ELECTION STILL UP IN AIR
The majority of those who participated in LHU's
mock election support John Kerry for president

vote, even though it was a mock

Lock Haven University
voted for John F. Kerry as our
next President, in the mock election held on campus last week.
University students, staff,
and faculty had the opportunity
to predict the winner of the
Presidential race this past
Thursday, in a mock election.
The election was organized by
the Black Student Union.
Students from the honors program also volunteered their time
to help with the election.
According to Del Sellers, the
President of the Black Student
Union, the reason for the mock
election was to get a snap shot of
where our university stood.
"It was a big election," said
Sellers. "Maybe the biggest election ofall time."
The mock election was setup in Bentley Dining Hall and
was open for voters from 8:00
am until 8:00 pm. Since it was a
mock election, voters did not
even need to be registered to participate. With proper identification students, staff, and faculty
were able to pick their candidate
for President.
"It was important to me to

election," said junior Doug
Spatafore. "It didn't take very
long, and I was curious to see
how the rest of the university
was going to vote."
Pictures ofeach candidate, as
we!! as excerpts of where they
stand on important issues, were
made available to voters.
"The faculty and staff didnot
vote as much as the students,"
said freshman Autumn Riley,
who volunteered her time to help
at the mock election.
In total only 283 students,
staff, and faculty turned out to
vote in the election. Many students voted, some faculty, but
very few ofthe staffparticipated.
" The election was not as successful as I thought it would be,"
Sellers said. "I was hoping for
500-1,000 people and not even
300 showed up to vote."
Although there was no booth
tor voters to step into, many of
the candidates on the ballot were
the same candidates, voters saw
on Tuesday. In fact, some the
candidates in Thursday's mock
election, were not even on
ballot
Tuesday's
in
Pennsylvania. These candidates
were included, to show the variety of candidates running for the

I ■

Presidency.
In the mock election voters
were given the opportunity to
vote for: Republicans George W.
Bush and Dick Cheney, our current President and Vice
President. Representing the
Democratic Parry on the ballot,
were Senators John F. Kerry and
John Edwards.
Also featured on the ballot
were candidates from the
Constitution Party, Green Party,
Libertarian Party, and Reform
Party/Independent.
Sellers stated that, 55 percent
of voters, voted for Kerry. 34
percent voted for Bush. 5 percent ofthe votes went to Nader.
2 percent voted for Cobb, the
representative for the Green
Parry. 1.5 percent of voters,
voted for Badnarik, the representative from the Libertarian Party.
1.5 percent of the votes went to
Peroutka ofthe Constitution, and
1 percent of votes went to none
ofthe above.
According to Sellers, the
President of the University, Dr.
Miller, held the keys to the ballot
box until the end ofthe election.
The ballots were then placed in a
tamper proof envelop, and taken
to the computing center for tallying.

Governor Rendell visits Lock Haven
Lisa Schropp
Staff Editor
Senator John Wozniak saw a
kid trying to sell puppies in
front ofthe White 1 louse, but no
one was buying them. When he
asked the kid what kind of puppies they were, the kid said they
were Republicans. Two weeks
later, the puppies were selling
like hotcakes and Wozniak
wondered what was different
about them. The kid told him
that they were Democrat puppies now because their eyes are
open.
That was the mind-set in
Triangle Park last Wednesday as
Governor Ed Rendell, Wozniak,
State Rep. Mike Hanna, Mayor
Rick Vilello, and Valerie
Harper, a Democrat activist,
encouraged the citizens ofLock
Haven to vote, specifically for
the Democratic candidates.
The
attitude
at
the
Democratic rally was that
America is in need of a change
and Senator John Kerry will get
the country back on the track it
needs to be if elected president.
Rendell asked the audience to
think back to December of 2000
when we had a high surplus in
the budget and 23 million new
jobs. Poverty and crime were
also going down while family
income and home ownership
were going up. Most important,
America was admired and
respected all over the world. We
have gone so far down in the
four years George W. Bush has

been president, with 800,000
less jobsand the biggest budget
deficit. Rendell says that we can
have another reversal of fortune
if Kerry is elected, because he
has good ideas.
Kerry knows that we need
infrastructure to stimulate economic growth and produce jobs
here in Lock Haven, instead of
givug companies tax breaks to
create business on foreign soil,
according to Rendell.
Although Rendell says that
Bush's No Child Left Behind
(NCLB) Act is a good idea, it is
poorly funded. Kerry's health
plan and NCLB budget is $86
billion a year, which is almost
equivalent to the $89 billion a
year tax cuts that Bush gives the
top one percent incomes.
"1 went into office to touch
people, reach people, improve
lives and create opportunities
for American people to be all
they can be, and that's what
Kerry wants," Rendell said.
Mayor Rick Vilello claimed
that he is a simple guy who
believes that it is the mayor's
job to leave Lock Haven a better place, the governor's job to
make Pennsylvania a better
place, and the president's job to
make the United States a better
place. He also believes that we
should pursue terrorists aggressively, have fair trade not free,
secure our borders, become
energy independent, manufacture on our own shores, unite
no! be divided, and that Kerry
must win the election.
Although everyone was

there to rally for Kerry, Mike
Hanna reminded the spectators
to remember Jim Eisenhower,
Bob Casey, Jack Wagner, Sen.
Wozniak, Sen. Hocffel, and
him.
Wozniak seconded this
notion of voting for all the
Democratic candidates by
telling everyone to not confuse
themselves with details and just
make one "x" for a straight
Democratic vote. If anyone is
undecided, Wozniak's advice to
them was to look within their
hearts and minds, and they will
see that Kerry should be the
next president.
Even though getting Kerry
elected as president was the
goal of the rally, Rendell also
acknowledged the people who
were holding Bush signs. He
stressed the importance of treating each other with respect, no
matter who you vote for.
Whatever the outcome of* the
election is, the challenges we
face won't go away and we are
still Americans, as well as
friends and neighbors. It has
been a very divisive election,
but Rendell reminded the audience that he wouldn't have
accomplished everything he did
without
from
the
help
Republicans.
"Regardless if you're for
Bush or Kerry, it is important to
vote in order to build an
America that is stronger at
home and respected abroad.
Kerry is doing all he can, but it's
up to you. On Tuesday, leave no
voter behind," Rendell said.

