Public
Safety
encourages the community members to mind the
following safety tips to
avoid becoming a crime
victim.
According to Paul
Altieri, director of Public
and
Officer
Safety,
Cynthia Merryman, the
best advice to students
would be not going anywhere alone, especially at
night and when it's dark
out. Instead, the students
should travel in groups, or
at least pairs.
If you need to go out
alone, make sure to tell
someone where you are
going and when you are
going to be back. This
way, in case something
happens, the alert can be
raised immediately if you
don't reach your destination in time.
Your doors, including
your
doors,
bedroom
should be locked at all
times, even when you are
at home.
Never invite a stranger
your
house, and try to
in
"keep your personal information personal,"
as
Altieri put it. This means
not giving out your telephone number, where you
live and with whom,
whether or not you are living alone.
All of it might seem
like a simple common
but
as
knowledge,
Merryman pointed out,
there is no absolute guar-

antee that things like that,
won't happen to you. The
best you can do is to think
of the measures to avoid
dangerous situations and*
be prepared if case you'
find yourself in danger.
Thus, she recommends
that all LHU students
should put Public Safety's
number, 484-2278, to
their cell phone contacts.
Someone will be there to
respond 24/7.
In addition, Altieri and
Merryman advise students to be aware of their
surroundings. If you see a
suspicious person loitering, do not hesitate to give
a call to the PS office.
"You can never be too
safe," said Altieri stating
that they don't mind
checking out the phone
alerts to ensure the community's safety.
When parking, try to
choose a well-lit area to
avoid unpleasant surprises.
Finally, trust your
intuition.
"If the hair on your
neck goes up, this is the
call from the mothernature to be careful," said
Altieri.
to
According
Merryman, if you feel that
you are being followed,
sometimes it's better to
turn around and make an
eye contact. As a rule, the
criminals don't want to be
recognized, and there is a
good chance they won't
pursue
their original
plans if their faces have
been seen.
Public Safety also
encourages students to
take advantage of their
escort services available
to both off and on campus
residents.

New chef fears no challenge
Bryn Zeigler
Staff Reporter
bzeigle2C« lhup.edu
Imagine you are at
home and you ask your
mom, "What's for dinner?"
and she responds by saying, "Whatever you want!"
That is precisely the
answer that the new head
chef of Lock Haven's dining service, Zach Lorber,
is working to give to LHU
students.
"Any student can stop
me at any time and tell
me anything that they
would like to see on the
menu, and I'm willing to
try it," said Lorber.
The 28-year-old chefs
career has taken him to a
variety of places and has
allowed him to work with
a vast assortment of
cuisines.
The wealth of experience makes Lorber confident in stating that
"whatever the students
want, pending budget and
university guidelines," he
will put it on the menu.
Some of his stops
include,
Central
Washington University,
Cedar Point Amusement
Park, Bedford Springs
Resort, Miller Park and
Lambeau Field.
About working at the

Green Bay Packers' home
games, Lorber said, "It
was quite a task to make
enough food for 55,000
fans on Sunday afternoons."
The ambitious Lorber
began working with the
LHU dining services on
Jan. 5 and has already
proven his willingness to
try student's suggestions.
The first night that
students were back on
campus, he took the time
to speak with some of
them about the things
they would most like to
see served in upper
Bentley.
Their requests started
showing up in the premium selection within the
next week.
The student responsible for the choice got a
special surprise.
"I made sure to have
the name of the student
who made the suggestion

specialty
'Ashley's Shrimp Alfredo
Rigatoni.' It's added to the
fun of bringing new choices, as a lot of them have
been first in line to get
their choice, and then
taken the sign with them
at the end of the meal,"
said Lorber.

His intentions for S
the near future
include a contest
where students will
bring in a family
recipe.
The kitchen staff will
then choose five finalists
from the submissions that
come in.
Students will then get
to sample the recipes and
vote for the winner.
The addition of Lorber
to the LHU dining services has not only brought a
change in the menu
options, but also a more
positive attitude to the
kitchen atmosphere in
upper Bentley.
"Zach is a lot ofhelp to
everyone and his changes
to the menu have provided some excitement,"
explained First Cook
Christy Kramer, with the
dining services.
A welcome addition for
students and co-workers
alike, the new chefs' willingness to consider everything from lobster to
Korean cuisine, has made
the options in upper
Bentley nearly limitless.
Lorber admitted, "No
request is too ridiculous."

