PIRO Honors the Paranormal

WEST HAVEN— During a week filled with ghouls, witches, and hauntings, PIRO launched its annual Paranormal Awareness Week, filled with informa-tion, prizes, and fun for those interested in Hallow-een traditions.

Three years ago, Para-normal Awareness Week was started as an infor-mational poster session to inform the student body of the many aspects of the Paranormal Investigation and Research Organization here on campus, including but not limited to were-wolves, vampires, and the supernatural. The event

took place in March while the annual costume con-test and ball was held near Halloween. But last year, a new E-board decided to move the festivities to the week of Halloween, start-ing an ever popular event here at the University of New Haven.

Students were given the opportunity to try their luck at a scavenger hunt where pieces of a scarecrow were placed around campus. Once found, the scarecrow could be reassembled and artistically stylized for judging at the Paranormal Awareness Week Harvest Party. The Harvest Party was a great time to eat food, play games, and take part in seasonal traditions. The appropriately-themed

Halloween prizes included Target gift cards, hot cocoa mix, fleece blankets, and lots of candy.

Paranormal Awareness Week also gave students the opportunity to attend

ing tarot cards or runes, Students celebrate Halloween at the Costume Ball on Friday, Nov. 2.

Hollywood Writers Go On StrikeBy GARY GENTILEASSOCIATED PRESS

–––––––––––––––––––––

LOS ANGELES— Film and TV writers resolved to put down their pens and take up picket signs after

last-ditch talks failed to avert a strike.

The first picket lines were set to appear Mon-day morning at Rockefeller Center in New York, where NBC is headquartered.

In Los Angeles, writers

were planning to picket 14 studio locations in four-hour shifts from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day until a new deal is reached.

The contract between the 12,000-member Writers Guild of America and the

began this summer failed to produce much progress on the writers' key de-mands for a bigger slice of DVD profits and revenue from the distribution of films and TV shows over the Internet.

Writers and producers gathered for negotiations Sunday at the request of a federal mediator.

The two sides met for nearly 11 hours before East Coast members of the writers union announced on their Web site that the strike had begun for their 4,000 members.

Producers said writers refused a request to "stop the clock" on the planned strike while talks contin-ued.

Campus Events, Etc.The Charger Bulletin | November 7, 2007

I’ve noticed that a lot of trees have been planted lately, mostly around the area of the Recreation Center. I have to admit, the green-ery looks pretty nice. However, I do have to ask—isn’t November a little late to be planting trees? Shouldn’t this have been done a few months ago? Well, as long as the trees survive the winter I guess it’s okay.

Halloween was a blast. There were so many programs and events all throughout the week that made it a worthwhile expe-rience. Now we can look for-ward to our next big holiday—Thanksgiving!

If you have r e g i s t r a t i o n questions, there are tables set up in Bartels and sessions in each freshmen resi-dence hall.

The junk mail has been insane this semester. It all seems to have started during the summer—we never used to receive as much junk mail as we have been getting. Most of them are nonsensical, and some of them are a little funny. However, the thing that bothers me is that we are getting junk mail that originates from our own email addresses. How does that even happen?

Registration can be quite frus-trating, especially when most of the classes you need to take are all

at the same time. When the new scheduling started for

this semester, there didn’t seem to be any schedul-ing problems. H o w e v e r , i t seems as though there was lack of communica-tion this semes-ter and classes bunched up.

Governator in the Bath-ernatorSAN JOSE, Ca-lif.— Governor Ar-nold Schwarzenegger learned politics in his favorite place- a hot tub. Last week, Schwawrzenegger told business leaders how his wife Maria Shriver came to sup-port his 2003 guber-natorial bid.

“We were sitting in the Jacuzzi. I said, ‘Maria, here’s an idea. What do you think about this, me running for gover-nor?’ I said, ‘There’s a recall, there’s only a 2-month campaign. I think we can work our way through this two months and then I'm governor- isn't that great?'"

After the laugh-ter died down, S c h w a r z e n e g g e r turned solemn.

"In all seriousness, she had tears in her eyes. I had to work on her for 14 days," S c h w a r z e n e g g e r said. "That's where I learned to negotiate- bringing Democrats and Republicans to-gether right there in the Jacuzzi."

So think twice next time before you think Schwarzenegger is washed up.Woop! Woop! Flap-ping toiletODEBOLT, Iowa— You know those foot-controlled garbage can lids? 9-year-old Jake Wulf created a similar item that lifts, via foot activation, a toilet seat.

"My mom was get-ting mad at me for for-getting to put the toi-let seat down and she was falling in," said Jake, a fourth-grader at Odebolt-Arthur El-

ementary School.Mother Beth Wulf

suspected that some-one who saw the "Privy Prop" at the school fair where Jake spotlighted the inven-tion called the Ellen Degeneres show. Two weeks later, a produc-er called Jake and in-vited him and a parent to fly to Hollywood as part of a show featur-ing young inventors.

