LHU campus, while predominantly white, does have several minorities who make up only a small fraction of the population. Black and Hispanic stu-dents are a larger percentage, but there are other ethnicities to take into consideration.
This group includes those of Asian, Native Amer-LFDQ��1DWLYH�+DZDLLDQ�3DFLÀF�,VODQGHU�RU�PL[HG�GHVFHQW��,W�LV�DOVR�QRQ�UHVLGHQWLDO�aliens and ethnicities that aren’t standard RQ�DGPLVVLRQ�IRUPV��,Q�WKH������HGLWLRQ�RI�WKH�,QVWLWXWLRQDO�5HVHDUFK�5HSRUW��WKLV�FRPELQHG�JURXS�RI�����VWXGHQWV�PDNHV�XS������percent of LHU’s campus diversity, which is up IURP�����·V������SHUFHQW�
Much of the increase comes from a large intake of students who are labeled as ‘other/unknown’ ethnicity on the forms or who identify as biracial.
Some of the ethnicities listed only have a small representation on campus, like those who identify as 1DWLYH�$PHULFDQ�RU�1DWLYH�+DZDLLDQ�3DFLÀF�,VODQG-er.
“There isn’t a great deal of diversity here but the school succeeds at offering courses that appeal to a diverse student body. The faculty allows and encour-ages demonstrations of diversity,” said Lona Middle-WRQ��D�MXQLRU�ZKR�LV�PDMRULQJ�LQ�(QJOLVK�DQG�LGHQWLÀHV�

One way to encourage diversity is to encourage the students to participate as well. Many students are welcome and open to different cultures, but there are some who aren’t.

The LHU Special Education Department visited parts of the Domin-ican Republic from Jan. 6 through 16 for the sec-ond year in a row. Special education department chair Jane Penman, Ph. D., has organized the trip both years and agrees that the students took a lot from the three credit study abroad course.
“This year, I believe that the LHU students were able to make stronger connec-tions with one community, Mendoza, and more fully understand the Dominican culture,” she said.
“The trip gave all 20 LHU students hands on ex-perience teaching children, even though none of us were ÁXHQW�LQ�6SDQLVK��:H�WDXJKW�at two different schools.”
At one school, we taught them English on subjects such as numbers, body parts,
even our own hometowns. The second school we orga-nized a science fair in groups of two. They learned science lessons, such as weath-er, temperature, climate change, tornadoes, etc. The children were very energetic, affectionate, and kind to us. :H�HYHQ�SDLQWHG�WZR�PXUDOV�nearby these schools!
:H�PDQDJHG�WR�JLYH�back to the poor commu-nities in areas such as the small town we stayed in, Mendoza, and a remote vil-lage up in a mountain, Nara-jito. In Mendoza and Nara-jito, we did a food outreach giving out bags of basic food essentials for various fami-lies. Also in Mendoza we did a Medical Outreach where the people were given free check ups and medication. The children were given dental check-ups, medicine, a toothbrush and toothpaste. :H�VHUYLFHG�PRUH�WKDQ�����citizens of Mendoza with our Medical Outreach and gave away a total of more than 200 food bags.
Before we did that, we hosted a small carnival at their local playground. :H�KDG�ÀHOG�JDPHV��IDFH�painting, arts and crafts, and even a clown to make balloon animals!
Later we visited a group RI�VSHFLDO�QHHGV�DGXOWV��:H�reproduced the carnival we put on for the children of Mendoza and hung out with them for an evening, danc-ing and singing as well.

Once it was time to go, many tears were shed by many of us, not wanting to leave this lovely country. The people that helped us along our journey were nothing but kind to us, and
treated us like their own. Abigail Frisch, a junior
mid-level education major, felt that same sentiment.
“From my experience in the Dominican Republic, I learned how much people should cherish one another. I learned to treat everyone like family and be there when people need help or an ear to listen,” Frisch said. “The overall trip was such an eye opening experience to the culture, lifestyle, and love that each and everyone of the Dominican people possessed. I will truly miss the beautiful people and this once in a lifetime experi-ence.”
They were so grateful to everything we gave them. Nora Simcox, a senior early childhood and special educa-tion major, experienced that ÀUVW�KDQG�DV�ZHOO�ZKLOH�VKH�was on the trip.
´:H�ZHUH�LQ�D�FRXQWU\�where the majority of people had practically nothing and, yet, everyone was so happy and kind and willing
to give whatever they had,” she said. “I will never forget playing baseball with the local kids across the street. :H�XVHG�D�EURNHQ�EURRP�stick as a bat and pieces of paper and scraps of garbage as bases. It was so simple and still the most fun I’ve ever had.”