The College Republicans and Young Democrats squared off in a debate
to express why they feel their candidate is the best choice for president.
Corrine Smith
Staff Reporter
LHU's
College
and
Republicans
Young
Democrats squared of last
Thursday in what would be the
last debate on campus before
the 2004 Presidential Election.
The event drew a crowd of
about 40 students, faculty, and
guests, including Lock Haven
Mayor Rick Villelo and the
Republican
State
Representative candidate for
the 76th District John T.
Krupa. Serving as moderator
for the event was Lock Haven
Express Editor Bob Sealy.
Representatives from the
respective organizations were
fielded questions on issues
such as healthcare, legalization
of marijuana for medicinal
purposes, the war on terror,
gay marriage, and education.
Healthcare, the war on terror, and education are key
issues in the upcoming election, issues that President
George W. Bush and Senator
John Kerry differ widely on.
Representatives of the
College Republicans stated
that Bush is for malpractice
reform and he will put an end
to frivolous lawsuits.
They
stated that Senator Kerry has
repeatedly opposed malpracThe Young
tice reform.
that
Kerry is
Democrats insist
"socialization
of
healthfor the

care" similar to that ofCanada:
if you pay more taxes in, you
gel more out of healthcare.
The Young Republicans
also stated that Kerry opposes
stem-cell research and that
Bush is the first president ever
to approve this technology.
Ihe Young Democrats countered that Kerry is for stemcell research with ethical limitations and that Bush is the
first president involved in the
research because it is such new
technology.
In a heated debate regarding the war in Iraq, the Young
Republicans defend Bush by
stating that weapons of mass
destruction are out there, and
Bush is taking steps to seek
them out and that Kerry is
wrong by stating otherwise.
"Kerry has lied," said
Hackney. "I am not afraid to
use that word like other politicians."
The Young Democrats
rebutted by stating that Kerry
is committed to putting money
into military intelligence and
cutting frivolous military
spending.
The Young Democrats
cited a flawed "No Child Left
Behind Act" as their primary
argument for Kerry's education
reform plan. The representatives explained that as the act
is now, there are no stipends
disabled or gifted students and
that if the school does not pass
the required tests, they are

labeled as "failing." Parents
then have the option to send
their children to a "passing"
school, creating an even wider
socioeconomic gap in poor
schools. Poor schools stay
poor.
The Young Republicans
respond with Bush's expansion
plan, including student loan
forgiveness, monetary incentives, and funding for high
school advanced placement
classes.
When asked to make one
last pitch for their candidate,
the College Republicans stated
that Bush has a plan, and Kerry
has only promises. They also
added that the only thing Kerry
is consistent about is being
inconsistent.
The Young
Democrats endorsed Kerry
based in part on his stance on
environmental issues and
urged voters to ask themselves: Are we better now that
we were at the turn of the century?
State Representative candidate Krupa applauded both
organizations for an outstanding job and stated that young
people getting involved was
paramount to this [political!
institution.
Mayor Villelo was also
pleased with the event and left
the crowd with these words of
wisdom: "On Wednesday, we
aren't
Democrats
or
Republicans anymore; we are
all Americans."

President Keith T. Miller and
attendees of his first open meeting ofthe semester decided many
of the measures the state school
system puts on Pennsylvania's 14
universities are unfair.
Miller said that two of the
issues that are most often discussed during state school system meetings in Harrisburg are
graduation rates and second year
persistence rates ofthe universities.
With a six-year graduation
rate of49 percent and a four-year
rate of 25 percent Lock Haven
University "can improve on
those things" said Miller
What these calculations overlook is the number of part-time
students that attend the universities.
Miller said that the number of
adult part-time students is grow-

ing and they should not be
expected to graduate within only
four to six years.
Lock Haven University's
esteemed study abroad program
was also mentioned as a reason
most students need longer than
four years to graduate. The program may put students behind,
but provides them with a greater
quality of education and outlook
on the world. These things are
not
being considered
in
Harrisburg when graduation
rates are researched.
Miller said that the state system is monetarily awarding the
universities with higher numbers
in these areas.
" This coming year we're getting $843,000. But, if they had
appropriated dollarsthe way they
used to and just given us our
share, we would have gotten over
a million," said Miller. "We're
losing money with these measures, lliat's a scary thing for me."
Large universities in the state

system make the argument that
there is a bias on small universities when it comes to second year
persistence rates. They claim that
their smaller student to teacher
ratio and class sizes allow them
to retain higher numbers in this
area.
Small universities feel there
is a bias on large universities
when it comes to measures on
minority student enrollment. An
attendee of the meeting used as
an example the comparison of
Lock Haven University to West
Chester saying the state system
has to take geographic's into
account.

Miller said LHU has done
very well with diversity considering the region it is located in.
"It's unfortunate that [the
state system] is comparing universities putting us, pitting us
against each other in some
respects." said Miller. "I think it's
counterproductive in a lot of

-

ways."

