President Obama signs historic health care reform Kelsey Huebert Features staff

CLARION, Pa., March 25 -President Obama’s signing of the historic health care reform bill has Clarion students and area residents speaking up from both sides of the issue.

Ian Erickson, a senior in communication, said, “We need it, but they went about it in completely the wrong way. I think they would go to any limit to get it passed. There are enough taxes already.”

“I definitely think it is a good idea, but I don’t know how well it will work out,” said Becca Stewart, a freshman in communication.

“I’m not sure we’re ready to fully put it into effect.”

HealthReform.gov, an official site managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports, “1.3 million residents of Pennsylvania do not have health insurance, and if nothing is done, by 2019 this population could swell to 1.7 million.”

Facts like these created the initial impetus for

Clarion Hospital is affected by Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act which was signed by President Obama on March 23. reform. Not all students at Clarion are politically minded. Many of those interviewed declined to give an opinion on the new law.

The voices of student

political leaders, however, are strong enough to speak for most Clarion students.

Chris Katella is the Clarion Young Democrats president. He said, “Amer-

icans across the nation should be proud” of this occasion.

“Simply put, Clarion University students should be relieved at the imple-

mentation of this legislation,” said Katella.

“Instead of being forced into a volatile job market without health care, graduates will be allowed to stay

on their families’ plans until the age of 26.

Free preventive care with no co-payments, the cessation of annual limits of coverage, and the removal of the clauses that allow companies to drop ill recipients from their plans are just some of the benefits college students can begin to see in the months to come.”

Mike Armstrong, chairman of the Clarion College Conservatives, said, “Young people in particular should be concerned.

“The new health reform legislation imposes unconstitutional mandates on the American people while adding more than $569 billion in new taxes,” said Armstrong.

“Bureaucrats in Washington will have unprecedented control over our health care decisions, penalizing Americans who do not purchase authorized insurance plans.

Furthermore, the law will only add to our national debt while subtracting $52 billion from Social See “HEALTH” page 2

Ribbons to support Relay for Life

Mark Lett News staff

CLARION, Pa., March 25A 60 second profile can be a useful tool in seeking internships.

Jim Garboden, a senior recruiter with H.J. Heinz Co., said, students may run into a potential interviewer, employee or secretary.

By having a 60 second brief, a student can make himself or herself look more professional. The short profile tells the interviewer most of the infor-

mation he or she needs to know.

It’s helpful in securing a job and also shows the personality of the applicant.

Garboden spoke Tuesday night at an internship workshop in Eagle Commons.

The workshop, conducted by Nick Brucker, a student at Clarion University, was the first in a series of workshops to be held on campus.

Others will be held 7 p.m. Tuesdays March 30, See “WORKSHOPS” page 2

Library offers more to students than finals week shelter Adele Stewart News staff

CLARION, Pa., March 25Clarion University’s Rena M. Carlson Library is a common place for students to study, meet in groups or check Facebook statuses.

However, there is a lot more to the Carlson Library than meets the eye.

The Carlson Library’s collections are located on five floors – Level B to Level three..

Level B contains bound periodicals that are more than nine years old.

Although it has restricted access, anyone can fill out a journal request form that will be submitted to the circulation desk staff.

nile/young adult collections, media, Frederick Douglass Collection, as well as oversize books and faculty publications.

Level A also has two separate computer labs and various work areas. Level 1, the entry level, includes reserves, periodicals (most current to nine years) and reference collections.

It, too, has computer labs and work areas. Level two and three hold book collections and provide students with “quiet zones,” which are select areas where students must remain silent in respect to their studying cohorts.

The library offers electronic, traditional print and media reserves.

Scholarships available for undergraduate students at Clarion continued from page 1 education. There are 35 athletic scholarships, as well as other scholarships by major for students to look at and apply to.

Most scholarships are funded via private support through the Clarion University Foundation, Inc., and are overseen by the Office of Scholarship Administration.

The SPIRIT Scholarship was created by students for students.

SPIRIT stands for: Students Producing Innovative Recognition for Incoming Students of Tomorrow.

“The scholarship is

awarded to an incoming freshman,” said Alpha Sigma Tau sister, Samantha Cooney.

“They must have a 3.0 GPA, and they must provide a letter of recommendation from a service project or philanthropy that they worked for.”

Clarion’s Greek organizations, Panhellenic Council and the Interfraternity Council helped to establish the scholarship.

“Every sorority made a commitment to it, and we all raised money through Panhellenic Council,” said Cooney.

The Greek organizations pledged $1,000 a year

for five years to start the SPIRIT Scholarship endowment.

Endowments must reach $25,000 or more before a scholarship can be distributed.

On Wednesday, March 24, a SPIRIT Day, hosted

by Clarion cheerleaders, was held in the lower Gemmell Rotunda from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in hopes of receiving donations to get the $25,000 needed.

Another new scholarship was the William and Elizabeth Hart Scholarship.

The scholarship was established to honor the late Dr. William Hart and his

wife, prior to Hart’s retirement from the chemistry department.

Scholarships up to $2,000 are awarded and can be used to pay for tuition, room, board and books.

Applicants must be a declared undergraduate in one of the College of Arts and Sciences disciplines of biology, chemistry, earth science, mathematics or physics.

Also eligible are college of education majors in those disciplines, as they are preparing for Pennsylvania certification to teach that discipline.

Applicants must have

completed at least three semesters of study at Clarion and must have a GPA of 3.3 in their science major and mathematics course work.

Some students don’t have to apply for scholarships; they are automatically considered when they apply to the school or begin to get recognized for their academic performances.

The Board of Governors Awards are made each semester to under-represented students and a majority of students in various majors and programs including: science and math majors, the Honors Program, Emerging Scholars and

Academic Sports League.

