See A2 Wednesday, November 10, 2004 Volume 60 Issue 10 Cell phones being highly taxed LHU could become a "laptop university" Scott Kulah Staff Reporter '^ ^J^ | | ^ Alex Hayesl Eagle Eye It seems the future of Lock Haven may bring major advancements in technology. Lock Haven University is currently considering a program that potentially could put laptops in the hands of every student. The idea first hit the drawing board after being presented to President Dr. Keith Miller at a recent conference. After some research. Miller found it fit neatly into the technology initiative included in Lock Haven's strategic plan. According to Interim Provost Dr. Zakir Hossain. "He found a perfect match." The Student Technology Enhancement Program (STEP) is being designed to help students develop technological skills and better prepare them for employment, according Lock Haven University Director of Public Relations Scott Eldridge. "One of the biggest things to is help our students develop a comfort level with technology by the time they reach the job market," he said. "What better place to develop a comfort level ...than an educational environment, where you have an opportunity to grow intellectually as well as with computer skills." "We're in a technological age where it isn't a luxury to learn computer skills, it's a necessity," he added. "Technology knowledge is extremely crucial for employment," Hossain agreed. "If word gets out that Lock Haven is a lap-top university, it gives a different flavor to our graduates." The program is currently being reviewed by a 10-person "task-force," consisting of both members of the faculty and the student body. The task-force is divided into three teams: one researching the technological benefits of the plan, another exploring the possibilities of how the program could be used as a teaching and learning tool, and the last exploring the program's financial implications.

Senator Robert Wonderling of the 24th district is currently working to push Senate Bill 1156 through legislature in order to put a stop to the onerous tax. Simultaneously, Representative Kelly Lewis is also working on getting a bill (House Bill 2454) passed to end the tax. The movement for repeal is a bipartisan one that is fueled by those who want to see economic development increase within the state. Such is said to be impossible as long as the gross-receipt tax is still in existence. .u- See "Cell Phone Tax" A3 V-Vi^^^^^H Maggy Hemckl Eagle Eye The of future LHU students could be using laptops like sophomore Stephanie Folmer. Students react to re-election of President Bush Lisa kiwak Staff Reporter More than 21 million 18- to 30-year-olds voted in the 2004 Presidential Election, according to CBS News. This was the highest number in more than a decade, with 52 percent of eligible voters in this age bracket voting, compared to only 42 percent in the 2000 election. In key battleground states like Ohio and Florida, one in every five voters was under the age of 30. according to CBS. "I think so many people our age voted because we were real- ly affected by 9/11," said senior Ryan Thayer. "Now that we have experienced that, and had relatives affected by that, it makes us want to be more involved." Other students credited the amount ofpeople our age voting to the exposure this election received.

Students that do pay their own bills were especially offended. "That's why I work," said freshman Taylor Gary, "to pay all ofmy bills. I think it's ridiculous that they are taking from me more money than they need." The fact that these students were never aware of this double tax and that there seems to be no clear reason as to why it was put into effect adds to the sting. Stackhouse, Kimberly another freshman, was alarmed to learn of the surplus made on the 5% tax. "It [the money] should be coming back to me if it's not going anywhere." There is one thing that Senator Corman wanted Lock Haven students to know. All of us can make a difference in regard to this tax. Lock Haven student Jared Loss, once informed, was very enthusiastic about finding a way to protest the bill. "I'd. definitely like to know more about this," he told me. The men and women in Congress that want to see the wireless tax bill repealed can always use the help of the public. A website was designed to inform consumers ofthe cellular tax, and give everyone the opportunity to voice their opinion to their local representative. Senator Corman encourages all students and concerned persons to do just that.

