Artwork continues to provoke Apartment complex built near Doc's campus discussions after show to me," Sarah Wojcik Staff Reporter The controversy and discussion that has erupted on campus due to Robin Jones' artwork appears to be only the beginning. Jones' work appeared in the juried art show that officially opened last Wednesday in Sloan. Two of his pieces attracted the attention of LHU's administration and were taken down until an agreement was reached on how the campus would respond to the student and faculty reaction. "They wanted to discuss ways of dealing with the content of the work," said Raymond Heffner, the chair of the Art Department. Theremoval ofthe work was only temporary and the art was replaced by Wednesday afternoon. It was placed in a separate section, however, with statements by the artist and administration posted before the display. The artwork was modeled after racist jokes and included the offensive punch lines with a picture of a Jewish person on one and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. portrayed on the other. During Wednesday's opening, Jones was approached by many concerned students about his work. An informal discussion developed as students voiced their criticisms as well as praise for the artist. Jones called the dialogue "one of the most important moments in my life," during which, he explained that his inspiration for the work originated from racist jokes. "The racism I have heard and seen in my life is infuriating News I said Jones. Zakiera Millner told Jones He spoke of his experience that she understood and respectas a "learning process" with his ed that message that he was trymain goal being to "create diaing to convey, but felt he was logue" and shed light on the speaking to the wrong audience. force of racism he believed is "I don't think you've still present in America. reached the people that needed Referencing a quote by to see that message," Millner Martin Luther King Jr., where said.

Chris Denmark was another student that approved of Jones' work. He said that he thought the work was "really good" and that individuals that were offended had not grasped the purpose of the artwork. Others disagreed strongly, however, and did not believe that Jones had achieved his proposed goal of exposing and battling racists' ideas.

March 1, 2006 lhueagleye.com A2 Board discusses Evergreen taxes Q & A session witA: Emily Carey Staff Reporter The Lock Haven University Foundation board met on Feb. 22, to decide what to do now that it has lost its appeal to have Evergreen Commons declared Assistant Professor Rick Lilla electronic resources, promoting the ones we have and looking at possible new electronic resources that we can add to our collection. tax-exempt. The situation began last June when the Clinton County commissioners decided that the apartment complex, which is owned by the University Foundation, could not be classified as tax-exempt because it did not meet all of the criteria. At the end of January. Clinton County President Judge Richard Saxton upheld the ruling made by the commissioners. This meant that Evergreen Commons will have to pay more than $209,000 in yearly taxes to local taxing bodies. According to an article in The Evergreen Express, Commons has a 2005 tax liability to Clinton County of $51,716. to Keystone Central School District of $118.240.66. and to the city ofLock Haven of Erin: Lilla: I've been here for 13 years and before that 1 was in New Hampshire at Plymouth State College for five years.

Foundation University President Jerry Updcgraff said the foundation is "very disappointed" by the ruling, but it does not know what it will do next. The case would appear in the state Superior Court if the foundation decides to appeal Saxton's decision. There arc five criteria that need to be met for an establishment to be considered taxexempt. Saxton said that Evergreen Commons does exist free of profit motive and relieves the government of some of its burden. The three criteria thai Evergreen Commons did not meet were to advance a charitable purpose, to benefit a substantial class of persons who arc legitimate subjects of charity and to donate a substantial portion ofits services.

