Ill Qnnm/ OUnny - Volume 63 Issue 11 Attention Students: » Shifts in parking locations for next semester, as decided by the LHU parking committee, have become the inevitable byproduct ofthe incoming Alumni Center. The projected site for the Alumni Center is within the parking lot (reserved for those with purple decals, primarily faculty) in front of the tennis courts and beside the old boiler plant. In order to make way for the construction, three ofthe 10 tennis courts will be eradicated and the lot used by faculty will have to be relocated. Thc popular "purple" lot will be moved to a location behind Zimmerli Gym; a lot which was originally reserved for commuters. Commuters will be asked to use a new lot adjacent to their former one. It stands in the place of thc intramural sports field and is newly expanded and paved. Douglas Wion. a member of the parking committee, admits that commuters may lose some of their spaces in that area, but assures that they will be accommodated elsewhere. "There are more spaces on the whole for students next year," Wion announced. Jack Stadium is usually able to hold a great deal of students that need a place to park, and developments are underway to have a "'shuttle running include runs to the stadium" according to Wion. The new spot for the "purple" lot should not cause too EAGLE EYE much a stir among faculty, Wion predicts, since the faculty was required to park there in the past. The fee for receiving a decal for the faculty "purple" lot is expected to stay the same, at S30 a space. Rick Lilla, another member of the parking committee, surmised that the university will keep the rates near their current price, since the "purple" spaces are typically filled quickly. Lilla also predicts that some faculty may take their chances in buying "gold" decals, with locations all over campus, since the walk from the new lot may not provide such a bargain as before. These decals are also considerably less expensive, at $5 a space, though spots arc not guaranteed as they are with "purple" lots. In the end. will these changes cause more of a burden for the parking situation on campus? Not really, says Wion. Though parking may seem tighter in some places, compromises are underway to open lots for student access elsewhere on campus. Ultimately though, faculty and students will be getting more ofa work-out. "A lot of folks will be walking somewhat farther." Wion noted, adding optimistically thai exercise is certainly a good thing. The LHU professor joined the parking committee over a decade ago. as a "disgruntled parker" himself.

Gas prices jump at the pumps across country Emily Carey Staff Reporter Right now, the average national price for a gallon of gas is $2.83 and experts are predicting thc situation will only get worse. Last week, thc price of crude oil. which is instrumental in the production of gasoline, reached a record high of $72 per gallon. That cost directly contributes to the rise in price at the pumps. According to an April 11 article on MSNBC.com, gas prices have risen 15 percent in the past six weeks. The U.S. Information Energy Administration predicts that a gallon of gas will average $2.62 this summer during the peak driving season. Thc increasing cost of gas is causing some consumes to resort to drastic measures. Some sell their cars, some are forced to shut off their phone or other utilities and others choose to steal. Gas stations lost approximately S237 million in 2004 due to people driving off without paying. High gas prices also have some students readjusting, and even canceling, their summer vacation plans. "If gas prices get much worse, I won't be able to afford to go anywhere this summer." said senior Kimberly Brendle. "I'm also afraid that the price of gas might prevent some of my family members from coming to graduation," she said. The average national price for a gallon of gas is $2.83 and experts predict the situation will only get worse. Marina Tsygankobal Eagle Eye Gas prices at service stations and fueling areas around the country continue to rise exceeding the three dollar mark in many locations. Graduating students experience beneficial job market Melissa Trentadue Staff Reporter As graduation rolls around in just a few weeks for the seniors,, students are beginning to plan their lives as they pack away their books and begin to make the dreaded move back home to enter into the real world. While some students are planning on going back to school to receive their masters, others students are finding themselves still sending out resumes and attending job interviews, and a few lucky students have their jobs lined up for them; which seems to be the case among college students along the United States. A recent study which was done a few weeks ago by the of National Association notes Colleges and Employers, that more than 60 percent of employers plan to hire more college graduates this year. This has allowed numerous students to have jobs lined up for them since the fall semester of their senior year, and they have not had to undergo the stress ofthc job process. "We're seeing a greater range of opportunities opening up for new college graduates," said Marilyn Mackes, the association's executive director. "Employers said they plan to hire 9.8 percent more college students than they did last year." Nationally, college graduate job placement is expected to increase overall by 11.1 percent Softball clinches PSAC West for the second year in a row See Bl from last year, according to thc report. In the Midwest alone, employers said they plan to hire 9.8 percent more college graduates this year. This statistic is only proving to be beneficial for the class of . 2006. College officials suggest that students take advantage of the Career Centers that University's have available for students. Even for students who have a major in a tough and competitive market, college Career Centers are important resources for students who want to find the perfect job in the area of expertise in a reasonable amount of time. Since the job market is so competitive, the Career Center makes sure that students arc propped and ready to attend job interviews and meet potential employers. "The C areer Center not only helps students prepare for interviews, but it also connects us with companies all over the nation." senior Cody Michalowski said. Although using internet job search engines are ideal for college students, the Career ( etiiers offer other options and a variety ofresources. However the students go about finding their jobs, employers are more then willing to hire them this year. This brings hope that as each year comes along, more employers will be willing to hire college graduates, allowing the process to be easier as the years go on.

