Members ofthe old and new
S.C.C. administrations visited
Harrisburg last Wednesday with
the intent of talking to
Pennsylvania representatives and
senators about the risk of rising
state school tuition.
The trip was hailed a success
by those that attended because it
was students and not lobbyists
that went, which added a "personal touch", said S.C.C. presidentelect Jason Hackney.
Rick Harvey, current S.C.C.
president, saw this day as one that
was long in the waiting.
"Working with advocacy was

An LHU artist took home the
$100 prize at the 12th annual

spring student symposium,
Friday.
The symposium is a public
forum for students from every
discipline to present their independent research, special projects and creative works.
Senior John Fudrow was one
of 11 presenters and the recipient of thc first place award.
Fudrow's presentation included
an expository statement to
accompany an original piece of

childhood and special education,
geology, physics and English.
"I know that there is an
influx ofthc arts now in this area
and I'm glad I can represent as
well and hopefully inspire some
other artistic endeavors on this
campus and keep people motivated about the arts," said
Fudrow.

Senior Angela Sincavage of

in second place for her presentation titled; Synthesis of Gold

Due to inflation in the economy, tuition costs are expected
to rise 3 to 4% every year.
However, without thc proper
funding, the increase could rise
to the double digits, in which
case a difference in price would
be noticeable. The full amount
of funding that could be available for state schools is 7%. but
the chance of Pennsylvania congress passing thc entire proposed funding is unlikely.
"If we can get close to 5%.
that will keep us away from
double digits." Wozinak said.
But, the senator warned that
the budgeting process will be
one racked with tough decisions. Healthcare is guiding
many of the issues, and funds

Sarah Jordan came to Lock
Haven University on Thursday
April 14, 2005 to present a lecture on the growing controversy
over religious freedom in high
schools and universities.
A representative of the
Center for Free Inquiry (CFI) of
Amherst, N.Y., Jordan discussed
religion's properrole in the education system by bringing forth
such contentious issues as the
intelligent design movement and
prayer in schools. The CFI is a
center in which scientists,
philosophers, media professionals, students and the general
public can obtain information
regarding religion, ethics and
thc society, among other things.
Jordan began by saying how
the classic liberal arts curriculum is being threatened by religious groups and organizations
that wish to incorporate religion
into schools by introducing
alternate learning programs such
as touch healing in medical
schools.
The fact that people today
are overly concerned with the
moral views of others also tends
to fuel the fire behind trying to
enforce more religiously based
curriculums in school systems.
The Christian fundamentalist
minority has been exercising its
growing power by stating its
belief that the source of the
country's problem lie in secularized schools and governments.
Jordan then went on to
explain that these same
Christian fundamentalists are
arguing that another source for
the country's problems is the
basic idea of secular humanism.
"Secular humanism is an
ethical belief system... and it is
an inherently atheistic one."
Jordan said when explaining the
philosophy.
Secular humanism is essentially the view that there is no itage or traditions on public

lent crimes against homosexuals on campus, but
harassment is prevalent, although not often reported.
"I've been yelled at a few times/' said Casey
Wherley testifying to being harassed by passerbys in cars on more than one occasion.
Vandalism, such as certain words in the
Bentley restrooms, have been scratched out by
administration. However this took awhile for any
action to be taken and the words are still discernable. Wherley has noticed that when it comes to
addressing the homosexual community, people
tend to shy away from the subject.
Homosexual and bisexual men on campus
have had a more difficult time coping with harassment, according the GSA. One student was forced
to move off campus to escape the continuous
phone messages of harassment that plagued him.
The GSA does not see a need for such worries
on a college campus. Before their founding in
1991, the organization existed underground. Its
purpose is to "educate people and provide a support group for homosexuals, transsexuals and
bisexuals" according to Smart. The members of
GSA acknowledge the intimidation that many feel
when approaching them, but they assure that there
is no need. Beth Baker wanted to assure students
that as long as they are making the effort to learn
about different types of sexuality, there is no need
to be anxious.
"I think a lot of people...don't like to be
approached because they're insecure," Baker said.
"But," she added, "it rs better to be educated."
And the GSA is eager to do just that. The
organization meets every Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the
PUB Lobby.
"Don't be scared," Smart said. The more students attempt to learn about people different than
themselves, the safer Lock Haven will be for
everyone.
The Day of Silence spoke loudly for those who
never were able to. Perhaps one day. there will no
longer be the need for such a protest.

