Currently Russell Hall is the all girls dormatory as well as home to the
counseling center, the bursar office, the financial aid office, and several other
signifigant on-campus offices. Next year the building will be converted entirely to offices leaving less campus living space for Lock Haven students.
Evergreen Commons. Triples
and
infamous
six-person
lounges can hinder a student's
academic success.
What a university is to do?
University officials are wondering the same thing. In addition,
the situation will likely get
worse if Lock Haven University
continues to accept larger classes each year without making
more room.
"We want students to live in
an environment that they will be
successful in." Vice President
for Student Affairs, Dr. Linda
Koch said. "The last thing we
want to do is tell students that
they can't come here because we
don't have enough room."
The problem is. because ofa
lack of space in the dorms, the
university already had to break
its mandatory rule stating that
freshman must live on campus.
When the University closes
Russell Hall after next summer,
chances are, the shortage of
housing will be even greater.
Lock Haven University has
planned on turning Russell Hall
into an administration building
for about six years. It is part of
the university's plan to make life
a little easier for students,
according to Dr. Koch.
She said, "The initial planning for Russell was supposed

The building, which is located right in thc middle of campus, will become the "main
campus building," according to
David Proctor, Lock Haven
University director offacilities.
There are several reasons the
renovations have to be next
year. Proctor said. One being
the Pennsylvania Board of
Governors, who recently made
it mandatory every room in each
residence hall in Pennsylvania,
must contain fire prevention
devices, which Russell lacks.
In addition. Russell is in the
worst shape of all the dorms.
Proctor said. For it to remain a
residence hall for another several years it would cost $300,000
to $400,000 just to keep it up to
code.
Thc state mandated updates
don't go into effect until the start
of2006, which means, in theory,
the university could house students in Russell during thc fall
semester of next year, but
according to Dr. Koch, this
would likely cause even more
problems because they would
have to find new places to live
halfway through the school year.
"A lot of students don't
understand why were shutting
down Russell," he said.
"Basically, we're trying to make
more space on campus available
for faculty and classes."

if after a few years we are going
to make it into an office build-

The housing problems ofthe
past are likely to resurface.
Lock Haven University did
away with triples and six-person
lounges as rooms this year
because "Students don't perform
as well when they're not in a
good environment," according
to Vice President of University
Advancement Jerry Updegraff.
Aside from
Evergreen
Commons, which some parents
and students believe to be overpriced, thc universities answer
to next year's housing problems
may be to reinstate those triples
and six-person lounges, according to Dr. Koch.
"If we run out of space
again, we're going to have to do
something else," she said.
The State System of Higher
Education no longer gives universities funding to build residence halls, the only way for
another residence building to be
built is through a third party,
much like Evergreen Commons.
The process is a long one,
and though it could begin as
early as this year, according to
Dr. Koch, only time will tell will
happen when next year rolls
around.

Parking at Lock Haven
University always has and
probably always will be a
headache, especially for commuters who live off campus in
an apartment or a house. This
year parking has become even
more complicated then in
recent years. Now there are
designated perimeters that offcampus students must live
within or without in order to
get a green parking decal.
If you live within a halfmile of campus on North

There are a number of new parking regulations in effect on the Lock
Haven University campus this year. These regulations are in effect to
hopefullly limit the number of students who really need to drive to school
from parking illegally. Among these includes no overnight parking in
certain lots and not being allowed a parking pass if you live within a halfmile radius from campus

Second mile assists community youth
Emily Capp
News Editor

An orientation meeting for
The Second Mile will be held on
Thursday. September 23 in
Ulmer Planetarium.
The Second Mile involves
college student volunteers from
Lock Haven University who
adopt a "friend" to bond with for
the two-hour event. From
kindergarten to fifth grade, children involved in this program
need a good role-model and the
students provide that.
This kids usually come from

a single-parent household, lowincome household, live in geographically isolated areas, or
lack adequate social skills to
maintain proper relationships.
Activities from The Second
Mile program include swimming, bowling, picnics, holiday
parties, arts and crafts, sports,
and other funfilled festivities.
The job of the volunteer is to
interact with the children and be
their friends when they are at
these events. By having fun
with their positive remodels,
they can betterachieve their personal goals. This can be to
improve their behavior at home

