"Also, remember to dress professionally." Students are also encour- aged to speak with as many employers as possible and not to limit themselves geographically. Following up with employers and companies that students are interested in is also a good idea. Riley also emphasizes that students should bring plenty of resumes, pens and pencils to the event. "You may go to the fair with only a few resumes, then find out that there are more employers that you are interested in. It's better to be safe than sorry." "I'm planning on going," said Justin Sipe, a junior computer science major. "I'm looking for an internship, and I'm excited to get my name out there." After looking at the list of employers on the Career Services website, Sipe realized a lot of employers from his hometown would be attending the fair. Career Services is located in Akeley Hall and can assist with any questions or concerns about the job fair. Campus, community lack religious support for Muslims Sarah Wojcik News Editor In order to practice Islam devoutly, Youness Mountaki would have to visit a mosque five times daily to pray to Allah and every Friday he would have to attend a ceremony, much like a Christian service, in a mosque. But since he accepted his Fulbright scholarship to study in America. Mountaki has not been able to practice his religion as completely as he was normally accustomed. But Mountaki was not sur- "I thought it would be difficult to practice my religion here. I thought that there would not be many mosques," Mountaki explained. The closest sanctuary for the Muslim graduate student is in State College, a far cry from the close proximity of mosques at his home in Morocco. Last semester, Mountaki was able to make the trek each Friday at noon in order to attend thc weekly ceremony, but classes this semester have prevented him from Though Islam has about 5.8 million followers in the United States as of 2001, according to the "World Almanac and Book of Facts 2001", it still remains a rather stigmatized religion where Muslims may have a hard time finding a place of worship. While it may be no surprise that a small town like Lock Haven does not house a mosque, it may surprise some students that there is no place for Muslims to gather for worship on campus. Mountaki admits that he is one of very few Muslims that he knows on campus, but would still like a place where he could go to discuss his spirituality and religion with II * BP' J ' ■ '■' JSPJPJPJPJPJPAfKii: ■ m\\\m ■ ■■. i % Mwfi-' I JH Youness Mountaki, left, displays traditional Muslim attire for the holy month of Ramadan, in which Muslims fast for the month. A celebratory dinner was hosted by the Institute for International Studies. Courtesy of LHU Faculty and staff, including President Keith Miller, far right, dined on traditional food from the Muslim world at the Ramadan dinner that was hosted during last fall semester. "We could talk, for example, about the sermons," Mountaki said, "or about having no mosques in the area. We could talk about issues related to the Muslim world." Despite the lack of social interaction available for people specifically seeking a Muslim group of peers, Mountaki says he has little trouble practicing the religion on his own. "Wherever you are, you can pray," he remarked, describing his how he often prays in his home in order to make up for not being able to attend ceremonies. But there would be nothing quite like a group of some kind diminish the stereotypes and prejudices surrounding Islam, according to Mountaki. "People think that Islam is a religion of war," he said, adding, "I want them to know everything all the teachings." If students were aware of the real goals and tenants of Mountaki religion, the believes that many prejudices would disappear. Media coverage of Muslims has become more favorable, in Mountaki's opinion, but basic preconceptions still exist. A support group grounded Islam would also aid in in keeping Muslim students and even professors strong in their to - faith, especially during times of sacrifice. Fasting during Ramadan, the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, can be a challenging feat, but it's even harder in a country where no one else seems to be observing the holy abstention. "This was the first time that I fasted outside of my country," Mountaki said. No matter how outnumbered he may be, Mountaki plans to educate as many as he can about his religion in hopes of changing perceptions and biases and bringing more diversity to the religions at LHU. _ JLIJTX ; Jn-JS :^at|BB*»SK TRAVEL/EMPLOYMENT i FOR RENT OPPORTUNITIES S CAMPOS EVENTS The first Don't miss out! organizational Spring Break 2007 is approaching and STS is offering specials to this year's hottest destinations!

After a solid first round, Stratton seemed to tire as the fight wore on, missing Clayton D. Desmond Boxing Writer A large and enthusiastic crowd of nearly 3,000 filled Thomas Fieldhouse to witness the LHU Boxing Bald Eagles win nine of eleven bouts on the 14-bout main card, Saturday. In the evenings opening bout on the main card, LHU freshman Kate Hill, 115 lbs., opened the show with a solid 3-0 decision over Mansfield's Erica Martin in the female division. This was Hill's second win over the aggressive Martin this season. The 132 lb. junior Andy Pizarro, with a 10-1 record, looked especially sharp in decisioning Navy's David Miller. Over the past two seasons, the popular Bethlehem Liberty grad has won eight in a row. Chris Collins, 170 lbs., scored the evening's lone 'K.O' when he stopped VMI's Dave Feltes at 1:52 of the third round. The powerful Collins crushed his opponent with a constant series of body punches forcing the referee, Chad Forry, to stop the bout in the final seconds. Also winning, and remaining undefeated, was Haven freshman Nate Van Tassel, bringing his record to 3-0. With Van Tassel's fraternity. Alpha Chi Rho out in full force to lend their support for their fellow brother, he scored a unanimous 3-0 decision over Army's Dave Brown.

