Spiritu

Volume 60 Issue 11

ty relieves stress or many

Stephanie LaSota
Staff Reporter
Many students at LHU are
integrating spirituality into their
lives in an effort to help themselves relax, stay focused and
stay calm in the midst of overwhelming stressors.
Stress is something that no
college student can escape.
Students are bombarded with
heavy academic loads, jobs, club
and sports activities, and family
and friend relationships that
need to be maintained.
Clarifying your values and
developing a sense of spirituality is one of the most important
stress-management techniques,
according to a brochure published by the University of
Florida C ounseling Center.
It notes that a sense of spirituality is beneficial because people, especially students, are constantly growing anil developing
a sense of self and ideas about
how they want to live. Because
stress is often caused by unhappmess or a feeling of lack of purpose or worth, developing spiritual beliefs can help you feel
better about yourself and have
that sense of satisfaction and
centeredness that helps you deal
with the stresses of life.
Angela Smith, sophomore
and president of Full Gospel, a
Christian group on campus, says
thai her goals, values, decisions,
actions, words, dress code,
music, work ethic and political
position are all guided by the
Word of God.
"Stress helps drive us, like a
push from behind to go farther.

Members of New Life Student Fellowship are among the many groups
of students who rely on a higher power to be a big influence on their life.
But. if it controls you, it is bad."
said Smith. "The Bible says
'come to Me you who are weary
and heavy laden and I will give
you rest' and 'there will be tribulations in the world, but be a
good cheer, 1 have overcome the
world.'"
Husband and wife David and
Brenda Haines, alumni of LHU
and current residents of Clinton
County, are both involved with
the hull Gospel Christian group
on campus and can relate to
young Christian college students
dealing with stress.
"We feel that the students
today have more stress than

when we went to college.
Students are encouraged to be
involved with more activities,"
said David.
Brenda encourages students
to develop a balance between
school work and play and to talk
with close friends and spiritual
leaders that are going to encourage you and help you through
the tough times.
"In I Peter 5:7 [God] says
'casting all your care upon Him
for He cares for you,'" said
Brenda, quoting the Bible. "He
will help you though stress when
you look to Him and trust in
Him."

Holiday season, among many
things, means fabulous feasts.
On December 7. Bentley Hall
will be no different than being at
home for the holidays.
President Keith Miller has
come up with another way to
reach out to the student body, this
time creating the "Holiday
Student Appreciation Dinner."
From 4:30-7:30. Bentley Hall
will transform into a holiday
style buffet dinner. The other
interesting twist to the feast is
that the servers and bus people
will be LHU Faculty and Staff
members. So while you're enjoying your traditional Christmas
dinner, you could share holiday
stories with some ofyour favorite
professors.
"I'm very excited because it
gives us faculty and staff memanother way ofcontinuing ti

connect with the students." said
Miller.
The dinner will not require
any additional charge for the students; just a routine swipe of
your ID. However, even those
without a meal plan are encouraged to attend
So far around 80 faculty and
staffmembers hav e signed on for
the new initiative. Miller has
done this in the past at other universities, and it was received as a
success by all.
"I think it will be a interesting
experience,'' said junior Tricia
Hoekam
Amy Bechdel. Catering
Manager for Sudexho. is still
fine-tuning the details of seating
and where the buffet line will go.
The menu is set. though. The traditional baked ham. roast turkey,
stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet
potatoes, and cranberry sauce
will be served. However, rest

will
cooking the meals.

Many students feel that their
fellow collegians may be turning
to the wrong forms of stress
reducing activities.
"Students use drugs and
alcohol because it allows them
to feel good," said sophomore
Ange Spickler. "Negative effects
I see are addictions and [a] drop
in school work or participation."
Spickler encourages students
to use spirituality as a stress
reducer. She says Clod provides
a comfort when no one else
knows how you really feel.

Controversy rises over provacative display in Stevenson Library window
Lindsay Johnson
Co-Editor in Chief
A display window outside
Stevenson Library last week
caused controversy among students and reaffirmed the display
creator's feeling that this campus needs a liberal sexual education club.
Del Sellers decorated a window along the side ofthe library
last Tuesday morning with a
dildo. condoms, vibrators and a

inciting interest in the club he is

there was objectionable material displayed, there had been
some complaints about it, and
that the club is not yet approved
by the S.C.C. as a campus
organization as reasons for taking it down.

"When we were setting up
the display, there were probably
five people who said it was
interesting and only about three
who said it was disgusting,"
Sellers said. "1 told our initial
members that it was going to be

hot and heavy at first, though."
"A girl came up to me and
said that she and some other
people were fighting [the] club.
I couldn't believe it." said
Hunter.

complained to [Ward], and she
didn't know what else to do,"
added Sellers. He also noted
that he had been prepared for
resistance and had talked to an
American Civil Liberties Union
lawyer about freedom of speech
and a contact at the National
Association for Sexual Freedom
for tips before putting up the
display.
Sellers made an informal
call to Dr. Linda Koch, Vice
President of Student Affairs, in
which she told him that the concept ofthe club is not in dispute,
but that the members should
check with the club's advisor
before they put up displays that
might be offensive or harassing.
"I didn't see the display
myself," said Dr. Koch. "But a
student approached me and
expressed concern about the
display. From my understanding, there was probably a better
way for the club to express their
educational message, and not
shock value." •
Sellers also said that it was
suggested by Dr. Fulton that
they should have put note cards
in front of the items explaining
what they are and what they are
used for,, to go along with the
club's educational theme. Dr.

Fulton was not available for
comment at press time.
"I don't know if people are
afraid of difference or if it is the
way they believe or were
brought up." said Hunter. "I
know that there are some people
who find that type of discussion
or activities a bit disturbing. But
I think that is it a very good idea
for college students to be aware
of the things that are out there,
whether they agree or not. It
isn't up to a few students who
disagree with it to say that no
one should be able to learn or
talk about such things."
"Our main purpose is to
facilitate healthy adult sexual
discussion,"
said
Sellers.
"People can come to our meetings and discuss various topics
and learn about things. In other
countries in Europe these types
of discussions are open and
frank, and therefore educational. Yet. in America we wonder
and giggle about various topics
in sex, but we do not discuss
them in an open and educational manner. Whether you participate in some of those activities
that we're discussing or not.
that's your prerogative. But we
at least want to educate and
spread knowledge."

