The building was closed last
May and the weight room was

Rogers Gymnasium is
receiving a vital makeover, a
new roof and a wooden gym
floor is just the beginning. New
windows on the first and second
floor are also being added. A
new electrical system and lighting is included in the list of
additions, as well as air-conditioning and a second entrance to
the basement. The existing
basement stairs will be replaced
and the inside will be painted.
The current paneling around the
inner walls of the building is
being restored, as well as the

Spectacle brings in new voters
Brendon Costello
Staff Reporter
The Lock Haven University
chapter of the Youth04 Voter
Mobilization Initiative successfully registered 34 new
voters during their registration
drive on Friday.
Political Spectacle, which
occurred on the front lawn of
Russell Hall, was a place students could go to find registration forms and absentee ballots
applications. The students running the drive even paid for
the postage to send the forms.
Youth04 encourages students of all ages that their
votes do count just as much as
anyone else's.
"Some younger students
may be spending their entire
college experience under the
administration of the President
Elected in November," said
Jeff Kucnzi, local member of
the Youth04 group. "They
need to realize that they are
forfeiting their right to criticize
the outcome of the election if
they don't show up at the polls
on November 2.

Not let me connect to the internet?! How dare they! If you're like me,
you're enraged at the mere thought of not having Internet access. Think
about it: You're misting out on all those instant messages! Luckily,
I've cooked up a little scheme to help fight the battle against those
harmful viruses.
"But Nate, what IS a virus?" Basically, a virus is a program which
interferes with the normal operation of your computer. While there are many
variants(macros, trojans, keyloggers) and it may seem impossible to gat
rid of them all, there is a way. Antivirus software is the most common
way. If you bought a new computer before school started there is virus
protection on there but it's out of date. Many companies, such as
Norton or McAffee, will give you virus protection, but at your expense.
Forget it. If you want a free anti- virus program, all you need is AVG. AVG
is a free anti' virus program developed by CmSoft. They offer free updates
too! The catch? You have to provide your email address to receive e

speech reminding students of
their right to vote, even when
they don't like the major party
candidate.
"Why reward someone you

because they have a greater
chance of winning. "Don't

then go ahead and be the lemming."
According to The Center

Civic Learning and

Saturday, September 25th, members of the LHU Forensics Team
attended the Bloomsburg Novice Tournament held at Bloomsburg University.
Novice tournaments are for members who have attended three meets or less.
Although it was a first-time experience for many of the students, the team did
extremely well. Most members placed in their events. Laura Faust placed fifth
for After Dinner Speech and third for Informative Speech. Melissa Girton placed
second in Single Dramatic Interpretation and fourth in Prose Interpretation.
Also placing in Prose Interpretation were Maralea Staton in third place and Kris
Glad in fifth place. Maralea Staton also won a Superior Performance Award for
Poetry Interpretation. Chris Kaltwasser won a Superior Performance Award for
Extemporaneous Speech. Everyone worked very hard and did a wonderful job.
The team hopes to continue winning awards and representing LHU.

October 2 students discovered
more ways to spice up their
spring mix with some diversity
and leadership.
On Saturday morning students spent five hours in the
PUB to participate in the
SAL AD or Seeking Alliances
and
Leadership
through
semiDiversity workshop. The
nar, facilitated by Ricardo Hall
from Wake Forest U. and
Shauna Irwin from Bucknell U.,
sought to help students understand diverse populations,
implement community service,
and gain leadership skills that
will help dissolve many social
barriers within college campuses.
The workshop ran various
activities such as "Dominant
Impressions" that encouraged
students to discuss the stereotypes they have of each other's
organizations, focus on ways to
"build bridges" between these
gaps, and create a sense of unity
among all campus groups.
Students also participated in a
"Values Activity" designed to
focus on the values and viewpoints of each organization and
to remind students to work

together through the basic values the clubs share.
When discussing campus
barriers, many agreed on gossip,
lack of support for groups, and
laziness as prime issues.
Disparities that exist in
resources such as finance, membership, and advisors also create
barriers within the groups that
stifle goals, progress and positive attitudes. However, students
found that attributes such as
responsible leadership, initiative, goals, and trust help break
down these barriers and form
action plans in times ofcrisis.
The workshop, formed by an
agency from Denver, CO called
Campus Speak, recognized a
need in college campuses for
speakers to educate students on
leadership development and
diversity awareness. Campus
Speak was formed in 1999 and
has specialized in sending
issues-based lecturers from
coast to coast to discuss residence life, today's Greek organizations, leadership, health, and
much more.
Ricardo, an Associate Dean
and Judicial Officer at Wake
Forest, has facilitated the
SALAD program for almost a
year. He believes many barriers
that colleges experience are
directly reliant on the campus
environment, student government, or even the make-up of
the campus such as being a

