Cell phones being highly taxed

LHU could become a
"laptop university"
Scott Kulah
Staff Reporter

'^ ^J^ | | ^
Alex Hayesl Eagle Eye

It seems the future of Lock
Haven may bring major
advancements in technology.
Lock Haven University is currently considering a program
that potentially could put laptops in the hands of every student.
The idea first hit the drawing board after being presented
to President Dr. Keith Miller at
a recent conference. After
some research. Miller found it
fit neatly into the technology
initiative included in Lock
Haven's strategic plan.
According
to Interim
Provost Dr. Zakir Hossain. "He
found a perfect match."
The Student Technology
Enhancement Program (STEP)
is being designed to help students develop technological
skills and better prepare them
for employment, according
Lock
Haven
University
Director of Public Relations
Scott Eldridge.
"One of the biggest things
to
is help our students develop
a comfort level with technology by the time they reach the

job market," he said. "What
better place to develop a comfort level ...than an educational
environment, where you have
an opportunity to grow intellectually as well as with computer
skills."
"We're in a technological
age where it isn't a luxury to
learn computer skills, it's a
necessity," he added.
"Technology knowledge is
extremely crucial for employment," Hossain agreed. "If
word gets out that Lock Haven
is a lap-top university, it gives a
different flavor to our graduates."
The program is currently
being reviewed by a 10-person
"task-force," consisting of both
members of the faculty and the
student body.
The task-force is
divided into three teams: one
researching the technological
benefits of the plan, another
exploring the possibilities of
how the program could be used
as a teaching and learning tool,
and the last exploring the program's financial implications.

Senator Robert Wonderling
of the 24th district is currently
working to push Senate Bill 1156
through legislature in order to
put a stop to the onerous tax.
Simultaneously, Representative
Kelly Lewis is also working on
getting a bill (House Bill 2454)
passed to end the tax. The movement for repeal is a bipartisan
one that is fueled by those who
want to see economic development increase within the state.
Such is said to be impossible as

Students react to re-election of President Bush
Lisa kiwak
Staff Reporter
More than 21 million 18- to
30-year-olds voted in the 2004
Presidential Election, according
to CBS News.
This was the highest number
in more than a decade, with 52
percent of eligible voters in this
age bracket voting, compared to
only 42 percent in the 2000
election. In key battleground
states like Ohio and Florida, one
in every five voters was under
the age of 30. according to CBS.
"I think so many people our
age voted because we were real-

ly affected by 9/11," said senior
Ryan Thayer. "Now that we
have experienced that, and had
relatives affected by that, it
makes us want to be more
involved."
Other students credited the
amount ofpeople our age voting
to the exposure this election
received. Whether that exposure came from television networks like BET, or from music
artists organizing benefit concerts like, the Vote for Change
Tour.

"Cell Phones" from A1
While none of the LHU students that were asked about the
tax knew anything of it, nearly
all were irate once they were
informed. Students that do pay
their own bills were especially
offended.
"That's why I work," said
freshman Taylor Gary, "to pay
all ofmy bills. I think it's ridiculous that they are taking from
me more money than they
need." The fact that these students were never aware of this
double tax and that there seems
to be no clear reason as to why it
was put into effect adds to the
sting.
Stackhouse,
Kimberly
another freshman, was alarmed
to learn of the surplus made on
the 5% tax. "It [the money]
should be coming back to me if
it's not going anywhere."
There is one thing that

Senator Corman wanted Lock
Haven students to know. All of
us can make a difference in
regard to this tax. Lock Haven
student Jared Loss, once
informed, was very enthusiastic
about finding a way to protest
the bill. "I'd. definitely like to
know more about this," he told
me.

The men and women in
Congress that want to see the
wireless tax bill repealed can
always use the help of the public. A website was designed to
inform consumers ofthe cellular
tax, and give everyone the
opportunity to voice their opinion to their local representative.
Senator Corman encourages all
students and concerned persons
to do just that. If you would like

