Staying up all night may not be something new for most college students, but this past Friday night
many college students pulled an all-nighter to raise money for cancer research at the Relay for Life.

Bone marrow program stresses
the importance of donating
Lisa Kiwak
You have the opportunity to
save someone's life.
This was the message Alice
Kaplan, the recruitment supervisor at the Penn Jersey Region of
the National Marrow Donor
Program, conveyed to students
and faculty on Tuesday evening.
The educational night was
held in the Hall ofFlags to educate people on the importance of
becoming a member of the
National Bone Marrow Donor
Registry.
The night consisted of two
informative videos with a question and answer session following. The first video was a message from Woolridge Resident
Director Russ Jameson. As
many of you may know,
Jameson is suffering from a rare
form ofleukemia. Jameson is in
need of a bone marrow donor,
and therefore expressed the
importance of becoming part of
the registry.
Kathy Allison of the Health
Science Department, Katie
Woodring who works very
closely with Jameson in the
Residence Hall Associtation,
Resident Director of Campus
Village Wendy Walsh, and
Director of Human and Cultural
Diversity, Kenny Hall, are
organizing thc drive. The

Residence Hall Association will
be the coordinators.
"I personally have been in
the registry for thc past 12
years," said Kaplan. "I still
haven't gotten that call."
According to Kaplan, the
national registry is made up of 5
million people. The catch is in
order to donate, you must be
such a close match to the patient
that some people will never be
called to donate.
Kaplan
stressed that this is why it is so
important to bring diversity into
thc registry.
For example,
someone of Asian descent is
more likely to match another
person ofAsian dissent.
"There is a critical need to
diversify the registry," said
Kaplan. "By doing this, maybe
some people looking will be
able to find a match.
There are a few misconceptions about becoming a bone
marrow donor. First off, the
need for bone marrow is great.
According to Kaplan, every year
1,000 people are suffering from
terminal diseases in which their
only hope is a bone marrow
donor. There is only a 25 percent chance that these patients
will find the match within theirfamily. The other 75 percent
must look to the national registry to find a match.

This summer, the juniors, or
MS3s, of the ROTC program
will spend five weeks in
Warrior Forge, and they will be
evaluated on their readiness to
become a lieutenant in thc
Army. In order to prepare the
cadets for Warrior Forge, the
ROTC held a field training
exercise from March 31 to April

3.
The morning of Friday,
April I involved a physical
training test. Throughout the
rest of the day. the MS3s took
part in day and night land navigation.
The cadets spent all day
Saturday in squad tactical exercises (STX). That involved
moving through the woods in a
squad-sized element. Thc seniors, or MS4s, acted as the
enemy so that thc MS3s could
practice attacking enemy positions and fighting techniques.
Sunday thc cadets participated in a field leader's reaction
course (FLRC). A series of
obstacles were arranged, and
the cadets had to compromise
the obstacles with limited
equipment and while being
timed.
The field training exercise is
the major event of the year for
the ROTC. It is held in Fort

Spring is here which means
it's time to hang out with your
friends while you enjoy the
great spring weather. To the
Greek community it means the
annual Greek Week!
Every spring semester all the
Greeks in Lock
Haven
University gather for various
events that will determine the
Greek Champions at the end of
the week. This year the events
range from sports to fun games
to even a "man hunt" game.
Starting out on Monday,
April 18, Alpha Chi Rho, Alpha
Sigma Phi, and Kappa Delta
Rho along with the women of
Alpha Sigma Tau, Sigma
Kappa, Sigma Sigma Sigma,
and Zeta Tau Alpha will be
holding their soccer game in
Zimmerli Gymnasium. That
Tuesday these organizations
will continue to compete in a
volleyball game.
Although the Interfraternity
Council has yet to announce
their event for Wednesday April
20. the National Panhellenic

Council will unite to fundraise
all day on campus for the Russ
Jameson cause.
"In recent years, we haven't
actually done a philanthropy
like this," said Kristinc Grove,
Greek Week Chair for the NPC.
"But this is a great opportunity
for all of the Greeks to get
together and work for a great
cause."
After the sororities' philanthropy, they will be continuing
their week events with a nontraditional game of "man hunt."
"This is going to be something like 'capture the flag,'"
Trentadue,
said
Melissa
President of the NPC. "It's
going to be a fun event that we
haven't done before."
IFC and NPC will continue
the week with basketball on
Thursday, floor hockey on
Friday, the popular air band performances on Saturday, and the
week will be wrapped up on
Sunday by a fun games day.
Who will be the winners of
this year's Greek Week? Come
out to Zimmerli Gymnasium all
week and find out who will take
home the trophy.

