The ad hoc power that allows an SCC president to form such a committee with thc senate's approval has not been utilized within the last four years, according to Hackney. The purpose of such a decision is to ensure that additions can be made to the committees when a president feels that there is something missing. "In this case, I feel the lighting around campus is one ofthe issues posing a challenge to keep this campus safe," Hackney said. Linda Koch, vice president of student affairs suggested that this committee meet with the campus Safety Committee, citing it as a "great opportunity" for the students to get more involved with the evolution of safety on campus, to which Hackney agreed. "I hope to get the utmost cooperation with Sullivan Hall and also the utmost effort and time on behalf of the Senators who beckoned to the call of service for their constituents," Hackney said. He also added that the names of thc chairpersons and members of this committee will be released at a later date. Another safety issue that the new administration mentioned during the course of the evening was the distribution of rape whistles for women on campus. "The rape whistles were originally not on our administration's agenda for the year. While campaigning last year Safe Haven brought our attention to rape whistles and women's safety," said Hackney. Further discussion of the idea for whistles is scheduled for a meeting next Tuesday. More information concerning this issue can be located through contact with the Wellness Center in Wooldridge Hall. Hackney also updated the Senate about his pursuit of PUB renovations including improvements to carpeting, the computer lab, SCC Office and more.

Located in Akeley 114, Career Services aids all students, regardless of graduation year. Open at 8 a.m. every weekday, students have access to the Career Library and website. Information is available relating majors to future careers and students can conduct searches for internship and summer job listings. Students can take advantage ofindividual counseling, resume and cover letter critiques and mock interviews, among various other opportunities. It is not uncommon for students to change their declared majors. "After experiencing different classes and meeting new people, students tend to change their minds. A survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers reports that 60 percent of students change their majors before graduation." said Joan Welker. director of Career Services. Students, especially freshmen and sophomores, do not always know what field they would like to major in. Career Services offers online programs to guide students to this important decision. In FOCUS, an interactive career planning program, a student assesses their personal attributes and the program searches its career and occupational information database to help thc students identify occupations that match their personal characteristics. Peer Career Facilitator Autumn Riley said that right now internship information and searches arc thc most popular request among students. "Since school started I've had three people searching for internships," said Riley. Career Services has five Peer Career Facilitators. They provide career information to students and refer students to Welker. The Peers also assist with resume and cover letter critiques, among other responsibilities. Joining Riley as Peer Career Facilitators are Katy Catherman. Jessica Lavender, Danielle Olivieri and Hannah Thompson. New to the Career Services Library are 'America's Top 101 Jobs for College Graduates', 'Gallery of Best Resumes', 'The Internship Bible' and 'Cash for Graduate School'.

The anti-war rally, coordinated International by ANSWER, an activist group formed after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, took place from a stage 300 yards behind the White House. The speeches were followed by a march through the surrounding streets and ended in front of the White House. Caneisha Mills. an ANSWER spokeswoman, said she is trying to convey the message that "9/11 was manipulated by the Bush administration to start the war." However, she said her organization's goal is not to change the administration's mind but "to create change within the nation." More than 50 news organizations including Fox News and C-Span were at thc event Saturday to cover speakers such as the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.). former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark and British Parliament member George Galloway. Jackson began his speech by acknowledging that there are times when war is appropriate, but that this time, the Bush administration has gotten it wrong.

"We need a people's movement to end this war. The media and our friends in Congress aren't doing their jobs, and Bush certainly isn't doing his job," she said before turning to the White House and shouting, "We mean business George Bush." Most demonstrators had homemade signs featuring a number of slogans such as "Honk to impeach," "No blood for oil," "Make coherent sentences, not war," and "Wake up America and smell the treason." Protesters initiated chants throughout the rally and shouted phrases such as "No more war" People at the protest donned a variety of costumes including a group dressed as Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice dressed in orange jumpsuits and shackles. Mills said that she also expected a large number of student protesters. GW freshman Laura Gross, a member of thc College Democrats, attended Saturday's antiwar protest and thought that it was a great outlet for different groups to come together for a common cause.

