Studies show that LHU isn’t as diverse as it claims to be in their admissions literature.
“The great thing about Lock Haven University is getting to know people who are different than you are - people of different races, different cultures and different beliefs. Un-derstanding our differenc-es helps make us better people and creates a better world to live in.”
According to LHU’s Institutional Research, in 2013, 86 percent of the student body was white, and only 9.6 percent were either African American or Hispanic. This is not shocking though. In the last 10 years, the minori-ty population has only in-creased 5.6 percent.
To put this into per-spective, in the last 12 years, the white stu-dent population has been steady - averaging about 4,500 per year - while their African American counter-parts have increased from 135 in 2002 to 389 in 2013.
One might suggest that the increase of minorities on campus is a good thing, however students feel like this is not enough.
“I always feel out of place here. Most times, I am the only African Amer-ican in my classes. In some social gen-ed classes where we talked about black cul-ture, all of my classmates and even the professors would look to me to share my ‘black’ experiences.
It gets really awkward,” Jasmine Johnson, a junior health science major, said.
Some students think the lack of diversity mir-rors real world experienc-es.
“Being at Lock Haven I feel like I have a better understanding of the real world. Most businesses are predominately white, therefore my being here is teaching me how to maneu-ver in a business where ev-eryone looks different from me,” Olivia Williams, a se-nior business major, said.
Other students long for more diversity at Lock Ha-ven University; they wish for more people of color.
“I wish there were
more students here that look like me. I wish there were more Hispanics and Native Americans. I wish Lock Haven were more colorful. In a majority of my classes there are only three or four people of col-or,” Leslie Miller, a senior nursing major, said.
Minority students have an issue with the lack of diversity on campus. One problem could be that the retention rates for minori-ty students are consider-ably low compared to their
white peers. For example, from 2012
to 2013 the retention rate for black students dropped from 124 to 106. When it comes to the four-year term only about 14 per-cent of graduates in 2009 were black or Hispanic compared to whites, which made up just over 32 per-cent of graduates.
Kenny Hall, director of multicultural affairs, ex-plains the diversity rate and the retention rate.
“The Majority of the African American and His-panic students that come to Lock Haven are recruit-ed from inner cities like Philly. They already have three strikes against them: financial stability, social adjustments and academic setbacks.”
He said that minority students often come from low performing schools and they typically start off with lower SAT scores than their white counter-parts. The lack of academ-ic support coupled with the tremendous social adjust-ments and financial issues are the reason why the re-tention rate is so low.
It’s clear minority stu-dents are negatively affect-ed by the lack of diversity. If Lock Haven wants to con-tinue positive growth in the acceptance and retention of students than they are go-ing to have to work harder on providing social and eco-nomic recourses for minority students.
Lock Haven Univer-sity students have access to various computer labs throughout campus. Al-though these computers are available, some of the computer labs don’t al-ways have working com-puters.
According to students around campus, they find all of the computers very helpful. Due to the various computer labs around campus there is usually an open comput-er to work on.
“The computers are kept current because ev-erything, including up-dates, are done virtual-ly,” said Jeff Walker, the district systems manager of the Information Tech-nology Center.
A majority of the com-puter labs had a software update over the summer.
“It’s nice having com-puters for student use because as a student working in the Informa-tion Technology Center we get a lot of complaints
about our wireless sys-tem, Cisco Nac,” said ju-nior Brent Juster. “The desktop computers are good to always have as a backup.”
Walker said that the Robinson computer lab has been giving students the most difficulties. They haven’t been updat-ed for six years, but the Information Technology Center is planning to re-place them between the fall and the spring se-mester.
“I had a class in Rob-inson and my assigned computer would never work,” said junior Allison Glasky. “I wasn’t able to work with my group be-cause I always had to find a working computer.”
The Information Technology Center tries to replace the comput-ers every five years to keep them up to date. Af-ter the computers reach their five-year term they are put in the recycling.

