Jeremy Pearson Guest Writer The Pennsylvania Culture Festival, lead by Dr. Myers and the Environmental Focus Group of Lock Haven University, was held at the last college Thursday. Art, music, history, and tales of old were given to students and the community who were excited to celebrate Pennsylvania's rich culture. To kick off the event, Melissa Becker, a Pennsylvania fiddling champion, shared her talents in front of Russell lawn from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Even with the bell tower providing sufficient distractions, she managed to impress her audience with her foot tapping tunes. The event moved into the PUB from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. where students from Professor Hafer's Pennsylvania Authors and Professor Washington's Creative Nonfiction classes read personal stories written about their personal experiences of growing up and learning essential skills for life in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Fireside Tales. Fraizer presented a slide show of pictures and art to compliment his stories. The stories were about his grandold father as an logger Pennsylvania and the conflict of his early relatives with the Native Americans. He told his stories with great detail, putting into perspective the dangers ofthe environment and people along with the mind set of Pennsylvanians from Fraizer long ago. seemed to not be a problem to the large attentive crowd enjoying old stories about their home. He then accepted and questions from the audience, speaking to them oneon-one and signing copies of his books. After the readings, artwork from Jeremiah Johnson titled "The Story of Job" were set up in the back of the multipurpose room for visitors to exiting enjoy. Johnson says the work is from his alter ego named Job Johnson, a fictional but historical artist who lived Central in from Pennsylvania 1860 to 1930. The art was created with by drawing graphite on hand-made paper. The pictures were then placed in hand-made frames made of branches. Johnson says the he is "interested in blurring the lines between fact and fiction through art, history, and folklore." Dr. Myers said that he and the Environmental Focus Group of Lock Haven University have wanted to hold a cultural event like this in the past, but things just didn't fall into place. As said by Myers, "I thought we had a great turnout with all the events from the music in the morning, the poetry and the folklore in the afternoon and finally the folklore tonight. I thought the audience was substantial and attentive. I liked the way everything came together." After the success of this first event, they hope to have more in the future to come. S.C.C. Executive Board Elects sworn into office for 2010-2011 term Senate passes bill to repeal Policy No. 1 Arianna Schimek A&E Editor On the evening of April 21, the S.C.C. held a Senate Meeting in PUB room 2, and proceeded to swear in the new Executive Board Elects for their 20102011 Term that will officially begin July 1, 2010. President Pete Hertzog, Vice President Kori Birch, and Treasurer Phoebe Yates were sworn into office by current SCC President, Brent Frederick. Tm really happy to see Pete, Kori, and Phoebe in office. They're taking a lot of initiative, and itH be interesting to see how they do. I think their ideas to move forward and rebuild the S.C.C. will really benefit the S.C.C. as a whole as well as the student body," said current S.C.C. President, Brent Frederick. Senator Michael Mehrazar requested that the discussion of a new bill be added to the agenda that was followed by a brief recess for Mehrazar to print copies of the bill for everyone to read. After heavy debating over the bill, it was passed by Senate with a vote of 7 to 1, with one Senator who abstained from voting. Not all Senators were present at the meeting. Policy No. 1, a policy that requires an individual to get two signatures from either the S.C.C. Vice President, President, Treasurer, or Director of Student Activities, in order to gain access to or copies of any S.C.C. documents, records, etc. Rather than needing to get two signatures from S.C.C. officials, the new bill states that, "All S.C.C. members, includ- . ing but not limited to students, Senators, and Executive Committee members, may have access to or copies of any | Ik ' I S.C.C. documents, Bt^'l .1 records, invoices, etc. within a maximum of five business days, unless an appeal is made by both the S.C.C.

