Students could also decorate masks with just about anything imaginable. The music set the mood of

creepiness, but also lightened things up a little with music from Rocky Horror Picture Show, which got students dancing and laughing. Then it was time to enter the haunted house.

According to interviews and data provided to the AP, the number of patients admitted to the 36 Warrior Transition Units and nine other communitybased units jumped from about 5,000 in June 2007, when they began, to a peak of nearly 12,500 in June 2008.

The units provide coordinated medical and mental health care, track soldiers' recovery and provide broader legal, financial and other family counseling.

They serve Army active duty and reserve soldiers.

WEST HAVEN—Cookies and goodies and screams, oh my! Walking to Bartels on Halloween night brought a sense of excitement with the only explanation being SCOPE’s haunted house.

Remembering years past, my roommate and I decided to get to the Echlin Dining Hall extremely early so we were the first ones ready to be scared.

Although there seemed to have been some last minute running around, the music, cookies, and candy were soon set up and ready to be enjoyed. The twists put on the cookies and the candy were great. The cookies could be decorated with orange frosting and black

We were lead outside and into Bartels through a side entrance. I must admit, this first room scared me the most. Completely dark with things glowing throughout the room, our guide left us to wander throughout the room and try to figure out how to escape it. It was about a minute later when we noticed at least one person walking through the room. We tried to follow the glowing footprints on the floor, but they lead in circles and into the walls. The entire sojourn in the darkness lasted only about three minutes (at maximum), but it was nonetheless disconcerting to have no idea where we were.

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky.— In a rush to correct reports of substandard care for wounded soldiers, the Army flung open the doors of new specialized treatment centers so wide that up to half the soldiers currently enrolled do not have injuries serious enough to justify being there, The Associated Press has learned.

Army leaders are putting in place stricter screening procedures to stem the flood of patients overwhelming the units — a move that eventually will target some for closure.

New Treatment Centers Overflow

con’t from page 1

battlefield injuries while thousands of others had minor problems that did not require the complex new network of case managers, nurses and doctors, according to Brig. Gen. Gary H. Cheek, the director of the Army's warrior care office.

The overcrowding was a "self-inflicted wound," said Cheek, who also is an assistant surgeon general.

"We're dedicating this kind of oversight and management where, truthfully, only half of those soldiers really needed this."

Cheek said it is difficult to tell how many patients eventually will be in the units.

But he said soldiers currently admitted will not be tossed out if they do not meet the new standards.

Instead, the tighter screening will weed out the population over time.

"We're trying change it back," to serve patients who have more serious or multiple injuries that require about six months or more of coordinated treatment, he said.

By restricting use of the coordinated care units to soldiers with more complex, long-term ailments, the Army hopes in the long run to close or consolidate as many as 10 of the transition units, Cheek said during an interview in his Virginia office near the Pentagon.

In the past, a soldier with a torn knee ligament would have surgery and then go on light duty, such as answering phones, while getting physical therapy. But last Oc-

tober, the Army began allowing soldiers with less serious injuries such as that bad knee to go to the warrior units.

The expansion came in the wake of reports about poor conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., including shoddy housing and bureaucratic delays for outpatients there.

Brigade commanders began shipping to the transition centers anyone in their unit who could not deploy because of an injury or illness. That burdened the system with soldiers who really did not need case managers to set up their appointments, nurses to check their medications and other specialists to provide counseling for issues such as stress disorders.

The Army's goal now, as spelled out in a recent briefing given to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, is to screen out those who do not need the expanded care program, shifting them to regular medical facilities at their military base or near their homes.

Jon Soltz, an Iraq war veteran and chairman of VoteVets.org, said the Pentagon is making a fair argument. He acknowledged that some soldiers with less serious injuries might not need the units' services.

But he said commanders need to be able to move their soldiers who cannot deploy due to an injury to the units because that is the only way they can get a replacement before going to war. Otherwise, the brigade goes to battle

without the forces needed.

"The larger concern here is that the problem that is driving this is the manpower problem," said Soltz.

"The Army is overextended. We don't have enough guys."

