Bloomsburg University’s Model United Nations
attends weekend conference in nation’s capital
BY RACHEL YOUNG
Contributing Writer
Bloomsburg
University’s
Model United Nations attended
the annual National Model
United Nations Conference in
Washington, D.C. last weekend.
Bloomsburg
represented the nations Iran and
Israel at the three-day conference, where members were
able to work with each other to
pass resolutions and come up
with new policies pertaining to
various global issues.
Students traveled from colleges all over the country and
the world to attend the conference in Washington, D.C.
There were an estimated 500
participants, the highest turnout
the conference has ever seen.
BU sent a diverse group of men
and women with 15 students
total, including one from
Bangladesh and another from
Saudi Arabia.
The group started out the
event with an opening conference, followed by meeting
other delegations from other
countries, according to Jaimie
Hoffman, BU’s Model UN
president. She said the experience was similar to what a real
United Nations conference
would be like.
“There were a lot of disputes
between countries, but that
happens just like in the real
UN. It gives us a really good
experience,” said Hoffman.

year, including the National
Model United Nations-Asian
Pacific Economic Cooperation
Conference, also held in
Washington, D.C. in April. Dr.
Abdullah Al-Bahrani, the
group’s advisor, said the
group’s experience at the conference this weekend was not
only an educational one, but it
was also a great way for students to network.
“It reflects great on your
resume if you’ve been involved
with the Model UN,” said Dr.
Al-Bahrani. “It opens up new
opportunities, and you’re meeting people. Students are able to
walk up to another person and
say, ‘Hey, I’m Iran,’ and that
breaks the ice.”
Matt Albertson, a SOLVE
office Model UN member, said
he took advantage of the networking opportunity by interacting with people from different universities.
“I did hand out a few business cards. Whether I am able
to connect with people on
LinkedIn or even socially on
Facebook, it’s always good
because as we know, networking provides you an excellent
opportunity for a job in a hard
economy like we’re in now,”
said Albertson.
Albertson explained that new
members were able to learn a
lot about the ins and outs of
Model UN by being paired up
with an experienced member.
He said the newcomers took
more initiative as they started
to feel more comfortable, and
that they found the experience
to be an enjoyable one.
“A lot of our rookies really
had a great time down there.
It’s a moving experience. When
you spend about 15 hours on a
single topic and you’re really
into it and time just flies, you
don’t have enough time to really put in all the effort you want

to put in,” said Albertson.
Dr. Al-Bahrani also emphasized the learning experience
students were able to receive
through delegations and conferences.
“The students learned a lot,
and you could see how their
views of the international
world changed really after this
conference, to know how complicated it is to get policy out. I
think they appreciate the existence of the UN even more,”
said Dr. Al-Bahrani.
Hoffman echoed Dr. AlBahrani’s statement, explaining
the knowledge of other countries she had gained. She also
said she gained a new insight
into the advantages United
States students have over students from other countries.
“You get to learn the views of
other countries. It makes you
realize a lot of issues that the
world has, and how countries
work together or don’t work
together. It makes you realize
all the things the United States
and our colleges have to offer
that other countries don’t, and
how lucky we are to have those
things,” said Hoffman.
Albertson explained that
while some universities experienced problems interacting
professionally with other colleges, BU acted responsibly
and courteously the entire time.
“Our professionalism was
high and I believe we represented Bloomsburg to the best
of
our
abilities,”
said
Albertson.
Dr. Al-Bahrani said that his
knowledge of the Model UN
was very limited before he took
on his role as advisor in
January. He explained the real
reason he took the position was
his seeing the dedication of the
group’s members.
“My job as an advisor is to
highlight all the work that these
students do because they work
really hard,” said Dr. AlBahrani. “The students that
tend to be in the Model UN are
usually hardworking, professional students.”
Albertson said the group’s
purpose is not just to have fun,
but to get college students to
learn things they might not
have otherwise. In the spring,
the Model UN takes the knowledge they gathered from their
bi-annual conferences and uses
the information to mentor highschool model UN students.
“People say we’re just playing games, but it’s definitely
generating a better view of the
world,” said Albertson. “We’re
creating better world citizens in
the Model UN and I firmly
believe that.”

Bullying has received considerable amounts of media
coverage in the past few years,
and suicides because of bullying have played a large role in
this.
As part of a national campaign to raise awareness for
anti-bullying against LGBT
youth, many Bloomsburg students and faculty wore purple
on Spirit Day, October 20,
2011.
Luis Medina, a Bloomsburg
University graduate student,
set up a display outside the
Student Services Center,
which included pictures as a
memorial of young men and
women from who committed
suicide as a result of being
bullied because of their sexuality.
“Today is Spirit Day in
remembrance of LGBT teen
suicides,” said Medina. “We
may be aware of it, but they
just saw this as their only
option to escape.”
On Medina's posters, portraits of those who have been
bullied into taking their own
lives serve as a reminder of
how bullying affects students
who are sometimes still in elementary or middle school.
“One of the youngest students was 11 years old,” said
Medina. “You'd be surprised
that an 11-year-old can do this.
It's hard to understand.”
Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover,
a
young
man
from
Massachusetts who committed
suicide in 2009 after being
bullied at school on a daily
basis, was the 11-year-old student. Walker-Hoover was bullied at school, and did not even
identify himself as gay, but
was bullied because he was
perceived to be gay by his
classmates. Walker-Hoover's
mother even addressed the
issue repeatedly with school
administrators, but her pleas
did little to curb the daily
taunts and harassment her son
endured.
Although most of the students pictured on Medina's
posters were national cases,
the issue of anti-gay bullying
has showed up locally within
the past year.
“We have one local student,
Brandon Bitner,” said Medina.
“He walked miles from his
home, and jumped in front of a
tractor trailer.”
On November 5, 2010,
Bitner, a freshman at MiddWest High School in
Middleburg, Pa., committed
suicide because he was bullied
for his sexuality, and for the

GDP: Good Expectations For Growth
BY NEIL IRWIN
The Washington Post
The third quarter was a rough one. Between
July and September, the United States' credit
rating was downgraded, Europe teetered on
the brink of catastrophe, and the financial
markets entered a dangerously volatile phase.
Yet it appears to have been the strongest
quarter yet for overall U.S. economic growth
this year, according to projections for a key
indicator due out Thursday morning.
Forecasters expect that gross domestic
product rose at a 2.5 percent annual rate in the
third quarter. That would be the highest
growth rate in a year and would trump the 0.7
percent average pace of growth over the first
half of 2011. The Commerce Department will
release its first estimate of the number at 8:30
a.m.
There is reason to think that the rate from
earlier in the year overstated the weakness of
the U.S. economy and that a higher third-quar-
Friday, Oct. 28
ter number could simply be a rebound effect.
Auto production ramped up in the third quarter, for example, as the supply chains that
were disrupted by the Japanese earthquake in
the spring reopened. And trade data got a
boost from the lower price of imported oil.
Still, the 2.5 percent expectation reflects an
economy that, for all its challenges, doesn't
appear to be falling off a cliff. Though it also
shows the diminished economic expectations
of the post-crisis age: It implies that the
nation's economy is growing only about as
fast as the economy is capable of in the longer
term. But it's not fast enough to claw out of
the deep hole of 9 percent unemployment. In
other words, even the best quarter for gains in
a year — and one that benefited from some
onetime factors — isn't strong enough to bring
down unemployment meaningfully even if it
were sustained.

GDP is the broadest measure of economic
activity, but it is also inherently backwardlooking. There's a lag of nearly a month
between the end of the quarter and the initial
release of data, which in turn is revised twice.
So, to get a sense of what the economy will
look like going forward, it's worth focusing on
the details of Thursday's report.
It would be a good sign if growth was driven by consumer spending, exports and business investment in equipment and software.
All would imply underlying momentum in key
longer-term drivers of economic gain.
But if the growth in GDP was driven by rising inventories or declining imports, the outlook would weaken. Falling imports could
reflect a mix of lower energy prices and more
cautious U.S. consumers. Higher business
inventory could mean that sales have been disappointing and that production will slow.

The good news is that forecasters are projecting that that those details will turn out to
bode well for the future. The consensus is that
personal consumption expenditures, the
largest single component of GDP, rose at a 1.9
percent annual rate in the third quarter.
One

firm,
Macroeconomic Advisers projects that exports
rose at a 6.1 percent annual rate, with a 1.3
percent rise in imports. Business spending on
equipment and software is forecast to have
risen at a 16.9 percent rate.
The pullback in government spending, however, is predicted to have been a drag on
growth. Macroeconomic projects that government spending fell at an 0.8 percent annual
rate.