With the Fifty Shades of Grey release this past Friday, women ev-erywhere have been in a daze over the main character, Christian Grey. 2Q�-XO\����������WKH�RIÀFLDO�PRYLH�trailer was released and the excite-ment has been mounting ever since. With it’s release on Valentine’s Day weekend, there is no surprise WKDW�WKLV�ÀOP�UDNHG�LQ�$94.4 million, beat-ing out the previous record of Valentine’s Day.
Christian Grey, portrayed by Jamie Dornan, plays a young business mag-nate in the books and movie. Grey is the type of man that every woman wants to be with, in my opinion. Dornan ORRNV�WKH�SDUW�DQG�GHÀQLWHO\�KDV�ladies talking about the steamy scenes in the movie.
Dakota Johnson was chosen to play the role of Anastasia Steele, who plays a college graduate who is currently writ-ing articles about the infamous Christian Grey. I believe that she was D�JRRG�ÀW�for this role because she is portrayed in the books as someone who is innocent and sweet. Sam Taylor-Johnson,
the director of Fifty Shades of Grey helped keep these important char-acteristics of Anastasia.
Fans have expressed their disappointments in regards to some scenes from the book that were not in the movie, but despite this fact it captures the sexual essence E. L. James, author of the trilogy, was trying to get across.
People who have seen the movie already want to see it again.
Rebecca Mann said, “It was one
of the
best movies HYHU��WKH�H[FLWHPHQW�ZDV�GHÀQLWHO\�worth it. I am even going to see it again with friends.”
The hype of this release has GHÀQLWHO\�OLYHG�XS�WR�WKH�H[SHFWD-tions of the viewers. Another mov-iegoer Meredith Fay said, “I was VNHSWLFDO�DERXW�VHHLQJ�LW�DW�ÀUVW��EXW�LW�GHÀQLWHO\�H[FHHGHG�P\�expectations.”
With this type of reac-tion, producers were smart to make sure this movie lived up to all of the expectations. The only thing that fans are
still waiting for after this PRYLH�LV�ÀQGLQJ�RXW�ZKHQ�WKH�
sequel Fifty Shades Darker will come out.
Sam ShirkStaff [email protected]
The long awaited Fifty Shades of Grey hit theaters on February ��WK�DQG�IDQV�ÁRFNHG�WR�WKH�WKH-aters to see it. According to imdb, it’s currently ranked in the box RIÀFHV�DW�DERXW����PLOOLRQ��6RXQGV�like a pretty good movie then, right? I think not.
We live in a world that is currently sex-obsessed. Sex is everywhere in media at the cur-rent moment, it’s in everything we watch and everything we listen to. It’s also being heavily used to sell products. Fifty Shades of Grey only adds to this obsession.
,I�,�KDG�WR�FODVVLI\�WKLV�ÀOP�DV�anything, I’d classify it as a bad porno. The idea behind the movie may be an interesting concept but it’s also morally wrong. The story is about a college senior named Anastasia Steele hooking up with a billionaire named Christian Grey. While their ages are close, the area where it’s morally wrong is the fact that it takes the idea of mix-ing business with pleasure to the extreme.
Don’t get me wrong, I like a good romance story as much as the next person but when you write about a relationship revolving around nothing but sex, it gets to be a bit much. Christian even admits to not wanting a romantic relationship with Ana! He comes up with a CONTRACT stating that fact, that whole exchange just blows my mind!!
Another thing that bugs me is that, despite the sex scenes not
even being written well and being far too extreme, people love it. And what also sickens me is the fact that people are going nuts over something which is almost as low as pornography. Almost everyone looks down on something as dirty as that so why is Fifty Shades ac-ceptable?
A major thing that bothers me as well, is I feel this book shows a weak female character. I feel like this character is extremely submis-sive and lets Christian do whatever he wants. I know that’s the whole point of the relationship but I feel it’s over the top. I feel like Chris-tian sends her a bunch of gifts and then wins her over and I’m not even fully sure Ana fully enjoys what she’s doing with Christian, it sure doesn’t seem like it. One of the scenes that really bothers me is when Ana feels her and Christian are not compatible and she’s devas-tated over it! I feel like screaming “Get over yourself woman, have some more decency then that.”
This movie (or book) treats sex like it’s nothing and it shouldn’t be like that. This shouldn’t be accept-able and to me it’s a huge embar-rassment in our society. We have to stop letting stuff like
this get pub-lished. There’s
plenty of other amaz-ing movies and books out there to choose from,
especially in the romance
category!

