The debate consisted of everything from astrophysics to psychologist Karl Marx. Taylor Goss, a student at LHU, said she is on the fence about what she believes in. "Although I believe in a 'higher being,' professors both had good points and it was interesting to hear opposing views." "I thought it was well put together.

On average in a year, the city of Lock Haven receives 38.8 inches of snow. Snow starts are early as November and can end as late as April. If I remember correctly, we had a day full of snow squalls in early April of last Spring. You would think that as administrators of a school located in the middle of Central Pennsylvania they would know how to prepare for classes during snow storms. However, in the past month, I have learned that indeed they do not. About three weeks Haven ago, Lock received a day of nonstop snow which covered every inch of campus. There were campus employees working around the clock to try and clean up said snow, however their efforts were futile because it was too much to handle. There is a point of inclement weather when it is too much to ward off and classes should be canceled. This was one of those times, and we still had classes. Fast forward to last week, snow was yet again impending and talk of no school was brewing. This time the school board jumped the gun just a tad and canceled not one, but two days of class. Were they both needed? Not at all. This leaves the higher-ups with quite a predicament. When class is canceled, it needs to be made up, which is why snow days are a rarity in college save for extreme cases. Now, the administrators have come up with a solution to the problem. We are to have class on two Saturdays in April to cover the ones we missed. I hope as fellow hard working students you can all shore my outrage at this idea. All week we go to class, we listen to lecture, we take notes. Our weekends are our time, not the university's. Why are we to be the punished for school's poor choices and ill planning? It is their job to strategize for like things inclement weather. Snow days should be built into the end of the school year so this kind of thing doesn't happen. Not only did the school board fail on when to give us the snow days, but it also failed on dealing with the repercussions of their own actions. Holding make-up classes on Saturdays is a bigger inconvenience than coming to school in the snow would have been. Plans for trips home need to be canceled, work schedules need to be changed and 50% COOPERATIVE COUNCIL AND IS PRINTED BY THE LOCK HAVEN EXPRESS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE WILLIAMSPORT SUN-GAZETTE. come in. these Also, classes are not mandatory. They are optional by professor choice. This means that a student who lives a half hour or more away, not only needs to wake up for class on a Saturday, but might only travel onto campus for one class on a day where they normally would have three. When it comes down to it, we live where it snows, and when it snows it snows in excess. We are being punished for actions we did not take hand in. The school board failed at doing what they are supposed to do: plan for the benefit of the students. We should not have to give up our time because of weather that should be for. We planned should not have to trade our Saturdays for snow days. How doyou feel about the two Saturdays this semester that LHU has designated to make up snow days? 1 THE EAGLE EYE, THE OFFICIAL STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY, IS PUBLISHED WEEKLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UNIVERSITY CALENDAR.

Erb has the all- time innings pitched record with 1,240.2 innings, which is more than Eileen Morse (1991-94), Jen Geary (1993-96) and Sandy Hess (1987-89) combined! Those three, which ruled the mound for The Haven from the late 1980's to 1996 onand-off, combined for just 1,220.1 innings. Erb also struck out 1,388 batters, the alltime record for Lock Haven. Again, that's more than Hess, Shona Guevara (2004-05), Jeanette Middlestead (2005-06), Morse and Molly Shuey (2002-05) all combined, which total 1,285 strikeouts. Of the five teams in the NPF league, the Philadelphia Force are coming off an 11-28 record, the worst in the conference. The league's other teams are the USSSA Rockford Pride, Thunder, Akron Racers and the Chicago Bandits. Chicago took the best overall record in the 2009 season with a 2712 record.

