paigning for years to get the university to restore funding

The administration announced plans
late Tuesday to begin phasing out sci-
ence and technology programs at the
VFKRRO��HOHFWLQJ�WR�EHFRPH�WKH�ÀUVW�RI�the PASSHE schools to focus exclu-
sively on programs in the human-
ities.
In a press release, the school
outlined a two-year plan to elim-
inate all non-humanities pro-
grams and majors, as well as
to help now displaced students
transfer out to other institutions
of higher learning.
It also means that as early as
the upcoming fall semester, students
will see massive rejuvenation efforts
ÀQDQFLDOO\�DQG�LQ�WHUPV�RI�PDQSRZHU�IRU�arts programs, including the theatre, dance
and philosophy programs.
The school has also announced intentions of institut-
ing more progressive models and methods of learning,
citing concerns that the liberal arts aspect of the college
experience at LHU has been bastardized in recent years
by budget cuts and the realignment – or misalignment – of
educational goals and expectations for students.
:KLOH�RIÀFLDOV�DUH�VWD\LQJ�RII� WKH�UHFRUG�RQ�WKH�PDW-ter, credible rumors have also been circulating that in an
effort to introduce a radically new learning environment,
the school intends to seek approval from the federal gov-
ernment to legally sanction the use of all psychoactive sub-
stances on campus.
Critics are appalled at the possibility that their tax
dollars might soon be funding what one has said will “dis-
solve into a bunch of degenerate, bleeding-hearts, tweaked
out on LSD, naked, running around the bell tower.”
In defense of such projections, similar rumors have
been heard saying the school would like to be-
come a clothing-optional learning environ-
ment.
Rumors also say that the school
would like to do away with the tradi-
tional grading system for assessment.
This will be the hardest change to
make, with the longest bureaucratic
process of all the rumored changes,
according to our research.
Without a formal standard of as-
sessment, the school could risk losing
its accreditation, a potentially prob-
lematic position for PASSHE’s new
and only humanities-centric school to
risk putting itself in.
Relatively few complaints have been
heard about the changes the school plans
to make from the affected non-humanities stu-
dents, who cite with resounding unanimity the col-
lege’s ineffectiveness in catering to science and technology
programs. Students and professors of the humanities are,
as one might expect, resoundingly thrilled.
More formalized plans are expected to be released to
the public sometime in early summer as faculty members
FRQYHQH�DQG�ÀQDOL]H�DQ\�XQPDGH�GHFLVLRQV��Students are encouraged to submit any ideas or
thoughts about the school’s new plans by way of the Eagle
Eye, which administrators feel is the best way for students
to get their ideas out into the LHU community.

With housing selection having !nished up earlier last month, most returning students are con!-dent in where they will be living on campus next semester. However, due to Woolridge being closed for renovations and High and Gross halls being closed inde!nitely, this leaves a shortage of space for the incoming fresh-men.
When asked how they were going to handle this, Associate Dean of Stu-dent and Residence Life, Dr. Amy Cotner responded “Russell Hall is still a !ne, beautiful building. We’ve decided to move the incoming freshmen there until Woolridge is done.”
Anyone who has walked past Russell Hall recently has seen the large dumpsters out front of the building, and the signs in the doors warning of Asbestos inside of the now plastic covered entrances and windows.
"ere have also been numerous reports of how the building is no longer
up to code.Medical and
Chemical expert, Dr. Sal Manela is quoted in saying “As-
bestos is an icky, dangerous thing that can cause cancer of the lungs, or even worse! I wouldn’t even
let my pet raccoon live where Asbestos has been found.”"is makes for many concerned parents and incoming freshmen for the
fall semester of 2015. Since the school has announced this decision, many incoming freshmen have had second thoughts about coming to Lock Haven University to further their education.
“"e Asbestos is almost fully gone. "ere is no need to worry about it. Besides, students have been living in Russell hall for many years without any problem,” Morter Brick, one of the construction crew members work-ing on clearing out Russell Hall, said.
However, other members of the crew have reported otherwise. “"is just isn’t a good place for some poor kids to live,” one of the con-
struction crew members who wished to stay anonymous has stated. Hopefully this highly controversial decision will not a#ect admissions
for future semesters.

