Just like President
Barack Obama who had
roughly two months to
make a transition into the
White House, along with
various appointments to
his Executive Cabinet,
President Keith Miller is
currently undergoing a
transitional period within
his Executive Cabinet, too.

Miller's
however, has been in full
swing since September,
and he will soon have to
make a very important
appointment for the university.
Dr. Roger Johnson is
currently the interim vice
president for Academic
Affairs and provost which
makes him the chief academic officer at LHU.
Following his retirement, Johnson will soon
pass the keys of Sullivan
210 to the next provost.
According to the organization of administration,
Johnson's position is second in command following
President Miller.
The provost's position
has an array of responsibilities.
As the chief academic
officei, he oversees matters of curriculum and
instruction including both
colleges of the university,
the
Institute
of
Studies,
International
academic administration,
the Honors Program, athletics,
Stevenson/
Clearfield libraries and
institutional research.
Before he became interim provost, Johnson has
served the university as

the dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences. He was
appointed to the position
of interim provost in 2006.
The search for a new
provost has been in full
swing since September.
Dr. Linda Koch, vice
of Student
president
Affairs, leads the search
by chairing the committee.
The committee is devoted
to finding the best candidate to replace Johnson,
and its works is now in its
final stages.
The search committee
is composed of a diverse
representation of the university community including voting members represtaff,
senting faculty,
administration, coaches
and even students.
"In order to lead the
academic mission of the
university, a provost must
be in touch with the concerns,
wisdom
and
achievements of all stakeholders," said Dr. Mark
Cloud, a psychology professor on campus who was
elected to serve as a member of the search committee by faculty. He argues
that in order to make a
sound recommendation,
the committee needs to
hold the interests of all
associated with the academic mission.
The only way to
achieve this is through a
well-represented committee.
According to Koch, it's
essential that students
have the opportunity to
see the process unfold.
"A student was part of
all the deliberations, suggestions and organization
of the (entire) process,"
said Dr. Koch. That student

Dr. Michael Paulus
chose to transfer to the
Haven where he knew
some professors and is
now a professor of social
work and on tenured track
with a one-year provisional appointment.
At the beginning his
educational journey, since
1975 till 1977 Paulus
attended
Jamestown
Community College where
he attained an associate
degree in liberal studies.
From 1977 till 1982, he
enlisted in the army to
take advantage of the G.I.
Bill. While there, he took
classes that were focused
in the liberal arts at New
Mexico State University
and the University of
Maryland in Agusburg,
West Germany.
Paulus continued his
education and received his
B.A. in liberal studies
from Regents College in
Albany, N.Y.
He then earned his
master's degree in social
work in 1988 from SUNY
in Buffalo. His doctoral
studies took him to
Rutgers University in
New Jersey where he
obtained his doctorate in
social work in 1995.

the Academy of Certified
Social Workers.
This

His work experience
includes 12 years at
Edinboro University, Pa.,
as a social work professor.
Paulus taught an array of
social work classes including Human Behavior in
the Social Environment,
Child Welfare and Woman
in Crisis.
He has also worked for
a hospice organization in
Erie, Pa. for 10 years.
At the hospice, he conducted
evaluations,
assessments, bereavement
counseling and end of life
and palliative care services.
When asked why he
had chosen his profession,
Paulus said, "I wanted to
get a doctorate because I
saw that a professor's jobs
included reading, writing
and studying things that
they enjoy, and I thought
that would be a great life...
I have always been interested in making a difference and social work fulfilled that."

Students who participated in open

Students were given forms and asked
if they had any concerns about the candidate.
Other questions include the students'

candidate could bring to the table.
LHU has close to 5,000 students; however, on average anywhere between two
and four students took advantage of the
four campus interviews.
Student's apathetic attitude presents
an obstacle, which President Lunden
believes it's partly due to students not
knowing the importance of the provost
position.
"I think students don't understand
the position or exactly what the provost
does," said Lunden who feels that more

In the future, he wishes

that social work faculty
around the world can use
to introduce students to
the matters of spiritually
and social work.
In his spare time,
Paulus enjoys walking,
playing with his three
children and preparing
wood for his wood stove.
He also enjoys playing
cribbage and going to

would combat the apathetic attitude.
Referencing qualities she looked for
during the process, Koch said, "A colleague who will share the concerns about
what is best for students in their academic choices."
Cloud wants a provost who is an advocate for the academic mission of the university and a provost who is transparent,
fair, honest and believes and practices
shared governance.
Cloud jokingly admits that his
favorite aspect of serving on the committee was the number of meetings.
"The time commitment is a lot. Many
hours are involved; however, it's an
honor to play a role in the future of the
campus by helping to select the leader of
our academic mission," he said.
Whoever becomes provost will be well
compensated for his or her services;
The future provost will receive an
anticipated hiring range of $188,658 to
$184,875, commensurate with qualifications.
A generous benefits package is
included, and the position is eligible for
faculty rank and tenure, as written in