It is vital, he said, that the medical system care for all the solders who need help and that any changes should not threaten that care.

Raymond F. DuBois, a former acting undersecretary of the Army and manpower adviser under then-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, said the units address "a problem that was not made aware at the highest levels" and do it well. But he has worried for months that the units were overstretched.

"Guess what? They did it so well everybody wants in," said DuBois, now an adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Cheek stressed that the new more stringent screening process will not deny care to soldiers in need or limit the treatment units to those with battle wounds.

"We don't really care about the source of the wound, illness or injury. We really care about the severity of the wound, illness or injury," said Cheek.

"So if it's a severe, very acute condition that needs rehabilitation and a lot of management and oversight, regardless of where it comes form, that soldier needs to be in this program."

The latest data shows that it is working: The patient load is starting to inch

The Charger Bulletin | November 5, 2008

down, from the peak of 12,478 in June to less than 11,400 in October.

Cheek estimates that the screening process will reduce the number to between 8,000 and 10,000.

As those numbers come down, the Army is also reviewing which units get more use. The list of potential closings include warrior transition units at Fort Rucker and Redstone Arsenal, in Alabama; Fort Leavenworth in Kansas; Fort Dix in New Jersey; and Fort Irwin in California.

According to Army data, many of them either have only a dozen or so patients now, or can be combined with another nearby facility.

At Fort Campbell in Kentucky, however, more than 600 soldiers are in the treatment program. Staff there are bracing for a surge of patients when the three 101st Airborne Division brigades start returning home in the coming months.

Gen. Peter Chiarelli, Army vice chief of staff, toured the unit in late October. He gathered more than two dozen staff around a long table to hear their concerns about how the program is operating. Afterward he marveled that they talked not about their own administrative complaints, but about specific problems they were trying to solve for their patients.

In a small office down the hall, Lisa Gaines was blunt about what the unit meant to her.

"It's done wonders for our family," said the mother of five.

By Associated Press Writers 'HSM3' maintains its box-office grades with $15M LOS ANGELES—Hollywood made audiences repeat senior year.

Disney's "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" hauled in $15 million to remain the top movie for the second straight weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Starring Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens in a big-screen sequel to the Disney Channel TV movies, "High School Musical 3" raised its 10day total to $61.8 million.

Debuting at No. 2 with $10.7 million was the Weinstein Co. comedy "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks as pals who do a skin flick to dig themselves out of debt.

Lionsgate's horror sequel "Saw V," the latest tale about psychokiller Jigsaw, slipped from second place to third with $10.1 million, lifting its 10-day total to $45.8 million.

Expanding nationwide after a weekend in limited release was Clint Eastwood's "Changeling," which took in $9.4 million to finish at No. 4. The Universal Pictures drama stars Angelina Jolie as a single mother victimized by police who botched the investigation into her missing son.

Freestyle Releasing's "The Haunting of Molly Hartley" debuted with $6 million to come in at No. 5. The movie stars Haley Bennett as a traumatized teen who finds fresh terror at her new school.

"RocknRolla" — the latest from Madonna's soon-to-be-ex-husband, Guy Ritchie — was a dud as it expanded from limited to nationwide release. The crime romp featuring Gerard Butler and Thandie Newton took in just $1.8 million, finishing well outside the top 10. Madonna and Ritchie announced their separation last month.

Police: Bombings kill 7, wound at least 33 in Iraq BAGHDAD—A string of bombings killed seven people and wounded at least 33 others on Monday, including a senior Oil Ministry official, authorities said.

Six people died when two bombs — one of them hidden in a trash can — exploded in Tahariyat square in central Baghdad during the morning rush hour. Police said 21 people were wounded, including 10 policemen and two women.

The explosions caused extensive damage to shops lining the square in the predominantly Shiite eastern side of Baghdad.

Also on Monday, Abdul-Sahib Salman Qutub, one of three senior undersecretaries in the Oil Ministry, suffered minor injuries when a bomb went off at his house as he left for work, ministry spokesman Assem Jihad said.

