Club Fair!

Kiara Carson Managing Editor

knc9459@lockhaven.edu

The annual club fair is one of the most popular events on campus and with a lot more incoming freshmen welcoming Lock Haven as their home away from home this school year, it certainly made an even bigger splash than usual. All of the clubs came out to ivy lane and seemed to be happy as they rounded up as many people for their own, unique clubs as they could.

I’d say 2019 Club fair was a huge success for keeping so many diverse and amazing clubs alive.

Joke of the week What do you call a train that is carrying bubblegum?

A chew-chew train

Fun Facts Roller coasters were invented to distract Americans from sin In the 1880s, hosiery businessman LaMarcus Thompson hated that Americans were tempted by hedonistic places like saloons and brothels. So he set out to straighten up one of the most immoral places he could think of: Coney Island in New York. There, he built America’s first roller coaster to give New Yorkers some good, clean fun—away from seedier pastimes.

September 5, 2019 A&E A Dios de los Muertos musical for all to see!

Heather Longley Guest Writer hxl44@psu.edu UNIVERSITY PARK (Tuesday, Sept. 3)—In its first visit to State College, New York City’s Mexico Beyond Mariachi will perform “Sugar Skull!, A Dia de los Muertos Musical Adventure” for youngsters and their families, at 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29, in Eisenhower Auditorium.

The show, on stage during National Hispanic Heritage Month, centers on a girl named Vita who thinks her family is crazy for planning a celebration for dead loved ones. But when a candy skeleton in her grandmother’s cemetery altar springs to life, Vita finds herself on a magical, musical journey to unravel the true meaning of Day of the Dead.

Sugar Skull, a charismatic confection, dreams of riding the train to Who-Knows-Where. Along with her new skeletal friend, Vita dances with ancient ancestors, sings with a sorrowful sorceress, escapes the trickster Chaneques and even meets the famous Catrina Calavera.

But can the clever youth help her sweet companion board the train before it’s too late?

Tickets for the Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State presentation—$21 for an adult, $15 for a University Park student, and $21 for a person 18 and younger—are available online at cpa.psu. edu or by phone at 814-863-0255 or 800-ARTS-TIX. Tickets are also available at three State College locations: Eisenhower Auditorium (weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Penn State Downtown Theatre Center (weekdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and Bryce Jordan Center (weekdays 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). A grant from the University Park Student Fee Board makes Penn State student prices possible.

Mexico Beyond Mariachi was formed 15 years ago to help communities go beyond stereotypes to learn about traditional Mexican performance styles. Company founders realized that while Mexican influences abound throughout the United States, most Americans don’t know much about the stories, legends and myths woven into their neighbor country’s cultural fabric.

Using live music, dance and storytelling, Mexico Beyond Mariachi artists immerse audiences in the magical realism that permeates Mexican culture.

“Equal parts artistic and educational, Mexico Beyond Mariachi re-defines the interactive entertaining experience, engaging and captivating audiences of all ages,” wrote Gayle Schmidt, director of public education for New York Botanical Garden. “Each member brings a unique and personal aspect to the stage, creating cohesive, well-balanced and engaging performances.”

The company’s school performance and arts-in-education program has reached more than 100,000 students in 250-plus school and community venues in the eastern United States. “Sugar Skull!,” the troupe’s second full-scale touring production, debuted last year.

“The Mexico Beyond Mariachi program appeals to the non-Latino community as an introduction to a culture that, like the country of Mexico, is just beyond the horizon of mainstream American culture,” wrote Timothy G. Hart of the Ocean County, N.J., Cultural and Heritage Commission. “Using a judicious mix of Spanish and English, the program creates cross-cultural impact.”

McQuaide Blasko Endowment provides support for the presentation at Penn State.

Kids Connections, which is free for ticket holders and includes a

craft-centered, child-friendly activity, takes place one hour before the performance. Due to space and time restrictions, Kids Connections participation is limited.

From “Look Mom I Can Fly” to MIA

“Remember kid, there’s heroes and there’s legends: Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.”

Tiana Gair A&E Editor teg5895@lockhaven.edu

Did you know?

“The Office” had a character named Luanne that never spoke, although she was spotted in multiple episodes.

Info courtesy of Buzzfeed.com

On August 28, 2019, rapper Travis Scott released his own documentary “Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly” on Netflix. The documentary covers Scott’s rise to fame and current life, while sprinkling in bits and pieces from his childhood throughout the film.

He shows everything from the process of making his third studio album “Astroworld,” to spending time with his daughter, to the crazy performances he has put on for his fans.

Before releasing the film to the public, Netflix held a premiere for Scott in Santa Monica, California, which he attended with girlfriend Kylie Jenner and daughter Stormi Webster. Watching it again must have gotten the rapper hyped up, because he tweeted that August 28th afternoon “Watching this makes me wanna do a concert right now.”

Lucky for me, I had scored tickets to his next show; he headlined the Made in America (MIA) music festival in Philadelphia, PA on September 1, 2019.

Travis Scott is notorious for massive

mosh pits, lots of fans getting kicked out and injured, and people in general not being able to handle his shows. As a frequent concertgoer I was confident in my ability to not only get to the front of the crowd, but also stay there during his entire set. I was confident that I would not be one of those fans that had to be carried out of the show because they couldn’t breathe or were not hydrated enough, as seen in the documentary. Boy, was I wrong!

Once Travis came out on stage, everyone rushed forward even more to get closer.

Once the sound of “Stargazing” started, his intro song on “Astroworld,” things got crazy.

We were packed in like sardines. There was no oxygen. I couldn’t even move my arms or legs; I had to move with the crowd.

Then I looked up and Travis Scott was right in front of me. I was 10 feet from him and it was the absolute coolest thing!

Long story short, by the end of the very first song, I was getting lifted out of the crowd by security so I could go to the back, but I definitely still enjoyed myself. Overall, it was a great experience. My advice: watch “Look Mom I Can Fly” but think twice before taking on a Travis Scott mosh pit.

Horoscopes provided by www.horoscopes.com

Aries If you meet new people today, Aries, be careful. Some can appear interesting because they’re bold or dangerous. Perhaps they do things you’d never dream of doing. While this may be intriguing, it can lead to trouble and hurt you if you aren’t careful. Stick to your usual standards and ethics. If danger excites you too much, it may be time to make some changes in your life

Libra Consider putting your problem-solving skills to the test today, Libra.

You have a real flair for investigating situations and figuring out what happened. If something comes your way that seems mysterious, deal with the problem directly and wrestle out the truth. If you’re baffled, use the process of elimination. Stick with it and you’ll learn what’s what in no time.

Taurus You might have to make a choice between telling the truth and a lie.

Sometimes this can be a difficult choice, especially if you’re afraid you’ll hurt someone’s feelings. However, a lie can take far more energy than the truth. Consider what you’d want the other person to do in your place. Stick to your ethics, even of it’s tough.

Scorpio Scorpio, try not to be fooled by others. If you don’t know a person well and you aren’t sure about him or her, trust your instincts. You tend to care about others, so it can be easy for you to feel sorry for someone and bend over backward to help. Make sure that the person you help really deserves it and you know the whole story. This can save you problems down the road.

Gemini Kindheartedness is wonderful, but being taken advantage of can be a danger. You really need to trust your instincts to keep this from happening. If what you hear doesn’t match what you feel, trust your feeling. In the event that you get used, move past it. It would be a shame if resentment permanently dampened your giving nature.

Cancer You have an intense nature. You probably feel things deeply and spend time lost in thought. Too much intensity can take a toll on your well-being. It might be time you got out and enjoyed yourself. Get up from your chair and take a walk. Meet someone for lunch or do a little shopping. Find something active to do to break the monotony of your routine.

Leo Feed your mind today, Leo. While you enjoy being active and social, you do get bored quickly. You’ll need to give yourself a constant supply of intriguing, fresh material in order to feel your best. Explore an interesting subject or learn a new hobby. Stimulate your mind and your body will become more energetic. Go online if you can’t get away.

Virgo If you’re trying to prove you have something valuable to offer, Virgo, think this through. You’re naturally friendly and can get along with almost anyone. This may already be your strength, and you probably have something great to bring to a crowd. Consider just being you and not always trying to feel a part of things. Start by looking at your good qualities to prove your worth to yourself.

