Lock Haven University honored his memory by welcoming Juan Williams, a prominent reporter for the Washington Post. The program began with a spiritual introduction and prayer by Dr. Roosevelt Green that spoke of King's belief in a "personal God who gave the strength to endeavor." The LHU Gospel Choir sang "Lift Every Voice and Sing" the Black National Anthem, urging everyone to join in. Next in the program was a touching poem written and delivered by Ms. Amy Freeman, Director of The Human and Cultural Diversity Program at LHU. The poem, entitled "Carry the Dream," depicted her hopes and dreams about how future generations will view the past and carry on the future. The poem ended by saying "we did what we could to propel them into the heavens and mountains yonder." Williams' opening remark was that he wasn't giving a speech, but rather a talk about how race is a problem in society. The question was posed, what do you do when faced with the issue of race, when you hear racist comments? He strongly encouraged that you "stand up and offer your vision," telling students that they can do more than they think they can to combat racism. Williams offered his views dealing with the media, specifically the television and music industry. He stated that in movies the popular culture always has one guy or one girl against the world. In other words, he said that one person can't take on the world without mentioning how people need to group together to accomplish their goals. "Don't believe in the popular culture. Realize that in American History there are examples of people that didn't swallow the sleeping pill but stood up for what they believe in and made a difference," was the main point made by Williams His worries that "television shows send messages that tell people to stay with their own group of friends and not go out and meet new people from different backgrounds. Music puts down people of different groups and plays up on violence." Williams cited many examples from history to support his belief. He said that even in death, people can create social change- school and didn't think that it who care enough -tothat is people a change. was fair to be segregated from the rest of the population and decided to do something about it. She wrote a note to distract the make principal and Jones rallied the students as they walked out. The principal caught on and fought with Jones. Jones was suspended from school and the students who once supported her quickly changed their minds. Jones wasn't ready to give in. She called the NAACP for help and they sent lawyers who were little help. Jones called Thurgood Marshall, President of the NAACP for more help. Williams ended his speech with, "You are the people who make history!" and a quote from a song, "Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on, hold on. Life isn't about being comfortable, it's about being uncomfortable and standing up...keep your eyes on the prize." In a question and answer session, Williams noted that the He spoke about Nixon and how he struggled for affirmative action, an issue that Williams feels deserves lo be defended. One of the stories he recalled dated back to the 1940s regarding a 16-year-old from Virginia named Barbara Johns. Jones went to a segregated biggest challenge for this generation is to change America. He said that "we need a sufficient consciousness, will and spirit." He firmly believes that if you work hard you can succeed in society. According to Williams, we are a more and more class divided society and that will not change until a coalition is formed. When addressing the tragedy of Columbine High School, Williams said that it left an indexable impression on the parent's and showed their concern for the future of America. He pointed to popular culture and the media, claiming that the media creates stereotypes that create indifference. He again urged everyone to "become a critical thinker in regard to the media and not succumb to the stereotypical depictions it promotes."

Mother goes to jail for daughters' truancy ' A mother oftwo teenagers was sent to jail for not sending her children to school, police said. While the mother was in jail her children, 13 and 15 were turned over to the Department ofChildren and Family Services. Mindy Pearl Viera, 46, was arrested on misdeameanor charges for allowing her daughters to miss a combined 180 days of school, according to school officials. The two daughters also faileed grade levels at the Citrus Grove Middle School last year. The girls enrolled for school Sept. 28, nearly a month after school started. The mother is up on charges including contributing to the delinquency ofa child, refusal to comply with compulsory school attendance and false offical statements. The mother was sentenced to 60 days in jail for allowing her daughters to miss 315 days of school between 1995-1998.

