However, without thc proper funding, the increase could rise to the double digits, in which case a difference in price would be noticeable. The full amount of funding that could be available for state schools is 7%. but the chance of Pennsylvania congress passing thc entire proposed funding is unlikely. "If we can get close to 5%. that will keep us away from double digits." Wozinak said. But, the senator warned that the budgeting process will be one racked with tough decisions.

For any information on nize their religious beliefs, herthe Alliance and its meeting Sarah Jordan came to Lock Haven University on Thursday April 14, 2005 to present a lecture on the growing controversy over religious freedom in high schools and universities. A representative of the Center for Free Inquiry (CFI) of Amherst, N.Y., Jordan discussed religion's properrole in the education system by bringing forth such contentious issues as the intelligent design movement and prayer in schools. The CFI is a center in which scientists, philosophers, media professionals, students and the general public can obtain information regarding religion, ethics and thc society, among other things. Jordan began by saying how the classic liberal arts curriculum is being threatened by religious groups and organizations that wish to incorporate religion into schools by introducing alternate learning programs such as touch healing in medical schools. The fact that people today are overly concerned with the moral views of others also tends to fuel the fire behind trying to enforce more religiously based curriculums in school systems. The Christian fundamentalist minority has been exercising its growing power by stating its belief that the source of the country's problem lie in secularized schools and governments. Jordan then went on to explain that these same Christian fundamentalists are arguing that another source for the country's problems is the basic idea of secular humanism. "Secular humanism is an ethical belief system... and it is an inherently atheistic one." Jordan said when explaining the philosophy. Secular humanism is essentially the view that there is no itage or traditions on public times, contact Brendon lent crimes against homosexuals on campus, but harassment is prevalent, although not often reported. "I've been yelled at a few times/' said Casey Wherley testifying to being harassed by passerbys in cars on more than one occasion. Vandalism, such as certain words in the Bentley restrooms, have been scratched out by administration. However this took awhile for any action to be taken and the words are still discernable. Wherley has noticed that when it comes to addressing the homosexual community, people tend to shy away from the subject. Homosexual and bisexual men on campus have had a more difficult time coping with harassment, according the GSA. One student was forced to move off campus to escape the continuous phone messages of harassment that plagued him. The GSA does not see a need for such worries on a college campus. Before their founding in 1991, the organization existed underground. Its purpose is to "educate people and provide a support group for homosexuals, transsexuals and bisexuals" according to Smart. The members of GSA acknowledge the intimidation that many feel when approaching them, but they assure that there is no need. Beth Baker wanted to assure students that as long as they are making the effort to learn about different types of sexuality, there is no need to be anxious. "I think a lot of people...don't like to be approached because they're insecure," Baker said. "But," she added, "it rs better to be educated." And the GSA is eager to do just that. The organization meets every Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the PUB Lobby. "Don't be scared," Smart said. The more students attempt to learn about people different than themselves, the safer Lock Haven will be for everyone. The Day of Silence spoke loudly for those who never were able to.

To present at the colloquium, faculty were asked to submit a title and abstract for consideration. "The response from the faculty was fantastic. We could not have handled any more papers.

Heming Michigan Daily The debate over emergency contraception, also known as the morning after pill, has intensified lately as supporters of the drug are lobbying for it to obtain over-the-counter status. The discussion has prompted both moral and medical debates over the use of thc oral contraceptive that must be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. Nisha Gulati, a, spokeswoman for the Feminist said Majority Foundation, American women would greatly benefit from increased access to emergency contraception because it would decrease the number of unintended pregnancies. The FMF has been campaigning for over-the-counter availability of emergency contraception since the Food and Drug Administration approved the drug for prescription use in 1999. "Emergency contraception is available without a doctor's prescription in 26 countries this is exactly what we're going for here." Gulati said. She cited the availability of emergency contraception in France, which she — Modern Dance [Company's Spring Recital [ J J Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania will hold its annual spring Commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 7 at 10:30 a.m. at the Hubert Jack Stadium. Dr. Cora B. Marrett, senior vice president for Academic Affairs at the University of Wisconsin System will give the keynote address.

