Roskin challenged the audience with a bet of 20 dollars that Iraq wouldnever be a democracy. No one took him up on the offer, not even Houser, the Republican representative on thc panel. "We have lost incredible amounts of world support," said Roskin. "We went one war too far." Houser insists that what thc U.S. needs is a leader who will "stick his course." "We need to support Israel. We shouldn't back down from that support of Israel. We can't let other countries dictate to us about our military strength," said Houser.

Many college students are tired of hearing about the 2004 presidential election and listening to debates. "It's all my roommate ever talks about," said one female Lock Haven University student.

With all thc rules, regulations, contracts and legalities involved in the preparation and execution ofthe debates, one has to wonder how much water they actually hold. In fact, it appears that many Americans focused more on the personalities of the candidates rather than the issues at hand. Jason Fitzgerald, senior political science major, says that he already had his mind made up to vote for Bush before the debates. Fitzgerald admits he was disappointed with Bush's performance in the first debate, but says he definitely did better Greek News Sororities learn how to protect against rape usual attacks that democrats throw out when they are on a sinking ship, 'Republicans are for the rich' or 'They are for big business and oil.'" "Kerry said numerous times that he had a plan, but never went any further on explaining what those plans are," said Hackney. Christian Dwyer, vice-president of the LHU College Republicans, agreed that Kerry needs to go into detail about his "plan." "He hasn't elaborated on his plan. I only hear him say go to JohnKerry.com," said Dwyer. He said that a presidential candidate should tell the American people about his plan right at the moment, not send them to a website to read about it. Hughes predicts that if Kerry is president the country's deficit will decrease, there will be better health care coverage and people will be able to work for a livable wage not $5.15 an hour. Hughes encourages students to study each candidate's platform. Hackney agrees that students should be presented with Hughes.

Women favor Bush slightly less and the majority of non-whites favor Kerry more than Bush. Treasurer and Responsible Officer of the Young Men's Democratic Club in Williamsport, Sandy Hughes, said two key values of a Democrat are assisting the community and helping to better the life of the working class. "We cannot afford Bush for four more years," said Hughes. "I have union people here that haven't had jobs for two years because there are no jobs. Things need to change." She said that many young people are Republican because they have the perception that they need to be. Hughes said that most of them will change their minds when they graduate from college and join the work force and see that Democratic policies are for supporting the working class. "The oil companies are making the money, not the working class people," said - Debates and personality determine vote in the second and third. "As far as the 'style side' goes, I think Kerry won. But on the 'substantive' side, Bush won," said Fitzgerald. "I was even more impressed with Cheney's performance during the Vice Presidential debate," said Fitzgerald. He adds that Edwards also handled himself well, but it was clear to him that Cheney had won. Sara Widdop, senior psychology major, feels much differently. Widdop, who registered to vote just three months ago. plans on voting for Kerry. "I felt like I was a bad citizen for not being registered to vote. So one day at work, a co-worker handed me a registration form and I did it," said Widdop. "I am voting for Kerry because Bush makes me angry because of the war." While Widdop did not watch the debates, she feels confident in her decision to put her vote of confidence in Kerry.

