On Saturday, State System
Chancellor Judy Hample hosted
a meeting of the Student
Government Presidents at the
Dickson Center in Harrisburg
to find out what issues were
foremost on the minds of the
presidents and their constituents.
Many students were concerned with the strike and how
it could affect the remainder of
the semester. Hample said that
each ofthe universities has contingency plans, but for the present they were being kept private
and not being released to the

can to keep the universities

open," said Hemple. "Nobody
wins in a strike, and the people
who lose the most are the students."
The Chancellor also said
that despite the cuts in the
SSHE's budget, it could be
worse.
None of the
Pennsylvania state related
schools (Penn State, Temple) or
any ofthe private schools in the
state had at this point received
any money from the state at all
because of budgeting issues.
"It is highly probable that
they will not receive funding
this year" said Hample.
Edward Nolan, the Vice
Chancellor
for
System
Relations' and Advancement
said, "What's happening is right.
In tough times they [the state
related schools] shouldn't be
funded and we should."
On Friday the Chairman of
the Board of Governors (the
body that controls the State
System of Higher Education)
Charles Gomulka was in attendance for a short question and
answer session.
During this session, the
gathered students and SSHE
representatives discussed the
new plan for distributing the
funding for the 14 state-owned
universities. One of the corner
stones of that funding plan is
that the state will be giving the
schools money based on their
student population.
Del Sellers, a student and
member of the Student
Cooperative Council at Lock
Haven University asked Mr.
Gomulka and Chancellor
Hample if the formula that gives
larger amounts of funding for
having large numbers of students could force schools to
take on more students that it can
handle in an effort to bring in
more revenue.

The old Lock Haven High School building on West Church Street was
broken into late last Thursday or early Friday morning. A Jeep Liberty
belonging to LHU was also stolen and recovered near Philadelphia.

Approximately 50 students were evacuated from
North Hall after a bomb
scare on Monday morning.
At around 11 a.m., Mike
Heck, resident director of
the hall, discovered a package in the mailroom with
the word "bomb" handwritten on it. The package
was covered in duct tape
and white paper, and had a

"Maybe a couple of years

Cars and rumors both
can spin out of control
and
itbursts
Mike Porcenaluk
Opinion Editor
Sometimes it takes a slap in
the face to snap you back to reality. It takes a near miss to make
you realize just how lucky you
are. Sometimes it takes a lot of
drama and rumors for you to
realize just how sma il your town
really is. And at those same
times, it makes you realize just
how much your life affects the
lives of those around you, and
how much you mean to so many
of them.
This past weekend, on my
way home for the Homecoming
football game in my town, I had
a brush with fate. I guess it was
more than a brush, though; it
was more of like a sliding,
screeching, and smashing
encounter.

About a half hour from
home, I rounded a sharp bend in
the road, only to realize halfway
through it that I had gone into it
too fast. I felt the rearend of my
car lightening up and losing control. The next thing I saw was
the side of a car, which was sit-

ting in someone's driveway,
coming up fast and filling my

line of sight. After a jolt and a
loud bang, I saw myself spinning around and coming to a
stop in the direction that I had
started out in, only off to the side
of the road, with the crumpled
hood blocking my view.
A quick realization of what
had just happened washed over
me, and I instantly checked to
see that my passengers were
alright. I had volunteered to take
two hometown friends back with
me for the homecoming celebra-

tions. Now I regretted getting
them into this mess, and for try-

ing so hard to get home before
we were expected there.
Sounds a lot like the Titanic
doesn't it? I guess those who
don't learn from history are destined to repeat it. Well, this captain had run his ship straight into
a white Chrysler, and was feeling terrible about his carelessness.
Luckily for me, the owners
of the car were very considerate,
and we exchanged insurance
information while my passengers took some deep breaths and
called friends and family to let
them know that we wouldn't be
home at the expected time. "We
are alright, but we were in an
accident, and we will be a little
late," was thc paraphrase; but
every conversation started off
with "We are alright."
Through the wonders of
modern
communications
devices, by the time we arrived
home, everyone in town had
heard of our accident. Even
though the message "We are
alright" got through to everyone
clearly enough, the details of the
rest of the accident got exaggerated to some gross proportions.
At one point, we had been
involved in a head-on accident,
other people thought we had
rolled over; one person said that
I was alright, but I had "asked
for my mommy." Which made
my mom think that I was in
shock in intensive care somewhere, because that is some-

