Illicit questions warrant caution
Brandy Rissmiller
Staff Reporter
While conducting job
searches and interviews, students seeking employment
may come across questions
that may be illegal or are
unnecessary in determining
your competency for the position in which you are applying.
"You need to be aware of
your rights and learn to carefully weigh your answers to
such question," said Autumn
Riley, a peer career facilitator
at Career Services, adding, "If
you choose to answer them at
all."
But what constitutes an
illegal or unnecessary question?
"Some topics that are inappropriate are giving out your
social security number before
you are hired and questions
concerning your race, color,
religion or national origin,"
said Riley.
To go along with the topic
of religion, questions about
availability to work on weekends and holidays have an

debt has become a cause for
concern from the university.
"In the past we allowed
credit card companies to
come on campus with no
problems, but as years progressed we saw more and
more students coming into
financial straits," said Rote.
Since this escalation of
debt, credit card companies
are no longer permitted to set
up tables in hopes ofrecruiting students. The only
instance where these companies can come to campus is
when they are acting as a
fundraiser for a campus club
or organization.
And even under this
instance, there are policies in
place to curb the company's
power in recruiting.
to
Dan
According
McCormick, the policy went
into place about five years
ago. Credit card companies
must only use a space in or
adjacent to the PUB or
Bentley and are not permitted
to pay the group that sponsored their presence on a per
application basis, but only
through a flat rate. This was
enacted in hopes of lessening
the aggressive nature of the
company's purpose on cam-

exclusionary effect on people
who follow certain religious
practices and should not be
asked unless they are justified
by business necessity.
Questions about fluency in
English can be a way of determining ethnicity. Questions
about language competence
are appropriate only when jobrelated.
Questions concerning your
health and whether you have
any disabilities are, for the
most part, illegal with a few
discrepancies.
"There is an exception to
that rule, however," explains
Riley. "A question that pertains to the job would be okay,
like 'can you lift a fifty-pound
box and carry it 100 feet?'"
Age, height and weight are
three more questions that are
illegal, along with questions
concerning marital status and
whether an applicant has any
children.

Allen bolsters female
leadership at forum
Stephanie LaSota
Opinion Editor
Promoting women in higher education and leadership

roles was the goal of the
Pennsylvania chapter of the
Council
of
American
Education Network forum
held in Hershey, Pa., on Oct.
29 and 30.
Dr. Cindy Allen, director
of student teaching and field
placements, was nominated by
President Keith Miller to
attend the forum, presented by
the ACE Network Office of
Women in Higher Education
and titled "Women Leaders of
the 21st Century: IDEALS
(Identifying,
Developing,
Encouraging,
Advancing,
Linking and Supporting).".
Along with the duties
attached to her title at LHU,
Allen is also the state coordinator for a Pa. grant that provides workshops for public
school health educators.
"The fall is usually a busy
time for me. We have our
workshop scheduled for the
fall and the report for the grant
is due in the spring," said
Allen.
Allen does not rule out the
pursuit of greater leadership
roles at the university level in
the future.
"I'm looking forward to
the future and seeing if there
are some doors that open," she
said. "By attending these conferences I can see what obstacles others have encountered
and can take it from there."
President Miller said that
Allen's varied experiences at
the university are helpful in
participating in such a conference.
"Dr. Allen has had a very
successful tenure at Lock
Haven University. She is well
respected amongst faculty
peers and administrative colleagues," he said.
Allen said she was excited
that President Miller sees the
importance in encouraging
faculty members to attend
conferences like this one that
celebrate and work toward
enhancing greater female roles
in university leadership.

