Students raise money for homeless
by spending a night in their shoes
Lisa Schropp
While most people were trying to escape the
rain Friday night, 81 students spent the night out in
the rain to raise money for the Horizon House,
Lock Haven's only homeless shelter.
Despite the bad weather, members of Pi Sigma
Phi, AmeriCorp. Men's Lacrosse, and Psychology
Club, stayed in Triangle Park from 7 p.m. to 11
a.m. on Saturday morning. While staying true to
their cause, many students ventured out from
under the shelter of the pavilion and slept in cardboard boxes with only a tarp to keep them dry.
Others walked around town, getting donations
from drivers and pedestrians.
"Even with the bad weather, the students still
did a good job of getting out there and making

themselves visible," said Chris Connacher,
AmcriCorp VISTA volunteer. "I was happy with
the way they conducted themselves while walking
around town, as well as in the park.
There were Frisbees and other recreatio
materials available for the students to entert
themselves with, but the weather was not ideal
such activities. Instead, they socialized and tOi
their own T-shirts.
"Considering the rain, we're doing excell
said Kristi Godin, organizer of the event. "I
everyone a lot of credit who came out and b<
it."
After all their efforts, the volunteers rais
about $800 for the Horizon House, which was
dire need of the funds. According to Connach>
Horizon House has said that "The Sleepout for t
Homeless" is their biggest fundraiser of the enti
year.

(Below) The homeless do not have a choice when it comes to sleeping
outside in the rain, and the students who participated in the Sleepout for the
homelessness Friday night did not let it stop them either. (Jonny Sywulak)

LHU stude nts become addicted to F acebook
Melanie Shellhammer
Staff Reporter
If universities thought that
they could get away with just the
bare minimum to satisfy thc computer sawy needs of university
students nowadays, they were
sorely mistaken. Not only are
there more technological advances
that are putting strains on the big
budgets of universities across the
nation, but now Facebook has
been added to the requirements
that many students insist universities tap into for the pleasure of
linking to fellow students, whether
attending thc same campus or any
other university hooked by the
Facebook lure.
Facebook,
much
like
Myspace, is a website that allows
users to link to friends and any
other people that may intrigue
them. The only catch with
Facebook is it's unique constraint
that allows only universities
signed up to the website to allow
their students to access the site.
Using your university email
address and a password that is specific to each individual, the user is
then linked to any other person
who is on Facebook.
"I personally enjoy the fact
that you can link to people from

Bl

high school and catch up with
them," said Sacha Wolf. "I haven't
talked to some people I graduated
with in a few years and now we
can message whenever wc get thc
chance on Facebook and it's that
easy. If it wasn't for the site I probably would have never got back in
touch with them."
Some features ofFacebook are
friend lists, birthday updates,
course listings, messaging, poking
and profile descriptions. Course
listings allow anyone to link to
other individuals whoare involved
in the same courses. Such an
aspect can help break the ice for
anyone taking a class where they
are unfamiliar with anyone else in
the same class, or possibly for
large lecture halls where very few
students receive the opportunity to
meet and greet with very many
classmates. Messaging is just like
emailing, only in this case it
occurs through the Facebook site.
Poking is probably the most rare
element ofthe site, but it's difficult
to describe, only that when someone opts to poke you, you
inevitably poke back.
Yet another aspect of
Facebook are the groups that have
popped up either by sponsoring,
such as the Apple group or PINK
by Victoria Secret's, or groups that
have been created exclusively by

occupants of our own

Some groupsthat have been
ed by Lock Haven students
are unique to the
include, Bentley Food Killed
Sarah Fraley Is the R.A....
100 Hot Girls Lock
Finest, and Your Mom Goes
College. Some groups are
sive. but not because they are
better than others it's just that
moderators of the groups can
choose how thc groupis managed.
"There seems to be a wide
variety of groups ranging from
Greeks to certain wings of dorms
and just random people joining
together." said Michelle Koch.
As quickly as Lock Haven
University was added to the
Facebook family. Lock Haven students were up on the site posting
their profiles for everyone to view
and many were already racking in
friends from not only Lock Haven,
but other various universities
involved with Facebook. How
word travels so quickly is unfathomable to those whoare not familiar withthe wonders ofthe internet
world. With so many students,
especially here at Lock Haven,
linked to each other through AIM
and other various messaging services it was only a matter oftime
before word got around.

Way Out Mete
What's our age again?
Matthew McKeague
Weekly Columnist
I'm sure there is at least one

other person here on our Lock
Haven University campus that
will shout some kind of encouraging statement when they read
this. Well here goes, while I do
enjoy the campus, there are problems with it. Here are some of
the problems, minuscule in
importance or not. I have noticed
with thc university.
Thc lack of respect people
have for what the campus looks
like is a big problem. We have
had vandalism recently including
the flooding of Robinson, the
destruction of teacher's doors,
and it makes us look bad.
Watermarks, destroyed water
fountains, purposely clogged toilets and sinks; it sounds like an
elementary school for crying out
loud. I thought people were supposed to mature a little in college,
and yes a lot of us do, but there
arc quite a few ofpeople on campus that couldn't care less.
Also, who puts the bubbles in
the fountains? Sure it was funny
maybe the first few times, but it is
dull now. Creativity didn't kill
the cat, so think ofsomething else
better to do that doesn't make our
campus look like a joke, although
after 1 mentioned the killing ofa
cat. some ofyou may be thinking
up plans to (ill the fountain with
dead felines. Just stop it.
The amount ofcigarette butts
covering the ground all over the
entire campus is ridiculous. Thc
stairs behind Raub look like a

cigarette mass dumping ground
caused by people too lazy to walk
a few more steps to put them in
smoker's boxes or ashtrays. Why
would people use trash receptacles or boxes specifically
designed for cigarettes? Oh yeah
I remember, because as ofright
now, wc only have one planet that
wc live on. If people don't start
trying a little harder, then this
world is beyond helpable; we
can't get a baboon-Earth transplant you know.
They could burn a few extra
calorics and put cigarette butts in
the boxes or ashtrays scattered all
over campus or their garbage in
the garbage cans, but no, they
have to put them on thc ground.
To the smoking litterbugs: How
would you feci if everybody just
went around relieving themselves
everywhere in public? It's common courtesy not to do that. If
you don't want to sec their butts
(and other materials related), then
you should use the same amount
of public decency and not let
your butt be seen cither.
Smoking is another topic.
It's a major annoyance for those
ofus that don't want all those carcinogens in our system, that have
to walk past the lines of people
located in front of Raub or
Robinson. Almost every morning, it's like a not fun version of
holding your breath through a
tunnel. Please be courteous.
When you are well aware of all
thc adverse affects that go along
with smoking, then why do you
care if you could catch a cold?
Move away from the building

Those smoker's boxes, while
they should be effective, also
bring about a problem because a
pair or two of people with cigarettes block every door on campus. It feels like I'm James Bond
and have to find a way out of the
building without being caught by
thc smokers outside protecting
thc exit like a set of Nazi guards
with their deadly weapons. I
respect you smokers as a people
and want to give you all thc same
rights 1 have as a nonsmoker, but
remember, our nonsmoking
habits cannot harm you in anyway. Sure, you might not be able
to smoke in bars or public places,
but is that harming you? No. it's
preventing you from having
enjoyment, but it's not harming
you. When you smoke the nonsmokers are walking by, getting
second-hand smoke, being
harmed from it, and it'sjust like if
you, as a healthy person, walking
by a person eating fast-food and
you instantly gaining 200
pounds.
The maintenance people must
drive and use the brick walkways
that students do. How many
times have you been forced out of
the way due to a green golf cartlike vehicle or construction
truck? Wasn't there a better
design for this? When thc small
carts are on the road they are
potential traffic hazards because
they go so slow.
The drainage system everywhere on campus has water pools
in the area like tons of gallons of
waterproofing was dispensed on
all the walks. On the stairs
behind Raub there are large pud-

dies on each level. Well, this
would not be such a big deal if
there weren't drains right below
where all the water is. There are
drains on each level and water
still pools, and it's not from torrential downpour so the drain
doesn't have time to catch up, it's
because the drains don't drain.
The puddles arc so large sometimes that you have to completely avoid the sidewalk in some
areas.
It seems as if the people living offcampus or those of us who
are commuters aren't considered
when it snows a great deal or
enough to make the roads dangerous. When the roads are really
bad the university shouldn't only
care about those who are living 5
minutes away from class. Many
times during my Lock Haven
career there should have been
cancellations or delays. I'm not
just saying that because I don't
want to show up to school and
make snow angels, frolic, and
play all day, but because I don't
want my brains splattered all over
the asphalt.
We're all paying tuition to
come to this university, so let's
take action or at least try to do
something about these problems.
I'm not saying, "Down with Lock
Haven University; it's a horrible
school," because simply it's not
horrible. What I am saying, however, is that if all the students
attempted to care, treated this
campus and other students with
some respect, and acted with a
higher level of maturity, then
Lock Haven would be a lot better
place.