Seton Hall dorm blazi kills 4 and injuries 58 safety and forging ahead with plans to safeguard dorms against fire. Painfully aware that the Seton Hall dormitory had no sprinklers, officials at the University of Texas at Austin said they're stepping up plans to install the devices in several residence halls. The project is likely to be finished long before its 2001 Christine Tatum — The CHICAGO (TMS) fire alarm that warned of thick, black smoke billowing throughout his Scton Hall University dormitory failed to rouse freshman Pete Tornatore from bed "I actually went back to sleep after I heard the alarm, and my roomdeadline. mate had to wake me up and tell Stanford University also is me it was real," he said. That Tornatore and many of his neighbors didn't immediately spring from bed was of little surprise to several students milling around thc burning building, where 18 false alarms had sounded since September seven of them during December's final exams alone. This time, there was no prank: The Jan. 19 fire that broke out killed three students and injured 58. Ah, the old false alarm. College students past and present know it well. Blaring sirens and Hashing lights — often in the middle of the night — that force everyone to evacuate their rooms until firefighters allow them to return. In some dorms the alarms are so frequent many students, much like those at Seton Hall, lock their doors with hopes that no one will discover they didn't leave the building along with ensuring all of its residence everyone else.

Many institutions press charges against students caught pulling false alarms, and most immediately evict culprits from campus housing. For example, at Indiana University, where housing officials reported 61 false alarms in residence halls between September and October, students arc subject to both criminal prosecution and a campus judiciary. Still other schools pounce on students for seemingly lesser offenses. Students at the University of Missouri are subject disciplinary action for having candles — lit or unlit — in their rooms. "They don't mess around here," said IU senior Caryn Rousseau. Nor should they, said Deanna Wesson, the residence hall director at Marylhurst University, a small liberal-arts school in Oregon where a fire broke out last semester in the campus' only residence hall. Wesson said a student, who was later evicted from campus housing, discarded a still-burning cigarette in a trashcan. None of the 50 students living in the building was hurt. "But you only have to have something like that happen once to know how scary it can be," Wesson said. "People here are still kind of freaked out about it. They've always been pretty cooperative, but since that happened, they've been especially so." to LHU Bookstore Bu a stuffed animal & Titine Balloo n anc^^^gv 5§< receive � tine/ FRE E alen p to $3.00 v.alue) Come check out our Calling Cards!! >\ FREE Campus & Local Delivery For Valentine's Day Flowers Ring Rep - February 16th 17th lO a.m. 2 p.m. in the Bookstore January 28. 2000 The Eaele Eve To succeed one must believe in himself Needless to say, I went back showered in days, he said, "I make being a scumbag look to the instructor and spent the good!" rest of the afternoon with him.

To all the lucky transfers and incoming students, welcome to a place that will only be as good as you make it. I had an interesting break. Spent a lot oftime with my fam- don't. Like I said before, my friend's over confidence is an attractive quality that he possesses. He's one of those guys who's physical attractiveness is complemented so much by his personality. He's lucky he's been blessed with both. And I know I'm just adding fuel to the fire by putting this into print, but that's OK. Everyone knows someone out there who is beautiful or extremely good looking, but yet, he or she has no personality. And then there are the ones that are semi-cute but have this personality that makes them more attractive than anyone you've ever seen before. It all comes from being sure of and accepting due to a lack of confidence. In a class the other day we talked about how if you are raised to believe you are the best, you will become the best. You must believe in yourself, or there will be no chance of you succeeding. You are the creator of you, so why not be the best that you can be? If you aren't the best that's out there, pretend you are. I'm not the greatest example of someone who is over confident, in fact, the only time I'm really comfortable is when I'm in an academic setting or surrounded by my really close friends. But, the key to my success here is pretending I know what I'm doing. Half the time, it comes across that I am really sure about what's going on, but I ■■■■■■ etters to the Edito have.

