Newmark will be walking in the fall graduation ceremonies and using the U.S. Border Patrol Academy as internship credits. Mendoza will now take over Newmark's workload and perks, receiving 80 percent of his tuition paid. His appointment came because of his experience and the fact that he, "does what needs to get done," according to Lunden. "(Mendoza) is in line, goal-wise, with what we want to get done," Lunden said. One ofthose things will be the consolidation of senate meetings from two per month to one. Lunden hopes the move will push more students to become involved if they are only committing to a monthly meeting. One meeting will also help "maximize time," according to the President. With two meetings becoming one, Lunden says he is not worried about the meetings becoming lengthy as senators will be given an agenda Student Cooperative Council (SCC) will officially get started with the year's first senate meeting on Sept. 24, but President Chris Lunden has been working on changes for the student government all summer. Luden, who ran unopposed last spring, officially replaced former President Will Dowd on May 15. His summer has been filled with organizing training for his nine-person executive board, which was held in late August, and senate, which will occur at the first meeting. The executive board, which consists of three elected positions, President, Vice President and Treasurer will include a different face at Vice President then the spring ticket suggested.

The Lock Haven Council of Trustees has increased the late payment fee from $30 to $50. For students who are returning to the university after more than a semester, must reactivate their account. The returning student deposit, which used to be $35, has increased to $200. The vast majority of students do pay their bills on time, according to Student Financial Services Office. By increasing the fee amounts, the office is hoping that even more students will have more encouragement to begin paying their bills on time. This means that more of the office's time can be : /Adam Roberts/Eagle Eye Kelvin McLean, senior, checks his text messages on campus.

The university joined the more than 250 colleges and universities, last year, in efforts to improve communication to students in the event of everything from a snow day to an emergency situation. "The University is always looking for additional measures to ensure the best communication to the campus community in the event of an emergency," said Scott Eldredge, director of web development.

These fees do not change often but changes can occur at any time and it is the responsibility of the Council of Trustees to do this. LHU took a survey of the other 13 schools that make the up State Pennsylvania of System Higher Education (PASSHE) and found that they have fixed late fees. Lock Haven will enforce the late payment fee if a student owes more than $100. Financial Services requests that students contact them if they have any problems paying their bills on time. Loans, for instance, may take a while, and as long as the office knows that the funds are on their way, there will be no late fee for the student.

Bruner has recently joined the department as a first semester assistant professor on the tenured track. Bruner has a bachelor's degree in psychology and in music therapy from Oberlin College in Ohio. She completed her doctorate degree in counseling psychology in 1997 at the University of Pittsburgh. During her career, she has worked at various college campuses including here at the Haven where she took over for Dr. Dan Tess for a semester as the director LHU of Counseling Services. Five years ago, Bruner opened an office in downtown Lock Haven. She is looking forward to teaching here this semester and for semesters to come. Dr. Tara Mitchell, a fourth year psychology professor added, "Dr. Bruner is a wonderful addition to the department. She combines a strong commitment to the practice of psychology and the research of psychology, making her an excellent instructor and mentor." Q: What classes are you teaching this semester and in the future? A: I am teaching three sections of adolescent psychology and a section of writing in psychology this semester. In future semesters, I plan on teaching some skill classes such as psychotherapy and counseling skills, as well as theories of personality. I am also really excited about teaching health psychology, which has not been offered at this university for some time. Q: What are you most looking forward to this semester? A: I am looking forward to getting to know the psychology majors and having a longer lasting connection with the students from the beginning of their education till the end. Amber Haeberle/Eagle Eye Q: What made you come to LHU to apply for a teaching position? A: I have worked on a lot of college campuses as a counselor, and I realized that the teaching element came easily to me. It was a medium with which to put together everything I know. I also love this department because there are many experienced professors here who are still excited about learning more. Dr. Lynn Bruner became a new addition to the psychology department and is looking forward to knowing the psychology majors better and loves the department here. Q: Can you give any advice to the students in your classes? A: Read your textbook and also read for fun... if you want to learn to write you should read. Reading teaches you how to see the world through someone else's perspective and this will help you to be a better clinician, teacher, etc. Q: What do you do for leisure activities?

