Students who have
eaten in upstairs Bentley
since Monday, October 15,

is a different entree that is
being offered that evening
for dinner.
These new premium

Monday

Thursday during the dinner meal, 4:30 p.m. to 7:30
p.m., are what Bentley
general manager, Joe
Marro, sees as an enhancement to the already established meal plan.
Marro explained that
the meal plan originally
was just a basic dining
hall, what many refer to as
the upstairs.
Then came the idea of
the cash or meal equivalency, which is what students use in the Eagle
Rock Cafe.
That was followed by
flex dollars, which can be
used in any of the dining
areas on campus, as well
as Starbucks and the CStore in Freshens and
Robinson.
Many students have
begun using their flex dollars for other things in the
C-Store, and Marro wants
to change that. "We want
to offer everything, whatever you (the students)
want," Marro said. The
idea is to put the flex to
use where it belongs to
buy food.
The premium meals
that are now being offered
in upstairs Bentley are
costing students a little
extra. Students will use
their regular meal, and be
charged an additional cost
to be able to enjoy the premium meal.
"We are only charging
students what it costs to
get the food," explains
Marro.

scampi that was offered
last week. If it costs $3.75
to bring the shrimp in, students will be charged an
additional $3.75 to purchase the shrimp scampi.
This also means that
cost will vary due to the
item, which is determined
by the market value and
the seasonal demand for
the product at the time.
BBQ ribs may cost $4 this
week, but six weeks from
now, that could change.
By having the students
pay a little extra for the
meal, they are actually
getting a decent amount
for their money.
Marro points out that
students can still get a
burger, salad, soup, and
dessert if they like, along
with the premium meal,
all for the cost of a meal
and a little extra flex,
where as going to a restaurant like Ruby Tuesdays to
enjoy a rack of ribs, customers must pay for the
ribs and then a separate
cost for soup and salad.
But Bentley is not limiting themselves to ribs
and shrimp. Last week
there was chicken francaise, chicken parmesan,
boneless chicken wings
and Chesapeake chicken.
Since the program is
still new, it is hard to tell
how well it is going over.
Students who have tried
the meals seemed to enjoy
them, but other students
are hesitant to pay the
extra for the experience.
Due to the issue of
time, the premium meals
are only available at dinner. Marro feels that students tend to have more
time at dinner to relax and
enjoy their food, and since
the meals are cooked to
order, it makes the most
sense.
The program is still in
the works, and students
may see the more popular
meals reoccurring on the
menu. And if all goes well,
the program may extend
itself to include Friday
night and possibly two
meals per night.

Tim Seibles, poet, will read as part of the UpWrite reading series sponsored by the English
department. See Seibles Nov. 1 in the PUB MRP.

Dynamic poet

reading program
Amanda Alexander
Staff Reporter

The
Up-Write
Reading Program will be
hosting the dynamic and
poet
energetic
Tim
Seibles on Thursday,
Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. Seibles
will read from his poetry
in the PUB multipurpose
room, and the event is
free and open to the public.
Dana Washington, of
the English department,
said Seibles was chosen
because of the way he
approaches sensitive topics such as race, sexuality, and class.
"Our intention is to
promote
diversity,"
Washington said.
The members of the
program felt that the
topics Seibles addresses
would be "really relevant
to a number of student
groups" on campus. He
was also chosen for his
unique ability to write
about sensitive topics in
a way that draws the
audience in, rather than
pushing them away.
Washington expects a
pretty large audience for
Seibles' reading.
"His subject matter is,
I think, going to attract
people," she said. These
are "things we don't talk
about openly."
Maddox
Marjorie
Hafer, also ofthe English
department, said Seibles
will be having lunch with
Lyrically Speaking and
the Black Student Union.
He will also attend an
African American studies
class, as well as a creative nonfiction class and
two literature classes to
talk about the process of
writing.
"Students

agreed that students
often feel a real connection with an author when
they meet that author
personally.
She said sometimes
students have a theory
about the meaning of a
poem and then, upon
meeting the author, find
out that they were exactly right. This is "part of
the magic... knowing
their emotions before you
meet them," Washington
said.
Seibles uses a variety
of writing styles and