November 12, 2004. This is a biannual event where students spend one night in Triangle Park to raise funds and awareness for Horizon House, Lock Haven's homeless shelter. MountainServe would like to recruit interested individuals and organizations to participate in the event. for Sleep-Out Homelessness is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, November 12, and last until 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 13. During that time, participants will solicit donations from individuals as they drive or pass by. Participants will have the option to work two-hour shifts or to stay all night and sleep out in boxes. MountainServe is asking any student opting to stay for the entire event to find sponsors who will pay a set dollar amount for each hour that the student stays at Triangle Park. A3 e.com Students decide on spring performance choices Daniella DeLuca Staff Editor Ihe Black Eyed Peas and Maroon 5 are the top two possible bands for the annual spring concert. These results are according to the polls taken at lunchtime by the HAC concert committee as reported at Wednesday's SCC meeting. Since it is a preliminary survey, however, it is not known for sure which band or musical artist on the list will be available for a performance in the late spring semester. Students are given the choice this year whether or not they would prefer a concert or a stand-up comedian. Voters can choose up to five bands or comedians ranking them on a scale of one to five in order of importance with one being the most desired. The majority of those polled so far have chosen a genre under the rock concert umbrella, rock and roll, punk, or alternative. There is no guarantee though, that the band or comedian who gets the most votes will be the one to stage their show in Thomas Field House in the spring. Ballots are tallied as they are received, and a list is generated according to Senator Dominick DiSalvo. Then, the performers are called and invited to play at LHU. Deciding factors as to whether they will play or not include where they are currently in their tour, how much money they are asking for to perform, and whether or not they would like to come to a university setting versus some other well-known venue. Senator Delphonzo Sellers suggested more of a variety of bauds for more diversity on campus such as an R&B. hiphop >r rap group. Stating that the students need more options, he also suggested an alternate idea of having six or seven up-andcoming groups or artists instead ofjust one main one. Director of Student Activities, Jodi Smith said, 'There is a lot of variety in music interest out there. We're ' — —„, f—-—,—, (For instance, if a sponsor agrees to pay $ 1 for every hour that the student remains in the park, then the student can raise up to $16 by being at the entire not directing it toward any specific group of listeners, and who we get in concert also has to be what the committee can afford." President Rick Harvey added to it by saying. "Musical tastes change from one year to the next.

"This isn't playtime," Gay said to members of the Religious Life Liaison group in an intimate setting Monday night. "This is a serious reconstruction period when you learn about yourself." The liaisons work with the college houses and the Office of the Chaplain to develop an interfaith and ecumenical religious presence and create a greater sense of religious community campuswide. But Gay who is also an instructor at the School of Social Work has noticed that students at Penn these days appear to be in a "race for life." "I don't feel like the student is center anymore," she said. "It feels like a corporation." Gay's response is rooted in her beliefs. "Spirituality is first," she said. "You can fall back on it: it holds you up." "I prefer 'spirituality,'" Gay added as she addressed the members. "It's a lot broader: people don't necessarily identify with 'religious.'" Gay was brought in by the Office of the Chaplain to relate how her role and experiences on campus encompass her decisions and values. "I've found that if you're spiritual, you take risks, venture out," Gay said. "Students sometimes don't even realize they're searching for spirituality; they just want to be grounded." ■__ ———————————B'''' Bl ______________________ ; _i ____i_i __i H ■__■ _______________________________________■__________________■ _____ _fl ___________■ IB _____________H_____H.J______HB___________i_J ___■■■ — - /\/ex Hayes/ Eagle Eye Pool trick shot pro Tom Rossman, better known as "Dr. Cue", entertained audience members in the pool room of the PUB on Tuesday evening.

