In a lecture given Wednesday night, Dr. Reverend Jamal-Harrison Bryant, National Youth and College Director of the NAACP, discussed racism and the plight ofthe civil rights movement in today's society in a lecture titled, "The State of the Movement." Taj Brown introduced Bryant and Joe Dawkins, a Penn State Student, who began the program. Dawkins introduced the topic of racism with a poem that used McDonald's as its target metaphor, such as "McAmerica" "orders of racism," and "by the way can I have that super-sized?" The poem invited others to "join with me as we get on our knees..." Reverend Dr. Jamal-Harrison Bryant, used statistics and parables to draw the crowd in proving that African Americans deal with racism daily. He sought a solution to the problem by looking at the problem from another angle. He looked at it from the perspective of someone who is forced to deal with Bryant used a story about a python personal views or the media's views. to racism in America.

W infected every day U jj On World AIDS Day, the University ofTexas community has an opportunity to memorialize those who have died from the disease and to raise awareness about the scope of the epidemic and ways to prevent its further spread. Ironically, this year's day of remembrance offers few things to celebrate-the rate of HIV infection in the United States has dropped to its lowest level in years, and new medications are allowing those infected with the virus to live longer and healthier lives. Unfortunately at a time when the epidemic is declining in our own country and the sight ofred ribbons at celebrity galah has become so ubiquitous that it barely merits mention, the risk of becoming complacent and forgetting that AIDS is still a global and outof-control epidemic becomes very real. It's estimated that 50 million people worldwide are infected with the virus, 2.6 million of whom will die of it this year since the epidemic has surfaced. Many developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, are literally being devastated by the infects ofAIDS-in some areas, one in five is HIV positive. And while education about the disease and medical advances have slowed, its progression domestically, the numbers are still tragically large. The statistics for college students' are even more alarming. An estimated one in 500 college students has HIV. In recognition ofWorld AIDS Day many universities distributed red ribbons and information about HIV prevention. Throughout the year many schools offer free AIDS testing, provide educational program and support service for many students. The efforts of health centers everywhere are commendable, but if attention to the epidemic continues to remain a concern merely of public health officials and those in high risk groups, then World AIDS Day could find a permanent place on calenders just as Thanksgiving or Christmas does. |r |k fa fa jnMl 11 Janeen Jones Eagle Eye Reporter Because many offices have recently been moved to the first floor of Russell Hall, a new electronic security system has been implemented in the building. The new unit, called the ProxCard System, is a magnetic lock system controlling the doors, which can only be accessed when a person's entry card is waved in front of the electronic reader on the door. When the electronic reader authorizes the entry card, the doors are demagnetized and opened. All ofthe doors in Russell Hall are connected to the system and cannot be opened from the outside without an entry card called ProxCard II. This card is different from student IDs. Every student in Russell Hall has a ProxCard II. If the card is lost, the access code for that particular card can be deactivated so that no one else can use it. There is a ten-dollar fee to issue a new entry card to students. Besides Russell Hall residents the only other people that have entry cards are the Resident Director, Maintenance, and Law Enforcement. The security system is in conjunction with Russell Hall's fire alarm system. Last year several offices in Sullivan Hall were moved to the first floor of Russell Hall. Because more people were going to be coming in and out ofRussell, the University decided to purchase the security system. The new system was purchased from Best Access Systems in the summer but wasn't activated until mid-October so that the students could get used to the new magnetic system on the doors. One Russell Hall resident, Stacey Kapp, said of the ProxCard System, "They're annoying because its an extra set of keys. You have to take your keys everywhere." She said the new system is especially annoying because you need to take the card with you when you go to the laundry room. Nicole Axtell, also a Russell Hall resident, said she wishes the security system would be turned offwhen students return from a break because it is a hassle to carry around the card when trying to move r ; 7 „ r 8 9 tfe i your stuff back in. Axtell did agree that while she does find it a hassle, she feels safe because of the new security system. Although Amy Dun agreed that the new system was a good idea, she wondered why it was necessary to have the security system and have students show their student ID cards at the desk. Even before desk hours at Russell, anyone without a ProxCard is unable to get up to second and third floor rooms. A few of the students said they were annoyed that they had to come downstairs every time one of their friends wanted to come over. Kapp said, "You can't have random visitors." According to Dwayne Allison, director of Student Life on campus, as far as he knows, there have been no technical problems with the system and if all goes well in Russell Hall, this system, or perhaps a newer version, will be used in all the dorms on campus at a later time.

I would just like to say that I think the University Players and the Department of Speech Com- munications and Theater put on a wonderful production of 6 Characters in Search ofan Author.

I have been impressed by the quality of the performances, and I think that theater is alive actors everyone think about their life just a little more.

