Lock Haven University
has seen yet another
increase in student enrollment this fall, filling lecture classes and forcing
many students to room in
study lounges.
Although the increase
cannot be attributed to one
single effort, it is a reflection of the increase in
enrollment at colleges and
universities nationwide.
LHU Public Relations
Director Scott Eldredge
reported that 3,850 students are studying at LHU
this fall, with an additional
270 at LHU's Clearfield
campus and 160 enrolled in
the graduate programs,
totaling 4,280. These figures however, are not made
official until 21 days after
the beginning ofthe semester.

If the estimated figures
become official, LHU will
have seen an increase of
480 students from last year,
3,900
students
when
attending class broke the

previous record.
The increase raises
questions of where to
house incoming students.
This question is answered
through students who feel
they are not ready for the
transition from high school
to college or who transfer
to other schools.
of
LHU Director
Steven
Lee
Admissions
said the student population
increase is partially due to
students who are staying at
LHU longer to take more
classes and enroll in one of
the three graduate programs.
The pool of high school
seniors whom are pursuing
a college education is also
on the rise, especially in
the southeastern region of
Pennsylvania, such as
Bucks, Montgomery and
Philadelphia counties.
According to Lee, LHU
becomes attractive to students from these suburban
areas because of the quiet,
serene atmosphere of
Clinton County, which is a
stark contrast to the shopping centers and crowded
of the

Philadelphia area.
Students hailing from
the southeastern region are
typically graduates of high
schools with 400 or more
students in a grade level.
"Students are looking
for a more personalized
atmosphere at college and
choose schools such as
Lock Haven," said Lee.
LHU has recruiters

professor,
Darlene
Thomas, was

escorted out
of class by
police for
refusing to
teach three
basic anthropology courses for the
semester.

In short, the recording
industry's prosecution of pariah
Napster did nothing to halt
Internet music piracy. It has
fragmented and spread, like a
glass shattered against a tile
floor.
"After 15 months, other networks just stepped into
Napster's place," said Matt
Bailey, a senior analyst with
Webnoize, a Massachusetts
research firm covering digital
entertainment. The millions of
dollars in legal fees was a waste
of money for the recording
industry, he said.
"We know there will be a
certain amount of piracy online
and offline," said Amy Weiss,
Recording Industry Association
of American spokeswoman.
"We are not going to sue our
way through the Internet as we
do not believe that litigation is a
business model."
However, piracy is cutting
into the recording industry's
business. The sustained popularity of underground file-swapping services is eroding CD
sales, says Gartner's Batchelder.
Indeed, sales of albums and singles are down 5.4 percent for
the second quarter of the year,
according to SoundScan, a firm
that tracks retail record sales.
Batchelder predicts CD
sales will continue to decline
dramatically, with revenue off
20 percent by 2005.
"No amount of wishful
thinking on the part ofthe music
industry will stop this," said
Batchelder.
(EDITORS: STORY CAN
END HERE)
The recording industry
planned to use the legal precedents won in the Napster case to
combat Internet pirates and bide
time, as it prepares to launch
paid subscription services.
Two new ventures backed
by the record labels - MusicNet
and pressplay - are expected to
launch this month. But both
services have become mired in
licensing disputes with music
publishers that could postpone
their consumer introduction.
Even Napster plans to go
legit sometime this year, remaking itself as a paid subscription
service.
Analysts like Sinnreich
wonder whether the recording
industry has already lost the battle to the gray market.
"If the record labels put
together a well-priced, easy to
use service that has a broad catalog and a bunch of value-added
tools and technologies that an
underground service wouldn't
offer, then they have a business
that can become popular,"
Sinnreich said. "If they don't do
that... they're going to drive
consumers into the hands of the
gray market alternatives."
The record industry is not
about to surrender to pirates.
"Our member companies
have been offering music online
for consumers so fans can get
music when they want it and
how they want it," said RIAA's