With Daylight Savings Time messing up everyone's mental alarm clocks, by the time 4 p.m. rolls around, it feels like it should be bedtime. Despite the darkness closing in at early hours and the cold weather lurking just around the corner, students, well most of them anyway, continue their treks to class with a purpose. Some arrive a few minutes late just to catch their proper amount of "z's." Others prefer to sleep in, rather than study. What has most college students hitting the pillows instead • of the books are massive amounts of stress and pressure from classes, work, family and other social issues. All these things, however, arc part of life, and all must be balanced in order to achieve a healthy lifestyle. You can't let these things overwhelm you. Don't think that the only way to deal u with these issues is sleeping. I You'll only start yourself on a vicious cycle every morning of falling asleep, hitting the snooze button on your alarm clock once it sounds and rolling over. Sleep is one of the most THjE common ways in which people cope with stress or negative affects on their lives. It's easy to get stuck in a rut or a habit of irregular sleeping patterns while in college. For example, scheduling all afternoon classes might not be the best idea unless you can motivate yourself to get up at a reasonable hour prior to the classes that you are taking to review notes or complete any assignments that you might not have finished the night before. Staying up late, as obvious as it might sound, also contributes to the number of" those who tend to snore in class. If it's cramming for a test the night before (never a good idea) or playing videogames until 3:00 a.m., know when to start winding down for the evening. Try to get at least eight hours of sleep just for your body's sake. When you're awake, you'll learn more. And. the more you know, the better job you will get later on. Scary, isn't it? Often, I've heard people say that there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything that needs to be done. This is where you must budget your time. What's more important here: being well-rested to begin your day or running on empty to the point of exhaustion? Go to sleep an hour earlier than you difference will be remarkable. Justremember to set your alarm and get up at the time you designate for yourself. It's a little thing called motivation, and we all should invest in it. For some sleep-deprived students, they have to work more than one job in addition to school in order to earn money to pay for tuition, books, pay back student loans, unexpected accidents, insurance or just to cover costs of day-to-day living. Everyone is in a different financial situation and has different ways of managing their schedules. It is up to the individual as to how to budget it in the most beneficial way. In the real world, there are deadlines without extensions. If you arc late to your job or miss a meeting because you overslept, you can't always redeem yourself, and may ultimately lose everything you worked for in college; that is to say if you ever worked in the first place. For some people, it's hard to adjust to the college lifestyle with parents not constantly around telling them what to do and what not to do. A certain freedom is granted, and if abused, they must suffer the consequences, mainly failing classes and possibly not graduating on time or at all. Students who fail tend to get normally would, and sec how discouraged and with good reayou feel the next morning. The son.

We see it on the news all the time, economists speaking to the general public about concepts they likely don't fully comprehend, and usually it is responded to with general skepticism. This problem is. from my understanding, most detrimental in the event that people seem to lose faith in the government when economists report on an event that they can't really see the implications of. I've been in many discussions in which people have asked me things like, "is there really a recovery in America now?" or, "if there really is a recovery why is there not an instant rush to hire by companies in my area?" This results in people questioning the policies undergone by the government and the Federal Reserve System, so I've decided to put forth this article in an effort to if not close some ofthe gaps, then simply to confuse people more. One ofthe many reasons for the inability of the public to see the recovery is that many of these effects in the economy are in some way hidden to the poor. For one example, when Bush Maggie Swartz Cheryl Wilbur Circulation Manager Tim Pratt Brandie Kessler Joe Melber Guest Columnist Advertising Kim Hill Ed Slavinsky Mike Porcenaluk Lisa Schropp Staff Reporters Alejandra Aguilar Marissa Brunner Brendon Costello Lisa Kiwak Kim Kniffen Scott Kulah Steph LaSota Timothy Lyter Cynthia Martinez Kristina Pestridge Edward Savoy Corrine Smith THE EAGLE EYE, THE OFFICIALSTUDENT NEWSPAPER OF LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY, IS PUBLISHED WEEKLY IN ACCORDANCE' WITH THE UNIVERSITY CALENDAR.

