Trial may last all month Reporting Lecture Tonight From "Smart Trial" A1 Travis stated in opening remarks that there are several witnesses that saw McMann alive after Jan. 23. such as at Wendy's Restaurant in Lock Haven, walking across the railroad tracks in the city, and in a vehicle. One witness, Christine Hostrander. claims she saw McMann in the Old Corner Bottle Shop on Feb. 2, 1999. Hostrander, who formerly dated McMann. said they were arguing over how many beers Efforts drum up new student voters he could carry, and he also had a new haircut. Hostrander notified police when she saw posters saying that he had been missing since Jan. 23. Another woman, Nicole Killinger. who was not required to take the stand on Thursday, notified police after hearing through her boyfriend that Smart admitted to the murder. Killinger's boyfriend. Jamie Allen, told her that Smart told him he killed McMann. Allen was Smart's roomate at the time. The trial is expected to last the remainder of the month. With the overall theme of Intercultural Achieving Understanding through Competent Communication, the International Visiting Lecturer Series will host its first lecturer on Wednesday, October 6th at 7:00 p.m. in the Hamblin Hall of Flags located on the Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania campus.

Political Spectacle, which occurred on the front lawn of Russell Hall, was a place students could go to find registration forms and absentee ballots applications. The students running the drive even paid for the postage to send the forms. Youth04 encourages students of all ages that their votes do count just as much as anyone else's. "Some younger students may be spending their entire college experience under the administration of the President Elected in November," said Jeff Kucnzi, local member of the Youth04 group. "They need to realize that they are forfeiting their right to criticize the outcome of the election if they don't show up at the polls on November 2. Not let me connect to the internet?! How dare they! If you're like me, you're enraged at the mere thought of not having Internet access. Think about it: You're misting out on all those instant messages! Luckily, I've cooked up a little scheme to help fight the battle against those harmful viruses. "But Nate, what IS a virus?" Basically, a virus is a program which interferes with the normal operation of your computer. While there are many variants(macros, trojans, keyloggers) and it may seem impossible to gat rid of them all, there is a way. Antivirus software is the most common way. If you bought a new computer before school started there is virus protection on there but it's out of date. Many companies, such as Norton or McAffee, will give you virus protection, but at your expense. Forget it. If you want a free anti- virus program, all you need is AVG. AVG is a free anti' virus program developed by CmSoft. They offer free updates too! The catch? You have to provide your email address to receive e key. This key unlocks the program.

"Why reward someone you don't like?" said Martin on voting for someone simply because they have a greater chance of winning. "Don't complain about something and then go ahead and be the lemming." According to The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, only 42 percent of students aged 18-24 voted in the 2000 Presidential Election. In that same election, 70% of voters 25 years and older cast their votes.

