Qflfe Ejia The Issue 9 Volume 56 Lock Haven University's Student Newspaper Thursday, October 31, 2002 Kids brave weather for candy Residence halls host trick-or-treat night for local children Jessica Leshin The Eagle Eye Neither snow, nor rain, nor gloom of night stays these trick-or-treaters from the swift completion heaiure of their appoint Story ed rounds! In other words these kids wanted their candy, and nothing was stopping them, not the rain or the snow or the slightly slippery conditions. As the Harry Potters, fairy princesses and of course the witches, poured into the Haven dorms of Lock University this past week, students decorated their halls and handed out candy. Each dorm was given a specific day to have trick-ortreaters, the students dressed up and led small groups through the decorated halls to receive their candy. Many parents felt that this was a safe and relatively easy way to allow their children to trick-or-trcat this year. In light of recent events in Maryland and Virginia, many parents felt a bit uneasy about allowing their children to trick-or-treat around town. _ . miW Wif Afl .

The issue put before the October 21 public issues forum was "what kind of general education should all students receive?" The forum, hosted by Dr. Knauer who is the director of the honors program, began with a brief overview of the subject and the four alternatives to be discussed. The forum then broke down into four small groups to more deeply discuss and deliberate the issue and the alternatives presented. Following the small group discussion, the forum reformed in the planetarium to discuss the findings and present and compare the ideas brought up and decided upon by each individual group. Some common ground that the forum agreed upon was the idea of keeping general education requirements, but having less structure and allowing the students to choose which courses they wish to take. Public Issue Forums are held each month in the Planetarium at 6:30pm and run to 8:30pm. November's issue will be Racial and Ethnic Tensions.

The University had its first taste of snow before Halloween since 1979. Less than one inch of snow accumulated when temperatures dropped to thirty one degrees on Wednesday. Anastasia Bannikova Staff Reporter these days of a possible war with Iraq and a continued fight For an Art student Zach Kreider, voting during the elections on November 5th is out of question. He simply won't do it. Why? "I don't know anything about candidates. All old people vote and it seems that only their votes count because politics matter more to them." Kreider's opinion share an overwhelmingly big number of the LHU students and, possibly, other college students nationwide. The majority of the interviewed students described their lack of desire to vote due to disinterest, busy schedule and a simple laziness. If some of them vote occasionally, trying to "make the difference," later, after watching the TV campaigns of the candidates accusing each other of raising taxes, unemployment and other deadly sins, they give up on trying and become, as one student put it, "sickened of them." So, what's wrong with our generation? Why are young people so strangely apolitical in to LHU According Assistant Professor of History and Political Science, Dr. Jeffrey Burnham, there are three simple reasons. First, the modern students are turned off by politics. "Students don't believe in politicians' promises. Sometimes promises are not even targeted on them," Burnham said. The second reason is that the students are simply too busy to vote! "With classes, homework, dating, hobbies, it's overwhelming to be also interested in politics." The third reason on why the college campuses are not raging in demonstrations and peace walk aways is that the nature of issues had been changed. According to Burnham, the Vietnam War was not really close to students until they were affected by the draft, when they were drafted or they either knew someone who was draft- What's inside News Opinions Features 8 1-3 Comics 9 4-5 Classifieds 6-7 Sports 10-12 m K&ffrii * -mmm. m The Eagle Eye Parson's Union Building Lock Haven University Lock Haven, PA 17745 Newsroom: (570) 893-2334 Fax: (570) 893-2644 Email: Women's soccer on top in PSAC Legend has it that Sloan and Russell have a spooky past.

