See A2 Wednesday, November 3, 2004 Volume 60 Issue 9 ELECTION STILL UP IN AIR The majority of those who participated in LHU's mock election support John Kerry for president Lisa Kiwak Staff Reporter vote, even though it was a mock Lock Haven University voted for John F. Kerry as our next President, in the mock election held on campus last week. University students, staff, and faculty had the opportunity to predict the winner of the Presidential race this past Thursday, in a mock election. The election was organized by the Black Student Union. Students from the honors program also volunteered their time to help with the election. According to Del Sellers, the President of the Black Student Union, the reason for the mock election was to get a snap shot of where our university stood. "It was a big election," said Sellers. "Maybe the biggest election ofall time." The mock election was setup in Bentley Dining Hall and was open for voters from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm. Since it was a mock election, voters did not even need to be registered to participate. With proper identification students, staff, and faculty were able to pick their candidate for President. "It was important to me to election," said junior Doug Spatafore. "It didn't take very long, and I was curious to see how the rest of the university was going to vote." Pictures ofeach candidate, as we!! as excerpts of where they stand on important issues, were made available to voters. "The faculty and staff didnot vote as much as the students," said freshman Autumn Riley, who volunteered her time to help at the mock election. In total only 283 students, staff, and faculty turned out to vote in the election. Many students voted, some faculty, but very few ofthe staffparticipated. " The election was not as successful as I thought it would be," Sellers said. "I was hoping for 500-1,000 people and not even 300 showed up to vote." Although there was no booth tor voters to step into, many of the candidates on the ballot were the same candidates, voters saw on Tuesday. In fact, some the candidates in Thursday's mock election, were not even on ballot Tuesday's in Pennsylvania. These candidates were included, to show the variety of candidates running for the I ■ Presidency. In the mock election voters were given the opportunity to vote for: Republicans George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, our current President and Vice President. Representing the Democratic Parry on the ballot, were Senators John F. Kerry and John Edwards. Also featured on the ballot were candidates from the Constitution Party, Green Party, Libertarian Party, and Reform Party/Independent. Sellers stated that, 55 percent of voters, voted for Kerry. 34 percent voted for Bush. 5 percent ofthe votes went to Nader. 2 percent voted for Cobb, the representative for the Green Parry. 1.5 percent of voters, voted for Badnarik, the representative from the Libertarian Party. 1.5 percent of the votes went to Peroutka ofthe Constitution, and 1 percent of votes went to none ofthe above. According to Sellers, the President of the University, Dr. Miller, held the keys to the ballot box until the end ofthe election. The ballots were then placed in a tamper proof envelop, and taken to the computing center for tallying. - t«P " ll|lii|pife : i PP1 ■bV "■ v - ■B^^^Bfl^BBaRrrki \ it ■ LbbbbW ./it^BR ' * * Mi ' bbv^^^^ T * ,4 '^V^IBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBbI '^^BBBBBBflBflfl 4^I^^^Blilv)BBBBBBBBBBBBBBV aflv Wmr V ;i''j^Bfl^Bfl^BBB^Bfl^Bfl^Bfl^Bl V LbW £A __TM __L--_J m fl _iiiflH_k\HLiiiH_ — B** *""s*U mm I.