She said she supports thc movement for overthe-counter status. "There's a time sensitivity having it available over the counter will really decrease the number of unintended pregnancies and therefore decrease the number ofabortions that are performed," she said. Plan B has been shown to reduce the chances of pregnancy by 89 percent if taken in thc first 72 hours after intercourse. Hochman said. Gulati said emergency contraception has the potential to prevent 800,000 unwanted pregnancies each year. But others said they feel that changing the status of Plan B would have negative consequences for public health. An article on the website of Concerned Women for America, a national conservative women's organization, states that the change to over-the-counter status is not reasonable because of thc lack ofresearch on the longterm effects and the effects of repeated usage. Hochman said if a woman takes emergency contraception more than once in her menstrual cycle, she may experience a - problem with her next cycle — including heavier menstruation or irregular periods. She encouraged women to use nonemergency contraception to minimize the need for Plan B. Hochman added that she would not advise women to use Plan B as their only method of birth control, even if it were of using emergency contraceptive pills (would discourage them)." she said. "It's expensive in comparison to what you'd pay if you got on some form of birth control." One dose of Plan B costs around $20 without insurance, while one month ofan inexpensive oral contraceptive costs around $30 without insurance. The article from Concerned Women for America also cited an increase in sexually transmitted diseases in countries where emergency contraception is widely available. The number of Chlamydia cases in the United where emergency Kingdom contraception is available without a prescription rose by 3,000 in three years, according to the article. Hardikar said thc danger of increased cases of STDs is a cost — — from "Blood Drive", page A1 result of abstinence-only sex education, not increased access to Plan B. "With a comprehensive sex education program, the ways to prevent pregnancy would be taught along with barrier contraceptive methods." she said. "It's important to educate people on both." There is no definite date for the decision on status for Plan B. President Bush's nominee for new FDA commissioner, Lester Crawford, was denied confirmation by Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) because Crawford would not provide a date for thc Plan B decision. Thc Senate can overrule this block of a confirmation with a 60-vote majority. The FMF and its 166 affiliated groups are collecting petitions to influence the FDA's decision. Crystal Lander, the director of the FMF's Choices Campus Leadership Program, stressed the importance ofthe campaign. "It's absolutely essential (emergency contraception) is available and stocked at every pharmacy and campus health center across the nation," she said in a press release. Spring Commencement speaker announced I I said has the lowest number of unintended pregnancies in the world. Junior Ashwini Hardikar. a member of Students for Choice, said emergency contraception should be readily available for women. "In the case of a rape victim, it's so important to have the morning after pill," she said. "At least the rape victim won't have to go through thc extra pain of unwanted pregnancy." In May 2004, thc FDA rejected thc application for overthe-counter status for Plan B, a specific brand of emergency contraception. While the FMF said this decision showed the power of "anti-choice congressional pressure" on the FDA, thc FDA said the decision was a result of inadequate information on the effect of thc drug on women under thc age of 16. Plan B was resubmitted in July 2004 with a new clause that for prescriptions required women under the age of 16 and over-the-counter provided access for older women. The FDA has yet to make a decision on thc proposal.

Make sure you weigh more than 110 lbs if you plan to donate. ,If yoy jiave received a tattoo within the last twelve months you cannot donate. In addition, if you are an active donor you must wait 56 days in between donations. If you have any questions in regard to your eligibility as a donor please call the blood center at 800-4328045. If you plan to donate the Red Cross recommends drinking plenty offluids a few days before donating. The day you plan to donate make sure to eat a healthy breakfast and lunch if you have thc time. In addition, after donating be sure to stay properly hydrated. "It saves lives," said Walsh. "Even money cannot take the place of blood. If there is no blood in the bank and you have all the money in the world, they cannot put the money through your veins, only blood replaces blood!" Not only can you donate blood tomorrow but you will also have the opportunity to sign up for the bone marrow registry drive that will be held next week. "We will be signing people up for the marrow registry during the blood drive, you can do both," said Walsh. "It is very important thatpeople know they can donate blood and get tested for the National Marrow Registry." If you cannot donate blood and would still like to participate in the bone marrow drive you can do so by contacting Walsh at wwalsh@lhup.edu. In thc email be sure to include your name, telephone number, and times that you are free on Tuesday the 26th. i EW REENS™ MAZIN' "Crisp ! Fresh Grilled Chicken Caesar Garden Fresh !

