Class registration begins for spring '08
Brandy Peifer
Staff Reporter

Scheduling for the
spring 2008 semester has
begun. This can be a
stressful time for students
but there are ways to
make it a little easier,

starting with knowing
how to schedule.
Before students are
able to schedule their
classes an appointment
needs to be made with
their advisor. Advisors
need to approve each
advisee's class choices
before registration. A student's best resource for
questions about classes

and majors is their academic advisor.
"There is no substitute
for meeting with your
advisor prior to registration," said Dr. Leonard
Long, chair and associate
professor of the recreation

ically dealt with any concern a student might
have".
After meeting with
their advisors and getting
cleared

registration priority and
each group has a specific
beginning date and time.
Students can find out
their scheduling time at
the LHUP website by
clicking on students under
advising. Students need to
know their ID number and
pin to access the information.

Upon entering the system students should have
their proposed class schedule and alternate classes
ready. Once the option is
set to spring 2008 the site
will indicate the date and
time a student is scheduled to begin registration.

Hi

The need for blood is
always an important one,
but LHU is doing its part
with a successful blood
drive on Oct. 31 and an
award from the American
Red Cross.
In early September
Wendy Walsh, RHA advisor and blood drive coordinator, received notice that
LHU
had won
the
Outstanding Sponsor of
the Year award. The
plaque and trophy is
awarded annually to the
best donation site in the
northeastern Pa. (NEPA)

A student waits to donate blood on Halloween. The blood drive collected 179 pints of blood.

"Entries are submitted
by the account managers
based on their territory
and sponsors they work
with," said Susan Ricker,
American
Red
Cross
account manager for the
NEPA region. "This award
is presented one time per
the
by
NEPA
year
Regional Blood Center
Board of Directors."
The award recognizes
the dedication put forth by
Walsh, Red Cross and student volunteers as well as
the donors who truly make
the drives successful.
"People who help are
great but in the end it is
about blood and that is
what we need," said
Walsh.
The Halloween blood
drive, which was held in
the PUB only added to
Lock Haven's reputation
of sponsoring outstanding
events.
"Halloween is always a
fun time to do PR," said
Walsh.
As with the other
drives at LHU each donor
was given a free t-shirt. To
go with the Halloween
theme donors were given a
shirt
that
featured
Frankenstein and said,
"listen to Frankie. Give
Blood."
The advertisements for
the drive also included
spooky characters. A vampire was on many of the
posters for the blood drive
with the slogan, "We want

your blood.
For each drive the Red
Cross along with Walsh
and her chairperson set a
goal of how many pints of
blood the drive will bring
in.
'The goals are mutually set ones. The center
has to decide how many
people will be there to help
and then we think given
past history, groups that
are sponsoring and time of
the year how much we can
give," said Walsh.
The goal for this drive
was set at 130 pints of
blood. Walsh points out
that an average of 30 people are deferred based on
history, iron count and
body temperature so it is
important to attract at
least that many people
over the goal.
That was no problem
for this drive as 215 people
attempted to donate. As
expected 35 people were
deferred leaving 179 pints
from productive donors.
According to Ricker
537 lives were saved from
the blood collected at this
drive alone.
Though Walsh knows
donors play the most
important role in any
blood drive the volunteers
from the university and
community helped to far
exceed the original goal.

Education students receive
FBI clearances to teach
Christina Shuman
Staff Reporter
cshumani?lhup.edi

Students in need of
FBI fingerprinting clearances had the opportunity
last week to do so.
After registering at
www.pa.cogentid.com,
students could go to the
university's Public Safety
office, which housed a
device called LiveScan.
The fingerprinting is
just one of the requirements needed for LHU
students majoring in education.
According to
Public School Code, any
occupation that deals with
children requires a criminal background check, Act
34; a child abuse clearance, Act 33; the FBI criminal record and current TB
Test results.
Education
majors
begin all of these checks
their freshman year and
all results are recorded in
the Office of Student
Teaching
and
Field
Experience.
"The
Pennsylvania
Department of Education
will not allow our students
to have any contact with
school students without
these current legal documents," said Patricia
Cozzi, secretary for the
Student Teaching and
Clearances Educational
Partnership.
Students were expected to pay a $40 fee online
after making an appointment to get the finger-

