Dr. Kwesi Aggrey, along with his wife Debbie in the PUB lobby September 27th. During the afternoon, faculty, students, and members of the community stopped by to meet and welcome the pair. Dr. Aggrey has brought his family from New Jersey, where he was an associate provost at Kamapo College. Mrs. Hamiin-Aggrey said. "He has a lot of experience, and a genuine interest in helping people and programs run smoothly." Some things are undergoing LHU, "because of the challenges in a growth mode." Dr. Aggrey hopes to, "lead the fac- ulty into the change." Aggrey said, "I found Lock Haven University to have a terrific faculty and interesting research projects, and 1 want to keep encouraging that." Dr. Aggrey has been working on these issues of research and first year experience along side Dr. Lucille Tabler, associate professor at LHU Tabler said. "It has been a pleasure, he is open-minded, and he is concerned about students and faculty." According to Aggrey, he wants to bring hard work and interests, It is perfectly normal for students to change their major or enter college in exploratory studies. Career Services can assist students so they feel comfortable about their indecision and offer various ways to help them try and get their careers in check. One of the programs they offer is FOCUS. Located on the web, FOCUS is one of the top three career planning systems in the United States, according to the National Association of Colleges & Employers. If students are interested in broadening their career horizons or in mapping out their career and educational goals and plans, FOCUS should be on their to-do list. FOCUS is a self-paced guidance tool that assists with self assessment and career exploration. It examines students' current career planning status, their interests, work values, personality type and education goals. FOCUS helps students learn more about themselves and the work world. Students reply to questions regarding their current career planning status. Based on their answers, FOCUS proposes how students can best use the system to satisfy their personal career preparation needs and goals. Once a student answers integrity to the university, and an atmosphere of shared governance. His goals include bringing the student and academic affairs together. He also would like to build upon a student-centered administration. President Miller happily welcomed the new provost and gave him some encouraging compliments. "He is very student-oriented and fair. He has an open door policy," Miller said. The provost is the chief academic officer of LHU and stands between LHU's faculty, staff, and student communities. LbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbV The provost oversees academic programs & priorities, ensures for quality of the faculty, and maintains educational excellence. describing their work values and skills, FOCUS scores and summarizes students' results in their personal profile that will be used for exploring various occupations. FOCUS then proceeds to identify professions that match students' interests and value profiles. Students can analyze occupations that appeal to them and express their likes and dislikes about the significant aspects of each job. Finding information about a specific profession is a useful feature of FOCUS. Students can search for information for any occupation they are curious about. FOCUS gives a description of the occupation's duties, earnings, educational requirements, skill demands, work values satisfactions and outlook for job openings. Also available is a side by side look at thc similarities and differences of two different employment options. Students with only a few spare minutes a day can benefit from FOCUS as well. It saves each student's information so they do not have to start over. Students can access FOCUS through the Career questions Brandy Rissmiller Staff Reporter http://www.lhup.edu/career. In the left hand column there are various links and FOCUS is the third one down. . mm- ■■ ■ First time FOCUS users need to create a new account and the key code is haven. Once students are in FOCUS they can choose any option in the left hand column from the main menu. In the right hand column students can take advantage of their results, tools available, and various websites to begin to put their future in perspective. Hannah Thompson is a Peer Career Facilitator and believes the best aspect of FOCUS is the personality test "It matches up careers to the test. It bases careers on different aspects of your life that you may not even think about," said Thompson. Sade Graves, a sophomore at Lock Haven University, used FOCUS when she was thinking about changing her major and recommends students to take advantage of the program. "It gives you a lot of ideas by looking at different options," says Graves. FOCUS can be extremely helpful and is worth the time students invest in it. Students are. however, strongly encouraged to stop by Akeley 114 or call 893-2181 to set up an appointment with Joan Welker, Career Services Director, because FOCUS is just one of many aids in deciding their future. They should also bring their printouts from FOCUS to their appointment. W■ * MMu BBBB Dr. Kwesi E.

Dr. Hossain. professor of anthropology and sociology, and Matt Wise. Vice President ofthe SCC. led a periodic discussion group open to faculty, students, or staffto discuss current issues. "We never held a forum where students, staff, and faculty participated in a forum to discuss issues. I recall this is a first casual way. The government's role in reconstructing the south, the future of the area, and the finances needed to rebuild it were some of the different points that were brought up through the discussion The participants also discussed the country's obligations to help and concerns of the oil refineries, the rising gas prices and suggestions concerning what people can do to help. The possibility of New Orleans relocating to the Kansas area was the most debated pro- I posal. The comparison of Katrina's devastation and the Sept. 11 attacks brought up criticism of the political officials, financial duty and political power: "Students can feel comfortable talking about how they feel on current issues in a casual setting." Matthew Wise, senior said. l or those students who are interested to talk in the comfortable setting Wise spoke of. the next discussions are October 20th and November 17th in the PUB multipurpose room. The topics will be decided depending on the most recent news to date.