Penn Jersey Region Recruitment Supervisor of the National Marrow Donor
Program Alice Kaplan conveys the importance of donating bone marrow.
from "Donate", Page

AI

Bone marrow is essential to
life. Kaplan said it is where
your blood is produced and
bone marrow is basically your
immune system.
Another misconception is
that the process of donating will
hurt. If you are called to be a
donor, you will have the option
of two different anesthesias.
The first type will put the donor
completely out, and the other
option is an epidural, where thc
donor is numb from the waist
down.
"It's amazing what people
think," said Kaplan. "A majority of people say it feels like
slipping on ice [after they
donate]."
According to Kaplan, 7-10
percent of the donor's marrow
wilt be taken and given to the

26th there will be no cost.
Organizations throughout campus have raised and donated
money in order to waive this
cost. According to Walsh, the
SCC donated $1,000, each of
the Residence Hall Council's
are organizing money, and
some of thc fraternities and
sororities are also donating.
Jameson was the inspiration
behind the bone marrow registry drive. It will run on the
26th from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For
more information on helping
with thc drive, or to make an
appointment so you can
become part ofthe registry, you

patient. That small amount will
generate enough new blood for
the patient. The donor's bone
marrow will regenerate itself
within a few weeks after donating.
Kaplan knows several people who are donors and have
been called to donate several
times.
"I figure it can't be that bad
they
if
want to do it again," she
said.
If you become a part of thc
registry and eventually decide
to donate, thc patient and their
insurance will cover all ofyour
expenses. The gift of giving is
at no cost to the donor.
Normally, the only expense to
the donor is becoming part of
thc registry, which would cost
an individual $65-100.
Luckily, for the students and
faculty here on campus if you
choose to participate on April

"One thing we need to
remember is this is about life
and death," said Kaplan. "This

At the end ofthe conference,
SCUPA members headed to the

Judy Hamplc are inadequate and
do not concern jobs that members actually fulfill.
After 10 negotiations, the
most recent taking place in
February 2005. neither side has
been able to reach an agreement.
"Most other issues, like
health care benefits and salaries,
were resolved early in the
process," said Max McGee,
chairperson of the SCUPA
Education
Outsourcing
to
Committee. According
McGee, the new wording is
what has been causing all of the
problems.
"Control over housing is thc
first thing that is going," said
Susan Kastner, a SCUPA member from Millersville University
for the past 27 years.
Members of SCUPA from
LHU. Clarion. West Chester,
Kutztown. East Stroudsburg and
California Universities, who
have had private companies
involved in housing recently,
listed new dormitory facilities as
a way that thc process has
already begun.
Evergreen Commons at
LHU and Reinhard Village at
Clarion are two examples of
what the union is referring to.
Both ofthese establishments are
owned by the Foundations at the
two universities, yet students are
urged or forced to live there by
the universities. There have

even been cases where letters
have been sent to transfer students falsely claiming that the
buildings arc university owned.
If in fact the new facilities
were owned by the universities,
SCUPA members would be
working in them. Instead, private companies are being
employed to run and maintain
them.
"We're trying to deliver
housing, private-entity built
housing. We're not thc employer," said Gluck when asked
about the situation.
He described the efforts of
the PSSHE to pursue quality in
order to compete with other universities and explained how this
was just one of the many "different iterations for housing."
Most of these variations
involve less expensive, private
companies running the dormitories, rather than the resident
directors of SCUPA.
"We've all been at the universities a long time. Wc like thc
students." said Kastner. "Wc
don't want to see crisis lines
replacing people who help students in the dorms."
Whether thc new language is
added or not to the pending contracts, the outcome of SCUPA
will have an effect on students.
"You are students at an
interesting time," said Gluck.

