In spring 2010, the Lake Land Col-
lege Learning Resource Center (LRC),
the library on campus, was shut down and
construction began to give the library a new
look, more space for conference rooms and
offi ces and more storage.
Director of Facilities Planning Mike
Kasdorf talked about all the new things that
were in store, such as lounge areas, geo-
thermal heating/cooling units, automatic
doors and much, much more!
“All the computers in the library will be
on the fi rst level,” said Kasdorf, motioning
all around the center of the building. There
are a few study and lounge areas sprinkled
on the fi rst level of the library and there will
be new, automatic doors and the previously
perilous elevator is being replaced with a
much safer, working one.
The entire upper level is to be used
for offi ces and conference rooms, most
equipped with the option of using elec-
tronic media, and all with energy effi cient
lights that use motion sensors to detect
when people are in the room. If you walk
into the room, the light fl ickers on; if you
walk out, it quickly turns off.
To make an even more energy-effi cient
library, the upper level is also where the
geothermal heating and cooling units are
stored. Instead of making heat or cold air
and having the excess go nowhere, the geo-
thermal units recycle the excess and keep
using it, creating the ability to heat only the
rooms that need to be heated or cool the
rooms that need to be cooled.
The entire lower level is mostly of-
fi ces, storage and more conference rooms,
but it also holds the brand new restrooms
and within them is the latest hand-
drying technology.
While some students are in a fuss
over why the library has not been fi n-
ished by the start of fall semester, Kas-
dorf wants students to know that while
he cannot guarantee it, renovations will
be hopefully completed by the end of
September, and everything should be
moved in by the end of October. Until
then, remember to visit the temporarily
relocated LRC in the Northeast building,
room 116.
The Learning Resource Center gets a face lift: construction update

Dropping a class 101By Daniel J. Beauchamp
Business Manager
In a perfect world, dropping a
course would be an uncomplicat-
ed decision. There are numerous
instances when a student must
determine if dropping a course is
the proper action to take.
There are times when a stu-
dent must back away and drop a
course before the semester begins
to accelerate—feasible options can
quickly diminish once the semes-
ter gains momentum.
Dropping any class is a seri-
ous step, not a trivial matter to
be entered into without due con-
sideration. There are perfectly le-
gitimate reasons to drop a class.
Similarly, there are valid reasons
to remain in a course.
Generally, on the fi rst day of
class a course syllabus is distrib-
uted to students. The syllabus
is unquestionably one of the sin-
gle most important documents
a student will ever receive from
their instructor.
More importantly, however, is
that the syllabus acts as a con-
tract between the instructor and
the student.
The syllabus details to stu-
dents what the instructor will
bring to the course. Typically, the
syllabus will contain the correct
course section, name of the class,
the designated meeting days
and time, required textbook, pro-
fessor’s availability, attendance
policy, grading policy and other
facets of the instructor’s guide-
lines. Likewise, the syllabus will
contain what the instructor ex-
pects of the students. Some ex-
amples include participation, at-
tendance, assignments, quizzes,
exams, etc.
Consequently, if a student is
concerned with any portion of the
syllabus, it would be wise to dis-
cuss it promptly with the instruc-
tor and ask for clarifi cation.
Without a one-on-one conver-
sation, hypothetically speaking,
the instructor could later state all
of this information is included in
my syllabus so the student should
have dropped the class early on if
they did not like the way in which
it was set up.
Under the circumstances,
remaining in a diffi cult or de-
manding class can actually
impair a student’s grades in their
other courses.
It is basic human nature to
work harder in a problematic class
to achieve an adequate grade. Re-
grettably, a students’ determina-
tion to achieve well in a challeng-
ing class can actually undercut
the students remaining classes,
causing them to score lower in
one’s remaining curriculum.
If it is impossible to get a good
grade, and there is no possible
way that to pull this grade up by
the end of the semester, than the
only recourse may be to drop the
class. Normally, having a ‘W’ on a
transcript looks better to transfer-
ring universities than having a ‘C’
or below.
A warning for students who
are considering dropping a
course—there may be conse-
quences if one falls below full-time
status. Full-time status, at Lake
Land College, is a minimum 12
hours during the spring and fall
semesters, six hours during the
summer semester.
The method of payment
for college tuition can directly
affect and infl uence one’s abil-
ity to drop courses. Many
student loans, grants and
scholarships contain stipu-
lations that require students
to be enrolled in a full-
time curriculum.
If a student falls to a part-time
status, they may lose a scholar-
ship or fi nd that they are required
to make immediate payments
on an existing student loan.
When receiving any type of
tuition assistance, it is best to
check with the Financial Aid offi ce
before dropping any coursework
to avoid penalties.
Dropping a class one semes-
ter, more than likely, means it will
have to be repeated during a later
semester. Therefore, use sound
judgment when deciding whether
to drop a course.
Never enter into the decision of
dropping a course lightly—weigh
and balance the options care-
fully before making a decision of
this magnitude!

The jury has reached a verdict on a single countjury deadlocked on remaining 23By Daniel J. Beauchamp
Business Manager
Former Illinois Governor Rod
Blagojevich, 53, was found guilty
on Tuesday, August 17, 2010, af-
ter 14 days of deliberations on
a single count of making false
statements to the FBI. The jury
was unable to reach a unanimous
verdict on the 23 other charges.