Candidates must hold a GPA of 2.7 every semester, as well as have a strong contribution to the community, participate in extracurricular activities and have competitive SAT scores.

The BOG scholarships can be awarded from $1,000 to covering all of a student’s tuition.

Information on all the scholarships is located on the Clarion’s Web site.

Also listed on the web site are deadlines and scholarship contact persons, as well as certain preferences indicated by some of the donors.

Workshops available for students seeking internships continued from page 1 April 6 and April 13. Garboden outlined the parts to an interview and told students that most people overlook the preparation step.

He told students to always bring an extra pen to fill out paperwork. He also gave pointers on how to dress for an interview.

“Always dress one step above the expected,” he said.

Garboden addressed behavioral interviewing. This is an interview technique that has been used since

the 1970’s.

He said many people may not use this style of interviewing, but it is common.

Having questions for your interviewer is also a good idea, he said.

Most people are asked after their interview if they have any questions.

Some may simply say no, stutter or ask questions that are not acceptable, such as when they could get a raise or how long it may take to move up in their position.

It’s better, he said, to have a question about the

work environment or overall company operations.

A slide show presentation featured tips on internships, resume building and interviewing.

“A lot of students are clueless about what to do after college. We are learning things in this workshop that you will not find inside a classroom,” said Jennifer Dailey, a graduate assistant in the department of communication at Clarion University.

The internship workshops are open to all students.

“Students are getting an

opportunity for high level advice on resume building and interview tips,” said Dr. Joanne Washington, an associate professor in the department of communication.

“The students who take advantage of this will get individualized advice on their resumes from an expert for free just because they showed up for this workshop,” said Dr. Myrna Kuehn, department of communication chair.

“It goes well beyond learning how to prepare to get an internship. It’s career coaching.”

Health care reform bill signed by President Obama continued from page 1 Security. Real reforms need to be made.

These include tort reform to cut costs, allowing individuals to purchase insurance across state lines and providing tax breaks to those who don’t receive

insurance from their employers,” said Armstrong.

Local health care professionals have also raised concerns.

X-ray technician Ben Miller works at West Penn Orthopaedics.

He says hospitals overspend, and that insurance

companies dictate what can be done in medicine.

“I think this bill will cut a lot of local hospitals’ funding. It may put some out of business. It’s hard to tell,” Miller said.

Dr. Robert Armstrong, a surgeon at Clarion Hospital, said,

“From a physician’s perspective, I think it is an incomplete bill. We all wanted to see more people covered by health insurance. ” Even after it is signed, the health care reform law is a subject of intense debate.

Library for more than finals continued from page 1 on their electronic devices, or just learning how to use EBSCO Host – anyone here will be willing to help,” said Dr. Terry Latour, director of Libraries.

The library also provides help from wherever a student is located.

Once students locate a book or media item held by the CU Library in the online catalog, PILOT, they can fill in their cell phone number and receive the library location call number via text.

This year, the library had started a feedback survey to see if it needs to make any improvements.

The last survey, conducted in November, had asked for students’ feedback on sessions, the quality of help and how often they make use of the library.

“We wanted to get as much feedback as we could,” said Latour.

The library sends out its virtual newsletter every week, explaining new updates, giving computer tips and informing students and faculty of any new materials received.

Students are encouraged to take advantage of what the library has to offer. They may be surprised at what the Carlson Library holds.

The paparazzi makes photographers look bad Caitlin McGill Photography Editor

It’s pretty clear that the paparazzi are a nuisance.

Sure there are those famehungry reality stars that eat up the paparazzi and love the attention, but 98 percent of celebrities are visibly annoyed having their every move caught on camera.

The word “paparazzi” comes from a character in the 1960 film “La Dolce Vita” directed by Federico Fellini. The character is a news photographer named Signore Paparazzo. In his book “Word and Phrase” Origins, Robert Hendrickson writes that Fellini took the name from an Italian dialect that describes the noise of a buzzing mosquito. This is ironic considering the buzzing of a mosquito is quite annoying and so are the paparazzi.

The paparazzi invade celebrities’ privacy on a daily basis. It’s not as if these people run into all these celebrities by chance

and happen to have their cameras with them. The paparazzi do whatever it takes to find out where celebrities will be. When the paps do catch the celebrities they often get mixed reactions. Some celebrities are nice to them, some ignore them completely and some even get into fights with them.

One of the most memorable and controversial instances involving the paparazzi was the death of Princess Diana.

On August 31, 1997, Princess Diana, her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, and her driver, Henri Paul, were killed in a car accident in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris. This accident was due to the reckless driving of Paul, but the paparazzi are partially to blame as well. They followed the car doing anything and everything to get photos of the princess. And even after the car crashed, the paparazzi continued to take photos. This is an instance where you can’t say that they’re just doing their job.

This is an instance that shows heartless human beings who get so lost in something that they do for money that they become inhumane.

Because the paparazzi have become such a problem, several states and countries have made laws as to when and where the paparazzi can take photos.

There are even a few countries where you need the permission of the people in your photos to be able to release them. I think the rest of the world should follow suit and lay down the law.

Considering I’m not famous and I’ve never had to deal with the paparazzi, I can’t complain too much, but as a photographer I think the paparazzi need to back off. I wonder if they’d like it if someone waited outside their houses to take photos of them in their sweatpants.

Health Science Education Center closes doors Luke Hampton Editor-in-Chief

After eight years of service to the youth and Clarion community, the Clarion University Health Science Education Center will close its doors due to a cut in funding by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

Doug Watson, Project X coordinator at the center, said the last day for HSEC’s operation is today.

Word of the Department of Health’s decision to cut programs was first reported last summer.

Most of the funds came through the Master Settlement Agreement from 1998 in which states were given millions of dollars for health related prevention efforts, specifically in the area of youth tobacco prevention, according to Watson.

This agreement was the same settlement that provided funding for an advocacy group called the American Legacy Founda-

tion, which was responsible for the well-known anti-smoking “the Truth” campaigns.

With the center set to close, Watson reflected on many of the rewarding experiences he encountered in his time at HSEC. “The most rewarding experience while working at the HSEC is knowing you have reached out not only to Clarion’s community but communities across the state,” he said.

The center was able to provide resources the students did not have in their classrooms. These resources were available to give students hands on learning experiences.

Such free programs the center provided included in-house programs such as “My Body-My Buddy,” for Kindergarten through second grades. This program educated students on the composition of the body and how to keep it healthy.

Another program, aimed at grades nine through 12, focused on “Good vs. Fad Advice.”

This program

identified reasons why supplement is an unsafe way to enhance athletic performance.

The topics in this program gave positive guidance to youth who may mimic famous athletic role models. The HSEC also had the resources to visit local schools and provide similar workshops regarding health, according to the HSEC Web site.

The students outside Clarion’s community were primarily “at risk” or minority populations that come from difficult neighborhoods.

“The HSEC’s Leadership Academy gave these students an opportunity to see what there is outside their block or community,” Watson said.

“Since this program, I have developed pen-pals and communication lines where I still serve somewhat as a mentor for those students.”

In a last stand to provide funding for the center, a proposal was created for the Pepsi Refresh Project,

Due to a cut in funding, the center will no longer provide services to the community. which according to its Web site, “looks for people, businesses, and nonprofits with ideas that will have a positive impact.”

The proposal is online,

and the idea with the most votes will be awarded $250,000. Currently, the HSEC is ranked 59th.

Watson urged supporters to vote for the grant and

said that as of April 1, there will be another Pepsi Grant proposal to help the Leadership Academy.

He urged support for this grant as well.

The great “Pot” debate continues for California legislation Cathy Bussewitz AP Exhange

SACRAMENTO, Calif.— California voters will decide whether to legalize recreational marijuana use for adults, after the secretary of state on Wednesday certified the initiative for the November ballot.

It would become the first state to legalize recreational marijuana use if the

proposition is approved.

Marijuana use is legal for medicinal purposes in California and 14 other states, but the drug is illegal under federal law.

Secretary of State Debra Bowen certified that the petitions seeking to place the question on the ballot had more than 433,971 valid voter signatures, the minimum number needed to qualify.

If approved, the initia-

tive would allow those 21 years and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana, enough to roll several marijuana cigarettes. Residents also could cultivate the plant in limited quantities.

The proposal would ban users from ingesting marijuana in public or smoking it while minors are present. It also would make it illegal to possess the drug on school grounds or drive

while under its influence.

Local governments would decide whether to permit and tax marijuana sales.

“The tide has turned,” said Dan Newman, a strategist with the campaign backing the measure. “The combination of the broken budget and dysfunctional cannabis laws have created the perfect storm for this initiative to pass in November.”

Opponents refer to marijuana as a gateway drug, meaning its use is believed to lead young people to try other, harder drugs. They worry that legalization would persuade more people to try it, worsening the nation’s drug culture.

“How can our kids say no when the adults around them are saying yes?” asked Aimee Hendle, a spokeswoman for Californians for Drug Free Youth.

Proponents of the measure say legalizing marijuana could save the state $200 million a year by reducing public safety costs and could generate tax revenue for local governments.

The initiative is the second proposal to qualify for the November 2010 ballot.

The other is a $11.1 billion water bond measure that was pushed by state lawmakers.

Electricity and a rock concert atmosphere pervaded the Rip the Runway Fashion Show March 19 at Clarion University.

There was not a seat to be found in Gemmell Multi-purpose Room for an event that brought down the house with today’s latest fashion and entertainment.

The University Activities Board and Black Student Union sponsored the two-hour event, which featured 14 female models, 13 male models and focused on eight separate themes.

The night started out almost like a rock concert as models had their chance to start their strut from the back of the room to the front on catwalk and stage.

Once the lights dimmed and the first model was in the spotlight, the room lit up with energy as each model came forward.

The most electric part of the evening came after the intermission. The swimwear portion gave the audience a chance to see the new spring styles. Muscles and well-oiled bodies flexed on stage.

When Andrew Moore and Gerald Hudson came out wearing swimming trunks and black tank tops, they earned a standing ovation.

Moore and Hudson ripped their shirts off, revealing big guys can be sexy, too.

Part one of the show focused more on the casual wear. When the models first came out, there was a mix of styles, color and textures.

The models dressed in black for a color-coded section of the fashion show. The fashion accessories, shoes, sunglasses, jewelry, etc., were the only color on stage.

Models dressed in business wear for the sophisticated part of the evening. The fashions included suits, dresses, skirts and tops.

“These models are like bacon and eggs. They just look good,” said Doug “Fresh” Spencer one of the hosts for the evening.

While the models were backstage, disc jockey Elijah Thompson spun tunes as Spencer and Patrick “Patpoose” Pettis performed dances from the decades with the Robot, break-dancing and the Jerk.

They covered popular music and dance styles from the 1960s all the way up to today.

The fashion show also represented the changing seasons in a Four Seasons collection.

It started with a fall collection of earth tones and warm sweaters, and progressed to summer with bright colors, sunglasses, flip-flops and beach dresses. There was also a lingerie section in the fashion show.

Afterward, Patrick and Spencer Pettis engaged the audience in what they called “Ask Dr. Fresh.” Members of the audience had the chance to ask questions about relationships.

The comic transition led into the next runway viewing.

Romance was in the air when the men had a chance to show their soft side wearing threepiece suits and carrying red roses.

Once all men were on the catwalk, they handed their roses to the women who assisted in the production.

To close the night, the female models were dressed in the latest prom gowns. Each model sparkled as their rhinestone dresses and silk materials reflected the lights.