Julia F. Heming
Michigan Daily
The debate over emergency
contraception, also known as the
morning after pill, has intensified lately as supporters of the
drug are lobbying for it to obtain
over-the-counter status. The discussion has prompted both
moral and medical debates over
the use of thc oral contraceptive
that must be taken within 72
hours of unprotected sex.
Nisha Gulati, a, spokeswoman for the Feminist
said
Majority Foundation,
American women would greatly
benefit from increased access to
emergency
contraception
because it would decrease the
number of unintended pregnancies. The FMF has been campaigning for over-the-counter
availability of emergency contraception since the Food and
Drug Administration approved
the drug for prescription use in
1999.
"Emergency contraception is
available without a doctor's prescription in 26 countries this is
exactly what we're going for
here." Gulati said. She cited the
availability of emergency contraception in France, which she

ceremony on Saturday, May 7
at 10:30 a.m. at the Hubert
Jack Stadium.
Dr. Cora B. Marrett, senior
vice president for Academic
Affairs at the University of
Wisconsin System will give
the keynote address.
Dr. Marrett assumed the
position of senior vice president for Academic Affairs at
the University of Wisconsin
System in 2001, after serving
for four years as vice chancellor for Academic Affairs and

B to women who have had
unprotected sex. She said she
supports thc movement for overthe-counter status.
"There's a time sensitivity
having it available over the
counter will really decrease the
number of unintended pregnancies and therefore decrease the
number ofabortions that are performed," she said. Plan B has
been shown to reduce the
chances of pregnancy by 89 percent if taken in thc first 72 hours
after intercourse. Hochman said.
Gulati said emergency contraception has the potential to
prevent 800,000 unwanted pregnancies each year.
But others said they feel that
changing the status of Plan B
would have negative consequences for public health. An
article on the website of
Concerned Women for America,
a national conservative women's
organization, states that the
change to over-the-counter status is not reasonable because of
thc lack ofresearch on the longterm effects and the effects of
repeated usage.
Hochman said if a woman
takes emergency contraception
more than once in her menstrual
cycle, she may experience a

-

problem with her next cycle —
including heavier menstruation
or irregular periods. She encouraged women to use nonemergency contraception to minimize
the need for Plan B.
Hochman added that she
would not advise women to use
Plan B as their only method of
birth control, even if it were
of using emergency contraceptive pills (would discourage
them)." she said. "It's expensive
in comparison to what you'd pay
if you got on some form of birth
control."
One dose of Plan B costs
around $20 without insurance,
while one month ofan inexpensive oral contraceptive costs
around $30 without insurance.
The article from Concerned
Women for America also cited
an increase in sexually transmitted diseases in countries where
emergency contraception is
widely available. The number of

result of abstinence-only sex
education, not increased access
to Plan B. "With a comprehensive sex education program, the
ways to prevent pregnancy
would be taught along with barrier contraceptive methods." she
said. "It's important to educate
people on both."
There is no definite date for
the decision on
status for Plan B. President
Bush's nominee for new FDA
commissioner, Lester Crawford,
was denied confirmation by
Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-NY)
and Patty Murray (D-Wash.)
because Crawford would not
provide a date for thc Plan B
decision. Thc Senate can overrule this block of a confirmation
with a 60-vote majority.
The FMF and its 166 affiliated groups are collecting petitions to influence the FDA's
decision.
Crystal Lander, the director
of the FMF's Choices Campus
Leadership Program, stressed
the importance ofthe campaign.
"It's absolutely essential

said has the lowest number of
unintended pregnancies in the
world.
Junior Ashwini Hardikar. a
member of Students for Choice,
said emergency contraception
should be readily available for
women. "In the case of a rape
victim, it's so important to have
the morning after pill," she said.
"At least the rape victim won't
have to go through thc extra pain
of unwanted pregnancy."
In May 2004, thc FDA
rejected thc application for overthe-counter status for Plan B, a
specific brand of emergency
contraception. While the FMF
said this decision showed the
power of "anti-choice congressional pressure" on the FDA, thc
FDA said the decision was a
result of inadequate information
on the effect of thc drug on
women under thc age of 16.
Plan B was resubmitted in
July 2004 with a new clause that
for
prescriptions
required
women under the age of 16 and
over-the-counter
provided
access for older women. The
FDA has yet to make a decision
on thc proposal.