All students interested
in participating in an
internship received an
opportunity to learn more
about it during Internship
Coordinator
Anita
Casper's
presentation,
"Internships: What? Why?
Where? How?" in the
Career Services office on
Monday.
According
to
the
National
Society
for
Experiential Education,
an internship is "a carefully monitored work or service experience in which an
individual has intentional
learning goals and reflects
actively on what he or she
is learning through the
experience."
Not only do students
gain beneficial work experience in their profession,
but they also gain the
valuable skills needed to
obtain a position in their
field.
Interns can enhance
their
communication
skills, develop self-confidence and professionalism, expand their understanding of their field and
strengthen their resume.
Students can also use

their internships to relate
back to the classroom.
Biology major, Leann
Ochrietor, who completed
an internship with the
U.S.
Department
of
Agriculture said, "I love
being out in the field, and
my classes are in the field
so relating my internship
back to class was a great
experience."
Students should also
consider participating in
an internship to gain a
competitive edge in the job
market.
More and more students are completing
internships before they
receive their degree and
depending on your career
field, and competition for
job placement can be
fierce.
According to a 2006
NACE
Experiential
Education Survey, a higher percentage of interns
are receiving job offers and
being converted into fulltime employees.
James
Blankenfeld,
German and communications media major, said
that when he had gone
back to visit RDF Media
after previously completing his internship, they
had offered him a position
after he graduates.

The

Cooperative Council Inc.
(SCC) has introduced a
new tool for members of
clubs and organizations of
Lock Haven University.
Havenconnection.com
is new and technological
way to help clubs keep
track of their records and
rosters.
Matthew Wise, the
of Student
assistant
Activities, said that the
Web site will make it easier for clubs and organizations, as well as the SCC,
to stay current with who is
a member and who is no
longer part of a certain
organization.
The main thing that
they hope to subtract with
this new resource is the
paper work that all of the
clubs and organizations
must do.
With the Web site the
leaders of each campus
organization can do the
paper work required of
them at anytime of the

day, no matter how late at
night or early in the afternoon.
"The great thing about
this is that you can do the
paper work at two o'clock
in the morning if you want
to," said Wise of the convenience that the Web site
makes for the heads of
SCC groups.
The idea was brought
National
up
at the
Association of Campus
Activities (NACA) conference that Wise attended.
While at an advisor's
meeting, the speakers
used a form of the Web
site that the university
now uses, as part of their
presentation.
"We thought it was a
great idea and brought the
idea back to the campus
and worked to implement
it here," said Wise of starting the Web site.
Students who wish to
submit paper work to the
SCC no longer have to go
the offices to turn their
forms in with the new Web
site.
Wise talked how students also voiced their
want for an easier way to

file their paper work.
"Students were coming
up to me saying 'can't we
make this easier, can't we
do something web-based',"
said Wise about the students' requests for an easier way to do their paper
work.
The Web site also offers
a new way for clubs to
advertise their on-campus
activities. Clubs can post
a listing of their events on
the Web site to get the
word out about the events
that they are offering.
The Web site will also
let the clubs know about
things that the SCC has
approved and other news
that all campus organizations should know.
As Wise explained,
anyone that has an LHUP
e-mail account can access
the Web site and the all of
its features. The username and password for
the Web site are the same
as your e-mail login information.
The Web site also
includes
form
of
a
Facebook. Wise explained
that he felt that adding
the Facebook would better

introduce the site since so
many people are familiar
with that site.
"I think that this is a
great idea," said sophomore Gary McCreary, of
the site. "It makes things
a lot more organized for all
the clubs."
Feedback for the Web
site has been great from
what Wise has heard so
far in the process.
He stated that some
people have questions
about the site and that he
is glad that people are
showing interest in the
site and that he is happy
to answer any questions
that anyone has.
Wise said that this is
just the first phase of the
Web site and that they
hope to add a financial
tracker to the site.
Chris Lunden, SCC
president, also states that
the main goal of the
Senate is to get the new
system operational.
"This semester we are
working hard to get the
new online system up to
full operation for all clubs
and organizations," he
said.

the geographic location
and its relation to your
commute, especially for
those participating in a
non-paid internship.
Lastly and most importantly, what are your
goals? What can you
expect to experience?
What skills do you hope to
acquire? Answering these
questions will help narrow
down the search process.
Katelyn Rousses, a psywho
major
chology
at
Hermitage
interned
Home Youth Services, said
that she knows a lot more
about her profession after
her internship and that
she didn't even realize the
transition of gaining that
knowledge.
"I never really wanted
to work with children
because I thought it would
be difficult, but I really
enjoyed working with
them for the internship,
the hardest part was getting to know them and
then having to leave," she
said.
If you're a student who
is interested in an internship, you should first meet
with your adviser to see if
you meet the criteria.
To receive credit for an
internship, students must
have at least 60 registered
credits, a 2.5 GPA and faculty oversight.

