State system
considering
higher costs
for more
credits

Volume 59 Issue 2

Lock Haven, Pcnmsyttwma

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Scott Kulah

Students at the Pennsylvania State Universi-

ties may be paying more
money if they wish to
take more credits, under a
new plan by the state system of higher education.
Under the plan, the
maximum number of
credits a student can take
without paying more
money would drop from
18 to 16. If a student
wishes to take any more
credits, they must pay
$192 per credit hour on
top of their tuition.
Currently, students only have to pay extra if
they exceed the maximum courseload of 18
credits.
For example, undergraduate tuition for Pennsylvania residents is set at
$2,299 for students taking
between 12 and 18 credits. For each credit over
18 students go, tuition increases $192, the increase
that the State System will
still be using when the
credit limit drops.
The system's reasoning behind the plan is that
they wish to stop what
they call course shopping.
The system says that they
are trying to prevent students from registering for
more courses than they
need, then dropping the
class that they like the
least.
Judy Hample, State
System Chancellor, told
the
Pittsburgh
PostGazette that the plan will
be beneficial for students
who wish to take a course
and complete it by leaving more seats open at
registration time.
Some students feel that
the new plan is a hindrance for those who
complete all 18 credits
that they register for.
"I did not do so well
my freshman year and I
had to retake some classes. I know that I am going to have to take 18
credits at least one semester. I do not think that it is
fair for us to pay more
just because some students are registering for
classes and then dropping
them," says sophomore
Shane Hook.
The plan, if initiated,
will take effect at all 14 of
the state universities in
the fall 2004 semester.

Colin Day scrapes off his windshield during the snowfall on Tuesday afternoon. Lock Haven received
4 inches of snow on Monday. More snow is expected throughout the region Wednesday and over the
weekend. By presstime the snow had already caused the cancelation of the celebration of the
life of former President Dr. Francis N. Hamblin that was scheduled for Tuesday night at 5:30 p.m.
For the full story, see page 2.

With President Craig
Dean Willis departing, Lock
Haven University welcomed
Dr. Joseph Danks, as the first
of six perspective presidential candidates.
On Jan. 26 and 27, Danks
engaged in forums in which
he talked of his past experiences and his intentions for
the university if he is chosen
as the next president.
Danks wishes to be the
next president of Lock
Haven University because
he believes it is the final step
in his career.
He mentioned that every
six or seven years he has had
a major change in the emphasis of his career, and at
this point in his life, he has
reached the point that he
would like to take on different kinds of challenges.

One of the "Little

shared his experiences as
one of nine black students at Little Rock Central High School during
the 1950s with over 100
students and faculty.
Roberts, schooled by
King in nonviolence,
spoke of the September
day when he, along with
eight other students, attempted to enter Central

High.

Roberts urged the importance that education
played in the attempt to
integrate the school.
"We weren't there to
desegregate, integrate or
to provide black bodies
to sit beside white bodies," he said. "We just
wanted an education."

Roberts spoke of the
harassment he received
as a black student in a
primarily white school.
"It was as if these kids
had gone to summer
school to learn techniques of harassment,"
said Roberts.
He recalled one situation in particular that he
referred to as "the most
dramatic" in his life
when a boy, had approached him with a
baseball bat, ready to
swing it at his head,

Roberts spoke not only of the stress the experience caused him, but
also the stress the experience caused his parents.
"I had no idea of the

Roberts, who quoted
King throughout his
speech, urged the importance of King's dream of

p.m.. Lock Haven University
Law Enforcement, the Lock
Haven City Police, and the
Pennsylvania State Police took

Hendricks was apprehended
without incident.
Hendricks was wanted for
several different acts ofburglary

U.S. government vehicle, cash
,and computer equipment.
Additional criminal charges also
are pending.
Hendricks is originally from

Binge Drinking on College Carnpuses
According to a 1997 national study conducted by the
Harvard School of Public Health, nearly half of all college
students surveyed drank four or five drinks in one sitting
within the previous 2 weeks.
Students who live in a fraternity or sorority house are the
heaviest drinkers 86 percent of fraternity residents and
80 percent of sorority residents report binge drinking.

In a recent study, 39 percent of college women binge
drank within a 2-week period compared with 50 percent
of college men.

