This semester's shortened time period for registration has some advisors
scrambling to try to meet
with all their students
before they register for
classes.
While some advisors
only have a few students
to take care of, others such

"I try to get my students to not come in for
advising too early... classes might be closed [by the
time they register]," he
said.
Jill Mitchley, registrar,
said that compared to last
year the registration time
is actually only one day
shorter.
"Perhaps the crunch is
really coming from having
the registration
days
scheduled back-to-back
rather than in a seemingly shortened time period,"
she said. But according to
the time chart posted on
the registrar's office webpage, there is a gap of
time in which no students
register between March
26 and April 2.
"It may be putting
some students in a bind,"
Ballat said. "There are
only so many hours in a
day."
However, so far he has
been able to meet with all
his students except one
athlete whose schedule
continues to conflict with
his. Ballat said that while
advisors are required to
put five office hours in a
week, it's really necessary
for them to put much more
than that in during registration time.

Community Wellness Day includes Health Fair
Christina Shuman
Staff Report er
cshuman@lhup.edu
Today, health awareness seems to be more and
more important. Students
and community residents
will have the opportunity
to learn more about health
topics at this year's Health
Fair on April 17 from 27pm in the university's
recreation center. This is
one of three activities
for
planned
the
Community Wellness Day.
With last year's attendance estimated at around
500, the fair expects 600800 this year. More than
fifteen workshops have
been added along with a
speaker.
"We were very pleased
with last year's attendance," said Brad Dally,
student recreation center
director. Over 40 venders
will be attending as well
as programs, workshops,
free giveaways and the
keynote speaker.
Admission is free for
the public and students.
There will be free health
snacks, health screenings,
demonstrations, raffles,
gift certificates,
door
prizes and some giveaways.
The screenings

offered include, bone density, blood glucose, blood
pressure, visual acuity,
glaucoma, body composition and fitness assessment.
Multiple groups of people are responsible for setting up and organizing
this event.

resident hall director.
Dr. Rick Schulze, associate professor, department of health science,
has done a lot of work for
the health fair and
deserves credit for its
expansion. As leader of
the committee, he has
tried to make this event
more extensive and community oriented.
"I wrote and received a
grant from the Lock

Foundation to expand the
Health
Fair into a

Day to involve the local
community and collaborate with both campus

departments,
groups and county agencies," said Schulze.
The fair has a large
amount of information on
topic areas of health that
affect students as well as
members of the community. The vendors who will
be attending have healthoriented activities that
provide students and residents a broad picture on
health issues.
"The workshops range
from everything from
Caring for Elderly Parents
to Natural Nutrition, to
safe cosmetics, to women's
health issues, to HF7 and

and Reiki and a whole lot
more," said McGee.

'The great thing about

it allows students who are
doing great things, academically and otherwise,

also try to get the faculty

hundreds of students
receiving recognition for

Erin Kennedy, assistant
professor in the psychology department and chair
of the committee.
Along with students
receiving their respective
scholarships, the convocation also features the distinguished lecture named
for Gerald R. Robinson,

"It is a huge honor for
me to present the Gerald

since
Dr.
Robinson was my first professor at Lock Haven

Dr. Robinson is boundless,
so I offer this presentation
out of that respect.
In

a
"Portion
Distortion" luncheon.
The event will feature Laurie WeinribPenn
State
Welch,
Extension Educator, giving a power point presentation about portion
control in American
society.
The focus of WeinribWelch's presentation is
that American's normal
portion size has gotten
out of control. The average for most of the foods
we eat everyday are considerably bigger than
the suggested serving
size.

"Everyday foods that
we eat are bigger than
what they were 20 years
ago. The bagels we eat
for breakfast have doubled in size in that time
period. Pizza is bigger
at lunch, popcorn is bigger at the movies, even
our plates our bigger,"
Weinrib-Welch said.
The recently amended food pyramid will
also be a focus of the
presentation. The new
standards of consumption can be found at
www.mypyramid.gov.
The attendees will
receive a salad and a
drink to enjoy while the
presentation is given.