——

The earsplitting alarm rings
for that 8 AM class: you roll
over and smack the sleep button.
It can be hard to get up for class
at any time ofthe day for college
students that are overworked.
So Logically many students
have come to rely on a little
something in the morning. That
little friend for most people happens to be caffeine.
Jazzman's cafe bustles with
activity every morning amid caffeine addicts in search for their
daily fix. That cup ofcoffee provides people like Emily Smith, a
LHU sophomore, with the fix
she needs. "It keeps me going
and gives me energy." says
Smith. Surely one or two cups
of coffee aren't going to turn you
into caffeine fiend, but according the University of Minnesota,
people who consume over three
cups ofcoffee a dayrun a risk of

becoming dependent upon caffeine.
Ask LHU sophomore Jen
Hnatko about what reliance
upon caffeine is all about. Jen
started drinking coffee in the
tilth grade. Her parents always
had a cup of coffee brewing.
Thc humble beginning of one
cup in the morning has led her to
an addiction where she must
have 8-10 servings of caffeine
per day to fend off headaches.
"I've tried to stop 4 or 5 times. It
makes me sick if I try to stop,"
complains Hnatko.
Hnatko is not alone in her
with
caffeine.
struggle
Sophomore Amanda Sergi is
also struggling with her caffeine
dependence. "I take 2 (caffeine
pills) in the morning when 1 get
up and usually have coffee in thc
morning," says Sergi. When
asked what she does when caffeine might not be available,
Sergi responded, "I just take
Advil because I know I'll have a
headache later."

Headaches are not the only
side effect someone may experience from caffeine addiction.
Anxiety, insomnia, irregular
heartbeat, confusion, constipation, nausea, depression, and
irritability can all affect someone who is addicted and consumes over 3 cups ofcoffee per
day, or 500 mg of caffeine per
day. states HealthWorld Online.
So how can a person overcome their caffeine addiction?
Quitting your caffeine consumption cold turkey is not a very
likely way to succeed according
to HealthWorld Online; rather,
decreasing thc intake of caffeine
in each serving is probably the
best method. For example, if
you usually drink multiple cups
of coffee during the day, try to
add decaf to reduce the percentage ofcaffeine you consume per
serving. This will eventually
lead to decreased dependence on
caffeine and hopefully end your
caffeine addiction.

Sigma Kappa promotes sisterhood
Kristina Pestridge
Staff Reporter
"One heart. One way" is the
motto held very close to some
hearts on campus. Sigma Kappa
was founded on at LHU on
November 9. 1959 and has been
a growing as a sorority for many
years now.
Sigma Kappa National
sororities mission states: "Sigma
Kappa Sorority is a social organization of collegiate and alumnae women committed to promoting the ideals of life-long
friendship, intellectual and spiritual fulfillment and service for
the greater good."
The sisters of Sigma Kappa
instill the traditions of their
sorority as well as contribute to
the bettering of society.
"The bonds and traditions of

Sigma Kappa are what make our
sisterhood so special." Mariah
Gantt comments. "These bonds
and traditions are what we're
based on and what keeps us
together."
Sigma Kappa's National
Philanthropies are The Main Sea
Coast Missionary Society.
Gerontology. Alzheimer's disease, Adopted Grandparents,
and Inherit the Earth. Being
apart of Sigma Kappa you will
have the opportunity to participate in different community
service projects and philanthropy programs.
"The adopted grandparents
is a great program to attend, I
enjoy thc visits because of the
enthusiasm that they show when
were there." Michelle Kiwak
said. "We definitely make their
day!"
In addition to the philanthro-

py projects, the sisters have a lot
of fun together. They make sure
that they keep all friendships
very close and understand the
meaning of true sisterhood. If
you see one sister on campus
nine times out of ten there is
another one with them. They are
very friendly and resonate a very
positive vibe to all the faculty
and students on campus.
Some of the other perks to
being in this sorority are the sisterhood formals and participation in several social events with
other Greek organizations as
well as non- Greek organizations. One thing thc sisters arc
very proud of was winning

that will take you on the journey
to friendships through tradition.
Founded over a century ago by
eight like-minded women,
Alpha Sigma Tau is a blend of
distinctive hearts committed to
thc progress of mankind and thc
advancement of its members.
"Alpha Sigma Tau has taught
me someone is always there for
you. and sometimes you need to
be that someone that is there
also." Monika Taras said. "I feel
as though thc bond that we have

as sisters, is something that will
last a lifetime. 1 am so glad that
1 joined this sorority."
The Alpha Sigma Tau

