ATM in Bentley dining hall.
Sarah M. Wojcik
Staff Reporter
Law enforcement believes
they are close to an arrest in the
case of the fraudulent robberies
that have occurred numerous
times at the PUB's ATM
machine.
Exact numbers could not be
given, but Law Enforcement
suspects that a man has
approached four or more students that were using the ATM
at the PUB this semester.
Each case occurred in a similar fashion with a man
approaching the student and
asking if they could cash a
check for him since he had lost
his debit card. If the student
obliged, they would give him
the proper amount only to discover that the check was no
good.
Law Enforcement Chief
Heppner warned of the danger
of ever doing a favor such as
this for a stranger.
"If they don't know a person, I cannot emphasize enough,
do not cash their checks,"
Heppner said.

The frequency of the
attempts reflects the desire of
LHU students to be helpful to
strangers, but when money is
involved Heppner cautions students to be more vigilant.
"It's happened more than we
wanted it to," he added.
Similar incidents occurred
late last semester, but according
to Heppner, those incidents led
the police nowhere.
This semester, however, has
been more successful for Law
Enforcement.
"We've been able to develop
some leads that led us to this
point," Heppner said, adding
that in addition to the man that
has been carrying out the fraud.
Law Enforcement also has a
number of "people of interest"
that they believe are involved.
While Law Enforcement is
making progress on the case, at
least one of the victim's parents
wondered why more was not
done to inform the students
about the incident.
"I very much feel that all
students should be aware ofthe
situation so that they can be on
their guard," a victim's mother

.

While there were articles
and warnings posted last semester regarding the incidents, very
little was publicized during the
current semester.

Vice President of Student
Affairs Linda Koch sent an
email to students last semester,
but the warning about the fraud
was attached to a larger email
which dealt with the final listing
of all course offerings for tutoring and many students dismissed it. says the victim's
mother, and that it was easy to
sec why.
Koch recently sent a more
noticeable warning Tuesday.
One ofthe victims expressed
impatience
with
Law
Enforcement's efforts to find the
perpetrator, who she claims was
caught on tape.
An arrest in this case will
bring some closure lo victims of
the fraud as well as a sense of
safety to the rest ofcampus, but
Law Enforcement encourages
students to learn from these
unfortunate incidents and to be
on guard against such fraudulent
attempts in the future.

Protestors handed out flyers
and protested peacefully in front
of Fisher Hall at IUP Thursday,
Oct. 6. showing the Chancellor
of PSSHE that they are not content with the current situation.
This came from growing
tensions and frustrations by
members of SCUPA (State
College University Personnel
Association) about their contracts and the stability of their
jobs.
IUP resident personnel are
not in favor of the plans to
demolish some ofthe 15 current
resident halls and replace them
with privately owned apartment-style buildings like LHU's
own Evergreen Commons.
The demolition of lUP's
Wahr Hall is slated for summer
2006. The plan will decrease the
number of resident halls there
from 15 to 13.
Even though 8 of the 14
State schools are in plans such
as this, this project is considered
the most ambitious at a cost of
$250 million.
There are also governments
in the counties ofthese universities who are challenging the
right of these apartments to be
tax exempt. Universities having
buildings challenged arc Lock

Career services helps with resumes
Brandy L Rissmiller
Staff Reporter
Resumes are often the first
introductions to prospective
employers and can be very
nerve-racking for students to
compile. Luckily, for Lock
Haven University students, help
is on the way.
On Tuesday October 18th
there will be a workshop hosted
by Director of Career Services.
Joan Welker, at 7 p.m. in the
PUB Meeting Room 2.
Welker will hold the workshop "Writing the Perfect
Resume." If students already
have resumes they are urged to
bring them along to the workshop to have them critiqued
afterwards.
Resumes allow students to
present their best characteristics
and past successes to an
employer in ways which
demonstrate the potential for
further success.
The resume should show a
sense of career direction, present students' responsibilities and
achievements and reflect examples oftheir transferable skills.
Students need to list their
identifying information, objective, education, experience and
reference's statement. They also

have the option of listing their
special skills, certificates or
licensees, community service,
honors, activities and memberCommon errors found in the
identifying information category include the lack of a permanent address and telephone
number. Students are recommended to include their present
and permanent addresses if a
change in residence is expected.
Students should list their e-mail
addresses and the telephone
number that they use most often
and make sure voice mail
recordings are appropriate.
Objectives are brief statements reflecting the type of job
or career that students are currently pursuing. If students are
interested in more than one job
or career field then they should
modify the objective.
Students should include the
name of their college, degree,
major and date of graduation in
the education portion of their
resumes.
Students should also include
their GPA if it is a 3.0 or higher.
Under the education category students can also include curriculum highlights and related
coursework, additional workshops, certificates and licenses
and independent study or signif-

leant projects.