Everyone loves to know all the juicy details before they even happen, right? No? Just me? Oh well, I’m sharing them anyway. Here are, in my opinion, the most awesomely unexpected plots twists to watch out for.
3. Orange Is the New BlackPrepare yourselves. All your favor-
ite jail birds are about to break free from the cage.
That’s right. Piper, Red and Crazy Eyes are
bustin’ loose. They’ve got their hearts set on freedom, and you won’t believe where it takes them.
Mexico? Canada? Right back into another jail cell?
I suppose I can keep some secrets.2. Marvel’s Agent CarterYou’re all in for a big surprise here,
as is Miss Peggy. Did you know her
hunky hubby Steve Rogers, aka Cap-tain America, has a twin brother?
Neither did she, until he made quite the appearance — staunch naked, meandering through her home.
Of course, Peggy being a strong, in-dependent woman who don’t take noth-in’ from no one, had a thing or two to say to him.
And I can’t wait until you hear it for yourselves.
1. How I Met Your MotherYep, you read that correctly. How I Met Your Mother is making
a comeback. We all thought it was over — even the original cast!
Turns out Shmosby’s son needed a father more concerned with sex edu-cation than with educating his kids on all the women he went through before their mother came along.
Now good ol’ Ted’s about to be a granddad. I wonder how many seasons it’ll take them to tell this story.
There is a new fashion trend sweeping across America. It is the look of the garbage bag dress. A garbage bag you might think eeww gross, but it actually is very useful. It not only looks super fashionable it also can be great in the
rain. Just think of the versatility! Not only can you look super freaking cute but you will also be dry. Another
great feature of this fashion trend is it can come in many colors or can be clas-sic black. When you want to go out for a night with your friends you can have a brightly colored dress. On the other hand you can wear black and look as
classic as Audrey Hepburn.Recycling is also always a major plus for the environment, so saving your
old garbage bags is a great idea. PS: Great for skirts too!!

Everyone, especially college students, has poor diets and don’t exercise nearly as little as they should. Once students get to college, we tend to try and exercise more and eat better but we usually fail at this.
Going to the gym every day? It’s so bad for you. Students should cut back on their gym going and really focus on staying in bed for hours on end and staying in their rooms watching TV. If it requires you to put on pants, you probably shouldn’t be doing it. Too much exercise can kill you.
Students also try to start eating better. Are you avoiding Bentley because they have bad food? Look again because Bentley just got better! They have more greasy and questionable food than ever before and I only see bright ho-rizons in our future for even better grub to eat. The food they serve can’t be better for an aspiring dieter.
And even if or when Bentley food doesn’t agree with your bowels, turn to junk food because that stuff packs on all the thigh and hip fat you don’t want to lose. Just stay in your room munching on an entire pack of Oreos or an entire bag of Doritos because that is the absolute best food you could ever eat.
If you focus on these new diet and exercise habits you’re sure to have a summer-ready body in no time! Yay for donuts!

This is the everyday life of Jafreese Barkley.
Distant cousin of Charles Barkley, he is known locally as Dirty Jafreese. Dirty J got this nickname after everyone saw his sick handles, sweet dimes and silky smooth jump shots. His name is modeled after his game: dirty. His nickname also bodes well for him because his father, Larry Barkley (who was nicknamed Filthy B because of his mad skills on the court). Unfortunately, for Filthy B, his career ended after his senior year in high school when ruptured both achilles, tore his MCL, PCL, both ACL’s and his UCL exploded. All while trying to land from a monster dunk.
Jafreese Barkley has lived a lot of places in his 18-year life. He was born in Goose Pimple Junction, Va, but by the age of three he demanded that his fam-ily move to Lick Fork, Va. Barkley has played games for teams in Toad Suck, Ark., Hungry Horse, Mont. and Possum Trot, Ky. Dirty Jafreese averages 32 PPG, 18 APG and 10 RPG, 8 SPG, 3 BPG and manages just one turnover per-

In his career, Dirty J has made 32 players cry on the court and has sent eight different opposing coaches into a severe depression. Dirty Jafreese’s head coach at Fork Sporks high school, Brian Quicksilver, lives in fear every day. Coach Nestor has said that he is not afraid of the challenge.
Dirty J has stated his excitement for joining the LHU basketball squad. “My goal is to go in there and blow everybody up. I’ma do ‘em dirty. I plan on mentally destroying every opponent in my face. And physically, I plan on shat-tering anyone’s ankles who challenges me. I plan on averaging at least 30 PPG and leading Lock Haven to an undefeated season,” Barkley said.
Dirty J continued to say, “I model my game after my favorite player grow-ing up: Luis Scola. His ferocity and intensity goes unmatched. My freshman year will be spent tearing up this wimpy DII conference. After my freshman year, I’ma split and straight up bounce to the NBA, son. If the NBA don’t take me, I’ma sell cars with my dad Filthy B down at Filthy B’s Auto and Tow. Dem Subaru’s nice.”

Jersey Shore, Pa. native Gould to return to LHUStephen A. Smith

After the announcement by the Lock Haven University athletics department of the hiring of ex-Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach Chip Kelly, there is now some more exciting news heading in the foot-ball program’s direction.
The university, in conjunction with the Nation-al Football League, announced on Saturday that Jersey Shore, Pa. native Robbie Gould will be re-turning to the area to be a graduate student at Lock Haven as well as be the kicker on the football team.
Gould attended Central Mountain High School in Mill Hall, just minutes away from the Lock Ha-ven campus. Gould also attended Penn State Uni-versity, where he was a freshman walk-on.
“It’s really nice to be coming back home,” said Gould. “I don’t get to come back to the area often, so it will be really welcoming to be back in Central Pa.”
Gould was an undrafted free agent in 2005. He made his NFL debut with the Chicago Bears in 2005, and he has been their kicker ever since.
The soon-to-be grad student at Lock Haven has FRQQHFWHG�RQ����SHUFHQW�RI�KLV�ÀHOG�JRDOV�LQ�KLV�WHQ�NFL seasons, hitting 243-284. He has hit 94 total ÀHOG�JRDOV�IURP�������\DUGV��LQFOXGLQJ����IURP����59 yards.
+LV�ORQJHVW�FDUHHU�PDGH�ÀHOG�JRDO�LV����\DUGV�
In his second NFL season in 2006, Gould put up a total of 143 points by himself with the Bears.
“The NFL has been an excellent journey,” he said. “The Bears have set me up for this moment from day one. I always knew I’d be returning to Lock Haven.”
“After speaking with some of the students, most notably Christopher Sherry, I know that Bentley is a happening place, and that really excites me.”
Gould, 33, was Sherry’s babysitter when he was in elementary school. Sherry is a current sopho-more at Lock Haven, and was an all-state wrestler in his junior and senior years at Blue Mountain High School in the Skook.
“I’ll never be able to thank Robbie enough for all of those long drives to the Skook when I was little. We spent countless hours together, playing UNO and Monopoly, and teaching each other about foot-ball and wrestling,” said Sherry.
“When I was in second grade, I taught him some wrestling moves, and he taught me how to throw a football, which is still a skill I have not yet mastered.”
Gould noted that he most vividly remembers teaching Sherry how to tie his shoes when he was in third grade.
“It was the most amazing feeling, teaching a young kid a true life-skill,” said Gould. “I just couldn’t believe that a third grader didn’t know how to tie his shoes.”
Both said how excited they are to be reunited with each other in the fall. They both haven’t seen
each other since 2003.Gould will hit campus in June, just in time for
summer workouts. He is expected to be in tip-top shape when he arrives.
“I can’t wait to be back with Robbie,” said Sher-ry. “Guy is a true stud.”
Gould will wear No. 3 at Lock Haven, in hon-or of the amount of losses Sherry had in his high school wrestling career. Sherry compiled a 133-3 record while at Blue Mountain.
“This is the best feeling in the world,” said Gould.
“I’m ready to take Lock Haven to the promised land.”