“Bullying” continued from page one
Gay students are subject to an overwhelming
amount of bullying, and anti-gay bullying can
have devastating psychological affects.
According to an article in “Counseling Today”,
homophobic and anti-gay slurs, such as “faggot”
and “sissy” are heard by gay students 26 times
each day, or once every 14 minutes.
“These are students that had enough and
thought that suicide was the only answer to their
problems because no one was listening,” said
Medina. “Basically what I'm doing is I want you
to stand up and sign a pledge against bullying,
and against hate. I've been getting a lot of signatures.”
“Sadly, we're not doing enough or something is
not working because we just keep hearing about
these new ones, and they're still committing suicide,” said Medina. “I try to raise awareness by
direct action and I also speak in grad courses
about bullying, and how as a guidance counselor
you can help these students.”

Fantastic Four
Four BU professors
receive Provost’s Award
BY JOSEPH FISHER
Features Editor
Four Bloomsburg University
professors from four different
departments were recently honored with the Provost’s Award.
Jeffrey Brunskill, professor of
Geography and Geoscience;
Sheng Ding, associate professor of Political Science;
Christian Grandzol, associate
professor of Management; and
Deborah Stryker, assistant professor of Exceptionalities and
Deaf/ Hard of Hearing, are the
2011 recipients of the prestigious award.
This award is given to
untenured
professors
for
Excellence in Research and
Scholarly Activity.
Brunskill received the award
for working on a few things.
Since 2007, he has been working on a weather terminology
project. He is researching and
finding out how different temperature terms are used in society.
Brunskill is also working on
a weather visualization project
called BU Weather Viewer in
conjunction with Curt Jones in
the mathematics department.
Lastly, Brunskill has been
working on a geographic information system (GIS) – resembling something like Google
Maps. This project is geared
toward students. Students have
the opportunity for research
and to get hands on experience
with this.
Professor Ding, of the political science department, said “[I
have] one sole-authored book,
five sole-authored journal
entries, three co-authored journal entries, [and] five soleauthored book chapters”. All of
these publications have been
done since 2006, when Ding
joined Bloomsburg University.
Ding is interested in soft power
and foreign policy, Asian politics, United States and China
relations, and diasporaic politics.
“The enthusiasm and interest
generated by my students’
research encouraged me to
organize a university-wide student colloquium on the U.S.China relations in the Fall 2008
semester. Currently, I am
actively preparing for the second
student
colloquium,
‘Building an Understanding
Bridge across the Pacific
Ocean: A
S t u d e n t
Colloquium on the U.S.-East
Asia relations,’ which is scheduled on Dec. 6, 2011,” Ding
said.
When asked about his
accomplishments, Grandzol
said, “For me, these [accomplishments] include authoring
and co-authoring multiple
research papers in the last few
years, attending and presenting
at local, national, and international conferences, refereeing
other scholars’ work for journals, serving as a track co-chair
for a regional conference, and
earning a professional certification in Production and
Inventory
Management.”
Grandzol says when writing for
a journal it can be “an extensive
process.” “The process usually
takes one or more years,”
Grandzol added.
Professor Grandzol is interested in lean manufacturing,
leadership, online learning, college student development, and
pedagogy. He says, “My particular interest is in studying factors that drive business
improvement in the operations
and supply chain areas and providing
evidence-based
approaches to improve the
teaching of those factors.”
Dr. Stryker, who teaches
exceptionalities and deaf/hard
of hearing here at Bloomsburg,
has produced 18 journals in
conjunction with other scholars. She has written for national, state, and local journals and
has presented at numerous conferences. With her $1000 prize
Stryker says, “I will be presenting data collected in collaboration with the NWSFHIC at the
American Speech-Language
Associate (ASHA) convention
in San Diego and the money
will go toward travel expenses.” Stryker says, “[I am interested in] improving the literacy
achievement of DHH children
and adolescents and exploring
distance education opportunities to prepare future teachers
of DHH children.”
One thousand dollars was
awarded to each winner for
educational and developmental
purposes. Brunskill, who has
been working on a weather terminology project, aimed at
studying how weather terms
are used in society and their
meanings, will use his money
to fund more research. The
other recipients have used the
money or will be using the
money to attend conferences
and cover research material and
travel expenses.
All the recipients of the
award are happy to be teaching
at Bloomsburg University.
Brunskill says, “My department is great…the opportunity
to teach both meteorology and
GIS classes is great. I also love
that I am able to work with colleagues in various disciplines
throughout campus.”
Ding says, “The biggest fun
is to interact with and help
those students who are curious
and eager to learn…I must
teach my students how to apply
their classroom knowledge to
solve concrete and real-world
problems and nurture each student’s latent desire to learn. “
Grandzol, of the management department said, “I particularly enjoy the teaching portion of my job at BU. I find students are generally interested in
learning for learning’s sake and
to prepare themselves for
future careers and their contribution to society.”
Stryker ended by saying, “I
work with very supportive colleagues here within my exceptionalities programs department as well as colleagues from
across the university, from staff
to administration.”
Bloomsburg Flood Buddies
to host Halloween Zumba
Fitness Event
The Bloomsburg Flood Buddies will be hosting a Zumba® Fitness dance event, at
Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania’s
Recreation Center on Sunday, Oct. 30, from 4
to 6 p.m. Participants are encouraged to wear
an appropriate costume of their choice, and
healthy snacks and refreshments will be provided at the event. All proceeds collected by this
event will be given to children from the
Bloomsburg Area School District who were
affected or displaced by the flood and their families.
Members of Richard Ganahl’s senior level
public relations class and the Bloomsburg Area
High School National Honor Society members
have joined forces to become the Bloomsburg
Flood Buddies, a student-run group with the
main goal of raising money for the flood victims. This Zumba® Fitness event marks the
second fund-raising effort put together by the
Flood Buddies in order to raise money and
awareness for the families affected by the flood.
“This event will offer students of all ages a
great and easy chance to help the community,
while still getting a great workout and staying
healthy,” said Jessica Ames, a senior at BU and
member of the Flood Buddies.
“It’s been really great to see everything moving along so quickly, and hopefully we [the
Flood Buddies] can keep the momentum going
with these events. The quicker we put our ideas
into motion, the quicker we can raise money for
these kids and families, and that is the main
goal,” said Amanda Whitford, also a BU senior
and member of the Flood Buddies team.
Those interested in the event can pre-register
with the class instructor, Dawn Burt, via her
Facebook page, starting Monday, Oct. 24, for a
special price of $15 for two people and $10 for
one person. Those that do not pre-register will
pay $10 per person at the door, without the twoperson deal. Dawn will accept credit cards,

Zumbathon raises money
for Breast Cancer 5K
BY GABBY VIELHAUER
Assistant News Editor
Last Saturday evening, the
Bloomsburg
Multicultural
Office with the assistant of the
Student Recreation Center
hosted
the
first
“Zumbathon®” program to
benefit the up and coming
Breast Cancer 5K. While there
were other Zumbathons® held
last year, this is the first event
such as this specifically for the
annual 5K.
But whose idea was it to
sponsor such an event? Dawn
Burt, the Zumba® fitness
instructor at the Rec Center,
had discussed the idea of a
Zumbathon® as a promotional
event for the 5K with the
director of Multicultural
Affairs, Madelyn Rodriguez
some time last year.
Jen Hunsinger, graduate student assistant to Rodriguez,
was responsible for planning
this event, but also rereived
tremendous support from other
contributing individuals.
“Dawn Burt was pivotal in
making the program a success,
she stated in an interview,
“She made it really easy to put
everything together.” Despite
Burt’s crucial role in making
the program a success, it was
considered by Hunsinger a
team effort. She continued to
address the work of other
organizations such as Res Life,
the Communications department, and the custodial staff
for their willingness to help
the cause.
All of the 50 participants,
who happened to be female,
came to the event and stayed
for the intensive, two-hour

was collected from the participants at the door. All the proceeds will be combined with