The National Lawyer's Guild dispatched hundreds of legal observers to the mass demonstrations. Easily visible in their bright yellow hats, the legal observers are on hand at many demonstrations to ensure that police or protesters do not violate peoples' civil liberties. Due to the volume of the antiwar protest, the Guild mobilized its attorneys from all over the country but recorded no police misconduct or violence throughout the day. Metropolitan Police Officer Quintin Petersoh, of the department's Public Information Office, said the both the antiwar protest and IMF demonstrations went smoothly. Peterson said there were three arrests: two for destruction of property and one for disorderly conduct, all at 3:30 p.m. during the antiwar protest along 10th Street. He said, "The events were peaceful for being such a large population of demonstrators." Courtesy of U-WIRE Services Online Vote for the next Homeco ming King and Qu —hi September 28, 2005 tudent interns at Jennifer Charney Guest Writer Ever since she was a little girl, LHU student Alice Rosenthal had dreamt ofbecoming a news anchor; particularly for NBC. Lucky for her, fate had the same plan in mind. Her junior year in high school she covered a nightly news story when NBC producers were in the area. They met with her and strongly encouraged her to apply for one oftheir internship positions within thc next few years. This past summer she got a broadcasting internship at thc NBC Studios in New York City for six weeks. Her daily routine varied from running scripts and doing office work, to actually going on location or sitting with editors critiquing a particular piece. "They really got all the interns involved, and it was nice to know they were genuinely interested in our feedback" said Rosenthal. Being one of seven interns, some coming from Ivy League schools such as Harvard & Stanford, you'd think that a student from Lock Haven would feel a little intimidated, but not Alice. "The competitiveness in the office was unbelievable, but between the interns it was barely there. It didn't really matter since we were all on the same level, no matter what school we came from" she said. Being the eager learner that she is, Rosenthal didn't seem to mind the 50-plus hour work weeks or the two hour commute every day into the city from her New Jersey residence. Through her internship she gotto meet people such as Brian Williams. Tom Brokaw, and Campbell Brown. Giving her a break from some tedious paperwork, her usual schedule changed from the usual Monday through Friday scene, to a Wednesday through Sunday schedule. "I didn't mind working on the weekends because I was the only intern there. Thc cast and crew were much more relaxed and I got a lot of one on one attention, giving me a chance for some major hands-on experience" said Rosenthal. Even though one would think of New York City as bright lights, being an anchor isn't always fun and games. Stress and panic were just a few ofthe emotions Rosenthal felt when NBC would begin their coverage on major national or worldwide events. "It was amazing to see the final product and how everything comes together to make it seem effortless, when maybe 20 minutes ago, there wasn't even a story," she said. Rosenthal got to see how professionals handle the pressure and pick up a few pointers on how to make it all look easy. "I knew I wanted to do broadcast journalism, and this experience helped me narrow down thc field, as well as make my decision more permanent," said Rosenthal Not many students from such a small university get the opportunity to work in a major city, with such a prestigious company. Rosenthal felt privileged and took the opportunity to absorb information while taking in one of the best experiences of her college career. "The most beneficial thing was the first-hand observation of the incredible amount of talent thc cast and crew had, and by making me feel so involved in the process made me more comfortable in the field," said Rosenthal.

Writing it also meant that I was finally able to put to practical use the absurd rituals and quirks of my own high school," Holterman said.