'flonor'&blz mention: fundraising for Relay for Life
Chris Brittain
Guest Writer
cbrittai* lhup.edu
The community service
area
of the
Honors
Program, only in its second year of participation
with the Relay for Life, is
hoping to raise more
money than any other
organization this year.
"Last semester, we
were involved in a series of
smaller projects to give
back to the community,"
said Kim Cox, the community service liaison for the
Honors Program. "This
semester, though, we're
putting almost all of our
effort into the Relay for
Life."
The Honors Program
will approach the Relay
similar to the same way
that it did last year, having Freshmen Discussion
Groups compete against
the upperclassmen to
raise money.
"I believe we raised
approximately $5,000 last
year, and most of our
effort was just through email
communication
alone," said Cox, "This
year's goal is $7,000. I'm

The Honors Program house is a home for those who focus on academic
excellence. With the upcoming Relay for Life event, honors students will also
concentrate on community service.
positive we can meet that
goal since we've started
earlier than ever, and the
interest seems to be higher than it has been in the
past."

One of the events that
have been planned is 'Pieing the Po-Po' where students have the chance to
throw pies at the officer
who frequently leaves

parking tickets on their
cars around campus.
"I got the idea after my
third parking ticket, and I
thought I could actually
make something positive

out of it," said Cox.
Although in charge of
the fundraising, Cox and
the student associate
directors of the program
will not be able to attend
this year's Relay due to
scheduling conflicts.
"I'll be in Annapolis,
Md. at the Northeast
Regional Honors Council
Conference the entire
weekend, unfortunately,
but I have put in charge
very capable and dependable upperclassmen for
the night of the event,"
said Cox.
Caroline Sweeney, the
student associate director
of Admissions, will also be
unable to attend this
year's Relay as well.
"It's a shame that we
won't be there considering
how much fun it was last
year," said Sweeney.
"I have a lot of faith in
the leaders that we put in
charge,
though,"she
added.
Kathy Richards, the
interim director for the
program, explains the
importance of the project
to the Honors Program.
"What we try to emphasize is that the Honors
Program should not just

be known for academic

excellence, but for our
ever-growing social and
community service opportunities," said Richards. "I
don't think most people
have a clue about the service aspect of our program.
We try to maintain the
whole package: higher
learning, making connections and serving the community."
One of the more prominent projects last year was
the Honors Program's participation in the Hunger
Bowl.
It lasted the entire
month of October and
ended at the Sleep Out for
Hunger, where students
slept outside in cardboard
boxes.
"We won the Hunger
Bowl because not only did
weraise over 3,000 canned
goods, but we put in over
400 hours collectively,"
said Cox, "Although we've
been successful with every
organization we've helped
so far, I don't see any reason why we can't keep getting bigger and better year
after year."

Pers ectives

NFL drops the ball
Joe Stender
Perspectives Editor
jstenderto lhup.edu
As a football fan, there
is nothing better then the
first Sunday in February,
when the last two NFL
teams battle for the
Lombardi Trophy. I love
the whole idea of the
Super Bowl; it does not
guarantee that the best
team will win. but the
best team on that given
day.
It is not like baseball
or hockey where if you
lose one game it is OK
because there is still six
more games. The Super
Bowl says to the two
teams, "This is the date,
show up and play," no ifs,
ands or buts about it.
The Super Bowl is a
pure game, there are no
second chances and anything could happen. A
perfect example was last
year's game where the
seed,
sixth
unlikely
known as the New York
Giants, took out the.
then, undefeated New
England Patriots.
There are only a few
things that could take
away from such a great
tradition from the millions of viewers that tune
into it every year.
There are things such
as blowouts and a horrible selection of commercials that could ruin the
"Big Game" for casual
viewers and hardcore
fans alike. These things
are risks you take when