Students decide on spring performance choices
Daniella DeLuca
Staff Editor
Ihe Black Eyed Peas and
Maroon 5 are the top two possible bands for the annual spring
concert. These results are
according to the polls taken at
lunchtime by the HAC concert
committee as reported at
Wednesday's SCC meeting.
Since it is a preliminary survey,
however, it is not known for sure
which band or musical artist on
the list will be available for a
performance in the late spring
semester.
Students are given the choice
this year whether or not they
would prefer a concert or a
stand-up comedian. Voters can
choose up to five bands or comedians ranking them on a scale of
one to five in order of importance with one being the most
desired. The majority of those
polled so far have chosen a
genre under the rock concert
umbrella, rock and roll, punk, or
alternative.
There is no guarantee

though, that the band or comedian who gets the most votes will
be the one to stage their show in
Thomas Field House in the
spring. Ballots are tallied as they
are received, and a list is generated according to Senator
Dominick DiSalvo. Then, the
performers are called and invited to play at LHU. Deciding factors as to whether they will play
or not include where they are
currently in their tour, how much
money they are asking for to
perform, and whether or not they
would like to come to a university setting versus some other
well-known venue.
Senator Delphonzo Sellers
suggested more of a variety of
bauds for more diversity on
campus such as an R&B. hiphop >r rap group. Stating that the
students need more options, he
also suggested an alternate idea
of having six or seven up-andcoming groups or artists instead
ofjust one main one.

Speaker feels
spirituality
key in college

Trick shot master returns to LHU
:

(U-WIRE)

B^______k

PHILADE
Associate Director of the
University of Pennsylvania
Women's Center Gloria Gay
says that between the exams
and parties, college needs to
ground and instill values in students.
"This isn't playtime," Gay
said to members of the
Religious Life Liaison group in
an intimate setting Monday
night. "This is a serious reconstruction period when you learn
about yourself."
The liaisons work with the
college houses and the Office of
the Chaplain to develop an
interfaith and ecumenical religious presence and create a
greater sense of religious community campuswide.
But Gay who is also an
instructor at the School of
Social Work has noticed that
students at Penn these days
appear to be in a "race for life."
"I don't feel like the student
is center anymore," she said. "It
feels like a corporation."
Gay's response is rooted in
her beliefs.
"Spirituality is first," she
said. "You can fall back on it: it
holds you up."
"I prefer 'spirituality,'" Gay
added as she addressed the
members. "It's a lot broader:
people don't necessarily identify with 'religious.'"
Gay was brought in by the
Office of the Chaplain to relate
how her role and experiences on
campus encompass her decisions and values.
"I've found that if you're
spiritual, you take risks, venture
out," Gay said. "Students sometimes don't even realize they're
searching for spirituality; they
just want to be grounded."

College sleeping patterns have students
hitting pillows instead of books
Daniella De Luca
Opinion Editor
Sometime around 6:30 a.m.
the sun rises on the east coast,
and the struggle for just "five
more minutes" of sleep begins.
With Daylight Savings Time
messing up everyone's mental
alarm clocks, by the time 4 p.m.
rolls around, it feels like it
should be bedtime. Despite the
darkness closing in at early
hours and the cold weather lurking just around the corner, students, well most of them anyway, continue their treks to
class with a purpose. Some
arrive a few minutes late just to
catch their proper amount of
"z's." Others prefer to sleep in,
rather than study.
What has most college students hitting the pillows instead
• of the books are massive
amounts of stress and pressure
from classes, work, family and
other social issues. All these
things, however, arc part of life,
and all must be balanced in
order to achieve a healthy
lifestyle. You can't let these
things overwhelm you. Don't
think that the only way to deal
u with these issues is sleeping.
I You'll only start yourself on a
vicious cycle every morning of
falling asleep, hitting the snooze
button on your alarm clock once
it sounds and rolling over.
Sleep is one of the most

THjE

common ways in which people
cope with stress or negative
affects on their lives. It's easy to
get stuck in a rut or a habit of
irregular sleeping patterns while
in college. For example, scheduling all afternoon classes
might not be the best idea
unless you can motivate yourself to get up at a reasonable
hour prior to the classes that
you are taking to review notes
or complete any assignments
that you might not have finished
the night before.
Staying up late, as obvious
as it might sound, also contributes to the number of" those
who tend to snore in class. If it's
cramming for a test the night
before (never a good idea) or
playing videogames until 3:00
a.m., know when to start winding down for the evening. Try
to get at least eight hours of
sleep just for your body's sake.
When you're awake, you'll learn
more. And. the more you know,
the better job you will get later
on. Scary, isn't it?
Often, I've heard people say
that there are not enough hours
in the day to accomplish everything that needs to be done. This
is where you must budget your
time. What's more important
here: being well-rested to begin
your day or running on empty to
the point of exhaustion? Go to
sleep an hour earlier than you

