With many updates, renovations and changes, the PUB is working towards becoming a center location on campus. Ownership of the former Eagle Wing Snack Bar, now known as the Eagle Rock Cafe, switched hands over the summer from the SCC to ARAMARK, the company in charge of Bentley. This change has resulted in two beneficial items for students - the acceptance of FLEX dollars in the cafe and the financial burden ofthe area no longer on the students. Since it is no longer owned by the SCC, the funds to operate the cafe do not come from the students' activity fees. SCC President Matt Wise hopes that more students will be attracted to the building as a result ofthe changes. "My goal is to put the students back into the student union. This has been my thing since I've won the election. I want to see students use this space," said Wise. The PUB is also the location of the only computer lab on campus that does not hold classes.

However, in recent elections, Republicans have been far more successful in mobilizing the electorate.

Social networking groups such as Facebook.com now offer "Election 2006" issue groups which allow users to meet and get involved with topics they share concerns about.

Over 20 million search records containing information on the search habits of 650,000 AOL customers were released Aug. 7. AOL removed the material and apologized for their mistake, but not before the material was downloaded and posted on other publicly-accessible sites.

That's why today, I am proud to present in particular the two dumbest athletes in sports from this past summer. In the game offootball you wear a helmet to protect your skull from being crushed by 300 pound men. In the game of life you wear a helmet in war, at work and when driving motorcycles. Ben Roethlisberger must have not gotten the memo about how much the concrete hurts when you're flung off your bike. Now I know all you Steelers fans are saying it wasn't his fault that he was in an accident, and for the most part I agree with you. However, seeing as "The Bus" is retired, and Randle El is now a Redskin, that leaves Roethlisberger, Hines Ward, and Willie Parker as the main offensive weapons. But who will throw to Ward or handoff to Parker if Ben isn't around? Charlie Batch? Well if that's the case the Steelers faithfuls might as well pack it in early this year. Good try guys, see you next season. And yes, 1 did see the Steelers win over Miami, but if Batch is expected to start this Monday against the Jaguars, the Steelers will be 1-1. The point being is a football team without a quarterback is like an army without a commander. Nothing works without the leader, just as the leader doesn't win battles without the rest ofthe army helping out. So Big Ben, what have you learned? You're the franchise, a Super Bowl champion, worth more than most people can count and the hopes and dreams of an entire football team and fan base. Learn to wear a helmet, better yet learn to drive something with airbags. Even though Roethliberger's decision making can be compared with that of a three-yearold, he at least waited until the off-season to potentially ruin his career. The next athlete, however, is so incredibly idiotic, that he could not fend off his momentary lapse ofreason any longer. On the grandest stage in all of soccer, maybe even sports, he decided a head butt to the chest and a loss to Italy would be much better than a win and a World Cup Championship. Congratulations Zinedine Zidane! It's a tough road traveled to be the sporting world's biggest moron, but in a matter of seconds you went from soccer royalty to another reason why the rest of the world will be making fun of France for the next four years. It takes a special kind of decision making to be the best player on the field and the lone goal scorer on your team and just throw the World Cup and your good name down the tubes; and for what? Because an opposing player was busting your chops? My goodness gracious you define the term Mack of common sense.' I understand that you being tossed from the match isn't the sole reason why France lost, but if you had used your brain, you could have been the reason France won. It is this reasoning that you have earned the top spot as head idiot. When they speak of the soccer greats you'll surely be among them, except you'll be the only individual with an asterisk next to your name identifying you as the leader-idiot who lost the World Cup for his country. So now the only thing that the French can be proud ofis the Tour De France, and Americans have been winning it since 1999. oris Summertime memories James Cooney Sports Editor While Garrett discusses the "idiots of summer" I want to talk about the fun of summer.

It's a sport where you can bring your coolers into the dugout and get drunk while playing. Let's see football players get drunk and then try to play. I loved playing so much that I actually broke my leg sliding into second base. My summer wasn't all pleasant though as I watched my dear Chicago Cubs fall to last place behind the Pittsburgh Pirates. One more reason I had to hear Pittsburgh fans run their mouths about how there city is so great. Am I the only person tired ofSteeler fans? 1 have to actually admit 1 cheered for the Steelers in the last Super Bowl but after hearing all summer about how they are the greatest team ever, I now cannot stand the Steelers and I would actually cheer for the Eagles over the Steelers. See and the Eagles are about the only team I can talk smack on because I am a Bills fans, and unlike the Eagles at least Buffalo was good enough to win four AFC championships.

