Students raise money for homeless by spending a night in their shoes Lisa Schropp While most people were trying to escape the rain Friday night, 81 students spent the night out in the rain to raise money for the Horizon House, Lock Haven's only homeless shelter. Despite the bad weather, members of Pi Sigma Phi, AmeriCorp. Men's Lacrosse, and Psychology Club, stayed in Triangle Park from 7 p.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday morning. While staying true to their cause, many students ventured out from under the shelter of the pavilion and slept in cardboard boxes with only a tarp to keep them dry. Others walked around town, getting donations from drivers and pedestrians. "Even with the bad weather, the students still did a good job of getting out there and making themselves visible," said Chris Connacher, AmcriCorp VISTA volunteer. "I was happy with the way they conducted themselves while walking around town, as well as in the park. There were Frisbees and other recreatio materials available for the students to entert themselves with, but the weather was not ideal such activities. Instead, they socialized and tOi their own T-shirts. "Considering the rain, we're doing excell said Kristi Godin, organizer of the event. "I everyone a lot of credit who came out and b< it." After all their efforts, the volunteers rais about $800 for the Horizon House, which was dire need of the funds. According to Connach> Horizon House has said that "The Sleepout for t Homeless" is their biggest fundraiser of the enti year. (Below) The homeless do not have a choice when it comes to sleeping outside in the rain, and the students who participated in the Sleepout for the homelessness Friday night did not let it stop them either.

Not only are there more technological advances that are putting strains on the big budgets of universities across the nation, but now Facebook has been added to the requirements that many students insist universities tap into for the pleasure of linking to fellow students, whether attending thc same campus or any other university hooked by the Facebook lure. Facebook, much like Myspace, is a website that allows users to link to friends and any other people that may intrigue them. The only catch with Facebook is it's unique constraint that allows only universities signed up to the website to allow their students to access the site. Using your university email address and a password that is specific to each individual, the user is then linked to any other person who is on Facebook. "I personally enjoy the fact that you can link to people from Read all about this years spring football game! Bl high school and catch up with them," said Sacha Wolf. "I haven't talked to some people I graduated with in a few years and now we can message whenever wc get thc chance on Facebook and it's that easy. If it wasn't for the site I probably would have never got back in touch with them." Some features ofFacebook are friend lists, birthday updates, course listings, messaging, poking and profile descriptions. Course listings allow anyone to link to other individuals whoare involved in the same courses. Such an aspect can help break the ice for anyone taking a class where they are unfamiliar with anyone else in the same class, or possibly for large lecture halls where very few students receive the opportunity to meet and greet with very many classmates. Messaging is just like emailing, only in this case it occurs through the Facebook site. Poking is probably the most rare element ofthe site, but it's difficult to describe, only that when someone opts to poke you, you inevitably poke back. Yet another aspect of Facebook are the groups that have popped up either by sponsoring, such as the Apple group or PINK by Victoria Secret's, or groups that have been created exclusively by occupants of our own Some groupsthat have been ed by Lock Haven students are unique to the include, Bentley Food Killed Sarah Fraley Is the R.A.... 100 Hot Girls Lock Finest, and Your Mom Goes College. Some groups are sive. but not because they are better than others it's just that moderators of the groups can choose how thc groupis managed. "There seems to be a wide variety of groups ranging from Greeks to certain wings of dorms and just random people joining together." said Michelle Koch. As quickly as Lock Haven University was added to the Facebook family. Lock Haven students were up on the site posting their profiles for everyone to view and many were already racking in friends from not only Lock Haven, but other various universities involved with Facebook. How word travels so quickly is unfathomable to those whoare not familiar withthe wonders ofthe internet world. With so many students, especially here at Lock Haven, linked to each other through AIM and other various messaging services it was only a matter oftime before word got around. April 27, 2005 A2 OfHIOI Way Out Mete What's our age again? Matthew McKeague Weekly Columnist I'm sure there is at least one other person here on our Lock Haven University campus that will shout some kind of encouraging statement when they read this. Well here goes, while I do enjoy the campus, there are problems with it. Here are some of the problems, minuscule in importance or not. I have noticed with thc university. Thc lack of respect people have for what the campus looks like is a big problem. We have had vandalism recently including the flooding of Robinson, the destruction of teacher's doors, and it makes us look bad. Watermarks, destroyed water fountains, purposely clogged toilets and sinks; it sounds like an elementary school for crying out loud. I thought people were supposed to mature a little in college, and yes a lot of us do, but there arc quite a few ofpeople on campus that couldn't care less. Also, who puts the bubbles in the fountains? Sure it was funny maybe the first few times, but it is dull now. Creativity didn't kill the cat, so think ofsomething else better to do that doesn't make our campus look like a joke, although after 1 mentioned the killing ofa cat. some ofyou may be thinking up plans to (ill the fountain with dead felines. Just stop it. The amount ofcigarette butts covering the ground all over the entire campus is ridiculous. Thc stairs behind Raub look like a cigarette mass dumping ground caused by people too lazy to walk a few more steps to put them in smoker's boxes or ashtrays. Why would people use trash receptacles or boxes specifically designed for cigarettes? Oh yeah I remember, because as ofright now, wc only have one planet that wc live on. If people don't start trying a little harder, then this world is beyond helpable; we can't get a baboon-Earth transplant you know. They could burn a few extra calorics and put cigarette butts in the boxes or ashtrays scattered all over campus or their garbage in the garbage cans, but no, they have to put them on thc ground. To the smoking litterbugs: How would you feci if everybody just went around relieving themselves everywhere in public? It's common courtesy not to do that. If you don't want to sec their butts (and other materials related), then you should use the same amount of public decency and not let your butt be seen cither. Smoking is another topic. It's a major annoyance for those ofus that don't want all those carcinogens in our system, that have to walk past the lines of people located in front of Raub or Robinson. Almost every morning, it's like a not fun version of holding your breath through a tunnel. Please be courteous. When you are well aware of all thc adverse affects that go along with smoking, then why do you care if you could catch a cold? Move away from the building Those smoker's boxes, while they should be effective, also bring about a problem because a pair or two of people with cigarettes block every door on campus. It feels like I'm James Bond and have to find a way out of the building without being caught by thc smokers outside protecting thc exit like a set of Nazi guards with their deadly weapons. I respect you smokers as a people and want to give you all thc same rights 1 have as a nonsmoker, but remember, our nonsmoking habits cannot harm you in anyway. Sure, you might not be able to smoke in bars or public places, but is that harming you? No. it's preventing you from having enjoyment, but it's not harming you. When you smoke the nonsmokers are walking by, getting second-hand smoke, being harmed from it, and it'sjust like if you, as a healthy person, walking by a person eating fast-food and you instantly gaining 200 pounds. The maintenance people must drive and use the brick walkways that students do. How many times have you been forced out of the way due to a green golf cartlike vehicle or construction truck? Wasn't there a better design for this? When thc small carts are on the road they are potential traffic hazards because they go so slow. The drainage system everywhere on campus has water pools in the area like tons of gallons of waterproofing was dispensed on all the walks. On the stairs behind Raub there are large pud- dies on each level. Well, this would not be such a big deal if there weren't drains right below where all the water is. There are drains on each level and water still pools, and it's not from torrential downpour so the drain doesn't have time to catch up, it's because the drains don't drain. The puddles arc so large sometimes that you have to completely avoid the sidewalk in some areas. It seems as if the people living offcampus or those of us who are commuters aren't considered when it snows a great deal or enough to make the roads dangerous. When the roads are really bad the university shouldn't only care about those who are living 5 minutes away from class. Many times during my Lock Haven career there should have been cancellations or delays. I'm not just saying that because I don't want to show up to school and make snow angels, frolic, and play all day, but because I don't want my brains splattered all over the asphalt. We're all paying tuition to come to this university, so let's take action or at least try to do something about these problems. I'm not saying, "Down with Lock Haven University; it's a horrible school," because simply it's not horrible. What I am saying, however, is that if all the students attempted to care, treated this campus and other students with some respect, and acted with a higher level of maturity, then Lock Haven would be a lot better place. onsflderafSoraS Wow. it's already the end of thc semester.