But we would Guest Writer sflemingf&lhup.edu "Take Back the Night" was hosted by the Lock Haven University's Women's Coalition at 7 p.m. in front of Russell Hall this past Monday. The event featured several faculty members addressing the group on sexual violence awareness and by sharing personal stories. The event also featured a walk around Ivy Lane on campus to promote the Women's Coalition and a stand against sexual violence. "The Women's Coalition hosted the Take Back the Night (TBTN) event in order to encourage local participation in the global campaign to end sexual violence," said Dr. Elizabeth Gruber, Associate Professor of English at Lock Haven University and the faculty advisor to the Women's Coalition. "The Women's Coalition reaches out to both women and men by hosting events that raise awareness for issues that are often too sensitive to talk said about," Tierney Ulmer, a sophomore and the treasurer of the Women's Coalition. "We are also available for people to come talk to us and we do what we can to help them find the help and resources they need." According to Gruber, the Department of Justice statistics indicate that in 2008 more than 222,000 women in the United States were raped. On average, a woman is raped every two minutes in this country. "The most basic survivors by sharing their stories and initithe ating healing process," said Gruber. "Marches, rallies, and forums in support of TBTN are crucial opportunities to illuminate the pervasiveness of sexual violence." "Take Back the Night" began on March 4-8, 1976 in Brussels, Belgium. Two thousand women representing forty countries attended at The International Tribunal on Crimes against Women. That event was the first documented Take Back the Night march. It was a candlelight procession ' through the streets of Brussels, "About Take Back the Night, I have the sam e to message women and men: let's work together to cornbat the realities of sexual violence. After all, the grim statistics provided bY the Department of Justice warn that all of us know someone who has been victimized. Let's do what we can to help her," said Gruber. Dr. Gruber is the Director of the HOPE Center and the chair of its advisory board. Members of the board also include: Dr. Nicole Burkholder-Mosco, Dr. Laurie Cannady, Dr. Gayatri Devi, Dr. Tara Mitchell, and Dr. Lisette Schillig. The HOPE Center's mission, according to Gruber, was to be a resource for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. "With the establishment of the Campus Violence Prevention Program (CVPP), which is funded by a federal grant, the HOPE Center's pri- very much like to continue building on the work we have already done," said Gruber. The HOPE Center hosts events for the Lock Haven Campus like poetry readings, film screenings, lectures, and "brown-bag" discussions of issues relating to gender and social equity. The HOPE Center is also available to student who host groups events or sponsor programs that coincide with the mission of the HOPE Center. "We have had several students volunteer at the HOPE Center, and we are always looking for help," more said Gruber. "One of the best ways to get involved would to be help us promote events and encourage attendance and participation at the programs we host or sponsor." The HOPE Center is located in East Campus in Room G204. "Take Back the Night gives us—all of us, male and female — the opportunity to understand how widespread this problem is, and to transform our knowledge into action. Speaking can be a powerful act, but so can listening," said Gruber. "TBTN encourages all of us to be mindful of what others have endured. But I do want to emphasize that a key goal of TBTN is to help victims feel more empowered. Optimism about the future, and not despair over the past, is the driving impetus of TBTN." It)! Children's Festival : fif I, fc-jj- The Student Recreation Center Saturday, April 24th :00 - 4:00 pa 100 rounds of Chatroulette Jack Kelly Marquette Tribune Marquette U. UWIRE I was completely thrown off by Chatroulette. A friend recently sent me a video of Ben Folds using the social Web cam site at a concert. He set a laptop on his and piano improv-serenaded whoever popped up on the screen, from a Viking to a sad-looking kid who stared at the crowd from his bed. The video was funny, but I couldn't understand why peowould ple spend their time alone, online, looking for whoever it is you find on Chatroulette. That sparked me to conduct my own to investigation, delve into the Chatroulette world. So I decided to sit 100 chat through partners and find out what it's all about. For those who don't know, chatroulette.com is a Web site that sets up a video chat between you and a random stranger anywhere in the world. When you get connected, you talk with that person via Web cam and IM until clicks somebody "next," and you're another assigned person. Pretty wild. My plan was to sit through 100 people and note what I saw, but as it turned out, half of those 100 "nexts" I clicked were because of the same reason: male genitalia, and grown men talking in baby voices. I saw two guys I had a short conversation with a guy from Mexico who was a Chatroulette epidem- • ic. There are apparently a staggering number of creeps who get their kicks by exposing themselves to unsuspecting viewers. It was startling to say the least, but most of all, gross and terrifying. If the people I saw on Chatroulette gathered one in physical place, I imagine it would be the unemployment line mixed with detention mixed with an insane asylum. It's chock-full of full-blown weirdos. my From limited time on the site, I saw girls dressed as gorillas, men in drag Hands down, though, the highlight of my little experiment happened when I was getting bored around the 80th or so "next," looking forward more to the 100th and final chat partner than another dude showing me his goodies. After a few boring exchanges, up popped a framed picture of Chris Hansen, of "Dateline NBC: To Catch a Predator" fame. Hansen's picture stood there, silently judging me, and in the chat box to the right read: "Why why don't you take a seat? Have a seat right over there." I'm not sure there's an actual productive use for this thing. Marketing research, maybe? To me, it seems like a time-waster, more like the game Web site Sporcle than anything pro- ...