Co-Editor in Chief
Blame it on the recent arrival
of The Facebook to Lock Haven,
upcoming graduation or any of the
other numerous events of the
semester that have raised questions
and taught me lessons about
integrity and relationships, but I've
been doing quite a bit of contemplating lately about relationships.
Most ofmy contemplating has
been along thc lines ofappreciating the relationships you have
while you have them. I've also
thought about how much they can
teach us about the world wc will
enter when we leave this place.
Along those lines, I've learned a lot

about the importance of not abusing relationships. I feel the need to
share some of these thoughts so
that maybe you, thc reader, will
also take some time to appreciate
the relationships you've builtalong
the way and how they've molded
you into who you are now.
For me, some of my relationships that have had the deepest
impact on me have been formed in
an academic setting, both in high
school and in college. Facebook
has reunited me with some friends
who played a big part in making
me the person 1 was when I came
to college. It's been such a unique
and rewarding experience rebuilding those connections and then discovering that these people from
my past can still influence who 1

am now byreminding me ofwho I
was when I knew them better.
With graduation rapidly
approaching, I've also spent a bit of
time thinking about how much my
friends that are leaving have influenced the decisions I've made in
college and who I've become. I
wonder what college will be like
after they are gone and if the lack
of their constant presence will
affect me as much as or more than
while they were here.
Then I think back over this
semester and all thc lessons 1 have
learned through relationships, both
personal and professional. Two of
these lessons were fairly big and
invaluable. One was that you
should not take advantage ofpersonal connections in order to fur-

theryourself professionally in such
a way that would damage the other
person's reputation. The other was
that you should appreciate when
the other party in a professional
relationship is willing to do something for you. and you shouldn't
complain and make decisions that
would prevent them from helping
you out.
So many relationships, so
many lessons. Whether you're
graduating or not. take a moment
to think about all the people who
have impacted your life this semester and before. If only there was
some way to let them all know
how much they've meant to you.
(Hmmm, maybe you can).

Letters to the Editor
Fountain prank is getting old
Dear Editor,
Think ofsomething new. It's really not funny anymore and the worst part is how much creativity it lacks.
I'm justkind oftired ofseeing thc fountain filled with soap.
You have to realize that it wasn't even all that funny in the first place. The funny thing was that someone
was actually bored enough to think ofit. It justgoes to show that Lock Haven doesn't really have that much
for us to do to keep our minds offmischief.
I'm not saying whoever is doing it is a terribleperson. I'm simply saying whoever has been doing it needs
to take some time to think about something more creative. Once the soapy fountain thing lost its creativity it
lost its humor.
At first 1 could walk past the fountain and chuckle about that fact that 1 couldactually wash my clothes in
it instead ofspending $ 10 a week at the laundromat. Now I just walk by and think about how stupid it looks.
Maybe I've just been here too long but I've realized something in the past few years. Lock Haven
University doesn't really have a lot ofnice things for the students to enjoy. In fact, aside from the bell towers
which probably annoy everyone on campus, and our little fountain on Ivy Lane. I can't really think of anything. So why must we min the little we do have?
I used to beable to just sit on a bench near the fountain and be mesmerized. Now I walk past everyday
and I just get angry because I realize that people are really that dumb.
Really, how difficult could it have been to put some soap in the fountain? A good portion of the day
nobody is walking around campus because everyone is in class and at night campus becomes emptier than my
wallet.
Whoever has been doing it must really be a rebel. I commend whoever did it the first time. It put a smile
on a lot ofpeople's faces, including my own. It was funny, not to mention creative.
It's about time to move on though. It's really not funny anymore. It's gotten old, think of something different.

across the country, current inter-

Lock Haven University inaugurated Dr. Keith Terrencc
Miller as its 13th president on
March 18 at 1 p.m. in Price
Performance Center.
Judy G. Hamplc, chancellor
of the Pennsylvania State
System of Higher Education,
officially installed Dr. Miller in
front of an audience consisting
of more than 200 faculty and

national students representing
the university's international
partner institutions, students
representing clubs and organizations on campus, former Dean
Craig Willis, and Dr. Miller's
friends and family.
Dr. Miller delivered his inaugural address. "Surrounded by
My Future." that dealt with his
visions for thc future, and how

to make the university even
more successful.
"Having a vision is an
important part of institutional
growth, he said, my job is to
help make your dreams possible."
Dr. Miller's vision for LHU
includes enhancing thc use of
technology, turning academic
excellence into a characteristic
that is always with the university, and diversifying how thc educational experience is delivered.
He feels that his vision holds
the key to thc future ofLHU and
that we will be successful with it
if we work together and keep
future dreams just like such
innovators as Walt Disney.
Miller said that Disney was successful because he always had
visions, pointing out that on his
deathbed he had plans for
Disney World that would not be
open to the public for 6 years.
"I am surrounded by smart
people,'' he said, and that he
could not be more pleased of
this great opportunity to be surrounded by a people and a future
like that of Lock Haven.
There are enough good people in this community and LHU
that contribute to the university
and make it a better place, he
said.
Miller said, "Part of my job
is to get rid of the unnecessary
barriers between faculty and
staff." and that he will listen to

the faculty, staff, and students of
the University.
"Life is not about what you
accomplish, it's about what you
learn," he said. He added that
listening is very important to his
job and learning, and he will
accomplish such goals as getting
rid of that barrier by listening
and being a student-friendly
president that is not only popular, but knowledgeable as well.
He wants our university to
provide an education that
improves thc listening skills of
students and faculty so they can
listen to and teach each other
more that will release more talent and skill from everybody.
"Listening to each other will
certainly be a permanent fixture
at LHU." he said.
"I'm having great fun at the
Lock Haven University of
Pennsylvania." said Miller, and
that combining pleasure with
business is the way to be a verysuccessful and happy person.
Mayor Rick Vilcllo said he
personally met with each potential dean candidate when thc
selection process started many
months ago. "I believe the best
candidate was selected... the best
man won."
Miller said. "I will always
have a vision for LHU and thc
Lock Haven community... let's
consistently work together to
attain this vision."

heard in Smart trial
when the four suspects lifted

Staff Editor

him into the trunk of Smart's car.

On Wednesday, Sept. 29,
opening arguments in the murder trial ofa former Lock Haven
University student began.
Kabian Smart, who is represented by defense attorney
Ronald C. Travis, is accused of
kidnapping, conspiracy, and
first-degree murder in the Jan.
23, 1999 death of Jason
McMann.
Three other former Lock
Haven University students
Jermaine Ballard. 29, of
Waterford, York; Quincy A.
Teel, 25, of Coatsville and
Willie Williams Jr., 26, of
Philadelphia were arrested and
are being charged in the murder.
Teel and Ballard both testified
last Thursday.
On the night of Jan. 22. 1999
and early morning of Jan. 23,
became
allegedly
Smart
involved in a confrontation with
McMann over a $6,000 drug
deal gone wrong. Prosecutor
Joseph McGettigan explained
the events, saying that Smart
plotted to kill the 21-year-old
McMann that night, then asked
for help from his friends.
According to the testimonies
given by Teel and Ballard, the
fight between Smart and
McMann began at the "Football
House". The fight was eventually broken up, but Smart proceeded to chase McMann.
Teel and Ballard said they
ended up in a courtyard at
Probst Plaza with Smart and the
fourth suspect, Williams. The
two men testified that McMann
was lying in a pool of blood

-

-

Both Teel and Ballard swore
they were not involved in the
fight with McMann, nor did
they know for sure what happened to McMann after Smart
drove off with him in the trunk.
McMann's body was found
on April 8, 1999 in a wooded
area near Lily Pond Road and
Winter Road
in Logan
Township.
But the defense team has a
different theory as to what happened on the night of Jan. 22.
Travis stated in opening
remarks that there arc several
witnesses that saw McMann
alive after Jan. 23, such as at
Wendy's Restaurant in Lock
Haven, walking across the railroad tracks in thc city, and in a
vehicle.

mission statement outlines the
values of the university. Some
of these values arc: excellent
teaching that effects deep learning, knowledge and its production, a culture of learning that is
both caring and challenging,
supportive and rigorous and,
truth expressed with civility.
Unfortunately there are individuals in the university community that do not take thc mission
statement to heart.
Fahrenheit 9/11 was shown
in the Hall of Flags this past
Monday night. It was being
shown to Dr.
Kathleen
McQuaid's Media and Politics
class, but was open to the university community. USA Todayhas called the documentary that
was produced, written, and
directed by Michael Moore
"controversial."
"A university is a place
where controversial material
should be shown." said political
science professor, Dr. Jeffery
Burnham.