One thing is for sure, the Wulf family won't try to mass pro-duce it. When asked why, Jake said, "Be-cause Mom said.”Great God it’s the Great Wheel near the Great Wall!BEIJING— You've climbed the Great Wall of China, now Beijing wants you to "fly" the Great Wheel of China. Exciting!

The Beijing Great Wheel will tower 682

feet in the air when finished in 2009, mak-ing it the largest and highest in the world.

The giant ferris wheel is expected to have 48 air condi-tioned observation capsules, each carry-ing up to 40 passen-gers. On a good day, the Great Wall is ex-pected to be visible in the mountains to Bei-jing’s north.

The wheel will stand in eastern Bei-jing's Chaoyang Park, where beach volley-ball events will take place at next year's Olympics, and have far greater capacity than the London Eye, Matter said.

"[It] will cater for 40 people. It's like a little bus. It's 18 tonnes heavy. It's like your living room," he added.

Police in Pakistan clash with lawyers pro-testing against state of emergency ISLAMABAD, Pakistan— Legions of baton-wielding police clashed with lawyers to squash protests against President Gen. Pervez Mush-arraf on Monday, while international pressure mounted against the imposition of emergency powers that have led to more than 1,500 ar-rests.Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged Musharraf to follow through on past promises to "take off his uniform" and restore civilian rule.

"I want to be very clear. We believe that the best path for Pakistan is to quickly return to a constitutional path and then to hold elections," she said at a news conference in Ramallah, West Bank.

Musharraf suspended the constitution on Saturday ahead of a Supreme Court ruling that could have floored his re-election as president. He ousted independent-minded judges and granted sweeping powers to authorities to crush dissent, flinging Pakistan deeper into crisis.

Independent TV news networks remained off the air Monday. Police raided a printing press in Karachi belonging to Pakistan's larg-est media group, blocking publication of its Urdu-language evening newspaper, Awam, or People, Jang Group managing director Shah-rukh Hassan said from the scene.

Hassan said printing for Monday's evening paper was stopped, but negotiations were con-tinuing over whether the press could reopen for the group's Tuesday editions, including Paki-stan's largest-circulation daily, Jang.

The United States has said it is reviewing its aid to Pakistan, a key ally in fighting al-Qaida and Taliban militants that has received billions in assistance since Musharraf threw the Islamic nation's support behind the U.S.-led war on ter-ror after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Car crash victim shot by Southbury hom-eowner SOUTHBURY, Conn.— State police say a man is in serious condition after he crashed his car in Southbury and was shot when he stumbled into a nearby house.

State police say the man crashed his car down a steep river bank early Sunday then broke into a home on Berkshire Road shortly after the car crashed through a guardrail on River Road.

The homeowner, John Nagy, was awakened by a noise in his basement and armed with a handgun confronted the man, who he believed to be a burglar, and fired his gun.

Nagy fled his home and called state police who found the other man in Nagy's basement with the gunshot wound and other injuries.

HOUSTON— After a week and a half of intense and unprec-edented work, the as-tronauts aboard shuttle Discovery undocked from the international space station on Mon-day to begin their two-day journey home.

"Thank you guys for the module and all your help," space station Commander Peggy Whitson said as Discovery pulled away from the orbit-ing outpost.

Discovery's crew arrived at the sta-tion on Oct. 25 and quickly accomplished the ambitious tasks of moving a massive solar power tower and

installing the module, a school bus-sized compartment that will serve as a docking port for future labora-tories.

But their toughest assignment emerged when one of the new-ly installed tower's wings ripped in two places as it was being unfurled.

Fearing the damage could worsen and the wing could be ruined, NASA sent a space-walking astronaut far from the safety of the station to make emer-gency repairs on what amounted to a live electrical generator.

Saturday's history-making spacewalk has allowed the space agency to push for-ward with plans to launch the shuttle At-

lantis and its major cargo — a new Euro-pean lab — in Decem-ber.

Shortly after un-docking, the shuttle flew a full lap around the station, primar-ily so crew members could take pictures of the outpost's new con-figuration. Engineers were particularly in-terested in seeing how the newly mended so-lar wing was affected by the vibrations of undocking.

Computer prob-lems forced pilot George Zamka to nav-igate the loop without help from software that provides informa-tion about the shuttle's path. But Discovery commander Pamela Melroy and Mission Control said he did a

perfect job."We would never

know that he doesn't have the data. It looks great," Mission Con-trol said.

Astronaut Daniel Tani, who flew to the station aboard Discov-ery and will remain in orbit for two months, radioed the shuttle crew a last goodbye as they finished circling the outpost.

"I miss you al-ready," he said. "Fly safe. Get home safe. I'll see you on the ground."

"Yep, we'll see you on the ground," Mel-roy replied.

