Although the reason for the small fire that occured in McEntire Hall Feb.
21 has not been determined, there is reason to think that an item that was
thrown down the trash chute could be the cause.

Staff Reporter
The controversy and discussion that has erupted on campus
due to Robin Jones' artwork
appears to be only the beginning.

Jones' work appeared in the
juried art show that officially
opened last Wednesday in Sloan.
Two of his pieces attracted
the attention of LHU's administration and were taken down
until an agreement was reached
on how the campus would
respond to the student and faculty reaction.
"They wanted to discuss
ways of dealing with the content
of the work," said Raymond
Heffner, the chair of the Art
Department.
Theremoval ofthe work was
only temporary and the art was
replaced by Wednesday afternoon.
It was placed in a separate
section, however, with statements by the artist and administration posted before the display.
The artwork was modeled
after racist jokes and included
the offensive punch lines with a
picture of a Jewish person on
one and Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. portrayed on the other.
During Wednesday's opening, Jones was approached by
many concerned students about
his work.
An informal discussion
developed as students voiced
their criticisms as well as praise
for the artist.
Jones called the dialogue
"one of the most important
moments in my life," during
which, he explained that his
inspiration for the work originated from racist jokes.
"The racism I have heard

tax-exempt.

The situation began last
June when the Clinton County
commissioners decided that the
apartment complex, which is
owned by the University
Foundation, could not be classified as tax-exempt because it
did not meet all of the criteria.
At the end of January.
Clinton County President Judge
Richard Saxton upheld the ruling made by the commissioners.
This meant that Evergreen
Commons will have to pay
more than $209,000 in yearly
taxes to local taxing bodies.
According to an article in
The

President Jerry Updcgraff said
the foundation is "very disappointed" by the ruling, but it
does not know what it will do
next.

The case would appear in
the state Superior Court if the
foundation decides to appeal
Saxton's decision.
There arc five criteria that
need to be met for an establishment to be considered taxexempt.

Saxton said that Evergreen
Commons does exist free of
profit motive and relieves the
government of some of its burden.
The three criteria thai
Evergreen Commons did not
meet were to advance a charitable purpose, to benefit a substantial class of persons who arc
legitimate subjects of charity

and to donate a substantial portion ofits services.

Gender gap in video gaming explained Insufficent
Sara Corecki
Cornell Daily Sun
(Cornell U.)

-

ITHACA, N.Y.
Prof. John
Sherry,
communications.

Michigan State University, discussed possible reasons why
males and females tend to gravitate towards different genres of
games.
"I told you I was going to
have something more sexy than
violence," Sherry said.
As a member of the video
game-ignorant. 35-and-0ver category, Sherry tried to think of an
educational use for video games.
However, he soon found that it
would be difficult to create an
educational game that would
appeal to both sexes equally.
While there are exceptions,
females tend to prefer puzzle
games such at Tetris. quiz games
and video games that arc modeled after classic board games
Males prefer sports, fighter,
action and shooter games. Both
genders enjoy simulation games
such as The Sims, massive multiplayer online games like
Hvcrquest or World of Warcraft
and racing games.
Males tend to play video
games longer than females,
playing about 6S minutes a day
and 7.6 hours a week compared
to females' 53 minutes a day and
7.4 hours a week. However, in
self-reports, females reported
playing video games less than
males even when play time was
the same. Females also perceive
that they don't play v ideo games
as well as males.
The gaming industry often
ignores the problems that arise
from gender differences. They
make enough profit off of
stereotypical males' games that
they do not have to gear games
towards females. The gaming
industry also suggested two
other possibilities: To design

