Lock Haven University raises Haiti awareness
Chris Britain
Guest Writer
cbritain@lhup.edu
If the death of more
than 200,000 people in
the Haiti earthquake
didn't stun Americans
into quiet disbelief, a
depiction from someone
who lost family in the
tragedy certainly did.
On
Wednesday,
February 3rd, Scarlette
Gaudin, a student at
Lock Haven University
was one of six panelists
who spoke to raise
awareness of the disaster, silenced the packed
Hall of Flags from the
moment she began
speaking.
"My grandmother
passed away within
this earthquake," said
Goudin who fought to
hold back tears while
giving the last presentation of the night, "My
aunt is sleeping in the
streets because her
apartment collapsed.
It's hard to hear things
like that."
Gaudin struggled to
contact much of her
family for several days
after the earthquake,
"My cousin has no
school, no money, and
her leg is broken.
Medical centers are
useless."

group to the native people in and around the
town of Nebaj this past
January.
Founded in 1984,
HELPS extends a hand
of help to people with
the hope that they will
become self-sufficient
and also give themselves and their children a better life and
future.
The
organization
focuses on 4 areas * of
development: healthcare, development, economic
development,
and environmental protection. All of their programs center around
any combination
of
these
four
areas.
HELPS focus is mainly
on the development of

Guatemala.
While several teams
travel to various parts
of the country about
every 2 weeks, the
Nebaj team was the
first of 2010. This particular team was aimed
at providing medical
care and assisting in
some community development.

The team met in
Guatemala City on Jan.
8, and headed up into
Nebaj on Jan. 9. The
team base is an abandoned military hospital
that is guarded 24/7 by

world. Clinics provide
the people with various

Also, the water in
Nebaj is like poison to
Americans. It is so contaminated that one
drop can instigate 12
hours of vomiting and
diarrhea. The unfortunate who encounter
this illness are forced to
have an IV to make
sure they are kept
hydrated. After
12
hours, the sickness has

but it can take up to 4

While it may not
seem as though a team
is capable of pulling off
a trip like this, it
always seems to come
together. The 2010
Nebaj team performed
90 surgeries, saw at
least 2000 people in

various dental and
medical clinics, and
installed 101 stoves
(including one at a local
school) over the course
of the 5 days. It sounds
impossible, but was
actually accomplished.
The team then leaves
Nebaj behind, and
starts plans for the
next year.
Any students wishing to participate in a
team like this is always
welcomed.

LOCK HAVEN, Pa.
Lock
Haven
University
has
announced that registration is now open for
LHU summer courses.
LHU is offering undergraduate courses on
both the main and
Clearfield campuses
and online, with offerings suitable for new
college students, continuing
students
matriculated at LHU
and other institutions,
returning adults and
graduate students.
LHU is providing
three summer sessions.
Summer Session 1 will
run from May 18 to
June 19, 2009 and
Summer Session 2 will
run from June 22 to
July 24, 2009. In addition, the university will
offer a 10-week session
from May 18 to July 24,

2009.
Interim Associate
Dean Cathi Gatewood
pointed out that many
of the courses are suitable for teachers seeking continuing education credit. She noted
other benefits of summer study, including
"an opportunity for students to focus intensely
on a particularly difficult subject or subject
of interest they may
otherwise not have a
chance to take." She
added, "Some students
may want to take general education'courses
to raise their gradepoint averages."
Gatewood emphasized that earning credits during the summer
may also help students
to graduate on time.
Registrar Jill Mitchley
added. "Online courses
enable students to
study from home, and
they can organize their

studies around theii
summer jobs." Both

revealing some of the
geological reasons for
the disaster. "In this
area, a major earthquake happens about
every 50 years," said
Dickson,
"However,
that doesn't mean that
it could have been predicted."
She went on to discuss the structural
damage to the buildings in Haiti by disbefore-andplaying
after pictures of the
wreckage. "Most buildings wouldn't collapse
like that because of the
rebar built into the
concrete. Buildings in
Haiti don't have that,"
said Dickson.

