In today’s teaching styles, ed-ucation systems are introducing iPads as assistive technology devices.
Assistive technology devices are defined as any item, piece of equip-ment, or product system, whether acquired commercially, modified or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capa-bilities of individuals with disabilities.
Guest speakers Lauren S. Enders and Linda Kinsey Brown, both Augmentative Communication and Assistive Technology Consultants, visited LHU to discuss the effects of introducing iPads into educational learning environments.
iPads are increasingly being used in purposes for education, but there has been a greater rise in use for special education purposes.
iPads everywhere have been adapted to school curriculums for the
further engagement of students in individual and group learning situa-tions. They are used as a communica-tion device and as a leisure time activ-ity.
The iPad is a consumer device with built in accessibility enhance-ments that support users with vision, hearing, mobility, and learning dif-ferences. All of these features can be accessed through the accessibility tab under the general settings on the de-vice.
During the presentation, Enders did a hands-on activity for all of the audience members who had brought their iPads. She showed how to get to the accessibility features in the settings and various apps from the app store that can be used for educa-tion purposes.
“I didn’t realize how similar the iPhone and iPad were in their fea-tures,” said Clarissa Tarnowski, a ju-nior special educations major.
Tarnowski says that although she owns an iPhone, she does not own an iPad, but would purchase one for
teaching purposes. She said that apps from the app store could help a lot in teaching but you have to be careful for the free ones because they could be not as robust in features as a paid one.
To help decide what assistive technology devices to use for teaching functions, there is a four part model called the SETT Framework, which stands for Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools. This model is used to evaluate the effectiveness of these devices.
During their PowerPoint pre-sentation, one slide held a quote stat-ing, “iPad is transforming the way we teach and learn. Powerful creative tools, interactive textbooks and a uni-verse of apps and content make for endless learning possibilities. All on a device everyone already loves to use.”
The majority of the attendees of this workshop were students from SPEC:300 Communication Disorder and Assistive technologies, SPEC:425-Law and Collaborative practices in Education and Disability and commu-nity services major.

Many freshman don’t think about the end of their four years of school and instead focus on surviving the cha-os of those years.
For a large percentage of LHU students, their time in college is coming to a close. The Career Services depart-ment, located in Akeley 114, has recently posted their fall hours for walk in resume critiquing. Resumes are a vital aspect of the job application process and thus a concrete resume is essential to students as they take their first steps into the working world.
“Resumes are the first impression an employer re-ceives from a potential employee,” said Joan Welker, the director of Career Services. “They are often the gateway that opens the door to the interview stage.”
Career Services has critiqued resumes for more than 24 years, although last year was the first one that they posted official walk in hours. During these walk in hours, students can meet with a Peer Career Facilitator trained in the process of resume critiquing who can make suggestions
for improvement.Lindsey McClelland, a sophomore health science
major, and Gina Melasecca, a senior communications ma-jor, are two of these peer evaluators.
“The resume critiquing process is very beneficial in that it allows students to taste some aspects of the work-ing class. Personally, we feel better prepared for the job application and interview process because now we have an inside look as to what employers are looking for in their employees,” said Welker.
A common mistake students make is using com-puter generated templates as a method for writing their resumes.
“With a template, students are forced to write down information that is neither important nor relevant to their job search. The templates are not designed to highlight what really matters, but instead are just a crude version of what an actual resume needs to look like,” Welker says.
Other common mistakes include simple spelling er-rors and the use of material from high school.
The resume walk in hours for the fall of 2013 are available online on the Career Services page of the school website. A worksheet with helpful facts concerning the re-sume writing process is available as well.

“When witches don’t fight back, we burn,” states Fiona Goode, the Su-preme witch played by Jessica Lange. American Horror Story: Coven pre-miered last Wednesday on FX at 10 p.m., and it took off with a bang.
This season focuses on a group of modern day witches at an elite board-ing called Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies located in New Orleans. The school teaches young witches to harness their powers and function in the real world.
The school is run by Cordelia Fox, played by American Horror Story alumnus Sarah Paulson. She believes that the girls should conceal their pow-ers and try to live “normal” lives in the outside world.
Cordelia’s mother, Fiona Goode (Lange), believes that the girls need to be trained to fight the oppression they have suffered since Salem. Fiona is the “Supreme,” meaning she is gifted with many powers including clairvoyance,
telepathy and life sucking. She is the natural leader of the small group of witches and exerts her power when she returns to school.
The story is pure American Horror Story shock value. The cast of characters are once again well written and well acted. Even though some big names have been added to the cast this year, once again Jessica Lange is at center stage, and that’s where she be-longs.
In just one episode she proved that her character is not one to be reck-oned with, in both physical and verbal sparring. Sarah Paulson’s character has yet to have a lot of screen time, but Cordelia seems like an oncoming storm that will soon explode.
If the first episode is any con-solation, Coven has the potential to be the best of the American Horror story seasons. The combination of Jessica Lange’s Fiona Goode and Kathy Bates’ Madame LaLaurie is sure to be the shining relationship of the season. Af-ter one episode I’m bewitched and ev-eryone should be as well.