The spirit of Halloween was
definitely in the air on Saturday
October 30th, as was an enthusiastic spirit of volunteerism.
This past Saturday, Lock
Haven students took part in the
nation-wide Make A Difference
Day, which is one of three
nationally
recognized
Community Service days in
America. The Lock Haven
University Community Service
organization along with the help
of Kristi Godwin and Morgan
Ganley. helped make this event
possible within our local community.
For the last five to six years,
Make A Difference Day has
been a tradition within Lock
Haven. The city works hard to
coordinate downtown trick-ortreating for the local youngsters. Students from Lock
Haven University were responsible for an overwhelming
amount of the planning for
Saturday, including the preparation of games and activities, as
well as ensuring that Triangle
Park was reserved for the occasion. Children dressed in a wide
array of characters including
Snow White and Spiderman,
eagerly took part in constructing crafts and playing games.
Before the Halloween festivities, however, Lock Haven
students did a lot in the way of
helping the community. A
downtown cleanup project was
put into etfect. The volunteers
covered a variety of locations
that needed the extra attention
including the main street of
Lock Haven, several parking
lots within the town, and lawn
work for the local nursing

that the students will help us

most important project of the
day took place within the
Camelot Trailer Park. Lock
Haven students aided residents
in cleaning any remaining damage that resulted from the
destructive flood of several
weeks ago. At least one of the
resident's home was so devastated that it was condemned.
Volunteers assisted in tearing
down the destroyed home to
make way for a new one. The
support that this type of assistance provided to the residents
was well worth the time.

Another blood drive encourages students to donate Billy Mills inspires
crowd with his life story
Timothy Lyter

f

A packed crowd ofapproximately 250 Lock Haven
University students, faculty, and
staff welcomed Olympic gold
medalist. Billy Mills, to share
his thoughts about his valuebased system of self-empowerment.

Mills' value system is based
upon the pursuit of dreams. This
system has four virtues one
must

stand by: bravery, forti-

tude, generosity, and wisdom.

One must have the bravery and
fortihide to reach deep inside
their souls and gather wisdom.
That wisdom will empower a
person to be generous, which
then empowers others.
"Pursuit of dreams will heal
you," said Mills. "If you believe
in the virtues, you will one day
become a warrior."
Mills is a Native American
who was born and raised on the
Pine Ridge reservation in South
Dakota. In 1964, at the summer
games in Tokyo, Japan, Mills
won the gold medal in the
10,000-meter run. At that time,
he set an Olympic record and
until this day, is still the only
American to win that race.
When Mills was 9-yearsold, his father told him that
Olympians were chosen by the
gods. After losing his mother,
who died from complications of
diabetes and nicotine problems.
Mills thought that maybe if he
was an Olympian, he could see
his mother. Three years later,
Mills father also passed away,
leaving him orphaned.
"I thought ifI was chosen by
the gods, 1 would get to see my
mom again," said Mills.
After high school. Mills
earned an athletic scholarship to
the University of Kansas for his
involvement in distance running. He was an All-American

seven times even though he
never won a major race. Mills
was the only American to earn
the honor of being an AllAmerican and was never given
any recognition. That is when
he learned about perceptions
that people had about others.
That lead him to contemplate
suicide, but a strange voice told
him, "Don't."
"When I heard that voice. I
opened my psychology book,"
said Mills. "I saw that critical
thinking ofthe mind cannot tell
the difference from reality or
imagination, it is a fifty-fifty
share."
After graduation from the
University ofKansas, Mills was
commission as an officer in the
United States Marine Corps.
That enabled him to keep training to make the Olympic team.
He made the team in two
events: the marathon and the
10.000 meter run.
The 10,000-meter run was
one of the most physical races
that Mills ever ran. By the third
lap of the race, he was seconds
from his best time for a threemile race, but the problem is
that it was a 6.2 mile race. On
the final lap. Mills closed his
eyes and vision himself winning
the race. He said to himself, "I
can win. I can win." Mills did
win with a new Olympic record
time of 28:24.4. He pulled off a
major sport upset and made history of being the first American
to win the 10.000-meter run.
Through his story. Mills
hopes that he shares his value
system with the youth of
America and that it will influence them to perform at their
highest abilities.
"My father taught stories to
teach lessons. Native American
story telling teaches tradition
and spirit, and this is what I
thought how my idea should be
told," said Mills.

Don't hide under makeup
Deena Campbell
The Pitt News (U.
Pittsburgh)
Come on, ladies; we've all
done it. You jump out of bed
after a long night of studying,
turn to face your alarm clock,
and you realize you've done it
again you're late for class.
You quickly gather any
piece of clothing that looks
remotely clean, throw it on,
grab your books, and head
toward the door. Suddenly
you glance at the mirror in
horror; you look a complete

Wal Mart kills culture, brings efficency
Joe Melber
Guest Columnist
As this election season has
wound to a close, America
moves away from the polarization it has enjoyed in the past
few months and back toward
what we truly are, a society of a
fewrich, a few more alright, and
many more poor. Upon this
foundation, one establishment
has flourished and now has
raked in over $200 billion in
sales. The establishment I talk
about is of course the giant corporation known as Wal-Mart.
This single company has
taken advantage of American
society beyond al) comparison
since its opening. During its
lifespan, every American family
in the lower 40 or 50 percent
income tax bracket has no doubt
visited Wal-Mart at least once.
The trick to their prosperity?
Wal-Mart more than any other
company has brought the greatest and broadest variety of
goods and services to its customers of a very exact demographic group, the same demo-

graphic that makes up at least
half the country and the results
have been outstanding.
In addition to the great
amounts of revenue that this
company has sucked out of the
lower strata of American society, it has also brought some of
the larger movements in consumerism in the country's recent
history. Since its policy of family friendly atmosphere has
required edited CDs be sold in
the store with no exceptions, a
huge wave of production in edited CDs has been the result.
Similar effects have been the
result in many high tag items
such as electronics, in a company that strives on selling cheap
products; Sony has been virtually kicked out in favor of low
priced electronics imported
from emerging super giants such
as India and China.
Although the company
seems to have a firm grasp on
America's lower social strata,
the rest ofthe world seems ofan
ever growing interest to the
giant. Wal-Mart stores have
embraced globalization by not
only importing electronics
around the world but also open-