Recovery brings public skepticism EAfilE sirs Parsons Union Building Lock Haven University Lock Haven, PA 17745 do well though, in school and life. I know a professor who has an interesting motto on failure. He says it is not an option, and it is only one if you make it that way. "You have to use your resources. Don't just sit there and cry," he said on one of the first day of classes. If we all take this attitude towards whatever it is we are passionate about, then maybe we will begin to have a more positive outlook on life. We can't just sit there, or rather lay there. We have to do what is best for ourselves and decide what will make us happy before helping others do the same. So, instead of grumbling and throwing the covers over your face when the sun peeks through your bedroom window or that obnoxious alarm clock sounds off. think before you hit the snooze button what you arc doing to your future. Online Poll ; r ; Eagle Eye issued tax cuts in 2001, everyone that I know became skeptical when reasoning, if the economy is bad, they should give us money so that we can buy the goods the economy has to offer. While this is a valid argument when looking at an event like deflation (the lowering of prices) in order to raise prices back to a reasonable level, it will in a recovery effort most likely make things worse; the tax cuts were made in order to put money, in the hands of people who invest and thus pump cash back into business sector expansion. This rationale befuddles many lower income persons who would rather ration that rich people have enough money already, a rational argument, but one made out of philosophical reasoning rather than proven economic measures. Another reason for the recovery being so hard to see, as it is with all recoveries, is continuing inflationary pressures. When a recovery in an economy begins, prices still remain rising, so arguments like,"if there's a recovery, gas prices shouldn't increase," doesn't really hold. These inflationary pressures give the impression to many that the economy is not reaching recovery, since many have a delusion that the economy only has to do withjobsand prices; to these people, however, I assure the price of cheese curls will continue to rise with or without a recovery. Inflation is a natural and generally constant state for an economy and no matter how much a recovery pushes us to job creation, we will continue to see inflation, and quite often even more so than when the economy is in recession, depending on other economic events. On the subject of job creation, it seems to me that most focus on the state of the economy is spent looking at the nature of the employment rate. To dispel this misconception, in common language, a recovery deals with the increase in total economic activity, this can or cannot affect jobs depending on what occurs. While during recoveries, jobs are generally gained back as a business need to employ people due to the rise in demand for goods (usually spurred on by the lowering of taxes or government spending) it is not the only result of a recovery and other facets of the economy may change disproportionately to the creation of jobs. After the attacks of 9/11, 1.7 million jobs were gained back due to a massive recovery, but most likely a more important result of this recovery is the amount of investment into businesses that was poured into the market after the attacks, this resulted in more machines for businesses and production becoming less labor intensive in addition to hedging against a prolonged recession. On this wave length, the health of an economy is not only based on jobs but also capital good (that machinery just mentioned), and increases in technology. With these changes in factors of production being predominate, the low wage earners have a difficult time seeing recoveries as they do not partake in shifts in capital or technology nearly as much as the privileged few. Hopefully anyone who has actually read this article will finish with some sort of appreciation for the work done by economists and realize that they aren't just there to cover up shortcomings of the government. There is total agreement amongst the specialists in the field in respect to the state ofthe economy. Our economy is still in a recovery and will likely continue with or without visible assurance to those lower income workers who are still skeptical.

Light up. Breathe in. Puff out. No, make that "butt out." About four million people die worldwide each year from smoking. One in three cancerrelated deaths is attributed to smoking. The Great American Smokeout, organized by the American Cancer Society (ACS), is an annual effort to cut down on the number of people who could eventually become part ofthese statistics. This year's Great American Smokeout is November 18, and you're invited to participate. The idea for the day is quite simple: quit smoking for 24 hours. With any luck, that 24-hour-period is only a start to the rest of your smoke-free life. And even if you don't quit forever starting with that one day. maybe that one day will help you quit someday. Think of it as a way to test your strength and will to be healthy. Maybe you don't smoke, and you think that this day doesn't mean much to you. If you're like most non-smokers, though, you can sympathize with me on this. Don't you hate walking out of a building here on campus and finding someone puffing away on a cigarette on the other side of the door? I mean, it's one thing to kill yourself slowly, but please don't take me down with you. 1 know that being But come on. do you have to stand right outside that door so that I'm forced to walk through your smoke and risk breathing it in? Or, if that's not reason enough for ail you non-smokers to get involved, I bet you any amount of money that you know someone who does smoke. Do you really want to see them die prematurely, possibly experiencing a lot of pain for a long time before they finally lose the fight? So if you smoke, quit for a day. If you don't smoke, help someone who does. Offer encouragement, support and rewards. Bug them till they can't stand it anymore. Make a game plan together. According to the ACS's website, "those who plan a quit attempt in (of the advance Great American Smokeout) double the odds of staying quit forever." And if you need more motivation (either to quit yourself, or to help a friend or loved one): -Smokers typically die 1012 years younger than nonsmokers.