and possibly the worst
team to get into the playoffs in a long time.
But surprisingly, the
game did not disappoint,
this past Sunday's game
started off as a blowout,
but ended in a way that
people only prayed for
when the matchup was
set.
After being down by
13 points, the Cardinals
defense stepped-up and
the Cardinals were soon
up by three points. But
as was typical for this
past
season,
Ben
Roethlisberger marched
his team down the field
and threw the game-winning touchdown to the
game's "Most Valuable
Santonio
Player,"
Holmes.
Though the team that
was favored to win did
win in the end, it was still
a great game because it
was a bit harder for them
then was expected to be.
In a perfect world, the
Steelers players, coaches
and fans would celebrate
the championship and
the media would talk
about how great the game
was.

The Cardinals players
coaches would be
upset, but would be proud
of their effort against a
powerhouse of an opponent and the fans would
see this as the start of a
promising future.
This is not how the
game ended. As I woke
up the day after the
game, the sports analysts
said the expected things

People of all ages packed into the Parsons Union
Building on Thursday, Jan. 29.
No, it was not a rock concert.
Instead, it was the latest bingo night organized in
efforts to raise money for Lock
Haven's Relay for Life.
With the fall semester's bingo
night being named "boobie bingo,"
organizers used Vera Bradley as
their hook to get an even better
turn-out this semester.
Prizes were not limited to the
well-known Vera Bradley accessory collection, however.
The first few games included DVD prizes including
all five of the American Pie
movies and John Tucker Must
Die.
The DVDs were prizes handed out to winners of the regular
bingo rounds.
As the games differed, the
prizes increased in "Vera value,"
ranging from a coin purse by
forming an X or a laptop case if the entire card was covered,

"The game was getting so intense by the end because
there were so many people who wanted to win," said
freshman, Krystina Armstrong. "It
was definitely a lot of fun and for
such a great cause."
Breast and testicular cancers are
on the rise, and success rates are
getting even higher each year.

The events and fundraisers help with the dedication
of the younger generation, in order to make a difference,
and HAC made that happen.
Donations were not limited to entrance and game
boards though.
There were also T-shirts and
bracelets on sale, as well as raffles.
Participants could also purchase extra game boards for $5.
Everyone came ready to play;
some even came sporting their

The bingo night was held in order to raise funds for
Lock Haven University's Relay for Life being held on
March 27, 2009.
Relay for Life is being held at 7 p.m. at the Student

Teams can sign-up or make donations at relayforlife.org/palhu.

More track and field records fall in two meets
Kris Glad

Today

Saturday

Being in two places at
once is near impossible,
but with the men's and
women's track and field
teams being split on
Friday and Saturday, they
were not only able to have
more students qualify for
the PSAC and NCAA
Championships.

During the two events,
five school records were
set at the Penn State
National Invitation and
the Bucknell Open, one for
the Bald Eagles and four
for the Lady Eagles.
All four of the Lady
Eagles records that were
set this weekend were at
Penn State, two of the
events earned NCAA qualifying times.
"Having the team set
five new school records is
great. I feel honored to be
a part of such a hard and
dedicated team. Now we
know that we need to work
even harder to go and
break these five or even
five new ones," said
Christina Ohmott, who
tied for third in the polevault at Bucknell.
Alyssa Douma and
Shala Simms not only did
well individually but were
part of two record-setting

"My 3K went very well
for my first time racing it,
there was a lot of competition," said Lambert.
At the Bucknell open
there were good performances by some of the Lady
Eagles.
Vanita Moses qualified
for the PSAC championships in two events.
Moses took third in the
weight throw with a distance of 49' 4-1/2" and
eighth place in the shot
put with a distance of 38'
2-2/4".
On the men's side,
Chris Edelman had a stellar performance at the
Penn State meet as he not
only broke an LHU record,
but was part of two NCAA
qualifying relay teams.
Edelman set the school
record for the men's 400
meter dash with a speedy
48.91, enough to earn
fourth place in the event
and earn a spot in the
PSAC championships.