LHU food service manager
addresses students' questions
Sarah M. Wojcik
Staff Reporter
In order to familiarize herself with campus student leaders, Gail Hanson, the LHU food
service manager, attended last
Wednesday's SCC meeting and
faced the senate body in a 15minutc question and answer session.
Candace Clauss, head of the
Food Service Committee had
convinced Hanson to attend an
SCC meeting so that she could
hear more about the students'
concerns with the new food
service provider, Aramark.
Hanson confronted issues on
line chaos, prices, meal equivalencies and more. On most
issues she admitted that she was
aware of the problem and steps
to solve it were being enacted.
Easy to read menus are to be
posted in various places
throughout the cafeteria to alert
students as to where certain
items will be served, according
to Hanson.
By calling the Food Hotline
at extension 3990 students can
listen to the day's menu choices,
however Hanson would also like
to see this feature available
online along with nutritional
information.
Problems with prices are
much more difficult to address,
but Hanson expressed sympathy
for the students and offered to
do a competitive price analysis
with nearby restaurants.
The process of actually
changing the prices would be a
longer procedure, but if it can be
done Hanson said that she
would like to see such change.
Senators also addressed
troubles with food heating, with
which Hanson was quick to
reply.
"We have encountered the
heating problem," she said,
adding that measures to correct
the problem are already being
put into action.
Hanson also explained that
food made by the food service

are able to count for a meal but
anything sold by a vendor must
be paid for with cash or flex.
Changing this would require
changes in the contract with
which the university agreed to
last year.
Students also wondered why
this year, unlike last, they are
not permitted to make their own
food.
The concern was met with
explanations regarding the safety. Hanson clarified that because
the food service is new and still
learning about the wants and
needs of the students such privileges are slower to develop.
By attending the meeting,
Hanson believed that she was
taking the steps to understand
such wants and needs.
Once the session was over,
students expressed their gratitude at Hanson having taken the
time to address them and their
concerns.
Hanson found that the questions and remarks voiced at the
meeting were very similar to
those that she has heard at various other meetings as well as
written comments that she had
received. The consistency is a
good thing, according to
Hanson.
"This way we can focus on
those needs in order to meet the
expectations of the student," she
said.
Other developments of the
evening included the appointment ofa chairperson to the ad
hoc Lighting Committee.
Sophomore Shara Ruffin
will be in charge ofthe committee, is required to havea report
within a month about what it has
investigated the quality of current campus lighting. Ruffin is
enthused about the new position.
"The goals of this committee, in my view, will increase
safety for students on campus
and make them more comfortable in their surroundings,"
Ruffin said, adding that,
"Students should feel comfortable to walk around areas of
campus that are well lit."

But according to privacy
advocates, the records are being
made available to too many
government officials, and
uncertainty over how the samples are being handled, recorded and secured in state and federal agencies is leaving open
potential for abuse.
Individual states began to
maintain their own DNA registries for criminals in the late
1990s. Initially samples were
only taken from arrestees convicted of sex offenses, but since
that time state and federal legislation has expanded the use of
DNA registries to include DNA
information of other convicted
criminals.
If passed, Kyi's proposal
would be the first in the nation
to permit the collection of DNA
from people not convicted of
crimes.
Kyi's measure was added as
an amendment to a bill to
strengthen penalties for violent
acts against women.

Jaclyn Schiff
DC BUREAU

WASHINGTON - A new bill
could force suspects arrested or
detained by federal authorities
to give samples of their DNA
for storage in a central database.
Current law permits federal
authorities to collect DNA samples from individuals convicted
ofcrimes to store in an FBI registry. Law enforcement officials
compare DNA in the registry to
samples found at crime scenes.
But a bill sponsored by Sen.
John Kyi, R-Ariz., and Sen.
John Cornyn, R-Tex., would go
beyond that by allowing DNA
samples to be collected from
suspects who may never be
convicted of a crime.
The proposed law would
require arrestees who are not
convicted to petition to have
their information removed from
the database after their cases
arc resolved.
The bill which was recently
approved by the Senate
Judiciary Committee and has
support from the White House;
it is pending a vote on the floor.
According to its sponsors,
the bill would prevent some
crimes and help law enforcement officials solve others
more efficiently.
"When police retrace the
history of a serial predator after
he is finally caught, they often
find that he never had a prior
criminal conviction, but did
have a prior arrest," Kyi said in
a statement. "That means the
only way they are likely to
catch such a perpetrator after
his first crime rather than his
tenth
is if authorities can
maintain a comprehensive database ofall those who are arrested, just as we do with fingerprints."

Government increases credit card
payments to alleviate debt problem
Jason Gallagher
Daily Kent Stater

-

Jim Donahue, spokesman
for MBNA, said that his company will start requiring at least
1 percent of the minimum outstanding balance, in addition to
interest and fees, by the end of
this year.
What does the change mean
in simple terms? Families with
an outstanding balance of
$10,000 will now have to pay
$400 a month instead of $200.
College students with a $1,000
balance will now pay $20 more
than before.
$20 can buy a lot oframen.
Still, there are indeed some
long term benefits from the
new rules.
"Anybody that doesn't have
credit at this point or people
that are not living from payday
to payday, it's going to help
them because they're paying
less interest in the long run,"
said Judy Booth, program manager at Kent Credit Counseling
Services. "The problem is
where they're counting on that
minimum payment being at 2
percent."
A larger bill isn't the only
change consumers will see on
their statements. The government will make another change
to help consumers understand
the problems behind credit card
debt.
Credit card companies will
soon be required to post a
warning on the statement that
notifies the consumer how long
he will be in debt if he makes
only the minimum payment.
Booth said most people
she's encountered are not aware
ofthe changes.
"Most of the people we
have coming in are people this
has already happened to." she
said. "Most people are not
aware of this. I think what's
happening is that the first ones
(the credit companies) have
pulled is anyone that has been
slow with payments."

KENT, Ohio Consumers
could be in for a nasty surprise
the next time they open their
credit card statement.
Credit card companies are
being forced by the federal
government to raise the minimum monthly payment they
demand of their customers, in
some cases by as much as double the current amount.
The government has grown
increasingly concerned about
the amount of debt Americans
arc carrying and these new regulations aim to alleviate that
problem. By paying off more of
their outstanding balance with
each payment, consumers will
get out of debt faster.
Under guidelines issued by
a division of the Treasury
Department two years ago,
minimum payments must be
high enough to cover both
interest charged by the creditor
and at least some amount ofthe
outstanding balance. All card
issuers are required to adopt
this policy by 2006.
While the government has
good intentions in mind with
this new policy, some consumer advocates are concerned
that consumers already heavily
in debt might not be able to
handle the additional charges.
"1 can't believe they'd be
doing this to the American public all at the same time, said Jo
Czirok, office manager at Falls
Consumer Credit in Akron.
"The group this is really going
to affect is college kids.
College kids have a lot ofcredit cards."
In past years, the average
minimum payment required on
credit cards was about 2 percent,

Study indicates Gars1 brains made up differently
Elaine Wu
Daily Trojan (USC)

-

LOS ANGELES
Ever
wonder why some people are
just so much better at lying? A
new University of Southern
California study suggests that
the brains of some people are
simply more wired for deception.
In the first study of its kind,
researchers have found that
there are structural abnormalities in the brains of people who
habitually lie, cheat and manipulate others.
Pathological liars have more
white matter and less gray matter in the prefrontal cortex of
their brains, which is located
right behind the forehead,
according to the study published in the October issue of
the
British
Journal
of
Psychiatry. White matter speeds
neural connectivity between
brain cells, enabling quick and
complex thinking, while gray
matter ~ the brain cells that are
connected by white matter
plays a role in mediating inhibitions.
In other words, if each part
of the human brain were analogous to several computers
working together, then "white
matter is the networking that
connects the computers together," said USC psychology professor Adrian Raine, one of the
principal researchers leading
the study. Raine headed a team
that included researchers from
USC's psychology department,
the Keck School of Medicine
and Hillside Hospital in New
York.
A group of 108 subjects
underwent extensive psychological tests and the individuals
were grouped into three categories: Those who had a history
of repeated lying, those who
exhibited levels of antisocial
behavior but had no history of

—

pathological lying and those
who were normal controls.
Subjects were then scanned
using Magnetic Resonance
Imaging to obtain detailed
structural images of their brain
tissue.
The results showed that liars
had a 22 percent increase in prefrontal white matter and a 14.2
percent decrease in gray matter
compared to the control group.
What these findings essentially
suggest is that liars have a better-adapted brain for, well,
lying.
"Compared to normal people, they have better connectivity between neural cells, which
gives them a better ability to
lie," said Ya-Ling Yang, head
author ofthe study.
"Having reduced gray matter in the prefrontal cortex
affects decision-making skills,
judgment and morals," she said.
"We predict that aside from
having a better ability to lie,
these people lack control. They
find it hard to control the tendency to keep telling lies."
The prefrontal cortex of the
brain is involved in executive
functions, such as the ability to
plan, make complex decisions
and regulate and suppress emo"Lying is a cognitively complex process," Rainc said.
"Creating a lie involves many
factors, and to do it we need to
use these executive functions. It
seems that pathological liars
have a natural advantage to
lying. They have the infrastructure to support it."
That is not to say that all
people with this structural
abnormality are pathological
liars.
"Just because you have
more white matter doesn't mean
you have pathological lying tendencies. There arc a lot of normal people with a lot of white
matter who don't lie," Raine

said. "These findings suggest
that more white matter might
give you a predisposition for
lying by raising the odds of
going in that direction."
"The causes of what makes
a pathological liar are complex," he said. "We are stumbling onto one piece of the
answer to why people become
liars."
Raine pointed out that
everyone has a tendency to lie.
In everyday life people use
small white lies to facilitate and
smooth social interactions, he
said.
"This is a behavior that is
found in all human beings,"
Yang said.
"But it's only when people
use lies significantly to deceive
and manipulate others for personal gain that we classify them
as pathological liars," Rainc
said.
Although previous studies
have been done on the effect of
lying in the brains of normal
people, this is the first time a
study has been done-on pathological liars. Other studies have
also been done on the abilities
ofboth autistic and non-autistic
children to lie. In the brains of
non-autistic children, white

fake illness for financial benefits, for businesses to screen
potential employers and for
police interrogations.
"One of the questions is
whether brain-imaging techniques will eventually take over
for the usual method for detecting lies, which are polygraphs,"
Rainc said.
Polygraphs work by measuring physical responses like
increased heart rate and sweat
in liars, but the problem with
polygraphs is that there are a lot
of false positives. Rainc said.
USC Keck School of
Medicine professor Patrick
Colletti. a member of the
research team, said he expected
the current study would pave
the way for new studies investigating the prefrontal cortex.
"I would look for a series of
studies that would affect the
prefrontal area. One could look
at a variety of other disorders,
such as depression," he said.
But researchers warn the
results oftheir study are not 100
percent conclusive.
"Our paper needs more
study to see if it can be replicated," said Yang.

