From “Down Under” to UPCOMING EVENTS downtown Lock Haven Olivia Beck Guest Writer onb118@lhup.edu “G’day Mate,” isn’t something you would typically hear on campus. However, that will change if you run into Australian exchange student, Sam Oomens. Coming all the way from Sydney, now nearly 10,000 miles from home, Sam said the US and Lock Haven are unique in some ways, but he also says coming all the way from ‘down under’ may not be as different as one would think.

Oomens, a business major, said “it was an easy choice” to come to Lock Haven. Two major factors played into this decision. First, the university he attends in Australia has a good sister program with LHU’s business department.

Secondly, English being his only language limited him to a predominantly English speaking country.

“There are not too many big differences, America and Australia are very similar,” he said.

“However there are some.”

“Look left, right, left” is what Americans were always told to do before crossing the street, because they have always driven on the right side of the road.

Sam said driving on the “wrong” side of the road is one of those big

differences between the US and Australia.

“Suddenly you have to look the opposite directions,” he said.

Often times themselves complaining about how boring or how small Lock Haven is. But Oomens doesn’t have those complaints.

Just the opposite: he comes from a city that is 500 times the size of Lock Haven and

only sees the positive things about LHU’s size.

“Lock Haven is very much what I imagined American college to be, it is just like the Hollywood movies and it’s cool to be living that,” he said. “College football teams and fraternity houses are so wildly different, but in a good way. Going to see a college football game at Jack stadium has been really cool.”

Football crowds and school spirit can be fascinating to one who isn’t accustomed to it.

Another huge difference for Oomens is how dorm life and the roommate situation is completely opposite to that in Australia. “I am used to living in a room alone,” he said. “And now living in the same

room with a complete stranger is kind of weird.”

He isn’t alone in that feeling.

The Center for Global Education compiled a list of study abroad adjustments. Homesickness was ranked second on the list. According to the Global Education website, it is one of the most common adjustment problems, experienced by students from every country.

Some worse than others, but nonetheless it happens.

‘Super Smash Brothers’ explodes on to the 3DS Zach Estright Staff Writer zestrigh@lhup.edu Gamers everywhere have enjoyed the classics such as “Super Mario Brothers,” “The Legends of Zelda,” other Nintendo games and this masterpiece is known as “Super Smash Brothers.”

The new Super Smash Brothers for 3DS and 2DS offers so much more than the other games have had the opportunity to. In this version, you can play as over 40 unique characters.

Since the new SSB game has been released and a lot of fans have the game already, here is a top 5 countdown of the best new characters in SSB. #5 Pac-man This yellow ball of joy joins the battle, including all of his wonka wonkas! Pac-man is a great character for all people new to the game due to his ease of use. When Pac-man is going to fall off the stage, he can easily bounce back on with a bouncy trampoline. Nintendo found unique ways to keep Pac-man vintage by using his little ghosts to knock off foes. If you get caught in his mouth expect to be chomped on and thrown off the stage to your death. #4 Bowser Jr. Bowser Jr. may be smaller than his dad, but he’s still a force to be reckoned with. One of little Bowser’s no-

table attacks that can bring the damage in is his cannon move. Charge that #3 Rosalina and Luma Rosalina and Luma are a great team together, and yes you can control both of these characters at the same time if you get the hang of it. Rosalina can charge up Luma and launch it towards foes that can make a devastating blow. you are doomed. #2 Mega-Man The reason why Mega-Man is number two, is because, well he is Mega-Man! In SSB, he can do just about everything.

He can shoot his gun, bring an electric shock, raise huge his super hero buddies will take you down, and send you off the stage. #1 Little Mac Little Mac is number one, because he is the most unique out of all the characters. He’s a boxer and he knows how to pack a punch. Little Mac is unique because he has a KO bar that will increase and once it says KO, you have an instant kill shot. The only down side to Little Mac is trying to get back on the stage smash is Giga Mac, a bigger version of Little Mac. If you get punched by Giga Mac, it’s game over for you.