The judge declared a mistrial on
the other 23 counts.
Blagojevich vehemently denied
doing anything improper, and in a
written statement prior to the trail
Blagojevich maintained his inno-
cence. “I want the people of Illinois
to know I did not lie to the FBI,”
Blagojevich told reporters. “I told
the truth from the very beginning.
This is a persecution.”
Gov. Blagojevich was charged
with counts ranging from conspir-
acy to commit extortion, attempted
extortion, conspiracy to commit
bribery, making false statements
to the FBI, mail fraud, wire fraud
and others.
“The breadth of corruption laid
out in these charges is stagger-
ing,” said U.S. Attorney Patrick
Fitzgerald in a statement following
Blagojevich’s arrest. “They allege
that Blagojevich put a ‘for sale’ sign
on the naming of a United States
senator [and] involved himself per-
sonally in pay-to-play schemes
with the urgency of a salesman
meeting his annual sales target.”
Blagojevich, elected Gov-
ernor of Illinois in 2002, had
once envisioned himself as a
presidential contender. He ran for
governor as a reform candidate
promising to clean up the Illinois’
messy politics.
Ousted Gov. Blagojevich plead-
ed innocent to all 24 counts against
him. Among them Blagojevich
pleaded not guilty to scheming
to sell or trade Obama’s Sen-
ate seat for fi nancial and other
personal gains. Purportedly,
Blagojevich’s aspirations included
an annual salary of $250,000-
$300,000 at a nonprofi t founda-
tion or an organization associated
with labor unions.
Blagojevich referred to the va-
cant Senate seat in a taped conver-
sation, as a ploy to reap revenues.
“I’ve got this thing, and it’s [bleep-
ing] golden. I’m just not giving it up
for [bleeping] nothing.”
By the time of his arrest, pros-
ecutors allege Blagojevich was in
the middle of a “shopping spree”
trying to fi ll the vacant Senate seat
for fi nancial inducements. The in-
dictment said that after Obama
was elected president, Blagojevich
began meeting with others to fi g-
ure out a way he could make mon-
ey from his position to appoint a
replacement senator.
In the case that led to his ar-
rest, prosecutors say Blagojevich
called the opportunity to choose
Obama’s replacement a “gold
mine.” Pondering one post, to be
fi nanced in part by a labor union,
Blagojevich is quoted as saying,
“I’d like a four-year contract for a
million a year or somethin’. Or
750 or whatever. It’d have
to be good. Obama’s got
excess money; he just
gives them more money.”
The prosecutor alleged
that Blagojevich is record-
ed on tape demanding promises
of campaign resources, including
cash up front, a corporate board
seat for his wife, Patricia, worth as
much as $150,000 a year and an
ambassadorship for himself in the
Obama administration.
Blagojevich is accused of deny-
ing state business to companies
that would not hire his wife and
extorting campaign contributions
from a children’s hospital that
was set to get state money. The
prosecutor cited the incident
where Blagojevich purportedly said
he wanted to withdraw $8 million
in funding from the Children’s
Memorial Hospital in Chicago
because he did not receive $50,000
in personal contributions from
the hospital.
Additional charges allege that
Blagojevich attempted to infl u-
ence the composition of The Chi-
cago Tribune editorial board in
exchange for state aid to the
Tribune Company.
Some the greatest damage to
Blagojevich’s political standing
came from the trial and convic-
tion of one of his closest support-
ers, Antoin Rezko. Rezko was one
of Blagojevich’s top fund-raisers,
bringing his campaign contribu-
tions, according to federal authori-
ties, to more than $1.4 million
from 2001 to 2004.
“Neither Blagojevich nor his
campaign fund received any mon-
ey,” John Beal, former Justice
Department attorney, stated. The
fact that Blagojevich’s wife, Patti,
was paid by Rezko may not be suf-
fi cient to persuade jurors that her
husband was guilty he said.
Days before the outcome of this
trial Turner said, “They might just
spend taxpayer money on another
trial, and then just get the same
outcome. If this jury can’t seem to
reach a verdict, it should send a
message to prosecution: This case
is not very strong.”
On every charge except for one,
they could not prove that I
did anything wrong. I told
the truth from the
very beginning.

“I’m saddened and hurt, but I am not surprised by the indictment,” Blagojevich said. “I am innocent. I now will fi ght in the courts to clear my name.”

In April, the world, the sea
and the British Petroleum Oil
Company (BP) were hit with an
astonishing blow when one of
BP’s oil wells started leaking mil-
lions of gallons of oil into the Gulf
of Mexico.
One would think that this
problem should have been solved
quickly, but it has been four
months now and the BP company
is just now having success at stop-
ping the leak.
Since the spill, everything that
BP has been doing has been un-
der heavy criticism; from CEO’s
resigning to hazardous oil disper-
sants, many Americans have de-
cided that thinking about the spill
is not worth any more of their time
and it seems as if they have just
laid back and forgotten about it.
The fact is that the oil spill is still
there and it is still a heavy issue.