Living on or off campus? You decide. Living off campus is a dream most freshman students have before they even get to their residence halls. However, is the cost of living on campus more affordable for students, or is moving off campus a better option?
LHU has two different student housing op-tions located on campus that students can choose from. Incoming freshman don’t have much of a FKRLFH�IRU�ZKHUH�WKH\�ZDQW�WR�ÀUVW�OLYH��7KH\�DUH�dispersed into LHU’s most recent residence hall, the Fairview Suites, as well as the original build-ings, Woolrich, McEntire, North and Smith Halls.
If you are a sophomore or older you have the option to move residence halls, go to Cam-pus Village or to go off campus. According to LHU’s student housing website, students pay up to $5,600 for a two-person room in order to live in the residence halls for a full academic year.
Campus Village and the Fairview Suites are more expensive options, going from $6,138 for a two-person apartment in CV to $7,576 for a two-person apartment in the Suites. Students can also select a single room for either CV or Fairview - however, prices increase to more than $8,000.
“One of the reasons that on campus housing is so expensive is because it is all a one time fee for that academic year. On campus housing also offers more opportunities for student engagement, as well as a higher classroom success rate, higher graduation rate, and students are more involved with extracurricular activities,” Amy Cotner, as-sociate dean of students said.
While this is great news for incoming fresh-man, it still doesn’t make the high prices any more

Anything you want to do whether it’s turn on the lights or take a shower is accounted for. Of course most real estate agencies include some of these utilities in the monthly bill but there are still things like electric, or heat that needs to have a separate payment. Standard two person apart-
ments off campus average around $800 a month, DFFRUGLQJ�WR�7UXOLD�FRP�D�ZHEVLWH�IRU�FRPSDULQJ�local housing options.Split that between yourself and a roommate and you are looking at $400 a month, and that’s just for rent. Most real estate agencies or landlords also require tenants to sign full one-year leases. Unlike student housing where you are only paying for an academic year. “I moved into a house with four other people my sophomore year of school. I was amazed at how much money I started to save because I could micromanage all of my payments as opposed to one. Although, it does make it harder to stay involved with on campus activities,” Mitch Vandegrift, a senior criminal justice major, said.
It’s clear that living on- or off-campus offers two different opportunities for students attending university. If money is not as much of a worry for you, then on-campus housing is going to give you the best college experience possible. Although, if \RX�DUH�ZLOOLQJ�WR�PDNH�VRPH�VDFULÀFHV�WR�VDYH�some extra money a month, then off-campus hous-ing is the way to go.

Do you have a lot of halloween candy left over? There are many things you can do with it instead of just throwing it out in a few months when it gets
stale. All kinds of treats can be made with the leftover chocolate from your Halloween bucket.
1. Bake cookies A regular chocolate chip cookie recipe would be easy, but instead of mak-
ing it with chocolate chips throw a few of your leftover mini Hershey’s bars in them. This can make a great chocolate chunk cookie. M&M’s and KitKats
could be used as a replacement.
2. Make a candy ice cream cone This is a great way to spice up your favorite ice cream. Take any type
of cone you would prefer and dip the top in melted chocolate. In bowl crush or break up your favorite kind of candy, then dip the end with the melted
chocolate in it. Let it harden. Once it dries completely scoop your favorite kind of ice cream into the cone. This treat is great for every candy types, not
an easy way to make your candy disappear. Take any kind of cake or cupcake mix and scoop the batter into cupcake tins. Before placing them in the oven, place a piece of the candy inside it.