Jihad said Qutub's driver was seriously injured in the attack.

the pillow, but all of the bigger prizes were worth winning.

Two of the contestants chose to take the deal that the banker gave out while the other two chose to go all the way to the final case, with differing degrees of success.

One of the contestants won Post-it notes while the other won the Nintendo DS. The show did hit a slight rough patch when an audience member noticed that the prizes in the cases followed a pattern during the fourth, and final, round. It is a shame that someone figured out the pattern, but even more of a nuisance when they brought down the

level of enjoyment for everyone else in the auditorium. Despite this incident I believe that the Gaming Club did an amazing job with every aspect of the show.

I was a little upset come giveaway time as the advisor for the Gaming Club neglected to pull my ticket number from the bucket, but it was still great to feel that I was able to win something even though I was not chosen to be on stage.

Sadly I was one number away from winning the digital camera, but my RA won so at least I can enjoy the continued satisfaction of bugging him about it.

If possible in writing, I would like to

give a standing ovation to the ladies of the 5,6,7,8 Dance Team. They were all beautiful and I know that I never could have stood on a ramp in heels for as long as they did. They were the perfect models for UNH’s rendition of Deal or No Deal.

This event was a great success and even if they didn’t win anything, students left Dodds auditorium with smiles on their faces. I sincerely hope that the Gaming Club plans to put on this event in the future because if everything thought it was good this time around, I can only imagine what is in store the next time.

Want to communicate with a native speaker?

Seeing a problem after midterms? Well we can help you now!

Thanks to the International Student’s Office and the new Modern

Languages department there is a program of student tutors that can help.

Many of these students, though not all, are native speakers of the languages they are helping with. This is entirely studentrun and done on an as-needed basis, but the best part is its totally FREE. You don’t have to spend a thing

to get help from students like yourself!

The best part about this program is that it works with the schedules of the tutor and student directly. They set up the times themselves as well as the place, no more worrying about missing a tutor’s office hours.

Also this is not just for undergrads, graduate students and teachers as well can come get a refresher by speaking to someone else or just some help in that extra class they took on. As of right now all materials used

will either be tutor’s personal collection or donations of previous year’s language books (so if you know someone who couldn’t sell a language book tell them to come to me!)

Even though I am sick and tired of hearing about Obama and McCain all over the news and during my TV commercials, I will have to say that it has been an interesting political battle.

We will, for the first time in our history, have either a black

Looking Beyond the Presidential Race

As of the printing of this issue of The Charger Bulletin, it is uncertain as to whether Senator Barack Obama or Senator John McCain is the newly elected president of the United States. Likewise, it is uncertain as to whether Question One in Connecticut and Proposition Eight in California passed on each state’s ballots. Regardless of their outcome, I feel it necessary to still mention these two crucial pieces of legislation.

Proposition 8, voted on in the state of California, is a constitutional amendment to the state of

California’s constitution. Proposition 8, if passed, would change the constitution of California to eliminate the right of samesex couples to marry, regardless of the fact that it was deemed legal by courts this past year. In fact, the California Supreme Court unequivocally stated that gay couples have a constitutional right to marry under their state’s constitution.

Proposition 8 would go a step further, both ridding these citizens of their marriages and claiming marriage to be only “between a man and a woman.”

Closer to home, Connecticut’s Ques-

Some of these even include the American Civil Liberties Union, Love Makes a Family, Gay & Lesbian Advocates and Defenders, Planned Parenthood, CT Women’s Education and Legal Fund, and the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists.

This mass of opponents are afraid that, even though Connecticut just became the third state to legalize gay marriage, the constitutional convention would reverse this new law. Additionally, pro-choice groups and other civil rights

groups are worried that they will be attacked and muzzled if Question 1 is voted with an overwhelming support.

While these measures may or may not have passed by the time of this printing, there is certainly something to be said by the fact that these are actually coming up to be voted on. And regardless of which side won this past Election Day, it is part of democracy that the losing side considered this only a battle. This will come up again: for better, or for worst.

displays that your ego needs to be fed and you’re giving into fears concocted by the media.