Voices from Honors Program

'Honor9 able mention:
Chris Brittain*
Guest Writer
cbrittaifelhup.edu
The Honors Program
staff decided to schedule a
host of new activities and
events for the current
semester, attempting to
promote the emphasis on
community to an entirely
new level.
"Our goal this semester
is to not only reach out to
our current members, but
to advertise to anyone on
campus that they are welcome to take a look at our
program as well," said
Caroline Sweeney, the
student associate director
of admissions, recruitment and retention for the
program.
One ofthe most significant events that have
been
planned
is
a
Matriculated Open House
which is going to take
place at 5 p.m. in the
Honors House on March
18.
"Any student who
strives for academic excellence and wants to engage
in a supportive learning
community should attend
the open house," said
Sweeney. "Students need
to have a GPA of 3.2 or
greater and should be in
their freshman or sophomore year."
Any non-honors student on campus is encouraged to attend this open
house, and it is not necessary to contact the program beforehand.
The Honors Program
has also recently stressed
the
of
importance
strengthening
alumni
relations this semester.
"One of the initiatives
we are trying to start this
year is a better relationship with our alumni. In
order to accomplish that,
we have created an e-mail
specific for our alumni and
sent out surveys to get
updated contact information," said Nicole Jacobs, a
former student associate
director and current graduate assistant for the pro-

"We have also planned
an Alumni Day Picnic to
coincide with Freshmen
Discussion Group Wars
(FDG Wars), a student
activity at the end of the
semester."
FDG Wars, now in its
third year, is a year-long
between
competition
freshmen
discussion
groups.
The event culminates
into a four-hour series of
contests at the end of the
semester including a tugof war, water balloon battles and trivia.
"I've been involved in
FDG Wars for the last two
years, first as a freshmen
and then as an FDG
leader," said Johnny
Blough, a sophomore at
LHU. "It's probably one of
the most memorable experiences I've had here, and
it keeps getting bigger
every year."
A new activity this
semester, Challenge the
Student
Associate
Directors Night that takes
place on Feb. 19, makes
use of some of the assets
that have been donated to
the Honors House in the
last year.
"We've now got a
Foosball table, a two-player electronic basketball
arcade game and an airtable,"
said
hockey
Sweeney. "We also bring
in a few TVs and give honors students the opportunity to try to beat us at a
wide variety of video
games"
According to Sweeney,
the program will continue
to add more and more
activities in the Honors
House "as long as people
keep coming."
"Maintaining the community aspect of our program is our number one
priority," she said.

Perspectives

Campus improvements
address the wrong needs
Tucker Gordner
Guest Writer
tgordnerC" lhup.edu
The
Lock
Haven
University has undergone
a major transformation
since I enrolled in the fall
semester in 2004. An
expansion project to the
Bentley Dining Hall, the
construction of the Health
Professions Building, and
the renovation/transformation of the Lock Haven
High School into the East
Campus building were
three of the major projects
to the campus.
But did the university
address their pressing
issues?
First off let me say that
I don't begrudge the
Health
Professions
department because of
anything that they have
acquired. I applaud the
work they do and feel that
they deserve the latest
technological
advancements.
However, this spring
close to a thousand students will be forced to find
off campus housing to
allow dormitory housing
for the incoming freshmen

class. Shouldn't the overcrowding of the residence
halls which affects a large
majority of the population
take precedent over the
needs of a few enrolled in
one department?
Secondly, the university missed an opportunity
to purchase the property
of the former Painter
Stadium. By purchasing
the property, the university would have had the
opportunity to expand by
constructing a large dormitory building along with
the addition of another
academic building.
Sure, I can already
hear the executives and
trustees in the school complaining about the financial aspects of this purchase. The cost of buying
the land along with the
construction of two new
buildings would not have
been a cheap acquisition.
However, the upside of the
project would have outweighed the initial cost.
A large dormitory
would allow students the
opportunity to stay on
campus longer and therefore putting their housing
costs towards the university as opposed to a land-

lord. Secondly, by adding
another dormitory, the
school could accept a larger incoming class which
would generate more
income as well.
Thirdly, the land is
large enough that the
school could have upgraded one of their badly outdated
facilities.
By
upgrading an academic
building, the school could
use this as a means of
attracting prospective students who are looking to
go to a school that offers
the best available technology.

