SCC addresses expansion

Waters stir as trout season nears
Jeff Shaffer
Co-Editor in Chief

Daniella De Luca
Staff Editor
As the number of students
admitted to the university
increases, so does thc demand
for more space as the university
is running out of expansion locations.
The SCC discussed various
proposals for building renovations to Bentley and additions of
an alumni center and playing
field
at
their
meeting
Wednesday night.
The plan to expand Bentlcy
as presented by Vice President
of Student Affairs Dr. Linda
Koch, calls for thc addition of
600 seats to the dining hall, an
elevator, meeting rooms and
restrov .ns on the upper deck and
several other upgrades.
One upgrade coincides with
the food service contract with
Aramark ending in June 2005.
The new concepts, including
coffee, dessert or snack venues,
are to be released once the contract is approved.
With a price tag of about
$7.3 million, and $5.7 million to
be borrowed from thc state, thc
plan is expected to be completed
by fall 2007 with most of the
work being done in the summer.
Electric and other final touches
are expected to happen during
summer sessions in 2006 when
the building will be closed for
W days. A committee is looking
into busing the summer students
to the high school to eat and a
plan to house them in Campus
Village, instead of one of the
dorms, when thc building is
closed.
Dr. Koch said that the plan is
a good one, especially since the
building hasn't been expanded
since 1965, when it was originally intended for 1,800 people.
Other advancements include
a meal plan sign-up online and
being able to pay with credit
cards instead of having a meal
plan or flex dollars.
Just across N. Fairview.

This is your warning call.
There is only a week and a half
to untangle your fishing rods
and get that funky salmon egg
smell out of your vest because
trout season is soon here. The
season officially starts at X a.m.,
on April 16.
Fishing license prices have
risen for the upcoming season.
It's only thc second time in 23
years. In-state college students
can expect to pay the resident
price of S31 for the standard
license and trout/salmon stamp.
Out-of-state college students
can expect to pay S61 for the set.

Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Linda
Koch speaks about the expansion of Bentley Hall
and the future alumni center at the SCC meeting
last Wednesday.
another area creating conflict for
the city is the curbside in front
of Woolridge and Smith Halls.
"It is a safety hazard," said Dr.
Linda Koch, making note of the
pedestrians trying to cross the
street between vehicles and the
limited sight distance. The city
is looking at the situation and
will make exceptions for days
when students are moving in or
out, but no parking signs there
could soon be a reality. Students
can park in the blue lot (the
commuter lot) after 5:00 p.m. if
they desire a shorter walk from
their vehicles to Smith or
Woolridge.
What is now the purple lot,
near the tennis courts, designated for mainly faculty parking
could become an admissions
and alumni center with offices
and a banquet hall.

This Monday, April 11, there
will be also an educational program about becoming a bone
marrow donor so that students
can help people like Jameson,
who need bone marrow so
badly. The program will be held
Monday from 6:30 p.m. - 7:30
p.m. in the Hall of Flags.
Following will be a meeting for
students who would like to help
spread the word about the
importance of donating, by
becoming presenters.
Students will then have the
opportunity to sign up to
become a bone marrow donor
on April 26 from 11 p.m. 4
p.m. in the multipurpose room
ofthe PUB. Jameson says that
it is especially important for college age students to donate bone
marrow.
"College age students are thc
best to give because of the fact
that their immune systems arc

disease than that of an older per-

PFBC hopes to increase the trout
size by an average of 30 percent
with only a few less to catch. It
will take two years for this to
come into effect since the
process will start this summer
and trout remain in hatcheries
for more than 20 months. The
plan was favored by fishing representatives from several organizations across the state during
the 2002 Trout Summit.

"The alumni center will benefit
you now as a student and ten
years from now as alum. The
idea is to help students now and
in the future." The building can
also be used for meetings, conferences and formals. The architects are still in the process of
developing a proposal.
Ideas are still being proposed, but the current purple lot
is to go where the current intramural fields are and those fields
arc proposed to be put in the flat
area ofterrain between High and
McEntire residence halls.
This brought some concerns
to senators including the noise
and lights from the playing field
that could keep students from
studying or sleeping. Dr. Koch
assured them that they would
prevent any disruptions to the
students who live next to the
field or if any other issues arise.

