Professor opens solo art exhibit

This past Monday, Feb.
18, Professor of Art, Jason
Bronner, opened his solo

exhibit at Coker
College in Hartsville. S.C.,
where his work from his
"Nightmare Series' is
being displayed.
The exhibit will be displayed until March 14. but
Bronner traveled down to
open the exhibit with a

Colleges and universities across the country,
including Lock Haven,
art

have open competitions to
select artists to create
exhibits in galleries. Last
year Coker College placed
a national 'calls for artists'
to submit their work.
Only six artists were chosen to have their work displayed at Coker throughout the year.
"I applied last year and
I feel honored that they
selected my work," shared
Bronner. "In some disciplines scholars are expected to publish books and
articles. In some discischolars write
plines
music or plays. In the studio arts, visual artists create artworks and seek to

have them displayed in
galleries, universities and
museums."
The 'Nightmare Series'
takes a strong focus on the
dog... not the friendly
domestic dog. but the
other wild side of the
beast.
Bronner added from
his artist statement, "I am
interested in the transition between sentry and
savage, security, and fear
and the possibility that
one form or subject can
represent both of these
opposing states."

throughout campus after last
Tuesday's large snow storm. After having two days worth of school cancelled
in the past two weeks, some have become curious on closing procedures.

The closure due to
inclement weather on
Wednesday, Feb. 13 has
been the source of some
angst among the university community.
The unrest surrounding LHU's second class
cancellation in two weeks
(the first coming on
Friday, Feb. 1) is primarily because the move from
a compressed schedule to
a closure was made while
some students faculty and
staff
members
were
already en route according
to Bill Hanelly.
Hanelly, the vice presi-

dent for finance, administration and technology,
who makes the recommendation to President Keith
Miller regarding closures
and delays, explains that
the decision is an involved
one.
"It starts with the facility people on the ground,
who give me a report
shortly after 5 a.m.," said
Hanelly.
The condition of campus, weather reports from
TV and radio as well as
area road conditions from
sources like Penn Dot's
Web site also inform
Hanelly's recommendation the president, who
has makes the official
judgment.

"Once a decision is

Hanelly.
From there the message of a closure or delay
is communicated to the
public through the university's Web site, inclement

and the new text message

RHA to host 2009 regional
'no-frills' conference
Jamie MacDonald
Staff Reporter
jmacdona@lhup.edu
Two weekends ago,
Lock Haven University
was one of the many
schools represented at
New Jersey Institute of
Technology for the Central
Atlantic
Affiliate
of
College and University
Residence
Halls
(CAAURH) Regional No
Frills 2008 Conference.
The conference allows
students in Residence
Hall Associations (RHA)
across the seven-state
region to share ideas in
leadership, diversity, and
other issues related to residence halls in a business
style atmosphere.
Not only did the delegates from LHU who
attended the conference
share their ideas and
make executive decisions
for the region, but they
went so far as to win the
bid to host the conference
at Lock Haven University
in 2009.
Bids are presented at
conferences at least one
year prior to the year the
school wishes to host the
conference. There is a list
of criteria and information
on what to bring to the bid

City requesting $10,000 from
county for regatta upgrades
Erin Hippie
News Editor
ehippleC« lhup.edu
Representatives from
the City of Lock Haven
came before the Clinton
County
Board
of
Commissioners
last
Thursday on behalf of the
Jaycees to request funds
for upgrading the electrical system used for the
annual regatta.
City Manager Rich
Marcinkevage and City
Planner
Leonora
Hannagan are requesting
$10,000
approximately
from the commissioners,
because they say that for
two years electrical prob-

lems have been occurring
during the regatta.
Marcinkevage explains
that the city is seen as a
facilitator for the Jaycees.
While the city owns the
floating stage, which is not
included in what is to be
upgraded, the Jaycees
own the rest ofthe electrical
system
including
Canal Park.
The city hopes to establish the current conditions
of the system, looking at
the loads that the wires
are holding, including
underground cables.
The city is hoping to
determine what is sufficient and what needs
improving.

Marcinkevage expects
the total cost to run
approximately $25,000 to
$30,000, and $7,500 has
been committed from the
Community Foundation.
"As
the
regatta
expands, this may become
unsafe,"
said
Marcinkevage.
And while the commissioners are worried about
the public's safety, they
are also worried that this
is an unbudgeted item.
"It's such a substantial,
unbudgeted item," said
Bossert. "But we give our
dedication to review this
item."

