Educators explain how to utilize electronics in classrooms

Devon Wiser Staff Writer dmw5758@lhup.edu

In today’s teaching styles, education systems are introducing iPads as assistive technology devices.

Assistive technology devices are defined as any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially, modified or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities.

Guest speakers Lauren S. Enders and Linda Kinsey Brown, both Augmentative Communication and Assistive Technology Consultants, visited LHU to discuss the effects of introducing iPads into educational learning environments. iPads are increasingly being used in purposes for education, but there has been a greater rise in use for special education purposes. iPads everywhere have been adapted to school curriculums for the

further engagement of students in individual and group learning situations. They are used as a communication device and as a leisure time activity.

The iPad is a consumer device with built in accessibility enhancements that support users with vision, hearing, mobility, and learning differences. All of these features can be accessed through the accessibility tab under the general settings on the device.

During the presentation, Enders did a hands-on activity for all of the audience members who had brought their iPads. She showed how to get to the accessibility features in the settings and various apps from the app store that can be used for education purposes.

“I didn’t realize how similar the iPhone and iPad were in their features,” said Clarissa Tarnowski, a junior special educations major.

Tarnowski says that although she owns an iPhone, she does not own an iPad, but would purchase one for

teaching purposes. She said that apps from the app store could help a lot in teaching but you have to be careful for the free ones because they could be not as robust in features as a paid one.

To help decide what assistive technology devices to use for teaching functions, there is a four part model called the SETT Framework, which stands for Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools. This model is used to evaluate the effectiveness of these devices.

During their PowerPoint presentation, one slide held a quote stating, “iPad is transforming the way we teach and learn. Powerful creative tools, interactive textbooks and a universe of apps and content make for endless learning possibilities. All on a device everyone already loves to use.”

The majority of the attendees of this workshop were students from SPEC:300 Communication Disorder and Assistive technologies, SPEC:425Law and Collaborative practices in Education and Disability and community services major.

Resume help available in Akeley Dio Sanny Rivera Guest Writer dkr6862@lhup.edu

Many freshman don’t think about the end of their four years of school and instead focus on surviving the chaos of those years.

For a large percentage of LHU students, their time Ads Manager: in college is coming to a close. The Career Services departNate Henderson nhender2@lhup.edu ment, located in Akeley 114, has recently posted their fall hours for walk in resume critiquing. Resumes are a vital Photographer: aspect of the job application process and thus a concrete Alex Rago resume is essential to students as they take their first steps acr4144@lhup.edu into the working world.

“Resumes are the first impression an employer reThis Week’s Writers: Lisa Conner, Josh Copeland, Chris Fravel, ceives from a potential employee,” said Joan Welker, the Samantha Given, Mary Jones, Vicky director of Career Services. “They are often the gateway Kramer, Spencer McCoy, Bret Pallotto, that opens the door to the interview stage.”

Alex Wahl Career Services has critiqued resumes for more than 24 years, although last year was the first one that they posted official walk in hours. During these walk in hours, students can meet with a Peer Career Facilitator trained in the process of resume critiquing who can make suggestions

for improvement.

Lindsey McClelland, a sophomore health science major, and Gina Melasecca, a senior communications major, are two of these peer evaluators.

“The resume critiquing process is very beneficial in that it allows students to taste some aspects of the working class. Personally, we feel better prepared for the job application and interview process because now we have an inside look as to what employers are looking for in their employees,” said Welker.

A common mistake students make is using computer generated templates as a method for writing their resumes.

“With a template, students are forced to write down information that is neither important nor relevant to their job search. The templates are not designed to highlight what really matters, but instead are just a crude version of what an actual resume needs to look like,” Welker says.

Other common mistakes include simple spelling errors and the use of material from high school.

The resume walk in hours for the fall of 2013 are available online on the Career Services page of the school website. A worksheet with helpful facts concerning the resume writing process is available as well.

‘The Walking Dead’ shuffles back to television

Photo courtesy of screencapped.net

Last Sunday AMC proved once more why we Americans are zealous for zombies. The first episode of the Walking Dead left fans bewildered and rabid, almost foaming at the mouth with anticipation for the second episode.