‘The Walking Dead’ shuffles back to television
Photo courtesy of screencapped.net
Last Sunday AMC proved once more why we Americans are zealous for zombies. The first episode of the Walking Dead left fans bewildered and rabid, almost foaming at the mouth with anticipation for the second episode.
The title of this episode, “30 Days Without an Incident” hints at the fact that the prison group has gone a whole month without a death or attack. Of course pro-ducer Glen Mazzara couldn’t let that streak of good luck continue as the episode progressed.
The episode takes place in three separate set-tings, at the prison, on the supply front and in the woods. Of course, spoilers ensue:
Series hero, Rick, is farming at the prison, now stocked with a pig pen and garden. He begins work on the garden but stops as he picks up a pistol and proceeds to throw it in a pile of trash. This leads audience mem-bers to wonder if he has suddenly become interested in gun control.
Rick and his new found dislike for guns is a de-veloping theme that shows him trying to become a better role model for his son, Carl and to change his opinion on their apocalyptic world.
Carol is teaching the children of the community weapon safety and self-defense under the rouse of “story time.”
New leadership roles have emerged as a commit-tee has been created to govern over the population in the prison that seems to be growing half as fast as the horde of zombies outside of the fence.
Fan favorite, Daryl, played by Norman Reedus, takes a small group including Tyreese, Sasha, Glenn and newcomer Bob, an army medic with a secret drink-ing problem on a run to a local “Big Spot” for supplies. During the run, Bob becomes trapped underneath a col-lapsed shelf mere seconds before zombies being to fall through the ceiling preceding a helicopter dropping from the sky.
Rick leaves the comfort of the prison to check the traps set up around the perimeter and is startled by a women who is in such terrible condition that she resem-bled a walker. This woman ends up being Governor-like, carrying the head of her zombiefied husband.
The episode ends with youngster Patrick becom-ing very ill, very quickly. He wakes in the middle of the night to take a shower, hoping for some relief. Within the last minute of the show, we watch Patrick suddenly drop dead. He then turns into a walker, sans bite, injury or cause of death.
This startling cliffhanger has left Walking Dead fans wondering what’s going on in the sanctuary they were so fond of.