Taste of Lock Haven
brings community,

Less than 10 tickets
remain for the third
annual Taste of Lock
Haven scheduled for
next Tuesday evening in
the Thomas Field House,
according to Troy Miller,
the director of athletic
development.
The event, which is
sponsored by the LHU
Athletics Department
and the Crimson and
White Athletic Club,
provides
participants
with a smorgasbord of
delicious dishes from
area eateries for an
admission fee of $10.
Though the money

is
used for the
$3500,
Crimson and White's
athletic
scholarships,
the real purpose of the
evening is community
and university relations.
"It's not really a
fundraising event," said
Miller, "but more of a
community engagement
where fans and supporters of our teams can
interact with our athletes."
About 300 tickets are
available for the event
each year, a limit that
Miller explains helps
restaurants to prepare
an accurate amount of
food since attendees'
only limit is their stomachs.
The theme for this
year's Taste of Lock

Haven is a Valentine's
Day second chance.
"We thought about
doing it on Valentine's
Day, but restaurants
were unable to commit
that
day," ■ Miller
explained, "All the committee members could

The tasty dishes and

said
Miller, "so people can

The Haven's sports

"We are also proud of
the
accomplishments,

of our young studentathletes," said Sharon

released by the athletics
department, "and hope
that by providing one
more place for them to
interact with the community, lasting relation-

ships can be built and
maintained.
Taylor and Miller
lauded the community's
support in this endeavor
as tremendous.
Some of the local
restaurants who will be
putting their best food
forward for the evenings'
meal include Classic
Fare Catering, Caffeine
Nation, Casa De Lobo,
Clinton Country Club,
Curt's Smokin' Ribs,
Domino's Pizza, Dutch
Haven
Restaurant,
Market, RFC,
Fox's
Perkin's
McDonalds,
Restaurant and Bakery,
Pizza House, Pizza Hut,
Starbucks, Texas Lunch
and Wendy's.
The feedback from
participants, both the
diners and the featured
sponsors has been overwhelmingly
positive,
according to Miller and
ticket sales alone tell
that story.
"We're selling out
earlier and earlier," said
Miller. "The community
has been very, very
involved from the start
and are just becoming
more so."

obtaining tickets for the
event are encouraged to

Hanelly will also oversee new construction projects for facilities on campus.

His fourth sector is the
computing center which
encompasses all university computers, smart classrooms, phone systems and
the entirety of technology
on campus.
Lastly, Hanelly is responsible for managing student financial services
which provides student
aid and processes student
payments.
"I have these five functional areas in which I
have general management
over, and I am also on the
president's
leadership
board," said Hanelly.
Hanelly believes that with
his previous experience,
he is qualified for this
position.
"I have served at the vice
president level for purand
chasing
facility
administration for various
companies," said Hanelly,
"but this is my first time
in the public sector."
Being in a public institu-

fBlSHHL.

tion, Hanelly recognizes
the importance of making
himself available to students.
"I meet with S.C.C. representatives on a monthly
basis, as they're a conduit
for expressing student
concerns," he said. "So
far, most ofthe issues that
have been brought to my
attention are related to
potential
physical
improvements."
Hanelly is also available
on Tuesdays from 2 to 4 in
Sullivan 303 where he
encourages students to
"stop by and chat or voice
concerns."
Hanelly also has a few
goals in mind for everimproving Lock Haven:
"We are looking at
improving and upgrading
facilities, and we have a
project underway now to
put up a new academic
building on the Clearfield
campus. We're also hoping to begin construction
of the new science center
at East Campus with
design starting in the fall
of this year."

Are there some subliminal mind control messages on Face Book, My

If you join an amusingly titled special interest
group on your online community does that make up
your entire political agenda? What's going on people? This is America right?
In an age where infinite amounts of credible
information are immediately at our disposal we
tend to generalize, and
succumb to what I'd like to
call "the sheep effect" (to
follow blindly without
inquiry).
These deep seated concerns of mine are rooted
by the criticisms against
my friend Hillary Rodham
Clinton amongst some
people my age. It's like the
Salem witch trial.
So I ask my college
educated peers, why do
you think so? Why such
cruel outlook? Some bottom-barrel reasons like
"She's snobby," "She's the
devil," "You are mad for
supporting her" and "If

she wins I'm moving to
Canada" just do not cut
the mustard. (Well at least
in Canada you don't have
to worry about "how am I
going to afford my medical

Those days are big bummers. It seems like nothing can go right for you on
those days, whether its

But then there are
those times when you get
really pumped and think.
"This is amazing. My life

that make life worth all

great, but it wouldn't be.
Life would be boring. If
everything was spectacular all the time, those
spectacular
moments
would become a normal
event. It takes those terrible events for us to appreciate the small moments
in life that when they happen, they're shown as the
spectacular moments that
they are.
So you see, when horrible times happen, it's not
as bad as you think it is.
This is because just like
how life isn't full of those
wonderful,
spectacular
moments, life also isn't
full of horrible times.
Things will even themselves out eventually. Life
makes you appreciate
these moments that make
you feel awesome inside
and I for one am not going
to waste it.
So when someone asks
me how life is, I'll tell
them the truth: "Life's

spectacular."

to the people of Kosovo.
The former province of Serbia declared its
independence this week. The move sparked controversy, as western nations offer their support for the
fledgling country and Russian officials decry it as

illegal and capable of producing massive negative

consequences.