different games for different
populations, or to make everyone play female games.
"My preference is to figure
out what's going on here. Why
do males and females like different games?" Sherry asked.
There are several proposed
causes for the differences in
game play between genders.
Some believe that differences arc the result of environmental influences. They say that
males are encouraged to play
with computers more than
females are. Others argue that
females don't play games
because many don't have female
characters or themes. However,
the addition ofa female protagonist does not significantly
increase the number of females
who play a game.
It is possible to see trends in
the way males and females play.
Males are directly competitive
and tend to play games that have
clear goals, females arc generally more focused on fair turn-taking and don't assign each other
specific tasks.
The games that each gender
prefers directly parallel these
early-age trends.
Sherry explained that "boys
and
girls are different."
Biologically, men use some
pails of their brain more than
women do and vice versa.
Different hormones might even
have an effect on the types of
games preferred by each sex.
He conducted a study that
compared cognitive skills to
video game play. Women are
generally better at verbal fluency, object location memory and
color memory.
"Their brains arc highly
tuned to detail. Male brains tend
to miss detail." Sherry said.
Those male brains, however,
are better at processing 3D rotation, targeting, and discmbedding, or the ability to spot patterns within patterns. These

f\/[jfnr> with H>trMtribution of

skills in which men tend to excel
are often the basic principles
behind video games.
In his study. Sherry wanted
to see if individual differences in
cognitive skills and predicted
game scores outweigh gender
differences. He tested 3D rotation, targeting, verbal fluency
and object location memory.
"It's neat how they were
stripping away factors until they
came down to the cognitive
skills involved," said Erica
Olsen, one of the event's attendees.
to
Sherry's
According
results, cognitive skills were
most important for verbal fluency and object memory location.
However, the most important
factor for 3D rotation was the
amount of exposure subjects
have had to video games.
Gender was the most influential
factor for targeting accuracy.
"I like that he didn't get the
results he wanted, and told us
about it." Olsen said.
Tonglin Xu grad said, "I'm
interested in how [his findings]
could be applied in creating
future software."
Once enough information is
gathered to design a game that
will appeal to both sexes, Sherry
hopes that fun. educational
video games will be developed
which will greatly enhance
learning.
"[Video games] allow you to
be engaged in a world where
variables are coming at you
from all different directions,"
Sherry said.
Because video games allow
multiple things to happen at the
same time, they would be ideal
for explaining the complex
interconnectivity of biological
concepts.

include the time needed to travel

although it is located only a mile
away.
The administration has
assured that the student schedules will be adjusted to satisfy
the need of extra time.
Another reason the plans are
still far into the future is the fact
that landscaping needs to be
done at the new facility.
"We need natural walkways
and a connection to the main
campus. We also need the proximity for parking lots, as there
arc none down there, and pulloffs for vehicles such as the
shuttle-van." said Harnishfeger.
If all plans carry through and
the science department does
make a move to the cast campus,
a big question still on hand is
what will be happening to the
remaining Ulmer Hall.
"If it is approved, then presumably design work could start
no sooner than the release of the
funding for the project," said
Little. "As you can see, we are
several years away from realizing this. The university will still
have to determine how Ulmer
Hall will be used after the construction, but as you can see that
would be several years into the
future."

"Total Beautification Experience

"At the art show he seemed
sincere about his actions claiming that he only made that picture to evoke emotion and bring
both white and blacks together
for conversation but obviously
that was not successful,"
Alysha Jones said.
Professor Sharon Stringer
of the Communication Media
Department said that she was
also unconvinced by Jones's
artwork. She said that he "did
not achieve what was intended
according to what was displayed" as an explanation.
Instead of bringing to light
the topics that Jones declared
he was exposing, the artwork
"incited students and got students angry; it raised discussion
of freedom of press" yet did not
truly uncover racist problems in
America.
"The problem ofracism was
not even addressed," said
Stringer, "and that was my
biggest problem."
The miscommunication and
misunderstanding that occurred
among students after the artwork was unveiled, was a by-

product of a lack of faculty
intervention, according
to
Stringer.
"The faculty has as much as
responsibility as students."
Stringer said in regard to the
fact that such work should be
properly clarified.
The chair of the Art
Department acknowledged the
misunderstanding between students and artist.
"Unfortunately, some read
the works to be racist in themselves," Heffner said, adding.
"I think the artist was sincere in
his intention to expose racism."
In the end. Jones stated that
he believed his endeavor was a
success, in that it created dialogue and opened communication about the subject.
He hoped that he and others
on campus would be able to
"get closer together as human
beings" and to cut the racial
barriers that still separate people in America.
A discussion concerning the
work will be held in the PUB at
12:30 on Thursday, which will
be one of many on-going dialogues about Jones' art and
what it and its message means
to the campus and community.