It was rewarding to work with not only the campus, but thc community as well." The baskets prepared were Longaberger baskets and each one was individually thcmcd for Breast Cancer Awareness, entertainment, school items and Lock Haven University. Basket Bingo has been a Family Day event for the past four years and the PanHellenic Council is planning on continuing thc program in thc future. "It was nice to finally see such a good turnout for Basket Bingo. All the family members that attended seemed to enjoy themselves and helping out with the program was a lot of fun," said Sigma Kappa President Jenny Charney. The PanHellenic Council is looking forward to doing other types of fundraising events for the American Red Cross. If anyone is interested in working with the Greek women please contact Steffanic McFarlane at smcfar- The PanHellenic Council, which consists of Alpha Sigma Tau. Sigma Kappa, Sigma Sigma Sigma and Zeta Tau Alpha, organized a Basket Bingo event and invited all families, faculty and community to come join them. Over $1,000 was raised and donated to thc American Red Cross. Over 20 women from the PanHellenic Council helped get donations from various businesses in town, put the baskets together, advertised for the event and worked the event on the actual day. "It was nice to see all the sororities come together and be one while raising money for such an important cause," said Recruitment Chair for the Council Steffanie McFarlane. la(a lhup.edu "The sisters from the four soror- Students express concern over grades after Hurricane Katrina Rachel Flarlty The Reveille - BATON ROUGE. La. Students' concerns are turning to the effects unexpected stress will have on their concentration in class and ultimately their grades now that the immediate effects of Hurricane Katrina seem to be over. Daniel Camper, petroleum engineering senior, said his house was destroyed and pos- sessions lost in Hurricane Katrina. Camper, like many others, had displaced family living with him while he tried to balance school and work. C amper said he is concerned with how his grades will be affected for the semester. "This was already a do-ordie semester for me." Camper said. "I am definitely worried, but it is hard to focus when you're worried about your house. One of my parents still has their job, but even with that security, it's hard to concentrate." Camper said the numerous University class cancellations pushed tests together, and that although one of his professors has shown compassion for extenuating circumstances, most professors don't seem to care. Amy Cavendar, University wellness education coordinator, said many Katrina-affccted students who have sought help from her office have an inability to concentrate, a lack ofmaterial and financial resources and general disruption ofplans. "Common problems affecting college students are feelings of anxiety, difficulty recalling academic material, difficulty sleeping and intrusive thoughts or worries," Cavendar said. Cavendar said these symptoms will have a negative effect on learning because people who are under stress or are depressed have a more difficultrime learning. Common signs of stress overload include inability to keep commitments, feelings of being trapped and apathy for personal appearance, Cavendar said. "These can be signs of a clinical disorder such as depression or anxiety disorder, and students should contact the Office of Disability Services to see may be available," Cavendar said. Cavendar said the combination of academic stress, sudden financial crisis and the uncer- tainty of the future could be damaging to any student. "For some students, school is their life, so anything that disrupts school can have a disastrous effect...and now they may be feeling extreme despair or desperation," Cavendar said. Mark Grant, University media management professor, said he has tried to be lenient with his students by allowing some late assignments. "Maybe I am at fault for it. but I feel like I have to do that." Grant said. "When you have fifteen people living at your apartment and your research assignment is due, what's more impor- tant?" Grant said his department, the Manship School of Mass Communication, sent a letter to all staff asking them to be as accommodating as possible to new students. Zach Materne, displaced business management senior from the University of New Orleans, had only 20 credit hours left to complete his degree before he was forced to evacuate. He said he had hand picked his teachers and classes before Katrina hit. "I was in the home-stretch now I am taking freshman classes." said Materne, who added that living in a crowded, unfamiliar city adds to his difficulties. The threat of poor grades also poses a threat to students preparing to attend graduate school. They may not be accepted because ofone poor semester. Bridget Verret, associate director ofthe Flores Masters of Business Program, said the school is making accommodations for current students but is unsure how the admissions board will deal with next year's incoming students who struggled with grades during this semester. "In the long term, it will be a case-by-case situation." Verret said. The graduate program accepts approximately 72 students per year, and most are from Louisiana. "Most of our current students have lost houses or businesses, and we've met their needs on an individual basis offering new night classes and accepting visiting students," Verret said. -- Courtesy of U-WIRE Services Online ~jjjUji ■! flfl H fl VI flj flfl flaJB Kfl flflflflflflB fl I ' I flflyf Kfjl flfl Xm 4fl m\\ Am J* Hbv Jb fl fl Dbk H ll * m. . aL \' ~* Pffa Psa BBt mmT W 41 flitflfl fl ■ Bflfll fl,-s 'a bB^Bt^B fl m\\ WW> B"''.'; •' ROTC cadets prepare for their MAC firing of