October 2 students discovered more ways to spice up their spring mix with some diversity and leadership. On Saturday morning students spent five hours in the PUB to participate in the SAL AD or Seeking Alliances and Leadership through semiDiversity workshop. The nar, facilitated by Ricardo Hall from Wake Forest U. and Shauna Irwin from Bucknell U., sought to help students understand diverse populations, implement community service, and gain leadership skills that will help dissolve many social barriers within college campuses. The workshop ran various activities such as "Dominant Impressions" that encouraged students to discuss the stereotypes they have of each other's organizations, focus on ways to "build bridges" between these gaps, and create a sense of unity among all campus groups. Students also participated in a "Values Activity" designed to focus on the values and viewpoints of each organization and to remind students to work together through the basic values the clubs share. When discussing campus barriers, many agreed on gossip, lack of support for groups, and laziness as prime issues. Disparities that exist in resources such as finance, membership, and advisors also create barriers within the groups that stifle goals, progress and positive attitudes. However, students found that attributes such as responsible leadership, initiative, goals, and trust help break down these barriers and form action plans in times ofcrisis. The workshop, formed by an agency from Denver, CO called Campus Speak, recognized a need in college campuses for speakers to educate students on leadership development and diversity awareness. Campus Speak was formed in 1999 and has specialized in sending issues-based lecturers from coast to coast to discuss residence life, today's Greek organizations, leadership, health, and much more. Ricardo, an Associate Dean and Judicial Officer at Wake Forest, has facilitated the SALAD program for almost a year. He believes many barriers that colleges experience are directly reliant on the campus environment, student government, or even the make-up of the campus such as being a "suitcase campus", or one where students leave for home every weekend and fail to participate in many campus activities. Ricardo commented "For this |the program) to have any degree of significant success there has to be some follow up. some action plan to change." Shauna Irwin. Asst. director of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs at Bucknell. has led the program for three years. She discovered her Greek system, embodied what SALAD focused on as well as a desire to spread the word to other campuses. Since all college environments vary. Shauna believes that not only working on dissolving the barriers but addressing them differently is thc key to change and progress. She encourages students not to get stuck on what people say, but rather on how to improve their perspectives of campus life. Shauna smiles and says. "Don't stop here because today is just a launching pad so keep on driving until you find thc end." For more information on SALAD and other programs, you can visit www.campuspeak.com.

To this end, the community must be free from discriminatory conduct of any kind. Thus, because such conduct subverts the well-being of the college environment, abuse, discrimination or harassment of any individual will not be tolerated. Gender discrimination/sexual harassment in any form is not only contrary to University policy but also morally reprehensible because it undermines the dignity of community members and often represents an unfair exploitation of power. As a university, we take seriously our responsibility to educate all members of the community about the nature of gender discrimination/sexual harassment, its effects on both individual and communal well-being, and the steps necessary to combat it. Lock Haven University is committed to equality of opportunity and freedom from discrimination for all of its students, faculty and staff. Gender discrimination/sexual harassment and all forms of sexual intimidation and exploitation are of concern to the University. Governed by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 which prohibits sex discrimination in education, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits sex discrimination in employment, and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act of 1955 (and their amendments), the University seeks to prevent and correct such actions. Gender discrimination/sexual harassment is unacceptable conduct and will not be tolerated in any context at Lock Haven University, whether it be in a faculty/student, faculty/faculty, supervisor/employee, student/student, worker/co-worker, or other relationship regardless of the formal status of the persons involved. Individuals who engage in such behavior are subject to appropriate corrective action which, when warranted, may include termination of their relationship with the University. In addition, such persons may be held personally liable to the target of such behavior and be subject to sanctions independent of those imposed by the University. Under Title IX, an individual is the victim of gender discrimination if he/she is, on the basis of sex, excluded from