Preparations for alumni conference center begin
Cynthia Martinez
News Editor
Construction of the Alumni
Conference Center will begin in
spring 2006, but temporary
parking is now being built
replacing the spots that will be
taken by center's placement.
By positioning the conference center on the corner of
Susquehanna and Water Street,
where the staffand faculty parking lot is now, parking spots will
be replaced where the current
intramural fields arc located.
"Although we are getting rid
of about 70 parking spots by
building the center there," said
Jerry Updegraff vice president
of University Advancement.
"We will also be putting about
170 spots once we take out the
Boiler Plant that is now next to
the lot."
With additional parking
spaces being built, this construction will also give room for
growth due to the long term plan
of moving the nearby tennis
courts.
This building will not just be
a place "that wc can call home"
as alumni of Lock Haven
University, but it is also where
prospective students will get
their first view of what LHU has
to offer.
The admissions offices that

are now located in the Akeley

Building will be moved to the
conference center. This will

allow prospective students to
meet in a central area and view
the achievements that have
come from LHU graduates.
"The plans are to build a
library with publications from
LHU professors and alumni, as
well as other memorabilia that
no one sees unless they come
intoAkeley," said UpdegrarT.
This conference center will
also be available to the public.
It is possible that the conference
rooms will be able to be
reserved by the community for
meetings, weddings, and receptions.
Even though the building
may be open to the Lock Haven
community, Updegraff stated
that alumni and current student's
needs will come first for reservations ofthe facility.
"The LHU Foundation will
be the ones paying for this center," said Updegraff.
Money from tax payers will
not be used for the construction
of the building. Instead, the
$6.7 million cost ofthis project
has come from donations from
alumni, friends, and local businesses.
"An alumna from the class
of '66 has donated the large
patio that will be used for social
gatherings," said Updegraff.
"And there is even talk about an
even bigger gift for the Arts and
Science department."

A new era of globalization
has begun to shrink the world,
and with it, countries and people have become more interconnected than ever before.
The world has reached a
crossroads where new philosophies are being born to deal
with mounting global concerns.
But what philosophy will
properly solve the increasingly
complicated world dilemmas?
Dr. Rita Manning calls for a
moral perspective that will deal
with the many facets of these
problems. She has called for an
"ethic of care."
Dr. Manning is a philosopher who teaches at San Jose
State University and specializes
in political and social philosophy, including the philosophy
of music and feminism.
Her book publications
include "Social Justice in a
Diverse
Society"
and
"Speaking from the Heart: A
Feminist Perspective on Ethics"
and her articles have appeared
in a myriad of magazines and
journals including the Journal
ofBusiness Ethics and Informal
Logic.
On Oct. 12 Manning spoke
in the Hall of Flags to a small

attentive audience about what
she believed the best philosophical solution to today's problems would be.
"Philosophy is looking for
the next question, not create
more confusion but to clarify
confusion," said Manning.
The confusion that the
world faces today is abundant
and ranges from terrorism to
environmental concerns.
"What we need to frame a
solution to those pressing issues
is a new language," said
Manning.
An "ethic of care" is a
recent moral perspective born
only 20 years ago. While there
arc a few interpretations to this
new philosophical viewpoint.
Manning offered what she
thought was the "most plausible
one."
Manning spoke of the word
care and its meaning, calling
care a meta-virtue. She went on
to say that care is capable of
breeding many other important
virtues such as bravery, honesty
and prudence.
"All ofthese can be justified
under the banner of care," said
Manning.
But in addition to being able
to appropriately feel "care" and
in order to participate in an
"ethic of care". Manning said

that one must be able to appropriately respond and act in the
name of care.
An "ethic of care" would
what
require
exercising
Manning called "sympathetic
understanding."
This is where one would
have to be attentive of another's
problems and be willing to listen to the context of the conflict
before making a judgment.
This method would ensure
that a solution was made with
the best interests of everyone in
mind and thus solve the conflict
without creating any new ones,
as is often done.
Manning admitted that there
are problems with expanding an
"ethic of care" in the global
community, but nothing that
cannot be resolved.
Among the criticisms is that
of exporting Western morals to
people who do not desire such
morals.
Manning argues against this
point by calling care a virtue of
the world and not only one type
of society.
An "ethic of care" would
not, according to Manning,
assume anything as it is a oneon-one way of solving a conflict.
Without judgments and
assumptions an "ethic of care"

would face the problem without
the normal blindness of other
moral philosophies by seeing
all parties as moral equals.
Other criticisms range from
gender stereotypes to arguments that such an obligation is
overwhelming and impossible.
Manning battles all of these
with calls for reform in stereotypical thoughts and the need
for cooperation.
According to Manning, the
limitations of such obligations
are not as strong as what is
assumed.
In the end it is this philosophy that can triumph over some
of the world's biggest problems
without breeding new ones,
Manning attests.
"An ethics ofcare is a powerful way to craft solutions,"
said Manning.
With the amount of volunteerism and concern of young
people in colleges across the
country. Manning's proposal
for such a philosophy does not
seem too unrealistic.
However, in learning to
understand other cultures and
perspectives, a worldwide
approach to care is necessary
and will certainly not be a simple process, but it is one that
Manning believes is imperative.