This past Thursday, a new spin-off of the popular TV show “Once Upon a Time” premiered. “Once Upon A Time in Wonderland” is a creepy, more adult version of the Wonderland we’ve grown up loving.
In the first episode, we meet adult Alice who is considerably different from the little girl of the original story. It seems Alice has been locked in an Asylum by her father because of her wild stories of Wonderland.
Interestingly, we’re not just watching an-other version of “Alice in Wonderland” because in this version of the story, Jafar from “Aladdin” is an-other antagonist. It seems the two stories have been crossed over, making for a highly interesting first episode and possibly an even more interesting se-
ries. The mention of Agrabah comes in during one of Alice’s many trips to Wonderland where she meets a genie named Cyrus.
When Cyrus and Alice first meet he tells her he is from Agrabah, and I had to rewind back to make sure I heard right. I found this to be really neat. The mixing of these two stories has opened an amazing amount of possibilities.
While the episode shows us Alice and Cyrus’ relationship through flashbacks, it also shows us present day Alice. In an attempt to break her out of the Asylum, we meet the devious Knave of Hearts, played by Michael Socha. He has heard a rumor from the infamous White Rabbit, that Cyrus might still be alive. In an earlier flashback it appeared that he was killed by the Red Queen.
With this new found hope, a fire rages in Alice when she was about to give up. Alice makes her escape from the asylum and she and the Knave of Hearts return to Wonderland to see if the rumor about Cyrus is true.
The premiere of this episode kept me capti-vated the entire time. The show made me feel very sympathetic towards Alice, especially since she’d been locked away for so long.
I felt the special effects were magnificent. It all seemed so realistic and the costumes were amaz-ing! The Knave of Hearts was dressed in darker col-ors which was a striking difference between Alice’s paler colors. This really emphasized their personali-ties. Her outfit of undergarments seemed to express her vulnerable nature and the rawness of her emo-tions especially given the setting and plot.
The actors chosen to play the characters were well cast. All in all, I’d say a job well done. I plan to tune in again next week and hopefully you’ll join me! “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” is on at Thursdays on ABC at 8 p.m. You can also watch episodes on ABC’s website at abc.go.com.
Falling down the rabbit hole in new ABC show
Nothing beats a good Tim Burton movie in the month of Octo-ber. His dark movies such as “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “The Corpse Bride” are excellent films to watch for Halloween revelry, but my particular favorite is “Sleepy Hol-low”. This 1999 movie stars Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci and Miranda Richardson.
Ichabod Crane (Depp) is New York City police officer in 1799. He is sent away as reprimand for using unconventional forensic methods of investigation and is sent to the small town of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of brutal beheadings. Instead of cut dry murders he finds himself swept up in the supernatural and swamped in the dark secrets of the town.
I love the visuals in this mov-ie; it’s what really makes the movie for me. It has the usual shadowy char-acteristics of a Tim Burton film. The tone and imagery is as dark as the tar pit in the eighth circle of hell. The cin-ematography manages to depict this gloomy and yet seemingly gorgeous setting and tone.
Johnny Depp was fantastic as Ichabod. He portrays the character
very well. I especially liked his man-nerism and speech pattern in convey-ing the nervous and awkward aspect of his character’s personality.
He managed to make some very humorous moments in the mov-ie that were excellent in alleviating some of the gloom and suspense so the movie was not too drawn out or slow paced.
I also loved the costumes. I felt they were very accurate for the time period. I appreciated Katrina’s (Ricci) dresses and how they tended to be of a lighter shade, which not only contrasted with the setting to estab-lish her character but also really em-phasized her personality.
The special effects were amazing. The headless horseman, the witch, and the tree scene (to name but a few) were very realistically done. Al-though there were moments where I felt there was unnecessary gore, over-all I felt the film had just the right amount of carnage.
The plot and action of this thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat as well as the scarier mo-ments in the movie. So grab some candy corn, cozy up on your couch and take a trip to Sleepy Hollow.
Film Box Retrospective: “Sleepy Hollow”with Kathleen Ellison

After the battle of Manhattan in “The Last Olympian” of the Percy Jackson and the Olympian series, another Great Prophecy was created. This new prophecy declared that the seven strongest demigods of their time would band together to stop a new threat. That new threat turned out to be the Giants.
Three children of Roman gods and four children of Greek gods banded together, flying a mythical ship called the Argo II to Greece. This is where the temple, the House of Hades, is located and where the mortal side of the Doors of Death lie. However, their process is hindered by the forces of Gaea, Mother Earth.
Through it all, Percy and Annabeth fi-nally reach their destination and must find a way to survive an environment that is not only toxic for mortals, but is also full of monsters who thirst for revenge on the heroes.
Rick Riordan, the author of this series, really knows how to keep his readers on the edge of their seats. The action starts on the very first page and continues through the rest of the book.
From following the journey of the crew of the Argo II to following the process of Percy and Annabeth, there is never a dull moment. The character development is not hindered by this either. While “House of Hades” is more se-rious than previous books in the series, it still contains Riordan’s trademark humor and sar-casm.
As a reader who waited a year for this book, I have only two complaints. First, the book doesn’t live up to the hype given to it all year. It was fast and captivating, but it was also over entirely too soon for me. Second, this book doesn’t leave off at a cliffhanger like the three previous stories. A lot of readers might be thankful for this but for me, it was the cliff-hangers that kept me thinking about the books all year. Instead this book ends with the char-acters calmly flying off to their next destina-tion.
Published Oct. 8, 2013 by Disney-Hy-perion, this book is definitely a must have, es-pecially for fans of Percy Jackson or lovers of Greek Mythology. It is available at Wal-Mart and Amazon in hardback for $11.29, and a Kin-dle E-Book version for $9.99.

Halloween is approaching and what better way than to create a short list on the top 5 monster movies of all time.
5. The Mummy (1999):The Mummy features Brendan Fraiser and shows some incredible special effects for its time. This movie is a childhood memory and holds strong roots in what I feel a Halloween movie should portray.4. The Thing (1982): When it comes to horror, there is one author we can all agree on as being one of the best. One of Stephen King’s best movies has to be The Thing. It portrays a group of people who just so happen to be in the middle of nowhere and the tem-perature is well below 0. This setting has been proven time and time again to bring nothing but disaster for the crew and when The Thing emerges. 3. An American Werewolf in London (1981):I first sat down to watch this horror movie when I was probably a little too young to be watch-
ing movies about werewolves eating people. This movie may or may not have scarred me for life but if that’s not a reason to go see a horror movie about monsters, then I don’t know what is. The acting can be a bit cheesy at times but for the 1980, this seems to be a recurring style for movies.2. GodzillaThere have been many renditions of this age old classic and they all seem to be fairly en-tertaining. Godzilla is a monster that is world renowned. I couldn’t decide on the best Godzilla movie out there due to the ever increasing num-ber of them. But I figured this monster should make top five just because it always seems to be in the back of people’s minds when they think of terrifying monsters they would never want to encounter. 1. Young Frankenstein (1974):Young Frankenstein features famous actor Gene Wilder. The movie puts a comedic twist on the original Frankenstein story. If you haven’t seen this movie, make sure it’s on your next list of movies to watch. It is hilarious the whole way through while still sticking to the creepy roots of Dr. Frankenstein and his experiments with the dead.

Budget cuts are becoming a fa-
miliar topic amongst the state’s higher
education system. As retrenchment
and program losses become more com-
mon, the Association of Pennsylvania
State College and University Faculties
is working to lobby against these cuts.
Their most recent endeavor
started with legislators, APSCUF mem-
bers, educators and students alike get-
ting together for a reception dinner
Tuesday evening. Attendees discussed
strategies of lobbying in an informal set-
ting where they were able to get to know
one another, as most had not met before.
The next day included brief
meetings with multiple legislators in
the capitol building, a press conference
DQG�D�SHUIRUPDQFH�IURP�0DQVÀHOG�8QL-versity’s choir. Representatives from all
14 PASSHE schools were in attendance.
In the past three years, Gover-
nor Tom Corbett (R – Pa) has cut over
$90 million from state-funded higher ed.
This past August and September Clari-
RQ��(GLQERUR�DQG�0DQVÀHOG�DQQRXQFHG�their plans to lay off more than 90 ten-
ured and tenure-track faculty members
combined.
In light of this, APSCUF is now
lobbying for a restoration program in
order to get at least part of that $90
million back into the higher ed. budget.
Budget aspects are not generally looked
at until around April and May, accord-
ing to Senator Mike Hanna (D-Pa), so
APSCUF’s goal is to show initiative and
lobby early.
“We can’t do anything about re-
trenchment without more resources –
that’s where legislation comes in,” said
Stanley Berard, a political science pro-
fessor at Lock Haven University.
Throughout the meetings, of-
ÀFLDOV� VKRZHG� V\PSDWK\� WRZDUGV� $3-
SCUF’s cause. While most legislators
would rather be funding higher ed, the
biggest problem they face is that money
needs to be cut from something.
“Show me where we can take
the money from,” Senator Greg Lucas
(R-Pa) said.
Less is not always moreThe state schools are currently
trapped in a ‘vicious circle’ that began
with the initial 2011-’12 large scale cuts.
“They had to make some stra-
tegic cuts…” Senator John Wozniak
(D-Pa) said. “That means less classes
that people might be attracted to, which
means less students, which means next
time we have to cut more classes. That’s
what we want to prevent from happen-
ing.”
At this point, most state schools
feel that their only options are to raise
tuition and retrench – meaning to cut
down on faculty and staff members.
This hits home for Madaleine Dean, a
La Salle English professor and senator
(D-Pa).
“Retrenchment sounds more
like a military term,” she said. “‘We
have to retrench.’ Are you kidding me?”
Following the Press Confer-