ing stores abroad. Wal-Mart has
expanded to nine new countries
since 1991 with amazing success bringing about not only a
place for the lower strata to consume but also a place of
employment.
While by
American standards Wal-Mart
employment may be a waste of
talent, in some of these foreign
prospects, such as Argentina, it
is one of the better jobs in town.
It may also be cited by many as
a destroyer of local culture, but
its utility is being served and
with benefits seen by the locals,
Wal-mart has steam rolled
throughout the world.
Another company has joined
effectively alongside Wal-mart
in the American globalization
movement and that giant's name
is McDonalds. Its organization
lies in its ability to produce large
quantities of food at ;apid rates
and the rest of the world has
joined in its calling with slightly
differentiated menus. Though
McDonalds has spread some
American influence I would be
cautious to call the spread of the
influence "McDonaldization" as
many have coined the term.
Where as McDonalds produc-

tion form fits for certain societies (rice is used in Chinese
areas), Wal-Mart's produce is so
general it can be used anywhere
such as electronics that are sold
in the United States are the same
as those sold in Taiwan.
Inherently, we have a drive
to defend longstanding cultures
and try and preserve their ways.
Though that is an alright idea to
some extent, my purpose of
writing this is to caution the
suppression of progress because
of a preconceived evil that it
may contain. Wal-mart kills
culture, but brings efficiency,
and from that spawns prosperity.
The so called "invasion" of
American influence through all
other cultures is a non-issue;
only the happiness ofthe people
is the final decider of good or
evil.

sophomore economics
and political science
major who writes a

Things that bother me
among other things

Simrt ItOmttttAitomw

Matthew McKeague
Guest Columnist

So you voted...Now what?
Lindsay Johnson
Co-editor in Chief
So you voted. Or maybe you
didn't. As I'm writing this, people all over the country are placing their votes, and the final
decision is only hours away. But
hopefully by the time this is
published, a clear winner will
have been decided and
announced. So now what?
This election has stirred an
incredible amount of interest in
tne college-student age group,
and that's especially obvious
here at Lock Haven University.
It seems that you can't look anywhere on campus lately without
seeing a button or sticker
endorsing one candidate or the
other (and those endorsements
justkeep multiplying). The 2004
Presidential Election has been
the focus ofmany heated discussions on campus, both in and out
of class. Movies such as
Fahrenheit 9/11 and Fahrenhype
have been shown to educate and
persuade voters. Voter registration drives were held at the

beginning of October, and
debates were hosted throughout
the rest ofthe month.
After this week, ail of the
political excitement will most
likely die down to a (very) dull
roar on this campus. But it doesn't have to be that way.
The election is over. But the
issues that we considered when
we voted are still there. New
issues are coming up every day.
This one tight, for possession of
the most powerful title in
America, has come to a close for
four years. But so many other
fights are stilt being fought
every day, and they need your
help just as much as this fight
needed your input.
Don't justsit on your dufffor
another four years, when it's
time to make a decision again.
Find a way to continue making
your voice heard. Here are just a
few ways:
-Choose a cause to get
involved with. Whether it's abortion rights, the fight to find a
cure for (insert disease here),
gun control legislation, or
homosexual rights, find some-

thing you're passionate about
and act on that passion. Even if
getting passionate just means
researching a cause and telling
your friends how you feel about
it, get out there and do it.
-Volunteer for a government
or non-profit organization. The
Red Cross, YMCA, and homeless and women's shelters are
just a few places where your
time and talents can be used
locally and greatly appreciated.
-Write letters to the people in
positions of power letting them
know that you're aware of their
presence and actions, that you
like or don't like what they're
doing, and what you think needs
to be done. Or write letters to the
editor of a local newspaper. By
taking that route, you'll not only
be letting politicians know how
you feel, but you might also
drum up some support for your
purpose in writing the letter.
-In addition to writing letters, create petitions and pass
themaround to be signed. If you
think that your one lonely voice
won't be enough, make your
voice louder.

With all the political fights
going on, important issues have
been talked about to death, so to
be different, here's a list of silly
or non-important things that
bother me.
People walking just a little
too slow in front ofyou. People
sitting beside you on airplanes
that it's a physical impossibility
for them to smell pleasant.
People that don't know who
"Weird Al" Yankovic is. People
that try to turn left on North
Fairview Street leaving the college. People in the electronics
section of Wal-Mart that have
no idea what's going on.
Good TV shows getting cancelled. Bad TV shows lasting
forever. Jimmy Fallon never
being able to keep a straight face
during an SNL. skit. Video
games that are considered good
by how many hookers you can
kill and how violent the game is.
Comics that have to swear to be
funny.
Tofu. How good songs are
being used in commercials, and
every time 1 hear it all I can
think about is Burger King or a
stupid car. Parents that still
allow their kids to spend the
night at Michael Jackson's
house. Girls in elementary
schools dressing like they're
working the street.
Popup ads and Spam (not the
congealed meat but the e-mail
term.) In TV shows or movies
when they switch a character's
actor or actress with another one
and expect the audience not to
notice. People that use Internet
talk. (Wut iz up wit dat? How r
u?) Hillbillies. Pork barrel legislation. People who say because
you like Michael Moore means
you are anti-American. How the
term "liberal" is considered a
horrible quality. Anna Nicole

-Get involved in local politics. Attend city council meetings or join sub-committees.
-Don't forget about campus
government. Become an SCC
Senator. Attend SCC Senate
Meetings as a spectator.
(Psst...they meet tonight at 7:30
p.m. in PUB Meeting Room #2).
There are so many ways for
college students to have a say.
Your voice didn't stop with your
vote yesterday. And if you didn't
vote yesterday, but now you
wish you had, why wait four
years to make up for it?
Stand up. Speak out. Get
involved.