‘American Horror Story’ gets freaky Kayla Marsh A&E Editor kmarsh2@lhup.edu On Oct. 8 on FX American Horror Story returned with potentially its scariest theme yet. This season is appropriately named Freakshow, as is focuses on a group of travelling carnival workers that all fit the mold of the term “carnies:” the bearded lady, the strong man and of course clowns.

In a normal American Horror Story fashion they put a terrifying twist on these iconic characters.

The season started with the discovery of conjoined twins, Bette and Dot Tattler, both roles played brilliantly by Sarah Paulson. They are found by Jessica Lange’s character, Elsa Mars, owner of the freak show.

Elsa hopes that the addition of the twin girls will bring in a bigger audience and more revenue for the flailing freak show.

Everyone’s favorites from previous seasons have returned including, Kathy Bates as the bearded lady, Evan Peters as the Lobster Boy and Naomi Grossman as Pepper the pinhead.

The first episode was full of twists and turns, as most American Horror Story episodes are. Producer and creator Ryan Murphy warned fans that this season was going to be a stark difference from the lightheartedness of last season’s Coven.

He warned that this season would be the darkest yet, and so far he has delivered.

The serial killer of this season is a terrifying clown aptly named “Twisty.” He performs traditional carnival tricks for his victims, like balloon animals and juggling, before he stabs them to death.

We have yet to learn his back story but it’s sure to be a shocking twist if this season goes like the previous three.

American Horror Story: Freakshow is already giving the audience nightmares just in time for the Halloween season.

If the first episode is any indication of what the season will be like we are in store for a frightening thrill ride every episode (pun intended).

This movie was incredible, from the non-stop action, to the complex wellestablished plot line.

One of my favorite scenes in the whole movie had to have been when Quick Silver, played by Even Peters, displayed why he is one of the most loved heroes in the entire series. Wolverine and their team are ambushed when Quicksilver comes in and catches all of the bullets before anyone is hurt.

The entire way the scene was All of the slow motion effects really helped make you feel like Quick Silver was truly moving faster than bullets.

Reasons to get excited about ‘The Book of Life’ Kathleen Ellison Online Editor kae742@lhup.edu Many know Oct. 31 to be Halloween, but this date is also the Mexican holiday Day of Dead in which friends and family gather to remember the dead. This same holiday is also inspiration for the new movie coming out this weekend, “The Book of Life” directed by Jorge Gutiérrez and produced by Guillermo del Toro.

And trust me there are a number of reasons why you need to see this movie.

Plot: In this adventure/comedy a young bulland win the heart of his true love. Not only is it’s also jam-packed with references from Picas-

so to Japanese animes.

Despite the dark nature, the story itself is one of family, hope and well life.

Art: Just looking at the trailer practically injures my eyes with excitement between the brilliant colors and outstandingly designed characters.

The artwork is not only inspired by beautiful Mexican folk art, but Gutiérrez even had wooden puppets of the characters made by Central American artists that were later rendered into computer animation.

“Jorge wanted to create this world that felt handmade with wooden puppets and metal and paint,” said producer Gulliermo Del Toro in an NPR story. “Really feels very much like Mexican baroque.”

Music: As Manolo traverses the world of the dead with his dear guitar, he is accompanied by a mu-

sical mayhem of Mexican inspired tunes that is so fantastic it makes me want to listen to it till my ears fall off and salsa out of the room.

The music contains Mexican bolero and norteno versions of such songs by artists like Mumford & Sons and Radiohead. This mixture of music from growing up near U.S.-Mexican border inspired Gutiérrez, and the result is one of pure musical delight.

Not only does the music make you want dance, but, simply put, it lights up your heart like any good soundtrack from an animated musical notes of the gods has exploded in your ears.

Not only is this movie the perfect way to celebrate October and the Day of the Dead, but it’s also an amazing adventure into an exceptional and spectacular culture. This is one Halloween treat you don’t want to miss.

