LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY STl DENT NEWSPAPER Volume 62 Issue 6 Wednesday, October 19, 2005 Preparations for alumni conference center begin Cynthia Martinez News Editor Construction of the Alumni Conference Center will begin in spring 2006, but temporary parking is now being built replacing the spots that will be taken by center's placement. By positioning the conference center on the corner of Susquehanna and Water Street, where the staffand faculty parking lot is now, parking spots will be replaced where the current intramural fields arc located. "Although we are getting rid of about 70 parking spots by building the center there," said Jerry Updegraff vice president of University Advancement. "We will also be putting about 170 spots once we take out the Boiler Plant that is now next to the lot." With additional parking spaces being built, this construction will also give room for growth due to the long term plan of moving the nearby tennis courts. This building will not just be a place "that wc can call home" as alumni of Lock Haven University, but it is also where prospective students will get their first view of what LHU has to offer. The admissions offices that are now located in the Akeley Building will be moved to the conference center. This will allow prospective students to meet in a central area and view the achievements that have come from LHU graduates. "The plans are to build a library with publications from LHU professors and alumni, as well as other memorabilia that no one sees unless they come intoAkeley," said UpdegrarT. This conference center will also be available to the public. It is possible that the conference rooms will be able to be reserved by the community for meetings, weddings, and receptions. Even though the building may be open to the Lock Haven community, Updegraff stated that alumni and current student's needs will come first for reservations ofthe facility. "The LHU Foundation will be the ones paying for this center," said Updegraff. Money from tax payers will not be used for the construction of the building. Instead, the $6.7 million cost ofthis project has come from donations from alumni, friends, and local businesses. "An alumna from the class of '66 has donated the large patio that will be used for social gatherings," said Updegraff. "And there is even talk about an even bigger gift for the Arts and Science department."

The world has reached a crossroads where new philosophies are being born to deal with mounting global concerns. But what philosophy will properly solve the increasingly complicated world dilemmas? Dr. Rita Manning calls for a moral perspective that will deal with the many facets of these problems. She has called for an "ethic of care." Dr. Manning is a philosopher who teaches at San Jose State University and specializes in political and social philosophy, including the philosophy of music and feminism. Her book publications include "Social Justice in a Diverse Society" and "Speaking from the Heart: A Feminist Perspective on Ethics" and her articles have appeared in a myriad of magazines and journals including the Journal ofBusiness Ethics and Informal Logic. On Oct. 12 Manning spoke in the Hall of Flags to a small attentive audience about what she believed the best philosophical solution to today's problems would be. "Philosophy is looking for the next question, not create more confusion but to clarify confusion," said Manning. The confusion that the world faces today is abundant and ranges from terrorism to environmental concerns. "What we need to frame a solution to those pressing issues is a new language," said Manning. An "ethic of care" is a recent moral perspective born only 20 years ago. While there arc a few interpretations to this new philosophical viewpoint. Manning offered what she thought was the "most plausible one." Manning spoke of the word care and its meaning, calling care a meta-virtue. She went on to say that care is capable of breeding many other important virtues such as bravery, honesty and prudence. "All ofthese can be justified under the banner of care," said Manning. But in addition to being able to appropriately feel "care" and in order to participate in an "ethic of care". Manning said ft Men's S ° CCer defeats L 1 W . ESU4-1 1?CTT Se e Bl that one must be able to appropriately respond and act in the name of care. An "ethic of care" would what require exercising Manning called "sympathetic understanding." This is where one would have to be attentive of another's problems and be willing to listen to the context of the conflict before making a judgment. This method would ensure that a solution was made with the best interests of everyone in mind and thus solve the conflict without creating any new ones, as is often done. Manning admitted that there are problems with expanding an "ethic of care" in the global community, but nothing that cannot be resolved. Among the criticisms is that of exporting Western morals to people who do not desire such morals. Manning argues against this point by calling care a virtue of the world and not only one type of society. An "ethic of care" would not, according to Manning, assume anything as it is a oneon-one way of solving a conflict. Without judgments and assumptions an "ethic of care" g fi »*I JJ* A would face the problem without the normal blindness of other moral philosophies by seeing all parties as moral equals. Other criticisms range from gender stereotypes to arguments that such an obligation is overwhelming and impossible. Manning battles all of these with calls for reform in stereotypical thoughts and the need for cooperation. According to Manning, the limitations of such obligations are not as strong as what is assumed. In the end it is this philosophy that can triumph over some of the world's biggest problems without breeding new ones, Manning attests. "An ethics ofcare is a powerful way to craft solutions," said Manning. With the amount of volunteerism and concern of young people in colleges across the country. Manning's proposal for such a philosophy does not seem too unrealistic. However, in learning to understand other cultures and perspectives, a worldwide approach to care is necessary and will certainly not be a simple process, but it is one that Manning believes is imperative.

Before his confirmation, many Democrats were angered by Roberts' refusal to answer their questions in regards to where he stood on certain issues. These issues were often in relation to cases that will appear in front of the Supreme Court in the recent future. to Berard, According Roberts was acting with judicial ethics. In order to be impartial, a person is not supposed say how he or she is to vote in a case before it comes to the court. Conservatives were also anxious about how Roberts would vote in cases that came before the high court. "Conservatives want radical change, but that goes against the court's desire to show precedence." said Berard. Precedence means the new decisions are based on earlier outcomes of cases. It takes many years ofa case appearing in front of the Supreme Court for a radical change to result. Many fear that young people don't pay enough attention to politics.

By Kate Strickler Iowa State Daily (Iowa State U.) - AMES, Iowa The growing popularity of Facebook has raised some concern about the growing impact of technology on social interaction. According to the Web site. Facebook is "an online directory that connects people through social networks at schools." Michael Bugeja, author of "Interpersonal Divide: The Search for Community in a said Technological Age," Facebook encourages members to participate in simulated interaction rather than interpersonal interaction. "Facebook is not an online community but a mere simulation of the real thing," said Bugeja, director ofthe Greenlee School of Journalism and He said Facebook is replacing rather than supplementing interaction among college students. There are 19.495 ISU members on Facebook, said Chris Hughes, spokesperson for Facebook, who disagreed with Bugeja's assessment ofthe Web site's impact. "Facebook does not replace reaction, face-to-face but instead complements it. People log on and learn a great deal more information about their friends and peers through the site, which can then make faceto-face interaction all the more valuable," he said. One of Bugeja's concerns was members of the Facebook willingly divided themselves into marketing groups. Several Facebook groups very closely resemble mailing lists that marketers use to reach their target audience. For example, a Facebook group called "KickAss Conservatives" was similar to the mailing list called "RedHot Conservatives," he said. "Marketers used to put people into boxes. Now, they say 'Here's the box!' and everyone . jumps in for themselves," said Jay Newell, assistant professor in the Greenlee School The advertisements on Facebook also raised some con- NT DISCOU NT STUPEI I ■ I 'OR LARGE MEDIUM HI! III "Facebook could hurt publications like Ethos or the Daily, on advertising because Facebook is so much cheaper and far-reaching." Newell said. "People who don't have cats have to sit through litter commercials, people who don't have children have to sit through diaper commercials. This is an interesting vehicle to fine tune messages to show you the ones you need." Future generations will be affected by programs such as the Facebook. Bugeja and Newell agreed. "How do you teach a generation ofmulti-taskers?" he said. Newell considered effects on public figures. "You're putting all this information out about yourself in a time when you're still defining who you are," he said, adding that allowing public access to this type of information at any time can be dangerous. "What if George Bush had a Facebook profile when he was in college? That could be very damaging during election years," he said. Fixing the problem would be a difficult task, Bugeja said. "I'm not hopeful," he said. "Universities have invested considerable amounts ofmoney into technology to the point that we now have fewer tenured professors in the classroom." Technology's purpose is to keep people informed, but people are using them for 'ego-casting' purposes, Bugeja said. 'Egocasting' is using a device or program to further a person's ego and interests, it needs to be controlled. Both Bugeja and Newell have Facebook accounts, but neither are active. "I joined because I was curious, but I haven't done anything to my profile or looked at anyone else's. I don't think the students posted their information knowing that professors could read it, and it's none ofmy business," Newell said.

Prayer is obviously a touchy subject, and your opinion is your opinion, however, prayer is a very important technique and value to several millions ofpeople around the world. No matter what religion, when you truly believe in God, you believe that he is the creator of all and that he controls each and every individual life. The purpose of prayer is not necessarily to pray for something like 'passing a test' when you haven't studied. The purpose of prayer is to thank God for everything we are so fortunate to have (essentially because of Him.) Secondly, we pray for others because our prayers show God that we meditate to Him in the name of someone else so that He may help them in some way. We do this if the person is suffering through tough trials or tribulations, or even for example if we know a person who is choosing to turn his/her back to God because we know that each person has the choice to make their own decisions so all we can do is pray for him/her. Also, when we normally pray for ourselves, we pray for things like strength and guidance. 1 personally think that faith is one of the most difficult values to possess because you are putting your entire life in the hands of God and/or Jesus and living your life in the guidelines of God's love letter (the bible or for ex. if Muslim-the Qur'an.) When you pray, you release all of your troubles and worries because you give them to God. He takes the burdens off your shoulders so that you can have a clear mind and focus on the important things. You may not necessarily believe in prayer, but how can you be positive that it's not effective if you have never tried it OR if maybe you have tried it but your faith is not strong? For prayer to be effective, you of course have to believe in the One and Only God and for Christians, our savior Jesus Christ. Alex, if you think prayer is so ineffective, then why is there so much scientific evidence supporting prayer? Yes, something that cannot be proven, A Creator of everything, our God, can be supported by scientific evidence that prayer works. Many studies have been done on people who are sick in the hospital. There are many churches and groups of people praying for that individual patient, and they have seen amazing and miraculous results. The interesting thing is the patient has no idea that people are praying for him/her. I looked up a couple websites which give scientific evidence for prayer: http://www.godandscience.o rg/apologetics/prayer.html (Deem, Rich), as well as http://www.rcpsych .ac. uk/college/sig/spirit/publications/fenwick_%208_4_04.pdf. Even the National Institute of Health at John Hopkins University is studying the effects of prayer on the sick (http://awesomepower.net/praye rstudies.htm.) Also, this website was extremely interesting http://www.plim.org/PrayerDeb. htm. All of these websites are backed up by true scientific research, journals and articles. If prayer was not real and did not make a difference, why would so many reputable universities and medical organizations study the effects of prayer? Okay so I could potentially go on about this subject forever because I know from my own past experiences that prayer is real and it works. I have had many wonderful things happen in my life because of my faith and prayer in Jesus Christ. I just want to end with something we were discussing in CSF last Wednesday night. If you were going to invest millions of dollars into a company, would you not do a large amount of research on the company and look into how the company does its business and what not? Well, obviously, with an investment like that, you would. Well what about the question of where you might spend eternity? Isn't that something worth at least looking into? Laura L.

