Many students were concerned that the parking lot

The Job Market and the
Importance of Voting
As a graduating senior, I
find myself preparing to enter
the joh market at the end of the
semester. I also find myself
wondering exactly how long it
is going to take to find a suitable job. I am confident that
the work I have put in over the
past three and a half years has
given me a strong skill set and
that I have the ability to be successful in any future endeavor.
I recently began the somewhat
exhausting process of applying
for jobs, figuring that the earlier I get started, the better
chance I have of finding a good
fit before it's too late.
However, I am already
beginning to become discouraged. I have friends who graduated last year and were able to
find good jobs rather quickly,
which boosted my confidence
somewhat. But I also have
friends who have had a rather
tough time, and have either had
to settle for a job that is not
ideal or have decided to continue their education. The simple
fact is that the job market is just
plain baq§P '"SS^J
It's easy to see why there
jobs than job-seekers.
With more and more people
deciding to go to college, there
is a significantly larger pool of
people with the qualifications
for what many would consider
the better jobs. This obviously
presents a problem. If you arc
the government, it's not a good
idea to have your citizens sitting around at home instead of
working. This is where eco-

nomic policy comes in. The
government tries to boost the
job market so that more jobs
are available for more people.
This is called job creation, and
it's one of the major metrics for
measuring the state of the economy.
If you recall, one of the
major reasons that President
Bush gave for his 2003 tax cuts
was that the cuts would help
create jobs.

Specifically, the

president promised that the bill
would create an additional
510,000 jobs by the end of
2003. These jobs are in addition to the jobs that would nat-

Something doesn't seem right.
Although the economy in general has been recovering steadily over the past two quarters,
this recovery has not shown up
in the area that college graduates are most concerned with:

jobs.
So, what's the point? Well,
in case you haven't noticed (and
judging by the statistics from
2000, you haven't), it's an election year. Historically, young
men and women have had the
poorest turnout among voters.
Consequently, politicians basically ignore our demographic
when campaigning and focus
more on issues that are important to older citizens, such as

social security and prescription
drug benefits. And you can
hardly blame them. Why put all
the energy into marketing the

Most of you will be here in

so you will need to file for an
absentee ballot. If you do vote,
don't just arbitrarily select a

candidate based on party affiliation, do some research.
Instead of watching American
Idol or Survivor All-Stars,
watch a debate or news program. Find out where the candidates stand on the issues, and
make your choice accordingly.
And even more important: hold
the winner to his or her promis-

es.

DES MOINES, Iowa Sen.
John Edwards, whose campaign
has been officially declared by
the media to be in Surge Mode,
surged into town and held a real
nice event.
That's Edwards' campaign
theme: He's the nice one. He's
NOT negative! He's NOT meanspirited! He points this out constantly. "I'm not going to go
around calling names," he says,

"unlike the lying, scum-sucking
toads running against me." (He

doesn't say that last part out
loud, but the message is clear.)
Edwards is surging in Iowa
because (a) we in the media are
severely bored with the other
candidates, and (b) Iowans are
big on nice. This is a very polite
state. Fewer acts of rudeness are
committed in Iowa in an entire
year than during a single morning in any given New York City
subway car.
Iowans are also extremely
friendly. You stop to ask for
directions at a convenience
store, and you wind up getting
invited to a wedding. As the
groom! That's how nice Iowans
arc. So they've responded to
John Edwards and his positive
message of how much better he
is than all the other slimeballs.
The Edwards rally was held
in a hotel ballroom. When
Edwards came out, the PA system blared the song "I Was Born
in a Small Town", to convey the
message that Edwards was born
in a small town, which he apparently views as an achievement.
Then Edwards, who is boy-

ishly handsome and looks kind
of like a doctor on a TV soap
opera (a nice doctor), gave a
nice speech about all the positive things he would do as president, including healthcare for
everybody, college for everybody, the elimination of the
budget deficit, and, of course,
the utterly merciless rooting out
and stomping upon of all special
interests. Actually, ALL the
Democratic candidates are going
to do these things, but Edwards
will do them in a nice way.
After the Edwards event, I
drove about an hour northeast to
a motel in the town of
Marshalltown to witness an
entirely different type of event.
This was a union rally for
Dick Gephardt, and it was, by
far, the manliest campaign event
I have ever seen. It was attended
predominantly by manly union
men, big men, any given one of
whom was the size of three
Howard Dean supporters combined.
These men warmed up for
the rally in the motel bar, drink-