It's someplace to go when you're bored or your friends have stopped listening to you, and you get the urge to be bizarre somewhere. From its users to its creation, everything about Chatroulette is surreal. 17-year-old A Russian kid started the site with the help of his parents' $10,000 investment. As of last month, he still operates it from his childhood bedroom. As many as 1.5 million users are on it at a given time, and he sustains the site with revenue from an online dating service placing ads on the site. All things considered (and omitting the unfortunately prevalent indecent exposure), Chatroulette is pret- ty entertaining, but only when taken in very small doses. After I signed off, I felt like I had to shower and go to church. The site is gaining popularity, and growing at a frenetic pace, but I doubt I'll be going back there anytime soon.

When asked what each guest considered to be the most important thing that needed to happen in the world, Page answered this: colonizing Mars. "He couldn't do that," Auletta said. "But Google has colonized Earth." Auletta, author of "Googled: The End of the World as We Know it," spoke at Indiana U. about the impact Google has had on the world in regards to education, advertising and Hamm said Auletta is a great writer and over the past few decades has profiled some of the biggest people in the field. With countless information only a click away, Auletta said Google transformed education, both for the good and bad. He referred to a moment when his nephew wrote a paper that received a When good grade. Auletta asked him where he found the information, his nephew admitted to using Google. "It's not the same," Auletta said. "You lose "It made everything something." He emphasized the accessible," he said.

Auletta said the founder of Google does not understand the importance of copyright for a writer. A man he interviewed for the book proposed he publish it online for free. Auletta said this was impossible, asking who would pay his salary and who would market his book. There are many forms of media suffering from the online technology, and Auletta predicted many more magazines and radio stations to close. "Some be will saved," he said. "Some can survive." Resources are shrinking for these media though, and he admits it is a tough time for journalists. Yet there is a good side to the Internet, he said.