“The message is keep music in

rotunda was expensive…sometimes you
need to choose what costs a little more
because it is important and it enriches
us.”
After this event APSCUF Presi-
dent Steve Hicks, an English professor
at Lock Haven, felt that the event was
a good starting point to restore funding.
“We’ll be following up with rep-
resentatives, and working on getting a
restoration through the House,” Hicks
said.
Editor’s Note: Ariel and Kate
were able to attend this event thanks to
APSCUF members who provided rides
to and from Harrisburg. Although APS-
CUF provided transportation, the Eagle
Eye ensures that the article is as impar-
tial as humanly possible. We emphasize
that these budget cuts are not a “want
to,” but a “need to” situation, as far as
legislators are concerned. There are no

10 October 17, 2013Lifestyles#throwbackthursdayTwenty years ago the state legislature was debating budget cuts that would di-rectly affect schools in the State System of Higher Education. Today, we are in the midst of a government shutdown, and funding to higher education is being
cut from most state budgets.
“God bless you merry people and God bless this merry day,” shouts Queen Elizabeth II at the gates of Mount Hope on her royal retreat. She enters the small renaissance town to a parade of bright colors and a joyous musical fanfare. The day is filled with valiant knights, scurvy pirates and damsels who aren’t always in distress. All these wonderful things happen at the Mount Hope Winery in Lancaster, Pa.
The winery uses the renais-sance faire a way to promote and test their wine. But the wine isn’t the main draw of the faire. Faire goers en-joy events such as The Human Chess Match, a personal favorite of mine.
The match is played with the actors at the faire acting as the chess pieces of the Queen and her opposer of the day. They engage in choreographed fighting that has the actors doing
back flips, splits and leaps to win the Queen’s favor.
Every weekend there is a new historical figure who opposes Queen
Elizabeth’s rule. The two groups squab-ble all day and the fight ends at the fi-
nal joust. The final joust decides the winner of the historical conflict that is happening.
The opposers span the entire length of Elizabeth II’s reign. After the final joust, Queen Elizabeth, always victorious, creates peace with her op-position. Then all the people of Mount Hope join each other at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in a joyous song and dance to celebrate the victory and the reign of the Queen.
The Renaissance Faire is a great weekend vacation destination. The drive is about two hours and it costs $25 for admission if you buy your tickets online.
The unique things you can buy range from hand-blown glass items to giant turkey legs. The Renaissance Faire is going on for the rest of October if you and your friends are looking for a cool weekend trip you can all enjoy. For more information about the Pa Renais-sance Faire you can visit their website: www.parenfaire.com.

One of the most enjoyable activities to do in October is to carve pumpkins. However, living in the residence halls can definitely put a damper on that situation. Lack of tools, space make it nearly impos-sible. Plus there’s nowhere to put it without it stinking up your room. Just because you may not be able to carve a pumpkin, doesn’t mean you can’t decorate one. Create a pump-kin crayon, it’s cheap and there is no major mess to clean up.
What you’ll need for this ac-tivity is a pumpkin, crayons, glue and a blow dryer. Once you have these things, you can begin decorat-ing your pumpkin.
The first thing to do is to lay down newspaper to cover the floor where you will be working. After you have done this, begin to peel the
paper off of the crayons. Once you have done this break the crayons in half and arrange the crayons around the top of the pumpkin like in the picture shown. After you have fig-ured out where you want your cray-ons to go, glue them to the pumpkin. Give the glue about 10 minutes to make sure it is dry.
Next, use your blow dryer to melt the crayons down the pumpkin. It will take a little time for the cray-ons to heat up so don’t get discour-aged. The idea is to let the crayon wax drip down your pumpkin, not entirely covering the pumpkin. When finished you will have one col-orful pumpkin.

Fall into pumpkin flavorLattes, candles, even lotions
are filled with one of the most antici-pated obsessions. The pumpkin flavor
is plastered all over this season as we continue to crave the taste of fall. I think we can agree that the best part about the pumpkin trend, is the food.
Forget Bentley, take advan-tage of your kitchens and cook up some yummy treats to get you through the season.