Many university presidents presented sessions at the
two-day forum in the decadent
Hotel Hershey, including
Pennsylvania State System of
Higher Education Chancellor
Dr. Judy Hample. Allen
included Hample's name in
the list ofpowerful and influential women whom she
admired at the conference.
Allen said she most
enjoyed the female university
leaders who spoke of their
career path to the presidency.
She also enjoyed the sessions
geared toward handling budget issues for people in administrative roles.
Representatives from 29
different universities in the
state were present at the
forum, according to Allen.
The varied sessions included
topics like how to promote
more diversity at the college
level and case studies on the

.

dynamic between university

administration and their constituents.
The conference is held
every two years and Allen
acknowledges it as a great
opportunity to learn new
things and meet helpful people.
"It was a time to network,
but it was such a support
group," said Allen. "I would
definitely recommend it."

HARRISBURG
When the
Pennsylvania State System of
Higher
Education's
(PASSHE)
Board
of
Governors approved its 200708 funding request (in
October) in Harrisburg, the
pure numbers themselves did
not raise many eyebrows.
Like last year, the
PASSHE Board has voted to
ask the Commonwealth for a
6% increase in funding. Last
year's request contained an
assumption that tuition would
increase 3.1% if the appropriation request was granted.
This year, the assumption is
that tuition would increase
just 1% if the full 6% appropriation request is awarded.
The big difference this
year is that the PASSHE
claims its budget forecast and
appropriations request contains no provisions for salary
increases for faculty, coaches, staff, or campus police.

nearly 6000 faculty members

Philosophies" which appeared
in the Nov. 1 edition of the

far too often violence has been
justified in the name of God by
Christians. Further, I concur

humanity are responsible for

Under-inflated tires add to pollution ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Write a letter
to the editor.

Dear EarthTalk: Is it true
that driving with soft tires
wastes energy and results in
more pollution?
— Nanci Graham, via e-mail
When tires are not inflated
the pounds per square inch
(PSI) rating recommended by
manufacturers, they are less
"round" and require more
energy to begin moving and to
maintain speed.
As such, under-inflated
tires do indeed contribute to
pollution and increase fuel
to

costs.

An informal study by students at Carnegie Mellon
University found that the
majority of cars on U.S. roads
are operating on tires inflated
to only 80 percent ofcapacity.
According to the website,
fueleconomy.gov,
inflating
tires to their proper pressure
can improve mileage by about
3.3 percent, whereas leaving
them under-inflated can lower
mileage by 0.4 percent for
every one PSI drop in pressure
of all four tires.
That may not sound like
much, but it means that the
average person who drives

12,000 miles yearly on underinflated tires uses about 144
extra gallons of gas, at a cost of
S300-S500 a year. And each
time one of those gallons of

bine with the oxygen in the air.
As such, any vehicle running
on soft tires is contributing as
much as 1.5 extra tons (2,880
pounds) ofgreenhouse gases to
the
environment
annually.

Also, tire pressure should
be checked when tires are cold,
as internal pressure increases
when the car has been on the
road for a while, but then drops
when the tires cool back down.
It is best to check tire pressure before heading out on the

Since the clocks have fallen back and given us an extra

Expectations are high as
assignments are rushing in,
between presentations and
papers, more tests and quizzes
in a week. All ofthis seems to
happen at once. It's enough to
bring anyone to their breaking
point. I encourage you to look
at the big picture here.
College is a once in a lifetime experience that you are
fortunate to have now while
you're young. But how fortunate are we to have all of
these stresses: hair pulling,

Dependence on oil keeps U.S.
from tackling important issues
Joseph Melber
Guest Columnist

Due partly to a bustling
economy and partly to a concept coined as "American
exceptionalism," the United
States as we know it exists
somewhat as a slave to the
prices of oil.
While we drive around in
gigantic gas guzzling vehicles
along the largest highway system in the world, oil rich countries in the Middle East have
created an entity which now
has just as much sway in politics as any other organization
in history.
This
is
the
entity
Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC)
and it has held the developed
countries of the world in its
clutches for more or less of
recent history.
Technically this is a cartel,
a union of many different
firms engaged in price setting,
much like the Carnegie steel
monopoly in the history of the
U.S. before trade barriers were
made illegal by the Sherman

Due to the power over the
developing and developed
world along with the problems
that its overwhelming power
creates, OPEC's creation is my
second most detrimental event
in human history negatively
affecting today.

