Bentley Dining Hall is one of the many places on campus that has a new
look to it this semester. Raub Hall and the brand new East Campus are
some of the other places that have a new look to them.
Scott Kulah
Staff Reporter
"No Free Refills" is a
phrase all returning students
have grown accustomed to

hearing. Undoubtedly, nearly
every student who has spent a
semester at Lock Haven has
been busted, at least once, for
trying to sneak a free drink.
"You have to pay for that
you know. Didn't you see the
sign that says no free refills?"
Coming from an angry cafeteria worker, those words can be
very scary.
As the new semester
begins, thirsty students will
finally be able to leave the
dreaded words behind, as well
as a dreary look at Bentley. the
back-breaking desks in Raub
and the leaky roof and roughed
floors
of
up
Rogers
Gymnasium.
Perhaps some of the
biggest changes, gracing both
new and returning students,
have occurred at Bentley Hall.
Aside from a new look.
Bentley is offering more space
and some ways to make life
easier for rushed students.
The State System of Higher
Education recently agreed on a
10-year contract with Pepsi,
making them the exclusive
soft-drink provider for ali of
Pennsylvania's state universities.
One of the biggest changes
with the new contract will
allow students to get the free
refills they have been sneaking
out, for free. There will be no
need for students to wait for
cafeteria workers to turn their
back to visit the soft-drink
machine this year.
"1 can't steal free drinks
anymore," one student said,
"because we don't have to pay

for them."
The new workings downstairs go hand-in-hand with a
revitalized
uppcr-Bcntlcy.
according to the new General
Manager of Lock Haven
Campus Dining. Richard A.
King.
"This is the largest enrollment that the school has ever
had; more people have meal
plans than ever before." he
explained. (Just by rearranging the tables) we have gained
about 100 seats."
Uppcr-Bentley is also
offering a new "express line,"
which will be open during
peak dining periods, and a
"grab-n-go" section, for students who lack the time to sit
down and eat a meal between
classes.
King said. "You could actually come in the morning,
swipe twice, and get your
lunch, so you don't have to
come back."
"We have some exciting
changes to look forward to this
year," he added. "We've got
some things in the works; they
just haven't rolled out yet."
The university's facilities
department has also been hard
at work, all summer, so students could return for the fall
semester to a better Lock
Haven University.
Raub Hall has seen extensive renovations. In addition
to the new desks, which most
students have noticed by now,
the new heating and cooling
units throughout the entire
building should keep students
comfortable as far as temperature goes, according to Richard
Getgen, construction inspector
and supervisor of the Facilities
Department.
Getgen also noted that
Raub Hall now has new ceil-

Lending a hand in South Africa Welcome back picnic tonight
Cynthia Martinez
Staff Reporter
The Interfraternity Council
of Lock Haven University has
adopted the South African Aid
Project as their new philanthropy in order to help build
orphanages and schools for
children who are left without a
family because of the African
AIDS pandemic.
After an interview done by
Oprah Winfrey, 1FC decided to
help the 11.5 million children
under the age of 15 who are
left as orphans and the one out
of Five adults who have been
diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in
Zambia, Africa.
"Oprah Winfrey's interview with these kids was a

wake up call about the issue
that they have to deal with
every day," says Kevin Stone,
Interfraternity Council advisor. "That's why I decided to
bring this concern with IFC in
order for someone to do something."
Throughout the semester,
IFC will be holding events to
raise money and they invite
the campus, as well as the
community, to take part of this
long-term project.
"There's still a lot more
planning to do," says Jason
Kraska, President of IFC. "We
have never taken up such a
large project, so we need to
plan more fundraisers and
come up with a set goal."
As of now, Sigma Pi

Fraternity and Lacrosse will
be hosting a spaghetti dinner
at Great Island Presbyterian on
September 24, Kappa Delta
Rho will be passing out donation cards to students and the
community, and a Texas HoldEm Tournament will be taking
place in November.
"By donating, you are
helping children who are
growing up without a proper
education, without the support
system of a family, and without the required medication
that they need," Kraska said.
"So make sure to make your
contribution throughout the
semester.
Every little bit
helps."

community to participate in a
stimulating and thought-provoking series of international lectures that will take place
throughout the 2004-2005 academic year. Now in its eighth
year, the International Visiting
Lecturer Series is aimed at
bringing international perspectives and expertise to the Lock
Haven campus on a specific
issue of significant importance
in the world today. With the
objective to encourage reflection and discussion on an issue
that transcends national boundaries, this year's Series welcomes six distinguished lecturers representing six international
partner universities of Lock

Intercultural
Communication has received
increased attention in recent
years as evidenced by the
growth of academic and professional programs worldwide that
are devoted to its study.
Conventional wisdom would
suggest that this burgeoning
interest should foster increased

understanding between cultures,
with concomitant benefits for
societies throughout the world.
We are still confronted daily,
however, with the consequences
of our failures to communicate
effectively: terrorist attacks,
trade embargoes, strained
alliances, organizational impasses, ideological conflicts, global
brinkmanship, and persistent
discrepancies in the access to
knowledge and resources among
the people ofthe world.
What can communication do
to help solve these problems?
Can differences be resolved, or
simply managed better? Are
scholars making progress in critical areas related to Intercultural
Communication?
Are there
examples where new
knowledge in the discipline
has led to tangible and positive
change? Or, is the discipline as
currently configured marginal to
international relations and thereby in need of significant redirection? These are but a few
of the questions that will be
addressed by the participating
lecturers.

