I also find myself wondering exactly how long it is going to take to find a suitable job. I am confident that the work I have put in over the past three and a half years has given me a strong skill set and that I have the ability to be successful in any future endeavor. I recently began the somewhat exhausting process of applying for jobs, figuring that the earlier I get started, the better chance I have of finding a good fit before it's too late. However, I am already beginning to become discouraged. I have friends who graduated last year and were able to find good jobs rather quickly, which boosted my confidence somewhat. But I also have friends who have had a rather tough time, and have either had to settle for a job that is not ideal or have decided to continue their education. The simple fact is that the job market is just plain baq§P '"SS^J It's easy to see why there jobs than job-seekers. With more and more people deciding to go to college, there is a significantly larger pool of people with the qualifications for what many would consider the better jobs. This obviously presents a problem. If you arc the government, it's not a good idea to have your citizens sitting around at home instead of working. This is where eco- nomic policy comes in. The government tries to boost the job market so that more jobs are available for more people. This is called job creation, and it's one of the major metrics for measuring the state of the economy. If you recall, one of the major reasons that President Bush gave for his 2003 tax cuts was that the cuts would help create jobs. Specifically, the president promised that the bill would create an additional 510,000 jobs by the end of 2003. These jobs are in addition to the jobs that would nat- Personally, I do not think that the Bush administration has been beneficial to our country.

Something doesn't seem right. Although the economy in general has been recovering steadily over the past two quarters, this recovery has not shown up in the area that college graduates are most concerned with: jobs. So, what's the point? Well, in case you haven't noticed (and judging by the statistics from 2000, you haven't), it's an election year. Historically, young men and women have had the poorest turnout among voters. Consequently, politicians basically ignore our demographic when campaigning and focus more on issues that are important to older citizens, such as social security and prescription drug benefits. And you can hardly blame them. Why put all the energy into marketing the youth bracket if they aren't going to vote anyway? improve things domestically. But I'm getting away from my main point. I'm not trying to get into a debate about our policies, administration's although I would welcome an intelligent forum on the issue. What I am trying to do is to encourage everyone to vote. Most of you will be here in Lock Haven on election- day, so you will need to file for an absentee ballot. If you do vote, don't just arbitrarily select a candidate based on party affiliation, do some research. Instead of watching American Idol or Survivor All-Stars, watch a debate or news program. Find out where the candidates stand on the issues, and make your choice accordingly. And even more important: hold the winner to his or her promis- es.

Drop them off at the Eagle Eye office in the PUB or e-mail to Dave Barry Dave Barry Knight Ridder _ DES MOINES, Iowa Sen. John Edwards, whose campaign has been officially declared by the media to be in Surge Mode, surged into town and held a real nice event. That's Edwards' campaign theme: He's the nice one. He's NOT negative! He's NOT meanspirited! He points this out constantly. "I'm not going to go around calling names," he says, "unlike the lying, scum-sucking toads running against me." (He doesn't say that last part out loud, but the message is clear.) Edwards is surging in Iowa because (a) we in the media are severely bored with the other candidates, and (b) Iowans are big on nice. This is a very polite state. Fewer acts of rudeness are committed in Iowa in an entire year than during a single morning in any given New York City subway car. Iowans are also extremely friendly. You stop to ask for directions at a convenience store, and you wind up getting invited to a wedding. As the groom! That's how nice Iowans arc. So they've responded to John Edwards and his positive message of how much better he is than all the other slimeballs. The Edwards rally was held in a hotel ballroom. When Edwards came out, the PA system blared the song "I Was Born in a Small Town", to convey the message that Edwards was born in a small town, which he apparently views as an achievement. Then Edwards, who is boy- ishly handsome and looks kind of like a doctor on a TV soap opera (a nice doctor), gave a nice speech about all the positive things he would do as president, including healthcare for everybody, college for everybody, the elimination of the budget deficit, and, of course, the utterly merciless rooting out and stomping upon of all special interests. Actually, ALL the Democratic candidates are going to do these things, but Edwards will do them in a nice way. After the Edwards event, I drove about an hour northeast to a motel in the town