The LHU community gathered together last Friday to
remember the victims of
Hurricane Katrina in a "Service
held in front
ofPrice Auditorium last Friday.
Thc event, sponsored by the
university's Campus Ministries,
coincided with the declaration
made by President Bush that
Sept. 16 be a National Day of
Prayer and Remembrance.
Dr. Linda Koch opened the
ceremony with words reminding
those present that four years ago
a service was held in the same
place to remember the victims
of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks. Dr. Koch called on the
students and staff of LHU to
once again reach out through the
different faith communities
present.
"While our community has
been spared the destruction and
devastation of the Gulf Coast
states, it is our responsibility to

i

share our wealth and concern for
humankind" Dr. Koch said.
Members of the various
faiths in thc Campus Ministries
spoke to the students gathered at
Price and prayed for peace and
restoration in areas affected by
the storm. Many also stressed
the need to remember our fellow
Americans and reach out with
compassion and hospitality.
Jeff Schaffer ofthe Newman
Community, a Catholic organization on campus, said the
tragedy reminded us that we are
"one human family." He then
handed out blue wristbands with
the phrase printed on them.
Lock Haven University's
Gospel Choir sung the hymn
"Amazing Grace" and a song
chosen especially for the service
titled "I Need You".
Students were invited to take
the microphone and share their
thoughts. One student reflected
the somber mood of the service
when he said he didn't have
many thoughts, he just "wanted
to pray."

that it would remain open during the cold, winter breaks so
people can still enjoy Bentley

that the truck drive to other locations around Lock Haven for
their events, like a catering service, but that option is not a pos-

necessity ofthe Internet, according to Hanson.
"Due to technology limitations, it is necessary for the
truck to be able to connect to an

There are currently experimentations with wireless servers
so that flex accounts can be used
in the future and the vehicle can

Tips To Save Big Bucks
Dan Blackmore
Guest Writer
Spending money wisely
while in college is often a challenging objective. With so
much freedom and often an
ATM card in hand, temptation is
constantly knocking on the bank
account door.
What most students do not
realize is that it is quite simple
to make that money last.
Though you will not be able to
eat out or order pizza every
night, you will still be able to
enjoy everything that college
has to offerand keep a few extra
dollars in your pocket.
The first thing an LHU student has to get used to is eating
at Bentley. It is already paid for,
so take advantage of it. Instead
of going to the convenience
store for every bottle of soda
you want, use the pre-paid flex
account. There is already money
in there so you will not be paying out ofthe pocket.
"The flex account really
helps you out a lot. I really like
Ouizno's subs and now I can
simply charge it to my card
without paying out ofmy pocket. It is really nice that 1 can feel
like I am going to eat without
using extra money." said Sarah
Carney from Jackson, New
Jersey.

Jessica Thompson
Features Editor

If going out to cat is a must,
then make wise meal decisions.
Consider going out for breakfast
instead of dinner. If dinner is all
you have time for. try ordering
an appetizer instead of a full
meal and you will most likely
cut the price in half. Another
good way to eat great and save
money is to make your own.
Making your own food is the
cheapest way to eat. Almost
everything you buy these days is
microwavable. so use that to
your advantage.
Phone bills can also be a big
money pitfall. Keeping in contact with your friends is a definite need in college, but go
about it in a smarter fashion.
Use the phone in thc dorm as
much as possible, pick up the
cell phone only when absolutely
needed. Shop around for a
cheaper wireless plan or think
about starting a family plan with
your friends because then you
can talk to each other for free.
"I talk to my friends a lot
and I used to go way over my
minutes. After a few ridiculous
phone bills I decided to make a
family plan with my friends.
The initial cost isn't that bad and
every extra person is only ten
dollars a month. Now we talk
for free and my bills are definitely at an all time low, which
is a really good thing." said Josh
Wisniewski, a sophomore at

LHU.
The ATM card can be your
best friend or your worst enemy.
Having the card on you at all
times brings new temptation to
spend your hard earned money.
The most effective way to make
your money last is to leave the
ATM card in your room and
limit yourself with cash. At the
beginning of the week, take out
a reasonable amount of money
and make that last the week.
This way you will not be overdrawn on your card when the
year is over. The average college graduate leaves college
with $3,000 of debt, so think
about that the next time you
plan on charging.
Also, bring a bicycle to campus. Lock Haven's campus is
not the biggest in the world so
you can pretty much go anywhere with a bicycle. With gas
prices constantly going up. driving around the city will help you
save a pretty penny. Riding a
bike is free and it is also good
exercise as well.
Be smart when using your
money because it will leave
your pocket as fast as you can
pull your hand out. Keep track
ofall spendings to have an idea
of where you are in your bank
account. Give yourself a budget
and be smart when spending
money.

With the addition of a new
outdoor patio at Hanger 9 this
summer and Java Therapy, the
coffee shop, opening last spring,
downtown Lock Haven has
been getting quite the facelift
over the past few months.
This facelift has recently
taken on a new direction, however, and has spread to the feet
of the community of Lock
Haven.
Haven Shoes, 115 E. Main
St., the newest addition to
downtown Lock Haven, opened
in mid-July and has been making a name for itself ever since.
"We have been doing really

well since we have opened. 1
feel as though we have not only
reached our goals for the first
few months ofbusiness but have
exceeded them." said owner,
Craig Fleming.
Fleming, an expert outdoorsman. found that opening a
shoe store was the natural thing
to do after working in a friend's
shoe store in State College for
six years.
"It was never my goal growing up to open a shoe store. 1
didn't even go to college for it.
After working at my friend's
store, it was just something that
I grew into," explained Fleming.
Fleming also hopes to provide not only the community
with quality shoes, but the uni-

vcrsity students as well.
"When I was working in
State College, I would get so
many college students from
Lock Haven that would drive all
the way up here just to buy a
pair of shoes. That sounded
crazy to me so I figured it would
be a good opportunity," said
Fleming.
Haven Shoes is fully stocked
with all different types of shoes
such as athletic wear, casual
shoes and dress shoes. They
also carry name brands like Dr.
Martens. New Balance and
Timberland. Haven Shoes also
sells socks, gym bags and backpacks.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Monday through Saturday.

Spotlight Shines on The Players
Melanie Shellhammer
Staff Reporter
Instead of taking advantage
of free time with a dose oftelevision that will ultimately disappoint you, whether by thc lack
of any true entertainment value
or by the overwhelming amount
of asinine shows recently available, head over to Sloan for a
dose of live theatre that is eager
to impress.
The University Players and
the Lock Haven University
Department of Performing Arts
are bringing to thc stage three
dynamic plays this semester.
Trojan Women, An Inspector
Calls and Extremities will all be
apart of the fall line-up. The
plays, which focus on various
social situations and the diverse
outcomes of extreme actions,
have already begun rehearsing.
Running Oct. 19, 20,21, and
22 at 8 p.m. in the Countdown
Theatre, An Inspector Calls is
directed by Anna Yothcrs. a senior here at Lock Haven. A commanding whodunit that revolves
around thc death ofan unknown
woman and a wealthy family
called upon by an unknown
stranger. An Inspector Calls
aims to magnify society's skew
on morality and ethics.
Trojan Women is directed
by Dr. Gino Chelakis and will
run Nov. 3, 4, 5, and 10, 11 at 8

ing to participate. Meetings are
held every other Wednesday in
Sloan 321, Countdown Theatre.
"Even when we simply seek
to entertain, we learn something
about ourselves," said Chelakis.
"Live theatre does that better
than anything else 1 can think of
and, when I say live theatre 1
mean the production of plays,
dance concerts, choral concerts,
football games, volleyball
games and basketball games,
any arena where we, as a community, come together to witness something that is 'living' in
front of us. Theatre is a living
being that creates community as
it performs itself, and the healthier our communities are, thc better people we become."
Some think that theatre is
just about jazz hands and chorus
lines, but in the end, it is much
more than that. Theatre is an
expression. It encompasses
every emotion evoked in the
human spirit and through performance it tries to capture
those emotions of stage.
Everything surrounding human
behavior can be observed in theatre. So when the time comes
along and others sit around
moping about the lack of anything worthwhile to do in Lock
Haven, head over to Sloan and
allow the University Players to
do what they do best; entertain
you.

p.m. with two performances on
the Nov. 12 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.,
in Sloan Theatre. Depicted during the Trojan War, the play portrays how the women of Troy
cope with a city lost and lives
destroyed because of the
destruction and violence that
inevitably accompany the war.
The messages parallel our current state of war and the repercussions that our society is dealing with.
Rounding out the fall lineup
is Extremities, directed by junior Erin McDonald, which can
be seen in the Countdown
Theatre Nov. 14, 15, 16 and 17
at 8 p.m. Diving into the world
of violence and savage revenge,
Extremities explores what happens when the prey becomes the
hunter and a victim has the
chance to gain the upper hand
against her would-be rapist.
If you have yet to familiarwith the arts preyourself

Retractions you probably
didn't see
I'm not at all surprised by
any of the following corrections,
so I thought I'd pass them on:
Last Sunday, the TimesPicayune reported the Mayor
Nagin had purchased a home in
Dallas, suggesting that he didn't
see any future in New Orleans.
Today the paper issued a retraction: he didn't buy a house, he
rented a condo for his wife and
children, then returned to work
in New Orleans.