basically what it says. We are to
honor our parents no matter
what they ask of us.
We had a three day vacation
this past weekend, so I decided
to head home and visit my parents and younger brother, who
live about three hours away
from the University.
Now I don't know about
some people, but I know that 1
was one of those teenagers that
just did not get along with her
parents. I remember this past
summer I could not wait to get
to college just so I could be
away from my parents. But now
as I look back on that, I feel
foolish for thinking that way. I
can understand why I did in
some situations, but in most of
them 1 was taking advantage of
my family and was not ready to
face the fact that within a matter
of weeks I would only be talking
to them on the phone and not
seeing them face to face for
quite a long time.
Of course then I thought that
was the greatest thing ever, but

again. 1 wasn't prepared for the
things 1 was about to face without them.
I remember crying for days
after move-in day at the
University. Every time something came at me 1 just kept
thinking "1 want to go home to
my family." But of course,
being a freshman with no car on
campus or any way of getting
home, I was stuck facing my
problems without the help of my
parents.
But during those times of
misery I was facing without my
parents. 1 realized God was trying to teach me something and
just how important family can
and must be. I took advantage
ofmy parents while growing up,
and I never really understood
that until now.
1 wasn't so sure about being
in a new environment other than
my own room at home, nor the
fact of having to share a room
for the first time. For the first
few weeks I found myself calling home to complain about
these things and more to my parents. But as the school year
went on, I seemed to understand
that the way I was acting
towards them just wasn't right.
It was a slow process, but I suddenly found myself calling them
less and less just to complain or
when I needed them to get me
something or I needed more

Act of faith involves doubting yourself
To the editor:

This letter is in response to The Weekly Devotional of October 5, 2(X)5 entitled "Doubt and Faith." The writer ofthis column starts off
by statingthat with a negative attitude success is impossible. I agree with that statement. To succeed in any endeavor you must, first, believe
that you can do it. However, her advice for how to succeed is better described as advice for how to fail. Why? Because it puts the responsibility ofthe success on God and takes it offofthe shoulders of the one who wants to succeed.
The writer goes on to tell a quite ridiculous story ofa high school student who is confused about the existence of God. Her argument
for why she now believes in God is basically this: If you pray to God for proof ofhis existence and find a perfect flower (wh at is a perfect
flower, really?) on your driveway in January and leave it in your yard and it is still there when you return, then God exists. Convincing,
right? Obviously, that is an absolutely absurd argument and really isn't relevant to advising people on how to have a positive attitude.
Her advice on how to have a positive attitude and how to succeed is, basically, that if you pray you will succeed. Such a statement
inevitably leads one to failure. If you want to succeed you must take the responsibility ofthat success on your shoulders. Prayer is for the
weak and incapable. Think about it. If you knew you could succeed then why would you pray? People pray because they feel that their
situation is out oftheir control. They feel that they are incapable, which sounds to me like they have a negative attitude. They believe that
no matter what they do they cannot succeed, so they will beg God to do it for them and that is when they will fail.
Success does not come from divine intervention. It comes from human action and is experienced by those who are willing to take the
responsibility oftheir life on their shoulders and make it want they want it to be. If you do not have a plan to achieve what you want to
achieve then you will achieve nothing.
As Jean-Paul Sartre once said, "Man is nothing else than his plan; he exists only to the extent that he fulfills himself; he is therefore
nothing else than the ensemble of his acts, nothing else than his life." Getting on your knees and praying to a deity for assistance is not a
plan and is surely no way to define your life. Sniffing dead flowers and believing that God "loves you more than anyone in the world" for
confidence, will get you nowhere.
Instead envision what it is that you want, figure out what it is you need to do to get it, and go get it. Use your desire as your drive, not
a false sense of confidence from a symbolic object. If you fail, which we, in many things, will, then take a step back and reevaluate your
desires and if they are still desirable, reevaluate the actions you thought would get you there and didn't.
Failure is an excellent situation to evaluate your actions and find the best way to get to where you want to be. Praying to Go d for some
sort of direct revelation is a cop out. Success, be it academic or career, is within our means as humans. We simply have to be up to the

against something.
I am astonished that one of

our dear professors has come
down from the ivy tower of
knowledge to share another
piece of opinion, not information, on a subject. This time it is
on our student newspaper.
However, our beloved professor did not realize this is a
student newspaper. This newspaper is printed in Williamsport
and put together by a fine staff
of student reporters that are
located in the Parson's Student
Union Building. They receive
funding from the Student
Cooperative Council, not the
State System of Higher
Education. The SCC is self
funded off of the bookstore and
their own applied activity fee.
Therefore Dr. Podol, ifyou have
been picking up my many hints
the University is not emphasizing the weekly article; the students who provide money for
you to get paid have emphasized
the article.
As a matter of fact, since
you seem to know so much
about the demographics on this
campus, can you tell me what is
one of the largest clubs, if not
the largest is? Pardon me, but oh
Heavens! It is New Life. The
group that is devout in worshipping Jesus Christ. I thought you
might have seen that from your
tower. The second item I would
like to bring before you honorable Podol, is the fact that at
least 80% of Americans claim
their belief in the Christian God.
Hold on now, that means that
statistically 8 out of 10 people in
your class believe in this horrible myth. This also means that
4/5 ofthe campus also believes.
It seems the statistics are against
you Dr. Podol.
It also tickles me about how
you throw out the Constitution

Being offended doesn't mean the
article should be taken out. I am
offended by many things that
are constitutionally protected.
You seem to forget freedom of
the press, speech, and any other
item on the Bill of Rights that
protects this article when you
are offended. You can, however,
fight back. You have the right to
boycott the article. Many people
who believe in killing life
through abortions have a slogan:
if you don't want an abortion,
don't get one. Well 1 think that
applies here. If you don't like the
article, don't look at it.
I am also astonished that you
have not a clue what diversity
means. It doesn't mean hating
Christians. It actually means
celebrating how unique we are
as a species on this planet.
Everyone is different. As a
country of freedom and liberty,
we should be all able to pronounce our pride in what we
believe. I don't think shutting
Christians out of the fold is celebrating diversity. We might not
like everything that is being celebrated, but we are also not
required to celebrate with them.
Maybe the term you ought to
study is tolerance. Since about
80% of the campus claims they
believe in a Christian God, then
1 think it isn't a shock that we
have this weekly article. I hope
the student newspaper decides
to keep their publication an
example of the use of the
Constitution ofthe United States
through freedom ofreligion and
press. I look forward to next
week's article.