of Marshalltown to witness an entirely different type of event. This was a union rally for Dick Gephardt, and it was, by far, the manliest campaign event I have ever seen. It was attended predominantly by manly union men, big men, any given one of whom was the size of three Howard Dean supporters combined. These men warmed up for the rally in the motel bar, drink- ing, smoking, laughing and shouting in a manly fashion. Then everybody went outside, where a PA system, cranked up to 11, blasted out "Mandy," by Barry Manilow. No, really, it blasted "Takin' Care of Business" while a parade of huge and studly Teamster tractor-trailers rumbled up, horns blaring, each one stopping to discharge a union official until the last one discharged: Dick. He gave a violent grin and a manly thumbs-up, then everybody went inside to listen to speeches that were not nearly as conciliatory as the ones at the Edwards rally. For example, Teamsters President James P. Hoffa said (really): "Dick Gephardt's gonna kick their ass!" And he was talking about the other Democrats. The speakers' statements regarding the president were even less positive. At one point, the crowd chanted "SEND BUSH TO MARS!" Dick gave a fired-up speech about how he was going to fight for the working man, provide jobs and health care for everybody, obliterate the special interests, etc. The men cheered like crazy and promised to go to the caucuses and urge people to support Dick. To any Iowans reading this, my advice is: Do whatever these men say. Reminders... Eagle Eye personals and letters are due Wednesday at 5 p.m. Anonymous letters to the editor are not accepted Oncle Alberts LHUeagIeye.com January 21, 2004 Page 5 The Sunday Drive Nick Malawskey News Editor - The "Sunday Drive" an American tradition, much like baseball and mom's apple pie, that has (much like baseball and mom's apple pie), fallen by the way side of a fast paced American society in which, perhaps, we just can't find the time for that leisurely cruise through areas unknown. But what is the "Sunday Drive?" On Oct. 1, 1908, a man named Henry Ford revolutionized American society and completely changed every person on the planet's life forever. This one man created something that had the effect ofputting the brakes on the planet and causing it to stop spinning. It was earth shattering, it was stupendous, it was mind boggling, it was an affordable car. The 1909 Model T Ford, the first production model, could be purchased for a price of $825. Between 1908 and 1927, over 15 million Model T's were built. In the early 1920's, half of all cars on the road worldwide were Model T's. So what does this have to do with "The Sunday Drive?" The Model T Ford made the car accessible to the everyman, which directly allowed the "Sunday Drive" to occur. On any given Sunday (after church, of course), Dad would pile Mom and the kids into the of Model T and together they would go out for a leisurely cruise and perhaps a picnic (complete with the red checkered table cloth). It didn't matter to them where they went; just the fact that they were going somewhere was enough to get the family out the door and into the car. Over the years, the car got bigger and faster, but the "Sunday Drive" remained the same: after church, pile in the kids, get out a road map, and drive off to find adventure. Like many former staples of American, the advent of television began the decline of the "Sunday Drive." No longer did we have to go somewhere to see something new; we could turn on our TV's and have something new presented to us. Today, the "Sunday Drive" is a tradition passed down from car enthusiast to car enthusiast, a few die-hards who don't care what car you drive or what it looks like. The important question is "do you drive it?" Men and women, for whom the car's dents and dings are badges of courage and signs of character, see little point in washing the car weekly - "it's only going to get dirty again this weekend anyway." The "Sunday Drive" is not about neon lights, wings, air scoops, and how low you sit; it's about the open road, the wind tossing your hair, a tricky down hill corkscrew that catches you off guard alter the crest of a hill. After living in this area for three and a half years, I can say with safety that anyone who loves to drive should never be bored here. Therefore, in the coming issues, this column will attempt to explore some of the uncharted roads of North Central Pennsylvania, looking for those elusive S turns and serpentine roads that have no traffic and are just waiting to be driven. To that extent, each week I will publish a different drive that I have discovered, whether it be a scenic trip that no student should graduate without first seeing, or merely a side cut that allows a driver to bypass some of the more well worn roads in the area. If nothing else, the next time you or your friends are whining about being bored, you can pull out an issue and go for a cruise, waste a couple of hours, and perhaps see something that will justify the five dollars you just spent on gas. What more could a person ask for? Finding cash for college is child's play. Nick's Column, Sunday Drive, will be a weekly feature in the Opinion Section Insights and Outbursts Register now and