so you can hear the group next
door most of the time. That is a
distraction when we are trying to
get work done.
Aside from lack of workspace,
the library does not always serve
as a quiet learning environment.
People talk on cell phones or conversing with other friends in
places where they are not supposed to be. This is a distraction.
Although college-aged students
are supposed to be mature about
taking others’ feelings into consideration, it does not always happen. There needs to be stronger
enforcement from library staff on
chatting in the library.
We at The Voice believe that
those in charge of making the library a great place need to be
proactive about solving some of
the problems that concern its students. The problems can be fixed
fairly easily with a little planning,
and by talking with students about
what upsets those individuals
most.
Campuses in Pennsylvania like
Pennsylvania State University and
Temple University have library
hours until 2:00 a.m. This would
seem like a great solution to the
overcrowding problem. We at The
Voice believe that with extended
hours, the number of people in the
library at a given time would
spread out, alleviating the masses
of people at the library at peak
hours. The possibility of a 24
hour library with a card swipe to
get in would even be a suggestion.
Opening up the library 24/7 would
allow students to access their
needs anytime, any day.
The computers in the library
need to be more proficient. The
long wait to sign on and to use applications on the computers provided to students can be
excruciating. If computers operated a little faster, visitors could be
in and out in a more timely fashion.
Lastly, more space in the library
and around campus needs to be
dedicated to study rooms for
groups. Some space on the first
floor could even be directed toward group rooms. Being as popular as they are, there are not
enough of them. We at The Voice
also believe that placing group
study rooms in different buildings
around campus would be a viable
as well. For each major, there
should be a few rooms dedicated
to students.
The university needs to realize
that this problem has been going
on for some time. Now would be a
great time to start making some
changes to diminish some of the
stress this puts on students. We at
The Voice are just asking for a little library reform to make
Bloomsburg University a better
place for students.

Virtually every student has used
the Andruss Library for some reason or another, during his or her
time here at Bloomsburg University, whether to check out a book
for pleasure or research, meet up
with a group to work on a project,
print a PowerPoint lecture before
class, or simply to kill time. Forthrightly, the library on campus is
too congested. With over 10,000
people including undergraduate
and graduate students, faculty and
staff, and residents from the town
of Bloomsburg, more space must
be dedicated to the area on campus where resources and information are conveniently located.
We at The Voice know what it is
like to spend an ample amount of
time looking for a workstation.
We walk through every floor seeing students on Facebook and
other social networking sites,
when all we want to do is get
some schoolwork done. Isn’t that
what a library is supposed to be
for? It happens to a good deal of
people. So the question is, why is
there not more space dedicated to
the library? With the growing
campus population, it is of concern that there is not enough space
on campus for students to get
work done.

Kidnapped for Cash
Examining mentally disabled prisoners of basement
What if someone was being
held captive in a basement, so
that the captor could collect their
social security checks? These individuals kidnap somebody to
receive money from them or
their families. This scenario is in
fact real, and happens everyday,
as three people were recently arrested for the entrapment of four
developmentally disabled people, who were constrained to a
basement for a long time. This
included three women and one
man between the ages of 29 to
41.
Kidnapping is illegal and
somebody could spend serious
time behind bars because of it.
We all have a family. We all have
people that care about us. I do
not understand how someone
could take another human being
out of the care of their family and
friends all for monetary gain, or
prejudices against disabled people.
Money is not everything.
Sure, it could buy us a jet ski, but

Barbie was first made as a transition from paper and infant dolls into
something new that children could play with. Ruth and Elliot Handler were
the founders of this doll when the idea emerged from watching their daughter Barbara play with paper dolls and giving them adult roles. Ruth had the
idea of making a doll that was an adult figure and found her vision while in
Europe when she spotted the Bild Lilli doll, which was similar to what she
had in mind. The first Barbie came out in March of 1959, which was more
than 50 years ago. Quickly thereafter Barbie became a cultural icon and
something that every little girl had to have. Mattel has since then come out
with many different styles of Barbie, which led to many controversies over
the years.
Barbie was ultimately scaled to be 11.5 inches tall (5 foot 9 inches if she
were real), and given her measurements she would weigh 110 pounds. This
caused issues with many people who believed that Barbie was teaching
young girls they should be that skinny. Now remember this is a doll children play with, who cares that much to scale her to if she were human and
complain about those measurements? Mattel’s response to this was widening her hips and hoping that would make the doll look more “realistic.”
Rather than the physicality of the doll, the different styles that Mattel
came out with turned out to be very controversial to many. Mattel signed a
deal with Nabisco in which they would create a Barbie that promoted their
company. With this, they decided to make an Oreo cookie doll since that
was “America’s Favorite Cookie.” They had a Barbie with black skin; Oreo
decorated blue clothing, and a bag the shape of an Oreo cookie. People decided this was racist because they figured Mattel was using a derogatory
word in the African American community; Oreo as someone who was black
on the outside, white on the inside just like the cookie itself. Mattel’s intentions were that of making a Barbie that would help out Nabisco; they had
no intentions of being racist at all. The Barbie ended up not making much
profit and Mattel was forced to take it off the shelves.
The company’s next idea was to make Barbie’s best friend Midge, who
happened to be pregnant and have a baby in her stomach that you could
take out and put back in. The idea was to give children a look into what is
in the stomach of a woman who is pregnant. But of course people took it
the wrong way and decided that it was immoral to sell Midge without a father figure. The thing is that Barbie was almost always sold individually unless there was a pet or baby involved. At least Mattel didn’t make a doll
that could breastfeed; everyone would have something to say about that as
well.
Mattel also came out with a Barbie that was handicapped and sat in a
wheelchair. Soon a teenager with cerebral palsy playing with the doll said
that the wheelchair could not fit into the elevator in Barbie’s house and
everyone began complaining about this. Next, a Muslim Barbie was released wearing a hijab. Mattel thought this would show a different side of
the doll and give those with other beliefs like Muslims to like the doll. Consequently, Muslims found the doll to be a disgrace and it was banned from
many of their countries. Lastly, the video girl Barbie was featured with a
necklace that had a video camera installed in it that would allow for up to
30 minutes of video recording. Shortly after this doll was released in July
of 2010 the FBI issued a warning that this doll could be used to produce
child pornography. Although, the FBI had no reported evidence that this
crime has ever happened. All of this is quite melodramatic for just a doll that
was produced for children to play with. Nobody has ever complained about
Bratz dolls and they are called brats. Wouldn’t you be insisting your kid
was a brat if they had this doll? Come on…
The most recent issue with Barbie is the newly released tattooed Barbie
who comes with tattoos across her left arm, chest and neck. As soon as this
doll was released, parents were enraged that she was covered in tattoos.
They claimed that Barbie having tattoos is going to influence their children
to get a tattoo in some way. Most children stop playing with Barbies when
they are around the age of 12. After this they find the doll to be stupid, and
not worth their time because they acquire new interests. Now think about
it; we have to be 18 years of age to legally get a tattoo and most children
stop playing with dolls around age 12 or so. Do the math.
All in all, Mattel’s main idea was to make a doll that children could play
with, and as the world advanced, Mattel tried to do the same by making
different styles of dolls. Who are we to judge Barbie’s different styles when
all people around the world have different styles that a Barbie may contain

that they could have died. I can
never understand how an individual, let alone a group of people, could think that this is
correct and rational to do. I feel
they don’t even ponder the consequences that could transpire

How would these suspects
feel if they were the victims,
beaten, trapped, and malnourished? All they seemed to care
about was the money that would

Receiving 10,000 submissions in the past three months,
Hunter Moore created a manipulative and conniving porn site.
This website contains naughty

people leaving nothing to the

Say no to Mexico’s
two year marriage
‘proposal’
“I, take you, for my lawful wedded wife/husband, to have and to hold,
from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in
sickness and health, ‘until two years from today’ do us part."
While these vows might sound strange, they could soon become the
norm in Mexico if its current marriage proposal is accepted.
Last month, the country proposed a two-year marriage license that
would allow couples to marry for a mere two years, rather than for life.
This temporary commitment would allow the couple, at the end of the
two-year term, to have the choice to either renew the marriage or part
by going their separate ways.
Leonel Luna, the Mexico City assemblyman who co-authored the
bill, said implementing the bill would prevent couples from “going
through the tortuous process of divorce.” Currently, approximately half
of all marriages in Mexico end in divorce, often within the first two
years.
The introduction of the two-year marriage would likely decrease the
number of divorces, but it would change the entire meaning of marriage. Marriage is designed to be a lifelong commitment that binds two
deeply-in-love individuals together as one; not a temporary arrangement that encourages individuals to take the easy way out. The twoyear marriage contradicts the purpose of marriage, as it diminishes the
importance of commitment in the relationship and encourages individuals to end a relationship, rather than put in the work to maintain it.
It is understandable that government officials are seeking to find a
solution to the increasing divorce rates. Divorce is a big problem, not
just in Mexico but also throughout the world. However, a two-year marriage is not the answer. Instead, government officials should concentrate on educating the population about marriage and discourage couples
from rushing into a marriage agreement. True love will wait.
Couples, who believe they are ready to pledge themselves to each
other, should be encouraged to, if not required to, enroll in a marriage
class, which will teach the couple how to listen to one another and communicate effectively. Learning the proper communication techniques
can improve the relationship and deepen the connection between both
individuals, thus keeping the love alive and in turn decreasing divorce
rates in a more ethical way.
Even if Mexico gets down on one knee and gives the most romantic
‘proposal,’ hopefully there will still be no “I do” from the majority. Marriage is not supposed to be here today, gone tomorrow. Marriage is
meant to be for life.

