Lock Haven Unmemtf'g Student Newspaper-m Lock Haven, Pemmsvtvania Friday, September 26, 2003 Volume 58 Issue 4 Students rally for education State System seeking new beverage provider Corrine Smith Staff Reporter I Janelle Steen Staff Reporter Students rallied for their education Tuesday afternoon in front of Price Auditorium. Lashonna Andrews, co-president of the Black Student Union, led the rally with the help of Lock Haven University's APSCUF president, Stephen Hicks, Ph.D. Andrews hoped the rally would allow students' voices to be heard. "We are showing the administration...we care about our education," she told the audience. "Do we ever want a strike?" she asked. While the answer was a resounding "no," some students understand the need for a strike if a compromise between APSCUF and the State System The search for a new beverage provider is underway for the State System of Higher Education (SSHE) as its tenyear contract with Pepsi comes to a close June 30. Under the current contract, Pepsi provides each university with $2,000 in marketing and promotional items annually such as hats, t-shirts, and frisbees. Here at LHU, these "freebies", chosen by both the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) and Food Services, are given away at different events on campus throughout the year, such as Campus Craze, according to Dr. Linda Koch, Vice President of Student Affairs. The major competitors for the bid are Coca-Cola and Pepsi, but the SSHE is also interested in student's opinions about smaller company products like Arizona Teas or Sobe. "If students like these products enough to buy them at our convenience store or the bookstore, we would much rather have them buy them here than off campus," said Koch. A request for proposal, or RFP, will be drafted for both major bottlers based in large part on the results of a survey being conducted through university e-mail on all campuses. The survey is sponsored by the of Higher Education cannot be reached. Evan Reibsome, a junior at LHU, said, "I don't want [teachers] to strike, but I understand if they do. I think they're justified if they do." "The professors arc good," added. he "They deserve better wages and better healthcare." Most students are concerned about the future of their already paid tuition and their semester if a strike occurs. Laura Webster, a student at the university, asked Hicks what would happen if the semester were cut short and tuition were not reimbursed. Hicks said there would more than likely be a class action suit against the university. "You're supposed to get education in return for your money." See STUDENTS, pg. 3 « BJ Steven A. Beatty/The Eagle Eye Lashonna Andrews, top, addresses students and faculty in front of Price Auditorium as Del Sellers looks on. Andrews, along with Dr. Stephen Hicks, APSCUF President, bottom, informed students about reasons for the possible strike and also about what could happen if one did occur. APSCUF upset over SSHE offer Kanchan Mahara Classifieds Editor "Strike is our last resort. We really do not want strike, but we have been pushed very far," said The disagreements between Steven Hicks, the president of the State System of Higher APSCUF Lock Haven Chapter Education (SSHE) and the last Monday in an open forum. The contract between Association of Pennsylvania and the SSHE expired APSCUF State College and Universities Faculties (APSCUF) might lead on June 30, 2003, and no agreefaculty to go for strike. The ment has been reached yet. The major disagreements revolve next meeting is scheduled on around salaries, health benefit Oct. 3, 2003.

Once thc companies make their bids, the SSHE Leadership Committee, which includes all 14 state system university presidents, will decide what bottler to go with. Koch adds that the Chancellor's will office undoubtedly have a say in the matter as well. The money the SSHE saves with this new contract will be absorbed back into each university's foundation, further benefiting students. "This will give us an opportunity to see what we like in this contract. We can reinforce the good things about the first contract and fix the shortcomings," said Koch. Unlike the first contract, the new one will only be for five years, with one or two years' extension. Koch reiterated that the survey would play a vital role in the SSHE's decision. "Hopefully we will have good participation for the survey. I would like to see fifty percent here at LHU," said Koch. As of Thursday morning, 1,443 LHU students had submitted a survey, ranking Lock Haven number 2 out of 14 schools, trailing only behind Indiana State University. Out of the entire SSHE, 12,153 students had submitted surveys as of Thursday. Chancellor Michael Becker announced no intention ofrevising any of the disagreed issue and told APSCUF negotiators to go ahead and take strike authorization vote." The major issues are: The salary: Many faculty members are upset that they have been denied their step increase for the 2003-2004. A step increase is an annual increase based on years of service.

The former president of one university recently retired. In his final year, his salary was Tunisian professors visiting LHU tor. The State System proposed to change the health care plan from the Indemnity plan to the Preferred Provider Option (PPO). "This package will limit our options on doctors. PPO is located in big cities and it is not accessible to a number of our campuses. It will be hard for the faculty to use it in a small town," said Steven Hicks. The State System also proposed a 10 percent premium co-pay on the total expenses. However, it did not implement any co-pay for administrators' and managers' insurance, nor does it require executives' and managers' to select PPO's Educational quality: One of the major issues that were APSCUF disagreed upon with the SSHE is increasing the class size and work load on faculty. According to the expired agreement, 35 students is the standard class size and if a faculty member has anything more than 35 students in a class, the faculty work credit (an extra amount paid per hour) increases by 1.33 percent. "The class size is getting worse every year and the work load on professors is affecting educational quality," said Hicks. He also blamed Harrisburg for trying to run educational institutions in a business model. But Gluck denied that State System schools have class size problems. The statistics given by Gluck in the phone interview on Thursday said that the average class size of lower division courses is 29 students and that for junior and senior level courses, the average class size is 17. "Although the issue here is class size and education quality, there is no proposal from the faculty that would impact class size," added Gluck. According to the State System press release on Oct. 10, 2002, the total enrollment in the 14 universities was 101,546 in the fall of 2002.