...Everyone should have one.

1 Comical Considerations mL cFW
Attention K-Mart Shoppers

I

there is a deal on whole wheat croutons. Hurry to the baked goods aisle and get
your super savings today. Attention K-Mart shoppers again, if you did not already realize this, you are not in KMart and this was just a cruel joke.

Warning: The following may contain jokes. Yes, jokes. Believe it or not, I

don't believe every single one of these. Let's make sure this is blatantly obvious
to everyone. I'm going to make a cannibal joke later on, and guess what?
That's right, I'm not a cannibal.
Hard to believe, huh? And now it's time for some more comical considerations.
To think that there is only life on Earth
is just like thinking you've only eaten
spit-covered fast food one time.

Why kill two birds with one stone when you can kill two stoners with a penguin?
Santa Claus knows what little kids are doing
whilst they're sleeping and awake and
exudes jolliness when they sit on his lap.
I think that's all I have to say about that.

-

If cannibals go around eating people who are attached to life-support systems, then is 'eating vegetables' still a good thing?
Please listen to me. If I offend anyone, then I don't want you to let your frustration bottle up so you freak out one day and harm a massive amount of people. Send in letters; we in the news business love controversy. Is it going to convince me to stop writing these? No, but hey, you might as well get your voice out
there. There could be a huge uprising and you could exile me from my involvement in the paper. (But we all know that wouldn't happen because they'd have to rip
down the countless amounts of statues of me scattered around campus.) Come back in four weeks to read some more comical considerations.

Mike Porcenaluk
Opinon Editor

Daniella De Luca

And so begins the PR is for Poor Relations
month of the sloth
At the start of every spring semester, many of us have one thing on our mind.
How much longer until May?
Although the end ofthe term is still the same number ofmonths away as it has
always been (about five for those who are counting), we still get frustrated, overwhelmed and sometimes even reach the point ofrecklessness.
As spring break approaches, we just want to focus on resting and recuperating
from the never-ending winter that is typical of central Pennsylvania. The furthest
thing from our minds is our next exam, the massiveresearch paper or ultimate final
,
project that is waiting for us.
Flip flops have once again made their appearance as well as boys in shorts and
t-shirts in 40 degree weather. In addition to the colds that we are going to catch,
we'll also have to worry about allergies as the pollen fills the air and that whole
outdoorsy theme happens once again. The pattern is really predictable.
People will start skipping class to play Frisbee and sunbathe on the Russell
lawn. The "beach" on the hilltop will become crowded with students seeking an
escape from the ordinary humdrum of college. Students begin to get restless in
class and a lot of yawning and sighing ensues. Homework will be a thing of the
past, and the carefree attitude will emanate from everyone as assignments are
turned in late or not at all.
Many will wonder why their grades arc slipping, forgetting the fact that they
don't do work anymore. Maybe it's time to start actually showing up to class
instead of walking in 30 minutes late. Why show up at all if you're going to be
habitually tardy?
Grabbing that smoothie from Freshens has become a top priority instead of
reading over the next chapter of your notes. A walk along the Susquehanna has
suddenly become more appealing now that the pathway isn't covered by snow and
ice and the water level isn't teeming over almost to the point offlooding the town.
They say that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. I say it
goes out more like a three-toed sloth. Slow, lazy and lacking motivation to get
through the next few months of the year. March is definitely the month of the
sloth.
There are many types of spring fever, but my personal favorite is the type that
has vacation anxiety. They are unable to take their vacation over spring break like
everyone else. Instead they'll go somewhere the week before or the week after
break claiming that they wanted to miss the rush and overcrowded beaches. I'm
sorry but once the weather gets nice, people tend to venture outdoors. The spring
break rush is unavoidable no matter when you go. You might as well go the same
time as everyone else unless of course you are uncomfortable about the way you
look in your bathing suit. In fact, the above paragraph doesn't really apply to anyone because they're probably already on their way to their vacation destination. I
mean, what do they have to worry about besides maybe graduation?
Oh, and saying you only need a "D" in the class to graduate is like saying you
don't need a parachute to go skydiving. Maybe some people are happy with that
"D," but not me. It kills your GPA, and if I'm not mistaken, in order to graduate
you need at least a 2.0. Academic probation anyone? No thank you.
To all those with spring fever, keep something in mind. We're all just as anxious to get out ofhere as you are. Do the rest of us a favor and just hang in there
for a few more weeks. No one wants to trip over your body as you soak'up the sun
on your beach towel on Russell lawn. Or, for that matter get smacked in the head
with a bright, red Frisbee.