Internship Spotlight: Rachel Mazza | The Express Danielle Burkhart Guest Writer What started out as just another high school activity turned into a paid internship for a Lock Haven University student. Rachel Mazza, freshman and dual major in Communication Media and Criminal Justice, began working with the Lock Haven Express her senior year of high school as an editor for the school paper. As graduation neared, the editor of the Lock Haven Express asked Mazza if she would be willing to work as an intern during the summer. Interning as a reporter and editor, Mazza spent between 15 and 20 hours per week at the Express, where she focused on writing human interest and business features. Mazza's day would begin by finishing stories from the previous day, finish any interviews that she had not completed, write up the story, and start the process all over again with a new story. Mazza would also help her supervisor, Lana Muthler, with any announcements, birth announcements, and birthday wishes to go into the paper. As an intern, Mazza had the opportunity to work with newspaper Mazza's layouts. responsibilities included the Ross Library layout and the layout for the Central Mountain Middle school's Junior Journal, but she also got to work on the layout for the Express as well. During her internship, Mazza was truly touched when she was in charge of a story regarding the death of a classmate. Having to interview friends and family of the student, Mazza described the situation as difficult and emotional. "The student's cheerleading coach said, 'What you have now might not be what you have in five minutes.' This was a very emotional and strong statement," said Mazza. According to Mazza, her experience was what she had expected, and more. In fact, she even suggests that it helped her "come out of her shell." "I am more outgoing; it was a great opportunity and fun to be there with such unique people," said Mazza. Mazza contributes a lot of her success and growth to the stories that she covered. She was assigned to interview people in the Lock Haven area who are 100 years old. "They all had cool stories from their lives, We took nice pictures had a nice write up for them which made a good birthday present, I interviewed many people from "street-car times." To talk to someone like that who's been a part of history is really cool," said Mazza Mazza says that this internship has helped her to keep her options open for now, but her true passion is fiction/novel writing. "I just want to do the things that I am interested in for now and go from there until I get something going. Journalism is the backbone for that plan." said Mazza. Mazza feels that her internship helped her during some of her journalism classes that she is now taking at Lock Haven University. "Writing for the Express was easier than learning to write stylistically. News Reporting is helping me with picking out the importance of a story. Writing for a newspaper has its own distinctive style and is not like writing a paper for English class," said Mazza Mazza advises anyone who is interested in interning to go for it.

After behind the scenes at "Project Runway" directly after leaving Lock Haven, he spent two weeks testing out the challenges that the celebrities were going to do to make sure that the producers got an idea how their episode was going to run, before being employed on the actual show for the filming. He says, "I got to do things that I never imagined or thought that I would have the opportunity to do and it was such an amazing experience." After appearing on "Celebrity Apprentice," Lock Haven University's Facebook page advertised the video clip and Blankenfeld started receiving countless votes of confidence from his peers and friends and even former professors. He says, "It was great seeing myself on TV, but it was a little surreal to see myself interacting with the celebrities. I mean, to actually be on set that day was an experience, but to see myself on TV knowing that millions of people nationwide watched the episode is a feeling no one can begin to imagine.

Celestia, as it grew, had homes, stores, and a school. It had a newspaper, the Day Star of Zion. In the center of town stood a temple, which was planned as a home for Jesus when he arrived. (As Celestia is mostly forest now, it would be a good idea for Jesus to bring a tent along.) The of people Celestia believed that Jesus was coming back, and that they would be the first to go to Heaven. As the Civil War progressed, Armstrong petitioned to have the citizens of Celestia exempt from the draft, by reason of their religious beliefs. After getting away with that, he tried an even bolder move: He attempted to avoid taxes by having the land deeded to God. In June, 1864, Armstrong signed the entire town of Celestia over to God. And quit paying taxes. The deed Guest writer curator@clinton- countyhistory.com What do the Heisey Museum, the Red Cross, the paper industry, and Jesus all have in common? There's no punchline. And it's not a trick question. It all began in 1850, with a man from Sullivan County named Peter Armstrong, who founded a town called Celestia. Armstrong, a goodlooking bearded man with a wife and children, was a peddler from Philadelphia. He was also a follower of William Miller, who founded a religious sect that believed that Jesus Christ was returning on Oct. 22, 1844. When Jesus failed to arrive, most of Miller's followers left, referring to the day as the "Great Disappointment."