Students try to expose parents to alternate side of Lock Haven living Dear Editor: On Saturday, September 24, 2005 a student and community protest over the actions of the LHU Foundation with its Evergreen Commons apartment complex was held on campus. It was very interesting to watch thc actions of thc Admissions Office and its tour guides on that day. Tour guides were instructed not to go near Akeley Hall where thc protest was held even though Akeley Hall was on the tour guide list of places to walk by and talk about. Those few tours that came near Akeley were subjected to the almost indescribably, horrible fate ofhaving parents asked if they wanted to have one more piece of paper with facts about LHU. The facts simply told prospective students the truth about LHU and that apparently was too much for the Admissions Office to handle. For goodness sake they might have to really tell students that we have parking problems, overcrowded classrooms, long lines at Bentley, outrageously high prices at Evergreen Commons, and lotteries to decide who gets to stay on campus after 30 credits. As a matter of fact, the students and myself toldany parent and potential Student who was approached to come to LHU because it was a good experience, but to also understand that everything was not Camelot. We just wanted those students to come to LHU and not be surprised by the truth when they did come. Some tour guides did 180 degree turns, walked over grassy areas, and redirected their tour groups away from us to avoid our potentially lethal sheet of paper. We never once spoke negatively about LHU to parents. We simply gave them the fact sheet and encouraged them to come to LHU, albeit better informed. For the life of me 1 do not understand why the truth is such a terrible thing in the mind of Stephen Lee, our Admissions Director, that he would instruct his tour guides to avoid it like the plague. And as long as we are talking about the truth, the protest also wanted students to know that over $200,000+ dollars is being made each year at Evergreen Commons and some, if not a large chunk, of it is being directed to building thc new Alumni Center on campus. Gee, as an alumnus of LHU, I always thought that the Alumni Center was being paid for by appreciative contributions ofour alumni. I guess Jerry Updegraff has a new economic model that puts some of that burden secretly on current students and community tax payers. As a student 1 think you have a right to know why you are being overcharged to live in Evergreen Commons by S600$ 1000 every year. Mr. Updegraff says the LHU Foundation is a non-profit organization that is here to give students affordable housing and scholarships. Well here's a challenge Mr. Updegraff. If you are interested in those areas, charge your $500 a month rent and then deduct all bond expenses to pay for Evergreen Commons. Then take the excess and rebate it back to the students who paid it in the form of scholarships. You are then truly non-profit, truly interested in providing affordable housing for students. truly providing scholarships, and.amazingly. neither you nor the students are out any pocket money. On the other hand you want the money to help build an Alumni Center, well, maybe-just maybe- students ought to know that is your true intention. This is also a challenge to all you students. Why not start by asking Mr. Updegraff and the Foundation to tell you where the from money Evergreen Commons goes. In fact, if Mr. Updegraff is willing, 1 challenge him to a debate about the actions of thc foundation and its involvement with Evergreen Commons. Come on Jerry, if you are so confident of the goodness ofthe actions at foundation's let's talk Evergreen Commons about it publicly without thc ability to spin thc actions. If this debate ever happens I rantee vou that studcntsw.il ■ get a real education from it. 1 hope Jerry and 1 hear from you all very soon. Sincerely, Michael "Max" McGee [— Below is a copy ofthe paper that was handed to parents on Saturday, 9/24/05. 1 Facts -KNOWLEDGE IS TRUTH First and foremost we want you as parents to understand that we in no way suggesting that your son or daughter not come to IU. We are at LHU and like it. However, we want you to know the facts so that you can make your decisions based on those 1- LHU is growing very rapidly with its enrollment. In the 2000 we had 4,000 students. In the year 2004 we had ' nts. In the year 2008 we arc projected to have 6,000 students. ities have not kept up with the growth. 2- Parking is scarce, class sizes are larger (currently 25 stuis the average class size), cafeteria lines arc longcr, and infrastructure has not kept up with increased enrollment, Faculty studies estimate LHU would have to hire 29 more faculty members immediately to have the same faculty-student ratio as in the year 2000. Fact 3-Offcampus housing has been drastically affected by enrollment'increases. Your son or daughter is only guaranteed to live on campus for approximately the first year (30+ credits). After that a lottery decides who stays on campus and who has to move offcampus. If you are forced offcampus your choices are limited, Fact 4-The off-campus housing market is very tight and because of the increasing demand it is becoming more expensive. The most expensive housing option is thc Foundation built Evergreen Commons, It houses 400 students and rents for $500 a month per student or nearly $6,000 a year just to have a roof over your , head. AMtM I ' Houses have been bought cheaper by parents in Lock Haven students. Fact 5-Evergreen Commons is managed by a private management company, Allen and O'Hara. The university code ofconduct does not apply there, alcohol is permitted, university police do not patrol it, and drugs and alcohol have been an on-going concern there, Fact6- The foundation had and still could opt to have the university manage the complex, but have decided it is cheaper to use private managers to run it, maintain it, and clean it. This means that instead of having 7-8 full-time professionals with masters degrees in Student Personnel work available for emergencies during the evenings, most times you will find student staff and Lock Haven city police in emergency situations because they have only 1 time residence manager for the complex, Fact 7-You cannot see a lease to Evergreen Commons without first paying $25 non-refundable application fee. We believe this is absolutely unacceptable. Fact 8- The foundation is making a profit of approximately $250,000 a year on the complex. We believe this is money that students should not have to pay if the foundation is truly looking out for the interests of students. This is particularly true when LHU housing professionals told the foundation $409 per month was absolute maximum students could afford before they built this complcx. I * - ...

