The King and Queen ofthe
University have been chosen.
During the Homecoming football game at half-time,
President Miller announced
the winners: Jaivon A. Lewis
and Shara Denise Ruffin. The
couple was chosen by the student body through a series of
voting rounds.
"I felt this year somebody
with leadership should represent the campus and represent
the student body," Ruffin said.
During the past two years
Ruffin has attended Lock
Haven she realized the pattern
of Homecoming winners.
"Everyone chosen so far
has been a student leader, connected with students, and was
open minded. It was not based
on popularity," said Ruffin.
In the past Ruffin was Adhoc committee chairmen and
focused on the safety issue of
campus lighting. She hopes
that now as Queen she can
continue to focus on campus

Lewis, meanwhile, hopes

to strive to make LHU a more
diverse campus. Also, according to Lewis, he would like to
promote attendance to campus
events as well as having
school spirit.
The only role the King and

Brandy Rissmiller
Staff Reporter
Whether it is for a summer
job, internship or entry-level
position, interviews are an
essential part of the job hunt.
On Tuesday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m.,
Joan Welker, the Director of
Career Services, will be holding a workshop titled,
"Interviewing to Win." The
presentation will be held in
Ulmer 201.
In a job interview, prospective employers are looking for
the answer to one question,
"Why should I hire you?"
Your role, as a job seeker, is to
convince the employer that
you can fill a particular need
or vacancy. At the same time
you should be trying to decide
whether to accept the position
if it is offered.
There are three steps to be
well prepared for interviews.
The first step is to know yourself. This is achieved by analyzing your strengths and
weaknesses, your background
and academic performance
and your personal aspirations
and values.
The second step is to know
the organization. Learn as
much as you can about the
company or school district.
Find out all you can about the
position for which you are
applying. Another important
hint is to know beforehand
what questions you want to
ask the interviewer.
Projecting a professional
image is the third and final
preparation step. Dressing
appropriately and emphasizing

the positive are key factors of
achieving this final part of the
perfect interview. It is vital to
be assertive while answering
questions and projecting selfconfidence.
"Think of the interview as
simply a conversation between
two people," advises Hannah
Thompson, a Peer Career
Facilitator for Career Services.
Thompson says it is important
to remember to relax during
the process.
The four stages of interviewing are the reception,
information exchange, "your
turn" and the closing. The
reception is the first stage and

it occurs when you meet the
interviewer and during which
the interviewer usually forms
a first impression.
The second stage is when
the employer may talk about
the organization and job. The
interviewer will ask questions
to determine if you are qualified for the occupation and if
you will fit into the overall
organization.
During "your turn" you
have the opportunity to ask
questions. Ask questions with
detail, but avoid ones that
regard salary. Money related
questions may be asked at a
later time if a job offer has

been made.
During the final stage the
employer indicates the interview is over and when and
how you will be informed
about the outcome. If the
information is not offered,
then it is your responsibility to
ask what the next step is in the
procedure.
After the interview it is
essential to send a follow-up
letter. It reminds the interviewer of your qualifications and
interest in the job. It also
leaves a very good impression
and could be the one factor
that makes you stand out from
the crowd.

ROTC guest writer
Like all ROTC cadets after
their junior year of college,
Louis Kohl and myself, Chad
Pilker, attended the Leader
Development and Assessment
Course (LDAC) located at Ft.
Lewis, Wash.
However, at the completion of the course, we were
privileged enough to attend
follow-on training called
"Cadet
Troop
Leading
Training" or CTLT.
CTLT is a three week long
experience in which cadet's

1st Brigade
Regiment,
Combat Team (BCT), 82nd
Airborne Division in Ft.
Bragg, North Carolina. Both
of us had to first complete
LDAC and be Airborne-qualified to receive this slot.
Kohl was stationed with

the 2nd platoon from the 23rd
Military Police Company.
During his time at the 23rd,
they were preparing for their
fall deployment.
He spent three days out in
the field where he practiced
various scenarios that they
might encounter while on
deployment in Iraq. Kohl was
given the chance to lead one of
these scenarios, and was put in
charge of 2nd platoon consisting for 42 soldiers and 7 military HMMWV's.
Also, he was able to familiarize himself with the various
weapon systems used by the
Military Police. Kohl also had
the opportunity to train with
military polices' SRT unit
(Special Reaction Team) and
Special Forces.

was made aware of the construction problem before coming to the university.
"(The student's) family

been a problem concerning

Bentley, there is most likely
going to be a temporary inconvenience to all students attending the campus.
"There are many students
conscious of the activities of

"But until Bentley is finished,
students should take better

With many different clubs
and organizations for minorities, such as The Distinguished
Gentlemen, Lock Haven is
becoming more diverse.
Distinguished
The
Gentlemen was founded on
Nov. 5, 1997 by Doug Oliver,
Maurice Pittman, Jaime
Patton, and Eric Holmes.
To belong to the organization, members have to prove
they meet the description of
the title.
"To be a Distinguished
Gentlemen you have to be a
distinguished gentlemen someone who stands out in the
crowd and you have to show
up to our meetings," said
Jaivon Lewis, a member of the
Distinguished Gentlemen.
Since their start in 1997,
the Distinguished Gentlemen
have acquired many new
members and created new programs. One of which is a
scholarship program for new
freshmen.
The
Distinguished
Gentlemen is an active club
which organizes and carries
out many activities on campus.

