Maggy Herrickl Eagle Eye

One hundred and thirty faculty members and staff catered a Christmas dinner to students last night
in Bentley Hail. It provided a great opportunity for students and staff to mingle outside of the classroom.
The dinner was part of President Miller's quest to make the university seem more like a family.

The December Class of
2004 will walk into Thomas

undergraduates for the last time

Upcoming graduates have
mixed emotions about their

Accounting major Tan
Hardy said, "It is scary, sad
and exciting because you have
no idea what is waiting for you
and where life is going to leac
you from this point on."
Other students refused tc
take a sentimental approach
and found humor in the event.
"Thinking about graduatior

Ben Ruby. "At first it's constrictive, but after a while i'

Sleepout for homelessness Circle K recieves charter
once again a huge success

Some might say living in
a dorm is like living in a

box, but
some students
know how it really feels to
sleep in one.
The last scheduled sleep
out for the homeless was
cancelled due to rain, but
this time when it rained it
did not put a damper on any
spirits. Students stayed outside in the rain with only a
box to sleep in at Triangle
Park on November 19 at 10
p. m. until November 20 at
10 a. m. Students were raising money for Clinton
County's only homeless
shelter, Horizon House.
Each person had sponsors
to donate money for every
hour they stayed. Maria

night, and basically having

fun." Groups of friends were
doing this together. Some
put their boxes in a circle,
and talked all night. The
boxes were set up everywhere.
There was a big booth
where the volunteers could
warm up with hot chocolate
and coffee. Kristi Godin and
Leah Soule were two students involved in signing
people in at the booth. At
seven o'clock there were
seventy
already
people
signed up. More people
filled up the boxes through
out the night.
In the booth a table with
handouts from the Salvation
Army was next to the sign in
sheet. The handout explained
situations of unfortunate
people at the shelter and how
they were homeless without
a choice. "The stereotype of
homeless people is wrong.

They are not just dirty, lazy,
criminals." Most people in
the shelter were laid off,
could not find another job,
no longer could stay with
other family members, or
any other difficult situation.
When asked for his purpose of being involved
Danny Marrbro proudly
replied, "I have two sponsors
and I want to raise as much
money as I can." A grand
total of one thousand, three
hundred, and three dollars
was raised which was more
than doubled both semesters
last year. This sleep out was
to raise awareness and have
the university help the community. Next time you are in
your dorm room thinking
how could your living conditions couldn't be any worse,
think again, there are other
sless fortunate then you. Be
happy there is a roof over
your head and not a box.

The Lock Haven University
Circle K Club was warmly welcomed by the Mill Hall Kiwanis
on December 2nd at an evening
dinner where the club received
its' charter. The welcoming dinner took place at the cozy roadside restaurant, the Blue
Chimney with many pfthe local
Kiwanis members present. A
mix of young and old enjoyed
dinner and coffee, and then settled in for the ceremony that
was scheduled for the evening.
Lock Haven's Student
Affairs director, Ms. Linda
Koch, gave a brief but grateful
speech wherein she expressed
the generosity that she has seen
Lock Haven students posses
with great pride. Afterward, the

Daniella De LucalThe Eagle Eye

The SCC meeting on November 17 consisted of hot debates regarding policy 8 dealing with the separation of administration and the student body. Students took the podium to discuss their views.
Daniella De Luca
Staff Editor
Bill 1, stating that Policy 8
will not affect any current SCC
Senator until the end of this
academic year failed in a vote
by the SCC senate at the Dec. I
meeting.

Policy 8 was a topic ofhigh
interest at the Nov. 17 meeting.
In essence, it states that someone serving on senate cannot
be in office and a full-time
employee of the university
simultaneously. It calls for a
separation of administration
and student body.
The bill generated a lot of
discussion among senators
from both sides, those who
supported the bill and those
who didn't.
Senator Jason Hackney

===

pointed to the SCC banner on
tne wa Denin d the podium as
he said, "Student Cooperative
Council...it docs not say Staff
Cooperative Council."
Other senators expressed
the same views as Hackney,
saying the bill appeared to be
specific to one person whose
term was going to be up at the
end ofthe year anyway. "It is a
student organization and not
student and faculty. It is a conflict of interest," said Senator
Colin Monahan.
A number of senators stood
up at the podium with something to share regarding the
bill, formulated by the ways
and means committee. Speaker
of the Senate Nate McMichael
said that it was good to sec
people were prepared to discuss the bill, and it shows that
they really care about issues

"

happening within the council.
"Bill I was proposed
because many of us felt that
the bill was proposed out of a
personal bias by one of the
executive board members,"
said Angela Sincavage. "We
wanted the legislation to be
proposed because ofits impact
on the integrity of the senate
and not out of personal opinions."
The majority of the Senate
still rejected the bill, stating
that it was a personal issue.
"I believe, as many of the
other senators do, that a lot of
the members ofthe senate were
against Bill I because they arc
influenced by the views of
some executive board members, and cannot formulate
their own opinion on matters
dealing with legislation,"
Sincavage said.