"suitcase campus", or one where
students leave for home every
weekend and fail to participate
in many campus activities.
Ricardo commented "For
this |the program) to have any
degree of significant success
there has to be some follow up.
some action plan to change."
Shauna Irwin. Asst. director
of Fraternity and Sorority
Affairs at Bucknell. has led the
program for three years. She discovered her Greek system,
embodied what SALAD focused
on as well as a desire to spread
the word to other campuses.
Since all college environments
vary. Shauna believes that not
only working on dissolving the
barriers but addressing them differently is thc key to change and
progress. She encourages students not to get stuck on what
people say, but rather on how to
improve their perspectives of
campus life.
Shauna smiles and says.
"Don't stop here because today
is just a launching pad so keep
on driving until you find thc
end." For more information on
SALAD and other programs,
you can visit www.campuspeak.com. And for more information on LH activities and
organizations, check out your

Gender Discrimination / Sexual Harassment Policies
and Procedures
GENDER DISCRIMINATION/SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY STATEMENT
Lock Haven University is committed to providing a learning and working environment that enhances the dignity and worth ofevery member of its community. To this
end, the community must be free from discriminatory conduct of any kind. Thus, because such conduct subverts the well-being of the college environment, abuse, discrimination or harassment of any individual will not be tolerated.
Gender discrimination/sexual harassment in any form is not only contrary to University policy but also morally reprehensible because it undermines the dignity of community members and often represents an unfair exploitation of power.

As a university, we take seriously our responsibility to educate all members of the community about the nature of gender discrimination/sexual harassment, its effects on
both individual and communal well-being, and the steps necessary to combat it. Lock Haven University is committed to equality of opportunity and freedom from discrimination for all of its students, faculty and staff.

Gender discrimination/sexual harassment and all forms of sexual intimidation and exploitation are of concern to the University. Governed by Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972 which prohibits sex discrimination in education, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits sex discrimination in employment, and the
Pennsylvania Human Relations Act of 1955 (and their amendments), the University seeks to prevent and correct such actions. Gender discrimination/sexual harassment is
unacceptable conduct and will not be tolerated in any context at Lock Haven University, whether it be in a faculty/student, faculty/faculty, supervisor/employee, student/student, worker/co-worker, or other relationship regardless of the formal status of the persons involved. Individuals who engage in such behavior are subject to appropriate corrective action which, when warranted, may include termination of their relationship with the University. In addition, such persons may be held personally liable to the target
of such behavior and be subject to sanctions independent of those imposed by the University.
Under Title IX, an individual is the victim of gender discrimination if he/she is, on the basis of sex, excluded from participation in , denied the benefits of, or subjected to
discrimination under any education program or activity operated by the University. In addition, under Title VII an employer commits gender discrimination if it (a) fails or
refuses to hire, discharges, or otherwise discriminates against any individual with respect to his/her compensation, terms, conditions or privileges of employment, because of
such individual's sex, or (b) limits, segregates or classifies its employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of
employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his/her status as an employee, because of such individual's sex.
Sexual harassment, which is a form of gender discrimination, occurs in a variety of situations which share a common element: the inappropriate introduction of sexual
activities or sexual comments into the work or learning situation. Though not limited to the following circumstances, often sexual harassment involves relationships of
unequal power and contains elements of coercion, for example suggestions that academic or employment reprisals or rewards will follow the refusal or granting of sexual
favors. For purposes of this Policy, sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual
nature occurring when:

1.
2.
3.

Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment, or of a student's academic status or treatment;
Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for academic or employment decisions affecting such individual; or
Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work or academic performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or
offensive working or academic environment to a reasonable person.

Types of behavior which may constitute sexual harassment include, but are not limited to:
-Sexist, sexually suggestive or intimidating remarks or behavior;
-Inappropriate and offensive uninvited sexual advances;
-Solicitation of sexual activity or other sex-linked behavior by promise of reward;
-Coercion of sexual activity by threat of punishment;
-Sexual assault.

