EAGLE E^TE Vol. 64, Issue 2 Wednesday, September 20, 2006 Debate ensues over arming campus police Len Mahonski Staff Reporter The Council of Trustees is planning to review the university's policy regarding the use of firearms by campus police. Currently campus police arm themselves in emergency situations only; the new policy, if approved, would allow officers to carry firearms on campus full-time. The current policy requires firearms that are issued to campus police be locked up at all times. As it stands now, a dangerous situation or emergency must arise first before the officers are able to unlock their weapons and arm themselves. According to Richard Hepner, director of Law Enforcement, violent crime on campus has been on the rise and the main objective of law enforcement is to ensure the safety and security of students, faculty and officers. "This change in policy, if approved, would help to ensure that safety," said Hepner. Marissa Brunner/Eagle Eye In the past, during dangerLt. Dennis Grenninger is armed while on duty.

Nicholas Kapusta, 20, a LHU sophomore/junior from Sellersville, was taken to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville for treatment of a cerebral hemorrhage. Due to his extensive injuries, Kapusta was subjected to a medically induced coma, a step doctors take in order to relax the brain and reduce swelling and pressure. "He [Kapusta's father] and the mother are very concerned," said Chief Hocker, who has spoken to the father since the incident. Jacob Abel, a senior LHU student from Wind Gap, was treated at Lock Haven Hospital for less serious injuries and is recovering at home. Abel and Kapusta have been the only names released of those involved with the brawl, although according to Hocker. there is one more victim, possibly six suspects and four witnesses that are being questioned in the investigation. The confrontation took place at 1:50 a.m. in the 400 block of East Church Street and though Hocker was not at liberty to divulge too much See, Brawl, A2 Campus equipped with life saving devices Fundraising goal almost accomplished ews lassifieds pinions Student's condition critical Former student publishes novel See B8 Automated External Defibrillators (AED) are becoming a more common sight in public spaces. On campus, they can be found at Law Enforcement as well as at all campus sporting complexes. An AED is a portable lifesaving device that is either in a stationary box or in a portable case. In the event someone goes into sudden cardiac arrest, a person trained in AED use immediately administers CPR and attaches the AED's adhesive electrodes to the patient's chest. The AED then analyzes the heart's rhythm and either uses an electric shock to correct the fatal irregular heart rhythm or tells the user to con- 1^ tinue CPR. If the heart is fibrillating, twitching uncontrollably, the AED shocks it. This electric shock causes all the hearts' muscles to contract at once and hopefully restore itself to a regular beat. In instances of cardiac arrest, time is the most important variable. According to the American Heart Association, a cardiac arrest patient's chance of survival drops seven to ten percent for every minute without defibrillation, and after eight minutes death is near certain. American Red Cross statistics 200,000 indicate that Americans die of sudden cardiac arrest every year, and up to 50,000 of those deaths could have been prevented if an AED had been available. The university has had an AED for about six years. Portable AEDs are in campus Field Hockey dominates the competition See Bl I H \wAm\\ Marissa Brunner/Eagle Eye The infirmary is one of a few locations on campus that has a defibrillator. law enforcement's vehicles.

Campion received a ticket on the first day ofclasses having not realized that the parking lots had been changed. Since the switch, parking tickets have been on the rise, according to Judy, an officer of campus law enforcement. "I'm surprised at how many tickets I have written out," said Judy. When Judy took the job for this year, she had the option of walking or riding a bike. She chose to ride the bike because it's a lot easier, which she has become more aware of since the increase in violations. "I do have better access being on the bike. 1 don't really like writing out the tickets but I have to," said Judy. Many students may not realize that there are other parking lots open to them, such as Jack Stadium or behind the Student Recreation Center (SRC), Judy pointed out, adding that another less innocent motive may be fueled by the desire to park closer to campus. Either way students are facing a challenge in finding parking spaces across campus.

Indiana University of Pennsylvania and California University of Pennsylvania are the other two. Renninger is extremely excited about the benefit event. She said that it's great that there are so many people out there coming to support a cause. In preparation for the event in Philadelphia, Renninger and her sister try to walk every week to get ready for the 60mile marathon. The Breast Cancer 3-Day is held in 12 different cities.