==

Also in the meeting,
President Rick Harvey awarded Senator of the Month titles
to the senators who had exhibited outstanding work and
made a noticeable difference to
the council in the past two
months. Nathan Rowe was senator of the month for October
and Justin Seitz for the month
of November.
Vice President Eddie Dove
said that this semester's senate
was the best one that he has
worked with, and in the spring
semester would like to see all
the seats full. "The more student representatives we have,
the better," he said. As of the
last meeting there were 31
seats still open. Those interested in applying to be on the
Senate should stop by the SCC
office or see an officer or representative for details.

Student housing and the
approval of revisions to the
SCC Standing Election Policy
8 were the main subjects disStudent
cussed
at
the
Cooperative Council meeting
on Wednesday, Nov. 17.
During the open forum, the
issue of student housing was
brought to the Senate's attention. Lock Haven University's
student population rose 25 percent and is the highest growth
rate ofthe 14 state-owned universities. With the upcoming
closure of Russell Hall; students are concerned about
housing.
"This is issue that could
affect me, but it will affect
future students." said Jason
Hackney. "1 was guaranteed
housing for four year of my
college life. With new students
coming in every year and
Russell Hall closing, I see a big
problem."

Lecture series continues Incoming students to recieve laptops from
with talk on linguistics the university within a matter of years
Scott Kulah
Staff Reporter
Aside from a few bell towers and a community that, to
say the least, can best be
described as "unique," LHU
isn't all that different from the
other 13 universities within the
Pennsylvania State System.
The recent goal of the
Student Technology
Enhancement Program (STEP)
is to change that.
Many students are aware of
the recent proposal Lock Haven
University is considering,
which could put laptops in the
hands ofall incoming students.
A taskforce. consisting of
faculty members and several
students, has been assigned to
consider both the pros and cons
ofthe proposal and have a
report on President Miller's
desk by January 21.
According to Dr. Mark
Cloud, a member ofthe task-

force. "There

some huge

are
. issues being explored...
[As of
now] it's too preliminary to say

much."
Members ofthe taskforce
agree, implementing the proposal could be a great advantage for the university's public
relations and could possibly
attract more students.
According to Associate
Professor Jason Bronner. with
today's fast paced technology:
every university may eventually
have a similar program, if a
plan is implemented the university may benefit by using it as a
vehicle to turn perspective students' eyes this way.
He said. "Taking charge of
[the advances] could be a positive selling point for the university."
According to Bronner. it is
not a question of if it will happen, but rather when it will happen.
"Advancing technology has

a way of working itself in." he

estimates that laptops would

likely cost approximately
$1,500, if the plan is imple-

"It will happen. The question is will it occur for the
incoming class of 2006 or will

it occur for the incoming class
of 2011?"
As of now. members of the
taskforce arc communicating
with other universities around
the country, that have imple-

mented similar plans, to see
what kinds of problems they
have faced in the past and those
they continue to face.
According to Cloud, one
important idea being considered
is what it will take for this technology to be used efficiently in
a classroom setting. Not only
the infrastructure needs to be
looked into, he explained, but
how professors could implement the technology into their
courses must be considered too.
One issue that students may
consider of the utmost importance is cost. The taskforce

mented and each student is recommended to purchase one.
These figures may seem a
bit steep at first glance.
However, recent research has
found nearly 90 percent of
LHU's incoming students bring
their own computer to college
with them anyway.
Returning students can
expect to hear more about the
proposal early next semester
after the taskforce irons out
some overlying questions and
passes on a recommendation to
President Miller.
Students who wish to voice
questions or comments on the
initiative can do so by visiting
the LHU library's web-page and
clicking the provided link. All
questions and comments will be
sent directly to the taskforce for
further consideration.

ROTC holds Squad STX
Emily Carey
Staff Reporter
On the weekend of
November 13th and 14th, the
ROTC held a Squad STX lab
around McEntire Hali and
Zimmerli
gymnasium.
Approximately thirty participants took part in the Squad
STX, which was an opportunity
for the MS l's and 2's, or freshmen and sophomores, to learn
about the ROTC.
The Squad STX consisted of
four areas: enemy contact, water
re-supply, linking up to civilian
supplies, as well as evaluating
and evacuating a casualty. In
the enemy contact, the MS 4's,
or seniors, acted as the enemy.
This part ofthe lab was based on
tactical movement, and negotiating a field leadership reaction
course, also known as FLRC.
Water re-supply was a teamwork effort. It was an instruction in what to do in a danger
area, and it also involved an
Ml6 simulation. The civilian
supply linkup was another

Cantori presents "Gloria"
and showcase their talent

but don't have enough money? This year Ski Sawmill

The University Choir and
"Cantori" really showed their talents during an amazing performance of "Gloria." by Antonio
Vivaldi on December 5.2004. The
show was held in Price
Performance Center at 3 p.m. with
additional selections by the Vocal
Jazz Ensemble and the Men's
Ensemble. The seats in the auditorium were full.
The whole choir did an outstanding performance with the
program of "Gloria". Rachel
Moon and Ashley Lacki did a
beautiful duet together. Crystal
Lee, HeatherPakosh. and Bethany
Johnson also had solos during the
display of "Gloria." The last number before intermission, "Cum
Sancto Spiritu in Gloria Dei
Patris," was extremely powerful
as the choirs' voices bellowed
throughout the auditorium. The
audience clapped immediately
when the choir ended. The soloists
were brought to the front of the
stage while some audience members were screaming for them.
After intermission, the Vocal
Jazz Ensemble put together
Christmas carols that were new
and old to some of the audience.
The third number "Rockin'
Jerusalem" had incredible diction
and articulation between the
women and men going back and