According to BP’s website, the
cement plug that they have cre-
ated to stop the leak has been
successful after its initial testing
and they estimate that within the
next month, the fi rst wave of relief
should wash over the gulf.
Now that the oil leak is stopped,
the serious cleanup has started.
On the “Cleanup” page of the oil
giant’s website, BP claims, “We
are fi ghting the oil spill at sea by
skimming oil from the surface,
carrying out controlled burns and
spraying dispersant. Hundreds of
miles of protective boom have been
laid.” Booms are fl oating barriers
that corral the oil on the surface of
the water.
All these things look to be do-
ing their job, but offi cials
have started research-
ing what future conse-
quences these cleanup
methods can have on the
environment. The dis-
persants that BP is us-
ing can very well be more
harm than help, according to Toxi-
cologist William Sawyer.
Interviewed by Fox News in
Louisiana, the Florida Toxicolo-
gist said that the dispersant itself
may not be toxic but when it
mixes with oil, it “releases PAH’s
(polynuclear aromatic hydrocar-
bons) that are known to bio-ac-
cumulate in sea creatures, such
as blue crab larvae,” according
to Sawyer.
These hydrocarbons that are
bio-accumulating in sea-life are
cancer-causing to humans and
become more concentrated as they
travel down the food chain.
It is looking as if BP still has
a handful of things to accom-
plish before the oil spill is all said
and done. Not only do they still
have a mess to clean up, but
they still have the consequenc-
es from the mess to deal with as
well. Hopefully within the next
year or so, this environmental di-
saster will be behind the U.S. and
the world!
The end of FutureGen as we know itBy Mark W. Jensen
News & Opinion Editor
FutureGen is a futuristic, state-
of-the-art power plant that Mat-
toon, Ill. was selected to receive by
the Department of Energy (DOE)
in 2007. The DOE chose Mattoon
as its site after a vigorous selection
and deduction process with four
other contestants in both Illinois
and Texas.
Over the period of the last three
years, the amount of federal funds
for the project have decreased,
coupled with proposed changes
that have caused Mattoon leaders
to say no to FutureGen.
The FutureGen Alliance was
drawn up as a zero emissions coal-
fi red power plant with a carbon
emissions capture. The plant, ca-
pable of producing 275 megawatts
had an original price tag of about
$1.8 billion. This futuristic power
plant was supposed to be built 3.5
miles northwest of Mattoon.
Due to rising costs of the proj-
ect, the DOE has planned to re-
structure the project: now called
FutureGen 2.0. The new project
designates that the town of Mere-
dosia, Ill. would receive the origi-
nally proposed plant designated for
Mattoon, while the site in Mattoon
would be used as a storage loca-
tion for the carbon emissions pro-
duced from the Meredosia plant.
To get the carbon emissions
gas from the plant in Meredosia
to Mattoon, a 175 mile pipeline
would need to be constructed, and
a storage site up to fi ve times the
original size of the 2.2 mile site
outside of Mattoon would need to
be established.
“You’d have to go to every
landowner in a whole town to
negotiate easements for subsur-
face rights underneath, that’s not
going to happen,” said Rep.
Chapin Rose.
Also, new guidelines from the
DOE state that any pipeline built
from the Meredosia site would need
to be within a 100-mile radius,
thus taking Mattoon and Tuscola,
Ill. (one of the other contestants
for the original power plant) out of
the running.
Proposed plans for the con-
struction of the new plant in
Meredosia are not set to begin
until 2012 according the
DOE. However, there is
skepticism as to whether or not
the Meredosia site will be able
to meet all EPA requirements by
that time.
Senator Dick Durbin stated in a
press release, “I remain convinced
that FutureGen 2.0 will create
thousands of jobs, generate sub-
stantial economic activity, provide
important environmental benefi ts
and infuse more than $1.2 billion
in federal funds to the state of Il-
linois. I am committed to moving
this project forward and ensur-
ing our state is the leader in clean
coal technology.”
What is the future of Fu-
tureGen? At this point it is hard
to say.
A computer generation of what the Mattoon Ill. FutureGen would have looked like.

Meet Blake Leitch: A man for the people By Megan Hammond
Campus & Features Editor
Last year Blake Leitch
would have never thought he
would be saying that within
the next year he would be-
come a crucial member of
the Student Government As-
sociation (SGA), earning the
title of Student Trustee on
the Lake Land College Board
of Trustees. But in August he
was saying just that as he
helped out with book rental
for fall classes.
Leitch, a Mattoon High
School graduate, is now a full-
time student at Lake Land
College after spending seven
years in the United States
Army and doing various other
work, including plumbing.
When Leitch was asked
about why he ran for the
Student Trustee position,
he said that he “slowly walked
into it,” involving himself with
the SGA and the Student Ac-
tivity Board (SAB) and decid-
ing to run for the Student
Trustee position this spring.
“I saw it as a great oppor-
tunity,” Leitch said. Having a
student on the Board of Trust-
ees gives the students a voice
in the way the school plans to
spend funding, but Leitch has
a particular group of students
he wants to represent.
“The average student [age]
at LLC is 28 years old,” said
Leitch, who is 28 himself.