One of the phrases repeated to me through-out my childhood was, “all things in moderation”. It means that too much of anything is a bad thing. It represents a virtue demanding restraint and begging for equal footing. Yet society likes to see things in black and white, one end of the spectrum or the other, failing to acknowledge that any middle-ground might ex-ist. The focus is on politicians and cultural figures who act in a radical manner and harbor unreason-able beliefs. There is a fixation on exaggerations rather than actual issues. It is a fixation on ex-tremes. Extremes are best left to endeavors like sports and world records, the types of activities that fulfill some positive purpose and more or less acknowledge their own dramatic nature. The fanatics who are highlighted every day lack an awareness of lying outside of reason. The few that are aware play this dependable spotlight as part of an advantageous ruse. Zealots are not admired. People examine them to vilify them for crossing the line by separat-
ing acceptable and deplorable behavior. They are used as a model of what not to be or how not to successfully forward your own agenda. Logic follows that the model for good behavior should be someone who doesn’t fall to extremes; someone who tends to shy away from the cliff’s edge and towards common ground. They must be someone who you might call, oh I don’t know, a moderate. The word moderate has bad connotations. Outside of sarcastic remarks about extremists, you don’t hear it much. This says that one of two things must be true: people either believe that moderates are an extinct breed or that moderation isn’t any more worthy a doctrine than extremism. I am someone who looks for common ground in all situations. I have my beliefs and I stand by them but I also recognize that I’ll never change what anyone else thinks by trying to bully them into agreeing. If I can find commonplace in ultimate goals or roots of a belief, I stand a much better chance at successful persuasion. I can foster compromise (and we all know what happens when people can’t compromise—see our broken govern-ment). In the firing line with the extremists are a lot of people like me. We are attacked for not being
passionate enough, called wishy-washy and pas-sive and accused of not staying true to our causes because of a willingness to compromise with the opposition. I’ve got a message for the moderation-hat-ers: you need it and you need us. That’s right. Like parents trust what they’ve taught their children enough to send them into the world alone, we trust that our beliefs are deeply instilled enough not to be in jeopardy when we open our-selves to the opposition. We’re not unsure of our convictions. We’re secure enough that we don’t have to make exhibi-tions of grandeur out of them. Our demur appear-ance is a deceptive advantage. Our appeals to both sides grant us a great degree of manipulation in situations. It’s basic human nature: nobody wants to feel attacked or disrespected. We all strive for validity and understanding on some level. This simple principle is also a battle tactic. Creating a comfortable environment and diffusing tension is not bending backwards for the enemy. It is a sign of a greater awareness. So unless you’d enjoy a lifetime of govern-mental snafus and infinite unresolved arguments, you’d better learn to appreciate people like me.

Success without adversity is usually found in a fairy tale. Strid-ing for perfectionist is impossible in a world full of error.
Redshirt sophomore Julian Bond faced his moment of adversity when he missed his sophomore sea-son because of shoulder injury.
He started his college career as a starter for the Bald Eagles, but later that season, was sidelined by the injury that required surgery.
Bond started a promising fresh-man debut season, as he averaged 7.4 points and one steal per game. His career high was 18 against
California University of Pennsyl-vania.
The 6’0, 190 pound guard from Plymouth Whitemarsh, where he won a state championship, is look-ing to put away his past, and to con-tinue to build his future.
“I am just going to practice and compete at the highest level every day,” said Bond. “If I do just that ev-erything else will fall in place.”
He is preparing to elevate his game to the next level since his freshman year.
“I think that year off gave me a chance to watch the game from an-other view,” Bond said. “It let me learn the game and mature as a basketball player.”
Coach Nestor is looking for Bond to contribute in a major way this year.
“His toughness and work ethic
are two things we were missing last year” Coach Nestor said. “I know I am excited to have him back on the floor.”
The Bald Eagles have started practicing for the season. Their first official game is at home on Nov. 13th against Davis & Elkins.
Junior Wali Hepburn said his teammate is a fighter.
“Julian missed a whole season last year, I know it had to be hard for him to be there watching. But it showed a lot of perseverance and fight, and its good to see him back on the court,” said Hepburn.
Bond believes his team is ready to compete at the highest level. If they continue to achieve, anything is possible.
“This year is the foundation to turn Lock Haven basketball in to a winning program,” Bond said.