Whatever the consequences may be, the
people of Kosovo have asserted their right to selfdetermination and, if nothing else, deserve credit
for standing up for what they believe in.

Thumbs Down

...

Saudi Arabia's Commission for the
Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice,
who issued a statement defending its arrest of an
American woman who was caught having coffee
with a man in Riyadh.
The woman was allegedly strip-searched,
forced to sign a confession and told by a judge that
she would burn in Kelt
"It's itot*allowed for any woman to travel
alone and flit with a strange man and talk and laugh
and'drink ooffee together* like they are married,*'

actually occurs in the modern world. , .

who helped us through the
civil war, the ever strong
leader who carried us
through the war to end all
wars and the "great communicator" who helped
end the Cold War, receive
as much campus recognition as any student who
goes to class.
Again, while only advocating for fairness of each
holiday, the federal government closes office on
and
Presidents
Day
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Day, so as a university we
have two choices.
We could stay open for
both holidays and have a
campus celebration of
each as they both could be
great opportunities for
students to learn further
about the history of our
great nation. Or we could
close both days and use

that as our honorary symbol of thanks to some of
the greatest men to grace
this nation.
After all, on that late
August day over 47 years
ago, King was looking for
equality for
AfricanAmericans with the rest of
the nation, so why would
we in turn choose for a
lack of equality for the
men who struggled for our
freedoms, including the
freedom which allowed
King to deliver those illustrious words from the
Capitol?
Just some food for
thought on a topic close to
my mind as I traveled
across the campus on
Monday,

,

As I roamed the
grounds of The Haven on
Monday a strange thought
occurred to me: A month
ago, I got to kick back and
relax on Martin Luther
King Jr. day, but on a day
commemorating our 39
deceased presidents, we go
to class.
I'm not writing to advocate for another day off,
I'm just writing to bring to
the readers minds the folly
of the university's decision
and the lack of equality in
their decision.
While we have a day
off, the day after we
always have the treat of
listening to various speak-

era including this past
year's speaker, our very
own multi-purpose man
Albert Jones, speak of
Martin Luther King, Jr.
and the great strides our
great nation has taken
since he spoke those
unforgettable words in
front of the memorial of
one of our most revered
Abraham
presidents,
Lincoln.

Your opinion editor is
getting old.
Well, being on the cusp
of 23 may not be old in the
strictest sense, but it is
nonetheless sobering to
think that my college
career is nearing its completion. After four-and-ahalf years, I am at long
last a senior. Because of
the awkward path I've
traveled since finishing
high school, I will (hopefully) be graduating in
December of this year.
It is interesting to me
to think about how different my perspective is from
that of the 18-year-old
Chris who entered the
world of higher learning in
2003.
So in the vein of the
freshman
perspective
columns that appeared in
these pages last semester,
I would like to offer a few
thoughts and observations
from my senior point of
view.
1 miss general education.
Aside from a chemistry
seminar, all of my classes
this semester are requirements for my major. While

mm>

communication media is a
fascinating and enjoyable
area of study, and I am
practicing skills I will use
in my future career, I do
miss getting credit for sitting through lectures on
subjects I didn't realize I
would have an interest in.
Being able to gain a
somewhat in-depth knowledge on such topics as philosophy, sociology and history in a classroom environment is a tremendous
opportunity that more
often than not is taken for
granted.
We should try to appreciate the chance to study
these and other fields
while we still have it,
because after we enter the
workforce, we may never
have another one again.
This leads me to my
next observation.
You have to want to be
in college.
I don't just mean
because "it's the most fun
time of your life," or so you
can "experiment" and "put
off life for a few years."
We have the privilege
of acquiring invaluable
knowledge and taking a
critical step toward a fulfilling career. This should
be our primary focus, or
else we are really just
wasting our time.
I may be starting to

sound a bit condescending,
so I'd like to clarify that I
do think most LHU students understand this. An
alarming number of college students don't, how-

;fc»r.

ever. At 18, I was one such
student and I am fortunate to have learned my
error before it was too
late.
Save your partying for
the weekend.
This one is critical. It
goes without saying that
you shouldn't be drinking
underage, but partying is
pervasive on and around
college campuses.
I can't judge anybody
too harshly, because I've
been known to imbibe a
beer or two from time to
time. When school is in
session, though, those
times are all on Friday or

Saturday night.
Far too many promising young people wash out
of college because they
can't handle the responsibility and freedom that
come with it. 1 can't say
much
more
without
sounding preachy, but I
will say that I have
learned that one night of
fun isn't worth disrupting
your academic obligations.
My schedule always
seems impossible the first
day of the semester.
Every semester, without fail, I receive my syllabi and think 'there's no
way this can all be done,'
and every semester, without fail (except for a couple of "lost semesters"), it
all gets done.
Any good challenge
seems daunting at first,
but it's seldom as forbidding as it appears in your
mind. The key, as mundane as it may be, is simply time management.
Planning for the tasks
ahead of you really does
make all the difference.
As I think about the
potential of life after college, this last thought
sticks with me the most.
Not knowing what's ahead
may be part of the fun of
it, but tentative plans
make it a lot less intimidating.