Currently
Lyrically
Speaking is drafting a constitution and is hopeful they will
be approved by the SCC by the
end ofthe semester.
Aside from the weekly
meetings, the group has several plans for this semester tfnd
beyond. On Nov. 7, Lyrically
Speaking will be hosting an
Open Mic Night in the PUB at
7:30. The group's members
are being encouraged to perform, but the stage will be
open to anyone who would
like to perform. The following
month on Dec. 7, Lyrically

Speaking will be hosting a performance in Sloan Hall. This
performance will feature original poetry by members as
well as a Def Poet from Def
Poetry Jam. Next Semester the
group will be traveling to New

York City to experience a
night of live spoken-word
poetry, at a yet to be determined club. In the future the
members
of
Lyrically
Speaking will also be traveling
to Loganton, Pa. for a performance. They will be performing at the Sugar Valley
Rural Charter School.
Both Jenkins and Cannady
expressed the high level of talent and creativity that the
members of Lyrically speaking posses.
"I've encountered more
creative people in this group
than I have in a long while,"
said Jenkins.

The primary goal of The
Distinguished Gentlemen is to
become members of Kappa
Alpha Psi Fraternity although
the gentlemen also help to
unite African American men
on campus and help them to be
seen positively on campus and
in the community.
"The
Distinguished
Gentlemen help diversity on
campus because the organization is open to everyone and
we offer activities that everyone can relate to," said Lewis.
The
Distinguished
Gentlemen also try to help
make the incoming freshmen
more comfortable.
"We are to have higher
expectations and hope to
achieve leadership and brotherhood for all males on campus," said Dave Sylvain,
President ofThe Distinguished
Gentlemen for the upcoming
year.

Science and religion share common goal
Chris Hoskavich
Guest Columnist
The United States was
founded on both secular and
Throughout its existence,
it has served as fertile ground
for scientific development as
well as for ethics derived
largely from religious tenets.
That is why I am disturbed
by the increasing animosity
between religion and science.
The intensity of this conflict is a relatively new phenomenon. History shows that
these two disciplines cannot
only coexist peacefully, but

Western civilization developed as rapidly as it did during the Industrial Revolution
because of Protestantism and
an increase in technological
So, why now are elements
in both fields insistent on
rejecting the legitimacy of the
other? The answer may lie
more in politics than in doctrine.
It is important to recognize
where alliances lie in this
struggle. It is essentially a battle of wills between fringe elements: the Christian far-right
and the secular far-left.
Both have conflicting
agendas and both would benefit from destabilizing the public's confidence in the other.

Appealing to these traits,
particularly in a time in which
we are dependent on scientific
advancements on a daily
basis, could prove the perfect
method for marginalizing an
institution based primarily on
faith.

Unfortunately,
could prove to be a casualty in
this battle of extremes.
In response to the far-left's
manipulation of science, an
increasing number of conservative Christian leaders are
promoting the idea that scientific evidence is irrelevant in

said, "It is obvious even in the
Bible that this is a theological
framework and is not intended
simply to recount the history
of creation."
In this example, we can
see the difference between the
value ofreligion and the value
of science.
Religion helps us deal
with our relationship with our
Creator and our own nature.
Science uses observable evidence to help us understand
how our world functions.
We must recognize this
distinction and understand
that religion and science share
a fundamental goal: the betterment of mankind.
Further, the values at the

at the core of science depend
on one another.
A religious teaching that
ignores scientific fact is simply a myth and will soon find
itself obsolete.
'Science that is applied

human nature, or that attempts
to answer metaphysical questions that are outside of its
field of study, is an abomination.
If we appreciate the intrinsic value of both, we can separate them from politics and
allow them to flourish sideby-side as they have for centuries.
In this way, we can work
toward an enlightened, ethical
and prosperous future.

Clinton 'incompetent' on national defense
Jason Hackney
Guest Columnist
We finally found out what
Clinton was really all about in

the last couple of weeks. He
isn't just "Bubba," but another
raving lying liberal lunatic.
Won't this man ever give
up the limelight he desires so
much? I almost laughed
myself to death watching him
throw a tantrum during an
interview with Fox News'
Chris Wallace.
He actually tried to convey
he was strong on National
Defense. This, however, as
most level-headed people
know, is not true.
He claimed in the interview that those "conservative
republicans" thought he was
"too obsessed" with Osama
bin Laden when he bombed
spots
terrorist
hot
in
Afghanistan and Sudan.
Well, back here in reality
the Washington Post in the
August 21, 1998 edition had
both then Speaker of the
House Newt Gingrich and
majority leader in the U.S.
Senate on record of supporting

President Clinton.
So are those two not representative ofthe "conservative"
wing ofthe Republican party?
Clinton must not have read
that issue, since it wasn't
delivered under his desk.
In his circus-like interview,
Billy told the public that
Osama bin Laden was not
even known of in 1993. Of
course we can believe he didn't know this since he was
locked in the Oval Office
working
many of nights
maybe.
National Security Advisor
Anthony Lake said Clinton
knew of bin Laden due to the
first World Trade Center
bombing and then was later
briefed again on bin Laden
later in 1993.
Not only did the national
security advisor talk with
Clinton about this, but also
Rep. Bill McCollum (R, FL),
the founder and chairman of
the House Taskforce on
Terrorism and Unconventional
Warfare.
He sent numerous writings
to President Clinton that
warned him of Osama bin
Laden and Islamic terrorists.
Rep. McCollum established

