LHU celebrates Martin Luther King Jr, with Speaker
Amy Howard
Though classes were not cancelled on the actual date, the celebration of the
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were
in no way overlooked. Lock
Haven University honored his
memory by welcoming Juan
Williams, a prominent reporter
for the Washington Post.
The program began with a spiritual introduction and prayer by
Dr. Roosevelt Green that spoke
of King's belief in a "personal
God who gave the strength to endeavor." The LHU Gospel Choir
sang "Lift Every Voice and
Sing" the Black National Anthem, urging everyone to join in.
Next in the program was a
touching poem written and delivered by Ms. Amy Freeman,
Director of The Human and Cultural Diversity Program at LHU.
The poem, entitled "Carry the
Dream," depicted her hopes and

dreams about how future generations will view the past and carry on the future. The poem ended by saying "we did what we
could to propel them into the
heavens and mountains yonder."
Williams' opening remark was
that he wasn't giving a speech,
but rather a talk about how race
is a problem in society. The
question was posed, what do you
do when faced with the issue of
race, when you hear racist comments? He strongly encouraged
that you "stand up and offer your
vision," telling students that they
can do more than they think they
can to combat racism.
Williams offered his views
dealing with the media, specifically the television and music industry. He stated that in movies
the popular culture always has
one guy or one girl against the
world. In other words, he said
that one person can't take on the
world without mentioning how
people need to group together to
accomplish their goals.

"Don't believe in the popular
culture. Realize that in American History there
are examples of
people that didn't
swallow
the
sleeping pill but
stood up for what
they believe in
and made a difference," was the
main point made
by Williams
His
worries
that "television
shows send messages that tell
people to stay
with their own
group of friends
and not go out and meet new
people from different backgrounds. Music puts down people of different groups and plays
up on violence."
Williams cited many examples
from history to support his belief. He said that even in death,
people can create social change-

was fair to be segregated from
the rest of the population and decided to do something about it.

principal and Jones rallied the
students as they walked out.
The principal caught on and
fought with Jones. Jones was
suspended from school and the
students who once supported her
quickly changed their minds.
Jones wasn't ready to give in.
She called the NAACP for help
and they sent lawyers who were
little help. Jones called Thurgood Marshall, President of the
NAACP for more help.
Williams ended his speech
with, "You are the people who
make history!" and a quote from
a song, "Keep your eyes on the
prize, hold on, hold on. Life isn't about being comfortable, it's
about being uncomfortable and
standing up...keep your eyes on
the prize."
In a question and answer session, Williams noted that the

He spoke about Nixon and how
he struggled for affirmative action, an issue that Williams feels
deserves lo be defended.
One of the stories he recalled
dated back to the 1940s regarding a 16-year-old from Virginia
named Barbara Johns.
Jones went to a segregated

biggest challenge for this generation is to change America. He
said that "we need a sufficient
consciousness, will and spirit."
He firmly believes that if you
work hard you can succeed in society.
According to Williams, we are
a more and more class divided
society and that will not change
until a coalition is formed.
When addressing the tragedy
of Columbine High School,
Williams said that it left an indexable impression on the parent's and showed their concern
for the future of America.
He pointed to popular culture
and the media, claiming that the
media creates stereotypes that
create indifference. He again
urged everyone to "become a
critical thinker in regard to the
media and not succumb to the
stereotypical depictions it promotes."

Thanks in part to a break in
the nasty weather, the lunar
eclipse could be observed in
Lock Haven. After several days
of snow showers and thick
clouds, the night sky was clear at
the right place at the right time.
The unusual, almost sci-fi
look of the moon, was sending
signs of old superstitions about
the end of days or dragons eating
the sky. Nevertheless, for modern man, this exciting event
could be a special message that,
even after reaching the year