The title of this episode, “30 Days Without an Incident” hints at the fact that the prison group has gone a whole month without a death or attack. Of course producer Glen Mazzara couldn’t let that streak of good luck continue as the episode progressed.

The episode takes place in three separate settings, at the prison, on the supply front and in the woods.

Of course, spoilers ensue: Series hero, Rick, is farming at the prison, now stocked with a pig pen and garden. He begins work on the garden but stops as he picks up a pistol and proceeds to throw it in a pile of trash. This leads audience members to wonder if he has suddenly become interested in gun control.

Rick and his new found dislike for guns is a developing theme that shows him trying to become a better role model for his son, Carl and to change his opinion on their apocalyptic world.

Carol is teaching the children of the community weapon safety and self-defense under the rouse of “story time.”

New leadership roles have emerged as a committee has been created to govern over the population in the prison that seems to be growing half as fast as the horde of zombies outside of the fence.

Fan favorite, Daryl, played by Norman Reedus, takes a small group including Tyreese, Sasha, Glenn and newcomer Bob, an army medic with a secret drinking problem on a run to a local “Big Spot” for supplies.

During the run, Bob becomes trapped underneath a collapsed shelf mere seconds before zombies being to fall through the ceiling preceding a helicopter dropping from the sky.

Rick leaves the comfort of the prison to check the traps set up around the perimeter and is startled by a women who is in such terrible condition that she resembled a walker. This woman ends up being Governor-like, carrying the head of her zombiefied husband.

The episode ends with youngster Patrick becoming very ill, very quickly. He wakes in the middle of the night to take a shower, hoping for some relief. Within the last minute of the show, we watch Patrick suddenly drop dead. He then turns into a walker, sans bite, injury or cause of death.

This startling cliffhanger has left Walking Dead fans wondering what’s going on in the sanctuary they were so fond of.

American Horror Story FIlled with ‘Bitchcraft’

Kayla Marsh A&E Editor kmarsh2@lhup.edu

“When witches don’t fight back, we burn,” states Fiona Goode, the Supreme witch played by Jessica Lange.

American Horror Story: Coven premiered last Wednesday on FX at 10 p.m., and it took off with a bang.

This season focuses on a group of modern day witches at an elite boarding called Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies located in New Orleans. The school teaches young witches to harness their powers and function in the real world.

The school is run by Cordelia Fox, played by American Horror Story alumnus Sarah Paulson. She believes that the girls should conceal their powers and try to live “normal” lives in the outside world.

Cordelia’s mother, Fiona Goode (Lange), believes that the girls need to be trained to fight the oppression they have suffered since Salem. Fiona is the “Supreme,” meaning she is gifted with many powers including clairvoyance,

telepathy and life sucking. She is the natural leader of the small group of witches and exerts her power when she returns to school.

The story is pure American Horror Story shock value. The cast of characters are once again well written and well acted. Even though some big names have been added to the cast this year, once again Jessica Lange is at center stage, and that’s where she belongs.

In just one episode she proved that her character is not one to be reckoned with, in both physical and verbal sparring. Sarah Paulson’s character has yet to have a lot of screen time, but Cordelia seems like an oncoming storm that will soon explode.

If the first episode is any consolation, Coven has the potential to be the best of the American Horror story seasons. The combination of Jessica Lange’s Fiona Goode and Kathy Bates’ Madame LaLaurie is sure to be the shining relationship of the season. After one episode I’m bewitched and everyone should be as well.

Falling down the rabbit hole in new ABC show Samantha Shirk Staff Writer sxs1090@lhup.edu

This past Thursday, a new spin-off of the popular TV show “Once Upon a Time” premiered.

“Once Upon A Time in Wonderland” is a creepy, more adult version of the Wonderland we’ve grown up loving.

In the first episode, we meet adult Alice who is considerably different from the little girl of the original story. It seems Alice has been locked in an Asylum by her father because of her wild stories of Wonderland.

Interestingly, we’re not just watching another version of “Alice in Wonderland” because in this version of the story, Jafar from “Aladdin” is another antagonist. It seems the two stories have been crossed over, making for a highly interesting first episode and possibly an even more interesting se-

ries. The mention of Agrabah comes in during one of Alice’s many trips to Wonderland where she meets a genie named Cyrus.