Sagittarius It can be very easy to get carried away today, Sagittarius. You might get caught up in some excitement. You need to use your head on a day like this. Double-check everything and moderate your activities. Keep your limitations in mind. There’s nothing saying you can’t do whatever it is that catches your eye. Just use caution and keep yourself safe.

Capricorn The energy you feel today may have you so jittery that others don’t know what to do. The day’s aspects can really bring a boost and you’d be wise to plan to do things so you have an avenue to spend it all. Get busy with physical chores. Pull things out, organize, move furniture around - whatever it takes. It’s better to be productive than drive everyone crazy.

Aquarius Venturing into something completely new and different may be what you need, Aquarius. You have a solid practical side, but the need for excitement and adventure is likely just as strong. If you’ve been putting your nose to the grindstone a lot lately, take time off for some fun.

Visit a friend or drive to a place you haven’t been to before and explore.

Pisces Learning about things that interest you most is something you may want to do today. At work and home, there’s a schedule to tend to. On your own time, you’re free to learn about anything your heart desires.

Intellectual growth is something you enjoy. Whether you delve into cooking, astrophysics, or genealogy, you’ll find something new.

11 September 5, 2019 5 easy money saving tips for college freshmen

Lifestyles

Rebecca Gramuglia Personal Financial Consultant rebecca.gramuglia@topcashback.com Starting college can be fun, hard and overwhelming all at the same time! Add finances into the mix – whether it’s the first time you’re using your own money for things, paying for school or anything else – and it can be a lot to manage.

Below, please find some tips on how to stay on track with your finances in college at TopCashback.com:

Build your credit history: In today’s world, the importance of credit can be found in almost every aspect of life. From applying for a credit card to purchasing a car, your credit score is used to determine your creditworthiness.

As a young adult, you should always be conscious of how most financial decisions affect your credit score. If you don’t already have a credit card, you should get one. Having a credit card in your name, even if you don’t buy anything, will help you establish credit and the longer you have a credit history, the better.

Look for a credit card that matches your lifestyle: When you’re a

student, there are lots of student credit cards and bonuses available, so don’t sign up for the first card you see. Find a credit card that has perks relevant to you. Whether it’s a sign-up bonus, cash back that can be used for statement credit (aka continue to swipe and

spend as you normally would then get free money to pay off future bills) or airline miles (if you’re trying to save up for a spring break trip with friends!).

Be mindful of your spending habits: If this is your first crack at financial freedom, don’t start charging anything and everything. Does this sound like you? Well, credit card companies can see if you are a risky borrower and can subject you to higher interest fees (AKA you’ll have to pay them more money).

Credit agencies can qualify you as being a “responsible customer” depending on how much of your credit access is available, so exceeding more than 30 percent of your credit utilization ratio is a red flag to them.

Your credit utilization ratio is a measure of how much you owe on your cards compared to the limit.

While the rule of thumb is never to exceed 30 percent of your credit utilization, staying below 10 percent would be ideal to build and maintain a perfect score. Try your best to avoid impulse purchases, and when you do use your credit card, make sure you’ll be able to pay it off when the bill comes.

Take advantage of every discount and savings opportunity: Aside from learning how to manage your money, young people need to learn how to make every penny count.

Look for student discounts when making in-store and online purchases. Many retailers offer a reduced rate or promos for students only, for example, Apple gives student discounts for new computers. Research your go-to spending spots to see if they offer student discounts or save money by using a cash-back site like TopCashback.com to shop Urban Outfitters, UberEats, Textbooks.com and more.

Learn to budget: Most students get their first glimpse at financial freedom during college via part-time jobs or side hustles.

It’s important to learn how to properly manage your new-found wealth so you’re never left wondering, ‘Where did my money go?’ A personal budget is key to properly put future income towards expenses, savings, and debt repayment.

A basic budgeting tool that is made for progress is the 50/20/30 rule. Spend only up to 50 percent of your after-tax income on essentials, such as housing (aka your dorm or off-campus apartment); 20 percent on financial priorities, such as debt repayments and savings; and 30 percent on lifestyle choices, such as vacations and late-night food runs with your BFF’s. Effective money management is key to living a healthy financial life and achieve financial independence.

