After nearly three weeks of
amped vigilance and awareness
resulting from the sexual assault
of two female students on Feb. 1,
the university and community of
Lock Haven were able to rest a
little easier as the suspect was
arrested last Wednesday.
Domenique Thomas Wilson,
23, of Philadelphia faces 36 criminal counts, 12 of which are
felonies stemming from the
ordeal during which he allegedly
held three students with a knife
against their will for more than
four hours and raped two of
them.
Wilson's charges include rape,
robbery, burglary, involuntary
deviate sexual intercourse, criminal trespass, theft, receiving
stolen property, access device
fraud, criminal attempt at access
device fraud, unlawful restraint,
false imprisonment, indecent
assault, simple assault and terroristic threats.
Wilson's twelfth felony charge
was added after he allegedly
tried to escape from the Clinton
County Correctional Facility last
Friday.
The crimes took place at the

The bi-weekly meeting
of the Bentley Coffee

lovers of the caffeinated
beverage, was held on
Thursday, Feb. 19, in the
lower portion of Bentley
Dining Hall.
The club's gatherings
allow for any coffee lover
on campus to taste and
discuss selected samples.
Students and campus
employees have had the
opportunity to become
involved
since
last

"The club was formed
due to student feedback
that they wanted to try
more of the diverse coffee
offerings in Bentley, but
didn't know where to
start.
It's intended to
provide a variety of
tastes and help them
decide what they like
without having to pay for

LHU looks at black history
Chris Hoskavich
Perspectives Editor
choskavitolhup.edu
Price Auditorium played host to a
black history celebration Thursday.
The event, titled "2009 Black History
Showcase, African Art, Music, and
Literature: Exploring the Journey from
Black Faces to Black Entertainment,"
was sponsored by the Office of Human
Culture and Diversity.
Ruby Graves, an event coordinator for
the office, organized the show.
"I just thought it would be something
nice, an opportunity for everyone to come
together collectively as a university community and celebrate Black History
Month," she said.
In preparing for the event, Graves
enlisted support from a number of
sources.
"I opened it up to a lot of people; I got
different clubs and organizations and
individual people to be a part of it," she
said.
The show was designed to focus on
four aspects ofAfrican American culture:
music, dance, literature and the performing arts.
The event opened with a slideshow
depicting black contributions to dance at
different times as James Brown played
in the background.
The focus of the show then shifted to
literature.

Charles Banks read an excerpt from
"As I Grow Up" by Langston Hughes, followed by Roderick Crum reading from a
Malcolm X speech.
These readings lead into the next
slideshow, which featured such writers
as Maya Angelou, Booker T. Washington
and Alice Walker.
After the slideshow. Shalia DeShields
and Demetreus Addison read original
poems.

Jhante' Belt, Paulette Davidson and
Carlicia Lomax began the music portion
of the show by singing "Lift Every Voice,"
which was followed by a slideshow of
black musicians including Billie Holiday,
Muddy Waters, Tina Turner and Ray
Charles.
Charles Banks capped off the music
section by playing a rendition of KC and
JoJo's "All My Life" on the piano.
Next was a slideshow focusing on
black contributions to the performing
arts that included Danny Glover, Redd
Foxx and Richard Pryor.
After the slideshow,
Paulette
Davidson and Carlicia Lomax performed
a dance routine.
Graves said that the theme of the
show was evolution.
"I just want [students] to appreciate
the progress that's been made," she said.
She also hopes this will not be the last
event of its kind.
"I hope that it could be a tradition
that keeps going," she said.

that Buddha is the "awakened one" or the "enlightened one" who founded
Buddhism.
Buddhism is based on
beliefs that by following
the Noble Eightfold path
and by eliminating dissatisfaction one can reach
nirvana.
According to Buddha's
teachings discussed by
Birsch, there are the four
Noble Truths.
The first Noble Truth
is that life is or involves
dissatisfaction.
The
second Noble
Truth is that the origin of
dissatisfaction is craving
or intense desire.
The third Noble Truth
is that dissatisfaction can
be eliminated by eradicating craving.
The fourth Noble Truth
explains that following the
Noble Eightfold Path will
lead to the elimination of
craving and dissatisfaction.
The Noble Eightfold
Path consists of the Right
View or understanding of
nature and the Noble
Truths.
The Right Though or
Intent combines the developmental thought, love,
kindness and compassion.

