One of LHU’s most prominent features is the study abroad program, which markets the ability to travel in-ternationally and learn at one of the partner universities. As a result, the school also receives foreign students.
These students make up an in-teresting part of LHU’s diversity be-cause their ethnicity or race is not LQFOXGHG� LQ� WKH� XQLYHUVLW\·V� RIÀFLDO�rosters since they pay tuition at their home universities. This is what differ-entiates them from the students who are labeled as ‘Non-resident alien’ because the International Students do not get a degree from LHU. How-ever, International students bring with them the opportunity for LHU
students to learn from a new culture without traveling to do so.
'HVSLWH� WKH� EHQHÀWV� RI� VWXG\LQJ�abroad, the Institutional Research Report indicates that the number of foreign exchange students who come of LHU plummeted in 2013.
In 2010, there were approximate-ly 126. It dropped to half that amount in 2013, and only received three more students in 2014.
“The main reason for the decline is that, for every student we send over there, the university sends one of theirs,” said Rosana Campbell, the Director for Institute for Inter-national Studies. “For whatever rea-son, LHU students aren’t studying abroad and our foreign intake lowers to match that.”
However, the students who are able to come study at LHU general-
ly report a favorable atmosphere and one that is easily adjusted to.
“I did not have any problems with LQWHJUDWLRQ�� 6LQFH� WKH� ÀUVW� GD\�� WKH�university has been taking care of international students,” said Mario Toledo Ros, who visited last semester from his university in Spain. “More-over, people are always ready to help students.”
The Institute for International Studies does all they can to make the students feel at ease while at Lock Haven and takes every available opportunity to socialize and make LHU students more culturally aware. Events like Culture through Coffee allow students to spend non-academic time with students.
“Everybody is always willing to help me in class and almost everyone is friendly,” said Toledo Ros.

This week in news:ESPN has suspend-
ed Keith Olbermann after he replies to a tweet from a Penn State Alum with “…Pitiful.” After Penn State graduate tweet-ed at Olbermann “We Are!” with a link to THON, the dance marathon fundraiser hosted by Penn State. Olbermann replied “...Pitiful.”
Dave Seidel tweet-ed: “So @KeithOl-bermann says PSU students raising over $13m for pediatric can-cer research is ‘pitiful.’ 1R�VLU��X�U�WKH�GHÀQL-tion of the word.”
Olbermann re-plied to Seidel with “No, Son. I said PSU students were pitiful. Had nothing to do with fundraising. #AlsoP-SUReadingCompre-hensionAppearsToBe-Weak.”
ESPN has issued a statement: “It was completely inappropri-DWH�DQG�GRHV�QRW�UHÁHFW�the views of ESPN.We have discussed it with Keith, who recognizes he was wrong. ESPN and Keith have agreed that he will not host his show for the re-mainder of this week and will return on
Monday.”Olbermann has
since said, “I apologize for the PSU tweets. I was stupid and childish and way less mature than the students there who did such a great fundraising job.” (http://www.cnet.com)
Guiliana Rancic has issued a pub-lic apology after comments she made on the Feb. 23 airing of Fashion Police. During the episode, Rancic joked about former Disney star Zendaya’s choice of dreadlocks for a hair-style, saying “I feel like she smells of patchouli oil. Or weed.”
Zendaya responded ZLWK��´7KHUH�LV�D�ÀQH�OLQH�EHWZHHQ�what is funny and disrespectful,” she wrote. “To say that an 18 year old
young woman with locs must smell of patchouli oil or ‘weed’ is not only a large stereotype but outrageously
offensive.”Rancic apol-
ogized, saying “Something I said last night did cross the line,” “I didn’t intend to hurt anybody, but I’ve learned it’s not my intent that matters, it’s the result.” The host also tweeted a direct apology to Zendaya.