Top three DIY Halloween costumes Mary Jones Staff Writer mej102@lhup.edu

If you have a little more time, money and creative edge, you can buy acrylic paints and paint the colors on instead!

With the start of October comes the appearance of halloween costumes in stores. However, for the average person on a budget, these costumes can get pretty pricey.

Besides, just buying a costume doesn’t allow for the creativity of making one yourself. Halloween will be here before you know it, so why not take one of these awesome DIY costume ideas and prepare?

2. A Bag of Gum Balls/Jelly Beans This one is simple and a lot of fun. All that’s needed is a clear trash bag (size depends on your height) and balloons. Pink if you just want to do gum balls, all kinds of colors for jelly beans. Cut leg and arm holes out of the bag and pull it on.

Then place the blown up balloons in the bag with you and tie it around your neck using ribbon! For an instant Harry Potter costume, print the Berty-Botts Every Flavored Beans logo out and stick it to the front! Jelly Belly is a popular one, too.

1. Rubik’s Cube Going for something a little puzzling? Why not a Rubik’s cube! With a box, cut out the bottom, a head and

arm holes and use construction paper to make the black lines and colored squares.

3. Grapes Why not be a fruit this year? This costume is simple, incredibly cheap, and also includes balloons! Just buy a bag of purple or green balloons, blow them up, and pin them to your clothes.

For the leaves, you can either wear a green accessory on your head or make leaves out of paper. To look even more like a bushel of grapes, you can wear tan or brown pants to represent the stem where the grapes have fallen off.

Each of these costumes can be made quickly and easily, and all of them cost under $20. A Google or Pinterest search will provide more simple, fun ideas. Have a Happy Halloween, and stay safe!

ade: New hit or passing trend?

Jennie Slota Staff Writer jslota@lhup.edu Just when you think one social media site is dying out, another one is quick to be released and trending.

Students all around different campuses are being introduced to the newest app called Fade—the social media app where nothing last forever.

This is a free app for students that allows you to share your moments through a picture that is temporarily posted.

The app connects you to your university’s page by using your location on your phone. However, the university must have at least 500 people from the school to gain access.

You then are able to post pictures or “moments” much like Instagram but with a little twist. The moments you post are only viewable for an hour before they disappear.

“I just got the app about a week ago. So far what I obtained from it is it’s just a combination of Yik Yak and Instagram,” said Shannon Moss, a senior business marketing major.

Just like Yik Yak, you can vote up or down on the posts that are made. The voting is completely private so posters are unable to see who liked or disliked their picture.

What’s different is that if you vote up, you gain time on how long your post is viewed and get a rating.

If you vote down, the rating does not count but your time decreases.

Eventually, if enough down rates are made, the time will run out and the picture will be “faded” or erased.

Users can create a customized profile with a picture of their choosing as the background. Your name, picture and amount of likes will appear for others in your area to view.

Posts on this site are public and anyone in your school’s group can view what you post.

However, each user is allowed

to post one anonymous post a day.

You may also view top posts from different universities.

“I only posted two things so far, just some pictures I found humorous or entertaining. I haven’t used it so much yet,” said Moss. “I downloaded it about a month ago, but Lock Haven University just gained access about two weeks ago.”

Some of the university students have yet to hear about the site.

Those who have heard about it but have not used it are nervous on how it will be used.

Several of the newer social apps have been taken advantage of and used in an unfashionable manor that some find rather offensive, such as Yik Yak. Dana Gallo, a junior physical therapy major, said she just heard of the app and doesn’t think she will join.

“It seems too similar to Yik Yak, I find it offensive and pointless,” she said.

Social media around campus sometimes can be a trend of what’s hot at the moment.

Will this new form be one of the popular ones like Twitter and Instagram?

Or will it be one of the ones that eventually runs its course and become “faded”?

Intersex snail symbol of equality Lona Middleton Copy Editor lkemp@lhup.edu The addition of a new snail to the list of newly discovered species may not seem like a big deal to many people but its scientific name is one to make the LGBTQIA community smile: Aegista diversifamilia.

