Real World stars share 'real' experiences
Adam Roberts
Guest Writer

Cindi Howard/ Eagle Eye

Student Emily Nowak poses during a meet and greet with the Real World stars after their appearance
in Price Auditorium last Thursday.

Former Real World San
Diego cast members Randy
and Cameran discussed issues
and stories about their experiences in the spotlight last
Thursday.
While using video clips
from past Real Worlds seasons,
they talked about serious issues
such as race, conflict resolution, and eating disorders.
They also laughed and
joked with audience members
about their favorite memories.
Randy's favorite memory
from the show was Halloween.
Cameran's favorite memory
was when housemate. Brad,
was arrested for public intoxication and called from jail.
Randy, who spoke at college campuses in Spain and
Germany, made a comparison
between the Real World and
being a freshman at college.
Real World cast members
are put in a house with people
with different ethnic groups,
sexual orientations, and moral
values.
This Randy stated "is much
like living in a dorm for the
first time."
Randy also pointed out that
'Real Worlders' are suddenly
given access to a large amount
of alcohol.
The Real World houses are
designed with no television,
radio, or even a dishwasher.
The only entertainment the
cast members had was what
they provided themselves.
With nothing to do, fights

are sometimes inevitable.
Cameran commented on
how strange it was too see how
she acted on nights she can
barely remember.
In one clip from their season Cameran cried to her
roommate Jacquese after he
was called a racial slur at a bar.
"We are all people," said
Cameran.
The issue of race and discrimination is common on the
Real World.
Cameran was especially
shocked by the culture change
in the house.
She shared with the audience that being from a small
town, she had to deal with
stereotypes that she had heard
all her life, but being on the
show allowed her to hear people's stories and connect with
them.
Besides listening to the cast
members the audience was able
to ask questions.
One audience member even
tried to get a date with
Cameran while others tried to
get the speakers to hang out
with them.
At the end of the program
Cameran and Randy posed for
pictures and signed autographs.
The Real World's popularity shows no signs of losing
steam with a season from Key
West. Florida slated to air soon.
Randy and Cameran fan's

is more concerned with the
relations between LHU and its
neighbors.
From this new perspective.
Vilello said that he can see that
the issues that Lock Haven is
dealing with as a result of
LHU are not as big as the
issues that other universities
and communities are tackling.
The current concerns,
while minor in a larger view,
are still quite a problem on a
local scale. Vilello called parking problems one of the most
difficult issues.
City police have been
enforcing parking along North
Fairview Street more so than
before because of "safety
issues" according to Vilello.
Temporary parking in front
of Smith and Woolridge has
been the normality, but students have been parking farther down the road and sometimes on both sides of the
road, creating a dangerous bottleneck.
Most of the offenders park

places for very long
in
periods of time and are habitual, according to Vilello.

Students drive drunk in simulator

The more drinks that were
added, the harder it became to
steer

and see clearly.

Most students began to have
trouble at two drinks, and by
five the majority had completely
lost control oftheir vehicle.
Junior Troy Hartle said the
simulator was a positive way for
students to understand the risk
involved in drinking and driving.
"You have to experience the
simulator to know how effective
it is." Troy said. "It's an
absolutely wonderful educational experience."
The simulator was just part
of an entire week dedicated to
educating students on the effects
of alcohol use.
Other events included a candle-light vigil and "Bash the
Car," which took place on
Russell Lawn Friday afternoon.
Senior Emilee Gulas said

responses need to be specific
and thorough. Tell the employers about a particular situation
that related to the question.
Briefly tell them the situation, what you did explicitly
and the positive outcome.
Students should expect the
interviewer to dissect the
answer by asking a more in
depth question. For example,
"Tell me more about your meeting with your boss," may be

asked after a student told an
employer about how they
solved a problem.
It is important to always listen carefully to the questions,
ask for clarification if needed
and to answer the questions
completely.
Some common skills that
employers are looking for as a
result of the behavioral interviewing include decision making, team building, creativity
and oral communication.
Questions asked during
behavioral interviewing may
appear to be more terrifying
than previous interviewing
questions, but the outcome is
positive.
Chances are the most qualified and experienced candidate
will be hired, but Career
Services can help prepare students for interviewing.

Students march for ban on Confederate flag

BATON ROUGE, La.
Students protested on campus
against flying the purple-andgold Confederate flag before
and during Louisiana State
University's win over Auburn
University on Saturday.
The group walked from the
African American Cultural
Center to Tiger Stadium, waving
flag signs and
chanting "ban the flag."
Last week the LSU chapter
ofthe NAACP called for the flag
to be banned because they said it
is a symbol ofracism. Observers
said about 20 state police officers accompanied marchers
from the AACC.
Some protesters said surrounding crowds yelled back at
them, but some tailgaters along
the route said they did not even
notice the protesters.

during the protest, said there
were no safety problems or
racist comments from tailgaters.
May said the police did not
know about the protest until
about two minutes before it
started.
Westley Bayas, political science senior and protester, said
there were spots along the route
where tailgaters began yelling,
but that people mostly seemed
shocked or confused by the
demonstration.
Bayas said protesters expected a more passionate response
from bystanders because the
march started after 2 p.m., when
they suspected tailgaters would
have had more alcohol to drink.
Some tailgaters supported
the protest, Bayas said.