September 5, 2019 “A Stray Kids Journey”

Mickiah Johnson

Blog Writer mrj2829@lockhaven.edu

For todays post, I’ve decided to showcase the journey of a rookie boy group name Stray Kids. Stray Kids is a boy group from JYP entertainment that was made from a survival show where they have to prove that they belong in the group showcasing their talents i.e singing, dancing, variety, etc. Also to some others they’re also known as the boy version of Twice. Twice is their sister group from the same entertainment that was created also from a survival show. After being created or the final line up was made they released mixtapes before their actual debut. And then after a while they finally got to debut once all of their mixtape were released. If I’m wrong I’m completely sorry STAYs, I’ve only started to join the fandom for some time.

Anyways here’s two of my favorite Stray Kids songs that I absolutely adore.My Pace is the type of hype song for the gym. I love the beginning so much when the member Changbin starts repeating na na na na.

I also love how it starts out slow then quickens the pace of the song., hence the song title “My Pace”. Next, is their song “Hellevator”. It’s a little more dark than in contrast with ” My Pace” that haves more energy.

This song was their first release, I believe for this to be pre debut since District 9 was their debut title track.

The concept basically haves a dark and edgy asthetic for the EDM song. This song gets me hype and sad at the same time, this song is also great for the gym.

In seriousness if you’re into EDM songs with catchy hooks, then I most definitely recommend this to you.

September 5, 2019 LHU Dining Hours

Mark Matthews Staff Writer Mjm2923@lockhaven.edu It is a new semester at Lock Haven University and the LHU dining food dining services updated their hours in business and their food options. There are pros and cons to the dining hall service changes.

One the major changes that occurred are the closing of Lower Bentley on the weekends. Starting this semester, only Upper Bentley is open, making it the only option to dine at on Saturdays and Sundays. For a traditional college student, the loss of Lower Bentley on the weekends isn’t a major blow but for athletes, this change affects them greatly. For example, if a sports team have a competition on a Saturday and don’t get back until 8 P.M. they will have no where to eat, considering Upper Bentley closes at 7 P.M. Before this change, Lower Bentley on the other hand was typically open until 9 P.M. on Saturday (Chick-Fil-A) and 10 P.M on Sunday (Eagle Rock).

Lower Bentley did add some features that are benefiting the students. They added a variety of breakfast meal deals as an option for students. For example, one of the deals are a breakfast sandwich with any meat, egg, cheese on a muffin with a hash brown and an orange juice drink or milk for one meal swipe. Before this offer, only the breakfast sandwich itself was a meal swipe for students.

Nanobites at East Campus is always a great option for students as well. Having a dining service at a place other than Bentley allows students to not have to travel from East Campus to Bentley to have a meal. Instead, they can dine out at

Nanobites right after their class in East Campus.

Upper Bentley made changes to the food they are serving as well. Effective as of the beginning of the Fall 2019 semester, there is a taco/burrito/quesadilla section of Upper Bentley that allows students the option to eat Mexican food at a daily basis. Before this new feature, Mexican food was not served every day at Upper Bentley.

Upper Bentley does not serve breakfast meals anymore for the college students. Brunch, however, is available on the weekends starting at 10 P.M. in Upper Bentley.

The buffet style at Upper Bentley is one of the most significant features of the dining services. The variety of the food that is served is unbeaten. Every time a student swipes in, it is always unexpected what is next to being served that day.

The best part of the Upper Bentley dining hall is all of the ice cream options. There are endless options a student can choose from.

Upper Bentley is also an entertaining environment to be around. Often times, musicians and bands visit LHU to sing and play their instruments around the students while they are eating. One of the musicians that visited the last spring semester allowed students to play on his electric guitar in front of the whole dining hall.

Despite the dining hall hour changes, it does not take away from the service the eating places offer.

Field Hockey edged by Bucknell 1-0 Doug Spatafore Sports Information Director dpatafo@lockhaven.edu

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University field hockey team (1-1) was edged 1-0 today at home by local-rival Bucknell University (1-1).