Harvey has replaced Dr. Roger B. Johnson and is ready to take on the responsibiltics and rewards that come with her two-year term. Harvey has been a member of the Lock Haven Staff since 1989. When asked how she enjoys her new position she responded, "It is both challenging and rewarding, sometimes both at once." With a reputable background - a bachelor's degree with the highest distinction and honors from Pennsylvania State University, a master's degree at Brown University at a doctorate and Pennsylvania State University Harvey appears to be an obvious asset to the university's collection of deans. As the academic head for the college, Harvey's responsibilities include dealing with personnel issues as well as thc budget. But in many aspects, her duties fluctuate daily. Though she enjoys her new position, the new dean says that she misses teaching; this is the first time in 20 years that Harvey will not be in the classroom.

On a regular basis, the bar has weekly drink specials and live music. Erin Hippie Staff Reporter Uncle Albert's Restaurant transformed a normally mild Tuesday night into an evening of live music, cheap drinks, prizes and excitement last night as they held their 10ycar anniversary party. Owner Lenny Gugino began planning this bash over thc summer as a tribute to thc establishment he has owned and operated for an entire decade. "After 10 years, Uncle Albert's deserved a party," said Gugino. "It's a way for me to pay homage to live music and good times." With pitchers of beer $2 cheaper than normal, live entertainment provided by Steve and Todd from State College, free merchandise from Yuengling, Miller Lite and Uncle Albert's, the ovcr- 21 crowd was bound to have a Sood time "I've never done anything like this before," said Gugino. "Every year we have a Mardi Gras party, but this is the first time I'm celebrating our establishment." The party started at 9 p.m. with happy hour from 10 p.m. - 12 p.m., but Gugino and his staff had been preparing for nearly three weeks. "The best way for me to advertise was handing out small slips of paper with the event on it... so maybe when a student reached into their pockct for money for a cup of coffee, he'd pull out the paper and say, 'This might be fun!'" said Gugino. The anniversary celebration proved to be a success with many different age groups.

They were able to win hats, shirts, coolers and glassware, have a great time and hopefully gain some new customers," said Gugino, "Pretty much like a Friday night in the middle of the week." Although Gugino is not sure whether or not this will become an annual anniversary bash, the Mardi Gras celebration will continue to be held every year, "Friday marked thc 32nd anniversary of the Rush, KISS, Blue Oyster Cult concert held at the college.

The APSCUF (Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties) was first founded in 1937 as a faculty union for both faculty and coaches. APSCUF represents 6,000 faculty members within the State System of Higher F.ducation. Haven's Lock local APSCUF chapter represents 300 faculty members including full-time and temporary APSCUF deals members. with issues like class sizes, the quality of education for students and salaries and benefits for faculty members. APSCUF meets monthly to discuss issues that are important to faculty members and students. Currently, APSCUF faculty union contract ends June 30. Already, there are many issues emerging in regard to faculty contract negotiations. One issue that Dr. Mark Cloud, APSCUF chapter president, sees as a potential problem is the correct limitations and allowances of power. "Balance of power between faculty and management is important," said Cloud. Large class sizes arc just one of the issues that have impacted both faculty and students. "Large classes can prohibit the quality of education," said Cloud. "We are forced to do it and it takes away from the learning experience". An additional problem is maintaining the quality ofeducation for students. "We don't have teaching assistants at Lock Haven because it takes away from the quality of education," said Cloud. An added concern that is important to APSCUF is salaries and benefits. "Right now, salaries for faculty are at the median. We need better salaries to recruit more faculty," said Cloud. "It is important it remains at level so that we can stay competi- tive to compete with other universities." APSCUF's local chapter has already begun writing to management to discuss those terms and others that APSCUF considers to be significant. Management and APSCUF will meet every month to the contract. negotiate However, State APSCUF President Pat Heilman has taken a more forceful position. "When our contract ends, our work ends on June 30," said Heilman. APSCUF is also concerned with the salaries and tenure of coaches in addition to those of instructors. "Minimum salaries should be negotiated," said Cloud. "Also, management refuses to make connection between keeping a coach and their performance. This is missing from our contract and should be there."