Bald Eagles fall
to West Virginia
in the final match

Seeking to keep their
momentum going against
their Eastern Wrestling
League opponents the
Bald Eagles (6-8-1, 1-3
EWL) hosted the West
Virginia Mountaineers (64, 3-0 EWL) Saturday.

The match was a continuous back and forth
with the final match
determining the winner;
unfortunately for LHU
the Mountaineers won the
last contest and the match
20-16.
The final bout to determine the winner of the
match was in the heavyweight class. LHU's Gabe
Murtoff took on No. 18
Dustin Rogers. Murtoff
was only able to score one
point in the match as
Roger's was given the
major decision, 9-1.
"It's always great for
the fans to see a match
come down to the final
bout of a dual. WVU
Heavyweight (Rogers) was
nationally ranked, so we
knew it would be a big
challenge for our red shirt
freshman, Gabe Murtoff.
It was a very exciting and
competitive dual meet,"
said
Coach
Rocky
Bonomo.
Both teams took five
bouts during the match,
but the most exciting
match of the night came
as Matt Fittery upset
No. 19 David Jauregui in
the 149 weight class. With

40 seconds left in the
opening period Fittery
scored first with a takedown putting him up 2-0.
Fittery continued with
his
aggressive
ways
throughout the second
period by not allowing
Jauregui to score any
points. Fittery scored with
two escapes in the final
period, the first one coming early in the third period and the second coming
shortly after Jauergui's
lone
takedown.
The
escapes were enough to
give him the 4-2 victory.
"I was happy with my
match. He (Jauregui) is a
tough wrestler, and I
knew it would be a close
match. I just stuck to my
game plan and kept hand
fighting and attacking
and was able to come
away with the victory,"
said Fittery.
At the beginning of the
match Lock Haven looked
strong as they were able
to capture the first two
bouts, first in the 125 and
then in the 133.
In the first contest of
the night, Nick Hyatt took
on West Virginia's Kyle
Turnbull in the 125 pound
bout. Hyatt won his match
over Turnbull 9-4, to give
LHU the early 3-0 lead.
Billy Ashnault helped
the Bald Eagles jump to a
7-0 lead against the

Bald Eagles drop two games
despite strong efforts

Adam Roberts
Editor in Chief
arobertstolhup.edu
The men's basketball
team (3-16, 1-5 PSAC
West) suffered two crushing losses to PSAC West
foes last week.

The Bald Eagles fell to
Slippery Rock University
(12-7, 3-3 PSAC West) 6751 at Thomas Fieldhouse
on
Wednesday
night
before losing to No. 6
Gannon University (16-2,
5-1 PSAC West) 90-53 on
Saturday.
The losses toppled the
surging squad from the

high they received after
their last-second win
against
Mercyhurst
College last week.
Their most recent
defeat came on the road,
primarily because of a
high number of turnovers.
The Haven turned the ball
over 28 times in the contest against Gannon.
Coach John Wilson
says he was impressed
with his team's performance, especially defensively, in the first 15 minutes.
With 6:26 left in the
first half, however, the
Bald Eagles seemed to fall
apart, allowing Gannon to
go on an 18-4 run. The run
also featured six of Lock
Haven's nine turnovers in

the first half.
In the second half the
Bald Eagles improved
their shooting percentage,
but they were never able
to close the gap.
Senior Billy Arre lead
the Haven with 12 points
and five steals. Warren
Christian, Kelvin McLean
and David Black well also
netted double figures,
scoring 10 each.
Christian posted a
game-high eight rebounds
in the contest.
Though several player
had a solid performances,
Gannon proved to be too
much for the Bald Eagles.

