A diverse education:

International students at LHU Kyra Smith-Cullen Editor-in-Chief ksmithcu@lhup.edu One of LHU’s most prominent features is the study abroad program, which markets the ability to travel internationally and learn at one of the partner universities. As a result, the school also receives foreign students.

These students make up an interesting part of LHU’s diversity because their ethnicity or race is not rosters since they pay tuition at their home universities. This is what differentiates them from the students who are labeled as ‘Non-resident alien’ because the International Students do not get a degree from LHU. However, International students bring with them the opportunity for LHU

students to learn from a new culture without traveling to do so. abroad, the Institutional Research Report indicates that the number of foreign exchange students who come of LHU plummeted in 2013.

In 2010, there were approximately 126. It dropped to half that amount in 2013, and only received three more students in 2014.

“The main reason for the decline is that, for every student we send over there, the university sends one of theirs,” said Rosana Campbell, the Director for Institute for International Studies. “For whatever reason, LHU students aren’t studying abroad and our foreign intake lowers to match that.”

However, the students who are able to come study at LHU general-

ly report a favorable atmosphere and one that is easily adjusted to.

“I did not have any problems with university has been taking care of international students,” said Mario Toledo Ros, who visited last semester from his university in Spain. “Moreover, people are always ready to help students.”

The Institute for International Studies does all they can to make the students feel at ease while at Lock Haven and takes every available opportunity to socialize and make LHU students more culturally aware.

Events like Culture through Coffee allow students to spend non-academic time with students.

“Everybody is always willing to help me in class and almost everyone is friendly,” said Toledo Ros.

Clubs seek to educate students about cultures Kyra Smith-Cullen Editor-in-Chief ksmithcu@lhup.edu

Though LHU is a primarily white campus, some clubs work to create a sense of multicultural awareness among the student body during the semesters.

Several clubs on campus are devoted to helping students learn about cultures other than their own, either through membership or campus wide activities. These clubs include the Black Student Union (BSU), The International Student Association (ISA), the Latino Student Association (LSA) and the Asian Student Association (ASA).

Each club focuses on elements of different cultures, so that the LHU students leave with a global awareness without having to leave Pennsylvania. They plan activities for the entire campus,

like the BSU’s discussion on white privilege or ISA’s semiannual Culture through Coffee.

“The Culture through Coffee gives students an up close and personal look at the different cultures,” said Laila Longer, the ISA President and a senior majoring in International Studies. “Each year, the partner schools the international students come to study from tend to vary, so we try to give everyone a chance, particularly countries we may not get many students from.”

“We try to incorporate the entire student body by discussing topics that people can relate to so that everyone may have an opinion to share,” said cation major in his junior year.

The clubs typically meet once a week for regular meetings and to discuss future events.

“Every week, our meetings are different. We sometimes teach club members how to dance

different styles, we teach each other about how different our cultures and food are,” said Sammy Done, a senior who is majoring in health science.

Currently, several of the clubs on campus are collaborating to host a series of events in March.

“We’ve been working with the other clubs to plan a bunch of events in March, including a Lip Synch battle,” said Done. “Plus, we’re planning a free trip to New York City. All of our events are free and open to anyone who wants to come.”

race, ethnicity or background and only require students to have an interest in the cultures.

Besides these clubs, there are also other groups geared toward the different interests like the Spanish Club and the Anime Club. If students want to be more culturally aware, they only need to look at the club catalogue provided by the school

Under the direction of David Leidholdt – known locally for his work at the Millbrook Playhouse in Mill Hall, Pennsylvania –The University Player’s rendition will undoubtedly lead to better results this spring. The diverse casting and countless hours of practice being put in by the cast and production crew are sure to yield a noteworthy rendition.

of the audience. This layout is sure to bring actors closer to the audience and create a different feeling than previous shows performed in the same theatre.

After discussion with the show’s choreographer, we’ve learned that dance numbers for the show are on track, and speaking from what the Eye has seen during rehearsal, the actors are doing the title of the show justice.

Music for the production will be performed by a live pit orchestra, as is usual with main stage productions at Lock Haven University. Costumes will be designed by the talented Ramona Broomer, an assistant professor in the Visual and Performing Arts department. Dr. Broomer has been responsible for creating costumes for many different main stage productions during her time at Lock Haven University.

#4 Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension: This is the sixth Paranormal one to see. It’s a big franchise, and it seems to do well

Horror movies are the best way to do something when you are bored, or when you really want a good scare. For the past couple years, scary movies more realistic, scary movies today compared to other decades are the scariest.