To prove that I pay
attention
in
my
Propaganda and Public
Opinion class, I would like
to point out some missing
information from the
"LHU in the News" feature on the Lock Haven
University website.
There is no mention of

the Student Juried Art
Show in their list of happenings here at The Haven.
They should not allow
the controversy surrounding a few of the pieces in
the show to keep it from
being a legitimate event
that has been featured in
many local and area media.

W hat about the other art
students who also got their
interesting and insightful
work displayed as well?
Shouldn't they at least get
the slightest nod?
Isn't there some passage in your Spin Bible
that allows you to focus on
other aspects of an event?

A real cash crop
w
In
1

Take time to notice all of the cookie-cutter homes sprouting from the grazing fields
of bought-out farmland in the countryside. This is surely the latest cash crop.
And to think you don't have to milk them. . .

A friend ofmine made me do a double-take when I noticed
his pants rolled up like old-fashioned knickers.
"It's tube-sock Tuesday!" He exclaimed.
It certainly has a catchy name... it might just stick.
This is a new column where I will comment on something that caught my eye this week.
Feel free to send me some comments of your own. mporcena@lhup.edu

My name is Melanie
Parmenter and I am the
Helpdesk Coordinator in the
Computing and Instructional
Technology Center and am currently in charge of managing
student computer lab attendants.
I am writing in response to
the "Lock Haven computer labs
need to be consistent" article in
the February 22nd Eagle Eye.
Let me start by stating that
hours posted on the LHU webpage for the computer labs for
the Spring 2006 semester are
correct.

that computer labs
were to remain open during all
open hours posted whether a lab
attendant was present or not,
and this would continue
throughout the semester unless
problems occurred during unattended times.
I am unaware of any labs
being closed due to lack of an
available attendant, nor was
made aware that labs have been
closed early due to law enforcement officers arriving earlier
than scheduled. 1 have reaffirmed with Law Enforcement
that labs are to remain open
during all scheduled hours as
labs are in place for the benefit
of enhancing the student's full
educational experience both in
and out of the classroom.
I appreciate the author's
dedication to her education and
agree that working within a
computer lab does tend to
increase ones dedication to the
current task at hand, and apologize for any inconveniences she
and others may have experienced.
There are items that I disagree with; one being the clossemester

prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

about the war in Iraq? Hey,

But torture is something else.
When Americans start pulling
people's fingernails out with pliers and poking lighted cigarettes
into their palms, then we need to
come back to basic values. Most
people agree with this, and in a
democracy that puts the torturers
in a delicate position. They must
make sure to destroy their emails and have subordinates
who will take the fall. Because it
is impossible to keep torture
secret. It goes against the
American grain and it eats at the
conscience of even the most disciplined, and in the end the truth
will come out. It is coming out
now.
According to the leaders of
the bipartisan 9/11 Commission,
our country is practically as vulnerable today as it was on 9/10.
Our seaports arc wide open, our
airspace is not secure except for
the nation's capital, and little has