"I am worried that commuters coming to Lock

Even with the poor weather,
students came out to attend the
first Public Issues Forum of the
semester on Monday, Jan. 26,
2004. The topic up for discussion was "Our Nation's Kids: Is
Something Wrong?" Three different choices were featured in
an introductory video introduced
by Public Issues Forum Team
leader Keri Schmid.
Choice one said to put children ahead of self-satisfaction.
Many students saw this option as
positive but impractical.

This

choice leans on one parent being
home at all times. The natural
assumption, for many, would be
that the mother stays home.
Students were mostly opposed to
this aspect; however, some male
attendees noted they would stay
home with their children as long
as the female could support the
family.
Choice two noted responsibility should be shared for children.
This choice greatly
increases the involvement of
society in raising a child.
Freshman Jen Koshko voiced
her opinion in saying, "Society
should have some role in raising
children but should not be the

sole provider of morals and
guidelines."
Choice three concluded that
children need moral discipline.

and expert on American govern-

planting seeds for his own reelection campaign in 2004.
terror

Bush spent the majority of

his

approximate

50-minute

speech talking about the U.S.
role in the war on terrorism. He
painted a picture of a liberated
Iraq, working with the U.S.
towards their own bill of rights
and a new constitution. He

spoke of

the

children

in

Afghanistan that are now back
in school and the new rights
granted to Afghani women.

Bush citied ideas for his "forward strategy" of freedom in the
Middle East such as providing
uncensored news services across
the Middle East region. He
boasted facts such as two-thirds
of the known al Qaeda leaders
being imprisoned.
While peoples of the Middle
East have been granted freedom
and repair in the last year, many
were critical of Bush's failure to
mention many of the grave problems that still exist in the region
and the loss of lives to civilians
and U.S. troops overseas.
"He [Bush] made only
briefest reference to the causalities and the fact that 500
Americans have been killed. We
never heard anything about the
weapons of mass destruction
that a year ago Bush confidently
said Saddam had. A lot of reasoning behind his war policies
has proven to be false. He passivelv admitted that his rational-

eign allies.
Bush applauded the U.S.
economy as being strong, citing
that home-ownership rates are
the highest ever, taxes were cut
for small businesses, and that
the death tax is close to being

phased out. Bush attributed
these successes to tax breaks,
which allowed Americans to reinvest their money into the economy.
However, democrats were
quick to point out that these tax
breaks benefited the wealthiest
Americans and that Bush exaggerated the number of new jobs
created. Sen. John Kerry

explained to voters in Concord,
NH on Wednesday that onry
1,000 jobs were created last
month, a minute portion of the
administration's goal of 250,000
new jobs.
While the Democratic candidates were largely critical of
Bush's speech, he introduced
proposals that are traditionally
supported by Democrats. Many
proposals were for improving
education for young adults with
programs such as "Jobs for the
21st Century," to make students
stronger in science and math. He
also proposed a $300 million
"Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative" to

million for schools that want to
use drug testing "as a tool to

Bush ended his speech by revisiting his conservative values,

technology at the advanced
point that it's at now, the easiest
way to access information is to
search for it on the net, rather
than use the "old-fashioned"
methods, such as books and the

Mike Porcenaluk
Co-Editor in Chief
Have you ever stopped to
think about how much time you
spend sitting in front of your
computer talking to people
online? I have noticed that the
first thing that I do when I get up
in the morning, after that initial

trip to the bathroom, is sit down
and check my e-mails and go
through my AIM Buddy list
reading everyone's away messages.
Not that this is really an
imperative thing to do for survival, but it makes me feel more
enlightened to know what
everyone else has been doing all

talk to them about when I see

tory, "Hey, how's it going?"

The modern marvels of
instant messaging and cell
phones are changing how we
communicate by allowing us to
talk to a lot more people, a lot
more often.
With our extensive buddy
lists, we can keep tabs on what
100 or so people are doing at
any given time. We can also talk
to a whole group of them in private conversations at the same
time, while doing other work on
the computer. This improves not
only our typing skills, but our
abilities to multitask as well.
With our cell phones, we can
be available to anyone who

because we can throw ideas

around with each other without
ever leaving our rooms. We can
also send files and pictures to
each other online or call each
other even if we are not in our
rooms or apartments and therefore, we can get our work done
with less effort.
Carpooling also becomes a
breeze with cell phones, and
giving directions has become
much simpler with the phrase,

