This year, we’re saying goodbye and good luck to one of our very one and fearless leader, Kiara Carson, and she had a few parting words to her fellow bald eagles: “Lock Haven has been my home away from home since I started my freshman year back in 2017, but the EE news room is where it all came together for me. It’s where it became a complete niche for me to explore and express my passions in an inclusive way. It’s also where I connected with an amazing team, who helped me get through a lol, especially during this pandemic. The LHU Eagle Eye has been an experience I will never forget or regret.”

Archaeologists discover lost Egyptian city Levi Deitz Copy Editor lwd6487@lockhaven.edu Epyptian archaeologists are believed to have discovered the ancient Egyptian city of Luxor.

This is believed to be the largest ancient settlement ever discovered in the country. The excavation of the city began back in September of 2020.

Head archaeologist Zahi Hawass wrote on his Facebook page that the city was “untouched” and “left by the ancient residents as if it were yesterday.”

The archaeologists also found a seal, which called the city “the domain of the dazzling Aten.” The seal is referring to what was considered a golden age of Egypt under the pharaoh and builder of the city, Amenhotep III. The city was abandoned by his son, Akhenaten, about 3400 years ago.

According to CBS, the archaeology team, led by Hawass, was originally looking for the mortuary temple of King Tutankhamun, who also happens to be the son of Akhenaten.Within weeks of searching, the team started to find mud brick formations, which turned out to be the remains of the city.

Some of the items found within the city include rooms filled with tools, remains of a bakery, ovens and storage pottery.

According to Hawass, the northern part of the city - which is still under sand - is comprised of mostly administrative and residential districts.

He said that “it was the largest administrative and industrial settlement in the era of the Egyptian empire on the western bank of Luxor.” Also found within the city was a skeleton that the team described as unusual.

They said that the skeleton was “a person found with arms outstretched to his side, and remains of a rope wrapped around his knees.” They don’t have an answer as to why it was found this way, but the team is continuing to research.

Betsy Brian, professor of egyptology at Johns Hopkins University, told ABC that “the discovery of the Lost City, not only will give us a rare glimpse into the life of the Ancient Egyptians at the time where the Empire was at its wealthiest but will help us shed light on one of history’s greatest mystery: why did Akhenaten and Nefertiti decide to move to Amarna.”

She also described the finding of Luxor as only second to the discover of the tomb of King Tutankhamun.

Egypt’s government is hoping that the discovery will increase tourism to the nation, which has taken a hit in the past few years due to political unrest and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Biden’s proposed gun control plan Brittany Robertson Lifestyles Editor bnr888@lockhaven.edu As a response to recent mass shootings, President Biden passed a series of six executive orders to help combat the increase in American gun violence.

According to a White House press release, President Biden is looking to handle gun control by trying to reduce all types of community gun violence, suicide by firearms, mass shootings and domestic violence.

Recently, active measures were passed to help resolve the gun control crisis: 1. The Justice Department within 30 days will pass a measure to help stop the sales of “ghost guns.”

These types of guns are normally the ones that are known to be untraceable at crime scenes. They also tend to appear in kits and are easy to assemble to use at the buyers’ wishes.

2. The Justice Department within 60 days will issue a proposed rule to help with marketing a stabilization brace.

If a pistol can be easily switched to a short-barreled rifle it must be clearly indicated in accordance with the National Firearms Act. The shooter in the Boulder Colorado tragedy used one of these and was able to conceal the weapon a lot easier.

3. The Justice Department within 60 days will publish the model “red flag’’ legislation.

The legislation will allow family members and law enforcement to bar anyone who seems to be a danger to themselves or others. They will create a model, but it would be up to individual states to adopt it or make their version.

4. The administration is investing in opportunities for evidence-based community violence interventions.

As a part of the American Jobs Plan, it will give opportunities for alternative ways to reduce gun violence in urban communities other than incarceration.

5. The Justice Department will issue an annual report on firearms trafficking.

This will allow lawmakers to be able to follow the data to see where the firearms end up rather than to dangerous people. Also, the report will be updated to reflect current data rather than outdated data from 2000.