Nicole Harrington, the director and coordinator of the show, thanked the audience and the people who helped in the production.

Harrington said, even though this was her first time doing the show it was a lot of fun, despite the hard work.

Q: Dear Dr. Eagle, Break is over, and all I hear everyone talking about is how he or she got drunk every day. I went with a group to Cancun, Mexico and eye witnessed a lot of my friends binge drinking. My best friend got so drunk that she passed out and was vomiting everywhere. Eventually we had to take her to the hospital for fear of alcohol poisoning. What are some signs that someone is becoming too intoxicated?

Signed, Warning

A: Dear Warning, You did the right thing by taking your friend to the emergency room because your friend, if not treated could have died. Some warning signs of serious intoxication to the point of alcohol poisoning are: not being able to stand up straight, erratic behavior, not being able to hold a conversation or make eye contact, and slurred speech. According to the University of New Mexico, nine to 10 drinks can be lethal for a 120-pound person. It takes an hour to metabolize, or get rid of 8 ounces of alcohol. If you see someone with irregular breathing, uncontrolled vomiting, low body temperature, blue or pale skin, unconsciousness, and confusion call your poison control center (800-222-1222) or 911 right away. Whatever you do, never leave the person alone and never try to make him or her vomit. Alcohol poisoning causes an impaired gag reflex, which could result in people choking on their vomit or even inhaling vomit into their lungs.

Signed,

Dr. Eagle

Clarion offers eating disorder screening Michael Collins Features Staff

Eating disorders are a problem among college students and the overall population in general. Few people are able to control these dietary issues themselves.

That is why Counseling Services and Keeling Health Center will be offering free and confidential screenings 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, March 29 at the Rhoades Center on Venango Campus; and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 30 on the upper level of Eagle Commons and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 31 at the Student Recreation Center at Clarion University.

“The screenings are great because they are free and confidential,” said Marla Harp, a counselor at Clarion University Counseling Services.

She also explained how the screenings might help encourage those with some kind of eating disorder or health issue to seek out the help they need.

Eating disorders are complex conditions that result from several factors, including behavioral, emotional, psychological, interpersonal and social factors, according to the American College Health Association.

Often, food and the control food are used by people with eating disorders to cope with difficult or painful feelings or

to gain a sense of control over their lives.

Eating disorders can affect anyone.

People with eating disorders spend a lot of time thinking about eating, food, weight, and body image, according to the association.

They may count and recount the calories in their meals, weigh themselves many times a day, and place themselves on severely restricted diets, regardless of their weight.

They often “feel fat” when their weight is normal or abnormally low, or feel uncomfortable after consuming a normalsize meal. Generally, they categorize foods as “good” or “bad” and make judgments about themselves based on how well they control what they eat.

Believing that others also are judging them based on their control of food, they frequently feel anxious eating when people are around.

The American College Health Association also says cultural and psychological issues, personality traits and learned behavior all contribute to eating disorders.

Both genetic and biological factors have been found to be associated with anorexia nervosa and bulimia. In addition, some people may have biochemical imbalances that make them prone to these disorders. American culture encourages people to base self-worth on body weight and shape.

If a person isn’t as thin as a fashion model or as muscular as a sports figure, they may see themselves as a less valuable person. At the same time, food is often used as a source of love and comfort, and eating is an important part of social events.

The resulting confusion can lead to conflict about why and when to eat. Both men and women are susceptible to this confusion. People with eating disorders are often subject to depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. They generally are perfectionists who feel inadequate, ashamed, and guilty when they don’t measure up to their own standards, standards that are often unrealistic and based on rigid, black/white, either/or thinking.

An eating disorder is also a learned coping skill used to re-channel, avoid or block out emotions that feel too threatening. People with eating disorders have learned to wear “masks” as a way of coping. They may appear happy but are experiencing a lot of sadness. This behavior may be learned from family or peers.

Often, a parent of someone with an eating disorder abuses food, alcohol, tobacco or other drugs.

The association adds that a few people can stop their eating disorders by themselves and never have relapses.

But, because many factors contribute

to these disorders, most people need help.

The most successful treatment usually involves clinicians from different health disciplines, including psychologist, psychotherapists, physicians, dietitians and nurses.

Treatments may combine several forms of therapy, including behavior modification; individual, group, and family psychotherapy; and participation in self-help groups.

Hospitalization may be necessary for people whose symptoms are particularly severe, and drug therapy may be useful for any underlying long-term depression and anxiety. In addition, many people with eating disorders benefit from education about their basic nutritional needs in conjunction with other forms of help.

Students seeking help can either attend the face-to-face screenings or participate in online screenings. Clarion University Counseling Services has online screenings for depression, alcohol and eating disorders for anyone who doesn’t want to come to the screenings in person.

This free screening is anonymous and made available to all Clarion University students. The screening is provided so that students may find out, in a few minutes, whether or not professional consultation would be helpful.

Clarion Spirit Scholarship started by students for students David Hazlett Features Staff

Clarion University students have the opportunity to help other students by giving money to a new type of scholarship – The Spirit Scholarship.

“This scholarship was started by students for students, and it’s the first of its kind at Clarion University. It is also to support the student culture of giving,” said Michelle Wingard, the annual funds officer at Clarion.

The scholarship will be awarded to an incoming student who displays

a leadership commitment of philanthropy, a gradepoint average of 3.0 or better and a letter of recommendation from the organization with which he or she worked.

The Spirit Scholarship, which stands for “Students providing innovated recognition for incoming students of tomorrow,” is funded through donations from students and other individuals and groups.

On Wednesday, March 24, the Clarion University Cheerleaders, along with the Phone-A-thon employees held a Spirit day in Gemmell Student Complex

to get individuals to donate.

