The President's Perspective
by President Craig Dean Willis, Ph.D.
Fall 1993
Recently Toni Morrison, writer, essayist and Princeton professor, won the 1993
Nobel Prize in Literature. Only the second American and the first African­
American to earn the honor, \;lonison reestab lishes the recognition of our country's
writers as quali ty literary contributors. In a recent Lock Haven University presentation
by Dr. Asadullah Lari k, professor of English literature and vice chancellor of
the University of Sindh, Pakistan, Dr. Larik pointed out that other countries are
slowly attributing quality recognition to American authors. The United States is
historically very young, and American literat ure is viewed as being in its infancy.
Today a new generation is recognizing the importance of a strong, broad-based,
liberal arts education. It seemed to some that the race to meet the demands of the
technology age once distracted students from considering college programs in the
Arts and Sciences. In 1993, these two areas are not mutually exclusive. At Lock
Haven University, the College of Arts and Science strategically blends '90s technology
with traditional instruction.
In spite of dwindling resources, the College has been extremely effective in
integrating field technology. The Art Department provides sophisticated electronic
art instruction. Journalism students layout and design publications using
cutting-edge technology. The Math Department provides students with calculators
that go beyond adding and subtracting and into graph configu ration. Certainly
the career experience of faculty in the Department of Computer Science/ Ma nagementScience/
Accounting lends itself to the advanced teaching of new and changing
programs. The list could continue. No department within the College ha,
neglected the technological needs of our students. 1 credit the faculty's natuml
curiosity and desire to provide quality instruction to LI-IC's advancement in this
area.
Higher education needs to provide interdisciplinilry programs which encourage
students to consider all aspects of their surrounding world. Academe is
changing, and J am pleased to say that LHU has been ahead of its time in meeting
these needs. The College of Arts and Science has played an integral role in assisting
the University with its international mission. The Department of History / Political
Sciencc/ Economics/ Management Science has illwilys instructed with a world
focus. Faculty and student international exchanges have opened new perspectives
in the classroom as discussion about first-hand experiences in other countries adds
to the quality of the instruction. There is no denying the value of the experiences
provided through LH U's continued international outreach.
A somewhat unique ~s ]X' ct of the LHt Arts ilnd Science programs is the
emphasis on service and field experiences. Students in Biology, Chemistry, Physics
and Geoscience gain practical laboratory experience through resources in Clinton
County Our Theatre Department, through studio and mainstage productions,
provides hands-on opportunities for writing, directing, designing and acting.
Internships and service projects have made the Social Work program a leader in its
field. J'he program's recent re-accreditation reaffirms the value of these opportu­
Juties Experiences with clients and professionals help students mature and
become em pathetic, community-aware al umni.
Knowledgeable faculty actively practicing and researching in their fields is a
strength of the College of Arts and Science as well. Our Music faculty compose and
perform. The Department of Foreign Longuages faculty travel extensively and use
this knowledge to incorporate culture in thec!assroom. The primate laboratory and
ongoing research ildds to the credibility of our Psychology program. Because the
disciplines within this College arc so diverse, it is a challenge to be aware of the
ongoing changes Yet LI IU manages to provide quality experiences that give
students the needed competitive edge
VVhe.n speaking of LHl.'s excellence in the Arts, Jcannot overlook the value of
the Master of Liberal Arts in International Studies. Global civilization is explored
through a vast array of courses which encourage students to consider international
traditions. The classroom experience encourages students to challenge assumptions
and probe into new ways of thinking about global situations.
When taken as a package,
the College of Arts and
Science offers much to Lock
Haven University. J am
pleased that we are focusing
on these critical areas. I know
you will agree that the programs
have evolved over the
years and now take on the
characteristics necessary to
create competitive, community-minded
alumni. En joy.

An academic evolution...
The year 1960 marked a turning point
for LockH,1Ven State College. The institution
celebrated its new role as a multipurpose
college which could now grant
bachelor's degrees in the arts, science and
liberal arts. Founded in 1870 as the Central
Sta te Normal School, the College expanded
in the 19205 to a four-year degreegranting
college of teachered uca tion. The
19605 break from traditional teacher education
began a series of events which has
led to 19\)3'5 Lock HJven University College
of Arts and Science.
