Due to student demands,
the Parson's Union Building,
PUB. is not the same building
it was last year.
With many updates, renovations and changes, the PUB
is working towards becoming
a center location on campus.
Ownership of the former
Eagle Wing Snack Bar, now
known as the Eagle Rock
Cafe, switched hands over the
summer from the SCC to
ARAMARK, the company in
charge of Bentley.
This change has resulted in
two beneficial items for students - the acceptance of
FLEX dollars in the cafe and
the financial burden ofthe area
no longer on the students.
Since it is no longer owned by
the SCC, the funds to operate
the cafe do not come from the
students' activity fees.
SCC President Matt Wise
hopes that more students will
be attracted to the building as a
result ofthe changes.
"My goal is to put the students back into the student
union. This has been my thing
since I've won the election. I
want to see students use this
space," said Wise.
The PUB is also the location of the only computer lab
on campus that does not hold
classes.
Now called the Business
Center, the computer lab has 4
new computers plus a printer.
The PUB has also gone wireless on both levels of the

Students from China enroll full-time
Len Mahonski
Staff Reporter
Students from Yaohua
High School in Tiajin. China
will be pursuing 4-year
degrees at Lock Haven

program.
Dan Roberts, Director of
the Institute for International
Studies, noted that China is
very influencial in today's
world both politically and economically and that the enrollment of these students will
only enhance the educational
experience for everyone.
"International

students may not be exposed
to, these perspectives and
interactions open our students'
eyes to the world around
them," said Roberts.
Roberts credits President
Keith T. Miller with helping
the institute continue the success it has achieved in the
past.

"President Miller recognizes that the intercultural
development ofall students at

"However, these issues are not

were

on why the lawsuit was
filed, saying it was both for
personal reasons and for
women's rights as a whole.
She also referred to a common agreement among several
senior women faculty members, particularly at the
College of Medicine, who she
said feel the same way about
the alleged discriminatory
treatment of women faculty at
Penn State.
Penn State filed a formal
response to the lawsuit Aug.
14, in which the university
denies any prejudicial actions
against Summy-Long or any
other women faculty members.
Janine Gismondi, an attorney representing Penn State,
wrote in an e-mail message
that she is unable to comment
because of a company policy
regarding matters that are still
in litigation.
"I can, however, state that
the university disputes all of
the claims that Dr. SummyLong has asserted in the litigation," she wrote. "The university's actions and decisions

A Penn State professor
who is suing the university
and faculty members in the
College of Medicine for
alleged gender discrimination
said whatever the outcome of
her case, the lawsuit may help
other women.
Joan Y. Summy-Long, a
professor of pharmacology in
the College of Medicine, is
suing for an unknown monetary amount because she says
other faculty members discriminated against her by
refusing her bonuses and other
benefits while awarding them
to "similarly situated" male
faculty members.
Summy-Long said she
couldn't comment on the pending lawsuit, which was filed
June 6 and listed the university, Penn State President
Graham Spanier and eight
other faculty members as
defendants.
She referred questions to
her lawyer, Ira Weinstock,
who could not be reached for
comment by press time

Penn State did not engage in
unlawful retaliation against Dr.
Summy-Long at any time."
While Summy-Long stated
in the lawsuit that she exhausted all avenues to address the
alleged discrimination through
the proper administrative
processes, according to court
documents, Penn State denies
that she used all options available to her.
Also according to court
documents,
Summy-Long
filed a complaint with the
Pennsylvania House Relations
Commissions and with the
federal Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission.
She received the right-tosue March 6 from the United
States Department of Justice.
Penn State said in its
response that gender has never
been "a determinative factor

a joint effort by local law
enforcement agencies was
conducted in the city of Lock

The Lock Haven, Mill Hall
and Pine Creek Police
Departments cooperated in
instituting the Underage

in plain clothes, five of which
were consuming alcohol while
underage.
Possession of open con-

other citations issued by officers.