SAN JOSE, Calif. More
people are trading more bootlegged music online than ever
before despite the recording
industry's relentless legal battle
to quash Internet piracy.
The industry successfully
shut down Napster, the rogue
site that popularized music
swapping, but new statistics
reveal that online music
exchange continues to grow. A
new generation of file-swapping
sites have risen up from the
Internet'underground to fill the
void.
"It's like playing whack-amole: You kill one of these
guys, and another one pops up
to take its place," said Rob
Batchelder, research director for
Gartner Dataquest, a technology
research firm in Stamford,
Conn.
Exact numbers are elusive,
but analysts estimate a record 15
million people downloaded
music online this summer - illicitly trading 3 billion songs in
August alone. That surpasses
the song-swapping binge that
followed a federal appeals court
ruling against Napster in
February. Fear that the music
free-for-all would stop brought
Napster's usage to its peak with 13 million people hoarding
billions of MP3s, the digital version of popular songs.
The courts ruled that anyone
downloading copyright material
without permission commits
theft. But the record labels' victory hasn't deterred the practice.

The online bootleg bonanza
isn't limited to music anymore.
Anyone with an Internet connection and a little patience can
download pirated movies,
including first-run films like
"American Pie 2." They can

popular novelists like Stephen
King. And, of course, they can
find enough porn to satisfy any
appetite.

The fastest-growing of these
new file-swapping services,
MusicCity's Morpheus and
KaZaA, have attracted 3 million
users since Napster introduced
new, more effective song-filtering in June, according to Jupiter
Media Metrix, a New York
research firm that tracks Internet
activity. Traffic on these services was too small to measure
before then.
Other popular bootleg sites AIMster, AudioGalaxy, iMesh

Drinking: always a problem
for college campuses
Sharif Durtiams
Milwaukee JournalSentinel
the
Administrators
of
WisconsinUniversity
Madison can tell you the stories:
Parents ask where their children
can get fake identifications.
Parents sneak cases of vodka
into dorm rooms, since their
kids might have a hard time getting the booze on their own.
Just last week, some parents
were caught drinking alcohol in
a UW-Madison residence hall.
So while an American
Medical Association survey
released August 29 indicates
that parents are highly concerned about binge drinking and
want universities and towns to
crack down on the practice,
there is still a small group of
parents and students who do not
see a problem and for whom it
may be getting worse.
"I suspect things like that are
happening everywhere in the
UW-Madison
country,"
Chancellor John D. Wiley said
of the incidents on his campus.
"People should realize there are
a variety of behaviors."
Nationally, the public seems
more aware that binge drinking
causes problems, and they're
more willing to see universities
and local governments take
action to curb it, the study says.
For instance, 95 percent of
parents surveyed nationally said
excessive drinking was a serious
threat to their children, and 85
percent said easy access to alcohol near colleges contributed to
the problem.
Almost all of the respondents - 93 percent - believe that
bars that don't train workers to
identify drunk or underage
patrons should be stripped of
their liquor licenses, and 78 percent believe that college towns
should be able to regulate alcohol sales to slow or stop binge

First year blues: Freshmen's angst Haven cadets

Tim Madigan
Knight Ridder Newspapers
As a college freshman a
quarter-century ago, my firstsemester

was a dorm room in the basement, next to a janitor's closet,
and away from almost everyone
else. I didn't care for my room-

lack of involvement with

with staff, is a significant
predictor of dropout"

passed thousands of anonymous
fellow students, all of whom
seemed to have eons of friends.
In late afternoons of my first
term, I began to dread mealtime
and the prospect of eating alone
once again in a crowded dormitory cafeteria.
Needless to say, the first
semester of my freshman year