Students considering LHSC in 1960
were looking at an institution trying to
grow into its new role. Departments were
formed offering a concentration in art,
language arts, mathematics, music, science
and social studies. The 1960 mission
which stated, "The purpose of the Lock
Haven State College as defined by law is
to ed uca te teachers for the public schools
of the Commonwealth" was changed to
meet [he new demands. The mission now
read: "The two-fold purpose of the Lock
Haven State College is to provide an educational
program in the Arts and Sciences
designed to develop those qualities of
mind and emotion necessary for the major
functions of life and to educate teachers
for the public schools of the Commonwealth."
The new College catalogues
contained a supplement, "The New Liberal
Arts Program in the Humanities, Soial
Sciences and Natural Sciences." With
the changing times came a transition in
the make-up of the student body. Soon
growing from 1,000 to 2,300 students, the
College developed as Arts and Science
ra pidly gained popularity.
The College created the position of
Dean of Liberal Arts in 1964. Dr. Alan L.
McLeod, recipient of a PhD. from Penn
State University, first wore this hat and
began to shape the position which has
evolved into to day's Dean of the College
of Arts and Science.
The 1993 College of Arts and Science
now offers the Bachelor of Arts degree in
Humanities, Ma thematics, the Na tufa I Sciences
or Social Science, with an opportunity
for specialization. Also offered are
programs offering a Bachelor of Science
or Badlelor of Fine Arts in Music. A
unique Engineering/Artsand Sd enceCooperative
Program gives students the
chance to complete three years at Lock
Haven University and the final two years
through Penn State University. Generally,
completion of this program leads to
a LHU Bachelor of Arts degree and a PSU
engineering degree.
TheCollege of Arts and Science faculty
work hard to keep abreast of changes in
their diverse fields. Always competing
with dwindling resources, they continue
to provide the excellence which was begun
in 1960.

Irons Reveals Key Southern Historical Event
by Linda Moran
Dr. Janet Irons has ea rned a reputation for
solid, concerned teachi ng. Now through her
dissertation research, she hns recently added to
her liot ()fcredentials the task of historical consultant
and sought-alter period expert.
Research conducted by Irons, assistant professor
of history at LHU, is the prime source of
information for a documentary film project,
"The Cprising of 1934," produced by wellknown
documentary film producer, George
Stoney.
Having ta ckled, "Testing the New Deal:
The General Textile Strike of 1934," for her
PhD. final project, Irons has become an expert
on aSou thern textile union strike. As a student
at Duke Univer ity, she experienced first-hand
theanti-union southern culture. Intrigued by a
culture that did not support the worker organization,
she delved into research on a revolutionary
event that was historically poorly documente'd.
According to Irons, it was a subject
whose "time had come." Her interest peaked
during a period when others were also beginning
to look at Southern labor history and
question some of the events of the past.
The General Textile Strike of 1934, the second
largest in U.S. history, involved 180,000
workers from several hundred mills that were
organiz.ed under the United Textile Workers of
Ameri c.:1 . Ultimately a test of Roosevelt's New
Deal, the first piece of legislation passed giving
workers the right to organize wi thout em ployer
interference. Workers, feeling assured that
through the New Deal they would have federal
support, were given a renewed motivation to
change their continually degrading working
conditions.
To the strikers' dismay, approximately
25,000 workers were blacklisted by employers
and unable to secure jobs in the mills again.
Estimates at the higher range of the spectrum
report that 80,000 workers lost their jobs. In
addition, the federal government became involved
and negotiated a deal with union leadership
to have workers return to the mills with
the assurance that employers would be required
to make certain improvements.
On na tional radio President Roosevelt asked
workers to return to the workplace, promising
them an improved working environment. Unknown
to him, employers had no intention of
implementing improvements specified in the
agreement. Conditions continued to deteriorate,
and workers lost trust in the government
and unions. As a result, workers were overcome
by a feeling of shame and disillusionment
and never again could the anti-union sentiment
of the South be cracked.
The political and economic system in the
South during this period was, at best, a questionable
democracy-with only 20 percent of
the population, the political elite, voting. A
General Textile Strike victorv would have overturned
the social order of the South, according
to Irons. She believes that in contrast to the
North, the political and economic systems in
the South were controlled by the same people,
because most towns were company towns controlled
by factory owners.