To the editor:

heard too. The article Dr. Podol
says is offensive simply states
that many feel that we (fellow
Americans) should not help
them, but that they should help
themselves.
Only last year. Lock Haven
and surrounding areas had their
own flooding and several areas
"National
were
declared
Disaster" areas, thus allowing
those affected to receive Federal
funding. Those who do not
want us to help Katrina and Rita
victims are saying our neighbors
should not have been helped in
our hour of need. This is wrong
and goes against what we do as
Americans and some of us do as
Christians.
I was very pleased to see that
the Eagle Eye did keep "The
Weekly Devotional" running
and pray that they will continue.
If you are truly offended by
"The Weekly Devotional" then I
simple suggest that when you
see the title (always clearly
marked) simply do not read that
area. It is not the intent of the
Christian to alienate anyone, but
in the name of acceptance, do
not silence our voice.
A Christian Voice
within the LHU Community,

Why do diversity, social
acceptance and equal tolerance
end when God. Christian, or
other Christian terms come into
the picture? 1 am referring to
the "'Devotional' doesn't honor
diversity" letter that appeared in
kst week's Eagle Eye.
I greatly appreciate that the
Eagle Eye has finally given a
voice to the Christian community that does exist at LHU. This
university claims to be diverse,
accepting to all who enter its
domain and yet, once again,
someone is complaining that
their rights are being violated
because the article "The Weekly
Devotional" appears.
As a Christian there are
many articles that appear every
week that I find to be vulgar and
offensive to me. but I do not say
a word because I practice
accepting people as individuals
who have a right to believe or
not believe in the God I profess,
so 1 simply skip those articles.
Dr. Podol is correct that
Katnna is a real concern and
Christians are concerned for
their citizens as well, but that
does not mean we are to keep
those concerns quiet. Christians
have a point of view on worldly
events and our voice should be

To the editor:
I am writing in response to
Dr. Peter Podol's staunch criticism
of
Weekly
"The
Devotional" in the October 5
edition of The Eagle Eye. Dr.
Podol claims he wants diversity
in The Eagle Eye. but he does
not want the inclusion of views
that diverge from his own.
In order for the paper to be
truly diverse wouldn't all views
need to be included? By calling
for a removal ofreligious content from The Eagle Eye, Dr.
Podol is attempting to deny
someone their right to express
themselves religiously.

blinded by his own animosity
towards Christianity that he has
forgotten what the very definition of diversity is? Diversity in
The Eagle Eye means that there
is room for multiple views, religious or secular.
While I don't necessarily
agree with the content of "The
Weekly Devotional," the views
of the columnist have every
right to be published.
One last factor that maybe
Dr. Podol is unaware of is that
the column appears in a section
called OPINION.

On Thursday, Dr. Schulze. a
health science professor, provided the LHU faculty with
important tips about how to
attain government giants to
teach abroad and other details
about his time spent in the
Lugansk Ukraine.
From January to June of
2005. Dr. Schulze was based at
the Lugansk State Medical
University and taught at the
National
Pedagogical
University. Schulze went to the
Ukraine because of the country's need for health science
professors.
He went into the Medical
University thinking he was
going to teach an Introduction
to Public Health class, but
ended up being assigned to two
sections of a Public Health
Ethics class, each section having approximately 75 students.
At the Medical University
he also conducted an open lecture series for physicians,
taught an advanced English
class, and gave English lessons
to the University's Russian
speaking professors.
Along with sharing his
experiences in the Ukraine, Dr.
Schulze also gave background
and insight into the country. He
commented that he was surprised how poor the people
were and how fortunate people
in the U.S are.
The Ukrainian people have
to deal with many shortages on
a daily basis including gas and
food shortages. Dr. Schulze
even experienced a running
water shortage while visiting
the country. Many of the technologies that American students
view as part of everyday life are
true luxuries to the average

Ukrainian.
The
Medical
University in Lugansk, for
example, had one television and
one DVD player for its 3,000
students. The University had a
lab that held only ten computers
with internet access which was
rarely open for student or faculty use.
Schulze was given the
opportunity to go to the Ukraine
by
winning a Fulbright
Scholars Program award.
Fulbright is a program funded
by the state department that
sends 800 faculty and professionals abroad each year.
Fulbright award winners travel
to 140 countries worldwide.
This program sends faculty to
teach, conduct lecture series,
and do research with international colleagues. Any professor who is a permanent resident
of the United States and has a
doctorate is eligible for a
Fulbright Scholars Program
award.
Dr. Schulze received his
award and grant to travel to the
Ukraine after submitting his
first application. Throughout
the presentation, he gave several tips on how to get accepted
by the program. His advice
included: having good references, being specific with a
goal and destination, and
demonstrate cultural sensitivity.
Other tips can be found at
www.cies.org.
The director of the Institute
of International Studies, Daniel
Roberts, discussed several of
the programs available with the
interested staff members present for his informational program. Roberts touched on different opportunities that varied
from year long to week long
stays in 20 different countries.
Lock Haven currently has 32
international partners that span

study, think and share ideas.