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.
to
Interim
According
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 ofthe biggest things is
to 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.
The task-force will create a
report, acknowledging the programs pros and cons, which is
expected to be submitted to Dr.
Miller by January 21, complete
with a
whether or not the plan should
be implemented.
If the Student Technology

would be the first university in
the Pennsylvania State System
to establish such a program.
"In the PA State system we
will be the leader," Hossain said.
"We will pave the road for other
universities."
If implemented, the program
would likely be phased in slowly. It may even begin as an
experimental project with only
certain majors. Recommending
that incoming freshmen purchase them is also a possibility,
according to Hossain.
To deter large bills, cost of
the computers could be built
into students' loan packages,
according to Hossain. This
would ease some financial burden.
In addition, included hardware and software packages
could help students acquire the
needed programs while preventing them from purchasing that
which isn't necessary.
"Students will be accepted in
the university with or without
the lap-top," Hossain explained,
"but we will strongly recommend that students have them."
There are a lot of questions
currently up in the air, according
to Hossain, but "[the task-force
hopes] to address all those possible problems before initiating
the project."
"The idea itself is a great
one. but even a great idea has to
be planned to make sure it stays

a colleague. "Why take pains
to learn a foreign language
when foreigners speak them so
well?" he said.
Gary believes that the most
adequate method for articulation between cultures is
through the comprehension of
linguistics.
"Scholars don't mention linguistic issues when dealing
with the EU's issues," said
Gary. He advocates the requiring of university students to
take courses in language, followed by examinations to verify proficiency. Such education
would more adequately inform
the masses and give people a
better idea ofthe importance of
linguistic diversity in Europe
and the world.
According to the Unesco,

Georges Gary, associate
professor of US literature and
civilization at the University of
Haute-Alsace in Mulhouse,
France spoke to students and
faculty about the diverse state
of languages in the European
Union Wednesday night in

"The European Union is
extremely liberal," he said.
Gary believes this fact has
played a major part in the
maintenance of diversity in the
EU members' 20 official languages. "There is a precious
little about linguistic policies
in the Union's treaties."
Shortly into the lecture,
Gary amused the attendees
with the unforgettable words of

ing at an alarming rate.
Estimates indicate that one language dies somewhere in the
world every two weeks as a
result of the proliferation of
more dominating languages.
"Gary was very well
informed as to what was going
on," said Sophomore Sara
Brunner. "He seemed like the
kind of guy that you could just
walk up to and ask a question."
With a cumulative population just under 455 million. 45
percent of the European Union
is capable of speaking a foreign
language according to Gary.
"German is the most widespread native language. More
than 30 percent of EU citizens
were raised speaking German,"
said Gary. Native speakers of
English account for 16 percent
of European Union citizens,
but 31 percent have learned to

making it the most frequently
spoken language in the
European Union.
"It's all just amazing to
me," said Brunner in response
to the lecture. "It did surprise
me how he described the multitudes of people who are working in the European Council to
help with interpreting."
Hamblin
International
Auditorium was filled to an
estimated 75% of its capacity.
Following Gary's one-hour lecture, a short discussion period
was allotted to the audience to
address and clarify any concerns.
According to Gary, because
of the lack of an official language, the EU, a supranational
organization made up of 25
European nations, is "condemned to diversity."

and not only brighten their
day, but yours as well. This is
part of your purpose. If you
are feeling good do not keep it
all to yourself.
One student. Kristina
Nayda, a freshman Special
Education major, said, "I
thought Aric was one of the
most outgoing, enthusiastic
and uplifting people I have
ever came across. He made
some of the best and truest
points ever; he made you think
and helped me out with a lot of
things in life."
Another student, Jade

a
freshman
Bio/Chem major, had similar

feelings. "My thoughts on Aric
Bostick's motivational speech
were nothing but positive. He
reached out to lend his hand,
but what he really did was
touch our hearts."
Almost everyone who listened to Aric Bostic left with
something, but for those who
missed out on this enlightening activity, he wanted them to
know. "Live your dreams in

not a human being having a

presentation on "How to be a
VIP in the Game of Life." The
event, hosted by the campus
PA-SWAT (Students Working
Against Tobacco) group,
enabled students to learn the
three tools everyone needs to
know to be successful.
Aric Bostick, a former high
school teacher from Texas,
overcame many obstacles in
his own life that left him feeling like he had to show others
in similar situations that it is
possible to succeed despite the
environment a person grows
up in. As of last year when he
became a full-time motivational speaker, he has been traveling across the country sharing
his story and secrets to
achievement in life.
He began by making sure
that everyone knew, "success
is not a sometimes thing. It's
an all the times thing."
Amidst the jokes and
laughter which he employed to
involve the audience, he
defined that a VIP is someone
who has a clear vision for the
future, a strong self-identity,
and knows his or her purpose
in life. He discussed various
methods ofreaching this status
such as making dream collages, with actual pictures so
that the goals a person aspires
towards are always right in
from of them.
At one point in the presentation, while trying to describe
how to achieve a positive selfidentity, he ripped off his shirt
exposing a Superman costume
fully equipped with a cape. He
then said, "Let people's words
just bounce off of your chest
like the Man of Steel."

(COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)

You might be comfortable in
the armor. You might wield the
arm cannon with devastating
precision. And you might even
be a master at maneuvering the
Morph Ball. Yet nothing you've
encountered has prepared you
for the edge-of-your-seat adventure of "Metroid(R) Prime 2
Echoes," launching today exclufor
Nintendo
sively
GameCube(TM).
"Not only is this the most
graphically beautiful and intellectually challenging 'Metroid'
adventure ever," says George
Harrison. Nintendo ofAmerica's
senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications, "but the game also, for the
first time, lets up to four players
compete to determine the best
bounty hunter ofall."
"Metroid Prime 2 Echoes,"
developed by Retro Studios,
continues one ofthe most fabled
franchises in interactive entertainment and is a sought-after
title for the holidays. The firstperson shooter chronicles the
adventures of Samus Aran, the
baddest bounty hunter in the
galaxy, as she blasts her way
through a planet that's been split
into light and dark halves.
The deep, single-player storyline begins as Samus finds
herself trapped on a mysterious
planet, populated by creatures of
both light and darkness. She
must bolster her suit's power to
battle enemies and solve puzzles, all while a hostile entity
stalks her. Players explore the
environment using new scanning equipment and new
weapons that yield different
results, depending on the type of
enemy. Players use the new
Light Beam and Dark Beam, as
well as staples of the "Metroid"
arsenal like the Morph Ball,

Grapple Beam and Missile
Launcher.
In the game's multiplayer
mode, up to four players don
metal suits to try to blast their
opponents into oblivion. Jump
and shoot to find special powerups or roll away from a punishing attack.
The original "Metroid(R)
Prime" was named the 2003
first-person action console
action game of the year by the
Academy of Interactive Arts &
Sciences, and "Game of the
Year" by the International Game

