There are clubs on campus such are national Student Association, which offer a wide range of activities to increase cultural awareness and provide a safe space to minority students. events like the Culture through Coffee, where they share the food and drink of a select country every semester.

‘People should cherish one another’ Student recounts spec. ed. trip to Dominican Republic Grace Uravic Guest Writer gsu2817@lhup.edu The LHU Special Education Department visited parts of the Dominican Republic from Jan. 6 through 16 for the second year in a row. Special education department chair Jane Penman, Ph. D., has organized the trip both years and agrees that the students took a lot from the three credit study abroad course.

“This year, I believe that the LHU students were able to make stronger connections with one community, Mendoza, and more fully understand the Dominican culture,” she said.

“The trip gave all 20 LHU students hands on experience teaching children, even though none of us were at two different schools.”

At one school, we taught them English on subjects such as numbers, body parts,

even our own hometowns.

The second school we organized a science fair in groups of two. They learned science lessons, such as weather, temperature, climate change, tornadoes, etc. The children were very energetic, affectionate, and kind to us. nearby these schools! back to the poor communities in areas such as the small town we stayed in, Mendoza, and a remote village up in a mountain, Narajito. In Mendoza and Narajito, we did a food outreach giving out bags of basic food essentials for various families. Also in Mendoza we did a Medical Outreach where the people were given free check ups and medication.

The children were given dental check-ups, medicine, a toothbrush and toothpaste. citizens of Mendoza with our Medical Outreach and gave away a total of more than 200 food bags.

Before we did that, we hosted a small carnival at their local playground. painting, arts and crafts, and even a clown to make balloon animals!

Later we visited a group reproduced the carnival we put on for the children of Mendoza and hung out with them for an evening, dancing and singing as well.

Academies that train Dominican baseball players for teams such as the Colorado Rockies and The New York to meet Ozzie Virgil, the

lic citizen to play in MLB in 1956. He’s played for dozens of teams across the US and Canada.

Once it was time to go, many tears were shed by many of us, not wanting to leave this lovely country.

The people that helped us along our journey were nothing but kind to us, and

treated us like their own.

Abigail Frisch, a junior mid-level education major, felt that same sentiment.

“From my experience in the Dominican Republic, I learned how much people should cherish one another.

I learned to treat everyone like family and be there when people need help or an ear to listen,” Frisch said.

“The overall trip was such an eye opening experience to the culture, lifestyle, and love that each and everyone of the Dominican people possessed. I will truly miss the beautiful people and this once in a lifetime experience.”

They were so grateful to everything we gave them.

Nora Simcox, a senior early childhood and special education major, experienced that was on the trip. where the majority of people had practically nothing and, yet, everyone was so happy and kind and willing

to give whatever they had,” she said. “I will never forget playing baseball with the local kids across the street. stick as a bat and pieces of paper and scraps of garbage as bases. It was so simple and still the most fun I’ve ever had.”

Fifty Shades of

Excitement

Sammantha Armstrong Guest Writer sarmstr2@lhup.edu

With the Fifty Shades of Grey release this past Friday, women everywhere have been in a daze over the main character, Christian Grey. trailer was released and the excitement has been mounting ever since.

With it’s release on Valentine’s Day weekend, there is no surprise $94.4 million, beating out the previous record of Valentine’s Day. Christian Grey, portrayed by Jamie Dornan, plays a young business magnate in the books and movie. Grey is the type of man that every woman wants to be with, in my opinion. Dornan ladies talking about the steamy scenes in the movie.

Dakota Johnson was chosen to play the role of Anastasia Steele, who plays a college graduate who is currently writing articles about the infamous Christian Grey. I believe that she was for this role because she is portrayed in the books as someone who is innocent and sweet. Sam Taylor-Johnson,

OR

the director of Fifty Shades of Grey helped keep these important characteristics of Anastasia.

Fans have expressed their disappointments in regards to some scenes from the book that were not in the movie, but despite this fact it captures the sexual essence E. L. James, author of the trilogy, was trying to get across.

