Only one question remains. How good is the food? Danielle Eger, a sophomore at Lock Haven University, had the "Fat Ranch," which consists of chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, French fries, and of course, ranch dressing. 'It was delicious. It costs nine dollars, but it's really big. On a scale from one to ten, I give it a hundred!" Eger said. "They should probably get one in Lock Haven." the "Obviously names make draw people in," said junior Arianna Bonefont. "I had a Fat Bitch, and it's just funny to be able to say you had one." Bonefont also stated she would rate the Fat Bitch Sandwich a 9 on a scale from one to ten. LHU sophomore Nicolette Carothers strayed from the fat sandwich path, and got a chicken salad. "The salad was real tiny, and all it was lettuce with chicken on top. It was like $8 for a crappy, little, chicken salad. I could have made one better than that," she said. Carothers then added, "Scale from one to ten, I'd give it a three." If you are ever in the State College area, "Are U Hungry" is located on 111 Sowers Street, as well as 222 West Beaver Avenue.

Ask almost any college student what they think of buying textbooks, and you will surely be met with a groan and an eye-roll. It is no secret that one of the more stressful parts of the beginning of the semester is buying the load of textbooks that professors require. While textbooks are an extremely important instructional tool, it is such a hardship for students to have to pay so much for them. That is why many colleges have adopted a textbook rental program. Instead of having students pay full price for their books, they have the option of buying the books, new or used, and then returning them to the bookstore for a portion of their money back. This takes some of the sting off ofthe price that college students have to pay for books. According to the National Association of College Stores, the average price of a college textbook is $57. Now, this may not seem like much at first. But say you need a textbook for each of classes. your five Multiply 57 by 5 and it comes out to $285. And this is just the average price there are many -- more expensive books out there. Textbook costs can come out to be over $400. Put that on top of tuition and room/board, and college students truly have a lot on their hands. By instituting a textbook buyback program or a book rental program, students can save a little bit of the money they will need to spend on other aspects of college life. Across the country, many schools have instituted some sort of rental program for textbooks. Many websites offer less expensive textbooks or deals on books. The bookstore at LHU offers a textbook buyback program at the end of semester. every Students can bring their used books to the bookstore and get a portion of their money back. Senior Kate Bobbie thinks that the program is a good idea. "It's convenient to get rid of the books I know I'll never use again, and a lot easier than selling them online. That's just too much work for me." Many students that it is agree extremely convenient. However, there are some negative aspects to a textbook buyback program. Sophomore Kathryn Shebeck said that she feels that students often get "ripped off because they do not get a lot of money back for the books. Sometimes, though, students often feel that any little bit back helps. Sophomore Andrew Brake also gave his input about the textbook buyback program., "It helps to keep the brunt of the cost for books off of the students. Whereas the textbook publishing monopoly keeps increasing the costs of without production considering the economic situations the students come from. $600 or more for new textbooks every semester is ridiculous," he said. Brake also added, "If the SCC's buyback program can save a student anywhere from $20 to $100, that's money that can go to other essential things like school supplies." Overall, the buyback program has been mostly beneficial to students. By using this program, students can gain back a little bit of the money that they spent on their textbooks. Many students do take advantage of the program, as evidenced by the packed bookstore at the end of each semester shows. Consider selling books back to the book store at the end of the semes- ter. In many students' opinions, it is much easier than having to worry about selling them online, and you do not have to go very far to do it. With more and more colleges taking advantage of programs like these, students' lives are being made easiser.

For the next three issues, The Eagle Eye will be highlighting Relay and answering the following three questions: "What is it?"

At the time, it was almost impossible for a black man to be considered a registered voter, because the people charge in would make sure black citizens did not pass the test even if they had to lie. If someone were chosen to be the lucky few that did pass, they normally lost their jobs as a result of it. "I never saw my mother so afraid. Everything we owned is our mortgaged farm, our farm house everything down to our furniture," said Lucas. Lucas's father was the only black salesmen in their town at the time.

Sharper had nine interceptions in the regular season, three of them being returned for touchdowns. The two big threats to the Saints defense, tight end Dallas Clark and wideout Reggie Wayne who said in an interview with USA Today this week "I feel the game plan we have is going to work to my advantage."

New Orleans would most likely have a better chance of stopping the tight end setting up in a 3-3-5 or 3-2-6 Katrina.