Companies purposely display their products in a specific light to subvert your self-confidence. The commercials aren’t there only to encourage you to purchase their products, but to sew fear. Think about it, the commercials we all witness almost always have attractive people featured in them or portray an ideal situation that would never have occurred if you didn’t own or consume “X” product.

Take for instance hair dyes for middle-aged men. They all convey the message that grey hair is unsightly and unattractive, and by

On Saturday, Oct. 25, I had the pleasure– or so I thought–of going to my first UNH Hockey game, which was great to see so many students and faculty at the ice rink supporting our team.

My joyful hockey experience was soon turned upside down, however, when opposing team Rhode Island College was announced. After each Rhode Island College player’s name was announced, UNH fans booed him. The heckling of the game then proceeded to get worse: fans went to the extent of cheering that the girls of RIC have syphilis. I understand that sports are competitive; by nature, even I am a very competitive person. But I still believe in showing respect to other players.

I too want our team to win but I would never drop down to the level that I saw that night.

I think one of the worst things of the night occurred when a player from Rhode Island College was lying on the ice hurt.

Instead of being quiet and wondering if he was alright, some UNH students proceeded to yell and say that he was a liar and was not really hurt, while others wished that he was hurt badly.

In any sporting event I have ever participated in or gone to, whenever a player gets injured the opposing team’s fans have never badmouthed the person. In fact, one other person and I were the only people who clapped when he got off the ice, which just in case you didn’t know, is custom at sporting events.

The acts of UNH students absolutely baffled and appalled me, as it was the first

I cannot stand that everywhere I turn there is some form of materialism that appeals to and warps egos as well as dumb down our society. Oh wait, your society, not ours.

Jeans that show off your ass, facial washes that promise to make you look young forever, diet pills that will make you fit overnight, and overpriced clothing brands so you can feel like you’re someone important. I can picture the typical consumer shopping for some overpriced handbag: “Look at that handbag! It’s $300, but it has the designer’s initials on it! If I buy this bag it will make me look more appealing and I’ll be the target of everyone’s envy!” Cram your ego.

Not only that, but they literally try to erode a man’s self-confidence by using supposed testimonials where men compare their grey-haired state to their new colored-hair state in which the men discuss their previous lack of confidence.

However, what’s more pathetic, is blind consumerism is socially accepted.

Delaney’s Restaurant and Taproom-Walley Avenue, New Haven My Favorite Thing: The Service Least Favorite Thing: The area

I was over at Kelley’s apartment the other day (you remember her, right?) and we needed a quick fix for the bad week that we were having so we decided to walk down to Delaney’s for a little food and some drinks. I was always told it was the “Spectators for Southern students” but the atmosphere tells me quite the contrary. Maybe the people from Southern are classier than us or something because there are two bars, an outside patio for sit down dinners, and a

fancy sit down area on the inside. Doesn’t sound like Spectators to me!

We went inside to get seated and asked for a patio seat even though it was cold outside. They turned on these cool space heaters and I was immediately comfortable sitting in temperatures in the 40’s. A very nice waiter came out fairly quickly and asked us what kind of drinks we wanted.

German beer, but then I look at the menu and realized why. They have a selection of hundreds of different beers and liquors that you could choose from, no wonder why everyone goes there on a week night. After a few minutes he returned with our drinks and asked us what we wanted to eat.

Sweet potato fries ($2.95) are delicious so I ordered those and a bunch of wings ($4.50-$28.50 depending on size). Oh man, do I love wings!

of area we were in.

Of course the saying goes, “There’s no good area in New Haven” but I noticed we were kind of in a more ghetto area than usual, and sitting on the patio was probably not a good idea. I took notice of who was outside and decided that since there were more tables of people around that we would be okay.

Our food arrived and we “chowed” down on it for a few minutes when I noticed out of the corner of my eye an older man stumbling towards the

patio. I thought to myself, “Oh, great…” and pretended not to notice him. By this time it was just us and one other table of two and it kind of creeped me out. Before we knew it, the man stumbles to our tables asking us for boxes and cigarettes. We sort of ignored him and saw him stumble inside.