"The Red Cross depends on
the University's blood drives,"
said Walsh. "We have the biggest
in the area and usually make our
goal."
Some guidelines you want to
follow when donating blood are
as followed: Make sure you are
at least 17 years of age. Make
sure you weigh more than 110 lbs
if you plan to donate. ,If yoy jiave
received a tattoo within the last
twelve months you cannot
donate. In addition, if you are an
active donor you must wait 56
days in between donations. If you
have any questions in regard to
your eligibility as a donor please
call the blood center at 800-4328045.
If you plan to donate the Red
Cross recommends drinking
plenty offluids a few days before
donating. The day you plan to
donate make sure to eat a healthy
breakfast and lunch if you have
thc time. In addition, after donating be sure to stay properly
hydrated.
"It saves lives," said Walsh.
"Even money cannot take the
place of blood. If there is no
blood in the bank and you have
all the money in the world, they
cannot put the money through
your veins, only blood replaces
blood!"
Not only can you donate
blood tomorrow but you will also
have the opportunity to sign up
for the bone marrow registry
drive that will be held next week.
"We will be signing people up
for the marrow registry during the
blood drive, you can do both,"
said Walsh. "It is very important
thatpeople know they can donate
blood and get tested for the
National Marrow Registry."
If you cannot donate blood
and would still like to participate
in the bone marrow drive you can
do so by contacting Walsh at
wwalsh@lhup.edu. In thc email
be sure to include your name,
telephone number, and times that
you are free on Tuesday the 26th.

You get what you voted for
■i

Some of you students may not have known it but we had an election here on campus. This
election was for the President, Vice President and Treasurer ofthe Student Cooperative Council.
My running mate and I ran a clean and dignified campaign. We listened to problems that students had and we offered solutions as to how to fix them. Parking, safety, Bentley, the concert,
you name it and we did research, talked to people and came up with answers. We lost. We lost
to a good PR campaign, but also to bribes, campaign paraphernalia at the polling places, back
door job promotions, ballot workers telling people who to vote for, empty promises, intimidation
it the polling places and a lot of questionable practices all around. I guess that is politics in the
new millennium.
v}(
Well my running mate and I are not politicians; we spoke with honesty and confidence, the
way that it should be. That does not bother me though. The thing that bothers me about the
whole election is that I never once heard what the new executive board plans on doing to help the
students. Never once, what they plan on doing to mobilize against tuition increases. What they
plan on doing to make the students, especially the females on campus, feel safer. Ideas for how
can we start making Lock Haven University a proud tradition of excellence. Never heard it.
People I talked to, even some people who voted for them did not hear it either, but hey they got
buttons and t-shirts. We lost by almost 200 votes, I would like to think that 200 more people liked
their ideas better than they liked ours but 1 know that is not the case. I predict that nothing significant will be done by the new executive board. They will cater to and be intimidated by the
administration but that can change people. The elected officials work for you! Hold them
accountable and make sure they take you, the student body seriously. You have a voice, make it
loud, make it unified and make it be heard. If not, then you get what you deserve.

Student praises Evergreen Commons
Dear
I am writing in response to the letter about student housing that was posted in last week's Eagle
Eye. I have lived at Evergreen Commons for one semester and unlike the author of last week's letter, all I have is praise.
Any problems that may arise have been quickly taken care of by the CAs or by the CM. When
my toilet was clogged and when my shower leaked 1 had maintenance come and fix the problem
that very day.
Sure there are problems, but even the dorms aren't perfect. You can easily point the finger at
Evergreen Commons and say that it's loud and the living is terrible (even though 1 don't know anyone who would be upset with having their own washer and dryer, bathroom, kitchen and bedroom). Compared to the dorms, this is luxury, and sadly you can't please everyone. There will
always be those few people that complain when things don't go their way. But if you want to start
nit-picking and say the CAs and maintenance workers don't do their job then be sure you look at
the dorms and off campus housing too. There have been incidences in the dorms of illegal gambling, drinking and lets not forget drugs too. I have seen RAs drinking with theirresidents in the
dorm, and I have heard of students who complained that their RDs don't help them or listen to
them.
The first semester for Evergreen Commons was a tough one, the manager had to make sure the
correct staff was chosen, that students were happy, and some problems did arise. In case some people didn't notice, those problems have been fixed. New CAs were hired, more programs are run
and it seems that the majority of the student body here is happy.
There will always be that kid that complains in class, that student that hates the dorms and now
the student that hates the Commons. You can't please everyone but you can be sure that the staff
here is trying.
I would not like to live anywhere but Evergreen Commons, 1 am more than happy here. Like
they say about the spring concert "if you don't like it, then don't go." So if you don't like the
Commons then don't live here, and please don't try to spoil it for the rest of us.