Corrine Smith Staff Reporter LHU's College and Republicans Young Democrats squared of last Thursday in what would be the last debate on campus before the 2004 Presidential Election. The event drew a crowd of about 40 students, faculty, and guests, including Lock Haven Mayor Rick Villelo and the Republican State Representative candidate for the 76th District John T. Krupa. Serving as moderator for the event was Lock Haven Express Editor Bob Sealy. Representatives from the respective organizations were fielded questions on issues such as healthcare, legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes, the war on terror, gay marriage, and education. Healthcare, the war on terror, and education are key issues in the upcoming election, issues that President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry differ widely on. Representatives of the College Republicans stated that Bush is for malpractice reform and he will put an end to frivolous lawsuits. They stated that Senator Kerry has repeatedly opposed malpracThe Young tice reform. that Kerry is Democrats insist "socialization of healthfor the care" similar to that ofCanada: if you pay more taxes in, you gel more out of healthcare. The Young Republicans also stated that Kerry opposes stem-cell research and that Bush is the first president ever to approve this technology. Ihe Young Democrats countered that Kerry is for stemcell research with ethical limitations and that Bush is the first president involved in the research because it is such new technology. In a heated debate regarding the war in Iraq, the Young Republicans defend Bush by stating that weapons of mass destruction are out there, and Bush is taking steps to seek them out and that Kerry is wrong by stating otherwise. "Kerry has lied," said Hackney. "I am not afraid to use that word like other politicians." The Young Democrats rebutted by stating that Kerry is committed to putting money into military intelligence and cutting frivolous military spending. The Young Democrats cited a flawed "No Child Left Behind Act" as their primary argument for Kerry's education reform plan. The representatives explained that as the act is now, there are no stipends disabled or gifted students and that if the school does not pass the required tests, they are labeled as "failing." Parents then have the option to send their children to a "passing" school, creating an even wider socioeconomic gap in poor schools. Poor schools stay poor. The Young Republicans respond with Bush's expansion plan, including student loan forgiveness, monetary incentives, and funding for high school advanced placement classes. When asked to make one last pitch for their candidate, the College Republicans stated that Bush has a plan, and Kerry has only promises. They also added that the only thing Kerry is consistent about is being inconsistent. The Young Democrats endorsed Kerry based in part on his stance on environmental issues and urged voters to ask themselves: Are we better now that we were at the turn of the century? State Representative candidate Krupa applauded both organizations for an outstanding job and stated that young people getting involved was paramount to this [political! institution. Mayor Villelo was also pleased with the event and left the crowd with these words of wisdom: "On Wednesday, we aren't Democrats or Republicans anymore; we are all Americans." President Keith T. Miller and attendees of his first open meeting ofthe semester decided many of the measures the state school system puts on Pennsylvania's 14 universities are unfair. Miller said that two of the issues that are most often discussed during state school system meetings in Harrisburg are graduation rates and second year persistence rates ofthe universities. With a six-year graduation rate of49 percent and a four-year rate of 25 percent Lock Haven University "can improve on those things" said Miller What these calculations overlook is the number of part-time students that attend the universities. Miller said that the number of adult part-time students is grow- ing and they should not be expected to graduate within only four to six years. Lock Haven University's esteemed study abroad program was also mentioned as a reason most students need longer than four years to graduate. The program may put students behind, but provides them with a greater quality of education and outlook on the world. These things are not being considered in Harrisburg when graduation rates are researched. Miller said that the state system is monetarily awarding the universities with higher numbers in these areas. " This coming year we're getting $843,000. But, if they had appropriated dollarsthe way they used to and just given us our share, we would have gotten over a million," said Miller. "We're losing money with these measures, lliat's a scary thing for me." Large universities in the state system make the argument that there is a bias on small universities when it comes to second year persistence rates. They claim that their smaller student to teacher ratio and class sizes allow them to retain higher numbers in this area. Small universities feel there is a bias on large universities when it comes to measures on minority student enrollment. An attendee of the meeting used as an example the comparison of Lock Haven University to West Chester saying the state system has to take geographic's into account. Miller said LHU has done very well with diversity considering the region it is located in. "It's unfortunate that [the state system] is comparing universities putting us, pitting us against each other in some respects." said Miller. "I think it's counterproductive in a lot of - ways."

Perhaps the Staff Reporter The spirit of Halloween was definitely in the air on Saturday October 30th, as was an enthusiastic spirit of volunteerism. This past Saturday, Lock Haven students took part in the nation-wide Make A Difference Day, which is one of three nationally recognized Community Service days in America. The Lock Haven University Community Service organization along with the help of Kristi Godwin and Morgan Ganley. helped make this event possible within our local community. For the last five to six years, Make A Difference Day has been a tradition within Lock Haven. The city works hard to coordinate downtown trick-ortreating for the local youngsters. Students from Lock Haven University were responsible for an overwhelming amount of the planning for Saturday, including the preparation of games and activities, as well as ensuring that Triangle Park was reserved for the occasion. Children dressed in a wide array of characters including Snow White and Spiderman, eagerly took part in constructing crafts and playing games. Before the Halloween festivities, however, Lock Haven students did a lot in the way of helping the community. A downtown cleanup project was put into etfect. The volunteers covered a variety of locations that needed the extra attention including the main street of Lock Haven, several parking lots within the town, and lawn work for the local nursing mm . .. 1 Alzheimers which affects one in 10 individuals over the age of 65 and nearby half ofthose over 85.

Lock Haven students aided residents in cleaning any remaining damage that resulted from the destructive flood of several weeks ago. At least one of the resident's home was so devastated that it was condemned. Volunteers assisted in tearing down the destroyed home to make way for a new one. The support that this type of assistance provided to the residents was well worth the time. Overall, the day was an Margaret Herrickl Eagle Eye enormous success.