6. The president will nominate David Chapman to serve as the Director of the Bureau Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

This federal agency is responsible for enforcing American gun laws. The ATF has not had a director since 2015, and Biden believes a director is needed to operate the agency appropriately.

A&E 6 Where’s that quote from?

Bieber is new and improved

Movie Quote: “They say once you grow crops somewhere, you have officially colonized it. So, technically, I colonized Mars. In your face, Neil Armstrong.”

Last week’s movie: “After Earth”

Brittany Robertson bnr888@lockhaven.edu Lifestyles Editor

We all remember 2010 and the hearing about this kid that was discovered on YouTube by Usher.

Usher brought Bieber to audition for “Scooter’’ Braun and well we know what happened. Many years have gone by and his music has grown up as well. The first album that was released for Bieber included songs like “Baby’’ and “Someone like you”.

Here we are in 2021, and Bieber has given us another album to enjoy. This album is called “Justice” and it is filled with a different type of Bieber. The album was inspired to have music to provide comfort and make songs that people can relate to. These songs show a different type of person, a more grown up version of the kid we all grew to love. The songs on this current album represent a person who has grown up.

It is filled with positivity and a R & B type of vibe.

One of the songs, “Peaches’’ has hit the top 100 singles chart. The album overall has hit the charts as a top producing album. Justice was recorded during the pandemic by Bieber sending his demos to songwriters and producers. It has brought back many memories of the kid we found on Youtube. Justin has definitely grown into himself and became a great musician that millions of girls that grew up listening to. Take a chance on the album, this is a keeper and should be added to your music library.

Stimulus check spending: Things to remember Cassandra Keller cmk2356@lockhaven.edu Sports Editor

If you are reading this, chances are you are one of the many Americans who get the 1,400 dollar stimulus check as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

If not, this article is still for you because this is a few tips on how to get the most out of your money.

Know your spending: Before you go spending all that new money you just got, sit down and figure out what you spend your money on monthly. This can be anything from rent to the monthly subscription to even the money you spend on late night fast food trips. Anything counts if you pay for it.

Knowing and being aware of what and how much you are spending your money on keeps you informed of where all your money is going. It also makes it easier to know where you can cut back when it’s time for you to start saving your money.

Divide and Limit: Once you know what you are spending your money on, you can move your extra money to where it is most needed. Meaning if you have debts, like loans, that are falling behind or incurring interest, you can pay on those first before going out and buying that new expensive pair of shoes.

By putting that money towards debts like loans, not only are you building credit and saving money you will need later in life, you will be limiting yourself on exces-

sive purchases you are tempted to make when you have extra money.

Save where you can: If you have money left over after paying a bit on your debts, try to put some of what is left of it into a savings account. Most banks let you open up savings accounts for free and it is a good way to separate your spending money from the money you want to save.

Having a good savings is important later in life for unexpected expenses and larger purchases you want to make, but it takes time to make that savings useful.

These stimulus checks are a great way to get one started if you are having trouble getting one started.

Stick to it: Budgets and money saving tips are only as good to you as long as you stick to them. Saving money and paying off debts takes time, so you have to continuously work to put your money where it will help you the most.

For more on money saving tips please go to RamseySolutions.com The stimulus checks or any extra money is great to get things started and free up some money that would otherwise go towards bills or debts. That's why it’s called a stimulus check; they are designed to stimulate the economy by freeing up money and if you play yourcards right, it can stimulate your bank account too.

⭑ Horoscopes ⭑ Aries (March 31-April 19)- If you have to deal with some disappointment today, try not to let it get you down, Aries. You may receive a letter or phone call that brings less than favorable news. Perhaps someone you were hoping to see won’t be able to make it, or a friend has to turn down an invitation to a party you’re having. Try not to let this spoil your mood. These things happen. Keep yourself busy.

Taurus (April 30-May 30)- You may be worried about your financial situation today, Taurus. You might feel a tug at your purse strings. If you’ve experienced a delay in receiving some funds you were expecting, this may add to your concern. You might want to tackle this directly by examining your situation. Check up on expected funds and make any necessary arrangements to alleviate this stress..