SUPERVISORY CAUTIONS
Faculty and supervisors should be aware that amorous or sexual relationships with students or subordinate employees are strongly discouraged at Lock Haven University.
Due to the inherently unequal nature of a relationship in which on party supervises, advises or evaluates the other, the apparent consensual status of an amorous relationship
between such parties is suspect even when both parties have given voluntary consent. In such a situation, it is the ethical and professional responsibility of the person in the
position of power to relinquish decisions regarding the subordinate and to remove him/herself from the supervisory role. In sum, such relationships have the potential for
adverse consequences, including the filing of charges of sexual harassment, and thus any person in a supervisory capacity enters at peril into amorous or sexual relations with
a

subordinate.

PROCEDURES FOR RESPONDING TO GENDER DISCRIMINATION/SEXUAL HARASSMENT
All parties involved must clearly understand that gender discrimination/sexual harassment is not only a violation of University Policy, it is a violation of state and federal
law. As a result, the complainant may proceed in one of three ways: (1) through the University procedure (described below), (2) through the legal system (state and federal
agencies and/or the criminal justice system), or (3 ) through a combination of both. The complainant should inform the University if she/he intends to proceed through the
legal system. Following the University procedure does not preclude pursuing the complaint through the legal system.
"This wording is consistent with applicable federal guidelines relating to sexual harassment.
The University policy seeks to encourage students and employees to express freely, responsibly, and in an orderly fashion their opinions and feelings about any problem
or complaint of gender discrimination/sexual harassment. Deliberate or malicious false accusations of gender discrimination/sexual harassment will not be tolerated.
However, any act by a student or University employee of reprisal, interference, restraint, penalty, discrimination, coercion, or harassment-overtly or covertly-against a student
or employee for responsibly using this Policy and its Procedures may itself be a violation of the Policy subjecting the perpetrator to disciplinary action under this Policy if
appropriate.

PROCEDURES FOR RESPONDING TO GENDER DISCRIMINATION/SEXUAL HARASSMENT:
The University endorses a strong, widely disseminated and consistently enforced policy against gender discrimination/sexual harassment. As such, each University dean,
director, department chairperson, search committee chairperson, administrator and supervisor is responsible within his/her area of jurisdiction for making appropriate referrals of complaints to the individuals identified in this policy. The University will annually publicize this policy in the Student Handbook; forward copies of it to all department chairpersons, deans, managers, and labor union leaders; and make announcements of any new procedure(s) in the campus newspaper and other means of existing com-

munication.

If you have any question or concerns you can contact the office of Social Equity, Mr. Albert W. Jones at 893 -2322 or email at ajones@lhup.edu. You can also contact any
of these campus representatives for help and information. All individuals are treated in a professional and confidential nature.

has denounced. Not only is
additional spending needed in
the Middle East according to
Kerry's plan, but also greater
contributions to homeland
security are to be implemented;
during his first presidential
debate with Bush, he was
extremely critical (and maybe
descrvingly) of the president's
job of protecting the country
saying for action to be taken,
necessary funding must be put
forward. In doing this however,
Kerry again showed another
tendency toward heavy number
spending while his only wish
was to cut a research and development program for more
advanced bunker busters that
arc currently under way.
Stepping away from the
obvious partisanship in this
article, this presidential race
seems to show a possible future
in America for heavy number

government spending. Whether
this actually shows a new
approach to budget management in the federal government
or simply shows a political
game being played to beat one
of the more polarizing presidents in history; it appears that
the deficit will not be disappearing in the near future (as it
is already quite large and shows
of shrinking).
no sign
Regardless of the outcome of
the election, we will not be seeing a president who will be taking strong action against heavy
number spending.
The one thing that is for certain however, is this election's
incumbent has brought about
one of the greatest moves
toward big government spending in the nation's history; a role
which the democratic senator
only looks to further intensify.

schools
Cash-strapped
across the nation have been
turning to corporate sponsorship with soft drink makers and
the like in recent years, and
while such deals generate revenue for the schools, "It's really
a bargain with the devil because
what these districts essentially
are doing is selling their students' health," according to
Alex Molnar, head of the
Arizona State University's
Commercialism in Education
Research Unit, which studies
corporate involvement in
schools. The research group
documented
thc
recently
growth of these relationships,
which increased 13-fold during
the 1990s.
The USDA says that such
commercial promotions "convey a mixed message. When
children are taught in the classroom about good nutrition and
the value ofhealthy food choices but are surrounded by vending machines, snack bars,
school stores and a la carte sales
offering low nutrient density
options, they receive the message that good nutrition is
merely an academic exercise
that is not supported by the
school administration and is
therefore not important to their
health or education." But thc
economic bottom line for suffering schools is that forgoing
physical activity programs and