Barriers break in Black History Month
They may seem like small
victories. And its true they are
dwarfed in comparison to the
fight for emancipation, the right
to vote, integration in public
schools and countless other
freedoms we take for granted in
this country.
But in recent years, African
Americans have made strides
and have broken barriers from
the seemingly trivial to the

downright historic.
Some may scoff at the idea
of the sports world acting as a
mode for measuring a sense of
social change, but the truth is
sports has come to signify so
much more than mere entertainment for us.
In the last two Super Bowls,
blacks have shattered racial
barriers.
In Super Bowl XLI, for the
first time in football history, a

black coach made it to the
Super Bowl, In fact the representatives for both conferences
made history with their race.
Lovie Smith of the Chicago
Bears and Tony Dungy of
Indianapolis Colts saw to it that
the first time a black man was
coach in the Super Bowl, there
were two.

Tony Dungy therefore
became the first black coach to
win a Super Bowl in the history
of the game.
This year's huge upset by
the New York Giants in Super
Bowl XLII brought forth yet
another racial first.
Jerry Reese became the first
general manager in the sport to
take the Lombardi trophy for his
team.
But sports is not the only
place that progress on the
racial front is being made in

these small triumphs.
Barack Obama is running
neck and neck in one of the
most historically loaded primary
races in U.S. history.
The victor of the Democratic
candidacy will shatter a barrier
no matter who wins. One will
turn the gender stereotype on
its head and the other will
destroy the racial tradition.
In this Black History Month
we should, as Americans of all
colors, be able to look back at
the enormous accomplishments
of the past and watch as barrier
after barrier is crumbled by
leaders in sports, film, business
and politics.
Race and the challenges
that accompany it are very
much alive in America, but the
changes and triumphs signifya
move in the right direction that
we should embrace.

The campus maintenance crew will add eight employees for warmer seasons. Students can expect to see various aesthetic improvements taking place
around campus in the next few months as the university prepares to hire eight
full-time temporary grounds people and maintenance workers. According to Bill
Hanelly, vice president for finance, administration and technology, more maintenance workers can always be used because with more workers, a better looking campus is provided to students, faculty, staff and visitors. So, just as in
years passed, the university will instill a program in which there are a higher
number of maintenance workers for the warmer months, helping to augment the
already hard-working team. The temporary employees will work from March
through November with responsibilities of upkeep to the athletic fields and overall beautification of campus.
Above, common areas like this portion of Ivy Lane behind Rogers Gym will be
one of the places on campus that will benefit from the increase in workers.

After a grueling weekend of action two weeks
ago, both the men's and
women's track and field
teams were eager to compete at this past weekends Susquehanna Open
where they would end up
turning out some impressive results.

Leading the way, once
again, would be Chelsea
Morse, who took first in
the high jump competition with a leap of 1.67m.
Morse would continue
to capitalize on her success in the long jump
competition where she
took third-place with a
jump of 5.17m.
"Morse is having a
great year," said Co-Head
Coach
Heather
Leverington. "She always
rises to the occasion and
it seems the higher the
stakes the higher she
jumps."
On the men's side,
Greg Mock continues to
impress during his break
out season with two second-place finishes. In the
55 meter dash Mock
clocked in at a time of
6.55 which was just short
of WCU's Jarret Eaton
who took first with a time
of 6.54.

Mock would eventually cap off his day off with
another second-place finish in the 200 meter dash,
coming in at a time of
23.08, just under a tenthof-a-second shy of first.
Not to be outdone, a
slue of fellow Haven competitors turned out some
strong
performances
themselves.
Amanda Reinmiller
made the high jump competition a 1, 2 finish for
the Lady Eagles coming
in second-place with a
leap 1.62m just behind
Morse.
In the 400 meter dash
Shala
competition,
Simms managed a second-place finish clocking
in at a time of 1:00.33,
while teammate Alaina
Leonard took third in the
weight throw with a toss
of 15.02m.
Before the day was
done the Lady Eagles
would also go on to capture first-place in the
4x200 relay with a time of
1:48.45. while fairing just
as well in the 4x400 relay
with a second-place finish
in a time of 4:03.56.
Bald Eagle thrower,
Randy Sylvia, had a productive day as well.
Sylvia took home second
in the weight throw competition with a throw of
16.93m.