Whales have the largest brain of any other animal and are also revered as the smartest being able to compose whale songs which are far more complex than any other human song. Their song unfortunately ends after they are slaughtered by fisherman. Harpoon hunting has been practiced since 6000 B.C. when whales were needed as a necessary food source. By today's standards, whale meat is not a necessary nutrient for the human body like it might have been back in the ancient days. It was normally used by people in the arctic regions for the high fat content needed for survival. Today, these creatures of the ocean are forced to have a slow and agonizing ending after having their flesh punctured by harpoons. These gentle giants finish off their life in distress and fear as the throbbing pain fills their system with nothing that can do to stop it. Some standard harpoons originally used were found to be cruel. This led to the weapons having explosives in them to in order to quicken the death of these animals. Although the death process may be sped up, this does not make the harm any less excruciating as the explosion occurs inside the whale, blowing up bits of its organs inside the body. Although some believe it is just whales that are brutally slain in these fashions, it is shown in the Academy Award winning documentary "The Cove," that dolphins are also affected by this. 23,000 dolphins are killed each year due to Japan's whaling industry. Some dolphins suffer a worse fate than the whales through the use of knives and spears that they are cut with on fishing boats. With tuna fishing, some dolphins are caught in the nets and at one point were cut into the tuna meat that was then packaged and put on store shelves. Presently, there are "dolphin safe" labels on canned tuna. However, to according Greenpeace, a nonprofit organization devoted to environmentalism and tranquility, it is found that sharks and other sea animals are not noted as also being caught in tuna nets. For those that do not hunt whales, dolphins or any other water life with harpoons or spears, there are ways in which one can serve the sea. Cut up six pack soda rings before disposing of them to prevent animals from getting entangled in them. Never release balloons into the air because after they deflate, they can land in the waters and animals can ingest them. One case found that a 60 foot sperm whale died after swallowing a balloon which blocked its stomach therefore causing it to starve. Finally, always remember the three R's, recycle, reuse and reduce which will not only help the ocean, but the entire planet. Many animals of the ocean are affected by the whale hunting industry. Like writer Dave Barry stated, "The real threat to whales is whaling, which has endangered many whale species." The United Nations developed the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) which works on the largest preservation organization known as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Right now there are 160 governments which remain true to the convention. Since the birth of the treaty, no species under its protection has been destroyed. This can hopefully end the disappearance of animals forever. Ridiculous working cond itions Thumb/ Up Ww ■Ml ■ ) WmWrnm ... 1& Thumb/ Down • • • ■ ■ ■ V ■ BBi Thumbs Up.

Barnes said this is significant for the treatment of children with physical chronic illnesses. "It is an important clinical point that we really have to talk to these kids," Barnes said. "We need to ask them how they are really doing, because they won't tell you if you don't ask." Dr. Michael Resnick, professor in the department ofpediatrics and adolescent health, said the children are going through a developmental period, and the change occurring in the child's body needs to be taken into account. "The stuff that is going on in adolescence is mind-blowing in terms of their emotional repertoire and the ability to think and abstract," said Resnick, a coauthor ofthe study. With this kind of development, Dr. Donald Brunnquell, director of the Office of Ethics for Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, said chronic illness has an effect on how the adolescents view themselves in everyday life. "It affects their social interactions with friends and family," Brunnquell said. "It affects their image of themselves, which is in a constant state of flux." Dr. Sarah Jerstad, child psychologist for the department of oncology and hematolat Children's ogy Hospitals, said the unfamiliarity ofthe situation is another factor that contributes to the increased risk of selfharm. "Kids have not really been exposed to the system," medical Jerstad said. "It is a whole new world." Brunnquell said the experience of a chronic illness also takes a physical toll on the adolescent. A physical illness affects hormonal balance, ability to eat or sleep and cognitive abilities, according to Brunnquell. "Children can feel really off-balance with these kinds of sympBrunnquell toms," said. Jerstad said that for all these reasons, her counseling of children going through cancer is crucial. "It is a preventative measure," Jerstad said. "It is a high-risk population, and they are going through a really tough treatment." If a child has a chronic mental illness prior to being diagnosed with cancer, it is important to identify it, according to Jerstad. To assess a child's mental state, Jerstad said a screening process with the child and his or her family occurs at the beginning of the child's treat- ment. After the screening process, Jerstad said she either recommends her services or simply offers it. "I just want to let them know you and your child are going to be going through a lot," Jerstad said. "It is a life-changing process." Barnes said counseling like this is more effective than medication in decreasing instances of self-harm, suicidal thoughts and suicide. "They are developing at such fast rates that they can rewire their brains pretty quickly in a positive way," Barnes said. Brunnquell said the cost of this kind of counseling along with medical expensive treatment contribute to it not being more common. "There is a lot of pressure to reduce costs in treatment, and this gets in the way of making these services freely available," Brunnquell said. Regardless of this cost, Resnick said effective counseling makes a crucial addition to the overall quality of the treatment. "It distinguishes the great practitioner from the good practitioner," Resnick said. "One that knows, despite the health challenges, we are still dealing with a young person."