printing done. At their
appointed time students
needed a valid driver's
license and the registration number that they had
received from PA Cogent
online.
The actual process
takes no more than 15
minutes and is generally
easy to operate, which was
the general consensus
among the Public Safety
Office staff that operated
the LiveScan.
"While working with
kids, you can never be too
careful. This process is
very necessary in my opinion," said Rich Morvin,
sophomore secondary education
social
studies
major.
With today's technology, the computer proves to
be faster in identifying
criminals instead of using
ink prints on paper.
"The
fingerprints,
along with identifying
information listed on the
request for LiveScan service form are searched in
the data files for matches
that reveal whether there
is criminal history on
record for that individual,
which in turn is used for
identification, employment and licensing purposes. Another plus to
Live Scan is that is quick
and easy to administer,"
said Paul J. Altieri, director
of Lock
Haven
University Public Safety.
The student's scanned
fingerprints are sent to
the Pennsylvania State
Police, they will then submit the prints and the

applicant's

demographic

information to the FBI.
Federal law that was
amended and effective as
of April 1, 2007, according
to
Cogent's
website,
requires this process.
"It takes approximately 4 to 8 weeks to get the
FBI record clearance back,
depending on the volume
of requests they are processing," said Cozzi.
Once students receive
the clearance results, they
are expected to bring the
to
the
paperwork
Robinson
Learning
Center, room 613, so that
they can be verified and
recorded.
Students are advised to
wait until they have
received all of the necessary clearances and have
them all recorded at one
time.
The criminal background check and the
child abuse clearance are
only good for one year and
need to be renewed annually.
Summer would be the
best time for students to
have their clearances
renewed, so that they are
ready for the upcoming
semester.
"Most of our LHU students are very good about
fulfilling the
state
requirements regarding
updating their clearances
because their goal is to
become teachers and they
know these clearances are
meant to protect the students they hope to teach in
the future," said Cozzi.

President Keith Miller stands with Terry Murty at Aungst Restaurant where a
recent meeting was held between Murty and Phi Delta Kappa.

Principal shares
experiences, opinions
with Phi Delta Kappa
Eduardo Valerio
For The Eagle Eye
Last Tuesday evening,
Principal Terry Murty of
Woodward and Dickey
Schools,
Elementary
addressed members of the
Lock Haven Chapter of
Phi Delta Kappa at the
Aungst Restaurant in Mill
Hall, hosted by Phi Delta
Kappa of LHU, in hopes of
offering real-life insight to
those attending.
Murty shared how he
came to serve as principal
for Woodward Elementary
and Dickey Elementary
Schools in Lock Haven. He
is a graduate of Lock
Haven University and has
a long history with the
community serving in
schools as a teacher and
assistant principal before
accepting his current position.
Murty discussed the
commitment to education
and growing the knowledge of children in these
schools. He talked about
recent research that indicates the importance of
assisting children very
early on in regard to educational needs. He outlined several ways in
which teachers, specialists
and parents are working
together to address specific needs.
One very beneficial
program involves teacher
training at Lock Haven
University.
Murty explained how it
was discovered that university students who were
being trained to teach
could assist the elementary schools by participating in programs designed
to target specific needs. A
partnership has been
formed that is very effective and does not cost taxpayer dollars while providing excellent benefits
both to elementary students and teacher trainees
who are gaining invaluable experience they will
take with them into their
own classrooms.
Murty cited a beneficial relationship that Dr.
Steven Rush and Dr. Sally
Lima have established
with elementary schools —
especially
Dickey
Elementary School—from
a beginning interest in a
"test program" and then to
development of a full-

fledged consistent participation in the schools.
This mutually beneficial relationship
has
translated into sound recommendations
from
employment for candidates who participate
resulting in hiring.
Murty stated he would
not hesitate to fill positions in the district with
these candidates when
openings are presented.
Due to their familiarity in
working in these schools
on a consistent basis, he
believes the candidates
are miles ahead of the
standard
pre-service
teacher. They have experience equivalent to candidates with full internships
behind them.
Murty discussed other
aspects of elementary education in the schools: literacy, individualization of
services, how parents and
specialists serve in specific ways that benefit education in the classroom. He
highly praised the classroom teachers and their
dedication to education—
their professional commitment. He also praised the
nurses Mrs. Cowger and
Mrs. Sorgen and cited how
their role in the school has
increased over the years.
Fine arts were mentioned
and
Principal
Murty discussed how Mr.
Craig Brady works with
teachers to create projects
in which art expresses or
enhances classroom topics. Music is also used in
this way—studying the
meter of poetry.
The new generation of
educators seeks to integrate and interweave curricular goals throughout
school day rather than
strictly separating topics
into time segments. This
allows students more time
to consider key aspects
and produces stronger
learning skills.
Rick Lilla of the audience asked how the education in our area compares
to other locations such as
State College, where it is
generally perceived that
education is of a higher
caliber.
Murty discussed key
factors that are considered
in performance of a school.
One of the strengths that
Keystone Central schools
offer is the family-centered aspect. There is high
parental involvement and