Instant messenger etiquette

Real drama beats
out television drama

Daniella De Luca
Opinion Editor

I

It's a Sunday night, and the
volume is turned all the way up
•on my computer. I hear a series
of doors opening, the traditional
\sound setting for those logging
onto instant messenger.
; After taking a brief stroll
down the hallway to visit some
friends, I heard a series of other
"doors opening and closing,
phone ringers, and even cows
mooing. Right away, I know that
people are returning to school
(and the internet) after another
weekend in the semester is
drawing to a close.
It is perhaps the most widely
I
used form of communication on
college campuses nationwide
because it is convenient, quick
and there are very few limitations. Well, that's not really true.
Instant messenger users do
follow an unwritten, loose set of
guidelines while logged onto
whatever screen name fits their
fancy at the moment. Letters
combined with numbers and
other acronyms are what make
up AOL Instant Messenger
(AIM).
Perhaps the most valuable
.AIM etiquette lesson is the away
message. Users should put an
away message up if they will be
away from their keyboard for an
extended period of time. An
away message is not always necessary, for instance, if the person
;J who is using the away message

•

is still in the room, just not at
their computer.
Creative away messages are
also a must, and a variety is
always preferred. The default "I
am away from my computer."
gets old afterawhile. Those who
spend large amounts of lime on
the internet, reading friends'
away messages hate seeing the
same things over and over again.
Away messages are meant for
just that, being away. Basically,
don't put one up and drive to
Canada. If you're going to be
gone for longer than 12 hours,
you should just log off. Give
your computer a rest for a
change. Who knows, you might
have a few people actually call
you on the telephone, wondering
why you aren't logged online, of
course, and if you ever made it
to Canada.
The part about instant messaging that is most controversial
has to be saying goodbye. Some
prefer to just say "bye," (because
the majority of us type in all
lowercase for speedy messages
and responses) while others
carry the goodbye on for four
lines or more with "g2g" (it
means "got to go" for the
acronym illiterate), "i'll ttyl,"
(talk to you later), "bbs," or
"bbl," (be back soon/later)
"byez," (because it's socially
acceptable in the Internet world
to add z's and other random letters at the end of words). Still,
others just log off or put an away
message up to signify the ending

ofan online conversation, which
I'll admit I have been guilty of
doing before.
Another activity some are
guilty of is what some like to
call away message watching. If
you are an away message watcher, you sit at your computer
scrolling up and down your
buddy list and read people's
away messages as you see them
change. You never dare to leave
a message though, oh no. This is
an easy way of seeing what your
friends are doing: "Dinner."
"Working," "Be Right Back."
Or. it is an easy way to see that
they obviously don't want anyone to know where they are. A
good hint of this is when you see
song lyrics, quotes, or just a
message saying simply, "Away."
Pssst, it means they're not there.
Oh, and try not to start a conversation with, "Hey! What's
up?" then wait with anticipation
for their response. Obviously,
it's a lot because they didn't say
hi to you first. Chances are, the
person you messaged ignored
you anyway. If you can't come
up with something clever to say,
then why did you even send
them the message in the first
place? If you are someone who I
see on a daily basis, or if you
live in the same building as I do,
there really isn't a reason to ask
what's up. If you are a friend,
you'll already know. Being bombarded with messages saying the
same thing gets old really fast.
Grab someone's attention by

starting your next conversation
out with something a little more
exciting orrandom.
For those who have 100 or
more people on theirbuddy lists,
sometimes it is a challenge to
remember who is who since all
the names are different. A few
times I've caught myself talking
to friends in person, and thinking of their screen name in my
head. Screen names could represent an inside joke, a nickname,
lucky number, birthday or
anniversary date and the list
continues to grow. The screen
name possibilities are endless.
So, whatever your instant
messaging style is, be polite and
considerate of the people that
you are talking to. I'm out. ttyl!

Dear Editor,

I just read that CBS is apologizing for cutting short CSI:NY
by five minutes to let America know the Yasser Arafat had died.
It seems to me when there is five minutes left in a show that
everything for that episode is wrapped up unless it is a two partner. But should CBS apologize? Most of the time they're a credible news source and the U.S. does have interest in what is going
on between the Palestinians and the Israelis. I mean we do want
peace between them, but I guess the end credits and a few com*mercials are more important then the lives of the Israelis and
Now I am not bashing CSI:NY because I have never seen it,
so I can't say anything about it, but I would like to think that people can stop worrying about their shows for five minutes and
think that a leader to so many people has just died.
When Princess Di died we had coverage on her death. There
were shows taken off the air so we here in the United States could
see she had died. She wasn't really a world leader like Yasser. She
wasn't leader ofthousands, possibly millions ofpeople who were
fighting for their own nation. But we saw it all, from her wrecked
car to her funeral and still in tabloids today, but the most that will
happen to Yasser is we will see some coverage and then maybe a
few tabloid articles. But why did CBS apologize? CBS wanted to
wait until all their programming was over with and have local
news bring it to you. Well that is all well and good but local news
doesn't reach 16.7 million people.
A good percentage of those people go to bed or do something
else or watch something else before or instead of their local news.
I don't think any other stations broke from their shows to tell us,
the only one ofthe major stations that doesn't have a 24 hour news
station is ABC (unless I am wrong). But all of the major network
could have broken from their sitcoms and reality shows to tell the
U.S. Yasser Arafat is dead. In my opinion, I can give up five minutes of my life to learn that a world leader is dead. Personally
those five minutes would have been wasted away on something
stupid.

Arafat's death could lead to deaths of

terrorist^

Dear Editor,
Hurray! Another militant Muslim dies! Yassar Arafat died ofa brain hemorrhage last week. In passing goes a terrorist, a dictator, a pathological liar,
the inventor of Hamas, Palestinian Liberation Front, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, etc., a violent embezzler who stole tens of billions of money from
Palestinians, and an evil Palestinian who purposely kept the Palestinians as a refugee people so that he could have the racist political weapon (which the
UN uses for itself, too) ofblaming Jews for the lack ofa Palestinian state. Tens ofthousands ofJews died due to terrorism through Arafat from the PLO
and other terrorist erouDs.
He also pursued power through a military dictatorshipas Palestinian government. Yet, all theliberal news media praise Arafatas a dove and a poor
victim ofthe evil land grabbing Jews. Arafat was so powerful...because he appealed to Muslim's "character"...that even the Ficnch doctorsand others were
playing politics whileArafat was dying: first saying he was OK and going home (while he was unconscious); then refusing to say anything ofhis condition while it deteriorated quickly; then telling the world very lately that he was dead.
The UNrecognized him as a legitimate leader and gave him political cover fire untilhe died. The UN observed a minute ofsilence for him. Meanwhile
the UN exposed itself as a world-wide anti-Semite conglomerate after having condemned Israel more than 1,000times since 1948, when Israel became
a state. That's much more than the times the UN "condemned" Iran, USSR, China and Syria and others-combined. All ofthose countries are terrorist
slates or Communists. You would think such nasty ideologies would have been verbally condemned or stopped by the UN. IF the UN weren't Liberal,
that is. It's too bad the death ofa militant Muslim leader didn't lead to the death ofmillions oftheir followers (remember 9-11; remember Israel). Satan is
waiting for you with your 72 virgins.