difference will be remarkable.
Justremember to set your alarm
and get up at the time you designate for yourself. It's a little
thing called motivation, and we
all should invest in it.
For some sleep-deprived
students, they have to work
more than one job in addition to
school in order to earn money to
pay for tuition, books, pay back
student loans, unexpected accidents, insurance or just to cover
costs of day-to-day living.
Everyone is in a different financial situation and has different
ways of managing their schedules. It is up to the individual as
to how to budget it in the most
beneficial way.
In the real world, there are
deadlines without extensions. If
you arc late to your job or miss
a meeting because you overslept, you can't always redeem
yourself, and may ultimately
lose everything you worked for
in college; that is to say if you
ever worked in the first place.
For some people, it's hard to
adjust to the college lifestyle
with parents not constantly
around telling them what to do
and what not to do. A certain
freedom is granted, and if
abused, they must suffer the
consequences, mainly failing
classes and possibly not graduating on time or at all.

In the past few months. 1
have been asked many times in
economics tutoring and in political discussions with friends if
there is really a recovery. We
see it on the news all the time,
economists speaking to the general public about concepts they
likely don't fully comprehend,
and usually it is responded to
with general skepticism. This
problem is. from my understanding, most detrimental in the
event that people seem to lose
faith in the government when
economists report on an event
that they can't really see the
implications of. I've been in
many discussions in which people have asked me things like,
"is there really a recovery in
America now?" or, "if there really is a recovery why is there not
an instant rush to hire by companies in my area?" This results in
people questioning the policies
undergone by the government
and the Federal Reserve System,
so I've decided to put forth this
article in an effort to if not close
some ofthe gaps, then simply to
confuse people more.
One ofthe many reasons for
the inability of the public to see
the recovery is that many of
these effects in the economy are
in some way hidden to the poor.
For one example, when Bush

do well though, in school and
life. I know a professor who has
an interesting motto on failure.
He says it is not an option, and
it is only one if you make it that
way. "You have to use your
resources. Don't just sit there
and cry," he said on one of the
first day of classes. If we all
take this attitude towards whatever it is we are passionate
about, then maybe we will
begin to have a more positive
outlook on life. We can't just sit
there, or rather lay there. We
have to do what is best for ourselves and decide what will
make us happy before helping
others do the same.
So, instead of grumbling
and throwing the covers over
your face when the sun peeks

issued tax cuts in 2001, everyone that I know became skeptical when reasoning, if the economy is bad, they should give us
money so that we can buy the
goods the economy has to offer.
While this is a valid argument
when looking at an event like
deflation (the lowering of
prices) in order to raise prices
back to a reasonable level, it will
in a recovery effort most likely
make things worse; the tax cuts
were made in order to put
money, in the hands of people
who invest and thus pump cash
back into business sector expansion. This rationale befuddles
many lower income persons
who would rather ration that rich
people have enough money
already, a rational argument, but
one made out of philosophical
reasoning rather than proven
economic measures.
Another reason for the
recovery being so hard to see, as
it is with all recoveries, is continuing inflationary pressures.
When a recovery in an economy
begins, prices still remain rising,
so arguments like,"if there's a
recovery, gas prices shouldn't
increase," doesn't really hold.
These inflationary pressures
give the impression to many that
the economy is not reaching
recovery, since many have a
delusion that the economy only
has to do withjobsand prices; to
these people, however, I assure
the price of cheese curls will

continue to rise with or without
a recovery. Inflation is a natural
and generally constant state for
an economy and no matter how
much a recovery pushes us to
job creation, we will continue to
see inflation, and quite often
even more so than when the
economy is in recession,
depending on other economic
events.

On the subject of job creation, it seems to me that most
focus on the state of the economy is spent looking at the nature

of the employment rate. To dispel this misconception, in common language, a recovery deals
with the increase in total economic activity, this can or cannot affect jobs depending on
what occurs.
While during
recoveries, jobs are generally
gained back as a business need
to employ people due to the rise
in demand for goods (usually
spurred on by the lowering of
taxes or government spending) it
is not the only result of a recovery and other facets of the economy may change disproportionately to the creation of jobs.
After the attacks of 9/11, 1.7
million jobs were gained back
due to a massive recovery, but
most likely a more important
result of this recovery is the
amount of investment into businesses that was poured into the
market after the attacks, this
resulted in more machines for
businesses and production

becoming less labor intensive in
addition to hedging against a
prolonged recession. On this
wave length, the health of an
economy is not only based on
jobs but also capital good (that
machinery just mentioned), and
increases in technology. With
these changes in factors of production being predominate, the
low wage earners have a difficult time seeing recoveries as
they do not partake in shifts in
capital or technology nearly as
much as the privileged few.
Hopefully anyone who has
actually read this article will finish with some sort of appreciation for the work done by economists and realize that they
aren't just there to cover up
shortcomings of the government. There is total agreement
amongst the specialists in the
field in respect to the state ofthe
economy. Our economy is still
in a recovery and will likely
continue with or without visible
assurance to those lower income
workers who are still skeptical.

