Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education to freeze tuition for 2022-23 academic year Julie Stellfox Director of Media Relations jms883@lockhaven.edu The Board of Governors for Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education, including Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, and Mansfield Universities voted today to freeze tuition for an unprecedented fourth consecutive year. Last October, the board requested $550 million in state funding for the next fiscal year to offset the need for a tuition increase. As part of a renewed partnership between the State System and the Commonwealth, the board is also seeking $201 million in direct-to-student aid and at least $75 million of the remaining $150 million in federal funding the General Assembly and governor have committed to continue the robust transformation of state-owned universities. “On behalf of our students and their families, I am grateful to the Board of Governors for freezing in-state tuition for the fourth consecutive year,” said Bashar Hanna, president of Bloomsburg University and interim president of Lock Haven and Mansfield universities. “We are living through uncertain economic times, and we must do all we can to keep public higher education affordable for our students.” “Pennsylvania’s economy depends on the talented and welleducated graduates from the stateowned universities, and we are focused on providing a quality and affordable public education to students of all backgrounds,” said Cindy Shapira, chair of the Board of Governors. “We are hopeful the legislature supports our funding request so we can maintain the tuition freeze. With all of the other rising costs in our economy, working families should not have to worry about paying more for tuition at a public university.” Nearly 90,000 students attend a State System university, making it the largest producer of bachelor’s degrees in Pennsylvania. Over 88% of the student body resides in Pennsylvania, and 78% of graduates from Pennsylvania are working within the Commonwealth three years after earning their degree.
“The State System is keeping its promise to the General Assembly to redesign, and that process is delivering positive results for our students and for the state,” said State System Chancellor Daniel Greenstein. “With additional investments from the state, the System can freeze tuition so more students can afford a high-quality public higher education as we work together to make Pennsylvania’s workforce stronger.” Basic tuition for in-state undergraduate students at the System’s universities has been $7,716 for the last three years. “Just freezing tuition is not a sustainable strategy without meaningful investment from the Commonwealth,” Greenstein said. “Pennsylvania must invest in its state-owned universities if we want them to continue providing the high-quality, affordable education they were born to deliver.” Pennsylvania ranks 46th in the nation in terms of investment per student in state-owned, four-year universities, and state funding has declined 35% ($252 million) from 2000-01 when adjusted for inflation. The need to invest in public higher education is evident in the chronic shortage of college-educated workers. Today, six in 10 jobs require a college degree or credential, but only 51% of Pennsylvania workers have that education. That talent gap is experienced across health care, information technology, education and other vital industries and leaves businesses unable to hire the talented people they need to succeed. Freezing tuition for a fourth year, increasing student aid and continuing the System redesign will keep highquality education accessible to more Pennsylvanians. It will enable more low- and middle-income high school students and adults looking to re-skill to get the quality higher education that Pennsylvania needs to start closing the workforce talent gap.

nance and facility debt policies and the role that college senior leaders can and should play in managing athletics. Weaver has been a part of Penn GSE since 2007, when she began her doctoral studies in higher education management. After graduation, she left a more than 30-year career in college athletics to join the faculty at Drexel University. She began teaching at Penn GSE in 2012 and joined as an adjunct assistant professor in 2020.

Apr. 15, 2022 Bruce Willis officially retires from acting Alex Ross A&E Section Editor amr1884@lockhaven.edu
Bruce Willis and his family have announced the veteran actor will retire from acting following an aphasia diagnosis. A statement was posted on Willis and his family members’ social media. Aphasia is a language disorder that affects the brain’s ability to communicate with others. The statement reads “To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities.” It continues with saying “As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.” The announcement came to the surprise of many fans and those that worked beside him. John Travolta and Sylvester Stallone both posted on Instagram messages of support to Willis and his family. “We go back a long way, praying for the best for you and your wonderful family…” Stallone’s post reads. M. Night Shyamalan, director of “The Sixth Sense,” sent his regards and support through
Twitter too. All my love and respect to my big brother Bruce Willis,” Shyamalan tweeted. “I know his wonderful family is surrounding him with support and strength. He will always be that hero on that poster on my wall as a kid.” Bruce Willis’s career was varied beyond belief, breaking out onto television in the comedy-drama series “Moonlighting” from 1985 to 1989. In 1988, “Die Hard” was met with acclaim from both critics and audiences alike. As the lead role, Willis became a household name immediately after the film’s release. Die Hard would spawn numerous sequels, all starring Willis as John McClane. The 90s would become Willis’s most varied decade, with roles in “Pulp Fiction,” “12 Monkeys,” and “The Sixth Sense.” Willis also voice acted in “Beavis and Butt-head Do America” as well as acting in a video game, “Apocalypse.” On top of acting, Bruce Willis was a singer as well, releasing two studio albums in the 1980s.