Staff member questions integrity of University
Dear Editor,
Is the Admissions Office intentionally lying to transfer students? It is with great reluctance
that I write this letter, but I feel someone needs to stand up and say something. I believe the
Admissions Office has crossed an ethical line which leaves the integrity of that office open to
question in my mind and in the minds of some students. The issue is so fundamental to me that 1
feel compelled to share my thoughts about a letter I came across by chance earlier this year.
Please note that it is an acceptance letter to a transfer student to Lock Haven University.
In the body of the acceptance letter in bold print is a statement saying that Evergreen
Commons is a University owned apartment complex. It then goes on to extol the virtues of
Evergreen Commons and the envelope containing the letter is then stuffed with Evergreen
Commons sales literature. Now remember this is an official, formal acceptance letter from the
Lock Haven University Admissions Office from a staff that knows Evergreen Commons is not
university owned.
After seeing this letter I asked several questions very professionally and privately of everyone
in the chain of command of the Admissions Office up to the president. They were, who wrote this
letter, who approved this letter, and how long has it been going out to prospective students?
The only answers I got back were quite interesting. They were, the writer ofthe letter was mistaken and they couldn't answer my questions because Evergreen Commons is under a grievance
by the SCUPA union.
I will publicly and unequivocally state here and now that 1 am a member of SCUPA and we do
have a grievance filed against the university regarding Evergreen Commons. That being said
SCUPA has not filed any grievance against the Admissions Department because none of us in our
wildest dreams would have believed that the Admissions Department would compromise its
integrity simply to fill up an overpriced, over hyped outsourced apartment complex.
! But let's get back to the real issue.
First, I know the writer of record of the letter and he is and was well aware that Evergreen
Commons isn't and wasn't university owned. And secondly, the integrity ofthe Admissions Office
is everybody's business and not just SCUPA's. I would sincerely urge every faculty member, every
student, every staffmember, and anyone who values the integrity of our university to ask the very
same questions I asked and to demand straight and unambiguous answers as to how this could
have happened. I can't imagine that any of you have filed a grievance that would prevent them
from giving you the legitimate answers you seek.
What happened at the Admissions Office in my opinion is absolutely unconscionable and the
managers and senior level administrators ofthe Admissions Office and above should be ashamed
to have crossed that line. Unfortunately, they seem to be making the situation worse by not standing up and dealing with what happened. When the Admissions Office intentionally and purposefully lies to incoming students, it calls into question the character, ethics, and integrity of the
entire university. Everybody should be upset with that-not the least of which is the transfer students who were lied to. How are students to believe anything we say if we callously lie to them
even before they arrive over something as inconsequential as an apartment? That is the real issuenot whether a grievance has been filed. And trying to hide behind the spurious claim that a grievance negates their responsibility to correct this has outraged me enough to make this a very public issue. When filling a foundation owned apartment complex becomes more important than the
principles we espouse as a university community, well that is something no grievance could ever
fix. Please, if you care about what Lock Haven University stands for, go ask the same three questions I did and get some answers. And then let's get our values back.

known as Earth Day and is
held each year on April
22nd. Earth Day turns 35
years old this year and Lock
Haven University will celebrate this Saturday, April
23rd.
The celebration is sponsored and organized by the
university's biology club.
"We put most of our semes-

this event to make it a fun
and successful one," said
Celeste Crissman, biology
club president. "It also gives
children and adults from the
community a chance to get a
close up look at some of our
clubs and what we are
doing."
People who attend can
expect to see two bands. Bad
Habit and Lumpy Gravy. In
addition to the live music,
many vendors from local
organizations will also be
present with information
about their organizations.
On- campus clubs will also
be helping to celebrate Earth
Day with information and
activities about their clubs.

craft tables will be set-up for
children, as well as a presentation with live animals.
Food will be available and a
raffle will be held.
"It will be a good time for
all who come and it is also
important to remember that
we are doing this to celebrate
Earth Day," said Crissman.
"We must protect and cherish
every living thing on our
planet."
According to Crissman
this event is a major
fundraiser for the biology
club. The celebration will be
held on Russell Lawn from
11-4 p.m. on April 23rd. In
case of inclement weather,
the Earth Day celebration
will be moved to the university's
East
Campus
Gymnasium.
"If it wasn't for the living
things on this Earth, we
would not be able to survive," said Crissman. "We
need to preserve our habitat
for future generations."