thing that I would not normally

say.
By the time we got to the
game, we were heralded as
somewhat superhuman for surviving such a horrible accident
without a single scratch. Well,
pictures show the damage worse
than what I felt the initial colli-

sion to be. and the stories that
were told make the pictures of
my car a mere fender-bender
compared to what was said to
have happened.
Now because I grew up in
the same town as my parents

grew up in, and I associated with
the same people my whole life, I
know that rumors move fast
through my town. Everyone is
somehow related to or otherwise
knows everyone else, so when
something like a car accident
happens, everyone is somehow
affected.
In my situation, this only
added greater tension and
heightened emotions for those
who were concerned, but could
do nothing about it. It left more
questions with no answers,
unless they were made up by
someone who only had speculation. The viscous rumor cycle
spun out of control, much worse
than my car did.

alright, and my passengers say
they are tine as well. It could
have been much worse, but I
guess things always happen for a
reason. It made me realize that
my actions affect a lot more people than I thought, and I should
be careful about what I do and
say so that I do not hurt or worry
them. This was another thing to
chalk up to experience and move
on with life, living better
because of it.

Hodge 'paints a pretty picture'
Emily Capp
The Eagle Eye

Although it would be easier
do this with modern technology, Hodge remarked that, "For
me it would take the fun out of it
to do it on the computer."
For example, Hodge drew a
picture of a spleen and subtly
placed a face inside it. This did
to

The .John Sloan Fine Arts
Center is now featuring a second
exhibition of artwork for students to see. Artist Jerry Hodge
made a presentation to students,
faculty, and other interested
community members concerning his work of drawings and
paintings on Wednesday night at
8 p.m.
Hodge's works included a
vast diversity of pieces, from the
pen and ink drawings of a baby's
heart to vibrantly colored portraits of insects. The variety of

his artwork was appealing to
many spectators.
Kevin Meyers, a Lock
Haven University student, said,
" The diversity of his paintings is
very intriguing. He truly varies
his work but remains consistent
with his attention to detail."
In his presentation, Hodge

explained several phases he
embarked on as an artist. He
first began as a professor at thc
University of Michigan. During
this time, he illustrated medical
and science books using pen and
ink technique. Specifically, he
used a difficult method called
"eye lashing." He used an
extremely thin and fine Ilex pen
to carefully draw the anatomy of
the human body. With this difficult form, he was able to recreate
almost exact pictures of what the
given body part he was drawing
looked like. He actually sat with
suroeons afirj perfected his work
as thc doctors performed their
surgery.

not please the surgeon he was

working for.
Hodge has traveled to Spain,
and the
Amazon. In these places he discovered a love of insects, or at
least a love of painting them. He
would catch butterflies and later

Turkey,

Mexico,

paint them using art deco
designs. To catch these bugs,
Hodge would go to great lengths
to ensure he would have one to
paint. He once paid a dollar for
a bug off of a lady's blouse and
has made a spectacle out of himself chasing after an insect in
front of a tour group who could
not miss this Kodak moment.
Hodge was granted the privilege to work in the Middle East
at

the University of Yarmouk in

Irbid, Jordan. There he taught
art classes as well as a bit of

archeology. He began to paint
and draw ancient finds, such as a
Roman oil lamp and multiple
vases. The experience was an
amazing one for Hodge, and his
artwork reflects the interest he

had in the Middle East culture
and history. Hodge remarked
that if he came back in a future
life he would like to be an archeologist.

Nicholas, or animals, like his old
cat Harpo who has been immortalized in a painting that makes
him look like a divine god of
sorts.