Dynasty 500
Garrett Graziano
Sports Editor
ggrazian@lhup.edu
My co-editor James wrote some
jibber-jabber about the Hendricks
Motorsports dynasty last week, what
a piece of garbage.
NASCAR's biggest race (super
bowl equivalent) is the Daytona 500.
The 500 is the one race every driver
wants to win before their time is
done and it's how we measure how
good a driver's career actually was.
Sure, a driver can win the cup
championship, but without the illustrious Daytona win there credibility
adds up to virtually nothing.
Take Dale Earnhardt Sr. for
example. Arguably the best driver of
all time, winning multiple championships and every other race, Dale
Earnhardt's 1998 Daytona win will
ultimately be his biggest achievement. So big in fact, that every driver and every crew went out to celebrate his win with him instead of
sulking at their own defeat.
And it's because of this, that
Hendricks, even if they win another
championship, will not be a true

dynasty.
If you have to win three Super
Bowls, World Series or national
championships to be considered a
dynasty, shouldn't the same rule
apply to NASCAR's Daytona 500.

I know it may sound stupid to
base a dynasty off the first race of the
year, but I can argue that it's stupid
to put the sport's biggest race at the
beginning of the year where it has no
implication on how the rest of the
season turns out.
And seeing as how this will never
change the Daytona 500 will forever
be the main catalyst in judging a dri-

ver's worth.
For Hendricks to be true dynasty.
their best shot would have been
between 2004-2006. Dale Earnhardt
Jr. won the race in 2004, followed by
Jeff Gordon in 2005 and Jimmie
Johnson in 2006. The only problem
was Earnhardt Jr. was not a driver
for Hendricks then; therefore it's a
void issue.
Since Johnson's victory in 2006, a
Hendricks driver has not finished in
the top five in the last two 500's.
In fact it's been embarrassing to
say the least. In 2007 a Hendricks
driver didn't even finish in the top
10, while this past weekend's race
3aw 1-4 dream team drivers (Gordon,
Johnson, Earnhardt Jr. and Casey
Mears) finish within a single digit
position.
There is no doubt that Hendricks
is the powerhouse team in NASCAR,
but being a powerhouse means nothing if you cant win the big one. See
the Patriots for further explanation.

Boxing teams hosts 29th
Annual LHU Invitational
Clayton D. Desmond

The
Lock
Haven
University hosted another successful 29th Annual
LHU Invitational last
Saturday in the Thomas
Field House.

Twelve hotly contested bouts were held on
Saturday evening on the
main (open division) card
while 12-bouts were contested Saturday afternoon on the preliminary
card (novice division).
Over 3,000 boxing enthusiasts turned out to
watch the 24 bout card,
with a capacity crowd
witnessing the evening
(main) card.
The
defending
National
Collegiate
Association
Boxing
(NCBA)
Team
Champions, the Bald
Eagles won five of nine
open division bouts on
the main card.
Leading the attack
was Addy Pizarro, 132
(sr., 20-3) who scored a
Referee Stops Contest
(RSC) at 1:20 of the third
round over Army's J.T.
Taylor. For his efforts,
Pizarro was voted the
"Outstanding Boxer" by
the referee and judges.
The popular senior
from Bethlehem, Pa.,
upped his career record
to an outstanding 20-3.
Pizarro, a 2006 national
bronze medalist got off to

a quick start and domi-

nated the Cadet from the
opening bell scoring several
standing
eight
counts before dropping
his opponent with a
vicious right cross late in
the third round forcing
the referee to put an end
to the bout.
Also winning big for
the Haven was 195 lb.
Aaron Lynch (senior, 108) who won a 3-0 decision
over Mansfield's Chris
Phifer in an exciting
bout.
Lynch, a 2007
national runner-up at
195 won all three rounds
over the bigger Phifer,
who signed in at 6'5", 240
lbs. and was a national
semi-finalist at heavyweight last year.
Scoring a minor upset
for the Bald Eagles' was
William Goss, 139 (freshman, 2-2) who came on
strong in the third round
to decision Mansfield's
veteran Will Labor, 3-0.
Goss out conditioned his
opponent and used a
rapid fire left jab to control the bout.
Also winning for Lock
Haven
Danny
was
Marrero, 156 (senior, 197) who scored an impressive
Stops
Referee
Contest (RSC) at 1:30 of
the third round over
national qualifier Isaiah
Varisano
of
Shippensburg. Marrero,
the flash senior continues
to show improvement and
scored several standing
eight counts over the veteran Varisano.
"This was Danny's

most impressive victory
since he started here
with us four years ago,"
said Head Coach Dr. Ken
Cox.
"We had another great
home show," said Dr.
Cox. "It takes hundreds
of hours of preparation
and numerous volunteers
to pull off a successful
home show. The crowd
as 'outstanding' and the
fans were treated to
excellent boxing.
Our
senior leadership co-captains Addy Pizarro and
Danny Marrero; National
Champion,
Josh
Wisniewski and club
president, Aaron Lynch
deserve special acclaim
along with associate head
coach Ken Cooper and
assistant coach John
Stout.
It takes team
work and a passion for
the sport."
The
Bald
Eagles
return to action this coming Saturday on two
fronts. Six boxers will
travel to Mansfield with
Coach Cooper and four
boxers will head down to
Navy with coaches Stout
and Dr. Cox.
"I thought both Belle
and Baxter gave a good
account of themselves,"
said Coach Stout.
LHU's fifth victor was
185 lb. Greg Stratton (junior, 6-8) who hung on in
the third round to edge
Penn
State's
Joe
McDonald in a 2-1 split

decision.