Joseph Melber
The amount of wasted
resources due to this price set-

past on to the consumer.
In addition, persons who
invest are left continually less
likely to do so as the continued
depreciation of currencies
sometimes out-perform the
financial securities they invest
in, thus making the consumers
in developed countries more
wasteful with their consumption than they already are.
This high importance of oil
held in the hands of so few has
an even more serious consequence that no matter how
hard politicians try to mask,
the public seems well aware of
it.
The federal government
which is in control ofthe most
powerful army in the world,
the United States, is in a continued struggle to stabilize
relations in the Middle East
while leaving more serious
matters untouched.
It is a common idea now
that the United States invaded
the state of Iraq in the name of
oil. Even if it is not the case
that the U.S. appointed dictator, Saddam Hussein (yes, he
was put in power by the
United States) was certainly

look at the owners of the oil
rights in the member countries
and their wealth will give an
exact understanding of how
much money is lost due to the
inflationary pressures of oil
prices.
Not only does the money

support the artificially set rates.

If the international community does not soon turn its
attention to this huge human
rights problem it will not turn
out like Rwanda, it will be
worse.

Finally, my moral for this
week runs along the line ofthe
value of human life, if the
United States would turn its
attention away from the
Middle East and tight in
Sudan, how high can oil prices
really go?
Most resistance fighters in
the Middle East are well
equipped, but the owners of oil
rights have massive quantities
of weapons at their disposal to
protect their investments, but
simply would rather have the
U.S. handle any situation that
comes up.
1 ask this, how high can oil
prices rise if we force oil producers to handle their own
problem: twenty cents, thirty
cents?
Are we really not willing

that really matters in Darfur?

series of ten columns concerning the top ten historic
events that have the greatest
negative impact on life today,
according to this writer.

Impatient people on campus must
learn to think more empathetically
Jamie De Angelis
Guest Writer
Picture this; you're in line
place
is jam-packed with ravenous
students. You are hungry and
you have a 12 o'clock class
you have to get to, so you are
in a hurry.
There is only one line to
pay for your food, you're the
seventh person in line, and
there is one cashier working
and it's her first day on the
job. Expectedly, you and
everyone waiting along with
you are getting antsy.
Finally, the line begins to
move and eventually there is
only one person in front of
you now. You think you are
about to be home free, but
wait, there is a problem with
how the cashier rang up a student's meal.
In a situation like that, one
has a variety of choices on
at lower Bentley and the

how to deal with it. Option A
is you continue to be polite
with the cashier because
clearly they are having difficulty and Option B is that you
throw a tantrum. Of course,
the student chose the latter.
I experienced an event not
unlike that recently and was
amazed at the fact that the person in front of me was so blatantly rude to the worker and
proceeded to act like an eightyear-old who has just had
their toy stolen.
Ten minutes later, after the
person argued ruthlessly with
the worker, the problem dissipated due to the worker's passivity and lower Bentley
returned to its usual chaos.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned,
but I couldn't help but wonder
if the concept of 'respect your
elders' had flown right out the
window.
Being away from home
and being thrown into the college atmosphere can be a
shock for some because our

parents aren't here to oversee
all our actions, but there is no
excuse for rudeness.
Even if you didn't have
someone instilling morals in

you your entire life, you
should still know the difference between being polite and
being downright offensive.
But my gripe has less to do
with the person who is illmannered and more to do with
the person who is putting up
with it. The cashier chose to
hold herself together and be
courteous despite being told
that the cashiers were
"wrong" and "didn't know
what they were doing."
If I had been in her place, I
cannot say that I would have
reacted in the same way. Of
course, every decent worker
knows that the customer is
always right, but saying it and
adhering to it when difficult
customers come around are
two different things.
I commend those who put
up with people such as that,

but 1 also warn them. If you
always let people get away
with being rude, how will they
ever learn that it is not okay to
treat people that way?
It's a challenge to say in
the very least, but it is doable.
And those of you who are
like me and have witnessed
other students belittling someone and have not said anything, I challenge you to be
the one who puts them in
place.
The idea is simple- treat
others the way you would like
to be treated.
I'm sure if the scenario
was switched around and the
student had to play the part of
the cashier on the first day of
her job, trying to serve a line
of people and distinguishing
the million little buttons ofthe
cashier, she would not appreciate it if a rude person came
along and gave her a hard
time.
Karma is a funny thing.

you.