This election was for the President, Vice President and Treasurer ofthe Student Cooperative Council. My running mate and I ran a clean and dignified campaign. We listened to problems that students had and we offered solutions as to how to fix them. Parking, safety, Bentley, the concert, you name it and we did research, talked to people and came up with answers. We lost. We lost to a good PR campaign, but also to bribes, campaign paraphernalia at the polling places, back door job promotions, ballot workers telling people who to vote for, empty promises, intimidation it the polling places and a lot of questionable practices all around. I guess that is politics in the new millennium. v}( Well my running mate and I are not politicians; we spoke with honesty and confidence, the way that it should be. That does not bother me though. The thing that bothers me about the whole election is that I never once heard what the new executive board plans on doing to help the students. Never once, what they plan on doing to mobilize against tuition increases. What they plan on doing to make the students, especially the females on campus, feel safer. Ideas for how can we start making Lock Haven University a proud tradition of excellence. Never heard it. People I talked to, even some people who voted for them did not hear it either, but hey they got buttons and t-shirts. We lost by almost 200 votes, I would like to think that 200 more people liked their ideas better than they liked ours but 1 know that is not the case. I predict that nothing significant will be done by the new executive board. They will cater to and be intimidated by the administration but that can change people. The elected officials work for you! Hold them accountable and make sure they take you, the student body seriously. You have a voice, make it loud, make it unified and make it be heard. If not, then you get what you deserve. Del Sellers Student praises Evergreen Commons Dear I am writing in response to the letter about student housing that was posted in last week's Eagle Eye. I have lived at Evergreen Commons for one semester and unlike the author of last week's letter, all I have is praise. Any problems that may arise have been quickly taken care of by the CAs or by the CM. When my toilet was clogged and when my shower leaked 1 had maintenance come and fix the problem that very day. Sure there are problems, but even the dorms aren't perfect. You can easily point the finger at Evergreen Commons and say that it's loud and the living is terrible (even though 1 don't know anyone who would be upset with having their own washer and dryer, bathroom, kitchen and bedroom). Compared to the dorms, this is luxury, and sadly you can't please everyone. There will always be those few people that complain when things don't go their way. But if you want to start nit-picking and say the CAs and maintenance workers don't do their job then be sure you look at the dorms and off campus housing too. There have been incidences in the dorms of illegal gambling, drinking and lets not forget drugs too. I have seen RAs drinking with theirresidents in the dorm, and I have heard of students who complained that their RDs don't help them or listen to them. The first semester for Evergreen Commons was a tough one, the manager had to make sure the correct staff was chosen, that students were happy, and some problems did arise. In case some people didn't notice, those problems have been fixed. New CAs were hired, more programs are run and it seems that the majority of the student body here is happy. There will always be that kid that complains in class, that student that hates the dorms and now the student that hates the Commons. You can't please everyone but you can be sure that the staff here is trying. I would not like to live anywhere but Evergreen Commons, 1 am more than happy here. Like they say about the spring concert "if you don't like it, then don't go." So if you don't like the Commons then don't live here, and please don't try to spoil it for the rest of us. Tristin Forney Staff member questions integrity of University Dear Editor, Is the Admissions Office intentionally lying to transfer students? It is with great reluctance that I write this letter, but I feel someone needs to stand up and say something. I believe the Admissions Office has crossed an ethical line which leaves the integrity of that office open to question in my mind and in the minds of some students. The issue is so fundamental to me that 1 feel compelled to share my thoughts about a letter I came across by chance earlier this year. Please note that it is an acceptance letter to a transfer student to Lock Haven University. In the body of the acceptance letter in bold print is a statement saying that Evergreen Commons is a University owned apartment complex. It then goes on to extol the virtues of Evergreen Commons and the envelope containing the letter is then stuffed with Evergreen Commons sales literature. Now remember this is an official, formal acceptance letter from the Lock Haven University Admissions Office from a staff that knows Evergreen Commons is not university owned. After seeing this letter I asked several questions very professionally and privately of everyone in the chain of command of the Admissions Office up to the president. They were, who wrote this letter, who approved this letter, and how long has it been going out to prospective students? The only answers I got back were quite interesting. They were, the writer ofthe letter was mistaken and they couldn't answer my questions because Evergreen Commons is under a grievance by the SCUPA union. I will publicly and unequivocally state here and now that 1 am a member of SCUPA and we do have a grievance filed against the university regarding Evergreen Commons. That being said SCUPA has not filed any grievance against the Admissions Department because none of us in our wildest dreams would have believed that the Admissions Department would compromise its integrity simply to fill up an overpriced, over hyped outsourced apartment complex. ! But let's get back to the real issue. First, I know the writer of record of the letter and he is and was well aware that Evergreen Commons isn't and wasn't university owned. And secondly, the integrity ofthe Admissions Office is everybody's business and not just SCUPA's. I would sincerely urge every faculty member, every student, every staffmember, and anyone who values the integrity of our university to ask the very same questions I asked and to demand straight and unambiguous answers as to how this could have happened. I can't imagine that any of you have filed a grievance that would prevent them from giving you the legitimate answers you seek. What happened at the Admissions Office in my opinion is absolutely unconscionable and the managers and senior level administrators ofthe Admissions Office and above should be ashamed to have crossed that line. Unfortunately, they seem to be making the situation worse by not standing up and dealing with what happened. When the Admissions Office intentionally and purposefully lies to incoming students, it calls into question the character, ethics, and integrity of the entire university. Everybody should be upset with that-not the least of which is the transfer students who were lied to. How are students to believe anything we say if we callously lie to them even before they arrive over something as inconsequential as an apartment? That is the real issuenot whether a grievance has been filed. And trying to hide behind the spurious claim that a grievance negates their responsibility to correct this has outraged me enough to make this a very public issue. When filling a foundation owned apartment complex becomes more important than the principles we espouse as a university community, well that is something no grievance could ever fix. Please, if you care about what Lock Haven University stands for, go ask the same three questions I did and get some answers. And then let's get our values back.