(Haven Outreach Program for Empowerment), is cosponsoring a Domestic Violence Awareness Vigil on Oct. 1. Dr. SueAnn Schatz, the Women's Studies Program coordinator, has high hopes for what this vigil can help to achieve. "I've always believed that part of being a feminist is actively trying to help women in the community," she said. "A vigil such as this can help women who have been victims of domestic violence to heal, and it can make others aware that such violence is happening and needs to be stopped." The vigil is a collaborative effort, working with the Clinton County Women's Center as well. Schatz explained that with this vigil the organizers are asking attendees to bring a donation (sweatshirts and sweatpants, especially larger sizes, flip-flops, linens, toiletries, canned food, office supplies, or money) for the Clinton County Women's Center. "We hope people will become more aware of and more active in stopping domestic violence." she said. At the vigil, LHU professors, as well as the director of the CCWC, are going to share their own personal views on domestic violence. "We're currently trying to get the provost to speak as well," Schatz said. Students attending the vigil will also be able to hear fellow classmates' personal experiences with domestic violence, as well as read poetry and talk about the significance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Ribbons will also be passed out. Dr. Laurie Cannady, an assistant professor in the English department, said that both male and female students will be present, as it is important to remember that all are affected by the issue. "Domestic violence is traumatic to witness, as well as to experience," she said. "Males need to know that they can also receive help, if they know of someone who has been, or is being, victimized. It needs to be addressed that no one is immune." Dr. Nicole BurkholderMosco, a member of the H.O.P.E. Advisory Board and a member of the Women's Studies Committee, believes that there are many things the vigil can accomplish. To her, the most important goals to achieve are elevating the awareness on campus of domestic violence and encouraging those who may be survivors of domestic violence to realize they are not alone. "Help is out there," she said. "It is very hard for a survivor to talk about his or her experiences, and these memories can haunt a person for a lifetime." The main goal of the vigil is to bring awareness on campus and to the community, to truly instill the knowledge that this still happens, and can hit close to home. As an example of domestic violence happening in this particular community, Cannady remembered the tragedy that took place in the Sheetz parking lot on April 8 of last year. A woman, named Jodi Barrone, was killed by her husband in the process of exchanging their child. The man pulled out .a gun, shot her and then shot himself. Cannady also explained how she herself experienced domestic violence at the age of 15 and then again at 19. "I was in the military at that point; strong, with a firm self-esteem. I didn't expect to be tangled in that web again," she said. "This vigil is to honor all women affected, to show them that we do care, that we are here to teach and to help and we are truly dedicated to empowering women. We want them to know that there is someone they can turn to for support, whether their experiences lie at home or here in Lock Haven. We want our students to leave with their degrees feeling stronger than any bruises, internal or external, they may be hiding." According to a compiled research by the American Bar approximateAssociation, ly 1.3 million women and 835,000 men are physically assaulted by an intimate partner annually in the U.S. "Stalking, date rape, abuse, murder - these are all things we hope to shed light on with this vigil. It is necessary to draw attention to safety. The statistics are alarming, and college campuses are just a small fraction ofthe big picture we're looking at. Every day in America, three women are killed which is more than 1200 a year. Something needs to be done," said Dr. Elizabeth Gruber, an assistant professor in the English department. Schatz also pointed out that 25 percent of all women will be victims of domestic violence. Therefore, more awareness and education are needed to end this epidemic. "Domestic violence is a crime that remains hidden because many of its victims are either too ashamed or too scared to report it or get themselves out of their situation," Schatz said. "If we're all more aware of the signs of domestic violence, hopefully we'll be courageous enough to act and help women out." According to Dr. Lisette Schillig, an assistant professor in the English department, this vigil is an extremely important event for LHU, 1 I 2IC L Add taqk St £ed Mam 3>a. 17745 Tues-Thurs: 11-8:30 I I HACBig Screen Movie Price Auditorium 7:00 pm Sept. 20, Saturday HACNYC Bus Trip Young Frankenstein New York City, NY 7:00 am Homecoming Student Activities Office 8 am to 4pm Sept 24, Wednesday SCC Senate Meeting PUB 2 6:00 pm Sept. 25, Thursday HAC Think Fast Game Price Auditorium 7:00 pm HAC Big Screen Movie Price Auditorium 7:00 pm HAC Coffee House featuring Tyrone Wells Price Auditorium 7:00 pm Applications Available I I I I Including: steak, seafood, pasta, chicken & sandwiches.

Expecting to utilize East Campus, H.O.P.E. is waiting for the final approval, striving to be opened by the end of the fall semester. "We'd like to have artwork on the walls, sponsor talks and readings, have videos, books and discussions. It should be a place for students to go to start healing," said Gruber. According to Cannady, domestic violence is a violation of trust. "We would like to help reestablish that trust. It is essential that students feel free to open up, start a dialogue, learn to trust someone and put the pieces back together." The vigil, which will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Russell Lawn, should last approximately an hour and will end with candlelight to promote unity. Cannady said, "We hope to create an impact, just by being there and showing support. Most importantly, it will create awareness in students, leaving with the knowledge that you may have saved someone's life just by listening."

"A huge turnout for this vigil on October first will send the message that here at LHU, and here in Lock Haven, domestic violence is real," she said. "It is a form of oppression that crosses gender, class, ethnic and racial lines. It concerns each of us, and it be tolerated. won't Acknowledging the existence of a problem is the first step to solving it. That's what this vigil is all about."

Favorite Quote: "When given ruled paper, write the other way," by Juan Ramon Jiminez But after the tragic, incident at Virginia Tech last spring, the system became an ideal way of informing students, faculty, and staff, of any emergency situations on campus. While students are not required to sign up for the system, it is definitely a good idea to do so. "The text-messaging technology is one of the newer opportunities available and was a good method to add to our other means of reaching students, faculty and staff quickly and efficiently," said Eldredge. The system, which is only used for emergency situations, is free, but standard text messaging rates may apply. If a student does not want to sign up for the text-message system, it isn't anything to worry about. The information about inclement weather or emergency situations will still be available on the homepage of the LHU website. "I think that in the event of an emergency, it's certainly a good idea to find the medium that reaches students efficiently and effectively," said Dr. Richard Van Dyke, an assistant professor of English.

Click the icon and follow the instructions to register your information and cell number. "Being as so many people on campus have cell phones, this system is clearly the best way of sending out an alert," said Eldredge. Students need to remember that they need to re-register at the beginning of each school Some students unofficially withdraw for personal reasons and simply do not register for next term. Once a student is out for a semester or more, they must go to the Registrar's office and complete request to return paperwork. Because this takes much effort and the cooperation of multiple departments across campus, including Financial Services and Student Accounts, the deposit amount was raised to year, as the system is cleaned out each spring when classes end. "It was a good way to test the system for its efficiency, which proved very effective and received a lot of positive feedback." said Eldredge.

That shouldn't surprise or shock anyone. It happens. I have noticed recently that a lot of the talk in the cafeteria has been about students getting away with being intoxicated. Not just that, but they have been allowed back into their dorms at night. Whether this is rumor or the truth I shouldn't have to be worried with the fact that it is happening somewhere on campus, as a student I shouldn't be babysitting others who decide to drink. If this is in fact happening, I want to honestly know why the RA's and RD's are letting this go on. Situations are not being thought through entirely or then again, maybe some people just are not to be trusted with this form of power; the answer will remain unclear to me. It is allowing this campus to slowing be destroyed by the selected individuals who make the choice to get drunk, get high, then get away with going to the dorm. Ultimately these individuals who are making it through will ruin the experience for all the other students who choose not do anything at all. It's one thing to get plastered off campus and keep it off campus, it's another thing to bring it Sarah Cox back and pass whatever is left around. I personally think it is ridiculous that some individuals are allowed to just walk over any form of rules or regulations the school makes just because they wanted to have fun. When it's keeping people up at two in the morning, something needs to change. We will as a whole suffer, mainly educational wise and that's just wrong. I did not come to school to drink every night, I came for the learning and social experience, not the drunken experience. So the next time you decide to drink, think about whether or not you have a place to sleep because if you don't you better find a cardboard box to spend the rest of the night in.