So 1 have a question for Ms. DeMatteo: is Eminem's "artistic creativity" okay to be exposed to the white community or the world in general? Natural disasters like this will always generate questions because not everyone will always be satisfied with the response that is given or received. So the question that should really be asked is should we blame Kanye for saying what he believes, or should we as a society of people blame ourselves for not using our first amendment rights for seeking and speaking the truth? Stephon James Junior Criminal Justice Trust me, Harold Miers will be a brilliant justice Garrison Keillor Tribune Media Services If your alderman introduced a resolution in the city council called the Salute To Our Boys In Uniform Resolution, which proclaimed that we support the troops in their mission to light a beacon of freedom in a dark world, etc.. and in small print in Section II, Division A, Paragraph 4, Line 122 was a provision giving the alderman's brother-in-law Walt the contract to haul garbage, the honorable gentleman would be denounced as a crook and a dodo. And yet this same dodge has worked beautifully for Republicans in Washington, who have clubbed their hapless opponents over the head with Old Glory and then set up shop and profited mightily, and more power to them. I am in favor of corruption so long as it makes people truly happy. And so long as somebody writes a good confessional memoir like John Dean's "Blind Ambition." At this point in time, 1 don't see Karl Rove or Tom DeLay writing a good mea culpa, and 1 doubt that Colin Powell or Donald Rumsfeld will either. And of course presidents never do, and here is one more proof that we are not now nor have we ever been a Christian nation. Confession is at the heart of the faith. (All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.) But under this administration, the faith has been revised, all the stuff about the poor has been tabled and the confession of sin omitted, and prayer is nowa promotional device in which you thank God for making you the terrific person you are. In the Christian view of the world, these folks rank lower than outright atheists, which is a terrifying aspect of the faith better never to have believed than to use sacred things for your grimy which self-aggrandizement might scare a Republican into writing a decent book. One can hope for this. Meanwhile, last week brought some good news, a report of President Bush having read a book during his long August vacation, a 546-page tome about the 1918 influenza epidemic, according to White House Scott spokesman McClellan. Whether the president read the entire book himself - - or read passages ofit highlighted by his staff, Mr. McClellan did not say. But it's good news for us writers (somewhat offsetting the disappointment of seeing the Nobel Prize go to the dismal and tedious Harold Pinter) to imagine that the president might now and then interrupt his ambitious exercise program to pick up a book, sit down and read it. Or a newspaper. Literacy is a good thing, as the president himself says every year during Literacy Week. A little more literacy might put him in touch with the intellectual standards that prevail today, so he could have anticipated the storm of opposition to the nomination of Harold Miers to the Supreme Court. (I have changed the nominee's gender to ward off accusations of sexism.) Harold's friends in the administration did him no favors when they came bounding to his defense, pointing to his lovely personality and his attention to correcting grammar and misspellings in staff memos. The ability to proofread is not in itself the best recommendation for a seat on the high court, nor is a pleasant disposition. And then the conservative columnist David Brooks savaged Harold simply by quoting the fluff and chaff he wrote while serving as president ofthe Texas state bar association, stuff like "More and more, the intractable problems in our society have one answer: broad-based intolerance of unacceptable conditions and a commitment by many to fix problems." Not to worry, Harold. Every member of the Senate Judiciary Committee has written worse than that. Take your seat at the witness table, smile in a determined way, and start your engines. When they ask about Roe v. Wade, lead them into the legal briar patch and run them around until they get tired. Say what you want to say and express your commitment to solve problems and change unacceptable conditions within the framework of your mission. Do this with utter confidence, no shadow of uncertainty flickering across your handsome features, and above all listen now do not ever confess to a single mistake, error of judgment or misstatement of fact. You ain't done nothing wrong, Harold. You is the man. - - OPINION " ■■' 1 "" 1 Cartoons thatmake you go "Hrmm .. - What we really mean when we lie Daniel la De Luca Editor In Chief Part of being a journalist is reporting the truth. Part of being a good friend is telling lies. One day over the weekend when I was eating lunch with a friend, she brought something to my attention. How many times every day do we tfell a little white lie for the sake of sparing someone's feelings? Think about it, really. vVhy do you tend to be more honest with your best friends? That outfit looks horrible on her...what was she thinking? Because you know that chances are they will forgive and forget then take you back after a simple spat. / can't believe he did that to his hair. However, when it's someone that you don't know or you aren't really acquainted with, the circumstances Change. / wish I could tell my do-worker that it's really annoying when they read my e-mails over my shoulder. Will they take it the wrong way? Will they not understand my sense of humor? How would I recover if they took the truth too literally? Step I: Insert foot into mouth. Step 2: Apologize sincerely and then change the topic...fast. When we are younger, we are constantly reminded to always tell the truth and never to lie. Lying is supposed to be bad and leads to cheating, sneaking around and other malicious activities. So, my main question is, why do we feel that it is okay to lie or only tell part of the truth, even if it's just a little bit? It could be because we're afraid that they will think that we are being too brutally honest and never speak to us again. Or, it could be something bigger than that. We could be lying only for the sake of lying in order to make ourselves feel better for our own good qualities, that we buy our clothes from only the trendy stores or the fact that we'd never get a bad haircut. We tend to think that white lies are excusable because everyone else does it. Maybe if people developed a little bit tougher exterior, then it wouldn't hurt as bad. But, that's just not how some Yo, that car is the bomb! people are. When something hurts, it really hurts no matter how much the person pretends like it doesn't bother them. As a college student, it's easier to lie more and more because chances are the people that you tend to talk to on a daily basis are classmates. You see them everyday so saying something hurtful would be a big mistake because you still need to deal with them for the majority of the school year. Rather than deal with hard feelings, we brush it aside and simply smile and say they look fabulous with their popped collar. You couldn t take two seconds to flatten it? Who are you kidding? Seriously. The person swivels back around in their chair as you secretly long for colder weather so the polo shirts can be put away. The sobering truth? What works or looks good for one person might not necessarily work for someone else. We all just deal with it in different ways. And no, your butt doesn't look fat in those jeans. Really. /JT h Uft^/ y=== WHOA! It's just an Ken Foster finally returns to New Orleans Ken Foster, a former resident of Woolrich and an LHU graduate, moved to New Orleans just days before HurricaneKatrina