LHU announces hiring of Chip KellyJayson MoyerCutest Sports Editor EverMPR\HU#LORYHMXVWLQJLOOÀOODQ�FRP
What a past couple days it has been here in The Haven.
Following former head coach John Allen’s res-ignation in February, the Lock Haven University athletic department announced the hiring of ex-Phil-adelphia Eagle’s head coach Chip Kelly on Monday morning.
A press conference is set for Friday, April 3.Kelly noted that his decision to leave the Eagles,
where he has been head coach for the past two sea-sons, was not an easy one, but that college was al-ZD\V�WKH�ULJKW�ÀW�IRU�KLP�
´,�KDYH�DOZD\V�KDG�D�VSHFLÀF�SODFH�IRU�WKH�FROOHJH�game in my heart,” said Kelly.
“When the Lock Haven job opened up, I knew that this was the right place for me. I can’t wait to hit up Wal-Mart when I get on campus.”
Kelly’s head coaching career began at the Uni-versity of Oregon, where he was hired in 2009. Kelly went 46-7 overall as the head coach of the Ducks, in-cluding 3-2 in bowl games.
Chip was named head coach of the year in 2010 by six different news outlets.
Kelly compiled a 20-12 record as head coach of the Eagles. After a dismal season in 2012, Kelly led WKH�(DJOHV�EDFN�WR�WKH�SRVWVHDVRQ�LQ�KLV�ÀUVW�\HDU�DV�Eagles’ head coach in 2013.
,Q�������WKH�(DJOHV�ÀQLVKHG�ZLWK�DQ�LGHQWLFDO�UH-cord of 10-6, but failed to make the playoffs.
The knock on Kelly is that he hasn’t always been able to win the big games. He has fallen short in al-most every big NFL game, except for one, which was in 2014 on Thanksgiving at the Dallas Cowboys.
His coaching style was not a known commodity around the NFL world until Kelly took over as head coach of the Eagles. His up-tempo, no-huddle, and fast style of play was more or less picked up by more NFL teams in 2014.
Following the 2014 season, Eagles’ owner Jeffrey Lurie decided to give Kelly full roster control of the Eagles. The move demoted then-general manager Howie Roseman, promoting Chip to oversee all play-er personnel decisions.
Kelly led the Eagles in their most wild offseason in franchise history, as he traded away franchise rushing leader LeSean McCoy, while also trading away starting quarterback Nick Foles.
Chip is also vastly regarded for his knowledge of sports science and nutrition, which he brought to the Eagles. He even had his players wear sleep monitors while they sleep at night.
His up-tempo style of practices sometimes weren’t highly regarded in the NFL, but should be welcomed to the Lock Haven football program.
He was known as a great recruiter in college, and that is something that the Lock Haven community is hoping he can bring to the program.
Chip will bring along ex-Alabama head coach Nick Saban to be his defensive coordinator, as well as ex-Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien to be his offensive coordinator. They now have three of the best recruiters in the country.
Kelly will earn $3.2 million in each year of his ÀYH�\HDU�FRQWUDFW��WKDW�LQFOXGHV�LQFHQWLYH�ERQXVHV�IRU�an undefeated season and a PSAC championship.
“It’s a sizable paycut than in Philly,” said Kelly. “But there are perks, such as Starbucks and the mov-ies that you can rent out in the library.”
“Rudy is my favorite.”The Lock Haven University football program is
in need of a great salesman and a good recruiter, and Kelly should be able to sell the great food at Bentley better than anyone else in the country.
Its go time, Bald Eagle Nation, and ole’ Chipper is going to have this football program bouncing and ready to play come the fall.
“I’m ready to turn this football program into a contender,” said Chip. “It’s going to be a fun ride.”
This is the time to embrace a phenomenon that is rarely seen in Division-II college football. We have the opportunity for something special as a universi-ty, and we need to rally around Chocolate Chip Kelly and the football program.