In case of emergency,
students will soon be able
to receive texts on their
phones with information
telling them what to do.
The university's Public
Safety has recently joined
the more than 250 colleges
and universities around
the country that have
already signed on with the
e2campus program.
According to a recent
USA Today article by
Verena Dobnik and Ryan
J. Foley of the Associated

Press,
services in time ofcrisis on
our nation's campuses are
becoming more popular.
Most students have cell
phones and this seems like
an easy way to reach and
inform students.
Lock Haven recently
signed on with the e2campus program, sponsored
by Omnilert, a company
based in Leesburg, Va.
Within the next week

find a link on the main
website that will help
them enter in their cellphone information in

a more intimate feel often-

times that schools in the
larger areas are not able
to accomplish with high
security and strict rules.
He noted that ironically teachers in schools with
lower achievement ratings
may frequently represent
a higher caliber ofteacher,
because they know how to
use effective strategies
that teachers in classrooms with less challenges
may not. In every setting
there are specific challenges to meet. He also
noted that it is likely that
graduates of Lock Haven
University will be serving
in schools in both areas.
Candidates who received
their training in the same
place, serve in a variety of
districts in our area.
A number of other topics were discussed: No
Child Left Behind and
when or whether it would
be extended or modified.
Murty said that it was
very likely to be extended.
He believes it may be modified in how it is applied in
order to benefit schools
and students using interpretations that are more
fair and just to students
with documented special
He also stated that this
legislation, while unpopular in some circles, had

expectations, which has

achievement on the part of
students.
He also believes that
the modification or extension of No Child Left
Behind may be put off a
little farther in the future
and dependent upon the
interpretation of new leadership that is elected to
office.
Murty also highlighted
how diversity is introduced into elementary
classrooms in response to
a question by Dr. Andrew
Jackson who is the
Regional Director for Phi
Delta Kappa and frequently attends our meetings. Dr. Keith Miller,
president of Lock Haven
University,
exchanged
information with Jackson
in regard to the possibility
of a diversity presentation

honors and sponsorship

so responders from different jurisdictions can work
together to better respond
to emergencies. Annual
drills are a part of this
plan.
"It makes me feel better that something like
this is offered and it is
great that we will be alerted faster in an emergency.
This may cause less panic
and the situation will be
able to be dealt with in a
safer way," said Jennifer
Bryan, junior elementary
education major.
Currently, alerts are
sent via staff and student's e-mails, the university's webpage, radio, television and contacting resident directors and resident assistants in case of
an emergency.
LHU is looking into
alternative faster methods
of reaching students. "We
met
with
recently
President Miller and discussed several options
available to us to reach

students in time of crisis,"
said Paul Alteiri, Director
of LHU Public Safety
Department.
Some of the options
discussed included: voiceover phones with which,
all phones will ring on
campus with an emergency message, digital
clocks with scrolling messages alerting student
with what to do and a
blank web page with a
phone contact number for
emergency information.
With the new e2campus program on campus,
students will be able to
enter their phone number
and their cell phone carrier onto the website. If an
emergency happens, these
students will receive an
immediate message.
"More parents are willing to take the time to
enter this information
than the students are.

Alteiri.

experience in which you
had to exercise such skills.
The best way to do so is by
framing your situation in
a three step process: 1.
Situation or task, 2.
Action, 3.Result or outcome.
The
of
advantage
preparing for a behavioral
interview is that you will
be better prepared even
for a traditional interview.
Employers will always
want detailed and specific
situations.

Java Therapy now under
new ownership
Travis Fedschun
Staff Reporter
tfedschufa lhup.edu
The coffee shop, formerly Java Therapy on
East Main Street in Lock
Haven, is now under new
ownership with a new
name.