Discovery is sched-uled to land Wednes-day afternoon.

the Divination Faire was a great way to dabble in the para-normal while learn-ing about one of the more unique clubs on campus.

As always, Para-normal Awareness Week closed with the annual costume ball and contest in the German Club on Friday, Nov. 2. Win-ner of Best Costume was Jonathan Cascio

(Jack Sparrow) and was awarded a $10 gift card to Target. Congratulations to the winners of the raffle, costume contest, and to those who came out to celebrate the end of the Halloween sea-son!

PIRO plans to keep up the tradition of Paranormal Aware-ness Week with big-ger prizes, a more extensive scarecrow contest, and a more

extravagant Harvest Party. When next fall rolls around and its time to start think-ing about things that go bump in the night, remember to look out for the Paranor-mal Awareness Week events. They’re sure to give you plenty of memories and a new appreciation for the paranormal here on campus!

Special Guest Provides Extra Special Coffee Hour

WEST HAVEN— The College of Arts and Sciences and In-ternational Students Association added a memorable evening to the history of Uni-versity of New Ha-ven. The International Coffee Hour held on Thursday, Nov. 1 at the Seton Gallery in the lobby of Dodd’s Hall was unlike any other held before.

The College of Arts and Sciences opened the Papua New Guin-ea Art Collection to the public. The col-lection, which is open for viewing from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ev-ery day, was given to the University of New Haven by Phyllis and Fenmore Seton, art collectors and philan-thropists. The honor-able of Ambassador Robert Guba Aisi, the Permanent Represen-tative of Papua New Guinea to the United Nations, and Presi-dent Kaplan made this event a real success.

The event started with a welcome speech by Ron Nowaczyk, Dean of The College

of Arts and Sciences. President Kaplan gave the opening remarks, welcoming the chief guest.

In his message to the public, the ambas-sador thanked Presi-dent Kaplan for invit-ing him for the event. He also thanked all the staff and members of the International Cof-fee Hour and all those who helped in orga-nizing this event.

Speaking on the significance of United Nations Day, he talked about the global com-mitment of the United Nations in bringing peace, disarmament, non-proliferation, hu-man rights and reach-ing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). He reiter-ated the fact that the quest for peace can be achieved only if we work together. Con-tinuously confronted by a plethora of global challenges, the UN continues to provide the platform for glob-al discourse of every nature.

“I am now in my sixth year at the UN as Ambassador of my country and it short, it has been a very chal-lenging but wonderful

experience. In calling for global re-com-mitment to the UN, the secretary general Ban Ki-Moon rightly pointed out that we will be judged in the future on the actions we take,” Ambassa-dor Aisi stated, “Dis-tinguished friends, we can make tomorrow. But we must learn from our past and use it today to make tomorrow a better place for our future generations. This uni-versity has done that and through you, the current students, will continue to do so. To-day, I am honored to be part of the celebra-tion to open the Papua New Guinea exhibi-tion. The artifacts on display reflect a part of our history which we are not only proud of, but as a diverse nation of 6 million people with 800 plus languages, continue to learn from.”

The ambassador ended his speech by expressing his grati-tude to the generous couple who gave the Papua New Guinea artifacts to the univer-sity.

WEST HAVEN— At the University of New Haven, we make tomorrow– but we also have a past. And we have been making tomorrow since early in the 1900s. Starting as the New Haven Division of North-eastern University in 1920, then becoming independent as New Haven Preparatory School, New Haven YMCA Junior Col-lege, and New Haven College, it provided continuing educa-tion for professional advancement to men and women, in Busi-ness and Engineering fields. Catalogs from all these incarnations of our present institu-tion, from the earliest days, are available in the UNH Archives, located in your M.K. Peterson Library.

In them we find out, for example, that in 1936/37, tuition cost $20 per course, or $53 for three courses, and “the maximum cost for a

year, including tuition, books, materials, and laboratory fees should approximate $125.” By 1958, tuition was $250 per semester, with the addition of a $5 student activity fee and $12.50 “laborato-ry and breakage fee.” Some of the early catalogs also include pictures of students in classrooms and labo-ratories.

The listings of fac-ulty members and course descriptions show us who was teaching here when and for how long, and when a particu-lar course or program began to be offered. We have had requests from former students who were here 10 or 20 years ago, who need-ed the description of courses they took here at that time, perhaps to show an employer. We gladly provide them with photocopies from the catalog for the re-quested year.

Besides the college catalogs, the Archives contain reams of other UNH historical ma-terial, generated by the college/university

over the years: pub-lications by faculty and students, college yearbooks, photos of buildings, class-rooms, sports teams, faculty and staff, etc., programs and posters from events held on the campus, as well as articles about UNH clipped from the New Haven Register and other newspapers, and much more.