If you are interested in
learning about the exciting
new field of nanotechnology,
the students at Lock Haven
University invite you to join
them for two presentations on
the subject. In these presentations, the students will articulate just what nanotechnology
is by giving various examples
from diverse fields. The presentations are free and open to

LHU alumna makes the NBA her home
Brandie Kessler

—

BK: How did you find out about thc job at the NBA. and what
prompted you to go for it?
JP: Actually, the NBA contacted me. About a year ago. I put
my resume on monster.com. One day, I got a call saying that they
had a position open that was only temporary, but had potential to
become permanent depending on how well 1 did. At first 1 wasn't
sure if 1 was going to take it because economically it wasn't very
appealing because I would have to quit the job I currently had for a
job that paid slightly less. Then 1 realized that I would be crazy to
pass it up because I'd get great experience learning about the sports
entertainment industry, even if they never gave me a permanent
position. Until I actually went to the interview, and saw that it was
for real, I thought someone was playing this big joke on me. A few
days later. 1 was offered the position. So, within 2 weeks, I quit my
job,found an apartment, and moved.
BK: Can you give a description of the responsibilities that your
jobposition entails?
JP: When I started I was called a project employee, which
meant 1 did a lot of the stuff that no one else wants to do, like deal
with fans. Although it was frustrating at times. I think it is a great
place for a new employee to start. It showed me just how big the
NBA is, and how everything we do here is put under a microscope
by so many different people, not just fans. Aside from doing Fan
Relations, I also got to help out with different projects in the
Internal Communications Department and 1 was able to write some
things for nba.com and the NBA newsletter.
My project term was supposed to end December 31, 2004, but
they decided to keep mc on as a department assistant to the Senior
Vice President of Communications. This job consists mainly of
keeping track of when the league is releasing certain information to
the media, like marketing partnerships, promotional events, or
announcements like League MVP and things like that. Also, this job
is giving me a chance to see each individual department and learn
what each consists of, such as Public Relations, Basketball
Operations, Community Relations and Communications Planning.
BK: What are some of the most interesting experiences you've
had while working at the NBA?
JP: Meeting players and celebrities in general is one of the fun
parts of this job. One day 1 went up to our cafe and Scottie Pippen
was sitting there having breakfast. To people who have worked here
for a while, that type of thing is normal, but for me, 1 couldn't
believe it.
Yao Ming was the first player I ever met; he was really nice. We
usually meet players because they come to the NBA Store to do
interviews for NBA-TV. Through those events I also met Charles
Barkley and Emeka Okafor and commentators Andre Aldridge,
Stephen A. Smith, and Marv Albert, who were all very interesting.
There are people here who are on a first name basis with P. Diddy
and Jay-Z. For the first night of the season, Jay-Z gave us a VIP
room at his club 40/40 to watch the games and the election. It was
the first time that I ever went out in NYC, so it was a little overwhelming to go there. Halfway through the night, Shaq walked in
to hang out with some of the people I work with.
BK: What type of education, big schools or small schools, do
most of the people you work with have, and how do you feel that
you benefited from your "small-school" education and experiences
at LHU?
JP: It was really funny when I started working here and people
asked me where 1 went to school because no one had ever heard of
Lock Haven before. They didn't even have the slightest idea what
state it was in. Everyone here went to schools like UNC, UCLA,
Notre Dame, Duke, Syracuse and Penn State; the person who went
to Penn State didn't even know where Lock Haven was.
I know some people argue that thc education is better at bigger
schools, but I think that each school has its ownadvantages and disadvantages, and regardless of where you go to college, the things
you learn in the classroom are only a part of what you do in a real
job setting. I think that going to a smaller school was much better
for me as opposed to a bigger school. It's the advantage of having
the smaller class-size and actually being someone to your professors as opposed to being a random student that your professor doesn't even recognize.
However, I do think that the setting ofa big school would have
prepared me more for this job. Going from Lock Haven to NYC is
like night and day, but that was an adjustment that didn't take long
to make. The transition from college to working was the hardest
change. It's one thing to get up for an 8:00 a.m. class and go home
for a nap afterwards, but it's another thing to be at work at 8:00 a.m.

Editor, takes it all in stride working for the NBA.