that a man can say it to a
woman ora woman to a man.
Sometimes it is not enough
to personally acknowledge
that you are a worthwhile, selfconfident, beautiful and kind
person. We tend to need that
validation from the opposite
sex. One needs to know if the
way one feels about one's self
is real. Because, naturally, if
no one else sees it...then, is it
real? Are we really special? Or
are we fooling ourselves?
Notice how a woman in
love seems so carefree so
natural and lovely? It is
because she has that assurance
that she is beautiful. She can
relax in the fact that someone
regards her as worthwhile and
she reciprocates that feeling.
When we do not have a

I got into a discussion the
other day with a friend about
relationships between males
and females. Are they good or
bad'? Are they necessary? And
what constitutes a romantic
relationship? What is "dating"
and what is "hanging out"?
Human beings are codependent and social creatures.
We constantly long for another
person to love us to see in us
something unique and something worth having. Usually
this other person is someone
that we want to view us in a
romantic or sexual manner. It
is as if other platonic relationships in life don't make us feel
as special. Sure, they let us
know we are loved, but they
don't quite say it in the way

I am not advising you to

Over two years ago, my
partner and I purchased a home
in the historic district of Lock
Haven.
We did so because we both
had fallen in love with the
incredible beauty of the area:
Both the natural beauty of its
majestic mountains and clear
rivers and streams and the
remarkable architecture of its
18th and 19th century homes.
Today I find myself frustrated and depressed by what
appears to me to be a complete
and utter disregard for the historic character of this community by local officials, moneygrubbing developers and one
of the few institutions in the
community with the deep
pockets and influence to take a
real stand against the ongoing
destruction of important historic landmarks.
All across this country,
communities large and small
are making efforts to encourage historic preservation, both
as a way to instill civic pride
and encourage tourism. One
very obvious nearby example
is the borough of Bellefonte,
which proudly touts its
Victorian district and reaps
millions of dollars in tourism
as a result. Another is the city
of Williamsport, which in

Why does the one institution locally that could and
should make a difference —
I'm talking, of course, about
Lock Haven University —
instead take the opposite
approach by razing historic
buildings for the sake of
paving brand new asphalt parking lots? I don't want to hear
excuses.
An institution that does as
much good for this community
— $50 million in economic
impact annually — should find
a way to save the Samuel
Christ house at 320 West Main.
My partner is an alumnus
and contributor to the university's foundation and I'm not
going to win any prizes from
him for saying this, but shame
on LHU for not taking a more
active role in historic preservation ofthis town.
And shame, too, on local
residents who give so generously to the university for failing to exert their influence on
that August institution on an
issue that is so clearly of vital
interest to them, and to their
community.

detrimental historical event is
the sacking of the Library of
Alexandria.
It was during one of
Caesar's campaigns into
northern Africa that resulted in
one of the largest destructions
of information in history. In
the lowest estimation of the
destruction, at least 40,000
volumes of information were
destroyed in a fire set by
Ceasar's forces. In the largest
estimate, an entire library
(reported as the largest in the
world at its time) and its
inhabitants were all destroyed.
Although it would be easier to
find out more about the assault
on the library if there were
more secondary sources left,
these sources were also likely
destroyed in the many military
campaigns throughout history
which tore through northern
Africa even as far into World
War II with Adolf Hitler's
Africa corps.

Shaun Boland
As a child, Shaun Boland was constantly creng something new, whether it was a Lego
jlpture, a cartoon or a colored pencil drawing
his favorite athletes. His drive to test his talts and artistic limits continued on through high
as he developed his drawing skills.
After receiving a degree in art in 2000, Shaun
found a job as a graphic designer at The Traders
3uide, a classified paper in Ebensburg, PA.
At the time, The Traders Guide used a mainstream cartoon in their paper, but their contract
with that cartoonist was about to expire. This
inspired Shaun to pick up his pen and pencil and
his childhood passion for cartooning.
A self-proclaimed "Nerd-Jock", Shaun drew
from his interests including sports and science,
as well as his wacky views of daily life.
Bol's Eye first appeared in the Traders Guide
in 2004 and has quickly spread to newspapers
across the country, gaining new fans everyday.

it is that information is both
the most powerful and the
weakest entity in existence.
Due to information, we as
Americans enjoy some of the
world's greatest splendors
from Wal-mart's elaborate
supply chains to the World
Wide Web and even to the vast
technology which allows the
publishing of a university
newspaper like this one.
While information allows
us to accomplish great things it
is also so easily lost. So many
times in history information
has been destroyed, altered
and even forgotten to make
way for rhetoric, Eurocentric
views and simple sloth. To
change it you needn't change
the world, vote or even pay
more attention to things. But
always remember those things
which merit remembering and
forget those things which
merit forgetting.