When Cyrus and Alice first meet he tells her he is from Agrabah, and I had to rewind back to make sure I heard right. I found this to be really neat. The mixing of these two stories has opened an amazing amount of possibilities.

While the episode shows us Alice and Cyrus’ relationship through flashbacks, it also shows us present day Alice. In an attempt to break her out of the Asylum, we meet the devious Knave of Hearts, played by Michael Socha. He has heard a rumor from the infamous White Rabbit, that Cyrus might still be alive. In an earlier flashback it appeared that he was killed by the Red Queen.

With this new found hope, a fire rages in Alice when she was about to give up. Alice makes her escape from the asylum and she and the Knave of Hearts return to Wonderland to see if the rumor about Cyrus is true.

The premiere of this episode kept me captivated the entire time. The show made me feel very sympathetic towards Alice, especially since she’d been locked away for so long.

I felt the special effects were magnificent. It all seemed so realistic and the costumes were amazing! The Knave of Hearts was dressed in darker colors which was a striking difference between Alice’s paler colors. This really emphasized their personalities. Her outfit of undergarments seemed to express her vulnerable nature and the rawness of her emotions especially given the setting and plot.

The actors chosen to play the characters were well cast. All in all, I’d say a job well done. I plan to tune in again next week and hopefully you’ll join me! “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” is on at Thursdays on ABC at 8 p.m. You can also watch episodes on ABC’s website at abc.go.com.

Film Box Retrospective: “Sleepy Hollow”

The Conjuring The Internship The Wall

with Kathleen Ellison

Nothing beats a good Tim Burton movie in the month of October. His dark movies such as “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “The Corpse Bride” are excellent films to watch for Halloween revelry, but my particular favorite is “Sleepy Hollow”. This 1999 movie stars Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci and Miranda Richardson.

Ichabod Crane (Depp) is New York City police officer in 1799. He is sent away as reprimand for using unconventional forensic methods of investigation and is sent to the small town of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of brutal beheadings. Instead of cut dry murders he finds himself swept up in the supernatural and swamped in the dark secrets of the town.

I love the visuals in this movie; it’s what really makes the movie for me. It has the usual shadowy characteristics of a Tim Burton film. The tone and imagery is as dark as the tar pit in the eighth circle of hell. The cinematography manages to depict this gloomy and yet seemingly gorgeous setting and tone.

Johnny Depp was fantastic as Ichabod. He portrays the character

very well. I especially liked his mannerism and speech pattern in conveying the nervous and awkward aspect of his character’s personality.

He managed to make some very humorous moments in the movie that were excellent in alleviating some of the gloom and suspense so the movie was not too drawn out or slow paced.

I also loved the costumes. I felt they were very accurate for the time period. I appreciated Katrina’s (Ricci) dresses and how they tended to be of a lighter shade, which not only contrasted with the setting to establish her character but also really emphasized her personality.

The special effects were amazing. The headless horseman, the witch, and the tree scene (to name but a few) were very realistically done. Although there were moments where I felt there was unnecessary gore, overall I felt the film had just the right amount of carnage.

The plot and action of this thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat as well as the scarier moments in the movie. So grab some candy corn, cozy up on your couch and take a trip to Sleepy Hollow.

All Hades Breaks Loose in New Heroes of Olympus

Mary Jones Staff Writer mej102@lhup.edu

After the battle of Manhattan in “The Last Olympian” of the Percy Jackson and the Olympian series, another Great Prophecy was created. This new prophecy declared that the seven strongest demigods of their time would band together to stop a new threat. That new threat turned out to be the Giants.

Three children of Roman gods and four children of Greek gods banded together, flying a mythical ship called the Argo II to Greece.

This is where the temple, the House of Hades, is located and where the mortal side of the Doors of Death lie. However, their process is hindered by the forces of Gaea, Mother Earth.

Through it all, Percy and Annabeth finally reach their destination and must find a way to survive an environment that is not only toxic for mortals, but is also full of monsters who thirst for revenge on the heroes.

Rick Riordan, the author of this series, really knows how to keep his readers on the edge of their seats. The action starts on the very first page and continues through the rest of the book.

