New millennium hopes to cease racial problems
Jen Koskey

Eagle Eve Staff Reporter
As the new millennium approaches,
Dr. Reverend Jamal-Harrison Bryant
like many others is looking towards the
future as a way to stop the problems of
the past, by ending racism.
In a lecture given Wednesday night,
Dr. Reverend Jamal-Harrison Bryant,
National Youth and College Director of
the NAACP, discussed racism and the
plight ofthe civil rights movement in
today's society in a lecture titled, "The
State of the Movement."
Taj Brown introduced Bryant and
Joe Dawkins, a Penn State Student,
who began the program. Dawkins introduced the topic of racism with a poem
that used McDonald's as its target
metaphor, such as "McAmerica" "orders of racism," and "by the way can I
have that super-sized?" The poem invited others to "join with me as we get on
our knees..."

W infected every day U jj
On World AIDS Day, the University ofTexas community has an
opportunity to memorialize those who have died from the disease
and to raise awareness about the scope of the epidemic and ways to
prevent its further spread.
Ironically, this year's day of remembrance offers few things to
celebrate-the rate of HIV infection in the United States has
dropped to its lowest level in
years, and new medications are
allowing those infected with
the virus to live longer and
healthier lives.
Unfortunately at a time
when the epidemic is declining
in our own country and the
sight ofred ribbons at celebrity
galah has become so ubiquitous that it barely merits mention, the risk of becoming complacent and forgetting that
AIDS is still a global and outof-control epidemic becomes
very real.
It's estimated that 50 million people worldwide are infected with the virus, 2.6 million of
whom will die of it this year since the epidemic has surfaced.
Many developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa,
are literally being devastated by the infects ofAIDS-in some areas,
one in five is HIV positive.
And while education about the disease and medical advances
have slowed, its progression domestically, the numbers are still tragically large. The statistics for college students' are even more alarming. An estimated one in 500 college students has HIV.
In recognition ofWorld AIDS Day many universities distributed
red ribbons and information about HIV prevention. Throughout the
year many schools offer free AIDS testing, provide educational program and support service for many students.
The efforts of health centers everywhere are commendable, but if
attention to the epidemic continues to remain a concern merely of
public health officials and those in high risk groups, then World
AIDS Day could find a permanent place on calenders just as Thanksgiving or Christmas does.

Eagle Eye Reporter
Because many offices have recently been moved to the first floor
of Russell Hall, a new electronic security system has been implemented in the building.
The new unit, called the ProxCard System, is a magnetic lock system controlling the doors, which can only be accessed when a person's entry card is waved in front of the electronic reader on the door.
When the electronic reader authorizes the entry card, the doors are
demagnetized and opened.
All ofthe doors in Russell Hall are connected to the system and
cannot be opened from the outside without an entry card called ProxCard II. This card is different from student IDs.
Every student in Russell Hall has a ProxCard II. If the card is
lost, the access code for that particular card can be deactivated so that
no one else can use it. There is a ten-dollar fee to issue a new entry
card to students.
Besides Russell Hall residents the only other people that have entry cards are the Resident Director, Maintenance, and Law Enforcement. The security system is in conjunction with Russell Hall's fire
alarm system.
Last year several offices in Sullivan Hall were moved to the first
floor of Russell Hall. Because more people were going to be coming in and out ofRussell, the University decided to purchase the security system.
The new system was purchased from Best Access Systems in the
summer but wasn't activated until mid-October so that the students
could get used to the new magnetic system on the doors.
One Russell Hall resident, Stacey Kapp, said of the ProxCard
System, "They're annoying because its an extra set of keys. You
have to take your keys everywhere."
She said the new system is especially annoying because you need
to take the card with you when you go to the laundry room.
Nicole Axtell, also a Russell Hall resident, said she wishes the security system would be turned offwhen students return from a break
because it is a hassle to carry around the card when trying to move

your stuff back in. Axtell did agree that while she does find it a hassle, she feels safe because of the new security system.
Although Amy Dun agreed that the new system was a good idea,
she wondered why it was necessary to have the security system and
have students show their student ID cards at the desk.
Even before desk hours at Russell, anyone without a ProxCard is
unable to get up to second and third floor rooms.
A few of the students said they were annoyed that they had to
come downstairs every time one of their friends wanted to come over.
Kapp said, "You can't have random visitors."
According to Dwayne Allison, director of Student Life on campus, as far as he knows, there have been no technical problems with
the system and if all goes well in Russell Hall, this system, or perhaps a newer version, will be used in all the dorms on campus at a
later time.