People who have seen the movie already want to see it again.

Rebecca Mann said, “It was one of the

best movies worth it. I am even going to see it again with friends.”

The hype of this release has tions of the viewers. Another moviegoer Meredith Fay said, “I was expectations.”

With this type of reaction, producers were smart to make sure this movie lived up to all of the expectations.

The only thing that fans are still waiting for after this sequel Fifty Shades Darker will come out.

Abuse?

Sam Shirk Staff Writer sxs1090@lhup.edu The long awaited Fifty Shades of Grey hit theaters on February aters to see it. According to imdb, it’s currently ranked in the box like a pretty good movie then, right? I think not.

We live in a world that is currently sex-obsessed. Sex is everywhere in media at the current moment, it’s in everything we watch and everything we listen to.

It’s also being heavily used to sell products. Fifty Shades of Grey only adds to this obsession. anything, I’d classify it as a bad porno. The idea behind the movie may be an interesting concept but it’s also morally wrong. The story is about a college senior named Anastasia Steele hooking up with a billionaire named Christian Grey.

While their ages are close, the area where it’s morally wrong is the fact that it takes the idea of mixing business with pleasure to the extreme.

Don’t get me wrong, I like a good romance story as much as the next person but when you write about a relationship revolving around nothing but sex, it gets to be a bit much. Christian even admits to not wanting a romantic relationship with Ana! He comes up with a CONTRACT stating that fact, that whole exchange just blows my mind!!

Another thing that bugs me is that, despite the sex scenes not

even being written well and being far too extreme, people love it. And what also sickens me is the fact that people are going nuts over something which is almost as low as pornography. Almost everyone looks down on something as dirty as that so why is Fifty Shades acceptable?

A major thing that bothers me as well, is I feel this book shows a weak female character. I feel like this character is extremely submissive and lets Christian do whatever he wants. I know that’s the whole point of the relationship but I feel it’s over the top. I feel like Christian sends her a bunch of gifts and then wins her over and I’m not even fully sure Ana fully enjoys what she’s doing with Christian, it sure doesn’t seem like it. One of the scenes that really bothers me is when Ana feels her and Christian are not compatible and she’s devastated over it! I feel like screaming “Get over yourself woman, have some more decency then that.”

This movie (or book) treats sex like it’s nothing and it shouldn’t be like that. This shouldn’t be acceptable and to me it’s a huge embarrassment in our society. We have to stop letting stuff like this get published. There’s plenty of other amazing movies and books out there to choose from, especially in the romance category!

aren’t really sure if this whole thing is just one shot at

‘If you’re reading this it’s too late.’ That’s all the album (or mixtape) said on the cover of Drake’s latest music that dropped midnight randomly last Thursday. Interestingly enough this came at a rather curious time.

With all of the drama surrounding Lil Wayne and Cash Money this raises a lot of questions. According to Pitchfork.com, “on a random December afternoon when Wayne gave a curt Twitter update on his long-gestating Tha Carter V album, blaming Birdman and Cash Money for the holdup and demanding an exit from the label he’s called home most of his life.

He’s since initiated an audacious $51 million lawsuit requesting not only his own exit but that of Drake and Nicki Minaj as well.”

This puts a whole new spin on this album. People Photo from ulife.vpul.upenn.edu

but this lawsuit is happening and that means either two things are going to happen. Either Birdman and Lil Wayne will come to an agreement, or Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki are all going to leave. This could be the start of a brand new record label.

However, with all that being said the more important part is the music behind the drama. I think we’re starting to see the transformation of someone who isn’t going to be making music like he previously has. While much of 100’ and even the same sound as music artists like Future would put out.

For a hot minute, I thought I was listening to Future, than I remembered oh yeah this is Drake. Weird. I’m not sure if whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but you it’s too late’ anywhere, it’s that easy. Just go surf the internet. Just do it.