addresses issues openly
and with a point. In an
open letter to his readers, Seibles said that
part of what energizes
him to write is the negativity and cynicism people have toward poetry,
the belief that it can't
change anything and
that it has no purpose.
Seibles believes that
poetry should make a
statement and take a
stand, and that is exactly
what his poetry does.
Maddox Hafer said,
"He's got some very
funny poems and poems
that deal with very serious subjects... he's also
got some wonderful love
poems."
Maddox Hafer feels
that Seibles' poetry has
the ability to bring people together and open the
lines of communication.
Maddox
Hafer
said
Seibles has poems on
romance, politics, justice,
and equality, as well as
character poems about
"everyday life situations
and issues."
Seibles is also known
for his strong presence
and
generous
spirit.
"People just rave about
his presence when he
reads." said Maddox
Hafer.
She also said that
Todd Davis, another poet
who recently held a reading at Lock Haven, highly recommended Seibles
as someone who gets
involved with students
and tackles tough questions. "You won't be
bored," promised Maddox
Hafer.
Washington
hopes
students will get "an
appreciation for what he
writes about and how he
writes about it, as well as
for the man behind the
words."
She added that students who are unfamiliar
with poetry will be able
to understand the concept of Seibles' poems
because he will explain
the context and tell stories about each of them.
She said the reading will
not be "dry and grim."
Tim Seibles is an
associate professor of
English and creative
writing at Old Dominion
University. He has written five books of poetry,
including "Hammerlock,
Buffalo Solo Heads," and
Hurdy-Gurdy." He is a
former NEA fellow and
has led several writing
workshops.

lems and solutions were
examined by a wide-ranging panel consisting of
philosophers, scientists
and more during the
Environmental
Issues
Panel on Thursday, Oct.
18.
The interdisciplinary
group was brought to campus through the efforts of
campus professors Dana
Joan
Washington,
Whitman-Hoff, who moderated the discussion, and
Majorie Maddox-Hafer.
"We tried to get students involved on several
different levels," said
Maddox-Hafer,
explained that some ofthe
panelists visited classrooms as students read or
studied their work. "I had
many students excited
about the issues and how
the disciplines interacted
regarding them."
Panelists included: Joe
Calabrese, a professor of
biology, Amidea Daniel,
involved in numerous conservation and environmental
endeavors in
Clinton County, Todd
Davis, poet and instructor
at Penn State Altoona,
Rick Henrich, owner of
Rock, River and Trail

Smith, English instructor
LHU,
at
Md.
Khalequzzaman, geologist
and professor at LHU,
Tim Morey, a natural
resource specialist with
the PA Wilds Recreation
Team, and Thomas Young,
a professor of philosophy
at Mansfield University.
With the spectrum of
disciplines represented,
the panel discussed different approaches to the
same
environmental
quandary - where does
the environment need our
attention and how do we
work toward a solution?
While some of the panelists' part in preservation
and environmental solutions seemed obvious,

nothing else. He added
that he helps in any and
every way he can, no matter how small.

Young
environmental issues from
the standpoint of ethical
theories.
"Unfortunately, when
it comes to environmental
ethics, some of these (theories) come up locally
short," said Young.
The problem stems
from the fact that most
theories are meant to
relate to humans and not
the natural world. Work in
making some of these theories "applicable to nonhuman" entities is something Young says may aid
the fight for conservation
and respect for the environment.
The addition of poets
and writers to the panel
added another perspective
and "interesting balance"
according to MaddoxHafer.
Davis explained how
the famous statement
"poetry makes nothing
happen" is false.
"Art
can't do what
activist speeches can do, it
can't do what expository
essays can do. Having said
that, exposition relies on
the fact that humans are
rational creatures," Davis
said as laughter followed.

about environmental problems have unfortunately
not been as widely recognized as other sciences,
like medicine.
When it comes to bringing out an appreciation in
the environment, acting
on a person's past experience is a very successful
route and art can do that
in a way no science can.
"Art is trying to find a
language that brings people deeper into a relationship with an experience
they've already had,"
Davis explained.
Smith explained how
he tries to "sneak the environment" into his English
classes in order to build an
appreciation of it.
Some of the most pressing environmental problems identified by the panelists included acid mine
drainage and invasive
species of plants and animals.

At this point, one of
the biggest concerns of
Updegraff and Kistler is
the black-and-white policy concerning current
students who are 21 years
and older.
While most of the
functions will not see university students, there
are possibilities in which
organizations such as
sororities or fraternities
may request to utilize the
facility.
In this case, the question of whether or not
alcohol will be allowed for
of-age students is still in
the air, pending answers
from the Foundation's
solicitor, Paul Ryan.
Though
Updegraff
called the policy rules
concerning of-age undergraduates "a work in
progress," he emphasized
the center's main purpose
- to attract and provide
for alumni.
Updegraff also made it
clear that this is not a
place for students to rent
out and use on their 21
birthdays.
"It's not like we have
Friday happy hours," he
said.
For students, little on
campus will change as a
result of the alumni center's ability to sell and
serve liquor.
"We're as concerned as
ever about student drinking on campus," said
President Keith Miller.
The fact that the
events are held in a confined space during times
of low student traffic
should prevent any
breaching of the campus's
dry policy, according to
Miller.
"We're pretty consistent with other state
schools," said Miller,
"such as serving alcohol
at the president's house
or something of the sort."