A very interesting style that
Hodge used was called tromp
l'oeil, which is a French saying
for "trick the eye." In these
paintings, Hodge used props that
were no bigger than a half an
inch to a full inch to paint from.
These paintings leave an impression to the onlooker that they
can pick off what has been painted on. Hodge usually paints
stamps, letters, or keys. These
paintings can best be described
as appearing like a bulletin

board.

Hodge ended his presentation by saying, "I was told to
keep it short because students
like it when things are short."
Overall, the presentation
seemed to be enjoyed by those
who attended the event.

movie I see in the theatre and
that fact never, ever fails to
irritate me. After all, half of
the fun of going to the

movies is getting robbed at
the concession stand and
feeling guilty about the
spoils that you overpaid for.
So, this time. I decided to
buy two large Pepsi's instead
of one to go with my tub of
popcorn before nestling in
my Roxy seat to watch The
Rundown. I was infinitely
glad 1 did; thc extra Pepsi
was about the only thing that
kent me even mildlv amused

during thc duration of the
movie.
Thc Rundown is primarily an exercise in witlessness,
embarrassment, and pity.

The witlessness permeates
thc entire movie like money

permeates Bill Gates's soul.
With a plot more formulaic
that E=mc squared, dialogue
that I'm fairly well convinced was conjured up by

hall-conscious chimpanzees,
and a lead character (Scan

Will iam Scott) that surely
ranks as one of the dumbest
that has ever darkened thc
silver screen, the film's primary function seems to be as
a purifier to cleanse the
moviegoer's system before
the fall film season arrives

with movies that actually
have quality to them. Either
that, or the film was sent as a
divine test from God to separate the righteous from the
unrighteous (the unrighteous
being the ones who actually
liked this film).
All of that having been
said, one feels immense pity
for The Rock, thc film's star
and "retrieval expert" who is
sent on filmdom's ever popular "last mission before retiring into a peaceful restaraunteur's life" to find Mr. Scott's

character and bring him back
to Mr. Scott's father, but not
before being sucked into
romantic and adventurous
intrigue in a familiar story
that has been told in a thousand movies that are better
than this one.
Thc Rock exhibits enough
talent and skill to suggest
that he is worthy of much
better projects than this and
one hopes that he will find

and move on to these projects with much haste. One
also hopes the same for
Christopher Walken, who
comprises the "embarrassment" part of the triptych.

His entire performance
seems focused on the one
note of "evil", a note that he
holds longer than an opera
soprano and with worse
quality than me singing in
the shower. It is rare that I
have seen a worse performance from such a fundamen-

tally good actor.
I occasionally feel that I
should no longer be surprised at the travesties that
are visited upon the moviegoing public. However, seeing this film a mere two
weeks after having seen
Once Upon a Time in Mexico
(a movie that, though flawed,

contained more creativity in
any ten minutes than is contained in any of the brain's of

this is an ideal time to meet
new people and learn about
the various cultures and
political climates that they
have grown up in.
For me a lot of what I
have seen so far reminds me
of a college movie, which
my friends and I always
assumed was exaggerated.
The football games, the
cheerleaders and the college
band are the most striking
examples. To us it was like
stepping into an episode of
Dawson's Creek. It may not
be
North
Wilmington,
Carolina but Lock Haven,
Pennsylvania is just as pretty. I was told by relatives
that the people are warm,
welcoming and helpful, and
that they are. I was also
aware that Americans love
sports.

For me American attitudes towards sports are the
most interesting aspect of
studying at an American university as they are taken very
seriously - which I find
amazingly refreshing. At my
home university I play soccer, we train twice a week
and play other university
teams just once a week in the
British Universities Sports
Association (BUSA) league.
In stark contrast, here they
train every day and comnete
competitively at least twice a
week. Women's soccer in
Britain is only just receiving
the recognition that women's
soccer here received in 1999
following America's success
in the Women's World Cup.
Ask .iOni."iie in Rngjawj

SCOTIg/AOltV

Lock Haven is a special town
because I've been to other
places in the US and they're
not as nice but it is very
small and you don't get a real
chance to go shopping,
except to Wal-Mart!"