"Weird Al" Yankovic is a comedy singer who is best known for parodying popular songs. Recently I heard two guys talking about "Weird Al" and the one guy said, "Oh he just plays silly music. He's not a real musician," and it occurred to me that maybe a lot of people felt this way. You would think that with eight Platinum records, 16 Gold records, and 11 albums released that "Weird Al" Yankovic would not be considered a novelty act. "Weird Al" deserves to be called a successful musician but he gets less respect than new bands that get a one hit song and are called "geniuses" until they dwindle away into obscurity two weeks later. Al has been in the business for over 20 years. Novelty acts don't last 20 years. In 1983, he released his first album and 10 studio albums, a boxed set, 24 music videos, and three Grammy Awards. Nine Grammy Nominations later, this man is still going strong. He has appeared in his own television specials for MTV, Showtime, and the Disney Channel, and also appeared on almost 200 other television shows. He had his own network series ("The Weird Al Show"), and a profile on "Behind the Music" that was ranked one of the most popular installments in the history of the series. In 1989 Al wrote and starred in his cult classic movie "UHF" and in 2002 it was released on DVD on the Top Ten best-seller list. He is talented in many other areas. He not only produces his own albums, but he directs his own videos and even other artists' videos. That's right. the Billboard Top 200 where it Other artists have specifically stayed for 56 weeks and sold requested Al to be their director. nearly 2 million copies.

They are in a Division I and create excellent competition. No experience is necessary for to join and the girls learn to cooperate and work together and win without the assistance of a coach. Brandie Kessler Staff Editor 0 this past Sunday. The LHU women's rugby club may be one of the most physically demanding clubs on campus, but it can also be one of the most rewarding if you are willing to put in the effort. The club was founded in 1993 and there are currently 34 members on the team. They compete in the Eastern Penn Rugby Union, and finished their fall season 3rd in the EPRU. after defeating Millersville University, 34- Finishing in one of the top three spots in the EPRU qualifies the squad to travel to Virginia in the spring, where they will compete in the Mid Atlantic Rugby Football Union, or MARFU. Their season kicks off on the first weekend of school when they play in their annual alumni game. They practice Monday thru Friday. Saturdays are game days, and the team is split into an A side, which is considered the varsity team, and a B side. Each side plays their own game. The team holds practices as well as their games across the river at the West Branch Fields. They are led by two co-captains, Alicia Garber and Megan O'Hare, and an executive board. Because they are essentially led by one another, and not a coach, the team is a strong unit, "It is hard because we don't have one individual who is in charge, but it brings us closer together too because we are all in charge of what we do," said club president Tanya Curtis. The team is always looking for new members and anyone can play, no experience required. "Usually at the beginning of a semester we teach the new players the basics of the game," said team co-captain Garber. "I had no idea of what rugby was before I came here and learned." "Even after we teach them how to play they still won't really know how to play until after their first game, when they get to experience it," said Curtis. The only thing the team asks is that those who come out to play are looking to play a contact sport that is physically challenging just like any other contact sport is. "It is a rough game, but you learn the proper technique so that you have less of a chance of getting hurt," Garber said. "I love that it is challenging mentally and physically," Curtis said. "I've never played a game that's as intense as rugby." The team can also boast that they are a division I rugby club, and that they are the only team this season to score against the undefeated Princeton squad. "I love that we are a Division I team, and a lot of teams are scared of us because we got here on our own," Garber said. Playing women's rugby here at LHU has more to offer than a few bumps and bruises. The team offers the chance to make a lot of new friends, and to be active in the community. In the past the team has done community service projects such as park clean-ups, working with the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and recently they helped with the Flood Relief Project at the Playhouse and put in a few hours to help set up a Halloween party for grades K-6 at the Renovo Youth Center. The Halloween party was coordinated by squad member Rebecca Atwell, and was a success. "It was a great opportunity for the club to do something good and get involved to help the children who came to have a fun Halloween," Atwell said. Although the team's fall season is over they will be competing in the spring and welcome anyone who is interesting in the game to come out and play. You can also talk to anyone wearing rugby gear for more information as well. LHU Sara McMann has been named Special Assistant to the President at Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania.