In 1970 a group of people concerned with the way the Earth was being treated, decided to organize a specific awareness day that we as a society would observe each This day became year. known as Earth Day and is held each year on April 22nd. Earth Day turns 35 years old this year and Lock Haven University will celebrate this Saturday, April 23rd. The celebration is sponsored and organized by the university's biology club. "We put most of our semes- this event to make it a fun and successful one," said Celeste Crissman, biology club president. "It also gives children and adults from the community a chance to get a close up look at some of our clubs and what we are doing." People who attend can expect to see two bands. Bad Habit and Lumpy Gravy. In addition to the live music, many vendors from local organizations will also be present with information about their organizations. On- campus clubs will also be helping to celebrate Earth Day with information and activities about their clubs. A number of different L.1JL*. Presents: I M|M if hitMita Lite Sty!* jsic, I craft tables will be set-up for children, as well as a presentation with live animals. Food will be available and a raffle will be held. "It will be a good time for all who come and it is also important to remember that we are doing this to celebrate Earth Day," said Crissman. "We must protect and cherish every living thing on our planet." According to Crissman this event is a major fundraiser for the biology club. The celebration will be held on Russell Lawn from 11-4 p.m. on April 23rd. In case of inclement weather, the Earth Day celebration will be moved to the university's East Campus Gymnasium. "If it wasn't for the living things on this Earth, we would not be able to survive," said Crissman. "We need to preserve our habitat for future generations." If you are interested in learning about the exciting new field of nanotechnology, the students at Lock Haven University invite you to join them for two presentations on the subject.