Afghanistan mujihedeen that
he tapped as sources in these
many

sources

So what about Clinton trying so hard to capture Osama
bin Laden? Did he? What do
you think I am going to say?
No, contrary to liberal belief.
In 1996, according to the
9/11 commission, the CIA
received information about
Osama bin Laden leaving
Sudan.
We did not pursue him
because
Because
why?
Clinton said, "At the time, in
1996, he had committed no
crimes against America, so 1
did not bring him here because
we had no basis on which to
hold him, though we knew he
wanted to commit crimes
against America (Vanity Fair
6/04)". Way to go. You get an
A for effort!
So now you may know
why our most incompetent
president on national defense
was so mad. He was backed
into a corner and he did not
feel very comfortable about it.
He lashed out at Fox News
and Chris Wallace for doing
the conservative bidding.
Note, this is usually the

response you get from a liberal who
not agree with
something on Fox News.
It is almost like the poor
man a couple weeks ago in the
opinion section saying that
MSNBC was biased. I guess
that means all other sources of
news besides cable television
aren't biased.
I mean look at the bang up
job the Reuters photographer
did with the photos out of
Lebanon.
The point is, attacking
someone else's sources without addressing truthfully the
main idea of the argument is
faulty. This is what Bill
Clinton did, and that's why
loony liberals cheered when
he "called out Fox News'
bias".
If you take a gander at the
work most liberal writers did
on this interview, you will find
a pride they took when Clinton
blew up on Fox News, not the
factual truth of Clinton being
another example of liberals
failing to do theright things on
national defense.
Don't look too long
though, the idiocy you see
might blind you.

One reason they are more
likely to stay is that our stateowned universities enroll a
much higher percentage of
Pennsylvania citizens.
Several years ago, the
PASSHE Board of Governors
mandated our state-owned
universities to limit out-ofstate admissions to approximately 10%.
That limit was instituted to
avoid using state tax dollars to
subsidize the education of
out-of-state students.
In contrast, private institutions in the commonwealth
average 39% out-of-state students.
Thus through PHEAA,
our state tax-dollars end up
subsidizing the education of
many more out-of-state students than if those resources
were directed toward our
state-owned universities.
We should re-examine the
wisdom of investing so much
of our tax dollars ($212 million in state grants alone) to
support private universities
while we rank 48th in affordability of four-year public
institutions.
We should also re-examine that wisdom when we
can't always see how those

funds are spent and cannot
hold those institutions directly
accountable.
The notion of giving our
citizens a "choice" though
PHEAA grants seems like an
attractive idea.
However, that is a false
choice when the legislature
simultaneously makes the
state-owned universities less
affordable through insufficient appropriations.
Spending less state tax
dollars on private institutions
is just one way to address the
issue.
Our first priority should be
investing more in our stateowned university system to
provide higher education
Pennsylvania citizens which

Bentley must improve
food service this year
for sake of students
Kenneth Dawson
Guest Writer
Besides the Eagle Rock
Cafe at the PUB, Bentley Hall
is the only dining service
available to LHU students on
campus.
With numerous new students attending the university,
the standards should be set
much higher than the reports
that have been coming in.
Last week I personally
experienced Bentley at its
worst. 1 was sitting with two
of my friends when I noticed
something that felt like chicken gristle in my mouth.
I figured it to be normal,
however, due to the fact that I
was eating a chicken cheese
steak.
Minutes went by and I still
tasted it. When I went to pull it
out, I was surprised and disgusted to find that it was a
long black hair.
The very next day I was
shocked again to find it in my
salad.
"I've heard plenty about
finding workers' hair in
Bentley's food. It's never happened to me, but I watch them
day in and day out handling
food without the proper measures," sophomore Steven
Clister explained to me.
As if the hair wasn't
enough, I also had a problem
with the management. On

Friday, Oct. 13, I walked into
Bentley expecting to get a
good meal before I went out.
When I got up to the register
my card did not scan, nor were
the numbers able to be
punched in.
When the manager came
he explained that my only
option was to pay in cash. I
tried to explain to him that I
have a Bentley Hall meal plan
so 1 don't have to carry cash.
Regardless, 1 was denied a
meal. Unfortunately, I let my
anger get the best of me and
gave the manager a real piece
of my mind.
Tiberia,
Filippo

at
Manager
Bentley, explained to me that
if any incident like that were
to happen again, he is to give
the student a card for the dining hall upstairs - kind of like
a free pass.
I have always loved
Bentley's food and service
until this year. In my opinion,
I just think that the whole staff
is slacking due to the immense
increase in student population
this year.
I am not ready to give up
on Bentley yet, however, it's
only the second month and 1
still have $77 left in flex
money.
With the winter months
just around the corner, Bentley
has to bulk up the service to
keep us students healthy and
happy.

Four international faculty
members from three different
continents are currently serving
Lock Haven University language classes and international
students. All of them are calling
the International House on campus their home for now,
although it is different from
their home countries.
Hu Qi from Tian Jin. China
is a teacher recruited from
Yaohua High School to assist 14
of her students pursuing fouryear degrees at the university.
As an English teacher, she said
she has been working on further
developing her English skills
while she is here, but has been
using the language for ten years.
"I really like Lock Haven
very much. It is quiet andpeaceful, and the people are very
friendly," Qi said. Getting along
with her new housemates hasn't
been a problem for her, and she
has enjoyed the dinners and
recipes that they have shared.
She notices many differences between Lock Haven and
her home near Beijing including
the way people dress and preshousehold
ent themselves,
appliances like dishwashers,
and size of living space to name
a few.
"It is different from my city
full of people. Here, you can
smell the forest and be very
close to nature," she said, mentioning her apartment living situation in China, twenty stories
high.
In her spare time, Qi enjoys
reading, talking with students,
spending time with friends and
watching international news on
TV. "1 would like to introduce a
part ofChina to America while I
am here."
Also eager to introduce their
culture to students studying
abroad is Youness Mountaki
from Casablanca, Morocco. He
is one of two Fulbright Scholars
of the Institute of International
Education at the university this
year, and is enjoying his time in
Lock Haven so far.
"I will be teaching students
interested in going to Morocco:
Moroccan Arabic,
Arabic
Language and Moroccan cul-

ture. There are fewer

universi-

ties in Morocco than there are
here." Most studying is done
through host families instead of
schools, he added.
When he's not assisting the
International Office, Mountaki
enjoys playing soccer, taking
pictures and spending time
researching on the internet. He
has also tried his hand at cooking, a task usually reserved for
women in his culture.
The biggest differences he

notices between Pennsylvania
and his country are in the weather, meal times, one generic language (English), and other traditions like Ramadan, which is
not as widely practiced. He said
he doesn't mind the differences
though because he has felt welcome from the moment he got
here.
"Everyone here has been
very good to me. It's small, but
the people are friendly and hospitable."
The second Fulbright
Scholar of the Institute of
International Education is
Daniela Ribitsch from Graz,
Austria. This year, she is a language teaching assistant in
German 1 and 3 with Dr.
Charles Hayes.
She says her hometown is
slightly larger than Lock Haven
so this location isn't so different
for her to adjust to.
"It's more of the little things
notice
that are different," she
I
said. "Like the way you lock the
door or turn a faucet on or off."
Classes in Austria only meet
once a week, so adjusting to
class every day is something
Ribitsch had to acclimate herself to. She has busied herself
helping out around the classroom, grading tests and taking
time reading with a small
German group twice a week for
those who want to further
explore the German language.
The World Axis Club is also
something she has joined, meeting once a week discussing
world topics and affairs.
"We don't have many clubs
like this at home, so I am happy
to meet new people and talk
about new things."
Although not keen on playing sports, she does enjoy
watching soccer and ski jumping. Walking and reading are

of her favorite pastimes.
Also representing Europe
this year is Bernardino Vernanzi
from Rome, Italy. He will be
teaching Italian 1 this semester
on Lock Haven's campus and
Italian 2 online from Cassino
University in partnership with
LHU's exchange program in
Italy next semester.
Vernanzi has been embracing the quietness of the area,

Susquehanna
campus sites.
He keeps active and knowledgeable by running, reading
and traveling. Vernanzi admits
to being a traveler at heart. "You
can grow and learn so many
things. When you travel, you
feel so very alive, and all of
your senses are open," he said.
After visiting Ethiopia. Kenya,
Uganda and Tanzania in Africa
and teaching for two years in
Turkey, he is accustomed to different educational situations,
although the United States surprises him.
"In Italy, the teachers are the
center of the educational system. Here, the students are at the
center (of the university) with
many services available to
them. In Italy, that is not comtwo

mon."
Adjusting to time is something he had to adapt to while
here. "We have dinner much
later, around 9 p.m. and punctuality is different because you
can arrive much later than you
say you will."
Vernanzi said he feels welcome and his housemates are all
getting along very well. "Even
though we are all from different
places, it is still okay," he said.
The Fulbright and student
exchange programs are offering
an exchange between universities and facilitates student and
faculty from around the world.
Director of the Institute for
International Studies
Dan
Roberts is optimistic for the

opportunities teaching
learning abroad offer.

and

"It offers a comparative perspective on the world, and students are able to have a comparative perspective on the world
and process all the things they
learned at the university in an
international context," he said.

Musically gifted student youngest in Williamsport Orchestra
Jenny Charney
Guest Writer
Despite her young age and
short stature, Caitlin Hagy has
never had a problem with being
heard.
Hagy, a senior majoring in
International Studies with a
music minor, recently became
one of the newest and youngest
members of the Williamsport
Symphony Orchestra.
When she was nine years
old, Hagy attended a concert
and immediately fell in love
with the violin. With cheerleading and dance already on her
plate, she had to work persistently on her parents until they
allowed her to pick up another
hobby.
At the age of 12, she auditioned for the prestigious
Pennsylvania Academy of
Music. Because of her skill and
potential, she was accepted and
awarded a scholarship. For a
small town girl, Hagy was

proud of her accomplishment
against the odds.
"1 was a country girl
brought into the city from parents that didn't have any musical background, and I was playing with rich kids that have had
an instrument in their hands
since they were in diapers," she

She attended the academy
until her sophomore year in
high school. She then took private lessons from a member of
the Lancaster Symphony, Sally
Hart, who was well traveled in
the music world and played
alongside many famous musi-

cians.
Hagy also provided lessons
to her peers as a side job.

Her talent of playing the
violin helped her win the Miss
Solanco Scholarship Pageant in
Lancaster County in 2003. As
part of her duties, she played at
various community events.
"My violin has opened so
many doors for me and allowed
me to meet so many nice people. It has given me many great
opportunities," she said.
After high school, she
Chester
West
attended
University. While attending, she

participated in two symphonies,
including the Wilmington,
Delaware Symphony.
Now a member of the Lock
Haven orchestra and a performer in the annual student
recitals, Hagy has made her
presence known all over the
state, as well as south of the border.

Through the Study Abroad
program she was able to travel
to Mexico in the spring of 2005,

where she performed in two student recitals.
"The people appreciated the
music so much and they offered
me a job in an orchestra after
hearing me play," she said.
Throughout her lifelong
musical journey, Hagy has
acquired many famous inspirations, such as classical musicians Josh Bell and Vanessa
Mae, who mix classical, jazz
and pop to create interesting
pieces.
From the beginning, however, Hagy possessed some not-so
famous role models as well.
"My parents are my biggest
supporters, as well as my
biggest fans. I would not be
where I am today without them
behind me and my decisions,"

she said.
Motivation and time management also play a key role in
Hagy's success. Finding time to
practice is important, especially
when juggling a busy school
schedule, and two part-time

"1 strive to dedicate at least
45 minutes daily, although
sometimes I practice more or
less, depending on my schedule," she said.
As the youngest member of
the Williamsport Symphony
Orchestra, she feels the pressure.