Lost but not forgotten:
Five sports that have
disappeared from campus
Kris Glad
Sports Editor
kgladtolhup.edu
Just
outside
the
Durrwachter
Alumni
Center there are several
tennis courts that when
the weather is warm you
are likely to find students playing on them.
What most students may
not realize is that when
those courts were first
set up they were the
home to both the men's
and women's varsity tennis teams.
Throughout the history
of Lock
Haven
University there have
been five varsity sports
removed. Aside from
both men's and women's
tennis, LHU used to
have a men's golf team, a
men's swimming team
and women's gymnastics
team.
While the programs
were very different they
all experienced similar
problems that ultimately
led
them being
to
removed.
The biggest issue for
each was inconsistency,
both in the number of
students as well as the
coaching staff.
"If you don't have the
stability of a coach to
help recruit, you have a
hard time keeping the
program," said LHU
Director of Athletics
Sharon Taylor.
Taylor, who oached
the tennis program in its
first year, 1972, has seen
the effect this can have
on a sport.
When the number of
students that want to be
part of a team continuously changes it can
have an effect on the
coaching staff. This often
creates a problem keeping coaches.
At times the role of
coach was filled on a
part-time basis by faculty or people outside of
the university.
The decision to end
the programs wasn't
something that happened in one day, the
process took time.
The first program to
go was the men's swimming program. The last
full season it experienced was in 1973-1974.
While the competition
for the Bald Eagles was
tough to come by at

times they did experience some success.
"Men's
swimming
back in the day did something on the conference
level," said Taylor.
It wasn't enough to
keep the program going.
It wouldn't be until
the 1989-1990 school
year that another program would be dropped,
which was women's gymnastics.
The program experienced its share of problems. There was a liability issue with equipment
and the team didn't have
a full-time coach.
By that time, most of
the schools in the PSAC
had dropped their gymnastics program, and
competition was becoming scarce.
The
Lady
Eagles
would have had to compete with Division III
schools
around
the
Philadelphia
area.
Eventually the decision
was made to dissolve the
program.

The remaining promen's
and
women's tennis
and
men's golf, all ended
after the
1992-1993
school year.
The tennis teams had
been around since the
early 1970's. The program was plagued with
inconsistencies. There
were some years in
which both teams had a
lot of interest and others
where there was almost
no interest from the students.
Despite the consistency problems they did
show signs of success.
"The women were
very competitive in the
conference," said Carol
Lugg.
Lugg, a former tennis
coach
and
current
Assistant to the Director
of Athletics for Facilities
and Events saw the
potential of the program.
On the men's side,
Lugg noticed that they
displayed a desire to
play and began to develop leadership skills and
respect for the program.
The LHU golf team
didn't seem to suffer
from the same inconsistencies that bothered the
other programs.
It had a dedicated
coach, former head football Coach Bob Weller,
grams,

and competed at other
schools.
The program existed
on campus as long as
Weller wanted to coach it
and after he decided to
stop coaching, the program couldn't find a
replacement.
The biggest problem
that faced the golf program was the fact that
there was no place on
campus for the students
to practice. The team
ended up practicing at
local golf courses.
Weller didn't seem
bothered by any problems that came along; he
was more focused on the
students.
"It was a good break
for some of the kids,"
said Weller. "It was for
young men who enjoyed
playing the game of golf."
The only success that
Weller remembers the
team having was when
David
Petruzzi
was
invited to take part in an
annual golf tournament
hosted by a state legislator. Petruzzi finished
third in the tournament
and his winnings were
given to Lock Haven's
general
scholarship
fund.
Because a sport gets
eliminated doesn't mean
that something won't
take its place. When the
gymnastics team was
it
dissolved,
was
replaced with volleyball
the next year.
When the tennis and
golf teams dissolved, the
space they left went to
create the women's soccer team and add more
events for the track and
field team.
The women's soccer
team started out as a
club and because of the
interest it drew it was
the best fit to become a
varsity sport.
There isn't much left
of these sports, despite
how long they were part
of the university. The
tennis courts still stand
and there are currently
clubs for gymnastics and
golf.
There is a chance that
someday we might see
these sports come back.
Most sports that are at
the university now started out as clubs.