Wesson said. "People here are

don't.
Like I said before, my
friend's over confidence is an attractive quality that he possesses. He's one of those guys
who's physical attractiveness is
complemented so much by his
personality. He's lucky he's
been blessed with both. And I
know I'm just adding fuel to the
fire by putting this into print, but
that's OK.
Everyone knows someone
out there who is beautiful or extremely good looking, but yet,
he or she has no personality.
And then there are the ones that
are semi-cute but have this personality that makes them more
attractive than anyone you've
ever seen before. It all comes
from being sure of and accepting

due to a lack of confidence. In a
class the other day we talked
about how if you are raised to
believe you are the best, you will
become the best. You must believe in yourself, or there will be
no chance of you succeeding.
You are the creator of you, so
why not be the best that you can
be? If you aren't the best that's
out there, pretend you are.
I'm not the greatest example
of someone who is over confident, in fact, the only time I'm
really comfortable is when I'm
in an academic setting or surrounded by my really close
friends. But, the key to my success here is pretending I know
what I'm doing. Half the time, it
comes across that I am really

who one is.
I truly believe that being confident in yourself will make your
life better. It will make life
much happier. Being able to lift
your head up and look the world
in the eye is an integral part of
succeeding. It's almost as important as getting out of bed in
the morning.
My friend, who by the way
has been begging me for weeks
to write about him, is not afraid
to do what he wants. He has even
been known to bring a girl a
squash instead of flowers--and
not be embarrassed, but he is
able to do this because he is
comfortable within himself.
Now, wouldn't that be a nice
way to live?

New Beginnings
Well, welcome back. I have
decided that since it is the beginning of a new semester and a
new year, that I would focus on
"new beginnings" as the theme
for this column.
All the hype of the "new millennium" is finally over. There
were no blackouts at midnight on
January 1st and there were no
explosions. All those people hiding in their shelters with the non
perishable food items and exorbitant amounts of water have
emerged and are proceeding with
their lives. So am I.
This semester so far has started out well. I have a new housemate and all I can say about him
is- well, nothing that I could really put in print without getting
in trouble.
On a serious note, he was not
our first choice of a housemate,
but since he has moved in with
us, it has been nothing but
laughs-- and drinking.
It is amazing that there are
people out there that you have
never met before, but as soon as
you do, you make a connection
with them and you feel like you
have known them forever.
I swear that I have known
Chris all throughout my college
career. He fits in so well in our
house. Not only because he actually comes out of his room and
interacts with us, unlike the two
hermit housemates that we lost,
but also because he is just as
crazy as the rest of us.
Don't get me wrong, I do not
know all the things that I need to
about him, nor do I necessarily
agree with everything that comes
out of his mouth. Actually there
are many times that he will say
something and I will absolutely
cringe, but through time, I will
learn more about him, as he will
us, and we will grow to appreci-

one another more, as is true
with all new beginnings.
Of course, now I am going to
switch topics in thc middle of my
column, as is my custom and go
completely off base. Well, not
completely.
Over Christmas break I revisited my old high school, a place
that I swore up, down and sideways I would never set foot inside again and saw an old teachate

er.

I could say that she was my
inspiration as to why I decided to
major in English, but that would
be an immense lie. Actually she
was the one teacher that I absolutely hated in school.
We chatted for hours and I
came to the conclusion that although she is WACKO, 1 love
her. There were so many things
that we discussed from college,
careers to my love life.

When I walked out of her

room I had such a clear perspective on things. I realized that if I
would have maybe just paid a little more attention to her three
years ago and didn't call her a
b*tch during a 7th grade English
class, I would have realized this
a lot sooner.

Anyway, that wasn't completely off the topic, I guess you
can say that I had a new beginning with her.
I have realized since being in
college that we all have to make
new beginnings in our lives at
very different times and for very
different reasons.
I think that is the basis of
what college is all about. If you
think about it when you chose to
go to college you were making a
new beginning, and from that
point on, you continue to make
new beginnings.
From that first roommate that
you bonded with, or that neigh-

bor that you first met while she
was stumbling down the hallway
"brushing her teeth," or the kid
that sat behind you in your first
class, you have been starting new

beginnings all throughout college.
It may be time to say goodbye to people who have graduated in December, or to prepare to
lose someone this May.
We may be realizing that we
have wasted a few semesters
here and are changing majors or
even schools. We begin anew
with the opposite sex, or even
members of the same sex, but
through it all we survive and become stronger.
I know I am getting deep and
emotional and that is not the way
I want to start out everyones
weekend.
Alright, alright, enjoy thc
snow, go outside and play for a
few hours this weekend and
don't forget to actually open
your books for a few hours too.
Osmosis won't work, believe
me, I found that out the hard
way. And if you get the chance, I
highly recommend meeting
someone new or re-meeting
someone you already know. It
can make a huge difference.
Have a good one LHU!
PS. Another quick note on
new beginnings, Flyers veteran
Rod Brind'amour will be making
his new beginnings with the Carolina Hurricanes and Keith
Primeau will be making his with
the Flyers. Those of you who
know me know how I feel about
this.