Harlan County, Kentucky. Pine
Mountain has served in the community as a boarding school,

The Lock Haven Vitalization
Team and Clinton County

coordinated to produce a citywide art exhibition in the downtown business district in efforts
to promote local artists and
stimulate patronage of local
downtown shops and service
providers.
The Vitalization Team,
which has recently acquired new
office space at 7 West Main
Street, held its open house
Thursday evening from 5 to 7
p.m. and had a satisfying turnout
according to Program Director,
Maria Boileau.
"I'd like to sec this become a
regular event." said Boileau. further mentioning the monthly
First Friday artist exhibitions
common to Williamport's downtown area. "We want the public
to take this time to relax and

and discover the talent that we
have locally."
Jeanine
Board
Lipez.
President of the Revitalization
Team, was surprised by the
response of the local artists. "It
was really encouraging," Lipez
said. Thc team has coordinated
with 10 local retailers and
restaurants to publicly display
the works of 21 local artists.
Lock Haven University students are not to be excluded in
this event. At least two university students arc featured in the
exhibition. Aaron Held has a
personally modified bicycle on
display in the window of The
Outfitter at 17 East Main Street.
Some retailers have already
been known to support local creativity through their storefronts.

organization who works to rejuvenate distressed downtown
business districts.
At a time when the competition ofrural small business owners includes parasitic national
retail giants, Boileau reminds
loyal patrons of downtown
shops that when they shop
downtown 60 percent of their
purchase is recirculated into the
local economy. In contrast, figures supplied by the U.S. Small
Business Administration indicate that a mere 6 cents of every
dollar is returned to the local
economy when citizens shop at
national chain marts.

raise funds in support of the
South African Aid Project.
The pdfolic is invited to attend.
The cost for the dinner is $5
for an adult and $3 for a child.
Because of the death of
AIDS infected parents, more
than 11.5 million orphans in
South Africa are living in
shacks with no solid roofing.
The children also have no
means to an education. The
need for our support is overwhelming. This philanthropicproject will help build schools

and orphanages in South
Africa for thc massive number
of children left homeless as a
result ofAIDS.
The spaghetti dinner is just
one of the fundraising events
that will take place throughout
thc semester to support this
project. The IFC would like to
invite everyone from the Lock
Haven community to take part
in this semester long project.
They are looking forward to
your contributions and they

Using games to educate
AUSTIN, Texas--(COLLEG1ATE PKESSW1RE)
The Liemandt Foundation, a
nonprofit family foundation
committed to promoting techno/ogy-enablcd education, is
once again hosting a college student video game development
contest with a twist students
are challenged to build entertaining games that "secretly"
teach middle school subjects.
In the contest's first year,
over 60 students competed
nationwide. Five finalist teams
came to Austin, Texas in June to
present their games to
a panel of expert judges. A
highlight of the trip was dinner
at gaming legend Richard "Lord
British" Garriott's mansion,
complete with a
personal tour by the Ultima
creator himself.
The winning team, a group
offour students from University
ofCentral
Florida, took home $25,000.
Their game, an online robot battle game that
teaches properties ofphysics
and chemistry, is in the process
of being polished for future distribution. Other finalist teams
from Cornell,
University of Southern
California, Pomona College and
University of Wyoming took
home additional prizes as well
as experiences that some attribute to helping attain post-graduation job offers. Many competing teams
also received college credit
for participation in the contest.
The contest, which can be
found online at www.hiddenagenda.com. focuses
on the notion of"stealth education" in gaming, pushing students to create entertaining
games that subtly teach middle
school science and math
topics such as forces, statistics or the periodic table. This
year,
students will have until
December 2004 to enter the con-