Caitlin Hagy poses with her instruments. She is currently the
youngest member of the Williamsport Orchestra. "
"It's strange to look around
and see so many people that are
older than me, sitting right next
to me. In the end it doesn't matter because you're all there for
the same reason: the music,"
Hagy said.
The violin became a part of
her life very early and her passion will continue to grow.

according to Hagy.
"I'll always play no matter
what. It was such an enriching
part of my childhood and has
become an incredibly positive

-**^riS^2^^^^*, *,

After a valiant effort the
football team fell just short to
Shippensburg, 20-17, in an
overtime thriller at Hubert
Jack Stadium this past
Saturday.

The Bald Eagles defense
wasted no time by intercepting a Red Raiders pass and
bringing it back to midfield.
After failing to get it into the
end zone, freshman kicker
Mark Domonkos punched in
a 39-yard field goal to give
Lock Haven the early 3-0
edge. That is how the first
quarter would conclude, as
this game was looking to be
quite a defensive struggle.
Shippensburg would not
go away without a fight
though. On their second drive
of the second quarter, the
LHU defense was nowhere to
be found as running back
Chris Infante ran 50 yards for
the score, which made it 7-3.

"We successfully pumped
ourselves back up from a
tough five game loss from
Shippensburg and played as a
team to defeat West Chester,"
said the freshman middle hitter. "We all decided that we
weren't going to walk out of
there with another loss."
Senior Maggie Borden
agrees with Windstein to an
extent, but says that when it
was time to play West Chester,
the team knew they had to forget the loss and focus on the
upcoming match.
The Lady Eagles fell to
Shippensburg University in a
five match battle, 30-22, 2730, 30-20, 24-30 and 13-15.
Inga Kurgonaite, a junior

for thirty kills and three service aces a piece. Borden also

Next up for Lock Haven
are two home PSAC West
matches. Borden says the
goals for the upcoming matches are to treat every team the
same.

"It's the end of the season
and all the teams are getting a
little tired and worn out, so we
have to make sure we stay at
the top ofour game because as
seen from the past weekend,
all it takes is one slip and we
walk away with a loss."
Head Coach Tom Justice's
goals for the upcoming matches are to finish the season with

a winning streak.
"I think if we can do that,
we can be prepared for postseason play. It will not be easy.
Our conference is very deep in
talent, and all of the teams are
well coached," said Coach
Justice.
On Saturday, Oct. 21 at 4
p.m. the Lady Eagles will
compete against Clarion
University. Tuesday, Oct. 24
the team will play California
University (Pa.) at 7 p.m.
Tuesday night also marks
Senior Night for the Lady
Eagles.
Coach Justice is looking
forward to having the opportunity to honor the seniors.
"At the same time as I look
forward to honoring them, I
know how much I will miss
them when they graduate. So I
have mixed feelings. I will be
sad to see them leave Lock
Haven, but 1 will be very
happy for them to see them
graduate and move on to productive careers."
The seniors on the team
are Mayumi Ishihara, Maggie
Borden, Larissa Goldoni and
Li YiZhi.

Sorry to all the New \ork Mets and St.
Louis Cardinals' fans, but the Detroit Tigers
will win the World Series this year, regardless
of who comes out of the National League.
The Detroit Tigers, the same Tigers that
lost 119 games only three years ago, will be
champions ofthe baseball world, and here are
the top five reasons why.
Reason number one. The Tigers have a
better pitching rotation and bullpen than both
the Cardinals and Mets.
So far in the playoffs, Kenny Rogers is 2-0
and
with a 0.00 earned run average
Jeremy Bondennan is 1-0 with a 3 00 ERA.
Although Nate Robertson and Justin Verlander
both have an ERA of 5.91, both pitchers have
earned a victory and have kept the Tigers in
position to wiri the ballgame, which they have
done in all but one occasion.
Coming out of the pen, Fernando Rodney
has pitched three and two-thirds scoreless
innings, while closer Tocjd Jones has pitched
five scoreless innings and has earned three
saves. Also, relief pitchers Wilfredo Ledezma
and Jamie Walker have each earned a victory.

When game one gets underway this
Saturday, the Tigers will have had an entire
week off to rest and prepare for the World
Series. Depending on if the Mets and
Cardinals go six or seven games; they will
only have three, or possibly two days of rest.
This will be more crucial to the Mets seeing
they are one of the oldest teams in baseball.
While the Mets and Cardinals are playing a
hard-fought tight series, the Tigers will be getting ready for the World Series.
Reason number three. The Tigers are on
fire right now.

New technology allows public to tune into LHU sporting events
Scott Kemps
Guest Reporter
Lock Haven University
sports fans and parents of
athletes not being able to
watch their favorite sports
teams and children from here
in Lock Haven or far away
lands is now a thing of the
past.
At the beginning of the
2006 faU sports season. Lock
Haven University Sports
Information Director, Al
Weston, along with Student
Director
of
Athletic
Broadcasting, Tim Leister
teamed up to unveil the
exciting plan of the live
broadcasting of Lock Haven
University sporting events.
The plan of web-casting live
sporting events is nothing
new for some athletic teams
here at the Haven. Lock
Haven's wrestling team was
the only sport who had every
home match web-casted live
over the internet through the
universities web-site last

season. However, this is the
first year that all home volleyball, men's and women's
soccer games, as well as
field hockey contests have
been broadcasted. Football is
the only sport to have both
home and away contests
broadcasted live. There is
also a possibility that
wrestling will be broadcasted in home and away contests, as well as away PSAC
playoff contests and beyond.
"Our plan is to have the
entire main campus athletic
facilities ready to go for live
web-casting by homecoming," said Weston. "This
means all sports will be
capable of being web-casted
except baseball, which at
this time will only allow us
to provide audio play-byplay. This is because of the
fact that home games are
played at our West Branch
Complex, and at this point in
time having a camera there
isn't feasible."
Still in its beginning
stages, the plan has received
good reviews from many