The George W. Divide: The state of the U.S. stands
Joe Melber
Guest Columnist
After the election. Bush
bashing is again all the rage. All
throughout the campus all I've
been hearing is a continued
divide in national politics. This
however is not just a debate
heard round campus, but also in
the nation's eye, the divide is as
deep as it has ever been just after
an election.
Although there has been
plenty of talk of healing the
country on the news, in papers,
and even by the men who created it, it still looms. The simple
point is that though you may not
like the decision ofthe country,
it stands. With that in mind I put
forth this article with a couple
contributions that may keep
readers from moving to Canada
(a trend which has really seemed
to pick up).
During Bush's presidency
one of the most commendable
aspects of his policies is their
effects on the economy.
Although it may be argued by
many that tax cuts for the rich
are a "not nice" policy, it set the
economy back on track. These
tax cuts brought on the level of
savings that only the rich could
afford and thus not only brought
the recession to a close rather

early but lessened the impact of
the recession as well. No matter
the attacks on the major deficit
spending brought on by his first
four years, Bush has kept the
economy on track regardless of
the tossing away of spending
caps left from the Clintonian
era.
Another less controversial,
but still major step, during the
Bush administration has been
the passing of the No Child Left
Behind act. Since its implementation schools have received
additional funding according to
their ability to live up to the
standards of the legislation.
Almost no opposition was seen
for its passing, yet now it is
being challenged by Democrats
as needing reform saying that
the act is simply not strong
enough. No need to be worried
though, for Bush has explicitly
said that funding will be
increased for the No Child Left
Behind act by 500 billion dollars. The expectations from
Democrats ofthis happening are
low, but hopes are up and if proposed ideas are followed up, it
will result in a much more effective act.
In addition to the recovery
brought on by Bush's presidency, the recovery of the job market also made a recovery, unlike

what most liberal media may
want you to think. During the
recession and directly after 9/11,
the economy made an understandable turn for the worse.
Despite this, the year following
the attacks made a decent recovery in the job market with 1.7
million jobs being brought back.
This is a testament to economic
thought and shows that the
incumbent party is not so much
to blame for the state of the job
market, but rather the normal
fluctuations that happen day to
day in the macro economy.
Although these were some
obvious successes of Bush's (at
least as objective experts would
tell you), it's more pivotal to
look at his policy in fields with
more importance in which his
resolve is strongly debated.
Though these arc numerous, I
lack the breath under constraints
oflength, and shall go ahead and
prioritize by picking the most
controversial ofthese things, the
war in Iraq.
Understood now by any nonbrainwashed individual, Iraq
was purely and simply a mistake. However, taking the event
of entering Iraq in context, it
was supported world wide to go
in and take Saddam out of
power; the choice by the president was to establish the United

States further as a world military
power. Another debated topic
on Iraq is how to get out,
although many
supported
Kerry's measures to leave unfinished business in Iraq, our president proposes to stay as long as
it takes to reestablish Iraq. I for
one fully support this action as
the current religious gang warfare lends its self to being perfect ground work for a tyrannical despot, though I'll let others
make their own assertions about
that.
Finally, I must point out the
most obvious and repeated reason to support Bush and that is
simply, he won. Bush won with
a slim margin of victory in the
Electoral College (as we know
now, it all came down to Iowa),
but an even larger margin in the
popular vote. Therefore my
assertion is the same as that
which has been made by all the
news stations, and Kerry and
Bush alike; this country has to
come together, not as Democrats
or Republicans,
but as
Americans, for in four years, we
can bicker again.

With the end of the semester near, how do you
deal with stress?

Embrace the unknown
Lindsay Johnson
Every day is different, a
chance to experience something
new. Every person that passes
you on your way to class is a
potential friend, or at the very
least a potential teacher. So why
don't we go after every opportunity we have to learn something
new?
Okay, I'll tell you. It's called
fear. Fear is what holds us back
from learning, and more than
that, it holds us back from
embracing, uniting and making
this world a better place.
of anything new neophobia
ofchange tropophobia
or metathesiophobia
ofknowledge gnosiophobia or epistemophobia
of learning sophophobia
ofthinking phronemophobia
As college students, we have
a unique opportunity to set our
fears aside and learn about anything and everything that strikes
our fancy or piques our interest.
Yet, this particular university
community seems to be lacking
in that area.
We like to think that we are
an integrated and diverse community, but how much do we
really explore that? The numbers tell the best story.

-

-

-

-

In our Black Student Union,
with a total of around 25 members, only 6 are not AfricanAmerican. If you want to get
really picky, there are only 2
non-colored members.
The Gay-Straight Alliance
has about 22 members. They
don't require their members to
reveal their sexual identities, but
considering they encourage
homosexuals, heterosexuals,
and those who aren't yet decided
to join their ranks, don't you
think we all fit into one of those
categories?
The
Latino
Student
Association, formerly known as
S.A.L.S.A., boasts about 15
members, and an impressive 1/3
of them are not of Latino
descent. This was the most
diverse group I found.
Student
The
Asian
Association carries about 10
members this year, and only 2 of
them are not ofAsian descent.
My point here is not to say
that the majority should take
over these minority organizations. They have a right to exist
as they are.
But, I'm under the impression that they all encourage anyone and everyone to get
involved, regardless of race,
ethnicity, or sexual identity. A
big part of the goal of these
organizations is to educate the
majority about what it's like to
be a part of that particular
minority group. But how can
they educate us if we don't come

their meetings and events?
I'm just as guilty as the next
person. Other than a few random events here and there sponsored by these organizations, I
haven't really made that step,
either, to get to know people
who are different from me. But
these clubs are the perfect outlet
for that.
Regardless of your race, ethnicity or sexual identity, step out
ofyour clique and your comfort
zone. The world is a big place,
and you can't live in a bubble
forever. Open your mind.
Expand your circle of friends.
Embrace the unknown.