"They oppose us for this, but
then they will watch the black
players play," Kador said. "We
have to do this to stand for what
we believe."
While standing in front of
the stadium, passing Auburn
fans in blue and orange received
a louder response from the
crowd than the protesters.
The protest ended shortly
after the stadium opened and
protesters with tickets went
inside.
The group sat in the student
section near the field next to the
tunnel where the football players
enter and exit, popularly known
as the "sit-down section."

When the players came on
and off the field, the group held
up about six or seven signs with
flag messages.
The players did not respond
to or openly acknowledge the
protesters.

Donald Lewis, AfricanAmerican studies graduate student, said the goal of the protest
was to get Chancellor Sean
O'Keefe, Athletic Director Skip
Bertman, football coach Les
Miles, basketball coach John
Brady and other University officials to publicly ban the flag on
campus.
The group in the stadium had
about 20 students whom Lewis
said were not part ofany student
organization.
A group of students plan to
march from the Union to
O'Keefe's office this morning at
9:30 a.m. in protest of the flag,
some protesters said outside the
stadium.

A new
AMES. Iowa
Internet television network is
attempting to provide students
with an alternative to MTV.
Billing itself as "The Next
MTV" and "the world's first live
Television
24/7
Internet
Network," MantaTV.com has
risen to fill the void.
"It's edgy. It plays the type of
music I like. There's more rock
and alternative," said John
Askew, ManiaTV promoter at
Iowa State
ManiaTV focuses mainly on
music, streaming music videos
and request shows, as well as
artist interviews.
Also airing are five other
"channels" consisting of things
like sports, short films, userand
features,
submitted
"ViralTV," which features somewhat more audacious content,
including "Chick Fight."
ManiaTV is completely free
to users, Askew said. It is on 24
hours a day. seven days a week,
always live.
There are currently about
sixteen CJ's or "cyber-jockeys"
that host programs throughout
the day, he said.
Askew said the business is
able to provide free, subscription-free service by making all
revenue through advertisements.
"As a college student
myself, I'm extremely busy. I
just want to take a break sometimes," said Askew.
"A lot of people don't have
cable. This [ManiaTV] still
gives you a chance to see everything."
Geoffrey Lloyd, a junior in
pre-biological/pre-medical illustration, said he thought the
bands featured were marketed
towards "hipsters," people more
interested in looking cool, rather
than listening to the music and
that it was too much like what
MTV already is.

"The CJ's are indistinguishable from their MTV counterparts," he said.
"They made frequent references to 'hipsters' like it was a
good thing, but there's nothing
good about hipsters."

In celebration of Pennsylvania's poets, Sam Hazo will read
selections from his works. Books will be available for signing.

U-WIRE

Online television network
attracts college viewers

* ■■ }<

ManiaTV's rapid expansion
since its Sept. 6, 2004 debut has
been college-age viewers, and is
networking through popular
sites such as Facebook.com and
MySpace.com.
Over fifty campuses have a
Campus Maniac, including Iowa
State.
Askew said he has already
registered over 150 students for
ManiaTV's free e-mail newslet-

ter.

"The big reason [for the success] is the portability and
accessibility to every age
group," Askew said.
After using ManiaTV. ISU
student Jacey Tevis, sophomore
in biology, said the site was
nicely designed and was something she might use in the future
to find out more about a particular band.
Askew said that some ofthe
of
distinguishing features
ManiaTV is it allows viewers to
interact live with the CJ's and is
customizable, letting users pick
what they want to watch.
"They implement their viewers. One cool thing is the webcam room, where you can watch
everyone," Askew said.
"It's a live experience that is
different from anything else out
there."
Though he tried other parts
of the Web site and some of the
other videos, they didn't always
work and a lot of the time, he
just had to watch whatever was
streaming at that time. Lloyd
said.
Though she liked it, Tevis
said she did not know if it would
catch on in mainstream audiences.
"I wouldn't pick it over TV,
but if I didn't have a TV, it
would be a good option," she
said.
Though the first to gain
notoriety, ManiaTV certainly
will not be the last attempt at
integrating the Internet and traditionally television programming. According to the
November issue of Popular
Science, The Food Network will
soon launch its own Web-only
TV show titled "Eat This with
Dave Lieberman."