Our adventure in Iraq, at a
cost of trillions, has brought that
country to the verge ofcivil war
while earning us more enemies
than ever before. And tax money
earmarked for security is being
dumped into pork barrel projects
anywhere somebody wants their
own SWAT team. Detonation of
a nuclear bomb within our borders pick any big city is a real
possibility, as much so now as
five years ago. Meanwhile,
many Democrats have conceded

themselves

neglecting the most basic job of
government, which is to defend
this country. We might rather be

artists or flamenco dancers, but
we must attend to first things.
The peaceful lagoon that is
the White House is designed for
the comfort of a vulnerable man.
Perfectly understandable, but
not what is needed now. The
U.S. Constitution provides a

the failure to attend to the country's defense. Impeach him and

Invasion of the pod people
Dave Barry
Knight Ridder Newspapers

I imagine you will want to
call me a courageous adventurer
when I tell you how I recently
encountered an actual live whale
in person. In fact, I encountered
a group of whales, which is
called a "pod," or sometimes "a
group of whales."
F.ach winter, a large number,
or "bunch," of North Pacific
humpback whales swims all the
way down to Maui from Alaska,
a distance ofthousands ofmiles.
Why do the whales make this
difficult journey? For the same
reason that athletes compete and
actors perform and singers sing
and politicians run for high
office: They want to have sex.
There is wild whale sex going
on in the water around Maui,
accompanied by an underwater
soundtrack of cool, spacelike
whale noises, including a song
that the males sing to attract the
females. The fascinating thing
is, all the male humpback
whales sing the same song: "My
Way."
No, I'm kidding. If they sang
that, the females would deliberately beach themselves. But the
male whales really do all sing
the same song, and it changes
from time to time, and all the

males, all over the world, somehow learn the changes. (Maybe
they're on the Internet.)
Evidently, the song is effective,
because a lot of mating goes on
around Maui. Afterward, the
male whale swims off in a carefree manner, leaving the female
to be pregnant for a year, at the
end of which she gives birth, all
alone, without anesthetic, to a
baby whale the size ofa Toyota
Corolla. If, during the birth, the
male happens to swim past,
singing his song, "Mr. Stud of
the Sea," 1 bet the female gives
him a good whack with her 15foot pectoral fin.
But the real threal to whales
is whaling, which has endangered many whale species. This
is why I say to young people: If
you're ever in school or at the
mall, and somebody in your peer
group whispers to you, "Pssst...
Wanna go whaling?" you should
"just say no." Also, you should
tell your congressperson that
you favor the 30-day cooling-off
period on the purchase of harpoons. Or you can support the
Pacific Whale Foundation which
is the non-profit outfit that operates the boat that took us whalewatching.
1 will admit that I was a teensy bit nervous about boating in
whale-intensive waters, because

of my memories of "Moby
Dick," which is about Captain
Ahab, played in the movie by
Gregory Peck, who looks just
like Abraham Lincoln but with
fewer legs. Ahab wants to kill
this giant white whale, played in
the movie by Marlon Brando,
but in the end Marlon tips over
the entire boat and everybody
dies except the narrator. (In high
school, when I had to read
"Moby Dick," which is 87 million pages long, I found myself
wishing that the narrator had
also died.)
But we boldly set out on the
Pacific Whale Foundation boat,
along with about 15 other
tourists (also known as a "waistpack" of tourists) and started
looking for humpback whales.
You would think they'd be easy
to find, being as how they weigh
up to 80.000 pounds-more than
Edward Kennedy and Newt
Gingrich combined-but for a
while we didn't see anything.
And then, after almost an hour,
people started shouting, and I
looked out where they were
pointing, and 1 saw-this was one
of the most unforgettable
moments ofmy life-nothing. I'm
one of those people who, when
there's a major natural spectacle
that everybody else can see, I
can't see it. I would not have