"There's been an extra leap in problems this semester," said Officer Tom Winters, commenting on this season's increase in violations. In an effort to combat the escalation, police have resorted to joint efforts in targeting the offenders. The cooperation of local agencies makes for more resources and manpower and has been made possible by a recent grant by the state that helps enable the region to better battle underage drinking. Joint enforcement can be requested formally in advance if local police are aware that they will need more officers ahead of time or if local officers need immediate backup for a particularly dangerous or complicated incident. Having been able to use the grant money for a little Winters, who Hocker calls the "resident expert" on the grant, voiced worries over the efficiency of the grant money now that such troubles have grown. Worried about threats of vigilante reactions to unruly partiers, Hocker would like to see his efforts result in less underage drinking and in a level of self-control for those who can legally drink. One way to attempt such deterrence is by increasing the number of officers that patrol the area in plain clothes. Unable to spot the cop immediately, students give themselves away before having the chance to flee. This tactic, according to Winters, will follow the trend of the offenders and will not subside until the number of problems do. Says Winters about these new tactics, "People are going to have to worry about going around every corner." rc^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ =^_ j The p raeC o, Lock Haven University's yearbook is back!

As religious people, it is our duty to demonstrate that is not the case. Any use ofreligion to support violence is an abuse ofreligion." *° - Pope John Paul II at an interreligious assembly in 1999 Religion is a topic that people feel passionately about, be it in a positive or a negative light. Those of us who have taken the time and interest to formulate various opinions on this issue feel inclined to fiercely defend our views. Some may even defend their ideologies to the death. According to an Associated Press article on Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI recently addressed Regensburg University professors and quoted from some medieval text the words of a Byzantine emperor. This emperor stated that the teachings of the Muhammad, Islam's Prophet founder, were "evil and inhuman" and called Islam a religion spread by the sword. These public words caused an outrage among Muslims around the world and especially among Islamic extremists. On Sunday, Benedict said he was "deeply sorry" about the hurt that was caused by his verbiage, according to an AP article posted on Monday. He said the words came from writings that did not reflect his own opinion, but the pope did not apologize for repeating the ideas. Here is where the conflict arises. Few Muslims and others in the Islamic world felt that the pope's apology was sincere. They are currently waiting for him to offer a better one - one that is more to their liking. The following is a statement from the Mujahedeen Shura Council, an organization of Sunni Arab extremist groups in Iraq, quoted in a Fox news article on Monday: "You infidels and despots, we will continue our jihad (holy war) and never stop until God avails us to chop your necks and raise the fluttering banner of monotheism, when God's rule is established governing all people and nations." That's a fierce and rage-filled comeback directed towards the Roman Catholic Church. There have been protests in South Asia and Indonesia regarding the pope's speech. In southern Iraq, some demonstrators carrying black flags burned an image of him. There is even an investigation under way to connect the murder of an Italian nun in Somalia on Sunday to the angry and bitter reactions of the pope's address. Truly, religion is something people feel strongly about. They die for it. They kill for it. I commiserate with the idea that religion can create a strong passion within a person and transform their lives. What I do not comprehend, is how any religious group would resort to violent words and actions and genuinely think that they could permanently mold the world into their own sacred Utopia. This is why religion is such an intense topic. It is used as a tool to inspire, to be optimistic and to give people a purpose in life. It is also used as an excuse to start wars and.to kill people. Holy war is an oxymoron. How can any peaceful resolution come out of the slaughtering of thousands of innocent people? How can a love and harmony in the world be won with bloodshed and mass murder? How can any religion promote such tactics, when at the core of their beliefs we find compassion, basic human kindness and understanding? Pope John Paul II said at an interreligious assembly in 1999 that, "There are some who claim that religion is part of the problem, blocking humanity's way to true peace and prosperity. As religious people, it is our duty to demonstrate that this is not the case. Any use of religion to support violence an abuse ofreligion." m§ We know it's never fair or just to generalize any groups of people, including religious organizations, Let's look at some facts. The Roman Catholic Church has a lengthy history of religiously persecuting people. The Spanish inquisition is an exampie. They expulsed Jews from Spain and repressed the protestants. The European Wars of