the Student
Senate Executive Committee
were invited to attend a Strategic
Planning meeting as part of a con-
tinuing series on the Round Table

Discussions. The purpose of the
meeting is to outline future plans
of the university.

Members of the Senate will also
particpate in a discussion with
evaluators from the Middle States
Evaluation Committee. The com-
mittee reviews standards of the
University every five years and
this is an important part of the
accreditation process.

President Suhr also announced
that the CSA Board of Directors
put out a search for a new student
member and three candidates will
be interviewed for the position.

Students lose respect for profs, and classmates

by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Have you noticed your fellow
classmates being particularly dis-
respectful toward professors late-
ly?

According to Sherri Richards, a
student at the University of North
Dakota, "Times have changed,
and I feel students' attitudes have
changed for the worse right along
with them."

This seems to be the case in
many colleges across the United
States. Donna Halper, a journal-
ism instructor at Emerson College
said, "Civility and courtesy are
not valued the way they once
were." One professor at Virginia
Tech complains about a student
using profanities and throwing a
fit simply because she could not
return a textbook.

A sociology professor at the
University of Wisconsin, Jane
Piliavin, does not appreciate stu-
dents calling her by her first

name. Halper has a major prob-
lem with students who bring cell
phones to class and forget to turn
off the ringer. Other problems
that have been reported include
students eating in class, those
who do not pay attention and fall
asleep, and ones who talk to
friends, distracting others.

So, how do Clarion University
students measure up? Overall,
behavior does not seem to be a
major problem. According to Dr.
Kristin Marshall, Speech
Communication and Theatre
instructor, "It varies from class to
class."

Dr. Scott Kuehn,
Communication professor,

agrees. He said, "There really is
not more crudeness today. Over
time, there are just different peo-
ple."

Both of these professors can
remember teaching during times
when there were student protests
and racial issues.

After making it through these

times, students' behavior today
could be considered mild. That's
not to say that all professors
around here feel the same way.

Dr. Allan Larson,
Communication instructor, has
noticed that "Students don't mind
getting up in the middle of class-
es to get water." In addition, he
said that more students than
before are coming to class late.
As long as students are not dis-
turbing their classmates, though,
this behavior does not really both-
er him.

However, other professors men-
tioned this same issue of exces-
sive tardiness.

One Clarion instructor has
noticed the same couple constant-
ly reporting to class 15-20 min-
utes late. Also, some of those
who do make it to class simply do
not participate.

Ms. Mary Beth Curry,
Communication instructor, said,
"I have some students who use
profanity in my classes, but it

doesn't bother me. The only rea-
son I dislike it is because it may
offend other students in the
class."

"In my classes, I don't recall
hearing anybody using any vulgar
language," said Dave Snyder,
Junior, Elementary

Education/Library Science major.
Another student, Wendy Kengor,
a sophomore majoring in
Elementary Education with a
minor in CIS, remembers her first
day of her first semester here.

"The professor was about to
start and someone's cell phone
rang. ..The whole class just started
to laugh," she said. Naturally, the
professor told his students no
more cell phopes in class.

Although disrespect is not. a
major issue at Clarion, those pro-
fessors who have noticed it won-
der why.

One instructor says he has
noticed misbehavior, especially in
his freshmen classes. Obviously,
it is not all freshmen, but some

just need to work on modifying
their high school behavior.

Disrespect can also be blamed
on the lack of sleep some college
students are getting. The result is
either skipping class altogether or
showing up late and drifting off.

Alan Deardorff, an economics
professor at the University of
Michigan, blames disrespect on
the high cost of tuition today. He
said, "...They [students] feel more
like customers and less like stu-
dents who ought to look up to
us...

In addition, students at larger
schools, or even universities like
Clarion, that have some auditori-
um-size classes, find safety in
numbers when acting up.

As far as profane language goes,
Stephanie Crane, a sophomore
majoring in Special Education
with a minor in Psychology, sums
it up. She said, "I think there's a
fine line between free speech and
respect, and it's hard to tell where
that line is."

Board of Directors brews about artwork

by Jeff A. Say
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief

The Clarion Students'
Association (CSA) Board of
Directors met Tuesday, February
8, to discuss the lack of artwork in
the new coffee shop in Gemmell.

It was discussed that the Board
would ask student artists to adorn
the walls with their works, but
was informed that some students
were not interested unless their
works were purchased.

The Board had originally asked
for their works as a donation to
the coffee shop. It was mentioned
that the pieces, while being on
display, would be for sale, just as
they are at Michelle's Cafe and
the Marwick-Boyd Gallery.

In new business, the Board dis-
cussed where the profits of the
coffee shop will go. It was noted
that CSA will not see any profits
from the coffee shop because
there is no contract at this time.
An idea for a contract organiza-
tion was presented so that funds
originally placed by the CSA in
the beginning of the venture will
be recouped.

In other Board news, member
Kent O'Neil e-mailed the Board
stating that he has scheduling con-
flicts with some of the meeting
times.

It was a concern if O'Neil
should be removed from the
Board since he is not able to
attend most meetings. O'Neil

said in his statement that he would
like to remain a member but wants
to do what is best for the Board.

Applications for the student
position on the Board of Directors
were sent out and interviews for
the position will be held later this
week. There are currently three
candidates for the position.

Members of the Board also met
with the operator of the bookstore,
Ed Biertempfel, to discuss pur-

mal leasing contract, however one
will be developed later this year.

Another concern of the Board
was there is no formal job descrip-
tion for the bookstore manager.

According to CSA Board mem-
ber Leslie Suhr, "If more students
turn to the internet for purchase of
their books the book store will be
losing its main source of revenue
and will have to struggle to keep a
high profit."

pany, announced today a special Valentines day offer to

Fast cash at the sperm bank

Courtesy of TMS Campus

To get some extra dollars thous-
nds of male college students must
look beyond parents, employment,
and the stock market. They often
end up in a sperm bank instead,
holding porn magazines and a
cup.

Since 1970, sperm banks have
become a lucrative business that
caters, in particular, to college stu-
dents. The average age of a donor
is 21, and certain locations offer
$100 for a sample. In 1993, the
frozen sperm business made $164
million. One company, California

Cyrobank, reported that 90 per-
cent of its donors are in college.

With more working women
expected to desire a child but not a
father, the already heavy demand
on top-quality sperm is expected
to grow. In 1997, 250,000 chil-
dren were conceived through arti-
ficial insemintion.

But apparently not all sperm is
created equal. The sperm banks -
more than 150 in the United States
-cluster around elite universities
such as Harvard and the
University of California at
Berkley. Parents can be picky,
after all.

Anti-hazing is again a concern for greeks

by Joe Carfley
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Rush starts again for social and
honorary sororities and Diana
Anderson, Panehelic Council
Advisor since 1992, is working to
get the message of hazing out.

Her message took her to the
Association of Fraternity
Advisors (AFA) conference in
Denver, CO. She presented her
workshop, "Let's Stop the Pain:
An Anti-Hazing Workshop" to
the members of the AFA.

Anderson's workshop is pre-
sented to the sororities and some
of the honorary fraternities on
campus.

The Clarion Call recently
asked her a number of questions
regarding hazing and how cases
of hazing is handled in Clarion
University's sororities and hon-

orary fraternities.

When asked about what con-
stitues hazing, she stated that
anyone can come into her office
and receive a handout on the sub-
ject. She also pointed out that
Clarion University's handbook
has the anit-hazing law in it.

She talked about the effective-
ness of the workshop.

"People respond well to the
workshop and I been have offered
by a number of sororities and fra-
ternities to perform the workshop
at their National Conferences."

Anderson was then asked about
the decrease in sororities from
23% of the women on campus in
1991 to a study decline to 12% in
1999, she responded by saying it
might be due to the way charters
used to be run. In the past, soror-
ities were allowed to count
women that had graduated but

had internships, student teachers
and other graduate students as
members. Now, it has been
changed that those women are
alumni and can not be counted as
charted members. The elimina-
tion of the sororities of Alpha
Sigma Alpha and Kappa Tau
Theta from the campus, also
added to the decline.

Anderson responded to ques-
tions about any possible sorori-
ties or honorary fraternities that
have violated the hazing laws or
are under investigation by her
department .

"We had one incident regarding
a sorority that is currently under
investigation by their own
National office, and Alpha Sigma
Alpha has been eliminated
because of an incident involving
alcohol. But for the most part, I
am pleased with the sororities

Harvard scholar address CU

by John Crawford
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Dr. William Julius Wilson
addressed Clarion University stu-
dents and faculty at Hart Chapel
on Tuesday, February 8, as part of
the University's Martin Luther
King Jr. series of presenters.

Wilson is a full professor at
Harvard University, and a nation-
ally renowned sociologist.
Wilson's work, including his
recently published Bridge Over
the Racial Divide, focuses upon
the growing racial gap that has
emerged from the modern econ-
my.

The King Series is sponsored by
the University in honor of
February's Black History Month.
Wilson's major contention is the
early 1990's created a new urban
poor. The time of the recession
left this predominately black com-
munity in the situation of being
both poor and unemployed. As
these effects have compounded,
education levels have deteriorat-
ed.

Lack of education has had the
reverberate effect of causing fur-
ther unemployment, by forcing a
large number of urban blacks out
of the developing modern work
force.

The compoundment of poverty
and lack of education has bred an
environment where the urban poor
are far less upwardly mobile than
in past eras. This trend has been
especially marked by a growth in
the number of poor who do not
attain even a low-paying job.

This has caused a breakdown not
only in the greater social structure,
but the lives of individuals within
the urban poor communities.

As the deterioration of the com-
munity, economically, and educa-
tionally, progressed during the
recession, many urban blacks
became labeled unemployable.

Wilson quoted one businessman
as saying, "You do not talk street
talk to the buying public." These
'negative employer attitudes,'
Wilson said, "do not encourage
economic solutions in a world
where job-readiness skills have

come to span a broader range of
personal attributes."

Wilson also pointed a finger at
the federal government. He took
issues with such pro-business
policies as the Federal Reserve's
practice of checking inflation with
interest rate hikes. This discour-
ages venture capitalism, especial-
ly in poor areas, and has been tra-
ditionally linked to a rise in unem-
ployment.

While attesting that analysts
have been wrong about much of
the new economy during the sec-
ond half of the 1990's, Wilson did
not waiver from this established
theory. Wilson went on to note
that the economic expansion of
the last eight years has begun to
remedy some of the problems in
America's decaying urban cen-
ters.

Wilson concluded by addressing
the need for renewed efforts to
bring the plight of the urban poor
to greater national attention. He
called for the formation of a
"multi-racial coalition" to bring
the needs of the poor to greater

and honorary fraternities that are
under me." Ms. Anderson's
favorable review of Greek Life
comes with a caution to honorary
fraternities that seem to be falling
through the cracks. "We have
some honorary fraternites acting
like social fraternities and there
seems to be no one keeping any
eye on them." A former Delta
Zeta, Ms. Anderson, believes that
Greek Life is like a business, but
should be fun. "Sororities and
fraternities should be run like a
business, when we first join they
should give you an itinerary of
what the organizations stands for
and what they expect you can
contribute to them."

Her goal for women in sorori-
ties is very simple, "If we give
one woman a good experience in
Greek Life, then we have done
our job."

Clarion student is finalist for distinguished acting scholarship

story courtesy of
University Relations

Kristie Leigh Belles was a finalist
for the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship
at the recent Kennedy
Center/American College Theatre
Region II Festival held at Clarion
University of Pennsylvania.

Belles, a senior musical theatre and
secondary education communication
arts major, did a monologue of
"Betty's Summer Vacation" by
Christopher Durang; and with her
partner, Alex Thompson of New
Kensington, a scene of "Reckless" by
Craig Lucas. She is a daughter of
Gloria Patterson of New Bethlehem
and Gary Belles of Kittanning, and is
a graduate of Kittanning High School.
This is the third consecutive year
that Belles competed in the Ryan
Acting Scholarship competition at the
Region II festival. Since 1972, the
Irene Ryan Foundation of Encino,
California, has awarded scholarships
to the outstanding student performers
at each regional festival. These schol-
arships are made possible by the gen-
erosity of the late Irene Ryan who is
best remembered for her portrayal of
the lovable and feisty Granny
Clampett in The Beverly Hillbillies.

Belles advanced further in the com-
petition each year. "It is strange," she
says. "The first year I didn't move
past the preliminary round. The sec-
ond year, I made it to the semifinals.
My goal this year was to reach the
finals. I saw the level of professional-
ism and talent in Region II at the com-

petitions and wanted to prove that I
could make it that far."

To reach that goal this year, Belles
changed her approach to the competi-
tion. "I selected my pieces in
November and decided to memorize
it first before working on the acting
portion," she says. "After the memo-
rization, I placed the acting value into
it. Those of us participating in the fes-
tival came back to campus a week

early for a mock competition. I
worked with Rob Bullington, assis-
tant professor of speech communica-
tion and theatre, and he helped pre-
pare me for this year's competition."
The new approach worked for
Belles and she advanced to the finals.
"It was extremely fun to act for my
peers," she says. 'There is no better
feeling than working before those
who appreciate what you are doing."
Over 700 people from Deleware,
Maryland, New York, New Jersey,

Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C.,
participated in the KC/ACTF Region
H festival. The KC/ACTF is a nation-
al theatre program involving 18,000
students from colleges and universi-
ties nationwide which has served as a
catalyst in improving the quality of
college theatre in the United States.

Although, she did not win the Ryan
Scholarship, Belles was pleased with
the opportunity to compete. "I didn't
feel out of place," she says. "My level
of professionalism matched everyone
else. I went back to what I am taught
at Clarion, professionalism and act-
ing. Professionalism is something I
take for granted, because every
rehearsal and show at Clarion is
approached in a professional manner.
For the acting, I went back to my act-
ing I and II classes for inspiration. We
were taught to be true to our character
whether it is for a class final or on the
main stage. An actor can never be
someone else. Some part of you is in
each role you perform and that is
what makes it believable for the audi-
ence."

While attending Clarion, Belles was
named an All- American Scholar and
to the National Dean's List. She has
had poetry published in the National
Library of Poetry's Anthology,
"Chasing the Wind." She served as:
the speech communication and the-
atre representative on the student
advisory council to the dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences; presi-
dent of the Clarion University
Council for Teachers of English and
Language Arts; treasurer of Alpha Psi
Omega, honorary theatre fraternity;

and is a member of Sigma Tau Delta
sorority, and the English Club.

Belles will graduate in December.
Her senior showcase role is coming
up February 16-19 when she acts as
the Baker's Wife in "Into the Woods."
Besides acting in the play, Belles
must complete an in-depth character
study of her role. This includes writ-
ing a paper about the part, from the
time she first read the lines through
the last performance.

Performances are at 8 p.m. in

Marwick-Boyd Auditorium. Acting
with her as the Baker will be her
fiance Chris Taylor, a senior educa-
tion communication/BFA acting
major, from Brookville. They plan a
July wedding. This is the first time
they will be acting opposite each
other in a Clarion production.

When she graduates, Belles will
seek a teaching job. "I want to teach
theatre in an arts school or start a high

school arts program," she says.

Surprisingly enough, though,
Courtney Cox and David Arquette
managed to carry the film.

STALKER: So was Dewey the killer
afterall?

CODY: I'm not telling. You'll have
to spring the $6 and see it for yourself.
Speaking of Dewey, though, I never
realized until now what a foul actor
David Arquette really is. Arquette's
combination of over and under-acting
give Scream 3 a much campier feel
than director Wes Craven probably
intended. Same goes for Parker Posey,
who gives a big, fat, "look at me" per-
formance as Jennifer Jolie, the actress
playing sleazy journalist Gail Weathers
in the fictional movie Stab 3.

STALKER: Any good cameos?

CODY: Tons. In fact, two of the
cameos are so g(xxl that I don't even
want to spoil them by giving out any
hints lliere are also brief appearances
by Jennie McCarthy, Heather
Matarazzo (best known tor her work
on Welcome to the DoUhouse, and
Liev Schrieber, who returns to the role
of Cotton Weary.

STALKER: Sounds pretty good. But
we still haven't had a chance to play
our little game.

CODY: Okay, okay, we'll play your
little game.

STALKER: First question. What
reclusive director is credited with tak-
ing the science fiction genre to new
artistic heights?

CODY: I dunno. George Lucas.
STALKER: Wrong, punk! The

STALKER: Stab 31 Whatever hap- answer is Stanley Kubnck! Now

CODY: Who knows? Who cares?

duction. Suddenly, someone starts

CODY: Kubrick, Kubnck... Wait a

REVIEW: 3 stars.

Ohio overrun with muskrats and poinsettias

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer

We have some potentially
important news for those of you
who have been harboring an urge
to eat poinsettias. This news
comes from an article in the Dec.
5, 1999 edition of the
Harrisburgh, Pa., Patriot-News,
sent in by alert reader Karen
Durkin. The article makes this
fascinating statement:

"Despite persistent rumors,
poinsettias are NOT poisonous.
Ohio State University testing has
found that a 50-pound child could
eat more than 500 poinsettia
bracts with no ill effects other
than possibly a sick stomach from
eating too much foliage."

The two questions that immedi-
ately come to mind are:

1. What is a "bract"?

2. Would "Bill and the Bracts"
be a good name for a rock band?

(Answers: 1. Part of a plant; 2.
No, but "The Foliage Eaters"
would.)

Another question is: How did
Ohio State University conduct this
research? Did researchers actual-
ly feed 500 poinsettia bracts to a
50-pound child? How? ("Eat you

bracts, Jason, or NO MORE
POKEMON CARDS FOR
YOU!") And does this experi-
ment really prove that poinsettias
are safe? We personally have seen
50-pound children eat a LOT of
things that would probably kill an
adult, such as "Fruit Roll-Ups,"
which we do not believe are fruit
at all. We believe they are the off-
spring of a biological mating
experiment involving Kool-Aid
and flypaper.

So our feeling is that you con-
sumers should resist the tempta-
tion to rush out and start wolfing
down poinsettias. Instead, you
should take the wise scientific
precaution of serving them to din-
ner guests ("Marge, try some of
this delicious brie-on-a-bract!")
and then watching the guests
closely for common symptoms of
death, such as not moving for sev-
eral days, or purchasing an
Oldsmobile.

But here's what really gets our
goat: While so-called

"researchers" at Ohio State
University were busily stuffing
poinsettias down the throat of an
innocent 50-pound child, a poten-
tially MUCH greater menace to
humanity was running loose in the

very same state (Ohio). We know
this because we have received,
from an anonymous source who
shall remain nameless, a newspa-
per article from the Oct. 29, 1999,
edition of The Youngstown, Ohio,
Vindicator, which bills itself - and
not with-
out reason
- as the
premier
newspaper
in the

Mahoning
Valley.
This arti-
cle, which
we are not
making up,
begins
with the
following
statement:
"WAR-
REN - The
possibility that radioactive
muskrats are lurking in the city
bothers Pierson 'Butch' Butcher
Jr."

The article states that Butcher,
an unsuccessful Republican can-
didate for the Warren City
Council, had said it was possible
that local muskrats were eating

Music Review

radioactive materials they found
on the grounds of a recently
demolished power plant. By way
of rebuttal, the story quotes the
mayor, Democrat Hank Angelo,
as stating: "There are no green,
glowing-eyed rats running the

streets of
Warren."

In profes-
sional jour-
nalism, the
first thing
we do

when we
need to
check out
this type of
story is try
to find out
what a

muskrat is.
The sum
total of our
knowledge
on this subject is the song
"Muskrat Love," performed by
The Captain and Tennille, both of
whom are "closely related to
voles." We have never heard of
"voles," and suspect that the ency-
clopedia is just kidding around.

Armed with this information, we
called Warren, Ohio, and spoke

with Pierson "Butch" Butcher Jr.,
who, it turns out, is not a shy per-
son. During a lengthy and wide-
ranging interview, he stated that
although there are muskrats run-
ning around Warren, and SOME-
BODY at a public meeting
expressed concern that they (the
muskrats) might be radioactive,
that person was not Pierson
"Butch" Butcher Jr.. Mr. Butcher
further stated that he had read an
article somewhere regarding
reports of radioactive deer in
Pennsylvania.

So to summarize the key find-
ings of our investigation:

1. There may or may not be
radioactive muskrats and/or deer
in Ohio and/or Pennsylvania.

2. Just in case, both of these
states should be evacuated imme-
diately.

3. Another good name for a
band would be "The Radioactive
Muskrats."

4. Speaking of musical groups,
if The Captain and Tennille ever
decide to try for a comeback, the
obvious song for them to do
would be "Vole Love."

5. In which case, please pass the

poinsettias.

Sex! Nightclubs!

Hollywood! More sex! Booze!
The funk, the soul - brother, you
better check it out! The
Wonderful Wizard of musical
pastiche, Beck the Great and
Terrible, has delivered a
pimped-out party record with
Midnight Vultures.

On Vultures, Beck harkens
back to a timeframe of funk and
disco decadence, where hipness
is measured by the size of your
bellbottoms and Steve Rubell
still puts nasty things up his
nose. Freaky analog synths and
moogs, "whaa-whaa" guitars,
and exuberant horn sections are
shaken, not stirred into a
smooth martini that slinks all
the way down to your a**,
which Beck urges you to "touch
if you qualify" in the oddball
"Get Real Paid."

Mr. Hansen sets the tone of
Vultures right off the bat with
"Sexx Laws." A terrific slice of
jaunty jivin', "Sexx Laws"

sounds like Al Green stranded
in the middle of Walton country,
with its down-home banjo inter-
lude weaving among the R&B
bassline and porno strutting ("I

want to defy the logic of all sex
laws; let the handcuffs slip off
your wrists...").

While the songwriting may
dip in places ("Broken Train"),
Beck libido never does, making
both "the lesbians and B-boys
scream..." and handing out
"hot-oil rubdowns" in his best
Prince posturing ("You keep on
sleeping through the poignant
(purple?) rain...").

Vultures also contains all-star

guests to help Beck rock the
house all night long. Guitarist
Johhny Marr, of The Smiths
fame, is featured on "Milk and
Honey," and vocalist Beth
Orton provides backing for him
on "Beautiful Way."

It all culminates in the album
closer "Debra," where Beck's
voice is so high I'd swear that
his family jewels were in a vice
during recording. "Debra" is a
wonderbread "Sexual Healing,"
with hilarious lines like "Girl, I
want to get with you. ..and your
sister."

Other album highlights are the
Kraftwerkian workout of "Get
Real Paid," the rap experimen-
tation of "Hollywood Freaks"
and the wanna-be 70s arena
rock of "Pressure Zone."
Midnight Vultures provides an
equal, but somehow more ful-
filling extension of 1996's
Odelay. Beck's crooning and
pleas for booty-wigglin' have
squeaked a 4 out of 5 stars from
me. Not only that, he's also the

Funkiest White Boy alive.

CU Men's basketball takes over first in the PSAC

by Jonathan Shaffer
Clarion Call Staff Writer

In the last three games prior to
facing California University , the
men's basketball team defeated
quality competition in Slippery
Rock and Indiana University of
(PA) and University of Pitt-
Johnstown.

Clarion can now add the
Vulcans to the list, as the Golden
Eagles defeated California 91-82
at Tippin Gymnasium Wednesday
February 2, to earn a first place tie
with the Vulcans atop the PSAC
West standings.

"It was a must win because of
the closeness and the parity in the
conference," Clarion coach Ron
Righter said. "You got to get this
game. This is a game you got to
get to keep your home floor."

Clarion (16-5 overall through
February 8) was ranked 10th in the
NCAA Division II East Region
going into the contest. The
Golden Eagles extended their
winning streak to six games.
California had its winning streak
snapped at eight games. The
Vulcans entered the game ranked
fourth in the East Region.

Tamir Harbin led Clarion with
23 points including 16 points in
the first half.

The Vulcans recieved 44 points
from their big men, as 6-9 center
Rah-Shun Roberts led California
with 24 points. 6-9 forward Seth
Martin contributed with 20.

California owned an early 4-2
lead before Clarion got the first
run of the game, taking off on an
11-2 run which included stretches
of 5-0 and 6-0, to take a 1 3-6 lead.
The run started at the 17:59
mark when Chris Kelley was
fouled attempting a three-point
shot. Kelley drained three foul
shots to make the score 5-4 in
favor of the Golden Eagles.

Clarion would return to the line
just 24 seconds later, as Allen
Stevens was fouled. Stevens put
down both of his free throws to

extend the lead to 7-4.

California's Melvin Myers
stopped the onslaught temporarily
with two free throws at 17:17.

But the Golden Eagles contin-
ued to roll, getting four straight
points form David Shearer and a
layup from Harbin.

Harbin's field goal made the
score 13-6 and prompted
California to use a timeout.

"It was nice to get off to a good
start," said Coach Righter.

The Vulcans responded to the
Clarion run by outscoring the
Golden Eagles 13-6 in the next
5:10. Six points from Martin in
that stretch helped California tie
the score at 19 with 10:05 remain-
ing.

Clarion, though, regained the
lead and held a six-point advan-
tage with 5:54 to go. Harbin
scored eight points to help the
Golden Eagles outscore
California 10-4 and gain a 29-23
edge.

The Golden Eagles were up by
four points at 37-33 before going
on a 7-0 run in the final 1:56 of
the half.

Rollie Smith started the run by
converting one of two free
throws. Clarion scored again
with 51 seconds remaining when
Mike Wetzel buried a three-point-
er to make the score 41-33. Then
with 10 seconds left, Harbin
gunned down a three-pointer of
his own to increase the lead to 11
points at 44-33 going into half-
time.

"We had a nice little run there
that I think opened up the
game,"Righter said. "We had
been struggling at the end of
halves in other games. But I think
we closed the half well."

The Golden Eagles held the
advantage on the boards in the
first half by grabbing 19
rebounds to Cal's 13. But Clarion
shot 66.7 percent from the free
throw line, as the Vulcans con-
verted on 83.3 percent of their
free shots.

Clarion also had foul trouble
going into the locker room.
Kelley, Shearer, and Stephen
Nesmith had two fouls each.

The fouling woes continued in
to the second half, as Kelley,
Nesmith and Stevens all had three
fouls by the 18:07 mark.

But despite the foul trouble, the
Golden Eagles were able to open
up a 15-point lead with 12:53 left.
Clarion led 63-48.

Clarion possessed a 13-point
lead at 67-54 when Shearer put in
a lay-up with 9:23 to go.

But Shearer picked up his fourth
foul just six seconds later.
Shearer became the second
Clarion player with four fouls, as
Stevens already had accumulated
four fouls.

Clarion was ahead 69-56 with
8:50 left before California went
on a 7-0 run. A trey by Myers
capped off the run, making the
score 69-63.

The Vulcans pulled to within
four at 71-67 with 6:05 left off a
dunk by Roberts.

But Clarion built the lead to
nine points with a 5-0 run. A
three-pointer by Smith and two
free throws by Stevens made the
score 76-67 with 5:14 left.

California answered back with a
5-0 run and made the score 76-72
with 3:59 on the clock before
Clarion took off on an 8-1 run.
Clarion now led 84-73.

Clarion was up 86-75 with 1 :49
to go before the Vulcans put
together a 7-1 run in a span of
1 :08. Robert scored four points in
the run to pull California to with-
in five points at 87-82 with 41
seconds left.

But Harbin ended any hope
California had left scoring the last
four points of the game. He hit
two free throws with 41 seconds
remaining and put home a dunk
with 17 seconds left to make the
final score 91-82.

"We controlled the tempo for 40
minutes, and that was crucial,"
Righter said. "The way we did it
was not just with our defense but
with our offense. When we didn't
have the fast break, we were able
to pull it out and execute."

All five starters scored in double
figure for Clarion. To go along
with Harbin's performance,
Shearer put up 17 points, and
Stevens added 15. Kelley did his
part by putting 13 points on the
board, as Smith registered 11.
"That is the key to our team

because we won 90 percent of our
games when we had five guys in
double figures," Righter said.
"You can't focus on one guy."

Clarion held a 32-27 edge on the
boards and hit seven three-point-
ers.

Meanwhile, California went
only 3-15 from behind the arc
much to the satisfaction of
Righter.

"I thought the key was that we
had to limit their three ball,"
Righter said. "We knew they
were as good as anyone in the
country inside. Our inside kids
battled and we used every foul we
had. They played great inside.
But we had to limit the three-ball
and that is what opens games up."

"We still have a long way to go.
We still have to work on the men-
tal part of the game. Physically,
these guys are there,"Rigther said.

Ctai^n Call Staff Writer

Clarion University's women's
basketball team absorbed two
rough losses against PSAC West
opponents California. Pan and
Shippensburg. but broke a nine-
game losing streak last Sunday

Golden Eagles now stand at 7-11
overall. The team has yet to notch
a win against a PSAC West oppo-
nent in seven tries.

Clarion hosted California
University of Pennsylvania on
Wednesday, February 2. Cal con-
trolled the game from the opening
tip, quickly assuming a ten point
lead. The teams went to the lock-
ers with Clarion down 25-37. Cal

with a 15-0 run. By the game's

rebounds in the 26 point loss.

On Sunday the Eagles traveled
to Maryland to face Columbia
Union. Columbia Union entered
the game without a win in 19 tries.
It showed, as the Eagles reliquin-
shed the lead for a mere 14 second
span in the first half. Clarion
expanded a 49-39 lead at the half
into a 95-71 rout.

Clarion saw four players in dou-
ble digits scoring. Melissa

CU wrestling loses to Edinboro then lose all-american, Angle

by J. P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

CU wrestling fell to the eighth
ranked Edinboro Scots by a score
of 21-14 this past Friday night at
Tippin Gymnasium. The win
moved Clarion to 2-9 on the sea-
son and 0-4 in conference.
Edinboro stayed unbeaten at 11-0
with a 4-0 conference mark.

Clarion jumped out to an early
14-4 lead which helped keep
them in the match. John Testa
won the heavyweight match over
Josh Pearce 3-2. Mike Snyder
then won a 9-7 decision over
Casey Brewster.

Edinboro then got their first
victory of the night when Chad

David Shearer

Caros won a major decision over
Mike Diaz, 12-4. Then at 141
pounds Mark Angle won a tech-
nical fall over Corey Ace 20-4.
With that win Angle won his 44th
consecutive dual meet placing
him 4th on the all-time list at
Clarion University. He is now
one behind Olympic champ Kurt
Angle.

Stan Spoore built the Clarion
lead to its highest of the night
when he won a 15-9 decision
over Kevin Maier. That would
be the last Clarion victory of the
night. Edinboro would win the
next five matches. At 174
pounds Josh Koscheck tied up
the match at 14-14 when he won
a 13-4 major decision over Brad

Harris. Edinboro finished off the
Golden Eagles when A.J.
Johnson at 197 pounds won a
major decision over Jesse Shirey,
10-2.

The weekend proved to get
worse for Golden Eagle
wrestling. Two-time NCAA
Division I AU-American Mark
Angle went down with an injury.

Angle who is currently ranked
#2 in the latest AWN & Internet
Individual rankings at 141
pounds, injured his knee the next
day during a regular practice ses-
sion performing manuevers.

The news became public when
Angle was forced to pull out of
the NWCA All-Star Matches on
Monday, February 7th at

Michigan State University.
Angle was to wrestle #3 ranked
Michael Lightner of Oklahoma
University.

Angle who just came off the
demolishing of Corey Ace from
Edinboro the night before moved
his season mark to 23-2. Angle
also has 120 career wins which is
eighth on the all-time list at
Clarion University.
Angle is at his peak of his college
career coming off an impressive
40-1 record from last year. A
year in which he finished third at
the NCAA Division I nationals.
Two years ago he was 43-3 and
earned a fourth place at nation-
als.
Angle tore cartlidge in his right

knee. The tear will not require
surgery. It will require extensive
rehab.

"I plan on having to rehab two
to three times daily in order to
strenghten the muscle in my
knee," said the all-american
Angle.

His expected return at this time
is unknown. Clarion wrestling
will take on Pittsburgh this
Thursday without Angle.

"He is definitely out of this
week's match. We are going to
take it week by week and see
how strong his knee gets. The
really unfortunate thing for our
team is we don't have anyone to
put at 141 pounds," said head
coach Ken Nellis.

Shearer, shredding thru the
PSAC West competition

by Derek Pyda
Clarion Call Staff Writer

With their win on February 2,
against California, the Clarion
men's basketball team has found
itself in first place in the PSAC
West with a record of 14-5 and a 5-
1 conference mark. One of the rea-
sons they are there is sophomore
power forward David Shearer.

Shearer is no stranger to success.
While at Hempfield High School
he was named to the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazettes "Fab 5" team. An
elite honor in the Pittsburgh area.

In his first year at Clarion,
Shearer averaged 9.6 points a
game while pulling in 6.2
rebounds a contest as well. These
numbers helped him win 1998 —
99 PSAC West Rookie of the Year.
This year Shearer has more than
avoided the sophomore jinx. He's
averaging 15.5 points per game
and pulling down 9.5 rebounds a
game. Despite his impressive num-
bers Shearer remains modest.

"I never thought that I would
have this much success in less than
two years. I wasn't expecting that
much playing time my freshman
year. I just came in at the right

time," said Shearer.

Despite his sophomore standing
Shearer is on the court for 31 min-
utes a game. Obviously, this
shows that Coach Ron Righter has
confidence in Shearer.

"Coach Righter has confidence
in all his players. He knows that
every players goal is team suc-
cess,"said the sophomore Shearer.
Coach Righter has described
Shearer as a leader. "I'm more of
a soft spoken leader. I go out and
perform. That's how I lead," said
Shearer.

With five conference games to
go, Clarion is ready to make a run
at the playoffs. Shearer believes
that this could be a big year.

"We have so many weapons and
our opponents can't focus on just
one player. I believe this year's
team can be the first Golden Eagle
team to make the NCAA Division
II tournament."

With the way Clarion has been
playing, its hard to argue with
Shearer.

Shearer and the rest of the
Golden Eagles will next be in
action at home on Wednesday,
February 16.

King is at the head of the pack

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

Ean King became the first ever
male or female runner to be
named all -region last year for
cross country. To go along with
being named all region, King also
grabbed all -conference honors.

King's hard work and determi-
nation has earned him these hon-
ors in two short years at Clarion.
He is a sophomore from nearby
Karns City. This is where King
flourished making it all the way
to states in high school. At Karns
City, King excelled his senior
year, he was named all-state in
both cross country and track.

At the collegiate level King has
already made his mark in two
short years. In his freshman year
King finished 27th in the confer-
ence and 30th at regionals. He
would learn a better running style
and improve one year later in his
sophomore season.

He had three impressive finish-

es last fall season. King ran to an
8th place finish at California
University. He posted a time of
28:40 in the 8K race. King con-
tinued to run well as the season
wore on. He topped off the regu-
lar season by running PSAC's in
25:27. This time was good
enough for all-conference honors
and 12th place.

King would run one week later
at regionals posting an impres-
sive 14th place showing in the
region. This enabled him to be
all-region for the first time in
school history.

"A lot of credit has got to go to
my coach," said King. "Coach
Mooney knows how to pace his
runner. He didn't overload
me,"said King of his head coach
Pat Mooney.

In the cross country season,
King runs everyday training for
each meet every Saturday. King
says since he has been here, cap-
tains like Jon Fox and Mark

Trzyna have really helped him
keep focus and have fun with it as
well.

"Jon and Mark have helped the
team all-around just by making it
a good atmosphere," said King of
his captains.

The team works very hard in
order to prepare for an 8K race
which they usually run every
Saturday during the fall.

"Mondays and Wednesdays are
the long runs, usually 10 miles.
Tuesdays and Thursdays are the
speedy days. These are the hard-
est days of the week,"said the
sophomore King.

"Ean is a highly motivated kid.
He is a true student of running.
He wants to succeed,"said Coach
Mooney.

Coach Mooney has taught King
a better running style that has
enabled him to improve dramati-
cally in one season.

"My freshman year I would
come right out of the gate and run

as hard as I could. I would wear
myself out. Coach has taught me
to be patient," said King.

"We try to build gradually. We
don't want to unload everything
on an individual the first year,"
said Mooney of his runners.

Now in the cross country off
season, King turns his attention
towards the 5000 meter. An
event which he will run at Penn
State this weekend. King's aver-
age time in this event is 15:18.

"I hope to try to break the fif-
teen minute barrier by the end of
the outdoor season," said King.

The national mark to qualify for
nationals is 14:50. "That is the
overall goal, to get him to the
national level. Hopefully if he
continues to improve he can get
to that all-american level,"said
Coach Mooney.

King and a few others will com-
pete at Penn State with the rest of
the team heading to Slippery
Rock to comptete.

CU hockey starts up a new season

by Drew McWilliams
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Through the leadership of cap-
tains Jeff VanStone and Drew
McWilliams, the Clarion ice
hockey team was brought back to
life in the winter of 1997-98.
This season is currently under-
way. VanStone and McWilliams
are just two of the now twelve
players that make up the squad.

"We have many young, new
faces on our roster this year
which gives us a new spark to
our game," said veteran team
member Christian Vanassa.

This year the Clarion team bat-
tles it out on the ice every
Monday night in Kittanning.
They play at the outdoor
Belmont Ice Complex in
Kittanning. The team is in the
process of adding one or two
additional players to the roster

to compete.

The season began with a 13-6
scrimmage victory. The team
followed their preseason win
with an opening game loss.

Performing in the season
opener were , Andy Boarts, Rich
Caporal, Bill Evans, Jeremy
Klescz, Jeff Hartman Drew
McWilliams, Joe Nemet, Steve
Seiler, Christian Vanassa, Jeff
VanStone, Dave Woods, and
Sean Watson.

Clarion's second game came
this past Monday resulting in a
3-2 victory. The game was run-
ning smoothly at first, with
Clarion taking the initial lead in
the first period.

By the end of the first period
Clarion was looking at a one
goal deficit, 2-1. However
Clarion rallied back in the sec-
ond with a goal.
The second period was packed

with power as Clarion player Bill
Evans got into a skirmish after a
blatant check from behind. Each
team retaliated causing Evans
and the visiting player to be
removed from the game. Clarion
battled on with new focus and
determination in spite of the situ-
ation.

Soon after the previous situa-
tion another incident occurred
when Clarion University player
Sean Watson landed an excellent
center ice check re-sparking
already drawn out tension
between the teams.

After scuffles from both teams
the game finished and Clarion
emerged victorious, Clarion
moved its early season record to
1-1.

The Clarion ice hockey team's
next game is on Monday,
February 14th at 10:00 in
Kittanning.

Strategic planning brings about a "Call to Action"

by Leslie Suhr

Clarion Call

Managing Editor

Clarion University President
Diane L. Reinhard has made a
commitment of $200,000 in ven-
ture capital funds for the fiscal
year 2000-2001. These funds will
be used to support the achieve-
ment of the strategic directions
that result from this planning
effort.

In the Spring of 1998, Clarion
University faculty, administration,
and students jointly launched a
planning initiative under the Pew

Campus Roundtable program to
provide an opportunity to consider
important issues facing the uni-
versity, identify possible institu-
tional directions, and engage the
broader university community in a
discussion that would lead to pur-
poseful action.

The most recent proposal,
Clarion Call to Action: Innovate
to Compete, was produced by uni-
versity administration and faculty
to serve as an example of the kind
of product that will be developed
by a number of specific goals and
strategies to achieve them.

The purpose of identifying
issues was to move closer toward
closure on the identification of a
limited number of strategic goals
and promising strategies to
achieve them.

Five major proposed strategic
directions for Clarion University
have been identified as proposed
strategic directions for the
University. These were and con-
tinue to be discussed by the mem-
bers of the university community,
including input from various stu-
dent organizations.

The first strategic step involves

re-evaluating programs, student
retention, and recruitment within
the university. Some goals include
revising course offerings, devel-
oping freshman seminars, and
supporting faculty research and
publication.

Another part of this goal is to
assess the overall general educa-
tion requirements and the possi-
bility of reducing degree require-
ments to 1 20 hours.

The second strategic direction
will be budgeting and planning.
Some goals include hiring more
professors so more class sections

Ukranian delegates visit Clarion

Jeff Borczyk/The Clarion Call

On Friday February 1 1 , four delegates from Ukrain visited the Clarion Communication department. While on
the tour they made a quick stop at the Call to view a student newspaper. From Left to Right is Nina
Babukova, Karina Nalbandyan, Svitlana Berezhna, and Andriy Voloshyn.

can be opened, and investigating a
successful model that generates
revenue to develop and implement
for summer school which will free
up summer school to allow inno-
vation.

Decentralizing the authority of
the Clarion- Venango image and
defining the relationship between
Clarion, Venango, and the
Pittsburgh site is a third step in the
panning. It is also considering a
step to look into residence hall
development at the Venango site.

Strategic direction number four
includes developing a relationship
among the community and how
effectively committees within the
university function together. The
committee structure needs to be
re-evaluated to determine if the
committees have and understand a
clear line of authority. Certain
committees may be combined if it
is determined that two separate
groups have the same goals.

The final step of the proposed
strategic plan is internally focus-
ing on the students and image of
Clarion University and using
every avenue possible to market
Clarion in a better way.

This step includes making the
students stand out-developing
freshman portfolios, involving
students in conferences and
research, and advertising what
Clarion has to offer.

Student discussions have taken
place with the Roundtable and
topics have turned to scheduling,
advising, developing a winter ses-
sion, and assessing and updating
all of the technology at the univer-
sity.

Following the outcome of the
final preparation sessions, a
request for proposals will be
issued.

CU athletes should be support-
ed by ware "XHaricn Crazies''

Clarion University has both men's and women's
sports ranked at the top. But, does anyone realize
this? Probably not, and by the attendance at the
games, they must not even know that Clarion has
such teams.

Instead of taking a study break to watch TV, head
to Tippin on a Tuesday night and catch the action on
the court. Clarion men are ranked 6th in the Region!

Remember in high school when you never missed
a game and it was the cool thing to paint your face
and get wild after a big rival game? Why should it be
any different.

Clarion athletics are supported by promotion: pro-
grams, flyers, emails. But, still no one seems to take
an interest. Why could that be?

Clarion athletes practice well over 20 hours per
week. They then have to go to class. That's not
including the game days which tie up most of the
day. They at least deserve to have some support from
the fans.

The saying at Clarion is that we are "Clarion
proud." Are we? We should be. But, others would
think differently.

The cheerleaders, the "Clarion Crazies" that are at
every game, and the coaches seem to be the big sup-
porters of our athletes. But, we know many athletes
from classes, the papers, and from word of mouth.
Shouldn't we want to see what Clarion has to offer?

Think about it. It's something fun. It's a place to
meet new people. And, most importantly, it's a place
to check out where all the action is happening at--
Clarion proud.

Your Views

Art students respond to article

Dear Editor,

As art students at Clarion University, we are
very concerned about an article published in the
February 10 issue of The Clarion Call.
Specifically, we are concerned about the mis-
leading inaccuracies in the article entitled "Board
of Directors Brews about Artwork" (page 7).

In this article Editor-in-Chief Jeff Say reported
that, "It was discussed that the Board would ask
student artists to adorn the walls [of the new cof-
fehouse area] with their works, but was informed
that some students were not interested unless
their works were purchased." Although Say
might or might not have heard this at the meet-
ing, this statement is false. Art students have
been eager to help with providing artwork and a
number of different possibilities were suggested.
Many of these options did not involve purchases.
The negative and biased tone in this story makes
art students appear mercenary and uncaring
about the university's welfare, which is totally
untrue.

We feel this story is insulting to the members
of Vizartz and to all art students. As an editor,
Say should be aware that reporting involves the

correct and objective assimilation of facts. We
would appreciate acknowledgement from Say
that he obviously sought no confirmation or ver-
ification from any of the art students involved. A
retraction or clarification seems to be in order.

In future issues concerning art students, we
would ask that Say and his associates contact us
before publishing such a biased review of a situ-
ation that he has not investigated. We encourage
all students at Clarion University to voice their
opinions, but ask that they do so only after learn-
ing all the facts.
Sincerely,
Members of Vizartz and art students

Editors note,

In response to the above letter, I apologize if my arti-
cle was misinterpreted in any way. The article that was
written was in no way a personal attack on Vizartz or
art students.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey Say

My bed is like the
devil. If I go back in J
have sold my soul, and
1*11 miss a test or some-
thing."

Kristen Colello

My Favorite Place

I visit my favorite place
daily. In fact, sometimes I
need to go twice. Many
people call me lazy because
of this. However, I don't
let them get me down, I just
lay down — in my bed.

I sometimes have trouble
getting out of my bed
because it is so cushy and
toasty warm. My leopard
bedspread was once thick
and fluffy, but now it is
worn and lazy like me. I
like to pull this cuddly
dream up over my ears
sometimes because I want
to stay as warm as I can. I
like to wrap myself in my
comforter like a taco with-
out the ground beef.

I also like my egg crate
bed cushion. It is lumpy in
just the right spots. I like
to stick my toes between
the little bumps until I fall
asleep. It's like a foot mas-
sage. Although my egg
crate is hidden under my
sheets, it is an important
part of my process.

Just the sight of my bed
makes me sleepy.

Sometimes it makes me sad
when I just get out of it. I
stare at it and sigh because

I haven't made my bed yet,
and I keep thinking that it
wouldn't hurt if I snuck
back in for longer than a
few seconds. My bed is
like the devil. If I go back
in, I have sold my soul, and
I'll miss a test or some-
thing. Then the devil will
smile to show his lack of
teeth.

Usually my bed doesn't
have a smell (not to my
knowledge anyway.)

However, I love when my
bedspread is fresh out of
the laundry because it's
extra fluffy, and I know it's
clean. What's ironic is that
my dryer sheets are
unscented, but deep down I
can smell this unsmellable
clean. It makes me content
just to know that it's been
washed.

I like my bed, and you
would too if you ever slept
in it. However, I feel sorry
for you because you never
will.

I've found my life to

be a lot more enjoyable

now that I've lifted my

self-imposed sentence of

perfectionism"

Garrett Fabian, Photography Editor

It's 3:30 in the A.M. and I have
just finished reading 94 pages of
text for tomorrow. I pride myself
on my ability to procrastinate.
Anyone can keep up with work as
it's assigned. The true challenge
lies in absorbing a month's worth
of information in one evening
and regurgitating it on the test the
next day. Putting off classwork
frees up my time to learn many
other valuable life skills not
taught on campus. When I throw
a ping pong ball into my future
employer's coffee mug from the
other end of the meeting table,
he'll be so impressed that I'll get
a raise for sure.

Tonight, though, the workload
has proved to be too much. I still
have a five page rough draft page
to do, but hey, it's only a rough
draft. I set my alarm for a four
hour nap. If I get up at 7:30, I'll
have enough time to write this
editorial before class. 7:30
comes way too quickly. I sit on
the edge of the bed for about ten
minutes, trying to work up the
motivation to get in the shower
when I have an epiphany... I can
sleep another hour if I write the
editorial in my first class! Time

management at its best.

My freshman year, I would
have stayed up all night finishing
the rough draft and editorial. I
still remember my first all-
nighter. I watched the sun set and
rise from the window of the com-
puter lab without the aid of coffee
(I still have no idea how I man-
aged that). I then went to my
eight o'clock Calc. class a little
early and fell asleep on the mar-
ble hallway floor using my book
for a pillow. Similar episodes
followed over the next few years
until I realized that there are more
important things than finishing
every assignment, things like
sleep.

I've found my life to be a lot
more enjoyable now that I've lift-
ed my self-imposed sentence of
perfectionism. The pressure to
do well is no longer clawing at
the back of my brain every wak-
ing minute. Don't get me wrong,
I still do my work and get good
grades, but life goes on if I don't
turn in the occasional assignment
or get an A or a B on a test. I
think in some way my habit of
procrastination was developed as

Fabian! Photography editors ideas for new ways of learn-
ing, from Page 3.

a defense mechanism against the pressure to do well in school. I was so
worried about doing a perfect job that I wouldn't do my work for fear
of it coming out less than perfect. Out of sight, out of mind.

This past October, I had an educational experience that was so great
that had my regular college education been conducted in a similar man-
ner, I probably never would have become a procrastinator. This is
because it was an educational environment with no pressure to succeed
(read: "no grades"). I'm referring to a convention I attended for college
journalists. Here's how it started. They handed you a schedule of class-
es for the weekend. You didn't have to telereg or beg the instructor to
be let in, you just went. Incredible! You went to the courses that inter-
ested you. There was no confusing checksheet with required courses
you could care less about. Attendance was not taken and no one raised
an eye if you showed up late. After all, you were there to learn of your
own free adult will. There was no reason for them to penalize you for
exercising said will, you were only hurting yourself by not going and
that choice was left to you. Finally, there was no required reading, they
taught you what you needed to know in class. After all, if you wanted
to learn from a book, you would go to the library instead of class.

I'm sure that any professor could come up with a litany of reasons
why college should not be conducted in such a manner, but any system
of education that allows for learning in a stress-free environment is a
good one in my book. My book, by the way, will not be required read-
ing.

Disney causes controversy

Well. Disney is doing it again. Causing controversy that is.
I recently visited my friendly neighborhood movie theater to
catch a film. I grabbed my snacks and headed to my seat just in time
for previews, one of my favorite things about the whole show. As the
previews progressed, I noticed one for Disney's recently released
animated film, "A Tigger Movie."

As the preview started, my ears perked up at the sound of one of
my favorite bands playing background music for this new Disney
children's movie. I immediately recognized the catchy intro to Third
Eye Blind's hit single "Semi-Charmed Life."

In just a few seconds, the song's lyrics really sank in. They're
very focused on sex and drugs. In the first verse alone lead singer
Steven Jenkins refers to oral sex and taking drugs through the nose.
The song also alludes to crystal meth and how to take it.

While many of my college-age friends and I love this band, there's
little doubt that this song in particular is sorely inappropriate for a
children's movie — or even a preview advertising one.

I'm not sure what Disney was thinking when they picked this tune
for a trailer, but one thing is certain: they're only hanging them-
selves by doing so. After all, people have akeady gotten riled over
some of their last films. Rumors still abound that that's a penis pic-
tured on the cover art of "The Little Mermaid" and that animators
spelled the word "sex" in clouds swirling throughout "The Lion
King." There have also been plenty of people noticing ju5t how well
endowed and shapely some of Disney's leading animated, female
characters have been.
Does the company do this stuff on purpose? You'd think they'd be

more careful given the quesnons
that have been raised in the not-
so-recent past. Then again, after
hearing Third-Eye Blind's music
used to peddle a children's film,
maybe I'm giving Disney too
much credit for maintaining its
high standards for family enter-
tainment.

Goodbye Charlie
Brown; we'll miss you

The card read, "You were a good man, Charlie Brown."

An unknown fan had placed it on the door of Snoopy's Gallery and Gift Shop in Santa Rosa, Calif., after
learning of Charles Schulz's death Sunday night.

It was a simple gesture, much like the five flower bouquets that sat outside Schulz's favorite haunt in Santa
Rosa come Sunday afternoon.

There were no simple gestures when John F. Kennedy died last summer. Thousands of flowers, cards, and
teddy bears flooded makeshift memorials across Martha's Vineyard. More than 90 satellite trucks swarmed
the beaches near where Kennedy's plane went down. The Associated Press pumped out four stories every day
for two solid weeks on the Kennedy tragedy.

When Charles Schulz died last Sunday in his sleep, there were only five flower bouquets at an informal ■
memorial outside of Snoopy's Gallery and Gift Shop. There were only a handful of cards. And just two
Associated Press stories.

They were all simple gestures.

And that's exactly how the good man himself, Charles Schulz, would have wanted it.

Schulz, writer of the most popular comic strip in history, Peanuts, slipped quietly into that good night last
weekend at age 77. He didn't go alone, though. With him went Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Woodstock, Franklin,
Sally, Peppermint Patty, Schroeder, Pig Pen, Marcie, ReRun, and of course, Charlie Brown.

They slipped into history, too.

Granted, they were already technically gone. Schulz had retired the entire cast of Peanuts earlier this year
so that he could focus on recovering from colon cancer. But there was always that lingering hope that just
maybe he'd recover and Peanuts would be back for another 50 years. Marcie would once again follow
Peppermint Patty and call her "Sir". Sally would be back to chase her "Sweet Babboo," Linus. Snoopy would
again do his best to outwit "the cat next door", and his alter-egos Joe Cool, World War I Flying Ace, Literary
Ace, Foreign Legionnaire, etc., would find themselves in new European-flavored adventures.

Maybe even Charlie Brown would return with his round head, striped sweater, and everyman "Good grief!"
attitude.

But only heroes are immortal. Only kings are resurrected. Only legends come back from the grave. Charles
Schulz dies once. He dies just once, in that simple, common, Charlie Brown sort-of-way.

Fitting.

Perhaps it's also fitting that like Charlie Brown, Schulz battled anxiety, depression and shyness much of his
life. "A shy and insecure student, Schulz struggled through [art school], submitting his coursework by mail
instead of in person and earning only a C+ in 'Drawing of Children," Schulz's biography reads on the offi-
cial Peanuts Web site, Peanuts.com

His biographer Rheta Grimsley Johnson, also notes Schulz's insecurity in her book "Good Grief: The Story
of Charles M. Schulz." "Rejection is his specialty, losing his area of expertise," she writes. "He has spent a
lifetime perfecting failure." Johnson goes on to elaborate on how Schulz poured his insecurity into his work
and namely, a pitcher with wins, 10,000 losses (or something to that effect) a youngster who can't elude that
kite-eating tree, and a young romantic who can't quite get the right words out to the little red-headed girl. He
poured it into that simple kid.

That simple gesture

That Charlie Brown.

Schulz was Brown, and Brown was Schulz. Granted, Charlie Brown was actually named after an old friend
of Schulz's, a Mr. Charlie Brown (who was, naturally, also rejected by a little red-headed girl), but it's no mat-
ter. Schulz took Charlie and turned him into himself.

"There is a lot of myself in [Charlie Brown's] character," Schulz once said.

And really, that's all he needed to say.

There weren't thousands of flower bouquets when Charles Schulz died. There wasn't live, 24-hour CNN
coverage or front page stories day after day. Santa Rosa didn't turn into Martha's Vineyard, and Snoopy's
Gallery and Gift Shop certainly didn't turn into the beach at Martha's Vineyard. There were a few flowers, a
few cards, a few mourners. Two AP stories, several editorials, and one Reuters wire story on Yahoo.com in
which, almost fittingly, Charlie Brown's name was spelled "Charley" half a dozen times.

They were all simple gestures. They were all perfect gestures.

Goodbye Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Woodstock, Franklin, Sally, Peppermint Patty, Schroeder, Pig Pen, Marcie,
and ReRun. We'll miss you.

Goodbye to you too, Charles.

And don't worry.

You were a good man.

Student Senate election procedures change

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

Senator elections for the 2000-
2001 school year were discussed
Monday night at the Student
Senate meeting.

Senator Jennifer Mathis
reviewed possible dates and sever-
al changes to the election proce-
dures this year. Senator elects will
be required to obtain 75 signatures
and two letters of recommenda-
tion, in addition to having a
2.2 grade point average.

Senate applications will be avail-
able Monday, February 21 in the
Senate office and will be required
back by Friday, March 17.

President Leslie Suhr discussed
the Board of Student Government
Presidents meeting which will be
held in Harrisburg February 18-
19. She also distributed a memo

from Dr. George Curtis, Vice
President of Student Affairs, out-
lying the savings the Clarion
Students' Association Board of
Directors will see over the next 10
years by removing the game room
and installing the Coffee Shop.

Treasurer Brian Sowa
announced the current account
balances during the

Appropriations report. The Large
Item Capital Account has
$262,341.97. The Capital

Account has $89,093.19. The
Supplemental Reserve Account
has $22,521.53. The

Supplemental Account has
$15,250.51.

Treasurer Sowa moved to allo-
cate $4,284 from the
Supplemental Reserve Account to
The Clarion Call, for the
National College Media

Convention in New York City.

He also moved to allocate
$3,750 from the Capital Account
to the Clarion University
Cheerleaders for the purchase of
new uniforms. Their current uni-
forms were purchased three years
ago and are tearing.

Sowa moved to allocate $1,000
from the Supplemental Account to
the English Club for their 2nd
Annual Pennsylvania State
English Majors Conference which
will be held at Clarion.

A motion was made to allocate
$445 from the Supplemental
Account to Association Of
Business Graduate Students for a
budget request. The organization
has become a re-recognized orga-
nization with new officers.

It was moved to allocate $770
from the Supplemental Account to

the Terra Club for an educational
trip to Hawaii. The original
request was for $7,150. The
Appropriations Committee cut the
original cost of the plane tickets
after they had learned the organi-
zation had already purchased
them.

"Senate can not allocate funds
for something already purchased,"
said Sowa. "It needs to be made
clear to organizations not to pur-
chase tickets or commit to definite
plans before receiving guaranteed
funding from Senate."

The money allocated will cover
the expense of entrance fees for
parks and their car rental.

It was then moved to allocate
$2,489.69 from the Capital
Account to the VizArtz Club for
the purchase of furniture for the
newly created VizArtz Lounge. A

VizArtz representative said that
the lounge would be for students
to relax in between classes.

Sowa was concerned about the
Board of Directors recent alloca-
tion of $27,000 to create the
Coffee Shop which should he feels
should be adequate and close
enough for students to relax in.
The motion failed 3-10-3.

Senator Bobbi Bothell moved to
recognize and fund the
Photography Club. The funding is
needed for the organization to pur-
chase bulk film and chemicals.

She also moved to recognize the
Clarion University Council of
Teachers of English and Language
Arts. They will be focusing on
professional development.

The next Student Senate meeting
will be Monday, February 21 in
246 Gemmell.

University students receive 1999 Project awards

by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Six Clarion University students
have recently been named the
recipients of the Fall 1999 Project
Awards by the Presidential
Commission on the Status of
Women. The students who were
honored include Virginia Parkum,
Jacqueline Sherman, Yelena
Janumyan, Heather Ochs, and
Angeline Binick. This award,
offered to females and males, sup-
ports student research on gender,
as well as fields in which his/her
gender has traditionally been
under-represented. The project
award committee chair, Sharon
Challener, offers "Women in
Physics" or "Men in Elementary
Education" as two good exam-
ples.

Although the Presidential
Commission does not have a lot
of money to hand out, committee

member Dr. Steve Johnson
encourages students to apply. He

said, "It functions like an intern-
ship.. .It is a very rich experience
for students."

The awards help students cover
costs of traveling to various
regional as well as national con-
ferences to present their projects.
All recipients happen to be
female; however, the committee
members, Challener, Johnson, and
Dr. Jean Slattery are looking for-
ward to receiving more male
applications. Challener stated, "I
think it's really important for stu-
dents to present in their field. It
provides men and women with
more confidence, making them
more likely to stay in that field.
That's important no matter who
you are."

Virginia Parkum of Harrisburg is
a graduate student in the Master of
Science in Library Science pro-
gram at Harrisburg. She will pre-

sent her paper, "Prison as
Practice: Reports from Buddhist
Prison Ministries" at the
International Conference of the
Society for Buddhist-Christian
Studies.

I'm very pleased
that I was able to win
the award because I
think it'll help me make
some good contribu-
tions in the field of
women 's studies. 9§

Tilling History's Soil

by Christopher Martin
Campus Correspondent-Tuman

College
Tribune Media Service Campus^

All right, kids, Afican American
History Month is upon us. But
this year, let's make sure we men-
tion the people who have surrepti-
tiously been excluded from many
textbooks, all right?

One that immediately springs to
mind is Emmett Till.

Emmett who?
Emmett Till, the 14-year-old
black boy, who in 1955 was brutal-
ly beaten, mutalated and sent to an
early grave by two men angry only
at his words and the color of his
skin.

For allegedly whistling at and/or
uttering an innocuous phrase to a
southern white woman, Till was
shot, tied to a 75-pound fan with
barbed wire and dumped in the
nearby Mississippi River. His
attackers? The woman's husband,
J.W. Milam, and her brother, Roy
Bryant.

Northerners and southerners
alike, both white and black, were
outraged. The atrocity signaled a
turning point in our collective his-
tory. Till's mother decided to pub-
lish photos of her son's swollen

and mutilated body, giving the
murder national attention.

Although decades have passed,
the event still marks a milestone in
black, as well as U.S., history.
Till's murder is listed as the second
event on the Civil Rights Memorial
and credited with spurring the
movement of the same name.

Unfortunately, we often regard
history as passe or as an oblicious
phenomenon. Till's case, which
ended in an acquittal for the defen-
dants - who, it's important to note,
later confessed to his murder -
must not go unrecognized and
tossed into an archive. It must
serve as a testament of our soci-
ety's triumphs and grim
hypocrisies.

Recently, a depiction of the
ordeal, written by award - winning
playwright, David Barr and Mrs.
Mamie Till Mobley, Emmett's
mother, opened in Chicago late last
year to a diverse audience of
theartregoers.

Accurate historical portrayals like
this one remind the public about
the "real" issues. Seeing actors
perform and become these figures,
helps to dust off the past and bring
important vestiges of time to new.

The missing element

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor

Dr. Warren Kati, a 1979 gradu-
ate of Clarion University, recent-
ly chose Clarion University to
establish a $5,000 scholarship
fund through the University
Foundation. The money will
establish a chemistry scholarship
in Kati's name.

Kati is part of a sick person
research team at Abbott
Laboratories in Illinois. The
team recently won the pharma-
ceutical company's
"Outstanding Research Team
Award."

The team successfully identi-
fied a compound, currently
called ABT-378, which blocks
replication of the HIV virus.

Kati chose his alma-mater for
the scholarship because he real-
izes the challenges of a small,
state school institution.

"The department, (at Clarion),
is small and the University relies
on state support and it can
always use outside funding,"
says Kati. "I felt that chemistry
would make the best use of the
money."

Kati graduated summa-cum-
laude with degrees in both biolo-

Looking back on his college

Kati added.

After completing postdoctoral
work at the department of bio-
chemistry and molecular and cell
biology at Pennsylvania State
University, Kati joined Abbott
Laboratories in 1992.

He is now a senior leader in
charge of biochemistry for the
anti-viral department. His
research focuses on identifying
compounds to block replication
of the HIV virus, hepatitis C, and
the influenza virus.

Abbott Laboratories presents
two awards each year; one to the
outstanding researcher and one
to the team award.

The team was able to under-
stand how drugs are absorbed
and distributed in the body and
work together to design a better
HIV inhibitor.

"Each virus has its own genet-

The American Library
Association accreditation of
Clarion University has allowed
Clarion to become nationally
known.

Clarion offers a master's degree
in library science which is one of
three progams in Pennsylvania
while making the university one

Canada.

In addition, McGinn will bring
to Clarion an array of information
in the areas of fund raising, tech-
nological innovation, marketing,
the recruitment of African-
American librarians, and other
miniority groups from library sci-
ence.

He is the chairperson of the the
recruiting committee for the
Black Caucus of the American
Library Association. Also, his
abilities extend into the fields of
automation and electronic con-
nectivity.

McGinn has a connection to
Clarion. Previously, he was invit-
ed by Dr. Bernard Vavrek, profe-
sor of library science to speak for
the Center for Rural
Librarianship.

Also, his wife, Dr. - Jane Moore
McGinn is an assistant professor
at Clarion in the library science
department, who was hired last
fall.

McGinn graduated from
Villanova University, has a mas-
ter's degree from Drexel
University and a master's degree
from Campbell University.

His accomplishments include
the publishing in literature of
librarianship that includes , four
book chapters and more than 20
periodical articles. .

He was the director of the State
Library of North Carolina, at
Chestnut Hill College, and was an
executive director at PORTALS,
a consortium of public and acade-
mic libraries at Porland State
University in Oregon.

McGinn and his wife have a 15
month old daughter. McGinn
also has two adult children from a
previous marriage.

College stu-

It is obvtous that the majority of
college students are completely
unaware of the ongoing presiden-

Many students are not regis-
tered to vote. Most cannot name
the six race leaders. Can you?

If not, it seems to be OK. Apalhy
is just a sign of the age group,
rather than a sign of the times,

Get the skinny on losing weight

by A. A. Thompson

Clarion Call

Assistant News Editor

As winter weather sets in, often
so does laziness and winter
pounds.

To avoid gaining weight this
winter or to simply maintain your
regular body weight, follow these
tips.

First and foremost, just because
it's cold doesn't mean you still
can't get some exercise. It's also
important to make exercising fun,
to increase your motivation.

Some fun ways to exercise are:

* go sled riding

* build snowmen

* pack snowballs

* utilize rec centers or YMCA's
If you still don't think you'll be

motivated to exercise, arrange a
group for encouragement. Also,
don't be afraid to buy yourself
some workout gear to get yourself
psyched. (Ex. Running shoes, new

sweatpants etc.)

A key item to remember about
exercise is that it relieves stress,
which is what Dr. Rebecca Leas,
associate professor of health and
physical education, has often said.
"Exercise is an automatic de-stres-
sor," Leas said.

Dancing is another way to burn
calories without feeling like you
are completing a workout.

Don't take short-cuts like paths
or elevators. Even parking your
car far away is somewhat of a help.

Leas also said she's seen people
circling parking lots looking for
the closest space and has watched
college students take short cuts.

As with any healthy regimen,
eating right is essential. Avoid eat-
ing sugary snacks and drinks. Be
careful of drinks that have no
nutritional value, like soft drinks.

If possible, try not to watch as
much television. People who
watch excess television are more

likely to over-eat.

If you find yourself still unmoti-
vated, even after these tips, maybe
you could be suffering from some-
thing more than winter duldrums.
Many people are affected by
Seasonal Affective Disorder

(SAD). With SAD, people
become depressed due to lack of
sunlight in the winter.

If you have noticed a change in
yourself or somebody you love
this winter, be sure to contact a
health care professional.

Clarion Unversity heads "Into the Woods" with new production

Story courtesy of
University Relations

Fairy tales, told with a sense of
modern repercussions, is the
theme of the Broadway musical,
"Into the Woods," scheduled for
acting by the Clarion University
of Pennsylvania Theatre, Feb.
16-19, at 8 p.m. in Marwick-
Boyd Auditorium.

"Into the Woods," with music
and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
and book by James Lapine, is
directed by Marilouise Michel,
associate professor of speech
communication and theatre.
Tickets for the production are $8
for adults and $6 for children.
Clarion University students with

valid identification cards are
admitted free.

"I saw the original production
starring Bernadette Peters on
Broadway," says Michel. "It has
always been one of my favorites,
one that I wanted to direct.
Musical director Jim

Hollingsworth wanted to do this
show too."

"Into the Woods" brings two
characters created by Sondheim
and Lapine into contact with
many of the famous Brothers
Grimm fairy tale characters.

quest to lift the curse of child-
lessness placed on them by a
witch, search for special objects
to break the spell. During the

quest they encounter Little Red
Riding Hood, the Wolf,
Cinderella, Jack (from Jack and
the Beanstalk) and assorted
other princes, and familiar fairy
tale characters.

The play involves all of the
characters wishing for some-
thing they do not have. All of
them have to enter the woods to
get their wish. "The woods is a
metaphor for stepping into life,
pursuing your wish" says
Michel. "Whether you do this
thoughtfully or not makes a dif-
ference."

That decision splits the pro-
duction. "The first act leads
towards the happy endings of
most fairy tales," says Michel.
"The second act turns toward
reality, where 'happily ever
after' does not exist. The char-
acters deal with the uncertainty
of life and the tragedies that go
with it. I feel strongly that the
second act is not appropriate for
young children because of how
the story turns. There is NO
adult language in the play."

"There are lessons to be
learned from Tnto the Woods,'
something that doesn't always
happen in a musical. The main
lesson is that a person can't just
act on a situation, but must listen
and think."

The musical highlights include
"Children Will Listen," "No One
Is Alone," "Into the Woods," and
"Agony." "Stephen Sondheim is
the king of word play," says
Michel. "The lyrics are witty,
entertaining, and intelligent.
The vocal score is challenging.
I am pleased that there are excel-
lent musicians in the department
who are up to the task of per-
forming this work."

According to Michel the cast,
technical crew, and designers all
face additional challenges
because of the nature of fairy
tales. "The cast has to deal with
the humanity of the characters
and the realistic conflicts they

encounter along with non-realis-
tic situations such as giants,
bean stalks, a goose that lays
golden eggs, witches, and peo-
ple coming back to life from the
stomach of a wolf," she says.
"The technical crew must create
these special effects and the
designers have to set the moods
with their sets. I have compe-
tent people that can accomplish
all of these goals."

The cast includes:

Christopher Ritz as the narra-

tor, Katie Kerr as Cinderella,
Trevor Southworth as Jack,
Miranda Scopel as Jack's moth-
er, Chris Taylor as the Baker,
Kristie Leigh Belles as the
Baker's Wife, Laura Reichert as
Cinderella's stepmother, Danell
Garman as Florinda, Laura
Crago as Lucinda, Alexander V.
Thompson as Cinderella's
father, Mickey Truman as Little
Red Riding Hood, Seana Simon
as the witch, and Janie Reynolds
as Cinderella's mother.

Snapcase refines its hardcore approach

by James Gates
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Have you ever heard of
Snapcase? No, it isn't a type of
suitcase with snaps, it's a band. To
anyone familiar with hardcore
music, it is a band. Snapcase hails
from Syracuse, New York, and has
been putting out albums and play-
ing clubs throughout the nineties.
Snapcase signed to a fledgling
Victory Records in the early
nineties, and became the premier
live hardcore band, matching the
intensity of bands Agnostic Front,
Sick of it All, and Strife.

The band underwent several line-
up changes (too many to list) and
took a long hiatus before releasing
their third full length album,
Designs for Automotion.

Designs... is a continuation of style
from Snapcase's latest album,
Progression Through Unlearning,
and EP Steps, but it blows away
the debut, Lookingatself. Nothing
new here, just better.

Expect to hear pure, nonstop,
guitar-driven hardcore from the
moment the play button is pushed
until the disc quits spinning.
There is no rest for the ears as each
song punishes your eardrums, stir-
ring your adrenaline, causing you
to flail around the room in an
imaginary mosh pit. Writer's
Note: Extinguish all candles and
open flames before listening to
Designs...

While it can be argued that every
song sounds the same and
Designs... is just another hardcore
album, listening closer (at ungodly

high volumes) will reveal intrica-
cies that belie Snapcase's songs.
Whether it be Frank Vicario's gui-
tar patterns underneath the rhythm,
or Dustin Perry's odd time signa-
ture drum grooves, Snapcase does
the subtle things that set them
apart from other hardcore bands.
Like BASF, Snapcase doesn't
make the hardcore music, they
make it better.

Unfortunately, my argument
can't be supported by the vocal
department. Quite simply, it's all
screaming. If you can't figure the
lyrics out, they're in the liner
notes, and the songs take on new
meanings. Vocalist Jon Salemi is a
psychology major at Syracuse
University and developed all
album concepts, lyrics, and art-
work from his teachings.