Items in the Ar-chives cannot be bor-rowed by students, but many can be viewed in the library if requested in advance, or we can provide photocopies of selected pictures or documents, if the ma-terial requested is not too extensive.

One item of spe-cial interest in the Ar-chives is the student newspaper, beginning with the New Haven YMCA Junior Col-lege News in 1928, through the New Ha-ven College News, to the present Charger Bulletin you are read-ing now. As you know, beginning this semes-ter this newspaper

Ryan Muldoon and Luke Saenz de Viteri perform during Acoustic Night.

Last Thursday night I traveled to Providence, Rhode Island with Becky Johnson, Dean of Students, and Marty O’Connor, Campus Minister. The trip was unfortunately not one in which we were expecting to take. We drove to Providence to attend the wake and funer-al services for Nate Crowell. Nate passed away tragically while playing hockey here in Connecticut. As I was told, hockey was a big part of his life and was something that he just simply loved.

Many students may not be aware, but I played hockey for a good part of my life. I started in the fourth grade playing on the local recreational league and continued

to play through high school. During high school, I played on the varsity team all four years and had the pleasure to serve as the team captain my senior year. Being a hockey player myself I felt like a part of me was lost when I heard the circumstances of his death.

During the service, Dr. Mario Gaboury, Director of the Crimi-nal Justice Program here at UNH, an-nounced that the uni-

versity will be award-ing Nate’s family with his degree at the graduation ceremony in January. Several other members of the UNH community spoke during the ser-vice and described him as a fun loving young man who loved every day.

I have sent a fruit basket on behalf of the student body to the Crowell family. I have also been in con-tact with Mike Sch-neider from Charger REC to see if there is something that we can do in the Becker-man Recreation Cen-ter for Nate.

As the university mourns the tragic death of Nate, please remember to keep him and his family in your hearts and prayers.

Campus Life AbroadGreetings from Luke Saenz de Viteri, abroad

at Roehampton UniversityThere is nothing

like finding a place like home when home is just about as far away as you can pos-sibly imagine. Fresh-men year is a trying time for all adoles-cents, and being an ocean away from your friends and family makes things all the more difficult, so find-ing someplace to feel welcome becomes imperative to one’s social survival.

The Belfry, home of the Digby Lions, and the perfectly con-cocted Snakebite has become my haven in my time here in Lon-don. The idea of a pub on a college campus within 100 yards of the dormitories certainly might seem a bit for-eign to us Americans, but here in England (and the rest of Eu-rope, really), it is the standard. The culture of college social life is universal, and it re-volves around having a good time.

At Roehampton University, the epicen-ter of the social scene is almost exclusively within the gates of the university. The pubs on campus are open until 11:30 everyday except for Saturday, and on any given day you are likely to see five or six of your

mates having a pint.Thursday nights are

big nights on campus as well as they alter-nate between acous-tic night (an event at which New Haven’s very own Luke Saenz de Viteri brought audi-ence members to tears with his rendition of Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here”) and band night at Barcode at Whitelands and the Belfry at Digby Stuart respectively.

Friday nights are always chaotic at Roehampton, because Friday night’s event is the Bop (think school dance meets dance club plus weekly themes to base your attire on), the weekly event at Froebel. With themes like Pirates and Wenches, S.H.A.G., 90s Night, and Toga Party, the Bop sells out every week with-out any exception.

Being a Music In-dustry major, I made it a point to check out the local music scene and some of the small up-and-coming dives in central London. Coming from New Jersey, I found myself excluded from playing or attending shows at certain nightclubs in-cluding the Saint and the Stone Pony in As-bury Park. London, however, offers many

more opportunities to the eighteen-year-old music enthusiast.

Having only been here for a week, I at-tempted an excursion into central London to see my friend’s band For Ramona at a night club called Metro. It took us quite some time to arrive, but when we got there we followed stairs down into the main room where we heard the band play-ing. The sound quali-ty was impressive for a medium-sized ven-ue, everyone in the crowd seemed to be enjoying themselves, the bar was big which meant a short wait for drinks, and after the band played, the DJ put on some great music that everyone could dance to. All that entertainment only cost us a modest two quid.

The better concert experience came on our second adventure. The venue was called Bloomsbury Bowl-ing Lanes. Imagine aspects of a club, a bar, and a restaurant all mixed in with a bowling alley and you have successfully imagined this venue. The drinks weren’t overly expensive,

Dear UNH,Wow! How amaz-

ing! How beautiful!Oh, whoops, I’m

sorry. I was so preoc-cupied looking at the brand new UNH web-site! I was so surprised that it was released on time as promised that I’ve been looking at it nonstop! I just fin-ished marveling at the ePay system– thank goodness that was working in time for the fall 2007 semes-ter! This is the first issue of The Charger Bulletin, right? Well, the website was sup-posed to come out last year– so maybe that byline under my name is incorrect. And the picture!? Why am I there? Shouldn’t that be Kim Mello? Tim Falotico? I mean, if the UNH website is coming out as prom-ised, it is last year – correct?

End sarcasm.Frankly, I don’t

know much about

ePay. I don’t know when it was supposed to be released; I don’t know what’s delay-ing the process. I’m admitting to igno-rance. But I do know that many students are complaining that it wasn’t ready for this semester as promised. But without person-

ally knowing much on ePay, I’m not going to write about it.

Last year, however, the new UNH web-site was promised. And delayed. And promised again. And delayed again. It was

guaranteed to be re-leased by the end of this October, and it’s now November– with no completion.

However, it’s not the webmaster’s fault. From personal experience, I know that creating a web-site, especially one as intense as that for a university, can take a huge amount of time and resources. And for what’s being worked on, it’s com-ing along very nicely and I’d like to send my extreme thanks to the webmaster for all the hard work he’s putting in. But we, the students, were promised a website multiple times in the past and deserve to be told the truth rather than false facts. It was never presented to us as “the site is estimat-ed at 25% complete, and it is expected to be 50% complete by

It seems like every corner I turn there is something to remind me about how fat Americans are get-ting. Nutrition facts on your box of chick-en nuggets at McDon-ald’s. Public Service Announcements re-minding you to be ac-tive. And whole grain being put into every-thing. I’m not saying these developments are a bad thing. I am more concerned with the truth behind this increasing concern.

In 2002, 15% of children and teens were considered overweight. That sta-tistic had tripled since

1980. I have to wonder if that means children have gotten fatter, or if our standards have changed. When I was a kid, I was always in the 90 percentile range for my weight/height

chart. Yes, I was a chubby kid, but I cer-

tainly wasn’t obese or even close to it. I was always tall for my age, which made it hard to compare my weight to that of others my age. I would assume that idea remains the same today.

So are these kids really obese? Or are they just chubby? Whatever it is, I don’t think the American people are doing the right things to fix the “problem.”

As a major kid’s network, Nickelodeon has tried really hard to get kids more ac-tive. Their Nick GAS channel even spent a whole day this sum-

mer without playing a single show, in an at-tempt to get kids to go outside and play. They also have an active challenge that they ad-vertise for all the time. I definitely commend Nickelodeon for this. But what’s stopping the kids from turning to the Disney Channel or ABC Family?

In the past five years, an increasing number of food prod-ucts have been re-leased and advertised as “healthy choices for kids.” This is a great idea, and it makes sense to have healthy snacks. However, I know that somewhere

there is a mom that is only giving her kids healthy snacks. The mom that gets mad when another mom gives her kid a single M&M. What ever happened to just being a kid? I ate healthy snacks, but be sure that when my brothers and I were going to have a granola bar, we chose the one with the chocolate chips in it. I would have saved all the money I had to go to the store and buy all the junk food I could if my parents tried to make me eat healthy things all day.

This whole food thing probably

wouldn’t be as much of a problem if kids were more active; too bad physical education is the first program to go when schools have to make budget cuts.

My brother is cur-rently in sixth grade. His yearly gym time has been cut in half so that he can take Span-ish (until last year, he would have had the choice between Spanish and French in eighth grade, which only signifies the problem that we have if the Mexican immi-grants are forcing us to all speak Spanish.

Dear UNH, Treat Us Like Adults

Childhood Obesity- The Hottest New Craze

After reading Mr. Kritzman’s article, I realized that it was completely biased. His article talks about Oink.cd, a bit torrent site that provided free music to members of the site. Through the article, it seemed that Mr. Kritzman was merely complaining that he would not be able to receive free music from them any-more.

Kritzman says that the site allowed mem-bers to gain access to little-known bands. While this is good and does spread the word about the band, it doesn’t help the band. In fact, it has the in-verse affect, crush-ing a band that relies on CD sales to get its

Choosing Sides in thePirating War

income. What good is a large fan base if the band can’t afford to travel to venues and play concerts?

Although Kritzman may purchase CD’s af-ter he has downloaded them, most people who bother down-loading do not. This is the reason that artists want sites like Oink.cd shut down. And just because an artist is involved with some-thing like this doesn’t necessarily mean that the artists will cripple themselves.

I haven’t men-tioned it yet and nei-ther did Mr. Kritzman, but downloading is a crime whether it is “not that big of a prob-lem to artists” or not. Music is copyrighted

material which means that unauthorized dis-tribution and duplica-tion of the material is prohibited. There is also a law called the No Electronic Theft Law, which says that trading or battering of music or sound re-cordings over the in-ternet is illegal.

Therefore, even if Oink.cd was a le-gitimate site in the eyes of its users, it’s a law-breaking, musi-cian-destroying web site. Sites like this one should be shut down and users like Mr. Kritzman should support the musicians they like and buy their CD as opposed to stealing it.