The shop is now known
as Caffeine Nation and is
located in its familiar spot
by the LHU trolley stop in
downtown Lock Haven.
The new owners, Jim
and Emily Seaman, 2005
graduates of Slippery
Rock University, became
owners of the shop on Oct.
20. Emily is a native of
Flemington, so the couple
wanted to bring something new to the area.
"What makes us different is that we are a coffee
shop that could choose to
be anywhere, but chooses
Lock Haven," said Jim.
The shop offers plentiful seating areas at couches and tables and also has
wireless internet.
The
most popular
drinks according the owners are mochas, caramel

apple ciders, hot chocolates, and candy bar
lattes.
Java Therapy was
known for the ceiling that
is composed of painted
ceiling tiles. Each tile has
something different painted on it that was done by
members from the community and even some
Lock Haven University
students, but in light of
the new ownership, these
tiles will be sold off in a
charity auction. The proceeds from this auction
will go to the American
Cancer Society.
"We wanted to reinvent
the coffee shop, brighten it
up, and make it feel more
comfortable," said Emily.
On
and
Friday
Saturday evenings there
are open mic nights that
take place where local
artists can come and play
their music in the quiet
setting of the coffee shop.
These take place between
8 p.m. and 10 p.m.
There are also game
nights that take place
Wednesdays when the
shop is open until 10 p.m.
These game nights allow

work requires the prioritization of things. Time
management is one of the
skills employers will seek
for in the fast paced working environment.
Setting goals is another key to success. An athlete sets goals every day.
To achieve the best results
there are goals for each
practice. The same is true
in the working environment. Goals are important
to succeed in your chosen
career, and a goal oriented
person will be a stronger
candidate for a desired
job.

award and topping the latest goal Walsh is looking
ahead to the next drive.
"(The next drive is in)

this is usually a smaller

These people made the evening so much fun and we hope
they will come back next year for this terrific event.
Each person invited to the event was given a character.
They had to show up dressed in character and act in
character. All of these people were hysterical.
Shonah was a punk rocker, she actually went through the
whole evening with fake lip and nose piercings just to stay
in character! Kudos to all of them, such great sports!

Hurry up, don't be late
Jamie MacDonald
Staff Reporter

Class starts at 11:00
am. Not 11:03. Not

11:12.

And certainly not 11:26.
Schedules and class times
are created for a reason.
It is one thing for students to be a minute or
two late to class, but it is
quite another to be a
whopping 15 minutes late.
If you can't already tell, I
am not a fan of people who
are late to class.
I do not understand
how students feel that it is
ok to walk into a class late
and disrupt everything.
And though the tardy student may not think that
they have interrupted
class simply because the
professor does not stop
teaching, it is clear that
they have. All their classmates are now staring at
them as they sneak across
the room and shuffle
between desks to their
seat trying to be as npn-

chalant as possible, while
doing just the opposite.
And it doesn't stop with
students
and classes
either. I had a professor
that was late to class near-

It is not fair to every- spending my night in

Late last week, the
Writer's Guild of America
got a lot of press for their
nationwide
proposed
strike.
The
strike started
early Monday morning,
with writers on both
coasts refusing to write a
word for shows like "The
Late Show with David
Lettermen" or "Ellen."
Shows such as "The
Colbert Report" and "The
Daily Show" will probably
start airing reruns due to
the strike. These shows
are not the only entertainment affected by the strike
though. Picketers have
shown up outside major
studios in Los Angeles and
their East Coast counterparts have set up lines
outside of Rockefeller
Plaza in New York City.
This is the first time in
20 years the WGA has
resorted to striking to get
what they want, as they
feel they are not being
compensated fairly for the
work they perform.
Traditionally, screenwriters have been paid a
set amount for the intellectual property they produce: A certain dollar
amount for contributing to
the script of a show, then
residuals for every rerun

that airs. But now, thanks
to fast Internet access,
people are able to view
shows online. The problem
the writers face is that
they are not getting paid
for their work that is
viewed online.
It would be almost
impossible to find out how
much money the writers
could make if they were
paid for their work that is
viewed online, but you can
be sure it would be an

would be a better option.
One would think that
maybe after one or two
days of being late, the
tardy individuals would
begin to realize that something is wrong. That
maybe they need to get up
earlier or not spend as
much time socializing on
campus, or doing whatever it is that is preventing
them from making it to
class on time.
And what makes it
even worse, is that the
individuals may even be
seen on their way to campus by others in the class,
who were able to make it
there on time. To me, that
clearly indicates that this
individual has nothing
else to blame it on but
themselves.
And with not much else
to say about this, because
I will only begin to repeat
myself, I leave you with
the advice to set your
alarms and leave yourself
reminders,
because
nobody likes a tardy person.