“I’m representing the average
student; dislocated workers
and especially military veter-
ans.” Leitch wishes to give the
non-traditional students a
voice that they have never
had before.
“I don’t want traditional
students to be forgotten,” he
added, “but I want veterans to
be honored and known.”
This year, Leitch will be
working for Danielle Downs,
the Financial Aid and
Veteran Services Advisor,
as part of a work study. He
is fi nishing his associate de-
gree in Speech Communica-
tion and plans to transfer
to Eastern Illinois Univer-
sity when he graduates
from LLC.
Additionally, Leitch and
his wife Jackie became par-
ents this summer. Baby boy
Spencer is the newest addi-
tion the Leitch family.
Leitch has a lot going for
him this year and has many
people supporting him in
everything he is doing. The
student body really seems to
look forward to what he has
in store for the students at
LLC this year.

Depression + substance abuse = a dead-end roadBy Samantha J. Brandel
Copy Editor
More than 32,000 people die
by suicide each year, it is the 11th
leading cause of death in the Unit-
ed States. Although each suicide
has a unique set of circumstanc-
es, over 90 percent of people who
die by suicide have a psychiatric
illness, usually substance abuse
and/or mood disorder which is
often undiagnosed, untreated
or both.
Although data is highly vari-
able from year to year, in 2007,
1,108 people, which is a rate of
8.6 people per 100,000, died by
suicide in the state of Illinois.
The overall total suicide deaths
in the United States the same
year was 34,598, or a rate of 11.5
per 100,000 people.
In addition to psychiatric ill-
ness, impulsivity, demographics,
sex, age, genetic predisposition
and past history of suicide at-
tempts are risk factors for sui-
cide. Between 20 and 50 percent
of suicide victims have previously
intentionally harmed themselves.
A suicide crisis is a time-limit-
ed occurrence that signals an im-
mediate danger of suicide. This is
in contrast to suicide risk which is
a very broad term to describe the
aspects mentioned above.
Fifty to 75 percent of sui-
cide victims tip off their friends
and/or family members of their
intentions, and these suicide
crisis warning signs must be
taken seriously.
The recognizable signs are: A
precipitating event that is more
distressing than usual; changes
in routine behavior; deteriorating
social functioning; desperation,
rage, guilt, hopelessness, sense
of abandonment, or any intense
affective state combined with de-
pression; and/or speech that sug-
gests the individual is leaving, ei-
ther direct (“I wish I were dead.”)
or indirect (“My family would be
better off without me.”).
Cody Stearley, an English
Education major and freshman
at LLC talked about a victim of
suicide that he knew. “Everyone
wanted to know ‘why’? He was
popular and on the football team.
He worked for his dad and he had
nice things, but he was heavily
into drugs.”
The risk of self-infl icted harm
and suicide is much greater in
young adults when substance
abuse exists in conjunction with a
mood disorder. If open aggression,
anxiety or agitation is also present
in these individuals then the risk
of suicide is increased.
If an individual begins using
alcohol or drugs, starts taking un-
necessary risks, acts impulsively,
threatens suicide, has unexpected
rage or anger, begins making a
plan by giving away their posses-
sions, or purchasing deadly imple-
ments (gun, poison, medication)
not previously used, these are all
imminent warning signs.
If someone you know is in cri-
sis, take it seriously. Listen to
them, let them know your con-
cerns and get them help. Do not
leave a suicidal person alone. Re-
move any dangerous objects or
substances and get the individual
to a treatment facility, call 911 if
necessary.
While most depressed people
are not suicidal, most suicide
victims are depressed. Depres-
sion and other psychiatric
illness, in most cases, is recog-
nizable and treatable. Some
helpful Web sites where
more can be learned are www.
afsp.org, www.suicide.org, and

I wanna “sext” you upBy Bernadette Francis
Staff Writer
The last think anyone wants is a begrudg-
ing ex to have nude pictures of them at their
disposal. According to the Chicago Tribune,
75 percent of college students admit to having
sent some form of nude photos of their self via
phone or Internet.
Sexting is when provocative pictures or
messages are sent to others by cell phone.
Although this act is considered a felony
if the person in the picture is underage,
college students who are usually over the
age of 18 could also get in trouble with
the laws addressing this phenomenon
called sexting.
Texting, instant messages and emails are
easy because they lack the confrontation as-
pect. It is very easy to get hooked on sexting
because one may have the confi dence to say or
do over the phone one may not be able to say
or do in person.
One must remember that when something
is sent over the Internet it is no longer private.
The risk might be greater than one thinks and
the more the act of sexting is committed, the
more one plays into the odds of someone fi nd-
ing these risqué photos or messages.
Also, bear in mind that these choice picture
of oneself that are sent to someone can be for-
warded over and over again. This could come
back to haunt a person, sometimes years or
decades later.
The majority of teens and young adults can
understand the appeal of sexting; perhaps a
current lover is out of state and it is nice to
keep the fi re burning.
In this day and age when everyone is on
a social network such as Facebook, having
nude pictures in a private album may not be
the best idea. There are so many hackers out
there, and where nude pictures could ulti-
mately end up is unknown.
To some people, sending a sexy picture to
a crush may be fun, but the person receiving
it may consider it creepy, or decide to pass it
along to a friend. Just think about the con-
sequences before making the decision to sext,
some things really need to remain private.
The bottom line is sexy photos and fl irty
videos of oneself can be fun and add spice to
a committed relationship, but once you put
it out there, it is just that: out there. Be re-
sponsible and mature and think of the images
and what kind of effects they may have on
one’s future.

Walk in circles, you’ll fi nd it: A letter from the editorBy Lindsey Probst
Managing Editor
Starting college is a great tran-
sition for many students. Howev-
er, Lake Land College offers a few
ways to make that transition a
bit smoother.
Lake Land College contains
a Student Life Offi ce where you
can get to know other college
students in a non-academic
setting. This offi ce is located
by Subway in the Student
Services building. Student Gov-
ernment Association (SGA),
Student Activity Board (SAB) and
the Navigator News all call this of-
fi ce home.
SGA is “One Body, One Mind,
One Voice.” If a student has any
questions or concerns dealing
with Lake Land College, SGA is
the group that will listen. This
year, Allison Telgmann is the
President of SGA and will handle
all dealings with student rights on
campus.
Until Sept. 3, SGA will be ac-
cepting applications and stu-
dent-signed petitions. Formal
campus-wide elections will be
held Sept. 14 and 15. If you have
any additional questions
you should email SGA at
studentgovernment@lakelandcol-
lege.edu. Meetings for this orga-
nization are during the activity
block on Wednesdays at 11
a.m. in the Student Life
Conference Room.
SAB is in charge of giving away
free stuff to students…it is a hard
life. They organize events like Wel-
come Day and Spring Carnival.
The woman in charge of your fun
and entertainment this year is
Miss Brandie Heitkamp.
If you are interested in being a
part of the board, SAB is looking
for new freshmen and sophomores
to join in on the fun. Applications
will be accepted until Sept. 8. Ap-
plicants will then interview with
the board for a position on Sept.
8, 9 and10.
SAB events are open and free
to all students on Wednesdays,
also during the activity block,
at 11 a.m. September highlights
include a “Thinkfast” game show,
“Sex Signals,” and a Wiffl e Ball
tournament.
So, to all you new freshman I
suggest staying involved on cam-
pus to gain a more well-rounded
college experience. If none of the
Student Life organizations fi t your
fancy, Lake Land College also of-
fers about 30 other clubs in which
to participate.
Freshman year is easy to get
through, just be open to meeting
new people and new experiences.
Best wishes to all the new Lakers
out there!
Nightmare on unemployment streetBy Maria Mink
Staff Writer
What does a person do when your govern-
ment agencies are not there for you like they
promise? What happens when you are told
that they will help you work toward another
career and fail to deliver? What happens when
you will receive unemployment benefi ts while
doing so and all of a sudden the checks stop?
The buck stopped, but it was not here.
Being unemployed due to the auto industry
collapse, displaced workers saw an opportu-
nity to have a better career that would ben-
efi t their families. Many people jumped at the
chance. I am one of those people.
What followed became one of my worst
nightmares. My government became the big
scary monster that lurks in the dark closet.
Since May, there have been long lapses in
unemployment checks due to losing my exten-
sion and being transferred to the Trade Ad-
justment Assistance Reform program (TAA).
This stopped my unemployment checks or any
other government aid. This caused my utilities
to be turned off, late loan and rent payments.
Finances and late charges accumulated.
Congress passed the unemployment exten-
sion. When this happened it all went south
again for us on the TAA program. Since the
extension was passed I was moved to unem-
ployment again until those funds are used up
and then transferred back to TAA benefi ts.
Opening up my mail I received a letter from
unemployment stating that I have no exten-
sion left. There is time-frame when I will have
to be transferred back to the TAA program.
The TAA program is an excellent program.
The sad part is TAA recipients have to go weeks
without an unemployment check and have no-
body to fi ght for their rights within the unem-
ployment offi ce. Knowing this, many would not
have signed the contract with them. It turned
into loads of paperwork veri-
fying classroom attendance
and mileage reports.
TAA does not hold up
their end of the contract.
Being on the TAA program
with a family has caused
undue fi nancial hardships. Not
one person in the unemployment cares if
you can feed your children due to the lack of
a check.
Once again, I am behind in my bills.
I face being evicted, late car payments,
utility bills and no income to buy gas to
get to school, and attendance is manda-
tory to keep my grant.
Unemployment gave me a phone num-
ber to the regional offi ce that only goes to voice
mail. I have been waiting days for a reply.
This is my story, but know there are oth-
ers who are dealing with the same thing
as I. In the state of Illinois alone there
are over 155,000 people on the TAA program
and many of them are waiting on paper-
work and pay checks. This fi gure does not
include those on unemployment alone. I
have become very disillusioned with my gov-
ernment and the promises they make.
My government has let me down. I have
called my Senators, my Congressmen but
I have a feeling that when they sit down to
their steak dinner at night, they don’t give me
or the thousands who are in the same situa-
tion as I am, a second thought.

Reduce stigma, reduce stressBy Nikki Davidson
Staff Writer
“He that is good with a hammer tends to
think everything is a nail.”
These are the words of a well-respected co-
founder of humanistic psychology, Abraham
Maslow. This quote is a great way to describe
the way that many mentally well people per-
ceive those with mental illnesses.
Most humans fi nd life to be challenging
at times, but sustainable and enjoyable. The
mentally well are skilled with problem solving
and states of mind. They have a hard time un-
derstanding that those with mental illnesses
are poorly equipped to live life as fl uidly. The
mentally ill are stigmatized.
It is not farfetched for one to understand
that a diabetic needs insulin. However, a bi-
polar man is ostracized by his peers for being
hospitalized or taking medication. Bipolar dis-
order is an illness the same as diabetes, but
there is a large difference in attitudes toward
the illnesses. A person who has survived a sui-
cide attempt and has scars does not have the
same opportunity for employment as someone
who does not have scars.
The laymen often have misconceptions and
strong personal opinions about mental illness.
They tend to think that the mentally ill are vio-
lent, weak and forever tainted.
Violence is not common among an over-
whelming majority of the mentally ill. Each
disorder or disease has its symptoms and vio-
lent behaviors are the minority of these symp-
toms.
Anyone can be stricken with a mental dis-
order at any time in their life. Marilyn Monroe
is known to be one of the strongest women in
pop culture history, yet she was affected with
depression and overdosed on barbiturates.
Jim Carrey, a successful, comedic actor,
was affl icted by depression. He was not forev-
er tainted; he sought treatment and continued
his career as an actor.
Twenty-fi ve percent of families and one in
six adults have diagnosable mental illnesses.
This is a problem worth investigating and im-
plementing resources for the public full of fac-
tual and non-discriminatory information.
A few groups exist such as National Alliance
on Mental Illness (NAMI) and Bring Change 2
Mind. Glenn Close has been a valuable fi gure-
head, sponsoring Bring Change 2 Mind, and
sharing her personal experience as the sister
of a bipolar woman with the nation.
Educate yourself and be aware of the
struggles of your less fortunate mentally ill
peers. They are people too.Glenn Close, an advocate for for mental health.
Extra 15 pounds on the freshman menu By Bernadette Francis
Staff Writer
“It comes like a thief in the
night, you never see it com-
ing, and before you know it your
clothes can’t fi t anymore,” said
Jade Prince, a second semes-
ter sociology major at Lake Land
College. Prince isn’t alone; one of
every college student’s main
fears when starting college is
gaining weight; what some call the
freshman 15.
As thousands of high school
graduates leave the comfort of
their parent’s home for college,
the stress of having rigorous stud-
ies, living in an environment with
unlimited access to food at any
time of day and limited ability to
move about freely can create the
inevitable: The freshman 15.
One of the challenges for a
freshman is deciding what to eat
and the time it takes to prepare
something healthy. This often
deters the student from cooking
and that is when they reach for
a burger or fries and the begin-
ning of eating unhealthy foods
and putting on unwanted extra
pounds begins.
Students tend to eat what
tastes good rather than think-
ing of food with nutritional value.
Even at the cafeterias in most col-
leges the choices of healthy foods
being available are slim to none.
Venessa Chinkwahgwa, a pre-
medical student at Lake Land Col-
lege admits to gaining about 10
pounds her fi rst semester mostly
due to being bored, lack of exer-
cise and eating footlong subs with
extra mayonnaise at Subway.
Chinkwahgwa also dealt with the
stress of being away
from friends and
family which added
to her weight gain.
According to the
Journal of Ameri-
can College Health,
49 percent of col-
lege students gain
an average of seven
pounds their fi rst
semester of college.
The premise of
gaining weight in
college is sim-
ple; living
on one’s
own so
there ex-
ists more time and options to eat
whatever, at any time of the day.
Fortunately, the skills of man-
aging weight while in college are
easy. One must be disciplined,
willing to make the right food
choices and maybe hit the gym
a couple times a week. If serious
about maintaining one’s weight
and not gaining the dreaded fresh-
man 15 then a few sacrifi ces must
be made.
Limit the amount of burg-
ers, fries and pizza eaten during
the week. Try substituting those
foods with a healthier choice like
fruits or maybe a bowl of cereal. It
may be easier said than done, but
it can be achieved if the mind is
set for results.
Managing weight involves plan-
ning meals and exercising regu-
larly as well as anticipating high
stress situations that may trig-
ger overreacting such as a tight
class schedule.
Here is a list of avoidances to
keep from gaining the freshman
15. Do not: eat late
at night, keep un-
healthy snacks in
rooms, drink al-
cohol in excess or
lack exercise regu-
larly. Also, get in-
volved in school ac-
tivities and clubs;
it is a great way to
stay active.

Scott Pilgrim, quite the voyageBy Lindsey Probst
Managing Editor
Scott Pilgrim, played by Michael
Cera, is a 22-year-old guy from
Toronto, Canada who thought
his sad life would never be
interesting again.
After dreaming about and meet-
ing Ramona Flowers (Mary Eliza-
beth Winstead), Pilgrim is thrown
into a high stakes game of love.