Director of High Hall, emphasized that any student who plans
on going into the education field
or who has parents in thc field
could feel the repercussions of
outsourcing. To educate Clarion
students on these issues, protestors distributed factual handouts
to passcrsby.
Paul Skrgic, a junior marketing major from Clarion who
stopped to ask questions said,
"It's ridiculous what they're trying to do. They can't just let
decent people do decent jobs."
The protest, which was
organized by LHU's Max

Your best friend missed the
lunch date you had planned all
week because he or she "forgot."
Do you reassure the person that
everything is fine, after all everyone forgets now and then; tell thc
person that you were really upset
that they could make such a careless mistake; or don't confront the
person about your anger, instead
just ignore them until they ask
you what is wrong?
If you choose the last answer,
then you are an advocate of "the
silent treatment," that miserable
tension -causing action that too
many people use when they arc
upset. The silent treatment is not
the feeling ofanger, it is simply a
way of containing thc anger and
avoiding your feelings.
No matter what your personality, you have probably ignored
someone in the past when you
were upset with him or her. This
is not a good idea and simply
causes more problems. People
generally employ the silent treatment when they do not feel like
confronting a person on an issue
or talking about their feelings.
Instead they keep their mouths
shut and the person being ignored
gets to wonder what they did
wrong. It is a confusing guessing
game that nobody can win.

No two people are exactly
alike. We are going to meet people who have qualities that annoy
us, even if they become our
friends. Friendship is about
accepting a person's good characteristics and their flaws in return
for companionship, loyalty, and
love. One may not agree with
how someone acts or reacts to
something, but that does not
mean they are wrong.
When two people are willing

"Friendship is

to let down their walls of defense
to become friends they should be
able to talk about their problems.

If one friend upsets thc other they
need to tell them right away. The
offender may not even realize
what they have done. It is not fair
to ignore a friend when one is
angry with them because they
may not even think they have
offended. What may seem like a
big deal in someone's eyes could
mean nothing to another, and vice

Sometimes, in the midst
turmoil, we cannot find the ri;
words to say. Some people
trouble expressing their feelings,
and others try their hardest justto
avoid confrontation. One shofId
try writing down all their feelings
before they confront someone.
Write down why you are upset
and what you think some solutions are to the problem. This
way, when you confront your
friend you know how to reply to
their questions. It is important to
be in touch with your feelings
before you unleash your anjger
blindly. Writing can also be a
cathartic experience. You may
learn that what you interpreted as
anger toward your friend may be
something entirely different.
Maybe you are stressed about
school or work and you are taking it out on a friend instead.
Next time you are upset with
a friend let them know. Ignoring
the problem won't help anyone, it
will only cause more tension in
the relationship.
It is important to be honest
with those that we care about and
let them know that they add
meaning to our lives. You nqver
know when you will lose that
family member or friend. Life is
fleeting and you shouldn't waste
any time using the silent treatment to solve problems.

Drag Ball is no drag at
Kelly McCoomb
Guest Columnist
As you may know, the Drag
Ball and Campus Craze are both
are on Friday, April 15. So which
will you go to?
Well, both of these events
have been held on our campus for
some years, and 1 don't see either
of these events not repeating in
the future, so if you skip one.
you'll still be able to go to the
other the next year. I personally
love both ofthese events.
Campus Craze is a fun occasion with all kinds of games,
rides, singing, food, and fun with
the friends. 1 went my freshman
and sophomore year and had a
blast with my roommate. I've
done the races, the picture stands,
seeing what it's like to be drunk

if I didn't know), and more.
Last fall semester I was
studying overseas in Japan, but
heard there was a Campus Craze
in the fall here at Lock Haven.
This was the first time I've heard
of Campus Craze in the fall. So
likely you've already been to
Campus Craze, even if you're a
freshman.
Then there is the Drag Ball, a
fun and flamboyant dance. At the
Drag Ball, you can dress as the
opposite sex. You don't have to
cross-dress, but it can add to the
excitement. 1 went to the Drag
Ball for the first time last year,
and I had one ofthe best times of
my life.
So what's there to do at the
Drag Ball? Of course there will
be dancing, but there will also be
candy, food, games, prizes, and a
contest for the best drag. It is
(as

loads of fun, and you'll go home
with goodies, memories, and
blackmail photos!
So, Campus Craze and the
Drag Ball will both have food,
prizes, and fun. Campus Craze is
open 5p.m. until 11p.m. but the
Drag Ball starts later at 7:30p.m.
and ends earlier at 10:30 p.m.
Which to go to?
Well here's my plan. I'm
going to Campus Craze at 5p.m.
and pick up my ticket and play.
Then I'm going to leave, go back
to my room to get dressed and
then I'm off to the Drag Ball at
the Parson's Union Building. I'm
going to dance, hang out, and
maybe win the contest! When
the Ball starts to die down, I'm
going back to Campus Craze, to
see if my ticket won and to play
any last games or rides that the
lines were too long early in the