hit the Gulf Coast. Ken is an accomplished and celebrated writer, whose work been published in The New York Times Book Review, and the San Francisco Chronicle, among others. He has published a collection ofstories and his memoir about dogrescue. The Dogs Who found Me, be published this year. ' Ken's TUESDAY, OCTOBER 04, 2005 FEMA: "We don't make decisions...a computer does" I just got off the phone with another rude, possibly even irate FEMA rep, who told me that my property would have to be inspected before they awarded me any rental assistance. But, she said, they are behind in their inspections. When I asked where 1 should live in the meantime, she had no answer. When I told her that last week I was told it didn't need inspection because 1 was in the worst hit zip code, didn't have anything to say. When I told her that other people in rny neighborhood have already received money, she said, "Well, we don't make the decisions. I mean, no human is involved. It's a computer generated award." How does that work? "If you answer the Questions a certain way, it gives you the money" I said, "I guess I Answered a question wrong." No reply. So if everything is done by computer, why does this woman even have a job? THURSDAY, OCTOBER 06, 2005 FEMA speaks This morning I actually got a supervisor on the phone. Here's what he had to say that might be useful to others who haven't been lucky enough to get any answers: 1. You do not need to apply to SBA if all you want is rental assistance. The SBA info is used if you are asking for money to cover property losses. If you plan to claim any losses, you HAVE to apply with SBA first, and if you get turned down, then FEMA steps in. 2. If you want rental assistance, you need to fax in the Declaration and Release on the last page of the guide book "Help After a Disaster." Include a copy ofa lease or other proof of occupancy. I've been on the phone with these people for weeks and never was told either ofthese things. I was told, alternately, that they were waiting for an inspection, that they had waived the inspection, that I needed to apply to SBA, that I needed to drive 180 miles away, that it was automatic, that it was automated, that they needed no other information from me. blah blah blah... On the other hand, 1 also noticed that the form they used for my case expired on February 28. 2003. Has itreally been that long since Katrina hit? It certainly feels like it. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 07, 2005 FEMA continues to toy with me... and thousands of other more desperate people. Yesterday I talked to a supervisor and faxed in a bunch of forms knd various proofs ofresidence. The idea was to get a decision on rental assistance, which had been listed as pending. Now it isn't even listed as an option at all. MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2005 My return to New Orleans I'm packing up the dogs along with a surplus of dog food, water. a Coleman stove, propane, dry foods, shelf milk, a respirator, Vick's vapor rub (to cut the smell of rotten food), lots of bleach and Lysol...and we're heading home. This is what 1know: the house is still standing, and it didn't flood. But I have no idea about any other damage. Some neighbors down the street found that their carpets had been soaked from rain blowing under the door. The mold was sobad that they can't move back in yet. Others have found roof damage, water and mold, even though the " has also been featured on CNN. structure looks sound from the outside. There is electricity on my street, I've been told. And the water is supposedly safe, but I've been told by a number of people to not drink it. Ever. Other friends have told me that goingback makes you realize how skewed your sense of awful has become. "At first it doesn't seem nearly as bad as you thought it would be. Then you realize that it is worse." But...we're going home. For now anyway. I'll let you know what I find. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2005 First impressions on my return Reentry to New Orleans must be a little like the shock ofpassing through the atmosphere after visiting the moon. You want to get home, but you've forgotten how difficult and improbable your journey has already been. I drove in from Tallahassee, stocked up with all kinds of supplies: water, dog food, human foot! that doesn't require refrigeration, a Coleman stove, propane, clothes, a respirator, Vicks vapor rub (to cut the smell of spoiled food), garbage bags, bleach... The drive went smoothly until Oak Harbor, just before the long stretch of highway that goes over the lake. There I had to turn and drive through an expensive subdivision/development until I reached route 11 which took me over the water and past completely demolished homes. Large piles of sticks are what they are now. And at first I could figure out where they had come from. The newer places were intact, though with damaged roofs. Then I noticed the empty stilts sticking up from the water. Oh, that's where the houses were. Not and the lamb. Of course, the violins will be unplayable. But we aren't musicians anyway. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2005 Watching houses burn in the distance Last night was the postponed birthday party at Andy's place in the French Quarter. There were forty or fifty people there and tons of amazing food, including the lamb. Around ten o'clock everyone gathered at the window and watched an enormous plume of smoke grow in the distance. Then there were flames and an enormous explosion. Then the guessing at what it might be. After a while there seemed to be very little point in trying to decide what it was. and the party continued. This is the way things arc here. Slow motion. In the Quarter, places are begging for bartenders and cooks. All of the smaller places are opening up with limited menus, and they are packed with people. But when you walk outside the streets are empty. The larger restaurants, owned by people who could afford to open and lose some money in the process, remain stubbornly closed. Occasionally in the cafes the military stand patiently in line with their machine guns. And on the way home from the party, as we walked down the stairs, a woman paused on the landing and pointed through a window to the roof, where a dozen violins were laid out to dry. MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2005 ...and still it is good to be home. I just got out of a Mangny association meeting with Councilwoman Jackie Clarkson (aka the mother of actress Patricia Clarkson). The place was packed withresidents ofthe neighborhood, many of whom were out for Jackie's blood. "If you have a problem with it. elect someone else." she said several times during her talk, in which she detailed the work she's been doing the past two months and why some neighborhoods are recovering faster than others. A lot of it, of course, is just plain luck. And another part of it is just the total chaos and start* shortages that have followed. City Hall had no phone or email access until two weeks ago, when one of her start" was finally able to retrieve 1400 emails that people believed she had Back on the highway there were occasional boats still stranded in the median. Then we drove down Elysian Fields, watching the flood line go lower and lower until we reached our neighborhood and there was none. My house was sealed with a piece of corrugated metal screwed into the doors, decorated with the date that my home had been checked for survivors. I think it will hang now on one of the interior walls. There was a rat party while I was gone. Lots ofrat poop all over. But the electricity was on. The DirectTV was on. There is a hole Finally, after 30 minutes of minor complaints, a w oman stood up in the back ofthe house, and the boards are loose on one side ofthe and screamed: "I'm so embarrassed, after all that has happened, that front, as if it was hit by something~a runaway bus, perhaps?