of Zeno's philosophical observances, doubtlessly accompanied by many other important
works, as this region was
known as the center for learning of its time.
Many great accomplishments were made in the
Library of Alexandria and its
surrounding smaller libraries,
including but not limited to,
quite accurate observances of
the length of the year and the

known to be round before
Columbus' time), studies on
human and animal anatomy, as
well as many other advances
in mathematics, engineering,
navigation, literature and science. Despite whether the

The Lock Haven City
Council unanimously voted
to allow proposals for consultant services in order to
update the city's nine-yearold zoning ordinance on
Monday.
City planner Leonora
Hannagan responded to this
new business item on the
agenda by stating that the
current zoning ordinance is
out of date and advising it
would take too long without
help from an outside
resource.
"Fifty percent of the

am confident we will get the
rest. The last time the ordinance was updated was in
1997. We would have to go
out for proposals, but in our
comprehensive plan the numbers
did not
exceed
$40,000," said Hannagan.
As far as what this action
will mean for students.
Mayor Richard P. Vilello
hopes that if this ordinance is
taken care of properly, it will
not mean less housing for
students, just a better quality
of housing.
Other council members
agreed with Hannagan's
opinion that the ordinance
should have stronger regulations toward preserving the
Water

"We do not have the regulations in place to preserve
our historic district," said
Hannagan. "We need to
update our system."
Vilello agrees that the
council needs to concentrate
on improving the district.
"Our goal is to prevent
improper use of mansionstyle homes," he said. "We
will still have to allow for
student housing and apartments, but we also need to
preserve our community by
not taking the character away
(of these mansion-styte
homes)."

Lock Haven residerU
Randall G. Sonner ignited
this issue for many community members with a recent letter to the editor of the Lock
Haven Express, stating his
disgust for the path that the
historic homes have taken in
recent years.

In other council business,
a Dickey school committee

request for $2,500 has been
approved for a Tiger Den
playground project, and the
council agreed upon establishing salaries and wages for
non-union employees in the
amount of $300.
Also, a homecoming
parade will be held on Friday,
Oct. 13, in conjunction with
the University's SCC and the
art-walk, in which councilman Joel Long hopes will
better the involvement of the
city council in Lock Haven.

New restaurant, downtown renovations over summer update dining options
Erin Hippie

Staff Reporter
Recently, two dining locations in downtown Lock
Haven have been making
headlines: The Diner, a brand
new
home-style cooking
restaurant and Uncle Albert's,
a down-to-earth pub inspired
restaurant/bar with a fresh

face-lift.
If you would have asked
sisters Crystal Fye and Lori
Buskirk two months ago what
they would be doing today,
they swear their answers would
not be "running a restaurant on
Main Street in Lock Haven."
Yet, that is exactly what
they're doing.
"For about 40 years this
place was a sandwich shop...
for a couple of years it was the
Lighthouse Diner then my
nephew bought and opened it
at the end of May, as
(Anthony] Serafini's Nothing
"Two
Fancy," said Fye.
months later my nephew called
us and asked if we would be
interested in it."
Even though this is the first
business venture for Fye and
Buskirk, there was no question
as to whether or not they were
going in on this idea together.
Hospitality and food service
has run in the family for years
and that is exactly where they
intend to keep it.
"A diner was my idea,"
said Fye. "Something very
home style, just good cooking
and a lot of homemade soups
and dishes. My parents owned
a rest years ago... Brown's
BBQ in Avis. Because the
recipes of Brown's BBQ have
been in our family, we brought
them here and they have just

gone crazy."
Stepping foot into The
Diner, one can tell that the
name says it all. Fye describes
the atmosphere as being a very
comfortable and relaxed, family-oriented, social place that
draws a crowd anywhere
between high school students
and the after-church goers.
"Before you step in the
door you can generally smell
our grilled sticky buns or BBQ
or some sort ofhomemade dish
Right now the biggest thing
is finding enough staff for the
sort of business we have been
receiving and maybe add more
baked goods. 1 didn't realize it
was picking up so quickly,"
said Fye.
"Come in and give us a try.
The wait staff is awesome and
the food is excellent," said Fye
and Buskirk.
Another restaurant that
boasts its great food and service is located just a few short
blocks away on Vesper Street.