Maria Boileau, who works with the Lock Haven Revitalization Team, as well as Ann-Marie Turnage, the University Lock Haven Community Service director, believe that the day was an important demonstration to prove the impact that the students ofLock Haven University are capable of having on the community. A Lock Haven graduate and Ameri-Corps VISTA, Chris Connacher, was very satisfied with the student turn-out and the effect that the volunteers made on both the children and the people in need.

Billy Mills, to share his thoughts about his valuebased system of self-empowerment. Mills' value system is based upon the pursuit of dreams. This system has four virtues one must stand by: bravery, forti- tude, generosity, and wisdom. One must have the bravery and fortihide to reach deep inside their souls and gather wisdom. That wisdom will empower a person to be generous, which then empowers others. "Pursuit of dreams will heal you," said Mills. "If you believe in the virtues, you will one day become a warrior." Mills is a Native American who was born and raised on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota. In 1964, at the summer games in Tokyo, Japan, Mills won the gold medal in the 10,000-meter run. At that time, he set an Olympic record and until this day, is still the only American to win that race. When Mills was 9-yearsold, his father told him that Olympians were chosen by the gods. After losing his mother, who died from complications of diabetes and nicotine problems. Mills thought that maybe if he was an Olympian, he could see his mother. Three years later, Mills father also passed away, leaving him orphaned. "I thought ifI was chosen by the gods, 1 would get to see my mom again," said Mills. After high school. Mills earned an athletic scholarship to the University of Kansas for his involvement in distance running. He was an All-American ■l^i^lllllllll. dtex Hayes/Eagle Eye Thanks to everybody who helped make the LHU blood drive a success.

Mills was the only American to earn the honor of being an AllAmerican and was never given any recognition. That is when he learned about perceptions that people had about others. That lead him to contemplate suicide, but a strange voice told him, "Don't." "When I heard that voice. I opened my psychology book," said Mills. "I saw that critical thinking ofthe mind cannot tell the difference from reality or imagination, it is a fifty-fifty share." After graduation from the University ofKansas, Mills was commission as an officer in the United States Marine Corps. That enabled him to keep training to make the Olympic team. He made the team in two events: the marathon and the 10.000 meter run. The 10,000-meter run was one of the most physical races that Mills ever ran. By the third lap of the race, he was seconds from his best time for a threemile race, but the problem is that it was a 6.2 mile race. On the final lap. Mills closed his eyes and vision himself winning the race. He said to himself, "I can win. I can win." Mills did win with a new Olympic record time of 28:24.4. He pulled off a major sport upset and made history of being the first American to win the 10.000-meter run. Through his story. Mills hopes that he shares his value system with the youth of America and that it will influence them to perform at their highest abilities. "My father taught stories to teach lessons. Native American story telling teaches tradition and spirit, and this is what I thought how my idea should be told," said Mills.

Upon this foundation, one establishment has flourished and now has raked in over $200 billion in sales. The establishment I talk about is of course the giant corporation known as Wal-Mart. This single company has taken advantage of American society beyond al) comparison since its opening. During its lifespan, every American family in the lower 40 or 50 percent income tax bracket has no doubt visited Wal-Mart at least once. The trick to their prosperity? Wal-Mart more than any other company has brought the greatest and broadest variety of goods and services to its customers of a very exact demographic group, the same demo- graphic that makes up at least half the country and the results have been outstanding. In addition to the great amounts of revenue that this company has sucked out of the lower strata of American society, it has also brought some of the larger movements in consumerism in the country's recent history. Since its policy of family friendly atmosphere has required edited CDs be sold in the store with no exceptions, a huge wave of production in edited CDs has been the result. Similar effects have been the result in many high tag items such as electronics, in a company that strives on selling cheap products; Sony has been virtually kicked out in favor of low priced electronics imported from emerging super giants such as India and China. Although the company seems to have a firm grasp on America's lower social strata, the rest ofthe world seems ofan ever growing interest to the giant. Wal-Mart stores have embraced globalization by not only importing electronics around the world but also open- ing stores abroad. Wal-Mart has expanded to nine new countries since 1991 with amazing success bringing about not only a place for the lower strata to consume but also a place of employment. While by American standards Wal-Mart employment may be a waste of talent, in some of these foreign prospects, such as Argentina, it is one of the better jobs in town. It may also be cited by many as a destroyer of local culture, but its utility is being served and with benefits seen by the locals, Wal-mart has steam rolled throughout the world. Another company has joined effectively alongside Wal-mart in the American globalization movement and that giant's name is McDonalds. Its organization lies in its ability to produce large quantities of food at ;apid rates and the rest of the world has joined in its calling with slightly differentiated menus. Though McDonalds has spread some American influence I would be cautious to call the spread of the influence "McDonaldization" as many have coined the term. Where as McDonalds produc- tion form fits for certain societies (rice is used in Chinese areas), Wal-Mart's produce is so general it can be used anywhere such as electronics that are sold in the United States are the same as those sold in Taiwan. Inherently, we have a drive to defend longstanding cultures and try and preserve their ways. Though that is an alright idea to some extent, my purpose of writing this is to caution the suppression of progress because of a preconceived evil that it may contain. Wal-mart kills culture, but brings efficiency, and from that spawns prosperity. The so called "invasion" of American influence through all other cultures is a non-issue; only the happiness ofthe people is the final decider of good or evil.