Nanotechnology is defined as the self-assembly of atoms, molecules, or molecular clusters into structures that create materials and devices. The intricate science is the combination of physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering to create this specific field and it has recently found its way onto the LHU campus. There are five fullyequipped new labs and the program has received an increase in funding, making the seven professors as well as the students involved in the program very excited about its future. Senior Justin Ingram will be the first student to graduate from LHU in December with an associate's degree in nan- otechnology and a B.S. in Biology and Chemistry. "Building something so small that you cannot see, taste, smell or touch is really cutting edge and [nanotechnology] is a field where a lot of money is being invested in research. Cell phones are getting thinner; computer chips are holding more information; drug costs are lowering, making health care cheaper, and the list goes on," Ingram explains. Dr. Jacqueline Whitling. Associate Professor of Chemistry, is working with Ingram to develop a microscope to attach single strand DNA with a fluorescent tag to gold, then flowing over the complimentary strand with a tag and watching them hybridize. They are also looking to do this in what is called "real time." According to Ingram, real world application is when a genomic disease or disorder is attached to the gold & flows over a person's single strand DNA. (f it binds, that person would test positive for that particular disease or disorder. The goal of this project, he says, is to create the lab successfully so that it can be performed at other state schools. "The program has been incredible and has opened my eyes up to an entire new research work field." said students down the road who have an interest in the science. Two of the professors, Dr. Dongdong Jia and Dr. Marian Tzolov, both Assistant Professors of Physics, arc already working with two students each. Jit's students are on currently working Nanophosphors, a project that $100,000 from received Boston Applied Technologies and the Department of Energy Ingram. (DOE).

