Kids brave weather for candy
Residence halls host trick-or-treat night for local children

Story ed rounds! In
other words these
kids wanted their candy, and
nothing was stopping them,
not the rain or the snow or the
slightly slippery conditions.
As the Harry Potters, fairy
princesses and of course the
witches, poured into the
Haven
dorms
of Lock
University this past week, students decorated their halls and
handed out candy.
Each dorm was given a
specific day to have trick-ortreaters, the students dressed
up and led small groups
through the decorated halls to
receive their candy. Many
parents felt that this was a
safe and relatively easy way
to allow their children to
trick-or-trcat this year.
In light of recent events in
Maryland and Virginia, many
parents felt a bit uneasy about
allowing their children to
trick-or-treat around town.

Dreaming of a white Halloween?
The issue put before the
October 21 public issues forum
was "what kind of general education should all students
receive?" The forum, hosted
by Dr. Knauer who is the director of the honors program,
began with a brief overview of
the subject and the four alternatives to be discussed.
The forum then broke down
into four small groups to more
deeply discuss and deliberate
the issue and the alternatives
presented. Following the small
group discussion, the forum
reformed in the planetarium to
discuss the findings and present
and compare the ideas brought
up and decided upon by each
individual group.
Some common ground that
the forum agreed upon was the
idea of keeping general education requirements, but having
less structure and allowing the
students to choose which courses they wish to take.
Public Issue Forums are
held each month in the
Planetarium at 6:30pm and run
to 8:30pm. November's issue
will be Racial and Ethnic
Tensions. For more information, check out the Public
Issues Forum web page at

these days of a possible war
with Iraq and a continued fight
For an Art student Zach
Kreider, voting during the elections on November 5th is out of
question. He simply won't do
it. Why? "I don't know anything about candidates. All old
people vote and it seems that
only their votes count because
politics matter more to them."
Kreider's opinion share an
overwhelmingly big number of
the LHU students and, possibly,
other college students nationwide.
The majority of the interviewed students described their
lack of desire to vote due to disinterest, busy schedule and a
simple laziness. If some of
them vote occasionally, trying
to "make the difference," later,
after watching the TV campaigns of the candidates accusing each other of raising taxes,
unemployment and other deadly sins, they give up on trying
and become, as one student put
it, "sickened of them."
So, what's wrong with our
generation? Why are young
people so strangely apolitical in
to
LHU
According
Assistant Professor of History
and Political Science, Dr.
Jeffrey Burnham, there are
three simple reasons. First, the
modern students are turned off
by politics. "Students don't
believe in politicians' promises.
Sometimes promises are not
even targeted on
them,"
Burnham said.
The second reason is that
the students are simply too busy
to vote! "With classes, homework, dating, hobbies, it's overwhelming to be also interested
in politics."
The third reason on why the
college campuses are not raging
in demonstrations and peace
walk aways is that the nature of
issues had been changed.
According to Burnham, the
Vietnam War was not really
close to students until they were
affected by the draft, when they
were drafted or they either
knew someone who was draft-

Eagle Eye
SCC announces credit requirement changes
Nick Malawskey
Staff Reporter
Several issues were raised at
the
Student
Cooperative
Council meeting on Wednesday
October 30 which will directly
affect the student body for the
coming year.
Last Thursday, the Board of
Governors
for
the
Commonwealth
of
Pennsylvania voted to lower the
graduation requirements for the
number of credits required to
graduate to 120. This mandate,
when enacted, will be retroactive for all students enrolled in
State
Universities
after
December. The mandate is
designed to allow students to
graduate after four years of only
15 credits a semester.
Also announced was a plan
to help reduce student overcrowding. The university, in
cooperation with a currently
unnamed third party, is beginning the designing process of a
new off-campus apartment
housing complex similar to
Campus Village. The new housing complex will contain room
for 400 students and construction is planned to be finished by
Fall 2004. While built in conjunction with the University, the
as yet unnamed third party will
operate the housing complex.
Also, in a measure to immediately help curb campus overcrowding, the University is
exploring the possibility of lowering the required number of
credit hours needed to apply for
off-campus housing.
Also raised to the attention
ofthe Council was the slicing of
the Music Department's operating budget by 70%. Senator
David Ney led discussion on the
issue, stating that the cut lowered the current operating budget from 10,000$ to 3,000$. The
department was not appraised of
this cut until recently, and may
find itself in a position of debt
from operating under the
assumption that it's budget
would be the same as last year's.
A new SCC senator of the
month was announced for the
month of September, with
Senator Amanda Green taking
the honors.
The Haven's Activities
Council also announced that
their concert committee questionnaires are being released
this week, to choose the genre of
music that students would most
like to see performed for the
coming spring concert. One
thousand questionnaires are
being released to the student
body and will be collected by
the middle of next week. The
spring concert is tentatively
planned for the end of March or
the first week of April.
In addition, the Senate,
despite an attack over membership rights, ratified the Social
Science Club of Lock Haven
University's constitution.
Jim Manser, former Student
Cooperative Club President and
recent Lock Haven University
graduate, also visited the meeting to show his enthusiasm for
the SCC and programs like it.
Since leaving Lock Haven
University, Mr. Manser has
served as Governor Schweiker's

Think before
von drink
Vi0t|/
Relatively few problem drinkers, about 7% ofthe driving population, account for over 66% of all alcohol related fatal accidents. When drinkers are at the presumed level of intoxication,
the risk of causing an accident is six times greater than for
non-drinking drivers.
Youth Although persons between 16 and 24 years old comprise
only 20% of the total licensed population, and 20% of the total
vehicle miles traveled in this country by all licensed drivers,
they cause 42 percent of all fatal alcohol related crashes.
Economic / Societal Cost. According to a recent Allstate
Insurance Company study, alcohol impaired drivers are estimated to cost American taxpayers $21 - $24 billion dollars per
year. National Geographic recently stated that alcohol abuse
costs American society $136 billion and 65,000 lives annually.

Heather Peterson, one of the
people who helped organize and
lead children through Gross
Hall, said, "I have done this for
five years now and we have
received an especially positive
reaction this year, it is a very
safe place to allow the children
to trick-or-treat."
Professor of Psychology,
Kevin Motrin brought his two
children Riely, 6 and Callan 2.
Professor Morrin said, "The kid
just love this, they have been
excited about it all day, it's just
a really great thing for the
University do."
No only do the kids get into
it, but so do the students. Thc
halls were filled with the eerie
to
tune from Halloween while the
students were dressed up as anything from last minute clothes
swiped from a roommate, to
Halloween costumes bought
from Wallmart. Students were
excited to be able to share the
experience with their friends as
well as see the costumes the
children had on. Freshman
Christin Shiko and Mindy
Bedlyon both dressed up and
put together candy bags for the
trick-or-treaters in Gross Hall.
When asked if they expected
this to be a part of their college
experience they both agreed,
"not at all, we totally didn't
expect this, we might be having
a better time than the kids."
This Halloween was wet,
snowy and bitterly cold, but that
did not put a damper in the least
bit on the festivities held in the
dorm rooms this year. College
kids have to have fun too, and
trick-or-treating in their dorm
rooms is safe and fun.
So, as students scramble to
find last minute costumes and
figure out how they are going to
keep warm in them this snowy
Halloween, the one question we
are all asking is, will the naked
guy show himself this year'?!
Have a safe and Happy
Halloween, The Eagle Eye.