According to Burnham.
some individuals asked that the
film not be shown. When this
was not an option, they asked
that the film be shown after
Election Day. Thc request was
not granted. "Come see the
movie, make up your own mind,
and then decide." Burnham said.
After the documentary, tension was high, and a heated discussion followed. The debate
got off track at times, and was
very intense, even to thc point
where people left early. But the
debate gave students and faculty
the opportunity to express their
feelings, and opinions on the
film.
Kirsten Eckley, a member of
thc College Republicans urges,
"On November 2nd vote for the
candidate that best suits you as
an individual. Do not vote on
account of what parents or
grandparents have to say. what
Michael Moore has to say, or
what the College Republicans
and Young Democrats have to
say. The issues that are important to each individual vary. See
both films, make an educated
choice, and VOTE."

More the 24 hours worth ofrain from hurrican Ivan d vastates Lock Haven Area
Marissa Brunner
Alex Hayes
Eagle Eye
As the rain continued to fall
for over 24 hours, many people
in Clinton County began to
wonder if it would ever stop.
Beginning Friday morning,
remnants of hurricane Ivan
pounded the city ofLock Haven
and surrounding areas, dumping
over six inches ofrain.

The ram quickly overloaded
the Susquehanna River and its
tributaries, causing major flooding in the area. This literally
turned things upside down for
residents ofClinton County.
"We had to cancel the highway clean-up this weekend due
to the flooding in Mill Hall,"
said Jenny Charney, president
of thc Panhellenic Council.
With the exception ofthe
tennis courts by the river, thc

Lock Haven University campus
was immune to the flooding.
However, this did not mean that
students were not directly
affected. Closed roads and a
mandatory eleven o'clock curfew left many students bored
out of their minds on Saturday
night.
"It was horrible; I couldn't
go out Saturday night, and the
flooding caused an awful
stench." commented sophomore

Chad Boyer.
"Nobody knew about the
curfew until the last minute, so
it ruined a lot ofplans," said
sophomore Katie Gilger.
As if the flooding did not
causc enough problems, a fire at
the Sovereign Bank on
Bellefonte Avenue caused a
power outage in some areas of
Lock Haven. Reportedly, two
employees were locked in the
bank when they realized the

wall was on fire.
"The power was on and oft'
all weekend." said sophomore
Jessica Thompson. "Even
though this could not be helped.
it was still a huge inconvenience for those of us who nceded to get work done."
Luckily for students, some
professors were understanding
ofthe situation, and extended
deadlines for assignments,

Most students would run scared
if they heard the ticket-happy
Lock Haven University Law
Enforcement had guns available
to them. Those students should
probably stop reading this.
The fact is they already have
guns and they've recently asked
Lock Haven University
President. Dr. Keith T. Miller,
for permission to carry them
while on duty.
Miller turned them down as of
now, but plans to do further
research before officially closing thc book on thc issue.
"At the present time I would
like to stay with the status quo."
he said. "However, I am interested in finding out what other
universities are doing on this
issue."
Other universities are arming
themselves, according to Vice
President of Student Affairs
Linda Koch. Of the 14 state
universities, only Indiana,
California, Clarion and LHU
don't permit their law enforcement officers to carry weapons.
LHU's current policy docs not
permit law enforcement to carry
weapons. However, they do
have weapons locked in a safe
and "If the situation warrants
it," Koch said, "the director can
let them (use thc guns)."
The big question is whether
arming university police would
make this campus a safer place.

"I feel that we have a rather
safe campus," SCC President
Rick Harvey explained, "but
there are many things that we
must continue to investigate to
ensure the safety of our student
community."
While some students may have
mixed feelings about the idea,
the sheer thought makes some
others a bit edgy.
"I'd be more scared if they did
get guns," said Nate Meals, a
senior business administration
major. "What are they trying to
do, shoot college students?"
That's far from the case though,
according to Director of Lock
Haven University Law
Enforcement Dick Hepner.
"It's a very sensitive issue on
campus," he said. "You don't
have major crimes every day,
but you never know what could
happen."
Having guns is as much of a
liability as not having guns.
Hepner explained. On one side,
students or even the officers
themselves could potentially get
hurt because they do have guns.
On the other side, someone
could be hurt just as easily
because law enforcement doesn't have thc proper tools to handle certain situations.
"I just don't want to see anyone
get hurt on this campus, including my officers, because they
weren't prepared," he said.
Another big question is whether
the officers are even qualified
to use the weapons properly.

People get this false impression
that the university police are
merely security guards because
they don't carry guns, according
to Hepner, but in reality they've
gone through the same training
as any other police officer.
In fact, the officers take firearm
qualification tests twice each
year.
"No officer in his or herright
mind is going to use a weapon
to persuade someone," Hepner
said. "1 would be the first in
line to fire them if they did."
The weapons would only be
used as a last resort in extreme
situations, he explained.
Since 1973, Hepner admitted, "I
can't remember any situation
that an officer would have
pulled a weapon, but I do
remember situations that an
officer could have done his job
better if he had a gun."
He continued on to admit that
the situations when the LHU
Law Enforcement has needed to
get their guns out were not even
campus related, but occurred
while assisting other police
agencies.
The biggest reason the campus
police want to carry guns, he
said, is the unknown the fact
that you never know who will
come on campus.
A gun is a tool, he added, that
needs to be carried by an officer for his own protection and
the protection of others.
"I would like to see our officers
carry weapons," Hepner said.

East Campus expands campus

RD teaches unexpected lesson
A\ex Hayes

Staff Editor
For the past week something has been missing from
Woolridge Hall. A familiar,
friendly face has not been seen
patrolling thc halls, making
sure that things are running
smoothly and addressing the
many needs ofthe students.
That is the face of Resident
Director Russ Jameson.
Jameson has not been residing in Woolridge because he
has unfortunately been forced
to take temporary residence at
Geisinger Medical Hospital in
Danville, Pa. Jameson has been
battling a rare form of
leukemia, and he hopes that he
can be a living example to students ofthe importance of
donating blood and bone marrow.
Jameson made a trip to the
hospital on February 15 to get
treated for what he believed
was the flu. He was dieting, so
he did not think much ofthe
weight he lost recently, but was
concerned about the massive
amount of sweating he was
doing while he slept. Thc doctors told him to return two days
later for a blood test. It was not
long after that he learned he
had a form of leukemia that is
so rare that the hospital would
send his slides into the National
Institute ofHealth.
In honor ofJameson,
Wendy Walsh. Director of
Campus Village, has organized
a blood drive and a bone marrow donor sign up in hopes that

students will get out and help
such a worthy cause. Jameson
has donated much lime in the
past to the Red Cross, but now

that he sees things from the
receiving end he understands
the importance of donating
much clearer than ever. In fact,
there is one big regret that
Jameson holds.
"Even though I donated a
lot of my time to the blood
drives, 1 never actually donated
my blood. I have always had a
big fear ofneedles." Jameson
confesses. "Now that 1 am the
one receiving blood and bone
marrow, 1 regret that I let that
fear of one little prick of a needle prevent me from doing
something so important."
Walsh, who has donated for
many years, said that she certainly will be thinking of
Jameson when she goes to
donate at the upcoming drive
on April 21 in the PUB.
"Russ and I are the same
blood type, so we like to think
that the pint that I will be
donating will actually be going
to him." said Walsh.
This Monday, April II,
there will be also an educational program about becoming a
bone marrow donor so that students can help people like
Jameson, who need bone marrow so badly. The program will
be held Monday from 6:30 p.m.
7:30 p.m. in the Hall of Flags.
Following will be a meeting for
students who would like to help
spread the word about the
importance of donating, by
becoming presenters.