Media today unpluggs us from
one-on-one interactions
The outside world in this era
seems all too close. News of
Moammar Gadhafi’s death,
within minutes, Osama Bin
Laden Seal Team Six mission
breakdown within days of his
capture on television, news and
figures of fatalities during a
skirmish in Somalia minutes
after its conclusion are some of
the story lines we hear through
Twitter, Facebook, and other
quick to the point news outlets.
Social networks and media as a
whole have brought us systematically closer to one another
by the touch of a button.
Cell phones are now staples
and house phones are becoming obsolete, being used less
and less, and to be replaced altogether. Some landlines will
still exist, but they will cease to
be the dominant facet in every
household that they once were.
With the world being more accessible to our minds and our
feelings, what are we losing in
return for the information overload?
Does constant news bombardment of atrocities in
Northern Africa and some parts
of Asia lead us into a pseudo
depression of complacency or
a depression that fuels revolution across the globe? Do we
lose simple communication
skills with the closest of friends
in exchange for text messages?
Early on, the Northern Africa
Revolution was credited,
somewhat to social media.
People are communicating
their outrage with dignitaries in
all spectrums of the world. Occupy Wall Street, the fad revolution against the 1 percent rich
in America is probably done
through some sort of simple
communication that once wasn’t possible. Revolutions and
protests are different in the fact
that they ultimately and eventually stand for something
more civil or less violent, while
the other is ugly with gore
filled anger from the working
or suppressed class in their respective area. The problem or
trend is social media’s infancy.
Social media has been
around for less than a decade,
give or take a few years, fueling some of the most progressive revolutions collegiate
level adults have been able to
remember. Our oratory skills
may lack because of a scarcity
in one on one conversation, but
our informed brain will continue to remain active and reactive.
The infant stage in which so-
cial media is in scares me in a
way unexplainable. Tibetan
monks in Southern China, Israel/Palestine clashes Libya
revolution, Somalia dismay
(still…), and Syria are all regions being exposed because of
these news outlets helping us
notice the obvious issue at
hand. As I was writing this I
got notifications of the following: a 5.2 magnitude Earthquake in Fukushima Prefecture
in Japan, a prison riot in Van
Turkey due to earthquake aftershock, England Soccer Captain John Terry’s alleged racist
abuse against opponents, Former Connecticut Advertising
Executive convicted of kidnapping ex-wife is burning down
his home, 85 arrested for their
participation in Occupy Oakland. I wrote this article in 40
minutes, and in 40 minutes all
of those ‘things’ occurred like
a sneeze.
Information is flying in at
every second, coming from all
corners of the globe. We read it
and then we move on. In other
places, they read it and react.
Fueled by suppression and
anger, these revolutions and
protests are nothing compared
to what is in front of us. These
revolutionary information over-
loads will leave us informed in
the grand scheme, but we will
lose the diplomacy between
one another if we don’t stop
once in a while, act or speak on
what we stand for, which is my
case in point.
Are we efficient enough with
our technology so that a needed
change in any sort of sector is
weeks or months away, or is
that too ambitious? Personally,
we are not as connected as we
used to be, but globally we are
more in touch with the other
continents and people than ever
before. The machines we have,
cell phones, computers, blue
tooth, etc. help us become
more reactive and dynamic in
society though lacking in a
simple “Hey how was your accounting exam that you studied
for while I got drunk?” type of
conversation.
Once all of the out of touch
countries connect with “us”
and others, the future is
unimaginable, but progressive
at such a scale that no one can
imagine the tranquility, efficiency, or chaos that ensues.

Art majors deserve
less criticisim
Painting, drawing, cutting, sewing, taking pictures, or designing: these are all things an art major lives for. Here at Bloomsburg, a lot of students think being an art major is an easy way out.
But hold on for a second. How many have actually taken an art
class? I’m not talking about high school art; I mean classes like
Film Photography, Fabric Design, or Printmaking.
Some may argue that I am saying art is a harder major than subjects like biology, psychology, or business, but I am not. I believe
that each of these subjects are difficult in their own way.
Art is difficult in a different aspect. Instead of tests, we prepare
for critiques. A critique is when we have our assignment ready for
review in front of the class.
For a critique in photo class, we have to come up with an idea
and then take all the pictures around a central theme. Taking a
shoot can range anywhere from an hour to three or four. But it
doesn’t stop there. Once our film is completed we have to develop
it, which takes about an hour if everything goes right. Next, after
our film dries we cut up the negatives and slide them into the
holder. Being ready to print we head to the dark room.
Making prints is an extremely long process, starting with the
machine we have to use to make prints to the six-step process we
use to develop them. After making what seems to be hundreds of
test prints we can make a big print. Many times we then find dirt
on our print or have to alter something. This job is tedious, and it
can take up to an hour per print to get everything right.
My last critique was in Film Photography. Our project was titled
“Construction.” We were assigned to come up with something to
construct, not just take pictures in an environment, but adding
items in or setting up ways of making it looked like we constructed the picture. I choose “How food brings your family together,” as my theme. Over the course of four days, I captured my
family and friends eating and had them pose for pictures that I
thought depicted how they interact with food daily. It took me
three hours to take the pictures, one hour to develop, and a little
over ten hours (out of class) to develop pictures.
If I may ask, how many of us spend 14 hours outside of class
over the span of four days for one subject? I believe that not many
of us can say that we do, with some exceptions. Also, something
to remember is that not only is it 14 hours for one critique, we
have a critique every other week. This is just one art class. Can
you imagine having two?
Asking Nick Sullivan what he thinks about art majors having
an art class, he said, “I will never take an art class again. They are
way too time consuming, and a lot more intricate than I had ever
imagined. I thought it would be an easy A.”
I do not think that being an art major is the most difficult major
at Bloomsburg. However, I believe that it is one of the most time
consuming majors there is. So next time you think art is easy, try
it yourself.

then hand him over to his
aunt, but only for a large
monetary sum. Marvin
agrees and from then on the
story goes into a number of
father son scenes; where
witty young wise guy Max
proves to have inherited
some of his father’s attitude
as well as negotiating abili-
ties. The audience finds out
that Charlie was once a
boxer, but lost his chance to
the title when robot boxing
came into fashion. We
found Charlie at just about
rock bottom in his life,
when his most recent robot
is pulverized by a bull, and
as the movie goes on we see
how Max manages to
pull him out of this.
Dakota Goyo has a
stand out performance
in this film. He often
captures the audiences’
affection with his tough
guy attitude, and his
ability to turn back into
a kid, which just makes
you want to say “awe.”
A particularly adorable
scene comes when the
robot is mimicking his
movements and he
teaches it to dance. This
brings me to the sparring robot, Atom, who
though he never speaks
manages to reel us in
with his shabby looks,
mechanical light blue
eyes, and underdog
ways. Throughout the
film people say he
won’t
survive
his
matches, but he comes
out of each one because
that bot can take a hit.
The one person who
always believed in him
was young Max, and
this led me to see a connection between main
characters, Atom and
Charlie.
Charlie has been
kicked around by life

dumps. As Max always told
Atom he could succeed; he
also convinced Charlie that
he could. While the father
and son work to bring their
robot up to snuff they also
build up their relationship
to the point where they truly
begin to need each other
and see one another as family. In the final fight against
incredibly large robot,
Zeus, nobody believes
Atom can win. Even Max is
slightly nervous at this
point. The fight does not
happen as anyone would
expect, but everyone’s
pulling for Atom.
Though the fighting
scenes were of robots, there
was still a human connection created, and the audience cringes with every
punch particularly because
the fights are truly violent
and there are such humanlike qualities about Atom.
Many believed this movie
would be better named
“Reel Steal,” because a
number of aspects of the
movie seemed similar to
that of other robot and
fighting movies.
Despite the movie’s simplicity, I found the audience
could really get into it;
though for me this was
made difficult by a number
of annoying moviegoers,
however I was still able to
make that connection and
that’s saying something. So,
if you like a movie that
pulls at your heartstrings
and is innocently funny, this
movie might just be a good
fit.

Movie: “Paranormal Activity 3”
directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman
If there is anything Lifetime is good at, it’s making romantic dramas. After a 13-episode season, “Against the Wall” had a successful
season premiere, which aired on Sunday, Oct. 23.
“Against the Wall” started off with Abby, a single police officer,
who became a detective in internal affairs. Taking the job upset her
family and put her at odds with her fellow officers. Meanwhile,
Abby was secretly seeing her brother’s partner, Brody. A love triangle begins to form as she slowly develops a crush on an attorney
named Danny. These plots unravel throughout the season, which
leads to a dramatic season finale.
In episode 12, “Second Chances,” Abby and Lina, her partner, has
to investigate a hazing case at the recruitment academy. There isn’t
much romantic drama but this episode had a very interesting investigation. The acting was well executed and the story was believable.
The show was enjoyable to watch although it was a little nervewracking to watch Abby’s mother, Sheila Kowalski, hire reformed
convicts to work at her bakery. Lifetime has a way about sneaking in
a few good messages here and there and it was a good message to
send. At the end of the episode, it was nice to see the whole
Kowalski family and friends gather around to celebrate the opening
of Sheila’s bakery.
“We Protect Our Own” is the final episode of the season and of
course it starts off with the intriguing love triangle between Abby,
Brody and Danny. This episode was drama packed. While Abby is
trying to figure out what to do with her love life, she also has to
investigate a shooting involving a close friend. The suspense builds
as her whole family gets involved with the case.
In the middle of the investigation, Danny wants to take Abby on a
date like Brody, so he can compete with him in order to win her over.
The best part about the two men struggling to win over Abby’s affections is the way Abby acts toward both of them. Abby’s resistance
toward love is the best part about the show because this isn’t the typical romantic drama. Abby is still skeptical about relationships and
can’t decide who she likes more, Danny or Brody?
The pilot was the best episode of the season and the two-hour season finale was a close second. The finale could have been better if
the production staff didn’t try so hard. The end of “We Protect Our
Own” left viewers wondering whom Abby choose to be with.
Viewers were also left wondering what will happen with Lina and
her baby and if she will be returning for the next season. There might
have been a lot going on but there was never a dull moment in season finale.

Battle of the Albums
‘Mylo Xyloto’
By Coldplay
BY KATHRYN SAULINAS
Staff Writer
While many bands fade with time and go
out on a weak note, Coldplay proves with
“Mylo Xyloto” that they simply ripen with
age.
Expectations were high from fans that
have waited three years since the release of
Viva la Vida which dominated the Grammy
Awards in 2009. Luckily, on Oct. 24, their
wait was finally over.
To say the least, fans were not disappointed. “Mylo Xyloto” has all the characteristics
Coldplay fans have come to know and love
with new innovations and is implemented to
add a fresh sound.
The opening title track lasts only 42 seconds but introduces the second track “Hurts
Like Heaven” perfectly. It’s impossible to
tell where one song ends and the other
begins, as is the case with several other
tracks on the album.
“Hurts Like Heaven” is the most upbeat
track on the album with its infectious toetapping beat and plucky guitar rhythms.
This song feels like the soundtrack to many
a Molly Ringwald dance solos straight out
of a John Hughes film.
Surprisingly (and possibly foolishly), the
band chose to not release their best songs on
the album as singles. Their collaboration
with Rihanna on “Princess of China” is sure
to be a crowd pleaser, but Chris Martin and
Co. chose to keep it under wraps until the
release of the full album.
Unlike many other collaborations, “Princess
of China” doesn’t feel like a song featuring
two different artists. Coldplay’s alternative
rock sound and Rihanna’s infusion of pop
blend so well together that the combination
sounds natural – almost as if the duo is really one band.
Similarly, “Charlie
Brown” is another
stand out track on
“Mylo Xyloto.”
Originally meant to
be played on the
accordion, “Charlie
Brown” is a testament to Jonny
Buckland’s hypnotic
talent on the guitar
and the group’s
songwriting abilities.
The two singles that
IMAGE FROM FACEBOOK.COM
were released
prior to the
album’srelease,“Paradise”
and “Every Tear
Drop Is a
Waterfall,” don’t
disappoint, as their
catchy beats are
meshed beautifully.
With an absolutely
contagious beat, “Don’t
Let It Break Your Heart,”
captures the energy of the
New York City night life and
Fourth of July fireworks in less
than four minutes.
Martin and his band mates, Buckland,
Will Champion, and Guy Berryman attribute
the inspiration for the album artwork and
lyrics to “old school American graffiti”
often found in the streets of NYC.
Despite rumors of plagiarism on “Every
Tear Drop Is a Waterfall,” the band released
a statement claiming the track was indeed
inspired by the 1976 song “I Go to Rio” by
Peter Allen and Adrienne Anderson and features some of the original chords.
While the band has used this most recent
addition to their catalog to explore new
sounds and concepts, they’ve stayed true to
their roots with piano driven songs featuring
soft vocals such as “Up In Flames” and
“U.F.O.” These stripped down songs have a
quality that makes them reminiscent of pre-
vious
albums
such as
“A Rush of
Blood to the
Head,” released in
2002.
“Us Against the World” showcases
Martin’s vocals beautifully as he croons out
a lullaby so sweet you could play it for your
children. (No doubt their dreams would be a
technicolor fantasy.)
“Mylo Xyloto” is an album that can fit
any mood. It can sing you to sleep or energize you to your very core. Martin describes
the album as quite colorful. “I don't know if
they're good colors or bad colors, but they're
definitely different colors in places," he
said.
While Martin could have been referring to
the music itself or the album artwork, it’s
clear that Coldplay has invigorated new life
into their discography with “Mylo Xyloto.”

intense build up or breakdown in the music, when
most people like to refer to that particular time as
“the drop” or “when the beat drops.” Most of the
time, just like the climax in a story, this is the most
intriguing part of the work of art, whether it is
Dubstep, music, or a book written in the 1950s.
Although many people dislike “club-music”
because of it’s heavy and repetitive nature, it
seems as though this type of music, propelled by
its artists, break outside the normal lines. Adding
such things such as original vocal tracks, combing
major and minor tonalities, playing with volume
dynamics and rhythms are just a few things that
club music has shied away from in past years.
But the aspect of the album and the group that I
appreciate most is the way they make you feel part
of their musical journey and kind
of scare you into listening.
Although this is one of
the best groups heard creating this type of music, it
isn’t my first choice and it
isn’t something I could
listen to everyday.
The range of instruments
in club music is almost
always computer generated. While there are
many sounds, possibly thousands
if not millions,
but if there
are no real
instruments,
there
are
much less
sounds to
play with,
leaving the
music dull
and repetitive.

Dubstep is now the new type of club music.
How is it new or different than it used to be, you
ask? Well the simple answer in my opinion is
super heavy, drawn out bass lines, in addition to
many new sounds. These sounds are created via
synthesizers or studio simulators found most often
on Mac products, called “pro tools.”
“Dubstep” seems to be spreading in popularity
as fast as the beats in most songs pulse through
their amplifiers.
Nero, a group of two young men from Ireland
have exploded onto the scene in the past couple of
months. Their new and first debut album,
“Welcome Reality” was released
August 12 of 2011, only in
Ireland. As for the rest of the
world, they would be able to
purchase or listen to this “clubmasterpiece” on August 15.
This intense and sometimes
eerie album contains 20 tracks,
spanning over two compact discs
(if you still use them). The opening
track, “2808” gives me the feeling of being the star in a horror movie, the star who
is running for their
life. Alas, it’s not a
movie, so there is
nothing to be
scared of.
The
music
has a quality of
build –up similar to that in
the climax of a
show, story or
movie.
This
feeling
conveys
itself
throughout the
whole album.
The thing that
breaks up the
“horror movie
sense,”
is
when tracks
like number
e i g h t ,
“Scorpions,”
have a more
playful,
party
feeling to it, with
a repetitive female
voice not found in
many other songs.
Also, a more upbeat and major
sounding note structure brings you
back to a more positive reality of the
music.
Still there is always

Halloween Attractions
Area haunts prepare to bring fright to your night
BY KAYLA BRESSI
STAFF WRITER
I
t’s impossible to think about
fall without thinking about
Halloween. It is even more
impossible to think of Halloween
without thinking about all the fun
that goes with it! Some of the different activities to look forward
to include trick or treating, dressing in costumes, scary movie premiers, or even old airings of
classic horror movies. One of the
most horrifying, yet exciting Halloween events are haunted attractions. Each year local places, like
our own BU try to put on something spooky that will get your
heart thumping and your knees
shaking. If you’re looking for a
place to get a good scare with
friends and family, check out one
of these local haunts!
For those who live around the
Bloomsburg area, the Elysburg
Haunted House is a haunted attraction well-known to locals,
and has been held annually during this time of year. Sponsored
by the Elysburg Fire Department,
along with some other fire departments, this haunted house is
a favorite to many. The haunting
starts as soon as you leave your
car and stand in line to enter,
where ghouls and the undead are
waiting (with or without chainsaws) to see if you are tough
enough to enter the actual
haunted house. “ I have a little
sister who tried to go last weekend. For a girl who loves scary

Anthropology Department
D.A.S.L. to host
Haunted Husky Hollow
BY VANESSA PELLECHIO
BY BECKY HURLBUT
MANAGING EDITOR
STAFF WRITER
Bloomsburg University, I’d
like to introduce the infamous
anthropology couple Mr.
Kevin Ward and Ms. Ashlea
Zantene. On Saturday, Oct. 29,
the two Bloomsburg students
are getting married in Philadelphia at 1 p.m.
These two students both revealed their first encounter at
this school and it did not involve fireworks or cheesy
music that comes out of
nowhere. “Actually, he was
just another guy in my classes.
We didn’t talk the first half of
the semester. After we started
talking, I thought he was funny
and that maybe, we would be
friends; but I had no idea it
would turn out like this,” Ashlea said.
Kevin shared, “We were in
an anthro class together. I don't
remember her walking in like
some corny movie. My first
memories are looking around,
as everyone does, and trying to
find a familiar face. I saw her,
she was two rows left of me
and a row or two down. I
thought she was cute, but she
wasn't being particularly social
so at first, I thought she might
be pretty shy.”
Ashlea and Kevin found a
common interest in anthropology that brought them together, but they also shared a
fascination with the Middle
East. In their Islam and Globalization class, they had their
first conversation while on a
field trip in Patterson, N.J.
The two started off as good
friends getting to know each
other and going out a few
times with other friends. They
eventually began to develop
feelings for one another; Kevin
finally asked Ashlea on a date.
The anthropology couple spent
the entire summer together and
has been inseparable since.
Every girl dreams of the day
when the man of her dreams
asks to spend the rest of his
life with her. Ashlea shares,
“It’s a feeling that is really
hard to put into words. As
corny as it sounds, I just know
he’s the one and when I look at
my future, I wanted him in it.
I love him.”
Kevin just knew he wanted
to spend the rest of his life
with Ashlea because “a gut
feeling, deep in my heart, my
stomach, my brain. Wherever
Tonight and tomorrow
evening, DASL will be hosting Bloomsburg University’s
second annual Haunted
Husky Hollow. Open to both
BU students and the public,
this is a haunted Halloween
walk through the Upper
Campus Quest teambuilding
woods.
The planning for this
event began right after last
year’s Haunted Husky Hollow, but the majority has
been done this semester. Last
year, a group of students
came up with the idea and
requested that DASL (Developing Ambitious Student
Leaders) plan it out. “We try
to do things
that students
want,” senior
planning committee member
Ben Attinger
explains.
In
addition
to
DASL, Residence
Life,
Quest,and
Community
Government
Association
are also helping to plan this
event.
Between character actors, tour
guides, registration volunteers,
and
parking staff,
around 75 people are working together to
make this happen for the campus and community.
Haunted Husky Hollow is
free to attend, but donations
will be accepted for the
Shikellamy Outdoor Education Program. “Last year we
did UNICEF, but this year
we wanted something a little
more local,” Attinger says.
The Shikellamy Outdoor Education Program is a weeklong experience for fifth
grade students where, “they
learn about the outdoors, nature, gun safety, and survival
skills,” Attinger describes.
This tradition has been going

it came from, I knew this was
something I wanted to do.”
Ashlea conceded that she wasn’t one of those girls that always dreamed of having a big
wedding and had everything
planned like most girls do. “I
didn’t have this image in my
head. I think it made things a
little more fun though.”
The two are such loving
people and share a passion for
the same things. They both
have those days where they
can go work on their own ambitions, but at the same time,
they find moments to spend together. Marriage is about having separate ambitions, and
working on them while with
the person you love. That is
what Ashlea and Kevin
demonstrate. Good luck you
two!
anticipated attraction here is Lost
in Jason’s Woods. This is a walking tour though the thick, eerie
forest of Jason’s Woods. According to legend, werewolves reside
in Jason’s woods, looking for unsuspecting annual visitors. There
are also two bonus attractions
when you purchase a combo
pass- The Mystery Maze and the
Grand New Jason’s Woods Theatre. Jason’s Woods is open Fridays and Saturdays from 7 p.m.
until 10 p.m. and on Sundays
from 7 to 9 p.m., ending on Oct.
30. For all five attractions tickets
are $40, and you get the complimentary 2 bonus attractions.
As college students, you may
be stuck on campus during these
Halloween festivities. However,
that doesn’t mean you won’t get
to experience some of the fun!
You can get your very own tricks
and treats at BU’s very own
Haunted Husky Hollow! The
Haunted Husky Hollow is sponsored by DASL Campus Leadership, BU Residence Life, and
Quest Outdoor Adventure and
will be open from 7 until 10 p.m.
on Oct. 27 and 28. It will be located in the Quest team-building
woods on Upper Campus. Admission is free, but they will be
accepting donations to support
the Shikellamy Outdoor Education Program. With all of these
different horrors to enjoy, you
won’t miss out this October on
some good, clean, and scary
fun!
on for almost 50 years, but
unfortunately due to budget
cuts, there may not be
enough funding for the students to attend this year.
Everyone is welcome to
attend Haunted Husky Hollow, regardless of whether
they are a student, professor,
staff member, or local
Bloomsburg resident. “Last
year mainly local people attended, but this year we expect people from even
farther away,” Attinger says.
They are also anticipating
the families of the fifth
graders to take the 30 to 45
minute drive from Shikellamy to come out for this
event. Free hot chocolate
and apple cider will be provided for attendees. Hot
dogs and s’mores will also
be sold for a small fee.
In regards to attendance,
Attinger states that, “the goal
is to shoot for 700 people
like last year.” The Haunted
Husky Hollow has been
compared to the Elysburg
Haunted House, “but this
one takes longer to walk
through”. People should go
to kickoff Halloween weekend, “because it’s fun and
they can get scared and also
because they are helping out
a local school district,” Attinger explains. “It will help
over 200 fifth graders.”
Even if you attended last
year, some changes have
been made this year, so it is
worth checking out again.
There will be different surprises in the woods and also
the storyline has been
changed. This year’s story
involves an alleged insane
asylum built on the Indian
burial grounds on Upper
Campus.
This event will be held
tonight
and
tomorrow
evening from 7 to 10 p.m.,
with tours leaving every ten
minutes. Students can take
the shuttle
and exit at
the Orange
Lot
stop
which is the
one between
the Jessica
Kozloff and
Mount Olympus Apartm e n t s .
Vo l u n t e e r s
and signs will
direct visitors
to the Quest
teambuilding
woods. Free
parking will
be available
in the Orange
Lot for those
who drive. In
the chance of
rain,
the
event may be
cancelled.
Check
the
Bloomsburg “Today” page
for the latest updates.
Although it is too late for
students to volunteer for this
year’s Haunted Husky Hollow, it is expected to be held
again next fall. “We want to
do this as many years as we
can, as long as we make a
profit for organizations,” Attinger remarks. Interested
students are encouraged to
sign up to volunteer through
DASL.