From following the journey of the crew of the Argo II to following the process of Percy and Annabeth, there is never a dull moment.

The character development is not hindered by this either. While “House of Hades” is more serious than previous books in the series, it still contains Riordan’s trademark humor and sarcasm.

As a reader who waited a year for this book, I have only two complaints. First, the book doesn’t live up to the hype given to it all year. It was fast and captivating, but it was also over entirely too soon for me. Second, this book doesn’t leave off at a cliffhanger like the three previous stories. A lot of readers might be thankful for this but for me, it was the cliffhangers that kept me thinking about the books all year. Instead this book ends with the characters calmly flying off to their next destination.

Published Oct. 8, 2013 by Disney-Hyperion, this book is definitely a must have, especially for fans of Percy Jackson or lovers of Greek Mythology. It is available at Wal-Mart and Amazon in hardback for $11.29, and a Kindle E-Book version for $9.99.

Top five horrific monster movies

Spencer McCoy Staff Writer smccoy@lhup.edu

Halloween is approaching and what better way than to create a short list on the top 5 monster movies of all time.

5. The Mummy (1999): The Mummy features Brendan Fraiser and shows some incredible special effects for its time.

This movie is a childhood memory and holds strong roots in what I feel a Halloween movie should portray.

4. The Thing (1982): When it comes to horror, there is one author we can all agree on as being one of the best. One of Stephen King’s best movies has to be The Thing.

It portrays a group of people who just so happen to be in the middle of nowhere and the temperature is well below 0. This setting has been proven time and time again to bring nothing but disaster for the crew and when The Thing emerges.

3. An American Werewolf in London (1981): I first sat down to watch this horror movie when I was probably a little too young to be watchPhoto courtesy of viewallpaperhd.com

ing movies about werewolves eating people.

This movie may or may not have scarred me for life but if that’s not a reason to go see a horror movie about monsters, then I don’t know what is. The acting can be a bit cheesy at times but for the 1980, this seems to be a recurring style for movies.

2. Godzilla There have been many renditions of this age old classic and they all seem to be fairly entertaining. Godzilla is a monster that is world renowned. I couldn’t decide on the best Godzilla movie out there due to the ever increasing number of them. But I figured this monster should make top five just because it always seems to be in the back of people’s minds when they think of terrifying monsters they would never want to encounter.

1. Young Frankenstein (1974): Young Frankenstein features famous actor Gene Wilder. The movie puts a comedic twist on the original Frankenstein story. If you haven’t seen this movie, make sure it’s on your next list of movies to watch. It is hilarious the whole way through while still sticking to the creepy roots of Dr. Frankenstein and his experiments with the dead.

APSCUF Rally

In the past three years, Governor Tom Corbett (R – Pa) has cut over $90 million from state-funded higher ed.

This past August and September Clari-

their plans to lay off more than 90 tenured and tenure-track faculty members combined.

In light of this, APSCUF is now lobbying for a restoration program in order to get at least part of that $90 million back into the higher ed. budget.

Budget aspects are not generally looked at until around April and May, according to Senator Mike Hanna (D-Pa), so APSCUF’s goal is to show initiative and lobby early.

“We can’t do anything about retrenchment without more resources – that’s where legislation comes in,” said Stanley Berard, a political science professor at Lock Haven University.

Throughout the meetings, ofSCUF’s cause. While most legislators would rather be funding higher ed, the biggest problem they face is that money needs to be cut from something.

“Show me where we can take the money from,” Senator Greg Lucas (R-Pa) said.

Budget cuts are becoming a familiar topic amongst the state’s higher education system. As retrenchment and program losses become more common, the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties is working to lobby against these cuts.

Their most recent endeavor started with legislators, APSCUF members, educators and students alike getting together for a reception dinner Tuesday evening. Attendees discussed strategies of lobbying in an informal setting where they were able to get to know one another, as most had not met before.

The next day included brief meetings with multiple legislators in the capitol building, a press conference versity’s choir. Representatives from all 14 PASSHE schools were in attendance.

The state schools are currently trapped in a ‘vicious circle’ that began with the initial 2011-’12 large scale cuts.