While the writers
might be rich, pampered

We have all heard
actors speak without a
script. It's horrible; no one
wants to listen to Tom
Cruise rave about the miracle of Scientology or hear
Alec Baldwin's thoughts
on the U.S. politics. Actors
are only interesting with
the words of writers in
their mouths. Actors are
paid to look pretty and
writers are paid to think
up witty dialogue, fastpaced plots and love stories.
If billions of dollars of
profit are made from their
intellectual property, then
the writers should be fairly compensated for it.

The holidays are coming closer and
tickets for a bus out of this town are a lot
easier to get then one would think. There
are two places students can purchase bus
tickets, and both offer students discounted prices.
The student bookstore located in the
PUB offers a 10 percent discount for a
student bus ticket for the Susquehanna
Trailways. Rates vary regarding the total
distance traveled.
One-way tickets can be purchased as
well as round-trip offers.
Purchasing a bus ticket is as easy as
ordering a movie ticket at the counter.
Tickets must be purchased at least 24
hours in advance so that the bus is called
for the pickup.
Pickups are located outside of the
bookstore across from the tennis courts
and downtown

not listed on the bookstore list does not
mean they can not be purchased. The
bookstore can usually get them for students when they call. According to manager Jim Kownacki, one or two bus tickets are purchased a day but during the
breaks many tickets are purchased
quickly.
Puffs Discount and Liquor store, 200
Bellefonte Avenue, sells bus tickets as
well. They offer a 15 percent student discount, but only if purchased with a student advantage card. According to clerk
Tina Swope, most of the tickets that are
purchased at Puffs are during Penn State
game weekends. Fullington Trailways
offers a collegiate special for buses to
Penn State.
Fullington Trailways has a variety of
different places and connecting carriers
for many locations throughout eastern

Pickup times vary according to location, and pickup is right outside of the

The Lady Eagles Field

undefeated 7-0 they are
now on a 14-0 winning
streak over the past two
years.
At the start of the
whistle Lock Haven had

control of the ball but
could not seem to bring it
home, and although the
Haven controlled most of
the game, Rider made it
known that they were
there to play an intense
game.
"We came out with a
slow start, however we did
a good job of coming back
hard in the second half,"
said team member Megan
Bullock.
Not giving up, the
Haven outshot Rider 7-1.
Rider, however, broke the
tie of 0-0 about 30 minutes
into play with the first
goal ofthe game.
Less than four minutes
later, LHU answered back
putting the ball in the
cage, tying the score at 11. On a penalty corner,
sophomore Alana Lewis
gave her teammate Megan
Bullock a straight shot
across cage to make for a

"We capitalized when
we needed to," said
Bullock.
After halftime, the
Lady Eagles turned up the
heat with a goal in the
first five minutes. Senior
Blair Wynne made a perfect

Amy
Hordendorf who easily
deflected the ball to the
back of the cage.
Nearly 50 minutes
later Wynne was at it
again scoring the third
and final goal for Lock
Haven, without an assist.
Acquiring five points
during the tournament,
Wynne received the MVP
award for leading Haven
to victory.
The Lady Eagles traveled to California on
Tuesday where they were

the young season.
Six Lady Eagles recorded individual first place
finishes, three picking up
multiple wins.
Senior
Kelly Grieneisen, Junior
Stephanie Kudrick and
Freshman Amanda Terray
each recorded two individual victories.
During a time trail,
Terray recorded a LHU
team and pool record by
finishing the 100 yard
backstroke in 59.43. She
bested the previous record
of 59.46, posted by Tatiana
Patakyova in 2006.
In the first event of the
day, Kudrick and Terray
teamed with Amanda
Palmer and Brittany
Williams to win the 200
yard medley. Grieneisen
followed up with an
impressive win in the 1000
yard freestyle.
"It was the first time
she swam that even in a
few years," said Head
Coach Andrew Waeger of
Grieneisen's performance.
"We were both pleased
with the result."