The third and most
recent "improvement" has
been the addition of two
trolleys to the campus.
With the campus expanding to include East
Campus, the "Express"
trolley has proved to be
more than adequate to
transport both faculty and
students from Thomas
Fieldhouse
to
East
Campus in a reasonably
short time.
A large vehicle capable
of moving a large number
of people was needed and
the trolley more than lives
up to its expectations.
However, the service of

70 percent. This higher
rate is due to the university's low performance. The
university gets rewarded
with funds if it does well
academically and for the
number of minorities
hired, Lilla said. Since we
ranked on the bottom last
year, we received less
money.
"Schools that do best
are near cities, in urban
areas, because they can
hire more minorities and
[simply] have more students applying," Lilla said.
So what does this all
come down to? Dr. Fulton
said that "the spirit on
this campus is, can everyone contribute to this?
And we do. Everyone is
contributing to goals and
is part of the team."
I realize that everyone's budgets are greatly
reduced on campus this
year, including the library
and the athletics department. However, the athletics department's budget
is only $130,000 less than
the
library's
budget;
shouldn't the library and
Academic Affairs get an
even higher priority than
this? These are hard times
for everyone, but what
exactly are we here for, if
not an education?
But in the long run, if
the state recognized demographic disparities and
took it into account with
the
performance and
reward system of state
funding—and didn't punish the colleges and universities for the economic
crisis—we wouldn't have
to choose between athletics
and
academic
sources —or a good education, either.

Thumb/ Down

yBZy

the "Local" trolley is nothing more than a luxury
item that is a waste of
money. There is no need to
chauffeur students up the
hill to the dormitories.
For decades, students
have walked up and down
the hills with relatively no
problems. The trolley does
have other stops on its
route but offers very little
practical use. The money
spent on diesel fuel to
operate a student taxi
service does not make
financial sense, especially
in the current economic
downturn. As students, we
should expect our money
to be directed to things
that would better suit the
population as a whole.
Some of the university's improvements have
been long needed. The
Bentley
Hall
Dining
expansion addressed an
overcrowding issue. It also
addressed an eyesore on
campus and now offers a
touch of class to the university. However, pretending to address issues or
catering to the select
needs of a small group
does not help improve the
overall function of the university.

What an exciting time
it is to be alive right now:
it is a new year, there is a
new president and of
course the smell of hope
is blowing through the
air.
_mm
All of this is great
because it is the beginning of something new,
and hopefully better. To
make things different
this year, everyone is
making goals that they
hope will better themselves or their lives. No
matter if you call these
goals, New Year's resolutions or not, we all have
them.
For some of us, these
goals are to help us
become healthier or to
help us better organize
our lives, and could be as
simple as cutting down
on the sweets. Though
some of goals are a bit
larger and more important, (fixing the economy,
for instance) they all take
something for these goals
to be met, discipline.
During a recent discussion group I was
involved in, we talked
about why it was so difficult to stay disciplined
while trying to reach your
goal.
Discipline is a funny
thing, we know we must
do things to reach our
goals, but sometimes
temptations just seem
like a better option.
Where ever you look,
there is a temptation
looking you square in the
eye.

Joe Stender
think that my life would
be fantastic if I was to
suddenly win a check
amounting to around
nine figures.
What did a lottery
winner do to deserve
this? So you were lucky
and picked the right
numbers, what makes
you more deserving of
this money then someone
else?
Another example of
how our society chooses
quick success over hardwork is with the fastgrowing
phenomenon
known as reality television. Reality television
offers the "average Joe"
the chance at stardom.
There are no special
requirements needed to
be on a reality television
show, all you need to do is
add a little bit of drama
to the show.
After appearing on one
of
these
"highly
acclaimed"
television
shows, many of the

"stars" use their newlyfound fame to up-start
either their own acting
careers or into some other
type of business.
These things are all
great as long as they
work out. but for the most
part people end up going
crazy with their lottery
winnings and going bankrupt or they just make
themselves look like fools
on national television.
A better way to insure
that things go as planned
is if you set a goal and
recognize the things that
you must do so that you
can reach your goal.
Though it will seem like
you will never reach your
goal and you will think
about quitting and just
giving in to those evil
temptations, you must
stick to your guns and not
get off track.
The feeling you get
when you finally achieve
your goal will be well
worth the work that you
put in to reach it. It will
be far more rewarding
because not only did you
receive the reward that
you wanted but you will
appreciate it because of
all the blood, sweat and
tears that you put into
your goal.
So, the next time that
you want to get off track
of reaching your goal and
are going for that temptation, just remember to
have a little bit of discipline. Remember, Rome
was not built in a day, or
any city for that fact, so
be patient because there
will be a greater thrill
when you finally reach
your goal.