The Bald Eagles opened the 2019 season Friday (Aug. 30) with a 1-0 victory over Bryant. MacKenzie Farley (East Berlin, Pa./ Bermudian Springs) provided the game’s only goal on Friday in the LHU’s season-opener. Bucknell also opened the season Friday and the Bison fell to James Madison, 3-2 in Lewisburg.

Today’s match marked the 50th all-time meeting between Lock Haven and Bucknell, a series that dates back to 1954.

Bucknell scored the only goal of the match off a deflected penalty corner shot in the second half.

Defender Karina Long (Hummelstown, Pa./Lower Dauphin) led another strong effort from the Bald Eagles’ defensive unit.

Late in the first half, Bucknell threatened on a breakaway, but before the Bison forward could get to the ball, Lock Haven goalkeeper Joaquina Orlandini (Concordi, Entre Rios, Argentina/San Antonio School) sprinted off her line and dove, knocking the ball away.

The two rivals remained scoreless at halftime. Of note, the Haven’s defensive unit held its opponents scoreless through the first 90 minutes of the 2019 season.

In the 37th minute, Bucknell’s Emily Doyle redirected home a shot and put the visitors up 1-0. The goal held and provided key moment in the game.

Orlandini finished with four saves for LHU. Freshman Jazmin Palma (Entre Rios Province, Argentina./Colegio Sagrado Corazon de Jesus) fired off seven shots as she did all she could to spark the Bald Eagles’ offense.

For the game, Lock Haven and Bucknell were even in shots with 11 apiece.

Despite the loss, several Bald Eagles, including Kayla Brathwaite (Arouca, Trinidad and Tobago/ Bishop Anstey East), played

well for Lock Haven.

LHU will now head to Colgate for a non-conference match on Friday, September 6 at 6 p.m. The road game at Colgate marks the first of three straight games away from LHU.

Men’s Soccer to open season Thursday (9/5) at Le Moyne Adam Kaylor Graduate Assistant

ank4635@lockhaven.edu LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University men’s soccer team is set to open the 2019 season. The Bald Eagles will travel to Le Moyne on Thursday, September 5 at 4 p.m.

The Bald Eagles will return for their homeopener against Felician on Sunday, September 8 at 3 p.m. at Hubert Jack Stadium.

2019 Season Preview: 2018 Season Success: Last season the Bald Eagles finished the year with an 8-7-3 overall record, it was the Bald Eagles first winning record since the 2011 season when they finished 11-7-1.

LHU capped their season in style toppling Salem 3-0 in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division II title match. The Bald Eagles won the final three matches of the season by a combined 7-0 to close the year on a high note.

PSAC preseason poll: In the 2019 preseason Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) coaches poll the Bald Eagles were picked to finish fourth in the East division and received one first place vote. West Chester and Millersville led the way with three first-place votes apiece in the Eastern Division, with West Chester being the favorite. East Stroudsburg came in at No. 3 followed by Lock Haven. LHU went 4-5-2 in PSAC play in 2018 and will open conference play against Millersville on Wednesday, September 18 at 1:30 p.m.

Returning Core: Head coach Patrick Long, who enters his fourth season at the helm, will benefit from a

large returning core from the 2018 team. In all, Lock Haven will return nine players that started 10 or more games a season ago.

The Bald Eagles return 2018 D2CCA AllAtlantic Region Second Team midfielder Beckham Sibiski. Sibiski was tied for the team lead in points with senior Brian Flatter, both players recorded eight goals and six assists in 2018.

In total LHU returns its top four point leaders from a season ago in Shane Colegrove and Andrew Moore, who each tallied four goals and two assists.

The Haven defense was one of the strongest

in the PSAC last year allowing just 1.16 goals per game, the fourth best mark in the conference. The stingy defense returns five players who started ten or more games including Moore, who started 14 games, and Steven Schankweiler, who started all 16 games for the Haven.

Talented Newcomers: The Bald Eagles added a talented seven member class over the offseason. Coach Long and Assistant Coach John Schwein were excited to welcome the new class and look forward to the potential of the freshman class.

Sports Information Director dpatafo@lockhaven.edu LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The regionally-ranked Lock Haven University men’s cross country team is set to open the 2019 season at home on Friday, September 6 vs. Division I Penn State at the Dolan Duals.