Still moving ever onward after
that September we won't forget
Daniella De Luca
Opinion Editor
Three years ago this past
Saturday a tragedy struck our
nation. September 11.
It still gives me goose
bumps to hear that date, as is the
case with many people. For such
a horrific day, however, there
were no parades or public tributes in town or on campus, at
least none that were advertised
to their fullest capacity.
Additionally, the Eagle Eye didn't pay any sort oftribute to the
day in our first issue. Therefore,
we too arc at fault for forgetting.
Days after the terrorists'
planes hit their targets a popular
phrase was "We will never forget." Something makes me think
that we have. Well, maybe it's
not forgotten entirely, just
pushed away somewhere in the
back of our minds.
On that day. campus activities resumed as normal. People
slept in then, went to Bentley for
brunch in their pajamas.
Campus Craze was held on
Saturday evening, hours of fun
and games, free t-shirts, mocktails and karaoke. LHU teams
competed against each other in
varied sporting events. People
went to work or conventions, or
went home. And. although the
terror alert level was elevated

that day, life went on.
There were birthdays and
anniversaries, events to be cherished. There were plain, average
days, and there were deaths that
were mourned. Perhaps most
importantly though, there was
life.
For me, this past Saturday I
woke up at 6 a.m. to attend a
conference near Harrisburg for
collegiate journalists and their
professors. It wasn't until I got
there, and thc professor conducting our course mentioned
thc date. The entire room got
quiet, and there seemed to be a
moment
of
unannounced
silence. Then, we all just went
on with what we were doing.
It was the ultimate brush off.
Had itreally happened? And are
we really still fighting over
there trying to sort things out?
Two years ago. or even one. the
event was all anyone could talk
about.
Why Sept. 11 of all days?
Why not 10? Does anyone even
remember what they were doing
on Sept. 10? Some may mark it
in their minds as one of the last
days of seeing the words "terrorism" and "war" all over the
news for awhile. Yet, for others
it could symbolize the last waking moments they had to spend
with a loved one they may have
lost.

Understanding your
profs and their syllabi
Kathryn Vincent

Community College)

-

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Since I
haven't received any questions
this week I decided to address
some of the things that have
come up when students and
teachers have misunderstandings that lead to conflict. Many
conflicts can be avoided by
becoming familiar with the syllabus.
This document is the "official" agreement between the
student and the instructor. By
returning to class after reading
the syllabus, you enter into an
agreement with the instructor
involving the rules and guidelines set for that class. If there
are things that are not covered
on the document. ASK DON'T
ASSUME! Some important
things that you should know
from the syllabus:

once by an artist near Clinton
County, NJ, and it's primary
focus was on what the artist did
in the few hours before the
attacks.
There were panels, and the
whole piece was a gridwork of
mini, black-and-white cartoon
style drawings. They all portrayed morning ritual activities.
For example, hitting the snooze
button on the alarm clock,
brushing your teeth, showering,
and drinking coffee while reading the newspaper. There were
about 30 individual boxes, until
the last one which portrayed a
plane that had crashed into the
side ofthe building.
Just like that, an artist was
able to capture the average person's day. When you wake up in

them away from their desks
(make copies, meetings etc)
Part-time instructors on the
other hand don't have single
offices or posted hours. Ask
when thc best time to reach
them is. they have space in the
Part Time Faculty Commons
and will give you the number
for that office so you may leave
a message. Again, making an
appointment is crucial so that
the instructor knows to expect
you. IF YOU MAKE AN
APPOINTMENT, BE SURE
YOU SHOW UP ON TIME
AND PREPARED! To ask an
instructor to set aside time for
you and not show up is
extremely disrespectful.

3. Attendance policy: each
and every instructor expects
you to be in class. DUH! That's
the privilege you paid for. Most
have strict policies that allow
for one or two missed classes.
some require
illness, family crises' etc. Some
instructors take attendance,
some have sign in sheets, and
some don't appear to notice.
Don't ever think that just
because you don't see them
record attendance, they don't
know whether a particular student is attending, like mothers,
they just know stufflike that! If
are
absent
you
TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY for getting
notes, assignments, handouts,
etc. DO NOT EVER ASK A
TEACHER "Did we do anything last class?" OF COURSE
THEY DID!!

4. Grading: The instructor
should have a paragraph on the

syllabus where they state the
objectives for the class. READ
THIS. This will give you a
starting point for understanding
what the teacher "is looking
for" when grading. There
should also be a scale for how
grades will be determined.
More often than not, this will be
a straight scale ex: 90-100=A
etc.