"The anglers and boaters pay
for it, but the money comes right
back to them," he said.
The PFBC feel that they will
take a hit this year but will
rebound by the next year. Any
new licensing markets are under
the jurisdiction ofthe state legislature. Currently, there is a proposal for family group rates and
a three-year fishing license
which would save an avid fisherman a few dollars.
New to this season is the

The reason behind the new
license is an attempt to boost

Another plan underway is
the development of bigger but

One factor, according to
Cloud, was that five other universities in the Pennsylvania
State System of Higher
Education
were formally
searching for provosts, so the
challenge was to make the university look as attractive as possible to the most likely candidates.
"Lock Haven isan attractive
place to work," said Johnson.
"The system is well-funded and
so is the university."
Reminiscent of the presidential search that took place
last year after the retirement of
President Willis, public forums
were held for the provost search
to give all interested faculty and
students a chance to interview
the candidates.
While there are reports of
low numbers of student attendees at the public forums, some
do not feel it was a factor that
was detrimental to an effective
selection process.
"I think [student involvement] was appropriate," said
Johnson, indicating that there is
often an inherent separation
between students and the innerworkings ofthe administration.
Jeremy Kline, the student
representative on the search
committee, admired the choice
ofprovost for having an "outgoing personality." He said that
Aggrey was one ofhis top three
choices sent to the president for
final approval.
"He and his family will fit in
well in the community," said
Kline.
After formal arrangements
have officially placed Aggrey in
the position of provost, he will
begin the transition along with
his wife and three children to
their new home July 1.

For the Eagle Eye
State Representative Mike
Hanna told attendants of the
14th annual Legislator's Day
that the governor's proposal of a
2.25 percent increase in funds
for state universities is not
enough.
The PUB meeting room #2
was filled on March 31 with
local and regional representatives, LHU students and faculty,
and members ofthe Lock Haven
community. The representatives
spoke about budget proposals,
concerns about tuition, grants,
and they also took questions
from the audience.

trict director for Representative
John Peterson, said, "The
Federal government is concerned with student direction.
We want to make the Pell Grants
more accessible to students and
friendlier to non-traditional students."
Representative
Kerry
Benninghoff said that he sees
tuition rates going up in double
digits.
Speaking on behalf of
money issues. Senator John
Wozniak said, "Balancing a
budget is always challenging.
What is driving our budget decisions is healthcare".
Benninghoff agreed with
Wozniak and said that health-

care is not only a local issue, but
a global one. He feels that it is
the biggest issue when it comes
to money. Healthcare for the
state system will be rising 20
million dollars next year, and the
governor's requested increase
will not even cover half ofthat.
In closing Hanna praised
LHU for being the only school
in thc state system that continues
to hold Legislator's Day.
All the Representatives.
Senators, and spokesmen said
that they really enjoy coming to
Lock Haven University and they
are happy to come and speak
here about issues and concerns,
as well as answer any questions
that students may have.

LHU reacts to death
of Pope John Paul II

from "Hoffman".

Pier Salamone
Staff Reporter
After suffering for years
with multiple illnesses. Pope
John Paul IPs 26 year papacy
has sadly come to an end. Many
people, students and adults alike
around the Lock Haven campus
were saddened to hear about thc
Pope's death.
"It was sad for me to hear
about the pope's death. I felt he
was a great man, and I hope the
next pope isjust as great as Pope
John Paul II." said junior Bill
The Pope, who has accomplished numerous things in his
papacy, has been well respected
in the eyes of students.
"I'm sad because he was the
only Pope I've ever known. I
am very happy he accomplished
so much, especially the growth
of the church in third world
countries," said Lock Haven
student Justin Seitz.
The Newman Community,
the on-campus ministry, was
deeply saddened by the Pope's
passing. This past Sunday the
ministry held a mass and prayer
service for him. On April 5 at 0
p.m., a memorial service was
held in the PUB.
Carol Schaffer, who runs thc
campus ministry with her husband Jeff, held high reverence
for the Pope.
"Thc Pope was an extraordinary person and faithful servant
to God. He reached out to the
poor and third world countries.