Vegetarians need more options
Amanda Alexander

January 29:

Let's say that your
goal is to cut down on the
junk food and to work out
five days a week, a reasonable goal, should not
be too hard. You are
doing a good job on reaching your goal, no problems in sight; suddenly,
while getting ready to
head to the gym you
notice a can of Pringles
sitting on your counter.
What do you do9
I know what I would
do and I am guessing it is
what a lot of us would do;
I would say, "I'll have one
or maybe two,
just
enough to satisfy my
tastebuds."
I would start out by
just taking one or two out
and putting them away,
but you know what they
say, "once you pop, you
just can't stop."
Next thing you know,
you are on the kitchen
floor with everything
from chocolate cake to
everytype of candy available.
You see discipline is
very easy to attain as
long as you can resist the
temptations in the world,
but then again, if temptations were easy to ignore,
then they would not call
them 'temptations' now
would they.
We live in a society
where instant gratification is more appealing
then the feeling that you
worked for something.
Think about all the
things that are out there
that thrive off of our want
for instant gratification.
The lottery is something that lives off people's dreams of living the
"good life." People feel
that if they were to win

Wouldn't it be great if
every day upon entering
Bentley, you watched
other students choose
from a plethora of options
like
cheeseburgers,
turkey
sandwiches,
baked chicken, and tacos,
or subs packed with
steak, roast beef, or ham
and
from

Quiznos, and then you
were offered... a salad?
Every day. Just a salad.
This is what it's like
for a vegetarian or vegan
student attending Lock
Haven University. While
many students may not
put much thought into
the dining services when
selecting a university,
this can be a pretty
important issue for a vegetarian, and LHU simply
doesn't have much to
offer.
While Amy Burke,
junior,
said
that
Bentley's options have
improved in her time as a
student, the food bar still
leaves
much
to be
desired. "They have put
out some new things that

J

,

are vegetarian-based, but
they are not available
every day," she said. "We
need
protein
more
options."
Senior Carolyn Braun
has resorted to living off
campus and cooking her
own meals so that she can
have a variety of foods to
choose from. "They did
add something with tofu
at Bentley," she admitted. "But it wasn't good
tofu. They don't know
how to cook vegetarian
meals."
Burke agreed that the
Bentley staff needs to be
educated on vegetarianism. "I was told the gravy
was vegetarian because
they made it with water
instead of milk, but it
was beef gravy so it clearly wasn't vegetarian," she
said.
Braun herself is an
expert at cooking vegetarian dishes and would
have several suggestions
if she were asked for
them. "Even if they would
do simple things, like
take the bacon out of the
alfredo sauce so everyone
could eat it... little things
like that would make a
big difference," she said.
Braun also pointed out

that none of the dishes at
Bentley are labeled with
ingredients, so it makes it
even more difficult for
vegetarians to figure out
whether a dish is safe or
not, as there is nothing
more annoying for a vegetarian or vegan than taking a bite of something
and finding out that
there's meat in it.
The PETA (People for
the Ethical Treatment of
Animals) website offers
many suggestions for a
vegetarian-friendly college campus. Their list of
the nation's most vegetarian-friendly colleges,
which
includes
the
University
of
Pennsylvania and New
York University, shows
colleges
which
offer
everything from vegan
burgers to teriyaki tofu
with pineapple to vegan
carrot cake.
The University of
Florida has a special
"vegan corner" in their
cafeteria. NYU also promotes Weekly Vegetarian
Nights and Monthly All
Vegan
Meals.
Little
things like this could
make a big difference for
the non-meat-eating students on campus, and

make them feel a bit
more welcome.
Adding
vegetarian
options may be expensive, and maybe LHU
doesn't have enough vegetarians at the moment
to make this a worthwhile investment. But
continuing to offer salad,
and only salad, to those
who don't eat meat is
to
going
discourage
prospective vegetarian
students from attending.
A visit to the campus
will quickly reveal to vegetarians and
vegans
whether or not they can
survive in this atmosphere. If they eat at
Bentley and find that
there is nothing there for
them, they will most likely want to search elsewhere for a place to live
and study for the next
four years.

Adding
options other than salad
and
small
making
changes to the current
meal and condiment
selection would be a big
step for LHLT, and one
that would not go unnoticed or unappreciated by
the school's vegetarian
students.

The inauguration of President Barack

Obama spurred a weekend worth of
events and an immeasurable amount of
excitement which prompted students and
faculty to make the trek to Washington
D.C. to witness history.
Each person who made the trip had
their own motivations and experiences,
but the excitement seemed to be univermmmt

communication media department spent the weekend in the capitol, but returned to the
Haven to teach her Tuesday classes.
Stringer says she doesn't regret her
decision to forego the crowds for
Tuesday's event because she already got
to experience the excitement.
That excitement was generated by a
variety of events hosted by the People's
Inaugural Gala Weekend and Ball.
Stringer attended a prayer breakfast, a
women's leadership luncheon and a
gospel and jazz show.
The women's leadership luncheon featured a panel discussion moderated by
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL).
The participants included Gloria
Steinem, founder and original publisher
of Ms. Magazine and a political activist
since the 1970s.
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes
Norton,
Congresswoman

luncheon.