It's called the Doug Flutie
effect.
Heisman-winning quarterback Doug Flutie threw a
48-yard pass in November of
1984 to complete a huge win
the
Miami
against
Hurricanes, then led his
Boston College Eagles on to
a Cotton Bowl victory. The
next year, BC had a huge
surge in applications.
That laid the groundwork
for the idea that a great
national sports program
could increase the number
and therefore quality
of
applicants for a university.
Now, 20 years later, the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association has released a
report on the graduation
rates of scholarship athletes.
The good news is that certain programs, like track and
football, are doing very well

The bad news is that
men's basketball players are
graduating at a rate of 44
percent. Especially distressing is the state ofblack male
basketball players, who were
graduating only about 38
percent of the time, a year
ago. That racial disparity has
lessened somewhat, in part
because white male basketball players are graduating at
10-year lows.
NCAA President Myles
Brand doesn't know why,
shockingly, but he does
know that academic stanare
increasing.
dards
Collegiate athletes are now
required to have 60 percent
of their degree requirements
completed by their junior
year, 80 percent by senior
year, and can only participate as fifth-year athletes if
they are completely done

——

t

with degree requirements.
And the NCAA has promised more reports about the

issue.
The fact of the matter is
that many student athletes in
high-profile, high-budget

pass may have been magical,
but its legacy at this point
seems as much exploitation
as anything else.
Last year, huge amounts
of press were devoted to
Connecticut center Emeka
Okafor, who was not just an
incredible player but an allaround brilliant man. As
much as specimens like
Okafor may not be the norm,
there is no reason that universities like Pitt and UConn
could not make it a little
clearer to their scholarship
athletes that an academic
experience, if not academic
excellence, is something to
which they are entitled when
they come here.
For some accomplished
players, sports will be their
working life. But most will
not have lucrative professional careers, and, so long
as schools like Pitt are willing to invest in their talent,
they might as well also

programs like basketball
come to places like Pitt with
very little interest in being
students, despite the advantages of free tuition and
exceptional tutoring and academic support. And it's hard
to blame them.
Universities are often
guilty of keeping their student athletes secluded, of
sending the message that
there is no viable career
option aside from professional sports for someone on
a basketball scholarship.
Consequently, academics are
seen as an NCAA hoop
through which to jump, not
an opportunity to get something to back up the incredibly remote chance of an
NBA career. Doug Flutie's invest in their future.

Since its formation in the 1980's, the Lock Haven University's Modern Dance Company has been dancing up a storm.
With varieties of dance genres and with participants ranging in all levels, the group is truly diverse and works together to put on a
great show. They performed at Campus Craze, the Homecoming pep rally, and basketball games and perform again this month.
Brendon Costello
Staff Reporter
Of Lock Haven University's
numerous dance oriented clubs
and organizations, only one can

have the distinction ofbeing the
oldest one around.
The LHU Modern Dance
C ompany has been around since
the 1980s, according to club
president, Jess Fink, junior.
The club, which is open lo
any student on campus whether
they possess experience or not.

to jazz music, but also performs
other forms including tap, aero-

batic, ballet, lyrical and pointe

fast style of ballet).
Most recently, the Modern
Dance C ompany performed in
Price Auditorium for the homecoming pep rally.
"Typical shows last about an
hour and a half," said Fink,
"Each number lasts about three
and a half minutes." Typically
announcers take time to introduce each ofthe fifteen to t wenty numbers during a show,
which will extend lime beyond
the total time ittakes to perform,
"Our next performance will
be on Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. in
Price Auditorium," Fink said,
Upon realization of the
(a

approaching date Fink excitedly
added that it was only a few
weeks away and that preparations for the performance are
well underway.
Dance numbers are primarily choreographed by five regular
choreographers, who are "old
members," those who have been
members for more than a year,
The club consists of thirty
female dancers and one male
dancer.
"New members," according
to Fink, are also required to ereate their own dance numbers,

included "Outrageous" by

great way to meet new people."
A consensus is rife. Fink
said that as a result of joining

and

Chris

Cowan proved they are the top
two runners

in Pennsylvania, by
placing first and second this
weekend at the Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference
Championship. They also
helped the men's cross country
team win the team title, the
second-straight for Lock Haven
University.
Lock Haven had seven
runners in the top 16 and six of
those received All-PSAC Team,
a honor that is given to the top
15 finishers.
Sophomore Blood ran the
8K course with a time of 25:36
and Cowan, a senior, was only
10 seconds behind him. In
seventh was junior Bill
Buckenmeyer with a time of
26:08. Joe Wiegner and Greg
Davis were eighth and ninth.
The senior and freshman ran the
course with times of 26:12 and
26:13, respectively. Freshman
Shawn Moore was the number
six runner for Lock Haven,
placing 14th with a time of
26:33.
Chris
Sophomore
Robson placed 16th, in 26:37.
"It feels really good being
the runner that everybody is out
to get. and I hope that it can stay
that way for the rest of the
season," stated Blood.
Coach Aaron Russell was
extremely proud of the team.
"They continue to impress me
with their composure and
heart."
Russell commented that not
only did the top seven perform
well, but four more men were
also big contributors to the
team. The teams are limited to
racing nine athletes, so two
alternates ran the course the
night before. Freshman Zack
Deitz and senior Jeff Skwierz
both had times that would have
placed them in the top 35 had
they been able to race. The
number eight runner for Lock
Haven, Aaron Benson, would
have been higher up in the
standings, but he lost his shoe
during the second mile. Benson,
a sophomore, showed true

commitment, running
the
remainder of the race, through
mud and rough ground, with a
bare foot. Benson finished 27th.
Coach Russell emphasized
that the men are a testament to
learning from each race
throughout the season and
putting it all together when it
counts.
"Each one ofthese guys put
the team above themselves, and
were a true display as to what
our team is about: toughness,
tenacity and grit."
Cowan was happy with the
way the team performed under
pressure at the PSAC's and he
feels
that winning
the
conference meet gave the
runners a lot of confidence that
they can take with them to the
NCAA
East
Regional