Poet ignites passions Jim the Juggler jumps,
Kristin White
Eagle Eye Features Editor
Despite having the appearance of a small, meek woman,
poet Glenis Redmond has an immensely powerful stage presence. Her passionate voice and
rhythmically, soulful expressions filled the PUB Multipurpose Room last Wednesday night
the way a spiritual sermon from
a gospel choir fills the boughs of
the church steeple.
The performance inspired
strength and self worth while
an
providing
entertaining
evening of poetry.
The 36-year-old performance
poet was raised in North Carolina and shared with her large,
Christian family a love for music. Despite this love, she didn't
boast the talent or ability to devote herself to singing or instrumental performance.
In her poetry she recalls Sundays spent admiring her aunts in
the church choir and their ability
to arouse her emotions with what
she refers to as "the beat that
frees my soul."
Infused with music and culture from her childhood and
nourished with the growth of
personal experience, Redmond

discovered her own unique style
of freeing her soul and in 1993
she quit her job as a counselor to
become a professional poet.
Redmond's strength in performance poetry extends not only to her inspirational compositions, but to her rhythmically animated presentations as well. Energetically revealing the story of
her life, Redmond alludes to a
range of autobiographical topics,
from hats and basketball to her
family, friends and femininity.
Having involuntarily memorized most ofher poems, she delivers them effortlessly with musical overtones and a decisive
beat, often characterized by
grunting, stomping or snapping.
Listening to her poetry is as natural as listening to a song. Her
words are vivid yet understandable and the messages, conveyed
with attitude and charisma, are
enlightening.
Although the majority of
Redmond's works communicate
elements of African American
culture, she claims that it is unintentional. The purely autobiographical nature of her poetry
lends itself to her culture, yet her
poems have deeper meanings
that go beyond the influence of
ethnicity and investigate the
strength and determination of the

"I'm dealing with what's going on in my life," said Redmond. "Hopefully what I do
transcends me being a black female, but it's who I am."
The content of her poems
may evoke varied interpretations
and responses among different
races; however, Redmond feels
that her poetry is "just as appreciated by Whites as it is by
Blacks." Redmond feels that
Blacks probably regard her work
as an "affirmation" while to
Whites she feels it may be educational.
Regardless ofaudience composition, Redmond's poetry and
her means of expressing it are
entertaining and encouraging.
She is often incorporated into the
movement referred to as spokenword or performance poetry, a
type of poetry that is thought to
have an increased effect when
heard rather than read.
Redmond admits that her poems need to be heard in order for
the audience to understand her
rhythm and words, but she does
not discourage the reading of it.
While reading poetry does take
the energy out ofthe delivery, it
allows the reader to interpret a
work without external influence.

Useless skills and lots oflaughter sum up Sunday night's performance of the Jim Show
held in Price Auditorium.
A one man show,
Jim can act and juggle
simultaneously without
breaking a sweat. His
red socks, crazy, curly
hair, and fantastic use
of sarcasm only added
to the extremely witty
performance.
The show opened
with Jim introducing
himself to the audience
and doing some basic
routines.
juggling
Soon after, however,
Jim was juggling ping
pong balls with his
mouth and balancing a
pole on his chin all
while still juggling.
For the grand finale
Jim balanced on a
board placed upon on a
cylinder, and atop a
platform and juggled.
But juggling isn't
the only thing this Uniof
Masversity
sachusetts' graduate
can do. Jim travels
coast to coast performing his act at schools,
corporate events, trade
shows, art festivals,
and even birthday parties.
Jim's show has also allowed him to travel to
Singapore and even make a few television appearances.

According to Jim, what started out as a hobby
in 1988 is now his fascinating career, however,
there are some drawbacks to his stardom.
"I don't get to see my ;st friends from college
a lot," said Jim. He
usually keeps in contact with those close
friends through emails and postcards.
On the family level,
Jim said his mother
gets so excited when
she sees him on television or doing one of
his shows. On the other hand, Jim's dad
wasn't always too
supportive of his ca-

reer.