evening. Then I'm going back to
my room, hang out with my
friends, and then I'm going to
crash!
Also, both events are held
right next to each other. Campus
Craze is at the Student Recreation
Centerand the Drag Ball is atlthe
PUB. So, it is very possible to go
to both.
If you feel you can only go to
one, which one? I would pickj the
Drag Ball, I say try something
new. It's an open, tree fun time,
and everyone is invited, jit's
being sponsored by the QayStraight Alliance, You see the
word "straight" in its name; it's
not just for people who are gay.
So go, be open, and support your
fellow students.
Whatever you do, have fun,
be safe, and always try something
new!

Letters to
the Editor

Stu dent upset with
on campus-living
Dear Editor,
" Are the Lock Haven University Admission's Department and other
departments lying to students? Is the integrity and ethical character of
the Admissions Office and other departments being compromised by
events outside the control ofthe Admissions Directors and other administrators?
Upon my arrival at Lock Haven University in the summer of 2004
1 was under the impression that 1 would be spending my freshman year
in the dormitories provided by the university. To my surprise I was lead
to believe that the university dormitories were overfilled and that thc
Summer development students were being forced into the newly built
Evergreen Commons Apartment Complex. However, the luxuries of
Evergreen Commons left me in a optimistic state of mind.
Once the Fall 2004 semester started, I began to realize thc apparent
negatives that cheap construction and ill management brought to
Evergreen Commoas. The brochures and advertisements placed around
campus speak of the luxuries and convenience that Evergreen has to
offer, although what the advertisements don't speak ofare the living conditions.
Throughout the whole semester that I spent down in the Apartment
complex I experienced a number ofproblems. Constant problems with
the dryer, rust forming on both the sink and the outside door, and awful
conditions in the complex itself. It would never come to a surprise to me
to walk out one morning and be stepping in cigarette butts or blood trails
leading down the stairs. Frequently I would be awoken late at night to
the loud music of other apartment units. Complaining to the front office
or my CA accomplished nothing.
As many are aware, due to the rising number of students being
accepted into our university, thc housing office decided to change thc
way housing would be done for returning students wishing to live in the
dorms next year. A lottery system was implemented in order to accommodate the 2005 freshmen class. Students were forced to look for off
campus housing and the main source was Evergreen Commons. The off
campus housing market turned into a seller's market, having the current
landlords of Lock Haven base their prices on Evergreen Commons,
'prices steadily rose from thc result ofincreased demands for housing in
*6he Lock Haven area.
Although including all the utilities and luxuries. Evergreen
Commons charged a pretty penny to live in the complex. When notified
that the summer development students were being forced into the
Commons we were given the assumption that the apartments would cost
the same amount as it would to live in thc dorms. Once again I was
fooled into believing that I would be paying a monthly amount of$445
which turned out to be a staggering $475.
by.
Many are lead to believe that Evergreen Commons is a University
owned complex that operates through Lock Haven University. This is a
complete lie. Evergreen Commoas is a privately owned by the Lock
Haven University Foundation, only affiliated with Lock Haven
University. Although it is a coincidence that the Executive Director for
theFoundation is also the Vice President ofAdvancement at LHU. Also
to my understanding, the Director of Admissions would receive a
$21,000 bonus for admitting more students than the university could
provide housing for, resulting in students moving into the Evergreen
Commons.
Has Lock Haven University cheated or taken away my rights as a
student? Or have they cheated us all into thc current whirlwind ofa situation wehave all come to deal with? Is the Lock Haven University system corrupt enough to place money over thc students' interests? 1 feel
much can be learned from my situation and the current situation that is
taking place here at our University. Ask yourself, do you feel as if you
have been manipulated like pawns by Lock Haven University system?