seen Halley's comet if it had
passed through my living room.
But finally, after several anxious minutes of scanning the
ocean, 1 heard a loud whooshing
noise and saw a big puff go
shooting into the air, and suddenly there it was, in plain view:
Old Faithful!
No, it was a whale, and it
was very large. And then there
were more puffs and more
whales, forming a four-whale
pod consisting of a mother, her
baby and two male "escort"
whales who were trying to get
the female's attention, probably
sweet-talking her in whale language ("Are those barnacles
new? They look terrific!").
The whales swam slowly,
gracefully, past our boat for several minutes, surfacing, puffing,
diving, surfacing. They came
pretty close to us, but it was
never scary; it was and here I
will quote Herman Melville
very cool. We could have
watched the whales for hours,
bui before long, we had to leave.
For just as the humpbacks
would soon be returning to the
Alaskan feeding grounds
where they eat up to a ton ofraw
fish per day so did we have to
get back to the hotel for dinner.
We had sushi, but nowhere near
a ton. At least not apiece.

Men's basketball ends season with home win

mum

James Cooney
Sports Reporter
The 2005-2006 men's basketball season ended on a
high note. On Wednesday the
team lost to University of Pitt
at Johnstown 87-55, only to
rebound and upset No. 3
California University (Pa.)

82-71 on Saturday.
"This win is probably our
biggest win since the win that
put us into the playoffs in
2002-2003 season," said
Coach Wilson about the
game.
How big of a win was it?
For Coach Wilson this was his
first career win over Cal.
The win also snapped a 32
game losing streak, dating
back to the 1989-1990 season.
The opening points of the
game were scored by the
Haven's junior guard James
Chappell as he drained a
three-pointer to put the Bald
Eagles up 3-0, this would be
the last time the men would
see the lead in the first half.
Cal. scored 10 consecutive
points to put them on top 103.

Their lead was as great as
nine with eight minutes left to
play, 26-17. But the determination of the young Bald
Eagles would enable them to
tie the game up at 29-29 with
an impressive 12-3 run. Cal.

"Billy came in and played

not usual for natural freshman
to score like him. He has the
pose of an upper classmen. I
have been in the league 17
years and I have never seen a
natural freshman play as Billy
has," said coach Wilson.
Chappell has also moved
into the top 10 in three-pointers, currently standing at
ninth with one year left to
play for him.

Bill Buckenmeyer
Sports Reporter
The best season for the
women's basketball program,
in 15 years, has unfortunately
come to end. The Eagles
defeated Columbia Union
College last Wednesday but
failed in an upset bid over
California University (Pa.),
which would have propelled
them into the Pennsylvania

(PSAC) playoffs.

The

defeated
Columbia Union 80-66, which
was their third consecutive victory.

They got career games
from Shameka Lee and
Caniece Montague as they both
put up 18 points on the scoreboard. Lee, to go with her 18
points, added a career high 19
rebounds, which is currently
second all-time in LHU history
for rebounds in a single game.
Montague also grabbed five
rebounds and collected five
steals.
Senior Kristy Shadduck
also had an impressive game
notching IS points and 13
rebounds.
The Eagles battled throughout the first half, but after they
claimed the lead at 19-18, they
never looked back and did not
trail for the remainder of the
game.
The defense was once again
stellar as the Haven forced 24
turnovers, swiped 13 steals,
and blocked six shots.

Pat ttgs Ban ttie fan.
Now that the Olympics are officially over, the sports nation can now give their
to basketball.
With March Madness quickly approaching things are getting rather interesting.
This past weekend, UConn got their revenge over Viilanova, beating them 89-75,
lile highly seeded teams, Tennessee, Florida, and Michigan State, all got upset.
However, the most intriguing story from this past weekend of basketball comes
>m the NBA.
On Sunday, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 105-'

Midway through the third quarter, Garnett was charged with an offensive foul ai

He was immediately rejected, although he claimed he was justtrying to get a del
game call.
Before exiting the court, Garnett apologized to the fan.
The reason I find this story so appealing is because of the reaction of this fan.
The fan was a grown man, who was probably in his 40's, and he acted as if he wa:

After the game, it was identified the man was uninjured, and did not want to speak