"They are a very good

The Rock's intensity

Offensively, the Haven
also struggled with a field

Wilson noted that while
scoring chances were
available the Bald Eagles
were unable to capitalize.
"We need to see opportunities better on the
offensive side," Wilson
said. "We missed opportunities to take advantage of

Eagles tennis team dropped their match against the warriors almost 17 years
ago. The tennis team would go on for one more season before being disbanded

by the university. The men's tennis team is one of the five sports that has been
dissolved at Lock Haven. Currently tennis is offered as an co-ed intramural
sport. The other dissolved sports are now either clubs or intramurals with the
exception of men's swimming which no longer exists.

that his team is making a
bid for the PSAC West
post-season though they
are still dealing with their
depth issues.
Both
Wilson
and
Christian believe the key
to a turn around will be
tempo control. A return to
a slow, concise game of
"Lock Haven basketball"
will give the Bald Eagles a
chance to notch more conference wins.
"We need to play tough,

Invitational at Boston
University.
"We're resting a lot of
people this weekend, and
really making a run at
some great performances
up in Boston in two weeks.
It's one of the fastest
indoor tracks in the
nation, so we hope to keep
everyone healthy and
have them ready to roll.
At Susquehanna this
weekend a number of people will be competing to
see where they're at and
get a chance at some
events they haven't had a
chance to compete in yet.
I think we'll see a number
of strong performances at
both meets," said Co-head
coach Aaron Russell.

three of the first four
bouts of the night Lock
Haven had a firm 10-4
lead.
West Virginia would
get right back into the
match as they took the
next three bouts, the 157,
165, and 174. In order for
LHU to stay in the match
they would need to get victories in the next two
bouts, which they got.
In the 184 bout Tom
Kocher picked up the
essential victory for Lock
Haven. Kocher took on
WVU's Lance Bryson. The
match was close but
Kocher was able to keep
Bryson at bay and take
the 5-3 victory.
In the 197 contest, Ben

Hepburn
narrowly
escaped with the victory.
He took on Kyle Rooney.
The match was the closest
of all the bouts with
Hepburn winning 3-2 and
forcing the match to be
decided by the heavyweight contest.
The Bald Eagles only
have two regular season
matches left before the
EWL championships and
the NCAA Championships
in March.
Bonomo said that both
meets are very important
for the Bald Eagles, especially when it comes to the
EWL championships and
determining who is seeded
where.
"These are probably
the
most
important
matches of the year coming up. Bloomsburg has
always kind of been our
rival and they have another tough team this year so

it would be great to beat
them. And Clarion is our
last home dual meet and
that is another toss up so
they are both huge matches for us," said Fittery.
Their next match will
be their last road match of
the season as they travel
to Bloomsburg (7-6, 2-2
EWL) and the final match
will be at home against
Clarion (7-12, 0-3 EWL).
LHU's meeting last season
against BU resulted in a
22-16 victory for the
Huskies.
"These next two are
matches that are very big
rivals for us. Bloomsburg
especially since their program is comparable to
ours in many ways. We
just have to be ready and
willing to meet the challenge ahead," said Ollie
Cooperwood.

Therapeutic recreation club offers experience
Danielle Tepper
Staff Reporter
dtepper@lhup.edu
When a university
like Lock Haven offers
over 100 clubs and organizations to choose from,
it's not easy for students
to decide which ones will
best suit their personalities and preferences. In
addition to special interest clubs that offer something for everyone, there
are also clubs for almost
every major. Some have
been around for years
and years, while others
are just getting started.
One of these new clubs is
the
Therapeutic
Recreation Club.
A concentration in the
recreation management
major, therapeutic recreation (TR) focuses specifically on "uses treatment,
education and recreation
services to help people
with illnesses, disabilities and other conditions
to develop and use their
leisure in ways that
enhance their health,
functional abilities, independence and quality of
life." (For more info visit
h ttp://w ww.recreationtherapy.com)
In other words, recreational therapists use
activities such as drama,
art, music, movement,
writing, and verbal processing as their tools to
aid healing and growth of
the client, rather than
strict physical therapy.
Recreational
therapists work in a variety of
community and clinical
settings for people of all
ages with physical and/or
psychological disabilities,
including, but not limited
to: psychiatric and rehabilitation hospitals, substance abuse and addiction treatment facilities,
skilled nursing facilities,
residential and day treatment programs for children, adolescents, and
seniors, schools, camps,
community senior cen-

ters, community recreation centers, medical
hospitals, forensic facilities such as prisons, juvenile halls, etc, and private practices.
It is the responsibility
of recreational therapists
to assess each client, formulate treatment plans