“They had to make some strategic cuts…” Senator John Wozniak (D-Pa) said. “That means less classes that people might be attracted to, which means less students, which means next time we have to cut more classes. That’s what we want to prevent from happening.”

At this point, most state schools feel that their only options are to raise tuition and retrench – meaning to cut down on faculty and staff members.

This hits home for Madaleine Dean, a La Salle English professor and senator (D-Pa).

“Retrenchment sounds more like a military term,” she said. “‘We have to retrench.’ Are you kidding me?”

After this event APSCUF President Steve Hicks, an English professor at Lock Haven, felt that the event was a good starting point to restore funding.

“We’ll be following up with representatives, and working on getting a restoration through the House,” Hicks said.

Editor’s Note: Ariel and Kate were able to attend this event thanks to APSCUF members who provided rides to and from Harrisburg. Although APSCUF provided transportation, the Eagle Eye ensures that the article is as impartial as humanly possible.

paper off of the crayons. Once you have done this break the crayons in half and arrange the crayons around the top of the pumpkin like in the picture shown. After you have figured out where you want your crayons to go, glue them to the pumpkin.

Give the glue about 10 minutes to make sure it is dry.

Next, use your blow dryer to melt the crayons down the pumpkin.

It will take a little time for the crayons to heat up so don’t get discouraged. The idea is to let the crayon wax drip down your pumpkin, not entirely covering the pumpkin.

When finished you will have one colorful pumpkin.

One of the most enjoyable activities to do in October is to carve pumpkins. However, living in the residence halls can definitely put a damper on that situation. Lack of tools, space make it nearly impossible. Plus there’s nowhere to put it without it stinking up your room.

Just because you may not be able to carve a pumpkin, doesn’t mean you can’t decorate one. Create a pumpkin crayon, it’s cheap and there is no major mess to clean up.

Renaissance Faire takes participants back in time Kayla Marsh A&E Editor kmarsh2@lhup.edu “God bless you merry people and God bless this merry day,” shouts Queen Elizabeth II at the gates of Mount Hope on her royal retreat. She enters the small renaissance town to a parade of bright colors and a joyous musical fanfare. The day is filled with valiant knights, scurvy pirates and damsels who aren’t always in distress.

All these wonderful things happen at the Mount Hope Winery in Lancaster, Pa. The winery uses the renaissance faire a way to promote and test their wine. But the wine isn’t the main draw of the faire. Faire goers enjoy events such as The Human Chess Match, a personal favorite of mine.

The match is played with the actors at the faire acting as the chess pieces of the Queen and her opposer of the day. They engage in choreographed fighting that has the actors doing

nal joust. The final joust decides the winner of the historical conflict that is happening.

The opposers span the entire length of Elizabeth II’s reign. After the final joust, Queen Elizabeth, always victorious, creates peace with her opposition. Then all the people of Mount Hope join each other at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in a joyous song and dance to celebrate the victory and the reign of the Queen.

You know what really ruffles my feathers?

Chris Fravel Staff Writer cfravel@lhup.edu

You know what really ruffles my feathers?

Breast cancer.

The most common types of breast cancer are invasive ductal carcinoma, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), infiltrating (invasive) lobular carcinoma and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). I could define each of them for you, but I think it’d be better if you did your own research and really got to know the facts about breast cancer. Being educated saves lives.

But let me give you some general facts to motivate you further.

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. That’s scary. It’s also most common in women and is the second leading cause of death in the female population. Each year roughly 220,000 women in the United States alone are diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 of them will die from it.

Seriously ladies, let me be real: keep checking for breast cancer.

There are too many of you beautiful women out there to lose to this ugly disease.

How does one detect breast cancer? Well it’s simple--you can have a regular mammogram with your doctor or even give yourself a breast self-exam. Either way, make sure you do it regularly. This isn’t something to skip. If you find something abnormal

Warning: technology harmful to kids

Vicky Kramer Staff Writer vak1553@lhup.edu

during one of these checks, follow-up with your doctor and have it examined further.

Fellas make sure you pay attention because though it’s not as common, we can get breast cancer too.

Be aware of any changes in your chest and if there are any that don’t seem right, have them checked out.

Why am I talking about this in my article? It’s my way of fighting breast cancer and promoting awareness in the midst of breast cancer awareness month. My family has been impacted greatly by breast cancer.