Probably because he was so embarrassed by the childish way in which he reacted.
Things like this happen from time to time. When you sit in the front row of a bastball game, there is always the chance the ball may come your way, or a player or

I am glad that the Minnesota fans booed him as he got carried backstage like a helpis victim.
Garnett made an obvious mistake. The ball was not tossed hard at all and was

"Final Destination 3" should
give you the same amount of
feelings you had for the first or
second one.
If you liked the first and second movie you will like this
one, but if you did not like the
first two then don't waste your
time with
The plot is the very much
the same and even if you missed
the first two movies you could
still go see this one worry-free
thanks to the recap of "death's
design."
What will happen to the students is the onlyreal connection
with the series of movies.
I am a fan of the first two
movies and l liked being able to
guess the next thing that would
occur but if that's not your style,
you might want to spend your
money on something else.

The beginning of the movie
is intense for theme park goers
or even more intense for those
already scared of them. This
part of the movie will make you
think twice before going on a
roller coaster.

This movie incorporates a
lot of modern things that older
students would do which attributes to its freak-out factor.
The way that people start to
die is more than a freak accident. You may even think twice
before you step in a tanning
salon.

Who would have thought
that besides being bad for your
diet going through the drivethru could cost you your life?
Team sport players, did you
think that working out could kill
you?
I'm also sure you have heard
about things going wrong during firework displays.
Isn't the white horse in

movies supposed to save the
day?
Either way all of these
things are just a taste of what
you never think about happening during these daily activities.
What would you do if you
knew you were in line to die?
If death can skip you but it
will eventually come back
around, then would you run
from death your whole life?
Is it worth trying to have
death skip if it always returns?
The end of the movie looks
as if there will be a fourth
movie.
Some may say that this is
getting old.
It's a movie with the saine
plot, but only with different
characters dying in different situations.
"Final Destination 3" is like
detective work and it's not the
same exact situations so it
leaves you in suspense.

of this tugboat to pull the whole
album along, this may help to
explain why the band may not
captivate many audiences in the
near future.
The sporadic arrangements
are catchy until the electronic
back beats begin to overshadow
the rest of the instrumental layout.
As is popular for many
artists today, reasons why still
unknown to most. Claret's voice
sounds as if she were screaming
through a megaphone at times.
Rather than grabbing attention,
like most at the helm ofa megaphone do. Claret nags at the
eardrums inflicting an uneasy
feeling.
Pedro Yanowitz tactfully
meanders about with his bass,
creating fairly enjoyable rumblings, but his backup vocals
add nothing to the overall
sound.
Even though the band may
not see any mainstream success,
there is the possibility of them
being featured on one of the
many angst ridden teen melodrama soundtracks that are
annoyingly popular today.
Ultimately. Morningwood
fails to rise to the occasion.

According
Walters, president of the GSA,
the ally network was formed so
students could go outside of
their peer group to find support.
"I want to be sure that the
definition ofan ally is based on

understanding,

education, awareness, and the
support of the Lock Haven

University

Gay-Straight

Alliance," said Walters, who is
in her second semester as president. "Faculty allies are important to

the student body because

they show the students that there

is safety and support on campus
not only among their peers, but
by the faculty and staff that
some of us admire and look to
for guidance."
Dr. Erin Kennedy, a psychology professor at Lock Haven,
echoes Walter's comments.
"The needs of students have
always been of the greatest
importance to mc," said
Kennedy. "Should a student be
struggling with their own sexual
identity, it can make dealing
with the rigors of college more
difficult. I want to show my
support for those students, as
well as my solidarity with stu-

dents who are out and proud."
Having support from faculty
can be a weight offof some student's minds who may feel
trapped by not having an adult to
talk to.
Dr. Howard Congdon, a
Communications
and
Philosophy professor, says that
talking to an adult is more helpful than talking to a peer because
of the judgments that peers can
pass onto one another.
"It's about basic fairness.
I'm weary of self-righteous
demagogues making ignorant
judgments about matters they
don't understand."
Congdon also points out that
passing judgment on people
before getting to know them is
not the way to be.
"It's a big, wide, wonderful,
mysterious, and diverse world
out there. Get to know it, and
learn to appreciate it," said
Congdon.

