Home at last
Lake Erie College spoils Lady Lions' Erie Hall
debut; spikers to host Pitt-Bradford tonight
Steven R. Smith

The renovations to Erie Hall
are finished, but that didn't stop
the Lake Erie College 'Storm'
from raining on the lady spiker's
home debut.
The 'Storm' rolled into Erie
from a small college in
Painesville, Ohio last Tuesday
and proceeded to inflict some pain
on the newly refinished floors.
The lady spikers came into the
match with a 14-21 record and
plans to inaugurate their home
floor with a big win over the 26-
18 club from L.E.C.
Spikers' hitter Pam Allshouse
had the teams plans firmly in
mind and served the women to a
quick 3-0 lead.
Behrend Coach Jan Wilson
had commented before the match
that consistent serving would be
a key for the ladies that night.
Unfortunately that good
serving was silenced when the
ball hit the spikers' floor.

and the Office of Student Activities
The Lake Erie ladies took
advantage of their service chances
and went on to erase the Behrend
lead and began to build one of
their own off the arm of their
team captain, 5-10, Becky
Williams. Williams served 7
times during the first game in
leading her team to victory over
the spikers 15-12.
Behrend's lady spikers started
the second game off with
Allshouse once again serving
them into the lead. Hitters Erica
Scribner and Alexis Pasteur
chimed in with early kills that
got the women out to a 6-3 lead.
Then, the Lake Erie women
came storming back.
The lightning came off the
arm of Williams who proved she
could not only serve, she could
spike, and spike hard.
Her rotation into the front row
and some good sets by her
teammates sent balls raining
down onto the spikers' side.
To the delight of the home
crowd the ladies put on their

The Collegian
galoshes and fought back to 12-
13. Kellie Jordan kept the crowd
thundering with a well placed lob
onto the L.E.C. floor that tied it
up at 13.
It looked to many crazed
spiker fans like the storm had
passed, but it turned out only to
be the eye of the storm.
The stormin' women poured it
on and beat the drenched spikers
15-13.
The ladies got a 5 minute
'half-time break, but the L.E.C.
ladies put up a front that blocked
all attempts at a Behrend
comeback, winning 15-9 in a
quick third game.
The spikers were disappointed
with the loss, but hoped the
experience at home would help
them in future matches.
The ladies play at home The hit: Senior Erica Scribner goes up for a spike
tonight against a team they beat against Lake Erie College Tuesday night. The
just two weeks ago, Pitt- match marked the first time this season that the
Bradford. The match begins at 6
p.m. in Erie Hall. spikers have played in Erie Hall.

Directed by Agnes Varda
A teenage girl runs away and hits the road, hitching
rides from strangers on highways despite the danger
associated with hitchhiking and traveling alone, especially for
young women. She lives the life of a vagabond, encoountering
strange people and unlikely adventures on her way.
Countering the romanticism we associate with life on the
road, this film takes a hard look at what can happen to such
people. Varda's film was critically acclaimed when it came
out, and viewers found it uncompromisingly tough.
Discussion immediately following, led by Dr. Galye Morris,
Assistant Professor of Economics, and Penn State-Behrend
student Maria Torres.
DESERT HEART

7:30 p.m., Reed Lecture Hall
Directed by Donna Deitch
When it came out, this contorversial film was called
"sort of a lesbian western." It's about two women in love,
and it is by virtue of the fact alone an unusual movie for
mass distribution in a society that is still greatly disturbed by
the thought of people of the same sex loving each other.
Romantic, lushly scenic, and in some aspects deliberately
conventional, the film is probably still the only lesbian love
story to have been widely shown in American theaters.
Discussion immediately following, led by Penn State-Behrend
students Diana Zieinniak and Sally Meister.