"He didn't think I
could make a career
out of juggling," said
Jim. Despite his dad's
opinion, Jim's work
has nearly tripled
since 1992 and his
show has grown in
size.
"1 can't believe
people pay me to do
this," he said.
One probable reason for the show's
success is Jim's zany
personality. It is almost impossible not
to laugh when he is
dropping pins, falling
over, doing the moon
walk, and repeatedly
"Oh God, I suck,"
when making a mistake.
Jim knows his
success is not all luck
though. "I didn't win my job in a raffle," he said,
"I worked hard and followed my bliss."

DOES NOT PLAY WELL

WITH OTHERS
Brenda Smith arranged a meeting
with her 12-year-old daughter's teacher, Jamina Clay, to express parental
concern that the teacher saw fit to give
the girl a bad report card. During the
course ofa rather spirited discussion at
the child's New York school, mom
hauled off and slugged the teacher. She

Because he made controversial

News from around the world
that you won't normally read

A gang ofrobbers, who wanted to
take down a post office in Casilina,
Italy, mailed in one oftheir cohorts to
get the drop on the guards. (Italian post
offices are used as banks.) Since the
carton they wrapped him in wouldn't fit
in the post office's mailslot, accommodating workers allowed the robbers to
carry it in through a service door. Once
inside the restricted area, the packaged
bandit burst out. Guns were drawn, orders shouted, and $75,000 removed
from the premises.
A STARK
Actress Julia Stiles was thrilled
when Madonna took a shine to her until things started getting kinky. Madonna's production company wanted Stiles
to play a call girl in the movie "Going
Down," based on the Jennifer Bell novel about an NYU student who works as
a hooker to cover her tuition. But Stiles,
who starred in "10 Things I Hate About
You," balked at taking offher clothes
for some ofthe sex scenes in the film.
"I ended up deciding not to do it," Stiles
told us at Monday night's premiere party at Chaos for her new film, "Down to
You." "There were a lot of raunchy

scenes that they weren't willing to take
out." Just as well. Two "Down" movies
could be a downer.
BITS AND PIECES
Brad Pitt may go on a killing spree.
The hunky "Fight Club" star has expressed some interest in starring as Jack
the Ripper in a movie called "From
Hell."
"It's something he has talked about,
but it's nowhere near a deal," Pitt's rep
confirmed to us. The movie about the
infamous Victorian-era prostitute-killer
will be directed by Albert and Allen
Hughes, who helmed "Dead Presidents."
The first draft ofthe screenplay was
written by Terry Hayes, famous for his
work on the "Mad Max" movies. Production is set to start this spring in the
Czech Republic.
Matt Damon shouldn't worry yet
about girlfriend Winona Ryder's reuniting with her past obsession, Johnny
Depp. Britain's Express claims Ryder
and Depp have signed on to star as
lovers in Italian director Michelangelo
Antonioni's "Just To Be Together."
Reps for the actors deny they're
even flirting with the project.

Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall reportedly are trying to work things out
Madonna-style.

Chicko picks his hits for 99

If you're reading this, then you obviously escaped the great harm that was scheduled
to befall us when the clock struck midnight
on January 1, 2000. Congratulations on
making it safely to a new decade and a new
millennium.
I'm not big on New Year's resolutions,
but I have made one that concerns all of you.
Since this is the last semester I will be writing for the Eagle Eye, I have made it my goal
to step up my game and continue to bring
you quality film criticism and commentary.
So this week I am offering a list of what
may or may not have been the ten best films
of 1999. As with any such list, not everyone
will agree with me. In fact, no one may
agree with me. If that's the case, think of
this simply as ten examples of outstanding
cinema.
10. "Summer of Sam": Despite the controversial subject matter, audiences stayed
away from Spike Lee's period piece about
the summer of 1977, when New York City
was under the spell of the Yankees and the
grip of Son ofSam killer, David Berkowitz.