Last Thursday, the Board of Governors for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania voted to lower the graduation requirements for the number of credits required to graduate to 120. This mandate, when enacted, will be retroactive for all students enrolled in State Universities after December. The mandate is designed to allow students to graduate after four years of only 15 credits a semester. Also announced was a plan to help reduce student overcrowding. The university, in cooperation with a currently unnamed third party, is beginning the designing process of a new off-campus apartment housing complex similar to Campus Village. The new housing complex will contain room for 400 students and construction is planned to be finished by Fall 2004. While built in conjunction with the University, the as yet unnamed third party will operate the housing complex. Also, in a measure to immediately help curb campus overcrowding, the University is exploring the possibility of lowering the required number of credit hours needed to apply for off-campus housing. Also raised to the attention ofthe Council was the slicing of the Music Department's operating budget by 70%. Senator David Ney led discussion on the issue, stating that the cut lowered the current operating budget from 10,000$ to 3,000$. The department was not appraised of this cut until recently, and may find itself in a position of debt from operating under the assumption that it's budget would be the same as last year's. A new SCC senator of the month was announced for the month of September, with Senator Amanda Green taking the honors. The Haven's Activities Council also announced that their concert committee questionnaires are being released this week, to choose the genre of music that students would most like to see performed for the coming spring concert. One thousand questionnaires are being released to the student body and will be collected by the middle of next week. The spring concert is tentatively planned for the end of March or the first week of April. In addition, the Senate, despite an attack over membership rights, ratified the Social Science Club of Lock Haven University's constitution. Jim Manser, former Student Cooperative Club President and recent Lock Haven University graduate, also visited the meeting to show his enthusiasm for the SCC and programs like it. Since leaving Lock Haven University, Mr. Manser has served as Governor Schweiker's Voting: a democratic duty where your family lives and not where you study!"

Think before von drink Vi0t|/ Relatively few problem drinkers, about 7% ofthe driving population, account for over 66% of all alcohol related fatal accidents. When drinkers are at the presumed level of intoxication, the risk of causing an accident is six times greater than for non-drinking drivers. Youth Although persons between 16 and 24 years old comprise only 20% of the total licensed population, and 20% of the total vehicle miles traveled in this country by all licensed drivers, they cause 42 percent of all fatal alcohol related crashes.

Journalism Majors!!! Would it friggin' kill you to publish something? Come to the next Eagle Eye Meeting Sunday at 9 pm in the Pub From Treats Page 1 Heather Peterson, one of the people who helped organize and lead children through Gross Hall, said, "I have done this for five years now and we have received an especially positive reaction this year, it is a very safe place to allow the children to trick-or-treat." Professor of Psychology, Kevin Motrin brought his two children Riely, 6 and Callan 2. Professor Morrin said, "The kid just love this, they have been excited about it all day, it's just a really great thing for the University do." No only do the kids get into it, but so do the students. Thc halls were filled with the eerie to tune from Halloween while the students were dressed up as anything from last minute clothes swiped from a roommate, to Halloween costumes bought from Wallmart. Students were excited to be able to share the experience with their friends as well as see the costumes the children had on. Freshman Christin Shiko and Mindy Bedlyon both dressed up and put together candy bags for the trick-or-treaters in Gross Hall. When asked if they expected this to be a part of their college experience they both agreed, "not at all, we totally didn't expect this, we might be having a better time than the kids." This Halloween was wet, snowy and bitterly cold, but that did not put a damper in the least bit on the festivities held in the dorm rooms this year. College kids have to have fun too, and trick-or-treating in their dorm rooms is safe and fun. So, as students scramble to find last minute costumes and figure out how they are going to keep warm in them this snowy Halloween, the one question we are all asking is, will the naked guy show himself this year'?!

The all-American play by Thornton Wilder, prepared by the University Players will open on Thursday, November 7, at 8 p.m. in Sloan Fine Arts Theatre. The production promises a few nontraditional twists in casting and presentation. All details are being kept under wraps, but the director and the cast promise the audience will be pleased with the results. The play is about the lives and times of the citizens ofGrover's Corners, New Hampshire. It later carries the audience into the lives of the Gibbs and Webb families, "substantial homes containing substantial folks." It also concerns the courtship of young George Gibbs and Emily Webb and their wedding. The audience will also be able to hear the thoughts of the characters and see their symbolical statement of attitudes that never were verbally expressed by them in their daily life. According to the play's director, John Gordon, "Our Town" is currently in production by many theatre companies all across the nation. A Broadway production is in the offing as well. Much of this is related to the tragedy of September 11. Thornton Wilder is Gordon's favorite American playwright. "It's like having a conversation with a being on an elevated plane," he said. Wilder was especially taken by Asian theatre styles that used negative space, pantomime, and Zen-thought. "Our Town" will be performed on November 7, 8,9,14, 15 and 16 at 8 p.m. in Sloan Fine Arts Theatre. The play is free for LHU students; $5 for adults; $3 for high school students and senior citizens.