If the Foundation loses its appeal to the Court ofCommon Pleas, it will impact potential levels of support to the university. It is the Foundation's position that no individual benefits from any surplus revenues from this project. Only the university will ultimately benefit from any surplus. Because ofthis, and thc fact that the Foundation built this apartment complex in response to a need of the university, the Foundation believes that this project is within the scope ofits charitable mission.

In fact, thc bedroom I'm sleeping in is now filled with bags of donated clothesmore than I need right now. So today I pulled out a t-shirt that looked like it was from some university athletic department, but as I was putting it on I realized that it said: Perpetual State Of Transition The Ninth Ward floods again... Last weekend I had begun thinking 1 might go home by the end of the month. Then on Monday 1 discovered my street was closed due to a chemical spill. And now much ofthe 9th Ward is flooding again, which means the process of draining the city, restoring the water supply and electricity will start all over again. Saturday, September 24, 2005 The idiotic media coverage of Rita The coverage wasn't even over before the simplistic, small minded media analysis began. Among the illogical conclusions: Evacuations for Rita were handled more responsibly Over and over I have heard praise for thc fact that the evacuations in Texas were issued 72 hours ahead of time. True, but 72 hours before Katrina hit New Orleans, no one even knew she was coming. Similarly. Lake Charles, a much smaller town, was held as an example for having successfully evacuated 90% ofthe and the reluctance ofpeople to flee New Orleans last month. UPDATE: Now they are actually warning viewers about the dangers of post traumatic stress disorder. Not for actual victims, but for viewers of the news. It is called "Vicarious Post Traumatic Stress." Monday, September 26, 2005 Apparently I'm African American and other media inspired epiphanies. In Mississippi, during and after the storm, there was no electricity and therefore no media reporting what may or may not be going on in New Orleans. At the time it was frustrating, because what reports were filtering down by word of mouth seemed confusing and contradictory. Now, after three weeks of watching the news off and on, 1 miss those days of innocence. Back then, when people talked about the response of the government and the media being influenced by race, I felt pretty strongly that it wasn't just race—it was more than anything about class. People with money have no sense of what it is like to not have any: how limiting it is and, frankly, how it is possible to be working full time and still living in poverty. My perception has been altered in recent days. First by entering the crime forum at nola.com where 1 encountered a mostly hostile collection of white men concerned about their Corvettes being stolen by "those people". When I posted a few thoughts that didn't fall in line population. That's not much example, that not all criminals different from the evacuation ofNew Orleans, which did 80% in even less time. Rita had few casualties because people were better prepared Yes, because the storm announced itself. But it also dipped down to a category 3 and hit less populated areas. It's curious that no one is reporting much on the 10% that weren't evacuated in Texas. Who are they? Why were they unable to leave? We may never know. Also, while many reports are being filed on how impossible it was to evacuate large cities by car, no one is thc connection making between those horror stories are black—they immediately assumed I was African American and began hurling insults at mc. When I mentioned that I had to borrow money to evacuate, they continued, telling me that I was exactly the kind of person they needed to get rid of. When I identified myself as a school teacher, they told mc I was what was wrong with the public school system and that I must have snorted my paycheck. The level of ignorance displayed by these