Not enough 'bucks' for Starbucks? Courtesy of Eagle Eye Staff Reports Adding a Starbucks cafe to one of the campus buildings is not a reality for the fall semester.

Vice President of Student Affairs, Dr. Linda Koch said that the school is having difficulties rinding a place to put an on-campus cafe aside from Java City, funding may not allow for a Starbucks until next semester.

"We'll be talking about the topic later in the course. I thought this would be a good introduction to affirmative action for them, and a way for them to get a broader perspective on the topic," said Baylor. Students met in the planetarium, where they were briefed by watching a movie on three possible approaches to the topic. The first of approach was that people, not government can ensure fairness, and dealt with eliminating affirmative action and allowing employers and colleges to choose for themselves who is most qualified. The second approach discussed helping poverty-stricken individuals to have more opporfor advancement tunities through better education proand job training. The third approach was to finish the job started and allow affirmative action to do what it was intended to do. The large group was then broken down into smaller, more intimate groups where the approaches were discussed in detail and everyone gave a "personal stake" in the matter. Personal stakes varied from being a member ofthe majority (white males) to applying to medical school as a female in coming months. "This topic involves me because I am a female and may be faced with it someday," said Hannah Thompson, a sophomore social work major. "It also affects me because in my field I will have to be working with children who come from poorer family situa- lions. I am sure this issue will come up at some point or another." Opinions on how America should deal with affirmative action differed greatly from individual to individual. "It was a really good thing in its time," said Danielle Steinbacher, a freshman health science pre-physicians assistant. Other students, such as Marccilla Veltri, a freshman international business major, felt that the country is not ready to eliminate affirmative action. "We need it," said Veltri, "Everyone is still so indecisive, especially now while our country is in the middle of a war." After the small group discussions, everyone reconvened in the planetarium, where each group had the opportunity to' pose a question to the larger; group. Questions dealt with everything from, "What would happen if we eliminated labels?" to "Would this even be an issue if the majority did not feel like they were losing power?" 1 ; The forums, which are held once a month, are organized by the University Honors Public Issues Forum (PIF) team, which is led by Dave Schott. a senior, biology-chemistry major. "I feel that forums have, made me a much more open and understanding person. I have teamed so much about myself and my own views on issues, just from listening to what others have to say. Moderating has also helped me be able to lead discussion, which will be a valuable skill when I am a teacher someday," said Jessica Sanford, a senior secondary education social studies major and a member of the PIF team. "I think that everyone on campus should have the opportunity to come to at least one forum in their career at LHU." „ Jf Shear Talent I JfCT 1 Maggie Herrickl Eagle Eye The former popular coffee spot in Raub has been missing this semester and tired students wonder when their caffeine provider will return.

This is now the NCAA Division II record that belongs to No. 19 women's volleyball team. Twenty victories in a row. This mark sets a new Lock Haven University volleyball team record.

The Haven made history in the second game of the day as they defeated Dowling W College three sets to one.

Our idols, Penn State, suffered a debilitating last second loss to a tough Michigan earn. The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered an overtime loss to a Jacksonville Jaguars team hat had no business winning. The incompetence of former Golden Boy Tommy srtaddox lost the game for them and that is all that can be said. The Eagles fans had a ough week as well since their bye did not allow them to spell their team name to any>ne and everyone. I could touch on the fact that the Penguins are 0-6, but nobody cares ibout hockey. t But this is all well and good. These are your hometown teams. You have the right o be fanatical and passionate. But what about the teams that are not from your homeown? How can a person be passionate about a team from a city or a state that they tave never even been to? Sports teams are representatives of the people living in the :ities they play in, not some kid that lives 1,500 miles away that likes their uniforms. It's like those girls that we all knew in middle school who had their Charlotte -lornets Starter Jackets because they liked the colors. Are they true fans? No. They are ;irls more interested in pretty colors than the quality of the team. This "pretty uniform" syndrome is not just a phenomenon among females. Many nales have made claims that they love teams like the Oakland Raiders and the New Means Saints because they love their uniforms. This blind obsession is one of the many reasons that true fans no longer attend a loi >f pro sporting events. The people attending the games are there for all the wrong reaions. They are not the true fans. The true fans can no longer afford to attend the games. First of all, the ticket prices to most pro sporting events are astronomical, so the true ans stay home while the tickets are given out by company bosses to their secretaries >r bought up by the young professionals. Second, half of the people at these sporting events are there to socialize, npt get owdy. Lord knows how many baseball games I've been to where I have been asked 0 sit down by some wannabe bigwig on his cell phone. Like I have said before, a porting event is an excuse to let the mob mentality take over. Get belligerent and leckle. You are just an anonymous voice in the crowd that nobody will ever see again ifter the night is over, so make the most of it. And third, the appearance of a player is no excuse to take up a seat at an event. Vomen used to flock to Orioles games just because they thought Brady Anderson was tdorable. Are those the type of fans you want at your games? I sure wouldn't. There is nothing wrong with being passionate about a team. But be passionate for 1reason; don't come up with a reason for being passionate. immM* What! Wow! M Ouch, yeah ouch. Heartbroken, not once, but twice, twice in less than 10 mjnutes and it took all of eight seconds. Eight seconds is all they needed. Two games ending ten minutes apart and with it all coming down to a measly eight seconds in two heartbreakers. With one second left on the clock, as I began to celebrate a Penn State victory Michigan scored a touchdown. A miracle yes, but I should have known better. What was I thinking? I should have known that the game is never over with time on the clock. With seven seconds left in the game and Notre Dame about to dethrone No. 1 USC, Matt Leinart dove into the end zone, saying not so fast. Michael Robinson led one of the best Penn State drives in years. Just 53 seconds on the game clock, no time outs, and he takes the Nittany Lions right into the end zone silencing the Michigan fans. It's over for Michigan and USC many thought. Both PSU and Notre Dame had the game locked, or at least I thought they did, and I am sure I was not the only one. Speechless, I did not know how to respond. How should 1 feel? 1 was stunned, but should I really be upset. Sure I wanted to see Penn State remain undefeated and was ecstatic about the possibility of seeing Notre Dame stop the perfect Trojans. Should 1 really be upset? After all this is why college football is so special. The unknown, the opportunity for any team to win on any given day. These two games were perfect examples of why college football is so captivating. It was the beauty ofunpaid athletes, college students leaving everything on the field for themselves, their coaches, their teams, their fans, their Universities, alumni, and for the tradition of their beloved schools. This was exactly why they play the game. It was two games that will go down in history, not just for their result, but for how the games were played, to the end. In two games, we saw four teams play all the way to the last whistle, leaving fans exhausted, heads shaking, dreams shattered, and one impressive win streak still intact. Heartbreakers, exactly what I didn't want, exactly what I feared, but exactly what the beauty of college football is all about. T. aatwtx onimuul aitmian 1 ■ .