Some of these include scholj arships and other financial I incentives, and having a guaran! teed job upon graduating from college. However, some people join just for the experience, or the ! opportunity to be a leader and defend their country. This past summer, Lock Haven University ROTC Cadets Dan Thoman and Jason Wright | got the opportunity to attend the U.S. Army Airborne School at Ft. Benning, Ga. The school lasts for three weeks, during which time the students arc required to make several jumps out of a C-130 cargo plane. Training at airborne school is rigorous. Students are up at 4 a.m. each morning, and are dien required to perform some physical training, including muscular exercises and calisthenics, as well as a three to live rnile run. A full day of intense training follows, where students learn vari- . L "*JF ■ oils techniques used in parachui- ing before actually pcifornting their first jump. Most of the «jumps at airborne school arc performed from an altitude of 1,200 feet, which is considerably lower than what a civilian skydivcr might jump from. "Military parachuting... involves getting men and materials to tlte ground as quickJy as possible, meaning no frills, just hurtling to the ground slow enough to prevent serious injury (minor injury is fine, though)," said Thoman. "Army parachutists can have up to 95 pounds of combat equipment weighing them down, accelerating their descent and adding to an already high impact upon landing." Upon completion of the course, each student was awarded a set of silver wings, to be worn proudly upon Uwir uniforms. However, for Thoman and Wright, it wasn't for the sil ver badge that they went to airborne school; it was for the experience.

I had to dodge all the traditional vampires and Scream killerS though. No, Dooley should be something much better than that. After thinking about this for quite a long time, I finally concluded that he should dress up as the one and only Bill Gates. No one on campus will understand this one, unless you're a journalism major, and then you'll see the amusement. You see, Bill Gates is the evilest, most disgusting human being on the face of the earth, or at least he is in the eyes of a certain mass communications professor. That is why I chose Dooley for this position. Bill Gates is a sneaky man. He includes things in his computer programs just to make your life a living hell. Little sneaky shortcuts here and there, and sometimes even the much-dreaded "blue screen of death." Sometimes I feel like Dooley does the same things to us down here in the your Eagle Eye office, just to make our lives miserable. It seems like the computers are always breaking down for one reason or another. I Dooley also kind of looks like Bill Gates; they're both rather tall, and they both wear glasses. If you slap a suit and tie on Dooley, and stuff thousand dollarbills in his pockets, they'd look like long-lost twins.

I was going to say the Wicked Witch of the West, but then I realized that she's not green and she's not mean enough to be wicked. Then I thought maybe the Good Witch ofthe East, but if I'm going to be Bill Gates, I had to come up with something at least a little demeaning for her. You see, Jess is really short. I mean, REALLY short. I never really noticed before until I was talking to her on Saturday and she only came up to about my knees. Just kidding.

Then have her run around going, "follow the yellow brick road," and you can't even tell me that you would know the difference. Also, she has a kind of squeaky voice.

It amazes me the responses and comments I receive from writing letters to the Eagle Eye. At times I ask myself if it's even worthwhile to write about the things I'm writing about if I get the responses I get. But I think I've realized something. Does it matter? If a hundred people think it's totally foolish and only one person is positively affected, it was worth my time to sit down and write it. I write to that one person listening. As for the ones who want to just argue like Mr. Sellers two weeks ago, that's fine. He'sallowed his viewpoint and I'll listen. But again, I write to that one person listening and overlook the rest of the trouble in doing so. I recently felt led to write about a subject that all college students face. It is a question that many freshmen will change their view on. It's a question that I feel is the most important question anybody could ask themselves, "Where am I going after I leave this earth?" I want to focus my attention on a common response that I hear from many university students. It was my view about two or three years ago. It's been said many times, "Well, I'm a good person, I don't do this or that. I am not a murderer or rapist or anything like that." Because I used to think this, I understand the point of view. But I have a problem with it when I look at a particular chapter in the bible. The chapter that comes to mind is in Luke. There are two men praying to God. The first man prayed "God, I thank you that I am not as bad of a sinner as this guy beside me. I thank you that I do not do the things he does." Meanwhile, the second man prayed "God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner." In this chapter, one man realized his need for God; the other thought he was ok. Think of it this way. It is the same thing as somebody in the year 2002 saying, "I'm not as bad as a murderer, I don't sin that bad," or "I'm not as bad as somebody who cheats, steals, and causes a lot of trouble." Though it may feel comforting and assuring that a person is secure because they don't murder, or don'trape, or don't sin "as bad as another" you can bank on it that it's a lie. I'll explain why. The new age idea that a person is good in COMPARISON to another person or group of people is a lie. Though a person may seem good in comparison to a murderer or thief, Jesus and the scriptures have told us that God does not judge you in comparison to other people. He doesn't compare you to a murderer or thief. He compares you to himself. And simply enough, that comparison is perfection. Perfection. God judges all of us by his perfect standard...perfection. That in itself is discouraging. The sad fact is that we are all in trouble because we cannot meet the perfect standard. As hard as 1 may try and as hard as you may try, we'll all fall short (Romans 3:23). Nothing can take us to that perfect standard.