Lindsay Johnson Co-editor in Chief So you voted. Or maybe you didn't. As I'm writing this, people all over the country are placing their votes, and the final decision is only hours away. But hopefully by the time this is published, a clear winner will have been decided and announced. So now what? This election has stirred an incredible amount of interest in tne college-student age group, and that's especially obvious here at Lock Haven University. It seems that you can't look anywhere on campus lately without seeing a button or sticker endorsing one candidate or the other (and those endorsements justkeep multiplying). The 2004 Presidential Election has been the focus ofmany heated discussions on campus, both in and out of class. Movies such as Fahrenheit 9/11 and Fahrenhype have been shown to educate and persuade voters. Voter registration drives were held at the beginning of October, and debates were hosted throughout the rest ofthe month. After this week, ail of the political excitement will most likely die down to a (very) dull roar on this campus. But it doesn't have to be that way. The election is over. But the issues that we considered when we voted are still there. New issues are coming up every day. This one tight, for possession of the most powerful title in America, has come to a close for four years. But so many other fights are stilt being fought every day, and they need your help just as much as this fight needed your input. Don't justsit on your dufffor another four years, when it's time to make a decision again. Find a way to continue making your voice heard. Here are just a few ways: -Choose a cause to get involved with. Whether it's abortion rights, the fight to find a cure for (insert disease here), gun control legislation, or homosexual rights, find some- thing you're passionate about and act on that passion. Even if getting passionate just means researching a cause and telling your friends how you feel about it, get out there and do it. -Volunteer for a government or non-profit organization. The Red Cross, YMCA, and homeless and women's shelters are just a few places where your time and talents can be used locally and greatly appreciated. -Write letters to the people in positions of power letting them know that you're aware of their presence and actions, that you like or don't like what they're doing, and what you think needs to be done. Or write letters to the editor of a local newspaper. By taking that route, you'll not only be letting politicians know how you feel, but you might also drum up some support for your purpose in writing the letter. -In addition to writing letters, create petitions and pass themaround to be signed. If you think that your one lonely voice won't be enough, make your voice louder. With all the political fights going on, important issues have been talked about to death, so to be different, here's a list of silly or non-important things that bother me. People walking just a little too slow in front ofyou. People sitting beside you on airplanes that it's a physical impossibility for them to smell pleasant. People that don't know who "Weird Al" Yankovic is. People that try to turn left on North Fairview Street leaving the college. People in the electronics section of Wal-Mart that have no idea what's going on. Good TV shows getting cancelled. Bad TV shows lasting forever. Jimmy Fallon never being able to keep a straight face during an SNL. skit. Video games that are considered good by how many hookers you can kill and how violent the game is. Comics that have to swear to be funny. Tofu. How good songs are being used in commercials, and every time 1 hear it all I can think about is Burger King or a stupid car. Parents that still allow their kids to spend the night at Michael Jackson's house. Girls in elementary schools dressing like they're working the street. Popup ads and Spam (not the congealed meat but the e-mail term.) In TV shows or movies when they switch a character's actor or actress with another one and expect the audience not to notice. People that use Internet talk. (Wut iz up wit dat? How r u?) Hillbillies. Pork barrel legislation. People who say because you like Michael Moore means you are anti-American. How the term "liberal" is considered a horrible quality. Anna Nicole -Get involved in local politics. Attend city council meetings or join sub-committees. -Don't forget about campus government. Become an SCC Senator. Attend SCC Senate Meetings as a spectator. (Psst...they meet tonight at 7:30 p.m. in PUB Meeting Room #2). There are so many ways for college students to have a say.