THE EAGLE EYE IS FUNDED BY THE STUDENT COOPERATIVE COUNCIL AND PRINTED BY THE LOCK HAVEN EXPRESS IN Lindsay Johnson Co-Editor in Chief Blame it on the recent arrival of The Facebook to Lock Haven, upcoming graduation or any of the other numerous events of the semester that have raised questions and taught me lessons about integrity and relationships, but I've been doing quite a bit of contemplating lately about relationships. Most ofmy contemplating has been along thc lines ofappreciating the relationships you have while you have them. I've also thought about how much they can teach us about the world wc will enter when we leave this place. Along those lines, I've learned a lot about the importance of not abusing relationships. I feel the need to share some of these thoughts so that maybe you, thc reader, will also take some time to appreciate the relationships you've builtalong the way and how they've molded you into who you are now. For me, some of my relationships that have had the deepest impact on me have been formed in an academic setting, both in high school and in college. Facebook has reunited me with some friends who played a big part in making me the person 1 was when I came to college. It's been such a unique and rewarding experience rebuilding those connections and then discovering that these people from my past can still influence who 1 am now byreminding me ofwho I was when I knew them better. With graduation rapidly approaching, I've also spent a bit of time thinking about how much my friends that are leaving have influenced the decisions I've made in college and who I've become. I wonder what college will be like after they are gone and if the lack of their constant presence will affect me as much as or more than while they were here. Then I think back over this semester and all thc lessons 1 have learned through relationships, both personal and professional. Two of these lessons were fairly big and invaluable. One was that you should not take advantage ofpersonal connections in order to fur- theryourself professionally in such a way that would damage the other person's reputation. The other was that you should appreciate when the other party in a professional relationship is willing to do something for you. and you shouldn't complain and make decisions that would prevent them from helping you out. So many relationships, so many lessons. Whether you're graduating or not. take a moment to think about all the people who have impacted your life this semester and before. If only there was some way to let them all know how much they've meant to you. (Hmmm, maybe you can). Letters to the Editor Fountain prank is getting old Dear Editor, Think ofsomething new. It's really not funny anymore and the worst part is how much creativity it lacks. I'm justkind oftired ofseeing thc fountain filled with soap. You have to realize that it wasn't even all that funny in the first place. The funny thing was that someone was actually bored enough to think ofit. It justgoes to show that Lock Haven doesn't really have that much for us to do to keep our minds offmischief. I'm not saying whoever is doing it is a terribleperson. I'm simply saying whoever has been doing it needs to take some time to think about something more creative. Once the soapy fountain thing lost its creativity it lost its humor. At first 1 could walk past the fountain and chuckle about that fact that 1 couldactually wash my clothes in it instead ofspending $ 10 a week at the laundromat. Now I just walk by and think about how stupid it looks. Maybe I've just been here too long but I've realized something in the past few years. Lock Haven University doesn't really have a lot ofnice things for the students to enjoy. In fact, aside from the bell towers which probably annoy everyone on campus, and our little fountain on Ivy Lane. I can't really think of anything. So why must we min the little we do have? I used to beable to just sit on a bench near the fountain and be mesmerized. Now I walk past everyday and I just get angry because I realize that people are really that dumb. Really, how difficult could it have been to put some soap in the fountain? A good portion of the day nobody is walking around campus because everyone is in class and at night campus becomes emptier than my wallet. Whoever has been doing it must really be a rebel. I commend whoever did it the first time. It put a smile on a lot ofpeople's faces, including my own. It was funny, not to mention creative. It's about time to move on though. It's really not funny anymore. It's gotten old, think of something different.

See A3 2004-2005 Year In Review Lock Haven, Keith Miller instituted as 13th LHU President Opening arguments Courtesy ofLHU Public Relations Dr. Keith T. Miller was instated as Lock Haven University's 13th president on March 18, 2005. Matthew McKeague 1 staff, delegates representing col\eges an( universities from Staff Reporter * across the country, current inter- Lock Haven University inaugurated Dr. Keith Terrencc Miller as its 13th president on March 18 at 1 p.m. in Price Performance Center. Judy G. Hamplc, chancellor of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, officially installed Dr. Miller in front of an audience consisting of more than 200 faculty and national students representing the university's international partner institutions, students representing clubs and organizations on campus, former Dean Craig Willis, and Dr. Miller's friends and family. Dr. Miller delivered his inaugural address. "Surrounded by My Future." that dealt with his visions for thc future, and how to make the university even more successful. "Having a vision is an important part of institutional growth, he said, my job is to help make your dreams possible." Dr. Miller's vision for LHU includes enhancing thc use of technology, turning academic excellence into a characteristic that is always with the university, and diversifying how thc educational experience is delivered. He feels that his vision holds the key to thc future ofLHU and that we will be successful with it if we work together and keep future dreams just like such innovators as Walt Disney. Miller said that Disney was successful because he always had visions, pointing out that on his deathbed he had plans for Disney World that would not be open to the public for 6 years. "I am surrounded by smart people,'' he said, and that he could not be more pleased of this great opportunity to be surrounded by a people and a future like that of Lock Haven. There are enough good people in this community and LHU that contribute to the university and make it a better place, he said. Miller said, "Part of my job is to get rid of the unnecessary barriers between faculty and staff." and that he will listen to the faculty, staff, and students of the University. "Life is not about what you accomplish, it's about what you learn," he said. He added that listening is very important to his job and learning, and he will accomplish such goals as getting rid of that barrier by listening and being a student-friendly president that is not only popular, but knowledgeable as well. He wants our university to provide an education that improves thc listening skills of students and faculty so they can listen to and teach each other more that will release more talent and skill from everybody. "Listening to each other will certainly be a permanent fixture at LHU." he said. "I'm having great fun at the Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania." said Miller, and that combining pleasure with business is the way to be a verysuccessful and happy person. Mayor Rick Vilcllo said he personally met with each potential dean candidate when thc selection process started many months ago. "I believe the best candidate was selected... the best man won." Miller said. "I will always have a vision for LHU and thc Lock Haven community... let's consistently work together to attain this vision." LHU Council of Trustees approves Bentley expansion heard in Smart trial when the four suspects lifted Marissa Brunner Staff Editor him into the trunk of Smart's car. On Wednesday, Sept. 29, opening arguments in the murder trial ofa former Lock Haven University student began. Kabian Smart, who is represented by defense attorney Ronald C. Travis, is accused of kidnapping, conspiracy, and first-degree murder in the Jan. 23, 1999 death of Jason McMann. Three other former Lock Haven University students Jermaine Ballard. 29, of Waterford, York; Quincy A. Teel, 25, of Coatsville and Willie Williams Jr., 26, of Philadelphia were arrested and are being charged in the murder. Teel and Ballard both testified last Thursday. On the night of Jan. 22. 1999 and early morning of Jan. 23, became allegedly Smart involved in a confrontation with McMann over a $6,000 drug deal gone wrong. Prosecutor Joseph McGettigan explained the events, saying that Smart plotted to kill the 21-year-old McMann that night, then asked for help from his friends. According to the testimonies given by Teel and Ballard, the fight between Smart and McMann began at the "Football House". The fight was eventually broken up, but Smart proceeded to chase McMann. Teel and Ballard said they ended up in a courtyard at Probst Plaza with Smart and the fourth suspect, Williams. The two men testified that McMann was lying in a pool of blood - - Both Teel and Ballard swore they were not involved in the fight with McMann, nor did they know for sure what happened to McMann after Smart drove off with him in the trunk. McMann's body was found on April 8, 1999 in a wooded area near Lily Pond Road and Winter Road in Logan Township. But the defense team has a different theory as to what happened on the night of Jan. 22. Travis stated in opening remarks that there arc several witnesses that saw McMann alive after Jan. 23, such as at Wendy's Restaurant in Lock Haven, walking across the railroad tracks in thc city, and in a vehicle. One witness, Christine Hostrander, claims she saw McMann in the Old Corner Bottle Shop on Feb. 2, 1999. Hostrander, who formerly dated McMann. said they were arguing over how many beers he could carry, and he also had a new haircut. Hostrander notified police when she saw posters saying that he had been missing since Jan. 23. Another woman, Nicole Killinger. who was not required to take the stand on Thursday, notified police after hearing through her boyfriend thai Smart admitted to the murder. Killinger's boyfriend, Jamie Allen, told her that Smart told him he killed McMann. Allen was Smart's roomate at the time. The trial is expected to last the remainder ofthe month.