LHU alumna makes the NBA her home Brandie Kessler — BK: How did you find out about thc job at the NBA. and what prompted you to go for it? JP: Actually, the NBA contacted me. About a year ago. I put my resume on monster.com. One day, I got a call saying that they had a position open that was only temporary, but had potential to become permanent depending on how well 1 did. At first 1 wasn't sure if 1 was going to take it because economically it wasn't very appealing because I would have to quit the job I currently had for a job that paid slightly less. Then 1 realized that I would be crazy to pass it up because I'd get great experience learning about the sports entertainment industry, even if they never gave me a permanent position. Until I actually went to the interview, and saw that it was for real, I thought someone was playing this big joke on me. A few days later. 1 was offered the position. So, within 2 weeks, I quit my job,found an apartment, and moved. BK: Can you give a description of the responsibilities that your jobposition entails? JP: When I started I was called a project employee, which meant 1 did a lot of the stuff that no one else wants to do, like deal with fans. Although it was frustrating at times. I think it is a great place for a new employee to start. It showed me just how big the NBA is, and how everything we do here is put under a microscope by so many different people, not just fans. Aside from doing Fan Relations, I also got to help out with different projects in the Internal Communications Department and 1 was able to write some things for nba.com and the NBA newsletter. My project term was supposed to end December 31, 2004, but they decided to keep mc on as a department assistant to the Senior Vice President of Communications. This job consists mainly of keeping track of when the league is releasing certain information to the media, like marketing partnerships, promotional events, or announcements like League MVP and things like that. Also, this job is giving me a chance to see each individual department and learn what each consists of, such as Public Relations, Basketball Operations, Community Relations and Communications Planning. BK: What are some of the most interesting experiences you've had while working at the NBA? JP: Meeting players and celebrities in general is one of the fun parts of this job. One day 1 went up to our cafe and Scottie Pippen was sitting there having breakfast. To people who have worked here for a while, that type of thing is normal, but for me, 1 couldn't believe it. Yao Ming was the first player I ever met; he was really nice. We usually meet players because they come to the NBA Store to do interviews for NBA-TV. Through those events I also met Charles Barkley and Emeka Okafor and commentators Andre Aldridge, Stephen A. Smith, and Marv Albert, who were all very interesting. There are people here who are on a first name basis with P. Diddy and Jay-Z. For the first night of the season, Jay-Z gave us a VIP room at his club 40/40 to watch the games and the election. It was the first time that I ever went out in NYC, so it was a little overwhelming to go there. Halfway through the night, Shaq walked in to hang out with some of the people I work with. BK: What type of education, big schools or small schools, do most of the people you work with have, and how do you feel that you benefited from your "small-school" education and experiences at LHU? JP: It was really funny when I started working here and people asked me where 1 went to school because no one had ever heard of Lock Haven before. They didn't even have the slightest idea what state it was in. Everyone here went to schools like UNC, UCLA, Notre Dame, Duke, Syracuse and Penn State; the person who went to Penn State didn't even know where Lock Haven was. I know some people argue that thc education is better at bigger schools, but I think that each school has its ownadvantages and disadvantages, and regardless of where you go to college, the things you learn in the classroom are only a part of what you do in a real job setting. I think that going to a smaller school was much better for me as opposed to a bigger school. It's the advantage of having the smaller class-size and actually being someone to your professors as opposed to being a random student that your professor doesn't even recognize. However, I do think that the setting ofa big school would have prepared me more for this job. Going from Lock Haven to NYC is like night and day, but that was an adjustment that didn't take long to make. The transition from college to working was the hardest change. It's one thing to get up for an 8:00 a.m. class and go home for a nap afterwards, but it's another thing to be at work at 8:00 a.m. 'WBBiBBBgBj muni*-**. ■J J Kevin Carver/Eagle Eye Jaralai Powell, Former Eagle Eye Sports Editor, takes it all in stride working for the NBA. and work for 8-10 hours. The amount of discipline I have to have is so different from where I was a year ago. I can't skip work the way I could have skipped a class or 1 wouldn't have lasted a month here. 1 also live by myself, and at Lock Haven I lived with my four best friends, so that is another thing that has taken some getting used too. BK: What advice would you give to someone who wants to have a job similar to yours working for the NBA? JP: I think the most important thing is to have some sort ofreal experience on your resume. Your resume is what will get you the interview, but your personality and attitude weigh in the most when you interview for the job. My boss told me that they liked me better than the other candidates because 1 wasn't arrogant and I showed a willingness to learn. It's an attribute that makes a lot of employers interested in people who are just out of school, because it gives them the chance to make you the employee that they want or need you to be. Also, you can't be afraid to go after a job that you think you won't get, just because you didn't go to a big-name school. I'm very lucky because my parents always made me feel like 1 was good enough for any job and when this opportunity came along, they never let me think for one second that I didn't deserve it. BK: Who or what has played the biggest role in helping you make the transition from college to the work force? JP: Well, I've been really lucky to have always been surrounded by really good people. My family and friends have always been really supportive of me and everything I've wanted to do. Living on my own hasn't been easy, but whenever things have been tough, I know that there are a handful ofpeople who will always be there to keep me going forward and that's something that's always reassuring to know. I'm the youngest in my family and my brother and sister are very successful people, but my parents never made me feel like 1 had something to live up to. I think that played a big part in everything because I never felt pressured to do anything, they've always just let me make my own decisions and encouraged me along the way. I'd say the best part about this whole thing was seeing how excited my parents were when I told them that I got the job. They have always worked really hard to make sure that my brother, sister, and I had everything we needed to be successful and they have always supported me in whatever I wanted to do. It was nice to see them as excited as they were because it felt like I was finally giving something back to them. BK: What direction do you want your career to take in the future? JP: I'm not 100 percent sure where 1 would like to go in this field. There are so many things integrated into it that 1 had no idea about before I started working for the NBA. I think I want to eventually switch to the team side. Working for the league, I do feel that I am a part of the league as a whole; I just think I would enjoy it more if 1 worked more closely with a team and was able to contribute to their goals and success as an individual organization. Also, I think I might want to eventually go into Community Relations because they are the ones who are responsible for getting the athletes involved in different kinds ofcharities. Helping others is always something that I've wanted to do. Either way, I plan on staying with the NBA and making a career for myself here. ers helP8° alon 8 witn Kimberly Allan and Christie between thc The No. 5 women's lacrosse Dunning split time each, and one half pipes, playing team is currently riding a fivefor nine saves.