Diana Brown, the Clarion University cheerleading adviser, said, “The cheerleaders are spirit ambassadors for all of Clarion University, not just athletics.

We wanted to show our support for all of Clarion, not just athletics.”

The cheerleaders at Clarion University walked around asking students to donate just a few dollars in order to help accumulate funds to send someone to college, who might not have had the chance without this type of scholarship.

• Interhall Council is hosting its annual Clarion Idol competition. If you are interested, you must come to the tryouts that will be held on Thursday, March 25 at 7:30 p.m. in Gemmell 248. Bring a song in any genre but please avoid offensive words and violent remarks. Each person will get a five minute tryout.

• The Wildlife Society will be holding its next General Meeting on Tuesday, April 6 at 4 p.m. Members and anyone else interested are invited to come. For more information, contact the Wildlife Society at clariontws@clarion.edu.

• PennAeyc is hosting a Scholastic Book Fair in the bottom level of Carlson Library. The dates and times are: March 29 - 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m., March 30 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m., March 31 - 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 and April 1 - 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

• The Clarion University Dance Team will be holding try outs to supplement the current dance team. The clinic days will be Sunday, March 28 and Monday, March 29 from 7:30 p.m. - 9 p.m. in Tippin Dance Studio. The try out date will be Tuesday March 30 at 7:30 p.m. The try out date is mandatory.

Freshman Lindsay Solvay, who is also a member of the cheerleading squad, said, “I think it’s important because everyone deserves the chance to come to college. Giving some of what we have to someone who might not have the chance to come to college is something that everyone should do.”

Now, the Spirit Scholarship has a total of $6,300, and the goal is $25,000.

“If every student attending Clarion University donated $3, we would exceed our goal of $25,000,” said Wingard.

Annette Johnston, a

Phone-A-thon employee and an individual donor, said, “I worked with a girl who would not have had the opportunity to come to college without the help of scholarships, and I felt if I can help someone why not.” She added, “It does not take a big donation to make a difference, any donation will make a difference to a student in the long run.”

The members of the Phone-A-thon not only have donated as individuals, but are working on a fundraiser in the near future.

Sara Grace Heins, a

supervisor at the PhoneA-thon, said, “We believe heavily on the support of alumni, so we think students should get involved, and this was a good way to show our support.”

Individual donors, or any student organization that wants to make a contribution to the Spirit Scholarship can contact the Clarion University Foundation Inc. at (814) 393-2572 or by e-mailing Michelle Wingard at mwingard@clarion.edu.

Night two will also feature Advocate as the opening band, Josh Gracin, Matt Nathanson and Cobra Starship will be rounding out the show and providing a diverse collection of music.

American Idol fans may remember Josh Gracin from the second season where he placed

fourth. Since the show, Gracin has been touring the country performing while also releasing a number of studio albums.

Matt Nathanson has been releasing music since 1993 and has toured with the likes of John Mayer, Guster and OAR. The main event, Cobra Starship, will be using CampusFest as a warm up for their upcoming “Too Fast For Love” tour. Most widely known for their involvement in

the “Snakes on a Plane” theme song, Cobra Starship has a synthpop vibe sure to make those in attendance feel like dancing.

Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased at the Information Desk in Gemmell or online at the Clarion store. Tickets for Friday are $10 and $25 ($15 for students) for Saturday.

Those who buy tickets for the Saturday night show will also get a ticket for Fridays show absolutely free.

Album Review: Sleeping With Sirens Brandy Hadden News Editor

Sleeping With Sirens’ debut album “With Ears To See and Eyes To Hear” released March 23. With singles such as “If I’m James Dean, You’re Audrey Hepburn” and “Captain Tyin Knots VS Mr. Walkway,” “Ears to See” was predicted to be highly anticipated by fans. Predictions were confirmed when the preorders of their album made the band number one on merchnow.com, and furthermore confirmed when their page got over 100,000 plays on the first day that the full album was streamed on Myspace.

With a sound similar to bands like A Skylit Drive, Attack! Attack!, and We Came As Romans, Kellin Quinn, Brandon McMaster, Justin Hills, Gabe Barham, and Jesse Lawson

don’t disappoint on their debut. Quinn already has a significant fan base from other bands, and many may be familiar with his uniquely high voice.

The first song on the album, “If I’m James Dean, You’re Audrey Hpburn” is also their first music video, which was released the day after the album and is easily the most popular song on the record.

With an acoustic version performed by Quinn and McMaster already on Youtube, the song is already a fan favorite and the epitome of the band’s sound, combining Kellin Quinn’s melodic voice and crafted screams with Brandon McMaster’s guitar and back up vocals.

“The Bomb Dot Com V2.0” (the second version of the song) has a similar sound, as does the following “You Kill Me.”

“Captain Tyin Knots VS Mr. Walkway” features Dave Stephens from We Came As Romans making it one of the harder songs on the album highlighting Stephens’ screams and McMaster’s guitar skills.

The album takes a slight soft turn at the almost acoustic “Let Love Bleed Red” which features Aaron Marsh of Copeland, in which Quinn sings “This could mean everything or nothing at all/ I’ll take what is real, I’ll give you my all.”

Listeners might wonder where exactly the music went as “Don’t Fall Asleep at the Helm” is nothing but distortions of Quinn’s voice. The two and a half minute song has almost nothing to offer the CD except the clever lyrics “Fall deeper and deeper the sirens are singing your song.”

The album’s namesake brings the hard rock

back into the album giving “Captain Tyin Knots” a run for its money. “Ears to See” is also a song done acoustic on Youtube with Quinn, McMaster, Lawson, and Barham.

“In Case of Emergency, Dial 411” goes back to more of their original sound at the beginning of the album.

Quinn, McMaster, Hills, Barham, and Lawson are highlighted on the last song on the record, “The Left Side of Everywhere,” which is easily the best on the album allowing it an epic finale.