Songs "Target," "Typecast
Modulator," "Energy Dreams,"
and "Ambition Now" deal with
finding out who each person is
away from MTV and popular cul-
ture, a popular hardcore ideal.
"Bleeding Orange" takes a "bot-
tom of the ladder" look at corpo-
rate America. Album gems
"Disconnector" and "Twentieth
Nervous Breakdown" deal with
breaking up different relation-
ships.

If you need a sure-fire healthy
dose of adrenaline, pop in
Designs... Crank it up, scare your
roommates, neighbors, and cat,
and slam around with Snapcase. I
did and Designs... earned four
pieces of broken furniture out of

five.

The Beach
soundtrack

is a curious
mixture

by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

Normally, I don't review sound-
tracks. Not that I have anything
against them, but they usually
don't add up to a cohesive whole,
the way an album should.

The soundtrack to the Danny
Boyle movie Trainspotting was a
notable exception. Containing a
potted history of British pop in the
past 25 years, from Brian Eno's
"furniture" music to Underworld's
drum 'n' bass din. The result was
not only a killer movie, but an
album that rocked, too.

Since then, Boyle has yet to pro-
duce either a movie or a sound-
track of that caliber. As far as the
music is concerned. The Beach is a
partial redemption. It doesn't have
an underlying theme or concept,
except for the emphasis on dance
music, and contains many atten-
tion-commanding songs.

First up is electro-techno group
Leftfield, who contribute a typi-
cally mediocre tune with
"Snakeblood." "Snakeblood" tries
to be hard-hitting and shocking,
but is merely nice to listen to a few
times. It's not a very promising
way to kick off the album.

All Saints gives the record a
much-needed IV of pure saccha-
rine with "Pure Shores," a harm-
less and catchy song that manages
to one-up their breakout hit,
"Never Ever." With an instantly
recognizable chorus and
Madonna-ready production, "Pure
Shores" should be a staple at
teenybopper skating rinks for
months to come.

Techno god Moby descends from
Mount Shakeyourbuttus to deliver

Beach! A review of the soundtrack to the new movie, The
Beach, from Page 11.

a lament-filled slow jam from his new
classic album, Play. One of the few
tracks not recorded especailly for the
soundtrack, 'Porcelain" is still a wel-
come addition, and one of the best
tracks on the disc. With slow,
processed vocals, wonderful piano
playing, merged with a rolling hip-hop
beat and a blues sample, "Porcelain" is
a plaintive plea for love.

"8 Ball," the new track ftom
Underworld, isn't on the same level as

"Bom Slippy," their addition to
Trainspotting, but it is yet another
shining example of their mutant
hybrid cross-breed of techno, pop, and
rock. Another nine-minute opus, "8
Ball" starts off with fuzzy program-
ming and Karl Hyde's nonsensical
and nasal chants, before culminating
in a jazzy guitar solo.

The middle of the disc lags some-
what, with Sugar Ray's god-awful
cover of the Brian Eno song,

"Spinning Away." Mark McGrath
proves once again that his group truly
is beached. Asian Dub Foundation
delivers a odd amalgam of everything
with their track, and a William Orbit
remix of the Blur song "On Your
Own," is featured.

Things pick up once again with the
Faithless song, "Woozy," with a wob-
bly and stumbling bass line that
sounds like it's ingested too much
alcohol. That's a good thing, since the

track is absolutely intoxicating, thanks
in large part to Maxi Jazz's mumbled
vocals. "Woozy" is a hangover you
can enjoy.

But for me the highlight of the disc
is "Brutal," the first new track in over
seven years from British supergroup
New Order. With a menacing bass
line that drags its knuckles all over the
song and Bernard Sumner's pinched
vocals, "Brutal" is a welcome return to
form by New Order. It's not the best

work they've done, but it still manages
to captivate.

But leave it to Leo DiCaprio to ruin
the disc's end. His sampled vocals on
OrbitaPs "Beached" are just too
annoying. "I know now that paradise
isn't a real placc.you have to find it in
yourself..." he whines while Orbital
begs you to get your groove on. Just
quit your b**chin and dance, Jack
Dawson. Meanwhile, The Beach
soundtrack get a 4 out of 5.

by Dave Barry

REGIS PHILBIN: Welcome to
"Who Wants To Be a Millionaire,"

Tigger gets his chance to shine in the spotlight with The Tigger Movie

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Ah, the joys of being a film
critic. I arrived at the
Clarion Mall at 2:45 on
Monday afternoon to find
that the only movie being
shown before 4 p.m. was
hardly one that I'd been
dying to see. After purchas-
ing a ticket for said movie, I
went directly to the screen-
ing room to find a seat and
learned that I was the only
one in the theater. As if my
moviegoing experience

couldn't degenerate any fur-
ther, the projector decided
that today would be a per-
fectly wonderful day to
screw with my head by show-
ing a quarter of the picture
on the top of the screen, a
quarter on the bottom, and a
huge black strip in between.
So I had to run out to the
concession stand and utter
the humiliating phrase,
"Excuse me, Miss, but I
think something's wrong
with the picture on The

Tigger Movie." Oh well, at
least I wasn't there to see
Snow Day.

So what's wrong with The
Tigger Movie, you might
ask? Absolutely nothing.
Consistently charming and
gently funny, The Tigger
Movie is a fine children's
film with a time-honored
message: Remembering to
love your family and friends
is one of the most important
duties in life.

The latest adventure of
Winnie the Pooh's best friend
begins with Tigger trying to
talk the narrator out of
telling yet another story
about Pooh and, for once,
telling a story about him.
Since Tigger can be pretty
persuading (and obnoxious)
when he wants to be, the nar-
rator agrees and begins the
story of Tigger's lonely
search for someone just like
him. Dismayed by the fact
that nobody in Hundred Acre
Woods ever has time to
bounce with him (with the
exception of Mrs. Kanga's

little son, Roo), Tigger
decides to set out on a search
for his family tree.

Although Tigger's search
winds up leading him in cir-
cles, with no sign of his fam-
ily anywhere to be found,
Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and
Roo write Tigger a fake letter
from his family in order to
cheer him up. An over-excit-
ed Tigger reads more into the
letter than he should have

and decides that his family is
planning to visit him the next
day. Since telling him the
truth would leave him heart-
broken, Tigger's friends
decide to dress up as his
"family" to make their boun-
cy old pal happy.

That's not to say that all is
well in Hundred Acre Woods.
The songs in The Tigger
Movie are completely forget-
table and the animation is

Tigger is full of joy and excitement in his first starring
role with 'The Tigger Movie.'

slightly better than second-
rate. Certain backgrounds
look as if they were left over
from the awful old Warner
Brothers cartoons made dur-
ing the mid-70's.

Animation isn't everything,
though. The Tigger Movie is
far better than most of
Disney's second-tier releases
are. What parent could resist
taking their kids to spend an
afternoon with characters as
endearing as Pooh Bear and
Piglet? If anything, the sim-
ple drawings used in Tigger
should help to whet our
appetites for the extrava-
gance of Disney's mind-
bending summer release,
Dinosaur, a preview of
which can be seen on the
video cassette of last sum-
mer's hit film, Tarzan.

For now, Tigger will prob-
ably be springing across
screens for the rest of the
winter. Once again, when it
comes to animation, even
Disney's lesser works truly
have more bounce for the

ounce.

CU Men's basketball take Edinboro into double overtime for the win

by Jonathan Shaffer
Clarion Call Staff Writer

For the Clarion University
men's basketball team, last week
was an eventful one.

For starters, the Golden Eagles
survived a serious scare by pulling
out a 100-94 double-overtime vic-
tory over Edinboro University in
PSAC Western Division action
Wednesday, Feb. 9, at Waldo S.
Tippin Gymnasium

Clarion then clinched a play-
off spot with an 81-66 win over

But the winning streak and
first place in the standings were
almost over, as Edinboro pushed
Clarion to the limit.

"That was one of the most
exhausting games I ever
coached."

Edinboro had the first lead of
the ballgame, as Kenny Tate hit a
jump shot 39 seconds in.

The Golden Eagles, however,
were first to put together a sizable
run, outscoring Edinboro 15-3 to
take a 15-5 advantage with 15:43
left.

Garrett Fabian /The Clarion Call

CU Men's Basketball avenged an overtime loss earlier this
year to the Fighting Scots. This time Clarion managed to win
the overtime duel.

conference opponent Lock Haven
University Saturday, Feb. 12, at
Lock Haven's Thomas Field
House.

"It's a nice feeling to have
secured a playoff spot in such a
tough conference; this conference
can be a real killer," Clarion coach
Ron Righter said.

"Honestly, I didn't expect us
to be in this position (of having
already earned a playoff spot)."

The Golden Eagles (18-5
overall, 8-1 PSAC West)
improved their winning streak to
10 games and remained tied for
first place with California
Univerity in the PSAC West
standings. Clarion is also ranked
sixth in the NCAA Division II
East Region.

Clarion hit three three-pointers
and Tamir Harbin and Allen
Stevens scored five points each in
the run to help the Golden Eagles
build a 10-point advantage.

But Edinboro rallied to cut its
deficit down to five points as
Derek Armstrong made a layup
with 13:53 left to make the game
18-13.

Clarion answered the Fighting
Scots comeback by taking off on a
10-0 run in 1:16 to gain a 28-13
edge with 11:47 left. Harbin rat-
tled off six points in the run
including putting together a four-
point play.

The Golden Eagles still held a
double-digit lead with a 13-point
advantage at 40-27, as Harbin
drove home a three-pointer with

two minutes left.

After the Harbin trey,
Edinboro went on a 6-0 run to end
the half. A three-pointer by Jean
Paul and points from Tate and
James Dickerson in the run pulled
Edinboro to within seven points at
40-37.

But Clarion regained a double-
digit lead at 11 points early in the
second half thanks to two free
throws by Chris Kelley and a
layup by Rollie Smith. Smith's
field goal at the 19:29 mark gave
Clarion a 44-33 lead.

Later on in the half, the
Fighting Scots rallied to come to
within four points of the lead.
Paul got Edinboro within four
points with a jump shot at the
14:47 mark to make the score 50-
46.

The Golden Eagles retaliated
by regaining an 11-point lead
about midway through the half. A
layup by Kelley with 10:11 left to
play gave Clarion the 11-point
edge at 62-51.

After Smith's layup, the
Fighting Scots went on an 18-2
run in 4:37. By the time the dust
had settled Edinboro was up 69-
64 with 5:23 left.

"We weren't hitting our
shots," Righter said. "We were a
little impatient against their zone.

The Golden Eagles got even
more bad news just 62 seconds
later, as Stevens fouled out at the
4:21 mark.

Edinboro still possessed the
lead late in the half, as Tate made
two foul shots to give the Fighting
Scots a 74-71 lead with 1:35 left.

But the Golden Eagles rallied
from the three-point deficit to take
a one-point lead with 49 seconds
remaining. Layups by Smith and
Shearer gave Clarion a 75-74
lead.

Clarion then took a two-point
lead at 76-74 with 31 seconds left,
as Harbin hit the front end of a
one-and-one.

But Tate tied the game at 76 by
hitting a jumper with three sec-
onds left, forcing the extra period.

"You have to be a motivator in
a situation like that, almost a con
artist really," Righter said. "You
know the guys are thinking,
"Man, here we go again."

Clarion came out of the blocks
quickly in the first overtime peri-
od, bolting out on a 6-0 run. Four
points by Shearer in the run
helped put the Golden Eagles up
82-76 with 2:09 left.

But Edinboro managed to
stave off defeat just a little while
longer, going on 8-2 run to cause
another overtime. Adam

Kaufman's layup with three sec-
onds tied the game at 84 and
forced the second extra frame.

The two teams continued to
battle in the second overtime, with
the score being tied at 89 with
3:57 left. Kaufman made a foul
shot for the Fighting Scots to tie
the game at 89.

It was what happened after
Kaufman's foul shot that really
decided the game, as Clarion went
on a 7-1 run. A three-pointer by
James Bigler and four points from
Shearer helped the Golden Eagles
take a 96-90 lead with 1:38 left.

Edinboro was unable to stage
a comeback, as the Fighting Scots
got no closer than five points of
the lead.

The last point of the game was
when Bigler hit one of two free
throws with six seconds left to
make the final score 100-94.

Four Clarion starters scored in
double figures, as Shearer led the
way with 29. Harbin added 28
points and Kelley and Smith reg-
istered 12 each.

Three Fighting Scots scored
over 20 points. Paul led Edinboro
with 27 points, while Kaufman
and Tate contributed with 22
points respectively.

Righter closing in on the 200th win plateau

by J. P. Kenney
Clarion Call Staff Writer

CU Men's Basketball head
coach Dr. Ron Righter has
enjoyed another successful season
to go along with his stellar coach-
ing career. A career that began as
a player at the Division I level.

Coach Righter began his college
playing days at Duke University
on a basketball scholarship from
Central Bucks West High School
right outside of Philadelphia.
After two years at Duke, Righter
transferred to St. Joesph's in the
heart of Philadelphia. This is
where he had his most success as
a player. While at St. Joesph's his
senior year, he was named team
MVP and team captain. There he
averaged 17.8 points per game.

After his playing days Coach
Righter received a Masters from
Lehigh in Couseling Education.
While going for his graduate
work, Righter began coaching.
He started in 1977-78 at Lafayette
under former Iowa coach Tom

Davis. Righter then moved on to
Lehigh to become an assistant in
the 78-79 season. After this assis-
tant's job, Righter would move on
to the head coaching ranks. He
went on to coach at Wilkes
College for his first head coach-
ing position. Only spending two
short years there, he posted a 24-
22 mark.

Righter was finally realed back
to the assistant coaching ranks by
his friend George Raveling. He
joined the now retired George
Raveling at Washington State
University. As Raveling's first
assistant, Righter and Raveling
enjoyed a lot of success, leading
them to the NCAA Division I
playoffs in 1983.

Righter would follow Raveling
to Iowa as first assistant and
recruiting coordinator for the
Hawkeyes. While there Righter
saw the Hawkeyes post a 54-38
record. Along with the impres-
sive winning percentage came
three straight top 20 recruiting

classes.

Dr. Righter would then find his
way to Clarion University after
him and Raveling made one more
stop at USC for two years.

Now in his twelth season at
Clarion Coach Righter has com-
piled up many records. Righter is
the all-time winningest coach in
Clarion history with 196 wins.
He was named PSAC West
"Coach of the Year" in 1997.
This season included a 22-7 mark
with a 9-3 conference record.

"1997 might have been the best
team, but the squad I have right
now has a lot of talent. The nice
thing about this year's team is that
they are very coachable kids.
They are an all-around a fun
bunch," said Righter.

Righter has blossomed the talent
of many players while here at
Clarion. He has coached great
players such as Marvin Wells and
most recently Lormont Sharp.
Sharp now plays professionally in
the Budweiser League in

England. Possibly the greatest
player Righter has coached while
at Clarion is Kwame Morton.
Morton is the leading scorer in
PSAC history, with 2,543 points.

"I try to mold the system around
the team. I have tried to adapt and
change when necessary, depend-
ing on the team. If I have a bunch
of guys who are 6' 3 I am not
going to post them up all game
long," said Righter.

Coach Righter has reflected that
philosophy on this year's team,
taking them to a 18-5 mark.
Coach Righter also holds on to
two things Coach Raveling
always tried to preach.

"In this game as a college coach
you need to promote and recruit.
Things don't come easy in this
job. You need an excellent work
ethic especially towards those
things," said Righter.

"Each day it is key to do things
toward these things whether it's in
season or the off season," said
Righter.

Womens basketball notches PSAC west wins

by John C. Crawford
Clarion Call Staff Writer #

The Clarion University
women's basketball team erased
a big blot on their season; a zero
win record in the PSAC West.
Hosting Edinboro Wednesday,
February 9, the Eagles claimed
their first conference victory.

Clarion followed up by travel-
ing to Lock Haven, Saturday, to
bring back another win. The
women's team now stands at 9-
13 overall, with a 2-7 record in
the PSAC West.

Edinboro entered the
Wednesday match with a 5-2
conference record, in contention
for a playoff berth. But, an
Eagles team which has struggled
much of the season was able to
hang tough early.

Allison Stodart (9.3 ppg, 47 of
142 three-pointers) held the
Eagles' effort together, shooting
4-6 from the three point arc dur-
ing the first half. Stodart poured
in 14 points for the game.

Edinboro never took a lead of
greater than five. The half saw
the lead change hands eleven
times. The teams went to the

lockers with Clarion trailing 37-
35.

By 13:03 Edinboro had
watched its lead slip away
entirely. The Eagles took com-
mand of the game.

Powering the attack, Judy
Zimmerman ( 4.5 ppg, 37.1%
from the three point arc) came
off the bench to make ten points
and three steals in the second
half. Clarion took the win by an
80-71 margin.

The Eagles saw five players in
double digits scoring. Melissa
Yearous (14.2 ppg) and
Courtney Willman (7.7 ppg) led
the way with 15 points each.
The lone senior on the CU
women's basketball team,
Meisha Henry (10.9 ppg, 4.6
apg) went 11 of 13 from the line,
and contributed six assists.
Clarion shot 41.9% for the game.

Edinboro had two players with
double-doubles. Marin

Hightower a senior from Perry
was the game's leading scorer,
making 24 points and pulling
down 14 boards. Kim Vay
scored 17 and covered 18
rebounds. The team shot 29.7%

in the second half.

Saturday, the Eagles journeyed
to Lock Haven. After poor
shooting and twelve lead
changes early in the first half,
Clarion settled down and took
control of the game. Two free
throws by Stodart with 4:48 to
play in the first half established a
28-27 lead which would only
grow. The margin stood at 41-33
by halftime.

From the outset, the second
half belonged to the Ealges. The
lead never fell below twelve
after 16:46. Melissa Yearous
keyed the effort late in the game,
with 15 poins in the half.
Yearous had 25 on the game,
leading her squad to a 90-71 vic-
tory.

Clarion will host Indiana (Pa.)
Saturday at 6 p.m. Wednesday,
February 23, the Eagles will
travel to California (Pa.) to
round out the teams conference
schedule. Clarion has already
been eliminated from playoff
contention.

The CU women also play late
Wednesday at home against the
Slippery Rock Rockets.

put up a good fight but lost 5-4.

Clarion's lone bright spot was
the heavyweight match.
Clarion's John Testa, who was
ranked 20th in the nation pinned

Pitt's Matt Mueller. The six
points would be all Clarion

ing at 28-12 in favor of Lock

CU track stars close out the
indoor season at split meets

by Megan Pavuk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion men's and
women's track and field teams
split to compete at both Slippery
Rock and Penn State this past
Saturday. The competition at
each meet was high quality as
well as intense. As usual,
Clarion accepted the challenge
and performed well at both loca-
tions.

Highlights of the Penn State
meet included sophomore Tori
Watt's performance in the 60
meter, finishing with a time of
8.10. Dave Clark improved his
60 meter time to finish in 7.19.
Heidi Shellgren and Kara
Emrich's marked 38' 11 and
35' 11 respectively. Pole vaulter
Lisa Hamrick tied her record
from last year by vaulting 9'6".
Senior Maureen Long qualified
for the PSAC finals in the 800
meter.

At Slippery Rock, the men had
a number of credible accom-
plishments. Finishing first in the
high jump was Tony Morrow
(6'4). Placing second in both the
55 meter and 200 meter was Nick
Cucanato (6.88 and 23.8). Jerry
Smith took second in the 800
meter running 2.06. Todd
Gilbert triple jumped his way
into placing second with a jump

of 43 '4. Finally, the 4x400 meter
relay team also took second.
Matt Lapataka (800m), Brad
Walker (800m), John Shavulsky
(55m), Jason Tubbs (55m hur-
dles), and Gregg Wade (long
jump) also had notable perfor-
mances.

On the women's side, Kristie
Shoemaker took second in both
the triple jump and the long jump
(34'6 and 16'). Shoemaker also
took third in the 55 meter (8.03).
Elissa Till earned second in the
pole vault as well as a spot at the
PSAC finals with a vault of 8'0.
Lisa Hamrick took third in the
pole vault. Cheryl Sorice (400m,
200m, 55m), Leah Fennell (pole
vault), and Alison Ochs and Lisa
Tradinich (long jump, 55 meter
hurdles) also rose to the competi-
tion,

"We got off to a slow start on
Friday night. Ean King turned
his foot in the middle of the 5000
meter race. He recieved x-rays
and everything came back okay,
" said head coach Pat Mooney.

"One bright spot on Friday was
Tory Watt she did an excellent
job, Saturday was a real positive
day Lisa Hamrick jumped 9'6 in
only her fourth ever attempt at
this mark," said Mooney.

Next week a few of the team
members will be competing at
the Slippery Rock Relays.

Last week's answer was 27. Michael Jordan was 27
when he beat the L. A* Lakers for his first NBA title*

This week's question is:

Keeping on the Michael Jordan theme what two players

were picked before him in the 1984 NBA draft?

Basketball! CU Men's basketball holds off a pesky Edinboro squad to win in double over-
time, from Page 17

'They are just hard to block
out," Righter said. "It is tough
keeping them off the boards and
that is what probably kept them in
the game."

"Our foul shooting is definitely
a concern. We were one of the lead-
ers in the league shooting at the
line, but our numbers have been
declining."

Clarion did not have as difficult
of a time against Lock Haven (6-
16, 1-7), at least in the first half
anyway. Clarion played what
Righter called one of the best
halves they played all year in the
first half.

The Golden Eagles got off to
another strong start, this time tak-
ing a 16-4 lead with 13:16 left. But
Lock Haven responded to the
Clarion run by cutting the deficit to
six points. Justin Seitz pulled the
Bald Eagles to within six with a
three-pointer at the 8:46 mark to
make the score 23-17.

Clarion answered back by

opening its lead to 1 8 points with a
12-0 run in just 2: 16..

The Golden Eagles defense did
not let Lock Haven put together
two straight field goals for the rest
of the half, as Clarion went into the
locker room leading by 18 at 44-26.

On the other side, Clarion hit on
66.7 percent of its shot attempts.

It was Lock Haven who had the
strong start in the second half, as
the Bald Eagles went on an 11-3
run. Lock Haven pulled the game
to within 10 points at 47-37 with
17:36 left.

The Golden Eagles tried to hold
off Lock Haven and a layup by
Kelley gave Clarion a 53-42 lead.

But after Kelly's layup, Lock
Haven put together a 7-1 run. Four
points by Seitz in the run helped the
Bald Eagles close the gap to five
points at 54-49 with 9:19 on the
clock.

Clarion counter-punched with a
9-2 run that gave it a 12-point lead.
Shearer did his part by scoring four

points in the run, as the Golden
Eagles possessed a 63-51 edge at
the 5:02 mark.

The Golden Eagles were able to
hold Lock Haven the rest of the
way thanks to their foul shooting.

Clarion shot 13-18 at the line in
the final 3:10 of play. Aaron Epps
came off the bench and stepped it
up for Clarion, draining all eight of
his foul shots to give the Golden
Eagles a bit of a push toward the
81-68 triumph.

"Epps was the man," Righter
said. "You could tell that he had a
hot holster."

David Shearer put up double-
double numbers, scoring 20 and
pulling down 10 rebounds.

"It was really a heroic perfor-
mance by Shearer," Righter said.
"He was hit in the throat in practice
the day before and was taken to the
emergency room. We monitored
him pretty closely. He showed the
way he was feeling by the way he
played."

New drive to encourage student voting

by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Clarion University now has
voter registration forms avail-
able as part of a new drive to
encourage higher voting
turnouts. This drive comes
after Congress passed a higher
education act which requires
all colleges receiving financial
aid to provide forms to stu-
dents so they can register to
vote.

If Clarion University does
not participate in this pro-

gram, then all Clarion students
will lose their eligibility for
federal financial aid.

Dr. George Curtis, Vice
President for Student Affairs,
said that he's not sure this pro-
gram will produce many new
voters. "I have the suspicion
that a lot of students are regis-
tered already," he said. Curtis
feels the main reason is that
now individuals can register to
vote while renewing their dri-
ver's licenses.

Curtis said he received the
forms a while ago, but

/ have the suspicion
that a lot of students are
registered already. §9

-Dr. George Curtis

Vice President of

Student Affairs

Clarion, like many other col-
leges, had already been work-
ing on implementing the pro-
gram. Previously voter regis-
tration drives were performed

on campus, but this will be the
first university wide drive.
Along with a mass e-mail that
has been sent out, more adver-
tisements will probably follow
in order to encourage students
to register to vote. Anyone
who does not register by May
10, will not be eligible to vote
in the upcoming elections.

The registration forms are
available at the information
desk in the Gemmell student

Greeks to host fun fest

by Leslie Suhr

Clarion Call

Managing Editor

The sororities and fraternities at
Clarion University will be partici-
pating in the Clarion Area Family
Fun Fair on Saturday, March 1 1 ,
2000 at the Clarion Area
Elementary School.

Members from the Greek sys-
tem will be taking part in the
event by working the food and
game booths. This is one of the
largest community service pro-
jects that is done by the Greek
community.

Phil Shinsky, President of the
Interfraternity Council, said t they
were approached by a representa-
tive from the school and asked if
the Greek community would be
willing to participate. There was
no available funding to pay peo-
ple to work the booths, and volun-
teers were needed to make the
event a continued success.
Sororities and fraternities have

helped with this cause in the past.
It was voted on by the
Interfraternity Council and the
Panhellenic Council to partici-
pate; each of the Greek chapters
will be sending five representa-
tives to the school. Eleven frater-
nities and nine sororities have
committed to this event.

"The Interfraternity Council
wants to do something good for
the community and show that the
Greeks aren't just the stereotypi-
cal troublemakers on campus,"
Shinsky said.

Robin Fillman, a member of the
committee at Clarion Area, said
that the PTO approached the
Greek system because of their
dedication in the past.

"The Greek system has helped
us so much in the past that we
wanted to approach them as a
whole group because it will give
them more recognition," she said.
"We have gotten a large
response from the college, and it's
great that students want to donate

their time. Sometimes the com-
munity doesn't recognize the
good that is done," she added.

Shinsky, a member of the
Sigma Pi Fraternity, said that most
of the projects that are done by the
Greek community go unnoticed.
"Most of the good we do on
campus, for example, the
Salvation Army drive, goes totally
unnoticed," he added.

This event gives the University
and the community a chance to
work together and have a success-
ful event for the children of
Clarion.

The volunteer fire company will
give truck tours, there will be dog
tricks, and the Dancer Studio will
be present.

Kids can visit the carnival from
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and enjoy the
games and foods. This fair is
sponsored by the Parent Teacher
Organization.

Curtis said he would like to

Two students stabbed

by Jeff Say

Clarion Call

Editor-in-Chief

According to Pennsylvania State
Police two Clarion students and a
third party were stabbed early
Saturday, February 19.

Michael Vislay and Jeremey
Earnheardt, both of Clarion, were
stabbed by Matthew Paul Clapper,
who is not a Clarion University
student, at the Alpha Chi Rho fra-
ternity house.

According to a press release
from the PSP, Vislay returned
home where there was a party. He
entered with his girlfriend, who
went to his bedroom while he
ended the party. While she was in
the bedroom she was approached
by Clapper, who came to the room
to see a puppy the girlfriend had.
Reportedly, Vislay entered the
room, asked Clapper for his name,
and ordered him out of his room.
A verbal confrontation took place;
Clapper pulled out a pocket knife
and attacked Vislay. At this time,
other fraternity brothers came to
the room and physically subdued

Clapper. One of the brothers
removed the knife from Clapper.

As Clapper was being taken
from the house he pulled another
knife, a second altercation ensued.
During the melee, Clapper cut
Earnheardt across the throat. The
fraternity brother who had confis-
cated Clapper's first knife then
stabbed Clapper with that knife.
Upon being stabbed Clapper
dropped his knife and exited the
building.

Fraternity brothers followed
Clapper outside and restrained
him until the State Police arrived.

The two victims drove them-
selves to the hospital where they
were treated and released for seri-
ous, but not life-threatening,
injuries. Clapper was also taken
to the Clarion Hospital where he
was treated and released.

Clapper was arraigned with
$75,000 straight bond and placed
in Clarion County Prison.

This case is still being investi-
gated, so no more details were
available at press time.

It's 6 o'clock at night and you (a Clarion stu-
dent) are ready to workout at the Rec Center, but
you've forgotten your student I.D., so you can't
even get into a building that you helped fund.

While the students pay $80 a semester and $160
a year, the community pays $75 a semester and
$150 a year. Do the students have more privileges
than the community? Not that we're aware of.
And if you don't have a valid ID or a friend with
a valid ID, you're not going to get in. Since when
has it been such a hassle to lift a free weight?

At Gemmell Snack Bar or Chandler Dining Hall
you can simply write down your name and social
security number and still get in. Why can't this be
done at the Rec Center? We understand that the
Rec Center is concerned about safety precautions,
and we commend that, but it shouldn't prevent
students from their privilege of working out since
they already pay for the services.

For the past four years students paid for a build-
ing that wasn't even there. Many students never
had the chance to workout in the Rec Center
before they graduated. Now the community gets
the chance to workout in a campus located facili-
ty.

We must also take into consideration those few

students who meander in and who do not have
their ID. Also consider the students who do not
want the hassle of having to find a friend to escort
them in and then have to pay a dollar.

Do you really think these students are going to
return?

Your Views

Student wishes Bush would disappear

I am a Republican, but I'm going to commit trea-
son by admitting that I don't like George W. Bush. In
fact, not since David Duke brought his ghost cos-
tume to the Grand Old Party have I hoped a politician
would disappear.

I have had a couple of experiences with Bush and
his camp that have soured me on his mission to
become our next president. They have little to do
with the finer points of his platform — but they
speak mountains about this man, and the people he's
chosen to surround himself with.

A few days before leaving to report on the New
Hampshire primary, I called Bush's campaign head-
quarters to get his weekly itinerary. After being
transferred to everyone except the lady who folds his
underwear, I was connected with an arrogant man
who laughed when I asked for Bush's schedule. In a
condescending manner, he explained that Bush's
schedule changes frequently and that I could get it
via e-mail.

It was no big deal that the schedule was unavailable
— but what I found particularly galling was that this
"media relations" expert ridiculed me — a student
reporter at a large university who was aiming to relay

information about Bush to a voting, student audi-
ence.

Once in New Hampshire, I went to a made-for-
media event in Nashua, N.H., bowling alley. Bush
was scheduled to be there to bowl a few frames, kiss
babies, pose for pictures and move on. My goal was
to ask him — and every other presidential candidate
in town for the primaries — if he had a message for
college students.

Given the earlier responses I had gotten from John
McCain, Allan Keyes and Bill Bradely, I figured
things would go smoothly with Bush. McCain made
what appeared to be a heartfelt plea for young people
to get involved in his campaign. He promised to give
us, the youth of America, a presidency we could be
proud of. Keyes walked with me and talked about
the important roles in national politics college stu-
dents would play if he were elected president. Bill
Bradely stopped and gave a well rehearsed, yet well
intentioned, 30- second monologue about the impor-
tance of young people getting involved.

On a high from those experiences, I approached
Bush outside the bowling alley, away from other

The Sequelle has
been a tradition at
Clarion University for
91 years."

Douglas Haskins

The Extinction of the Yearbooks

In our advanced technological
world the need for printed materi-
al has met its last stand. With the
advent of the internet and elec-
tronic storage, the need for print-
ed text and images is quickly
becoming obsolete. The tradi-
tional forms of books and period-
icals are readily being replaced by
the multimedia computer. The
yearbook, the primary historical
record for many colleges and uni-
versities, is not spared from this
extinction.

In the past few years, many uni-
versities have discontinued issu-
ing their yearbooks due to cost
and a lack of interest. Indiana,
Slippery Rock, East Stroudsburg,
and Mansfield Universities are
just a few yearbook programs that
have died in the State System of
Higher Education. The loss of
these books creates a void in the
history of these institutions.

Clarion University's yearbook
program, The Sequelle, is no dif-
ferent from that of any other state
school. The lack of student inter-
est plus the enormous cost of pro-
ducing the printed yearbook may
have affected the future of The
Sequelle. The yearbook staff at
Clarion, as well as other staffs
throughout the State System, hang
in limbo each year waiting for the
wrath of technology to discontin-

ue their publication.

The Sequelle has been a tradi-
tion at Clarion University for 91
years. Initially, it was printed as
the yearbook for the Clarion State
Normal School. Over the years,
as Clarion expanded, The
Sequelle has grown to become the
historical record for Clarion
University of Pennsylvania.

The only time the yearbook was
endangered was in 1934, during
the Great Depression. Dr. G.C. L.
Riemer, Clarion State College's
President at that time, authorizing
the scarce funding for the book
through the Student Senate to
make sure The Sequelle was
printed.

The yearbook is not just photos
and words published in a docu-
ment. It is a living commentary
on a place and time that can never
be revisited. It records the
thoughts, personalities, and
morals not only of the authors but
of the people who appear in the
book. Not unlike an archeologist
uncovering the mysteries of the
human past, the reader of a year-
book can gain understanding into
a world that preceded them. In
this light, the yearbook is not cre-
ated solely for the individuals
who appear in the yearbook, but it

Editorial

"The Presidents! race is

one of the few races
that people do know the

issues.

»>

J.P. Kenney, Sports Editor

Well it's that time of year
again as candidates jockey for
voters. I, for one, will not be
one of the many who are at the
polls come November 2nd vot-
ing for our next President of the
United States. You might ask
yourself why? Every vote
counts.

I agree that every vote does
count. But how could someone
such as myself vote when I
don't know anything about the
candidates. Now let me tell
you, if I knew everything they
stood for I would be the first
one to cast my ballot.

I think too many times in
today's society people vote just
to vote. They don't know any-
thing about the candidates they
are just picking who they like.
For instance last year in
Minnesota Jesse "The Body"
Ventura was voted as the
Governor of that state. How
many people do you think
voted on just knowing his name
from his days as a professional
wrestler in the WWF. I'm sure
it was quite a lot. Was that fair
to the person who was running
against him, I think not.

If I was forced to vote in the
upcoming Pennsylvania prima-
ry I would vote for Bill
Bradley. You know why I
would vote for him? For one
reason, he played professional
basketball for the New York
Knicks. I would recognize his
name and pick him. I would be
picking him without knowing
his stand on any of the issues;
the issues that are now lost in
elections today. It's all about
hype and publicity.

The Presidental race is one of
the few races that people do
know the issues. Think about
all those smaller seats that are
up for grabs. Do you know
what these candidates stand
for? I doubt most of you do.

But if you are a person who
knows what the canidates are
running for office, then it is
positive you vote. I don't dis-
courage anyone who is confi-
dent in their vote.

Vote if you know what is
going on. Don't vote if your're
picking names randomly which
I'm sure people have done
before. It's not fair to you or

towards getting into that position.

The bottom line I am getting at, is if you are like me and have
no general interest in politics, don't vote. There are many people
out there interested in who is running. Let these people make the
choices. I think this will prove to provide more qualified people
getting into office. I believe this is one good reason not to vote.

Vanishing Hifestyles Editor takes a humorous look at the
presidental race, from Page 4.

Ummmrnm...okay, moving on we
have Bill Gate's incredibly dorky
twin, Stephen Forbes. Seriously,
this guy is the biggest loser in the
world. I mean, he looks like he has-
n't gotten laid in a longer time than
I have... oops. He'd spend high-
level meetings with foreign minis-
ters of state by role-playing to Star
Trek ("Eat my photon, Klingon
scum!!!"). C'mon, this guy was a
host on SNL, for crying out loud.
Just because he can plan out a
Dungeons and Dragons strategy
doesn't mean he can budget the
country.

Finally, we have.. .ME!! No, I'm
serious - aside from the obvious
problems with it, why not? My
platform is "Who Wants to Stone
Regis Philbin With Koosh Balls?"
My first action as leader of the free
world would be to deport everyone
who has appeared on Total Request

Live , except for Carson Daly, who
would be strapped down a' la
Clockwork Orange and forced to
watch every video he's ever pimped
over and over until he relents and
agrees to become the host of an
annoying game show, "Who Wants
to be a Sell-Out," because I'll need
another lame running gag by then.

pretty stupid-looking, too.

is a record for people to rediscover a time and place that was purposefully captured in the pages of a book.

The pressure to utilize new technologies and abandon old ways of viewing information have endangered
all printed material. The yearbook's purpose is to record the present to make it available for the future. If
the yearbooks were forced to produce a CD-ROM or DVD version of its publication, in 25 years, who will
be able to view its contents? What new forms of multimedia and data storage will be created? The infor-
mation recorded by these multimedia yearbooks will be lost forever through the evolution of technology.

Even with remarkable ability to record campus life over the years, The Sequelle and all of the yearbooks
in the State System, have a gloomy future. This year's yearbook theme, "All the Same, but Totally
Different," encourages a reunion with the splendor of years past at Clarion, and anticipates that The Sequelle
once again be the principle reflection of college life. Without the support of the students, faculty and alum-
ni, this tradition will be lost forever. The 1934 staff of The Sequelle said it best ..."it is not just another annu-
al, but a piece from the very heart of the alma mater."

With a scowl on his face, he gently pushed me away and

So there you go, classmates and friends, that's Bush's

Master plan outlined

by A. A. Thompson

Clarion Call

Assistant News Editor

Dr. Bill Buchanan, associate
professor of Library Sciences
and chair of Institutional
Resources, outlined the Master
Plan for renovation projects on
campus at the Monday Faculty
Senate meeting.

The plan submitted is as fol-
lows:

* Harvey Hall is scheduled to
be completed in May for the

Psychology and Women's
Studies Deparments.

* The final design for Carlson

Library was given to the
Department of General
Services as well as a fund-
ing request letter.
* Renovations of Davis Hall
should be completed this
month.

* The Pierce Science Center's

replacement is top priority
for the 2000-2001 Capital
Request.
Other projects being explored
for the future is the Moore Hall
renovation, new residence hall
construction, and campus land-
scaping.

Completed renovations and
projects include: the Rec
Center; the ground floor of
Becht Hall; and Payne Street
improvements, featuring a cul-
de-sac, new lighting, and walk-
ways.

Renovations for Founders Hall
and Keeling Health Center were
also completed for the
Communication Sciences and
Disorders Department.

In other business, President
Diane Reinhard said that the
Athletic Department held a ban-
quet honoring 99 athletes with
exceptional scholastic records.
The athletes had to have a 3.2 or
higher for two consecutive
semesters.

Dr. Brian Dunn, of the History
Department, was presented with
the Faculty Member of the Year
award at the banquet.

Dr. Mary Jo Reef, associate
professor of Political Science,
Sociology, and Philosophy,
questioned President Reinhard
as to whether the University
would respond to an article that
appeared in The Derrick. The
article discussed how most col-
lege students fail to graduate in
four years.

Reinhard stated that the statis-
tics which are used to measure
graduation ratios often don't
consider important factors, like
financial aid, double majors,
and credit possibilties.
Reinhard went on to say that the
article would be a topic of dis-
cussion at Tuesday's Leadership
Team meeting.

Dr. Ralph Leary, associate pro-
fessor of English and chairman
of Faculty Senate, expressed his
concern for the recent stabbing
that took place at the Alpha Chi
Rho house over the weekend.
Reinhard also expressed her
deepest concern over student
safety.

Dani Jo Close, Student Senate
Representative, said Senate
elections for next fall are
approaching. Election applica-
tions now need 75 student signa-
tures and two letters of recom-
mendation.

In new business, Beverly
Smaby developed a plan to cor-
rect a Y2K glitch that was dis-
covered over Christmas break.

April 29, 2000 is scheduled as
Alumni Weekend, said Dr.
Hallie Savage, associate profes-
sor of Communication Sciences
and Disorders.

Rec Center's policies questioned

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

The Student Facilities
Committee chair, Senator Bill
Isbir, has scheduled a meeting
with Dave Tomeo to discuss the
rumor of student athletes receiv-
ing preference in the new Rec
Center at Monday night's Student
Senate meeting.

Senators were concerned that
athletes and community members
are receiving more benefits than
regular enrolled students. Many
Senators questioned not being
able to use some facilities in the
Rec Center due to a sport team
using it.
"I would also like to know why

community members pay $5.00
less per semester than students to
use a facility that we as students
have been paying for, for three
years," said Treasurer Brian
Sowa.

Currently students pay $80.00 a
semester for a Rec Center fee,
while community members and
employees of the university can
purchase a pass for $75.00.

Senator Jen Mathis said that
applications for next year's Senate
can be picked up in the Student
Senate office in 269 Gemmell.
The application with 75 signitures
and two letters of recommenda-
tion are due back Friday, March
17.

$3,468 was allocated from the
Supplemental Account for the
Dance Team to assist them in pay-
ing for registration for the
National Dance Association
Collegiate Nationals.

The Financial Management
Association was allocated $2,350
from the Supplemental Reserve
Account for a National
Conference in Chicago.

In other Appropriations news,
Treasurer Sowa read the latest
account totals, prior to the allocar-
tions which were approved during
the meeting. There is $85,263.19
in the Capital Account and
$262,341.97 in the Large Item
Capital Account.

Clarion Students' Association Board of Directors

Student rep. to be named

by Jeff A. Say

The Clarion Students'
Association Board of Directors
announced that interviews for the
student-at-large postion on the
Board are currently being held. An
announcement will be made by
the end of the week as to the new
member.

It was reported that the research
to move the University Bookstore
site on the Clarion website is mak-
ing progress. It has been consid-
ered to list the site on the home
page and find a more accessabile
spot on the web page itself.

Mr. Lee Krull, CSA Business
Manager contacted six different
law firms in the search for a

of the firms returned his calls. He
also looked into other State

had a lawyer on retainer. IUP used
to pay $600 for a retainer but now
pay $75 and hour. Slippery Rock
pays $40 an hour if a lawyer is
needed. They are not on retainer.

The Board also discussed the
Ticket Procedure Policy and rec-
ommended that the policy needs
to go into more detail on who is
authorized on signing-off on the
tickets.

The Book Center committee
met with Ed Biertempfel to dis-
cuss the two percent increase in
sales at the Book Center.
Concerns were brought up dealing
with the new Clarion class ring
and it was confirmed that it is
licensed through Jostens.

The Game Room/Coffee Shop
committee announced that some
things still need finished and that
furniture should be here in a cou-
ple of weeks. It was also deter-
mined that profits made at the

Coffee Shop go to the Food
Service Auxiliary. It was men-
tioned that it cost an extra $560 a
week to keep the Coffee Shop
open later.

The Game Room/Coffee Shop
committee will now be known as
the Coffee Shop committee, as the
Game Room is being made into
storage for books from the Library
since Carlson will be under con-
struction. As of May 1, all ven-
dors must have their machines
removed from the room.

Student Trustee Naqeeb Hussain
expressed concern over the
Becker Computer lab hours being
cut back until 10 pm from mid-
night.. He said that after meeting
with Dr. Reinhard, she said that
funding will be available to keep it
open until midnight after break.

The next Board meeting will be
on March 14, at 5:00 p.m.

Clarion Call Business Manager

The Accounting Club advisor
for the last 16 years, Dr. Charles
Pineno, stepped down effective
January 2000.

Mrs. Susan Patton will Jake
over as advisor of the Accounting
Club beginning this semester.

Patton is a part-time member of
the accounting department.

She is an alumni of Clarion
University, graduating with a
degree in accounting, and is now
a Certified Public Accountant.

She has taught part-time for the
University over the years, and is
teaching Accounting Problems
during the last five weeks of this

semester.

The Accounting Club is one of
the largest student organizations
within the College of Business
Administration. The Club spon-
sors several meetings throughout
the semester, which help students
with career planning and devel-
opment skills through the use of
lectures, speakers, and presenta-

tions.

Often times, Clarion University
accounting alumni are invited to
speak about the success of their
careers in their field. The
Accounting Club also holds an
annual banquet to recognize stu-
dents and scholarships, and they
have always taken a field trip to
an accounting firm in the past.

Currently, the club is organiz-
ing and participating in a com-
munity service program called
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
(VITA).

The tax session is in full swing
until April 15, and VITA is help-
ing all residents get through what
is for most a very confusing
ordeal: filing their income tax
return.

VITA is under the direction of
Patton, who has directed the pro-
gram for several years now.

The VITA program consists of
about 20 volunteer junior and
senior accounting majors who
have completed or are enrolled in
ACTG353: Federal Taxes.

VITA is provided for the elder-
ly and lower-income residents of
Clarion and the surrounding
areas.

In the past, the program has
been held at the Clarion Free
Library, and the returns were
done on paper forms and all cal-
culations were done manually by
the students and Patton.

With today's emerging technol-
ogy, VITA is now done at the
Clarion Area High School
Business Lab, and the returns are
prepared using professional com-
puterized tax preparation soft-
ware.

The computers add many bene-
fits to VITA. It is now easier for
the students to prepare the
returns, more accurate and pro-
fessional returns are processed,
and there is less waiting time for
the clients.

The accounting majors at VITA
will provide volunteer services in
preparing federal income tax
returns (1040, 1040A, or
1040EZ), and Pennsylvania state
returns (PA-40), as well as local
tax forms.

VITA does not prepare complex
returns such as capital gains,
businesses, corporations, or
estates.

VITA is available on Monday
evenings from 6-8 p.m., and on
Saturday mornings from 10 a.m.
until noon. The program is held
in the Clarion High School locat-
ed on Liberty Street.

February 24, 2000

Community service is debated

by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Clarion University's Debate
team addressed the issue of hav-
ing to complete 40 hours of com-
munity service in order to gradu-
ate. This was debated this past
Tuesday, February 15 at Hart
Chapel.

In favor of this additional grad-
uation requirement were senior
Allison Rilling and sophomore
Andrew Barnes. On the opposing
side were sophomores Courtney
Morton and Scott O'Donnell.

Throughout the debate, each
member was able to voice their
opinion and then answer challeng-
ing questions offered by the audi-
ence.

According to Rilling,
"Volunteering helps put things in
perspective." She pointed out that
all people require help from some-
one, and by helping others, stu-
dents are given the opportunity for
self-exploration.

She feels that since the universi-
ty does not require the completion
of community service hours, stu-
dents are not truly being given a
chance to do their part. Rilling
figures that 40 total hours would

divide into just 10 hours a year.

In order for this plan to work,
funding would have to be provid-
ed by the state. While admitting
that transportation might be a con-
cern for some students, Rilling
does not see it as too risky of a
problem that the university should
not enforce this requirement.

Teammate Andrew Barnes
agrees with Rilling, appioaching
the issue from a more ethical
standpoint. He raised the ques-
tion, "Do we really want to be the
type of people who aren't willing
to help?"

He feels that volunteering will
make students develop into better
people. He points out that all 40
hours need not be completed in
just one year.

In fact, service can even be per-
formed at home during semester
breaks. Also, he addresses the
possibility of a student transfer-
ring to Clarion as a senior.

Barnes feels that the University
would waive this requirement to
accommodate certain instances
like this one. He also mentioned
the fact that high school students
looking at Clarion may lose inter-
est after hearing about this

requirement.

However, Barnes does not even
want to be involved with people
who do not, "...Feel compelled to
volunteer on moral standards."

On the other end of the spectrum
is Morton, who feels that there are
too many factors weighing against
this proposal. She began her
debate by pointing out that some
students carry 18 credits, partici-
pate in extra-curricular activities,
and hold part-time jobs.

By requiring 10 hours per year
to be spent doing community ser-
vice, that may be too much for
students. She raised the question
of which type of service would
count toward graduation.

In her opinion, forcing students
to volunteer would only hurt
enrollments as well as the com-
munity. An additional factor
addressed by Morton is whether
the University should hire more
staff for the Community Service
Department of if volunteering
should become an individual class
requirement.

Further opposing this issue was
O'Donnell, who automatically
shot down the idea that requiring
students to complete community

service hours provides enormous
educational benefits.

To him, this does not prepare
students for adulthood. Instead, it
reflects a negative attitude on the
students, the whole university, and
on community service in general.
While opportunities for commu-
nity service should be readily
available through the school,
"Telling a student you HAVE to,
undermines the meaning of volun-
teer."

At the end of the debate, Dr.
Anand Rao, associate professor of
Speech Communication and
Theatre and debate team advisor,
asked the audience to vote on this
issue.

The majority of people sided
with Morton and O'Donnell,
opposing the 40-hour community
service requirement.

Adding to Clarion University

and O'Donnell recently competed

Do you have a Ramen noodle

Students have been talking about
it since the first week of the spring
semester. Mice are colonizing the
dorms, particularly Tanger and
Hull Halls. Apparently, their
favorite treat is dry, packaged
noodles.

Erica Kunkle, resident of Tanger
Hall, is one of the victims. Kunkle
said that when the exterminators
finally showed up, they put one
cardboard trap on the heater.

Chancellor urges committee to support request

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor

The State System of Higher
Education, Chancellor James H.
McCormick, urged members of
the Senate Appropriations
Committee to support the
System's 2000-2001 appropria-
tions request as an investment in
the Commonwealth's future.

The System is seeking a state
appropriation of $455.1 million
next year to help fund the opera-
tions of the 14 state-owned uni-
versities.

This is an increase of $17.5 mil-
lion, or 4 percent increase of the
current state appropriation.

"In order for Pennsylvania to
remain strong, all of us must keep
working together," McCormick
said.

"The appropriations request
before you should not be viewed
simply, but as an investment in
our Commonwealth's economy
and in its failure," said
McCormick in remarks to the
committee.

In a response to provide high
quality education, McCormick
said that students who are seniors
today are paying only $250 more
in tuition than he or she paid as a
freshman.

The current annual tuition rate
for students attending a state sys-
tem school is $3,618 for in-state
residents. This is the lowest annu-
al cost for students attending a
state-owned university in
Pennsylvania.

The appropriation that is needed
by the State System is to enable
the universities to continue to

offer the unique combination of
quality and affordability.

Half of the State System's fund-
ing comes from the state and the
rest comes from student tuition
and fees.

Governor Tom Ridge proposed
a $13.1 million, or 3 percent,
increase for the State System next
year. The legislature and the
Governor will determine the final
budget figures.

Since January 1999, 17 new pro-
grams have been developed by
various campuses in a number of
emerging fields.

"These programs have been
established in such areas as phar-
maceutical product development,
forensic science, information
technology, international busi-
ness, applied statistics, and com-
puter data analysis and allied

health," McCormick said.

"Many more innovative pro-
grams are in the development
stages now, in areas including
biotechnology and electrical engi-
neering technology."

The state will also seek a sepa-
rate $2 million for continued
enhancement of programs in sci-
ence advanced technology.

Special request items integrat-
ing information systems that
would be shared by all universi-
ties include:

* social equity initiatives

* the PA Academy for the
Profession of Teaching

* the Labor Education Institute
and the McKeever Environmental
Learning Center.

Dr. William Buchanan,
Associate Professor of Library
Science at Clarion University,
will present a paper titled 'The
Literary Career of Socar
Micheaux" at the annual meeting
of the National Association of
African-American Studies in
Houston on Thursday, February
24.

According to Buchanan,
Micheaux is well known in cine
ma circles at the "Father of Race
Films," a label he earned as a
result of developing all-black
cast films. Micheaux began pro-
ducing silent films in the second
decade of the 20th century, and
shifted over to 'talkies" with the
advent of film sound.

His innovation grew up in
response to Hollywood's refusal
to grant African-Americans any
thing more than secondary status
and the exclusion of African-
American patrons from most
movie houses. "So Micheaux
began making films with all-
Black casts which played in the-
atres catering primarily to
African-American audiences,"
said Buchanan. "Most of the
films were shot on a shoestring
budget and were of marginal util-
ity by today's standards ,*' he said,
*'but for their day they were inno-
vative and mtmdced the world to
such talents as Paul Robeson,
who made his film debut in
Meeheaux's 'Body and Soul >**'

The focus of Buchanan's paper
will be Micheaux's little known
career as a novelist and Dakota
frontiersman. "Most of his films
were actually based on his nqv
els, wliich were based on his life
as a farmer oh the Dakota iron
tier," said Buchanan.

Lifestyles

Into the Woods stumbles on its roots

by Jeff Chaffee

Clarion Call

Assistant Lifestyles Editor

There are lots of plays out
there. I mean, let's be honest;
if there weren't we'd be sub-
jected to endless reruns of
Glass Menagerie, Our Town,
and Oklahoma!. The diversity
is, as we can see, a good thing.

Clarion's theatre department
has, in the two years I've been
here, always shown a spectac-
ular range of plays. From
Steve Marin comedies (last
year's superb Picasso at the
Lapin Agile) to Shakespeare
(last semester's equally excel-
lent Measure for Measure), we
Golden Eagles get a taste of
just about everything.

For the annual spring musi-
cal, we were in for a treat - a
trip back to our kiddie years in
Steven Sondheim's Into the
Woods, a creative retelling and

interweaving of three infa-
mous fairy tales. Featuring a
wonderfully entertaining and
highly professional cast,
...Woods starts off easily
enough, with the audience
being brought up to speed on
the evening's stories (by
Narrator Christopher Ritz).

Cinderella (up-and-coming
freshman Katie Kerr) relates
her pre-ball woes as her sisters
and stepmother (Laura Crago,
Danielle Garman, and Laura
Reichert, respectively) taunt
her.

Jack (Trevor Southworth),
sporting technicolor hair,
bemoans having to sell his
beloved cow Milky White
while his mother (another up-
and-comer, Miranda Scopel)
scoots him on his way to the
market.

The Baker and his Wife
(Christopher Taylor and
Kristie Leigh Belles) consult

their neighbor witch (the spec-
tacular Seana Simon) as to
how they can break a curse
upon their house, as Little Red
Riding Hood (the hilarious
Mickey Truman) stocks up for
her trip to Grandma's.

Jokes and catchy tunes were
aplenty as each character finds
themselves traveling through
the woods to their respective
destinies. Everyone's paths
cross numerous times and as
the first act closes, everyone
has gotten their wish. Great
fun, huh? But then the second
act comes rolling - no grind-
ing, though.

I want to say here that I
can't fault the cast for what
happened next. They did their
absolute best to get through
the comparatively weak sec-
ond act and pulled it off
superbly. But Sondheim, oh
Sondheim, shame on you.
What could have been a

poignant way to reflect on the
true meaning of the charac-
ter's wishes from Act 1 was
mutated into a boring, song-
saturated second act.

At times the action on stage
just seemed to be random junk
(my apologies to Snow White
and Sleeping Beauty - again,
the script's fault rather than
the director's) presented to,
well, I can't even say why.

Overall, it was a good night

out, though. Into the Woods
may be a good show for the
young crowd, but be sure to
bring a handful of Ritalin
Crunchies so the kiddies stay
put through the last part of the
play. Kudos to a wonderful
cast, and to the many unseen
(and sometimes seen) behind-
the-scenes folks who took us
right into the world of fairies

and wishes come true.

The Whole 9 Yards needs 'whacked'

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

There's a big difference
between actors and movie stars.
Actors try to widen their range,
constantly taking different
roles so as not to become type-
cast. Stars play the same char-
acter over and over until audi-
ences finally wise up and stop
going to see their films (which
is one of the reasons Sylvester
Stallone's having trouble get-
ting people to return his calls
these days).

Robert DeNiro is an actor.
Ben Affleck is a star. Susan
Sarandon is an actor. Will
Smith is a star. For a clear-cut
example of that theory in prac-
tice, go see the new film The
Whole 9 Yards, which clearly

shows that Bruce Willis is, first
and foremost, an actor, while
co-star Matthew Perry
is. ..Chandler. That's not neces-
sarily a bad thing, since Perry's
sarcastic delivery and physical
comedy are the best parts of a
pleasant, intermittently enjoy-
able film. In fact, without the

talents of Perry and Willis, ...9
Yards would have been flatter
than a mafia stooge thrown out

of a 12th story window.

...9 Yards opens in Montreal,
Quebec with Perry's character,
a dentist named "Oz"
Oseransky, going through a
typically miserable day in his
life. Oz desperately wants to
escape his money-grubbing
wife (Rosanna Arquette), who
refuses to grant him a divorce
until he pays off the enormous
debts left behind by her late
father. So it's off to work at the
dentist's office, where Oz's
secretary (Amanda Peet) con-
stantly badgers him to divorce
his wife and get on with his
life.

Oz's fortunes change when he
arrives home and meets his
next-door neighbor, Jimmy
Jones (Willis), whom he imme-

Fiona Apple is a bad date, but good musician

by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

Hey, all you guys out there -
you may have done it all for the
"nookie," but now the nookie's
back, and pissed as hell. And
she's here to smash a grand
piano over your chauvinistic
skull. Fiona Apple's sophomore
release, (get ready - take a deep
breath) When The Pawn Hits The
Conflict He Thinks Like A King
What He Knows Throws The
Blows When He Goes To The
Fight And He'll Win The Whole
Thing 'Fore He Enters The Ring
There 's No Body To Batter When
Your Mind Is Your Might So
When You Go Solo, You Hold
Your Own Hand And Remember
That Depth Is The Greatest Of
Heights And If You Know Where
You Stand, Then You Know
Where To Land And If You Fall It
Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know
That You're Right (yes, that's
really the title), is one of the

year's most confrontational and
captivating efforts.

Every place where Apple's
debut. Tidal, stumbled, When
The Pawn... treads with absolute
assurance. While Tidal was bril-
liant in spots, When The Pawn...
is a broad masterstroke of virtu-
oso. Here, Apple delivers off-
kilter emotional pop of the high-
est order. She may think that
"this world is bulls***", to quote
her MTV speech, but this album
certainly isn't.

Working with L.A. cult-hero
Jon Brion, Apple's new album
sports a much broader musical
palette, as it is painted not only
with majestic and sweeping
pianos, but also with torch-burn-
ing jazz textures, bizarre carni-
valesque noises, and most impor-
tantly, more up-front rock beats
and production. "Criminal" was
TidaTs best track, a brooding
piece of rollicking self-depreca-
tion, and much of When The
Pawn... duplicates that vibe, only

more mature.

The opening track, "On The
Bound," is typical of the album's
tone, with deep-kicking bass,
rich piano, and Apple's simply
holy voice. It's impossible to
believe she's not even 25 years
old when singing angst-ridden
lines like "Please forgive me for

my distance; the shame is mani-
fest in my resistance to your
love," in the tumultuous "To
Your Love." The album's first
highlight is "Limp," in which

Apple chastises an abusive lover
by countering "It won't be long
before you're lying limp in your
own hand." How's the Bizkit
now?

As far as lyrics go, the album is
an open wound; a sore that won't
scab over, perpetually oozing
blood and tears. Not to mention,
filled with disturbing sexual
imagery. Apple doesn't just
blame significant others, though.
In "A Mistake," she boldly
croons "I'm gonna f*** it up
again, I'm gonna do another
detour," while wailing guitar
feedback gurgles around her.
Muted percussion, a lurching
piano riff, and deceptively boun-
cy woodwinds frame When The
Pawn.-.'s best track, "Fast As
You Can." Another self-blame
song, Apple warns a lover that,
"My pretty mouth will frame the
phrases that will disprove your
faith in man" and "fast as you
can, baby scratch me out, free
yourself." It's musical heroin-

fatally dangerous, with an attrac-
tive sheen; and addictive as hell.
Being in love with Apple's music
is fun, but being in love her
might not be.

Other songs, such as the vin-
dictive "Get Gone" and "The
Way Things Are" just keep the
layered musical brilliance com-
ing, and the album's closer, "I
Know," is a bone-chilling slice
of icy emotion that ends the
album on an unsettling note.
"You can use my skin to bury
secrets in" just gets more
unnerving with each listen.

All in all, When The Pawn...
hits harder than an army of
drunken Fred Dursts and is more
emotionally intense than a thou-
sand torrid love affairs. On my
5-star scale, Apple receives a full
5. Pat Benetar may have told us
that "Love is a Battlefield," but
Apple thrusts the rifle into your
hands; daring you to pull the

trigger. Bang.

9 Yards! A review of the new Bruce Willis/Matthew Perry
film, The Whole 9 Yards, from Page 10.

he immediately recognizes as
Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski, a
former Chicago hit-man who
was recently released from jail.
Although Oz wants nothing
more than to move away and
leave his problematic new

neighbor behind, his wife tells
him that if he flies to Chicago
and rats out Jimmy the Tulip
he'll most likely be given a
"finder's fee" by the mob boss.
Second, that "finder's fee" will
probably allow Oz to pay off the

debts owed by his wife's father
so his wife will finally give him
a divorce.

Along his journey, Oz runs
into a number of colorful char-
acters, including a mob enforcer
(Michael Clarke Duncan from

The Green Mile) on the hunt for
Jimmy, a mafia boss with a
bizarre speech impediment
(Kevin Pollock), and Jimmy's
beautiful wife, Cynthia (Natasha
Henstridge). A series of double-

more confused than ever about
his marrige, his friendship with
Jimmy, and even the sanity of
his off-the-wall secretary.

So is ...9 Yards funny?
Sometimes. Entertaining? Most
of the time. As a whole, mafia
comedies are starting to run out
of steam, but ...9 Yards hangs in
there due to the conflicting per-
sonalities of its two leads.
Problem is, there isn't much
material for either to work with.
Most of the characters are one-
dimensional and the dialogue
lacks any edge. Perry's pratfalls
manage to squeeze a few laughs
out of a few scenes, despite the
interference of the film's some-
what flat script.

Willis and company might be
trying their best, but they can't
keep ...9 Yards from becoming
the latest continuation of
Matthew Perry's unremarkable
string of light romantic come-
dies. Don't worry about Willis,
he'll rebound from this dud and
go on to make at least a few
more blockbusters. As for
Perry, let's hope that this season
of Friends doesn't conclude
with an episode titled, "The One

Flop."

War on smoking has room for more lawyers

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer

Just when you think the War on
Smoking cannot possibly get any
more entertaining, up pops a new
batch of lawyers to save the day.

Before I tell you about the lat-
est legal wrinkle, let's review the
key points in the War on Smoking
so far:

POINT ONE: Cigarettes are
evil, because smokers smoke
them and consequently become
sick or dead.

POINT TWO: The tobacco
companies are evil, because they
make and sell cigarettes.

POINT THREE: Therefore, in
1998 there was a big settlement
under which the tobacco compa-
nies, by way of punishment for
making and selling cigarettes,
agreed to pay more than $200 bil-
lion to 46 states and numerous
concerned lawyers.

POINT FOUR: The tobacco
companies are paying for this set-
tlement by making and selling
cigarettes as fast as humanly pos-
sible.

POINT FIVE: At the time of
the settlement, the states loudly
declared that they would use the

money for programs to eliminate
smoking, which is evil.

POINT SIX: Perhaps you
believe that the states are actually
using the money for this purpose.

POINT SEVEN: You moron.

POINT EIGHT: In fact, so far,
the states are spending more than
90 percent of the tobacco-settle-
ment on programs unrelated to
smoking, such as building high-
ways.

POINT NINE: This is good,
because we need highways to
handle the sharp increase in the
number of Mercedes automobiles
purchased by lawyers enriched
by the tobacco settlement.

So, to boil these points down to
a single sentence: The War on
Smoking currently is a program
under which states build high-
ways using money obtained
through the sale of cigarettes. Is
everybody clear on that?

Good! Now let's move on to
the entertaining new wrinkle. It
seems that a new batch of
lawyers, who were not involved
in the original tobacco litigation,
has been pondering the 1998 set-
tlement, and they have come to
the conclusion that it has a very
serious legal flaw, namely: They

are not getting any of the money.
Ha ha! That was a joke, and I
will instruct the jury to disregard
it. The new lawyers are in fact
unhappy because they believe the
tobacco settlement unfairly
leaves
out a
group of
victims
who
deserve a
hefty
share of
t h e
money.
And
those vic-
tims are:
smokers.
That's
right:
Smokers,
without
whom

there would not even BE a tobac-
co settlement, are not getting a
piece of the pie! So the new
lawyer batch believe that billions
of dollars of the tobacco settle-
ment should go to smokers who
receive Medicaid for illnesses
that they have suffered as a result
of smoking.

I realize this sounds complicat-
ed, so let's break it down the way
the cash would flow if these new
lawsuits are successful:

1. SMOKERS would give
money to THE TOBACCO
COMPA-
NIES in
exchange
for ciga-
rettes.

2. THE
TOBACCO
COMPA-
NIES would
then give the
money to
THE
STATES
(and their
lawyers).

3. THE
STATES
would then
give the

money to SMOKERS (and their
lawyers).

4. THE SMOKERS would then
presumably give the money to
THE TOBACCO COMPANIES
in exchange for more cigarettes.

Perhaps you're thinking: Isn't
this inefficient? Why not elimi-
nate the middle steps and simply

require tobacco companies to
give cigarettes to smokers for
free?

The trouble with that idea is that
it would defeat the two main pur-
poses of the War on Smoking,
which are ( 1) to provide the states
with money; and (2) to provide
lawyers with, well, money. And
this would be an especially cruel
time to take the War on Smoking
money away from the American
lawsuit industry, which already
suffered a devastating setback
recently when the Y2K computer
glitch, tragically, failed to be dis-
astrous.

So we should not be critical of
the way our political and legal
leaders are waging the War on
Smoking.

They have proved once again
that this great nation, with its
"can-do" attitude, can take any
problem, no matter how sad and
hopeless it seems, and figure out
a way to turn it into increased
Mercedes sales. Although I do
not mean to cynically suggest
that the only beneficiaries of the
War on Smoking are luxury-car
dealerships. Lear jets are also

selling well.

of three sisters taking care
of their dying father. Diane
Keaton, Meg Ryan, and Lisa
Kudrow play the sisters
who are as different as
night and day.

The typical three-child
lifestyle is definitely in
effect here. Georgia

(Keaton) is the oldest with
all the glory and affection
of her father. Maddie
(Kudrow) is the baby and
tries her hardest to be
admired by her older sis-
ters. Eve (Ryan) is the
middle child and has all the
hang-ups and the ability to
mediate that is associated
with the middle child syn-
drome.

When their father goes
into the hospital, all three
put their lives on hold to
take care of him. For the
first time in a while, these
sisters come together once
again, learn things about
each other, and come to
love each other more and
more.

Hanging Up leaves audi-
ence members laughing,

crying, and relating to
everything in the film. The
acting is wonderful and this
chick flick is definitely
worth even the price of an
evening movie ticket.
Hanging Up is what every-
one feels at one point or
another in their lives, put
into a two hour movie.
Take your friends, your sis-
ters or your parents, and go

see and enjoy this movie.

Lisa Kudrow in Hanging Up.

Men's basketball has streak stopped at 1 1 games

by Jonathan Shatter
Clarion Call Staff Writer

After squeaking out a 70-68 win
over Slippery Rock University
Wednesday, February 16, atTippin
Gym, the Clarion University
men's basketball team fell prey to
IUP, losing 85-63 Friday, February
19, at Tippin.

The Golden Eagles (19-6 over-
all) had their 11 -game winning
streak snapped by the Indians (17-
6) and fell to second place in the
division. A win would have given
Clarion a home playoff game.

"It's very disappointing,"
Clarion coach Ron Righter said.
"It's a lesson in humility. We've
been riding high for a long time.
IUP beat us in every facet of the
game. They came here and man-
handled us."

IUP hit on 29 of 54 shots from
the Field and canned nine three-
pointers. The Indians also out

rebounded Clarion 40-31. The
Golden Eagles shot just 21 of 59
from the field and made six three-
pointers out of 26 attempts.

"We weren't patient enough on
offense/'Righter said. "We had a
lot of shots early that didn't go
down, and we got discouraged."
IUP got through the Clarion
defense early to score the first
points of the game when Aaron
Faulkner hit a shot 15 seconds in.
After Faulkner's jumper, the
Golden Eagles went on a 5-0 run.
A field goal from Allen Stevens
and a three-pointer from Mike
Wetzel gave Clarion a 5-2 lead.

IUP responded to the Clarion
outburst with a 6-0 run. A three-
pointer by Brian Brennan and
three points from Steve Menifee
gave the Indians an 8-5 lead. The
lead switched hands again, as
Clarion put together a 7-0 run.
Clarion extended it's lead to eight

,points with 10:13 to go thanks in
part to David Shearer. Shearer
scored 10 points in a span of 3:33
including a three-point play that
made the score 24-16 at the 10:13
mark.

Unfortunately the Golden Eagles
only hit one field goal in the fol-
lowing 4:47, as the Indians went
off on a 22-3 run that gave them an
1 1 -point lead. IUP started the run
with an 11-0 stretch. Geoff Evans
capped off the streak by putting in
a layup with 5:52 left to make the
score 27-24 in favor of the Indians.
Shearer pulled the Golden
Eagles to within a point at 27-26
with a jumper at the 5:26 mark.
The Indians, though, finished off
the 22- 1 run by outscoring Clarion
11-1. Clarion bounced back and
cut its deficit to seven points
before halftime. But the Indians
registered the last points of the
half, as Beckles hit a shot with 12

seconds remaining to make the
score 40-3 1 at halftime.

Clarion was able to get within
five points of the lead early in the
second half. Layups by Kelley
and Smith made the score 42-37.

IUP responded by going on a 5-
run. A three-pointer by Evans
and a field goal from Menifee
gave the Indians a 10-point lead at
47-27 with 14:33 remaining.

After two free throws by Stevens
pulled the game to within eight at
47-39, IUP went on an 8-0 run to
take a 55-39 advantage. Menifee
scored four points in the run to
help the Indians take a 16-point
lead with 11:22 left.

The Indians still held a double
figure lead late in the half, leading
by 15 points at 78-63, before going
on a 7-0 run to end the game. The
run gave IUP an 85-63 win.

Faulkner led the Indians with 21
points, as Beckles registered a

double-double with 20 points and
12 rebounds. Menifee scored 15,
and Evans contributed with 12.

Shearer led Clarion with 17
points, and Harbin and Stevens
added 12 each.

The Golden Eagles could have
suffered their second loss in the
conference when Slippery Rock
came to town.

The Rock led by as many as six
points and was winning 68-67
with 1:20 left in the contest.
Clarion, though, regained the lead
32 seconds later, as Rollie Smith
drove to the basket from the top of
the key and made a layup to make
the score 69-68.

Slippery Rock did not score on
its next trip down the floor. The
Golden Eagles gained possesion of
the ball, and Kelley was fouled
with 12.8 seconds left.

Kelley missed the first foul shot

CU swim teams finish strong at the PSAC championships

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

CU women's swim team cap-
tured their twelth PSAC crown in
13 years, while the men's team
posted a close second place finish
to West Chester.

Head coach Bill Miller made
his final trip to PSAC's for both
the women and the men. Miller is
to retire effective after the season
is complete. Miller has coached
the women's team to a 7-0 dual
meet mark this year. On the
men's side. Miller is in his 22nd
season coaching. This year they
have gone 4-2 in dual meet com-
petitions. Both teams swam well
in their final regular season meet
at IUP's Natatorium in Memorial
Field House.

"I am really proud of both
teams. We did really well," said
head coach Miller of his male and
female swimmers.

