The ESjle Eye Issue 1 3 Volume 55 Memorial celebrates Pyle's life Sean Dooley Editor in Chief Friday, September 13> 2002 Lock Haven LHU looks back, moves forward Anastasia Bannikova Staff Reporter It was a night of music remembrance. A Community Tribute to the Spirit of America concert, held at the Russell lawn Wednesday night, housed numerous local performers and speakers to mourn a one-year-anniversary of the 11th September and Friends and family gathered for a memorial in honor of Daniel William Pyle, an LHU student and member of the ROTC who died in a car accident two weeks ago, was held yesterday. During the memorial, several Bible passages were read. Many members of the ROTC were in attendance and said a few words about Pyle's aspirations in the army. "He was an inspiration to all cadets," said Lt. Col. St. Andre. "Young cadets looked up to him. It was a great honor to have known him." Andre said that Pyle had great potential, and announced that a scholarship in Pyle's name had been created. Pyle's father, Donald Pyle, expressed his thanks to the University officials for their sorrow. He said that Dr. Linda Koch wrote a letter to the family and President Craig Dean Willis called the Pyle residence. He also recalled when Daniel helped work on cars and helped remodel the family home. "I was very proud to have Daniel as a son," Donald Pyle said. "If I could have, I would have taken his place." Donald said that he and his wife, Diane, prayed for a miracle while they visited Daniel in the hospital, but in the end, it wasn't possible. "I know today, Daniel is in heaven," he said. Donald said that his son's death involved alcohol, traveling at high speed and failure to use a seatbelt. Donald always told his son to be careful while on the road. "I didn't think my son would be a statistic," he said. *' attacks. In addition, the city of Lock Haven honored various military branches for serving in the past and present. Three keynote speakers who were directly related to the last years events were LHU graduates Terry Hirten ('78), James Furry ('72) and Mike Hanna ('77). Hirten, a New York City's Ilk ■ tiki mm Firefighter from Queens, thanked the audience for the support of NYFD. With 24-hour shifts after the tragedy, he realized how supportive the whole nation was. "Children from all over the country would send us letters. It shows us that we are a united country, like a united family," he said.

The message she delivered was one ofhope, perseverance and motivation. She recalled moments in her track & field career that caused her to grow and push herself harder both as an athlete and as a person.

He spent his 60-hour work weeks in his office in Newark, New Jersey where he had to collect information on the Anthrax cases and the kidnapping of Daniel Pearl. Although, he said, the FBI had more than 11,000 agents and depends on the local and state law enforcement, it wasn't enough. "The heart of freedom begins in universities." Furry stressed on the fact that a free exchange of ideas and experiences is crucial for young people. "I applaud to (LHU) for its deep respect of open society, for distilling these values to graduates," he said in the conclusion. A local Pennsylvania State Representative, Mike Hanna, gave a powerful speech on what he called "the most tragic event in American history." He strongly stressed the importance of a family and mutual love to carry on. "It's easier for us to go by our daily lives, but it doesn't mean that we've forgotten.

A total of 86,898 students have been denied financial aid since the enforcement of the HEA drug provision in 2000 and the DOE estimates that tens of thousands of students will choose not to apply for federal financial aid due to the provision. A drug conviction is the only crime that results in the loss of federal financial assistance. Students convicted of any other crime, including murder or rape, may still receive full funding. In a recent statement, Rep. Mark Souder, R-Ind., the bill's author, stated that the measure was originally enacted to cut federal funding to those students who received drug convictions while already receiving aid. He also hoped that the bill would act as a means to discourage drug use among high school teens.

Now suspension of aid is mandatory.