This is the beginning of the chant club president and founder Rick Harvey made up last year when the Eagles Nest Society first started building in the Haven bleachers, on the sidelines, in the gymnasiums and now in the community. The Eagles Nest Society, formed at the beginning of last year, has 68 active members not counting the large number of spirited participants at the games. They work in conjunction with the cheerleaders and marching band at games and events with several organized cheers and songs and act as a university pep squad to assist in school spirit and pride. The Eagle mascot who, has made an appearance at the home eames. is usually played by one of the 'Nesters. "We are aiming to put a different face on students." said Harvey. "Some ofthe community members have negative view of college students, and we're trying to change that." he said. The club is getting involved in different service projects to incorporate school pride with community pride. So far they have collected over $3,000 in donations for Hurricane Katrina relief and that amount is still growing. Donations have been collected from various clubs on campus such as The Social Work Club in addition to many personal donations, donations from downtown merchants and through can collection. Just over $ 1,000 was collected at the Homecoming game alone giving the hurricane relief collection effort a healthy start. With assistance from Mr. Peter Campbell in the athletic department, the bookstore, and a grant from a national organization called Choice (promoting non-alcoholic events), the club is well underway to help with the University Community Partnership for Disaster Relief. The club will donate all their relief effort proceeds to local Louisiana organizations and a few ofthe club members will be attending the Mountain Serve trip south over Thanksgiving break. The money is going to eight small, local Louisiana organizations. • This week's theme for the club is, "White Out IUP," in which the club is asking Haven supporters to wear white to the home football game at Hubert Jack Stadium at 1 p.m. "Show your pride. Wear your white. Let's 'White Out* IUP," said Harvey. The club is also planning to help out with Make a Difference Day downtown and in Triangle Park on Oct. 19. Their goal? It's simple. They want to .show positive school spirit and pride with as many people as possible. So, Hold that line for old Crimson and White. Sons and daughters show your might. So, Fight, Fight!

Heather Barbour, laid in bed as she looked across her bare white, brick dorm room in High Hall. Across her room, her sturdy desk held several thick bound books and a long "to do list" that waited to be checked off. She carefully pondered the thought of getting up from her comfortable bed to crack open a book, but made no movements besides the pressure ofher index finger against the remote to change T.V. channels. After several hours of procrastination, Heather pulled her midnight blue comforter that hugged her body tightly, stood up, and whisked her midnight dark hair away from her face. At that moment, she felt an overwhelming feeling at the pit ofher stomach. She recognized this feeling all too well. As her stomach began to growl, her knees began to buckle at the thought of the emptiness inside ofher. It didn't take too long before she realized that hunger had filled her thoughts. Her stomach was begging for food, but her cupboards were full of dust and spider webs, and her wallet had been nearly sucked dry from weekend events. What is a college student to do? Every college student faces these problems at one time or another; hunger, no food, and limited funds from mom and dad. "/ was hungry and had $3 to my name," said Heather as she looked through her wallet. ;"In my college career I've ; learned to get by while staying '. within my budget." That's why this list gives ! every LHU student the opportunity to make the most out of a little. While saving the best for last, here are the top five meals ; on a college budget. 5. PB&J This meal has been around since sliced bread. Babysitters across the country have made Collage by Maggie HerricklEagle Eye As everyone knows, eating a good meal for a decent price is not an easy thing during college. Some foods, however, do provide a satisfying way to eat. These foods include Ramen, PB & J and soup. peanut butter and jelly sand- wiches for children who are old enough to chew. Well now, this can be your own inexpensive college meal. All you need is peanut butter for $1.49, jelly for SI.89. and bread for SI.99 and you not only have a tasty meal but a fast meal too. "1 like to get creative with my PB & J sandwiches," said junior Erin Froelich with a clever smirk on her face. "If I don't use jelly I use Fluff that runs about the same price. I also add bananas for potassium." This meal gives even the most inexperienced cook the possibility to stir things up and use their creativity. 4. Lipton's Rice Sides Rice Sides ask for a little more skill from an individual; the skill of firmly pressing microwave buttons. If done correctly, in just eight to 10 minutes a college student can have sizzling taco flavored rice, or any other tasty flavor oftheir liking. All you need is a $.94 packet of rice found at Wal-mart in Mill Hall, and water to make this delicious meal come alive on your plate. "These are really cheap and tasty," said Erin. "And I usually list, for $3.85 you can buy a box offour packets and eat "mac and cheese" several times a week.