For individual assignment
grading the instructor will usually go overthis in class, stating
the objectives for that paper or
project. When asking for clarification on assignments, again,
take responsibility. Phrase
questions using "I" statements.
Ex: What can I do to be sure to
make sure that I meet the objectives?" Or "Where might 1 find
examples of papers/projects
that model what we are doing?"
Any discussion with thc
instructor about grading should
be done privately and when
both student and instructor have
enough time.
Using these tips as a starting
point may help you set a good
tone with your instructor from
the beginning. Other things you
can do to help yourself succeed
are to use the college resources
like the Writing Center and the
Learning Support Center. When
asking questions, remember
that HOW you say something is
just as important as what you
say. Your instructors are there
because they want to be, they
want you to succeed as much as
you want to, and show respect
to them and you will get it in
return.

Invasion of the skater kids
Dear Editor,
There is a problem on campus that I feel needs to be
addressed. Why do middle and
high school aged children insist
loitering on campus?
They hang out along sidewalks if not on them, riding their
skateboards and bikes and getting in everyone's way. That
kind of thing isn't even allowed
on sidewalks. Another issue is
that they are disruptive and
immature with their speech.
The other day, there was a
group ofkids jumping down the
steps on their skateboards,
laughing and swearing at one
another and even smoking cigarettes. I really don't need to see
that walking to and from class.
Another time. I was walking
around a bunch ofkids on bikes,
minding my own business, and
they decided to ask me a lot of
pointless questions as I passed.
I simply asked them if they had

anything better to do and then
ignored them as I walked to my
car. I also remember a time
back when I was living in the
dorm. Todd Tabb. my roommate and I were headed to
Bentley and on the way down
the hill, we passed some kids
laughing and carrying on, and
smoking. They were no more
than twelve years old. I even
recall him saying that it was
totally unnecessary.
So I think there is no reason
to be on campus if there is no
reason to be on campus. When
you have nothing to do that's
when troubfe starts.
If security could kindly ask
these children to leave, that
would be great. There are playgrounds, and campus isn't one of
them.

Lost keys open minds
and hearts in community
Lisa Schropp
Features Editor
With all the lying, backstabbing and shadiness that goes on,
it was refreshing for me to
encounter a genuinely nice person last week.
I found myself in quite a
predicament when I lost my car
and apartment keys. There was
no one I could call for help
because all my friends were in
class at the time. Naturally, I
and
panicked
frantically
searched around the ground. As
1 was wandering around like a
lost puppy dog, a woman asked
me what was wrong and immediately tried to help me. She
ended up driving me to my landlord so that I could at least get a
key for my apartment. I don't
even know her name, but I
greatly appreciated her help.
This experience got me
thinking about the e-mail Dr.
Koch sent to students living off
campus. When I received the email, I read it and then just
deleted it (which I'm sure most
students did). In the e-mail, Dr.

Koch encouraged students to get
to know their neighbors and
come together as a community
and I think more people should
strive to do that.
Would you take the time to
help someone who you didn't
even know? We often get too
preoccupied with our busy
schedules and don't bother to
take the time to get to know the
people around us. Introduce
yourself to your neighbors or
when passing people on the
street, smile and say "hello."
Don't get so caught up in
your own life that you are oblivious to those around you. The
saying, "treat others how you
want to be treated," is so corny
and cliche, but it's worth thinking about.
Next time you see someone
who needs help, think about
how you would feel in their situation. I am very thankful that a
stranger cared enough to help
me. Without her, I might still be
out there, looking for my keys.
But. it turns out they were in my
car the whole time.
Don't ask.

Make a statement with respect
Johnson
Lindsay
~
;
,
Co-editor in Chief
Respect. Just a little bit.
Aretha Franklin sang about it in
the 1960's.
But where is respect today?
We live in a society where "sir"
and "ma'am" are signs of age,
where the words "excuse me" or
"please and thank you" are few
and far between, where people
in general are not considerate of
each other's space, material
belongings, and feelings. In
2004, respect is hard to come
by, a truly rare commodity,
I could go on and on about
any of the examples I listed
above. But I have a more
focused agenda in this column. I
want to talk specifically about
respect for the media.
I'd like to take a minute
before I get too far into my column to explain that I'm defmite|y talking about respect, not
appreciation. There's no question in my mind that our generation appreciates the media and

