Seniors prepare for graduation Kyra Smith-Cullen Editor-In-Chief ksmithcu@lhup.edu As the semester nears its close, many seniors are learning what happens before they leave college. There are steps they must go through before they walk across that stage. partments have held events, like their salute to the grads on March 17, to help inform seniors of the process. whether or not you’ll be attending the ceremony by completing a form at http://goo.gl/0qhmPk. It must be completed by April 3, 2015 and allows students to enter information relevant to graduation.

2) Check with Student Accounts to ensure that you have no holds on your account or anything that might prevent you from graduating. If you have a Haven Card (a.k.a Higher One) and you don’t plan on using it after graduation, make sure you close the account as fees begin applying after graduation.

3) If you received loans from the government, i.e. Stafford Loans, make sure you complete exit counseling at http://goo.gl/18uygn . It takes about 15 minutes and informs you of your responsibilities to repay them.

4) Get your cap and gown from the campus bookstore, and check out the information on how to order your

Relay For Life 2015

Morgan Barrett and Megan Zick Guest Writers mab1134@lhup.edu maz242@lhup.edu

Relay for Life is a time, once a year, where students, faculty and the community join forces in the battle against cancer.

This year, Lock Haven University beat their Relay goal by raising $26,176.83, up by almost $2,000 from last year’s funds of $24,183.50. The event took place in the Student Rec Center on Friday, March 20.

More than 500 people came together for the 10th annual all-night event to raise those funds in honor of survivors, those who have lost their bat-

being held throughout the night.

The monopoly jail was one of the most popular games of the night. Participants would pay $1 to put someone in “jail” and they’d have to either stand in the cell for 15 minutes or pay $3 to bail themselves out.

There were also ceremonies throughout the event there was the opening ceremony, and ceremonies to represent to survivors, caregivers, ing cancer.

There were powerful stories told from people in all walks of life that have been affected by cancer in one way or another. The luminary ceremony video slideshow to pay respect to those who have passed and had family members and friends of those people decorated bags to line the track.

All the participants lapped around the track to walk for their loved ones.

So many of us have had someone in our lives who’s affected by cancer, and we relay with those people in mind.

Senior, criminal justice major, Shannon Shero said “Relay was great because it was so nice to see so many organizations, like Greeks, sports and clubs, come together for one cause.”

Each hour out of the 12-hour event was a reminder of the important cause. We relay for so many reasons, but no matter what, we relay together.

“We relay for so many reasons, but no matter what, we relay together.”

“I think that relay had an amazing turnout in regards to the number of people who showed. The amount of money raised this year was absolutely outstanding,” Brittany Roberts, a freshman, said.

The theme this year was board games and there were a variety of different activities held throughout the night. All of the clubs and organizations got very creative with their tables.

A few of the games and activities were monopowas zumba, performances, music, and ceremonies

Students work to better community one nail at a time Lucio Perez and Wesley La Point Guest Writers perez2@lhup.edu wjl6748@lhup.edu Spring Break is the occasion when many college students take a break from their busy school schedule and either go on vacation or return home to relax or earn a few extra dollars at part time jobs.

Seventeen members of the LHU Outreach for Humanity Club, club advisors, and an LHU PACC VISTA decided to something different with their time off. These students spent their Spring Break traveling down to Georgetown, S.C. where they worked with Habitat for Humanity to build homes for low-income, working families.

Students who went on the trip learned of the economic hardships that people living in the Georgetown region face, which was an eye-opening experience for the students who attended. the region, economy, affordable housing needs and services that Habitat for Humanity provides.

Georgetown is the third oldest city and second largest seaport in SC. Through the change in the economy focus dating back to the civil war and rice plantations, to more recent hurricanes and losses in area businesses, the city continues to prosper in rich history and culture.

Sarah Landro, a sophomore in the pre-physician assistant program who attended the trip, explained: “There was no better way to spend Spring Break than being with people that share the same values to help others.”

The group provided over 490 hours of direct service to the Georgetown community and accomplished building 45 interior and exterior door frames and 30 window frames that will support 3 of the homes under construction.

Among the frames, they assisted in other tasks such as building walls, book shelves, and display Store.

When students were done building for the day, they managed to explore the region. The group adventured into self-directed tours of historic GeorgeStudents had a guided ghost tour that included stories and overviews of historic events in the region.

The group was also enjoyed the region and the culture by going on a guided kayak tour through afternoon hiking through Huntington Beach State Park where they viewed alligators, and exploring Aly Page, a junior majoring in criminal justice with a psychology minor, goes on to explain, “since

‘Cinderella’: The gritty remake age Grace Uravic Staff Writer gsu2817@lhup.edu I’m sure most of you have paid money to re-live your childhood and see the 2015 remake of Disney’s “Cinderella.” Downtown Abbey actress, Lily James, stars as Cinderella — or, in this version, Ella.

After she loses her mother as a child and her father as an adolescent, she is forced to live with her new stepmother, played by Cate Blanchett, and two step sisters Anastasia and Drisella, played by Holliday Grainger and Sophie McShera, who treat her like a slave.

Like most live action fairy tales, there were creative changes compared to the original 1950s version. For example, you see the relationship of Ella and her parents more compared to the original, where she learns from her mother that she believes in magic and fairy godmothers, which is why Ella starts believing in them at a young age.

The message in the original is “a dream is a wish your heart makes, someday my prince will come,” whereas in the 2015 live action remake it’s much more simple and broad with “have courage and be kind.”