In fact it rocked us when I was just a toddler. My grandmother died on my third birthday from breast cancer, just five days before my sister, Rachael, was born.

Rachael never knew her and I don’t really remember her and that alone causes me to hate breast cancer more than anything--that feeling of not knowing who she was or what she believed or what role she would have played in my life today.

I don’t wish that on anyone, not even my worst enemies, and that’s why I urge you to please be aware of it and get checked regularly.

Nobody deserves to have that happen to them or somebody they love. Also, don’t just keep this information for yourself; pass it on to your mom, sister, cousin, grandmother, whoever so they can fight too.

I say that we all make an effort to ruffle feathers this time. Let’s ruffle breast cancer’s feathers by fighting back, being aware and hopefully one day finding a cure.

Today we live in a very technologically-driven society. Cell phones are a necessity for wherever one goes and laptops and tablets are constantly improving and becoming more compact. Children of this generation are being submerged in a society where it is almost impossible to survive without the usage of technology. Is this a concern for the youth of our country or not?

As a child of the 90s, widespread technology usage (as we think of it today) was in its early stages and had not developed into something that consumed our everyday lives. My parents didn’t own cell phones. They used landlines and pay phones. We had one VCR located in our living room and that was a pretty big deal.

During my pre-school days, the majority of my time was spent outside playing with my neighborhood friends. Whether it was playing tag, cops and robbers, or riding our bikes, technology was the further thing from our minds. Instead, we made our own fun by using our imaginations.

In some ways, technology is a wonderful invention that has completely changed the world and the way we communicate. Like anything else, when used correctly and moderately, it can be a very useful. iPads and computers are great materials for in-classroom use with children.

These tools can allow students to interact with and better understand material by engaging with technology in so many ways. They’re simultaneously learning how to properly use modern technology in order to benefit their learning experience.

However the unfortunate reality isn’t usually this ideal. Rather, technology has been entirely overused and misused by children who have and will continue to pay the price.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the child obesity rate has tripled in the past 30 years. Much of this problem has been linked to technology usage among children and a lack of physical activities.

Dr. Larry Rosen, a professor in adolescent development at California State stated, “Too much television and other digital screens can cause harm to kids growing up over time. These devices have an almost obsessive pull towards them.

There’s certainly no other toy that can compare with the interactivity of a high-definition screen.”

Technology can hinder a child’s creativity which incapacitates any potential for cognitive improvement. We must limit the use of technology and focus on human interaction, social skills and problem solving.

It irritates me when I see parents flop their child in front of a television to keep them occupied or hand them their smartphone whenever the child wants it.

We need to open our eyes and focus on what is best for our youth.

It’s the “old-fashioned” values that we must get back to. Children should be playing outside, using their imaginations and creating their own fun.

Instead of buying the child in your life a videogame this Christmas, get them a bat and a ball and watch as they let their creativity flow.

Kim Myers, a kindergarten teacher said it best: “the technology is not the enemy; the enemy is too much technology.”

Persuasive powers of moderation Sarah Eckrich Opinion Editor seckrich@lhup.edu

One of the phrases repeated to me throughout my childhood was, “all things in moderation”.

It means that too much of anything is a bad thing.

It represents a virtue demanding restraint and begging for equal footing.

Yet society likes to see things in black and white, one end of the spectrum or the other, failing to acknowledge that any middle-ground might exist. The focus is on politicians and cultural figures who act in a radical manner and harbor unreasonable beliefs. There is a fixation on exaggerations rather than actual issues. It is a fixation on extremes.

Extremes are best left to endeavors like sports and world records, the types of activities that fulfill some positive purpose and more or less acknowledge their own dramatic nature.

The fanatics who are highlighted every day lack an awareness of lying outside of reason. The few that are aware play this dependable spotlight as part of an advantageous ruse.

Zealots are not admired. People examine them to vilify them for crossing the line by separat-

ing acceptable and deplorable behavior. They are used as a model of what not to be or how not to successfully forward your own agenda.

Logic follows that the model for good behavior should be someone who doesn’t fall to extremes; someone who tends to shy away from the cliff’s edge and towards common ground. They must be someone who you might call, oh I don’t know, a moderate.