The other couple left and we were feeling uneasy being out there by ourselves so when the waiter came back we told him about the homeless drunk crack head guy. He told us we

would be okay so we felt a little better.

After that, the waiter came outside more often than before just to see if we were ok.

That made me give this place another star above the rest of the average American-ish restaurants because their service was outstanding. He even made us laugh to try and get our minds off of the creep.

A few minutes later the hobo came outside and asked us for cigarettes again (what?) and I simply said, See REVIEW page 14

Mourners Gather for Hudson Funeral

By CARYN ROUSSEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS

–––––––––––––––––

CHICAGO—Hundreds of mourners streamed into a private funeral service for Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson's slain mother, brother and nephew Monday, Nov. 3 at a South Side church.

Small blue tickets that read "Hudson Family Funeral" were needed to enter the massive Apostolic Church of God, but that didn't deter crowds of onlookers who gathered outside.

Police directed traffic around the building, keeping passers-by across the street from its large front parking lot and away from those attending the services for Darnell Hudson Donerson, 57, Jason Hudson, 29, and Julian King, 7.

The three were found shot to death late last month, the adults in Donerson's home and Julian in a vehicle found several miles away. Julian is the son of Jennifer Hudson's older sister, Julia Hudson.

Reeves Wins Lawsuit Against Paparazzo

By CARYN ROUSSEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS

–––––––––––––––––

LOS ANGELES— It's a most excellent outcome for Keanu Reeves: The Matrix actor doesn't owe a dime to the paparazzo who sued him.

After deliberating for less than three hours, jurors unanimously rejected the civil lawsuit Monday, ruling that Reeves is not responsible for the photographer's alleged injuries. Ali-

son Silva had asked the jury to award him $711,974, which includes medical bills, lost wages and punitive damages.

"I respect the jury's decision," Silva told reporters outside the Los Angeles County Superior Court after the verdict was read.

"That's what we were here for since the beginning."

Silva said he would continue to work as a paparazzo despite the jury's decision.

Would ever attempt

to snap Reeves' photo again?

"Why not? It's business," he responded. "I wish Keanu is happy in his life. I have nothing against Keanu."

Silva claimed that the star of The Matrix, Speed and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure struck him with his Porsche in March 2007, causing him to fall and injure his left wrist.

Jurors heard how Silva gave contradictory statements about what happened and

even saw a video of the celeb shooter using his supposedly damaged hand to scale down a chain link fence after getting video of Britney Spears.

"We obviously felt from day one that Mr. Reeves was not negligent," said Reeves' attorney, Alfred Gerisch, after the verdict. "It's unfortunate that this lawsuit was brought and it's unfortunate that we had to go this far — a lot of time, a lot of effort and obviously a lot of money."

The actor waited for the verdict outside the courthouse's cafeteria on the roof but declined to comment after the decision.

Attorneys issued closing arguments Friday, the jury deliberated about five minutes before leaving for the weekend, and resumed their work Monday morning. All 12 decided to reject the case; civil trials in California only require nine jurors to be in agreement.

The panel of ju-

rors — six men and six women — was a decidedly Hollywood bunch. One of the jurors said he is an animator for "The Simpsons," while another helps coordinate movie shoots in public parks. A pair of actresses and a former voice-over artist were eliminated from the jury pool.

Reeves testified early on and remained in the courtroom throughout the fiveday trial.

Advice Corner

Q: My friend has a girlfriend, and he doesn't seem to like her very much, but he won't break up with her. She treats all of our friends badly and it embarrasses my friend. What can I do to help my friend?

A: I think that you should give your friend the benefit of the doubt and maybe he sees something in his girlfriend that no one else does. Tell him to try talking to her about her bad attitude, and maybe that will help when all of you hang out together. Maybe her personality just doesn't go well with the rest of yours, but you should still give her a chance.

A: You should tell your friend to grow a pair and break up with her.

This can be done a number of ways, either by telling her that it's over and making a run for it or just ignoring her calls, text messages and facebook messages. She'll get the message eventually.