Religion, the Crusades and the Reconquista are other historical examples of "holy wars" that are frequently cited. We have also seen Protestant Christian "pro-life" bombers attacking and killing employees in abortion clinics, We have the Muslim jihad, an Islamic term which has several meanings, one of which is an inward spiritual struggle to attain perfect faith. It is entirely possible to find some history of violence in almost any religion one thoroughly researches, All these acts, violent and gruesome, appall me at the depth of my spirit. I question who is fighting whom? Is it truly the Middle East vs. the West? Christianity vs. Muslims? Does each group sincerely trust that their beliefs will reign in the end? The harsh reality is that the conflicts that religion presents will never disappear as long as there is this world we live in. The beauty in our planet is that we are all different - culturally and spiritually. This is also the curse of the world. Although we are united as humans, we clash in countless ways, religion is just one. Instead of loving our neighbors; we despise them. We intrinsically reject what is not real or meaningful in our own hearts and minds. We fear difference. I do think that human beings as a whole are inherently good. They seek to protect and provide for their loved ones and their community. But, we ignore strangers. We cast aside those we deem unimportant. Each religious group is so thoroughly convinced that their philosophies ring true that they fail to. explore the multiple possibilities that life has to offer. When we can al fathom the idea that perhaps everything we have ever learned could be false and accept the many potentia alternatives to our views, we wil become a more harmonious human The plight of undocumented workers Laura Taylor Cornell Daily - (U-WIRE) ITHACA, N.Y. Imagine that you are a top-ranking official in the U.S. government. You have control over most sections of government, as well as a strong influence over those parts of it that you don't directly control. What would you change if you were in this position? You could create a universal health-care system or allocate more funds to our nation's public schools. You could put a moratorium on the death penalty or withdraw troops from Iraq. Or what about this option: You could use your power to deport a single mother who is struggling to give her only son a better life in America. Well, if you were a member ofthe current administration, you would pick the last one. The woman in question is Elvira Arellano, who was born in Mexico but has lived and worked in the United States as an undocumented immigrant for nearly a decade. During her time here, she has also founded "La Familia Latina Unida," an organization that provides aid to undocumented immigrant families. Recently, Elvira was issued a deportation order, obligating her to return to Mexico. The problem: Her 7-year-old son, Saul, was born in the United States, and is, thus, a U.S. citizen. This deportation order would force Elvira to leave her son, who is currently being treated for ADHD. So, instead of complying with the order, Elvira has taken refuge in the Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago, 111., where she has been a parishioner for years. With the federal government unwilling to enter the church to retrieve her, Elvira continues to resist her ordered deportation. But why does it matter that one woman almost 700 miles away from Ithaca, N.Y., is resisting her deportation, especially when there are 12 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., including 500,000 others facing deportation orders? First, Elvira is a perfect example of the plight facing undocumented immigrants in this country. Consider why she came to the U.S. in the first place. Her family consisted ofrural farmers, living off the proceeds of their crops for years. However, as neo-liberal policies supported by the U.S. government like NAFTA came into effect in Mexico, Elvira's family could no longer make ends meet off theirfarming. Cheap agriculture from the U.S., supported by government- paid subsidies, flooded the Mexican market and forced families like Elvira's deeper into poverty. In order to try to provide a better life for herself and her family. Elvira came to work in the U.S. Like so many others, she had to sneak into the country because, although neo-Iiberal policies have made it easy for money and goods to flow across borders, movement of workers is still heavily controlled. Elvira, along with the rest of the undocumented population, is not simply some lazy individual looking for a free ride from the "generous" welfare system in the U.S. Rather, she came here to work so that she and her family could lead a dignified life. Another reason why Elvira is a perfect example of the plight of undocumented workers is that her deportation is being done in the name of"national security" and "the war on terror." Since 9/11, the government has dramatically increased its raids on the undocumented immigrant population. The government and the mainstream media tell us this is being done for our own safety, to "protect us from the terrorists." While I want our country to be safe just like any- one else, I cannot understand how deporting a working single mother is helping us win the war on terror. These immigration raids are simply being used to divert the American reignite the immigrants' rights movepublic's attention away from the ment.