A4 October 20, 2004 lhueagleye.com Shortage of flu vaccine limits amount of shots available Steph LaSota Staff Reporter In accordance with guidelines issued by thc Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Susquehanna Health System (SHS) has modified its plan for distributing the influenza vaccine to area healthcare workers and community members, as a result of the national vaccine shortage, according to a press release issued Wednesday, October 13 by SHS. The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency in the United Kingdom has Chiron suspended Corporation's license to manufacture Fluvirin, the influenza vaccine that the United States normally receives from the Subsequently, this causes a reduction in half thc expected supply of flu shots that will be available in the United States for the 2004-2005 influenza season. The new plan ensures that those individuals at highest risk are first to be offered the vaccine. "Wc have received 100 percent of our requested vaccine," says George A. Manchester, M.D., Executive Vice President of Medical Affairs/CMO at SHS. "Thc vaccine will be initially offered to SHS employees who provide direct patient care and to volunteers who work in those patient care areas. The Health System will be working with area physicians to provide vaccine for their high-risk patients. Concerned individuals should contact their physician to see if they meet thc high-risk criteria and to inquire about receiving the vaccine." According to CDC guidelines people at high risk for influenza include all children six to 23 months old, adults aged 65 years and older, persons aged two to 64 years with underlying chronic medical conditions, all women who will be pregnant during the influenza season, residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities, children aged six months to 18 years on chronic aspirin therapy, health care workers involved in direct patient care and out-of-home caregivers and household contacts of children aged below six months. People in priority groups whose regular health-care provider does not have thc vaccine available are encouraged to search locally for the vaccine. Intranasally administered, live, attenuated influenza vaccine, if available, should be encouraged for healthy people between thc ages of five and 49 and are not pregnant, including health-care workers (except those who care for severely immunocompromised patients in special care units) and persons caring for children aged below six months. Certain children aged below nine years require two doses of the vaccine if they have not been previously vaccinated. All children at high risk for complications from influenza, including those aged 23 months to six, who presently need a vaccination, should be vaccinated with a first or second dose, depending on vaccination status. However, doses should not be held in reserve to ensure that two doses will be available. Instead, available vaccine should be used to vaccinate people in priority groups on a firstcome, first-serve basis. People who are not included one of thc priority groups in should be informed about thc urgent vaccine supply situation and asked to forgo or defer vaccination. Certain people should not receive thc influenza vaccine before talking with their doctor. These people are those with severe allergy to hen's eggs and persons who previously had onset of Guillain-Barre syndrome during the six weeks after receiving the influenza vaccine. Dr. Manchester said that SHS has a concern for the regional community and they will continue to work with area healthcare providers to prioritize distribution of the available vaccine. The following SHS sponsored public clinics have been cancelled: Hub's Health Care. October 10; Health Specialties Clinic. Muncy Valley Hospital. October 25-29 and November 15; Dr. Parker, Dr. Turner, Dr. Geise and Dr. Timko's Office, November 10; Ben Franklin Pharmacy. November 11; The Health Services Building. November 5, 15 and 30 and Christian Life Center. November 26. Influenza, commonly called "thc flu," is caused by the influenza virus, which infects the respiratory tract. Unlike other viral respiratory infections, like thc common cold, the flu causes severe illness and life-threatening complications in many people. Symptoms of the flu include fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose and muscle aches. Children can have additional gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, but these symptoms are uncommon in adults. The main way that influenza viruses are spread is from person to person in respiratory droplets of coughs and sneezes.

You can still protect yourself from thc flu even if you are not included in a priority group for the flu season this year, or if no vaccines arc available. The CDC suggests avoiding close contact with people who are sick and keeping your distance from others when you arc sick to avoid the spreading of germs. If possible, stay home from work, school and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. Covering your mouth and nose with a tissue or your hand when you sneeze or cough and washing your hands will help prevent the spreading of germs. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth because it is an easy way for germs to be spread.

Freshman fights back in response to last week's letter Dear Editor. After reading the letter to the editor from last week I felt it was my duty to respond. I was appalled by thc childish manner a senior used to accuse freshmen of being immature. I felt personally offended being a freshman myself. Everyone has to be a freshman at one point or another. Let me remind those who think that they somehow never were a freshman, and that it is not the title that makes them immature. Being a freshman myself I have attended plenty of speakers. I am not the type to walk out of a meeting unless I ultimately have to. I question the writer of the last article on his views Did you know that the people talking during the speeches were definitely freshmen? Did you know thc people walking out were freshmen? Did you ask all three of the people with cell phones ringing if they were freshmen? For a journalism major your article was not based on facts at all. Did the people have "freshmen" written on them? I was in a meeting the other day where a person's phone rang, and they were in fact not a freshman. Let's be in college and stop stereotyping the freshmen just because you're a senior. Freshmen are people and they shouldn't be judged strictly on that title. I Lindsay Johnson Co-editor in Chief What does thc color pink mean to you? know a lot of intelligent and again.