self-identified proper New Orleanians sickened me. It made me not want to go back. Of course, they existed before the storm—I just never rate encountered them directly, in part because if we had met face to face they would have realized I was white—and therefore, absurdly, withheld the comments and ire they targeted me online. But online, they were able to judge me based on just a few facts: my neighborhood and my income. The conclusions they drew show just how unfamiliar they are with their city, and the fact that it is possible to work hard and still have an empty bank account at the end of the week. But in many ways they are no different than thc mainstream media--or perhaps they are the product of it. If you read The New York Times, you will discover neighborhood distinctions that don't actually exist in the real New Orleans: North Bywater. Riverside, etc. only exist on the maps they have drawn to illustrate the points they want to make about flooding and demographics. The truth is that while race, racism and poverty are widespread in the city, none of it is so easily portrayed on a map. In fact, the map of New York City is far more distinct in the lines drawn between rich and poor, black and white. But most appalling of all was the news today in the Times Picayune, which reports that the widespread rape and murder reported during and after the flood was completely fabricated—by frantic citizens, rapid reporters and, I think, particularly bloggers, some of whom wrote as if they were eyewitnesses to these crimes even as they bloggcd away from some safe haven. Remember (he seven year old girl who was discovered with her throat slashed? Fiction, apparently, as are most of the other deaths reported at the Supcrdomc and the convention center. The gangs of thugs raping and terrorizing children after the lights went out-again, no confirmations at all from anyone who was actually there. In fact, thc homicide rate during and after the hurricane was exactly the same as it was before, which is admittedly too high, but still, the theory that packing poor, mostly African American people together inspired rampant crime is a myth that too many peopleincluding me, apparently— were willing to buy. Kristen Buonfiglio Guest Writer Selflessness in the wake of distaster The thing is that is doesn't fault it is for what happened to New Orleans, nor the fact that New Orleans is not anywhere near Lock Haven, but saying that New Orleans should have to pay more taxes to help rebuild their own city and not receive help from thc rest of the nation because it is their own fault for what happened to them, is like telling a blind man that he can't have a seeing eye dog to help him get out and around because it's his own fault for being born blind. Wc live in a society today were most people seem to think it's all about themselves and no one else matters. Wc live in a bubble, whereas only the people who are inside the bubble with us matter, like our friends and family. But there is more than just our friends and family inside that bubble. What about our brothers and sisters in Christ that we should always try to help out when they are in trouble? What about the homeless? What about people who are less fortunate than us? Our classmates, people we don't even know, they are in there too. The world is our bubble, and we need to not only care about the people we do know, but also the people we don't know. Jesus called us all to be disciples of Him. Jesus went around healing the sick and taking care of most people that he had no idea who they were. We must take care of others just as Jesus did for our ancestors. Being selfish is something that we all do at times. No one is perfect, and sometimes we act selfish without even thinkfor what happened" was "outraing. But it is up to us to take geous." She claimed that it is the blame for what we arc thc fault of New Orleans for doing and act upon it. We need what happened and that they to start learning from our habits and mistakes and learn how to should have been better prepared. She also mentioned that change them.