a M16A2 in a program designed for freshmen, sophomores and juniors on Sept. 17 Nathaniel 11 a mm Guest Writer Thc Army Reserve Officer Training Corps held a program in firing on a Multipurpose Arcade Combat System (MACS), firing a M16A2 weapon, and learning Drill and Ceremony for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors on Sept. 17. The MACS is like a video game system that is modified and then hooked up to a mock M16 rifle that helps to familiarize cadets with the feel of a M16 and allows them to focus on the four fundamentals of basic rifle marksmanship: a steady position, a good sight picture, steady breath control, and a gentle trigger squeeze. techniques. April I rye shot 40 out of 40 while C hris Joliet shot 37 out of 40. "I qualify on an M16 once a year with the Army National Guard." said Fryc. "So doing this wasn't new to me, but then again, it is only once a year. I have to admit that I was rather surprised that at least one of the shots didn't miss." Another event was Drill and Ceremony which has been in use since ancient times to keep order while marching soldiers. A thorough block of instruction was given, which allowed novices to Later the cadets were shuttied to a firing range where they could test their skills. Cadets were issued a real M16 and locked and loaded live ammunition and fired at targets. Rather than typical pop-up targets, paper targets were placed up and cadets were expected to place twenty-six out of forty rounds into them. For twenty rounds, cadets had to lie on the ground and could use sandbags to place the weapon on while firing. After the first twenty rounds were expelled and the next twenty rounds were issued, cadets had to move from behind the sand- Cadets were able to gain valuable leadership training by pushing themselves and take initiative to be active rather than watch. "I truly have the desire to learn how to become a good leader, to make a difference wherever and whenever I can as an officer in the United States Army," said Frye "And to lead America's sons and daughters to the best of my abilities."

Each year, Lee Jeans desigtates one day as Lee National Denim Day and invites people to wear denim to work in exchange for a $5 donation to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. In cclcbraion of the program's 10-year anniversary. this year's fundraising goal is $10 million, an amount to which LHU is working hard to contribute. "Lee National Denim Day is extremely important to our faculty and staff, as many of them have been personally touched by the disease," said Elsa Winch, Associate Professor and Instructional Librarian at Stevenson Library. "We enjoy our participation tremendously because it empowers everyone to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer, it's a great educational program within our work walls, and it is so easy for us to implement." Every dollar raised through this day will go directly to Ihe Komen Foundation to support breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment programs that might otherwise go unfunded. "Every year we get thousands of letters from individuals who are thrilled to have the opportunity to make a donation they know will have lasting impact on breast cancer programs," said Susan Braun. president and chief executive officer of the Komen Foundation.

Kristen Buonflglio Guest Columnist Matthew McKeague News Editor Nintendo and Doubt and fait the dating game Having your heart broken is like being run over by a million severely-obese elephants and then realizing that each elephant ! left a big heaping present on top ofyou. Wow. that's sure an odd opening paragraph isn't it? I once thought I would never have to deal with being sad from a broken heart, but recently my love bug has been sprayed with a can of Raid and smashed with a giant Monty Python-esque foot. Dealing with a loss such as this, is almost worse than death. If you know grandpa has passed away and can't see you, then that provokes a bad feeling, but if you know that grandpa just doesn't want to see you so he moved to thc Bahamas to go spend time with other grandchildren, then it is a lot worse. Another bad aspect is finally realizing how great and magnificent of a feeling being with that special someone makes you feel and then having it ripped away from you like people's rights were in the Patriot Act. The situation lets you experience life at its best and brightest moments and then throws you down to its worse, darkest, deepest realm of reality. It would be similar to watching any one of the three excellent Lord of The Rings movies and half way through it turning into some absolutely cheesy soap opera. An unfortunate circumstance that comes along with being in the lonely heart's club band involves corny love songs on the radio. Those songs can eat right through you in the same vein of a giant container of acid being dumped upon oneself. Any song with the word love in it has the power to induce tears worse than cutting onions for 27 hours or being told you have to sit through a Pauly Shore movie marathon without a device to gouge your eyes out. The same situation goes with movies too. Public displays of affection by other people make you physically sick or emotionally overwhelmed and anybody having too much fun is instantly considered annoying. Then, of course, is the absolutely ridiculous fact that almost anything can remind you of your past love. "Oh man, this is the spot my ex and I had our first kiss." "There's a cat. my ex had cats, sniffle." "Is that cheese on that sandwich my ex loved cheese." Even minuscule word phrases or commonly-said references to a former love can make you feel like ... adding Jack Kevorkian on your AIM buddy list. But of course, I know these feelings are