These new premium meals offered being Monday through Thursday during the dinner meal, 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., are what Bentley general manager, Joe Marro, sees as an enhancement to the already established meal plan. Marro explained that the meal plan originally was just a basic dining hall, what many refer to as the upstairs. Then came the idea of the cash or meal equivalency, which is what students use in the Eagle Rock Cafe. That was followed by flex dollars, which can be used in any of the dining areas on campus, as well as Starbucks and the CStore in Freshens and Robinson. Many students have begun using their flex dollars for other things in the C-Store, and Marro wants to change that. "We want to offer everything, whatever you (the students) want," Marro said. The idea is to put the flex to use where it belongs to buy food. The premium meals that are now being offered in upstairs Bentley are costing students a little extra. Students will use their regular meal, and be charged an additional cost to be able to enjoy the premium meal. "We are only charging students what it costs to get the food," explains Marro.

Mendoza was confident in - scampi that was offered last week. If it costs $3.75 to bring the shrimp in, students will be charged an additional $3.75 to purchase the shrimp scampi. This also means that cost will vary due to the item, which is determined by the market value and the seasonal demand for the product at the time. BBQ ribs may cost $4 this week, but six weeks from now, that could change. By having the students pay a little extra for the meal, they are actually getting a decent amount for their money. Marro points out that students can still get a burger, salad, soup, and dessert if they like, along with the premium meal, all for the cost of a meal and a little extra flex, where as going to a restaurant like Ruby Tuesdays to enjoy a rack of ribs, customers must pay for the ribs and then a separate cost for soup and salad. But Bentley is not limiting themselves to ribs and shrimp. Last week there was chicken francaise, chicken parmesan, boneless chicken wings and Chesapeake chicken. Since the program is still new, it is hard to tell how well it is going over. Students who have tried the meals seemed to enjoy them, but other students are hesitant to pay the extra for the experience. Due to the issue of time, the premium meals are only available at dinner. Marro feels that students tend to have more time at dinner to relax and enjoy their food, and since the meals are cooked to order, it makes the most sense. The program is still in the works, and students may see the more popular meals reoccurring on the menu. And if all goes well, the program may extend itself to include Friday night and possibly two meals per night. A2 October 24, 2007 lhueagleye.com Hjr Diverse panelists speak on local environmental issues >«H Sarah Wojcik Editor in Chief Photo Courtesy ofLH Public Relations Tim Seibles, poet, will read as part of the UpWrite reading series sponsored by the English department. See Seibles Nov. 1 in the PUB MRP. Dynamic poet visits for Up-Write reading program Amanda Alexander Staff Reporter The Up-Write Reading Program will be hosting the dynamic and poet energetic Tim Seibles on Thursday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. Seibles will read from his poetry in the PUB multipurpose room, and the event is free and open to the public. Dana Washington, of the English department, said Seibles was chosen because of the way he approaches sensitive topics such as race, sexuality, and class. "Our intention is to promote diversity," Washington said. The members of the program felt that the topics Seibles addresses would be "really relevant to a number of student groups" on campus. He was also chosen for his unique ability to write about sensitive topics in a way that draws the audience in, rather than pushing them away. Washington expects a pretty large audience for Seibles' reading. "His subject matter is, I think, going to attract people," she said. These are "things we don't talk about openly." Maddox Marjorie Hafer, also ofthe English department, said Seibles will be having lunch with Lyrically Speaking and the Black Student Union. He will also attend an African American studies class, as well as a creative nonfiction class and two literature classes to talk about the process of writing. "Students a get chance to meet him in a much more intimate setsaid Maddox ting," Hafer. "It's always inspiring and thought provoking to meet a poet after their reading Washington work." agreed that students often feel a real connection with an author when they meet that author personally. She said sometimes students have a theory about the meaning of a poem and then, upon meeting the author, find out that they were exactly right. This is "part of the magic... knowing their emotions before you meet them," Washington said. Seibles uses a variety of writing styles and addresses issues openly and with a point. In an open letter to his readers, Seibles said that part of what energizes him to write is the negativity and cynicism people have toward poetry, the belief that it can't change anything and that it has no purpose. Seibles believes that poetry should make a statement and take a stand, and that is exactly what his poetry does. Maddox Hafer said, "He's got some very funny poems and poems that deal with very serious subjects... he's also got some wonderful love poems." Maddox Hafer feels that Seibles' poetry has the ability to bring people together and open the lines of communication. Maddox Hafer said Seibles has poems on romance, politics, justice, and equality, as well as character poems about "everyday life situations and issues." Seibles is also known for his strong presence and generous spirit. "People just rave about his presence when he reads." said Maddox Hafer. She also said that Todd Davis, another poet who recently held a reading at Lock Haven, highly recommended Seibles as someone who gets involved with students and tackles tough questions. "You won't be bored," promised Maddox Hafer. Washington hopes students will get "an appreciation for what he writes about and how he writes about it, as well as for the man behind the words." She added that students who are unfamiliar with poetry will be able to understand the concept of Seibles' poems because he will explain the context and tell stories about each of them. She said the reading will not be "dry and grim." Tim Seibles is an associate professor of English and creative writing at Old Dominion University. He has written five books of poetry, including "Hammerlock, Buffalo Solo Heads," and Hurdy-Gurdy." He is a former NEA fellow and has led several writing workshops. lems and solutions were examined by a wide-ranging panel consisting of philosophers, scientists and more during the Environmental Issues Panel on Thursday, Oct. 18. The interdisciplinary group was brought to campus through the efforts of campus professors Dana Joan Washington, Whitman-Hoff, who moderated the discussion, and Majorie Maddox-Hafer. "We tried to get students involved on several different levels," said Maddox-Hafer, explained that some ofthe panelists visited classrooms as students read or studied their work. "I had many students excited about the issues and how the disciplines interacted regarding them." Panelists included: Joe Calabrese, a professor of biology, Amidea Daniel, involved in numerous conservation and environmental endeavors in Clinton County, Todd Davis, poet and instructor at Penn State Altoona, Rick Henrich, owner of Rock, River and Trail Outfitters, Inc., Mark Smith, English instructor LHU, at Md. Khalequzzaman, geologist and professor at LHU, Tim Morey, a natural resource specialist with the PA Wilds Recreation Team, and Thomas Young, a professor of philosophy at Mansfield University. With the spectrum of disciplines represented, the panel discussed different approaches to the same environmental quandary - where does the environment need our attention and how do we work toward a solution? While some of the panelists' part in preservation and environmental solutions seemed obvious, appreciation of nature, if nothing else. He added that he helps in any and every way he can, no matter how small. "What I do is appreciate where I go and what I do," said Henrich of his outdoor activity, "I work with the local country and government to do cleanups I go at it in a simple direction." approaches Young environmental issues from the standpoint of ethical theories. "Unfortunately, when it comes to environmental ethics, some of these (theories) come up locally short," said Young. The problem stems from the fact that most theories are meant to relate to humans and not the natural world. Work in making some of these theories "applicable to nonhuman" entities is something Young says may aid the fight for conservation and respect for the environment. The addition of poets and writers to the panel added another perspective and "interesting balance" according to MaddoxHafer. Davis explained how the famous statement "poetry makes nothing happen" is false. "Art can't do what activist speeches can do, it can't do what expository essays can do. Having said that, exposition relies on the fact that humans are rational creatures," Davis said as laughter followed. The poet went on to describe how the public will often select which sci- ... .. . wishes to it ences and which to acknowledge Scientists warning ignore. about environmental problems have unfortunately not been as widely recognized as other sciences, like medicine. When it comes to bringing out an appreciation in the environment, acting on a person's past experience is a very successful route and art can do that in a way no science can. "Art is trying to find a language that brings people deeper into a relationship with an experience they've already had," Davis explained. Smith explained how he tries to "sneak the environment" into his English classes in order to build an appreciation of it. Some of the most pressing environmental problems identified by the panelists included acid mine drainage and invasive species of plants and animals. Khalequzzaman that explained over 285,000 acres of land are impacted by coal mining in Pennsylvania and over 1100 river mines facing this problem in the West Branch watershed alone. Species like hogweed and the gypsy moth, mentioned by Henrich and Morey are also making a big impact in the region and need attention. Better land use overall could help a number of these issues, said Morey. "There's no easy choices or answers in land use," he admitted, but with the right focus a solution isn't Despite the onset of global and regional environmental challenges, the panelists emphasized hope and local action. "Finding and maintaining hope is going to be crucial for your future and your children's future," said Smith. America's tendency to connect happiness with consumption is a cultural needs obstacle that to according changed, Young. "Consumption is probably one of the major problems, the sacred cow because we tend to worship economic growth and accumulating toys," said Young. Daniel encouraged students to "look at your surroundings as a whole" and be aware of their impacts - good and bad, on the community. Calabrese stressed involvement and learning and said that clean-up efforts by clubs and other beautification activities are one way to make a difference. "It's all about education," Calabrese said, adding that the faculty and students should not be afraid to educate the administration on ways they can help make the school greener. "We are most efficient when we act locally," said Khalequzzaman. "Students, demand more from the school and appreciate the diversity of the area." . Calabrese, Khalequzzaman, Daniel and Morey for instance all explained their role in pushing for and partaking in environmental resolutions.

Things are going well until your realize that you have no idea what you want to do with that major. The Career Services office is here to Career Services has to students when it comes to choosing a major and pursing it. Many students choose a broad major such as English or business administration, and find themselves struggling when it comes to narrowing that down into a specific career. The office provides helpful handouts titled "What Can I Do With This From, Liquor, Al For external groups interested in reserving space in the alumni center, a cash bar may be available. Revenue from renting rooms and selling food and beverages will benefit the Foundation's endowment for future projects and scholarship monies. At this point, one of the biggest concerns of Updegraff and Kistler is the black-and-white policy concerning current students who are 21 years and older. While most of the functions will not see university students, there are possibilities in which organizations such as sororities or fraternities may request to utilize the facility. In this case, the question of whether or not alcohol will be allowed for of-age students is still in the air, pending answers from the Foundation's solicitor, Paul Ryan. Though Updegraff called the policy rules concerning of-age undergraduates "a work in progress," he emphasized the center's main purpose - to attract and provide for alumni. Updegraff also made it clear that this is not a place for students to rent out and use on their 21 birthdays. "It's not like we have Friday happy hours," he said. For students, little on campus will change as a result of the alumni center's ability to sell and serve liquor. "We're as concerned as ever about student drinking on campus," said President Keith Miller. The fact that the events are held in a confined space during times of low student traffic should prevent any breaching of the campus's dry policy, according to Miller. "We're pretty consistent with other state schools," said Miller, "such as serving alcohol at the president's house or something of the sort." most Though state Pennsylvania schools share a similar mindset concerning alcohol on campus, no other state school, with the exception of Clarion who could not be contacted at press time, possesses a Major?" for almost every major that is offered at the university.

In an attempt to assuage the concerns of businesses, downtown Updegraff md Kistler that the explained Foundation is not intending to compete for catering or banquet customers. "To rent out the facility will be more expensive," said Updegraff. "The alcohol will also be more expensive and the catering will be more expensive as well. It will be overall more expensive than, say, the Elk's or the (Clinton County) Country Club." As far as catering. Updegraff is referring to the current catering service for the university, as they will be the only service permitted in the alumni center. Currently the university's food service provider is Aramark. Aramark employees who have been certified in food preparation as well as alcohol distribution will make up the majority of the bartenders for these functions as well. "My biggest concern is that the downtown area will think we are doing this for competition," said Kistler. "We are not attempting to compete; we do not want to take away the faculty or staff from the downtown." Protests concerning the liquor license can be filed with the PLCB if they concern information that would disqualify those holding the license from legally being able to do so. According to Hays, there is no cut-off time for protests of a public venue license. No date or approximation could be obtained as to how soon a decision will be made about the liquor license's approval. "We have filed the application, the inspector was here two weeks ago, he has met with the applicants and measured the building for square footage," said Kistler. Despite the lack of a date for approval, Kistler stated that the PLCB seemed optimistic that the venue could be ready for its first event in midFebruary. pus. "The president is empowered by the system to waive the dry campus policy at his discretion," said Updegraff, "But these are for mostly donor, adult groups." Updegraff explained that students are not present during these events, since they are usually scheduled during school breaks, weekends or over the course of the summer. Alcohol has also been served during Homecoming and home football games at Tailgate Park, located next to the stadium. During this year's Homecoming weekend, an alumni barbeque served beer to present, adult donors. "We're extremely careful at these events," said Updegraff. "There are wristbands, I.D.'s are checked, the area is roped off and few students are around." The dry campus policy is not threatened, Miller and Updegraff explained, because the Foundation and university stand as entities. separate However, in cases such as these where their relationship intertwines, they rely heavily on one another. "It's the Foundation, not the university, which has applied for the liquor license," said Miller. "It's a very confined window for them but there's definitely a relationship and discussion between the Foundation and us." The total cost in applying for the license was $1,400, with an additional $70 for mandatory criminal background checks on all of the signers, all of which was paid for the LHU by Foundation. Because the alumni center stands on land owned the by Commonwealth, it will remain exempt from real estate tax. Updegraff suspects, however, that the Foundation may have to pay a fee toward the state in the form of a sales tax on beverages sold. .. . m\ ER > a* .

Patti Smith from The AIDS Project and Dr. Nicholas Viyough M.D. presented the forum. Viyough is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and works at the Lock Haven hospital. He is also involved with the Haven Health Care for Women program. Both presenters informed students about common STDs such as Pelvic Herpes, Inflammatory Disease, and Human Papilloma (HPV). Organizations such as, Planned Parenthood, The AIDS Project and Healthy Woman from the Lock Haven hospital provided free give-a-ways, refreshments and information about free testing to v everyone attending the event. "We think it's important to spread awareness and healthy decisionmaking," said Ronesha Smith, who was in charge of organizing the event. Researchers have found that the highest rates of STDs are found in adolescents, ages 10 to 19, and young adults, ages 20 to 24. This is because adolescents and young adults between these ages are more likely to have a higher number of sexual partners than people ages 25 and above. While most STDs can be treated there is a stigma attached to testing. "A lot of students and young adults are afraid to get tested for STDs because they are afraid of what the results might be or they're afraid that people will find out they are being tested because it might cast them out," said Smith, "I think people should be proud that they are serious about their health and are taking proactive steps." Planned Parenthood, located on Main Street, provides STD testing. The AIDS Project, located on N. Grove Street, provides free HIV testing and will be on campus in Woolridge Hall on Thursday, October 25. Both places accept walkins. Lock Haven will be holding another STD forum on November 27 at 6:30 p.m. in Ulmer Planetarium. Counseling service offers help for depression Amanda Alexander Staff Reporter Of the 250 students who seek help from the Lock Haven University Counseling Service each year at least a quarter to a third either have anxiety or depression, or both according to Dan Tess, licensed psychologist and director of the counseling service. "It's pretty substantial," Tess said. "I've been tracking student problems and statistics since 1994." Tess said the three most common problems at Lock Haven are mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, relationship problems, and learning or academic problems. Depression can be described as "prolonged feelings of sadness, or feeling blue," said Robert Franz, a licensed psychologist with the counseling Some of the outward symptoms of depression include loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, a lack of motivation, and a loss of interest in pleasurable activities. Franz said one of the biggest indicators of depression is the way a person views their life and the things that happen to him or her. Franz said that these people have a defeatist attitude and feel that the bad things that happen in life are always their fault, while if something good think happens "they they're lucky." The new environment college presents seems to be the cause for most cases of depression in college students. Franz said, "I think the biggest [factor] is change, especially for newer students." Franz explained that freshman who are leaving behind a social support system and managing new demands while trying to fit in can become overwhelmed. He said students can also feel compelled to drink, do drugs, become sexually active, and do other things that make them feel uncomfortable. Many students can also be affected by culture shock. Tess said he sees this in many international students, as well as with students who come from big cities. Tess said the counseling service provides acculturation therapy for these students, which helps them adjust to the culture and tells students where to shop, as well as explaining customs and language. Students from cities are also given reality therapy. Depression can affect every aspect of a student's life. Franz said the three areas affected the most are schoolwork, health, and relationships. Tess said something to look for in a student you think is depressed is "a kind of blase, 'whatever', lack of zest or lack of energy; a flatness." He said students with mild depression will often skip classes and slack off, and they also have a pessimistic attitude. Students with severe depression have suicidal thoughts and lose interest in just about everything. Tess said students often describe this feeling as similar to being in a tunnel: "they just feel numb," he said. Tess said that a big problem with treating depression is that some people are convinced it isn't real. "It's real- very real," he said. "It has nothing to do with personality problems." Tess said a student who thinks they may be depressed should contact the Student Counseling Service. They will be given a comprehensive personalized holistic diagnostic assessment, which helps to narrow down the possibilities and identify the problem. "You cannot come in for 10 to 15 minutes and 'OK, here's Prozac' and you're on your way," Tess said. He added that the testing "always has to be collaborative" with the student, and not something that is done to the student without their help. The test includes information such as personal medical history and family medical history, as well as mood charting, which Tess said "helps establish a pattern and identify alleviators." Often Tess will use the test to find things the student enjoys doing and prescribe those activities. He has prescribed for a student to go to New York City once a month, and for someone to talk to a certain amount of close friends so many times a week. He also said, "I believe in a personalized exercise program" to help students cope with depression. "I refer students to a health science professor who helps them put together a personal plan," Tessa said. "It needs to be tailored to the person and their needs." Sometimes students need medication to help them cope with depression, and- in those cases they will be referred by Tess or Franz to a psychiatrist in Mill Hall who is contracted by Lock Haven University. The psychiatrist will give a second opinion on the student's condition and prescribe medication if necessary.

Then all of a sudden, fade to black... Commercial! For a minute you may want to stand up and scream. Or rant and rave about how much you hate commercials. Or discuss with whomever you may be watching TV with about how a 60 minute TV show averages out to about 45 with those stupid commercials. And believe me, I am one of those people.

But no matter what you were wishing for, your hopes are quickly smashed by some guy promoting the latest burger joint. So you'll change the station hoping for a positive result, let's say Fall Out Boy, only to hear about the "everything must go" car sale happening this weekend. But the more I sat and thought about how much I really despised commercials, whether on TV or the radio, the more I thought about, where would we be without them? Most people wouldn't know about the year end Toyota clearance or about how Pillsbury is putting out their new holiday cookies with the pumpkins on them. There are things we just simply would not know about. Whether it was a sale at our favorite store, a new car that just came out, or even something as simple as a new TV show, that they will so conveniently interrupt with more commercials. And think about all the commercials that have created a following for brand icons. The Fruit of the Loom fruit guys, Tucan Sam, Snap Crackle and Pop, the Keebler Elves. These characters would not have the following they do if they were simply plastered on a box or a label. Having commercials allows them to have a life. Without the Pillsbury commercials, poking someone in the stomach and going "woohoo" just wouldn't happen. So there's something to think about. The next time you feel the urge to throw the remote at the TV because you're just about to find out the latest gossip on the Hills, watch House deal with his patients, or find out the latest hero's power, realize that whatever they are trying to sell you, that you just might need one day, you would not have known about otherwise. Or when you're driving around and all you really want is to hear Soulja Boy, that commercial promoting the newest twist on the whopper may come in handy later when you're hungry.

Now, I am not entirely naive. I know that mudslinging is as old as politics. I can't remember a that didn't campaign involve name-calling and black-and-white commercials in which a guy with a deep voice says that one of the candidates doesn't care about somebody or another. But is it too much to ask that the campaigning stops' when the election is over? Ultimately, that's what these condemnations are all about; they are part of a never-ending cycle of campaigning. Election Day just signals a change of characters in the tragic comedy of American politics. This really isn't a new phenomenon either. The Clinton impeachment is an example of politicians government using resources to take out a powerful opponent. I'm not saying there weren't grounds for impeachment - I believe there were and they should have been pursued but I think the motives of those pressing the issue had less to do with justice than with taking out an effective, popular enemy. If we look to the Civil War, we can see a prime example of where this divisiveness and malice can lead. While the conflict over slavery and states rights was a long time coming, it was set off because southern democrats didn't like the republican who was elected president. - It seems to me that if a candidate is not a there is one primary cause republican or a democrat, for this problem: the twothey might as well not party system. run.

In a system with multiple parties, we would be represented by an ideological spectrum, so a radical or reactionary movement wouldn't be able to commandeer a party that represents half of the nation's entire political structure.

Photo Courtesy of Sports Field Hockey Team seniors, seen above, look to end NEC career s with an undefeated season. "The underclassman did an amazing job of celethe senior's brating accomplishments over the last four years," commented Megan Bullock. The Lady Eagles started off the game trailing unexpectedly to Yale 1-0. LHU had 11 shots in the first 35 minutes of play but could not seem to make contact with the back of the cage. Twenty minutes into the first half, Yale took the lead 1-0, making LHU step up their game. They came back strong in the second half with a goal by Suzann Hobart tying the scorel-1. Amy Hordendorf came down the right side of the field strong, shooting the ball across cage, allowing Hobart to slip the ball in for the score. "Yale was a very strong team," Bullock stated, "to come from behind against them says a lot about our discipline and determination." About three minutes later, Hobart was at it again, putting the ball in the cage making the score 2-1. Assistance came from Megan Albert, placing the ball in front of the cage so teammate Hobart could draw the goalie out of position and lift it into the upper left corner. Blair Wynne took a shot on goal that got rebounded and picked up by Senior Sam Stoyer. Stoyer passed it to teammate Alana Lewis who made the shot for the Lady Eagles, upping the score to 3-1, in the last 15 minutes of play. "The forwards did an excellent job of capitalizing in the circle. If we can block up the middle better and execute on corners I think that we can dominate St. Francis and finish NEC competition undefeated," Bullock said, hopeful of the Lady Eagles next game. Come support the Lady Eagles as they host St. Francis University in their NEC regular season finale on Friday at 5pm. Terray leads Lady Eagles at Clarion Fall Classic Garrett Graziano Sports Editor m\\\\\\U This past weekend saw the Lady Eagles swim team finish third at the Clarion University Fall Classic. In a field of seven, the Lady Eagles finished with 223 points behind Grove City and host team, Clarion. In her collegiate debut, freshmen Amanda Terray swam into the record books as she finished the 200 Backstroke in a time of 2:14.52. Terray became the second fastest Lady Eagle to finish the event. As lead in the 400 Medley Relay, Terray finished with an all-time second fastest time in the 100 Backstroke among Lady Eagle swimmers. Her time of 1:00.19 in the event was also good enough to make an NCAA "B" cut time. Terray capped off her impressive day with a second place finish in the 100 backstroke event, where she finished with a time of 1:02.41, while taking a respectable sixth place finish in the 50 freestyle. Following Terray's lead, Stephanie teammate Kudrick finished third in the 100 Breaststroke in a time of 1:12.14. Kudrick also took fifth in the 200 EM with a time of 2:23.17. "I was quite impressed with how our first year college swimmers stepped up and embraced their races," said Head Coach Andrew Waeger. "Nobody backed down from any race and everyone gave 100% for each time... that is all I can ask for." Senior Kelly Grieneisen rounded out top individual performances for the Lady Eagles with a second place finish in the 500 Freestyle with a time of 5:36.31. In team action, the Lady Eagles A-team consisting of Terray, Grieneisen, Kudrick and Brittany Williams took third place in the 400 Freestyle Relay. The team of Terray, Kudrick, and Grieneisen would then team up with Ashley Lightcap to take second place in the 200 Medley Relay. "I was really quite pleased with how this weekend went. This is always a long 2 days of racing with most of our women competing in 8 events," said Waeger. The Lady Eagles will be back in action this upcoming Saturday, Oct.27 as travel to East they Stroudsburg University.

Volleyball wins two of three at Clarion Tournament Alan Trexler Sports Reporter The volleyball team picked up two wins in three matches this past weekend in PSAC crossover action at Clarion. It was their second trip to Clarion in three days, after falling to the home team 3-1 Tuesday night. The Lady Eagles (1015) fell in five sets to Kutztown on Friday night but rebounded to top Millersville and cruise past Cheyney on Saturday. LHU finished 5-1 this season against the Eastern PSAC Division. Hilary Pavels set a school record by record- ing 16 services aces in a three game sweep of Cheyney in the second match of Saturday's doubleheader. Pavels broke the previous record of 14 set by Kelly Kostelich against Cheyney two years ago. Lock Haven controlled the action against Cheyney all afternoon and won in quick fashion by scores of 30-0, 30-3 and 30-4. Freshman Emily Pale added 11 aces and six digs in the match.

This notion is never truer then at the end of a season and if you can build momentum going into your final batch of games, then you can achieve those important victories. Momentum is exactly what the men's soccer team had on their side as they defeated Millersville University 40 and then Bloomsburg University 1-0. The recent game against Bloomsburg did more than give LHU the victory, it essentially made sure that they would be seeing the post season. But it was no walk in the park. Aside from the strong play by Bloomsburg; LHU had to deal with strong winds. "Bloomsburg was just a battle," said Head Coach Doug Moore. In the first half Lock Haven had the definite advantage seemingly working with the wind. The lone goal of the game came from Ashley Rosindale in the first half. The goal marks Rosindale's seventh goal on the season and his third in two games. With the lead in place the defense took over the game. Andrew Clemens and the rest of the defense did their jobs and stopped Bloomsburg from scoring, even with the WW BF v m\W 'iHifl n 'mmm potential help from the wind. Matt Deming made three saves in the game, which was his first shutout of the season. While that win was good, the victory against Millersville was even better beating them by a decisive shutout victory. "I'm very pleased with how we played," said Moore. "It was the best we have played all season." All four of the Bald Eagles goals were scored by two players: Leadopoe and Ashley Geain Rosindale. Within the first 20 minutes of the game Rosindale scored his and LHU's first goal of the game, with the help of Paul Huckett. Huckett went down the right side of the field sent the ball perfectly to Rosindale for the score. At the start of the second half it was clear the Bald Eagles were in firm control of the game. At the 63rd minute of play Geain scored his first goal. Colin Callaghan took the ball from midfield to the right side and passed it to Doug Moran as he broke through Millersville's defense. Moran then passed the ball to Geain who scored the second goal. A little over ten minutes later the Bald Eagles were able to do almost exactly the same play. Rosindale was the one who had the ball and took it across midfield to Moran. Moran then fed the ball to an open Geain for his second goal. Two minutes later Rosindale scored his second goal of that game, leaving the scored 4-0 in favor of the Bald Eagles. The defense took over from there, dominating ever position they played mr JLW Wm\ and showing no mercy for the Millersville offense.

Matt Deming also spent some HP >« time in the net, between both players; they helped make sure Millersville was shutout. Both games showed that the progress the team has made all season. Coach Moore said, "They step up when it matters...stepped up in maturity" The next two games will be very critical for the Bald Eagles as they look to confirm a playoff spot and host a semifinal game. With the current standings Lock Haven could play host to one of three teams in the playoffs: Millersville, Slippery Rock, or West Chester. LHU should be able to clinch a home playoff game with one more win, which is likely to happen since the final regular season games are at home.

Sadly, this achievement goes relatively unknown in the community. Sure people have recognized it, I mean it is kind of hard to ignore a National Championship, but compare the publicity of the boxing team with that of the softball team's National Championship win, and there is really no comparison.

Never before has it been so clear that college football is in dire need of a playoff system. When Rutgers defeated #2 South Florida (yes you read that right, South Florida was ranked #2) Thursday night it marked the fourth straight week that a "top five" team lost. The week before, the top two teams in the country lost within hours of each other. It is mid-October and we are already trying to figure out which ane-loss team deserves to play in the BCS Championship. Based on the obvious inability of the voters to rank the teams correctly in the polls, I can almost guarantee we'll pick the wrong one. Some of you may say that the BCS has worked fine in the past citing the 2006 Rose Bowl between USC and rexas and 2003 Miami-Ohio State classic as proof. Well if once in a while is good enough for you then I won't argue against you. But I have a slightly higher standard. Let's take a history lesson of the controversy during the BCS's tumultuous history. Last year Ohio State was the only undefeated team playing in the BCS Championship. The problem is we had two undefeated teams. Boise State proved how deserving they were of a title shot when they defeated Oklahoma in one of the greatest college football games in recent history. Instead a one-loss Florida team ended up blowing out the Buckeyes on their way to a title they should not have had a chance to play for. In the 2005 Orange Bowl undetted #1 USC destroyed undefeated Oklahoma 55-19. Meanwhile, defeated #3 Auburn was stuck lying Virginia Tech in the Sugar New It seems clear to me that Auburr would have put up a slightly bettei effort. An SEC team that finishes undefeated deserves a chance for £ national title. The biggest atrocity happened ir 2004 when the #1 ranked USC Trojans weren't, even invited to the championship game. Those invita tions went to LSU and Oklahoma (coming of a loss) who treated us tc the sloppiest championship game 1 can remember. In 2001 Nebraska got blown out by Colorado in their last regular sea son game to lose a chance to play foi the Big 12 title. Yet somehow the> were qualified to play for the national title against Miami in the 2002 Rose Bowl. They got crushed while and one-loss Oregon watched on. Now back to this year. If only teams finish undefeated, there likely be little controversy. That will not happen, We either have none or one v. team. Again computers will try pick the best of the rest to challei for the title, and again they will get wrong. The talent pool is so deep now th least 10 teams are capable of wi at ning in a playoff. Shouldn't we gi them the opportunity? We should, but instead we'll try figure out if USC or LSU or We Virginia or someone else is mc deserving. The easiest way to fn out is let them play each other.

They had the game, but they couldn't hold it. They could've won, but they didn't. "I told the [Indiana] coaches, 'You've got a good football team. It's too bad you put it on the ground so many times,'" Joe Paterno said. Penn State stole a win you could call undeserved, spoiling a cloudless afternoon for 41,251 homecoming fans at Memorial Stadium. "A win is a win," wideout Deon Butler said. "I'm sure they'd rather have a win." You can rationalize it like that if you want. That's fair. You can say that good teams capitalizing on opponent's mistakes or the importance of winning on the road and how that was a big hurdle for the Nittany Lions. But you can't say Penn State won the game on its own, and you can't feel good yet about Saturday's game against Ohio State. The Hoosiers stammered and squandered their chances. And in the end, they gave away the game. Literally. They fumbled four times. "The difference in the game was the turnovers," Indiana coach Bill Lynch said. "You just can't turn the ball over a lot. In a close game like that, whether it gives you points or changes field position, that really hurts a lot." All of Indiana's fumbles happened in the second half, and three of them ended up in the Indiana red zone. Penn State only pieced together nine points on three field goals off all those fumbles. Those nine points ended up being the difference late in the ball game. But the fact the Lions couldn't make more of their opportunities was disconcerting. Three field goals aren't good enough. "I just felt we wasted too many opportunities," Paterno said. Even before the second-half turnovers, Penn State had trouble. Offensive inconsistency and mental mistakes that have plagued the Lions bubbled to the surface. A fumble. An ugly interception. A few errant passes. A few poorly run routes. Troubling? You bet. That stuff had nothing to do with Indiana, which makes you wonder what comes next. What, truly, can you expect given what we've seen? The Jekyll and Hyde that is the homeand-road masquerade will probably be left behind. Rejoice if you're a Lions fan. Temple and Michigan State are winnable games. But Penn State will meet its most difficult test next weekend. White Out be damned, Ohio State is the best team Penn State has played or will play this season. Think the Lions have a shot against the Buckeyes? Penn State doesn't have a prayer if it plays like it did against Indiana. PSU to host College Gameday Kevin Horan and Josh Langenbacher Daily Collegian Penn State Donnie Howard (junior-kinesiology) remembers that game well. Howard, a freshman at the time, could hear the rowdy "GameDay" crowd from his East Halls room. "It was wild, crazy," he said. Howard thought the 2005 atmosphere contributed to "GameDay" visiting Penn State this weekend. "It definitely should come here," he said. "It's a huge game." Jordan Cascino (juniorcommunications, arts and sciences), who founded the Paternoville Coordination Committee in 2006, expects this week to be similar to the week leading up to 2005's Penn State-Ohio State contest. "It's starting to get a little nostalgic," Cascino said. "I fully expect everyone to go completely nuts." Cascino remembers that week as a "weeklong party" camping out at Paternoville, seeing the "GameDay" crew set up for its broadcast and watching the excitement it generated. Having that excitement all over again this year, Cascino said, should give the Lions an added advantage against Ohio When ESPN searches for a campus to broadcast its weekly "College GameDay" show, its executives look for a college football game with compelling storylines and interesting angles. This week, they decided on Penn State. ESPN's weekly college football preview show will make its fourth appearance on the University Park campus this weekend, airing before the No. 24 Penn State football team takes on No. 1 Ohio State. The show will air on Friday afternoon and from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday. "GameDay" last visited before Penn State's 2005 nighttime win over Ohio State. Like this weekend's game, both teams occupied places in the nation's top 25: The Nittany Lions 16th and the were Buckeyes were sixth in 2005. "It's a great scene," ESPN spokesman Mike Humes said of the University Park campus before a home football game. "The last time we State. were there, it was fantas"They have everything tic." -- I II to lose," Cascino said of the Buckeyes. "We have nothing to lose, and just about everything to gain." Daniel Testa (juniorkinesiology) said, from an exposure standpoint, the publicity from the national broadcast is "good stuff for the university. Testa predicted "GameDay" analyst Lee Corso would pull on a Nittany Lion head. Each week, Corso lets the audience know which team he thinks will win by wearing its respective mascot's head. "He likes to go with the home crowd," Testa said, adding, however, that his choices can be somewhat controversial and frustrating. "GameDay's" first visit to Penn State happened in 1997, when Penn State lost to Michigan, 34-8. The GameDay crew returned for Penn State's 1999 game against Arizona, when the Lions beat the Wildcats, 41-7. Mike Wisniewski (junior-electrical engineering) watches "GameDay" most weekends and said he'll go see the set Saturday afternoon for "GameDay's" most recent visit to Penn State. "Hopefully," he said, "it will be like two years ago." October 24, 2007 lhue e.com How to... make a Joe Stender Staff Reporter jstender@lhup.edu Well, it's that time of the year, again. The leaves are falling from the trees; the air is finally starting to get a little bit chillier, and, best of all, big bags of candy are on sale in grocery stores. This can only indicate one thing - it's time for Halloween, which means you need to have a great costume for the night of tricks and/or treats. What do you need to do to have all the ghosts and ghouls talk about you and your costume? Well, first you need to decide what you want people to get from your costume. Do you want to scare the pants off of people, make people laugh or From, Hypnotist, B7 "I just don't know if I believe in it. While I was trying it in the audience I was starting to relax and I could feel myself falling under, but then I heard him mix up some word and then I started laughing and fell back out," said Kowalchick. The students who were successfully hypnotized were in for a fun-filled ride that Imbus had created for them. Imbus said, "These people are aware of what they are doing. They just don't care." If they weren't comfort - maybe even fight a little crime with your outfit? Scaring the pants off of people with your costume is a classic approach to the costume season. Scaring people is really what Halloween is all about. There are many different ways that you could go with this idea. You could always dress up as one of your favorite movie monsters. There are lots to pick from such as Dracula or the Mummy. But let's be for real, everyone does that and those creature costumes stop being scary around fourth grade. So, what are you to do if you want to be something scary? What about something from a nightmare? No matter how old you get nightmares are still scary or else you wouldn't say you had a nightmare. ect Halloween costume Jessica Horbach/Eagle Eye Wal-Mart has many different masks and supplies that you can choose from to make the perfect Halloween costume. j It could be anything, a freaky looking bunny, a demented psycho killer or anything that your twisted mind can think up. "I prefer scary costumes. This is because I'm a huge horror movie fan and this is the one day where you can dress up like something out of one of those movies," said Gary McCreary, an LHU freshman majoring in criminal justice. This approach isn't the wisest if you're planning cm going trick or treating in a highly elderly infested area because if your costume is too scary, you might give them a heart attack, and then you'll just feel guilty when you're eating their candy. Another approach to your costume could be to make people laugh. Although, Halloween isn't able with what they were ing like they were in labor doing, then they wouldn't and in a great deal ofpain, be able to do it, according something that in real life to Imbus. they will never have to Some of the activities experience. that Imbus had the stu"It was nice to see a litdents participate in was to tle role reversal," said act like they were in a Campion. famous orchestra and they After every activity, had to play their favorite Imbus would put the stuinstrument. dents back into a sleeping Some played guitar, state in order to make violin, flute and drums. them fall in deeper.

The guys ended up Laughter filled the AN AST I Kfl H really meant to make people laugh, it's always an option. Let's face it, sometimes people just need to laugh in order to keep from crying like a little girl from being so scared. Usually in order to be funny with a costume, you must think outside of the box. One example is a kid who had boxes of cereal taped to himself with knives going through them. This obviously was not a normal Halloween costume but was a spin on one, since he was a "Cereal Killer." Other costumes could be something that catches your eye in the news, like, let's say the Michael Vick situation. This could bring a lot of funny and individual costumes to Halloween. of way atmosphere after every different activity the students performed. Campion said, "I went to this last year and I thought it was funny, so I wanted to come again and it was just as furtny if not more funny than last year." Although there may be a few skeptics, the show still turned out to be a success and those who were unsure what to think got a good chuckle out of it. Kowalchick said, "They did a really good job. I'm not sure if I believe in it yet, but it was still really funny to watch." approaching your costume design could be to make one that reflects your crime-fighting favorite hero. Since super heroes are already in costumes, it makes it easy to make you look like one. All you need is a large supply of spandex and a mask to make a super hero costume. Even if you don't have a favorite super hero, you can still make one up and have fun. Finally, you can dress up as a character in a movie that you really enjoy. There are lots of characters that are easy to recognize and easy to make. The Blues Brothers are always an easy and good choice; all you need is a suit, sunglasses, a hat and a friend. But there are plenty of other unforgettable char- . acters that you can make an excellent costume of. "I'm being Tinkerbell, I love her. She's the coolest fairy ever," Whitney Jackson, student, a explains of her costume this year. After deciding on what to be for Halloween, you must then start to construct your creation. You can start by making a list of everything you will need. After that you can go to various shopping areas to get your supplies. You can go to all sorts of places to grab supplies. You could go to Wal-Mart, for the pure fact that they have everyday low prices. Or you could adventure to someplace that has very, very low prices, like the thrift store. You could also opt for a more formal Halloween or costume store. After you grab all of your supplies it is time to it all together. put Whether that means actually sewing and gluing it together or taking it out of the plastic, this is when your creation comes alive. It's always better if you do this step with a group of friends because they can make suggestions and help with the process. After you're done with your costume, there's only one thing left to do, wait for Halloween to start getting some candy. No matter what you decide to be for Halloween, the most important thing is to have fun while doing it. rHairtlque Too Full Service Salon Stacy Kelly, formallyat Heads Up Salon 3103 Eag/e Valley M.t Mill Hall (Just past Wal-Mart) i (570) 72tmi 0 XTnca Tuesdays! k *_m* tori wmwt imtm I I Drink* 4» $6.M+ttx ■$70)748-0212 4pfc*ASA M LOT* Lo< k Havrn' M W: II 8pm Jjj0mW Ni-xl lot'VS tn tlu l linton Pka rVkll-%tB Sun.: Clottd BROTHERS CENTER SERVICE ~» •11.00 STATE INSPECTION qfc, of al.

The Black Student Union held a fashion show, and in between scenes, the crowd was entertained by one of three comedians.

Cops vs. drug dealers: old battle with a new spin Tasha Weirick Staff Reporter "We Own the Night" is an action-packed suspense-thriller that keeps you on the edge of your the throughout seat movie. Director and writer James Gray adds great vision to detail in this 1980s style film. Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix gives an impeccable performance and leads a talented cast including fellow Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg, Oscar winner Robert Duvall and young starlet Eva Mendes. Bobby Green (Phoenix) lives his cigarette smoking, drug craving, partyloving life, with girlfriend Amanda Juarez (Mendes), as manager in a Russian nightclub, El Caribe, which is a drug dealers' ideal spot for business. But Bobby Green's life isn't what it seems. His father, Burt Grusinsky (Duvall) is chief of the NYPD and his brother, (Walhberg), is a presti- gious lieutenant of the NYPD. Lt. Grusinsky is trying to seek out a Russian gangster, who is known to be dangerous and in the drug business, when he goes to Green for help in getting information from the inside. Afraid of his prominent status being jeopardized and lack of concern for the police officers who have become victims in the department's war on drugs, Green turns down his brother's request. The world as he knew it was changed when his brother became the next police officer to fall victim to the hit-men of Russian gangster Vadim Nezhinski (Alex Veadov). Bobby Green is forced to decide which side of the spectrum to be on: the drug dealers or the police.