and especially to the youth. He
was very media savvy and didn't mind being in front ofa stadium full of people or on television. Youth saw him a grandfather type figure, and the Church
will miss him very much."
Even though the Pope has
died, his legacy will be forever
remembered.
"Pope John Paul II had thc
ability to relate well to young
people. Even though his message was stern, he could
empathize with them. We need
to remember that death is not a
way of diminishing life. The
Church is saddened, but we will
celebrate his life and accomplishments," said Father Daniel
O'Neill, campus minister and
pastor
of
Immaculate
Conception Catholic Church in
Lock Haven.
Currently, the Pope is lying
in state in St. Peter's Basilica
with over 15,000 people an hour
paying their respects to him. On
Friday at 10 a.m. the Pope's
funeral will begin, and it will
end with his burial on the
grounds ofSt. Peter's.

Networking works
Jeff Shaffer
Co-Editor in Chief
Finally graduating college? So how much networking have you tried? A good
chance is you'll need to network to get a job after college. 1 hope you made a lot
of friends while you've been
here.
From what I have been
hearing, as well as seeing,
you need to get your name
out there to find the job you
want. It doesn't hurt to be
ambitious; by building a
strong resume, portfolio or
applying on the hundreds of
online job sites. There just
has to be that something
extra. That something you
have been working on almost
your whole life. Your sociability, you need it.
I hope while you have
been here, you have been
involved with several activities. If you're not graduating,
keep at it, or get it started.
The definition of an activity
with sociability can be anything. There are clubs, clubs
and more clubs. You have
fraternities and sororities.
Just making friends in the
dorms or in class and shooting the breeze is better than
just sitting back and watching
contacts slip away. That's the
problem.
You never know

where your lucky break is
going to come from.
You cannot let everyone
come to you either. What
makes you more attractive as
a person is the ability to be a
go-getter. That energetic person that is ready to step out
and face the world. For work
you have to go to the job site,

Toying around with sex
Kelly McCoomb
Guest Columnist
After talking to a friend of
mine, I started wondering about
sex toys and people. How many
of us have them or tried them?
How much would you spend on
one? Why get one? And how
do you go about purchasing
one?

Lately on and off campus
women have been having sex
parties. I've been to a sex party
at my friend's house and I know
a sorority had a party in the
P.U.B. awhile back. We even
now have a Sex Club (for learning) on campus. Now, if you
haven't been to one ofthese parties you need to go. These are

fun parties, and they empower
women in their sexuality.
I'm sure plenty of college
women have sex toys or at least
tried it once. Sex toys are good
for everyone. They spice up the
love life and the best part is that
it empowers your sexuality.
There are plenty of kinds of
toys ranging from vibrators to
butt plugs to penis rings to massage oils to sex games. These
products can be cheap, but they
may be expensive. The prices
vary. For a vibrator you can get
one for $10 to $150, but then
you can buy a penis ring for just
$3 or so.
So why get a toy, and yes, I
say toy, because toys are fun,
and these can be fun, too. I suggest trying some out or at least.

look at them. This may change
your opinion about yourself and
the way you think of sex.
Another reason to try a toy is
that women can have a hard time
reaching an orgasm, and this
might assist her. Trying a toy
can help you learn about your
body's erogenous zones and
what brings you pleasure.
Also, toys are a safe way of
having sex (as long as you clean
them). A vibrator can't get you
pregnant or give you a STD.
A good way to go about seeing and touching these toys is by
going to a sex party. But if you
can't find a party, go to a website
or to a porn shop; we have quite
a few in this area. Trust me the
store clerks won't care. They
have seen a lot of weird things,

and you're not one ofthem!
Now if you decide to buy a
toy, don't spring this surprise on
your partner. Surprising them
can scare them away from trying
it. So take it slow. Tell them
what you bought. Maybe even
show them how it works; it will
probably excite your partner.
It's known that partners get
excited watching their partners
masturbate.
If you don't have a partner,
then you don't need to worry
about any of that. Just do it;
you'll love every minute ofit!
Now, as you probably have
guessed, I have some toys.
Well, I'll just leave you guessing
what those might be. But try a
toy for yourself, for your pleasure. And have FUN!