However, children A study at the U. Minnesota revealed a considerable increase of self-harm in youth going through a chronic illness. Adolescents ranging in ages from 10 to 19 showed a considerable increase in instances of suicidal self-harm, thoughts and suicide when afflicted with mental and physical illnesses, chronic according to Dr. Andy Barnes, lead author of the study and assistant professor in pediatrics and adolescent health. Barnes said chronic illness affects the youth in a way that is unique, and it stands out from other factors in the adolescent's world. "This is independent, and they contribute cumulative risk above and beyond things like poverty or coming from a broken home," Barnes said. Adolescents going through a physical chronic illness like cancer or asthma had about a 20 percent increase in self-harm, suicidal thoughts and suicide, according to the published study. The study showed that children with only mental chronic illness had more than double the risk of having an instance of self-harm occur, which is not surprising, according to Barnes. "If you commit UWIRE April 22 suicide, you probably seniors lucky enough to get into Cal have been subjected to two things: profuse congratulations and a specific question from that conservative authority figure, perhaps a teacher or an uncle. The question usually goes like this: "Berkeley? So you're going to become a hippie/stoner/hobo now?" This is usually followed by a hearty laugh reveling in one's supposed wit. I got all the congratulations, but definitely not the question. The commentary was far more pointed. My favorite teacher, who had gently poked fun at my political views all through high school, chuckled sarcastically, "Oh, you're going to have fun with all the liberals!" Like many refugees from communist countries, I've always had a deep appreciation for the freedom this great country affords. This background has led many of these refugeesCubans, Vietnamese, become Russians-to committed conservatives. So it was natural for those who knew my views to be surprised to see me matriculate to Berkeley, a famed bastion of leftism. More than that, they thought the political atmosphere here (or at least the one they imagined) would be something I could not tolerate. In fact, the decision was not difficult. Berkeley was the best school I got into and offered a tremendous value for the money. (It really does-far inferior schools charge as much in tuition a year as Cal does in four.) Simple as that. The politics never figured into it. I did think about that factor-both town and gown indeed have a reputation for being intolerant of dissenting views, namely conservative ones. I recall when enraged protesters forced their way past police barricades, preventing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu from making a speaking engagement at the Berkeley Community Theatre. I remember when eminent Islamologist Daniel Pipes had his lecture on campus disrupted in a vile fashion. But I also knew that any reputable university, outside of a few have differing views if nobody cares anyway? As one of my professors, a former Bush 41 speechwriter, told me, there is no better place to refine one's political views than in a hostile environment. That argument only goes so far. I did not want to go to college to promote any political ideology or to "create change." My goal was to do well in school, get my degree and have a good time while at it. I knew none of that had anything to do with pol- itics. My freshman year, I was not disappointed. Sure, I had talks about politics with my floormates in the lounge. Many found my views alternatively appalling and humorous. (Some still fondly recall when I would, a forty or two into the night, sing "Rule Britannia" to commemorate the lost glory of British imperialism.) But my politics never defined my relaChristian institutions, tionship with the peois predominantly leftple I have encountered ist-a function of the here.

So I don't have to. Conversely, if you're somebody who wants to be especially involved, you can easily find the outlet for that. Let's go back to that snarky authority figure cracking jokes on how Berkeley is filled with hippies and communists. More likely than not, he is stuck in a view ofcampus straight from the '60s. I don't think everybody was particularly involved back then either, but you won't hear much about the kid who took his classes quietly, avoiding the campus activism. But the causes were certainly more engaging then than they are today. Most of the discontent that has fueled activism Berkeley recently stems from tuition fee hikes. As unpleasant as they are, they lack the same ability to galvanize students in the same way free speech issues, the Vietnam War and ethnic agitation did in the '60s. There is just no issue today that has the same ability to inspire apathetic students. This has been one of the most politically active in years Berkeley's recent history. We've seen rallies, marches, riots and a divestment battle. Yet we can safely say the spirit of the '60s is behind us. Instead, we have a campus where it is equally easy to get involved in politics, as it is to avoid it.