Editorial
The Idiots of Summer
Garrett Graziano
Sports Editor
Summer has passed us by once again, and
with it has come some memorable moments
that most people in the sports world will wish

they could forget when the dust settles. That's
why today, I am proud to present in particular
the two dumbest athletes in sports from this
past summer.
In the game offootball you wear a helmet to
protect your skull from being crushed by 300
pound men. In the game of life you wear a helmet in war, at work and when driving motorcycles. Ben Roethlisberger must have not gotten
the memo about how much the concrete hurts
when you're flung off your bike. Now I know
all you Steelers fans are saying it wasn't his
fault that he was in an accident, and for the
most part I agree with you. However, seeing as
"The Bus" is retired, and Randle El is now a
Redskin, that leaves Roethlisberger, Hines
Ward, and Willie Parker as the main offensive
weapons. But who will throw to Ward or handoff to Parker if Ben isn't around? Charlie
Batch? Well if that's the case the Steelers faithfuls might as well pack it in early this year.
Good try guys, see you next season. And yes, 1
did see the Steelers win over Miami, but if
Batch is expected to start this Monday against
the Jaguars, the Steelers will be 1-1.
The point being is a football team without a
quarterback is like an army without a commander. Nothing works without the leader, just
as the leader doesn't win battles without the rest
ofthe army helping out.
So Big Ben, what have you learned? You're
the franchise, a Super Bowl champion, worth
more than most people can count and the hopes
and dreams of an entire football team and fan

base. Learn to wear a helmet, better yet learn to
drive something with airbags.
Even though Roethliberger's decision making can be compared with that of a three-yearold, he at least waited until the off-season to
potentially ruin his career.
The next athlete, however, is so incredibly
idiotic, that he could not fend off his momentary lapse ofreason any longer. On the grandest
stage in all of soccer, maybe even sports, he
decided a head butt to the chest and a loss to
Italy would be much better than a win and a
World Cup Championship.
Congratulations Zinedine Zidane! It's a
tough road traveled to be the sporting world's
biggest moron, but in a matter of seconds you
went from soccer royalty to another reason why
the rest of the world will be making fun of
France for the next four years.
It takes a special kind of decision making to
be the best player on the field and the lone goal
scorer on your team and just throw the World
Cup and your good name down the tubes; and
for what? Because an opposing player was
busting your chops? My goodness gracious you
define the term Mack of common sense.'
I understand that you being tossed from the
match isn't the sole reason why France lost, but
if you had used your brain, you could have been
the reason France won. It is this reasoning that
you have earned the top spot as head idiot.
When they speak of the soccer greats you'll
surely be among them, except you'll be the
only individual with an asterisk next to your
name identifying you as the leader-idiot who
lost the World Cup for his country. So now the
only thing that the French can be proud ofis the
Tour De France, and Americans have been winning it since 1999.

Summertime memories
James Cooney
Sports Editor
While Garrett discusses the "idiots of summer" I want to talk about the fun of summer.
This summer I had the privilege to be the assistant coach ofCameron County's Senior League
All-Star team. The team took second in the
State and it was the first time any Cameron
County all-star team made it to the state tournament.
But that's the boring part. See the Senior
League Tournament is held in Cameron County
each year and so that means that we had hometown support. And although it 18 illegal to drink
alcoholic beverages on Little Property it was
not across the street in right field. The
Cameron County Health Care Center parking
lot sits there. Fans began parking Thursday
night for game on Saturday. One fan put a tarp
in the back of his truck and filled it with water
so they could cool down in the hot summer sun.
Fans blasted music from their car stereos in
support of their hometown.
Also over the summer 1 realized that Beer
League softball is probably God's gift to base-