Well, some of those things
may be true, but I am going to
reveal the positive aspects of
nerds with today's focus on the
lack of interest that girls have for
nerds. While 1,a person that has

many of my kind without companionship. So here goes, these
are the following reasons all you

a nerd as a partner.
We would not abuse you,

weprobably would, but we don't

My happiness levels up

But with you my life is full

In closing, we may look at
message boards a little too much
and wc may listen to stupidly
odd music. But to us, it's our
everyday lives. We're original.
We're not the norm or anywhere
relatively close for that matter.
We're not all talking gigabytes

you been having man problems?
Do you commonly ask yourself,

then go out with a nerd and sec if

Concert springs

mixed emotions
Jessica Thompson
Guest Columnist
Not satisfied with the Lock
Haven spring concert? Here's
an idea Don't go!
In response to an article
last week about one person's
disgust for musical selection
here at Lock Haven, I started
thinking. I was just curious as
to how many meetings of the
concert committee did this
person, in particular, attend.
You know, the meetings (that
anyone can attend) where the
planning, organizing and most
importantly the selection of
the bands for the spring concert take place. Where was
this person when the committee put in hours of debating
about which performers would
please the largest amount of
people? Where was this person when the committee put in
bids for many different bands,
but for various reasons, these
bands were not able to commit.
Bottom line, do not criticize something that you did
not take the time to be a part
of. As the writer of the article
stated himself, there are 4,500
students at Lock Haven
University and I challenge
anyone who thinks that he can
please all of them at the same
time to do so.
Another point that was
made in the article was that
some smaller universities
around Lock Haven are getting bands that, in the writer's

-

opinion, are more popular.
This is true except for one
thing, the students of those
smaller universities have to
pay for their ticket. In my
opinion, one of the best things
about the spring concert is that
it is a free show. And, since it
is a free show, people can just
go to check it out and have a
good time with their friends.
Not everyone can afford an
extra S20-S30 on top of what
we already pay in tuition for
thc concert.
Ok, so maybe I have been
a bit harsh on the person
whose column I am responding to. It's just that often
times people do not take the
time to look at both sides of
the story.
In the case of the spring
concert, the committee went
through a tough bidding
process this year. Many of the
bands that the committee was
in contact with were either too
expensive, out of the country,
or already on tour and could
not make it to Lock Haven.
The fact of the matter is, the
committee was close to not
having a concert at all this
year.
So, please do not ruin the
concert event for the rest of us
who are open-minded and may
not be huge fans or Vanessa
Carlton or Sugarcult. but are
willing to pay absolutely nothing and get to experience
something that they would not
be able to otherwise.

Athletes like to use the words "Go to War" when they are talking about
playing their sport. This reference is not to be compared to what our GREAT
AMERICAN TROOPS are going through....My quote for the week is "I will go
to war for him." That was said by Lock Haven Rccicvcr Rafael Smith. He was
talking about how much confidence he has in his new coach.
My only thoughts were what a difference a year makes. Me and several
graduated football players went to the "Hoot and Holler" practice and I
wished I would have more time to play the game of football. I have not met
Coach Klacik yet, but I have heard nothing but positive things from all the
players. It means alot to see these guys just return to loving the game. It is
hard to play and watch the game as you find yourself losing the love for it.
Lock Haven University has wasted alot of talent that they have had on their
football team over the years, but I think that is a thing of the past. New pride
is forming. Yes PRIDE something that has not been evident of the football
team over the years.
I think that as of right now they are a better team. The players are enjoying going to practice, workouts and weightligfting. I have seen the coaches
more excited than the players at practice. It was evident in last weeks Eagle
Eye as Coach Jenkins was jumping up and down as Derek Marshall crossed
the goaline in a. drill, not in a game, but a small little drill that meant nothing. But to him it seemed like everything. This is how football was meant to
be played. The new coaches are working well with the coaches that
remained and it looks like it is not justa job for anybody of that staff. Coach
Klacik has given some of them their Mojo back. The new staff appears to
actually enjoy football. I really want the players whoread this to enjoy a new
chance for themselves and for the University. They could be thc guys that
turn this thing around. See the oppurtunity that is ahead of you and take full
advantage of it because you could be like some of the guys that have come
and gone and we wish that we had this oppurtunity. I use to want to be done
with Lock Haven but now I would love to come back and catch a game. It
doesn't matter if they have 9 wins next year; the change is evident just ask
anyone that is
Good luck to thc team
If we could control everything then we would not know what it is like to
struggle nor would we know what being truely successful is.

baseball season, and 1 sure do love America's pastime; ."
however Haven Football Spirit is running through my veins this spring. ■
With the arrival of new head football coach John Klacik, suddenly LHU ."
football has sprung to life. Last Sunday, during the Hoot 'n' Holler Drill, the :
hard-hitting action got the players' blood flowing, and spread to those in •
I know that it is