The CU swimmers were able to

CU swimmers long practices payed off this past weekend, as the women took first place and
the men came in second

avenge last year's defeat at
PSAC's to IUP. CU had won 1 1
straight PSAC titles until last year
when IUP won the title with 399.5
points. This year the CU women
responded by posting 446 points
to win back the title. IUP came in
third with 370 points. West
Chester was unable to catch the
Golden Eagles scoring 426 points.

The CU women jumped out to a
good start on day one when
Shannon Cattoni won the 500
meter freestyle in a time of
5.05.22. Cattoni had a memo-
rable weekend by winning "Most
outstanding swimmer of the
event."

Missy Baer helped Clarion
accumulate more points by finish-
ing second to Cattoni with a time
of 5:09. 10.

Other events on day one which
helped Clarion was the 200 invid-

Women's basketball absorbs two tough home losses

by John C. Crawford
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Hosting conference power-
houses Slippery Rock
Wednesday, and IUP, Saturday,
the Clarion University women's
basketball team took a pair of
big defeats. The team now
stands at 9-15 overall. The
Eagles hold a 2-9 record in the
PS AC West.

Wednesday, February 16,
Slippery Rock came to Clarion..
The Rockets brought with them
an 7-2 record and a serious play-
off bid, but the Eagles held tight
in the early going. Halfway
through the first period a Judy
Zimmerman three-pointer gave
Clarion a six point lead.

SRU rallied, tying the game
26-26 with 6:50 to play in the
half. Within three minutes
Slippery Rock controlled the
game by a ten-point margin.
Slippery Rock then got into foul
trouble, but further scoring kept
Clarion from capitalizing. The

game at Pittsburgh-Johnstown.

teams went to the lockers with a
46-36 margin.

The Rockets came out and
dominated the second half. The
Eagles could not keep pace,
despite a strong three-point per-
formance by Allison Stodart (9.5
ppg, 32.5% three-point

attempts). Stodart went four of
seven from the arc in the second
half, making all of her 14 points
in the half. Team leading scorer,
Melissa Yearous (14.8 ppg),
knocked in 16 of her 24 points in
the second frame. When the
smoke cleared Clarion had been

crushed 101-79.

Clarion's poor defensive effort
was reflected in the statistics.
Four Slippery Rock players had
18 or more points. Tracy
Whitling led the game with 12
rebounds and 24 points. SRU
made 13 steals, while Clarion
only had one. Slippery Rock
now stands at 19-4, with an 8-2
conference record.

Indiana University of
Pennsylvania came into town
Saturday. The Indians took the
lead from the tip-off and never
looked back. Within the first
five minutes they had gained a
14 point lead. IUP held a 38-20
lead at the half.

A Clarion rally failed to pro-
duce enough momentum.
Melissa Yearous contributed 18
points and ten boards. Yearous
went ten of ten from the foul
line, but the Eagles never got
closer than a 52-47 margin, with
7:23 to go. IUP brought home
the 66-5 1 victory on the strength
of conservative shooting and

strong defense.

out the game, Clarion set up a
number of three point attempts.
Unfortuanately an abysmal
effort by Stodart (2 of 13) and
Yearous (0 for 6) left Clarion
behind for good. The miscues
from three-point land negated
the effect of a 17 of 22 night
from the foul line.

Indiana had two 18 point scor-
ers on the game, forwards Beth
MacDonald and their captain
Melissa McGill. IUP guard
Megan Woodall contributed 12
points and 13 rebounds. IUP
now holds a 21-3 overall record.
The Indians are 7-3 in the PSAC
West.

Clarion will close it's season
out February 26. Saturday the
Eagles will travel to the
University of Pittsburgh-
Johnstown, in a non-conference
match-up. They close out their
conference schedule at
California late night Wednesday
February 23rd.

Mens basketball! The CU men dropped their first game in 11 games losing to IUP, from
page 17

Diloretto finished second to West
Chester's Meghan Straehle.

The Clarion women topped off
the first day by winning the 400
meter medley relay.

The CU women kept it going on
day two, winning two individual
events and capturing another relay
event. Cattoni contributed once
again, winning the 200 meter
freestyle. Diloreto got into the
winner's circle, winning the 100
meter back stroke easily over
Kristen Krail of West Chester.

Just like day one, the women
swimmers won a relay event.
This time it was the 800 meter
freestyle relay to end the day.
West Chester came in a close sec-
ond. After two days, competition
was tight at the top, with Clarion
leading 304-287 over West
Chester.

Day three saw Clarion close out
the championship. Baer and
Diloretto captured titles in the
1650 meter freestyle and 200
meter breast stroke. Clarion fin-
ished second in the 400 meter
freestyle relay to win the team
title by twenty points over the
West Chester Rams.

The men put on an impressive
finish as well. They finished sec-
ond to West Chester 514-507.

CU men were unable to capture
a first place finish on day one.
But Clarion stayed close only
trailing by seven 162-155. Coach
Miller and assistant Mark Van
Dyke did get a solid performance

out of the 400 meter medley relay
team as they finished second.

Day two saw Clarion enter the
winners circle. Dan Pierce edged
out West Chester swimmer
Sebastian Verstraet by .02 seconds
in the 200 meter freestyle. Doug
Scott also won the 100 meter
backstroke in 51.21. But Clarion
lost ground to West Chester, and
fell to fourteen points behind.

The final day saw West Chester
close out the competition. But
Clarion continued to swim well.
Doug Scott won the 200 meter
backstroke by almost five sec-
onds.

The CU men also got postive
points out of Brian Monico who
finished third in the 1650 meter
freestyle and Jon Rohrbach who
also finished third. He finished
third in the 200 meter backstroke.

In this meet many CU swim-
mers qualified for NCAA
Division II National

Championship in Buffalo New
York in a few weeks. The week
prior to PS AC's the divers held a
Diving Invitational at Clarion

PA state senator Mary Jo White
addresses political science class

by Susan Ferchalk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Pennsylvania State senator
Mary Jo White spoke to a
political science class Friday
in Founder's Hall. White
talked to Dr. Barry Sweet's
Congress and Legislature class
about working in the state sen-
ate.

White, a republican, is sen-
ator for district 21, which
encompasses all of Clarion
County and some of Venango,
Butler, and Lawerence. Her
district office is located in

Butler. White started her
career as a public defender for
Venango County. Later, she
became a corporate lawyer for
the Quaker State Corporation.
When Quaker State moved to
Texas, White stayed behind
and decided to run for senate
when she learned the senator
for her district would not be
running again.

During the class, White dis-
cussed how she used her previ-
ous experience as a lawyer
while in the senate. "You use
everything you've ever done,"
she said. White does not keep

a very large staff, because she
says that being a lawyer has
prepared her well for her cur-
rent position.

White, who was elected in
1996, is the chairman for the
Environmental Resources and
Energy committee. She is also
on the Judiciary committee,
the Consumer Protection and
Professional Licensure com-
mittee, and is the first fresh-
man senator on the
Appropriations committee.
White said she learned the
most as a senator by following
the budget and since she has

been elected, changes have
been enacted in the budgeting
process. Before, senators
could ask for money and
receive it with barely a ques-
tion asked. Now, when asking
for funds, senators have to
explain how they will use the
money, and what their long-
term goals are for the project.
The main focus of White's
speech discussed problems and
disappointments that voters
have with the government.
She said that many voters har-
bor cynicism and distrust with
the government and politi-

Attempted homicide charges have been filed

Courtesy of the Oil City
Derrick

According to the OIL CITY
DERRICK the Clarion man
accused in the February 19,
stabbing of two members of a
Clarion University fraternity
now faces attempted homicide
charges.

Matthew P. Clapper, 25, of 49
North Fourth Avenue, Clarion,
is accused of stabbing the pres-
ident of Alpha Chi Rho and
another member after he was
asked to leave the South Fifth
Avenue fraternity house.

State police said chapter pres-
ident Michael Vislay, 21, of
Mars, had just returned to the
house and was in the process of
ending a party between 1:30

and 1:45 a.m. Saturday,
February 19.

Vislay said Tuesday he just
told Clapper to leave because
he had to get up early in the
morning.

'i told him he could just hang
out downstairs," Vislay said.
Nobody in the fraternity knew
Clapper, according to Vislay.

Clapper pulled out a pocket
knife and "the situation turned
physical," said police. Vislay
was cut in the neck, according
to police.

Fraternity brother were able to
subdue Clapper and get the
knife out of his hand. Then
they tried to take Clapper out of
the house, according to police
reports.

Clapper pulled out another

knife, sparking another small
riot, police said.

During the second fracas,
police said Clapper cut
Jeremiah Earnheardt, 23, of
Brakenridge across the throat
before being stabbed himself by
an unidentified fraternity mem-
ber who was still holding
Clapper's other knife.

Police said none of the
injuries were life-threatening,
but the report said the neck
injuries were very close to vital
areas.

Vislay said Tuesday his
injuries became infected and
the recovery put him so far
behind in classes he had to
withdraw from the university
for the remainder of the spring
semester.

•www.theclarioncall.com

Clapper was arraigned before
District Justice Anthony
Lapinto on two counts of
attempted homicide, aggravated
assault, simple assault and reck-
less endangerment.

Lapinto raised his bail from
$75,000 to $100,000.

Clapper, who remains in
Clarion County jail, already
faces trail on charges of rape,
statutory sexual assault, aggra-
vated indecent assault and sexu-
al assault.

Jury selection is scheduled
later this month in that case, in
which Clapper is accused of
having relations with a 14-year-
old girl against her will. The
incident occurred March 6,
1999, in a Knox apartment.

cians. She also said she is dis-
appointed to see the rise of the
single-issue voter. In the
future, White hopes that voters
will not just decide whom to
vote for with one issue. She
hopes they will look at the
overall record of the politician
and make a decision based on
all of the issues discussed by
that individual.

White said that what she
enjoys the most about working
in the senate are the people.
While campaigning, she went
door to door in her district and
met people that she normally
would never have been able to
meet. She has also found that
most people who are involved
with government are very out-
going and friendly.

Andrew Barnes, a sopho-
more student in the class, said
that White is "someone most
everyone would want in office.
The way she did things, even
though unorthodox, is what
needed to be done." Barnes
also expressed the importance
of having someone like Mary
Jo White speak in classes. He
felt that White's presence
helped to further the learning
process of the class.

White earned her BA at
Quincy University in Quincy,
IL and her law degree at the
University of Pittsburgh
School of Law. White is mar-
ried to H. William White and
has three children; H. William
III, David, and Allison.

little closer to heme

The shootings that happened in Wilkinsburg a
couple of weeks ago, have us wondering, why us?
But, just like the quiet little town of Columbine,
we too, didn't expect this coming. And, like so
many other cities, we have been the focus of
national attention.

Violence never really sinks in until it so close to
home. And, when you think about it, we are all so
close to that incident. All it takes is for your dad,
to know someone who was in the building, or for
the neighbor to know someone of someone who
knew someone. Creepy, huh?

What is happening to America? Is gun legisla-
tion going to do it? Probably not because there are
so many illegal weapons out there. And, although
the President sent officials to investigate the "gun"
used in the Wilkinsburg incident, why did 3 more
innocent people need to die for the U.S. govern-
ment to take notice?

We, as students, may now to look to Pittsburgh
as a place to job hunt after graduation. But, it kind
of makes one rethink relocation after such an inic-
dent.

These incidents have been happening in large
metropolises and small, country towns. But, the
real question is why? And, how?

Whether the person is 5 or 65, it doesn't matter.
This violent behavior is continuing.

And, we now too, go down in the ranks with
Detroit, Columbine, and numerous other areas
that have been exposed to the horrors of gun
posession and can sympathize with the victims.

Your Views

Federal Policies play key role

It's apparent that local control of your university
is something of an illusion.

Since 1966, the federal government has guaranteed
more than $493 billion worth of student loans; the
yearly total rose 6 percent in 1999 alone. Grants
from the National Institute of Health an the National
Science Foundation totaled more than $17 billion last
year and decided the future of thousands of graduate
students, professors and scores of programs and
departments.

Federal policies have affected every aspect of our
universities, from hiring practices to the quality of
incoming freshmen.

Perhaps, as students, we should take this into
account. We have formed student governments
(SGs) with dual roles of advocacy and programming.
Both are essential. Often, though, the advocacy role
is under-deserved. And most of our effort is directed
locally. It makes sense in some ways; local issues are
important, easier to understand, and easier to use in
campaigns. But this approach ignores tremendous
influence — and potential — of national policy.

Unfortunately, national advocacy is a little out of
the scope of the average student government. It

would require a larger organization, supported by a
broad base of SGs. And many countries, including
Australia and most of the Europe, have just that. In
Australia, it's called the National Student Union
(NSU), and it has successfully lobbied for cuts in
university fees and increases in the national
(Austudy) student stipend.

The Australian NSU represents 500,000 students —
approximately 80 percent of the student population.
Their national budget of just under $1 million U.S.
dollars is used for both student services and political
activity. According to Nathan Murphy, the NSU
Vice-President for Welfare, the NSU is nonpartisan,
but by virtue of the issues involved (and in battle
with the current right-wing Liberal government) it
tends toward a left-of-center ideology.

Of course, an American version might be different
in several ways. Thanks to Australia's mandatory
voting, all 500,000 students vote in every election,
and thus are more politically powerful. Our hypo-
thetical American Student Union might find half its
work is encouraging students to vote and in identify-
ing student-friendly candidates.

u Since I grew up in the

seen my share of has-

ketball games, and I

always knew Coach was

a great coach."

Shane Eck

Coffee with Coach

What inspires people? What
makes the little light bulbs inside
peoples heads light up? These
are Questions that I sometimes
wonder about myself.

The other night, I watched a
movie on television about a sports
writer who was very busy. He
never had the time to do anything
but work. He heard that one of his
old professors who was very close
to him, was dying. While think-
ing back on a promise he made 16
years ago to keep in touch, he
realized that he needed to repay
that promise and visit before he
died. He did this, and then real-
ized why they were so close, why
he had spent so much time with
this man and why he meant so
much to him. This man lived life
to the fullest, even knowing that
the next day could be his last.
This man was called "coach",
even though he was not the coach
of any sport, but because he was
sort of a "coach" of life.

Well, this movie made me think
about those that have made an
impact on my life like this profes-
sor did on this student. I have had
a lot of people who have become
very important to me. But one
relationship that stands out the
most and is most like this movie is
the one that 1 have with my

"coach". This person I speak of is
Dr. Ron Righter, Head Men's
Basketball Coach here at Clarion
University. I have worked for
Coach for three years now, and
even before I worked for him, I
admired him for many years.
Since I grew up in the town of
Clarion, I have seen my share of
basketball games, and I always
knew Coach was a great coach.
Now I know that he is also a great
person.

In the last few years I have had
the opportunity to share some
great conversations with Coach
Righter, mostly while sipping on a
hot cup of joe. We talk about all
sorts of things; family, religion,
and life. And I have always taken
what he has said to heart.
Sometimes I even get a bit upset
when others join us, because I feel

thing stupid happens.

"If community members
wish to use om facility in
any fashion I believe they

should be paying
$ 100/semester if not mom"

Brian Sowa, Circulation Manager

It has been happening all over
the State System and it is finally
happening at Clarion

University... controversy over a
Student Recreation Center. It
might not be as bad as it is at
Slippery Rock University, where
the Student Government
Association (SGA) is considering
legal action over the naming
rights of the newly completed
Rec Center. The Slippery Rock's
SGA would like to sell the nam-
ing rights to try to recoup some of
the student fee money used to
finance the building. While I
don't think our problems are as
"big" as what Slippery Rock is
currently facing, I feel the
Clarion Univ. students do have
legitimate complaints about the
Rec. Center.

The biggest complaint I, and
other students, have concerns the
fee. It is not that I think we are
paying too much. Eighty dollars
a semester for the use of that
facility might actually be a bar-
gain. However, students have
been paying for this building for
the past four years, yep, three and
a half years more than the build-
ins has been in existence. So

why do students pay five dollars
more than community mem-
bers?The name of the building
(which is another gripe... why has
it not been named the John L.
Kuhn? Student Recreation Center
yet?) is the Student Recreation
Center ., .not the Clarion
Community Recreation Center.
So then, I ask again, why are stu-
dents paying more? Well, com-
munity members do not get to use
the climbing wall, or the Outdoor
Recreation facilities. Personally,
I think this is ludicrous. If com-
munity members wish to use our
facility in any fashion I believe
they should be paying at least
$100/semester if not more. Or,
the university could always lower
the student's fee. Of course we
have a better chance of getting a
tour star quality meal at a reason-
able price at the snack bar before
that would ever happen.

So let's recap, students are pay-
ing $80 a semester for the use of
a specific facility. And what hap-
pens when you accidentally for
get your student ID on your way
to the Rec Center? You get
turned away. We are paying for a

not let the little things in life upset you. You have to learn to sometimes
just let things go. If you dwell on them too much you will be upset
about the time you had lost worrying about it. My time spent with
Coach Righter will someday be greatly missed, when I leave this town,
I will miss most my coffee with coach. So I would like to take this
opportunity to say to my coach, mentor and friend, thank-you, you have
inspired me. Peace!

service and to be told that we can't use it just because we forgot our ID
is once again ridiculous. We need to give some credit to ChartwelFs
Dining Service (never thought those words would come out of my
mouth). At least there, they will still feed you if you can remember your
name and social security number. Why can't the Rec Center get a ros-
ter of students with their social security numbers and ask students for
their social security number if they happen to forget their ID? If it
becomes a problem of students constantly forgetting their ID, a three
strike policy could easily be implemented.

I could go on with even more disagreements I have with the way the
Rec Center is being run. Students put up with enough problems at this
University. This problem just adds upon the countless other problems
here (parking, scheduling, snow removal, scheduling again). I feel that
the university needs to seriously review the Rec Center's policies, regu-
lations and operations before we have the same problems as SRU is fac-
ing. If things continue as they currently are, the university could easily
be facing those problems.

One final comment, I can only imagine how many university admin-
istrators I have upset over this editorial. I, however, welcome all and
any comments, complaints and suggestions from administrators. I
would also encourage students to come forward and express any feelings
they have concerning this matter.

Your boy or girlfriend seems dis-
tant and you want to know if he or
she has been cheating on you. Or
perhaps you drink more in one
night than all of your campus' fra-
ternity brothers do in an entire
semester. Maybe you like some-
one, but you're too shy to
approach him or her.

There are people out there to help
you.

Lately, the phone-in advice radio
show format has been booming.
Taking into account America's
obsession with sex, drugs,
debauchery and therapy, it isn't
hard to figure out why so many
people have fallen in love with
radio programs dishing out advice.
But some of these shows can be
detrimental to everyone's mental
health.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger, host of a
popular call-in advice show, who
is armed with a Ph.D. in physiolo-
gy, is so popular that she competes
with Rush Limbaugh for airtime
and ratings. Dr. Laura is propo-
nent of tough love, conservative
politics, extremist religion and
family values.

She's also a gay basher.

Dr. Laura claims that homosexu-
ality is a biological error that pre-
vents people from having healthy,
intimate relationships with mem-
bers of the opposite sex. She sup-
ports her claim with the old adage,
"God created Adam and Eve, not
Adam and Steve."

Dr. Laura regularly discusses a
few additional standpoints and
concerns, one of which is AIDS
funding. She has said that she

But other factors here might
work in our favor; for instance,
American campuses — despite
claims of student apathy — are
remarkably self-aware and already
well-organized for local advocacy.

Other issues, such as cost, are
solveable. Of our many universi-
ties, it would take relatively few
schools, at first, to support a
national body. Funding could be
initiated by a consortium of stu-
dent governments, limiting risk to
individual SGs by requiring a
"critical mass" of ratification
before financial commitments are
called in. A clear charter for such
a group — defining the scope of
issues addressed — would make it
more attractive to ideologically-
divided SGs.

There is also an important role
for graduate students, many of
whom feel marginalized by under-
graduate-dominated SGs. With
experience in advocacy and lead-
ership both on and off campus,
graduate and nontraditional stu-
dents might be the key to a thriv-
ing "ASU".

Certainly, the issue of federal
funding for the arts and sciences
vitally affects graduates. In the
Australian model, a separate orga-
nization represents 137,000 gradu-
ates: the Council of Australian
Postgraduate Associations, or
CAPA. The separation is partially
because the NSU engages in some
undergraduate-specific activities;

the two often work together and
might easily be combined in an
American system. And graduate
students are in fact at the vanguard
of a new trend in student advoca-
cy; University of California grads
have been unionized since June to
fight for better working condi-
tions.

Finally, an ASU might reason-
ably expect the support of univer-
sity administrations and other
organizations — such as the
Association of American
Universities — involved in higher
education. The Australians I
spoke to have received this sup-
port; they agree that while local
SGs often find themselves at odds
with their school, at a national
level their interests tend to coin-
cide.

Certainly, federal involvement
in our universities is pervasive and
growing. And, as a society, we
seem to be re-evaluating our prior-
ities for higher education. The
next decade will see debate — and
almost certainly change — involv-
ing corporation, declining
research funds, and issues of
teaching quality. An American
Student Union would make sure
our voices are heard.

Will your student governments
take the lead?

won't donate any money to AIDS
causes as long as sex is allowed in
public bathhouses. (There are few,
if any, known public bathhouses
remaining in the United States.)

Dr. Laura is opposed to equal
rights for gays because she doesn't
believe in rights for whom she
calls "sexual deviants." She sup-
ports her opinion by sliding down
the slippery slope of how equal
rights for gays will lead to equal
rights for "other" sexual deviants
who engage in pedophilia, bestial-
ity, sadomasochims and cross-
dressing.

Dr. Laura is so obsessed with her
anti-gay crusade that she has
encouraged her listeners from
around America to bombard
Vermont with protest letters stat-
ing how the decision to give gay
couples domestic partnership
rights encourages sexual
deviances.

Most of Dr. Laura Schlessinger 's
"concerns" are founded in the
name of God. She recently
became a member of the Orthodox
Jewish community, but she, to use
one her least favorite pieces of
imagery, sodomizes her religion
by using it as a framework through
which she can espouse her intoler-
ant, bigoted opinions.

Dr. Laura, with her no-holds-
barred, "telling it like it is" atti-
tude, is not serving her (self-
appointed) position as a role model
with much skill or sensitivity.

Sure, Dr. Laura doesn't deny that
homosexuals are (insert charitable
list of positive adjectives here). In
addition, she claims that she isn't
homophobic because she has gay
friends.

However, the gay community
isn't going to remember Dr.
Laura's polite 'asides.' They are
going to remember the insults and
despotic homophobia that she
transmits through the radio air-
waves. They're going to remem-
ber those radio segments during
which she called gays "biological
errors," "sexual deviants" and
"unhealthy." The gay community
will remember how Dr. Laura's
words are helping to perpetuate
their difficulty getting jobs. The
gay community will remember Dr.
Laura when hate crime legislation
fails, or the next time a gay person
is tied to a fence and pistol-
whipped to death.

Six high schools compete in academic bowl

by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Staff Writer

An "Academic Bowl" involving six local
high schools has been shaking things up at the
Clarion Mall. The bowl, which began back on
February 22, is co-sponsored by the Clarion
University of Pennsylvania Admissions
Office, the Clarion University Foundation,
and Clarion radio station C-93. The competi-
tion is set up at the JCPenny end of the mall
between Walden Books and Hallmark, and it
is free and open to the public. Teams who
place first, second, and third will receive
Clarion University clothing, savings bonds,
and or/prize packages from the radio station
and mall.

There are four participants plus one alternate
to each team. Knovvlegde Masters, a compa-
ny that specializes in academic bowl questions
for various grades and ages, has provided
questions for this event. According to Adam
Earnheardt of CUP Admissions, categories
range from Stanley Cuprit and Tiger Woods.
For each game, there are two fifteen-minute
halves. Throughout the semi-finals, the com-
petition was run by a unique system. The first
two questions were toss-ups for whichever

team could correctly answer them first. Then
a question was given to one tema, and they
were stumped, the opposition had a chance.
Two questions were asked in this manner.
After that, all other questions remained a toss-
up. Participants received one point for each
correct answer, but they were not penalized

The competition has been

over the county have been

answering difficult questions on

a wide range of topics from the

sciences and humanities. I've

for answering incorrectly. Students were
given ten seconds to answer regular questions
and fifteen seconds to answer questions
involving math. The competition is judged by
eight or nine Clarion University faculty mem-
bers. One judge, Dr. John Heard said he real-
ly enjoyed his experience. Heard remembers
participating in a similar bowl when he was in

high school and he said, "It was interesting sit-
ting on the other side."

Dr. Jean Slattery, another judge, said, "The
competition has been exciting as students
from all over the county have been answering
difficult questions of a wide range of topics
from the sciences and humanities. I've been
impressed with their ability to answer difficult
questions accurately but calmly under time
pressure. I'm looking forward to the final
round on Saturday."

In the first match, Clarion Area eliminated
Keystone High School. That same night
Brookville defeated Redband Valley. The fol-
lowing week, February 29, Brookville defeat-
ed Union with a score of 30-13. Also,
Cranberry edged past Clarion Area 23-18.
The final rounds are scheduled for Saturday.
March 11. The consolation match between
Union and Clarion Area will be at 10:00 a.m.
followed by Brookville and Cranberry at
11:00 a.m. battling for the championship.

Adam Earnheardt commented on how nice it
is of the Clarion University foundation to co-
sponsor the bowl. He also stated, "There has-
n't always been a form for scholastic competi-
tion like this. It's really great that newspapers,
radio, and TV5 are all covering it."

Free way to file taxes via the Internet

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

College students from across
Pennsylvania may be elegible to file
their state tax returns via the Internet
with pa.direct.file . acccording to
Secretary of Revenue Robert Judge
Sr. and State System of Higher
Education Chancellor James
McCormick.

'This new service is great for col-
lege students — it's free, it's on the
Internet, and it's available 24 hours a
day, seven days a week," said Judge.

Pa.direct.file is a fully electronic
service accessible over any computer
connected to the Internet. The sys-
tem computes all math calculations,
helping to prevent errors that may
delay a student's refund. Within two
or three weeks, refunds could be

Thompson's Tips

Wash away
your germs

by A. A. Thompson

Clarion Call

Assistant News Editor

Are you washing your hands
properly? Chances are you aren't,
and you're spreading your germs
to other people.

Obey the following instructions
and your hands will be clean.

Step 1 : Take off all jewelry like
rings, bracelets, (and watches if
they will get in the way).

Step 2: Turn on the faucet but
this will be the last time your bare
hands will come in contact with
the faucet.

Step 3: Aiming your hands
downward, let the (lukewarm)
water run over your hands.

Step 4: Squirt soap into your
hands and rub palms vigorously
together.

Siep 5: Scrub the backs of your
hands and clean your fingernails.

Step 6: Interlock your hands, so
to clean in between your fingers.

Step 7: Wash an inch or two up
your wrist.
Step 8: Rinse off all soap.
Step 9: Grab a paper towel and
dry off hands.

Step 10: With the paper towel
covering hands, turn off the
faucet.

It is important to keep your
hands pointing down, so the germs
will run off. Also if you have to
pull a lever for paper towels do so
with your elbow, so germs on the
lever don't touch you.

reason is to help society and the

special children fail in their every-

Well, if you answered yes to the
first question, then you are reading
the right story. That is the exact
goal of the Model Transition
Replication Project. This Project is
working in collaboration with
IDEA, Keystone SMILES,
AmeriCorps, and public school
districts to help adolescents from
the ages of 14-21 prepare them-
selves for their adult life. Their

second reason is to help these ado-
lescents to be able to afford higher
education.

Clarion University's Department
of Special Education and
Rehabilitative Sciences is able to
work in collaboration with these
other Projects by a contract that the
Pennsylvania Department of
Education awarded them.

The contract is worth $182,000
and will support the services up to
14 AmeriCorps members in 14

school districts, and the adminis-
tration of the project. The reason
behind there only being 14 school
districts is because there are limit-
ed amounts of personal and finan-
cial resources available. Currently
there are 60-70 people working
with the Project.

School districts that are currently
participating in the Project are
Beaver, Big Beaver, Center,
Clarion-Limestone, DuBois,

Freedom, Keystone, Lakeview,
Millcreek, Shaler, Riverside,
Southside, State College, and
Warren.

The University students that par-
ticipate in these projects as
AmeriCorps members gain valu-
able teaching experience along

with living benefits that range from
$4,700-9,000 in one year. After
that year of service, they are able to
also receive $24,000-$48,000 for
their service.

The Model Transition
Replication Project is not widely
known among students in the uni-
versity. The students also do not
realize that if they participate in
this Project, they may be eligible
for monetary benefits that can help
pay for their college tuition.

For more information on these
programs or for information about
service opportunities in their pro-
grams, interested individuals may
call Bryan Huwar at 814-393-2463
or Marta Alexander at 814-393-

The Rotary District (7280) will award a Rotary
Foundation Ambaddadorial Scholarship to a stu-

Clarion Call Staff Writer

Between Wednesday, February 23
and Saturday, February 26, The
Pennsylvannia Black Conference
on Higher Education (BCOHE)
held their annual conference at the
Holiday Inn East in Harrisburg, PA.
Four students, Avonita Byrd,
Brian Cook, J'aira Pryor, and
Maria S. Massie; a graduate student
Sean McDonald; and Clarion
Universtiy staff members. Gemma
Stemley of Admissions and Dr.
Brende DeDe of the Graduate
Studies office, who is the secretary
of BCOHE Executive Board, made
the trip with Dr. Jocelyn Gant,
Rogers Laugand III, Dr. Davie
Tate, with the former Dean of
Admissions John Shropshire join-
ing the group later.

The stay consisted of various pro-
fessional workshops for the admin-
istrators and student workshops.
Among the highlights of the con-
ference was the Thursday award
luncheon.

During this time, Massie was one
out of six students (two each were
chosen from the eastern, western,
and central regions) to receive the
K. Leroy Irvis Scholarship.

Byrd was presented with a cer-
tificate for outstanding accomplish-

ments.

The Pennsylvania BCOHE has
asssisted numerous students over
the years financially through the
giving of scholarships. Also,
BCOHE has held various confer-
ences that have enriched the knowl-
edge of black students in higher
education.

The Honarable K. Leroy Irvis was
born on December 27, 1919. He is
the retired Speaker of the House of
Representatives of the

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
With his appointment as the
Democratic Caucus Chairman, he
was the first African American rep-
resentative elected to House leader-
ship. Afterwards, he became the
Majority Caucus Chairman,
Minority Whip and Majority
Leader. Some of 'his biggest
accomplishments include sponsor-
ship and passage of legislation that
created the Pennsylvania Human
Relations Commission, the
Pennsylvania Higher Education
Equal Opportunity Program, the
Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency, and the
Minority Business Development
Authority. He is also known by
other representatives as the "Father
of the Community College
System."

Candidates for graduation in Spring 2000, Pre-ses-

sion, Summer I, or Summer II who did not fill out

an application for graduation last semester during

early registration should do so now.

Applications are available at the Accounts

Receivable Office, B-16 Carrier, for a $15.00 fee.

December 2000 graduates are reminded to pick up

an application for graduation during the period of

early registaiton which begins Monday, April 10.

over nam-
ing rights

As next Friday's dedication of the
Robert N. AebersokJ Student
Recreation Center nears, tension
among the Student Goveremnt
Association and the university
administration is rising.

At yesterday's regular bi-weekly
meeting of SGA the ARC was
once again the main topic dis-
cussed.

Sharon Johnson, vice president
of student affairs and SGA advi-
sor, urged SGA to remember
what Aebersold did for the univer-
sity while he served as SRU's
president

"He (Aebersold) was known,
respected and loved," Johnson
said. "He has done so much for
this university."

Johnson went on to say thai
without Aebersold, many of the
things that benefit this campus
would not be here.

Fewer
Edinboro
U. students
on the four
year plan

If you're already on the five year
plan here at Edinvoro or on the
way to becoming a "sup&r senior;'
you're not atone.

Only one out of every five
Edinboro University students
graduates in four years or less.

Although that number may
sound low, Edinboro actually
compares well with many otfier
similarly sized public inslkitians
outside the State System of
Higher Education, according to
Jerry Kiel, associate vice presient
for enrollment, managemet and
retention.
'Our rate is certainly comparable
to, if not better than many," he
said. And EUP's four-year gradu-
ation rate hasnt changed much
over the past 10 years, Kiel said.
Many students still finish in four
years, Kiel said But ifs not an
"accurate expectation" that the
majority of undergraduates will f m-
ish that soon, he said.

Faculty Senate

Advance Team to
discuss off-cam-
pus behavior

by A. A. Thompson

Clarion Call

Assistant News Editor

During the Monday's Facutly
Senate meeting, President Diane
Reinhard announced that an Advance
Team has been selected to discuss
off-campus behavior.

The Advance Team will be chaired
by Dr. Anand Rao, associate profes-
sor of Speech Communcation and
Theatre, with the intent to ensure
safety to all students regardless of
where they live.

The Team plans to meet with
Interfraternity Council as well as
other campus organizations.

Rao also announced that there are
47 research days until the Faculty
Convocation.

Reinhard also announced that an
auction raised $50,000 for scholar-
ships. The highest selling item was a
quilt that went for $2,500.

The quilt was such a success that
another one will be made to be raffle
next year.

Dr. Ralph Leary, associate professor
of the English Department, ques-
tioned what area will be available for
student studying when the library
goes through the scheduled renova-
tions beginning in May.

Gemmell will be utilized the most
when the old weight room is trans-
formed into the children's reference
and technology center.

The librarians will be located down-
stairs in Gemmell and half of
Chandler Dining Hall will be desig-
nated as a study area.

Dani Jo Close, Student Senate rep-
resentative, reported that students feel
they are being treated unfairly since
the public pays $5 less than students
to use the new Recreation Center.

Currently, students pay $80 while
the public pays $75 a semester. There
was also concern as to whether or not
athletes are receiving special treat-
ment.

Close also reported that the cost of
parking permits will be raised to $75
next semester and $100 the following
year.

Faculty Senate also voted to award
the classes Ed 329, PSY 230, and
SPED 425 with Q Flags, (or
Quantitative Reasoning.).

MUS 347 was awarded with an S
flag,(or Skills), while SPED 220 was
given a W flag, (or Writing
Intensive.)

The next regularly scheduled
Faculty Senate meeting will be
Monday, March 27.

Rec center still center of controversy for Senate

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

Student Facilities Committee
chair. Senator Bill Isbir, answered
Student Senate's questions con-
cerning the Rec Center, at Monday
night's meeting.

Isbir spoke to Lori Sabatose,
Interim Director of the Rec Center
about why students pay more
money to use the facility than
community members. She said
that students are the only ones
who have access to the climbing
wall and the Outdoor Rec office.

Many students have expressed
concern over athletic teams using
the Rec Center for their practices.
She said that teams can practice
there if they do it with no coach
intervention. The reason for this is
because members of the athletic
teams are also members of the
Clarion Students' Association and
can reserve a court or practice in
the Rec Center like any other stu-
dent.

Sabatose said that a software pro-
gram will be purchased soon so
that desk workers will be able to
find a student's name in the com-
puter to admit them if they forget
their ID.

The idea of an Ad hoc commit-
tee being formed under the
Student Facilities Committee to
work with the Rec Center and
Senate was also discussed.

Senate Treasurer Brian Sowa
read the latest account balances
during his report. There is
$262,341.97 in the Large Item
Capital Account and $85,263.19

in the Capital Account.

$13,035.40 is the current total in
the Supplemental Account while
$12,419.53 is in the Supplemental
Reserve Account.

During his report, he spoke about
the need for Senate to watch the
Supplemental and Supplemental
Reserve Account balances. He
said, "Senate needs to begin

the organization to pay for the reg-
istration of the convention. The
motion passed 17-0-2.

Chervenak announced that tickets
have gone on sale for the Tonic
concert. Earth to Andy will be the
opening band for Tonic and the
concert will be held Wednesday,
March 29 in the Tippin
Gymnasium. Tickets will be $8.00
for students and $12.00 for non-
students.

Senator Jen Mathis reminded
Senators about the upcoming elec-
tions. Senate applications need to
be returned by Friday, March 17
by 4:00 p.m. in 269 Gemmell.
Orientation for Senators will be
held Sunday, March 26 at 7:00
p.m. Any Senator who will be re-
running and new candidates are
required to attend this meeting.

Student Senate is in the process
of updating their current constitu-
tion. Several proposed changes
were discussed at the Monday
meeting. It is necessary for Senate
to vote on the changes after a two
week period. After Senate passes
the proposed changes, the consti-
tution will go before the student
body to be ratified.

The next Student Senate meeting
will be held Monday, March 20 at
7:30 p.m. in 246 Gemmell.

Financial aid has grown again at Clarion

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor

Financial aid for the 1999-2000 academic
year has grown again at Clarion University.

"I expect finanical aid to students for 1999-
2000 to exceed 1998-1999," says Ken Grugel,
director of financial aid. "To date students
have received $27,500,000 with two-thirds of
the spring semester and all of the summer ses-
sions remaining. A total of 4,636 students
received financial aid to date, and I would pro-
ject that figure to exceed 4,700."

In reviewing 1998-1999, 4,658 students, or
79 percent of Clarion's enrollment, received
$28,350,000 in financial aid. This was an
increase from $26,390,000 in 1997-1998 and
$24,390,000 during the 1996-1997 academic
year.

The financial aid office is also the headquar-
ters for military benefits. Approximately 350
students receive Montgomery GI bills funds of
benefits through the National General

Education Assistance Program.

"The federal government is committed to
education," says Grugel. "They have tax
incentive programs such as the HOPE scholar-
ship and the Lifelong Learning credits."

New programs are also helping students to
find financial aid for college. The PHEAA
New Economy Scholarship for science and
technology is for students who have complet-
ed their freshman year; and the America Reads
program for students who are majoring in
reading and mathematics.

The America Reads program currently
employs 30 students from Clarion to help with
reading and mathematics in area school dis-
tricts.

Nationally, about 50 percent of students
receive financial aid while in college.
According to Grugel, the total at Clarion is
about 78 percent.

Grugel, who is the current vice president of
the Pennsylvania Association of Student
Financial Aid Administrators, listed the fol-

lowing as providing the largest portion of
financial aid to students.

* $15,282,520 in student loans, to 3.750 stu-
dents

* $$3,460,000 in federal Pell grants to 1,850
students

* $4,101,000 in loans from Pennsylvania
Higher Assistance Agency

* Almost $2,000,000 in scholarships from
inside and outside of the university to almost
1,000 students

Grugel urges any student considering college
to fill out the FASFA grant application. The
deadline is May 1.

Students or their parents investigating the
opportunities that financial aid provides
should check the Clarion University's home
page on the internet at www.clarion.edu.

This site includes a message explaining how
to reach the FAST web, a national scholarship
seraching site. Grugel also suggests checking
financial aid information at www.PASFFA.org
and PHEA'A.org.

Clarion's 'pied piper' brings cultural flavor to the campus

by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

From across campus you hear it -
the cutting and distinctive sound of
bagpipes. Have we been invaded by
the Scottish army? No, but that's no
reason to dismiss the unmistakable
sound that conjures up scenes from
Braveheart. What it is, is Clarion
University's own Evan Elliott, a
senior Philosophy and Molecular
Biology major who shares his cultur-
al heritage with all of us.

So how did Evan become acquaint-
ed with this unusual instrument'? He
picked it up in the 4th grade, after
hearing his cousin play it. His parents
introduced the idea of learning how to
play, "maybe because they wanted to
give me focus," he says.

He carried his pipe playing with him
when he attended the Valley Forge
Military College. It was there that
Evan earned the nickname, 'The
Mad Piper," due to his habit of wak-

ing up his company at 5:00 in the
morning.

When Evan transferred here to
Clarion, his pipes were in tow. He
began to practice his instrument from
his first day here, although he admits
that it was hard to find a place to prac-
tice.

Sharing his talent is the biggest thrill
that Evan gets out of it. T want peo-
ple to know that they're alive," says
Evan. "You can't deny you've heard
the bagpipes. Even if only one person
hears when I'm playing, it's good."

He related of a time when he played
after the recent campus suicide in the
midst of the strike turmoil, of his
eulogy to the deceased. One female
student came up to him and com-
mented, "I'm glad to know every-
thing's alright."

But Evan Elliott is not only known
around campus. His list of accom-
plishments includes having played in
Wembley Hall, England in 1994. His
band won 1st place in the Lord

^WW Www yy^Stsf

Mayor's Parade, which is the largest bagpipes. Up until World War II, the
parade in Europe. Despite these pipes would be in the front lines, to
recogni-
tions, Evan
remains
humble. He
admits he's
not the best
piper in the
world, and
says he
plays to
remind him-
self that he
has a lot to
learn.

So now
you know a
little history
on Evan, but
how about
his "tools,"
as he refers
to them'?

because it's
such a

I Evan's

usual attire
is the tradi-
tional kilt
of his clan.
The many
different
colors can
be attrib-
uted that
the differ-
ent clans
incorporat-
ed the col-
ors of their
surrounding
terrain into
their kilts.

His family crest, which depicts a
hand holding a dagger, is headed with
a latin phrase, which loosely translat-
ed means "With Truth and Fortitude."

But Evan doesn't want his art to be
completely rooted in the past. He
cites the group Korn, and their use of
the pipes. "It's good that they use
them, but there's a lot more there."
Evan practices what he preaches, too;
as he has played with the local band
12 Year Old Boy , trying to incorpo-
rate alternative rock into the pipes.

Evan Elliott will be busy on St.
Patrick's Day. He will be performing
at the Captain Loomis Inn from 6-7
pm, and later on that day will also
perform in both the Cranberry and
Robinson Town Center Quaker State
restaurants.

In the end, though, it's all about the
music. He restates the fact that "My
message when I play is that we're
alive. I hope I remind them of

that...whether they like it or not."

The Smashing Pumpkins return to form with their new disc

by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

My God, am I getting old already?
I remember being a moody, disen-
franchised, angst-ridden teen slowly
rotating my head to the moody, dis-
enfranchised, angst-ridden beat of
The Smashing Pumpkins' "Disarm"
while Billy Corgan's strangely sooth-
ing voice reassured me that "the killer
in me is the killer in you." I wasn't
sure what that meant, but it sure
sounded like something my parents
wouldn't like, and that was fine by
me.

It's been six years since Siamese
Dream, and The Smashing Pumpkins
could be called elder statesmen of the
music industry, with their 10+ year
career. The Pumpkins are still pretty
m<x>dy, but teen angst can only take
you so far. and the Pumpkin's new
album. MACHINA/The Machines of
God is probably the last tear they'll

squeeze out of that bloodshot eye.

Not that MACHINA is a bad album;
flashes of brilliance shine through
amidst the filler to redeem the
album's tortured soul, but in the end,
you are left feeling unfulfilled. The
Pumpkins main problem throughout
their career has been editing: Corgan
can't distinguish his good ideas from
the ones that stink worse than Uncle
Fester's underpants. There's an
amazing album here, but it's being
drowned by filler.

MACHINA is in many ways a
return to form for Corgan and Co.,
leaving behind the weeping and
somber synthesized beds of 1998's
Adore, which was hated by many (I
loved it, but hey...). Kicking off with
a jagged and galvanized razor blade
of a guitar riff. "The Everlasting
Gaze" shows that Corgan is tired of
whining, and now just wants to
smash stuff a' la 'rat in a cage.'
Reminding us that the Pumpkins can

still kick out the jams, Corgan shrieks
"You know I'm not dead.. .forever
waiting..." while his cohorts put their
instruments through purgatory.

After that volcanic rush, you'll be
comfortably safe in the knowledge
that the Pumpkins' "70's Arena Rock
meets the Grunge from the Black
Lagoon" sound is back in place. But
the tepid "Raindrops and
Sunshowers" will displace that faith.
It sounds like Duran Duran strung out
on heroin, only not as catchy. And so
goes the rest of the album, with an
absolutely euphoric song or two, and
then something that sounds like it
was composed while Corgan was sit-
ting on the toilet (I'm not sure what
that means).

Yet another detraction from my
complete enjoyment of this offering
is the fact that Corgan is constantly
contradicting himself. A small bone
to pick, but hey. His sentiments from
"The Everlasting Gaze" are not

Douglas movie, Wonder

echoed in "Heavy Metal Machine,"
the album's midpoint, and low point.
Corgan babbles about "dying for
rock and roll" and "to save his soul"
while the rest of the band has a con-
niption tit. It is without a doubt the
worst "song" they've ever recorded.
What were you thinking, you cue-
ball-headed freak?!'?!?!?

But as I said, there are some great
moments on MACHINA, so let's talk
about them. The anthematic "Stand
Inside Your Love" is simply wonder-
ful, a passionate love ballad with
balls. It provides the best showcase
for newly re-instated drummer
Jimmy Chamberlin, who is one of the
best in rock today. Chamberlin's
favorite trick is a machine gun rapid
fire PA DA DUM DA DA DUM that
endlessly repeats and builds in inten-
sity that gels perfectly with Corgan's
best vocal track, singing "I'm telling
you how much I need and bleed for
your every move and waking sound."

Easily the best moment on the album
Also impressive is the snappy
groove-oriented rock of 'Try, Try,
Try" and "Wound", along with the
rusted splendor of "This Time", (all
three of which contain crescendos of
PA DA DUM DA DA DUM beats).
MACHINA also contains what might
be the Pumpkin's most optimistic
song ever, "With Every Light." With
a slow but sunny beat and lyrics like
'Throw the weight up off your shoul-
ders now that we can show our
lovc.no more war and no more sol-
diers", I imagine goths all over are
burning their cloaks.

But in the end, MACHINA drags on
much too long, and with not enough
mesmerizing material. When all is
said and done, MACHINA is a 3 star
album masquerading as a 4 or 4 and
a half. It's time for The Smashing
Pumpkins to move on; puberty's

over. PA DA DUM DA DA DUM.

Douglas' new film Wonder Boys is more than 'wonderful

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Stressed-out by his impend-
ing book deadline and con-
stantly strung-out on a variety
of different drugs, Professor
Grady Tripp (Michael

Douglas) is starting to unravel.
He's desperately scrambling to
finish the sprawling mess of a
novel he began several years
ago, a novel that, if it's well
received, will save both his
career and that of his editor

(Robert Downy, Jr.). But
Tripp's problems don't end
there. He's also been forced to
take a troubled young student
named James Leer (Tobey
Maguire) under his wing while
dodging the amorous advances

the story, however, is Tripp's
relationship with Leer, an
exceptional writer with enough
promise to be the next literary

reflection of his younger self

either telling a lie or survive a

Free Willy should have been about lobsters

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer

It was a Thursday evening
when I got a chilling message
from my office at The Miami
Herald: Somebody had sent
me a live Maine lobster.

It was meant as a gift. I
was supposed to eat it. But I
do not believe in eating lob-
sters. I do not believe in eat-
ing ANYTHING that looks
like an insect and has 137
legs, claws, feelers and eye-
balls waving around on
stalks. I believe that lobsters
are biologically related to
that thing that is always
chasing Sigourney Weaver
around spaceships.

So I was not thrilled to get
a live lobster. I think there
should be laws against inter-
state lobster trafficking. I
think that, as Americans, we
should be protected from the
danger of opening an inno-
cent-looking box and finding
ourselves confronting a crus-
tacean the size of Mary Lou
Retton.

The Miami Herald Business
Section, located next to my
office, offered to take the
lobster off my hands and eat
it (the Business Section will
eat anything). But I was
uncomfortable with that. In

a strange way, I felt responsi-
ble for this lobster. I felt
that if something bad were to
happen to it, I would ulti-
mately pay the price, under
the principle of "karma,"
which holds that your fate in
future incarnations is deter-
mined by how you treat lob-
sters.

So I decided to drive to
work and release the lobster -
which I had started thinking
of as "Duane" - in Biscayne
Bay, a body of water that is
located next to The Miami
Herald building so the edi-
tors will have something to
look at. On the way in, I
called the Herald's

fishing/outdoors writer, Sue
Cocking, who gave me some
bad news: Duane was a cold-
water lobster, and if I put
him in the warm South
Florida water, he would
quickly kick the bucket, or
whatever it is that lobsters
kick.

So now I had a problem: I
was taking custody of a lob-
ster upon which my fate
depended, and I had no idea
what I was going to do with
him. And then it hit me: I
could send him to Tom
Schroth. Tom is a very old
friend and journalism men-
tor; he and his wife, Pat, live

in Sedgwick, Maine, and are
veteran lobster wranglers. I
figured that if I could get
Duane up there in time, they
could release him into his
original stomping waters.

So I got Duane at the
Herald.

could still move his claws in
small, sad gestures. With
Duane on the seat next to me,
I raced to the shipping place
in Coconut Grove, were the
proprietors, Rod and Judy
Heflin, to their credit, did
not question the concept of
shipping a live Maine lob-
ster, from Maine, back to
Maine. Before they sealed
the box, I took a last look at
Duane, who gave me a jaunty

wave, as if to say, "What the
HECK is going on?" And
then he was gone.

Next I called Tom and Pat
in Maine to alert them. They
were not home. This was
bad, because in my haste to
get Duane
shipped, I
neglected to
put a note
in his box,
which
meant that
Tom and
Pat might
assume he
was dinner.

Fortunately,
Tom got my
message
and called
back to say
he'd release
Duane,
assuming that Duane - who
by now was qualifying for
frequent flyer benefits -
arrived alive. I told Tom that
Duane was a spunky lobster
with a lot of heart (or, possi-
bly, hearts).

The next 24 hours took for-
ever. The Business Section
assured me that Duane would
arrive in Maine as dead as
Lamar Alexander's presiden-
tial campaign. I was a mess.

And then it came, an e-mail
from Tom that filled my heart
with joy. It described how
Tom and his daughter
Jennifer took Duane to the
sea:

"The Sedgwick Town Dock
is about a half-mile from
home. The snow was falling
hard. It was getting quite
dark. We took Duane to the
edge of the water, where the
boat-launching tracks went
into the lowering tide. There
was a little ice at the edge of
the water. I took him out of
his box - he was gorgeous,
about 2 pounds and still live-
ly, no rubber bands on his
claws - and placed him tail-
first into the water. As you
had predicted, he waved to us
as he, with a quick flip of his
luscious tail, pulled deep
into the dark waters of
Eggemoggin Reach as it
reached the Benjamin River
off Sedgwick's shore.
Perhaps now he is in the Gulf
of Maine, where his chances
of survival are as good as the
other 1, 237, 456, 987 lob-
sters out there."

I'd say more about this, but
I am too choked up.

WONDER! A review of the new Michael Douglas movie,
Wonder Boys, from Page 12.

woke him up from a long nap, a
technique that sometimes works
and sometimes doesn't.

McDormand proves to be a good
foil for Tripp's clumsy romantic
efforts. But Katie Holmes has little
to do with her role, which mostly
demands that she stand around and
look gorgeous, a feat that the love-
ly Holmes could probably manage
even if she were wearing potato
sacks and had a paper bag over her
head. Downey steals the show as
Tripp's flamboyant editor, a
brazenly bisexual man who picks
up a transvestite while at the airport
waiting to meet Tripp. Rip Torn
also has a brief cameo as Tripp's
nemesis, Q, a popular author who
manages to churn out novels at a
steady rate, a fact that greatly irks
Tripp.

Pittsburgh residents will certainly
enjoy picking out the various local
landmarks that Tripp and friends
pass by in their light-hearted jour-

ney toward self-understanding.
The lush surroundings of Pitt
University's Cathedral of Learning
plays very prominently in several
scenes, standing in for the fictional
Pittsburgh university where Tripp
teaches. Also, the Beaver Valley
Bowl, one of Beaver County's
scummier establishments, is
remade as a sporting good store for
an important scene late in the film.
Even though it's the first good
movie to have been filmed in the
'Burgh in the last ten years.
Wonder Boys isn't just worthy of
praise from Pittsburghers. It's a
movie with a lot of heart, a great
deal of quirky humor, and fine per-
formances, all of which deserve to
be applauded by movie audiences
across the country. Douglas and
the Wonder Boys crew not only
pass with flying colors, but they've
also earned an 'A' in my grading
book.

Clarion Women's swimming
and diving team finished fourth at
the NCAA Division II National
Championships. Clarion's men
swimming and diving team fin-
ished twelth.

CU women compiled 375
points over the four day competi-
tion, in Buffalo, New York at the
ECC Aquatic Center. Drury
University took home the nation-
al title with 663 points. Truman
State and North Dakota came in
second and third.

The CU women accumulated a
lot of points through good relay
performances and excellent div-
ing. Stephanie Sutton won two
national titles. She won the one
meter diving competition with
412 points and the three meter
diving event with 477 points.

"I was a little concerned in the

prelims. I was fourth coming
down the stretch. But I got into
the finals. In the finals I just
stayed consistent," said the junior
Sutton of her national champi-
onship performance.

"She did a great job. She real-
ly has just busted her but all year
long," said Diving coach David
Hrovat.

Sutton also earned NCAA
Division II Diver of the year to go
along with her two victories.

Amanda Earnest also gave CU
points as she finished fourth in
the one meter dive and second in
the three meter diving competi-
tion.

"I am really excited about next
year. Stephanie is returning and
we still have two more years out
of Amanda. Not to mention two
red shirt freshman divers in Kim
Perez and Jessica Waldman," said
coach Hrovat.

The Clarion women finished

three relay events in the top five.
Andrea Faller, Shannon Cattoni,
Katie McNerney and Nikki
Diloreto combined for a third
place finish in the 200 yard
freestyle relay. Diloretto and
Cattoni kept it going on day two
when, they joined up with
Meghan Tracy and freshman
Missy Baer. This relay team
went on to finish third in the 400
yard medley relay.

CU women had some excellent
individual showings. Senior
Nikki Diloretto finished fifth in
the 100 yard breast stroke and
fourth in the 200 yard breast
stroke.

Shannon Cattoni also swam
well finishing fifth in the 200
yard freestyle and sixth in the 500
yard freestyle.

Meghan Tracy capped off her
junior season with two solid
events in the backstroke. She fin-
ished eighth in the 100 yard and

twelth in the 200 yard breast
stroke.

On the men's side, they finished
twelth with 109 points.
California State Bakersfield took
home the men's title with 687
points. The CU men were able to
beat out fellow PSAC team
Shippensburg. Shippensburg fin-
ished twenty third.

The CU men rode the wave of
their relay success. Doug Scott,
John Smithson, Matt

Lautenschlegar, and Gary
Auginbaugh finished tenth in the
200 yard medley relay.
Smithson, Scott, and

Lautenschlegar picked up Bill
Wright for two more relay com-
petitions. The four combined for
an eleventh place finish in the
400 yard medley relay and a thir-
teenth place in the 800 yard
freestyle relay.

The freshman shined on the
men's side as well, as Greg

Heinley finished sixth in the one
meter diving event and the three
meter event.

Doug Scott was the lone CU
swimmer to qualify to the finals
of an individual event. Scott
earned 11 points for Clarion fin-
ishing eighth in the 100 yard
backstroke. Scott also finished
eighth in the 200 yard backstroke.
This was Coach Bill Miller's
final coaching performance.
Coach Miller announced his
retirement late last year. Under
Coach Miller the lady golden
eagles have posted a 90-20 dual
meet record in 13 years. This
includes 12 PSAC titles in the
last 13 years.

On the men's side Coach Miller
has compiled a 154-38 mark in 22
years. This includes 16 PSAC
titles.

Coach Miller's assistant Mark
Van Dyke will be taking over Bill
Miller's position.

Baseball team leads off season in the state of Florida

by Bud Bender
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Clarion University baseball
kicked off a new era under first
year head coach Scott Feldman.
Feldman seems to have brought
a new energy and excitement to
a program that was almost cut a
year ago.

While most of us were either
lounging in the sun or just tak-
ing it easy two weeks ago on
spring break, the baseball team
was busy playing eight games in
five days. Which was a grueling
schedule for a team that has
practiced in a gym all winter.

The trip was a great confi-
dence boost for the Golden
Eagles. Their record of 3-5 may
not show it right now, but the
PSAC West which includes:
Slippery Rock, I.U.P, Edinboro.
California, and Lock Haven just
might end up paying attention to
Clarion in the long haul.

"Clarion has a goal," says
coach Feldman. "We want to
make the playoffs."

"We have tons of talent," siad
senior center fielder Jeff
Stanyard. "The big question
going into spring ball was our
pitching, and they came
through."

Three sophomores will be
called upon to handle a majority
of the starting work. These
sophomores are left hander
Dave Graham, and right handers
Nate Baumgardner and Rob
Saybel. There also will be two
freshman in the starting rota-
tion: Chris Karlo and Greg
Ross, both are right handers.
Greg Ross was the big surprise
of spring ball getting his first
college win 10-3 against divi-
sion II powerhouse Mercyhurst.

"He did a great job of keeping
the ball low," said coach
Feldman.

Coming out of the bullpen

Clarion will have two seniors
right hander Ed Zollinger and
left hander Kristian Schmader.
They will also have two sopho-
mores out of the pen in Jared
Nash and Jeff Spoljaric. Junior
Nate Seegers will be called on
to handles the closing rule for
the Golden Eagles.

Clarion's pitching staff, which
is mostly made up of under-
classmen, will be the position to
watch this year.

Although the majority of
Clarion's pitching staff is
young, in the field they have a
pretty expierenced core.

Junior John Mozzicio is
expected to play first base, Mike
Brown at second, Justin Nash at
short, and Ed Zollinger at third
base or Jason Haefner.
Rounding out the infield will be
catcher Tom Kaliszewski.

In the outfield going from left
to right will be Tony Babusci,

www.theclarioncall.com-

Jeff Stanyard and Nate Seegers.
The designated hitter spot
should be held by junior Mike
Morgan.

Look for Coach Feldman to
look for a lot of their leadership

to come from the field with five
seniors and four juniors. The
defense behind the pitchers
should be solid with the expier-
ence Clarion has.

New baseball coach, Feldman is a familiar face on the CU diamond

by Jerry Collier
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Although this is Scott Feldman's
first season as Head Baseball
Coach at Clarion University, he's
very familiar with the program,
having previously played and
coached for the Golden Eagles.

"I am really happy (about the
opportunity)," Feldman said. "I
always knew that coaching or
being involved in baseball some-
how is what I wanted to do."
Feldman replaces Rich Herman,
who was coaching while also
holding down the Sports
Information Director position.
Herman remains the SID.

Clarion, which finished 8-22
overall a year ago, opens its sea-
son with spring training in
Florida.

"I look forward to it every day,"

Feldman said. "I'm starting to
sleep less. I get up late at night
and run over out defenses again.
It's go time now. And that means
for everybody. You can't have a
switch, and turn it on whenever
you're her. You've always got to
be thinking about it, and you
always have to be ready to work."
Feldman, who turns 27 years old
in March, is a Brookville native.
He attended Brookville High
School, where he played football,
baseball and competed for the
track and field team.

He went to Lock Haven
University on a football scholar-
ship, played for two years, and
then transferred to Clarion. While
at Lock Haven, Feldman was a
quarterback and punter, did not
start. But he lettered one season,
playing special teams.

Feldman, who has a degree in
communications from Clarion,
played baseball for three years
with the Golden Eagles. He was a
relief pitcher his first season, a
closer in his second, and he
moved into the starting rotation
for his last year. Feldman was
named all-conference his second
season at Clarion. He graduated
in 1996, and stayed on as an assis-
tant coach the next two years.

Feldman then moved on to be
Stadium Operations Assistant
with the Montreal Expos Florida
State League team, and since
December has been the Athletic
Director of the Aspen Hills Club
in Washington, D.C.

The Golden Eagles, who last
season were 2- 1 8 in PS AC games,
have not made the PSAC playoffs
since 1984.

, "First of all, our team goal is to
make the playoffs this year,"
Feldman said. "I think we have
enough talent to do that."

"I think you cater to your per-
sonnel. This year our top five
pitchers are freshman and sopho-
mores. But our older guys are our
hitters and fielders, so this year
we're going to have a lot of hit-
and-run, a lot of hustle, and a lot
of runs. I don't want our pitchers
to go out there and feel like they
have to only give up one run.
Then if they give up two runs,
they'll get frustrated."

Feldman describes himself as an
intense player. He said he would
like to have his players emulate
the intensity.

"I yell a lot in practive, but it's
motivational," he added. "I'm just
as intense, whether it's in practive,

the weight room, batting cages or
wherever."

Feldman said being from the
area should help the recruiting
process.

"The major thing in college is
recruiting, to get the players here,"
he said. "Especially in baseball.
We need talented players.

Feldman was a three-year letter-
man and a team captain of the
1996 team with the Golden
Eagles.

"I just try to let the players
know I was in this position,"
Feldman said. "It's kind of like
listening to your parents. It isn't
until later that you find out they
were right. I let the players know
I'm not trying to be the toughest
guy in the world or anything. I
just really believe I know what it
takes to win."

Coach Righter reflects on PSAC championship and SRU loss

by Jonathan Shaffer
Clarion Call Staff Writer

For the Clarion University
men's basketball team, the end
of its season was a contrast in
opposites.

The Golden Eagles won a share
of the Pennsylvania State
Athletic Conference-Western
Division crown when they
defeated California University
67-60 Feb. 23 at Hamer
Gymnasium at Cal in the last
game of the regular season.

But Clarion's season was
ended abruptly by Slippery Rock
University when the Golden
Eagles (20-7) lost their first
round PSAC tournament game to
the Rockets 73-54 Feb. 29 at
Tippin Gymnasium.

"They basically manhandled us
in every aspect of the game,"
Clarion coach, Ron Righter said
about the Rock. "It was a very
disappointing performance. It
was a good old-fashioned butt
kicking.

"It was very humbling for our
guys. We had a wonderful sea-
son, but to have won 20 games
and to have a playoff game at
home and not perform well is
very humbling."

Clarion, who had beaten
Slippery Rock 14 times in a row
previous to the loss, was down
early in the game, trailing 31-20
at halftime while shooting 9-28
(32.1 percent) from the field in

the half.

The Rock did its share to add
to Clarion's problems by shoot-
ing 14-19 (73.7 percent) from
the floor in the second half, cata-
pulting its way to the victory.

Slippery Rock had four players
in double figures in scoring, as
James Richardson led the
Rockets with 18 points. Montez
Briggs contributed with 15
points, and Dave Freeman added
12. Jerome Davis put 10 points
on the board and grabbed 12
rebounds, while Richardson col-
lected 11 boards.

The Golden Eagles received
over half of their points from
David Shearer and Tamir Harbin,
as Shearer led the way with 20
points, while Harbin scored 17.
Clarion only shot 20-59 (33.9
percent) in the contest.

Those numbers and the result
of the game are quite different
from what the Golden Eagles
were able to accomplish at Cal,
having swept the season series
against the defending PSAC-
West champion Vulcans.

But it was Cal who had the
control of the lead for most of
the contest and led Clarion by as
many as nine points on three sep-
arate occasions in the first half.
Clarion, though, was able to pull
to within five points of the lead
with the score 32-28 at halftime.
Cal responded in the second half
by building the lead back up to

nine points at 55-46 after Cort
Hamilton made a three-pointer
with 9:02 left on the clock.

But the Golden Eagles went
undeterred and rallied to go on a
21-5 run to end the game and
clinch a share of the PSAC-West
crown. It was the second confer-
ence title in four years for the
Golden Eagles.

"We knew that if we could keep
the game to within 10 points that
we had a good chance," Righter
said. "I think the conditioning
factor was really important
because near the end they were
trailing us down the court."

Clarion received a 20-point
performance from Allen Stevens,
who had a 70 percent field goal
percentage and canned four
three-pointers. Harbin helped out
with 20 points, while Chris
Kelley pulled down 14 boards.

Despite winning the confer-
ence title only to lose in the first
round of the playoffs, Righter
believes his team "over-
achieved" and that the season
was "a ride that you didn't want
to end."

"These players overachieved
more than any other team I have
been around," Righter said.
"Most of the time this year, we
didn't match up well anywhere
with teams.

"We were riding a hot horse, a
wild stallion, that kept going for
us. We ran that horse for as long
as we could and finally it stum-
bled against Slippery Rock. You
just want to get a couple more
miles out of the horse and run it
the whole way but even the stal-
lion gets tired."

What the "stallion" did for
Clarion was helping the Golden
Eagles to a 20- win season, an 1 1-
game winning streak, and a con-
ference title. According to
Righter, these feats were unex-
pected.

"I think that most people
thought that if we could go .500
that it would be a heck of a
year," Righter said. "But these
kids gave their heart and soul for
this team."

Those "lower" expectations,
though, had some reasoning
behind them, as Clarion lost their
major point producers from last
year and had no starting seniors.

"I don't want to call this year a
rebuilding year but a reloading
year," Righter said. "We really
had to shore up the defensive end
of the floor to create some of our
offense."

The Golden Eagles averaged
80.2 points per game this year
while holding opponents to an
average of 73.4.

CLARIONS HOTTEST SPOT

Clarion Call Sports Editor

CU wrestling finishes 8th at
Eastern Wrestling League
Championships. But in the
process three CU wrestlers quali-
fied for the NCAA Division I
championships.

Mark Angles made it to nation-
als by making it to the finals of
the EWL championship at 141
pounds. Angle came into the
championship ranked 3rd. But he
has failed to wrestle in a month
due to a knee injury he had suf-
fered in practice. Angle pinned
Ryan Gucciardo and then he
pinned Pitt's Blaise Mucci in the
semifinals.

But in the finals Clarion head
coach Ken Nellis and Angle
decided to take a medical forfeit.
"We just didn't want to take the
risk of Mark re-injuring the knee
before the NCAA's" reflected
Nellis.

Angle will try to improve on
past finishes at the NCAA's. He
finished third in 1999 and fourth

in 1998.

Stan Spoor also qualified for
nationals. This will be Spoor's
second trip to nationals. Spoor
was 2-2 at EWL's to place fourth
at 149 pounds. Spoor had wins
over Cleveland State's Chris
Steadman 12-8 and Rob Weikel
of Lock Haven.

John Testa a red shirt freshman
was the third Golden Eagle
wrestler to qualify for nationals.
Testa has compiled a season
record of 25-9. He went 2-2 at
EWL's and finished fourth. Testa
had wins over Bloomsburg's Pat
Spirelli and won a medical forfeit
over Matt Mueller of Pitt.

Jesse Shirey finished off his
wrestling career at Clarion.
Shirey wrestled hard but lost two
tough matches. He lost 9-6 to
A.J. Johnsoin of Edinboro and 4-
3, to Viriginia Tech's Christian
Basnight.

Spoor, Angle, and Testa will
compete at the NCAA
Championships at the Kiel
Center in St. Louis this weekend.

Righter considered the turning
point of the season near the
beginning of conference play
when the Golden Eagles went on
"the road trip from outer space."
Clarion possessed a 10-5
record before going on a road
trip near the end of January that
saw it play at IUP, the Rock and
at Univ. of Pitt-Johnstown,
whom the Golden Eagles had
lost to at home earlier in the sea-
son.

All those teams had been or
were at the time regionally
ranked. To add even more diffi-
culty to the road trip was that
Clarion had to play the three
teams in a matter of a week.

"That is when we found our
horse from out of the moun-
tains," Righter said. "After we
had won those three games, we
(coaching staff) looked at each
other and realized that there was
something going on here."

Those victories were smack in
the middle of what became the
11-game winning streak, which
left Clarion tied with Cal atop
the conference standings.
It was a loss to IUP, Feb. 19 that
ended the winning streak and set
up the conference championship
game at Cal. Had the Golden
Eagles defeated IUP, they would
have already earned a piece of
the title.

title, the season changed from
what was to be a reloading year to
a championship one. What also
changed was the fact that Clarion
had become a group of over-
achievers who transformed into a
legitimate force to be reckoned
with.

"We are no longer the hunters,"
Righter said, "We are all the
hunted. It is one thing to over-
achieve, but it is another thing
when you are now expected to
achieve."

What is also expected from the
Golden Eagles now is the defense
of the conference crown, which,
Righter said, is no easy task.

"It will be extremely difficult,"
Righter said. "You battle for your
life night in and night out in this
league. If you have a couple of
bad nights, you can fall from first
place to fourth or fifth quickly."

Even though the loss to the Rock
left a bad taste in the team's
mouth, three players were given
PSAC honors.

Shearer was named onto the All-
PSAC West first team, and
Harbin was placed on the second
team. Freshman point guard
Rollie Smith was named PSAC-
West Rookie of the Year.

"I think he won Rookie of the
Year because people realized that
he was largely responsible for six
or seven wins that we had down
the stretch," Righter said. "He
wants to take the big shot and rel-
ishes being in tight situations."
It was the second year in a row
that a Golden Eagle was named
Rookie of the Year. Shearer was
given the honor last season.

Considering what was expected
from the Clarion this year and
what actually happened was a

"dream come true", according to
Righter, and sets a new standard
for next season.

"To have won 20 games this sea-
son with a very difficult schedule
in a difficult league and region, it
is just incredible," Righter said.
"I am really proud of them and
they should hold their heads high.
It was a special year.

"For us to become a NCAA
tournament team, we still need an
improved inside game offensive-
ly and defensively. We have to fill
a few spots to improve the match-
ups. If we can do that, then we
will be a formidable foe for any-
body.

"We want to make it so that other
coaches look at our name in the
schedule and know that they have
to come in here and have their
kids play their best game. I know
that I wouldn't want to play us."

Clarion Call Staff Writer

Captain's Drew Mc Williams and
Bill Evans had lot to be proud of
at the last CU hockey game. Not
because of there combination of
eight points, but simply because
not every hockey team walks
away with a 9-0 win. Clarion
showed excellent offense and
defense capability, out shooting
the opposition 27-11.

The scoring came early in the
first period for Clarion when
winger Jeff Hartman slipped one
in to make it 1-0, then two minutes
later the score became 2-0
Clarion, when center Bill Evans
fired a blistering wrist shot in the
upper right corner. Things started
to slow down for Clarion until
9:50 left in the first period when
Drew McWilliams set Andy
Boarts up with the one time in
front of the net that put Clarion up
3-0.

The second period was full of
excitement as Drew McWilliams
recorded three goals resulting in a
hat trick. Bill Evans with two
assists and scored a goal riffling
wrist shot from the top of the zone
by Christian Vanassa. Other scor-
ing came from great individual

efforts from Steve Seiler, and Jeff
VanStone, Seiler with two goals,
and Van Stone with two assists.

As the third period drew to a
close the Golden Eagles switched
more to a defensive game. CU
only had in six shots in that peri-
od, trying to keep the puck out of
their zone in order to help out
Clarion goal tender. CU goal ten-
der Joe Nemet who had an out-
standing night as he posted his
first ever shutout for Clarion.

The Golden Eagles continued
their winning streak Monday night
in Kittanning as they skated to a
11-1 victory. This marks the best
winning streak in Clarion Ice
Hockey history four games in a
row.

