As the race for the US
presidency enters into full
stride, LHU students are
preparing to cast their ballots in a presidential election of their own.
Voting for the Student
Cooperative Council, Inc.
(SCC) Executive Board
begins 8 a.m. Friday in the
PUB business
office.
Students will have the
opportunity to choose
between two competing
tickets to fill the offices of
president and treasurer.
William Dowd and
Donald "DJ" Amoriello are
running against Christine
and
Karl
Bergeski
Thompson for the presidency and office of treasurer, respectively. Keith
Haller is running unopposed for the vice presidency.
The president of the
SCC is responsible for running the organization's
executive board and corporate activities. The battle
for this office is marked by
the experience and dedication of the two candidates.
Bergeski is the current
SCC treasurer and has

"This decision, to my

Matthew Wise.
While the exact stops
have not yet been determined, the university is
looking at two different
routes, an inner and outer
loop. One would travel
between the main campus
and the east campus,
while the other would stop
at the downtown locations.
Many of the Lock
Haven businesses are
looking forward to the

means of new, potential
customers and to give the

According to Wise, the
best advice for students is
to just hold tight until the

feel free to relay any questions or concerns that may
arise to the SCC office.

The Computing and

been preparing for the

months in advance and
because of their thorough
preparation the effects
were minimal.
With daylight saving
time having been scheduled for two weeks earlier
than it usually is, it created
a sense of careful preparation on campus to make
sure that all devices were
able to be updated with the
correct times.
Donald Patterson, Jr.,
director of computing and

said that they had no problems with any of the campus devices. He said they

"For the students on

Some students had to

drove to Alabama and
spent a total of five days in
the area. Unfortunately
due to weather and safety
constraints, they were
only able to work during
two of those days, but the
work that was done was
well worth it, according to
Jacobs.
While helping to clean
out the house of one of the
victims, Jacobs recalls
how difficult it was to
explain to the elderly
owner that she could not
salvage certain items
because of the severity of
the damage. Wearing gas
masks to protect their
lungs against dangerous

debris in the air like
asbestos and fiber glass
particles, Jacobs and other
volunteers sifted through
debris to salvage whatever
belongings they could.
"Her saying 'thank you'
made it all worth it," said
Jacobs, remembering the
gratitude of the owner,
who insisted on being
called Miss Helen.
Tornados, notoriously
selective in their violence,
can often leave debris of
scattered severity in their
wake.
"It was the craziest
thing I ever saw," Jacobs
recalled,
"One
house
would be gone, another
untouched and then a
third with nothing more
than roof damage."
"It was fulfilling to help
people, most of which I
didn't know," Jacobs said.
Long-term help and
volunteers will be harder
to come by, as is often the
case. Jacobs has hopes of
returning Enterprise over
the summer and pitching
in to aid in the long
rebuilding process that lay
ahead.
Though the community
has endured a devastating
hardship, Jacobs found
their unity inspiring, and
explained by saying,
"It really makes you
proud to say that you are
from that area."

Sixty years ago an
annual tradition unlike
anything in the world of
college concert bands was
born in Price Auditorium.
The Annual Pennsylvania
Collegiate Band Festival
returned to its birthplace
for its 60th anniversary
held on Sunday. March 4.
This year's performance featured guest conductor Dr. Stanley F.
Michalski Jr., distinguished emeritus professor of music and conductor
of bands at Clarion
University.
In addition to the prestigious guest conductor,
composer Andrew Boyson
was commissioned by the
Pennsylvania
College
Band Association (PCBA)
to write a song for the performance and so"Orpheus
and Eurydice" received its
world premier within
Price Auditorium.
The festival is the only
one in the country that
reoccurs every year, and
features some of the best
college musicians in the
Lock
state.
Haven
University had six of its
students perform in this
year's event, including

Teller and Cantwell
were greatly involved in
the festival since, in addition to having been selected to perform, they both
were co-chairs for the
Band
Intercollegiate
Committee whose duty it
was to organize the event.
Band fraternity Kappa
Kappa Psi and sorority
Tau Beta Sigma were also
fundamental in helping to
make the event a success.
Universities across the
state can have students
apply to participate within the festival. A committee of various band directors assembled by the
PCBA decides on which
talented student applicants are most the most
qualified to perform in the

festival.
Professor

R.

