Attention Students:

»

Shifts in parking locations
for next semester, as decided by
the LHU parking committee,
have become the inevitable byproduct ofthe incoming Alumni
Center.
The projected site for the
Alumni Center is within the
parking lot (reserved for those
with purple decals, primarily
faculty) in front of the tennis
courts and beside the old boiler
plant. In order to make way for
the construction, three ofthe 10
tennis courts will be eradicated
and the lot used by faculty will
have to be relocated.
Thc popular "purple" lot will
be moved to a location behind
Zimmerli Gym; a lot which was
originally reserved for commuters. Commuters will be
asked to use a new lot adjacent
to their former one. It stands in
the place of thc intramural
sports field and is newly
expanded and paved.
Douglas Wion. a member of
the parking committee, admits
that commuters may lose some
of their spaces in that area, but
assures that they will be accommodated elsewhere.
"There are more spaces on
the whole for students next
year," Wion announced.
Jack Stadium is usually able
to hold a great deal of students
that need a place to park, and
developments are underway to
have a "'shuttle running include
runs to the stadium" according
to Wion.

The new spot for the "purple" lot should not cause too

EAGLE EYE

much a stir among faculty, Wion
predicts, since the faculty was
required to park there in the
past. The fee for receiving a
decal for the faculty "purple" lot
is expected to stay the same, at
S30 a space.
Rick Lilla, another member
of the parking committee, surmised that the university will
keep the rates near their current
price, since the "purple" spaces
are typically filled quickly.
Lilla also predicts that some
faculty may take their chances
in buying "gold" decals, with
locations all over campus, since
the walk from the new lot may
not provide such a bargain as
before. These decals are also
considerably less expensive, at
$5 a space, though spots arc not
guaranteed as they are with
"purple" lots.
In the end. will these
changes cause more of a burden
for the parking situation on campus? Not really, says Wion.
Though parking may seem
tighter in some places, compromises are underway to open lots
for student access elsewhere on
campus. Ultimately though, faculty and students will be getting
more ofa work-out.
"A lot of folks will be walking somewhat farther." Wion
noted, adding optimistically thai
exercise is certainly a good
thing.
The LHU professor joined
the parking committee over a
decade ago. as a "disgruntled
parker" himself.

University and state police apprehended and arrested a non university student on April 20 outside of
Price Auditorium sometime between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. They arrested the man based on prior felonies
and warrants. At press time, local authorities were unable to make a comment about the arrest.

Gas prices jump at the pumps across country
Emily Carey
Staff Reporter
Right now, the average
national price for a gallon of gas
is $2.83 and experts are predicting thc situation will only get
worse.
Last week, thc price of crude
oil. which is instrumental in the
production of gasoline, reached
a record high of $72 per gallon.
That cost directly contributes to
the rise in price at the pumps.
According to an April 11
article on MSNBC.com, gas
prices have risen 15 percent in
the past six weeks. The U.S.
Information
Energy
Administration predicts that a
gallon of gas will average $2.62
this summer during the peak
driving season.
Thc increasing cost of gas is
causing some consumes to
resort to drastic measures. Some
sell their cars, some are forced
to shut off their phone or other
utilities and others choose to
steal.

Gas stations lost approximately S237 million in 2004 due
to people driving off without
paying.
High gas prices also have
some students readjusting, and
even canceling, their summer
vacation plans.
"If gas prices get much
worse, I won't be able to afford
to go anywhere this summer."
said senior Kimberly Brendle.
"I'm also afraid that the
price of gas might prevent some
of my family members from
coming to graduation," she said.

The average
national price for a
gallon of gas is
$2.83 and experts
predict the
situation will only
get worse.