Give Weird Al's music a chance

I'm a "Weird Al" Yankovic

Don't become a statistic:
Quitters can be winners one day a year
Lindsay Johnson
Co-editor in Chief

outside supposedly makes it
an okay place to smoke up.

Light up. Breathe in. Puff
out. No, make that "butt out."
About four million people
die worldwide each year from
smoking. One in three cancerrelated deaths is attributed to
smoking. The Great American
Smokeout, organized by the
American Cancer Society
(ACS), is an annual effort to
cut down on the number of
people who could eventually
become part ofthese statistics.
This year's Great American
Smokeout is November 18,
and you're invited to participate.

The idea for the day is
quite simple: quit smoking for
24 hours. With any luck, that
24-hour-period is only a start
to the rest of your smoke-free
life. And even if you don't quit
forever starting with that one
day. maybe that one day will
help you quit someday. Think
of it as a way to test your
strength and will to be healthy.
Maybe you don't smoke,
and you think that this day
doesn't mean much to you. If
you're like most non-smokers,
though, you can sympathize
with me on this. Don't you
hate walking out of a building
here on campus and finding
someone puffing away on a
cigarette on the other side of
the door? I mean, it's one thing
to kill yourself slowly, but
please don't take me down
with you. 1 know that being

But come on. do you have to
stand right outside that door
so that I'm forced to walk
through your smoke and risk
breathing it in?
Or, if that's not reason
enough for ail you non-smokers to get involved, I bet you
any amount of money that you
know someone who does
smoke. Do you really want to
see them die prematurely, possibly experiencing a lot of
pain for a long time before
they finally lose the fight?
So if you smoke, quit for a
day. If you don't smoke, help
someone who does. Offer
encouragement, support and
rewards. Bug them till they
can't stand it anymore. Make a
game plan together. According
to the ACS's website, "those
who plan a quit attempt in
(of the
advance
Great
American Smokeout) double
the odds of staying quit forever."
And if you need more
motivation (either to quit
yourself, or to help a friend or
loved one):
-Smokers typically die 1012 years younger than nonsmokers. Way to throw your
life away.
-Smoking is the single
most preventable cause of
death in the United States.
Nuff said.
-One out of every three
smokers are estimated to
eventually die from a tobacco-

related disease. Maybe you'll
be one ofthe lucky two others.
-Over 50,000 people die
each year from secondhand
smoke in the U.S. alone.
-Cigarette smoke contains
the
radioactive
isotope
Polonium-210, as well as
hydrogen cyanide, benzene,
carbon monoxide, and arsenic.
What a line-up.
-In 1984, one tobacco
company referred to new customers as "replacement smokers." Yeah, that didn't hurt.
-Pee (ok, urine) contains
urea. Some tobacco companies add that to cigarettes.
Ewww, gross.
-Ammonia, a chemical
used in most toilet bowl cleaners, is also added to cigarettes.
-Cigarettes are the number
one cause of fire-related
deaths.
-And last, but certainly not
least, tobacco kills more
Americans than AIDS, drugs,
homicides, fires, and auto
accidents combined.

fan.
Done laughing yet? Good,
let's begin.
"Weird Al" Yankovic is a
comedy singer who is best
known for parodying popular
songs. Recently I heard two
guys talking about "Weird Al"
and the one guy said, "Oh he just
plays silly music. He's not a real
musician," and it occurred to me
that maybe a lot of people felt
this way.
You would think that with
eight Platinum records, 16 Gold
records, and 11 albums released
that "Weird Al" Yankovic would
not be considered a novelty act.
"Weird Al" deserves to be called
a successful musician but he

The lady ruggers have proven to be quite a success, winning multiple games and challenging excellent teams. They are in a Division I and create excellent competition. No experience is necessary for
to join and the girls learn to cooperate and work together and win without the assistance of a coach.
Brandie Kessler
Staff Editor

0 this past Sunday.