has not displayed since 1988's incendiary
"Do the Right Thing," wrangling an exceptional performance from Adrien Brody.
More than anything, "Summer of Sam" is a
definitive Spike Lee film, proving once
again why he remains one ofthe most influential contemporary American filmmakers.
9. "Run Lola Run": A German film that won
the Audience Prize at the Sundance Film
Festival, "Run Lola Run" explodes onto the
screen with a sense of urgency and chaos
that few films can successfully match. Fueled by a pounding techno soundtrack and a
riveting performance by Franka Potente as
the lead, this feature transcends the language
barrier to fully capture the attention and
emotions ofits audience.
8. "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels": Another Sundance smash, this British
import wasn't quite able to match the success it had in Britain on this side ofthe pond.
It's a shame, because this comic caper (think

came as close as any movie has to matching
the dizzying style of the groundbreaking
"Trainspotting" in 1996.
7. "The Iron Giant": It was only a blip on the
box-office radar, but Brad Bird's debut animated feature packed more raw emotion into 85 minutes than most live-action features
do in two hours. The story of a boy's friendship with a 50-foot-tall alien robot pokes fun
at Cold War-era cynicism and paranoia. It also manages to avoid the treacly sentimentality that plagues animated films.

6. ".Bringing Out the Dead": America's
greatest contemporary director (my humble
opinion), Martin Scorsese, returns to harrowing urban sprawl of"Mean Streets" with
this nightmarish look at the life of a fallingapart-at-the-seams paramedic. Re-teaming
with writer Paul Schrader, the combination
that made "Raging Bull" such a knockout relied on expert performances from the likes
of Nicolas Cage, Ving Rhames, and Tom
Sizemore, as well as, tripped out cinematography, to create another sordid masterpiece.
5. "The Matrix": This is a Hollywood oxymoron a smart-effects film. Capitalizing on
the current cyber-hype, the Wachiowski
brothers wrote and directed an entertaining
and thought provoking meditation on man
and technology. Audiences followed the
white rabbit in droves, making this one of
the year's most profitable films.

-

4. "Fight Club": David Fincher combined
the grit of "Blade Runner" and the poetic
brutality of John Woo's "The Killer" to cre-

visually stunning metaphor ofhuman
frustration. It didn't hurt that Edward Norton
continued to be nothing short of sublime and
Brad Pitt turned in what is arguably his best
performance ever. It's too bad the Academy
generally frowns on such morbid matters
"Fight Club" is the kind of revolutionary
film that deserves recognition.
3. "The Talented Mr. Ripley": Based on a
novel by Patricia Highsmith, Anthony
Minghella's latest film improves on the 1960
version, "Purple Noon," by leaving the lead
character, Matt Damon, completely uncompromised. The result is an antihero who is a
pathological liar and may or may not be gay.
These traits are considered a risk by Hollywood standards.
"Ripley" follows strongly in the film noir
tradition, with its twisting plot, lack of likeable characters and, in the end, "Ripley" is
as close to being an Alfred Hitchcock film as
any Hitchcock ever made.
—2»-"Tpy Story 2": Resonating with unbelievably (Jeep-,feeling and characters, this sequel
to the 1995 smash actually improves on its
predecessor. The feature had more vivid animation and more fluid characterization than
the first "Toy Story". I don't care if it is a
cartoon; the fact remains that this film is a
dazzling masterpiece that Hollywood duplicates all too rarely. An Oscar nomination for
Best Picture would greatly restore my faith
in the Academy Awards. In fact, the only
film that was better last year was
1. "American Beauty": This portrait of
American familial dysfunction manages to
transcend satire to become something much
more poignant and striking. Theater Director Sam Mendes helms what was probably
the best cast ofthe year to create what should
become the next modern classic. The critics
loved this film, and it struck a chord in audiences too. The Academy could make up for
naming "Titanic" over "L.A. Confidential"
in 1997 by crowning "American Beauty" the
best film of 1999.

The Adventure's Just Beginning!
If you didn't get a chance to
look at the last copy of the Eagle
Eye, you may be saying to yourself, "What happened to the Outdoors page?"
Well, Matt has headed to
State College to make one of his
dreams come true, so his shoes
had to be filled by someone, and
I am that someone!
You may not recognize my
name; you may not even recognize my face if you don't hang
out in Zimmerli or the Writing
Center! So let me take this opportunity to tell you a little bit
about myself.
I am what everyone calls a
"non-traditional student". When
I was in school the first time
around, I thought the non-traditional students must be in a
whole different world than I was.
They had grown-up lives and
they often had husbands or
wives and families to go home
Now that I am one of them,
I can tell you that some of those
things are true. I have been
lucky enough to meet a handful
of other students in the same
boat as I am, some a little older,
some quite a bit older, and in
most cases we do have different
things on our minds.
Most of us have outgrown
the "crazy" phase, and are here
because we genuinely want to
dedicate a good part of our lives
to whatever degree we're going
for. I do anyway.
As for my background, I'm
from East Stroudsburg, Pa. I
graduated from Dickinson College in 1997 with an English degree. The question I've been
asked most often since I've