Gemini (May 31-June 30)- An unexpected event might cause you to be temporarily separated from your partner today, Gemini. Confusion about the incident and your mate’s role in it might plague you. You might doubt his or her motives. If so, it may be best to talk and clear up any suspicions.

Letting such thoughts sit for even a short time can create challenges for a relationship. Deal with the situation now.

Cancer (June 31-July 22)- You might have a sore throat and mild cold symptoms today, Cancer. It may affect your ability to work. Chances are that you’re an active person.

Having to slow down to tend to your health may frustrate you. Consider going to the doctor’s office now rather than ignore your health. This could make all the difference in how long you stay under the weather and are kept from things you want to do.

Leo (July 23-August 22)- Spend some quality time with your partner today, Leo. Perhaps he or she is a little jealous of your friends or feeling left out. Perhaps you’ve received invitations lately that are just for you. It might be a good idea to turn one down in favor of being with your partner.

Plan a romantic interlude. A little quality time can help get things back on track.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sept 22)- You may want to take a day off from your obligations, Virgo, perhaps to take care of unfinished creative projects. Chances are this may not be possible. Concerns about work issues might keep your mind occupied and distract you from the task at hand. This and possible family disagreements may have you upset. Try to remain centered and focused despite it all. It’s the only way to get anything done.

Libra (Sept 23-Oct 22)- You may reminisce today, Libra. Perhaps you’re thinking about friends and family who live far away. You could feel a bit nostalgic, not to mention

blue, thinking about times long past. Consider making some phone calls to counteract these feelings. If you can’t connect with a particular person, spend a little time looking through a photo album to bring him or her closer to you.

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)- Money matters might be a bit tangled today, Scorpio. There may be an unexpected delay in receiving funds due you. Your bank statement may have you confused. Getting to the bottom of things may prove a bit frustrating but not necessarily impossible. If you find that you’re uncertain about your financial situation, consider talking with those involved to get a better understanding.

Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)- You may need reassurance today, Sagittarius. Trouble with friends or a romantic partner may have you feeling unloved, insecure, and emotionally blocked. You may see the situation as more serious than others do. Perhaps a misunderstanding has caused the dilemma. Take the time to reach out to those you’re concerned about and get some reassurance. If you owe an apology, give it freely and move on.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)- You may feel a little under the weather today, Capricorn. You may even develop sniffles or a sore throat. If so, consider going to the doctor. This can be an especially unwelcome development, as it keeps you from certain activities. If you act quickly, your ailment may not worsen. Take the time you need to feel healthy again before returning to your routine.

Aquarius (January 22-February 18)- You might feel lonely and insecure due to lack of contact with a close friend or romantic partner, Aquarius. You might wonder if the person has forgotten you or simply doesn’t care anymore.

Take the time to try to connect with this person. You may discover that no neglect was intended and that the relationship is solid. It’s better for you to tackle this directly rather than speculate.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)- Juggling work and home may seem difficult today, Pisces. Work responsibilities may weigh on your mind to the point where they interfere with the harmony of your home life. This can cause some inner conflict. It might be wise to prioritize work tasks on paper and schedule duties and deadlines. Then you can spend time with your family without worrying that work will be forgotten. horoscope provided by horoscope.com

Side hustles to earn extra cash Kerri Hoover kah4338@lockhaven.edu Ad/Design Editor and News Editor

Need some extra money? Don’t we all! This past year has created a financial roller coaster ride for many young adults and college students. However, as pandemic restrictions begin to loosen up, more options are becoming available to earn some extra cash.

If you are looking for an online job or new side hustle, check out the below suggestions brought to you by the Lock Haven University Eagle Eye staff.

1. Part-time jobs through your local university - It seems like LHU is always looking for part-time student workers willing to help out in academic departments, dormitories, resource offices like Registrar or Student Accounts, TRIO, and sports teams. Be sure to take a look at the Student Activities flyer that is sent to your LHU email on a weekly basis to find various job opportunities available right here on-campus. Since we are not fully back in-person yet, some of these opportunities are even available as remote jobs. Being a student worker myself, I enjoy working on-campus because your employers understand that your main responsibility is being a college student; therefore, they provide a bit more scheduling flexibility compared to off-campus jobs.