Mitchley said the time
period for registration is
of
shorter
because
advances in web technology that allow larger
groups of students to
schedule at once.
"When Lock Haven
University first implemented web registration,
a concern
there was
about the load on the network if too many students
were scheduled to register
at the same time; therefore the groups were kept
very small, approximately
20 to 30 students per time
said.
she
period,"
However, now that the
registrar's office is more
experienced in registration, "each time period
now averages about 40 to
50 students."
Mitchley added that
ending the registration
period early in April

allows LHU to cancel
classes with low enrollment and add more sections of "high-demand"
courses. It also gives the
university extra time to
reschedule anyone who
had technological glitches
during their registration
time rather than leaving
them hanging at the end
of the semester.
While some advisors
may feel the shortened
time period makes them
less effective at their job,
Ballat believes it is still
important for students to
meet with their advisors
before scheduling.
While he said seniors
are pretty easy to take
care of at this point, freshmen can benefit enormously from meeting with
their advisors. Ballat
student
each
takes
through the registration
process step-by-step on
their first meeting and
keeps a list of items to go
over with each new stu-

dent.
He also noted that
other departments similar
to his have very specific
graduation requirements
and it's important for students to stay on sequence
with those so they can
graduate on time.
»
"The biggest mistake
freshmen make is not following the advice from the
advisors about how to
arrange a meeting and
getting cleared in time."
said Six. "No, I don't feel
as though I have enough
time to meet all of my
other professional obligations during the six-week
advising period that happens in our department.
But, during this time,
the students in front of us
get priority and all other
tasks take low priority. If
they do their pant... they
will get cleared in time
and have the best chance
of getting the courses they
want, based upon their
registration time."

After a tour of the new
building, Johnson brought
his humor and genuine
concern about the state's
healthcare situation to the
LHU students.
A classroom of physician assistant students at
the
Health
Science
Building was not the only
one with the pleasure to
hear Johnson speak. A
live feed provided a classroom of Clearfield campus
students with the unique
opportunity as well.
"We are at the cusp,
the leading edge ofhealthcare," said Johnson.
As one ofthe key issues
in the upcoming election,
Johnson explained, the
country has finally begun
to demand a remedy to the
ailing programs across the
country.
Pennsylvania, according to the health secretary, is blazing ahead in
the search for solutions,
"We're not only begun
to talk about it," said
Johnson, "but we're driving it home."
A healthcare reform
bill, introduced by Gov. Ed

From, SCC, Al

in the state senate, was
one step in the right direction, said Johnson.
He explained that the
flaws of "managed care"
are clearer than ever.
"It may have been good
in concept,",said Johnson,
"but in practice, it's not
really worked."
With the number of
uninsured adults in the
state hovering around
800,000,
change
has
become a must.
"Those who enter the
healthcare system, when
they finally do are coming
in later, sicker and are
more expensive to treat,"
Johnson said.
Other than the burden
of the uninsured, which
Johnson called a "ethical
and moral" dilemma as
well as an economic one, is
the broadening of physician assistant's duties in
the workplace.
According to Johnson,

Tri-Sigma to hold rock concert
benefiting Robbie Page Memorial
Bryn Zeigler
Staff Reporter
bzeiglerfa lhup.edu
Sigma Sigma Sigma
(Tri-Sig) is holding the
first annual "Rock for
Robbie" on April 26, 2008
at the East Campus gymnasium.
The event is a benefit
rock concert featuring ten
different bands and is
scheduled to begin at 6
p.m. and last until all of
them have performed.
Admission will be five dollars and the proceeds for
the event will be donated
to the Robbie Page
Memorial.
Robbie Page was the
son of one of Tri-Sig's first
national presidents, who
died at a young age of
polio.
"Each year we hold different events to raise
money for this cause, but
we have never tried something like this before, so it
is very exciting to put
together something that
could really provide us
with a lot of money to give

Celebrating 90 years in business

back to the cause," said
Kara Wilt, junior Tri-Sig
member.
Tri-Sig has been selling
tickets at numerous locations on campus for the
past week. This pre-sale
is finished, but tickets for
the concert will be sold at
the door on April 26.
In addition to the sales
of admission tickets, TriSig will be selling t-shirts
for the event. The t-shirts
will read Rock for Robbie
on the front and the back
will list the bands performing.
Local bands committed
to playing are Dead Horse.
Welcome to Winfield, 110
Linden and Zero Hero.
Bands from surrounding
areas that will be playing
are Diamond
Cutters,
Hayley, Lights Camera
Distraction,
Stephen
Elliot, Rocky3 and Hope
Lies Beyond.
The event will also feature
on-going raffles
throughout the night.
Band t-shirts and other
music related items will
be given away.

The Tri-Sig foundation
centers' its philanthropic

efforts on the theme
"Sigma serves children,"
especially through the
Robbie Page Memorial.
The memorial was established following the 1951
death of the Tri-Sigma's
National President's son.
It began by supporting
various polio research
projects and Tri-Sig continues to support the
cause today as its efforts
have focused on supporting play therapy for hospitalized children.
"Rock for Robbie is
going to be a lot of fun and
I think that a lot of people
will really enjoy it if they
came out. You don't have
to be a Lock Haven student, and if you are, please
do not look at it as another sorority event. This is
for everyone. There are
going to be a ton of amazing bands for a lotW musical
interests,"
said
Breanne Duell, sophomore
Tri-Sig member.