"Our Town" to hit Sloan It's A Jungle Out There!
LOCK HAVEN~"Our Town" is coming to the town of Lock
Haven. The all-American play by Thornton Wilder, prepared by
the University Players will open on Thursday, November 7, at 8
p.m. in Sloan Fine Arts Theatre.
The production promises a few nontraditional twists in casting
and presentation. All details are being kept under wraps, but the
director and the cast promise the audience will be pleased with the
results.
The play is about the lives and times of the citizens ofGrover's
Corners, New Hampshire. It later carries the audience into the
lives of the Gibbs and Webb families, "substantial homes containing substantial folks." It also concerns the courtship of young
George Gibbs and Emily Webb and their wedding. The audience
will also be able to hear the thoughts of the characters and see their
symbolical statement of attitudes that never were verbally
expressed by them in their daily life.
According to the play's director, John Gordon, "Our Town" is
currently in production by many theatre companies all across the
nation. A Broadway production is in the offing as well. Much of
this is related to the tragedy of September 11.
Thornton Wilder is Gordon's favorite American playwright.
"It's like having a conversation with a being on an elevated plane,"
he said. Wilder was especially taken by Asian theatre styles that
used negative space, pantomime, and Zen-thought.
"Our Town" will be performed on November 7, 8,9,14, 15 and
16 at 8 p.m. in Sloan Fine Arts Theatre. The play is free for LHU
students; $5 for adults; $3 for high school students and senior citizens.

oils techniques used in parachui-
ing before actually pcifornting
their first jump.
Most of the «jumps at airborne school arc performed
from an altitude of 1,200 feet,
which is considerably lower
than what a civilian skydivcr
might jump from. "Military
parachuting... involves getting
men and materials to tlte ground
as quickJy as possible, meaning
no frills, just hurtling to the
ground slow enough to prevent
serious injury (minor injury is
fine, though)," said Thoman.
"Army parachutists can have up
to 95 pounds of combat equipment weighing them down,
accelerating their descent and
adding to an already high impact
upon landing."
Upon completion of the
course, each student was awarded a set of silver wings, to be
worn proudly upon Uwir uniforms. However, for Thoman
and Wright, it wasn't for the sil

experience.

Playing God...will it go both ways?
Krista Rompolski
Staff Reporter
"1 am God." This was the
message sent by the sniper who
for weeks terrorized the
Washington D.C. area. Whether
this man believes he is God or
not, he certainly played the part
by randomly selecting people to
die with no apparent motive
against the victim. He imitated
lightning; whoever happened to
be in the right spot at the wrong
time was struck.
Now that the authorities
have caught this madman, a fundamental question arises...how
should be punished? A battle is
going to rage between the states
where the crimes were committed, and the federal judicial sys-
where the sniper will
be
sentenced.

The argument over whether

one perspective, if the sniper felt
that he could play God, then we

After thinking about this for quite a long time, I finally concluded that he
should dress up as the one and only Bill Gates. No one on campus will understand this one, unless you're a journalism major, and then you'll see the amusement. You see, Bill Gates is the evilest, most disgusting human being on the face
of the earth, or at least he is in the eyes of a certain mass communications professor. That is why I chose Dooley for this position.
Bill Gates is a sneaky man. He includes things in his computer programs just

Relax. It 11 only be Dooley.
For Halloween, I think that Jess should be a munchkin
from "The Wizard of Oz." Why a munchkin? Well, let me
explain. I was going to say the Wicked Witch of the West,
but then I realized that she's not green and she's not mean enough to be wicked.
Then I thought maybe the Good Witch ofthe East, but if I'm going to be Bill
Gates, I had to come up with something at least a little demeaning for her.
You see, Jess is really short. I mean, REALLY short. I never
really noticed before until I was talking to her on Saturday and
she only came up to about my knees. Just kidding. She isn't that
small, but if she's 5'2" I'd be surprised.
For anyone who knows her, you have to admit that if you put
a silly dress on her and lollipop in her mouth, she be the splitting
image of those little munchkins. Then have her run around
going, "follow the yellow brick road," and you can't even tell me that you would
know the difference.
Also, she has a kind of squeaky voice. So when she's trying to help Dorothy
in the quest to find the Wizard, it would sound EXACTLY like the actual
munchkins in the movie! It would be great.

Availability is Everything...
It amazes me the responses
and comments I receive from
writing letters to the Eagle Eye.
At times I ask myself if it's even
worthwhile to write about the
things I'm writing about if I get
the responses I get. But I think
I've realized something. Does it
matter? If a hundred people
think it's totally foolish and only
one person is positively affected, it was worth my time to sit
down and write it. I write to that
one person listening. As for the
ones who want to just argue like
Mr. Sellers two weeks ago, that's
fine. He'sallowed his viewpoint
and I'll listen. But again, I write
to that one person listening and
overlook the rest of the trouble
in doing so.
I recently felt led to write
about a subject that all college
students face. It is a question
that many freshmen will change
their view on. It's a question
that I feel is the most important
question anybody could ask
themselves, "Where am I going
after I leave this earth?"
I want to focus my attention
on a common response that I
hear from many university students. It was my view about two
or three years ago. It's been said
many times, "Well, I'm a good
person, I don't do this or that. I
am not a murderer or rapist or
anything like that." Because I
used to think this, I understand
the point of view. But I have a
problem with it when I look at a
particular chapter in the bible.
The chapter that comes to
mind is in Luke. There are two
men praying to God. The first
man prayed "God, I thank you
that I am not as bad of a sinner
as this guy beside me. I thank
you that I do not do the things he
does." Meanwhile, the second
man prayed "God, be merciful to
me, for I am a sinner." In this
chapter, one man realized his
need for God; the other thought
he was ok. Think of it this way.
It is the same thing as somebody
in the year 2002 saying, "I'm not
as bad as a murderer, I don't sin
that bad," or "I'm not as bad as
somebody who cheats, steals,
and causes a lot of trouble."
Though it may feel comforting
and assuring that a person is
secure because they don't murder, or don'trape, or don't sin "as
bad as another" you can bank on
it that it's a lie. I'll explain why.
The new age idea that a person is good in COMPARISON
to another person or group of
people is a lie. Though a person
may seem good in comparison
to a murderer or thief, Jesus and
the scriptures have told us that
God does not judge you in comparison to other people. He
doesn't compare you to a murderer or thief. He compares you
to himself. And simply enough,
that comparison is perfection.
Perfection. God judges all of us
by his perfect standard...perfection. That in itself is discouraging. The sad fact is that we are
all in trouble because we cannot
meet the perfect standard. As
hard as 1 may try and as hard as
you may try, we'll all fall short
(Romans 3:23). Nothing can
take us to that perfect standard.

ignore everything but his basic
human needs, and occasionally
allow him to take a lap in the
yard, what message does that
send about the value of those
lives lost at his hands?
1 believe that it is the
responsibility of the prison sys"tem to make a sincere effort to
destroy the evil and sickness
inside people like the sniper. If
we kill him, the evil dies with
him, but so does the possibility
of good. I simply can't imagine
that a person is born bad or evil;
therefore, good can still be cultivated, or at least an effort made
to do so. The best goals in life
are usually the hardest to
achieve. It's time to give those
wardens a real challenge.
Nothing can link us to the perfect standard except one person.
The good news of the whole
thing is that the purpose of Jesus
coming to earth was to meet the
perfect standard. When a person
accepts Jesus into their heart and
repents, they're linked to his perfection. Because of what he did
on the cross, you meet the perfect standard. Because of what
he did.
Because of him.
Because of his working.
Therefore we have nothing
to offer God. All we can do is
follow. In fact, that's all he
asks us to do, follow, and let
him do the work. Our workings and our ability mean nothing to him. He could care less
about our ability and our workings. He just wants us to follow him. That's it. God asks
for our availability, not our
ability. I challenge any who
are listening to push "ability"
aside and open your door of
"availability" so that God can
change your life. I can make a
promise to you. If and when
you accept Jesus and make
yourself available for him to
work in you, your life will be
amazingly changed. In fact,
don't take it just from me. Take
it from the millions of people
that it has happened to. God
wants to work through you and
give you joy. He says he wants
to give you joy overflowing.
He's just waiting for people to
open up and make themselves
available.
Sincerely,
Bryan Patton

noticed for our positive actions. someone does not clean up after
themselves? Should they be
grounded from their friends and
banished to their room? It seems
ridiculous to revoke something
totally unrelated to the crime.
Which brings me to my final
point. If there is a robbery in
downtown New York, do the
police round up everyone in
Times Square and throw them in
jail simply because no one came
forward to fess up to their
actions? No, they investigate.
They ask around until they get a
lead. They interrogate until
someone fesses up. They don't
arrest the entire population to
pay for his crime.
This form of punishment is
the easy way out for the authorities. Their hands are clean, and
they did not have to do any
investigation into the crime. All
they have to do is punish everyone in a ridiculous manner, and
then hope that they get angry
enough with the true perpetrator
and find their own ways to justly compensate for their collec-
,
tive misery.
The only problem with this
system is in the fact that if this
continues, the citizens will
become disillusioned about the
integrity of their leaders. They
will appear aloof and unconcerned about the welfare of
those under them. Their position
will appear unnecessary if they
are constantly requiring their
subjects to seek out and punish
themselves.
So how do they avoid this
embarrassment? People should
not judge a group simply
because they are a group. They
need to stop putting predetermined bias ahead of their openminded judgment and just give
these newcomers the chance
they deserve.
They must find a new
approach to their reproach. They
must think of a more conventional way to deal with problems
in order to avoid creating contempt for themselves.

cell phone, the airplane, the zipper is made possible by technology. We know that technology is a wonderful thing. But at
what point does technology go
too far? Is it fair to say that cell
phones, if used thoughtfully and
politely, are OK, but that if a
person attaches an earpiece
thingy and walks around shouting in public, bystanders should

I think we all agree that the
answer is: Yes. When technology goes too far, ordinary citizens
must take action. But the question is: How do we define "too
far?" I will tell you. We define
"too far" as "when scientists
start putting weapons on cockroaches."
_
_
This is actually happening,
according to an article in the
Sept. 6 issue of Science magazine, brought to my attention by
alert reader Richard Sweetman.
This
article
states that
at
researchers
the University of
California at Berkeley have been
"mounting tiny cannons on the
backs of cockroaches." That is
correct: These researchers have
been outfitting live cockroaches
with backpacks containing
"plastic tubes filled with explosives."
Of course the researchers
have a scientific reason for
doing this: They are on LSD.
No, really, it has something
to do with figuring out how
cockroaches have such good
balance. (You almost never see a
cockroach fall off* a bicycle.)
The researchers have used their
findings to construct a working
robot roach that is, according to
Science, the size ofa breadbox.
Swell! If there's anything this
world needs more than armed
cockroaches, it's giant mechanized cockroaches!
NEWSPAPER
STORY
FROM THE YEAR 2004: "A
homeowner in Santa Rosa,
Calif., was found shot to death in
his kitchen Friday. Police said
the man apparently was felled by
500 rounds of small-bore cannon fire, mostly in his ankles,
indicating that this was the work
of the gang of armed research
cockroaches that escaped from a
Berkeley lab. Police said the
motive in the slaying was apparently a Ring Ding. In a related
development, an escaped robot
cockroach broke into an
Oakland Wal-Mart and made off
with an estimated 17,000 AA
batteries."
Ask yourself: Is that the kind
of story you want to read in your
newspaper? Me too, as long as
it's California.
No, seriously, this is bad. We
need somebody in authority to
look into this right away. Maybe
Dick Cheney could handle it.

lately. Small wonder, when you
think about it.
We have lived 20 years of
relative tranquillity not perfect peace, because there is no
such thing, but a time that was,
by comparison, quiet. It was a
period in which crime fell, the
Berlin Wall crumbled, income
rose and our darkest fears were
suddenly banished to the world
of fiction. Terror became a
thing with which we titillated
ourselves in the multiplex or
the Tom Clancy novel, knowing the credits would roll or the
book would end and the threat
would be proved not quite real.
We mistook a respite from
fear for an escape.

Repossessed: If you prefer your Halloween with a bit of a more humorous tinge, watch this absolutely hilarious spoof of The Exorcist. Not exactly extremely Halloweenish in theme, but any movie that has Leslie

worth a decent look.

take the kids' song Frere Jacques, fool around with it a little, and use it as a funeral march in the third movement of his first symphony has to be worth a listen, preferably right before you lay yourself down to sleep in

Stephen King: My advice: If your R.A. will let you or if you live off campus, build a campfire in the middie of your room, turn out the lights, and start reading from IT or Different Seasons or The Stand or The
Shining. If you don't get a chill up your spine, it is reasonable to assume that you have no spine!

Editor in Chief
College campuses across
Pennsylvania have one or more
buildings that are known to be
haunted by some sort of ghost.
For a little clarity, a ghost is
defined as the soul of a dead person believed to be an inhabitant
of the unseen world or to appear
to the living in bodily likeness,
to
Webster's
according
Dictionary.
Lock Haven University, like
many other universities in
Pennsylvania and around the
country, has its share of ghost
stories.
In Sloan Fine Arts Center
there is said to be a presence of
three different ghosts. They have
not been encountered by many,
but the myth and rumors are still
spread across campus about
being haunted by the ghosts of
Sloan.
The first ghost is a very
calming woman draped in white.
She is seen mostly in the mainstage theater on the first floor of
Sloan.
The second is a feeling of a
curious child usually found in
the Countdown Theater on the
third floor. This ghost is not
seen, but its presence is strongly
felt.
Junior Alison Lines recalls
an experience she had when she
was practicing for a play in the
Countdown Theater. "We were
all upstairs practicing for a play
I did as a freshman, "A Girls
Guide to Chaos," and we were
joking about how there was supposedly a ghost in the theater, all
of the sudden all of the lights
went out and everyone started
flipping out. Finally somebody
went to the back and fixed the
whole problem, but it was really
spooky."
The third is a black, fasting
moving blur of a spirit that is
said to be very menacing.
Russell Hall is also said to
have a ghost. Her name is Mary
and hung herself from the bell
tower, and has been haunting
Russell Hall ever since.
Much like Lock Haven, several other universities in
Pennsylvania have been known
to have ghosts.
At Penn State, the ghost of a
mule haunts the Watts Hall dormitory. The mule, known as Old
Coaly, was one of the original
pack mules that worked to build
the university in the 1850's.
When Coaly died his remains
were preserved and displayed in
the Old Main Building. Fire
destroyed this building and his
remains were then restored in
the basement of Watts Hall. He
has been reported standing in the
hallway outside the storage
room in Watts Hall, sometimes
his noisy braying is heard coming from behind the locked door.
Another haunted spot on the
PSU campus is in Runkle Hall.
In the fall of 1994, a scene of
poltergeist activity happened in
a third-floor room. A resident
assistant reported that her lights
went on and off, loud banging
sounds were heard and her mattress and pillow were rising and
falling in a regular pattern.
The

Also on the ESU campus, the
Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity
House an apparition of an
unidentified owner whose ashes
are entombed in one of the fireplaces has been seen. And, a
ghost named Margie has
harassed the Sigma Pi bothers
staying in a third-floor room of
the fraternity house ever since it
was remodeled in the 1960s. A
cremation urn was found hidden
between the plaster walls and
accidentally spilled on the floorboards.
At Kutztown University the
spirit of Mary Snyder haunts the
central administration building.
Old Main. A student at the university, Mary died of heart failure in a fifth-floor room, just
days before her graduation in
June of 1895.
According to Hollow Hill
website, most ghosts are seen by
people between the ages of eight
and 25, and these people do not
usually know that the ghosts are
using them as an energy source.
Because of this free energy, this
makes college campuses a very
likely place for ghosts to be

The Eagle Eye
After seeing Jackass: The
Movie, I have absolutely no
trouble understanding why the
rest of the world hates us. This
movie is the one film that sums
up all that is disgusting, repulsive, and wrong about American
culture and society. The fact
that I think I actually liked the
movie was a fact that made my
conscience guilty the entire
weekend after I saw it.
The "plot" of the movie, as it
were, is familiar to any fan of
the recently cancelled MTV
show and can be succinctly
summed up in about three
words: men behaving dumbly.
Before this movie, I had a certain hopeful, but (I thought) not

and thoroughly disabused of
the notion that man in general
has even a modicum of native
intelligence. Rather, it proved to
me why women will someday
inherit the earth.
However, for all of this useless madness, there is still a
place in my heart that actually
enjoyed this movie (how this
reflects on my sanity is quite
unknown to me). The men in

Johnny
Knoxville, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O,

seem to be missing a few pieces

is not exactly a genius level
thing to do. As much as I regretted buying the popcorn that I
(unwisely) bought along with
this movie and as much as I
winced at some of the stunts
(usually while muttering some
variant of "Oh no. No, NO,
THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY
GOING TO DO THAT.'") I also
must say that I laughed at this
movie more than I have laughed
at any movie in quite some time.
It must be remembered that, in
this movie, we're not watching
saints, sinners, or artists, but
holy fools.
Jackass: The Movie is somewhat comparable to a group of
people on Weight Watchers
placed face to face with a box of
chocolate truffles: they know
that they'll hate themselves in
the morning for indulging their
sweet tooth, but oh, it'll sure feel
good going down. Go see it if
you say you must, but make sure
you don't eat any food whatsoever for a full 24-48 hours
before seeing it.. That is, unless
(for some unaccountable reason
that only Johnny Knoxville &
Co. would understand) you really want to.
Halloween than to sit back and
watch a truly classic horror
movie with some friends, or perhaps that special someone? So,
in order to facilitate this truly
epic endeavor, I have thoughtfully created a list of the top ten
greatest horror movies ever cre-
ated. So, without further ado,
Number 10: "The Texas
Chainsaw Massacre".
First
released in 1974, this cult classic
follows an encounter of canni-
bals by five twenty-something
kids in rural Texas. Featuring
the lovable and ever so friendly
Leatherface, this movie is not
for the squeamish or the feint of
heart.
9:
Number
Alfred
Hitchcock's "The Birds" (1963),
which is a classic tale of man vs.
nature and the horrible consequences of feeding pigeons
Tylenol.
Number 8: "Child's Play"
(1988) is an ingenious tale of a
doll coming to life and running
amok killing random people.
"Child's Play" is a scary little
tale of death and destruction that
eventually went on to spawn
three sequels with a fourth to be
released in 2004.
Number 7: "IT" (1990),
which isn't really scary unless
night.
Number 2: A rather excellent underground film that I
doubt few people have heard of.
It is without a doubt a definitive
Halloween film, which once
seen never leaves the minds of
its viewers alone. That film is
the one the only, "Dead Alive"
(1992). This film comes all the
way from New Zealand, and features an all star New Zealand
cast that I'm sure you've never
heard of. It is however, one of
the greatest and perhaps bloodiest movies ever made.
Number 1: And now for the
and it seems a new one is
released every year.

Number 5: "Hellraiser" ever made for the silver screen.

probably going to develop a fear

children and you want to scare
them permanently for life, this is
the film to watch with them.

The human body is strong.

I know that almost every athlete
I plays a sport simply for the .
love ofthe game regardless of the risks ofinjury, but when athletes
! are faced with serious injuries, they must look past the game and
• think about the long-term effects ofthe injury.
Professional athletes are exempt from the discussion because
■ they get paid to run their bodies into the ground.
Love ofthe sport or not, injuries such as torn ACL's and repeat|

In the case of a star player, the coach or teammates may be less

championships are involved. That's where doctors, trainers, and parents need to be the voice ofrea• son. Doctors love injuries, because if they didn't happen they'd be out ofbusiness. That means, no
■ matter how severe the injury, doctors will fix it and let you go out and risk further injury.
Athletes don't make rational decisions on their own. Take for example the tragic deaths of a

I out on impressing the coaches. It's a real shame that players will literally kill themselves to play.
I It's no one's fault except for the coaching staff that imposes stringent practice schedules and condemns players for sitting plays out to drink fluids and rest their bodies.
I guess most athletes will just say that injuries are a part ofthe game and they are, but think about
your future? Think about when you have kids and want to teach them to play the game you love, but
• you can't walk because your knees are shot, or the arthritis in your elbow is so bad you can't play
■ catch with your kid...that is a real shame.
Sports and their athletes are what make the world go round, and if it weren't for the big hits and
twisted
body parts, there wouldn't be instant replay. The fact is that athletes need to show some

Now as junior, I have torn my other ACL at soccer practice and am awaiting surgery.
A lot of people have come to me asking whether or not I am going to come back and risk doing
it again because 1 "do have to walk on these things" for the rest of my life.
I honestly did think that maybe it wasn't worth it. But when I thought about coming back to j

The way 1 look at it is: after I am finished here, that's it. So I have one more year ofcompeti- j

Now these are just my knees. People who sustain serious head injuries might be a different story.
A head injury isn't something to take lightly. But some people still go out and take that risk. It's a
personal choice, but in the end, it's their duty to face the consequences.
I'm not saying athletes should risk their lives for their sport. All I am saying is sometimes from ■
the athlete's eyes, it isn't easy to just walk away. If you walk away because ofan injury and sit there j

The women's swim team
kicked off their season at the
Mansfield Relays invitational
meet by breaking two school
records, three pool records
and qualifying for PSAC's in
two events.
"Our team
is small, with
only nine swimmers, but we
have already started out doing
great things," commented
head coach George "Bart"
Garlick.
Freshman Tatiana
Patakyoua left behind quite a
wake in the 300 yard butterfly
and 400 yard freestyle relays.
She broke two school records
and two pool records with her
split times of 59.57 seconds
in the 100 yard butterfly and
54.35 seconds in the 100 yard
freestyle. These times also
qualify her for the PSAC conference meet at the end of the
season.
"Because I already qualified for PSAC's, I'd like to
qualify for nationals. And
after I find out the qualifying
times for my Slovakian
Olympics team, I'd like to see
if I'm able to do that, too,"
said Patakyoua.
The Bald Eagle 400 yard
freestyle relay of Patakyoua,
Wendi Cerra, Cindy Smoker
and Sara McLure broke a
pool record with a time of
3:50.89. This event was one
of three that the Bald Eagles
won. The team of Kristen
Maksinchuk, McLure and
Patakyoua placed first in the
300 yard backstroke relay
with a time of 3:14.23, leading the way by a long seven
seconds. Patakyoua, Cerra,
Smoker and McLure won the
200 yard freestyle relay with
a time of 1:44.21 and a shorter lead of two and a half seconds.
Overall, the women placed
fourth out of five teams at the
invitational.
"We really feel positive in
the direction the team is headed in their training. They bodies are tired right now and
that's good," said Sarah
Duttera, assistant coach.
The Bald Eagles will face
East Stroudsburg at home on
Sat., Nov. 2 for their first
dual meet of the season.

nothing was stopping them,

As the Harry Potters, fairy

of Lock
University this past week, students decorated their halls and
handed out candy.
Each dorm was given a
specific day to have trick-ortreaters, the students dressed
up and led small groups
through the decorated halls to
receive their candy. Many
parents felt that this was a
safe and relatively easy way
to allow their children to
trick-or-trcat this year.
In light of recent events in
Maryland and Virginia, many
parents felt a bit uneasy about
allowing their children to
trick-or-treat around town.

The issue put before the
October 21 public issues forum
was "what kind of general education should all students
receive?" The forum, hosted
by Dr. Knauer who is the director of the honors program,
began with a brief overview of
the subject and the four alternatives to be discussed.
The forum then broke down
into four small groups to more
deeply discuss and deliberate
the issue and the alternatives
presented. Following the small
group discussion, the forum
reformed in the planetarium to
discuss the findings and present
and compare the ideas brought
up and decided upon by each
individual group.
Some common ground that
the forum agreed upon was the
idea of keeping general education requirements, but having
less structure and allowing the
students to choose which courses they wish to take.
Public Issue Forums are
held each month in the
Planetarium at 6:30pm and run
to 8:30pm. November's issue
will be Racial and Ethnic

these days of a possible war
with Iraq and a continued fight
For an Art student Zach
Kreider, voting during the elections on November 5th is out of
question. He simply won't do
it. Why? "I don't know anything about candidates. All old
people vote and it seems that
only their votes count because
politics matter more to them."
Kreider's opinion share an
overwhelmingly big number of
the LHU students and, possibly,
other college students nationwide.
The majority of the interviewed students described their
lack of desire to vote due to disinterest, busy schedule and a
simple laziness. If some of
them vote occasionally, trying
to "make the difference," later,
after watching the TV campaigns of the candidates accusing each other of raising taxes,
unemployment and other deadly sins, they give up on trying
and become, as one student put
it, "sickened of them."
So, what's wrong with our
generation? Why are young
people so strangely apolitical in
to
LHU
According
Assistant Professor of History
and Political Science, Dr.
Jeffrey Burnham, there are
three simple reasons. First, the
modern students are turned off
by politics. "Students don't
believe in politicians' promises.
Sometimes promises are not
even targeted on
them,"
Burnham said.
The second reason is that
the students are simply too busy
to vote! "With classes, homework, dating, hobbies, it's overwhelming to be also interested
in politics."
The third reason on why the
college campuses are not raging
in demonstrations and peace
walk aways is that the nature of
issues had been changed.
According to Burnham, the
Vietnam War was not really
close to students until they were
affected by the draft, when they
were drafted or they either
knew someone who was draft-

SCC announces credit requirement changes
Nick Malawskey
Staff Reporter
Several issues were raised at
the
Student
Cooperative
Council meeting on Wednesday
October 30 which will directly
affect the student body for the
coming year.
Last Thursday, the Board of
Governors
for
the
Commonwealth
of
Pennsylvania voted to lower the
graduation requirements for the
number of credits required to
graduate to 120. This mandate,
when enacted, will be retroactive for all students enrolled in
State
Universities
after
December. The mandate is
designed to allow students to
graduate after four years of only
15 credits a semester.
Also announced was a plan
to help reduce student overcrowding. The university, in
cooperation with a currently
unnamed third party, is beginning the designing process of a
new off-campus apartment
housing complex similar to
Campus Village. The new housing complex will contain room
for 400 students and construction is planned to be finished by
Fall 2004. While built in conjunction with the University, the
as yet unnamed third party will
operate the housing complex.
Also, in a measure to immediately help curb campus overcrowding, the University is
exploring the possibility of lowering the required number of
credit hours needed to apply for
off-campus housing.
Also raised to the attention
ofthe Council was the slicing of
the Music Department's operating budget by 70%. Senator
David Ney led discussion on the
issue, stating that the cut lowered the current operating budget from 10,000$ to 3,000$. The
department was not appraised of
this cut until recently, and may
find itself in a position of debt
from operating under the
assumption that it's budget
would be the same as last year's.
A new SCC senator of the
month was announced for the
month of September, with
Senator Amanda Green taking
the honors.
The Haven's Activities
Council also announced that
their concert committee questionnaires are being released
this week, to choose the genre of
music that students would most
like to see performed for the
coming spring concert. One
thousand questionnaires are
being released to the student
body and will be collected by
the middle of next week. The
spring concert is tentatively
planned for the end of March or
the first week of April.
In addition, the Senate,
despite an attack over membership rights, ratified the Social
Science Club of Lock Haven
University's constitution.
Jim Manser, former Student
Cooperative Club President and
recent Lock Haven University
graduate, also visited the meeting to show his enthusiasm for
the SCC and programs like it.
Since leaving Lock Haven
University, Mr. Manser has
served as Governor Schweiker's

Think before
von drink
Vi0t|/
Relatively few problem drinkers, about 7% ofthe driving population, account for over 66% of all alcohol related fatal accidents. When drinkers are at the presumed level of intoxication,
the risk of causing an accident is six times greater than for
non-drinking drivers.
Youth Although persons between 16 and 24 years old comprise
only 20% of the total licensed population, and 20% of the total
vehicle miles traveled in this country by all licensed drivers,
they cause 42 percent of all fatal alcohol related crashes.
Economic / Societal Cost. According to a recent Allstate
Insurance Company study, alcohol impaired drivers are estimated to cost American taxpayers $21 - $24 billion dollars per
year. National Geographic recently stated that alcohol abuse
costs American society $136 billion and 65,000 lives annually.

Heather Peterson, one of the
people who helped organize and
lead children through Gross
Hall, said, "I have done this for
five years now and we have
received an especially positive
reaction this year, it is a very
safe place to allow the children
to trick-or-treat."
Professor of Psychology,
Kevin Motrin brought his two
children Riely, 6 and Callan 2.
Professor Morrin said, "The kid
just love this, they have been
excited about it all day, it's just
a really great thing for the
University do."
No only do the kids get into
it, but so do the students. Thc
halls were filled with the eerie
to
tune from Halloween while the
students were dressed up as anything from last minute clothes
swiped from a roommate, to
Halloween costumes bought
from Wallmart. Students were
excited to be able to share the
experience with their friends as
well as see the costumes the
children had on. Freshman
Christin Shiko and Mindy
Bedlyon both dressed up and
put together candy bags for the
trick-or-treaters in Gross Hall.
When asked if they expected
this to be a part of their college
experience they both agreed,
"not at all, we totally didn't
expect this, we might be having
a better time than the kids."
This Halloween was wet,
snowy and bitterly cold, but that
did not put a damper in the least
bit on the festivities held in the
dorm rooms this year. College
kids have to have fun too, and
trick-or-treating in their dorm
rooms is safe and fun.
So, as students scramble to
find last minute costumes and
figure out how they are going to
keep warm in them this snowy
Halloween, the one question we
are all asking is, will the naked
guy show himself this year'?!
Have a safe and Happy
Halloween, The Eagle Eye.

"Our Town" to hit Sloan It's A Jungle Out There!
LOCK HAVEN~"Our Town" is coming to the town of Lock
Haven. The all-American play by Thornton Wilder, prepared by
the University Players will open on Thursday, November 7, at 8
p.m. in Sloan Fine Arts Theatre.
The production promises a few nontraditional twists in casting
and presentation. All details are being kept under wraps, but the
director and the cast promise the audience will be pleased with the
results.
The play is about the lives and times of the citizens ofGrover's
Corners, New Hampshire. It later carries the audience into the
lives of the Gibbs and Webb families, "substantial homes containing substantial folks." It also concerns the courtship of young
George Gibbs and Emily Webb and their wedding. The audience
will also be able to hear the thoughts of the characters and see their
symbolical statement of attitudes that never were verbally
expressed by them in their daily life.
According to the play's director, John Gordon, "Our Town" is
currently in production by many theatre companies all across the
nation. A Broadway production is in the offing as well. Much of
this is related to the tragedy of September 11.
Thornton Wilder is Gordon's favorite American playwright.
"It's like having a conversation with a being on an elevated plane,"
he said. Wilder was especially taken by Asian theatre styles that
used negative space, pantomime, and Zen-thought.
"Our Town" will be performed on November 7, 8,9,14, 15 and
16 at 8 p.m. in Sloan Fine Arts Theatre. The play is free for LHU
students; $5 for adults; $3 for high school students and senior citizens.

ing before actually pcifornting
their first jump.
Most of the «jumps at airborne school arc performed
from an altitude of 1,200 feet,
which is considerably lower
than what a civilian skydivcr
might jump from. "Military
parachuting... involves getting
men and materials to tlte ground
as quickJy as possible, meaning
no frills, just hurtling to the
ground slow enough to prevent
serious injury (minor injury is
fine, though)," said Thoman.
"Army parachutists can have up
to 95 pounds of combat equipment weighing them down,
accelerating their descent and
adding to an already high impact
upon landing."
Upon completion of the
course, each student was awarded a set of silver wings, to be
worn proudly upon Uwir uniforms. However, for Thoman
and Wright, it wasn't for the sil
ver badge that they went to airborne school; it was for the
experience.