‘If you’re reading this it’s too late.’ That’s all the album
(or mixtape) said on the cover of Drake’s latest music that
dropped midnight randomly last Thursday. Interestingly
enough this came at a rather curious time.
With all of the drama surrounding Lil Wayne and
Cash Money this raises a lot of questions. According to
Pitchfork.com, “on a random December afternoon when
Wayne gave a curt Twitter update on his long-gestating
Tha Carter V album, blaming Birdman and Cash Money
for the holdup and demanding an exit from the label he’s
called home most of his life.
He’s since initiated an audacious $51 million lawsuit
requesting not only his own exit but that of Drake and
Nicki Minaj as well.”
This puts a whole new spin on this album. People
aren’t really sure if this whole thing is just one shot at
%LUGPDQ�DQG�D�ÀQDO�KXUUDK� IRU�'UDNH�DQG�&DVK�0RQH\�but this lawsuit is happening and that means either two
things are going to happen. Either Birdman and Lil Wayne
will come to an agreement, or Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki
are all going to leave. This could be the start of a brand
new record label.
However, with all that being said the more important
part is the music behind the drama. I think we’re start-
ing to see the transformation of someone who isn’t going
to be making music like he previously has. While much of
WKH�DOEXP�VHHPV�WR�KDYH�WKH�VDPH�ÁRZ�DV�VRQJV�OLNH�¶��WR�100’ and even the same sound as music artists like Future
would put out.
For a hot minute, I thought I was listening to Future,
than I remembered oh yeah this is Drake. Weird. I’m not
sure if whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but you

Saturday Night Live just celebrated its 40 year anniversary this last Sunday. A few days before the historic 40th anniversary episode a digital app was launched containing 5,500 clips over the 40 seasons.
The app is interesting because it will adapt to what you want to see. It will ask you to pick favorite characters, or even your favorite time periods. After a while the app will learn what kind of comedy you want to be watching using an algorithm and will have your favorite sketches ready for you.
The app also features behind the scenes clips of hosts and cast members of the show.
The new NBC app is also trying to keep the adds down between clips. The time between ads is based on how long of clips the person watches, not by how many videos they watch. “People will get a new video ad roughly ev-ery six minutes,” said Rob Hayes executive Vice President of media at NBC. $QKHXVHU�%XVK�LV�WKH�DSSV�RIÀFLDO�VSRQVRU��
The app also comes with a emoji keyboard where you can get emojis of your favorite SNL characters.
The SNL app is only available for iPads and iPhones in the Apple App Store at this time, but there is an Android version in the works.
If you are a Saturday Night Live fan this app is great. You can watch your favorite characters or even check out new sketches you haven’t seen. More videos will continue to be added for one great comedy experience. Be sure to check it out! Photo Courtesy of www.product-reviews.net

The Perfect Popcorn simplyrecipies.com
INGREDIENTS3 Tbsp coconut, peanut, or canola oil (high smoke point oil)1/3 cup of high quality popcorn kernels1 3-quart covered saucepan1 Tbsp or more (to taste) of butter (optional)Salt to taste
1: Heat the oil in a 3-quart saucepan on medium high heat. If you are using coconut oil, allow all of the solid oil to melt.2: Put 3 or 4 popcorn kernels into the oil and cover the pan.3: When the kernels pop, add the rest of the 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels in an even layer. Cover, remove from heat and count 30 seconds. (Count out loud; it’s IXQ�WR�GR�ZLWK�NLGV���7KLV�PHWKRG�ÀUVW�KHDWV�WKH�RLO�WR�WKH�ULJKW�WHPSHUDWXUH��then waiting 30 seconds brings all of the other kernels to a near-popping tem-perature so that when they are put back on the heat, they all pop at about the same time.4:Return the pan to the heat. The popcorn should begin popping soon, and all at once. Once the popping starts in earnest, gently shake the pan by moving it back and forth over the burner.Try to keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam from the popcorn release (the popcorn will be drier and crisper).Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid, and dump the popcorn immediately into a wide bowl.With this technique, nearly all of the kernels pop, and nothing burns.5: If you are adding butter, you can easily melt it by placing the butter in the now empty, but hot pan. Note that if you let the butter get just a little bit EURZQ��LW�ZLOO�DGG�DQ�HYHQ�PRUH�LQWHQVH��EXWWHU\�ÁDYRU�WR�WKH�EXWWHU�DQG�WR�\RXU�popcorn. (Here’s more info on how to brown butter.) Just drizzle the melted but-ter over the popcorn and toss to distribute.Salt to taste.