"I feel that we can win the
NCAA Championships if we
continue doing what we have
been doing all year," said
Cowan.
The Regional Championships hold a 10K race, as
opposed to the 8K races that the
runners have been competing on
all season. The team, however,
has trained on it and Coach
Russell thinks the men feel
better about it now that they can
develop a strategy in their
minds. Blood feels the team is
really strong and that they will
have no problem repeating as
East Region Champions.
Both Blood and Cowan
stated that they would love to
win the individual East
Regional Title, but Coach
Russell says both the runners are
class acts.
"Rather than take a
cut-throat approach at each
other, they work together and
push each other," said Russell.
"They help each other through
the rough spots in practice, as
well as races, and it makes them
both better athletes and
competitors."
The NCAA Division II East
Region Championships will be
held at Indiana University of
Pennsylvania on Saturday.

The third time didn't prove to
be a charm against IUP, as the
women's soccer team dropped
their quarterfinal match of the
PSAC playoffs against the
Indians Tuesday at McCollum
Field, 1-0.
The Eagles entered the
match with a conference record
of 8-1-1, while Indiana
University entered the contest
with a record of 7-3 in the PSAC
West. Two ofthe Haven's eight
conference wins came against
the Indians this season.

Cal scores

Both teams played tough in
the first half, with both defenses
standing tall in with the 0-0 halftime knot. About twenty five
minutes into the second half a
goal was scored by Indiana putting them up 1-0. LHU played

The Lock Haven football
team suffered a hard-fought
defeat on Senior Day. 45-24 to
the Vulcans of California (Pa.).
This gives the Haven a 3-7
overall mark, with a 1-4 PSAC
West record with only one game
left in the season.
The Vulcans came out hot in
the first quarter recording a
safety, two passing touchdowns
by Matt Humbert, and a rushing
touchdown by Antoine Bagwell.
This gave Cal a 23-0 first
quarter lead they would never
relinquish.

fighting throughout the first half
and got on the board five

The home team kept
chipping away at the Vulcan
lead when Tim Storino tossed a
38-yard touchdown to Kellen

The defense was again solid in
the third quarter forcing two
punts, intercepting a pass,
allowing not one first down and
not giving up any points. The
score at the end ofthree quarters
was Cal 23, Lock Haven 10.
The Vulcan offense came to
life in the fourth quarter scoring
on a 7-yard run by Antoine
Bagwell, giving Cal the lead
31-10. The Haven immediately
answered with a touchdown
reception by Rafael Smith with
six and a half minutes
remaining. Bagwell tacked on
another touchdown run opening
up the lead 38-17. The Bald

Ea 8,es showed their resiliency
as Atlam Lawrence caught
touchdown pass of 23 yards lo
close the gap to 38-24. The
Vulcans controlled the clock for
the rest ofthe game and scored a
touchdown with three seconds
remaining to give Cal the win
45-24.
Tim Storino led the offensive
charge with 267 yards passing
and three touchdowns. Maurice
Walker had 38 yards on the
ground, giving him 846 yards

12th at the National Invitational
hosted by Penn State University.
Blood was the first Division II
runner to come across the line in
an elite field ofrunners.
"I did not expect my season
to be going this well, but I am
happy with it," said Blood.
After a freshman year that
showed the affects of a runner
making the transition to college
competition, Blood has shown
that he is here to stay.
Blood graduated from East
Pennsboro High School and was
the indoor 3000 meter State
Champion as a junior in 2002.
He was also a four time state
qualifier in cross country and
track.
"Ryan Blood was a household name for Pennsylvania
high school running," said head
men's and women's cross
country coach Aaron Russell.
Blood had a well known
reputation before he even started
his college career and everybody
had their eyes on him, waiting to
see what he did every race.
Coach Russell feels those high
expectations from outside
sources influenced Ryan's
personal expectations and he
needed time to settle in.
"He used last year to feel
things out," said Russell.
Coach Russell says it all
goes back to his preparation.
Blood was coached by his
father, Rick Blood, in high
school.
"His dad was his coach and
he is an amazing coach," said
Russell. "Ryan and his dad have
a great relationship and his dad
never pushed him to do
anything," added Russell.
It's hard not to listen to your
dad, especially when your dad is
who he is. Rick Blood wasa two
time All-PSAC Cross Country
runner for Lock Haven in 1978
and 1979. The two ofthem have
a great relationship and running
brings them together. When

With the end of their season
fast approaching, the volleyball
team is finishing the regular
season strong, with a current
record of 21-3. 6-2 PSAC West.
With hopes of redemption,
the Eagles head into their last
two matches against IUP and
California University of Pa, not
just focused, but determined to
grab two wins as IUP and CalU
were the only two conference
loses for Lock Haven this
season.
"The season has been very
successful this year," said junior
setter Kelly Kostelich. "We
have two games left in regular

season which are two very big
games."
The 2004 season has not
only been successful for the
ladies as a team but for certain
individual players as well.