Though LHU is a primarily white campus, some clubs work to create a sense of multicultural awareness among the student body during the semesters.
Several clubs on campus are devoted to help-ing students learn about cultures other than their own, either through membership or campus wide activities. These clubs include the Black Student Union (BSU), The International Student Associa-tion (ISA), the Latino Student Association (LSA) and the Asian Student Association (ASA).
Each club focuses on elements of different cultures, so that the LHU students leave with a global awareness without having to leave Pennsyl-vania. They plan activities for the entire campus,
like the BSU’s discussion on white privilege or ISA’s semiannual Culture through Coffee.
“The Culture through Coffee gives students an up close and personal look at the different cul-tures,” said Laila Longer, the ISA President and a senior majoring in International Studies. “Each year, the partner schools the international stu-dents come to study from tend to vary, so we try to give everyone a chance, particularly countries we may not get many students from.”
“We try to incorporate the entire student body by discussing topics that people can relate to so that everyone may have an opinion to share,” said 6KDÀ�)OHPLQJ��WKH�%68�3UHVLGHQW�DQG�FRPPXQL-cation major in his junior year.
The clubs typically meet once a week for regu-lar meetings and to discuss future events.
“Every week, our meetings are different. We sometimes teach club members how to dance
different styles, we teach each other about how different our cultures and food are,” said Sammy Done, a senior who is majoring in health science.
Currently, several of the clubs on campus are collaborating to host a series of events in March.
“We’ve been working with the other clubs to plan a bunch of events in March, including a Lip Synch battle,” said Done. “Plus, we’re planning a free trip to New York City. All of our events are free and open to anyone who wants to come.”

Besides these clubs, there are also other groups geared toward the different interests like the Spanish Club and the Anime Club. If students want to be more culturally aware, they only need to look at the club catalogue provided by the school WR�VHH�ZKHUH�WKH\�FDQ�ÀQG�RXW�PRUH�

Hard at work again, the University Players are producing Lock Haven
University’s rendition of the 1998 Broadway musical, “Footloose”. Featuring

ing choices and upbeat musical numbers, but overall
gave less than favorable reviews of the show.
Under the direction of David Leidholdt –
known locally for his work at the Millbrook
Playhouse in Mill Hall, Pennsylvania –The
University Player’s rendition will undoubt-
edly lead to better results this spring. The
diverse casting and countless hours of prac-
tice being put in by the cast and production
crew are sure to yield a noteworthy rendition.
Production is scheduled to run April 9th - 11th,
and again from April 16th - 18th. Cast and crew are
optimistic about the production, despite the usual minor set-
backs and delays of producing a show at a university.
From what the Eye can see, the set design for the production is a totally
XQLTXH�VHWXS��H[WHQGLQJ�6ORDQ�$XGLWRULXP·V�VWDJH�IDU�RXW� LQWR�WKH�ÀUVW�URZ�of the audience. This layout is sure to bring actors closer to the audience and
create a different feeling than previous shows performed in the same theatre.
After discussion with the show’s choreographer, we’ve learned that dance
numbers for the show are on track, and speaking from what the Eye has seen
during rehearsal, the actors are doing the title of the show justice.
Music for the production will be performed by a live pit
orchestra, as is usual with main stage productions at
Lock Haven University. Costumes will be designed
by the talented Ramona Broomer, an assistant
professor in the Visual and Performing Arts de-
partment. Dr. Broomer has been responsible
for creating costumes for many different main
stage productions during her time at Lock Ha-
ven University.

Horror movies are the best way to do something when you are bored, or
when you really want a good scare. For the past couple years, scary movies
KDYH�FKDQJHG�RYHU�WLPH��:LWK�QHZ�W\SHV�RI�ÀOP�WHFKQRORJ\�WR�PDNH�PRYLHV�more realistic, scary movies today compared to other decades are the scariest.
A lot of the scary movies today we see are paranormal movies about de-
mons, ghosts or unusual activity created by someone from the dead. During
the 1980s and ‘90s, scary movies involving murders by unusual entities like
Jason, Freddy and Chucky. Since technology has changed a lot, we have hit
what I like to call, “the paranormal era.” Can you imagine Paranormal Activ-
ity during the ‘80s? Probably not, it wouldn’t be successful.
But we’re in 2015, and there are a lot of scary movies coming out onto the
big screen. The real question is, which ones will be worth your time to go see?
Here is a top 5 most anticipated horror movies coming out in theatres in 2015.
#5 Lazarus Effect: This movie peeked my interest from the trailer. What
some of you may not know, the word Lazarus means to bring back to
life. If you are a big Batman fan, the villain Ra’s Al Ghul
brings himself to life by throwing himself in a Lazarus
pit, but the pit has an effect that makes him insane.

