Students will have a chance to participate in more weekly activities this semester. The Haven Activities Council (HAC) is sponsoring weekend events and introducing special pro-grams for Wednesdays.

“HAC Hump Days,” as they are being called, are mystery events held every week. No information about the program is known before-hand. Most programs will be held in areas like Ivy Lane, Russell Lawn, the PUB or Price Auditorium.

“[The Hump Day event] will be in well-populated places and if it isn’t, then it will be announced where the event is,” Scott Daube, an outdoor

recreation major in his senior year and HAC member, said. “There will be days when we have performers or give aways.”

“That sounds odd and it might be a bit confusing until everyone knows the details but I’m sure after the first couple of Wednesdays, people might catch on,” Megan Donahay, a junior majoring in criminal justice, said.

The majority of HAC events are held on Fridays and Saturdays, so the Hump Day programs would al-low students who return home on the weekends the chance to benefit and have fun.

In addition to the Wednesday programs, HAC scheduled their popu-lar New York City trips for Sept. 21 and Dec. 7. The September trip costs

$25, but LHU students can also attend a Broadway production of “The Lion King” for an extra $50.

“We [the HAC] are really excit-ed about the Broadway trip and expect a big turn out,” said Kacie Shallow, HAC president and a senior majoring in sports management. “We’ve been trying to get tickets to this show for years.”

More big annual programs are the Homecoming days in October, with multiple events planned. Running from Oct. 16-19, events will include a Hump Day program, a pep rally, and the golf cart parade around campus.

For students interested in see-ing what other programs will be held this year, copies of the HAC schedule are available at the PUB information desk.

Everyone has heard of phrases like, “there are opportunities waiting around every corner” or “opportunity never knocks twice at anyone’s door.”

For the international studies department these sayings come alive every year at the Study Abroad Open House.

The Open House will take place at 5:30 p.m. September 17 in Bentley Dining Hall, rooms S06 and S07 for students interested in an op-portunity to study in another country. Free pizza and beverages will be of-fered at the event.

Shawn O’Dell, secretary of the Institute for International Stud-ies, recommends students save some of their general education courses to study during their sophomore or ju-nior years while abroad.

“There are some countries that offer courses which count as

core requirements in certain majors,” O’Dell said.

Dan Reeder, senior studio arts major, studied in Italy during the summer of 2011 and said the experi-ence changed his life.

“I would recommend a study abroad program to other people be-cause, in my opinion, it’s good to ex-perience another culture through your own eyes,” Reeder said.

While abroad Reeder felt the general cost was fair for the experi-ence of going to another country, and that the memories he made are some-thing he will value for the rest of his life.

Megan Royer, senior interna-tional studies and French major, is currently studying in France.

“There isn’t much culture shock because I’ve taken French cul-ture classes,” Royer said via email.

Though it was an easy transi-tion, Royer mentioned she is experi-encing a bit of homesickness.

Shianne Spencer, junior in-

ternational studies major, went abroad taking the course Comparative Healthcare – Morocco and the Health-care Access. On her trip Spencer had to create a lesson plan on nutrition to teach to the villagers of Morocco.

“It was a great experience to teach the villagers how to eat healthi-er,” Spencer said.

Eager to return to Morocco, Spencer has applied to study abroad at the university in Rabat, the capital city.

“I formed bonds with my host family, the translators, and the villag-ers,” Spencer said. “I really want to go back because I want to further my education in a second language and maybe teach English.”

Lock Haven’s international students and American students who studied overseas will be at the Open House to share their experiences with interested students. There will also be information on shorter study abroad programs offered during spring breaks and summers.

HAC offers new events for students

3Sept. 12, 2013 News

The Greek organizations here at Lock Haven University work to condemn the modern social stigmas of Greek life created by popular culture films such as “The House Bunny” and “Animal House.”

Each social fraternity and so-rority at LHU takes part in commu-nity service projects, both on campus and off. The brothers of Alpha Chi Rho raise money for cancer research; Phi Mu Delta works towards fund-raising for their national philanthro-py, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital; and the sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau hold their annual “Rock-a-Thon” every fall, where the ladies rock in rocking chairs for 24-hours and ask for do-nations to raise money for the Pine Mountain Settlement School and the Clinton County Women’s Center.

“I believe the most rewarding aspect of going Greek is all the good you do in the community and all of the connections you have once you graduate,” Joe Cunningham, a senior

majoring in history and the junior tri-bune for social fraternity Kappa Delta Rho.

Aside from completing hours of community service, a majority of members of the Greek community at Lock Haven believe that one of the biggest benefits of going Greek are the networking possibilities.

“Because of networking I got a job through the Fraternity on cam-pus working in the tech center,” Brent Juster, a sophomore communication major and Vice President of Alpha Chi Rho, said.

For the Professional Business Fraternity on campus, making con-nections is only one of the many rea-sons why students rush Alpha Kappa Psi. For junior communication major Lisa Conner, rushing Alpha Kappa Psi was the natural choice as she was interested in the professional aspect of the fraternity and the rich history of its previous members.

The social fraternities and sororities on campus could be seen in front of Bentley and Raub halls last week and this week promoting their respective rush events.

“We try to have fun events to encourage interaction between pro-spective new members and brothers in order to recruit new members to join,” Juster said.

Panhellenic Recruitment Chair Brooke Kibler, a senior commu-nication major, who works to ensure that every social Greek Sorority on campus has an equal opportunity to recruit women to become members, was highly impressed with the soror-ity recruitment turn-out.

“I feel that recruitment was a really big success, considering in the past few years we have not had as large a turn out in the fall semester as we did this year,” she said.