Dunkin' Donuts has become an excellent hang out for LHU students now
that it has been remodeled. Other changes downtown include Puff's Six
Pack as well as a delivery service added to the Texas Lunch.
Lindsey Johnson
Co-Editor in Chief
When looking for off-campus dining, university students
will have a few more options
this year.
Two favorite hang-out
spots, Dunkin Donuts and
Puffs Six-Pack, have undergone major renovations over
the summer and are ready for
the return of student business.
"It was our desire to
improve the current facilities,
but it really wasn't feasible, so
we went with the massive renovations instead," said Gary
Oden, owner of the Lock

Haven Dunkin Donuts store
since 1981.
Along with a new look, the
store will begin offering lowcarb muffins and bagels early
this month. Employees are
also working on lowering the
drive-thru time from two minutes.

"That's very fast anyhow,
but as time goes by, we hope to
get it down to one minute and
30 seconds," Oden said.
College students often use
the 24-hour Dunkin Donuts
store as a late-night study
place, where it's quiet and not
crowded, and they can get a
cup of coffee as well. Oden
says that the heaviest hours of
student traffic are from 8 p.m.
to the early morning hours.
"We're happy to have the

Student protestors detained
at Republican Convention
Ryan Hagen
U-wire (DC BUREAU)

--

NEW YORK
Nearly
demonstrators were
arrested by police this week,
as constant protests rumbled
across New York for the duration of the Republican
National Convention.
Kicked off by Sunday's
United for Peace and Justice
march, in which as many as
400.000 demonstrators participated, the week of dissent
ended with thousands chanting
anti-Bush slogans outside
Madison Square Garden while
the President accepted his
party's nomination to fight for
another four years in the
White House.
Police had originally anticipated making as many as
1.000 arrests a day, though
mass arrests materialized only
on Tuesday, designated "A31"
by organizers who hoped to
bring about massive disruptions to the flow of the city
through widespread civil disobedience. By the end of the

The demonstrators were
processed at Pier 57, an old
bus terminal. New York
University sophomore Jeff
Gharakhanian was among
those detained.
"This was the most shady
thing ever." he said of his runin with police, which began
Tuesday afternoon when he
and a friend joined hundreds
of others near ground zero
with the intention to march to
Madison Square Garden.
"The funny thing was, we
didn't get 10 feet." he said.
The march organizers had not
obtained a permit for the
demonstration, but reached an
agreement with police that
allowed the group to proceed
so long as they stayed on the
sidewalks and did not block
traffic.
But almost as soon as the
march began, it was halted by
police. "All of a sudden this
orange fencing is being
unrolled to the right of us, and
we figured it was to keep us
off the street" Gharakhanian
said. Police soon hemmed in
the crowd and began making

Free shuttle service offered to students
Emily Capp
News Editor
This year the town of Lock
Haven and the university are
working together to provide a
free shuttle service for college
students to take downtown.
In creating this service,
downtown merchants are hoping
to promote their businesses and
offer students a variety of shopping options they otherwise
don't realize is there.
Joe Haynes. who owns
Greatest Hits Music and Books,
had the prominent role in
encouraging this idea. Haynes
owns two retail stores in town
and is concerned that the students are not aware of just what
is offered downtown.
Last year many students
were asked to fill out surveys
regarding the quality of the

downtown shops and what they
would like to see opened.
However, because a lack of students go downtown, they are not
aware of the services they can
take advantage of. Since they

a store because they worry about
a lack of consumers.
Haynes has already noticed
an influx of students coming
downtown. This past Friday
night he saw ten LHU students
exit a shuttleand then proceed to
enter his store.
With the shuttle service,
there is a way for students to
escape the boredom of being
stuck on campus and venture
downtown into the community.
This also will benefit the town
of Lock Haven as students will
now use their services which
will bring more money into the

city as well as future shops better catered to students' varying
tastes.

The shuttle runs Monday
through Friday from 3 p.m. until
9 p.m. On Saturday the shuttle
runs from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.
The shuttle operates on a 20minute loop which stops on the
hour, twenty after the hour, and
forty after the hour.
It stops are the front of North
Hall. McEntirc Hall, the comer
of Fairview Street and Glenn
Road, and Evergreen Commons.
The following stops are made in
Lock

Iraq is not another Vietnam
Chris Hill
Minnesota Daily
(U. Minnesota)

--

MINNEAPOLIS
The
Vietnam War was a conflict run
by politicians in Washington trying to fight a sensitive war. The
United States won nearly every
tactical victory, but lost the
overall strategic victory. We
were unwilling to win the war.
The North Vietnamese knew if
they could dishearten the U.S.
public enough, we would leave.
That is why they would send 10
men to kill one American.
I learned this firsthand when
I lived in Hanoi two summers
ago. They wanted an independent nation, and would do anything for it.
Back to Iraq. Within a little
over a year, we took over a foreign nation (note: Terroristsponsoring), rebuilt most of its
infrastructure, and turned it over
to an interim government which
takes an active role in the United
Nations. Iraq even competed in
this summer's Olympics. Within
another year, a new independent
government with a new constitution, police force and military
will be running the nation.
In Vietnam, we spent almost

a decade with little lo no strategic victory. In Iraq, we've spent
a little over a year with huge
strategic victories. In Vietnam.
Ho Chi Minh was well protected. In Iraq, we captured
Saddam. In Vietnam, we were
unwilling to capture Hanoi due
to politics. In Iraq, we captured
Baghdad almost immediately.
In Vietnam, they hated the
West for France's evil practices
(remember. Vietnam started out
under French control). In Iraq,
they hated Saddam for his evil
practices. We are gradually
handing military and police
authority over to the Iraqis
themselves, something we did in
Vietnam only as a last resort
when we decided we wouldn't
win.
But what about all the
deaths? Currently, it is more
dangerous to drive on U.S. highways (42,000 deaths per year)
than to be a soldier in Iraq. You
are more likely to die from a
gunshot in Detroit than in