It took 86 years, but for the fans of the Boston Red Sox it was well worth it.
The Boston Red Sox capped off a seven game winning streak by sweeping the
St. Louis Cardinals and earning their first world series title since 1918. The
Curse of the Bambino is over and let the party begin in New England. Fans
poured into the streets just like they did when the Sox finished off the
Yankees in Game 7 of the ALCS. The remarkable thing about the Red Sox
team is that no one individual is responsible for taking them all the way.
Manny Ramirez received the MVP award for the playoffs but as skipper Terry
Francona said "They could have given that award to anyone on our team."
The 1860s are coming back as there is word of another civil war in the
United States but this time it is only between two opposing sides of one state.
Eastern and Western Pennsylvania will collide in the biggest game of the NFL
season this weekend as the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles travel west to take
on the one loss Pittsburgh Steelers who are coming off a 34-20 dismantling
previously undefeated New England Patriots. Trash talk among fans has
already begun here in Lock Haven with an equal representation of both EaglcsV
and Steelers fans. While 1 have no interest in cither team, this game may
possibly be a preview of what could be a Keystone State super bowl this year.
Imagine what state Pennsylvania would be in then? Well see what happens
after this game first. If you are able to survive this weekend, then you will be
able to read my take on the game itself and the sights and sounds in
Pittsburgh.
It was a day of chaotic encounters this weekend in the state of Florida and
no I am not talking about an election. For the first time since 1976, the
Florida Gators, Florida State Seminoles, and the Miami Hurricanes all lost on
the same day in college football. The Gators were beaten by a stellar Georgia
dogs. On the other hand, Florida State and Miami were upset by Maryand North Carolina respectively. All votes in Florida were accounted for
T
and the results were the state of Florida 0 and everyone else 3.
The battle between the states of Texas and Oklahoma highlight the college
xrtball weekend as #7 Texas hosts #19 Oklahoma
late while #2 Oklahoma travels to College Station to
ike on #22 Texas A&M. This week's upsets are
laryland over a heavy favorite # 13 Virginia team
nd Purdue over the #20 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes.

There was a chilling, frightening feeling surrounding Sloan
this Halloween Season. From
the minute visitors entered the
front doors, it was apparent that
Sloan had taken on a new eerie
appearance.
"I have never seen Sloan
look so spooky," said Senior
Bobbi Crownover.
This past weekend, the
University Players hosted their
annual Halloween event. The
Haunted Studio was renamed
"Countdown to Terror," because
of the new additions made to it
this year.
"You could tell they put a lot
of time into the set-up." said
Freshman Vanessa DeYulius.
Visitors were greeted on the
first floor of Sloan, and from the
time the elevator opened they
could tell things had changed
from previous years. The elevator stopped in the basement

before proceeding to the
Countdown Theater.
"I got scared." said
DeYulius. "I didn't want to get
off the elevator."
All the time and effort the
University Players put into the
Countdown to Terror paid off.
"We did very well this year, and
we had a great turnout." said
Mclinda Richner. fundraising
chair for University Players.
"At one point of the night the
whole entire hallway was full of
people waiting to go through
Countdown to Terror."
Friday night proved to be the
busier of the two nights. "We
had a better turn out on Friday
then we did last year, with both
combined,"
said

University Players member
Dave Oroza.
The money collected from

Music Review

Loveliness
Stoned
Joss Stone: Mind, Body, & Soul

Three Stars
Edward Savoy
Staff Reporter

[f Joss Stone had lived in
1974 instead of 2004, she
would have been the queen
(or at least a queen) of the
soul music world. Instead,
she is an emerging artist who
is gaining more fans and
press by the day, especially
after selling more than two
million copies of her last CD.
While we can lament the fact
that it's taking this long for
her to "make it" in the music
world (or at least on the pop
top 40), at least we can all go
to bed securely at night
knowing that she is making
it, for if such a huge talent as
Joss Stone had gone completely unrecognized, then 1
might finally have to give up
all hope on modern music.
On Joss Stone's second
album, Mind, Body, & Soul,
she sticks more or less with
the same formula that made
her first album. The Soul
Sessions, a success ; namely,
that of a 21st century British
teen singing pre-disco era
style soul with the panache
and energy of someone dou-

ble her 17 years. Hyperbole
though it may be, 1 honestly
believe she could sing whatever lyrics she found in a
computer manual and make
them more soulful and genuine than 90% of the music
being made today. It wouldn't be going too far to say
that she is the best new
singer that has come across
the music scene in a great
many years.
The
main difference
between this album and her
previous one is that, on
Mind. Body, & Soul. Joss
Stone has seemingly developed some song-writing
chops, co-writing 12 of the
14 tracks on the album.
While some of these songs do
get repetitive and trade in too
much on their '70's heritage,
there are enough good songs
to make the album enjoyable
and to expose Stone as a
potentially emerging songwriter in addition to being a
transcendent singer. Songs
like the propulsive "You Had
Me" and "Snakes and
Ladders", mid-tempo songs
like "Less is More" and the
softer ballads like "Right To
Be Wrong" and "Spoiled" are

It may seem that I go on
and on at great length about
the glories of Ms. Stone, but
it is only because a voice like
hers can make a true believer
of anyone: if she sang gospel
music instead of soul, I have
no doubt that she could probably convert nine out of 10

atheists within a minute. A
voice like that of Joss Stone
doesn't come along often; to
not savor it as much as possible could nearly be termed an
eighth deadly sin. We'll have
to wait a little while her
song-writing chops catch up
with her voice, but it's certainly worth the wait.