Graduating students experience beneficial job market
Melissa Trentadue
Staff Reporter
As graduation rolls around in
just a few weeks for the seniors,,
students are beginning to plan
their lives as they pack away
their books and begin to make
the dreaded move back home to
enter into the real world.
While some students are
planning on going back to
school to receive their masters,
others students are finding themselves still sending out resumes
and attending job interviews,
and a few lucky students have
their jobs lined up for them;
which seems to be the case
among college students along
the United States.
A recent study which was

done a few weeks ago by the
of
National
Association
notes
Colleges and Employers,
that more than 60 percent of
employers plan to hire more college graduates this year.
This has allowed numerous
students to have jobs lined up
for them since the fall semester
of their senior year, and they
have not had to undergo the
stress ofthc job process.
"We're seeing a greater
range of opportunities opening
up for new college graduates,"
said Marilyn Mackes, the association's executive director.
"Employers said they plan to
hire 9.8 percent more college
students than they did last year."
Nationally, college graduate
job placement is expected to
increase overall by 11.1 percent

from last year, according to thc
report. In the Midwest alone,
employers said they plan to hire
9.8 percent more college graduates this year.
This statistic is only proving
to be beneficial for the class of

.

2006.

College officials suggest that
students take advantage of the
Career Centers that University's
have available for students.
Even for students who have a
major in a tough and competitive market, college Career
Centers are important resources
for students who want to find the
perfect job in the area of expertise in a reasonable amount of
time.

Since the job market is so
competitive, the Career Center
makes sure that students arc

propped and ready to attend job
interviews and meet potential
employers.
"The C areer Center not only
helps students prepare for interviews, but it also connects us
with companies all over the
nation."
senior
Cody
Michalowski said.
Although using internet job
search engines are ideal for college students, the Career ( etiiers
offer other options and a variety
ofresources.
However the students go
about finding their jobs,
employers are more then willing
to hire them this year. This
brings hope that as each year
comes along, more employers
will be willing to hire college
graduates, allowing the process
to be easier as the years go on.

The new Town Tavern reopens with renovations
William Dowd

The new owners of Town
Tavern, 51 Bcllefonte Ave.,
completed renovations March

March 21.
The renovations had a
rough start due to the Tavern
having a break in. The bur-

LCD screens, a 20 inch TV.
The break in occurred the
Tuesday before thc reopening. They aren't sure who did
it. The police have finger

Saturday concludes Greek
week with Airbands, which
tops to be a favorite event of
all Greek students.
Each fraternity and sorority picks a particular song to
perform, and have to lip-sync
the lyrics while performing a

The flag may be gone,
but our Pride lives on
Kelly McCoomb
Guest Columnist
I started writing this with a
loss of words, but now, I have
words.
On Friday. I was informed
that the Pride Flag was gone. It
had been taken or stolen. When
a friend told me that he had seen
some guys running off with the
flag, my heart dropped.
I wouldn't have predicted
that I'd react like that, but I did.
I was hurt, angry, and discouraged.
I hadn't heard that Janclle
Walters had proposed to hang
the Pride Flag at Bentley. but
when I first saw it, I smiled. It
made me feel happy: happy with
the world and especially this
campus when it seemed they
were being accepting and openminded.
To me. the Pride Flag is
more than being proud ofbeing
gay. It means being proud to be
yourself, accepting love of all
kinds, freedom, friendship,
diversity, caring for others, and
so much more. So when people
tore down the Pride Flag, it was
tearing all that away.
Something you may not
know about "our" Pride Flag
Beth Baker made it herself, then
Walters prepared it for display.
These two people put their time,
money, and most of their hearts
into making this Pride Flag.
Who gave those people the
right to steal the Pride Flag? It
was NOT theirs. They vandalized private property.
These are obviously closeminded people who may do
what others tell them to do. The
likelihood of these people and
anyone reading this column of
knowing a homosexual or bisexual is very high. The thing is.

-

they just might have not talked
to you about their sexual orientation, and they don't have to.
Straight people don't tell their
family and friends. "Hey, I'm
straight!"
Now. I don't get how
someone being in love with

another person would hurt anyone. It's love, not hate. So. get
over your hate! The Pride Flag
hanging at Bentley was hurting
no one. No one ripped down the
art in Sloan that offended some,
because it wasn't theirs to
deface. So, why despoil the
Pride Flag?
This was a "hate crime," and
the ironic thing is that last
Wednesday a film was shown on
hate crimes. A hate crime is
defined as "a crime that violates
the victim's civil rights and that
is motivated by hostility to thc
victim's race, religion, creed,
national origin, sexual orientation,
or
gender."
(dictionary.com) If you ever
w itness this kind of misconduct,
call for help and fight back. You
can't hope that someone else
will raise a cry of injustice. You
must take action and begin to
make a difference before any
change in attitudes and behaviors will occur.
This w ill be addressed on the
Day of Silence, a day designated
for people to be silent for those
people who have been silenced
by hate crimes.
I will NOT be silent this day,
because I will speak out against
people who perpetrate this kind
ofcrime.
Please do not support these
close-minded people who refuse
to grow. They might have taken
the Pride Flag, but we have
more pride and it still lives on in
our hearts.