In the computer labs, frustrated students trying to install it on computers blocked by administrators. As you walk down dorm hall ways, every once in a while you hear the "doorbell" as someone's buddy appears on hisor her computer. I'm talking about the Instant Messenger craze that is sweeping college students across the country. While I will agree that it is a good way for students to keep in touch with long dis tance family and friends for no cost, I have seen way too many people fall into the trap and become IM addicts. For example, an old roommate ofmine used to leave her away messages on for hours at a time while she was out ofthe room. That would be all fine and dandy, except we lived in an old fashioned dorm where the phone and com puter shared a line. That meant that she tied up the phone line all day long to let people know she was "at class" or "doing laundry." Who the hell cares? Isn't that what every student at every college was probably doing at that exact same time? Did people really care to read that she was busy washing her dirty underwear and socks? I don't think so. It's amazing to see how long some of these users remain online. I admit that I do have a screen name, and will occasionally sign on to keep in touch with a few friends. But a few of my "buddies" stay on for hours at a time, and some even days. The longest sign-on time I've ever seen has been 5 day s 5 hours, and 35 minutes. ' m really not trying to bash IM users. It is a good keep-in-touch-when-youhave-a-few ;l;xtra-minutes tool. But it shouldn't take over your life.

It's a t0 easy to get caught up in. Sean Dooley Editor in Chief First I would like to say that I am not on instant messenger 24/7 as I am Jess is going to accuse me of. But I really don't think it's bad to be signed on all time. I have a few reasons for this. First of all, not everyone has a cell phone. Therefore, the quickest way to reach a lot of people is through instant messenger. I personally don't answering machines, though the net can screw up a lot, too, but I more faith in computers than telephones. Another thing, maybe a friend of yours who has moved away wants to say "hi". Wouldn't you rather attempt talking on the internet than wasting the money on long distance only to leave a message and have tc pay for it? I'd rather talk for free. Yeah, so I'm thrifty (or cheap, whatev er!). Big freakin' deal. One thing that I don't like is those idiots who actually say where they are and what they're doing in their away messages. Personally, when I put an away message up I make it witty. I don't say what I'm doing with my time unless I can make somebod) laugh with it. Also, it really annoys me when people say, "leave one." How chidish is that? It's almost like begging someone to write to you. Now that I think about it, I'm sitting at my computer 95 percent of the time even when I do have an away message up Why? Well, sometimes I don't want to talk to someone signed on my buddy list, but if somebody I do like comes on, I'll talk to him or her and sign under a different screen name. That's why it's OK to have more than one name. Also, you never know when somebody you never would have otherwise met is pjpjpjjpjpjpj going to talk to you. I once talked to somebody from Indonesia on IM. How you going to do that if you're not online often? So what else can 1 say? That it took two weeks for Jess and I to actually find something that we disagreed on? That you should show your support for O & A at saveopieandanthony.net? That you can send your Eagle Eye personals to eepersonals@hotmaiI.com? I don'tknow. Maybe I'll sign online. Send me an IM! s we too hooked Faculty Advisor Dr. Douglas S.

In the last presidential election, only 51 % ofAmericans voted, and as we all know by the very controversial election process, Bush won by a very slim margin.

On Friday, I was told that I could only receive store credit. I suppose the fault of my anguish is my own: I paid by check. Now, if this were most any other store, I may be able to use my $80 store credit in the near future. However, at the bookstore I have no need for credit. I won't buy 13 packs of cigarettes for $6 each. I don't want 50 stickers for my car or five sweatshirts to show people in my classes what school I go to. I'm certainly not going to buy any more books there. My only recourse is to go to my bank and obtain a statement that proves that the check cleared, but then only after the first of October. Wait a minute, I bet that's why there is a bank in WalMart. That way any returns can be expedited by simply stepping to the next counter and getting proof of payment. not finished Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong. I thought that the purpose of a university and, by extension, its connected parts (read: SCC), would strive to instill a sense of successful business practices in its students by example. For the most part, LHU does that. As for the bookstore, I have no idea how it expects to survive. Many alternative methods for purchasing books are available and offer better approaches to customer service. Any approach at all is better in Yes, they have my view. enjoyed limited competition for as long as they've been open, I'm sure. For the sake of students who are not ready to buy books online, I hope they can find a better route to customer satisfaction. Otherwise, those students who were not ready to shop elsewhere may become very ready, very quickly. I have. In the mean time, I'll have to think ofhow to spend my $80, I have a month. Sincerely, Greg Jeffries again, with few messages appealing to the young, and the cycle starts over. This is unfortunate, because the young oftoday will be the old of tomorrow, sitting in their rocking chairs and complaining because the country isn't being run the way they would like. So wouldn't it make more sense if the young increased their voting frequency and start being heard now, before they have something to complain about? If politicians see higher incidences of young voters, they will begin to see that we are a force to be reckoned with, and start addressing issues that directly affect us. It's not rocket science. One of the most influential reasons that the young don't vote is that they don't know where they stand in the political spectrum. Democrat, republican, green party., what's the difference? All I have to say is pick up a government or politics book, you'd be surprised at what you might leam about yourself.