So much to do and so little
time is probably the most
accurate way to sum up college life.
The reason why most people feel all of this pressure is
because they had to have
slipped off track somewhere.
There are consequences
for actions, and skipping class
or assignments can hurt a lot
more than one would think.
Slipping off of the track is
easy and the most difficult
challenge is getting back on.
While you're off track it
seems like you get stuck in a
place of timelessness. The
time goes by without any real
self accomplishment and
leaves one feeling a state of
depression.
The more time that passes
in a state of worthlessness, the
more depressed one finds
themselves. It becomes a
vicious cycle. Skipping one
class may lead to a negative
attitude as if to say, "Well I
already missed that class three
times, so my grade can't

improve now, and so why
should I go?" Well here is
your reason to go.
Go for yourself. Your
grade can improve. Skipping
more classes because of that
negative attitude can only
make it worse.
It may not be what you
wanted it to be, but putting in
effort will get you out of your
slump.
Once you start going back
to classes you will feel a sense
of self-worth again. You will
feel like you are accomplishing something that you really
want.

There are ways for you to
wake up out of that "twilight
zone" attitude.
It's okay to let out a good
cry once in awhile, but instead
of crying alone find a good
friend or family member to
talk to.

Garrett Graziano / Eagle Eye
Adam Wolfe and Britton Kreitz graduated from the U.S. Army
Airborne School in September after having earned their wings.

Airborne certified
ROTC leaders earn their silver wings
Daniella De Luca
Editor in Chief
For the first four seconds
after you jump out of a plane,
you're a rag doll.
At least, that's how
Britton Kreitz described his
experience with the U.S.
Army Airborne School in
Fort Benning, Georgia.
"The sky is unforgiving,"
he said. "Jumping gives you
a tremendous rush, but
there's also a tremendous
concern. It's not your aver-

age, leisure skydive. There
are a million things you have

remember."
Kreitz was one of two
ROTC members sent to represent
Lock
Haven
University this summer. The
other was Doug Wolfe.
Both graduated from the
intensive three-week long
their
program
earning
"wings," and certifying them
to jump into combat from the
air.
The two graduated from
the specialty school on Sept.
I and got permission to miss
the first week of classes
before returning for the fall
semester.
They were selected by
ROTC leaders based on military leadership attributes,
physical fitness, GPA and for
the guts and motivation to
represent the university and
the ROTC program according to SFC Christopher
Harris.
No newcomer to Airborne
status himself, SFC Harris
has spent 13 years of his
career doing airborne activities including two years as an
instructor at Fort Benning,
to

Ga., and spent time in the
82nd Airborne Division.
"It is truly an honor to
have any Cadet, Soldier, or
student from Lock Haven go
to the U.S. Army Airborne
School, graduate and get
their Silver Wings," SFC
Harris said. He is a master
rated Jumpmaster with over
100 static line jumps and one
combat jump into Panama on
Dec. 20, 1989.
"Airborne school sets you
apart from your peer Cadets
or Soldiers, and it shows that
you are willing to go the
extra mile to be the best
leader you can be."
During the first week of
training, "Ground Week," all
activities and drills were
grounded. It was a test of the
participants' physical fitness
to prepare them for the physical stressors of jumping out
of a plane that their bodies
were about to go through.
Week two, "Tower Week"
focused more on technical
skills used during the
descent. Control is needed
when managing the parachute and being able to navigate and land safely on the
drop zone. Before the week's
end, each soldier is required
to drop from a 250 ft. training tower with a T-10 Delta
parachute.
It's not until the third
week, "Jump Week," that the
soldiers get to jump out of a
moving plane. Jumpmasters
perform a series of safety
inspections once the soldiers
arrive at the airfield. This is
all after a 3:30 a.m. wakeup
call and a mile and a halfrun
warm up.
"All the early morning
wake ups and the training