How to succeed after graduation

Step 1: Making the most of a job search
Marcelle Stoppay
Staff Reporter
mstoppayf" lhup.edu
In an effort to share
her experiences for a successful job search, director
of career services, Joan
Welker, presented "How to
conduct a Job Search" on
Feb. 9.

1.Start with

self-assessment
To begin a successful
job search, you must start
with a self-assessment.
Know what you like to do
and what you are good at.
What special skills do
you have that will make
you a good candidate for
the position?
Also consider what is
important to you. Do you
like to be outdoors or
inside?
Do you want a job that
allows you to be creative
or do you prefer repeti-

tion? Know what makes
you happy.
Assess your experience
in the field you are interested in. What academic
preparation do you have?
Explain what you have
gained from class assignments, summer jobs or
internships.
You might also benefit
from volunteer work or
campus
employment.
Have you gained organizational or leadership skills
through your involvement?

2. Search for
job descriptions
and qualifica-

tions required
Next research and
explore
career
your
options. Using the career
services library or online
resources, find job descriptions, qualifications and
requirements for various
positions.

3. Shadow a
professional to

test-drive your
career
Attend informational
interviews or shadow a
professional to test-drive
potential
careers.
Volunteering or part-time
employment will also give
you direction into what
you like and what you
don't like doing.
"Those first two steps,
self assessment
and
researching and exploring
career options, should be
done well before it's time
to begin a job search," said
Welker. "Unfortunately, I
see seniors every year who
are getting ready to graduate and haven't started
the process."

Dress professionally
and refrain from bringing

If you need to have it
for emergency reasons,
put it on silent or turn it
off. It is rude and distracting for a call or text message to interrupt an interview. It is also considered
distracting to chew gum
during an interview as
well.
Lastly, collect business

over.
Ask the interviewer
what the next step is in
the process, and if you can
call for follow-up information.
Send a thank-you letter
shortly after the interview.

Dear Editor,

In your last edition I noted that there was an article
regarding a two game suspension of men's basketball
coach, John Wilson, Jr. After reading the article I was
very confused as to why coach Wilson was serving a two
game suspension when, at least according to the article,
he simply did what any coach would do—put an eligible
player into a game that had academic clearance to play.
The article noted that an inadvertent error caused
the player, Justin Wilson, to be academically cleared to
play basketball and that the administration ofthe institution in a rush to judgment sent erroneous facts to the
NCAA indicating that Coach Wilson was to blame for
using an academically ineligible player.
The NCAA using these institutionally self-reported
incorrect facts then ordered a two game suspension for
Coach Wilson. It would seem that if the administration
of Lock Haven University would have done some minimal
due diligence fact checking before they sent their

Without the Internet,

where exactly would one

Napster's heyday ended
last decade, there is
always a way to find any
digital material free of
charge.
In 2001, Bram Cohen
invented a peer-to-peer
file sharing protocol that
he dubbed BitTorrrent.
This new method of distribution enabled thousands
of people to simultaneous-

ly share and download the
same file at rapid speeds
without the centralized
hub required for other
methods. The only catch
was there needed to be
Web sites from which to
download the small files
that would power the
downloading
through
BitTorrent programs.
At that time, numerous
Web sites sprung up to
battle for supremacy, but
years later, one would
clearly take reign as the
largest, The Pirate Bay.
Alexa Internet ranks The
Pirate Bay Web site as the
109th most popular on the
Internet. From their enormous site, one can find
almost anything they
desire whether that be a
random Spider Man comic
or the complete Josh
Groban discography.
Of course, running a
site such as this is not
without
peril.

called, "the most visible

have brought four key
members of The Pirate
Bay team to trial because
of what they perceive to be
their intentional facilitation of copyright infringement. The legalities of
what they have been
charged with have been
beaten to death over the
last 10 years, but what is
unique in this situation is
the defendant's ability to
create a mockery of the
court system.
On their Web site dedicated to covering their
trial, a great deal of their
posts are related to a massive party they were having last Friday. Earlier
last week, after their
lawyer deployed what is
now known as, "The King
Kong Defense," which
boils down to the necessity

group of people greatly

their home country.
Therein lies the beauty
of the Internet. It has not
only created all the obvious implications, but it
has created a class of people, usually quite young,
who are rapidly changing
the world from backrooms