and work for 8-10 hours. The amount of discipline I have to have is
so different from where I was a year ago. I can't skip work the way
I could have skipped a class or 1 wouldn't have lasted a month here.
1 also live by myself, and at Lock Haven I lived with my four best
friends, so that is another thing that has taken some getting used
too.
BK: What advice would you give to someone who wants to
have a job similar to yours working for the NBA?
JP: I think the most important thing is to have some sort ofreal
experience on your resume. Your resume is what will get you the
interview, but your personality and attitude weigh in the most when
you interview for the job. My boss told me that they liked me better than the other candidates because 1 wasn't arrogant and I showed
a willingness to learn. It's an attribute that makes a lot of employers
interested in people who are just out of school, because it gives
them the chance to make you the employee that they want or need
you to be.
Also, you can't be afraid to go after a job that you think you
won't get, just because you didn't go to a big-name school. I'm very
lucky because my parents always made me feel like 1 was good
enough for any job and when this opportunity came along, they
never let me think for one second that I didn't deserve it.
BK: Who or what has played the biggest role in helping you
make the transition from college to the work force?
JP: Well, I've been really lucky to have always been surrounded by really good people. My family and friends have always been
really supportive of me and everything I've wanted to do. Living on
my own hasn't been easy, but whenever things have been tough, I
know that there are a handful ofpeople who will always be there to
keep me going forward and that's something that's always reassuring to know.
I'm the youngest in my family and my brother and sister are very
successful people, but my parents never made me feel like 1 had
something to live up to. I think that played a big part in everything
because I never felt pressured to do anything, they've always just let
me make my own decisions and encouraged me along the way. I'd
say the best part about this whole thing was seeing how excited my
parents were when I told them that I got the job. They have always
worked really hard to make sure that my brother, sister, and I had
everything we needed to be successful and they have always supported me in whatever I wanted to do. It was nice to see them as
excited as they were because it felt like I was finally giving something back to them.
BK: What direction do you want your career to take in the
future?
JP: I'm not 100 percent sure where 1 would like to go in this
field. There are so many things integrated into it that 1 had no idea
about before I started working for the NBA.
I think I want to eventually switch to the team side. Working for
the league, I do feel that I am a part of the league as a whole; I just
think I would enjoy it more if 1 worked more closely with a team
and was able to contribute to their goals and success as an individual organization.
Also, I think I might want to eventually go into Community
Relations because they are the ones who are responsible for getting
the athletes involved in different kinds ofcharities. Helping others
is always something that I've wanted to do.
Either way, I plan on staying with the NBA and making a career
for myself here.

Five earn NCAA provisionals
as Cowan sets school record
Brandy Rissmiller
Sports Reporter
After Jim Dempsey became
the first member of Lock
Haven's Track and Field team to
earn a NCAA provisional qualifying mark he predicted that his
teammates would join him on
the list after the next meet. Five
of his teammates proved him
right at the Bucknell Distance
Carnival at Bucknell University
April 15-16.

Senior Chris Cowan not
only received a NCAA provisional qualifying mark in thc
5000 meters, but also earned the
school record. Cowan placed
third with a time of 14:26.08.
"1 am very happy with the
time that I ran. It feels good to
have eclipsed my school record
and my personal record by over
five seconds!" said Cowan. He
added that it was important for
him to get in a good position on
the National list so there will be
less pressure on him in the
upcoming Penn Relays.
Sophomores Ryan Blood
and Aaron Benson also received
NCAA provisional qualifying
marks in the 5000. Blood had a
time of 14:41.33 and Benson
finished right behind Blood
(14:41.34).

Juniors
William
Buckenmeyer and Fieldon
Daubert were the remaining
members ofthe squad to receive
NCAA provisional qualifying
marks.
Buckenmeyer's time of
9:23.1 in the steeplechase also
earned him third place. Daubert

placed fourth in the javelin
(195-7). Dempsey, the defending Eastern College Athletic
Conference Field Athlete of the
Week, placed first in the high
jump (6-9).
The women had an
impressive meet, as well. Two
school records were broken and
two first-place finishes were
awarded. Sophomore Holly
Bofinger broke the school
record in the 10000 with a time
of 38:02.63. The 4 X 800 relay
squad ofKathleen Davey, Nikki
Rhian, Brittany Turner and
Missy Weaver earned third
place with their school record
setting time of 9:45.59.
Freshman Angela Kramer
won the pole vault (11-3 3/4)
and sophomore Maggie Borden
claimed first in the 400 (57.47).
Borden was a member of the 4
X 100 relay that placed second
with a time of 48.55. Joining
Borden was Ashley Hartman.
Kirsten Schuyler and Laura
Phillips.
Head Coach Mark Elliston
said the meet went very well and
several athletes had great
performances. "As we are
getting to the close ofthe season
it is important for the team to
remain focused," said Elliston.
He added that he hopes the athletes who have the potential to
get themselves to an NCAA
qualifying mark will give it all
they have at the remaining
meets.
Next for the team is the
Bucknell Five-Way. "Even
though the season is wrapping
up, it gets even more exciting to
see what will happen next,"
stated Coach Elliston. The meet
will be held on April 23.