ing, smoking, laughing and
shouting in a manly fashion.
Then everybody went outside, where a PA system,
cranked up to 11, blasted out
"Mandy," by Barry Manilow.
No, really, it blasted "Takin'
Care of Business" while a
parade of huge and studly
Teamster tractor-trailers rumbled up, horns blaring, each one
stopping to discharge a union
official until the last one discharged: Dick. He gave a violent
grin and a manly thumbs-up,
then everybody went inside to
listen to speeches that were not
nearly as conciliatory as the
ones at the Edwards rally.
For example, Teamsters
President James P. Hoffa said
(really): "Dick Gephardt's gonna
kick their ass!" And he was talking about the other Democrats.
The speakers' statements regarding the president were even less
positive. At one point, the crowd
chanted "SEND BUSH TO
MARS!"
Dick gave a fired-up speech
about how he was going to fight

for the working man, provide
jobs and health care for everybody, obliterate the special interests, etc. The men cheered like
crazy and promised to go to the
caucuses and urge people to support Dick.
To any Iowans reading this,

my advice is: Do whatever these
men say.

The Sunday Drive
Nick Malawskey
News Editor

-

The "Sunday Drive" an American tradition, much like baseball and mom's apple pie, that has (much
like baseball and mom's apple pie), fallen by the way side of a fast paced American society in which,
perhaps, we just can't find the time for that leisurely cruise through areas unknown. But what is the
"Sunday Drive?" On Oct. 1, 1908, a man named Henry Ford revolutionized American society and completely changed every person on the planet's life forever. This one man created something that had the
effect ofputting the brakes on the planet and causing it to stop spinning. It was earth shattering, it was
stupendous, it was mind boggling, it was
an affordable car. The 1909 Model T Ford, the first production model, could be purchased for a price of $825. Between 1908 and 1927, over 15 million Model
T's were built. In the early 1920's, half of all cars on the road worldwide were Model T's. So what does

this have to do with "The Sunday Drive?"
The Model T Ford made the car accessible to the everyman, which directly allowed the "Sunday
Drive" to occur. On any given Sunday (after church, of course), Dad would pile Mom and the kids into
the of Model T and together they would go out for a leisurely cruise and perhaps a picnic (complete with
the red checkered table cloth). It didn't matter to them where they went; just the fact that they were
going somewhere was enough to get the family out the door and into the car. Over the years, the car got
bigger and faster, but the "Sunday Drive" remained the same: after church, pile in the kids, get out a
road map, and drive off to find adventure. Like many former staples of American, the advent of television began the decline of the "Sunday Drive." No longer did we have to go somewhere to see something
new; we could turn on our TV's and have something new presented to us. Today, the "Sunday Drive"
is a tradition passed down from car enthusiast to car enthusiast, a few die-hards who don't care what car
you drive or what it looks like. The important question is "do you drive it?" Men and women, for whom
the car's dents and dings are badges of courage and signs of character, see little point in washing the car
weekly - "it's only going to get dirty again this weekend anyway."
The "Sunday Drive" is not about neon lights, wings, air scoops, and how low you sit; it's about the
open road, the wind tossing your hair, a tricky down hill corkscrew that catches you off guard alter the
crest of a hill. After living in this area for three and a half years, I can say with safety that anyone who
loves to drive should never be bored here. Therefore, in the coming issues, this column will attempt to
explore some of the uncharted roads of North Central Pennsylvania, looking for those elusive S turns
and serpentine roads that have no traffic and are just waiting to be driven. To that extent, each week I
will publish a different drive that I have discovered, whether it be a scenic trip that no student should
graduate without first seeing, or merely a side cut that allows a driver to bypass some of the more well
worn roads in the area. If nothing else, the next time you or your friends are whining about being bored,
you can pull out an issue and go for a cruise, waste a couple of hours, and perhaps see something that
will justify the five dollars you just spent on gas. What more could a person ask for?

Finding cash for college is
child's play.

The age-old question: Does procrastination help or hinder?
Lindsay Johnson
Co-Editor in Chief
Not only does procrastination help, but it's quickly becoming a preferred method of motivation. It's generally becoming
more acceptable as a way of getting things done. Sure, there are
still some who are against it,
who don't know how to use it,
and who refuse to believe in the
positive power of procrastination. But then, there's the rest of
us.