Politics invade comics

Art is reproducible and
mass-marketed, but even
the "lowest" media incorporates
the prevalent
issues of the day and
sometimes even change
the
minds of those
involved.
Art is a medium—it
represents a culture and
its ideals. However, art
can be both high and low,
and nowadays, the low
culture seems to be winning out. Comic books are
a "low" art form, and yet
they are a distinctive
means of communication.
They are reproducible
and able to reach the
masses, and maybe that is
why they are so looked
down upon. Last weekend
at the New York Comic
Convention (also known as
ComicCon) this base society of comic books showed
that even the "lowest" art
form reflects the society
upon which it is based on.
Art is reproducible and
mass-marketed, but even
the "lowest" media incorporates
the prevalent
issues of the day and
sometimes even change
the
minds
of those
involved. Comics reflect
society, regardless of class,
age, and gender.
Comic books are not
impressionist paintings or

classical Greek sculptures.
They're mostly not one-ofa-kind
and
priceless
(though who wouldn't
want
the
original
Superman strip?). Many
people can afford to buy a
comic book, and that is
why the medium is considered below other art.
However, mass availability has its advantages.
Comic books have created
obsessive fans and complete genres of entertainment, and movies are a
prime example. Movies
bring millions of fans
together to enjoy one experience. The people's recognition of comic books give
them and their characters
the power to reach greater
populations and influence
their opinions to some
extent. Everyone knows
the X-Men. Everyone
knows Clark Kent.
People think that all
comic books are about
superheroes and frivolous
adventures, but nowadays, the world of comics
has welcomed more serious material into its lineup. Though everyone associates comic books with
Spider-Man, Superman,
Batman and Wonder
Woman, there's much
more teeming beneath the
surface.
Spider-Man
is "no
longer just a hero fighting
bad guys in an imaginary
world. The new Marvel
Spider-Man issue pictures
President Barack Obama
on the cover. In the story,
Spider-Man meets Obama

and even talks basketball
with him. The comic-book
art form allows everyone
from an adult to a toddler
to enjoy a one-on-one session with the president. A
comic book reader feels
more connected with the
president by seeing him
chat with his favorite
superhero.
The mass production of
comic books has allowed
even politicians to reach
more supporters. In the
past, comics were the
satirical enemies of public
figures—now politicians
are patrons of the medium. Indeed, a writer and
artist even hitched on to
Obama's staff during the
election tour.
They
documented
everything that happened
so they could put it into
graphic
novel
form.
Throughout the book,
Hillary Clinton, John
McCain, Joe Biden and
many others are featured.
Both Clinton and McCain
have eerie lines and
angles on their faces
which make the audience
cringe—the visual informs
its readers while also subtly shaping their attitude
towards different political
figures.
For Obama, the great
accessibility of graphic
novels and comics like
Spider-Man helped him
win over supporters that
he perhaps couldn't have
reached otherwise.
Politics have not only
invaded comics, but also
the associated merchan-

disc. Even without directly drawing the president
and the vice president,
other comic book producers have taken economic
advantage of renewed
interest in politics.
artist,
One
John
Gallagher, took his likeable teenage hero and put
him on a T-shirt in the
likeness of the red. white,
and blue Obama face.
Then the hero. Buzzboy,
attracts both the young
and the older more
informed reader. The merchandise follows the
immense popularity of the
comics and helps to garner
more enthusiasm from its
fans.
Not only the artists
and writers, but also the
retailers have taken oil
politics. Alex Ross, a
famed comic book artist
known for his depiction of
Superman tearing off his
suit, did an impressive
rendition of Obama in the
same position.
The image has been
put on T-shirts and sweatshirts as an inside joke:
Obama as the new
Superman, or maybe even
more than Superman.
Even at the New York
ComicCon, the optimism
for Obama's future runs
strongly in the? air.
Though comic books are
"low art," their reproducibility and mass market allow them to encompass the current issues
affecting our American
culture.

"It was not meant to be racist, but unfortunately, it was interpreted by
many as such. We all hold the readers of the New York Post in high

Bringing together large
groups of people to produce quality music can

However, Dr. Craig

the ability to unite people

On Saturday, the Bald

match against Clarion (813, 1-5 EWL) could be

It wasn't special because it

Hyatt caught up scoring a

In the third Hyatt

but looked like he was

received one point for the
slam, which was enough to
send the 8-8 match into

Arre who learned he had

Last season the No. 5

Lacrosse team finished
with a 16-4 record overall
and 12-2 in PSAC action.
Coach Kristen Geissler
felt that the Lady Eagles
did well last season, but
hopes the team will
improve.

