For many years, students
and faculty have been complaining about walking in and
out ofthe building and having
to walk through the hovering
smoke, a problem that is
caused by the overhang.
"I understand that there are
students that smoke but we
have to think about the health
hazard for the students and
faculty that do not smoke,"
said Vice President of student
affairs, Dr. Linda Koch.
Health is an important factor in this debate about what

willing to donate blood during the Halloween blood drive sponsored by the
American Red Cross. By the end of the day 137 pints were gathered.

Sara Gerber
Staff Reporter

Jason Auman who was one of
the afternoon volunteers.
It takes not only the time
of student volunteers to put on
a blood drive, but also the time
of the people of the American
Red Cross. With someone in
the U.S. needing blood every
two seconds according to the
Red Cross website, it's apparent how important it is for students to come together to
donate.
Karen Ranck, the director
ofthe blood drive, was pleased
to announce that 57 students
volunteered to give blood for
the first time ever during this
session. The number is a high
one, according to Ranck,

though not unusual for the setting.
"Usually at schools we get
a lot of first-timers," said
Ranck.
When the Red Cross
arrives to take the donations,
wide campus support is nothing abnormal.
"I think it's really great
how a whole college can come
together to support a good
cause," said Auman.
And without a doubt the
cause is a good one. According
the Red Cross, up to three
lives can be saved from one
person's generous donation.

The
Residence
Hall
Association Halloween blood
drive was a success on
Tuesday in the PUB, having
gathered 137 usable pints by
the end ofthe day.
RHA coordinator Wendy
Walsh was hoping for a very
large student turn out this year,
especially with the theme of
vampires on Halloween being
a motivator for students.
"I think not enough people
donate," said junior Courtney
Faust. "This is my sixth or
seventh time and I feel good
about it."
"This is my second time
here at school. I like doing it
because it's for a good cause,"

It

just
November, but it is never
too

early to start looking for

a summer internship.
In fact, according to
Hannah Thompson, a peer

career facilitator at Lock
Haven University's Career
Services Office, it may pay
off to begin this early.
"Sending out resumes
and cover letters now helps
the employer realize you
are serious about the particular internship opening,"
said Thompson.
Before searching online
and through advertisements
for an internship, all of
which you can do from the
Career Services Office in
Akeley 114, students should
decide what their career
objectives are and what
type of internship will fit
them the best.
The opportunity should
help identify your talents
and direct you toward an
appropriate career. The

internship should also help
you attain those vital practical and professional skills
you will need in the business world.
When students are ready
to start searching they
might stumble upon a road
block: where exactly do
they find an internship
opportunity?
But there are several
options to locating an
internship.
At the Career Services
Office there are internship
listings and their website

"Say there is a company
that interests you, but doesn't have an internship program. Think about what ydu

Thompson. "Let the company know what your goals

There were members ofthe

who was on the senate at the

one of them. She felt as if the

Dr. Dan Shaw, Qadesh's

at the first meeting with the

of the organization.
"I believe that the Qadesh

"There is nothing more freeing

OPIN ON
Political relativism common among students
Stephanie LaSota
Opinion Editor
When I sat down on my
sofa, notebook and pen in
hand, ready to take extensive
notes on Bill O'Reilly's visit
to the Oprah Winfrey show
on Friday, I expected to be
repulsed by his stringent
right-wing views and harsh
demeanor.
I was still mildly annoyed
by several of his comments,
but repulsion was not a feeling I experienced.
I found myself illequipped to write anything
negative about the man
regarding this particular television appearance.
In fact, I agree with him
on his views regarding polit-

ical relativism in America warrior? It really is possible

sions about where they stand
regarding political issues and
laws.
There is far too much
apathy existing in the United
States today.
I hate to say it, but I have
even become acquainted
with many politically and
socially apathetic college
students.
No one seems to care
enough about the world to

events and politics. What
ever happened to the idea of

instead of just a weekend politics, the environment,

law, etc.
Just pick up a newspaper.
Read a book. Read a lot of
books. Knowledge is power
and the more we know the
more likely we are to make
wise decisions.
O'Reilly spoke of a "middle-ground" when it comes
to key political issues.
He said that he hated the
word and that people needed
to stop vacillating between
two sides of an issue. He said
that people need to make a
decision.
I agree that people need
to decide where they stand
on issues. But, they will only
get to this decision if they
vigorously engage in the
world around them.
We don't need to wedge
ourselves beneath a political

party label. But we should

know how we feel about
environmental laws.
We should know how we
feel about the issue of abortion. We should know where
we stand on the war in Iraq
and on immigration laws.
If we do not know exactly how we feel, we should be
trying to find out everyday.
Our individual political
philosophies on different
issues may not seem like
they should belong to one in
the same person.
We may appear "left
wing" on one topic and completely "right wing" on
another. That is one reason
why assigning labels to people is a bad idea.
We are not cookie-cutter
mannequins. We are diverse

with an abundance
of ideas.
Like O'Reilly said to
Oprah on Friday, we need to
make our political decisions
based on what kind of country we would like to have.
We have to- fight for our
country and we must put passion into our beliefs. We cannot all stand by and expect
someone else to change the
world. We are the world. You
creatures

We must stop practicing
political relativism and start
making decisions based on
what we believe in.
There are too many people who sympathize with
issues but do not decide on
them. We must educate ourselves, find ourselves and be
ourselves.

Bentley's tray elimination decision needs support

In years past many hungry
Bentley patrons would load

the various lines and stack
them on orange trays that

dents as to why the trays had

been removed from their
lives. Outrage has occurred,
but from my vantage point the
system has worked.
People are eating what
they take and if they are still
hungry after one trip to the
food lines they may go and
get a second plate.
This is where the wannabe revolutionaries come in
with peace signs and outstretched fists ready to condemn any ruling made by the
people in power.
These revolutionaries can
be seen all over complaining
about the lack of trays, but
they don't really provide a
reason why.
One of the strangest
demographics involved in this
revolution is freshman. 1 suppose they are in the college
spirit and want to feel as
though they are part ofchang-

The problem I see with
this is that the freshmen at this
university have never experienced trays in Bentley. So
how do they know what they
are missing? This would be

They have even gone so

my senator, is sponsored by

I will concede to the fact
that the trays in Bentley were
moderately convenient. But
we have been tray free for
over two months and there has

standing in line twice or setting down a plate and then
getting a drink.

Reading The Eagle Eye
opinion section last week, I
noticed a letter from a faculty
member in regards to the hypnotist that performed on our
campus.
In the article, the writer
expressed a deep sense of dissatisfaction with the hypnotist
because he made one girl he
hypnotized to speak Chinese.
The writer called this type

of joking bad taste and on the
border of prejudice. I realize
that this type ofjoking is offensive to some,
I also agree that it was inappropriate for the girl to have
been manipulated into doing
this.
However, I would like to
say that hypothetically, if the
hypnotist would have had a
student hypnotized to act like
George W. Bush and make
offensive remarks tc
Republicans, the faculty

ber may not have written a letter to the editor stating
hypnotist was unpatriotic.
I find it very awe inducing
how liberals are able to admonish certain statements and yet

who is treated as a god on

grounds that any human being

At the height of the pope's
power he responded to the
Crusades in this exact way, by
giving the Crusades his blessing. This displays my point that
it is not the Christian values

As Americans we find our-

A poll was given by the
National Fatherhood Initiative
(NFI) and asked what the
leading causes of divorce
were and what the causes of
divorce were.
The answers are as follows: lack of commitment, too
much conflict, and arguing
and infidelity.
All of these issues could
be dealt with if both parties
had a strong desire to work at
their relationship. However,
just because these issues can
be dealt with does not mean
that they will be.
In a time where the reality
ofrelationships and the makebelieve are contradicting one
another, many people struggle
to make decisions of whether
or not to take the chance or
play it safe.
Will everything work out
or will they end up in the middle of a messy breakup? The
choice is left to you. Will you
be okay if you sitby and never
participate in life or will you
regret the choices you left
unmade?
Many of the movies and

books today represent the
"happily ever after" where
everything works out. That is
okay, but is it giving the public a false sense of hope?
I don't believe so because
even though it does not seem
like many relationships work
out there are still relationships
that do.
1 know that until every
relationship is broken up and
unfixable I will have hope that
"happily ever after" is out
there.
I do not mean the happily
ever after ofthe movies where
nothing ever goes wrong after
two people have found each
other and professed their love
for each other.
I mean the "happily ever
after" that mere mortals can
give and receive the riding
off into the proverbial sunset
where there are good times
and bad.
The ending where it is
okay to argue and it is okay to
disagree as long as both people in the relationship support
and love one another. For me,
that is the "happily ever after"
to the perfect story.

PSAC WEST CHAMPIONS
The LHU volleyball team clinches Championship with win over
Brandy Rissmiller
Sports Reporter
A month ago the women's
volleyball team lost their only
PSAC West game to California
University (Pa.). Tuesday
night was payback time, with
Lock Haven winning in fine
fashion, 3-0. The victory
allowed Lock Haven to clinch
the title of PSAC West
Champions.

Head Coach Tom Justice
thinks the victory was a magnificent team effort, saying
that it was the best the team
has ever played together.
"Emotionally, we were all
united in one purpose and
committed to winning," he
said. Kim Windstein believes
the Lady Eagles played great
against the Vulcans, calling it a
"grudge match."
"When we played them the
first time we weren't on top of
our game. This time we were
determined to show them what
we can do," explained the
freshman. "I think the memories of our last game gave us
so much motivation to come
out and just annihilate them."
Annihilation is just what
happened from the very beginning, surrendering only nine
points to California in the first
game. Also in the first game,
Li YiZhi tallied seven kills.
Lock Haven ended the first
game 30-9.

Lock

Haven

won

the

remaining games 30-16 and
30-28, respectively.
Li had an impressive night,
totaling her kills up to 16, a
.727 attack percentage. The
senior also had seven digs and
six block assists. Classmate
Maggie Borden recorded
seven digs, four kills and two
block assists before leaving
the third game with an injured
ankle.
The co-PS AC player ofthe
week last week, junior Inga
Kurgonaite, tallied 11 kills,
three service aces and one
assist.
Sophomore Stacey Borgia
recorded nine kills and freshman Fabiana Gomez had 38
assists on the night.
During their final regular
season match, Lock Haven
beat Indiana University (Pa.)
in three games, 30-14, 30-21
and 30-20.
Li recorded a team-high 14
kills and .600 attack percentage. The Ail-American also
had ten digs and seven blocks.
Windstein tallied seven
kills, hitting for .700.
Kurgonaite had eight kills, two
assists and two blocks. Borgia
added ten kills.
Windstein was happy
because all the Lady Eagles
were able to play during the
match. "We worked great as a
team and had a lot offun doing
it. We showed that it didn't
matter who was playing, that
we all can play the game."

The win against California
also clinched home court
advantage for the Lady Eagles

for Clarion's offense as Shane

With Clarion having to
stay in the air to try to catch
up, the Golden Eagles started
their drive on their own 30yard line. Quarterback Tyler
Huether completed two passes
for 25 yards, which put them
on the Haven's 32-yard line.
Huether managed to get
enough on a pass to get it to
his diving receiver Pierre
Odom in the end zone, which
cut Lock Haven's lead to 14-7
with just under seven minutes
to play.

Tyler
Huether's fourth down desperation pass, which sealed
the deal for the Bald Eagles as
they came out victorious 14-7
for their second win in a row.
"I think the main reason
that we were able to win was
because we rushed the ball
more than usual," said Coach
Klacik. "We also were able to
close out this game, which we
haven't been able to do in the
past, so that was a big factor
as well."
This victory for the Eagles

With a win over West

to the PSAC championship
game to challenge East
Stroudsburg on Sunday.

Men's Soccer

Despite the loss to ESU,
the team opened the PSAC
Tournament with a win this
past Wednesday against West
Chester. The game was round
1 of the semifinals, and the 21 win advanced Lock Haven
to the championship game.
Sophomore Paul Huckett
started the team off in the
16th minute by taking a pass
from teammate Andrew
Meehan and slipping it past
the Golden Rams' keeper.
Huckett's goal was the only
goal in the first half. After

West Chester came out determined. Freshman Bryan
Nugent set his team on the
scoreboard in the 52nd
minute with a goal. Lock
Haven retaliated soon after
with their game winning goal
from sophomore Leadopoe
Geain. Haven keeper Chad
Feerar snagged five out of
West Chester's seven shots
on goal and both midfielders

Corey McLaughlin
Daily Collegian (PSU)
Ed DeChellis has spent the
past three years trying to convince Penn State fans that a
sport played with a round,
orange ball can be as appealing as one that uses a pointed,
brown one.
Any progress the Penn
State men's basketball head
coach has made is due, in
part, to the success he has
found with freshmen. The
current roster includes Geary
Claxton, a 2004-05 Big Ten
All-Freshman, and Jamelle
Cornley, last season's Big Ten
Freshman of the Year.
While a kid by the name
of Greg Oden from Ohio State

minutes when Penn State
opens its preseason against
Edinboro tomorrow night at
the Bryce Jordan Center.
Jones is one of four players competing for the starting
center job. He is also practicing at power forward, the spot
occupied by Cornley. Jones,
from Philadelphia, was an
All-City selection his senior
year at Abington Friends.
Jackson is also practicing
at power forward. He said the
Penn State coaches want him
to get that position down first,
but eventually hope to move
him to small forward, the
position currently held by
Claxton. Jackson is a twotime first-team All-State player from Kennedy Catholic,

north of Pittsburgh, and led
his team to the PIAA Class A
title game in 2005.
Both say they are willing
to do whatever the coaches
tell them at this point in an
effort to get on the court, and
are getting used to practicing
daily against larger, college
players.
DeChellis has liked what
he's seen so far. During the
first weeks of fall practices,
he said the freshmen have
been especially responsive to
instruction and determined in
drills.
"They mix it up with

Jackson and Jones are
Pennsylvanians and that certainly helped during the
recruiting process, DeChellis
said, but so also did the recent
improvement of the program.
Both freshmen had opportunities to go to other notable basketball schools.
"They felt like they could
come in and help and be part
of something," DeChellis
said. "That's what we tried to
sell the kids, 'Come in and try
to do something special, and
be part ofa building program.'
They're both guys that wanted
to do that."

Guest Writer

Students had the opportunity to reunite with their
families for a day of activities, food, events and fun on
October 28, 2006. Lock
Haven University planned a
myriad of things to do for
this year's installment of
Family Day, all of which
were enjoyable for students,
parents, and even siblings.
The day began with residence receptions, which
included a warm welcome to
families. Beverages and an
assortment of casual breakfast foods were offered to
the families who made the
trip to Lock Haven to visit.
Some families were fortunate enough to live close by.
while others had to make

trips that lasted a few hours.
"We had to get moving at
6 a.m. so that we could beat
the traffic on 1-80," said
Mary Louise Scott. "Every
time we come up here we've
got to leave well in advance
because it seems like there's
always traffic or construction holding us up."
After that, families and
students were able to do
(heir own thing, such as
roaming about the campus,
exploring downtown Lock
Haven or checking out the
various events scheduled for
the day.
The bookstore in the
Parsons Union Building
(PUB) was open for an
extended amount of time,
allowing people to peruse
the endless supply of sweatshirts, car stickers and mugs.

handful of seniors
majoring in athletic training
set up a white tent to promote
athletic training and to educate the campus as to what the
trainers do everyday and what
they are capable of performing in front of Russell Hall
last Thursday
The seniors were from Dr.
Yvette Ingram's Current
Issues in Athletic Training
class, which focuses the trainers on developing the skills
needed to get a job as an athletic trainer.
Originally, the students
were assigned individual
projects that promoted and
displayed athletic training,
but instead, the class decided
to merge their single projects
together and exhibit them in
one event. The project then
became more of an athletic

processes. Students were able
to see much of the various
trainei equipment like wrapping tape and leg splints, and
many were given demonstrations showing how each is
applied and used.
Students began to pack
around the demonstration
area, not to mention the table
with the free snacks and cider,
and the seniors were not hesitant to pick some students
from the crowd and slap a leg
brace on them.
The fair ran from 9 a.m. to

wanted a little more information about the students who
watch over them.
"A lot of athletes don't

do," said Amanda Cox, the
secretary of the Athletic
Training Club and the senior
who ran the fair. However,
the current issues class hoped
to change that.
Organizers of the fair also
desired to make the distinction between athletic trainers
and personal trainers.
"People get the two trainers confused," said Cox. She
brought up the issue of Barry
Bonds, who was accused of
being given anabolic steroids
from personal trainers and
how the public might give
athletic trainers a bad wrap

attendee was nearly driven to
hysterics by her silence and
empty glare.
The maids led me to an
unlit elevator, where I was
introduced to Phil, the dimwitted, psychologically-damaged elevator operator. As

the elevator was bombarded
with mysterious thuds, we
ascended to the third floor,
stopping along the way to
pick up the devious landlord.
The first room that we
toured was the apartment's
kitchen. Though it came
equipped with a refrigerator
and oven, the benefits of
modern appliances were offset by the cannibalistic
blood-feast taking place on
the table.
I was then led into a living room where two insane,
grotesque figures asked me
to watch TV with them. I
passed, and continued into
the aforementioned room in
which an apparently dead
prostitute lay handcuffed to a
bed. A butchered businessman was sprawled out on the
floor next to her.
Just as I was leaving the
room, the woman sat up and
screamed and an instant later
a corpse fell out of a nearby
armoire. The rapid succession of morbid stimuli was
enough to bend my iron
nerves and cause me to jump.

The strength of the
Haunted Studio was its continuity. Haunted houses tend to
consist of a series of unrelated, interchangeable scenes,
The University Player's
Haunted Studio was more
fluid. While being led from
room to room, I felt as
though I were part of an
interactive play. Dennis
Berfield, who designed and
directed the performance,
reinforced this notion.
"(The Haunted Studio)
was handled much like an
actual production," he said.
The cast of the Haunted
Studio, which included many
first-time actors, brought the
creep show to life with spirited performances. I particularly enjoyed those of Katie

Woodring and Shawn Ergler.
Woodring played the part
of Phil, the wretched elevator
operator, while Ergler portrayed the crafty, underhanded landlord. Both actors
approached their characters
with a sense of humor, but
successfully created an eerie,
unsettling feeling as well.
This carried throughout
the production. I reveled in
the studio's morose, gruesome themes, but appreciated
the absurdity with which they
were presented. Audience
reaction seemed to reflect
this sentiment,
"Audience reaction has
been at one end of the spectrum or the other," Berfield
said, "some people go in and

and some people
come out laughing."
Attending the University
Player's Haunted Studio on a
cold, stormy night proved an
appropriate and enjoyable
Halloween-weekend outing.
Although those poor souls
who missed it will have to
wait another year to enjoy the
Haunted Studio, they can
take solace in Berfield's
assurance that the quality of
the production is continually
improving.
"Every year it's been getting bigger and better," he
said.