nothing special or new. I know these observations have more than likely been made before, but maybe this perspective can help people know they're not alone or at least help myself. Most people have gone through getting a piece of them yanked out of their body, and no, body parts removed by use of farm equipment don't count. To have an ounce of optimism, I guess it's just another life learning experience like putting a hand on a stove, jamming a fork into an outlet, or mocking the mafia because you literally thought they made people sleep with the fishes. Attempting to find love is like trying to beat the ultimate boss in a videogame. While you might keep getting hurt and repeatedly crushed and maimed, you'll still keep trying to achieve what you want because it's worth it. In the videogame we call life, a broken heart can be viewed as experience points or a level up in 'dealing with pain' skills that will help you later, and right now I'm ready pick up the controller and try ... again. Jesus answered them, 'Have faith in God. Truly I tell you, ifyou say to this mountain "Be taken up and thrown into the sea, " and if you do not doubt in your heart, but believe that you will come to pass, it will be done for you. So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespass- ' es,'" Mark 11:20-25. How often have you heard someone around you right before a test saying "I just know I'm going to fail this test. No matter how much I study I just can't and won't pass this test. Why bother?" It's not uncommon for us to have a negative attitude about It is also not something. uncommon for us to doubt not just ourselves, but other people, and even God. All three I have witnessed at some point in my life, and even experienced as well. Doubting is a way of life. Even Jesus's disciples doubted at some point during their lives. No one person can say that they have not doubted something in their lives at least once. I certainly know I have doubted many things growing up, especially during my Christian walk. 1 believe that it was a special object that I discovered during my doubting periods of God that made me believe and have faith. Back in 2002, I will admit, I was an atheist, but I was leaning more towards agnostic because 1 wasn't sure what to think about this God that all my Christian friends were telling me about. I was so confused and lost one night after talking to my Christian friends about God. I demanded proof from them that he was real, and while they tried their best to explain the start to Parsons Union Building Lock Haven University Lock Haven, PA 17745 Newsroom: 570-893-2334 Office: 570-893-2753 Fax: 570-893-2644 Faculty Advisor Dr. Douglas Campbell Photographers Holly Lutz John Reith Editor in Chief Daniella De Luca Advertising Jess Lucarelli News Cynthia Martinez Matthew McKeague Features Jessica Stokes Jess Thompson Marissa Brunner Doug Spatafore Opinion Mike Porcenaluk Classifieds/ Copy Editor Sarah Gerhart Photo Editor Maggie Herrick Online Editor Laurie Neyhard , Cody Michalowski Maggie Swartz Melissa Trentadue Cheryl Wilbur Circulation Manager Marie Haas Business Manager Taren Smith Staff Reporters Nicole Jacobs Leona Livingston Kelly McCoomb Jaimie Monahan Nicole Pinto Timothy Pratt Brandy Rissmiller Melanie Shellhammer Pier Salamone Sarah Wojcik THE EAGLE EYE, THE OFFICIAL STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF LOCK.

I felt the door to my heart open up as I became convinced that this flower was truly a sign from God, the same one I had asked for when I asked for proof of him the night before. Faith was taking its course inside me. Having faith in something or someone is essential in order to survive the things that are thrown at us each day. Take the school test example; if we doubt ourselves that we will not do well on the test instead of being faithful and confident, we wiil do poorly. It is just a matter of how we perceive things and our attitude towards it. The important thing to always remember is that God is always with us no matter what. If we need a helping hand or proof that they saw to me, I was still dissatisfied. Finally, one my friends pulled me aside and told me to pray to God for him to show me the proof that I was looking for. I had nothing to lose, so I thought "why not?" So I prayed that night to God asking for proof of his existence. I was extremely doubtful that something would happen, and when I kept hearing just silence after asking for proof, 1 gave up and went to bed angry and still doubtful. The next morning when I got up, I took care of my usual tactics I did in the morning every school day. It was the beginning of January and I can remember it being extremely cold outside when I stepped out my front door to catch the bus. I got about a quarter of a ways down my driveway when I saw something lying on the blacktop. When I looked closer, I saw that it was a dried yellow flower in perfect condition. Not only that, when I picked it up and held it close to me, I smelled a sweet scent coming off of it. 1 knew how cold it was outside, and I didn't remember it being windy at all the night before. But I didremember the prayer I prayed the previous night asking for proof of God's existence. "Could this flower be a sign from God?" 1 wondered. doubt is near, all we have to do is ask. Another thing to remember is that God doesn't always grant us what we ask for right away. To this day I am uncertain as to why God went to the distance of giving me this physical sign that I asked for, but I know that he will not always give us physical signs or give us exactly what we want. If we pray for a car for our sixteenth birthday, chances are He probably won't give us that. 1 still have the flower that God sent mc sitting on my desk Your guess