C,. adet Keith „ By Craig Miller Guiswite, a Secondary Education/English Major completed the Army National Advanced Leadership Camp (NALC) at Fort Lewis, Wash, this summer. NALC is a 32-day camp, which tests the leadership, physical stamina, and mental abilities of cadets. This camp is the most important training event that an Army ROTC cadet must pass before he or she can become commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. When asked about his camp experience, Guiswite said "It really gave me a chance to put everything that 1 have learned together. It gave me an oppor- tunity to test my skills and ', , , make many new friends at the same t j me » ' 0pon his return from camp. Guiswite has assumed the role as the Military Science III Commander, where he is in charge of the Junior ROTC cadets.

However, he carries out his duties in the Army Reserves by training one weekend each a month and participating in two weeks of summer training each year. Once Guiswite graduates from Lock Haven University and becomes commissioned into the Army he will attend Officer Basic School (OBC). After graduating OBC, he plans to continue serving with the 629th Transportation Company, while pursuing his civilian career as a high school English teacher, Students urged to stay informed part of negotiations, but com- From SSHE on page 2 West Chester University experienced the largest increase, adding 340 students, or nearly 2.8 percent, while Lock Haven University had the largest percentage increase, adding 322 students, or nearly 7.6 percent. The State System pro- posed the hiring of graduate assistants or other technically proficient non-faculty personnel to teach science laboratories. The expired contract had prohibited any graduate assistants in lab classes. "Our students choose this university because they want professors, not inexperienced TA's in the lab," said Hicks. Gluck argued that faculty does not have to be physically present in the labs at all time. So, Harrisburg thought of graduate assistants. The State System also proposed removing the clause that limits the number of teiJrfcrary part-time and temporary full-time faculty. This proposal means, according to Professor Cloud, no limits in number of temporary faculty. The temporary faculty will be hired each semester. There would be no benefits, health care plan and, salary increment for them. "We will agree if they want to increase some percent in that, but we cannot accept complete removal of the clause" said Cloud. He also added that although the agreement only allows for the faculty to consist of seven percent temporary members, Lock Haven already has 18 percent temporary facul- In response to the part time faculty issue, Gluck said that as enrollment in the 14 state universities is increasing, the State System wants to make sure that the students have access to courses and the class size is small. Gluck also said that hiring part time faculty would be very helpful in terms of flexibility in expenses and students' access to courses. Nevertheless, according thc professor Cloud, the State System also wants to remove the clause that does not allow the management to hire a faculty promise is limited by the reality of our financial situations," said happen?

The next meeting is scheduled on Oct. 3, 2003. The local APSCUF faculty will vote for strike authorization on Sept. 29, 2003. "We are confident that we will get above 90 percent support from the faculty. We will have a collective bargaining in the next negotiation meeting," "Lot of decisions will be made on the state level. I am getting the same information as you are getting," continued Koch. Roy Stewart said that the institution will operate, but everything will depend upon the number of professors who will be on strike and how long would it would continue. "The State System and 14 universities are prepared," sajd Gluck. He continues that each university has planned contingencies in case of a strike and the State System's goal is to make certain that students do not lose time towards the completion of their degrees. "We should not think Oct. 3rd as the last date for negotiations. It might take more than that or even continue through out the semester," added Gulck.