forth toward each other. The audi-

once applauded after the piece due
to the level of difficulty it must
have been to achieve such a marvelous performance. Michael
Conner, a senior graduating this
semester, did a delightful song
with his wife accompanying him
on the flute. "A Holiday Medley"
was also arranged by another senior graduating this semester,
Shawn Lacey, who had played the

piano and sang. Accompanying
him was Ashley Lacki, who sang
beside the piano. This arrange-

had a good applause and
some audience members were out
of their seats when it finished.
The Men's Ensemble continued with the holiday spirit with
more carols. The first song was
sung skillfully in ocapella by the
men. The men also sang another
arrangement more upbeat of
"Gloria Deo". Ashley Lacki not

The show ended with "The

clapping and whistling before the
auditorium emptied out with the
Christmas spirit in the air.

OPINION
you Nam* W

When push comes to shove in Ukraine
Joe Melber
Guest Columnist

Your round of applause, so take a bow.
Daniella De Luca
Opinion Editor
321 Sloan.
This room is cleverly named
the Countdown Theatre, and
many, classes, shows and theatrical productions are hosted in
that joom every year as well as
on campus every day.
The University Players are a
very active group on campus
who sponsored such events such
as the Haunted Elevator in
October and most recently some
improv shows this past
Thursday and Friday evenings,
once again putting on a spectacular performance.
Dead On Arrival was the
name of the show performed by
the Dangerously Improv theatre
troupe. It is an offshoot of the
University Players focusing
specifically on improvisation in
acting. Some audience members
were featured along with guest
appearances from recent graduates in games such as "I Really
Love/Hate You Because," and
"The Dating Game."
Although the group might
not want to be related to the popular comedy show. Whose Line
Is It Anyway?, that is perhaps
the best comparison for someone who has never heard of
improv before, but might have
seen the show.
In improv, anything goes.
You make it up as you go along.
Nothing is prepared ahead of

.

time. There are no scripts, and
often times only a keyword.

title, or topic is given to kick off

the skit, bul that is all. There are
not cue cards or stage managers.
It is up to the actors and actresses to pull something together
using the resources that they are
given.
It takes a lot of drive and

determination to be involved in
acting, and there are times that I
think we don't give those
involved in the arts enough credit. We all are actors really, putling on a show in life. There are
characters we see everyday such
as close friends and professors,
and those who have supporting
roles such as friends from back
home or acquaintances who livein places other than Lock
Haven. One thing remains certain though. We all are leading
actors in our own lives. The
decisions that we make today
could affect generations to
come.
Some of us are shy, and others are outgoing, others are a
mix of both. As we grow older,
we develop our own character, a
set of morals, style and wellbeing. What we do in life comes
from somewhere within ourselves along with what others
say or do to us.
Actors provide us something
beautiful to witness, leaving
their mark on the world. How
many of us truly have something
to show for our time in college?
If the arts really aren't your
thing, the only question I have
for you is, "Why not?"
Art is one of those areas in
life where you just can't be

wrong. It means difTcrent things
different people. Even though
you might not be the artist, you
could still be the observer, for if
we were all artists, who would
appreciate our work?
To conclude, congratulations
to the University Players and
Dangerously Improv on a job
well done this semester as well
as everyone else on this campus
deserving praise.
Now. you're the ones who
deserve the round of applause
and a standing ovation.
You made it through another
to

semester.

HAVEN UNIVERSITY, IS PUBLISHED WEEKLY IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE UNIVERSITY CALENDAR. THE ARTICLES, OPINIONS,
PICTURES AND LAYOU T OF THE EAGLE EYE ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STAFF AND DO NOT REFLECT THE VIEWS OF THE

Ukraine after the break up of
the Soviet Union; a socialistic
satellite of Russia and a place
where the working class may
find a home free of oppression,
at least in the ideal. On the
other side of the coin is the
Viktor
opposition leader
Yushchenko who looks at the
developing European Union as
a way to bring the economy up
to speed with western capitalistic forces like the United States.
In contrast to the recent
contested election in the United
States though, this election was
in fact won by a majority. The
problem lies in the abilities of
the voting system, as many
accounts of corruption can be
found on any street corner in
favor of the majority party.
This has caused a not only local
but global backlash as the election was so close that, due to
the amount of corruption, the
actual result is nearly impossible to find. The problem is
only magnified in the streets by
gangs of protesters on each of
the opposing sides still sticking
around and continuing to support their candidate; though
from the turn out found in those
streets, its obvious the election
was rigged in favor of
Yanukovych.
So where docs the United
States stand on this election crisis? Although the U.S. has far
less to lose from this not being
sorted out, (as the European
Union sees the Ukraine as a

possible ally, and the United
States already has rather friend-

ly relations with them) it is still
being looked at by the administration with close eyes. In
press conferences in both
Britain and the States, the
countries rejected the results
stating that there were "credible
reports of fraud and abuse." In
fact most western countries are
reacting in similar ways as they
have already set up talks that
have decided that the election
must be redone to see if there
can be found a clear cut winner
in the fray.
The most likely outcome ol
this dispute is still rather
unforeseeable. Unless one of
the candidates plays the hero
and steps down from fighting
the dispute any further, this
may continue for quite sometime. Besides that, western
countries will continue their
talks possibly with United
Nations intervention into the
dispute. No matter which way
the election swings this country, hopefully it swings with
great speed and power, otherwise the Ukraine may prove to
be a powder keg and explode
into civil war.