Professor shares Ukraine experience
Adam Roberts
Guest Writer

If you are having trouble
with that term paper, are not
sure what MLA and APA style
is, or have any other writing
questions, then the Writing
Center in Raub 409 can help.
The Writing Center is a
tutoring service which is available at no charge for all Lock
Haven University students.
The primary purpose of the
Writing Center is to help students develop their composition
while providing face to face
tutorials, writing resources and
technology to complete their
assignments.
"Our goal in all cases is to
help students to become more
confident and independent writers," said Dr. Richard Van
Dyke, supervisor ofthe Writing
Center. "In the process, we also
hope to build enthusiasm for
writing as a primary means to
be actively engaged in the college experience."

When walking into the
Writing Center, students can
expect to get more than just
assistance with their writing.
Students have access to a full
range of writing resources to
help complete assignments.
"At the center, students
work with students, build lasting conversations and learn
from each other. When working
at its best, the center nurtures a
writing culture across campus,"
said Van Dike.
There are writing tutorials
for students in any class on
campus at any stage ofthe writing process, from interpreting
the assignment to brainstorming
ideas through final editing and
proofreading stages.
There is also self-instructional aids including print and
on-line reference materials and
handouts, help and assistance
with basic office-type or word
processing applications, computer, printer and photocopier
access and table space and a
friendly student environment to

six continents. LHU's partner
Universities include three in
China, four in Spain, and several in Western Europe.
The most common program
that the International Studies
Institute offers LHU faculty is a
semester or year long exchange.
Roberts described this option as
a challenge but stated that it
was an enormous opportunity.
The semester and year long
stays in other countries are
much like the bed for bed
exchanges that are offered to
students.
A faculty member who
wants to take advantage of this
program needs to submit a proposal to Lock Haven stating
which partner University they
would be interested in teaching
at and what they would do
there. If a professor from the
partner University cannot be
found in that department who
wants to travel to LHU, it is still
possible for faculty members to
work at the institute of their
choosing.
The other three programs
Roberts discussed are for a considerably shorter time period,
and is for professors to work on
a lecture or conduct research
with an international colleague.
A new program that is
growing very rapidly is the new
faculty internationalization program established in 2003. This
program provides LHU faculty
with hands on experience
abroad. Traveling to partner
Universities gives the new staff
an opportunity to connect and
appreciate partnerships. The
Institute for International
Studies would like to provide
every member of the LHU faculty with some form ofinternational experience in the next ten
years.

Sam Engard predicted the

California
University and Slippery Rock
University were going to be
tough, but she believed the
women's soccer team could do
it.
"If we play like last week I
predict that we will come out
with two great wins this week,"
said the sophomore midfielder.
Engard was half right.
On Wednesday Lock Haven
defeated California, 2-0 in an
exciting match. In the 12th
minute of the first half, sophomore Colleen Kafka continued
her dominance and scored
Lock Haven's first goal. The
forward's goal came off an

The loss came at the hands
of a very tough Rider
University team, by the score
of 2-1. It was a defensive battle throughout the first half
until Rider's Tricia Crotty
knocked one in the goal to
give the Broncos a 1-0 lead
going into halftime.
Crotty added another goal
early in the second half to
give Rider a 2-0 lead.
Lock Haven valiantly battled back as they got within a
goal via the stick of Rebecca

The Haven ran out of time

the win. The defenses by both
squads were superb, only
allowing five shots a piece.

Baseball has lost its luster.
No, I'm not saying that because my beloved Orioles have not had a winning
season in almost a decade or because the entire American League East has
been eliminated from the playoffs; I'm saying it because it is no longer
America's pastime.
It would not be so bad if the players still had some type of honor and commitment to their teams, but like all sports, baseball has turned from a sport into
a business.
You cannot sit around and root for a team anymore because that seed of
doubt is in the back of everybody's mind. Is he on steroids? If he goes down,
will he take a teammate with him? Will he be back next season or go find the
highest bidder?
No teams exist in the MLB. The current situation says that whoever has the
most money will buy the best team. Very few franchise players exist. They all
chase after the all-mighty buck with total disregard to their teammates and
fans.
Things have always been that way, I realize this, but there is no more team
loyalty. Raphael Palmeiro lied about taking steroids, and then tried to bring
Miguel Tejada- the ultimate team player- down with him.
The fact of the matter is that America's pastime has lost its appeal. We are
no longer content to sit in front of the TV for three hours to watch a bunch of
juiced up wife beaters swing for the fences. We need action and excitement,
not intentional walks and pop outs.
The NFL season is well under way and hopefully the baseball season will
come to a close shortly. To watch a baseball game in November is absurd.
For years to come, baseball's homerun records will be a source of controversy; for one, they now play 162 games a season as opposed to the 154 they
used to play; and with the nasty steroid allegations flying around, everyone
looking at the record books down the road will have to ask themselves if
America's pastime has been tarnished.

"Joe must go!"
These words have been chanted by numerous Penn State football fans the last few
/ears.