is as good as mine. But 1 was shocked at what I was seeing and smelling. Seeing the bus coming I here in my dorm room. And it still gives off that same sweet scent as strongly as it did when I found it. I find myself hold- took the flower down the end of my driveway, set it by a bush, and left for school. During that whole day I couldn't get that dried flower out of my mind. It was pretty windy outside that day also, so I figured, on the bus ride home, that the flower had blown away. But when I got off the bus that afternoon, I looked by the bush, and it was still in the same spot where I had left it ing it whenever I am doubtful of God or myself or whatever the case may be. And it helps give me faith that things will be okay and that God is always there for me when I need him. So have faith, both in yourself and in the Lord; for the Lord is good, and since he was the one who created you and loves you more than anyone in the world, you must also be good as well. Law enforcement serving injustice Kelly McCoomb Guest Columnist On Saturday night. September 24, Irssy Perez., Nelson Diaz and [, were on our way back to the dorms from celebrating Irssy's 21st birthday at Olive Garden in Williamsport. As Perez drove down Fairvicw at 8:52 P.M., a large raccoon jumped out onto the street. She tried not to hit the animal and swerved into incoming traffic. Then the car jerked back going into the right lane. The car then jumped over onto the sidewalk going toward a house, hitting a pillar of the porch. Perez held on to the wheel and turned it so as not to go into the house. If she had not turned the wheel, the car would have gone into the large tree next to the house. The car ran over an iron fence and stopped at the ROTC's pull-up pole. 1 would like to make it clear NO alcohol consumption was involved in the accident. Thc accident all happened in a matter of seconds. Shaken by the whole incident, we were lucky to have gotten out of the accident without any physical harm. Some students at the Rugby house saw the accident happen, so they called the police immediately and came over to make sure we were unhurt. The police arrived shortly afterwards. Right away the blame was put on Perez, not a word of, "Are you alright?" Officer Jim Bathurst (badge #6) started being rude to us. They pulled each of us to the side and questioned us. Perez and Diaz stated that they saw a large raccoon in the road. Officer Bathurst laughed at Perez when she told him it was a large raccoon. I did not see the raccoon because I was sleeping and woke to Nelson yelling. "Watch out!" The students watching the accident mentioned they also saw a large raccoon. The officer also was arguing with me about calling AAA, telling me 1 didn't know my insurance company and yelled at me, saying, "I don't care what you do. 1 already called a tow truck. It will be four hours till AAA gets here, but do whatever the hell you want to." Nelson, with my camera at hand, started to take pictures of the incident. Officer Bathurst yelled over to him and ridiculed the fact that he was taking photographs, but truth be told in an accident, taking pictures is generally advised. 1 guess Officer Bathurst forgot that bit oftraining. Later Monday, Perez went to get a copy of the accident report. In the report it was stated that she and others mentioned the animal was an opos- sum. I clearly heard Perez and others mention a large raccoon, but then again raccoons and opossums must be one and the same. The report also had my name spelled wrong, when the officer read it off my license. Perez pointed out the mistakes to correct records, so Officer Bathurst came over and again gave her his attitude and told her that isn't what was said. Officer Bathurst was clearly lying, but Perez kept a calm demeanor and tried to explain the problem, but he wouldn't hear any of it stating, "I'm not rewriting the report! You smashed into someone's porch and you actually think I'm going to correct the report for you?" Perez explained, "I felt, like since the day of the accident, he was very rude to my friends, and to me. He wants the playby-play of what happened but then gives us attitude. I went to check the incident report on Monday and even then he got hostile." By Perez's report, she simply asked him questions that could have been answered but instead he said things that made her feel like she had no rights. "He is a part of the justice of the peace office, and I felt the opposite from him." Perez said. "When I asked my questions, he said he wasn't going to correct the report and walked away saying he was done wasting his time on us." Jordan Snedeker, a senior of Criminal Justice hoping to become a police officer was there with Perez during the conflict with Officer Bathurst. He said. "During this stressful time for Frssy, this officer's nasty and combative attitude is not helping anything. At the very least, Irssy deserves a bit of common respect, just like the rest of the community. She was asking simple questions that warranted simple answers, but that was not what she got." He continued, "As a police officer, one must possess excellent public relation skills, which seems to be exactly what this officer is lacking. I am disgusted and appalled with the way this officer is handling this situation; he is an embarrassment to the department." Perez talked to the chief on Monday, October 3rd. The chief helped her by correcting the report. Also, the chiefapologized for the way his officer acted and said that he would talk to Officer Bathurst. This is not the first time students and faculty have c6mplained about the Lock Haven Police. A good amount ofLock Haven's economy comes from students, so the police should be considerate when dealing with the University community.