Still, if one just stops and my class seemed to agree with her. thinks about it. if our own city "Then Jesus told his disciples, 'Ifany want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life?" Matthew 16: 21-27 While we are getting better in our advances in technology, even the most skilled meteorologist still cannot predict the exact conditions of the weather in the coming week: however, most meteorologists can give close estimates of what might happen. We could predict how strong Hurricane Katrina was just by a simple category number, but no one could predict how much damage Katrina would do to an entire city. New Orleans was a city that was not prepared for what was to come from Hurricane Katrina. When the damage had been done, more than half the city was underwater. Now in order to help the rebuilding process, we have to pay more taxes to help out. Seems reasonable to me because frankly, I would like to do as much as I can to help the city get back on its feet again, but to some people, rebuilding New Orleans just can't be done, and to others, it shouldn't be done. I was listening to a conversation in one of my classes about the hurricane, and one girl said that paying more taxes to help rebuild a city that "isn't our own" and "wasn't prepared Toptee $/Ufa r • ■' ■ matter whose ■ '■■ At least Rita gives us another chance to '■' of Lock Haven was hit by a hurricane and we were in drastic need of recovery, wouldn't we ask people we don't know for help just like New Orleans did? Without a doubt we would. And to hear and see people turn away from our pleas for help, doesn't one think that would hurt just a little bit? If someone was hanging off the side of cliff and was about ready to fall, don't you think this person would cry for help? To this person it wouldn't matter who helped him or her; this person just wants to be rescued. What if another person walked by. saw and heard the victim's cries for help, turned to the person who was about ready to fall to his or her's death and say "what's in it for me?" Now, how many of us have honestly said that to someone when asked for help? I would say a great many of us have, and it's a habit we need to break. God wants us to care and think about others. We are important yes. but when compared to a person who has much less than we do, wouldn't it make sense to reach out to that person who has less than to ask for more for ourselves? Jesus may have died on the cross to save us from death from our sins on earth, but that doesn't mean we can just gp around doing whatever w$ want thinking we will be forgiven. Selfishness is something that we all have, but just imagine how thc world would be if we all acted selfish all the time. We must act in Christ like ways as much as possible every day of our lives. If we do, we can begin to act upon our selfish ways and start to see things in a new perspective. Perhaps maybe we can begin to help others we don't know and start to grow our bubble to be able to fit the world inside. Sometimes it's hard, but with God at our side anything is possible, and we must always try to strive for it. Cartoons that make you go "Hrmm .. ■ ...Or not. redeem ourselves...

Asked about this, he explained (this was the entire explanation): "They came off a couple of weeks ago." I'm not complaining about my son's housekeeping. He is Martha Stewart compared with the student who occupied his bedroom last year. According to true campus legend, when this student moved out, his laundry was so far beyond human control ... Porcenaluk that he simply abandoned it. As a kind of tribute, his roommates took a pair of his briefs outside, climbed a lamppost and stretched the briefs over thc lamp. They remain there today, a monument to the courage and dedication it takes to put underpants on a lamppost. I was gazing up at them in admiration when a student said to me: "That's the cleanest they've ever been." Not all student rooms look like my son's. Some are occupied by females.

Sara Dorsey, right, an LHU criminal justice student who spent the summer working as an officer in Ocean City, Md., shakes the hand of Dr. Tamson Six, criminal justice department chair. Trading in textbooks and pencils for a nightstick and sidcarm. Sara Dorsey was one of a few college interns from across the country to work as a fully-trained police officer over thc summer. Dorsey, a senior Lock Haven University criminal justice major hailing from Airville, Pa., was hired by the Ocean City. Md. police department last May, and she will remain an officer there until she finishes her internship in November. Though some summer interns working as officers in Ocean City rode a bike and patrolled the boardwalk. Dorsey drove a police car around the city at night, wore a .357 magnum handgun on her belt and had the ability to arrest those who willfully broke the law. Dorsey first heard about the internship in fall 2004 when officers from the Ocean City police department visited LHU and the criminal justice class she was taking, searching for interested recruits to try out for seasonal employment positions. "I've always looked at working for a police department as a career choice." Dorsey said. "This was my opportunity to start." But applying for the internship was competitive, and Dorsey was just one of a handful of students from Pennsylvania, and one of 105 total, selected to go to a police academy for training to become an Ocean City officer. "It was a condensed academy and they packed in a lot in a short period of time," Dorsey said. As part of her training. Dorsey learned how to use a noise meter, a device that determines if the audible level of a social gathering is disturbing the peace. "It's a big deal there," she said, noting that renters can be ousted in cases of violation. Other training included firearm use, policing on a bicycle and evasive driving, she said. After finishing the academy in mid-June, Dorsey dove into police work, pulling a 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. shift driving the streets of the city at night. "I had a full range of experience," she said.