Roosevelt, being a reformist and not a revolutionary,
was not willing to support the workers
in something that would cause a
reconfiguration of power within the South, Irons
said. In addition, Roosevelt was not prepared
to alienate the powerful, influential Congress
people of the South, whose backing he needed
to get other liberal legislation, such as social
security, passed.
Irons believes that the shame and government
betrayal that the workers felt hindered
them from telling their stories, from passing it
on to their children and grandchildren. This
may explain why the event was not an integral
part of southern labor history.
Interviews with strike participants enabled
Irons to attempt to piece together and record
the history of this revolutionary event which
textile workers parallel with the civil rights
movement. According to Irons, "Someone has
to restore courage and pride to the workers,"
and letting them tell their story was her way of
correcting history.
Irons also received a professional development
grant in Spring 1992 from the Pennsylvania
State System of Higher Education to engage
in revisions necessary for publication of a book
on the subject. She has also received publisher
interest.
5
In addition to her research, Irons is also a
contributing editor for Southern Exposure, a
magazine of southern politics and culture,
Durham, NC. She has written several paperssome
of which have been published. She has
received awards and honors for her work in her
field, and she is a member of several professional
organiza tions.
A member of the LHU APSC UF executive
council, Irons thinks that the union provides
the faculty with a voice with which they can
improve the quality of education. Her involvement
with the union parallels the very subject
on which she researches.
Irons is also concerned with women's issues
on campus, including curriculum and
sexual harassment concerns. She is associated
with a faculty group working on gender, race
and class- an effort to try to advance curriculum
by expanding knowledge of these issues.
Additionally, she is involved with a group of
faculty, staff and students in developing awareness
of and strong standards regarding sexual
harassment.
Irons a ttribu tes her success in the history
department to the Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences, Dr. Janet Gross, who provided
help and support in seeking out new research
topics and a work environment that values the
integration of research and curriculum.
Irons has proven to be an exemplary teacher
and hard worker both in and out of the classroom.
Through her research and other activities
she is able to provide her students with broadened
knowledge and applications that they
would not be able to find in their textbooks.

"Odyssey" tributes Wisniewski's dreams
111e serenity depicted in the paintings and photogra phs
in the "Odyssey" collection only begins to capture the
thoughts and dreams of Dr. Stanislaus Wisniewski who
provides a visual feast from his recent sabbatical experience.
The media is as mixed as the range of emotions Dr.
Wisniewski, professor of art, exhibits as he speaks of his
travels to Greece, Italy, Southern France and Spain. The
"Od yssey" show crea ted by and d ed ica ted to Wisniewski's
Spring 1993 sabbatical experience, offers photographs,
watercolors, pastels, oils and collages which serve as testimony
to his wondrous experience. The October 4-29
exhibit in the Sloan Gallery burst with images of
Wisniewski's own interpretation of the visit. A quote from
the display: "... When I saw Pa11theon, I felt a great sense of
joy as if I were finally meeting a long lost loved one ..."
begins to draw the viewer into a world of historic works of
art, magnificent architecture and breathtaking landscapes.
Support from the University and area community for
the exhibit was ove.rwhelming. The opening of the display
drew approximately 200 people. Wisniewski's opening
remarks explained the content
and basis for the array
of original works. But it is
only when you speak directly
with him that you
begin to understand the
grea t passion su rrounding
his visits.
Wisniewski saw for
himself grea t works of
art and cities about
which he had taught
and read for the past
30 years. He saw
landscapes that
w re "reminiscent
of EI Greco's ' View
of Toledo. '" In V 1ice he noted a "sky, el tric blue, li ke
neon." He understood why Homer described the Aeg an
Sea as "wine-like dark and aw -inspi ring." And he saw
Santorine as a city with "h us built lik birds' nests
clinging to the cliffs."
Of his favori te city hes, id, "[ dreamt abou t Venice since

The international tradition continues to thrive at Lock Haven University with the Fall 1993
semester bringing four visiting international professors from the Ukraine, Poland, China and
Japan to teach at the University. Also thIs semester, approximately 38 LHU students are
studying abroad in countries ranging from Australia to Japan to Germany toCosta Rica. And
LHU has 35 international students visiting and studying at the Universi ty. Along with the
excitement of introd ucing students and faculty to new cultures, comes the task of preparation.