A Perfect Score
Huskies pass their final regular season test
BY TOM CIAMPOLI
Sports Editor
The Bloomsburg Huskies’ field hockey concluded their remarkable 2011 campaign in
thrilling fashion on Friday, coming from behind
to defeat seventh-ranked C.W. Post 2-1 in overtime. The win preserved the Huskies’ undefeated
record in the 2011 season, as well as their first
overall ranking in the Division II coaches’ polls,
a spot that Bloomsburg has now held for seven
consecutive weeks.
Despite the home-field advantage and two early
penalty corner shot attempts taken by Amber
Aulenbach, the Huskies were unable to score any
early goals. At 8:56, the Pioneers’ Carlee Dragon
took the first shot of the game (the attempt sailed
wide). The first shot fired on goal from either side
didn’t come until nearly ten minutes later. With
17:43 gone by in the opening frame, Post’s LynMarie Wilson fired a shot that was headed between the pipes until BU goalie Meghan
Hollenbach got to it and recorded the save.
At 21:41, Jenna DiSabatino, who had been
BU’s first substitution into the game, took the
Huskies’ first shot of the contest (like the Pioneers’ first shot, the try sailed out of play). At
30:34, Dragon missed the net with another shot
attempt. 4:26 later, the whistle sounded and the
teams headed to halftime locked at zero.
The Huskies didn’t take long to register their
first shot on goal once the second haslf commenced. With just 1:49 gone by in the second period, Amanda Riley attempted to put the Huskies
in front with a shot attempt. The try, however,
never even reached the goalie, as Post’s Tara
Dougherty recorded the defensive save. At 41:18,
the Pioneers finally broke through. Helene Bruckner’s attempt was redirected to Wilson, who deposited the ball past Hollenbach for the game’s
inaugural score.
As the top-ranked Huskies have been known to
do all year, however, they quickly recovered. At
45:27, Riley’s shot on goal was saved by Pioneer
goalie Devon Trenkle. Four seconds later, Nicole
Bruce took a shot at the goal, as well. This time,
Trenkle could not get between the shooter and the
ball, and Bruce’s eleventh goal of the season knotted the game up at one apiece.
The Pioneers continued to attack the Husky defense, and got a couple more opportunities to take
the lead back. Shot attempts by Post’s Amanda
Miller which came within forty seconds of each
other were both deftly turned away by Hollenbach, who notched three stops over the course of
the contest. At 57:17, DiSabatino took her second
shot on goal of the game, with Trenkle making the
save.

NBA

No Basketball Agreement (Yet)
One writer discusses an autumn without hoops
Contributing Writer
The National Basketball Association is one of America’s longest
running sport leagues. Most Americans, especially fans, could not
imagine life without the NBA. Sadly, there is an impending situation
that may result in the demise of the national basketball association.
Currently, the NBA is in a lockout. A lockout, in simple terms, is a
discontinuance in work in which an employer prohibits the employees from working. In this case, David Stern and the owners of the
basketball teams assume the roles of the employers and the players
of the association are the employees. A lockout is different from a
strike, which is a situation in which the employees refuse make the
decision to cease working.
So what’s the reason for the NBA‘s lockout if the players want to
play and the owners undoubtedly still wish to turn a profit? Well, a
lockout may happen for several reasons. When only part of a union
votes to strike, the purpose of a lockout is to put pressure on the union
by reducing the number of members who are able to work. For example, if the anticipated strike severely hampers work of non-striking
workers, the employer may declare a lockout until the workers end
the strike. In other cases, particularly in the United States, a lockout
occurs when union membership rejects the company's final offer at
negotiations. Instead, they offer to return to work under the same
conditions of employment that existed under the now-expired contract. In such a case as the NFL and now the NBA, the lockout is designed to pressure the workers into accepting the terms of the
company’s (David Stern and the owners) last offer.
The 2011 NBA lockout is the fourth lockout in the history of the
NBA. It began at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on July 1, 2011. During
the lockout, teams cannot trade, sign or contact players, and players
cannot access NBA team facilities, trainers or staffs. Right now, both
parties are at a standstill with negotiations. Derek Fisher, president
of the NBA Players Union has even noted that decertification of the
union is a possible option. Without a solution in sight, NBA Com-
missioner David Stern has already cancelled the first four weeks of
the season. This is the fourth in league history, but in this new age
with so many more options this lockout can definitely be the big one
that truly devastates the NBA. This means that household names such
as Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Dwayne Wade will be diminished and unless a successful new league is built they will most likely
take their talents overseas. These high profile players along with less
known players are willing and have taken their talent elsewhere in
an effort to still make money for this basketball season.
On the flip side, some NBA players have taken the lockout in
stride. With no restrictions, many players have opted to stay in America and play in different pro leagues and/or summer and fall leagues
that they could not have participated in previously due to contract
restrictions. More than 70 players have already decided to sign with
foreign teams and the more the lockout drags the higher that number
becomes. Even though most of these signings have been rookies,
middling veterans and fringe players, a few big names have left also.
Deron Williams is the only 2011 NBA All-Star going overseas, signing a one-year contract for $5 million to play for The Bestikas of the
Turkish Basketball League (TBL). NBA former first-overall draft
pick Kenyon Martin, who was a free agent after this past season, has
signed a one-year contract with the Xinjaing Flying Tigers of the
Chinese Basketball Association that makes him the highest paid
player in the league's history at $500,000 a month. However, he will
not be able to return to the NBA until the Chinese season ends in
March. This might move other big name free agents to do the same;
why not make good money overseas rather than not only waiting for
the lockout to end but waiting to get re-signed?
Unlike some players who signed more lucrative contracts overseas,
three-time NBA champion Tony Parker opted to play for the minimum wage of $2,000 per month with ASELV Basket, the French
team he partly owns. Now that’s what you call for the love of the
game. Parker joined several foreign players, such as Leandro Barbosa, Boris Diaw, Rudy Fernandez, Andrei Kirilenko and Mehmet
Okur, who opted to play in their home countries until the lockout
ends.
On the flip side, some NBA players who are more accustomed to
American soil will be tempted to stay for various reasons such as
concerns with reliability of getting paid, differences in coaching
styles, and lower standards of business travel of other areas in comparison to the NBA. Most of these players have been joining pro-am
leagues, exhibition leagues, and classic pickup game venues. Some
top leagues since the lockout are the Drew League in Los Angeles
and the Goodman League in Washington D.C. An exhibition game
between the two leagues was played on August 20, 2011, with the
Goodman League defeating the Drew League, 135–134, in exciting
fashion. Drew League commissioner Dino Smiley said that such proam games during the NBA off-season were not new, but "the lockout
has taken these games to a new level". A tournament of NBA-only
players was held in September in Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring eight
teams with seven to eight players each. Unsurprisingly, the results
from those games were exhilarating and as good or if not better than
the NBA. Named the Impact Basketball Competitive Training Series,
the league was later dubbed by The New York Times as the "Lockout
League".
What the future holds for the NBA is unforeseen until the players
union and owners to come to an agreement. The game is rapidly
changing, and more and more players are skilled and blessed with
size. This creates even more entertaining games and exhibitions such
as the dunk contest. The remaining question is what will be the venue
to showcase these talents the NBA, the ever-expanding valley of
overseas leagues, or a new homegrown league that arises. After all
is said and done, only one thing is for certain about the future of the
NBA and basketball: only time can tell what the future holds.
World Series
Comeback in the Cards?
BY JOE KRINGER
The World Series returns to St. Louis for Game 6
Staff Writer
For the second straight season, the Texas Rangers find themselves
in position to win the franchise’s first World Series title. The rain
has washed away their chances to do it on Wednesday night, as the
game was postponed. Up 3-2 in the series, they’ll get another shot
Thursday for what may be the decisive Game Six.
The rain has probably been the biggest spoiler of October baseball, washing out several games and pushing the schedule back repeatedly. Hoping for this, the Cardinals will surely take the extra
day off to regain their composure and get back on track. They’ve
struggled scoring runs, not only in the last two games, but most of
the series. Aside from a 23-run outburst from both teams in Game
3, dead bats and consistent pitching has kept scores low and the action to a minimum.
In Game One, the tension wasn’t broken until the fourth inning,
when the Cardinals struck the scoreboard first off the Lance Berkman single that scored Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday. Down 2-0,
the Rangers answered back the next inning with a two-run jack off
the bat of Mike Napoli to tie it up. A run-scoring single from the
Cardinals in the bottom of the sixth, put them ahead 3-2, a lead they
held onto for the victory.