Procrastination ranks right
up there with Cliffs Notes and
those cool cheat sheets they sell
in the bookstore. At first glance,
it seems like exactly the wrong
way to go about studying or
learning like you're missing out

-

Mike Porcenaluk
Co-Editor in Chief
Ah, the art of procrastination. Procrastination is a balancing act, a fight between good
and evil, right and wrong. By

procrastinating correctly and
finding this balance, an adept
student can fend off bad grades
and at the same time enjoy the
perks of a satisfying social life.
Don't get me wrong, I do
believe that procrastination is a
bad habit. The act of putting off
doing something, either out of
habitual carelessness or laziness, or needlessly postponing
or delaying it, is not something
anyone should get used to
doing.
Effective time management,
however, is a positive thing. I
guess that I rarely procrastinate,
per say, because I am always
working on something. It just
isn't what I am probably supposed to be doing. I spread my
work out into increments oftime
between the slots of time used
for other things such as eating,

on some great moral aspect of
the learning process. But, after
checking into it, maybe trying it
out a bit, you realize that it really has its merit and can actually
help you out in the long run.
For people like me, getting
motivated is a problem. When
you know you've got plenty of
time to work on something, it's
really hard to just sit down and
do it. However, if you procrastinate and wait till much closer to
when it's due, you suddenly find

all that missing motivation in the
fact that you've only got "x"
of time left to do it, so
you'd better get to it.
For example, take this column that Mike and I are writing.
We came up with this idea, to
write about procrastination, during finals week of last semester.
amount

I can't really speak for Mike, but
all during the winter break, I just
couldn't force myself to sit down
and write this column. I knew I
had weeks to work on it, so the
motivation just wasn't there.
Now, only hours before deadline, I know exactly what to
write, and I'm definitely feeling
the pressure to get it done.
Basically, my point is that
procrastination can be an asset
to your study habits, as long as
you use it wisely (such as only
procrastinating on as many
things as you can handle at
once). If you have any questions
or need any help with procrastinating wisely, I'm definitely
willing to lend a hand. Just don't

senior writer for several years.,
He interviewed prominent figures, such as Colin Powell, feminist scholar Dr. Bell Hooks,
Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Spike
Lee, Aaliyah, Suge Knight, and
most famously, the late Tupac
Shakur in several occasions. An

admitted workaholic and risktaker. Powell has alwavs lived
his life on the edge, refusing to
be trapped by the poverty that
shaped his youth. The only
child ol a single mother who left
the rural South in search ol" a
belter life, Powell grew up in the
mean streets of Jersey City, N.J..
Through an intense yearning for
knowledge and a great love of
reading, he overcame countless
obstacles to attend Rutgers
LIniversity in the mid-to-late

1980's,
Political
studying
Science and English. There, he
emerged as a prominent student
activist alongside the then
unknown Sister Souljah. working in the anti-apartheid movement, conducting voter registration drives and launching a
national Black youth and student
alliance. Powell also organized
Black and Latino youth in New

York City's infamous welfare
hotels and helped run a summer
camp for these troubled young

people in North Carolina. He
went on to battle the problems of
the inner city as a social worker
in Newark, N.J., and later
became an English instructor at
New York University's Saturday
High School program. He is
currently writing his childhood
memoir. Also by the late 1980's,
ambition and a burning sense to
tell the truth led Powell to seek a
journalism career, and eventually began freelancing for The
Black American. San Francisco
Weekly,
Stone,
Rolling
Interview, YSB, Emerge, The
Amsterdam News, and elsewhere. The Real World established his public persona in 1992
and that same year Powell wrote
a cover story-on Treach and his
rap group Naughty By Nature
for the premiere issue of Quincy
Jones' highly anticipated Vibe.
Less than a year later, Powell
was named senior writer for
Vibe, where he wrote exclusively until 1996, helping it to
become one of the fastest grow-

ing pop-culture publications in
history. Despite his sudden
entree into the glamorous world
of television and celebrity,
Powell remained true to his
social conscience. He wrote and
hosted the award-winning MTV
special, "Straight from the
Hood," a documentary about
youth life in Los Angeles before
and after the 1992 riots. In an
effort to encourage youth
activism, he created and coordinated "Get Up On It," a multimedia political awareness campaign launched in the November
1995 issue of Vibe. Determined
not to be pigeonholed in the
journalism arena, Powell stuck
with his childhood literary
dreams and published his first
book, In the Tradition: An
Anthology of Young Black
Writers, which he edited with
Ras Baraka(son of noted writer
Amiri Baraka). Powell showcased his lyrical talent, honed in
writing workshops and at the
famous Nuyorican Poets Cafd
and other venues, with a volume
of noetrv. Recopnize Powell's
poetry has also been published
in a number of literary journals,

and he has read and performed
his work to audiences throughout America and Europe.
Powell's other books include a
collection of essays, Kecpin It
Real: Post MTV Reflections On
Race, Sex and Politics, Step Into
A World; A Global Anthology of
the New Black Literature and
most recently, Who's Gonna