Roberts was acting with judicial

Precedence means the new

AMES, Iowa The growing
popularity of Facebook has
raised some concern about the
growing impact of technology
on social interaction.
According to the Web site.
Facebook is "an online directory
that connects people through
social networks at schools."
Michael Bugeja, author of
"Interpersonal Divide: The
Search for Community in a
said
Technological
Age,"
Facebook encourages members
to participate in simulated interaction rather than interpersonal
interaction.
"Facebook is not an online
community but a mere simulation of the real thing," said
Bugeja, director ofthe Greenlee
School of Journalism and

He said Facebook is replacing rather than supplementing
interaction among college students.
There are 19.495 ISU members on Facebook, said Chris
Hughes, spokesperson for
Facebook, who disagreed with
Bugeja's assessment ofthe Web
site's impact.
"Facebook does not replace
reaction,
face-to-face
but
instead complements it. People
log on and learn a great deal
more information about their
friends and peers through the
site, which can then make faceto-face interaction all the more
valuable," he said.
One of Bugeja's concerns
was members of the Facebook
willingly divided themselves
into marketing groups. Several
Facebook groups very closely
resemble mailing lists that marketers use to reach their target
audience. For example, a
Facebook group called "KickAss Conservatives" was similar
to the mailing list called "RedHot Conservatives," he said.
"Marketers used to put people into boxes. Now, they say

"Facebook could hurt publications like Ethos or the Daily,
on
advertising
because
Facebook is so much cheaper
and far-reaching." Newell said.
"People who don't have cats
have to sit through litter commercials, people who don't have
children have to sit through diaper commercials. This is an
interesting vehicle to fine tune
messages to show you the ones
you need."
Future generations will be
affected by programs such as the
Facebook. Bugeja and Newell
agreed.
"How do you teach a generation ofmulti-taskers?" he said.
Newell considered effects on
public figures.
"You're putting all this information out about yourself in a
time when you're still defining
who you are," he said, adding
that allowing public access to
this type of information at any
time can be dangerous.
"What if George Bush had a
Facebook profile when he was
in college? That could be very
damaging during election
years," he said.
Fixing the problem would be
a difficult task, Bugeja said.
"I'm not hopeful," he said.
"Universities have invested considerable amounts ofmoney into
technology to the point that we
now have fewer tenured professors in the classroom."
Technology's purpose is to
keep people informed, but people are using them for 'ego-casting' purposes, Bugeja said. 'Egocasting' is using a device or program to further a person's ego
and interests, it needs to be controlled.
Both Bugeja and Newell
have Facebook accounts, but
neither are active.
"I joined because I was curious, but I haven't done anything
to my profile or looked at anyone else's. I don't think the students posted their information
knowing that professors could
read it, and it's none ofmy business," Newell said.

response to Alex Hambelton's

"Act of faith involves doubting
yourself article." 1 would like to
start off with the fact that this
article will reflect the Christian
side of debate here but in a way
in which you can recognize.
Prayer is obviously a touchy
subject, and your opinion is your
opinion, however, prayer is a
very important technique and
value to several millions ofpeople around the world.
No matter what religion,
when you truly believe in God,
you believe that he is the creator
of all and that he controls each
and every individual life. The
purpose of prayer is not necessarily to pray for something like
'passing a test' when you haven't
studied. The purpose of prayer
is to thank God for everything
we are so fortunate to have
(essentially because of Him.)
Secondly, we pray for others
because our prayers show God
that we meditate to Him in the
name of someone else so that He
may help them in some way. We
do this if the person is suffering
through tough trials or tribulations, or even for example if we

know a person who is choosing
to turn his/her back to God
because we know that each person has the choice to make their
own decisions so all we can do
is pray for him/her.
Also, when we normally
pray for ourselves, we pray for
things like strength and guidance. 1 personally think that faith
is one of the most difficult values to possess because you are
putting your entire life in the
hands of God and/or Jesus and
living your life in the guidelines
of God's love letter (the bible or
for ex. if Muslim-the Qur'an.)
When you pray, you release
all of your troubles and worries
because you give them to God.
He takes the burdens off your
shoulders so that you can have a
clear mind and focus on the
important things.
You may not necessarily
believe in prayer, but how can
you be positive that it's not
effective if you have never tried
it OR if maybe you have tried it
but your faith is not strong? For
prayer to be effective, you of
course have to believe in the
One and Only God and for
Christians, our savior Jesus
Christ.