Bond bounces back
The Lady Eagles won two of three matches securing their win over West Chester Friday, Oct. 11.
The Lady Eagles came back after a hard defeat from Pitt-Johnson.
“We needed to manage our side of the net better and focus more on what we were doing on our side,” said Head Coach Dan Kreiger. “We didn’t focus on who we were playing, but more on us.”
The record of the Lady Eagles in PSAC is 3-5 with 14 games left in the season.
In the first game against West Chester, LHU scored the first point and fought
hard to pull ahead for a 25-19 victory.
“The momentum is a huge key in volleyball,” said captain Kaliegh Hudak who lead the team with 15 kills in the game.
The first point was dis-puted when the referee called LHU for too many touches. That call helped West Ches-ter take an early 7-2 lead.
The Eagles kept fighting to tie it up, 9-9, before falling short, 20-25.
“The first set was hard,” West Chester coach Kassie Bellaver said. “But the girls have a lot of resilien-cy. We lost our setter after eight matches due to a bro-ken hand. We keep getting thrown a lot of curve balls. The girls have met the chal-lenge due to the fact they had to change their lineup after every set.”
LHU took a 6-1 lead and went on to win the set 25-17.
Lady Eagles scored the first point of the set. And ju-nior Cody Anderson, couldn’t agree more with captain Hu-dak.
“Winning the first point gets us off to a good start and the confidence to keep go-ing,” Anderson said.
But LHU eventually trailed 18-20 and had to take its first timeout. The Rams then took a timeout while in the lead 20-23.
The Lady Eagles take their second timeout of the set with it being tied up 23-23 and came out on top, 25-23.
Next match for the Lady Eagles is Oct. 18, against Slippery Rock and Edinboro home.

Redshirt freshman Caleb Walton sparked the Bald Eagles, but Shippensburg (4-2,3-0) defeated Lock Haven (2-4,1-2) 30-24 in PSAC East action at Hubert Jack Stadium this past Saturday.
The first five drives of the game for LHU resulted in three and outs along with a 10-0 deficit before the team managed to pick up a first down. The score was 16-0 heading into halftime and turned into a 23-0 deficit after Shippensburg received the 2nd half kick-off and drove down the field in six plays which was capped by a 30-yard touchdown run.
LHU seemed to seize the momentum after junior George Christas intercepted a pass and returned it to the LHU 46-yard line. Senior running back Bran-don Brader's 49-yard run down to the Shippensburg seven yard line appeared to set the team up well. The team was not able to capitalize though as their fourth down attempt was batted down at the line of scrim-mage.
The first play of the first quarter earned Walton his first career touchdown pass; a 53-yard catch and run pass to sophomore Jeremy Cornelius. A two-point conversion made the score 23-11. Shippensburg re-sponded with a touchdown drive of their own to make the score 30-11 with 11:37 remaining in the game.
The ensuing LHU drive was led by Walton who was able to scramble nine yards on 3rd and eight to keep the drive alive. Later in the drive, Walton found Jesse Hoover for 14-yards on 4th and two which kept the drive alive again. Sophomore Beau Swales ended the drive with a three yard touchdown run which drew Lock Haven closer with a score of 30-18.
Following a three and out by Shippensburg, a quick three play, 60-yard drive that lasted all of 57 seconds cut Shippensburg's lead to 30-24. That touchdown proved to be the final one for either team as Shippensburg ran the final 5:13 off the clock.
Lock Haven showed a lot of heart and resiliency during the Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Out; just like those affected by the life-changing condition. The squad will return to Hubert Jack Stadium this Sat-urday, Oct. 19 for Homecoming. The team takes on No. 17 West Chester at noon.

Ship ends home streak
A Lock Haven University wrestler is looking at huge season after having a sensational first year.
141-pound redshirt-sophomore Dan Neff is excited to start the new season and is looking for a better season than last year. Neff went 26-11 last year and went 1-2 in the NCAA champi-onships in Des Moines, Iowa.
“My main goal for this season is to get up on the podium at nationals, become an All-Ameri-can and perhaps win a national championship,” Neff said.
Neff had a great season but there is only one man on his mind that he wants to beat from last year. That man is Edinboro’s Mitchell Port.
“I am very looking forward to facing Mitch-ell again this year,” Neff said. “He’s a national
finalist and I am right there with him.” Neff said that the one match he is looking
forward to this year is when they travel to three-time defending national champions Penn State.
New head coach Scott Moore said he is hop-ing for Neff to be an All-American despite the fact that Neff is only a redshirt-sophomore.
“He has beaten All-Americans before and that is not an easy thing to do,” said Moore.
Assistant Coach Matt Bonson believes that Neff’s biggest opponent is himself. “He just needs to believe in himself and not worry about the guy he’s facing in front of him,” Bonson said. “[He needs to] do what he does best: win-ning his match.”
Lock Haven wrestling hosts its annual crim-son and white exhibition on Wednesday Oct. 30 at the Thomas Fieldhouse.
The Eagles officially opened up their season when they host two dual matches against Ship-pensburg University and Bucknell University on Saturday Nov. 2.