Foundation is not intending to compete for catering or banquet customers.
"To rent out the facility will be more expensive," said Updegraff.
"The alcohol will also be
more expensive and the
catering will be more
expensive as well. It will
be overall more expensive
than, say, the Elk's or the
(Clinton County) Country
Club."
As far as catering.
Updegraff is referring to
the current catering service for the university, as
they will be the only service permitted in the alumni center. Currently the
university's food service
provider is Aramark.
Aramark employees
who have been certified
in food preparation as
well as alcohol distribution will make up the
majority of the bartenders for these functions as well.
"My biggest concern is
that the downtown area
will think we are doing
this for competition," said
Kistler.
"We are not
attempting to compete;
we do not want to take
away the faculty or staff
from the downtown."
Protests concerning
the liquor license can be
filed with the PLCB if
they concern information
that would disqualify
those holding the license
from legally being able to
do so.
According to Hays,
there is no cut-off time for
protests of a public venue

No date or approximation could be obtained as
to how soon a decision
will be made about the
liquor license's approval.
"We have filed the
application, the inspector
was here two weeks ago,
he has met with the
applicants and measured

Despite the lack of a
date for approval, Kistler
stated that the PLCB
seemed optimistic that

"The
president is
empowered by the system
to waive the dry campus

said Updegraff, "But
these are for mostly

Updegraff explained
that students are not
present during these
events, since they are
usually scheduled during
school breaks, weekends
or over the course of the

Updegraff. "There are

The dry campus policy
is not threatened, Miller
and Updegraff explained,
because the Foundation
and university stand as
entities.
separate
However, in cases such as
these where their relationship intertwines, they
rely heavily on one another.
"It's the Foundation,
not the university, which
has applied for the liquor
license," said Miller. "It's
a very confined window
for them
but there's
definitely a relationship
and discussion between
the Foundation and us."
The total cost in applying for the license was
$1,400, with an additional $70 for mandatory

for

AIDS Project and LH Hospital sponsor STD forum
Brandy Peifer
Staff Reporter

bpeifer@lhup.edu
Zeta Phi Beta hosted
"How crowded is Your
Bed?" a forum on STDs,
Tuesday night in Ulmer
Planetarium.
Patti Smith from The
AIDS Project and Dr.
Nicholas Viyough M.D.
presented the forum.
Viyough is board certified
in obstetrics and gynecology and works at the Lock
Haven hospital.

He is also involved
with the Haven Health
Care for Women program.
Both
presenters
informed students about
common STDs such as
Pelvic
Herpes,
Inflammatory Disease,
and Human Papilloma
(HPV).

Organizations such as,
Planned Parenthood, The
AIDS Project and Healthy
Woman from the Lock
Haven hospital provided
free give-a-ways, refreshments and information
about free testing to

v

everyone attending the
event.
"We think it's important to spread awareness
and healthy decisionmaking," said Ronesha
Smith, who was in charge
of organizing the event.
Researchers
have
found that the highest
rates of STDs are found in
adolescents, ages 10 to 19,
and young adults, ages 20
to 24.
This is because adolescents and young adults
between these ages are
more likely to have a

higher number of sexual
partners than people ages
25 and above.
While most STDs can
be treated there is a stigma attached to testing.
"A lot of students and
young adults are afraid to
get tested for STDs
because they are afraid of
what the results might be
or they're afraid that people will find out they are
being tested because it
might cast them out," said
Smith, "I think people
should be proud that they
are serious about their

health and are taking
proactive steps."
Planned Parenthood,
located on Main Street,
provides STD testing.
The AIDS Project,
located on N. Grove
Street, provides free HIV
testing and will be on
campus in Woolridge Hall
on Thursday, October 25.
Both places accept walkins.
Lock Haven will be
holding another STD
forum on November 27 at
6:30 p.m. in Ulmer
Planetarium.

Counseling service offers help for depression
Amanda Alexander
Staff Reporter
Of the 250 students
who seek help from the
Lock Haven University
Counseling Service each
year at least a quarter to a
third either have anxiety
or depression, or both
according to Dan Tess,
licensed psychologist and
director of the counseling
service.
"It's pretty substantial," Tess said. "I've been
tracking student problems
and statistics since 1994."
Tess said the three
most common problems at
Lock Haven are mood disorders such as depression
and anxiety, relationship
problems, and learning or
academic problems.
Depression can be
described as "prolonged
feelings of sadness, or feeling blue," said Robert
Franz, a licensed psychologist with the counseling