2. Freelancing - If you are looking for a job to help build your portfolio and/or résumé, give freelancing a try. There are tons of freelancing opportunities available to college students, including writing, editing, graphic design, and photography. The majority of freelance jobs do not require a college degree. In fact, they only acquire a set of skills students already possess or can easily learn, according to College Info Geek. Freelancing also provides a greater scheduling flexibility for busy college students since most jobs are available online.

3. Grubhub, Uber Eats, or DoorDash delivery driver - More than ever, people are resorting to carryout and delivery for their next meals. According to the LA Times, the pandemic has created a high demand within the last year for delivery drivers across a wide variety of food

delivery apps, like Grubhub, Uber Eats, and DoorDash.

These food delivery services offer flexible scheduling and allow workers to choose what type of transportation they want to use. Applying for the job is also relatively easy.

You are only a few clicks from a new delivery job!

4. Sell your stuff - This spring, why not take some time to clean out your closets and miscellaneous drawers to earn some cash by selling items that you don’t use.

There are a bunch of online marketplaces and mobile apps that let you buy and sell new and used merchandise locally. Among them include Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp (formally Letgo), Poshmark, Craigslist, and Mercari. These top-rated apps allow you to earn some extra cash on the side without the hassle of a part-time job.

A girl’s guide to lying Cassandra Keller Sports Editor cmk2366@lockhaven.edu Relationships are hard no matter who you are because it is hard to be vulnerable to people who we like romantically or otherwise. Lying is just one way we protect ourselves from that vulnerable feeling and that doesn’t have to be a bad thing especially for us girls.

In new relationships, getting to know the other person is really important. Lying about important things like life goals and past experiences isn’t the way to go in that situation since those kinds of lies can lead to issues later when the person finds out the truth about them. The lies are a problem in that situation because they make you seem like someone you’re not, but when a lie doesn’t do tha t, but rather protects feelings then that lie isn’t so bad.

I’m talking about white lies, ladies. Those kinds of lies are peppered into all kinds of relationships to spare feelings of those in the relationships. So if you are in a relationship and your significant other really likes a shirt you don’t really like, it is ok to tell a little lie to make them feel like they look good. That way they feel good about themselves instead of self-conscious about something so insignificant.

The deeper the relationship gets, the fewer lies you should have to tell. As time goes on, and trust gets built, it should be easier to let that vulnerability show and to not have to use lying as that defence mechanism.

If you are finding yourself still lying or lying more in a deep relationship, then you need to take a step back and reassess the quality of that relationship.

People have relationships to have reliable social interactions and lying is an indication of when those interactions are not reliable.

Lying in a relationship really depends on the depth of that relationship and who it is you are lying to.

A close friend, family member or a significant other will want to be told the truth most of the time, but sometimes, telling a lie is better and that is ok.

A boy’s guide to lying Tess English tae7002@lockhaven.edu Online Manager The real answer is never. Honesty should be the cornerstone of every relationship including and not limited to, romantic, platonic, and even family bonds.

But, the idea of never wanting to lie to someone and the practicality of it are two distinctly different things. Honesty is the best policy, but it’s also not necessarily the most constructive. So how should men navigate this tricky ideal of honest and constructive?

The answer isn’t easy, but let’s look at some questions that will act as a guide to help.

The first thing to evaluate how important the issue is. What is at stake? As a boyfriend, you should never lie about something relationship-altering such as changes in financial situations, cheating, health concerns, and much more. In issues of smaller importance or little to no concern, it might be okay to tell a white lie.

Consider this: you’re out looking at paint swatches with your S.O. Frankly, you’re tired of being out and don’t really know the difference between mauve and grape anyhow. While none of the colors your partner has picked out wowed you, you really don’t care about what color the bathroom is anyway. Is it okay to lie about how excited you are about whatever color your sweetheart picks out? I would say yes. Does it really hurt to let your S.O be excited about agreeing on a wall color you are never going to care about? Unless you suddenly become an interior designer, probably not. Even if you did, it’s not that hard to re-paint the bathroom.