I have heard it said about pizza that even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good. There is a reason for that and it is chemistry. That’s right; the chemistry of the basic structure of pizza is why most of us love the hot deliciousness we can get at seven different places here in Lock Haven. The dough is simple HQRXJK�ZLWK�LWV�EDVH�FRPSRQHQWV�RI�ÁRXU��VDOW��yeast and warm water although it is the elasticity DQG�EXEEOHV�IRUPHG�E\�WKH�\HDVW�WKDW�DGG�WKH�ÀUVW�complexity to our enjoyment of pizza.
The second is the sauce. Sure there are a mul-titude of sauces for pizza but the most popular by far is the tomato and that is because of their acid-ity. Tomatoes sit at about 4.0 to 4.6 on the pH scale which leads us to our next lovely additive to a basic pizza, cheese. If you don’t know already, you get cheese by adding
an acid to milk and it separates the proteins. Cheeses are made by separat-ing the casein proteins and then adding rennin to the give the cheese
more stability.This all seems simple enough but the real chemistry happens
as soon as we add this circle of goodness to the oven. The heat IURP�WKH�RYHQ�OLTXHÀHV�WKH�IDWV�LQ�WKH�FKHHVH�DQG�WKH�FDOFLXP�
ions in the cheese hold the casein proteins together giving mozzarella its signature stringiness.

This is also called the Browning Effect and happens most notably on the cheese and around the edges of the
crust.The crust, due to its elasticity and composition, remains
softer and less cooked underneath the sauce and that adds another layer to the tactile experience of eating pizza. So as
we can see, pizza is a delectable lesson in chemistry and how these reactions create a food universally enjoyed by people of many
cultures. (Information from the American Chemical Society)Photo Courtesty of www.reddit.com

We believe strongly in the responsibility of a newspaper to deliver
unbiased news from an unbiased source. That being said, we also be-
lieve that it is our duty as journalists to speak up when compelled by
the issues to do so.
Everyone on our campus had a personal stake in this week’s elec-
tion. As actors on the stage of higher education—if nothing else—we
have been assaulted by the policies of Tom Corbett. Many of us were
here a few years ago and participated in protests against Gov. Cor-
bett’s debilitating cuts to funding for higher education.

That being said, we are reveling in Corbett’s historic defeat.

enacted. At the same time, he managed to lose support in every demo-
graphic of voter across the commonwealth. In his four years as gover-
nor, he managed to lose support in every group of voters. That’s pretty
substantial.
Changes are in store for the commonwealth under the leadership
of new governor-elect Tom Wolf. The precocious, bald-headed business-
man has been accused of a lot, mostly by Corbett’s campaign. Amongst
the most popular of these allegations is the claim that Wolf has a secret