Some of the outward
symptoms of depression
include loss of appetite,
trouble sleeping, a lack of
motivation, and a loss of
interest in pleasurable
activities. Franz said one
of the biggest indicators of
depression is the way a
person views their life and
the things that happen to
him or her.
Franz said that these
people have a defeatist
attitude and feel that the
bad things that happen in
life are always their fault,
while if something good
think
happens
"they
they're lucky."
The new environment
college presents seems to
be the cause for most cases
of depression in college
students.
Franz said, "I think the
biggest [factor] is change,
especially for newer students."
Franz explained that
freshman who are leaving
behind a social support

system and managing new
demands while trying to
fit in can become overwhelmed. He said students can also feel compelled to drink, do drugs,
become sexually active,
and do other things that
make them feel uncomfortable.
Many students can also
be affected by culture
shock. Tess said he sees
this in many international
students, as well as with
students who come from
big cities.
Tess said the counseling service provides acculturation therapy for these
students, which helps
them adjust to the culture
and tells students where
to shop, as well as explaining customs and language.
Students from cities are
also given reality therapy.
Depression can affect
every aspect of a student's
life. Franz said the three
areas affected the most
are schoolwork, health,
and relationships.

Tess said something to
look for in a student you
think is depressed is "a
kind of blase, 'whatever',
lack of zest or lack of energy; a flatness."
He said students with
mild depression will often
skip classes and slack off,
and they also have a pessimistic attitude.
Students with severe
depression have suicidal
thoughts and lose interest
in just about everything.
Tess said students often
describe this feeling as
similar to being in a tunnel: "they just feel numb,"
he said.
Tess said that a big
problem with treating
depression is that some
people are convinced it
isn't real. "It's real- very
real," he said. "It has nothing to do with personality
problems."
Tess said a student
who thinks they may be
depressed should contact
the Student Counseling
Service. They will be given

a comprehensive personalized holistic diagnostic
assessment, which helps
to narrow down the possibilities and identify the
problem.
"You cannot come in for
10 to 15 minutes and 'OK,
here's Prozac' and you're
on your way," Tess said.
He added that the testing
"always has to be collaborative" with the student,
and not something that is
done to the student without their help.
The test includes information such as personal
medical history and family
medical history, as well as
mood charting, which Tess
said "helps establish a pattern and identify alleviators."
Often Tess will use the
test to find things the student enjoys doing and prescribe those activities. He
has prescribed for a student to go to New York
City once a month, and for
someone to talk to a certain amount of close

friends so many times a
week.
He also said, "I believe
in a personalized exercise
program" to help students
cope with depression.
"I refer students to a
health science professor
who helps them put
together a personal plan,"
Tessa said. "It needs to be
tailored to the person and
their needs."
Sometimes
students
need medication to help
them cope with depression, and- in those cases
they will be referred by
Tess or Franz to a psychiatrist in Mill Hall who is
contracted by Lock Haven
University. The psychiatrist will give a second
opinion on the student's
condition and prescribe
medication if necessary.

OPINION
Finding peace in baseball
(Editors Note: This column is part of a series by
Katelyn Donovan that
reflects on the freshman
experience and examines
issues from the perspective
of a freshman.)

Katelyn Donovan
Staff Reporter
kdonovanfa lhup.edu
It's my freshman year
of college and the height of
the World Series... I am
pumped. Besides the fact
that my favorite team is in
the championship, I feel
like my ambitions toward
this years' series go deeper
than my love for baseball.
I think that it's the
hope that I attain, the
"anticipation of the next
seven games, and the faith
that I put in to it that
makes it so powerful, this
year especially.
Radloff
Toby
(American Splendor) said,

"You might want to try
believing in something
bigger than yourself. It
might cheer you up."
Losing yourself in a college atmosphere is not
hard to do I've found.
Only really having to
worry about school makes
life quite simplistic, and
it's easy to get caught up
in all of the new knowledge and views of the
world that we are being
exposed to, not really
knowing exactly what to
have faith in anymore.
Baseball is a simple
game, you either win or
you lose, and you just have
to believe that you'll win.
I've found myself contemplating and wondering
what I really believe in
since I've been at school.
I've held the same morals
and had the same beliefs,
but I never questioned
them before because I
never really had to think
about them.

With so much running
through my head all the
time it's nice to have
something so straight-forward to put faith into. It
seems easier to focus on
the game than it is to pon-

events. But the attempts
are usually futile. People
attend the events but compared to the overall population of the university
attendance is small. The
only reason I stayed here
this weekend was because
I was working at the football game.
At most universities
the homecoming game is
huge. All though it is
entirely on a different
level I recently went to
Penn State's homecoming
where the sixth largest

crowd in Penn State football attended a game that
wasn't a huge game. It
was a big game, but not to

from many other universities take pride in their

see that here.