On his first day in

"Someone had been

Challenges change us
Sarah Cox
Perspectives Editor
scoxf« lhup.edu
Recently, I applied
to become a Resident
Assistant
for
the
upcoming semester. I
was very unsure of my
decision when it was
first made. I am a very
strong willed and independent individual but
at the same time I have
zero confidence
in
myself. I do not like
change either, but I
was ready for a new
obstacle to overcome. I
took a lot of time to just
consider my options
and where I stood in
terms of taking on this
position.
I tried to imagine
situations and how I
would deal with them
and in the end I finally
started believing that
in taking the chance
and going out for this
position, I would be
forcing myself to go outside of my comfort zone.
I feel this is something
everyone has to do ever
themselves.
It is human nature
to find something that
works for us in terms of
I like
order and to follow a
plan. The unexpected is
also welcomed but I
have to prepare myself
well before coming to a
conclusion. I am a big
planner to say the
least. I knew that I
have to be ready for any
situation and that I
would have to think on
my toes. I will face difficulties almost everyday
whether with my residents or how to balance
the constant responsibilities.
I felt that I was
ready to do something
more with my time.
Though this would
mean giving up a lot of

free time, I found an
abundance of interest
in the unknown. After
much thought and
coaching I decided to
fill out my forms and
begin work on my
homework assignment
that if I made it
through the first stage
of the process I would
have to present in front
of a group of strangers.
There were right away
two situations that I
did not do good with,
being vulnerable and
presenting.
I spent countless
hours on the collage
and I put every ounce of
honesty and creativity
into it I had, and in the
end I was surprised by
the result. I made
something that was
truthful to the person I
am. I was able to look
at the collage and see
myself as an individual
with many different
sides and emotions.
Once the collage
was finished I began
preparing myself for
the group interview
process. I would be
forced to work with a
group of people who I
knew nothing about.
Not only did I have to
work with them, but I
had to be myself and be
outgoing. Once I get to
know someone it is easy
for me to be outgoing
and fun of energy, but I
have to let my guard
down.
We were divided
into groups of six or
seven and we had to
present out collages,
perform an array of
group activities and
answer numerous questions. We were throw
through the directions
so fast that no one really had time to react and
surprisingly without
that extra time I was
able to just be outgoing
with have to slowly put

my guard down. The
group I was placed in
worked
well
very
together and we had
such a great time. It
was all around a great
experience that lead to
meet many new people,
that I could truly see
myself being friends
with.
No matter what the
outcome is in this situation, I feel that I have
changed for the better.
I have learned to take
pride in the things I do.
I need to except my failures, mistakes and my
imperfections and be
myself. Be the happy
individual that I am. I
need to stop worrying
about the little factors
that I face and just
learn to let things role
off of my back.
I know that the
work I did throughout
this process was to the
best of my ability. I put
my heart and soul into
every aspect of it and I
know that at the end
the decision being
made is in my best
interest. I gave up my
comfort zone and I put
myself out their for people to judge, but no
matter what happened
I felt good about my
answers. I was being
myself, which after 19
years, I learned is the
best thing to be.
I need to reach out
to more people and let
them see me for me. I
want to be judged,
whether for the good or
for the bad. I want no
regrets. I do not want
to be thinking about
this situation ten years
from now and realize
there was more I could
have done. I want to
take the steps to
becoming my own person. Though I was
nervous, unsure, and
completely frustrated
at points, all in all the

LHU students were
awakened Wednesday
morning at 5:45 a.m. by
the LHU Text Alert
which stated that campus did not have any
delays or cancellations
due to the inclement
weather - as opposed to
normal instances, when
the Text Alert is only
used to inform students
that the campus would,
in fact, be delayed or
closed. This began a
long day of confusion
and frustration for most
students.
Many students, especially those who are
commuters, found this
to be a big problem considering the roads were
unsuitable for travel.
This couldn't be the
best decision for students' safety, as seen by
other state schools cancelling classes; Keystone
Central School District
even cancelled school,
whose students and faculty have to deal with
the same conditions as
the LHU community.

surgeons.
They
assigned the test groups
tasks such as navigating
the instruments from one
part of the hip bone on a

using the computer-aided

arthroscopy system as a
guide. The time needed to
complete the procedure
was cut by 38 percent

when using the system,
Geist said. Additional
testing would have to be
conducted before the system could be marketed.

In addition to the possibility of perfecting
arthroscopic
surgery,
Geist and
Shimada
believe the system could
be used as a training tool.

The team continues to

work on improving the
design of the medical
device. One idea is to add
additional guidance for
the surgeon such as suggesting an optimal path to
the hip joint.
"The goal is not to
replace the surgeon but to
optimize the procedure,"
Geist said.

Addressing concern about LHU and its athletic department £

JmMfafaf//fau

Brian Shultz
Sports Writer
bshultzCfl lhup.edu

Counting down my
final days at LHU, I've
started to reflect on
my time here.
I think of my interests and hobbies and
relate them to my last
three years.
The two things that
really get me going are
playing music and
sports.
While
multiple
weekly gigs around
town have my music
fix quenched, I haven't
been to a 'major' LHU
sporting event in a
year and a half.
Nowadays, we live
in a world, and university, full of law suits
and corruption.
It's sad that at this
point in life we have to
expect these things,
but it seems as if that
is becoming reality.
So taking those
instances out of the
equation, one of the
most
disappointing
things about my college life is that I was
robbed of the enjoy-

ment of college sports.
First off, I would
like to congratulate
the successful sports
teams at LHU who
have done well over
my time here.
Hats off to the
multi-championed
softball team on their
success as well as
many other programs
we have here.
I love soccer and
have enjoyed going to
a handful of games, as
well as baseball and
field hockey, but I am
a minority for having
attended these sporting events.
The reality is; there
are two sports which
create an atmosphere
and
draw student
attention. Think of
prime time sports television and what do you
have? Football and
basketball.
These two sports
draw mass student
support and create
revenue for the whole
department.
Unfortunately,
these programs may
as well have not existed during my time

here. While the basbe any worse. It would

celebrating its one year anniversary
this Saturday, February 13.
Starting offthe day's festivities is a
10 a.m. Valentines children's book
reading of "If You Give a Mouse a
Cookie." Children will also be able to
participate in a free craft time as they
make their very own Valentine's Day

In the evening, the Jared Anthony
Show will celebrate its own two year
anniversary of performing together.
Jared Conti and Anthony LaLota
offer something different from the
average bar or coffeehouse group as
they bring a sound somewhere
between Tom Waits and Bruce
Springsteen with hints of 70s punk,
80s pop and 90s alternative rock.
On any given night, the audience
will hear cover songs by everyone
from Elvis Costello to Tom Petty to
the Clash. They also bring a number
of original songs; Conti's reciting of
poetry over LaLota's simple instrumental interludes rounds out the

show with a beat poetry type of feel.
The duo will have a small selectioi

Lock

Haven

University has had the
privilege to welcome
numerous award-winning authors, poets,
playwrights, and other
writers to campus as
part of the UpWrite
reading series. After a
semester-long hiatus,
the series is back with
more promise than
before.
Professor Marjorie
Maddox-Hafer of the
English department,
one ofthe minds behind
the series, credits its
return to its popularity:
"Because of the strong
impact of the series on

the surrounding coma

The

Reading Series, which
emphasizes diversity
from a number of different angles,
was
awarded a PASSHE

committee hosted fourteen acclaimed novelists, playwrights, short

ers, memoirists, poets,
and directors for a total
of fifteen
events.
Authors gave evening

screenings, and visited
English,
History,
Spanish,
Education,
and Theatre classes.
Each semester, writers
also met with such student groups as the
Black Student Union,
the
Asian-American
Association, Lyrically
and
Speaking,
Fulbright Scholar candidates.
Maddox-Hafer also
said, "Regrettably, due
to major adjustments
in the October 2009
adopted state budget,
the Chancellor's Office
now is unable to fund
the UpWrite Part II
proposal. We are grateful that individual
authors were very generous in coming for
reduced fees so that we
could continue the two
series."
This spring, the
series will be a combination of UpWrite and
Pennsylvania Authors'
reading series. Among
the writers visiting are
Rei
Kirk
Berroa,
Nesset, and Jeffrey
Frazier. Each author
also will visit classes
and meet with student
groups,