According to an article in the journal ZooKeys, the new species of snail was discovered in Taiwan but had been thought to be a subspecies of a different snail for many years.

After different scientists compared notes and looked harder, it

was determined to be its own unique species of snail.

Now about that name, A. diversifamilia, and the reasons for it: Dr. Lee, the man that suggested the snail was a unique species unto itself, recalled that while they were getting the manuscript ready for publication, Taiwan and many other countries were trying to get same

sex marriages recognized.

It had been everywhere in the news and was on his mind as the paper was sent off.

H e says that it made him think about the fact that these snails are intersex creatures and therefore contain both male and female reproductive organs.

It was one way to see the diversity of sexual orientation in the animal world.

He is quoted as saying that, “maybe this is a good occasion to name the snail to remember the struggle for the recognition of same-sex marriage rights.”

The issue of gender and LGBTQIA equality is something that everyone is exposed to. It is in the news and on many people’s minds as we move toward a more unbiased world.

The naming of the newly discovered snail may be a small step but it is still a step forward in the right direction.

Know what this is? Lona’s Local Looks: Lona Middleton Copy Editor lkemp@lhup.edu

Maybe you’ve seen this neat little relic on campus this semester.

Wondering what it is? Check out the Lifestyles section next week for a touch of Haven history!

This month’s restaurant review is for a local deli right here in Lock Haven, Leo’s Deli. It has been a family owned business for 20 years and the locals as well as many college students love it.

The menu is select but not limited. They serve subs, sandwiches, wraps and grilled paninis. The lighting is slightly dim compared to most other places but it has a nice ambiance and the classic Italian wall décor is tasteful rather than tacky.

This is one of those places you simply feel welcome in. The price range for the food is reasonable and ranges from $6 to $12. The food is fantastic. I have been here a couple of times and have never had any complaints.

The last time I ordered a grilled Italian panini and was not disappointed.

The food is fresh and the meats are Boar’s Head brand, very reliable as far as quality goes.

There are a few things you should know about Leo’s though. First is that if you wish to dine in then you must order by 4 p.m.

The business closes at 5 p.m. and any orders after 4 p.m. will have to be for takeout only. It is a cash only business so bring a bit more than you think you will spend.

Why? There is a very nice selection of homemade cookies and other delicacies you If you are looking for a place that is close and local, I would highly recommend Leo’s Deli at 129 E. Main St. The food is always good and the people that work there are very nice.

Go in, order, sit down and then wait for them to bring you good fresh authentic Italian deli foods that won’t kill your budget.

Here’s the dilemma: emails are supposed to be used in a professional way, yet I receive emails from group members and even professors that are sent from their phones and the professionalism gets thrown out the window.

Emails have long been accepted as a professional way of contacting an to go to friends or family. Once you start sending an email like a text on your phone, it takes away the professional aspect of it.

It’s not that I am opposed to sending an email using your phone; it’s that I am opposed to emailing like you would text. By this I mean sending “u” instead of “you” or not using proper punctuation. I have personally received emails that make no sense because the person must have been walking and trying to send the email at the same time and they obviously acted like they were texting a buddy of theirs. You wind up with text abbreviations and wrongly auto-corrected words and phrases.

make them look the same that they would if I was sitting at my desk writing them on my laptop.

Some people, understandably, are in a rush and are so busy that they have

pression. It gives the impression that you don’t really care about the email and that it shouldn’t matter to the receiver of the email either. In reality, most emails are important to look at, but some don’t pay any mind to emails that look sloppy.

Some professors won’t even email you back if your email isn’t appropriate.

College is about establishing networks and creating connections between people that you can use in your future endeavors. If you’re sending emails that are from your phone and you send them like a text message, you aren’t showing yourself off; instead you are placing yourself in a negative light as the person Next time you send an email from your phone, think about whom it is gowhich emails could impress (or turn off) just the right person!

PSU’s Franklin needs to improve Jayson Moyer Co-Sports Editor jpm362@lhup.edu James Franklin appeared out of the south endzone tunnel at Beaver Stadium at Penn State’s Blue and White game in April, stepping onto the Beaver Stadium grass in front of Nittany Lion fans for the first time.

Things were good then. Things were fresh. It was a new, exciting perspective presented by a community-welcoming coach in Franklin.

The season started with four straight wins. A last-second field goal in Ireland in the season opener to beat UCF, a win over Akron, a tough, emotional, hard-fought win at Rutgers two weeks later, and a blowout of UMASS. Penn State had started the season undefeated.

Christian Hackenberg was playing at such a high level, the defense was playing awesome, and Franklin was the most popular and beloved guy in Central Pennsylvania.

The sanctions that were placed on Penn State as a result of the Jerry Sandusky Scandal were removed, Penn State was bowl eligible and Penn State would receive their full allotment of scholarships beginning next season.

And with Penn State’s sub-par schedule, the future was bright. A bowl game was in sight. This team could possibly go 9-3.

But that was then, and this is now.

Because what followed Penn State’s 4-0 start was a 29-6 pounding by Northwestern of Penn State in front of the biggest crowd at Beaver Stadium this season.

Penn State’s defense that was great early in the season was all over the place, and not in a good way. Northwestern picked them apart en-route to a rout.

Franklin and the Penn State coaching staff evidently had a very poor game plan.

Next, the floundering Michigan Wolverines awaited a visit from Penn State in a prime-time game at The Big House.

Michigan fans remembered all too well what happened last year in Happy Valley, as Penn State defeated the Wolverines in four overtimes. This year was not going to be the same.

The Nits’ looked decent in the first half, taking a 13-10 lead into halftime.

The second half saw more of what we saw in the Northwestern game.

Penn State failed to score a single point in the second half, the Wolverines tacked on three field goals and a safety, and Penn State suddenly had lost two in a row.

So now, by pulling a page out of the Philadelphia Fan playbook, arose the question of whether Franklin is a good coach or not.

Three weeks ago he was at the pinnacle of Penn State football

in the eyes of Nittany Lion fans, and now we don’t know what to think.

Now Penn State is not flying high. Things are sour and things are bleak. It is not the same feeling that was felt across Central Pennsylvania three weeks ago.

His play-calling has been questionable at times, his “throw, throw, throw” mentality hasn’t always panned out, and he has not put his team in the best positions to win.

He has only coached six games at the helm of Penn State. Through the first four games, he was an excellent coach. However, through the last two, it hasn’t been the same.

It was hard to see a coach like Bill O’Brien leave Penn State. In the two years O’Brien was here, that team was so well coached.

Franklin and O’Brien are complete opposite coaches, however, so it is hard to compare the two.

O’Brien had a very balanced offense, and loved to run the ball, which set up the play-action in his offense very effectively. Franklin’s offense is not as balanced.

Franklin uses the wildcat a lot, O’Brien loathed the wildcat.

Franklin is a great salesman – he can recruit with the best of coaches in college football.

But until once Franklin can build good recruiting class after good recruiting class, we won’t know how good of a coach he really is.

My perception of him right now, though, is that he is not an elite coach in college football. And because of that, Penn State will not be one of the elite teams in the Big Ten this year.

This week is a bye-week for the Nittany Lions. Following the bye is an even bigger test as Ohio State visits State College in front of a sea of white.

The Ohio State game will just be another audition for Franklin to show us what he has. He has had two bad games, both game plan and preparation wise, in a row.

James Franklin, the person, has Happy Valley in his arms. His energy and passion that he instills into the game are second to none.

He has the best job in the world. We love James Franklin the person.

But it’s James Franklin, the coach, whose perception is yet to be determined with Penn State fans.

And until Franklin can show that he can effectively coach, how good this Penn State team is will really be unknown.

