Several local organizations
are making it possible for Lock

Students in the Americorp
program have designed a hurricane relief service project from
which their fellow students can
provide their own hygiene kits
for victims of the storm. They
are asking students and staff to
provide a Ziploc bag containing
items such as toothpaste, a
toothbrush, soap, bandages and
other essentials.
Collection boxes can be
found in Raub Hall, Robinson
Hall, Akeley Hall, Bentley
Dining Hall and The PUB.
Donations will be accepted
as late as Sept. 19 by dropping
off care packages in the aforementioned boxes or by stopping
by Smith 133. Donations will be

Now when students go to

At the Italian Kitchen, slips

more meal equivalences will be
coming.
"I think downstairs is a disaster, because it's very unorganized, and there's no meal equivalency," said Irssy Perez, senior
in social work, adding that she
didn't have a problem with the
old Bentley setup.
Now nothing packaged can
be sold as a meal, like the bag of
chips and a bottled drink meal
many students ate last year.
This means that the vendors
don't have to be paid and is the
reason for the higher $4 higher
cost a meal. Is it worth it?
The $4 raise as opposed to
the $3.75 for the downstairs is a
plus, but one food item can go
over the limit.

unhelpful."

Love that new food at
Bentley? New professor on
campus doing a great job?
Happy with the job that the
new football coaches are
doing? President Miller wants
to hear about it.
Dr. Keith Miller is opening
his doors for all 5,129 students
on campus to provide a more
personal atmosphere at Lock
Haven University. One
Thursday a month, 202
Sullivan Hall will host "Meet
the Prez," giving students an
opportunity to chat with the
man in charge without an
appointment.
"I think access to the
President is important," said
Miller. "It gives people a
chance to be more personal,
which is always a good thing."
This new approach continues the more personal touch
that Miller has installed at the
university since he has been
hired in August 2004. Last
year students were treated to
midnight breakfast, a large buffet style meal held late night
during finals week, as well as
the Student Appreciation
Dinner, where faculty, staff and
Miller served a holiday meal
and chatted with the university
community.
"I've had meetings with student groups and some student
government," said Miller, "but
this opens the door for everyone, which is very unique."

It's no mystery that the
world doesn't stop for Lock
Haven University during the
summer months. Most of the
university community remains
very actively engaged over the
long break between semesters
even though regular classes are
not in session. Many students
arc involved in part time work,
summer classes, and internships. Faculty and administrators arc busy with open houses
and new student orientations.
Though Summer 2005 may
have meant a few months ofrest
and relaxation for some, there
were many from LHU who did
anything but relax.
This statement couldn't be
truer for the students who serve
as cadets in thc Lock Haven
University Army ROTC Soaring
Eagle Battalion. Nearly a dozen
cadets from all academic classifications and backgrounds put
their mettle to the test at different training events located
throughout the United States. A
few faculty members from LHU
even took thc time to engage in
some ofthe training themselves,
just to get a taste ofwhat a cadet
goes through during a typical
summer.

even a cadet must complete in
the four years ofthe ROTC program. A 33-day course. Warrior
Forge is designed to test a
cadet's leadership potential
under varying extremes ofphysical, mental, and emotional
stress. Aside from assessing the
basic soldier skills an officer in
the Army must posses, Warrior
Forge determines how effective
a cadet is (and has the potential
to be) at leading soldiers in the
military. The pace of the training is feverous, with duty days
lasting longer than 16 hours in
most cases. Warrior Forge culminates with a ten-day field
exercise where cadets work
through simulated combat missions in a real-world environment. If cadets can endure the
lack of sleep, physical rigor, and
the mental and emotion strain,
they will return to their universities senior cadets of the ROTC

Well, well. well... summer is over. School is hack. Shoes protect
feet. Dinosaurs arc extinct. Water is wet. Penguins only fly when
they're flung in a catapult or trehuchet. Sorry. 1 got stuck in a string
ofobvious phrases. That happens sometimes. Warning: This column
may be offensive to people that have no soul, sense of humor, or
have the IQ equivalent ofa toasted-cheese sandwich. Strap yourself
in and glue those eyes open... 1 hope you didn't forget how to read
overthc summer because once again it's time for some comical considerations.
If frog urine causes warts, and there's always a wart on a
witch's nose, then witches are gross.
The band "The Who" originally came from where? That's
right, Whoville.
If beauty is in the eye ofthe beholder, can you rip out the eye
of a beautiful person, hold it, and be beautiful?
Stop-animation is a long arduous process that requires a
colossal amount of patience... kind of like teaching George W.
Bush how to speak English correctly.
That's thc first one down. Now I just have to crank out
another 10 ofthose or so. I bet you're salivating just thinking about
it. In preparation for the upcoming column I expect you all to read
Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History OfTime," so come back in two
weeks for another critically-acclaimed comical considerations.

A week later, we're all still
homeless...
but with all the news coverage today of people returning to
their homes in Jefferson Parish
(to take photos and bury the rotting meat- in their backyard),
and the small band of folks celebrating the Decadence Festival
in the French Quarter. I feel like
maybe some people out there
are confused and wondering
why the rest of us haven't
returned to our homes.
Wc can't.
And even for those of us
who may actually have houses
standing intact, it is a strange
kind of limbo knowing that on
one hand we have nothing, and
on the other, perhaps we may
eventually return to discover
everything untouched: the
unfinished Joan Didion memoir
next to thc tub, the clothes
tossed next to it on the floor.
But it may be many many
months before we get back, and
many people will never have
that chance at all. So do wc
wait, or move forward, or struggle to find some awkward position in between?
Perhaps the answer is for all
of us to get press credentials.