bouts,
defending national champion, Josh Wisniewski,
125 (senior, 20-7) moved
up to 132 lbs. and dropped
another highly controversial 2-1 split decision to

Cadet's tight defense, but
the capacity and partisan
crowd gave the boxers a
standing ovation at the
bouts conclusion displaying their appreciation for
their gallant effort. Both
coaches, Ken Cooper and
John Stout showed their
displeasure with the verdict mirroring the reaction
of the partisan crowd.
The
preliminary
(novice) card in the afternoon consisted of 12 bouts.
Winning for the Bald
Eagles was Joe Finneran,
132 (freshman, 1-1) who
won a 2-1 split decision
over Gabe Nelson, USCGA

Ship climbed out to an
early second half lead of
41-38 after a 9-3 run but
Billy Arre would net two
baskets in a row to give
the Haven a one-point
edge.
Over the next six minutes, the Bald Eagles
would go on a 12-2 run to
give them a double-digit
lead, 54-43.
With a little over five
minutes to play, Ship cut
the Lock Haven lead back
down to six just to see the
Bald Eagles go on yet
another run, thanks to Eli
Hanna and AJ Zimmer to
make the score, 71-57.
The pesky Red Raiders
would not let that stop
them as they forced key
turnovers to cut the
Haven's lead down to five,
79-74. Ship would foul but
crucial free throws from
Kelvin McLean would seal
the deal for Lock Haven
with an 81-74 win.
"We shot the ball well.
Kelvin and Eli really
stepped up big and took
some of the scoring load
away from Billy. We need
guys to have games like

that," said Wilson. "If

we

don't shoot the ball well
early in the game, you can
see that opposing defenses
concentrate on Billy, and
put two or three guys in
his face every time he gets
the ball."
The Bald Eagles successfully swept the season
series from Ship, collecting both of their wins
against the Red Raiders.
The Haven would shoot
lights out from the field as
they shot 50% from the
field and also 12-23 from
the three-point line.
Billy Arre would again
lead Haven scorers with
22 but he would get key
contributions from Kelvin
McLean and Eli Hanna,
both with 17. McLean also
grabbed six boards.
"The defense tends to
shrink a little more when
you can work well inside.
It will open up the perimeter, and it gave us the
opportunity to hit some of
those good looks," said
Wilson. "Later in the
game, we were able to get
that good penetration and
it enabled us to kick the
ball out for those open 3pointers."
The Haven would trav-

looking to carry their
momentum from their
previous win. The Bald
Eagles would dig themselves in a hole early as
they trailed 10-2.
They would show some
fight as they clawed back
to take a slim 26-24 lead
going into halftime. The
teams would go back and
forth for the first part of
the second half as the
game found itself locked at
40 but the Vulcans would
take control from there.
The Haven would trail
by as much as 18 in the
second half and just couldn't rally back as they fell
by 12, 70-58.
Kelvin McLean would

Students will get a
chance to experience all
the well-known aspects of
Italian culture, but at the
same time get to know the
real Italy.
"We will spend a few
weeks in Cassino, Italy,"
Bronner said. "Cassino is
a smaller Italian town
which is not overrun with
tourists. It is a good town
to spend some time, in
part because most people
do not speak English. In
Cassino, students get to
see Italian life less influenced by outsiders and
tourists."
The group is also going
to spend time in Florence,
Naples, Rome and Venice.
"All of these cities are

rich history. We incorporate the cultural wealth of
the region by going on
many field trips, often led
by knowledgeable guides,
in the afternoons and on
some of the weekends as
well."
The trip still has nine
spots available, and students can sign up for the
trip through mid-March.
Students on a tight
budget can really get a lot
of bang for their buck with
this trip.
The approximate cost
of the trip is $3,000
including the $1,500 for
six credit hours.
Goulet also added,
"The exchange rate of the
Mexican peso is still quite
favorable with the U.S.
dollar, unlike the euro.