Forget the "Vote or

would be running for president in South Carolina.
Yes, he'll be running

Just imagine - you're
sitting, quite comfortable
on your couch, watching
your favorite TV show and
it's getting to a very
intense point in the show.
Then all of a sudden, fade
to black... Commercial!
For a minute you may
want to stand up and
scream. Or rant and rave
about how much you hate
commercials. Or discuss
with whomever you may
be watching TV with
about how a 60 minute TV
show averages out to
about 45 with those stupid
commercials.
And believe me, I am
one of those people. Just
when the plot starts to get
good. BAM! Someone's trying to sell you a vacuum,
or telling you about how
great their blowout sale is.
And what makes it
even worse is that commercials are everywhere.

But no matter what
you were wishing for, your
hopes are quickly smashed
by some guy promoting
the latest burger joint. So
you'll change the station
hoping for a positive
result, let's say Fall Out
Boy, only to hear about
the "everything must go"

car sale happening this
weekend.
But the more I sat and
thought about how much I
really despised commercials, whether on TV or
the radio, the more I
thought about, where
would we be without
them?
Most people wouldn't
know about the year end
Toyota clearance or about
how Pillsbury is putting
out their new holiday
cookies with the pumpkins
on them.
There are things we
just simply would not
know about. Whether it
was a sale at our favorite
store, a new car that just
came out, or even something as simple as a new
TV show, that they will so
conveniently
interrupt
with more commercials.
And think about all the
commercials that have
created a following for
brand icons. The Fruit of
the Loom fruit guys,
Tucan Sam, Snap Crackle
and Pop, the Keebler

Elves. These characters
would not have the following they do if they were
simply plastered on a box
or a label. Having commercials allows them to
have a life. Without the
Pillsbury
commercials,
poking someone in the
stomach and going "woohoo" just wouldn't happen.
So there's something to
think about. The next time
you feel the urge to throw
the remote at the TV
because you're just about
to find out the latest gossip on the Hills, watch
House deal with his
patients, or find out the
latest hero's power, realize
that whatever they are
trying to sell you, that you
just might need one day,
you would not have known
about otherwise. Or when
you're driving around and
all you really want is to
hear Soulja Boy, that commercial promoting the
newest twist on the whopper may come in handy
later when you're hungry.

Terray leads Lady Eagles
at Clarion Fall Classic

Sports Editor

m\\\\\\U

This past weekend saw
the Lady Eagles swim team
finish third at the Clarion
University Fall Classic. In a
field of seven, the Lady
Eagles finished with 223
points behind Grove City
and host team, Clarion.

In her collegiate debut,
freshmen Amanda Terray
swam into the record books
as she finished the 200
Backstroke in a time of
2:14.52. Terray became the
second fastest Lady Eagle to
finish the event.
As lead in the 400
Medley Relay, Terray finished with an all-time second fastest time in the 100
Backstroke among Lady
Eagle swimmers. Her time
of 1:00.19 in the event was
also good enough to make

an NCAA "B" cut time.
Terray capped off her
impressive day with a second place finish in the 100
backstroke event, where she
finished with a time of
1:02.41, while taking a
respectable sixth place finish in the 50 freestyle.
Following Terray's lead,
Stephanie
teammate
Kudrick finished third in
the 100 Breaststroke in a
time of 1:12.14. Kudrick
also took fifth in the 200 EM
with a time of 2:23.17.
"I was quite impressed
with how our first year college swimmers stepped up
and embraced their races,"
said Head Coach Andrew
Waeger. "Nobody backed
down from any race and
everyone gave 100% for
each time... that is all I can
ask for."
Senior Kelly Grieneisen
rounded out top individual
performances for the Lady
Eagles with a second place
finish in the 500 Freestyle
with a time of 5:36.31.

In team action, the Lady
Eagles A-team consisting of
Terray, Grieneisen, Kudrick
and Brittany Williams took
third place in the 400
Freestyle Relay.
The team of Terray,
Kudrick, and Grieneisen
would then team up with
Ashley Lightcap to take second place in the 200 Medley
Relay.
"I was really quite
pleased with how this weekend went. This is always a
long 2 days of racing with
most of our women competing in 8 events," said
Waeger.

Men's soccer wins key
games versus MU and BU
Kris Glad
Sports Reporter
No matter what sport
you play or watch, there
is one thing that you
must remember and that
is that every game matters.