fans as well as parents of

A Day in the Life of:
A Professor
Jessa Hoover

Features Editor
hat would it be like to
stay at college for the rest of
your life? As fun as it may be
at times, the majority of us are
hoping to get out ofhere some
day. However, not everyone
does decide to leave. Some
choose to stay and teach
young ruffians like us.
The question is, what
exactly do these people do and
why do they do it? What does
it mean to be a professor?
Using my sweet investigating skills, I decided to get to
the bottom of these plaguing
questions for all of you. You
can thank me later. For now. 1
want to share with you a small
sampling, but nonetheless
revealing snapshot, into the
professional life of one of our
very own, Dr. Robert Myers,
chair
of the English
Department, and help you to
sort through the pestering
uncertainties of this profession.
Myers shared his agenda
for Oct. 11, 2006. which he
judged to be a fairly typical
day. The alarm went off at 6
a.m. and he was in his university office by 7:30 a.m., ready
to begin wading through
papers
and
emails.
Throughout the day, he would
receive 68 emails, respond to
20 of them, and send out an
additional 13 unrelated emails.
Grading papers is another
time-consuming task. From
the time he arrived until his
first class at II a.m., Myers
graded papers and prepared
for two back-to-back classes.
Then from 1:30 to 3 p.m., he
Spent another hour and a half
grading papers.
"In a class of 40 students,
it takes me about 15-20 hours
to grade papers. I usually turn
them over in a week, so I try to
do about five a day," Myers
said.
Because of Myers' administrative role, he spent 3:10 to
4 p.m. observing one ofthe 16
faculty members that he is
designated to observe. Myers
also attends 12 committee
meetings a month, one of
which he attended at 4:30 p.m.
and one at 6 p.m. on this particular Wednesday. However,
most days, Myers is able to
leave the university between 3
p.m. and 5 p.m.
"The academic life is
bursts ofactivity," Myers said.
"October brings a lot of faculevaluations and
in
ty
November I advise about 20
majors."
Another part of his job is
helping to construct the schedule, which involves asking the
rest of the English professors
when they would like to teac h;
the majority of them get to
choose their hours, provided
there is a classroom available
during that time slot.
However, there is a flipside to the added responsibilities of being a department
chair: Myers is only required
to teach two classes, as
opposed to the usual four.
Although Myers is tenured
and published a lot early in his
career, professors who are not
to that point are required to
publish something every year,
whether it is getting an article
accepted or reading a paper at
a conference.
"Finding the time to write
is really hard," Myers said.
"A lot of people turn down
summer teaching and write in
the summer. I think it enriches your teaching and gives you
something new to hring to the
classroom. Recently, I've gotten back into research. I've

.

presented some papers at conferences in the past few years,
which I hope to revise into a
book. I don't have to publish,
but I want to."
After all of the logistical
questions were answered, I
wanted to get to the "why" of
my inquiry.
Q: What made you want
to become a professor?
A: After I graduated from
Penn State with a B.A. in
English, I didn't know what to

one talk today?" but you want
sense that most of the students are involved. Good
classes are a lively, interesting
conversation, and like a good
conversation, it should be give
and take. I like it when students have learned something
and felt like it was worth it to
come to class, and I like it
when students make me think
about a text. That is when we
are creating knowledge and
not just rehashing what we've

plaining and just go to shows

This isn's my usual band
blurb. This issue I decided to
discuss some problems 1 have
pertaining to the local music
venues, or lack there of, here
in the Lock Haven area.
Considering that I've been
going to shows since high
school, it was definitely hard
coming to Lock Haven and
realizing that cheap, small
venue concerts were out ofthe
question.
Then, one glorious day,
freshman year, I was introduced to a little gem called
Crowbar. Nothing fancy, just
a hole in the wall venue that
provided music fans, such as
myself, with an outlet to see
slightly smaller, up and coming bands that were coming
through the area. Sometimes a
slightly larger act would even
grace the stage of Crowbar,
making it even harder to resist
heading out to a show.
The only downfall was the
drive to and from State
College to go see these shows
that seemed to start right after
classes let out and lasted into
the early morning hours, making it rather difficult to function in my 8 or 9 a.m. lectures.
But in the end it was well
worth the aggravation.
After three years ofventuring back and forth, I was confronted with the devastating
blow in May 2006 that
Crowbar would be closing its
doors. After 14 years ofbusi-

el someplace else. Well it
would be great to go to shows
at Bryce Jordan Center, but
with
my
unfortunately
mediocre budget, spending at
least $30, but most likely more
on a ticket to see two bands
doesn't seem terribly economical.
On top of that, why would
I subject myself to stadium
seating, only to be able to see
the artist as if they were
roughly the size of my pinkie?
1 understand that a lot of
people are accustomed to such
large venues. Growing up outside of Philadelphia, I've gone
to a few concerts exactly like
that, but once I realized that
the smaller venues were much
more intimate and enjoyable, 1
immediately became hooked
on such shows.
Traveling the distances to
other venues seems a little
ridiculous, considering most
other venues are at least two
hours away, and with the cost
of gas prices, I'm basically
spending the same amount of
money or more if 1 were to go
to Bryce Jordan Center. The
whole point is to be able to go
to a small show and see a
handful ofbands for a reasonable price.
Downtown we have Java
Therapy and Uncle Al's that
host live music nights, but
sometimes the mellow bands
aren't exactly what you're in
the mood for. From time to
time, you need high energy