For the past week, I’ve been drowning in a sea of
tissues and medicine cups.
I’m no stranger to sickness. Growing up
with parents who both have an autoimmune dis-
order, I thought it was normal for people to get so
sick every winter that they’d wind up bedridden or
LQ�WKH�KRVSLWDO��,�P\VHOI�KDG�SQHXPRQLD�ÀYH�WLPHV�before I even turned 11.
And it didn’t stop there. I started getting
WKH�ÁX�HYHU\�ZLQWHU�LQ�PLGGOH�VFKRRO�DQG�UXQQLQJ�fevers so high that I hallucinated. My mom would
get up every few hours to take my temperature
and make sure I got a dose of Ibuprofen or Tylenol,
whichever’s turn it was since I needed both to keep
my fever low enough not to, well kill me, frankly.
Since I was about 14 years old, I’ve had
a better handle on my health. Mostly, at least. Be-
tween learning to change my eating and sleeping
habits and trying to manage my stress better, I’ve
been able to conquer most winters with little more
than a head cold. Still, in the last decade, a season
or two has gotten away from me. This year has been
one of those years, in a bigger way than ever before.
Given my checkered medical history, I’m
pretty used to dealing with the complications and
consequences of being sick. Not only do I know how
to keep my fever below 104 degrees, but I know how
to play catch-up with my school work.
K-12 playing make-up with school work
was simply a matter of communicating with teach-
ers—something my parents were legally tasked
with—and producing a note from a doctor. The two
elements together unlocked the gates to the king-
dom of take-home work. While my peers labored
KHDOWKLO\� XQGHU� ÁXRUHVFHQW� OLJKWV�� ,� ODLG� RQ� P\�mom’s couch at home and tackled the same work,
and took home the same above-average grades as
usual.
The process isn’t so simple in college. I
now pay for every single class that I take and I’m a
JURZQ�DGXOW��\HW�VXGGHQO\�IRU�WKH�ÀUVW�WLPH�LQ�P\�OLIH�,·P�LQ�D�SRVLWLRQ�RI�FDWFKLQJ�ÁDN�IRU�RU�ORVLQJ�D�percentage of my grade because of missing school
when I’m sick.
Don’t get me wrong; there are a lot of
professors here on campus who, formal attendance
policy or not, will be accommodating and compas-
sionate human beings if you just communicate with
them. However, there are just as many (if not more)
who seem to get some sick satisfaction from holding
fast to tyrannical tenants of attendance that leave
no room for people like me who can’t always be in
class but who could get the work done just as well
anyways with a little accommodation in the form of
some understanding.
I know there are a lot of students who
lie and take advantage of kind teachers. But in my
mind, if a student can produce adequate work and
demonstrate a working knowledge of the material
without being in class, it shouldn’t generally mat-
ter that they’re not there or why anyway (there are
exceptions, times when I think attendance is im-
perative, but that’s less often than more).
In any case, the demand for physical attendance
by professors is hurting students whose circum-
stances make a traditional educational experience
impossible. Attendance is a really important and
EHQHÀFLDO�SDUW�RI�WKH�OHDUQLQJ�SURFHVV��EXW�LW� LVQ·W�inherently essential.
Students shouldn’t be hindered from succeeding
and earning the same good grades as their peers
Sick of attendance policies

In the movie “He’s Just Not That into You,” one of the female characters
states, “A wise person once told me that if a guy wants to be with a girl, he will
make it happen, no matter what.”
This got me thinking. What I’d like to know is if this is the case then why and
how do people still choose the wrong person?
Repeatedly, year after year, we go after people who don’t actually care, peo-
ple who don’t reciprocate our love. We choose the people we think we deserve.
We choose bad people because we think we deserve bad people. We choose
people who won’t love us with the passion and desire we have for them because
we think we deserve pain.
It’s hard to believe that our friends and family members go around picking
people who treat them horribly, but this happens every day. We want so badly
to snap them back to reality and to make them see that they have so much
more going for them.
Sometimes we even want to prove to them that we are the better choice. We
have always been there and will always be there to pick up the pieces when
anything goes wrong. Through all the happy, sad and frustrating times, we are
the ones who have their backs and catch them when they fall.
Sadly, life doesn’t work this way. They probably won’t notice the person who
has been there all along because, let’s be real, this isn’t a movie. People don’t
realize what their true worth is.
However, I like to believe that this still can happen sometimes. If someone
realizes they could have better than that person gets to be so much happier
and better off. They might even start noticing good in themselves and others
that they never did before.
It doesn’t matter how long it takes a person to realize it. It only matters that
they do eventually realize the value placed on them by the people who actually
care, one hundred percent.
That’s the funny thing about us humans. We let so much hurt us that we
never stop to notice the things that, let alone the people who make us happy.
These people could make all the difference in our lives, but in the end we ac-
cept only as much love as we think we deserve.
So yes a wise person might have said that if a guy wants a girl it will happen,
but if we look around, too many people—male and female—are choosing the
wrong person, making it hard for the right one to be seen.
Forget about who you think you deserve because most likely you think you
deserve worse than you actually do. Instead, try looking at who you already
have.