There were fifty plus women that came out to events to see what exactly Greek Sorority life at LHU en-tailed.

Non-social professional busi-ness fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi are currently going through their recruit-ment process and have events coming up next week beginning on Monday, such as a hot dog eating contest, a swim at the river and a flag football game.

How do you balance a job and being a

student?Are you looking to make

some money and build your re-sume? Are you unsure of what you want to do after you graduate, or maybe you just need work experi-ence?

Well the opportunity for that is right around the corner at the VIP Fair. VIP stands for vol-unteer opportunities, internships, and part-time jobs.

From 10:30-2:30 on Sep-tember 18th, LHU Career Servic-es will be hosting the annual VIP Fair in Roger’s Gymnasium.

This is an opportunity for students to gain experience, net-work with employers, and build their resumes. Think of it as a re-lated-experience job search made easy.

“Going to the job fair is beneficial to all students for a

variety of reasons,” Joan Welker, Director of Career Services, said. “If students are undecided on ca-reers, they can come to learn more about them.”

“Employers are looking for students of all ages – freshmen can get their first related experi-ences to put on a resume, and se-niors can talk to employers about working for them after gradua-tion,” Welker continued.

The Eagle Eye surveyed 25 students who have attended the event in the past. When asked if it was beneficial, 23 of them an-swered affirmatively.

The event will include tables set up in the gymnasium with displays including informa-tion about their organizations. Employers will be eager to talk to students and recruit them.

“Students need to think outside the box on how to make the job fair work for them. It is good practice for those entering the professional world to come out

and talk to recruiters and employ-ers,” Welker said.

“Today people are mostly getting their jobs through net-working. Students can do this at the VIP Fair by talking to employ-ers, handing out their resumes, collecting business cards, and asking questions,” she added.

There will be over 30 em-ployers there including Keystone Central School District, First Quality Enterprises, Clinton County Womens’ Center, Aflac, and many more.

“Students could meet employers that they can contact later for a job. This is an opportu-nity that all students can benefit from,” Welker said.

Students attending this event are required to dress profes-sionally and encouraged to bring copies of their resume.

VIP Fair broadens horizons

The Gay Straight Alliance is hosting a can-dlelight vigil at 6 p.m. this evening, Sept. 12. The event is going to be held on Russell Lawn as part of Suicide Prevention Week.

“I think that this is important because I’ve had friends who have tried to commit suicide and some have succeeded,” Liv Jones, a junior majoring in social work and GSA secretary, said. “We’re try-ing to raise awareness.”

The vigil will feature faculty, like Professor Laurie Cannady, and students sharing their stories and poetry, as well as an open mic period for audi-ence members.

“It’s important for everyone to know that it is not uncommon to feel those things, and that there is always help available,” said Megan ‘Noah’ Penny, the president of GSA and a sophomore majoring in recreation management.

On Sept. 10, the GSA gave yellow ribbons, which represent suicide victims and prevention, to passing students. To raise awareness for the event, they also put up posters with statistics and hot line numbers.

“There are a variety of resources for stu-dents who are struggling with [thoughts of] suicide. The best thing for those on campus is to contact the Counseling Center; they can arrange to speak to a counselor there,” said Tara Mitchell, a psychology professor. “There are also some national hot lines that students from campus can call, although they aren’t based on campus.”

As of Aug. 2012, the CDC reports that sui-cide accounted 4,600 deaths among 10-24 year olds, making it the third leading cause of death. The same article states that even more people in that same age bracket have attempted suicide, but failed. The CDC has yet to release statistics for this year.

“It’s our first year doing this, and I hope that each year we can add more to spreading awareness for this important cause,” said Penny.

“Study at work in your down time,” Zane Brooks, a sopho-more majoring in English, said.

“Time management is key. Plan when to go to work, when to do homework and when to social stuff,” Carrie Dalton, a senior who is majoring in social work, said.

I push myself to get stuff done that needs to be done,” Heather Purcell, a junior majoring in health science, said.

With new TV shows pre-miering, there are definitely some returning favorites everyone is just dying to see. Whether you’re a sci-fi fan or a sitcom kid, these are shows that we are all excited to see on our screens again.

How I Met your Mother (CBS September 23, 8 p.m.)

It’s been nine years since Ted Mosby sat his kids down to tell them the story of who their mother is and how he met her. With the show going into its final season, it will be nice to finally know who owns the infamous yellow umbrella.

Once Upon a Time (ABC Sep-tember 29, 8 p.m.)

In the season two finale the mysterious Greg and Tamera kid-napped Henry. In the season three premiere the most famous fairy tale characters have to team up to find him. Snow White, Prince Charming,

The Evil Queen, Rumplestiltskin, Captain Hook and Emma Swan go to a place very few have gone to be-fore, Neverland.

Parks and Recreation (NBC September 26, 8 p.m.)

At the end of last season we saw Leslie Knope, played by Amy Poehler, marry the love of her life and finish her first year as a mem-ber of city council. But at the end of the season, Leslie hit rough wa-ters when the citizens decided they weren’t better off than when Leslie entered office, and asked for a re-call. Season six will focus on Leslie’s fight to keep her city council chair.

Glee (FOX September 26, 9 p.m.)

Splitting the time between New York City and Lima, Ohio, the last season of Glee focused on the lives of all the New Directioners we loved and some new ones we fell in love with. This upcoming season will definitely focus on the need to deal with the sudden death of the show’s star Cory Monteith who played foot-ball star turned Glee coach Finn Hudson. Entertainment weekly re-

ported that the show’s third episode will focus on this. Also look out for Demi Lovato as Naya Rivera’s new love interest and the newest recur-ring cast member.