The women's basketball team (11-14, 4-7 PSAC West) unfortunately, know this too well as they lost their final road games of the season. Women's Basketball Last Thursday, the Lady Eagles traveled to Clarion University (8-16. 3-7 PSAC West). The game was originally set for Wednesday, but due to the massive snow storm that hit the state, the game was pushed back the game a day. However, an extra day to prepare didn't help as LHU lost 57-46. Despite the loss. The Haven had some strong performances. Senior, Ginger Williams, was the lone player from Lock Haven to score double digit points as she put up 11 points, as well as two blocks and seven rebounds. Sophomore, Ilia Lopez, scored nine points and had a team high eight rebounds. She was dominant at the free throw line as she made 7-8 tries. Freshman, Kristen Kudrick, scored eight points and seven rebounds. Hoping torebound from the loss LHU made their last trip of the semester to Edinboro University (13-12, 5-5 PSAC West). Some ofthe seniors on the team wanted to make a statement on their final road game leaving it all on the court and giving some standout performances. Senior, Candace Sillers, had a team high 13 points and recorded three assists as well. Senior, Elizabeth Gabrielle, scored 11 point while Senior Ginger Williams did well The seniors weren't the only ones who performed well, however.

Duke and North Carolina have dominated the conference from its inception in 1954, combining to win or share 40 of the 53 regular season championships. In addition, the Blue Devils or Tar Heels have won nine of the last 10 ACC Tournament titles. At this time last year, Duke was 12-0 and had a three-game lead on the rest of the pack. This season was expected to be more of the same, with UNC and Duke picked to finish 1-2 during the preseason. But with two weeks remaining in the conference season, the ACC is as open as ever. North Four teams Carolina, Virginia, Boston College and Virginia Tech all stand within one game of first place at the top of the standings. Although the presence of the Tar Heels at the top of the standings comes as no surprise, few thought they would have as much company. "From top to bottom, the league is as strong as I've — — it," North ever known Carolina head coach Roy Williams said. "There's some teams that are struggling, yet you better be ready to play when you play them. The addition of the other schools in the league has made the grind longer. The imbalanced schedule really puts a greater sense of urgency on some games." North Carolina played two of those recently added schools in the past week ~ losing at home to Virginia Tech and winning at Boston College. The split was symbolic ofanother chaotic week at the top of the ACC. After stunning UNC to complete a sweep of the Tar Heels, the Hokies were routed at N.C. State Sunday. "If you're in a good league, you're going to play good teams," Virginia Tech head coach Seth Greenberg said. "You're going to have good wins, you're going to have tough losses. As disappointed as I am [after the N.C. State loss], I've also got to be human and understand that our team right now should feel good about what they've accomplished to this point in the season. A lot of teams in our league would like to be 8-4." The Hokies will try to leapfrog 9-4 Boston College in the standings to move into third place when they host the Eagles on Wednesday night. Boston College is coming off back-to-back home losses to Duke and North Carolina that dropped it from the top spot in the standings. "College athletics has proven that there's going to be some parity — 1 think we've proven that this year in this league," Eagles' head coach Al Skinner said. "We're all trying to achieve the same goal, and our guys are working real hard to do it." The biggest surprise at the top is Virginia, picked eighth at the start of the season. The Cavaliers entered the season with all the focus on their new arena instead oftheir old guards. But junior Sean Singletary and senior J.R. Reynolds have shot Virginia into a first-place tie with UNC. "To finish at the top really an accomplishment is because you have so many difficult games and you're doing it over a couple of months," Cavaliers' head coach Dave Leitao said. "Particularly in this league because it's always belonged to traditionally one of two teams. We're in a unique position to take a shot at it." With the top four teams earning byes in the ACC Tournament, the quartet at the top of the standings feels comfortable heading into the hard homestretch. 21, 2007 .com Win against St. Joe's could spark strong finish for Temple Owls have shown they can for the Owls.

For those obscure artists represented on smaller labels, with limited public relations and advertising, this can be a blessing.

That's where other means of exposure can help. Not only are the television programs playing these contemporary songs week after week, was Boucher a gifted vocalist and elaborate lyricist, but she was also an unbelievably exceptional musician. Soon after engulfing myself in her music I stumbled upon her website one day and found that Boucher played every instrument recorded on the album's tracks and that she had been playing a variety of instruments since the age of Personally, I've taken advantage of such features, because I don't know how many times I've heard a song during a show and have never been able to track it down, which tends to get frustrating. This past week on "Grey's Anatomy" 1 had one of those moments. During the opening and final scenes of the episode there was a familiar female voice singing under the dialogue and action taking place. 1 knew that it had to be Boucher, an Butterfly Australian singer/songwriter,. Fler accent comes through even in her singing, making her vocals very distinctive and hard to confuse with any other but they are further promoting the artists by adding supplements to the shows' webpage.

"A Bitter Song," has since scrambled a good amount of buzz in favor of Boucher's asyet-to-be-released album, tentatively titled, "Scary Fragile."

Wearing layers allows you to remove clothing as needed to prevent overheating. Be sure to wear loose-fitting cotton fabrics next to your skin. Also, wear gloves. Protecting your hands from cold air and low humidity present in winter months is a huge advantage when fighting against flareups of dry skin. Make sure the gloves you wear, however, will not irritate your skin while also keeping hands warm and dry. I personally hate feeling overheated when the weather is freezing. I have two very comfortable fleece pullovers, but whenever I wear one of them under my winter jacket, I end up regretting it. Try to wear shirts that allow for space between your skin and the fabric. Also, chenile gloves are very warm and soft, while allowing enough air through at the same time so your hands can breathe. 5. Shed wet clothes and shoes immediately.