With their win, the Bald Eagles earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Division II The Bald Eagles entered the championship game ranked No. 15 and with a 13-4-3 overall record. Playing on their home field, the men dominated both offensively and defensively, determined to win the title that they have worked so hard for all season. "We deserved the win on Saturday and we played really well." said Ashley Rosindale. who was named the PSAC Outstanding Player ofthe Game. "We scored two great goals and never looked like conceding." Senior midfielder Joe Leap was the first to score against the Golden Rams when he shot offa pass from Rosindale during the first half. The Haven struck again in the second half when Rosindale, who was assisted by midfielder Chris Spinks. fired one past West Chester's keeper. The Golden Rams tried to strike back against the Bald Eagles, but were unable to break through the Haven's strong defensive line. Freshman keeper Chad Feerrar made three saves to record his fifth shutout ofthe season. "It's great to get the Lock Haven soccer program back where it should be after we haven't won the PSAC championship for eight years," said Rosindale. "We are on our way to regionals now, so let's see how far we can go."

Lock Haven had six runners place in the top sixteen. Senior Chris Cowan was the highest finisher for Lock Haven, placing second with a time of 31:46. Sophomore Ryan Blood finished right behind Cowan with a time of 32:02, placing him third. Cowan was happy with the time that he ran on the course because of its difficulty, but was not pleased with finishing second. Coach Aaron Russell believes that on a different day Cowan or Blood would have given Ryan Coon of Edinboro a run for the title, but said each day is a new race. Coach Russell called junior Billy Buckenmeyer's race "the best I've ever seen from him." Buckenmeyer was sixth and ran the race in 32:32. JoeWiegner, a senior, caught a lot of runners in the last half mile and had a time of 32:48, which placed him in tenth. Greg Davis and Shawn Moore, who are both rookies, had times of 32:58 and 33:01, which placed them 15 and 16, respectively. "For two freshmen to go under the pressure that has been placed on this team is something I never could have imagined," stated Coach Russell, calling them "composed." Sophomore Chris Robson had a time of 33:40, placing him 28. Coach Russell thinks that Robson ran a tremendous race, despite having a rough first mile. "I'm proud of Chris and the way he's really put it together here at the end of the season," said Coach Russell. Blood. Buckenmeyer, Cowan, Davis and Wiegner were all rewarded with all-region honors, a honor given to the runners in the top 15. With the exception of injuries, the same seven runners will be competing at the National upcoming Championships. "The ultimate goal for me personally is to be in the top 15 overall. Team wise, I believe that we can place in the top 8 and if everyone runs their best we might even be able to surprise a few people and finish in the top five," said Cowan of his goals. A top eight finish for the team would earn their region an additional bid to next year's championship.

"We gave a really good team effort this season." Lock Haven over powered CalU from the beginning, starting in the first set with a seven-point run. Lillian Bortoto brought points early with kills and with the score at 15-12, it was constant back and forth movement of play that resulted in the point for the Eagles when the Vulcans sailed the ball out of bounds. The end of the set was nothing but kills from Li. Bortoto and Michelle Deehan as well as an ace from Allison Furry for the match point. The second set started off in comparison to the first with a six-point run for Lock Haven. and Inga Kurgonaite Allison Wade stepped up with kills and added points while Kelly Kostelich was consistent in putting together 30 assists.