Now that Attorney General
John Ashcroft and Secretary of
State Colin Powell have
resigned, citizens around the
country are holding their breath
while awaiting the replacements.
When it comes to Ashcroft,
it seems that anyone would be
better. Ashcroft is the same
attorney general who imprisoned thousands without trials,

helped craft the Patriot Act and
isn't shy about his support ofthe
big media conglomerates in the
file-sharing wars.
Ashcroft also covered the
Department of Justice's statue of
Lady Justice because he was
offended by her bare breast.
That act came to be a simple
metaphor for the rest of his controversial tenure.
President Bush has appointed White House Counsel
Alberto Gonzales to replace

-

In the early hours of
Wednesday, November 03, following the precarious and prolonged process oftallying up the
results of Tuesday's elections, it
was announced that George W.
Bush would remain in the Oval
Office for another four years.
Although, this should not have
come as a surprise given that the
election appeared to have been
swaying in Bush's favor
throughout the latter part of the
process, 1 found myself in a
state of desperate denial; hoping
that Ohio, resulting from some
obscure technicality would alter
from Red to Blue. Nevertheless,
the people spoke and their
choice for commander-in-chief
was clear and incontrovertible.
In addition to Bush's victory, the
Republican Party not only maintained their majority in both
houses of congress, but they
gained four more seats in the
Senate, making it much easier to
avoid opposition in passing legislation and giving the President
the ability to advance his agenda
without hindrance; not to mention the privilege to appoint new
Supreme Court Justices upon
the impending retirements of
several of those individuals. In
an attempt to confront the revelation ofa second term for Bush,
I was inundated by a sentiment
of disheartening amazement.
Only hours before the official
results were released, re-election in my mind seemed highly
unlikely. My reasoning was that
if it were the case that the
President would emerge victorious in the election, the
American people would have at
least shifted control in the
House or Senate; establishing
some kind of balance in power
and removing the unregulated
power of the executive office.
Regrettably, this assumption
was based on the naive notion
-that the majority of American

anything that anyone with
enough money and the right
words will tell them. If the Bush
administration can convince the
religious communities of this
nation that he is "Pro-Life"
while lying and launching an
illegal war that is responsible
for the deaths of 100,000 innocent people, if he can get the
unemployed middle-class to
believe his policies are creating
jobs by giving the wealthiest
percent a tax cut which will be
paid for by the poorest, if he can
win the hearts and minds of the
poor living in rural communities
merely by wearing cowboy
boots and allowing those individuals to buy automatic
weapons and assault rifles, then
it would appear that the people
of this nation will believe just
about anything. Are we as a
nation that "brain dead?" Are the
politics of this "democracy"
really dominated by religious
fundamentalists who believe
they are serving the will of God
by murdering hundreds ofthousands of innocent people in the
name of establishing a democracy (a principle that implies a
legitimate consensus of the people) by eliminating every opponent ofthat establishment? A little news for those who subscribe
to that philosophy: that is called
Fascism you moron! Do you
actually believe that this unpopular war served the interests of
this nation's national security?
Snap out of it! This war accomplished several things (notwithstanding a huge profit gain for
multinational corporations like
Halliburton and the Carlisle
Group); an increase in antiAmericanism, and a whole lot of
death and violence. Just a
reminder, none ofthese byproducts make the world any safer.
Wait, but if the President says
the world is safer, it must be
true. No one in that position
would ever mislead us. He is
decisive; a Christian leader who

"acts on principle." That may be
a rational thought to a person
who believes that the world is
6,000 years old and one who
rejects the theory of evolution,
but let's get serious here. Aside
from attempting to impose your
religious beliefs on the entire
nation (and the world), which in
itself infringes upon the very
definition of freedom and
democracy, you do so erroneously. Maybe you have not
read your Bible lately, but something you fundamentalists seem
to forget (or ignore) is that Jesus
Christ's most fundamental principle was pacifism. "But I tell
you not to resist an evil person.
Whoever slaps you on your
right cheek, turn the other to
him also." (Mathew 5:39). Hey,
remember that old teaching? It
is amazing how you people
throw these "pro-life" principles
around when it comes to matters
of abortion, but paradoxically
ignore (if not applaud) Bush's
illegal war which has resulted in
well over 100,000 unnecessary
deaths. It is quite comical (yet
sad) how you people carry your
Bibles around in one hand and
your fire-arms in the other;
chanting "abortion is murder" in
one sense and "burn baby burn"
in the other.
The only thing that 1 can
think of to say to those people
who voted for George W .Bush
is, "Wow." Those of us who
voted for change (proudly, the
majority of Pennsylvanians), I
am compelled to congratulate
you. For we the elite thinkers of
society (i.e. those of us who
believe in such things as evolution, dinosaurs, or the world
being round) did all we could to
avoid another four years of
insanity. Thanks to the fundamentalists, racists, homophones,
and other such idiots, that is
exactly what we are going to
get.

Justin M. Parker

avoid war crime charges resulting from actions in Afghanistan.
As for Powell, people have
to wonder what kept him in the
Bush administration for so long.
Known as an intensely rational
man. it is a wonder he did not
quit sooner.
America needs a person who
can begin to repair years of
damage to America's international reputation. But Bush has
picked Condoleezza Rice to
replace him, hardly a fresh face
with any promise to rejuvenate
four years of failing policy decisions.

Solid

If they only had a brain, why Bush?
voters are thinking people who
would see through the tactics of
fear and deceit displayed by this
administration and would vote
accordingly. Thus, upon hearing
the disturbing news that the
GO P. would remain in control
of both congress and the White
House. I began to reexamine my
faith in the American public.
How was it possible for a
nation to re-elect a President
who invaded a country, having
nothing to do with 9-11 (a fact
admitted by the Bush administration) and in no way a direct
threat to national security (also a
fact now admitted by the administration, but justified by a socalled flaw in intelligence), and
above all responsible for the
deaths of well over 1,000
American soldiers, not to mention about 100.000 innocent
Iraqi men, women, and children? How is it possible for the
Bush Administration to increase
anger and hatred among people
around the world, resulting in
the loss of allies, causing
nations hostile towards the
United States to develop real
weapons of mass destruction
(such as in the cases with North
Korea and Iran) and incidentally
creating an atmosphere that is
more threatening to our national
security than before the war in
Iraq, but still convince the
majority ofAmerican voters that
he is effectively fighting the
"War on Terror?" How is it possible for this President to
achieve all of the above elements, neglect the problems facing health care and social security, run up the deficit in record
numbers by giving tax-cuts to
the rich (Come on people!), and
still win the popular vote? The
answers to these questions are
really very simple. This is a
nation of fearful, ideological,
homophobic, war-loving, imbeciles, who are unable to identify
contradictions or build conclusions and will believe just about