A deep dive on Soundcloud Rap Kassidee Wozniak Online Editor kbw191@lockhaven.edu
Many upcoming musicians use SoundCloud to produce their early content prior to joining an actual music label. SoundCloud is an online music distribution platform that enables users to upload and share music for listeners to stream their content. One of the music genres created from this platform is SoundCloud rap. Popular SoundCloud rappers include Juice World, Lil Peep, Post Malone, Rico Nasty, Ski Mask the Slump God, Trippie Redd and XXXTENTACION. Another name for SoundCloud rap is Mumble rap which is a microgenre of hip hop that was mainly spread in early 2010s on the online audio platform SoundCloud. The platform is recognized for the early stages of current mainstream rappers prior to obtaining fame in the music industry. Many artists have a dependency
on auto-tune in their early stages because they were still in the works of developing their signature voice aka their identity. There were no rules on the platform on how someone should create music which resulted in the creative freedom that led to SoundCloud rap. SoundCloud rap doesn’t have one certain sound, it’s a mixture of hip-hop and rebellion to what’s considered normal. The genre can be considered the teenage moody version of classic hip hop. There is a wide variety of styles used in SoundCloud rap and the beauty of it is that there are enough musicians for anyone to connect to through music. If you are a fan of early 2010s rap, you may want to check out those rappers on SoundCloud for their underground music.

Apr. 15, 2022 The mystery CD playlist: “Unmarked #6”
Alex Ross A&E Section Editor amr1884@lockhaven.edu
On April 9th, 2022, 2 staff members for the Eagle Eye were organizing the CDs and records in the WLHU broadcast station. Among the numerous LPs, singles, and albums were blank, mostly unnamed CDs. This mystery made us at the EE very curious. After solving what were on these mixtapes, we decided it would be best to post these as playlists in the Eagle Eye. For the sake of brevity, the playlist will be cut down. Enjoy the mix of weird pop and rock from an unknown student at LHU!
“Wind It Up” by Gwen Stefani - I prefer when Gwen Stefani was a part of No Doubt, but as far as her solo work goes, this isn’t bad! “Hollaback Girl” is much better, despite the negative reception it got by critics at the time. “Break It Off” by Rhianna and Sean Paul - Sean Paul is a name I haven’t heard since middle school. What a throwback!
“Chicken Noodle Soup” by DJ Webstar and Young B - Not gonna lie, when I saw the title of this song, I laughed for a hot “Fergalicious” by Fergie and will.i.am minute. It’s pretty okay but wow, what a A modern classic that broke barriers. I can bad title. see why someone would bop to this. “Push It” by Salt-n-Pepa - Salt-n-Pepa does not get enough credit. They pushed the door open for female rappers in the mainstream. They deserve to be on any playlist. “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!” by Vengaboys - Odd choice but alright! The name “Vengaboys” brings back some memories for me. Not necessarily great memories, but memories nonetheless. “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)” by Rhythm Starz - Wasn’t this in an “Austin Powers” movie? Correct me if I am wrong, please, because I vividly remember Dr. Evil dancing to this for a bit.

Tasty Easter recipes Kit Taveras Lifestyles Editor mxt9438@lockhaven.edu Everyone already knows what the best part of Easter is—the food. More specifically, the desserts are to die for. This article will provide two easy-tomake, tasty desserts to enjoy with your loved ones once Easter rolls around! Carrot Cake Cookies Ingredients: 1 cup of salted butter, softened; 1 cup of light brown sugar; 1/2 cup of granulated sugar; 2 large eggs, at room temperature; 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract; 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour; 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoons of ground ginger; 3/4 teaspoons of baking powder; 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon of salt; 2 1/2 cups of finely grated fresh carrots (from about 6 medium carrots); 1 cup chopped toasted walnuts Instructions: Preheat the cookies to 350°. Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a bowl before adding the eggs and vanilla extract, then beat well until they’re all combined. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, gradually adding flour as you go. Beat well until combined, and stir in the carrots and walnuts. Drop dollops of the dough on the baking sheets at least two inches apart and cook for 12-14 minutes until the cookies are lightly browned. For frosting, you can either use storebought or make your own, with a recipe provided in the link. Chocolate Mousse Ingredients: 3 egg yolks; 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, divided; 2 1/2 cups of heavy cream, divided; 1/4 teaspoon of salt; 7 ounces of bittersweet or dark chocolate bars, chopped; 1/2 teaspoons of espresso powder, optional; 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, optional; Chocolate shavings and raspberries, for serving Instructions: Whisk the egg yolks with 1/4 cups of sugar until the sugar is dissolved. In a pot, com-
bine the heavy cream and salt and bring them over medium heat until they simmer. Lightly drizzle the cream into the egg mixture while whisking, then put the egg mixture in the pot and whisk well. Return to medium-low heat and stir with a spatula until the mixture is thick enough to coat it. Put it in a large bowl and refrigerate it until it becomes cool (approximately 20 minutes). While waiting, combine the remaining heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract, then mix until the cream is fluffy and light. Put the remaining whipped cream in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. After the bowl has cooled, stir dollops of the whipped cream into the mixture until they combine.