ball players. It's a sport where you can bring
your coolers into the dugout and get drunk
while playing. Let's see football players get
drunk and then try to play. I loved playing so
much that I actually broke my leg sliding into
second base.
My summer wasn't all pleasant though as I
watched my dear Chicago Cubs fall to last
place behind the Pittsburgh Pirates. One more
reason I had to hear Pittsburgh fans run their
mouths about how there city is so great. Am I
the only person tired ofSteeler fans?
1 have to actually admit 1 cheered for the
Steelers in the last Super Bowl but after hearing
all summer about how they are the greatest
team ever, I now cannot stand the Steelers and
I would actually cheer for the Eagles over the
Steelers. See and the Eagles are about the only
team I can talk smack on because I am a Bills
fans, and unlike the Eagles at least Buffalo was
good enough to win four AFC championships.
So I hope in my first editorial I made
Steelers and Eagles fans mad because being in
Lock Haven and listening to you guys talk
about how good your teams are makes me want
to move to Canada and watch Hockey!

LSU's attention turns to No. 4 Auburn
Tabby Soignier
The Daily Reveille
Sophomore center Brett
Helms said he could not sleep
this past Saturday night, but
it was not because of excitement that came with the victory over the University of
Arizona just hours before.
Now that the first two
games were over there was
nothing left to keep Helms or
the rest of the Tigers from
giving their complete attention to Saturday's game

Conference rival Auburn
University.
"I was laying in bed and
just thought, 'We got a big
1
one on our hands this week, "
Helms said. "Now that the
Arizona game is over, this is
what you're thinking about.
There's something special in
the air. You can feel it. Just
the anticipation of two Top10 teams going at it. There's
definitely something in the
air. Everyone just seems a little antsy."
The Tigers have a reason
to be antsy as they embark on
not only their first road game
but first day game and first
SEC opponent of the season.
Last season when the time
came in week six to play
Auburn, LSU already had

two SEC home games against
Tennessee and Florida. The
Tigers came out on top 20-17
in overtime. This season the
battle falls in the third week
of the season.
"People are still going to
question that we haven't
played a huge opponent yet,"
said junior offensive guard
Will Arnold. "I think that we
have had a lot ofpractice. It's
been a long grind. We've had
enough games. I'm not worried about that. We're doing
better. We'll be ready for
these guys."
LSU coach Les Miles said
the team will have a close to
normal practice week, but he
said the players will treat it
differently.
"We're not going to have
to rev up this LSU football
team," Miles said. "It's a lot
of fun preparing for a traditional opponent, a key rivalry. It's what you play football
for. There will be a lot of differences in how we approach
the game in terms of extra
time and our players wanting
extra time [to prepare]."
Preparation will include
studying film and making
sure they can see and read
what Auburn will scheme up
for Saturday.
"Our coaches are going to
give us a game plan, and we
just have to go out there and

Notre Dame coach not losing confidence

learn it," Arnold said. "We
studied the film. We know
they're going to be great at
disguising things. When you
can't see or read what they're
going to do, that's when you
get hurt."
In present standings, No.
4 Auburn is the highest
ranked opponent LSU will
face this year.
Arnold said the rankings
add more motivation for LSU
because a win will help gain
respect from fans who might
overlook them.
"Auburn and LSU
it's
definitely a rival," Arnold
said. "It's No. 4 Auburn.
We're trying to get respect.
The players are going to be
ready, and it's going to be a
different feel. You always
look at Auburn as a tough
team. You got to be ready to
play, or you're going to get
beat."
Respect is not the only
thing won in the outcome of
the rivalry. Four of the past
five seasons show that the
winner ofthis game has gone
on to play in the SEC
Championship game.
"I think that shows what
is at stake," Miles said.
"Certainly the greatest rivalry
is to play with championship
implications, and this certainly is."