This notion is never
truer then at the end of a
season and if you can
build momentum going
into your final batch of
games, then you can
achieve those important
victories. Momentum is
exactly what the men's
soccer team had on their
side as they defeated
Millersville University 40 and then Bloomsburg
University 1-0.
The
recent
game
against Bloomsburg did
more than give LHU the
victory, it essentially
made sure that they
would be seeing the post
season. But it was no
walk in the park. Aside
from the strong play by
Bloomsburg; LHU had to
deal with strong winds.
"Bloomsburg was just
a battle," said Head
Coach Doug Moore.
In the first half Lock
Haven had the definite
advantage
seemingly
working with the wind.
The lone goal of the game
came
from
Ashley
Rosindale in the first
half. The goal marks
Rosindale's seventh goal
on the season and his
third in two games.
With the lead in place
the defense took over the

and the rest of the
defense did their jobs and

potential help from the
wind. Matt Deming made
three saves in the game,
which was his first
shutout of the season.
While that win was
good, the victory against
Millersville was even better beating them by a
decisive shutout victory.
"I'm very pleased with
how we played," said
Moore. "It was the best
we have played all season."
All four of the Bald
Eagles goals were scored
by two players: Leadopoe
and
Ashley
Geain
Rosindale. Within the
first 20 minutes of the
game Rosindale scored
his and LHU's first goal
of the game, with the help
of Paul Huckett. Huckett
went down the right side
of the field sent the ball
perfectly to Rosindale for
the score.
At the start of the second half it was clear the
Bald Eagles were in firm
control of the game. At
the 63rd minute of play
Geain scored his first
goal. Colin Callaghan
took the ball from midfield to the right side and
passed it to Doug Moran
as he broke through
Millersville's
defense.
Moran then passed the
ball to Geain who scored
the second goal.
A little over ten minutes later the Bald Eagles
were able to do almost
exactly the same play.
Rosindale was the one
who had the ball and took
it across midfield to
Moran. Moran then fed
the ball to an open Geain
for his second goal. Two
minutes later Rosindale
scored his second goal of
that game, leaving the

We put the BS in BCS
Reporter
i#lhup.edu

The BCS is BS. Never before has
it been so clear that college football is
in dire need of a playoff system.
When Rutgers defeated #2 South
Florida (yes you read that right,
South Florida was ranked #2)
Thursday night it marked the fourth
straight week that a "top five" team
lost. The week before, the top two
teams in the country lost within
hours of each other.
It is mid-October and we are
already trying to figure out which
ane-loss team deserves to play in the
BCS Championship. Based on the
obvious inability of the voters to rank
the teams correctly in the polls, I can
almost guarantee we'll pick the
wrong one.

Some of you may say that the BCS
has worked fine in the past citing the
2006 Rose Bowl between USC and
rexas and 2003 Miami-Ohio State
classic as proof. Well if once in a
while is good enough for you then I
won't argue against you.
But I have a slightly higher standard. Let's take a history lesson of
the controversy during the BCS's
tumultuous history.
Last year Ohio State was the only
undefeated team playing in the BCS
Championship. The problem is we
had two undefeated teams.
Boise State proved how deserving
they were of a title shot when they
defeated Oklahoma in one of the
greatest college football games in
recent history. Instead a one-loss
Florida team ended up blowing out
the Buckeyes on their way to a title
they should not have had a chance to
play for.
In the 2005 Orange Bowl undetted #1 USC destroyed undefeated
Oklahoma 55-19. Meanwhile,
defeated #3 Auburn was stuck
lying Virginia Tech in the Sugar

New

It seems clear to me that Auburr
would have put up a slightly bettei
effort. An SEC team that finishes
undefeated deserves a chance for £
national title.
The biggest atrocity happened ir
2004 when the #1 ranked USC
Trojans weren't, even invited to the
championship game. Those invita
tions went to LSU and Oklahoma
(coming of a loss) who treated us tc
the sloppiest championship game 1
can remember.

In 2001 Nebraska got blown out

Opportunistic Lions
steal win at Indiana
Mark Viera
Daily Collegian
Penn State
The Indiana Hoosiers
had their chances. They
had the game, but they
couldn't hold it. They
could've won, but they didn't.
"I told the [Indiana]
coaches, 'You've got a good
football team. It's too bad
you put it on the ground so
many times,'" Joe Paterno
said.
Penn State stole a win
you could call undeserved,
spoiling a cloudless afternoon for 41,251 homecoming fans at Memorial
Stadium.
"A win is a win," wideout Deon Butler said. "I'm
sure they'd rather have a
win."
You can rationalize it
like that if you want.
That's fair. You can say
that good teams capitalizing on opponent's mistakes or the importance of
winning on the road and
how that was a big hurdle
for the Nittany Lions.
But you can't say Penn
State won the game on its
own, and you can't feel
good yet about Saturday's
game against Ohio State.
The Hoosiers stammered
and squandered their
chances. And in the end,
they gave away the game.
Literally.
They fumbled four
times.
"The difference in the
game was the turnovers,"
Indiana coach Bill Lynch
said. "You just can't turn
the ball over a lot. In a
close game like that,
whether it gives you
points or changes field
position, that really hurts
a lot."