He is too old.
He has lost the respect of his players.
He can't recruit.
He can't win.
"Joe must go!"
Yeah right, I don't think so.
Joe Paterno and his Nittany Lions are back and business is good for the boys in
lappy Valley after beating their second ranked opponent in two games.
This past weekend No. 8 Penn State upset No. 6 Ohio State and won 17-10. PSU
mproved to 6-0 and have earned their highest National ranking since 1999.
After their dominating 44-14 win two weeks ago against No. 18 Minnesota I was
:xcited, but not yet sold on this Penn State team. I felt Minnesota was overrated and
was just too good to be true for Nittany Lion fans.
As a Penn State fan, 1 could not be happier with a win over Ohio State, but what
hould we really think? The defense dominated again for the Nittany Lions, but was
)hio State really any good? I don't think so. In my opinion they were extremely, and
mean extremely overrated. So it's hard to get a good idea of how good this Penn State
earn is now, and how good they can be.
Now 3-0 in the Big Ten, PSU has three big games on the horizon. Next week they
ravel to Michigan, and then host No. 23 Wisconsin, before ending the season at No.
6 Michigan State.
How big are these games? Penn State beat Northwestern, who topped Wisconsin
liis past weekend, while Minnesota, a team the Nittany Lions romped beat Michigan.
The Big Ten is going to be very interesting as the season rolls on.
One thing is certain, the Nittany Lions have showed they are back and ready to play
Ath the top teams in the country again, finally.
The best part of the win had to be the crowd. A crowd of over 109,000 fans showed
p to cheer on their beloved Nittany Lions.
It was a much different scene at Hubert Jack Stadium as Lock Haven fell to
hippensburg University in front of a whopping 100 fans. Just one week ago for the
irst time in my four years here, it looked like a big game atmosphere inside the staium, but this week a completely different story.
Only about six members of the Eagle's Nest showed up and not even our mascot
howed up.
No mascot?
How do we expect to win without a mascot?
I guess everybody's minds were on the big game down the road.

In any Tim Burton
film, there are three elements that are nearly
always present; said elements are, in fact, such
consistent ones that one
might shape a '"Unified
Tim Burton Film Field

Theory."

The

three

components of the theory are that 1.) a Tim

Burton
film must
always have an inventive visual sense, 2.) a
Tim Burton film must
always have a quirky or
mildly off-kilter take on
reality and, 3.) a Tim
Burton
must

always feature a killer
sound-track, whether it
be original to the film or
picked by Burton. Tim
Burton film's success
revolves around adherence to
these elements. This prelude is

Their sound is more appropriate for a Volkswagen commercial or a coffeehouse show
than for any type ofmainstream
media, but that is a part of the
charm they're counting on to
survive. When you hear their
music, you can't help but picture a car full of teenage girls,
cruising along a back country
road with the top down and a
Starbucks cappuccino in each
hand. Or you might see a dimly
lit, smoke-filled room in HaightAshbury- the epicenter of the
60's hippie movement- with a
little group of anonymous
women on stage, pouring their
hearts out about the ills of society. Either vision would be
appropriate, given the duality of
the group and the sort of contradictory persona they exude. On
one hand you have a group of
self-proclaimed hippies, making
their own music and not caring
about what society thinks, but
on the other, you have a group
of women selling albums in
Starbucks and many other
multi-national corporations.
The band is Antigone Rising
and their debut album "From
The Ground Up" is causing a
stir across the country.
They marketed themselves

for the indie hipster, pseudointellectual crowd found at
Starbucks, and rightfully so;
their sound is less mainstream

and more fitting for that sort of
counterculture demographic; a
demographic they have been
catering to for years. It just so
happens that their style is reminiscent ofthe 60*s and they happened to have been born a generation too late.
Antigone Rising is a female
quintet from the New York metropolitan area, and the fact that
their sound can be classified as
anything from country to soft
rock makes them all the more
interesting. But being interesting docs not sell records. Lead
singer Cassidy. who gives no
surname, is the driving force
behind the band. Her piercing
vocals sound like a mixture of
Sarah McLachlan and Melissa
Ethcridge, and that is fitting
given their affinity for independence and strength.
"From The Ground Up" is
an hour long unplugged performance, recorded in front of a
live audience. Originally sold
exclusively at Starbucks locations, the album hit stores
nationwide on Sept. 13 and has
already sold well over 100,000
copies. The band has made
appearances on The Tonight
Show with Jay Leno as well as
being a featured artist on VHI.
They seem like they would be
more at home playing shows
like the now-defunct Lilith Fair
tour than prancing around on a

major network, but once again
their duality comes into play.
Obviously they are talented
musicians, but the songs all

sound the same, and their success is based partly on their
image. They try to put off this
image of wanting nothing more
than to do their own thing and
be successful on their own
terms, but then go ahead and
"'sell out" when the time comes
to get big.

That is my only beef with
this album; they seem to try a bit
too hard to be hip, but end up
coming otY as pretenders. Who
sells their records exclusively at
Starbucks? People looking to
seem hip and different, that's
who.
As a whole, the album is
decent. They open the with
"Hello." which is by tar the best
song in their repertoire, and
close it out with "Broken," a
typical song about overcoming
teen angst.

That is who this album will
appeal to; teenage girls with a
lot of time on their hands and a
lot of money in their pockets,
but for the rest of us, this album
serves as nothing more than
background music. You know
an album is weak when you
realize you have listened to half
of it and can't name a single
memorable part.
Sure, we may see more out
of this band in the future, but
they can only survive on image
for so long. Hopefully they can
maintain a unique style but also
grow as musicians. If not, they
might fade away into obscurity
once their 15 minutes is up.