Monday April 24, 12:31 p.m. Bands who have no talent really grind my gears. Formed with the goal only to make tons of cash, these guys or girls look like they belong in one of those cheesy Old Navy commercials with the obviously-fake singing. If they're not wearing skimpy outfits leaving nothing to the imagination, then they have their shirts completely off with random jets of water hitting them from off screen. Throw in some choreographed dancing, add a pinch of repetitive music, har- monize vocals via electronic equipment in a sound studio, stir in lyrics that were seemingly written by a three-yearold who had just been watching Barney on television for 27 hours and you've just made yourself millions of dollars. Ah, that feels better. Seven topics all in one nice little package. Writing Way Out There has been a great experience to write about some topics that some people would never even think of putting in a newspaper. I hope 1 made some good points while maybe even made a few of you laugh. Tah tah. The flag may be gone, but our Pride lives on Kelly McCoomb Guest Columnist I started writing this with a loss of words, but now, I have words. On Friday. I was informed that the Pride Flag was gone. It had been taken or stolen. When a friend told me that he had seen some guys running off with the flag, my heart dropped. I wouldn't have predicted that I'd react like that, but I did. I was hurt, angry, and discouraged. I hadn't heard that Janclle Walters had proposed to hang the Pride Flag at Bentley. but when I first saw it, I smiled. It made me feel happy: happy with the world and especially this campus when it seemed they were being accepting and openminded. To me. the Pride Flag is more than being proud ofbeing gay. It means being proud to be yourself, accepting love of all kinds, freedom, friendship, diversity, caring for others, and so much more. So when people tore down the Pride Flag, it was tearing all that away. Something you may not know about "our" Pride Flag Beth Baker made it herself, then Walters prepared it for display. These two people put their time, money, and most of their hearts into making this Pride Flag. Who gave those people the right to steal the Pride Flag? It was NOT theirs. They vandalized private property. These are obviously closeminded people who may do what others tell them to do. The likelihood of these people and anyone reading this column of knowing a homosexual or bisexual is very high. The thing is. - they just might have not talked to you about their sexual orientation, and they don't have to. Straight people don't tell their family and friends. "Hey, I'm straight!" Now. I don't get how someone being in love with another person would hurt anyone. It's love, not hate. So. get over your hate! The Pride Flag hanging at Bentley was hurting no one. No one ripped down the art in Sloan that offended some, because it wasn't theirs to deface. So, why despoil the Pride Flag? This was a "hate crime," and the ironic thing is that last Wednesday a film was shown on hate crimes. A hate crime is defined as "a crime that violates the victim's civil rights and that is motivated by hostility to thc victim's race, religion, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender." (dictionary.com) If you ever w itness this kind of misconduct, call for help and fight back. You can't hope that someone else will raise a cry of injustice. You must take action and begin to make a difference before any change in attitudes and behaviors will occur. This w ill be addressed on the Day of Silence, a day designated for people to be silent for those people who have been silenced by hate crimes. I will NOT be silent this day, because I will speak out against people who perpetrate this kind ofcrime. Please do not support these close-minded people who refuse to grow. They might have taken the Pride Flag, but we have more pride and it still lives on in our hearts. Come get blitzed (by an eyeful of art) at the Senior Art Viewing.

You are a senior and about to graduate and you find that you now ask yourself. "Will 1 ever sec these people again?" And as you start to ponder this question, you realize, unfortunately, that the answer is probably. "No." I recently have thought about this question myself and started to reminisce about thc people I have met over the past four years. Although you may feel that four years really isn't a long time, building relationships of any sort, takes time and the ones that are meant to last, will, and the others will just fizz out. Suddenly having the epiphany of mine made me want to write this letter. I have met many people over thc past years and some have left my life as quick as they came in, and others will remain in my life. I'm sure this scenario is Too much noise and pollution on campus Dear Editor, The purpose of this letter is the University to stop polluting. Bell towers arc the neatest things.

