Pennsylvania state schools will face
tuition increase in upcoming year
Melissa Trentadue
Staff Reporter
Lock Haven students as well
as students at the other 13 stateowned universities throughout
Pennsylvania could see a tuition
increase by S152 next year.
Earlier last week, the State
System of Higher Education's
governing board approved an
early budget plan for the 2006-07
academic school year that relies
on a 3.1 percent increase in
tuition.
An increase of that size can
raise the tuition rates at Lock
Haven as well as the other state
universities to S5.058.
The board of members spent
two hours wrangling about how
much to seek in aid from the state.
They thenagreed upon $472 million in-state aid for the system's
budget. In the end will be a 26.7
million increase.
However, the tuition rates will
not be finalized until next summer
after the state aid for the public
university system has been set for
the 2006-07 state budget.
If the tuition does increase,
financial aid will not increase,
which was a fear amongst many
students.
"Typically, an increase in
tuition does not affect the financial aid. It generally stays the

same as in the past," said Cheryl
Bartholomew
at
secretary
Financial Aid office at LHU.
The board members noted
that in the past two years state
appropriations for the system rose
about three to four percent.
The board supported seeking
a three to five percent increase in
state funding, which they
described as likely to be funded.
They proposed asking the state
for a nine percent increase.
"We don't want to shortchange ourselycs," said board
member Guido Pichinin. "If we
don't ask for it, we're never going
to get it."
The State System of Higher
Education expects its overall
costs to increase next year by S57
million.
"I think having an unrealistic
appropriations increase doesn't
do anybody any good," said
David Brinjac.
The bulk of the increase
comes in the areas of salaries,
benefits and utilities.
The union contracts that cover
a majority of system employees
will require an increase in salaries
and wages of 5.9 percent next
year.
The cost of providing
employee benefits is expected to
increase by more than eight percent, officials said.

Board Chairman Ken Jarin
prepared a tentative budget plan
that requires eliminating 65 management positions to reduce the
need for a larger state appropriation.
Jarin asked the managers to
develop a separate plan that also
would have required 2.5 percent
reductions in positions among
faculty and other employee
groups. This translated to about
138 faculty positions.
Jarin also said that direction
was given so the State System of
Higher Education could show the
governor and legislature it was
considering the cut in cost. This
moves in hopes of getting the
request of its full state appropriation fulfilled.
Student board member Chris
Collins figured out the math for
his school, Indiana University of
Pennsylvania, and if a 2.5 percent
cut in faculty positions was to
occur, it would mean 17 fewer
professors. This would also mean
144 fewer classes being offered.
"This will have a lifetime
impact on 107,000 people,"
Collins said.
At the end, board members
decided to hold off on sharing
with the legislature and plan for
layoffs or more budgetary cuts
until they found out ifthey would
be needed.

Computer labs affect students and professors

SCC removes inactive clubs
but helps others with travel
Sarah Wojcik
Staff Reporter
The SCC voted unanimously to derccognize three campus
clubs that have been deemed
inactive on November 2 by
passing a bill that made the
decision official.
The act was the first of what
may be several different bills
that will be proposed to dcrecognizc even more clubs and
organizations as the SCC seeks
to get rid of clubs that arc no
longer active.
Vice president Matthew
Wise announced that by the
next SCC meeting a total of 17
more clubs may be derecognized.
Those that met the fate this
past week were the LHU Radio
Club, Student Environmental
Action Club and Students of
Universal Races, Cultures, and
Ethnicities (SOURCE).
Wise has no intention of forgetting about active groups on
campus; however, as he promised to continue the Club
Outreach Program.
The program encourages
SCC members to visit different
clubs in hopes of understanding
the needs that those organizations face.
The SCC also passed a revision to the SCC's Gas Mileage
Policy during the evening.
The revision was introduced
by SCC Treasurer Leandra
Torres who explained that rising
gasoline prices prompted the
change in the policy.
The amount of money now
allotted to clubs that appeal to
the SCC to cover their gas
charges has increased 56 percent from the previous policy
Instead of the 31 cents per
mile that was offered in the past
the SCC now offers 48.5 cents
per mile for trips ranging from
30-150 miles.

This change is a positive
thing for students, according to
Torres.
"Clubs and organizations
get more money for their trips
so they can pay for their gas
without a problem," she said.
Graduate of Lock Haven
University and former speaker
of the senate, Jason Fitzgerald,
made an appearance during the
meeting in order to promote a
fundraising project that KISSFM. his employer, was embarking on.

The Children's Miracle
Network currently helps 98 percent ofall children who undergo
a heart or lung transplant and 88
percent ofchildren with cancer.
When Fitzgerald heard
about the opportunity to help
with the station's project, he
jumped into it. despite the comments that money would be lost
during the airing of the program.
"Regardless of whether or
not it helps us in ratings, it's the
right thing to do," Fitzgerald
said.

going to show them they are
wrong."

As

school, looking for continued growth, up-to-date technology, especially in the
computer facilities will go a
long way to advertise our

Ten gigabyte per second
Ethernet would be an expensive upgrade to our university's existent network equipment, it could pay for itself
in the long-run. in terms of
attracting future students.
Companies like Neterion.
Sun Microsystems, HewlettPackard, and Cray are working to make this technology
the industry standard for networking communications.
"If you were a college

The same analogy holds true
for all students. Would you

Career Services says appearance is important
Brandy Rissmiller
Staff Reporter
Prospective employers make
assumptions about professional
integrity and prospective performance based upon appearances, especially during first
meetings.
This is why Career Services
advises that every college student's closet must contain professional attire for interviews.
As everyone knows, the
process of overcoming poor first
impressions is a long and hard
one.
Not that dressing professionally will land you your dream
job alone, but it will not hurt.
Even if the company dress is
casual, dress up for interviews
anyway.
First and foremost, it is
important to practice good
hygiene before interviews.
It may sound like a given,
but remember to take a shower,
brush your teeth, comb your hair
and trim your fingernails.
Also important is to not deluge yourself with cologne and
perfume. A powerful fragrance
can be a turn-off to an interviewer.
Navy blue and charcoal gray
are two good color choices for
outfits for both men and women.
Try to avoid bright and
flashy colors, like pink and

orange.
Men have it a little easier
than women when it comes to
preparing their clothes for an
interview.
Career Services suggests to
wear a classically cut tailored
suit.
Shirts are usually the safest
they
are white or eggshell.
if
Ties that contain pictures are
not appropriate for interviews.
Socks may sound like a
miniscule article ofclothing, but
men should wear calf length that
matches their suits.
Shoes should be polished
and laced-up. The color of shoes
and belts should match.
Jewelry should be kept to a
minimum- no more than one
ring and a dress watch.
If a woman decides to wear a
skirt, it should fall below her
knees and be classically styled,
but not form fitting.
Shins can contain a bit of
color, but not enough to overwhelm the outfit.
Pantyhose is recommended
either
a sheer or non-patin
terned material. Stick an extra
pair in your purse or briefcase in
case of any runs.
Women should also keep
their jewelry tactful. Remember,
it is easy to express your personality without becoming overly
distracting.
Try to avoid dangly earrings
and wear no more than one ring

per hand.
Hair should be styled tastefully. If your hair is longer then
shoulder length, it may be best
to pull it back in a neat bun to
keep it from falling in your face.
Despite their immense rise to
popularity, flip flops are not
acceptable footware attire.
Close-heeled shoes with
medium heels may not be as
comfortable as flip flops, but
they show professionalism.
It is also important to make
sure the shoes coordinate color
wise with the rest ofthe outfit.
Hannah Thompson is a Peer
Career Facilitator for Career
Services and believes that if she
was conducting a job search she
would take appearances into
consideration.
"If it came down to two candidates with equal qualifications.
I would probably
choose the person with the best
appearance, because a lot of the
time the better dressed and well
groomed a person is. the more
seriously they are taking the job
interview," the sophomore said.
A lack of money cannot be
the reasoning for why students
can't afford the afore mentioned
wardrobe. Most ofthe items can
be purchased at Wal-Mart or a
department store, such as
Boscov's, at an affordable price.
Having the correct outfit for
interviews is an investment for
your future.

Lawsuits delay stem cell funding

Radio media regains
'unpatriotic* stance
Andy Jones

Daily Evergreen
(Washington State I

.)

PULLMAN. Wash. - The
ombudsman for National Public
Radio spoke about the effects
of Hurricane Katrina on the
American media.
Jeffrey Dvorkin. the public
representative for NPR. spoke
in the Communication Addition
auditorium about journalistic
freedoms in the wake of disaster.

"Journalists arc finding their
way into being critics ofpower
that is true to the traditions of
American journalism," Dvorkin
said.
Dvorkin, a Canadian-born.
American citizen, has worked
at NPR since 1997. In 2000. he
became the first ombudsman at
any broadcasting station.
The 1930s and 1940s were
a time when journalism was at
its purest; without a script.
Dvorkin said. Journalists such
as Edward R. Murrow had the
power to challenge authorities
and promote opinions that challenged the status quo.
After Sept. ll.it was
deemed unpatriotic for anyone
to speak against the government, he said. Journalists were
forced to support President
Bush's war on terrorism unconDvorkin said Hurricane
Katrina exposed the failure of
Bush's FEMA organization.
Journalists are suddenly free to
question authority from all
angles with events such as the
Libby Indictment, the failed
Miers nomination and growing
unease about the Iraqi War, he
said.
"Fairness and balance isn't
the goal ofjournalism, telling
the truth is," he said. "Fairness
and balance are the means to

the demise ofthe media's voice.
In the late 1980s, a large
emphasis was placed on making media corporations profitable, he said. Media corporations got rid ofproducers and
editors and invested in technology that de-ski lied the workforce to make money.
With the end of the Cold
War, news organizations began
to eliminate foreign news
bureaus, he said. Organizations
were forced to appeal to what
was popular, not what was
important.
"Journalism must have values in a civic sense, higher than
its stock and shareholder." he
said.
Dvorkin cites the O.J.
Simpson trial as a turning point
in the history of the media.
"The trial had celebrities,
cameras in court, dramatic and
cheap stories to do, it was the
beginning ofreality television."
he said.
Since 1997, the number of
radio stations in American has
dropped from 10,000 to 6.800,
he said. Fewer reporters lead to
fewer opinions, which lead to
more profits and a weaker public service.
"1 deeply believe in the tradition of public service journalism," Dvorkin said. "We have
an obligation to treat our listeners as citizens first and listeners
second."
The success of NPR is due
to it's balanced yet credible
approach to journalism, he said.
He encourages people to be
critical ofthe media and to support other credible sources such
as NPR.
"There is an obligation on
the part of the pubic to keep
journalists on track," he said.
"The more pressure the people
put on the media to have higher
demands, the better off they'll
be."

There's really not much you
can tell someone who just had
their heart broken if you want to
make them feel better. As their
friend, it'sreally hard to think of
things to say because yes,
you've been there before, never
really knowing how you got
yourself so down or even how
you got yourself out of it that
last time.
Starlet Audrey Hepburn
said. "I've always had very
close friends that I could call up
in the middle ofthe night." and 1
have always wanted to be one of
those friends. Someone who
will listen.
When a friend is upset, I
struggle for the right words or a
comforting thought, but nothing
ever makes it right. For this, I
admire my parents because even
though we have our disagreements, whenever I'm down or
sad, they seem to just know
what to say or do to make it all
okay again. Maybe that allknowing quality is something
you get when you grow up. It's
knowing that you can look back
now and tell the high school version of yourself that everything
all works out in the end.
Being an emotional band-aid
for my friends is one thing 1
used to be pretty good at. I'll
come up with just the right joke
to make them at least crack a
smile, but sometimes I feel like I
just don't have that power any
more.
There's enough going on in

Matthew McKeague

my own life, where it's almost
like there is no time to worry
about others. I regret that
because I used to be such a people-oriented person, but 1 find
that I've changed. After taking
Interpersonal Communications,
1 have self-identified myselfas a
person who fits into the thinker
category, although I am close to
being a feeler. I like to listen and
think things through rather than
jumping right in.
In the past few months I
have realized that while I do
care about others, I now care
more about myself first. I know
it might be considered rude or
selfish, so go ahead and stereotype me as the typical only child
that you think I am. I, however,
am not at all who you might
think.
I'm independent, yes. I
know what I want. yes. I'm also
human, and I'm doing the best
that 1 can. I don't make false
claims or make promises that I
can't keep. People say and do
mean things to one another.
There's no denying that. People
disappoint each other. And then,
one day, they recover. That's
about all there is to it.
The road to recovery or
learning to trust again takes
some time. For now, I'm still
searching for the perfect thing to
say to make things alright.
This is your friendly
reminder that not everyone is
out to hurt you, and it has to get
better.
Why? Because it eventually
does.

We all know what it's like to have random thoughts pop into

our heads. Sometimes those thoughts are about what kind of
food you want, sometimes they are about a relationship you

wish would develop, sometimes they arc disturbing activities
you would like to do to bothersome people, and sometimes they
are completely insane, messed up, and probably offensive.
The latter category is what Comical Considerations thrives
on.
Warning: the following may cause the Earth to revolve
around the sun instead of all planets revolving around the Earth,
bands to succeed by only looking pretty, and 100 pennies to be
the equivalent of one piece of paper.
What? Those side effects are already true? Then you havenothing to worry about. Proceed for some more comical considerations.

Nowadays even zombies want a more politically
correct name; cannibal connoisseurs.

You know why some babies are born late?
Because they don't want to give up their
comfy butt print in the placenta.

oddness, and other qualities unaccepted by the general public?

Yes, most likely.
Do I care? No. most likely not. Can penguins fly? Only if
they are shot out of a cannon. Will I ever smoke? Only if I'm on
fire. Is this series of questions leading anywhere? Of course it
wasn't.
And so concludes another article wasting trees. Come back
next week for another hodgepodge of words and some more
comical considerations.