The game was controlled by
Clarion from the first face off
when Drew McWilliams scored
25 seconds into the first period
with the setup from Jeremy Klescz
and Bill Evans. The scoring didn't
stop there, as Rich Caporal scored
two minutes later. Minutes after
that Drew McWilliams popped in
a rebound shot from Jeff Vanstone
to make it 3-0.

Other goals were scored by
Clarion were from Steve Seiler,
Jeff Hartman, Bill Evans, and
Jeremy Klescz.

PA Legislator attacks State Schools

by Brian Sow a

Clarion Call

Circulation Manager

State Representative Lita Cohen, a
Republican legislator from Montgomery
County, recently attacked The State System
of Higher Education schools and their grad-
uates.

While speaking at a House Appropriations
Meeting on Tuesday, February 29, she stat-
ed that SSHE graduates were unprepared
and not employable in the work force.

"Coupled with the fact that many of us
speak on a regular basis to business people,
not only in our districts, but across the state,
and what they are saying to us is that
they're getting job applicants," Cohen said,
"and some times, in this economy, they
have to hire people who are graduates that
went to the State System, be it for four, five,
six or 1 00 years after graduating and they
have to retrain them, that they can't write
simple sentences, that they simply are not
prepared, not just to go out into the business
world but to get a job in any type of indus-

try or profession."

Cohen, a graduate of Ivy League's
University of Pennsylvania, went on to
inform Chancellor James McCormick that,
"Your graduates aren't fit for any type of
job."

Chancellor McCormick immediately
questioned her remarks, citing high job
placement rates for graduates of SSHE
schools.

A recent survey of 300 Pennsylvania
employers found that ninety-five percent of
SSHE graduates are more than adequately
prepared.

"Representative Cohen's remarks about
the State System graduates were wrong and
not based on reality," said Ron Wilshire,
Director of University Relations at Clarion
University. "Clarion and the State System
points with pride to our successful gradu-
ates and the impact they are having on
Pennsylvania."

Representative Cohen also criticized the
graduation rate at State System schools dur-
ing the Appropriation Meeting.

"These students are going to school on

taxpayers dollars; many, many with
PHEAA dollars, which is in addition to
what the taxpayers are giving to the schools
and System directly, and yet, at best, after
six years, you have a 56 percent graduation
rate," she said.

According to University Relations,
Clarion University's four year graduation
rate is 29.5 percent. These figures represent
the freshman class of 1994.

This rate is higher than the SSHE average
of 24 percent. Clarion University's six year
graduation rate is currently 60.8 percent for
regular students. These figures are higher
than other well known universities in the
area such as Penn State, Rutgers and
Drexel. The State System of Higher
Education's combined six year graduation
rate of 56 percent fairs well with some of
the most prestigious institutions in the
northeast, such as Ohio State and the
University of Massachusetts.

"The State System is very interested in
improving our four year and six year grad-
uation rates even though they are currently
above the national average," said Kenn

Marshall, SSHE press secretary.

Following Representative Cohen remarks,
system alumni, professors, and other sup-
porters have entered the conflict. Various
alumni associations have begun writing
campaigns and have been encouraging
alumni to call Cohen to voice their displea-
sure. The day following the budget hear-
ing, the system's professors union pulled
their endorsement of Cohen.

"I believe that the comments were unfair
to our graduates and basically untrue," said
Dr. Diane Reinhard, Clarion University
President. "Our alumni have been very
forceful; I am pleased to see how active
they have been to set the record straight."

According to Ed Nolan, Vice Chancellor
of System Relations, a large part of the role
of the State System is to provide the oppor-
tunity to receive a higher education to stu-
dents who might not have the means finan-
cially or grades to attend a private school.

"I feel that Representative Cohen holds a
very elitist view," said Maria Massie, a
senior Music Marketing and Spanish major.

Tragedy strikes Bloomsburg University again

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor ^

History has repeated itself again
at Bloomsburg University of
Pennsylvania, taking the lives of
three Tau Kappa Eplison fraterni-
ty members early morning
Sunday, March 18.

"it's not supposed to happen
twice, not in the same place," said
University spokesman Jim
Hollister. who also is advisor to
the 1 8-member fraternity. "I just
sat with a room full of guys for the
longest 45 minutes of my life."

The five residents and an alum-
nus of the fraternity who were vis-

iting for the weekend were in the
fraternity-owned house near cam-
pus when the fire broke out,
according to Associated Press.

According to police, students
escaped by jumping from a sec-
ond-story window, and a third fled
out the front door. One student
reported having heard a smoke
alarm, while all reported awaken-
ing to find heavy smoke in the
house.

Dave Puleri and Keven Murphy,

who are members of the fraternity

and James Dezzi a visiting alumni

escaped the flames unharmed.

ternity.

Bloomsburg Town Police Chief

around 3:30 a.m. Smith con-
firmed that there were no signs of
disorderly conduct and no inci-
dent reports.

"They were a great bunch of
guys, a really close-knit fraternity,
much like a lot of the fraternities
here on campus," said Brian
Almonrode, president of the uni-
versity's council of fraternities.

"All were in the prime of their
lives. All were in col lege- learn-
ing about what they someday
would do, and forming who they
someday would become. All
leave behind families who will
miss them terribly. And all leave

behind a college campus and
Pennsylvania community in
shock," said Pennsylvania
Governor Tom Ridge.

This is the second deadly off-
campus blaze at the Pennsylvania
school in six years, officals said.

"Yes, we have another terrible
tragedy," Kozloff said. "I think it
would be unfortunate, however,
not to recognize that it is just that.
It is a tragic accident that has
occurred - in a house that is not
owned by the absentee landlord
but by the fraternity itself..."

Negativity ranenfoered;

Have you ever noticed how one negative thing can
overshadow a number of good, things? We pose this
question in light of the recent bashing Clarion fra-
ternities have been taking.

Let's face it, not all fraternities are like the one on
the famous "Animal House" movie. People in the
community are sometimes led to believe this stereo-
type. How can an entire community can judge all
fraternities because of the unfortunate incidents that
have recently occurred at Clarion University. They
pick up a newspaper and see a stabbing at a fraterni-
ty house, or an alcohol bust at a fraternity social
gathering. These incidents are definitely problems
and are newsworthy. They should be reported and
they are. But the public needs to realize what posi-
tive things the fraternities bring.

Last weekend every fraternity participated in the
Clarion's children fun fair. Every fraternity spent
eight hours of their day helping little kids have a fun
day. How many articles besides the one which ran
on the front page of The Clarion Call were writ-
ten about this? How many people in the communi-
ty knew about this? It may not be that exciting, but
this event should help the community to realize fra-
ternities do more than get into trouble.

A couple of sayings come to mind when this topic
is discussed. "Don't let a few bad apples spoil the
whole bunch." "There is more to it than meets the
eye." These are only a few sayings that one should
remember when looking at this situation. Try to use
this frame of mind when thinking about the situa-
tion. It will help you see the big picture of circum-
stances.

Your Views

Measuring Success and Graduation

Questions recently were raised in Harrisburg about
the four-year graduation rates of students at public
universities and the education they are receiving. As
president of the Clarion University Alumni
Association, I feel some of the comments and statis-
tics used in this discussion miss the mark.

One of the central missions of public universities
like Clarion University and the State System of
Higher Education is to provide access to the citizens
of Pennsylvania. We have done that by providing a
quality education at an affordable rate.

Clarion University's graduation rates and time of
graduation meet or exceed national standards for
similar institutions. At Clarion, we take pride in
preparing our students for life after graduation.
Research shows 98 percent of our graduates are
employed or seeking additional advanced degrees.

There are many reasons why a student may not be
able to graduate in four years, but these same student
do have an opportunity to earn a degree in four years
or less.

The statistics do not include the reasons for stu-
dents not graduating in four years at a particular uni-
versity. Financial reasons for students are often the
leading factor for students dropping out of college.
While institutions like Clarion University are some
of the most affordable, the cost of higher education is
too much for some students and their families and

sufficient financial aid is not available for some of
these students. The economic climate is also anoth-
er financial consideration, with some students drop-
ping out to take a job immediately and finishing their
education at a later date.

Family reasons are the second largest factor in deci-
sions to leave a university. Personal reasons are part
of life and are often not related to the type of educa-
tion a student was receiving at a particular universi-
ty-
Transfers are also included in figures for someone
who doesn't graduate. Students may elect to finish
their degree at another institution, perhaps one closer
to home or a school with different programs or exper-
tise. However, statistics will only report that a trans-
fer student did not graduate within four years at the
university where they first enrolled.

Proposals to link some Commonwealth funding to
a university's ability to graduate 40 percent of its stu-
dents in four years is not realistic when all of the
information is reviewed. According to the
Graduation Rate Survey from the Consortium for
Student Retention Data Exchange (CSRDE), the six-
year graduation rate is the standard measurement rate
for accurate comparisons. Clarion's average six-year
graduation rate for all students is 53.9 percent and
60.8 percent for regular admits. Clarion far exceeds
the national six-year and four-year graduation rates

"The way I see it, i spent
what might have been the
best years of my life bust-
ing my balls oyer some-
thing that was never
going to hajipea "

Jerry Collier

So you want to be a reporter?

If I could do it all over again, I
think I would be a speech patholo-
gist. I'm not sure. That's why I
say I "think".

But I know I would not choose
the same occupation.
Now I'm too burnt to get through
a speech pathology program, so
I'm not even going to try at this
point.

I was a sports editor and corre-
spondent for two newspapers dur-
ingr a span of about five years. It
wasn't pretty. I worked both jobs
simultaneously, and I pulled down
about $18,000 a year total
between the two jobs. That's 18k
after about four years on the jobs
( plural ).

I just turned 34 years old on Feb.
16, and I'm broke, both financial-
ly and emotionally. The way I see
it, I spent what might have been
the best years of my life busting
my balls over something that was
never going to happen.

I'm also still single, which I
don't like. I believe I'm still sin-
gle because I don't have a career,
and that means no money, honey.
Maybe the reason I was not
'successful' in the business was
becasue I wasn't good enough. Or
maybe I didn't know or, uh, well,
didn't know the 'right people'. I
honestly believe having the right
connections is the key element in

becoming 'successful.' Skills and
experience - I'd rather be related.
I also believe I was better than
the majority of the people I
worked with, or with whom I
worked. Either way. It wasn't
even close. And it also didn't mat-
ter.

And I got so wrapped up in it all,
I thought like that. That's pathet-
ic.

I graduated from Clarion
University in 1988. After a one-
year stint in retail sales, I moved
into a disc jockey position at a
small-town radio station. It was a
cutthroat environment — jealousy,
competition, etc. — so I hated it. I
was at the radio station for about
one and a half years.

I began my first newspaper job
during the middle of 1991. I start-
ed out stringing (corresponding)
for a small weekly newspaper. It
quickly became a full-time job,
and I added some correspondence
work for a much larger daily
newspaper. Eventually I began
doing a lot more work for the daily
paper. I would have liked to have
gotten a full-time job there, but it
never happened.

The cutthroat stuff was going on
at both newspapers as well, so I
was disenchanted with that aspect

"Do I head out to fulfill
this artificial dreain or do

I stay where iny Cainily
and friends are; the peo-
ple who really care what
happens to me "

Maria Massie, Secretary

During the last five years here
at Clarion, I always thought that I
knew what I wanted to do with
my life after graduation. With
my Music Business and Spanish
degrees, I wanted to work in the
music industry and eventually,
join the Latin American division
of a bigtime music corporation.
However, it's amazing how your
plans change!

When I was 10 years old, this
new girl moved to the neighbor-
hood named Amy. She was 14.
Within the first week of meeting,
we hung out everyday. Our
group friendship, along with
Jessica and Nikki, was insepara-
ble. All of us spent the night at
someone's house at least once a
week during the school year. In
the summer, we would be dressed
and meet each other at 9 a.m. and
stay together until each one had
to go home, usually at 10 p.m.
when it got dark. (I was allowed
to stay out with my older friends.)

When I hit 12 years old, Nikki
and Amy were able to drive. We
used to go to those teenage clubs
every Friday night. We became
regulars at Faces. Singing and
dancing to all those Salt-N-Pepa

songs, also, LL. Cool J., NWA,
Rob Base and DJ Eazy Rock (Ok,
I'll stop there since "Grandma"is
really showing her age!)

Somehow over the years Nikki,
who moved, and Jessica faded
out of our relationship. At one
point, we hadn't spoken in 2
years and on a surprise visit to
Amy's house, they asked her,
"Do you still talk to Maria?" She
responded, "Yes, she walked to
the store with my sister to get
some milk."

Amy and I have been friends for
more than 13 years now but we
have had our differences. Amy
moved away during my sopho-
more year in high school. It was
very hard for us not to see each
other constantly and to be a part
of our families' lives (yes, our
respective mothers who we both
call "Mom" missed their other
"child".)

Eventually, our lives changed in
different directions. I moved to
Clarion to begin college, and she
had a baby girl, named Brittany
Melissa, who is my goddaughter.
Even through all of these
changes, we stayed friends, but it

OPINION

Commentary

by Keith Gwillim
Lifestyles Ed.

People seem to like my "list"
columns more than anything else,
so I'll try and give another one a
go. I live in Pittsburgh, also
known as "Hell," and they show
these programs there called
"Things That Aren't There
Anymore." Basically, these pro-
grams are made so old people can
reminisce about having to walk
barefoot to school over broken
glass for five miles just so their
teachers could molest them with
rulers, and eat raw chipmunk for
lunch in the cafeteria. Anyway, I
like them too, which means I'm
either a doofus, or a history buff
(maybe the two go hand in hand).
But I digress - here's my list of
things that aren't there anymore
(not localized to the 'Burgh):

1) Spud MacKenzie. Them
Budweiser Frogs will never com-
pete with this beer-hawkin'
hound. We miss you, man.

2) Anthony Michael Hall. The
quintessential dork. This guy was
my hero in junior high.

3) My prank phone callers'
brains. Of course, that's assuming
they ever had any. I doubt it.

4) Saturday morning cartoons.
What 5 year-old kid wants to
watch the news at 9 in the morn-
ing. Today's youth are so
deprived

5) Moncheechees. (I'm on a

cartoon kick recently). Am I the
only one who remembers this
god-awful 'toon? I guess so.

6) Duran Duran. Man, that rap
version of "Notorious" blows.

Massiel To chose family or a dream, from Page 3

didn't get easier for us not to stay in touch as much until recently when our lives were changed forever.

On Tuesday, January 25, 2000, four days before her mother's wedding. Amy fainted in the supermarket.
For weeks, she had complained about migraines. She thought it was her wisdom teeth. After all the tests,
she learned that she had a brain tumor the size of lemon (it had been there for 15 years.)

I went home Friday night and found out the news. It definitely cast a shadow over the wedding the next
day. The first week of February, she had it removed. That Tuesday was the longest day of my life. I have
never cried and waited so much in my life. I don't even remember my classes that day.

By the end of the day good news had come. The ten hour surgery only took 4 hours. Everything was
removed but the wait was even longer. The next week we learned that it was cancerous. The week after, we
were told that there was no more cancer. That was the best news that I've heard in a long time!!!

These last few weeks, my life has changed. I always wanted to leave Pittsburgh and head for the bigtime.
(or at least some other city with a better job market). Now, I'm in one of the biggest dilemmas I've had to
personally face. Do I head out to fulfill this artificial dream or do I stay where my family and friends are;
the people who really care what happens to me. What is my choice? Music is my love and it's still my dream
to be behind the scenes of the music industry.

As I leave here, I have to make these decisions and you will too someday. I hope you make the right deci-
sion of what's most important to you.

(To Thembi, Meredith, and Jarrett; it's been rough to get more time together but no matter where I am, you
will be very close to my heart. I love you!!! To my roommates Becky, Jackie, and Leslie, thanks for being
there when I cried (all the time) these last few weeks and for making me laugh when I needed it.)

of the business. I realize you have those things going on wherever you
go, but I think it may be more prevalent in arts-related fields.

Anyway, I never made it to a large-market newspaper, and I never will
since I've given up trying to get there.

But that was also never a goal of mine when I was young. I wanted
to be a television and/or radio sports broadcaster when I was in high
school, but I had a face and body for radio (I lost about 60 pounds while
I was in college, and I recently had a nose job.) So my focus in college
was radio.

I don't know if the work environment is different at a large-market
newspaper, but I imagine it is. And since I've given up, I won't bother
trying to contact people from large-market newspapers to find out for
sure. Besides, even if someone is disenchanted, they probably won't tell
me. Maybe they would tell their spouse, but probably not me. Who
wants to make waves when you have a job like that? Of course I'm
assuming, which is not supposed to be acceptable in the business, but it
happens. So do a lot of other things, but what can you do?

Still, just like any job, you can have a positive or negative experience.
My experience was negative, but that doesn't mean your experience will
be negative.

You could catch a break and be a big-time reporter, or you could also
spend your entire career in a small market and be perfectly happy.

The demand for writers and editors is on the rise, but the need for
reporters and correspondents is on the decline, according to the 1998-99
Occupational Outlook Handbook . I have included information from this
publication regarding job outlook and salary for writers, editors,
reporters and correspondents.

I should also refer you to the first paragraph at this point. Stop after
the last word and return here.

The first rule of journalism (according to me): Cover your ass. The
second rule: Never assume, unless they mean:The Position."

I left college the first time not knowing where I would end up or what
I would end up doing. Don't let that happen to you.

Graduation! Clarion Alumni respond to the recent
remarks against state schools, from Page 2.

for all similar CSRDE institutions. The national six-year average
graduation rate for similar institutions is 42.7 percent.

We cannot escape the fact that it is taking some students longer
to earn a degree, but times have changed. Today's students are
preparing for a more difficult market place than students 10 years
ago, many are now pursuing double majors and taking more elec-
tives to prepare themselves for the current job market. This takes
more time to complete.

I would also like to stress that we are proud of our accessibil-
ity. We are here for students throughout Pennsylvania. We take
students who are bright and have potential. Some high school
graduates come to us who are not totally prepared for the college
experience, for one reason or another. Clarion's enrollment man-
agement programs looks at how best to ensure that these students
are successful in college.

The 40 percent proposal could work against the academic
health of our universities. The goal looks at one statistic, but
ignores the education students are recieving. One of the most
dangerous aspects of the proposal is that it could result in encour-
aging some institutions to lower standards for high quality pro-
grams.

The questions raised in Harrisburg use statistics that pit uni-
versities like Clarion with access missions against universities
that serve a few. The statistics take a selective look at the past
but ignore the mission and true impact on the lives of
Pennsylvania residents.

We believe and invest in the future. We know that a college
education is more than a statistic.

her views on state Rep. Lita Cohen, from Page 4.

grads, they have to restrain them, because the State System simply does
not prepare its students for any sort of work.
Well, excuse me, Lita.

I write these feeble sentences as a magna cum laude graduate of
Millersville University with a master degree from Temple. (Psst, Lita,
magna is one step above cum laude.)

But I know, as a graduate of Penn, feels superior to me and to some
of her fellow House members, including Rep. Peter Daley, a Democrat
and graduate of California University of Pennsylvania and John
Lawless, another Montgomery County Republican, who has a diploma
from West Chester. Miffed, they verbally jabbed Lita a few times on
the House floor the other day, suggesting she is wealthy elitist.

Please note that her pedigree also makes her superior to our own Lt.
Gov. Mark Schweiker, who might have had something to say about his
alma mater, Bloomsburg University, except that he's been in India.

As a State System grad, I haven't been able to figure out he's been
doing in India on official Pennsylvania business.

But if Mark could, I'm sure he'd defend Bloomsburg as a place that
prepared him well for whatever it is that he does.

I know it did a great job for one of my co-workers, a guy who sits
across from me. He's a really hard worker, and we hardly ever have to
explain anything to him.

And the fellow who edits this column is a graduate of Shippensbug
University, who came down out of the hills of Huntingdon County and
into semi-civilization to learn lots and lots about readin' and writin'.

I'd call him successful, although he doesn't maqke so much as fellow
Ship grad Dean Koontz, who writes thousands of sentences, on after
another, in those very strange but very popular books of his.

While I don't know Dean Koontz personally, I'd suspect from read-
ing his books that he, just as many state system grads, can do a wee bit
of math, which seems to have escaped our Lita.

The 59-year-old Lita, in a halfhearted apology, said she inserted her
foot into her mouth our of "youthful exuberance."

Yo, Lita, you're not young. You walked away with your big deal

bachelor's degree in 1962. You're
six years away from Social Security.
Yet, despite your ignorance and
insulting comments, you're almost
off the hook, Lita. You're about to
be saved by one of your own.

Tom Druce makes a court appear-
ance today, and that's going to take
a lot of media pressure off you, Lita.
You know Tom, don't you? Fellow

old, private, liberal arts school.

Legislator) PA Representative Cohen attacks State System schools, from Page 1.

"I do not come from 'privileged' money, where I can
afford to attend a private school."

Many students of the State System are either paying
their own way through school or are required to work
a job to support themselves. The 56 percent gradua-
tion rate does not compensate for students who take
time off, who do not take a full class schedule,
change majors or lose credits when they transfer
from other schools.

"Representative Cohen is way off base with her
remarks," said State Senator Mary Jo White, who
recently spoke at Clarion University. "That is not my
perception of State System's graduates."

The day following Cohen's remarks, two of her col-
leagues ridiculed her on the house floor concerning
her wealth and status as an alumni of the University
of Pennsylvania.
"I was not born of an affluent family, I could not

afford private education," said Rep. Peter Daley, a
graduate of California University of Pennsylvania.
Daley went on to ask Cohen to apologize about the
comments she made at the House Appropriations
meeting.

Rep. John Lawless, a West Chester alumni, stated
that Cohen's remarks "demonstrated a certain sign of
class bigotry."

"I insist that the State System of Higher Education,
its programs, and personnel be open for review and
evaluation. We must always be receptive to con-
structive criticism as a means to improve our stew-
ardship," wrote F. Eugene Dixon Jr., chairman of the
board of governors. "However, we will not consider
the biased words of ignorance as worthy of our
time."

Representative Cohen could not be reached for
comment.

make decisions on their own about their lifestyle and
where they're going to live," Kozloff said. "We can't
protect them from everything."

The reason of the deadly blaze that caused the TKE
house to burn to the ground, is still unknown. Police
said that the neighboring three-story home was
scorched and sustained severe damages inside.

"There's any number of things it could be," said
Bloomsburg police Sgt. Joe Wondoloski. "We can't
rule out a cigarette being thrown down and smoldering,
or an electrical overload. There were space heaters
there. There was a DJ there at one point."

"I can assure you that if we discover that this
occurred because of any negligence.. .we will certainly
take measures to make sure it doesn't happen again,"
said Bloomsburg University President Jessica Kozloff.

According to town code enforcement officer Dean
Von Blohn, the TKE house was inspected in October
1999 and 12 code violations were found, however,
these infractions were repaired and the house passed

code inspection in January. An uncharged fire extin-
guisher, a smoke detector missing a battery, five elec-
tric space heaters and an upstairs door missing a door-
knob, among other violations were found by code
enforcement officials in October. The repairs were
made by January, and the house was given a clean bill
of health.

The fatal fire that killed five people at the Beta Sigma
Delta fraternity house on October 2 1 , 1994 was caused
by a smoldering sofa, and was blamed on smoke detec-
tors with no batteries. In response to this fire, Kozloff
said, the university had revised its procedures and pro-
vided education and training for students living off-
campus.

"To their families, friends and fraternity brother; to
the Bloomsburg University family, and the entire com-
munity of Bloomsburg; to all those who mourn today,
know that all of Pennsylvania mourns with you," said
Governor Ridge.

Politeness a lost art in American culture

Even as Americans become richer and more techno-
logically proficient, we are getting ruder. At home, on
the highway and on the job, bad manners are likelier to
win out over good ones.

Three-fourths of workers agree the workplace had
become a ruder place in the past decade. Companies
are paying the price for the growing lack of civility,
according to Christine Pearson, professor at the
University of North Carolina and director of the survey.

Fifty-two percent lost work time worrying and 22
percent intentionally cut back on their work effort in
response to shabby treatment on the job.

Pearson theorized bad manners are a direct result of
ill will from previous downsizing, and the increasing
pressure to do more with less, as well as from technol-
ogy like e-mail enabling employees to "zap" one
another anonymously.

If our language is any indication, then our manners
have definitely slipped. During my own research, I
found people swear an average of 16 times a day.
One-third of us say if we have to belch, we simply let it
rip

A third of us admit that given the opportunity we

sometimes or always poke around in other people's
medicine cabinets. Slightly more of us sometimes or
always steal a glance at other people's mail.

yet shreds of decency and courtesy in America
remain. Some 72 percent of the overall population —
and, amazingly, 80 percent of Generation X — say
they give up a seat on a bus for a pregnant or elderly
person. Eighty-four percent say they typically step
back to allow women to get off the elevator before
them.

Yet our movie manners seem to have improved in
other aspects. Where audiences once hissed and booed
irritating theater ads, now they're essentially indiffer-
ent, getting up for popcorn or chatting. And once the
film starts, two-thirds of us become vigilant, reminding
talkers to mind their manners with a loud shush.

An amazing figure, given the current antismoking
attitude, is our attitude to cigarette smokers. If a fellow
restaurant patron is puffing away and the smoke was
bothering us, nearly three of four of us won't say any-
thing but simply inhale and bear it.

Advance team to curb drinking

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor

Students leaders of Clarion University were
invited to particpate in a meeting on Tuesday,
March 14, 2000 regarding the issues of drinking
and violence at Clarion University.

Dr. George Curtis, Vice President for Student
Affairs, announced that the Univesity was estab-
lishing an Advance Team to deal with the issues
that are facing all of the schools in the state sys-
tem.

Members of the University's advance team are
Dr. Anand Rao, Associate Professor of Speech,
Communication, and Theater, Mr. Harry Tripp,
Vice President of Advancement, and Dr. George
Curtis.

According to Dr. Rao the purpose of the com-
mittee is to get Interfraternity Council,
Panhellenic Council, and the other leadership
groups to get together to to get the word out about
providing a safe environment for the students.

"This isn't just going to be the University
administration telling the students what to do.
We're going to work together to establish long
term commitments," said Rao.

The Chief of Police of the Clarion Borough also
spoke about the Community Relations Committee
that will be working on these same issues within
the community.

On March 16th, a national teleconference was
held regarding binge drinking and understanding
what steps should be taken. Members of the stu-
dent body, especially the Greek community, rep-

j " m "imii

ta .. . .V

ill

resented their organizations throughout the three
hour conference.

Mr. Spear, an attorney in the area, will address
the Clarion community on March 27th regarding
alcohol issues and the law.

Finally, the University will be asking students to
fill out surveys regarding students drinking
habits.

"Students are generally honest in their evalua-
tions," Curtis said.

The center of discussion at this meeting was to

inform students of the of the stand that the uni-
versity is going to take in repsonse to parties and
violence in off campus homes.

"I don't want to say that you can't hold par-
ties. ..but when guns and violence become
involved, the local community gets scared, " rao
said.

Some student concerns included the fact that the
same standard doesn't hold trues for community
residents who come to these residences and start
trouble or who carry weapons themselves.

Students said that the negativity always revolves
around clarion University students.

"Unfortunately, this is a double standard. But,
local law enforcement at this meeting are going to
be working with the community and high schools
on their own level," Rao added.

Members of the Greek community were also
concerned that they weren't getting the positive
attention that they deserved.

"Unfortunatelty they don't get all of the atten-
tion they deserve. Positive things aren't noticed as
mcuh as one negative thing. Vice President Tripp
offered his assistance in getting the word out for
press coverage. The comunity needs to recoignize
the good things that are done by our stuents," Rao
said.

It was also announced at the meetings that some
National and International headquarters of the
sororities and fraternities on Clarion's campus
voted to make parties and mixer alcohol free. This
would include those that are over 21.

There will be a meeting to discuss this issue at
a later date. Neither Interfraternity Council and
Panhellenic Council have voted on this decision.

Clarion County Police Chief Eric Shaffer said
that they are looking out for the saftey of the stu-
dents and for the community.

"The blame is on the circumstances and not the
people. You need to weed out the bad seeds in
your organzaitions that bring down the rest of the
group," Shaffer said.

University action being taken at this time also
came days before the death of three Bloomsburg
University students in a Tau Kappa Epsilon
Fraternity house.

"This was really a treagedy. I am not sure of the
conditions of the house, but I hope the University
can keep this from happening here. I am not sure
where the University has jurisdiction in off cam-
pus housing arrangements, but but we should be
giving students guidelines," Rao said.

Student members are still being sought for this
committee. Anyone interested in participating
may contact Dr. Anand Rao, Dr. George Curtis, or
Mr. Harry Tripp.

Student Senate proposes constitution revisions

March 23, 2000

The Clarion Call

Page 9

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

The Constitution of the Clarion Students'
Association was presented on Monday, March
13, at the Student Senate meeting and is pro-
posed to undergo several changes.

They discussed adding the approval of two-
thirds of Senate members to have the authori-
ty to recommend, budget, allocate, and distrib-
ute the Student Activity Fee of CSA, for the
following academic year with the President of
the University in accordance with his/her
responsibilities in Act 188 of the 1992 General
Assembly and Policy 1983-03- A of the Board
of Governors.

If organizations petition in writing to Senate
additional funds, beyond budget allocations,
Senate must approve with a majority of mem-
bers. A majority of Student Senate constitutes
1 1 members. This will eliminate a minority of
members to deny or approve a vote due to peo-
ple abstaining. Although the current Senate
has not had problems with Senators abstain-
ing, last years Senate ran into several prob-
lems.

Senator Ben Chervenak said, "I feel this
change is important for the appropriation
process so that allocations can not pass with a
minority of the Senate."

A minimum of 11 meetings will be held dur-
ing the 15 week session, which will require
Senate to hold at least three meetings a month
if the proposed changes go through. Currently
it is only mandatory that Student Senate holds
ten meetings per semester during the academ-
ic year.

Two-thirds of Student Senators will be
required to approve excused absences. The
current constitution states Student Senate may
excuse a Student Senator from an unexcused

absence by a two-thirds majority vote of the
Student Senate.

"We want to ensure that Senator's use their
vote in a proper manner," said Student Senate
President Leslie Suhr.

Student Senators will also be required to
make a motion for approval for excusal at the
next regularly scheduled meeting. Failure to
do so will result in an automatic unexcused
absences. Currently there are no regulations as
to when Senators need to ask for excusal.

Death in the family, unexpected job obliga-

tions, interviews, illness, and out of town
classroom requirements are the only valid rea-
sons for an excused absence in the current pro-
posed changes to the Senate constitution. In
the past there has not been any definition as to
what makes an absence excused or unexcused.
Parliamentarian Mike Magieri said, "The
changes we are making would discourage
absenteesim therefore creating more voices to
be heard during the meetings."

Two proposed additions are being considered
to the Student Senate Presidents duties. He
or she will also be a member of any University
committee when asked to serve by university
faculty or administration. The President will
be required to act as a liaison between Student
Senate. Vice President of Student Affairs, the
President of Clarion University, and/or the

Student Senate advisor. The need for this
amendment would be to ensure a good work-
ing relationship with the Vice President of
Student Affairs in the event that Dr. George
Curtis who currently fills that position and is
Student Senate Advisor should retire.

There have been five proposed addition to
the Vice Presidents duties. He or she will be
required to report the progress of committee
chairs to the Executive Committee on a bi-
weekly basis, attend all Board of Student
Government Presidents meetings with the
Student Senate President, oversee the duties of
the Student Senate Secretary, be responsible
for involving Student Senate in Report pro-
jects, community service activities, etc, and
attend all Student Trustee meetings in the
absence of the Student Senate President.

It was also proposed to add a duty to the
Parlimetarian position. He or she would be
responsible in assisting the rules, regulations,
and policies committee in aiding organizations
with the development of a constitution.

"These changes to the constitution will help
the Student Senate continue to serve the stu-
dent body in the most beneficial matter." said
Treasurer Brian Sowa. "We feel that Senate
needs to continually review our constitution
and adapt it as our university and student body
changes."

The proposed changes will be voted on next
week at the Monday, March, 27 Student
Senate meeting by Senators. The consitution
is then required to be approved by the student
body during Student Senate elections which
will be held Monday, April 3, Tuesday, April 4.
and Wednesday, April 5. After it is approved
by the student body, it is required to be
approved by the president of the university and

the university council of trustees.

^ i-saa-723-mm .

At the Tuesday, March 21,
Clarion Students' Association
Board (CSA) of Directors meeting,
the Viz Artz Club approached the
Board to discuss student artwork in
the new coffee shop.

Jim Rose, Viz Artz advisor, and
Jason Strohm, President of Viz
Artz discussed the confusion that
occured recently between the
Board and the club.

Rose appologized for any misun-
derstandings and said the club
doesn't have a problem working
with the committee to place atr-
work in the coffee shop. He also
said that if the Board is interested
in student artwork being displayed,
they should send a memo to him.

In other news, the manager of the
Clarion University Book Center,
Ed Biertempfel, was present to dis-
cuss any questions concerning the

book stores budget. The Board
discussed the deferred compensa-
tion in the budget, in which
Biertempfel pointed out that the
auditor suggested that the compen-
sation should be included in the
budget.

Part of the furniture for the cof-
fee shop has already arrived and
the rest will be delivered by
Thursday, April 6. It was also dis-
cussed that the atmosphere of the
shop would be improved by new
lighting. Larry Jamison Alumni
Representative suggested track
lighting to be an affordable solu-
tion.

In unfinished business the Board
formed a sub-committee to draw
up a response to the Auditor
General concerning the 19% Audit
of the CSA. The response has to
be filed by May 2.

The next CSA Board of
Directors meeting will be held
Tuesday. April 4 at 5:00 p.m.

ical benefits, and jot) responsibil-
ities.

According to Kevin Kodish,
APSCUF representative, there
are over 350 non-faculty coach-
es in the bargairwig unit over the
state. These coaches are work-
ing for surprisingly low pay, poor
working conditions, and RtBe or
no job security.

After a long battle with the state
system the coaches were finaty
able to unionize. They chose
APSCUF as their representa-
tives, said Ray Pointer, APSCUF
representative and professor of
Chemistry.

Many Pennsylvanians may be
shocked to learn that some
State System coaches qualified
for food stamps, and other gov-
ernment assistance programs in
recent years.

by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Honors were awarded to the Clarion
University of Pennsylvania's Small Business
Development Center (SBDC) by the
Northwest Pennsylvania Regional Planning
and Development Center. The SBDC was pre-
sented with a plaque and a letter from
Governor Tom Ridge during a special ceremo-
ny held in January.

The plaque reads: "Clarion University Small
Business Development Center. In recognition

ic development achievements of northwestern

Regional Planning and Development commis-
sion."

Returning adult student recognized

Ellen Ridge honors Clarion University student with award

by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Staff Writer

A returning adult student at Clarion
University of Pennsylvania's Venango
Campus, Eileen Ebbert, was recently hon-
ored with the Pennsylvania Association for
Adult Continuing Education (PAACE)
Award. Ebbert, of Oil City, is one recipient
out of ten students in Pennsylvania to win
the award annually.

Pennsylvania First Lady, Ellen Ridge,
presented the award to Ebbert on February
2, during ceremonies held in Hershey, PA.
The following criteria were used as a basis
forjudging recipients: involvement in the
community and institutions, grade point
average, creative attempts to meet personal
education needs, coping with difficult situ-
ations, while attending college, sensitizing
the institutions to the needs of adult stu-
dents, successfully playing many roles,
supporting others who return to school, and
strength of reference provided.

Ebbert, a junior elementary
education/special education major, has ben
successfully balancing a family and chil-
dren, a part-time job, social activities, tutor-
ing positions on campus, plus her course
work. During the past year, she has tutored
in the Learning Support Center where she
helps students discover their learning style.
Ebbert also works in the computer lab,
teaching students how to use computer pro-
grams. In addition, Ebbert volunteers at the

Write-in, assisting other students with
papers.

Not only is she deeply involved in these
school-related activities, Ebbert also finds
time for her community. She is an active
participant in her church as a teacher, a
choir member, and secretary-treasurer of
the woman's Auxiliary, operating the sound
system.

One morning a week, Ebbert tutors stu-
dents in reading, math, phonics, and
spelling at Calvary Temple Christian
School. In addition, she serves as a care
giver to her semi-invalid in-laws.

In 1990, Ebbert took a reading tutor's
course. Six years later, she was asked by
her church, which had opened a private
Christian elementary school, to help a first
grader learn to read. At the time, Ebbert
had doubted her ability to do it. She recalls,
however, "...In spite of my fear, I decided to
try. I discovered I liked teaching and was
good at it."

The first grader taught by Ebbert ended
her year reading at the second grade, fourth
month level. In the summer of 1997, she
decided to go back to school and earn a col-
lege degree in education. It seemed natural
for her to obtain a degree in both elemen-
tary education as well as special education
since two of her three sons were in special
education.

After pointing out that she was not a very
good student in high school, Ebbert said,
"Fear of failure was a major problem when

1 first returned. ..However, I was determined
to try. I struggled, but I also took advantage
of the services available at Venango
Campus."

Ebbert 's mental drive and determination
has paid off as she has been accepted to the

Doug Haskins/The Sequel le

Dean's List each semester. "I love learning
and my negative feelings are no longer a
problem because I know that with effort,
desire, and perseverance, I can accomplish
almost anything I set my mind to."

The teaching experience she is gaining
from her jobs gives Ebbert confidence that
she made the right recision in selecting a
major.

In addition, to the PAACE Award, Ebbert
has been honored with many other awards.
She received the 1999 Outstanding Student

in Education Award, the CRLA
International Tutoring Certificate, and the
Zonta Club Scholarship. She is chapter
president of the Council for Exceptional
Children, a member of the Phi Eta Sigma
National Honor Society, a member of the
committee who created the 1999 Pathfinder
Yearbook, and a participant in the Adult
Learner's Organization.

Ebbert described her life now as, "...a
journey of discovery and self-fulfill-
ment...." However, she has had to over-
come many struggles and adversities as the
result of some poor decisions. She coped
with single parenthood for ten years until
she remarried, and "...Even though life was
not easy for my children, they have all
graduated from high school." Her youngest
child is currently a student at Clarion uni-
versity.

Ebbert is happy with her life, as it is rather
full, but also very exciting. She wants to
encourage other students with difficulties
by helping them build the skills necessary
for a successful college experience. She
has already decided to further her own edu-
cation by earning her mater's degree in
reading. Ebbert added, "It is my beleif that
if a person can read, they can do anything
and that education opens the doors to self-
fulfillment."

Eileen Ebbert serves as another example
of Clarion University's advancing academ-
ic excellence and strong professionalism.

As a result of the voter regis-
tration drive that took place in
Clarion University's Gemmell
Student Complex, approxi-
mately 200 people are now
registered to vote.

The registration days were
held on Wednesday, February
23 and Thursday, February 24,
from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

Results indicated that it was
one of the most successful
university wide voter registra-
tion drives on the Clarion
University campus.

The drive was prompted by
Congress passing a higher edu-
cation act which requires all
colleges receiving financial aid
to offer students forms in
which to register with.

If Clarion had not participat-
ed in this drive, the university
would have lost their eligibili-
ty to recieve financial aid by
the federal government.

Besides advertisements being
sent out students were sent a
mass e-mail that encouraged
students to register to vote.

If you didn't register and
want to be eligble to vote in
the upcoming elections exclud-

ing the primaries, there are
several ways to do it.

Students and community
members can register by
Wednesday, May 10, at various
locations around Clarion, such
as post offices, courthouses,
and by renewing drivers

licenses.

The .free voter registration
days that took place were
sponsored by the Political
Science Association and Nair
Hall.

"The number one reason
given when asked why people
don't vote, is that it is too dif-
ficult," said Graham, "We tried
to make it as easy as possible."
Postage for registration bal-
lots were paid by Nate
Graham, senior, politcal sci-
ence/pre-law, and Josh Selleck,
senior, political science, both
of whom are Resident
Assistants in Nair hall.
Graham believes that the low-
est statistical turnout of voters
are the people of Generation X.
"This is one of the closest
presidential elections, and it is
a great time to let America hear
our voices," Graham said.

The Political Science
Association on Monday, April
3, will be sponsoring a presi-
dential debate in Carter
Auditorium in Still Hall.

Program for financial and academic disadvantaged students

by Traci Freedly
Clarion Call Staff Writer

A program has been developed to
acquaint students who are disadvan-
taged financially and academically
with college life.

This program is called the
Educational Opportunities

Program/ACTIOI. This program
requires applications from entering
freshman. If they meet two criteria,
they are advised to participate in the
program.

One of the criteria is being finan-
cially disadvantaged, based on fam-
ily size and income. The second cri-
teria is being academically disad-
vantaged with a combined SAT
score of 850 or lower, (or a low
GPA from your senior high school
year.)

The EOP/ACT 101 is being held
this summer from June 14- July 21 .

Meals are available free of charge
for students selected to participate in
the Pre-College Experience
Summer Program and there is no
discrimination in the course of food
service.

Eligibility guidelines for free and
reduced priced meals are based on

annual income and family size (see
table.)

Educational Opportunities
Program/ ACT 101 helps the student
decide what is their strong point of
studying in a certain subject, like
hands on, or listening skills. They
try to take that skill and apply it to
other subjects.

They learn these skills through
math and communications courses
that the student takes while partici-
pating in the summer program.
These classes are held during the
day and then after dinner they have
personal lessons with tutors, coun-
selors and peer tutors.

They also take part in short activ-
ities like volleyball or other kinds of
sports that involve a time for bond-
ing.

There is an orientation session on
April 15 for both students and par-
ents to partake in. During this ori-
entation, there will be an overview
of the services provided by this pro-
gram and a tour of the campus.

They will also be taken to observe
some students partaking in regular
campus activities. After this 5-week
session, the students are expected to
be accepted into Clarion University

for the fall semester, they will also
receive 6 credits for completing the
math and communication course.

During the fall semester, and con-
secutive years that the student is
enrolled at Clarion, the student will
be supervised. The first two years
that the student is enrolled, the advi-
sors and tutors that worked with
them over the summer, will contact
them on a weekly basis. Then for
the following two years, or however
long they are enrolled at the
University, the student is required to
see the advisors and tutors two times
a semester.

"Every student has needs. These
students' needs are no different from
those of any other students. The stu-
dents just internalize that they are
different. This makes the student
think that they are different, but
actually are not," said Dr. Stevan
Arthur McCrory, Educational
Opportunities Program /ACT 101.

If there are any further questions
or if additional information is need-
ed contact Dr. Stevan Arthur
McCrory at Clarion University of
Pennsylvania, B-10 Campbell Hall,

Clarion University blood drive hopes to save many lives

by A.A. Thompson

Clarion Call

Assistant News Editor

How would you like to become
someone's hero? If you donate
blood, that could be the case.

Accident victims, those recover-
ing from surgery, and cancer
patients need blood daily.

Because of this demand, the
Bloodmobile is holding a blood

drive from 10:00 am- 4:00pm on
April 4, 2000 in the Gemmell
Multi-purpose Room.

The Bloodmobile is hoping to
reach a goal of 150 units of blood.
One unit can help 3-4 people.

All types are needed but it is
especially important to receive
donations from type O, the uni-
versal donor.
Persons with the universal blood

type can donate to all other blood
types but can only receive type O.
In the case of an emergency trans-
fusion, type O may be used
instead of taking time to find out
the patients blood type.

After blood is donated, it is
delivered to the Johnstown
regional center. At the regional
center blood is screened for infec-
tious diseases like hepatitis B,

HIV (AIDS), Hepatitis C, HTLV-
I, syphilis, and non-A and non-B
hepatitis.

The blood is also separated at
the regional center because blood
is seldom used as a whole, but is
divided into three parts.

The first part is the red blood
cells which are given to accident
victims and people with anemia.

The second part of the blood is

the platelets, which are reserved
for cancer patients who are unable
to make their own.

The third part of the blood is the
plasma which is given to people
who are experiencing shock or
blood clotting.

Giving blood only takes about
15 minutes and refreshments are
always provided to replenish
donors afterward.

Tonic will quench Clarion's thirst for music with concert

story courtesy of
University Relations

Tonic will hold a concert in
Clarion University's Tippin
Gymnasium Wednesday, March
29 at 8 pm. The doors will open at
7 pm and cost for admission is $12
for non-students, $8 for Clarion
University students with a valid
identification. The concert is
sponsored by the University
Activities Board.

Tonic, from Los Angeles, CA,
includes members Emerson Hart,
Jeff Russo, and Dan Lavery. Hart
and Russo formed Tonic in 1994,
but it wasn't until bassist Lavery
joined the band's tour in 1996 that
the true creative vision of Tonic
took shape.

Lemon Parade, their 1997
album, went platinum. Following
its release Tonic toured for two
and a half years straight. In 1998,

they gave their fans a chance to
take the live experience home with
them by releasing Live And
Enhanced, an EP which is avail-
able for purchase only over the
internet.

In following up on Lemon
Parade, the band wanted more
than anything to keep their new
material simple. "We tried really
hard not to overreach on the new
stuff," says Hart. "We realize that
we're a guitar band, plain and sim-
ple. That's how we started and we
wanted to stay true to that."

Sugar, the Los Angeles based
trio's second album in three years,
finds the band exploring a spec-
trum of colorful guitar rock, ulti-
mately staying faithful to the
band's melodies and classic roots.
Mixed by Andy Wallace and pro-
duced by Tonic themselves, Sugar
presents that same Tonic sound
that impressed audiences and
record buyers everywhere on
Lemon Parade.

While the sound is still all Tonic,
Sugar is more varied musically.
"This record is definitely more
eclectic than our last record," says

Hart. "It has a certain openness
the last record never had. We
made sure that every song on this
new record is real. That's why I
think people respond to our music.
It touches an honest chord."

Tonic also experimented with
responsibilities, assuming the pro-
ducer role for the first time. It was
a task that challenged them
beyond their expectations, yet one
they wanted in order to have full
command of their musical fate.
Sugar was a team effort for the

three musicians. The title song
was the first song the band worked
on together. Russo and Lavery
brought in some music and handed
it over to Hart who added his own
parts and lyrics.

"That song was the true start of
our collaborations for this album
and that's why we named our
record Sugar" says Hart. "It's
also a tip of the hat to the South
because they were so supportive,
so it has a nice double meaning for

us."

Distinguished writer to visit Clarion

story courtesy of
University Relations

Poet Bernard Cooper will give a
reading on March 25 at 7 pm in
Hart Chapel at Clarion University.
The reading, part of Clarion's
Visiting Writers Series, is free and
open to the public.

Cooper's prose, resonant and
exquisitely crafted, is a hybrid of
memoir and fiction of his open-
hearted, humorous readings, and
lectures. Growing up gay and
middle class in the Los Angeles of
the 1950's and 60's, sexuality,
familial relationships, loss and
AIDS are among his topics.

Through them all, he expresses
his deepest concern: how the
writer explores identity by travel-
ing the terrain of memory.
Masterfully recalling details with
delicacy and uncontrived finesse,
Cooper reveals a wisdom in his
looking back that ultimately trans-
forms the way we examine our

own lives.

A winner of the PEN/Ernest
Hemingway Award in 1991 and
the O. Henry Prize in 1995,
Cooper teaches at Antioch/Los
Angeles and at the UCLA Writer's
Program. He has published two
collections of memoirs, "Maps To

Photo by Bonnie Schiffman

Anywhere" and "Truth Serum,"
and a novel, "A Year Of Rhymes."
His work is published in
Harper's, The Paris Review, The
New York Times Magazine, and in

anthologies such as The Best
American Essays (1988, 1995,
and 1997), and The Oxford Book
of Literature On Aging. He is cur-
rently working on a new collec-
tion of short stories, "Guess
Again," to be published by Simon
and Schuster.

Cooper says that several writers
influenced his life and his work,
"My early influences were mostly
poets. Elizabeth Bishop, Anthony
Hecth's narrative poems, and
Edward Field, who I found very
accessible and who confirmed for
me that writing could be humor-
ous and accessible, that literature
can actually be funny - simple and
still complex."

Cooper earned his B.A. and
M.F.A. degrees from the
California Institute of the Arts in
Valencia, with a major in concep-
tual art. No sooner did Cooper
receive his masters of fine arts
degree than he decided he wanted
to be a writer rather than an artist.

New Mission To Mars fails miserably

byMike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

You know what makes me
mad? Really mad? Flat-out
furious, in fact? When I see a
trailer for a movie that looks
like it's packed with cool
action scenes and special
effects, then I actually watch
the movie and it turns out that
the only interesting scenes
were the ones they showed in
the trailer. Such is the case
with Brian De Palma's sci-fi
flick, Mission To Mars. If
you've already caught the
preview but haven't seen the
movie, don't expect much
more than what you've
already been shown.

Mission To Mars follows
two separate NASA expedi-
tions to Mars, the first of
which is led by Mission
Commander Luke Graham,
played by the always great

Don Cheadle, who really mine whether Mars is fit for

deserves to get his big break human population,
some time soon. Graham and When Commander

his crew have been sent on an Graham's crew is wiped out

exploratory mission to deter- by a gigantic cyclone, leaving

move to hard liquor, and eventually
puke it up, stumbling into Hangover

specially made for the pub on a

only him behind to transmit
an urgent distress message
back to Earth, his close
friends Jim McConnell (Gary
Sinese), Phil Ohlmeyer (Jerry
O' Connel from TV's Sliders),
and Commander Woody Blake
(Tim Robbins) rush to his res-
cue. Then again, maybe
"rush" is too strong a word.
See, the trip to Mars takes a
minimum of six months to
complete. Let's just say it's a
good thing that Mission To
Mars wasn't filmed in real
time.

Upon arriving at Mars.
McConnell (whom I swear is
wearing over 27 pounds of
eye makeup) and crew must
face incredible danger, insur-
mountable odds, yada yada
yada.

I'm through with my sugar-
coating in this review. Here's
the plain, old truth: Mission

whisde at the end.

Unfortunately, those two songs mark
the end of the truly innovative music.
That's not to say the rest of the album is
bad, but they just got lazy. I can see
Noel in the studio, saying "Alright,
enough of this writing crap, let's go lis-
ten to Sgt. Pepper's."

"Who Feels Love?" is a fine, if unre-
markable mid-tempo song that gets a
little too hippie in its vibe. However,
'Put Your Money Where Your Mouth
Is" is a welcome shot of adrenaline
straight to the ear. Liam's voice is in full
sneer, the gospel singers are back,
there's a sputtering organ, and we have
officially reached drunkenness!

And what better to listen to with your
mates when inebriated than a slow-
building power ballad? Liam's first
stab at writing, "Little James," is just
that Basically, it's nothing more than a
"Hey Jude" rip-off, only with Liam's
pipes and attitude it's not "Na na na naa
na naaa," it's more of a teasing "nya nya
nya nya, I'm better than God" feeling.

Most of the rest of the album is enjoy-

To Mars just isn't very much
fun. Period. The only inter-
esting thing that happens in
the entire movie is when
Commander Graham's crew is
being torn to shreds by the
gigantic cyclone. Other than
that, you might as well bring
a book or a pillow because
Mission To Mars is about as
exciting a watching a baboon
make love to a fire hydrant.
(Unless you're into (hat sort
of thing, of course . )

So, in short, don'l bother
with M2M. From what I've
been told, Hollywood will be
releasing another movie
about Mars some time this
summer. Oh joy, oh rapture!
Maybe some day my dream
will come true and Hollywood
will release two Carrot Top
movies at the same time!
Then again, maybe not.

Review: 2 stars.

able, with the moody "Gas Panic" and
the two Noel-sung songs, "Where Did
It All Go Wrong" and "Sunday
Morning Call." Of the two, "Sunday
Morning..." is the superior, with its
soothing acoustic guitar, weird synthe-
sized vocals, and reassuring lyrics. At
times Noel can be an even better vocal-
ist than his brother. His voice is defi-
nitely more haunting, and perfectly suits
the forlom-fiUed songs he seems to
pick.

But, as I said, every night out has a
hangover. "I Can See A Liar" sounds
like a cheesy Scorpions song, and the
droopy and whining closer, "Roll It
Over" could' ve been a decent song, if
Oasis played it like they gave a s**t If
you find it, pick up the version of
Statiding On The Slwidder... that con-
tains the extra disc, which houses the
mesmerizing b-side, 'Let's All Make
Believe." For the life of me, I can't
understand why they left it off the actu-
al album, but Oasis has always had
wonderful b-sides (listen to The
Masterpktn if you don't believe me).
"...Make Believe" is top-notch neo-psy-
chedelia, and functions much better as
an album closer.

Standing On The Slioulder Of Giants
is a wonderful comeback record, but
they'll need to be more consistently bet-
ter. There are a couple of classic songs
on here, but with only 10 songs on the
entire album, that can be a fatal flaw.
I'm still waiting for that next
"Wonderwall" to be built. In the mean-
time, Oasis gets a 3 out of 5.

Women and men disagree about humor

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer

Today's topic was suggested by a
reader named Richard from El Paso,
Texas, who wrote a letter asking:
"How do you obtain a sense of
humor? I am seriously inclined, and
I understand that women really love
a man with a sense of humor. My
main concern is how to apply it in
everyday conversation to impress
women."

The first thing you need to under-
stand, Richard, is that men and
women do not have the same defini-
tion of the term "a man with a sense
of humor." To men, it means "a man
who thinks a lot of stuff is funny."
Whereas to women, it means "a man
who talks and looks kind of like

Hugh Grant."

This leads to disagreements
between the
genders about
what is funny.
For example, I
belong to an
organization
called the Lawn
Rangers of
Areola, III.
whose mem-
bers are dedi-
cated to helping
humanity by
marching with
lawnmowers in
parades. The
Lawn Rangers
are an all-male
organization, but sometimes women

voluntarily choose to attend out
annual meeting, which is held in one

Aracola's

t i g i o u s
drive-
ways.

nic tic

meeting

let's just say that if you were consid-
ering a career in proctology, this
would definitely change your mind.
The women are revolted by this rou-
tine, whereas the men laugh so hard
that some of them fall down. (They
are not hurt, because they land on
men who fell down earlier in the
meeting.)

Another example: Recently my
wife and I, along with maybe 15
other expectant couples, attended a
hospital class on breastfeeding. (In
modern America, having a baby
requires more classroom instruction
than becoming a dentist.) At one
point, to illustrate an important issue,
the breastfeeding instructor walked
around the room holding up a cloth
model of a breast - kind of like a
Muppet - with a little string on the
back that the instructor pulled to
make the breast change shape. The
women looked on with mature, intel-
ligent, concerned expressions. But I
made eye contact with a number of
men as the Breast Muppet went
around, and I can state with certainty
that if not for the fact that we knew
this was a Serious Matter Involving
The Health Of The Baby, plus the
fact that our wives would hit us, we
would have laughed ourselves into a
state of dehydration.

My point, Richard, is that women
and men have different senses of
humor. This was confirmed last year
in a study done by two psychologists
from Canada (HUMOR TIP:
Canada is funny). This study, which
I swear I am not making up, showed
that simple, slapstick humor, such as
the Three Stooges, appeals to the fol-
lowing two groups of people: 1.
People with brain damage. 2. Men.
(At this point, the women readers are
thinking, 'That's only one group!")
And what kind of humor do
women like? According to a news
article about the Canadian study,
women, because of their more-
sophisticated brains, prefer humor

that involves "longer narratives, per-
sonal information, and memories."
The article does not come right out
and use the term "Hugh Grant" but it
doesn't have to.

OK, Richard, so what does all this
mean for you, out there in El Paso,
trying to "apply humor in everyday
conversation to impress women"?
Here is the procedure I suggest:

First, get hold of a joke. The good
news is, there are plenty of them on
the Internet. The bad news is, all of
them were invented by men, who
control 99 percent of the world's
joke supply. So you will have to
modify the joke to make it impres-
sive to women.

Let's say you have chosen the clas-
sic joke about the three guys who are
captured by a primitive tribe, which
offers them a choice between Death
and Roo-R(X).

(At this point, the women readers
are thinking: "Huh?" Whereas the
men are thinking: "The RcxvRoo
joke! Good one!")

So, Richard, when you're talking
with a women you wish to impress,
look for an opening that will allow
you to bring up the joke ("Your aunt
died? I'm so sorry! Speaking of
death, these three guys are cap-
tured...") But here's the key: Don't
rush through the joke. You have to
turn it into a longer narrative con-
taining personal information and
memories.

WRONG: So the first guy says,
"I'll take Roo-Roo!"

RIGHT: "As a young boy, I'd hear
my parents fighting, and I'd cry into
my pillow for hours."

Got it, Richard? It will also help if
you get extensive plastic surgery to
look like Hugh Grant. If you use this
technique, you'll find that any
woman you talk to will soon be gaz-
ing at you longingly, and reaching
out for your hand. That's when you
give her the "joy buzzer." Nyuk

Hard Calls: the Dilemma of Title IX hits at Clarion

by John C. Crawford
Clarion Call Staff Writer

In the landscape of college athletics, no
issue carries more weight than Title IX.
Many who weigh in on Title IX do not
fully understand the issues at hand.
Though almost anybody would agree that
something must be done to reform the law,
few people are in agreement about what
should be done. Especially at an institu-
tion like Clarion University, which has
strong sports tradition — and is located in a
region with the same tradition — Title IX
is an issue which cuts to the core of our
culture. One side argues there is a prob-
lem of discrimination in sports, whic must
be addressed despite collateral impact.
Another side argues that opportunity is a
door which swings both ways: Title IX
denies male athletes opportunities. Few
people comprehend the how and why of
Title IX implementation. Fewer still
understand why it has been maintained,
and must be allowed to continue.

"Title IX" refers to Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972 to the
1964 Civil Rights Act. Title IX does not
specifically address college athletics. It
actually states:

No person in the United States shall, on
basis of sex, be excluded from participa-
tion in, be denied the benefits of, or be
subjected to discrimination under any
education program or activity receiving
Federal financial assistance.
With the exception of two schools, this
means every major university is subject to
Title IX. It also applies to public school
districts. At the time, 1972, there was a
large disparity between the funding and
facilities allocated for men's and women's
athletic programs. Steps were taken to
address these disparities through Title IX.

But, it did not explicitly address college
athletics.

In 1983 the Supreme Court struck down
the application of Title IX to athletic pro-
grams. The case was Grove City vs Bell.
In the wake of similar rulings, Congress
implemented the Civil Rights Restoration
Act of 1988. One of the major clarifica-
tion was to apply Title IX to athletics.

It was not until 1992, when the Supreme
Court ruled in Franklin vs Gwinnett that
complaintants could file suit for monetary
damages, schools made efforts to get the
statistics in compliance with Title IX.
Under threat of financial losses, universi-
ty athletic programs began to take steps
toward gender equity.

Contrary to popular misconception, Title
IX does not establish mathematical goals
for institutions to achieve. That miscon-
ception arises from the Big Ten
Conference's 60-40 proposal, which
called for 60% of participation and bud-
geting to go to male athletes, and for 40%
to go to female athletes. Title IX provides
for complaint on the vague grounds of
"denial of opportunity". This leaves insti-
tutions with room in which to play with
Title IX.

Today, complaints about Title IX gener-
ally refer to unequal distribution of time
and resources. Especially in the 1970's,
the problem was that women's programs
were given less priority, and left shabby.
By the 1990's these problems had been
handled. The new issue became actual
allocation of participants 's num-
bers and budgets. While =
women's programs would be of
equal quality, there would be
fewer programs, with less schol-
arship and equipment money
Most complaints today are filed
by men whose programs have
been axed.

Title IX is interepted against
the back drop of each campus.
An all-male college is not
required to maintain facilities for
female athletes. But, at a co-
educational institution, the math
of. athletics programs should
reflect the campus life. It is
understood that women do not
play sports as much as men do.
If an institution sees that 45% of

its athletes are women, then it should give
around 45% of its budget to women's pro-
grams. The NCAA recommends a varia-
tion of less than 5% as acceptable. The
goal is to be within these limits.

There is also a sport by sport evaluation.
So, if the men's football team has a well-
tailored field, then the women's soccer
team is expected to have access to similar
facilities. Expectations of equality are
generalized, because there are variations
in the types of sports men and women will

Play-
Adding a men's program means adding
an equal percentage of female participants
in another program. A fair number of
female athletes must also be added to keep
the percentages in balance. For example,
Clarion carries eight programs each for
women and for men, while having around
75% as many female athletes. This is an
adequate balance in the face of lesser par-
ticipation by female athletes. Bob
Carlson, Clarion's athletic director, noted,
"We would not even consider adding
another men's program."

Almost no one disputes the facts of Title
IX and its implementation. The major dis-
pute centers around why it should be
maintained, abolished, or reformed.
There is a strong feeling that something
should be done. Carlson said, "It bothers
me at times to think of the opportunities
for men that have been eliminated due to
Title IX. I know that is not the original
intent of Title IX."

Abolition, however, is not an option.
Schools are tempted to take the money
from male athletics. The temptation is not
only there, but it is acted upon. Until
1992, almost every major school was giv-
ing women's programs about half their
share. Since then, compliance numbers
have increased. Clarion University grant-
ed 22% of its athletics budget given to
women's programs nine years ago. 43%
will be allocated in fall 2000, thanks to the
addition of soccer.

The flip side is there exists a depravation
of opportunity for male athletes.
Something does need to be done. The
problem is: what? An overly complex
system begs to trap universities in law-
suits.

Maintenance may be the best option. As
Title IX forces high schools to open up
athletics, so too will this effect be felt in
colleges. As more female high school
ahtletes move into the college ranks, the
problems of Title IX will diminish. The
growth of women's athletics into a
money-maker, like the women's Final
Four, will even out the problem.

In the end, Title IX is the least of all
evils. It is too easy to say something must
be done. Corruption in college sports is a
known fact. To believe the system would
not regress into its former self without
Title IX is absurd. Until something which
can be implemented is proposed the cry of
"something must be done" must be
ignored.

Clarion women's diving team is among the nation's elite

by Jerry Collier
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion University
women's diving team has plenty
of competition, and some of its
best competition comes from the
divers own teammates.

Clarion's Stephanie Sutton
won both the 1 -meter and 3-
meters diving events at the
NCAA Division II Swimming &
Diving National Championships,
which was held March 8-11 in
Buffalo, N.Y. Also, Clarionfs
Amanda Earnest placed second
in the 3-meters event and fourth
in the 1 -meter dive; and Chrissy
Young was seventh in the 1-
meter dive, but did not finish
among the top eight in the nation
in the 3-meters event.

And all three of Clarion's
female divers are underclassmen.

"Any time you have several
good kids competing on one
team, it should help them
improve because they're practic-
ing together every day." Clarion
diving coach Dave Hrovat said.
"(This group) pulls for each
other, and that's a great thing. I
work very hard trying to get my
divers into that frame of mind."
"I see my teammates dive
every day, and it pushes me,"
Earnest said. I feed off them."

The Clarion women's swim-
ming and diving team took
fourth place for the second
straight year.

Sutton is a junior from Fairfax,
Va., who took second place in
both the I -meter and 3-meters
events at nationals her first two
seasons.

Young is a junior from Lansdalc
who was All-America in both
events the last two years. (Her
best finish was fourth place in
the 3-meters event.)

Earnest is a 23-year-old sopho-
more from Yardley. She is in her
first year of competition at
Clarion. Earnest competed at
Florida Atlantic University after
high school and then took off a
few years before returning to
competition at Clarion.

"They train together all year
long,"Hrovat said. "They know
we have three of the top female
divers (in the nation) here, so
they shouldn't be worried about
not having competition. They
compete against the best every
day in practice. So that's to their
advantage. It's just a matter of
being consistent.T

But competition between team-
mates can adversely affect com-
petitors as well.

"I've never had that problem
with the guys,"Hrovat said, "but
it's a little different with the
women. It's difficult to get them
to pull together. But we seem to
have done a good job of it this
year."

"We're all friends," Young
said. "(And having good compe-
tition) helps practice. There's no

negative competitive thing going
on between us."

"We're backing up each other
all of the time,"Sutton said. "We
can't afford to be down and frus-
trated. We need to work through
it, push ourselves mentally and
physically, and work together..

All three of the divers were
recruited by Hrovat and are
receiving partial athletic scholar-
ships.

"The kids who come here want
to dive," Hrovat said. "We have
scholarships, but we don't have
full scholarships for diving or
anything like that. They're just
here on a little bit of money.
They're here because they enjoy
the sport, and they want to do it."
"Each one of us wants to win,"
Earnest said. "That's what you
do when you are competing. But
if my teammate wins and I come
in second, who cares? We've still
come in one, two. We just really
want to wipe out everybody
else."

Sutton, a communication
major, wants to work with the
media after graduation. Sutton
was a Virginia state champion in
the one-meter event her senior
year of high school.

Young is majoring in early
childhood and elementary educa-
tion. She would like to be a
teacher and a diving coach.

Earnest is a liberal arts major
with a minor in coaching. She

wants to be a Division I diving
coach. Earnest, who attended
high school in Florida, qualified
for senior nationals in 1998 and
was ranked 32nd in the U.S.

Hrovat, who's in his 10th sea-
son v at Clarion, has coached 11
national champion divers during
that time.

"Consistency is what wins the
meet," Hrovat said. "If they do
what they're supposed to do
every day in practice and be con-
sistent, we're going to reach our
goals. Thereis no doubt about it.
Another big thing for them is to
relax."

This season each one of his
three female divers won at least
one competition.

"They're all really close (in
their level of performance),
Hrovat said. "That's really a fun
thing, because anything can hap-
pen.

"All three of them are very
hard workers, very determined
and very dedicated. All of those
words definitely describe the
three of them. They are great ath-
letes who have worked very hard
to get where they are."

"I love this team, our coach,
and I want to be here," Earnest
said. "The most important thing
is that we do our best as a whole.
That's what we are here for.
Individually, we're great divers.
But as a team, we're incredible."

CLARIONS HOTTEST SPOT

by Josiah Jones
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion softball team trav-
eled to Florida for winter break
and came away with a 3-5 over-
all mark.

"Our goal was to beat Florida
Tech in one of the two games we
had with them,"said head coach
Tina Gustley.

Clarion opened up the road trip
facing Florida Tech in a double-
header. To the disappointment
of the CU softball team they
came away with two losses. But
that didn't discourage Clarion
for the rest of the trip. They had
to bounce back quick because
they had to take on a very talent-
ed Italian team called AB
Caronne. Both squds played
well splitting the four games that
were played.

The last team Clarion faced
was Rollins College. Rollins

College and Clarion would go on
to split a double header. Even
though the team went 3-5 Head
coach Gustley was happy with a
few apects of her young teams
trip to Florida.

"The freshman talent is very
good and vastly improving,"
Gustley said. "Kim Overlot did
a very good job on the mound.
Also Missy Gring struggled a lit-
tle but since has corrected the
problem."

Gustley also gave some apects
that the team needs to emphasize
on doing. "The run production
could be better and we can't
strand so many runners. I think
we stranded upwards of 35 run-
ners. But that aside the team
will still continue to gell," said
Gustley.

The Clarion softball team will
make their home debut hosting
Lock Haven in April.

NCAA's! Angle, Testa, and Spoor bring home a 26th placing at nationals in St. Louis,
Missouri

Spoor lost a major decision 8-0 to
Justin Giovinco.

Testa in his first NCAA champi-
onships came away with a positive
expierence. Testa lost in the first
round to the #4 seed in the heavy-
weight bracket, John Lockhart of
Illinois.

But to get to the first round Testa
won a 10-5 decision over John
Devine of Bakersfield. Testa got

another win in the wrestle back
winning a 12-4 major decision
over Kevin Baltz. Testa's NCAA
Division I championships came to
a close when he lost a 13-9 deci-
sion to Matt Kenney of North
Carolina.

"I thought our guys wrestled very
well at the NCAA's,"commented
coach Nell is. "I'm very proud of
Mark (Angle) and his fourth place

finish at 141 pounds. There were
eight returning All- Americans at
his weight and his knee could have
gone at any time, but he wrestled
great tactical matches and nearly
made it to the finals. His finish
shows his toughness, athletic abili-
ty, competitiveness and desire in
the face of adversity. I also
thought John Testa wrestled well,"
said Coach Nellis.

Coach Bill Miller at 58 years old
coached his final swim meet when
the CU men's team finished 12th
and the women finished 4th
nationally. Miller spent 36 years
in coaching which includes 22
years at Clarion. Coach Miller
leaves behind countless records
and a lasting influence on his
swimmers and the community.

Millers accomplishments range

PS AC Men's Coach of the year
six times. PSAC Women's
"Coach of the year" seven times.
This includes 13 PSAC titles for
the women and 16 titles for the

the College Swim Coaches
Association due to his promotion
of the sport of swimming national-

ly.

Miller is also known nationally
for the swimming camps held at
Clarion. He has also lectured and
done clinics in Peru, Egypt, and

Head athtlctic director Bob
Carlson commented earlier this
year of the departure of Miller
from CU athtletics.

"Bill has done an outstanding
job here at Clarion, not only in his
capacity as swimming coach but
as a leader and an example to the
student athletes he coached," said
Carlson. "Bill's dedication, sacri-
fice and hard work is an example
to all coaches."

Junior swimmer Meghan Tracy
remarked on Miller leaving as
well. "He is a good people per-
son. He knows how to connect
with his swimmers. He will be
missed he has done so much for
Clarion University," Tracy said.

Miller, in a classy style, at his
announcement he thanked every-
one who had helped reach the
mark he did in his 22 years of
coaching.

"I'd like to thank Frank Lignelli
for bringing me to Clarion and
giving me a chance to coach at the
college level. "I'd also like to
thank Bob Carlson and Dr.
Reinhard for their continuing sup-
port of the program. Most I'd like
to thank my wife Judy and my
sons for their support over the
years."

CU hockey hoping to capture
playoff birth in final two games

by Drew McWilliams
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion Hockey team now
holds a record of .500 with a 4-4
mark. This inlight of back to back
losses. The team continues to
strive for excellence as it matures
throughout the season. Players are
feeling comfortable with their
lines which is becoming evident in
their style of play with one anoth-
er on the ice.

"The team has really stepped up
their level of play over the last
several games and we should fin-
ish the regular season strong," said
team assistant captain Jeff

Hartman.

The team faltered slightly this
past week as it had two games
within three days, creating a minor
strain. The team is now looking at
a playoff birth as it has two games
remaining in the regular season.
The team needs to finish strong to
secure a spot in the post season.

"This team has a lot more talent
then any of the past teams, due to
the addition of many players. The
team bonds very well together,
and our first four games show we
have a lot of potential. Hopefully
we will make the playoffs for the
first time in Clarion history,"said
Senior captain Jeff Van Stone.