Pittsburgh) and are around the national average in terms of graduation rates (i.e., around 60 It's called the Doug Flutie effect. Heisman-winning quarterback Doug Flutie threw a 48-yard pass in November of 1984 to complete a huge win the Miami against Hurricanes, then led his Boston College Eagles on to a Cotton Bowl victory. The next year, BC had a huge surge in applications. That laid the groundwork for the idea that a great national sports program could increase the number and therefore quality of applicants for a university. Now, 20 years later, the National Collegiate Athletic Association has released a report on the graduation rates of scholarship athletes. The good news is that certain programs, like track and football, are doing very well The bad news is that men's basketball players are graduating at a rate of 44 percent. Especially distressing is the state ofblack male basketball players, who were graduating only about 38 percent of the time, a year ago. That racial disparity has lessened somewhat, in part because white male basketball players are graduating at 10-year lows. NCAA President Myles Brand doesn't know why, shockingly, but he does know that academic stanare increasing. dards Collegiate athletes are now required to have 60 percent of their degree requirements completed by their junior year, 80 percent by senior year, and can only participate as fifth-year athletes if they are completely done —— t with degree requirements. And the NCAA has promised more reports about the issue. The fact of the matter is that many student athletes in high-profile, high-budget pass may have been magical, but its legacy at this point seems as much exploitation as anything else. Last year, huge amounts of press were devoted to Connecticut center Emeka Okafor, who was not just an incredible player but an allaround brilliant man. As much as specimens like Okafor may not be the norm, there is no reason that universities like Pitt and UConn could not make it a little clearer to their scholarship athletes that an academic experience, if not academic excellence, is something to which they are entitled when they come here. For some accomplished players, sports will be their working life. But most will not have lucrative professional careers, and, so long as schools like Pitt are willing to invest in their talent, they might as well also programs like basketball come to places like Pitt with very little interest in being students, despite the advantages of free tuition and exceptional tutoring and academic support. And it's hard to blame them. Universities are often guilty of keeping their student athletes secluded, of sending the message that there is no viable career option aside from professional sports for someone on a basketball scholarship. Consequently, academics are seen as an NCAA hoop through which to jump, not an opportunity to get something to back up the incredibly remote chance of an NBA career.

With varieties of dance genres and with participants ranging in all levels, the group is truly diverse and works together to put on a great show. They performed at Campus Craze, the Homecoming pep rally, and basketball games and perform again this month.

Read about the women's finish on page B4. Brandy Rissmiller Sports Reporter Ryan Blood and Chris Cowan proved they are the top two runners in Pennsylvania, by placing first and second this weekend at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Championship. They also helped the men's cross country team win the team title, the second-straight for Lock Haven University. Lock Haven had seven runners in the top 16 and six of those received All-PSAC Team, a honor that is given to the top 15 finishers. Sophomore Blood ran the 8K course with a time of 25:36 and Cowan, a senior, was only 10 seconds behind him. In seventh was junior Bill Buckenmeyer with a time of 26:08. Joe Wiegner and Greg Davis were eighth and ninth. The senior and freshman ran the course with times of 26:12 and 26:13, respectively. Freshman Shawn Moore was the number six runner for Lock Haven, placing 14th with a time of 26:33. Chris Sophomore Robson placed 16th, in 26:37. "It feels really good being the runner that everybody is out to get. and I hope that it can stay that way for the rest of the season," stated Blood. Coach Aaron Russell was extremely proud of the team. "They continue to impress me with their composure and heart." Russell commented that not only did the top seven perform well, but four more men were also big contributors to the team. The teams are limited to racing nine athletes, so two alternates ran the course the night before. Freshman Zack Deitz and senior Jeff Skwierz both had times that would have placed them in the top 35 had they been able to race. The number eight runner for Lock Haven, Aaron Benson, would have been higher up in the standings, but he lost his shoe during the second mile. Benson, a sophomore, showed true commitment, running the remainder of the race, through mud and rough ground, with a bare foot. Benson finished 27th. Coach Russell emphasized that the men are a testament to learning from each race throughout the season and putting it all together when it counts. "Each one ofthese guys put the team above themselves, and were a true display as to what our team is about: toughness, tenacity and grit." Cowan was happy with the way the team performed under pressure at the PSAC's and he feels that winning the conference meet gave the runners a lot of confidence that they can take with them to the NCAA East Regional "I feel that we can win the NCAA Championships if we continue doing what we have been doing all year," said Cowan. The Regional Championships hold a 10K race, as opposed to the 8K races that the runners have been competing on all season. The team, however, has trained on it and Coach Russell thinks the men feel better about it now that they can develop a strategy in their minds. Blood feels the team is really strong and that they will have no problem repeating as East Region Champions. Both Blood and Cowan stated that they would love to win the individual East Regional Title, but Coach Russell says both the runners are class acts. "Rather than take a cut-throat approach at each other, they work together and push each other," said Russell. "They help each other through the rough spots in practice, as well as races, and it makes them both better athletes and competitors." The NCAA Division II East Region Championships will be held at Indiana University of Pennsylvania on Saturday. The third time didn't prove to be a charm against IUP, as the women's soccer team dropped their quarterfinal match of the PSAC playoffs against the Indians Tuesday at McCollum Field, 1-0.