Freedom ofthe press means that government isn't supposed to influence what the media covers. Hussein's arrest clearly contradicts that American ideal.

If that treading lightly deprives the American public of even one story or photo that shows what is truly occurring in Iraq, then we might as well throw that whole holding-the-govemment-accountable concept out the window. It's a bit hypocritical to champion democracy in the Middle East while urinating all over it behind closed doors.

It is if they do not live on this planet. Don't get me wrong, I have liberal friends and such, but I would never want to see them in any facet of state or national government. The ideas and speeches they come up with are something out of Mother Grimm's fairy tales or something. Ed Rendell our governor, better known as "Fast Eddie," is unfortunately one of those people with the disease of liberalism on national defense. At the National Conference of Editorial in Convention Writers Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania he was asked a question on what he would do about Iraq if he were President of the United States, God forbid. He brilliantly first responded by telling the pundits that asked him that he is not running. Well thanks for answering the question nobody asked Ed. He was probably stalling for time before he muttered some of the most idiotic words I have ever heard come out of a public leader's mouth. He said, "I would go to Iraq and ask to be on TV throughout the Middle East and I'd say, 'We came here with the best of intentions and wanted to create freedom and democracy for all and 3,000 Americans have died. It is clear to me we have become the main problem. I'm going to ask the international community to develop a peacekeeping force and reduce our presence. We're going to help you build houses, provide aid and economic opportunity for your people.'" Yay!

It took Germany many years before they were reunited and back to fully functional after World War II split the country into an eastern and western half. As for us being the problem, again the left side errs. The problem is the extremist strain in the Islamic religion perverting the religion of Islam. I am not bashing Islam for you PC police out there. Almost every religion has Christianity. (I recommend seeing Jesus Camp when it comes out.)