come back to school is "Why did
you want to come back to school
when you already have a degree?"
I could be dramatic and say
that I had a life-altering experience that made me realize what
my true calling was, but that isn't really true. The truth is, I just
changed my mind.
I don't regret for a minute
spending four years of my life
studying a subject that I had no
intention of making a career out
of. I can tell you, without a
doubt, that the things I learned in
my classes those four years gave
me invaluable skills that I use
every day when I talk to people,
and also when I think. The time
was by no means wasted.
So let me tell you what I
learned... I learned how to speak
up and to speak my mind (two

different but equally important
things in my opinion).
I learned how to form my
thoughts and communicate them
on paper and in conversation. I
also learned, and I emphasize
learned, how to be unselfish with
my thoughts.
I hope that by this point in
our lives we all have at least one
thing we care about enough to

have some really strong and passionate opinions. For me, the
hardest part of writing and
speaking my mind was that I was
so proud of having these great
ideas that I didn't want to give
them up.
I learned during those four
years that the good things are
worth sharing more than the bad,
and lots of people can benefit
from one person's good idea.
I also went to England for a
year and learned to look at everything from someone else's
point of view. But I will tell you
about that some other time.
One ofthe best things I have
done in my
life so far,
and the thing
that
really
made
me
think that I
wanted to be
a teacher, was

the job I had
the fall after I
graduated
from Dickinson.

were impressed with what I had
with how I said it, and
they asked if they could keep my
information on file. I chalked it
up to experience and settled into
a summer job in East Stroudsburg. (They actually ended up
calling me to work at the summer camp the following summer,
but at that point I had plans to
to say and

move down south.)
By this time my boyfriend
had moved to Charlotte, N.C. so
I was really trying to figure out

where I wanted to be and what I
wanted to do. One night, around
September 8, 1997 I was just
getting out of the shower and my

my senior year, a guy had a table
set up in our union building and
was handing out information
about an organization called the
SCA (Student Conservation Association). He was telling me

how he and his girlfriend applied
for the program when they were
in school and ended up going
somewhere out West for three

months to work as outdoor
guides at a National Park.
He gave me an application
booklet and I decided I might as
well send it in. I, like 97 percent
of the people I know, thought
that the best thing in the world
would.be to go to Glacier National Park and live under the big

sky in Montana. I saw the required "Bear Defense Training"

as an added bonus and was ready
to brave the wilderness as soon
as they called my name.
Only, they never called. I
sort of had a feeling I wouldn't
be their top pick, since their
main requirements were Environmental Science and heavy-

She identified herself as

for the Park Service at Lincoln

Springfield, Illinois. She got
right to the point and asked if I'd
want to come out there for three
months to be a historical tour
guide, giving tours to seniors,
Lincoln scholars, tourists, and
school groups. She said I would
need to be out there by September 19,.so I had hfss than two

Sometimes I'm still confused about what I want to be
when I "grow up", but I am
working hard and living life anc
trusting that I'll end up some
where where I'm happy.
I told you all this because i
has a whole lot to do with what
brought me back to school and
what made me want to write this
page for the newspaper. Healthy
living, to me, involves taking
care ofmyself, enjoying the lit
tie things, and appreciating what
is out there for me. It means
helping myself physically, mentally, spiritually, and helping others along the way. It also means
getting out there and taking a

few chances.

I am not the bravest person in

the world; I am not the strongest
or the fittest, but I really do value the "healthy" things that are
out there for us to grow from.
So I want to use this page to
fill you in on some of that gooc
stuff. Occasionally I'll give you
more of my words of wisdom
but I'll also give you plenty o
bona-fide information. I'll tel
you about things that have happened on campus or nearby,
things that are going to happen,
and also fill you in on some topics that I think everyone shouk
know about. Don't worry, there
will still be plenty of news from
the outdoors, but there'll be other stuff too. Hopefully by the
time we all leave here we'll feel
more informed, and more inspired to make some good decisions about all sorts of things
that just make our lives better.
Good luck with the new
semester, and stay tuned!