This is because; you see last Wednesday marked the twentieth year of my existence of this earth. Though I knew that this day would eventually come, and in the weeks leading up to this day I wondered what my reaction would be as I turned the "Big 2-0", I can not sincerely say that I was prepared for the shock that came over me as the realization of actually turning twenty hit me. It's not that I feel old or that I somehow think that my life is ruined or over because I am no longer a teenager, I just want to know where the time went.

No, the time did not just magically disappear and we cannot go and dig it up in a treasure chest somewhere under an "X", we lived it. Every second of our lives goes by just as fast a6 the next, good or bad. And like it or not, we cannot get that time back, we can only hope to do better the next time. So as I look back at these twenty years, I realize that life is too short to worry about things that you cannot control. Time will pass at the same rate a6 it always does, but it takes such a milestone as being two decades old to make you appreciate the time that you wish away. I can remember times when I am sitting in class just wishing that it was an hour later or it was two days from that point. Now, as I sit in class, I still don't want to be in class, but I never wish away that time. I just appreciate it and go with the flow. So, what have I learned in the past twenty years? I have learned that I know nothing, but I'm willing to do better and learn all that I can. As I see it, everyday and experience is an opportunity, an opportunity to do better then before and to make a better future.

Wynne's biggest moment of the week came against in the rainy contest against Cornell at Charolette E. Smith Field on Friday evening. The Lady Eagles were trailing by 2-1 as the clock showed less than two minutes to play. Wynne, who scored the team's first goal off of a corner where she was assisted by Alanna Lewis and Suzann Hobart earlier in the second half, laced in a hard shot, knotting the game 2-2. In the seven on seven, sudden death overtime period Coach Pat Rudy says she was confident she could put a better lineup on the field than the opposition even though she admitted the Lady Eagles didn't play their best game up to that point. Less than seven minutes into the period Wynne and sophomore Amy Hordendorf broke away towards the goal. The two passed back and forth with Hordendorf, the week one NEC Player of the Week, drawing out the goalkeeper and laying a perfect leading pass to Wynne.

The invitational consisted of three matches for Lock Haven. Match one was held Friday night against C.W. Post, and matches two and three were held on Saturday against Ohio Valley and Wilmington. The Lady Eagles swept the competition during all three matches, leaving Coach Tom Justice very pleased. "The team played very well, generally speaking," said Justice. "I was very pleased with their performances overall." Key players for the outside attacks were Christie Naumann and Christina Laury who both played "very well," according to Justice. Naumann raked in 14 kills. Justice also said that Stacy Borgia and Haley Gribler were strong middle players. The game's number one setter, according to Justice was Fabianna Gomez with Caroline Acosta as the number two setter. Justice Elizabeth complimented Metzmaier for her two kills out of four during five days the match against Ohio Valley and Arlana Roland for three kills out of six during the match Juliana against Wilmington. Nascimento was also recognized for playing the right side very well. "This weekend was a complete team effort, though," said Justice. "We were able to use virtually everyone on the team." Justice believes that a strong component in the matches was the team's combination attack, which he compared volleyball to football, in that good control is key for a good offense.

With that win, the Bald Eagles extend their unbeaten streak to four after dropping the first three games of the season. "I feel like we are finally hitting our stride with the past few games. We had a slow start but all our games were away which can be difficult but now we are figuring it out," said Andrew Clemens, junior midfielder. Over this past weekend, LHU headed north to New York to take on Molloy College on Friday and then Mercy College on Sunday. In the game against Mercy, the Bald Eagles struck first at the 19th minute with Clemens netting not only the first goal for Lock Haven, but also his first of the season. The lead was short-lived as Mercy tied it up less then a minute later. The second and winning goal for Lock Haven came at the 64th minute, with Mark Auman sending a corner kick to Paul Photo Courtesy of Sports Information LHU's Paul Huckett, number nine, scored the game-winning goal in the overtime game against California University. The goal was the first the Bald Eagles had scored at Hubert Jack Stadium. Brungard, who sent past the Mercy goalie for his first goal ever for LHU. This was an example of some of the younger players stepping up for the team, which is what Coach Doug Moore likes to see. "The freshmen as a group have done well," said Moore. The first game in the roadtrip saw the Bald Eagles come to a draw against Molloy College with a score of 1-1. Lock Haven kept it close with Molloy the whole game until the 83rd minute when Greg Shertzer got LHU's lone goal of the game. While Molloy was able to come back shortly after that, LHU would hang tough for the 20 minutes of overtime to get the tie. The tie was the first since October of 2006 for the Bald Eagles. While the success was seen away from home, the Bald Eagles earned their first victory at home for the season. The victory wasn't only the first of the season, but also the first at the Bald Eagles new playing field at Hubert Jack Stadium.

The program also gives students the option to double major if they wish to purse a teaching certification or add another major. Once accepted into the program the students are assigned to a sports team for the entire season. They arrive early and prepare for the practices and games and do not leave until every athlete is taken care of after the games. The students are expected to dress and act professional while on "duty" and receive grades and evaluation on their performance in the training room. The students of the athletic training program, while holding a full-time academic schedule, play a huge role of the athlete's physical health. The men's soccer coach, Doug Moore, said that having the athletes present at every game is "Absolutely vital to the coaching staff due to the ankle and knee injuries along with the minor injuries that need to be tended to such as bumps, bruises, strains and blisters. This is a big help to the athletic training faculty due to the fact that all athletes could not be tended to without the students. "Between games is when (the trainers) do their work" says Moore. "They do their best to give me the most athletes to play for each game." The students of the athletic training program also feel that it is a great program because it gives them the education need- tradition," said Moore. On Tuesday, Sept. 9, the Bald Eagles faced off fellow against State Pennsylvania Athletic Conference foe, California (Pa.) University with LHU winning in 1-0 in overtime.