hawking unhealthy nutritional
habits is an unfortunate fiscal
necessity.
Or is it? A report released
last week indicates that these
practices could be just as costly
as their alternatives. According
to a study published last Friday
by Action for Healthy Kids (a
coalition of more than 40 health
and education agencies), obesity in students could be costing
schools millions in operating
costs. The study cites the example of attendance, in that "at
least nine states that get state
money based on student attendance are losing an estimated
tens of millions of dollars
because ofabsenteeism." which
often results from thc poor
health that is symptomatic of
nutrition problems. The group
also notes that "unhealthy
lifestyles by students and faculty lead to other hidden costs,
from lower worker productivity
to the added expenses of helping students who have fallen
behind."
The implication of this
study is that the long-term
effects ofthe quick fix financial
solutions that schools have been
forced to adopt are devastating
not only in health costs, but in
fiscal costs as well. It is shameful that such measures have
become a financial inevitability
for our school system. It is time
to reprioritize when this country's children arc being asked to
pay the price of their own education with their health.

Where's the money, Edwards?
Dear Editor,
Where's the money? That
should be John Edwards's punch
line and not some actor in a
movie. Has anyone taken a good
look at this guy? Man. there's
nothing he hasn't done, that hasn't lined his pockets with the
green stuff. He's the type of
lawyer whose endeavors have
made cause for all those nasty
lawyer jokes that seem to ring
all too true about the profession
today. Now, he wants us to do
the right thing when it comes to
our nation's second most highest seat.
Really, can Pennsylvania or
any other state in the Union risk
exposing itself with such liability with a guy like this? After all,
Pennsylvania now faces a medical liability crisis, because of
individuals like John Edwards.
This state is third worst in the
country in terms of physicians
lost. Pennsylvania Poll shows 1
in 4 lost physician due to
Liability Insurance Crisis.
Much of thc blame for this
rests at the feet of trial lawyers,
like John Edwards. The would
be Vice President is proud of his
trial experiences, even going so
far as to write a book about it. In
fact, Edwards made millions
from suing doctors, and a name

palsy. Edwards used deceptive
methods to win these lawsuits,

be even slightly alarmed at what
kinds of subliminal messages
the media is sending to young
women, and what kinds of

our self-image and our advancements toward equality.
I, on the other hand, was

now been interrupted by the
sharp realization that many
other women my age aren't simply entertained by this stuff
they believe in it and often
unwittingly mold their lives
around it without batting a perfectly mascara'd eyelash.
I was so bothered by this
realization that 1 decided to
share a little insight into
Cosmopolitan with those who
aren't savvy with what this magazine is putting out there for the
consumption of tomorrow's (or
is it even today's?) female leadership.
Here's a breakdown of the
October 2004 issue:
-325 pages in the issue.
-29 pages of content display-

-

ing acceptable dress for today's
fashions. Including the shopping
information pages.
-17 pages of beauty tips,
including make-up and hairstyling do's and don'ts.
-21 pages of content teaching women how to better sexually and emotionally capture and
satisfy their men, including the
bedside astrologer.
-87 ads that promoted
clothes or beauty aids, all of
which were at least a full page.
-13 pages of celebrity gossip
that does nothing but encourage
young women to focus on the
lives of famous people, rather
than on their own careers or
other more relevant issues.
Do the math. That adds up to
167 pages that promote superficiality to young women today,
instead of stronger, more wellbalanced ideas and values.
This isn't to say that other,
more valuable content isn't
there. And I suppose Cosmo
magazine is to be commended
for their efforts to cover all
aspects of a woman's life in
2004, from the superficial to the
crucial. There are, in fact, 32
pages relating to workplace and
women's health issues, book
reviews, travel tips and ideas,

the upcoming Presidential election, an uplifting story about a
woman's success concerning an
attempted rape, how close
women are getting to the
Presidency, new ways that
women can be violated and
scummed, ways women can be
stronger, and how to avoid and
deal with stress.
Please understand that I'm
not trying to point the finger at
Cosmopolitan magazine only.
There are quite a few other magazines that promote similar subject matter and are targeted to
thc same --.'dicnce or even a
younger, more impressionable
age group of women. Besides,
pointing the blame at popular
magazines for slowing women's
progress in a collegiate newspaper won't get my message very
far. Instead, I'm directing my
message at the readers of those
magazines that are part of this
campus.
A former slogan for
Cosmopolitan magazine read. "I
am that Cosmo girl." After taking a close look at what it really
means to be "that Cosmo girl," I
hope you'd all see that this isn't
the way to achieve equality and
join me in saying, "I am not that
Cosmo girl!"