Schmidt, who was also
featured as the host conductor during the concert,
and Kathy Ryan, the sec-

retarial supervisor of the
fine arts department,
were essential leaders in
the organization of the
event according to Teller
and Cantwell.
Schmidt acted as liaison with the selection
committee and worked to
make
the
necessary
arrangements needed to
host the event. Ryan
worked hard on other
details of the event including the aesthetic, as she
helped to design the certificates and the program
for the event.
"She was a godsend."
Teller said of Ryan.
But the majority of the
leg work in organizing the
event can be attributed to
the students, according to
Schmidt.
"Everything that ran
on the ground was student-run," he said.

Students traveled to Morocco to partake in community service overseas
during spring break. Small villages became the temporary homes for the
volunteers who had given up normal amenities for the cause. The group
above includes Celeste Lindahl, Loren Bellows, Eric Smith, Teri DolanWard, Amy Klinger and Kimber Walters.

The ANSWER Coalition, a nation-wide anti-war organization prompted a
protest against the war in Iraq. Student Nate Weaver, accompanied by
friends from LHU and elsewhere, traveled to Washington D.C. to participate in the protest. Weaver predicted that about 50,000 people attended
the march and protest, giving more impact to their voices through the

In a recent study conducted by the University
of New Orleans, it was
found that four out of
every five college students consume caffeine
daily.
"Students use the drug
to keep up with the rigorous schedule of college
life, from maintaining a
job to cramming the night
before a major exam,"
said Jill Noren, author of
"Caffeine:
Students'
of
Drug
Choice."
Many students do not
only use the drug to stay
awake when they have an
exam or assignment due
at 8 a.m., but they tend to
also use it in order to just
be active during the day,
for things like classes and
social activities, because
of lack of sleep from the
previous night.
"We use caffeine to
make up for a sleep
deficit that is largely the
result of caffeine," says
neuroscientist and sleep
expert Charles Czeisler.
What students do not

realize, however, is
even though they are getting their work done and
enjoying the activities
that they are participating in, it may not be the
same quality performance that they would be
able to achieve if they did
not have such a high
intake of caffeine. Not to
mention the effects that
going without sleep can
have on your body, as
well as the withdraw
symptoms many experience when they try to
stop using caffeine.
"I know when I decided to stop
as
much soda, for a while I
felt like I had no energy,"
said junior Brian Young.
"But after some time I got
used to it and my energy
levels returned to normal."
Other symptoms of
caffeine withdraw are

These feelings can be

'300' brutalizes box-office, fans thrilled
Laura Theis
Staff Reporter
From the first preview,
"300" was anticipated
with high expectations.
Since "Troy" and "The
Lord of the Rings," cinemas have been without a
thrilling,
epic
action/drama. However,
"300" has filled the void
with phenomenal fight
scenes and even better
drama.
Unlike other movies in
this genre, "300" did not
need big name actors to
boost ratings.
Though
Brad Pitt in "Troy" delivered an exceptional porAchilles,

Orlando Bloom's performance was well under par.
Although "300's" absence
of such super stars could
have been risky, it was
ultimately an outstanding
casting decision.
It was refreshing to
see a movie with such a
good plotline and such
great action that major
stars were unnecessary.
But just because the
actors were not mega

acting was not superb,

perfectly cast movies ever
to hit the theaters; every
actor was perfect for his
or her role and delivered a
memorable performance.
The plotline of "300"
was very simple, yet
entertaining. The movie
follows King Leonidas
(Gerard Butler) of Sparta
and his 300 men through
the Battle of Thermopylae
against Xerxes of Persia.
The Persian army is massive and the Spartans are
dramatically
outnumbered, however, with no
support from the rest of
Spartan
government,
King Leonidas and his
men are left alone to fight
for the freedom of their
country.
The actors in "300"
deserve praise for the
excellent action scenes.
These were far superior to
the usual sword fights in
movies of a similar time
period.
Spartans were taught
to fight from the time
they could walk and the
movie portrayed the 300
men as fighting machines.
They fought as a single
unit and, though they
were surpassed by the
Persians in number, in
skill and strategy they
were in another league.