Geissler knows the
team has certain goals
they want to achieve this
season.
"Win the conference
title, Win a national title.
That is what we want,"

said Geissler.

Last season injuries
limited the Lady Eagles,
forcing some of the Lady
Eagles to not play up to

their strengths. Some of
the offensive players had
to play midfield, but as the
new season approaches
that won't be a problem as
the team is healthy and
ready to compete.
They will have some
tough matches as they're
in the same conference as
the defending national
champions, West Chester.
This year depth will
not be an issue.
Geissler commented
that this years offense,
lead by Allison Berger,
Kayleigh Johnson, Jamie
Uzialko and Kari Sielski,
is smarter. Pointing out
that the offense knows
what to look for in opposing defenses, how to read
them and how to counteract them.
The midfield, according
to Geissler, has become
faster and "feistier". Led
by captains Leigh Titus
and Amber Hoch, they will
look to keep Lock Haven

in control of their matches. Titus will look to
repeat her All-American
performance this season.
Joining them at Midfield

be

trust in defending the goal
is going to be important
and they will succeed with
that.
Aside from improving
on their last season the
Lacrosse team will play
their first season on the
new Charlotte Smith field,

formerly McCollum field.
"I think it is beautiful. I
love the echo and how it
stays on the field," said
Geissler "I love students
getting out of class and
seeing a Lacrosse game
and watching."
The new field will provide an advantage to the
Lady Eagles as most
teams aren't used to playing on the turf Charlotte
Smith is made of. The
Lady Eagles will capitalize on this advantage with
their speed, giving opponents a hard time to keep
up with the speedy midfield.
The Lady Eagles will
begin their season in
South Carolina, for several games. Their first listed
match is against Converse
College on March 4. The
first home game for the
Lady Eagles will be on
March 11 against IUP.

kgladtolhup.edu
Coming into her third
season, Coach Heather
Leverington has not only
shown what an effective
track and field coach she
can be, but also has the
experience as an athlete to
help the LHU track and
field teams become successful.
Leverington is a graduate of Emporia State
University, where she was
a champion shot putter.
She won five national
titles at ESU. Her distance of 54-feet 2.75-inches is the current record at
ESU and is the second
best in Division II history.
As a student athlete for
the ESU Hornets she was
a nine-time conference
champion, seven-time AllAmerican and two-time
student athlete of the
year.

Her most memorable
moment as a student athlete was during her senior
year when Emporia State
won the conference title,
when many thought they
wouldn't win it. It is experiences such as these that
help here relate with the

student athletes of LHU.
"My experiences give
student athletes perspective at trials and meets,"
said Leverington, something she has learned
from her past coaches.
She briefly coached at
ESU and while she was on
the coaching staff, the
Hornets experienced some
success. During her time
there, they earned 13 conference honors, five AllAmerican honors and had
16 national qualifiers.
After graduating ESU.

Leverington
When
came to Lock Haven, she
provided a new perspective for the students.
"(The best part has
been) the experience of
being in a different area,
with different values. It
has been fun getting to
know them (the athletes)
and help give them something to use for life and
not just the present," said
Leverington.

Russell.
While on the track and

After graduating from
Lock Haven, Russell saw

With all the talent

Bailey is recovering

who can provide some

The UpWrite Reading
Series
its
expanded
already impressive lineup
of authors by welcoming a
playwright to campus
Wednesday, Feb. 18.
The series provided the
chance for students to
meet playwright J. Rufus
Caleb,
play,
whose
was
"Benny's Place,"
adapted into a play, as
well as a TV film on ABC.
Students came to hear
what Caleb had to say
about his play being
adapted into a movie, and
the success that came
along with it.
Success is only one way
to describe the adaptation.
"Benny's Place" was the

fifth winner of ABC's
Theater Award. Cicely
Tyson plays a gentle
woman who comforts
Benny, played by Louis
Gossett Jr., after he was
mugged. The plot focuses
on a prideful man who is
realizing that he is aging
and younger people are
moving up in the world.
Caleb was introduced to
the crowd of about 100
students so he could
explain the filmmaking
process of his play.
Caleb,
typically
a
reserved man, announced
that he was a little nervous speaking before a
crowd, despite the fact
that he is a college professor.
"I started off with a trip
to New York City to meet
the producers," said Caleb.
"Afterward, I spent three
weeks in Los Angeles
rewriting scenes from the
play over and over again
in order to make it just