A sign of immaturity
Dear Editor,
I am thc President of a number of clubs and organizations
on campus, this week one of my clubs is sponsoring a week
of programming that falls in with one of our goals. Thc main
way by which we advertise for our programs is by putting
signs up in Residence Halls and on the walls of Raub and
Bentley Halls.
This week has also been thc SCC, Inc. Executive Board
Elections, who are also using thc space on Raub and Bentley.
Unfortunately some of the Candidates have felt the need
to remove the posters that my organization works hard to produce and hang to get people to our programs and in their
place are posters of the Candidates. I am not attempting to
point a finger at any candidates, but I know that my organizations posters where hung when 1 went to class, and when I
got out they were not and in their place were these candidates
posters.

I was talking to two of the tickets who were running and
they also have seen this with their posters for their cam-

-

By the time any student reads this letter, the SCC elections will have already passed, and that is why I have not
mentioned who I believe is doing this, because it is more the
"point of the crime" rather than the "specific criminals". I
find it quite ironic that people who supposedly want to help
olubs and organizations on our campus are willing to hurt
them for their own political gain.

Professor urges students to
get involved in community
Dear Editor,
The Clinton County Children & Youth Festival has been a
part of LHU's history since the early 1980s. The festival is held
every spring semester to provide educational and recreational
opportunities to area children and youth. The festival also provides an opportunity to our science, education, art/theater,
social work/sociology, and recreation majors to apply their
classroom knowledge to practice interacting with children and
adolescents from our surrounding communities. Last year, over
100 LHU students participated in the festival fulfilling their
volunteer hours required in their majors. Over 25 student
organizations and classes actively participated in the festival.
The Festival will be held this year on April 9 (Saturday),
2005, in Thomas Field House. The theme for the festival as
chosen by our students is "Discover Your World". The threehour long festival begins at 1p.m. with a ribbon -cutting ceremony. We would appreciate if you encourage your students to
participate in the festival either as volunteers or as providing
educational and recreational activities to children and adolescents.
For more information as to how your students can engage in
the festival, please call or send email either one of us. we will
be glad to discuss the event. The success of the festival
depends on our faculty and student participation.

Videogames are not the cause of
aggressive behavior among kids
Matthew McKeague
Weekly Columnist
We have all heard that
videogames cause violence in
some way, from the "Beavis
and Butthead" Syndrome
when kids see things on television or videogames and copy
them, to the desensitizing children. As a videogame player
since the NES, I have played
every type of game there is
and I think that a child becoming violent from videogames
is not the videogames' fault.
Let us examine the latest
installment of the Resident
Evil series, Resident Evil 4,
where a FBI agent has to look
for the missing daughter of the
president in a Spanish town.
Well, more not-so-original
events ensue and it is discovered that a parasitic creature
inhabits the villagers, controlling what they do. Sure there
is a lot of blood, gore, and cranial explosions, but take what
is happening in the game into
context. This guy is being
attacked by bunches of villagers and creatures... 1 would
hope that a natural reaction
would be self-defense.
I would hope that players
mock the game so they could
survive in real life. If a 400pound man with a burlap sack
over his head is running at you
while wielding a chainsaw, I
could only hope that you
remember what happened in
the game. It's teaching selfdefense. So if a child mocks
events that help him or her
later on in life in the correct
situation, then they are not
becoming violent. They are
just using what they learn.
Now, let's take a game like
Grand Theft Auto containing
mindless violence where you
can hijack cars, pimp women,
and kill anyone in a number of

different ways. Innocent people walking down the street
can die from the bludgeoning
of a sex toy. I am serious.
Now if that video game is
copied exactly how it plays,
then its result will serve no
purpose because nobody will
ever need to know how to kill
innocent civilians.
We are not even positive
that people mock video games
or make people less sensitive
to violence.
On the news,
have you ever seen somebody
arrested for climbing around
in the sewers, eating mushrooms, bashing blocks with
their heads, jumping on turtles
with a surrounding group of
people cheering him on? I
don't think so. If somebody
really gets into a video game
and really gets involved as the
character in the game, as all
the epic games have, then
there is no reason that children
will act them out.
Epic games such as Zelda,
where you play as the main
character Link, you become
involved with the story. You
want to rescue the princess.
You want to thwart the plans
of evil. You want to poke
things with sharp objects to
make hearts pop out. Well,
maybe not so much thc last
one, but the character Link
was actually named Link
because he becomes the link
between the player and the
game. (You never know, it
may be a question on Jeopardy
some day or something.)
Videogames might even be
a release. Some people ask
the question, "Would you
rather me kill people for real
or in a video game?" Good
question. Crazed psychos getting out their disturbances by
"killing" some animated characters?
Hey, it could save
some lives. Does that mean
there should be games fulfill-