Saturday

Whether it comes in
the form of an exuberant
yell and fist pump or a
broad grin after hitting
one of his quick-release
three-pointers. Billy Arre
loves playing Lock Haven
basketball and he displays
that proudly.
The senior forward
etched himself into Lock
Haven history on Dec. 3
when he set the university's
all-time scoring
record.
Arre
surpassed
Michael Shue who posted
1,716 points in his career
which spanned from 1993
to 1997.
The night couldn't have
been drawn up better for
Arre, who has always been
a team-first player. The
game took place in
Thomas Fieldhouse in
front of the ordinarily
enthusiastic and supportive fans. The student section even featured T-shirts
with the record number
displayed on the front.
Arre's parents, Bill
and Francine, who have
only missed a few games
in his four-year career
despite the three and a
half hour commute from
Pittsburgh to Lock Haven,
were also in attendance.
"Me and my dad talk a
lot and he said to go into
the game and focus on
winning, be relaxed like
every other game," said
Arre.
The biggest plus of the
historic evening for Arre,
who needed 15 points to
clinch the record, was that
Lock Haven won.

The 70 to 68 victory
came
after
Warren
Christian put away a layup with 4.7 seconds left.
After he broke Shue's
record Arre felt both pride
and relief. The true gravity of the moment took
some time to set in.
"I didn't think about it
too much. I was just
strung up because of the
win," Arre said. "But you
think, 'wow' there has
been so many good players
and now you're at the top
of that list."
Arre's rise to the top of
that list was a journey
filled with hard work and
a commitment to improvement.
Arre started the majority of the games his freshman year, but never
stopped getting better
which is rare according to
Coach John Wilson.
"There aren't many
players who had great
freshman years and continued to improve, but
Billy was different," said
Wilson who has coached in
the PSAC for 20 years.
A year-long commitment to the sport helped
Arre stay on top.
"I did a lot of work in
the summers which helped
out my overall game and
my understanding," Arre
said.
Besides an outstanding
work ethic, Arre has
proved to be very coachable. Wilson recruited

Warren Christian looks for a teammate during Saturday's game. Christian
scored the game-winner with a desparation three-pointer at the buzzer.

It's been a long break
for the men's basketball
team (3-14, 1-3 PSAC
West), but the ten straight
losses are nothing but distant memories after the
last-second stunner over
Mercyhurst College (13-4,
1-3 PSAC West) on
Saturday.
The Bald Eagles took
the lead for only the second time in the contest
after 6'7" forward Warren
Christian heaved up a lefthanded three-pointer that
was half sky-hook, half
shot put and all prayer as
time expired, giving LHU
the win, 70 to 67.
Lock Haven trailed by
as much as 17, but kept
grinding until under a
minute remained on the
clock. With his team down
four, freshman
point
guard, Andres Carpio hit a
three-pointer that Coach
John Wilson considers the
game winner.
As time wound down
further, Billy Arre found
fellow
senior
Kelvin
McLean open down low.
McLean nailed an open
lay in putting the Bald
Eagles up 67 to 66.
The lead-sealing shot
electrified the Thomas
Fieldhouse faithful.
"It's been a trademark
of my time here that the
student support is 100
percent," Wilson said.
That support
was
apparent as a late foul
sent Mercyhurst's Brian
McTear to the line.
McTear only made his second shot, knotting the

game at 67 to 67.

Lock Haven took their
last timeout and Arre prepared to inbound the ball
at half court with 2.9 seconds
to go.
Wilson
designed a play that
would get the ball back to
Arre, but the stingy
Lakers' defense forced the
ball
to
Christian.
Christian threw up the
deep, desperation shot
with two defenders in his
face.
"Once it left my hands
it felt
good,"
said
Christian who added his
only concern was the distance.
For Christian the game
was about getting over a
hump and finishing the
game.

"We came together and
realized we can be something
special,"
said
Christian who notched his
second game-winner on
Saturday, the first came
in December against West
Chester.
That realization coupled with a never-say-die
attitude kept the Bald
Eagles in the game and
illustrated the team's
to
growth
according
Wilson.
"It shows a lot about us
beginning to mature and
buying into the idea of one
possession at a time,"
Wilson said.
Though the Haven has
struggled recently the win
came before Bald Eagles
could be counted out of
any post-season consideration.
"(The win) definitely
boosts team moral," said
McLean. "It puts us back
in the thick ofthings when