Volunteer

time...it was all extremely
worth it," Wolfe said. He
admits his first jump wasn't
nerve-wracking until he saw
the first guy jump out of the
plane.
"For the first few
moments of the flight, I felt
like we were on the ground
the whole time, but jumping
out of that plane—wow, it
was like being flushed down
a toilet," he said.
To become Airborne certified and earn their pin on
wings at graduation, each
jumper must jump and land
successfully five times in a
row. After a standby procedure and a loud "Go!" command from the Jumpmaster,
each of the 30 jumpers take
to the sky one right after
another.
"There's nothing better
than knowing you are willing
to jump out of an aircraft in
the middle of the night and
on the cutting edge of battle," Harris said.
And, the best part of
jumping?
"Hitting the ground and
knowing you're okay,"
Kreitz said. For Wolfe it was
looking up while in the air
and seeing the parachute
opened above him.
"It was an honor to graduate from the U.S. Army
Airborne School and join a
long line of paratroopers who
give their lives every day to
ensure America's freedom,"
Kreitz said.
Many other Lock Haven
cadets who have also
received their wings in previous years including Chad
Pilker, Louis Kohl and Alan
Salisbury are still in the area.

Self-defense is known as
the actions taken to prevent
injury upon one's self or property. In today's college town,
it has become imperative and
essential for students to be
trained in self-defense tactics,
which is why the Student Rec
Center (SRC) offers a selfdefense class weekly.
"The class is just a basic
self-defense class that teaches
students how to defend themselves and get away from a
potential attacker. The students learn basic maneuvers to
break grips and holds, and
they get to practice these tactics with other students during
the class," said Brad Dally,
director ofthe SRC.
Jeffrey Ramsey, instructor
of the self-defense class has
been studying martial arts for
over two decades. Ramsey
also owns and operates the
American Academy of Martial
Arts in Mifflinburg and also
teaches a class at the Lock
Haven YMCA.
The class ,s free for all
LHU students and runs from
7-8 p.m. Sundays. The class is

Trying to win two straight
games, the Haven went into
Saturday with a lot of momentum but was just overpowered
by Kutztown's well-balanced
offense.
The Bears would choose to
receive after winning the coin
toss. Cory McFadden broke a
few tackles and rushed 79 yards
for a score on the first play from
scrimmage, putting the Bald
Eagles in an early hole, 7-0.
The Bald Eagles would go
three and out twice in the first
quarter, with the score 7-0 at the
conclusion of one period. On
their first possession ofthe second quarter, Kutztown's Mike
Grosso intercepted freshman
quarterback llio DiPaolo's pass
giving the Bears the ball on their
own 31-yard line.
Bears quarterback Kyle
Spotts found receiver Larry
Baumgardner for a big 35-yard
gain which set up McFadden for
a 21-yard run into the end zone
for his second touchdown ofthe
game, giving Kutztown a little
room for error with a 14 point
lead.
With just over two minutes
remaining in the first half of
play, Lock Haven was looking
to gain some momentum by
scoring before the half. Starting