majors. Rodland said
they have been slowly
trying to recruit members and to establish a
budget, since the SCC
still has them on contingency. They have also put

that address the areas for
intervention, implement
the treatment plan, document progress on the
client and evaluate the
efficacy of the interventions being provided.
Haley Rodland, current
president,
explained, "We can go to
Veteran hospitals, work
with kids who have disabilities and go to nursing homes or aquatic
facilities where we use
pools with exercise equipment in the water for
therapy. We recently
learned about Watsu,
which was really interesting."
(Water
Watsu
Shiatsu) began in 1980
"in the warm pool at
Harbin Hot Springs when
Harold Dull started floating people while applying
the stretches and principles of the Zen Shiatsu
he had studied in Japan,"
according to watsu.com.
This movement through
water is still used today
as a relaxation technique.
The
Therapeutic
Recreation Club was
started last fall. So far,
there are only 13 mem-

of electing a

treasurer.
So far, they have
spent their time as a club
attending conferences,
where they learned more
about their chosen career
path.
They recently had a
speaker, Wendy Jo, visit
from the Pennsylvania
Recreation and Parks
Society (PRPS). PRPS
was founded in 1935, and
it is "the principal organization promoting quality
recreation
and
park
opportunities for all citizens
of
the
Commonwealth through
education, training, technical
assistance and
other support to local,
county, state and federal
recreation
and
park
providers," according to
its official Web site.
Rodland plans to further organize the TR
Club and get them
involved in community
service. She'd also like to
bring them to facilities
where LHU alumni are
currently employed.
"I'd really like to get
us more involved on campus and in the community. More networking and

Vice president Stacy
Bowman also commented, "I love being a part of
the TR club because I am
an advocate for therapeutic recreation. I feel that
it is important for TR
majors to be a part of the
club too, because as a
club, and as friends, we
are able to spread awareness and create a new

It is many a sports
fan's dream to get behind

players one-on-one, discuss the team with the
owners, or keep a gamewinning ball.
Senior Kate Chorney
got to experience all of
this and more during her
summer 2008 internship
with the Philadelphia
Force, a fast-pitch softball
team with games based in
Allentown.
Chorney, a communication media major with
concentrations in advertising and public relations
as well as a minor in communication
studies,
worked 40-hour weeks
with the team all summer,
earning a total of nine
credits.
She received help from
Dr. Matthew Girton of the

department in finding an

One aspect of the
internship that really
stuck with her was the
help she received from the
program's intern coordinator, Barry Eisenburg,
who Chorney described as
an outgoing, friendly man.
"He knew we were all
new to this," she said. "He
showed us what really
goes on."

It's been said that waiting is the hardest part,
and for Guns N' Roses
fans this could not be
truer.
To say the band's latest
"Chinese
album,
Democracy," was long
anticipated would be the
understatement of the
century and, frankly, last
cfcntury as well.
Aside from an odd single here and there, this is
the first release of original
material from GN'R since
1991's "Use Your Illusion"
albums.
Time wasn't the only
resource spent by Geffen
Kecords on this project; in
2005, a New York Times
article reported that $13
million had been spent on
jChinese Democracy" and
febeled it "the most expenalbum never made."
The hefty price tag and
continual delays weren't
the only controversy surrounding the production of
the album.
The band itself is hardly recognizable from their
classic debut, "Appetite for
Destruction."
Singer Axl Rose is the
only band member from
that album to appear on
"Chinese
Democracy,"
begging the question of
whether this current
incarnation can even truly
be called Guns N' Roses.
In fact, Rose hired and
fired another slew of members
the
throughout
recording of the album, so
the songs on "Chinese
Democracy" include work
from a rotating cast of 12
band members, including
members with names like
Buckethead (who wears a
KFC bucket on his dome)
and Bumblefoot.
With all of the hype
and controversy surrounding "Chinese Democracy,"
one would expect the
album to be either an
unstant classic or a colossal embarrassment.
The truth is that the
album is just average.
While there are some
decent songs and even a
couple of really good ones.
Rose mostly fails to display the ferocity that
defined earlier G N' R
releases.
What we are left with
is