A tribute at the Apollo
Jessica Stokes
Features Editor
The
Distinguished
Gentlemen held their third
annual "Night at the Apollo" on
Friday, Oct. 7 at 9 p.m. in Price
Auditorium.
The event was organized to
showcase student talent at the
university and was designed to
resemble the popular television
show "Showtime at the Apollo,"
a show based out of Harlem at
the famous Apollo Theatre.
The talent show was comprised of many different acts
including singing, rapping, stepping, and even poetry reading.
In addition to the scheduled
performances, at one time during the show volunteers from
the audience we allowed to go
up on stage and show off their
own talents. Some were praised
and some were booed off stage,
but it was all for the sake of
entertainment.
The participants of this
year's show competed for first
and second place in which they
were awarded cash prizes. Each
act was judged by the amount of
audience applause that they

received. A step group consisting ofAlicia Addison, Paulette
Davidson, and Vanessa Escobar
won first place and were an
audience favorite of the night.
A female volunteer from the
audience who chose to come up
and sing her rendition of"Hero"
by Mariah Carey won the audience over as well and earned
herself second place overall.
Other acts included singing
by duo Paulette Davidson and
Charise Barbour, a solo song by
Carlicia Lomax, a step selection
by the fraternity Lamda Sigma
Upsilon. and a poetry reading by
Ebony Hackney.
One unique aspect of this
year's show was a special tribute to two past Hip-Hop performers that passed away over
the summer.
One tribute was for wouldbe LHU junior Alex Oyewole,
in which a student rapped to
some ofAlex's original lyrics on
stage. Alex passed away in his
sleep on May 27.
The other tribute was for
Lance Boykins. who would be a
sophomore this year Two students came on stage and read an
extended obituary about Lance
and his accomplishments. Lance

Unfortunately the audience was
not too pleased with their performance.
"The VMF crew seemed like
they were trying desperately to

didn't seem to warm up to them
at all," said Keri Schmid.
Overall the turnout for
Apollo night was a success for
the Distinguished Gentlemen.
"Due to the holiday weekend we weren't sure of how
many people would be here, but
we were very happy with the
turnout this year," said DG
Historian Pierson Smythe. "We
were very pleased with all the
acts."

knowing how to deal with this,
she decided to take matters into
her own hands. She proceeded
to the bell tower and attic of
Russell Hall and hung herself
from the bell tower. According
to Resident Assistant Love
Modeski, Mary hung from the
ceiling for a few weeks before
she was discovered.
After she was removed, residents noticed something not
quite right on the third floor.
Residents have noticed appliances turning on when not
plugged in, loud noises in the
middle of the night similar to a
herd of elephants, and actual
sightings of Mary wandering
the halls.

was a woman crouched behind

Love felt a strong presence in
the attic and wants an expert in
the building to communicate
with Mary. Love has not experienced anything personally,
eventhough she lives next door
to Mary's old room, where the
ghost tends to cause mischief.
There have been reports ofa
gentleman that haunts the basement ofRussell, tending to stay
near the laundry room. Love
noticed one night when she

proceeded to the basement to
do her rounds that the main
door to that section of the basement was open, even though it
had been locked a few hours
earlier. Reports say that this
gentleman will watch residents
doing their laundry and will
actually lend a hand when
needed.
It is reported that Sloan, the
fine arts building, is the occupant ofthree ghosts.
It has been said that there is
a small child in the Countdown
Theatre on the third floor. This
child likes to play tricks on the
cast by playing with the lights.
Reports also mention a woman
draped in white that watches
the theatre performances in the
main theatre. The last ghost is a
black fast moving blur ofa spirit. It is reported that this black
blur is very menacing and that
the woman in white tends to
protect students from this blur.
Stories are also told in the surrounding Lock Haven area.

them onto his masterpiece.
A page from a notebook is

subject of the scribbled page is
thoughts and musings about

how the introduction of mixed
media and collage into painting
is needed in order to bring anything new to the medium.
"Robert Rauschenberg is my
idol, and I learned from his ideas
about assemblage and collage;
that there needs to be a blurring
between the art forms in order to
create an original piece of
work," said Jim. Rauschenberg
was a member of the Beat generation in the 1950's and pioneered the use of found objects,
newsprint, and photos in his
paintings.
Chris Jones, a fellow art student, feels that Jim's most successful works incorporate the
textures and levels associated
with a multi-media approach.
"I think his piece 'The Last
Supper' is simply amazing. It
was found objectsand paint, and

it just really captured the feeling
of the famous images of The
Last Supper," he said, "I think
that putting objects into and on
his paintings is an effective
combination of both his passions."
When Jim puts photography, images from anatomy
books or newspapers into his
work, it makes the viewer
want to study it closer.
"The way he uses these
texts and images in his paintings, using them to create gradients or shapes, it makes you
want to read it. Even though
none ofhis work is really narrative in nature, you want to
get closer and figure it out,"
said Chris,
Another
acquaintance,
Martin White, has known Jim
for four years.

"He has really grown as an
artist. The topics in his paintings are more diverse than
they used to be," said Martin.
He continued by saying, "I
think that by using collage and
mixed media in his paintings,
it really helps to make them
more interesting. What I like
most about his work is the
depth and dark reality that he
portrays."
Though Jim has been at
this university for a number of
years, he is looking forward to
moving on in his career.
"I would like to focus more
on doing larger works, get into
more sculptural works. 1 have
an apprenticeship with a professional sculptor, and that
will allow me to learn so much
more about creating work. It
will be invaluable," said Jim.