Just in case there is still a

down in flames since Bush was
elected for a second term after
his controversial victory via
supreme court ruling in his first
presidential race, worse has
happened. In the presidential
race in Ukraine, the election
that shall decide its future
standing in foreign relations
and other issues is disputed. In
the most rudimentary explanation, the election will decide
whether it will pursue its close
relations with Russia further, or
join in the broadening influence of the European Union.
However, this election represents much more than simply
the alignment with policies, but
just as much the decision
between eastern and western
culture, economic system, and
laws.
The regional impact of this
election seems to be one of the
more unsettling events currently. The country could fall into
complete civil war if both candidates don't continue their call
to peace. What could drive
such a wedge into a country?
The two candidates have completely different views on the
world that could be relatable to
the division found during the
cold war in Germany, though
the superiority of one side in

Lock Haven University
Lock Haven, PA 17745

Minister Viktor Yanukovych
represents the old vision of

Lock Haven should not become a "laptop" university
Dear Editor,

"Lock Haven University is
currently considering a program
that potentially could put laptops
in the hands of every student."
With almost all due respect, are
they flipping SERIOUS?! This
statement from the same
University that wants to expand
its enrollment but at the same
timereduce the majors available
to students. As a Computer
Information Scientist, I wholeheartedly support the emergence
of technology into our lives but
only if it's reasonable. Sorry to
burst your bubble my fellow students but allow me to bring this
grandiose idea from cloud nine
back to reality.
There are a few reasons as to
why this plan will not just fail,
but crash and bum. The first
reason is the timeline. Suppose
that LHU decides to implement
this plan and sign an agreement
with a computer distributor like
Dell. Fine. In addition to tacking on an extra S2000 dollars
you've also been blessed with a
newer and better way ofplaying
spider solitaire. Now fast forward two or three years ahead.
After dropping your backpack
off at the door and sitting down
to log on to AOL Instant
Messenger, your computer starts
acting funny and occasionally
restarts. The cause? Another 19
year old from Europe decided to
make yet another virus for the
(Microsoft operating system. (I
mention Microsoft because at
this moment in time most ofthe
user base is familiar with the
company's design and it would
be only logical to conclude that
it will still be the leading developer in years to come.) In hopes
of eliminating the problem you
load up the antivirus software
that came with your computer
only to discover that your sub-

right!

Upon purchase of the

computer, both the manufacturer
of the computer and the developers of the antivirus software
are released from the burden of

updating the software. It's in
your hands now. Don't believe

me? Read the End User License
Agreement. So what now? Well
you could take a trip to WalMart, spend S50 for another
antivirus program, drive back to
your dorm, install the software,
scan the computer, restart the
computer and hope that everything is fixed. Stop. Let me
save you the trouble right now.
In the time it has taken for the
virus to manifest itself inside
your computer, spread itself
around the campus network, and
make hundreds of companies of
itself, the Computer and
Technology Center has already
taken the liberty and solved the
problem for you. How so? By
cutting off your internet access
until the problem is fixed.
Folks, this is the same situation
we're in right now. The only difference is the problem is delayed
a few years.
I could be wrong though.
The University may purchase a
license which allows every student to get free antivirus
updates. It is a possibility which
other state universities have
already implemented. How
about this one scenario? You
just bought your new laptop and
are blissfully frolicking along to
class. You get all the way to
class, set your laptop down,
open it up and bam! What?! No
internet? How am I supposed to
get to my PowerPoint? 1 can't
get to the message boards?
What do I do?! Laugh. No really. Go ahead and have a hearty
laugh because that's the same
issue we have right now. I'll use
High Hall and McEntire Hall as
excellent examples. Both resi-

(McEntire is

wired now but it
did have wireless access in the
fall of 2003 and spring of 2004)
internet installed. This means
that with a certain type of card
you can take your computer
(desktop or laptop) nearly anywhere and still be online. Pretty
cool, huh? The problem is
which the structural design of
the buildings. You see, when
wireless was created it was not'
designed to penetrate solid
bricks, sprinkler pipes, electrical
currents, and all the other goodies placed inside a dorm to keep
us safe. The result? Degraded
signal from the wireless transmitters and little, if any, connection for the students. With the
new plan that the University
wants to implement it entails
that every part of the campus
will be a hot spot for connectivity. If students can't get connected now, how can the Computing
Center tell us we'll be able to
connect later? And you mean to
tell me you have that much faith
in
the
Computing
and
Technology Center to fix everything in a year? Please, surely
you jest.
Let's assume the first two
possibilities become null. The
University figures out a way of
countering the wireless situation
and students get updates for
anti-virus software. First two
problems solved. But I implore
you, if we do get laptops can we
trust the administration to govern their use properly? If you
examine how they regulate what
we currently do you'll see that
they already take away many of
our rights. Use Peer to Peer
(P2P) file sharing as an example.
P2P file sharing programs allow
the unknown artist a way of distributing his or her work to the
world. Because of the expansion in technology I've found
hundreds of artists both in lyri-