and challenges of being a professor and sheds
light on why he would choose no profession

but this.
do, so I applied to grad school
and got a teaching assistantship. It was there that I fell in

love with leaching. The desire
to be a researcher came later.
Q: What are the top
three perks to being a professor?
A: This is a wonderful
career; 1 can't imagine doing
anything else. I get paid to
talk about books with smart
young people. At times it
almost seems like a scam to
collect money for doing this
because it's so much fun when
it's working well. I also like
the changing nature of it.
liveiy semester is a new group
of students. It's never consistent. Thirdly, 1 like my colleagues a lot. 1 think we've
got a great department of professional smart people who are
fun to work along side.
Q: What do you find
most challenging?
A: The teaching. Keeping
the teaching fresh and figuring
out what works for each new
group of students is challenging. The nice thing about
teaching two classes a day is
that I have many days that I
feel things went well in both
classes; when I had three a
day, it was tough to have all
three go well. The terror of
teaching are those classes that
don't work, when I walk in the
room and the class feels cold often for reasons that are
beyond my control. It's tough
when 1 look at my watch and
only three minutes have gone
by. Sometimes it's lonely up
there.

Q: What does "a class

going well" mean to you?
A: Classes going wall
means that it's a reciprocal
feeling. I don't want my class
to just be based on "Did every-

done in the past.

Q: How much time do
you

spend

planning

tion from other newly added
music venues in the area, such
as Bryce Jordan Center and
the nature of the music industry. Crowbar was throwing in
the towel, leaving a lot of
music fans disappointed.
Now I know what most of
you are thinking. Stop com-

A: Less now than at the
beginning of my career

because I recycle a certain percentage of lesson plans. But
each semester I also try to
change a certain percentage to
keep it fresh. 1 reread everything that I'm teaching in my
classes. When I teach a new
author, I probably spend 20-30
hours, in addition to reading
text, researching the author
and figuring out what questions to ask and how to
approach the work.
Q: What frustrates you
the most?
A: What frustrates me is
my sense of the helplessness
of some of our students.
Perhaps because they've been
"taught to the test" in the past,
some students want everything
spelled out: they want a sample of every paper assignment
and they want to know exactly
what is going to be on the test.
One of the most important
things you learn in college
should be problem solving.
Q: What would you do if
you could have any job in
the world?
A: I'd be a college professor. I wanted to be lawyer
when I was a junior in high

school, and in grad school 1
occasionally second guessed
my English degree because I
knew I could make a lot more
money being a lawyer with
significantly less education,
and I'd be using many of the
same skills that I use in
English. But I fell in love with
teaching when I was a
teacher's assistant, and I really
can't imagine doing anything
else.

Even our very own spring
isn't always what
you're looking for.
While most are naive and
think, oh, wow, 1 get a free
ticket to the show, think again.
If you check your student bill,
which I'm sure most of you
have never seen before, look at
the little section called SCC
Activity/Concert Fee. Yeah,
it's a little over $100. So in
the end you are putting a little
more than a few bucks
towards this show, or at least
your parents are, and how
many of you have actually
made it out to the spring concert every year?
I know that I haven't, and
it wasn't because I was so
overwhelmed with schoolwork that I couldn't pry
myself away from my computer and books for the few hours
that the concert lasted.
Personally. I think that
there is a need for a music outlet here on campus. It's not
often that Lock Haven students get the opportunity to go
out to a show for the night and
enjoy some live music. What
other way are students going
to be exposed to new music,
and don't tell me that the

A Farewell Rescue and other local bands performed Oct. 16 at the
PUB MPR for the first installment of WLHU Radio Club's concert series.

New local ban
Marissa Brunner
Co-Editor in Chief
Everyday, through the
radio and television, we are
exposed to so-called popular
music with repetitive beats and
similar rhythms. We hear the
same old songs over and over
again on MTV or VH1, and it's
almost impossible to turn on
the radio without hearing
Justin Timberlake or Christina
Aguilera buzzing from the
speakers.
It's not often that you come
across a group of musicians
that will choose to do something unique and offthe beaten
track of an ordinary bands.
Contrary to popular belief,
there's more to music than
what's playing on the radio,
which is precisely the message
that the three man band,
Realix, is trying to get across.
At the beginning of this
semester, seniors Mike Rinard,
Felix Noy and Chris Wazynski
formed the band Realix with
hopes of introducing music
and rhythms from artists who
are unfamiliar to the typical
college student.
"I'm tired of mainstream
radio and MTV and VH1
defining what people listen to
and like," said Rinard, who is
the vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the band. "1 think it is
important to play not only our
own music, but also music by
like Ben Harper, Paddy Casey,
even
and
Dispatch
Radiohead."
In order to create a distinct
sound in their music, the band

shares gift of originality

chooses to use a djembe rather
than the common drum.
According to Noy, who plays
the djembe, it adds a more ethnic sound to their performances.
Even the name of their
band is unique and out of the
"Our friend Adam always
used to call Felix 'Realix,' so
we thought it would be a cool
name for a band," said Rinard.
But it wasn't just the nickname that influenced them to
choose that particular title.
The band strives to write and
play music that is different and
unknown to most, which is
what they consider to be genuine music.
"We wanted to come across
as performing real music, not

chintzy stuff like you hear
today," said Wazynski. who is
the lead guitarist.
As of right now. when
Realix performs, they play
mostly covers from a variety of
artists, as well as songs that
they have written themselves,
but they're currently working
on expanding their abilities.
"We want to learn to play a
plethora of genres, like bluegrass, blues and funk," said
Noy, who is in the process of
teaching himself to play the
harmonica.
The band as a whole admits
that their love for music, combined with their love for performing for audiences, is what
inspires them to practice crazy
hours and be committed to
writing new songs.