A3 lhueagleye.com March I, 2006 space may cause the relocation of science department Gender gap in video gaming explained Insufficent Sara Corecki Cornell Daily Sun (Cornell U.) - ITHACA, N.Y. Prof. John Sherry, communications. Michigan State University, discussed possible reasons why males and females tend to gravitate towards different genres of games. "I told you I was going to have something more sexy than violence," Sherry said. As a member of the video game-ignorant. 35-and-0ver category, Sherry tried to think of an educational use for video games. However, he soon found that it would be difficult to create an educational game that would appeal to both sexes equally. While there are exceptions, females tend to prefer puzzle games such at Tetris. quiz games and video games that arc modeled after classic board games Males prefer sports, fighter, action and shooter games. Both genders enjoy simulation games such as The Sims, massive multiplayer online games like Hvcrquest or World of Warcraft and racing games. Males tend to play video games longer than females, playing about 6S minutes a day and 7.6 hours a week compared to females' 53 minutes a day and 7.4 hours a week. However, in self-reports, females reported playing video games less than males even when play time was the same. Females also perceive that they don't play v ideo games as well as males. The gaming industry often ignores the problems that arise from gender differences. They make enough profit off of stereotypical males' games that they do not have to gear games towards females. The gaming industry also suggested two other possibilities: To design different games for different populations, or to make everyone play female games. "My preference is to figure out what's going on here. Why do males and females like different games?" Sherry asked. There are several proposed causes for the differences in game play between genders. Some believe that differences arc the result of environmental influences. They say that males are encouraged to play with computers more than females are. Others argue that females don't play games because many don't have female characters or themes. However, the addition ofa female protagonist does not significantly increase the number of females who play a game. It is possible to see trends in the way males and females play. Males are directly competitive and tend to play games that have clear goals, females arc generally more focused on fair turn-taking and don't assign each other specific tasks. The games that each gender prefers directly parallel these early-age trends. Sherry explained that "boys and girls are different." Biologically, men use some pails of their brain more than women do and vice versa. Different hormones might even have an effect on the types of games preferred by each sex. He conducted a study that compared cognitive skills to video game play. Women are generally better at verbal fluency, object location memory and color memory. "Their brains arc highly tuned to detail. Male brains tend to miss detail." Sherry said. Those male brains, however, are better at processing 3D rotation, targeting, and discmbedding, or the ability to spot patterns within patterns. These f\/[jfnr> with H>trMtribution of skills in which men tend to excel are often the basic principles behind video games. In his study. Sherry wanted to see if individual differences in cognitive skills and predicted game scores outweigh gender differences. He tested 3D rotation, targeting, verbal fluency and object location memory. "It's neat how they were stripping away factors until they came down to the cognitive skills involved," said Erica Olsen, one of the event's attendees. to Sherry's According results, cognitive skills were most important for verbal fluency and object memory location. However, the most important factor for 3D rotation was the amount of exposure subjects have had to video games. Gender was the most influential factor for targeting accuracy. "I like that he didn't get the results he wanted, and told us about it." Olsen said. Tonglin Xu grad said, "I'm interested in how [his findings] could be applied in creating future software." Once enough information is gathered to design a game that will appeal to both sexes, Sherry hopes that fun. educational video games will be developed which will greatly enhance learning. "[Video games] allow you to be engaged in a world where variables are coming at you from all different directions," Sherry said. Because video games allow multiple things to happen at the same time, they would be ideal for explaining the complex interconnectivity of biological concepts.

Whether or not the entirety of the science department will be moving is still up in the air. but it is known that all the professors' offices will be moved permanently. "We're not sure if we're going to move everything. We are sure, however, that all the science-related non-major classes will be moved. If space is too limited, we may have to keep the general science courses here at the main campus, such as a seminar," said science Worries for students may include the time needed to travel back and forth between the main campus and the east campus, although it is located only a mile away. The administration has assured that the student schedules will be adjusted to satisfy the need of extra time. Another reason the plans are still far into the future is the fact that landscaping needs to be done at the new facility. "We need natural walkways and a connection to the main campus. We also need the proximity for parking lots, as there arc none down there, and pulloffs for vehicles such as the shuttle-van." said Harnishfeger. If all plans carry through and the science department does make a move to the cast campus, a big question still on hand is what will be happening to the remaining Ulmer Hall. "If it is approved, then presumably design work could start no sooner than the release of the funding for the project," said Little. "As you can see, we are several years away from realizing this. The university will still have to determine how Ulmer Hall will be used after the construction, but as you can see that would be several years into the future." I 'Meet the prez' I Hf Have problems?