If we kill him, the evil dies with him, but so does the possibility of good. I simply can't imagine that a person is born bad or evil; therefore, good can still be cultivated, or at least an effort made to do so. The best goals in life are usually the hardest to achieve. It's time to give those wardens a real challenge. Nothing can link us to the perfect standard except one person. The good news of the whole thing is that the purpose of Jesus coming to earth was to meet the perfect standard. When a person accepts Jesus into their heart and repents, they're linked to his perfection. Because of what he did on the cross, you meet the perfect standard. Because of what he did. Because of him. Because of his working. Therefore we have nothing to offer God. All we can do is follow. In fact, that's all he asks us to do, follow, and let him do the work. Our workings and our ability mean nothing to him. He could care less about our ability and our workings. He just wants us to follow him. That's it. God asks for our availability, not our ability. I challenge any who are listening to push "ability" aside and open your door of "availability" so that God can change your life. I can make a promise to you. If and when you accept Jesus and make yourself available for him to work in you, your life will be amazingly changed. In fact, don't take it just from me. Take it from the millions of people that it has happened to. God wants to work through you and give you joy. He says he wants to give you joy overflowing. He's just waiting for people to open up and make themselves available.

What if it is to be uphill struggle stant noticed for our positive actions. someone does not clean up after themselves? Should they be grounded from their friends and banished to their room? It seems ridiculous to revoke something totally unrelated to the crime. Which brings me to my final point. If there is a robbery in downtown New York, do the police round up everyone in Times Square and throw them in jail simply because no one came forward to fess up to their actions? No, they investigate. They ask around until they get a lead. They interrogate until someone fesses up. They don't arrest the entire population to pay for his crime. This form of punishment is the easy way out for the authorities. Their hands are clean, and they did not have to do any investigation into the crime. All they have to do is punish everyone in a ridiculous manner, and then hope that they get angry enough with the true perpetrator and find their own ways to justly compensate for their collec- , tive misery. The only problem with this system is in the fact that if this continues, the citizens will become disillusioned about the integrity of their leaders. They will appear aloof and unconcerned about the welfare of those under them. Their position will appear unnecessary if they are constantly requiring their subjects to seek out and punish themselves. So how do they avoid this embarrassment? People should not judge a group simply because they are a group. They need to stop putting predetermined bias ahead of their openminded judgment and just give these newcomers the chance they deserve. They must find a new approach to their reproach. They must think of a more conventional way to deal with problems in order to avoid creating contempt for themselves. When technology goes too far, citizens must take action was a child was: "Never stay in a restroom with a man who talks Dave Barry Knight Ridder Newspapers the plumbing." But of course as a modern human, I knew that this man was talking on his cell phone, using one of those earpiece thingies, with the little microphone on the wire, the kind that people feel they must shout at, to make sure their vital messages are getting through. ("HI. IT'S ME. NOT MUCH. I'M AT THE AIRto * * Dave Barry PORT") It's not clear to me why so many people in airports use the earpiece thingies. Why do they need to keep their hands free? What? Do they expect some emergency other walked into to day suddenly arise that will I The room, which men's them to have both hands require an airport was empty except for one man, free while talking?

If so, an option they might consider is wrapping their heads in aluminum foil. Granted, this would make them look stupid. But not nearly as stupid as they look shouting into their earpiece wires. So anyway, there I was, in this restroom, standing maybe six feet from this guy, both of us facing the wall, him shouting at his urinal about some business thing involving specifications, and at some point he said I swear this is a direct quote "I am handling it." This caused me to emit an involuntary snorting sound (not loud; certainly nowhere near as loud as this guy was talking; just a little snortlet) which caused the guy to stop violating the talking and Number One Guy Rule Of rum his Restroom Etiquette head and look directly at me, so I could see (using peripheral vision) that he was irritated by my rude interruption of his conversation.