Clearfield County, unanimously approved and accepted by council, will be used for future construction of an academic building. Lock Haven University's mission statement outlines the values of the university. Some of these values arc: excellent teaching that effects deep learning, knowledge and its production, a culture of learning that is both caring and challenging, supportive and rigorous and, truth expressed with civility. Unfortunately there are individuals in the university community that do not take thc mission statement to heart. Fahrenheit 9/11 was shown in the Hall of Flags this past Monday night. It was being shown to Dr. Kathleen McQuaid's Media and Politics class, but was open to the university community. USA Todayhas called the documentary that was produced, written, and directed by Michael Moore "controversial." "A university is a place where controversial material should be shown." said political science professor, Dr. Jeffery Burnham. According to Burnham. some individuals asked that the film not be shown. When this was not an option, they asked that the film be shown after Election Day. Thc request was not granted. "Come see the movie, make up your own mind, and then decide." Burnham said. After the documentary, tension was high, and a heated discussion followed. The debate got off track at times, and was very intense, even to thc point where people left early. But the debate gave students and faculty the opportunity to express their feelings, and opinions on the film. Kirsten Eckley, a member of thc College Republicans urges, "On November 2nd vote for the candidate that best suits you as an individual. Do not vote on account of what parents or grandparents have to say. what Michael Moore has to say, or what the College Republicans and Young Democrats have to say. The issues that are important to each individual vary. See both films, make an educated choice, and VOTE." More the 24 hours worth ofrain from hurrican Ivan d vastates Lock Haven Area Marissa Brunner Alex Hayes Eagle Eye As the rain continued to fall for over 24 hours, many people in Clinton County began to wonder if it would ever stop. Beginning Friday morning, remnants of hurricane Ivan pounded the city ofLock Haven and surrounding areas, dumping over six inches ofrain. The ram quickly overloaded the Susquehanna River and its tributaries, causing major flooding in the area. This literally turned things upside down for residents ofClinton County. "We had to cancel the highway clean-up this weekend due to the flooding in Mill Hall," said Jenny Charney, president of thc Panhellenic Council. With the exception ofthe tennis courts by the river, thc Lock Haven University campus was immune to the flooding. However, this did not mean that students were not directly affected. Closed roads and a mandatory eleven o'clock curfew left many students bored out of their minds on Saturday night. "It was horrible; I couldn't go out Saturday night, and the flooding caused an awful stench." commented sophomore Chad Boyer. "Nobody knew about the curfew until the last minute, so it ruined a lot ofplans," said sophomore Katie Gilger. As if the flooding did not causc enough problems, a fire at the Sovereign Bank on Bellefonte Avenue caused a power outage in some areas of Lock Haven. Reportedly, two employees were locked in the bank when they realized the wall was on fire. "The power was on and oft' all weekend." said sophomore Jessica Thompson. "Even though this could not be helped. it was still a huge inconvenience for those of us who nceded to get work done." Luckily for students, some professors were understanding ofthe situation, and extended deadlines for assignments, Numerous organizations in thc area are seeking volunteers to help bring relief to those affected by thc flood.

"I look forward to working with these three in what I hope will be a smooth transition," said Rick Harvey, current president. "We look forward to working with the entire student body." said Hackney. The trio would also like to thank current Speaker of thc Senate Jason Fitzgerald for all the dedication and guidance that he gave to their campaign. Most students would run scared if they heard the ticket-happy Lock Haven University Law Enforcement had guns available to them. Those students should probably stop reading this. The fact is they already have guns and they've recently asked Lock Haven University President. Dr. Keith T. Miller, for permission to carry them while on duty. Miller turned them down as of now, but plans to do further research before officially closing thc book on thc issue. "At the present time I would like to stay with the status quo." he said. "However, I am interested in finding out what other universities are doing on this issue." Other universities are arming themselves, according to Vice President of Student Affairs Linda Koch. Of the 14 state universities, only Indiana, California, Clarion and LHU don't permit their law enforcement officers to carry weapons. LHU's current policy docs not permit law enforcement to carry weapons. However, they do have weapons locked in a safe and "If the situation warrants it," Koch said, "the director can let them (use thc guns)." The big question is whether arming university police would make this campus a safer place. "I feel that we have a rather safe campus," SCC President Rick Harvey explained, "but there are many things that we must continue to investigate to ensure the safety of our student community." While some students may have mixed feelings about the idea, the sheer thought makes some others a bit edgy. "I'd be more scared if they did get guns," said Nate Meals, a senior business administration major. "What are they trying to do, shoot college students?" That's far from the case though, according to Director of Lock Haven University Law Enforcement Dick Hepner. "It's a very sensitive issue on campus," he said. "You don't have major crimes every day, but you never know what could happen." Having guns is as much of a liability as not having guns. Hepner explained. On one side, students or even the officers themselves could potentially get hurt because they do have guns. On the other side, someone could be hurt just as easily because law enforcement doesn't have thc proper tools to handle certain situations. "I just don't want to see anyone get hurt on this campus, including my officers, because they weren't prepared," he said. Another big question is whether the officers are even qualified to use the weapons properly. People get this false impression that the university police are merely security guards because they don't carry guns, according to Hepner, but in reality they've gone through the same training as any other police officer. In fact, the officers take firearm qualification tests twice each year. "No officer in his or herright mind is going to use a weapon to persuade someone," Hepner said. "1 would be the first in line to fire them if they did." The weapons would only be used as a last resort in extreme situations, he explained. Since 1973, Hepner admitted, "I can't remember any situation that an officer would have pulled a weapon, but I do remember situations that an officer could have done his job better if he had a gun." He continued on to admit that the situations when the LHU Law Enforcement has needed to get their guns out were not even campus related, but occurred while assisting other police agencies. The biggest reason the campus police want to carry guns, he said, is the unknown the fact that you never know who will come on campus. A gun is a tool, he added, that needs to be carried by an officer for his own protection and the protection of others. "I would like to see our officers carry weapons," Hepner said. - East Campus expands campus RD teaches unexpected lesson A\ex Hayes Staff Editor For the past week something has been missing from Woolridge Hall. A familiar, friendly face has not been seen patrolling thc halls, making sure that things are running smoothly and addressing the many needs ofthe students. That is the face of Resident Director Russ Jameson. Jameson has not been residing in Woolridge because he has unfortunately been forced to take temporary residence at Geisinger Medical Hospital in Danville, Pa. Jameson has been battling a rare form of leukemia, and he hopes that he can be a living example to students ofthe importance of donating blood and bone marrow. Jameson made a trip to the hospital on February 15 to get treated for what he believed was the flu. He was dieting, so he did not think much ofthe weight he lost recently, but was concerned about the massive amount of sweating he was doing while he slept. Thc doctors told him to return two days later for a blood test. It was not long after that he learned he had a form of leukemia that is so rare that the hospital would send his slides into the National Institute ofHealth. In honor ofJameson, Wendy Walsh. Director of Campus Village, has organized a blood drive and a bone marrow donor sign up in hopes that students will get out and help such a worthy cause. Jameson has donated much lime in the past to the Red Cross, but now that he sees things from the receiving end he understands the importance of donating much clearer than ever. In fact, there is one big regret that Jameson holds. "Even though I donated a lot of my time to the blood drives, 1 never actually donated my blood. I have always had a big fear ofneedles." Jameson confesses. "Now that 1 am the one receiving blood and bone marrow, 1 regret that I let that fear of one little prick of a needle prevent me from doing something so important." Walsh, who has donated for many years, said that she certainly will be thinking of Jameson when she goes to donate at the upcoming drive on April 21 in the PUB. "Russ and I are the same blood type, so we like to think that the pint that I will be donating will actually be going to him." said Walsh. This Monday, April II, there will be also an educational program about becoming a bone marrow donor so that students can help people like Jameson, who need bone marrow so badly. The program will be held Monday from 6:30 p.m. 7:30 p.m. in the Hall of Flags. Following will be a meeting for students who would like to help spread the word about the importance of donating, by becoming presenters. - Students will then have the opportunity to sign up to become a bone marrow donor - on April 26 from 11 p.m. 4 p.m. in the multipurpose room ofthe PUB. Jameson says that it is especially important for college age students to donate bone marrow. "College age students are the best to give because of the fact that their immune systems are less sophisticated to deal with disease than that of an older person." Jameson stresses. Jameson would like Woolridge Hall residents and all university students to know that he is constantly thinking about them. He is not aware when he will be able to return to work, but no matter how soon it is it will not be fast enough for him. "My passion ofmissing the students is great. It has really been hard for me to not be with them everyday. I love my life and my job and am very blessed for both. I would rather be anywhere but here, but Woolridge Hall is where I would like to be most." said Jameson. He also wants students to not be afraid ofcancer. He admits it is a horrific thing to go threw, but it has also been a blessing in disguise for Jameson. "Cancer is not a death sentence. It totally changes your perspective on life. For me it has increased my spirituality as well as many other things." Jonny Sywulak Eagle Eye The addition of east campus will expand LHU students learning environment.