"In order for something to be considered a domestic assault where we can make an arrest, there are some requirements," Dorsey said. "The assault must have occurred within 24 hours of the call, there must be visible signs of injury and the individuals must reside together." There were a number of assaults where arrests could not be made because they did not meet the requirements, she said. On other calls, Dorsey felt it necessary to draw her gun. "There was an abandoned hotel, and we had to clear the building once a week," she said. "That was one situation where I had my weapon drawn."

Diaz Guest Writer Lock Haven students are faced with the dilemma ofLock Haven being "diverse", whether they realize it or not. When the issue is microscopically looked at one can get down and dirty and identify the differences that exist within the Lock Haven University community. Lock Haven University is a university that prides itself upon the fact that there are 100 plus clubs and organizations on campus, which adhere and coincide with the notion of the diversity within LHU. In knowing that over a 100 clubs exist within LHU there should be no doubt to how diverse LHU is, unfortunately there still are those whom question and even insist upon LHU not being diverse. Diversity, as defined by thc Men-jam-Webster Dictionary, is the condition ofbeing composed of distinct forms or qualities. Call this reporter crazy, but the fact that there exists a common ground where clubs like the Asian Student Association (ASA), the Black Student Union (BSU). Gay Straight Alliance Latino Student (GSA), Association (LSA), the Sport related clubs, the majors related clubs, and the' Inter-Fraternity Council Association can get together for the better of an establishment in hopes to educate, promote, and beset role models to the community, shows the exasperated condition of diversity here on campus. Diversity for LHU does not end there. Instead, it continues with the growing number of students entering the university. "It's great to see the diverse population increase because that opens many doors for the whole campus," said Adonis Roman, a sophomore majoring in Sport Just recently sources in the Admissions office have revealed that the number of minorities have jumped increasingly from what was a 7-8 percent minority population to a 10 percent minority population here on campus. Programs in LHU such as Study Abroad have internationally diversified this university sending, as well as accepting, students from all facets of the world. Students are able to study in countries such as France, Italy, England, Germany, Japan, China, Brazil, Mexico, and Australia to name a few. If the question of whether LHU is in need of diversity or even a question of LHU being diverse, one knows the answer. Whether one wants to join a fraternity and/or sorority, a club of Latino, Asian, and/or African Association, a club of Religious and/or Sexual Association, or even clubs relating to sports and majors one does not need to look any further because Lock Haven University has it all.

If it is her schooling, job, or otherwise, it is likely to be a shortlived issue, however, if all roads lead to the relationship, it istime to cut short the relationship for her own good, if nothing else. The most frequent cause of alcoholism is stress, so like I've said; find out from those close to her what has given her the most stress. It will likely be a long and strenuous process to help her recover from this state but if it doesn't happen you won't be having a relationship with the same person at ail but the shadow of a girl friend that you previously knew. Just to give you a play-byplay game plan on how to help, your best bet is to first start with research. Go online and search through websites outlining the most frequent variables associated with dependency and what can be done. Usually this will involve an intervention by friends or even a revamping of her lifestyle, such as quitting a job. dropping classes or otherwise, it will rarely mean extended time in a recovery center as long as you intervene soon. The next step would be to talk to her friends about it. Females, more so than males, tend to use their friends as their closest confidences and are thus ■ Let Us Praise Rocking Men By: Linda C.