LQ�LW��2I�FRXUVH��LI�KH�DJUHHG�WR�WKH�ÀOP��LW�PXVW�EH�worth watching.
#4 Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension: This is the sixth Paranormal
$FWLYLW\�ÀOP��VR�LI�\RX�OLNHG�WKH�RWKHU�RQHV��WKLV�ZLOO�EH�D�JRRG�one to see. It’s a big franchise, and it seems to do well
HYHU\�\HDU��7KLV�PDNHV�LW�WR�WKH�WRS�ÀYH�OLVW�EHFDXVH�LW·V�a horror classic of our generation. In 20 years, Para-
normal Activity will be the new Jason and Freddy
movies to our children.
#3 Unfriended: This is an interesting concept of
horror that we have not seen yet, which makes this
ÀOP�VWDQG�RXW��,W·V�DERXW�D�JLUO�ZKR�NLOOV�KHUVHOI��DQG�shows everyone her suicide online. Her friends post
it to the world. Unexpectedly, the girl who killed her-
self shows up in a chat room and tortures her friends for
posting her video to the world and back-stabbing her. This
makes it to the list because it’s creative, and takes issues with social media to
extreme measure.

different family, so we’ll get a fresh new story that will eventually connect to
the others.
���6LQLVWHU����7KLV�ÀOP�PDNHV�LW�DV�QXPEHU�RQH�EHFDXVH�LWV�SUHGHFHVVRU�ended pretty closed off. It’s not wide open, so I have no clue what could hap-
pen in the second one. Maybe there will be a new family that will continue the
chain of murders after the family we saw at the end. Who knows? All I know
is it’s going to be sinister!

Mat Kearney, singer, songwriter from Eugene, Oregon
releases an absolutely stellar album February 24th that
has potential to be one of the best albums we have to hear
in 2015.
Granted, we are only two months into the year and we
VWLOO�KDYH�D�ORW�RI�JUHDW�PXVLF�DKHDG�RI�XV��,�MXVW�FRXOGQ·W�ÀQG�better words to describe ‘Just Kids.’ A mix of alternative,
rock and hip hop, ‘Just Kids’ plays off a bunch of different
styles we’ve heard from artists like Macklemore and Bas-
tille only better.
$� UHODWLYHO\� VKRUW� DOEXP� WKH� ÀUVW� WUDFN� ¶+HDUWEUHDN�Dreamer’ says a lot about Mat’s character and his love for
his fans who have supported him through everything.
‘Just Kids’ continues on, as each track plays into each
RWKHU�ÁDZOHVVO\��7KH�HOHFWURQLF�EHDWV��LQWHUHVWLQJ�VDPSOHV�from genres like reggae, hip-hop and original guitar grooves
provides for an uplifting creative set of songs that I think
Mat really accomplished. Peaceful harmonies coming from
Mat on all ends of the voice spectrum prove his ability to
sing to any beat.
Some of my favorite songs were ‘Shasta’ and ‘Let It
Rain.’ I felt these songs connected with me the most be-
cause of how different they were compared to the rest of
WKH�DOEXP��+RZHYHU�HYHU\�VRQJ�KDV�D�FOHDU�PHDQLQJ�DQG�message to it. While it’s fun picking apart intricate albums,
that take time to decipher hidden messages left through-
out them. Sometimes it can get confusing. ‘Just Kids’ isn’t
confusing.
It’s easy to resonate with the deep meanings behind
these tracks and I like that. But it’s not all serious, this
album is fun and will be great to jam out to on a warm sum-
mer morning.
If you’re like me and haven’t heard about Mat Kearney
before I strongly recommend looking him and his music up.
Coming in as one of my new favorite albums of 2015, I can
not get enough of ‘Just Kids’ and am incredibly excited to
hear more from Mat Kearney as time goes on.
‘Just Kids’ is just great

The 87th Academy Awards ceremo-

ners used their acceptance speeches as
an opportunity to take a stand for so-
cial issues.
Among the memorable acceptance
speeches, Patricia Arquette, winner of
best supporting actress for her role in
Boyhood, talked about equal pay.
Arquette closed her speech with,
“To every woman who gave birth, to ev-
ery taxpayer and citizen of this nation,