The winner gets to come to my place and I can push him into traffic so he daily functions of life or freedom, I expect to see most people choose freedom. You can see this happening in Iraq now, if you can cut through all the media gloom and doom that provides nice fat happy ratings and look you will see. A recent Pentagon report stated that violence may be prevalent in areas, but the attacks are not targeting the Iraqi government. Why? Because the Shiites are the new majority and do not want to lose that again as they had under Saddam Hussein. The fighting is mainly a vicious cycle of violence between Sunni terrorists and Shiite militias. Even the repulsive Moqtada alSadr has ordered his 20,000 Mahdi army not to attack coalition troops helping to protect the government. A couple of years ago before the government was established, that would not have been the case. So again. Fast Eddie must eat his words. Knowing Rendell, that should be a pleasure. I hope the next time he has a thought or an idea, that someone shoves a Philly cheese steak in his mouth that he loves so much. - Cold War a loss of funds Joseph Melber Guest Columnist It seems to me that nowadays at the exact moment an individual is identified as "communist" or "socialist" he or she is subject to public disgrace and the inability to run for office. Even today, that individual is incapable of getling a visa if they are a member of a communist political party (by law). The United States likes to think of itself as the most accepting country on the planet in terms of ideas. This may be true if only because the most accepting societies have been destroyed due to wars created by the industrialized west, as I have mentioned in my first article in this series jbased on the library of Alexandria. I, however, cannot Jstress enough the importance iof communism as a competing idea with capitalism, i Although communism has for so long been seen as a system which emphasizes sloth, it js best to look at it from a different angle. Communism is a system which helps those who cannot help themselves as opposed to capitalism, which so often throws these less fortunate ones to the side in an jeffort to achieve high growth. ; It is true in fact that Helen Keller, a woman who had to struggle with multiple handicaps throughout her lifetime, was a radical socialist later in her life and helped many communist leaders become elected in other countries. The reason she fought for this was not because of a hate for America, but because her personal suffering directed her to a system which assisted individuals with disabilities instead offurther disabling them economically. While I am playing the devil's advocate in some regards by being a "survival of the fittest" type myself, I would much rather compete ideologically with the unacceptable idea of socialism than to have to compete with its apparent American replacement Christian capitalism. This is a concept which I define as an economic system relying on a religiously homogeneous population to correct for social market failures. The Cold War was the single greatest waste of government funds bar none. The Cold War in effect was the largest military mobilization in preparation for the end all apocalyptic war which has since been portrayed in many films. The - truth of it is that the majority of the expenditures were for conventional weapons, such as tanks and fire arms. They were not for duplicating nuclear weapons which trump the conventional ones anytime and anyplace. This was not only a great loss due to the fact that most of the revenue of a war time boom was lost to weapons fabrication rather than to research and development, but also due to the greatest illegal distribution of all time of a single model of a gun, the AK-47 which accompanied the collapse ofthe Soviet Union. War time booms can be outlined to you in any EconlOl course and I recommend you take one of these courses. The AK-47 is a submachine gun favored by many gun-users over even the M-16. After the collapse ofthe Soviet Union they went to anyone who had a reason to kill at a rock bottom price. The distribution heated all wars across the planet in the same way the creation of crack fueled the drug trade in America. Today you can open a newspaper and see a picture of a child involved in a civil war holding an AK-47, despite the fact that AK-47s have not been fabricated for a number of decades. If I was to extend this column series of historical events negatively affecting the world today to a top twenty, I can guarantee that the AK-47 would have a place on it. Now it is time for the moral of the story. Besides don't shoot people and don't let governments with military stockpiles collapse, don't dismiss views because they contradict or even simply don't parallel yours. I often see people going to great lengths to talk themselves into their own political ideology on a certain issue rather than seriously consider the other side's argument. The truth of the matter is that very few people will ever be completely compatible with a single and widely held view point, even less with the two majorpolitical parties. Believe in what you believe in and leave settling for presidential elections. ***This is the second in a series often columns concerning the top ten historic events that have the greatest negative impact on life today, according to this writer.

"He has been in touch with a lot of history," said Sharon Taylor. Director of Athletics. "He has experienced and lived the history of many groundbreaking events." In 1946, "Jumpin' Johnny" Wilson came to fame when an integrated leading Anderson High School team to the Indiana State Basketball Championship. Following a record-breaking 30-point performance, Wilson was given the Mr. Basketball award and thus was the number one selection to the Indiana AllStar team.

Wilson has had several achievements throughout his athletic career, most notably being elected to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame and being named the greatest athlete to play basketball in Madison County, IN. Besides his long list of honors, Wilson is also highly recognized for his healthy relationship with his players and the community. "He always showed how much he cared for his players when he coached," said Wilson, Jr. "He tried to make their experience meaningful. He never tried to take advantage of them." Through his experiences and accomplishments of athletics during a racially sensitive era, Wilson became a very respected individual. "He is true gentleman," said Taylor. "He brings civility to sports, which is something you do not see much these days."

Tobacco sales halted on campus at the beginning of semester Sara Gerber Staff Reporter In an attempt to prevent a rise in student activity fees. Student Cooperative Council (SCC) President Matt Wise has made some changes on campus - among them, tobacco sales in the Parson's Union Building (PUB). "It was a financial decision," Wise said, commenting that it was not about what is right and wrong, what is good for you and what is not. The SCC had been selling cigarettes and smokeless tobacco for years on campus much to the dismay of the Students Pennsylvania Working Against Tobacco (PA SWAT). PA SWAT started a petition last year and got over 600 signatures to stop the sale of tobacco products on campus. The group enforced its petition by creating a PowerPoint presentation about the harmful effects of tobacco products. PA SWAT presented its petition to the SCC but was told that they would vote on it at a later date. The SCC had already been looking into the financial state of tobacco sales in the PUB and Wise made an executive decision to stop sales as of May 22, 2006. Wise said that selling these products ended up costing more money than was being made. Before the decision was made, the SCC talked to other campuses and found the same situation elsewhere. "The reason behind it was solely for the finances of the students," said Wise.