Assisting with this process is a very special student-faculty organization whose mission it is to
promote international education programs throughout the country and to recognize excellence in this
area. Phi Beta Delta Honor Society for International Scholars was founded at LHU approximately
seven years ago. Instrumental in its inception was Dr. Donald Green, associate professor of
geography, and former Phi Beta Delta Chapter President and Northeast Regional Vice President. The
Society helps to promote faculty and student exchanges and supports study through awards and
scholarships.
Phi Beta Delta was founded in 1986 at the California State University, Long Beach, and a year
later was chartered as a national organization. The first of its kind, the Society provides a
network across college campuses \vhich encourages the pursuit of international education. The
name of the organiza tion reflects its very mission: Phi (love of knowledge); Beta (valuing
human life); Delta (achieving excellence). The red and gold colors representing the Society
symbolize strength in humankind and the energy of the sun from which people of all
cultures draw strength and life.
Now under the leadeJ"ship of Dr. Daniel Shaw, associate professor of philosophy, the
LHU Alpha Omega Chapter of the Society holds monthly information meetings which feature
international speakers who are visiting institutions outside of LHU. The members serve as points of
reference for individuals planning their stay abroad, and also help in the orientation of incoming LHU
international faculty and students.
Membership is exclusive and guidelines for induction are stringent. Students must have
participated in an international exchange, hold at least a 3.2 grade-point-average, and contribute
actively to international programs. Although open to all majors, most student members tend to be
enrolled in the international studies program. Until this year, only juniors and seniors were
eligible, bu t a new ruling now allows the inclusion of sophomores.
"The international program, along with the honors program, are the two things that
distinguish this school from any other state university. International students in my classes
provide some of the most stimulating discussions," Shaw said. He views the opportunities
presented by the Society and from international experiences as a broadening of the students'
minds. By knowing students with different political perspectives and lifestyles, students
expand their view and definition of the world.
Under Shaw's direction, and with the assistance of Jack Johnston, dean of international
studies, the Society'S focus has expanded to include diplomats. Most recently the October Homecoming
event featured Minister Yang Jiechi of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China. The secondranked
Chinese Embassy official, the Minister was joined by Hao Shouyi and Le Aimei, secretaries at
the Embassy.
Shaw, who spent some time in Germany and Poland, has ardent beliefs in the benefits of
international education which carry beyond the classroom and the Society's events. "I feel the
Society should be more visible in lobbying for international education," he said. "We need to stress
this importance to the University and retain the viability of international endeavors ."
Committed to the improvement of multi-cultural communication and understanding, Phi
Beta Delta al so encourages the international profeSSional development of faculty and staff.
Lock Haven University faculty member Dr. Jeffrey Burnham, assistant professor of political
science, is the most recently approved exchange. Dr. Burnham will be traveling to Lublin,
Poland, for the Spring 1994 semester to teach at Marie Curie Sklodowska University.
Because international education is an integral part of LHU's mission, the services
provided by Phi Beta Delta further enhance the opportunities for the community. Their efforts
contribute to increased understanding and acceptance and open new worlds on the college campus.

Electronic Art?
Professor presents whole new way to express creativity
by Sue Heintzelman
"Just as you use a paint box, that's what
.1 (omputer is," said Associate Professor of
Art William Foster of the rising trend in the
aesthetic world - electronic art.
"A very expensive paint box," replied
~l'nior Matthew Dailey. Dailey is one of
~e \' eral students tha t Foster has "hooked"
on electronic art.
Electronic art is not the use of graphics in
design, but the use of computer tools to
paint a picture on the monitor. "The com­
puterdoesn'tmake the picture," Foster said,
"the artist does." The only difference, and
one of the greatest attributes of electronic
art, is the ability to make changes faster and
easier, Foster said.
Electronic art was offered as a course for
the first time last spring, although students
experienced the new age art techniques
through units
addressed in
several art
classes.
Using professionalequipment
and programs,
the
courses allow
students to
"scratch the
surface of electronic
art," allowing
students
to see their opportunities and decide if this is a career
direction to pursue. TTl had seen the Listerine commercials
and I like them, but I had no interest in doing this myself
until I came here," said junior art major Dave Williams,
adding that he now intends to do animation for commercials
and movies.
Students utilize different applications in each of the five
programs available at the computer lab in Sloan Fine Arts
Center, mostly from money provided by the LHU Foundation.