Certain plot points have been changed to set it apart from our usual perception of fairy tales, and I can go all day talking about the differences, from how it’s changed to how Cinderella meets the prince to how the evil stepmother takes a more proactive role in the remake and in putting Cinderella in her

place. But I want to talk about the current state of animation.

Were in the age of many classic fairy tales being remade into live action movies constantly, hoping to make bank on not only the child audiences, but the adult one as well. Sure, live action adaptations to fairy tales are nothing new. It’s been done for decades. But since the 2000s, certain live action fairy grittier for the general audience, such as “Hansel and Gretel,” “Snow White erything today is either being remade or rebooted.

There is this on-going stigma that the average adult thinks that 2D animation is only for children, and that they can’t relate to it. Something about 2D animation to the average adult, they see as juvenile, boring and only engaging to their small child that they want to entertain for a hour and a half.

This is probably why 3D animation has become the norm because even though they still look cartoon-y, it looks more realistic and has more capabilities in the visuals department that can make it seem more mature for any viewer. But we are in the age where more adults are accepting the craftsmanship that goes into 2D animated TV shows like Legend of Korra, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls and Adventure Time.

But when it comes to the big screen, live action and 3D still rule the Hollywood movie scene.

The a Aussie band from down under n e r A m u Alb

William Cawley Guest writer wcawley@lhup.edu

Grunge is back.

Courtney Barnett, an Aussie-based songwriter, has released a debut album for the ages. “Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit,” released March 23rd, combines modern pop, hippie psych, and...grunge, a genre which has been dead since the ‘90s made popular by bands such as Nirvana, Bush and Soundgarden.

Immediately, the album sets the tone to be a downright fast and pleasantly aggressive. The catch is that it is anything but. Based on the standout tracks, which include ‘Pedestrian At Best’, an anthem of angst, ‘Debbie Downer’, a psychedelic summertime single and ‘Boxing Day Blues’, a calm, quaint closing track, the album is all over the place.

This album might be all over the place but that doesn’t deny it’s sheer awesomeness. Courtney Barnett and her accompanying band seriously rocked on this album. Rock

is not dead, grunge is not dead!

Variety. Fuzz. Soul. “Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit has it all” will leave your appetite Plug in your headphones, and vibe to Courtney Barnett. Do it now, before she becomes a sensation. This beauty from down under has potential to not only revive a lost genre, but to one day become the face of it completely. And why not? Kanye arguably did the same with the production of rap music.

Maybe your ears won’t thank you (some songs you will want to crank up)...but your heart will. Be prepared for an emotionally standout album, perhaps one of the best of 2015. This album was great, I would suggest anyone to listen to it. It can truly brighten your day and make your week!

You can order her album on her website, courtneybarnett.com.au, on iTunes, or for free on Spotify.

Aladdin “Aladdin” follows the story of Aladdin on his rise from an orphan living on the streets to the chosen suitor with the help of a genie, a magic carpet, and his best friend, Abu the monkey.

A beautiful movie like this deserves a live action counterpart.

Five useful sites for academic writing Kyra Smith-Cullen Editor-In-Chief ksmithcu@lhup.edu I know what it’s like to be staring at a blank page, trying to start that essay. Or to be in the middle of a paragraph, only to completely forget what word you wanted to write. But there are several helpful sites to aid your journey.

1. Mendeley.com A free downloadable program, Mendeley is a library for your citations and research. Found an article? Add it to Mendeley, which allows you to highlight or make notes on your addition. It also generates citations and bibliographies in whatever style you need – Which means no more struggling between MLA or APA or whatever citation style your professor has demanded of you.

2. EditMinion.com Are you trying to avoid using passive voice or clichés? Editthings for it to search for and it will point it out so you can correct it. The only downside is that it does act up with larger amounts of texts involved.

3. Reverse Dictionary Do you know the meaning of a word, but can’t think of the right word?

The Reverse Dictionary is perfect for that because it allows you to search the version, so it may have a few bugs, but it’s still useful. Find it at Onelook.com/Reverse-Dictionary.shtml 4. MyTomatoes.com It’s a very simple timer that breaks things down

College builds character Connor Poorman Guest Writer cmp7673@lhup.edu

I often used to ask myself if college was really going to be worth all the studying, the debt and late night procrastinating. I also used to attend another college and in a mere six months, after being academically suspended, I truly understood why college is worth it. It’s not just for a career and a better future, but for intellectual growth.

I was unsure at my last college if the major I was going for was what I wanted to pursue. Sure enough, the hesitation hurt me academically and psychologically. I moved on from wondering what major I wanted to wondering if I wanted to continue my college career. I was in desperation to

Someday you may look back on an elective you took and see that it has applied to your career path.

There will always be a sort of hesitation for every student, but remember, college is worth it.

Half the battle, however is on the psychological level. College is all about learning, so why not soak up as much as you can for all of the money you pay, while expanding the horizons that come with it?

Maybe right now it doesn’t seem worth it, but I guarantee that all the studying, debt and late nights we put forth will eventually amount to not only a career but an eventual greater level of happiness in our lives.

Success & self-sabotage Sarah Eckrich Opinion Editor seckrich@lhup.edu Lately, I have felt completely out of my element.

I didn’t wake up one morning and suddenly feel like less of an operative Sarah. It’s more like I woke up one morning and started misreading and misdoing things.

For example, I would think that something someone said was supportive and kind, but it was actually sarcastic, mocking me right to my face. Or I’d think I aced a class project, when I really didn’t.

Suddenly everything that I thought and did was a miscalculation. around this joint to have an off day?