Saturday, October 25th, presents the biggest challenge in Franklin’s coaching career. A big win over a big rival would drive his status as James Franklin, the coach, through the roof.

But a loss, especially if it’s an embarrassing loss, would just raise more and more question about how good of a coach he really is.

Week seven college football roundup Bret Pallotto Co-sports Editor bmp6070@lhup.edu Following the immense amount of upsets seen in college football last week, this was a “show me” week and while some programs rose to the ocdoubts arose.

No. 3 Mississippi State certainly showed the nation just how talented their football team is with their victory over No. 2 Auburn, 3823 in Starkville. Very few were still questioning whether or not Mississippi State was a good football team or not, it was just a question of how good. The Bulldogs season began with three easy wins before they traveled to Death Valley and took down Les Miles and the No. 8 LSU Tigers. The team then handled their success well with their defeat of then ranked No. 6 Texas A&M. With the defeat of Auburn, head coach, Dan Mullen and team in more than 30 years to win three straight regular-season games against AP top-10 teams in one season. The team is currently on a nine

game winning streak dating back to last season and are now ranked No. 1 in the latest AP poll.

While Auburn didn’t look like a dominant team in this game, they only dropped four spots to No. 6 in the AP poll and they will have plenty of other opportunities to prove what kind of team they really are with three remaining matchups against top-10 teams.

Florida State traveled north to battle Syracuse and despite winning by 18, dropped to No. 2 in the polls because Mississippi State was rewarded for playing a tougher schedule. Jameis Winston continues to be the talking point of FSU, rather than their play tions against him. Winston is now being investigated as to whether or not

they are still undefeated heading into Saturday’s contest against undefeated No. 5 Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish will travel down to Tallahassee after defeating unranked North Carolina 50-43 in South Bend. Despite the 43 points allowed, the Irish come into the game with the No. 8 defense in terms of points allowed and will look to end FSU’s 22 game winning streak.

One team who fell back to Earth after pulling off the upset last week was No. 10 Arizona. Rich Rodriguez led his Wildcats to Autzen Stadium when they took down Oregon. The win sent the team from unranked to No. 10 in the polls and they were set to play unranked USC at home. However, despite outscoring the Trojans 13-0 in the fourth quarter, their rally came up short as they were defeated 28-26

a company that is very similar, if not the same, that was connected to suspended Georgia running back Todd Gurley. Head coach, Jimbo Fisher continues to say that Winston is not suspended because he knows all of the facts and says that Winston has done nothing to warrant a suspension.

Remaining in the same region of the country, No. 12 Oregon took on No. 18 UCLA with both programs coming off a loss. Quarterback, Marcus Mariota of the Ducks made sure that they didn’t travel back with a sour taste in their mouth as they dominated the Bruins 42-30. With 14:19 left in the fourth quarter, Oregon took a 42-10 lead and held on the rest of the way.

about Winston and their program,

Dak Prescott (15) threw for 246 yards, a touchdown, and rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday for Mississippi State.

The game featured two quarterbacks with NFL potential in Mariota and UCLA QB, Brett Hundley.

No. 5 Baylor welcomed a hot No. 9 TCU team to Waco and were very nearly defeated. With only 11:38 remaining in the game, TCU took a commanding 58-37 lead over the Bears and still found a way to lose the game.

Baylor rattled off 24 points, includgoal with no time remaining, to win the game 61-58. Not surprisingly, the Bears average the most points in the nation with 52.7 points per game.

No. 13 Georgia embarrassed No. 23 Missouri 34-0 without star their star Todd Gurley. His replacement was freshman Nick Chubb and he carried the ball 38 times for 143 yards and a touchdown.

Notable games for this weekend include: No. 21 Texas A&M at No. 7 Alabama, No. 14 Kansas State at No. 11 Oklahoma, No. 15 Oklahoma State at No. 12 TCU, No. 23 Stanford at No. 17 Arizona State and No. 5 Notre Dame at No. 2 Florida State.