Nelson as Mr. Incredible/Bob said, what's wrong with it? isn't much that is exactly Parr, Oscar winning actress There wrong with The Incredibles so 1 - John Fogerty Deja vu All Over Again much as there are things that may be slightly less than right. For one, too often the movie shifts its focus away from its plot and characters in favor of action sequences that, while visually captivating like the rest of the movie, were, on the whole, unnecessary. Additionally, I found the interludes that included Edna Mode, the costume designer to the superheroes (who knew they had their own?) largely annoying, inane, and often incomprehensible. Even with its flaws, The Incredibles is a movie that is deserving of monetary investment; namely, yours. While it is unfair of me to judge the film against such high, past standards, when you've seen such standards attained and passed by the same people in the past, you can't help a little bit of disappointment. However, that doesn't mean you can't swallow the disappointment and watch for the great things that are at work in The Incredibles. Courtesy ofjohnfogerty.com At Vietnam's height, John with Credence Fogerty, Revival, railed Clearwater against that endless war and raged "it ain't me, it ain't me, 1 ain't no fortunate son," a song that I'm sure that George W. Bush knew quite well and that sticks in his conscience still, if there's any justice in this world. A little more than 30 years later, all that Fogerty can say is that even though we can all "stop to read the writing on the wall," it's still like "deja vu all over again." That statement, at the same time, is trenchant, resigned, and horribly depressing. The only (and 1 do mean the only) thing about such deja vu is that, in John Fogerty, it produces music worth remembering again. The title track of Deja Vu All Over Again is the only with political overtones and though it is the most relevant of the collection of songs on the album, it is not even close to being the only good one. The entire album is filled with memorable songs that have a timeless quality, like the best of John Fogerty and Credence Clearwater Revival ourvre. John Fogerty's voice seems to have gotten a little softer and higher with age; while he doesn't have the same visceral, bluesy growl that allowed him to rip through "Fortunate Son" and "Traveling Band" with such driven vengeance, his voice has matured into an instrument that allows him to express the many emotions ofhis music. The songs on Deja Vu... are largely good natured, reflective, and mellow songs; while Fogerty hasn't lost his ability to "rock out." he doesn't choose to Instead, he do so as often. croons sweet and rustic songs like "Sugar Sugar (In My Life)," "Rhubarb Pie." and "Honey Do," songs with themes more appropriate to middle aged adults than teenagers, something that I think Fogerty implicitly acknowledges. When he chooses to turn on the electricity however, he's still as good as anyone in the game, particularly with "She's Got Baggage"; if you didn't know better, you would think that Fogerty was doing a cover version of something by the Ramones. Fogerty may believe that our warring minds are still stuck in Vietnam, but, fortunately, Fogerty's muse didn't get lost in that time period. Deja Vu All Over Again is easily one of the best new albums I've listened to this year and, if it isn't up for some Grammy awards come Grammy season, then I give up on the music industry entirely. The album may be appropriate for adults, but it should be mandatory for everyone else, flor it is not often that you get; a songwriter like Fogerty relaxing and spinning his gifts for everyone's benefit like this.

Brendon Costello Staff Reporter Blithe Spirit, the most recent performance presented by the Lock Haven University Players, carries the precise mood its title suggests along with a few additional pleasant surprises. Since its debut Thursday night, the three-act play written by Noel Coward and directed by Stephen E. Haynes and performed entirely by university students has been the topic of conversation across campus. The chatter is well-deserved too. Blithe Spirit comically accounts the supernatural experiences of Charles Condomine (Dennis Berfield) and his friends and family as he attempts to cope with the manifestation of his deceased wife, Elvira Condomine (Annie Hudak). "I thought it was hilarious," said junior Jess Stokes, 20. "I'm always amazed at how much talent is in the university." The audience will laugh out loud while Berfield grapples with sanity as the ghost of his late wife makes every attempt to create chaos in their 1939 home in Kent, England. Chris Grouzes adds further comedy to the farce by donning colorful drag for the part of Madame Arcati, the psychic hired by Mr. Condomine and his second wife to contact Elvira. University Players members work hard every day ofthe week in order to perfect every aspect oftheir performance. "I put in about forty-four hours in a week," said Berfield regarding his time dedication in preparation for the show. Others, such as Hudak, spend about twenty-eight hours per week and admit that their lives would be miserable without theatre. "I love being on stage and working in the scene shop," said Hudak. "I get a great sense of pride with I see it all come together in the end" Blithe Spirit's players take pride in their hard work and take it very seriously. Laura Butler, who plays Ruth Condomine, the second wife of Charles Condomine, confesses that her love of theatre sterns from the gratification ofthe completion. "The endproduct is so amazing," said Butler. "It's worth the migraines." Butler, as Ruth Condomine, participates in the seance led by Madame Arcati to contact the spirit of Elvira and becomes agitated by Elvira's persistent postmortem heckling. Berfield attributes his passion for performance to acting's therapeutic benefits. "Theatre has always been an outlet for me," he said. "1 have been a part ofit since the sixth grade." The University Players will present the last of six performances of "Blithe Spirit" on the Main Stage of The Sloan Fine Arts Center Nov. 11 through the 13 at 8 p.m. Admission is free to students with a valid I.D. card. The chilly night breeze and the cold drizzling rain was complimented by the blues music of The Clayton Miller Blues Band, who performed for a small crowd of Lock Haven students and faculty inside Price Auditorium last Thursday. The hour-long concert featured the band's blues-style of music influenced from rock 'n' roll and blue artists such as Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and B.B. King. The band opened the show with a cover of a Bob Dylan song before performing songs from their latest album, "Gotta Have Love." Some of the songs performed were, "Set Me Free," "Low Down Dirty Blues," and the title song from the album, "Gotta Have Love." This Lafayette, Ind. based family band consists of three brothers and their bass playing father, Larry. The 21-year-old Clayton is the oldest brother. He plays lead guitar and sings lead vocals. Cole, 18, sings backup vocals and is the drummer.