which would never have made it
into the mainstream of hiphop/pop America. 1 can under
stand blocking Napster and
other music programs before
they became legit (nobody
wants to deal with a lawsuit).
However, we're now in the age
where record companies have
said, "Okay, if you pay us X
amount of dollars, we'll let you
download this song." No muss
to fuss. However, we still have
our chairmen and directors of
boards who cringe at the fact of
letting the students access what
is rightfully theirs. The battle of
the courts is over. Our "ooo"
and "ahh" from watching lawsuits is over. However, the Lock
Haven University administration
has yet to come to that realization. They still limit us and stifle our technological growth.
What do we do? Shall we
digress a few hundred years or
so and take up pitchforks and
torches and oust the administration? Or would we digress
merely a few decades and toss
eggs at the front of Robinson or
picket outside of Bentley? Let's
face it. The only way we are
going to change anything is not
through hot headed "Heck no we
won't go" Vietnam draft card
burning but through logical and
methodical legal processes
which allow us to freely express
our opinions but at the same
time consume large amounts of
time for both parties involved.
We could start by sending letters
to Don Patterson, the head honcho of the Computing and
Technology Center, or write our
respective Congressman. The
latter is a little overboard but it
does yield quicker results. I
pose one final question: What
are you going to do?

Vandalism on campus
The University Community:
Just
before
the
Thanksgiving Break, there
were several incidents of vandalism that took place on the
Main Campus in Raub,
Robinson and the former Lock
Haven High School now called
the East Campus. We want to
bring these incidents to your
attention because we believe
these acts of intolerance were
directed at people from diverse
backgrounds and may be been
racially motivated.
In the case of kaub and
Robinson, damage was done
only to the doors and hallway
around two faculty members'
offices who are people ofcolor.
A few items have been reported
as missing and the investigation continues in both areas.
In the case of the former
high school, a racial slur was
written on the exterior wall of
the building. Additional vandalism was reported in the
Library which may or may not
be related to the other incidents.
Lock Haven University has
always prided itself on providing proper recourse for frustra-

lion with events, people and
circumstances. These actions
by no means can be considered
appropriate or proper and it is
important that the University
community demonstrate its
disdain for this unacceptable
behavior. As a community of
learners, accepting differences
should be a welcomed opportunity to share our differences
and celebrate what we hope to
achieve. All ofthe members of
our community should take the
opportunity to express our dissatisfaction with this faceless
act of intimidation.
As a University, if we are
seen to encourage and tolerate
this action, our mission of educating all of our members has
failed. It is time for all of us to
make certain we understand the
goal of living in a diverse population so that we can share
with one another the differences that make this community a very special place to live,
study and learn.
Thank you for taking the
time to reflect on this message.

Dear Editor.

I am writing this e-mail to

Buddy
Kechiche, an international student, a resident assistant, an
active
member
of the
International
Students
Association, and a proud member of the Lock Haven
University Community.
This community has been
very good to me; in fact, it has
been so good that I can't even
think about leaving Lock Haven
without becoming desperate and
sad. This community has
become the family equal to the
one I left 5 years ago in my
home country. In the past few
years, my community, my new
family, has proven to be one of
respect, tolerance, openness,
and understanding. My community has provided me and many
others a safe and productive
environment to learn, grow, and
develop the skills, ethics, values, and leadership we need to
become part of society.
As a proud member of this
family, 1 am appalled by what
happened and I feel very strongly that the university community should come together in support ofthose that were targeted
as well as to express our strong
stand against these gruesome
acts of hate and intolerance.
Those who were affected are
members of this distinguished
family and need our support. 1
also feel that a prompt, strong,
and genuine reaction from every
member of the community
would show that these acts are
unacceptable and would help
deter future acts of hate and
intolerance.

izing a show of support this
upcoming Thursday; this event
will be an open opportunity for

all university students, staff, and
administrators to appease our
family members that were hurt
by these actions, and to show
our strong stand against such
acts of hate and intolerance.
I am organizing a one hour

Dear Editor,
In the last issue there was an
opinion article lashing out at
Bush and the 60,000,000 that
voted for him. I found it very
sick and misleading. I disagree
with my classmate and his faulty
and shameful assumption that
the majority ofAmerican people
were duped. The American people still voted for the right
choice even though the billionaire George Soros and his
henchmen were out trying to
convince people that Bush is
very close to being Hitler. Then
Michael Moore brought out a
horrible movie that took little
clips, pasted them together like a
child could do in grade school.
Hippies rejoiced, but the heart
and soul of many Americans did
not buy it. So please tell me
what side was more adamant
about deceiving the American
people.