The
The 2006 NFL season, so far
Pat Bower
Staff Writer
Before the start of the NFL season, there
were many questions circulating about the
upcoming campaign.
Will Peyton Manning and the Colts finally
make it to the Super Bowl?
Can the Steelers successfully defend their
championship?
Are the Eagles going to return to the playoffs after a year's absence?
These are just a few of the more popular
questions that have been discussed, especially
in this particular area of the football world.
However, there have also been several other
questions up for debate prior to the kickoff of
the NFL season.
As we stand here at the halfway point,
some of our questions may possibly be
answered already, while most are still up in the
air. If we take a look at the current standings,
there have been many surprises that no one
would have predicting a couple months ago.
Here are the three of the biggest surprises thus
far.
The last place Steelers:
Perhaps the only debatable topic before the
season that can be answered at this point is if
the Steelers can repeat as champions. By the
way. the answer is no.
Who would have thought that at the midway point, the Steelers would have the same
record as the Lions, Browns, Texans, and
Titans, and that the 49ers, Bills, and Packers
would all have better records? I would guess
nobody.
Apparently, Coach Bill Cowher does not
subscribe to the Eagle Eye, because if he did,
he would have read my column and taken my
advice to start Charlie Batch. Although Ben
Roethlisberger did throw for 433 yards and a
touchdown in their 31-20 loss to the Broncos,
he also had to attempt 54 passes to do so,
while also tossing three interceptions. For the
season, Roethlisberger has seven touchdowns
and 14 interceptions, for those of you keeping
track. 1 will say it again, start Charlie Batch.
At 2-6, the only way the Steelers have a
chance at making the playoffs is by going 8-0
in the second half. While that is possible, it is
very unlikely. They still have to play the
Bengals, Saints, and Panthers once, and the
Ravens twice. There are currently ten teams
with better records than them in the AFC and
only six will make the playoffs. So, in conclusion, the Steelers can kiss this season goodbye.
The first place New Orleans Saints:
The Saints are the team with the most surprising record halfway through the season,
even more surprising than the Colts and Bears.
Although the Saints are only 2-2 against
quality opponents, it is still shocking for them
to be 6-2 and leading a NFC South Division
that includes the Falcons, Panthers, and

Saints to only win six games total. However,
their second half schedule does not get any
easier. They only have three more games
against teams with losing records. Two of
those three teams, the Steelers and Redskins,
have the ability to beat nearly any team in the
league, if they play to their full potential.
The Madden Curse strikes again:
Up until 2001. John Madden himself
graced the cover of the Madden NFL video
game franchise. From 2001 to the present, a
different NFL player has been on the cover
each year, and each year that particular coverathlete has gotten injured and missed a significant amount of time or had very poor season
statistically.
In 2001, it was Eddie George, 2002,
Daunte Culpepper, 2003, Marshall Faulk,
2004, Michael Vick, 2005, Ray Lewis, 2006,
Donovan McNabb, and currently, 2007, Shaun
Alexander.
Alexander came off a 2005 season in
which he recorded 1,888 yards rushing along
with 27 rushing touchdowns, while appearing
in the Super Bowl.
This season, in his first three games, he has
put up sub par numbers, 187 rushing yards and
two touchdowns; however, the Seahawks were
3-0 in those games. In week three, Alexander
fractured a bone in his left foot and has failed
to play a single snap since. Heading into their
game against the Oakland Raiders on Monday
Night Football, the Seahawks are 1-3 without
their star running back.
To some people, Alexander's injury may
not be surprising because it is a "curse." As for
me, I find it quite astonishing this has happened again.
In an effort to reverse the Madden curse,
they could start putting players on the cover
who had an awful year the previous season.
Personally, 1 would not mind if they put a
photo of Monday Night Football broadcaster
Tony Kornheiser on the cover of the Madden
NFL 08 game. I realize that would make little
sense, but maybe, just maybe, the curse will
strike Kornheiser and he will get fired, and we
would no longer have to hear his horrendous
broadcasting "skills" anymore. Honestly,
could he get any more annoying?

It's almost free agent time
Sports Editor

Finally 1 have bragging rights on the
Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Yes folks, the Steelers lost and the Eagles didn't play, meanwhile in Buffalo, the Bills beat
the Green Bay Packers, giving them a 3-5
record compared to the Steelers 2-6 record, but
enough bragging about my losing team. It's
another one of my favorite times, free agency in
Major League Baseball.
With so many teams always looking for
pitching, there are at least six big time pitchers
available this off-season. Barry Zito is probably the best pitcher on the market at the
moment, but Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens
would increase the market if they decide to stay
in the MLB. Greg Maddux and Jason Schmidt
round out my top six pitchers available on the
current market.
At first base, Frank Thomas and Nomar
Garciaparra are the two notable names.
Thomas would most likely have to stay in the
American League and DH, while Nomar could
be one ofthe best players in the game, at any
infield spot. That is, if he can stay healthy.
The second base market is kind of slim this
off-season, as Ray Durham is the only notable
player. Durham is a veteran of the game and
could also help teams in the outfield. Alfonso
Soriano started in the league at second, but
have ventured into the outfield is also available.