LSU's attention turns to No. 4 Auburn Tabby Soignier The Daily Reveille Sophomore center Brett Helms said he could not sleep this past Saturday night, but it was not because of excitement that came with the victory over the University of Arizona just hours before. Now that the first two games were over there was nothing left to keep Helms or the rest of the Tigers from giving their complete attention to Saturday's game Conference rival Auburn University. "I was laying in bed and just thought, 'We got a big 1 one on our hands this week, " Helms said. "Now that the Arizona game is over, this is what you're thinking about. There's something special in the air. You can feel it. Just the anticipation of two Top10 teams going at it. There's definitely something in the air. Everyone just seems a little antsy." The Tigers have a reason to be antsy as they embark on not only their first road game but first day game and first SEC opponent of the season. Last season when the time came in week six to play Auburn, LSU already had two SEC home games against Tennessee and Florida. The Tigers came out on top 20-17 in overtime. This season the battle falls in the third week of the season. "People are still going to question that we haven't played a huge opponent yet," said junior offensive guard Will Arnold. "I think that we have had a lot ofpractice. It's been a long grind. We've had enough games. I'm not worried about that. We're doing better. We'll be ready for these guys." LSU coach Les Miles said the team will have a close to normal practice week, but he said the players will treat it differently. "We're not going to have to rev up this LSU football team," Miles said. "It's a lot of fun preparing for a traditional opponent, a key rivalry. It's what you play football for. There will be a lot of differences in how we approach the game in terms of extra time and our players wanting extra time [to prepare]." Preparation will include studying film and making sure they can see and read what Auburn will scheme up for Saturday. "Our coaches are going to give us a game plan, and we just have to go out there and Notre Dame coach not losing confidence learn it," Arnold said. "We studied the film. We know they're going to be great at disguising things. When you can't see or read what they're going to do, that's when you get hurt." In present standings, No. 4 Auburn is the highest ranked opponent LSU will face this year. Arnold said the rankings add more motivation for LSU because a win will help gain respect from fans who might overlook them. "Auburn and LSU it's definitely a rival," Arnold said. "It's No. 4 Auburn. We're trying to get respect. The players are going to be ready, and it's going to be a different feel. You always look at Auburn as a tough team. You got to be ready to play, or you're going to get beat." Respect is not the only thing won in the outcome of the rivalry. Four of the past five seasons show that the winner ofthis game has gone on to play in the SEC Championship game. "I think that shows what is at stake," Miles said. "Certainly the greatest rivalry is to play with championship implications, and this certainly is." Mike Gilloon The Observer Lloyd Carr believes in his Michigan squad, but he's not naive. The Wolverines ran for 252 yards in Saturday's 4117 home win over Central Michigan. That said, a productive ground game against Mid-American Conference (MAC) foe Central Michigan only tells him so much. Though the Chippewas' rush defense led the MAC last season, Carr said that a No. 2 Notre Dame squad would pose a tougher chal- - "We're confident that we can run the football," said Carr at a Monday morning "Now, teleconference. whether we're going to run it Rhett Bollinger Daily Trojan Nebraska, once known for running the ball down its opponents' throats, has been running an NFL-style offense the last two years under coach Bill Callahan. USC coach Pete Carroll said the offense is most similar to the West Coast offense that the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers run, but that the Cornhuskers are committed to running their style of offense. "It's a very complex offenseand they are starting to hit and break it in," Carroll said. But the Trojans feel like Nebraska's pro-style offense is similar to the one that USC runs every day in practice. "They throw the ball a lot, but their offense is pretty similar to ours, so I feel pretty comfortable about it," freshman safety Taylor Mays said. Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor broke school records last season for passing yards (2,653), passing attempts (399) and completions (233). But the Cornhuskers ranked 107th in rushing offense, averaging only 96 yards per game. This year, however, Nebraska has improved their running game, rushing for 513 yards in two games so far. The Trojans will continue to use their hybrid 3-4 defense on Saturday, which rests largely on the play of sophomore linebacker/defensive end Brian Cushing. Cushing, who had five tackles against Arkansas, said he feels more comfortable in the role. "It's really not that much different from last year reacting to play actions and stuff," Cushing said. "You just have to make a little quicker of a read." Cushing said it's not a 3-4, but more like a 4-3 with a stand-up linebacker.