Four years has come and
almost gone, and as you look
around you may start to take
notice of things that you never
saw were there before. You are a
senior and about to graduate and
you find that you now ask yourself. "Will 1 ever sec these people again?" And as you start to
ponder this question, you realize, unfortunately, that the
answer is probably. "No." I
recently have thought about this
question myself and started to
reminisce about thc people I
have met over the past four
years. Although you may feel
that four years really isn't a long
time, building relationships of
any sort, takes time and the ones
that are meant to last, will, and
the others will just fizz out.
Suddenly having the epiphany
of mine made me want to write
this letter.

I have met many people over
thc past years and some have left
my life as quick as they came in,
and others will remain in my
life. I'm sure this scenario is

Too much noise and pollution on campus
Dear Editor,
The purpose of this letter is

it is. In fact, every time that the

feeling.
What I do not like is loud

Beautiful" I have ever heard.
The sound took me back to the
3rd grade when my older sister
played her clarinet at thc Pulaski
Elementary School Talent Show.
With all the beautification

that has been happening on the
campus over the last 10 years,
why would the University
choose such horrible sounds to
fill the air?
I thought that thc parade of
treble and bass that comes
screaming out of passing convertables was bad, but at least
those songs were in tunc and on
time, which is more than I can
say for the Frederick's Bell
Tower.
I love the fact that the Tower
rings the time, but I'm embarrassed when it plays songs. The
Fredericks family has been very
generous to the University with
all their donations, but you
should make sure that what you
choose to represent our institution is of the best possible quality, not the most dollars.
Lock Haven University of
Pennsylvania has an obligation
to the community that houses
them. Not only the community.

but to the planet that houses
them. There is an awful lot of
waste that this institution creates, as I'm sure you know.
Some of the waste can be recycled into new products, in fact,
the Lock Haven community has
a recycling program in place.
The University should also
adhere to a strict recycling program.
I see all the recycling bins
located in building around campus, in fact, I personally requested and received recycling bins in
thc Student Recreation Center.
That procedure opened my eyes
to thc recycling problem here on
campus. I was told that putting
bins in buildings doesn't mean a
thing.
Recyclables arc just
being mixed back in with regular garbage, so why put a bin in
place?
Lock Haven University of
Pennsylvania should be the leading advocates in the Lock Haven

"The most interesting one
was thc Coca-Cola symposium. It talked about the food

in making Coke," said Nines.
There were also resume
workshops and mock job interviews.
Every year the club has to
send a report to the ACS to be
considered a recognized student affiliate of the organization. The ACS has a committee
that looks at thc academics,
attendance at events and community service of each club
and the awards are given based
on those criteria.
There arc three levels of
awards: honorable mention,
commendable and outstanding. The LHU Chemistry Club
received a commendable

As the 2006 baseball season
winds down, the Bald Eagles
snapped a seven game losing
streak, taking game one from
California University 5-4.
Lock Haven went on to lose
game two of the double header
5-0.
Picking up the win for LHU
was sophomore Pat Young.
Young went all seven innings
allowing fours runs on eight
hits while walking one and
striking out four.

"Pat Young is the only real
original starter we have had.
He is as good as any pitcher in
the conference," said coach
Smokey Stover on his ace right
hander.
With the victory. Young
moved to 4-4 on the year.
After trailing 1-0 after the
top of thc first Kurt Elbin got
things started with a one out
single to right. Next up was
Nate Roman who hit a double
moving Elbin to third. With
runners on second and third
Travis Ruane hit a sac fly to left
to knot the game at one.