sounds great at first, until

one realizes that it comes
at the expense of the wild,
unpredictable, raw sound
that propelled Guns N'
Roses to fame and glorious
infamy.
Several tracks stand
out above
the others,
though, and really save
the album.
"Better" is probably the
best' song on the album.
The chorus has a tremendously catchy hook and
through most of the song,
Rose sounds like the
screeching, swaggering
Axl of old.
"Street of Dreams"
slows things down a bit
and is a very respectable
effort, even if at times it
sounds like it's trying a bit
too hard to be "November
Rain."
"If the World" is another good song that is interesting because of its use of
Arabic-sounding music.
Then; are 14 tracks on
"Chinese Democracy" and
none of them are bad, but

only a few are very good.
If you are a Guns N'
Roses fan, you simply
must buy this album and
draw your own conclusions.
If you're still upset
about the loss of Slash,
Duff,
and
Izzy
Matt/Steven, put those
feelings asidp. Just think
of all the other great
bands that have made
massive
personnel
changes over the years,
like Iron Maiden and
JethroTull.
If you're not already a
Guns N' Roses fan, don't
bother with "Chinese
Democracy. Go pick, up
"Appetite for Destruction"
and become a fan.
If you do decide to purchase
"Chinese
Democracy," remember
that it is only being sold at
Best Buy. Otherwise you'll
end up like me and waste
an inordinate amount of
time hunting it down.

Between classes, clubs
and group meetings students may find themselves
pushing far beyond their
mental limits.
When it comes to the
deadlines of homework
and fitting in time to
study there's little downtime in most people's
schedules to just relax.
However, relaxation is
essential to making it
through the stresses ofcollege without having a
complete breakdown.
Along with the classes
offered at the Student Rec
Center like kickboxing
and fit-n-firm, to help students stay in shape physically, yoga is offered to
keep the mind refreshed
as well.
Yoga is a great way to
clear your mind of the
unnecessary clutter and
can help you to stay better
focused on the more
important tasks.
To many times we let
the insignificant details or
the things in our lives we
can't control take over our
thoughts, rather than
staying centered on stuff
we do have control over.
"I find that the morning following my Yoga
class I am able to wake up

the room.
The instructor then
leads the class through a
few positions that will
help everyone get into the
right mindset.
It starts with a few
breathing techniques in
which you inhale and
exhale
very
deeply
through the nose.
Breathing techniques
are key to getting the full
experience. If you're not
fully breathing then the
relaxation you are trying
to achieve will not have
the same affect.
After everyone has
mastered the breathing
the instructor gets into
more difficult positions.
Through the whole
experience she side coaches and reminds the participants to continue taking
long deep inhalations and
exhalations to intensify
the stance.
Girls and guys alike
are encouraged to participate in these classes.
"I couldn't believe how
many guys were taking
the yoga class," said
Lingle. 'There were more
girls, of course, but 'the
number of guys was
crazy."

Yoga is offered Mon.

The other trick of
great amusement seemed
to be when Kent threw an

passed it along through
three audience members,
cutting the deck each

Kent grew up in Ohio
and developed an interest in magic at the age of
six. His interest has continued to grow ever since.
He has traveled to over
20 states, performing at
over 40 colleges across

Students welcome the Year of the Ox

Students and professors gathered at the
Institute for International
Studies (IIS) on Tuesday.
Feb. 3 to celebrate
Setsubun. a Japanese festival. The event was held
from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Setsubun is a celebration of the beginning of
spring that takes place
one day before spring
begins on the Japanese
lunar calendar.
"The word "setsubun"
literally means a division
of the seasons, since it is
traditionally held that
this time of year marks
the beginning of the 'eve
of spring.'" according to
the Japanese Holiday
Traditions website.
In order to have a
prosperous New Year, the
tradition is for attendees
to throw roasted soy
beans, shouting 'oni wa
soto' (get out demons) and
'fuku wa uchi' (come in
happiness.)"
The purpose of this is
to chase away the demons
of misfortune and welcome prosperity into one's
life. This is similar to the