He has even been known to bring a girl a squash instead of flowers--and not be embarrassed, but he is able to do this because he is comfortable within himself. Now, wouldn't that be a nice way to live? contract between New Beginnings Well, welcome back. I have decided that since it is the beginning of a new semester and a new year, that I would focus on "new beginnings" as the theme for this column. All the hype of the "new millennium" is finally over. There were no blackouts at midnight on January 1st and there were no explosions. All those people hiding in their shelters with the non perishable food items and exorbitant amounts of water have emerged and are proceeding with their lives. So am I. This semester so far has started out well. I have a new housemate and all I can say about him is- well, nothing that I could really put in print without getting in trouble. On a serious note, he was not our first choice of a housemate, but since he has moved in with us, it has been nothing but laughs-- and drinking. It is amazing that there are people out there that you have never met before, but as soon as you do, you make a connection with them and you feel like you have known them forever. I swear that I have known Chris all throughout my college career. He fits in so well in our house. Not only because he actually comes out of his room and interacts with us, unlike the two hermit housemates that we lost, but also because he is just as crazy as the rest of us. Don't get me wrong, I do not know all the things that I need to about him, nor do I necessarily agree with everything that comes out of his mouth. Actually there are many times that he will say something and I will absolutely cringe, but through time, I will learn more about him, as he will us, and we will grow to appreci- one another more, as is true with all new beginnings. Of course, now I am going to switch topics in thc middle of my column, as is my custom and go completely off base. Well, not completely. Over Christmas break I revisited my old high school, a place that I swore up, down and sideways I would never set foot inside again and saw an old teachate er. I could say that she was my inspiration as to why I decided to major in English, but that would be an immense lie. Actually she was the one teacher that I absolutely hated in school. We chatted for hours and I came to the conclusion that although she is WACKO, 1 love her. There were so many things that we discussed from college, careers to my love life. When I walked out of her room I had such a clear perspective on things. I realized that if I would have maybe just paid a little more attention to her three years ago and didn't call her a b*tch during a 7th grade English class, I would have realized this a lot sooner. Anyway, that wasn't completely off the topic, I guess you can say that I had a new beginning with her. I have realized since being in college that we all have to make new beginnings in our lives at very different times and for very different reasons. I think that is the basis of what college is all about. If you think about it when you chose to go to college you were making a new beginning, and from that point on, you continue to make new beginnings. From that first roommate that you bonded with, or that neigh- bor that you first met while she was stumbling down the hallway "brushing her teeth," or the kid that sat behind you in your first class, you have been starting new beginnings all throughout college. It may be time to say goodbye to people who have graduated in December, or to prepare to lose someone this May. We may be realizing that we have wasted a few semesters here and are changing majors or even schools. We begin anew with the opposite sex, or even members of the same sex, but through it all we survive and become stronger. I know I am getting deep and emotional and that is not the way I want to start out everyones weekend. Alright, alright, enjoy thc snow, go outside and play for a few hours this weekend and don't forget to actually open your books for a few hours too. Osmosis won't work, believe me, I found that out the hard way. And if you get the chance, I highly recommend meeting someone new or re-meeting someone you already know. It can make a huge difference. Have a good one LHU! PS. Another quick note on new beginnings, Flyers veteran Rod Brind'amour will be making his new beginnings with the Carolina Hurricanes and Keith Primeau will be making his with the Flyers.

Her passionate voice and rhythmically, soulful expressions filled the PUB Multipurpose Room last Wednesday night the way a spiritual sermon from a gospel choir fills the boughs of the church steeple. The performance inspired strength and self worth while an providing entertaining evening of poetry. The 36-year-old performance poet was raised in North Carolina and shared with her large, Christian family a love for music. Despite this love, she didn't boast the talent or ability to devote herself to singing or instrumental performance. In her poetry she recalls Sundays spent admiring her aunts in the church choir and their ability to arouse her emotions with what she refers to as "the beat that frees my soul." Infused with music and culture from her childhood and nourished with the growth of personal experience, Redmond discovered her own unique style of freeing her soul and in 1993 she quit her job as a counselor to become a professional poet. Redmond's strength in performance poetry extends not only to her inspirational compositions, but to her rhythmically animated presentations as well. Energetically revealing the story of her life, Redmond alludes to a range of autobiographical topics, from hats and basketball to her family, friends and femininity. Having involuntarily memorized most ofher poems, she delivers them effortlessly with musical overtones and a decisive beat, often characterized by grunting, stomping or snapping. Listening to her poetry is as natural as listening to a song. Her words are vivid yet understandable and the messages, conveyed with attitude and charisma, are enlightening. Although the majority of Redmond's works communicate elements of African American culture, she claims that it is unintentional. The purely autobiographical nature of her poetry lends itself to her culture, yet her poems have deeper meanings that go beyond the influence of ethnicity and investigate the strength and determination of the "I'm dealing with what's going on in my life," said Redmond. "Hopefully what I do transcends me being a black female, but it's who I am." The content of her poems may evoke varied interpretations and responses among different races; however, Redmond feels that her poetry is "just as appreciated by Whites as it is by Blacks." Redmond feels that Blacks probably regard her work as an "affirmation" while to Whites she feels it may be educational. Regardless ofaudience composition, Redmond's poetry and her means of expressing it are entertaining and encouraging. She is often incorporated into the movement referred to as spokenword or performance poetry, a type of poetry that is thought to have an increased effect when heard rather than read. Redmond admits that her poems need to be heard in order for the audience to understand her rhythm and words, but she does not discourage the reading of it. While reading poetry does take the energy out ofthe delivery, it allows the reader to interpret a work without external influence. Horoscopes For the week of January 31 Aries (March 2l-April 19).

I'm only 24 though so that's okay. So here is my advice to everyone. If you have dreams righ now, go for them with all your heart. But also accept the fact that the dreams you have now may not be the same dreams you have for your whole life. You will change, and your priorities will change. If you don't know what you want to do with your life, try no to worry about it. I can tell you from experience that things usually work themselves out, even if it takes a while. I still think you have to prove you deserve the good things, but I think if you live your life right things will 1 okay. If you get anything out of reading this, just know that there is more to life than making money or impressing people or having a "grown up" life when you are 22 years old. You learn a lo about yourself and what really matters to you by experiencing things you never would have ex- pected. WX Sometimes I'm still confused about what I want to be when I "grow up", but I am working hard and living life anc trusting that I'll end up some where where I'm happy. I told you all this because i has a whole lot to do with what brought me back to school and what made me want to write this page for the newspaper. Healthy living, to me, involves taking care ofmyself, enjoying the lit tie things, and appreciating what is out there for me. It means helping myself physically, mentally, spiritually, and helping others along the way. It also means getting out there and taking a few chances. I am not the bravest person in the world; I am not the strongest or the fittest, but I really do value the "healthy" things that are out there for us to grow from. So I want to use this page to fill you in on some of that gooc stuff. Occasionally I'll give you more of my words of wisdom but I'll also give you plenty o bona-fide information. I'll tel you about things that have happened on campus or nearby, things that are going to happen, and also fill you in on some topics that I think everyone shouk know about. Don't worry, there will still be plenty of news from the outdoors, but there'll be other stuff too. Hopefully by the time we all leave here we'll feel more informed, and more inspired to make some good decisions about all sorts of things that just make our lives better. Good luck with the new semester, and stay tuned! Striking a balance, accepting change God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Members of Alcoholics Anonymous have enthusiastically embraced this prayer—known as the Serenity Prayer—almost from the moment they discovered it. In fact, these 25 words are widely taken as a succinct statement of a path to sanity and sobriety. The Serenity Prayer meshes perfectly with the spirituality of AA's Twelve Steps. In her book "The Kitchen Mystic: Spiritual Lessons Hidden in Everyday Life," author Mary HayesGrieco notes that this prayer "contains the sum total of what spiritual life is: a series of lessons about when to accept life as it is, and when to make changes for the better." There are several versions of the Serenity Prayer, each with slightly different wording. Also, there are conflicting accounts of the prayer's origin. It has been variously attributed to an ancient Sanskrit text, Aristotle, St. Au- gustine, St. Francis ofAssisi, and others. Many AA members were first exposed to the prayer in 1948, when it was quoted in the "Grapevine", an AA periodical. There it was credited to theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It's been a fixture at AA meetings and in the "Grapevine" ever since. Despite its brevity, the Serenity Prayer accurately expresses a central problem of addiction and prescribes a timeless solution. In its message about acceptance, it echoes insights from Bill W., cofounder of A A. In the book "Alcoholics Anonymous" (AA World Services, $5), Bill described the core trait of alcoholics as selfcenteredness —something he called "self will run riot.' He further described the alcoholic as "an actor who wants to run the whole show; is forever trying to arrange the lights, the ballet, the scenery and the rest of the players in his own way." Bill's solution: "First of all, we had to quit playing God." What some alcoholics seek to achieve is a sense of absolute control —one that is simply not possible for human beings. This hankering for control has two aspects. First is an attempt to control the behavior of others, a strategy that addicts cling to despite its repeated failure. Second is an attempt to con- trol feelings by medicating them with mood-altering chemicals. This strategy, too, is doomed to failure. Ironically, the quest for absolute control leads to misery, which may contribute to substance abuse problems. On the other hand, for some alcoholics the need to control may be a response to the unmanageability caused by their out-ofcontrol use of drugs. Either way, the Serenity Prayer speaks wisdom to addicts and non-addicts alike. On one level, the prayer is about learning to accept external circumstances that we cannot change. But on a deeper level, the prayer points to a fact about our inner life: We cannot directly control our feelings. However, we can influence our feelings through two other factors we can control—our thinking and our actions. Doing this moves us on to another quality described in the Serenity Prayer: courage. This is the quality that psychiatrist Viktor Frankl displayed during his incarceration in Nazi concentration camps. Frankl concluded that everything can be taken from us except one thing: "the last of human freedoms —to choose one's own attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way", he wrote in "Man's Search for Meaning" (Beacon making them in our daily lives. Ultimately courage is about this willingness and capacity to choose. And even in the most arduous circumstances, two choices are almost always available to us: where to place our attention and what action to take next. The Serenity Prayer is a wide door, one that's open to people of all faiths and backgrounds. People who live this prayer discover how to strike a dynamic balance Alive and Free is a chemical health column created by Hazelden, a nonprofit agency that provides a wide range of information and services relating to alcohol and drug dependence.

Frankl noted that the prisoners most likely to survive were those who had a vivid sense of purpose in life. Moreover, even in the humiliation of the camps, prisoners still had choices about how to act. Some betrayed their fellow inmates and secretly allied with German guards. Others committed acts of daily heroism, everything from sharing a last crust of bread to caring for the sick. If Frankl could make choices in the desolation of a concentration camp, then we can start between acceptance and change. This gift is precious, and it's one that we can enjoy for a lifetime.

They return to action tomorrow when they travel to Edinboro to take on the Fighting Scots at 3 p.m. Schall honored with PSAC Top Ten Award Lady Eagle volleyball student-athlete Sarah Schall was selected as the recipient of one of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference's Fall Top Ten Awards. The Top Ten awards recognize five male and five female stu- dent-athletes from the PSAC who distinguish themselves in the classroom, as well as in the arena of competition. The conference designates Top Ten Award winners after each of the competitive sports' seasons; fall, winter and spring. Schall is a four-time All-Region player and was selected to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight All-Tournament team this past season after leading the Lady Eagles to their second PSAC Tournament and Atlantic Region title. A