Guest Writer

The Pennsylvania
Culture Festival, lead
by Dr. Myers and the
Environmental Focus
Group of Lock Haven
University, was held at
the
last
college

Thursday.

Art, music, history,
and tales of old were
given to students and
the community who
were excited to celebrate Pennsylvania's
rich culture.
To kick off the
event, Melissa Becker,
a Pennsylvania fiddling champion, shared

her talents in front of
Russell lawn from 12
p.m. to 1 p.m. Even
with the bell tower providing sufficient distractions, she managed
to impress her audience with her foot tapping tunes.
The event moved
into the PUB from 1
p.m. to 3 p.m. where

students
from
Professor
Hafer's
Pennsylvania Authors
and
Professor
Washington's Creative
Nonfiction classes read
personal stories written about their personal experiences of growing up and learning
essential skills for life
in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania Fireside
Tales.
Fraizer presented a
slide show of pictures
and art to compliment
his stories. The stories
were about his grandold
father as an
logger
Pennsylvania
and the conflict of his
early relatives with the
Native Americans.
He told his stories
with great detail, putting into perspective
the dangers ofthe environment and people
along with the mind set
of Pennsylvanians from

seemed to not be a
problem to the large
attentive crowd enjoying old stories about
their home. He then
accepted and questions
from the audience,
speaking to them oneon-one and signing
copies of his books.
After the readings,
artwork from Jeremiah
Johnson titled "The
Story of Job" were set
up in the back of the
multipurpose room for
visitors
to
exiting
enjoy. Johnson says

the work is from his
alter ego named Job
Johnson, a fictional but
historical artist who
lived
Central
in
from
Pennsylvania
1860 to 1930.
The art was created
with
by
drawing
graphite on hand-made
paper. The pictures
were then placed in
hand-made
frames
made of branches.
Johnson says the he is
"interested in blurring
the lines between fact
and fiction through art,
history, and folklore."
Dr. Myers said that
he
and
the
Environmental Focus
Group of Lock Haven
University have wanted to hold a cultural
event like this in the
past, but things just
didn't fall into place.
As said by Myers, "I
thought we had a great
turnout with all the
events from the music
in the morning, the
poetry and the folklore
in the afternoon and
finally the folklore
tonight. I thought the
audience was substantial and attentive. I
liked the way everything came together."
After the success of
this first event, they
hope to have more in
the future to come.

S.C.C. Executive Board Elects sworn into office for 2010-2011 term

On the evening of
April 21, the S.C.C. held
a Senate Meeting in

that the discussion of a

for Mehrazar to print

abstained from voting.
Not all Senators were

this past Monday.
The event featured
several faculty members addressing the
group on sexual violence awareness and
by sharing personal
stories. The event also
featured
a
walk
around Ivy Lane on
campus to promote the
Women's Coalition and
a stand against sexual

violence.
"The

Women's
Coalition hosted the
Take Back the Night
(TBTN) event in order
to encourage local participation in the global
campaign to end sexual violence," said Dr.
Elizabeth
Gruber,
Associate Professor of
English at Lock Haven
University and the faculty advisor to the
Women's Coalition.
"The

Coalition reaches out
to both women and
men by hosting events

Tierney Ulmer, a sophomore and the treasurer of the Women's
Coalition. "We are also
available for people to
come talk to us and we
do what we can to help
them find the help and
resources they need."
According
to
Gruber,
the
Department of Justice
statistics indicate that
in 2008 more than
222,000 women in the
United States were
raped. On average, a
woman is raped every

"Marches, rallies, and

TBTN are crucial
opportunities to illuminate the pervasiveness
of sexual violence."
"Take Back the

4-8, 1976 in Brussels,
Belgium. Two thousand women representing forty countries
attended
at
The

was the first documented Take Back the

Members of the board
also include: Dr. Nicole
Burkholder-Mosco, Dr.

The HOPE Center's
mission, according to
Gruber, was to be a

"With the establishment of the Campus

The HOPE Center
hosts events for the

relating to gender and
social equity.
The
HOPE Center is also

with the mission of the

"We have had several students volunteer at the HOPE

said
Gruber. "One of the
best ways to get
involved would to be
help us promote events
and encourage attendance and participation at the programs
we host or sponsor."
The HOPE Center
is located in East

G204.
"Take Back the
Night gives us—all of
us, male and female —
the opportunity to
understand how widespread this problem is,
and to transform our
knowledge into action.
Speaking can be a powerful act, but so can listening," said Gruber.
"TBTN encourages all
of us to be mindful of
what
others
have
endured.
But I do
want to emphasize
that a key goal of
TBTN is to help victims feel more empowered. Optimism about
the future, and not
despair over the past,
is the driving impetus
of TBTN."