Jaime Garcia tookimage

for the Cardinals
in Game two,
where he put on a clinic, giving up just three hits and no runs in
seven innings pitched. St. Louis decided not to send him back out
in the eighth. They scored the game’s first run in the bottom of the
seventh, and held a 1-0 lead which they left in the hands of their
bullpen. In the top of ninth after they allowed runners on for Texas,
who were methodically moved home with a few sacrifice flies. St.
Louis had no response and dropped the game 2-1.
The explosive offensive production both teams are capable of,
was finally on display in Game 3. Led by the monster swing of the
All-Star Albert Pujols, the Cardinals found their bats for a 16-7 win
and a 2-1 edge in the series. At the front of the charge, Pujols went
yard three times in the victory, becoming only the third player in
history to accomplish this feat. Mr. October himself, Reggie Jackson, in 1977, and the great Bambino, Babe Ruth, in 1926 and 1927,
were the only others able to do so.
After a deflating loss in their World Series home opener, Texas
reacted swiftly in Game 4. Derek Holland brought the Cardinals’
batting order down off their high horse, holding them to just two
hits and no runs in 8.1 innings pitched while the Rangers cruised to
a 4-0 win and evened the series at 2-2.
Texas kept this momentum swing on their side for their home finale in Game 5. The Cardinals jumped out to an early 2-0 lead at
the top of the second. Over the
next seven innings the run support sputtered out and they were
held scoreless while the
Rangers chipped away over that
span. Solo home runs from
Mitch Moreland in the third,
and Adrian Beltre in the sixth
tied things up. Then, off a deep
double from Napoli that
knocked in Michael Young and
Nelson Cruz, the Rangers added
two runs to the scoreboard
pushing them ahead 4-2 late in
the game, a score they held onto
for the win and a 3-2 series lead
going back to St. Louis for
Game 6 and 7.
The stakes are high in Texas
though. In their second straight
World Series appearance,
they’re taking a “now or never”
attitude into the next two
games, as if anything less than
being crowned the 2011 Champions would be unacceptable to
the organization.
For the Cardinals, they’re just
enjoying the ride as the team
who wasn’t even supposed to
make it through the divisional
series, as the shutdown pitching
for the Phillies was expected to
dominate. The fans and players,
however, must have higher expectations for themselves and
have to lift up the slumping bats
in order to fend off the Rangers
in the next two games. They can
either settle for less and be content with an NL title or rise to the
challenge and put up a fight for the MLB’s top spot.

The Huskies’ Hallowed Hall
BY TOM CIAMPOLI
11
Five Husky heroes are inducted into BU Hall of Fame
Sports Editor
Bloomsburg held its 30th annual Hall of Fame induction
ceremony on Friday Night in
the Kehr Union Ballroom. Five
former standout Husky athletes
were inducted into the group of
the select few whose athletic
feats and achievements have
been immortalized at this
school, making the list of people who have been honored in
such fashion by BU to 142. The
inductees this year were Rich
Kozicki (class of ’76), Denise
Miller Warner (’99), Mike Petersen (’92), Tracy Price Splain
(’92) and Lori Shelly (’91).
It is customary for the current
head coach of the sport in which
the inductee played to introduce
and present that nominee. Since
Miller Warner was a two-sport
standout and field hockey coach
Nikki Rhoads was not present at
the proceedings, her former
softball manager Jan Hutchinson took the stage to present
and induct her former star.
Miller Warner was a four-time
letter recipient in both sports,
setting a single-season record in
field hockey for goals scored by
a Husky with 31 in 1991.
Warner also set the BU singleseason points record (82) that
same year. From 1990-92,
Warner helped to lead the
Huskies to three straight PSAC
titles, and Bloomsburg lost just
ten games while she was there.
Those numbers alone would
more than likely warrant induction to the Huskies’ hallowed
hall, but Warner was also a softball player who had a .332 career batting average as a Husky
and is 11th in school history
with 134 runs scored. An allNCAA Tournament nominee in
1990 and All-PSAC selection
the following season, Warner
helped the squad finish second,
third and fourth at the NCAA
Championships during her career at Bloomsburg.
“She was a fierce competitor

by men’s tennis coach Marty Coyne at Friday night’s banquet.
who was on a mission whenever
she stepped on the field in either
sports,” Hutchinson stated onstage, using an anecdote about
how Warner would count down
to the Husky goal record she
desperately wanted to set in her
senior year to relay how devoted Warner was to accomplishing her goals (“She scored
31, so it worked,” Hutchinson
added). Warner expressed feeling “profoundly thankful, humble and blessed” to be receiving
the nomination, and also
thanked her family and coaches
for their support. Warner also
revealed the impetus behind her
intense drive and focus: “Don’t
let the person beside you
down.”
Men’s tennis coach Marty
Coyne introduced Petersen as
the next enshrinee. Petersen,
originally from New Zealand, is
one of only three people to win
twelve PSAC titles in their career, winning singles and doubles titles all four years at BU
while also leading his team to
four consecutive team titles. In
the 1990 season, Petersen went
23-5 in doubles play and 30-11
in singles action. He was named
BU’s Underclassman Athlete of
the Year in 1991, and was also
named as a PSAC (and BU)
Scholar-Athlete. Petersen was
named an All-American in 1992
after winning two matches at
the NCAA championships.
Coyne talked about how Petersen’s head coach Burt Reese
stressed that one had to look behind Petersen’s gaudy collegiate
numbers to see the work ethic
and dedication that allowed his
former player to achieve those
statistics. Petersen, in turn,
made sure to thank the game he
loved for being able to see the
world. “Because of tennis, I had
an opportunity to travel around
the country and play some of
the best teams and players.”
The next person to the
podium was current head swimming coach Stu Marvin, who
introduced Tracy Price Splain.
Women’s Soccer
No Bone for Huskies
Coach Marvin joked that he
wished he was former head
swim coach Dave Ryder when
Ryder found Splain in high
school. The envy would be understandable, however, upon
looking at Splain’s accomplishments after arriving at Bloomsburg. Splain was not only a
four-time All-American as a
Husky, but also won nine PSAC
titles during her four years at
BU.
Splain’s talent was evident to
everyone who saw her swim,
winning the 100-and-200 fly,
200 IM, and 400 IM as a freshman and winning PSAC Female
Athlete of the Year. She would
go on to win two more titles in
both the 100-and-200 fly, as
well as another title in the 200
IM. Splain made the PSAC AllConference team in each of her
four years on campus. As a senior, Splain won runner-up in
both the 100-and-200 fly races
at the NCAA Championships,
and four of her times still stand
in Bloomsburg’s top ten fastest
times in their respective categories (her time of 57.8 in the
100 fly was the school record at
the time of her graduation).
Splain said that swimming
taught her how to be “successful in sports and life”, and how
to both win and lose. The newly
minted Hall-of-Famer also
thanked her family and friends
for the support she was given
throughout her athletic career.
Husky softball manager
Susan Kocher presented Lori
Shelly next, another former
Bloomsburg athlete who succeeded in multiple sports.
Shelly was a four-year starter
for Coach Hutchinson in softball, but was also the starting
goalie for the Huskies for one
year before and injury forced
her to focus her full attention on
the diamond. With Shelly on the
team, the Huskies softball
squad went 168-27 winning
three PSAC titles and earning
both second-and-third place finishes at the NCAA Division II
Championships. Shelly
was a first class hitter, batting over .350 for three of
her four years at BU and
being nominated as a
first-team All-American
twice in her four collegiate years. As a sophomore, Shelly batted. 396,
with nine home runs and
46 runs batted in, adding
48 more RBI in her senior
season in 1991. Shelly left
the school as the all-time
doubles leader in BU softball history with 55 (she is
now second on the list)
and the school RBI leader
with 163 (now third).
With those stats on the
baseball field, it’s easy to
forget that Shelly also averaged 4.5 saves a game
while compiling a 24-1
record and leading the
Huskies to an NCAA
Championship.