Professor Sharon Stringer of the Communication Media Department said that she was also unconvinced by Jones's artwork. She said that he "did not achieve what was intended according to what was displayed" as an explanation. Instead of bringing to light the topics that Jones declared he was exposing, the artwork "incited students and got students angry; it raised discussion of freedom of press" yet did not truly uncover racist problems in America. "The problem ofracism was not even addressed," said Stringer, "and that was my biggest problem." The miscommunication and misunderstanding that occurred among students after the artwork was unveiled, was a by- product of a lack of faculty intervention, according to Stringer. "The faculty has as much as responsibility as students." Stringer said in regard to the fact that such work should be properly clarified. The chair of the Art Department acknowledged the misunderstanding between students and artist. "Unfortunately, some read the works to be racist in themselves," Heffner said, adding. "I think the artist was sincere in his intention to expose racism." In the end. Jones stated that he believed his endeavor was a success, in that it created dialogue and opened communication about the subject. He hoped that he and others on campus would be able to "get closer together as human beings" and to cut the racial barriers that still separate people in America. A discussion concerning the work will be held in the PUB at 12:30 on Thursday, which will be one of many on-going dialogues about Jones' art and what it and its message means to the campus and community. 11 Well we have this page saved just for you to get the word out. 24 Hour Guarantee with the service* below: Virus Removal -- Spyware Removal Installation --Software Installation - Recovery of lost files Hardware 124 East Main Street Lock Haven, PA 17745 Pfc 57t-74t-29C6 Fax: 57*-74S-C818 TbOFree: HTD REAL ESTATE RENTALS, LLC and much more.1 131 East Main Street 570-748-3055 www.boniuessalonxom Lock Haven, PA 17745 Dutch Haven Restaurant « lock Haven casual dining restaurant serving fresh seafood, pasta, steaks, and homemade desserts. 20% discount for all LIU students!

Hurry to the baked goods aisle and get your super savings today. Attention K-Mart shoppers again, if you did not already realize this, you are not in KMart and this was just a cruel joke. Warning: The following may contain jokes. Yes, jokes. Believe it or not, I don't believe every single one of these. Let's make sure this is blatantly obvious to everyone. I'm going to make a cannibal joke later on, and guess what? That's right, I'm not a cannibal. Hard to believe, huh? And now it's time for some more comical considerations. To think that there is only life on Earth is just like thinking you've only eaten spit-covered fast food one time. Why kill two birds with one stone when you can kill two stoners with a penguin? Santa Claus knows what little kids are doing whilst they're sleeping and awake and exudes jolliness when they sit on his lap. I think that's all I have to say about that. - If cannibals go around eating people who are attached to life-support systems, then is 'eating vegetables' still a good thing? Please listen to me. If I offend anyone, then I don't want you to let your frustration bottle up so you freak out one day and harm a massive amount of people. Send in letters; we in the news business love controversy. Is it going to convince me to stop writing these? No, but hey, you might as well get your voice out there. There could be a huge uprising and you could exile me from my involvement in the paper. (But we all know that wouldn't happen because they'd have to rip down the countless amounts of statues of me scattered around campus.) Come back in four weeks to read some more comical considerations. Mike Porcenaluk Opinon Editor Daniella De Luca And so begins the PR is for Poor Relations month of the sloth At the start of every spring semester, many of us have one thing on our mind. How much longer until May? Although the end ofthe term is still the same number ofmonths away as it has always been (about five for those who are counting), we still get frustrated, overwhelmed and sometimes even reach the point ofrecklessness. As spring break approaches, we just want to focus on resting and recuperating from the never-ending winter that is typical of central Pennsylvania. The furthest thing from our minds is our next exam, the massiveresearch paper or ultimate final , project that is waiting for us. Flip flops have once again made their appearance as well as boys in shorts and t-shirts in 40 degree weather. In addition to the colds that we are going to catch, we'll also have to worry about allergies as the pollen fills the air and that whole outdoorsy theme happens once again. The pattern is really predictable. People will start skipping class to play Frisbee and sunbathe on the Russell lawn. The "beach" on the hilltop will become crowded with students seeking an escape from the ordinary humdrum of college. Students begin to get restless in class and a lot of yawning and sighing ensues. Homework will be a thing of the past, and the carefree attitude will emanate from everyone as assignments are turned in late or not at all. Many will wonder why their grades arc slipping, forgetting the fact that they don't do work anymore. Maybe it's time to start actually showing up to class instead of walking in 30 minutes late. Why show up at all if you're going to be habitually tardy? Grabbing that smoothie from Freshens has become a top priority instead of reading over the next chapter of your notes. A walk along the Susquehanna has suddenly become more appealing now that the pathway isn't covered by snow and ice and the water level isn't teeming over almost to the point offlooding the town. They say that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. I say it goes out more like a three-toed sloth. Slow, lazy and lacking motivation to get through the next few months of the year. March is definitely the month of the sloth. There are many types of spring fever, but my personal favorite is the type that has vacation anxiety. They are unable to take their vacation over spring break like everyone else. Instead they'll go somewhere the week before or the week after break claiming that they wanted to miss the rush and overcrowded beaches. I'm sorry but once the weather gets nice, people tend to venture outdoors. The spring break rush is unavoidable no matter when you go. You might as well go the same time as everyone else unless of course you are uncomfortable about the way you look in your bathing suit. In fact, the above paragraph doesn't really apply to anyone because they're probably already on their way to their vacation destination. I mean, what do they have to worry about besides maybe graduation? Oh, and saying you only need a "D" in the class to graduate is like saying you don't need a parachute to go skydiving. Maybe some people are happy with that "D," but not me. It kills your GPA, and if I'm not mistaken, in order to graduate you need at least a 2.0. Academic probation anyone? No thank you. To all those with spring fever, keep something in mind. We're all just as anxious to get out ofhere as you are. Do the rest of us a favor and just hang in there for a few more weeks. No one wants to trip over your body as you soak'up the sun on your beach towel on Russell lawn. Or, for that matter get smacked in the head with a bright, red Frisbee. To prove that I pay attention in my Propaganda and Public Opinion class, I would like to point out some missing information from the "LHU in the News" feature on the Lock Haven University website. There is no mention of the Student Juried Art Show in their list of happenings here at The Haven. They should not allow the controversy surrounding a few of the pieces in the show to keep it from being a legitimate event that has been featured in many local and area media. W hat about the other art students who also got their interesting and insightful work displayed as well? Shouldn't they at least get the slightest nod? Isn't there some passage in your Spin Bible that allows you to focus on other aspects of an event? A real cash crop w In 1 Take time to notice all of the cookie-cutter homes sprouting from the grazing fields of bought-out farmland in the countryside. This is surely the latest cash crop. And to think you don't have to milk them. . . A friend ofmine made me do a double-take when I noticed his pants rolled up like old-fashioned knickers. "It's tube-sock Tuesday!" He exclaimed. It certainly has a catchy name... it might just stick. This is a new column where I will comment on something that caught my eye this week.

I am writing in response to the "Lock Haven computer labs need to be consistent" article in the February 22nd Eagle Eye. Let me start by stating that hours posted on the LHU webpage for the computer labs for the Spring 2006 semester are correct. that computer labs were to remain open during all open hours posted whether a lab attendant was present or not, and this would continue throughout the semester unless problems occurred during unattended times. I am unaware of any labs being closed due to lack of an available attendant, nor was made aware that labs have been closed early due to law enforcement officers arriving earlier than scheduled. 1 have reaffirmed with Law Enforcement that labs are to remain open during all scheduled hours as labs are in place for the benefit of enhancing the student's full educational experience both in and out of the classroom. I appreciate the author's dedication to her education and agree that working within a computer lab does tend to increase ones dedication to the current task at hand, and apologize for any inconveniences she and others may have experienced. There are items that I disagree with; one being the clossemester prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

Fine by me. No problem. And what about the war in Iraq? Hey, you're doing a heck of a job, Brownie. No need to tweak a thing. And your blue buttondown shirt it's you. But torture is something else. When Americans start pulling people's fingernails out with pliers and poking lighted cigarettes into their palms, then we need to come back to basic values. Most people agree with this, and in a democracy that puts the torturers in a delicate position. They must make sure to destroy their emails and have subordinates who will take the fall. Because it is impossible to keep torture secret. It goes against the American grain and it eats at the conscience of even the most disciplined, and in the end the truth will come out. It is coming out now. According to the leaders of the bipartisan 9/11 Commission, our country is practically as vulnerable today as it was on 9/10. Our seaports arc wide open, our airspace is not secure except for the nation's capital, and little has been done about securing the nuclear bomb materials lying around in the world. They give the administration Ds and Fs in - most categories of defending against terrorist attack. Our adventure in Iraq, at a cost of trillions, has brought that country to the verge ofcivil war while earning us more enemies than ever before. And tax money earmarked for security is being dumped into pork barrel projects anywhere somebody wants their own SWAT team. Detonation of a nuclear bomb within our borders pick any big city is a real possibility, as much so now as five years ago. Meanwhile, many Democrats have conceded the very subject of security and themselves as positioned Guardians of Our Forests and Benefactors of Waifs and Owls, neglecting the most basic job of government, which is to defend this country. We might rather be comedians or daddies or tattoo artists or flamenco dancers, but we must attend to first things. The peaceful lagoon that is the White House is designed for the comfort of a vulnerable man. Perfectly understandable, but not what is needed now. The U.S. Constitution provides a simple ultimate way to hold him to account for war crimes and the failure to attend to the country's defense. Impeach him and let the Senate hear the evidence. - - Invasion of the pod people Dave Barry Knight Ridder Newspapers I imagine you will want to call me a courageous adventurer when I tell you how I recently encountered an actual live whale in person. In fact, I encountered a group of whales, which is called a "pod," or sometimes "a group of whales." F.ach winter, a large number, or "bunch," of North Pacific humpback whales swims all the way down to Maui from Alaska, a distance ofthousands ofmiles. Why do the whales make this difficult journey? For the same reason that athletes compete and actors perform and singers sing and politicians run for high office: They want to have sex. There is wild whale sex going on in the water around Maui, accompanied by an underwater soundtrack of cool, spacelike whale noises, including a song that the males sing to attract the females. The fascinating thing is, all the male humpback whales sing the same song: "My Way." No, I'm kidding. If they sang that, the females would deliberately beach themselves. But the male whales really do all sing the same song, and it changes from time to time, and all the males, all over the world, somehow learn the changes. (Maybe they're on the Internet.) Evidently, the song is effective, because a lot of mating goes on around Maui. Afterward, the male whale swims off in a carefree manner, leaving the female to be pregnant for a year, at the end of which she gives birth, all alone, without anesthetic, to a baby whale the size ofa Toyota Corolla. If, during the birth, the male happens to swim past, singing his song, "Mr. Stud of the Sea," 1 bet the female gives him a good whack with her 15foot pectoral fin. But the real threal to whales is whaling, which has endangered many whale species. This is why I say to young people: If you're ever in school or at the mall, and somebody in your peer group whispers to you, "Pssst... Wanna go whaling?" you should "just say no." Also, you should tell your congressperson that you favor the 30-day cooling-off period on the purchase of harpoons. Or you can support the Pacific Whale Foundation which is the non-profit outfit that operates the boat that took us whalewatching. 1 will admit that I was a teensy bit nervous about boating in whale-intensive waters, because of my memories of "Moby Dick," which is about Captain Ahab, played in the movie by Gregory Peck, who looks just like Abraham Lincoln but with fewer legs. Ahab wants to kill this giant white whale, played in the movie by Marlon Brando, but in the end Marlon tips over the entire boat and everybody dies except the narrator. (In high school, when I had to read "Moby Dick," which is 87 million pages long, I found myself wishing that the narrator had also died.) But we boldly set out on the Pacific Whale Foundation boat, along with about 15 other tourists (also known as a "waistpack" of tourists) and started looking for humpback whales. You would think they'd be easy to find, being as how they weigh up to 80.000 pounds-more than Edward Kennedy and Newt Gingrich combined-but for a while we didn't see anything. And then, after almost an hour, people started shouting, and I looked out where they were pointing, and 1 saw-this was one of the most unforgettable moments ofmy life-nothing. I'm one of those people who, when there's a major natural spectacle that everybody else can see, I can't see it. I would not have seen Halley's comet if it had passed through my living room. But finally, after several anxious minutes of scanning the ocean, 1 heard a loud whooshing noise and saw a big puff go shooting into the air, and suddenly there it was, in plain view: Old Faithful! No, it was a whale, and it was very large. And then there were more puffs and more whales, forming a four-whale pod consisting of a mother, her baby and two male "escort" whales who were trying to get the female's attention, probably sweet-talking her in whale language ("Are those barnacles new? They look terrific!"). The whales swam slowly, gracefully, past our boat for several minutes, surfacing, puffing, diving, surfacing. They came pretty close to us, but it was never scary; it was and here I will quote Herman Melville very cool. We could have watched the whales for hours, bui before long, we had to leave. For just as the humpbacks would soon be returning to the Alaskan feeding grounds where they eat up to a ton ofraw fish per day so did we have to get back to the hotel for dinner. We had sushi, but nowhere near a ton. At least not apiece. _ _ _ A8 March 1, 2006 lhueagleye.com ft a ppcn I PSECU presents scholarship to LHU PSECU . .1 .( 2BI * Artist shares opinio n on recent controversial art Sara Gerber Staff Reporter , Staff reporter Sara Gerber sat down with Robin Jones, artist of the recent controversial art work, and interviewed him about his work.