Garrett Grazianol Eagle Eye

Glenn Sharrar drove in the winning run on the walk-off single in a 5-4 win.
"Ruane is one of the top
catchers in the conference, his
bat is really coming around and
Nate Roman is going to be a

great hitter.

He has had some

good clutch hits for us," said

coach Smokey Stover.
The bats fell silent for both

teams until the fourth inning
when LHU pulled ahead 2-1.
Freshman Ted Stake led the
inning off with a triple to cen-

Preston Hitchcock fol-

Some defensive lapse in thc
top of the sixth inning allowed
Cal. to build a 3-2 lead.
Lock Haven would not give
up, gaining their lead right back
in the bottom half of the inning
scoring two of their own. Glen
Sharrar led the inning off with a
bang, homering to left, tying the
score at three. Senior Kyle
Elbin reached base on a fielder's choice and then stole second getting into scoring position for Zach Schuler. Schuler
would single up the middle
bringing Kyle Elbin around to
score making the score 4-3
LHU.
A resistant Cal. would tie it
up again in thc top of the seventh, but LHU was determined
to win scoring the winning run
on a Glen Sharrar single. With
two outs, freshman Matt Palko
doubled and advanced to third
on an error, setting up the dramatic win.
Lock Haven will finish thenseason this week, with two double headers this weekend hosting Indiana University of Pa. on

With soggy conditions that
resulted in a limited roster, the
track and field team visited
Bucknell University for the Bison
Outdoor Classic.

Inclement weather prevented
the hucksters from living up to
their fullest, but it didn't stop
them from turning in some decent
performances.
"The weather was very disappointing for us," commented
head coach Mark blliston. "We
are looking forward to better
weather this weekend for our last
home meet Sunday."
The Haven women had no
finishes outside ofthc top six during the rainy event. Leading the
way for thc Bald Lagles was Bri
Palazzi. who took third in the
triple jump with a PSAC qualifying 36-feet-2 1/4 leap. Two spots
ahead of her was teammate
Nicole Kulp, who recorded a 16feet-7 1/2 leap in the rain.
Palazzi also earned a fifth in
the long jump (16-feet-l 3/4) and
was pari of the third place finishing 4x100 meter relay team along
with teammates Diane Sujansky,
Maggie Borden, and Laura
Phillips. The quartet finished in
50.37, a PSAC Qualifying mark.
Borden also garnered her second top three finish and second
qualifying mark of the day in the
400 meter run, crossing the Itne

in 59.36.
Freshman Ashley Solyan finished fourth in the III) hurdles,
crossing thc line in 16 64. while
teammate C helsea Morse tied for
fifth in thc high jump (4-feet-9).
Thc throwing events proved
successful for the Haven w omen,
as Richelle Reed and Natalie
Marsh finished fourth and fifth,
respectively, in the hammci
throw. Reed recorded a 141-feet8 toss while Marsh had a 139feet-4 3/4 throw.
"Reed had a season's bed in
thc hammer despite there being a
couple of inches of water in thc
circle." said assistant coach
Aaron Russell.
Marsh also finished sixth in
the discus (116-feet-4 3/4), Both
throws for Reed and Marsh were
PSAC qualifying marks.
Other PSAC qualifiers tor the
women were Missy Weaver
(1500m, 5:01.10); Kat Dave)
(1500m, 5:02.7); and Shala
Simms (800m. 2:19.83).
For the men, freshman Mall
Bitten grabbed a fourth place I'm
ish in thc 400 hurdles, taking thc
tape in 59.45.
"Simms ran her best 800m of
thc season so far,"' noted Elliston.
"Bitten ran his best timeso far as
well. Despite the meet being a
complete washout, our athletes
fared pretty well."
The track and Held teams will
be back in action on Thursday.
April 27 for thc Penn Relays. On
Sunday. April 30 the track and

I would also like to thank my fellow editors

1. LHU athletics.

There were some very special moments for
Lock Haven athletics this year and being able
to talk and write about them was what working
on college paper is all about. Whether it was
talking about championships, tough endings or
interviewing athletes, they all made my job as
sports writer, columnist, and editor fun.