Whether it's pasted in their window, stuck to their car or sewn on their shirt, people are covered with the Red, White, and Blue. This in itself, of course, is certainly not a bad thing. So where was this highflying pride last September 10th? Huh? I know where it was. It was buried, drowning under a flood of self-indulgence and complaints. We weren't getting paid enough, our houses weren't big enough, our cars weren't expensive enough, and we weren't getting enough attention. We were demanding recounts. Life was full oftrivial trifles. once But disaster struck, all of this was forgotten. Suddenly, it was a privilege just to be alive. Any salary would do, any house is good, a car is a luxury in itself, and we placed all of our attention on our recovery. Instantly, flags were flying. The banners were unfurled, and the Star Spangled Banner was belted out by a nation in unison. This is all fine and dandy, but the sad fact is, those flags were always there. The banners had been stashed, and the words to the song forgotten. We had been ashamed to show them before, because it would have meant that we were not paying enough attention to ourselves. It would have meant that we were proud to live in a country that wasn't giving us enough of what we wanted. But now we all display "Old Glory" everywhere we can, in hopes of showing off to others that we support the cause. Regardless of how we really feel, we have all jumped onto the "Patriotism Bandwagon." To do otherwise would be treasonous. When Alan Jackson's "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning" is played for the fifth time in the past hour, do we change the LA station? Even *l this, we have once again lost the plot. We have swayed too far the other way. Where we were once oblivious to our vast amount of freedoms, we have now overlooked our responsibilities. Don't get me wrong, there were those out there who loved this land before with the same ferocity that they do now. The true patriots have always been there, and will always be would be there.