send them to the same place. If
your religion is wrong and you
are raising your child, then hey,
you're doing the same type of
activity too.
Halloween, for the majority
of us, is not about worshipping
evil. The holiday's about dressing up, celebrating the gruesome and morbid by means of
decoration or costume, receiving free candy (hopefully without razor blades or any nutritional value), staying out late
with friends, and having one

day ofthe year that is unlike any
other.
Just like a rainy day is a
spectacular,
awe-inspiring,
occurrence in the desert, think
ofhow Halloween night appears
to a child. A special feeling
surges through a child's body
when they see mobs of other
people dressed in odd costumes
walking around when the streets
are usually empty. The situation
is something different to break
up the monotony of everyday
life. Of course, it was this way
until more groups ruined the
fun.
Some concerned parents
may say that Halloween is made
safer by having the holiday during the day because children get
nit by vehicles in the dark night.
That's what flashlights, common sense, reflective tape, or if
the child is small enough,
parental supervision are for.
This holiday goes with the
time
like
night
just
Thanksgiving goes with turkey,
like Christmas goes with snow,
like the 4th of July goes with
fireworks,
and
like
Oageebokfngglefrackday goes
with complete and utter nonsense. Those holidays wouldn't
be as enjoyable without the
items listed.
Little kids going from
house-to-house collecting candy
in the daylight hours is an injustice to them. The usual illuminating pumpkins will have no
effect, spooky decorations will
be laughed at instead of causing
fear in little kids to go up and
acquire candy, and the surprise
of turning the corner and seeing
a Power Ranger, a mutated zombie, and a one-eyed pirate getting along despite their differences, will be lost.
Ghosts, witches, black cats,
skeletons, and vampires have to
be out in the night, for no other
reason than keeping consistency
in the heads of children. Does
anyone draw a Halloween picture with a Raisin Bran-logolike sun making poor old
Frankenstein put on sun block?

Along with being in the
nighttime. Halloween has to be
held on the actual date of
Halloween. The fun is sucked
out of the holiday instantly
when it's not on the real date.
The feeling isn't the same when
your birthday is celebrated on a
day other than your birthday,
and neither is Christmas or any
other holiday really.
Now some people say that
Halloween can't be celebrated
on the real day because school
will interfere. Well, that leads to
another problem; school children have to go to school on
Halloween and the day after if
during the week.
Back in elementary school, I
had the day after Halloween off
for many years and then it was
changed because we were told
we had to "grow up." You know,
growing up doesn't mean sucking all the fun out of life.
Responsibility can still be had
with fun activities such as
Halloween.
should
Everyone
get
Halloween day off. Humans are
becoming a simple being by
caring about work all their lives.
Go to work, get money, pay the
bills, die. That seems to be what
everyone is content with or has
at least accepted.
Principals also need to lighten up. Is having your child dress
up as a ninja with a fake plastic
weapon or smearing fake blood
on their face going to automatically convert him or her into a
crazed psychopath? No, probably not.
Again, in elementary school
where students were encouraged to be creative and get some
enjoyment out of a break from
school, we could dress up. Then
high school hit and suddenly
nobody was allowed to wear
anything. 1 personally don't
know how all the schools are set
up and how strict their
Halloween celebration rules are,
but I'm guessing a majority of
them don't even allow celebrating Halloween.
What do schools come up

with as acceptable alternatives?
'Fall
They come up with
Festivals'
decorated with
earthy-colored leaves, vegetables, and enough cornhusks and
stalks to make Cledus, Billy
Bob, and Larry the Cable Guy
feel right at sister-dating, moonshine-drinking, home.
"Oh yay, is this party for
Amish people?" little Billy said
while his personality dropped
faster than Pee Wee Herman's
approval rating.
"No
Billy,"
Principal
Prudent said, as he wiped the
smile off his face in fear of
offending a child who thinks
smiling is a form of sexual
harassment.
What other holidays are next
on the chopping block? If
Halloween isn't an acceptable
celebration for an educational
facility, then Christmas shouldn't be allowed either. Making
those turkey drawings in art
class by tracing a hand should
be banned this very instant
because if school systems are
going to be ridiculous, then they
might as well be consistently
ridiculous.
Do we have to convert kids
into the zombie-like, Wal-mart
workforce so early in life? Do
we really need to turn people
into silent monks in the hallways, walking in straight lines,
wearing the same clothing, not
socializing at all, and giving
them no breaks from their
menial
day-to-day school
careers?
The fun ofHalloween is progressively losing the fight to the
evangelicals, the non-offending
schools, and the overprotective
parents. I remember people
older than myself telling me
how fun Halloween was for
them and the fun times for me
were only slightly different, but
the Halloween celebration is
becoming rather boring, colorless, uncreative, unpleasant, and
down right 'stinky' - much like
the cliche bags of dog waste left
on unexpecting people's porches.