Although more training may be required to obtain a
job in the field, Foster said some of his students are turning
out quality work equivalent to pieces produced by professionals.
The culminating activity for the electronic art course is a
production of all of the smaller works, that are converted
into a portfolio saved on five discs or a
video tape, which is then enhanced by background
music. Dailey made a history of the
world as part of his portfolio. Eyes blink.
Balls bounce. Dinosaurs roar. Autos are
born. Rea ctors spread smog leading ultimately
to human destruction. Dailey created
the entire sequence of events with
computer tools, such as a mouse and a
digitalized pen. Designing pictures born in
his mind, Dailey enhanced the project with
bits of animation.
Foster feels it is critical in art curriculum
to introduce students to this new technique.
Examples of electronic art emanate around
us in society through such vehicles as television,
presentations and video games.
Electronic art
seems to be addicting
for some
students who
spend from one to
five extra hours a
day in the la b creating,
shaping
and manipulating
designs.
Since the course is
not offered this
FalJ 1993 semester,
most are
spending time enhancing
past
projects and creating
new ones for
their own benefit.
Although the
onset of the computer
has begun
todigitalizemany
aspects of the
world, Foster
stresses tha t the
computer is not
taking over fine
art. "Thecomputer in no way replac -traditional skills," he
said. "If you are sensitive to image , it en11ances the work
you can do."

Industrialist-in-Residence to share
textile business experiences with LHU
It's 1968. "Pomp and Circumstance" is
ringing through the hall, but to many of
the male graduates who are walking
through graduation, all they ca n hear is
gun fire. As they take their diplomas, they
know in a few months those diplomas will
turn into guns as many men join the military
to fight in the Vietnam War.
Richard Castle, who enlisted in the Marine
Corps, was no exception. "As things
progressed, most of us had short term
goa ls," Castksaid, adding that those goals
did not immediately include using their
degrees. "After graduation 1 expected to
be an officer, go to Vietnam and then come
home," he said.
CJstle was discharged from the military
in 1969 becauseof an injury. He turned
down an offer to join the FBI to instead
begin his lifetime work in the dye and
textile industry.
Castle, who graduated from LHU with
a bachelor's degree in chemistry, now
works under the executive vice president
of Shaw Industries as the director of research
and technology development.
Working for the world's largest carpet producer,
Castle said daily he implemen ts his
organic chemistry, mathematical, writing
and foreign language skills he obtained at
LHU.
Recen tly named Industrialist-in-ResidertCe
for Lock Haven University, Castle
will be visiting the University for several

in the business world with students. The

Sam Adamo: Lock Haven, Brazil &Beyond
by Michelle Hill
He entered Lock Haven State College
in 1971 to study physical education and to
play football. In 1975, however, he graduated
with a degree in history and a new
passion.
Sam Adamo credits dson DeLavan,
LHU assistant professor of history, with
his change in direction. "I took a history
class taught by elson my first semester
at Lock Haven. I guess you could say that
he sparked my fascination in history,"
Adamo said. "I needed something that
would challenge and interest me for the
rest of my life."
Adamo and DeLavan became friends.
"I used to work on . elson' s farm for a
few dollars and lunch. If you ask him, I
bet he'll tell you I'm the best digger he's
ever had," he joked. "I can remember sitting
down and eating an entire chicken
there." The two still stay in touch and
visit when they can.
After graduation, Adamo continued
his studies at the University of New
Mexico (U M), specializing in Latin
American studies. He won a small research
grant and in the sununer of 1977,
v L5 ited Brazil for the first time, studying
the social history of Afro-Brazilians after
their freedom from slavery in 1890. He
returned to Brazil in 1979 and 1984, researching
such topics as health care, social
position and racial tension, both historic
and current. "Brazil's stereotypical attitudes
are not so different from America
when it comes to race issues. However,
Brazil has adopted a racial democracy
that is slowly overcoming tension."
After receiving his doctorate from
M, Adamo discovered that positions
in history were few and far between. Because
he had training in surveying and
mapping, he took a job with the Albuquerqu
Planning Department, conducting
a piece by piece inventory of how the
land in and around Albuquerque was being
used. He is currently researching water
use and the effects on the Rio Grande
Basin. In the coming weeks he will interview
with Kansas State University's history
department.