The LHU women's rugby
club may be one of the most
physically demanding clubs on
campus, but it can also be one
of the most rewarding if you
are willing to put in the effort.
The club was founded in
1993 and there are currently 34
members on the team.
They compete in the
Eastern Penn Rugby Union,
and finished their fall season
3rd in the EPRU. after defeating Millersville University, 34-

Finishing in one of the top
three spots in the EPRU qualifies the squad to travel to
Virginia in the spring, where
they will compete in the Mid
Atlantic Rugby Football Union,
or MARFU.
Their season kicks off on
the first weekend of school
when they play in their annual
alumni game. They practice
Monday thru Friday. Saturdays
are game days, and the team is
split into an A side, which is
considered the varsity team,
and a B side. Each side plays

their own game.
The team holds practices as
well as their games across the
river at the West Branch Fields.
They are led by two co-captains, Alicia Garber and Megan
O'Hare, and an executive
board.
Because they are essentially
led by one another, and not a
coach, the team is a strong unit,
"It is hard because we don't
have one individual who is in
charge, but it brings us closer
together too because we are all
in charge of what we do," said
club president Tanya Curtis.

The team is always looking
for new members and anyone
can play, no experience
required.
"Usually at the beginning of
a semester we teach the new
players the basics of the game,"
said team co-captain Garber. "I
had no idea of what rugby was
before I came here and
learned."
"Even after we teach them
how to play they still won't
really know how to play until
after their first game, when
they get to experience it," said
Curtis.

The only thing the team
asks is that those who come out
to play are looking to play a
contact sport that is physically
challenging just like any other
contact sport is.
"It is a rough game, but you
learn the proper technique so
that you have less of a chance
of getting hurt," Garber said.
"I love that it is challenging
mentally and physically,"
Curtis said. "I've never played
a game that's as intense as
rugby."
The team can also boast that
they are a division I rugby club,
and that they are the only team
this season to score against the
undefeated Princeton squad.
"I love that we are a
Division I team, and a lot of
teams are scared of us because
we got here on our own,"
Garber said.
Playing women's rugby here
at LHU has more to offer than a
few bumps and bruises.
The team offers the chance
to make a lot of new friends,
and to be active in the community.
In the past the team has
done community service projects such as park clean-ups,
working with the Big Brothers
Big Sisters program, and
recently they helped with the
Flood Relief Project at the
Playhouse and put in a few
hours to help set up a
Halloween party for grades K-6
at the Renovo Youth Center.
The Halloween party was
coordinated by squad member
Rebecca Atwell, and was a success. "It was a great opportunity for the club to do something
good and get involved to help
the children who came to have
a fun Halloween," Atwell said.
Although the team's fall
season is over they will be
competing in the spring and
welcome anyone who is interesting in the game to come out
and play. You can also talk to
anyone wearing rugby gear for
more information as well.

Ha ven Socc er capture conference title with 2-0 win over West Ches ter

Marissa Brunner
Sports Reporter

For eight years the Lock
Haven men's soccer team has
been striving to be the
Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference champions.
On
Saturday Nov. 6, the Bald Eagles
reached that goal and were
finally able to call themselves
number one.
The men fulfilled their hope
of winning
the
PSAC
Tournament when they defeated
West Chester University in a 2-0
victory. With their win, the Bald
Eagles earned an automatic bid
to the NCAA Division II

The Bald Eagles entered the
championship game ranked
No. 15 and with a 13-4-3 overall
record. Playing on their home
field, the men dominated both
offensively and defensively,
determined to win the title that
they have worked so hard for all

"We deserved the win on
Saturday and we played really

who was named the PSAC
Outstanding Player ofthe Game.
"We scored two great goals and
never looked like conceding."

Senior midfielder Joe Leap
was the first to score against the
Golden Rams when he shot offa
pass from Rosindale during the
first half.
The Haven struck again in
the second half when Rosindale,
who was assisted by midfielder
Chris Spinks. fired one past
West Chester's keeper.
The Golden Rams tried to
strike back against the Bald
Eagles, but were unable to break
through the Haven's strong
defensive line.
Freshman
keeper Chad Feerrar made three
saves to record his fifth shutout
ofthe season.
"It's great to get the Lock
Haven soccer program back

where it should be after we
haven't
won the PSAC
championship for eight years,"
said Rosindale. "We are on our
way to regionals now, so let's
see how far we can go."