ing non-acceptable urges like
Pedophilia Brothers or Grand
Theft Auto: Al Qaeda Edition?
I think not. There is a fine line
there.
In a study by Anderson and
Dill (2000), they suggested
that videogames caused players of a violent game to be
more aggressive than those of
a peaceful game. They arrived
at this conclusion by letting
players blast another participant with a loud noise in a
booth afterward. The players
that lost the round of the
shooting game blasted people
0.16 seconds longer than those
who played the peaceful game.
Number I: Sixteen-hundredths of a second longer is
about as important as the
rate
of
metabolic
thc
Australian Dingo to an auto
mechanic. Number 2: They
specified that the players that
lost in the violent game blasted longer. This looks past the
real cause of the 0.16 greater
time, and means that the competitive aspect and losing
made the blasters more
aggressive, not just because
they played the violent game.
Most people get a bit perturbed when they do not outplay others and I don't think
anybody strives to lose. Thc
researchers did not put anything into context.
Maybe video games do not
influence people to go out and
kill somebody, and maybe
people do because they have
dysfunctional families and get
picked on every day at school.
People blame a lot on
videogames and I think it's
because we like to blame inanimate objects instead of people.
Blaming media like
movies, TV shows, and
videogames that are produced
and thought of by people but
blame
we
the
actual
videogames because we're

afraid to think that wc thc people could be the problem.
In South Park: Bigger,
Longer, and Uncut, the mothers try to blame the foul language and actions of their
children on Canada and say,
"We must blame them as the
cause offuss before somebody
thinks ofblaming us." Funny?
Yes. Representative of how a
lot of adults act about media?
I think so.
Whether
believe
you
videogames cause violence or
not, it all comes down to what
the kid is like, and I think most
of you will agree. If the player is smart enough to realize
that violence in the videogame
is for the videogame and can
determine real life from
videogame, then they arc fine.
If the player already has preexisting mental problems, then
of course they could think that
the video game is giving them
messages to assassinate thc
president or go be violent.
But, a person with a severe
enough mental condition can
find subliminal messages in
their alphabet soup. So 1 say,
stop blaming videogames for
causing violence and to those
that do, take a look at how
kids are being brought up for
the underlying problem in this
situation.

We will all take a little
piece of haven with us
Lisa kiwak
Guest Columnist
It was Tuesday evening,
the beginning of our second
"spring break," and I found
myself at the bar. Where else
would 1 be at the start of a
nice, long break. A man came
into the bar and began talking
to the bartender, my friend and
[. Forgive me for not remembering his name, but may 1
remind you it was the first
night of break.
But what do remember
was that he proposed a question to the three of us, why do
students stay in Lock Haven?
We threw around a few ideasnothing concrete, but he did
manage to do one thing and
that was get me to think. I
myself am a returning student,
so why Lock Haven?
Perhaps it's the fact that for
many of us this is our first
home away from home. Or
maybe it's the fact that over
the course of those 4 or 5
years that you are here, the
bonds you make run so much
deeper than friendship. Your
friends become your family,
and they help you deal with
everything from hangovers to
heartache. They become our
doctors when we are sick, our
therapists when we need to
talk, and our babysitters when
we drink far too much.
Perhaps
the
Dave
Matthews Band said it best,
"turns out not where but who
you're with that really matters."
But I think it's more than

'

the bonds we make. There is
something special about a tiny
town tucked away in Central
Pennsylvania. "There is nothing to do here," we have all
been guilty of saying this or at
least thinking it. But that is
the fun of this town. It makes
us all a little bit more creative.
How many of us can say
we
floated
down
the
Susquehanna River before
coming to school here? And
how many of us can say we
have had a gorgeous view of
the fall foliage from right outside our window, before living
in Woolridge or Smith Halls?
How many of us have spent
hours sitting outside on campus because the idea of getting
to know each other a little bit
better was so much more
appealing than that history or
math class?
The truth is I have spent a
lot of time in this town, and I
still can't put my finger on
what makes Lock Haven,
Lock Haven. And I am sure
most ofyou can't either. But I
doknow that I will return back
to this place. Maybe it will be
for homecoming, or perhaps
I'll need to make a trip to State
College and I'll stop as I drive
through, but I'll come backwe all will.
While those 4 or 5 years
are flying by this place
becomes a part of us, it makes
us who we are, and we will all
take a little piece of this town
with us when we leave.