Blood was the first Division II runner to come across the line in an elite field ofrunners. "I did not expect my season to be going this well, but I am happy with it," said Blood. After a freshman year that showed the affects of a runner making the transition to college competition, Blood has shown that he is here to stay. Blood graduated from East Pennsboro High School and was the indoor 3000 meter State Champion as a junior in 2002. He was also a four time state qualifier in cross country and track. "Ryan Blood was a household name for Pennsylvania high school running," said head men's and women's cross country coach Aaron Russell. Blood had a well known reputation before he even started his college career and everybody had their eyes on him, waiting to see what he did every race. Coach Russell feels those high expectations from outside sources influenced Ryan's personal expectations and he needed time to settle in. "He used last year to feel things out," said Russell. Coach Russell says it all goes back to his preparation. Blood was coached by his father, Rick Blood, in high school. "His dad was his coach and he is an amazing coach," said Russell. "Ryan and his dad have a great relationship and his dad never pushed him to do anything," added Russell. It's hard not to listen to your dad, especially when your dad is who he is. Rick Blood wasa two time All-PSAC Cross Country runner for Lock Haven in 1978 and 1979. The two ofthem have a great relationship and running brings them together.

B...And I'm out like the trash on a Thursday — It took 86 years, but for the fans of the Boston Red Sox it was well worth it. The Boston Red Sox capped off a seven game winning streak by sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals and earning their first world series title since 1918. The Curse of the Bambino is over and let the party begin in New England. Fans poured into the streets just like they did when the Sox finished off the Yankees in Game 7 of the ALCS. The remarkable thing about the Red Sox team is that no one individual is responsible for taking them all the way. Manny Ramirez received the MVP award for the playoffs but as skipper Terry Francona said "They could have given that award to anyone on our team." The 1860s are coming back as there is word of another civil war in the United States but this time it is only between two opposing sides of one state. Eastern and Western Pennsylvania will collide in the biggest game of the NFL season this weekend as the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles travel west to take on the one loss Pittsburgh Steelers who are coming off a 34-20 dismantling previously undefeated New England Patriots. Trash talk among fans has already begun here in Lock Haven with an equal representation of both EaglcsV and Steelers fans. While 1 have no interest in cither team, this game may possibly be a preview of what could be a Keystone State super bowl this year. Imagine what state Pennsylvania would be in then? Well see what happens after this game first. If you are able to survive this weekend, then you will be able to read my take on the game itself and the sights and sounds in Pittsburgh. It was a day of chaotic encounters this weekend in the state of Florida and no I am not talking about an election. For the first time since 1976, the Florida Gators, Florida State Seminoles, and the Miami Hurricanes all lost on the same day in college football. The Gators were beaten by a stellar Georgia dogs. On the other hand, Florida State and Miami were upset by Maryand North Carolina respectively. All votes in Florida were accounted for T and the results were the state of Florida 0 and everyone else 3. The battle between the states of Texas and Oklahoma highlight the college xrtball weekend as #7 Texas hosts #19 Oklahoma late while #2 Oklahoma travels to College Station to ike on #22 Texas A&M. This week's upsets are laryland over a heavy favorite # 13 Virginia team nd Purdue over the #20 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes. ...Love, peace, and hairgrease ' HUon Column. if you have something to say about^^^^^^^^^Ijjll^^^^^^^^^H & Sopp and your ' Every Tu e s day It s f Op en ISTiglxt Jason Dumm 8pm -?