Adamo is eager to get into academics
again, and he i.s currently working on putting
his dissertation in book form for publication.
He, his wife, Lori Navarrete, and
their three dogs currently live in Albuquerque.
Navarrete earned her doctorate
in multi-cultural special education and
t aches at Kansas State University. They
plan to relocate if the results of his inter­
view are positive.
Adamo can speak both Spanish and
Portuguese. He took some Spanish
classes while at LHU. Living in the South
Valley of Albuquerque, which is 95 percent
Hispanic, makes it easy for him to
keep his language skills sharp. A drawback
to a move to Kansas, however, will
be the reduction in opportunities to practice
the Janguage with a native population.
When Adamo speaks of his years in
Lock Haven, he does it with fondness.
"My years at Lock Haven were some of
the happiest of my life. It was there that I
laid the foundation of my knowledge.
When 1 went on to Ul M, I was worried
that I wasn't going to be able to keep pace
with the people from the name schools,
like Harvard or Princeton. I found that
even though I came from a small state
school in the middle of Pennsylvania, I
could hold my own."
Adamo's career was molded by the
guidance he received at LHU. His international
experience stemmed from his
courses and from his professors. He still
maintains contact with LHU friends and
remains one of Lock Haven University's
most driven alumni.

ADVANCEMENT NOTES
LHU Marks Strong Entrance to Giving Campaign
Af 123 years, itis hard to believe that Lock Haven University
hds many "firsts" left. But Spring 1994 marks the beginning of the
University's first Capital Campaign.
Institutions of higher education are always striving to meet the
needs of the students. LHU graduat s students who must be
competitIve in skills and knowledge, and who must be ready to
contribute to their communities. To meet the competition headon,
LHU has committed itself to raising $2.5 million w hich will be
ll.5ed to enhance the quality of education at LHU. Gift in come will
be used to support these University objectives:
• Old Ulmer Hall Renova tions and Enhancements
to its Teaching Classrooms ..... ,.
. ".. $1.1 million
• Property Acquisition and Facility Renovation . .. 5500,000
• Scholarships and Other Financial Aid .. .... .. ... $250,000
• Scientific and Media Equipment ... '......,...... . ,$250,000
• Jack Stadium Enhancements ..... ' .$200,000
• Library Enrichment .. ,.. .... .. "...... .. .... .... . .." .$100,000
• International Programs ...................... .. .... .. .... .. .. .... ,.. .. .. .. .$100,000
Lock Haven University will receive approximately $2 million
from the Commonwealth to upgrad e the science facilities in
Ulmer Hall and to enhance the athletic and recreational facilities
atJack Stadium. "Ulmer Hall andJackStadium were the two LHU
projects that were approved under the Governor's Jump Start
program," Les Noelk, campaign chair, explained. "As a result of
Jump Start, the University is commi tted to raising 25 percent of the
funds needed for construction and renovation." LH is challenged
to prepare for the future by raising $2.5 million in capital
and permanent endowment funds from the private sector.
Thus far 60 percent of LHU faculty and staff kicked off the
campaign with an overwhelming contribution of approximately
$294,000. ow off to a strong beginning, the Campaign will move
to its second phase. Ifyou wish to contribute to the Campaign and
its projects, or to another project in your area of interest, please
contact the University at (717) 893-2293.
Year-end giving can
produce tax benefits
With the year drawing to a close, the time to
reflect upon year end giving is here. Charitable
giving can effectively reduce and in some cases
eliminate tax increases.
Cash gifts made before or on December 31 can
become itemized deductions on your 1993 federal
income tax return. You should check, however,
to see how August 1993 Congressional tax
increases will affect this giving.
Lock Haven University also benefits from receipt
of stocks, certain bonds and other securities.
You may find such a gift produces a greater
return on your tax benefits. Long-term holdings
actually produce a greater yield. It is recommended
that you consult with your tax adviser
for the best plan for you.
For those who do not have enough deductions
to itemize, a charitable gift still carries benefits.
By planning a lifelong giving plan, you can begin
to put together a philanthropic campaign with
long-term benefits.
For more information on how you can contribute
to LHU and realize importa nt tax deductions,
contact the Advancement Division at (717) 893­
2293.