Now that the Olympics are officially over, the sports nation can now give their to basketball. With March Madness quickly approaching things are getting rather interesting. This past weekend, UConn got their revenge over Viilanova, beating them 89-75, lile highly seeded teams, Tennessee, Florida, and Michigan State, all got upset. However, the most intriguing story from this past weekend of basketball comes >m the NBA. On Sunday, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 105-' thout their star player, Kevin Garnett, playing the last quarter and a half. Midway through the third quarter, Garnett was charged with an offensive foul ai is not pleased. Out of frustration, he tossed the ball and it accidentally hit a man 3 face who was sitting in the front row. He was immediately rejected, although he claimed he was justtrying to get a del game call. Before exiting the court, Garnett apologized to the fan. The reason I find this story so appealing is because of the reaction of this fan. The fan was a grown man, who was probably in his 40's, and he acted as if he wa: her an 80 year old grandmother or an infant. Garnett did not toss the ball hard at all, though the fan made it appear as if he ha< it got hit the head with a 95 mph fastball. By the look on his face, it seemed as i was traumatized or had just received a concussion. I do not know if he was just trying to get attention from the media and fans, or i was trying to act like he was hurt because he wanted to file a lawsuit, or if he jus tnted to make a bigger deal out of this than what it really was, but medical person I had to wheel him off the court on a gurney. What was that all about? 1 have seen little kids get hit in the face with a basketball thrown five times harde in that, and gotten nosebleeds, and did not act like as much of a pushover as this gu; After the game, it was identified the man was uninjured, and did not want to speak th media. Probably because he was so embarrassed by the childish way in which he reacted. Things like this happen from time to time. When you sit in the front row of a bastball game, there is always the chance the ball may come your way, or a player or 0 may accidentally run into the first few rows of stands going for a loose ball. 1 understand if the guy was a little upset or shocked, but to take it to the degree he i was ridiculous. I am glad that the Minnesota fans booed him as he got carried backstage like a helpis victim. Garnett made an obvious mistake. The ball was not tossed hard at all and was tely not intended to go into the stands. Garnett is a class-act and they should realize this when the league discusses his But on the other hand, this fan needs to be suspended from ever attending a spoi I event again. :'.

If you liked the first and second movie you will like this one, but if you did not like the first two then don't waste your time with The plot is the very much the same and even if you missed the first two movies you could still go see this one worry-free thanks to the recap of "death's design." What will happen to the students is the onlyreal connection with the series of movies. I am a fan of the first two movies and l liked being able to guess the next thing that would occur but if that's not your style, you might want to spend your money on something else. The beginning of the movie is intense for theme park goers or even more intense for those already scared of them. This part of the movie will make you think twice before going on a roller coaster. This movie incorporates a lot of modern things that older students would do which attributes to its freak-out factor. The way that people start to die is more than a freak accident. You may even think twice before you step in a tanning salon. Who would have thought that besides being bad for your diet going through the drivethru could cost you your life? Team sport players, did you think that working out could kill you? I'm also sure you have heard about things going wrong during firework displays. Isn't the white horse in movies supposed to save the day? Either way all of these things are just a taste of what you never think about happening during these daily activities. What would you do if you knew you were in line to die? If death can skip you but it will eventually come back around, then would you run from death your whole life? Is it worth trying to have death skip if it always returns? The end of the movie looks as if there will be a fourth movie. Some may say that this is getting old. It's a movie with the saine plot, but only with different characters dying in different situations. "Final Destination 3" is like detective work and it's not the same exact situations so it leaves you in suspense. of this tugboat to pull the whole album along, this may help to explain why the band may not captivate many audiences in the near future. The sporadic arrangements are catchy until the electronic back beats begin to overshadow the rest of the instrumental layout. As is popular for many artists today, reasons why still unknown to most. Claret's voice sounds as if she were screaming through a megaphone at times. Rather than grabbing attention, like most at the helm ofa megaphone do. Claret nags at the eardrums inflicting an uneasy feeling. Pedro Yanowitz tactfully meanders about with his bass, creating fairly enjoyable rumblings, but his backup vocals add nothing to the overall sound. Even though the band may not see any mainstream success, there is the possibility of them being featured on one of the many angst ridden teen melodrama soundtracks that are annoyingly popular today.

Image Database Safe Zone Network brings students and faculty together compassion. Staff Reporter The Gay-Straight Alliance has announced the formation of the Safe Zone Network, a system that brings faculty and stall" together with students of the alliance. The network also includes several departments on campus, "allies", including or Community Service, Sports Information, Performing Arts, Economics, Communications Political Philosophy, and Science, Health Sciences. Biology. Health Sciences, and Psychology, History, Education. to Janelle According Walters, president of the GSA, the ally network was formed so students could go outside of their peer group to find support. "I want to be sure that the definition ofan ally is based on understanding, education, awareness, and the support of the Lock Haven University Gay-Straight Alliance," said Walters, who is in her second semester as president. "Faculty allies are important to the student body because they show the students that there is safety and support on campus not only among their peers, but by the faculty and staff that some of us admire and look to for guidance." Dr. Erin Kennedy, a psychology professor at Lock Haven, echoes Walter's comments. "The needs of students have always been of the greatest importance to mc," said Kennedy. "Should a student be struggling with their own sexual identity, it can make dealing with the rigors of college more difficult. I want to show my support for those students, as well as my solidarity with stu- dents who are out and proud." Having support from faculty can be a weight offof some student's minds who may feel trapped by not having an adult to talk to. Dr. Howard Congdon, a Communications and Philosophy professor, says that talking to an adult is more helpful than talking to a peer because of the judgments that peers can pass onto one another. "It's about basic fairness. I'm weary of self-righteous demagogues making ignorant judgments about matters they don't understand." Congdon also points out that passing judgment on people before getting to know them is not the way to be. "It's a big, wide, wonderful, mysterious, and diverse world out there. Get to know it, and learn to appreciate it," said Congdon. B7 March 1, 2006 IMy Feature This Comedians entertain with own style South Carolina. She still resides there and performs at many nightclubs and venues around the city. Donohuc, another comedian that hit the stage, joked about being Irish-Italian and living in New York City. He cites George Carlin and Andrew Dice Clay as his influences. His comedy might have been deemed offensive by some, but left many attendees laughing or just watching in awe. He made total use ofall of the stage with a high level of energy. Eric Rapper-comedian "Smooth-E" Schwartz emerged from the curtain rapping and dancing. He even went as far as running to the back of the auditorium. Schwartz gained the attention and adoration of the audience which was obvious by their clapping and yelling. Leona Livingston Staff Reporter Clara Bijl, Denis Donohue and Eric Schwartz donned the stage with their comedic talents at Price Auditorium on Saturday. Bijl acted as the MC for the night. Her shy demeanor and mocking behavior provided laughs from the audience throughout the show. She incorporated the audience into her jokes by leading her singled-out audience member, to say funny things. Bijl was born and raised in France but attended college in South Carolina. Her move to the U.S. gave her an American accent and helped her to develop skills in the language. Bijl eventually moved to New York City after living in He did a few impressions such as Kip from "Napoleon Dynamite" and Gollum from "The Lord ofthe Rings" trilogy. "His Gollum impression was really good," said Kathryn Barr, a junior. Schwartz has two albums out with his most recent being the double album "Wimp Pimp," which you can find on his website suburbanhomeboy.com. His other album, Kosher Kuts, included the song "Hanukkah Hey Ya!" which was the number one requested song on "Dr. Demento's Legendary Program." Comedy Music "Kosher Kuts" is also available on his website. Schwartz left the audience with two important lessons to take with them.

I a^B March 1,2006 B8 Form er political scie nee professor stresses women leadership in lecture ■. in Eye Dr. Kimberly Adams talks about having women as role models and leaders in the community in the Hall of Flags on Monday. tant trait that a woman leader Melissa Trentadue should possess. Staff Reporter "Be knowledgeable, but not Walking into the Hall of Flags this past Monday afternoon, Dr. Kimberly Adams certainly struck the attention of eager students ready to listen to her speak on women's leadership in the United States. I Lock Haven student, junior, Crystal A. Lee invited Adams to Tcome to Lock Haven to speak • about leadership after attending •a Women's Leadership Institute ; this past summer. ; "My biggest motivation after ; attending the Institute was to ', form a goal and bring women into leadership roles. By bringing them into that role, women can better the world." Lee said, smiling gracefully. "Dr. Adams inspired me when I had her as a professor, and when I was at the institute, 1 thought ofher and her expertise that she has in this field." As Adams glanced around the room before she began her motivational speech, she made note of students who she has taught before, when she was a professor here over the past few years. "Our future depends on the leadership of women to help with decisions and to share the power between men and women," said Adams. Throughout her speech, Adam's main purpose was that women should feel confident in sharing power roles with men. To encourage women to become involved in leadership activities, Adams spoke about political issues, and the lack of women involved in the United States government. "Women have made a considerable amount of progress in Congress but they still have a long way to go," Adams said during her speech. To help motivate young women to become involved in leadership activities as they move on with their career, Adams offered her own personal advice to the audience. "First and foremost, believe in yourself and know your self worth. You need to abandon the fallacy that just because you are a woman you are different and less important. Being different does not mean you are less," Adams said. Adams also expressed that thinking for oneself and knowing key issues is also an impor- so knowledgeable that you can- hear people's wishes and desires. Make decisions that you believe in, and stick by them," Adams said. She also told the audience to abandon the cultural roles that women should only be placed in pink collar roles, meaning they should solely be caregivers. She mentioned that most importantly, women need to garner support from other women in order to succeed in leadership roles. Adams influenced women to stand up for themselves at all times and reminded women that they do not have to have a title as a leader in order to be one. "Stand up for yourself at work or even at the dinner table, write letters to congress and motivate other women to do the same." Adams said. She also emphasized the fact that women need to have a role model in order to be a successful leader. However, the leader doesn't have to be someone in the spotlight; it can be a professor, mother or mentor. "Women can find role models through life experience, by being around individuals who are leaders. The institute of higher learning, such as different universities, is a great place to find a role model," Adams said. "Identify yourself with one role model and learn from that person." Adams is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, and is also a Commonwealth Speaker for the Pennsylvania Humanities not Adams's areas of teaching include American national government, women and politics, race and ethnicity in American politics, constitutional law and Congress and the Presidency. Adams is a long time political activist and youth leader. She worked as an intern in Capitol Hill in two Congressional offices in the mid 1990's. "Dr. Adams is such a wonderful mentor to have and someone so great to look up to," junior Jenny Charney said. "Just listening to her speech and knowing the things she has done in the past makes her such an inspirational woman for all individuals to admire." Despite controversy, art show goes on Sara Gerber Staff Reporter Despite the controversy surrounding two specific works of art, the Juried Student Art Show last Wednesday night went on as planned. The works were judged by three professional artists, Mike Scbcr, Justin Chirico and Vebjorn Sand. Seber works in printmaking, ceramics and photography. He is a native of Lock Haven and currently lives in Philadelphia. Chirico is a professional painter, living in New York City. ' Wmm mm He attended the Art Student League in New York City where John Sloan, who Sloan Fine Arts Building is named after, once taught and held the position of president. The third and final judge. Sand, is "considered one of Norway's most famous living artists." He's currently living in Manhattan, works with painting, architectural works and public art. "In the modern rational culture, a time of superficial entertainment overdose, it won't do any good to go into that world, lazy or with apathetic habits, or with only knowing how to exaggerate picture...I judged the works based on those I thought worked with integrity and patience and in my opinion that were submitted that had a "'Industry, Rust and Clouds" and deserve acknowledgement and sloppy presentation were not a web-page design by Adam respect," said Chirico about considered for the show.