Instead, she is an emerging artist who is gaining more fans and press by the day, especially after selling more than two million copies of her last CD. While we can lament the fact that it's taking this long for her to "make it" in the music world (or at least on the pop top 40), at least we can all go to bed securely at night knowing that she is making it, for if such a huge talent as Joss Stone had gone completely unrecognized, then 1 might finally have to give up all hope on modern music. On Joss Stone's second album, Mind, Body, & Soul, she sticks more or less with the same formula that made her first album. The Soul Sessions, a success ; namely, that of a 21st century British teen singing pre-disco era style soul with the panache and energy of someone dou- ble her 17 years. Hyperbole though it may be, 1 honestly believe she could sing whatever lyrics she found in a computer manual and make them more soulful and genuine than 90% of the music being made today. It wouldn't be going too far to say that she is the best new singer that has come across the music scene in a great many years. The main difference between this album and her previous one is that, on Mind. Body, & Soul. Joss Stone has seemingly developed some song-writing chops, co-writing 12 of the 14 tracks on the album. While some of these songs do get repetitive and trade in too much on their '70's heritage, there are enough good songs to make the album enjoyable and to expose Stone as a potentially emerging songwriter in addition to being a transcendent singer. Songs like the propulsive "You Had Me" and "Snakes and Ladders", mid-tempo songs like "Less is More" and the softer ballads like "Right To Be Wrong" and "Spoiled" are \\W mmmV P^MlWkB^^i' ' 1 ffl^K \ ¥flB Joss Stone demonstrates her talent and unique voice on her new album, "Mind, Body, & Sou!." all done the most exquisite justice by Ms. Stone's voice.. It may seem that I go on and on at great length about the glories of Ms. Stone, but it is only because a voice like hers can make a true believer of anyone: if she sang gospel music instead of soul, I have no doubt that she could probably convert nine out of 10 ions A/ailab atheists within a minute. A voice like that of Joss Stone doesn't come along often; to not savor it as much as possible could nearly be termed an eighth deadly sin. We'll have to wait a little while her song-writing chops catch up with her voice, but it's certainly worth the wait.

This is the third and last professional visiting artist gallery fcr the 2004 fall semester. Caldemeyer received his Bachelor of Arts degree in painting at the University of South Florida and his Master of Fine Arts degree in painting at Washington University. He currently is an associate professor and chair of the department of art at Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio. Caldemeyer's works confeist of two-dimensional paintings using encaustics, waxy paints that provide a thick texture to his works which he loves. His paintings are eyecatching because they are not framed in the average rectangular shape. Instead, they are separated into five pieces while still consisting of one whole. Caldemeyer said that the paintings are set up to show the interaction of opposites and to isolate different levels of his work while also showing their cohesiveness. He said the shape gives the sense of a journey as the viewers' eyes move around the piece. Caldemeyer also enjoys working with miniature sculpture and has brought a work entitled "The Big House" to the gallery in Sloan. The work is a miniature model of a home that can be peered into through windows and openings to see the intricate details of each room. Lights in the house work on a fader circuit so that only one or two rooms can be observed at a time before the viewer must move on to the next. This piece reflects Caldemeyer's interest in architecture. Throughout his works there is a consistency he uses of applying past artists' work into his own and making it something new. Caldemeyer said that he is always interested in how people classify information and why it is that educated people see artist's works and derive the same interpretation from them. "I owe a lot of debts as an artist to the artists who came before me," said Caldemeyer. "The big ideas have all been done. I'm not saying it's impossible to be original, but I think the field has narrowed to a certain extent." Caldemeyer has efficiently utilized all "the big ideas" of past artists to create his own vision of art. He said that something he always tells his classes is that "creativity is well-disguised theft." Caldemeyer's works will be on display in the John Sloan Fine Arts Building until November 26. R.