Striking a balance, accepting change
God grant me the serenity to
accept the things I cannot
change, courage to change the
things I can, and wisdom to
know the difference.
Members of Alcoholics
Anonymous have enthusiastically embraced this prayer—known
as the Serenity Prayer—almost
from the moment they discovered it. In fact, these 25 words
are widely taken as a succinct
statement of a path to sanity and
sobriety.
The Serenity Prayer meshes
perfectly with the spirituality of
AA's Twelve Steps. In her book
"The Kitchen Mystic: Spiritual
Lessons Hidden in Everyday
Life," author Mary HayesGrieco notes that this prayer
"contains the sum total of what
spiritual life is: a series of
lessons about when to accept life
as it is, and when to make
changes for the better."
There are several versions of
the Serenity Prayer, each with
slightly different wording. Also,
there are conflicting accounts of
the prayer's origin. It has been
variously attributed to an ancient
Sanskrit text, Aristotle, St. Au-

gustine, St. Francis ofAssisi, and
others.

Many AA members were
first exposed to the prayer in
1948, when it was quoted in the
"Grapevine", an AA periodical.
There it was credited to theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It's
been a fixture at AA meetings
and in the "Grapevine" ever
since.
Despite its brevity, the Serenity Prayer accurately expresses a
central problem of addiction and
prescribes a timeless solution. In
its message about acceptance, it
echoes insights from Bill W., cofounder of A A.
In the book "Alcoholics
Anonymous" (AA World Services, $5), Bill described the
core trait of alcoholics as selfcenteredness —something he
called "self will run riot.'
He further described the alcoholic as "an actor who wants
to run the whole show; is forever trying to arrange the lights, the
ballet, the scenery and the rest of
the players in his own way."
Bill's solution: "First of all, we
had to quit playing God."
What some alcoholics seek
to achieve is a sense of absolute

control —one that is simply not
possible for human beings. This
hankering for control has two aspects.

First is an attempt to control
the behavior of others, a strategy
that addicts cling to despite its
repeated failure.
Second is an attempt to con-

trol feelings by medicating them
with mood-altering chemicals.
This strategy, too, is doomed to
failure.
Ironically, the quest for absolute control leads to misery,
which may contribute to substance abuse problems.
On the other hand, for some
alcoholics the need to control
may be a response to the unmanageability caused by their out-ofcontrol use of drugs. Either way,
the Serenity Prayer speaks wisdom to addicts and non-addicts
alike.
On one level, the prayer is
about learning to accept external
circumstances that we cannot
change. But on a deeper level,
the prayer points to a fact about
our inner life: We cannot directly control our feelings.
However, we can influence
our feelings through two other

factors we can control—our
thinking and our actions. Doing
this moves us on to another quality described in the Serenity
Prayer: courage.
This is the quality that psychiatrist Viktor Frankl displayed
during his incarceration in Nazi
concentration camps.
Frankl concluded that everything can be taken from us except one thing: "the last of human freedoms —to choose one's
own attitude in any given set of
circumstances, to choose one's
own way", he wrote in "Man's
Search for Meaning" (Beacon

making them in our daily lives.
Ultimately courage is about this
willingness and capacity to
choose. And even in the most arduous circumstances, two choices are almost always available to
us: where to place our attention
and what action to take next.
The Serenity Prayer is a wide
door, one that's open to people of
all faiths and backgrounds. People who live this prayer discover
how to strike a dynamic balance

Frankl noted that the prisoners most likely to survive were
those who had a vivid sense of
purpose in life. Moreover, even
in the humiliation of the camps,
prisoners still had choices about
how to act.
Some betrayed their fellow
inmates and secretly allied with
German guards. Others committed acts of daily heroism, everything from sharing a last crust of
bread to caring for the sick.
If Frankl could make choices
in the desolation of a concentration camp, then we can start

between acceptance and change.
This gift is precious, and it's one
that we can enjoy for a lifetime.