Rentel notched the hat trick to Doug Spatafore Five earn NCAA provisionals as Cowan sets school record Brandy Rissmiller Sports Reporter After Jim Dempsey became the first member of Lock Haven's Track and Field team to earn a NCAA provisional qualifying mark he predicted that his teammates would join him on the list after the next meet. Five of his teammates proved him right at the Bucknell Distance Carnival at Bucknell University April 15-16. Senior Chris Cowan not only received a NCAA provisional qualifying mark in thc 5000 meters, but also earned the school record. Cowan placed third with a time of 14:26.08. "1 am very happy with the time that I ran. It feels good to have eclipsed my school record and my personal record by over five seconds!" said Cowan. He added that it was important for him to get in a good position on the National list so there will be less pressure on him in the upcoming Penn Relays. Sophomores Ryan Blood and Aaron Benson also received NCAA provisional qualifying marks in the 5000. Blood had a time of 14:41.33 and Benson finished right behind Blood (14:41.34). Juniors William Buckenmeyer and Fieldon Daubert were the remaining members ofthe squad to receive NCAA provisional qualifying marks. Buckenmeyer's time of 9:23.1 in the steeplechase also earned him third place. Daubert placed fourth in the javelin (195-7). Dempsey, the defending Eastern College Athletic Conference Field Athlete of the Week, placed first in the high jump (6-9). The women had an impressive meet, as well. Two school records were broken and two first-place finishes were awarded. Sophomore Holly Bofinger broke the school record in the 10000 with a time of 38:02.63. The 4 X 800 relay squad ofKathleen Davey, Nikki Rhian, Brittany Turner and Missy Weaver earned third place with their school record setting time of 9:45.59. Freshman Angela Kramer won the pole vault (11-3 3/4) and sophomore Maggie Borden claimed first in the 400 (57.47). Borden was a member of the 4 X 100 relay that placed second with a time of 48.55. Joining Borden was Ashley Hartman. Kirsten Schuyler and Laura Phillips. Head Coach Mark Elliston said the meet went very well and several athletes had great performances. "As we are getting to the close ofthe season it is important for the team to remain focused," said Elliston. He added that he hopes the athletes who have the potential to get themselves to an NCAA qualifying mark will give it all they have at the remaining meets. Next for the team is the Bucknell Five-Way. "Even though the season is wrapping up, it gets even more exciting to see what will happen next," stated Coach Elliston. The meet will be held on April 23. L It is time for the Draft! The NFL Draft is arguably the best draft out of all the professional sports. Seven rounds over 200 college players scouted, taken. Young players sec what football really is. They get to go and sec what dreams are really made of. This is the opportunity that most of them have been wailing for their whole lives and their day will come on Saturday or Sunday. The 49ers get the first pick as of right now but they may trade it away. If they keep it they will choose one of three players, Alex Smith of Utah, Braylon Edwards of Michigan, or Aaron Rodgcrs of Cal. This decision will be tough but this year's draft has a lot of quality players coming out. It will be a great thing to see because I will watch all seven rounds on both days I will have to study later. Baseball season is well underway and the Yankees are playing terrible. I am a fan but I am also a journalist and I have to write the facts. They can not pull things together right now. They look like this is still spring training to them. But not so fast, we arc talking about the Yanks. I know that they arc not playing to their potential but give it some time. Yank's fans are diehardthey are not band wagon jumpers and they will finally pull it together1and I hope the Red Sox lead is big then or they will finish second in thc AL Fast for the 5th straight year. This weekend is a big weekend for our football program as we get to see our "NEW" team. All of the older, graduated players come back and we get to talk about memories of what we were. For some of us this is almost as fun as playing the game. Everybody that will read this article please come out and support the team at the Annual Alumni game.