Sutton dives for two national titles

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

Stephanie Sutton accom-
plished her ultimate goal for
this year by winning the one
meter and three meter national
titles. Sutton compiled 412.35
points in the one meter and
474.45 points in the three meter
to win the titles. Sutton a junior
from Fairfax, Virginia won the
two national titles last week at
the Flickinger Aquatic Center in
Buffalo, New York. She now is
a 6-time All-American having
placed second in the one meter
and three meter as a freshman
and as a sophomore.

"I wasn't nervous. I just
relaxed and kept calm. I said to
myself don't change anything
it's like any other meet," Sutton
said of her performance.

Sutton had previously finished
second in both the one meter
and the three meter a year
before.

"This year my teammates and
coach had a tremendous influ-
ence on me. My coach is like a
good friend. He works with us
well. The most important thing
is that he knows us and what

were going through, "Sutton said
of coach Dave Hrovat.

Hrovat earned NCAA
Division II Women's "Diving
Coach of the Year". This is the
third time he has won this
honor. He also won in 1993 and
1995. Overall he is an 8-time
NCAA "Coach of the Year",
earning the men's honor five
times.

Sutton said her teammates
were a big help in winning the
titles.

"My teammates Amanda,
Chrissy, and Greg on the men's
side all really made it fun for
me. This helped me work hard-
er toward my goal."

She used her inward 2 1/2 dive
to lead with and never looked
back. Sutton won every event
she competed in this year but
one. In that event she finished
third. That includes edging out
teammate Amanda Earnest in
the Diving Invatational two
weeks before nationals.

"Each off season I just train
myself physically and mentally.
Mentally you have to focus on
your technique. Physically I lift
weights to stay in shape," said
Sutton.

The first draft of Clarion University history.

VOLUME 84, ISSUE 8

Trustees extend President Reinhard's contract

by Michelle D'Uva The

Clarion Call Staff Writer C larion

University of Pennsylvania Council of
Trustees met on Thursday, March 16th to
discuss various issues, which will have a
great impact on the school. Topics includ-
ed the extension of the president's con-
tract, an increase on room and board rates,
the distribution of Eberly Awards, the revi-
sion of for the 2000-2001 academic calen-
dar, the approval of the Northern Tier fees,
as well as the welcoming of two new
trustees.

The Council of Trustees unanimously
approved the recommendation for a one-
year contract extension for the Clarion
University President, Diane L. Reinhard.
According to H. John Drayer, the trustees
met with various university representa-
tives throughout the presidential review
process. When speaking of Reinhard, the
themes of openness, accessibility, and hard
work were often expressed. The recom-
mendation will be forwarded to the State
System of Higher Education Chancellor
and Board of Governors.

Chancellor James McCormick, and ex-
officio member of the trustees, noted that
Rein hard has also been selected for lead-
ership at the state and national levels.

President Reinhard had this to say, "I'm
delighted that the trustees will be recom-
mending to the chancellor that my contract
will be renewed. I feel that I have one of
the best jobs in the world. I look forward
to working with the faculty, students, and
staff in our effort to continue providing a
quality education and valuable service to
the Commonwealth."

Another important issue discussed at the
meeting was the approval of room and
board fee increases. The fees were based
on the cost of living increase and the con-
tinuation of residence hall renovation.
According to Dr. George Curtis, Vice
President of student Affairs, the food ser-
vice contract is adjusted each year based
on the consumer price index. This year,
the CPI-U was at 2.09 percent. Another

reason for the increase rates is because the two people for recognition.

The next topic covered at
the meeting was the recom-

was chosen for the Eberly
Award for Philanthropy,
and Charles P. Leach,

The Council of Trustees approved the
provost's recommendation for Northern
Tier Education Initiative (NTEI) fees.
They were approved $75 for in-state and
$95 for out-of-state students. These rates
are an average of the current fees charged
by the five participating universities:
Clarion, Edinboro, Lock Haven,

education through their philanthropies and Mansfield, and Slippery Rock. NTEI pro-

credit options to the Northern Tier region
of Pennsylvania. The schools offer a
Master of Education degree program with
courses delivered through an interactive
video from the participating institutions to
the Higher Education Councils in the
Northern Tier.

Trustees also approved the revisions on
the academic calendar for the 2000-20001
school year. Fall classes will begin
Monday, August 28th and end Friday,
December 15th. Second semester will
start Tuesday, January 16th and end Friday
May 11th. Spring vacation was changed
from Wednesday, April 11th at 10 p.m. to
Wednesday, April 18th at 8 p.m. In 2001-
2002, classes will begin Monday, August
27th and end Friday, December 14th.
Second semester will start Monday,
January 14th and end Friday, May 10th.

Finally, Drayer and Reinhard welcomed
two new trustees to the Council. Sheryle
L. Long of Renfrew, and Richard R.
Hilinski, of Erie, both attended their first
meeting on the 16th.

Long, who is, "Extremely proud to be
able to serve on the board..." is a partner in
the law firm of Schenck and Long in
Butler and is a registered nurse. She has
taught at both the community college and
college level. She said, "I was very
impressed with the student trustee. He
takes his position seriously. If he is an
example of the caliber of student, he will
keep the board on our toes to meet the
needs of students as the university contin-
ues to grow.

Hilinski, who found the meeting to be,
"Very interesting and smooth-running..."
is president of Erie City School District
Board of Directors and president of the
Northwest Tri-County Intermediate Unit
#5. He formerly served as director of
development, alumni affairs, and public
relations for Alliance College in
Cambridge Springs. He stated, "Clarion
has a lovely campus, and there is a lot of
work being done. When everything is
complete, I think it will be one of the most
outstanding schools of the system."

make far rising tenpers

How many of us are outraged at the rising gas
prices? We challenge you to find any person that
isn't.

With prices allegedly rising to almost
$2.00/gallon by summer, this will affect more
than just car drivers.

Have you ever thought about how many items
require gas? Or even how gas prices could affect
you indirectly?

With summer so close, we look forward to trav-
eling. Not many families will be going to go to
Florida from Pennsylvania with the current
prices. This changes annual and traditional
plans. Many water sports like boating and jet
skiing will be affected too. Even the simple task
of lawnmowing might be put off further and fur-
ther because of the price hike.

How about all of those long distance deliver-
ies? Those will start to take longer and also cost
more. Forget about affording a tip.

Public transportation will also be affected.
More and more people will rely on it and their
prices might skyrocket as well.

In early April there will be a nationwide "gas
out" in hopes to lower the current prices. If
everyone participates by not purchasing gas on
these designated days, the people that set these
prices will hopefully get the picture.

We would have written more on this but unfor-
tunately.. .we ran out of gas.

Your Views

State System students strike back

Dear Editor,

I will start out by saying that even though I proba-
bly cannot write simple sentences, just like
Republican Lita Cohen mentions, I hope that this edi-
torial strikes a chord in the hearts of all Pennsylvania
college students. I will say that people like Cohen, a
Republican representative from Montgomery
County, is not only a good reason but probably the
best reason for students to vote.

After reading how she said in last week's edition of
the CALL that graduates from State System of
Higher Education schools were "unprepared and not
employable in the work force," while also being "not
fit for any type of job," this gives students all over PA
the much needed kick in the ass to get out there and
vote, even if it is just to vote her out of office.

Unfortunately, I am not privileged enough to attend
an overpriced, private college, like Representative
Cohen did. I am not given the luxury of having my
great life handed to me thanks to my family's wealth.
What I am given though is a chance to make some-
thing out of my life, even if it is from a SSHE school.
Like most of us here, I have been working since I
was 14 years old. Nothing was ever handed to me

except for the clothes on my back and the roof over
my head. I bust my butt every summer to, hopefully,
make enough money to pay for tuition, (with some
help from my parents), to afford my car and insur-
ance that comes with it, and to pay for rent and the
bills that come along with that. Yes Lita, that means
that during my semesters here I also have to work to
make money so I can buy food and go on the occa-
sional date. Now I ask you Lita, was it like this for
you while in college, or was your allowance just
upped by your parents?

I have been attending Clarion now for almost two
years, unfortunately it does not look like I will be
able to graduate from here in another two. But, that
is not to the fault of the administration, faculty or
even the state. It is because I am also involved in
many other activities, Student Senate, University
Activities Board, the campus FM radio station, and a
fraternity to name a few. So, if being a well-rounded
individual, who has an on-campus job, takes classes,
and is involved in the university, means that I will not
graduate in exactly four years, then I better move
back to Ohio.

"Mike age of 16, wlten I

became blind I had to drop

Old of school to learn how to

go to school"

Jason Andrew Rhoades

A Simple Proposal

America has been called the
land of opportunity. Along with
millions of my generation I
believe that, for those willing to
put forth the effort, prosperity is
inevitable.

Thanks to the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990,
blind people like me are promised
inclusion in the hiring pool if we
can meet "legitimate skill, experi-
ence, education, or other require-
ments of an employment posi-
tion..." Like the second in a pair
of bookends, the ADA completes
the initiative begun by the
Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA) of 1975,
which recognizes that "education
and employment go hand in
hand". Acting on that promise,
nearly two-thirds of vision-
impaired people enroll in postsec-
ondary education; it is a group
including about 300,000 individu-
als who, like me, are blind in both
eyes. Currently in my senior year
of college, I have been occupying
the space between the bookends
for ten years.

At the age of 16, when I became
blind, I had to drop out of school
to learn how to go to school. I
was introduced to the complex
technologies that would help me
adapt to an educational setting
with my disability. 1 learned that

a talking book could occupy 17
cassettes, that the Braille labels
could be worn down, making it
difficult for me to know what
order the cassettes should be in,
that tapes may not have been
rewound before I got them, and
that cueing the tape to a specific
sentence or paragraph would be
impossible. My most essential
adaptive skill was designing my
life around the time requirement
of study.

The average cost of a 4 year
degree at my university is around
$35,000 to equip and learn to use
a personal high-tech lab. My
computer, note-taker, scanner,
voice-synthesizer, and three spe-
cialized software programs exist
for one purpose: to make text-
book information accessible. Set
up the equipment in my dedicated
home office space, add training,
bring in a human editor who can
read the book to fix errors made
by my scanner, and I am ready to
begin studying my textbook- just
like my sighted classmates. With
our 'can-do' attitude, Americans
have solved another problem. I
am assumed to be able to operate
as efficiently as anyone else.

To keep in step with my class-
mates, I work at my studies ten

Tyler Best, Business Manager

I'm sitting here trying to think
of something to write about for
the March 30, 2000 issue of the
paper when it actually began to
hit me: It's March 30th already!?!
I don't know whether it's just me,
but is time really flying or what?
They say time keeps going faster
the older you get. I feel bad for
my grandparents', they go to
Florida for the winter and it prob-
ably seems like as soon as the car
gets unpacked they're reading
that stupid blue sign that says
'Welcome to Pennsylvania.' I
can't imagine time flying much
faster than it already does. But
I'm sure it does.

I remember my freshman and
sophomore year and how quickly
they flew by. But it doesn't seem
to compare to this (my senior)
year. I'm not sure why things
seem like they go by so fast for
me. Maybe it's because I like to
keep pretty busy. But, when I
think about it, how busy am I
really . I know I've had busier
semesters while I was an R.A.,
and that kept me busy. I've
always had a part-time job or two
while going to college to keep me
with some spending money. This

semester I only have 12 credits,
no classes at all on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, and it's still going by
so fast I can hardly believe it.

Perhaps it's going so quickly
because I don't take enough time
out to enjoy it. I sometimes feel
like I am too much of a college
student and not enough of a 'col-
lege kid'. I've always been one
to try very hard and receive good
grades, but who doesn't want
that, right? Sometimes I feel like
I take on a lot of extra stuff that a
regular college kid wouldn't do.
For example, I'm an accounting
major, and this year I took on
more than a few people's income
tax returns to prepare (I'm not
complaining here, either). So
when other people are deciding
what movie to see or what bar to
go to, I'm wondering which line
on Schedule C that expense fits
into.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm
not unhappy with my life or my
college experience at all. It's
really been great, a lot of interest-
ing experiences have took place.
Sometimes, I just feel as if I am
older than 22, and I'm not even

Commentary

by Keith Gwillim
Lifestyles Ed.

You know, I've got a really busy
week ahead of me. I must think
up new insults for my prank
phone callers, fail tests, practice
for Greek Sing, and just be the
playa I am. Basically, I'm lazy, so
here's another Cool/Uncool list.

Cool: Jennifer Lopez. She can't
sing worth a cup of spit, and her
songs suck, but DAMN, I love
that Grammy dress. Uncool:
Enrique Iglesias. Is it me, or does
he get this look on his face when
singing like he's severely consti-
pated?

Cool: That 7-Up dude. "Show
us your can," "7-Up yours," the
classics just keep comin'. The
soda sucks, though. Uncool: The
Snapple Lady. I should 've put her
in the "Things That Aren't There
Anymore" column.

Cool: The 60's and 80's. It's the
"Every other decade Theory,"
man; from Dazed and Confused.
?heck ya later. Uncool: My gen-
ration. Sorry, but we're pathetic.
We have no cause, no rebellion, or
cross-dressing pop stars.

Cool: Keith Blair Gwillim. I
rock - I have fans and pranksters.
How could life get any better? Oh
yeah, a girlfriend. Uncool: The
Blair Witch Project. No connec-
tion here, just the "Blair" thing. It
was putrid, though.

Cool: Madonna. Over 20 years
in today's fickle pop world. You
have to admire that. Besides, she
has nice jumblies. Uncool: Cher.
Some people can pull off the "no
surname" thing, some can't.

Cool: "Antiques Roadshow."
The coolest thing on TV, aside
from "The Sopranos." I just like
watching people's hopes getting
dashed, I guess. Uncool: Sci-Fi
Channel. I boycott it now that
MST3K is gone. You should, too.
Damn Trekkies.

Cool: Kermit the Frog. I do a
perfect impersonation. My one
goal in life to become the guy
who does his voice. Uncool:
Furbies. They look like the love
child of Gizmo and Teddy
Ruxpin.

saying that's bad. I know that in a month or so, I and many others will
be graduating from college and beginning another phase of our lives.
For some, it will be an exciting time, for others, not so much. For some,
like my girlfriend, working out in the real world will be much more
relaxing and less time-consuming than what she is used to here at col-
lege.

I don't know for sure, but if I had to do it all over again, I don't know
if I would have focused so much on academics and extra activities. I
think it's more my personality and the type of person that I am that
makes me like this, so maybe I couldn't change it if I had to do all over.
But I think I would try to relax more and try to just take what comes
instead of sitting and expecting to reach so many goals. If you think
about it in a sense of time, will it really make a difference 20 years down
the road if you had a 2.8 or a 3.8? Probably not.

But, maybe all the work, perseverance, academics, and goal-setting
will pay off one day in the future. Is it better to live for the day, or to
have plans for the future: or a combination of both? After pondering
that question, I really think there is no answer. So just do whatever
makes you happy, and everything else will work out. And if it doesn't,
it probably wasn't supposed to.

hours almost every day, seven days a week, and
attend summer school every summer-it takes me that
long to reformat textbook content. I could cue
instantly to the information. I could "read" the text
as efficiently as a sighted student. Imagine if all 300
students in Professor Happenstance's Psych 101
course each had to set up a desktop publishing shop
before they could begin to read tonight's assignment
and, after that, spend 5 hours to read 50 pages for the
next class. If I am typical, it takes a blind person
three times as many hours to complete college, in
effect enough time to earn three college degrees.

The extra time it takes a blind student to process
textbook information is time taken from other oppor-
tunities of professional development. When I finish
my degree, can I hope to be "the most qualified
applicant available" for a vacancy in my field of
study? If time is money, I figure my delayed
entrance into the work-force will cost me about
$75,000. Multiplied by all 300,000 of us blind col-
lege students, that's a loss in productivity of $21 bil-
lion to the nation.

The lofty goals of IDEA and ADA, along with the
financial investment employers have made to pro-
vide access, have unleashed an unprecedented
response among disabled individuals. According to
IDEA '97, twice as many of today's twenty-year olds
with disabilities are working, and three times the
number are enrolled in college, as compared to their
predecessors. Federal monies are proposed to pro-
vide upwards of $10 million annually to train faculty
and administrators to educate disabled students. This
massive effort to help me and my peers move
towards the goal of employment through education
could be even more effective if the time problem
could be solved for blind students. I have a propos-
al for a simple solution.

In 1932, the new technology of the recording indus-
try created the first major breakthrough in access for
the blind. The American Foundation for the Blind
invented Talking Books to give the vision-impaired

an alternative to Braille for reading. Congress, in
turn, provided by law for free mailing of Talking
Books, thus opening the literary world to the blind.
As time went by, textbook publishers joined the
effort, providing newly-published texts to
Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic, for voice
transcription on cassettes. Today, blind students are
expected to use recorded textbooks. However, cer-
tain fundamental problems exist with textbooks on
cassettes: not all texts are recorded; when recorded,
the most recent edition may not be available; when
available, the text often takes longer than an academ-
ic term to arrive; when used for academic study and
research taped textbooks are frightfully inefficient.
A better technology is literally at our fingertips: dig-
ital.

In the digital age, authors create their manuscripts
on computers. The publishing process involves the
transmission of digital text directly to computer-run
printing presses. Every textbook exists in digital
form before it is bound between the covers of a book.

My proposal is this: Congress should pass a law
requiring textbook publishers to make textbooks
available to blind students on CD-ROM. It is fair to
assume that publishers would have legitimate copy-
right concerns, but I am confident that the law would
address such issues in a way similar to the standards
that Talking Books and Recordings For the Blind and
Dyslexic have in place. For example, to qualify for
their services, the user must submit documentation of
the visual impairment.

If not for the opportunities given by America, I
might be sitting on the porch listening to the world
go by. Instead, I am striving for the promise held out
to me that I can succeed through hard work and edu-
cation, in the belief that "education and lifelong
learning are stepping-stones for everyone". My goal
is to make myself into that "most qualified appli-
cant". What I am proposing is a simple, cost-effec-
tive way of leveling the playing field.

Strikes! A Clarion student blasts back at Lita Cohen, from
Page 2.

I am reminded of something that a very wise man once told me, when
I first came to college. This wise man being my older brother who grad-
uated from Clarion last spring, and is now in Boston attending Graduate
school for free. This is thanks to his involvement in college activities
and through what he has learned here, a non-ivy league, SSHE school.
He said, "The college does not make the man, what the man does, what
the man is involved in, and what the man experiences, make the man.
The college is only the mans guide to success."

By now we all know that Representative Cohen was born into wealth
and luxury, and that her experi-
ences were always shaped around
that. It is just too bad that the
same wealth and luxury could not
pay to fix her horrible people
skills, her "privileged" state of
mind, or the inability to bite her
tongue before saying something
stupid.

Sincerely,

Benjamin M. Chervenak

Tuesday March 28, Clarion h oar generation so apathetic ^**"" VJVllillC 3U111C dUjJ|JUn

Tuesday March 28, (Marion
University's Student Senate held
an Open Forum for candidates
running for Senate next year. Or
should I say they attempted to
hold a forum.

Unfortunately the other stu-
dents didn't feel as though it was
important enough to come out
and support their fellow stu-
dents.

The open forum is held so that
you, the students, can have the
chance to ask the candidates
what they can do to help this
university.

Student Senate represents the
students in issues that directly
affect us. For example, the stu-
dent activity fee was recently
raised. Student Senate asked for
the students opinion but once
again there was no response. If
you are unhappy with the quali-
ty of food at Chandler or
Gemmell where should you go?
Student Senate, of course. So
why when election time comes
around, very few students seem
to care?

Is our generation so apathetic
that we don't even care about
issues that will affect us?

Last year only 554 students
voted. Okay let's do a little
math here, 554 students out of
approximately 5,500 students
who attend Clarion, that's 10
percent of our student body. If
only 10 percent of Americans
voted then our government
might consist of Ross Perot and
Donald Trump.

The Student Senate is going to
attempt to hold another forum,
Monday April 3, 8:30 p.m. in the
Gemmell Multi Purpose room.

I can't stress enough how
important it is to attend. It's
time for students to stand up and
let their voices be heard.

Those Student Senators who
attended Tuesday's "Open
Forum" must have been appalled
to look out into the crowd and
see roughly 15 people. If only
15 people care about elections
on this campus then what's the
point of having them? The bot-
tom line is when elections start
on April 3, GO VOTE.

Dear Editor,

I am writing to express my disappointment in
the turnout at Tuesday night's Open Forum for
"Meet the Candidates" for the Student Senate.

What does it take to get students involved?
Don't the students want to know who they are
going to elect and what they are going to do?

Twenty-three very dedicated student candi-
dates turned out for the forum. Instead, they got
turned away and asked to participate in another
open forum to be held on Monday night after
the regular Student Senate meeting. This is to
their benefit that they have the chance to inter-
act with the students and let you know what
they plan to do while on Senate.

Sure, it would have been very easy to cancel
the open forum completely. However, we are
trying to allow the students who have never
been on Senate before the chance to show you
what they can do.

Every student needs to realize what a com-
mitment Senate is. Senate needs to be more
important that anything else you become
involved in because you are representing
EVERY student on campus. You need to make
the commitment. You are elected to serve them.

This open forum was started several years
ago as a chance for students to attend this
forum to get to know the candidates. Before

this, the students didn't know who they were
voting for until they read it in the CALL or
went to vote. This gives you the chance to ask
them the questions.

It is easy to criticize student government.
That's fine. But when you don't make the effort
to come out and find out who you are voting
for, you show you don't care. Then you can't
criticize. This is your opportunity to find out
the facts.

I have never heard as much criticism as I have
heard in my last year on Senate. All students
need to realize that things aren't going to
change overnight. It takes a lot of effort and
even more time. But, in making that effort, you
will persevere.

Through three years on Senate, one thing has
remained the same. The number of people who
want to make the commitment to Senate dwin-
dles. As do the number attending "Meet the
Candidates" night.

Come support the candidates Monday night at
yet another open forum. Let's hope for stronger
turnout.

Sincerely,

Leslie Suhr

Proposed transportation system questioned by Senators

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

At Monday, March 27, Student
Senate's meeting, Dr. Wood
Yeaney, Director of the Small
Business Development Center,
spoke about the Transportation
Proposal for a University and
Community busing system.

According to the Student Senate
meeting minutes, a proposal is
being considered by a company,
from central Pennsylvania, who
would be able to purchase and
seek grants for funding.

Senators asked questions regard-
ing the proposed route for the sys-
tem. Currently, the plan is to route
the system to the University,
downtown Clarion, and the
Clarion Mall.

No definite sources of funding
or routes have been established
and it is currently unknown until
contracts are drafted and signed
who will control the transporta-
tion system.

Senate later passed a resolution
stating, The Student Senate voted
to raise the Student Activity fee to
$110 at the December 6, 1999
Student Senate meeting with the
approval of Dr. Reinhard. Five
dollars of this increase would be
contributed to a busing system
between the campus and commu-
nity.

The resolution continues by stat-
ing the Transportation Committee
has not yet ensured the Student
Senate that the busing system
would be in place by fall of 2000.
The Transportation Committee
has not yet ensured the Student
Senate that it has acquired the
necessary additioanl funds for
such a sstem states the resolution.

It continues by saying the stu-
dents will then be paying for a bus
system that is not guaranteed to be
in place for their use. Student
Senate will not charge the $5
trasportation fee until the bus sys-

tem is in place.

It concludes by stating that the
incoming Student Senate should
be consulted before any said con-
sideration of this policy should
change.

There was hesitation by
Senators that charging this fee for
a system that may not be imple-
mented was not fair to the stu-
dents.

The Senate will charge the fee,
however, if and when the system

buy passes and can play pick-up
ball with their players if the courts
are open.

Students are permitted to reserve
courts, even if they are athletes,
but coaches are not permitted to
reserve the courts or hold formal
practices in the Rec Center.

Sabatose said the only reason for
athletic teams to practice in that
facility is when Tippin
Gymnasium is closed for summer
camps, wrestling matches, con-

is developed.

In other business. President
Leslie Suhr turned her report over
to Lori Sabatose, Interim Director
of the Recereation Center and
Dave Tomeo, Director of
Gemmell Student Center, to
answer questions regarding use of
the center, athletic usage, and
non-student fees.

Sabatose said that the proposed
fee for non-students in the sum-
mer will be $75 and the price in
the fall will be $125 for an unlim-
ited access pass.

President Suhr asked Sabatose
to address policies on court reser-
vations.

Sabatose said that coaches can

certs, and other various reasons.

Finally, a card reader will be
installed this summer so that stu-
dents will slide their I.D. cards
through to verify if they are cur-
rently enrolled.

President Suhr also announced
that Senators attending the last
Board of Student Government
Presidents meeting in April will
stay for Advocacy Day on
Monday, May 1, in Harrisburg.

"The purpose is to lobby the
State Sytem for money and ask for
supprt for our programs," she
said.

Treasurer Brian Sowa read the
account balances. There is
$82.895. 19 in the Capital Account

www.cIarion.edu/thecall

and $262,34 1 .97 in the Large Item
Capital Account. There is
$11,069.13 in the Supplemental
Account and $9,452.53 in the
Supplemental Reserve Account.

Under Appropriations business,
Treasurer Sowa moved to allocate
$348 from the Supplemental
Account to Rho Epsilon for an
educational trip.

The motion failed 0-15-1 for
reasons including lack of justifi-
cation for the trip and breakdowns
for specific allocations. No repre-
senative from the organization
was present to address questions.
Senate also voted to allocate
$1,210 from the Supplemental
Account to the Lift Every Voice
Gospel Choir for a College
Gospel Festival in Atlanta,
Georgia.

Under new business, Treasurer
Sowa moved to approve the
Clarion Students' Association
Constitution.

The Constitution was amended
to read that the Senate would
require a majority of the member-
ship to approve an allocation or
vote on the budget. This would
require 1 1 members of the Senate
to vote to approve an allocation.

The ammended Constitution
will be voted on by the students
during elections on April 3, 4, and
5.

Under other new business,
Treasurer Brian Sowa announced
that the Appropriations

Committee is looking into charg-
ing freshman a one-time only fee
of a proposed $30 to provide more
available scholarships to student
athletes.

"This fee would help make
Clarion University more competi-
tive in all sports with the other
state schools," Sowa said.

Slippery Rock and California
Universities of Pennsylvania are
currently considering adopting
this fee as well.

Kutztown and Indiana

Universities of Pennsylvania are
currently charging this fee to stu-
dents and the money provides
scholarships to their students.

Some Senators support this
because they feel that not only
athletes will benefit from this, but
also the university.

This will encourage potential
recruitment of athletes that might
have otherwise chosen to attend
another University.

President Suhr said, "This is
something that we have been
looking into for several years.
And, if it seems to be a positive
thing, we hope the University will
support it as well. Hopefully, we
can continue to support both men
and womens sports equally."

Senator Jen Mathis reviewed the
elections procedure and
announced where and when the
polls will be open.

Senator Ben Chervenak
announced that 163 student tick-
ets and 232 non-sudent tickets
have been sold for the Tonic
Concert on Wednesday night.

The University Activities Board
is looking into signing Dave
Matthews for next year's concert.

An open forum for meeting the
candiadtes will be on Tuesday at
7:30 in Hart Chapel.

The purpose of the forum is to
provide students a chance to let
others know what they will do
while serving on Senate and pro-
vide platform statements.

As of Call deadline, the forum
has been moved to Monday, April
3 at 8:30 in the Gemmell Multi-
Purpose Room due to lack of
attendance at Tuesday's forum.

The next meeting of the Student
Senate will be held in 246
Gemmell at 7:30 p.m. on Monday,
April 3.

The Student Senate would like
to encourage all students to attend
the "Meet the Candidates" open
forum and vote during elections
for your new Student Senate.

CU takes part in nation-
al alcohol screening day

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor

Clarion University will be par-
ticipating in National Alcohol
Screening Day on Thursday, April
6, 2000. This will give students,
faculty, and staff an opportunity to
complete an anonymous question-
aire concerning the use of alcohol.
Participants will talk one-on-one
with a health care professional
regarding any questions.

During 1999. roughly 50,000
individuals participated in the pro-
gram and over 30,000 participants
were screened at 1,700 colleges
and community-based sites
nationwide.

At this screening, students will
be able to take a self-test about
alcohol problems regarding alco-
hol at Clarion University. There
will also be educational sessions
where students can learn what
happens to their bodies and how
to help a friend that has had too
much to drink.

Other topics that will be dis-
cussed are binge drinking, why
some people handle alcohol better
than others, and how to get pro-
fessional help for someone you
are concerned about.

Dr. John Postlewait, Director of
the Drug and Alcohol Program at
Clarion University, says that it is
critical for students to know how

alcohol can endanger your life.

"Understanding alcohol means
more than just knowing what's in
a Long Island Iced Tea. It is criti-
cal that college students know that
alcohol can be a dangerous and
life-threatening substance," he
said.

Postlewait said, "Alcohol is fre-
quently a factor in the three lead-
ing causes of death — auto crashes,
homicides, and suicides — for 15
to 24 year olds, but by learning the
facts about alcohol, you can cut
your risk and have a good time
without endangering yourself and
others."

Statistics show that the 18
through 2 1 age range is the devel-
opmental period of heaviest con-
sumption of alcohol in the United
States.

A 1997 study found that 42.7
percent of college students report
ed binge drinking at least once
within a week of being surveyed.
National Alcohol Screening Day
is a program of the nonprofit
screening for Mental Health in
partnership with the National
Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism and the Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment.

Clarion University will be offer-

Bloomsburg University
says goodbye

A fire killed three Bloomsburg Untveristy stu-
dents at the Tau Kappa Epsiton (TKE) frater*
nity house early Sunday morning. The cause
of the fire is still under investigation

Bloomburg University students Marcus C.
LaBuda, Cliff Vail, and Kristoffer Polhemus
were killed in the fire that occured at the TKE
fraternity at 618 East Fourth Street in
Bloomburg, according to BU spokesperson
Jim Hollister. Holllster also serves as the
adviser to TKE. The fraternity's dog, Jacob,
was also killed in the fire

Investigators have ruled out a defective fur-
nace as the cause of Sunday's fire, according
to Bloomsburg Town Police Chief Larry Smith.
They have also established the fire was not
caused by any criminal means. Smith had not
yet seen the official coroner's report, but said
the cause of death for the three victims was
smoke inhalation.

The fire, which Smith described as "very
active" on the first floor, also extensively dam-
aged a neighboring town house. The TKE
house was burned to the ground.

"I've seen many fires but I have never seen
anything like this one" Smith said. "I've never
seen anything with that kind of intense heat."

Around 7 p.m. Saturday, the police received
a call reporting that bottle rockets had been
set off on the TKE property earlier in the week,
according to Smith.

The remains of one rocket could be seen
across the street from the house, but "was so
wetted that it could have been set off a couple
of weeks ago," Smith said.

According to Smith, a "social gathering" was
scheduled Saturday night at TKE. The "date
party," where TKE brothers each bring a date
to the house, included approximately 30 peo-
ple.

University and rescue officiate spoke with

the survivors Sunday to determine how many
people were in the house - they said no
guests from the party had stayed the night.
The families of the three missing students
were contacted Sunday by the university and
brought to campus.

The TKE house had six residents-TKE
brothers Kevin Murphy and Dave Pulieri
escaped the fire, which was reported at 6:05
a.m. Sunday, according to Smith. James
Oe2zl, an alumnus, stayed at the house
Saturday night and also escaped the fire.

LaBuda, 22, was a senior and president of
the TKE chapter at BU. He was a Hazleton
native majoring in environmental planning.
Vail, 21, was a resident of Dunellen, N.J. He
was a junior majoring in business, Polhemus,
22, was a resident of Hampton, N.J. and a
senior biology major.

Funeral arrangements for LaBuda, Vail and
Polhemus were announced Tuesday and
Wednesday. Services for LaBuda will be held
Thursday in Hazleton. Services for Vail will be
held Saturday in Clinton, N.J. Memorial ser-
vices at the university are also being held with
more information available early next week.

The university has also set up a memorial
fund for the victims.

Members of the TKE fraternity held an emo-
tional press conference Tuesday afternoon to
address the public. They did not take any
questions from the press.

"Marcus, Cliff, and Kris are the heart and
soul of TKE at Bloomsburg," they said in their
statement. "The first to volunteer for every-
thing and anything. Leaders. They always
had smiles on their faces. They are much
more than friends. They are brothers. They'll
be in our hearts forever, we'll treasure the
times we spent together here."

Edinboro students warned by
police of credit card fraud

Edinboro University police have recently
been investigating a number of thefts that
have occured on campus, including robbery
and cfedit card fraud.

According to campus police, on February
23, a resident of Shafer Hall reported a
stolen Discover Card and MasterCard. The
thief had recently used each card. On
February 25, an unknown person(s) stole a
credit card out of a Shafer Hall resident's
wallet.

An investigation is pending.

In response , campus police are encourag-
ing students to be cautious and to protect
themselves against theft.

According to Deputy Chief Paul Bennetti,
students should always lock their doors end
vehicles even if they are only going to be
gone lor a short time.

"Always lock your doors, even if you're just
gong down the hall for a few minutes to visit
friends or to the restroom," said Bennetti.

Credit care' fraud is also becoming a prob-
lem, especially with the ease and accessibil-
ity of Internet and telephone shopping, said
Bennetti. A thief can access a cardholder's
number by looking through the trash for old
receipts and credit card statements.

Once a thief has this number, the expiration
date, and the cardholder's name, there are
few limits for telephone or online shopping.
If a thief actually gets someone's credit
card, there is even more opportunity for
fraud, said Bennetti. Store clerks recently
ask for identification when someone makes a
purchase with a credit card.

Curtis addresses off-campus behavior

by Arthur H. Barlow
Clarion Call Staff .Writer

Dr. George Curtis, Vice
President for Student Affairs,
spoke concerning the issue of off-
campus behavior at the Monday,
March 27, Faculty Senate meet-
ing.

Curtis responded to the recent
stabbing that took place at the
Alpha Chi Rho House. Because
of that incident, many questions
have been raised as to what disci-
plinary action Clarion University
can take for off-campus student
misconduct.

Disciplinary action can be taken
Curtis said, but is it often difficult
to do so, since most misconduct is
also a violation of the law.

According to Curtis, when
something is a violation of the law
it is often harder to get official
documents.

He also said that alcohol is relat-
ed to most situations of miscon-
duct. The single most serious
kind of situation tends to be at a
"social gathering" where there is
a fee to get in. Hosts usually can't
regulate what each party goer
does, said Curtis.

He also outlined the University's
policy on what happens when an
underage student is caught with
alcohol. When a student is caught
with alcohol, Curtis said, they are
immediately put on probation and
a letter is sent home to their par-
ents or guardians.

The student is also required to
take classes with the Alcohol
Prevention Program on campus
through the Drug and Alcohol
Program at Clarion.

According to Curtis, 149 letters
were sent to parents and guardians
last year. The University, to his
knowledge, has never received
positive feedback from parents or

guardians concerning those let-
ters.

In the aftermath of the
Bloomsburg tragedy, questions
were raised concerning liability ot
fraternity housing.

Curtis discussed that all fraterni-
ty houses are privately owned and
only one is located in the Clarion
borough.

Since only one house is located
in the borough, that house must

In October of 1999, The State System of Higher Education's Board
of Governor's approved the Office of Corporate Alliances that will
increase relationships between the state universities and the common
wealth businesses.

Recently, a budget was proposed to the state legislature by the
Office of Corporate Alliances to obtain more funding for this project
that is still in the early stages.

A request of $2 million was placed for the 2000-2001 school year,
that will allow the the Office of Corporate Alliances to grow in three
areas.

First, the money will help the program to meet the necessary
requirements for Pennsylvania's workforce. Secondly, the alloca-
tion would allow the State System to meet the needs of businesses
quickly. Finally, opportunities within various fields can be identi-
fied.

This idea came from the newly named director of the Office of
Corporate Alliances, Joan Danko, who is a 'loaned executive' from
IBM. Through her research on advancing communications between
universities and businesses, this project came into existance.

Currently, five projects have been started with various universities.
For Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, the project includes a
joint grant from the Pennsylvania Technology Investment Authority
to allow the town of Bloomsburg to connect with the university.
Another grant would connect Lock Haven University of
Pennsylvania and Kenet digitally by MedNet, a healthcare training
and medical research project.

"As our world gets smaller with the increased use of technology,
Pennsylvania finds itself competing not just regionally, but global
ly," said System Chancellor James H. McCormick. "The Corporate
Alliance will help the business community connect with the
System's resources to remain competitive in today's environment."

Through their grant, Cheyney University of Pennsylvania can par-
ticipate in The Pennsylvania State Univeristy Semiconductor
Manufactoring Technology program along with West Chester
University of Pennsylvania in the Greater Philadelphia First
Technology Skills program.

A grant for California, East Stroudsburg, Lock Haven, and West
Chester University of Pennsylvania will allow them to participate in
IBM's University Program. •

Thompson 's Tips

Symptoms, treatments, and recovery for STD's

by A. A. Thompson

Clarion Call

Assistant News Editor

One in every 1,000 people will
test positive for HIV, the disease
that causes AIDS. Many other
people are infected with the var-
ious other kinds of sexually
transmitted diseases (STD's)
and aren't aware of it.

People are often unaware they
have STD's because certain
STD's have no symptoms. The
scary truth behind that fact is
that even if you are assympto-
matic, you can still spread an
STD to a partner.

STD's can be spread through
vaginal, anal or oral intercourse.
In some cases, STD's can also
be spread through kissing and
intimate touching.

Injections, (as in drug use),
body piercing, tattoos and vita-

mins have been responsible for
STD's as well.

STD's are equal opportunity.
They don't care what your age,
race, religion, family back-
ground or sexual orientation is.
Also, one can not tell that
someone has an STD by looking
at them.
There are many different kinds

of STD's, and the most common
will be discussed in the follow-
ing paragraphs.

Chlamydia is one such STD

that even the person who has it
may not be aware they have it.
If a person has symptoms, they
might have an unusual genital
discharge or some sort of pain
and burning when urinating.

If chlamydia goes untreated
often sterility can occur in both
men and women.

Gonorrhea, like chlamydia,
has no definite symptoms. As in
chlamydia, possible symptoms
could be strange genital dis-
charge or pain when urinating.

Gonorrhea leaves many possi-
ble effects if untreated, such as,
sterility and heart problems.
Gonorrhea may also cause the
brain, spinal cord, joints and
organs to experience pain and
swelling.

Syphilis, transmitted through
kissing and unprotected sex,
usually develops as a sore
around the mouth, penis, vagina

or anus. When syphilis goes
untreated, damage to the brain
and nervous system sets in.

Genital Warts, which can look
like cauliflower bumps,
increase your chances for cervi-
cal and other types of cancer.

Hepatitis B, which is passed
by having unprotected sex and
sharing needles, is easier to
detect due to certain symptoms.
Symptoms include, fever,
achy muscles, vomiting and
diarrhea. If Hepatitis B goes
unnoticed, liver damage may
result.

Herpes is one viral STD that
you can obtain through kissing,
intimate touching and unpro-
tected sex. Itching, burning,
and oral or genital blisters are
the most common symptoms.

Symptoms often appear then
reappear. When symptoms do
appear they are often controlled
with medication.

sex and by sharing needles.

People may have also con-
tracted the virus if they received
a blood transfusion before 1985.
(Before this time, blood was not
properly screened as it is now.)

It is important to know that
HIV is not contracted through
casual contact or the air.

The good news about all
STD's is that all STD's are
treatable. The bad news is that
not all STD's are curable.

STD's like chlamydia, gonor-
rhea and syphilis are all curable
with anti-biotics. Herpes and
other viruses cannot be cured
and will stay with you forever.

Hepatitis B is a rare STD that
is preventable with a vaccine.

In fact, all STD's are pre-
ventable if you simply abstain
from sex. If you choose to not

abstain, however, you can pro-
tect yourself by using male or
female condoms.
Condoms, although not always
foolproof, protect you from
STD's and pregnancy.
Condoms can also prolong
one's erection.

Condoms can be purchased
anywhere from drug and gro-
cery stores to vending machines
in gas stations.

Free or inexpensive condoms
can come from family planning
centers or where STD testing is
provided.

It is also important to remem-
ber that, "There is no such thing
as safe sex only safer sex," said
Darlene Hartle, nurse and
Health Educator for Keeling
Health Center.

Talking openly to your partner
is also crucial to avoid contract-
ing an STD. "The only person
you can be sure of is yourself,"
she said.

Darlene Hartle said,
"Whenever you have inter-
course with a person, you are
not just having intercourse with
that person, but with all of their
previous partners."

If you think you may have an
STD, it important to find out at
least for your partner's sake.
Free and confidential testing for
STD's is done locally.

HIV testing is done at the
State Health Department at
Applewood Valley Center. For
more information, call 226-
2170.

Family Planning Center also
provides HIV and other STD
testing. The number for the
Family Planning Center is 226-
7500.

Keeling Health Center can
also test for STD's, but there is
a fee. The Health Center cannot
perform HIV tests for the sake
of confidentiality.

If when tested, you discover
you have an STD, it is important
to remember that life is not
over.

People with STD's lead
healthy lives everyday. If one
feels overwhelmed with the
news that they have and STD,
support groups are available.

Free individual counseling is
always offered at Egbert
Counseling Services.

Theatre Review

Plane crashes, fishing poles and dead crows: A night with Sam Shepard

by Jeff Chaffee

Clarion Call Assistant

Lifestyles Editor

Second Series, at least in
my experiences with it, has
always been a place for
some experimentation. This
is a good thing; like I said
with one of my other theatre
reviews, without some vari-
ety and spice, we'd be sub-
jected to inane repetition of
The Glass Menagerie and
Oklahoma! Not good.

Last weekend, Clarion's
Theatre department per-
formed the spring Second

Series plays, three of Sam
Shepard's weird one-act
shots. First up was Chicago.
I just want to say right now
that any play with a dude in
a bathtub the entire time is
worthy of some pretty high
praise. That dude was Matt
Croyle, portraying a very
odd man indeed. One of the
best little things about all
the plays was their arbitrary
imagery. I saw in Chicago a
very real reference to addic-
tion; the final lines of the
play just about spelled that
out to me. On the other
hand, I'd heard everything

Philadelphia artist displays work

from "No, it's not drugs
He's autistic or something
like that," to "The tub was
his womb. He couldn't
leave it." The cast was the
perfect accent to the confus-
ing aspects of the
play. ..kudos to them for a
great job.

Up next was the LSD-
soaked (and I defy anyone to
tell me this one wasn't about
acid) Icarus' Mother. At
first glance more representa-
tional and realistic than
Chicago, the play then took
some very serious and quite
bizarre twists in logic. A
normal beach picnic
becomes a fixation with a jet
pilot, and an act of sheer

will drives the plane from
the sky? Urn, sure. Again,
the cast made this play;
without a cast who was pret-
ty malleable and who had at
least some outside-the-play
connections (there seemed
to be some true friendship
going behind the scenes),
Icarus would never have
gotten off the ground.

The finale of the evening
was the motel drama
Cowboy Mouth. Hee hee

Thread and Paint," an art exhi-
bition by visiting artist Judy
Skoogfors is scheduled in Clarion
University of Pennsylvania
Sandford Gallery, March 13 -
April 19. Skoogfors will give an
artist lecture on April 1, at 4 p.m.

The exhibit is free and open to
the public. Gallery hours are:
Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 11
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Wednesday
and Thursday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
For more information about the
exhibit or Sandford Gallery con-
tact Barthosa Nkuremeh, gallery
director at 814-393-2412.

Skoogfors creates complex
stitcheries on fine linen which are
mounted on canvas. Often, gold
leaf is laid under the open work of
the stitchery. The canvases are
then painted with free and vigor-
ous brushwork, which contrasts
strongly with the painstaking work
that precedes it.

"As an ex-ballet dancer, I know
that I am influenced by the atmos-
phere of the stage, the lights, the
costumes, the theatrical world,"
says Skoogfors. "A canvas gives

the artist the same limitation as the
stage. Do something magical
within this framework."

A native of Philadelphia,
Skoogfors graduated from the
Philadelphia College of Art in
1955, while also studying and per-
forming ballet in Philadelphia and
New York. From childhood she
was fascinated with fabric,
detailed sewing and surface deco-
ration. Not surprisingly, she
choose a career as a fashion illus-
trator. She first worked in this
field in Rochester, NY, and later in
Philadelphia.

Skoogfors was asked to teach at
the Philadelphia College of Art,
(now University of Arts). After a
few years, she left this school to

whole dead crow thing threw

the loop obviously, as I was

Romeo Must Die is a smart action film, surprisingly

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Now that the Oscars are almost a
week behind us, I thought I'd cele-
brate by reviewing a film that captures
the viewer's senses and refuses to let
go. A film that reminds its audience of
the exciting possibilities that exist in
each of us. A film that highlights
courage, determination, and the tri-
umph of the human spirit. But I decid-
ed to forget all that pretentious crap
and went to see Romeo Must Die
instead.

Romeo..., the new Jet Li chop-socky
blowout, left me both pleasantly sur-
prised and slightly disappointed. Just
to get the bad news over with first,
anyone expecting two hours of
straight carnage and brutality will
leave the theater unsatisfied. The

fighting scenes are actually the weak-
est part of a film that's being marketed
as a pure adrenaline rush. That being
said, Romeo Must Die is still a very
fun and entertaining film. Audiences
will probably be shocked to learn that
Romeo... has a plot beyond the stan-
dard "beat up the bad guys" action
film premise.

Jet Li plays Han Sing, a martial arts
master who is wrongfully imprisoned
in Hong Kong for crimes that his
father and brother committed. While
Han waited out his prison sentence,
his brother and father lied to
California, where Han's father, Chu
(Russel Wong) became head of an
organized crime syndicate.

Han escapes from jail when he learns
that his brother was murdered, possi-
bly by an associate of gang boss Isaak
O' Day (Delroy Lindo), Chu's num-

ber one competitor. Also caught up in pher Andrzej Bartkowiak wasted

the mystery is Isaak 's daughter Trish quite a few opportunities to make Li's

(Aaliyah), whose life is endangered by

the ensuing conflict between the two

gangs. Through a strange twist of fate,

Han and Trish meet and try to quickly

solve the murder of Han's brother, a

slaying that could have long term

implications not only for both gangs

but the city of Los Angeles as well.

No real surprises here, just a lot of
broken English phrases from Li and a
surprisingly assured big-screen debut
from Aaliyah. Fair warning to hip-
hop fans: DMX, billed on advertise-
ments as one of the stars of Romeo...,
has total screen time of maybe a
minute. That's too bad, especially
since his performance as a thuggish
club owner was one of the most enter-
taining parts of the film.
As for the fight scenes, cinematogra-

flips and kicks look as exciting and

The fights often come off as a jumbled
mess of high impact action and mis-
placed MTV-style editing. Some of
the special effects used in the action
scenes are quite cool, though, espe-
cially a recurring one where computer
generated X-rays show bones snap-
ping after a particularly hard hit from
Li.

But in the end, when all the battered
corpses are cleared away, Romeo... \
true strength relies in pnxJucer Joel
Silver's decision to sacrifice gore for
an engaging plot. From the kx>ks of '
its first weekend at the box office,
Silver's choice paid off. This Romeo .
may be a long way from fair Verona,
but he's a long way from dying, too.

Review: 3 stars.

Skoogfors) from Page 12.

she reduced her commercial work
and teaching load, and began to
spend more time on what she
describes as, "my art." The sud-
den death of her husband, the artist
Olaf Skoogfors, changed the struc-
ture of her life and she returned to
full time teaching and book illus-
tration. The need to do work that
was deeply personal became
stronger. Out of this experience
grew her work in etching and
mono prints and the enlargement
of the stitchery into paintings.

"I feel that these pieces are auto-
biographical," she says. "They
take a long time. The stitchery
alone can occupy a year's worth of
labor. They evolve, like a life,
over a long time span, revealing
the complexities and rhythms of
my experience."

Skoogfors joined the Third
Street Gallery in 1993, and has
exhibited widely in the
Philadelphia area for the past 15

years.

Women and men disagree about humor

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer

Today, I'd like to share with you
my thoughts on the presidential
campaign. Unfortunately, I don't
have any, because my wife and I
just had a baby.

The birth went very well from
my perspective, which was the
perspective of a person keeping
an eye on the contractions via a
hospital bedside computer moni-
tor. My wife, who was experi-
encing the contractions in person,
found it more challenging,
although I know she appreciated
my helpful reports:

ME: (watching monitor): OK,
you're having a contraction now.
MICHELLE:
ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH

ME: It looks like a big one.

MICHELLE:
AAAAAAAAAAR-
RRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHH-
HHHHHHHHH-
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOO

The contractions went on for
what seemed like two years,

although it was really only about
14 months. In theory, the baby
was supposed to be headed
toward the exit at that point, but
this particular baby seemed to
like it in there. This baby was
still up in the vicinity of
Michelle's sinus cavities.

So with month 15 of labor
looming, the doctors decided to
remove the baby via Caesarian
section, a medical procedure
named for the Roman emperor
Julius Section. They put up a
curtain, with Michelle's head on
one side and the rest of her body
on the other. Michelle and I both
stayed on the head side, so we
saw nothing; the doctors could
have been over there grafting on
extra legs, or replacing
Michelle's spleen with a harmon-
ica, and we would have no way of
knowing.

Finaliy, the doctors shouted
"Stand up, Dad!" This was my
signal to stand up, look over the
screen, and pass out.

No, seriously, I managed to
remain conscious, because I was
dying to know the baby's gender.

There's a test they can do to
determine the gender ahead of
time; I think they insert a tiny
photo of Leonardo DiCaprio into
the uterus, and if the baby punch-

es it, it's a boy. We had not had
this test done. We had, however,
heard many strong opinions from
total strangers. For some reason,
total strangers feel compelled to
do two things whenever they see
a pregnant woman:

1. Touch her belly, as though
her navel were an elevator but-
ton; and
2. Look her over, the way state-

fair judges examine a cow, then
loudly declare the baby's gender.

There was absolutely no doubt
in anybody's mind that this baby
was a boy. During the pregnancy
at least 600 total strangers
assured us of this fact.
NOBODY thought it was a girl.
So you will not be surprised to
learn that when the moment
came, the doctors reached in and
pulled out 7 pounds, 9 ounces of
Sophie Kaufman Barry.

As a trained journalist, I can
state with total objectivity that
she is the cutest girl in the history
of the world. The doctors took
one look at her and immediately
decided that they would shut
down the hospital birthing unit,
because the baby was so perfect
that there was clearly no point in
making any more.

OK, they didn't say that, but
they agreed, under intensive
interrogation from the father, that
the baby was pretty darned cute.
She is also, of course, very gifted.
I know this because the next
morning, I carried Sophie over to
the hospital-room window, and

we looked out, and I told her that
this was the world, and she would
not get involved with it. I also
told her that our policy regarding
boys was that she would never be
allowed to date or look directly at
them. I could tell by her facial
expression that she understood
me completely. Although it
might also have been gas.

So now we're in that mode -
you parents know the mode I'm
talking about - where you don't
sleep much, and you find yourself
celebrating a baby poop the way
the French celebrated the libera-
tion of Paris, and you walk
around the house at 4:30 a.m.
with the baby on your shoulder,
trying to remember the words to
lullabies. ("And if that Billy goat
don't shed, papa's gonna buy
you. ..a squirrel named Ed.")

My point is that lately I haven't
had time to follow the presiden-
tial campaign, or to assess the
current crop of candidates. I'm
sure they're all fine men. But
they're not getting near my

daughter.

Student Senate Elections

Andrew Barnes

Sarah Callero

Ben Chervenak

I, Andrew Barnes, am running for Senate for the
following reasons:

*The Gen Ed requirements need to be
reworked so that the negative impact of taking
these requirements on students GPA's can be
reduced.

*There needs to be unity between all
SSHE system schools senates to lobby for more
money for the system.

Food services provide students with a large
selection of food. But students need more
options in how to purchase this food. The types
of meal plans that are available do not match the
needs of the students. Both those living on and
off campus need a wider range of choices,
including amounts of and how meals and flex
can be used. This would result in less waste of
food and money spent on unused meal plans.

When I first became involved in Senate last year
it was because I wanted to become more
involved in the university. Now, I would like to
help get the other students more involved. By
being a part of many campus activities I have
been able to see and hear what the students want
out of the university and its student government.
I have learned and accomplished many things
throughout my past year on Senate and I hope I
can continue to do this by being re-elected.

Student Senate Elections

Tia Diggs

Huriya Evans

Melissa Gring

My name is Tia Diggs and I am interested in
candidancy for Student Senate. I can contribute
great ideas, leadership skills as well as diversity
among senators. My main goal is to serve the
students and try to accommodate their needs
and wishes. Clarion students need a voice and I
want to be the one that speaks for them.

It is imperative for Student Senate to represent
the University's entire population-women and
minorities alike. Being a woman and of the
minority, I believe that I can be an important
voice for a large portion of Clarion's population;
though I will not limit myself to helping only
these people because that defeats the purpose of
holding an office. Most importantly, I will be a
determined advocate for helping student's tran-
sitions in higher education.

Being a Student Senate representative is a diffi-
cult and challenging job, but one I enjoy to par-
take in. Communication among the student
body is a must for all Senators because Senators
are the ones making decisions to benefits the stu-
dent body. This is why I am choosing to rerun
for student senate. Other activities that I am
involved in puts me in contact with members of
the student body. With this contact, I am able to
bring to Senate my ideas along with other stu-
dents wants, needs, and desires at Clarion
University.

As a Senator, I will voice your concerns and

role of Senator will allow me to focus mv
strengths as a leader and energy as an athlete, to
better our experiences here at Clarion. I wall
work with the other Senators to fulfill my duties
and responsibilities.

As a current Student Senator I have served on
the student facilities committee and appropria-
tions committee. I'm a member of the Sigma Tau
Gamma fraternity and a former CU football play-
er. If re-elected I will work to improve problems
with parking and help to keep the Rec-Center
functioning at a high level for all students. I
would appreciate your vote on election day.
Thank you.

A collaboration of problems plague our campus here at
Clarion University. Unsightly fees ranging from 10 cent
copies to $174 internet and cable connections empty our
wallets daily. Along with fees, there are other issues con-
cerning board use at Gemmell and lack of involvement
among the students to name a few. These are just some
of the issues that I would like to tackle. By being part of
the Student Senate I feel I would help conquer these
problems and problems yet to come.

My proven exemplary service to the university
through various leadership positions such as
Vice-President of Inter-Hall Council, a Residence

qualities. The qualities I would bring to Student
Senate if elected are integrity, approachability,
and excellent decision making skills. I will pro-
mote and foster new and innovative ideas hop-
ing to help build a community built on mutual
respect and communication.

My main concern is to represent the views of the
student body here at Clarion. I will listen to any
comments and or complaints which anybody
brings to me, and do my best to represent them to
the senate. I am very open and willing to address
any concern which may arise. My goal is to try to
make Clarion a better place for its students, any
way I possibly can.

As a member of the Student Athlete Advisory

David Snyder

My name is Erika Pidro, a sophomore, here at Clarion.
As a current Senator, I have already met the qualifica-
tions necessary to complete the position. I am a reliable
person and a proponent of change and would like to see
the individual students needs met. While carrying a 3.6
and holding two jobs, I am also involved with many
organizations dealing with my Special Elementary
Education major. By being an active member on campus
and volunteering with different groups, I believe, by
being re-elected, that I would extend my opportunity to
serve the student body.

In order to change, we need to create leaders
who will in turn create ideas that will build tra-
ditions. We need to step out of our comfort zone
by challenging ourselves to take risks and learn
from our mistakes. We need to establish oppor-
tunities for individuals to have their voices
heard. We need to find the commonalities
between us and build upon these bonds to create
"The driving force that Student Senate will
always be."

lyana Tennon

As a Student Senate member, I would like to do
more for the average student. The new recre-
ation center should be for the students.
Community members should pay more per year
than students. More than they currently do. As
a resident assistant, I feel I am more in touch with
the feelings and opinions of the large student-
body percentage that lives on campus. After all,
aren't senators supposed to represent the stu-
dents?

By seeking re-election to Student Senate, I
pledge to continue to voice concerns of the stu-
dent body and strive to better our college experi-
ence. Through my involvement on the CSA
Board of Directors, various campus committees,
and as Treasurer of Senate, I feel that I have the
necessary leadership and communication skills
to continue to effectively serve the Clarion
University student body.

As a member of Student Senate I will work to
get entertaining and educational programs in
which students and faculty of different races and
cultures will be encouraged to attend. I also
would like to encourage advisors and other fac-
ulty members to become involved with freshmen
and seniors so they may graduate on time. I will
work to enforce the Big Brother Big Sister pro-
gram on campus so incoming freshmen can have
a friend at Clarion who will give advice and
direction. My main goal is to do my best to cre-
ate happy memories for everyone at Clarion

Track team wins a total of eleven events at the early bird track meet

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Golden Eagles track team
opened up the season with the
Clarion Early Bird Track & Field
Meet. Nearly 400 athletes and 12
teams competed in the two day
event. Events began Friday for
the heptathlon and decathlon for
both the men and the women.

This was the opener for the out-
door season for the CU track
team. Coach Mooney has high
hopes for this season. "We fin-
ished last year on a high and are
real excited about this year," said
head coach Pat Mooney.

The Early Bird meet proved to
be a great start for the CU track
team. The CU women had an
excellent day winning seven
events. Melissa Yearous quali-
fied for nationals in the high
jump. Yearous who is a second
team all conference basketball
player jumped 5' 6 1/2 breaking
the school record. The jump also
qualified her for the prestigous
Penn Relays in late April.

"I knew she was going to do

The CU women won seven events and the men won four. In
addition ,two school records were set for Clarion in the
women's javelin and women's high jump.

well. She was close last year and
she just ran out of events,"said
Coach Mooney of Yearous.

Tori Watt won the 100 meter
spring in a time of 12.71. Watt
wasn't done there. She finished
7th in the 200 meter running in
28.17. Watt also finished third in
the javeling throwing 112'2 feet.
This throw was with a new

javelin that all PSAC schools are
now using.

Maureen Long known for her

Greek Olympics descend on Clarion

by Josiah Jones
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The fraternities and sororities
get to show their talent coming
up this week beginning Sunday
at Memorial Stadium. This
week exists to enhance the rela-
tionship of all fraternity and
sorority members. The actions
of Greeks reflect on the chap-
ters and the system as a whole.
This gives the Greeks an advan-
tage to unify and promote the
Greek system in a positive man-
ner.

The competitions range from
intellectual events like the
scholastic bowl to sports such
as swimming.

Greek week also has the
Greeks make banners for their

recognition. The purpose of the
banner is to create exposure of
the Greek community and each
individual fraternity around the
Clarion campus. The banners
will be hung up in different
buildings on campus.

The first event, which is
Greek Olympics, consists of a
Greek run in which each team
will consist of eight runners
who each run one lap around the
track. These relays will be run
by a set of lightweight and
heavyweight competitiors.
Anyone below 185 pounds is
lightweight and above is heavy-
weight.

There is also a chariot race
where two individuals pull a
chariot with two individuals on
it. Each fraternity constructs

their own chariot.

Lastly there is the heavy and
light weight rope pull where
each team consists of seven
members. The heavy man
group is not allowed to exceed
over 1600 pounds.

Greek lift 2000 will have three
events which are bench press,
dead lift, and leg press. Four
members are allowed to com-
pete in each event and are given
a chance to compete three lifts
for each event. Leg press isn't
going to count towards points,
because the judges named it for
exhibition purposes only.

The Greek Week's events are
based on a point system Which
ever organization has the most
points is awarded the Greek
week champions.

faster than her next closest com-
petitor, Katie Olson of Lock
Haven.

Four other CU women took first
place in their respective events.
Miesha Henry, a Clarion record
holder in the triple jump, won this
past weekend. Henry, a senior
jumped 35' 10 in the event. Lisa
Hamrick won the pole vault com-
petition tying her school record
of9'6.

Heidi Shellgren won the shot
put with a 38' 4 1/2 throw.
Shellgren won the event by 2 feet
over her the next closest thrower.
Liz Eury completed the women's
victories with a win in the discus.
Eury's throw of 128' won her first
place.

"Everything worked out really
well. We had nice weather and
our team did great, both the men
and the women,"said head coach
Mooney.

On the men's side they won five
events, with the four events being
won by two of the men. David
Clark, a freshman, won the 100
meter, 200 meter, and the long

jump. Clark tore up the 100
meter running in a time of 10.97.
Clark posted a 22.32 time in the
200 meter and leaped threw the
air to a jump of 22' 9 1/4 in the
long jump.

"This is the best group of fresh-
man since I've been here,"said
Coach Mooney of Clark and his
other freshman.

Another freshman Mooney was
speaking of is Tony Morrow.
Morrow high jumped to 6'4".
Morrow helped give the CU men
their fourth victory of the day.
Todd Gilber was another winner
on Saturday claiming the triple
jump with a jump over forty four
feet. Gilbert won by almost four
feet.

Other CU runners doing well
were Jon Fox who finished third
in the 10,000 meter and Matt
Mastarone finished third in the
5000 meter.

"All in all we did better than I
thought we would. This was
simply due to the fact we have
not had a meet yet this year,"said
Mooney.

CU Baseball goes 2-2 over the weekend

by Bud Bender
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion Golden Eagles
baseball team had an action
pactkedweekend when they
played a double header both
Saturday and Sunday. After a
weekend of five hundred baseball
they came out with a 5-7 overall
record.

On Saturday they played against
Geneva who plays in the NAIA
division. In the first game,
Clarion pitcher David Graham
pitched a complete game where he
had eleven strikeouts over 7
innings.

"David Graham had a tremen-
dous game," said Coach Feldman.
Clarion came away with an 8-2
victory over Geneva.

In the second game Clarion
came out flat. Nate Baumgardner
got the start and pitched an excel-
lent game, allowing only three
runs on 7 hits in 7 innings.
Clarion was unable to produce

any offense posting zero runs.
Clarion had seven hits on the day
but were unable to get anyone
across the plate. Clarion moved
their record to 4-6 heading into a
Sunday double header.

On Sunday, St. Vincent traveled
to Clarion. Once again Clarion
got off to a good start in the front
end of a double header.
Freshman, Greg Ross pitched six
solid innings and gave way to
closer Nate Speeger, who finished
off St. Vincent in a 9-5 Clarion
win.

In the second game Clarion
again came out flat but were able
to bounce back and tie the game at
six in the late going.
Unfortunately, St. Vincent
knocked in two unearned runs in
the top half of the eighth to make
the score 8-6. Clarion was unable
to pick up any runs in the bottom
of the eighth. St. Vincent came
away with the 8-6 win.

Heading into PSAC West play

senior Jeff Stanyard is currently
batting 488 with 5 runs batted in.
Senior Justin Nash is also battling
above four hundred. Nash comes
away with a 419 average and 9
runs batted in.

Mike Morgan is playing solid at
the clean up spot, batting 333 with
one home run and eight runs bat-
ted in.

Jason Haefner is also playing
well batting 333 with one home
run and 7 runs batted in.

On the defensive side sopho-
more David Graham has kept it
steady on the mound posting a
2.57 ERA with a 2-1 record.
Freshman Greg Ross is also doing
well in his first season at the
Division II level with a 2-1 record.

The next opponent for Clarion
will be on Wednesday, March
29th, late against Pitt Bradford.
This will be on the road for the
Golden Eagles. Then PSAC West
play begins Saturday against
Slippery Rock in a double header

Golf team tees off a new season

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

The spring practices have
begun for the CU golf team. The
goll team is led by first year
head coach Al Lefevre of
Brookville. The team comes off
an average fall season which saw
the Golden Eagles finish in the
middle of the pack in most tour-
naments they competed. But CU
finished on a high note with
third place at the Fairmont State
Invitational.

The spring season has a sched-
ule of six tournaments on it
,which makes it larger than the
Fall. All the tournaments lead
up to the PSAC Championships
in late April. The PSAC's will
be held for the first time in
Lancaster. All season long
Clarion will be battling it out
against IUP, Slippery Rock,
Millersville, and West Chester.

The team will be without the
services of Shawn Will. Will
was CU's #1 man for two years
,but graduated in December
1999.

Filling his spot will be fresh-
man Ryan Peffer. Peffer now
has a semester under his belt.
Peffer from nearby Moniteau ,
played well last Fall season hav-
ing a 78.5 scoring average. This
included a low round of 74 at the
Fairmont State Invitational.

Sophomore Anthony

Tacconelli will be in the two
slot. Tacconelli led the team last
year posting a 77.3 scoring
average.

Others making their presence
felt will be junior, J.P. Kenney.
A three year starter, Kenney will
try to maintain a consistent scor-
ing average. Adam Botteicher
returns to finish off his junior
campaign. The left hander had a
81.1 scoring average in the Fall.

Rounding out the top five will
be Matt Honacki. Honacki, a
senior, has lettered all three
years prior. Geary Leatherman
and Mike Robb are two other
players who can play well on
any given day.

"We need to earn the respect of
teams like IUP and Slippery
Rock. In order to do this it is
pretty simple. We have to play
better,"said head coach Leefvre.
The opener for the CU golf
team was scheduled to take place
Monday. The Golden Eagles
were supposed to travel to New
Castle Country Club where
Westminster was to have the first
tournament of the year.

But due to major renovations
on the course and the heavy rains
in the area, play was canceled.
Clarion now will open their sea-
son in Camp Lejeune, North
Carolina.

Clarion will be among 29 other
teams competing for this most

prestigous title. The field con-
tains some of the best Division II
and Division III talent on the
East Coast.

Defending champion and once
again number one team in
Division III, Methodist College
will be back to defend their title.

Clarion will be able to measure
where they stand in the PSAC.
IUP will be teeing it up in Camp
Lejeune as well.

The tournament will be played
over two different courses on the
army base. The first course will
be the gold course. The gold
course is a challenging long lay
out with some long par five's.

The Scarlet course will also be
used. This course is quite differ-
ent from the gold, in that it is
considerably shorter from tee to
green.

Every team will play each
course once. Then in the third
round of play the top fifteen will
play the gold course to deter-
mine the flight "A" champion.
The bottom fifteen teams will
compete on the scarlet course for
the flight "B" championship.

Clarion last year was unable to
make the top fifteen. Clarion
finished twenty-sixth in the thir-
ty man field.

"I would really like to make
the top fifteen. This would get a
lot of people's attention,"said
Coach Lefevre.

Softball team
splits two
games with
Mercyhurst

by Derek Pyda
Clarion Call Staff Writer,

On Wednesday March 22nd, the *
Clarion Golden Eagles softball
team traveled to Mercyhurst tor a
two game series. In the first game,
Clarion put up a good fight.
Starting pitcher Diane Whitesides
struck out five. Kristen Dinkel and
Tiffany Lawrence had one RBI
each. But in the end, it was
Mercyhurst who came out on top
3-2. '

In the second game. Clarion got
revenge. Starting pitcher Missy
Gring struck out five while Jessica
Waldman and Shin Hudson collect-
ed one RBI each. Clarion pre- .
vailed 2-1. Clarion's record now is
2-4.

If Clarion is to succeed this year,
the starting pitching is going to
have to perform well. One of the
starting pitchers is Missy Gring.
"We have a very young team,"
Gring said. She adds, "But we also
have a very stong bench." She
believes that a strong bench could
help Clarion to a winning season.

NCAA up against overwhelming forces in bid to stop gambling

Courtesy of
TMS Campus

If you log on to
http://www.ncaatournament.com
you won't wind up on an official
NCAA basketball Web site, or
even on one that celebrates every
dribble, dunk and delirious mascot
March Madness has to offer.

No, that web address will route
you to a betting site, one that
promises "More Money!" and
"Free Picks! Free Picks! Free
Picks!"

It's just another example of how
gambling is intertwined with big-
time college sports. It's every-
where, from office pools to hokey
bets between governors — a bushel
of Florida oranges for a wheel of
Wisconsin cheese — to Las Vegas,
where bettors are drawn to casino
TVs like moths to a porch light.

Six weeks after legislation to
end college sports gambling was
introduced in Congress, bettors
once again are ready to plop down
$75 to $80 million in Nevada on
the 63-game tournament. That's
roughly the same amount bet each
year on college football bowl
games, but just a fraction of the
$2.4 billion legally wagered on

college and professional sports
each year.

NCAA officials are troubled by
this. They, along with some mem-
bers of Congress, are calling for a
betting ban on all amateur sports.

"We don't endorse gambling of
any kind," said Doris Dixon,
director of federal relations for the
NCAA. "We think the legal side
of the gambling business fuels the
illegal side."

But the NCAA is in a sticky
position. It recently signed a $6.2
billion deal with CBS for the TV,
Internet and marketing rights to
March Madness. And wagering —
legal and illegal — accounts for
part of the tournament's populari-
ty-

"All sorts of people who would-
n't otherwise be interested get
drawn into this by what's going on
at the office," said Andrew
Zimbalist, professor of economics
at Smith College and author of
"Unpaid Professionals:

Commercialism and Conflict in
Big-Time College Sports."

"How do you get somebody in
San Jose to root for a Connecticut
team vs. a New York City team?
Some people are just interested in
the basketball, but the rest are

because they've got $5 in a pool."
On its own Web site (www.final-
four.net) the NCAA is selling
tournament bracket boards for
$39.99, touting them as "great for
the home or office."

Frank Fahrenkopf Jr., president
of the American Gaming
Association, said if the NCAA and
Congress want to get serious
about the issue, they should worry
less about legal gambling in
Nevada and more about illegal
gambling in the other 49 states.
He said the NCAA should employ
more than its current staff of three
people to police gambling on cam-
puses, and should work harder to
educate student-athletes on the
issues.

"It's a joke," Fahrenkof said.
"The NCAA is under a lot of pres-
sure right now to try to look
good. ..Their whole answer is
they're going to point their finger
at Nevada and say, "There's the
problem."

Congress last moved to restrict
gambling on sports in 1992, ban-
ning it in all states except Nevada,
Oregon, and Delaware. Oregon
allows betting on the NFL through
a lottery. Delaware has not adopt-
ed sports betting despite a 1976

public vote approving it.

Fahrenkopt estimates that $380
billion is bet illegally on sports
every year, making Nevada's legal
portion less than 1 percent of that.
But, as they do on just about every
issue, the two sides differ sharply
when it comes to figures.

"That ($380 billion) number is
fabricated," Dixon said. "We
talked to the FBI and they said
they have no idea. I've heard Mr.
Fahrenkopf say $100 billion, $380
billion, $700 billion. For some
reason, he believes the bigger you
make the illegal business, the
more right it makes what they
do."

Gambling on college sports is a
particularly hot topic now because
there were eight major point-shav-
ing scandals uncovered in the
1990's, as many as in the previous
50 years. The most recent to make
headlines came in 1998, when the
FBI busted Northwestern
University basketball and football
players conspiring to fix games.

The book closed on that incident
Tuesday when the former corner-
back Dwight Brown was sen-
tenced to 30 days in jail for lying
twice to a federal grand jury
investigating the gambling allega-

tions. He was the last of the 1 1
defendants to be sentenced in the
investigation.