ATLANTA — Running back
Marshall Faulk really had no
idea what kind of team he was
joining when the Indianapolis
Colts swung a draft-day trade to
send him to St. Louis.
Well, he thought he knew.
But, luckily for him, it turned
out he was wrong.
"I understood that I was
coming to a 4-12 team, but I didn't understand exactly what they
had," Faulk said. "I wanted to go
to the mini-camp and see my
teammates and get a feel for
these guys. After the first minicamp, I had a feeling of what we
could be."
Although he was coming off
a sensational 1998 season, Faulk
proved even better than advertised. He became a key component in the Rams' run to Super
Bowl XXXIV against the Tennessee Titans.
In his sixth season in the
league and first with the Rams,
Faulk accounted for more yards
from scrimmage than any player
in NFL history with 2,429 —
surpassing 1,000 yards in both
rushing and receiving.
The Rams have plenty of offensive weapons, but Titans
coach Jeff Fisher doesn't hesitate when asked who worries
him most.
"Marshall Faulk," he said.
"He's my biggest concern. He
was our concern during the regular season. He's the guy you
have to stop. I'm not lessening
the importance of the other players on their offense, but to have
a chance, you have to minimize
his big plays. If you don't stop
him, you are very vulnerable."
As much of a problem as
Faulk presents for the Titans, St.
Louis is equally determined to
limit the effectiveness of Tennessee running back Eddie
George, who this season earned
his third straight trip to the Pro
Bowl.
The Rams often use their

And that can make a quarterback's job much easier, which is
just fine with Steve McNair.
"When you have a great running back like Eddie George,
who is a complete back, you
don't have to put up great numbers as a quarterback," McNair
said. "You don't have to take it
all upon your shoulders."
George is a powerful and explosive runner, as he showed in
his
199-yard performance
against the Raiders on Dec. 9.
This season, he added an element of Faulk to his game with
career-highs of 47 catches for
458 yards to go along with his
1,304 yards rushing.
But there should be no confusing the two backs Sunday.
"He's obviously the closest
thing to Barry Sanders, if not
better," George said of Faulk.
"He brings so much to the game.
He's not only a run threat to take
it 80 (yards), but he can also
catch it out ofthe backfield and
be a great receiver. Myself, I'm

just a power back who tries to
make a move here or there. But I
more or less rely on my power
and speed."
The Rams owned the No. 1
run defense in the league when
they held George to 68 yards on
17 carries on Oct. 31 in a game
the host Titans won 24-21. In the
same game, Faulk rushed 16
times for 90 yards and had six receptions for 94.
George is accustomed to the
attention he attracts. "We face
eight- and nine-man fronts every
time we play," he said. "We just
deal with it. There's not much
more we can do to prepare for
them. For me, I just have to be
disciplined in how I approach the
hole and read the defense."
The Rams have more options
on offense, but that does not dilute the importance of Faulk's
contributions. St. Louis was a
two-touchdown favorite in the
NFC
game
Championship
against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Faulk was held to 49 yards

total offense in a game the Rams
won 11-6.
"You can't let him get going," Tennessee defensive end
Jevon Kearse said. "You have to
keep an eye on him at all times.
He comes out of the backfield
and makes things happen."
To some defensive players,
Faulk's appearance on the field
actually represents an opportunity to take a rest. Granted, those
players are Faulk's teammates.
"Marshall has meant a full
cup of Gatorade," Rams defensive tackle D'Marco Farr said.
"It seemed like before he got
here, our offense usually went
three-and-out and we were back
on the field. He can get first
downs running the ball or catching the ball and that keeps us on
the sideline longer and keeps us
rested."
The Rams just might need all
the rest they can get to deal with
George.

digits. Twenty-four seconds later, Ship's Janette Pieczynskie
sunk a three to take a double figure lead for good.
With only four minutes gone
by in the second, Ship jumped to
a 17-point lead. The Lady Eagles staged a late game drive
with a 7-0 run but Shippensburg
would not relinquish their momentum and won the game by a
21 point margin.
The Haven simply could not
contain the talented Raider offense which shot 48 percent from
the field and an astounding 50
percent from behind the arc in
the second half. They gave up
too many good looks at the basket. Conversely, Ship allowed
only two Lady Eagles to reach
double digits.
LHU shot well from the
floor, but only grabbed eight offensive rebounds during the entire game.
That, combined with twentyfour turn-overs, meant fewer
second chances and more possessions for the Lady Raiders.
The lone bright spot for the
Lady Eagles was the play of
Flint. Even the Staunch Raider
defense could not cool her down.
She was a fiery 9-14 from the
floor, grabbed four boards and
led all players with 23 points.
The Lady Eagles could not
gain any momentum during the
game, falling to a talented and
experienced Raider squad.
The Haven is now 6-10 on
the season and 2-2 in the PSACWest.