SCUPA Negotiations: A different view To the Editor: As a SCUPA (State College University Personnel Association) member and a proud alumna of Lock Haven University, 1 feel the need to write to remind fellow union members, Lock Haven University ofPennsylvania, the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, Lock Haven community members and students of the main issues and concerns behind our contract negotiations. I also hope to help others better understand the role of resident directors and professionals in the field of Student Affairs and Residence Life. As many of you are already aware, SCUPA members are facing contract negotiations. There are several issues on the table, but the main issue that I want to focus on is the outsourcing factor. The PASSHE (Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education) is proposing a clause in our contract that says they may outsource our positions. This would mean that a private organization would come into our residence halls to provide the same type of services that we as professionals currently provide. The services we currently provide include counseling with students on various issues and concerns, mediation, crisis intervention, program planning, administrative tasks, supervision of all student staff who work in our halls, ensuring safety security of all students, providing an academic environment and maintaining the general upkeep ofthe building. I am a young professional to the field of Student Affairs and Residence Life and a member of SCUPA. My experiences in thc field began as an undergraduate student at Lock Haven University. I came to Lock Haven because ofthe quality of education I knew I could receive here. The residence halls were clean, the resident assistants and resident directors were helpful, available and knowledgeable. Lock Haven quickly became home; a place of comfort and a place 1 called home. I was comfortable here because there were people in my residence hall who cared about me as an individual and a student. My resident assistant offered me support and understanding when I was homesick, my resident director provided his resident assistants with training and knowledge of student issues and concerns and ensured safety and security throughout my hall. As a junior I became one of those resident assistants who were then making a difference for the lives of students. My resident director taught me assertiveness techniques and how to establish a respectful community on my wing. I found this role to be one ofthe most valuable educational experiences ofmy college education because those interper- sonal and leadership skills and assertiveness techniques are skills and abilities I use today. My resident director made a difference in my life. Why do I tell you all of this? To me, our ongoing contract negotiations and the proposed outsourcing clause, isn't about my job and whether or not I will have one next year, it's about the future ofhigher education at Lock Haven University and the lives of the young adults who will be students at this wonderful university. We offer something special here at Lock Haven. It's something that I have not found at any other university. 1 have experienced it as a student and now as a professional. We care about our students and we look after them because we want to. Students come here because they know they will be safe in our halls and that they will receive a quality education in and out of the classroom. Why take that away from them? I feel very fortunate to work at Lock Haven University where the violence is almost non-existent, where the drug use is at a minimum compared to other universities, and where students are eager to be leaders on campus. As professionals educated in the field of Student Affairs, we work hard to edu- quality professionals managing them because, I am certain that professional resident directors develop students and provide them with skills and values that they can carry with them throughout their lives. This past August we (the Residence Life staff) received an email from a parent expressing his gratitude to our staff for the help and courtesy our staff provided him and his daughter on opening day. He expressed how thankful he was to us all for our help and understanding. That is why we do the work we do... to make a difference to our students and their families and to give them quality services. As an alumna I want to see parents feel relieved that their child is going to LHU. As a professional working in Residence Life, I truly believe that no other organization can provide students with the services and support that we currently provide them. Through my experiences as a student and professional, I hope you can see the importance of these negotiations. Please keep our students and community in mind. I ask for your support and understanding of the impact these negotiation may have on your community, the university and possibly your son, daughter, niece, nephew. cate our students about being grandchild or great grandchild. respectful members of our residence hall communities. I am proud of what we have created and maintained in our halls. I want to see the same Christine Fortuner Resident Director McEntire Hall Katrina media are vultures passes and the damage is done.

First we must cut through the wrong, but 1 think one bus can thick propaganda of the liberal carry at least 50 people on it, if media that tells us that Bush and not more. So to my calculations the feds responded too slowly. I struggled over many nights in Based on the article in the my secret Republican laboratory "Common Sense Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, a named Laboratories," believe 1 that is at National Florida Army 100,000 least that people could Guardsman notes he has been in six mobilized relief efforts due have been evacuated before to hurricanes.