Tournament as top seed
15-16 in a race ofthis magnitude
For the second straight year
the men's cross country team
won the NCAA East Region
title. Lock Haven had six
runners place in the top sixteen.
Senior Chris Cowan was the
highest finisher for Lock Haven,
placing second with a time of
31:46. Sophomore Ryan Blood
finished right behind Cowan
with a time of 32:02, placing
him third. Cowan was happy
with the time that he ran on the
course because of its difficulty,
but was not pleased with finishing second.
Coach
Aaron
Russell
believes that on a different day
Cowan or Blood would have
given Ryan Coon of Edinboro a
run for the title, but said each
day is a new race.
Coach Russell called junior
Billy Buckenmeyer's race "the
best I've ever seen from him."
Buckenmeyer was sixth and ran
the race in 32:32.
JoeWiegner, a senior, caught
a lot of runners in the last half
mile and had a time of 32:48,
which placed him in tenth.
Greg Davis and Shawn
Moore, who are both rookies,
had times of 32:58 and 33:01,
which placed them 15 and 16,
respectively.
"For two freshmen to go

under the pressure that has been
placed on this team is something
I never could have imagined,"
stated Coach Russell, calling
them "composed."
Sophomore Chris Robson
had a time of 33:40, placing him
28. Coach Russell thinks that
Robson ran a tremendous race,
despite having a rough first mile.
"I'm proud of Chris and the way
he's really put it together here at
the end of the season," said
Coach Russell.
Blood.
Buckenmeyer,
Cowan, Davis and Wiegner were
all rewarded with all-region
honors, a honor given to the
runners in the top 15.
With the exception of
injuries, the same seven runners
will be competing at the
National
upcoming
Championships. "The ultimate
goal for me personally is to be in
the top 15 overall. Team wise, I
believe that we can place in the
top 8 and if everyone runs their
best we might even be able to
surprise a few people and finish
in the top five," said Cowan of
his goals.
A top eight finish for the
team would earn their region an
additional bid to next year's
championship. "1 think if we

"This team's focus all year has
been on this meet, and after last
year's disappointing finish
they're definitely ready to earn
some redemption." In 2003 the
team placed 16.
The team traveled to the

advantage. "They like the course

It appears the women's
volleyball team won't have to
travel too far for the
Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference tournament.
With a three set victory
(30-23, 30-27, 30-20) over
California Friday night at the
Thomas Fieldhouse, the Bald
Eagles (8-2) locked up the top
seed in the PSAC Western
Division, meaning LHU will
host the PSAC tournament this
weekend.
Clarion, California and
IUP are all tied with a 6-4
conference mark. Cal finds
itself on the outside looking
in, dropping the tie breaker for
the final playoff spot to IUP.
Shippensburg, Millersville
and East Stroudsburg clinched
spots from the Eastern side of
the conference.
"We couldn't have asked
for a nicer gift for our seniors,"
said Head coach Tom Justice.
"We gave a really good team
effort this season."
Lock Haven over powered
CalU from the beginning,
starting in the first set with a
seven-point run.
Lillian Bortoto brought

points early with kills and with
the score at 15-12, it was
constant back and forth
movement of play that resulted
in the point for the Eagles
when the Vulcans sailed the
ball out of bounds.
The end of the set was
nothing but kills from Li.
Bortoto and Michelle Deehan
as well as an ace from Allison
Furry for the match point.
The second set started off
in comparison to the first with

Haven.
and

Allison Wade stepped up with
kills and added points while
Kelly Kostelich was consistent
in putting together 30 assists.
The end of the second set
brought a 4-0 run and the win
for the Eagles.
"Bortoto. Li and Inga were
very effective both in attacking
and blocking and both of our
setters did a good job at
running the offense." said
Justice. "Even when we
struggled the team pulled
together and stayed focused."

The women's swim team
swam fast and furious this past
Saturday, driving themselves to
a hard earned victory over
Mansfield University, 102-89.
Lock Haven is now 8th in the
nation in the most recent
Division II poll.
This win marked another
great victory for the team,
starting off their season on the
right track. They are on the road
to success, and their hard work

good to see everyone do well in
the events that they do not
normally swim."
Among the many victories
this weekend, also placing first
in events were Tatiana
Patakyova and Katie Grieneisen.
Danielle Kreiger made PSAC

Garlick, head coach, said. "We
are looking to see how we do.
What I want for them is just to
enjoy themselves and their time
in Maryland."
Although there will not be a
meet this coming Saturday, the
swim team is going to be
practicing hard in order to do
well at the invitational. The
women have said that they are
excited about going to Maryland
and hope to come away with a
feeling ofaccomplishment.