participation in , denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity operated by the University. In addition, under Title VII an employer commits gender discrimination if it (a) fails or refuses to hire, discharges, or otherwise discriminates against any individual with respect to his/her compensation, terms, conditions or privileges of employment, because of such individual's sex, or (b) limits, segregates or classifies its employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his/her status as an employee, because of such individual's sex. Sexual harassment, which is a form of gender discrimination, occurs in a variety of situations which share a common element: the inappropriate introduction of sexual activities or sexual comments into the work or learning situation. Though not limited to the following circumstances, often sexual harassment involves relationships of unequal power and contains elements of coercion, for example suggestions that academic or employment reprisals or rewards will follow the refusal or granting of sexual favors. For purposes of this Policy, sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature occurring when: 1. 2. 3. Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment, or of a student's academic status or treatment; Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for academic or employment decisions affecting such individual; or Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work or academic performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working or academic environment to a reasonable person. Types of behavior which may constitute sexual harassment include, but are not limited to: -Sexist, sexually suggestive or intimidating remarks or behavior; -Inappropriate and offensive uninvited sexual advances; -Solicitation of sexual activity or other sex-linked behavior by promise of reward; -Coercion of sexual activity by threat of punishment; -Sexual assault. SUPERVISORY CAUTIONS Faculty and supervisors should be aware that amorous or sexual relationships with students or subordinate employees are strongly discouraged at Lock Haven University. Due to the inherently unequal nature of a relationship in which on party supervises, advises or evaluates the other, the apparent consensual status of an amorous relationship between such parties is suspect even when both parties have given voluntary consent. In such a situation, it is the ethical and professional responsibility of the person in the position of power to relinquish decisions regarding the subordinate and to remove him/herself from the supervisory role. In sum, such relationships have the potential for adverse consequences, including the filing of charges of sexual harassment, and thus any person in a supervisory capacity enters at peril into amorous or sexual relations with a subordinate. PROCEDURES FOR RESPONDING TO GENDER DISCRIMINATION/SEXUAL HARASSMENT All parties involved must clearly understand that gender discrimination/sexual harassment is not only a violation of University Policy, it is a violation of state and federal law. As a result, the complainant may proceed in one of three ways: (1) through the University procedure (described below), (2) through the legal system (state and federal agencies and/or the criminal justice system), or (3 ) through a combination of both. The complainant should inform the University if she/he intends to proceed through the legal system. Following the University procedure does not preclude pursuing the complaint through the legal system. "This wording is consistent with applicable federal guidelines relating to sexual harassment. The University policy seeks to encourage students and employees to express freely, responsibly, and in an orderly fashion their opinions and feelings about any problem or complaint of gender discrimination/sexual harassment. Deliberate or malicious false accusations of gender discrimination/sexual harassment will not be tolerated. However, any act by a student or University employee of reprisal, interference, restraint, penalty, discrimination, coercion, or harassment-overtly or covertly-against a student or employee for responsibly using this Policy and its Procedures may itself be a violation of the Policy subjecting the perpetrator to disciplinary action under this Policy if appropriate. PROCEDURES FOR RESPONDING TO GENDER DISCRIMINATION/SEXUAL HARASSMENT: The University endorses a strong, widely disseminated and consistently enforced policy against gender discrimination/sexual harassment. As such, each University dean, director, department chairperson, search committee chairperson, administrator and supervisor is responsible within his/her area of jurisdiction for making appropriate referrals of complaints to the individuals identified in this policy. The University will annually publicize this policy in the Student Handbook; forward copies of it to all department chairpersons, deans, managers, and labor union leaders; and make announcements of any new procedure(s) in the campus newspaper and other means of existing com- munication. If you have any question or concerns you can contact the office of Social Equity, Mr. Albert W. Jones at 893 -2322 or email at ajones@lhup.edu.

