LHU students fight
hunger with "sleep out"
Mary White
LHU Press Release

During the month
of
Lock
October,
Haven University student clubs and organizations competed to
best address the problem of hunger. The
friendly competition
is called Hunger Bowl,
and culminates in the
awarding of a pottery
bowl to the group with
the winning project.
The winner was
the Health Sciences
Club, whose members
collected
approximately 50 bags of nonperishable food on
campus and in the
community as well as
at a pool shoot tournament. The Health
Sciences Club was
presented with the
Hunger Bowl trophy,

At nearly this exact
time last fall I wrote
an article about our
student government.
Needless to say, it was
not a very friendly
article. The government was in turmoil
and absolutely nothing
was being done about
it. Our elected and
appointed leaders did
not seem to care about
student concerns. I
was angry and so were
hundreds of other students. Our anger was
more than justified.
The corner students
backed our student
gov-government into
last year is still an
enormous accomplishment in my eyes and
something
I
will
always be proud to say
I was a part of. But
that was 2009. It is
now 2010. What a difference a year has
made.
Our student government this year is
the first in my time at
Lock Haven that actually cares about students. There is no
"what's in it for me?"
around here anymore.
The only concern is not
about money or popularity anymore. It is
about doing what is
right and not what is
easy. On the executive
committee we want
one thing. That is to
bring back the days
when the SCC was
talked about positively
and not as a means for
greedy students to
earn a buck or a
resume builder. We
are accomplishing that
now. We are beginning
to set up the foundation for our student
government that will
allow it to be a tool of
the students and not
as a means to an end
for individuals. We are
doing this through
hard work, improved
listening skills, and
community service. I
was once looking from
the outside in and saw
none of this. The rest
of the executive board
and senate were also.
Now, many of us outsiders are on the
inside fixing it.
So then why am I
writing this? Well, I
am not writing this
because I am worried
no one is seeing what
we are doing. That will
come in time. I am
writing this article
because time is something we may be running out of in the SCC.

We want to continue
the pro-progress that
has finally begun but
without urgent and
quick constitutional
changes we may not
have the chance to
continue to work for
students. Our very
existence is under
threat. Again, without
quick policy and constitutional changes,
our time to give power
back to you will run
out. The alternative
presented to us, and
that will be forced on
both our student government and students,
is by far not in the best
interest of anyone.

Right
now,
be
that

we will
able to continue to be
here for students, we
need to redraft our
entire constitution. As
it is now, this process
has been purposely set
up to drag on and on.
Time will be lost; too
much time. To make
sure we have the time
to make long, and
overdue
frankly,
changes, an amendment will be voted on
tonight that may very
well set the tone for
the shape and structure of student life and
govern-ment for years
to come.
For a
redraft to occur now, it
requires one-fourth of
the student body to
sign a petition in support of the redraft.
This, in light of our
urgent need for reform, will be temporarily left out of the
constitution. Without
that clause we have
the time needed to set
straight what is wrong
in our student government. With it remaining, we lose valuable
time which may well
determine, again, the
SCC's existence here
in the coming semesters. If reform is not
accomplished quickly,
the excellent Senate
and executive board
we currently have will
forever lose our ability
to do what is right for
you. Likewise, we all
also stand to lose a lot
of the power and
responsibility the student gov-government
is going to give back to
students should we
run out of time.

the
Upon
redrafting of the consti-tution, the students will be given
power and responsibility that has been lost
for a long time.
Without amending the
redraft clause however, this power to
change our government will unfortunately be lost. That is
something that I personally, as well as others, do not want to
accept. Too many people have invested too
much time in fighting
to bring power back to
students to see it fail
now because the SCC
ran out of time. Right
when the SCC is on a
great path and doing
what is right is not the
time to vote down or
op-pose an amendment that will allow us
to move forward and
continue to do what is

Imagine what
students will be able
to accomplish once
they have responsibilities and control that
has long been lost.
Imagine what future
students will do when
they have a student
that
government
works for them and
not against. Imagine.
That is what is at
stake here tonight. As
a long time outsider
who looked in and didn't like what I saw,
this is the exact opportunity for change I was
looking for. If you
come to tonight's SCC
meeting at 6:30 in the
PUB you will see what
I mean.
Now is not the time
to falter. Now is the
time for strength and
knowledge in the fact
that.our student government finally working for students. The
Senate and executive
committee are finally
united in this goal.
Come to tonight's
meeting, learn what is
going on for yourself,
and join those in the
Senate and executive
board who are doing
every-thing they can
to help you.

According
Executive Director of the
at
Entrepreneurship
Cornell program Prof.
John P. Jaquette, the
recession brought with it
cheap labor and a serious
need for services to help
keep companies afloat.
"If you can scrape by
with enough money to
start something, [the
recessionj presents a
good opportunity," said
Keith
Cowing, who
founded
Seamless
Receipts, a company that
offers a platform for
retailers to send digital
receipts to customer. "I
started this thing with
39 bucks to register the
website." The idea for

Seamless Receipts was
grounded by the need for
physical stores to better
compete with the online
marketplace,
Cowing
said.
Seamless Receipts
now offers a way for
these stores to bridge the
gap into the cyber world.
Retailers can more easily
reach out to customers
by placing targeted promotions at the bottom of
a receipt, which is sent
electronically to the customer, and by keeping
tabs on customer satisfaction through this
online interaction. The
beta version of the platform, which launched a
few months ago, has
received "hugely positive
feedback," Cowing said.
"The tough economic
times make it easier to
proposition
people.
Everybody needs a little
help," he added.
The fuel for development came from Cornell
where, Cowell said,
brainpower and networks have aided him
and
other start-up
thinkers. An information
science class that builds
programs for local companies created a demo
for Cowell, which he
used in a 60-second elevator pitch competition
held on campus. The
competition won Cowell
$250,000, which he used
to turn the student prototype into a professional
software and to hire a
full-time team.
Prof. Daniel Cohen,
entrepreneur in residence at Cornell's eLab,
explained that fewer job
opportunities tend to
encourage start-up activity.
"Many students come
to us with a business
idea that they want to
flush out as they interview for jobs with the
intention of seriously
focusing on their startup if no job offers materialize," Cohen said.
Cohen said that the
start-up community at
Cornell is vibrant and
growing. eLab, a business accelerator for

Cornell undergraduate
entrepreneurs, started
only two and a half years
ago and already attracts
fifty applicants each year
for only ten available
slots.
"We've now helped
produce six companies
that generate revenue,"
said Cohen.
an
Wiggio.com,
online service that helps
students work in groups,
is one of them. Upwards
of 550,000 users have
signed up and the company raised more than
$1 million in venture
capital.
Alexander Veach and
partner
Benjamin
— who are
to
launch
working
Terran Exchange, an
online marketplace and
analytical platform for
commercial software and
software utilities — were
also inspired by a market
need.
"Where is the marketplace for small time
developers to list their
products, many of which
are super innovative? It
doesn't exit," Veach said.
So he and Roberts have
been working to create
one, he said.
Veach explained that
he was particularly
encouraged by Prof.
Donald Greenberg, who
told him that their idea
was viable because ofthe
timing in the electronic
technology S-curve, a
curve which describes
the adoption of an innovation and that restarts
every few years.
"Greenberg told me
that right now, we're at
the beginning of the electronic technology Scurve," Veach said. He
explained that the rate
at which people adopt
new tools in this arena is
still climbing and that
the saturation point is
still far off.
Veach said that he
and Roberts were able to
capitalize on the Cornell
community's enthusiasm
for innovative ideas.
When they started to fall
behind in a start up competition, they requested

votes from the alumni
network. The alumni
helped them from about
400 votes to about 1700
votes, landing them in
first place with the most
votes garnered in the
history of the competition.
"It's amazing to see
how fast you can mobilize your network,"
Roberts said.
Prof. Jaquette said
that because of Cornell's
isolated location, the
start up culture is far
less pervasive than is
exhibited by other universities
such
as
Stanford, which is located near Silicon Valley
and San Francisco. It is
growing, however, he
said.
"This year's introductory course to entrepreneurship has an enrollment of 460 students,"
he said. "Students are
going to be the sole proprietors of their own
careers, and they know
that
We seek to teach
students how to develop
a competitive advantage
in their own space and
how to understand their
space in 'the marketthe feedback
place'
has been remarkably
positive."
Students are also
involved in social entrepreneurship ventures.
Greg Cohn co-founded
The DoBand Campaign,
which he describes as
"an action-oriented social
network." Users buy
wristbands that are registered on the DoBand
website. They then enter
what goal they want to
accomplish, and by what
date. The wrist band
serves as a reminder of
this goal, and users are
meant to wear the bands
until they accomplish
their decided actions,
after which they enter
the information on the
website and pass the
band to someone else.
"It's a very pay-it-forward mentality," Cohn
said.

BANNED?:
La vida "Loko"

—|
Meagan Arnold
Perspectives Editor

rnarnold* lhup.edu
Four Loko---it has
become infamous on
college campuses, being
nicknamed "blackout in
a can. " With an innovative mixture of alcohol and caffeine that
the
doubly-exceeds
average drink, states
are beginning to take
notice and, consequently, are banning the beverage on campuses.
Sold in 23.5 ounce
cans with 6-12 percent
alcohol
by
volume
(ABV), Four Loko was
introduced in August of
2008. It contains a mix
of caffeine, taurine,
guarana and alcohol.
The name "four" comes
from the usage ofthose
The drink is offered
in 11 flavors, including
Orange, Fruit Punch,
Lemonade, Cranberry

month,
Last
Washington was the
next in line to ban after
dozens of students were
sickened and 9 were
hospitalized----all incidents being linked to
drinking Four Loko.
Michigan has since
followed
suit
and
banned the beverage.
Phusion Products,
the maker/creater of
Four Loko was founded
in 2005 by college
friends. While the
panel feels that the
negative impact the
drink is having on some
students is "inexcuswholeable," they
heartedly defend the
drink
by
saying,
"People have safely
combined caffeine and
alcohol for years: rum
and colas, Red Bull and
vodkas, and Irish coffee
are standard fare in
bars and restaurants
everywhere."
So the question
remains: what exactly
is the problem here?
While Four Loko is
linked to all of these
cases, I see another
common theme----irrestudent
sponsible

—

—"

I think that it is
crazy to blame one
drink line for a problem
that is like a two-edged
sword. Students are
going to drink. It's a
fact of life. And, regardless of whether they
drink Four Loko or Red
Bull and vodka, the
effects will be the same.
The only difference
may be the amount of
time it takes to get
there.
Blaming the drink
as the sole source ofthe
problem is taking the
easy way out of the situation. While the drink
may pose a greater
danger than the average beer or mixer, students are warned about
the contents of what
they are consuming.
Especially now that
concerns are being
raised in the media
spotlight, no one has an
excuse of downing multiple cans and claiming
ignorance to what they
were doing.
Danielle Serrao, an
LHU junior, believes it
"wouldn't be the end of
the world" if Four Loko
was banned, but "it's
just nice because it's
cheap." Serrao continued by saying that
"[Four Loko] is really

think they can drink
multiple cans are just
stupid. I usually split a
can if I'm going to drink
one."
Case in short---no
one wants to blame the
students, but rather
the company because
it's easier, cleaner and
probably more likely a
success. If they ban the
beverage, then the
state and college/university administration,
in theory, won't have to
put up with the illnesses, the injuries and/or
the hospitalizations.
Wrong. Four Loko
may be made illegal,
but that's just creating
bigger problems. Since
it's not banned everywhere, it's still accessible. So, the consumption is still occurring,
and it's now being done
illegally.
And
I'm
thinking this is a big
old "epic fail" at fixing
the problem.
Until
students
decide to be responsible
drinkers, which may
take a little rough experience, the problem will
not go away. Four Loko
is not responsible for
the brainless students
of society who think
their bodies are indestructible and should
not be held account-

SVN-GAZETTE,

Uganda is a country located in East Africa and is currently considering
an anti-gay bill, which may catch on across the continent (Photo from
of Nazism." Just one
month after Lively's
visit in Africa, the
AntiUganda
Homosexuality Bill was
introduced.
David Bahati, a
Member of Parliament
and Ugandan politician
has stated "We are very
confident because this
is a piece of legislation
that is needed in this
country to protect the

in Africa, and also protect the future of our

Cam causes commotion
Crystal Cole
The Auburn

Plainsman
In his weekly press

conference, head coach
Gene Chizik made a
statement about the
allegations
against
Cam
quarterback
Newton.
Last week, Newton
was accused of seeking
payment through an
agent to sign a letter of
intent to Mississippi
State.
Monday new allegations emerged from
FoxSports.com, citing
an unnamed source
who claimed Newton
cheated on three separate occasions while
the
attending
University of Florida.
"As a father figure

to this team and these
young guys, I've got a

responsibility to defend
and protect," Chizik
said. "I'm standing up
here on a very important week trying to
defend something that
quite
frankly
is
garbage. What matters
to me is coming to the
defense of not only a
great football player,
but a great human
being who comes from a
great family."
Chizik scolded the
media for the way these
stories were handled
publicly.
"If you really want
to do your homework,
go and start with his
little league coach, then
go to his junior high
coach, then go to his
high school coach, then
go to his junior college

coach, and then come
talk to any coach at
Auburn," Chizik said.
"You're going to hear
the same thing. So this
is a waste of my time,
but I'm going to
address it because I'm
defending a young man
that deserves it."
Following his opening statement, Chizik
refused to answer questions regarding the
allegations
against
Newton.
"We've got a very
tough game against
Georgia this week, and
there's going to be a
great crowd here at
home," Chizik said.
"The Georgia series is
obviously one of the
best in college football,
and we've got our work
cut out for us."

We're officially past
the halfway point in
2010 NFL season and
what do we know?
Well, The Raiders
are pretty good and
Darren McFadden is no
longer a fantasy bust.
The Cowboys are
pretty bad and can't be
counted on for any consistency among their
supposed fantasy superstars.
And aside from that,
there's still a lot of
uncertainty
floating
around in the fantasy
air.
Sure,
Adrian
Peterson,
Chris
Johnson,
Michael
Turner, Hakeem Nicks,
Antonio Gates, Philip
Rivers, Drew Brees and
Aaron Rodgers are about
as close to 100 percent
trustworthy as you can
get, but what about players like Randy Moss,
Miles Austin, Brandon
Marshall
Deangelo
Williams and Ryan
Matthews who have severly under performed?
What do you do with
them?
long
All season
Fantasy Football 411
has provided you with a
host of players to target
on the waiver wire, but
at this point there's not
much left to choose from
so it's time to play "Let's
make a deal" in order to
upgrade your roster.
"Buy Low" means a
player has not played
well to this point, but
based on his remaining
schedule he has the
potential to become fantasy stud down the
stretch.
"Sell High" means
you've basically gotten
all you're going to get
out of your overachiever
and based on schedule
and other factors it's
time to ship him off to
some other sucker that
doesn't have your intuitive foresight to know at
this point some players
are all name and no
numbers.
There are plenty of
players that fit into this
profile; a few are listed

"Buy Low"
Brandon Marshall
WR (MIA): Marshall
only has one touchdown
this year, but he started
out slow in 2009 and finished the season with 10
touchdowns. Despite the
Imi i i li.il I ■ mil' 11.i•I

double-digit
fantasy
points twice this season
he's still in the top 10 in
yards, receptions and
the
targets,
plus
Dolphins play Oakland,
Cleveland,
Buffalo,
Detroit
and
New
England in five of their
final six games. A lot of
people are low on
Marshall: don't be one of
them.
Jamal Charles RB
(KC): Many owners are
frustrated by the lack of
touches for Charles and
so,
but
rightfully
Charles is still sixth in
the league in rushing
and averages over 10
yards per reception. The
Chiefs also have by far
the easiest schedule
down the stretch when it
comes to facing terrible
fantasy defenses, so that
production could get
even better. He's coming
off a modest game
against the Raiders so
try to get him now before
it's too late.

RB (DEN): Moreno
missed three games earlier in the year with various injuries, but coming
off a bye he should ready
for the stretch run. The
Broncos have one of the
more potent offenses in
the league and in the
final month of the season they'll face St. Louis,
Oakland, Arizona and
Houston. That's a whole
lot of production when
fantasy owners need it
most. He's coming off a
five-point game prior to
the bye so a lot ofowners

Adam WilliamsSports Editor

might be down on him so
try to get him now while
the price is relatively
low. You won't be dissappointed.

"Sell High"
Randy Moss WR
(TEN): Plain and simple
the guy runs one route
and when he's going
against a team's best
cornerback with safety
help over the top and a
nickel back to round out
the triple team he's not
going to catch enough
balls or touchdowns to
be trusted on a regular
basis. With that said
there is still some buzz
he's a Titan so someone
is likely to bite. Trade
him now before he plays
this week and catches
three balls for 40 yards
and everyone is down on
him again. If you can
trade him for Brandon
Marshall, do it in a
heartbeat!
Miles Austin WR
(DAL): Aside from
matchups with Detroit
and Arizona down the
stretch most of Austin's
matchups are unfavorable. Combine that with
the fact that he has
three catches or less in

-l\

games—including two of
three with Jon Kitna
under
center—and
Austin can't be counted
on as a must start for the
remainder of the season.
Some owner in your
league is bound to still
be high on him so shop
him around now before
that owner sees the
light. Once again if
Brandon Marshall is on
the block in your league,
then offer up Austin and
see if you can get him.
Matt Forte RB
(CHI): If you're not in a
ppr league then now is
the time to get rid ofthis
guy. Forte has been one
of the biggest over-

achievers in fantasy
football this year, but his
schedule
down
the
stretch is horrible. Aside
from facing the Lions in
week 13, every opponent
he has left is stout
against the run. He also
only has one game all
season with over 20 carries and Lovie Smith has
said the Bears are going
to make a concerted
effort to get Chester
Taylor more involved in
the offense. Forte has
had some huge games
this season so a lot of
people will be high on
him, but in the fantasy
playoffs in weeks 14-17
he'll face New England,
Minnesota, the Jets and
Green Bay and probably
be riding the pine. So at
this point it's probably
smart to take whatever
quality back you can get
for him.

Don't believe

Week

David Garrard QB
(JAC): Garrard is coming off a game in which
he accumulated five
touchdowns against the
Cowboys and this week
he'll be facing the worst
secondary in the league
when the Jags take on
the Texans. Houston is
struggling of late and
surrendering nearly 30
points per game on the

Washington should have
a nice game this week.
The Dolphins are familiar with Moss and will
do their best to take him
out of the game early
which means constant
single coverage for
Washington. Miami isn't
terrible against the pass,
but their pass defense is
definitely the weakest
aspect of their D. With
so much focus on Moss
and Chris Johnson,
Washington could be in

Sluggish zombies give life, emotion to modern genre
Gerald Rich
Daily Texan, U. Texas
UWIRE
AMC's "The Walking
Dead." which premiered Oct.
31 and was green lit for a second season yesterday, is not
your usual zombie shoot-emup, race for survival. Instead,
it's an unnerving, lingering
portrait of survivors and the
deceased that eats away at
your mind.
The show starts off with
Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes
getting out of his car on a
deserted road. As the camera
follows in front of him and
keeps a close, tight shot, the
viewer slowly sees the extent
of the desolation of unoccupied cars lying dead in the
middle of nowhere.
Then there's a faint noise.
The sheriff drops to the
ground to look under the cars
and sees two pale, dirtied legs
shuffling forward with fluffy
slippers flecked with dirt. A
hand drops down into the
shot and picks up a teddy
bear.

'The Walking Dead."
One of the first looks that
viewers get of a real zombie is
the upper torso of a woman
pulling herself through an
empty park on a sunny day —
hardly fast or deadly. The
horror comes from watching
as her entrails drag behind
her, flesh rotting, thinning
hair hanging over her decomposed face as she tries to
grasp at Grimes.
And the camera takes its
sweet time to remain on that
image until you realize this
was once a living human
being who's been stripped of
dignity, awareness and emotion. All that remains is half
of her body, a ceaseless cannibalistic desire and maybe the
occasional vestigial memories.
The whole series is the
exact opposite of the modern
horror that pops out and
scares you. Instead, it won't
let you sleep because your
mind keeps going back to the
details of that woman in the
park or the girl with her
teddy bear.

with Jared A. Conti

This week I'm interviewing Lacy Pepperman, a second semester junior with only three credits shy of senior staHi u>. 3he's an international studies major with concentration in human geography and a minor in geography.

So, what're you reading?
I was reading "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America." It's for my Kaleidoscope

class, and written by Barbara Ehrenrich. It was an easy read, and she did a good job at drawing the reader in. It really did a good job of explaining how the underpaid and overworked
Americans are struggling in today's economy. [Ehrenrich] puts herself in the shoes of these
workers who are facing poverty every day.

So, are you enjoying the Kaleidoscope class?
Yes, very much so! It really makes you question your beliefs and you almost learn more than
in a traditional classroom setting because you are learning more about the person you are,
while learning about current issues and topics that burden the world today.

An artist who heard about the 1833 meteor shower drew a conceptualized picture of what the meteor
shower might have looked like over the Heisey Museum, which was once a hotel where founder Lock
Haven Jerry Church watched the meteors fall from the sky for hours.

By Lou Bernard
Curator
Clinton County Historical Society

It began as a night like any
other night. Lock Haven had
just been founded nine days
before. Town founder Jerry
Church was staying in the hotel
that later became the Heisey
Museum, as he waited for his
tree house to be built on Church

it began.
It was an event that came to
be known as the Rain of Fire. It
was one of the most spectacular
meteor showers ever seen, and
it happened as Lock Haven was
first created.
The event began with a
noise, described in Linn's
History as "a hurtling sound,
which ceased at the approach of
dawn, and the spectacle exhibited its splendors in silence."
And then, a brilliant meteor
shower broke out, and the sky
was filled with falling, blazing
lights.
People rushed from their
homes to watch, thinking it was
the end of the world. Everyone
assumed their homes were
going to burn and they were all
going to die. But the lights, flying across the sky in toward the