Things we would have abhorred a year ' Army starting a real food fight Dave Barry Knight Ridder Newspapers The U.S. Army is developing a new Combat Sandwich. Really. Army food technicians say this sandwich can remain edible, without refrigeration, for three years. Granted, that's nowhere near the staying power ofthose $4.50 hot dogs they sell at airports, some of which have been rotating on their grills since the Lindbergh flight. But it's still impressive. I recently had an opportunity to field-test the new Combat Sandwich, and will give you my review once I get my new artificial stomach. ITARY FOOD: The legendary French general Napoleon "Bone" Aparte once observed that "an army marches on its stomach." Of course Napoleon was talking about French soldiers, who drank large quantities of wine and thus often could not march on their actual feet ("Forward CRAWL!"). In battle, they routinely shot at their own artillery to make it shut up so they could sleep. But the point is that food is vital for soldiers. The ancient Romans understood this: No matter how far their soldiers ventured from Rome, they knew No, seriously, rrri'flheV that,1 cbtne 'dinnertime, the and my review will follow this Domino's delivery chariot would informative HISTORY OF MIL- come thundering into camp, ... driven by a man who knew that if he was more than 30 minutes late, he would be disemboweled. By the American Civil War, the military had developed a ration called "hardtack," which was similar to plywood, but not as tender. The advantage of hardtack was that it did not spoil, so if soldiers were pinned down on the battlefield, unable to get supplies, they could simply reach into their knapsacks, pull out their hardtack, and throw it at the enemy. In World War II, the army developed "K-rations," which were critical to the outcome of the war, because the allied'soldiers'knew that if they won, they would no longer have to eat K-rations. After the war, of leftover K-rations were given to starving war refugees, who gave them back. Today they are used primarily in road construction and fruitcake. So food has played a vital role in military history, which is why the army's new Combat Sandwich is so exciting. When 1 heard about it, I asked the army to send me one, and the army graciously sent me two: one barbecued chicken, and one pepperoni, both wrapped in brown military foil packets that you need a bayonet to open. I field-tested these sandwiches on a Florida beach, where the harsh battlefield-style conditions included heat, sand, And now that a year has past, where are the flags now? Still hanging on our front porches where they have remained, regardless of the weather? Or are they lying on the ground along the side of the road because they blew off of our cars and we didn't have the decency to stop and pick them up? Are they still on our cars, but tattered and dirty from being flung around at interstate speeds for the past 365 days? Are they sewn on our shirts which are stashed in our closet because it is no longer in vogue to wear them all the time? You see, in showing our love for our country, we must also understand and respect the rules regarding that show ofappreciation. Let us not pervert and cheapen this wonderful institute of nationalism by simply going with the flow. Let us display it because we believe it. anything is going to ruin a person's appetite for a sandwich, it is suddenly finding yourself face to face with the flagrant crevasse that this man was sporting. I think the authorities should crack down (Har!) on this kind ofbeach attire. I think that Coast Guard ships should patrol along the beaches, and when they spot a man large bethonged ("CHEEKS HO!") I think that Greenpeace be damned harpoons should be employed. But even under these conditions, the Combat Sandwich held up well. It's a "pocket" style sandwich, which everything is tasty, including cold cuts so old that when you try to take them out of the refrigerator, they skitter away on little mold legs and hide behind the beer. I will eat food with an expiration date written in Roman numerals. In conclusion, the Combat Sandwich is a strong addition to our nation's combatfood arsenal. It is a tribute to the men and women who devised it, and the courageous barbecued chickens and pepperonis who gave their lives to make it possible. I know I speak on behalf of a grateful nation when I say: What's for dessert? and a large pink man walking means it looks as if it has spent time in somebody's pocket. But I thought it was quite tasty, in a around in a tiny red thong. If spicy way. Of course, 1 think tons Convenience can wait; let's put safety first Leonard Pitts Jr. Knight Ridder Newspapers Look, I'm happy to take off my shoes if that's what is required. If somebody wants to paw through my underwear, swab chemicals on my briefcase or squeeze private regions ofmy body, I'm fine with that, too. Hell, if my seventy-something aunt with the bad hip objects to any of the above on the grounds that she hardly fits anyone's profile of a terrorist, I'm perfectly willing to hold her down until she has been well and thoroughly frisked. Just so long as all that ensures that I can fly safely, secure in the knowledge that no one has been allowed to carry weapons aboard the aircraft. Is that too much to ask? Apparently, yes. That's the unavoidable conclusion now that a team of reporters from the New York Daily News has managed, for the second time in a year, to carry contraband items through airport security. The reporters traveled over Labor Day weekend on one-way tickets supposedly a security red flag. They took 14 flights from 11 airports, including those through which terrorists traveled last year. The reporters never tried to evade security checkpoints and made no attempt to hide the banned items, other than putting them in carry-on bags. And, even though the bags were X-rayed and some were hand-searched, in no instance did security find the pepper spray, razor knives and box cutters packed inside. You know the part that scares me? Not just that some- _ body managed to get weapons through security, but that journalists did. Not to dis my own, but we members of the Fourth Estate aren't exactly known for our technical savvy and mechanical know-how. We're the kind of folks who keep Jiffy Lube in business. If a bunch of English majors can breach airline security, anybody can. And that's a disquieting thought. Remember those signs you used to see at security checkpoints warning you that the airport in Mugwump, Africa, or Cgyzny, Eastern Europe, did not meet U.S. safety standards? You shook your head, feeling vaguely sorry for the poor devils in those backwater places. Meanwhile, your security routine consisted of being waved through a metal detector and politely asked if anyone had given you a bomb to carry onboard. Where airline safety is concerned, the events of last Sept. 11 were supposed to have done two things: end our smugness and toughen our security. A year later, it seems increasingly clear that while the former may have happened, the latter certainly did not. We've been given the illusion of increased security without the actual fact of it. I made several calls, trying to get someone from the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington to explain this to me. No one ever picked up the phone. Apparently, the FAA was not at home. You think I'm making that up. I only wish I were. Hey, I won't pretend I'm an expert in airline security; I was an English major, after all. But I am absolutely an expert in the field of Not Wanting To Become Human Confetti While Trying To Get To Spokane. And in my considered opinion, the measures taken to beef up airport security have proven woefully inadequate. In the first hot days after Sept. 11, there was lots of talk that U.S. carriers should emulate El Al, Israel's state airline, which thoroughly interrogates ever flier, hand searches every bag, stations air marshals on every flight. El Al security procedures are rigorous, timeand consuming, invasive effective. No one has hijacked an Israeli plane in over a quarter ... eral consensus that Americans would never stand still for that sort of inconvenience. Inconvenience being a mortal sin in a drive-through nation. But you know something? It's not exactly a barrel of laughs standing there in your socks being groped by some stranger, either. You put up with it because you think you're getting something out of it. Meaning security not its illusion. A year ago, we said this nation had been fundamentally changed. If that was truly the case, then the question of what to do to ensure air safety should be a no-brainer. _ century.