No matter who's carrying the ball, the success of Michigan's run game against Notre Dame will probably hinge on who controls the trenches. "We want to see the line of scrimmage move back and we've been pretty positive outcome," that with Michigan offensive lineman Mark Bihl said. Bihl praised Irish defensive tackles Derek Landri and Trevor Laws two players who have significant the experience against Wolverines. "They're seasoned veterans," Bihl said. "This is a big week, it's Notre Dame, so you have to be ready for them." KAYAK TRIF great." COLLEGE GAMEDAY ESPN's "College GameDay" pregame show will air from outside the Coliseum before Saturday's game beginning at 7 a.m. It will be set up outside of the peristyle (east) end of the Coliseum. After the game, the show will resume with and "Scoreboard" BR-" that effectively [against Notre Dame], probably not." Mike Hart had no problem running effectively against Vanderbilt and Central Michigan. The Wolverines starting halfback scored three times against the Chippewas, on runs of 2, 4 and 18 yards on his way to a 19-carry, 116-yard day. That followed a 146-yard performance on 31 carries in Michigan's 27-7 seasonopening home win ov«r Vanderbilt. Hart is Michigan's leading rusher this season, but fellow running back Kevin Grady has produced when given a chance. He ran 12 times for 46 yards and one score against the Chippewas. "I liked that he really ran with power [against Central Michigan]," Carr said. "He FALL USC is comfortable with Nebraska's West Coast offense Carroll said that their statuses are questionable for Saturday's game. Redshirt junior defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis was carted off the field when he was injured early in practice. He had an MRI Monday night, and the results have not been released yet. "He tweaked his knee in a drill," Carroll said. Sophomore running back Michael Coleman, however, returned to practice for the first time in a few weeks. KIFFIN GIVES JARRETT 'F' Junior receiver Dwayne Jarrett was the subject ofcriticism from USC offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin in a radio and newspaper interview from the Lincoln (Neb.) Journal Star. Kiffin gave the receivers an "F" for their performances against Arkansas and called out Jarrett, saying "We really challenged him (last) week and embarrassed him to get going." Jarrett shrugged off the comments and said they didn't irk him at all. "That game is in the past," Jarrett said. "It pushes me to get better, that's all." FRESHMAN JOHNSON PRACTICES WITH FIRST TEAM Freshman running back Stafon Johnson practiced with the first team Monday, after working with the scout team before the Arkansas game. Despite coming to school with great expectations, Johnson was one of the few running backs who didn't see any playing time against Arkansas. Carroll said that they will continue to rotate the running backs and the scout team running back could change every day. TROJANS GET R&R OVER WEEKEND The USC football team rested over the weekend, and even Carroll got a chance to relax and watch football. "I saw more football in the last days than I can admit," Carroll said. Carroll said he also had the chance to watch former USC players Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart on Sunday.

Tran added that while living in America he felt disconnected from his parents as well as from the American culture. He uses his art as a means to reconnect with his ancestors.

"In the West you think of life as linear," Tran said. "In the East it is more circular. Everything is interrelated."

Activities Council (HAC), as well as to enjoy the several attractions and activities offered. "I'm glad so many students came out and took advantage of the events the school has to offer," said HAC Chairperson Kate Jump. "It's nice to see the students enjoy what we put together." One of the attractions, and perhaps the most popular, was the temporary tattoo station. At one point, over 40 students waited in line to receive one of the 50 tattoos that they could select from. Tattoos adorned the necks, legs, arms, and faces of many students making their bodies the canvas for the spray painted artwork. "There were times where nearly everyone there was waiting in line at the tattoo station," added Jump. Set up in the center ofthe SRC was the Sports Challenge. This was a basketball game that required two students to be attached anywhere from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, even as far away as Texas," said Phantom employee John Horsey. "It's great. We do about three or four events a weekend. It's an enjoyable experience for all the students." Upon arrival, every student was given a ticket for the prize giveaway. Some of the main prizes handed out were a PlayStation Portable (PSP) with a copy of Madden '07, a portable DVD player, a poker set, and a digital camera. Regardless of the reason students attended, everyone appeared to enjoy their time reliving childhood memories of moon bounce and pigging out with friends. "I came out for the free tshirt," said freshman Erin Kreider. "I also came out because 1 have fun with the blow-up stuffand the temporary tattoos. It's all fun." HAC organized Fall Fest in hopes to provide a big event for students to enjoy early in the semester.

For most, college is going to be the best four years ofyour life. Take in everything that you can while you're here. Challenge yourself to meet everyone in your class or take up an activity you would have never tried before. Do something different. In college, the majority of students do not know what kind ofperson you are. This isyour chance to start fresh and shape yourself into the kind of person you most want to be. Make a name for yourself. Discover YOU. 1. Attempt to get along with your roommate. Even if your major is biology and his or her major is British literature, you are bound to have at least a few things in common. Try meeting up for lunch a couple times a week or exploring the town together. The first friends you make are likely to be the ones you will remain close with. If you don't hit it off with your roomie at least try to be civil; remember you have to live with them for the rest of the year. 2. Start out the year with a positive attitude toward learning. We all know that if you missed a homework assignment or two during high school, it wasn't a big deal. Unfortunately, that's not the case in college. Group studying is always a great option and the library's 24-hour study lounge is perfect if you need some quiet time. The harder you work during the week, the more fun you can have on the weekends! 3. Speaking of weekends, stay on campus! 7 out of 10 Lock Haven freshmen who were polled said that they left campus on the weekend. How are you going to know what Lock Haven is like if you are never here? There are tons of things to do: walk on the dike, see a movie at the Roxy, go bowling, rent a movie and order pizza, hike up the mountain, get involved with intramural sports at the Student Recreation Center, get a weekend job in town or volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. Plus you can always check out the Features section of the Eagle Eye for awesome upcoming events. 4. Master the art oflaundry!