Many LHU students may be
unaware that the oldest SCC
organization is the Black
(BSU).
Student
Union
Organized in 1970, this group
has been promoting acceptance
and understanding for thirty
four years.
The purpose of ihe BSU. is
to educate and promote African
American heritage and culture.
Through group discussions
among the members, issues are
presented and evaluated in order
to achieve an understanding of
different cultures and problems
plague them.
Among topics of discussion
is the transition for African

American students from urban
locations with significant diversity to rural areas with limited
variety of cultures, and the
problems that arrive for students because of it.
"We feel as though people
are prejudice to things they
don't understand," says president Dell Sellers.
The ultimate goal ofBSU is
to make people ask questions in
order to understand and not be
afraid of what they don't know.
The BSU goes on field trips
to interesting wax museums that
focus on famous African
Americans that achieved great
strides for their culture. They
are featured in discussion lectures for other organizations
such as honors.
Community service is a

large part of BSU. They participate in the Big Brother and Big
Sister programs and take advantage of local opportunities within the community. For example,
the BSU volunteered for Sleep
Out for Homelessness, although
it was fancied, and assisted in
flood clean-up.
There are approximately
thirty official members in BSU,
and ten regular attendees. In
order to become a voting member, a participant must attend
five meetings over the course of
a year, which includes the fall
and spring semester.
All ethnicities are welcome
to attend BSU meetings. They
are every Wednesday at 6:30
p.m. in the PUB meeting room
tour.

Although the disappointof their season coming to
an end is inevitable, the Bald
Eagles still had plenty to smile
about over the past few months.
The men finished as the
Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference champions, and
received three outstanding
awards. Senior Dustin Bixler
was named player of the year,
freshman Ashley Rosindale took
rookie of the year honors, and
head coach Doug Moore was
named coach of the year.
"We're just really down
because we could've won on

Moore. "When we get over the
disappointment of Sunday, we'll

happy with the season."
Well boys, there's always

The men's soccer team drove
into Oakdale N.Y. late Thursday
night with all intentions of
leaving on Sunday with two
victories from the NCAA
Northeast Regional Tournament.
But their hopes of going far into
their post-season were shattered
by the Dowling College Golden
Lions.
The men began their postseason with a 2-1 victory over
California University on Friday
afternoon, but watched as the
Golden Lions put an end to their
13-game winning streak with
four swift goals on Sunday.
In Friday's NCAA Northeast

The women's volleyball
has dominated Ihe PSAC
nearly
every facet this seain
son, taking over the PSAC
tournament and garnering two
all-PSAC player slots.
Li Yizhi, who came to LHU
from Shanghai, China last
year, has traded in her rookie
of the year honors from last
season for the honor of this
year's PSAC West Athlete of
the Year as well as PSAC tournament MVP.
Li was also named to the
First Team Western Division
for the second year in a row.
Li leads the country for the
second straight year with a
.460 hitting average and is
ranked fifth in the PSAC with
3.91 kills per game, recording
360 kills so far this season.
She has also recorded 332 digs
and is in the top 10 in the
PSAC with a 1.70 blocks per

game average.

Taking over the reign of
PSAC rookie of the year is
freshman Inga Kurgonaite, the
6'2" outside hitter who came to
the Haven from Kaunas,
Lithuania.
Kurgonaite also earned
Second Team Western Division
honors, leading all rookies in
the PSAC with 1.27 blocks per
game.
She compiled a .278 hitting
average and was second only
to Li on the Haven squad with
2.85 kills per game.
Kurgonaite played a vital
role in LHU's pursuit of the
PSAC Championship with 20
kills, 12 blocks and a .278 kitting percentage in their two
wins.
Both athletes have played
fundamental roles in the team's
success this season, and both
will continue to do so as the
Haven challenges for the
NCAA Division II Volleyball

The Lock Haven University
women's basketball team (0-1)
had the game tied at 49 with 1:11
left, but failed to score again,
eventually falling to Le Moyne
College (1-0) 53-49, Monday
night. Sophomore guard Allison
Hall
(Hollidaysburg.
Pa./Hollidaysburg) led all scorers with 15 points to go with six
rebounds.
Down 49-41 with 3:46 to go,
the Lady Eagles went on an 8-0
run, using four consecutive
points by Ginger Williams
(Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake) on
a offensive rebound putback and
two free throws, capped by a
Hall steal and layup to knot the
game at 49.
As hot as they were was how
cold they became, giving up a
key offensive rebound with 44
seconds left and a blocked LHU

three-point attempt resulting in a
loss of possession. Those mistakes combined with Lc Moyne
making all four free throws in
the last minute sealed the game
for LHU.
The Lady Eagles enjoyed
three leads throughout the game,
all in the first halfand all by one
point, with the latest occurring at
the halftime buzzer after a steal
and layup by freshman Kelli
(Linesville,
Pittner
Pa./Linesville) gave them a 2524 advantage.
Joining Hall in double figures was the Haven's lone senior

playoffsl
There are many critics of the BCS system as usual. People believe that
Auburn should be #2 and Oklahoma should be #3. Until there is a playoff
system put in place, there will never be a fair system that has one true winner. Someone will always be left out in the cold and critics will blame the
BCSor whatever other system is used. If I had to decide based on strength of
schedule though, Auburn and Oklahoma would be # 1 and #2 respectively
leaving USC in the cold. The PAC 10 conference is the 2nd weakest of the
major conferences in college football next to the BIG EAST. I believe a playoff
system like the one used in Division I-AA will be effective and at the end there
should be a championship game between the last two teams standing and that
should be held in conjunction with a BCS bowl. Until then, though there will
continue to be controversy in college football with the possibility of teams
splitting the national title as they did last year.
If you are not on board already, you don't have that much time left to get on
the Kansas Jayhawk men's basketball bandwagon. My Jayhawks are ranked
number I in the preseason college basketball polls and primed to have a great
year this year. They return a dominant nucleus that includes Keith Langford,
Aaron Miles, and Wayne Simeon to name a few. The Jayhawks open up
against Vermont U on Friday.
I have retired from making upset predictions. I believe the teams know that
I predict the upsets and tease me with single digit victories by the favorites.