But that’s a problem for another day). My brother plays soccer and golf in the fall and lacrosse in the spring. However, he is chubby. He abso-lutely could have used that extra gym time, especially because I am away at school and my other brother is always out with his friends, which leaves no one to play with him at home. My con-cerns are only height-ened because once he passes tenth grade, he doesn’t have to take a

gym class at all.So no matter how

healthy our food gets or how much our TV tells us to go outside, American kids are getting mixed mes-sages. If it’s really that important to be active, then why do I have to take Spanish instead of gym? I know that video games don’t help, but I hate the people that blame ev-erything on them.

I know that this health craze applies to adults, too. How-ever, it’s the kids that I worry about. As an

should eat healthy and exercise and I don’t mind doing it. Do you want to know why? I already had fun as a kid. I ate my choco-late chip granola bars and my sugary cereal and I watched TV all afternoon (or as long as my mom let me).

Now, I don’t mind eating vegetables and cereal with whole grain. But what will happen to the kids that spend their whole childhood believ-ing everyone thinks they’re fat?

John couldn’t get any sleep that night. His mind kept won-dering. Until that night, he was content with his life and prop-erty. Not any more. Tonight, he is going to bed as a poor man- poor because he was discontented and dis-contented because he thought he was poor.

Early in the morn-ing, he jumped out of his bed and ran to his friend David. Da-vid had talked to him about the worth of diamonds. Learning about the wealth that can be gained through diamonds was the rea-son John was no lon-ger content.

"Will you tell me where I can find dia-

monds?""Diamonds? What

do you want with dia-monds?"

"I want to be im-mensely rich," said John, "but I don't know where to go."

Once he got direc-tions to a far unknown land, he was ready to leave. He sold his farm, collected his money, left his neigh-bor in charge of his family, and away he went in search of dia-monds. In this quest for diamonds, he had to sacrifice his pre-cious life and never return.

Months later, Mike, John’s son was trying to plough the field when his axe hit something. He pulled

out a black stone hav-ing an eye of light that reflected all the colors of the rainbow. He took that curious pebble into the house and left it on the m a n t e l , then went on his way and forgot all about it.

A few days after that, Da-vid came in to visit Mike when he saw the flash of light from the mantel. He rushed up and said, "Here is a diamond— here is a diamond! Has John returned?"

“No, no. John has

not returned and that is not a diamond; that is nothing but a stone. We found it right out here in our garden."

"But I know a dia-m o n d when I see it," he said, "that is a dia-mond!"

T o -g e t h e r t h e y rushed to the gar-den and stirred up

the white sands with their fingers and found other beautiful, more valuable diamonds. They had discovered one of most magnifi-cent diamond mines in all the history of mankind, exceeding the Kimberley in its value.”

We usually fail to see the diamonds that are right in our reach. How many untouched books are there in your home library? How often are you left unprepared? All of us want to earn money, build a great career and live a happy life.

To do this, we look for opportunities. But most of the time we unknowingly miss opportunities that are right under his nose.

Entrepreneurs rec-ognize opportunities and act on them. Still a student, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates saw a great business opportunity while reading the January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics magazine. It demonstrated the Altair 8800 and this would later lead him to amass a fortune of $51 billion to make him the World’s Rich-est Man for eleven consecutive years.

While at the Uni-versity of Texas at Austin, Michael Dell saw the same oppor-tunity when he started a computer company called PC's Limited in his room in Dobie Center. This company would later become Dell, Inc., an Ameri-can technology com-pany employing more than 78,700 people worldwide.

Sergey Bin and Larry Page, two doc-

torial students, saw the same opportunity while building their new search engine leading to the birth of Google, a com-pany which is ranked by Forbes magazine as the first among the Top 100 companies to work for in 2007.

How many of us utilize the resourc-es available to us a campus student. To improve our writing skills, we have a stu-dent-run newspaper. We have an excellent library here at UNH. How many of us have utilized it to his or her best? How many of us actively participate in various student orga-nizations around the campus which would actually mold the lead-er in you? How many productive hours do we spend on the inter-net each day?

Had John remained at home and dug in his own garden, instead of wondering unknown lands that would re-sult in his starvation, poverty and death, he would have had acres of diamonds.

"It is unfortunate that they choose to take this irresponsible action," producers said in a statement.

Producers said writers were not will-ing to compromise on their major demands.

Writers said they withdrew a proposal to increase their share of revenue from the sale of DVDs that had been a stumbling block for producers. They also said the proposals by producers in the area of Internet reuse of TV episodes and films were unacceptable.

"The AMPTP made no response to any of the other pro-posals that the WGA has made since July," writers said in a state-ment.

The strike is the first walkout by writ-ers since 1988. That work stoppage lasted 22 weeks and cost the industry more than $500 million.

The first casualty of the strike would be late-night talk shows, which are dependent on current events to fuel monologues and other entertainment.