Germany, who had nothing to do
with Pearl Harbor. What my fine
classmate forgets to mention is
that this war is War on Terror,
not War on Afghanistan.
Saddam Hussein and regime
were terrorists. They terrorized
their own people, the people of
Kuwait, paid Hamas terrorist
families $25,000 to kill the people of Israel, threatened to
invade the people of Saudi
Arabia, used chemical weapons
on the people of Iran, plotted to
kill the first President Bush, and
tried to shoot down our brave
men and women protecting the
no-fly zone under the Clinton
administration. I guess my classmate just happen to overlook
that.
We have 38 allies in this war
I don't call that a lack of
Iraq.
in
allies at all. It is fine by me and
a lot of Americans to keep the
corrupt governments of China.
France, and Russia out of Iraq.
They have enough problems
with cleaning their hands from
the UN Oil for Food program in
which they stole millions of dollars from the poor citizens of
Iraq that my classmate cares for

I am glad my classmate was
around in the I940's. If he
was angry over attacking Iraq,
who had nothing to do with
9/11, then he surely would have
been angry over attacking

campus religious organizations,
campus fraternities and sororities, and regular students to
come out and say NO to hate.

so much.
Another mistake my classmate makes is assuming that
North Korea just all ofa sudden
built nuclear weapons because
of Bush. Wrong. In 1994
President Billy Clinton paid off
the unstable North Korean dictator so he wouldn't make nuclear
weapons. When Bush came into
office, his administration found
out that the sweet innocent
North Koreans actually broke
that treaty and had nuclear missiles. They did not come about
in Bush's term
What possibly can be the
reason for people to vote for
Bush according to my fellow
classmate? Because they are
homophobes, war-loving, imbeciles. I am glad my classmate
uses such articulate terms and
tactics to handle the loss of the
election.
Basically. I would like to
point out to everyone reading
this that my classmate from the
last issue is the one ill-informed
and 1 brought out just a couple
of points showing that. To call
60.000,000 Americans idiots
and homophones is ridiculous.

My classmate cannot handle the
results of the election so he
starts sputtering out lines from
Fahrenheit 9/11 and Moveon.org
This proves that the person
who was really duped and still
is, is him. The funniest thing is
that he says the same stuff that
was in the election, no facts, and
it still won't work. If it didn't
work for the election, why
would it work now?
I am asking my classmate to
please come back to reality,

even bring the tissues. Please
grow up, stop the childish name
calling and jump back on the
horse for the next election.

fancy, then 1 hear Canada is willing to provide a spouse so you

Though we, as college students, have grown out of our
belief in Santa Claus. his spirit
lives on for many. One L.HU

staff member carries on that
spirit by taking on the actual
role of Santa Claus.
"I try to teach the children
that Christmas is about love and
sharing, and that there are boys
and girls who don't always have
the accessibility to all the presents and things." said Denny
Strouse.
Strouse,

also visits other clubs, organizations and private gatherings
as Santa.
He attempts to be magical

by working magic tricks into
many ofhis group visits to help
show the children that there is
more to the holidays than material possessions. One of his
favorite tricks is turning nickels
into dimes.

And after five or six years of
wearing his last suit, he has a

"I bought my first Santa
uniform from a Montgomery
Ward catalog." Strouse said.
Strouse also places a lot of
importance on picking up children's names from their parents |
and chaperones, answering'
questions from curious older
children, and giving children a
pleasant visit with Santa.

"It was difficult to play

"But we got stronger as the
match went on and we at least
were able to regain our poise
and not give up."
Yizhi delivered another
unyielding performance with a

Lock Haven's defense was
slow in coming but reached its
peak in the third set, where it
was too late to make an impact
on the Buccaneers and an ankle
injury to Jen Thompson at a crucial part of the game gave Barry
the advantage to regroup.

"It was great to go through

Before I leave Ixxk Haven for good this semester, I would like to look back a
my experience and spotlight my crew whom I've known ever since I stepped
onto this campus four and a half years ago. Some will go with me this semes
ter while others will keep our legacy alive and well here at LHU.
A friend is defined as someone who you know, like, and trust. In my heart,
Mann, Reese, Renaldo, Kellen, Sheldon, Roc, Go-Go Al, Mike, and Stix have
gone above and beyond that definition. Thank you fellas for being there whei
I needed you guys and also being there when I may not have needed you. It
was a relief to be far from my immediate family knowing that I had some
people to turn to who would give me their honest opinion whether I liked it
or not. I know it was a rough couple of years on the football field but being
with you guys made everything fun even if we were losing. Making fun of
each other or rippin as we call it helped to keep us in good spirits while bein;
here at LHU. We said it from the beginning that this school would be what
we made of it. We made Lock Haven a special place and we will be able to
pass on some of the things we learn and did to the younger people coming in
to continue to make this university and community better.
We may have had our fair share of arguments and fights but no true friend
ship is perfect or comes without a difference of opinion.
As I make my journey across that stage on Sunday, I will take with me all th
memories of the conference, bringing the camera out at night, ouchie wally
towels, and all your raises with mel Just kidding. In all seriousness though, 1
love you "guys and will miss you guys from the bottom of my heart. You haw
made my stay here at the Haven an enjoyable yet safe one. You have taught
me things about life and I admire where you guys are today because your
lives could have taken you down another path, but you guys rose above that.
You have taught me responsibility and what fatherhood may be like. Most of
all, you have taught me to just keep it real and be honest. Thanks for the
memories and may God bless you in anything you do.
To everyone else whom I have come in contact with in my years at Lock
Haven, I just wanted to thank you for the pleasant experience that I have had
here. I will miss the Haven because it is a place that I
have come to know as my home away from home. I I
thank this university for all the opportunities it has
given me and I know I will make everyone proud
when I start my career as a school psychologist.