agree

If teams feel Nomar is healthy enough to
play shortstop he would be the best, if not Julio
Lugo's name shoots to the top of the list of
available shortstops.
At third base, Aramis Ramirez is available
now, but has expressed sincere interest into
returning to Chicago. Ramirez opted out ofhis
contract with Chicago, feeling that he was
worth more money.
The outfield has a couple ofbig names. The
one at the top ofthe list would be Barry Bonds,
except no one wants him except San Francisco.
As I mentioned before Alfonso Soriano if available, as well as Carlos Lee, Juan Pierre, and
Gary Matthews Jr.
Whatever the outcome ofthe off-season one
thing is for certain: once March roles around
and baseball is in the air, the Chicago Cubs.

You know it's embarrasing
You know it's embarrassing when Junior
Seau, a 17-year veteran, is still better than V* of
the linebackers in the league. Isn't he collecting
social security now?

Garrett Oraziano
Sports Editor
After watching certain games this past
weekend I got to thinking about some embarrassing moments from this season so far. So in
no particular order, you know its embarrassing
when...

You know it's embarrassing when the
Tennessee Titans play football. Period.

You know it's embarrassing when every 4.9
times your QB drops back to pass he is sacked.
Good job Oakland.

You know it's embarrassing when you
throw for 433 yards.. .and throw three interceptions, which in Utrn, boosts your INT/TD ratio
to 7-14. Ben's not so big right now.

You know it's embarrassing when something as vicious as a bear gets destroyed by
something as adorable as a dolphin.

You know it's embarrassing to be Drew
Bledsoe. No matter if in Dallas, Buffalo, or
New England.

You know it's embarrassing when the Super
Bowl champs are the NFL chumps.

You know it's embarrassing to be Terrell
Owens. Well, everything TO does is embarrassing, but especially when he drops the
potential game winning TD and allows the
awfur Washington Redskins the chance to beat
Dallas in the manner that they did.

You know it's embarrassing when the team
with the first selection in the first round ofthe
draftis 2-6 and then team with second selection
in the first round ofthe draft is 6-2.

You know it's embarrassing to be seen
around campus with a T.O. jersey on.
Everything is bigger in Texas, including the
idiots.

You know it's embarrassing when the only
time you know your team won't lose is when
it's their bye week.

And last but not least...

You know it's embarrassing when the Colts
offense looks more like a Madden game set on
rookie with the defense's A.I. turned completely off than an actual football game. That goes
for pretty much every team that has had the
pleasure offacing the Colts at some point in the
last four years or so.

You know it's embarrassing to Art Shell,
Randy Moss, Warren Sapp, and the rest of the
no-names that comprise the Oakland Raiders.
Let me know when they raid the winners bracket. Wait, never mind, I'm sure to be dead and
buried by then. I wonder what the year 2089
will of look like.

You know it's embarrassing when the 26th
ranked defense pummels the 9thranked offense
in the NFL.

You know it's embarrassing when a certain
Pennsylvania team (that means you,
Philadelphia) has the No. 1 ranked offense and
a .500 record.
You know its embarrassing when good ole'
Brett Favre is still playing football. Honestly,
it's tough to watch, almost like watching
Superman lose a battle to Kryptonite.