Special speech class
offered for shy students

8 AM—4PM

TEXAS LUNCH

April 9, 2008

This fall, Lock Haven's
department of communication studies wants students to be aware of a
speech course that is being
offered for students who
have a fear of public
speaking.
Dr. Patrizia Hoffman,
assistant professor of communication studies, has
been the professor of this
speech class for the "shy,"
here at Lock Haven for six
years.

The program began at
Penn State University
because students were not
graduating due to the lack
of success in speech classes.
It was created to benefit those students who
have an extremely difficult time speaking in front
of an audience.
The class proved successful and was therefore
transferred and brought
with Hoffman here to Lock
Haven University.

This course is not just
for the fear of public
speaking, but also for
other communication skill
deficiencies. This includes
fear of class participation,
group communication and
projects, public speaking
and other everyday social
interactions.
Before trying to add
this course to a schedule,
the prerequisite to adding
it is a meeting with
Hoffman.
During this meeting,
Hoffman will discuss a
number of issues regarding the degree of comfort
in differing social settings.
Students will go over
fears such as participation
in class and in class discussions, speaking with
professors, feelings of
apprehension at employment interviews, committee work, difficulty meeting strangers and overall
shyness.
Students who enter
this class will be required
to determine their own
personal goal. This goal
will be something they

wish to accomplish outside
of
the
classroom.
Student's will also be
required to complete a
group presentation, an
oral
interpretation,
speeches and a mock
interview before the completion of the course.
Hoffman states that
this is "...a huge step" for
students and that "...in
this society, communication is so important."
The cap on the class
size is 20, so students
should plan on scheduling
a time to visit with
Hoffman as soon as possible.
The course is SPCH
102
Section
3:
Fundamentals of Public
Speaking and will be
scheduled to meet on
Monday, Wednesdays and
Fridays from 10:10-11a.m.
Any questions can be

OPINION
What is change worthP
Chris Hoskavich
Opinion Editor
choskavi«lhup.edu

We have a tendency to
take incredibly complex
political issues and boil
them down to expressions
short enough to fit on a tshirt, bumper sticker or
button.
The Iraq War? "Bush
lied, kids died."
The Middle East peace
process? "Free Palestine."
Second
Amendment
rights? "Gun control =
crime control."
This tactic is very convenient for those who wish
to raise support for their
side of an argument without really having to argue
it. All they have to do is
expose enough people to
their stance and keep it in
the public's collective
mind.
Just browse around at
Spencer's Gifts for a couple minutes and you'll see
that the American Left
has this practice down to a
science.
Any politician or political organization worth its
salt, however, actively
tries to engage in sloga-

neering and effective use
of images, and there is
nothing wrong with it.
Successful campaigning
of this nature is a double-

edged sword. Sometimes it
can help spread the word
about positive ideas and
actions, and sometimes it
can confuse people and
spread distortions that
cannot be argued against.
Our responsibility' as citizens is to not accept or
facilitate this propaganda
without
understanding
exactly what ideas we are
promoting.

many Americans who purchase this mass-produced

of the mass destruction,
horror and misery that
have resulted from brutal
Marxist revolutions?
The proliferation of slogans, catchphrases and
images has already started to impact the 2008 election and will continue
even more as it wears on.
The most obvious example of a catchphrase that
has become ubiquitous in
this election process is
"change."
Barack Obama can be

Steven Spielberg's next
big production, scheduled
for release next year, will
bring Belgian comic book
hero Tintin to life.
Spielberg plans to do a
trilogy based on the
adventures of this young
journalist and his faithful
Fox terrier Milou.
"The Lord of the Rings"
Director Peter Jackson
might direct one of the
movies and fans hope
George Lucas will direct
the other.
Newspapers in the UK
predict this series will be
as big as Harry Potter.
I'm not used to promoting big blockbusters, especially those that will put
millions
in
more
Spielberg's
pocket.
However, I can't deny I'm
thrilled that new generations will get to know the
reporter who inspired me
to become one.
Georges Prosper Remi,
better known as Herge,
wrote and drew "The
Adventures of Tintin"
from 1929 until his death
in 1983.
He died before completing his character's last
adventure "Tintin et le
Alph-art."
A total of 24 issues tells
the story of a boy prodigy
who works for newspaper
"The Little Twentieth"
doing investigative reporting around the world and
even in outer space. Since