Klacik brought the drill, which pits the offense against thc defense in a :
trench war, to Bald Eagle Football from Youngstown State. The offense lined |
up on one 45-yard line, while the defense mirrored them on the other 45. j
Then the defense put three players on the line and one at the "goal line":
against three offensive linemen and one ball carrier. The object was;
obviously to score before fourth down. The 10-yard trench war was very ;
emotional (see last week's sports front page). When the offense scored, they :
were hootin'...but when the defense stood strong, boy, were they hollerin'. •
It truly seems that the five straight 1-5 PSAC West seasons are a thing of
the past. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves here, but can you
remember this much optimism and energy for any other football season?
During the past month, I have heard nothing but good things about Haven \
Football...and that, my friends, is saying something right there.
I hope you are all following the women's spring sports. The Softball team
finished this week 8-0, and sit atop thc PSAC West Division with a perfect
10-0 conference mark.
Offensively they are lead by middle infield. Shortstop Courtney Hughes
and second baseman Heather Johnson continue to slug opposing pitchers.
Who's your Mama? Who's your Mama? Hojol Hojol
The lacrosse team continues to roll as well. This week they reached the
10 win mark, the first PSAC team to do so, and now the #3 Eagles are 6-2 1
in conference play. Mandy Alderfer and Diana Strizki pace the "Haven
Attack". Alderfer scored seven goals this week during the 2-0 LHU streak.
Last week, Strizki set the LHU career goals scored record, and she continues
to add to her total.
So, with the nice weather that we have been blessed with recently, I suggest that you stroll on up to the Softball and lacrosse fields. Show your Haven

An eddy is a pool that forms when

there is a break in the current due to a
large mass, either land or perhaps the
pillar of a bridge. Even if the eddy is
just the size of a trout, there will still
likely be one there.
When you sec rocks and riffles
there, where the water is deep enough,
it's a safe bet that a trout will be hiding
and protecting itself from the current
just waiting for a morsel to float by.
This last great spot to fish you'll
really have to look hard for sometimes,
but the payoff is big. When you see
darker waters, it obviously means that
thc water is deeper. The sun cannot
light it up as much. Not only are the
fish staying out of thc sun in this location, but they are laying low ofthe current behind a shelf on the floor of the
stream. So, you might want to put a little more weight on your line to dig
down in.

idling in an area with less current, having bugs and worms fall down from
above are all the reasons trout will be in
this area.
Lastly, I just want to give some
'after the big catch tips', if you keep
them that is. First, if you're looking to
get some good Omega-3 just make sure
you cut all the bones out (choking reasons) and the skin off and cook them
well. There are a lot of nasty chemicals
in fish. Do not try and survive on them
until thc end of thc semester. Health
specialists say it can really hurt you.
Once a week at most.
The other thing is if you are looking
to get your trophy mounted.
First,
make sure you frec/c it until you can
get it to the taxidermist. It preserves the
skin well. Make sure you take a picture
ofthc trout and measure it's length and
girth. Otherwise, it might come back
the wrong color and the wrong size.
Unfortunately, this happened to mc a
few years ago. It was still a great
mount, but without a picture and measurements it did not end up looking like
my fish.
I hope this information was helpful
or at least got you hyped for Saturday or
whenever you can get out, it is a long
season. Who knows, maybe I'll see you
out there. Good luck, everyone.

The
Wifey's, an all girl band
from Newpaltz. N.Y.
played an awesome three
hours of music in the
PUB MPR room.
The band of all homosexuals came to promote
and support anti-hate
crimes against all minorities. They used a wide
range of instruments such
as the mandolin, bongos,
cow bells, harmonicas
and of course drums, and
guitars.
This extremely talent-

such as O.A.R., Jane's
Addiction
and Ani
DiFranco, while also
playing original songs of
their own.
When asked what type
of genre the band played
one of the lead vocalists
responded, "chick rock."
They were a fun and
playful group of people
who didn't only sing but
also interacted with the
audience- and allowed
people to play the bongos
and cow bell along with
the beat of the song.
They will be going

studio

next

month to record their first
album, so the next time
they come to Lock Haven
they might not just be
coming to play for an