was among the loneliest, most
miserable times of my life, misery compounded by the fact that
I was certain I was the only loser
at the University of North
Dakota who spent his Friday
nights alone in his room.
All these years later, I find
that this might not have been the
case after all. If statistics from
recent years hold, nearly one in
three freshmen enrolling this fall
at American colleges and universities will not return for their
sophomore year. And a leading
cause of that attrition, experts
say, is that same loneliness, that
same sense of isolation I felt in
my first year.
"This issue of isolation, or
lack of involvement with their
peers, with faculty, with staff, is
a significant predictor of
dropout," says Vincent Tinto of
Syracuse University, author of
"Leaving College: Rethinking
the Causes and Cures of Student
Attrition"
of
(University
Chicago, 1993). "That is why,
when talking about the issue, so
many people talk about building
communities of engagement or
communities of involvement."

Wes Habley, of ACT, the
Iowa-based education-information clearinghouse, puts it another way. By joining study groups,
the marching band, student government or the chess club, etc.,
college freshmen can "reduce
the psychological size of the
campus, establish a community
within a community," Habley
says. Students who fail to find
that niche, more so than those
who are too social (i.e., party too
much), are more likely to disappear from school during their
freshman year, or not return as
sophomores, he says.
Not that this phenomenon is
particularly new. Statistics on
this point have held fairly steady
for decades. Traditionally, only
40 percent of the students entering higher education in any
given year go on to earn degrees,
and most of the dropouts occur
during or soon after the fresh-

greatly depending on the type of
institution. The dropout rate at
leges is nearly half, for example,
while freshman attrition at the
most prestigious private schools
is 16 percent. (Ivy League
schools lose fewer than 10 percent of their students every
year.)

Despite those perennially
high attrition rates, student
retention strategies have only
recently become hot topics on
college campuses, Habley says.

great Shakespearean tragedy

Othello.
I know what you're thinking.
"Oh no! Not another dumbeddown classic to pander to the
teen audience!"
Relax. Director Tim Blake
Nelson (also an actor, he costarred in another "O" - the Coen
brothers' "O Brother, Where Art
Thou?") and screenwriter Brad
Kaaya approach the material
with passion, intelligence and an
awareness of the potential pitfalls. They take some license,
but manage to pare down the
running time to just over an hour
and a half without grossly oversimplifying.
"O" transposes action from
battlefield to basketball court. It
is not a strict Shakespearean
adaptation; the modern teens
don't speak the Bard's dialogue.
Instead of Othello, the general, we get Odin (Mekhi Phifer),
the floor general. And instead of

Mekhi Phifer and Julia
Stiles are two characters in this modern
adaption
Iago, a so-so soldier who is jealous of rival Cassio, we get Hugo
(Josh Hartnett), a so-so forward
who longs for the love and
praise that his father the coach
(Martin Sheen) showers upon
Odin and teammate Michael
(Andrew Keegan).
It's hard to believe this is the
same Josh Hartnett who seemed
so dull in "Pearl Har-bore." Here
his face contorts into a mask of
emotional conflict. He conveys
angst, joy, envy and cold-blooded manipulation with striking
subtlety and nuance.
Phifer provides deft counterpoint, demonstrating flashy
moves both on the court and off.

FRESHMAN
from page 6

What students don't come back.
Not that there are simple
solutions to what has proved to
be a complex problem.
"Everybody has an opinion.
Let's put it that way," Habley
says. "It's almost impossible to
say with any assurance what
causes the failure to complete
college."

■ The

dropout rate at
two-_year, communitybased colleges is nearly
half,, while freshman
attrition at the most prestigious private schools is
16%.
But anyone who has been a
college freshman and had to
confront the daunting cocktail of
transition that is the first year
has a good idea. Tom Kading, a
class of 2000 graduate from
Arlington, Texas, High School,
expected a college lark until he
walked into his freshman psychology class at the University
of Texas. Five hundred other
students had joined him in the
classroom.
"In high school, I never had
to put in much effort to get good
grades," says Kading, who did
not re-enroll at UT this fall,
though he plans to attend college
again in 2002. "I had a 4.0 in
high school and didn't have to do
anything. At college, you have
to be reading all the time, studying all the time, and the commit-