search thousands of scholarships worth over $3 billion The age-old question: Does procrastination help or hinder? Lindsay Johnson Co-Editor in Chief Not only does procrastination help, but it's quickly becoming a preferred method of motivation. It's generally becoming more acceptable as a way of getting things done. Sure, there are still some who are against it, who don't know how to use it, and who refuse to believe in the positive power of procrastination. But then, there's the rest of us. Procrastination ranks right up there with Cliffs Notes and those cool cheat sheets they sell in the bookstore. At first glance, it seems like exactly the wrong way to go about studying or learning like you're missing out - Mike Porcenaluk Co-Editor in Chief Ah, the art of procrastination. Procrastination is a balancing act, a fight between good and evil, right and wrong. By procrastinating correctly and finding this balance, an adept student can fend off bad grades and at the same time enjoy the perks of a satisfying social life. Don't get me wrong, I do believe that procrastination is a bad habit. The act of putting off doing something, either out of habitual carelessness or laziness, or needlessly postponing or delaying it, is not something anyone should get used to doing. Effective time management, however, is a positive thing. I guess that I rarely procrastinate, per say, because I am always working on something. It just isn't what I am probably supposed to be doing. I spread my work out into increments oftime between the slots of time used for other things such as eating, on some great moral aspect of the learning process. But, after checking into it, maybe trying it out a bit, you realize that it really has its merit and can actually help you out in the long run. For people like me, getting motivated is a problem. When you know you've got plenty of time to work on something, it's really hard to just sit down and do it. However, if you procrastinate and wait till much closer to when it's due, you suddenly find all that missing motivation in the fact that you've only got "x" of time left to do it, so you'd better get to it. For example, take this column that Mike and I are writing. We came up with this idea, to write about procrastination, during finals week of last semester. amount I can't really speak for Mike, but all during the winter break, I just couldn't force myself to sit down and write this column. I knew I had weeks to work on it, so the motivation just wasn't there. Now, only hours before deadline, I know exactly what to write, and I'm definitely feeling the pressure to get it done. Basically, my point is that procrastination can be an asset to your study habits, as long as you use it wisely (such as only procrastinating on as many things as you can handle at once). If you have any questions or need any help with procrastinating wisely, I'm definitely willing to lend a hand. Just don't wait till the last minute to ask. something called "last minute sleeping, and recreating. I use my time sitting with panic." I will have done all of my friends playing Tony Hawk my research, and have an idea of and Need for Speed as quality how I want to put a paper time to observe social trendsand together, but I just can't seem to sociology. The same goes for focus on actually writing the staying up late watching music thing. So I rely on this burst of videos or Adult Swim; I use creative genius that hits me just these activities to make myself in time to quickly type somemore aware of what the rest of thing up, print it out and turn it the world is doing.

I cannot do this as a form of productiveness. all the time, of course, because It is in this manner that I can that would make me the lazy effectively procrastinate. I manage my time by always thinking, American status quo, and I really don't want to be a bad cliche.

I say that the movie "seems" to want this because while the plot appears to lead to this conclusion, the underdeveloped characteri/.ation conies right of a rote sitcom. Stiller's character seems only mildly reserved and cautious while Aniston's character appears somewhat flaky, but not nearly flaky enough to accomplish the movie's aim of contrasting these two radically different characters. Because of the lousy character development, Mr. Stiller's and Mrs. Aniston's characters seem as radically different as provolone and mozzarella cheese. While the movie subjects Stiller to uncomfortably spicy food, lascivious salsa dancing, and uncomfortable boat rides with a new potential client, the film avoids the characters that might actually have matte this movie interesting. Phillip Seymour Hoffman's turn as an ex-child star who's a slob of his former self and Alec Baldwin's role as Suiter's boss arc the only characters who make "Along Came Polly" appear like something more than a wearily extended episode of Mrs. Aniston's "Friends " That the best laughs in the movie came from the supporting cast rather than the leads doesn't speak too well for the film as a whole. "Along Came Polly" is neither a wretched movie nor a laugh-less movie. It's the cinematic equivalent of a Snickers bar; a mildly tasty snack, but not one that is even vaguely supposed to be confused with a real meal.