"Music in general is art'
inspiration to me. When I hear
a good song 1 immediately
want to pick up the guitar and
play along with it," said
Wazynski.
"Knowing that
people are enjoying what
you're playing is a naturalhigh."
Realix performs every
other Thursday of the month
from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. at Uncle
Albert's Restaurant and Bar in
downtown Lock Haven. In
addition to introducing new
artists and music, they have'
one more message for their"
audience.
"We're just ordinary people with ordinary lives," said
Noy. "We live to give the gift
of music to others."

Real World cast members heat up crowd at Homecoming

Even with Friday night's
temperatures causing everyone's teeth to chatter, this
year's homecoming pep rally

As Johanna and MJ introduced the 2006 Homecoming

the yard beside Zimmerli

and cheers.
"I'm not sure if we stood

Haunted studio set for screams
Sarah Wojcik
News Editor
Every year, as the leaves
begin to fall and the mornings
are threatened with frost, people start to look around for a
place to scare themselves
senseless. Lock Haven's
University Players (UP)
extend an invitation to such
fear-loving individuals for
their annual Haunted Studio,
which will be open for
screams at Sloan 321 on Oct.
27 and 28 at 11:00 p.m. with
an admission fee of $3.
Senior Dennis Berfield
directed and designed this and
last year's Haunted Studio.
These last two years have
stood out from previous
Haunted Studios because they
were handled as productions
rather than as committee projects. Berfield proposed this
change to the UP Executive
Board last year in hopes that
the event would run more efficiently as a result.
The Haunted Studio has
attracted impressive crowds in
the past. Last year's show was
themed
Child's
"A
Nightmare" and followed a
girl through a nightmarish carnival scene. Attendees were
forced to use Sloan's art
gallery to wait for their turn to
tour through the studio,
demonstrating an unusual
crowd for the event.

"Last year we had an
amazing turn-out," Berfield
said. "We really were surprised with the amount of
interest there was. We are
counting on the same enthusiasm this year because it's only
bigger and better."
This year's theme revolves
around an apartment with a
bloody history; the haunted
local has witnessed a series of
murders and a number of terrors still roam the rooms and
hallways.
"When 1 come up with
some ideas for a Haunted
Studio, I simply grab a stack
of note cards and write down
the basic room and character
ideas and go from there,"
Berfield explained. "Dantes
Inferno and the movie Seven
are two sources that I used for
some ideas."
The characters are a huge
asset that can heighten the tour
group's fear or dampen their
experience. Auditions ensure
that enthusiastic and quickthinking individuals are part of
the production, though the format for these auditions is
starkly different from traditional ones.
"With Haunted Studio
there is no script," Berfield
explained. "The ways I have
run Haunted Studio auditions
for the past two years is by
having the troupe participate
in a series ofimprove games. I
usually add elements to each

scene that an actor can use to
develop behaviors that may be
in some ofthe characters that I
have created for the theme of
Haunted Studio."
In addition to the actors,
there are about 30 people
behind the scenes, creating the
environment and taking
charge other facets of the production.
Ray Sturdevant is the acting sound designer and Rob
Bergenstock is in charge of
lighting, with Kyle Murphy
working as his assistance.
Rachel Moon and Jaime
Torely are makeup designers,
and Danielle Kilcoyne is the
leader of costume design.
Funds come from the UP's
special account, but the
amount ofmoney spent on the
production is minimal.
"A lot of the materials you
see are props, furniture, or
costumes that we have collected over the years," said
Berfield.
Berfield could not give
away details but offered some
insight into the effects that
will be featured throughout the
production.
"Even though something
may look complicated, it is
probably simpler than you
would ever imagine,"said
Berfield.

Haven. Various businesses in
Lock Haven hosted the artists
work, hanging banners outside
of their establishments to let
the walkers know they were
hosting artists' work.
Artists were located at the
different businesses to answer
any questions that walkers had
about their pieces.
Light
refreshments were given at
some ofthe locations.
The art work will be displayed in businesses Monday
through Friday, from Oct. 13
through Nov. 10.
The different types of artwork that are on display
include photography, oils,
watercolors, mosaic glass, pottery, woodcarving, jewelry,
metal work, mixed media and
more. At some locations there
was live music being played.
"Placing the art work in
businesses compliments the
artist and the business' owner,"
said Ron McGihiniss, president ofthe CCAC. It is profitable for both owner and artist,
as the art work draws walkers
into owners' shops, and in
return, both get business and
exposure.
Vivienne Shay, also know
as the English Lady, has been
involved with art for a little
over a year now. She is from
Birmingham, England, and her
art work includes working with

"I am very proud of my
heritage," said Shay. Her art
work pertains mostly to
English Folklore tales.
Two ofLHU's students had
work on display as well. Sisters
Carleigh and Ashley Wilt had
fusible glass jewelry to show
off at the art walk. They have
been creating art work out of
their house and taking their
work to local shows to sell it
for over a year now. "Our
mother, who is an art teacher,
got us interested in making
jewelry," said Carleigh Wilt.

work includes taking photos in
color, black and white and
infrared.
"I love the Amish," said
Raco. He finds them to be fascinating people and likes to
take pictures ofthem.
The Art Walk entertains
many LHU students, even
some who have already graduated.
"Some old friends ofmine
have exhibits on display and I
wanted to see them," said
Lauren Fernanzdes, an alumnus ofLHU, who was in town
visiting old friends for homecoming weekend.
"I enjoy looking and purchasing art," said Jody Cohen,
who has been to several art
walks in the past.