The students have a close working relationship with our professor which is great, not only in the classroom, but the clinical setting as well. It gives us an extension from the classroom because of the hands on experience. What we learn in the classroom is what we do with the athletes." The athletic training program has come a long way since 1977. It was started by Mr. David Tomasi, who was the sole professor of the program teaching a total of eight students. Currently however, the program consists of six full-time professors who not only teach full class schedules in the health science department but also serve as trainers for all varsity athletic teams. Tomasi was inducted into Athletic Pennsylvania Trainers' Society Hall of Fame in 2001. Getz wasn't the only Bald Eagle to place in the top five; in fact LHU had two other runners place in the top five in the men's race. Nick Hilton came in second with a time of 26:24.59 and Brandon Pomerantz came in third with 26:24.00. While those three came in the top they weren't the only top runners to do well. Mitch Miller took fifth place with a time of 26:49.08 and Andrew Johnson took ninth place with a time of 27:04.24. With the top five runners coming in at first, second, third, fifth and ninth, LHU was able to score 20 points and take first place. "It felt really good to bring this win home on our own turf in front of the LHU fans and parents, it's always a little bit sweeter to have a good day at home," said Nick Hilton. While the men's team experience success in the meet, the women's team ran hard to take second place in the meet with three runners finishing in the top ten. "It's the best performance we've had at this meet by our team, however, and I really believe in this group of women. I think they've got a lot of spunk and are hungry to go after it here later in the within the first two minutes of the overtime period when Paul Huckett took a free kick outside the California goal, despite it being hit by a California defender the ball found its way to the goal for the Lock Haven win. "The game against California really sticks out in my mind because I felt like that was the first game where almost everyone was on their top game," said Clemens. Lock Haven will look to extend their unbeaten streak as they, at press time, had played New York Institute of Technology at Hubert Jack Stadium. "The last couple of games have all been tough, especially with six of the first seven on the road, and staying away from home the last two weekends in N.Y. and Pittsburgh. I feel like team chemistry has built on away trips. Even though we have been away so much, we look forward to home support for upcoming games," said Bill Trimble, goal keeper. After the game against NYIT the Bald Eagles will go on another roadtrip, which will be their last featuring consecutive games on the road for the regular season. They will go to Shippensburg University on Saturday .Sept. 20 and then to Slippery Rock University on Tuesday, Sept. 23. season," said Russell. Shala Simms was the top women's runner for Lock Haven as she came in third place with a time 23:01.82 minutes. Lindsay Lambert followed closely behind with a time 23:06.48. The only other Lady Eagle to break into the top ten was Alyssa Douma, as she took eighth place with 23:27.25. 'The lady's took second but we were very strong and next time the outcome will be different," said Lambert. The women's team was able to take second place with the top five runners getting third, fourth, eighth, sixteenth and eighteenth, giving them 49 points and second place in the meet.

The women's soccer team collected back-toback wins after defeating PSAC West opponent Edinboro and the Lady Cats of the University of Pittsburgh- Johnstown. "We worked as a team and had good passing and combinations," said Gordon.

Football suffers tough defeat against Ship's Red Raiders From, Field Hockey, Bl Wynne turned on her increasingly legendary speed, laid out and tapped the ball in for her third goal of the game. "I didn't even think about it until some one said hat trick," Wynne said of her performance. According to Rudy, Wynne's exceptional game is a product of her speed. "I would put her against anyone in the country," Rudy said. "If Blair gets space; it's over." Riding high from the emotion of an overtime thriller served as a motivator for Wynne coming into the next contest. Wynne says she wasn't as motivated to win again as she was to avoid back-toback overtime games. On Sunday, the Lady Eagles were back on the field against Lafayette, for what Rudy called the team's best game all season. Lafayette came to LHU with high hopes after beating No. 19 ranked Temple, but the Lady Eagles were able to frustrate them early. "They had trouble adjusting to our press," Rudy said. Wynne struck first in the 3-1 win with a dragflick goal off of a penalty corner. In the second half Amy Hordendorf and freshman Kristi Shepps notfehed goals for the Lady Eagles. Midfielder Megan Albert also had a noteworthy game according to Rudy. Teamwork was key in Sunday's victory, and Wynne attributes the effort to Rudy's pep talk and the team understanding their assignments. "We were knocking the ball around, working as a team," Wynne said. "(Rudy) talked to us in the locker room and everyone knows what she wanted them to do." On Wednesday the Lady Eagles traveled to LaSalle University before returning home to face Colgate at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Nikki Wasserman / Eagle Eye The Bald Eagles' offensive line protected Quarterback Jarryd Burkett during Saturday's home game against Shippensburg's Red Raiders, where he earned 53 passing yards. Shippensburg came out on top with a score of 36-0. Brandon Apter Sports Reporter bapterf" lhup.edu The football team (0-3) suffered a tough defeat to the Red Raiders of Shippensburg this past Saturday at home. The Haven fcould not put up consistent drives and failed to make the big plays. Ship would receive the ball first, using up five minutes of clock to set up a 28-yard field goal that was missed by kicker Kyler Ford. This would give the Bald Eagles a chance to capitalize on a Ship mistake. They would not get any luck as LHU would go three-and-out after a holding penalty. Ship running back Chris Infante would find a hole in the defense as he rushed for 21 yards before finally punching it into the end zone for an early 7-0 Ship lead. After two incomplete passes and a two-yard rush on the next Haven possession, they would have to punt again setting the Red Raiders to score again. Behind Quarterback Chad DiFebbo, Ship drove the ball down the field in just over four minutes and handed it to Chris Infante for another 'score. They would miss the extra point as Ship would take a 13-0 lead early in the second quarter. On the next Bald Eagle drive, they got their first 1st down of the night thanks to the rushing plays by freshman Jarryd Quarterback Burkett. Burkett had his second start under center on Saturday and it was a learning experience. "It is a great feeling knowing that I am only a freshmen and this will help me get better for years to come," said Burkett. Ship would score once more before the half as DiFebbo would hit receiver Mike Harris for a 24yard score after a costly Lock Haven fumble. A two point conversion attempt would fail as the teams went into the locker room with Ship leading 19-0 at half. The second half was not much different as Brad Catherman rushed in for a score to give Ship a 26-0 lead. The Red Raiders would tack on another TU and a field goal to close the game out 36-0. The bright spot for LHU in the second half was a recovered fumble that set them up with great field position only to be forgotten by an interception on the next play. Freshman Jarryd Burkett finished the day 12-for-28 for 53 yards and an interception. Micah Coleman would lead receivers with two catches and 15 yards while Cameron caught three passes for 14 yards. On the defensive side, Shane Baric led all with 9 tackles and Aaron Pryor and Shawn Crebs would contribute with seven a piece. Looking back on the game, Coach John Klacik saw some things that were good and some that needed work. "I think our special teams our playing very well. We need to develop a running game," he said. "I think Burkett has handled the position well and will continue to develop into a super signal caller." Burkett and the rest of the Bald Eagles have a tough test ahead as they travel to No. 21 IUP on Sept. 20. Last season LHU fell to IUP at home 44-13. I UP is coming off of a convincing 63-3 victory over Millersville in week three.

"A good analogy *is when the blocking pocket is broken down in football, all your plays come down to that... it's just the same with volleyball, except it's not blocking, it's passing," said Justice. "We have to pass up with very good control in order for the setter to set the offense. "You can tell if the setter had the ability to create good offense by how the middle attackers play... the setter then sends the ball to the hitter." Justice said that these combination attacks have been a focus for the team, because success relies on good ball control. "We're starting to gain momentum (as a team)," said Justice. Our confidence level is growing and that is very important when going into PSAC play." Justice said that their match against Shippensburg, which was held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, was their number one competition in the eastern division, as far as polls go, but the Lady Eagles pulled through, winning their matches 25 to 23, 25 to 20 and 25 to 13. Naumann and Borgia led the kills with 10 each, and kill percentages (which are much like batting averages, said Justice), were high. Borgia's kill percentage was 500, Naumann's was 368, Nascimento's 421 and Gribler "came through big time" with a 600 kill percentage. According to Justice, Gomez had 33 assists, and in a normal game, 11 or 12 are considered "pretty good." Leading the digs for the ladies was Laury with followed seven, by Naumann and Borgia who had five digs each. Borgia and Nascimento also brought in three block assists each. "This is definitely the kind of beginning we like to see," said Justice. "It puts us in the driver's seat, having beaten our number two and number three. But, we still have a lot of work to do." Sept. 11 still vivid for Illini gymnast Meghan Montemurro Sept. 11, 2008 U-Wire Seven years ago, 12year-old Daniel Ribeiro sat in a classroom as a at seventh-grader Cavallini Middle School in Upper Saddle River, N.J., about a 15-minute drive from Manhattan. It was a typical Tuesday, that tragic Sept. 11, 2001, though that is often said of generationchanging events. The Chestnut Ridge, N.Y., native first sensed something was happening when all the teachers left the classrooms. "We were like, 'What's going on?'" the current Illini gymnast said. "We had no idea what was going on." As the teachers convened outside, the middle school students looked on in confusion. Soon after, Ribeiro and his fellow classmates were given an early recess, at which point the now-Illinois sophomore saw smoke in the sky. "We could see the smoke. We didn't know what was going on. We had no idea," Ribeiro said. As the school day progressed, kids were pulled from school, though Ribeiro was not. 'There were 500 people in my school, about, and I think there were only around 100 at the end of the day," said Ribeiro. "In my last class there were only, I think, three kids and we were just looking out the window watching the other kids leave one by one." Still out of the loop on the day's events, Ribeiro was greeted by his then eight-year-old sister, Alexandra, as she ran up to him and told him the devastating news; the World Trade Center fell, which his father, John, confirmed as he got into the car. Ribeiro couldn't believe it. After arriving home, Ribeiro watched the television coverage of the attacks and came to realize the smoke he saw during recess came from the World Trade Center. The attacks on the Twin Towers hit close to home and not just in proximity. The father of Ribeiro's best friend, Bryan Teaton, was a police officer in New York. Officer Mike Teaton had a meeting on floor 107 in the North Tower. Running late, Teaton grabbed a quick breakfast with fellow police officer Moira Smith. Approximately two minutes later, American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower. Thinking it was a bomb, Teaton went down to check the basement and subway to gather and assist people while Smith headed up into the World Trade Center. When the building collapsed at 10:28 a.m., Teaton was in the subway system, which ultimately saved his life, and escaped by walking through to the next street stop. Unfortunately, Smith did not survive the tower's fall. She was the only female police officer to die on Sept. 11. "Although it was great that he survived and helped save people's lives, for the next two weeks he was devastated, digging through the remains looking for her," Ribeiro said of Teaton. "You realize how easy it is to lose somebody, how something like this just like that," Ribeiro said with a snap of his fingers. "One of my friends, boom, lost his father. Anybody ca,n be gone at any moment." The day's devastating events impacted Ribeiro's personal relationships as well as his gymnastics life. The final words spoken by Flight 93 passenger Jeremy Glick reverberated across the country on that fateful day: "We're going to rush the hijackers." Glick's daughter Emerson was only three months old when the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 crashed just outside Shanksville, Pa., en route to Washington, D.C. - SUMMER END SAVINGS!