the age of 11, Tintin
unveils various crime
including Al Capone's
dirty businesses political
corruption, murder, robbery, disappearances and
other mysteries well hidden by world leaders and
the scientific community.
Being this talented has its
price; his name is soon
included in black and
most-wanted lists in several countries.
Bounty hunters, the military and police tried to
kill him or at least give
him a lesson. Throughout
his life he is imprisoned
and sentenced to death
but always gets his way
with a little help from his
friends, most of the time
from his wonder dog.
At the end of every
adventure, Tintin saved
the day, but I only recall
seeing him once writing a
story, which was the reason he went through all
that trouble in the first
place. I would like to
assume he worked in his
stories on his way back to
Brussels and that he gave
his
editor
constant
updates during his investigations. Maybe Herge
didn't want to waste ink in
explaining the obvious.
However, as I learn more
about journalism, I've
realized Tintin committed
a few reporting sins
throughout his career.
First of all, he rarely carried a note pad with him. I
never saw him writing
good quotes from his
sources although most of
them told him really
revealing things.
Tintin was a master of

-

-

disguise: he went undercover to sneak into
restricted places, fool his
sources and eventually get
the information. Most of
his "Little Twentieth" colleagues wouldn't have
found that very ethical.
But probably the most
questionable thing for the
journalism world is that
Tintin always got involved
with the story to a point in
which he became the
news.
Tintin usually left his
reporting priorities aside
to help people in distress.
In his first assignment, he
beat up Soviet soldiers
because they wouldn't give
food.
people
enough
During his journey in
South America, Tintin
advised a guerrilla leader
to start a riot in a dictator's mansion to start an
insurrection. Other times,
he stole several ancient
artifacts from palaces and
ruins to give them to the
"good guys," and more
than once, he turned in
criminals to the police.
No one could doubt
Tintin's intentions were
good and that his actions
saved a lot of lives,
stopped crime and put
those responsible behind
bars, but his stories probably wouldn't have been
accurate, objective and
fair. In other words, he triumphed as a hero but
failed as a journalist.
Tintin's dilemma is far
from fictional. Journalists
worldwide lose sleep trying to figure out when it is
right to be a hero and
when they should be mere
informers. Even today, no

one has been able to give
an answer that would convince everybody, and it is
unlikely that someone
ever will.
Ethics in journalism are
as subjective as the
human mind. It all
depends on the circumstances of the situation at
stake. This relativity
becomes a problem when
journalists abuse it for
their own purposes. The
bad reputation newspapers have gained over the
years come from reporters
and editors using their
work to get revenge,
money or other personal
gratification.
Because some journalists write their stories
based on their interests
instead of society's, they
give politicians and other
public figures the perfect
excuse to diminish journalism in general.
Spanish journalist and
writer Alex Grijelmo said
the freedom of information
is mainly for the readers
rather than for the
reporters. Journalists are
the readers' servants,
therefore
they
must
always take them in consideration regardless of
the story or the people
involved in it. That may be

It's the end of the world
as we know it.
Unlikely?
Sure.
Improbable?
Yes.
But according to two
researchers in Hawaii who
are suing CERN, the
European Organization
for Nuclear Research, in
United States federal
court, Judgment Day may
be right around the corner
the product of a manmade mini-black hole.
Later this year, scientists at CERN's new Large
Hadron Collider, the
world's largest particle
accelerator, will begin
smashing sub-atomic particles together at close to
the speed of light in an
effort to recreate energies
and conditions only seen a
trillionth of a second after
the Big Bang.
Physicists at CERN have
spent $8 billion over 14
years to build the 27-kilometer tunnel, and they
dismiss the possibility
that a tiny black hole
could appear under the
hills of Switzerland.
researchers
Physics
Walter L. Wagner and
Luis Sancho, however,
have pointed out that even

-

a CERN press release
acknowledges the likelihood
of
"unexpected
results."
Their suit, according to
The New York Times, calls
for a restraining order to
prevent the possible formation of apocalyptic
occurrences such as a
black
hole
or
a
"strangelet," which they
say could reduce the planet to a dense lump of
quasi-matter.
Before anyone starts
blowing off their schoolwork in favor of a giant
countdown party, they
should know that CERN
has passed multiple safety
reviews and that Wagner,
one of the co-plaintiffs,
once filed similar lawsuits
to stop the Brookhaven
National Laboratory from
starting their Relativistic
Heavy Ion Collider.
The collider has been
operating without problems since the suit was
dismissed in 2001.
Despite the plaintiffs'
comic similarity to crackpot science-fiction fans,
this case raises a number
of serious questions about
the future of scientific
inquiry, especially at a
research university like
our own.
What level of global risk
are we willing to tolerate
in the never-ending quest
for scientific advancement?
If physicists calculated a
one percent possibility of