Magic show played with students' minds Nicole Pinto For The Eagle Eye Jim Karol and his associates entertained Lock Haven students with their Mind, Magic, and Madness Show last Wednesday, sponsered by HAC and SCC. Audience participation was a big part of the show. Jim Karol started the show out with two volunteers and the host Mike in handcuffs. Jim told the audience that one of his Guinness Book of World Records is for the fastest escape from handcuffs. Jim also stated that he had seven records total and has been on the Rosie O'Donnell Show. He said he made a lot of money in his line of work and held up the wallets of the two boys who had been on stage. The audience was laughing as the boys ran up to get their wallets back. Even when the one got his wallet back. Jim showed him he had taken the money out, which caused the crowd to laugh even more. He has another Guinness record of throwing cards two hundred feet. He picked Josh, Jed, and Randy from the audience to participate in his next trick. He made Josh be Spok from Star Trek with a big deck of cards, picking one. Jed's job was to be Uranusm and hold a balloon, which made the audience snicker. Randy was to hold two cantalopes in front of her to represent a warship. The audience was really roaring by now. The three were to work together and put the ripped card in the balloon by beaming it. It didn't work out until Jim suggested it could be in a melon. Jim faked the audience out by letting Randy hold one melon above an audience member's head while he said he would throw the knife at it. He then brought the melon back on stage and cut it in half and inside was the card. Jim tricked many people during his show. He also pretended to let an audience member cut the microphone cord and put it back together. But, while trying to put it back together, he pretended to be electrocuted with a spark button. The audience, shocked, learned it was a wireless microphone the whole time. After this excitement, the audience was introduced to Mike Dubois and Chris Chelko from Penn State who joined Jim's show. The two have appeared on Jay Leno's Tonight Show. Chris made a thin balloon go through his mouth and nose at the same time. Not only that, he would squeeze the air from one side to the other. Chris even had an audience volunteer rip up the Eagle Eye, which he put back together. They would also guess anyone's birthday, underwear color, countries they would think of, stars, and so on. They even did a lie detector - year-old L.D., who plays the harmonica. L.D. impressed trjg: crowd with his harmonica wailing and vocals. Between songs, L.D, did little dances and quirky one-liners to get the crowd into the concert. "I thought college kids were freaky. I'm 11 years old and I'm freaky," he said. L.D. is no stranger to the stage. He has already gained national recognition from his performance last year on the NBC show, "The Search for the Most Talented Kid." In April of this year, the barjd played on the WB show, "The Steve Harvey Show," standing ovation from the crowd. The youngest Miller brother made such a great impression; he was invited to play on Stevie Wonder's Christmas special, which will air later this year. "I am not scared on stage, but in the cafeteria I am," said L.D. For the remaining weeks of November and December, the band will be touring and performing for colleges in Florida and Iowa before ending the year by playing on the Stevie Wonder Christmas Show, Dec. 18. and family relationships.