sounded like she had four
knuckles shoved in each nostril."
Senior Tom Donovan played
the role of judge Randy Jackson
who is known for the phrase,
""Yo, Dawg." Donovan based his
scores off the audience's rcac-

student at Lock
Haven
University and a resident advisor in Smith Hall, acted as the
most popular and beautiful
judge, singer and choreographer
Paula Abdul. Sessions kept her
comments sweet and encouraging just like Abdul does on the
show.
The competition began with
10 hopefuls all aiming for the
S250 grand prize. The judges
scored each participant after
their performance and the top
five scorers moved on to the second round. Alter the five contestants got a second chance to
impress the judges and audience
only two were chosen to go
head-to-head in the third and
final round.

Throughout the competition
Kilcoyne wowed the audience
and judges with her vocal range
singing songs like "Killing Me
Softly" by the Fugees and an a
cappella version of "Unchained

Melody" by The Righteous
Brothers in the third round.
Tobine got the audience
moving during her second performance with the country hit
"Any Man of Mine" by Shania
Twain.
The audience got to pick the
winner of the competition by a
measure of applause. Tobine
was chosen to win the money
and the title of "University
Idol."
Tobine was happy about her
win. despite uneasy feelings
during her last performance.
"I didn't feel very confident
about the last one," said Tobine,
referring to her last performance
when she sang "What a Girl
Wants" by Christina Aguilera.
The singer was unfamiliar with
the version of the song that the
deejay played causing her to falter during her performance.
Kilcoyne was happy for
Tobine and pleased to be a part
of such great competition.
"If they do it again next year
I'll be back to duke it out!" said
Kilcoyne with a smile. "It was
fun and we all really got along."

much as there are things that
may be slightly less than right.
For one, too often the movie
shifts its focus away from its
plot and characters in favor of
action sequences that, while
visually captivating like the rest
of the movie, were, on the
whole,
unnecessary.
Additionally, I found the interludes that included Edna Mode,
the costume designer to the
superheroes (who knew they
had their own?) largely annoying, inane, and often incomprehensible.
Even with its flaws, The
Incredibles is a movie that is
deserving of monetary investment; namely, yours. While it is
unfair of me to judge the film
against such high, past standards, when you've seen such
standards attained and passed by
the same people in the past, you
can't help a little bit of disappointment. However, that doesn't mean you can't swallow the
disappointment and watch for
the great things that are at work
in The Incredibles.

A little more than 30 years later,

That statement, at the same time,

such deja vu is that, in John
Fogerty, it produces music
worth remembering again.
The title track of Deja Vu All

political overtones and though it
is the most relevant of the collection of songs on the album, it
is not even close to being the
only good one. The entire
album is filled with memorable
songs that have a timeless quality, like the best of John Fogerty

voice seems to have gotten a little softer and higher with age;
while he doesn't have the same
visceral, bluesy growl that

"Fortunate Son" and "Traveling

vengeance, his voice has
matured into an instrument that
allows him to express the many
emotions ofhis music.

in the game, particularly with
"She's Got Baggage"; if you didn't know better, you would think
that Fogerty was doing a cover

Fogerty may believe that

Fogerty's muse didn't get lost in

Charles Condomine (Dennis Berfield) deals with his ex-wife's ghost in the University Player's production of Blithe Spirit which will be perfomed again this weekend in Sloan Fine Arts Center.
Brendon Costello
Staff Reporter
Blithe Spirit, the most recent
performance presented by the
Lock Haven University Players,
carries the precise mood its title
suggests along with a few additional pleasant surprises.
Since its debut Thursday
night, the three-act play written
by Noel Coward and directed by
Stephen E. Haynes and performed entirely by university
students has been the topic of
conversation across campus.
The chatter is well-deserved too.
Blithe Spirit comically
accounts the supernatural experiences of Charles Condomine
(Dennis Berfield) and his friends
and family as he attempts to
cope with the manifestation of
his deceased wife, Elvira
Condomine (Annie Hudak).