caused a commotion Sunday
afternoon with their defeat over
Sacred Heart University, 2-1. It
seems that triumph always
comes out in thc second half for
the Bald Eagles, but, better late
than never.
With a scoreless first half
and winning not far off. the
Haven knew that it was time to
step it up, and that's exactly
what happened. The scoring
started with Samantha Stoyer
deflecting a shot off the pads of
Sacred Heart's goalie, just three
minutes into the second stanza.
Keltic Kulina stepped up
next, extinguishing any chance
of victory for the Pioneers.
Kulina rushed more than half
the field, past every defender, to
send her shot to the back of the
cage. The game winning goal
upped her season total to 10,
making her the leading scorer
for the Haven.
Even though the Haven was
on top, the Pioneers were not
willing to go down without a
fight. SHU scored their only
goal late, however it wasn't
enough to over power the
Eagles.
The win kept the Eagles
undefeated in the Northeastern
Conference at 3-0.
Haven 3 Columbia 2 (20T)
It seems that it may be

impossible to put any type of
pressure on the Eagles' winning
streak. Saturday afternoon the
Haven knew what needed to be
done, and did it, with a double
overtime
victory
against
Columbia University, 3-2.
Sarah Huber and Mandy
Daschbach teamed up and
notched all three goals for thc
Haven. Huber and Daschbach
go way back as high school
teammates, so working together
was nothing new for them.
With a miserable start to the
first half, the Haven knew that
they needed some type of push
to come through. With a little
pep talk at half time the Eagles
came out brand spanking new.
Down 2-0, Huber came out
on a mission, scoring back-toback goals to even the score at
2-2. The team had 26 shots
against the Lions' defense, while
goalkeeper Melissa Stubbleficld
did not face any type of action in
the second half.
After a score of 2-2 in overtime the Eagles decided that
they wanted win more than the
Lions. So Mandy Daschbach
and Courtney Hughes took
charge in the second overtime.
Hughes assisted on Daschbach's
rocket shot off a corner. The
win marked the second overtime
victory for the Haven this season.
The Eagles will look to
extend their win streak at
Quinnipiac University Friday at
4 pm.

vent the players from making more than what the team receives in revenue. It has
been reported that teams in the league spend 95% of their revenue on player's
salaries which leaves nothing for the organization. The owners are trying to limit if
not eliminate this. In the end, the people who will suffer the most are you and I,
the fans. I don't believe that money is the root of all this evil. I believe that greed
from the players is thc reason for thc lockout. With the money they make, 2-5 million dollars less a season shouldn't be that much of hit in their pockets. Whatever
happened to playing for the love of the game? Money has ruined most major
sports and I would rather watch any collegiate sport instead of a professional sport
because the competitive aspect is exciting and these players are trying to get the
professional level. Professional sports can be dull and thc reasons the players are
playing can vary. In the collegiate ranks the players are trying to get to that next
level and make millions while still receiving an education even if its just one or two
years. Critics may say collegiate athletes are getting paid too but the proportion of
millions of dollars to what people assume collegiate athletes arc getting paid is not
even worth going into detail about. Fans will have to suffer this fall as they did in
'94 for baseball and almost this past year in baseball. I wonder what is really
important to these athletes, greed and money or playing the sport because of their
love of the game and the fansl

The National Hockey League has decided to lockout

1 Normally my articles only talk about issues in sports, but this week I want to talk

politics first. First thing PLEASE VOTEimmm! I know that all of you have seen the