The architect of that scheme was
Kevin Pendergast, a former kicker
on the Notre Dame football team,
who drove to Las Vegas to bet
$20,000 on a fixed Northwestern
game (he lost), wound up serving
a short prison sentence, and
agreed to speak out against gam-
bling on behalf of the NCAA.

"To have published point
spreads adds one more temptation,
one more point of pressure on col-
lege athletics,"Pendergast said at a
Capitol Hill press conference last
month.

The NCAA forbids its athletes,
coaches and athletic-department
employees from betting on games.
But in a study released last year by
the University of Michigan, a sur-
vey of 750 male and female stu-
dent-athletes found that 72 percent
had gambled in some form during
their college years. Eighty per-
cent of those who gambled were
male.

"It's something that's real,
something that's probably affected
a lot more people than you real-
ize,"said Dick Davey, men's bas-
ketball coach at Santa Clara.

VOLUME 84, ISSUE 9

Tonic leaves Clarion "Wanting more"

by Keith B. Gwillim

Clarion Call

Lifestyles Editor

On Wednesday, March 29,
major musical acts Tonic and
Earth To Andy showed Clarion
how to rock with their electrify-
ing live show. From 8 to 11, the
tunes were fast and furious, the
guitars were grinding, and the
crowd was captivated.

Although I missed opening act
Earth To Andy, I was informed
by all that their set was truly
impressive. Sporting heavy
alternative rock sensibilities with
an attitude, the relatively
unknown Earth To Andy won
over a considerable amount of
new fans that night. Being an
unknown starting band can be
difficult, as they often face a hos-

tile and unreceptive crowd, but it
seems that Earth To Andy avoid-
ed that curse with their talent and
aggressive playing.

When I arrived on the scene,
Tonic was just about to take the
stage. What was immediately
striking was the minute size of
the crowd, which contrasted
greatly to the packed
Garbage/Lit MTV Campus
Invasion Tour last semester.
Only about 500 fans were gath-
ered in Tippin Gymnasium to
watch the show.

Preferring to stay on the side-
lines for this show, as opposed to
braving the moshers and crowd-
surfers in the front was a wise
decision, as I actually escaped
unscathed from this concert. Not
that there was that much crowd
to avoid, as the main concentra-

tion of people was around the
stage.

Opening with the tuneful hit,
"Open Up Your Eyes", Tonic
showed the crowd that they were
ready to rock, and the small but
enthusiastic crowd showed that
they were ready to hear it. While
I've never been blown away with
Tonic's albums {Lemon Parade,
Sugar), their live show is another
event. Even though they've
probably played larger clubs, that
didn't hinder their enthusiasm
one little iota. Lead guitarist Jeff
Russo ripped into the song with
blistering gusto, and lead singer
Emerson Hart belted out his
vocals as if they were the gospel.
Though at times, Tonic's inten-
sity and spellboundment of the
crowd lapsed (due mainly to
some patchy songs), they were
always able to salvage the
evening. Hits such as "You
Wanted More" (from the
American Pie soundtrack) were
strident pleas that rock is not
dead, and the show closer (not
including the encore), "If You
Could Only See" was just about
as perfect as you could want it. It
certainly had all the couples in
attendance dancing in their own
little love-filled world.

One detraction from the show
was Hart's between-song banter.
At some points, I couldn't tell
whether it was sensitive or
shtick. His explanation of
"IYCOS" was effective, and so
were his closing comments of
"Popular people suck" (I'm para-
phrasing, since he used some
naughty words). However, some
of his sentiments seemed less
like pearls of wisdom, and more
like under-cooked clams. But
I'm nitpicking now. The show's

casual and off-hand nature was
one of it's strongest points, how-
ever. Hart spoke informally to
the crowd, often saying how
much he was enjoying himself, it
created a really warm atmos-
phere. It was less like a concert,
and more like a bunch of friends
hanging out in someone's really

big basement.

All in all, it was an entertaining
performance from one of modern
rock's more enduring and
promising acts. Any show that
has goofy audience sing-a-longs
of "Ohhhh-ahhhhh la laaaa" gets
my support. Love the cowboy

hat, too.

Tonic speaks with the Call

by Jeff Say

Clarion Call

Editor-in-Chief

Tonic's Jeff Russo and
Emerson Hart recently had the
chance to sit down with The
Clarion Call and discuss the
origin of the band, the state of
rock today and just how did they
come up with the name Tonic.

Russo and Hart knew each
other from New York and they
ran into each other in a pool hall
Los Angeles and decided to start
a band. "We just ran into each
other and said how about we get
together and sit down and write
and try and play and see what
happens. We did and that was
nine years ago,", said Russo.

As for the Tonic moniker, they
didn't name themselves after
Tonic water. "It's a musical
term, it means the root chord or
note of any given key," said
Russo, "We used to be called
Radioflyer, but we couldn't use
that name because there was
another band by that name. One
day in rehearsal some one said,
go to the tonic, and we were
like. Tonic'. It just kinda
stuck."

Tonic's hit song 'You wanted
more' first appeared on the
American Pie soundtrack,
Russo said the soundtrack gave
them more exposure since it
gave them the chance to put the
song on two albums, the sound-
track and their new record, as
well. "It was a huge movie so it
definetly afforded us a lot of
exposure," said Russo.

As for their success in the
rock world Russo said that it
was shocking when they first
reached 'rock stardom', "You
never really go in expecting sue
cess," he said.

On today's music scene,
Russo stated, "I really don't
think there is a music scene any
more. There is all these pop
events, as we have dubbed
them. Like Backstreet Boys
Christinia Aguliera and all that.
It doesn't seem to be real hon
est. They're performers and
they do what they do well. I
think that rock 'n' roll will
always have a place. That's
where we come in, we rock
those people."

Tonic went out and did just
that, rock Clarion.

Here's the beef.

People in Clarion get hungry after dinner. In
fact, some people don't eat dinner until late. But,
sometimes, it just isn't worth it.

Why do fast food restaurants stay open late if
they aren't going to serve quality food? People
would rather wait five minutes and get hot food
than cold food and twice baked, greasy fries.

And, why is it that selection is so limited after
9 that you may not get what you want anyway?
That' s not good customer service.

Bottom line: make it to order.
And, why, when a complaint is filed, it is
impossible to get action? You make a complaint
and get promised coupons by mail. Six months
later, they've never arrived.

And people: check the bag BEFORE you pull
through the drive through. The people behind
you can wait. Because when you get home and
don't have the right order, there's nothing you
can do about it. By the time you go back, you'll
be starved.

One last thing. If you are open until midnight,
or 1, then you stay open. You don't turn away the
consumer by closing the door in his/her face.

Bad, bad consumer relations.

But, enough. We're fried.

Your Views

Endorsement paid in full

Dear Editor,

Any Student Senate candidate at Clarion University
of Pennsylvania can purchase an ad through The
Clarion Call, the endorsement that ran in last weeks
Call was purchased by me.

There is an advertisement department and we at
The Call did not give free "space" away. I bought
this advancement at full price just like any other stu-
dent at Clarion University could. Maybe what I did
(buying this advertisement) should have been written
instead as an editorial, but honestly would it have
been as effective?

For those of you who seem to have a problem with
it I will take time out to pacify you and explain why
I did it.

The purpose of the advertisement was for several
reasons. As the Student Senate's number one scruti-
nizer, I don't feel it was wrong for myself or The
Call to say that someone has been extremely proac-
tive for the students causes and has demonstrated
signs of being a solid leader. I have seen throughout
this last semester that this candidate has proven to
possess qualities that benefit Student Senate and the
student body. I also ran the advertisement because

The Call has tried to involve the student body with
not only events on campus but especially this year's
Student Senate Elections.

The Clarion Call is good enough to give away free
"space" though to Student Senate to make it possible
for the candidate's pictures and their platforms to be
printed. Many of you who have gotten all bent out of
shape about my paid advertisement don't realize that
The Call bends over backwards and if it even gets
notices, we certainly don't get a thank-you from the
student body. We try to make this information pub-
lic to you and the rest of the student body. Many peo-
ple do not realize that not only are we losing out on
potential advertisers for this "space" being taken up
but obviously from last year's turn out at Student
Senate elections it is not doing any good. So then I
must ask the question why should we even bother
doing it at all.

Last year only 10 percent of this University's stu-
dents took time to cast a vote in the elections, yet
when you walk past someone on your way to get
food or study at the library, you always hear someone
complaining about what is wrong with the

My Twelve Years at Clarion

After twelve years as an instruc-
tor of Spanish in the Department
of Modern Language at Clarion
University, it is the saddest act of
all to admit that I have come to
question my reasons for being
here. What explains part of he
cause for such a feeling is the fact
that, if I do so in as a sincere and
frank a way as possible, then I
must accept my own complicity in
the process that led and has kept
me here all these years. And what
explains another part is the
knowledge that such an act of
questioning must take into con-
sideration the possibility of years
that may have been lost or wasted
in a span of life that is too short
anyway.

After admitting to all this, I must
confess that I still love teaching.
It is a vital exchange between me
and my students: I try to excite
them with a sense of a new cul-
ture, a different history, all
expressed through a distinct mode
of communication — a language
which is, in effect a set of new
eyes through which to perceive
the universe. They excite me with
a glimpse of the future of which
they will create and which, except
through them, I may (or will)
never see for myself. In addition,
over the years we have been able
to make some important innova-

tions in the department, most
recently in the areas of film cours-
es and distance education. We
may well be able to consider our-
selves a primary source of film
criticism, and, I believe, we are
the first department in the College
of Arts and Sciences to have
availed itself of the opportunities
distance education offers.
According to an agreement first
worked out in this department
with Slippery Rock University,
we are sending them a course in
German Film in exchange for a
course in Russian film. Language
courses in test two languages will
follow, thus returning to German
to Slippery Rock and Russian to
Clarion.

So then, what has brought me to
my saddest of conclusions? The
answer, of course, lies in that
short trajectory between the first
time I climbed the steps of Becht
Hall to be interviewed for a posi-
tion in this department as an assis-
tant professor and my present sta-
tus as chair of that very same
department. The interview took
place during the winter recess of
1987. There had been a break in
the weather, rare for Clarion, and
a May day was erupting all
through the usual grey drudgery

"It is neat to look at this
team now, compared to
how it was in the past."

Jeff Van Stone, Ad Sales Manager

This year's Clarion hockey
team has turned out to be a big
success, and for more than a
couple reasons. This is the first
time ever we had a winning
streak above 500, while also
making the playoffs for the first
time in our history. None of this
could have been done without
the support of our players,
equipment car, and fans.

I would like to thank all the
players on the team for your
hard work and dedication this
season, especially Drew
McWilliams (my little brother),
Bill Evans, and Jeff Hartman for
the great demonstration of lead-
ership qualities both on and off
the ice. Another thanks goes out
to our scorekeeper Amy
Krachkowski for putting in the
time to come out, and help at
our games.

It is neat to look at this team
now, compared to how it was in
the past. The past teams did not
have near the talent or dedica-
tion that this team has displayed.
Heck, we were even noticed by
an NHL team, being the Phoenix
Coyotes. Jeremy Roenick, and
Keith Tkatchuk, both captains

of Phoenix Coyotes, held up our
Clarion hockey shirts.
Reflecting on that, it is amazing
that in the three years since
Drew and I started this team, lit-
tle did we think we would be
noticed by the NHL.

To my good friend's Christian
Vanassa, Dave Woods, and
Andy Boarts, it is a shame that I
probably won't be in Clarion
next year at this time, but I
won't forget all the funny stories
that were told, especially
Christian. (I am always two
months behind you in every-
thing), and the Wick City hang-
out, after the games. To Joe
Nemet who has been a great
goalie for us, and probably the
only goalie around, thanks for
not leaving us to play some-
where else, and the rest of the
team, it has been fun. I hope all
of you players, especially the
young ones (that means you
Jeremy Klescz), can keep this
team going strong. Thank you
all again for all the great memo-
ries. One other point, Drew
thanks for all your help, and for
supporting my tenure as Captain
the last three years.

Commentary

by Keith Gwillim
Lifestyles Ed.

I'd like to start off this week
by clearing some things up.
First, it wasn't my fault that
my column got cut off last
week, but I apologize. As a
result, my picture was not hung
up in a certain sorority's bath-
room, a goal of every single
male on this campus, I'm sure.
You didn't miss much, girls.
Also, I'm incredibly disap-
pointed in my dimwitted phone
pals, who didn't call last
Thursday night. Were you too
busy or something? I spent the
night dancing with sorority
women; what did YOU do?
Lastly, I just want to say that
Wrestlemania sucked. Vince is
a jabroni.

Anyway, I want to complain
about advertisements this
week. It is just me, or are they
more annoying than Gilbert
Gottfried on helium reading
the phone book? (Actually, I
think Bell Atlantic used that
one.) What's worse is that
they're filled with lies. Let me
explain.

The other morning, while in
the shower, I had an epiphany.
I realized that after a year of
courtship, Herbal Essences
shampoo has never once
caused me to orgasm like it
does in the commercials. I
have consistently shiny, clean-
smelling hair that even Hugh
Grant would kill for, but never
once has it brought me to phys-
ical throes of ecstasy. So I
ended my holy union with H.E.
Recently. I've been seeing Pert
Plus, with a few one-morning
stands with Finesse here and
there.

It's not just shampoo com-
mercials that lie, either. My
toothpaste fails to make my
teeth give off a cartoonish
sparkle, and I still can't get a
date with the Noxzema Girl,
despite being a loyal consumer
for years. I even bought a pair
of Gap Cargo Pants, but I still
can't swing-dance like they do
in the ads Maybe I need a
Tech -Vest. 1 don't know. I'm

going to start wearing a 1-800-
Collect keypad on my shirt to
find out two things: (1)
Whether it will make me as
dorky as David Arquette, and
(2), to see if I, too, could get a
girl like Courtney Cox.

And why the hell can't they
make ads about what the prod-
uct really is? What does a
snuggly teddy bear holding a
bouquet of flowers have to do
with toilet paper? Just once I
want to see someone on the
crapper, wiping their butt and
saying "2-ply Pooh-Buster is
the best! My rear is never
chaffed!" Someone call Mr.
Whipple - we've got an emer-
gency. The same goes for
those herpes Valtrex spots.
They show a beautiful woman
scampering on the beach,
laughing with her boyfriend in
the park, and then - BOOM -
"If you experience painful uri-
nation, growths resembling
psychedelic mushrooms, and
genital discharge the color of
Regis Philbin's ties, you may
have herpes." Either that, or
you've eaten too much
Gemmell food.

The only commercials I like
on TV today are the DeBeers
diamond commercials. That
means I'm either a hopeless
romantic, or a total wimp. I'm
going for the romance thing.
In the meantime, I'm young,
virile, sensitive to a woman's
needs, and I have great hair.
Batteries not included, though.

Shout-outs: I want to say
"hey" to Steve and the Rugby
team, 'cause they're really big
and could beat me up. Also,
"wazup" to Kylene (El
Presidente), Christina, Kelly,
Di, Mary Beth, and Katie
(Strange Brew was lots of fun).
Thought For The Week:
"Whatsa happenin', hot stuff?"

- Long Duck Dong, Sixteen
Candles (and the Metzer -

"There's no party here.")

Why I am writing is to urge students
who write to your legislators regarding
state funding for our schools.

At the Board of Student Government
meeting this past weekend, the Presidents
were challenged to initiate a campaign at
our universities to have students draft as
many letters to our home representatives.
We were then urged to present them when
we travel to Harrisburg for State System
Advocacy Day on May 1.

Clarion University Student Senate
members will be drafting letters and have
already gotten the support of several other
departments and organizations to get stu-
dents involved with this advocacy.

The letters will be presented, in person,
to the representatives at meetings sched-
uled for this day.

I would like to add that there ARE rep-
resentatives who have publically
announced their support for the state sys-
tem and its graduates.

The Honorable Peter Dalby II is a grad-

uate of California University and a former
student government president.

The Honorable John A. Lawless is a

of the first days of March. The old wooden frames
and floors of Becht were expanding in the new heat.
And, I a city boy by temperament, training, and reli-
gion, suddenly felt a nostalgia for summer camps I
had hardly known when, during the last days of
spring, the cabins are opened and the musty scent of
wood escapes through the doors and the windows.

In regard to background the members of the depart-
ment seemed as incongruous as the weather itself. I
met four members at the interview that day; they
were from four different countries. Another tenured
member could not make it owing to prior commit-
ments. In addition to them there was one more mem-
ber on tenure track, a full time temp, and a visiting
professor from Argentina, brought to Clarion
through the auspices of the Office of International
Programs. They represented five countries, all in all,
while the department had major programs in French,
German, Russian and Spanish.

That night I was housed in Becht. The scent of
wood permeated the room. My thoughts interwove
themselves around idyllic summer camps and work-
ing in this new department with, as I grasped imme-
diately, its divergences not only of culture but of
temperament. It was exciting, and the possibilities
seemed endless.

And it is here that I sense a cause of my present dis-
illusion. I was hired in a department which I per-
ceived as full of possibilities. Now, twelve years
later after the death of two of my colleagues, retire-
ments and the loss of personnel to other and better
job opportunities, I am chair of a department which,
in effect, has become for me a patient languishing on
a death bed. We now consist of two tenured profes-
sors, one more on tenure track and four full time
temps who come and go each year. The Russian pro-
gram is gone. German only survives as a minor and
this only because of the hard and mostly thankless
work of the French/German professor. The French
and Spanish sections can offer their students little
continuity in their respective programs since, from
one year to the next, there is no guarantee which
temps will stay and which will go.

As an assistant professor, just recently hired, I
could once tell students that, although we were a
small department and our course offerings were not
as diverse as in a larger institution, our faculty would
be involved personally in their academic progress
and achievement. We were there for them. We can
no longer claim even this now. Our course offerings
have further diminished, and we can no longer guar-
antee that the professor who proves to be skillful and
caring advisor this year will be back next year — they
are all temps.

The first years at Clarion did not prove surprising
to me. I could sense from my first interview that
there was strife within the department itself and dis-
agreement with the administration on certain issues.
My instincts were right on target. Based on a gamut
of reasons from cultural misunderstandings to simple
professional jealousy, there were major problems
between the different sections of the department.
Furthermore, there was no love lost between the fac-
ulty of the entire university and the president at that
time. But all these issues, so common to any uni-
versity, seemed to work themselves out on a more
personal basis. Within the department one's enemies
made no bones about their feelings. And the faculty

normally had little doubly as to who within the
administration was responsible for any given policy
with which they were in disagreement.

At some point, however, this element of the per-
sonal began to diminish until now, as far as I can see,
it is lost. And I don't know exactly where it got lost,
though I do feel that perhaps I and other members of
the faculty did perceive the first symptoms and
should have done something (though I can't say
what) to prevent ourselves from becoming mere fol-
lowers of directives handed down from "above"
without our having much, or any, input into their for-
mulation. One incident does stand out clearly in my
mind because it affected me directly. At the strategic
planning sessions which marked the beginning of
President's Reinhard's administration, the entire uni-
versity community decided mutually on a list of
what would define our mission into the future in
terms of our students, academic achievement, and
community commitment. One of these objectives
was to search for a new director of our international
program. I, who had recently returned from direct-
ing a Fulbright-Hayes Grant Program in Argentina,
was elected to chair the search committee. At the
first meeting, no sooner had we sat down to discuss
our plans when it was announced that the goal of the
committee was now to study the "need" for a direc-
tor of the program. The indignation of the commit-
tee was obvious. But subsequently there were no
demands for forthcoming as to who had changed the
objective or why. We studied the "need" when we all
knew that during the tenure of our previous director,
our foreign student population was growing, more
and more of our own students were studying abroad,
as were a respectable number of faculty. Discussions
concerning cultural diversity or speakers in this area
easily filled any activity room in which they were
held. Now, despite the efforts of those involved in
the international programming, Clarion is anything
but the university it could have been in this area. As
far as the committee was concerned, the "need" was
studied, reports were made, no one cared, no one lis-
tened. More directives came down; I eventually
quit.

Mention of the fact that we have held discussions
— numerous discussions — with the administration
brings to mind what I find to be the saddest ironies:
The more we discuss, the more depersonalized the
atmosphere seems to become — trust actually seems
to diminish. Right now, I understand that top priori-
ty is to be given assuring that students graduate in
four years. This is openly discussed. But each time
the different academic departments submit schedules
for the academic year, we find that sections can't be
opened, professors on sabbatical leave cannot be
replaced. Why? With whom we discuss this? With
no one; there's just no money in the budget. Well,
what about the money for all the new building pro-
jects? Oh, that's different allocation. Can't it be
reallocated? It's already been allocated. Who can
we discuss that with? No one; it's too late. Oh!

"Discussions" are also being held on raising the
student population to 7,000 or so. Nothing however
goes beyond the circles described above about the
fact that the number of professors is going down and
will continue to go down through retirement and
attrition in general. No one knows about that, or

what can be done, or is responsible or with whom we should talk it over. No administrator seems to have an answer; no faculty member will publicly
ask the questions or, at least, insist that the questions be asked and answered. It's as though we have all fallen through the looking glass: The Mad
Hatter is in charge of logic, while the Queen of Hearts wonders what head to use next in her game of croquet. In the meantime we all smile our pub-
lic smile at each other: How are you doing? Fine. And you? Fine...

And while our academic lives become more depersonalized. A culture thus sets in of accepting what happens, looking out for your own, and who
knows, maybe taking advantage of another's misfortune. Hey, the department of so and so just lost of one of its offices! Maybe we can snatch it up
for ourselves!

Where has this left us in Modern Languages? For schools our size, we have the weakest department in the entire SSHE system, with he fewest tenured
or tenured track professors and the fewest languages being offered. Our offices have been broken into twice in the last year, without our knowledge —
obviously — much less our consent; once to install rugs we hadn't asked for and once to break down doorways between the offices — doors some one
else probably requested. But who knows who? And who knows why? In both cases student confidentiality was compromised, and I am told that main-
tenance did it. Well, of course, maintenance did it, duh! But who told them to do it? Who will take the responsibility? Our Dean and Associate Dean
didn't even know about it.

Our secretary retired at the beginning of last semester. I didn't know whether I would get a replacement until the day the replacement appeared. She
is a temp. And every three months or so I have to explain why 1 need her. Why? Why don't we have a permanent secretary? No money? The
University doesn't want to pay health benefits to permanent hire? No one knows. But there's money for building... Yes, but that's a different alloca-
tion. We get new mulch every spring. That's also a different allocation. As of now, we will have a half time permanent secretary some time after we
move to Davis. In the meantime, our temp waits practically from week to week to see if she will be kept on until the summer. The issue was decided
at the last minute once again, and our temp will stay on until the end of the semester.

The worst of all this for me occurred to weeks ago while sitting in the Loomis with other colleagues. I have become more obsessed about the whole
issue and was soon complaining one more time. Well, we all were. We all feel the depersonalization, the anonymity, the idea that there is a handwrit-
ing on the wall which then moves on... leaving us holding the bag, or the paint brushes. In the middle of all the complaining — the useless complain-
ing — I stepped out of myself so to speak. There was a young colleague at my side looking somewhat uncomfortable about it all. I turned to her and
declared that this must be boring to listen to. I was serious. And she answered, "yes," she was serious too. It was all terribly boring; the little depart-
mental horror stories of break-ins, the complaining about sections that were closed or never opened. I was entirely bored with it and with myself. It
was all a bore and I had become a bore, but oddly enough, a not so unhap-
py bore. I mean when it comes to sellings one's principles in the course of
growing up and growing old, I am not the cleanest little camper sitting
around the old camp fire, but on the hand, I may not be the sootiest either.
I can still write an occasional silly column like this. And you

way of putting out another plea to
encourage students to make a dif-
ference or a change at their
University.

I was simply trying to tell you
that even if you didn't like my
choice of who to vote for, go vote.
Vote for someone else if you don't

qualified.

For God's sake relax, no one
pulled the wool over your eyes.
My point, like the rest of the events
that have been made known

is that if one person sees the adver-

then my money was well spent.

Student Senate sponsors "Meet the Candidates" Open Forum

by Jeff Say

Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief

and A. A. Thompson

Clarion Call
Assistant News Editor

The Student Senate Open Forum,
held on Monday, April 3, 2000, in
the Gemmell Multi-purpose Room,
received a greater turnout with 70
students in attendance.

Lack of student body participation
resulted in the cancellation of the
forum last Tuesday. The forum was
developed three years ago to intro-
duce candidates and give them a
chance to voice their platforms and
opinions.

The forum was mediated by Dr.
Anand Rao, associate professor of
Speech Communication and
Theatre.

Candidates began the forum with
their opening speeches, which could
entail anything from their platform
to basic information about them-
selves.

Following the opening speeches,
students addressed issues concern-
ing the campus and student body.
Students also questioned the creden-
tials of the candidates.

The opening question was directed
toward current Student Senate
Treasurer, Brian Sowa. Sowa was
asked what his biggest accomplish-

Student Senate

ment has been in Senate thus far.
Sowa responded by saying he could
not narrow it down to just one
accomplishment. His accomplish-
ments include the Activity Fee rates,
the Computer Policy, the
Transportation Policy, and working
with President Diane Reinhard on
various projects.

Another question which was
directed toward first time candi-
dates, concerned whether or not they
thought this year's Student Senate
had done a good job with recent
issues, and if there was anything
they would change.

The first person to respond to that
question was candidate Andrew
Barnes, Political Science major. He
said that this year's Student Senate
had done a good job, but he felt that
they had failed to focus on a vision
for the future and on what they
could become.

Candidate John Shulvulsky said
that Senate had done a fine job but
he felt that they needed more repre-
sentation from the administration.
He pointed out that there was no
administration in attendance at the
forum, only students.

Candidate Iyana Tennon respond-
ed by saying that they needed more
results with the parking situation.

Candidates were asked whether or

not they would be student teaching
during there tenure, and if they were
aware that they had to student teach
within a 15 mile radius.

Current Senator Brian Marley, the
only candidate who answered, said
that he had spoken with the Dean of
Education and worked out a plan so
that he would be in the allowed
radius. He further said that he
would be able to budget his time
accordingly.

Greek candidates were questioned
as to whether or not they would be
willing to place Senate above their
sorority or fraternity. Current
Senator Ben Chervenak said that he
was an example of somebody who
does put Senate above his fraternity.
Chervenak said that he hadn't
attended any Greek week festivities
due to Senate obligations. He said
that the 6,000 students he is repre-
senting must take precedence over
the other 30 men in his fraternity.

Candidates were asked how they
planned to work with each other
next year after all of the tension that
has taken place during this year's
campaigning.

Candidates Tia Diggs, David
Snyder and Melissa Gring all felt
that any of the candidates would be
able to work together next year,
despite the tension. Melissa Gring

said that in any election tension can ment that the university's jurisdic-
be expected, especially since there tion should not be in punishing off-
are 20 positions to be filled and only campus behavior.

Student Senate Candidate Andrew Barnes disucsses his plat-
form during the "Meet the Candidates" Open Forum,
Monday, April3 at 8:30 p.m. in the Gemmell Multi-Purpose
Room.

23 candidates.

A question concerning the recent
stabbing and the formation of the
Advance Team was asked. The
question was whether or not the can-
didates thought the University
should be able to punish off-campus
students for bad behavior.

Candidates, Andrew Barnes, Erika
Pidro, David Snyder, Ryan Peffer
and Brian Sowa were all in agree-

Certain candidates were unable to
attend the forum due to prior com-
mitments. Those candidates were
Tom Clopp, Michael Davis and Bill
Isbir.

Voting took place this week and
the results will be in next week's
edition of The Clarion Call.

Student Senate would like to thank
those students who supported the
forum.

BSGP highlights unity through community

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

The Board of Student Government Presidents (BSGP)
from the State System of Higher Education met in
Harrishurg at the Dixon University System for its third
meeting of the 1999-2000 year.

Chancellor James McCormiek provided opening remarks
regarding the strength of the state system and urged the
students to support the state system after graduation.

The Board discussed the issue of the year, "Unity
Through Community," and set standards of implementa-
tion for carrying out this action.

Clarion University Student Senate President Leslie Suhr
said, "We want this to be more of a proactive approach for
the Board across the State System instead of remaining
passive."

Some ideas included Community Outreach programs,
community picnics, toy and clothing drives, and outdoor
work for the elderly.

A more formal evaluation of the issue of the year was dis-
cussed and more detailed plans will be worked through at
the April meeting at East Stroudsburg University.

The Issue of the Year was selected at the BSGP meeting
at Clarion in November. The purpose of selecting an issue
is for the Board to bond together and recognize the need
for commitment on a certain dilemma across the state sys-
tem.

The Board will also be compiling a book of best practices
from the 14 State System Schools . Universities will sub-
mit material from projects that have been successful at
other institutions. Each school will receive a copy and will
update it with new projects throughout the year.

In other news. Ed Nolan of the Chancellor's Office urged

students to come out for Advocacy Day at the State Capital
on Monday, May 1, to urge legislators to support the State
System's appropriations request for monetary funding.

"This is our way of urging our legislature to support our
needs. Members from Senate will be sending representa-
tives for Advocay Day to meet with state government,"
said President Suhr.

Students, alumni, trustees, and faculty will be invited to

Board of Student
Government Presidents

meet with legislators to express concern for the proposed
budget. The Board of Student Government Presidents will
be gathering letters from their respective schools to present
to legislators in Harrisburg.

"I am impressed to see The System challenge the
Universities to write as many letters as possible to repre-
sentatives in support of the Appropriations Request," said
Vice President of Student Senate Amy Moeslein. "I hope
that The State System Schools support this effort."

At the Business meeting of the BSGP, Parliamentarian
Bud White of Edinboro University presented the amend-
ments to the Constitution and reviewed the changes.

These amendments will be voted on at an April meeting.

In other business, student representatives from the Board
of Governors announced that all three student positions
will be open due to graduation. To apply, students must be
current or past Presidents of their respective universities,
and must submit a resume and interview with the Board.

Their hope is to have these positions filled by
Wednesday, May 10.

University Student Government reports followed. These
were some of the actions being taken at the Universities in
The State System of Higher Education.

California University is undergoing its Middle States
Evaluation for its accreditation. They are working on-line
for class registration and financial aid consultations within
the system.

Edinboro University is working on preparations for a
shuttle service. Their food services contract is also under
negotiation.

Millersville University is challenging an amendment by
the Administration to change the Drop/ Add period from
two weeks to one week.

And Slippery Rock University Student Government is
opposing the Administration on limiting the number of
athletes that can participate in sports. Student

Government Association President, Clayton Wukich said
that efforts to achieve naming rights for the Recreational
Center failed.

Student Senate Treasurer Brian Sowa said, "It is nice to
realize that Clarion isn't the only University experiencing
certain problems. Going to BSGP's is helpful to all of the
State System of Higher Education Schools who do experi-
ence the same problems and by getting together we are all
able to work as a team and find solutions."

Fate of Venango snack bar discussed

by Jeff Say
Clarion Call Editor-in-Chief

>••••••<

»•••••■

Clarion Students' Association
(CSA) Board of Directors dis-
cussed the fate of the Snack Bar
at Venango campus at their
Tuesday, April 4, meeting.

The snack bar at Venango is not
operating within CSA guidelines.
The Board recommended that a
Venango representative should
attend the next Board meeting on
Tuesday, April 18.

The Venango Student Senate
had begun accepting bids for a
new snack bar supplier. There is
a process that they should go
through for bids. They haven't
had any contact with the CSA
Business Manager, Lee Krull.

The Gemmell Coffee Shop
Committee co-chairs, Leslie Suhr
and Brian Sowa, announced that
the furniture will be delivered on
Tuesday, April 17.

Board member Brian Sowa said,
"We are really excited to get the
rest of the furniture. Many stu-
dents have already expressed

their satisfaction with the deliv-
ered furniture."

A sound system is being consid-
ered for music and events that
may be held in the Coffee Shop.
The University Activities Board
(UAB) sound system will be used
for lectures and specialty series
because their equipment has a

faction with the deliv-
ered furniture., §§

-Brian Sowa

"The addition of a television
and computers will greatly
enhance student interest," Sowa
said. "I think it will help the
atmosphere as well."

A Grand Opening for the
Coffee Shop was discussed. The
opening would consist of speak-

ers, poetry, original art-work, and
musical performance.

The Coffee Cart in the Coffee
Shop was also discussed during
the meeting. The Board ques-
tioned if the inclusion of hot dogs
in a Coffee Shop would detract to
the atmosphere. They also dis-
cussed the signs promoting the
hot dog sales and asked who has
the authority to remove these
signs.

The Audit Committee met last
week and a response to the
Auditor General was written. The
response was voted on and passed
6-0- I .

In other business, it was dis-
cussed that the Athletics
Concession Operation could pos-
sibly be handled by the Clarion
University Foundation.

"If the money ends up there
anyway, why are we using
resources to essentially be a
bank?", said Sowa.

The next Board meeting will be
held Tuesday, April 18, in room
248 in 'the Gemmell Student
Center.

Elementary students and college students become buddies

by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Roughly ninety Clarion
University o\' Pennsylvania
students, enrolled in Sonja
Hawkins' Elementary

Education course, were recent-
ly visited by their "Journal
Buddies."

Over 100 second and third
graders, taught by Patty Dean,
Dells Kurtzhals, Shawnee
O'Hara, Dick Sacolic, Sue
Carlson, and Missy Bingham
at Clarion Elementary School,
participate in the University's
"Journal Buddies" program,
headed by Hawkins.

Approximately once a week,
since the beginning of the
semester, the elementary stu-
dents and college students cor-

respond in journal format.

According to Hawkins, this
program gives her students the
opportunity to learn how to
communicate and to familiar-
ize themselves with the way
elementary students write,
spell, and express their
thoughts.

She said, "What I hear back
in reports from my students, is
that it's a valuable experience
in that it gives them a chance
to contact and get to know a
real elementary student."

The elementary students are
given the opportunity to inter-
act with an adult. According to
Patty Dean, the "Journal
Buddies" program is the high-
light of the second grade
school year.

It is a new experience for ele-
mentary students in the fall,
and they look forward to corre-
sponding through journals
again in the spring.

She said, "It really brings the
university and the public-
schools together." The partici-

pants recently met their
"Journal Buddies" on campus,
completed a learning activity,
and had lunch together at
Chandler Dining Hall.

The second graders received
a tour of the recreation center,
which was conducted by Dave
Fagan from facilities planning
at Clarion University, volun-
teers Lori Sabatose, Interim
director of the recreation cen-
ter, Kathi Fagan and Kelsey
Fagan as well as several recre-
ation center student workers.

Prior to the tour, Dave Fagan
had visited the elementary
school to explain the construc-
tion of the recreation center.
He spoke about how the center
was built, and showed the stu-
dents pre-construction photos.

On the day of the tour, Fagan
showed the students the fin-
ished product and gave them a
chance to explore various areas
of the facility.

He said, "I'm just glad we, as
a University, could be of ser-
vice to the elementary school."

Sabatose, who demonstrated
a tennis lesson, with team
members Brandy and Brooke
Vukich, said, "The Clarion
Recreation Center thoroughly
enjoys working with
the community even though
it's a student rec. center built
by student fees."

She also said, "...The time

the elementary students came
was not peak time for
University students so we were
glad to welcome them."

As long as the community
members do not interfere with
the college students, they are
always welcome at the recre-
ation center.

The whole tour seems to have
run smoothly. After it was
completed, the children were
given some time to play on the
gym floors and run on the
indoor track.

One student worker who vol-
unteered with the tour, Mark
Trzyna, a senior marketing
major, said, "It was nice to
hear three or four kids at the
end of the tour thank me,
because they had fun."

The $7.1 million student
recreation center opened on
October 25, 1999.

The 48 square foot, two-level
center contains three multi-sur-
face basketball courts, which

Fraternity ordered to cease operations

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor

The Alpha Chi Rho (AXP)
Fraternity also known as the
"Crows" at Clarion University
was ordered by its national head-
quarters to cease all operations at
its local chapter.

The Clarion university
Interfraternity Council concurred
with the decision.

The decision to cease active
membership of the fraternity
came on Thursday, March 23,
from national headquarter repre-
sentatives.

The result came from actions
that resulted from an illegal party
where a person from the outside
University community gained
entrance to the party.

Matthew P. Clapper, 25, of 49
North Fourth Avenue, Clarion, is
accused of stabbing AXP fraterni-
ty members Michael Vislay, 21,
and Jeremiah Earnheardt, 23.

Clapper was arraigned on two
counts of attempted homicide,
reckless endangerment, aggravat-
ed assault, and simple assault, and
remains in jail on $100,000 bond.

Thompson's Tips

According to John Masso, AXP
director of marketing and expan-
sion, the reasons for revoking
colony status, included violation
of risk management guidelines
more than once and failure to
make continued progress to reach
the goal of a full chapter status.

Last semester, a weapon was
fired within the vicinity of the
house by an outsider who was
attending the meeting.

The Alpha Chi Rho Fraternity
has been at a colony status for
approximately three years. The
group was created to replace a
failing AXP chapter that had only
three active members in 1996.

There was also a push since
December for members to com-
plete the work necessary to be
granted full chapter status by their
national headquarters.

Interfraternity Council also said
that the fraternity has been failing
to attend Interfraternity Council
meetings.

According to fraternity insur-
ance purchasing guidelines, any
alcohol distribution must comply
with state and local laws.

No alcohol can be purchased fraternity,

Garrett Fabian/The Clarion Call

The Alpha Chi Rho house is located on Fifth Avenue. Colony
status for the fraternity was revoked recently because of a
violation of risk management guidelines and a failure to con-
tinue progress in order to reach full chapter status.

According to Dr. John membership on campus,"

Postlewait, Interfraternity

Council Advisor, IFC concurred
with the decision because of
numerous violations that with the

Postlewait said.

"For recognition to occur, our
office would need to contact
national headquarters for that rec-

ommendation," he said.

Postlewait also said that the fra-
ternity has not attended IFC func-
tions and roster lists, executive
board names, and grade point
averages have not been provided.

Postlewait said that a fraternity
is held responsible for incidents
that occur with outsiders when it
does not comply with fraternity
insurance purchasing guidelines
and guest lists are not used for
entrance.

Clarion University President Dr.
Diane L. Reinhard referred com-
ments about the decision to Dr.
George Curtis, Vice President for
Student Affairs.

Dr. George Curtis said,
"Nationals did a reasonable job of
assessing the activites of the
group and their decision with the
fraternity has given us no reason
to disagree with the decisions of
nationals."

As of The Clarion Call dead-
line, members of the AXP frater-
nity were not able to be reached
for comment.

Brush up on your basic tooth care

by A. A. Thompson
Clarion Call Assistant News Editor

In today's world with people's busy lives, it is easy to see how
toothcare can be overlooked. It never hurts, however, to brush up on
some basics.
To begin, make sure you are brushing properly.
* Using a soft toothbrush tilted at a 45 degree angle, brush the
outsides of the front teeth in a back and forth manner.

* Progress to the outside back teeth and don't neglect the gumline.

* Continue to brush by moving to the insides of the back and front
teeth. When brushing the inside front teeth, use a vertical motion.

* Complete brushing by covering the surfaces of the teeth.

The next basic practice one can

do is flossing. Use about 18" of
floss and remember to use a new
section of floss as you go between
each tooth. Also, guide the floss
away from the gumline.

Confidential Care No Income Guidhnes

Rinsing your mouth with a tarter control mouthwash is rec-
ommended as well.

Visit your dentist every six months. When you visit the
dentist it is more than a simple cleaning. Your dentist or
hygienist removes plaque, tartar and any stains from your
teeth.

Often times, your health care professional will check your
mouth for gum inflammation, irregularities in alignment,
cancer of the mouth, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

"If a person visits their dentist regularly, which is twice a
year, when they do need a dental procedure done, it will be
minor," said Shayne FawceU, dental assistant for tweleve
years and now an office manager for Dr. Donald Lavely,
D.M.D.

If some of these dental practices are ignored, the result may
be cavities or gum disease.

Cavities form when acids from certain foods, such as sug-
ary snacks, break down tooth enamel. You don't have to
avoid sugary foods altogether, just brush more frequently if
you do eat them. Also, eating sugary foods with your meal instead of sep-
arately is better.

Plaque and tarter are only removed by your dentist or hygienist. If unre-
moved, plaque can turn into gingivitis, a form of gum disease.

Tarter (also known as calculus), forms from the combination of saliva
and plaque. Tarter is a hard deposit that makes the removal of plaque dif-
ficult.

The important thing to remember is that all problems can be avoided by
practicing daily tooth care habits, and by seeing your Dentist or hygienist
twice a year.

"Isadora Duncan" closes out the CUP Theatre season

Story courtesy of
University Relations

"Isadora Duncan Sleeps with the
Russian Navy," a spirited comedy,
will conclude the Clarion University
of Pennsylvania 1999-2000 theatre
season with performances April 11-
15 at 8 p.m. in the Marwick-Boyd
Little Theatre.

Wanshel, portrays the life of famed
dancer and social revolutionary
Isadora Duncan, not as it was, but as
Hollywood producers would have
liked it to be.

'This is a raucous comedy to end a
somewhat serious season of plays,"
says director Bob Levy, assistant pro-
fessor of speech communication and

Laura Reichert as Isadora Duncan provides inspiration to
author Trevor Southworth in the CU theatre production of
"Isadora Duncan Sleeps with the Russian Navy."

Tickets for the play are $7 for adults,
$5 for children, and free to Clarion
University students with valid identi-
fication cards. Contact 814-226-
2284 for additional ticket informa-
tion.

"Isadora Duncan...," by Jeff

theatre. "It posts the challenge of
multiple characters with multiple
accents, requiring the actors to
change character quickly. It is broad
based sketch comedy, something we
haven't done at Clarion for a long
time."

The play centers around a belea-

guered Hollywood screen writer
given the assignment of writing a film
biography of Isadora Duncan that is
acceptable to an audience that flocks
to films about action and sex. His
unfolding efforts, while trying to
remain true to Duncan's life and
ideals, are the focus of the play.

"The play has its inspiration in early
1970's Hollywood, when two com-
peting film biographies of Isadora
Duncan were produced. One even
changed its title to appear to be 'sexi-
er'," explains Levy. "The play also
centers on Hollywood's obsession
with sex and the fact that what we see
in the movies has little to do with real
life."

Isadora Duncan (1878-1927), how-
ever, was real. A free thinking, social
liberal, she was a developer of mod-
ern dance. She led a controversial
life, bearing two illegitimate children
by two different fathers, losing her
American citizenship for work in
Russia, and dying a spectacular death
on the French Riviera. In the course
of her life, she made contact with the
great thinkers, artists, and politicians
of her time, most of whom show up
in the play.

'This is like an old Hollywood epic
with a cast of thousands, but there are
only 14 people in the cast," says
Levy. 'This can make the play a
logistical nightmare to stage." Eleven
of the actors have multiple roles,
some as many as four or five, along
with the necessary costume changes."

"Isadora Duncan Sleeps with the
Russian Navy" also faces challenges
on the technical side of the produc-
tion. It is underscored throughout by
piano music, much like a movie. The
music ranges from Beethoven and
Chopin to French impressionist, to
"The Battle Hymn of the Republic"
and other patriotic tunes. The lighting
is as complex as that in a major musi-
cal. Research was conducted into
various styles of dance because there
is constant dance-like movement
throughout the play.

"Due to language and a central char-
acter who was a proponent of free

love, this show may not be suitable
for children," says Levy. "It is a very
funny show with some very serious
underpinnings. We all go to the
movies and loo many of us take what
we see as the truth. As we get further
removed from the actual event, the
popular myth becomes history. This
play is about the creation of that
myth."

"Isadora Duncan Sleeps with the
Russian Navy" was developed at the
Eugene O'Neil Memorial

Playwriting Center with its first full
production by the Playmakers
Repertory Company, Chapel Hill,
N.C. Major changes were made in
the play at that time prior to its per-
formances at the American Place
Theatre in New York City.

The cast includes:

I^aura Reichert as Isadora Duncan,
Trevor Southworth as the author,
Casey Robert Bowser as the produc-
er, and Jeff Chaffee as the Narrator
and the Voice of the Conglomerate.

Pro wrestling is exposed in new film

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Pro wrestling is as American
as apple pie laced with
cyanide. It's a billion dollar
industry centered on a high-
impact hybrid of athleticism
and angst. Its followers are
fiercely loyal, often devoted to
the point of obsession, devel-
oping bonds with their favorite
performers that outdistance
even the fanaticism shown
towards football and basket-
ball players.

Director Barry Blaustein
(The Nutty Professor) has been
captivated by wrestling since
he was a child. Three years
ago he decided to chronicle the
sport by following the lives of
several wrestling superstars
from the past and present, as
well as a few who are still hop-
ing for their big break. The
result was Beyond The Mat,
the most honest and respectful
movie ever made about profes-
sional wrestling and one of the
best films I've seen this year.

Unlike 1998's Hitman Hart:
Wrestling with Shadows,
another above average
wrestling documentary that
didn't receive a wide
American release, Blaustein
doesn't allow his film to

degenerate into simple hero
worship. Blaustein rips away
the superhero myth that sur-
rounds wrestling legends Terry
Funk, Jake "The Snake"
Roberts, and Mick Foley in
order to expose the physical
and emotional pain they expe-
rience every day of their lives.
Funk and Foley, who are actu-
ally close friends outside of
the ring, are revealed to be a
pair of devoted family men
whose children can't quite
understand why their fathers
choose to put their bodies on
the line in brutal matches.
However, Robert's descent
into drug addiction is the most
disturbing part of the film,
especially to those of us who
grew up watching him in the
ring.

The movie mainly follows
three pivotal events in the
lives of its protagonists. First,
53-year old Funk, in the twi-
light of his career, wrestles for
the world heavyweight title at
Extreme Championship

Wrestling's first Pay-Per View,
Barely Legal. Second,

Roberts, a man whom fate has
dealt numerous bad hands,
tries desperately to put the
demons of his past behind him
when he meets with his
estranged daughter. Third,

WWF champion Foley steps
into the ring for the biggest
match of his career, an "I
Quit" match against the #1
contender The Rock.

Blaustein expertly captures the
glory of Funk's title victory,

where "The Snake" and his view with wrestler Spike
father shovel leaves together, Dudley, a former third grade

the other, are as tense and

ence as they must have been

McMahon in a bad light.
McMahon is shown as a busi-
nessman, first and foremost.
The movie also helps to make
some of his business deci-
sions, such as which underde-
veloped talent to put under
contract and which to ignore,
seem more understandable.
On the other hand, a segment
with Darrin Drozdov, whom
McMahon gave the unfortu-
nate moniker "Puke", is
enough to make audiences
realize that McMahon's mar-
keting flops are sometimes as
strangely memorable as his
successes.

Ignore the ad campaign.
Beyond The Mat isn't just "the
film Vince McMahon doesn't
want you to see." It's a heart-
felt film that even the most
casual wrestling fan can take
inspiration from. To make a
long story short, Beyond The
Mat is more than just a show-
stopper, it's the whole f'n
show. And that's the bottom

line, if ya smell. ..what the crit-

Matt Johnson explores his dark heart with new disc

by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

The subway whistle attacks
the night's silence like an
assailant from some horror
film. You step off the train and
into the cold, gray and damp
evening, avoiding the bloated
rat munching on God-knows-
what on the cracked pavement.

The station is deserted; just
you and the crinkle of empty
candy wrappers blown by the
departing subway. The smell is
of stale coffee and decaying
food of all manner.
Sidestepping the discarded
newspaper screaming tales of
war and abuse, you quicken
your step as nervousness

creeps up on you, coating your
skin with a thin film of sweat,
despite the chill in the air. You
sense someone, some thing fol-
lowing you. As you break into
a sprint, your foot catches on a
wide gap in the grimy cement.
Whipping your head around,
you turn and face the horror
of.. ..your inner self.

Such is the picture painted by
the opening cut (well, every
single other cut, too) on The
The's new disc, NakedSelf.
The project of frontman Matt
Johnson, The The slink back
with their first full album of
original material in seven
years. There has been a long
tradition of bands that love to
be miserable in rock (Joy
Division, Nine Inch Nails) and
The The has been one of the
finest of that pantheon.

The whole album sounds like
it is in a perpetual state of
decay, with random and disso-
nant sound effects, moody and
feedback-heavy guitars, throb-
bing drums, and Johnson's own
pain-weathered whisper/croon.
After a two-minute buildup of
disturbing mechanical howls
and muffled riffs,

"BoilingPoint" kicks in with a
foreboding funeral procession
of drums and Johnson's
increasingly frantic and loud
vocals. He tells of callousness
and carelessness in the city as
he sings "So best pretend to be
asleep in case you have to give
up your seat to anyone less for-
tunate."

After that "roots rock meets
industrial" tune, wearily
strummed fo!k-y guitars intro-
duce the "ShrunkenMan."
Describing the insecurity that
lies deep inside even the most
confident of people,

"ShrunkenMan" is a haunting
character sketch; what Trent
Reznor would write if he lis-
tened to Neil Young.

NakedSelf only gets more
impressive from there.
"TheWhisperers" contains
actual hooks within its smoggy
exterior, and Johnson switches
from a breathy moan to a
eunuch-like wail like a light
switch goes on and off. Yet
another character sketch of a
woman stabbed in the back by
the people she trusted,
"TheWhisperers" contains
glimpses of actual hope deep
inside. "There's one thing in

life that holds; your on your
own," seems to be saying that
goodness lies within yourself.
Much like the cover of the
album, I'm sure listening is
enhanced by sitting in a bare
room with only a naked light
bulb to cast ghostly shadows.

On the nex! cuts,
"SoulCatcher" and

"Globalises. " Johnson keeps
the bad times c >min'.
"SoulCatcher" tells of
Johnson's fear of aging framed
by a mournful guitar strum. I
defy anyone to find more
inspired lyrics in pop today
than "But trapped inside my
bones; fear, desire and hope are
on fire; and will expand like
smoke and fall down like rain."
"GlobalEyes" stumbles slight-
ly (but not much) with
Johnson's pseudo-rap about the
emptiness of commerce.

Nothing can prepare you for
the album's most heartbreaking
and hopeful song, though.
"DecemberSunlight" is a state-
ly and majestic tale of finding
the strength to go on. With
lines like "...each teardrop that
rolled down her face would
represent a day of pain for him.
But now she's changing the
way she feels about wasting
her time and tears," Johnson
challenges even earlier classics
of his, such as "Slow Emotion
Replay" from 1993's Dusk. I
advise anyone who has recent-
ly experienced a break-up to
listen to this song. ..over and
over and over.

The only problem is, after
that slice of perfection, the rest
of the album severely dips, and
I mean severely. Johnson
attempts hard rocking and evil-
sounding songs that he could-
n't have pulled off when he
was 25, let alone now. The
lyrics fall into cliches, or just
come across as pathetic.
Johnson advises in the album,
"Shut your eyes - don't criti-
cize.." but it's hard not to. It
may be best to think of
NakedSelf as two separate EPs,
not one album. So in that light.
Naked gets an undisputed 5 out
of 5, while Self is languishing
in a slime-filled pit with only I
out of 5 stars. Basically,
NakedSelf makes you long for
his earlier albums. I quote
from the semi-decent

"WeatherBelle," "Nostalgia
strikes hard at the heart that

can't escape from its past."

Fill out the census and win a bureaucracy

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer

Unless you are hiding in a drain
pipe, by now you should have
received your census question-
naire from the federal govern-
ment.

The census is a federal tradition

dating back to 1790, when
President Washington ordered all
citizens to form a line and count
off by ones, thus establishing
that the U.S. population at that
time was "eleventeen." In mod-
ern times, the census is taken by
the Census Bureau every 10
years, as required by the

Constitution. (For the other nine
years, the Census Bureau
employees play pinochle while
remaining on Red Alert, in case
the Constitution suddenly
changes.)

How important is the census to
us today? Here's a quote from a
letter my household received

from Kenneth Prewitt, director
of the Census Bureau:

"Huwag ninyong sasugutin ang
Inggles na form na inyong
tatanggapin sa koreo."

I did not make this quote up.
More than half of Mr. Prewitt's
letter to my household is written

in various foreign languages. As
far as I can tell, in this particular
quote Mr. Prewitt is saying :
"Anybody who gets sausage and
eggs on the census form will end
up (something bad) in South
Korea." This is not a threat that
the federal government makes
lightly.

Why is the census so impor-
tant? For one thing, it enables
the government to locate its citi-
zens so it can administer pro-
grams to them. The census also
determines our congressional
representation, which is very
important. For example, in the
1990 census, a homeowner
named Ward A. Fr.ondlinger Jr. of
Lawrence, Kan., left his census
out on the dining room table, and
unbeknownst to him, his children
filled it out and mailed it in, with
the information that his house-
hold had 984 million members.
Today, the Frond lingers are per-
sonally represented by 12 con-
gresspersons and five U.S. sena-
tors, and they have their own
naval base.

Contrast their situation with
that of North Dakota, which,
because of poor participation
with the 1990 census, wound up
reporting that it had a total of
only seven residents (the actual
number is believed to be much
closer to nine). As a result, today
North Dakota has zero represen-
tatives in Congress and may no
longer even be part of the United
States. (Somebody should go up
there and check.)

So the "bottom line" is that it is
in your best interest, as a citizen,
to fill out your census form.

Here's some information to help
you:

Q: What kinds of questions
does the census form ask?

A: Most citizens will receive
the short form, which asks you
only for basic information that
the government needs to admin-
ister programs to you, such as
your name, age, sex, race, weight
and whether or not you wear
thong underwear.

Q: What if I get the long form?

A: You had better know some-
thing about calculus.

Q: Is my census information
confidential?

A: Absolutely. Nobody is
allowed to see your personal cen-
sus form except federal employ-
ees and their friends.

Q: What are my choices
regarding my race?

A: You may choose from any
of the following federally
approved races: Black, White,
Beige, Blush, Bisque, Asian,
Latino, Caucasian, Person of
Color, African-American, Native
American Indian, Spaniard,
Original Hawaiian, Hispano-
African-Alaskan Native Indian,
Ohioan, Native Hawaiian
Tourist, Munchkin, Italian
Samoan, Wisenheimer and
Presbyterian. Or, if you prefer,
you may invent your own race,
and the government will create a
large bureaucracy to keep track
of you.

Q: Why'does the government
need this information?

A: That is none of your busi-
ness.

Q: I have an imaginary friend
named Mr. Wookins. Should I
include him on my census form?
A: Of course. The federal gov-
ernment spends billions of dol-
lars on imaginary programs;
these must be targeted to reach
the people who really need them.

Q: Is there a place on the cen-
sus form where I can tell the gov-
ernment how much I hate those
stupid low-flush toilets?

A: The government has pro-
vided margins for this express
purpose.

Q: What will happen to me if I
fail to complete the census form?

A: In the words of Census
Director Prewitt, "Matatanggap
ninyo ang Tagalog na census
form sa loob ng dalawang ling-
go."
Q: Can he DO that?
A: Do not tempt him.

by Bud Bender
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion baseball team start-
ed conference play against
Slippery Rock on Saturday. They
played a double header where
they came out with a split against
one of the top projected teams in
the conference.

In the first game both team had
their bats going. Slippery Rock
got out to an early 17-2 lead. But
Clarion battled back getting 10
runs in the sixth inning and two
in the seventh but came up a little
bit short. Clarion ended up

-Scott Feldman

falling to the Rock by a score of
17-14.

"We showed great character,
kept up the intensity which car-
ried into the second game of the
double header," said first year
head coach Scott Feldman.

Jeff Stanyard, Mike Morgan,
Mike Brown, John Mozzicio,
Tom Kaliszewski, and Nate
Seegers all banged out three hits
in the first game of the two at
Memorial Stadium. David
Graham was charged with the
loss on the mound.

The game proved that Clarion
could hang with the big hitting
teams.

The second game was battle of
pitchers. Sophomore Nate
Baumgardner came out pitched a
complete game. Allowing one
run on four hits in seven innings
of work. For his efforts
Baumgardener was named PSAC
pitcher of the week. On the year
he is 2-2 with a 2.57 ERA.
Clarion got it's two runs in the

bottom of the 5th. Nate Seegers
singled, Tom Kaliszewski singled
they both moved up on a wild
pitch. On a two out rbi single by
Justin Nash both runner scored
making it 2-0. In the top of the
seventh Baumgardner gave up
one run but that was not enough
for Slippery Rock and Clarion
got the 2-1 win.

"It's a team sport I have to give
credit to the defense behind me
because with out them you can
not win," said Baumgardner of
his team.

Clarion with those two games
now stands with a 1-1 record in
the PSAC West. They were
scheduled to travel to California
on Tuesday but the double header
was canceled due to rain. Clarion
was next scheduled to play on
Thursday on the road. This time
they are to play a non-conference
game at Pitt-Johnstown.

Overall Clarion stacks up with
a 6-8 record and a 3-3 record at
home. Senior Jeff Stanyard leads
the way for the Golden Eagles
hitting 490. He has seven runs to
go along with that 490 batting
average. Stanyard also leads the
team with nine stolen bases on
twelve attempts. Stanyard also
uses his quickness to lead the
team in triples with three.

Justin Nash is second on the
team with a 417 batting average.
Nash has been solid under pres-
sure knocking in twelve runs to
lead the Golden Eagles in that
category. Other solid performers
on the offensive side include
Mike Morgan. Morgan a 351 hit-
ter this year has one home run
and nine runs batted in.

On the mound Clarion is led by
Nate Baumgardner with three
complete games. But he has
some solid pitchers behind him in
Chris Karlo who has a 2.84 ERA.
David Graham also is pitching
well with a 2-2 mark. Graham
also leads the team with 21
strikeouts. Graham also posseses
excellent control only giving up

seven walks in over twenty- two
innings.

"We appreciate all the fans sup-
port against Slippery Rock, the
team really feeds off of the
crowd, "said coach Feldman.

Feldman did elaborate on pos-
sible starters for upcoming
games.

Thursday, April 6th Jared Nash
and Jeff Spoljaric are scheduled
to get the starts in two games
against Pitt- Johnstown.

On Saturday at home Nate
Baumgardner who has been
pitching well will start the open-
er against Lock Haven.

Chris Karlo will pitch the sec-
ond game of the doubleheader.

Golf team finishes twenty-fourth at Camp Lejeune

by J. P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

The golf team competed this past week-
end at the 29th Annual Intercollegiate Golf
Championships at Pardise Point golf course
in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Clarion
came away with a 3 day total of 927 to give
them a 24th place finish in the three day
tournament.

The tournament hosted some of the best
Division II and Division III teams in the
country. This included the #1 Methodist
Monarchs who are a Division III power-
house. Methodist is a two time defending
champion coming into this event. The field
also contained three PSAC schools.
Slippery Rock, IUP and West Chester made
the trip down south.

Day one saw Clarion have to challenge
the difficult Gold Course at Paradise Point.
The Gold course posed long par fours and
difficult par 3's.

Clarion shot a team score of (312).
Sophomore Anthoney Tacconelli led the
way firing a two over par 74. This was
Tacconelli's first appearance as the CU

number one man.

"Anthoney did a great job for us. He
played solid all week long. That's what we
need each tournament a low round. And
that is exactly what he did for us," said head
coach Al Leevre.

Others doing well were Adam Botteicher
who shot 78 and freshman Ryan Peffer with
a 79. Botteicher rode the wave of a hot put-
ter to fire his first round 78. Other scores
on day one were J. P. Kenney with an 8 1 and
Matt Honacki 82.

Day two had Clarion on the shorter
Scarlet course. The Scarlett contained
shorter par 4's an three par 5's that were
reachable in two shots.

The Scarlet course proved to be two
shots better, as Clarion fired a 310. Once
again Tacconelli led the way with another
solid 74. Botteicher threw it low as well
shooting a 74 which included a 35 on the
back nine.

Clarion unfortunately was unable to get
anyone else below 80 as Kenney shot 80
and Peffer 82. After two days the field is
split into two. The top 16 teams play the
Gold course for the overall championship.

The bottom 16 play the Scarlett course on
day three for the bottom half championship.

After two rounds Clarion had 622 total
putting them in the middle of the pack for
the bottom half of the championship.
Clarion had their eyes on Slippery Rock
who was only 10 shots ahead of CU. But
West Chester was lurking behind only
seven shots at 629.

The third day once again produced sev-
enty-five degree temperatures. Clarion
produced their best score yet as a team with
a (305).

Clarion was led by Tacconelli and Kenney
as they both fired 73's. Tacconelli played
consistently only making one birdie to go
along with four bogies. Kenney on the
other hand played a litte eratic having six
bogies and three birdies.

Botteicher kept up his consistent play
shooting 77. Peffer rounded out the scoring
with an 82.

Clarion was unable to catch Slippery
Rock. As the Rock fired a three day total of
904. This gave the Slippery Rock Rockets
an 18th place finish. They finished second
in the Scarlet side of the champiosnships.

Clarion did hold off the pesky West Chester
team though.

West Chester finished with a 947 total
putting them in 30th place.

IUP did the best out of all the PSAC
schools finishing seventh in the tourna-
ment.

'it was a great tournament. The weather
was nice and the hospitality was marvelous.
It was nice to see us consistently get better
as the week progressed,"said Leefevre.

Clarion now heads to Millersville this
weekend for a two day tournament. The
Cross Gates Golf Club will play host to the
invatational.

Every PSAC school will be their compet-
ing. This is Clarion's first chance to face
off against defending PSAC champion
Millersville.

Cross Gates Golf Club is a very narrow
short golf course. Set on top of a hill it can
posses some strong winds ranging from 15-
25 miles per hour at times.

Clarion has had great success in the past
at this venue. Including some excellent
individual performances. Clarion finished
second here two years ago.

John Testa (Fr. Newark, De.),
a freshman heavyweight
wrestler at Clarion University,
was named today as the PSAC
(Pennsylvania State Athletic-
Conference) "Rookie of the
Year" for the 2000 season.

Testa, a red shirt freshman,
posted a season record of 28-1 1
and was an NCAA Division I
National Qualifier. He posted a
3-2 record at the NCAA's.
During the season Testa won

ify for the NCAA's. Earlier in
the year he placed 5th at the
prestigous Las Vegas
Invitational and was 2nd at the

Wilkes Open. At the end of the
dual meet season he had put
together a 13-match win streak
and was ranked as high as 14th
in the nation.

"John had a very strong and
rewarding freshman season,"
said Clarion head coach Ken
Nellis. "He is a very dedicated
and hard working wrestler who
is very deserving of this award.
He gained valubable NCAA
expierence this year and that
should help in him in the years
to come. He has a very promis-
ing future."

As an undecided major at
Clarion, Testa is from Newark,
Delaware and St. Mark's High
School. He was a two-time
Delaware State Champion and
posted a high school career
record 115-30. He was also an

Track team competes at Geneva

by Meghan Pavuk
Cja Hon Call Staff Writer

The Golden Eagles track and
field team competed this past
Saturday at Geneva College's
Merriman/ Butler Invitational.
Despite the smaller size of the
meet, in whieh four other schools
competed, the competition still
proved to be a challenge. Similar
to their performance last Saturday
at Memorial Stadium, both
Clarion's men and women won a
number of events.

Geneva's meet proved to be
another showcase of the Clarion
women. They won eight events,
placed second in six events, and
placed third in seven.

The first woman to win was
junior Kelly Null, also known for
her cross country performances,
won the 5,000 meter in 19:03.
Once again, Maureen Long cap-
tured first in the 1500 meter in a
time of 4:51. This time was 13
seconds faster than the second

place runner from St. Francis.
Long didn't stop there, she went
on to win the 800 meter in 2.22.
Long's times in each event are
remarkably faster than last weeks
times.

Speedster Tori Watt won the
100 meter sprint in 12.6. Watt
also placed 4th in the 200 meter,
finishing with a time of 26.80.
Miesha Henry took control of the
100 meter hurdles with a time of
15.9. Henry also went on to win
the triple jump with a jump of
36'02.

In the field, the women still
continued to capture the spot-
light. Heidi Shellgren threw the
shot put 41'02. This mark was
three feet further than last weeks
throw. Lisa Hamrick continues
not only to win, but also to tie her
school record of 9'06 in the pole
vault.

Freshman Liz Eury's throw of
the discus also earned her a win-
ning slot. National qualifier
Melissa Yearous found herself in

a three way tie for first with a
jump of 5 '02. Other Clarion
women who finished well were
Daria Diaz, who took second in
the 5000 meter and the 300 meter,
Laura Crago (110 meter hurdles,
400 meter hurdles), Kara Emrich
(shotput) Krisitie Shoemaker
(long jump), and Krisitie Runk
(3000 and 5000 meter.

The Clarion men also had a
respectable appearance at the
meet. Collectively, they captured
four first and second place finish-
es as well as six third place fin-
ishes. John (J.D.) Dellich hur-
dled his way to win the 1 10 meter
hurdles in 15 seconds flat.
Dellich went on to take second in
the 400 meter hurdles in 56.70.

Nick Cucunato sped into first in
the 100 meter sprint. Cucunato
finished in 10.7. He was fol-
lowed close by his teammate
Dave Clark, who took second.
These two were neck in neck in
the 200 meter race: Clark posted
a time of 22.4 (2nd) and Cucanato

finished in 22.5 (3rd).

In addition, Clark continued in
the long jump. In this event,
Clark took first with a jump of
22'01. Todd Gilbert crushed the
competition in the triple jump.
Gilbert jumped 45 '0. His jump
was three feet further than the
next closest competitor. In addi-
tion, Todd took sixth in the long
jump by jumping 19'09.

Other commendable perfor-

mances by the men include Matt
Mastarone, who took third in the
5000 meter, Jason Tubbs in the
(110 meter hurdles and 400 meter
hurdles), Jerry Smith (800 meter),
Tony Morrow (high jump), Justin
Wise (pole vault) and Colin
Mcglone (steeple chase).

This Saturday, the teams will
head to Lock Haven where they
will compete against such state
schools as IUP and California.

Bob Knight is in the wrong sport according to columnist Mike Conklin

COURTESY OF TMS
CAMPUS

First, on behalf of everyone in
the media, I would like to thank
Bob Knight for the excellent
story material during the past
year.

He again provided us with a
bountiful crop of misdeeds,
political incorrectness, all-
around buffoonery and pure
genius, and that was before the
season even started.
There was last summer's alterca-
tion outside a Bloomington, Ind.,
restaurant after he was accused
of making loud, racist remarks
overheard by others inside the
eatery. There was that accidental
shooting of a friend while hunt-
ing grouse in Wisconsin. There
was the defection of Luke
Recker, a former Indiana Mr.
Basketball, and the kid's subse-
quent, serious automobile acci-
dent during the summer that
drew no response from the
coach.

The stories just kept coming.
But even most of us in the media
agreed the last blast — the CNN-
Sports Illustrated report of a 3-
year-old dustup between Bobby
and former player Neil Reed just
before the NCAA tournament
started — was simply piling on a
coach in the throes of some sort
of decade-long, midlife crisis.
So maybe it's time to figure out

a new role for Knight, if the
media has come full cycle and is
down to resurrecting old stories.
I have just the job for him.
Football coach.

Bobby Knight, who looks like
a football coach, talks like one,
and certainly acts like one,
should become Indiana's football
coach.

The Hoosiers obviously need a
jump-start for the program. It has
been stalled for years, and if Lee
Corso can take IU to a bowl
game, as he did 20 years ago, just
think what The General could do.

Who better to come in and kick
butt than Knight? And as an
added bonus, the school could
simply swing current coach Cam
Cameron, who must know some-
thing about hoops, having played
for Knight, over to be in charge
of the basketball program.

Everyone benefits. The football
program gets a needed shot in the
arm and the basketball players,
who'd probably welcome
Cameron with open arms, surely
would respond positively on the
court.

Meanwhile, the changes
wouldn't cost the school a dime,
and Indiana would get a million
dollars' worth of free publicity
and finally pack the football sta-
dium.

Knight always has been a foot-
ball coach passing as a basketball
coach anyway. This simply has-

Overholt talks
about her
first year at
the collegiate
level

by Derek Pyda
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Pitching figures to be key in
Clarion's Golden Eagle softball
team's chances this year. One of
these pitchers is Kimberly
Overholt.

The Pen Argyle High School
native is a 19-year old freshman
relief pitcher for the Golden
Eagles. Softball has been part of
her life for a long time.

"I started playing softball when
I was in the fifth grade and I have
pitched since 6th grade," Kim
explained. Every pitcher knows
the value of a good defense and
Kim is no exception. "We have a
very good defense this year. It
helps make my job a lot easier,"
she says.

When asked what she finds most
challenging about pitching Kim
replied,"hitting my spots." " It
was a lot easier in high school but
in college it is different. You
have to be able to make the tran-
sition."

A coach's relationship with her
team should never be overlooked.
Kim believes coach Tina Gustely
and the Golden Eagle softball
team are a perfect fit.

Coach Gustely is great. She is
very close with all of us and she
treats us all as professionals and
we respect her for that."

Burgunder finished in the top third as a sixteen
year old. Burgunder would continue to run. But
he focused on cross country.

Now at Clarion Burgunder is Clarion's #5 run-
ner. His workouts include using the swimming
pool, biking, and weightlifting.

He also runs 10-15 miles a day to help condition.
With his first marathon under his belt in some five
years Burgunder turns his attention to the
Pittsburgh Marathon on May 7th.

"I am looking forward to it. It's about a month
away," said Burgunder of the Pittsburgh Marathon

tude towards running," said junior runner John
Shavulsky of Burgunder 's attitude.

marathon is a distance of 31 miles.

Burgunder was pleased with his effort this past
weekend at North Park just right outside of
Pittsburgh. He uses a strategy that seems to work.
"When running long races like the ultra
marathon I try to pick out a rabbit. A fast runner
to keep pace with," said Burgunder of his running
style.

Burgunder a runner since the 10th grade. He
flourished at Shaler high School becoming one of
the best runner in his conference. He earned cap-
tain honors twice.

This is where Burgunder ran his first marathon.

With NCAA's Support,
Senate takes on Gambling

courtesy of TMS Campus

In a move designed to stem the
growing tidal wave of sports
betting, two U.S. Senators, with
the support of the NCAA, intro-
duced landmark legislation
Wednesday that would ban
wagering on all amateur events.

The bill, which is targeted
mostly at the state of Nevada
and its legal sports betting oper-
ations, called gambling a cor-
ruption influence on college
sports in particular, which has
been damaged by point-shaving
scandals at several prominent
colleges.

The Amateur Sports Intergrity
Act, co-sponsored by Senators
John McCain, R-Arizona, and
Sam Brownback,R-Kansas,
would ban gambling on high
school, college and Olympic
sports.

"We got real issues that need
to be dealt with, and we can't
stand around pretending that
they'll just go away," said Bob
Minnix, the compliance chief at
Florida State and the chairman
of the NCAA's Sportsmanship
and Ethical Conduct Committee.
"The numbers get worse every
year. Somewhere along the line,
you've got to try something dif-
ferent."