I'm glad to see the money has been released." said Proctor. "1 look forward to seeing it in use again. It's been a long time in the making." Getgen is also pleased to see the construction taking place. "With this renovation the students will not lose a gym, weight room, indoor running track, classroom and a space for special events in the center of campus." said Getgen. The building was constructed in 1896 and later named after James H. Rogers, a Lock Haven University alumnus of 1949 and a World War II veteran who died soon after earning his degree.

Kevin Carver Sports Kditor President Keith Miller introduced John Klacik as the university's new football coach at a press conference on Tuesday, March 15. His optimism quickly spread to everyone in attendance. Klacik. thc former stand-out Bald Eagle receiver, has already assumed duties and has been running lifting sessions and practices since early March. He brings a much needed winning attitude with him. "First 1 need to form relationships with our players. They've been through some tough times, and have been told by many people that they can't win, that it's impossible for Lock Haven to win. My job as a coach is to make them believe that anything is possible if you work hard enough." Klacik has already made the commitment to bring in the right people on the field and on his staff. "I'm not just interested in LHU alumna faces adversity in her life mmmw recruiting guys who are the best football players.

After a brief stay as quarterback coach at Wake Forest. Klacik returned to YSU again as Offensive Coordinator until accepting his first head coaching position this month. While at Youngstown State, the Penguins developed into a D-l AA power, winning three national titles. Klacik outlined a plan to "turn around" the Bald Eagle football program. "This is going to be a total effort," he said. "We're going to need a commitment from the surrounding community, the University community, and Brora mv staff and players. So when Lock Haven University football turns around. I want everyone to feel like they have a little piece of it." Klacik plans to mend a broken team; one that has finished 1-5 in conference play for the past five years. His hire comes after a month long search to replace Mark Luther at the need a quarterback, don't go out and gel the best quarterback. Get the best person and teach him to be the best quarterback."' "I was told by Coach Tressel that when forming a staff, one needs to. be patient. The good coaches will always rise to the top over time. We'll put together a good staff. I can promise you that it will be the best staffthat Lock Haven has ever had." Though the season doesn't start until August 27, you would never know it by talking to the new boss. A spring schedule has been released, with such highlights as the April 24 Spring Game and three scrimmages. However, Klacik brought a little something with him from YSU. The "Hoot 'n' Holler" Drill this Sunday at 3:00 p.m. will mark the first day ofcontact for the players. "This drill will really get the player's blood going," said Klacik. "It's a lot of fun for everyone, including spectators." If you are interested in seeing what the new coach has in store for the Bald Eagles, come up to Hubert Jack Stadium for any drill or scrimmage.

Kevin Carver Snorts Editor Just a few days ago, Sara McMann was on top of thc world. Unfortunately for the Lock Haven Alumnus, things yet again have come crashing back to earth. Last month. McMann put aside the approaching trial ofher brother's accused killer, as she competed in the first ever Women's Wrestling Olympic Events. 16 days ago. she won the silver medal in Athens, Greece, dropping a 3-2 decision - m tne g°ld medal match to rival Kaori ,cno of ■' aPan Tnen J ust ten days later, it seems her world has found turmoil again. Friday, McMann and her boyfriend, three-time NCAA Ail-American wrestler at State, Steven Arizona Blackford, 28, were moving from Colorado to Washington D.C. They were supposed to start their lives together. He was to attend the Columbus Law School at the Catholic University ofAmerica. McMann lost control of the car and both were ejected. Neither wearing a seat belt, - Blackford was killed while McMann faces charges in connection with the tragic mishap, McMann escaped the crash with minor physical injuries, but more all-too-familiar emotional scars resurfaced. In 1999, her brother, then Lock Haven student Jason University McMann disappeared and would never be seen alive again, Former Lock Haven University football player Fabian Smart will stand trial later this month for his murder. While competing in Greece, McMann was surrounded by those who loved her; her par- ents, her sister, and Blackford. However, her brother was not far from her thoughts; in fact, he served as her inspiration. "My brother was on my mind all the time," McMann said, "but 1 wanted to be the type of woman he would be proud of in every area ofmy life." In what should be a time of celebration. McMann's roller coaster life is descending once again. But she has overcome adversity before. Hopefully this time she can turn this tragedy into gold. Wolverine pride shines through on the Lock Haven Football Team Doug Spatafore Sports Reporter The lights go out, as the Woodland High School football players gather in thc tunnel before they take the field. As they hear the roaring yells from the thousands of I'ans, each player slaps a small sign above the tunnel doorway which reads "To achieve you must endure." That is Woodland Hills Wolverine pride, and there is plenty of il on the Bald Eagles football team which includes four Woodland Hill graduates. The Wolverines are a perennial high school football powerhouse in Western Pennsylvania. They have captured the Western Interscholastic centers on Wolverine Pride.