Characters from art history coincide in artist's work
Stephanie La Sota
Staff Reporter
The Fine Arts Society and
attendees welcomed artist
Charles Caldemeyer at the
opening of his gallery in the
John Sloan Fine Arts Building,
Monday. This is the third and
last professional visiting artist
gallery fcr the 2004 fall
semester.
Caldemeyer received his
Bachelor of Arts degree in
painting at the University of
South Florida and his Master
of Fine Arts degree in painting
at Washington University. He
currently is an associate professor and chair of the department of art at Ashland
University in Ashland, Ohio.
Caldemeyer's works confeist of two-dimensional paintings using encaustics, waxy
paints that provide a thick texture to his works which he
loves. His paintings are eyecatching because they are not

framed in the average rectangular shape. Instead, they are
separated into five pieces
while still consisting of one
whole. Caldemeyer said that
the paintings are set up to
show the interaction of opposites and to isolate different
levels of his work while also
showing their cohesiveness.
He said the shape gives the
sense of a journey as the viewers' eyes move around the
piece.
Caldemeyer also enjoys
working with miniature sculpture and has brought a work
entitled "The Big House" to
the gallery in Sloan. The work
is a miniature model of a home
that can be peered into through
windows and openings to see
the intricate details of each
room. Lights in the house
work on a fader circuit so that
only one or two rooms can be
observed at a time before the
viewer must move on to the
next. This piece reflects
Caldemeyer's interest in architecture.

Throughout his works
there is a consistency he uses
of applying past artists' work
into his own and making it
something new. Caldemeyer
said that he is always interested in how people classify
information and why it is that
educated people see artist's
works and derive the same
interpretation from them.
"I owe a lot of debts as an
artist to the artists who came
before me," said Caldemeyer.
"The big ideas have all been
done. I'm not saying it's
impossible to be original, but I
think the field has narrowed to
a certain extent."
Caldemeyer has efficiently
utilized all "the big ideas" of
past artists to create his own
vision of art. He said that
something he always tells his
classes is that "creativity is
well-disguised theft."
Caldemeyer's works will
be on display in the John
Sloan Fine Arts Building until
November 26.

Cemetery Tour offered insight on past
Timothy Lyter
Staff Reporter
A dark, creepy cemetery tour
is ideal for a scare on a
Halloween weekend, but the
Highland Cemetery tour is a little different.
The third annual Historic
Lantern-Light tour of Highland
Cemetery was held this past
Halloween weekend. The tour
featured brief descriptions of
important people of Lock
Haven's history who are buried
in the cemetery.
Some of the people mentioned were Levi Augustus
Mackey, Lock Haven's first
mayor, John Sloan, internationally renowned artist born in
Lock Haven, and Philip M. Price
who donated the land for the
Highland Cemetery.
Price also donated the land
the university is built on. At the
time. Lock Haven University
was called Central
State
Mountain School.
A donation of S5 was asked
for before the start ofthe tour to
benefit the cemetery's tombstone
restoration project. Over the
years, the cemetery sustained
severe damage from the effects
of weather and more recently
three acts of vadalization have
occurred.

placeable objects were vandalized," said genealogist Dave
Wallace.
Due to an irrevocable trust
which allows for limited money
to be used, the Woolrich Lions
Club has sponsored the tour all

three years and has taken care of
the liability insurance which
covers the tour in case someone
was injured.
"That's what is nice," said
Wallace. "It enables us to have
the tour."

The tour began by word-ofmouth from a friend of Wallace,
"A friend of mine heard
about a tour like this in another
city," he said. "It took about two
years to figure out who we wanted to talk about."

Concert Review

Yellowcard and other punk bands rocked Penn State
Daniella De Luca

.,

Craig's
Brother,
The
Matches. The Starting Line and
Yellowcard.
J Yes, those are all punk band
Jnames. and these are the bands
■that rocked the stage at Penn
State's Bryce Jordan Center on
Monday night.
Tickets were sold out in the
pit and seating area overlooking
it. Since this was my first time
in the seats at a concert scene
and not on the floor, I got a
much better look at the bands
then I would have had, if I was
down in the pit. It was definitely a more relaxed atmosphere in
the seats which many of the
bands referred to as the nose
bleed section. They shouted

things like "How you guys doin'
there?" "We love you Penn
State!" and also emphasized the
importance of voting the next
day to all the concert-goers.
The Starting Line and
Yellowcard, the two main bands
that were more well-known in
the pop-punk world, appeared to
be the crowd favorites, especially since Yellowcard was the
main title band. Judgingfrom all
the people screaming/singing
the lyrics along with the last two
bands, it seems as if Craig's
Brother and The Matches were
not given enough respect.
Maybe their music just needs to
get more publicity before they
can become as big as bands like
Yellowcard.
The Starting Line played
two new songs, one of which
out

was "Driven By the Dollar
Sign" in addition to several
older ones like "Best of Me,"
and "Left Coast Envy."
Although they played a lot
slower in concert than on their
CDs. most of the crowd still
sang along with every word, and
by this point in the concert,
three-quarters of the way
through, voices were fading
fast.
Voices, however, did not
fade once Yellowcard took the
stage. They played in their poppunk rock fashion and even a
few acoustic songs as a bridge in
the middle of the set. They
played for about a full hour with
an encore, and the wait was well
worth it.
Many of their songs were
from their latest album. Ocean

Avenue, like "Only One" but a

few of their songs were their
original EPs or singles such as
"Powder," "For Pete's Sake,"
"Rocket," and "Way Away" to
name a few. They had three different sets, one of which included the lyrics to some of their
songs. There was also a very
extravagant light show with all
different color combinations
and shapes such as stars, dots,
and rotating saw blades. These
were patterns that I would not
have seen had 1 been on the
floor.
Seeing the bands from a different perspective was an interesting experience, and was a
nice way to get a concert experience without being injured in a
mosh pit.

"Schooling in Ecuador is

Andrea was granted a full
scholarship to study in the
United States. But with breathtaking sites such as the
Galapagos Islands in Ecuador
and all the culturally enriched
artwork at the Musco de Prado

decide to ride the college wave

"Getting an education and

very difficult because you find
yourself buried in homework

Andrea.
Unlike Lock Haven, most
universities in Ecuador do not