For some people, that may depend on how many homers Ryan Howard, of the Philadelphia Phillies, ends up with. To others, unless he hits over 73, there is no debate. However, after reading this article, you may have a different opinion on this issue As of the 1998 season, Roger Mans held the single-season record for most home-runs in a season with 61.

Pros, cons of student housin accomodations Kara Wilt Staff Reporter With college admission comes a lot of new responsibilities. As freshmen, students are all too excited that they are moving out of the shelters of home and into a world all their own. "I couldn't wait to get out to school. I wanted to prove to my parents that I could really survive on my own," said sophomore Blane Fenning. What students do not realize is that their parents are secretly just as anxious as they are for the first couple of weeks. They think about things like: will they find their plus being campus is that the students have easy access to quiet studying facilities that some off campus dwellers may not.

Fortunately, for the parents, freshmen are required to live in the dorms; they are not completely on their own. Some students complain about having no choice but to live in the dorms, but they will later realize that it is vital to the college experience. By living in the dorms, many students say it makes it easier to develop friendships and encourages them to meet new be just as simple as walking down the hall for some peace and quiet. When students live on campus they have a lot of opportunities at hand. On more than one occasion the resident halls sponsor trips and activities at little or no cost to the students. Not only To begin with, you're on your own! It's something students dream of for years. Finally, that chance to listen to loud music whenever you want, eat all the junk food that your mother always warned would rot your teeth and walk around in thc nude. Well, that is, as long as your housemates do not mind. In fact, that is another good reason to live off campus. You can pick your own roommates. More times that not, the people that students get paired up with in the dorms would not be their first "My first roommate and I didn't get along from day one. She liked peace and quiet and I had to have at least some noise at all times. The saying opposites attract was not be true in our case," said former Lock Haven student Ashley McGinley.

Also, if new students find themselves in an uncomfortable situation, they have people they can count on. Their resident advisors are on call 24/7 to answer any questions, help with any problems or simply lend an ear to a student who needs to talk. that, but campus activities are their fingertips.

Art forms merge in Crucible Sara Gerber Staff Reporter The Crucible, Lock Haven University's literary magazine, which isn't scheduled to be available until mid-April, is already in the works and new ideas are in progress. While the magazine has published student submitted poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, paintings, photographs and pictures of sculptures in the past, new editors Kayley Thomas and Jessa Hoover seek to include critical essays, excerpts from graphic novels and comic strips in this year's edition. Thomas and Hoover also wish to emphasize the definition of the word crucible, which is the melting of substances, together throughout the magazine. "I'm really excited to be doing something so important to Lock Haven," said Thomas. "I think the Crucible has the potential to represent every student on campus, and 1 encourage anyone who is interested to get involved because ultimately it should be a fusion of different art forms, different talents, and different ideas." Hoover echoed a similar sentiment. "The whole process ofputting together an arts and literary magazine really combines a lot of different talents from many students on campus," said Hoover. "One ofthe benefits of having such a publication on campus is that it builds community within the university, allowing students to share their and creativity with one another."