Turtle Creek Stadium, which is nicknamed the Wolvarena, is known as one of the best high school football stadiums in the country. "It gets real noisy in there and teams don't like to come play there," said Smith. The tradition at Woodland Hills is tough to match anywhere else, but how does that translate to Lock Haven. Charles, Mike, Rafael, and Maurice all knew each other and played together in high school. All four ofthem played on the 1999 squad that went 13-1 and won the WPIAL Charles, Championship. Maurice, and Rafael have been best friends for years. They all played sports together for years. Even though Mike is younger than the others, he was always around. He and Maurice are cousins and all four of them played football prior to high school at some point. "We all live around each other and we have been best friends," said Cannon. "We've done everything together from basketball leagues to going out and having fun." Cannon says these guys are his closest friends and he would rather play with them over anyone else. "I feel like these guys are my brothers and if they were not here, I would not be here," said Smith. Smith, who transferred here after a short stint at Kent State, says he feels much more comfortable with them around. He says he thinks their relationship brings the whole team together. "When the team gets closer and closer, it makes us better on the field," said Smith. "Playing with these guys is so much fun and you can't play football if it's not fun." These are not the only Woodland Hills players to continue their football careers at Lock Haven. Last year MLrcus Burkley and Rob Carey among others graduated after respectful careers here. Carey recently signed with the Georgia Force of the Arena Football League.