Playing God...will it go both ways?
Krista Rompolski
Staff Reporter
"1 am God." This was the
message sent by the sniper who
for weeks terrorized the
Washington D.C. area. Whether
this man believes he is God or
not, he certainly played the part
by randomly selecting people to
die with no apparent motive
against the victim. He imitated
lightning; whoever happened to
be in the right spot at the wrong
time was struck.
Now that the authorities
have caught this madman, a fundamental question arises...how
should be punished? A battle is
going to rage between the states
where the crimes were committed, and the federal judicial sys-
where the sniper will
be
sentenced.

What does this man really
deserve?
The argument over whether
or not this man should be put to
death contradicts itself. From
one perspective, if the sniper felt
that he could play God, then we
(the government) should do the
same to him (eye for an eye...).

would most likely sleep better at

After thinking about this for quite a long time, I finally concluded that he
should dress up as the one and only Bill Gates. No one on campus will understand this one, unless you're a journalism major, and then you'll see the amusement. You see, Bill Gates is the evilest, most disgusting human being on the face
of the earth, or at least he is in the eyes of a certain mass communications professor. That is why I chose Dooley for this position.
Bill Gates is a sneaky man. He includes things in his computer programs just
to make your life a living hell. Little sneaky shortcuts here and there, and sometimes even the much-dreaded "blue screen of death." Sometimes

Dooley also kind of looks like Bill Gates; they're both rather

Relax. It 11 only be Dooley.
For Halloween, I think that Jess should be a munchkin
from "The Wizard of Oz." Why a munchkin? Well, let me
explain. I was going to say the Wicked Witch of the West,
but then I realized that she's not green and she's not mean enough to be wicked.
Then I thought maybe the Good Witch ofthe East, but if I'm going to be Bill
Gates, I had to come up with something at least a little demeaning for her.
You see, Jess is really short. I mean, REALLY short. I never
really noticed before until I was talking to her on Saturday and
she only came up to about my knees. Just kidding. She isn't that
small, but if she's 5'2" I'd be surprised.
For anyone who knows her, you have to admit that if you put
a silly dress on her and lollipop in her mouth, she be the splitting
image of those little munchkins. Then have her run around
going, "follow the yellow brick road," and you can't even tell me that you would
know the difference.
Also, she has a kind of squeaky voice. So when she's trying to help Dorothy
in the quest to find the Wizard, it would sound EXACTLY like the actual
munchkins in the movie! It would be great.

Availability is Everything...
It amazes me the responses
and comments I receive from
writing letters to the Eagle Eye.
At times I ask myself if it's even
worthwhile to write about the
things I'm writing about if I get
the responses I get. But I think
I've realized something. Does it
matter? If a hundred people
think it's totally foolish and only
one person is positively affected, it was worth my time to sit
down and write it. I write to that
one person listening. As for the
ones who want to just argue like
Mr. Sellers two weeks ago, that's
fine. He'sallowed his viewpoint
and I'll listen. But again, I write
to that one person listening and
overlook the rest of the trouble
in doing so.
I recently felt led to write
about a subject that all college
students face. It is a question
that many freshmen will change
their view on. It's a question
that I feel is the most important
question anybody could ask
themselves, "Where am I going
after I leave this earth?"
I want to focus my attention
on a common response that I
hear from many university students. It was my view about two
or three years ago. It's been said
many times, "Well, I'm a good
person, I don't do this or that. I
am not a murderer or rapist or
anything like that." Because I
used to think this, I understand
the point of view. But I have a
problem with it when I look at a
particular chapter in the bible.
The chapter that comes to
mind is in Luke. There are two
men praying to God. The first
man prayed "God, I thank you
that I am not as bad of a sinner
as this guy beside me. I thank
you that I do not do the things he
does." Meanwhile, the second
man prayed "God, be merciful to
me, for I am a sinner." In this
chapter, one man realized his
need for God; the other thought
he was ok. Think of it this way.
It is the same thing as somebody
in the year 2002 saying, "I'm not
as bad as a murderer, I don't sin
that bad," or "I'm not as bad as
somebody who cheats, steals,
and causes a lot of trouble."
Though it may feel comforting
and assuring that a person is
secure because they don't murder, or don'trape, or don't sin "as
bad as another" you can bank on
it that it's a lie. I'll explain why.
The new age idea that a person is good in COMPARISON
to another person or group of
people is a lie. Though a person
may seem good in comparison
to a murderer or thief, Jesus and
the scriptures have told us that
God does not judge you in comparison to other people. He
doesn't compare you to a murderer or thief. He compares you
to himself. And simply enough,
that comparison is perfection.
Perfection. God judges all of us
by his perfect standard...perfection. That in itself is discouraging. The sad fact is that we are
all in trouble because we cannot
meet the perfect standard. As
hard as 1 may try and as hard as
you may try, we'll all fall short
(Romans 3:23). Nothing can
take us to that perfect standard.

ignore everything but his basic
human needs, and occasionally
allow him to take a lap in the
yard, what message does that
send about the value of those
lives lost at his hands?
1 believe that it is the
responsibility of the prison sys"tem to make a sincere effort to
destroy the evil and sickness
inside people like the sniper. If
we kill him, the evil dies with
him, but so does the possibility
of good. I simply can't imagine
that a person is born bad or evil;
therefore, good can still be cultivated, or at least an effort made
to do so. The best goals in life
are usually the hardest to
achieve. It's time to give those
wardens a real challenge.
Nothing can link us to the perfect standard except one person.
The good news of the whole
thing is that the purpose of Jesus
coming to earth was to meet the
perfect standard. When a person
accepts Jesus into their heart and
repents, they're linked to his perfection. Because of what he did
on the cross, you meet the perfect standard. Because of what
he did.
Because of him.
Because of his working.
Therefore we have nothing
to offer God. All we can do is
follow. In fact, that's all he
asks us to do, follow, and let
him do the work. Our workings and our ability mean nothing to him. He could care less
about our ability and our workings. He just wants us to follow him. That's it. God asks
for our availability, not our
ability. I challenge any who
are listening to push "ability"
aside and open your door of
"availability" so that God can
change your life. I can make a
promise to you. If and when
you accept Jesus and make
yourself available for him to
work in you, your life will be
amazingly changed. In fact,
don't take it just from me. Take
it from the millions of people
that it has happened to. God
wants to work through you and
give you joy. He says he wants
to give you joy overflowing.
He's just waiting for people to
open up and make themselves
available.
Sincerely,
Bryan Patton

noticed for our positive actions. someone does not clean up after
themselves? Should they be
grounded from their friends and
banished to their room? It seems
ridiculous to revoke something
totally unrelated to the crime.
Which brings me to my final
point. If there is a robbery in
downtown New York, do the
police round up everyone in
Times Square and throw them in
jail simply because no one came
forward to fess up to their
actions? No, they investigate.
They ask around until they get a
lead. They interrogate until
someone fesses up. They don't
arrest the entire population to
pay for his crime.
This form of punishment is
the easy way out for the authorities. Their hands are clean, and
they did not have to do any
investigation into the crime. All
they have to do is punish everyone in a ridiculous manner, and
then hope that they get angry
enough with the true perpetrator
and find their own ways to justly compensate for their collec-
,
tive misery.
The only problem with this
system is in the fact that if this
continues, the citizens will
become disillusioned about the
integrity of their leaders. They
will appear aloof and unconcerned about the welfare of
those under them. Their position
will appear unnecessary if they
are constantly requiring their
subjects to seek out and punish
themselves.
So how do they avoid this
embarrassment? People should
not judge a group simply
because they are a group. They
need to stop putting predetermined bias ahead of their openminded judgment and just give
these newcomers the chance
they deserve.
They must find a new
approach to their reproach. They
must think of a more conventional way to deal with problems
in order to avoid creating contempt for themselves.

cell phone, the airplane, the zipper is made possible by technology. We know that technology is a wonderful thing. But at
what point does technology go
too far? Is it fair to say that cell
phones, if used thoughtfully and
politely, are OK, but that if a
person attaches an earpiece
thingy and walks around shouting in public, bystanders should
be allowed to snatch the wire
and sprint off down the airport
concourse, with the shouter's

shouter's detached ear, bouncing

I think we all agree that the
answer is: Yes. When technology goes too far, ordinary citizens
must take action. But the question is: How do we define "too
far?" I will tell you. We define
"too far" as "when scientists
start putting weapons on cockroaches."
_
_
This is actually happening,
according to an article in the
Sept. 6 issue of Science magazine, brought to my attention by
alert reader Richard Sweetman.
This
article
states that
at
researchers
the University of
California at Berkeley have been
"mounting tiny cannons on the
backs of cockroaches." That is
correct: These researchers have
been outfitting live cockroaches
with backpacks containing
"plastic tubes filled with explosives."
Of course the researchers
have a scientific reason for
doing this: They are on LSD.
No, really, it has something
to do with figuring out how
cockroaches have such good
balance. (You almost never see a
cockroach fall off* a bicycle.)
The researchers have used their
findings to construct a working
robot roach that is, according to
Science, the size ofa breadbox.
Swell! If there's anything this
world needs more than armed
cockroaches, it's giant mechanized cockroaches!
NEWSPAPER
STORY
FROM THE YEAR 2004: "A
homeowner in Santa Rosa,
Calif., was found shot to death in
his kitchen Friday. Police said
the man apparently was felled by
500 rounds of small-bore cannon fire, mostly in his ankles,
indicating that this was the work
of the gang of armed research
cockroaches that escaped from a
Berkeley lab. Police said the
motive in the slaying was apparently a Ring Ding. In a related
development, an escaped robot
cockroach broke into an
Oakland Wal-Mart and made off
with an estimated 17,000 AA
batteries."
Ask yourself: Is that the kind
of story you want to read in your
newspaper? Me too, as long as
it's California.
No, seriously, this is bad. We
need somebody in authority to
look into this right away. Maybe
Dick Cheney could handle it.

poned the movie because fantasy had been overtaken by reality. That seems to happen a lot
lately. Small wonder, when you
think about it.
We have lived 20 years of
relative tranquillity not perfect peace, because there is no
such thing, but a time that was,
by comparison, quiet. It was a
period in which crime fell, the
Berlin Wall crumbled, income
rose and our darkest fears were
suddenly banished to the world
of fiction. Terror became a
thing with which we titillated
ourselves in the multiplex or
the Tom Clancy novel, knowing the credits would roll or the
book would end and the threat
would be proved not quite real.
We mistook a respite from
fear for an escape.

Repossessed: If you prefer your Halloween with a bit of a more humorous tinge, watch this absolutely hilarious spoof of The Exorcist. Not exactly extremely Halloweenish in theme, but any movie that has Leslie
Nielsen dressed up like Michael Jackson and hurling projectile vomit at students in a lecture hall has to be
worth a decent look.
Ozzy Osbourne: Between Iron Man, Paranoid, Nativity in Black, Crazy Train, Bark at the Moon, and War
Pigs, Ozzy Osbourne practically sang the bloody soundtrack for Halloween. Forget The Osbournes; go back
to the reason why Ozzy is Ozzy: his monumentally morbid, grotesque, dark, grinding, and yet surprisingly
party inducing rendition ofrock and roll.
Gustav Mahler: I don't exactly expect anyone to agree with this one being that Gustav Mahler was a

take the kids' song Frere Jacques, fool around with it a little, and use it as a funeral march in the third movement of his first symphony has to be worth a listen, preferably right before you lay yourself down to sleep in
the deep, pitch darkness.
Stephen King: My advice: If your R.A. will let you or if you live off campus, build a campfire in the middie of your room, turn out the lights, and start reading from IT or Different Seasons or The Stand or The
Shining. If you don't get a chill up your spine, it is reasonable to assume that you have no spine!

College campuses across
Pennsylvania have one or more
buildings that are known to be
haunted by some sort of ghost.
For a little clarity, a ghost is
defined as the soul of a dead person believed to be an inhabitant
of the unseen world or to appear
to the living in bodily likeness,
to
Webster's
according
Dictionary.
Lock Haven University, like
many other universities in
Pennsylvania and around the
country, has its share of ghost
stories.
In Sloan Fine Arts Center
there is said to be a presence of
three different ghosts. They have
not been encountered by many,
but the myth and rumors are still
spread across campus about
being haunted by the ghosts of
Sloan.
The first ghost is a very
calming woman draped in white.
She is seen mostly in the mainstage theater on the first floor of
Sloan.
The second is a feeling of a
curious child usually found in
the Countdown Theater on the
third floor. This ghost is not
seen, but its presence is strongly
felt.
Junior Alison Lines recalls
an experience she had when she
was practicing for a play in the
Countdown Theater. "We were
all upstairs practicing for a play
I did as a freshman, "A Girls
Guide to Chaos," and we were
joking about how there was supposedly a ghost in the theater, all
of the sudden all of the lights
went out and everyone started
flipping out. Finally somebody
went to the back and fixed the
whole problem, but it was really
spooky."
The third is a black, fasting
moving blur of a spirit that is
said to be very menacing.
Russell Hall is also said to
have a ghost. Her name is Mary
and hung herself from the bell
tower, and has been haunting
Russell Hall ever since.
Much like Lock Haven, several other universities in
Pennsylvania have been known
to have ghosts.
At Penn State, the ghost of a
mule haunts the Watts Hall dormitory. The mule, known as Old
Coaly, was one of the original
pack mules that worked to build
the university in the 1850's.
When Coaly died his remains
were preserved and displayed in
the Old Main Building. Fire
destroyed this building and his
remains were then restored in
the basement of Watts Hall. He
has been reported standing in the
hallway outside the storage
room in Watts Hall, sometimes
his noisy braying is heard coming from behind the locked door.
Another haunted spot on the
PSU campus is in Runkle Hall.
In the fall of 1994, a scene of
poltergeist activity happened in
a third-floor room. A resident
assistant reported that her lights
went on and off, loud banging
sounds were heard and her mattress and pillow were rising and
falling in a regular pattern.