Because we talk so much,
we have become accustomed to
talking faster and shortening
whole sentences to mere letters.
In fact, Internet lingo has created so much impact that there are
many

websites

Check out our website:

like

BigBlueBall.com that are devoted entirely to educating people
on how to read what is said in
chat rooms.
Though our vocabulary is
becoming smaller and we type
in contractions, I think that
without technology, our lives
would be less enlightened and
we would get less done in a day.
That or we would be able to get
more done because we would
not spend so much time checking away messages or aimlessly
gossiping with people late into
the night.

cow will symbolize the past, as
well as the present and future of
Lock Haven.
"It's a wonderful idea to have
your picture on this cow and be
able to show it to your kids,
years from now," said Philip
Huber. associate professor of the

art department. "You could
revisit that moment forever."

Hubcr was on the committee
that chose the winning design,
along with Scott Eldredgc, public relations director. Kate
Rounsley, university relations
division, and Jerry UpdegraH,
vice president of university relations and executive director of

even do group shots. Neil and
Steven want to include as many
people as possible, but of
course, it is impossible to get
everyone.
"It's not often that the general public has the chance to get
involved in a project like this,"
Neil said. "That's something
worth getting excited about."
"We want to make it as fun
as possible," Steve added. "It's
great that we get to represent
Lock Haven with our design."
Not only is this the first time
that this kind of design will be
attempted, but it is also the first
time that Lock Haven will participate in "Cows on Parade."

Maggie Herrick/ Eagle Eye
With past locations like Zurich,
Switzerland and Chicago,
Harrisburg will be the smallest
city that the parade will take
place at. There will be one cow
from each of the 14 state
schools.
Winning this contest has
given Neil and Steven an opportunity to show their talent and
represent the art department,
which most young artists don't
have. They also received a
scholarship from the state systern, who is paying for the cow
and materials. At the revealing
ceremony in April, they will get
to meet the governor and display
their work in the Whitaker
Center for Science and the Arts.
When the cow comes back
home, it will belong to the university, but there are no definite
plans for it yet.
Now you're probably won-

dering, why cows? Chicago
businessman Peter Hanig, who
first had the idea to have the cow
parade in Chicago, thinks the
appeal of cows has something to
do with what they represent.
They are friendly, nurturing, and
non-threatening animals. He
also believes that the surprise
element of cows in a city is the

key to the parade's success.
"Art is about breaking down
barriers. It gets people to feel, to
think, to react," Hanig said.
"Suddenly people sec that art
can be fun and that art can be
interesting to everyone..."

Sloan gallery features work
by Pennsylvania artist
Mike Porcenaluk
Co-Editor in Chief
A small crowd of students,
faculty and friends milled about
in the gallery of the Sloan Fine
Arts Building last Thursday
night, awaiting artist Chet
Davis' explanation of his paintings.

Davis said that he gets many
mixed reactions to his works,
but the expression, "well that's
interesting," is quite common.
He paints situations that he has

Maggie Merrick/Eagle Eye
Chet Davis talks to students about his art work. He explains how he
concentrates on the human figure.

experienced, and portrays the
emotions and actions in a very

modernistic and gestured style.
Davis,
a
native
of
Pennsylvania, spoke to students
about the importance of learning
art history, and emphasizing the
fact that painting is not a dying
media.

His speech was informationmoving, and I am
inspired by his drive and his
cause, but his paintings themselves actually do not evoke
much emotion in me.
If I had not attended the
opening to hear him speak about
his work and why he does it this
way, I would feel no connection
at all to his paintings.
He claims that most of his
works are things that he has

al and

experienced and he is trying to
portray those events as he saw
them at the time. I feel that in
order for the public to enjoy the
works at their full potential, they
must be able to connect to the
work in some way as well.
This is something that I was
not entirely able to do. I can see
the look that he was going for,
but I cannot relate to them
because he has portrayed them
in ijuch a personal way that it
blocks some of the meaning,
and it is hard for me to bring in
my own views and experiences.

ent. The way that the figures
seem to melt into their surroundings and the backgrounds seem
to shape the figure in an interesting look; though the loose
brush strokes and blurred details
somewhat distance me from
them. The motion and emotion
seem to both be vying for my
attention, and I lose interest in
them quickly.
If you feel that you can look
at them longer, they will be displayed until February 13, so feel
free to stop by Sloan and form
your own opinions on these