The Saturday Night Live app steals the show Cierra Cook Lifestyles Editor cdc8693@lhup.edu

Saturday Night Live just celebrated its 40 year anniversary this last Sunday. A few days before the historic 40th anniversary episode a digital app was launched containing 5,500 clips over the 40 seasons.

The app is interesting because it will adapt to what you want to see. It will ask you to pick favorite characters, or even your favorite time periods.

After a while the app will learn what kind of comedy you want to be watching using an algorithm and will have your favorite sketches ready for you.

The app also features behind the scenes clips of hosts and cast members of the show.

The new NBC app is also trying to keep the adds down between clips.

The time between ads is based on how long of clips the person watches, not by how many videos they watch. “People will get a new video ad roughly every six minutes,” said Rob Hayes executive Vice President of media at NBC. The app also comes with a emoji keyboard where you can get emojis of your favorite SNL characters.

The SNL app is only available for iPads and iPhones in the Apple App Store at this time, but there is an Android version in the works.

If you are a Saturday Night Live fan this app is great. You can watch your favorite characters or even check out new sketches you haven’t seen.

More videos will continue to be added for one great comedy experience. Be sure to check it out!

The Perfect Popcorn simplyrecipies.com INGREDIENTS 3 Tbsp coconut, peanut, or canola oil (high smoke point oil) 1/3 cup of high quality popcorn kernels 1 3-quart covered saucepan 1 Tbsp or more (to taste) of butter (optional) Salt to taste

1: Heat the oil in a 3-quart saucepan on medium high heat. If you are using

coconut oil, allow all of the solid oil to melt.

2: Put 3 or 4 popcorn kernels into the oil and cover the pan.

3: When the kernels pop, add the rest of the 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels in an even layer. Cover, remove from heat and count 30 seconds. (Count out loud; it’s then waiting 30 seconds brings all of the other kernels to a near-popping temperature so that when they are put back on the heat, they all pop at about the same time.

4:Return the pan to the heat. The popcorn should begin popping soon, and all at once. Once the popping starts in earnest, gently shake the pan by moving it back and forth over the burner.

Try to keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam from the popcorn release (the popcorn will be drier and crisper).

Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid, and dump the popcorn immediately into a wide bowl.

With this technique, nearly all of the kernels pop, and nothing burns.

5: If you are adding butter, you can easily melt it by placing the butter in the now empty, but hot pan. Note that if you let the butter get just a little bit popcorn. (Here’s more info on how to brown butter.) Just drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn and toss to distribute.Salt to taste.

Love the one you’re with Nicole Creamer Staff Writer nac8638@lhup.edu

In the movie “He’s Just Not That into You,” one of the female characters states, “A wise person once told me that if a guy wants to be with a girl, he will make it happen, no matter what.”

This got me thinking. What I’d like to know is if this is the case then why and how do people still choose the wrong person?

Repeatedly, year after year, we go after people who don’t actually care, people who don’t reciprocate our love. We choose the people we think we deserve.

We choose bad people because we think we deserve bad people. We choose people who won’t love us with the passion and desire we have for them because we think we deserve pain.

It’s hard to believe that our friends and family members go around picking people who treat them horribly, but this happens every day. We want so badly to snap them back to reality and to make them see that they have so much more going for them.

Sometimes we even want to prove to them that we are the better choice. We have always been there and will always be there to pick up the pieces when anything goes wrong. Through all the happy, sad and frustrating times, we are

the ones who have their backs and catch them when they fall.

Sadly, life doesn’t work this way. They probably won’t notice the person who has been there all along because, let’s be real, this isn’t a movie. People don’t realize what their true worth is.

However, I like to believe that this still can happen sometimes. If someone realizes they could have better than that person gets to be so much happier and better off. They might even start noticing good in themselves and others that they never did before.

It doesn’t matter how long it takes a person to realize it. It only matters that they do eventually realize the value placed on them by the people who actually care, one hundred percent.

That’s the funny thing about us humans. We let so much hurt us that we never stop to notice the things that, let alone the people who make us happy.

These people could make all the difference in our lives, but in the end we accept only as much love as we think we deserve.