THREE BRIGHT STARS SHINE IN LHU FALL SPORTS SKY
In a fall sports season filled with outstanding
individual performances and topnotch
teams, many LHU athletes have distinguished
themselves on an individual basis
this year. Three of those stars have shone a
bit brighter, however, and the impact they
have had on their respective teams is impressive.
David Hogue is a senior on LHU's you thful
football team. A transfer in 1990 from
Division I Clemson, Hogue has started for
three consecutive yea rs at the right tackle
position on the offensive line. A massive
physical specimen, Hogue's 6'5", 282 pound
frame, has grabbed the attention of numerous
professional football scouts. His ability
to pass block, his intelligence CHogue sports
a grade point averilge above a 3.0), and his
commitment to excellence in all aspects of
his collegiate life have given Hogue a legitimate
shot at being drafted in the
1994 National Football League
draft.
Most of the attention about his
draft possibilities has little impact
on Hogue. "I can't stand here and
say I'll definitely go in the NFL
draft. I don't want to be put on a
pedestal," Hoguesaid. "A person
can read about tha t stuff ilnd kind
of expect people to talk about it,
but I don't consider myself that
good yet. I have work to do."
He may have work to do, but
Hogue hasalreildy distinguished himself as
one of the premier players in Division II
footbal!. He was named to the PSAC-West
First Team last year and will likely do so
again this year. He has been honored as a
pre-season All-American by Host Communica
tions, C M. Frank Small College Report
and College Football Preview.
While Hogue will graduate in May and
looks forward to the possibility of a lucrative
future in professional footbilll, another
LHU star continues her assault on a record
that was once thought untouchable.
Colette Gasparini, a junior forward on
LHU's highly regarded field hockey team,
transferred to LHU last year from Becker
Community College and stormed the nation
in her first season of Division II play.
She set a new U!U record for goals in a
season with 28 and has a distinct shot at
topping that mark this year.
Given the success of her first two seasons
of play, Gasparini has a real shot at topping
the once "untouchable" record of 74 career
goals, set by Sherry Derr from 1981 to 1984.
Through less lhan two seasons, Gasparini
has 50 goals. She has the 1993 post-season
and all of 1994 ahead of her and the record
isin real jeopilrdy. "] don't even think about
it," Gasparini said. "The goals thatweset as
a team are so high that all anyone should
ever concentrate on is accomplishing our
ultimate goal of repeating as Division II
ational Champion."
Even though she tries to put it out of her
mind, the possibilityofbrea king a four-year
record in only three years still excites her. "]
try not to think about it," she continued,

CONVOCATION
Fall Convocation features
modern Renaissance Scholar
by Ooug ills Bicket
A near-full Price Performance Center was the lociltion for a
memorable Fall semester Convoca ti on address by Dr. Leon
Botstein, noted academic, musician, au th or and president of Bard
College, N ew York. Dr. Botstei n used one of the University'S
premier ceremonial occasions to d eliver a hard-hitting a nd wid e­
ranging speech on the problems and chall enges fa cing Ame ri ca n
educa tion in a changi ng world .
FrC'espeech, ra cia land religious intolerance, and the importance
of free thinking w ere the central themes explored by Or. Bots tein
in his address titled ''Excellence and Social Responsibility." The
core of his address, however, was qua lity in education. American
educa tion had to respond to th e huge changes ta king place around
it, he said . The grea test goa ls for schools and universiti es today
shoul d be to ed uca te people to think freely for themselves. "We
cannot li ve ina nation w here o ur people have not an idea in their
heads," he stated to loud applause.
The Convoca tion, which helped to celebrate the 10th anniversary
of LHL" s prom otion to University sta tus w ithin the State System
of Higher Ed uca ti on, was hailed by President Craig Dean Wi llis as
alI important occasion in the h istory of th e institution and a
celebration of diversity a nd excellence within the University
which had also become such an integral part of th e Lock Haven
community.
Dr. Botstein later went on to d escribe LHU and similar state
system universities as "am ong the most interes ting educational
in titutions in the United States." Complimenting LHU's
~chi eve m e nt s in recent years, he d rew attention to the advances
made by this and other such u niversities. Forced to carve i1
competiti ve n iche for themselves between community colleges
and the ' trad itiona I' u ni ver ~ it i es, these fo ur-year insti tutions were
emerging as among the most active a nd vibrant in the country,
both in teaching (ll1d research, and he saw a brig ht future for LHU.