He was considered all-world by many. Hackenberg committed to Bill O’Brien and Penn State before the sanctions were pounded down on Penn State’s football program, and Hackenberg stuck with his word to come to Penn State.
The things he did in his fresh-man campaign under O’Brien were XQEHOLHYDEOH�� � +H� ZDV� \RXQJ�� EXW�he was still one of the best pro-style quarterbacks in the country by the time the season ended.
Hackenberg threw for 2,955 yards, 20 touchdowns and 10 inter-ceptions en-route to being named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year. He looked like a total champ playing for Bill O’Brien.
Christian Hackenberg was on top of the world. And to think – he did this with just coming in during the summer. He had not played in a Blue and White game, he was not there for the offseason, he was just there for the summer and then the season started.
+RZHYHU�� WKLV� \HDU� KDV� EHHQ� D�
completely different story. Under new head coach James Franklin, Hackenberg has taken a giant step backwards.
There are a few reasons as to ZK\�,�EHOLHYH�WKLV�KDV�KDSSHQHG��DQG�here’s why.
Hackenberg was perfect for Bill O’Brien’s offense. O’Brien’s offense ZDV�YHU\�SUR�VW\OH��DQG�+DFNHQEHUJ�is a pro-style quarterback. O’Brien XVHG� KLV� UXQQLQJ�JDPH� YHU\� HIIHF-WLYHO\��ZKLFK�KHOSHG�VHW�XS�WKH�JUHDW�deal of play-action passing O’Brien had in his playbook.
This year, Penn State’s running-game has been non-existent. They HYHQ� KDYH� WKH� VDPH� WKUHH�� YHU\� FD-pable, running-backs that they had ODVW� \HDU�� � +RZHYHU�� DOO� WKUHH� RI�WKRVH�UXQQLQJ�EDFNV�KDYH�EHHQ�XVHG�FRPSOHWHO\� GLIIHUHQW�� � 7KH\� KDYH� QR�running-game that will set up the pass-game. That brings me to my next point.
3HQQ� 6WDWH·V� RIIHQVLYH� OLQH� KDV�been atrocious. Hackenberg has been getting pounded, pounded, pounded and then pounded some more. The sanctions that were placed upon Penn State are starting to take ef-IHFW���,�DP�YHU\�ZRUULHG�DERXW�+DFN-enberg’s health, especially after some of the hits he took last weekend against Maryland.
Next year, Penn State has three IRXU�VWDU�IUHVKPDQ�RIIHQVLYH�OLQHPHQ�coming in. One of them is a 6’8”, 308
SRXQG� RIIHQVLYH� WDFNOH�� � 6R� PD\EH��just maybe, that will help solidify 3HQQ�6WDWH·V�RIIHQVLYH�OLQH�ZRHV�
Next, Penn State just doesn’t KDYH� WKH� UHFHLYHUV�� � 7KH\� KDYH� QR�dominant weapons that can catch the ball. DaeSean Hamilton leads the team in receptions and yards, KRZHYHU��,�EHOLHYH�KH�LV�WDUJHWHG�WRR�much.
Geno Lewis is nowhere to be found. Jesse James, a 6’7” tight end, LV�DOVR�QRZKHUH�WR�EH�IRXQG���7KH\�À-nally threw James the ball on Satur-GD\� DJDLQVW�0DU\ODQG�� DQG� KH� HYHQ�reeled in a touchdown.
3HQQ�6WDWH�GRHV�QRW�KDYH�DQ�$O-len Robinson this season – a guy that will go up and catch balls and is will-ing to take the pounding just to make the reception. He helped Hackenberg a lot last season, and they are miss-ing the big-play element this season.
Lastly, and what I think is the biggest reason, is that Hackenberg is not being put in a position to suc-ceed. I mean a couple things by that.
One, I don’t think throwing the ball 50 times a game with Hacken-berg is the way to go. With O’Brien, WKH�RIIHQVH�ZDV�YHU\�EDODQFHG���+DFN-enberg would throw 25-40 times a JDPH��EXW�HYHU\�ZHHN��D�3HQQ�6WDWH�UXQQLQJ�EDFN�ZRXOG�KDYH�������FDU-ries. Hackenberg is racking up the yardage again this season, but his passing-attempts are already at 318 through eight games. He had 392
last season.Second, going back to my point
about Jesse James, Penn State does QRW� XVH� WKHLU� WLJKW� HQGV� HIIHFWLYHO\���That is something that O’Brien ex-celled in. Kyle Carter, along with James, are lost in the woods, and GRQ·W�UHDOO\�KDYH�D�GRPLQDQW�UROH�LQ�this offense.
Last, Hackenberg is not mobile. He is being forced into a lot of roll-out passes that are not play-action passes, and he does not excel in mak-ing plays outside of the pocket. I think that this just leads to him get-WLQJ�SRXQGHG�HYHQ�PRUH��
To sum it all up, this offense is QRW�WKH�ULJKW�ÀW�IRU�+DFNHQEHUJ���,W·V�that simple.
Personally, I think that Hack-enberg will be an outstanding NFL quarterback – with the right system.
Penn State also has two four-star �·�µ� UHFHLYHUV� FRPLQJ� LQ� QH[W� \HDU��as well as a 6’4” four-star athlete. 7KH\�GR�QRW�KDYH�VL]H�DW�UHFHLYHU��VR�hopefully than can also solidify their SUREOHPV�DW�WKH�UHFHLYLQJ�SRVLWLRQ�
