McCollum Field's natural grass may turn to turf if a proposal by the athletic department
approved. The field experiences excessive use and problems with upkeep have resulted.
Len Mahonski
Staff Reporter
A proposal to resurface

Jack Stadium, which was slated to begin next summer, was
put on hold for a year to
explore the possibility of also
adding turf to McCollum
Field.
The new proposal will
include McCollum Field in the
mix and have both fields resurfaced by the summer of 2008.
In the new proposal,
McCollum Field, which has a
natural grass surface, would

receive a facelift and have synthetic turf added. University
officials agree it is hard to
maintain the natural grass turf
because of the excessive use it
receives since the closings of
the other fields on campus.
As a result of the dikelevee initiative, the lower field
has given way for a parking lot
and the intramural field has
been reserved for parking due
to the Alumni Center Project,
leaving the university with
only two fields on campus for
classes, athletics and free-play.

Job fairs can ease the job hunt
Brandy Rissmiller
Staff Reporter
Job fairs are a vital part of
the job search.
While they are not a necessary step in finding a job, they
are a big help.
As the name implies, job
fairs are typically fair-like
environments, where employers assemble in rows of booths
to speak to you about their
jobs.
Job fairs are an excellent
place to land employment
because employers are there
with the intent of arranging
interviews. Although rare,
some employers even interview and hire on the spot.

Joseph Melber

Amongst the most current

creation of the nation-state of
Israel is one of the most taboo
subjects in modern politics.
Almost like the issue of
social security (the third rail of
politics), the existence and
continued support of Israel is
an issue that few politicians
are willing to touch.

Bush hopes most Americans prefer

Stephanie LaSota
Opinions Editor
It is clear that extreme
conflicts of opinions are at an
all time high regarding the
current U.S. government. The
Bush administration is constantly being mocked and
made the butt of many jokes.
President Bush commented to Bill O'Reilly on Fox
News last Wednesday that he
thinks many people would

country uplifted rather than

I can agree that most
Americans would prefer to
praise the president rather
than abhor him. It's just too

such a response.

moral which hinges on the
U.S. tax burden which has
come out of its leadership in
support for Israel.
Let it be known firstly that
the United States before all
other countries of the world
supports Israel's existence
through the sending of money,
weapons, and troops to defend
the region.
All this for what? It would
be a mistake to assume that
other countries oppose Israel's
existence for the sole reason
that there is a tension between
the two faiths.
Anyone with any understanding of Islam would know
that a core concept ofthe faith
is to respect other faiths.
It is thus obviously not a

(China has already surpassed

the U.S. as the largest coal

The Bush administration
refused to sign onto the Kyoto
Protocol, an international
agreement adopted in Japan in
1997 calling on countries to
limit their emissions of greenhouse gases.
Instead, many environmentalists feel, they are pursuing carbon sequestration technology as a quick fix or
"Band-Aid" approach that
enables them to preserve the
existing fossil fuel infrastructure instead of replacing it
with clean renewable energy
sources or efficiency gains.
Essentially the technology
involves disposing of carbon
dioxide after it is produced,

rather than trying to hold
down its production in the first
place.
United Nations' studies
suggest, however, that it might
play a bigger role in fighting
global warming this century
than any other measure.

something that just did not go
over well for me.
What could that possibly
be, one might ask? Sadly
enough, it was the audience.
Though there were a select
few that were actually wellbehaved
and
respectful
throughout the show, the
majority of them were horrendous and incredibly disrespectful to the audience members

show as well as the actors on

tially be nothing but people
saying lines that they have
learned.
The least someone can do
is give the same respect they
would ask for if they were in
the actors' positions.
If people are unwilling to
be quiet, behave and keep their
comments to themselves, I
don't think they should waste
anyone's time by disrupting the
performance and the audience's enjoyment of the show
by taking up space that could
have been given to someone
who actually cared about the
show and actually wanted to
see it.
Those who do not actually
plan to be quiet and respectful,
then it might be better for you
to find something else to occupy your time because there are
other people who would gladly
sit in and truly appreciate what
they were seeing.

The Bald Eagles played
their last regular season home
game on Tuesday. The team
put up a fight against New
York Institution of Technology
and came out on top with a 32 victory.

Starting early in the match,
two minutes in, was Chris
Spinks who received a pass
from Jon Young. Spinks
kicked it home for the first
goal ofthe game. Paul Huckett
followed suit in the 15th
minute after taking an Ashley
Rosindale pass and putting it
past NYIT keeper Cosimo
D'Agostino.
NYIT's Peter Antoniades
headed a pass from teammate
Frank Sapnos past Haven
keeper Chad Feerrar for the
Bears' first goal ofthe game.
In the 60th minute of the
second half, three Bald Eagles
came together to net the third
goal of the game for Lock
Haven. Chris Spinks launched
a 30 yard pass to Leadopoe
Geain, who in turn headed the
pass to Huckett who then
kicked the ball home.
The final goal of the game
came from NYIT freshman
Keith Clancy on a break-away.

Coach Moore commented
on the game saying, "It is
always a pleasure to play
against NYIT as they are a
very skillful team and come
out to play against you rather
than just defend which is what
many teams do against us particularly here at LHU. It was a

Penn State he ids back to the drawing board
Scott Cooper

Daily Collegian
(Penn State)
Alter yet another series of
ineffective offensive line
play and unimaginative playcalling, the seeds of discontent among Penn State fans
were sown in Saturday's first
half, with boos raining down
to the field from the bleachers above.
Nittany Lion players and
coaches were also upset,
voicing a bit oftheir displeasure after the game.
Joe Paterno said his team
was lousy and that some
piayers have shown no
improvement from the start
of the season.
So it's back to the drawing board for Penn State this
week, as the Lions try to tlx
what ails their inconsistent
offensive line.
Fortunately for the boys
in blue and white, Purdue's
defense has the ability to
make a common doodle artist
look like Monet.
The problem for Penn
State is that the players will
actually have to execute,
which has proven easier said
than done this year.
"The offensive line didn't
give up seven sacks against
Michigan," tackle and offensive captain Levi Brown said
after the Illinois game his
first meeting with the media
in nearly a month. "You can
say that, but we all know that
more goes into it than just the
offensive line."

-

Brown commented that
it's difficult for the offensive
line when the coaching staff
continues to switch personnel
during the game, saying it's
tougher to get into a groove
that way.
"A lot of guys are feeling
like if [they] mess up, then
[they] will be taken out and
things like that, and we've
just got to get over that,"
Brown said.
Starting guard Robert
Price was replaced midway
through the game by sophomore Gerald Cadogan, and
starting right tackle John
Shaw was replaced by Chris
Auletta.
Nothing worked too well,
resulting in just 40 yards
rushing for Penn State
against a decent defense.
"Once a group is in there
together for a couple plays
we start to get in sync,"
Brown said.
"But when [the coaches]
keep switching, it takes people out of sync and the new
person has to get used to the
defender he's going against."
It is unfair to place all the
blame on the front five.
Sophomore wide receiver
Deon Butler hinted at a failure to adapt to what Illinois'
defense was showing, which
is odd because Paterno's line
this season, when asked
about conservative play-calling, has often been that the
offense takes what the opposdefense gives it.
ing
According to Butler, the
Fighting Illini were giving up

the middle of the field, but
the Penn State offense just
wasn't taking.
"Their corners were sitting low, and their safeties
were running outside the
hash," Butler told the
Post-Gazette.
Pittsburgh
"That's why a couple oftimes
I caught the ball on the sidelines I was getting hit as soon
as I caught it. We could have
easily gone inside of the
safeties and gave them a double move. We could easily
just run inside the safety. We
won, but that is stuff we can
learn from."
Penn State's offense*has
rarely utilized the middle of
the field in the passing game,
but Saturday might have
been an ideal time to start.
"We played into their
hands a little bit." Butler said.
"With them being so aggressive, we should have used
that against them."

chuang plotted to usurp the
throne.
Chu needed to find a way
of uniting the people to revolt
on the same day without letting the Mongol rulers learn
of the plan. Chu's close advisor, Liu Po wen, finally came
up with a brilliant idea.
A rumor was spread that a
plague was ravaging the land
and that only by eating a special mooncake distributed by
could the
disaster be prevented.

"When the moon is full,
mankind is one."
In China, full moon
always represents the gathering of friends and family. On
the day that the moon is the
fullest and brightest, usually
around the time of Autumn
Equinox, the Chinese like to
celebrate the abundance of the
summer's harvest, and they
call this day Mid Autumn
Festival.
Mid Autumn Festival is
said to have originated from
the ancient ceremony of sacrificing to the Moon Goddess,
but now it is a time for family
reunions.
On this night, families will
appreciate the moonlight, eat
mooncakes, and pray for a
safe year.
In fact, Mid Autumn
Festival has grown to be one
of the most important festiv als
in China today.
Eating mooncake is an
indispensable part of Mid
Autumn Festival; there is a
long history about mooncake.
The custom of eating
mooncake began in the late
Yuan dynasty. Han people of
that time resented the Mongol
rule of Yuan Dynasty and revolutionaries, so Chu YuanMMjR«vm

The mooncakes were then

distributed only to Han people, who found, upon cutting
the cakes open, the message
"revolt on the fifteenth of
eighteen moons."
Thus informed, the peoplerose together on the designated day to overthrow the Yuan,
and since that time, mooncakes have become an integral
part of the Mid Autumn
Festival.
There are many kinds of
mooncakes. Some with dates,
sugar, chocolate, nuts, eggs,
meats, fruits, coffee, or even
ice cream.
The shape of mooncake
also varies. Some are round,
square, heart, flower and star
shapes. Some even come in

"Stop Kiss" by Diana
Son was performed in
Sloan's Countdown Theatre
last week, marking the start
of the University Player's
fall season.
"Stop Kiss" was directed
by senior theatre major Katie
Woodring. This production
marked her directorial debut,
and a successful one at that.
On each of the four nights
that the show ran, the theater
was filled to capacity. The
black box theater created an
intimate setting for a show
with such heavy-hitting subject matter.
The show is about a hate
crime committed against two
friends who happen to fall in
love with each other. The
crowd couldn't help but feel
the emotion of Callie, a radio
traffic reporter, played by
senior Melissa Hanson,
when her "lesbian" lover and
she are attacked. Sara,
played by junior Emily
Gould, was left in a coma
after the attack.

out to

Many students at LHU are

making a connection with the
CSF and are helping to make a
difference in other people's
lives.
Last year, the fellowship
sent 50 people to Pittsburgh to
help a needy community and
to serve as strength and inspiration offering hope and a
sense of belonging to people
in need.
Senior Ryan Yarnell said
the difference between the fellowship here at LHU and other
ministries is the community
involvement.
"Other Christian organizations seem to be all talk and no
action, the CSF and BCC have
a positive impact on the community and are constantly
making a difference and
extending a helping hand to
those in need," said Yarnell.
Member of the Blanchard
Church of Christ and student
at LHU, Rick Harvey, agrees
the church and fellowship
have a lot to offer people.
"It's a wonderful place, the
people are friendly and the
church plays an active role to
help others," said Harvey.