“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” is an
odd combination of drama, com-
edy, romance and action—all of
which was adapted from Bryan Lee
O’Malley’s graphic novel.
The audience may get confused
while experiencing this fi lm, main-
ly because it is hard to discern if
what you see is a rock concert,
movie, comic book or if you are
racing your way to extreme levels
of the latest video game. But, it is a
good confusion.
Jam-packed with special ef-
fects, the movie is set up as if it
were a comic book or a video game.
It even includes all the onomato-
poeia (sound) words like “ding
dong” and “pow”. Other parts are
scattered with written side com-
ments like, “He has to pee,” as
if the scene were posted on a
white board.
Basically, Director Edgar
Wright made a video game into
a movie. “Scott Pilgrim vs. the
World” has all the classic levels,
including ally battles, battling
multiples and things
even get a little “Gui-
tar Hero”-esque with
a bass battle.
We follow Pilgrim
through his every-
day life and relation-
ship with Ramona as
he occasionally has
an impromptu battle
with one of his girl-
friend’s evil ex’s. It is
the classic story of
nerdy guy gets the
girl…with super awe-
some fi ght scenes.
After a fairly nor-
mal start, the movie
takes a weird turn
into a half-dreamland
half-reality phase.
We are smacked in
the face with very
realistic special ef-
fects, but get
lost with the
story line.
This is
where logic
says “game
over.” The au-
dience never re-
ally falls for the
love interest and is thrown back
and forth between edgy Ramona
and his safe high school girlfriend,
Knives Chau (Ellen Wong). It is
if his love was the ball in a game
of “Pong.”
Many of the real life scenarios
are awkwardly unbelievable. I can
see that they were trying to make
his world seem wacky like a video
game. But, they way Scott’s life is
fl ung between reality and a virtual
reality without any explanation is
a bit odd.
I give props to the cinematogra-
pher, Bill Pope (“The Matrix” and
“Spiderman 2”)
for making the
unreal world of
video games a
KO, even if it made the real scenes
seem unreal. However, it is a great
leap toward success compared
to Robert Rodriguez’s attempt to
make a virtual reality into reality
in “Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over.”
Aside from the fl ashy effects
and gamer sentiment, Cera does
not disappoint. Of course, he plays
the wristband wearing, dweeby yet
lovable loser as he does in most all
of his castings like “Juno” and “Su-
perbad,” but in “Scott Pilgrim vs.
the World” he has a fi st that can
send an opponent spinning across
the room.
“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” is
really the story of how a slightly
social awkward gamer may feel as
he or she goes through life. Love
and relationships may not be easy,
always a battle to be won. Scott
Pilgrim and Cera prove that nerdy
guys can triumph in life, even if
only in a video game.
Overall, “Scott Pilgrim vs.
the World” is a must see for all
classic video game lovers and
even the people that only played
when they were children. The well-
made fi ght scenes, a great sup-
porting cast and
crazy special ef-
fects overshadow
the lacking story
line. The tagline “An epic of epic
epicness” may be a little exagger-
ated, but the movie is defi nitely
victorious.
The movie is one that should
just be watched, not delved into.
It is a great movie to experience
and it has put a twist on the
trend of turning comic books into
movies. Do not be surprised if
next time you go to a movie the-
ater, you see another movie trying
to be a video game. But for now,
“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” is one
of a kind.

The song “Love the Way You
Lie” by Eminem and Rihanna
has gotten quite a bit of con-
troversy in the short time it has
been out. It seems fans will ei-
ther love or hate it, with little
middle ground.
Some say it is the best work
yet of Eminem, that Rihanna
is the one who made the song,
and that both were at the top
of their game. Though others
insist it was far from the best
from both artists and some
even say it was terrible.
The biggest controversy
though would have to be about
what the song portrays and
the meaning of it. Fans have
asked, in a not so calm man-
ner, why these artists would be
willing to endorse such violence
in relationships.
It has been suggested that
the reason was just to sell the
music. That perhaps Eminem
has no idea how many die-hard
fans will simply take what he
says as gospel, not even con-
sidering the right or wrong
of it.
Critics say the song sug-
gests women to be weak, and
stupid, not only believing every
lie, but being ok with it. Where
as they say it portrays men to
do no wrong, in the aspect that
it is always okay to come back,
no matter what, even if he him-
self knows he is only lying to
get what he wants.
On the other side of things,
people say it was very well writ-
ten, and they love how relatable
it is. That it is life, it happens,
but love is worth it, love out-
lasts all things. The optimist
might even say it is the artists
attempt to warn, seeing as they
have been in abusive relation-
ships themselves.
That it’s not to condone
such behavior, but to say they
understand and can relate to
the average person. To show
that they know what it is like,
to go through such pain, but
be willing to live with it for the
love of that person.
Whatever your opinion may
be about the songs portrayal,
most will agree the musical as-
pect of it worked well. Although
the two artists separately have
very different styles, somehow
they go well with each other.
The song is already a huge hit,
and is expected to be one of the
year’s hottest songs.

Many people have seen the Transform-
ers movies; some may even remember the
cartoon. However, does anyone know how
the war between the Autobots and Decep-
ticons even started? Well thanks to Activi-
sion, Blizzard and High Moon Studios now
we will.