Another thing to consider is if the problem is fix-

able? For instance, your partner struggles with adult acne. While everyone prefers clear skin it can be very hard to maintain or achieve for certain people. Your partner asks how bad their recent break out is (and it’s pretty bad). Should you lie? Maybe. If your partner does his/her best to stick to the facial routine then I think it’s fair to say they’re putting in the effort. Telling them it looks really rough will only lower their esteem and potentially feel unattractive. Which is silly, they’re still the mad cutie you fell in love with, but their pores just need a little help staying clean and healthy. In this case, honesty wouldn’t be that constructive necessarily.

However, this approach doesn’t work for every scenario. Let’s say your partner has picked out a bad outfit to roll out in and they ask you how it looks. Even though style can be subjective you should give your honest opinion because it’s better to feel a little def late and change into something that looks nice than to have everyone else stare at you in an unf lattering outfit.

Lastly, can you live with the idea of lying to your S.O.? If it’s going to cause you the stress of getting found out or cause major relationship issues if you’re found lying don’t do it. If you’re going to tell the truth the sooner is the better. The longer you wait the worse it’ll get.

So while honesty is still the gold standard for a relationship, be careful with how you choose to lie in your relationship, or before you know it the whole citation will get out of hand.

The Bald Eagles got a 1-2 finish in the 10,000-meter run, thanks to the efforts of Caroline Stickley (Atglen, Pa./Octorara) and Molly Snyder (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Mechanicsburg). The race marked the 10K debut for both as they finished with times of 43:06.40 and 43:36.84, which rank in the PSAC’s top-10 this season.

Karlee Noel (Altoona, Pa./Altoona) was second in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 11:33.54 and Elaina Klinger (Danville, Pa./Danville) added a ninth-place finish in the 5K with a time of 19:02.15.

Billie Jo Bollinger (Manheim, Pa./Manheim Central) turned in a strong hurdle-double for Lock Haven. She was second in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 15.53 and she was sixth in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:07.51.

Both times are season-best marks.

Riyana Owens (Red Lion, Pa./Dallastown) was fifth at 200 meters with a season-best time of 25.77.

Karina Long (Hummelstown, Pa./Lower Dauphin) was sixth in the long jump (17-04.75) and eighth in the triple jump (34-07.00).

The Bears led early on in the game with a score of 9-0. Within the first 10 minutes, Baylor ascended over Gonzaga with a 19-point lead at 29-10. At this point in the game, it marked the Bulldogs’ largest point deficit of the season.

Much to their surprise, the Bulldogs never led once in the season-ending game. While Gonzaga was able to cut the lead to 10 points by halftime and eventually nine points in the second half, the Bulldogs were never able to recover.

“Baylor just beat us in every facet of the game tonight,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few said during a CBS interview on April 5. “The aggressiveness and the athleticism of Baylor just had us on our heels.”

The Bears’ aggression and athleticism also resulted in more shooting time. Overall, Baylor took 18 more shot attempts compared to Gonzaga in addition to grabbing 16 offensive rebounds.

According to the NY Times, Gonzaga had its worst defensive rebounding performance of the season by 15% during the championship game while having the worst overall team rebounding performance since the 2016-2017 season.

Baylor point guards, Jared Butler and MaCio Teague, helped lead their team to victory with a combined 56 points and 12 assists. Butler scored the most points during the game, ending with a 22 point total in addition to four three-pointers and seven assists.

He became the first player since 2003 to make at least 20 points and seven assists during a men’s national championship game. The previous record was held by Syracuse forward Carmelo Anthony.

“I think it was harder to win this year than ever before,” Butler said during a USA Today interview. “Because of everything we had to sacrifice with our lives for playing basketball, no social life, no fans at games sometimes. It’s really cool to be able to say we did this in the midst of adversity, tribulations, and we were able to bring it home for Baylor.”