Dr. Kimberly Adams talks about having women
as role models and leaders in the community in
the Hall of Flags on Monday.
tant trait that a woman leader
Melissa Trentadue
should possess.
Staff Reporter
"Be knowledgeable, but not

Walking into the Hall of
Flags this past Monday afternoon, Dr. Kimberly Adams certainly struck the attention of
eager students ready to listen to
her speak on women's leadership in the United States.
I Lock Haven student, junior,
Crystal A. Lee invited Adams to
Tcome to Lock Haven to speak
• about leadership after attending
•a Women's Leadership Institute
; this past summer.
; "My biggest motivation after
; attending the Institute was to
', form a goal and bring women
into leadership roles. By bringing them into that role, women
can better the world." Lee said,
smiling gracefully. "Dr. Adams
inspired me when I had her as a
professor, and when I was at the
institute, 1 thought ofher and her
expertise that she has in this
field."
As Adams glanced around
the room before she began her
motivational speech, she made
note of students who she has
taught before, when she was a
professor here over the past few
years.
"Our future depends on the
leadership of women to help
with decisions and to share the
power between men and
women," said Adams.
Throughout her speech,
Adam's main purpose was that
women should feel confident in
sharing power roles with men.
To encourage women to
become involved in leadership
activities, Adams spoke about
political issues, and the lack of
women involved in the United
States government.
"Women have made a considerable amount of progress in
Congress but they still have a
long way to go," Adams said
during her speech.
To help motivate young
women to become involved in
leadership activities as they
move on with their career,
Adams offered her own personal advice to the audience.
"First and foremost, believe
in yourself and know your self
worth. You need to abandon the
fallacy that just because you are
a woman you are different and
less important. Being different
does not mean you are less,"
Adams said.
Adams also expressed that
thinking for oneself and knowing key issues is also an impor-

so knowledgeable that you can-

hear people's wishes and
desires. Make decisions that you
believe in, and stick by them,"
Adams said.
She also told the audience to
abandon the cultural roles that
women should only be placed in
pink collar roles, meaning they
should solely be caregivers. She
mentioned that most importantly, women need to garner support from other women in order
to succeed in leadership roles.
Adams influenced women to
stand up for themselves at all
times and reminded women that
they do not have to have a title
as a leader in order to be one.
"Stand up for yourself at
work or even at the dinner table,
write letters to congress and
motivate other women to do the
same." Adams said.
She also emphasized the fact
that women need to have a role
model in order to be a successful
leader. However, the leader
doesn't have to be someone in
the spotlight; it can be a professor, mother or mentor.
"Women can find role models through life experience, by
being around individuals who
are leaders. The institute of
higher learning, such as different universities, is a great place
to find a role model," Adams
said. "Identify yourself with one
role model and learn from that
person."
Adams is currently a
Visiting Assistant Professor of
Political Science at Roger
Williams University in Rhode
Island,
and is also a
Commonwealth Speaker for the
Pennsylvania
Humanities
not

Adams's areas of teaching
include American national government, women and politics,
race and ethnicity in American
politics, constitutional law and
Congress and the Presidency.
Adams is a long time political
activist and youth leader. She
worked as an intern in Capitol
Hill in two Congressional
offices in the mid 1990's.
"Dr. Adams is such a wonderful mentor to have and someone so great to look up to," junior Jenny Charney said. "Just
listening to her speech and
knowing the things she has done
in the past makes her such an
inspirational woman for all individuals to admire."

Despite controversy, art show goes on
Sara Gerber

Despite the controversy surrounding two specific works of
art, the Juried Student Art Show
last Wednesday night went on as
planned.
The works were judged by
three professional artists, Mike

Seber works in printmaking,

Sand, is "considered one of
Norway's most famous living