The truth is, first semester students learn how to cook Ramen Noodles without the use of a stove. "This is a meal that every student makes at one point in their college career," said senior Kellie Bebee. "As soon as you see the packaging it justreminds you of your college days." For $0.25 you can buy a packet of Ramen Noodles at Weis, located on Bellcfonte Avenue, and make it in your microwave in a matter of eight minutes. Adding water will do the trick and constant stirring will soften the noodles. After the noodles are soft as a sponge, add the flavoring that comes in the packet, and you have yourself a meal for $0.25. Noodles never tasted so good. I. Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup "When you first think about making this meal, it sounds a little expensive for a college student," said senior John Davis. "But yet again, I'm a college student; I know how to get around these technicalities." John Davis placed his hands on his desk and pushed himself up to his feet. He walked towards his closet and pulled out an ironing board which he placed firmly in front of him. "I'm gonna show you a little trick that 1 picked up in my five years of college." said John as a grin stretched across his face from ear to ear. "Now this takes some practice but it's possible." As an iron began to warm up, John took out two slices of bread, a slice of cheese, and laid them carefully on the ironing board. He then put the cheese between the slices of bread and placed the hot iron over top, switching the sandwich from side to side until the bread had a toasty look to it and the cheese began to ooze from the edges. "Making grilled cheese was never this much fun," said John. "All 1 need is to buy a $.89 can of tomato soup from Wal-Mart and 1 got myself a meal." students are College known for trying to make the most out of a little, especially when it comes to food and their bank accounts. Students have been known to crush aluminum cans for cash exchange at a recycling center, they sell previously written papers to underclassmen, and they even donate plasma for $50 in State College for some extra spending money. Although their means may be low, you can never underestimate the creativity of a student to make a great meal on a college budget. Theatre troupe to take part in mystery, suspense Courtesy of Robin Conklin LHU Public Relations Mark Petrucelli plays the Inspector in the first of three plays sponsored by the University Players. "An Inspector Calls" is directed by Anna Yothers. After an enjoyable evening of celebration, the Birling family's safe and seemingly secure reality is shattered when "an Inspector calls." What does the Inspector have to tell them? How do they react to the Inspector's interrogation? Who is to blame for the crime? The audience will be confronted with these questions and more when the Lock Haven University Players opens their fall season with "An Inspector Calls." The curtain goes up in the Countdown Theatre tonight at 8 p.m., and runs through Saturday, Oct. 22. Mr. and Mrs. Birling are holding a small dinner party in their home to celebrate the engagement of their daughter, Sheila, to Gerald Croft, a prominent member of the community. An inspector interrupts the party to question the family about the events leading up to a young woman's suicide. As the play unfolds, the Inspector reveals that each member of the family has had some kind of sig- nificant encounter with the young woman that may have caused her to commit suicide. The Inspector provides the Birlings with the opportunity to discover how connected our lives truly are and how responsible we should be for one another. How the Birlings react to these revelations is the central premise of "An Inspector Calls." The original production of "An Inspector Calls" featured Alec Guinness and opened in 1946. The play was adapted for film in 1954 and featured Alastair Sim as the Inspector. Stephen Daldry's postmodern production of "An Inspector Calls" enjoyed a 10year run on London's famed West End. opening on Sept. 11, 1992 in the Lyttelton Theatre and closing on May 11, 2002 in the Playhouse Theatre. Members of the university's ensemble cast include: Chris Grouzes and Caitlen Buck as Mr. and Mrs. Biding, Jena Frankenburger as Sheila, Eric Tuller as Gerald Croft and Mark Petrucelli as the Inspector. Rounding out the ensemble cast are Matt Faragasso as Eric Birling and Erin Soring as Edna, the maid. Anna Yothers, director and costume designer, has been involved with theatre at Lock Haven University since 1999. She directed "Car Pool" (2001) and several small productions for directing class. She also served as stage manager for several university productions including "Blithe Spirit" (2004), "Godspell" (2002) , and "Same Time Next Year" (2001). The design team for the production consists of Amanda Whitesel, scenic designer, Jenny Casalenuovo, lighting designer, and Erin Soring, prop designer. The designers created two worlds, one in which the characters accept their contribution to the girl's suicide, and one where the characters do not accept that guilt. These two worlds will be created with lighting effects, the use of a partially raised stage, colors, and more. Admission is free to all Countdown Theatre productions on a first-come, firstserve basis. All seats are general admission and seating is limited. Please arrive early, as latecomers will not be admitted. For further ticket information, contact the Lock Haven University Department of Performing Arts at (570) 893-2143.