Alex, if you think prayer is
so ineffective, then why is there
so much scientific evidence supporting prayer? Yes, something
that cannot be proven, A Creator
of everything, our God, can be
supported by scientific evidence
that prayer works. Many studies
have been done on people who
are sick in the hospital. There
are many churches and groups
of people praying for that individual patient, and they have
seen amazing and miraculous
results. The interesting thing is
the patient has no idea that people are praying for him/her. I
looked up a couple websites
which give scientific evidence
for prayer:
http://www.godandscience.o
rg/apologetics/prayer.html
(Deem, Rich), as well as
http://www.rcpsych .ac. uk/college/sig/spirit/publications/fenwick_%208_4_04.pdf.
Even the National Institute
of Health at John Hopkins
University is studying the
effects of prayer on the sick
(http://awesomepower.net/praye
rstudies.htm.) Also, this website
was extremely interesting
http://www.plim.org/PrayerDeb.
htm. All of these websites are

backed up by true scientific
research, journals and articles.
If prayer was not real and did not
make a difference, why would
so many reputable universities
and medical organizations study
the effects of prayer?
Okay so I could potentially
go on about this subject forever
because I know from my own
past experiences that prayer is
real and it works. I have had
many wonderful things happen
in my life because of my faith
and prayer in Jesus Christ. I just
want to end with something we
were discussing in CSF last
Wednesday night. If you were
going to invest millions of dollars into a company, would you
not do a large amount of
research on the company and
look into how the company does
its business and what not? Well,
obviously, with an investment
like that, you would. Well what
about the question of where you
might spend eternity?
Isn't that something worth at
least looking into?

Criminal Justice

Trust me, Harold Miers will be a brilliant justice
Garrison Keillor
Tribune Media Services
If your alderman introduced
a resolution in the city council
called the Salute To Our Boys In
Uniform Resolution, which proclaimed that we support the
troops in their mission to light a
beacon of freedom in a dark
world, etc.. and in small print in
Section II, Division A, Paragraph
4, Line 122 was a provision giving the alderman's brother-in-law
Walt the contract to haul
garbage, the honorable gentleman would be denounced as a
crook and a dodo. And yet this
same dodge has worked beautifully for Republicans in
Washington, who have clubbed
their hapless opponents over the
head with Old Glory and then set
up shop and profited mightily,
and more power to them. I am in
favor of corruption so long as it
makes people truly happy. And
so long as somebody writes a
good confessional memoir like
John Dean's "Blind Ambition."
At this point in time, 1 don't
see Karl Rove or Tom DeLay
writing a good mea culpa, and 1
doubt that Colin Powell or
Donald Rumsfeld will either.

And of course presidents never
do, and here is one more proof
that we are not now nor have we
ever been a Christian nation.
Confession is at the heart of the
faith. (All have sinned and come
short of the glory of God.) But
under this administration, the
faith has been revised, all the
stuff about the poor has been
tabled and the confession of sin
omitted, and prayer is nowa promotional device in which you
thank God for making you the
terrific person you are. In the
Christian view of the world,
these folks rank lower than outright atheists, which is a terrifying aspect of the faith better
never to have believed than to
use sacred things for your grimy
which
self-aggrandizement
might scare a Republican into
writing a decent book. One can
hope for this.
Meanwhile,
last week
brought some good news, a
report of President Bush having
read a book during his long
August vacation, a 546-page
tome about the 1918 influenza
epidemic, according to White
House
Scott
spokesman
McClellan. Whether the president read the entire book himself

-

-

or read passages ofit highlighted
by his staff, Mr. McClellan did
not say. But it's good news for us
writers (somewhat offsetting the
disappointment of seeing the
Nobel Prize go to the dismal and
tedious Harold Pinter) to imagine that the president might now
and then interrupt his ambitious
exercise program to pick up a
book, sit down and read it. Or a
newspaper.
Literacy is a good thing, as
the president himself says every
year during Literacy Week. A little more literacy might put him
in touch with the intellectual
standards that prevail today, so
he could have anticipated the
storm of opposition to the nomination of Harold Miers to the
Supreme Court. (I have changed
the nominee's gender to ward off
accusations of sexism.) Harold's
friends in the administration did
him no favors when they came
bounding to his defense, pointing to his lovely personality and
his attention to correcting grammar and misspellings in staff
memos. The ability to proofread
is not in itself the best recommendation for a seat on the high
court, nor is a pleasant disposition. And then the conservative

columnist David Brooks savaged
Harold simply by quoting the
fluff and chaff he wrote while
serving as president ofthe Texas
state bar association, stuff like
"More and more, the intractable
problems in our society have one
answer: broad-based intolerance
of unacceptable conditions and a
commitment by many to fix
problems."
Not to worry, Harold. Every
member of the Senate Judiciary
Committee has written worse
than that. Take your seat at the
witness table, smile in a determined way, and start your
engines. When they ask about
Roe v. Wade, lead them into the
legal briar patch and run them
around until they get tired. Say
what you want to say and
express your commitment to
solve problems and change unacceptable conditions within the
framework of your mission. Do
this with utter confidence, no
shadow of uncertainty flickering
across your handsome features,
and above all listen now do
not ever confess to a single mistake, error of judgment or misstatement of fact.
You ain't done nothing
wrong, Harold. You is the man.

- What we really
mean when we lie
Daniel la De Luca
Editor In Chief
Part of being a journalist
is reporting the truth. Part of
being a good friend is telling

lies.
One day over the weekend
when I was eating lunch with
a friend, she brought something to my attention. How
many times every day do we
tfell a little white lie for the
sake of sparing someone's
feelings?
Think about it, really.
vVhy do you tend to be more
honest
with your best
friends? That outfit looks
horrible on her...what was
she thinking?
Because you know that
chances are they will forgive
and forget then take you back
after a simple spat. / can't
believe he did that to his hair.
However, when it's someone that you don't know or
you aren't really acquainted
with, the circumstances
Change. / wish I could tell my
do-worker that it's really
annoying when they read my
e-mails over my shoulder.
Will they take it the wrong
way? Will they not understand my sense of humor?