The game takes place on the Transformers
home world of Cybertron. There is campaign
mode played for single player or up to three
player co-op. Characters are either played as
the Autobots or the Decepticons.
When one faction’s story is fi nished, the
other faction’s story will start. The single play-
er campaign is not really the main appeal for
this game though, as many people game on-
line, this is where this game really shines.
I played this game myself and it was fantas-
tic. Even while being fragged by another player
one cannot help but have fun. For those that
have played “Gears of War” this game will feel
very familiar.
The camera perspective is third person
over-the-shoulder and fast paced. No one who
enjoys “Unreal Tournament” will be disap-
pointed. The death matches are as epic as gets
without blowing up the console from the sheer
amount of awesome that this game mass-pro-
duces for our consumption!
There are four classes to choose from, all
of which are customizable. The classes are
scout, scientist, soldier and leader. The differ-
ent classes all have special abilities and attri-
butes; for instance, scouts can move fast and
turn invisible but lack signifi cant fi repower
to take on several people in a fi refi ght so it is
necessary to be stealthy and pick people off
one-by-one.
It works like rock, paper, scissors; one class
is not very good against one as it is the other,
though this is not concrete as long as you are
good enough to outsmart your friends.
The different game modes are all very fun
and will involve teamwork, so it is safe to say
play nice and your team mates will not kill
you. However, avoid pretending to be Rambo,
or you almost certainly die. I tried this ap-
proach… I ran out of ammo, everyone aimed
at me and my teammates laughed at me. It
was not a great experience.
Overall, I give this game 5 out of 5.

Mama warned youMama warned you about playing with your food
Over 200 years ago, atop one of the steep-
est hills in England, a tradition started with
a wheel of cheese. Cooper’s Hill, near Glouc-
ester, England is host to the Cooper’s Hill
Cheese Rolling and Wake every Spring Bank
Holiday (the last Monday in May).
Do not let the name of this strange
sport trick you. It is not only the cheese
that does the rolling! Competitors, mainly
from the local village, race down the hill, or
cliff rather, in pursuit of the cheese wheel.
The fi rst “athlete” to cross the fi nish line is
the champion.
Originally, the goal was to in fact, catch the
cheese, offi cially called a Double Gloucester.
However, the cheese gets an unfair one-second
head start, and travels at speeds of roughly
70 mph.
While standing at the top of Cooper’s Hill,
competitors say it is so steep “that the rays
of the sun rarely fall on the slope itself!” For
the math majors out there, “[t]he slope has a
gradient that is in places 1-in-2 and in others
1-in-1!”
In fact, the face of the hill is literally
concave, and unable to be seen at the top.
The terrain of the hill makes it almost impos-
sible to stay standing the entire 200 yard ven-
ture down.
At the bottom of the hill, waiting for the
fl ailing competitors is a burly line of Rugby
players who are there to halt all tumblers be-
fore they hit the fence.
Much to the dismay of the small town
in England, cheese rolling was offi cially can-
celed in March of 2010. This dismissal was
due to the lack of paramedics available in re-
lation to the amount of competitors attending
the race.
It comes as no surprise that injuries
are a part of the game as the competitors
tumble down the hill. Just like football, or
any other contact sport, sometimes you
have to hurt to get the win. In this sport,
victor waddles home with their very own
seven pound wheel of cheese.
Despite risk of injury, over 500 competi-
tors showed up for an unoffi cial race in May
2010, with not a single injury reported. Maybe
there is hope that one day twenty-something
guys can again bask in the glory of rolling
down a cliff for some cheese. But, until that
day, some unoffi cial cheese will just have to
“cut” it.

New volleyball coach sets the bar highBy Nikki Davidson
Staff Writer
Lake Land College’s volleyball
team has a fresh start this season
with a new head coach whose face
is quite familiar.
Amory Porter, the previous as-
sistant coach of three years, has
moved up to head of the team.
“This is a very strong program,”
said Porter, adding that the team
should continue its “winning tra-
dition.”
He would also like to add more
to the previously established dis-
cipline of the team. Last year the
volleyball team won the Academic
All-American team award, granted
to the team with the highest grade
point average.
When asked about this
season’s goals, Porter smiled
and said “The girls love to beat
John A. Logan, but the team
I want to win against is Iowa
Western.” He explained that
Iowa Western is a top 5 team
and that they have won the
nationals. “If we beat Iowa
Western, we’re on the road
to nationals.”
Personal and coaching experi-
ences are two assets Porter pos-
sesses. He began playing in high
school, and later on an area men’s
volleyball club and men’s beach
volleyball club. Before becoming
assistant coach at Lake Land in
2007, he coached a junior volley-
ball club.
Porter is well equipped to
instill discipline in the team
after serving six years in the
Army Reserve. He was married
last July and bought a home in
Arcola last August. He now re-
sides there with his wife Lori and
their two cats.
The fi rst game of the sea-
son will be hosted by the Lady
Lakers on Aug. 30 at 6:30 p.m.
against Lindenwood. Ashli Wick-
er, a former player, will debut as a
ssistant coach.Navi