they travel to the Horseshoe to face familiar foe Ohio State for their annual
rivalry game. A victory by the Wolverines and they capture the Big Ten Title
outright, A loss and a Wisconsin victory and they
share the big ten crown with the Badgers. Speaking
of the Badgers, #9 Wisconsin will try to mend its
wound from Michigan State when they head to Iowa
to battle #17 Iowa on Saturday. Wisconsin needs

Michigan's Burgess ready for home rival against Buckeyes

"Most [players] from Ohio

Burgess says that many

their viewpoint.
"Always they jabber and
say what they want to say,"
Burgess said. "But I learned
how to bypass that and just continue on with my career at
Michigan."
Burgess came to Michigan
as one ofthe most highly touted
recruits in the nation. Coming
out of Warren G. Harding, he
was the No. 1 safety in America
according to Rivalsl00.com
and No. 2 according to recruiting guru Tom Lemming. While
he practiced at safety for the
first two weeks ofthe 2003 season. Burgess moved to inside
linebacker before the Notre

Dame game. The move was a
joint decision by both Burgess
and the coaching staff.
"It was a big transition."
Burgess said. "Moving to linebacker, I had to learn to take on
more blocks, and just learn how
to read the whole offensive
line."
Throughout last season and
the first eight games of this season. Burgess wasn't receiving
much playing time.
"It's [been] very difficult,
coming in as a No. 1 prospect
from Ohio and just playing special teams and a little linebacker." Burgess said. "It's very
hard. But everybody's got to
wait for their time to shine."

Shazor is a junior this season, so he will be eligible to

"I'm used to [playing safety]," Burgess said. "I did that all
through high school

But right now, the Ohio
native is just looking forward to
returning home.
"Going to Columbus to play

it's one of the

can come out with a victory,"
Burgess said.

"Heisman Watch."
The senior quarterback
had his passing attempts drop
at the beginning of the season
with the emergence of freshman running back Adrian
Peterson and the Oklahoma
running game.
After throwing the ball 31
times in the season opener
against Bowling Green, the
reigning Heisman Trophy
winner completed 14-of-18

passes against
White had 73 attempts
against Oregon, Texas Tech
and Texas combined.
White's resurgence into

the Heisman race began on
the road against Kansas State
Oct. 16. White threw for 256
yards and four touchdowns as
the Wildcats focused on stopping the run.
He followed that game
with a season-high 389 yard
outburst against Kansas in
which he threw another four
touchdown passes.
White's assault on Big 12
Saturday
foes continued
against Nebraska. He completed 29-of-35 passes for
383 yards and three touchdowns.
White also set the OU
record for consecutive completions with 18.
"Jason was unbelievable
once again," head coach Bob
Stoops said after the 30-3
win over the Cornhuskers.
"He continues to amaze in
what he's able to do."
White completed passes
to 11 different receivers
against Nebraska. Nine of his
29 completions were to
Travis Wilson, who finished
the day with 135 yards. Both

were career highs for the junior.
"Jason once again showed
why he was the Heisman
Trophy winner last year,"
Wilson said. "He ran through
the routes, looked off people.
It was almost perfection."
The Sooners' running
game had gained 1,270 yards
through the first five games,
culminating with 301 yards
against Texas. However,
defenses have focused on
stopping the run, allowing
White to improve his passing
statistics.
Against Kansas State, the
Sooners ran 44 times for 149
yards. Nebraska stacked the
tacklc-box to stop the OU
ground attack. Peterson and
junior Kejuan Jones carried
the ball 29 times for 117
yards.
White exploded for 147
yards and two touchdowns in
the second quarter. He completed all 11 passes in the
second quarter as the Sooners
scored 20 points to increase
their lead to 23-0.

The offensive line gave
White time to go through his
reads and find the open
receiver
throughout the
game. White wasn't sacked
during the game.
"We understand that if we
give Jason time he can pick
any defense apart," senior
offensive lineman Jammal
Brown said.
White last threw an interception against Kansas State.
Since then he has thrown 151
passes without an interception.
"As far as taking care of
the ball and making good
decisions, this is the best
stretch I've had," White said.
"I've grown up and matured
in the system knowing that
you shouldn't force something if it's not there."
White is now the fifth

The new animated movie The Polar Express brings the children's book by
Chris Van Allsburg to life on the big screen this Christmas season.
Edward Savoy
Staff Reporter
I've always been a sucker for
Christmas movies or TV specials; for me, a Christmas season
cannot pass without a viewing
(or two, or three viewings) of "A
Charlie Brown Christmas." and I
am a devoted disciple of Miracle
on 34th Street (the original black
and white version). It's a
Wonderful
Life.
White
Christmas, and the "Rudolph the
Red Nosed Reindeer" TV special. So, this background gave
mo a certain prc-disposition
towards The Polar Express,
based on the children's' book by
Chris Van Allsburg. This positive outlook got more than a little stretched and strained by the
film, but it never quite dimmed;
sort of like Christmas itself, you
might say.
The Polar Express has the
advantage of the directorial talents of Robert Zemeckis (The
Back to the Future series.

Forrest Gump, Cast Away) and
the actorial talents of Tom
Hanks, for whom the film seems
to be an exercise in ventriloquism (he voices five characters
in the 01m). In addition, there is
the lovely animation (or. performance capturing, as it is
called) that gives the film a
luminous

look;
it's been
described as being akin to a
moving oil painting and 1 sec no
reason to disagree. Lastly, the

films' overriding message, about
faith and belief and the intrinsic
good and value ofthese things is
one that is always laudable and
one that is put across very well
in the film.
This would all have served
to make a good movie, if only it
had been a half an hour or so
shorter. Instead, the film takes
the emphasis off of its' major
theme and plot and goes into all
sorts of unnecessary side plots,
usually involving the train and
the peril that the kids put themselves in on it. With the amount
of images of the train speeding

along, down hills and around
curves, I would not be surprised
if War.ier Brothers allowed
someone to make a roller coaster out of this movie. The roller
coaster may be a good one, but
seeing a roller coaster is not half
as good as riding one. I might
also add that putting an animated version of Steven Tyler in
your film (especially as one of
Santa's elves) is never never
never a good idea; Disney, take