Come on, this is my last chance to throw my

This being my last column 1 am going list
my top five favorite sporting events 1 wrote
about while this column was in existence.
Counting down.
5) The curses of baseball.
I had some fun looking into and poking run
at some of the curses in the game, but at the
time also might have uncovered another. I said
that Barry Bonds, yea that same Barry Bonds
who is the most liked man in baseball, you
know him, we are on the same page might
have cursed my Pittsburgh Pirates. I said there
were no curses in baseball, but after deep
thought, this is serious stuff. Just look at the
Bucos now. Look what The Bambino made
Boston go through, and the Cubs. Say it isn't
so.
4) Curling.
My new favorite game and I know I am not
alone on this one. It was awesome getting into
this new and unique game. I talked terms and
strategies, but it was the unknown that made it
so attractive to many of us.
3. Penn State Football.
It was so nice to be able to watch Joe
Paterno and his boys make Happy Valley just
that, happy again. It was truly special to watch
what they did this year, but knowing they were
that close to perfection. You never know.
2. The Steelers.
What an amazing ride it was and what
made it even better was being able to write
about it. Watching the perfect run at the end
was one of the most enjoyable times of my life
and seeing Bettis go out on top was just plain

victory gives her the top singleseason mark in LHU history, topping Shona Guevara's 19-5 season a year ago.
Senior first baseman Danielle
Fraser struck for the lone run. ripping a double to score classmate
Courtney Hughes.
Game two allowed for a bit
more offense, as four Lady
Eagles had multi-hit games. Erb

If you are looking for a

for you.
The work that was put into

the demons were very abstract
and had a sense of video game

The movie was based off of
a video game and it actually

"They are so eager for attention and for anyone to interact

kicked off the conference.
He laid the foundation for
the workshops that the students
participated in throughout the
day.

"What we are means more
than what we say," said

Worthy.
toP ics
Some of the
addressed at thc conference
were interpersonal and inlrapersonal skills, learning how to
work amongst differences, and
male and female relations.
The male and female workshop involved students narrowing down qualities that each
would want in a partner.
It also touched on the characteristics of a relationship.
Thc conference addressed
qualities that would not normally be associated with leadership.
These included how one
enters a room, body language,
and understanding romantic
relationships.
The exercises taught students that how they act impacts

other people, even ifresults are
immediately obvious.
"No leader is an island,"
said Worthy, talking about the
importance of our actions
when it comes to interacting
with others.
"One of the purposes of the
conference is to influence more
diversity on campus," said
Mitch Floyd, president of the
Black Student Union.
The BSUprovided food and

Speakers at the conference
were Julie and Michael

Students jazz up spring concert

Conductor and composer
John Philip Sousa once said that
jazz would endure just as long
as people hear it through their
feet instead of their brains. Feet
were surely tapping to the beat
in the Jazz/Rock Ensemble and
Combo's
Concert
Spring
Sunday, April 23.
The ensemble, a full 21piece 1930*3 type big band
group, and the combo, a 10piece group playing older jazz
and newer jazz, join together at
the end of each semester to do a
tour of local high schools and
elementary schools and perform
an on-campus concert.
The songs for Sunday's serenade in Price Auditorium featured big band swing dance
selections, slow ballads and fast
jitterbugs. Dixieland tunes, bop
classics, jazz ditties, rock tunes
and two funk tunes were also
highlights of the concert.
Dr. Glenn L. Hostcrman,
Professor of Music in the
Department ofPerforming Arts,
hosted and conducted the spring
recital.
Dr. Hosterman said the
recital music is chosen at the
start of each semester so that
there is plenty of time to practice. He buys a variety of newly
written full ensemble and
combo charts that repfesent the
various styles ofjazz. He chooses selections that will highlight
the talents of the student
soloists.
This small ensemble of jazz
musicians also contributes much
of its time to other on-campus
activities such as dances and
ceremonies. The Jazz/Rock
Combo previously contributed
its melodious capabilities to
playing the ceremonial music in
thc Spring Honors Convocation
on April 9. The group will play a
concert at Lock Haven Hospital

Appreciation Day. Wednesday
at 1 p.m.