Sleeping With Sirens is currently on the Royal Family tour with From First to Last, Eyes Set to Kill, Confide, and Black Veil Brides until mid April, and are coming to Pittsburgh on May 5 with Sky Eats Airplane, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Motionless in White, and Attila.

Twilight to take the throne Harry Potter once had Chelsea Perza

Entertainment Staff

Imagine yourself on Friday March 19, 2010 standing in front of Walmart anticipating the release of part two of the “Twilight Saga: New Moon.”

You own all the books, the first “Twilight” movie and even the dolls.

Your even a bigger fan of “Twilight” then you were “Harry Potter,” when it first came out. There are about 100 other people there who want that same movie. The doors open and now everyone is rushing in to get there copy. Within minutes there are no copies left. Your “Twilight” collection is now up to date.

“Twilight Saga: New Moon” has been waited on by many people across the nation from Forks, WA to here in Clarion to be released on DVD since it was released in theaters in November 2009.

It was one of the highest grossing movies at the time in the theater and when “Twilight” came

out on DVD last year it sold three million copies on its first day. Critics think “Twilight Saga: New Moon” will sell better and become one of the highest grossing DVDs in awhile. It is only possible because of its large amount of fans that have followed the books and absolutely are in love with the series.

People are lining up at stores all across the nation. Fans waited hours in Greensboro, NC for the release. Fans were able to buy the collector’s edition gift set. Although most of the movie was shot in Oregon this time Forks, WA celebrated as if it was completely shot there when in fact only some parts were.

“Twilight” just seems to have so many fans though, that most stores across the nation that sell DVDs had lines they only had on big release, such as “Twilight Saga: New Moon.”

There’s only some slightly bad “New Moon” news. The deleted scenes Chris Weitz the director said would be on the DVD

are not on it. He did tell OK! magazine there is a deleted scene to look forward to eventually seeing featuring the now former Victoria, Rachelle Lefevre.

“She’s on her way to Forks, just generally being bad and killing the passenger of a very fast car.”

“Twilight” will continue to grow throughout the years guaranteed to take the spotlight that “Harry Potter” had once held for one too many years as it wines down to its last film.

The “Twilight Saga” still

has two more books, but are there just two more movies?

The rumor is that the last “Twilight” book “Breaking Dawn” will be made into two separate movies.

“Twilight Saga: Eclipse is currently set for an opening date of June 30 2010. Filming has already started on “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” and is expected to be released in the summer of 2011. So for now let us let the “New Moon” continue to rule as the best DVD out there in the shelves it is a must see.

New releases for Spring Logan Powell Entertainment Staff

Circa Survive Circa Survive, the experimental rock quintet from Philadelphia, is set to release its 3rd full-length album, “Blue Sky Noise,” on April 20.

The album will be their first major label release since signing on to Atlantic Records last year. It has been framed by the band as an entirely “new chapter.”

“Blue Sky Noise,” produced by three-time Grammy winner David Bottrill (King Crimson, Muse, Tool), will be the first release from the band in nearly three years and is an attempt by the band to explore different angles.

Full Steam Ahead performs an original song at the Clarion County Bluegrass Festival.

Blue grass grows in Clarion Clarion County’s Bluegrass Festival took place Friday March 18 through March 20 at the Holiday Inn in Clarion. All bands performing at the festival con-

tributed an original song to a Clarion County Bluegrass album, which was recorded live at the festival.

Some of the bands that performed at the festival

were Roadapple Ridge, The Pine Valley Boys, Allegheny Drifters and Sweet Clover. Another Clarion Bluegrass Festival is being planed for next year.

Cigar Box guitars were just some of the unique items featured at this years festival.

The Deftones’ have established themselves as one of the best hard rock bands of the past decade and are set to add their sixth full-length album “Diamond Eyes” to their impressive discography.

member, vocalist Anthony Green, has grown incredibly as a guitar player, which the band has said played a major role on the record.

The track “Get Out,” featured on the band’s Myspace, is the only song released so far and has a different sound in regard to their previous efforts.

The song is a straight-

forward rock song that is precise and calculated in its delivery.

The production is clear giving the song a “in you face” feeling, leading many old fans to wonder if Circa Survive will drop the ambient, more meandering approach their music is known for.

“Diamond Eyes” will be the first album released by the band since their bassist Chi Cheng has been in a coma from injuries suffered from an automobile accident in 2008.

After this tragedy the band decided to create an album with an overall posi-

tive and optimistic vibe.

Vocalist Chino Moreno described the album’s theme as a “positive zest for life.”

Two songs released from the album have been showcased on the band’s Myspace and have created much more anticipation for this album. “Rocket Skates” and radio single “Diamond Eyes” quickly captured the atmospheric and transient sound Deftones are famous for while capturing an edginess that remind older fans of the band’s older albums “White Pony” and “Around the Fur.” “Diamond Eyes” originally set to be released on May 18 has been pushed up two weeks to May 4, due to the album leaking online last week.

Moose Lodge to host Wild Game Dinner Sports Information The 12th annual Clarion University - George Garbarino Scholarship “Wild Game Event” is set for Saturday, March 27, at the Clarion Moose Lodge.

The event, sponsored

by S&T Bank, RRR Roadhouse, Eden Inc. and Fullington Trailways, benefits the George Garbarino Scholarship Endowment at Clarion University.

Tickets are available for the annual event and cost $100 per person, that includes happy hour, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, raffle tickets and a chance to bid on some great auction items.

Tickets can be purchased through Jim Thornton, the game event director, at Room 215 Tippin Gym. An additional $50 Early Bird ticket package is also available which makes you eligible for twice the number of raffle tickets. For more info call Thornton at 814-393-2456.