right for the film."
After explaining the
filmmaking process, Caleb
showed the film version of
"Benny's Place" to the students. Following the film,
students were given the
opportunity to ask Caleb
about
the
questions
process, along with his
thoughts on the film and
the play.
One student asked,
"How did you feel about
the film adaptation compared to the play?" Caleb
answered saying that the
adaptation of the film
matched the play almost
perfectly, except for the
fact that they changed the
ending and added one
scene.
Caleb was also asked
about his inspirations for
the play.
"I never really kept
track," he said. "There are
that
personal
things
resulted in the character
of Benny, and my father

inspired the idea that honest work for honest pay is
a strong value that should
be held."
On
Thursday,
February 19 at 7:30 p.m.
in Sloan Auditorium, LHU
theatre students performed a scene from the
play. Caleb also stuck
around to talk about his
work with English students.
Nicole
In
Dr.
Burkholder-Mosco's filmand literature class, Caleb
spoke about the difficulties of turning a screenplay into a film or play.
The class discussed his
screenplay, "I Walked On
A Dark and Dangerous
Moon" and students were
able to ask Caleb questions about finding inspiration for stories and
imagining the adaptation
as the story unfolds on
paper.

Caleb told students
that while the director of

Caleb also talked
about the joys of
being a writer and
said that while none of his
characters are based on
himself, he feels that it's
impossible for a writer not
to put a piece of him or
herself into each piece of
writing.
For students interested
in writing for film, TV or
plays, Caleb's visit was a
unique opportunity and
helped the idea of playwriting come to life.
Caleb is an associate
professor of English at the
Community College of

Philadelphia.
receieved fellowships from
the Pennsylvania Arts
Council and his fiction and
poetry have appeared in
journals such as Obsidian,
Shenandoah, and the
William and Mary Review.
He continues to write
screenplays.

the film version was very
easy to work with, it just
wasn't possible to completely retain the vision
Caleb had for the script.
He told the class that even
though he and the director
had many of the same
ideas about the story, it
wasn't possible due to the
time frame for the film
and the setting to include
all the elements of the
screenplay.
Another aspect of writing for film or plays that
Caleb talked about was
the difficulty in finding
actors who match the idea
a writer gets of the way
the character should look
and act. Caleb said for "I
Walked On A Dark and
Dangerous Moon," he had
a specific actress in mind
to play the main character, Laurel, and this
helped him decide what
she should say and how
she should walk, talk and
look.

"Whether or not it turns
into something somewhere down the road, I'm
not sure how far I'd want
to go. It's about the music,
not the money."
For now, they will continue to play the local
scene, which includes a
performance
Friday,
February 27, at Caffeine
Nation from 8-10 p.m.
They have also recently
been working on a CD,
and plan to release it
March 13, when they will
be playing at Avenue 209
again from 7-10 p.m.
"We just love making
music; that's what it all
comes down to. The writing and creating, the
experiences we have
we really don't have a
choice but to continue
playing; when you love
something, you have to do
it," said Rinard.
Noy also commented,
""Music goes so much
deeper than just words,
and that's what I love
about it; it's a true expression of self."

From, 110, B8

Some
songs
they
played Friday night were:
"Waterfront", "Buskers
Song", "Empty Words",
and
Song",
"Prison
"Orpheus".
"Water Front" is a folk
character song written in
the voice of a sailor, who
is finally coming home to
the girl who has been
waiting for him: ["I work
on the waterfront / drive
the fishing lines / when
the water is dark and cold
/ you won't find me for
miles."]
Rinard wrote "Buskers
Song" while
studying
abroad
Scotland.
in
Busking is the practice of
performing all entertainment, not just music, in
public places for tips and
gratuities, and the song is
about the join of community and music: ["Got
kicked out of an arts fest /
guess it's not really art / if
it's not making them
money / the art police
have guns."]
Words",
"Empty
according to Rinard, is
about "words we use all
the
time
that
are
like
abstract,
freedom,
liberty, and democracy.
Words that, if we don't
engage them, if we don't
question their meaning,