Also on the ESU campus, the

ghost named Margie has

staying in a third-floor room of
the fraternity house ever since it
was remodeled in the 1960s. A
cremation urn was found hidden
between the plaster walls and
accidentally spilled on the floorboards.
At Kutztown University the
spirit of Mary Snyder haunts the
central administration building.
Old Main. A student at the university, Mary died of heart failure in a fifth-floor room, just
days before her graduation in
June of 1895.
According to Hollow Hill
website, most ghosts are seen by
people between the ages of eight
and 25, and these people do not
usually know that the ghosts are
using them as an energy source.
Because of this free energy, this
makes college campuses a very
likely place for ghosts to be

After seeing Jackass: The
Movie, I have absolutely no
trouble understanding why the
rest of the world hates us. This
movie is the one film that sums
up all that is disgusting, repulsive, and wrong about American
culture and society. The fact
that I think I actually liked the
movie was a fact that made my
conscience guilty the entire
weekend after I saw it.
The "plot" of the movie, as it
were, is familiar to any fan of
the recently cancelled MTV
show and can be succinctly
summed up in about three
words: men behaving dumbly.
Before this movie, I had a certain hopeful, but (I thought) not

me why women will someday

(unwisely) bought along with
this movie and as much as I
winced at some of the stunts
(usually while muttering some
variant of "Oh no. No, NO,

must say that I laughed at this
movie more than I have laughed
at any movie in quite some time.
It must be remembered that, in
this movie, we're not watching
saints, sinners, or artists, but
holy fools.
Jackass: The Movie is somewhat comparable to a group of
people on Weight Watchers
placed face to face with a box of
chocolate truffles: they know
that they'll hate themselves in
the morning for indulging their
sweet tooth, but oh, it'll sure feel
good going down. Go see it if
you say you must, but make sure
you don't eat any food whatsoever for a full 24-48 hours
before seeing it.. That is, unless
(for some unaccountable reason
that only Johnny Knoxville &
Co. would understand) you really want to.
Halloween than to sit back and
watch a truly classic horror
movie with some friends, or perhaps that special someone? So,
in order to facilitate this truly
epic endeavor, I have thoughtfully created a list of the top ten
greatest horror movies ever cre-
ated. So, without further ado,
Number 10: "The Texas
Chainsaw Massacre".
First
released in 1974, this cult classic
follows an encounter of canni-
bals by five twenty-something
kids in rural Texas. Featuring
the lovable and ever so friendly
Leatherface, this movie is not
for the squeamish or the feint of
heart.
9:

Alfred
Hitchcock's "The Birds" (1963),
which is a classic tale of man vs.
nature and the horrible consequences of feeding pigeons
Tylenol.
Number 8: "Child's Play"
(1988) is an ingenious tale of a
doll coming to life and running
amok killing random people.
"Child's Play" is a scary little
tale of death and destruction that
eventually went on to spawn
three sequels with a fourth to be
released in 2004.
Number 7: "IT" (1990),
which isn't really scary unless
night.
Number 2: A rather excellent underground film that I
doubt few people have heard of.
It is without a doubt a definitive
Halloween film, which once
seen never leaves the minds of
its viewers alone. That film is
the one the only, "Dead Alive"
(1992). This film comes all the
way from New Zealand, and features an all star New Zealand
cast that I'm sure you've never
heard of. It is however, one of
the greatest and perhaps bloodiest movies ever made.
Number 1: And now for the

Number 5: "Hellraiser" ever made for the silver screen.

He Said...
The human body is strong.
| But it can only take so much
| torture, like the serious injuries
I many athletes face. Now I
I know that almost every athlete
I plays a sport simply for the .
love ofthe game regardless of the risks ofinjury, but when athletes
! are faced with serious injuries, they must look past the game and
• think about the long-term effects ofthe injury.
Professional athletes are exempt from the discussion because
■ they get paid to run their bodies into the ground.
Love ofthe sport or not, injuries such as torn ACL's and repeat|
| ed concussions are a very serious matter and when a person's
I future or life is on the line, the people around the athlete need to
I step in and address the risks involved in continuing to play.
!
In the case of a star player, the coach or teammates may be less
| willing to talk someone out of playing, especially if playoffs or
championships are involved. That's where doctors, trainers, and parents need to be the voice ofrea• son. Doctors love injuries, because if they didn't happen they'd be out ofbusiness. That means, no
■ matter how severe the injury, doctors will fix it and let you go out and risk further injury.
Athletes don't make rational decisions on their own. Take for example the tragic deaths of a
i
| Northwestern University and a University of Florida football player in which they were dangerous| ly dehydrated from the heat of training camp, yet didn't seek help because they didn't want to miss
I out on impressing the coaches. It's a real shame that players will literally kill themselves to play.
I It's no one's fault except for the coaching staff that imposes stringent practice schedules and condemns players for sitting plays out to drink fluids and rest their bodies.
I guess most athletes will just say that injuries are a part ofthe game and they are, but think about
your future? Think about when you have kids and want to teach them to play the game you love, but
• you can't walk because your knees are shot, or the arthritis in your elbow is so bad you can't play
■ catch with your kid...that is a real shame.
Sports and their athletes are what make the world go round, and if it weren't for the big hits and
twisted
body parts, there wouldn't be instant replay. The fact is that athletes need to show some
|
| responsibility and accountability for what their doing and how itmight affect their future in sport and
I in life.

Now as junior, I have torn my other ACL at soccer practice and am awaiting surgery.
A lot of people have come to me asking whether or not I am going to come back and risk doing
it again because 1 "do have to walk on these things" for the rest of my life.
I honestly did think that maybe it wasn't worth it. But when I thought about coming back to j
j
school and not playing, it seemed impossible.
The way 1 look at it is: after I am finished here, that's it. So I have one more year ofcompeti- j

Now these are just my knees. People who sustain serious head injuries might be a different story.
A head injury isn't something to take lightly. But some people still go out and take that risk. It's a
personal choice, but in the end, it's their duty to face the consequences.
I'm not saying athletes should risk their lives for their sport. All I am saying is sometimes from ■
the athlete's eyes, it isn't easy to just walk away. If you walk away because ofan injury and sit there j
everyday missing the sport, you probably made the wrong decision. So what if you have to do a lit- |
tie rehab, you'll survive. Like I said before, it's part of the game.

A few minutes into the
second half, Chuck "Glory

wing to score in the corner of
the try zone and missed the
kick 19-12 in favor of LHU.
ESU would then return the
favor with another wellplaced kick and pick up for a
try and conversion tying the
score at 19.
This lit a fire under the
LHU squad and Keller broke
through the defense to score
another try and the conversion was made, making the
score 26-19.
ESU again answered the
call with their hooker stealing
the ball from the Haven about
five meters out and running
in for the try, but failed to tie
the game with a conversion.

Helsman took advantage of

The women's swim team
kicked off their season at the
Mansfield Relays invitational
meet by breaking two school
records, three pool records
and qualifying for PSAC's in
two events.
"Our team
is small, with
only nine swimmers, but we
have already started out doing
great things," commented
head coach George "Bart"
Garlick.
Freshman Tatiana
Patakyoua left behind quite a
wake in the 300 yard butterfly
and 400 yard freestyle relays.
She broke two school records
and two pool records with her
split times of 59.57 seconds
in the 100 yard butterfly and
54.35 seconds in the 100 yard
freestyle. These times also
qualify her for the PSAC conference meet at the end of the
season.
"Because I already qualified for PSAC's, I'd like to
qualify for nationals. And
after I find out the qualifying
times for my Slovakian
Olympics team, I'd like to see
if I'm able to do that, too,"
said Patakyoua.
The Bald Eagle 400 yard
freestyle relay of Patakyoua,
Wendi Cerra, Cindy Smoker
and Sara McLure broke a
pool record with a time of
3:50.89. This event was one
of three that the Bald Eagles
won. The team of Kristen
Maksinchuk, McLure and
Patakyoua placed first in the
300 yard backstroke relay
with a time of 3:14.23, leading the way by a long seven
seconds. Patakyoua, Cerra,
Smoker and McLure won the
200 yard freestyle relay with
a time of 1:44.21 and a shorter lead of two and a half seconds.
Overall, the women placed
fourth out of five teams at the
invitational.
"We really feel positive in
the direction the team is headed in their training. They bodies are tired right now and
that's good," said Sarah
Duttera, assistant coach.
The Bald Eagles will face
East Stroudsburg at home on
Sat., Nov. 2 for their first
dual meet of the season.