Graham for more than 20 years, during which I've interviewed him on a number of issues, and I've always found his answers to be thought-provoking. The specific thought they provoke is: "Huh?" Here's a true example. Ten years ago, I found out that the last remaining accordion-repair training program in the United States, located in Winona, Minn., was closing, leaving our nation's vital accordion resources dangerously dependent on foreigners. I called Sen. Graham's office, and he got on the phone personally. In rapid succession, he made the following statements, which I swear I am not making up: "Just last night I ate at an Italian restaurant which, like thousands of other Italian restaurants across America, is now without music, because their accordion is in disrepair and has been returned from Change your mind, change your major Gabriel Kotter Staff Reporter I was sitting in the library the other day, pounding away at some math problems, when three ladies sat down at the next table. Back in the day, when I had more nerve and fewer children, I would have made some excuse to go over and introduce myself, but marriage tends to put the brakes on those types of plans. But there is no law against eavesdropping. Well, it IS rude, but it's not my fault if they talk loudly in the library.... They were rude first, right? Anyway, one of the students was going on and on about how she wanted to change her major. She was having trouble in classes very early on this year, leading me to believe she was not a freshman. She said her classes were hard, and she was starting to question her own ability to learn the material and her desire to continue on in her current major. Her friends were doing more listening than anything, and were not giving her a whole lot of advice. One did suggest she should speak with her advisor... good call if you ask me. Later they left, leaving me to hope she gets back on course. The first time I was here, I made a lot of friends, and I can only remember maybe three or four who chose to change majors. They all had solid reasons...or maybe more to the point, they really weren't cemented in their old majors when the first started at Lock Haven University. One guy changed majors three times, as I recall. In my opinion his big problem was that he was trying to balance out what he liked to do with what he thought would pay well once he left school and found a job. That is a tough call, but I saw him two years ago and he told me he enjoys his job. So all the waffling did no harm. He told me even though it took five years to graduate, he was glad he made the right decision, even if it took making more than one. He said it was kind of like sailing a ship without a compass, but luckily the stars were there to guide him. (Yeah, he is a little weird.) If you are not careful, and if you forget to look around once in a while, you too could stray off course. We see this all the time when we stand next to someone in the elevator, or maybe near someone else in a restaurant. They go on and on about how miserable they are, either at home or at work, or both. When I hear people complain like this, I just want to go over and shake them. WAKE UP! YOU ARE EEPWALKING THROUGH When I had a real job in the real world, part of what I did was to meet people and either help solve a problem, talk about some issue, or just ask them for information...it was a great way to get to know the people in my community. Many times we would talk about our professions, and I could not help but take notice how many people hated their line of work. Not disliked it, hated it. I felt sorry for them. Not everyone can be lucky enough to hold down a job they enjoy, but anyone who goes to college is taking the very best first step to that end. I cannot help but marvel at the courage young people show today, making an investment in their future...with their time and money, hoping it all pays off in the end. It does take courage, just like starting over, to a degree. My friends ask me all the time...why did you quit and go back to school. I usually reply, "Why not?" I did not like what I was doing, felt I was off course, and righted myself. Good decision? Ask me again in three years...but no one makes a big deal out of changing their major, do they? It is ok to 'drop/add' in your schedule. That's why they give you a few weeks to do just that. students who College change their majors should be applauded for taking a close look at what they thought they wanted to do, gave it even more thought...then looked around for something else. Ifthey take their time, do a little research about the new path, and avoid any snap decisions, it just has to make sense. It's your life. You only get one. Carpe diem!

In effect, the industry is beckoning to an overlooked pool of job candidates and saying: We need you, yes, but more important, we want you. "If you look at the roots of this profession, we really evolved out of that "40s model of being a doctor's helper," says Deborah Burton, executive director of the Oregon Center for Nursing. "Men were treated terribly or made to feel there's something wrong with them. It hasn't been until the last 15 years or so that we've talked about it being a problem. We're changing a very sick and inaccurate image as we go after men." Johnson & Johnson, the New Brunswick, N.J.-based health care products company, started addressing the nursing shortage in March 2002 with a $20 million print and video advertising campaign that prominently featured men in the profession. Of 70 or so nurses profiled on its Web site, about a At Hackensack University Medical Center, recruiters this fall are planning a campaign all their own: pitching to all-male high schools in North Jersey. "More and more hospitals are trying to get men into the mix of things," said Patricia Brady, a nursing recruiter for the hospital. "It brings a different perspective. It adds a nice dynamic to the unit." Brady said recruiters press upon all prospective employees, male and female, the personal reward of caring for the sick, but also the good pay and benefits and the advantage of gaining new skills. These are crucial selling points in a job market still smarting from the failure of so many Nationally, the median base pay for registered nurses is $41,642, according to a survey by Allied Physicians. In New Jersey, the numbers are even better: Starting pay for RNs is in the low- to mid-$50,000 range, according to the nursing center at Rutgers. Tack on advanced degrees, and pay can nearly double. "You don't have to work a Monday-to-Friday dayhour shift," Brady says. "As your career evolves, you may start as a staff nurse. Ten to 15 years from now, you may want to go into another kind of nursing. We're really facing a shortage. It's one of the fields where you don't have to worry about finding a job." Turi, who was a middle school teacher in Paterson, N.J., for three years, says he's surprised by his level of interest in his new studies, even as he admits to the emotional and financial strain of returning to school. "I was about to be tenured. When you get tenure, that's pretty much it. You get very comfortable and locked in," he says. "Before I got locked in, I got out. I have friends who are teachers asking, "What are the prerequisites? I'm interested.'

Instead of beating your head against the wall, just stop thinking and trying to figure it out. Do something physical (exhausting and literally a "no brainer") or something that touches your feelings (watch a tearjerker or action movie, look at old pictures of your family, call or write to the people in your life that you're grateful to and have not contacted, or see a therapist who empathizes with your pain.), there's a good chance that you'll become unblocked; 4) Finally, and I'm not kidding accomplished appeared to have ADD.

The second half was alot of the same, as the Eagles scored two more goals. The first goal was a gift to the birthday girl Jaralai Powell from Erin Walsh. That gave Powell her first goal of the season, and it was perfect timing. Mansfield would get on the board after 88 minutes went by in the game. The Eagles would finish the scoring off with a goal by Caitlin Sultzbach. The Eagles flexed their mus- cles on the mountaineers by showing them how deep their team is. They got alot of help from their young players who played quality minutes throughout thc game. The Eagles had a stcller performance out of Brandi Kessler who added 5 saves to her stats.