For

When you get connected, you talk with
that person via Web
cam and IM until
clicks
somebody
"next," and you're
another

person. Pretty wild.
My plan was to sit
through 100 people
and note what I saw,
but as it turned out,
half of those 100
"nexts" I
clicked
were because of the
same reason: male

Persp ectives

Put a harpoon in the
whaling industry
Kaeti Kosinuk
Staff Writer
kkosi nuk « lhup.edu
Whales are an enormous and precious
creature of the sea that
is being forced into
endangerment through
the harm brought on to
them by harpoon hunting. Whales have the
largest brain of any
other animal and are
also revered as the
smartest being able to
compose whale songs
which are far more
complex than any other
human song. Their
song
unfortunately
ends after they are
slaughtered by fisherman.
Harpoon hunting
has been practiced
since 6000 B.C. when
whales were needed as
a necessary food source.
By today's standards,
whale meat is not a
necessary nutrient for
the human body like it
might have been back
in the ancient days. It
was normally used by
people in the arctic
regions for the high fat
content needed for survival.
Today, these creatures of the ocean are

forced to have a slow
and agonizing ending
after having their flesh
punctured by harpoons.
These gentle giants finish off their life in distress and fear as the
throbbing pain fills
their system with nothing that can do to stop
it. Some standard harpoons originally used
were found to be cruel.
This led to the
weapons having explosives in them to in
order to quicken the
death of these animals.
Although the death
process may be sped
up, this does not make
the harm any less
excruciating as the
explosion occurs inside
the whale, blowing up
bits of its organs inside
the body.
Although
some
believe it is just whales
that are brutally slain
in these fashions, it is
shown in the Academy
Award winning documentary "The Cove,"
that dolphins are also
affected by this. 23,000
dolphins are killed each
year due to Japan's
whaling industry. Some
dolphins suffer a worse
fate than the whales
through the use of

knives and spears that
they are cut with on
fishing boats.
With tuna fishing,
some dolphins are
caught in the nets and
at one point were cut
into the tuna meat that
was then packaged and
put on store shelves.
Presently, there are
"dolphin safe" labels on
canned tuna. However,
to
according
Greenpeace, a nonprofit
organization
devoted to environmentalism and tranquility,
it is found that sharks
and other sea animals
are not noted as also
being caught in tuna
nets.
For those that do
not hunt whales, dolphins or any other
water life with harpoons or spears, there
are ways in which one
can serve the sea. Cut
up six pack soda rings
before disposing of
them to prevent animals from
getting
entangled in them.
Never release balloons
into the air because
after they deflate, they
can land in the waters
and animals can ingest
them. One case found
that a 60 foot sperm

whale died after swallowing a balloon which
blocked its stomach
therefore causing it to
starve. Finally, always
remember the three
R's, recycle, reuse and
reduce which will not
only help the ocean, but
the entire planet.
Many animals of the
ocean are affected by
the whale hunting
industry. Like writer
Dave Barry stated,
"The real threat to
whales is whaling,
which has endangered
many whale species."
The United Nations
developed the United
Nations Environment
Program
(UNEP)
which works on the
largest
preservation
organization known as
the Convention on
International Trade in
Endangered Species of
Wild Fauna and Flora
(CITES). Right now
there are 160 governments which remain
true to the convention.
Since the birth of the
treaty, no species under
its protection has been
destroyed. This can
hopefully end the disappearance of animals
forever.

Barnes said this is

a coauthor ofthe study.
With this kind of
development,
Dr.
Donald
Brunnquell,
director of the Office of
Ethics for Children's
Hospitals and Clinics
of Minnesota, said
chronic illness has an
effect on how the adolescents view themselves in everyday life.
"It affects their
social interactions with

friends and family,"
Brunnquell said. "It
affects their image of
themselves, which is in
a constant state of
flux."
Dr. Sarah Jerstad,
child psychologist for
the department of
oncology and hematolat
Children's
ogy
Hospitals, said the
unfamiliarity ofthe situation is another factor
that contributes to the
increased risk of selfharm.
"Kids have not really been exposed to the
system,"
medical
Jerstad said. "It is a
whole new world."
Brunnquell said the
experience of a chronic
illness also takes a
physical toll on the

adolescent.

A physical illness
affects hormonal balance, ability to eat or
sleep and cognitive
abilities, according to
Brunnquell.
"Children can feel
really off-balance with
these kinds of sympBrunnquell
toms,"
said.
Jerstad said that for
all these reasons, her
counseling of children
going through cancer is
crucial.
"It is a preventative
measure," Jerstad said.
"It is a high-risk population, and they are
going through a really
tough treatment."
If a child has a
chronic mental illness
prior to being diagnosed with cancer, it is
important to identify
it, according to Jerstad.
To assess a child's
mental state, Jerstad
said
a
screening

process with the child
and his or her family
occurs at the beginning
of the child's treat-

ment.
After the screening
process, Jerstad said
she either recommends
her services or simply
offers it.
"I just want to let
them know you and
your child are going to
be going through a lot,"
Jerstad said. "It is a
life-changing process."
Barnes said counseling like this is more
effective than medication in decreasing
instances of self-harm,
suicidal thoughts and
suicide.
"They are developing at such fast rates
that they can rewire
their brains pretty
quickly in a positive
way," Barnes said.
Brunnquell said the
cost of this kind of
counseling along with
medical
expensive
treatment contribute to
it not being more common.
"There is a lot of
pressure to reduce
costs in treatment, and
this gets in the way of
making these services
freely
available,"
Brunnquell said.
Regardless of this
cost, Resnick said effective counseling makes
a crucial addition to
the overall quality of
the treatment.
"It distinguishes the
great practitioner from
the good practitioner,"
Resnick said. "One that
knows, despite the
health challenges, we
are still dealing with a
young person."

according to Dr. Andy
Barnes, lead author of
the study and assistant
professor in pediatrics
and adolescent health.
Barnes said chronic
illness affects the
youth in a way that is
unique, and it stands
out from other factors
in the adolescent's
world.
"This is independent, and they contribute cumulative risk
above
and beyond
things like poverty or
coming from a broken
home," Barnes said.
Adolescents going
through a physical
chronic illness like cancer or asthma had
about a 20 percent
increase in self-harm,
suicidal thoughts and
suicide, according to
the published study.
The study showed
that children with only

Barnes.

seniors lucky enough to
get into Cal have been
subjected to two things:
profuse congratulations
and a specific question
from that conservative
authority figure, perhaps a teacher or an
uncle. The question
usually goes like this:
"Berkeley? So you're
going to become a hippie/stoner/hobo now?"
This is usually followed
by a hearty laugh reveling in one's supposed
wit.
I got all the congratulations, but definitely
not the question. The
commentary was far
more
pointed.
My
favorite teacher, who
had gently poked fun at
my political views all
through high school,
chuckled sarcastically,
"Oh, you're going to
have fun with all the
liberals!"
Like many refugees
from communist countries, I've always had a
deep appreciation for
the freedom this great
country affords. This
background has led
many of these refugeesCubans, Vietnamese,
become
Russians-to
committed conservatives. So it was natural
for those who knew my
views to be surprised to
see me matriculate to
Berkeley, a famed bastion of leftism. More
than that, they thought
the political atmosphere here (or at least
the one they imagined)
would be something I

could not tolerate.
In fact, the decision
was
not
difficult.
Berkeley was the best
school I got into and
offered a tremendous
value for the money. (It
really does-far inferior
schools charge as much
in tuition a year as Cal
does in four.) Simple as
that. The politics never
figured into it.
I did think about
that factor-both town
and gown indeed have
a reputation for being
intolerant of dissenting
views, namely conservative ones. I recall
when enraged protesters forced their way
past police barricades,
preventing
Israeli
Prime
Minister
Netanyahu from making a speaking engagement at the Berkeley
Community Theatre. I
remember when eminent
Islamologist
Daniel Pipes had his
lecture on campus disrupted in a vile fashion.
But I also knew that
any reputable university, outside of a few

have differing views if
nobody cares anyway?
As one of my professors, a former Bush 41
speechwriter, told me,
there is no better place
to refine one's political
views than in a hostile

environment.

That argument only
goes so far. I did not
want to go to college to
promote any political
ideology or to "create
change." My goal was
to do well in school, get
my degree and have a
good time while at it. I
knew none of that had
anything to do with pol-

itics.

My freshman year, I
was not disappointed.
Sure, I had talks about
politics with my floormates in the lounge.
Many found my views
alternatively appalling
and humorous. (Some
still fondly recall when
I would, a forty or two
into the night, sing
"Rule Britannia" to
commemorate the lost
glory of British imperialism.) But my politics

Of course, why enjoy spending much

you're somebody who
wants to be especially

find the outlet for that.
Let's go back to that

cracking jokes on how
Berkeley is filled with
hippies and communists. More likely than
not, he is stuck in a

from the '60s. I don't
think everybody was

you won't hear much

activism. But the causes were certainly more
engaging then than
they are today.
Most of the discontent that has fueled
activism
Berkeley
recently stems from
tuition fee hikes. As
unpleasant as they are,
they lack the same ability to galvanize students in the same way
free speech issues, the
Vietnam War and ethnic agitation did in the
'60s. There is just no
issue today that has the
same ability to inspire
apathetic students.
This has been one of
the most politically
active

years
Berkeley's recent history. We've seen rallies,
marches, riots and a
divestment battle. Yet
we can safely say the
spirit of the '60s is
behind us. Instead, we
have a campus where it
is equally easy to get
involved in politics, as
it is to avoid it.

When Lock Haven student Joshua Miller started
looking for someone to direct
a play for Spotlight on
Diversity, he got a hold of
senior Stephanie Reynolds to
direct it. Reynolds was more
than thrilled to direct a play,
something she's always loved
to do. When she then found
out
it
was
Lorraine
Hansberry's 1959 play "A
Raisin in the Sun," it made
her even more excited to
direct it.
"I am a huge fan of
Lorraine Hansberry and I
absolutely love the play and
the movies that followed,"
Reynolds said. "I always
wanted to either direct this
play or act in it and when I
had the opportunity to participate, I couldn't say no!"

The role of Ruth was played

very powerful portrayal. All

"The most rewarding
thing I took from directing

said. "I also have to personally thank Joshua Miller for
all his hard work and believing in me that I could make
this play come alive and put
on a great show. If there was
any advice I needed, he was
there to give it to me and
make suggestions. I don't

of
putting a play together isn't
just before the curtain rises,
it goes on until the final line
is spoken on stage or the
actors take their final stage

closes. It was then when
Reynolds and Miller finally
could take a sigh ofrelief.
"I was so proud of my cast
and I thought that they did a
great job," Reynolds said. "I
was more than happy with
my cast performance. All the
long hours and the stress, in
the end it was simply something to be proud of."

to try to put on for the Lock

end, it all worked out for a
great performance.
Reynolds and Miller
started auditions beginning
the first week of February
and had rehearsals after

three times a week for
roughly an hour each night.
"It was very stressful trying to direct the best play
possible because when it
comes to my work, I am a
perfectionist and I wanted to
make sure that when people
left the theatre, it would be
something positive that they
talked about and something
that they enjoyed," Reynolds
said. "I never want someone
to se my work and think negative of it."
That perfectionist mindset is what helped Reynolds
and her talented cast and
crew to produce a great rendition of "A Raisin in the
Sun."
Diversity play

Music majors performed
an array of pieces in Tuesday
evening's student recitals.
Students took turns climbing
the
stage
Price
in
Performance Center, where
they were met with much
applause for their talent and
hard work.
They played a wide range
of instruments, such as the
xylophone, guitar, piano,
clarinet, trumpet and French
horn, while others sang tenor
and soprano. The performances ranged from classical
music to modern songs and
pieces from popular entertainment. When asked what
preparing for the recital was
like, the general consensus
among students was that
preparation was busy and
took some time.
While some students were
not able to choose the pieces
they performed, others were
given that freedom. One student, Amanda Eriksen, said
she sang, "Sometimes I Feel
Like a Motherless Child"
because she was "looking for
a gospel and Moses Hogan is
a great composer."
The performances ranged
in mood, language and pace.

dark lyrics and love story.
Amidst the modern songs
from the 1900s, there were
also songs that frequently
switched languages from
English to German to Italian.
"Se tu 'ami, se sospiri" was
sung in Italian by Kirstin
Russell and accompanied on
the piano by Rebeccah Leiby.
When asked what preparing
the piece was like for her,
Russel simply said it was
stressful.
The songs by the two final
students contrasted each
other in pace
greatly.
Mozart's
I
"Movement
(Allegro) of the Sonata in C
Major" was fast and snappy.
However, Chopin's "Prelude
in E Minor" helped to conclude the evening well with
its more relaxed pace.
Tuesday's recital provided
many students with the
opportunity they needed to
graduate. The usher said
some students had yet to
meet the number of required
student recitals, and this provided them with an chance to
meet that quota.
Each performer did very
well, and the music department was beyond proud ofthe
students. Be sure to not miss

Ira Fox, a teacher and banker. Together, they moved
to Lock Haven in 1902, buying the building at 106
East Main Street. They lived there for years together, until Ira passed away in 1935.
Mollie and Ira ran businesses and rentals, held
lavish parties at the local armory, and were involved
in the community, especially regarding education.
Mollie, especially, was concerned with the education
of the local children. But when anyone thinks about
Mollie, what they remember most are the clothes.
Mollie loved brightly colored, wild clothing. She was
often seen on Main Street, parading about in bright
red or blue outfits, her slip showing, wearing the
same vivid red hat. By today's standards, the outfits
would be considered decent, even conservative. But
viewed from the thirties and forties, they were scandalous, enough to keep Mollie from winning an election for the school board at one point.
Mollie once confessed to a friend that when she
traveled out of town by train, she carried a more
respectable set of clothes with her. She would
change clothes on the train, to be taken more seriously at the location of her arrival. But in Lock

declaring it her airspace. Finally, the police arrived.
The gun turned out to be useless, a rusted old piece
that wouldn't fire. But Mollie had made her point.

Q. So, what's on

your literary
the week?
A. Sex, Lives of Cannibals by J.
Maarten Troost for Posthumanism,
and the play Fences by August Wilson
for Pennsylvania Authors.

Q. You really seemed to enjoy the
Troost book in Posthumanism on
Tuesday. What's that one about?
A. Have you read this? Just the

back of the book makes it sound
great. His restlessness and lack of
direction...the book is just his trip to
this island in the middle of the equatorial pacific, aka the middle of
nowhere. But intertwined is Troost's
confusion and frustration with life
after he graduates from grad school. I
connect to Troost in a million ways. It
always feels like we spend our lives
chasing after that magical diploma,
but when we get there we wake up
and wonder why we stressed ourselves for so much time. So he ditches
all the plans he made for his future
and heads out to this lonely little
island. Nevermind the fact that it
turns out to be a complete third-world
hell hole. I wish I had that courage.

Q. You're not looking forward to
graduating?
A. I am and I'm not. I've been trying to graduate for five years. It's my

ultimate goal. It's the reason I wake
up, if I wake up, because I have to if I

want to graduate in twelve days. But
I'm terrified of it. I'm terrified to
leave. I'm completely institutionalized. I'm worried that all I've learned
and worked for will amount to nothing. Even though I know the intrinsic
value of it all is worth something, it
still terrifies me. I know I'll make it,
it's just hard to accept some days.

Q. You reading anything for yourselfright now?
A. Technically everything I'm
reading right now is for class, but
that's kind ofwhat happens when you
take four English classes at once.
When I'm done with the semester
though, I'm running to Border's to get
Hugh McLeod's first book How to
Ignore Everybody and 39 Other Keys
to Creativity.
Q. Sounds...interesting. What's it
about?
A. He shares all of his gathered
lifelong secrets on how to balance
being a creative person in the business world, not losing your edge.
Beware of hobbies turning into jobs.
Keep your day job. Riddled throughout are all his "cartoons drawn on the
back of business cards," these sketches full of social commentary. Funny,

owp ng at
the Roxy:

help you improve.

Q. So what are YOU afraid of?

A. Everything. And nothing, all at
the same time. Fear of graduating,
fear of growing up, fear ofresponsibility. Fear of being found out that I'm
a hack, a horrible student, whatever.
Make sure you get the fear of failure
and success. Fear of wasting my life.
And all those other little fears of spiders and ants, too. Should we talk
about what I'm NOT afraid of? While
I'm afraid of all those things, I'm also
not afraid of them. They paralyze me,
but when the time comes to jump, I
always seem to make it and always
seem to land on my feet. It's a very
strange dichotomy.

Q. You
Fear: Observations on the Perils (and
Rewards) of Artmaking by David
Bayles. How come?
A. I'd recommend Writing from the
Inside Out by Dennis Palumbo, too.
One's about art and the other's about
writing, but you can apply them both
to your life. They are written specifically for creative people (artists, writers, whatever) about all the issues we
run headfirst into when we're trying
to do our thing. It doesn't matter
what it is, these irrational fears and
issues that plague us from writer's
block to fear of success...these books
focus on all those thoughts sneaking
around our brains threatening to kill
our creativity, sometimes ones we
never knew we had. When I read the
book about writing, I was making art.