The Lock Haven University wom-
en’s basketball team pulled away late
from Millersville Saturday at Thomas
Fieldhouse.
Rachael McDaniel scored 11
points to lead the Bald Eagles (9-14,
8-11 PSAC) to a 63-59 win. Lock Ha-
ven has won two in a row.
The game was tied at 55 with 2:33

Lane scored on a layup to give Lock
Haven a 57-55 lead. McDaniel then
connected on a three pointer nearly a
minute later to put Lock Haven up by

throws on their next possession to cut
it to four, but Loren Kaiser hit a pair
of free throws 20 seconds later for the
Bald Eagles to push the lead to six.
Millersville added a late layup to
cut it to four, but that is as close as
the game would get.
Emily Daugherty scored 10 points
and had four rebounds for Lock Ha-
ven, who had a very balanced scoring
attack.
Alayah Hall led Millersville with
13 points and Aunjel van Brakle
chipped in 12.
Lock Haven outscored Millersville
30-22 in the paint, and had a one point
advantage in points off turnovers.
The game saw a weakness in free
throw shooting for both teams, as
Millersville hit just 17-34 and Lock
Haven only hit 17-35.

ven’s athletic website, Allen said, “I’m
leaving to pursue other opportunities. I
want to thank everyone at Lock Haven
University and the Lock Haven commu-
nity for their support over the past four
years.”
In his third season, Allen helped
the program eliminate some dreadful
distinctions. The team went 3-8 in 2013
which was the most wins for the team
since 2004. In week eight of that same
season, Allen led Lock Haven to a road
victory over Millersville which snapped a
30-game road losing streak which dated
back to 2007. That same season saw the
team get off to a 2-1 start, which marked
WKH�ÀUVW�WLPH�WKH\�KDG�EDFN�WR�EDFN�ZLQV�since 2002. With their week 3 victory in
2013, Allen and his team earned three
VWUDLJKW� KRPH� ZLQV� IRU� WKH� ÀUVW� WLPH�since 2002 as well.
Allen’s career record at LHU was
6-37 (.140 winning percentage).
Lock Haven has said that, “A search
committee is being assembled and a na-
tional search for LHU’s next head foot-
ball coach will begin immediately.”
There was no conversation publicly
about Allen’s resignation nor where he
intends to take his career from here. The
resignation comes as a surprise because
the team announced their summer camp
dates on LHU athletic’s website on Feb
10. In the release, it said, “The camp will
be directed by head coach John Allen.”

The Lock Haven University lacrosse team reached the Division II cham-
pionship game last season and ultimately fell short of their goal as they were
defeated 7-5 by Adelphi University, but this upcoming season brings renewed
hopes of hoisting that trophy at the end of the season.
Head Coach Kristen Selvage, the coach with the most wins in Lock Ha-
ven lacrosse history, enters her twelfth season at the helm. Her team has al-
ready received numerous preseason awards from various organizations. They

In a highly anticipated matchup of two nation-

top, much to the delight of a boisterous home crowd.
Garcia knocked off Morrison 5-3, thanks to a third-
period takedown.
Earlier today, the NCAA released its second
edition of the Division I Coaches’ Panel Rankings

ranked No. 25.

Bald Eagles in the lead, 16-15. Leading 2-0 after

extra time. Tied 1-1 after seven minutes, the two
went to sudden victory, marking the fourth time on
the night, regulation-time wasn’t enough to decide
the outcome of a bout. During the 30-second tie-
breaker-1 period, Velasco scored a reversal and took
a 3-1 lead. Emerick earned an escape quickly dur-
ing tiebreaker-2 and made several good shots in on
Velasco, but couldn’t score and Velasco won 3-2.