assignment for the course.
It allows them to think
about the things we discuss in the classes and
make connections with
some of the experiences
they have outside the
class."
Goulet also thinks students can gain a new
appreciation of Mexico
during this trip.
"Mexico is a great
country to visit and since
it borders the U.S.. I think
all Americans should try
to visit and understand
this
and
fascinating
diverse country to our
south," Goulet explained.
"I can guarantee that
many of the students who
participated in the 200")

beautiful and extremely
important in terms of art
history, the history of
Christianity, and the hisof architecture,"
tory
Bronner said. "In these
cities, students get to
study the art and architecture of Michelangelo,
Raphael,
Leonardo,
Caravaggio and all of the
great Italian artists and
architects."
This course will take
place during Summer
Session I, and applications
will be accepted until
March 4.
Bronner feels his trip is
a great opportunity for
students to have fun and
gain a new perspective.
"I think whenever students can visit another
culture or country they
should. It only helps you
to understand yourself
and the world better," he
said.
"Why this program?
Well, it is almost impossible to find a better deal for
the money. Plus the food
is the best I have ever
had," Bronner reasoned.
His favorite aspect of
the trip is watching students interact as they discover a new culture.
"It is so pleasing to see
the students present their
viewpoints passionately
about the art work they
have visited. I love seeing
the students excited about
the art and their experience. This is why I teach.
For me there is no better
thing in the world," he
said.
Dr. Richard Goulet is
taking
students
to
Zacatecas, Mexico, for a
five-week summer program starting June 1.
Goulet said, "One of
the reasons Zacatecas is
such a great place to go is
because it has a long and

who sign up will receive
$250 travel grant from the
Institute for International
Studies toward the cost of
the airfare."
Goulet enjoys getting
students to connect with
the history of a foreign
country and understand it
more concretely.
"There
are
many
aspects of history which
seem very abstract, I
think, for many students,
but when you can actually
see certain aspects of the
history you are studying,
this really enriches the
experience for the student," he said. "This is
demonstrated by the journal that students have to
keep throughout their trip
and is the main written

ceived ideas and Stereotypes, And these were
positive discoveries for
these students. They had
a great time," he said.
Students interested in
any summer study ahroad
programs should contact
the professors as soon as
possible.
Earlier sign up means
better deals, and students
should also get a jump on
applying for a passport,

However, every job has
its downfalls. When it

can be rather challenging.
In addition, Henderson
points out that within the
business field some of the
difficulties include a large

this profession.
"There is a large pool of

Nonetheless, with the
proper real life experiences, focus on educational training and the desire
to excel, majoring in business administration can
definitely be one of the top
paying jobs, according to

Henderson.

'Jumper' offers sightseeing
Kara Wilt
Online Editor

He's standing right in
front of you, blink, and
he's across the room, blink
again, and he's back
where he started - yes, he
is a jumper.
Director Doug Liman's
film "Jumper," staring
Hayden Christensen as
David, Rachel Bilson as
Millie and Samuel L.
Jackson as Roland is creative and unique.
In the movie, jumpers
are those who can teleport
themselves from one location to another without
much effort.
They merely have to
think about the place they
want to be and the next
thing they know: they are
there.
How would that be for
t he romantic life'.'
Whisking your loved
one away to a far off destination that they would
have never even dreamt of
seeing otherwise.
It's enchanting to think
about.

David's life may seem
dreamy; however, what he
does not know is that he is
about to be abruptly shaken awake.
David, when trying to
impress his high school
crush Millie, first becomes
conscious of his ability to
teleport himself while
struggling to get out of a
bind one of his bullying
classmates has caused.
It becomes clear when
he ends up in the public
library and had no idea
how he got there.
As he gets older, he
begins to use his gift to his
own materialistic likings:
however, in his carelessness it leads the demise of
loved ones and his own life
being at stake.
Roland, a secret agent,
has spent years tracking
jumpers and killing them.
The boy's mother, whom
he had not seen since he
was 5 years old. turns out
to also have a connection
with this group. She. however, still seems to have a
more sympathetic bone
left in her body after all.
The conclusion of the
movie was well thought

up. It allows the viewer to

wonder what will happen
in the next chapter
between the two.
When it came to special
effects, the movie seemed
almost flawless.
At one point, it seemed
as if a bus were about to
burst through the screen.
And there are times
when things seem so real
that you would never
imagine that this movie
could be fictional.
Despite the flawless
special effects, there were
a few Haws in the plot of
the story.
The writer never really
tells you why Roland is
after David, other than
that he is jumper.
There could have been
a little more explanation
as to why they were after
the jumpers to kill them.
There were a couple
scenes in the movie that
did not seem to fit the flow
of the story.
All-in-all. the film was
entertaining and fun.