Supreme Court rules on activity fee

by Brian S. Sowa

Clarion Call

Circulation Manager

The United States Supreme
Court decided on March 22,
2000 in a unanimous decision,
that universities' may require
students to pay mandatory fees to
support student activities.

The high court's decision stat-
ed that the fees do not violate the
constitutional free speech princi-
ples under the First Amendment,
because the money is allocated in
a viewpoint-neutral manner.
Student Activity fee must be
allocated to student groups with-
out regard to their ideological
position.

"The First Amendment permits
a public university to charge its
students activity fee used to fund
a program to facilitate extracur-
ricular student speech if the pro-
gram is viewpoint neutral," said
Supreme Court Justice Anthony
Kennedy.

The ruling rejected the argu-

ment from a group of conserva-
tive Christian students from the
University of Wisconsin that said
the activity fee violated student
rights to free speech and free
association by forcing them to
support groups that had view
they objected to.

"This decision is great news for
the university, and for the stu-
dents, and for the marketplace of
ideas on campus," said Ivan
Frishberg, head of the U.S.
Public Interest Research Group,
an organization that has dozens
of campus-based chapters that
rely on student-activity fees for
support.

The Supreme Court decision
overturned an August 1998 rul-
ing by the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Seventh Circuit, which
stated the university's fee policy
was unconstitutional.

In the argument for the
University of Wisconsin, Susan
Ullman, Assistant Attorney
General, said, "The University of
Wisconsin has determined that

an essential function of its mis-
sion is to encourage students to
engage in the expression of ideas
of interest to them by providing a
modest subsidy to facilitate
expressive activity."

The university defended the
student activity fees for promot-
ing its educational mission by
encouraging diverse views by
different speakers on campus.

Ullman went on to say, "The
law students in this case do not
have a right to avoid paying for
the creation of a forum for robust
campus dialog, any more than
they have the right to avoid pay-
ing tuition that results in the
teaching of courses with which

they disapprove."

Universities use activity fees to
finance all sorts of political
expression, rather than one spe-
cific agenda. In addition, college
students are not presumed to
belong to the organizations sup-
ported with their fees. The
Supreme Court therefore felt the
link between them and the
speech at issue was tenuous.

"The University of Wisconsin
exacts the fee at issue for the sole
purpose of facilitating the free
and open exchange of ideas by,
and among, its students," Justice
Kennedy said.

The Supreme Court noted that
objecting students might insist
on certain safeguards over
expressive activities they must
support. A university may allow
an optional fee or a refund sys-
tem, but it would not be constitu-
tionally required.

According to the National
Association for Campus
Activities, almost seventy per-
cent of public colleges, including

Clarion University, rely on
mandatory student fees to fund
student activities.

Clarion University's student
activity fee was raised to $1 10 a
semester last fall. The fee gener-
ates just over one million dollars
a year, which funds over eighty
on-campus organizations. Also,
beginning next year, a portion of
the fee will help provide funding
for a transportation system.

Leslie Suhr, Student Senate
President, said that "Student
Senate does not currently fund
any sort of political or religious
affiliated organizations on cam-
pus. However, the Supreme
Court's decision clears up our
future and our basis of allocating
the student activity fee."

It is inevitable that the govern-
ment will adopt and pursue pro-
grams and policies within its
constitutional powers but which
nonetheless are contrary to the
profound beliefs and and sincere
convictions of some of its citi-
zens," said Justice Kennedy.

$11.7 million approved for library renovations

by Leslie Suhr

Clarion Call

Managing Editor

Pennsylvania Governor Tom
Ridge approved $11.7 million in
funding for renovations to Clarion
University's Carlson Library.

Clarion University President Dr.
Diane Reinhard learned of the
approval on Tuesday morning.

Clarion University will also be
putting up almost $3.6 million
from the Educational and General
Funds budget designated to
Clarion University from the state

legislature.

The total cost of the project is
$14.6 million.

"We are hoping that the contrac-
tors can now take possession of
the library by July. The projected
date to finish the project is fall
2001," said Reinhard.

The library has been a project on
the state appropriations list for
some time. Part of the recommen-
dation for funding came on behalf
of the Chancellor and the Board
of Governors.

According to Associate
Academic Vice President Shelly

Karp, the ciass^om area of the
Carlson Library will be demol-
ished and the library will be made

We are hoping to
begin construction on
the library as soon as

possible. 99

-Dr. Diane Reinhard
CU President

more accessible for people with
disabilities.

"The demolition will also make
way for a 28,000 square foot addi-

tion to the library," she added.

Other additions to the library
include more study space, double
the amount of computers, and a
handicap accessible art gallery.

After renovations are complete,
The Library Science Department
will be located in the library. The
English Department has already
moved to Davis Hall.

"The library will be totally tech-
nologically outfitted. No matter
where you are in the library, stu-
dents will be able to get a C-net
connection," said Karp.

During the library renovation

process, the library will be com-
pletely shut down.

Books will be housed in the
Gemmell Multi Purpose Room
and Gemmell weight room,
Venango campus, and Moore
Hall.

Staff will currently make two
runs a day for requested items,
although the number is looked to
be increased after an evaluation of
the operations.

The library will be completely
shut down for safety reasons and
in order to avoid having a two to
three year renovation process.

Garnering the Call: Right
Person, Write Place

You know... the Call is used to be a meaning of
expression for many people in many different
ways. Advertisements, articles, public service
announcements, and editorials are used for peo-
ple to publicize events, promote awareness, and
just to b****.

But, at times, probably more than we think,
people have complaints about the Call. That's ok.
We realize we can make mistakes. We're stu-
dents. Sh*t happens.

What really irks us is that people don't contact
the right person. The News Editor can't efficient-
ly handle a Sports problem. The Lifestyles
Editor doesn't know every possible aspect of
advertising. We try to know a little about a lot of
information, but sometimes we just can't help
you.

We work as an organization, but we have dif-
ferent responsibilities. You can't demand us to do
something. It is IMPOSSIBLE to cover every
possible thing that everyone wants covered.

If you have a concern to address, you need to
come to the right person. We can write retrac-
tions and update information. But, if you talk
behind our backs and don't come to us, how are
we to know.

We're students. We're trying. If you wouldn't
want treated this way, neither would we.

Your Views

Police safety needs stressed

Dear Editor,

Amadou Diallo was shot 41 times by the New York
City police for pulling a wallet out of his pocket.
Abner Louima was brutalized with a toilet plunger
and suffered permanent injury due to this same
police department. In Los Angeles, there is the ever-
expanding Rampart scandal, where police planted
drugs and guns on people to incriminate them and
even shot a handcuffed person in the head and then
helped send him to prison as a criminal. A few years
ago in Philadelphia, there was a similar police scan-
dal.

The U.S. media treat these incidents as aberrations
with no real systematic cause, and even liberals and
leftists maintain that all that is needed is civilian
oversight. I disagree with both these viewpoints.

The police in the United States serve the same pur-
pose domestically as the military and the CIA do in
foreign countries - to keep poor people in proper
place. For example, the CIA overthrew a govern-
ment in Guatemala on behalf of the United Fruit
Company and a government in Iran on behalf of
American oil companies, eliminating governments
that were responsive to the needs of the poor.

Public Safety is a concern of the police depart-

ments, but it is only a secondary function. The pri-
mary function of the police is to repress dissent,
strikes, demonstrations and any organized threat to
the existing property relationships in society. In
other words, it is to protect capitalism.

At times the National Guard can serve this same
function. On April 20, 1914 the Colarado National
Guard opened fire with machine guns on a tent
colony of striking miners, killing men, women and
children in what became known as the Ludlow
Massacre.

Corporate crime in terms of pollution, unsafe
working conditions, unsafe products and wars to pro-
tect their interests costs the country far more in lives
and property loss than all the crime committed by
poor people. Yet, how many corporate executives
does one find in prison?

If anyone doubts my analysis, just read A People's
History of the United States by Howard Zinn. The
documentation is very extensive.

Sincerely,

Gary Sudborough

'The day has finally

come that all my tears,

hard work, pain and

suffering have paid

ofL*

Angela Everly, News Editor

Thank God! That is really all that
I can say. Straight up, thank, God! ! !

The day has finally come that all
my tears, hard work, pain and suf-
fering have paid off and I can walk
away with my head held high and
with something in my hand, called a
diploma.

I understand that this large feat
was not something that I accom-
plished alone and I also realize that
I have so many people who have
supported, taught, and loved me
through it all. To those people I am
forever grateful to you. I dedicate
this (editorial) to you.

Before I begin to send out my
heart and soul and thank people and
get all mushy, let me tell you how
impossible this whole entire editori-
al has been to write, save, and print
out. First I begin to type it up on my
computer. My computer finally dies
and I can't get it off the hard drive.
I say a prayer and one last time the
faithful computer fires up and gives
me access to this file. Then I go to
work. I get the computer disk stuck
in the computer and have to get help
digging it out, only to find that it
won't let me open the file yet again.
So for the third time typing and sav-
ing this thing, I hope you all appre-

ciate my thanks.

The people that I thank today are
in no particular order, and I will
apologize now if I forgot anyone.
Sit back and enjoy the read.

To mama, words will never
express all that I owe to you and
how much I truly love and adore
you. Anything I say doesn't even
begin to describe how very much
you mean to me. You are my rock!
Always have been, always will be.
You have sacrificed so very much
and have never asked for anything
in return, so thank you for being my
mom and for being my best friend (I
know that you hate that, but you're
just gonna have to get over it!)
Thank you for getting me through,
always always helping me laugh,
and for raising me to be the person
that I am. You've made me believe
I really can be or do anything.

Grandpa Hall, I just want you to
know that you are the best grandpa
a girl could have! Thank you so
much for all that you do for me. No
matter where I go, I'll always come
home because I know that you will
leave the light on for me, just like
Motel 6 and Tom Bodet!

OPINION

Commentary

by Keith Gwillim
Lifestyles Ed.

Have you ever wondered where
Spam comes from? I have a theory
about this "mystery meat" that will
shock you all. Here it goes - Spam is
made from Canadians....no, wait - let
me explain. The U.S. government has
a highly specialized and trained team
of Navy SEALS that cross the border
into Canuck Country in the dead of
night. They randomly pluck unsus-
pecting hosers from their beds and
smuggle them back across the border.

Once in this country, they are shipped
into New Jersey, where they are tossed
into a meat grinder and then cooked,
flavored, and packaged. This would
explain why New Jersey smells so
bad. Anyway, they are then shipped to
you, so you can enjoy your
Spamburger Hamburger, which is
actually made of Canadians; with their
"beady eyes and flappy heads." What
about Veggie wSoy Burgers, you ask'?
The answer: vegitarian Canadians.
Sorry, Michael J. Fox.

Spam has always mystified me. (I've
actually never consumed the stuff- I'm
allergic to the Great White North. I
break out into painful hives if I hear

more than one Bryan Adams song in a
row.) There are other "combination
meats" out there, such as pepperoni,
but they are tasty and socially accept-
able. Spam, on the other hand, is just
weird. Any day, I expect to see the
new movie. Star Trek 2, 568: The
Undiscovered Meat. ("No, Scotty;
don't eat that - it's not really a turkey
buger ! ! Aaaarrrrrggggghhhh !!!!") I
hate Star Trek, but I'd probably go see
that one, if only for answers.
Perhaps the only thing in this universe
that mystifies me more than Spam is
this phenemena: if a male member of
the human species (or a biker chick,
let's be PC.) encounters a long, cylin-
der-shaped object; they must pick it up
and pretend that it's a lightsaber. base-
ball bat, tree branch, hoagie - it doesn't
matter. The guy will pick it up, make
that unmistakable "beeeejuuuu-
fffwwwuuussshhh" ignition noise, and
wave the object around in a threatening
manner. All the while, line from Star
Wars will be recited ("No, Luke; / am
your father. Now I will cut off your
hand with this 12-inch Italian sub").

OPINION

(^erve^ally Speaking
A Spotlight on General Education

by Dr. William Buchanan

Member of the General

Education council

One of my favorite cartoons
shows is Dennis the Menace and
his friend sitting in the back of the
classroom commenting on the
teacher's attempts to explain a
mathematical concept. "So," the
teacher says, pointing to the
chalkboard, "if I have four and
take away two, what's the differ-
ence?" Turning to his friend,
Dennis says wisely, " see, even
she doesn't care."

Dennis' interpretation of the
quest'on reflects both his lower
level grasp of the English lan-
guage and perhaps his own
humorous need to believe that the
formula for reducing one number
by another is not worth learning.
If we could all live in Dennis' per-
petually immature world, perhaps
general education wouldn't make
a difference. But this amusing
story reminds all of us outside the
comic strip that general education
really does make a difference.
The rudimentary grasp of lan-
guage and of the world which we
bring with us as college freshmen
is merely a foundation to build
greater understanding and knowl-

edge so that we can understand
the difference.

To take the cartoonist's play on
language a step farther we can
pick almost any word and demon-
strate how a greater knowledge of
math or science or language or
sociology or literature can expand
our intellectual horizons to the
point that we can understand the
obvious and not so obvious mes-
sages inherent in one string of
alphabetic characters.

Take the word "scat" for
instance. Most of us come to col-
lege knowing that it is an impera-
tive used to order an irritating ani-
mal our of our presence. "Scat,
cat" is something many of us have
heard as children.

It can also mean to depart quick-
ly as in the oft-heard phrase from
a departing person, "I've got to
scat."

But a knowledge of music
informs us that it also refers to a
complex and highly individual-
ized form of jazz singing. So
when jazz great Cleo Laine says
"I've got to scat" some will infer
that she is about to take off quick-
ly for some other destination.

Thank you for loosing more hours of sleep than what any
normal human being should loose in one lifetime.
Thanks David for not getting mad when I call at crazy
hours and wake you both up. Thanks Jo for always
knowing when I should stay upset (to keep me motivat-
ed to make changes or get things done) and when I
should let it out. And most importantly thank you for
always supporting and not judging some of my less intel-
ligent decisions. Oh and one more thing, you know
what? No matter what anyone says I really do think that
we hide our emotions well.

Judd, thank you big brother for appreciating the person
that I have grown into. I understand that big brothers
have a moral obligation to remind their little sisters that
they are just that, little sisters, but thank you for letting me
be your friend too. No matter how old I get, have no fear
I will still know the pecking order of this family (and the
fact that until you and Jodie left I NEVER got to ride in
the front seat which leads to me getting car sick now!)
Ha-ha! I forgot to mention that it is a little sisters moral
obligation to taunt her older brother! Colorado was the
best and I thank you for knowing exactly what I needed!
I had a blast and can't wait to do it again.

To the rest of my family who have put up with me and
done so much more than what any normal family would

do, thank you. I guess we are not a normal family but we
can pretend for just this once...

Dr. Mary Jo Reef, thank you for not only being a great
mentor but for being a really great friend. You will
always be my favorite Faculty Senator! I hope that what-
ever goals you have, you achieve because you really do
deserve it. Oh by the way, I don't miss the long meetings
anymore and I am going to stop the habit or at least try
anyway. I'll make you proud of me again.

Dr. Barlow, although you bark at me and make fun of
my dog, I don't care what people say about you, I don't
think that you are crotchety. Thank you very much for
teaching me as much as you have. I don't think that I
would be half the journalist I am if you and Steve hadn't
taught me all you know and more. I'll always remember
Atlanta and Mrs. Barlow as well, I know you're getting
old but I hope you can remember them too! And I know
next to Mary Beth, I really am your favorite. I think it's
a News Editor thinking. One last thing, stop taunting and
teasing the Rott!

Mr. Wassinsk, my adopted dad. No matter what any-
one says I know I am the daughter you never had and
always wanted. Thank you so very much always just
being you. You really have made my last year at Clarion
one filled with laughs and joy! I have enjoyed working

General* Generally
Speaking, from Page 5.

of an introductory music course will
properly infer that she feels a song
coming on.

To take the word to a bluer envi-
ronment [and I'm referring to the
actual color here], we learn from a
study of biology that scat actually
refers to excrement and forms the
root of the word scatology, the orig-
inal meeting of which was the study
of fossilized dung. The word has
now been borrowed by social scien-
tists to refer to a morbid interest in
excrement or a preoppupation with
obscene literature.

I will leave you to ponder private-
ly the amusing and not-so-amusing
circumstances that a misunderstand-
ing of this word might lead to. The
point, 1 think, is clear. As was illus-
trated in a very simple way by
Dennis and his teacher and in a
more convoluted way by our con-
siderations of scat, general educa-
tion takes us beyond single and sim-
ple understandings of the world
around us to a more complete and
meaningful understanding of that
world at all its many levels.

What's the difference? The differ-
ence is enlightenment.

for you much more than what I will ever admit (just this one time anyway!) If
you have any fears that you will get rid of me after graduation, rest assured I
will still find ways to taunt you and make you laugh no matter where the world
may take me. Ya can't get rid of me that easily! I know that the University will
miss you as much as they will miss me (ha-ha) when you finally decide to
"graduate."

Mary Anne, Pat and the rest of the gang at the Student Activities office, you
all have been so fun to work with and I hope when things are messed up next
semester you don't blame it on me. Mary Anne, please stay wonderful and
sweet in other words be yourself because everyone including my self adore
you! Michelle, I really have been lucky to talk with you and build a strong
friendship with you. Hang in there bud, you only have another semester to go!
Keep thinking of the big picture, it really is worth it in the end! Mario, you had
better stay out of the supply closet next semester.

Mrs. Mary Wilson, you rock! Thank you so much for helping me find ways
to put all those credits that mysteriously found their place in the free elective
slots of my check sheet in their new happy homes in required credit slots. They
(meaning the credits) and I both thank you! You are such a wonderful person
inside and so many students who come in contact with you really do know how
lucky they are... we just forget to tell you, so from them and me, thank you for
all that you do for us! And how about that internship?

The Clarion Call, oh God where do I even begin? You have all scared me,
made me mad, and then made me laugh repeatedly! There are some of you
that I really am going to miss and some of you that I'm not! I think that you
will know which category that you fit into without reading the rest. Leslie,
thank you for always taking time away from the stuff that you needed to get
done to write my stories. I can not tell you how much I appreciate you always
being there for me during deadline. Good luck finding the job and the cold
hard cash. I wish you the best of luck. Jeff, it sucks that you always steal my
stories so next year I'm telling Amy to keep all her stories next year. How do
you like them apples? Maria, thanks for writing and typing stories for me but
most importantly thanks for hooking me up with supplies. You would think I

eat the damn papers clips as much as I tell you I need them huh? Good luck
after graduation. Nancy, the only thing I can say to you is thanks for waiting!
You are patient and I really appreciate it! Greg, Greg, Greg, I just plain love
ya! Thank you so much for always finding me graphics at the last minute. The
paper and my pages look better because of it. I wish you and Tyler the best of
luck after graduation! Keith, thanks for being my little brother for a while. I'm
just sorry that things got bad, but remember next year when no one is around
to taunt you like I did that we DID have some fun. I wish you the best of luck
next year! J.P. your pages look really good and have improved so much in the
last semester. I also just wanted to say thank you for letting me pick on you
and be the little brother that I never really wanted. Whatever you decide to do
next year, I know that you will not only succeed but shine at it as well.

Amy, you are ready so don't be nervous. I just wanted to say thanks for being
a great assistant, a great little sister, and a great friend. You have always been
there pumping out a serious number of stories and I just wanted to say thanks.
You won't miss me too much because I will leave my memories on my com-
puter for you. You know what I am talking about.. .my pages and stories. No
swearing, smoking, drinking, or any other habits that you may have picked up
from me. You are a nice girl and you need to stay that way. I am leaving you
in good hands but don't stress because I really am not even leaving after all.
I'll make it up when I can and AT&T can start thanking us both for being such
great customers.

Angie, my bestest friend in the whole world and twin sister that I never had.
You have supported me, loved me, laughed with me and most certainly cried
with me. Thank you for knowing what the word friend means and most impor-
tantly for always being more than just a friend. You have gone above and
beyond the call of duty more times than I can count. I certainly got lucky to
get a friend like you! And when we are too old to walk, you can bet your ass
if you ever need me I will always be there for you. I love you and I love your
daughter. You deserve the world and someday you will have it!

Zeus, (for those of you who don't know he is my dog-and yes I understand
he can't readout I owe him something), Thank you fo understanding why I
come home tired and cranky some nights and don't play with you. I appreci-
ate you and understand that you are way too smart and too patient for your own
good!

Last but not least, Brian. You have done so much for me. Thank you! Thank
you for everything you've done for me today, tomorrow, and the next day. It's
funny how one moment can change a person's entire goal, dream, and per-
spective on things. I remember a time not so long ago when I could not wait
until I could get out of here and now here I am dragging my feet because of
you. You have reminded me once again that everything happens for a reason.
Things are going to be crazy next year but I am going to keep the faith and tiy
to relax. How does that sound? Thanks for making me laugh, making me mad,
making me cry, and then making me laugh all over again. Thanks for includ-
ing me in your life and your family. You have gotten me through this last crazy
month and have been patient with me, understanding with me, and supportive
with me. For all of that I thank you. I am still waiting however for one dart
board to be put up in my house because one of these days I will be kicking your
ass. A girl can dream can't she? Hey Slim Sowa, blah, blah, blah!

Vanishing I The story of Spam, from Page

But getting back to Spam... The FDA (Food and Drug Admisistration, or Flying
Doritoes of Armaggeddon) has actually listed Spam as, and I quote, "a gateway
meat, much like weed." I'm not sure what this means, because it would be rather
hard to roll up a joint of Spam and smoke it. Even if you could, it'd be really fat-
tening. As hard as it is to believe, there are documented cases of it, though. Robert
Downey, Jr. started with shooting up harmless Spam juice, and has degenerated
into the crackhead we all know and love.

There are Spam rehab centers all across the countiy, and even the Betty Ford clin-
ic has started up a program. Abusers are slowly weaned off of the meat by increas-
ingly small doses of Spam, which is eventually replaced by Canadian bacon. In
conclusion, avoid Spam at all costs. Especially when waved at you by a biker
chick. My endless thanks to Amanda for providing me with this stupid topic. I
don't know what I would' ve done if not for you. Sony about the Downey Jr. crack

2000-2001 STUDENT SENATE ELECTIONS

Eight incumbents retain Senate positions

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

The student body of Clarion
University went to the election
polls last week to elect 20 Student
Senators and to approve amend-
ments to the Clarion Students'
Association (CSA) Constitution.

All eight current student sena-
tors were re-elected to the Student
Senate for next year.

Incumbent Parliamentarain
Mike Mangieri led all candidates
with 265 votes.

"I am happy to see we will have
eight senators returning next
year," said current Senate
Treasurer Brian Sowa. "It is
important to maintain some expe-
rience in an organization such as
Senate while also getting the
oppurtunity to hear new voices
and ideas from the newly elected
Senators."

Twenty three students cam-
paigned last week for the twenty
Student Senator positions.

The three alternates will be con-
tacted next year if a Senator
resigns a poisition or fails to meet

the expectations and obligations
of a Senator.

"I feel that the mixture of return-
ing Senators and the newly elect-
ed Senators will make for a
promising year for Senate.
Hopefully we will be able to
accomplish our goals and still
have some fun," said Senator Bill
Isbir.

According to Student Relations
chairperson Jen Mathis, 539 stu-
dents voted in this year's election.
These results are slightly lower
than last year's results.

The turn out is considerably low
considering the student body pop-
ulation at Clarion University.

"It is slightly frustrating to see
only 539 students come out to
vote for people who will be their
voice for the next upcoming
year," said Treasurer Sowa.

Along with voting, for Senators,
students voted 275-5 in a referen-
dum to approve the changes to the
CSA Constitution.

The Consitution will be for-
warded to Dr. Reinhard,
University President, for review.

Following review of Dr.
Reinhard, the Council of Trustees
will review and approve the
Consitution at their next meeting.

Pending this approval, the CSA
Constitution will go into effect
immediately following.

The 2000-2001 Student Senate
will begin their duties before the
close of the current academic
year. Senators are required to
serve on two standing committees
of the Student Senate and one sub-
committee, within the University.
Executive Board elections for
President, Vice President,
Treasurer, and Parliamentarian
will take place at the Monday,
May 1 Student Senate meeting.

"This year's candidates were
much more active and vocal dur-
ing the campaign. We haven't
seen this much interest in years,"
said Student Senate President
Leslie Suhr.

"Although election voter turnout
is usually low, it is really evidet
that there are many students who
do take an active interest in who
represents them" added Suhr.

»••••••••

Dr. Ling Hwey Jeng, president of the Chinese
American Librarians Association, will present a
public lecture on professionalism and diversity
Thursday. April 13 at 3:30 p.m. as part of the collo-
quium series sponsored by the Department of
Library Science at Clarion University. The lecture
will be in Hart Chapel and is free to the public.

Titled "Sense and Sensitivity: Intergrating
Diversity in Library and Information Science
Professionalism." the lecture is based on Jeng's
many years of experience advocating for more
diversity among librarians and library science edu-
cators.

"Librarianship is a field where the professionals
are overwhelmingly Euroamerican," said Dr.

William Buchanan, associate professor of Library
Science and coordinator of the colloquium series.
"The effo-ts of leaders such as Dr. Jend are critical-
ly important in developing a more diverse group of
library professionals."

Jeng, who is also a professor at the University of
Kentucky, received her BA from the University of
Taiwan. She received both her masters and doctor-
ate from the University of Texas at Austin.

She is widely published in the professional litera-
ture of library science and is recognized throughout
the profession for her leadership.

Buchanan noted that there are many opportunities
for employment in librarianship. Clarion's graduate
program in library science is one of only 50 pro-
grams in the U.S accredited by the American
Library Association.

Small Businesses address Pennsylvania Legislature

Clarion University co-sponsors business conference

by Jennifer DeFazio

Clarion Call

Assistant Managing Editor

The Pennsylvania Conference on Small
Businesses was held in Harrisburg on April 13
and 14 and was sponsored by Clarion
University and National City Bank of
Pennsylvania.

Those that attended from the Clarion area are
Katie and Joe Benini representing Sinter Fire
Inc., Dennyse Mehta representing The
Denbeigh Shoppe, and Rick Goble represent-
ing Goble Funeral Homes.

The representatives met with Clarion
University President Diane L. Reinhard and
National City President and Chief Executive
Officer Thomas W. Golinski, to discuss the
conference.

At the conference, small business owners
provided a ten-point economic development
agenda that was presented to Governor Tom
Ridge and Pennsylvania State Legislature.

Representative Dennyse Mehta stated, "The
purpose of the conference was to highlight the
most important issues small businesses in
Pennsylvania face." She said that she was
chosen to be a delegate and she doesn't think
she will personally gain anything from the
conference, but went in hopes to help other
small businesses.

At regional conferences, delegates voted on
a 16-point agenda, highlighting two action
items under core issues.

The core issues that were discussed included
financing, new market opportunities, procure-
ment, regulations, taxes, technology, and

workplace development. These issues were
developed as broad enough topics so that all
problems and concerns would be discussed
and acknowledged.

Regulations and taxes were key issues that
the representatives felt were the most impor-
tant to be discussed, and that they should be
the focus of the conference.

Many representatives hoped to gain insight
as to how the government views small busi-
nesses. " I hope that going to this conference

will help me to relay to the government some
of the problems small businesses face." said
Goble one week prior to the conference.

Representatives hoped to get their views of
the problems across to the legislature in hopes
of improvement. They felt that even if
improvement does not occur, having the gov-
ernment recognize the problems small busi-
nesses face is a good start. In the future they
hope to find acknowledgment to many issues
that they deal with.

EOP sponsors Pre-College Experience

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor

In the March 23 edition of the
Clarion Call, an article was writ-
ten regarding the Summer Pre-
College Experience Program
sponsored by the Educational
Opportunties Program.

Questions regarding the pro-
gram were misidentified as being
a part of the regular EOP pro-
gram.

"The EOP program has been at
Clarion for many years. This is
not a new program." said Dr.
Stevan Arthur McCrory. Director
of the EOP program.

The Educational Opportunities
Program at Clarion University
will be sponsoring its Pre-College
Summer Experience Program
from June 14-July 21.

During the Pre-College Summer
Experience Program, students
learn skills in math and communi-

cations. They also participate in
sporting events, tutoring, and peer

counseling.

Students who apply to Clarion
and are admitted with SAT scores
of a combined score of 850 or
lower and have low GPA's from
throughout a high school career

are required to participate in this
program.

After successful completion of
the Pre-College Summer
Experience Program, students
will automatically be accepted
into the University.

The student will then be

required to continue to see his/her
advisor on a regular basis and
attend tutoring sessions if neces-
sary.

The student will also receive six
credits for completing the com-
munication and math courses.

The purpose of the summer pro-
gram is to help students to identi-
fy strong points of studying.

An orientation session will
occur on April 15 for parents and
students. During the orientation,
there will be an overview of ser-
vices provided in the program.
The program will help students
get acquainted with the campus.

Students are also eligible to
apply for free and reduced meal
costs during the program if their
family meets annual income and
family size guidelines.

"Every student has needs.
These students' needs are no dif-
ferent from those of any other stu-
dent," said McCrory.

CORRECTION:

The article in last week's edition
of the Clarion Call incorrectly
indentified Alpha Chi Rho (AXP)

Conference to bring together SSHE faculty and students

by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Clarion University of Pennsylvania will host the State System of
Higher Education's Interdisciplinary Association for Philosophy
and Religious Studies conference on Friday, April 14 and Saturday,
April 15. The conference brings together faculty and students from
all 14 institutions of the State System to share their research. The
readings are free and open to the public.

One Clarion University student, Angeline Binick, will be pre-
senting her essay, 'The Female Role, The Biblical God, and the
Goddess" at 7:00 p.m. on Friday in Hart Chapel.

Binick, a junior philosophy major, won the first prize of $50 in the
essay contest, which was open to undergraduate students in the
State System. She said, "It was an honor to win the IAPRS essay
contest, and I'm very pleased that my paper on women's spiritual-
ity was deemed worthy. Researching and wnting the essay defi-
nitely helped me to better understand women and worship, and I
hope to better explore themes of women's spirituality in future
works."

Binick, of Hanover, is a daughter of Joann Binick.

Also presenting on Friday are two undergraduates from Indiana
University of Pennsylvania. Joanna Stone will read her paper,
"Women and Hinduism and India: The Stunning Correlation
between Theory and Practice." Nathan DeHoff will present his
essay, "Monotheism and Polytheism."

Dr. Andrew Light, assistant professor of philosophy and environ-
mental studies at the State University of New York, Binghamton,
will deliver his keynote address, 'Toward an Urban Environmental

Ethic" at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. Light is a resident fellow at the
International Center for Advanced Studies at New York University
and has written over 40 articles and chapters on environmental
ethics, philosophy of technology, and philosophy of film. He is the
co-editor of the journal, "Philosophy and Geology" as well as co-
editor of several books, including: "Environmental Pragmatism,"
"Philosophies of Place," and "Radical Philosophy Today: Race,
Class, and Community Identity."

It was an honor to win the IAPRS

essay contest, and I'm very pleased
that my paper on women 's spirituality

was deemed worthy. §§

-Angeline Binick
Student

Light's research is partially funded by the State System Faculty
Professional Development Grant, "Ideas Generating Answers:
Philosophy and Religion as Tools for Solving Environmental
Crisis."

essay, "On the Relationship between Teacher, Student, and Text:
Developing a Philosophy of Education." He said, "I was very
pleased to have my paper accepted. I encourage all Clarion
University students to attend for an intellectually exciting time."

Dr. Jamie Phillips, assistant professor of philosophy, said,
"Hopefully a lot of people will show up." His essay is entitled,
"How Chalmers' Argument Against Physicalism Equivocates." In
Phillips' essay, he attacks the views of philosopher, Chalmers.

Dr. Tom Rourke, assistant professor of political science, will be
reading his essay, "Contemporary Globalization: An Ethical
Evaluation."

Two people from Slippery Rock University will be presenting

The play is based on the life of

theatrical event certainly is not
a tragedy (although the charac-

temple has suprisingly Phallic
features.

The cast played multiple char-
acters and were able to add to
each character its own flair.

Outstanding performances
included Southworth who
brought an equal amount of
empathy, comedy, and frustra-
tion to his character. Laua
Reinhart as Isadora was believ-
able as "visionary of modern
dance" and a "revolutionary" of
un-married pregnancies.

Matthew J. Croyle who
potrayed Isadora's brother,
death, and Konstantin

Stanislavshy, had the audience
rolling in the aisles with his
"stretching" techniques in one
scene.

Isadora's guardian angel
played by Rebecca Lee
Weinheimer was more vindic-
tive than guarding but
Weinheimer brought a fire to the
role.

Steven Gallagher was the
"accent" specialist as his perfor-
mance as Isadora's personal
manager and other ethnic char-
acters such as Sol Hurak.
Gallagher's accent began to
fade in the waner minutes of the
performance but overall he did
an excellent job of handling the
roles.

Alexander Thompson por-
trayed the many loves of
Isadora. His performance as
Paris Singer, of the sewing
machine fortune and E. Gordon
Craig were particularly memo-
rable.

The crowd on opening night
was not a sell out but the crowd
in attendence was treated to a
great opening. The perfor-
mance continues tonight in the
Little Threatre in Marwick
Boyd at 8 O'clock and runs
through Saturday.

Band Pantera returns with a vengeance

Pantera is the premier their sophomore disc, Vulgar of uncompromising metal.

They don't play hip-hop followed 1990's Cowboy's success by releasing their

most inaccessible album to
date, The Great Southern
Trendkill. A live album fol-
lowed, along with a solo
effort by lead singer Phil
Anselmo.

but for
the sake
of argu-
ment, it

and
Pantera

rolling
full
steam to
the top
of the
metal
heap
once again with Reinventing
The Steel. Fans of the band
who were turned away by the
...Trendkill will embrace
Reinventing The Steel.
Pantera relies heavily on
their roots, borrowing on the
sounds of Black Sabbath,
Texas-fried blues, David
Allen Coe (yes, David Allen
Coe!), and old metal bands
such as Slayer and
Metallica, when they were in
their prime, of course. The
result is an accessible album
with many catchy choruses
and incredible rhythms.

The album opens with
"Hellhound, " a straightfor-
ward, riff-happy song that
gets you primed for the pun-
ishment of the rest of the
album dishes out.

"Goddamn Electric" follows
with a metalish-blues bridge
and chorus with Anselmo
screaming: "trust .in

whiskey, weed, and Black
Sabbath, it's goddamn elec-
tric."

Black Sabbath is a reoc-
curring theme of the album,
most likely since Pantera
toured with Sabbath all last
summer. This year they're
heading Ozzfest with Ozzy
Osbourne of Black Sabbath.
"Revolution Is My Name,"
the first single off the disc,
is heavy on Sabbath grooves; '
straight off of Masters Of

Reality or Paranoid.

Pantera pulls these grooves
off effortlessly, obviously
showing that they've been
playing to Sabbath tunes for
many years.

True die-hard fans won't
be dis-
appoint-
ed by
the lack
of fast
metal
songs,
a s

"Death
Rattle"
and
"Uplift"
push the
throttle
all the
way
down.
In con-
trast to mindless speed,
"It'll Make Them

Disappear" is a dark, brood-
ing song that concentrates
on laying down a serious
vibe in the groove and show-
casing the band's knack for
loading many rhythms and
dynamics in the song.

Other highlights of
Reinventing The Steel
include "Yesterday Don't
Mean S***'I, which sounds
like it came off of Vulgar
Display Of Power, with
smashing mid-tempo

rhythms and Dimebag
Darrell's signature screech-
ing solos throughout. The
album's closer, "I'll Cast A
Shadow" is the masterpiece,
one of the best songs Pantera
has ever written. The lyrics
are reminiscent of "Bury Me
In Smoke", off of Anselmo's
side project, Down's album.
It alone is worth the price of
the disc.

I'll admit that I have an
extreme bias towards
Pantera. Teenyboppers have
their N'Sync posters, I have
my Pantera ones. I'll admit
they shot themselves in the
foot with ...Trendkill, but
they are back with a
vengeance. For Pantera's
effort of trying to reinvent
the steel,, I'll give them a

nine out of ten.

Cider House Rules is a touching and thoughtful film

by Mike Cody
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Michael Caine's perfor-
mance in The Cider House
Rules won him this year's
Oscar for Best Supporting
Actor, defeating my pick,
Haley Joel Osmont, who was
outstanding in The Sixth
Sense. Even after seeing
Cider House, I'm still not
quite sure why the Academy
chose Caine over Osmont. His
performance as Dr. Wilbur
Larch is quite powerful
though, and certainly worthy
of praise, as is Cider House,
one of the best constructed
movies of the past year.

I'd resisted seeing Cider
House for numerous reasons,
not the least of which being
that it looked duller than a pair
of kindergarten scissors.
Heavy-handed period pieces
that are carefully crafted to
appeal to Oscar voters have

never been my forte. I'm
pleased to say that my initial
impressions about Cider
House couldn't have been far-
ther from the truth. The film
is a great deal more controver-
sial than its previews suggest,
presenting perhaps the most
convincing pro-abortion argu-
ment of any recent film and
frankly dealing with topics
such as wartime infidelity and
incest.

Homer Wells (Tobey
McGuire) has never known
life outside of the orphanage
he calls home. Unwanted and
abused by the few couples who
tried to adopt him, Homer has
resigned himself, in body if
not in spirit, to following in
the footsteps of his mentor, Dr.
Larch, who loves Homer like a
son. Dr. Larch has trained his
young pupil to be a surgeon
since Homer was just a boy.
The two occasionally butt
heads over both the young

man's future, since Homer manages to find a job with

Homer refuses to perform
abortions on any of the preg-
nant women who come to the
orphanage looking for a way
out.

When Wally, a young air
force pilot (Paul Rudd), comes
to the orphanage along with
his pregnant girlfriend, Candy
(Charlize Theron), hoping that
Dr. Larch will give her an
abortion, Homer finally sees a
way out. He convinces the
couple to take him with them
when they leave and even

tightly knit group of fellow
apple pickers in the estate's
Cider House. As sexual ten-
sion between Homer and
Candy starts to rise, problems
in both the Cider House and
the orphanage, where Dr.
Larch is becoming increasing-
ly addicted to ether, continue
to grow.

Full of unique and challeng-
ing messages of love, honor,
and duty, The Cider House
Rules could hardly be consid-
ered sentimental fluff.

McGuire is excellent as
Homer, who seems to be a
more well-adjusted version of
his character James Leer from
Wonder Boys. Even if Caine,
who sounds somewhat strange
without his normal English
accent, didn't deserve to
receive an Academy Award, he
certainly shouldhave received
the Oscars' version of the Miss
Congeniality honor. His per-
formance as Dr. Larch is rock
solid and truly anchors the
film.

Delroy Lindo and R&B diva
Erykah Badu, making her film
debut, are also excellent in
their supporting roles as
Homer's fellow workers. As
Candy, Theron is adequate
enough but her role doesn't
call for her to do much besides
look beautiful and act frustrat-
ed every once in awile.

Every night as he puts the
orphans to bed, Dr. Larch
solemnly says, "Good night all
you princes of Maine, you
kings of New England." As
the doctor shuts the door gen-
tly, one of the little boys turns
to the others and asks, "Why
does he say that every night?"
After a few moments of delib-
eration, another boy replies,
"Because we like it." How
could you not?

Choice between death and taxes is easier

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer

It's time for my annual Tax Guide,
which takes you step-by-step through
the federal tiling process, from obtaining
the proper tax forms all the way to get-
ting that desirable upper pnson bunk.

I'll start with an important reminder:
This year, Apnl 15 tails on a Saturday,
which means that, by law, your tax return
is due on MARCH 15, which was sev-
eral weeks ago. (This must be tme,
because it is being printed in a newspa-
per.) If you missed the deadline, the
Internal Revenue Service says not to
worry. "This is a totally understandable
error made by many taxpayers," states
IRS Commissioner Charles O. Rossotti.
"They will be audited with meat hmks."
Here's another important reminder: As
a taxpayer, you are required to be fully in
compliance with the United States Tax
Code, which is currently the size and
weight of the Budweiser Clydesdales.
The Tax Code was written by Congress,
although of course no member of
Congress has ever actually read it;
Congress has more important things to
do, such as adding new regulations to the
Tax Code. In fact NOBODY has ever
read all the way through the Tax Code.
The last attempt to do so was made in

1987 by a squad of courageous volun-
teer Certified Public Accountants,
accompanied by Sherpa guides. The last
survivor made it as far as Section 2038-
1239-0293. 423. 112. 6(b)(m),
"Guidelines Concerning the Fiduciary
Depreciation of the Pituitary Exemption
for Certain Elk Parts." According to the
coroner, what was left of his brain
"l(X)ked like rancid mayonnaise."

Just for fun, let's kxik at an actual sen-
tence from the Tax Gxie that I am not
making up, sent in by alert CPA Paul
Mangum:

"Notwithstanding paragraph (bXl) of
this section, a partnership, S corporation,
or personal service corporation is consid-
ered a member of a tiered structure if the
partnership , S corporation, or personal
service corporation, or related taxpayers
have organized or reorganized their
ownership structure or operations for the
principal purpose of obtaining a signifi-
cant unintended tax benefit from making
or continuing a section 444 election."'

As a trained English major, I have read
this sentence several times, and I
THINK it's saying that if you deliberate-
ly try to obtain a benefit that you do not
intend to obtain, then you belong in a
"tiered structure." I have no idea what a
"tiered structure' is, but it doesn't sound
good. I picture a pyramid-shaped iron

cage deep in the bowels of the IRS build-
ing, populated by spiders the size of fox
terriers.
Some people have suggested that our

tax laws should be simplified so that the
taxpayers could actually understand
them. How could all this be done? My
friend John Dorschner proposes this sys-
tem: Every year, on April 15, all mem-
bers of Congress would be placed in
individual prison cells with the necessary
tax forms and a copy of the Tax Code.

The Clarion Hospital Ambassadors
invite vou to...

-;:r!:Sv£

They would remain locked in the cells,
without ftxxi or water, until they had
completed their tax returns and success-
fully undergone a full IRS audit. Of
course this system would probably result
in a severe shortage of congresspersons.
But there might also be some draw-
backs.

For the time being, however, you mast
follow the current laws in preparing your
return. So gather together your tax
forms, your financial records, your cal-
culator and your three to five quails of
gin, and get started! To guide you
through the process, here are the answers
to some common tax questions:

Q. What are "capital gains"? How can
I tell if I have them?

A. This requires a urine test.

Q. Recently, without realizing what
was happening, and through no fault of
my own, I accidentally married a multi-
millionaire on nationwide television.
What are the tax implications of this'?

A. You must file IRS Form 1092-348-
498597-EZ, "Declaration of Total Bases
Reached on Nuptial Night" An IRS

p class of

spokesperson stated that "this kind of
thing happens all the time" and noted
that "generally all that happens is you
lose your house."

Q. Speaking of television, when a con-
sultant on "Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire" wins the top prize, how
long is it befoie he is contacted by the
IRS?

A. IRS guidelines call for the first dog
to clamp onto his leg while he is still hug-
ging Regis.

Q. I understand that I can now file my
taxes electronically. How does that
work?

A. It's easy! You simply till out some
forms on your computer, then log onto
the Internet. Within seconds, all of your
personal financial information is in the
hands of a 17-year-old hacker known as
The DataBcx)ger.

GOT MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT
TAX LAWS? The IRS urges you to
contact your congressperson at home
late at night, and stresses that "you can

fully deduct the cost of the ladder."

Sports
Clarion set to add women's soccer this Fall

by J. P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

Clarion University's athletics is
set to add a new sports program in
the Fall with the addition of
women's soccer. It is set to begin
in the Fall as a cluh sport, but in
the year 2001 will he a full blown
Division II soccer program.
Clarion will now be the 12th
women's soccer team in the
Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference (PSAC).

This will be the first new pro-
gram added at Clarion University
since 1978. "We are adding soc-

There will not be

adequate time to

recruit. This is why the

team will start out at a

club level §§

-Bob Carlson

cer for several reasons, "stated
Carlson. "We feel soccer is an
extremely popular sport that is
spreading in popularity across the
country and our surveys show the
same interest exists here on cam-
pus. We also needed to add a
women's sport to equal our pro-

grams at eight each, plus this will
bring our women's participation
rate up to 43% on campus."

Right now there is no head
coach for the program. A coach is
scheduled to be hired early this
summer between the first and the
fifteenth of July. The new coach
in his or her first year, will be
mainly dealing with possible play-
ers who are already enrolled at
Clarion University.

"There will not be adequate time
to recruit. This is why the team
will start out at a club level," said
Bob Carlson, Head Athletic
Director.

Carlson also said the new head
coach will also be working on a
schedule of games, equipment and
facilities. With the addition of this
new women's soccer team there
now will be a four team PSAC
championship. As mentioned,
Clarion will compete against the
other eleven PSAC schools in the
Fall 2001.

After they have dropped their
club status. Another incentive for
CU students to try out for
women's soccer is the $20,000 in
scholarships offered. This money
will be given out beginning in the
Fall 2001.
"Given the level of interest and

in the spirit of gender equity,
Clarion University is pleased to be
offering a women's soccer pro-
gram," said Clarion University
President Dr. Diane L. Reinhard.
The addition of this new team
brings about major renovations
that are to be done surrounding

Garrett Fabian/The Clarion Call

Memorial Stadium is set to begin its renovations May 15th.
The renovations will run through the summer and our sched-
uled to be complete August 15th.

Memorial Stadium. This fall, as a
club team, CU will most likely
play all it's games on the road.

Renovations are set to begin on
May 15th. The renovations
include moving the baseball field
to the back end of the open field.
It will be turned facing towards
the parking lot. This new baseball
field will contain new dugouts and
a temporary fence.

The softball field will stay where
it is, but there will be new
dugouts and the field will have a
permanent fence. The soccer field
will be adjacent to the new prac-
tice football field. The practice
football field will not be touched.
Renovations are set to be complet-
ed by August 15th in time for Fall
practices to begin.

"This is an exciting time for us,"
said Carlson. "It gives women

athletes another opportunity to
play at the collegiate level."

Clarion, in two years will come
into a strong conference. Last
year Lock Haven took home the
title of PSAC Champion with a 9-
1 record in conference and a 15-3
mark in all. West Chester was
second at 8-2. Bloomsburg was
third at 7-3.

by the scores of 7-6, and 4-3.
Clarion was able to bounce back
and split two games with the
University of Pitt-Johnstown,
winning 12-0 and losing 7-2.

In the first game against Cal,
Clarion took the lead in the fourth
when Nate Seegers hit a grand
slam. Cal would tie the game in
the fifth inning and take a one run
lead in the sixth.

Seegers almost performed some
more heroics when a potential
three-run homer was called foul.
Clarion was unable to post any
runs in the seventh inning, caus-
ing them to lose 7-6. David
Graham was charged with the
loss.

In the second game of the dou-
bleheader, Clarion got off to an
early lead in the fourth. Seegers
doubled. Haefner doubled and
Zollinger hit a two run homer for
the 3-0 lead.

But once again. Clarion's inex-
pierenced pitching staff was
unable to hold off the Cal bats.
Cal rallied to score four runs and
win 4-3.

"We need the bullpen to be suc-
cessful. We were playing well,

we just need to win the close
games,"said head coach Scott
Feldman.

Clarion next traveled to non-
conference UPJ for a doublehead-
er where they came out with a
split. In the first game Clarion
could only muster two runs
against a Division I transfer from
Marshall. Clarion lost 7-2.
Kristian Schmader was charged
with the loss.

§6

We need the
bullpen to be
successful... §§

-Scott Feldman

Clarion would end there three
game losing streak by beating
UPJ in the second game, 12-0.
Nate Seegers once again led the
way hitting another grandslam.
This helped Seegers to win PSAC
West Player of the Week honors.
Also contributing on offense is
freshman Matt Eppley. Eppley
banged out two hits and one RBI.

David Graham went to 2-3 on
the mound with the win. Graham
moved is ERA to 6.38, which
includes one save on the season.

Clarion next has two big con-
ference doubleheaders against
IUP late Wednesday and home to
Edinboro on Saturday.

Softball
starts
PSAC play

by Derek Pyda
Clarion Call Staff Writer

On April 6th, the Clarion Golden
Eagles softball team hosted Lock
Haven for two games at Memorial
Field. In the first game, Clarion
got off to a great start, when des-
ignated hitter Beth Rebholtz hit a
two-run homer in the bottom of
the first. Clarion pitcher Missy
Gring made the 2-0 lead stand
until the top of the 3rd, when Lock
Haven took the lead with three
runs.

Then in the top of the fourth.
Lock Haven got five insurance
runs. Clarion relief pitcher Kim
Overholt ,shutout Lock Haven for
the last three and a 1/3 innings but
Clarion was unable to mount a
comeback.

Missy Gring struck out four
while shouldering the loss (1-4) as
the Golden Eagles scored 2 runs
on six hits in the 8-2 loss.

In the second game, Clarion got
revenge. Clarion scored the
game's first run in the bottom of
the second inning when Leslie
Mills single drove in Erin
Gallagher. In the bottom of the
fourth, Clarion added two more
when Gallagher and Krishna
Strojny each had RBI singles.

Clarion pitcher Diane
Whitesides (2-3) went the distance
and got the win giving up only one
run on two hits and striking out
five. Clarion collected seven hits
in the 3-1 win. The split of the two
games gives Clarion a 3-7 (1-1)
record.

Mark Angle reflects on his wrestling career

by Bud Bender
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Less than one month ago. Mark
Angle closed out his CV
wrestling career with a 4th place
finish at Nationals. This closed a
30-4 senior year.

Angle a native of Eighty-Four,
Pa, attended Canon McMillan
High School. He began his
wrestling career well before this
at the age of five. He remembers
as a five year old learning by
watching his uncle, Kurt Angle,
who was eight years old.

"When I was at that age my dad
was the inspiration that pushed
me to make me what I was. My
mom was there for me too. She
supported and always cared for
me,"said Angle of his parents.

Once at Canon McMillan,
Angle began to flourish on the
mat. As a freshman he came in
4th place at the state finals at 125
pounds.

The next two years he would

continue to wrestle well but
injuries caused him not to cap-
ture the state championships.
However in his senior year, he
reached his goal winning the
state championships at 125
pounds.

Along the way to his state title
Angle competed nationally, win-
ning three junior national cham-
pionships. At the junior national
level Angle had to wrestle
freestyle a different style of
wrestling

Also as a fifteen year old Angle
wento to Turkey for the freestyle
World Championships. He
would walk away with a second
place finish. He would end his
high school with an amazing
149-02 record.

Angle then would come to
Clarion. As a freshman on a very
talented team, Angle would be
red-shirted.

"I realized once at Clarion that
you need more stregnth and the
competition at the Division I

level was nothing but the best,"
said Angle.

But this would not stop Angle.
Angle would train from April to

His work ethic sets
him apart from anyone
else,... 99

-cu wrestling head
coach Ken Nellis

March. In the summer, he would
workout with older guys who
were training for the Olympics.

He would also use a weightlift-
ing and running workout. This
formula of conditioning and
working on wrestling techniques
would payoff.

Injuries would plague his first
year on the mat. But he still

posted a 14-3 record at the 133
pound weight class.

Angle, heading into his second
year, wrestled better moving up
one weight class to the 141
pound class.

This is where he would make
his mark. He went 43-3 with a
fourth place at Nationals. In his
junior year he would again dom-
inate with a 40-1 mark. This
time finishing his eventual best
with a third at NCAA Division I
championships (Nationals).

His senior year was also a suc-
cess where he would post a 30-4
record and a fourth place at
Nationals.

But just as impressive as fin-
ishing fourth Angle would suffer
a knee injury late in the season.

But in Angle style, he showed
his determination by making it
back for EWL's. He would make
it all the way to the finals.

"His work ethic sets him apart
from anyone else. He was not a
total natural, he had some talent,

but worked very hard to accom-
plish what he has," said head
coach Ken Nellis.

Mark's career has been full of
successes. Up next for Angle is a
possible shot at the Olympics.

Courtesy of Sports Information

He is currently taking four to five
months off to rehab his knee
which he had surgery done on it.
Once rehab is over he will begin
training for a possible shot at the
Olympics.

Lock Haven track meet half completed?

by Meghan Pavuk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

"Even though our team was doing great, it sure
wasn't a happy trip," remarked track and field head
coach Pat Mooney on the Eagle's partial meet this past
Saturday at Lock Haven.

Despite the bad rain condition, Clarion's team arrived
ready to compete against IUP, California, and Lock
Haven. This sounds like the beginning of any other
meet; however, there was just one probelm: halfway
through, IUP started to pack up and head towards their
bus. This was followed by Lock Haven's decision to
cancel the remainder of the meet due to rain.

The men rose to the competitive level neccessary to
perform against their opposition.

In the 3000 meter steeplechase, Colin McGlone took
third place with his best finish of the season in 10:37.
Cross country, middle distance runner, Mark Tryzna,
also earned third in the 1500 meters in 4:09; only six
seconds from the first place finisher from Lock Haven.
Hurdleman John Dellich took second in the 110 meter
hurdles with a time of 15.87. Dellich went on to take
fifth in the high jump. Jumper and sprinter, freshman,
Dave Clark won the long jump with a leap of 21 '4 1/2.

In the high jump, it was Tony Morrow who took sec-
ond , skying through the air for a (6'2") jump. Morrow

also took fifth in the long jump.

Other performances that stand out include: Brad
Walker in the steeplechase, Jason Tubbs in the 110
meter hurdles, John Krol in the shot put and discus, and

Our team was competing without a
problem, and then the other schools
wimped out 99

-Head Coach Pat Mooney on the
cancelation of the rest of the

track meet

Rick Reese in the javelin.

The women also had exceptional marks throughout
the semi-meet. Highlights include Dariz Diaz's second
place finish in the 5000 meter, finishing in a 19:08.

Andrea Borek followed Diaz, and finished fifth.
Maureen Long dominated the 1500 meter by winning in

5:01. Her teammate, speedster Kelly Null, followed
soon after.

Heidi Shellgren also took second in the shot put and
fourth in the discus.

Liz Eury continues to capture first in the discus. Eury
threw for 1 13*5". Lisa Hamrick and Elissa Till, along
with a vaulter from Lock Haven, vaulted 7'6", resulting
in a three way tie.

Cheri LaFlammme and Miesha Henry in the 100
meters, Allison Ochs and Kristie Shoemaker in the long
jump, and Kara Emrich in the shot put also put in fine
peformances.

With Clarion placing and finishing like they were, it
is understandable the Mooney wasn't too pleased with
the way the "inclement weather" was handled. "Our
team was competing without a problem, and then the
other schools wimped out," remarked Mooney.

"Never has anything like this happened to me in forty
years of coaching."

Of course, the canceled meet didn't mark the end of
the day. As IUP and California headed for their buses
and Lock Haven aimed for the locker rooms, Clarion
remained on the track for a wet, tiresome Saturday prac-
tice.

As long as the rain stays away the team will head this
Saturday to compete at IUP against fellow PSAC rivals
Slippery Rock and Edinboro.

Golf team battling opponents and the weather

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion CaH Sports Editor

The big story of the golf season to this
point has been the weather. Two inches fell
on the Lancaster, PA area on Sunday forcing
the second round of play to be canceled at
the Millersville Invatational.

On day one play was also cut short after
nine holes due to heavy rain and hail. Thru
nine holes Clarion had shot a team total of
163. Ryan Peffer had the low round with a
39 on the front side.

Nine holes is not an official event accord-
ing to the rules. Therefore the competition
will not count towards regional rankings.
The tournament was too be held at Cross
Gates Golf Club. A major event in the
spring season, CU was to face off against

Regional rivals, West Virginia Wesleyan,
Shepherd, and Glenville State. Clarion was
also to battle the four other PSAC schools (
(IUP, West Chester, Millersville, and
Slippery Rock).

Next Clarion played on Tuesday at the
Slippery Rock Invatational at Armco Golf
Club. Once again a wet course and cold
temperatures plagued the twelve team field.
This would be only the second official tour-
nament of the spring season for Clarion.

Armco Golf Club is a narrow course with
only two par five's. Armco a relatively
short course played long in the wet condi-
tions. Clarion has struggled here in the
past. Their past results would prove to
haunt them as they finished the day with a
(329) total. This put Clarion in second to
last in the event in front of West Chester.

Clarion's number one man Anthoney
Tacconelli played the best shooting a 78. A
round which included Tacconelli finishing
the last four holes in one under par.

Junior, Mike Robb in his first tournament
of the spring fired an 81.

Junior, J.P. Kenney was next with an 82.
Unfortunately for Clarion two others in the
starting five struggled to 88's. This gave
Clarion a total team score of 329.

Clarion was not the only one to struggle
as nationally ranked Allegheny finished
sixth in an event they usually finish in the
top three.

Malone a NAIA school from Canton, Ohio
edged out the host Slippery Rock by one
shot to win the event. Malone's 300 total
was one better than Slippery Rock and two
better than West Virginia Wesleyan.

Sowa to lead 2000-2001 Student Senate Executive Board

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call
News Editor

Clarion University Student
Senate elected their 2000-2001
Executive Board at the Monday,
May 1 meeting.

Brian Sowa was elected
President after a debate with John
Shavulsky.

Sowa served as chair of the
Dining Hall and Housing
Concerns Committee during the
1998-1999 year and is the outgo-
ing Treasurer/Appropriations
Committee chair.

"I look forward to working with
next year's Student Senate. I feel
that we have a group of 20 very
capable Senators to represent the
student body," said Sowa.

"My main goal next year," he

Exclusive interview

said, "is to increase Senate's visi-
bility and inform the student body
of our overall purpose at Clarion
University. We are here to repre-
sent the student body not just allo-
cate funds."

"I hope to appoint an ad hoc
committee to work with the newly
developed Advance Team to help
improve community relations,"
Sowa said.

Sowa and colleagues will have a
full agenda ahead of them, includ-
ing planning of an ad hoc com-
mittee to discuss incorporating
the Board of Student Government
Presidents (BSGP) "Issue of the
Year" and to combat and create
diversity on the Clarion

U.S. Representative
reflects on state issues

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call
News Editor

U.S. Republican Phil English, a
member of the U.S. House of
Representatives, reflected recent-
ly on the past and future issues he
supports.

English earned a bachelor of arts
degree in political science from
the University of Pennsylvania in
1979.

In 1985, English was elected
Erie City controller. While as a
City controller English played an
important role in developing new
investment fund policies for the
city's pension funds.

Born and raised in Erie, English

was elected in 1994 to serve
northwestern Pennsylvania's 21st
District. This district includes
Erie and Mercer counties as well
as parts of Butler and Crawford
counties.

"The 13 million dollar sewer
bill was one of the bigger accom-
plishments I have achieved. The
bill helped to clean up the Presque
Isle Bay. It effected a good major-
ity of the region,"said English.

English said "I hate to claim
individual credit. I'm part of a
group effort rather than an indi-
vidual waving a wand."

He supports fundamental tax
reform and has been the spear

After a debate with Melissa
Gring, Drew McWilliams was
elected Vice President.
McWilliams said, "I want to make
sure the entire Student Senate
body is on the right track so we
can all work together to accom-
plish set goals in the upcoming

According to the constitution of

CSA budget approved for 2000-2001

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

Student Senate voted on Monday, May 1, to
approve the 2000-2001 Clarion Students'
Association (CSA) budget, pending the approval of
President Diane Reinhard.

In total over a million dollars was allocated to 76
recognized organizations as well as the Senate
Capital, Supplemental and Supplemental Reserve,
and Large Item Capital accounts.

Money for the budget is collected every semester
from the $1 10 Student Activity Fee.

Student Senate Treasurer and Appropriations chair
Brian Sowa said, "The CSA budget is very important
to the University and the student body. It provides
the necessary funding that is required to have our stu-
dent organizations on campus."

After an ad hoc committee was formed to work
with the yearbook to tackle issues of membership and
increase communication between the Sequelle and
various departments, Senate was allocated $9,000 for
the 2000-2001 year. Senate has evaluated the year-
book's progress through the last year.

"I would like to commend the Sequelle staff on

turning their organization around," he said, "I hope
there is continued interest and support for our student
yearbook in the future."

Clarion University Athletics was given a total of
$365,000 for the academic year. The largest amount
allocated to any organization, it comprises 35 percent
of the total budget.

Sowa said, "The Athletic budget was increased
such a large amount ($20,000) because of the addi-
tion of women's soccer next year."

"The Appropriation Committee and Student Senate
felt that this was an important addition to the athletic
program. Senate will continue to help the Athletic
Department work towards improving our athletic
program," he said.

A stipulation on funding was placed once again on
the University Activities Board (UAB). $144,965
was allocated to the Board for next year along with
$50,000 concert reserve account providing that
money be spent to fund a big name concert.

"$50,000 was allocated to the UAB concert com-

Showdown: Elian vs.
U.S. officials

The Elian Gonzales fiasco finally reached a point
where almost all of America had something to say
about it. This includes us, The Clarion Call.

There were some disputes on whether or not the
tactics were necessary, but everyone agrees it
needed to be done.

How many 6-year-olds have guns pointed in their
faces (safety on or not) during a middle-of-the-
night raid? And how many of them do you think
will end up on a psychiatrist's couch for the rest of
their lives?

A hearing will be held May 1 1 to determine the
fate of the boy, and it is still up in the air on
whether Elian will be able to apply for asylum.
Why has this even lasted so long? There should
have been no question on whether or not the boy
should return to his father.

Yes, the mother died trying to get her son to the
U.S., but that doesn't mean others involved should
suffer.

And as for the family in Miami... they knew it was
coming. They were perfectly aware of the conse-
quences of not giving the boy up. They were the
ones that invited the media in the first place, and
they knew violence would be used. Elian should
have been sent back a long time ago.

But one question that plagues us all. ..Why was
the fisherman in the closet?

Your Views

Time to reunite two nations

Dear Editor,

In December of last year, when the Elian Gonzales
saga was just beginning, I wrote that ordeals such as
his, and similar ones that affect many Cuban fami-
lies, could be avoided if the United States and Cuba
had normal relations.

Normal relations, full travel channels, reciprocity,
and an end to the embargo would allow families to
visit each other on both sides of the Florida Straits on
weekends, holidays, summertime, or anytime they
wanted. It would allow students to attend schools
here on F-l visas, travel, and participate in exchange
programs.

In short, the same courtesies that America extends
to nearly every other country in the world would be
available to Cuba, a nation that has historically been
close to the U.S., and needs to be so again.

It would allow two countries to regain their sanity.

If there is any bright spot of this sorry affair, it is
that months of political exploitation of the 6-year-old
Elian, and the continued withholding of the little boy
from his natural father has resulted in consequences
that the Cuban exile leaders in Miami may not have
counted on. It has demonstrated to an increasing
number of "other Americans" that the Cuban-
American community in Miami, or at least its lead-
ership, are not so much interested in the welfare of
Elian Gonzales as they are in exacting revenge and
vengeance for defeats suffered 40 years ago.

One does not have to be a communist or a social-

JMf='

ist to recognize right from wrong in Elian's case or
understand that the Cold War is over. The policies
that were in place during that time with regard to
Cuba seriously need to be discarded and replaced
with new ones that will benefit the general popula-
tions of both countries.

What still concerns many Americans, unnecessar-
ily I believe, is the presumed political and social cli-
mate in Cuba. Since 1998, 1 have visited Cuba three
times, and have led a total of 54 editorial writers,
newspaper publishers, and political cartoonists to the
island for a firsthand view of life on the island. At
least 53 of them returned to the U.S. convinced that
Cuba represents no threat to the U.S., and that life,
politics, and attitudes on the island are drastically
different (i.e. more positive) than the American pub-
lic is led to believe through the filters of isolation and
the Miami exiles.

As a former combat veteran and intelligence offi-
cer who fought against Soviet hegemony and politi-
cal interests around the world during the Cold War, I
believe my "credentials" are as solid as any Miami
exile when it comes to having served the United
States in time of need.

However, the time has come for those of us who
fought the hardest during that time of Superpower
strife to extend the hand of friendship to Cuba, its
people, and even the leadership at all levels of its
government. During the Cold War, our countries

"...the young generations in

both countries are not

ready to inherit a game

whose dice were thrown for

the first time more than 100

years ago."

Ernesto Fidel Dominguez Mederos

Where There's a Will, There's a Way

Cuba, at first glance, looks like
a huge circus. Entire crowds are
moving from one place to another
with no apparent direction. There
are cheers of happiness and pas-
sion. From street corner to street
corner people seem to blur into
celebration. They are geniuses of
underdevelopment as they contort
themselves and double as trapeze
artists to squeeze into the unusual
buses.

But Cubans are much more than
this, and even more so if we focus
on the Cuban youth who are eager
to achieve, and to hate as little as
possible. A Cuban youth in 2000
is one who rides a bicycle over
long distances to get to class early
"because public transportation is
terrible," A Cuban youth works in
the country to help the nation, a
Cuban youth is one who wants to
travel and discover the world, one
who sits and talks with friends to
try and find a way of changing.

This world, throughout its his-
tory, has seen Cubans, on all five
continents, determined to change
regimes, replace owners, erase
injustices and pursue dreams.
Examples are Cubans involve-
ment in the Spanish-American-
Cuban War, World War I, the
Spanish Civil War, World War II,
the Cuban Revolution, the Cuban
Missle Crisis, Nicaragua, the

medical brigades in Africa and
Central America, Granada,
Angola, the case of Elian
Gonzales. Historians say that
Juan de Miralles, a Cuban born in
the 18th century, it was sent to the
U.S. colonies in 1776 as a repre-
sentative of Spain. Miralles, they
say, befriended the U.S. comman-
der, and even Washington's wife
took care for him in his dying
hours.

The Cuban Flag, to cite another
example, was designed in New
York in 1849 by exiled Cubans,
and was brought to Cuba for the
first time from that U.S. city.

They even say that a Cuban cou-
ple made a voyage on the fateful
Titanic, spending their last hours
in the frigid waters of the North
Atlantic.

These are but brief examples,
Cubans' links with the world have
almost always been determined
by the tensions between the 90-
mile-wide Straits of Florida,
which makes the gap between
Cuba and the United States even
wider.

Relations with the "giant of the
north," have frequently been
mediated by annexation, occupa-
tion, intransigence and intoler-
ance. The 20th century witnessed

u As leaders, we will

guide these next
decades into a new
realm of social and
economic reform/*

Leslie Suhr, Managing Editor

Our time together as The Class
of 2000 is coming to an end. We
are now preparing for that so-
called "real world." But, I think
we are ready for it. Because we
are the leaders of tomorrow.

Graduation is not a sad time for
me. Sure, I will miss all of my
friends. And, in some ways, I
will miss the comfort of old
Clarion. But, for me, it is defin-
tiely my time to move on into that
"real world."

While the thought of graduating
can be scary, we need to realize
that this level in our lives is mere-
ly a stepping stone into our
futures.

Life will continue to test us in
everything we do. But, what is
life without tests? If we aren't
tested and challenged in every-
thing we do, then what a boring
world we would live in.

Sure, we won't always like an
answer we get. We won't always
be pleased with a decision that is
made. We won't always feel that
we can continue to meet our
challenges. But, as the leaders of
tomorrow, we need to prepare
oursleves to meet these challe-
neges that will face us as we

enter the "real world."

We are the leaders not only for
our generation, but for the gener-
ations that follow.

As leaders, we will guide these
next decades into a new realm of
social and economic reform. But,
as leaders, this is OUR job.

Many people have helped me to
get where I am and pursue roles
that I wasn't sure about. I could-
n't have done it without all of
you.

Thank you mom and grand-
ma for being there to support me
in everything I do. I couldn't
have done it without you!

Liza, Kristy, and Ashley, you
are the best sisters. Liza, you will
make a great teacher... or case-
worker.. ..or rehab, specialist or
whatever you decide to pursue!
You have the traits to work with
people that not many others pos-
sess!

Thanks to the members of the
Student Senate and the CSA
Board of Directors. I have
learned so much from everyone
involved. ..more than any book
could ever teach me. Thank you
for giving me the opportunity to

Fraternity responds to
"bad press"

Dear Editor,

Hello. As the Vice President of the former Alpha
Chi Rho colony here at Clarion University, I was
highly upset by your failure to report the facts of what
really happened to our fraternity recently.

In last week's article you managed to state the
opinions of everyone but the fraternity members who
have nothing to hide and are being subjected to
ridicule because of your failure to report the facts of
our "cease-operation" order.

First of all, you have interviewed Dr. Postlewaite
who claims that we have not been at IFC meetings or
participated in University events. Well, let me tell
you that we had members present at IFC meetings
regardless of the fact that we are not permitted to par-
ticipate in them. As for activities, we are not permit-
ted to partcipate in those either. In fact what
exactly does the IFC advisor do? I have been at IFC
meetings and have rarely even seen Dr. Postlewaite.
If you ask me, we should fire him.

As for the National Fraternity of Alpha Chi Rho
and their false accusations of our being shut down as
a result of having illegal parties and underage drink-
ing. These accusations hold no factual proof and are
merely fabricated to give reason to abandon the
colongy here at Clarion.

The real reasons for our being "shut down" are
extremely obvious. Bad publicity for Clarion fraterni-
ties has led to a demand for action by the University.
And who else would be better to take the wrap but the
newest unchartered fraternity in Clarion?

The National Fraternity cannot shut down a colony
for unfortunate incidents which involve criminal
charges against non-members of the fraternity.
Therefore, they have to come up with these false alle-
gations to justify their response to their need to rid
themselves of bad publicity. After all, the National
Fraternity is a business, and shootings and stabbings
are bad for business.

Allow me to also mention some facts that should be
looked up. The former Alpha Chi Rho house on Fifth
Avenue is a private-owned residence, not a property
of the National Fraternity. Also, the press has failed
to recognize that the members of the fraternity have
been the victims all along. Last semester, Richard
Blose, who is not even a Clarion University student,
came to our house with a gun and began shooting.
He has recently been convicted for this. Earlier this
semester a man came to our house and stabbed two of
the brothers who live in the house. Matthew Clapper,
who is also not a Clarion University student has been
charged with two counts of attempted murder and is
awaiting trial.

I forgot to mention the accusations of illegal parties
and underage drinking have no factual evidence
behind them. They were never any arrests made nor
did the police ever visit the Alpha Chi Rho house in
regard to any problems as such.

Sincerely,

Rocco Triuarelli

Former Vice President of Alpha Chi Rho

jManaging Editor's Note:

The Clarion Call reported the decision made by
your nationals. We reported the facts that were given
to us. By reporting this information, we are not say-
ing that we are in agreement with any decisions.

We made attempts to contact current members of
AXP. No current information was available from
IFC. This is why we were unable to contact you.

I agree with you, however, that there really hasj
been no focus or coberage on the non-student mem-
bers that caused several disturbances at your house.
Why are these people even hanging out at college!
house parties if not to start trouble?