Dear Editor, Last week I wrote a letter to the Eagle Eye describing how the Admission's Office was lying to transfer students to help fill Evergreen Commons. Now I find out from several admissions tour guides for the 2004-2005 academic year say that they were specifically trained to respond to questions about Evergreen Commons by saying it was university owned, but privately managed! Is this another mistake? 1 also looked on the new university map and saw listed under university residence halls none other than -you guessed it Evergreen Commons! What? One more mistake? How many more "mistakes" is it going to take until someone sees a willful pattern ofcrass manipulation of the truth? Where I come from its three strikes and you're out and we call these "mistakes" what they really arc-out-and-out lies. And isn't it strange how all ofthese mistakes are emanating from thc Vice President for Advancement's Office who is also conveniently thc Executive Director for the LHU Foundation which owns Evergreen Commons. Please, Dr. Miller don't tell me that you and everyone else can't see a huge conflict of interest here that is making a mockery of the integrity of our university, it's Admission's Office, and some of its public information. Thc emperor has no clothes. Dr. Miller, how long are you going to sit backand allow these untruths to continue without correcting them? There is ample evidence to see that Evergreen Commons and the Executive Director for the Foundation is thc tail that is blatantly and unethically wagging the dog and it needs to stop. I actually polled three foundation board members and incredibly enough they too thought that Evergreen Commons was university owned. I wonder how they got that impression? Please tell the truth. Evergreen Commons is owned by the LHU Foundation and is not university property! Well, at least until the next admissions tour, or university map is printed, or until the Office of Advancement decides no one will actually care that what it prints and says doesn't have to be ethical and the truth. Faculty, students, staff if you value the truth please call Dr. Miller now and make this lying stop. And Dr. Miller, as president 1 challenge you to do thc right thing and take the Admissions Office from under the supervision of the Vice President for Advancement and put it under the Provost or any other division where thc truth cannot be the victim of a conflict ofinterest. And by the way you have every right and in my opinion a moral obligation as president to do justthat. The truth is not negotiable. So here are four questions to which I think the students and staff of this university deserve a truthful answer. Who wrote the untruthful transfer letter sent by the Admissions Office? Who approved the untruthful letter to be sent out? How long has the untruthful letter been sent out? Will you move the Admissions Office out from under the influence of the Vice President for Advancement and remove his influence and conflict ofinterest? I look forward to your response to these questions and this letter. Max McGee Resident Director to the Editor Student dissatisfied with this years spring concert Dear Editor. As many ofyou know, we just had our spring concert and once again, in my opinion, it was substandard. Before everyone get their knickers all to in a bunch, let me first say that I am not knocking on the HAC chair and concert committee who works hard to bring some type of entertainment The Haven. My gripe is with the powers that be. if you think that you are a "power that be" then most likely you are and this one's for you. After some investigating last week this is what I found. There are 4248 full time smdents on the Lock Haven University Main Campus, and 306 full time at Clearfield Campus. The Main Campus students pay S146 per semester in SCC student activities/concert fees (that's S292 for the year) and the Clearfield full timet* pay $69 per semester ($ 138 for the year). Multiply the number offull timers by the amount that each respective campus student has to pay and you come up with a nice hefty number. $1,282,644 to be exact, and if you throw in thc part timers. I am sure they add a little more to the pot. Now out ofthat million plus dollars some people would have you believe that the best that wc could get was Vanessa Carlton (I had her debut CD until I traded it in to get GnR Appetite for Destruction), and Sugarcult. Despite the large number of students at LHU that like hip hop music, we still can not get an adequate show. Students are forced to spend their money at other schools like Bloomsburg, Mansfield and Shippensburg to get bang for their buck. Students go to wAvw.conccrtideas.com and see how much wc possibly paid for Saturdaysacts (We don'treally know because thc powers won't tell and give a solid amount) and who else we could have possibly have gotten. I find it hard to believe that out ofmore than 500 acts, that was the best that wecould do. I thnk I want my money back. Del Sellers Junior, Political Science Faculty member urges the student body to take a stand against outsourcing Dear Editor I am writing this letter in response to the April 20, 2005 article. "Staff Member Questions Integrity of University," by Max McGee. As the local President ofSCUPA (State College & University Professional Association) I understand the level offrustration Max McGee expresses in his article. But. I would like to take our union issue a step further in a little different direction. Since the hiring our State System Chancellor, Judy Hamplc, the biggest threat made to many ofthe unions w as regarding "outsourcing" or as many would say. "union busting!" I have personally sat in a meeting with a member of Hample's team, where it was stated, there is no guarantee that SCUPA will be in existence within the next few years. As oftoday, SCUPA has been working without a contract for over eight months. SCUPA and Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) have met ten (10) times since this past January, with no resolution settling our contract. It is my understanding, our State System of Higher Education want to include a clause in SCUPA's contract, which will allow them to outsource our jobs if they feel there is a financial need. SCUPA strongly opposes PASSHE's attempts and refuses to sign a contract with such a clause. Money, money, money! Save money! Make money! Raise Money! Anyone and everyone who work for PASSHE may hear this on a daily basis. I have heard Hample put forth many ways to achieve her goals, but I have not heard her once say, "my team will give back to help make ends meet." As a true leader committed to higher education, start trimming the fat from thc top ofthc pig and then work your way down. Where is the model lead by example? Eliminating unions will only take us back fifty years in time, where the rich will definitely get richer and the poor will undoubtedly get poorer. Where is thc integrity? I challenge Lock Haven University education majors, all students whose parents are in unions, parents against outsourcing, and university workers to take a stand and email Dr. Keith Miller and Dr. Judy Hample (jhample@pa and share your concerns and opposition lo outsourcing. Kevin Stone Council Advisor Student Life Don't be a sore loser Dear Editor, There have been many times that I have wanted to sit down and write a response to letters I have read in the Eagle Eye but I have nevet been so provoked to do so, until now. I had a long break between classes and was glancing over the stories in the paper when I read Del's letter. With all do respect Del. get overyourself. You know as well as 1 do that there were no instances of bribery or intimidation. Thc real truth is you quit a paid position at the university to run for SCC president and you failed to secure the votes. I am sure that you ran a good clean campaign, but you can not scold students for picking another candidate. Also Del, those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones. 1 am not currently, or I have ever been a member of thc SCC but people around campus talk and some ofyour own past tactics arc debatable. You had time prior to the election to question other candidate's on what their plans for the university were; doing so now for a lack ofbetter words makes you look like a sore loser. You did not lose because ol any secret deals or buttons worn by poll workers; you lost because the winning ticket ran a great campaign. Any political strategist will tell you that PR is half thc battle. People have to know who you arc. ifthey are going to vote for you. I interned last summer in Tennessee for a campaign consultant and I spent days just going around thc streets ol Memphis knocking on doors and making calls on behalf ofthe candidates. At times I thought it was a waste ofmy timebut 1 quickly learned that PR will make or break you. You couldn't go anywhere without seeing Hackney, Wise, and Torres. It was an extremely effective tactic. 1 congratulate Hackney. Wise, and Torres for a well thought out and well executed campaign plan. Ifyou believed that walking around campus with a bullhorn was the right idea. 1 am sorry to say, it was not. Also remember that less is more. Your campaign literature was well researched and filled with positive ideas but there was too much there. I am willing to bet that less twenty-five students actually read thc entiic card. If you had just highlighted a few key points, it may have been more effective. I have a lot ofrespect for you as a person Del. but your letter and the accusations made were simply outrageous. Your letter demonstrates to me that you lack the qualities of good candidate; a good candidate is defeated w ith dignity. Lastly I am willing to openly saythat I personally did not vote for thc winners but 1 am now glad that 1 did not vote for you either. Matthew Joyce Senior, Political Science . Don't allow the PASSHE to mess with our university Dear Editor, This is an open letter to the Lock Haven University community which should serve two purposes. This letter should serve as a sincere thank you for all ofthe Lock Haven University community for the love and support I have received during my recent struggle with my cancer. This letter is also meant to inform and educate all ofthe members ofthe university community about my opinion about the most recent demands ofthe PASSHE that the union to which 1 belong (SCUPA) place in a new contract, a clause that in effect states PASSHE would have the right to outsource any jobs in SCUPA. 1 must tell you all upfront that I struggled with whether or not I should speak my mind on the second issue listed above, but I realized the LHU community and family to which I belong deserve to hear my opinion on the issue. First things first, I would like to talk to you about my disease and my struggles with thc disease. Cancer all too often is looked at by others as a death sentence. Trust mc when I tell you, the word cancer itself, at first for the person whom has it, is very shocking to the human mind, spirit and body. 1 have to tell you the truth though shocking, I have never had my eyes opened so much as I have the past several months. I havea hat that reads, "Cancer Sucks", my wife got us a matching set and we wear them to doctor's appointments etc. A dear friend and faculty member pointed out to me that the hat might more appropriately read, "Cancer Teaches". While I am sure books have been written concerning the subject ofhow cancer can teach us all, I wanted to share a few points with you about my experience. Most important to me is that cancer has taught me how crucial it is to have a personal relationship with a higher power, for me that power is God (Jesus). 1 must however stress to you that this is my personal experience and for those of you in our university family whom gain strength from some other source, well as they say in some circles, more power to you. As for mc, when God tapped me on the shoulder in February and awakened me to his wonderful saving grace and promise of a life after this life, he showed me what is really important in diis life. To put this all in perspective let me explain it as one cancer survivor explained it to mc. "The great thing is God gives us a win-win situation, if we survive the cancer we get to stay here on this earth and worship his name and share our story with others who struggle, but if we die from the cancer we get to go to Heaven and be with God." I truly could not have stated it better myself. The point I am trying to make with you is surrender to God and ask him for his peace, no matter your situationand he promises you in his word he will give you peace. It has definitely worked for me. Another point I need to share with you is, live every day as if it is your last. I have learned we all are going to have to face death, it is the human condition, so enjoy life for every little thing from the sunshine to the air you breathe. I also believe my cancer has reinforced something 1 have always known to be true and that is you get out of life what you put into life. Listen, 1 have always been the loving canng Russ Jameson, so many of you have grown to know and love and because I am this person so many ofyou have given back to me in my time of need; exactly that which I have given you over the years. I am only guessing, but I would say I have received thus far about twenty times that which 1 have given and the love and support is growing daily. Finally on the subject ofmy cancer and the university community to which I belong, I thank you all for the love, support, prayers and words of encouragement. It is you all whom have taught me so much; keep praying. Now, as for our university family and SCUPA., many ofyou may have heard me say at the beginning ofthis editorial thc Union (SCUPA) represents theresident directors, admission counselors, financial aid workers and personnel in a few other key offices on ourcampus. This is a straggle with the PASSHE over a clause which PASSHE insist SCUPA put in a new contract that states SCUPA would allow the state to outsource bargaining unit work whenever it feels. Please understand just like the faculty union and maintenance union before SCUPA. whom have settled contracts with the state. SCUPA is willing to do what it can to cut cost and safe money for PASSHE. In fact many ofyou may not be aware that SCUPA changed its health care plan from the PASSHE plan to a different plan and it is estimated the change saved thc state over one million dollars. I have watched over the years as our administration and the PASSHE office have told the unionized faculty and staff at LHU that we need to do more with less and pay freezes would need to be put in place to help the system. All the while the system at the state and local university level keep creating new and expensive management positions. Often times it is a promotion of a current position that takes place as well. I must tell you I am not management and 1 do not manage, so maybe some promotions and new positions are needed, but honestly from what I see, it seems like lately it has been in excess. Especially in this time when thc rest ofthc university is being told to suck it up and deal with the new financial situation. I say that is bull and 1 know I am not the only one who feels this way. I do not want to sound like Chicken Little and tell the rest ofthe unionized employees at LHU the sky is falling, but stop and think about it for a second. If SCUPA allows the PASSHE to put the clause in our new contract to outsource SCUPA jobs, then what is to stop the system from outsourcing maintenance workers, custodians, police officers, secretaries, clerks, accountants and yes, even professors. Remember your contract with the PASSHE will expire one day and what if SCUPA is just the rip ofthe iceberg when it comes to outsourcing in our state system? The truth be known, I really believe we need more teaching faculty members at LHU. So please write Dr. Judy Hample. Chancellor of the PASSHE and Dr. Keith Miller President ofLock Haven University ofPennsylvania and stress to them how important it is that the State University System in Pennsylvania not cut off its nose to spite its face, especially when the unionized workers in the system are at times thc glue which keeps our university together. If you are a student whom I have helped or impacted with my job write and tell Dr. Hample and Dr. Miller about thc relationship 1 have with you and how important I am to you. The truth is, I love the Lock Haven University community to which I belong and would never want to harm it in any way, just the same I am very well compensated for what I do at the university, but so too are the rest ofthe university employees compensated well for what they do. I am willing to work for less and help in the fight against the cost ofrising tuition, but I believe all ofthc PASSHE employees from the Chancellor down should help by taking less as well. Otherwise, those in power continue to take care of themselves while they tell the rest ofus to sacrifice. To me, that is not fair.

Integrity. Stamina. Perspiration. All these factors go into a sport that we are trained to play in our elementary years, but blossom as we grow and begin to harness the powers that will dominate a dodge ball game. As they come into their final days as a team, Duck or Bleed are rounding out their intramural season on a very high note. With 13 wins and only 1 lose, they have become the favorites on the dodgeball court. The team, composed of 11 people, is as lively as they come and keep the games fast paced and intense. "Our moto is play hard or go home," said Dusty Barnard, Duck or Bleed's team captain. "This is the best damn dodge ball team that I've ever played with." Duck or Bleed have faced their fair share of worthy opponents. With a game consisting of five rounds, it can come down to the wire when determining who the inevitable winner will be. Duck and Bleed know just when and how to win their battles.