When you hear the words

"Matthew McConaughey" and
"Sahara" in the same sentence, it
can mean one of three things,
depending upon the person. If
you're a woman, it would probably mean that your name is in
the same sentence as the aforementioned words and that you're
in paradise. If you're a man, it
means that you think the mentioned location is the proper
place for the mentioned man. If
you're a movie-goer, it means a
good deal of fun.
Sahara, based on the Dirk
Pitt novels by the author Clive
Cussler. is an action/treasure
hunt/comedy with a conscience.
I, for one, was expecting a film
much like last year's National
Treasure and was quite pleased
to not get it. Instead, the film's
plot revolves around the outbreak of a seeming plague in

Mali. Africa and the actionpacked efforts of Dr. Eva Rojas
(the always lovely Penelope
Cruz), Dirk Pitt, and Dirk's
Navy buddy Al, (the always
stoned-looking Steve Zahn) to
derail it and the rule of the resident dictator. General Kazim
(played well by newcomer
Lcnnie James). Of course, treasure, in this case, from a long lost
Civil War ironclad, plays into
the adventures; after all, what's
disease when you can have
treasure and disease in your plot
line?
The film provides its share
of laughs and excitement. One
of the many highlights was the
performance of William H.
Macy, who seems to be in at
least 25 percent of the movies
released every year and who
ends up being terrific in all of
them. Though he had a small
role, he deftly played it. As
mentioned earlier, the film does
manage to inject a little political
commentary about Africa; as
one of the characters put it,
"Nobody cares about Africa".

While Dirk Pitt can be
viewed as being little more than
Indiana Jones with a social conscience and a Southern accent,
on his own merits, he is a good
character whom we could do

worse than than to see more of.
Sahara docs the job that it needs
to do; in case Hollywood forgets
what that is (and it seems they
often do), that job is to entertain.
You will not leave Sahara politically enlightened, but you will
leave it with a smile.

Co-Features Editor
if you are unhappy with the
musical acts chosen for the
annual spring concert or justlike
to check out new bands, then
you won't want to miss Tycoon
Dog's debut performance in
Lock Haven this Saturday.
Although new to Lock
Haven, the band has actually
been around since 19%, when
Scott Bailey, leader and songwriter ofTycoon Dog, gathered
together friends from different
areas of the country and world
to form Tycoon Dog. Nate
Stevens, bass, left his hometown
of Louisville. Ky. to pursue his
dreams of getting an education
and making music, and he
joined Tycoon Dog two weeks
after graduating from Thc
University of Miami (Ohio).
Chicago native Eric Johnson,
drums, adds diversity to the
band with his Creole heritage
and African and Latin rhythms

while Deb Craft, a Californian
girl with strong ties to New
England, contributes her powerful vocals. Godfrey De Grut
hails from Auckland. New
Zealand with impressive experience in composing and arranging, in addition to his skills on
the keyboard and saxophone.
he's
from
Although
Lancaster, Pa, Bailey's southern
roots have been a big influence
on the band's music, as well as
their name. The name, "Tycoon
Dog" juxtaposes Bailey's rural
past of being a "hillbilly from
the south" with his present fastpaced city environment.
"The coon dog is a perfect
example of the country way of
living and a tycoon represents
the money and sophistication of
city life," Bailey said. "Mixing
the two symbolizes the infusion
of our country vibe and our current city environment and it
really defines the band."

"We're not thc kind of band
that runs back to their tour bus
after the show and stays in
Hilton hotels. We're not doing
this for the fame and money,"
Bailey said. "It may sound
cliche, but thc best part really is
getting to meet new people
every week."
Tycoon Dog's long-term
goals are to keep providing their
fans with memorable songs and
improvisations, as well as continuing to visit different communities and celebrate music.
Bailey would love to be able to
tour and do music full time and
not have to work a day job, but
he doesn't see that changing
anytime soon.

Robert Morgan, a nationally
acclaimed author and poet

poetry and literature celebration
for the English department, said
Prof. Maddox-Hafer.

English curriculum, often covers a unit on poetry towards the
end of the semester that it is
offered, and Hater said that she
usually opens the lesson in her
class with a poem by Morgan.
His pieces mainly revolve
round historical events, particularly the revolutionary time
period. Morgan has written
works such as Gap Creek (a part
of Oprah's Book Club). The
Strange Attractor, The Truest
Pleasure, Brave Enemies, and
The Hinterlands. These books
were available for sale at the
event or can be purchased
online or at most bookstores.