It is time for the Draft! The NFL Draft is arguably the best draft out of all
the professional sports. Seven rounds over 200 college players scouted,
taken. Young players sec what football really is. They get to go and sec
what dreams are really made of. This is the opportunity that most of them
have been wailing for their whole lives and their day will come on Saturday
or Sunday. The 49ers get the first pick as of right now but they may trade it
away. If they keep it they will choose one of three players, Alex Smith of
Utah, Braylon Edwards of Michigan, or Aaron Rodgcrs of Cal. This decision
will be tough but this year's draft has a lot of quality players coming out. It
will be a great thing to see because I will watch all seven rounds on both days
I will have to study later.
Baseball season is well underway and the Yankees are playing terrible. I
am a fan but I am also a journalist and I have to write the facts. They can not
pull things together right now. They look like this is still spring training to
them. But not so fast, we arc talking about the Yanks. I know that they arc
not playing to their potential but give it some time. Yank's fans are diehardthey are not band wagon jumpers and they will finally pull it together1and I
hope the Red Sox lead is big then or they will finish second in thc AL Fast for
the 5th straight year.
This weekend is a big weekend for our football program as we get to see
our "NEW" team. All of the older, graduated players come back and we get
to talk about memories of what we were. For some of us this is almost as fun
as playing the game. Everybody that will read this article please come out
and support the team at the Annual Alumni game. Make signs it won't last
long, but the memories might.
Don't forget Punt Pass and Kick April 27-28

Championships. Congratulations!

Punishers Get Punished in IM Semifinals!

Although going undefeated in the regular season (11-0), the Punishers could not
defeat Napoleon Dynamite (8-3) in the Intramural playoff contest on Monday.
Team Captain, Tyler Fenimore, was ejected from the contest due to excessive
foul language.
The game was close throughout the first half but Napoleon
Dynamite's shooting proved to be key down the stretch. Napoleon Dynamite
won the game 74-53.
Napoleon Dynamite moves on to play 546 in the
Championship game Wednesday at 8:00pm at the Student Recreation Center.

The Hoosiers (8-3) will have to watch the Championship game from the
sidelines. After defeating Nuttin' But Net in the first round of playoffs, the
Hoosiers faced the sharpshooters of team 546 (10-1). In the first round of
playoffs 546 defeated Kiskoo Kids. On Monday, both teams had their runs
throughout the game, but 546's experience was key in the closing minutes. 546
won the game 69-57. They will move on to play Napoleon Dynamite in the
Championship game tonight at 8:00pm at the Student Recreation Center.
Admission is free for all LHU students with valid ID.

The Alamo, pictured above, defeated number one seed
Camp Diamond in the Championship Indoor
Volleyball contest last Wednesday. After being only
ranked third after regular season games, the Alamo
proved to be number one in the end.

Rita Wessel, 54, a transsexual came as the Gay Straight
Alliance's (GSA) guest speaker
for Pride Week with the help of
Phi Sigma Pi on Tuesday. She
talked about her changeover
from being a man, Richard, to a
woman, Rita. At thc beginning
she said that she's doing this to
put a face on transsexualism
and she did.
Those in attendance said
she was open-minded and a fun
person to listen to. Many of
them also said her talk made
you think about transsexualism
and yourself.
"There is no cure for transsexualism, other than living the
life as the opposite sex," said
Rita Wessel.

"Gender identity conflict
occurs in about one male out of
30. About one in 10,000 males
are gender dysphoric to the
point of changing gender roles,
like I am," she said.
Before getting surgery, Rita
had to live the life of a woman
for 15 months. The surgery is
very expensive ($15,000
$30,000), so you wouldn't do if
you weren't serious, she said.
Now usually you think that
when you're a transsexual, like
a man changed into a woman,
you like men and always did.
which I've seen as the common
thought. Though in Rita's case
she still liked women, but after
the transfer and the taking of
hormones, she started to like
men, but when she was a man
she had no interest in men at
all.

-

She still works and lives in
the same place she did when
she was a man. The reaction by
the townspeople and her coworkers was a positive one.
Though for other transsexuals,
they can have a hard time
transferring over and many
times they move to other places
in which no one knows them.
It was great that she was
willing to be so open. Many
students took advantage of the
question section and asked
many questions. Rita had no
problem answering all of thc
questions.
In the end, all Rita asked of
us as human beings, to just get
to know her and others in her
position before judging them,
then if you don't like her you
don't, but at least you tried and
were open.

Importance of self-respect and leadership
Diane Fleming, a
professor at Slippery
Rock, spoke about
self-respect at her
speech on Tuesday
night. She focused her
presentation on leadership, standing up for
your rights, and making
careful decisions.
In a test for her audience, she held up a five
dollar bill and asked
what leadership was
until someone grabbed
it from her, demonstrating
the
difference
between leaders and
followers. It was sponsored
the
by

Distinguished

The Top 10...
Ways to Prepare For Finals Week
Nicole Jacobs and Nicole Pinto
Staff Reporters
10. Throw out anything that could rot before you get home. The last thing you
vant to do 2 weeks after you move back is find moldy oranges.
Go to all the parties, get-togethers and activities that you can. This could
i your last chance to have fun for awhile as most parents do have rules.

Make up a schedule for Finals Week so that you can actually get some
aep. It probably won't make a difference but at least you made the effort!

7. Get down to the Rec. This could be your last opportunity to get in shape
or summer before you get home and have to work all the time. It also helps
o work off some of the stress that comes with a week full of tests.
If you can get home in the next couple of weeks, start taking some stuff
i you. That way you don't have to make one huge trip where you realize
don't have room for all your stuff. If you can't get home, at least start
king. You don't want to be awake the night before wondering where to put

5. Get everyone's phone numbers and emails or add all your friends to your
facebook. Just because ifs summer doesn't mean you can't keep in touch.
4. Start cleaning. You would not believe how much dust and dirt can collect
under a rug in a 9 month time frame!

3. Use up your flex. While it may not have seemed like real money this year,
you did pay for it at the beginning and it does not carry over to next semester.
Buy up all the drinks and chips you can!

2. Sell back your books. We know that the bookstore only gives you like $5
for a $200 book, but at least it's something. Better yet, find friends who are
taking the classes and sell the books to them. You won't turn a profit but you'll
make out better than with the bookstore.
And the #1 Way to Prepare for finals week...
1. STUDY! STUDY! STUDY! Hit the books now if you have to, but make sure
,^^^^^^
you don't forget the academic part of the week!

Modern Dance Company to shake things up at spring show
Leona Livingston
Staff Reporter
Twenty-two dances will be
performed by 30 dancers tomorrow night in Price when Thc
Lock Haven University Modem
Dance Company is having its
recital.
The show will feature five
types ofmain dances, including
jazz, aero, tap, lyrical and
pointe.
Along with those dances,
there will also be one performance featuring the full company
of approximately 30 members
and two where the company is
split in half.
President of the Modern
Dance Company,
Heather
Smith, choreographed the full
company number.
Due to the variety in dance
and music styles at the show,
people who see the show will be
sure to find something that will
appeal to their interests. One of
the small group performances
was choreographed by three of
the Lock Haven Dance
Company's members, Keri
Schmid, Jessica Stokes and
Laura Gruber.
Schmid says pointe will

have "new costumes that are
really pretty and should look
great from the audience."
The members take a lot of
time outside of regular practice
times to memorize the routines
for the smaller group performances. Much effort went into the
aero dancing, which features
tumbling and some stunts.
Each show features different
dances and choreography than
the ones before it. This year's
show will have music ranging
from Tim McGraw to Destiny's
Child and Lindsay Lohan and
there will even be a danceremix
twist on the popular song "Save
a Horse, Ride a Cowboy."
"We have all worked
extremely hard to memorize our
dances and perfect them But we
had a great time while doing it
and grew closer as a company. I
think this show will be a huge
sucess," said sophomore member Joleen Baldino.
Many of the dancers have a
basic background in ballet,
cheerleading and/or gymnastics
although lessons are not
required to be a member.
The show will start at 7:00
p.m. in Price Performance
Center. Admission is free and
open to the public.

Campus Craze once again has
swept the Student Rec Center
Jaimie Monahan
Staff Reporter
A line of 300 Lock Haven
students stood outside the Rec
Center waiting for their chance
at a free t-shirt at the start of
this spring's Campus Craze on
April 15.
This semester's Craze differed from the fall version by
having several new and different activities for students to
participate in. There were
inflatable things for students to
enjoy such as a dodge ball pit
and a giant human bowling
game.
Along with these events,
students could also bounce on
trampolines set up outside, play
in a blow-up obstacle course
that was in the guise of a
Western Round-Up and ride
bathtub go karts.
"Campus Craze this semester was a great time. I had a
blast," said Lock Haven sophomore Brian-Patrick Prentice.
Another different activity at
this semester's Craze was the
dunk tank. Students could each
take their turn at trying to dunk
LHU staff members, Alice the
ticket lady, Dr. Linda Koch and
others.

Throughout the night, peo