the creation of a devastating black hole in CERN's
supercollider, would that
be acceptable?
What about a hundredth
of a percent?
Or a thousandth?
In research laboratories
from Hanover to Bangkok,
scientists are handling
dangerous materials and
studying ethically gray
areas: from gene altering
to cloning, nanotechnology
to anthrax.
Most Western countries
have rigorous safety standards, but what happens if
a researcher in a hidden
lab in China, for example,
accidentally infects him or
herself with a violent
strand ofbird flu?
There are many more
tangible problems in our
world, and catastrophes
such as the ones highlighted by the plaintiffs in
Hawaii will most likely
never appear outside of
movie theatres.
Yet, we should still
examine global scientific
policy. While a federal
court in the middle of the
Pacific Ocean obviously
has no jurisdiction over an
organization run by 20
European countries, who
should?
If we leave discretion up
to individual scientists
themselves, it is doubtful
any would voluntarily
abandon their research in
fear ofthe unlikely.
One of the Dartmouth's
greatest accomplishments

is its legacy of academic
research within a small
college setting, and that
pursuit should never be
disregarded or substantially constrained.
Our great technological
accomplishments of the
past - from the influential
Dartmouth Conference on
Artificial Intelligence in
1956 that launched the
field, to the invention of
the BASIC computer language by future College
President
John
G.
Kemeny in 1964 teach us
that the College's goals go
far beyond grooming the
next generation of lawyers
and corporate CEOs.
Here in the hills of New
Hampshire, where we
already bridge the gap
between
cutting-edge
research and liberal arts
instruction, is as good as
any place to start re-evaluating our constant drive
for scientific progress at
any cost.
If we can strike a balance between those two
educational
competing
forces, perhaps we can
also establish the gentle
opening ties that keep science from flying off without us.
As a species, we humans
almost never confront a
problem before it is
already upon us.
Unfortunately, after one
black hole or worldwide
epidemic, we might not get
another shot.

Baseball topples IUP
The Bald Eagles beat nationally ranked IUP squad, 17-2
Kris Glad
Sports Reporter
kglad@lhup.edu
In the weekend series
with Indiana University of
Pennsylvania, LHU was
able to not only score their
highest number of runs all
season, they were able to
post their widest margin of
victory, and it was only the
first game. Unfortunately
the rest of the series didn't
follow suit.

"We faced their #1 pitcher and hit him very well.
We pitched well we hit well
and we fielded and threw
the ball well. We were
happy with the win against
a ranked team," said Coach
Smokey Stover.
In the first game the
LHU bats were swinging
for the fences as Lock
Haven took the first game
from IUP 17-2.
The Bald Eagles started
scoring in the second inning
with junior first baseman
Matt Palko nailing a pitch
out of the park and giving
LHU a three run lead that
they would not let go.
Sophomore outfielder
Evan Petro scored two runs
in the game has he got his

first homerun of the season,
to give the Bald Eagles a 70 lead.
The game was full of
more action as the Bald
Eagles scored six runs in
the fifth inning and batted
through the entire lineup in
that inning alone.
The pitching for the
game was on as sophomore
Josh Rote threw for six
innings, allowed two hits
and struck out five of IUP
batters. With that kind of
performance Rote was able
to get his third win of the
season, moving to 3-1 on
the season.
The victory would be
short lived for the Bald
Eagles as the series took a
turn for the worse as the
second game at Indiana
would be delayed because of
darkness. That was something Coach Stover didn't
want to see happen.
"I would have liked to
finish the game out there
because we play much better on the road. I do not
understand that," said
Coach Stover.
The game resumed
the river
at
across
Foundation Field, with IUP
leading the Bald Eagles 1-0
after three and a half
innings. Eventually IUP
would win that second

■

"home" game 3-2. Senior
third baseman Tim Bremen
and
sophomore Mark
Strouse scored both runs in
the game.
Sophomore
pitchers Eric Christensen
and Bobby Fiala each
pitched three-plus innings.
Despite splitting the first
two games, the Bald Eagles
couldn't capture the same
spark as the day before.
In the first game at
home, LHU dropped the
first game 12-4, with their
four runs coming off of 11
hits. Junior Zach Schuler,
freshmen
James
Zimmerman,
Matt
McCamley, and
Brian
Kochik scored the runs for
the Bald Eagles.
The second game was a
lot closer then first but still
did help Lock Haven in the
standings as the fell 5-3.
After the first three innings
LHU had the 2-1 lead, but
IUP proceeded to score one
run in the rest of the
innings, while the Bald
Eagles
were
stuck.
Freshman pitcher Tyler
Rumsey pitched the entire
game. He allowed five runs
off of six hits, while striking
out five.

over
Clarion
and
California.