However, besides vanous programs at the university, the Lock Haven Area YMCA could be one of the few but important options where students can spend their spare time and benefit both educationally and financially. Established in 1963, the YMCA has played significant role for the university students and the community. "This is the platform where students and theLock Haven community can mix and enjoy together," said Jason Gotschall, program director ofthe YMCA. Through the programs like Project Coffeehouse, YMCA encourages youths to show their hidden talent and at the same time enjoy the programs in an alcohol and drug-free want to perform, Project Coffeehouse could be your platform," said Gotschall. The Coffeehouse runs Monday through Thursday 7 to 10p.m. and at 8 p.m. to midnight on Friday in the basement of YMCA. Various local and high school bands usually perform on Friday nights. Admission is free. For the fall 2002, Project Coffee House has organized digital photography, abstract paintings, guitar and pottery workshops.

"All of the western states were beautiful," he said. "Grand Teton and Yellowstone were just amazing." He admits that the whole country was not spectacular.

I've been told that this is because of an old law that is still on the books in our town.

Arusha is a large city located in the northern sector of the country approximately 50 miles west of Africa's highest the peak, famed Mt. The Eagle Eye While most of us were home working, performing internships, and a multitude of other things this summer in preparation for fall semester, veteran boxing coach, Dr. Ken Cox, traveled to Tanzania in East Africa for 21 days in June. He served as a guest clinician for the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Solidarity High Performance Style Boxing Coaches Certification Level II Course. This was Cox's 10th IOC Solidarity assignment, which has, literally, taken him around the world. Most recently he taught in Fiji (1996-97-98), North Korea (1999), Ghana (1999), Bangladesh (2000) Bahamas (2001) , and now Tanzania (2002) A professor emeritus in HPER, Cox is also an elite level IV certified U.S.A. Boxing coach. The IOC course consisted of sixty hours of theoretical, tactical and technical instruction. To receive credit for the course, the participants had to successfully complete a three-hour written and practical examination. At the graduation ceremony each coach received both an IOC and USAB Certificate. Twenty-five regional and national coaches successfully completed the Level II examination. The course lectures were conducted on . mm mwl /' Kilmanjaro. While in Tanzania for three weeks, Cox was afforded the opportunity to visit a Maasai village, the Ngorongoro Crater, the National Museum and the Serengeti Game Reserve where he enjoyed the exotic wildlife. He also observed the traditional folk (ngumas) dances, attended a traditional Maasai marriage ceremony and attended church services at the International Baptist Church (AIBC) in Arusha. "I had the week-ends off so I could travel and experience the rich cultural traditions that Tanzania offered. The hub of Tanzania society is the family," said Cox. "One of the most memorable things that I saw was a pack of 8-10 Cheetahs (duma) running upwards to 70 mph in front of our safari truck on the edge of the Serengeti National Park. I got to see all of the hunter's "Big Five", the leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, buffalo and lion, but the cheetahs and giraffes were most impressionable to me."