Previously, many news
sources reported that the Mayor
hadn't even stayed in the city
during the hurricane and its
aftermath, making reference to
the fact that his office had been
"relocated outside of the city."
Later, these reports were corrected-his physical office had
been set up in a safe place, but
the mayor remained in the city.
Thc Washington Post on
September 4th. reported that
Governor Blanco still had not
declared a state of emergency.
Later they retracted this statement (attributed to an unnamed

"A Sept. 4 article on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
incorrectly said that Louisiana
Gov. Kathleen Babineaux
Blanco (D) had not declared a
state of emergency. She declared
an emergency on Aug. 26."
That's the Friday BEFORE the
storm. She requested federal
assistance on the 27th--two days
BEFORE the storm. Incidently,
the same Post article details the
reasons why the Bush administration tried to force the state
into signing over all authority to
them: '"Quite frankly, if they'd
been able to pull off taking it
away from the locals, they then
could have blamed everything

on the locals,' said the source,
who does not have the authority
to speak publicly."
And finallly, from my
friends at the Lousiana SPCA,
an answer to questions based on
a CNN report that they were
bypassing animals in order to
rescue only pets on their "list" of
animals whose rescue had been
requested by owners:
"Animals on the rescue list at
times do have priority, although,
these are far from the only ones
being rescued and housed at the
temporary shelter. The people
who have called in making a
specific request to rescue their
pet will be prepared to come and
get their animal. This will free
up much needed space and
resources to save more. Due to
thc circumstances, many of the
pets locked in homes have a
very limited supply of food and
water. They also have owners
willing to remove them as soon
as possible. All thc animals need
to be saved. We are doing what
is necessary to save as many as
possible."

Piety Street Chemical Spill
A large chunk of my neighborhood has suddenly been
blocked off with signs warning
of a chemical spill. I recently
saw a picture of my street. It
looks unchanged, except for the
barbed wire blockade, and the
fact that I can't return there.
One of the strangest things
about this whole experience is
not knowing. It's been three
weeks since I left. What do I
know now? Not much.
From what I can tell, the
flood waters stopped at my
street. Two blocks on the other
side of me, along the river, the
warehouses burned down. So
my immediate neighborhood
may be okay, including my own

they wouldn't be raped, etcuntil the National Guard forced
him out. Another friend told me
that he had friends in the
Marigny who managed to get
back to check on their things and
found that cverything-cverything—was gone. The house hadn't flooded at all, but someone
had helped themselves to thc
furniture, appliances, clothes,
and art.
And yet, every day brings a
new, contradictory report, like
this one describing a four block
area that my house borders:

barbwire across the streets of

On the barbed wire was a sign
that read, "Closed to Public.

Of course he went in anyway

A note to the Neville Brothers
Dear Aaron and Cyril,
I saw you on the news today
declaring that you will never
return to New Orleans, "except
to play music." I am curious.
How will your abandoning the
city make up for the fact that
the city was abandoned by
those who might have helped?
Will those who return be better
off without you? Do you think
that withdrawing your support
will bring more attention to the
problems the city may face?
And what should be made of
the exception to the rule: you're
willingness to return for an
evening, in exchange for
money.
I'm hoping there's been a
misunderstanding. Perhaps, like
many of us, you are simply in
shock. Maybe you can't imagine returning. Maybe, when you
say "to play music" you mean
that the music will remain and
draw you back, not that you,
too, will forget the City that
Care Forgot.
Sincerely, Ken Foster

others when they do us wrong.
A Pastor that I once knew
told me that she believed the
definition of a human being was
"a screw up." and she is right.
We all mess up sometimes. We
all sin, and that is why we
should always repent the things
that we have done wrong not
just to the people that wc have
done wrong to, but to God as
well. While our friends and
family might not always forgive
us for certain things, God
always will no matter what, all
we have to do is ask.

Sarah Huber. Huber leads the
team with 9 points on the year.

The Haven defense tightened up late in thc second half,
allowing few scoring chances
for the home-standing Raiders.
Sophomore goalkeeper Becca
Yerkes made nine saves on 10
shots in the win to improve to 43 overall.

Marissa Brunner
Sports Editor
The men's soccer team
recorded their second tie of the
season on Saturday, matching the
West Chester Golden Rams witha
1-1 draw.
Despite intense efforts from
both sides and an early goal by
freshman forward Paul Huckett,
the Bald Eagles were unable to
top the Golden Rams.

Lock Haven tallied a 3-2-2
overall record and a 2-1-2
Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference
record after
Saturday's game, while West
Chester left with a 4-2-2 overall
and a 3-1-1 PSAC record.
Huckett pulled through for the
Bald Eagles during the ninth
minute ofthe first half, nestling a
the top corner. The goal
goal

was assisted by junior Zach
Gibbon.
"It felt great scoring the goal,"
said Huckett. "However, I was
aware of the tough game still
ahead of us, and the importance of
staying focused to try and achieve
the three points."
The Bald Eagles were only
able to bask in the glory of their
one-point lead for about two minutes before West Chester's Matt
Christian brought thc score to a
1-1 tie. The score stayed
locked at l-l even after two overtime periods.
Freshman goalkeeper William
Trimble III, who played the entire
110 minutes, tallied six saves.
The Bald Eagles head back to
the field again today at 3 p.m. to
face off against the Bloomsburg
Huskies at McCollum Field.
Then the Haven will be traveling
to Kutztown University to confront the Golden Bears on
Saturday at noon.