This will be her fourth season, and still today, she has an undeniable connection to the players. Davis, originally from Massachusetts, had 11 years of coaching prior to coming to the university. She was an assistant coach from 1997-1998 at and Lee Washington University, and also held the position as head coach at Mellon Carnegie University from 1998 to 2005. At Carnegie she guided the Tartans to a 67-44-12 record and allowed them to participate in the East Athletic Collegiate Conference (ECAC) MidAtlantic tournament Championships in 2003 as well as 2004. These experiences alone show the promise that Davis has to offer. Davis enjoys playing soccer as well as coaching it. In high school, she was involved in track and was also a member of the ski team. In college, Davis not only participated in soccer for four years, she also learned the intense sport of lacrosse. Davis was also a Plymouth State College player. She earned Second Team Regional All American honor as a midfielder in 1994 and 1995. That following year, Davis earned her B.S. in Physical Education/Exercise Science. Davis later moved on to the of North University Carolina at Chapel Hill to complete her M.A. in Education/ Physical Sports Administration. According to Davis there is a difference between college and high school intensity levels. "There is certainly a higher time commitment between high school and college. As a player matures the level naturally gets higher, faster. I enjoy working with young adults at the college level and the challenges that presents. High school coaching has a different set of challenges, I would imagine," said Davis. Her insight to the world of not only women's soccer, but college sports, allows a better understanding of the demands that come along with coaching. Not only does the intensity level grow, so does the demand to have a strong and driven coach. Davis has those characteristics. She seems to be the kind of coach that, no matter what the game comes down to, she knows that her team has the ability to win; it is just unleashing that threat. When asked about viewing her life from a different perspective and what she would be doing Glick's nephew, who was only six or seven at the time, was "extremely upset" when he arrived at U.S. Gymnastics Development Center II, which is both owned and run by Ribeiro's parents, John and Michelle. Emerson is now a gymnast training at the center they've seen their dad or their brother, in the sense it hit a little harder, hit at home," Ribeiro said. When asked if it seemed like the attacks and fall of the World Trade Center had happened seven years ago, Ribeiro replied, "Not at all. I feel like it was two, three years ago. in New Jersey. "It's still something For an event which that I feel like nobody many people can pinshould ever forget and point when and where everyone should look at it they first heard' of the as a day to really look at attacks, things were put your friends and farmhin perspective for Ribeiro, and can't take them for even at a relatively young granted, because this can happen at any time." age.

She said, *'I enjoy the teaching/learning aspect of coaching very much, so that would keep me in the education field." Seeing that Davis has this attraction to teaching and learning from others makes her a better coach ultimately. When Davis is not supporting her team out of the game field or practice field, she coaches with the Pennsylvania West State Organization and is a member of the region 1 coaching staff. Davis also holds a USSF "A" coaching license above everything else. Many believe Davis is an inspirational person and coach. She has much to offer not only the university's sports organizations but the school as well. She is a strong woman who deserves much recognition for all of her duties and positive lifestyle. the Ribeiro family's gym as well. "This was a time we needed to come together, to work together because there were people that were hurting, families that were devastated and everyone needed to help those people." Ribeiro said he grew up a lot that year and realized what was most important to him. "That was a time period that, for me, I really found my close friends and who I cared about and who I needed to spend time with," Ribeiro said. "You can't take it for granted. Spending time with your friends and your family is that much more important."

Internship Spotlight: behind action Amanda Alexander Features Editor aalexan3" lhup.edu Many times while watching the news, we are just about to change the channel when something catches our attention and makes us stop. If watched WTAE you Channel 4 Action News, Pittsburgh, this summer, that something may have been Becca Gregg. Gregg was a summer intern with WTAE, the No. 22 news station in the country, which covers all of western Pennsylvania, as well as some areas of Maryland, West Virginia and Ohio. This was Gregg's first internship. As one of two interns the promotions departin ment, Gregg had a variety of duties from,day to day. "There were so many responsibilities," she said, adding that.although she only did the internship for three credits, she typically worked five days a week from 10-5, as there was too much work to be done for only a few hours a week. Gregg spent plenty of time doing "promotional writing," for upcoming newscasts. Those little snippets in between your favorite TV shows that give you a preview of the upcoming news can be just as important as the news itself- they keep you watching. She also wrote a daily promotional email that puts synopses together of all the shows and their most important topics. Gregg's description of a typical day starts out with catching up on the day's headlines. Gregg and her fellow intern spent most mornings reading news updates on the computer, as reporters sent in updates from their Blackberries. The interns would watch the news at noon and attend a meeting with producers at 1:45 to go over everything that needed to be prepared for the 5 p.m". news. After hearing the top stories planned, Gregg would write a promotion for the evening to get people to "stay tuned" for whatever was coming up that night and get video from reporters to accompany the promotion. On top of these daily tasks, Gregg spent plenty of time planning events.

News anchors, reporters and meteorologists from the Channel 4 Action News team make appearances in the park and sign autographs. For this event, Gregg was in charge of calling and booking entertainment and booking vendors. Although her internship was unpaid, Gregg still found it to be a rewarding experience on many levels. "I loved going in every day," Gregg said. Her favorite aspect of the internship was becoming a part of the team. "They really treat like an employee there," she said, adding that she didn't know what to expect on the first day but "we didn't have to get coffee once." One of Gregg's favorite aspects of working at a news station was getting the inside scoop. "I loved being an insider," she said. Gregg got to hear about news as it was happening instead of after the fact, and one of her most exciting moments on the job was going out on the beat with one of the anchor Sally Wiggin. "I got to talk to her so much," she said excitedly. ', Gregg said she would recommend her internship to anyone who's interested in working in TV. "It was such a good experience," Gregg said, adding that the internship confirmed her career path and made her feel like she's in the right major.