Tanzania has 120 tribes, although the widespread majority is of Bantu origin. Despite its size and ethnic diversity, Tanzania is the only African country where language barriers do not exist among the people. All the country's inhabitants as its lingus franca have accepted Kiswahili. Kiswahili is now a compulsory subject in the country's schools and has been included in the syllabus at universities. However the most widespread and popular language used in Tanzania is English and is the dominant means of communication in all institutions of learning. The people of Tanzania are unbelievably friendly and get along very well. The country had been a "communist" nation until the mid 90's. As would be expected, the transition from developing socialism (communism) to a democracy has been somewhat difficult. However, the population is working very hard at making the transition. This is evident in all aspects of Tanzania life including Amateur Sport/Boxing. Style) (Olympic boxing is the second most popular sport behind soccer. The Tanzanian people will literally give you the shirt off their backs. Cox took 60 LHU Boxing Tshirts along with assorted boxing equipment donated by Ringside, Everlast, and USAB. He had to obtain an overload permit to get all the things into the country. Getting out of Tanzania took a lot of muscle, because he had two large duffel bags filled with Tanzanian folklore and gifts presented to me during my stay there.

I love experiencing different cultures and teaching my favorite subject, "Olympic Style Boxing" to coaches from developing nations. The are most appreciative and easy to teach.

After a hard fought battle, the Haven came out the losers, 34-12. Although play was evenly matched throughout, Shippensburg was by far a better rucking and passing team and they capitalized on the Haven's inexperience. Throughout the first half, play was hard nosed and both teams fought well for the ball. Bothe teams were hard hitting and on some drives the Haven was winning the ball. A score early put Ship out to a 5-0 lead. When just minutes later, the Haven drove the ball right up the gut of the field culminating with a score by Jimmy "Hercules" Rousch. Another score on excellent passing by the Shippensburg backs led to a 10-5 lead heading into the sec- ond half. Ship led the second off with a breakaway score followed by an extra points kick giving them a hefty 17-5 lead. After an enormous amount of knock-ons and sloppy passes by both teams, Ship came out with another score making the score, 12-5. Only moments later the Haven surprised Ship with a quick kick and Randy "C.J." Helsman came out with a try. Matt "Sally" Pollilo made the two point extra kick and the score was then 22-12 still in Shippensburg's favor. Two final scores in the half made by Ship put the game basically out of reach for the Haven and the final was 34-12. Although this was a disheartening loss for the Haven, the scrimmage was a good learning experience for the rookies and let the Haven know what it needs to work on for their upcoming home match against Bloomsburg this Saturday at 2 p.m. at the West Branch fields.

"It's inconvenient but we get peace of mind." Roby said the events of Sept. 11 had convinced him more than ever of the importance of sport. "Sports will end up being more important because we need additional opportunities for people to sort of work out some of the frustration and anxiety they feel is happening in the world that they can't influence," he said. "But sports is also a way to share a common love for something that brings people together. We feel sports is a great common denominator." At the same time, sports fans need to keep things in perspective, something "Monday Night Football" broadcaster Al Michaels reminded reporters recently. "I've always felt you have to have everything in perspective," Michaels said during a conference call with reporters. "It should never take a tragedy and granted this was the worst of all but through the years, I've never quite understood when we have said following some sort of disaster that this puts everything in perspective. Sports fans should always have things in perspective. And those of us in the business should as _ well. "This is entertainment. This a is lot of fun. People get a lot of enjoyment out of it. And it really shouldn't take anything apart from that to make it anything but what it really is. It's great to be a fan. And it's great to be passionate about your team and all the rest. But, I mean, I hope we are to the point where we just never again have to say it takes something like a horrible tragedy to put things in perspec- tive."