All have to wait until the storm To the Editor: ask for help since her resources were becoming overwhelmed. She told President Bush she had all that was needed. It was Wednesday until she asked for 40,000 troops. She then excused her actions to act late by acting as a victim, "Nobody told me that I had to request that, I thought that I had requested everything they [Feds] had. We were living in a war zone by then." I am going to pause here in order for you to run to a tissue box. This poor lady failed to act fast, because...*sniffle*...she didn't know how to perform her duties ofgovernor. I bet the dead and stranded of New Orleans sympathize with her as well. Weil when someone dared to be cold and evil, like a Republican is, she had another stellar answer. Can anyone guess? Yes, you are correct, it was Bush's fault!!! That evil man sent troops over to a war her party hates and that isthe reason she couldn't' get enough National Guardsmen in New Orleans. It was not because she didn't know how to ask for other states to help in donating National Guardsmen until New Orleans looked like a sight out ofFallujah. President Bush could have enacted the Insurrection Act, which allows the president in times of unrest to command active-duty forces into the states to perform law enforcement duties. Bush did not do this for three main reasons. First, advisors said that Governor Blanco would have resisted surrendering control to Bush. Second, the political fallout would have been great if Bush kicked a woman governor from the south out of control ofthe situation pre-emptively. Can you imagine the vultures on that story? Everything that could have gone wrong would be magnified 100 times and there is also the issue of Bush thinking a woman is not able to handle a crisis and thenbeing accused of being sexist would have surfaced in the liberal media oftoday. I don't think a woman would have trouble handling a crisis, I think a liberal Democrat would. The third issue may be the most pertinent to us. Would you want a president from either party to be able to use the Insurrection Act whenever a "crisis" appears? What will constitute a major crisis being heroically battled by the leader of our country or a power hungry human from abusing the Act? The Insurrection Act was last invoked in 1992 for the L.A. riots, but at the request of the Californian Governor, Pete Wilson. Before that, it was invoked in the civil rights era, and then before that, the Civil War. I myself am glad Bush relented from using the Insurrection Act. I think as time passes, this incident will be significant, but not a crisis as the media portrays it. I hope that this liberal complaining and bickering will cease in order to help the people in need. Let's just hope the liberals can take part in rebuilding New Orleans and not want to pull out and have Hillary call for a withdrawal plan from the harsh marshlands of Southeastern Louisiana. James Hackett LHU Senior 'Devotional' doesn't honor diversity To the Editor: I am writing to complain about the inclusion of a column entitled "The Weekly Devotional." Why, at a state university that emphasizes honoring diversity must I and others be subjected to a religious article? I found it really offensive to read an article that addresses an issue of real concern, namely the disaster in New Orleans, but couches the issue in a Christian context. I am not a "brother in Christ" and I am far from the only nonChristian here. It seems to me that such a column has no place at a university like this. It basically EXCLUDES many students and faculty on campus. I hope you will decide to make your publication a secular one as it should be and truly honor diversity!! Dr. Peter Podol Professor of Spanish Kanye was out of line To the Editor: There's no doubt hurricane Katrina is one of the most horrific natural disasters this country has ever seen, but to turn it into a political and racist issue is absurd if you ask me. During a celebrity driven telethon rapper and producer Kayne West took advantage of live television to say that "President Bush doesn't care about black people." To say the president of the United States doesn't care for a race of people is inaccurate and immature. celebrities are liberal, Mr. West apparently being no exception. During the fall campaign it was a constant Hollywood crusade against the president. Kayne West's ignorance only strengthened my negative view of celebrities. Perhaps the spotlight went to their heads but to go on television to enforce their left slanted views is an abuse of power. What is the young black community supposed to think? Should they think it's right to use derogatory words like the ones that West's number one single "Gold-digger" chorus is fueled with?

This goes on for several weeks, MM is a very good thing. Taurus Courtesy of Fanscape.com One Hit Wonder? mmmmm ''MW Dan Blackmore Guest Writer The Click Five is a brand new pop group out of Boston Massachusetts. You may have heard their single "Just The Girl" which seems to be on a constant rotation on MTV2. It is about as catchy as a cold in winter and you will have the chorus stuck in your head for a few days. The band has already been featured in Entertainment Weekly with a 5-page article, which is very impressive for a brand new band. The members of the group look like they are straight out of the 60s, sporting Beatles haircuts and matching suits. They have been doing very well for thc time that they have been out, but they have not been making that much buzz through word of mouth. Not many people actually know who they arc, but can recognize the song they sing. This is one of the many signs of a one hit wonder. Though their single, "Just The Girl" does have a really nice melody, it is also very generic. It is the type of "one liner" songs where you can sing the main part of the chorus and then you just sort of hum the rest. The full record is not that Paul Stanley, the singer of Kiss actually helped The Click Five write the song "Angel to You, (Devil to Me)", and from the sounds of that, even a rock and roll legend couldn't help them out much. The band may be able to push out a couple more hits and milk the album for another year, but. in my opinion, they are not special enough to make an impact in music history. The Click Five is your typical pop rock band that throws a hit out of the blue then quickly fades away. If you enjoyed Fountains of Wayne and Milli Vanilli than much to talk about either. It sounds like they wrote one big this band is for you. If you did song then just cut it into little not then f suggest you simply pieces to fill up the time they enjoy the single while it still has needed to release their one good some life on TV.

"At first it was really annoying, but then it was funny, and eventually everyone around him joined in because it seemed that yelling and shouting was the thing to do at a pep rally." The jubilant atmosphere surrounding the event became magnified when the fireworks took center stage.