How would I recover if they

took the truth too literally?
Step I: Insert foot into
mouth. Step 2: Apologize sincerely and then change the
topic...fast.
When we are younger, we
are constantly reminded to
always tell the truth and
never to lie. Lying is supposed to be bad and leads to
cheating, sneaking around
and other malicious activities. So, my main question is,
why do we feel that it is okay
to lie or only tell part of the
truth, even if it's just a little
bit?
It could be because we're
afraid that they will think that
we are being too brutally
honest and never speak to us
again. Or, it could be something bigger than that. We
could be lying only for the
sake of lying in order to make
ourselves feel better for our
own good qualities, that we
buy our clothes from only the
trendy stores or the fact that
we'd never get a bad haircut.
We tend to think that
white lies are excusable
because everyone else does
it. Maybe if people developed
a little bit tougher exterior,
then it wouldn't hurt as bad.
But, that's just not how some

Yo, that car is the bomb!

people are. When something
hurts, it really hurts no matter
how much the person pretends like it doesn't bother
them.
As a college student, it's
easier to lie more and more
because chances are the people that you tend to talk to on
a daily basis are classmates.
You see them everyday so
saying something hurtful
would be a big mistake
because you still need to deal
with them for the majority of
the school year. Rather than
deal with hard feelings, we
brush it aside and simply
smile and say they look fabulous with their popped collar.
You couldn t take two seconds
to flatten it? Who are you kidding? Seriously. The person
swivels back around in their
chair as you secretly long for
colder weather so the polo
shirts can be put away.
The sobering truth? What
works or looks good for one
person might not necessarily
work for someone else. We
all just deal with it in different ways.
And no, your butt doesn't
look fat in those jeans.
Really.

FEMA: "We don't make decisions...a computer does"
I just got off the phone with another rude, possibly even irate
FEMA rep, who told me that my property would have to be inspected before they awarded me any rental assistance. But, she said, they
are behind in their inspections. When I asked where 1 should live in
the meantime, she had no answer. When I told her that last week I was
told it didn't need inspection because 1 was in the worst hit zip code,

FEMA speaks
This morning I actually got a supervisor on the phone. Here's
what he had to say that might be useful to others who haven't been
lucky enough to get any answers:
1. You do not need to apply to SBA if all you want is rental assistance. The SBA info is used if you are asking for money to cover
property losses. If you plan to claim any losses, you HAVE to apply
with SBA first, and if you get turned down, then FEMA steps in.
2. If you want rental assistance, you need to fax in the Declaration
and Release on the last page of the guide book "Help After a
Disaster." Include a copy ofa lease or other proof of occupancy.
I've been on the phone with these people for weeks and never was
told either ofthese things. I was told, alternately, that they were waiting for an inspection, that they had waived the inspection, that I needed to apply to SBA, that I needed to drive 180 miles away, that it was
automatic, that it was automated, that they needed no other information from me. blah blah blah...
On the other hand, 1 also noticed that the form they used for my
case expired on February 28. 2003. Has itreally been that long since
Katrina hit? It certainly feels like it.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 07, 2005
FEMA continues to toy with me...
and thousands of other more desperate people.
Yesterday I talked to a supervisor and faxed in a bunch of forms
knd various proofs ofresidence. The idea was to get a decision on
rental assistance, which had been listed as pending. Now it isn't even
listed as an option at all.

My return to New Orleans
I'm packing up the dogs along with a surplus of dog food, water.

Lysol...and we're heading home.
This is what 1know: the house is still standing, and it didn't flood.
But I have no idea about any other damage. Some neighbors down the

Others have found roof damage, water and mold, even though the

There is electricity on my street, I've been told. And the water is
supposedly safe, but I've been told by a number of people to not drink
it. Ever.
Other friends have told me that goingback makes you realize how
skewed your sense of awful has become. "At first it doesn't seem
nearly as bad as you thought it would be. Then you realize that it is
worse." But...we're going home. For now anyway. I'll let you know

First impressions on my return
Reentry to New Orleans must be a little like the shock ofpassing
through the atmosphere after visiting the moon. You want to get
home, but you've forgotten how difficult and improbable your journey has already been.
I drove in from Tallahassee, stocked up with all kinds of supplies:
water, dog food, human foot! that doesn't require refrigeration, a
Coleman stove, propane, clothes, a respirator, Vicks vapor rub (to cut
the smell of spoiled food), garbage bags, bleach...
The drive went smoothly until Oak Harbor, just before the long
stretch of highway that goes over the lake. There I had to turn and
drive through an expensive subdivision/development until I reached
route 11 which took me over the water and past completely demolished homes. Large piles of sticks are what they are now. And at first
I could figure out where they had come from. The newer places were
intact, though with damaged roofs. Then I noticed the empty stilts
sticking up from the water. Oh, that's where the houses were. Not

Watching houses burn in the distance
Last night was the postponed birthday party at Andy's place in the
French Quarter. There were forty or fifty people there and tons of
amazing food, including the lamb. Around ten o'clock everyone gathered at the window and watched an enormous plume of smoke grow
in the distance. Then there were flames and an enormous explosion.
Then the guessing at what it might be. After a while there seemed to
be very little point in trying to decide what it was. and the party continued.
This is the way things arc here. Slow motion.
In the Quarter, places are begging for bartenders and cooks. All
of the smaller places are opening up with limited menus, and they are
packed with people. But when you walk outside the streets are empty.
The larger restaurants, owned by people who could afford to open and
lose some money in the process, remain stubbornly closed.
Occasionally in the cafes the military stand patiently in line with
their machine guns.
And on the way home from the party, as we walked down the
stairs, a woman paused on the landing and pointed through a window
to the roof, where a dozen violins were laid out to dry.

...and still it is good to be home.
I just got out of a Mangny association meeting with
Councilwoman Jackie Clarkson (aka the mother of actress Patricia
Clarkson). The place was packed withresidents ofthe neighborhood,
many of whom were out for Jackie's blood. "If you have a problem

in which she detailed the work she's been doing the past two months
and why some neighborhoods are recovering faster than others. A lot

Back on the highway there were occasional boats still stranded in

Then we drove down Elysian Fields, watching the flood line go
lower and lower until we reached our neighborhood and there was
none.
My house was sealed with a piece of corrugated metal screwed
into the doors, decorated with the date that my home had been

Nanotechnology program grows on LHU campus
Nicole Nunn
Guest Writer
Nanotechnology is being
hailed by many as "the next
big thing." Nanotechnology is
defined as the self-assembly
of atoms, molecules, or molecular clusters into structures
that create materials and
devices.
The intricate science is the
combination of physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering
to create this specific field and
it has recently found its way
onto the LHU campus.
There are five fullyequipped new labs and the
program has received an
increase in funding, making
the seven professors as well as
the students involved in the
program very excited about its
future.
Senior Justin Ingram will
be the first student to graduate
from LHU in December with
an associate's degree in nan-

otechnology and a B.S. in
Biology and Chemistry.
"Building something so
small that you cannot see,
taste, smell or touch is really
cutting edge and [nanotechnology] is a field where a lot
of money is being invested in
research. Cell phones are getting thinner; computer chips
are holding more information;
drug costs are lowering, making health care cheaper, and
the list goes on," Ingram
explains.
Dr. Jacqueline Whitling.
Associate
Professor
of
Chemistry, is working with
Ingram to develop a microscope to attach single strand
DNA with a fluorescent tag to
gold, then flowing over the
complimentary strand with a
tag and
watching them
hybridize.
They are also looking to do
this in what is called "real
time." According to Ingram,
real world application is when
a genomic disease or disorder

is attached to the gold & flows
over a person's single strand
DNA. (f it binds, that person
would test positive for that
particular disease or disorder.
The goal of this project, he
says, is to create the lab successfully so that it can be performed at other state schools.
"The program has been
incredible and has opened my
eyes up to an entire new
research work field." said

Students and faculty discuss necessity of affirmative action

LHU Honors students and Professor Timothy Baylor's race and ethnicity class participate in
discussion for and against affirmative action.

Not enough 'bucks' for Starbucks?

Staff Reports
Adding a Starbucks cafe to
one of the campus buildings is
not a reality for the fall semester.
Originally it was supposed to be
stationed in the lobby ofAkeley
or somewhere in Stevenson
Library.
Vice President of Student
Affairs, Dr. Linda Koch said that
the school is having difficulties
rinding a place to put an on-campus cafe aside from Java City,
funding may not allow for a
Starbucks until next semester.
The cart in Raub has also
been removed because it was a
part of Jazzman's. Java City's
predecessor.
For now, students can obtain
coffee, lattes. or smoothies in

apologizes for the delay of finding a location and anticipates the

Students from the Honors
Program and Professor Timothy
Baylor's Race and Ethnicity
class took part in a public issues
forum on affirmative action
Monday night in Ulmer.
"We'll be talking about the
topic later in the course. I
thought this would be a good
introduction to affirmative
action for them, and a way for
them to get a broader perspective on the topic," said Baylor.
Students met in the planetarium, where they were briefed
by watching a movie on three
possible approaches to the
topic.
The first of approach was
that people, not government can
ensure fairness, and dealt with
eliminating affirmative action
and allowing employers and
colleges to choose for themselves who is most qualified.
The second approach discussed helping poverty-stricken
individuals to have more opporfor advancement
tunities
through better education proand job training.
The third approach was to
finish the job started and allow
affirmative action to do what it
was intended to do.
The large group was then
broken down into smaller, more
intimate groups where the
approaches were discussed in
detail and everyone gave a
"personal stake" in the matter.
Personal stakes varied from
being a member ofthe majority
(white males) to applying to
medical school as a female in
coming months.
"This topic involves me
because I am a female and may
be faced with it someday," said
Hannah Thompson, a sophomore social work major.
"It also affects me because
in my field I will have to be
working with children who
come from poorer family situa-

lions. I am sure this issue will
come up at some point or another."
Opinions on how America
should deal with affirmative
action differed greatly from
individual to individual.
"It was a really good thing
in its time," said Danielle
Steinbacher, a freshman health
science pre-physicians assistant.
Other students, such as
Marccilla Veltri, a freshman
international business major,
felt that the country is not ready
to eliminate affirmative action.
"We need it," said Veltri,
"Everyone is still so indecisive,
especially now while our country is in the middle of a war."
After the small group discussions, everyone reconvened
in the planetarium, where each
group had the opportunity to'
pose a question to the larger;
group.
Questions dealt with everything from, "What would happen if we eliminated labels?" to
"Would this even be an issue if
the majority did not feel like
they were losing power?" 1 ;
The forums, which are held
once a month, are organized by
the University Honors Public
Issues Forum (PIF) team, which
is led by Dave Schott. a senior,
biology-chemistry major.
"I feel that forums have,
made me a much more open and
understanding person. I have
teamed so much about myself
and my own views on issues,
just from listening to what others have to say.
Moderating has also helped
me be able to lead discussion,
which will be a valuable skill
when I am a teacher someday,"
said Jessica Sanford, a senior
secondary education social
studies major and a member of
the PIF team.
"I think that everyone on
campus should have the opportunity to come to at least one
forum in their career at LHU."

October 19, 2005

This was a tough week to be a Pennsylvania sports fan.
Our idols, Penn State, suffered a debilitating last second loss to a tough Michigan
earn. The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered an overtime loss to a Jacksonville Jaguars team
hat had no business winning. The incompetence of former Golden Boy Tommy
srtaddox lost the game for them and that is all that can be said. The Eagles fans had a
ough week as well since their bye did not allow them to spell their team name to any>ne and everyone. I could touch on the fact that the Penguins are 0-6, but nobody cares
ibout hockey.
t
But this is all well and good. These are your hometown teams. You have the right
o be fanatical and passionate. But what about the teams that are not from your homeown? How can a person be passionate about a team from a city or a state that they
tave never even been to? Sports teams are representatives of the people living in the
:ities they play in, not some kid that lives 1,500 miles away that likes their uniforms.
It's like those girls that we all knew in middle school who had their Charlotte
-lornets Starter Jackets because they liked the colors. Are they true fans? No. They are
;irls more interested in pretty colors than the quality of the team.
This "pretty uniform" syndrome is not just a phenomenon among females. Many
nales have made claims that they love teams like the Oakland Raiders and the New
Means Saints because they love their uniforms.
This blind obsession is one of the many reasons that true fans no longer attend a loi
>f pro sporting events. The people attending the games are there for all the wrong reaions. They are not the true fans. The true fans can no longer afford to attend the games.
First of all, the ticket prices to most pro sporting events are astronomical, so the true
ans stay home while the tickets are given out by company bosses to their secretaries
>r bought up by the young professionals.
Second, half of the people at these sporting events are there to socialize, npt get
owdy. Lord knows how many baseball games I've been to where I have been asked
0 sit down by some wannabe bigwig on his cell phone. Like I have said before, a
porting event is an excuse to let the mob mentality take over. Get belligerent and
leckle. You are just an anonymous voice in the crowd that nobody will ever see again
ifter the night is over, so make the most of it.
And third, the appearance of a player is no excuse to take up a seat at an event.
Vomen used to flock to Orioles games just because they thought Brady Anderson was
tdorable. Are those the type of fans you want at your games? I sure wouldn't.
There is nothing wrong with being passionate about a team. But be passionate for
1reason; don't come up with a reason for being passionate.

immM*

What!
Wow!
M
Ouch, yeah ouch.
Heartbroken, not once, but twice, twice in less than 10 mjnutes and it took all of
eight seconds.
Eight seconds is all they needed.
Two games ending ten minutes apart and with it all coming down to a measly eight
seconds in two heartbreakers.
With one second left on the clock, as I began to celebrate a Penn State victory
Michigan scored a touchdown. A miracle yes, but I should have known better.
What was I thinking?
I should have known that the game is never over with time on the clock.
With seven seconds left in the game and Notre Dame about to dethrone No. 1 USC,
Matt Leinart dove into the end zone, saying not so fast.
Michael Robinson led one of the best Penn State drives in years. Just 53 seconds
on the game clock, no time outs, and he takes the Nittany Lions right into the end zone
silencing the Michigan fans.
It's over for Michigan and USC many thought.
Both PSU and Notre Dame had the game locked, or at least I thought they did, and
I am sure I was not the only one.
Speechless, I did not know how to respond.
How should 1 feel?
1 was stunned, but should I really be upset.
Sure I wanted to see Penn State remain undefeated and was ecstatic about the possibility of seeing Notre Dame stop the perfect Trojans.
Should 1 really be upset? After all this is why college football is so special. The
unknown, the opportunity for any team to win on any given day.
These two games were perfect examples of why college football is so captivating.
It was the beauty ofunpaid athletes, college students leaving everything on the field
for themselves, their coaches, their teams, their fans, their Universities, alumni, and
for the tradition of their beloved schools.
This was exactly why they play the game. It was two games that will go down in
history, not just for their result, but for how the games were played, to the end.
In two games, we saw four teams play all the way to the last whistle, leaving fans
exhausted, heads shaking, dreams shattered, and one impressive win streak still intact.
Heartbreakers, exactly what I didn't want, exactly what I feared, but exactly what
the beauty of college football is all about.