When Dick Cheney was asked that question when he was the CEO of Halliburton, the answer was Iraq. Despite UN Sanctions put in place in 1990, which forbade Halliburton (and everyone else) from trading with Iraq, Halliburton managed to do S23.8 million of business contracts with the country. These deals included oil-industry equipment and services. They went through loopholes, using subsidiaries from other countries, Dresser Rand and Ingersoll-Dresser Pump. They provided Iraq with parts to repair their oil fields. When totaled, the value of these contracts for parts and equipment far exceeded the amount ofbusiness done with Iraq by all other American companies combined. So, where's the money? Maybe it's not just in Iraq. Iran is one ofthe countries listed in Bush's "axis of evil," countries that allegedly support terrorism. It is illegal for US companies to So, do business in Iran. Halliburton went and set up a subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, Halliburton Products and Services. "60 Minutes" did a report on this company and found out that it is just a forwarding address to Houston, Texas. However, the little forwarding-address-that-could managed to do $80,000,000 worth ofbusiness with Iran, accounting for 1% of the Halliburton's total $16.3 billion worth of revenue in 2003. That's pretty impressive for a company without a building or employees. However, in 2003, Cheney admit that she got off pretty lucky, in the end. After all the treatments were over, she bounced back almost 100 percent, and now she's her old self was Vice President ofthe United States, and had nothing to do with Halliburton at that time, right? Maybe. When Cheney retired from Halliburton to pursue the Vice-Presidency in 2000, he got a hefty retirement package: a $20 million one. Since becoming the Vice President. Halliburton has continued to pay Cheney $150,000 a year in deferred compensation. He also has 433.000 company stock options, which will increase in value as the company's stock rises. That has led the Research Congressional Service, a nonpartisan group that prepares reports for Congress, to label Cheney's Halliburton ties a "potential conflict ofinterest." So what can a Vice President do to help out a multi-billion dollar company? When Cheney entered office, Halliburton was awarded the LOGCAP (Logistic Civil Augmentation Program) contract. This was created when Cheney was defense secretary under George H. Bush. It was awarded to Halliburton then for five years. Halliburton lost the contract after Cheney became CEO of the company. After he became VP, the length of the contract was doubled and awarded to Halliburton again. But that's not all. Even before the United States began to drop depleted uranium cluster bombs on Iraq, the Pentagon had secretly set up a deal with Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root. It was a twoyear, no bid contract that charged KBR with putting out oil well fires and to fix any other war damage to the country's oil industry. The contract is totaled at $7 billion. Cheney has denied any involvement in the Pentagon's decision. However, according to Time Magazine, an internal email from the Pentagon said that the deal was coordinated with the Vice President's office. Before the contract was awarded, Lewis "Scooter" Libby was present at a briefing ofthe White House staff about the contract. Libby is Cheney's top aide. Coincidence, perhaps. But Halliburton has repeatedly overcharged its customers (which would be the United States, which would be your tax dollars). Reports by several independent accounting firms have shown that Halliburton has committed a variety ofabuses during its contract with the US to support the troops in Iraq. Thc General Accounting Office found that Halliburton's ability to perform in Iraq is lacking. They cited "ineffective planning, inadequate cost control, insufficient training of contract management officials, and a pattern ofrecurring problems with controlling costs, meeting schedules, documenting purchases, and overseeing subcontractors" as problems that Halliburton is having fulfilling its contract in Iraq. In addition, GAO auditor, Stuart Bowan has written a report alleging that Halliburton cannot account for millions of dollars worth ofgovernment property in Iraq. So why does the United States continue to spend billions of taxpayer dollars a year on a company that is not fulfilling its contracts? Maybe it does pay to have friends in high places.