Vietnam. I don't like seeing our
people die, but is has to be taken
in perspective. So the comparison is ridiculous unless you
mean to show stark differences.
I will say that the comparison is correct in one regard. If
there continues to be strong antiIraq support, we will have major
problems in the future.
"Fahrenheit 9/U" (a movie
that implies the most untruths
I've ever seen without actually
lying) being shown in the
Middle East will significantly
hurt our efforts for peace. More
Americans will be killed
because of it. But most importantly, as U.S. citizens increase
their opposition, it will render
the ability of our leaders and
military ineffective, just as it did
in Vietnam.
The military didn't lose
Vietnam, the U.S. public did.
Right now, the military and
civilian forces are winning victory after victory in Iraq. The

War records are overhyped
Mike Walters
The Battalion
(Texas A&M U.)
COLLEGE STATION, Texas
« The poet George Santayana
once said: "Those who do not
remember the past are condemned to repeat it." It is tor this
reason that both presidential candidates are having their
Vietnam-era lives scrutinized.
Sen. John McCain, however,
has had enough. "I'm sick and
tired ofreopening the wounds of
the Vietnam War," he told The
Chicago Tribune. As a former
prisoner of war with a reputation
for bravery. The New York
Times noted that McCain, a former prisoner of war with a reputation for bravery, is viewed by
some to embody "a moral
authority on issues related to
Vietnam."
This raises the question:
Should we worry about Vietnam
in this election, or is it best to
leave out the past?
Like many veterans with
painful memories associated
with war. McCain has good reason to never want to think about
Vietnam again. However, as with
any painful experiences, there
are good lessons that can come
out of trial and should not be
ignored. McCain is right to say
the bickering re-opens old
wounds, but he is mistakenly
accused of believing that
Vietnam should be ignored
entirely.
First, McCain is firmly
against questioning the medals
Sen. Kerry earned during
Vietnam. "If they question
Kerry's medals," he told The
Times, "they question every-

body's medals. All those men
who found so little gratitude for
their sacrifices when they got
here are going to feel mistreated
again." Veterans who risked their
lives for their nation and its
leader's policies should be honored for their bravery. However,
McCain is making an erroneous
the only
equivocation here
medals in question are the ones
Kerry once claimed to throw
away in angry protest.
some
question
While
whether Bush's service home
side during the war is less honorable or brave than Kerry's service in Vietnam, this should be
ignored as an insult to servicemen. Not every member of our
armed forces is in Iraq or
Afghanistan, but to call the service of men and women working
stateside less brave or honorable
would be spitting on their lives
and service.
So, McCain is right to say
that Kerry's and Bush's military
service to this country were honorable. But citizens shouldn't
merely stop there. What Kerry
did after the war is important as
well, because it wasn't youthful
rebellion, but a character flaw
that exists in the present as well
as the past.
In 1970. Kerry met with
Army
North
Vietnamese
Communists to discuss ending
the war in Vietnam as well as an
unconditional surrender of
American forces. These talks
were not sanctioned by the U.S.
government and therefore are in
violation of Uniform Code of
Military Justice Article 104 part
904, which states: "Any person
who without proper authority,
knowingly communicates or corresponds with or holds any inter-

-

course with the enemy, eitht
directly or indirectly, shall suffc
death or such other punishmet
as a court-martial or militar
commission may direct." Eve
worse, this crime is a violation c
the 14th Amendment and techni
cally makes Kerry ineligible t
hold the position of senator c
It could possibly be dis
missed if Kerry wasn't still doin
these things. But on Feb. 8 Th
Tehran Times published an c
mail sent by the Kerry campaig
promising that as president, h
would try to restore relations th;
are at risk due to the actions an
attitudes of the Bush administrn
tion. Kerry is still trying t
undermine another war effort b
talking peace with the enemy.
There's a reason this countr
requires its president to be bor
in America the founders feare
that a president who was infh.
enced too much by foreign pow
ers would corrupt the president
loyalty, luring it outside c
America's own borders an
interests. Kerry's desire to mak
peace with the world started i
Vietnam, but is still dangerou
because the United States mu;
stand against many countries i
order to secure our own interest:
International approval does nt
make an issue or a war legiti
mate, and America should nt
make friends with nations whos
values stand in opposition to ot
own, be itNorth Vietnam or Irat
It's unfortunate that votct
have to recall a painful momer
in American history into th
present, but if they fail to lear
lessons the past can teach, the
are indeed condemned to mor
pain in the future.

Edwards and McCain stump in Wisconsin
Maureen Backman
Kate Hedlin
The Daily Cardinal
(U. Wisconsin)

MADISON.
Wis.
Democratic vice presidential
nominee
John Edwards
criticized
pointedly
President Bush's administration for failing to move the
United States forward in the
past four years as he stumped
for John Kerry in the heart of
the Wisconsin's Republican
country on Saturday.
"George Bush is responsible for what happened." he
said. "It didn't happen by
accident." Amidst posters
such as "Vote out the liars,"
"Hope is on the way" and
"Who's your Baghdaddy,"
Edwards said Bush should be
granted his request to be
judged solely on his record
as president.
Five million Americans
lost their health insurance
during Bush's administration, he said, and 1.5 million
lost private sector jobs. Of
the 11 presidents preceding
Bush, Edwards said, "Each
of those presidents created
jobs until this president. We
can do better."

Republican
from
the
Waukesha. Wis., area who
voted for Bush in 2000, said
he is disappointed because of
net job loss since Bush took
office. He said he will not be
for
Bush
voting
in
November. Responding to
the negative attacks over
Kerry's record in Vietnam,
Edwards said the Republican
Party is trying to divert the
public's attention because it
cannot defend Bush's record
as president.
"Black is white, left is
right, up is down. They think
if they can say it enough
we'll believe it," he said.
Edwards ripped
into
Bush's policy on the war in
Iraq, claiming the country is
a mess. While the president
on
concentrated
Iraq,
Edwards said Iran and North
Korea continued developing
nuclear weapons. The image
of the United States has
declined,
to
according
Edwards, and its image as a
beacon for the rest of the
world needs to be restored.
"We will have that beacon
always lit under President
John Kerry." he said.
Edwards said if the public
elects Kerry, they will work
to build "one America" that

will implement tax breaks

and encourage companies to
create jobs in the country
instead of overseas.
William Connors, a resident of Genoa City, Wis.,
said Edwards' visit to the
state has "shown that they're
making a change."
Wisconsin is considered a
key battleground state, as
Bush lost the state by only
6,000 votes to Al Gore in
2000. Edwards told those in
attendance to encourage
everyone to get to the polls
come November.
"The is the most important election of our lifetime.
And the choices are clear,"
he said.
SENATOR
DEFENDS
POLICY
BUSH'S IRAQ
Riding high off the conclusion of the Republican
National Convention, local
and state Republican candidates and officials gathered
in Madison, Wis., to rally the
Republican vote for the
November election with the
help of Sen. John McCain. RAriz.
As President Bush campaigned in Milwaukee, area
Republicans gathered not
only to hear the senator, but
to show support for Bush and

popular thing in a liberal city
like Madison, said Carly
Smith, a
University of
Wisconsin-Madison senior.
"It would be a lot easier
to be a Democrat," Smith
said. "(But) I support Bush
and what he's doing — his
dedication to the war on (terrorism). He's a solid leader
He knows
for our country.
what he wants."
Despite a bitter campaign
in 2000 for the Republican
Party nomination. McCain
made it clear the trip to
Wisconsin was about reelecting Bush in a state he
lost in the 2000 election.
"We are here for one reason, and one reason alone,
and that is the re-election of
George W. Bush as president
of the United States."
McCain mostly steered
away from criticizing Kerry,
saying the parties need to
stop viewing each other as
the enemy and to start fighting the real enemy who "is
plotting night and day to
destroy us."
McCain said he disapproves of the way Vietnam is
being used during this campaign, but added that Bush's
service in the Texas National

...

Guard was just as commendable as Kerry's service in
Vietnam, a comment met
with a boisterous response
from the crowd.
"We should not be fighting a war that was over 30
years ago." McCain said.
"Brave young Americans,
wonderful young Americans,
are fighting in Iraq and some
of them may even be wounded or killed. Can't we work
together to try and win this
war in Iraq rather than going
back and re-fighting one that
we can't do anything about?
Service in the National
Guard is honorable service.
John Kerry served honorably; our president has stated
that as well. He was ready to
serve this country if called
upon."
Outside both the Madison
Veterans museum and where
McCain was speaking, Kerry
supporters gathered to make
their voices heard. The
theme among protesters
seemed to be less about
being against McCain as it
was about being against
McCain's support of Bush.
McCain has been working
with Sen. Russ Feingold, DWis., on a campaign finance
bill.

...

"I think that Bush usee
gutter tactics on McCain foui
years ago and he's doing the
same thing to Kerry, and I
don't think McCain shouli
stand by," said Madison resident Jeans Hinds. "He ha*
stood up and said a few positive things aboul the guttei
techniques, but he's stil!
there (supporting Bush)."
After being questioned on
whether he would accept £
position in Bush's cabinet ii
asked, McCain deferred, saying that while it would bt
difficult if the presideni
looked him in the eye, "I
think I can be far more effective for the administration ir
the U.S. Senate."
The issue of Iraq anc
homeland security became e
theme throughout McCain'*
speech as he stressed the
importance of having Bush
in the White House during
the next four years. "I
believe now, and I will
believe forever, that the
cause was noble and just.
President Bush, by his moral
clarity and strength and lead
ership of this
nation
deserves re-election for foui
more years."

Small town and nothing to do?

Lindsay Johnson
Co-editor in chief

say this not to be a traitor to my
fellow students or to my university, because I'm very proud of
my school and happy with what
it has offered me thus far. I do,
however, want to encourage you
to consider the community that
you have an opportunity to be a
part of.
It takes a really special community to accept the fact that
late every August, theirbeautiful
town, their businesses, their
churches, their whole way of
life, is invaded by a bunch of
young adults.
We. as students, sometimes
take advantage of the fact that
there's an energetic community
with a lot to offer, right at our
fingertips. We get caught up in
campus activities, like athletics,
clubs and organizations, and
other events to fill our spare
time. Some of us also get caught
up in our studies. And there is
absolutely nothing wrong with
all that. In fact, I encourage you
to become involved on campus
in whatever ways interest you.
I also want to encourage you
to go out into the community,
though. Venture off campus a
few times and explore what
downtown Lock Haven has to
offer the best part is that it's
within walking distance. Next
time you head to Wal-Mart,
don't just pass everything else
by. Look at what you pass,
whether it be stores, streams,
playgrounds or anything else,
and consider visiting those

Internet strains social
lives campus-wide
Daniella De Luca
Opinion Editor
At this point in time, the
internet in the dorms continues
to work sporadically, as is the
case every school year. With so
many students logging online all
at once, sometimes the network
seems to go into a sort of overload getting exceedingly backed
up. This is frustrating for everyone when it really shouldn't be.
The internet ,is supposed to
make things easier, not more
stressful. So why are we so bothered?
College students rely heavily
on the Internet for communication, research, entertainment and
other various activities. The
internet, especially instant messenger and e-mail arc the main
forms of communication on
campus. Voicemail and cell
phones take the next most useful
spot on the list of forms of communication. Face to face contact
seems to have become a thing of
the past. Society is becoming
more and more automated.
College students also rely on
Wal-Mart. The Lock Haven
location has self-serve check
outs in addition to regular
checkouts. Installing these new
systems eliminates face to face
interaction. That is. until the sys-

tern fails to recognize the barcodes or malfunctions and you
must begin again or wait for the
associate with the keycard to
come fix the machine anyway.
So much for avoiding people,
right? These machines allow
you to pay with almost any type
of payment imaginable. The
whole concept must have been
designed originally for those
who were in a hurry and didn't
want to stand in line. However,
Wal Mart is always busy, therefore there are always lines.
Follow the logic? Machines like
this one are creating more problems socially.
Fast food restaurants (of all
types) are beginning to take
orders face to face to avoid confusion. Although a good idea,
and a small step toward human
interaction, it's just not enough.
Agoraphobia strikes again! This
is why people with this fear of
open, public places fear leaving
their home. They are afraid to
interact with others, thus resulting in anxiety attacks. Surely
there is bound to be a way that
the agoraphobic individual will
encounter someone while at the
store. People are unavoidable,
and social interaction is
inevitable.
The Internet may make life a
little easier, yet at the same time,
online time needs to be limited.

those students who wear these
letters, they mean so much
more.
I'm sure you all are thinking that in the Greek system it
is just a group of students who
spend too much time and
money on their social lives and
not enough time in the classroom.
But did you know we are
scholars, and that we do take
the time to sit down and study?
We strive for the best and look
for the best. If there is a time
that you need that extra push to
do your best in school, you
will have the support that is
needed to accomplish your
goals. Did you know we can

successful? Did you know that
we have traditions that we hold
close to our chapters, and for
most it does not revolve
around drinking and hazing?

We have standards and we
wear our letters not just to represent ourselves, but the
national organization that we
belong to. We spend time
working with the older brothers and/or sisters to learn these
traditions, songs and ceremonies that are very important.
We are building personal
and professional ties while
being part of these organizations, and having a great time
doing it. 1 know some people
would never think to join
something like a fraternity or
sorority because you are "paying for your friends," but for
me that is not the case. I have
been involved in my Greek
organization for the majority
of my college career and there
is not one moment that I would
regret my decision to join.
For most, we do not live
close to Lock Haven and spend
all our time at this wonderful
campus with our brothers and
sisters. LHU has become a
"home away from home," and
the ties that we have made
with our brothers and sisters
have created a family atmosphere. So when the going gets
tough, we have a strong support system to turn to and also
to share the happier things in

life that occur while we are
here.
1 have made so many
friends, in and outside of the
Greek system. The relationships that I am making now, I
know will last. It is easy to lose
contact with your friends from
high school, but I do not think
that I would be able to lose
contact with the friends that I
have met here at LHU through
being Greek. If you are really

I have learned time management, and my grades have

SCC President welcomes students back to university
Dear Students,

! Days are getting shorter,
nights are getting cooler and
soon the leaves will begin to fall.
That's right, you guessed it. It's
that time again. Time for another year of college at good old
Lock Haven University and it's
sure to be a good one! Let me be
the first to welcome all of you
back to the Haven, especially the
new students to campus. As
most of you know, my name is
Rick Harvey and I am returning
to my second term as president
of the Student Cooperative
Council, which is the student
governing body on campus that
oversees a hundred clubs, organizations and sports teams.
This year is promising to be
a great year with a new incoming university president. Dr.
Keith Miller. We are all looking
forward to see how his views
will shape our campus in the
near future. Make sure you all
introduce yourself to him and
his family when given the
Opportunity and help me welthem to our home away
from home. As for the S.C.C.
and activities, it is expected to
be a fun-filled semester with

come

numerous activities planned to
take place each week, including
comedians, artists, musicians
and talent shows which are
being offered to the student body
thanks to the hard work of the
student activities department
and Haven Activities Council. 1
am also proud to announce that
my vice president, Eddie Dove
has founded a school spirit
organization that will kick off
this fall called the "Eagles Nest
Society." ENS members will
attend sporting events and help
boost the morale of the crowd
and lend support to our fellow
student athletes. Make sure you
see Eddie to become a part of
this pride-filled experience!
I hope to see a year of volunteerism, with many scheduled
charity-based programs including blood drives, food drives,
fundraisers and the ever-so-popular sleep out for homeless
event. This being an election
year, 1 would also like to encourage all ofyou to begin to make a
difference and voting on
November 3 is a great way to
start. Feel free to stop by our
offices in the Union building to
register TODAY!
With the start of a new year,

we will begin to see a lot of
changes. But to make these
changes happen and to make
way for new things here at LHU.
I need your help!
You can help me by getting
involved in the decision-making
process through running to sit
upon the student senate or by
joining one ofthe many communities that make up the Haven
Activities Council. Getting
involved in these well-respected
positions will allow you to personally have an impact on what
will happen on this campus.
There will be signs posted
throughout campus with further
details on how you can get
involved.
The S.C.C. offices are located in the Parsons Union
Building and I welcome you all
to stop in within the first few
weeks to see what information
and programs we have to offer. I
would again like to welcome
everyone back to the Haven and
I am looking forward to another
great year!
Rick Harvey

ed and I am quicker to voice
my opinion and/or share an
idea. Being in a Greek organization has taught me to come
out of my shell more than I
ever thought 1 would.
Many times I sit and think
about people I know in my
classes who could add so much
to my organization or to another and I just wish that they
would give Greek life a
chance. It just might be your
niche. It is no more dedicated
than a sports team, or any other
club on campus and you can
get so much out of it. So the

time we're serious.
Daniella De Luca
Opinion Editor
You are currently reading the
fourth draft ofmy first opinions
column ever. Introductions
never really were my specialty.
For some reason, this column
seems to be a small challenge
for me, especially in creating a
title for it. I've gone through
draft after draft trying to find the
perfect beginning.
I tried to start it off with
whimsy and lure you in with an
overabundance ofadjectives and
excessive verbiage. I then
attempted to be overly intellectual, and that bit the dust somewhere after the version where I
took a crack at being clever and
witty. That brings me to
here...page four of the word
document titled "SomethingDani's Column."
It was then that I realized
that I wanted this column to be
about you and your opinions,
not stricdy me and mine.
This is where I ask you as a
faithful reader, a skimmer, a
classifieds ads reader, an Eagle
Eye basher, a sports-only type,
oreven if you are a first-timer, to
help me create a name for this
column.

For now, it has been dubbed
"You Name It" for obvious reasons...because well...I want
you to! Here 1 am, giving you a
say. That's what I anticipate this
column to be about. A chance for
others to voice their opinions,
and 1 as opinions editor will
expand upon those ideas.
An opinions page should not
simply consist of one person's
views on an issue, but instead a
wide array of people and viewpoints, both positive and negative. The stories would grow
rather dull if they were always
all about me or all revolved
around my viewpoints.
I want opinions! I expect
conflict. I anticipate action and
drama. But first, I need a title.
So, send your ideas, thoughts,
opinions or anything else that's
on your mind to me at our brand
new e-mail address: lhueagleye@yahoo.com with the word
"Opinions" in the subject line.
Credit will be given to the person (or people) who comes up
with the title that we feel bestsuits the paper. The deadline is
Monday, Sept. 13 at 4:00 p.m.
And remember, submissions for
letters to the editor are always
open. It's your paper, so what is
it that you want to read?

The goals for the Lock

meets they will be happy.
The men would love to
repeat as conference/regional
champs and place in the top 8
at the national
championships, and the women want
to move up in the PSAC
rankings.
Based on their excellent
results last year, and the
promise of the runners, these

goals are surely in reach.

the team to progress at every

can't wait to get a second

this time he "wants to show

Craft feels that competing
on the college level is much
more difficult than competing on the high school level.
"It requires a lot more time,
but it is also much more satisfying and rewarding." Craft
says a main goal of the team
is to always encourage each

With times of 14:53 and

the race in 15:09.
Also in the top 25 were

Jeff Skwicrz and Greg Davis
placing 12th. 13th. 14th and
16th respectively.
Coach Aaron Russell
asked the men to go out a bit
conservatively at the start
and run with patience, and
they did.
"It allowed them to finish
strongly, even though I've
�

been practicing them very
hard. I'm pleased with their
places." Russell was also
very pleased with Mailman's
third place finish and expects
to see him play a vital role in
what this team docs at the
end of the year.
Kat Davey had reason to
celebrate after running her
threc-milcr in 18:33. For the
first time in her collegiate
career she completed the
meet in first place.
Three of her teammates
also placed in the top 25.
Junior co-captain
Sarah

time of 19:40 and freshmen
Missy Weaver and April
Salinas, in her first cross
country race, were impressive with finishes of 19th and
20th. Robertson is pleased
with the team. "We want to
work together, work hard and
have fun. We have a strong
team and 1 think we can really show the conference that
we mean business."
Russell
thinks
that
Davey's dedication to her
summer conditioning has
helped elevate her confidence and has helped her to
see what she's capable of.
"She's tough, and is definitely going to push the leaders
in every race she's in."

Eagle's Nest takes
flight with new look
Matt Fedyniak
Sports Reporter
If you are looking to get loud
and just plain crazy, the Eagles
Nest Society is the club to join.
Thc purpose ofthis club is to
promote school spirit by going
to sporting events and cheering
on our Haven athletes.
Although there have always
been dedicated fans in past
years, this is the first year that
there is an official SCC sponsored club.
Thc club's advisor is Jody
Smith, and the club's president
is our Student Cooperative
Council Vice President, Eddie
Dove.
The club's plan for this football season is to have non-alcoholic tailgate parties for two
home games. The first one will

take place on Homecoming.
Saturday October 16 and the
second one being held at the last
home game of thc season, on
Saturday. October 30.
Thc tailgating will take place
in the Hubert Jack Stadium
parking lot, by the locker rooms,
where the opposing team can be
sure to receive a warm welcome
from the Eagles Nest.
The club will also offer an
opportunity to travel with the
football team. The Haven
Activites Council will be sponsoring two bus trips to the road
games in Bloomsburg and
Mansfield. Ticket prices are to
be announced closer to the
dates.
As for the basketball season,
the Eagles Nest will be at all
Men's and Women's home
games. The Nest is seated under

the basket closest to the visitor's
bench.

on the team's third play, Harris
was not technically a starter.
Jason Colson, who rushed for 64
yards on 13 carries, held that
distinction after winning a
lengthy battle for the tailback
job during summer camp.
When asked about his feats,
Harris was quick to credit the
guys up front.
"My offensive line did a hell

"Michael is going to be volunteer assistant for the program,
which means that he will be

team," Bowman said. "He will
be able to train with the team

PROVO, Utah
Despite
facing a multi-million dollar
lawsuit from a former athlete,
Brigham Young University
remains confident there is no
case due to their history in providing him with the medical
attention he has needed.
Former BYU baseball player
Scott Koffman is suing the university for an injury he sustained
to his back during a weight lifting exercise in 2001. In his suit
he claimed it ruined his professional career and is seeking $9.6
million in damages.
"We felt that we know his
situation well and that we have
responded in every way we
thought was appropriate," said

David Thomas, defense attorney

for the university. "His medical
condition has been serviced by
the training room and his back
surgeries are all things we have
taken care of and paid for."
It came as a surprise that
Koffman brought this suit
against the university.
"I feel like he was treated
well by the university and that
we have extended ourselves,"
Thomas said. "So we're disappointed. We thought we provid-

$9.2M lawsuit
ed him with good service, and
it's unfortunate that he did get an
injury, but injuries are not
uncommon in athletics."
According to Thomas, these
types of lawsuits are rare at
BYU.
"1 am always surprised to sec
how few of these claims we
have," Thomas said, "which I
think speaks to the proposition
that we treat our people really
well."
Due to the pending nature ol
the trial, details ofthe case could
not be discussed.
"We are aware ofthe matter;
however, we do not believe
there is a case here," said Carri
Jenkins, university spokeswoman. "Because we are now in
active litigation, thc university
will not be able to comment further on this case."

Music Review
Together We're Heavy by: The Polyphonic Spree
Three Stars
Edward Savoy
Staff Reporter
It seems that many operating
musicians and bands of thc current era arc in dire need (and arc
desirous of) a time machine.
For example, one could easily
imagine Norah Jones back in the
early 195()'s, before the rock
explosion, just gently grooving
with Nat King Cole or Bing

musically, they would have been
a perfect and glorious fit in the
time.
The Polyphonic Spree is a
group that, at least as it stands
now, you won't likely hear on
Top 40 radio; it is far more likely that George W. Bush will start
sending John Kerry love letters.
The reason that you won't hear
The Polyphonic Spree on radio
is that they are far too ambitious
for their own commercial good.

Mysterious credits create
twenty years of wonder
Matt Connor
The Eagle Eye
It has lasted, largely unnoticed, for nearly a quarter century, on a corner of the oldest
building on campus, an obscure
little curiosity that remains
today a kind ofthumb print from
a group of former students who
left a little of themselves behind
at LHU.
Walk behind Roger's Gym
today and stand on the
Southwest comer of thc building, so that Robinson is behind
you and Akeley is on your left.
Just below eye level are a series
of words written in chalk on the
bricks: "A FILM BY DIRK
AND BY DOUG AND BYE
TIME." There's a copyright
symbol dated 1981 and the letter
K surrounded by a circle.
Throughout my college
career. I was oddly curious
about that bit of writing, and
now. as an alum, I finally found
out the secret of that peculiarly
long-lasting chalk phrase. More
on that in a moment. First let me
till you in a little on my strange
obsession with "Dirk and Doug
and Bye Time."
In 1982, I was a junior in
high school, touring thc LHU
campus for the first time. In
those days before inexpensive
v ideo equipment, 1 had a passing
interest in filmmaking and had
made a few Super 8 Millimeter
home movies, writing thc scripts
myself, casting family members
in the parts, and using household
items when needed as props.
They were pretty cheesy affairs,
but they gave my family and me
a lot of laughs back then.
So when I toured the campus
with my parents and little sister
back in the early 1980s, and my
eyes fell upon the "Dirk and
Doug and Bye Time" scribble on
the wall ofa campus building, it
immediately drew my attention.
Someone, clearly, had used the
side of the building as part ofthe
credits of a student film.
Immediately my imagination
conjured up visions of creative
young people
gritty and
disheveled but with their own
kind of intense glamour - assembling bits of celluloid comedy
and tragedy, with universityowned film equipment, and getting college credit for it.
Between that and the beer. 1
decided, college was going to be
a great time.

I started at LHU in 1983 and

1 don't think there was ever a
time when I walked down the
driveway between Akeley and
Rogers that my eyes didn't stray
to that bit ofchalk writing on the
wall. As the years went by, and
thc chalk writing seemed
remarkably impervious to time
and weather, my curiosity about
it grew.
Occasionally. I would ask
one of my professors about it.
Most had never noticed thc
"Dirk and Doug" inscription,
and when it was pointed out to
them, each simply shrugged
their shoulders and pleaded
ignorance.