Looming in the distance this Thursday, April 28, is the final championship game at the Rec Center. Duck or Bleed's opponent are the Dirty Dozen, who hold the prestigious title of undefeated. Composed of 12 players, the team wreaks havoc on the dodge ball court, striking fear in the eyes of their competitors. Opposing teams have put up admirable fights against the Dirty Dozen, but have inevitably felt the wrath of the strong willed team. A truly neck straining sport to watch, dodge ball has kept the attention of campus students. Seen sprawled out around the court, onlookers scream and heckle, while players launch balls and contort their bodies to escape a hit. Fans even feel, first-hand, the extreme rush of the game as some balls manage to find their way outside of the court, gunning towards anyone in their path.

B3 April 27, 2005 r MANN & SHAFT A lot of things need to go through for a brotha like me to finally graduate, and the time has finally come. I thought that I would not make my last article a sad goodbye, but why not. I have had a lot of help in my college years from friends, family and Lock Haven University staff. I have been given this great opportunity in life and that is to attend college. Anybody whoknows me knows that I HATE SCHOOL! But I am honored and glad that 1 have had the chance to go to college. I am the first person in my whole entire family to graduate. I know that is something worth being proud of. But I have to give credit where it is due. I know that every campus does not have staff that wants to see people succeed like Lock Haven. Albert Jones and Pat Guerriero are this University's rock in my opinion. Those two men care about a student like their own children. They both have helped me a tremendous amount and I owe them for that. Thank you guys because if it were not for you I would have at least one more semester. Dr. Hossain is also a person that helped me on my journey through college and I want to thank him also. I would also like to thank Coach Sprague for getting me to choose this institution and helping me through all of my family problems since I have been here. I really appreciate the things you have done for me. Football was very tough for me, and I know now that it will be better for the young bucks that will follow, so good luck. Now. to the people who have made mc change. I would like to thank Maurice Walker and Rafael Smith. They are my two best friends and if it were not for them 1 would have left a long time ago. Blood is thicker than water and that is why we are so tight. Graduating college is justanother step in life that we all have to take but the bonds and friends you have are worth all the good and bad memories. To the crew Kel, Stix, Al, Sapp, Shel, Eight, M-Dot, M-Burk, Braveheart Go-Go, Bang-um, Tiff and Nutt . All of you have made this a great experience for me and I love all of yalKno H). Shout out to my football family Lump, Dan, Nalwak, Dev the Dude and others. I just wanted to take this time not to write about sports but about what makes Lock Haven special for me. Special thanks to Kevin Carver for allowing me to write this column and Dr. Campbell for helping me get my classes situated for graduation and Peter Campbell for giving me the chance to commentate on the net. I really want to say goodbye to all that I have come in contact with over my years here. And for the last time... AND I'M OUT LIKE THE TRASH ON A THURSDAY...HOLLA AT ME This being the very last Shaff editorial ever, I would just like to thank all thc readers forgiving me a few minutes of their day to hear my thoughts and gripes about the wide world of sports. In turn, I encourage all of you to have your own opinions about sports. The point of this final editorial is to sell all , , of you the fact that sports is an important part of life. isn't it is someeverything, but definitely To justify myself, I will say sports fact that the as a beyond industry far the whole rakes in thing. My idea goes billions of dollars a year. My thoughts are on the personal level of sports. I know not everyone played on an organized team, but somewhere someone was involved with a little physical activity and competition. Yes, even attempting to play volleyball with your family in the backyard. No matter which way you participated, you know it was building your character, either for yourself or for others. You do not necessarily have to be an MVP either. It goes beyond the actual game. A lot of it is about communication. Have you ever heard of a quiet game? Think about all the relationships that grow from even simply spending time together. Now let's talk about spectatorship. I'm sure many of you can remember a wonderful time you had going to a ball game. Football, baseball, basketball, whatever: wasn't that the talk for the rest of the day? Granted there wasn't too much celebration. Darn specials. Now this is entertainment, especially when it's nice outside. And it's a great time to hoot and holler with a pal. I couldn't even begin to count how many games I've been to with this scenario. I know it was every time, though. So, I leave you all with this: I know there are a lot of 'issues' out there about sports. How it shouldn't take over a life, or the morality behind it, especially more recently. However, this is one of thc areas of life that will always be able to create or strengthen the relationship between people. That will not go away. The aspects go far beyond a bunch of sweaty people trying to beat each other. Recognize the psychology behind sports and take advantage of it. It can make your life all that better. Signing off... Tom Skrivanek contributes to five team Field Hockey announces titles while living with a heart condition 2005 season schedule Courtesy of LHU Sports ing soccer and continued to play throughout his adolescent years. Information AUGUST Because of his pacemaker, his With all the adversity one faces in life, one of the biggest may be self-motivation. For Lock Haven University senior soccer player and track athlete Tom Skrivanek, a native of St. lames, N.Y., overcoming challenges first came at an early age. When he was only two years old. Skrivanek's parents learned that he needed a pacemaker, which is a small, battery operated device that sends electrical impulses to the heart to help keep it pumping at regular intervals. At the age of five, he had two major heart surgeries and had his first pacemaker implanted into his chest. "The doctors told me I was lucky to live," Skrivanek recalled. "When I was young, 1 knew I was different, but I didn't want to ever use that as an excuse or as a crutch. I just wanted to be like everyone else." Skrivanek may have been born with a faulty heart, but his desire and passion to be competitive has always been there. At the age of four, he started play- doctors would not allow him to play lacrosse and hockey, which were two popular sports in St. James. When he was 10, Skrivanek had two more major heart surgeries within a one-month time period in which he had another pacemaker implanted. The surgeries did not sideline him for long, as he continued to be active and compete in soccer. In seventh grade, he started running track and field. "My pacemaker does not help or hurt my running. It kicks in when my heart beat goes below 50 beats per minute, which is usually when I'm sleeping or really relaxed, like in a really boring class," Skrivanek laughed. Many people find it difficult to get motivated and lead an active, healthy lifestyle. For Skrivanek, that motivation came mainly from his parents, Frank and Trudy Skrivanek. "My parents are awesome," he said. "They were so solid and positive when 1 was growing up. They were always there for me * mm Sunday 28 University of Vermont 1 p.m. Wednesday 31 Lehigh University' 7 p.m. Friday 2 Penn State University 7 p.m. Friday 9 Towson University 6 Sunday 11 La Salle University Saturday 17 University at Albany Sunday 18 Colgate University Photos Courtesy of Sports Information p.m. noon 1 p.m. 1 p.m. Wednesday 21 Bucknell University 7 p.m. Sunday 25 St. Francis University (P.A.) 1 p.m. Friday 30 Sacred Heart University 1 p.m. OCTOBER Sunday 2 Alumnae Game TBA Friday 7 Rider University 4 p.m. Sunday 9 Monmouth University 1 p.m. Wednesday 12 Robert Morris University 3 p.m. Friday 14 Siena College 3 p.m. Sunday 16 Quinnipiac University I p.m. Friday 21 Fairfield University 4 p.m. Sunday 23 Ohio State University (at Penn State) noon Wednesday 26 Lafayette College 7 p.m. Sunday-Monday 30-31 Longwood University Tournament Sunday 30 Davidson College 1 p.m. Monday 31 Longwood University 1 p.m. Skrivanek in action for track and soccer (below). and kept me in line. They always told me I could do whatever I wanted to do. I was blessed with good parents." One of Skrivanek's goals was to prove to all those who said that he couldn't be successful wrong. When he came to LHU, he continued to run track and field, and during his sophomore year he was part of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Indoor Track & Field distance medley relay team. During his junior year, he ran a leg of the PSAC Indoor Championship 4x400 relay squad. Tom also started playing soccer again his junior year, and with his help, his teammates were PSAC Champions last season. In total, he has been part offive PSAC championship teams. His determination to succeed has led to an impressive list of accomplishments throughout his athletic endeavors. Mark Elliston, LHU Track and Field coach, was impressed by Skrivanek's drive to be successful. "It was more ofa concern to us as coaches than it was to him." Elliston said. "As he trained, he had the desire to do well. It hasn't put a damper on his desire and ability." "Tom is an absolute delight," said Doug Moore, Skrivanek's soccer coach at LHU. "He's a terrific guy and in great condition. He doesn't want his pacemaker to be an issue, so it's not an issue with us. He is a great teammate and role model." In November, Skrivanek had another pacemaker implanted, his first one in 11 years. "The wire from my heart runs under my collarbone and up into my neck," he said. "From all the excessive lifting I had done, the wire actually wore down and started to shock my whole chest." He missed six weeks of training, and although he wasn't supposed to run per doctor's orders, he ran anyway. "I have that competitive personality; I don't like to lose," he said. "I'm proud of what I've done, and I really don't think there is any difference between me and the next guy. I'm just part of the team." and held daiy. Check oninefor dass descriptions and times.