"I thought it was hilarious,"
said junior Jess Stokes, 20. "I'm
always amazed at how much talent is in the university."
The audience will laugh out
loud while Berfield grapples
with sanity as the ghost of his
late wife makes every attempt to
create chaos in their 1939 home
in Kent, England.
Chris Grouzes adds further
comedy to the farce by donning
colorful drag for the part of
Madame Arcati, the psychic
hired by Mr. Condomine and his
second wife to contact Elvira.
University Players members
work hard every day ofthe week
in order to perfect every aspect
oftheir performance.
"I put in about forty-four
hours in a week," said Berfield
regarding his time dedication in
preparation for the show.
Others, such as Hudak, spend
about twenty-eight hours per

week and admit that their lives
would be miserable without theatre.

"I love being on stage and
working in the scene shop," said
Hudak. "I get a great sense of
pride with I see it all come
together in the end"
Blithe Spirit's players take
pride in their hard work and take
it very seriously. Laura Butler,
who plays Ruth Condomine, the
second wife of Charles
Condomine, confesses that her
love of theatre sterns from the
gratification ofthe completion.
"The endproduct is so amazing," said Butler. "It's worth the
migraines." Butler, as Ruth
Condomine, participates in the
seance led by Madame Arcati to
contact the spirit of Elvira and
becomes agitated by Elvira's
persistent postmortem heckling.
Berfield attributes his passion for performance to acting's

therapeutic benefits. "Theatre
has always been an outlet for
me," he said. "1 have been a part
ofit since the sixth grade."
The University Players will
present the last of six performances of "Blithe Spirit" on the
Main Stage of The Sloan Fine
Arts Center Nov. 11 through the
13 at 8 p.m. Admission is free to
students with a valid I.D. card.

The chilly night breeze and
the cold drizzling rain was
complimented by the blues
music of The Clayton Miller
Blues Band, who performed
for a small crowd of Lock
Haven students and faculty
inside Price Auditorium last
Thursday.
The hour-long concert featured the band's blues-style of
music influenced from rock 'n'
roll and blue artists such as
Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton,
Stevie Ray Vaughn, and B.B.
King.
The band opened the show
with a cover of a Bob Dylan
song before performing songs
from their latest album, "Gotta
Have Love." Some of the
songs performed were, "Set
Me Free," "Low Down Dirty
Blues," and the title song from
the album, "Gotta Have Love."
This Lafayette, Ind. based
family band consists of three
brothers and their bass playing
father, Larry. The 21-year-old
Clayton is the oldest brother.
He plays lead guitar and sings
lead vocals. Cole, 18, sings
backup vocals and is the drummer. The star ofthe band is 11

Magic show played with students' minds
Nicole Pinto
For The Eagle Eye
Jim Karol and his associates entertained Lock Haven
students with their Mind,
Magic, and Madness Show last
Wednesday, sponsered by HAC
and SCC.
Audience participation was
a big part of the show. Jim
Karol started the show out with
two volunteers and the host
Mike in handcuffs. Jim told
the audience that one of his
Guinness Book of World
Records is for the fastest
escape from handcuffs.
Jim also stated that he had
seven records total and has
been on the Rosie O'Donnell
Show. He said he made a lot of
money in his line of work and
held up the wallets of the two
boys who had been on stage.
The audience was laughing as
the boys ran up to get their wallets back. Even when the one
got his wallet back. Jim
showed him he had taken the
money out, which caused the
crowd to laugh even more.
He has another Guinness
record of throwing cards two
hundred feet. He picked Josh,
Jed, and Randy from the audience to participate in his next
trick. He made Josh be Spok
from Star Trek with a big deck
of cards, picking one. Jed's job
was to be Uranusm and hold a
balloon, which made the audience snicker. Randy was to
hold two cantalopes in front of

her to represent a warship. The
audience was really roaring by
now. The three were to work
together and put the ripped
card in the balloon by beaming
it. It didn't work out until Jim
suggested it could be in a
melon. Jim faked the audience
out by letting Randy hold one
melon above an audience member's head while he said he
would throw the knife at it. He
then brought the melon back on
stage and cut it in half and
inside was the card. Jim tricked
many people during his show.
He also pretended to let an
audience member cut the
microphone cord and put it
back together. But, while trying
to put it back together, he pretended to be electrocuted with
a spark button. The audience,
shocked, learned it was a wireless microphone the whole
time.
After this excitement, the
audience was introduced to
Mike Dubois and Chris Chelko
from Penn State who joined
Jim's show. The two have
appeared on Jay Leno's Tonight
Show. Chris made a thin balloon go through his mouth and
nose at the same time. Not only
that, he would squeeze the air
from one side to the other.
Chris even had an audience
volunteer rip up the Eagle Eye,
which he put back together.