A lot of the scary movies today we see are paranormal movies about demons, ghosts or unusual activity created by someone from the dead. During the 1980s and ‘90s, scary movies involving murders by unusual entities like Jason, Freddy and Chucky. Since technology has changed a lot, we have hit what I like to call, “the paranormal era.” Can you imagine Paranormal Activity during the ‘80s? Probably not, it wouldn’t be successful.

But we’re in 2015, and there are a lot of scary movies coming out onto the big screen. The real question is, which ones will be worth your time to go see?

Here is a top 5 most anticipated horror movies coming out in theatres in 2015. #5 Lazarus Effect: This movie peeked my interest from the trailer. What some of you may not know, the word Lazarus means to bring back to life. If you are a big Batman fan, the villain Ra’s Al Ghul brings himself to life by throwing himself in a Lazarus pit, but the pit has an effect that makes him insane.

It’s about medical students bringing dead people to Evan Peters from American Horror Story will be worth watching.

a horror classic of our generation. In 20 years, Paranormal Activity will be the new Jason and Freddy movies to our children. #3 Unfriended: This is an interesting concept of horror that we have not seen yet, which makes this shows everyone her suicide online. Her friends post it to the world. Unexpectedly, the girl who killed herself shows up in a chat room and tortures her friends for posting her video to the world and back-stabbing her. This makes it to the list because it’s creative, and takes issues with social media to extreme measure.

Insidious Chapter 3 should be a success as well. It seems to take place of a different family, so we’ll get a fresh new story that will eventually connect to the others. ended pretty closed off. It’s not wide open, so I have no clue what could happen in the second one. Maybe there will be a new family that will continue the chain of murders after the family we saw at the end. Who knows? All I know is it’s going to be sinister!

Kids’ is just great Mat really accomplished. Peaceful harmonies coming from Mat on all ends of the voice spectrum prove his ability to sing to any beat.

Some of my favorite songs were ‘Shasta’ and ‘Let It Rain.’ I felt these songs connected with me the most because of how different they were compared to the rest of message to it. While it’s fun picking apart intricate albums, that take time to decipher hidden messages left throughout them. Sometimes it can get confusing. ‘Just Kids’ isn’t confusing.

It’s easy to resonate with the deep meanings behind these tracks and I like that. But it’s not all serious, this album is fun and will be great to jam out to on a warm summer morning.

If you’re like me and haven’t heard about Mat Kearney before I strongly recommend looking him and his music up.

Coming in as one of my new favorite albums of 2015, I can not get enough of ‘Just Kids’ and am incredibly excited to hear more from Mat Kearney as time goes on.

Among the memorable acceptance speeches, Patricia Arquette, winner of best supporting actress for her role in Boyhood, talked about equal pay.

Arquette closed her speech with, “To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation, we have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America.”

If you’re looking for a quick but entertaining read, then check out “The Mermaid’s Sister” which will be released on March 1, 2015.

The book was named Amazon. com’s 2014 Breakthrough Novel Award in the Young Adult Fiction category and is written by Williamsport resident, Carrie Anne Noble. I was able to read it prior to the release date thanks to Kindle First and never regretted picking it up.

The story is about Clara, a teenager in the 1870s who lives with her adopted family in the Pennsylvania mountains. Though it is set in our state, it is a world where magic is hidden in nature and individuals.

When Clara’s sister Maren begins to turn into a mermaid, the girl knows she must return her sister to

However, every detail is threaded through the story and returns to play an important part later on. It isn’t until Clara, Maren and O’Neill leave the mountain that things begin to move ping through the pages.

Though there is no main antagonist, Noble makes up for it by creating stumbling blocks that make the reader wonder how the heroes will make it out alive. Their biggest adversary is time as they rush to return Maren to the saltwater her body desperately needs. But the twists will leave you guessing at the end of every chapter.

The main character, Clara, expe-

riences the most growth as she moves from a reserved and cautious individual to somebody who isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and her loved ones.

Part of her struggle is her decision to surrender her sister to the sea learns that sometimes, it’s okay to who is an outgoing and passionate boy, gets taught that there are times when situations don’t go as planned.

Maren, however, proves to be a ine with mermaids, she’s vain and redeeming qualities. It’s hard to say she grows as a character because she spends much of the book as an invalid.

Other secondary characters have their own rich backstories and they act in ways that will make the readers react emotionally. Characters like Auntie, a wise old woman who raised

Clara and Maren, and Scarff, a jolly peddler, will make readers smile with their sharp humor and loving behavior.