A FINE day to be somebody else
Garrison Keillor
Tribune Media Services
People stood out on my front
porch the other night talking
about politics and inhaling the
sweetness of fall, intimations of
nobility in the air and also
decaying vegetable matter.
What we felt was the elation of
a warm night in late October in
the northern latitudes, when you
can stand outdoors in your shirtsleeves after twilight. In these
circumstances, even newspaper
columnists feel the urge toward
poetry:
Across the street, the maple
Is flaming yellow on the
bough.
It stands beside an evergreen,
All dressed up for Halloween.
Now of my three-score years
and ten,
Sixty-three won't come again.
Subtract from seventy sixtythree

-

And since to look at maple
I'd like more time (Lord, if
you please),
I'll briskly walk in admiraAnd stimulate the circulation.
The smell of fall takes me
back to fourth grade, the girls in

their pinafores and the boys in
plaid shirts, our hair wetted
down and combed, watching
Mrs. Moehlenbrock write the
math problems on the board,
thinking about What To Be for
Halloween. Girls could, if their
mothers had the time to sew,
dress up as royalty, oras fairies,
but for a boy, princehood was
not an option in those days, nor
was pixilation. You could
smudge your face and be a
hobo, or put on a red nose and
fright wig, or you could be
ghoulish and loathsome.
Last year 1 succeeded in
that, without meaning to. I put
on a tuxedo and painted my face
blue and handed out candy bars
to a couple hundred kids and
their parents before a kind
neighbor informed me that the
blue paint, in dim light, looked
rather black, and then I remembered the pained looks on the
faces of African-American parents who came to my door. I
guess they figured Mr. Keillor,
for reasons of his own, had
decided to dress up as Al Jolson
and might whip out a banjo and
serenade them with a few plantation songs. No wonder they
were so quiet as I doled out the
candy into the children's sacks;
they were wondering what this
old booger might have put in the
Bufterfingers.

"To be great is to be misunderstood," said Emerson, which
does not mean that misunderstanding confers greatness. It
does not mean that at all.
Everybody is misunderstood
most of the time. Back in my
bohemian days. I liked to put on
a flowery shirt and fringed vest,
as if I were a true individualist,
and now I wear a suit and white
shirt and tie and try to impersonate a businessman. Either
way, strangers take one look at
you and with great confidence
come to conclusions about you
that are dead wrong. This happens to us all every day.
And so we should celebrate
Halloween. It's as close to a carnival as we Northerners have,
and it's a chance to slip out of
the stereotypes assigned to us
and find truth and beauty in caricature. If you are pegged as a
Midwestern mom, Monday is
your chance to be Decadent
Heiress,
Transcendental
Heartthrob, Taxi Dancer,
Aviatrix, Lady Macbeth or the
Goddess Athena, and break free
of your family's low expectations a chance to be something
passionate.
We made our choices in life,
based on lousy information, and
got stuck being who we are.
You: attractive, impetuous, with
bedroom eyes and a savage wit.

.

-

Me: rumpled, preoccupied,
shambling, dropping things.
And do we regret this? No, not
really. A person only needs to be
truly understood by two or three
people. Everyone else is audience. Passion is in your head.
Two people can be married for a
dog's age and despite all the
aches and bruises of matrimony
they still look at each other and
get excited. Nobody else understands this. Nobody else needs
to.
So, on the Eve of All
Hallows, let us paint our faces
and put feathers in our hair and
venture off along the curve of
the earth and be somebody else.
I will go as a Special Prosecutor
in a shiny suit, carrying a black
briefcase, who after 7 p.m.,
turns into Raffaello, King ofthe
Tango, with pointy shoes, trailing a cloud of lilac cologne. I
will be a figure of stark terror
and also a font of erotic energy,
a scourge of miscreants and a
friend of adventurous women.
And when the candy is gone, I'll
turn into your father and send
you home: That's it, kid, the
party's over.

Soccer mom sightseers and other
inconviences in the "new" New Orleans
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18,

Is this the upper or the
lower?
People are driving like
maniacs around town-becausc
there are no traffic cops, few
stop lights and seemingly little
traffic. And, most of the jerks
driving are from out of state
driving brand new cars that
don't even have licenses-so
there's no way to report them.
One way streets are two way
now. apparently. It is driving me
nuts.

On St. Claude this morning 1
was nearly run off the road by a
white pick up going 80 miles an
hour. I followed it as best as I
oould, across the canal into
Arabi, where they were welcomed at an official check
point.
Later in the morning, an
SUV of suburban housewives
stopped in front of my housegoing the wrong way-- and
asked "Is this upper or lower?"
What they meant was is this
upper or lower 9th Ward. I pretended I had no idea what they
were talking about and then told
them the lower was across the
canal. "And this is a one way
street going the other way," I
said. They were obviously looking for some good destruction
and my area wasn't good
anough. They were followed by
a sheriffs car with out of town
cops inside. "What's the deal
with people driving where ever
they want to?" 1 asked. "We'll
get them," they said.
Good to know they're cracking down on housewives.