Almost all the sports offered in Season 2 have been offered before, but the RECSports program also introduced a new sport to its collection.

The existing sports had an amazing turnout and were certainly exciting as ever, but what about RECSports’ newest edition, team handball?

There is always some anticipation, some excitement when a sport starts up that is new to the program.

There is always that worry that the sport could be a totally flop.

However, the worry is worth the risk of trying something new because if the sport takes off the games are riveting. The team handball games were like no other, marking the debut of the sport at UNH a success.

So what is team handball? Team handball is a soccer-like game, but played by throwing ball rather than kicking. Teams of six throw the ball around and try to score in small goals.

A player cannot take more than three steps

while holding the ball and may not hold the ball for more than three seconds. Due to this fundamental rule team handball is a fast–paced, exciting game.

The first week of Season 2 showed that team handball is also a high-scoring sport for RECSports. Thus far the teams have taken to the sport with enthusiasm and the games have been awesome. According to one RECSports staff member’s observation, defense is particularly challenging, but the game is still thrilling especially as participants show amazing skill.

RECSports has two divisions of team handball: men’s and co-rec. In this first week of the sport 80’s Babies, Bangin’ Bulldogs, Delta Chi, How We Doin, Jon’s Lunch, and Red Army each one at least one game.

RECSports would like to thank all the teams that came out and made the first week so successful.

Speaking of firsts begs the question- where did team handball come from?

Team handball has been around in one

form or another since ancient Greece. Handball sports acquired growing interests the farther west the sports became known. Germany, France, and Denmark are among the first few countries to pick up versions of handball in the middle ages. Denmark and Germany were a couple of the first countries to play the modern version of team handball. Today team handball is one of the most popular sports in England (behind soccer of course). The sport has an international federation and is played in the Summer Olympics. In fact, team handball did appear at this year’s Summer Olympics.

In the men’s team handball competition France won their first gold in the sport. Norway took the women’s team handball gold. So team handball isn’t as obscure as one might think.

Team handball looks to be a promising sport that the RECSports program can offer in the future.

I hope everyone gets a chance to play or at least see a game.

By Celina Natola

Phoenix calls it quits Joaquin Phoenix has retired from acting-to focus on his music. Yes, music. I know you’re confused so let me rewind.

Joaquin Phoenix, member of a major acting family and certainly rising star, is trading in his scripts for sheet music.

The actor, 34, announced the big news on Saturday night, Nov. 1 at the premiere of his “last film” Two Lovers.

“Why music?” you may ask. Well, Phoenix learned to play the guitar on the set of Walk the Line, when he played music legend Johnny Cash. Maybe the idea of becoming a music legend himself is what motivated Phoenix to make the industry switch. Whatever the reason, I can predict that it will be the worst decision ever made in his career.

Def Jam Exec Dies from Self-Inflicted Gunshot –––––––––––––––––

ATLANTA—The executive who succeeded Jay-Z as the head of hip-hop music label Def Jam Recordings died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound near Atlanta, police said Sunday.

Executive vice president Shakir Stewart, 34, died on Saturday, his New York-based label said

issued a statement Sunday on behalf of Stewart's fiancee, Michelle Rivers, and his family.

"Over the past several weeks, Shakir's behavior was inconsistent with the man we all know and love," the statement said. "As much as we all tried to help him, Shakir was in deep pain and largely suffering in silence."

Stewart signed such artists as Rick

Ross and Young Jeezy to the label before being named in June to the post once filled by Jay-Z. The Oakland, Calif., native came to Atlanta to attend Morehouse College, where he graduated in 1996, his label said in an announcement for his promotion in June.

He previously worked with the Hitco publishing company, where he signed R&B star Beyonce, and

Arista Records, where he signed R&B star Ciara.

Christopher Hicks, a friend of 18 years and fellow music executive, last spoke with Stewart about a week ago.

"Whatever happened over the past 24 hours is not a testament to who we all know," Hicks told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday.

"He was a one-of-akind individual. If you