We know that technology is a wonderful thing. But at what point does technology go too far? Is it fair to say that cell phones, if used thoughtfully and politely, are OK, but that if a person attaches an earpiece thingy and walks around shouting in public, bystanders should be allowed to snatch the wire and sprint off down the airport concourse, with the shouter's earphone, and possibly even the shouter's detached ear, bouncing gaily behind on the floor? I think we all agree that the answer is: Yes. When technology goes too far, ordinary citizens must take action. But the question is: How do we define "too far?" I will tell you. We define "too far" as "when scientists start putting weapons on cockroaches." _ _ This is actually happening, according to an article in the Sept. 6 issue of Science magazine, brought to my attention by alert reader Richard Sweetman. This article states that at researchers the University of California at Berkeley have been "mounting tiny cannons on the backs of cockroaches." That is correct: These researchers have been outfitting live cockroaches with backpacks containing "plastic tubes filled with explosives." Of course the researchers have a scientific reason for doing this: They are on LSD. No, really, it has something to do with figuring out how cockroaches have such good balance. (You almost never see a cockroach fall off* a bicycle.) The researchers have used their findings to construct a working robot roach that is, according to Science, the size ofa breadbox. Swell! If there's anything this world needs more than armed cockroaches, it's giant mechanized cockroaches! NEWSPAPER STORY FROM THE YEAR 2004: "A homeowner in Santa Rosa, Calif., was found shot to death in his kitchen Friday. Police said the man apparently was felled by 500 rounds of small-bore cannon fire, mostly in his ankles, indicating that this was the work of the gang of armed research cockroaches that escaped from a Berkeley lab. Police said the motive in the slaying was apparently a Ring Ding. In a related development, an escaped robot cockroach broke into an Oakland Wal-Mart and made off with an estimated 17,000 AA batteries." Ask yourself: Is that the kind of story you want to read in your newspaper? Me too, as long as it's California. No, seriously, this is bad. We need somebody in authority to look into this right away.

It's as if we've been dropped suddenly onto a moving treadmill and now must struggle to catch up to our own lives. Things like this don't happen, the voice keeps saying.

Small wonder, when you think about it. We have lived 20 years of relative tranquillity not perfect peace, because there is no such thing, but a time that was, by comparison, quiet. It was a period in which crime fell, the Berlin Wall crumbled, income rose and our darkest fears were suddenly banished to the world of fiction.