All of Indiana's fumbles happened in the second half, and three of
them ended up in the
Indiana red zone.
Penn State only pieced
together nine points on
three field goals off all
those fumbles. Those nine
points ended up being the
difference late in the ball
game. But the fact the
Lions couldn't make more
of their opportunities was
disconcerting.
Three field goals aren't
good enough.
"I just felt we wasted
too many opportunities,"
Paterno said.
Even before the second-half turnovers, Penn
State
had
trouble.
Offensive inconsistency
and mental mistakes that
have plagued the Lions
bubbled to the surface.
A fumble. An ugly
interception. A few errant
passes. A few poorly run
routes.
Troubling? You bet.
That stuff had nothing
to do with Indiana, which
makes you wonder what
comes next.
What, truly, can you
expect given what we've
seen? The Jekyll and
Hyde that is the homeand-road masquerade will
probably be left behind.
Rejoice if you're a Lions
fan. Temple and Michigan
State are winnable games.
But Penn State will
meet its most difficult test
next weekend. White Out
be damned, Ohio State is
the best team Penn State
has played or will play
this season. Think the
Lions have a shot against
the Buckeyes?
Penn State doesn't
have a prayer if it plays
like it did against Indiana.

Donnie Howard (junior-kinesiology) remembers that game well.
Howard, a freshman at
the time, could hear the
rowdy "GameDay" crowd
from his East Halls room.
"It was wild, crazy," he
said.
Howard thought the
2005 atmosphere contributed to "GameDay"
visiting Penn State this
weekend.
"It definitely should
come here," he said. "It's a
huge game."
Jordan Cascino (juniorcommunications, arts and
sciences), who founded the
Paternoville Coordination
Committee
in
2006,
expects this week to be
similar to the week leading up to 2005's Penn
State-Ohio State contest.
"It's starting to get a
little nostalgic," Cascino
said. "I fully expect everyone to go completely nuts."
Cascino remembers
that week as a "weeklong
party"
camping out at
Paternoville, seeing the
"GameDay" crew set up
for its broadcast and
watching the excitement it
generated.
Having that excitement all over again this
year, Cascino said, should

When ESPN searches
for a campus to broadcast
its
weekly
"College
GameDay" show, its executives look for a college
football game with compelling storylines and
interesting angles. This
week, they decided on
Penn State.
ESPN's weekly college
football preview show will
make its fourth appearance on the University
Park campus this weekend, airing before the No.

team takes on No. 1 Ohio
State.
The show will air on
Friday afternoon and from
10 a.m. to noon Saturday.

to lose," Cascino said of
the Buckeyes. "We have
nothing to lose, and just
about everything to gain."
Daniel Testa (juniorkinesiology) said, from an
exposure standpoint, the
publicity from the national broadcast is "good stuff
for the university.
Testa
predicted
"GameDay" analyst Lee
Corso would pull on a
Nittany Lion head. Each
week, Corso lets the audience know which team he
thinks will win by wearing
its respective mascot's
head.
"He likes to go with the
home crowd," Testa said,
adding, however, that his
choices can be somewhat
controversial and frustrating.
"GameDay's" first visit
to Penn State happened in
1997, when Penn State
lost to Michigan, 34-8. The
GameDay crew returned
for Penn State's 1999
game against Arizona,
when the Lions beat the

Wildcats, 41-7.

Mike Wisniewski (junior-electrical engineering)
watches "GameDay" most
weekends and said he'll go
see the set Saturday afternoon for "GameDay's"
most recent visit to Penn

State.
"Hopefully," he said, "it
will be like two years ago."

really meant to make people laugh, it's always an
option. Let's face it, sometimes people just need to
laugh in order to keep
from crying like a little
girl from being so scared.
Usually in order to be
funny with a costume, you
must think outside of the
box.
One example is a kid
who had boxes of cereal
taped to himself with
knives
going through
them. This obviously was
not a normal Halloween
costume but was a spin on
one, since he was a "Cereal
Killer."
Other costumes could

Campion said, "I went
to this last year and I
thought it was funny, so I
wanted to come again and
it was just as furtny if not
more funny than last
year."
Although there may be
a few skeptics, the show
still turned out to be a success and those who were
unsure what to think got a
good chuckle out of it.
Kowalchick said, "They
did a really good job. I'm
not sure if I believe in it
yet, but it was still really
funny to watch."

approaching your costume
design could be to make
one that reflects your
crime-fighting
favorite
hero.
Since super heroes are
already in costumes, it
makes it easy to make you
look like one. All you need
is a large supply of spandex and a mask to make a
super hero costume. Even
if you don't have a favorite
super hero, you can still
make one up and have fun.
Finally, you can dress
up as a character in a
movie that you really
enjoy. There are lots of
characters that are easy to
recognize and easy to
make.
The Blues Brothers are
always an easy and good
choice; all you need is a
suit, sunglasses, a hat and
a friend.
But there are plenty of

After deciding on what
to be for Halloween, you
must then start to construct your creation. You
can start by making a list
of everything you will
need. After that you can
go to various shopping
areas to get your supplies.
You can go to all sorts
of places to grab supplies.
You could go to Wal-Mart,
for the pure fact that they
have everyday low prices.
Or you could adventure to
someplace that has very,
very low prices, like the
thrift store. You could
also opt for a more formal

store.
After you grab all of
your supplies it is time to
it all together.