The weekend is still two agonizing days away, but you have to unwind tonight or you'll crack. What better way to ease the tension, you think, then to gorge yourself on Chinese food? That, unfortunately, is where thc dilemma begins. There are two "all you can eat" Chinese buffets in the Lock Haven area. Main Cheung Chinese Kitchen and Variety Buffet sit at opposite ends of Hogan Boulevard in Mill Hall and both offer massive portions of delicious food at reasonable prices. I am here to offer you an inside look at these I two Asian and make your sion just a little easier. Undertaking task of this magnitude required assistance expert, so I the help of my sister, Jessica, whom I have many Chinese buffet L owners rue thc I phrase "all you eat." Our first stop was Main Cheung ■ Chinese Kitchen, which is advertised as having the "best Chinese food in town." My expectations were raised by this brazen claim and, to my delight, were not to be dashed. My initial reaction upon entering Main Cheung was glee at the selection. Main Cheung's buffet tables feature all of the Chinese dishes that Americans love: lo mein, egg rolls, sweet-and-sour chicken, fried rice and many others. There are also some unexpected choices, such as potato skins, onion rings and potato salad. The food quality at Main Cheung is outstanding. My personal favorite straightfrom-the-buffet item is the cheese wonton. Cheese wontons are no match for the Hibachi grill, however. At Main Cheung's Hibachi grill station - which is included in the price of the buffet you are able to choose items from a variety of meats, noodles and vegetables, and watch as a chef grills them. This was by far my favorite part of the meal. As if all of that were not enough, Main Cheung also boasts a desert bar and selfserve hard ice cream. The meal was topped off, of course, with the customary fortune cookie. Jessica and I left Main Cheung a little heavier, but we both enjoyed the meal. I had no reason to doubt Main Cheung manager Joe Yip's claim that many LHU students enjoy eating there. "We have been here for many years," said Yip. "Many college students eat here." After day's rest. I Jessica and journeyed farther up Boulevard utilize our criminati palates at mim i Hall's other! Chinese restau-1 rant, Variety Buffet.

Now for the moment of truth: Which restaurant is better? There are several factors to examine. Price is not an issue. Both restaurants offer dinner buffets at a reasonable $8.45. Both restaurants offer take-out, although only Main Cheung offers delivery. Both restaurants are decorated in Chinese style, but Variety Buffet has a fancier, more modern look. Variety Buffet, as the name implies, has a greater variety to choose from. Ultimately, it is a matter of taste. If you are inclined to eat healthier or more traditionally Asian foods, then Variety Buffet, with its salad bar and sushi, is the place for you. If, like me, you tend to favor greasy goodies, then Main Cheung's bacon-wrapped shrimp and pigs-in-a-blanket are right up your alley, My stuffed sister echoed this sentiment, "Main Cheung tasted better," Jessica said, "but Variety Buffet had a better selection." Whatever your personal preference, the most important thing is to loosen your belt buckle, step up to the buffet table and enjoy. Or, as the Chinese say, chi hao!

If so, then adding Eddie Dove's novel "Who?" to your reading list may be a good idea. Dove, a 2005 Lock Haven University graduate, wrote "Who?" not only because he sought to challenge himself, but because he wanted to take a shot at impacting the world surrounding him in a positive way. "I feel that once one learns who they are, their level ofself worth is raised," said Dove. "Once their self worth is raised, they take more pride in not only themselves but also in their surroundings and everything pertaining to them." Dove believes the benefit of reading "Who?" is that readers will get answers for themselves. "We have all asked at least once in our lives the question, 'What is my purpose?' This book is a way to acknowledge those questions internally, while avoiding the typical self help format." "Who?" is the story of a young man, Khaliq, who is trying to find out who he is and where his place is in the world. The reader follows Khaliq through his questions, thoughts, dreams and nightmares. In the novel, Khaliq and his romantic interest, Tiffany, have a rocky and tumultuous relationship, with neither of them knowing the extent ofthe importance and impact they will have on each other. Much of what Khaliq goes through in "Who?" parallels the experiences Dove witnessed while attending Lock Haven. "LHU played a huge part in this particular work. The first college sweetheart, drama within clubs and organizations, the pressures of being yourself yet still trying to be accepted," said Dove, listing off descriptions he has in common with Khaliq. Dove lists his friends from Lock Haven, classmates, faculty, staff and administration, and his family as his biggest Sept. 21, 22, and 23 supporters. "I feel like a heavyweight champion with a huge budget, because I have so many people in my comer. It is the best feeling ever," said Dove. Lock Haven students are proud of Dove and impressed that he is not afraid to pursue his dreams. "He makes his dreams a reality. 1 think everyone should go out there and pick up the book, to not only support Eddie, but to find out who he really is inside, since the book is based on real life and real situations," said senior Kristi Moyer, a friend ofDove's. Dove is currently a counselor/teacher at Glen Mills School for Boys, which is a placement for court adjudicated youth.