-

Students will then have the
opportunity to sign up to
become a bone marrow donor

-

on April 26 from 11 p.m. 4
p.m. in the multipurpose room
ofthe PUB. Jameson says that
it is especially important for
college age students to donate
bone marrow.
"College age students are
the best to give because of the
fact that their immune systems
are less sophisticated to deal
with disease than that of an
older person." Jameson stresses.
Jameson would like
Woolridge Hall residents and
all university students to know
that he is constantly thinking
about them. He is not aware
when he will be able to return
to work, but no matter how
soon it is it will not be fast
enough for him.
"My passion ofmissing the
students is great. It has really
been hard for me to not be with
them everyday. I love my life
and my job and am very
blessed for both. I would rather
be anywhere but here, but
Woolridge Hall is where I
would like to be most." said
Jameson.
He also wants students to
not be afraid ofcancer. He
admits it is a horrific thing to
go threw, but it has also been a
blessing in disguise for

Jameson.

"Cancer is not a death sentence. It totally changes your
perspective on life. For me it
has increased my spirituality as
well as many other things."

a World War II veteran who died
soon after earning his degree.

John Klacik was selected as the new coach of
the Lock Haven University football team.
Kevin Carver
Sports Kditor
President Keith Miller introduced John Klacik as the university's new football coach at a
press conference on Tuesday,
March 15. His optimism quickly
spread to everyone in attendance.
Klacik. thc former stand-out
Bald Eagle receiver, has already
assumed duties and has been
running lifting sessions and
practices since early March. He
brings a much needed winning
attitude with him.

"First 1 need to form relationships with our players.
They've been through some
tough times, and have been told
by many people that they can't
win, that it's impossible for
Lock Haven to win. My job as a
coach is to make them believe
that anything is possible if you
work hard enough."
Klacik has already made the
commitment to bring in the right
people on the field and on his
staff.
"I'm not just interested in

St.ne Head Coach Jim Tressel.
From 1988-1994, Klacik was an
assistant coach, working primarily with tight ends and wide
receivers. In 1995. he was promoled to Offensive Coordinator,
a position he held until 2000.

coach at Wake Forest. Klacik
returned to YSU again as
Offensive Coordinator until
accepting his first head coaching
position this month. While at
Youngstown State, the Penguins
developed into a D-l AA power,
winning three national titles.
Klacik outlined a plan to
"turn around" the Bald Eagle
football program.
"This is going to be a total
effort," he said. "We're going to
need a commitment from the
surrounding community, the
University community, and
Brora mv staff and players. So

football turns around. I want
everyone to feel like they have a

Klacik plans to mend a broken team; one that has finished

past five years. His hire comes
after a month long search to
replace Mark Luther at the

"I was told by Coach Tressel
that when forming a staff, one
needs to. be patient. The good
coaches will always rise to the
top over time. We'll put together
a good staff. I can promise you
that it will be the best staffthat
Lock Haven has ever had."
Though the season doesn't
start until August 27, you would
never know it by talking to the
new boss. A spring schedule has
been released, with such highlights as the April 24 Spring
Game and three scrimmages.
However, Klacik brought a
little something with him from
YSU. The "Hoot 'n' Holler"
Drill this Sunday at 3:00 p.m.
will mark the first day ofcontact
for the players.
"This drill will really get the
player's blood going," said
Klacik. "It's a lot of fun for
everyone, including spectators."
If you are interested in seeing what the new coach has in
store for the Bald Eagles, come
up to Hubert Jack Stadium for
any drill or scrimmage.
The optimism will quickly
spread 10 you, too.

While competing in Greece,
McMann was surrounded by
those who loved her; her par-

ents, her sister, and Blackford.
However, her brother was not

far from her thoughts; in fact, he
served as her inspiration.
"My brother was on my
mind all the time," McMann
said, "but 1 wanted to be the type
of woman he would be proud of

In what should be a time of

adversity before. Hopefully this
time she can turn this tragedy
into gold.

Wolverine pride shines through on the Lock Haven Football Team

which is nicknamed the
Wolvarena, is known as one of
the best high school football stadiums in the country.
"It gets real noisy in there
and teams don't like to come
play there," said Smith.
The tradition at Woodland
Hills is tough to match anywhere
else, but how does that translate
to Lock Haven. Charles, Mike,
Rafael, and Maurice all knew
each other and played together
in high school. All four ofthem
played on the 1999 squad that
went 13-1 and won the WPIAL

Championship.
Maurice, and Rafael have been
best friends for years. They all
played sports together for years.

Even though Mike is younger
than the others, he was always
around. He and Maurice are
cousins and all four of them
played football prior to high
school at some point.
"We all live around each
other and we have been best
friends," said Cannon. "We've
done everything together from
basketball leagues to going out
and having fun."
Cannon says these guys are
his closest friends and he would
rather play with them over anyone else.
"I feel like these guys are my
brothers and if they were not
here, I would not be here," said
Smith.
Smith, who transferred here

after a short stint at Kent State,
says he feels much more comfortable with them around. He
says he thinks their relationship
brings the whole team together.
"When the team gets closer
and closer, it makes us better on
the field," said Smith. "Playing
with these guys is so much fun
and you can't play football if it's
not fun."
These are not the only
Woodland Hills players to continue their football careers at
Lock Haven. Last year MLrcus

others graduated after respectful
careers here. Carey recently

Exactly who owns
Evergreen Commons?
Dear Editor,

Last week I wrote a letter to the Eagle Eye describing how the
Admission's Office was lying to transfer students to help fill Evergreen
Commons. Now I find out from several admissions tour guides for the
2004-2005 academic year say that they were specifically trained to
respond to questions about Evergreen Commons by saying it was university owned, but privately managed! Is this another mistake? 1 also
looked on the new university map and saw listed under university residence halls none other than -you guessed it Evergreen Commons!
What? One more mistake? How many more "mistakes" is it going to
take until someone sees a willful pattern ofcrass manipulation of the
truth? Where I come from its three strikes and you're out and we call
these "mistakes" what they really arc-out-and-out lies. And isn't it
strange how all ofthese mistakes are emanating from thc Vice President
for Advancement's Office who is also conveniently thc Executive
Director for the LHU Foundation which owns Evergreen Commons.
Please, Dr. Miller don't tell me that you and everyone else can't see a
huge conflict of interest here that is making a mockery of the integrity
of our university, it's Admission's Office, and some of its public information. Thc emperor has no clothes. Dr. Miller, how long are you going
to sit backand allow these untruths to continue without correcting them?
There is ample evidence to see that Evergreen Commons and the
Executive Director for the Foundation is thc tail that is blatantly and
unethically wagging the dog and it needs to stop. I actually polled three
foundation board members and incredibly enough they too thought that
Evergreen Commons was university owned. I wonder how they got that
impression? Please tell the truth. Evergreen Commons is owned by the
LHU Foundation and is not university property! Well, at least until the
next admissions tour, or university map is printed, or until the Office of
Advancement decides no one will actually care that what it prints and
says doesn't have to be ethical and the truth.
Faculty, students, staff if you value the truth please call Dr. Miller
now and make this lying stop. And Dr. Miller, as president 1 challenge
you to do thc right thing and take the Admissions Office from under the
supervision of the Vice President for Advancement and put it under the
Provost or any other division where thc truth cannot be the victim of a
conflict ofinterest. And by the way you have every right and in my opinion a moral obligation as president to do justthat. The truth is not negotiable. So here are four questions to which I think the students and staff
of this university deserve a truthful answer.
Who wrote the untruthful transfer letter sent by the Admissions
Office? Who approved the untruthful letter to be sent out? How long
has the untruthful letter been sent out? Will you move the Admissions
Office out from under the influence of the Vice President for
Advancement and remove his influence and conflict ofinterest?
I look forward to your response to these questions and this letter.

Student dissatisfied with this years spring concert
Dear Editor.
As many ofyou know, we just had our spring concert and once again, in my opinion, it was substandard. Before everyone get their knickers all
to
in a bunch, let me first say that I am not knocking on the HAC chair and concert committee who works hard to bring some type of entertainment
The Haven. My gripe is with the powers that be. if you think that you are a "power that be" then most likely you are and this one's for you.
After some investigating last week this is what I found. There are 4248 full time smdents on the Lock Haven University Main Campus, and 306
full time at Clearfield Campus. The Main Campus students pay S146 per semester in SCC student activities/concert fees (that's S292 for the year)
and the Clearfield full timet* pay $69 per semester ($ 138 for the year). Multiply the number offull timers by the amount that each respective campus student has to pay and you come up with a nice hefty number. $1,282,644 to be exact, and if you throw in thc part timers. I am sure they add
a little more to the pot.
Now out ofthat million plus dollars some people would have you believe that the best that wc could get was Vanessa Carlton (I had her debut
CD until I traded it in to get GnR Appetite for Destruction), and Sugarcult.
Despite the large number of students at LHU that like hip hop music, we still can not get an adequate show. Students are forced to spend their
money at other schools like Bloomsburg, Mansfield and Shippensburg to get bang for their buck. Students go to wAvw.conccrtideas.com and see
how much wc possibly paid for Saturdaysacts (We don'treally know because thc powers won't tell and give a solid amount) and who else we could
have possibly have gotten. I find it hard to believe that out ofmore than 500 acts, that was the best that wecould do. I thnk I want my money back.

Since the hiring our State System Chancellor, Judy Hamplc, the
biggest threat made to many ofthe unions w as regarding "outsourcing" or as many would say. "union busting!" I have personally sat in
a meeting with a member of Hample's team, where it was stated,
there is no guarantee that SCUPA will be in existence within the next
few years. As oftoday, SCUPA has been working without a contract
for over eight months. SCUPA and Pennsylvania State System of
Higher Education (PASSHE) have met ten (10) times since this past
January, with no resolution settling our contract. It is my understanding, our State System of Higher Education want to include a
clause in SCUPA's contract, which will allow them to outsource our
jobs if they feel there is a financial need. SCUPA strongly opposes
PASSHE's attempts and refuses to sign a contract with such a clause.
Money, money, money! Save money! Make money! Raise
Money! Anyone and everyone who work for PASSHE may hear this
on a daily basis. I have heard Hample put forth many ways to
achieve her goals, but I have not heard her once say, "my team will
give back to help make ends meet." As a true leader committed to
higher education, start trimming the fat from thc top ofthc pig and
then work your way down. Where is the model lead by example?
Eliminating unions will only take us back fifty years in time, where
the rich will definitely get richer and the poor will undoubtedly get
poorer. Where is thc integrity?
I challenge Lock Haven University education majors, all students
whose parents are in unions, parents against outsourcing, and university workers to take a stand and email Dr. Keith Miller
and Dr. Judy Hample (jhample@pa
and share your concerns and opposition lo outsourcing.

Don't be a sore loser
Dear Editor,

There have been many times that I have wanted to sit down and
write a response to letters I have read in the Eagle Eye but I have nevet
been so provoked to do so, until now. I had a long break between classes and was glancing over the stories in the paper when I read Del's letter.
With all do respect Del. get overyourself. You know as well as 1 do
that there were no instances of bribery or intimidation. Thc real truth is
you quit a paid position at the university to run for SCC president and
you failed to secure the votes. I am sure that you ran a good clean campaign, but you can not scold students for picking another candidate.
Also Del, those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones.
1 am not currently, or I have ever been a member of thc SCC but people around campus talk and some ofyour own past tactics arc debatable. You had time prior to the election to question other candidate's on
what their plans for the university were; doing so now for a lack ofbetter words makes you look like a sore loser. You did not lose because ol
any secret deals or buttons worn by poll workers; you lost because the
winning ticket ran a great campaign. Any political strategist will tell
you that PR is half thc battle. People have to know who you arc. ifthey
are going to vote for you. I interned last summer in Tennessee for a
campaign consultant and I spent days just going around thc streets ol
Memphis knocking on doors and making calls on behalf ofthe candidates. At times I thought it was a waste ofmy timebut 1 quickly learned
that PR will make or break you. You couldn't go anywhere without seeing Hackney, Wise, and Torres. It was an extremely effective tactic. 1
congratulate Hackney. Wise, and Torres for a well thought out and well
executed campaign plan. Ifyou believed that walking around campus
with a bullhorn was the right idea. 1 am sorry to say, it was not.
Also remember that less is more. Your campaign literature was well
researched and filled with positive ideas but there was too much there.
I am willing to bet that less twenty-five students actually read thc entiic
card. If you had just highlighted a few key points, it may have been
more effective. I have a lot ofrespect for you as a person Del. but your
letter and the accusations made were simply outrageous. Your letter
demonstrates to me that you lack the qualities of good candidate; a good
candidate is defeated w ith dignity. Lastly I am willing to openly saythat
I personally did not vote for thc winners but 1 am now glad that 1 did
not vote for you either.

Don't allow the PASSHE to mess with our university
Dear Editor,
This is an open letter to the Lock Haven University community which should serve two purposes.
This letter should serve as a sincere thank you for all ofthe Lock Haven University community for the love and support I have received during my recent struggle with my cancer.
This letter is also meant to inform and educate all ofthe members ofthe university community about my opinion about the most recent demands ofthe PASSHE that the union to which 1 belong (SCUPA) place in a new
contract, a clause that in effect states PASSHE would have the right to outsource any jobs in SCUPA.
1 must tell you all upfront that I struggled with whether or not I should speak my mind on the second issue listed above, but I realized the LHU community and family to which I belong deserve to hear my opinion on the
issue.
First things first, I would like to talk to you about my disease and my struggles with thc disease. Cancer all too often is looked at by others as a death sentence. Trust mc when I tell you, the word cancer itself, at first for
the person whom has it, is very shocking to the human mind, spirit and body. 1 have to tell you the truth though shocking, I have never had my eyes opened so much as I have the past several months. I havea hat that reads,
"Cancer Sucks", my wife got us a matching set and we wear them to doctor's appointments etc. A dear friend and faculty member pointed out to me that the hat might more appropriately read, "Cancer Teaches". While I
am sure books have been written concerning the subject ofhow cancer can teach us all, I wanted to share a few points with you about my experience. Most important to me is that cancer has taught me how crucial it is to
have a personal relationship with a higher power, for me that power is God (Jesus). 1 must however stress to you that this is my personal experience and for those of you in our university family whom gain strength from
some other source, well as they say in some circles, more power to you. As for mc, when God tapped me on the shoulder in February and awakened me to his wonderful saving grace and promise of a life after this life, he
showed me what is really important in diis life. To put this all in perspective let me explain it as one cancer survivor explained it to mc. "The great thing is God gives us a win-win situation, if we survive the cancer we get
to stay here on this earth and worship his name and share our story with others who struggle, but if we die from the cancer we get to go to Heaven and be with God." I truly could not have stated it better myself. The point
I am trying to make with you is surrender to God and ask him for his peace, no matter your situationand he promises you in his word he will give you peace. It has definitely worked for me.
Another point I need to share with you is, live every day as if it is your last. I have learned we all are going to have to face death, it is the human condition, so enjoy life for every little thing from the sunshine to the air
you breathe. I also believe my cancer has reinforced something 1 have always known to be true and that is you get out of life what you put into life. Listen, 1 have always been the loving canng Russ Jameson, so many of
you have grown to know and love and because I am this person so many ofyou have given back to me in my time of need; exactly that which I have given you over the years. I am only guessing, but I would say I have
received thus far about twenty times that which 1 have given and the love and support is growing daily.
Finally on the subject ofmy cancer and the university community to which I belong, I thank you all for the love, support, prayers and words of encouragement. It is you all whom have taught me so much; keep praying.
Now, as for our university family and SCUPA., many ofyou may have heard me say at the beginning ofthis editorial thc Union (SCUPA) represents theresident directors, admission counselors, financial aid workers and
personnel in a few other key offices on ourcampus. This is a straggle with the PASSHE over a clause which PASSHE insist SCUPA put in a new contract that states SCUPA would allow the state to outsource bargaining
unit work whenever it feels. Please understand just like the faculty union and maintenance union before SCUPA. whom have settled contracts with the state. SCUPA is willing to do what it can to cut cost and safe money
for PASSHE. In fact many ofyou may not be aware that SCUPA changed its health care plan from the PASSHE plan to a different plan and it is estimated the change saved thc state over one million dollars.
I have watched over the years as our administration and the PASSHE office have told the unionized faculty and staff at LHU that we need to do more with less and pay freezes would need to be put in place to help the
system. All the while the system at the state and local university level keep creating new and expensive management positions. Often times it is a promotion of a current position that takes place as well. I must tell you I
am not management and 1 do not manage, so maybe some promotions and new positions are needed, but honestly from what I see, it seems like lately it has been in excess. Especially in this time when thc rest ofthc university is being told to suck it up and deal with the new financial situation. I say that is bull and 1 know I am not the only one who feels this way. I do not want to sound like Chicken Little and tell the rest ofthe unionized
employees at LHU the sky is falling, but stop and think about it for a second. If SCUPA allows the PASSHE to put the clause in our new contract to outsource SCUPA jobs, then what is to stop the system from outsourcing
maintenance workers, custodians, police officers, secretaries, clerks, accountants and yes, even professors. Remember your contract with the PASSHE will expire one day and what if SCUPA is just the rip ofthe iceberg
when it comes to outsourcing in our state system? The truth be known, I really believe we need more teaching faculty members at LHU. So please write Dr. Judy Hample. Chancellor of the PASSHE and Dr. Keith Miller
President ofLock Haven University ofPennsylvania and stress to them how important it is that the State University System in Pennsylvania not cut off its nose to spite its face, especially when the unionized workers in the
system are at times thc glue which keeps our university together. If you are a student whom I have helped or impacted with my job write and tell Dr. Hample and Dr. Miller about thc relationship 1 have with you and how
important I am to you.
The truth is, I love the Lock Haven University community to which I belong and would never want to harm it in any way, just the same I am very well compensated for what I do at the university, but so too are the rest
ofthe university employees compensated well for what they do. I am willing to work for less and help in the fight against the cost ofrising tuition, but I believe all ofthc PASSHE employees from the Chancellor down
should help by taking less as well. Otherwise, those in power continue to take care of themselves while they tell the rest ofus to sacrifice. To me, that is not fair.

Determination.
Integrity.
Stamina. Perspiration. All these
factors go into a sport that we are
trained to play in our elementary
years, but blossom as we grow
and begin to harness the powers
that will dominate a dodge ball
game.
As they come into their final
days as a team, Duck or Bleed
are rounding out their intramural
season on a very high note. With
13 wins and only 1 lose, they
have become the favorites on the
dodgeball court. The team, composed of 11 people, is as lively
as they come and keep the games
fast paced and intense.
"Our moto is play hard or go
home," said Dusty Barnard,
Duck or Bleed's team captain.
"This is the best damn dodge
ball team that I've ever played
with."
Duck or Bleed have faced
their fair share of worthy opponents. With a game consisting of
five rounds, it can come down to
the wire when determining who
the inevitable winner will be.
Duck and Bleed know just when
and how to win their battles.
"Their definitely one of the
better teams we've played," said
Jared Stanton of the Crase

Tigers. "It made the game a lot
more interesting, even though
we lost, but if we play them in
the play-offs it will be our time
to win."
Looming in the distance this
Thursday, April 28, is the final
championship game at the Rec
Center. Duck or Bleed's opponent are the Dirty Dozen, who
hold the prestigious title of undefeated. Composed of 12 players,
the team wreaks havoc on the
dodge ball court, striking fear in
the eyes of their competitors.
Opposing teams have put up
admirable fights against the
Dirty Dozen, but have inevitably
felt the wrath of the strong
willed team.
A truly neck straining sport
to watch, dodge ball has kept the
attention of campus students.
Seen sprawled out around the
court, onlookers scream and
heckle, while players launch
balls and contort their bodies to
escape a hit. Fans even feel,
first-hand, the extreme rush of
the game as some balls manage
to find their way outside of the
court, gunning towards anyone
in their path.
Playoffs began April 26 at
the Student Rec Center. Duck or
Bleed are looking to walk away
with the new title of dodge ball
champions, and who could
blame them?

and running 55 yards to make
the score 13-0.

The weather was cold and
damp, but that could not put a
damper on the mood at Hubert
Jack Stadium on Sunday. The
football program held the fourth
annual Crimson and White
Alumni Spring Game, with the
2005 squad taking down the
alumni 20-0.
Never has the spirit of LHU
Football been this high in April.
As the team closed spring
drills. Coach Klacik has the
team and the university looking
forward to the upcoming season.
"The next thing I have to
look forward to is in 101 days,
when these guys report in
August. Then the *eal fun
begins," said Klacik.
Thc Bald Eagle defense
dominated the day, forcing a
total of four turnovers. Junior
cornerback Mike Nesby picked
off the first pass of the day and
returned it 21 yards for the
score.

'

The Crimson offense got on
thc board late in thc first half, as
junior Rob Kristiniak found
Rafael Smith in the front right
corner of the end zone, for the
20-0 lead. The team's lone
returning all-conference choice.
Smith screened off thc cornerback with his body, hauling in
the pass while taking some contact.
Overall, everyone enjoyed
thc festivities. President Miller
served as thc head coach for thc
Crimson Team, while University
Social Equity Director Albert
Jones, a member of thc 1999
Bald Eagle football team,
donned the white uniform for the
Alumni. Also, a number of
Klacik's former teammates made
the trip back to the Haven.
"To have some of the guys
that I played with here for this

made it extra special for me.
Klacik said. "The atmosphere
was great."
Kristiniak was thc leading
passer for the Crimson, completing 6-of-9 passes for 63 yards
and the lone offensive touchdown. Smith grabbed two passes for 25 yards, while senior
Kellen Bush led all receivers
with 27 yards.
Junior Derek Marshall was
the top Crimson ball-carrier,
going for 14 yards on two carries, but he did have a 32-yard
dash called back on a penalty.
One of the most prolific
passers in Bald Eagle history.

The playoff chances for thc LHU
baseball diminished over the weekend as
they could only muster 2 of 4 games from
Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
On Friday, LHU traveled to IUP and lost
both by scores of 6-1 and 3-2. Game 1 was
close until the 6th inning when IUP would
post 4 runs and go on to win. Heading into
the bottom of the 6th, the score was 2-1
IUP. An error and a couple of base hits
would prove to be the difference in the
inning. LHU only registered 5 hits and 2nd
basemen, Kurt F.lbin had 2 of the 5. Bryan
Stamm (2-5) took the loss, tossing 5 and
2/3rds innings, 0 walks, and 3 strikeouts in
the effort.
Game 2 only lasted 4 and '/j innings
because ofrain. Coach Stover was not too
pleased with the umpire's decision, "The
decision to call game two was a little
questionable. Thc conditions were not any
worse than they were for the previous two
innings. Our pitcher left one slip and it
went to the backstop and the home plate
umpire said that's enough and the game
was over."
LHU would start things
off in the 1 st inning as Kurt Elbin scored on
an error and a Travis Ruane RBI-single
would put LHU up 2-0. IUP would answer
in the bottom half ofthe inning with 3 runs,
That would be all the scoring as game 2
was called after 4 '/2 innings. Jason Brindle