Not only is additional spending needed in the Middle East according to Kerry's plan, but also greater contributions to homeland security are to be implemented; during his first presidential debate with Bush, he was extremely critical (and maybe descrvingly) of the president's job of protecting the country saying for action to be taken, necessary funding must be put forward. In doing this however, Kerry again showed another tendency toward heavy number spending while his only wish was to cut a research and development program for more advanced bunker busters that arc currently under way. Stepping away from the obvious partisanship in this article, this presidential race seems to show a possible future in America for heavy number government spending. Whether this actually shows a new approach to budget management in the federal government or simply shows a political game being played to beat one of the more polarizing presidents in history; it appears that the deficit will not be disappearing in the near future (as it is already quite large and shows of shrinking). no sign Regardless of the outcome of the election, we will not be seeing a president who will be taking strong action against heavy number spending. The one thing that is for certain however, is this election's incumbent has brought about one of the greatest moves toward big government spending in the nation's history; a role which the democratic senator only looks to further intensify.

The research group documented thc recently growth of these relationships, which increased 13-fold during the 1990s. The USDA says that such commercial promotions "convey a mixed message. When children are taught in the classroom about good nutrition and the value ofhealthy food choices but are surrounded by vending machines, snack bars, school stores and a la carte sales offering low nutrient density options, they receive the message that good nutrition is merely an academic exercise that is not supported by the school administration and is therefore not important to their health or education." But thc economic bottom line for suffering schools is that forgoing physical activity programs and hawking unhealthy nutritional habits is an unfortunate fiscal necessity. Or is it? A report released last week indicates that these practices could be just as costly as their alternatives. According to a study published last Friday by Action for Healthy Kids (a coalition of more than 40 health and education agencies), obesity in students could be costing schools millions in operating costs. The study cites the example of attendance, in that "at least nine states that get state money based on student attendance are losing an estimated tens of millions of dollars because ofabsenteeism." which often results from thc poor health that is symptomatic of nutrition problems. The group also notes that "unhealthy lifestyles by students and faculty lead to other hidden costs, from lower worker productivity to the added expenses of helping students who have fallen behind." The implication of this study is that the long-term effects ofthe quick fix financial solutions that schools have been forced to adopt are devastating not only in health costs, but in fiscal costs as well. It is shameful that such measures have become a financial inevitability for our school system. It is time to reprioritize when this country's children arc being asked to pay the price of their own education with their health. Online What are your plans for Tuesday, November 2?

Dear Editor, Where's the money? That should be John Edwards's punch line and not some actor in a movie. Has anyone taken a good look at this guy? Man. there's nothing he hasn't done, that hasn't lined his pockets with the green stuff. He's the type of lawyer whose endeavors have made cause for all those nasty lawyer jokes that seem to ring all too true about the profession today. Now, he wants us to do the right thing when it comes to our nation's second most highest seat. Really, can Pennsylvania or any other state in the Union risk exposing itself with such liability with a guy like this? After all, Pennsylvania now faces a medical liability crisis, because of individuals like John Edwards. This state is third worst in the country in terms of physicians lost. Pennsylvania Poll shows 1 in 4 lost physician due to Liability Insurance Crisis. Much of thc blame for this rests at the feet of trial lawyers, like John Edwards. The would be Vice President is proud of his trial experiences, even going so far as to write a book about it. In fact, Edwards made millions from suing doctors, and a name for himself in lawsuits involving children born with cerebral palsy. Edwards used deceptive methods to win these lawsuits, by claiming that a C-section would have prevented the dis- Start 5 'I am not that Cosmo girl! ease: this has since been proven junk science. Further, Edwards was known for not taking on clients whose children had died, as a live child would illicit jury sympathy, and higher economic damages, thus a bigger payday for Edwards.

They didn't seem to * be even slightly alarmed at what kinds of subliminal messages the media is sending to young women, and what kinds of effects that could be having on all areas of our lives, including our self-image and our advancements toward equality. I, on the other hand, was quite alarmed with what I began subscribe to to see. I Cosmopolitan, mostly because I'm very entertained with most of the shallow, superficial content. But my entertainment has now been interrupted by the sharp realization that many other women my age aren't simply entertained by this stuff they believe in it and often unwittingly mold their lives around it without batting a perfectly mascara'd eyelash. I was so bothered by this realization that 1 decided to share a little insight into Cosmopolitan with those who aren't savvy with what this magazine is putting out there for the consumption of tomorrow's (or is it even today's?) female leadership. Here's a breakdown of the October 2004 issue: -325 pages in the issue. -29 pages of content display- - ing acceptable dress for today's fashions. Including the shopping information pages. -17 pages of beauty tips, including make-up and hairstyling do's and don'ts. -21 pages of content teaching women how to better sexually and emotionally capture and satisfy their men, including the bedside astrologer. -87 ads that promoted clothes or beauty aids, all of which were at least a full page. -13 pages of celebrity gossip that does nothing but encourage young women to focus on the lives of famous people, rather than on their own careers or other more relevant issues. Do the math. That adds up to 167 pages that promote superficiality to young women today, instead of stronger, more wellbalanced ideas and values. This isn't to say that other, more valuable content isn't there. And I suppose Cosmo magazine is to be commended for their efforts to cover all aspects of a woman's life in 2004, from the superficial to the crucial. There are, in fact, 32 pages relating to workplace and women's health issues, book reviews, travel tips and ideas, the upcoming Presidential election, an uplifting story about a woman's success concerning an attempted rape, how close women are getting to the Presidency, new ways that women can be violated and scummed, ways women can be stronger, and how to avoid and deal with stress. Please understand that I'm not trying to point the finger at Cosmopolitan magazine only. There are quite a few other magazines that promote similar subject matter and are targeted to thc same --.'dicnce or even a younger, more impressionable age group of women. Besides, pointing the blame at popular magazines for slowing women's progress in a collegiate newspaper won't get my message very far. Instead, I'm directing my message at the readers of those magazines that are part of this campus. A former slogan for Cosmopolitan magazine read. "I am that Cosmo girl." After taking a close look at what it really means to be "that Cosmo girl," I hope you'd all see that this isn't the way to achieve equality and join me in saying, "I am not that Cosmo girl!"