Machinal shines on mainstage
with keen character portrayal
Kyle Tims
Guest Writer
"Machinal" is the second
university held theatrical event
ofthe semester, and it immediately raised the bar of achievement for the theater community on campus.
The production is gaining
much well-deserved respect,
and a lot of the credit should
go to the director. Assistant
Professor
Christine
Woodworth, and the Theatre
Department for their portrayal
of Sophie Treadwell's shocking drama. Actress Valerie
Halstead, a junior theater
major, carries the weight of
the play and gives a superior
performance in the lead role as
YoUng Woman.
Much credit is due to the
first-rate performances of her
supporting cast and the stage
crew on a nearly flawless
night oftheater.
"Machinal" was written in
1928. and is based on the reallife murder that shook New
York City the year before. It is
the most popular work of
Treadwell, a female playwright who flourished as a
writer in the early part of the

"Anthems for a Seventeen

My Saturday started out at

7:00 a.m. when I got out of
bed, ate breakfast and proceeded to bundle myself up
because it was only about 27
degrees outside. At about
7:50, two of my roommates
and 1 headed to Evergreen
Commons clubhouse, which
was the designated meeting
place for those interested in
helping build 'Tiger Den.'
[, along with a group of
other students, comprised of
SCC members and Evergreen
residents and Community
Assistants,
walked from
Evergreen to the site of 'Tiger
Den,' which is located across
from Weis.
Once there, 1 stood in line
to sign in. After signing in, I
received a name tag and was
told to stand inside the fence
and wait until someone came
to put me to work.
A woman came over to
where I was standing and said
she needed about 15 to 20 students. She took the II of us
that were waiting for a job.
The woman proceeded to tell

stones out, and Warner and

rakes. Gao eventually had to
leave, so Warner and I finished

This whole process of moving
stones continued for two
hours. Of course, I did take a
break in between to grab some
hot chocolate and eat a snack,
which was all generously provided for the workers.

Freshman Travis Fedshun
states that he picked his eyeglasses based on the shape and
how they feel positioned on
his face.
As eyeglasses are coming
back into style, some people
admit to finding others more
attractive when they wear
specs. This idea is called
'specs appeal.'
"Specs appeal is when
guys find girls more attractive
when they wear glasses," said
Fedshun.

Besides the idea that glass-

es are becoming fashionable
again or that they may make

one look more sophisticated,
'specs appeal' may also be
related to why some students
choose to wear glasses even
when they don't need corrective lenses.
"Why would you wear
fake eyeglasses in the first
place? Through our society's
history, those who wear glasses have often been portrayed
as either nerds or geeks, never
sex-gods, an unfortunate
stereotype that makes children
believe that they are less than
they should be if they need
glasses," said sophomore

Jamie Wilson. "1 don't see how
wearing fake glasses could
help you attract others with
such a stereotype in place.
Also, by wearing fake glasses,
you are lying to whoever you
are trying to attract, and a relationship cannot start with a
lie."
However, others disagree
with Wilson.
"I think some people look
nice when they wear glasses,
and if they feel they look better with them, then they should
feel free to add them to their
wardrobe. Basically, I'm okay
with it," said sophomore
Andrew Wilson.

Jenkins rapped to Realix's
two acoustic guitars and a
Djembe drum in between the
Rinard's verses. The musical
venture was extremely unique
and welcomed with the full
support of the listeners.
"I've known a few members of Realix from previous
years at Lock Haven, but that
was the first time we did
music together," said Jenkins.
"I look forward to doing more
with them. They are amazing."
Cannady agreed.
"I loved the point when
Realix, Charles Mickens, and
Moshe Jenkins freestyled

"That was

The freestyle, Mickens'
first, featured him performing
a spoken poem he created on
the spot. It also featured
Jenkins rapping. Both poets
were accompanied by Realix.
"The entire showcase had

couldn't even begin to pick
out highlights," said Jenkins.
"The show was too extreme."
The style of delivery and
the poetry topics of the night
were as diverse as the poets
themselves.
There were
poems about death, family
and struggle, and the poets
ranged from angry to overjoyed to intense and soft-spoken. Sometimes poets incorporated several styles of
delivery in one poem.

Mitch Floyd and then delivered another hard hitting
poem about her family. After
her verses, Floyd sang a cappella, giving the performance