Freshman Willy Trahten said, "Every day between classes I go Professor teaches how to listen Olga Burket News Editor omalyavs(«lhup.edu To many, asking questions, giving advice and reassuring one's partner in conversation are the signs of a good listener. To Richard "Dick" Fetzer, an elementary education instructor at LHU and the author of a recently released book, "Please Listen to Me!: A Christian's Guide to Reflective Listening," those and seven other things are so-called "stumbling blocks" that inhibit effective communication. "It's unfortunate that people in our culture really do not know how to listen with their heart to someone else," Fetzer said. "In reality, if you have just one person in your life who really listens to you without giving advice or judging or bombarding you with questions, you are a very fortunate person. Many people have no one in their lives who will really listen to them." The author admits that he witnessed many times how powerful and freeing it can be as one person sincerely listens to another, and it was his desire that people would learn to real- ly listen that inspired him to write the book. "Please Listen to Me!" is Fetzer's first book, the rough draft of which was started in 2001. Three years later, his wife, Joanne Luree Fetzer who has a degree in English education, began to edit what he had originally written. "She is the reason I completed the book. She was beside me every step of the way and I will be forever grateful for such a dedicated wife," said Fetzer. After about three more years of writing, proofreading, editing and rewriting, the book was sent to the publisher in August of 2007, and it was finally released in June 2Q08. Fetzer based his book on the idea ofreflective listening, which he was first introduced to in 1972 at a workshop for teachers on LHU campus. "It is interesting to me how I have come full circle... This campus is really where it all started for me, and I think it's neat that it's also where I've been while writing the book, and it's where I'll probably end my academic career," he said. According to him, reflective listening con- sists of hearing accurately what another person tries to communicate through words and body language. The author explained that reflective listeners rephrase what the speaker is saying and then await Richard Fetzer clarification that they have heard the speaker accurately. Unfortunately, becoming a better listener is harder than it seems, as there are many bad habits or "stumbling blocks" that can affect a person's ability to listen. In his book, Fetzer reflects on how to avoid the 10 most common communication problems and Lock Haven University 's Filmmakers and Artists Alliance Organization Interested in making movies?

According to him, these blocks are asking questions, advice, giving answering questions, selfeditorializing, changing the subject, reassuring the speaker, pretending to listen, not attending the speaker, not providing the proper physical setting and telling the speaker, "I know exactly how you feel!" In his weblog at http://richardfetzer.author weblog.com, Fetzer states that asking questions is one of the most misleading, yet the most common tactics used in conversation, as people are taught that it is a great way to draw someone into conversation. However, asking questions will not bring the desired results because, as Fetzer explains, nobody wants to feel interrogated. "Listening with your heart is not about you; it's always about the other person. Asking questions makes it about you and what you want to gain," he said. The author called his book "A Christian's Guide to Reflective Listening" because he considers himself a Christian and provides a lot of spiritual encouragement throughout his book. "I have seen too many Christians hurt others when they actually thought they were being helpful. I know that many Christians have good intentions and a strong desire to help others, but when it comes to listening too many do not know how to truly focus on the other person," he said. "It is my prayer that everyone, but especially Christians, will learn this skill so that they can truly share God's love and allow hope and healing to take place in the lives of others." Fetzer said that he had become a Christian only a few months before he was introduced to the skill of reflective listening. He gives much credit to God for inspiring him to learn this skill and for giving him the motivation and perseverance to write the book that can help people become better listeners. "People are often overwhelmed by their emotions and need someone to help them untangle them. Many times a person will have a need to share something that is bothering him or her, but there is no one who will really listen to them," said Fetzer, explaining why it is important to improve one's listening skills. Born in Bellefonte, Pa., Fetzer was an elementary teacher for 35 years before retiring from the public school system in 2002, Since then, he has been teaching on the university level at LHU in the early childhood and elementary education departments. "It has been interesting to have in class some of the children of my former students," sixth-grade Fetzer said. "This year I even have a student in my 204 course who I taught in the third grade!" Together with his wife Joanna, Fetzer founded People to People Ministries in 2004 to offer seminars on learning styles and communication skills. "It is my passion to equip others with a skill that can improve all their relationships - that of reflective listening," he said.

Amanda Alexander Features Editor aalexan3@lhup.edu In a short story called Toi Dericotte reflects on a conversation between two fourth-grade boys in which one tells the other he couldn't be Dericotte's son because his skin is black while Dericotte's skin appears to be white. Dericotte says, "Kin," Maddox-Hafer said Dericotte was chosen because of her unique perspective, which adds to the diversity ofthe program. "She's very open about the things she struggles with," Maddox-Hafer said, that adding Dericotte's "hard-hitting prose... deals with issues of race, class and gender... and about being a writer, too." *\\\\\ L -W Photo courtesy ofMahorie Maddox-Hafer Toi Dericotte writes poetry and prose about issues like race, class, gender and being a writer. "Schools with predominantly white children want to teach the concept of the human family by including pictures of black people in texts. But valuing the other, learning we are all the same blood, is not a lesson one learns with the mind." On the contrary, the lesson must go deeper than that, and Dericotte attempts to teach people this lesson through a different channel- the heart with her thoughtful and straightforward writings. Dericotte will read from some of her works as part of the Up-Write Reading Program at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24 in the PUB Multipurpose room. Dericotte will read selections from her memoir, "The Black and Notebooks," some of her poetry. The event, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the English department, the Women's Studies Center, the Black Student Union and a social equity grant from the Pa.