Questions linger about possible Big Ten expansionMichael wrong," Maturi said. "It ain't going to happen in weeks." The initial December statement from the Big Ten indicated the exploration process would take between 12 and 18 months. Gophers football head coach Tim Brewster is a proponent of making at least one addition to the 11-member Big Ten so the conference could hold a nationally televised conferchampionship ence football game. A 12th member would enable the group to hold a conference championship, as many fellow Bowl Championship Series conferences do currently. "I think that we're kind of sitting at home watching while others are out there really doing some good things and getting a tremendous amount of exposure for their teams and their conference," Brewster said during a teleconference last week. While a conference championship game would provide an additional source of revenue for the conference, it remains unknown whether it would increase the share each of the Big Ten's member institutions receive. The conference allocates television and bowl payout revenue evenly among its universities. Not all conferences all revenue split equally among their members, which could make a move to the Big Ten more attractive for some. The Big 12, for example, divides half of its television revenue evenly, but the other 50 percent is distributed based on the number of appear- Rietmulder Minnesota Daily U. Minnesota UWIRE Ten Jim Delany and a number of Big Ten presidents and chancellors met Sunday in Washington, D.C., to discuss conference expansion while attending Association of American Universities meetings. A December announcement from the Big Ten that the conference would consider a possible expansion has made waves throughout the world of intercollegiate athletics during the last few months. the Despite discusramped-up sions, U. Minnesota Athletics Director Joel Maturi said the conference is still very much the in exploratory stage and that it's too soon to speculate which team — or teams — the conference may add. "I think I can very honestly and safely say that somebody's throwing something against the wall and [hoping] it sticks, because I think it's completely premature to believe that talks of expansion are to that level at this time," Maturi said. Maturi said he expects an update on the exploration process at the conference's annual meetings between coaches and athletics directors, which will be held May 17-19 in Chicago. Many questions need to be answered before the conference can move forward with expansion, and not every Big Ten athletics director is entirely certain it is ances. the right move.

Universities rumored to be targeted by the Big Ten include Rutgers University, the University of Connecticut, Syracuse University and the University of Pittsburgh from the Big East, as well as several Big 12 teams such as the University of Texas and the University of Missouri. Along with Texas, the most high-profile school to be mentioned as a possible Big Ten addition is Maturi's alma mater, the University of Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish enjoy football independence, meaning they have no conference affiliation, but it is a Big East member in other sports. Maturi said he doesn't envision a scenario in which Notre Dame could join the Big Ten while maintaining their football independence, which is something its alumni support. don't think "I Notre Dame alumni would like to see Notre Dame in the Big Ten," Maturi said. "I believe that's one of the reasons they're not in the Big Ten right now. It's because their alumni have treasured their independence and have felt that it's one of the great uniquenesses of Notre Dame." Paterno said he would like to see the Big Ten add a team from the east to broaden the conference's television market, but he said any new member must fit the high academic and athletic standards of the Big Ten.

Berger J-on tirerardi Guest Writer an entire semester of hard work, audi- bloan, but it took When Lock Haven student Joshua Miller started looking for someone to direct a play for Spotlight on Diversity, he got a hold of senior Stephanie Reynolds to direct it. Reynolds was more than thrilled to direct a play, something she's always loved to do. When she then found out it was Lorraine Hansberry's 1959 play "A Raisin in the Sun," it made her even more excited to direct it. "I am a huge fan of Lorraine Hansberry and I absolutely love the play and the movies that followed," Reynolds said. "I always wanted to either direct this play or act in it and when I had the opportunity to participate, I couldn't say no!" The on Spotlight Diversity play occurred a few weeks back on March 30 in 4 loyal people to pull off the great show. "A Raisin in the Sun" is about an African-American family livin g on the South Side of Chicago in the 1960s. Tne play starts out with the Youn gers family about to receive a $10,000 insurance check from the deceased Mr. Youn ger. Everyone then has tneir own thoughts as to how the money should be spent. All of the Younger's conflicting ideas about fulfil"ng their own dreams occur as tne Pla y Progresses.