Junior Nikki Sweger was the offensive hero for the Haven, recording a hat trick. Melissa Stubblefield was the star in net as she picked up her 15th win of the season. Sweger started things off, making her way down the field, with no problem. She fired thc ball right into the cage within the first 10 minutes. Not shortly after, the Hawks came fighting back to even up the score. Kellie Kulina didn't want to let the Hawks get too comfortable with the tie, taking a rebound and tapping it in the goal. But wait that wasn't it. Sweger came along once again and deflected a shot in from Katie Stewartz raising the score to 3-1. Sweger and thc Eagles were on a roll and weren't ready to relax. For her third goal, Sweger took a pass from Courtney Hughes with nearly 30 seconds to go in the half raising the score to 4-1. Ending the victory for the Eagles was freshman Renee Kemmcrer, who took advantage and scored on a penalty stroke, making the final score 5-1. Melissa Stubblefield, along with the defense also helped lead the team to another victory and the conference title. consistent, "The most strongest part of our team is our back four (defense) and Melissa." said Head Coach Pat Rudy. "The defense has saved us in so many games this year. Melissa, especially, in the net has made some great saves that no one else in the conference nave made." On Friday the Haven hosted their biggest challenge of the season in Rider University. Both teams entered the contest with undefeated conference marks. Courtney Hughes came out shining, scoring both Haven goals in thc game. Although Rider got on the board first, it gave the Eagles time to get hyped up and ready to fire back. Hughes and Kulina teamed up and capitalized for the Eagles scoring twice and taking another win for the Eagles. Melissa Stubblefield made five saves for the Haven along with the defense, helping to lead thc team to victory.

The lights go out, as the Woodland High School football players gather in the tunnel before they take thc field.

That is Woodland Hills Wolverine pride, and there is plenty of it on the Bald Eagles football team which includes four Woodland Hill graduates. The Wolverines are a perennial high school football powerhouse in Western Pennsylvania. They have captured the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League Quad-A Championship in 1996, 1999, 2001, and 2002. Coach George Novak has been thc only coach at Woodland Hills, and each year he sends more and more players on to play at the college The Wolverines currently playing at LHU are senior linebacker Charles Cannon, sophomore defensive back Mike Nesby, sophomore wide receiver Rafael Smith, and senior running back Maurice Walker. It is very unique to find four high school teammates on the same collegiate team; so what is it that brings them to Lock Haven and allows them to standout at the college level? It all centers on Wolverine Pride. When you play at Woodland Hills, you have to know how to play good football. It's that simple because they play some of the best high school teams anywhere.