The word moderate has bad connotations.

Outside of sarcastic remarks about extremists, you don’t hear it much. This says that one of two things must be true: people either believe that moderates are an extinct breed or that moderation isn’t any more worthy a doctrine than extremism.

I am someone who looks for common ground in all situations. I have my beliefs and I stand by them but I also recognize that I’ll never change what anyone else thinks by trying to bully them into agreeing. If I can find commonplace in ultimate goals or roots of a belief, I stand a much better chance at successful persuasion. I can foster compromise (and we all know what happens when people can’t compromise—see our broken government).

In the firing line with the extremists are a lot of people like me. We are attacked for not being

passionate enough, called wishy-washy and passive and accused of not staying true to our causes because of a willingness to compromise with the opposition.

I’ve got a message for the moderation-haters: you need it and you need us. That’s right.

Like parents trust what they’ve taught their children enough to send them into the world alone, we trust that our beliefs are deeply instilled enough not to be in jeopardy when we open ourselves to the opposition.

We’re not unsure of our convictions. We’re secure enough that we don’t have to make exhibitions of grandeur out of them. Our demur appearance is a deceptive advantage. Our appeals to both sides grant us a great degree of manipulation in situations.

It’s basic human nature: nobody wants to feel attacked or disrespected. We all strive for validity and understanding on some level. This simple principle is also a battle tactic. Creating a comfortable environment and diffusing tension is not bending backwards for the enemy. It is a sign of a greater awareness.

So unless you’d enjoy a lifetime of governmental snafus and infinite unresolved arguments, you’d better learn to appreciate people like me.

Bond bounces back Josh Copeland Staff Writer jcoplan@lhup.edu

Success without adversity is usually found in a fairy tale. Striding for perfectionist is impossible in a world full of error.

Redshirt sophomore Julian Bond faced his moment of adversity when he missed his sophomore season because of shoulder injury.

He started his college career as a starter for the Bald Eagles, but later that season, was sidelined by the injury that required surgery.

Bond started a promising freshman debut season, as he averaged 7.4 points and one steal per game.

His career high was 18 against

California University of Pennsylvania.

The 6’0, 190 pound guard from Plymouth Whitemarsh, where he won a state championship, is looking to put away his past, and to continue to build his future.

“I am just going to practice and compete at the highest level every day,” said Bond. “If I do just that everything else will fall in place.”

He is preparing to elevate his game to the next level since his freshman year.

“I think that year off gave me a chance to watch the game from another view,” Bond said. “It let me learn the game and mature as a basketball player.”

Coach Nestor is looking for Bond to contribute in a major way this year.

“His toughness and work ethic

are two things we were missing last year” Coach Nestor said. “I know I am excited to have him back on the floor.”

The Bald Eagles have started practicing for the season. Their first official game is at home on Nov. 13th against Davis & Elkins.

Junior Wali Hepburn said his teammate is a fighter.

“Julian missed a whole season last year, I know it had to be hard for him to be there watching. But it showed a lot of perseverance and fight, and its good to see him back on the court,” said Hepburn.

Bond believes his team is ready to compete at the highest level. If they continue to achieve, anything is possible.

“This year is the foundation to turn Lock Haven basketball in to a winning program,” Bond said.

LHU took a 6-1 lead and went on to win the set 25-17.

Lady Eagles scored the first point of the set. And junior Cody Anderson, couldn’t agree more with captain Hudak.

“Winning the first point gets us off to a good start and the confidence to keep going,” Anderson said.

But LHU eventually trailed 18-20 and had to take its first timeout. The Rams then took a timeout while in the lead 20-23.

The Lady Eagles take their second timeout of the set with it being tied up 2323 and came out on top, 2523.

Next match for the Lady Eagles is Oct. 18, against Slippery Rock and Edinboro home.

The Lady Eagles won two of three matches securing their win over West Chester Friday, Oct. 11.

The Lady Eagles came back after a hard defeat from Pitt-Johnson.

“We needed to manage our side of the net better and focus more on what we were doing on our side,” said Head Coach Dan Kreiger. “We didn’t focus on who we were playing, but more on us.”