Aaron Jackson 's facial expressions whlle Pla yin g Bobo kept not only cast laugning, but the directors as well. Nana Bem Pah gave off a positive energy that kept everyone motivated. Jessica Asher played the role of Travis and their lines during rehearsals. Erin Kelly, playing Beneatha, was never lacking suggestions for Reynolds. The role of Ruth was played by Syetta Penson, who came in and took the role over just a week before the March 30 date. "Mama" was played by Ashlei Perry, who brought a very powerful portrayal. All in all, Reynolds said she couldn't have pulled the play off without everyone involved. "The most rewarding thing I took from directing this play was the memories of rehearsals with my cast; I had the best cast!" Reynolds said. "I also have to personally thank Joshua Miller for all his hard work and believing in me that I could make this play come alive and put on a great show. If there was any advice I needed, he was there to give it to me and make suggestions. I don't think I could have done it without him." Spotlight on Lake any the stress and i of putting a play together isn't just before the curtain rises, it goes on until the final line is spoken on stage or the actors take their final stage direction and the curtain closes. It was then when Reynolds and Miller finally could take a sigh ofrelief. "I was so proud of my cast and I thought that they did a great job," Reynolds said. "I was more than happy with my cast performance. All the long hours and the stress, in the end it was simply something to be proud of." If you happened to miss Spotlight on Diversity's production of "A Raisin in the Sun," you can still catch some of the theatre department's productions here in the final few weeks of the spring semester.

While a movie like this is obviously Grade: D going to include a lot of explicit sex, drug — — was something new this year that the theatre department wanted to try to put on for the Lock Haven community and in the end, it all worked out for a great performance. Reynolds and Miller started auditions beginning the first week of February and had rehearsals after they selected individuals three times a week for roughly an hour each night. "It was very stressful trying to direct the best play possible because when it comes to my work, I am a perfectionist and I wanted to make sure that when people left the theatre, it would be something positive that they talked about and something that they enjoyed," Reynolds said. "I never want someone to se my work and think negative of it." That perfectionist mindset is what helped Reynolds and her talented cast and crew to produce a great rendition of "A Raisin in the Sun." Diversity play Music majors performed an array of pieces in Tuesday evening's student recitals. Students took turns climbing the stage Price in Performance Center, where they were met with much applause for their talent and hard work. They played a wide range of instruments, such as the xylophone, guitar, piano, clarinet, trumpet and French horn, while others sang tenor and soprano. The performances ranged from classical music to modern songs and pieces from popular entertainment. When asked what preparing for the recital was like, the general consensus among students was that preparation was busy and took some time. While some students were not able to choose the pieces they performed, others were given that freedom. One student, Amanda Eriksen, said she sang, "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" because she was "looking for a gospel and Moses Hogan is a great composer." The performances ranged in mood, language and pace. Accompanied by the piano,"Sometimes piano, oometin I Feel Like a Motherless Child," is a modern song anyone feeling lonely or having a bad day can easily relate to. Students who have seen Tim dark lyrics and love story. Amidst the modern songs from the 1900s, there were also songs that frequently switched languages from English to German to Italian. "Se tu 'ami, se sospiri" was sung in Italian by Kirstin Russell and accompanied on the piano by Rebeccah Leiby. When asked what preparing the piece was like for her, Russel simply said it was stressful. The songs by the two final students contrasted each other in pace greatly. Mozart's I "Movement (Allegro) of the Sonata in C Major" was fast and snappy. However, Chopin's "Prelude in E Minor" helped to conclude the evening well with its more relaxed pace. Tuesday's recital provided many students with the opportunity they needed to graduate. The usher said some students had yet to meet the number of required student recitals, and this provided them with an chance to meet that quota. Each performer did very well, and the music department was beyond proud ofthe students. Be sure to not miss the next performing arts event to see more great performances.