I can only imagine how they would have pounded the PSAC if they were still there. Good luck in the last two games, and good luck to the seniors that will leave the team in upcoming weeks. Thegrcatcast football player of all-time has been traded. Jerry Rice will now be a member of the Seattle Seahawks. A lot of people arc saying that he just retire, but he is the best ever. If he can still play then people just let him be. Ricky Williams is set to meet with NFL officials to sec if he may be reinstated the league to play for thc Miami Dolphins. All his former teammates want an apology. When Williams left he was to be suspended by thc league violation of substance abuse after failing his third drug test. A lot was at the fact that he quit and said he didn't need football. I was angry at for only one reason, he let his teammates down. He could have left in the and given them time to try and bring in another running back to his shoes. Other people were mad because they said how could you just My thoughts were that nobody gets mad at the owners when they do honor a contract and they cut a player. It was the same thing in this case just cut his team! Who is the best QB in the NFL? In my mind four guys are separating themfor a lot of different reasons. Manning has so many weapons it is like your poison. If you cover one guy another one will beat you. And he all of the plays; it is like he is playing Madden out there. He can "Hot anything he wants. Tom Brady, I hate to say it, but he just wins games, a good QB is not only about the high numbers you can put up, it is also how far you can carry your team. McNabb has done it by himssclf in years but now he has Terrell Owens. They look like they have played for years. But, the guy I think is thc best RIGHT NOW is Dante because he is lighting everybody up. The knock people have on is that he has Randy Moss, but so what. Everybody knows Moss goes deep double and triple coverage doesn's stop Culpepper from throwing to him The Boy is kill in 'em. If you agree or disagree with me, then holla _ _ ——. — jsNRHMBHHIH The field hockey team has earned more than respect this season. They have earned thc 2004 regular season title in the Northeastern Conference. The team has dominated league play and broke a conference record tie with Rider by defeating them 2-1 on Friday. Thc Lock Haven field hockey team boasts a 7-0 league mark and an overall record of 17-1 in their first season of Division I play. It is an injustice to Lock Haven University and the field hockey team that they can't participate in postseason play. I strongly believe they could have gone all the way. To seniors Melissa Stubblefield, Katie Stewart/., Erin Weibley, and Kellie Kulina, you girls paved the way to success on thc Division I level for future hockey team members and you went out on top. Congrats to Coach Pat Rudy and her team. ...Shame, shame, shame to UAB assistant coach Tom Donahoc. Thc Defensive Line coach was charged with possession of marijuana and has pleaded innocent. The NCAA may need to evaluate and possibly test coaches for drug use as well as the athletes. Now athletic administrators will have to educate not only student athletes but also coaches on the use of marijuana. It is a shame that someone in this role model, coaching position has made a decision that will not only affect his institution and team, but his reputation for the rest of his life. Donahoc resigned from his coaching post Tuesday still maintaining his innocence. ...Thanks to the people who came out to support thc football team in hard fought overtime victory Saturday at Jack Stadium. The atmosphere was the best it has been in a long time. The student body definitely responded to the challenge laid to them by Sports Editor Kevin Carver. It was like there was a 12th man on the field because it was very loud at times especially being out there on defense as I was. Thanks for the support and school spirit and let's keep it up during all athletic events held here at Lock Haven University. ...It will be a "quiet" Saturday in college football with only two games of ranked teams. #11 Michigan travels to Indiana to take on #12 Purdue.

Though I can't profess to Wttttkli,. say what high school football is like in Texas, having been to more high school football games in Pennsylvania than I can remember, it is very certain that the films' makers captured the entire high school football experience to a tee, from the behind the scenes strategy machinations to the cheerleaders, to the bands. "' ■ I J Xmm if lifc J H'Tlll^^B - Bands battle it out for cash and fame Tim Pratt Staff Reporter In the movie "Back to the Future," Marty McFly and his band, The Pinheads, took the stage in a local gymnasium as part of a Battle of the Bands competition. If they had won, they would have had the dubious honor of playing at the school dance. This was 1985 and if you didn't have big hair and a jean jacket, you had no chance of making it to the big-show, four judges sat in the middle of the gymnasium floor, took notes and tried to determine if The Pinheads had the right stuff. They were ultimately told that they were "too darn loud." Shawn Lacey and the Urban Connection (whose members include Lacey on guitar and lead vocals. Joe Gruber on drums, and Shawn Carr on bass) won Lock Haven's own Battle of the Bands Wednesday, Oct. 13, on Russell lawn as part of the week-long homecoming celebration. The 10-member homecoming court served as the judging panel ofthe two-hour long festival that sent sound waves ricocheting offthe buildings around campus. The three competing bands. Dead liyes Open, The Buzz, and Shawn l.aeey and the Urban Connection, took the stage in front ofRussell Hall for the chance to win the projected $225 first prize. Second place was scheduled to receive $ 110 and third place would pick up $75. The judging panel was grading on overall performance, energy, crowd response, sound quality and originality, among other things. "I like there to be a fresh sound. If they sound like somebody else, I can go buy their CD," said panelist and eventual I lomecoming King Eddie Dove. Dead Kyes Open opened the show and was greeted by a lukewarm response from the audience of their fellow students, as their metal-style didn't seem to sit too well with anyone other than the few who laughingly started their own mosh pit. They played a host of original songs before closing out their set by covering "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osboume. The next band to take the stage was the runner-up. The Buzz, which featured Andy Yearick, Shawn Lacey, Chris Miller and Dave Cantwell on drums. Lead singer Yearick loosened up the crowd with his Scottish accent and then broke into "Cold Hard Bitch" by Jet. Among other songs on their set list, they covered Radiohead and Weezer by playing "Creep" and "Say It Aint So," respectively. Between artists, acoustic performers took the stage and HAC" representatives threw tree t-shirls into the crowd. So when Shawn Lacey and the Urban Connection finally took the stage, the audience was all riled up. Lacey urged the crowd closer to the stage and the trio played a few originals before breaking into covers of Oasis' "Wonderwall," Tom Petty's Girl," "American Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama," and Pearl Jam's "Better Man." As the 2004 edition of the Battle of the Bands concluded and people looked forward to next year's battle, bright orange leaves lined the sidewalks and we were once again reminded of the great Marty McFly. "Why don't you make like a tree and leave?" could be heard whispering through the wind and the irony was lost on us all.