Terray picked up her
first individual win in the
third event by out-swimming the field by more
than six seconds in the 200
yard freestyle.
Terray
would later post a PSAC
and season best time of
2:12.51 in the 200 yard
backstroke, the second
fastest in team history.
Caroline Sweeney tallied a first place finish in
the next event, swimming
the 50 yard freestyle in a
season
best
26.29.
Kudrick followed with a
dominating performance
in the. 200 yard individual
medley, winning by nearly
five seconds.
"Kudrick swam very
solid," said Waeger. "She
showed that she is quite
versatile in this event."
Palmer and Ashley
Lightcap finished first and
second in the 200 yard
butterfly. Grieneisen and
Sweeney repeated the feat
in the 100 yard freestyle.
After Terray took the
200 yard backstroke,
Shannon Samanka edged
out the field in the 500
yard freestyle.
"Samanka is swimming lights out this season," said Waeger.
Kudrick finished the
individual events with a
win in the 200 yard breaststroke.
Sweeney and
Samanka team with
Ashley
Gardner and
Shannon Wilbur to win
the last event, the 200
yard freestyle relay.
The Lady Eagles are
back in action next week
when they travel to IUP

stopped by Chad Feerrar.
The end of the game
came after a long, hard
fought battle, and at the
103 minute of the game
ESU sent in a kick that
went past both Andrew
Clemens and Feerrar for
the victory. Normally
when a team loses a game
like the one it is hard to
say that it was a good
game, but Coach Moore
kept rather positive.
"We played very well in
the Semi-finals as well as
the finals," said Moore.

to complete and that was

"I would say the team

Another thing that
LHU can look forward to
next season is the return-;

"Of 22 guys on the roster, we will lose five," said
Moore.
With seventeen members coming back, LHU

Next season will also

If I had to compare the organization, poise and overall stability of the
Eagles this season they would be
right on par with a monkey poop

And as an Eagle fan I've tried to
stay clear of pointing the finger, or

labels most Philly fans I find

That's why I've decided to share

Football loses home finale to
Slippery Rock U, 27-11

The Bald Eagles lost
their
tenth straight
game on Thursday, 2711, to Slippery Rock
University in their home
finale.
The Rock netted over
200 yards of rushing as
the Haven defense continued to struggle.

Football
Slippery Rock would
strike first as quarterback Nate Crookshank
found Josh Prigorac for
an early 22-yard first
quarter score, to give
them a 7-0 lead.
The teams would go
back and forth throughout most of the first
quarter until Slippery
Rock turned to their air
game again. Crookshank
found Paul Favers for a
43-yard touchdown to
put them ahead 13-0 at
the end of the first quarter after a failed PAT.

Records are meant to be broken,
t what the record means to the
evious holder is often overlooked.
From Barry Bonds' pursuit and passage of Hank Aaron's homerun
record this summer to Brett Favre's
collection of quarterback records he
notched so far this season.'
Sunday saw another record fall as
rookie phenomenon Adrian Peterson
cut and sprinted his way into history
for the most rushing yards in a single
fame.

The previous record was held by
famal Lewis who ran for 295 yards
in 2003 when he was with the
Baltimore
Ravens.
Peterson
squeaked by the record with one
more yard than Lewis.
Peterson's short career in the NFL
has already been a storied one. Since
he put on the purple jersey in
Minnesota Peterson has been forcing
defenses to take notice. So far this
season he already has 1,036 yards,
the most yards ever in a player's first
eight games.
All Day, has Peterson has come to
called is establishing himself as a
iss back. His charge into therecord
oks certainly means something to
n, but four years ago Lewis was
pturing the same milestone.
On Monday Ravens' Head Coach
rian Billick appeared on the "Mike
d Mike in the Morning" show on
PN2. The hosts of the show asked
lick his reaction to the record of
i former player being broken.
Billick was polite and his answer
is at first stereotypical. Billick conatulated the rookie and mentioned
>w impressive Peterson is.
Then Billick began to reminisce
out the day Lewis captured the
x>rd. He recalled how the team rald around their back and how the

The second quarter
would prove to be a
defensive one as neither
team could get much of
anything
going. The
Rock took advantage of
the tired Haven defense
as they found themselves
driving with less than
five minutes.
A 13 play, 90-yard
drive found Crookshank
with another passing
touchdown, this time to
Frank
Cremonese.
Slippery Rock would go
into the locker room with
a 20-0 lead and would
never look back.
The Haven would
receive the ball after the
half as Kyle Crane
returned the ball 78
yards to the 18-yard line
of SRU. The Bald Eagles
offense continued
to
struggle, as they had to
for
settle
a
Mark
Domonkos field goal, 39
yards, to cut the lead to
20-3.
Slippery Rock would
get their final score via
their
back
running
Damarcas Cleckley for a

score on a drive that ate
up five minutes of clock
and took up 59 yards.
The Rock would now lead