Last night, after my last stop
at Sound Cafe on Charlies. I
hopped into my car and discovered that one of the brand new
front tires was completely flat.
The spare was rusted to the bottom of the car, so I walked
down to NOCCA. where the
National Guard is stationed.
They were great., pulled the car
into the compound. (They continually referred to my van as
"the rig") and changed the tire
for me and searched for clues as
to what happened. So now I've

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER
19, 2005
Report from Cafe du Monde
The place was packed this
morning, with cameras and
reporters covering the scene
from all angles. I met my
boss neighbor Anne Gisleson
and her husband Brad there, and
we had a couple of plates of
beighnets and coffee. The price
has gone up about 30 cents an
order, but all else is unchanged.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23,
A Neville returns...but still no
butter

I spent most of the past four
days standing in line at the only
Walgreen9 open on the East
bank. 1 was trying to refill my
dog's prescription for separation
anxiety medication, and first
there was a long line, then when
I returned and stood in the endless pickup line I discovered it
hadn't been tilled. So each day 1
went in the morning then
returned in the afternoon,
finally I left on Friday...but
with just six out of 28 capsules.
Then I had to go back into the
line and have it corrected. Etc.
Today it was finally filled, but
filed under "D" for dog, so it
took a while for them to find it.
Seriously.."D" for dog.
But this is typical of the odd
inconveniences that we have to
put up with in the "new" New
Orleans. Another is that the grocery' store is well stocked but
without a single stick of butter.
Why? No one knows.
This morning on Frenchmen
Street I heard that a number of
legendary establishments are
struggling to hang on while the
utility companies drag their feet
with the gas lines. No one has a
straight answer on when service
will be reestablished, which
means that even the restaurants
that would like to open can't
cook anything—unless they convert everything to electric. So
the master plan continues—a
slow death for all New Orleans
culture that wasn't washed away
in the storm. Or so it seems. I
was feeling a little depressed by
it all. but then I spotted a sign at

Complaining won't bring the nuggets back
Daniella De Luca
Editor in Chief
What I don't understand is
why people complain about the
little things. There is more to life
than having a lot of work to do
or a lack of chicken nuggets in

upstairs Bentley.
Everyday we find time to
complain about how people and
things have changed, parking
ticket fines, the cost of living,
low funds, lack of sleep and lack
oftime. People are unmotivated,
and it's scary.
College is a chance to take
advantage of the many opportunities given to us. once in a lifetime. Shouldn't we be asking
questions and Finding out more
rather than having a sourattitude
about all the little things we find
wrong with our days?
If we spend our whole four,
five, six, or seven years here
complaining and irritated by
every little thing, we are not
really living are we? We're
trapped, and tend to think that
the world revolves around us
(and our chicken nuggets), and
when things don't go our way,
everything is in turmoil.
By taking advantage of the
meetings and open forums with

prominent individuals on campus instead of simply complaining to our friends, then maybe
things would change. Students
miss the couches in what used to
be Jazzman's. Doors to buildings break and aren't fixed right
away. The coffee cart in Raub
has gone missing, and breakfast
is a passing fad. The heat isn't
turned on in dormitories, and
people are catching colds. Subs
no longer count as a meal on
meal plans in Quizno's. When
you pick up a UPS package, you
have to trek to a lesser traveled
part of campus where it seems
no one has stepped foot before.
And. we are cranky, annoyed,
irritated by all of this. Why?
You know that. Your friends
know that. But. do the people in
charge know that? Have you
tilled out a comment card or
given any feedback? Chances
are, no.
If you're complaining, you
should start asking questions.
Why are things the way they are
on campus? Why are things different than they used to be?
Campus leaders and other
important people to talk to
include but arc not limited to:
advisers, your resident assistants
and/or directors, SCC executive

board. SCC senators. Bentley
managers. University President
Dr. Keith Miller, professors,
department chairs, computing
center technicians, and the list
continues to grow. Chances are,
these individuals are more than
willing to talk and listen. What a
concept, right? Send them an email or find out their office
hours and schedule a meeting to
discuss your complaint.
If things still aren't going the
way you think they should, write
to us about it in a letter to the
editor. Your letter will be published in 2.200 copies ami
chances are someone will read
it. and someone might agree.
Once things are changed,
however, after a complaint has
been made, we should not forget
our manners. Thank the person
who helped you fix the issue. If
we reserved enough time everyday to thank the people in our
lives for being there, then maybe
life wouldn't seem so awful and
overwhelming.
So. quit your complaining,
unless you're going to do it to
the right people and let them
hear what you have to say.
Who's with me in joining the
campaign to bring the chicken
nuggets back?