ingly for her, since nothing else
was going on beneath it.
Once we got inside, they
squeezed us into a too small
room with too few seats, where
we were assigned numbers and
told to wait. I estimated three
hours at the pace they were
going, but someone pulled me
out ofthe back ofthe room saying I looked tired.
This didn't seem fair, but I
wasn't complaining. I then was
put through the intact process,
which was screwed up because
I don't have an address and my
ID address is different from
where I was actually living.
When they were done they had
a report on the loss ofmy home
and possessions, but they didn't
have the actual location, which
1 scribbled across the form for
them. ,
They gave me a voucher for
clothes from Goodwill and a
voucher for $360 that could
only be cashed at a Walmart 11
miles away. When I asked if
there would be more assistance
later, I was told:
"We don't know. Watch TV
and if there's an announcement,
come back."
What if I don't have a TV?
"That's why were trying to
get people hotel rooms."
Then they sent me to apply
for food stamps, which was
another application that was
fouled up because in order to
get the card you need to have an
address. (The same is true for
the potential direct deposit of
funds into victim's accountsmost of us left our banking info
at home. Duh.)
I also looked into taking
classes at Florida State while
I'm here. The university is very
accomodating about it, but the
Department of Education hasn't
approved financial aid for disif they
had been awarded aid at their
own school.
So we can register for courses, but we may have to pay for
them with our Red Cross
money, which will cover about
one credit at most schools. Not
even that at some.

The Lousiana SPCA needs
your support
I've been getting a ton of
0**W*f (*ff**\
email from concerned folks
regarding the animal rescue
efforts in New Orleans, and
increasingly it seems that no
one is recognizing the efforts of
the local SPCA.
While it is wonderful that so
much help has come in from
other animal organizations
around thc country, I'm a little
irked that they seem to be getting all the press. It is as if the
LA-SPCA has been forgotten.
The LA-SPCA is located
near the Industrial Canal (and
not far from my own home).
They evacuated all of the animals in their shelter on the
Friday before the storm hit.
They do this any time there
is even a hint of a hurricane.
After the storm, they were without offices, electricity or
phones, not to mention without
many of their staff and volunteers who had also been evacuated.
They set up a temporary
shelter in Gonzalez, which had
3,000 animals the last I heard,
and a staffof something like six
people. Their limited staff has
been taking instructions from
distraught owners and breaking
into homes to rescue their animals-yet they have been criticized for not taking in all thc
strays along the way.
Obviously, they need assistance, and many other groups
have come in to help. But these
groups, including the Humane
Society, have the benefit of not
being under water. And now I
see that these outside groups are
also issuing press releases and
soliciting contributions.
Why is the LA-SPCA
ignored in these press stories?
Because they are too busy trying to survive.
They don't have time to talk
to the press. But they do need
supplies, contributions, and all
kinds of help to get these animals into safe places and, if
possible, reunited with their
owners.
They will also have a lot of
work to do to rebuild their
organization after the waters
recede.
Please visit the LA-SPCA
Website and see what you can
do.

by phone.
There was a long list of
questions, which made it clear
that the FEMA relief system is
set up only to help people of a
certain class level. If I don't
qualify, imagine how it must be
for most of thc poverty stricken
residents of New Orleans.
Do 1 own my house? No. Is
it a place of business? No. Do I
know the extent of the damage?
No, I'm not allowed to check.
Did 1 become unemployed
because of the disaster? Not
Then they told me that I
could possibly get reimbursed
for rent of a new place. And I
can check into taking out a
loan. 1 began screaming questions into the phone.
"Hold on," the rep said, "I'm
not done with my script." The
rest of the script suggested that
I call the Red Cross and apply
to the IRS for a partial refund of
taxes. Again, if you don't make
money, you don't pay that much
in taxes, so basically, we're all
screwed.
Is this the extent of what
they have to offer? I asked.
The official answer: "We
don't know."

Some advice for people celebrating the diaspora
I keep hearing people talk in
almost celebratory tones of the
"New Orleans diaspora."
Please make note of this bit
of etiquette: Homeless, jobless
people are not comforted by
your predictions that their tragic circumstances will one day
be considered historically significant and studied in text
books by graduate students who
will ponder the implications of
their plight.

The Red Cross report...and
other paradoxical discoveries
Thursday I went to the Red
Cross in Tallahassee, where I'm
currently staying. I hadn't imagined there would be thousands
of evacuees here too, so I was
startled to discover a long line
already stagnated in the morning sun.
Actually, when I called the
Red Cross that morning, they
gave me specific instructions on
where to go, and when I arrived
I found that they center had
moved. 1 was ready to leave but
a volunteer took me by the arm
and told me she would take me
there.
When I saw the long line, 1
started turning to bolt, but the
woman stopped me again and
said. "You have to go into that
line, it is the only way you'll get
help. FF.MA isn't going to help
you."
So we stood in line and
watched as a wealthy blonde
woman fanned herself beneath
a tent the staffhad set up, seem-