Any time the sticker on the

encountered music that is slightly left of center. The music of
Skindred certainly lives up to
It is unlike
I
music

have
heard of
any
late and probably unlike any
music that I've ever heard. This
statement is neither completely
good nor completely bad.
The sticker-description of
the album Babylon is as accurate
as any description that anyone
else could stick on the loud, but
never uninteresting guitar sludge
and alternating signing, rapping,
and chanting that fill Babylon.
At the very least, I cannot make
the argument that this music is

not original: the closest I can
come to describing it is to ask
you all to picture the demented
musical children of Rage
Against the Machine and Limp
Bizkit. On the other hand, don't
picture that; it would be a very
frightening picture (literally; a
merged facsimile of Fred Durst
and Zack De La Rocha would be
an abomination).
Though thoroughly original,
no music arises without influence and Skindred is no different. Whether intentionally or
not. the repeated chant of the
album's opener "Nobody"
echoes The Doors and sets a
somewhat foreboding tone for
the album; "Nobody gets out
alive." Much more definite is
the tribute paid to the British
punk band the Clash on the track
"The Fear," which consciously

and intentionally recalls their
classic song "London Calling".
There is hardly a song on the
album that doesn't include a
pounding riff as its foundation
and complex (and often, because
of the heavy accents and slang,
difficult to decipher) lyrics.
Skindred is the musically
enlightened
head-bangers
dream; during just about every
track. 1 could picture a raging
mosh pit rising up to react to the
music and thrash about, more
than likely. Skindred's music is
not main stream, nor should it
be. It should be enjoyed (and
deserves to be enjoyed) by the
people who are prepared to
receive it. Whether you are one
of that number is a question for
your own taste and your own
sense of musical adventurousness.

note.

Despite these caveats, I
couldn't help liking the movie
and this reviewer would be a little less than honest if he said he
didn't shed a tear (or two, or
three) by the time the ending
The Polar
came around.
Express would probably have
been more effective as a TV special or as a shorter movie but.
since it wouldn't have been
made under cither of these auspices, we'll have to take The
Polar Express as it is; a tad
flawed, but a tad moving as
well.

John Nixon prides himself on being a people-person, but many of his fares
only know him from this angle, through the rearview mirror in his taxi.

Taxi driving is more than making
money, it's about making friends
Daniella De Luca
Staff Editor
The cab door swung open as
two giggling, college girls slid
across the back seat with their
blue, plastic Wal Mart bags full
of essential college items.
"Desiree. where have you been
girl?!...Last time I saw you was
when we did laundry together,"
the cabdriver asked one of the
girls as they handed him their
student IDs and he scribbled
their names down on the clipboard that logs all his rides
throughout the day.
"Oh," Desiree said, "1 live in
the Evergreen Commons apartment complex now where we
have our own washers and dryers inside the building." When
he frowned a little and shook his
head, she assured him that she
would still be using the taxi
services to its full advantage.
He smiled and the lines
across his forehead loosened a
little when he asked, "Alright
then. Where are we headed?"
John Nixon, Lock Haven
Taxi and Limousine Company
driver for two years, has this
type of relationship with many
of his clients and co-workers.
"He is a friendly, jovial man
who is very well-liked by all of
his riders. No one has ever complained about him, and some
elderly ladies even request his
services. He is good to everyone." said Teresa Barthelomew,
a part-time co-worker and one of
John's neighbors.
The cab he usually drives is
not in fact a cab-it is a van. It is
gold with "Lock Haven Taxi"
labeling the side in red over top
of a black and white checkered
pattern. The seats are deep and
comfy, and his smile and jolly
attitude seemed to bring light
into the cab on an already sunny
day. He is wearing a washed out
gray t-shirt with the sleeves
cuffed and some well-worn
jeans that looked as if they had
been on many road trips before.
Partially deaf in his right ear,
John, doesn't miss a word in the

conversation as he pulls away
from the curb.
A faded, blue air freshener in
the shape of an evergreen tree
dangled lightly from the
rearview mirror, bobbing back
and forth whenever the cab hit a
bump in the road. Spots of sun
flickered through the windows
as Nixon flipped his sun visor
down and chuckled a little as the
sun played across his face and
the panther tattoo on the inside
of his left arm. The girls were
dropped off at their apartment,
and it was time for the next ride.
"My dispatcher is waiting
for her lunch," he said as we
drove back downtown towards
the fast food district.
With his strong hands at ten
and two, Nixon maneuvered the
taxi
cab
the
alongside
McDonald's drive-thru menu
speaker box. "I like to take care
of my co-workers," he said,
speaking of his dispatcher who
was waiting for a cheeseburger
back at That's The Scoop, a
movie rental and ice cream facility in downtown Lock Haven,
Pa. "I also take care of my riders," he said. "I take them and
bring them back to where they
need to be, and the job is very
rewarding."
"With this job. you tend to
get to know your riders," he
said. "There arc all different
types of people who ride in my
cab."
He said that he can tell
which riders are freshmen at the
university because they are usually shyer than upperclassmcn
riders, and there is a lingering
sense
of
homesickness.
Freshmen tend to be the riders
that keep the "Wal Mart
F.xpress" in existence. It could
be because only students with 48
credit hours are issued parking
stickers to park in the designated
lots. Typically, Sunday and
Monday nights are busiest for
the Wal Mart trip starting from
6:00 p.m. on late into the night.
At least 30 trips are made back
and forth from resident halls to
Wal Mart, but Nixon doesn't
mind.

"All ofthe drivers go out of
their way to help the students,
no matter who they are," he said.
No matter the type of rider,
Nixon will still talk to you
because he prides himself in
being a people-oriented person.
While waiting for the next
ride assignment to come across
on the radio Nixon started to circle the town exploring side
streets and quaint little neighborhoods in the town. He drove
down Main St., and waved to
several passersby who were
strolling down the sidewalk in
the partially restored downtown
area near Triangle Park.
Everywhere he goes, he sees
someone he knows through his
job.
Nixon resides in Lock Haven
and feels that he has a slight
advantage over the other drivers.
He knows more people, and
often times where lesser known
places are. Also, on occasion, on
breaks between rides he has time
to go home or visit his wife,
Toni who works at the bookstore
in the Parson's Union Building
on the Lock Haven University
campus.
Having an outgoing, peopleoriented personality like Nixon's
has helped him establish better
relationships with his clients,
thus, allowing for better and
more efficient rides. He has
been as far as Pittsburgh. Pa.,
and parts of Northern and central New Jersey with the Lock
Haven Taxi Service, and actually he prefers the longer rides
because it gives him more time
to get to know his riders.
Currently, Nixon drives Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday nights.
"Every ride is unique," he said,
"Just like every one of my riders." The radio sputtered some
static-type feedback as Nixon
adjusted the volume and then a
woman's voice came over the
speaker, "...Hey John? We've
got a trip going from Smith Hall
to Wal Mart." Nixon smiled to
himself, picked up the radio,
took a deep breath and said, "I'm
on my way."