humiliating commercials for and against John Kerry and George Bush. None of
Shem really matter unless it will change our votes.
| Last week I watched the Presidential Debate and found it very funny. Everytime a
Itew subject was brought out both candidates would take it back to the War in Iraq,
1 know that this is a hot topic and a very important one because brave women and
men are losing and risking their lives to protect us, but both candidates need to stop
ifocusing on just one issue. America is a big and beautiful country with problems in
Healthcare, Social Security, Unemployment, and starving children. I hope whoever
the President that WE choose gets the troops that are fighting for our freedom
home first and then they take care of US and the problems that I listed above.
This week baseball goes on its search for the next MR. OCTOBER. This year I
think will be one of the more competitive races in years.
In the NX we have St. Louis, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Houston. The Astros are
the hottest team in baseball going 36-10 since August 15th. But the Cardinals have
showed that they were the best team in the regular season (but this is the playoffs
now). The Dodgers are much improved from a year ago and are led by MVP candidate Adrian Beltre. And the Braves have won 13 straight division championships.,
The A.L has Minnesota, Anaheim, Boston, And New York....Minnesota had the
least amount of trouble to get to the playoffs, as they clinched their division over
two weeks ago, so they have been resting their players for this week. Anaheim outlasted the A's, clinching the West title. Boston got out slugged by the Yankees for the
division crown but they can nght with any team in either league. They settled for
the Wild Card and this may be the year that the curse ends. With their pitching and
Manny, they can go far. And the YANKEES what more can I say FIRST YOU GET
THE MONEY THEN YOU GET THE POWER THEN YOU GET THE RESPECT.. .And
they also have 26 World Championships as a franchise.. And their batting order is
amazing, so can they be beat in a series???? If their pitching does not hold up then
they might be in trouble.
MY PICK FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS...
N.Y. YANKEES VS. ATLANTA BRAVES The Yankees and Joe Torre know how to
win in October and their line-up speaks for itself. The Braves have good pitching
they can play defense...with enough power to score runs.

Sorry Red Sox fans I still think the curse has your number, maybe next
year., ...But good luckl It would be nice to see them finally get past the
YANKEESIIHIIIini
...And I'm out like the trash on a Thursday

...Congrats to the women's soccer team and interim coach Peter Campbell. The
ladies are 4-1 in their last 5 conference games and are currently in second place.
Good luck the rest of the season ladiesl It was monumental week for two
Eagle field hockey members. In a 2-0 victory over Saint Francis, Nikki Swegcr and
Kellie Kulina added milestones of their own. Sweger scored thc game's first goal
and that score moved her up to 8th on the all-time career scoring list, ahead of
assistant coach Shana Vitale. Kulina assisted Sweger on that goal and she became
the school's all-time assist leader with 36. Congratulations ladies and keep getting
that respect the team has dcscrvingly earned so far on your quest for the NEC

...I feel like I'm going to watch a great set of boxing matches this weekend in college football. The card is full and is highlighted by two crucial heavy weight bouts.
The Red River shootout between #2 Oklahoma and #5 Texas has been anticipated
ever since last years Longhorn 65-10 lopsided defeat at the hands of the Sooners.
The Longhorn's have revenge on their mind and also want to prove they are the
real deal. Payback is also on the mind on the nation's # 1 team USC, as they host
#7 Cal. The Trojans only blemish last year was a 34-31 loss to Cal on September
27. This year the Bears must travel to L.A. and things should be a little different
this time around. Other key match ups include # 13 Minnesota traveling to the big
house in Ann Arbor to tangle with the #14 Wolverines of Michigan and #16
Wisconsin making a trip to the Horseshoe and #15 Ohio State. Thc battle for the
SEC East top crown is also on the line as #17 Tennessee goes south to Athens to
play in the #3 Georgia Bulldog house. Border rivals #24 LSU and #12 Florida also
battle in cross divisional SEC play. Who will be KO'd? Who will be the last team
standing in each fight? Separation Saturday's survivors will be one step closer to a
high ranking in thc BCS and a possible trip to one of its 4 bowl games!

...Love, peace, and hairgrease

"You say tomato, I say..."


Aluminum Bench from 85
by Tom Sternal
According to Vance McCoy, professor of sculpture
and 3-Dimensional design here at Lock Haven, this
steel bench is a product of the early 70's minimalist
movement. This style didn't relate to anything in the
world, and defied organic figures and form. It is geometric and is supposed to evoke intellectual, not
emotional responses. It is purposfully impersonal and
meant to blend in to the surrounding architecture.

However, the crowd wasn't

entire arena as the crowd pleaded with the band to return for
one last song.

Most times, I, like many
reviewers, take a devilish delight
in giving films bad reviews or
pointing out their inadequacies;
after all, it is far easier (and more
personally satisfying) to give a
negative review and cause the
venom flow towards a particular
film than it is to praise it to the
skies. Of course, this reviewing
tendency makes a mediocre film
all the harder to review. A film
fitting perfectly into this unfortunate niche is Shark Tale; it is a
film not bad enough that I can
afford to be savage, but neither is
it good enough that I can afford
to be totally kind.
Shark Tale does absolutely
everything it can to make the
viewer like it. The voicing talent
that the film's creators summoned
to give life to the characters is
truly awe inspiring and provides
some of the film's humor; for
example, just a few of the noteworthy actors voicing characters
include Jack Black, voicing a
vegetarian shark (not one of the