equality once and for all and equal

LHU anime club takes KatsuconGrace UravicGuest [email protected]
LHU’s very own Anime Club had the pleasure of attending Katsucon, a three day convention held at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Cen-ter in National Harbor, Md. February 13-15.
This was their 21st year holding the conven-tion. People come from all over the east coast to co-splay, meet the guests, socialize with friends, shop and have an all-around good time.
Anime Conventions are similar to Comic-Cons when it comes to cosplaying (costume-role play-ing), buying merchandise and meeting celebrities LQ�WKDW�ÀHOG��
But instead of the focus being on American comic books, movies and TV shows, anime conven-tions concentrate on mainly Japanese animated shows and video games.
Popular examples include Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Pokémon, Naruto and many more.
Club member Audrey Wawrynovic, a freshman early childhood education major, uses her love for cosplaying to connect with her friends at anime conventions, “It’s so wonderful to be in such a posi-
tive atmosphere, where everyone enjoys the same things as you do,” she said. “Everyone, including myself, dresses up as their favorite character - it just makes it all the more fun!”
Club members were able to cut loose and en-joy themselves at the convention. It’s the one place where people who like anime, video games and oth-er nerd culture don’t feel like a minority.
Some met English dub voice actors, sat in on panels, watched anime, shopped for merchandise and artwork, and some just went to meet up with longtime friends that were only accessible online.
Cosplaying is a major factor in the world of an-ime conventions, where almost the majority of the attendees dress up as an anime or video game char-acter, and this con was no exception.
Wawrynovic explained what drew her to co-splaying, “It’s a way of expressing my enjoyment of a series or character, the hobby is really hands on which I love.”
Like many anime conventions, Katsucon offers panels on Japanese culture education panels and workshops. You can learn Japanese history, lan-guage and culture from experts.
“Despite all the bumps in the road, all the trou-bles and woes, we made it there and back again. We
did something that we thought was going to inevi-tably fail,” club president Dylan Freemire, a junior business and psychology double major said. “But we went, we had fun, and returned safely. It was RXU�ÀUVW�WULS��EXW�LW�FHUWDLQO\�ZRQ·W�EH�RXU�ODVW��/LIH��after all, is about the journey.”

If you’re looking for a quick but entertaining read, then check out “The Mermaid’s Sister” which will be released on March 1, 2015.
The book was named Amazon.com’s 2014 Breakthrough Novel Award in the Young Adult Fiction category and is written by William-sport resident, Carrie Anne Noble. I was able to read it prior to the release date thanks to Kindle First and never regretted picking it up.
The story is about Clara, a teen-ager in the 1870s who lives with her adopted family in the Pennsylvania mountains. Though it is set in our state, it is a world where magic is hid-den in nature and individuals.
When Clara’s sister Maren be-gins to turn into a mermaid, the girl knows she must return her sister to
the sea and possibly lose her forever. With their childhood friend
O’Neill, the sisters leave their home IRU� WKH� ÀUVW� WLPH� DQG� GHDO� ZLWK� WKH�perils of trying to travel with a mer-maid.

However, every detail is threaded through the story and returns to play an important part later on. It isn’t un-til Clara, Maren and O’Neill leave the mountain that things begin to move IDVWHU�DQG�WKH�UHDGHU� LV�HDJHUO\�ÁLS-ping through the pages.
Though there is no main antago-nist, Noble makes up for it by creating stumbling blocks that make the read-er wonder how the heroes will make it out alive. Their biggest adversary is time as they rush to return Maren to the saltwater her body desperately needs. But the twists will leave you guessing at the end of every chapter.
The main character, Clara, expe-
riences the most growth as she moves from a reserved and cautious indi-vidual to somebody who isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and her loved ones.
Part of her struggle is her deci-sion to surrender her sister to the sea RU�ÀJKW� WR�NHHS�KHU�DW�KHU�VLGH��6KH�learns that sometimes, it’s okay to SXW�\RXUVHOI�ÀUVW��+HU�IULHQG�2·1HLOO��who is an outgoing and passionate boy, gets taught that there are times when situations don’t go as planned.

Other secondary characters have their own rich backstories and they act in ways that will make the read-ers react emotionally. Characters like Auntie, a wise old woman who raised
Clara and Maren, and Scarff, a jolly peddler, will make readers smile with their sharp humor and loving behav-ior.
One of the main themes of the novel is that family, whether by blood RU� FKRLFH�� FRPHV� ÀUVW�� 7KRXJK� WKH\�are often at odds with each other, it is obvious that Clara and Maren love each other and would do anything for one another.
Since the story is written directly from Clara’s viewpoint, the reader OHDUQV� DV� VKH� GRHV�� 7KH� ÀUVW� SHUVRQ�point of view is initially hard to get LQWR�DW�ÀUVW��EXW�LW�HYHQWXDOO\�HQKDQF-es the experience.

Being inside in the winter can he very boring.
Here are 5 classic board games to keep you and
your roommates or family occupied.
1. Clue The classic game of whodunit. This can be fun
to play with your roommates. The speculation is
half of the fun.
This game is for 2-6 players.
2. MonopolyAlthough it can be the longest game in the
whole entire world, you can always take a break
and come back. Money is always fun right?
This game is for 2-8 players.
3. JengaBe careful where the next block is taken from
or the whole tower could fall. The best part is the
anticipation of waiting for the blocks to fall.
This game is for 2 or more players.
4. Sorry This fun game gives you some power in send-
ing your opponent to home. This game is good if
you just want to relax.
This game is for 2-4 players
5. TwisterA fun way to get everyone involved. With as
close as this game makes you it can get awkward.
This game is for 2 or more people.
So don’t forget the old classics you played as a
kid when you need something fun to do inside.