Now, I don't want to beat a dead horse but I was reading the
paper and baseball's scandal toward steroids had taken another step in creat- ;
ing a new process. Senator John McCain said "he was going to put pressure on 4f;;
baseball to give a stricter drug policy." I was thinking to myself that our
Government can barely control themselves, how can they try and control
what baseball can do. This is strictly MY OPINION, but we are in a war right ||
now, I think steroids are not a very important topic
How about trying to
get our troops home.
I was also reading the paper and it was said that Donald Rumsfield
"hopes that we (America) pull all of our troops out by the end of Bush's second term." 1 can't believe that a war that was said to be over several months
ago, still requires troops to be there until 2009... And we are sending more
each and every day. I guess that as long as we can get what we want from
them then it is okay. (YEAH RIGHT) War is not the answer because it costs so I
much...Not monetary but it is taking our lives.. .Our President, who America M
re-elected last month needs to search for a solution because in 2009 it might
be our little cousins or brothers fighting the War For Oil.

Your love of the holidays
creates a special bond
between you and the people in your life. Use this as
a way of building stronger
relationships that will
carry over well beyond
this time.

No one reflects the bright
holiday more than all you
Leos and Leonas who love
the shimmer and glimmer
of the season. P.S.: There
just might be a very special
something from Santa.

You always bring your
own wonderful sparkle
and light to the holidays,
and don't be surprised if
this year someone special
reaches out to respond to
your warmth in kind.

gift you've given yourself
in a long while.

Togetherness is the dominant theme for the Goat's
holiday celebrations this
year. That means reaching

LIBRA

A reminder of a very special moment from the past
makes the holidays more

romantic future as well.

TAURUS
A new approach could go a
long way toward resolving
a painful estrangement,
especially at this holiday

aspects favor friendship
this week, why not go
ahead and try it?

Your positives continue to

Not to be treasured, but not bad
National Treasure

Nonpoint-Zteco/V

Normally, the phrase "it's not
as bad as I thought it would be,"
if used to describe a given film,
does not bode well for the given
film. Usually, a descriptive
phrase of that nature would give
rise to visions of weeping and
gnashing of teeth in some

wretched cinematic Hell. Yet, in
the case of the new Jerry
Bruckheimer
production
"National Treasure." that phrase
is a high (though backhanded)
compliment because, simply
put, it wasn't as bad as I thought
it would be.
With the exception of
"Pirates of the Caribbean."
almost any film associated with
Jerry Bruckheimer normally has
the blessing of having a big box
office return and the curse of
critical reviews that are so horrible that they would make
Britney Spears feel better by
comparison. However, somehow, the cast of "National
Treasure," led by Academy
Award winners Nicholas Cage
and Jon Voigt, managed to chum

out a film that is mindlessly
entertaining rather than just
mindless. Perhaps that pleasant
fact is as much a treasure as the
one described by the title.
In "National Treasure,"
Nicholas Cage plays Benjamin
Franklin Gates, a brilliant treasure hunter/protector who is
hampered by the fact that everyone ("everyone" being thc FBI,
his father, his assistant, played
by Justin Bartha. and his initial
nemesis, future love interest,
played by Diane Kruger) feels
that he's nuts for continuing to
search for this particular treasure, one that has been searched
for for more than 200 years by
members of his family. It doesn't help that he believes that the
key to the treasure is on the back
of
the
Declaration
of
Independence, which he then
proceeds to try to steal. When
you consider that the various
clues he uncovers takes him
from the Artie Circle to
to
D.C.
Washington
Philadelphia to New York City,
one can probably imagine why
people would think that he had
potholes in the road of his sani-

Despite (or perhaps because
of) a plot that gets more conspiracy theory minded by the
minute, the film succeeds, primarily because of the sense of
humor and witshown by most of
the cast. The cast seems to be
under no illusion that they're
making great art; they're just
"slumming" to make a buck, it
seems, and they figured that
they might as well have a good
time doing it. This attitude
shows in the good-natured performances that the cast delivers.
Of course, Bruckheimer being
Bruckheimer, there are plenty of
explosions, cur chases, yadda,
yadda, yadda; it's not why I
watched and enjoyed the film,
but if it's your rationale, all
power to you.
I cannot express how much I
was surprised that I actually
managed to like National
Treasure. It may be fluff, but at
least it's fluff that knows what it
is and manages to work in a few
historical nuggets as well.
Bruckheimer lives to produce
another film yet and, for once,
that's a good thing.