Haven Happenings
New online political science course
offered for international students
Sarah Wojcik
Staff Reporter
A new course offered by the
Political Science, History and
Economics Department of Lock
Haven University extends an
unprecedented hand to only
exchange students.
World Politics 107will be an
online course designed to allow
exchange students to explore
their new surroundings and
interact with each other in a
flexible online environment.
The course costs just as
much as would a normal one. it
satisfies the General Education
requirement in Government/
Economics, and can be utilized
by students traveling from
abroad to LHU or from LHU to
any other partner university.
Nothing like this has ever

existed at LHU, but rumblings
about creating such a course
have been going on for quite
some time, according to Dr.
Lawrence Farley ofthe Political
Science Department.
The only problem holding
back LHU and its sister universities was the "arrival of the
right technology" says Farley.
Course assignments are submitted electronically and the
schedule for the course is
extremely flexible.
Assignments will include
active
exercises
learning
designed to have students
"engaging with the local political cultures" says Farley.
Only one textbook is
required and it can be purchased
as early as this November as
opposed to the usual availability
in January of next semester.

Students leaving later to
visit another country, such as
Australia, can start early on the
class if they so desire.
Because the course can only
be taken by exchange students.
Farley believes that sharing
experiences will be easier for
the students, as each of them
will be more likely to relate to
one another.
In offering this course. LHU
ishelping its partner universities
by relieving some of the burden
for those schools to provide the
incoming students with special,
often English speaking classes.
Dr. Farley is very excited to
endorse this new opportunity for
exchange students, now quite
literally, all around the world.
The class can be modified
for those who already took the
class earlier at LHU.

They were down, but never out.
I don't think there is any better statement to represent how the men's soccer team
has played so for this season.
Entering the season with a No. 17 national ranking, there were high aspirations
for this squad.
They were coming off a 2004 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference championship and an appearance in the Division II National Tournament.
After starting the season with wins in their first two games, including a win over
previously ranked California University (Pa.), it looked as if this year's squad was
going to pick up right where last years team left off.
Then came October and the men struggled through a four game losing skid in
which the team fell to 6-7-2 overall and 4-5-2.
When most teams would have folded, the Lock Haven men's soccer team clicked.
When it was close to being out of reach they found something inside and got it
together, rattling off four straight wins including a 6-2 win over Kutztown
University yesterday.
This recent run of success put them right back in the playoffrace and yesterday's
win added to their statement that they should not be counted out.
The Haven currently sits in third place one point ahead of West Chester
University and two points ahead of East Stroudsburg University.
Saturday's home game versus Shippensburg University marks the regular season
finale. Despite losing Lock Haven could sneak into the playoffs; bottom line a win
gets them in.
Let's get out and support the men's soccer team this Saturday and help ensure that
they make it to the playoffs to defend their title.
Defend their title or not, this team is a championship caliber team in my book for
the heart, determination, passion, and grit they displayed in their play throughout the
season.
They fought to get where they are and now let's get out and cheer them on
Saturday at 1p.m.

What is "sport?"
This is a question commonly asked by people near and far and it has often been
debated. Some might say it is the heat of competition given two or more opponents in
order to determine the best team or individual.
But if that is the case, why doesn't anyone think of Chinese Checkers or Hot Dog
Eating contests as a bona fide sporting event?
Many have argued that cheerleading is a sport, and I am going to go put myself out
there and say that it is not. Hear me out.
According to the dictionary, cheerleading is defined as "to lead organized cheering,
as at sporting events," or "to express or promote automatic or servile praise."
The key words here are "at sporting events." Nowhere in that definition does it
mention cheerleading as a sport in itself.
Arguments from the other side claim that competition cheerleading is as much of a
sport as football or baseball, but like most reasonable people, i feel that you need to
have a set method of scoring, not just subjective scoring at the hands of a panel of
judges in order to determine a winner.
Some have argued that by that standard, gymnastics and other related activities
wouldn't classify either. And they are correct. Sure, training and physical exertion is
involved, but you can say that with any physical activity.
A judge decides what score you get in an activity; you don't score points against an
opponent going head to head. How is that rational? A single person can determine who
wins or loses by how pretty they feel a dance routine is? That is insane. You cannot
say that dancing in front of an audience is sport. It might take athleticism and talent,
but you cannot put it in the same category as real sporting events like football and
baseball, two real sports that I already mentioned.
I don't think that the organizers of the first Olympics had dancing around on a mat
in mind when they organized the games. They had wrestling and things ofthat nature,
not prancing around a mat while throwing your hands in the air like you just don't
care.

It all boils down to scoring. You don't score points, you get graded and that makes
no sense. I realize it takes skill and athleticism, but don't kid yourselves.
If I can hear a valid argument as to why this should be considered a sport, I'm all
for it. I hold nothing against cheerleaders, and respect them for being able to do all
kinds of crazy back flips that I will never be capable of doing, but give me something
to work with. I'm always open to others' points of view.