Sara
Pop-sensation
Bareilles amazes
the
music industry with her
album "Little Voices."
Bareilles, a hip young
singer/songwriter,
was
signed to Epic Records in
2005 because of the potential and raw talent she
personified.
Epic Records is famous
for its ability of realizing
the talent, as this company has signed such artists,
as Fiona Apple, Natasha
Bedingfield and Jessica
Simpson.
According to her website
sarabmusic.com,
Bareilles mentions how
sacred songwriting is to
her in life and how that
leads her to process her
own world.
It's pretty remarkable
how one thing in life could
lead a person to love what
they do and to take it

"Little

is
Bareilles' first album and,
in my opinion, one that
will place a huge impact in

the music industry.
Being very talented at

a
young
age,
Bareilles has that ability
to set herself apart from
other female artists of
today due to her incredible
vocal skills and phenomenal piano playing ability.
If an artist can play
any kind of instrument
whether it may be the
piano or guitar, she/he will
have that extra edge that
makes this artist unique.
Because Bareilles has
the piano playing ability,
she definitely has that one
foot up from the rest.
It is safe to say that if
you listen to her album,
you will probably wind up
singing along to the catchy
tunes.
Bareilles definitely has
that kind of flair to create
original ideas in an interesting way.
Not only is how she
arranges her songs a classic, but the lyrics allow for
it to become inspirational.

Summer

courses

Amanda Alexander
Staff Reporter
aalexan3f« lhup.edu
For students looking to
get a seminar or general
education class out of the
Way and maybe have a little bit offun doing it, LHU
offers several inexpensive
study abroad courses in
the summer semester of

2008.
These courses are also
great for students who
have never been outside
the U.S. because they hit
all the important tourist
spots and are meant to be
safe and well supervised.
Some study abroad
summer courses offered
for 2008 include basic biology in China; humanities
seminar in Italian art and
painting in Cassino, Italy;
humanities seminar in art
in London and Paris; and
a social science seminar,
Spanish conversation, and
business
courses
in
Zacatecas. Mexico.
These courses are open
to all LHU students, and
non-LHU students can
also come along as guests.
A guest must be invited by
a student going on the
trip.
Each study abroad
course offers a unique
view of the topics being
taught.
Dr. Philip Huber, the
professor leading the trip
to London and Paris, said
these are two of the best
places for students to
learn about art firsthand.
"London and Paris
have arguably the best
museums in the world,"' he
said. "There are some very
special pieces that you can

He also added that the
cities are easy to navigate,
and from a practical
standpoint the course covers

requirements that students need for graduation,
and it is also cross-listed
as a graduate level course.
The course lasts nine
days, and the departure is
May 18. Unfortunately,
this course is already full
for 2008, and is spots are
already quickly filling up
for the 2009 trip.
Huber's favorite aspect
of the trip is helping students get to know a new
and different culture.
"Seeing our students experience it" is his favorite
part.
"It is the best thing I
do. to take students to
Europe," he said. "It's a
wonderful opportunity for
me."
This is Huber's 13th
London and Paris tour.
Huber said most students
who take the trip get "a little taste" of foreign culture, and it makes them
eager to go back as soon as
they can.
"I never stopped," he
said using himself as evidence of this rule.
Dr. Barrie Overton,

who is teaching the biology class in China, said it's
a great opportunity for
students to get more than
they expect from a general
education class.
"If you need a general
education science class,
why not take it in China?"
Overton reasoned. "In

Comedic clowning abounds in UFs newest show
Jessica Horbach
Feature Editor
jhorbach(« lhup.edu
Welcome to the opening
show of the University
Players spring season.
"Fuddy Meers," a broad
comedy with theatrical
clowning, will be opening
Feb. 27, 28, 29 and March
1 in the Sloan Countdown
Theatre beginning at 8
p.m.

The play, written by
David Lindsay-Abaire, is
the story of a woman,
Claire, who does not
remember anything about
her life.
She wakes up everyday
not knowing who she is or
where she is.
Her husband, Richard
Fiffle, comes to her rescue

everyday and tells her
information about the life
that she has lived and is
living.
One day, a man comes
into her life and turns her
completely around.
According to the press
release provided by Dr.
Christine Woodworth from
the
performing
arts
department, this is the
moment of the story where
everything starts getting a
little crazy and fun.
Many other characters
are found in the play to
help Claire on her journey
in finding her life.
Admission for the play
is free, but seating is limited, so make sure to get
there early enough for a
good seat.

It is recommended that
students get there by 7:45
p.m. because latecomers
will not be allowed into the
theatre.
Tickets will be available outside of the
Countdown Theatre at 6
p.m. each evening the play
will be running.
Directing his first play
on the LHU stage will be
Dr. Dale J. Young, assistant professor in the
department of performing
arts-theatre division.
The style of the play
which he has put in, theatrical clowning, involves
comedic performance with
visual
humor
that
includes broad physical
forms of comedy and big
characterizations, accord-

ing to "Fuddy Meers" publicity information.
"Fuddy Meers" was
originally produced on
Oct. 12, 1999 at the
Manhattan Theatre Club.
The play has seen
many different venues and
has won different awards
including
the
John
Gassner
Playwright
Award and the Heilpern
Award for Most Promising
Dramatist in 1999, as
"Fuddy Meers" publicity
information states.
After the Feb. 28 performance there will be a
"curtain talk," where the
audience is free to ask
questions directed to the
director, the actors or the
scenic team.