Anti-abortion gains legs in Oklahoma Cassandra Keller Managing Editor cmk2356@lockhaven.edu
Oklahoma governor, Kevin Stitt signed bill S.B.612 on April 05. For those who don’t know, this bill barrs any and all abortion in the state of Oklahoma except for emergency abortion that would save the pregnant woman’s life. Any doctor found performing an abortion outside of the life saving kind could face 10 years jail-time and a fine up to 100,000 dollars. This bill was modeled after the Texas bill, S.B.8, which barrs abortion after a heartbeat is detected, about six weeks into a pregnecy. It is hard to explain how upsetting it is to read articles about this and while a small part of me is glad to see a politician following through on campaign promises, I disagree with this decision. I’m not usually one to have strong opinions, but the moment a person’s choice is removed from the equation is when things go too far. I am not saying abortion is the best decison for a woman to make in any given situation or that it can’t be a good decision. Personally, I wouldn’t be able to get an abortion if I ever found myself in that kind of situation, but it comes down to choice for me. As a woman, any control I have over my body is extremely important to me, so to hear that a governing entity is taking away some of that control other women have over themselves is upsetting.
And for the religious arguments out there that claim abortion is a sin, read John 8.7-11 and take it to heart. While I feel religion of any kind shouldn’t have much influence in government, it’s there regardless. You are welcome to have your own beliefs of right and wrong, but that doesn’t give you the right to enforce those beliefs on others through laws and legislation.

The mess of scheduling during integration Levi Deitz Opinions Editor lwd6497@lockhaven.edu
As each semester at Lock Haven University winds down, students who are returning the next semester must schedule the classes that they will be taking. Whether the course is required by their major, or it’s just an elective, students must make sure they get what they need in order to eventually graduate. I am a communication major with a concentration in journalism, so naturally I take classes that are in that department. This coming fall semester is my final semester, and I only needed two more classes in the communication department to graduate, so imagine my surprise when I found out that one of the classes I needed was not going to be offered at Lock Haven. The course is, however, offered at Bloomsburg University, which is one of the schools being integrated with Lock Haven, along with Mansfield University. The communication between the higher ups and the student body has been extremely lacking. Through no fault of the professors, I feel that student’s education has been a complete afterthought through this entire process. I don’t inherently mind having to take a course through Bloomsburg, but as of this writing there are only three available spots left in the class, and I don’t really know what’s going on regarding signing up for classes at the other university. I have been reassured that I will be able to take the class, so I’m not necessarily worried about myself.
There are, however, other journalism students who will eventually need to take this class, and who knows when it will be available to be taken again. Current students at Lock Haven have repeatedly been told that the integration would not affect them very much, but scheduling classes seems like one of the most affected aspects of the process. Another issue that I have is that, if we are supposed to be integrated, why are the classes not directly available through Lock Haven’s scheduling portal? Instead, I basically have to enroll and pay through Bloomsburg’s website, and I have to use an e-mail and classroom portal that they give me. Complaining about the technological aspects of enrolling in both universities may seem petty, but my point is that this process is causing so much unneeded confusion for students who are just looking to get an education. Integration has caused much unnecessary stress on students, and I’m sure this is just the beginning of a storm to come.

Lacrosse falls on the road at IUP Doug Spatafore Senior Director of Athletic Communications & Marketing dspatafo@lockhaven.edu
On Wednesday afternoon, the Lock Haven University lacrosse team (7-5, 4-4 PSAC) fell by a 15-9 tally in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) matchup at Indiana University of Pa. (9-4, 6-2 PSAC) Lock Haven held the game close through the first 15 minutes of play, but it was the host Crimson Hawks owning a 5-3 lead after a quarter of play. After the tight opening frame, IUP netted the first five goals of the second stanza to own a 10-3 advantage with 7:05 to play in the first half. Abby Katrinak (Strongsville, Ohio/ Strongsville) netted her 20th goal of the season to put a stop to the IUP run before Krysta Reading (Warrington, Pa./Central Bucks South) scored to cut the score to a 10-5 Crimson Hawks advantage which is how the score would remain at the intermission. Out of the halftime break, IUP pushed its lead to seven goals on multiple occasions, but the Bald Eagles wouldn’t go down without a fight. Three straight LHU goals over a sevenminute stretch of action encompassing the end of the third and beginning of the fourth quarters allowed the Bald Eagles to trim the gap to four goals at a 13-9 tally with 11:09 to play.
Following the final Lock Haven tally, the Crimson Hawks controlled the rest of the contest and netted two goals along the way to take a 15-9 victory over the Bald Eagles. Caitlin Morrow (Massapequa, N.Y./Massapequa) led the Bald Eagles attack with three goals on the afternoon, including a pair of tallies off of the free position. Lauren Girardi (Watertown, N.Y./Watertown) turned away five IUP shots over 49plus minutes of action.