Supernatural (CW October 8, 9 p.m.)

Season eight of Supernatu-ral started with Dean’s return from purgatory. His brother Sam had fallen into a pretty normal life and liked it that way. Though it took some time the brothers reconciled and went back to their hunting ways. The brothers faced the trials of hell, and many “angelic” adversar-ies. Season eight ended on a couple cliffhangers that fans are excited to see tied up in the upcoming season.

American Horror Story: Coven (FX October 9, 10 p.m.)

The last season of American Horror Story focused on the inhabit-ants of Briarcliff Mental Institution. Each season of American Horror Story centers on different charac-ters and their stories. The upcom-ing season will focus on a school for witches in New Orleans.

Another season of your favorite shows back in action

Coffee with Conti at Cafe Avenue 209

Spencer McCoyStaff [email protected]

While walking down Bellefonte Avenue you may notice a unique coffee shop. That coffee shop goes by the name of Avenue 209.

When you first enter the shop you are greeted by three large signs that offer bagel sandwiches, hot and cold drinks, or even ice cream, if that tickles your fancy. As a fre-quent customer, who spends probably too much time there, I can attest to the incredible customer service and friendly atmosphere.

Jared Conti, the owner of Avenue 209, offers a unique venue. Customers can take advantage of a stage for musical performances and literary reading in one corner or relax on comfortable couches and chairs while enjoying a nice cup of joe.

Conti has been involved with the local music scene for some time now. He believes music “goes hand in hand with a coffee shop.”

He has always written his own music and enjoyed hot coffee, so he decided to combine his two passions. Conti believes people in the town of Lock Haven have potential to express themselves through art and music.

Returning students may notice some changes to the weekly schedule of concerts and events. Every Saturday there may be a returning band or solo artist. Conti stated there will be new acts to look forward to in the future as well.

During the week, the coffee shop holds events such as Coffee through Culture or a popular annual event known as Rock the Haven.

Coffee Through Culture is a series of international events hosted by Avenue 209. Foreign exchange students from the university give presentations about their home countries, featuring their customs and cuisine.

Rock the Haven allows students and members of the community a chance to showcase their talents and be voted winner by their peers, in likeness of American Idol or The X Factor.

In previous years, the weekly schedule was filled with more than two gigs a week and various events all month long. This year Avenue 209 hopes to start off strong and have a more organized schedule that will make it easier for customers to attend the events.

Those interested in setting up a gig at Avenue 209, can send an email to [email protected] or stop in and talk to Conti personally.

Conti is looking forward seeing new and familiar faces in the shop. Photo courtesy of facebook.com

Film Box Retrospective:“Blade Runner”

with Kathleen EllisonWhen it comes to sci-fi mov-

ies “Blade Runner” is probably one of the greatest classics I have ever seen. Based off of Phillip K. Dick’s book “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” this thriller is directed by Ridley Scott and stars Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer.

In the future, replicants, hu-man clones with a fixed lifespan, are widely used in colonies outside of Earth. When a group of violent repli-cants escape to Earth, Rick Deckard (Ford) a Blade Runner (a cop special-ized in killing replicants) is pulled out of retirement to hunt them down.

This movie is suspenseful and action packed. The fights were quick, fast-paced and edged with unease for the main character. The cinematogra-phy is dark and gritty, emphasizing this idea of a future filled with over-in-dustrialization. This also underscored many of the themes within the movie about society and humanity. The spe-cial effects are amazing for the time, with it the most impressive being the visuals of the city itself and flying cars.

Harrison Ford’s portrayal of Deckard is wonderful. He easily

showed the complex characteristic of Deckard, his cynicism and general dis-gust with the world, and how his way of thinking is challenged and changed throughout the movie. I also loved Rutger Hauer (although I am biased because he was in one of my favor-ite movies). His depiction of the lead replicant, Roy Batty, was filled with desperation and anger that fitted the character perfectly.

The movie flows in classic Noir style. The plot winds slowly, al-most mesmerizingly toward an inevi-table conclusion that is punctuated throughout with violent altercations with the replicants. The actions of the replicants in comparison with Deck-ard’s pursuit create a plot that builds tension and deepens the characters.

“Blade Runner” is one of those sci-fi thrillers that challenges your way of thinking and how you see the world. Filled with stunning visuals, complex characters, and an excellent plot, it’s no wonder that this one of the most revered sci-fi classics. I strongly suggest anyone who loves a good mov-ie classic to watch this treasure.

We’ve all heard the stories. A kid plays Grand Theft Auto and gets into fights, the little boy who won’t leave his room because he’s trying to beat his new game, or (in an extreme situation) the bul-lied teen who plays Call of Duty and brings his dad’s gun to school. It is widely acknowledged that video games can lead to aggressive, antisocial behavior… but what can we gain from them?

In 2003, Daphne Balvelier was doing a study on game playing, but she wasn’t trying to prove the benefits of gaming. She was giving her experiment on deafness and visual attention a test run. Her study aid and his friends tested the game used in the experiment for her, and they repeatedly got scores beyond belief. Balvelier realized that the boys were frequent gamers, and that was why they performed so well. She then reformulated her ex-periment to test the benefits gained from gaming.

Balvelier gathered two groups to test her experiment. One group was given a puzzle game,

the other an action game. After a period of time, she recorded that those who played the action game were better at quickly processing complex informa-tion, estimating and switching rapidly from one task to another. She also realized that they were better at ignoring irrelevant information and soak-ing in only what they needed (www.bbc.com).

As college students, we can benefit greatly from gaming. Switching rapidly from one task to an-other, or multitasking, is something we must do on a daily basis. Even listening to a professor while tak-ing notes is multitasking! And ignoring irrelevant information? Studying would be 100% easier if we could just disregard everything we don’t need. Video games have also been proven to improve vision (es-pecially at night), and improve critical thinking.

Gaming actually challenges us, while other forms of entertainment may not. When we are play-ing a game and we fail, we have to completely come up with a different approach and try again. How important is that skill in life? It’s crazy important! (Unless, of course, you never fail at anything). Video games have even been proven to help people learn to deal with conditions such as diabetes or asthma

, and aid companies in the training of their employ-ees (Nic Fleming).

Like anything, there are downsides to video games. During experiments, tests have shown that violent games can desensitize us. Video games have also been shown to be incredibly addictive: they re-lease a higher amount of dopamine into the brain than heroin (Katiecouric.com).

Situations like these are very atypical, and we cannot attribute everything negative in a gamer’s life to video games. While it is important to keep in mind effects such as addiction and aggres-siveness, we also need to realize that video games can help more than they can hurt.

Gaming affects us in a multitude of ways, but especially as college students. They can really benefit us. Improved concentration, critical think-ing and multitasking are traits all students would love to have; so if gaming provides us with these skills, why are we arguing that they are detrimen-tal to a satisfying life? If anything, games can assist us in being better students, and in turn, assist us in having a better existence.

Benefits you can gain from gaming

A recently released manga takes a step into the right direction of getting josei manga published in the United States. While it has to be la-beled as a shojo, it is making strides.

To quickly explain, shojo is typically for teenage girls and young-er while josei is typically for women in their early twenties. That very man-ga is Hapi Mari or Happy Marriage in English. It is drawn and written by Maki Enjouji. In the USA, Viz Media holds the licensing rights and has so far published one of the ten volumes. The rest are on a bi-monthly release schedule so far.

In the series, the main char-acter, Chiwa, works at a business during the day and at an escort ser-vice at night. In the beginning, she is working hard to pay off her father’s

debt from his failed business. One fateful night, a custom-

er comes in and insults her. Being prideful, she throws water on him and gets fired. She goes into to work the next morning to find out that the man was the president of the busi-ness she works for and now she must marry him under the condition that her debt will be paid. The whole se-ries is about her adjusting to the mar-ried life and the insecurities she has when it comes to men.

Chiwa is very cute and tries very hard. I can relate to her in ways with my relationship with my boy-friend. If you want a manga series that makes you feel all sorts of emo-tions, then start picking up volumes. Do not let the unflipped format throw you off! Manga is very easy to read and the story is very entertaining! You can find Hapi Mari in bookstores like Barnes and Noble or online at places like Amazon.com.

New josei manga coming to the USA is filled with life Guess the Movie Quote!

“Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking Nerf herder.”

If you’re familiar with the music of the 1990’s, then you’ve probably heard of Fire-house. Formed in 1989, Firehouse originates from Charlotte, North Carolina but features Lock Haven native, C.J. Snare as the lead singer. In 1992, Firehouse beat out bands like Nirvana and Alice in Chains for “Favorite Heavy Metal/Hard Rock New Artist” at the American Music Awards. So, yes, they’re a good band.

Needless to say, it was pretty big news when the band announced they were giving Snare a homecoming by performing at the Durrwachter Alumni Conference Center on the campus of Lock Haven University.

The owners of radio station, 92.1 WSQV, teamed up with the Firehouse man-agement to make the concert happen last Fri-day and I had the privilege to attend.

Firehouse was welcomed by a crowd

of hundreds at the DACC and rocked the stage all night long. They treated the crowd with hits like “Reach for the Sky” and slowed things down with classic ballads like “Love of a Lifetime.” I can honestly say it was in my top five favorite concerts I’ve ever attended.

After the show, Firehouse took the time to stay after and meet each and every one of the fans in attendance. For nearly two hours, the band sat at a table to shake hands, sign autographs and have friendly conversa-tion with the crowd, especially Snare. The Firehouse lead singer looked at home as he re-united with numerous friends and family from his years at Lock Haven high school.

Not only did Snare meet old friends again, but he made new ones. Kids as young as 13-years-old were in attendance and en-joyed the music just as much as the 35 and up crowd. It just goes to show that rock and roll is the only genre that can reach everyone regardless of age, race, faith or moral-ground.

If you’re looking for a band that is a good mix of great talent and selfless devotion to their fans, look no further than Firehouse.

College students spend their days looking forward to one thing; the weekend. We work hard all week long just so we can afford some extra downtime Friday through Sunday. However, one of the biggest clichés of college is going out to a party on Friday or Saturday night.

Parties may be fun but they can lead to an underage, hangover and dangerous situ-ations. Here are some ideas that are safer, more fun and will help you not be a part of a horrible cliché.

Go to the PUB. The PUB is open un-

til 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Go play some video games, ping pong or pole. Get some friends together and have a ping pong tournament.

Have a movie night. You can either go to a movie at the Roxy theatre downtown, or check out a couple of movies from the li-brary. Get some pizza, popcorn and some friends and watch your favorite movies.

Have a game night. Get some friends together and pass the night away playing games. Some of my favorites are: Cards Against Humanity, The Game of Things and Cranium.

Dare to be different this weekend and have some fun that you and your friends will remember in the morning.

Students share...Though we’d probably rather forget it, we all have

embarrassing moments from time to time. Some brave Lock Haven students shared some of their most traumatizing on-campus moments.

“Getting shocked by the electric stool at Jim Karol’s program in front of an audience of people.” --Matt Scharadin, senior

“I didn’t know that I talk in my sleep until my roommate told me.” --Alex Kulp, freshman

“Getting pantsed in the middle of Bentley.” --Randy Pruden, junior

“It was raining and I was wearing flip flops and I slipped down the stairs behind Smith Hall.” --Gabby Montana, senior

“I was going down the ramp behind the suites, fell, and took out the kid walking in front of me.” --A.J. Radle, sophomore

“I walked into the Raub computer lab, which was filled with students;I sat down in a chair which collapsed. It’s a fake chair, it’s not my fault, it was broken before me.” --Elizabeth Shultz, senior

“During the winter I ended up slipping on ice and falling up and down stairs twice in one day.” --Evelyn Ewing, junior

Lock Haven University has devel-oped its own mobile app called HavenMobile.

“All major institutions, universities, organizations are now introducing mobile ap-plications. It cuts down on your mail, it gives people a real contact or entrance way of get-ting into it,” Rodney Jenkins, Executive As-sistant to the President for External Rela-tions and Communications, said.

The HavenMobile app is Lock Hav-en’s way of joining this trend. At the moment that app contains links.

The athletics link will allow updates on current sporting events, scores, and up-coming games or matches. The maps link will pinpoint your location and allow you to get directions on campus. The News link will di-rect you to any current University news. The Library link allows you to locate authors and may allow other features.

“We don’t know if we’re going to be able to do it yet or not, but [we are hoping to included] anything from going on and reserv-ing a book to reserving space in the library,” Jenkins said.

There is also a video and a photo link that will allow access to anything uploaded to the website. A directory is available so stu-dents can look up contact info for employees of the university. There is also a courses link which should allow students to browse avail-able courses on campus.

An emergency link has been made a part of it as well, in case a student is ever in a situation where they cannot call for help. If they hit the emergency link, help will respond to their location.

There is also a link to MyHaven and, of course, a tab for the Eagle Eye. The app is free to download and available at the mo-ment, however it will not be fully live until after Sept. 30 when the website for it is com-pleted and launched.

With Lock Haven joining the mobile age students should also be made aware that the app has room for growth and likely there will be more links added in the future.

“We can do up to fourteen different apps,” Jenkins said. “The goal is to allow for real time communication between the univer-sity and its many constituents, both internal stakeholders and external stakeholders.”

Fall into a new wardrobe Dayna BlochManaging [email protected]

With a new season ap-proaching it is up to us to adapt our wardrobes to the changing weather.

The last couple months we focused on high-waisted shorts, muted florals, and comfy rompers. But now it’s time to break out the boots because fall is coming fast

The biggest transition we need to make with the upcoming weather is with our color pallets. While bright and neon colors are always fun, they contrast with the fall feel and need to be tucked away until the warm weather is back.

Deep greens and shades of gray are what we can expect to

see this fall but just because the colors darken doesn’t mean we can’t put a little pop in our outfits.

A dark blazer with a hint of sparkle on the shoulders or a decorated lapel will bring a bit of brightness that may have been lacking in a fall-colored outfit.

Jewelry is key in making an easy wardrobe transition with a changing season. We can now wear chunky necklaces, bracelets up the arm, and big rings that were to heavy to wear in the hot summer sun.

When working with the dark fall colors, bold colors in moderation are a must.

A navy top worn with a geometric necklace in a bright blue, or a maroon dress paired with coral colored earrings will string along the remaining hints of summer we are reluctant to leave behind.

Spice up your fall outfit with contrasting textures. Frilly patterns paired with dark colors, or deep patterns and brighter shades allow you to have fun mix-ing up all that’s stored in your closet.

A top embellished with lace paired with a leather jacket or skirt will balance out the hard and soft feelings that come along with this season. Not to mention a jacket will allow you to keep com-fortable while the temperature changes throughout the day.

Layering an outfit with light sweaters and jackets will al-low you to change with the weath-er. Throwing a cardigan into your bag as you walk out the door can be a life saver when the tempera-ture changes so drastically.

Ankle booties, leg warm-ers, and light scarves are other pieces to keep in mind when plan-ning your outfit. Fall is all about mixing whether it be with tex-ture, color, or seasonal pieces.

Play with the things in your closet until you find some-thing that will keep you looking cute and feeling cozy while walk-ing around on campus.

#throwbackthursdayIn September of 1983 the students of Lock Haven University felt that the sports teams lacked support from the student body. Decades later many current students feel similarly.

The only thing more challenging than a long distance relationship is having your signifi-cant other serve in the military. In honor of Sept. 11, I decided to interview students with partners in the military about their relationships and the challenges that accompany their long distance

love.Three women on campus, who are in

relationships with men in different branches of the military, responded and it seems there is a general consensus that military Long Distance Relationships (LDRs) are definitely harder than “civilian” LDRs.

Emily Rose, a sophomore, knows exact-ly how hard this distance can be in a military LDR because her relationship unfortunately fell apart.

“We broke up because he was working in the field for weeks on end and it was stressful and he didn’t think it was fair to me,” she said.

This is a common story for some relation-ships. The military takes up all of their time and sometimes communication is difficult or even non- existent.

One of the hardest parts, aside from lack of communication, is suspense and not knowing what is going on. By being just a girlfriend or boy-friend of the military, you do not have the right to know what happens to them if they get injured. In a military LDR, there are higher emotional stakes when one doesn’t hear from their signifi-cant other.

Samantha Pascavage, a freshman study-ing Pre-Physical Therapy, agrees, “The hardest part is not being able to talk every day, see them, and not know if he’s okay.” That is a major fear amongst the military significant other communi-ty, not knowing. This fear comes from not know-ing if he or she is okay, and they have to keep their orders private so you may not even know

when he or she has to leave you.These military LDRs have different ef-

fects on the significant other too. “It is hard to worry about what he’s feeling and how I can help him be happy and juggle school, a social life, and then add in the time difference and make every-thing work all together,” Sarah Roberts, fresh-man, explained.

In the military, the men and women do try hard to make it work, but they have a job to do and their significant others are supposed to be their rocks, a support system.

While “civilian” relationships are also in-tense, military LDRs take things to the next level.

“You have the fear of war and just getting hurt doing their duties,” said Pascavage. But no matter what level of intensity each relationship might be at, every military significant other can agree that homecomings are the best thing.

“Homecomings are the most special and best part,” said Roberts. “It gives you something to look forward to.”

No matter civilian or military, distance can be hard, but when your partner is in the military, you have the fear of never seeing them again. The relationships are built on a sturdy foundation of trust and communication. Roberts summed up Military LDRs in four words: “every second is cherished.”

If you are in a military relationship and need support or advice, or just want to have friends who are in the same position who can un-derstand, join the new Facebook page: Lock Ha-ven University Mil SOs.

Sleep soundly this semesterWith the semester having just begun, students are re-acclimating to

busy schedules filled with homework, exams, work and social activities. With so much to do and only so many hours in the day, it’s tempting to forgo sleep in order to study just a little bit longer or stay out just a little bit later. However, lack of sleep can lead to serious problems.

The Surgeon General recommends that college aged students get be-tween eight and nine hours of sleep a night. If a student as an 8 a.m. class that would mean going to sleep between 10 and 11 at night. For some this might not seem like a big deal, but the University of Georgia estimates that the average college student gets an average of six hours of sleep per night.

Living away from home for the first time gives students the opportu-nity to make their own rules. This often means going to sleep late at night. Sometimes it’s to get school work done but more commonly, its due to social pressures.

Ashley Ciocco, a sophomore special education major heeds the Sur-geon General’s warning and sleeps between nine and 10 hours a night. She may be well rested, but because she goes to sleep so early she feels like she’s missing out sometimes.

She said, “I miss out on the social aspects of hanging out at night, but I need to sleep so I can function in my early morning classes.”

Not getting enough sleep can negatively affect your school work. Dr. Philip Alapat, medical director of Harris Health Sleep Disorders Center writes, “Any prolonged sleep deprivation will affect your mood, energy level and ability to focus, concentrate and learn, which directly affects your aca-demic performance.”

Information is better retained in a brain that is well rested. Changing sleeping habits is not something that can be done easily. Dr. Alapat suggests taking small steps like avoiding caffeine within six hours of sleep to improve not only your sleep but your academic performance as well.

Staying up late to cram for a test seems like a great idea at the time, but studying while fighting to stay awake has the opposite effect. Without proper sleep not only is your health in danger but your grades are too.

The topic of same-sex marriage has been very much in the forefront of conversation and debate lately, which is a very good thing in my opinion. I firmly believe that the best path to the solution to every problem begins with open com-munication. Even though there seems to be a great divide between the two ends of the spectrum, at least it is no longer being ignored. We live in a country that is supposed to have been founded on the belief that we are all equal and as such deserve to enjoy the same rights and freedoms as everyone else. However, many people believe that this should only apply to the people who think and behave in the same way that they do. Why should anyone deserve to have the opportunity to marry the per-son that they choose, and have the pro-tection and benefits that go along with that for no other reason than that they are heterosexual? Who has the right to tell someone else that they don’t deserve to make decisions for or even be there with their partner if they are in the hospital, or that they don’t deserve to

have the tax benefits that go along with checking the box indicating married on their tax return, or the same parenting rights, family leave, judicial protections, insurance and inheritance benefits, or the long list of other things that most of take for granted? Everyone deserves the respect to be recognized as equally important, val-ued, and as deserving as everyone else even if the person they fall in love with just so happens to be of the same sex. In my opinion, a large portion of the people who are opposed to same-sex marriage quote religious reasons for their posi-tion; it’s in the Bible, it goes against God, etc. I respectfully believe that many of them are just good people who are standing up for what they believe in. However what bothers me is that many people like to pick and choose what parts of the Bible they want to follow. The people who claim that same-sex marriage goes against the sanctity of marriage many times are the same ones who are having affairs and getting divorced. In my opinion, if we all would spend more time looking to our own behaviors and pay a little more attention to how we treat the people around us, the world would be a much better place.

Sarah Eckrich Opinions [email protected] We have strived towards equality since this nation’s founding. While it was later rather than sooner, we grew to understand that all races and genders were equal. As we began to realize our dif-ferences were not inequities, we ended the practice of slavery and instated rights for minority groups. With that, we successfully decommodified human beings and tried to establish legislature ensuring such amoral practices would never again stain our nation. The year is now 2013 and the art of turning people into products has becoming a booming busi-ness. We are taught to sell ourselves, to or for one purpose or another. Likewise, we have also learned to buy each other. On one side of this razor blade of regres-sion, I’m thinking of a group so entrenched in our daily lives we seldom notice: politicians. So long as we have believed that we were striving for human-