Daniele Fortuna of Italy
has similar views, "I think
this is real, small-townAmerica. I have never been
in a little American town
like this. The people are dif-

ferent here than in the big
cities, like in my own country. I've been to Las Vegas
and Detroit but thc people
here seem more relaxed and
kinder. I also feel very good
with the international students, there is a beautiful
atmosphere between them.
The American students are
nice but it is harder to make
friends with them because
obviously I have more in
common with Europeans."
The
International
Students Association is
headed by President Kossi
Adubra, a native of Togo,
West Africa and Irish VicePresident John Scanlon.
Kossi came to America in
1997 and went to High
School in State College
before coming to Lock
Haven. "My guidance counsellor in High School who
came to this school said
there was a good international program here and that it
was a way for me to be less
lonely and to meet people
from different places, so I
applied and got into the
Business School. One thing
I like about my department is
that they have integrated the
business and the technology
sides of the department. This
helped me choose courses
that are relevant to both

e

and to the
growing technology that is
occurring in the world today.
As for the international
program itself, they encourage a lot of students to go
abroad and great effort has
been made to bring international students here to the
Lock Haven campus. This I
think has changed the way
people think in the community. Most of the students
that come here are from
small areas of Pennsylvania.
Some people have never met
people from outside of their
city, much less seen people
from other cultures that
they've never heard of, so
I've been put in a good situation to share my country's
culture. To be able to represent the people back home in
Togo has been a challenge
and a pleasure and Lock
Haven has offered me that
opportunity."
John Scanlon spent time
Boston
before his arrival
in
at Lock Haven. "I got a bit of
management

a culture shock when I came
here, when I arrived I was
wearing a Red Sox t-shirt
which didn't go down too
well but since then every-

thing's been great! Lock
Haven is a very beautiful and
scenic place and the people
here are just so nice. The
international vibe around the
college is fantastic.
As Vice-President of the
ISA I've had some wonderful
experiences with American
students wanting to lend a
helping hand. Regarding my
touises, at home the professors are very subjective
whilst here they're very
inclusive, basically they
want to be your friend. It's
just an amazing place, two
weeks after I arrived I joined
the boxing club and that's
been a great experience and
one that I wouldn't get anywhere else. A nice surprise
was a talk on diversity I
attended due to my role as
ISA Vice-President. It was
great people listening to
your views and accepting
you as a person, even
though I'm young my
opinions were accepted
with open arms. The college is staying true to its
mission statement regarding international links
with other universities.
The only negative thing I
have to say is that the
food is so good here that
I'm going to go home
three stone heavier!"
What we can all be
sure of is one thing - not
everyone is lucky enough
to have the opportunity to
study abroad, but we are
and we won't forget it. We
all highly recommend takof the

The game was played after a three-hour rain delay
HAVEN- The
Mansfield Mountaineers, riding
on the shoulders of running
back Earnest McNeal's four
touchdowns and 329 all-purpose yards, ended Lock Haven's
six-game hold over them with

In a game delayed almost

including a 43-yard pickup and
final one-yard scamper into the
endzone by McNeal to move
out into the lead, 7-3.

Data

released

from

the

NCAA indicates PSAC studentathletes are graduating at rates
higher than their counterparts in
Division II. Of the student-ath-

letes who received athletic aid in
their first year of enrollment at a
PSAC school, 54.3% graduated
within six years, compared to
50% at the average Division II

.institution.

When compared to other
Division II public institutions, the
PSAC's graduation rate is over
six points higher, 54.3% to 48%.
Additionally, PSAC studentathletes graduate at higher rates

than their counterparts in the general student body at the league's
member institutions, which show
graduation rates at 50.6%.
NCAA statistics also indicate
that the general student body
graduation rate at PSAC member
institutions is over eight points
higher than the average Division
II public institution (50.6% to

42%).

The average Division II student body graduation rate is 44%;
over six points lower than PSAC

schools are graduating studentathletes at a rate higher than thc

Division II average. Furthermore,
12 of the 14 PSAC schools have
a higher overall graduation rate