The State of Georgia has
produced a lot of talent over the
years; the Allman Brothers,
Kenny Rogers and l|% M. just
to name a few. but o\ at the past
half decade a new generation of
musicians has emerged. This is
a generation that brought artists
like Bubba Sparxxx a 1 Outkast
to the forefront ofthe American
music scene.
The recent rdeasc of
"Graffiti The World'
Atlantabased quintet Reh;i goes to
show that the soutn is once
again a force to be reckoned
with.
Gone are the days of Neil
Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
The new generation introduced
us to artists like Arrested
Development and one-hit wonder Kris Kross. But those artists
set the stage for the groups that
are currently making waves in
the music scene. Bands such as
Bubba Sparxxx, Outkast and
now Rehab have blended a sort
of southern rock with a hip hop
scene that has established itself
as one of the most influential in
the business.
The late 90's spawned a lot

of pretenders, and some might
have thrown Rehab into that category.
Their first album, "Southern
Discomfort," garnered mixed
reviews and Rehab could have
easily faded away into obscurity. But after selling over
140,000 copies, the band began
to get some attention and they
earned a spot on the Vans
Warped Tour alongside groups
like Linkin Park and Kotton
Mouth Kings.
Their success was short
lived. After some inter-band turmoil, they broke up and went
their separate ways.
Jump to 2005. A new lineup
came together and produced
what may have been the best
summer release that you never
heard of.
The opening track, aptly
named "What Do U Want From
Me?" pulls you right in and
doesn't let go.
What do we want? We want
a band that won't release a CD
that doesn't revolve completely
around one hit song while producing 11 others that do nothing
but fill up space. Fortunately,
this is one of those few albums
that does not rely on a single
track to sell copies.

Throughout the album,
many different styles can be
heard. From the soft rock feel of
title track "Graffiti The World."
to the hip hop rhythms in "This
1 Know." the band takes you on
a rollercoaster ride through all
the styles that have emerged in
the South in the past 30 years.
For the most part, this CD
will pique the interest of anybody that gives it a chance. The
group can handle anything from
soft, melodic rock to throbbing
hip hop and they do it well.
The great thing about a
band like Rehab is that
although few have he d of
them, their talent is obviously
there.
Recently, songs such as
"Graffiti The World" and
"Tattoo" have.been getting
airplay in major markets such
as New York, Los Angeles,
Atlanta and Philadelphia, and
they seem to be on the verge
of becoming big time players.
The final song on the CD,
"Running Out Of Time," is a
bit of a misnomer. This band
is not running out of time. In
fact, they are just getting
started, and it appears that
pretty soon everybody is
going to know their name.

While acting, directing, and
all of the work behind the
scenes are all thoroughly
rewarding, most students agree
that the friendships created off
stage is one ofthe biggest assets
to being involved.
"It's amazing how many different people and different personalities you come across in
theater." says Grouzes. "All of
the people that I run into and get
to know is one of my favorite
parts about the department. You
come out with a lot of friendships."
"Theater is a lot of fun,"
agrees DeSantis. "It is never
boring. There isalways change.
Each production attracts different people, so you get to meet a
lot of new people every semester."
Grouzes, who has been
involved in theater since his
freshmen year in high school,
and hopes to direct high school
theater in the future, says that he
has been very impressed with
the Lock Haven Theater
Department.
"As soon as I auditioned, I
felt like I was in a really good
place. Everyone here is a professional; all of the faculty
involved has had professional
theater experience. I'm totally
enamored with the department,"
said Grouzes.

Fulmer. a HAC member helping
out at the event. "Then there are
the people who are basically just
looking for their 15 minutes of

The audition itself was obviously the most nerve-racking
aspect for most trying out. Even
before the one on one with a
casting representative, a hopeful
student was asked to fill out a
two page form about themselves
with questions that were supposed to be answered with complete honesty.
Some even took it as far as
to be brutally honest about
themselves giving away information about their life that few
would think of sharing with just
anyone. Then it was up to the
student to make it back to their
assigned PUB audition room at
the appropriate time and wait it

When our children look
back on what we've done in our
youth, they won't just hear the
stories we decide to share with
them on a whim. Instead, our
children will have video footage
to provide them with all our
tales of debauchery, alcoholism,
substance abuse and stupidity.
Sadly enough, many of us
nowadays willingly accept the
consequences of submitting ourselves to the powers of reality
television without thinking
twice.

amongst the rest.