A final example of this is in the classified section of thc November 19th issue of The Eagle Eye. There is no Greek organization on campus called "Alpha Sima Tau." The correct sorority is Alpha Sigma Tau. My final comments are opinions. I just need to state for the record that my fraternity, Kappa Delta Rho is represented by KDR or with the proper greek letters. It is incorrect to represent us with the letters KDP It is also unnerving to see fraternities and sororities represented in such a bad light all the time. During the first week of the semester, KDR had an article on our adoption of a young boy in Columbia. This article was placed in thc middle of the paper, which is fine, but it is a shame to see how one small incident involving police and a fraternity is placed on the front page. Many fraternities and sororities do many good things for the community, as well as the university. KDR has been involved in many community services such as Movers and Shakers, adopt-a-highway, and running security for the wrestling event held in Thomas Field House. I know for a fact that the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority (AST), does a Rock-a-thon every year to help raise money for the Women's Crisis Center here in Lock Haven. I admit that some fraternities and sororities need to do more public relations, but then when there are good publicized they are usually pushed to the middle of the paper, rather than being on the front page. I must thank you for your time in reading this letter and I must state that all of the opinions voiced in this article are mine alone and do not represent any organizations mentioned in this arti- cle. Sincerely, Craig S Beck Sigma Pi apologizes for inconveniences Outdoors Editor Advertising guns on our campus. November 19th, I felt I should say something. In the twelfth paragraph it states that I give the choice of either giving the characters a chance or we should move on with our rehearsal. The mistake here is that I justtell the senior actor Taylor that we should give the Characters a chance and that we have plenty of time to rehearse the King Stag later. Finally, this article states that the backstage is shown through a mirror. In truth, the area behind the mirror represents the actual scene in which the characters act out their drama. The backstage is actually in the very back of the theater behind the stage, and is not seen by any of the audience. It would be great if the writers of the article would listen a little closer and ask questions before they print such an article. I laughed a lot when I read this article, but after the front-page article on Features Editors Kristin White Tom Peske Sergio Silva random noises.

'Floyd,' who is played by Scott Schuller, is actually the light technician in the booth. Another mistake that I noticed in this paragraph is that I do not see how I can play "The part of the Craig." In thc ninth paragraph of the article it states that Matt makes the announcement that someone is here to talk to the cast.

I have always boasted to friends at larger universities, such as Temple and Penn State, that in my five semesters at LHU I have never felt that my safety was threatened. This includes the occasions that I have gone out alone late at night, not to mention my life in the dorms and classrooms. Everyone that I know feels the same sense ofcomfort that I do. This indicates of Law Enforcement is serving its purpose effectively. Therefore, why is it necessary for them to carry 40-caliber automatic weapons, even if they are in a "locked safety box" in a patrol car? I don't need protection from my fellow students or myself.

Alcohol was available for consumption with no more than ten cases for a gather of approximately forty people, where each person donated $3.00. The social event was controlled; there was no loud music, no uninvited guests and not kegs of beer. At about 8:30 p.m. Robert Mortensen ofAlpha Sigma Phi Fraternity entered our house with an undercover State Police Officer, Stephanie Ebner. Mortensen introduced Ebner as a friend of the family from home. At approximately 10:05 p.m. the State Police entered the Sigma Pi Fraternity house with a search warrant. The State Police began searching the property and administering Breathalyzer exams to those who were under twenty- one. During the search thc State Police confiscated unopened beer, drug paraphernalia, street signs, carbon dioxide tap, ninetyfour dollars, and illegal drugs. Sigma Pi Fraternity International, Lock Haven University, and thc Interfraternity Council are aware of the incident an it is assumed they will act according- ly. Sigma Pi is currently under restricted social privileges, which has clearly been violated. The brotherhood of Sigma Pi is taking full responsibility for our actions and will work honorably with our international headquarters, Lock Haven University, the State Police, and the interfraternity Council in addressing all charges and violations. As a result of this incident, the Sigma Pi Fraternity house is current "substance free;" no alcohol or illegal substances are allowed on the property.

Guns, guitars and grizzly bears No, this is not thc latest country and western song to grace the charts, but just a recurring thought process I had over the past holiday break. I saw my very first living bear in the wild. Luckily for my car and the bear, all was seen in a safe manner while traveling through Cowan's Gap State Park. It really was quite memorable as I drove past the hairy creature. not a hunter and I do not have any statistics about the number of deer in this area, but there must be a direct correlation to food or shelter, Let me know if you have any other theories here, because I certainly am not that well versed 3 I just wish I could've taken a longer look at him. Spotting deer was my foremost thought and it really was a sur- Si . I may just be getting old and realizing that the longer I wait to start these types of things, the harder it will be to do them. But the twist I have on these types of things is that I would like to do them well into retirement. I'm planning to learn different languages like Hebrew to help me better understand the sometime and see some real bears. I've heard it's quite hard to see them other than when they try to fit their bulky frame through the window of a Geo [vd« malic anyway;in comparison to the scrawny black bear that was running away from thc local hunters.

I'm one of the few and the proud, Clearfield branch campus alums that made the frequent trip through Clearfield county, well known for its wilderness and hunting.

It may seem a bit strange that I own two and don't even play, but someday I hope to be able to keep up with my good friend Brad Dally. He already has a couple years on me, but I'm determined, because there is nothing better than sitting around a campfire and playing for hours. Learning to do something brand new, in the past two or three years has been something of a developing philosophy for B|MBfBlBJBJBJBlBJBIBMBMBMr3Jr3jgjBJr2J|[°]| how many you see near the roads and the number of hunters. I can't imagine that such an overabundance of hunters are forcing the deer out of their areas. Like I said earlier, this year seems to be abnormal, so habitat can't be that much of a factor to keep them moving on to find in hunting theory. The other aspect to the title this week is one that I've been contemplating for quite a while. I really would love to learn to play the guitar. I'm hoping to get the time to do just that, once I get a job. The ability to use my free time for something other than school work should help. I actually own two different acoustic guitars. The first was one that I bought over a year ago and the second is an way things were. It's just something like that, that I hope will always present a challenge in my life. Yes, I know what you're thinking and I would be the first to agree, life has enough trials without you adding more onto it. One of the verses from thc Bible that really encourages me to keep on testing and stretching myself, is "be focused and know the testing of your faith develops perseverance, so that you will not lack anything." Testing yourself and overcoming the seemingly impossible will only make you more complete and ultimate- ly happy. If not from thc biblical roots, the logical nature of the notion makes perfect sense. Pick yourself up on your worst day here at LHU and firmly believe that there is a better day around the corner. If not for who you are right now, do it for the person you will become.