time. During the first week of the semester, KDR
had an article on our adoption of a young boy in
Columbia. This article was placed in thc middle of
the paper, which is fine, but it is a shame to see how
one small incident involving police and a fraternity is placed on the front page. Many fraternities and
sororities do many good things for the community,
as well as the university. KDR has been involved
in many community services such as Movers and
Shakers, adopt-a-highway, and running security for
the wrestling event held in Thomas Field House. I
know for a fact that the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority
(AST), does a Rock-a-thon every year to help raise
money for the Women's Crisis Center here in Lock
Haven. I admit that some fraternities and sororities
need to do more public relations, but then when
there are good publicized they are usually pushed
to the middle of the paper, rather than being on the
front page. I must thank you for your time in reading this letter and I must state that all of the opinions voiced in this article are mine alone and do not

November 19th, I felt I should say something.

In the twelfth paragraph it states that I give the
choice of either giving the characters a chance or
we should move on with our rehearsal. The mistake
here is that I justtell the senior actor Taylor that we
should give the Characters a chance and that we
have plenty of time to rehearse the King Stag later.
Finally, this article states that the backstage is
shown through a mirror. In truth, the area behind
the mirror represents the actual scene in which the
characters act out their drama. The backstage is actually in the very back of the theater behind the
stage, and is not seen by any of the audience. It
would be great if the writers of the article would
listen a little closer and ask questions before they
print such an article. I laughed a lot when I read
this article, but after the front-page article on

"Sleepy Hollow" may not be a sleeper, Cool Diggs: From introverted teen
but it doesn't leave audiences sleepless to Tokyo Disney ham to actor stud

One ofthe strongest thematic elements in Tim Burton's latest film, "Sleepy Hollow," is perception and how we can incorrectly perceive something as
what it is not. It is ironic that this
idea should weigh so heavily in
Burton's film, because whether
or not you enjoy this film will
largely depend on what ideas
you have going into it.
Most of us are familiar with
the story here: The residents of
Sleepy Hollow (which turns out
to be in upstate New York) are
terrorized by the presence of a
headless horseman who rides
about the woods at night, decapitating whomever he sees fit.
Burton's adaptation of the
tale, based on the short story by
Washington Irving, is a rather
loose one. Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp), the main character, is
a New York City constable here
rather than the sniveling schoolmaster from Irving's tale. As a
reprimand from his superiors for
his unconventional ideas about
crime-solving, he is sent to
Sleepy Hollow to investigate the
recent murders of three of the
town's most prominent citizens.
Upon his arrival, he finds himself entranced by Katrina Van
Tassel (Christina Ricci), the
daughter ofthe town's wealthiest
citizen. He is also up to his neck
(no pun intended) in corpses.
It sounds scary enough, but
"Sleepy Hollow" is relatively
devoid of suspense. The horror
here is provided by the cartoonish gore of the beheadings,
which are graphic and frequent.
Some ofthem are morbidly funny though, making this film
more akin to any one ofthe "Evil
Dead" movies than to "Silence
of the Lambs." Still, the shock
element wears thin after a while,
especially ifyou're expecting to
be truly frightened by this film.

Sadly, this film's biggest

The truth is that the Walt Disney animated version ofthe tale,

story. Walker's Hollywood ending cannot compare with the end

Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO — Here are a few relevant points
about Taye Diggs:
You're most likely to know who he is if you
have an appreciation for the male physique and
have seen "How Stella Got Her Groove Back"
(Diggs as steamy young Jamaican lover), or if you
caught this spring's teen-flick-on-ecstasy "Go"
(Diggs as tantric-sex aficionado) or the summerfall African-American wedding double-feature of
"The Wood" (Diggs as groom) and "The Best
Man" (Diggs as title character in the movie that
opened Oct. 22).