Mike Gilloon
The Observer
Lloyd Carr believes in his
Michigan squad, but he's not
naive.
The Wolverines ran for
252 yards in Saturday's 4117 home win over Central
Michigan. That said, a productive ground game against
Mid-American Conference
(MAC) foe Central Michigan
only tells him so much.
Though the Chippewas'
rush defense led the MAC
last season, Carr said that a
No. 2 Notre Dame squad
would pose a tougher chal-

Rhett Bollinger
Daily Trojan
Nebraska, once known for
running the ball down its
opponents' throats, has been
running an NFL-style offense
the last two years under coach
Bill Callahan.
USC coach Pete Carroll
said the offense is most similar to the West Coast offense
that the NFL's Tampa Bay
Buccaneers run, but that the
Cornhuskers are committed to
running their style of offense.
"It's a very complex
offenseand they are starting to
hit and break it in," Carroll
said.
But the Trojans feel like
Nebraska's pro-style offense is
similar to the one that USC
runs every day in practice.
"They throw the ball a lot,
but their offense is pretty similar to ours, so I feel pretty
comfortable about it," freshman safety Taylor Mays said.
Nebraska quarterback Zac
Taylor broke school records
last season for passing yards
(2,653), passing attempts
(399) and completions (233).
But the Cornhuskers
ranked 107th in rushing
offense, averaging only 96
yards per game. This year,
however,
Nebraska has
improved their running game,
rushing for 513 yards in two
games so far.
The Trojans will continue
to use their hybrid 3-4 defense
on Saturday, which rests
largely on the play of sophomore linebacker/defensive
end Brian Cushing.
Cushing, who had five
tackles against Arkansas, said
he feels more comfortable in
the role.
"It's really not that much
different from last year reacting to play actions and stuff,"
Cushing said. "You just have
to make a little quicker of a
read."
Cushing said it's not a 3-4,
but more like a 4-3 with a
stand-up linebacker.

No matter who's carrying

Mike Hart had no problem running effectively
against Vanderbilt and
Central Michigan. The
Wolverines starting halfback
scored three times against
the Chippewas, on runs of 2,

a 19-carry, 116-yard day.
That followed a 146-yard
performance on 31 carries in
Michigan's 27-7 seasonopening home win ov«r

Hart is Michigan's leading rusher this season, but

Carroll said that their statuses are questionable for
Saturday's game.
Redshirt junior defensive
tackle Sedrick Ellis was carted
off the field when he was
injured early in practice. He
had an MRI Monday night,
and the results have not been
released yet.
"He tweaked his knee in a
drill," Carroll said.
Sophomore running back
Michael Coleman, however,
returned to practice for the
first time in a few weeks.
KIFFIN GIVES JARRETT 'F'
Junior receiver Dwayne
Jarrett was the subject ofcriticism from USC offensive
coordinator Lane Kiffin in a
radio and newspaper interview from the Lincoln (Neb.)
Journal Star.
Kiffin gave the receivers
an "F" for their performances
against Arkansas and called
out Jarrett, saying "We really
challenged him (last) week
and embarrassed him to get
going."
Jarrett shrugged off the
comments and said they didn't
irk him at all.
"That game is in the past,"
Jarrett said. "It pushes me to
get better, that's all."
FRESHMAN
JOHNSON PRACTICES WITH
FIRST TEAM
Freshman running back
Stafon Johnson practiced with
the first team Monday, after
working with the scout team
before the Arkansas game.
Despite coming to school
with great expectations,
Johnson was one of the few
running backs who didn't see
any playing time against
Arkansas.
Carroll said that they will
continue to rotate the running
backs and the scout team running back could change every
day.

The USC football team
rested over the weekend, and
even Carroll got a chance to
relax and watch football.
"I saw more football in the

Carroll said.
Carroll said he also had the
chance to watch former USC
players Reggie Bush and Matt
Leinart on Sunday.

As a child, Shaun Boland was constantly creating something new, whether it was a Lego sculpture, a cartoon or a colored pencil drawing ofhis favorite athletes. His drive to test his talents and
artistic limits continued on through high school as he developed his drawing skills. After receiving a degree in art in 2000, Shaun found a job as a graphic designer at The Traders Guide, a classified paper in Ebensburg, PA. At the time, The Traders Guide used a mainstream cartoon in their
paper, but their contract with that cartoonist was about to expire. This inspired Shaun to pick up
his pen and pencil and rekindle his childhood passion for cartooning. A self-proclaimed "NerdJock", Shaun drew from his interests including sports and science, as well as his wacky views of

daily life. Bol's Eye first appeared in the Traders Guide in 2004 and has quickly spread to newsTo contact Shaun, write to
papers across the country, gaining new fans everyday.