level was a lot higher. It
was overwhelming at times. I
wasn't ready."
The average student also
faces homesickness, potential
for alcohol abuse, problems with
money management to name
just a few ofthe first year's challenges. Millions of new college
students, isolated as I was in the
1970s, try to contend with these
problems alone, suffering in
their dorm rooms. Too often,
truncated college experiences
are the result, experts say.
The solution for college
freshmen seems simple. Join
something. But that can be asking too much of many college
freshmen, for whom creating a
study group or signing up for
intramural football can be highly
daunting tasks, experts say.
"If you come from a small
town in Texas, and you're going
to the University of Texas, your
skills for reaching out and interacting are probably dwarfed,"
Habley says.
Which puts the onus for
reaching out on the colleges and
universities, Habley and other
experts insist. The word they
often use when describing the
programs needed to help college
freshman is "intrusive." New
students need to get involved
with their peers, with the faculty,
with an adviser, whether they
feel comfortable doing so or not.
"It's too important to leave to
chance," says Lana Low, a consultant who helps universities

Sad news
for local
WWF fans
COLLEGE PARK -- The
World Wrestling Federation has
made a major business decision
of booking only live events in
markets which have UPN
(Smackdown) and TNN (Raw is
War) on their local cable channels.
Unfortunately, the Bryce
Jordan Center market does not
have
the
and
TNN channels on the
campus of
Penn
and the mm
Network in surrounding areas.
Because of this current situation, the popular World
Wrestling Federation will not
have a live event in Central
Pennsylvania anytime soon.
If you are a fan of the WWF
and would like to see a live
event in this area, contact your
local cable company about the
availability of both UPN and
TNN. Your voice matters!

In an effort to inform the
public, the Jordan Center has
created a headline area where
the most updated, late breaking
news will be announced. The
web site also has an email registration option that allows the
Jordan Center to communicate
faster and more efficiently with

all registered Jordan Center subscribers. These subscribers will
also receive emails that may
offer special ticket opportunities
or upcoming event information
that may not be available anywhere else.
With the new web site, the
Jordan Center has launched a

Fish Comission warns of oncoming snake season
Harrisburg— The farm-fresh
tomatoes, peppers and sweet
corn beckoning from roadside
stands are a sure sign that late
summer has arrived in the
Commonwealth. There's another
type of crop now appearing
across the state, showing up in
wetlands, woods and even basements. But unlike Pennsylvania
produce, this crop isn't in season
and shouldn't be taken home.
to
midMid-August
September is the peak of birth
and hatching for Pennsylvania's
native snakes. As a result, this
time of year is one of two periods when the average person is
most likely to encounter a
snake. (The other time is during
the warming days of early
spring when snakes first emerge
from their over wintering sites
and can be seen laying out in the
sun.) Some basic understanding
of snakes may alleviate the fear
of those who might fear them,
while a reminder about the law
is in order for those who might
be tempted to capture them.
Ofthe state's 21 native snake
species, more than half (12) produce live-born young; the

Pennsylvania's three
species give birth to live young
and are termed "ovoviviparous."
Litter size can range from 2-6
eggs laid by a female northern
ringneck snake to up to 40 or
more live young produced by arl
eastern garter snake.

Just as the number of baby

snakes varies from species to
species, so does size. A justhatched baby ringneck snake
will be between 5-6 inches long
and smaller in diameter than a
pencil. Larger species such as
black rat snakes and timber rattlesnakes produce young, which
measure between 10-12 inches
at birth.
Upon birth or hatching,
young snakes may either congregate together in areas near
where they were born, or they
may immediately strike out on
their own and disperse into the
surrounding environment. This
dispersal activity is what usually
causes them to be noticed by
people.
Many of the species that
have adapted to life near
humans, select man-made or
altered nest or birthing sites.