ity, we have continued to ignore the high places we create in our minds for our political figures. Whether we regard all or only one as supreme hero or criminal, these people still become representa-tive of exponentially more than they are. Al Gore becomes Mother Nature for the left and a crazy cat-lady who instead shelters trees for the right. And God rest Steve Jobs’ soul because we did the same thing to him, turning him from CEO into iMan. Yet we may find solace in knowing that these are people whose influence comes from hard work and intelligence. It’s understandable how the person might be easily intertwined with his or her commodifiable idea. What baffles me is how someone like Snooki can become just as much a household name as Edison. It makes sense to listen to Gore speak and send some green group money. Why and how is it possible that a pint-sized walking spray-tan can hop on TV, get as plastered as possible, com-port herself with no modicum of tact or class, and start a revolution? Where we were once planting victory gardens for peace, now we’re fist-pumping

and funneling into Jersey’s beaches to soak up the debauchery. I guess no one notices or minds the blatant backwards trend produced by reality TV because no one seems to be losing any Constitutional rights. So long as it looks clean on the surface, we can go on ignoring the fact that people are getting rich by selling someone. We’re nothing but pawns eagerly devouring the human fodder we’ve been sold. More than many other crises, it’s easy to say this one isn’t important. After all, these people are signing up to be bought and sold, so never mind the backwards momentum. But if not for their sakes, take notice for your own. Why is your own life so lousy that you’re readily sold someone else’s? And is buying into that making any difference? Rather than voraciously consuming human beings and petty drama, we should remember that renaissance notion of new ideas and innovative dreams. Then again, if you enjoy being enslaved by your favorite commodified comrades on TV, be my guest.

Lock Haven University’s field hock-ey team won their third consecutive game on Sunday by knocking off win-less Georgetown in a dominating 5-0 victory.

The Lady Eagles raced out to an early 2-0 lead, scoring two goals in the game’s opening two minutes.

The first goal came from sophomore Steph Ebersole when she deflected in a shot from Taylor Kennedy. Shortly after, the team’s lone senior, Kelly Harsh, scored her first of two goals when she knocked in her own rebound.

“I thought we established the tem-po of the game for the beginning,” said Lock Haven head coach Pat Rudy. “Two goals in two minutes is pretty much unheard of in field hockey.”

Nearly eight minutes later, sopho-more, Brittney Hickernell, passed the ball in the circle to junior, Nakira Downes, who fired a back hander past Georgetown goalie, Rosalie Nelson, to take a 3-0 lead.

Five minutes before halftime, the Lady Eagles would score again when sophomore Brittany Predmore passed the ball through Nelson’s legs and

found Rachel Valentine wide open, who stroked it in for a 4-0 lead, which would carry into halftime.

Georgetown struggled offensively in the first half, only generating one corner and one shot on goal.

“[It was a] Real strong start, a start like that really knocks the wind out of their sails,” said Rudy.

In the second half, things quieted down. The only goal came on a penalty stroke from Harsh with 18:33 left to play.

“We do strokes all the time in prac-tice,” Harsh said. “I just thought about it in my head and went for the far right post.”

Since losing to No. 1 North Caro-lina, the Lady Eagles have yet to lose since winning three games in a row. In that stretch, they have outscored their opponents 9-2.

“We never stop. We never give up,” said Harsh. “If we see someone put their head down, we’re instantly on them and getting them to pick their head up,” Harsh said “We just never stop, it’s awesome.”

Rudy said, “We have a lot of depth on the team and the youth on the team has really energized us. We only have one senior and we start four freshmen. We’re really proud of the team’s dy-namics.”

The Lock Haven men’s soccer team may have been the last of the Bald Eagles to start their season, but they certainly made a big entrance after a 4-2 vic-tory against Goldey-Beacom Tuesday night at Hubert Jack Stadium.

24 seconds into the game, newcomer Troy Amspacher, scored his first goal in a Lock Haven jersey after receiv-ing a great pass from junior Trent Burris.

“Since this was my first college game, I was a little nervous, a little hesitant at the first half, but then [in] the second half I picked up some confidence,” said Ams-pacher about his college de-but.

2012 PSAC Freshman of the Year, Jacob Oldaker, increased their lead with 29 minutes left to play in the first half after a pass from sophomore Asher Klahold.

Goldey-Beacom struggled

on offense until the last 50 seconds of the first half when sophomore Daniel Bennett headed the ball into the goal for the Lightning after a cor-ner kick by graduate Kyle Lawrence.

“I thought we were going to run away with the game to start with,” said LHU head coach Doug Moore. “Then we gave a silly goal and I thought the last 20 minutes of the first half we lost it. They [Goldey-Bea-com] looked the better side for a while,” he added.

It was Amspacher who entered the second half with yet another strong start af-ter collecting a loose ball and firing it into the goal putting his team up 3-1 with 29 min-utes left in the game.

11 minutes later, an acci-dental header by Lock Hav-en into their own goal, would put the Lightning back into the game.

The Eagles sealed the game with a 12-yard goal from Klahold to finish 4-2 Lock Haven.

“Today was kind of a win is a win,” said Oldaker. “We

didn’t play the greatest, but we have two PSAC games this weekend so that will be huge for our overall season and hopefully we’ll come to-gether and play a little bit better. But we got the win, so we can’t complain.”

Moore played all six of his new freshman including Tyler Sablyak, who had two shot attempts during the game, and Brett Powell, who had one.

“They’re not going to de-velop with me sitting them on the bench so they’ve got to get game time,” Moore said about his decision to put in his new players. “You learn to play on the field; you don’t learn to play sitting on the bench,” he added.

“Although it was a fairly tight game, we’re going to keep bringing these young-sters on. That’s my job and I have every confidence in them,” Moore concluded.

Men’s soccer is back in action this weekend as they travel to Pitt-Johnstown on Friday (Sept. 13) at 4 p.m. and Seton Hill on Saturday (Sept. 14) at 3 p.m.

Eagles fall behind at Dolan Duals

The Lock Haven women’s cross country team opened their season with a tough loss to nation-ally ranked, Division I Penn State University at the 7th annual Dolan Duals at the Foundation Fields at Lock Haven.

The Nittany Lions are ranked No. 11 in the national polls for Division I and their goal this season is to win a national championship. It was a walk in the park for them as they beat Lock Haven University with a score of 15-40.

Lock Haven senior, Jessica McDonald, was the first Lady Eagle to cross the finish as she came in 12th with a time of 15:19.

McDonald was the only Lady Eagle to beat a Nittany Lion, defeating Penn State’s Gwenn

Porter by nine seconds.LHU head coach Aaron Russell was pleased

by McDonald’s effort. “I had her staying with Ashley Daniels, our second best runner, until there was like a half mile left in the race so they can push each other to finish. I think Jessica could’ve done better though.”

Russell has some high expectations for Mc-Donald this year considering she is a senior cap-tain. “She definitely has all-region awards on her mind and she knows that she can compete with the best runners in the country.”

Lock Haven returns to action on Saturday [Sept. 14] when they travel to Kutztown Univer-sity for the NCAA Division II challenge, which will feature the best teams across the Atlantic Region. Lock Haven then returns to action at the Foundation Fields on Saturday [Sept. 21] to host the LHU invitational.

The Lock Haven football team got more than the job done last Saturday against West Virginia State, defeating them 31-13 at Hubert Jack Stadium.

Lock Haven’s Zsone Olds made an incredible tackle on the opening kick-off.

Lock Haven football team stepped up their game from last season, in which they won only one game.

With 4:33 left in the first quarter, LHU took the lead 3-0 on a 28 yard field goal by kicker Alex Bovmerhi.

Early into the second quarter, the West Virginia State Yellow Jackets upped their offense and tied the game 3-3 after a field goal by kicker Josh Reuber.

Reuber had yet another field goal later in the second quarter, pulling his team ahead of LHU 6-3 and main-

tained their lead going into halftime.The third quarter the West Virgin-

ia State Yellow Jackets began to lag behind.

LHU’s quarterback, Dillon Maz-zoni, connected with Jesse Hoover for a 32 yard touchdown, just a couple minutes into the second half to take the lead 10-6.

It was Mazzoni’s first touchdown pass as a Bald Eagle.

The Yellow Jackets’ punter mis-handled the ball and was forced to kick it out the end zone avoiding a safety, but turned the ball back over to the Bald Eagles.

The Bald Eagles would score off the Yellow Jackets turnover.

Brader high stepped into the end zone for a touchdown off a right side pitch to give the Bald Eagles a 17-6 advantage over WVS.

Brader is just 107 yards away from 2,000 career rushing yards.

WVS experienced another bad snap on a punt in the third quarter which gave the Bald Eagles a great

field goal position, and Brader ran it in three yards for another touchdown to give Lock Haven a 24-6 command-ing lead.

The 24 point lead is the highest score the Bald Eagles have accom-plished since Sept. 26, 2006 in the game vs. Mansfield.

With under two minutes left in the third quarter, Mazzoni, with help from receiver James Wilbern, scored a 51 yard touchdown. This was Mazzo-ni’s second pass touchdown of his ca-reer, putting the Bald Eagles up 31-6.

In the fourth quarter, Todd Schorr intercepted the ball to give the Bald Eagles procession.

The WVS Yellow Jackets scored again with three minutes left in the game, bringing the score to 31-13, with the Bald Eagles leading by 18 points.

31-13 was the final score as the Lock Haven Football team cruised to victory.

Legacy. Understatement. Heartbeat.

These three words were said by Coach John Allen as he spoke on his former play-er.

As Lock Haven kicked off the ball on Saturday to their opponent West Virginia State, they had another play-er on their side. Instead of 11 players, they were joined by their late teammate Sky-ler Wool. Every snap, every catch, and every tackle Sky-ler had his imprints on the play.

Wool, a senior defensive lineman, passed away earlier this year on March 23, 2013 in an automobile accident, but his impact on the field will never leave.

Lock Haven started the second half trailing 6-3.

As the players came out of the locker room, they yelled, “Ninety-two, we’re doing it for Wool.”

And they did it for Wool.Lock Haven University

football team scored an un-answered 28 points in the third quarter to win their first season opener in eight years by a 31-13 final score.

Tyrek Morgan, a three year starter for the Eagles, explained how Skyler Wool will never be replaced.

“I played alongside Skyler for three years, and the com-plete dominance he brought every single play can not be matched. He is the best play-er I ever played along side with.”

Wool started all 11 games during his final season regis-tering 40 tackles, eight tack-les-for-a-loss, and four sacks.

His dominance on the field was completed with

athleticism, quickness, and strength. Wool became one of the most scouted players in the PSAC every single week.

According to local sourc-es, Wool had the intentions to further his football career with the NFL.

Many coaches, players, and the community wear wrist bands that read “RIP Skyler Wool #92 Never Flinched” to remind them of the type of leader Wool was on, and off of the field.

Some of Coach Allen’s words after Saturday’s win were: “Skyler’s legacy will never be forgotten. It will live on forever. He will always be apart of the Lock Haven Ea-gles.”

LHU strives for another win this Saturday against Clarion, as they go to war alongside 12th man Skyler Wool.