Tran added that while living in America he felt disconnected from his parents as well
as from the American culture.
He uses his art as a means to
reconnect with his ancestors.
A recurring theme in his
works is war. He uses materials like bamboo and lotus
leaves that reflect the "very
earthy, very organic" nature of
life in post-war Vietnam.
"In the West you think of
life as linear," Tran said. "In
the East it is more circular.
Everything is interrelated."

Fall TV lineup boasts old favorites as well as some new charmers
Kristen Buonfiglio
Guest Writer
It's a drag sometimes to
have to spend one's summer
vacation watching reruns of
old favorite shows. However,
when summer is over, it means
that both old favorites are
renewed, and new faces
appear.
Some of the popular channels, ABC, CBS and NBC are
returning old shows that were
appearing as dreaded reruns
during the summer.
ABC is returning shows
such as Extreme Makeover:
Home Edition, Supernanny,
and Grey's Anatomy and airing brand new seasons of all
three.
Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition will kick off its brand
new season on September 17,
starting at 8:00p.m. on ABC,
featuring the rebuilding of the
Llanes Family's home. Marlee
Matlin will guest-host this new
episode.

Supernanny will be slightly altered this season, as Jo

Frost, known as Supernanny,

will focus more children in the
seven to eleven age bracket,
which are older ages than she
previously concentrated on.
She will also bring in a specialized expert if the family
has a child who needs special
care, such as Down Syndrome.
The new season will begin on
September 18.
Grey's Anatomy will air its

group of siblings who try to
become the perfect role-models, just as they feel their parents have always been for
them. Brothers and Sisters
will air on September 24 at
10:00p.m.
The other new ABC
drama, Ugly Betty, is about

"I'm glad so many students came out and took

One of the attractions,
and perhaps the most popular, was the temporary tattoo
station. At one point, over 40
students waited in line to
receive one of the 50 tattoos
that they could select from.
Tattoos adorned the necks,
legs, arms, and faces of
many students making their
bodies the canvas for the
spray painted artwork.
"There were times where
nearly everyone there was

about three or four events a
weekend. It's an enjoyable
experience for all the students."
Upon arrival, every student was given a ticket for
the prize giveaway. Some of
the main prizes handed out
were a PlayStation Portable

Madden '07, a portable DVD
player, a poker set, and a
digital camera.

HAC organized Fall Fest

Freshmen survival guide, tips for making it through the first year
Erin Hippie
Editor At Large
First, relax! For most, college is going to be the best
four years ofyour life. Take in
everything that you can while
you're here. Challenge yourself to meet everyone in your
class or take up an activity you
would have never tried before.
Do something different. In
college, the majority of students do not know what kind
ofperson you are. This isyour
chance to start fresh and shape
yourself into the kind of person you most want to be.
Make a name for yourself.
Discover YOU.
1. Attempt to get along
with your roommate. Even if
your major is biology and his
or her major is British literature, you are bound to have at
least a few things in common.
Try meeting up for lunch a
couple times a week or exploring the town together. The
first friends you make are likely to be the ones you will
remain close with. If you
don't hit it off with your
roomie at least try to be civil;

remember you have to live
with them for the rest of the
year.
2. Start out the year with a
positive attitude toward learning. We all know that if you
missed a homework assignment or two during high
school, it wasn't a big deal.
Unfortunately, that's not the
case in college. Group studying is always a great option
and the library's 24-hour study
lounge is perfect if you need
some quiet time. The harder
you work during the week, the
more fun you can have on the
weekends!
3. Speaking of weekends,
stay on campus! 7 out of 10
Lock Haven freshmen who
were polled said that they left
campus on the weekend. How
are you going to know what
Lock Haven is like if you are
never here? There are tons of
things to do: walk on the dike,
see a movie at the Roxy, go
bowling, rent a movie and
order pizza, hike up the mountain, get involved with intramural sports at the Student
Recreation Center, get a weekend job in town or volunteer
with Habitat for Humanity.

Plus you can
always check out
the Features section of the Eagle
Eye for awesome
upcoming events.
4. Master the
art oflaundry! For
so many, college is
the first time that
one has to experience the absence
of mom and her
ability to reproduce clean clothing. Well, here are