Whether that means actually sewing and gluing it
together or taking it out of
the plastic, this is when
your creation comes alive.
It's always better if you do
this step with a group of
friends because they can
make suggestions and
help with the process.
After you're done with
your costume, there's only
one thing left to do, wait
for Halloween to start getting some candy.
No matter what you
decide to be for Halloween,
the most important thing
is to have fun while doing
it.

Bulgarian professor passionate about school, soccer
Erin Hippie
News Editor
Dr. Marian Tzolov,
assistant professor in the
geology/physics department at Lock Haven, has
been teaching at the university for three years. As a
native of Bulgaria with a
huge interest in soccer, the
Eagle Eye chose Tzolov as
a professor-of-interest.
News Editor
Erin
Hippie spoke with Tzolov
about his experiences at
Lock Haven, his interests
and his overall appreciation for the sciences and
the university's science
department. This is his

Five, four, three, two,
one... and sleep.
This was a technique
used by hypnotist, Brian
Imbus, to try and put 27
LHU students into hypnosis, during the Hypnotist
Show in Price Auditorium
on Oct. 18.
The show began with
an opportunity to volunteer to be hypnotized by
Imbus on stage.
As the eager crowd
began raising their hands,
Imbus called on the persons who he believed were
excited and happy to be
there.
Calling them one by
one with 27 chairs available, in the end there were
13 girls and 13 boys on
stage waiting to be hypnotized.
Before getting started
with the inducting process
of hypnosis, Imbus wanted to clear up some popular myths about hypnotism.
Imbus said, "You cannot hypnotize anyone that
doesn't want to be."
Imbus reiterated this
fact

throughout

to keep everyone aware of
what will be happening
and possibly not happenAfter making sure that
the audience understood
the process of hypnotism,
Imbus proceeded, and a
calm music filled the auditorium.
While speaking to the

students on stage, Imbus
tried to keep his voice very
deep and calm.
According to Imbus, a
state of relaxation needs
to be present in order for
the ones being hypnotized
to fall under.
Moving through the

parts,
Imbus was trying to relax
every part of the body.
He began with the left
side working from top to
bottom and then up the
right side working his way
up to the head again.
Once everyone was
completely relaxed, they
fell into a state of relaxed
sleep.
This is the moment
when you realize that the
hypnosis worked, for some
at least.
Ashley Campion, senior at LHU, said, "They
literally look like they just
fell asleep in an instant.
Some of the students had
their heads hanging down,
some fell on the floor and
others had their heads
resting on the other's
shoulder."
For those who could
not fall under hypnosis,
Imbus escorted them off of
the stage because they
would only distract the
others.
Jared Kowalchick, a
local who wanted to see
the show, said that he
tried to be hypnotized
while sitting in the audience, but it just didn't
work for him.

You cannot fully appreciate the beauty of Pennsylvania until you see its colors in fall. The leaves begin changing throughout the month of October.

According to Marvel,
fall foliage, from what he
knows, brings a lot of
tourists to Clinton County.
"The effect that fall
foliage has on our area is
mainly economics," said
Marvel. "Clinton County
can benefit from the
tourism because there are
no major industries in the
area anymore."
Since Clinton County is
mostly isolated from any
big industries, such as in a
city, anything that brings
in tourism, especially fall
foliage will have an impact
on the economics of the
area.
Because of fall foliage
year after year, we can
always expect to count on
tourists to come through

the area to see the beauty
of Pennsylvania.
Marvel said, "Fall
foliage is going to happen
every year. It has been
happening for hundreds
and hundreds of years, so
as it keeps happening people will want to come and
see it."
Although the leaves
change their colors every
year, sometimes they have
their good years, but they
also have their bad years.
Lucky for us, Marvel
said that this year is looking to be a good year.
'Trees have good years
and bad years. It all has to
do with the conditions that
the trees are put it. For
example, when trees are
under a great deal of
stress while responding to
certain conditions, they
will radiate with beautiful
colors," said Marvel.
Even though trees may
have their good and bad
years, people still enjoy
coming to see the trees.
Black said, "For our
visitors, we have several
different routes picked out
in the guides so that they
can take on the full experience of the foliage in Pa. n
Some of the routes

include, Rattlesnake Pike,
Marsh Creek, Decker
Valley, Brush Valley and
Purple Heart Highway.