because they are looking around
for appropriate places to live,
and also because of their small
size tend to get into houses,
basements, garages and other
occupied buildings. A snake the
size of a pencil can squeeze
through the tiniest of cracks
under a door or in a wall or
foundation.
As a result, inquiries to the
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commission, the state agency
with management jurisdiction

over reptiles and amphibians,

about snakes in the house rise
dramatically at this time of year.
"When people come into
contact with snakes, often their
first instinct is to harm or kill the
unsuspecting creature. Although
there is usually a certain degree
of fear associated with such an
encounter, there shouldn't be.
That's because the majority of
snakes encountered by people
are non-venomous, harmless
and beneficial," said Andrew
Shiels, leader of the
Commission's Nongame and
Endangered Species Unit. Shiels
said that in Pennsylvania the
species most commonly found
in or around buildings are the
black rat snake, eastern milk
snake, and the northern ringneck
snake, none of which are venomous and in fact serve useful
purposes in controlling pests.
While some species do produce large numbers of young,
predation and other forces will,
over time, reduce the number of
animals that survive to adulthood to a population level that
can be supported by the available habitat and food supply,
Shiels pointed out.
"Thus, seeing a brood of
thirty newborn garter snakes
does not result in that many
more snakes around the house or
yard in future years. This
knowledge should help people
to put their observations of
snake litters into perspective and
reduce fears that they will be
soon 'overrun' with snakes."
Still, it is understandable
that when snakes are discovered
near or in a dwelling, people
seek a quick way to remove it.

The Cynical Woodsman
Damon Lowell
The Eagle Eye
So here we are...back to
school, and for some of us, at
college for the first time. I see a
lot of new faces as my eyes
wander around campus, and 1
think the most common thing
we hear from everyone this time
of year is, "How was your summer?"
So, how WAS your summer
anyway? Now I'll ask a question that the Woodsman always
is asking...did you get a chance
to enjoy the great "ole outdoors
over the summer break?
Because if you didn't get outside
this summer, well, between you
and me...this is the best season
to do it.
Why you ask? Well kids, I'll
tell you why. Because it's fall!
That's why! The bugs are thinning out, the foliage is about to
start looking real good, and with
the temperatures dropping, it's
just darn good sleeping weather.
Why I was crawling through
the woods just the other night
not far from here, lugging my
backpack to the top of a big hill,
and the wind was blowing all
kinds of little berries, nuts, and
acorns off the trees and down to
the ground, and well, quite
frankly, it was pretty darn chilly
too...it felt good! After all,
everyone knows the Woodsman
likes cold weather. Anyway, I
even had to put on a hat to keep
my little 'ole ears warm.
All kinds of time passed by
as I gazed at the surrounding
natural splendor, and 1 just sat
right there under a big black
cherry tree as the wind blew it's
small fruit down on my camp
and on my head whilst I sat
there and tended my campfire.
'N after a tasty dinner of hot
soup, wild black cherries, Cheddar cheese, and the Woodsman's

famous pesto chicken pasta
(MM MMMM!), I put out my
fire and crawled into my tent.
Boy oh boy, what a good night

sleep that was!
1 can't say this very often,
because even the Woodsman
does a little tossing and turning
when sleeping on the trail, but
by the time 1 opened my eyes
for the first time, it was going on
10 a.m. the next morning. Let
me tell you now, sleeping in a
tent is one of my favorite things
on this whole planet to do.
Heck, it even ranks up there
with opening my first present on
Christmas morning!
But anyway, I got out ofmy
sleeping bag, moseyed out of
my tent, had me some campfire
pancakes with real-deal maple
syrup, scrambled egg and
cheese pitas, then broke down
my camp with thoughts of good
grades, fresh faces, and new
classes rolling around my
head...and I was feeling so
good and refreshed from good
camping that I didn't hardly
mind!
Now 1 know that there's a
bunch of you out there who
don't care for camping much,
but there's all kinds of other
things you can be doing out

there to enjoy the crisp autumn

weather that's sure to be rolling

one of the top 10 bicycle tours

It's good to be back in beautiful central PA. I love the feeling I get when the nearby
mountains I have grown to love
begin to surround me. It's
funny; I never thought I would
be thinking thoughts like that.
Four years ago when my
parents dropped me off for the
first time, I cried my eyes out.
Mom always did so much to
make me feel "at home." When
I came to Lock Haven, I wanted
nothing more than for her to be
with me and make me feel at
home.