however. I was no closer to discovering the story behind "Dirk
and Doug," then I had been a

half-decade earlier. The 80s
passed into the 90s and the 90s
into the 00s. Occasionally when
I would walk around campus as
an alum, I'd visit the "Dirk and
Doug" comer ofRogers to see if
it was still there. Once, a visiting
friend was shooting some video
on campus, and I told him to
point the camera at the "Dirk
and Doug" inscription. I then
began a rant which my friend

him to hysterics: "What is this

"He was pacified. Instead, I

Doug and Bye Time and why
did they write this! What is
going on here! How has this
chalk writing lasted this long!
Will someone answer this nagging question? Will my curiosity
ever be satisfied? I'm going nuts
here!"
Then, last year, after being
presented with an alumni award
from
the
Journalism
Department, J went back to that
rear comer of Rogers to see if
the "Dirk and Doug" inscription
was still intact. This time I
dragged Dr.s Douglas Campbell
and Karen Kline along with me
to see if they could shed any
light on the "Dirk and Doug"
mystery. They were as befuddled as I was. But now 1 was
truly determined to get to the
bottom ofthis story.
Earlier this year, I suddenly
had a brainstorm. I would go to
the Graduation Year Index ofthe
LHU Alumni Directory and
search for the name "Dirk" in
the years 1981, 82 and 83. It
only took a few minutes to
locate Dirk Schenck. Class of
1983. There was a phone number, so 1 called and left a message. Then I googled him and
found out he was a Rockland,
Maryland-based educational
professional. On his company's
website I found an email
address, so I contacted him by
email, too.
And thus the secret history
of "Dirk and Doug and Bye
Time" was finally revealed to
me after two decades ofnagging
curiosity.
"Yes, 1 am the'Dirk' of'Dirk
and Doug and Bye Time,"
Schenck wrote to me via email.
"1 made a short film for a class
(CT2I0) and needed to film the
credits. The thought crossed my
mind to simply scribble a few
lines on Rogers with chalk."
CT210 was most likely
Communication Technology, a
course taught by the late Ralph
Dessenburger in the School of

to wipe offthe chalk after he had

Artist Bruce Erikson, 35,
of Pittsburgh presented a solo
exhibition of his paintings
last night in the John Sloan
Fine Arts Building. Erikson
developed an admiration for
art at the age of eight but
began his art education at the
age of 23 at Edinboro
University of Pennsylvania
where he studied drawing, art
history and classical guitar
and graduated Magna Cum
Laude. He later received his
Master of Fine Arts Degree in
painting
from
Indiana
University. Erikson's influences include artists such as
Caravaggio, Antonio Lopez
Garcia, Rembrandt and writer
Susan Stewart.
Many of his works are
reminiscent of dreams thc
artist had. He enjoys recreating thc images repeatedly in
order to gain a better incite
into the functions of his
brain. Many of his works also
represent the artist's relationship with his father, a laborer
in a steel mill with a stomach
ailment, his mother, who suffered of ovarian cancer, and

wrote, during visits to the LHU

campus, he'd stroll over to
Rogers in much the same way I
had, to see if the "Dirk and
Doug" inscription was still
there.
"And to my surprise it
remained," Schenck wrote. "It
cracks me up to this day."
According to Schenck, the
"Doug" of "Dirk and Doug" is
Douglas Hartman, who now
resides in Lcwisburg. "Time" is
Tim DeSanto of Fort Wayne.
Ind., the son of the late Dr.
Charles DeSanto. The encircled
letter K was meant to signify
Karen Kellcrman, a former student whose current whereabouts
are unknown.
Schenck, DeSanto and
Hartman remain friends to this
day, and often see each other
socially.
After getting this initial bit
of information, I attempted to
glean more information from
Schenck via email and voicemail messages. I was curious to
see his student film, if he still
had a copy, for example. I
requested a photo for use with
this article. I wanted to hear
other tales ofhis college experience, and how his life had
turned out post-LHU.
At least so far. those messages have not been returned.
But maybe that's as it should
be. Perhaps it's better to leave a
bit of the "Dirk and Doug and
Bye Time" story in the realm of
mystery. But let's tip our hats to
a group ofrebellious undergrads
who reached for a bit of immortality and gained a measure of it
on a wall of Rogers Gym.
But always remember: It's
illegal to deface school property.

his grandparents who were
immigrants from Poland and
Sweden. Erikson is very
interested in depicting the
labor class through his art
pieces and conveys them as
bettering themselves through
hard work.
Erikson has a love for the
human figure which he developed through several anatomy courses and also through
working at a morgue during
his graduate studies. The
images he derived from the
latter are usually depicted in
gruesome and nightmarish
ways because the unpleasant
images he viewed during his
job revealed themselves to
him in his dreams.
After the artist returned
from studying in Italy on a
scholarship during his graduate studies he thought his
work might be too imitative
and started putting more
expression into his paintings.
He dabbled with the philosophy of sympathetic projection
in which a person imitates the
acts of others in order to
commiserate better with
them. He would paint a nude
young man in uncomfortable
positions that suffered with
the same stomach ailment his

father had in order to recreate
the emotions his father felt
and the way Erikson felt
about his father's illness as

well.

Over all. Erikson's works
are symbolic of the need to
kill certain elements of his
past and revise them repetitively for his own psychological and emotional needs. He
explores the activities he
grew up with in rural
Pennsylvania such as gardening, woodcutting and deer
hunting. He paints these
things into the murals of him
and his father to represent the

barricade of excessive work
and over compensation put up
between the child and parent.
Erikson believes spiritual and
poetic elements are extremely
important to an art piece.
;
Bruce Erikson's art exhibit was the first of eight exhibitions to take place this academic year in the John Sloan
Fine Arts Building. There
will be three more this fall
and four to take place in the
spring, which includes two
graduating senior art shows.
The event was sponsored by
the art department and
catered by the Fine Arts
Society.