The Lady Eagles do
not seem to be skipping a
beat, as they have not lost
since March 15. They also
extend their home win
streak to a dominant 51.
"We have a well balanced team that is based
on
strong
pitching,
defense and an explosive
offense that can score in a
variety of ways," said
Head
Coach
Kelley
Green. "We have 20 student-athletes and coaches
who are 100 percent committed to do their best
each day on the field and
love being a part of LHU
Softball."
Earlier in the week
against
Clarion, the
Haven posted a 10-0 win
in game one and a 20-0
game in the second.
Kristen Erb picked up her
22nd win on the season
pitching a one hitter

through six innings.
She also went 2-4 at
the plate with two RBI's
and a long ball. Also helping out the cause was
Amanda Roosa and Sarah
Norris. Norris and Roosa
contributed with a combined four RBI's and two
homers.
Amanda
Gutmaker
also helped out with an
RBI in her one at bat. The
second game featured a
hit fest as the Haven
smacked 25 hits to score
20 runs in their second
shutout of the day.
Erb picked up another
win in game two as she
pitched four impressive
innings, striking out five
Golden Beagle Batters.
Jess Jeffries relieved Erb
in the game for her first
appearance of the season.
The trio of Roosa, Erb,
and Norris along with
Erica Eisenbise took over
the offense for the team
as Norris hit a homer,
Roosa was 4-5 at the
plate, and Erb picked up
the win and went 3-4 with
three runs scored and
Eisenbise jacked a grand
slam and picked up five
RBI's on the day.
"I believe that our
team has an atmosphere
like no other in our locker
room," said sophomore

Amanda Gutmaker. "We
are so intense about our
games but yet so relaxed
at the same time. We
make sure that we leave
everything out on the
field on practice days and
game days they are the
same to us. Our ultimate
goal is of course to win."
Cal U of PA would fall
victim to the Lady Eagles
hot pitching and bats as
the Haven would sweep
the doubleheader against
the Vulcans by scores of
7-0 and 2-0.
Erb pitched a spectacular game as she worked
all seven innings stifling
ten batters. She also
picked up a pair of RBI's.
Erica
Eisenbise
pitched in with two RBI's
while
Sarah
Norris
picked up one to push the
Haven to a 7-0 win.
Game two would be
much of the same as Erb
picked up the win while
also teaming up with
Sarah Norris to go 2-3 at
the strike. This game
marked Erb's 50th scoreless game, which puts her
in third place all time in
the PSAC.

This is the true story of five teammates picked to play in a national championship, choke together and have their
dreams shattered, and find out what happens when teams of better caliber come
calling and start reminding you of what
conference you're in. This is the Real
World, Memphis.
Someone call the EMS away from Roy
Williams house, I think we've got a group
of choke artists here.
Seriously though, Memphis is up by
nine with 2:12 left in regulation, then up
by three with 2.1 to go, and after letting
go of a nine point lead that they never
should have, there is noway that they are
going to let Kansas shoot a three, right?
At least that's what you, me and the
rest ofthe semi-functional public thought.
How do you not foul and send Kansas

Someone who knows nothing about
basketball would be able to decipher common athletic strategy, but the lack of common sense on behalf of the players and
John Calipari isn't even what bothers me
the most.
Depending on the situation, bricks can
be a good thing or a bad thing. If I'm
building a house, bricks equal good. If I'm
at the line, however, bricks equal bad.

Ranked 339-341 teams, it would be in
interest if I were Calipari, to

my best

spend some extra time at the line during
my practices, because his theory that his
team's play was good enough to compensate for their Ray Charles-esk ability to
shoot FT's backfired big time.
Missing four of five free-throws that
would have put the game away is not only
inexcusable; it's pathetic and unworthy of
Division II notoriety.
Mario Chalmbers should buy, with his
predicted ridiculous NBA contract, the
Tigers starting line-up a nice sit-down
dinner for their help in making him a
household name in this country and a legend in Jayhawks basketball.
In fact. Derrick Rose just may want to
follow Chalmbers lead and declare for the
NBA and save himself the embarrassment of coming back for a second season
with Memphis.
I don't understand why people are
attacking Calipari so much either.
Sure, he should have called a time-out
to give his team a chance to strategize the
last few seconds, but what this game
came down to is the unbelievably awful
Memphis free-throw percentage.
And it's because of this, that KU students have the day off and MU students
are on the brink of tears as they suffer
though a 9 a.m. bio lecture.