OPINION
Finding courage
"I hereby command you: Be
strong and courageous; do not
be frightened or dismayed, for
the Lord your God is with you
wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
Fear comes at us in all sorts
of different ways. Going to college for the first time is just one
ofmany.
Before move-in day. 1 was
ecstatic about college life, and I
couldn't wait until the big day.
All 1 could think about was making some new friends, meeting
some great professors, and joining clubs.
1 even began doing a countdown in the middle of July to
mark the number of days left
until move-in day.
But as the day came closer,
in the back of my mind I could
hear a little voice talking to me,
and the little voice got louder
and clearer as the day got nearer.
This voice was actually negative thoughts that were popping
up in my mind one after another.
Things like "you'll never
Succeed in college," "you'll
never make any friends," "you'll
fail your classes." "you'll never
be who you want to be."
It was frightening after a
while. I did not realize then that
the devil was trying to grab hold
of me and lead me off God's
path. He was using fear to make
me unstable.
Soon it had come down to
the night before move-in day.
and I was an emotional mess.
The negative thoughts were
swirling around in my head so
much I felt like I was losing control, and 1 broke down and cried
before I went to bed that night.
1 no longer wanted to go to
,
one would get after a hug with a
family member or best friend.
Except this time, God was
the one that was hugging me. I
knew he was. The calming feeling 1 got was His way oftelling
me that things were going to be
"I trust you God," I remember telling Him that night. "I
know as long as you are with
me, things will be alright."
When I got up the next
morning. I felt refreshed despite
the fact it was four in the morning. 1 wasn't afraid anymore. 1
felt more confident in myself
than 1 had felt in weeks. Most
importantly. I felt ready to face
college head on.
I remember the last words 1
said in my house before I left. I
was still in the house overlooking my fairly empty room. I
then turned to the door, put my
hand on the light switch and said
aloud "let's do it God." I then
turned orT the light and left thc
darkness behind me.
How? How did I suddenly
go from being drastically afraid
of college to a calmer and determined attitude in just a matter of
hours? Simply put, 1 trusted in
God to help me overcome my
fears, and He did.
Now ofcourse when my parents left me in my dorm alone
after unpacking all my things, I
did feel thc fear start to creep
back on me, but this time 1 wasn't going to let it get to me. This
time I knew God was with me
and would help me face my
fears head on no matter happened. I believe it was because
I trusted in Him that I made it

When confronted, the King
threatened he would "throw
them into a furnace of burning
fire" if they did not worship the
statue.
But the three said to the king
"we have no need to present a
defense in you in this matter. If
our God whom we serve is able
to deliver us from the furnace of
blazing fire and out of your
hand, O king let him deliver us.
But if not, be it known to you, O
king, that we will not serve your
gods and we will not worship
the golden statue that you have
set up." Daniel 3:16
The three men were not fearful of what was going to happen
to them because they trusted in
God to take care of them. And
He did.
When the king saw that the
three men were unharmed by the
fire, he turned to his counselors
and asked why this was happening.
They replied "1 sec four men
unbound, walking in the middle
ofthe fire, and they are not hurt;
and the fourth has an appearance
of a god."
Amazing things can happen
when wc believe and trust in the
Lord our God. We must always
trust in God that he will help
ease our fears and give us the
courage we need to make it
through our lives here on Earth,
until that very faithful day when
we are united with the Lord in
his Heavenly kingdom.
It isn't always easy to trust
that God will help us through the
things that trouble us. We all
know the devil's temptations to
slip from our walk with God are
strong, but God's will for us is
much stronger than those temptations.
We must never lose faith in
God no matter how scary the
world can be for us out there,
and wc must always trust in thc
Lord whenever wc feci afraid of
the things happening around us.
because God will provide for us.
He loves us so much that he
sent his only Son to die on the
cross for us, and I don't know
about you, but that must mean
that He cares for us no matter
what, being such a huge sacrifice and all.
So the next time you are
afraid of something happening
around you, maybe a big exam,
or a relationship, or what have
you, talk to God about it.
Pour out your heart and soul
to God and tell Him why you are
feeling afraid. Ask him to help
Him ease your fears and grant
you courage, and trust in Him
that he will help you. And He
always will.

Curiosity didn't kill
the cat, apathy did
Mike Porcenalu
Opinion Editor
As I was in the shower trying to think of what to write
about this week
it hit me.
Gallons upon gallons of steaming hot water were hitting my
shoulders and streaming down
my back. It is something as
simple as that that I take for
granted. Another would be a
tall, cold glass of filtered water
to drink.
These are a few things that
thousands of people don't have
access to, and haven't had for
weeks now.
Simply by fate and location,
I am a lucky citizen who wasn't
directly affected by Hurricane
Katrina. I am still able to walk,
not wade, to work and class.
It is very humbling thc
more I think about it. In fact, I
was going to write a column
verbally attacking our government for not being more
responsible for it's own citizens.
I was going to rant and rave
about lots ofthings. Things like
the fact that a few days after
Katrina hit, when our government finally realized that something had happened
their
first reaction was not to start
looking for survivors, but
rather to start looking for people to blame.
News agencies began to run
primetime specials asking the
question, "Could this have been
prevented?"
I just wanted to scream at
the TV.
No. this could not have
been avoided. It was a massive
swirling force that came barreling into the southern section of
our majestic country, effectively wiping out entire square
miles of civilization.
I am simply astounded, to
the point where I cannot fully
formulate my feelings about it,
that there was not a better plan
designed for a response.
It's not like it was an unex-

.
pected terrorist attack. For that
matter, it wasn't even an
expected but ignored terrorist
attack.
It was an act of God, a category five act of God in fact,
which could be seen by our
weather satellites over a week
before it hit land.
Wc knew it was coming.
Weather-persons all over the
country were looking worried
and repeatedly telling everyone
(and showing them) that there
was a huge swirling hurricane
strengthening in thc Gulf.
And yet our leader stayed
on his ranch, biking around and
basking in the sun. The head of
thc
Federal
Emergency
Management Agency, a man
given a high profile position to
organize thousands of people
with billions of dollars behind
them, apparently didn't feel like
doing his job.
Or maybe they had it built
up in their minds that we are
America, we are invincible.
Well, we are not. It is painfully
obvious as thc days wear on
that we are simply human and
susceptible to forces beyond
our control. And it is the federal government that is beyond
our control.
The best thing to do now is
to look forward, and concentrate on doing what we can
from where we are.
The most frustrating thing
to me is how the unaffected in
thc Lock Haven area remain
unaffected.
This past Friday during the
downtown art walk, my girlfriend Carla and I set up a small
table with simple beaded
bracelets and necklaces for
sale. A big red sign made it
clear that all proceeds from
these "hope bracelets" would
be donated to the Red Cross.
Despite thc fact that we
were set up in two different
locations in the downtown for a
total of four hours, we barely
made $30 to give.
We had a ton of well-ofl
and well adorned people slow
their pace and glance over our
sign and the simple strands
lying on our table.
These highfalutin' morons
had the audacity to sometimes
even browse over the selection
for a matter of minutes, picking
at them and rolling the beads
and
through their fingers
then walk away, muttering
things like "That's such a good
idea "or" Very nice work,"
without even reaching down to
see if they had brought their
wallet with them.
It wasn't about thc quality
of thc work. Carla makes museum quality pieces from fine silver, which are astounding in
workmanship. These simple
cord bracelets weren't made
with quality in mind. They
were made to be a token, a
reminder. They were a gesture.
And yet the majority of the
people wandering around in
their free time couldn't pull two
dollars from their stuffed wallets to help others in need.
Maybe you are just not that
concerned
about
people.
Perhaps you are more partial to
animals instead.
Well, to all the selfish and
unconcerned members of the
community out there, there is
still time for you to redeem
yourself.
There is a donation for the
SPCA going on this Saturday
morning behind The Express in
downtown Lock Haven. If you
bring bottled water, cat food,
dog food, toys, dishes, and
beds... anything pet related, it
will be taken to the GulfCoast
area later that day.
So even if you cannot relate
to being human, dip into your
primal instinct and help your
fellow beasts.