Over the years I realized
that home really is where the
heart is. I don't mean that my
heart is back in Scranton (my
hometown). I mean that wherever you take your heart, it is
home. If you didn't already, do
your best to make Lock Haven
special to you. Put your heart
into finding your place here and
you will surely be home.
I just want to say good luck
to all the freshman in finding
your own niches. I can't stress
enough that the first few weeks

are crucial to your future here.
Wise decisions now will insure
a solid foundation in your newfound home.
If there is anything any student wants to know about the
university or surrounding area,
please drop me a line. My
name is Jeremy Connor and this
is my fifth year here, so I know
a lot about the place. My extension is 3817 and 1 would love to
hear from you. If I'm not in,
leave a message.
I have also been elected as
the outing club VP and urge you
to get involved. If you haven't
spent much time in the outdoors
and would like to see what it is
all about, then this club is for
you. If you are an avid outdoorsman, this club is a must.
If you have leadership experience of any kind, we need you.
All students, staff and faculty
are invited to our kickoff cookout on Sunday at 12 p.m. at
Hanna park. If you plan on
attending, call me. Good luck
this semester, and hope to see
you there.

LHU's Dizdarevic Named PSAC
Men's Soccer Player of the Week
Zlatko Dizdarevic, a men's
soccer player for Lock Haven,

was

selected

as
the
Athletic
Conference Player of the Week
for all games ending Sept. 3.
The sophomore forward
played a major role in Lock
Haven's team title-winning performance at this past weekend's
University
Bloomsburg
Tournament, netting four goals
and three assists. Dizdarevic
scored twice and added two
assists in a 5-0 victory over

Bioomfieid College, and had a
pair of goals and an assist in the
season-opening 5-0 win over

Dizdarevic earned Second

season. He led the 2000 Bald
Eagles in goals (10) and points

We judge coaches every day.
We argue with friends over
what we might do if we wore
their shoes. We would play this

We correct coaches off the

We would "recruit better
athletes," or we would "steer
clear of convict-athletes."
We critique coaches' media

We would "speak softly and

What would we do if that

without worry or guilt?
As if Friday night marked
the beginning a new season one that will be eyed closely by
a nation willing to condemn,
maybe more so, than forgive us
for the death of a young man
under our watch.
So what if others, even the
likes of Bobby Bowden and
Steve Spurrier, suffered through
similar tragedies within the last
year.
It all comes back to us, no
matter the details.
How would we grieve? How
would we explain our grief, to
the parents of Rashidi Wheeler,
to his teammates, to the world?
How would we deal with
those who hold us accountable,
those who hurt with us, those
judging us by every word we
say? How would we deal with
our own souls?

hour flight away? Are we wor-

ried what kind of blitzes UNLV
might use on Friday night?
Here's the bottom line, and
this is where we break up from
the water-cooler and go back to
our day jobs, leaving Randy
Walker alone, as he was all
along, to solve his own problems.

He has to care. He has to
persevere. He has to continue to
prepare his team.
Call it war. Call it show

neither. For Randy Walker - and
any other coach who but for the

We don't know what's going

It's a lot bigger than football,

offenses that ran like Pentium 4s

conditioning regimens used to
make the boosters proud. It's a
bit of a touchy subject these
days.

But we know he's accountable to the family, the
staff, the players and fans who

So he must care.
Privately, he might cry for

has to say the show must go on.
Even if it's not a show.
Not for us.