Kristen Buonfiglio
Guest Columnist
Some ofyou out there might
have heard of a website that
actually provides skins-layouts
for AOL Instant Messenger, as
well as new smiles, different
features, etc, all for free. Well
is that site.
AIMutation is a website
where professionals make different layouts with mostly original color and design to spruce up
the default layout ofAIM.
In order to use AIMutation
on AIM, you need to download
it first from the website with
AIM turned off during installation. After that is done, you can
download as many skins as one
chooses from the website and it
will automatically add them to
the list of skins to use on AIM.
The categories of skins as well
as the amount of skins in each
category include Cartoon (12),
Colors and Shapes (30), Dark
(12), Holiday (1), Miscellaneous
(6), Operating Systems (2),
Ports (8), Sports (1), and
University (2).
There are also a variety of
plug-ins that you can choose to
use also with AIMutation as
well, such as a plug-in that will
allow users to choose a variety
of different smiley choices over
the default yellow ones.
There is also a message
board attached to the website
where users can get information
about AIMutation as well as chat
with other users and developers

ofthe product. You need to sign
up to use the message board but
it is free to join. You do not
need to sign up to download
AIMutation or get skins.
Just the fact that this website
is free and that it provides new
skins and layouts for AIM would
make people want to use it
right? Well that was what drew
me to the website anyway, but
notice the C- grade I give it.
AIMutation does have many
flaws.
The website itself is filled
with pop-ups and ads. Just now
I tried to get onto the site so I
could get some information on
it, and it shut down my browser
because of all the pop-ups and
ads.
Another is that it has been
almost a year since the last
update to the AIMutation program. The website is updated
daily but not the program, which
would explain why AIMutation
has asked users to stop asking
when the next version is coming
out.
The current version is 1.3.2.
released November 30, 2004.
According to the website, the
developers are currently working on two new versions, 1.4.0,
and 2.0 Public Alpha 1. There is
a chart on the main page of the
website that shows the status of
the two versions, and although
1.4.0 hasn't been updated in the
last year, 2.0 Public Alpha 1 was
last updated the first of this
month.

According to the developers,
with aim.com releasing new versions of AIM every few months,
it makes it hard to update
AIMutation to a version that is
compatible with the most current version of AIM. While this
in my opinion, when the developers have to
post an
"AIMutation is not dead." one
begins to wonder what is taking
so long for just an update.
From my point of view,
fewer and fewer skins are being
made by developers and
uploaded into the database as
well, and some of the plug-ins
are beginning to not work anymore for some users.
Not only that, but for version
1.3.2, users have to install a previous version of AIM in order
for AIMutation to be used correctly. The current version of
AIM is not compatible with

Ken Foster encounters more oddities
in New Orlean's return to normalcy
Night Court
Last night there was another
Bywater/Marigny community
meeting with Jackie Clarkson
and reps from the police force,
the utilities, and Army Corps of
Engineers, etc. While last week
there were 60 in attendance, last
night about five hundred
showed up—and it was another
embarrassing display of narcissism on the part of the community.
While the local officials
tried to explain how extensive
the damage is to the infrastructure of the city and how the
individual neighborhoods are
connected to each other and
what work needs to be done to
safely restore service, angry
"concerned" residents stood on
chairs shrieking obscenities and
crying like babies about their
was no
different than any others.
For about 90 minutes they
made it nearly impossible for
any information to be shared,
and then one by one, having
gotten the negative attention
they were seeking, they stormed
out ofthe meeting.
No one had anything to
offer. No one volunteered to
help. One of the few suggestions to come from the crowd
was that all garbage could be
dumped in the "empty lot"
between Piety and Desire-the
park in my neighborhood. I
objected, of course.
Worst of all was Harry
Anderson of the old sitcom
"Night Court." Harry has been
running community meetings in
the French Quarter, and came to
the Marigny to accuse Clarkson
ofnever showing up.
He interrupted the police to
shout at her. She explained that

the one time she had been invited to his meeting she was
already booked for another
meeting. She had asked him to
give her a date in advance. He
never did. At that Harry and his
blond assistant stormed out,
proving once again that itreally
is all about HIM. And we should
never forget that.
Later, at Mimi's, I overheard
one of the most obnoxious
woman at the meeting telling a
delusional story about how the
crowd had applauded her when
she left the meeting. The truth is
that by that time no one was
even paying attention.
The evictions begin
I was walking Sula down
Royal Street today and we met a
couple standing outside their
house-a house I immediately
remembered from a walk earlier
in the week, when a crew of out
of town laborers were throwing
every possession out onto the
street.
This wasa day BEFORE the
official eviction day, and the
amount of stuff they were
throwing onto the pavement
made me think that it was likely
a house people were planning to
return to. Now I was standing
with these tenants who had just
minutes earlier arrived home
ready to rebuild their lives and
the city itself. There were only a
few damaged books and some
trash remaining.
They told me that they had
left a note for their landlord,
who had never returned their
calls before the storm, so they
had barracaded the windows
and doors on their own. While I
was with them, they tried calling the man-he immediately
hung up the phone on them.
Like many people they had

been waiting for basic things
like utilities to be confirmed
before they returned to live here
again. Now they are calling on
friends to see if anyone can
offer a place to stay.
Meanwhile, the half a double across the street from me is
available. Two weeks ago it was
renting for $900. Last week
they raised it to $2000. There
have been no takers, so it's
down to $ 1500 today.
Be careful where you point

Saturday night my power
went off. It didn't just go off in a
traditional
post-catastrophe
way. The lights dimmed down
to almost nothing, then periodically flashed on like a strobe. It
was Halloween weekend. It was
New Orleans. And when I
looked out the window it
seemed that I was the only
house on the block that was
having any problem. I called the
landlord, who was out somewhere and promised to come by,
then called back to say that several of his friends were having
the same problem—so it wasn't
just my house. I tried turning
the lights out, but the power
buttons on the appliances were
still blinking at me. and the
sound ofthe refrigerator surging
kept me up most ofthe night.
On Sunday I discovered the
trouble: Someone had launched

Two of the ragged International flags barely resemble flags after being
weathered from the power of Mother Nature.
Kelly McCoomb
Staff Reporter
Time and weather has turned
the international flags around
campus into torn, ragged, pieces
ofcloth blowing in the breeze.
Lock Haven University has
had flags posted around campus
intending to show support ofthe
international programs it offers
to students, but the flags have
siowy been deteriorating.
Maintence has been waiting
for the /ntemationaJ Office to
make a work request to keep up
the flags' appearance.
"The International Office
should buy some new flags
because they represent countries
all over the world where all the
international students are from,"

said XinRan Li. a second year
exchange student from Tianjin,
China.
"I believe students from all
over the world would like to sec
respect from the school, especially when they just arrive in a
new environment," she said.
Mrs. Gwendolyn Perrin. secretary for the International
Office stated that the flags
would be changed when maintenance is able to change them.
The Internationa/ Office has
previously ordered various flags
five times in the past seven
years. The last order was this
past spring.
The flags range in price;
The Japanese flag can cost
about S16 and a more detailed
flag can cost up to about $40.
There are 28 different

national flags and three to four
copies of each around the campus. All 28 national flags, representing their respective countries, have a connection to Lock
Haven University.
Replacing flags is made
more difficult because they are
on top ofthe high light poles.
"The school shouldn't do
away with them [the flags], but
maybe take them down in the
winter,"
said
Abigail
McCullough, junior and front

worker
the
for
International Office. "Also,
maybe have them more in one

Assistant
Director

assured students that a new
order was put in and 15 flags
will be replaced this weekend.

There is a reason why very few people follow the NBA these days; the sport of basketball is no longer played in NBAarenas.

We no longer see the teamwork and passing skills that were the foundations for the origin of the game. The sport was invented to

environment that discouraged rough play and
aggression, but emphasized skill and finesse.
The game is no longer played with those

The Philadelphia Eagles lost 17-10 on
Sunday night to NFC East division rival
Washington, but there wasa much bigger loss
on Eagles fans as their team fell to last place in
the division.
The Eaglesplayed the Sunday night showdown with the Redskins without Terrell
Owens, because he had been suspended for
making comments detrimental to the team.
Upset that the team did not make a big
enough deal over his 100thtouchdown receiving, Owens lashed out on the organization.
For his actions, Owens was suspended for
the next three games and following a total four
game suspension the Eagles plan to deactivate
him.
Good decision, but they should have done
it sooner.
He has no loyalty to the organization and
anybody who openly rips his teammates has
no place playing alongside them.
He is more worried about a celebration for
scoringa touchdown.
Come on.
You're a professional football player, it is
your job to score touchdowns.
Yes, 100 touchdowns is a nice achieve-

classrather than publicly ripping your team.
Yesterday, Owens apologized for his
actions to the organization, the owners, and his
teammates, Donovan McNabb, and Andy
Reid.
What now?
Sorry, Owens, but is too late for an apology. The damage has been doneand your ties
with the Eagles have been cut.
It was a desperate act, a couple days too
late for Owens.
I am sure someone will take a chance on
the guy. I mean, ifhe cankeep his mouth shut
and play football, Owens is ina rare league on
the field. But in my opinion he is justtoo much
ofa liability.
I don't see anybody paying him the money
he thinks he is worth. Why would they risk it
after this?
Owens says that this is painful and that
football ishis passion.
I guess he will have some time to think
about all of mis as his former teammates look
to put it behind them and battle to regain their
dominance on the NFC.

On Oct. 31, the Crowbar
hosted a concert that gave
off an aura of perfection as
Paramore, Plain White T's
and Straylight Run literally
took the air out of the audience's lungs as everyone in
attendance stood in awe with
jaws sunk to the floor and
eyes glazed over at the sight
of the musical exhibitions.
Each band brought their
own unique flare to the
stage, with Paramore leading the pack. The band, led
by petite singer Hayley
Williams, who despite her
small stature has a power-

house voice, could capture
even the most obnoxious
guy or girl in the audience.
In fact she actually did just
that, that night. Her presence on stage caught the
attention of everyone, and it
was not just because she was
dressed in an afro wig and
mouse nose.
Paramore had fun with
their set. Dressed in costumes for the Halloween festivities taking place, they

Guest Writer
Comedians Kerri Louise
and Tom Cotter performed at
Price Auditorium this past
Friday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m.
£Z The event was sponsored by
Haven Activities Council
Student
*(HAC)
and
Cooperative Council (SCC).
HAC Coordinator, Megan
McCarthy, said that most comedians who have been invited to
visit LHU are very laid back
and focus on jokes that the students will like. Kerri and Tom
proved to be just that and,
because ofthis, the event was a
success.
"If people like comedy
and they're stressed with end
of the semester things, A
Night of Comedy [would have
been] a good way to laugh and
relieve stress," said Megan.
Kerri and Tom, who have
been married for three years
and are parents of twin boys,
are both part of BCA
Entertainment Incorporation.
Information about them is
listed
on
the website
www.barbaracoppersmith.co

m.
As stated on the website,
"Kerri is the only woman in
five years to reach the semifinals of the San Francisco
Comedy Competition."
She has appeared on television shows such as NBC's
Access Hollywood, the Today
Show and was a co-host of the
Three Stooges Marathon.
She was also featured on
20/20 and New Joke City.
"Tom is the colleges'
answer to fun. They repeatedly ask for his high energy,
rapid-fire style of comedy,"
stated the website.
He won the 15th Annual
Seattle International StandUp Comedy Competition.
Also, he has performed on
MTV, VHI, A&E, NBC, The
Disney Channel, and Comedy
Central, and was featured on
The Tonight Show.
"It [was] a nice way to
enjoy time with friends," said
Megan.
Kerri and Tom performed
for roughly an hour and a
half. All who attended got
the utmost pleasure from the
comedians' humor.
From drunken college
nights to being parents of
twins, Kerri and Tom's jokes
seemed to hit home with the

Imagine acting on stage in
front of a packed house, camping in the wilderness, orplaying
disc jockey on a Friday night.
These are only a few things that
any college student at LHU
would have the opportunity to
do just by joining one of the
many clubs offered.
If you're new to the school
and looking for ways to make
friends fast, joining a club is the
perfect way to go.
Incoming freshmen might
not even be aware that many of
the clubs on campus exist.
Eventually, signs are posted on
bulletin boards and giant posters
with multi-colored writing made
to capture attention are plastered
on the brick walls of buildings
all over campus.
The only way to know which
clubs are right for you is to
check them out for yourself.
People join clubs to meet
new people, help others, gain
experience, or just for something to do outside the classroom.
Here are four clubs out of
many offered that anyone interested may participate in and
even meet a few new friends or
learn something new.
Outing Club. During any
particular semester at college,
life never seems to slow down.
Piles of homework, exams, and
other responsibilities are constantly being thrown in your
direction. One club's members
strive to relieve the stress of
school.
The Outing club is made for
anyone who enjoys the adventures awaiting them outdoors.
"The Outing club is a great
way to meet new people as a
freshman and is also a great way
to experience the outdoors like
camping, hiking, backpacking,
horseback riding, kayaking, biking, caving and more," said
Valerie Martin, who has been
participating in the Outing club
since she came to LHU in 2003.
One ofValerie's favorite fea-

tures and in her opinion the best
thing about the club is the fact
that there are outings every
weekend ofthe semester.
"We have gone camping and
hiking at Ricketts Glenn State
Park and also at more local state
parks like Hyner Run and Little
Pine." said Valerie, a senior
Recreation Management major
from Dallas, Pa. "The club gives
everyone a chance to get away
from studying and being on

campus."
The Outing Club satisfies
both meeting new people and
getting your mind off of homework at least for a little while.
You might even leam something
new about the outdoors as well.
Dangerously Improv. If
you've ever been scared to death
or even just nervous while
speaking in front of a group and
you want to change that, then
this next club is for you.
Dangerously Improv came
into existence five years ago
when David Ferry, a theatre
major, and his friends were
interested in learning about different types of theatre such as
sketch comedy and improvisation.
Dave and his friends
that
University
requested
Players, the theatre club on campus, sponsor an improv group
and thus, Dangerously Improv
was born.
"Dangerously Improv is not
just for theatre majors. Several
other students from other majors
are very active with the improv
group," said Dennis Berfield, a
co-captain of the group. "It
looks great on a resume that you
have training in improvisation."
Dennis says that some ofthe
benefits of becoming a part of
this group are the improvisational training, becoming more
comfortable in front of an audience, gaining valuable knowledge about acting in general, a
great atmosphere to relax and be
creative with your friends, and
students
helping
students
improve their theatre skills.

school and want to get back into

the habit and plan on auditioning for theatre productions then
this is the club that you should
consider joining," said Dennis, a
Communications studies and
Theatre major.
Dangerously Improv meets
every Thursday and Sunday in
Sloan 321 at 5 p.m. and anyone
who enjoys theatre or even a
good laugh should stop by.
Radio Club. Listening to
music is one of the most prevalent things that people have in
common. The only difference is
the kind of music each person
enjoys most, whether it is rock,
pop, classical, jazz, or the latest
trend in music.
The Radio Club gives anyone who chooses to join a
chance to broadcast their choice
in music or just discuss the latest
issues over the internet.
"I think it's good to join
Radio Club because you get to
meet new people and reach the
entire campus," said Heather

"Plus, it's a good way for aspiring deejays to get good handson experience through a media

Fine
Arts
Discussing and learning about
the arts is not just for the art
majors.
The Fine Arts society is open
to anyone with a passion for the
arts or for any student that
would like to travel to different
cities to visit art museums and
art openings.
"We have a lot offun and we
are not as uniform as other clubs
on campus." said Maggie
Hcrrick. an art major and mem-

ber of the Arts Society for three
years.
The group sponsors many art
openings held in the Sloan
Gallery on campus, by picking
the artists to put on display.
They take pride in promoting
local artists as well as themselves.
They have been on field trips
to Philadelphia, Washington,
D.C., New York and elsewhere
and hope to plan many more in
the future.
The most recent trip was
held in October, in which they
spent the day in New York City.
Clubs are a wonderful way
to get out and do something
other than strictly school work.
They have the potential to help
relieve stress and let you have
some fun every once in a while.
So there is no need to worry
about making new friends. All
you need to do is join a club or
two and go from there. You will
be having fun and meeting people in no time.

Music, philosophy professors radiate energy
Matthew McKeague
News Editor

With websites sprouting up all over the Internet
about rating professors' helpfulness, easiness, clarity,
and characteristics, college students have a lot of
information available about the professors they
choose to learn from.
Lock Haven University students are no different
by wanting to know who the excellent, bad, and
mediocre professors are on campus. Provided below
-are the final two of the four most recommended professors to take classes with.
The following is in no particular order, and just
:because instructors are on this list doesn't mean
the easiest educators, but the most rewarding
enjoyable.
x>r

; Dr. Ronald Miller. Best
known for his melodic, baritone, singing voice and musicrelated classes. Dr. Miller has
quite a lot of choir experience.
He's been treating students to
his amusing jokes, friendly
banter, and professional vocal
training for many years and
has done so in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and West Virginia. His
talent is recognized nationwide because he's frequently
requested to be a guest conductor and has been elected
into "Who's Who Among
America's Teachers."
The joyous Dr. Miller
bounces into the room with his
always-smiling face covered
with a thick forest of emerging
hair. As conductor, his energy
explodes as he acts like a wise
wizard waving his hands and
conjuring the magical, melodjc, force known as beautiful
singing. People watching can

professionals. While teaching,
he takes time and effort to
ensure members of the choir
are hitting the right pitches
and he reviews all notes in
every song multiple times to
make certain the choir will
blow the crowd away.
Senior English major Sarah
Morris said that she likes Dr.
Miller because she feels like
he sincerely cares about his
students.
"I think he is appealing to a
lot of students because he is
funny and outgoing, but also
serious and helpful at the same
time," Sarah said.
Sarah's life has been personally touched by Dr. Miller
because he helped plan a special event during a trip she and
her vocal group, Cantori, went
on recently.
"I had the pleasure of
going to England, Scotland,
Wales, and Ireland with
Professor Miller and Cantori. 1
never would have gotten to go
to those places if he wasn't
such a great leader," Sarah
said, "He also helped my

Dr. Howard Congdon. He
may be best known for his
thought-provoking philosophy
classes, but he's also written
books, flown planes around
the United States and Canada,
and gone scuba diving.
His many modern interests
make him a very relatable professor, who is always telling
jokes and confusing the minds
of college students with questions on life. Those students
wanting classes where brainwork is not required should
steer clear of Congdon, but
those up for classes that will
forever change the way they
think should look into the
complexities of Congdonesque philosophy.

sips from the same brownstained coffee mug.
His
white-frosted hair and eyebrows move as they were separate entities from his body as
he fires off humorous philosophical statements more like
a standup comedian rather
than a professor.
While getting enjoyment
from making students question
every piece of knowledge they
thought they knew, he smirks
and smiles as a child would on
Christmas when receiving a
new toy. Making sure that his
classes do not only consist of
philosophy from the past, Dr.
Congdon delivers hilarious
stories dealing with making
his son think he's God by
doing tricks in an airplane, his
bolts out of the blue that he
refers to as 'boobs' by
Congdon, and eccentric and
disturbing ways that ancient
philosophers died.

Dr. JfawarcCCangdbn
dent Ben Fanning said he likes
Dr. Congdon because of his
self-labeled, arrogant flamboyance, constant comical
comments, and funny, laid
back, teaching style.
"He is funny and has no
problem joking around with
his students
if a kid asks
him a question in class and he
doesn't know the answer to,
then he acts like he is about to
tell you something and then he
says 'shut up,'" Ben said, "He
has shared personal stories of
his life as a student which
makes him a teacher that students can relate with easily."
Ben said he also likes Dr.
Congdon because the classes
actually make his brain work
hard, and that in class he has
to pay complete attention so
he won't miss any pertinent
information.
Fans of Congdon have
even made a group on the popular student Facebook website

...

to share their adoration of this
distinctive man.
All students have had a
professor that they absolutely
adore and one they deem as a
complete nightmare, and for
most students they choose professors that offer classes that
will fit in their schedule. In
modern times students have
more power by 'shopping
around' for professors that
offer the type of class they
want.
This list of recommended

professors has hopefully provided some insight as to those
offering rewarding classes that
people can learn interesting
and imperative information in.
These educators are more than
professors that provide a grade
that will be forgotten about on
a college transcript; they are
influential mentors whose
uniqueness and helpfulness
will be remembered and a part
of us throughout our lives.

C/m// Howard/Eagle Eye

Dennis Berfield, a soldier, hovers over Jackie Baker, who plays Andromache, during a scene Of
"Trojan Women." The play, directed by Gino Chelakis, continues Nov. 10, 11 and 12 at 8 p.m.

Haunted by visions ofbrothers and sisters viciously murdered in the sweet land that is
called home. Terrorized by
neighbors and enslaved by villains that should be called
"friend." Raped of peace and
harmony that should coexist on
this Earth. Bound by time and a
hurtful vengeance.
All of this flies through the
minds of scared and lonely
Trojan women after the defeat
of the Greeks. All of this hinders the ability of the women
and children to move forward
once the men have been captured and killed. All of this
encompasses the mindset ofthe
actors in the play "Trojan
Women" at Sloan Theatre. They
truly are all alone.
In search of a play to produce this fall semester, Gino
Chelakis, Director and Assistant
Professor of the Performing
Arts, took a good hard look at
what was available to him.
The first thought that came
to his mind was the fact that
the majority of theatre majors
at the university are women.
His second thought was about
war and crisis, because it is
something that America today
is so accustomed to, especially
right now. Also, Chelakis
wanted to work with a classic
piece, something that has
stood the test of time and had
superiority.
In the end,
"Trojan Women" fit the bill.
"We are haunted by the

Trojan War," says Dr.
Woodworth,
Christine
of
Producer
Dramaturge and
Audience Development for
The University Players and
Visiting Assistant Professor of
the Performing Arts. "And we
wonder, what happened to the
women?"
The only problem with the
selection was which version of
the play was going to be used.
In order to compensate for all
of the adaptations, Chelakis
took a different approach by
collaborating many ofthe versions, including those of
Seneca,
Euripides,
and
Berlioz.
The next step, and maybe
the hardest for Chelakis, was
deciding how to tell a tale that
few students knew.
"Assuming [the students]
know about the horse that was
a present to the Trojans by the
Greeks, I needed to add a
beginning, middle, and end to
make it understandable,"
Chelakis said.
By using his quoted philosophy of "material feminism," Chelakis took unrepresented voices and recuperated
them to fit his style.
"I don't want to achieve
[Aristotle's] catharsis. I want
to have the audience engage in
anger and horror without purging it afterwards," Chelakis
said.
"If you hear the testimony,
knowledge is created... through
horrifying and recuperative