Field hockey continues to impress against tough competition
Kevin Carver
Sports Reporter
Head coach Pat Rudy beefed
up the 2005 schedule ofthe field
hockey team to continue to gain
respect around the nation.
After last year's 19-1 season,
which saw thc Haven go undefeated in Northeast Conference
(NEC) play to win the regular
season title, Rudy's gang scheduled two Big Ten foes. Penn
m\\\\\\\m
State and Ohio State, as well as
tough road contests with
Towson and Bucknell.
Finishing up their two-year
Division 1 trial period, a NCAA
provision that prohibits any
team from post-season play
after switching to D-l, the Lady
Eagles will look to again clinch
the NEC title and finish the season on a winning note.
Already three weeks into thc
season. LHU sits at 3-2, with
both losses coming on the road
(a 4-1 defeat at Penn State and a
1-0 loss at Towson).
However. Lock Haven is a
perfect 3-0 on the cushiony turf
that is Charlotte Smith Field,
where they have swung the
knock-out punch early and often
against overmatched opponents.

Staff Reporter
Making my weekly pilgrimage to the Roxy on Sunday
night. 1 noticed two things out of
thc ordinary.
First, I noticed that the theatre was unusually crowded (at
least for a Sunday night).
Second, I noticed that there was
a shocking amount of older people; after all. one would have
thought that a movie titled Thc
40 Year Old Virgin would be a
sure way to ward older people
off, akin to garlic for vampires.
I have no idea what the senior citizen set might have
thought about Thc 40 Year Old
Virgin, but it left this member of
the younger age well satisfied
and I had a lot of company in
that opinion.
1 don't think it is necessary to
explain who the main character
Andy (Steve Carell) is; if you
haven't figured it out by reading
the title of thc movie, then you
are obviously paying less attention than George W. Bush does

The plot revolves around

The warm summer sun was
dipping over the horizon and the
streets of Baltimore were overrun with youth from far and
wide. They carpoolcd from
like Pennsylv

Virginia and Delaware with
nothing more than a dream;
a dream that on this night
they would get their socks
rocked off.
This city's young and

trains, hopped busses and
hailed taxis downtown for

The Mars Volta and
System of a Down were in
town and on Monday,
August 22 the 1st Mariner
Arena
downtown
in
Baltimore was transformed
into a melting pot ofrock
stars and anarchists alike.
The Mars Volta took the
stage sometime around 7:45
p.m.. after a ridiculous and
melody-free performance by
opening act Bad Acid Trip. The
few hardcore fans in attendance
came to their feet in anticipation
of seeing The Mars Volta, one of
the world's most progressive
bands, do what they do
best...jam.
Thc group of eight, whose
members include those of former cmo group At the Drive In,
strutted onstage in a 70's
wardrobe that could have been
taken straight from the set of
"Saturday Night Fever." With
the band sporting afros. bellbottoms and leather vests, thc
crowd was rightfully ill at ease.
This was not Ihe type of crowd
to drop a 70's disco trip on.
These kids were here to rock,
mosh and cause chaos in all its
glorious forms.
Most in attendance were
there for System of a Down and
were looking for any excuse to
get rowdy. Unfortunately, this
was not possible with a band
that performs 20-minute long
rock ballads interspersed with
the occasional bombastic solo
from drummer Jon Theodore.
Those in attendance gave a

"Stir it up," said bass player

p.m. and from the first notes of
hit single "BYOB" to the final
chords of "Sugar," the arena was
a sea of absolute mayhem.
System, often referred to as
"S.O.A.D." bestowed a confidence and charisma that kept thc
entire crowd hanging on every
word. Few bands these days
have a repertoire capable of
keeping an audience enthralled
for an entire show, but S.O.A.D.
is one of those very few bands
that can make a two hour set feel
like 15 minutes.
The intensity given off by

Regardless of the chaos and
anarchy taking place on the
arena floor, no one came with
the intent to do anything other
than enjoy a rock show. That is
exactly what System ofa Down
delivered; a show that gave the
thousands in attendance a brief
respite from the heat and humidity of a brutal Baltimore summer.
The final notes of hit single
"Sugar" echoed throughout thc
arena and the mass exodus
began, but one lone figure stood
overlooking the emptying arena
floor with a look of utter disbelief strewn across his face. Still
in awe from experiencing two of
the worlds most innovative and
awe inspiring rock bands, the
lone figure leaned over to the
approaching usher, whispered
"Unreal man. Totally unreal,"

Students in the Americorp

more meal equivalences will be
coming.
"I think downstairs is a disaster, because it's very unorganized, and there's no meal equivalency," said Irssy Perez, senior
in social work, adding that she
didn't have a problem with the
old Bentley setup.
Now nothing packaged can
be sold as a meal, like the bag of
chips and a bottled drink meal
many students ate last year.
This means that the vendors
don't have to be paid and is the
reason for the higher $4 higher
cost a meal. Is it worth it?
The $4 raise as opposed to
the $3.75 for the downstairs is a
plus, but one food item can go
over the limit.
"A lot ofchanges have been
made, but how it benefits the
students financially is still
unhelpful."