Cemetery Tour offered insight on past Timothy Lyter Staff Reporter A dark, creepy cemetery tour is ideal for a scare on a Halloween weekend, but the Highland Cemetery tour is a little different. The third annual Historic Lantern-Light tour of Highland Cemetery was held this past Halloween weekend. The tour featured brief descriptions of important people of Lock Haven's history who are buried in the cemetery. Some of the people mentioned were Levi Augustus Mackey, Lock Haven's first mayor, John Sloan, internationally renowned artist born in Lock Haven, and Philip M. Price who donated the land for the Highland Cemetery. Price also donated the land the university is built on. At the time. Lock Haven University was called Central State Mountain School. A donation of S5 was asked for before the start ofthe tour to benefit the cemetery's tombstone restoration project. Over the years, the cemetery sustained severe damage from the effects of weather and more recently three acts of vadalization have occurred. "In the past years, some irre- cuadorian native adjusts to life in Lock Haven Alejandra Aguilar Staff Reporter Juggling 15 credits, campus clubs, jobs, and sports may Maggie HerricklEagle Eye Tour guides of the Historic Lantern-Light tour lead the way through the Highland Cemetery, while they give descriptions of important people who are buried in the cemetery, such as Lock Haven's first mayor. placeable objects were vandalized," said genealogist Dave Wallace. Due to an irrevocable trust which allows for limited money to be used, the Woolrich Lions Club has sponsored the tour all three years and has taken care of the liability insurance which covers the tour in case someone was injured. "That's what is nice," said Wallace. "It enables us to have the tour." The tour began by word-ofmouth from a friend of Wallace, "A friend of mine heard about a tour like this in another city," he said. "It took about two years to figure out who we wanted to talk about." Concert Review Yellowcard and other punk bands rocked Penn State Daniella De Luca ., Craig's Brother, The Matches. The Starting Line and Yellowcard. J Yes, those are all punk band Jnames. and these are the bands ■that rocked the stage at Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center on Monday night. Tickets were sold out in the pit and seating area overlooking it. Since this was my first time in the seats at a concert scene and not on the floor, I got a much better look at the bands then I would have had, if I was down in the pit. It was definitely a more relaxed atmosphere in the seats which many of the bands referred to as the nose bleed section. They shouted things like "How you guys doin' there?" "We love you Penn State!" and also emphasized the importance of voting the next day to all the concert-goers. The Starting Line and Yellowcard, the two main bands that were more well-known in the pop-punk world, appeared to be the crowd favorites, especially since Yellowcard was the main title band. Judgingfrom all the people screaming/singing the lyrics along with the last two bands, it seems as if Craig's Brother and The Matches were not given enough respect. Maybe their music just needs to get more publicity before they can become as big as bands like Yellowcard. The Starting Line played two new songs, one of which out was "Driven By the Dollar Sign" in addition to several older ones like "Best of Me," and "Left Coast Envy." Although they played a lot slower in concert than on their CDs. most of the crowd still sang along with every word, and by this point in the concert, three-quarters of the way through, voices were fading fast. Voices, however, did not fade once Yellowcard took the stage. They played in their poppunk rock fashion and even a few acoustic songs as a bridge in the middle of the set. They played for about a full hour with an encore, and the wait was well worth it. Many of their songs were from their latest album. Ocean Avenue, like "Only One" but a few of their songs were their original EPs or singles such as "Powder," "For Pete's Sake," "Rocket," and "Way Away" to name a few. They had three different sets, one of which included the lyrics to some of their songs. There was also a very extravagant light show with all different color combinations and shapes such as stars, dots, and rotating saw blades. These were patterns that I would not have seen had 1 been on the floor. Seeing the bands from a different perspective was an interesting experience, and was a nice way to get a concert experience without being injured in a mosh pit. each course. Typical classrooms house over 100 students and most courses are taught as lectures with only rigorous note-taking involved. When you've completed all the course requirements for your major, a thesis is required to be evaluated by a group of professors in your department in order to receive a regular college degree. "Schooling in Ecuador is more serious, because the system wants to make sure you're well prepared for the world and work," Andrea said. Andrea says the schools do not offer campus events such as comedy nights, guest speakers, or bus trips to different cities and are very limited with financial aid resources that many lower-class students depend on. At Lock Haven, Andrea has been able to enjoy Broadway trips to New York, weekend adventures to Philadelphia. Homecoming events, and many other activities that have invited her to experience a slice ofAmerican college culture. Andrea hopes to stay in the United States after graduation and jump start her career as a linguist. She is grateful for having the opportunity to enjoy an education among a diverse student body and a chance to explore the country. Although every country has a different school system, some more demanding than others, studying abroad is a wonderful chance to explore different cultures and traditions, discover a range of perspectives about the world, and invest in a "self-learning" experience that can teach each person about his or her role in the seem stressful enough, but did you ever wonder what it's like in another country? For Andrea Terneus, this "circus act" at LHU is a piece of cake. A native of Ambato. Ecuador, Andrea has been studying Spanish and German at the Haven for three years through the international studies program. Living in Ecuador until she was 16. Andrea and her family moved to Barcelona, Spain about two years ago. After learning Catalan in two weeks, a difficult Spanish dialect, and graduating high school with good grades and extracurricular activities such as basketball, soccer, and martial arts, Andrea was granted a full scholarship to study in the United States. But with breathtaking sites such as the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador and all the culturally enriched artwork at the Musco de Prado in Spain, why would she decide to ride the college wave here? "Getting an education and then a career in another country, especially in Ecuador, is very difficult because you find yourself buried in homework and nothing else." explains Andrea. Unlike Lock Haven, most universities in Ecuador do not offer clubs and other activities to enjoy, residence halls, or student transportation such as the shuttle bus. For Ecuadorian college students, a typical school day would start at 8:30 a.m. and run to 1:30 p.m. For more information Students must take the bus into about studying abroad, you can the city to get lunch for their visit the International Studies break and then ride it back into Institute Raub or check out in campus for another set of flyers the bulletin boards along classes and then take the bus or your in residence halls.