The actual audition took a
mere 10-20 minutes. People
had to bear with the delay ofthe
times. Some were waiting well
past an hour from their original
audition time, but there were
few complaints.
Collectively it was obvious
that many were more concerned about what they were
going to do once in front ofthe
audition camera, but some didn't really feel any anxiety at
all.
"I didn't think it was really
a big deal at all," said Mark
Wilson, a sophomore. "I didn't know the people who interviewed me. and it was actually
easier to talk about mvself in
front of complete strangers. I
just gave it the ole' college try,
so we'll see what happens."
Now. after the auditions
are over, the optimistic students will wait for a callback.
It could be weeks, months,
even years before they hear
anything, but many will continue wishing that they made it
over the rest. Who knows
what the future will hold for
those who auditioned, the only
thing to do is to watch and
anticipate the possibility of a

Wesley Brown, has been going
strong ever since the club's

broken down into two different
sections: the radio show and the
television show
The radio show is web based
and claims to address current
world topics while mixing in
flavorful urban music. The
broadcasting begins at 3:00 p.m.
every Sunday and runs until
7:00 p.m. The show is also sectioned with four different hosts
including secretary Nakida
Allen and president Brown.
The television show, called
Urban LHTJ, was created by the
students and airs throughout all
of Lock Haven. The show
begins at 6:00 p.m. every
Thursday on channel 10 and
covers topics such as news,
entertainment, upcoming campus events, and much more.
"The purpose of this organization is to provide entertainment ofall kinds lo the students
that have an interest in entertainment, (as well as) the oppor-

Lock Haven University and
throughout the community,
furthermore,
LOC
Entertainment is looking for talents to add a variety of entertainment for the students and
staff of Lock Haven University
of Pennsylvania, along with the
residents of Lock Haven." said
Brown.

The LOC Entertainment
organization is funded by the
Student Cooperative Council.
With thctr funds, they hold
events such as skate nights and
howling parties.
"The greatest aspect to me
is LOC Entertainment putting
smiles on peoples faces
through events that give
everyone a feeling of being a

The club also features teeshirts, wristbands, and other

HAC brings in big names this week
Jessica Thompson
Features Editor
Let's face it. Sometimes,
college students have a tough
time remembering important
information. However, there is
always that one friend who
seems to know everything.
This friend is always getting
a better grade on a paper, finishing assignments early and
studying a week in advance for
a test.
Well, chances are Jim Karol
was that friend. Karol is a memorization phenomenon. He has
impressively memorized over
90,000 ZIP codes and the
Scrabble dictionary. But it does
not stop there. He also knows
every country and capital in the
world and he can tell you the
day of the week for any date in
history back to 1 A.D.
Perhaps you have seen Karol
on The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno, The Rosie O'Donnell
Show, Montel Williams, E!
Entertainment Television, MTV,
Good Morning America, CNN
and just as recent as last
Tuesday, the 18th. on The Ellen
DeGenercs Show.
If you did not catch him on
any of these shows, you still
have a chance.
Jim Karol will be performing in Price Auditorium tomorrow. Thursday. Oct. 27 at 8 p.m..
courtesy of Haven's Activities
Council, HAC.
"Jim's event will provide
tons of entertainment and mind

magic for those that come out to
the show. It will allow the audience to be involved in the show
and to be amazed at what he can
do. If you like magic and mind
games this will be the show for
you." said Meghan McCarthy,
coordinator of HAC, and
responsible for bringing Karol
to Lock Haven.
Memorization and mind
magic is not the only thing that
Karol does, however. He is also
a comedian and mentalist.
Karol has performed for 20
years, putting on over 3,500
shows at countless colleges and
universities and other venues
across the United States.
Karol is the total package.
His memory skills have earned
him world record titles and
many professionals and colleagues have deemed him the
'madman ofmagic.'
Karol once predicted the
Pennsylvania lottery numbers
in his sleep and gave those
numbers to thousands of people who bid on them. The
numbers that Karol predicted
just happened to be the winning numbers and cost the
state almost $12 million dollars.
For the last trick up
Karol's sleeve, he is a master
of playing cards and gambling. He has been featured at
different hotels and casinos,
such as the Trump Plaza Hotel
& Casino, Caesars and the
Beverly Hills Hilton.
Jim also wrote a book

called "50 Ways to Hustle
Your Friends."
"I am looking forward to

card tricks. No matter how
many times I sec people do
these 1 still get amazed," said
McCarthy.
Karol should not be disregarded as just another person
coming to Lock Haven and
putting on a show. Karol's
show is one ofa kind.
"His show really involves
the audience and he incorporates topics in today's world in
his material. His show is very
energized and keeps the audience on their toes. He also
loves getting the audience up
on stage and involved in his
tricks." said McCarthy.
If magic is not your thing,
perhaps meeting famous people is.

Not all cheerleaders fit a
mold. Many, in fact, stand out

but he uses his broad frame to
prove that cheerleading is no
longer just for the pony-tailed
primped prepsters.
"It takes a lot of endurance
to be a cheerleader," said
Broach, a freshman still deciding on what he wants to study
while at college. "Some of the
biggest guys I've ever seen have
been male cheerleaders and it
may look easy, but it's not, it