But aside from his gleaming smile, as long as he
keeps his shirt on, you wouldn't know you were in
the presence of a sex symbol.
He grew up in Rochester, N.Y, as the oldest of
five kids and now lives in New York City. His first
name actually is Scott, but after a friend's uncle
started calling him Scott-taye when he was in college, Diggs let the name stick.
His first New York job was as a host at Pizzeria Uno on the Upper East Side. He worked as a
performer at Toyko Disney. He was a regular on
the soap opera "The Guiding Light." He played the
evil landlord Benny in the original Broadway production of"Rent" and is still dating Idina Menzel,
who played the lesbian performance-artist in the
show. When he got his role in "Stella," he stripped
and streaked through the mostly empty Nederlander Theatre, where "Rent" was playing.
He has completed three movies since "The
Best Man," including "House on Haunted Hill,"
which opened last Friday. In town earlier this
month to promote "The Best Man," Diggs was
laid-back cool as he recalled his progression from
introverted teen to actor stud who still takes his
craft more seriously than his image.

cool, (laughs)
Q. — How did you wind up in two straight
wedding movies?
Diggs — I guess you could say it was accidental. Both scripts are actually very diverse: "The
Wood" focuses on the young people's story, coming ofage, whereas "The Best Man" is a grown
folks' movie. Adult situations, problems. I was
drawn to both scripts at different times so it just
turned out to work out that way.

Media Madness
BUT, MY TIME IS UP, JUDGE
Timothy Marshall, who had been locked up for
a 15-year stretch in Florida for cocaine trafficking,
escaped in 1987 and remained at large for nine
years before being recaptured and sent back to jail.
He has now petitioned for immediate release on the
grounds that his sentence would have been up by
now. Marshall, 39, who by the way represented
himself, included in his calculations the time he
was on the lam. The request was denied.

WE SAID WE'D HAVE NO SECRETS
Thomas Rossi thought he had a happy 25-year
marriage, but, three years ago, his wife, Denise,
won a $1.3 million California lottery jackpot and
immediately divorced him, failing to mention her
newfound wealth. Turns out, she wasn't all that
happy. Anyhow, Thomas, 65, found out about the
dough when a document to "lottery winners" was
mailed to his house, so he took his 49-year-old exwife back to court. Citing fraud or malice, the irate
judge ordered her to give all the money to her exhubby: $66,800 a year for 20 years.
OOHHHH, YESSSS, YESSS

A 40-year-old phone sex operator complained

that she developed carpal tunnel syndrome by constantly stimulating herself as she engaged clients

A SADDER NOTE
The actress who gave voice to the female characters on "South Park" is an apparent suicidevictim. Mary Kay Bergman, who brought to life Ms.
Cartman, Kenny's mom, and Wendy Testaburger,
died of a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head
on Nov. 11, according to the L.A. County Coroner's office. Her husband, Dino Andrade, found
her body at their home in L.A. Bergman, who was
38, left two suicide notes, police said. A "South
Park" spokesman said the show's creators, Trey
Parker and Matt Stone, were too upset to make a
statement and were "mourning privately."

While his female fans plot to cure him of his
condition, his brother, singer Julio Jr., is said to
have upset his dad with his recent interview with
Next, a New York City gay weekly.
,
Julio Jr. told writer Jay Jimenez that he is "definitely" straight.
"I really love women," he said, adding that if
he ever decided that he was gay, "I would never
hide it.
"I feel like I have a million gay friends. Gays
are the nicest guys you'd ever want to sing for."
A family friend tells us Julio's muy macho father went ballistic when he read the interview and
"wanted to know why he said those things."

Since opening in January 1996, The
Pennsylvania State University's Brycc Jordan Center has established itself as one ofthe

o

premier venues in the country for entertain-

ment, athletic, academic, trade, and conference events.
There are millions of outdoor enthusiasts

that live in the Keystone region and the
amount of outdoor activities that are available to residents and visitors of this state are
limitless.
Located in the heartland of Pennsylvania,
The Pennsylvania Hunting, Fishing and Outdoor Show is a showcase of what thc outdoors have to offer.