Please understand that I'm not saying all of these occurrences in history were 100 percent pure alien reference, but I'm saying it's possible. There's a theory that if you can think of something then it will eventually be possibility. The image of aliens has embedded itself into our society. There are Kang and Kodos, the two reoccurring aliens from The Simpsons, a whole mess of aliens on the cancelled but comical Futurama, and even a few South Park episodes where Earth was the ultimate reality show for an alien planet. There have been a countless amount of movies with aliens in them that seem like plausible Independence Day, or the humorous down-right-silly When Mars Attacks.

With the money they make, 2-5 million dollars less a season shouldn't be that much of hit in their pockets. Whatever happened to playing for the love of the game? Money has ruined most major sports and I would rather watch any collegiate sport instead of a professional sport because the competitive aspect is exciting and these players are trying to get the professional level. Professional sports can be dull and thc reasons the players are playing can vary. In the collegiate ranks the players are trying to get to that next level and make millions while still receiving an education even if its just one or two years. Critics may say collegiate athletes are getting paid too but the proportion of millions of dollars to what people assume collegiate athletes arc getting paid is not even worth going into detail about.

Everytime a Itew subject was brought out both candidates would take it back to the War in Iraq, 1 know that this is a hot topic and a very important one because brave women and men are losing and risking their lives to protect us, but both candidates need to stop ifocusing on just one issue. America is a big and beautiful country with problems in Healthcare, Social Security, Unemployment, and starving children. I hope whoever the President that WE choose gets the troops that are fighting for our freedom home first and then they take care of US and the problems that I listed above. This week baseball goes on its search for the next MR. OCTOBER. This year I think will be one of the more competitive races in years. In the NX we have St. Louis, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Houston. The Astros are the hottest team in baseball going 36-10 since August 15th. But the Cardinals have showed that they were the best team in the regular season (but this is the playoffs now). The Dodgers are much improved from a year ago and are led by MVP candidate Adrian Beltre. And the Braves have won 13 straight division championships., The A.L has Minnesota, Anaheim, Boston, And New York....Minnesota had the least amount of trouble to get to the playoffs, as they clinched their division over two weeks ago, so they have been resting their players for this week. Anaheim outlasted the A's, clinching the West title. Boston got out slugged by the Yankees for the division crown but they can nght with any team in either league. They settled for the Wild Card and this may be the year that the curse ends. With their pitching and Manny, they can go far. And the YANKEES what more can I say FIRST YOU GET THE MONEY THEN YOU GET THE POWER THEN YOU GET THE RESPECT.. .And they also have 26 World Championships as a franchise.. And their batting order is amazing, so can they be beat in a series???? If their pitching does not hold up then they might be in trouble. MY PICK FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS... N.Y. YANKEES VS. ATLANTA BRAVES The Yankees and Joe Torre know how to win in October and their line-up speaks for itself.