Daytime TV, in-cluding live talk shows such as "The View" and soap op-eras, which typically tape about a week's worth of shows in ad-vance, would be next to feel the impact.

The strike will not immediately impact production of movies or prime-time TV pro-grams. Most studios have stockpiled doz-ens of movie scripts, and TV shows have enough scripts or

TV Writer Strike Shakes

Hollywoodcompleted shows in hand to last until early next year.

One key factor that could determine the damage caused by the strike is whether members of a power-ful Hollywood Team-sters local honor the picket lines.

Local 399, which represents truck driv-ers, casting directors and location manag-ers, had told its mem-bers that as a union, it has a legal obligation to honor its contracts with producers.

But the clause does not apply to individu-als, who are protected by federal law from employer retribution if they decide to honor picket lines, the local said.

The battle has broad implications for the way Hollywood does business, since what-ever deal is struck by writers will likely be used as a template for talks with actors and directors, whose contracts expire next June.

"We'll get what they get," Screen Ac-tors Guild president Alan Rosenberg told the Associated Press.

The guilds have been preparing for these negotiations for years, hiring staff with extensive labor union experience, and developing joint strat-egies and a harder line than producers have seen in decades.

"We haven't shown particular resolve in past negotiations," said John Bowman, the WGA's chief ne-gotiator.

“Did you ever think that you’re alive for someone else?” Musi-cians Rich Stone, Dar-rell Porter, Jon Sykes, and Dan Cuadras do.

Call II Conscious-ness has not been around for very long but the band is already making its place in UNH’s musical his-tory, and hopes to go past that. Con-sidered by MySpace to be “Pop/Rock/Punk,” band mates Rich Stone and Dar-rell Porter laugh and say they’re not really sure how best to clas-sify themselves. “It’s somewhere between power pop, rock, and punk.”

Unlike many oth-er bands, however, Call II Consciousness “can’t compare” to other bands. A rare yet good thing in today’s musical world. Some relate them to Jimmy Eat World, The Used, and All-American Re-jects, but no definite comparisons can be made until you hear

Since their first show at the Webster Theatre on Sept. 1, Call II Consciousness will be performing at a UCONN Battle of the Bands later this month, and their per-formances are build-ing from there.

Though many of their songs are of a political nature, they write what they feel. Band mates Stone and Porter claim “we stand up for what we believe in.”

American Mobsters Finally Make the Big Screen

Major motion pic-tures are certainly lacking when it comes to the depiction of American mobs. Fa-mous gangster films usually focus on the Italian mob or the Irish mob. Not only does American Gang-ster explore the life of a true American mob-ster, it is also based on

a true story.Around 1968, af-

ter the death of his mentor, Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) sets his eyes on taking over the abandoned mob. Not only does he turn the mere mob into a drug empire, he also creates a monopoly, isolating every other New York-area gang. Lucas rises to the top with the distribution of “Blue Magic,” a nearly pure kind of

heroin.As Lucas be-

comes more and more wealthy, good-hearted cop Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe) takes control of the newly-formed drug investi-gation police division in New Jersey. Even though his best friends are criminals and he is going through a messy custody battle, Roberts focuses all of his energy into doing the right thing. He is

ostracized from his original police force for turning in money that he found. Now, leading his own divi-sion, he is determined to take down the bad guy.

The movie does a good job at pacing the two characters’ lives. The cutting between the two separate men signify the vast dis-tance between them

Rodriguez in his last season as a New York Yankee.

CHARGER PRESS RELEASE–––––––––––––––––

A-Rod Becomes a Free Agent

NEW YORK— Dur-ing the middle of Game 4 of the World Series, it was an-nounced that Alex Rodriguez would not resign with the Yan-kees, and would test the free agent market. For one half inning, instead of talking about the game that was taking place be-tween the Colorado Rockies and the Bos-ton Red Sox, Rodri-guez was the center

Posada, Mariano Ri-vera and Andy Pettitte would return to the Yankees next season. Many people have also said that Rodri-guez never really fit in with the Yankees, and he was always in the shadow of fellow teammate Derek Jeter. There has been much controversy ever since Rodriguez joined the Yankees, regarding if him and Jeter got along as well as they used to.

The media may have been another factor in Rodriguez’s

departure from the Yankees. Whenever Rodriguez did not perform up to the stan-dards that were set by many people, he was always criticized.

Rodriguez now be-comes the biggest free agent on the market. There is a lot of ques-tion as to where A-Rod will end up. Many ex-perts feel Rodriguez would fit in well with a team like the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. There was also talk that he may end up with the Chica-go Cubs. Rodriguez is

of atten-t i o n , without even be-ing on the field.