I hope this allows you to get your side of the storyj
out to the public.

and each side has its share of "victories and defeats."

Fortunately, when we look back on the adversity
and the struggles that took place in the Cold War
between Cuba and the U.S., we can be thankful that
neither side inflicted on the other the vast carnage
that took place in the Korean or Vietnam Wars.

That is not to say that along the way, in some of
the secret conflicts as well as the more public skir-
mishes, Americans and Cubans did not inflict harm
against each other. It was not the wholesale physical
destruction that I have seen in Indochina,
Afghanistan, Angola, Lebanon, and a dozen other
places where politics have gotten far out of hand dur-
ing both internal civil wars and international con-
flicts.

Whatever the politics of our two countries, be it

socialism or American-style democracy, both nations
deserve the honor of self-determination and sover-
eignty with regard to making their own choices on
how to live. If we have people in our societies who
disagree on issues or politics, the proper manifesta-
tion for those disagreements is through open discus-
sions, - direct negotiations, calm talks, friendly
debates, and mutual contact.

The separation between Elian Gonzales and his
father, Juan Miguel, went on for five months too
long. The separation between the U.S. and Cuba and
the psychological damage that has occurred over 40
years, has also gone on far too long.

Now that father and son are reunited, it is time to
reunite Cuba and the United States.

CIA officer, and veteran of foreign wars.

Cubal A Cuban student looks at the Elian Gonzales
situation and relations between Cuba and the United States,
from Page 3.

the most visceral hate between the two governments, while the
growing distance weakened the desires and efforts toward rec-
onciliation.

But what's certain is that with the passage of time and with
the thawing of the Cold War, the youngest Cubans have slowly
forgotten the memory of the secular intolerance and burdens of
an increasingly distant past. And everything seems to indicate
that on the other shore, U.S. youth have changed similarly.

In recent years, student exchanges have increased between
both countries. U.S. youth, can with special permission, travel
to Cuba and see for themselves what Cuba is like. Cubans, not
as fortunate, receive and welcome them as if nothing had ever
happened. Each group is interested in finding out how the other
thinks, and they're even surprised when they discover that both
listen to the Beatles, Company Segundo, Frank Sinatra, Benny
More, the Backstreet Boys, or Buena Vista Social Club.

Sports also seem to be an expression of cultural exchange.
The Tommies from the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota,
for example, discovered, a few months ago, the uncommon
warmth of Cubans and a special desire for profound friendship.
And even though the true exchange may not confine itself to
their experience with the University of Havana, the most impor-
tant fact is the need to continue discovering how our cultures
were created.

What's true is that time cures everything, and that the young
generations in both countries are not ready to inherit a game
whose dice were thrown for the first time more than 100 years
ago.

The turbulent w. ters of the Straits of Florida, have begun to
feel the change. Meanwhile, on the other two shores, the peo-
ple continue moving about from one place to another with no
apparent direction, blur beneath the sun, climb the buses, cheer
with passion and happiness and begin, finally, to look toward
the horizon.

be a leader!

My professors have taught me so much both in and out of the classroom. Dr. Barlow, thank you for push-
ing me to stay involved in the Call. It paid off in the long run. Dr. Larson, I am glad to be graduationg at the
same time that you are retiring. The Comm. department won't be the same without you. I will miss seeing
you and your wife at the movie theater on Friday nights. Dr. Spina, thank you for staying dedicated to the
language department. I hope that you get the support that you need.

Good luck to Brian, Drew, Ben, and Bill as you begin your endeavors as the new officers of the Student
Senate. Teamwork is what makes things so much easier!

Thank you to the Clarion Call for letting me have the opportunity to work with all of you. It's so great to
work with so many talented people. You have all taught me so many new skills. Jen, you have proven how
dedicated you are to being involved with the Call. Thanks for the extra help. You will be a great Managing
Editor.

Maria, you have so many wonderful talents and will be great in whatever you do! Ever since we met on
our trip to Costa Rica, we've been friends. Thank you for having a wonderful set of ears.

"D", we've been friends for quite some time now, and even though we don't see each other all that often,
we still manage to know what's going on in each other's lives. Say hi to Ma and Pa for me!

To the boys at 733C, thanks for all of the laughs and letting me vent (all the time!). Oddis, I have known
you since high school, and you have always been a good friend. Thanks for all the laughs.

Becky, who cares what they say? You will be a great teacher. You are so creative with everything you do!
Jackie, good luck with your last year.

Angela, we did it! It may have taken longer than four years, but it was worth it! Thanks for being such a
good friend. Congratulations on your internship!

Tyler, thanks for being my listening post! I am so proud of you for pursuing your dreams. I know some-
times I want to lose my mind, but you are always there to support me and get me through the tough times.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your family.

Clarion University has been my home for several years. Now, I will be be moving on to that "real world"
everyone talks about and challenging myself to pursue the dreams for which I have worked.

thing that hangs down in the back of your throat. Just some useless trivia for you.

V is for "Vanishing Point." Hope you enjoyed 'em. If you didn't, then just f-f-f-f-fade away, to quote The
Who.

W is for "Willy the Water Bug." Was I the only kid that had one of these? Man, that plastic insect was
happenin'.

X is for "X-Fest," which people keep on buggin' me to go to. But who needs to hear "Little Black
Backpack" live (let alone on radio)?

Y is for "Yawning." I'll be doing this a month into break, when my only entertainment option is a "Behind
the Music" on Motley Crue. Oh, that crazy Tommy Lee.

Z is for "Zima." Their commercials make it seem like the perfect summertime drink (if you can get past
the fact that it tastes like butt sweat).

Well, it's been an entertaining year, to say the least. Here's my last few shout-outs. Dave, Pat, and Omar:
well, we're the last remaining "Bally Boyz," and it's been a rocky road to stardom. One thing's for sure - our
story will make a great Behind the Music (if you smell what The Blair is cookin').

Chea, Mikey O'Shea, Craig, Jake, and of course Sheesley: it's a shame I didn't meet you guys 'till second
semester. I never thought I'd be sad to leave the dorms. Enough with the Kodak moment - never underesti-
mate the mind-expanding powers of the "Myock." Oh yeah - "Livi-livi-livin' large Timmy!! Go Timmy,
go!" Thanks for helping combat the pranksters, and of course, for Sheesley's shopping list. I'll visit for
South Park Wednesdays next year.

To all my brothers, I have one thing to say: the bathroom will never be the same again. Oh yeah, the tag
team of "Flip and Skip" will dominate at the house next year. Just start working out, Skip. Jeff, thanks for
teaching me the ways, and I regret that I won't be in the office next year to bug you.

Amanda, you could probably smuggle me to England this summer in some luggage - I'm skinny, it'd work
(besides, you know you'll miss the Downey, Jr. jokes). Getting past my jealousy for a second, remember that
Robert Downey Jr. is a complete screw-up, never to eat or look directly at Spam, and that me, the V-man, and
Special K send their love. Honestly though, I want to say that this semester has been so much more enrich-
ing, enlightening, funny, and enjoyable since I've met you. I'll miss you over the summer while you're hav-
ing tea and crumpets. Have a blast, or something, you know?

Finally, thanks to all my faithful fans and readers (especially those at the Phi Sigma Sigma house. Sorry
that I'm "retiring," Kylene). If it wasn't for you people laughing at my stupidity, I'd just be a dork, instead
of a funny dork. I'm glad you enjoyed my goofiness this year. The biggest thanks to my most rabid fan by
far, none other than Mum. Please don't kill me when I can't find a job this summer.

Thoughts For The Week:

"He's walking around in this dress that she wore; she is gone but the joke's the same." - The Psychedelic
Furs.

Just a reminder that you always leave an impact on people when you're gone, no matter how small, and I

hope that mine was pleasurable. Goodbye.

Fire suppression systems planned to begin in Becht Hall

by Leslie Suhr
Clarion Call Managing Editor

The State System of Higher
Education's Board of Governors
approved a plan aimed at requir-
ing sprinklers or other automatic
fire suppression systems to be
installed in all of the residence
halls on all campuses of the 14-
state owned universities.

The action taken by the Board
calls for the development of a
comprehensive policy on resi-
dence hall fire safety. Pending
completion of that policy, system
universities will be required to
take the following steps:
^install automatic sprinkler or
other fire suppression systems in
all new residence halls and as a
part of any major renovation of
any existing residence halls;
^install fire suppression systems
as soon as possible in all student
residence halls constructed more
than ten years ago that include
wooden frames or stop using
these facilities as student housing;

*and prepare and submit to the
Chancellor by October 1, a five
year plan for installing automatic
fire detection systems in all halls.
Such action would bring the
buildings into compliance with
new statewide building codes.

Dr. Barry Morris, Director of
Residence Life at Clarion
University, said that Becht Hall
will be the first hall to receive
such fire suppression instruments,
as it is constructed with a wooden
frame.

"It is estimated that this project
will cost between $25 and $50
million statewide for such com-
pletion," Morris said.

Without any additional support
from the Commonwealth, the res-
idence hall fees charged by the
universities would have to
increase by at least $75 to $150 a
year to implement a program to
install automatic sprinkler sys-
tems.

"At Clarion, all rooms in Becht
Hall are equipped with fire extin-
guishers. All other residence

halls have extinguishers on all of and university dormitory and fra-

the floors," Morris said. ternity and sorority house fires.

According to information cited There was a residence hall fire

by the National Fire Protection at Clarion in 1980. A student was

Liz Potter/The Clarion Call

The State System of Higher Education's Board of Governors
approved a plan requiring sprinklers or other automatic fire
suppressions to be installed in all residence halls. Becht Hall
will be one of the first residence halls on the Clarion University
campus to fulfill this proposal.

Association, between 1980 and
1996 there were 17 deaths nation-
wide as a result of school, college

smoking and the bed caught on
fire. One student perished in that
fire.

At least three bills related to the
issue of campus fire safety have
been introduced in the state legis-
lature in recent months. Two of
those would establish low-interest
loan funds that universities could
use to help reduce the cost of
sprinkler installation.

Each of the SSHE school's has
active fire safety training and edu-
cational programs for students.
Fire drills are held frequently and
university police and residence
hall staff are trained on proper
evacuation procedures.

There are 147 residence halls
managed and operated by the
State System, which provide
housing for 33,000 students.
None of the residence halls are
currently equipped with automat-
ic sprinkler systems.

The Pennsylvania Fire and
Panic Code requires manual pull
stations on each floor of a resi-
dence hall, and automatic fire
alarm systems are required in
each building. Sprinklers are not
required.

Harvard graduate Ginny Thornbugh slated to speak at commencement

by Jennifer DeFazio
Clarion Call Assistant Managing Editor

Harvard graduate, Ginny Thornburgh, will be award-
ed the degree of Public Service, honoris causa, at the
Clarion University Spring 2000 Commencement.
Thornburgh will be speaking at both the morning and
afternoon ceremonies on May 13.

Thornburgh, a strong advocate for people with dis-
abilities, has spent the past 30 years devoting her time
to the cause. As director of the Religion and
Disability Program of the National Organization on
Disability, she has co-authored and edited many
works.

Prior to 1988 she taught third grade in Lincoln, MA
and also served as the Washington D.C. coordinator
for Operation Crossroads Africa Inc. She was also the
coordinator of the Programs for Persons with
Disabilities at Harvard from 1988-1989.

Thornburgh received a 4 year scholarship from the
Alcoa Foundation, and attended Wheaton College in
Norton, MA. She majored in philosophy and religion.

Thornburgh and her husband, Dick Thornburgh, are
themselves parents of a son with mental retardation.

Together, the two have worked hard to increase the
opportunities for people with disabilities. They have
strived to do this for people in their jobs, communi-

ties, schools and congregations. The couple have
made numerous visits all over the country addressing
their cause.

Thornburgh's most recent visit to Clarion University
was in 1997 when she was the keynote speaker for the

Barriers to Bridges Workshop.

The student speaker for the morning ceremony will
be Nathan Graham, and Kara Michele Kloss will speak
in the afternoon. Both will be preceded by outgoing
Student Senate President, Leslie Suhr, who will pro-
vide the greeting on behalf of the student body.

Nathan Graham, a Political Science/Pre-Law major
with a minor in History, is a candidate for the Bachelor
of Arts degree. After transferring from Gannon
University, Nathan was a Resident Assistant in Nair
Hall, and also Vice President of the Political Science
Association. Nathan plans to address the graduates
with lessons about life they have all endured.

Kara Michele Kloss is a degree candidate for the
Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education
with a concentration in Mathmematics. She has
served as an Executive Board member of the
Education Honorary Kappa Delta Pi, and presented at
the national conference in Baltimore, MD for the
organization. She is a candidate for Outstanding
Student Teacher of the year. She plans to talk about
the guides to success that a Clarion University educa-
tion provides.

Smaby announces
Bachelor of Arts pro-
grams require foreign
language proficiency

by Amy Thompson
Clarion Call Assistant News Editor

Dr. Beverly Smaby, associate professor of history, announced that
all B.A. programs require a second year proficiency in a foreign lan-
guage.

According to Smaby, if one does not take a foreign language, they
must take a class instead of a language, that has been approved by the
spec i tic major.

Smaby was not certain how the change came about in the student
catalog, since there was never any documentation stating that a vote
had decided such a change. In the next catalog, the correction will be
stated.

Dr. Fred Keen, associate professor of chemistry, announced the

Faculty Senate elections took place last week resulting in one less

Venango Representative. Senate will hold elections for one more

Venango Representative next fall.

ingness to serve" existed at Venango and that the real problem lied in
scheduling conflicts.

President Reinhard reminded everyone that this time of year is a
time of celebration and encouraged everyone to attend commence-
ment on May 13. Reinhard said that the commencement speaker
would be Ginny Thornburgh and that a student would also be selected
to speak.

Reinhard also announced her relief for the conclusion of the first
Capital Campaign, which she said Dr. Hallie Savage, associate pro-
fessor of communication sciences and disorders, was instrumental.

Reinhard and Savage reminded everyone of the Retirement Banquet
that will take place on Wednesday, May 10 from 4:00-5:00pm.

Dr. Anand Rao, associate professor of speech communication and
theatre, expressed how well he thought the Student Convocation went
on Saturday, April 28. He further thanked those Faculty Senate mem-
bers who attended for their support.

Dr. Mary Jo Reef also expressed how beautiful the convocation was,
but wondered why certain students weren't recognized. Savage, as
co-chair for organizing the convocation, addressed Reef's concerns.

Savage said that convocations seem very tedious. Savage said that
she would draw attention to Reef's concern for next years' convoca-
tion.

Curtis honored by Student Senate

Liz Potter/The Clarion Call

After a brief recess, President Leslie Suhr inducted the newly elected Student Senators. Brian
Sowa was elected Student Senate President and resumed the agenda, continuing with the
elections of the other officers.

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

Dr. George Curtis, Vice
President of Student Affairs and
Student Senate advisor was hon-
ored for his dedication to Student
Senate at the Monday, May 1
meeting.

President Leslie Suhr presented
Dr. Curtis with a plaque for his
16 years of service to Student
Senate.

"I work for Senate. It's a job
and I try to do a good job. I had
no expectations of receiving any
award for what I ought to be
doing," said Curtis.

"An advisor doesn't always get
the recognition that they deserve.
This was our way of showing Dr.
Curtis how much we appreciate
all that he has done for us," said
President Suhr.

President Suhr was awarded the
James Gemmell Leadership
Award. This honor is awarded to
a graduating senior that exempli-
fies outstanding leadership quali-
ties.

President Suhr was presented
with a print by Mary Hamilton of
the Gemmell Student Complex.
She was also given a monetary
stipend, and will have her name
placed on a plaque located on the
first floor of Gemmell.

"I was honored to receive the
award," said Suhr. "I feel like all
of my efforts have paid off and I
am proud the selection commit-
tee thought of me."

Interim Provost Dr. Joseph
Grunenwald presented Student
Senate with the proposed

Instructional Support Fee (ISF)
budget for the 2000-2001 acade-
mic year.

Recommendations for the bud-
get were solicited through
Student Senate at previous meet-
ings.

For the past several years, the
College 'of Business

Administration has placed their
allocation of the ISF into a fund
to save for a complete computer
lab upgrade.

The upgrade of the Still Hall
computer lab will be implement-
ed this summer and should be in
place when students return for
the fall semester.

(UAB) representative said, UAB

banquet will be held on
Thursday, May 4.

In other business, Interhall
Council reported 546 participants

Also, the Returning Adult and
Commuting Students will hold
it's spring banquet on Friday,
May 12.

Treasurer Brian Sowa moved to
approve the 2000-2001 Clarion
Students' Association budget
pending the approval of President
Diane Reinhard.

This is the first CSA budget of
over a million dollars passed by
Student Senate. Treasurer Sowa
said the increased budget was
due to increased enrollment arid'
the Student Activity Fee increase.

He also opened discussion con-
cerning the proposed Athletic
Enrichment Fee.

Treasurer Sowa presented a
rough draft of the proposed fee to
Student Senate. Currently the
one-time fee if passed would
charge incoming freshmen and
transfer students $30.

Treasurer Sowa said, "I pre-
sented the rough draft of the fee
to Dr. Diane Reinhard, Mr. Bob
Carlson, and Mr. Harry Tripp last
week. Jt has since been dis-
cussed in the President's
Executive Committee. I have
been informed that it would not
be possible to have this fee
passed and in place for the fall
billing."

Student Senate came to a gen-
eral consensus to charge incom-
ing Senate to continue to research
and pursue passing thesis propos-
al next year.

"There are still many questions
that need to be answered about
this fee before it can be imple-
mented," said Treasurer Sowa. "I
would hope to see next year's
Senate dedicate the necessary
time to see this fee through."

In other business. Senator
Bobbi Botherell chair of the
Committee on Rules,

Regulations, and Policies,
announced that The Clarion
Call's revised constitution would
go into effect immediately.

Following committee reports
the 2000-2001 Student Senate
was inducted into office. Twelve

incumbents to make up year's

Finally, Bill Isbir was elected by acclimation to the
Parliamentarian position.

"I just hope that I can fill the shoes left by Mike

The final organization affected
by this year's budget is the
Marching and Symphonic Band.
They were allocated $37,350
again because of failure to attend
all close conference football
games.

"In last year's budget the
Marching Band was informed
that they would be required to
attend all PS AC West
Conference football games,"
Sowa said, "The committee
became aware that the Marching
Band did not attend the football

always going to be liked." Sowa
said, "I feel however that the
committee members dealt with
and took the entire student
body's best interest into consid-
eration."

"I would like to thank this

Committee for their dedication
and hard work" he said.

Members of the Appropriations
Committee were chair Brian

Senate.

"I hope to improve the lines of communication not
only within Student Senate but through the entire
student body," said McWilliams.

Sowa will turn appropriations business over to Ben
Chervenak, who was elected after a 20-minute
debate with Andrew Barnes. "I want to follow the
constitution and its guidelines more strictly than in
the past," said Chervenak.

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 con-
junction with the Appropriations Committee, the
Student Activity Fee budget for the 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 member of the Executive Committee of the Student
Senate.

Chervenak said, "My goals are to educate more stu-
dents and organizations on the appropriations
process and what the Student Senate does as a

and periodically review the constitution of the
Clarion Students' Association and the CSA Student
Senate By-Laws and make recommendations for
revisions and changes when needed.

Other duties include keeping all standing commit-
tee chairs aware of their responsibilities of each
standing committee, including the number of mem-
ber on each standing committee according to the
CSA Student Senate By-Laws and assisting the
Committee on Rules, Regulations, and Policies with
the constitution s and by-laws of CSA recognized
and approved organizations.

"I also look forward to working with the Executive
Committee and the rest of Senate for a fun and pro-
ductive year," he said.

Compensation will be given to the president, vice
president, and treasurer next year. The stipend is 50
percent of tuition for the President, 25 percent of
tuition for the Vice President, and 25 percent of
tuition for the Treasurer.

This newly created stipend will enable the three
Senators to use the money towards tuition, books, or
any other expenses they deem appropriate. The
stipend will be awarded to the officers after each
completed term in office and will be reimbursed for
time actually spent working in the Student Senate
office. A term is defined as a semester. The stipend
payments will be at the end of each semester. This
stipend was funded from the Student Activity Fee
and is included in the budget request.

Four Clarion

by Maria Massie
Clarion Call Secretary

Staff members of Clarion University of
Pennsylvania received various ADEPTT
(Advancing the Development of
Educators in Pennsylvania through
Technology Training) grants.

Recipients include: Dr. Joanne
Washington, associate professor of com-
munication; Dr. Gerald Thomas, associate
professor of anthropology/

geography/earth science; Dr. Vickie
Harry, associate professor of education;
and Dr. Elaine Carbone, associate profes-
sor of mathematics.

Washington and Thomas along
with Phyllis Morrow and Kim MacBeth
from Clarion Area Elementary School and
llene Washington and Vicki Smith from
Arkwright Elementary School in Atlanta,
Georgia were recipients of a grant worth
$3,396.

Their project is known as "Cities and

ADEPTT

Rural Life: Through Our Eyes." The pur-
pose of this project is to break the stereo-
types between urban and rural inhabitants
while they are young.

Also, this project will allow for these
students to better understand issues of
race and ethnicity and for those stereo-
types to be broken. However, this project
is in the early stages and a web page has
not yet been developed.

Carbone and Phyllis Howard, who is the
team leader, John Fedak and Ed Weber of
Redbank Valley High School received
$4,997 for their project, "Technology
Integrating Mathematics and Science at
Redbank."

This project would utilize TI83+
Calculators in computer calculator based
labs along with probes to learn application
of mathematics and biology.

Students will conduct studies of the
environment, particularly the water quali-
ty of the river by the high school. This

data will be collected and analyzed to be
related to their lives.

The analyzation will teach the students
about the immediate surroundings. The
idea for this project is a continuous work
of Dr. Carbone and Howard from previous
works.

Harry along with Cheryl McCauley,
Jenean Smit, Barb Speer, Sonja Heeter
and the IU6 technology coordinator
received $5,000 for their project entitled,
"Establishing and Maintaining an
Elementary Website for Redbank Valley
Elementary Schools."

This program is an offset from TACK-
LE which was a grant that aided with the
integration of a website for math and sci-
ence. It will allow 6th grade teachers to
design and create a website that will con-
tain information about Redbank Valley.

New computers will be accessible for
the classrooms. This new system will
begin in the fall and will be aided by stu-

dent teachers.

ADEPTT is a cooperative program
between Indiana University of
Pennsylvania (main center), Edinboro and
Clarion University of Pennsylvania.
Slippery Rock will be used to test how
well the ADEPTT training can be used in
SSHE. The goal of ADEPTT is to
increase the usage of computer software
and web through basic and advanced
training.

ADEPTT was funded by a $500,000
grant from the Bell Atlantic Foundation.
Their goal is to provide support for pro-
jects and programs that will affect com-
munities through communication and
information management technology.

However, the Foundation will give pri-
ority for collaborations between network
solutions and enhanced communication
systems for education, health, human ser-
vices, arts and humanities and communi-
ties.

Summer Honors Program features "Edinboro at Edinburgh"

by Michelle D'Uva
Clarion Call News Writer

Two Clarion University of
Pennsylvania students have been
selected to participate in the State
System of Higher Education
Summer Honors Program.

Sophomores Stephanie Crane
and Brian Monico will take part
in the "Edinboro at Edinburgh"
program, coordinated this year by
Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania, from July 17th
through August 15th.

Annually, two students are

selected from each of the 14 uni-
versities in the State System to
participate in the six-credit, four-
week program. The cost of
tuition and fees are covered by
scholarships awarded to each stu-
dent.

Since 1985, the goal of the
Summer Honors Program has
been to provide a unique learning
experience for students.

"Edinboro at Edinburgh" pre-
sents students with the opportuni-
ty to travel to Edinburgh,
Scotland, where they will be
instructed by professors from
Edinboro University.

The itinerary includes two
weeks at Edinboro University,

because I think it will be a unique
learning experience in many
ways. I feel so fortunate to have
been given this opportunity," said
Crane.

Another Clarion student chosen
to participate in the Summer
Honors Program is Brian Monico,
a Communication Sciences and

featuring trips to nearby
Chautaugua Institution; two
weeks in Edinburgh, Scotland
(Edinboro's namesake city) as
well as one week in London.

Stephanie Crane, majoring in
Special Education with a minor in
psychology, is one of Clarion's
students to be selected.

She is a daughter of Robert and
Nancy Crane of Pittsburgh, and
^she graduated from Chartiers
Valley High School.

"I'm looking forward to the trip

Disorders major.

He is the son of John and Sue
Monico of Luzerne, and he is a
graduate of Wyoming Valley
High School.

Monico said, "I'm looking for-
ward to going to Scotland and
sharing the whole experience
with a group of new people. I'm
also anxious to discover a new
culture and to take part in the dif-
ferent activities and lifestyles of
Scottish people."

Crane and Monico attended an
orientation to the Summer
Honors Program, which was held
in Harrisburg on March 27th.

According to Crane, they were
given vital information pertaining
to the trip. The students were
able to meet the Edinboro profes-
sors through teleconference.

In addition, they were given
course assignments. The 28 stu-

dents who were selected had the
chance to get acquainted. Crane
said, "I can't wait to spend time
with the other students who are
going. All of the people partici-
pating are so different, and I think
that will make the experience all
the more valuable."

This summer's theme is the
"Scottish Enlightenment." From
this viewpoint, students will be
able to venture to the enlighten-
ment countries and explore other
19th century topics.

The program was designed to
reflect the thought of enlighten-
ment through more generally
defined disciplines and to encour-
age interdisciplinary curriculum
development.

While visiting Scotland, partic-
ipants will have the opportunity
to meet His Royal Majesty
Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh, who
is Queen Elizabeth's husband.

The "Scottish Enlightenment"
was a time when ideas in the sci-
ences, politics, philosophy, and
the arts were expressed to the rest
of the world.

Although Scottish enlighten-
ment figures are currently regard-
ed as early exponents of some art
disciplines, they originally
worked in these areas without
seeing their interests as distinct.

At least one of the two cours-
es required for the program will
contain an art component.

The University of Edinburgh
Centre for Continuing Education
has arranged theme-specific
interdisciplinary lectures by
Scottish professors.

East Stroudsburg University hosts final BSGP

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

The Board of Student Government
Presidents (BSGP) from the State System
of Higher Eduction met for the final time
this year in East Stroudsburg Friday, April
28 through Sunday, April 30.

Chancellor James McCormick provided
opening remarks regarding the hard work,
commitment and unselfishness of the 14
State System of Higher Education (SSHE)
School's student leaders. He said the
strategic plan and collective bargaining of
the fall did work. He also said SSHE was
able to attract and maintain quality facul-
ty. "Without good faculty, we can't have
a good system," said McCormick.

He said that students will be involved in
further discussions pertaining to the state
negotiating process.

Dixon, chairman of the Board of
Governors since 1983, will be retiring
after July 13.

Leslie Suhr, Secretary/Treasurer of the
Board reminded the Presidents that a
motion was made to pay for 14 rooms for
Advocacy Day. This cost would be about
$908.

In other business, a motion was made by
parliamentarian Bud White of Edinboro to
amend the BSGP bylaws. The motion
was tabled due to a lack of two-thirds
quorum.

Proposed ammendments to the bylaws
included the institution of an elections
process. The proposed amendment would
mandate that nominations could be made-

only by the Presidents. The proposed
amendment would make it necessary to
have a primary election, however, there
was debate on if this would be effective or
if a second election only be held if a 2/3
majority is not reached.
Further discussion was held on whether

includes limiting travel reimbursement
for the Presidents to travel to state related
business functions, outside of the BSGP.
Travel reimbursement would be limited at
those with the state system.

ness affairs.

Further discussion followed on financial
affairs policies. A proposed amendments

ed Filter. This was due to the importance
of the pop culture value and using the
Student Activity Fee in the best way pos-
sible for students.

gender equity in SRU athletic teams.

Currently, next year roster restrictions
will be placed on athletic teams. SGA is
investigating adding an additional women

Advocacy day in the capital

by Angela Everly
Clarion Call News Editor

Students, faculty, administrators,
and alumni of the State System of
Higher Education along with the
Chancellor James McCormick
urged state representatives and
state senators on Monday, May 1
in Harrisburg to support the 2000-
2001 appropriations request.

The System is seeking a state
appropriation of $455.1 million
next year to help fund the opera-
tions of the 14 state-owned uni-
versities.

This is a 4 percent increase of
the current state appropriations.
"In order for Pennsylvania to
remain strong, all of us must keep
working together," McCormick
said.

The appropriation that is needed
by the State System is to enable
the universities to continue to
offer the unique combination of
quality and affordability.

Governor Tom Ridge proposed a
$13.1 million or 3 percent
increase for the State System next
year. The legislature and the
Governor will determine the final
budget figures.

The state will also seek a sepa-
rate $2 million for continued
enhancement of programs in sci-
ence advanced technology.
"Many more innovative programs
are in the development stages
now, in areas including biotech-
nology and electrical engineering
technology."

Student Senate President Leslie
Suhr and Treasurer Brian Sowa
along with Association of
Pennsylvania State College and
University Faculties President Dr.
William Fulmer, and two alumni
representatives spoke with a staff
member of Republican Senator
Mary Jo White to urge her to sup-
port the request.

Lincoln Memorial

Brian Sowa/The Clarion Call

The Lincoln Memorial is a tribute to President Abraham
Lincoln and the nation he fought to preserve during the
Civil War (1861-1865). In 1911 , Congress authorized
the building of the Lincoln Memorial on the undeveloped
west end of the Mall. Construction took place between
1914 and 1922. President Warren G. Harding attended the
1922 dedication. Ten years later the memorial was trans-
ferred to the jurisdiction of the National Park Service.

Campaign Finance Reform addressed

Woman walks for reform

by A. A. Thompson
Clarion Call Assistant News Editor^

Campaign Finance Reform was addressed during
the April 13, general session of the Government
Affairs Conference held in Washington D.C.

One speaker in particular, a ninety-year-old
woman, made national news by walking across the
United States in order to call attention to Campaign
Finance Reform.

Doris Haddock also known as Granny D, present-
ed her views on the media today and the changes she
has seen.

"I know the newspaper business has a real chal-
lenge today," said Granny D.

Despite these challenges, there were two requests
that Granny D had for the audience of editors and
journalists. She began her speech by pleading with
her audience to ask the right questions when dealing
with any political issue.

Granny D's second request was for journalists to

Five other speakers took the floor during that ses-
sion. They included: Larry Makinson, executive
director of the Center for Responsive Politics;
Senator Feingold, from Wisconsin; Tamara
Sommerville, staff director of the Senate Rules
Committee; Robert O'Neil, director of the Thomas
Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free expres-
sion; and Dwight Morris, President of the Campaign
Study Group.

Larry Makinson gave an overview of certain "open
secrets" to Campaign Finance Reform.

One open secret that Makinson shared with the
audience was that "money buys influence." He

ill

A good newspaper is the heart of
the community. Cover the world. §§

-Doris Haddock
Also known as Granny D

remember that politicians often have so much ener-
gy, that they have energy left over for "other things."

When we take our eyes off the real issues, there is
always a price to pay, said Granny D,

Granny D was of course referring to the recent
Monica Lewinsky scandal. While the Monica
Lewinsky scandal was breaking out, Kosovo was
falling apart from international neglect, Granny D
said.

Granny D told the story of when John F. Kennedy
proposed to Jacqueline. According to Granny D, a
friend of Jackie's approached Jackie and told her that
John was a ladies' man.

Jackie responded, 'Yes, I know. Men are like that,'
said Granny D.

Granny D also said that there was a time when
"men didn't tell, women didn't tell, and the public
didn't ask."

Granny D closed that issue when she said, "We
don't need perfect leaders."

In her final remarks, Granny D said, "A good news-
paper is the heart of the community. Cover the
world."

Angela Everly/The Clarion Call

Nintey-year-old Doris Haddock also known as
Granny D presented her views on the media
today and the changes she has seen.
Granny D walked across 12 states in order to
call attention to Campaign Finance Reform.

stressed however, that money doesn't buy every
vote.

The next secret that he divulged was that it is "bet-
ter to have too much money than not enough." The
more money you have, the more likely you are to
have a seat, Makinson said.

Another open secret Makinson said is "It's getting
worse." According to Makinson, there are more
loopholes than ever in Campaign Finance. You can
accept any donors if they are nameless, said
Makinson.

Domestic Affairs

Gore addresses journalists

by Amy Thompson
Clarion Call
§ Assistant News Editor

Tipper Gore addressed domestic
issues when she made a guest
appearance on April 14, at the
Government Affairs Conference
in Washington D.C.

Gore began her presentation by
pointing out today's economic
prosperity. She also said that not
everybody is feeling the fruits of
that prosperity.

On the topic of school safety, she
encouraged more family involve-
ment. According to Gore, kids tell
her that they feel there is a lack of
family time. Gore also told the
story of the fathers who served as
the security guards at one elemen-
tary school. The kids felt safer
and they loved the fathers'
involvement, said Gore.

She also went on to quote Martin
Luther King Jr. when she said,
"We find ourselves living elbows
together but hearts apart."

Gore also said that she and her
husband have an interest in the
newspaper business. She and her
husband actually met while work-
ing for the same newspaper, The
National Tennessean.

Gore was working as the pho-
tographer, while her husband was
a news writer. Gore said of her
and her husband, "We loved
working together to capture the
strength and dignity of the people
of these times."

Gore was born and raised as
Mary Elizabeth in Virginia. She is
an advocate for healthy living,
families, women, and children.

In a following session. Senate
Majority Leader, Trent Lott, a
Republican from Mississippi,
covered leading issues that are
dominating the Congressional
Agenda.

Lott was adament about elimi-
nating the death tax. In fact, he
said that he wouldn't leave the
Senate (voluntarily) until the
Death tax was gone.

He also hopes that Social
Security will be spent on nothing
but Social Security. He told the
story of his mother who will even-
tually have to depend on him. She
gets $850 per month and her
expenses are $2000, said Lott.

Lott also said that the IRS needs
to be torn out by its roots and it

He mentioned the positive
improvements that Senate
achieved this year, including a
crop insurance bill that was
passed. Forty billion dollars also
went to improve the safety of the
airlines.

Lott expressed his desire for
bankruptcy reform and more com-
puters in the classroom.

He has a strong desire for the
Teacher Relief Act. The Teacher
Relief Act will allow teachers a
tax deduction whenever they per-
sonally buy supplies for the class-

LOSE 20 POUNDS
IN TWO WEEKS!

Famous U.S. Womens' Alpine Ski Team Diet

During the non-snow off season the US Womens'
Alpine Ski team members used the "Ski team" diet to lose 20
pounds in two weeks. That's right - 20 pounds in 14 days! The
basis of the diet is chemical food action and was devised by
a famous Colorado physician especially for the US Ski Team.
Normal energy is maintained while reducing. You'll keep full -
no starvation - because the diet is designed that way. It's a
diet that is easy to follow whether you work, travel or stay at
home. ( For men too!)

This is honestly a successful diet. If it weren't the US
Ski Team wouldn't be permitted to use it! So give yourself the
same break the US Ski Team gets. Lose weight the proven
way. Even if you've tried all of the all the other diets, you owe
it to yourself to try the US Womens' Ski Team Diet. Order
today! That is if you really do want to lose 20 pounds in two
weeks. Tear this out as a reminder.

Candidates 'forum

Presidential candidate addresses trade

by Brian Sowa
Clarion Call Circulation Manager

At the National Newspaper Association
Government Affairs Conference in Washington D.C,
independent presidential candidate Pat Buchanan
spoke at the candidates' forum. Buchanan was the
only candidate intived to speak at the event. While
Vice President Al Gore and Governor George W.
Bush were unable to attend the event.

Brian Sowa/The Clarion Call

Independent Presidential Candidate Pat
Buchanan discusses current relations with the
Republic of China and proposed changes
that he would like to make.

Buchanan opened his speech by discussing the
United States current relations with the Republic of
China, and how he would change current policies
practiced by the Clinton Administration.

"The Republic of China is not a free trader, they are
also not fair traders," said Buchanan. "Beijing does
deserve to receive most favored nation status with
the United States."

Most favored nation status is a clause in interna-
tional trade treaties under which the signtories
promise to extend to each other any favorable trading
terms offered in agreements with third parties. China
currently buys one percent of United States exports,
where as the United States buys over 40 percent of
China's exports. This has created over a 70 million-
dollar trade surplus for China with the United States.
Buchanan was also very concerned with the fact
that China is currently rapidly building up their mil-
itary while the United States continues to decrease
their military's budget. In recent years, China has
bought numerous surplus Soviet destroyers.
Destroyers that Buchanan specultes will be used
against the United States' 7th Fleet, which operates
in the region.

China has also begun to repidly stock up on short-
range missiles that may be used against the island of
Taiwan. China curretnly has over 200 of these mis-
siles pointed at Taiwan. It is believed that this num-
ber will grow to over 650 in the near future.

Taiwan's government believes that nation to be a
free republic, where as China still considers the small
island 100 miles off their coast a province.
Buchanan theorizes that eventually China will have
these types of longer-range missiles pointed at the
United States.

"The purpose of these missiles is to intimidate and
wage wars," said Buchanan. He said that the United
States need to protect Taiwan's rights and stand up
for the island nation.

Buchanan also expressed concerns over human
rights violation occuring in the Republic of China.
"There are Third Reich policies out of 1930's
Germany being practiced in China," he said. This
comment was in reference to the cultural genocide
happeining in China today. Most families in China
are only permitted to have one child. Buchanan
believes that we are subsidizing these practices every
time we buy something that was made in China.

Buchanan was asked during the open forum why
college age students should vote in the next election
and why they should support him for president.

Clarion University President Dr. Diane L. Reinhard
named Dr. Jospeh Grunenwald to the Provost posi-
tion at Clarion University.

Grunenwald has been the acting interim Provost
since September 1999. He was named to the posi-
tion following a nationwide search tor a successor to
the later Dr. John Kuhn. Grunenwald's appointment
is effective May 8.

"I am delighted to announce the appointment of Dr.
Joseph P. Grunenwald to the position of Provost and
Academic Vice President," said Reinhard.
"Throughout his distinguished tenure at Clarion
spanning more than two decades, Dr. Grunenwald
has demonstrated a strong commitment to excellence
and to advancing the university's mission of teach-
ing, scholarship, and service to its region."

He joined Clarion in 1978 as an associate profes-
sor. That same year he received the American mar-
keting Association's Doctoral Consortium
Fellowship. He earned professor status in 1983 and
in 1985 was elected chair of the marketing depart-
ment. On July 9, 1988, he was named dean of the
College of Business.

Grunenwald received his B.E. from Youngstown
State University, and his M.B.A. and D.B.A. from
Kent State University. He is a registered profession-
al engineer.

A Provost Search Committee was formed to evalu-
ate the candidates. Over 50 applicants applied for
the position. Faculty, administration, staff, and stu-
dents were involved in this process. Student Senate
Treasurer Brian Sowa participated in the open forum
assessments.

"I am very pleased to see that Dr. Grunenwald was
named the new Provost of Clarion. In my opinion, 1
felt that he was the most qualified," Sowa said.

In 1991, the Clarion Area Chamber of Commerce
named him Citizen of the Year.

"Dr. Grunenwald's many strengths are surpassed
only by his deep devotion to this institution. I look
forward to continuing to work with him in moving
Clarion University forward in the 21st century,"
Reinhard said.

Clarion University student displays artwork

by Jeff Say
Clarion Call J^itor-In-Chief

This past week the
Sanford Gallery featured the
works of Greg Brewer and
Susan Sternburgh. Both

artists specialize in graphic
design and Sternburgh spe-
cializes in painting as well.

Brewer's work is mostly
graphic design but his one

variety of eagles blended
together so that at first it is
unrecognizable except for a
distinct beak.

Brewer's homage to Chuck
Close is visualized in a
graphic design of close color
dots that when viewed from a
distance form the visage of
Foo Fighters founder Dave
Grohl.

Key to 3116 is a conglom-
erate of colors, lines and asy-

Photo courtesy of Greg Brewer

This is just one of many pieces that Greg Brewer has on
display in the Sanford Art Gallery, entitled "Linedogs."

piece entitled "NY, NY" is a
photograph of Times Square
in New York City. The image
is truly remarkable as it
makes you feel as though you
are in the 'Big Apple' looking
up at the skyscrapers.

One of his other works
titled "Musty" is a mixture of
photography and graphic
design. The piece is a
homage to the artist's early
1990's Mustang. The car is
printed in vivid contrast in
both black and white and
color.

Another of the pieces
which I was drawn to was the
"Blue Eagle", which is an
abstractists dream as it is a

metrical figures leaving the
beholder wondering what
door this "key" opens. In my
opinion it's the key to the
mind as it took everything to
find the shape of a key in the
landscape of the portrait. It
was a truly amazing piece of
work.

The piece of work that
struck me the most was the
"Eye of the Beholder". The
"Eye" made me feel as
though you are staring into a
void, but a shilouette in the
portrait makes you feel as
though you see a reflection of
yourself in the "eye".

I had a chance to sit down

and talk to Brewer and dis-
cuss his artistic side.

Artistic ability runs in
Brewers family as his grand-
father was an architect and
his father is a draftsman.
Brewer said he can remember
having talent from the begin-
ning, since he always doo-
dled in class and liked to
draw. His next step was that
he took pre-college classes at
CMU and had actual classes
in museums working on his
future skills of painting,
sculptures, and sketches.

His style has changed over
the years, Brewer said. He
began as realistic and used to
be a perfectionist so that
everything looked almost like
a photograph. He now works
more with the abstract mood,
his paintings are more broken
up. He stated that he still
does real life but in a more
cubist view.

The works he said he
enjoys the most are painting
and logos in graphic design.

His favorite work in this
exhibit is Key to 3116. The
picture is actually of a house
key, originally started as a
print, started style of taking a
realistic image and breaking
it up.

His hardest work is also
his earliest called "Mixed
Multi Media". He kept blur-
ring images on his computer,
playing with different ways
to distort his work.

Brewer ended saying, "I
really like seeing peoples
responses of my work, I like
this because it's real ener-
getic. I just like seeing peo-
ple's reactions, and I like
their perspectives.

Sometimes they're wrong,
sometimes they're right,
sometimes bring up ideas, I
haven't even thought of."

Music Reviews

Debut album from Dot Allison shows techno can be sexy

by Keith Gwillim
Clarion Call Lifestyles Editor

The realm of techno has
always been a strictly
club/dancefloor phenomenon.
The beats and grooves are
designed for the listener to
rave with; propelled by the
driving breakbeats and insis-
tent pulse of the grooves, the
dancer sweats away to the
sounds. Dot Allison's new
disc, Afterglow, is also
designed to make you sweat,
but not on the dancefloor.
Rather, in the heat of passion
in the bedroom.

Though it's certainly not the
first electronica record to try
and conquer this territory
(Enigma springs to mind), Dot
Allison does it with the best,
thanks to her virtuoso playing
and sensual purr. From wispy

ambient ballads, to shoegazing
dirges and even bossa nova,
Allison has crafted a record
that won't get your toes tap-
ping, but will get your hands
fondling.

Afterglow, while not a pure
techno album, is always
informed with splashes of
electronica and club wisdom.
Before going solo, Allison cut
her teeth in the Scottish ambi-
ent troup One Dove. The more
laid-back and trancey vibes of
that group are here, but mixed
with accessible pop songwrit-
ing, timeless and immediate
hooks, and above all, a healthy
dose of sexuality.

Allison is a post-techno
craze chanteuse, not possessed
of a terribly great range, but
putting her sighing, "come
hither" pipes to wonderful use.
She can sound as warm and

inviting as a crackling fire, as
in "Colour Me," when she
sings "Now we're sliding, it's

00T

ALLISON. :•
AFTERGLOW.

intriguing. ..you're in Heaven
now..."; or like an ice princess,
on the jarringly dissonant "I
Wanna Feel The Chill."

It also certainly doesn't hurt
that Allison is an even more
accomplished player than
singer. Throughout the album,

the young prodigy shows her
adeptness at everything from
keyboards, programming,
organ, guitar, and bells. She's
also lined up an all-star cast of
guest performers, most notably
studio mastermind Kevin
Shields, formerly of My
Bloody Valentine.

Shields' contribution to
"Message Personnel," (the
album's best song) is immedi-
ately recognizable. Clacking
synthesizers and gently sneer-
ing guitars slowly build into a
tidal wave of white noise, cre-
ating a circular and hypnotic
whirlpool of sound. All the
while, Allison coos contradic-
tory couplets such as "Don't
love me, don't leave me; don't
trust me, believe me." It's also
the album's most erotic cut,
performed with incredible
warmth and sincerity.

Elsewhere on Afterglow,
electronic stars Death In Vegas
lend a helping synth, resulting
in the 7-minute opus of slow-
burning passion, "Morning
Sun." The new age-ish and
world beat influenced track
climaxes slowly, as the sounds
drip into the listener's ears
like hot wax from a candle,
carefully applied by a lover.

Other disc highlights include
the epic elegance and sheen of
"Did I Imagine You?" and
"Close Your Eyes," and the
neo-bossa nova sounds of such
tongue-in-cheek songs like
"Mo' Pop." While the lyrics
may fall into cliches at times,
the music never does, provid-
ing for repeated and enjoyable
listens. Dot Allison has con-
structed a pristine and seam-
less album that dances to the
beat of love. 4 out of 5 stars.

It's all too easy to dismiss or ridicule
Pink Floyd's rock opus The Wall.
After all, this was the semi-autobio-
graphical work of a fabulously
wealthy rock star (Roger Waters), in
which our hero blamed his mum and
some nasty teachers and the oh-so-
dehumanizing grind of being a fabu-
lously wealthy rock star for his
screwed-up and depressing life.

And then there was that infamous
stadium show, what with the huge
inflatable piggies floating about, and
the band playing much of the second
set literally hidden behind a wall of
fake bricks. (Yes, people paid good
money to see this, and many claimed
to love it.)

But here's the thing: In their rela-
tively brief prime, the guys in Pink
Floyd were able to combine art-
rock's ambition with hard rock's
muscle, nicely minimizing each
genre's most obvious drawbacks in
the process. Which is a very fancy
way of saying that huge stretches of
The Wall simply rocked, a fact that is
driven home quite nicely by the
release of Is Anybody Out There?
The Wall Uve.

Recorded during the band's elabo-
rate 1980-81 Wall tour, this two-disc
set boasts a remarkably crisp sound;
the chest-rattling first few seconds of
the show-opening, "In The Flesh?',

are all but guaranteed to pin your ears
back and get you to sit up at attention.
Sure, some of it's still whiny, and
there are a few less-than-riveting
moments. But mostly this live col-
lection serves to remind that The Wall
earned its pop landmark status on the
basis of a surprisingly deep collection
of great songs, from the fierce

"Young Lust" and "Run Like Hell",
through the creepiness and paranoia
of "Hey You," "Comfortably Numb"
and "Mother." (Diehards will want to
know that this concert package also
includes two songs not on the original
Wall: the inconsequential "What
Shall We Do Now?' and a solid "The
Last Few Bricks.")

Later they became bickering old
dinosaurs who worked the oldies
summer-concert season, but for a few
years leading up to and including The
Wall, the guys in Pink Floyd weren't

really that silly at all.

What did the Lone Ranger really say?

by Dave Barry
Syndicated Writer

Here in the newspaper business
(Motto: "Eventually, we WILL find
your driveway") we have a strict rule:
We don't print ANYTHING unless we
know it's true.

Except for the horoscope, of course.
No offense, but if you take the horo-
scope seriously, your frontal lobes are
the size of Raisinets. Also some of the
comics are not 100 percent accurate.
For example, in real life, Garfield
walks on four legs. He's a CAT for
gosh sakes!

Also, to be honest, many of us who
work at newspapers don't hold opin-
ions that our newspapers express in the
editorials. Some of us don't even
know where these opinions come from.
They just mysteriously appear, like
Batman.

But basically we try to be accurate.
When we're writing our stories, we
don't guess about the facts. If we have
ANY question, we thoroughly check
the fact by taking a poll of journalists
sitting around us in the newsroom.

For example, if we need the name of
the U.S. secretary of state, we yell,
"Anybody know the name of the U.S.
secretary of state?" Then we listen to
the various opinions of our cubicle
neighbors. Only when we have care-
fully weighed their views do we pro-
ceed with writing the story ("The U.S.
secretary of state, a short little lady

possibly named Marge, said today

that...").

Yes, we have high standards for
accuracy. That's why -
despite all these new-
fangled inventions
such as the Internet,
TV, the telegraph, etc.
- surveys show that
newspapers remain the
most trusted source of
news for consumers in
the coveted demo-
graphic of People Who
Are Dead Or Older.

And that is why
today I am deeply con-
cerned about a letter I
received from a concerned reader
named Lloyd Peyton, who believes
that I made a mistake in a column I
wrote last year about my living room
being infested by frogs. In this col-
umn, I quoted the Lone Ranger as say-
ing: "Hi-ho, Silver, away!" According
to Mr. Peyton, this is incorrect. He
contends that the Lone Ranger said,
quote, "Hi-yo, Silver, away!" - in other
words, a "yo" instead of a "ho." Mr.
Peyton says that having the Lone
Ranger say "Hi-ho" is like having
Santa Clause go "Yo! Yo! Yo!"

This really stunned me, because I
grew up watching the Lone Ranger,
and I always believed that he said "Hi-
ho." I never questioned this. What I
DID question was how come he
thought that putting on a little black

mask would protect his Secret Identity.
I mean, if you put on one of those
masks, I guarantee you everybody will
still know who you
are. (You are a dork
wearing a mask.) I had
the same problem with
Superman, who put on
a pair of ordinary eye-
glasses, and suddenly
all the other characters
thought he was a com-
pletely different per-
son. (I bet they were
BIG horoscope fans.)

Anyway, to settle the
issue of "Hi-ho" vs.
"Hi-yo," I contacted
William Safire, who is the world's
highest-ranking English-language
authority who is willing to take my
calls. He did not hesitate for a second.
"Hi-yo," he said.

Next, I checked with various profes-
sional newspaper editors, most of
whom were certain, without even con-
sulting their cubicle neighbors, that
the Lone Ranger shouted "Heigh-ho."
In my dictionary, "Heigh-ho" is
defined as "an exclamation of mild
surprise, boredom, disappointment,
fatigue, greeting, etc." I find it hard to
, believe that this is the mood that the
Lone Ranger wanted to convey to his
horse moments after rounding up a
passel of varmints.

I also checked with various other
authors whom I happen to be in a very

bad rock band with, including Amy
Tan and Ridley Pearson, who both
said, "Hi-ho." (Amy noted, "In the
dubbed version in China, it was "Ai-
yo, Shrivah!")

Stephen King said: "Hi-yo. I used it
in Tt' (my novel "It," that is) and I'm
sure. My brother thought it was 'Hi-
Lo Silver, away,' but that makes zero
sense."

Other responses from friends and rel-
atives included "High ho," "Hiyo,"
"Ohio," and various versions that I
cannot print in the newspaper, because
they suggest that the Lone Ranger and
Silver had perhaps spent a little too
much time together alone, if you catch

my drift.

Anyway, having weighed the evi-
dence, I now believe that I was incor-
rect, and that the Lone Ranger proba-
bly said "Hi-yo, Silver" as he rode off
into the sunset with his faithful Indian
companion, who, according to my
cubicle neighbors, was named
Madeleine Albright.

But now I'm wondering: If I was
wrong about the Lone Ranger, am I
also wrong about what I believe the lit-
tle boy on "Rin Tin Tin" yelled to call
Rin Tin Tin ("Yo, Rinny!")? And what
about what I believe was the Secret
Yell that the boys on "Lassie" used to
signal each other ("Kee-ah-kee!"
answered by "Ki-yi-yi-yi !")?

Am I wrong about EVERYTHING?
If so, all I can say is, I'm in the right

business.

College and stress go together
like final exams and grades. One
always seems to lead to the other.
Test-time anxiety is hardly a new
topic, but what is interesting is that
more students than ever are report-
ing that life feels like its happening
in a pressure-cooker.

Take first-year students, for
example. According to UCLA's
Higher Education Research
Institute, a record 30.2 percent
said that they "frequently feel
overwhelmed by all that I have to
do." That number has been steadi-
ly rising since 1985, the first year
the Institute started posing the
question on its yearly survey.

Educators and therapists have
taken note of the increased stress
of today's students and are trying
to reach out to them to prevent
burnout and other calamities.

Dr. Robert Hatfield, associate
director of the University of
Cincinatti's Psychological

Services Center and coordinator of
its walk-in Clinic, said that
January through June is when
more students tend to seek coun-
seling.

"This is most likely due to post-
holiday stress, the increasing stress
of class-work and stress related to
balancing other demands such as
work or child-care," he said.

Kirsten Lupinski, program direc-
tor for UC's Campus Wellness
Center, says students could save
themselves a lot of heartache by
learning to say no.

"(Students) tend to want to be
involved in everything when they
first come to college and more
than likely will burn themselves
out on juggling school work with
the wide variety of activities
offered on college campuses," she
said.

"If a student were to ask my

advice, it would be to start setting

priorities. Do the essentials first."

Trouble starts - particularly

around final-exam time - when

students have let their basic
responsibilities slide. They
haven't chatted with professors for
help outside of class. They've
skipped too many classes or
ditched one too many assign-
ments.

To reduce stress, Lupinski sug-
gests students try the following to

ensure academic and emotional
success:

- Make to-do lists.

- Practice relaxation.

- Eliminate negative talk.

- Exercise regularly.

- Allow yourself private time
every day.

- Set mini-goals.

- Use visualization to relax.

- Eat a healthy diet.

- Learn to forgive and forget.
Kim Sheridan, a senior at UC,

said she routinely tries breathing
exercises and works from to-do
lists to make sense of the confu-
sion in her life.

"The list helps you objectify
your problems, prioritize, and,
most importantly, physically visu-
alize a resolution," Sheridan said.
"Your mind is a dangerous and
often negative place. ..this type of
writing enable you to literally

cross off one issue at a time."

Nazis that they've captured the Enigma,
which would thereby negate the entire

is to somehow squeeze enough power
out of the captured sub and head for

only one member of the crew can read
and speak German, a painful fact indeed
when all the instruments and control
panels are written in that language.

Some may find fault with U-571,
since the film relies heavily on action
and violence to propel the plot, sacrific-
ing any hope for character development
along the way. Of all the main charac-
ters, only Tyler, Dahlgren, and the Nazi
captain of the U-571 are given the
slightest hint of personality. The acting
is fine enough, but offers no standout
performances.

Overall, U-571 manages to keep itself

might actually lead to a string of war

The CU baseball team has won
six out of their last seven includ-
ing a doubleheader sweep of the
IUP Indians this past weekend at
Memorial Stadium. This now
moves their overall record to 15-
18 and 8-10 in the PSAC confer-
ence.

Their hot play began when on
April 24th Clarion swept
California in a doubleheader.

Our goal was to
make the last game
meaningful and we have
done that 99

-Scott Feldman

Clarion went out and won the first
game by a score of 3-2. Nate
Baumgardner got his fourth win
of the year. Clarion produced

some timely hitting with the run-
ners in scoring position. Clarion's
three runs were on nine hits in the
opening game of two. In the sec-
ond game Clarion kept the bats
hot winning 6-1. This time
Clarion jumped out to an early
lead that was never reliquished.
David Graham got his fourth win
of the year to even his mark at 4-
4.

Clarion's two game winning
streak would come to a halt when
they lost the first game of two to
Lock Haven 4- 1 . CU had a hard
time producing runs against Lock
Haven's solid picther Jeremy
Fischer. One bright spot for CU
was that Tom Kaliszewski hit his
first career homerun at Clarion.

Clarion would not be discour-
aged after the first loss. They bat-
tled back in game two to win 3-0.
Clarion jumped out to an early 2-
lead.

The Golden Eagles would add
an insurance run in the sixth on a
sacrifice fly by Nate Seegers scor-
ing Justin Nash. Ed Zollinger
would get the win on the mound.

Clarion baseball has two games remaining on Saturday. With
a sweep of Edinboro and IUP sweeping Lock Haven, Clarion

will be in a three game playoff.

John Mozzicio.

Nate Baumgardner got his fifth
win of the season. Clarion would
compete the sweep with a 8-5 win
in game two. Clarion came back
from a 5-3 deficit midway through

erence game against LaRoche.
LaRoche proved to be no match
for the Golden Eagles as Clarion
slammed LaRoche 13-2. Nate
Seegers would get the win in the
overmatched contest.

Two more games would go to the game. Jeff Brzezinski had a
Clarion as this past weekend big two run hit in the bottom of

Clarion beat IUP. Clarion scored
four runs in the third in the first
game against IUP.' The charge
was led by a two RBI triple by

the sixth. The two wins have got-
ten Clarion into the playoff pic-
ture.

Currently Lock Haven is 10-8,

IUP 8-10 and Clarion is 8-10. If
IUP sweeps Lock Haven and
Clarion sweeps Edinboro there
will be a three team playoff. If
this scenario plays out the three
team playoff will begin on Sunday
at Slippery Rock. IUP will play
Lock Haven at noon and the win-
ner will play Clarion at 3:00
Sunday.

All year long Clarion has been
getting some outstanding individ-
ual performances out of players.
Nate Baumgardner is up for pitch-
er of the year for the PSAC con-
ference. Baumgardner has com-
piled a 4-1 record in conference
play. On the offensive side Jeff
Stanyard, Justin Nash, Mike
Morgan, Nate Seegers, and Jeff
Brzezinski all are over 300 at the
plate.

"I'm very proud of this team.
Our goal was to make the last
game meaningful and we have
done that. We have to win our
games and leave our fate to the
two other teams. We will win, so
I guess everyone needs to root for
IUP," said first year head coach
Scott Feldman.

Eagles finish spring football

by John C. Crawford
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion University football
team has completed spring prac-
tices. Coach Malen Luke said,"I
don't think there were many down-
sides, other than the weather."

The team, coming off a 3-7 sea-
son, is looking to mature on
offense. Adam Almashy will return
at quarterback, as the team looks to
build its passing attack.

He had a solid freshman year,
winning three of seven starts and
tossing 12 TDs. Almashy's main
target will be tight end Andy Pore,
who caught 33 passes and seven
touchdowns.

Clarion will still fall back on its
running game. Doug Dudash came

on late in 1999, contributing 513
yards on the groung. Demteric
Gardner proved an all-purpose
threat, making 412 yards on the
ground, and adding several key
touchdowns.

The defense will have to fill sev-
eral holes. Most glaring is line-
backer, where all three positions
must be filled.

Expected returnee Ryan Presutti
has had a serious shoulder problem.
Look for Andre Williams or Kevin
Platz to step up.

The defensive line is expected to
be the key to the defense.
Defensive tackle Doug Diegel man
returns from injury to bolster the
line. One defensive end spot needs
to be filled.

Softball team closes out dismal season

by Derek Pyda
Clarion Call Staff Writer

The Clarion Golden Eagle softball team
closed out the 2000 season with four games in
two days against PSAC West rivals. On April
28th, Clarion traveled to Slippery Rock for a
two game set.

In the first game, the Golden Eagles jumped
out to an early lead with two runs in the first
inning. Diane Whitesides made those two runs
hold up, pitching seven innings of shutout
baseball while striking out six. Clarion added
two more runs in the seven to make the final
score 4-0.

Janet Irvin and Jessica Waldman each had
two hits. Waldman and Kristin Dinkel each
had one rbi while Emily Sowers had two rbi's.
The win improved Whiteside's record to 5-9
and Clarion's record to 8-21.

In the second game, Clarion again jumped
out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first.
However, this time Slippery Rock was equal to
the task. They took the lead in the bottom of
the first, scoring three runs. The Rockets
added one more in the third. Clarion was held
to two runs on six hits. Kristin Dunkel col-
lected two hits and an rbi in the loss while los-
ing pitcher Missy Gring struck out one. The
loss dropped Clarion's record to 8-22.

On April 29th, Clarion travled to Edinboro to
take on the Fighting Scots. The first game was
pitcher's duel. Clarion's Jessica Waldman and
Tiffany Lawrence collected the Golden Eagles
only two hits. Edinboro collected only five
hits but also all the games runs with two.
Losing pitcher Diane Whitesides (5-10)
pitched six innings, giving up five hits and two
runs while striking out four. The loss dropped
Clarion's record to 8-23.

In game two, Clarion broke open a scoreless
game in the fourth with two runs. Edinboro
tied the game with one run in the bottom of the
fourth and one more in the fifth. They took the
lead with a run in the last half of the seventh
which won the game. For Clarion, Charity
Lashinsky collected two of the six hits. Leslie
Mills and Kristina Strojny each had one rbi.

Losing pitcher Kim Overholt pitced six and
two thirds innnings, giving up three runs and
eights hits while striking out one batter. The 3-
2 loss closed out an 8-24 season for Clarion.

For the year, the Golden Eagles went 5-11 at
home, 2-10 on the road and 1-3 on neutral
fields. Their conference record was 4-16.
Jessica Waldman led the team with a 323 aver-
age. Emily Sowers led the team in homeruns
with four. Kristin Dinkel had the most rbi's
with 11. Diane Whitesides led the piching
staff with 72 strikeouts.

ming and diving team in 2000. He currently
has a 3.76 QPA while majoring in

ond place finishes.

by Megan Pavuk
Clarion Call Staff Writer

Clarion's Track and Field teams
have only one more major meet to
be held at IUP before the PSAC
Championship at West Chester,
the team is still going strong.

This past Saturday, the teams
had a long road trip to Ohio in
order to compete at Baldwin
Wallace's Invitational. Here, sev-
eral colleges from across the north
west part of the country competed.
It was a long day as over 150 ath-
letes attended.

"It was a good all day quality
meet and our team rose to the
competition to finish better there
than we ever have before," com-
mented head coach Pat Mooney.

Highlights for the women
include place and winning by
PSAC qualifier Maureen Long
and Wendy Kengor in the 800
meter run. Long also had another
quality performance in the 1500
meter shattering her previous

school record of 4:43.47. In the
grueling 10,000 meter race, quali-
fier Daria Diaz took second, and
Kristie Runk closed the book on
her eighth season of being a run-
ning eagle by finishing with a per-
sonal record time.

dles, finishing in 16.89. Melissa
Yearous, also a qualifier, contin-
ues to make her mark in the high
jump by taking sixth of twenty-
plus jumpers.

In the shotput, state qualifier
Heidi Shellgreen represented

Clarion with a throw of 39' 8.
This earned her ninth place of
forty-three throwers. Lisa

Hamrick tied her record vault of
10'O yet again while Elissa Till
followed behind, taking tenth.
Each of these vaulters will also be
competing at PSAC's.

For the men, a number of them
had notable performances. David
Clark and Nick Cucunato contin-
ue to make an impression on the
100 meter and 200 meter races. In
the 100 meter, it was Clark who
took sixth in 1 1 .05, and took tenth
among forty three in the 200
meter. Cucunato followed, taking
eighth in the 100 meter and sixth
in the 200 meter.

Another freshman, Zak
Lendyak, the only 400 meter run-
ner also finished strong for the
eagles in 53.26. Gerry Smith took
tenth in the 800 meter, finishing in
1:57, and his teammate Matt
Lapatka followed. 1500 meter
PSAC qualifier, Mark Tryzna fin-

ished in 4:08. Captain Jon Fox
took second in the 10,000 meter
race while hurdler John Dellich
placed in the 400 and 110 meter
hurdles.

Cross country runners Brad
Walker and Colin McGlone each
competed amidst the other twen-
ty-five steeplechasers, finishing in
10:25 and 10:46 respectively.
Pole vaulter, javelin thrower
Justin Wise threw 160'09".

In two weeks, the regular season
will end, and the state qualifiers
will travel to compete at West
Chester. In terms of qualifiers, as
a whole, the team has a total of
thirty eight athletes competing in
twenty four events.

Currently, in the nine events, the
men have twelve PSAC qualifiers.

"We are looking to finish better
than last year, in which we took
eleventh. The addition of an elite
group of freshman is really going
to help us out," remarked
Mooney. Other male athletes

attending the competition not
already mentioned are John
Dellich, Tony Morrow, Dave
Clark, Gilbert Todd and Greg
Wade.

As for Mooney 's hopes, "I am
sure we can only better our scores
from last year; I am really excited
to see how we do."

The Baldwin Wallace meet
marked an additional two female
athletes to the number of PSAC
qualifiers: Long and Till. This
brings the total number of female
qualifiers to twenty-six athletes in
fifteen events. This is the most
female state qualifiers Clarion has
ever had and Mooney as well as
the competitors, look to beat their
sixth place Finish from last year. ,
"Just like the men, we have
everyone back that scored for us
last year, adding the best bunch of
freshman to that will only result in
a better place finish,"added
Mooney. The other athletes that

The secondary will see only
one major shift. Roosevelt
Benjamin, who led the team with
four interceptions, will shift from
strong side to free safety.

"We wanted to put him in a
position to make a few more
plays/'said head coach Luke.

The team will return eight reg-
ular starters on offense, and six
on the defensive side of things.
A new kicker has to be found.
The team is looking to a good
recruiting season, plus several
junior college transfers, to make
an impact in the upcoming sea-
son.

The team will have to trim its
roster,of as many as 95 players,

to 80 before play begins.

Fortunately, we still got twen-
ty-nine practices in the
fall,"Luke said of evaluating tal-
ent.

The Golden Eagles will open
the 2000 campaign Saturday,
September 2nd. Bloomsburg
will come to Memorial Stadium
to kick off the season.

The first PSAC West game will
also be at home, as Clarion hosts
Shippensburg on September

The season will end at home as
well when the West Chester

This season marks the seventh
for Mooney at Clarion. Each sea-
son, the teams have only gotten
better.

With two more meets remain-

ing, Clarion has a record number
of qualifiers as well as broken
school records. "Statistically, we

had our best year against confer-
ence schools.

Prior to this season, we were
considered only to perform well

at smaller, dual meets. Now, the
combination of hard work from
the coaches, Linda Schirmer,
Dave Schirmer, and Tim
Williamson mixing with the best
bunch of willing kids, resulted in
us rising to become a champi-
onship team. I am impressed with
our regular season, and look for-
ward to our PSAC perfor-
mance,"added Mooney on the
conclusion of another season.

Mooney added," We will defi-
nitely miss a great group of
seniors, who have consistently
contributed only their hardest.
Hopefully next year our returners
will rise to fill our loss.

Tennis team takes on three tennis powerhouses this spring

by J.P, Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor

Clarion women's tennis team
lost all three matches it played this
spring. CU fell to Allegheny 8-1,
Grove City 7-2 and Walsh 7-2.

This was the first year Clarion
has competed in the spring.
Tennis, usually a fall sport, is now
developing into a Spring and Fall
season. The new PSAC champi-
onships will be held next spring
instead of the fall.

After two rainouts, Clarion
finally got its first match under-
way against Allegheny on April
18th Clarion was only able to
muster one victory against a very

good Allegheny team. #1 woman
for Clarion, Erin Glatz, won her
singles debut, winning in straight
sets 6-4, 7-5 against Jenny
Keegan.

"Glatz hit with a lot of pace in
the first match. The rest of the
women were a little rusty from the
lack of play. But I was glad to see
that we did not give up. We hung
tough in all our doubles matches.
I was also pleased to see Janet
Irvin get an exhibition match in,"
said head coach Lori Sabatose.

Clarion would next play on
April 27th when the Division III
national champs Grove City
rolled into town. Clarion played

well against their opposition.
Clarion posted two wins in the 7-
2 loss. Both doubles matches

Bobish won a tough 9-7 match

against Alyssa Bradford and
Wendy Carlson. Brandy Vukich
and Tonya Leed played well win-
ning 8-3 over Lisa Evans and Julie
Barber.

"Glatz had her best doubles
game ever in doubles. She played
her best net game ever. Brandy
and Tonya had great communica-
tion and teamwork throughout the
whole match,"said Sabatose.

Clarion closed out the brief
spring season with a 8-1 loss to
Walsh. Erin Burakow came up
with the lone win defeating Sara
Securre 6-1, 6-2. Burakow, a grad

student here at Clarion was the
assistant coach last fall for the
Golden Eagles. She played tennis
a year ago while at Bloomsburg.
This was her final year of eligibil-
ity.

"I was pleased with the way
everyone played. Everyone had
to be bumped up a spot due to
Erin Glatz being sick. Jen Spaid
played great being moved up to
the two spot. Brooke Vukich
played a good singles match. She
never ever gives up and that is the
right attitude to have," said
Sabatose.

I CLARIONS HOTTEST SPOT

by J.P. Kenney
Clarion Call Sports Editor^

A two day total of 627 gave the
Clarion Golf team a third place
finish at the Pennsylvania State
Athletic Championships (PSAC).
The conference championships
were held over the 6,200 yard
Bentcreek Golf Club in Lancaster,
Pa.

Anthoney Tacconelli led the way
for the Golden Eagles.
Tacconelli, a sophomore from
Landsdale, Pa, fired an amazing
five under par 66 on day one.
This was Tacconelli's lowest
round at Clarion University. A
round that saw Tacconelli score
only one bogie coupled with six
birdies. After day one he was the
leader by two over Millersville's
Chad Schlutze.

Clarion also got solid round out
of Adam Botteicher and freshman
Ryan Peffer. Botteicher from
AJtoona, Pa fired a 74 in round

one. He got off to a hot start
shooting a 34 on the .front side.
Peffer played solidly, shooting a
six over par 77. These three
scores coupled with a disappoint-
ing fourth score of 89 gave CU a
306 score and a tie for second
with Slippery Rock.

Clarion remained only three
shots up on the defending PSAC
champion MiUersville. But they
were only six behind IUP. IUP
had shot a 300 total for day one.

Day two saw the wind kick up at
Bentcreek Country Club.
Tacconelli would go on to make
CU history by the PSAC
Individual crown. Tacconelli shot
a 75 to give him a six shot victo-
ry. This was the first PSAC
championship won by an individ-
ual at Clarion since Joe Borsos
did it in 1983. Tacconelli went
out in 40 but turned it around with
a solid 35 on the back side for the
win.

"I am very proud of Anthoney's
66 but 1 am especially impressed
with his back nine closing 35,"
said first year head coach Al
Lefevre.

Just as impressive as
Tacconelli's second day score of
75 was the second best on a very
difficult scoring day. He finished
up the spring season with a 73.8
average.

CU also had good second rounds
out of Peffer and Botteicher once
more. Peffer played well, shoot-
ing a 79. His two day total of 156
earned the freshman all-confer-
ence honors. Botteicher also
earned all-conference honors
posting a 156 total as well with
his second day 82. Clarion would
add an 85 out of J.P. Kenney to
round out day two at 32 1 . This
gave Clarion a six shot edge over
MiUersville who finished fourth.

IUP captured the PSAC crown
by edging out Slippery Rock.