Marjorie Professor From, Listen, B6 "If you will take the time and put in the effort to learn this skill, it will make such a positive impact on your life! You will be able to sit in the presence of a person who is hurting and really help work that individual through an issue in his or Many of Dericotte's poems are often narrative and seem at first glance to be the simple telling of a story, often a conversation she overheard or took part in. But the poems will also cause readers to examine their views and opinions on issues they may not think about very often. This goes along with a common theme in her poetry, which is the backand-forth pull between outer appearance and inner reality. But even if students have not experienced the same things as Dericotte they will often be able to understand the feelings she conveys. "A lot of the issues have to do with identity and culture... but also said relationships," Maddox-Hafer. "I hope that (students) will be able to identify with some of the things she talks about and apply them to their own lives." While Dericotte writes often about her feelings on people's reaction to her light skin in contrast with her heritage, "she writes about all kinds of issues, not just race," Maddox- Hafer said. The vivid details of the poems and short stories make it easy for readers to transport themselves to the time and place in which they occurred. In the literature and creative writing classes that have been reading Dericotte's works, Maddox-Hafer said, "I've had a wonderful response from the students... they are intrigued by the way she approaches the subjects." Students will get a chance to speak with Dericotte and get writing tips after the reading, at which time they can also purchase her book, or at one of the on-campus events which she will attend. Tuesday, Sept. 23, Dericotte will attend a dinner with the Women's Studies Center. She will hold a lunch with students Wednesday sponsored by the Black Student Union and the Office of Human and Cultural Diversity, which any student may attend. She will also visit creative writing and literature classes throughout her stay. Maddox-Hafer said she hopes students will take advantage of the opportunity to meet Dericotte. "It's... really nice to meet writers face to face. It's kind of an eye-opening experience," she said. "I hope it inspires students... that they can do this as well."

Photo courtesy of Google Images All-star cast delivers many laughs but lacks substance Danielle Tepper Staff Reporter dtepper@lhup.edu A full cast of A-list stars shows a darker sense of humor in the Coen brothers' screwball "Burn After comedy Reading." The film has the to potential provoke meaningful thought; instead it merely causes one laugh after another at each twist and turn ofthe wacky plot. Ethan and Joel Coen are the smart laughers, creating films that allow audiences to forgive the silly plot because of the deftness of the character interaction and wordplay. Creating roles that tangle together in a web of blackmail, adultery, and comedic antics, the Coen brothers allow each actor to sink comfortably into a character that takes next to nothing seriously. Osbourne Cox (John Malkovich) has just been fired from the CIA for his drinking problem. While being unceremoniously booted from headquarters, he repeats incredulously, "I have a drinking problem?" Cox thinks that by waiting until precisely 5 p.m. to start consuming his vast array of alcohol, this clearly cannot be true. Angrily asking whose ass he didn't kiss, he storms out. His plan for revenge is to write a memoir of the inner workings at Langley, VA, unsuspecting of the disc soon falling into the wrong hands. Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand) and Harry Pfarrer (George Clooney) are both trying to find love. Linda works at Hardbodies, a local gym, and is obsessed with trying to find enough money for multiple plastic surgeries, which she believes will help her lack of success finding a partner through the Internet. Harry just so happens to be married, despite his current successful dating streak. He and Linda meet and seem to like each other. Harry is a U.S. Marshal, and is also having an affair with Cox's wife, Katie (Tilda Swinton). A very tangled web indeed. Perhaps the most comical character is Chad Feldheimer (Brad Pitt), Linda's Hardbodies coworker, a gum-chewing, dim-witted physical fitness trainer sporting frosted hair and an iPod. Linda and Chad find Cox's memoir on the floor of Hardbodies, and decide to earn money by either blackmailing Cox himself, which doesn't go down so well, or selling it to the Russians. .; The CIA hears word-* and gets involved, but is unsure how to proceed. "Report back to me when it makes sense," a CIA superior (J.R. Simmons) says when hearing the story. The movie throws curveballs left and right, including unexpected murder and interesting construction projects in Harry's basement. Supporting characters , such as Linda and Chad's boss (Richard Jenkins), and a CIA officer (David Rasche) add to the film's charm. The entire cast is obviously having a great time portraying such offthe-wall characters. A film that pokes fun at what lies beneath our "Burn After society, Reading" has been top at the box office since its release, and for good reason. It gives fresh perspective on the fact that for the most part, at some point or another, even people as high up as members of the CIA have no idea what's going on. internship.

"We have a strong show that is emotionally charged," said Heffner referring to the subject matter Godeke covers in his art, which is very personal and deals with interactions between men. Different themes in Godeke's work have also included interaction between men in contexts such as sports, the military, or within the nuclear family, as well as hatecrime murders of gay men. Godeke's painting Dad and Son with Capture carries the Biblical overtones of the story of Abraham and Isaac in the Old Testament ofthe Bible.

"The stories of the Bible are fascinating to me," said Godeke. He attempts to use these Biblical tales to relate to present day. "There are common relations to our contemporary cultural heritage," said Godeke. Godeke is a painter who finds physiological aspects fascinating as well, often times working off themes that are horrifying. Godeke explained that some of the narratives are very unpleasant; however, to him they are realities. are) "(They even unpleasant to my shrink," adds Godeke. The paintings are just as horrifying for Godeke himself to handle. He once painted an allegory that deals with a child dead on the side of a road. Eventually Godeke had to cover the painting up by layering it with fluffy stuffed animals. When dealing with hate-crimes specifically targeted toward gay men, Godeke first realized he wanted to do still life paintings that center on crimes he read about. "I read about a gay man being stabbed 60 times," said Godeke. He found this very unsettling and disturbing, and felt that painting was a means of expressing how he felt. Nathan Fought, an art major, couldn't put a finger on the meaning of the paintings until he received a little help from Godeke's presentation. "The fact that the underlining message of the art's meaning is so deep you need the artist to explain it is pretty interesting," said Fought. Godeke's art work has been reviewed in Art in America, The New York Times, ArtWeek, The San Diego Union Tribune, Philadelphia City Paper, Williamsport Sun Gazette, Critical Reflections, and reproduced in Harper's Magazine. Godeke's art will continue to be on display until Oct. 3.