Noise immersed the entire arena as the crowd pleaded with the band to return for one last song. They came back for not just one but two, beginning the encore with "Don't Drink the Water" and ending with "Stay." As seasoned veterans in the music business. The Dave Matthews Band has an ever changing set list. For this concert they chose to play mostly older songs, working in a new song every now and then. Band members Dave Matthews, Boyd Tinsley on violin, Carter Beauford on drums, bassist Stefan Lessard and Leroi Moore on the sax lit up the stage for more than two hours. Thousands of scratchy voiced fans, with sore overclapped hands, filed out of the Bryce Jordan Center, at about 11:30, maybe not with voting on their mind but with wide grins on their faces. Aside from the few protestors who stood outside the Bryce Jordan Center before the show, the happiness seemed to be a mutual feeling that night. The Vote for Change Tour began Friday in Pennsylvania with big name musicians performing in six cities throughout the state. It will continue to Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, North Carolina and will wrap up Not a whale of a "Tale" Shark Tale/Two and a half stars Edward Savoy Staff Reporter Kim Hill/Eagle Eye Dave Matthews pe to encourage your ig voters to make their voice heard in this electic >n.

"A vote for Bush is a vote for a divided, unstable, Together (ACT) and Move On. The proceeds from all ofthe paranoid America." Most times, I, like many reviewers, take a devilish delight in giving films bad reviews or pointing out their inadequacies; after all, it is far easier (and more personally satisfying) to give a negative review and cause the venom flow towards a particular film than it is to praise it to the skies. Of course, this reviewing tendency makes a mediocre film all the harder to review. A film fitting perfectly into this unfortunate niche is Shark Tale; it is a film not bad enough that I can afford to be savage, but neither is it good enough that I can afford to be totally kind. Shark Tale does absolutely everything it can to make the viewer like it. The voicing talent that the film's creators summoned to give life to the characters is truly awe inspiring and provides some of the film's humor; for example, just a few of the noteworthy actors voicing characters include Jack Black, voicing a vegetarian shark (not one of the more likely roles you imagine Mr. Black in), Robert De Niro, voicing Black's character's dad, a large mobster shark (appropriately named Don Lino), and the director Martin Scorcese as a slightly neurotic blow fish (with, in what I'm sure was a coincidence, very bushy, Scorcese-like eyebrows). Such voice casting (which doesn't even include Angelina Jolie and Katie Oniric, whose voices are also heard) provide the knowledgeable audience with a few smiles and a great deal of entertainment. Add on to that Will Smith, voicing the reefs new, ambitious, fraudulent protector, Oscar, the "Shark Slayer", Renee Zellweger portraying his long suffering love interest, and impressive animation and it would seem that you have all of the possible ingredients for a terrific movie. There is only one problem; even though all ofthe ingredients are there, somehow, the ingredients were poorly mixed or not cooked long enough, because the result is a movie that is somehow not very funny. Shark Tale is often amusing and, if you can catch the plethora of "in jokes" that the film's creators throw in, you won't be bored. However, for whatever reason, the film simply isn't very funny, especially when you consider that the company that produced the film is DreamWorks, the same company that has given us the consistently laugh-out-loud hilarious Shrek franchise. It's not something that I can easily explain, but something that I regret. Shark Tale is an entirely admirable movie and a movie with a terrific message about parents accepting the choices of their children. Unfortunately, if critics were to start reviewing movies based on the quality of their message, then the entire film critical canon would have to be revised instantly, for some of the worst movies have the best intentions and some of the best movies show the worst of what lies in the human heart. 1 can in good conscience laud the intentions and efforts of Shark Tale, but not the film itself; at least not entirely.