Lock Haven nightlife turned "Trauma"tic on Friday night Daniclla De Luca Opinion Editor As I stepped under the black light, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirrors surrounding the room. Everything had an awesome glow to it; even my eyes seemed to sparkle as the beat driven music pushed itself into every corner ofthe club. Trauma, an alternative dance club above The Scoop downtown gave those in attendance a unique industrial-techno musical experience on Friday night. This was the third time that Trauma was brought to Lock Haven since last spring semester. It is a similar production to {Catharsis}which is held at State College, also once a month. The next {Catharsis}will be held on the Friday night before Halloween, Oct. 29, in the Tall Shiva Hookah Lounge on 224 West College Ave. "Trauma gave me a chance to listen to music that I wouldn't listen to normally," said junior Jessica Stokes who attended Trauma for her first time on Friday. "The more that 1 listened to the music, the more comfortable I felt, and everyone there was very interesting to observe." DJs included Cogen, darkFIN, hexon, Modus, and |/|/, each presenting a unique style of dark alternative and industrial music for the evening. Some of the music regularly played at Trauma and {Ca thar sis}include are but not limited to groups like Suicide Commando, The Cure, VNV Nation, Skinny Puppy, :Wumpscut:, and Stabbing Westward. DJs strive to keep the music danceable, and requests are taken. The main sponsor of these events is DesusProject, a group founded in 2001 in central Pennsylvania who work toward expanding musical tastes in the area. Thirty-four people attended Trauma on Friday, adding four more to the crowd turnout from the Trauma hosted last month. Only 20 of the students attended Lock Haven University. The rest were from State College or other surrounding areas. Upon entering, 1 was pulled out onto the dance floor by a few friends, and right away I noticed thata lot more people had shown up, and it was a big difference from when I went last semester. There were more people, but still not nearly enough according to one of the DJs, Brendon Costello (Modus). "I often hear my friends complain that there is nothing to do in Lock Haven," he said. "They view possibilities for entertainment virtually futile and decide to go home for the weekend. It's that simple Darwinian theory: 'Use it or lose it,1 and if people don't attend Trauma it's not going to last.". Jonathan Sywulak, a senior, who is a regular attendee of DesusProject events said, "I attend because stomping wildly is an acceptable dance there, and that the only dancing I'm good I like it because that kind of experience can rarely be found in Lock Haven." People should take advantage of events like Trauma, because it is a new experience every time, and something to do on a Friday night. No one should complain about having a boring weekend as long as they seize the opporat. tunity to take part in these activ ities. "They need to come out interact, meet new people an( dance. They never know wha they'll discover," Costello said.