become empty and no
longer exist": ["I'm glad
we can live in ignorance /
life
without
imagine
exploitive bliss / see we
don't have to think of
what it moans / to drop
humanitarian aid with F16's."]
"Prison Song" is another folk character song
about a man escaping jail,
and running away to find
freedom in music and
community: ["I got / no
cares and nothing to
worry, / two shoes and a
torn black hat. / I got / no
cares and nothing to
worry, / just an 6-string
and the shirt on my back,
yeah."] Rinard said, "He
basically becomes a hobo
and finds freedom from
social constraint; it's
metaphorical."
"Orpheus" is based on
a Greek myth: Orpheus,
the son of the god Apollo
and the muse Calliope,
travels
into
the
Underworld to retrieve
his lover, Eurydice, after
she steps on a poisonous
snake on their wedding
day and dies. With his
music, he charms Hades
into allowing him to bring
Eurydice back with him,
under one condition: he
must not look back to see
her, or she would be lost
to him forever. He could
not hear her following

not resist a look back as
they were only moments
from entering into life
once again, and she was
gone.

"There are a few different versions. I personally
like the one where he
reaches out for her
instead; it's more romantic," said Rinard.
Written from Orpheus'

perspective, the song was
inspired by "Sonnets to
Orpheus", a book by
Rainer
Maria
Rilke:
["Now this darkness / is
closing in / my hand is
clasped / on a breath of
wind. / I hear your voice /
in every blade of grass /
this is the last song / our
art
is
long
past."]
Listeners found this song
to be particularly unique.
"Orpheus' combines a
literary allusion and a
great tune, which really
shows the depth of their
talent," said senior Jenn
Sine.
The
guys of
110

110 Linden
involves crowd in
performance at
newly opened
coffeeshop
Danielle TopperStaff Reporter

Avenue 209, the coffee
house
that
recently
opened downtown, has
proved to be not only a
convenient place to get
together with friends over
a latte, but also a great
opportunity for the local
music scene to gain recognition from Lock Haven's
students and community.
Friday, February 19, they
were host to 110 Linden,
an acoustic/folk rock duo.
Mike Rinard and Felix
Noy have been playing
together for the past five
years. Rinard, who does
guitar, vocals, and piano,
started playing guitar at
age 14, and piano years
before that. Noy, who does
djembe, cajon, harmonica,
and percussion, has also
been playing most of his
life, and started learning
guitar a couple years ago.
The two of them have a
unique sound, due to a
wide range of musical
influences; "I don't think I
could narrow it down. We
just draw from what we
like to listen to, which is
basically everything," said
Rinard.
The band played from
7 to 10:30 p.m. Friday
night, and made quite an
impression on listeners.
"With this coffee house,
we have given a special
quality to Lock Haven,
and 110 Linden's uniqueness has, in turn, given a
special quality to Avenue
209," said Kelly Monks, an
Avenue 209 employee.
"I personally like the
fact that we're both
street
named. after
addresses," said senior
Emma Belcastro and fellow Avenue 209 employee.
The coffee house was
packed with people, students and Lock Haven residents alike; employees
were seen pulling in extra
chairs at various points
during the performance.

The audience filled every
table, lined every windowsill, and stood everywhere in between. 110
Linden allowed several
people to share their space
on the stage, an action
that did not go unnoticed.
"Fostering a sense of
community, it was great
to have 110 Linden here,
but once they started
pulling people in from the
crowd to sing, it just made
it that much better," said
Jared Conti, also an
Avenue 209 employee.
According to Rinard,
"We love to combine gen
res, and make it more
than just watching us
play; if we can involve the
audience and create more
of that community feeling,
we're going to do it."
To go along with their
music, 110 Linden also
had a friend project a constant live video feed on the
wall behind them of their
performance and the
crowd watching them,
which added an interesting element to the night.
"We enjoy playing
where people enjoy listening; a place where people
are into the music and
just having a good time.
Avenue 209 is exactly that
type of place," said
Rinard.
A Spanish Education
major from Indiana, Pa.,
Noy impressed the crowd
with
his
interesting
instruments.
"I liked the music, but
wish you could have heard
more of Felix's beats; the
guitar kind of drowns him
out," senior Christopher
Torrance commented. An
English Writing major,
Rinard uses his life experiences as inspiration in
his song writing; "I've
lived in a lot of different
places, and I love to really
experience life; that helps
the
whole
in
creativity/writing
process," he said.