Together, they moved to Lock Haven in 1902, buying the building at 106 East Main Street. They lived there for years together, until Ira passed away in 1935. Mollie and Ira ran businesses and rentals, held lavish parties at the local armory, and were involved in the community, especially regarding education. Mollie, especially, was concerned with the education of the local children. But when anyone thinks about Mollie, what they remember most are the clothes. Mollie loved brightly colored, wild clothing. She was often seen on Main Street, parading about in bright red or blue outfits, her slip showing, wearing the same vivid red hat. By today's standards, the outfits would be considered decent, even conservative. But viewed from the thirties and forties, they were scandalous, enough to keep Mollie from winning an election for the school board at one point. Mollie once confessed to a friend that when she traveled out of town by train, she carried a more respectable set of clothes with her. She would change clothes on the train, to be taken more seriously at the location of her arrival.

So, what's on your literary the week? A. Sex, Lives of Cannibals by J. Maarten Troost for Posthumanism, and the play Fences by August Wilson for Pennsylvania Authors. Q. You really seemed to enjoy the Troost book in Posthumanism on Tuesday. What's that one about? A. Have you read this? Just the back of the book makes it sound great. His restlessness and lack of direction...the book is just his trip to this island in the middle of the equatorial pacific, aka the middle of nowhere. But intertwined is Troost's confusion and frustration with life after he graduates from grad school. I connect to Troost in a million ways. It always feels like we spend our lives chasing after that magical diploma, but when we get there we wake up and wonder why we stressed ourselves for so much time. So he ditches all the plans he made for his future and heads out to this lonely little island. Nevermind the fact that it turns out to be a complete third-world hell hole. I wish I had that courage. Q. You're not looking forward to graduating? A. I am and I'm not. I've been trying to graduate for five years. It's my ultimate goal. It's the reason I wake up, if I wake up, because I have to if I want to graduate in twelve days. But I'm terrified of it. I'm terrified to leave. I'm completely institutionalized. I'm worried that all I've learned and worked for will amount to nothing. Even though I know the intrinsic value of it all is worth something, it still terrifies me. I know I'll make it, it's just hard to accept some days. Q. You reading anything for yourselfright now? A. Technically everything I'm reading right now is for class, but that's kind ofwhat happens when you take four English classes at once. When I'm done with the semester though, I'm running to Border's to get Hugh McLeod's first book How to Ignore Everybody and 39 Other Keys to Creativity. Q. Sounds...interesting. What's it about? A. He shares all of his gathered lifelong secrets on how to balance being a creative person in the business world, not losing your edge. Beware of hobbies turning into jobs. Keep your day job. Riddled throughout are all his "cartoons drawn on the back of business cards," these sketches full of social commentary. Funny, owp ng at the Roxy: help you improve. Q. So what are YOU afraid of? A. Everything. And nothing, all at the same time. Fear of graduating, fear of growing up, fear ofresponsibility. Fear of being found out that I'm a hack, a horrible student, whatever. Make sure you get the fear of failure and success. Fear of wasting my life. And all those other little fears of spiders and ants, too. Should we talk about what I'm NOT afraid of? While I'm afraid of all those things, I'm also not afraid of them. They paralyze me, but when the time comes to jump, I always seem to make it and always seem to land on my feet. It's a very strange dichotomy. Q. You Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking by David Bayles. How come? A. I'd recommend Writing from the Inside Out by Dennis Palumbo, too. One's about art and the other's about writing, but you can apply them both to your life. They are written specifically for creative people (artists, writers, whatever) about all the issues we run headfirst into when we're trying to do our thing. It doesn't matter what it is, these irrational fears and issues that plague us from writer's block to fear of success...these books focus on all those thoughts sneaking around our brains threatening to kill our creativity, sometimes ones we never knew we had. When I read the book about writing, I was making art. When I reading the art book, I was writing. Even if you're not a writer or an artist, you can still apply the concepts from these books to your life. It doesn't matter what we're creating, there's always a level of fear involved. They're the best books I've read that Sarah and Jared on the English approach these topics and actually Club's Boston trip this past March.