MANN & SHAFT
A lot of things need to go through for a brotha like me to finally
graduate, and the time has finally come. I thought that I would not make my
last article a sad goodbye, but why not. I have had a lot of help in my college
years from friends, family and Lock Haven University staff. I have been
given this great opportunity in life and that is to attend college. Anybody
whoknows me knows that I HATE SCHOOL! But I am honored and glad that
1 have had the chance to go to college. I am the first person in my whole
entire family to graduate. I know that is something worth being proud of.
But I have to give credit where it is due. I know that every campus does
not have staff that wants to see people succeed like Lock Haven. Albert Jones
and Pat Guerriero are this University's rock in my opinion. Those two men
care about a student like their own children. They both have helped me a
tremendous amount and I owe them for that. Thank you guys because if it
were not for you I would have at least one more semester. Dr. Hossain is also
a person that helped me on my journey through college and I want to thank
him also. I would also like to thank Coach Sprague for getting me to choose
this institution and helping me through all of my family problems since I
have been here. I really appreciate the things you have done for me. Football
was very tough for me, and I know now that it will be better for the young
bucks that will follow, so good luck.
Now. to the people who have made mc change. I would like to thank
Maurice Walker and Rafael Smith. They are my two best friends and if it
were not for them 1 would have left a long time ago. Blood is thicker than
water and that is why we are so tight. Graduating college is justanother step
in life that we all have to take but the bonds and friends you have are worth
all the good and bad memories. To the crew Kel, Stix, Al, Sapp, Shel, Eight,
M-Dot, M-Burk, Braveheart Go-Go, Bang-um, Tiff and Nutt . All of you
have made this a great experience for me and I love all of yalKno H). Shout
out to my football family Lump, Dan, Nalwak, Dev the Dude and others.
I just wanted to take this time not to write about sports but about what
makes Lock Haven special for me. Special thanks to Kevin Carver for allowing me to write this column and Dr. Campbell for helping me get my classes situated for graduation and Peter Campbell for giving me the chance to
commentate on the net.
I really want to say goodbye to all that I have come in contact with over
my years here.
And for the last time...
AND I'M OUT LIKE THE TRASH ON A THURSDAY...HOLLA AT ME

This being the very last Shaff editorial ever, I would just like to thank all
thc readers forgiving me a few minutes of their day to hear my thoughts and
gripes about the wide world of sports. In turn, I encourage all of you to have
your own opinions about sports. The point of this final editorial is to sell all
, ,
of you the fact that sports is an important part of life.

billions of dollars a year.
My thoughts are on the personal level of sports. I know not everyone
played on an organized team, but somewhere someone was involved with a
little physical activity and competition. Yes, even attempting to play volleyball with your family in the backyard. No matter which way you participated, you know it was building your character, either for yourself or for others. You do not necessarily have to be an MVP either. It goes beyond the
actual game. A lot of it is about communication. Have you ever heard of a
quiet game? Think about all the relationships that grow from even simply
spending time together.
Now let's talk about spectatorship. I'm sure many of you can remember
a wonderful time you had going to a ball game. Football, baseball, basketball, whatever: wasn't that the talk for the rest of the day? Granted there
wasn't too much celebration. Darn specials. Now this is entertainment,
especially when it's nice outside. And it's a great time to hoot and holler with
a pal. I couldn't even begin to count how many games I've been to with this
scenario. I know it was every time, though.
So, I leave you all with this: I know there are a lot of 'issues' out there
about sports. How it shouldn't take over a life, or the morality behind it,
especially more recently. However, this is one of thc areas of life that will
always be able to create or strengthen the relationship between people. That
will not go away. The aspects go far beyond a bunch of sweaty people trying to beat each other. Recognize the psychology behind sports and take
advantage of it. It can make your life all that better.

Because of his pacemaker, his

With all the adversity one
faces in life, one of the biggest
may be self-motivation. For
Lock Haven University senior
soccer player and track athlete
Tom Skrivanek, a native of St.
lames, N.Y., overcoming challenges first came at an early age.
When he was only two years
old. Skrivanek's parents learned
that he needed a pacemaker,
which is a small, battery operated device that sends electrical
impulses to the heart to help
keep it pumping at regular intervals. At the age of five, he had
two major heart surgeries and
had his first pacemaker implanted into his chest.
"The doctors told me I was
lucky to live," Skrivanek
recalled. "When I was young, 1
knew I was different, but I didn't
want to ever use that as an
excuse or as a crutch. I just
wanted to be like everyone
else."
Skrivanek may have been
born with a faulty heart, but his
desire and passion to be competitive has always been there. At
the age of four, he started play-

doctors would not allow him to
play lacrosse and hockey, which
were two popular sports in St.
James.
When he was 10, Skrivanek
had two more major heart surgeries within a one-month time
period in which he had another
pacemaker implanted. The surgeries did not sideline him for
long, as he continued to be
active and compete in soccer. In
seventh grade, he started running track and field.
"My pacemaker does not
help or hurt my running. It kicks
in when my heart beat goes
below 50 beats per minute,
which is usually when I'm sleeping or really relaxed, like in a
really boring class," Skrivanek
laughed.
Many people find it difficult
to get motivated and lead an
active, healthy lifestyle. For
Skrivanek, that motivation came
mainly from his parents, Frank
and Trudy Skrivanek.
"My parents are awesome,"
he said. "They were so solid and
positive when 1 was growing up.
They were always there for me

and kept me in line. They always
told me I could do whatever I
wanted to do. I was blessed with
good parents."
One of Skrivanek's goals
was to prove to all those who
said that he couldn't be successful wrong. When he came to
LHU, he continued to run track
and field, and during his sophomore year he was part of the
Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference (PSAC) Indoor
Track & Field distance medley
relay team. During his junior
year, he ran a leg of the PSAC
Indoor Championship 4x400
relay squad. Tom also started
playing soccer again his junior
year, and with his help, his teammates were PSAC Champions
last season. In total, he has been
part offive PSAC championship
teams. His determination to succeed has led to an impressive list
of accomplishments throughout
his athletic endeavors.
Mark Elliston, LHU Track
and Field coach, was impressed
by Skrivanek's drive to be successful.
"It was more ofa concern to
us as coaches than it was to

him." Elliston said. "As he
trained, he had the desire to do
well. It hasn't put a damper on
his desire and ability."
"Tom is an absolute delight,"
said Doug Moore, Skrivanek's
soccer coach at LHU. "He's a
terrific guy and in great condition. He doesn't want his pacemaker to be an issue, so it's not
an issue with us. He is a great
teammate and role model."
In November, Skrivanek had
another pacemaker implanted,
his first one in 11 years.
"The wire from my heart
runs under my collarbone and up
into my neck," he said. "From all
the excessive lifting I had done,
the wire actually wore down and
started to shock my whole
chest."
He missed six weeks of
training, and although he wasn't
supposed to run per doctor's
orders, he ran anyway.
"I have that competitive personality; I don't like to lose," he
said. "I'm proud of what I've
done, and I really don't think
there is any difference between
me and the next guy. I'm just
part of the team."

Intramural Field in
Jeopardy
The Lock Haven University Intramural field hosts
several club sports throughout the academic year.
These organized teams practice and compete against
other clubs in recreational competitions. This all could
change.
There are plans to tear out the Intramural
Field and make it a parking lot The Intramural Field is
planned to be moved to the "beach" between McEntire
and High Halls. The new Intramural Field would be
equipped with a running fence and lights. Construction
is scheduled to happen as soon as this summer. There
is an alternate plan. The parking lot behind Akeley
would be removed and McCollum field (soccer field)
would be renovated into three multi-purpose fields.
One field would be the regulation soccer field and two
others fields would be adjacent. All fields would be
equipped with adequate lighting The new fields would
be used for teaching instruction, club sports, intramural
activities, and varsity sports. All Lock Haven University
students, faculty, and staff are stakeholders in this
change. McEntire/ High/ Gross Hall residents- how will
the bright lights affect your sleeping? How will the
noise from the IM field affect your studying habits?
Club Sport participants- would you rather one field or
several?
How will the parking situation affect
competitors' travel?