So yes a wise person might have said that if a guy wants a girl it will happen, but if we look around, too many people—male and female—are choosing the wrong person, making it hard for the right one to be seen.

Forget about who you think you deserve because most likely you think you deserve worse than you actually do. Instead, try looking at who you already have.

Sick of attendance policies Sarah Eckrich Opinion Editor seckrich@lhup.edu For the past week, I’ve been drowning in a sea of tissues and medicine cups.

I’m no stranger to sickness. Growing up with parents who both have an autoimmune disorder, I thought it was normal for people to get so sick every winter that they’d wind up bedridden or before I even turned 11.

And it didn’t stop there. I started getting fevers so high that I hallucinated. My mom would get up every few hours to take my temperature and make sure I got a dose of Ibuprofen or Tylenol, whichever’s turn it was since I needed both to keep my fever low enough not to, well kill me, frankly.

Since I was about 14 years old, I’ve had a better handle on my health. Mostly, at least. Between learning to change my eating and sleeping habits and trying to manage my stress better, I’ve been able to conquer most winters with little more than a head cold. Still, in the last decade, a season

or two has gotten away from me. This year has been one of those years, in a bigger way than ever before.

Given my checkered medical history, I’m pretty used to dealing with the complications and consequences of being sick. Not only do I know how to keep my fever below 104 degrees, but I know how to play catch-up with my school work.

K-12 playing make-up with school work was simply a matter of communicating with teachers—something my parents were legally tasked with—and producing a note from a doctor. The two elements together unlocked the gates to the kingdom of take-home work. While my peers labored mom’s couch at home and tackled the same work, and took home the same above-average grades as usual.

The process isn’t so simple in college. I now pay for every single class that I take and I’m a percentage of my grade because of missing school when I’m sick.

Don’t get me wrong; there are a lot of professors here on campus who, formal attendance

policy or not, will be accommodating and compassionate human beings if you just communicate with them. However, there are just as many (if not more) who seem to get some sick satisfaction from holding fast to tyrannical tenants of attendance that leave no room for people like me who can’t always be in class but who could get the work done just as well anyways with a little accommodation in the form of some understanding.

I know there are a lot of students who lie and take advantage of kind teachers. But in my mind, if a student can produce adequate work and demonstrate a working knowledge of the material without being in class, it shouldn’t generally matter that they’re not there or why anyway (there are exceptions, times when I think attendance is imperative, but that’s less often than more).

In any case, the demand for physical attendance by professors is hurting students whose circumstances make a traditional educational experience impossible. Attendance is a really important and inherently essential.

Students shouldn’t be hindered from succeeding and earning the same good grades as their peers

John Allen Resigns from LHU Bret Pallotto Sports Editor bmp6070@lhup.edu Lock Haven University head football coach John Allen announced his resignation from the position.

Allen came to LHU in March of 2011 and in his second season, 2012, he helped the Bald Eagles snap their 52-game losCheyney.

In an article released on Lock Haven’s athletic website, Allen said, “I’m leaving to pursue other opportunities. I want to thank everyone at Lock Haven University and the Lock Haven community for their support over the past four years.”

In his third season, Allen helped the program eliminate some dreadful distinctions. The team went 3-8 in 2013 which was the most wins for the team since 2004. In week eight of that same

season, Allen led Lock Haven to a road victory over Millersville which snapped a 30-game road losing streak which dated back to 2007. That same season saw the team get off to a 2-1 start, which marked since 2002. With their week 3 victory in 2013, Allen and his team earned three since 2002 as well.

Allen’s career record at LHU was 6-37 (.140 winning percentage).

Lock Haven has said that, “A search committee is being assembled and a national search for LHU’s next head football coach will begin immediately.”

There was no conversation publicly about Allen’s resignation nor where he intends to take his career from here. The resignation comes as a surprise because the team announced their summer camp dates on LHU athletic’s website on Feb 10. In the release, it said, “The camp will be directed by head coach John Allen.”