Love that new food at

Happy with the job that the

doing? President Miller wants
to hear about it.
Dr. Keith Miller is opening
his doors for all 5,129 students
on campus to provide a more

Haven University. One

Sullivan Hall will host "Meet
the Prez," giving students an
opportunity to chat with the
man in charge without an

"I think access to the
President is important," said
Miller. "It gives people a
chance to be more personal,
which is always a good thing."
This new approach continues the more personal touch
that Miller has installed at the
university since he has been
hired in August 2004. Last
year students were treated to
midnight breakfast, a large buffet style meal held late night
during finals week, as well as
the Student Appreciation
Dinner, where faculty, staff and

were many from LHU who did
anything but relax.
This statement couldn't be
truer for the students who serve
as cadets in thc Lock Haven
University Army ROTC Soaring
Eagle Battalion. Nearly a dozen
cadets from all academic classifications and backgrounds put
their mettle to the test at different training events located
throughout the United States. A
few faculty members from LHU
even took thc time to engage in
some ofthe training themselves,
just to get a taste ofwhat a cadet
goes through during a typical
summer.
The first stop on the cadet
summer training tour was Ft.
Benning, GA, where two cadets
from LHU shook off the shack-

of the American Political
Science Association and one of
the most distinguished political
scientists writing today.
In the 1960s, he was
involved in a landmark dispute
with C. Wright Mills over thc
nature of politics in the United
States. Mills held that America's
governments are in thc grasp of
unitary and demographically
narrow power elite. Dahl
responded that there are many
different elites involved, who
have to work both in contention
and in compromise with one
another. If this is not democracy

les of life on the ground and
took to the sky as they underwent parachutist training at the
United States Army Airborne
School. For three weeks Cadet
Brian Schlosser and Cadet
Louis Kohl learned the fundamentals of Army parachuting
while undergoing some of the
most rigorous training the Army
has to offer. The skills they
acquired, along with an intensive Physical Training (PT) program, prepared both the body
and the mind and enabled these
two cadets, along with hundreds
of other cadets and soldiers
from all branches of the armed
services, to safely and correctly
exit an airplane at an altitude of
only 1250 feet, use a parachute
to control their descent, and land
without incident. Upon completion offive successful parachute
jumps, graduates of the US
Army Airborne School are
awarded the Parachutist Badge:
a set of silver wings.
Next on the cadet summer
training tour was Ft Knox, KY,
where Cadet Britton Kreitz
completed the Leader's Training
Course (LTC). LTC is a 30-day
program where rising juniors,
regardless of their experience
with ROTC or the military, are
given the necessary tools to
enter the ROTC program when
they arrive at their universities
in the fall.
The last stop on the cadet
summer training tour is the big
show on the west coast, out in
Ft. Lewis. WA. The Leader's
Development and Assessment
Course (LDAC), more commonly known as "Warrior
Forge," is the single most
important training and testing
even a cadet must complete in
the four years ofthe ROTC program. A 33-day course. Warrior
Forge is designed to test a
cadet's leadership potential
under varying extremes ofphysical, mental, and emotional
stress. Aside from assessing the
basic soldier skills an officer in
the Army must posses, Warrior
Forge determines how effective
a cadet is (and has the potential
to be) at leading soldiers in the
military. The pace of the training is feverous, with duty days
lasting longer than 16 hours in
most cases. Warrior Forge culminates with a ten-day field
exercise where cadets work
through simulated combat missions in a real-world environment. If cadets can endure the
lack of sleep, physical rigor, and
the mental and emotion strain,
they will return to their universities senior cadets of the ROTC
battalions. Cadets who completed Warrior Forge from Lock
Haven University are: Cadet
Andrew Park, Cadet Steven
Coley, Cadet Marie-Claire
Grennier,
Krystal
Cadet
Hammond, Cadet
Nathan

Cadet Erin Hill, and Cadet

Identity theft is a growing
problem across thc country.
Identity thieves use a variety of
personal information, such as
account
passwords. Social
Security numbers, and credit
card numbers to commit fraud
under thc victim's name. The
Federal Trade C ommission estimates that U.S. consumers and
businesses lost S52.A billion last
year due to identity theft. Here
in Pennsylvania, reported cases
of identity theft have increased
from less than 5,100 in 2002 to
more than 7,500 in 2004.
The damage threat identity
theft can cause to an individual's
reputation and credit can be dev-

Well, well. well... summer is over. School is hack. Shoes protect
feet. Dinosaurs arc extinct. Water is wet. Penguins only fly when
they're flung in a catapult or trehuchet. Sorry. 1 got stuck in a string
ofobvious phrases. That happens sometimes. Warning: This column
may be offensive to people that have no soul, sense of humor, or
have the IQ equivalent ofa toasted-cheese sandwich. Strap yourself
in and glue those eyes open... 1 hope you didn't forget how to read
overthc summer because once again it's time for some comical considerations.
If frog urine causes warts, and there's always a wart on a
witch's nose, then witches are gross.
The band "The Who" originally came from where? That's
right, Whoville.
If beauty is in the eye ofthe beholder, can you rip out the eye
of a beautiful person, hold it, and be beautiful?
Stop-animation is a long arduous process that requires a
colossal amount of patience... kind of like teaching George W.
Bush how to speak English correctly.
That's thc first one down. Now I just have to crank out
another 10 ofthose or so. I bet you're salivating just thinking about
it. In preparation for the upcoming column I expect you all to read
Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History OfTime," so come back in two
weeks for another critically-acclaimed comical considerations.

A week later, we're all still
homeless...
but with all the news coverage today of people returning to
their homes in Jefferson Parish
(to take photos and bury the rotting meat- in their backyard),
and the small band of folks celebrating the Decadence Festival
in the French Quarter. I feel like
maybe some people out there
are confused and wondering
why the rest of us haven't
returned to our homes.
Wc can't.
And even for those of us
who may actually have houses
standing intact, it is a strange
kind of limbo knowing that on
one hand we have nothing, and
on the other, perhaps we may
eventually return to discover
everything untouched: the
unfinished Joan Didion memoir
next to thc tub, the clothes
tossed next to it on the floor.
But it may be many many
months before we get back, and
many people will never have
that chance at all. So do wc
wait, or move forward, or struggle to find some awkward position in between?
Perhaps the answer is for all
of us to get press credentials.

ingly for her, since nothing else
was going on beneath it.
Once we got inside, they
squeezed us into a too small
room with too few seats, where
we were assigned numbers and
told to wait. I estimated three
hours at the pace they were
going, but someone pulled me
out ofthe back ofthe room saying I looked tired.
This didn't seem fair, but I
wasn't complaining. I then was
put through the intact process,
which was screwed up because
I don't have an address and my
ID address is different from
where I was actually living.
When they were done they had
a report on the loss ofmy home
and possessions, but they didn't
have the actual location, which
1 scribbled across the form for
them. ,
They gave me a voucher for
clothes from Goodwill and a
voucher for $360 that could
only be cashed at a Walmart 11
miles away. When I asked if
there would be more assistance
later, I was told:
"We don't know. Watch TV
and if there's an announcement,
come back."
What if I don't have a TV?
"That's why were trying to
get people hotel rooms."
Then they sent me to apply
for food stamps, which was
another application that was
fouled up because in order to
get the card you need to have an
address. (The same is true for
the potential direct deposit of
funds into victim's accountsmost of us left our banking info
at home. Duh.)
I also looked into taking
classes at Florida State while
I'm here. The university is very
accomodating about it, but the
Department of Education hasn't
approved financial aid for disif they
had been awarded aid at their
own school.
So we can register for courses, but we may have to pay for
them with our Red Cross

The Lousiana SPCA needs
your support
I've been getting a ton of
0**W*f (*ff**\
email from concerned folks
regarding the animal rescue
efforts in New Orleans, and
increasingly it seems that no
one is recognizing the efforts of
the local SPCA.
While it is wonderful that so
much help has come in from
other animal organizations
around thc country, I'm a little
irked that they seem to be getting all the press. It is as if the
LA-SPCA has been forgotten.
The LA-SPCA is located
near the Industrial Canal (and
not far from my own home).
They evacuated all of the animals in their shelter on the
Friday before the storm hit.
They do this any time there
is even a hint of a hurricane.
After the storm, they were without offices, electricity or
phones, not to mention without
many of their staff and volunteers who had also been evacuated.
They set up a temporary
shelter in Gonzalez, which had
3,000 animals the last I heard,
and a staffof something like six
people. Their limited staff has
been taking instructions from
distraught owners and breaking
into homes to rescue their animals-yet they have been criticized for not taking in all thc
strays along the way.
Obviously, they need assistance, and many other groups
have come in to help. But these
groups, including the Humane
Society, have the benefit of not
being under water. And now I
see that these outside groups are
also issuing press releases and
soliciting contributions.
Why is the LA-SPCA
ignored in these press stories?
Because they are too busy trying to survive.
They don't have time to talk
to the press. But they do need
supplies, contributions, and all
kinds of help to get these animals into safe places and, if
possible, reunited with their
owners.
They will also have a lot of
work to do to rebuild their
organization after the waters
recede.
Please visit the LA-SPCA
Website and see what you can
do.

by phone.
There was a long list of
questions, which made it clear
that the FEMA relief system is
set up only to help people of a
certain class level. If I don't
qualify, imagine how it must be
for most of thc poverty stricken
residents of New Orleans.
Do 1 own my house? No. Is
it a place of business? No. Do I
know the extent of the damage?
No, I'm not allowed to check.
Did 1 become unemployed
because of the disaster? Not
Then they told me that I
could possibly get reimbursed
for rent of a new place. And I
can check into taking out a
loan. 1 began screaming questions into the phone.
"Hold on," the rep said, "I'm
not done with my script." The
rest of the script suggested that
I call the Red Cross and apply
to the IRS for a partial refund of
taxes. Again, if you don't make
money, you don't pay that much
in taxes, so basically, we're all
screwed.
Is this the extent of what
they have to offer? I asked.
The official answer: "We
don't know."

The Red Cross report...and
other paradoxical discoveries
Thursday I went to the Red
Cross in Tallahassee, where I'm
currently staying. I hadn't imagined there would be thousands
of evacuees here too, so I was
startled to discover a long line
already stagnated in the morning sun.
Actually, when I called the
Red Cross that morning, they
gave me specific instructions on
where to go, and when I arrived
I found that they center had
moved. 1 was ready to leave but
a volunteer took me by the arm
and told me she would take me
there.
When I saw the long line, 1
started turning to bolt, but the
woman stopped me again and
said. "You have to go into that
line, it is the only way you'll get
help. FF.MA isn't going to help
you."
So we stood in line and
watched as a wealthy blonde

OPINION
Finding courage
"I hereby command you: Be
strong and courageous; do not
be frightened or dismayed, for
the Lord your God is with you
wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
Fear comes at us in all sorts
of different ways. Going to college for the first time is just one
ofmany.
Before move-in day. 1 was
ecstatic about college life, and I
couldn't wait until the big day.
All 1 could think about was making some new friends, meeting
some great professors, and joining clubs.
1 even began doing a countdown in the middle of July to
mark the number of days left
until move-in day.
But as the day came closer,
in the back of my mind I could
hear a little voice talking to me,
and the little voice got louder
and clearer as the day got nearer.
This voice was actually negative thoughts that were popping
up in my mind one after another.
Things like "you'll never
Succeed in college," "you'll
never make any friends," "you'll
fail your classes." "you'll never
be who you want to be."
It was frightening after a
while. I did not realize then that
the devil was trying to grab hold
of me and lead me off God's
path. He was using fear to make
me unstable.
Soon it had come down to
the night before move-in day.
and I was an emotional mess.
The negative thoughts were
swirling around in my head so
much I felt like I was losing control, and 1 broke down and cried
before I went to bed that night.
1 no longer wanted to go to
,
one would get after a hug with a
family member or best friend.
Except this time, God was
the one that was hugging me. I
knew he was. The calming feeling 1 got was His way oftelling
me that things were going to be
"I trust you God," I remember telling Him that night. "I
know as long as you are with
me, things will be alright."
When I got up the next
morning. I felt refreshed despite
the fact it was four in the morning. 1 wasn't afraid anymore. 1
felt more confident in myself
than 1 had felt in weeks. Most
importantly. I felt ready to face
college head on.
I remember the last words 1
said in my house before I left. I
was still in the house overlooking my fairly empty room. I
then turned to the door, put my
hand on the light switch and said
aloud "let's do it God." I then
turned orT the light and left thc
darkness behind me.
How? How did I suddenly
go from being drastically afraid
of college to a calmer and determined attitude in just a matter of
hours? Simply put, 1 trusted in
God to help me overcome my
fears, and He did.
Now ofcourse when my parents left me in my dorm alone
after unpacking all my things, I
did feel thc fear start to creep
back on me, but this time 1 wasn't going to let it get to me. This
time I knew God was with me
and would help me face my
fears head on no matter happened. I believe it was because
I trusted in Him that I made it
through that day, and as it turned

with my current friends where I about how I wouldn't succeed
felt safe and in good company. I and I'd fail my classes, well they
didn't feel ready to step foot into were all dead wrong.

When confronted, the King
threatened he would "throw
them into a furnace of burning
fire" if they did not worship the
statue.
But the three said to the king
"we have no need to present a
defense in you in this matter. If
our God whom we serve is able
to deliver us from the furnace of
blazing fire and out of your
hand, O king let him deliver us.
But if not, be it known to you, O
king, that we will not serve your
gods and we will not worship
the golden statue that you have
set up." Daniel 3:16
The three men were not fearful of what was going to happen
to them because they trusted in
God to take care of them. And
He did.
When the king saw that the
three men were unharmed by the
fire, he turned to his counselors
and asked why this was happening.
They replied "1 sec four men
unbound, walking in the middle
ofthe fire, and they are not hurt;
and the fourth has an appearance
of a god."
Amazing things can happen
when wc believe and trust in the
Lord our God. We must always
trust in God that he will help
ease our fears and give us the
courage we need to make it
through our lives here on Earth,
until that very faithful day when
we are united with the Lord in
his Heavenly kingdom.
It isn't always easy to trust
that God will help us through the
things that trouble us. We all
know the devil's temptations to
slip from our walk with God are
strong, but God's will for us is
much stronger than those temptations.
We must never lose faith in
God no matter how scary the
world can be for us out there,
and wc must always trust in thc
Lord whenever wc feci afraid of
the things happening around us.
because God will provide for us.
He loves us so much that he
sent his only Son to die on the
cross for us, and I don't know
about you, but that must mean
that He cares for us no matter
what, being such a huge sacrifice and all.
So the next time you are
afraid of something happening
around you, maybe a big exam,
or a relationship, or what have
you, talk to God about it.
Pour out your heart and soul
to God and tell Him why you are
feeling afraid. Ask him to help
Him ease your fears and grant
you courage, and trust in Him
that he will help you. And He
always will.

Curiosity didn't kill
the cat, apathy did
Mike Porcenalu
Opinion Editor
As I was in the shower trying to think of what to write
about this week
it hit me.
Gallons upon gallons of steaming hot water were hitting my
shoulders and streaming down
my back. It is something as
simple as that that I take for
granted. Another would be a
tall, cold glass of filtered water
to drink.
These are a few things that
thousands of people don't have
access to, and haven't had for
weeks now.
Simply by fate and location,
I am a lucky citizen who wasn't
directly affected by Hurricane
Katrina. I am still able to walk,
not wade, to work and class.
It is very humbling thc
more I think about it. In fact, I
was going to write a column
verbally attacking our government for not being more
responsible for it's own citizens.
I was going to rant and rave
about lots ofthings. Things like
the fact that a few days after
Katrina hit, when our government finally realized that something had happened
their
first reaction was not to start
looking for survivors, but
rather to start looking for people to blame.
News agencies began to run
primetime specials asking the
question, "Could this have been
prevented?"
I just wanted to scream at
the TV.
No. this could not have
been avoided. It was a massive
swirling force that came barreling into the southern section of
our majestic country, effectively wiping out entire square
miles of civilization.
I am simply astounded, to
the point where I cannot fully
formulate my feelings about it,
that there was not a better plan
designed for a response.
It's not like it was an unex-

.
pected terrorist attack. For that
matter, it wasn't even an
expected but ignored terrorist
attack.
It was an act of God, a category five act of God in fact,
which could be seen by our
weather satellites over a week
before it hit land.
Wc knew it was coming.
Weather-persons all over the
country were looking worried
and repeatedly telling everyone
(and showing them) that there
was a huge swirling hurricane
strengthening in thc Gulf.
And yet our leader stayed
on his ranch, biking around and
basking in the sun. The head of
thc
Federal
Emergency
Management Agency, a man
given a high profile position to
organize thousands of people
with billions of dollars behind
them, apparently didn't feel like
doing his job.
Or maybe they had it built
up in their minds that we are
America, we are invincible.
Well, we are not. It is painfully
obvious as thc days wear on
that we are simply human and
susceptible to forces beyond
our control. And it is the federal government that is beyond
our control.
The best thing to do now is
to look forward, and concentrate on doing what we can
from where we are.
The most frustrating thing
to me is how the unaffected in
thc Lock Haven area remain
unaffected.
This past Friday during the
downtown art walk, my girlfriend Carla and I set up a small
table with simple beaded
bracelets and necklaces for
sale. A big red sign made it
clear that all proceeds from
these "hope bracelets" would
be donated to the Red Cross.
Despite thc fact that we
were set up in two different
locations in the downtown for a
total of four hours, we barely
made $30 to give.
We had a ton of well-ofl
and well adorned people slow
their pace and glance over our
sign and the simple strands
lying on our table.
These highfalutin' morons
had the audacity to sometimes
even browse over the selection
for a matter of minutes, picking
at them and rolling the beads
and
through their fingers
then walk away, muttering
things like "That's such a good
idea "or" Very nice work,"
without even reaching down to
see if they had brought their
wallet with them.
It wasn't about thc quality
of thc work. Carla makes museum quality pieces from fine silver, which are astounding in
workmanship. These simple
cord bracelets weren't made
with quality in mind. They
were made to be a token, a
reminder. They were a gesture.
And yet the majority of the
people wandering around in
their free time couldn't pull two
dollars from their stuffed wallets to help others in need.
Maybe you are just not that
concerned
about
people.
Perhaps you are more partial to
animals instead.
Well, to all the selfish and
unconcerned members of the
community out there, there is
still time for you to redeem
yourself.
There is a donation for the
SPCA going on this Saturday
morning behind The Express in
downtown Lock Haven. If you
bring bottled water, cat food,
dog food, toys, dishes, and
beds... anything pet related, it
will be taken to the GulfCoast
area later that day.
So even if you cannot relate
to being human, dip into your
primal instinct and help your
fellow beasts.

Field hockey continues to impress against tough competition
Kevin Carver
Sports Reporter
Head coach Pat Rudy beefed
up the 2005 schedule ofthe field
hockey team to continue to gain
respect around the nation.
After last year's 19-1 season,
which saw thc Haven go undefeated in Northeast Conference
(NEC) play to win the regular
season title, Rudy's gang scheduled two Big Ten foes. Penn
m\\\\\\\m
State and Ohio State, as well as
tough road contests with
Towson and Bucknell.
Finishing up their two-year
Division 1 trial period, a NCAA
provision that prohibits any
team from post-season play
after switching to D-l, the Lady
Eagles will look to again clinch
the NEC title and finish the season on a winning note.
Already three weeks into thc
season. LHU sits at 3-2, with
both losses coming on the road
(a 4-1 defeat at Penn State and a
1-0 loss at Towson).

perfect 3-0 on the cushiony turf
that is Charlotte Smith Field,
where they have swung the
knock-out punch early and often

The warm summer sun was
dipping over the horizon and the
streets of Baltimore were overrun with youth from far and
wide. They carpoolcd from
like Pennsylv

Virginia and Delaware with
nothing more than a dream;
a dream that on this night
they would get their socks
rocked off.
This city's young and
disenchanted
boarded
trains, hopped busses and
hailed taxis downtown for
those same reasons.
The Mars Volta and
System of a Down were in
town and on Monday,
August 22 the 1st Mariner

downtown
in
Baltimore was transformed
into a melting pot ofrock
stars and anarchists alike.
The Mars Volta took the
stage sometime around 7:45
p.m.. after a ridiculous and
melody-free performance by
opening act Bad Acid Trip. The
few hardcore fans in attendance
came to their feet in anticipation
of seeing The Mars Volta, one of
the world's most progressive
bands, do what they do
best...jam.
Thc group of eight, whose
members include those of former cmo group At the Drive In,
strutted onstage in a 70's
wardrobe that could have been
taken straight from the set of
"Saturday Night Fever." With
the band sporting afros. bellbottoms and leather vests, thc
crowd was rightfully ill at ease.
This was not Ihe type of crowd
to drop a 70's disco trip on.
These kids were here to rock,
mosh and cause chaos in all its
glorious forms.
Most in attendance were
there for System of a Down and
were looking for any excuse to
get rowdy. Unfortunately, this
was not possible with a band
that performs 20-minute long
rock ballads interspersed with
the occasional bombastic solo
from drummer Jon Theodore.
Those in attendance gave a
lukewarm response at best, even

p.m. and from the first notes of
hit single "BYOB" to the final
chords of "Sugar," the arena was
a sea of absolute mayhem.
System, often referred to as
"S.O.A.D." bestowed a confidence and charisma that kept thc
entire crowd hanging on every
word. Few bands these days
have a repertoire capable of
keeping an audience enthralled
for an entire show, but S.O.A.D.

that can make a two hour set feel

Regardless of the chaos and
anarchy taking place on the
arena floor, no one came with
the intent to do anything other
than enjoy a rock show. That is
exactly what System ofa Down
delivered; a show that gave the
thousands in attendance a brief
respite from the heat and humidity of a brutal Baltimore summer.
The final notes of hit single
"Sugar" echoed throughout thc
arena and the mass exodus
began, but one lone figure stood
overlooking the emptying arena
floor with a look of utter disbelief strewn across his face. Still
in awe from experiencing two of
the worlds most innovative and
awe inspiring rock bands, the
lone figure leaned over to the
approaching usher, whispered
"Unreal man. Totally unreal,"
and turned to head up the stairs
and out into the sweltering
night.