When heavy metal rose up
the
from
Zeppelin/Sabbathesque mire
from whence it was born, it was
commonly assumed that the
genre would die (and die quite
forcefully and thankfully) within a few years, at the most.
We're now well into the fourth
(or third, depending on how you
count) year ofthe new millennium and it is a beyond obvious
statement that metal hasn't died
yet, nor is it likely to within our
generation. Not only has it not
died, it has mutated time and
time again with the latest mutation under question being the
unique style expressed through
the music ofthe band Nonpoint
on their album Recoil.

words and genres that don't normally end up in the same sentence, but that's simply the way
it works with Nonpoint.

than is the metal norm. Recoil
is the fourth album from
Nonpoint and while they have
advanced to a degree ofcompetence, the greatness that lies at
the top of the metal pantheon
isn't theirs yet. However, with a
little more work, it might be.
Recoil won't replace Led
Zeppelin IV or Masters of
Illusion, but it doesn't have to.
It's good enough on its' own
terms and good enough to be
enjoyable, if not quite classic.
Nonpoint bears watching; if
Hoobastank can get a hit with
their band name, well, I suppose
Nonpoint can do it to.

Conquer finals week with these tips
Corrine Smith
Staff Reporter
With the holidays right
around the corner and just as
snow begins to descend on Lock
Haven, there is one thing on
every LHU student's mind. It's
winter break! It's presents! No,
it's finals.
Yes. finals week is right
around the corner. The time of
year LHU students love to hate.
For some, it will be the last finals
week of their college career and
for others, itisjust the beginning.
Whether you can see the light at
the end ofthe graduation tunnel
or you're here for the long haul,
fear not: finals week is not that
bad.
There are all types of finals,
with projects, papers, the last
exam of the semester, and, of
course, the dreaded cumulative
final exam rounding out the list.
No matter which weapon your
professors choose, you can be
)

prepared.
Junior political science major
Ashleigh Colwell has three written finals this semester and one
final paper.
"Study ahead, get a lot of
sleep, and stay relaxed. That is
the most important thing," said
Colwell.
WhileColwell acknowledges
that she prefers a written final to
a paper or project, she sees the
benefits of having final assignments, especially when they are
due the week prior to finals.
"It helps when things are
spread out," she said.
Even though that research
paper on Beethoven gets turned
in a week early, do not get too
excited. Professors are contractually obligated to be in the classroom the day ofthe final, as per
the university finals schedule.
Colwell also feels it is better
to have your exams spread out
throughout the week, instead of
having several in one day, but
that is not up to students or pro-

fessors. University policy dictates that if you have more than
threefinals on any given day, you
request a make up exam with the
instructors).

Sara Widdop, senior psychology major, admits that she
sometimes procrastinates her
studying and finds herself cramming the night before, or the day
of, a final. This semester,
though, Widdop is planning
ahead and has some advice for
freshman who may be nervous.
"It is not as hard as you think.
Don't stress, and take breaks
when you are studying. Do
something that relaxes you and
gets your mind ofthe material."
said Widdop.
Whether you plan on using
the test-taking methods that have
been around for years, such as
eating a good breakfast, getting
plenty of rest, and studying
ahead, or you have found a few
tips of your own over the past
few semesters, thc key to finals
week is to relax.

Daniella De Luca
Staff Editor
The Lock Haven Modern
Dance Company twirled,
leaped, spun, kicked and
danced their way through their
annual recital on Nov. 18 in
Price Auditorium.
The team worked from the
start ofthe semester to achieve
a 15-set show including full
company numbers where all
members participated, halfcompany numbers where the
group was split up for easier
choreography and also solo,
duets and small-group dances.
**- Senior Lisa Brennecke,
next semester's treasurer for the
club said, "Joining the dance
company is a great way to meet
new people. I did not have any
dance experience before I started dancing with the company.
The members and officers are
always very helpful in teaching
the dances."
Dance numbers included
pop, jazz and R&B type hits
such as "Keep Giving Your
Love to Me" by Beyonce and
"I'm a Slave For You" by
Britney Spears. Country and
Southern styles were also
explored with Charlie Daniels
Band with "The Devil Went
Down to Georgia" Lonestar
"Amazed" and Tim McGraw
and Faith Hill's "It's Your
Love".

was "Feel Good Time" by Pink
from the Charlie's Angels
soundtrack.
A tap class was added last
semester, and pointe class was
added just this year for more
diverse and varying dance
styles according to Treasurer
Jenny Dubich who has been
dancing with the company for
three semesters.
Each of the 35 dancers was
at a different dancing experience level with some members
who had been dancing since the
age of three and others who
were just starting out. Many of
the dancers had a basic back-

ground in ballet, cheerleading
and/or gymnastics.

Costume changes occurred
for every dance, and according
to sophomore secretary Megan
Clase, the costumes were more
involved this year with most of
them requiring
complete
changes and not just changing
part of the costume.
Costumes were selected
from catalogs in a group effort
between fall semester President
Jessica Fink and the choreographers of the group dances.
Other costumes were picked
out at stores such as Wal Mart
or were made up ofclothes that

the team already had.
"1 feel we improve every
semester. Each year it seems
we grow in size and with that
increase we get many people
with a broad range of abilities
and talents. But, I feel you can
see the most improvement from
each person individually," Fink
said.
"The show was amazing
and I strongly recommend this
activity to anyone who has an
interest in dance because the
people you meet from the company will become like a family
to you," said Clase.