it comes to conference
PlayThe break was peppered with adversity for
Wilson's squad. Injuries to
Arre and Eric Brennan
forced both to miss games.
Center Andrija Topic also
missed games because of a
family emergency.
Both Arre and Topic
were
back
for
the
Mercyhurst game, but a
different injury sidelined
Brennan. In the first three
minutes the game against
Indiana University of
Pennsylvania on Jan. 21
the freshman guard went
down with a rolled ankle.
There is no timeline for
his return.
Though the team suffered setbacks Wilson also
saw
improvements.
Wilson noted that if he
had to select a player of
the game for the last three
contests he would name
McLean.
"After the non-conference games were over it
clicked in my head that
this is my last go round,"
said McLean who had 9
points,
9 rebounds and 6
assists against the Lakers.
The Bald Eagles move
forward with high hopes
and they continue to battle PSAC West foes. As for
the home contests, Wilson
looks forward to seeing the
Thomas Fieldhouse mystique continue.
"We'd love to see all of
the students at Lock
Haven University jam in
here and support the
guys," Wilson said.

With their last win
coming on Dec. 18, the
Lady Eagles (3-14, 0-4
PSAC West) looked for
anything positive in the
coming games. Losers of
11 oftheir last 12, seasonending injuries and inconsistent play has resulted

in a gloomy record.
"We lost two starters ■

Cal did not let that
slow them down as they
clawed back to gain their
first lead of the game. The
Lady Eagles fought right
back as they shot 64 percent in the first half to
take the lead going into
the locker room.
After halftime, it was
all Cal. The Vulcans
spoiled the upset bid for
LHU as Cal closed the
game out 76-61. Lauren
Kelshaw led the LHU
campaign with 25 points
while Katie Kendall contributed 13.
"We need to be more
consistent and play a solid
40 minutes. We need to
limit our letdowns in
games," said Smith.
The next game for the
Lady Eagles would not get
any easier, as they
squared off against the
number two team in the
Western Division, IUP
(15-6). They never found
their groove in this 63-29
loss, shooting a mere 22.7
percent from the field.
Kelshaw led the charge
with eight points while
Evelyn Wynn grabbed six
rebounds in the Haven's
efforts.
"Everyone needs to get
on the same page at the

for LHU was the new

Lakers(8-9).
The Lady
Eagles seemed to be very
evenly matched in the
first half against the
Lakers, as they built a
nine point lead in the first
half.
The Lakers climbed
back to within one, but
eventually were down by
three at the half, 32-29.
With just over 10:30 left in
the game, Mercyhurst
took the lead, as they shot
almost 60 percent from
the field in the second
half, while LHU shot 40
percent.
The Lady Eagles fell
74-61, suffering their 11th
straight loss. Kelshaw led
the Haven effort with 18
points while Casi Donelan
would pitch in with nine.
Wynn added five points..
"There is no where to

Internship spotlight: at home and abroad
Amanda Alexander
A&E Editor
aalexan3fa lhup.edu
At a time in which the
economy is one of the top
concerns on Americans'
minds, one student got to
work with international
trade relations this summer, in hopes that good
relationships with other
countries will help our
economy in a positive way.
Jessica Douglas, a
December 2008 graduate,
worked as an intern with
American-Turkish
the
Council (ATC) this summer in Washington, D.C.
The ATC is a non-profit
business association that
is, according to the website, "dedicated to enhancing the promotion of U.S.Turkish
commercial,
defense, technology and
cultural relations."
Members of the ATC
include Fortune 500, U.S.
and Turkish companies,
multinationals, nonprofit
organizations and individuals with an interest in
U.S.-Turkish relations.
Douglas was placed in the

"I'm really interested

the relationships between
countries and trade. It
was pretty much a perfect
fit," she said.

Douglas chose to work
with the ATC. "Initially, I
turned a couple down,"
she said. As a business
administration student
with concentrations in
finance, economics and

international business,
Douglas found an internship with the ATC to be
just right.
She was able to dabble
in many of her interests
during the internship,
which took place from the
end of May until the
beginning of August.
Douglas worked on
many different projects;
everything from writing
briefings and reports to
doing research on biofuels
and investment opportunities in Iraq. The typical
eight-hour day included
reviewing the news for
updates on Turkey or
U.S.-Turkey
relations,
working on projects and
sending out correspondence.
"I learned a lot," she
said. "I didn't know what
to expect and I didn't really know anything about
Turkey." Douglas's interest in Turkey has since
grown, and she'd like to
visit the country in the
future.
Her least
favorite
aspect of the internship
was all the writing
involved. "I'm not an
English major," Douglas
said while listing the editing and writing work she
was involved in. "It was a
challenge."
However, she also got
to participate in many
activities that she found
incredibly exciting, such
as committee meetings.
The ATC has a variety of
committees to discuss
things such as agribusiness and food industries;
banking and finance; construction and energy; culture and tourism; defense
and security affairs; information jCommunication

technology; pharmaceutical; and trade and textiles. The thing she
enjoyed most about these
meetings was "the interactions with the corporations and the government
officials."
She also got to go to
Congress and brief the
staff members on the

What are your plans
for the future?