The Garbarino Endowment value right now stands at nearly $170,000, mostly from money raised from the game dinner. The game dinner was organized in 1999 by Thornton and raised $14,000 in its inaugural year.

“We are looking forward to another successful game dinner,” said Thornton.

“With the passing of Mr. Garbarino in July of 2007, the Game Dinner has taken on a special meaning to all of us associated with the event, as well as the entire Garbarino family.

The biggest thing is that we raise money in Mr. Garbarino’s name for athletic scholarships through the endowment. That makes the night complete.”

Track athlete sets school record Sports Information Kim Hanslovan broke the school record in the javelin, while Molly Smathers qualified for the PSAC Championships in the 5,000-meter run to highlight Clarion’s day at the Grove City Mini Meet Tuesday afternoon.

Softball splits double-header Sports Information The Clarion University softball team capped off its home-opening doubleheader in walk-off style beating Lake Erie College 5-4 on Carlie Cook’s one-out single to right-center field in Game Two to earn a split on Saturday at Memorial Field.

Nicole Lollo started the rally with a one-out hustling triple over the firstbase bag and scored when Cook delivered her third hit of the game.

The seventh-inning rally helped the Golden Eagles (2-7) get the split in the doubleheader after Lake Erie won Game One 10-4.

Clarion had the early advantage in Game Two scoring three times in the bottom of the first to erase a 1-0 deficit and then tacking on a run in the second to go ahead 4-1.

Clarion’s first three runs came thanks to four first-inning hits. Lollo and Randi Pace had RBI singles and Cook and run-producing double in the frame.

Corinna Sternthal then added an RBI single in the second to make it 4-1.

Daley got the win in relief allowing the one run, it was earned, on two hits and a walk. Erica Burkey started and went six innings allowing three runs, two earned, on nine hits and two walks.

Cook and Lollo led the offense with each going 3-for-4. Cook had the dou-

Rebecca Lynch chipped in a 2-for-3 game with a double and a run scored, while Nicole Lindner was 2-for-4 out of the leadoff spot with a run scored.

Clarion had 13 hits in the game, tying a season

high.

In Game One, Clarion led 3-1 after three innings before Lake Erie scored five times in the fourth and four more in the fifth to get the 10-4 win.

Burkey started and took the loss going 3 1/3 innings allowing six runs, all earned, on nine hits and two walks while striking

out two.

Daley finished off going 3 2/3 innings allowing four runs, two earned, on three hits and four walks while striking out two.

Kacie Nemeth led the Clarion offense going 2-for2 with her first career home run, and the first homer by a Golden Eagle this year, and a double.

She drove in three and scored twice. Cook was 1-for-4 with a double and two runs scored, while Sternthal was 1-for-4 with a run scored.

Tiffin topped Clarion in a non-conference softball doubleheader Sunday at Clarion winning by scores of 6-1 and 12-3.

In Game One, Tiffin built a 4-0 lead at the end of 2 ½ innings before Clarion scored an unearned run in the bottom of the third when Randi Pace came home when Carlie Cook reached on a two-out error.

Tiffin, though, added single runs in the fourth and fifth to pull away.

In the nightcap, Tiffin led 1-0 after three innings but scored 11 runs in the final three innings to end the game. That included four spots in both the fourth and sixth for the Dragons.

Clarion scored twice in the fourth, as Cook tripled home Lollo, who had singled with one out, and then scored on a ground out by Kacie Nemeth. The Golden Eagles then added a run in the sixth when Falicia Witmer tripled and came home on a Lollo groundout to second.

Erica Burkey took the loss going five-plus innings and allowing 10 runs, eight earned, on 11 hits and six walks while striking out four. Nemeth relieved in the sixth and pitched one inning allowing two runs on two hits and a walk.

ue to the bad field conditions at Clarion University, last Friday’s doubleheader was moved to Slippery Rock’s field.

The Golden Eagles had a hard time finding their rhythm as they fell to The Rock 15-0 and 6-0 respectively.

“Moving the game to Slippery Rock didn’t really factor in,” said sophomore catcher Ken Morgan.

“We had just as many fans there as they did. The scores don’t reflect our potential to be good.”

Slippery Rock jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first game on a home run by Nick Caito.

After letting up another run in the third, Clarion pitcher Erik Panko gave up his second home run of the day, this time to Matt Kosik.

The game stayed close until the sixth inning, when Slippery Rock erupted for 11 runs in the inning.

Slippery Rock was able to bat around the order and seemed to get every timely hit they needed. After the long, restless inning for Clarion, they found themselves down 14-0.

Slippery Rock added another run in the seventh to take the 15-0 victory.

Panko took the loss for the Golden Eagles, while junior shortstop Dane Dobson led Clarion with a 2-2 day at the plate.

Clarion was looking for redemption in the second game of the doubleheader but found them in the same position.

Slippery rock got off to another early start as they plated two runs in the first inning to take an early lead.

With the Golden Eagles bats still asleep, The Rock took advantage scoring two more runs in the second.

With Clarion not even threatening to score, Slippery Rock took the easy victory, 6-0.

Even though he pitched a complete game, junior Gregg Bandzuh took the loss allowing 6 runs on 11 hits, two walks and six strikeouts.

Sophomore third baseman was the only one hitting for the Golden Eagles as he went 2-3 on the day.

Clarion was back at Slippery Rock on Saturday afternoon for another doubleheader.

After being shutout in both games on Friday, Clarion was eager to get some runs on the board.

Clarion showed they were ready to play as they came out and put a run on the board in the first inning.

Sophomore second basemen Jason Krimsky led off the game with a single.

White then was able to steal second base. After a walk to Dobson and a sacrifice bunt by Berkes, Jason Krimsky plated Clarion’s first run on a single.

With both pitchers cruising, Slippery Rock finally cracked the scoreboard in

Clarion quickly retook the lead in the next inning on a sacrifice fly by junior Nate Weiss.