Week of forgiveness
James Cooney
Sports Editor
jcooney@lhup.edu
This week was the week of forgiveness for the two "cursed" teams in Major
League Baseball. First there was the
announcement of Moises Alou that there
was no chance that he could have caught
the ball that Steve Bartman touched in
the 2003 National League Championship
Then on Wednesday Bill
Series.
Buckner, the man famous tor letting a
ground ball go through hit; legs, threw
put the opening pitch at Fenway Park
The forgiveness of Buckner is a little
easier seeing how Boston has won two
World Series since the ball went between
Buckner's legs. For Cubs fans they
aren't so forgiving.
If Moises Alou truly could not have
caught that ball, then why was he so
mad when he realized that the ball had
been touched? He clearly was arguing
with the umpire and wanted fan interference. If the Cubs would have won a

I am happy to see Buckner forgiven;
he was a great player for the Boston Red
Sox. For Bartman 1 really can't blame
him. As a fan I would most likely do the
same thing. I mean a foul hall headed
my way I would reach up and try to catch
it.
Also what most people forget, just like
Buckner, "Bartman's interference" happened in game six. The Cubs had a
healthy Kerry Wood pitching in game
seven. Game seven was winnable and
the Cubs failed to do it.
So can the Cubs win the World Series
this year? If the MLB was scripted like
the NFL then I would say yes. There are
a lot of good teams in baseball and especially in the American League.
One team that isn't good is the
Detroit Tigers. They are off to a good
start at 0-6. With the second highest
payroll in baseball you figure they could
win their opening series with the Kansas
City Royals.
One thing that we can not forgive, if it
is true, is Alex Rodriguez using steroids.
According to Jose Canseco he told A-Rod
where to get steroids. Now as much as I
don't like Canseco he has been right in
the past and I fear that this time he
could also be true. I really like A-Rod. I
always liked him because he never used
performance enhancing drugs. If this is
true I am glad that he stayed with the
Yankees and did not come to the
Cubbies.

Hip-Hop Crew show brings in different styles
Bryn Zeigler

Staff Reporter
bzeigle2(« lhup.edu
The inside of Price
Performance
Center
looked and sounded a lot
like a dance club this
past Friday night as the
Lock Haven University
Hip-Hop Crew presented
"Lots of Flavaz."
The group of 27
dancers and five choreographers performed to an
array of music while presenting a variety of different dance styles.
Each of the styles was
highlighted by themeappropriate dress and a
passion that one of the
group's leaders voiced
proudly.
"I really had a fun

Majors from A to Z: education
Olga Malyavskaya
Feature Editor
omalyavs@lhup.edu
For those who want to
become teachers, Lock
Haven is a place to go.
Based
the
on
Pennsylvania
Department of Education
certification programs,
the education majors
offered at LHU include
early childhood education (preschool through
the third grade), elementary education (kindergarten through the sixth
grade), health and physical education, set up to
be K-12, and special education that will give you
the skills to help exceptional people throughout
their life-time.
In addition, one can
obtain a secondary education degree focusing on
teaching a certain content area (English, foreign languages, math,
social studies and sciences) in middle and
high schools.
According to Dr. Terry
Brink, the chairperson of
education
elementary
department, those who
are thinking about getting a degree in special,
early childhood or elementary education need
to enjoy working with
children.
"[They] are usually
people that have a sincere love of young children and want to work
with them to help them
learn how to learn," he
said.

As for secondary education, it is focusing on
working with teenagers
which can be quite chalas
lenging,
though,
pointed
Brink
out, a
teacher will be able to
present and discuss more
difficult and complicated
content material and the
ideas and concepts that
go with that.
"Secondary teachers
need to be content
experts in their fields,
but then they also often
want others to share that
excitement," he said.
No matter what program you choose, being
passionate about teaching and interacting with
students is a must.
is
a
"Teaching

hours after work," Brink
said. "Papers to grade

f

mmr
fr

and new assignments to
prepare keep one working late all the time. You
need to be comfortable

ence.
watching you all of the
time."
If you feel that teaching is something you
really want to do in your
life, then be prepared for
some serious challenges.
First of all, to get a
teaching certificate, the
students are required to
have a GPA of 3.00 or
higher, but some school
districts want to see students with 3.5 or higher,
explained Brink.
The second requirement is to pass all of five
Praxis tests.
As
Kathy
Dr.
Richards, assistant professor at elementary/sec-

ondary
education
departments, explained,
Praxis tests are standardized tests teachers
are re Q u ire d to take to
demonstrate their competency to teach.
The Praxis series
assesses the candidate's
reading, writing and
matn
skills, his/her
knowledge of the context
area and methods of
teaching.
Another requirement
one has to meet is 80
-200 hours of classroom
obtained
experience
through student teaching and internships.
Finally, you have to
have a good moral character.
"You have to demonstrate so-called 'interpersonal dispositions'
that I have a personality
that I will be able to
relate to the children,
and that is supported by
my legal background
checks. I cannot be a convicted felon; I cannot
have any kind ofrecords.
So, it's a total character,
it's not just T know math
and I can teach.' It's not
how it works in the public school system in
said
Pennsylvania,"
Richards.
According to her, the
key to good teaching is
knowing your content,
knowing your students
and knowing how to
increase their achievement.
"My goal is to help
students be successful,
increase their learning.