It was thc worst rendition of "America the Beautiful" I have ever heard. The sound took me back to the 3rd grade when my older sister played her clarinet at thc Pulaski Elementary School Talent Show. With all the beautification that has been happening on the campus over the last 10 years, why would the University choose such horrible sounds to fill the air? I thought that thc parade of treble and bass that comes screaming out of passing convertables was bad, but at least those songs were in tunc and on time, which is more than I can say for the Frederick's Bell Tower. I love the fact that the Tower rings the time, but I'm embarrassed when it plays songs. The Fredericks family has been very generous to the University with all their donations, but you should make sure that what you choose to represent our institution is of the best possible quality, not the most dollars. Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania has an obligation to the community that houses them. Not only the community. but to the planet that houses them. There is an awful lot of waste that this institution creates, as I'm sure you know. Some of the waste can be recycled into new products, in fact, the Lock Haven community has a recycling program in place. The University should also adhere to a strict recycling program. I see all the recycling bins located in building around campus, in fact, I personally requested and received recycling bins in thc Student Recreation Center. That procedure opened my eyes to thc recycling problem here on campus. I was told that putting bins in buildings doesn't mean a thing. Recyclables arc just being mixed back in with regular garbage, so why put a bin in place?

As the 2006 baseball season winds down, the Bald Eagles snapped a seven game losing streak, taking game one from California University 5-4. Lock Haven went on to lose game two of the double header 5-0. Picking up the win for LHU was sophomore Pat Young. Young went all seven innings allowing fours runs on eight hits while walking one and striking out four. "Pat Young is the only real original starter we have had. He is as good as any pitcher in the conference," said coach Smokey Stover on his ace right hander. With the victory. Young moved to 4-4 on the year. After trailing 1-0 after the top of thc first Kurt Elbin got things started with a one out single to right. Next up was Nate Roman who hit a double moving Elbin to third.

There were some very special moments for Lock Haven athletics this year and being able to talk and write about them was what working on college paper is all about. Whether it was talking about championships, tough endings or interviewing athletes, they all made my job as sports writer, columnist, and editor fun. D. Spat («*\e fast time) knocked in a third, freshman Ilia Lopez scored twice and senior second baseman Heather Johnson plated her 23rdrun of thc season. Senior Jeanette Middlestead went five innings, striking out five and allowing both runs, improving to 13-2. Junior Stephanie Kinch got the final six outs. The Lady Eagles are back in action Friday, April 28 at 2:30 p.m. when they host IUP (17-14, 8-4 PSAC West) on Senior Day for LHU.

And now for my final column. What, did you think you were going to get away with not hearing what I have to say? Come on, this is my last chance to throw my opinions at you, so enjoy. This being my last column 1 am going list my top five favorite sporting events 1 wrote about while this column was in existence. Counting down. 5) The curses of baseball. I had some fun looking into and poking run at some of the curses in the game, but at the time also might have uncovered another. I said that Barry Bonds, yea that same Barry Bonds who is the most liked man in baseball, you know him, we are on the same page might have cursed my Pittsburgh Pirates. I said there were no curses in baseball, but after deep thought, this is serious stuff. Just look at the Bucos now. Look what The Bambino made Boston go through, and the Cubs. Say it isn't so. 4) Curling. My new favorite game and I know I am not alone on this one. It was awesome getting into this new and unique game. I talked terms and strategies, but it was the unknown that made it so attractive to many of us. 3. Penn State Football. It was so nice to be able to watch Joe Paterno and his boys make Happy Valley just that, happy again. It was truly special to watch what they did this year, but knowing they were that close to perfection. You never know. 2. The Steelers. What an amazing ride it was and what made it even better was being able to write about it. Watching the perfect run at the end was one of the most enjoyable times of my life and seeing Bettis go out on top was just plain To all my sports reporters thank you and and striking out eight. Erb's 20th victory gives her the top singleseason mark in LHU history, topping Shona Guevara's 19-5 season a year ago. Senior first baseman Danielle Fraser struck for the lone run. ripping a double to score classmate Courtney Hughes. Game two allowed for a bit more offense, as four Lady Eagles had multi-hit games. Erb brought home one run with a solo blast, while senior Julie Robitaille brought home a pair and had a round-tripper of her own.