This was just one in the series of changes and hardships she has gone through. Her father, who had worked as a policeman since she was born, was laid off and her grandfather passed away in March of her second semester. Her aunt was having problems with miscarriages. When her aunt finally gave birth; she gave birth to twins. One died and the other was born prematurely. Her aunt almost lost her life due to the amount ofblood lost. Jess decided that she needed another change in her life. Like Bill and Molly, Jess was oriented by the campus aid. She used a cane for the first semester, but decided during the winter break she would take"a trip. Jess went to Guiding Eyes for the Blind, in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. There she met her new best friend, Taco. Taco is a black Labrador retriever. He was personally matched according to Jess's walking speed, her ability to handle his pull on the leash, and personality. Jess is always going through changes and Taco is a dog that can easily adapt to those changes. He is a perfect fit for Jess. Taco can not be petted while wearing his collar. He is not to be fed from the table with scraps of food. That will only make him beg for food in a store or restaurant. If you yell or get mad, he can sense it. Jess is very close to Taco. She has not spent more than three days away from him in the past two years she has been al Lock Haven. "He's not just my friend. Jess Snyder was born with Leber's Congential Amaurosis, a rare kind of blindness caused by a defective autosomal recessive, which occurs at birth. Jess does have a little bit of vision, She can see shadows, lights, and >hades; but her judgment and perception are not enough to sec. j \ Jess went to public school all her life. She had a full-time aid with her from second grade until fifth grade, Then she had a part-time aid for only two classes in sixth and eighth grade. When she was in high school, just like Bill and Molly, after a few days with the guide. she was on her own. It was tough for Jess to grow up blind, but it only got worse because of the kids making fun of her. "That was worse than anything," Jess said. Maybe this helped her to find what she wanted to major in college. Maybe she couldn't educate people about the blind when she was young, but maybe now she can. Jess is a senior majoring in early childhood education. This will allow her to teach infants to third grade. She chose Lock Haven because it is close to her hometown of Lewistown, Pa, and Lock Haven had a good education program. Jess uses a lot of special computer programs and devices designed to help her take notes, read books, and do homework assignments. She uses programs called "Jaws" and "Open Book" He's not jusl my pet. He's my (hat help her scan pages from eyes," said Jess.