Students lend a hand while enjoying spring break in Mexico
Sarah ML Wojcik
Staff Reporter
Parades, parties, pals, and

perfect weather. Does this sound
like a spring break community
service trip? If it doesn't then
perhaps you are not familiar
with the relatively new spring
break community service project
to Zacatecas, Mexico, offered by
MountainServe and the Institute
for International Studies. This
year's trip, much like last year's,
was an overwhelming success.
The week, according to
many ofthe students that attended, was full of fun and remarkable learning experiences in
only its second year in existence.
"I could not have done anything better," said Taylor Gary a
freshman that attended the trip.
Approximately 20 students
attended the S800 trip to central
Mexico from March 5-13.
Among the travelers were freshmen from the Honors and FYI
programs, upperclassmen not
accustomed to international
travel as well as graduate students from the university's
physician assistant program.
Students partook in a similar
service project to last year's
which included work in the Casa
Cana Orphanage. During the
mornings students planted a garden and, upon the suggestion of
student Rebecca Morgan, also
painted a mural. The students
also visited an organization that
serves children with Downs syndrome, cerebral palsy and

autism, called APAC, during the
afternoons. The private organization has a strong relationship
with Lock Haven's sister school
in Zacatecas, Tecnologico de
Monterry- Campus Zacatecas.
Ann-Marie Turnage, director of
MountainServc at Lock Haven
called this organization "a pleasure to work with."
The graduate students that
attended the trip had the unique
opportunity ofrunning two clinics during the trip. They helped
out at a home for elderly nuns
called Asilo Juan Diego, where
they checked blood pressure and
heart rates, among other standard tests such as vision and
hearing. Another objective for
the trip was spreading awareness
about diabetes among the nuns.
The second clinic was established in a small rural town,
Chilitas, where the population of
300-400 had no available healthcare. Turnage was happy for the
chance to offer some time for
students to travel outside of the
beautiful colonial Zacatecas.
"When you get into rural
Mexico, that's when you see the
conditions of Mexico as
opposed to the U.S." she said.
The contrast, she hoped, would
put into perspective the great
need for such service in
Mexico's rural regions.
Not all of the students that
made the trip were healthcare
majors, and yet they seemed to
gain a wealth ofexperience from
this encounter nonetheless. In
fact, majors ranged widely from

donkey parades, to the dance
clubs, every night was a blast. I

sive amounts about thc history
ofZacatecas.
Domestic spring break service trips have been available to
students on campus for years.
Now there is an option to go
abroad and still perform exemplary service. Turnage wanted to
encourage students to pay the
extra amount to go to Zacatecas
because of the extra advantages
that can be had. She pointed out
that it is a great opportunity for
students that are considering
going abroad but arc still unsure.

Although the weather has

Dove earns title of Mr. Haven in contest

Staff Reporter
They sang, danced, flaunted
their bodies in swimsuits, formal
and casual wear, and answered
intense questions, but in the end,
only one guy could be crowned
thc first Mr. Haven.
After open auditions were
held which were available to all
LHU male students, eight guys
were chosen to compete to be
the first Mr. Haven ever in the
competition sponsored by the
Sophisticated Ladies. The contestants included James Bodkin
ofHilltown Pa, Walter Brown Jr.
of Philadelphia, Nafis Butler of
Philadelphia, Erie Coney Jr. of
Miami Fl, Eddie Dove of North
Philadelphia, Mitchell Dwayne
Floyd of Coatesvillc Pa, Javion
Andrew OJ Lewis of Southwest
Philadelphia, and Charles
Mickens-Banks
of
North
The contestants had to prove
themselves to the judges while
impressing thc audience. The
judge panel was made up of the
faculty including Dr. Broomer,