Marina

The Jazz/Rock Ensemble and Combo Spring Concert features 1930 s style
music including big band swing dances, slow ballads and fast jitterbugs.
Many of the jazz solos that
were performed were highly
improvised, as jazz is a passionate art form that requires human
emotions and soul-driven beats,
Dr. Hosterman says it takes a
great deal of self-confidence for
students to compose melodies
on the spur of the moment. In
fact, one of the best rewards of
Dr. Hosterman's job. he says, is
giving the very gifted students a
chance to exhibit their talents.
"The students did an excellent job. the soloists excelled,
the ensemble played very well,
and thc audience gave us a
standing ovation," said Dr.
Hosterman. "It doesn't get any
better than this."
Dr. Hosterman encourages

students to pursue music if it is
an interest. Currently, private
voice and instrumental lessons
are available for those who
wish to study. Most of the students in the ensembles have
played their instruments for 813 years to get to their high
level of playing proficiency,
However, anyone who is interestcd in learning to play a new
instrument has that opportunity at LHUP.
Dr. Hosterman suggests
that anyone interested in jazz
music specifically should
audition for one of the ensembles or take one of his courses
involving jazz music, such as

This dedicated professor

rewards from music arc found
in the pride and joy ofcreating

with others and the excitement
of recreating music that has

Audience feedback is also

Campus Craze invades
SRC with new activities
Kim Moershba
Staff Reporter
What is it about a free t-shirt
that makes a college student go
crazy?
Just ask the 400 people who
were waiting at the doors ofthe
SRC last Friday for Campus
Craze 2006.
When the doors opened up at
3 p.m. students flowed into the
SRC and scattered to the many
attractions that this year's craze
had to offer.
"Over 400 people were waiting at the doors to come in,"
said Haven Activities Council
(MAC) coordinator Meghan
McCarthy. "People had a great
time looking at everything.
There is something for everyone
to at least try once."
The first attraction was a
surfing simulator where students could ride a fake surf
board and get videotaped doing
so. For students who had trouble staying on, the big slide
maze balloon was the next best
option.
The course, which rested in
the far corner of the SRC.
required students to take their
shoes off and race against each
other. At the end of this mini
obstacle course was a slide that
students got to go down to finish

laughed and
through this balloon of fun.
For students who wanted to
show off their climbing skills, a
mini-rope climbing apparatus
was available for testing. Some
students had no problem keeping their balance on the rope,
while others could barely keep
from falling off.
Free pizza, soda, and cotton
candy were available for students who got hungry or thirsty
while trying out all the stations
at this year's craze.
Laser tag was also an attraction that kept students happy.
Students were able to play
against each other in a limited
amount of time. Everyone made

it out safely and thankfully
nobody got lost.
For students who like a little
speed in their life, a NASCAR
racing simulator was located
outside of the rec center for students to take for a drive. The
real-life stock car proved to fast
for some students to handle.
Even NASCAR fan Brandy
Rissmiller had trouble keeping
the car on the track.
"It's a good thing 1 want to
report on NASCAR for a living
instead of race because I can't
drive these things to save my
life." said Rissmiller.
Among other attractions
inside were two giant basketball
hoops, a place where students
could see how fast they could
throw a baseball, and a temporary tattoo station with about 30
or 40 different tattoos to choose
from.
One of the more unique and
popular stations was the oxygen
bar/massage parlor located in a
racquetball court. Students
could sit at the mini bar and
choose from wintergreen,
lemongrass, cinnamon, orange,
gardenia, or peppermint scented
oxygen they wanted to breathe
in. After inhaling thc good stuff,
students could put their feet on a
foot massager. or they could sit
in one ofthe massage chairs that
had people rolling their eyes in
the back oftheir heads.
"I've been in massage chairs
before, but this one is by far the
best to date," commented
Maggie Schwartz. "It literally
took all the stress from school
and life out of my body in five
minutes. It was awesome."
Everyone who visited the
craze seemed to have a good
time, but Lock Haven senior
Julianne Woolard had one thing
she would have liked to see in
her four years at LHU.
"They definitely needed to
have human bowling," she said.
"I mean, this was a crazy event,
but imagine how much crazier it
could be with students as bowling balls."