The masked air bagpiper who asked to only be identified by his stage name, "Theodore Ruxpin", took home the $300 cash prize as well as the rights to a float in Friday's homecoming parade. Throughout the show, MC's Dan Woznisky and Jason Barry energized the crowd by throwing homecoming t-shirts and keeping the fifty plus fans in the action. Woznisky and Barry also performed an electrifying rendition of "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by the Darkness. The two MC's somehow managed to keep an amazingly high level of intensity and comedy through the entire song. Their performance earned them third place honors from thc panel of three judges. The first act ofthe night, and runner-up, was the 2005 Homecoming Court. The court put on a stunning rendition of "Walk this way", by RUN DMC/Aerosmith. The air version ofthe video came complete with a breakaway wall and even the famous two-step. The crowd seemed to really enjoy the performance and it was a great way to start the show. When the night's big winner. Theodore Ruxpin, took the stage and was met by laughter and cheers even before he began. The one-man bagpiper, flutist, and singer had the crowd chuckling from start to finish. Ruxpin, who donned a kilt and Scottish mask, played a bagpipe and flute medley that ended with the introduction to Celine Deon's "My Heart Will Go On." The crowd clearly enjoyed the medley as did the judging panel that awarded Ruxpin the $300 cash prize. He was a gracious winner but removed his mask only after the crowd disWhen asked how he felt about his victory in the Battle of the Air Bands, Theodore Ruxpin simply replied with a smile, "It feels righteous." The three winners did not attain this recognition without a fight. The renditions of "Feed My Frankenstein" and "Pour Some Sugar On Me" also impressed the crowd and the judges. The performances were thrilling and the crowd enjoyed every bit of it. Congratulations to all involved, the Battle ofthe Air Bands was a big success. Student Happily Lives in World of Fantasy Matthew McKeague News Editor LHU freshman Bryan Gentzyel wakes up every morning before most college students are even thinking about hitting the snooze button as he prepares for a day full of casting magic spells, fighting goblinsand other foul creatures, bartering with merchants, visiting blacksmiths, and speaking in old English. His passion in life is to surround himself with everything related to medieval fantasy, and he starts his days at 6:30 a.m. by reading pages of books full of dragons, dwarf warriors, and damsels-in-distress, alone on a bench between Stevenson Library and Robinson. Seemingly pulled from the very times of ole he imagines himself in, the towering Bryan, at nearly seven feet with flowing hair dangling to his back, appears as a gentle giant. His unexpressive face looks as if it was chiseled like as a statue when he stares into the pages of a recently-started 800-page book. "If no one is around and I have no homework, then I'm reading." Bryan said, "Fantasy can take me out of this sometimes awful world and let me imagine an ideal world filled with adventure and fun times." Long-time friend Benjamin Fanning cannot understand how Bryan reads so much and gets deeply involved into his books, but said he likes him anyway. Ben said that it's hard to catch Bryan at a time he's not reading. "Bryan often talks about fantasy books he has read and he is always reading a different one, it seems, each time I see him," Ben said. Bryan's craving for this medieval fantasy world is done not only through his readings of "The Sword ofTruth" and 'The Lord of the Rings," but also from fantasy movies, playing medieval role-playing video games, drawing art of mythical creatures, physically making clothing ofthe era, and going to nearby Renaissance fairs where he can meet others like himself. "1 like everything associated with fantasy. I like the swords, the dragons, and the castles because fantasy allows my imagination to be set free," he said. The now 18-year-old Bryan has lived in Lock Haven his whole life and first delved into the vast fantasy universe at around 4 years old when his mother introduced him to a Nintendo Entertainment System video game called Dragon Warrior. "I was an only child so I would sit there, watch, and be drawn into it because there were scary monsters in the game and I could kill them," said Bryan, adding, "It was the first game that I ever saw with swords and fantasy stuffwhere the monsters died." He spent hours on that game collecting weapons, powering up his characters, and trying to discover the enemies' weaknesses, but he never considered it an obsession until years later. "Another large step into this obsession was when my fourth grade teacher had a medieval unit in her class where she took us to the Renaissance fair and taught us all kinds of random facts about the time," Bryan said. After learning tidbits of information about medieval .. Matthew McKeague/Eagle Eye Fantasy enthusiast, Brian Gentzyel, takes a break from his usual activity of reading on campus. times, he started reaching out to other friends to see if they shared the same interests. To his luck they did, and a group of four or five ofhis friends would get together on a weekly basis to play Dungeons and Dragons, a cult classic role-playing game of the imagination. "Almost every nerd, geek, or social misfit has played Dungeons and Dragons. It's a great activity to have fun with that's a combination between a board game and a story," Bryan said, and that he and his friends spent Friday nights enjoying the jokes and friendly banter 1 involved with the fantasy tales. When he and his friends cannot get together, Bryan has another option to escape reality through the Internet playing an online multiplayer video game Runescape. "It's a free online game the that relieves boredom world in the game is rather large with lots of things to do and I'll basically spend hours just mining for metal, melting it down, and then making it into an armor to sell and make money," he said, adding that playing the game is such a waste oftime, yet for some reason its fantasy ... 1 world is fun. The best fantasy world to Bryan is that of the Renaissance fair where he can actually see what an actual town would look like from medieval days. The little town with weathered roads scarred with the marks ofbuggies, carriages and horses, roofs made ofrecentlydetached twigs and crispy-dry straw, and handmade intricacies in all the craftwork from the carpenters who added their own personal touches seems like it's thriving with livestock, jousting duels, and townsfolk. Bryan said he liked the friendly atmosphere where anybody is welcome, and how it is a gathering for weirdand odd people with similar interests that dress up to attend the fair. "So the only odd people there are the people who don't dress up," he said, adding that he and his friends have been to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire near Lancaster over six times. While Bryan doesn't go in full garb, he does try to look like he comes from that era not only at the fair, but throughout every aspect ofhis life. \ B7