The record of the Lady Eagles in PSAC is 3-5 with 14 games left in the season.

In the first game against West Chester, LHU scored the first point and fought

hard to pull ahead for a 2519 victory.

“The momentum is a huge key in volleyball,” said captain Kaliegh Hudak who lead the team with 15 kills in the game.

The first point was disputed when the referee called LHU for too many touches.

That call helped West Chester take an early 7-2 lead.

The Eagles kept fighting to tie it up, 9-9, before falling short, 20-25.

“The first set was hard,” West Chester coach Kassie Bellaver said. “But the girls have a lot of resiliency. We lost our setter after eight matches due to a broken hand. We keep getting thrown a lot of curve balls.

The girls have met the challenge due to the fact they had to change their lineup after every set.”

Ship ends home streak Bret Pallotto Guest Writer bmp6070@lhup.edu

Redshirt freshman Caleb Walton sparked the Bald Eagles, but Shippensburg (4-2,3-0) defeated Lock Haven (2-4,1-2) 30-24 in PSAC East action at Hubert Jack Stadium this past Saturday.

The first five drives of the game for LHU resulted in three and outs along with a 10-0 deficit before the team managed to pick up a first down. The score was 16-0 heading into halftime and turned into a 23-0 deficit after Shippensburg received the 2nd half kickoff and drove down the field in six plays which was capped by a 30-yard touchdown run.

LHU seemed to seize the momentum after junior George Christas intercepted a pass and returned it to the LHU 46-yard line. Senior running back Brandon Brader's 49-yard run down to the Shippensburg seven yard line appeared to set the team up well. The team was not able to capitalize though as their fourth down attempt was batted down at the line of scrimmage.

The first play of the first quarter earned Walton his first career touchdown pass; a 53-yard catch and run pass to sophomore Jeremy Cornelius. A two-point conversion made the score 23-11. Shippensburg responded with a touchdown drive of their own to make the score 30-11 with 11:37 remaining in the game.

The ensuing LHU drive was led by Walton who was able to scramble nine yards on 3rd and eight to keep the drive alive. Later in the drive, Walton found Jesse Hoover for 14-yards on 4th and two which kept the drive alive again. Sophomore Beau Swales ended the drive with a three yard touchdown run which drew Lock Haven closer with a score of 30-18.

Following a three and out by Shippensburg, a quick three play, 60-yard drive that lasted all of 57 seconds cut Shippensburg's lead to 30-24. That touchdown proved to be the final one for either team as Shippensburg ran the final 5:13 off the clock.

Lock Haven showed a lot of heart and resiliency during the Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Out; just like those affected by the life-changing condition. The squad will return to Hubert Jack Stadium this Saturday, Oct. 19 for Homecoming. The team takes on No. 17 West Chester at noon.

Season looking bright for Neff Photo courtesy of Sports Information

A Lock Haven University wrestler is looking at huge season after having a sensational first year.

141-pound redshirt-sophomore Dan Neff is excited to start the new season and is looking for a better season than last year. Neff went 2611 last year and went 1-2 in the NCAA championships in Des Moines, Iowa.

“My main goal for this season is to get up on the podium at nationals, become an All-American and perhaps win a national championship,” Neff said.

Neff had a great season but there is only one man on his mind that he wants to beat from last year. That man is Edinboro’s Mitchell Port.

“I am very looking forward to facing Mitchell again this year,” Neff said. “He’s a national

finalist and I am right there with him.”

Neff said that the one match he is looking forward to this year is when they travel to three-time defending national champions Penn State.

New head coach Scott Moore said he is hoping for Neff to be an All-American despite the fact that Neff is only a redshirt-sophomore.

“He has beaten All-Americans before and that is not an easy thing to do,” said Moore.

Assistant Coach Matt Bonson believes that Neff’s biggest opponent is himself. “He just needs to believe in himself and not worry about the guy he’s facing in front of him,” Bonson said. “[He needs to] do what he does best: winning his match.”

Lock Haven wrestling hosts its annual crimson and white exhibition on Wednesday Oct. 30 at the Thomas Fieldhouse.

The Eagles officially opened up their season when they host two dual matches against Shippensburg University and Bucknell University on Saturday Nov. 2.
