Alumni Center brings local employment I Alarm. Beightol / Eagle Eye McCollum Field's natural grass may turn to turf if a proposal by the athletic department approved. The field experiences excessive use and problems with upkeep have resulted. Len Mahonski Staff Reporter A proposal to resurface Jack Stadium, which was slated to begin next summer, was put on hold for a year to explore the possibility of also adding turf to McCollum Field. The new proposal will include McCollum Field in the mix and have both fields resurfaced by the summer of 2008. In the new proposal, McCollum Field, which has a natural grass surface, would receive a facelift and have synthetic turf added. University officials agree it is hard to maintain the natural grass turf because of the excessive use it receives since the closings of the other fields on campus. As a result of the dikelevee initiative, the lower field has given way for a parking lot and the intramural field has been reserved for parking due to the Alumni Center Project, leaving the university with only two fields on campus for classes, athletics and free-play. "Money has been allotted for research to study the feasibility of surfacing both fields According to Taylor, the at once," Sharon E.

Laubscher, who is now the Assistant Forest Pest Management Specialist for the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (PaDCNR), Forest Pest Management Division, had the idea for the project while he was still a student at LHU. "While attending LHU as a former student of Dr. Kutay's Entomology class, 1 had also been working as a volunteer for PaDCNR's Forest Pest Management Division documenting Hemlock Woolly Adelgid infestations in Clinton County and surrounding areas," said Laubscher.

The committee members and members of the senate conferred at length over whether the method by which students evaluate professors should be administered online or remain in its current form. Currently, students complete the evaluation by answering questions on a paper form that is fed into a which then computer processes the results. This system presents several problems, including computer difficulties and the massive quantity of forms that need processing.

From, Alumni, A1 The alumni center is an anticipated and importan component of campus and community improvement. "I dream that in the future this endeavor will bring an overflow of many different people to the Lock Haven Campus," Kistler said. The conference center will house university admissions as well as large meeting spaces for the Lock Haven community, students and visitors. As for alumni, the center will have a large quantity of meeting and conference rooms, which will include the Fredericks Family Library that will house books as well as publications authored by alumni and faculty. "Eddie Dove was just recently published; hopefully there will be a place for his new accomplishment there too," said Kistler. The conference center also will include small conference areas and will feature a multipurpose room that can seat up to 400 people. According to the LHU of Public Department Relations, a total of $8.8 million has been awarded in site construction contracts for the designed 31,000 square-foot conference center. Dillsburgbased Lobar Inc. is managing the project as general contracSilvertip Mechanical is handling plumbing and HVAC; Williamsport-based and Turnkey Electric are conducting electrical work. The center's construction will make a further contribution to the impact that both Lock Haven University and the LHU Foundation have on Lock Haven and the surrounding areas. Nicole Jacobs / Eagle Eye Job fairs can ease the job hunt Brandy Rissmiller Staff Reporter Job fairs are a vital part of the job search. While they are not a necessary step in finding a job, they are a big help. As the name implies, job fairs are typically fair-like environments, where employers assemble in rows of booths to speak to you about their jobs. Job fairs are an excellent place to land employment because employers are there with the intent of arranging interviews. Although rare, some employers even interview and hire on the spot.

Almost like the issue of social security (the third rail of politics), the existence and continued support of Israel is an issue that few politicians are willing to touch. Due to the inability to separate the racially spurred events that led to its creation and the logistical nightmare that its protection has led to has left the billions of dollars of support to Israel's defense to be taken as an automatic form of fiscal policy rather than what it should be - a question as to its importance. tion there has been a significant amount of frictionally fact wholly feasible.

The Bush administration is constantly being mocked and made the butt of many jokes. President Bush commented to Bill O'Reilly on Fox News last Wednesday that he thinks many people would rather see the president of the country uplifted rather than mocked. I can agree that most Americans would prefer to praise the president rather than abhor him. It's just too bad his actions aren't eliciting such a response. Bush entered Iraq claiming that the chance the country had weapons of mass destruction was a threat to the American people and that the problem. Many Americans do feel compassion and sympathy for the Iraqi people that are suf- Saddam Hussein needed to be removed from power.

O'Reilly says critics and Stephanie LaSota the media have become "irraare still there even though the tional about it." He said their constant mockery of Bush is U.S. government has discovered that there are in fact no dangerous for America. He proceeded to say that weapons.

I believe in helping people and in aiding other countries. If we are in Iraq, why not Sudan also? Why not Cuba? There are hundreds of places where people are dying and need help. There are many places with oppressive governments that execute dissidents without batting an eye.

But, I think he is narrowing the terror-ridden world to a single country. It seems that Bush has a hidden agenda and is using this excuse to facilitate it.

Finally for this week's moral which hinges on the U.S. tax burden which has come out of its leadership in support for Israel. Let it be known firstly that the United States before all other countries of the world supports Israel's existence through the sending of money, weapons, and troops to defend the region. All this for what? It would be a mistake to assume that other countries oppose Israel's existence for the sole reason that there is a tension between the two faiths. Anyone with any understanding of Islam would know that a core concept ofthe faith is to respect other faiths. It is thus obviously not a religious fight that is being fought in Israel but a right to worship and have equal say in ; of Getty Images Should we capture and sequester carbon emitted by smokestacks like this one, or eliminate the pollution in the first place?

The Bush administration refused to sign onto the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement adopted in Japan in 1997 calling on countries to limit their emissions of greenhouse gases. Instead, many environmentalists feel, they are pursuing carbon sequestration technology as a quick fix or "Band-Aid" approach that enables them to preserve the existing fossil fuel infrastructure instead of replacing it with clean renewable energy sources or efficiency gains. Essentially the technology involves disposing of carbon dioxide after it is produced, rather than trying to hold down its production in the first place. United Nations' studies suggest, however, that it might play a bigger role in fighting global warming this century than any other measure.

The least someone can do is give the same respect they would ask for if they were in the actors' positions. If people are unwilling to be quiet, behave and keep their comments to themselves, I don't think they should waste anyone's time by disrupting the performance and the audience's enjoyment of the show by taking up space that could have been given to someone who actually cared about the show and actually wanted to see it.

Costumes are what seem to make Halloween so special. What is the first thing you think of when thinking of Halloween? The answer is usually dressing up and going to a party or going trick-ortreating.

The team put up a fight against New York Institution of Technology and came out on top with a 32 victory. Starting early in the match, two minutes in, was Chris Spinks who received a pass from Jon Young. Spinks kicked it home for the first goal ofthe game. Paul Huckett followed suit in the 15th minute after taking an Ashley Rosindale pass and putting it past NYIT keeper Cosimo D'Agostino. NYIT's Peter Antoniades headed a pass from teammate Frank Sapnos past Haven keeper Chad Feerrar for the Bears' first goal ofthe game. In the 60th minute of the second half, three Bald Eagles came together to net the third goal of the game for Lock Haven. Chris Spinks launched a 30 yard pass to Leadopoe Geain, who in turn headed the pass to Huckett who then kicked the ball home. The final goal of the game came from NYIT freshman Keith Clancy on a break-away. Coach Moore commented on the game saying, "It is always a pleasure to play against NYIT as they are a very skillful team and come out to play against you rather than just defend which is what many teams do against us particularly here at LHU. It was a good open game and I thought we played very well at times even if I was not too happy with the two careless goals we conceded. It was a terrific sending the game into overdown.

Nittany Lion players and coaches were also upset, voicing a bit oftheir displeasure after the game. Joe Paterno said his team was lousy and that some piayers have shown no improvement from the start of the season. So it's back to the drawing board for Penn State this week, as the Lions try to tlx what ails their inconsistent offensive line. Fortunately for the boys in blue and white, Purdue's defense has the ability to make a common doodle artist look like Monet. The problem for Penn State is that the players will actually have to execute, which has proven easier said than done this year. "The offensive line didn't give up seven sacks against Michigan," tackle and offensive captain Levi Brown said after the Illinois game his first meeting with the media in nearly a month. "You can say that, but we all know that more goes into it than just the offensive line." - Brown commented that it's difficult for the offensive line when the coaching staff continues to switch personnel during the game, saying it's tougher to get into a groove that way. "A lot of guys are feeling like if [they] mess up, then [they] will be taken out and things like that, and we've just got to get over that," Brown said. Starting guard Robert Price was replaced midway through the game by sophomore Gerald Cadogan, and starting right tackle John Shaw was replaced by Chris Auletta. Nothing worked too well, resulting in just 40 yards rushing for Penn State against a decent defense. "Once a group is in there together for a couple plays we start to get in sync," Brown said. "But when [the coaches] keep switching, it takes people out of sync and the new person has to get used to the defender he's going against." It is unfair to place all the blame on the front five. Sophomore wide receiver Deon Butler hinted at a failure to adapt to what Illinois' defense was showing, which is odd because Paterno's line this season, when asked about conservative play-calling, has often been that the offense takes what the opposdefense gives it. ing According to Butler, the Fighting Illini were giving up the middle of the field, but the Penn State offense just wasn't taking. "Their corners were sitting low, and their safeties were running outside the hash," Butler told the Post-Gazette. Pittsburgh "That's why a couple oftimes I caught the ball on the sidelines I was getting hit as soon as I caught it. We could have easily gone inside of the safeties and gave them a double move. We could easily just run inside the safety. We won, but that is stuff we can learn from." Penn State's offense*has rarely utilized the middle of the field in the passing game, but Saturday might have been an ideal time to start. "We played into their hands a little bit." Butler said. "With them being so aggressive, we should have used that against them." 1 My eyes, they're bleeding ere goes the neighborhood pitched and 111 Yes, the NHL.

Using all of the played out ingredients from the horror film recipe book, the audience gets a generous dose of the "Don't go in there!" scenes, the "I can't leave my friends!" scenes and of course the "He's right behind you!" scenes sprinkled throughout the movie. The only thing viewers wonder is which one of the unwary teenagers are going to come out unscathed, or at least alive. There is no need for concern though, as the movie does deliver gruesomeness, which is the main reason many blood-thirsty moviegoers see horror flicks.

R. Lee Ermey is back, playing Sheriff Hoyt, and anyone who saw the first Massacre remake knows this hillbilly cop takes pleasure in playing head games with his victims to the point where their mental anguish is almost as bad as their physical pain. At times, the audience can find themselves more disgusted with Hoyt than they do the yielding chainsaw Leatherface. From start to finish, the viewer is treated to graphic scenes of blood, gore, torture, and unrelenting mind games, which is no surprise to a horror fan. Really, it's all been done death. (No pun intended) "The Beginning" doesn't bring anything new to the to 'Stop Kiss' is sh ow stopper Sara Gerber Staff Reporter nummmam m r 6b«r 28, 2006 "Stop Kiss" by Diana Son was performed in Sloan's Countdown Theatre last week, marking the start of the University Player's fall season. "Stop Kiss" was directed by senior theatre major Katie Woodring. This production marked her directorial debut, and a successful one at that. On each of the four nights that the show ran, the theater was filled to capacity. The black box theater created an intimate setting for a show with such heavy-hitting subject matter. The show is about a hate crime committed against two friends who happen to fall in love with each other. The crowd couldn't help but feel the emotion of Callie, a radio traffic reporter, played by senior Melissa Hanson, when her "lesbian" lover and she are attacked. Sara, played by junior Emily Gould, was left in a coma after the attack.

Last year, the fellowship sent 50 people to Pittsburgh to help a needy community and to serve as strength and inspiration offering hope and a sense of belonging to people in need. Senior Ryan Yarnell said the difference between the fellowship here at LHU and other ministries is the community involvement. "Other Christian organizations seem to be all talk and no action, the CSF and BCC have a positive impact on the community and are constantly making a difference and extending a helping hand to those in need," said Yarnell. Member of the Blanchard Church of Christ and student at LHU, Rick Harvey, agrees the church and fellowship have a lot to offer people. "It's a wonderful place, the people are friendly and the church plays an active role to help others," said Harvey.