For a little clarity, a ghost is defined as the soul of a dead person believed to be an inhabitant of the unseen world or to appear to the living in bodily likeness, to Webster's according Dictionary. Lock Haven University, like many other universities in Pennsylvania and around the country, has its share of ghost stories. In Sloan Fine Arts Center there is said to be a presence of three different ghosts. They have not been encountered by many, but the myth and rumors are still spread across campus about being haunted by the ghosts of Sloan. The first ghost is a very calming woman draped in white. She is seen mostly in the mainstage theater on the first floor of Sloan. The second is a feeling of a curious child usually found in the Countdown Theater on the third floor. This ghost is not seen, but its presence is strongly felt. Junior Alison Lines recalls an experience she had when she was practicing for a play in the Countdown Theater. "We were all upstairs practicing for a play I did as a freshman, "A Girls Guide to Chaos," and we were joking about how there was supposedly a ghost in the theater, all of the sudden all of the lights went out and everyone started flipping out. Finally somebody went to the back and fixed the whole problem, but it was really spooky." The third is a black, fasting moving blur of a spirit that is said to be very menacing. Russell Hall is also said to have a ghost. Her name is Mary and hung herself from the bell tower, and has been haunting Russell Hall ever since. Much like Lock Haven, several other universities in Pennsylvania have been known to have ghosts. At Penn State, the ghost of a mule haunts the Watts Hall dormitory. The mule, known as Old Coaly, was one of the original pack mules that worked to build the university in the 1850's. When Coaly died his remains were preserved and displayed in the Old Main Building. Fire destroyed this building and his remains were then restored in the basement of Watts Hall. He has been reported standing in the hallway outside the storage room in Watts Hall, sometimes his noisy braying is heard coming from behind the locked door. Another haunted spot on the PSU campus is in Runkle Hall. In the fall of 1994, a scene of poltergeist activity happened in a third-floor room. A resident assistant reported that her lights went on and off, loud banging sounds were heard and her mattress and pillow were rising and falling in a regular pattern. The and Fine Arts Performing Center at East Stoudsburg University is said to have a mysterious icycold presence is to blame for displaced objects, defaced name plaques and disembodied voices that plague the auditorium. Also on the ESU campus, the Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity House an apparition of an unidentified owner whose ashes are entombed in one of the fireplaces has been seen. And, a ghost named Margie has harassed the Sigma Pi bothers staying in a third-floor room of the fraternity house ever since it was remodeled in the 1960s. A cremation urn was found hidden between the plaster walls and accidentally spilled on the floorboards. At Kutztown University the spirit of Mary Snyder haunts the central administration building. Old Main. A student at the university, Mary died of heart failure in a fifth-floor room, just days before her graduation in June of 1895. According to Hollow Hill website, most ghosts are seen by people between the ages of eight and 25, and these people do not usually know that the ghosts are using them as an energy source. Because of this free energy, this makes college campuses a very likely place for ghosts to be Photos courtesy of www.lhup.edu Movie REVIEW Jackass: The Movie jumping off of relatively short in their underwear (and then seeing in close-up the condition of their underwear afterwards) 4) men sticking condoms with little toy cars inside them well, I'm sure your up their trees Edward Savoy The Eagle Eye After seeing Jackass: The Movie, I have absolutely no trouble understanding why the rest of the world hates us. This movie is the one film that sums up all that is disgusting, repulsive, and wrong about American culture and society. The fact that I think I actually liked the movie was a fact that made my conscience guilty the entire weekend after I saw it. The "plot" of the movie, as it were, is familiar to any fan of the recently cancelled MTV show and can be succinctly summed up in about three words: men behaving dumbly. Before this movie, I had a certain hopeful, but (I thought) not totally misguided faith that there that some things were were not stupid, humankind macho, or masochistic enough to do. After watching exactly 84 minutes of 1) men giving themselves paper cuts in extremely painful places 2) men snorting wasabi sauce 3) men giving imagination is good enough to guess where, and 5) watching men urinate on snow in a cone and subsequently eating the fruit of his labors, I was completely and thoroughly disabused of the notion that man in general has even a modicum of native intelligence. Rather, it proved to me why women will someday inherit the earth. However, for all of this useless madness, there is still a place in my heart that actually enjoyed this movie (how this reflects on my sanity is quite unknown to me). The men in this movie like Johnny Knoxville, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O, and Jason "Wee-Man" Acuna all seem to be missing a few pieces of mental hardware, to put it the most kind way I can, but, they are idiots with a genuine, almost wholesome innocence about them that forces you to like them and laugh at them even when you know that lighting fire- Many colbuildings. leges and universities in the state claim to have buildings that are haunted.

As much as I regretted buying the popcorn that I (unwisely) bought along with this movie and as much as I winced at some of the stunts (usually while muttering some variant of "Oh no. No, NO, THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO DO THAT.'") I also must say that I laughed at this movie more than I have laughed at any movie in quite some time. It must be remembered that, in this movie, we're not watching saints, sinners, or artists, but holy fools. Jackass: The Movie is somewhat comparable to a group of people on Weight Watchers placed face to face with a box of chocolate truffles: they know that they'll hate themselves in the morning for indulging their sweet tooth, but oh, it'll sure feel good going down. Go see it if you say you must, but make sure you don't eat any food whatsoever for a full 24-48 hours before seeing it.. That is, unless (for some unaccountable reason that only Johnny Knoxville & Co. would understand) you really want to. Halloween than to sit back and watch a truly classic horror movie with some friends, or perhaps that special someone? So, in order to facilitate this truly epic endeavor, I have thoughtfully created a list of the top ten greatest horror movies ever cre- ated. So, without further ado, Number 10: "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". First released in 1974, this cult classic follows an encounter of canni- bals by five twenty-something kids in rural Texas. Featuring the lovable and ever so friendly Leatherface, this movie is not for the squeamish or the feint of heart. 9: Number Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" (1963), which is a classic tale of man vs. nature and the horrible consequences of feeding pigeons Tylenol. Number 8: "Child's Play" (1988) is an ingenious tale of a doll coming to life and running amok killing random people. "Child's Play" is a scary little tale of death and destruction that eventually went on to spawn three sequels with a fourth to be released in 2004. Number 7: "IT" (1990), which isn't really scary unless night. Number 2: A rather excellent underground film that I doubt few people have heard of.

The human body is strong. | But it can only take so much | torture, like the serious injuries I many athletes face. Now I I know that almost every athlete I plays a sport simply for the . love ofthe game regardless of the risks ofinjury, but when athletes ! are faced with serious injuries, they must look past the game and • think about the long-term effects ofthe injury. Professional athletes are exempt from the discussion because ■ they get paid to run their bodies into the ground. Love ofthe sport or not, injuries such as torn ACL's and repeat| | ed concussions are a very serious matter and when a person's I future or life is on the line, the people around the athlete need to I step in and address the risks involved in continuing to play. ! In the case of a star player, the coach or teammates may be less | willing to talk someone out of playing, especially if playoffs or championships are involved. That's where doctors, trainers, and parents need to be the voice ofrea• son. Doctors love injuries, because if they didn't happen they'd be out ofbusiness. That means, no ■ matter how severe the injury, doctors will fix it and let you go out and risk further injury. Athletes don't make rational decisions on their own. Take for example the tragic deaths of a i | Northwestern University and a University of Florida football player in which they were dangerous| ly dehydrated from the heat of training camp, yet didn't seek help because they didn't want to miss I out on impressing the coaches. It's a real shame that players will literally kill themselves to play. I It's no one's fault except for the coaching staff that imposes stringent practice schedules and condemns players for sitting plays out to drink fluids and rest their bodies. I guess most athletes will just say that injuries are a part ofthe game and they are, but think about your future? Think about when you have kids and want to teach them to play the game you love, but • you can't walk because your knees are shot, or the arthritis in your elbow is so bad you can't play ■ catch with your kid...that is a real shame. Sports and their athletes are what make the world go round, and if it weren't for the big hits and twisted body parts, there wouldn't be instant replay. The fact is that athletes need to show some | | responsibility and accountability for what their doing and how itmight affect their future in sport and I in life. J , Jaralai Powell Sports Editor If an athlete goes to play at the college level, it's apparent that j they love their sport. | j Athletes are going to get some kind of nagging injury some time in his or her career. If they don't, they should consider I i [themselves blessed. It's part ofthe game. But if you ask me, the worst 4k part about being injured isn't the pain I have gone through; its Bfl being sidelined and not doing ■ U ■1 Bw what love to do. U B When I was a freshman I tore J my ACL at soccer practice. I | had the surgery, did the rehab, I IH and I consequently had to sit out I ■ |my sophomore year to fully I * recover, then eventually came back for my junior year. Now as junior, I have torn my other ACL at soccer practice and am awaiting surgery. A lot of people have come to me asking whether or not I am going to come back and risk doing it again because 1 "do have to walk on these things" for the rest of my life. I honestly did think that maybe it wasn't worth it. But when I thought about coming back to j j school and not playing, it seemed impossible. The way 1 look at it is: after I am finished here, that's it. So I have one more year ofcompeti- j tive soccer left in my life, so why not take advantage of it? S matters. the hurt knee day I I my love to and that's all that And there is no that play really way I is going to be the last day that I play soccer. I won't go out on a bad note. ' Now these are just my knees. People who sustain serious head injuries might be a different story. A head injury isn't something to take lightly. But some people still go out and take that risk. It's a personal choice, but in the end, it's their duty to face the consequences. I'm not saying athletes should risk their lives for their sport. All I am saying is sometimes from ■ the athlete's eyes, it isn't easy to just walk away. If you walk away because ofan injury and sit there j everyday missing the sport, you probably made the wrong decision. So what if you have to do a lit- | tie rehab, you'll survive. Like I said before, it's part of the game. J Is playing sports worth suffering serious injuries? • 'J '. She Said...

Lindsay Johnson News Editor The women's swim team kicked off their season at the Mansfield Relays invitational meet by breaking two school records, three pool records and qualifying for PSAC's in two events. "Our team is small, with only nine swimmers, but we have already started out doing great things," commented head coach George "Bart" Garlick. Freshman Tatiana Patakyoua left behind quite a wake in the 300 yard butterfly and 400 yard freestyle relays.