It will vary depending on who she is with. Living off campus was a very scary move for Jess. Jess spent three years living in Russell Hall and Woolridge Hall; until she finally moved to Campus Village. She had to familiarize herself with a whole new environment and surroundings, and so did Taco. The main reason why she moved offcampus was to build her confidence. "I love it, the confidence I've built." she said. "I was really apprehensive about moving down here." Through all the changes in her life, Taco has been an amazing dog for Jess. She suggests that if another blind student comes to Lock Haven and wants to have a seeing-eye dog, that they should spend a semester learning their way around campus using a cane. "It's hard for you and a dog to learn at the same time," Jess said. After college, Jess plans to teach, and she is already planning her wedding to her fiance whom she met while in New York with Taco. The wedding is set for July 16, 2005. Jess already has a wedding dress picked out. One of Jess's pet peeves ■ people who judge others on their looks or what they appear to be on the outside, something that she has dealt with in her youth and to an extent today. Jess offered these words of advice, "Don't judge a book by its cover." The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) describes any person who has a physical or mental condition which substantially limits one or more major activities. Dr. Reynol Junco, the director of disability services at Lock Haven University, said that there are 165 students with disabilities enrolled with his office. With the new enrollments, there might be approximately 30 more students added. Lock Haven will always insure that a person will have total access to all programs, regardless of having a disability or not. Bill, Molly and Jess use the same devices and methods to walk around the campus through the services provided from the university, but that is where their similarities end. Yes, they all have overcome a disability in life, but they have lived totally different lives. They are just like you and I. They each have a story to tell. life in the "Real World:" Ttuo castmembers share their stories ______________ the difference. You and me and all our friends, such an important race we face. Though Dave Matthews and his band didn't have much to say about politics m Vtmf S&t, as they kicked off the Vote for Change 4our in State College, those on hand could feel the message through the music. Even those that were intoxicated to the point that they don't remember any details about the ' show know that it was a special night at the Bryce Jordan Center. Regardless of who wins the presidential election, years down the road many who attended will think back and recall the fond memories of that night. They will proudly admit that they were there at that place, at that time, when several of music's finest performers came together with one cause. That one cause is getting people to go to the polls on November 2 and put their opinion down on a ballet. "The main thing I want you to do is speak your voice by going out and voting," Dave Matthews said, as the concert began to wind down. "It doesn't really matter who you vote for, just as long as you voice it." The Dave Matthews Band joined Ben Harper and the Innocent Thieves, Jurassic 5 and My Morning Jacket in kicking off the week-long tour. Matthews himself took the stage to welcome the first opening band, My Morning Jacket, who took the stage a bit after 6 p.m., performing for a small and slowly growing crowd. By the time Jurassic 5, the second opening band, took the stage, seats were still scarcely filled but the crowd had begun to grow more rapidly. Predictably, when Befi Harper and the Innocetft Thieves hit the the CT0VV be8an t0 stead,, y flow °Pe ng w<™ politically char8ed "Oppression," Harper's beseeching voide encased in the re 88 ae F™** by his group of inrufrttrhaps l~d son* f the most P°,llical ,m of Atter a short sel H 1 he gave way t0 Matthews Band, who fiaHfc took the sta& e a ,,tt,e Mm f P- m By that time the enti^ venue had filled up nearly to ifc "N* "' - - Haven students listened as two reality show stars talked about making it through college and the "real world," last Thursday night. Ace and Leah, from MTV's The Real World. Paris, dished their thoughts on the future, pre-judging people, and of course, real world gossip, at a program sponsored by the SCC and HAC. Ace, who spent seven and a half years in college, said his first three years were particularly lough. "I was focused on the future, and not living for the day," he problem was, it was easy to fix. "Make every single day the best day of your life," he said. "Then the future will be made up ofthe best days ofyour life." Ace currently owns or coowns seven different businesses. The businesses range from nightclubs and bars to a steak house and 24-hour gym. "lite world is run by C students," he said. Ace proves his point; he himself was a C student while in college. Ace and Leah lived in Paris for four months while on The Real World. Leah learned a lot about herself and others while was, but that wasn't who I was," she said. Upon entering the house, Leah had many preconceived notions about whom she would meet. She considers that the worst mistake she could have made. "The Real World is a great opportunity to learn about yourselves and others," she said. After the season ended, Leah was grateful for the opportunity because she was able to change. "It gives you the opportunity to look at yourself," she said. "You are so young that you can fix the bad stuff." Both members of season 13 briefly, but have since gone their separate ways due to the jumpstart ofher modeling career. Although Leah dated offand on while on the Real World and the Inferno, she is currently unattached. She keeps in touch with Dan-ell and has plans to visit Giuseppe in Florence soon. Ace and Leah both agreed that if they had the opportunity to do it all over again, they would. Ace would have traveled more while he was there, although he would like to visit Paris again someday. Leah said she would have changed her behavior along with a lot of other things. The Dave Matthews Band's knack for impromptu solos and weird noises from Dave himself made a few songs last all night. When a performer can, at any point throughout a show, not say a word but make a strange noise into a microphone and receive a standing ovation for it, there must be something special going on. Matthews did just that when a string broke on his guitar. He managed to turn it into a 15minute jam fest filled with peculiar faces and strange noises and not a single word, unless you count grunts and a few "ohh's" and "ahh's." After performing for nearly 2-hours, The Dave Matthews Band thanked the crowd one last time, jammed out to "All Along the Watchtower," and walked offthe stage with a wave to the audience. _ See "Concert" on page B7 ___rf_T_V______ mm\u\ _H_____I •A §ww* n «ra __V_M___t __ • 11 mlMMi mm December 20, 2004January 9, 2005 IWwr OWWnvilkV Winn* SrwW Km W*' #i #* upon us.