I give him credit for his

Need help with your workouts? Online trainers available for 2004
Mary Robb Farley
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Are you interested in

working with a personal trainer but don't feel you have the
time, or money, or nerve to
wear Spandex in public?
An Internet trend that's
growing rapidly lets you exercise at home at your own
pace, but still have some pro-

fessional guidance.
Online personal training
has been gaining momentum
during the past few years,
with Web sites sprouting up
all over the Internet, touting

personal-training services.
The services vary, but
most sites offer exercise programs and some have additional motivators such as email consultations with a personal trainer, buddy workouts
via e-mail and online fitness

fotUMM
Some sites revise the exer-

cise programs week to week
(for members) and offer different workouts to do at
home, in the gym or during
pregnancy.
The sites do not replace
one-on-one training, but may
be an option for those who
think they need some direction, but not necessarily personal contact with a trainer.
Steve McKinney, of
Madison, 111., is a personal
trainer with his own gym who
started offering an online personal-training service last
year.
From his Web site,
www.fitnessandmore.net,
clients can download his emanual, "Fitness and More,"

for $29.99.
The manual shows workthat can be done at home
with dumbbells; illustrations
show how to advance from
one routine to the next. The
Web site also advertises a
outs

one-half-hour personal-training phone consultation for
$50.

McKinney says customers
can e-mail, call or visit for
personal advice. Clients get in
touch when they need motivation or have a question, he
said, and can also sign up for
e-mails with fitness tips that
McKinney prepares.
McKinney said he has had
about 200 online clients. He is
certified by the National
Federation of Professional
Trainers and also is a certified
post-rehabilitation specialist
with the American Academy
of Health and Fitness
Professionals.
He preaches high-intensity,
low-force training, with workouts that take about 10 to 15
minutes.
"The goal is to get the
most effect for the least dose
(of exercise). Too much exercise can cause joint pain and

other problems," McKinney
said.
Jason Rulo, a personal
trainer for the Wellbridge
health club chain who works
at the health club's Monsanto
corporate location, launched
an online personal-training
site just weeks ago, and
already has four clients.
He's been testing the site,

www.pinnaclepersonaltraining.com, for a year, and is
based in St. Charles, Mo.
Rulo said online training
can be a good choice, because
it allows for easy availability
of a quality personal trainer,
it's more affordable - his program is $30 a month -and it's
more flexible, allowing clients
to make their own schedule
and not have to meet trainers
at certain times.
at

A one-time fee of $20 covers a book,"Strength Training
Anatomy" by Frederic
Delavier, that "breaks down

every exercise, how to do it,
how they work," Rulo said.

Clients begin by filling out
an evaluation about body

weight, previous injuries,
sports background, goals,
nutrition and any conditions
that might require a doctor's

clearance.
Rulo then sets up a workout card for the client to follow, including resistance
training, stretching, diet tips
and eventually, cardio programs.
"I try to follow up once or
twice a week with every single client," he said, "using email, Web chats and instant

messaging."
The American Council on
Exercise cautions that novice
exercisers who haven't
worked with weights or exercise machines in the past
should begin with a hands-on
trainer before using an online

service.

ACE advises checking the
qualifications of the staff that
will be training you and making sure they're certified by a
reputable organization.
Look for an online site
that's easy to navigate, and
sample workout plans to make
sure you understand the exercises and have enough information to be able to do them
on your own.
Sites should make it easy
to contact a trainer by e-mail, ■
but it's even better if they also
offer a phone number for
those times when a cybcr-con-

nection just won't cut it.
And if you decide to sign
up, be sure that the site
requires a detailed evaluation
of your health history, workout goals and current fitness
level.
Those that don't may simply be handing out stock
workouts that aren't really
personalized to specific needs.

A Day in the Life... of a Swimmer
Brandie Kessler
Eagle Eye Reporter
■ More than 4,200 students are
enrolled in classes this semester,
and we have a swim team comprised of less than a dozen
young women. So, it is safe to
say that the majority of students
here at LHU do not know what it
is like to live a day in the life of
a.Haven swimmer. And yes, in
case you didn't get it yet, we do
have a swim team.
The members of the LHU

niust deal with, but they rarely

of us trained over the summer,
so it wasn't that big of an adjustment when we first got here,"
said freshman Diane Sujansky.

The men's basketball

falling to the best team in
their division, the Vulcans

evening, finishing the week
at 1-1.