more likely roles you imagine
Mr. Black in), Robert De Niro,
voicing Black's character's dad, a
large mobster shark (appropriately named Don Lino), and the
director Martin Scorcese as a
slightly neurotic blow fish (with,
in what I'm sure was a coincidence, very bushy, Scorcese-like
eyebrows). Such voice casting
(which doesn't even include
Angelina Jolie and Katie Oniric,
whose voices are also heard) provide the knowledgeable audience
with a few smiles and a great deal
of entertainment. Add on to that
Will Smith, voicing the reefs
new, ambitious, fraudulent protector, Oscar, the "Shark Slayer",
Renee Zellweger portraying his
long suffering love interest, and
impressive animation and it
would seem that you have all of
the possible ingredients for a terrific movie.
There is only one problem;
even though all ofthe ingredients
are there, somehow, the ingredients were poorly mixed or not
cooked long enough, because the
result is a movie that is somehow
not very funny. Shark Tale is

often amusing and, if you can
catch the plethora of "in jokes"
that the film's creators throw in,
you won't be bored. However,
for whatever reason, the film
simply isn't very funny, especially when you consider that the
company that produced the film
is DreamWorks, the same company that has given us the consistently laugh-out-loud hilarious
Shrek franchise. It's not something that I can easily explain, but
something that I regret.
Shark Tale is an entirely
admirable movie and a movie
with a terrific message about parents accepting the choices of
their children. Unfortunately, if
critics were to start reviewing
movies based on the quality of
their message, then the entire
film critical canon would have to
be revised instantly, for some of
the worst movies have the best
intentions and some of the best
movies show the worst of what
lies in the human heart. 1 can in
good conscience laud the intentions and efforts of Shark Tale,
but not the film itself; at least not
entirely.

bile accident. This was just one
in the series of changes and
hardships she has gone through.
Her father, who had worked as a
policeman since she was born,
was laid off and her grandfather
passed away in March of her
second semester. Her aunt was
having problems with miscarriages. When her aunt finally
gave birth; she gave birth to
twins. One died and the other
was born prematurely. Her aunt
almost lost her life due to the
amount ofblood lost.
Jess decided that she needed
another change in her life. Like
Bill and Molly, Jess was oriented by the campus aid. She used
a cane for the first semester, but
decided during the winter break
she would take"a trip. Jess went
to Guiding Eyes for the Blind,
in Yorktown Heights, N.Y.
There she met her new best
friend, Taco.
Taco is a black Labrador
retriever. He was personally
matched according to Jess's
walking speed, her ability to
handle his pull on the leash, and
personality. Jess is always going
through changes and Taco is a
dog that can easily adapt to
those changes. He is a perfect fit
for Jess.
Taco can not be petted while
wearing his collar. He is not to
be fed from the table with
scraps of food. That will only
make him beg for food in a store
or restaurant. If you yell or get
mad, he can sense it. Jess is very
close to Taco. She has not spent
more than three days away from
him in the past two years she
has been al Lock Haven.
"He's not just my friend.

\ Jess went to public school

until fifth grade, Then she had a

she was on her own. It was
tough for Jess to grow up blind,
but it only got worse because of
the kids making fun of her.
"That was worse than anything," Jess said.
Maybe this helped her to
find what she wanted to major
in college.
Maybe she couldn't educate
people about the blind when she
was young, but maybe now she
can. Jess is a senior majoring in
early childhood education. This
will allow her to teach infants to
third grade. She chose Lock
Haven because it is close to her
hometown of Lewistown, Pa,
and Lock Haven had a good
education program.
Jess uses a lot of special
computer programs and devices
designed to help her take notes,

Living off campus was a
very scary move for Jess. Jess
spent three years living in
Russell Hall and Woolridge
Hall; until she finally moved to
Campus Village. She had to
familiarize herself with a whole
new environment and surroundings, and so did Taco. The main
reason why she moved offcampus was to build her confidence.
"I love it, the confidence I've
built." she said. "I was really
apprehensive about moving
down here."
Through all the changes in
her life, Taco has been an amazing dog for Jess. She suggests
that if another blind student
comes to Lock Haven and wants
to have a seeing-eye dog, that
they should spend a semester
learning their way around campus using a cane.
"It's hard for you and a dog
to learn at the same time," Jess
said.
After college, Jess plans to
teach, and she is already planning her wedding to her fiance
whom she met while in New
York with Taco. The wedding is
set for July 16, 2005. Jess
already has a wedding dress
picked out.