The new Intramural Field would be equipped with a running fence and lights. Construction is scheduled to happen as soon as this summer. There is an alternate plan. The parking lot behind Akeley would be removed and McCollum field (soccer field) would be renovated into three multi-purpose fields. One field would be the regulation soccer field and two others fields would be adjacent. All fields would be equipped with adequate lighting The new fields would be used for teaching instruction, club sports, intramural activities, and varsity sports. All Lock Haven University students, faculty, and staff are stakeholders in this change. McEntire/ High/ Gross Hall residents- how will the bright lights affect your sleeping?

An opening reception is planned for Friday at 7:00 p.m in the gallery.

This particular work is one that received honorable recognition the last time it was displayed. Larger paintings include John Fudrow's award winning painting as well as some sculpture installations to add compliments to several ofhis works. "It's like the piece fell right out ofthe painting." said student Nate Hamm. "They go together well," he said referring to F'udrow's painting-and-sculpturc hybrid installation.

It is certainly no sin to not be Sidney Poitier, especially when there are far larger acting-related sins in this world, most of which you've, unfortunately, committed (such as That 70's Show, Punk'd, The Butterfly Effect... I could go on. but I think you get thc idea). But, while it is no sin to not be Sidney Poitier, it is as close to a cinematic sin as you can get to act in Guess Who, a very loose remake of Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?, one ofhis most popular movies, and come out with something that is a pale imitation (no pun intended) ofthe original. It was a welcome sight to not see you in thc role of a complete idiot for once. Your role of Simon Green only forced you to act like halfan idiot in attempting to lie at every turn to your future fathcr-in-law. Admittedly, if my future father-in-law was a man built like Percy Jones, as played by Bernie Mac, I might be tempted to do the same. But, if my fiance was portrayed by the lovely Zoe Saldana, I would use a tad more discretion with my lies, so as to not screw a good thing up. The complaint I have Mr. Kutcher is not with the acting (though, given time and space, I could), with thc story. It is all well and good to show your character and Percy bonding and all well and but good to explain why you quit your job. but. if you never give the audience any reason to believe why these things are happening, never show them how things got to this point, then you've accomplished nothing and merely strung along the audience on a slender thread. After all, it is a bit ofa leap of imagination to assume that, in the space of a few days, Percy Jones could go from wanting to move Simon to a hotel and feel the need to lock him in the basement to playing living room football with him and accepting dance lessons from him. Admittedly, with the rapidity that plot strands are introduced, dropped, or left unexplained, it wouldn't particularly surprise mc if Percy Jones were somehow Simon Green's father...which would make an entirely different, possibly more interesting movie altogether. Mr. Kutcher, 1 admire your attempt at making a good movie, one that doesn't showcase you as a complete stoner. I'm just not confident that you have a good movie inside your acting body anywhere. You were "born" on thc small screen and maybe that's where your natural home is. Please, for thc sake of us all. run home to it and stay there.

You can find it in bookstores, gas stations, college cam- puses, any restaurant, and many kitchens across the world. What could it possibly be, you might ask? It is coffee, of course. It's everywhere. And for some peopie, especially college students, it is just as much a staple in their diet as a carbohydrate. "1 had my first cup ofcoffee when I was seven years old," sociology major. "Ever since then. 1 have had a cup of coffee every morning." For some people, a cup of coffee is an enjoyable beverage that is consumed for its flavor and deliciousness. For the rest of us, it's consumed simply because without that helpful little pick-me-up every morning, we would resemble something much like a walking zombie. Yes, a significant number of college kids are addicted to that early morning caffeine-kick that CI 2005 King Features Syndicate, Inc is stimulated, and your heart begins to beat faster. In result of all this, you begin to feel energized. A number of studies have concluded that habitual coffee consumers are at a higher risk of having miscarriages and birth defects, osteoporosis and arthritis. So is all this information enough to make you exchange your caffeinated mug of coffee for a decaffeinated version? Probably not. In a day and age where prescription drugs are just about as readily available as a pack of chewing gum, a cup of coffee does not really pose that much of a threat. And this kind of negative information about the effects of coffee does not seem to be stopping college kids from their daily consumptions. "This past semester has been the busiest it has been in six years." said Kelley. "More and more people are drinking coffee."

"Coffee, lattes and cappuccinos arc definitely thc most popular drinks, although wc sell a lot of smoothies when the weather gets warmer," said Jazzman's Cafe employee Linda Kelley. Research has suggested that a cup of coffee a day can reduce the risk of heart disease, Parkinson's disease, and gallstones. It also acts as a powerful antioxidant. But wait, before you get all excited and rush to the nearest Starbucks, consider this as well. Coffee contains caffeine, and caffeine is an addictive drug.

Vanessa Carlton and Sugarcult performed at the same concert on Saturday night in Thomas Field House. The 11AC concert committee sponsored event tilled about half of the gymnasium, with many concert-goers expressing complaints because of thc rain prior to the doors opening about fifteen minutes later than expected. Carlton is a solo singer and pianist with music that can be described as earthy and sensual in style while Sugarcult is a punk rock band with loud electric guitars, bass and drums. She put the crowd into a somewhat mellow and contemplative state which made the shock ot" Sugarcult's punk rock sound even more intense. Although the acoustics in the gym made the music reverberate and the volume of the sound system was a little too loud to hear the lyrics the vocalists were singing, the concert was a good one. even if the crowd didn't seem to be feeling it fully. ■ Maggie Herhck/Eagle Eye Marko 72 has played with other punk bands besides Sugarcult, such as The Ataris and The Swingin' Utters.

The concert time was pushed back an hour later than it usually is. Sugarcult flew in from California and said that they would play in Lock Haven anytime because they liked the town so much. Although it might have been the rock stars in them talking, it was still comforting to know that the Lock Haven Community was such an inviting one. Sugarcult played some old and new selections as well as covers like. "I Wanna Be Sedated" that got a few people in the crowd jumping and many more singing and bobbing along. "Memory." "She's the Blade," and "Pretty Gut? seemed to be among the crowd favorites.