I might retire in a few
years. I'd like to travel,
maybe get a side job drawing cartoons or being a
card designer.
Do you have any advice
for current and
prospective college students?

Yes, absolutely. I've
seen a lot of frustration in
students. They want to
quit, but you have to stick
it out. Later on you will be
happy you did. Don't give
up, try your best.
There are always ups
and downs in life, just
stick it out; college is
training you for the real
world.
After it's all said and
done, you will be thankful.
I've told this to some of my
students who want to give
up, and they stop by later
in life and I'm happy to see
that they've stuck it out
and love to hear of their
successes.

Lock Haven students
tested their knowledge on
Thursday, Jan. 22 at
HAC's semi-annual Think
Fast game show.
Hip-hop music blared
and light's flashed as students gathered in Price
Auditorium, to watch the
night's festivities.
The stage in Price had
been turned into the
scene of a game show,
with podiums, electronic
scoreboards and microphones for the contestants.
There
were
also
screens up so participants
could see the questions
and videos in order to put
their knowledge to the
test.
About 75 students
came to play with their
brains full and finger's
ready to buzz in before
their opponents.
Each
student was
given a handheld device
in exchange for their student ID as collateral.
The devices were used
to enter the answers to

pop-culture
questions
ranging from Martin
Luther King to American
Idol.
The students were battling it out for a $200 cash
prize, and had the option

sophomore,

At the end of the first
and second rounds, each
team picked the highest
scorers to go up on stage
to answer a series of questions.
The first person to
reach 500 points was
guaranteed a seat in the
final round.
Senior and defending
champion, Adam Roberts
won the first round giving
him the opportunity to
defend his title as Think
Fast Champion.
Senior
Courtney
Lesher also gained a spot
in the final four at the end
of the second round.
In the final round,
winners stood at the podium and answered questions until they reached
1000 points.
Robinson and Gaudin
were given a leeway of
200 points for their performances that had given
them the win.
Unlike
the
other
rounds, if a question was
answered
wrong, the
player would have to sit
down and a member of the
audience would have been

brought onto stage to play
in their place.
Fortunately, no one
had to sit down and the
game ended with the original winners.
Roberts stole the game
for the third consecutive
win, and his fourth win
overall.
"Last semester had a
little bit more competition, but it felt good to
win this one because I
knew it was my last
hoorah," said Roberts
when asked to compare
this game with his past
wins.
Lynniesha Robinson,
the winner of the singing
contest said that the
Think Fast game show
was a "lot of fun." This
was Robinson's first time
participating in the competition.
This was the second
year that HAC held the
Think Fast game show as
a semi-annual event.
"The turn out this
semester was better than
the fall, but we definitely
publicized it more," said
event leader,
Megan
Grzybowski. "This is my
first year doing HAC, and
it's a lot of fun."

Are you new to all the snow in Lock Haven? Or do you just find yourself looking for
something new and exciting to do? Check out this top 10 list of things to do on a
snowy day, and try it.'
Skiing: For those of you, who are a beginner to the slopes, start with skiing.
It's an easy skill to learn, and you will have it down like a pro by the end of
the day.

tubing: Fun for the whole family, snow tubing is for people of all
ages to give you a rush down a hill. Try just one person at a time, pile people
on, or even link tubes together!

resort in Blakeslee, PA.

Snowboarding: More for those with experience in skateboarding, snowboarding requires patience. If you're going to be on the slopes for an entire
weekend, you should definitely give it a try!

Ice Skating: Whether you're indoors or outdoors, ice skating can be fun.
Never tried it? Don't be scared offalling, that's one of the best laughs
amongst a group of friends!

Sledding: Do you need a break from studying on a snowy night at The
Haven? Gather some friends in the same situation, and grab a trashcan lid
or even last night's pizza box ; Lock Haven has hills all over the place that
are perfect for sledding college style!

Reading: Prefer the indoors? Make yourself a hot cup of tea or hot chocolate
and cuddle up with a good book; there's one for everyone out there!

Movie Night: Whether you're a guy trying to scare a girl into your aims
with a horror film, or a group of friends just looking for somethingrelaxing
to do, everyone enjoys a good flick!

Broomball: Never heard of it? Broomball originated in Canada and played
in an ice hockey rink only, you guessed it, you play with brooms instead of
hockey sticks!
y.^

iff—mmm-

Build a Snowman: A classic, yet allows creativity to come out of evory
where! Find some friends and have a snowman contest!

Make A Snow Angel: Spread 'em! Lay on your hack and make a snow
angel! It's simple yet fun to do! Make them on the slope of a hill so people
will see them when they walk by!