R o -driguez’s a g e n t Scott Bo-ras stated that A-R o d ’ s m a i n r e a s o n for leav-ing New York was because he was u n s u r e if Jorge

very good f r i e n d s with Cubs manager Lue Pan-ella, and that could be a ma-jor factor in Rodri-g u e z ’ s decision. W h e r -ever Ro-d r i g u e z ends up is sure to be a big story dur-ing the offseason months.

Tempesta Leads UNH at NCAA Regionals

BRONX, N.Y.— Sophomore Melissa Tempesta finished 13th overall to earn All-Northeast recog-nition and lead the

"Both James and Jessey were integral parts to our offen-sive and defensive production through-out the season," said head coach Joshua Krusewski, "I'm happy that they were recog-nized by the league's head coaches for their efforts."

UNH finished the season 6-10-1 over-all and tied for fourth in the ECC at 4-4-1 in league play. This

Colbert Drops Out of Presidential Race

NEW YORK— Ste-phen Colbert has dropped his bid for the White House.

His announcement came after the South Carolina Democratic Executive Council voted last week to keep the host of "The Colbert Report" off the state's primary ballot. The vote was 13-3.

Colbert poses as a conservative talk-show host on the Com-edy Central show.

"Although I lost by

the slimmest margin in presidential elec-tion history — only 10 votes — I have chosen not to put the country through another ago-nizing Supreme Court battle," Colbert said Monday in a state-ment. "It is time for this nation to heal."

Colbert had said he would run only in his native South Carolina, a key primary state. He said he planned to run as a Democrat and a Republican — so he could lose twice. Colbert, 43, later de-clined to file with the GOP, which has a much higher filing

fee ($35,000) than the Democrats ($2,500).

"I want to say to my supporters, this is not over," Colbert said. "While I may accept the decision of the Council, the fight goes on! The dream endures! ... And I am going off the air until I can talk about this without weeping."

In reality, "The Colbert Report" was going off the air be-cause of a strike by Hollywood writers that began Monday. Many talk shows were expected to be shown in repeats during the strike.

also has a web edition. But up to Fall 2007, it was published in print only. The library is planning a digitiza-tion project for mate-rial in the Archives, to make many items available to view on the web, and we want to start with the stu-dent newspaper. With the help of The Char-ger Bulletin staff, who have in their newspa-per archives copies of papers from the 1970s which the library lacks, we want to dig-itize the earlier years of the paper and make them into a searchable database.

After this is accom-plished, for example,

one search result from the keyword “police” would be the Feb. 25, 1960 headline “36 Police Officers Begin Course Launched at College,” a report on the start-up of the Po-lice Science and Ad-ministration program.

Searching for Athletics should re-trieve a progress re-port from Nov. 1969 on the new Physical Education building on North Campus. The keyword “wom-en” should show an Oct. 1963 report that “Freshman Women Gain Half of Student Council Seats.” We’ll be able to search for a name, for example “David Beckerman,”

in Feb 1963, was one of a few Student Council members re-moved for lack of at-tendance (he was pre-sumably already hard at work on his entre-preneurial trajectory). This project will take time, but the results should be worth the effort.

If you have ques-tions or requests on these or any other re-search topics, please call us at extension 7189 (932-7189 from off-campus) or come to the Information Desk, where we will be happy to assist you.

Archives Offer Glance at UNH’s Extensive Past

con’t from page 4A bouquet presen-

tation was made by Tess, e-board mem-ber of the Interna-tional Student Asso-ciation. “All of these antiques are original. This makes this col-lection a real unique one,” the ambassador remarked.

To collect the arti-facts on display, Phyl-lis and Fenmore Seton traveled through the Sepik River in 1982, purchasing art from wood carvers and ar-tisans. The collection consists of 23 pieces of Oceanic art, includ-ing an Orator chair, a face mask with beard, a ceremonial mask, Yamani (a war shield)

with butterfly and hu-man design and dou-ble suspension hooks, and other numerous masks. The Setons bequeathed the col-lection to the univer-sity “to enhance the teaching and appre-ciation of art”.

Refreshments and snacks were served as part of the function and the guests were able to enjoy the art and food. The event

was really fun-filled and informative for all to cherish in their memories for a long time to come.

More information on the collection is available from Rob-ert D Greenberg, As-sociate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. He can be contacted via his email [email protected].

And that’s what I have a problem with. Don’t promise us something that can’t be completed in the time you promise it by. If you’re not sure, tell us that. We’ll under-stand more than you think. We’re adults.

The first thing a prospective student will see when looking at colleges will be our website. Coming from Milford, I’ve known of UNH for a while now, and I’ve known of the great programs, classes, and offerings. However, the majority of students who are not from Connecticut will not. And frankly, if I were a prospective student and interested in UNH, I would turn

around the very minute I saw our current web-site. First impressions can’t be changed.

If you’re interested in seeing the URL for the soon-to-be-updat-ed site, you can go to http://estrada2.ne-whaven.edu/ to see it.