Club Name: College Republicans
Club President: Bill Whale ([email protected])
Club Adviser: Dr. Valerio ([email protected])
Club meetings: Every other Monday, Raub 223 at 7 P.M. Next meeting will
be held on Feb. 16.
About College Republicans: The club meets to discuss current events
and politics using an objective point of view. Discussions on current politi-
cal issues include both republican and democratic points of view. The group
chooses a topic for each meeting.
Speakers are invited to come talk to the group about their jobs in politics
and their views and current issues. Recent speakers include U.S. Congress-
man Glenn Thompson, Clinton County Republican Party Chairman Kurt
Smith, Clinton County Commissioner Jeffrey Snyder and Local Businessman
Micah Clausen.
“CPAC was so much fun last year and I can’t wait to go this year and see
speakers like Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum, Rand Paul and
many more!” – Lauren Balabon
The club currently has 10 active mem-
bers and are always looking for more
members to come join the discus-
sions.
“We are open to any-
one who is interested in
politics and would like to
come and discuss their
opinions with us. Al-
though we are college
republicans, we are
open to democrats,
libertarians, and
independents too!
There is no college
democrats, so why
not come talk with
us. We are not strictly
conservative and we
are open-minded,” said
Cooped up with the classics

Everyone has noticed that this winter has been worse than the past few
years. It’s a constant topic in most households but next year will be better
right? Not likely, according to both NASA and NOAA. Our current winter
conditions are going to continue for the next following winters and will get
far worse if don’t do something to slow down the warming of the polar ice-
caps.
,W�LV�GLIÀFXOW�WR�H[SODLQ�VLPSO\�EHFDXVH�WKHUH�DUH�KXQGUHGV�RI�IDFWRUV�WKDW�go into our weather patterns. The two big ones, the polar vortex and the jet
stream, are nowhere near where they have been in past years. The polar vor-
tex is actually the air around the polar caps and pushes cold air down. The
polar jet stream, the one we are concerned with in North America, pushes
air east to west. As the ice caps melt and the air warms up much faster there
than anywhere else. This is bad because it means that the temperature dif-
ferences that drive the polar jet stream are getting closer together. As the
temperatures get closer together, it causes the east to west air to become
weaker and the north south currents to strengthen.
So what does all this mean for us? It means that the north south cur-
rents are stronger and the west coast will experience longer hot seasons with
record droughts and the east coast longer cold seasons with record lows in
temperature and snowfall. This isn’t something that can be reversed. It is
also something that can’t be proved. There are hundreds of factors that go
into determining what the weather will be and we can’t predict them all.
What we can do is look at the evidence and predict what is most likely to
happen. Even though, if this pattern holds, we can’t reverse it, we can stop
it from getting worse. We have lost 60% of polar sea ice in the past 30 years.
This is what we need to focus on stopping if we hope to stabilize the climate
before it gets worse.

This past week of college basket-ball began with a bang, especially in the ACC.
Unranked Syracuse defeated then No. 12 Louisville at the Carrier Dome 69-59 on Wednesday night. Syracuse, facing a self-imposed postseason ban this season, showed how they can be a very tough opponent. Rakeem Christ-mas scored 29 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Orange.
Later that night, we saw another instant classic in the storied Duke-North Carolina rivalry. The No. 4 Blue Devils overcame an 11 point sec-RQG� KDOI� GHÀFLW� WR� GHIHDW� WKH� 1R�� ���Tar Heels 92-90 in overtime at Cam-eron Indoor Stadium.

The Blue Devils got 22 points from freshman point guard, Tyus Jones, who completely took over down the stretch. Jones added seven rebounds and eight assists. Duke also got 22
points from senior guard Quinn Cook.Duke would take on Clemson on
Saturday at home, but were without star freshman center, Jahlil Okafor, who sprained his ankle in the win over North Carolina. Cook tied a career high 27 points and freshman, Justise Winslow, scored 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in the 78-56 win.
No. 1 and unbeaten Kentucky scored 110 points in a 110-75 rout of Auburn at the Rupp Arena on Satur-day. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 19 points and had 10 rebounds for the Wildcats. Aaron Harrison chipped in 18 for Kentucky.