three-time PSAC West Player of the Year ('97, '98, '99) and the 1996 PSAC West Rookie of the Year, Schall is Lock Haven's record holder for career kills (1900), career digs (1563), and single season digs (439; 1997). This season she tallied 440 kills, 363 digs, 54 service aces and 67 blocks, helping the team to a 32-6 overall record. A threetime PSAC Scholar-Athlete, Schall has a cumulative grade point average of 3.6/4.0 as a Health and Physical Education major at the University. To be a candidate for the Top Ten Awards, a studentathlete must have achieved a minimum of a 3.25 cumulative grade point average and be a starter or key reserve with legitimate athletic credentials. Only student-athletes from the fall sports season are eligible for the Fall Top Ten Awards. Those sports include men's and women's cross country, field hockey, football, men's and women's soccer, women's tennis and volleyball. The Top Ten Awards provide the PSAC an extra tier in the recognition of thc top student-athletes on all PSAC squads with 3.25 cumulative GPAs or better. Additionally, the PSAC names the top Male and Female Scholar- Tribune ATLANTA — Running back Marshall Faulk really had no idea what kind of team he was joining when the Indianapolis Colts swung a draft-day trade to send him to St. Louis. Well, he thought he knew. But, luckily for him, it turned out he was wrong. "I understood that I was coming to a 4-12 team, but I didn't understand exactly what they had," Faulk said. "I wanted to go to the mini-camp and see my teammates and get a feel for these guys. After the first minicamp, I had a feeling of what we could be." Although he was coming off a sensational 1998 season, Faulk proved even better than advertised. He became a key component in the Rams' run to Super Bowl XXXIV against the Tennessee Titans. In his sixth season in the league and first with the Rams, Faulk accounted for more yards from scrimmage than any player in NFL history with 2,429 — surpassing 1,000 yards in both rushing and receiving. The Rams have plenty of offensive weapons, but Titans coach Jeff Fisher doesn't hesitate when asked who worries him most. "Marshall Faulk," he said. "He's my biggest concern. He was our concern during the regular season. He's the guy you have to stop. I'm not lessening the importance of the other players on their offense, but to have a chance, you have to minimize his big plays. If you don't stop him, you are very vulnerable." As much of a problem as Faulk presents for the Titans, St. Louis is equally determined to limit the effectiveness of Tennessee running back Eddie George, who this season earned his third straight trip to the Pro Bowl. The Rams often use their And that can make a quarterback's job much easier, which is just fine with Steve McNair. "When you have a great running back like Eddie George, who is a complete back, you don't have to put up great numbers as a quarterback," McNair said. "You don't have to take it all upon your shoulders." George is a powerful and explosive runner, as he showed in his 199-yard performance against the Raiders on Dec. 9. This season, he added an element of Faulk to his game with career-highs of 47 catches for 458 yards to go along with his 1,304 yards rushing. But there should be no confusing the two backs Sunday. "He's obviously the closest thing to Barry Sanders, if not better," George said of Faulk. "He brings so much to the game. He's not only a run threat to take it 80 (yards), but he can also catch it out ofthe backfield and be a great receiver. Myself, I'm just a power back who tries to make a move here or there. But I more or less rely on my power and speed." The Rams owned the No. 1 run defense in the league when they held George to 68 yards on 17 carries on Oct. 31 in a game the host Titans won 24-21. In the same game, Faulk rushed 16 times for 90 yards and had six receptions for 94. George is accustomed to the attention he attracts. "We face eight- and nine-man fronts every time we play," he said. "We just deal with it. There's not much more we can do to prepare for them. For me, I just have to be disciplined in how I approach the hole and read the defense." The Rams have more options on offense, but that does not dilute the importance of Faulk's contributions. St. Louis was a two-touchdown favorite in the NFC game Championship against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Faulk was held to 49 yards total offense in a game the Rams won 11-6. "You can't let him get going," Tennessee defensive end Jevon Kearse said. "You have to keep an eye on him at all times. He comes out of the backfield and makes things happen." To some defensive players, Faulk's appearance on the field actually represents an opportunity to take a rest. Granted, those players are Faulk's teammates. "Marshall has meant a full cup of Gatorade," Rams defensive tackle D'Marco Farr said. "It seemed like before he got here, our offense usually went three-and-out and we were back on the field. He can get first downs running the ball or catching the ball and that keeps us on the sideline longer and keeps us rested." The Rams just might need all the rest they can get to deal with George. uzzer- eaters subject to . review by NCAA referees .was released (win, lose, tie) And it's a bit strange. a before the of the perichange," Lappas sounding "It's good ht-Ridder Tribune said.