27-3.
The teams would go
back and forth again for
the rest of the game until
the Haven showed a
spark with under a
minute left in the game.
Freshman
running
back Ibrahim Smith
found the end zone for a
nine-yard score. The
conversion
two-point
would be a success as the
Haven cut the lead to 2711. An onside kick
wouldn't work out for the
Bald Eagles, as they
would fall by 16.
LHU
quarterbacks
Ilio DePaolo and Tyler
Golden would combine to
go 13 of 24 for 104 yards
and an interception.
Leading the Haven
attack
rushing
was
Ibrahim Smith as he
handled the ball 12
times for 71 yards and a
TD.

effort as he neared the record.
Billick even told listeners
proud they were when NFL repr
tatives collected Lewis' jersey
the game to place in the Pro Fch
Hall of Fame.
There is no doubt that Lewis w
overjoyed to achieve such a great fe
and that his teammates were able
bask in the excitement; but wh
now?
Every time a big record top
the debate over how the person
previously held the record is i
posed to react resurfaces.
In public the reaction always follows along the lines of Billick's statement; the new record holder is great
and he deserves it.
In private though, the feeling
must be at least be bittersweet.
A record is never going to be stay
in one players hands forever, that's a
given, but it has to be upsetting
see memories, glory and greatness an
fall to another athlete.
A great example of private feelings is the aforementioned Barry
Bonds and Hank Aaron. In public
Aaron tried to avoid any comments
that would offend Bonds as he chased
Aaron's hallowed homerun record.
At the same time Aaron passed on
the chance to travel with the Giants
so he could be on hand to pass the
crown.

Certainly, it was more difficult for
Aaron because of the racial and
social impact that him breaking Babe
Ruth's record had on the country. It
must have been tough for Hammerin'
Hank to watch the record that meant
so much to him and his team to be
passed by Bonds who is still buried
up to his neck in steroid allegations,
A look back at a record's previous
holder can show how important that
mark is after it has changed ha

A Broken Record

and Reggie Brown are awesome,
is until they match up against s
down corners.
Any team with a half decent s<
ondary can eliminate the pass gai
completely from the Eagles rep<
toire. Both Curtis and Brown ha
proven they can catch and run wi
the best of them, but it's their lack ot
ability to break free of press coverage
that has hurt the Eagles passing
game the most this year.
Catching and running don't mean
a thing if you cant get to that point in
the first place. And thus far the
Eagles have proven that more often
than not their receivers just
match up.
2. Dona van McNabb Something
just isn't the same anymore,
tried so hard to be faithful
McNabb, but it's clear that there
been a falling out between the
the fans, the media, and himself.
After his latest injury, the confidence that McNabb usually carries
seems to have disappeared, There
used to be a time when McNabb
would be seen smiling through
facemask during a game, and
how that gave the Eagles nation a
certain sense of security that everything was going to be alright, When
is the last time you have seen him
smile?
His numbers have been dwindling, while his ability to scramble
has taken a severe blow. I would
never think of sitting McNabb in
place of Kolb, but something tells me
that day will be coming sooner or
later. And depending on the outcome
of the rest of this season, McNabb
will not be in an Eagles jersey next

As the baseball offseason starts to
into full swing, the A-Rod sweepakes is going to be the biggest offlason rumor mill. So far 10 teams
ive been listed as Alex Rodriguez's
sely destination. At the top of the
5t will most likely be one of the Los
ngeles teams or the Mets. But I am
?re to tell you differently.
According to yahoo.com the Toledo
ud Hens, a Triple-A affiliate of the
etroit Tigers, have made an offer to
■Rod. This was sparked off of the
mment by Hank Steinbrenner last
;t

Hank said, "Does he want to go in
b Hall of Fame as a Yankee or, a
ledo Mud Hen?"
I couldn't find the amount of
incentive loaded. A-Rod would
for hitting 75 homeruns
t
the season. He would also get a
nus for leading the Mud Hens to 10
•aight
International League
lampionships. But there is one
)blem; A-Rod would have to comte with current Mud Hen third
is