Send a

what it has to offer. We love to
be entertained and informed just
as much as the next guy. But to
take that appreciation a step further and show respect for the
media seems to be a step that
too many people in our generation aren't willing to take.
Please bear with me as I
vent a little.
First of all, people who
leave the movie theatre when
the credits startrolling are disrespectful to all the people who
put a lot of time and effort into
making that movie. Even if you
didn't enjoy the movie, at least
pause for a moment before you
leap from your seat as soon as
the screen fades to black.
I hate to watch TRL because
they cut off each video they
play. Not just the ending, either
they cut off the beginnings,
too. Now, please correct me if
I'm wrong, but the whole purpose of the show is to count
down the top ten videos. How
can you decide if you like thc
video by only seeing the middle? And why did the artist and
their crew go to all that work if

-

you're only going to watch the

middle?
I've noticed, on any day of
the week, that there are newspapers (USA Today, New York
Times. The Express, and Eagle
Eye) strewn all over campus,
tossed wherever the reader felt
the whim to once they were
done with it. First, I'd like to
point out that this campus has
an excellent recycling program,
so there's no reason for recyclable newspapers to not be placed
in those bins when people are
done with them. Also, a lot of
time and effort gets put into
making each of those papers,
and I'm sure their respective
staffs (especially this one)
would hate to see their hard
work littering this campus.
Another sign of disrespect to
the media is forwarding through
tracks on a CD without listening
to the whole song. If you're
skipping to get to a certain song,
that's understandable. But when
you let a song play for a minute
or two, then cut it off to skip to
the next one, then do the same
thing again, you're just being

b9M«p *o

Yes, J know that some ofthe
artists and people who create
these forms of media will never
know that you didn't stay
through the credits, or that you
skipped through half the tracks
on their CD, or that you tossed
their newspaper on the ground
after you read the funnies. It's
not about whether or not they
know, though. It's about being
respectful of the rest of this
society. If we all try to be more
respectful of one another, the
world will soon become a much
better place.
Many of us try to "make a
statement" with thc clothes we
wear, the other ways we decorate our bodies (such as tattoos
and piercings), or the groups
and social circles we associate
ourselves with. These artists
choose to make their own statements by creating these movies,
songs, newspapers, and music
videos.
Wanna know another way
you can make a statement?
Show them, and their creations,
a little respect.

KHmI

Three days a week on the
intramural field
beyond
Thomas Field House, one will
likely find a two teams competing for a disk in a game
similar to a combination of
soccer and touch-football.
Here plays the official Lock
Haven University Frisbee
Club.
Only a year old, the
Frisbee Club competes primarily against themselves in
recreational
of
games
Ultimate Frisbee, dividing
evenly into smaller teams
with a guy-to-girl ratio of 5 to
2 preferred. Although the
typical campus events are
scheduled to last two to three
hours, most end early due to
the exhaustion of the organization's energetic members.
"Frisbee players are
unlike any people I've met

before,"
says Dominick
DiSalvo, founder and current
treasurer of the club, fondly
commenting about the casual
atmosphere of the sport.
"During a 14-team tournament in Goucher, Maryland, I
can remember about 10 guys
wearing kilts."
Currently over 90 percent
of the club's SCC budget is
reserved for tournament
costs including registration
fees
and transportation
money. The rest is allocated
for, of course, frisbees.
According to DiSalvo,
when the club was first
founded last fall there were
as many as thirty-five regular
members, but when winter
came that number diminished. The club has rebounded and now proudly boasts a
core membership of thirtyone regular members
Near-future goals of the
club include electing an official name for a team to corn-

pete at tournaments. DiSalvo
says the club looks forward to
this academic year and
hopes to participate in at
least three tournaments
against regionally local teams
such as Monkey Knife Fight
and the Jive Turkeys.
Paramount in Ultimate
Frisbee is good sportsmanship. "Players undertake to
be competitive but fair and
truthful, physical but careful,
intense but friendly and courteous," according to the rules
of ultimate Frisbee posted on
the Australian Flying Disc
Association's website.
New members to the
Frisbee Club are always welcome to participate and will
find
meetings
every
Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 3 to 5 p.m. and Sundays
from 1 to 4 p.m on the intramural field just beyond
Thomas Field house on campus.