-

That's what you are
there for," said Richards.
"You want to take your
desire for life-long learning and have them catch
this desire as well.
Learning doesn't just
happen in the classroom,
It happens in life."
According to Pamela
Temons, an LHU graduate who teaches biology/chemistry in Central
Mountain High School at
the moment, being a
teacher can be a great
experience which comes
with a great responsibility as you have much
influence on kids.
"I live for those days
and those moments when
I see that light bulb come
on. It is the biggest
thrill to see that my students understand something or that they get
excited
about
something," Temons said.
"That's what being a
teacher is really all
about - getting kids
excited about learning
and knowledge."
Temons recalls that
when she was younger,
she had no wish to
become a teacher, deal
with a classroom full of
kids and try to manage
their behavior, despite
growing up in an allteacher family. However,
as it turned out, she really enjoyed working with
the students and learned
easily how interact with
them successfully. The
only thing you cannot
learn is how to love kids
and be excited about

your job.
"I don't think you can
learn to be enthusiastic,
so if you don't have that
already, don't go into

teaching,"
advised.
Her least favorite part
is endless paperwork she
has to do everyday, such
as
having to grade
and
papers
record
grades.
"It's just sometimes
the paperwork just gets
exhausting, and sometimes it just takes the
fun out of teaching
because you have to
spend all your time on
those
things,"
said
Temons.
Her advice to all
future teachers is to be
humble and never come
to the point where you
think you know everything there is to know
about teaching or kids or
about your subject area.
"I think you need to go
into it with some humility because things are
always
changing,
whether it's your field of
study or our understanding of education and adolescent
minds," said
Temons. "You need to be
prepared to continue to
learn throughout your
life."

Spring 08 brings new fashion
Ladies, you are up
first.
One of the things that
tend to come with all fashion is a cycle.
With these cycles, different trends that
were once a hot
selling item i
come
back I
around and I
try to make it
again. But to
tell you the
truth,
some
things of the past
should stay in the
past.
This spring, one of the
things of the past has
finally come back around
on its fashion cycle; patterned tights.
We are all old enough
to remember wearing
them
to
elementary
school. I think I wore
them when I was in second or third grade, which
was in '92 and '93 and I
don't think I liked them
that much then.
These tights are very
colorful, some with different style patterns from
the top to the bottom.
Others are sheer black
with some design woven
in the tights.
Although our past
seems to have come back
to haunt us, favorites are
keeping us happy.
One of our favorites
that is here again and will
probably never die out is
flip flops.
It'8 only the second
week of April, and I've
already seen people wearing flip flops for about a
month.
Old Navy has some of
the best flip flops for a

great price.
As
stated
on
01dNavy.com, flip flops
range from $3 to $17.
Ashley Campion, senior, said that she just
bought her first pair of flip
flops this season.
"I went shopping at
Old Navy and bought a
pair of flip flops. They
have a different look and
design, but are practically
the same. I've only worn
them once so far. It's too
cold yet."
Another favorite that
seems to be filling the
stores is capris.
Capris are good for the
weather where it's not too
warm, but it's too warm
for jeans.
Campion said, "I wear
capris more than I wear
shorts. I think they are
more comfortable and I
can wear different shirts
with them."
The Fashion Bug in
Mill Hall, next to K-Mart,
has a variety of Gitano
capris.
Some of the capris
range in length. There are
the shorter capris and
there are also longer
styles of capris.
The colors vary from
tan, to black, to gray and
brown.
Colors that will be a
big part in this spring's
fashion are on two very
different scales.
On the one scale are
the deep, dark colors of
red, green and purple and
on the other scale, are
more pastel-like colors,
such as pinks, periwinkle
and yellow, as stated on
trendsetters.com.

It's spring! Finally, what we've all been waiting for

Fashion changes from season to season, but we can

favorites to return.

say go for it.
The cardigan gives off
a preppy boy look and if
you are going for that
then you should definitely hit up some stores
to buy one.
If you aren't so much
into the preppy boy look,
then I would stick with
the tees and polos
because you can't go
wrong with that look.
These are just some
of the different items
that you will be seeing