One of Jess's pet peeves ■
people who judge others on
their looks or what they appear
to be on the outside, something
that she has dealt with in her
youth and to an extent today.
Jess offered these words of
advice, "Don't judge a book by
its cover."
The
Americans
with
Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)
describes any person who has a
physical or mental condition
which substantially limits one
or more major activities. Dr.
Reynol Junco, the director of
disability services at Lock
Haven University, said that
there are 165 students with disabilities enrolled with his office.
With the new enrollments, there
might be approximately 30
more students added. Lock
Haven will always insure that a
person will have total access to
all programs, regardless of having a disability or not.
Bill, Molly and Jess use the
same devices and methods to
walk around the campus
through the services provided
from the university, but that is
where their similarities end.
Yes, they all have overcome a
disability in life, but they have
lived totally different lives.
They are just like you and I.

the difference. You and me and
all our friends, such an important race we face.
Though Dave Matthews and
his band didn't have much to say
about politics m Vtmf S&t,
as they kicked off the Vote for
Change 4our in State College,
those on hand could feel the
message through the music.
Even those that were intoxicated to the point that they don't
remember any details about the
'
show know that it was a special
night at the Bryce Jordan
Center.
Regardless of who wins the
presidential election, years
down the road many who
attended will think back and
recall the fond memories of that
night. They will proudly admit
that they were there at that
place, at that time, when several
of music's finest performers
came together with one cause.
That one cause is getting
people to go to the polls on
November 2 and put their opinion down on a ballet.
"The main thing I want you
to do is speak your voice by
going out and voting," Dave
Matthews said, as the concert
began to wind down. "It doesn't
really matter who you vote for,
just as long as you voice it."
The Dave Matthews Band
joined Ben Harper and the
Innocent Thieves, Jurassic 5 and
My Morning Jacket in kicking
off the week-long tour.
Matthews himself took the
stage to welcome the first opening band, My Morning Jacket,
who took the stage a bit after 6
p.m., performing for a small and
slowly growing crowd.
By the time Jurassic 5, the
second opening band, took the
stage, seats were still scarcely
filled but the crowd had begun

to grow more rapidly.

Haven students listened as two
reality show stars talked about
making it through college and
the "real world," last Thursday
night. Ace and Leah, from
MTV's The Real World. Paris,
dished their thoughts on the
future, pre-judging people, and
of course, real world gossip, at a
program sponsored by the SCC
and HAC.
Ace, who spent seven and a
half years in college, said his
first three years were particularly lough.
"I was focused on the future,
and not living for the day," he

problem was, it was easy to fix.
"Make every single day the
best day of your life," he said.
"Then the future will be made up
ofthe best days ofyour life."
Ace currently owns or coowns seven different businesses.
The businesses range from
nightclubs and bars to a steak
house and 24-hour gym.
"lite world is run by C students," he said.
Ace proves his point; he
himself was a C student while in
college.
Ace and Leah lived in Paris
for four months while on The
Real World. Leah learned a lot
about herself and others while

was, but that wasn't who I was,"
she said.
Upon entering the house,
Leah had many preconceived
notions about whom she would
meet. She considers that the
worst mistake she could have
made.
"The Real World is a great
opportunity to learn about yourselves and others," she said.
After the season ended, Leah
was grateful for the opportunity
because she was able to change.
"It gives you the opportunity
to look at yourself," she said.
"You are so young that you can
fix the bad stuff."
Both members of season 13

briefly, but have since gone their
separate ways due to the jumpstart ofher modeling career.
Although Leah dated offand
on while on the Real World and
the Inferno, she is currently
unattached. She keeps in touch
with Dan-ell and has plans to
visit Giuseppe in Florence soon.
Ace and Leah both agreed
that if they had the opportunity
to do it all over again, they
would. Ace would have traveled
more while he was there,
although he would like to visit
Paris again someday. Leah said
she would have changed her
behavior along with a lot of
other things.

The Dave Matthews Band's
knack for impromptu solos and
weird noises from Dave himself
made a few songs last all night.
When a performer can, at
any point throughout a show,
not say a word but make a
strange noise into a microphone
and receive a standing ovation
for it, there must be something
special going on.
Matthews did just that when
a string broke on his guitar. He
managed to turn it into a 15minute jam fest filled with peculiar faces and strange noises and
not a single word, unless you
count grunts and a few "ohh's"
and "ahh's."
After performing for nearly
2-hours, The Dave Matthews
Band thanked the crowd one last
time, jammed out to "All Along
the Watchtower," and walked
offthe stage with a wave to the
audience.