This is the beginning of the
chant club president and
founder Rick Harvey made up
last year when the Eagles Nest
Society first started building in
the Haven bleachers, on the
sidelines, in the gymnasiums
and now in the community.
The Eagles Nest Society,
formed at the beginning of last
year, has 68 active members not
counting the large number of
spirited participants at the
games.
They work in conjunction
with the cheerleaders and
marching band at games and
events with several organized
cheers and songs and act as a
university pep squad to assist in
school spirit and pride. The

is usually played by one of the
'Nesters.
"We are aiming to put a different face on students." said
Harvey. "Some ofthe community members have negative view
of college students, and we're
trying to change that." he said.
The club is getting involved in
different service projects to
incorporate school pride with
community pride.
So far they have collected
over $3,000 in donations for
Hurricane Katrina relief and
that amount is still growing.
Donations have been collected
from various clubs on campus
such as The Social Work Club
in addition to many personal
donations, donations from
downtown merchants and
through can collection. Just
over $ 1,000 was collected at the
Homecoming game alone giving the hurricane relief collection effort a healthy start.
With assistance from Mr.
Peter Campbell in the athletic
department, the bookstore, and
a grant from a national organization called Choice (promoting
non-alcoholic events), the club
is well underway to help with

the University Community
Partnership for Disaster Relief.
The club will donate all their
relief effort proceeds to local
Louisiana organizations and a
few ofthe club members will be
attending the Mountain Serve
trip south over Thanksgiving
break. The money is going to
eight small, local Louisiana
organizations. •
This week's theme for the
club is, "White Out IUP," in
which the club is asking Haven
supporters to wear white to the
home football game at Hubert
Jack Stadium at 1 p.m. "Show
your pride. Wear your white.
Let's 'White Out* IUP," said
Harvey.
The club is also planning to
help out with Make a Difference
Day downtown and in Triangle
Park on Oct. 19.
Their goal? It's simple. They
want to .show positive school
spirit and pride with as many
people as possible.
So, Hold that line for old
Crimson and White.
Sons and daughters show
your might.
So, Fight, Fight! For ole

Five favorite foods for less money
Cynthia Martinez
News Editor
Lock Haven University
sophomore. Heather Barbour,
laid in bed as she looked across
her bare white, brick dorm room
in High Hall. Across her room,
her sturdy desk held several
thick bound books and a long
"to do list" that waited to be
checked off.
She carefully pondered the
thought of getting up from her
comfortable bed to crack open a
book, but made no movements
besides the pressure ofher index
finger against the remote to
change T.V. channels.
After several hours of procrastination, Heather pulled her
midnight blue comforter that
hugged her body tightly, stood
up, and whisked her midnight
dark hair away from her face.
At that moment, she felt an
overwhelming feeling at the pit
ofher stomach. She recognized
this feeling all too well.
As her stomach began to
growl, her knees began to buckle at the thought of the emptiness inside ofher.
It didn't take too long before
she realized that hunger had
filled her thoughts. Her stomach
was begging for food, but her
cupboards were full of dust and
spider webs, and her wallet had
been nearly sucked dry from
weekend events. What is a college student to do?
Every college student faces
these problems at one time or
another; hunger, no food, and
limited funds from mom and
dad. "/ was hungry and had $3
to my name," said Heather as
she looked through her wallet.
;"In my college career I've
; learned to get by while staying
'. within my budget."
That's why this list gives
! every LHU student the opportunity to make the most out of a
little. While saving the best for
last, here are the top five meals
; on a college budget.
5. PB&J
This meal has been around
since sliced bread. Babysitters
across the country have made

Collage by Maggie HerricklEagle Eye

As everyone knows, eating a good meal for a decent price is not an easy thing during college. Some
foods, however, do provide a satisfying way to eat. These foods include Ramen, PB & J and soup.
peanut butter and jelly sand-

wiches for children who are old
enough to chew. Well now, this
can be your own inexpensive
college meal. All you need is
peanut butter for $1.49, jelly for
SI.89. and bread for SI.99 and
you not only have a tasty meal
but a fast meal too.
"1 like to get creative with
my PB & J sandwiches," said
junior Erin Froelich with a
clever smirk on her face. "If I
don't use jelly I use Fluff that
runs about the same price. I also
add bananas for potassium."
This meal gives even the
most inexperienced cook the
possibility to stir things up and
use their creativity.
4. Lipton's Rice Sides
Rice Sides ask for a little
more skill from an individual;
the skill of firmly pressing
microwave buttons. If done correctly, in just eight to 10 minutes

a college student can have sizzling taco flavored rice, or any
other tasty flavor oftheir liking.
All you need is a $.94 packet of
rice found at Wal-mart in Mill
Hall, and water to make this
delicious meal come alive on
your plate.
"These are really cheap and
tasty," said Erin. "And I usually