a bonus

Mike Hessman.
Hessman hit .254 with 31 homeseman

the league's most valuable player
last year and is a staple at the third
base for the Mud Hens. In the Major
Leagues, Hessman is a career .235
hitter with four homeruns and 12
RBIs. He has appeared in only 65
games and he was drafted in 1996.
A-Rod has to ask himself is he better than Hessman? The Mud Hens
don't think so. In the letter to Scott
Boras, Alex's agent, he was asked
A-Rod could change his position,
Also with the letter was a Hall of
Fame plaque that had A-Rod wearing a Mud Hens hat. Apparently
they want him to go into the Hall of
Fame as a Mud Hen too.
Most likely A-Rod will stay away
from the Mud Hens because if he
couldn't handle the pressure of playing in New York, how is he going to
handle the pressure of competing
with Mike Hessman. A-Rod will go
to one of those top teams I mentioned
before where he can play third base
and boss people around on his way to
breaking Barry Bond's record.
Wherever he goes, a couple things
are certain. He is going to'hit over 50
homeruns and drive in over 100
RBIs. But there is one problem; he
can't win the big one.

Campus 'pinks out' to fundraise for cancer
Nicole Pinto
Staff Reporter

Today throughout the
campus both boys and
are
girls
definitely
"Pinking Out."
Both sexes are proudly
wearing dark-colored hot
pink t-shirts with phrases
like, "because it affects
men too" and "fighting
until there is a cure."
The reason for this popular parade of pink is all
thanks to Zeta Tau Alpha.
This organization has
been raising money at
Lock Haven for their philanthropy, breast cancer,
ever since they were
founded in 1968.
This week kicked off
Big Man on Campus
(BMOC), a three day event
that was started last year,
and back again after a successful run ofraising over
$1,100.
Courtney Faust, Zeta

Tau Alpha said, "It's
important for us to have
another successful year."
Organizations sign up
their "Big Man," by donating money.
The men compete to
win one fourth of the
money
raised
during
BMOC.

Thanksgiving

dinner

may be viewed as the most

important meal of the
year.
If you are planning on
staying in the Haven, you
will have memories you
will never forget.
Planning is the most
crucial step while creating
your perfect meal especially if you know that you
will be cooking for a minimal number of people.
If you wait until the
last minute, it will be hard
for you to come up with a
meal that will be enjoyable.
So the key is to make
sure that you know in
advance what you want to
cook.
After you have invited
your friends, find out what
they typically have for
their Thanksgiving dinners.
When you ask them
what dishes they incorporate
within
their
Thanksgiving meals at
home, your guest will feel
like you care about their
traditions and will appreciate your meal much
more.

Adriana Osorio Lugo,
18, came to Lock Haven
from Caracas, Venezuela,
in October 2006 to learn
English as a foreign language in hopes of making
her dream to become a

I interviewed Adriana

First of all, I wanted to

other than just study all

Also, to meet new people. You learn about different people, and they learn
about you.

So, what do you perceive as the biggest difference between your
culture and the culture
of the U.S.?

I think it is people. In
Venezuela, we are closer
to each other. We kiss
each other to say 'hello' or
'goodbye.'
We don't just say, 'see

Saturday, Nov. 3 during
their powerful performance.
Despite their size of
about 51 members, the
band projected their sound
as if they were much larger.
Their energetic and
upbeat
performance
delighted the audience
and was complemented by
the Haven Guards, who
alternately waved flags,
danced and spun toy
swords or guns.
Douglas Richard, who
wrote the music for the
show, chose a theme loosely based on the music of
Elton John.
According to conductor
Jack R. Schmidt, Richard
chose to celebrate John's
60th birthday by displaying four of his songs
throughout the performance.
While Schmidt was
unable to choose a favorite
song from the performance, he said that most
band members seem to
love playing "Carry On
Wayward Son," which he
said has been on the rotation since 1996.
The band projected
energy from the beginning
of the show, when they
played the Star-Spangled
Banner.
Schmidt then said,
"Ladies and gentlemen,
it's show time and the
Bald Eagles are about to
take the field" as the band
launched into an energetic
performance of "Flying
High."
Next was "The Hey
Song," which was also full
of energy. The vocal parts
were sung loudly and
enthusiastically.

Then

Breaking My Heart," was
played.

for the music by their
dancing and eager smiles.
Dave Cantwell, senior,
had the job of shouting
'Tequila!" throughout the
song and did so with a
huge grin on his face each
time.
After the performance
of the Elton John song,
"Still Standing," Schmidt
took a few minutes to tell
the audience about a trip
to Ireland that the band
will be taking in March
2008.
The band will be playing a concert at St.
Patrick's Cathedral and
marching in the St.
Patrick's Day parade.

He said that everybody