Friday’s season-opener comes in typical and traditional fashion as LHU opens with the Dolan Duals, an annual dual-meet with DI Penn State. The meet, which started in 2007, is named in honor of Jim Dolan, a former LHU professor and cross country coach, who remains one of The Haven’s biggest track and field and cross country supporters. As part of the special dual-meet to kick off the season, Dolan acts as the honorary starter for both the men’s and women’s race.

The men’s 6,000-meter race will start at 6:30 p.m.

The Bald Eagles will open the season ranked No. 7 in the Atlantic Region (Division II). LHU was picked third in the 2019 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) preseason coaches’ poll. The Bald Eagles, who are always a conference contender, received one first-place vote and followed only preseason-favorite Edinboro and No. 2 Shippensburg.

Edinboro, received 10 of 15 first-place votes. The Fighting Scots won the 2018 conference title and were followed by Shippensburg.

The last 10 PSAC titles have been won by either Lock Haven, Edinboro or Shippensburg, as both Edinboro and Shippensburg have three titles each to LHU’s four in the last decade.

Last season, the Bald Eagles finished third at the PSAC Championships, thanks to a strong front-running pack. The Bald Eagles return two of three All-Conference runners from last year’s team. Aaron Pfeil and Brett Pope both return after finishing 13th and 28th, respectively. Pfeil went on to run to All-Region honors.

Pfeil and Pope headline an extremely talented and experienced group of leaders. In all, LHU returns four of its top-seven runners from last year’s PSAC Championship meet and three from the regional meet.

John Davern is coming off a brilliant outdoor track season in 2019 and he will look to carry that momentum into the fall on the cross country course.

After Friday’s Dolan Duals, Lock Haven will return to action on Saturday, September 14 at the Division II/III Challenge, hosted by Kutztown.

The Dolan Duals is one of four meets LHU will host this upcoming season. The Bald Eagles get the honor of hosting the 2019 NCAA Division II Atlantic Region Championships on Saturday, November 9.

Women’s XC to open 2019 season at home Friday Doug Spatafore

Sports Information Director dpatafo@lockhaven.edu LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University women’s cross country team, ranked No. 3 in the Atlantic Region, is set to open the 2019 season at home on Friday, September 6 vs. Division I Penn State at the Dolan Duals.

Friday’s season-opener comes in typical and traditional fashion as LHU opens with the Dolan Duals, an annual dualmeet with DI Penn State. The meet, which started in 2007, is named in honor of Jim Dolan, a former LHU professor and cross country coach, who remains one of The Haven’s biggest track and field and cross country supporters. As part of the special dual-meet to kick off the season, Dolan acts as the honorary starter for both the men’s and women’s race.

The women’s 4,000-meter race will start at 6 p.m.

The Bald Eagles will enter the season ranked No. 3 in the Atlantic Region. LHU was also picked third in the 2019 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Preseason Coaches’ Poll.

Last season, LHU finished fifth at the PSAC Championships behind three All-Conference performers. All three runners return to lead the way for Lock Haven this season.

Last season’s (‘18) conference meet marked the first time in history where Lock Haven crowned three All-Conference runners on the women’s side. Laurel Moyer, Cadie Kiser and Amanda Shultz all ran to All-Conference honors by way of their top-30 finishes.

As a team, the Bald Eagles finished fifth out of 17 teams and LHU was just two points behind fourth-place Seton Hill last fall. Moyer was fourth overall with a time of 24:08 (6K). Her fourth-place finish marked the best showing from a Bald Eagle since Shala Simms placed sixth in 2005. No LHU woman runner had placed fourth at the PSAC Championships since 1988.

In all, Lock Haven returns all seven runners from both the PSAC and Atlantic Region championship meets.

Freshman Elaina Klinger will look to make an immediate impact and battle for a top-seven position. She comes to Lock Haven after a brilliant career at Danville High School, a premier Pennsylvania high school program.

After Friday’s Dolan Duals, Lock Haven will return to action on Saturday, September 14 at the Division II/III Challenge, hosted by Kutztown. The Dolan Duals is one of four meets LHU will host this upcoming season. The Bald Eagles get the honor of hosting the 2019 NCAA Division II Atlantic Region Championships on Saturday, November 9.