the most expensive meals on the along with an annoying room-

mate, or how to make sure you
wake up for an eight o'clock
class, but every freshmen knows
that's not the case. The truth is,
first semester students learn how
to cook Ramen Noodles without
the use of a stove.
"This is a meal that every
student makes at one point in
their college career," said senior
Kellie Bebee. "As soon as you
see the packaging it justreminds
you of your college days."
For $0.25 you can buy a
packet of Ramen Noodles at
Weis, located on Bellcfonte
Avenue, and make it in your
microwave in a matter of eight
minutes.
Adding water will do the
trick and constant stirring will
soften the noodles. After the
noodles are soft as a sponge,
add the flavoring that comes
in the packet, and you have
yourself a meal for $0.25.

Noodles never tasted so good.
I. Grilled Cheese and
Tomato Soup
"When you first think
about making this meal, it
sounds a little expensive for a
college student," said senior
John Davis. "But yet again,
I'm a college student; I know
how to get around these technicalities."
John Davis placed his
hands on his desk and pushed
himself up to his feet. He
walked towards his closet and
pulled out an ironing board
which he placed firmly in
front of him.
"I'm gonna show you a little trick that 1 picked up in my
five years of college." said
John as a grin stretched across
his face from ear to ear. "Now
this takes some practice but
it's possible."
As an iron began to warm
up, John took out two slices of
bread, a slice of cheese, and
laid them carefully on the
ironing board.
He then put the cheese
between the slices of bread
and placed the hot iron over
top, switching the sandwich
from side to side until the
bread had a toasty look to it
and the cheese began to ooze
from the edges.
"Making grilled cheese
was never this much fun,"
said John. "All 1 need is to
buy a $.89 can of tomato soup
from Wal-Mart and 1 got
myself a meal."

College
known for trying to make the
most out of a little, especially
when it comes to food and
their bank accounts. Students

have been known to crush aluminum cans for cash exchange
at a recycling center, they sell
previously written papers to
underclassmen, and they even
donate plasma for $50 in State
College for some extra spending money.
Although their means may
be low, you can never underestimate the creativity of a
student to make a great meal
on a college budget.

Mark Petrucelli plays the Inspector in the first of three plays sponsored by
the University Players. "An Inspector Calls" is directed by Anna Yothers.

After an enjoyable evening
of celebration, the Birling
family's safe and seemingly
secure reality is shattered
when "an Inspector calls."
What does the Inspector have
to tell them? How do they
react to the Inspector's interrogation? Who is to blame for
the crime?
The audience will be confronted with these questions
and more when the Lock
Haven University Players
opens their fall season with
"An Inspector Calls." The
curtain goes up in the
Countdown Theatre tonight at
8 p.m., and runs through
Saturday, Oct. 22.
Mr. and Mrs. Birling are
holding a small dinner party
in their home to celebrate the
engagement of their daughter,
Sheila, to Gerald Croft, a
prominent member of the
community. An inspector
interrupts the party to question the family about the
events leading up to a young
woman's suicide. As the play
unfolds, the Inspector reveals
that each member of the family has had some kind of sig-

nificant encounter with the
young woman that may have
caused her to commit suicide.
The Inspector provides the
Birlings with the opportunity
to discover how connected our
lives truly are and how
responsible we should be for
one another. How the Birlings
react to these revelations is
the central premise of "An
Inspector Calls."
The original production of
"An Inspector Calls" featured
Alec Guinness and opened in
1946. The play was adapted
for film in 1954 and featured
Alastair Sim as the Inspector.
Stephen Daldry's postmodern production of "An
Inspector Calls" enjoyed a 10year run on London's famed
West End. opening on Sept.
11, 1992 in the Lyttelton
Theatre and closing on May
11, 2002 in the Playhouse
Theatre.
Members of the university's ensemble cast include:
Chris Grouzes and Caitlen
Buck as Mr. and Mrs. Biding,
Jena Frankenburger as Sheila,
Eric Tuller as Gerald Croft
and Mark Petrucelli as the
Inspector. Rounding out the
ensemble cast are Matt
Faragasso as Eric Birling and
Erin Soring as Edna, the maid.
Anna Yothers, director and
costume designer, has been

involved with theatre at Lock
Haven University since 1999.
She directed "Car Pool"
(2001) and several small productions for directing class.
She also served as stage manager for several university
productions including "Blithe
Spirit" (2004), "Godspell"
(2002) , and "Same Time Next
Year" (2001).
The design team for the
production
consists
of
Amanda Whitesel, scenic
designer, Jenny Casalenuovo,
lighting designer, and Erin
Soring, prop designer. The
designers created two worlds,
one in which the characters
accept their contribution to
the girl's suicide, and one
where the characters do not
accept that guilt. These two
worlds will be created with
lighting effects, the use of a
partially raised stage, colors,
and more.
Admission is free to all
Countdown Theatre productions on a first-come, firstserve basis. All seats are general admission and seating is
limited. Please arrive early, as
latecomers will not be admitted. For further ticket information, contact the Lock
Haven University Department