After retying the game, The Rock took the lead on a Matt Howard home run, before scoring the winning run on an error.

Clarion tacked on a run in the seventh on a Sean Zimmerman double, but

it was too little too late, as Clarion fell 4-3. Sophomore pitcher Brandon Slater took the loss going five innings, allowing four runs on five hits, and two strikeouts.

Leading Clarion offensively was Berkes going 2-3 and Morgan going 3-4 on the game.

“Our offense has been spotty lately,” said Morgan. “I know that our

bats will start heating up again.”

With one game remaining in the series, Clarion was looking to come up with their first win.

They would not have much luck as Slippery Rock once again made easy work of Clarion with a 10-2 victory. Berkes had his worst outing of the year going one inning, while allowing eight runs on eight

hits. Offensively, Krimsky recorded both RBI’s for the Golden Eagles.Clarion will have a long week of practices after their doubleheader on Tuesday was cancelled due to rain against Point Park University.

The Golden Eagles will return to action on Friday as they travel to California University of Pennsylvania for a doubleheader staring at 1 p.m.

Clarion’s Hanslovan: PSAC track athlete of the week Sports Information

Sports

March 25, 2010 The Clarion Call

larion University junior Kim Hanslovan was named the PSAC Women’s Track Athlete of the Week Tuesday after an NCAA Provisional qualifying javelin throw Saturday at California Univeristy’s “Cal U. Early Bird Meet.”

Hanslovan throw covered a distance of 140 feet, 8 inches, which was the top throw in the PSAC by over 13 feet and the fourth-best in the NCAA Division II. Her throw was just over a foot away from being the second-best throw in the nation, and it was the best throw nationwide for the weekend.

Tuesday at Grove City, which didn’t count toward Athlete of the Week, Hanslovan bettered the throw heaving the javelin a schoolrecord 146 feet, 4 inches topping the previous school mark of 145-8 set by Julie Evenoski in 2003.

Hanslovan is the first Golden Eagle to be named Field Athlete of the Week since Carrie Bullman won the award April 10, 2002. Clarion has had numerous Track Athletes of the Week since then.

Wrestlers compete at Nationals Jennifer Dailey Sports Staff

Golden Eagles wrestlers senior Hadley Harrison and freshman James Fleming both went 0-2 at the NCAA Division I Nationals last week after both previously finished second at the Eastern Western League’s Championship earlier in the month.

Harrison lost his first match in the 157-pound

bracket to Northern Colorado’s Justin Gaethje.

After taking a 2-0 lead early in the match, Harrison would go on to lose 5-4 in the final seconds, giving Gaethje the win.

He would go on to wrestle Indiana’s Kurt Kinser in the wrestle backs and lost 5-1.

Harrison, a three-year captain, finished the season at 38-11 and ended his career with a record of 10256.

Reaching 100 wins for a wrestler in college is a milestone and Harrison now ranks 18th all-time on the win list at Clarion University.

Going into nationals, Harrison was ranked 13th

by Intermat and 15th by the AWN. He finished 2nd at the EWL’s, 3rd at the PSAC’s, and 7th at Midlands.

Fleming lost 3-2 in a close match in the first round at 149-pounds to

American University’s Kyle Borshoff.

After finishing the second period tied 2-2, but Borshoff took the lead once again in the third period for the win.

Then in the wrestle backs he lost 8-3 to Trenton Washington of Northern Iowa.

In his freshman year, Fleming went 28-8 and was ranked 17th by both the AWN and Intermat heading into nationals.

Fleming finished 2nd at the EWL’s, 4th at the PSAC’s, and had a 5-2 record at Midlands this season.

The Golden Eagles wrestling team had a successful season this year finishing with a .500 record at 8-8 for the first time in a few years.

They will be returning next season with all by two seniors, Harrison and Greg Lewis.

Hudson, McCann carry Braves past Phillies 8-0 AP Exchange Tim Hudson looks to be ready for the regular season. So does Braves batterymate Brian McCann.

“I don’t think either one needs any more spring training,” Atlanta third baseman Chipper Jones said.

Hudson allowed three hits over six scoreless innings and McCann hit two home runs as the Braves defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 8-0 on Wednesday.

“His ball was sinking

like crazy,” Braves manager Bobby Cox said. “He had a great outing.”

Hudson, out until September last season after undergoing reconstructive elbow surgery, is 3-1 with a 1.35 ERA in five starts this spring. He struck out four and walked two in his 81-pitch outing.

“Everything felt really good,” said Hudson.

So did McCann’s swing, which he has been finetuning to add quickness through the zone. He didn’t have any trouble catching up with either of the

fastballs he connected on against Phillies left-hander J.A. Happ.

The left-handed swinger hit a mammoth homer over a TV production truck behind the right-field fence leading off the second inning, then connected again against Happ for a long two-run homer to rightcenter in the fourth inning.

McCann was 3 for 4, raising his average to .483, and his four RBI gave him 13 this spring. The catcher also had two homers in a game against Houston on March 14.

Happ, who was 12-4 a year ago and finished second in NL rookie of the year voting, also allowed a home run to Martin Prado in his five-inning outing.

He allowed six hits and four runs, walking three and striking out three. His ERA is 3.18.

Prado’s homer was his second of the spring and his 2-for-4 game raised his average to .378.

Placido Polanco had two of Philadelphia’s three hits, including a double.

The other hit was a single

by Jimmy Rollins to start

the game.

Hudson’s next scheduled outing is Monday when the Braves also play the Phillies. He may pitch in a minor league game that day rather than face the NL East rival in back-to-back spring starts.

Hudson, who has a 14878 career record, is scheduled to start the Braves’ fourth game of the season on April 9 in San Francisco.

“He looks great,” McCann said. “He’s putting his pitches right where he wants them.”