One of the main themes of the novel is that family, whether by blood are often at odds with each other, it is obvious that Clara and Maren love each other and would do anything for one another.

Since the story is written directly from Clara’s viewpoint, the reader point of view is initially hard to get es the experience. The danger feels real and impending, as though it is occurring directly to the reader. The writing is very direct, but very disher own.

If you’re looking for a quick weekmend “The Mermaid’s Sister” as an enjoyable book for any age.

LHU anime club takes Katsucon

Grace Uravic Guest Writer gsu2817@lhup.edu

LHU’s very own Anime Club had the pleasure of attending Katsucon, a three day convention held at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center in National Harbor, Md. February 13-15.

This was their 21st year holding the convention. People come from all over the east coast to cosplay, meet the guests, socialize with friends, shop and have an all-around good time.

Anime Conventions are similar to Comic-Cons when it comes to cosplaying (costume-role playing), buying merchandise and meeting celebrities But instead of the focus being on American comic books, movies and TV shows, anime conventions concentrate on mainly Japanese animated shows and video games.

Popular examples include Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Pokémon, Naruto and many more.

Club member Audrey Wawrynovic, a freshman early childhood education major, uses her love for cosplaying to connect with her friends at anime conventions, “It’s so wonderful to be in such a posi-

tive atmosphere, where everyone enjoys the same things as you do,” she said. “Everyone, including myself, dresses up as their favorite character - it just makes it all the more fun!”

Club members were able to cut loose and enjoy themselves at the convention. It’s the one place where people who like anime, video games and other nerd culture don’t feel like a minority.

Some met English dub voice actors, sat in on panels, watched anime, shopped for merchandise and artwork, and some just went to meet up with longtime friends that were only accessible online.

Cosplaying is a major factor in the world of anime conventions, where almost the majority of the attendees dress up as an anime or video game character, and this con was no exception.

Wawrynovic explained what drew her to cosplaying, “It’s a way of expressing my enjoyment of a series or character, the hobby is really hands on which I love.”

Like many anime conventions, Katsucon offers panels on Japanese culture education panels and workshops. You can learn Japanese history, language and culture from experts.

“Despite all the bumps in the road, all the troubles and woes, we made it there and back again. We

did something that we thought was going to inevitably fail,” club president Dylan Freemire, a junior business and psychology double major said. “But we went, we had fun, and returned safely. It was after all, is about the journey.”

Being inside in the winter can he very boring.

Here are 5 classic board games to keep you and your roommates or family occupied.

1. Clue The classic game of whodunit. This can be fun to play with your roommates. The speculation is half of the fun.

This game is for 2-6 players.

4. Sorry This fun game gives you some power in sending your opponent to home. This game is good if you just want to relax.

This game is for 2-4 players

5. Twister A fun way to get everyone involved. With as close as this game makes you it can get awkward.

This game is for 2 or more people.

So don’t forget the old classics you played as a kid when you need something fun to do inside.

3. Jenga Be careful where the next block is taken from or the whole tower could fall. The best part is the anticipation of waiting for the blocks to fall.

This game is for 2 or more players.

2. Monopoly Although it can be the longest game in the whole entire world, you can always take a break and come back. Money is always fun right?

Winter weather woes will worsen

Lona Middleton Staff Writer lkemp@lhup.edu

Everyone has noticed that this winter has been worse than the past few years. It’s a constant topic in most households but next year will be better right? Not likely, according to both NASA and NOAA. Our current winter conditions are going to continue for the next following winters and will get far worse if don’t do something to slow down the warming of the polar icecaps. go into our weather patterns. The two big ones, the polar vortex and the jet stream, are nowhere near where they have been in past years. The polar vortex is actually the air around the polar caps and pushes cold air down. The polar jet stream, the one we are concerned with in North America, pushes air east to west. As the ice caps melt and the air warms up much faster there than anywhere else. This is bad because it means that the temperature differences that drive the polar jet stream are getting closer together. As the temperatures get closer together, it causes the east to west air to become weaker and the north south currents to strengthen.

So what does all this mean for us? It means that the north south currents are stronger and the west coast will experience longer hot seasons with record droughts and the east coast longer cold seasons with record lows in temperature and snowfall. This isn’t something that can be reversed. It is

also something that can’t be proved. There are hundreds of factors that go into determining what the weather will be and we can’t predict them all.

What we can do is look at the evidence and predict what is most likely to happen. Even though, if this pattern holds, we can’t reverse it, we can stop it from getting worse. We have lost 60% of polar sea ice in the past 30 years.

This is what we need to focus on stopping if we hope to stabilize the climate before it gets worse.