When I say I I'm ready for the draft, I mean the one taking place at noon on Saturday, The weaker teams of the last NFL season are going to have a hard time « : deciding who to take in the first round. There are just so many choices. The Nincrs should really just go with their gutand pick up that itewfran- { chise quarterback. I think they'll end up taking Rogers. He's a "hometown" j favorite. Kind of. But more importantly, no offense to Alex Smith, he's had : some stiffer competition and only suffered one loss. Just to throw in a wrench, they could go with Braylon Edwards Michigan, and beef up their receiving core and then possibly snag some : mediocre passer in the second round. Ronnie Brown pretty much sounds like a lock for the Dolphins, A.J. Feeley j is going to need a guy like this to keep him off the turf. He can run, jump,: catch, block and maybe even cook. We'll see. Ok, since I'm not a Philly fan during football season I have to THE SIXERS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS! What a heartsome where attack I was having. I had the opportunity to see them at the Wachovia Center this year.

I know a lot of you arc excited for this as well; I was at the Fallon when they beat the Heat in double OT last week.

She talked about her changeover from being a man, Richard, to a woman, Rita. At thc beginning she said that she's doing this to put a face on transsexualism and she did. Those in attendance said she was open-minded and a fun person to listen to. Many of them also said her talk made you think about transsexualism and yourself. "There is no cure for transsexualism, other than living the life as the opposite sex," said Rita Wessel. "Gender identity conflict occurs in about one male out of 30. About one in 10,000 males are gender dysphoric to the point of changing gender roles, like I am," she said. Before getting surgery, Rita had to live the life of a woman for 15 months. The surgery is very expensive ($15,000 $30,000), so you wouldn't do if you weren't serious, she said. Now usually you think that when you're a transsexual, like a man changed into a woman, you like men and always did. which I've seen as the common thought. Though in Rita's case she still liked women, but after the transfer and the taking of hormones, she started to like men, but when she was a man she had no interest in men at all. - She still works and lives in the same place she did when she was a man. The reaction by the townspeople and her coworkers was a positive one. Though for other transsexuals, they can have a hard time transferring over and many times they move to other places in which no one knows them. It was great that she was willing to be so open. Many students took advantage of the question section and asked many questions. Rita had no problem answering all of thc questions. In the end, all Rita asked of us as human beings, to just get to know her and others in her position before judging them, then if you don't like her you don't, but at least you tried and were open. Importance of self-respect and leadership Diane Fleming, a professor at Slippery Rock, spoke about self-respect at her speech on Tuesday night.

The last thing you vant to do 2 weeks after you move back is find moldy oranges. Go to all the parties, get-togethers and activities that you can. This could i your last chance to have fun for awhile as most parents do have rules. Make up a schedule for Finals Week so that you can actually get some aep. It probably won't make a difference but at least you made the effort! 7. Get down to the Rec. This could be your last opportunity to get in shape or summer before you get home and have to work all the time. It also helps o work off some of the stress that comes with a week full of tests. If you can get home in the next couple of weeks, start taking some stuff i you. That way you don't have to make one huge trip where you realize don't have room for all your stuff. If you can't get home, at least start king. You don't want to be awake the night before wondering where to put 5. Get everyone's phone numbers and emails or add all your friends to your facebook. Just because ifs summer doesn't mean you can't keep in touch. 4. Start cleaning. You would not believe how much dust and dirt can collect under a rug in a 9 month time frame! 3. Use up your flex. While it may not have seemed like real money this year, you did pay for it at the beginning and it does not carry over to next semester. Buy up all the drinks and chips you can! 2. Sell back your books. We know that the bookstore only gives you like $5 for a $200 book, but at least it's something. Better yet, find friends who are taking the classes and sell the books to them. You won't turn a profit but you'll make out better than with the bookstore. And the #1 Way to Prepare for finals week... 1. STUDY! STUDY! STUDY! Hit the books now if you have to, but make sure ,^^^^^^ you don't forget the academic part of the week!