Guns, guitars and grizzly bears
No, this is not thc latest country and western song to grace the
charts, but just a recurring
thought process I had over the
past holiday break.
I saw my very first living
bear in the wild. Luckily for my
car and the bear, all was seen in
a safe manner while traveling
through Cowan's Gap State
Park.
It really was quite memorable as I drove past the hairy

creature.

any statistics about the number
of deer in this area, but there
must be a direct correlation to

food or shelter,

I may just be getting old and
realizing that the longer I wait to
start these types of things, the
harder it will be to do them. But
the twist I have on these types of
things is that I would like to do
them well into retirement.
I'm planning to learn different languages like Hebrew to

I'm one of the few and the
proud, Clearfield branch campus
alums that made the frequent trip
through Clearfield county, well
known for its wilderness and

hunting. I had never seen the levels of wildlife around there as I

have this year, especially in this
area. I know that the state regulates the number of tags that go

bought for me last Christmas.
It may seem a bit strange that
I own two and don't even play,
but someday I hope to be able to
keep up with my good friend
Brad Dally.
He already has a couple years
on me, but I'm determined, because there is nothing better than
sitting around a campfire and
playing for hours.
Learning to do something
brand new, in the past two or
three years has been something
of a developing philosophy for

how many you see near the roads
and the number of hunters. I
can't imagine that such an overabundance of hunters are forcing
the deer out of their areas.
Like I said earlier, this year
seems to be abnormal, so habitat

can't be that much of a factor to
keep them moving on to find

in hunting theory.

The other aspect to the title

this week is one that I've been
contemplating for quite a while.

I really would love to learn to

play the guitar.
I'm hoping to get the time to
do just that, once I get a job. The
ability to use my free time for
something other than school
work should help.
I actually own two different
acoustic guitars. The first was
one that I bought over a year ago
and
the second is
an

way things were.
It's just something like that,
that I hope will always present a
challenge in my life. Yes, I know
what you're thinking and I
would be the first to agree, life
has enough trials without you
adding more onto it.
One of the verses from thc
Bible that really encourages me
to keep on testing and stretching
myself, is "be focused and know
the testing of your faith develops
perseverance, so that you will
not lack anything." Testing yourself and overcoming the seemingly impossible will only make
you more complete and ultimate-

ly happy.
If not from thc biblical roots,
the logical nature of the notion
makes perfect sense.
Pick yourself up on your
worst day here at LHU and firmly believe that there is a better
day around the corner. If not for
who you are right now, do it for
the person you will become.

Elliston named PSAC Men's
Cross Country Coach of the Year
Men's Cross Country Head
Coach Mark Elliston has been
chosen by his peers as the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Men's Cross Country
Coach of the Year after leading
his team to their best finish at the
conference championships since
1968.
Elliston, in his ninth year at
the helm of the Bald Eagles,
guided his team to runner-up
honors at the PSAC Championships in October, missing
champion Edinboro University
by a mere two points. In addition, for the first time in school
history, four Bald Eagles finished in the top ten and earned
All-PSAC honors.
At the NCAA Division II

East Region Championships Elliston's men finished in third
place in the 29-team field, earning them the school's first-ever
bid to the NCAA Division II
Cross Country National Championships in Joplin, Mo. For the
second consecutive year, two
Bald Eagles received All-East
Region honors.
Lock Haven finished 13th at
the National Championships under Elliston's tutelage, with senior Steve Moyer earning the.
schools first cross country AllAmerica honors in 12 years.
The Bald Eagles earned their
first NCAA Division II national
ranking this fall as well, remaining ranked for the entire season
and ending the year as the No. 13

the country. They finished the season with a 124-35
overall record, 64-16 versus Division II opponents and an impressive 26-17 mark against Division I competition.
This is Elliston's first time receiving the PSAC Mens' Cross
Country Coach of the Year
Award, although it marks the
third consecutive season in
which he has been bestowed
such honors for his men's squad.
He was the 1999 Eastern College

"The candle represents the

The bout was dubbed thc

both boxers suffered standing
eight counts.
It was evident early that both
boxers were looking for an early
knockout as the bout turned into
a slugfest from thc opening bell.
Eppley, a former kickboxer,
took the first round.