Her glowing red hair and baby face haven't changed, but her talents sure have. Jenny Lewis has switched gears and picked up an acoustic guitar, along with a pen and paper, delightfully building herself a solo career with her first album, "Rabbit Fur Coat." It's not enough that she's already created a significant fanbase fronting the quartet Rilo Kilcy. No, Lewis used her downtime from recording, promoting and touring with Rilo Kilcy to construct thc woven workings of her own melodies that had been running through her head. Lewis's voice is angelic. It's, hard to describe it any other way. Her vocals seem effortless. There's no strain present, and even if the notes were a stretch it's never heard. It's as if she was reclined comfortably at fidence. Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Something you've kept hi den turns out to be exact what you need. You had hunch this would happe and it did, eventually.

The rolling drums and the quick paced guitar slides lend to the upbeat tracks, while the loose vocals and somber lyrics of some tracks make them undeniably haunting and subdued. Currently, Lewis and thc Watson Twins arc touring overseas until the end of April. The troop just finished a cross country tour in March. Lewis even skillfully covers ' Handle With Care." a Traveling Wilburys song with the help ofa few guest musicians. Not an ea:;y task to follow up a song wrote and recorded by such legendary musicians as George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbtson. Tom Petty and Jeffrey Lynne, but Lewis and crew have the experience and ability to conquer such a feat. Of thc many guests appearing on thc album are Ben (iibbard ofDeath Cab for Cutie. Mickey Madden and James Valentine of Maroon 5 and Conor Oberst ofBright Ryes. Oberst. an infamous multi- tasker in the music industry, even heads the label. Team Love, which the album was released on. His requests were what convinced Lewis to dip her solo endeavor. Also backing a number of the songs on the album are the Watson Twins, a Kentuckybased pair that have a unique and highly impressive talent for harmonizing. Lewis and the Watson Twins blend their notes and compliment each other extremely well. There's no twang to their voices, but maybe their country roots had a slight influence on Lewis's compositoes and test thc waters of a tions. There's definitely an old southern/folk feel to some ofthe tracks. Not necessarily something you'd expect from a California gal. but Lewis is full of surprises. Thc only trait of the album's creator that will never be surprising is Lewis's obvious knack for generating intoxicating melodies. Lewis holds enough talent to lead her in whichever direction she chooses to travel next. Courtesy of Yahoo com Festival promotes living and learning to him, was a very good turnout.

The work that was put into the characters costumes was absolutely amazing. While horrifying and hideous, they each had a sense of art to them.

B7 lhueagleye.com April 26, 2006 r Feature This BSU sponsors diversity conference Leona Livingston Staff Reporter The Black Student Union sponsored the Leadership Conference on April 22. The conference was a chance for students to learn skills associated with leadership and "living a life that matters," which was the theme of the conference. speaker Mr. Keynote Marvin Worthy, a former col- University, Shippcnsburg kicked off the conference. He laid the foundation for the workshops that the students participated in throughout the day. "What we are means more than what we say," said Worthy. toP ics Some of the addressed at thc conference were interpersonal and inlrapersonal skills, learning how to work amongst differences, and male and female relations. The male and female workshop involved students narrowing down qualities that each would want in a partner. It also touched on the characteristics of a relationship. Thc conference addressed qualities that would not normally be associated with leadership. These included how one enters a room, body language, and understanding romantic relationships. The exercises taught students that how they act impacts other people, even ifresults are immediately obvious. "No leader is an island," said Worthy, talking about the importance of our actions when it comes to interacting with others.

Feet were surely tapping to the beat in the Jazz/Rock Ensemble and Combo's Concert Spring Sunday, April 23. The ensemble, a full 21piece 1930*3 type big band group, and the combo, a 10piece group playing older jazz and newer jazz, join together at the end of each semester to do a tour of local high schools and elementary schools and perform an on-campus concert. The songs for Sunday's serenade in Price Auditorium featured big band swing dance selections, slow ballads and fast jitterbugs. Dixieland tunes, bop classics, jazz ditties, rock tunes and two funk tunes were also highlights of the concert. Dr. Glenn L. Hostcrman, Professor of Music in the Department ofPerforming Arts, hosted and conducted the spring recital. Dr. Hosterman said the recital music is chosen at the start of each semester so that there is plenty of time to practice. He buys a variety of newly written full ensemble and combo charts that repfesent the various styles ofjazz. He chooses selections that will highlight the talents of the student soloists. This small ensemble of jazz musicians also contributes much of its time to other on-campus activities such as dances and ceremonies. The Jazz/Rock Combo previously contributed its melodious capabilities to playing the ceremonial music in thc Spring Honors Convocation on April 9. The group will play a concert at Lock Haven Hospital Extended Care Facility for the Volunteer hospital's Appreciation Day. Wednesday at 1 p.m. Marina The Jazz/Rock Ensemble and Combo Spring Concert features 1930 s style music including big band swing dances, slow ballads and fast jitterbugs. Many of the jazz solos that were performed were highly improvised, as jazz is a passionate art form that requires human emotions and soul-driven beats, Dr. Hosterman says it takes a great deal of self-confidence for students to compose melodies on the spur of the moment. In fact, one of the best rewards of Dr. Hosterman's job. he says, is giving the very gifted students a chance to exhibit their talents. "The students did an excellent job. the soloists excelled, the ensemble played very well, and thc audience gave us a standing ovation," said Dr. Hosterman. "It doesn't get any better than this." Dr. Hosterman encourages students to pursue music if it is an interest. Currently, private voice and instrumental lessons are available for those who wish to study. Most of the students in the ensembles have played their instruments for 813 years to get to their high level of playing proficiency, However, anyone who is interestcd in learning to play a new instrument has that opportunity at LHUP. Dr. Hosterman suggests that anyone interested in jazz music specifically should audition for one of the ensembles or take one of his courses involving jazz music, such as MUSI315 Jazz Studies or MUSI 105 Contemporary Clubs awarded for hard work Emily Carey/Eagle Eye Trends in Jazz, Rock, and Musical Theatre, This dedicated professor and musician says that his rewards from music arc found in the pride and joy ofcreating a unique jazz solo, playing a part in a section and blending with others and the excitement of recreating music that has been professionally recorded, Audience feedback is also 'music to the ears' of any performer, "1 received e-mails from faculty colleagues that attended the concert and even cornmunity members that thanked us for a well-performed, varied, enjoyable program," said Dr. Hosterman. Campus Craze invades SRC with new activities Kim Moershba Staff Reporter What is it about a free t-shirt that makes a college student go crazy? Just ask the 400 people who were waiting at the doors ofthe SRC last Friday for Campus Craze 2006. When the doors opened up at 3 p.m. students flowed into the SRC and scattered to the many attractions that this year's craze had to offer. "Over 400 people were waiting at the doors to come in," said Haven Activities Council (MAC) coordinator Meghan McCarthy. "People had a great time looking at everything. There is something for everyone to at least try once." The first attraction was a surfing simulator where students could ride a fake surf board and get videotaped doing so. For students who had trouble staying on, the big slide maze balloon was the next best option. The course, which rested in the far corner of the SRC. required students to take their shoes off and race against each other. At the end of this mini obstacle course was a slide that students got to go down to finish Many students their race. screamed their way laughed and through this balloon of fun. For students who wanted to show off their climbing skills, a mini-rope climbing apparatus was available for testing. Some students had no problem keeping their balance on the rope, while others could barely keep from falling off. Free pizza, soda, and cotton candy were available for students who got hungry or thirsty while trying out all the stations at this year's craze. Laser tag was also an attraction that kept students happy. Students were able to play against each other in a limited amount of time. Everyone made it out safely and thankfully nobody got lost. For students who like a little speed in their life, a NASCAR racing simulator was located outside of the rec center for students to take for a drive. The real-life stock car proved to fast for some students to handle. Even NASCAR fan Brandy Rissmiller had trouble keeping the car on the track. "It's a good thing 1 want to report on NASCAR for a living instead of race because I can't drive these things to save my life." said Rissmiller. Among other attractions inside were two giant basketball hoops, a place where students could see how fast they could throw a baseball, and a temporary tattoo station with about 30 or 40 different tattoos to choose from. One of the more unique and popular stations was the oxygen bar/massage parlor located in a racquetball court. Students could sit at the mini bar and choose from wintergreen, lemongrass, cinnamon, orange, gardenia, or peppermint scented oxygen they wanted to breathe in. After inhaling thc good stuff, students could put their feet on a foot massager. or they could sit in one ofthe massage chairs that had people rolling their eyes in the back oftheir heads. "I've been in massage chairs before, but this one is by far the best to date," commented Maggie Schwartz. "It literally took all the stress from school and life out of my body in five minutes. It was awesome." Everyone who visited the craze seemed to have a good time, but Lock Haven senior Julianne Woolard had one thing she would have liked to see in her four years at LHU. "They definitely needed to have human bowling," she said. "I mean, this was a crazy event, but imagine how much crazier it could be with students as bowling balls." ow annu op ance features old school songs, a variety >f dances and new exotic costumes k Some award winners display their plaques for the Student Choice Awards.