offered Let your voice be heard by e-mailing

Seniors' art showcased in final s ring exhibit
Brendon Costello
Staff Reporter
Artworks occupying both the
second and third spacial dimensions are the heart ofthe Senior
Exhibition this week in the art
gallery of Sloan Fine Arts
Center. The gallery is displaying
the creations of the art department's six graduating seniors.
Sculptures, paintings, drawings and jewelry creations
straight from the hands of some
of thc university's most creative
minds were set up on display in
the gallery over the weekend.
An opening reception is planned
for Friday at 7:00 p.m in the
gallery.
"The students work well with
what we have," said Ray
Heffner, department chair, who
did not see the gallery until the
students were done arranging
everything to their taste. "We're
proud ofthem all."
Mary Boock, who has on display a large number of works
created during her studies at the
university, has included "saddlebags" in her exhibition. This
particular work is one that
received honorable recognition
the last time it was displayed.
Larger paintings include
John Fudrow's award winning

painting as well as some sculpture installations to add compliments to several ofhis works.
"It's like the piece fell right
out ofthe painting." said student
Nate Hamm. "They go together
well," he said referring to
F'udrow's painting-and-sculpturc
hybrid installation.
Students interested in artwork that leaps the boundaries of
conservatism will enjoy Boock's
"Knockers" sculptures. Boock
has created several pairs of oversized female breasts which have
been mounted on thc wall of thc
gallery to show proportionatelysized captive-bead ring jewelry
of various styles utilizing different medium including paper
mache and wire.
Precious metal innovations
by Rene Raffensberger maintain
an elite corner of the gallery in
their own glass display cases.
"I'm impressed by her use of
enamel on metal." said Hcffner,
admiring Raffensberger's use of
thin metal to cover a glazed
ceramic bowl.
Other innovations and
designs include bold graphics by
Kathryn Siverd and Maralea
Staton and drawings by Jon
Walter.
The student exhibition will Artistic works done by

You shouldn't trust what others say so much. Authority can be

movie, don't solely base your
opinion on movie reviewers
because remember... some people
actually thought Hitler had good

beauty, or any quality is up to the
individual person. Just like you
are wrong sometimes, others are
too, so be careful for what you
take as facts and what you
believe.

As Socrates once said, the
unexamined life is not worth living. You were given a brain and
more complex thought processes
to live a life consisting of more
than eating, sleeping, and having
sexual intercourse. Think more.
Expand your mind more. If you
wonder something, then look it up
and better yourself. If you never
would have improved you brain at
all you would still be drooling all
over yourself and needing a diaper.

Letter to Ashton Kutcher:
A Review of Guess Who?
It is certainly no sin to not be Sidney Poitier, especially when there are far larger acting-related sins in this world, most of which you've, unfortunately, committed (such as That 70's Show, Punk'd,
The Butterfly Effect... I could go on. but I think you get thc idea). But, while it is no sin to not be Sidney
Poitier, it is as close to a cinematic sin as you can get to act in Guess Who, a very loose remake of Guess
Who's Coming To Dinner?, one ofhis most popular movies, and come out with something that is a pale
imitation (no pun intended) ofthe original.
It was a welcome sight to not see you in thc role of a complete idiot for once. Your role of
Simon Green only forced you to act like halfan idiot in attempting to lie at every turn to your future
fathcr-in-law. Admittedly, if my future father-in-law was a man built like Percy Jones, as played by
Bernie Mac, I might be tempted to do the same. But, if my fiance was portrayed by the lovely Zoe
Saldana, I would use a tad more discretion with my lies, so as to not screw a good thing up.
The complaint I have Mr. Kutcher is not with the acting (though, given time and space, I could),
with
thc story. It is all well and good to show your character and Percy bonding and all well and
but
good to explain why you quit your job. but. if you never give the audience any reason to believe why
these things are happening, never show them how things got to this point, then you've accomplished
nothing and merely strung along the audience on a slender thread. After all, it is a bit ofa leap of imagination to assume that, in the space of a few days, Percy Jones could go from wanting to move Simon
to a hotel and feel the need to lock him in the basement to playing living room football with him and
accepting dance lessons from him. Admittedly, with the rapidity that plot strands are introduced,
dropped, or left unexplained, it wouldn't particularly surprise mc if Percy Jones were somehow Simon
Green's father...which would make an entirely different, possibly more interesting movie altogether.
Mr. Kutcher, 1 admire your attempt at making a good movie, one that doesn't showcase you as
a complete stoner. I'm just not confident that you have a good movie inside your acting body anywhere.
You were "born" on thc small screen and maybe that's where your natural home is. Please, for thc sake
of us all. run home to it and stay there.
Sincerely,
Ed Savoy

we all know and love.

You can find it in bookstores, gas stations, college cam-

puses, any restaurant, and many
kitchens across the world. What
could it possibly be, you might
ask?
It is coffee, of course. It's
everywhere. And for some peopie, especially college students,
it is just as much a staple in their
diet as a carbohydrate.
"1 had my first cup ofcoffee
when I was seven years old,"
sociology major. "Ever since
then. 1 have had a cup of coffee
every morning."
For some people, a cup of
coffee is an enjoyable beverage
that is consumed for its flavor
and deliciousness. For the rest
of us, it's consumed simply
because without that helpful little pick-me-up every morning,
we would resemble something
much like a walking zombie.
Yes, a significant number of
college kids are addicted to that
early morning caffeine-kick that

is stimulated, and your heart
begins to beat faster. In result of
all this, you begin to feel energized. A number of studies have
concluded that habitual coffee
consumers are at a higher risk of
having miscarriages and birth
defects, osteoporosis and arthritis.
So is all this information
enough to make you exchange
your caffeinated mug of coffee
for a decaffeinated version?
Probably not. In a day and age
where prescription drugs are just
about as readily available as a
pack of chewing gum, a cup of
coffee does not really pose that
much of a threat.
And this kind of negative
information about the effects of
coffee does not seem to be stopping college kids from their
daily consumptions.
"This past semester has been
the busiest it has been in six
years." said Kelley. "More and
more people are drinking coffee."
Jazzman's Cafe is open
weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

"Domestic Abuse'

Evergreens in April
March, April and May are
the best times to prune
evergreens like juniper,
cypress or conifer. Remove
all dead, diseased and
undesirable branches.
Broad-leal and needle-leaf
evergreens benefit most
from lightly spreading a
high-nitrogen fertilizer
around their bases.

Don't
believe it? All you have to do is
walk into Jazzman's Cafe in
Bentley Dining Hall, and guaranteed you will see a long line of
sleep-deprived students yawning and tripping over their own
two feet.
"Coffee, lattes and cappuccinos arc definitely thc most popular drinks, although wc sell a
lot of smoothies when the
weather gets warmer," said
Jazzman's Cafe employee Linda
Kelley.
Research has suggested that
a cup of coffee a day can reduce
the risk of heart disease,
Parkinson's disease, and gallstones. It also acts as a powerful
antioxidant.
But wait, before you get all
excited and rush to the nearest
Starbucks, consider this as well.
Coffee contains caffeine, and
caffeine is an addictive drug.
Withdrawal from caffeine after
continued consumption can
result in pounding headaches
and dizziness. After you consume a cup of caffeinated coffee, your central nervous system

Despite their differences in
style. Vanessa Carlton and
Sugarcult performed at the same
concert on Saturday night in
Thomas Field House.
The 11AC concert committee
sponsored event tilled about
half of the gymnasium, with
many concert-goers expressing
complaints because of thc rain
prior to the doors opening about
fifteen minutes later than
expected.
Carlton is a solo singer and
pianist with music that can be
described as earthy and sensual
in style while Sugarcult is a
punk rock band with loud electric guitars, bass and drums.
She put the crowd into a
somewhat mellow and contemplative state which made the
shock ot" Sugarcult's punk rock
sound even more intense.
Although the acoustics in
the gym made the music reverberate and the volume of the
sound system was a little too
loud to hear the lyrics the vocalists were singing, the concert
was a good one. even if the
crowd didn't seem to be feeling
it fully.

Moshing and crowd surfing
were not permitted, but the
crowd didn't seem to have
enough energy anyway to do
either. The concert time was
pushed back an hour later than it
usually is. Sugarcult flew in
from California and said that
they would play in Lock Haven
anytime because they liked the
town so much. Although it
might have been the rock stars
in them talking, it was still comforting to know that the Lock
Haven Community was such an
inviting one.
Sugarcult played some old
and new selections as well as
covers like. "I Wanna Be

in the crowd jumping and many
more singing and bobbing
along. "Memory." "She's the
Blade," and "Pretty Gut?

"Sign Off." the final song on

MTV for censoring her song,
"White Houses."
"I find it to be very hypocritical that MTV was uncomfortable with my song lyrics when
all they play is ass." she said.
"Apparently, I'm second to

to ruffling feathers."
During her final song, "A

comment that people probably
just realized who she was. After
her talented and classy performance, they will probably remember who she is now, even if it's
only as "that chick on the