Take The Weight: Power,
Politics and The Hip-Hop
Generation. Powell served as
editor for Who Shot Ya? The
Hip-Hop Photographs of Ernie
Paniccioli, which has the distinction of being the first major
pictorial history of hip-hop culture complied by one photographer. Additionally, Powell is the
co-creator, along with April
Silver, of "Hip-Hop Speaks!"
which is both a quarterly community forum in New York City
and a college speaking tour that
stresses the history and four elements of hip-hop (the DJ, the
MC, the graffiti writer and the
dance element) as well as the
political and social responsibilities of hip-hop heads everywhere. Besides Powell and
Silver, the "Hip-Hop Speaks!"
college tour includes noted poet,
activist and educator Ras Baraka
and Atlanta-based turntablist DJ

The Bible tells us that there
is nothing new under the sun
and perhaps the good book is
correct for what is sure to be the

umpteenth time. Nevertheless,
it seems that in American film,
there is emerging a new genre
that has one man as its founder
and sustainer; the man is Ben
Stiller and the new genre that
has formed around him seems to
hold devotion towards humiliating him utterly. In film after
film, ranging back from "There's
Something About Mary" onto
"Meet the Parents,"
and
"Zoolander," all of his movies
wring a lot of their laughs from
forcing Mr. Stiller to be extraordinarily uncomfortable for a
large stretch of the movie before
he eventually ends up victorious.
"Along Came Polly" is
nothing but a stale continuation
in this not necessarily noble tr; dition.
"Along Came Polly," seems
to dearly want to tell the story of
a neurotic (and recently jilted)
professional risk assessor's (Ben
Stiller) flirtation with the unsafe
and unpredictable side of life
that he has spent so much of his
existence analyzing and avoiding. Such "danger" comes from
Jennifer Aniston, a free spirit
with a taste for odd ethnic food.

y-£5=>*K

books lit for the children of the
Grim Reaper, and a fondness for
her rambunctious blind ferret
(the lattermost element being
the only thing that any one I
have talked to about this movie
seemed to be interested in.) I
say that the movie "seems" to
want this because while the plot
appears to lead to this conclusion, the underdeveloped characteri/.ation conies right of a
rote sitcom. Stiller's character
seems only mildly reserved and
cautious while Aniston's character appears somewhat flaky, but
not

nearly flaky enough to

accomplish the movie's aim of
contrasting these two radically
different characters. Because of
the lousy character development, Mr. Stiller's and Mrs.
Aniston's characters seem as

radically different as provolone
and mozzarella cheese.

While the movie subjects
Stiller to uncomfortably spicy

food, lascivious salsa dancing,
and uncomfortable boat rides
with a new potential client, the
film avoids the characters that
might actually have matte this

movie

interesting.

Phillip

Seymour Hoffman's turn as an
ex-child star who's a slob of his
former self and Alec Baldwin's
role as Suiter's boss arc the only
characters who make "Along
Came Polly" appear like something more than a wearily
extended episode of Mrs.
Aniston's "Friends " That the
best laughs in the movie came
from the supporting cast rather
than the leads doesn't speak too
well for the film as a whole.
"Along Came Polly" is neither a wretched movie nor a
laugh-less movie. It's the cinematic equivalent of a Snickers
bar; a mildly tasty snack, but not
one that is even vaguely supposed to be confused with a real

meal.

Tony Blair is now the prime minister of Great Britain, but he didn't always hold so distinguished a post. He once was a guitarist in a band called "Ugly Rumours."
The Irish have some truly imaginative curses. For example, "May the lamb of God stir his hoof through the roof of heaven and kick you in the rear down to hell."

Not all monarchs are truly beloved of their subjects. Charles II of France was widely known as "Charles the Fat." One of his successors, Charles VI, was called "Charles the
Mad." And France's Louis V was called "T outs the Indolent" or "Louis the. lazy."
It was Thomas Carlyle who made the observation: "Love is not entirely a delirium, yet it has many points in common there with."

A lump of clay contains millions of particles of magnetite. When a clay pot is fired, the intense heat of the kiln erases these particles' tiny individual magnetic fields. As the
pot cools, the particles align themselves with the Earth's north pole. Scientists can study pots made thousands of years ago to measure changes in our planet's own giant magnetic field. This is why you so often see archaeologists and geologists fighting over ancient pottery.

Despite the 1-14 record,
Coach Wilson sees steady
improvement on the floor
with each practice and
game. The youth of the
team does take its toll on the
squad however, as they face
tough PSAC opponents
week in and week out.
"We're still trying to find
our identity on the court,"
Wilson says, "but we are
working hard and the guys
still have a good attitude

about the team. I can tell
that they so badly want
something good to happen."