Dr. Campbell, Dr. Hoffman, Dr.
Adams, and President Keith
Miller along with SCC candidates Del Sellers and Sonya
Federici.
The event began with a performance by the eight competitors in which they serenaded and
threw red roses to the audience.
Performances were also held by
groups such as MPBK and a
group visiting from Oregon
State. Dances were also performed that impressed the audience.
There were other, "commercials" throughout the performance, such as PowerPoint
slideshows and a raffle with
prizes from vendors downtown.
"Everyone did a great job! I
enjoyed the whole thing especially the swimsuits," said student Becky Libengood.
Thc eight competitors were
judged on a variety of smaller
contests. They
dressed to
impress in both their casual and
formal wear while being escorted by eight girls dressed in similar attire. Perhaps the audience's
favorite contest was the swim-

males impressed the audience
with their bodies. They also
demonstrated a wide variety of
talents during the Mr. Haven talent show.
From an intellectual side, the
guys had two opportunities to
impress the judges with their use
of words. Each guy was asked
two interview questions, which
were different from those asked
of the other competitors. Each
guy was also asked to explain
who their inspiration was in life.
The answers varied from their
mothers, their fathers, older
brothers, younger sisters, and
more.
"I thought it was a lovely
event." stated student Kennesha
Gillard. "they put a lot of effort
into this program."
When thc night was almost
over, it was time for the judges
to choose the first Mr. Haven.
Third place was awarded to
Mitchell Floyd and second place
to Charles Mickens-Banks.
However, when it came down to
Mr. Haven himself, thc judges
chose Eddie Dove.

according to Chelakis, was
working with actors who weren't
accustomed to performing with
Shakespearian text. Reading a
play by Shakespeare in class is
very different from seeing it performed on stage.
The two breaks in March
also cut into precious rehearsal
and preparation time. Even
through all the setbacks, the
University Players and cast still
pulled off an almost flawless
first performance.
Physical comedy was a large
part ofthe production, especially when it came to the parts of
Nick Bottom (Mark Petrucelli)
and the mischievous fairy Puck
(Shawn Ergler). The biggest
laughs came from watching
those two characters.
Jen Hnatko said, "I was
impressed with how well the
student actors and actresses
were able to express the genuine
humour found in the written
play."
The play will be showing
this Thursday, Fnday and
Saturday at 8 p.m. The tickets
are free for all LHU students and
faculty members.

William
Shakespeare's
famous play "A Midsummer
Night's Dream" debuted at Lock
Haven University Thursday. The
play, directed by Gino Chelakis,
opened to a packed house in
Sloan Theater.
The new twist on the old
work made the production more
appealing to the average college
audience.
Heather Frank said, "1
thought it was really interesting
how they used the old
Shakespearean language in the
1920's because it gave it a
unique twist that other adaptations ofthe play don't have."
Chelakis said that he chose
this particular era to set the performance in so he, as the artist,
could better display the real
world versus the fairy world and
how those two opposites intermingle. He went on to say that
he'd never seen a production of
"A Midsummer Night's Dream"
set in the Roaring Twenties. In
his director's note, he states that

HIV causes a gradual depletion of the immune system,

being HIV positive and know*
ing the truth. Others believe that
it just cannot happen to them.
Some students also feel that
HIV tests are only for excessively sexually promiscuous people
even though it only takes one
time of sexual contact with an
infected individual to contract
the virus.
Sophomore Joshua Powell
says that students who don't get
tested either don't want to face
their problems or are afraid of
what people will think if they
find out that they are HIV positive.
"There are associations with
HIV that if you have it you are
probably a 'dirty' person in some
people's eyes, plus it is the cause
of AIDS," said Powell on why
there is such a stigma attached
to the virus and a fear of being
tested.
A. David Paltiel, chairman
of the division of health policy
and administration at Yale
University, says it would be a
good thing if HIV screenings
were offered to all Americans.
"To the extent we make it
routine, we'll reduce the stigma
associated with getting an HIV
test," said Paltiel.
Although HIV is a very serious infection, many people are
living longer lives because of
new medications, says healthlink.mcw.edu.
You can still have the virus
and feel perfectly healthy. Talk
with a health care provider or
counselor if you have questions
about testing. You can also go to
a doctor or health department
for testing. Visit www.aidsandhivtesting.com

The virus can be spread

In Pa. in 2003 there were