Faculty songwriter urges

support for competition
Marissa Brunner

When a member of a
small university gains
national recognition for
his accomplishments, it's
only natural that the community rallies around him
with support.
That's what long-time
lyricist Michael "Max"
McGee is hoping will happen. McGee, the Resident
Director of Smith Hall,
has recently been selected
as a Grand Prize winner
in the John Lennon
Songwriters Contest for
his song "Beyond Words,"
which was co-written with
Rolf Schnyder.
In this phase of the
contest, McGee is competing in the country category
against Samantha
King, a recording artist
from Alberta, Canada. If
McGee
accumulates

enough votes for "Beyond
Words," than he will go on
to compete against 12
artists from categories
such as Rock, Pop and
Jazz and Instrumental.
With his recent recognition, McGee has one
simple request of the Lock
Haven University community.
"Vote, vote and vote,"
said McGee.
"I'm up
against someone who is a
recording artist, so she
already has a fan base.
There are 5,000 people on
this campus. If everyone
votes once a day, that
could mean 35,000 votes,
and maybe that will neutralize her fan base."
McGee wants students
and faculty to realize that
they can vote for "Beyond
Words" more than once.
At the contest website,
www.jlsc.com/vote, everyone with access to an email account has the

pcture

opportunity to vote up to
once a day until April 6,
2007. Doing so could significantly
McGee's chances of making it to the Final 12, and
in turn bring recognition
to Lock Haven University.
He also hopes that his
accomplishments will trigger students to realize
that their dreams are
never too far from reach.
"Winning this award
might make some people
realize that they have the
ability to do anything,"
said McGee. "It may take
you 30 years, but you can
do it. Never give up on
what you believe you want
to do."
This is not the first
time McGee has entered
the
John
Lennon
Songwriters Contest. In
2006, his song "Kiss My
Doublewide" made it to
the Top 4 in the Country
Category. Just this year,

or the

Max McGee

Visit
once a day until
April 6, 2007
and vote for
"Beyond Words"
in the Country
Category.
■

"Kiss My Doublewide"
was signed to Dreambird
Publishing in Nashville,
Tennessee.
McGee is not new to
the songwriting scene.
He's been writing lyrics
since the 1970s, and has
written with six different
people in many places
around the world, including Switzerland, Canada
and Colorado.

Michael "Max" McGee, Resident Director and
accomplished lyricist, is merely votes away from
winning the John Lennon Songwriters Contest.
"It's a natural inclination,
I've just always written. I
used to write poetry, and
then I saw a lyric competition and I thought, maybe
I can do this."

A number of McGee's
songs have been consid-

ered by famous recording
artists like Tim McGraw,
Alan Jackson, George
Strait and Randy Travis.
"I've written with
gospel recording artists
and artists with singles in
the top 10," said McGee.

Caffeine fuels

their daily intake of caffeine from coffee, it is not
the only drug that students, as well as busy
people worldwide, consume. Beverages like various colas, hot and iced
teas and energy drinks all
contain varying amounts
of caffeine. Along with
the different beverage
drinks, there are pills
that doctors can prescribe
for people who have trouble staying awake, as well
as ones that are not

As college courses get
more and more time consuming, students are trying to find ways to get
more hours out of their
day. Many wish they had
just a few more hours to
complete assignments,
study for tests and have a
few moments to themselves.
Cutting sleep
time often seems like the
easiest way to have a
longer day, even if it robs
time away from recharging your mind and body.
The easiest, most inexpensive way students
have found for staying
awake is caffeine.
