Friday, January 21, 2005 Do you think it's right to protest the inauguration? "l thought the inauguration urns a comedy special." Mallory Blasic, COMBA 02 STEELERS, continued from Page 1 younger brother of former intramural kingpin Brad Dolhi, warns non-Steelers fans, “[During games] the whole city shuts down and goes nuts for the games, and as long as you’re wearing black and gold you can kill someone if they cheer for another team.’’ Steelers fans aren’t just limited to the Pennsylvania area either. Brian Johnson, DUS 03, lives in Ohio. “Steelers fans are the best in the NFL; they’re everywhere! Coming from Ohio in Browns and Ben gal country I’m not alone when it comes to diehard fans,” he said. On a recent trip to Florida, Josh Kaylor, MKTG 08, experienced this na tion wide following as well. “I was re cently down in Daytona, Fla. and they had a Steelers bar. We had to stand out side it was so packed,” he said. “The Steelers winning the Superbowl will be much sweeter than getting dumped be fore Christmas break.” Even fans of other teams simply can- Car Accidents Drunk Driving Defense Criminal Defense Grant C. Travis, Esquire * "Yes, because I'm not a fan of the • fact that corporations are funding not bring themselves to hate Big Ben and the loveable Steelers. Chiefs fan Dave Callihan, FIN 10, said, “I don’t really hate them...l just don’t like how they wear their pants so tight.” Our own news editor, Brad Stewart, ELISH 08, an Eagles fan, had to admit the Steelers’ skill. “The only teams that I worry about are the Steelers and the Patriots. They could prove a challenge,” he said. Another Eagles fan, Zack Mentz, SE 06, was a bit more outward in his thoughts. “Sip some soda (pop), eat a Wawa hoagie.and watch the Eagles bring it home. Booya!” On this quotation quest, one compari son really stood out among the rest to represent the voice of the campus and our team. Freshman jokester Josh Beebe, PLET 02, said, “The Steelers are like Dobbins, they aren’t always play ing, but when they are you can’t get enough. And they almost always make you poop your pants.” Well said young lad, well said. www.paautoinjury.com www .duilawyerpa. com Melissa Dale, 20TBL 06 Have a suggestion for Question of the Week?

Tae Predevith, MRKTG 08 Economists headed to Big Apple By Nick LoGalbo staff writer Every year, the Society of Under graduate Economists sponsors a trip to a major city. Last year they went to Bos ton and toured such prominent locali ties as the Federal Reserve Bank, and the Boston Brewing Company. This year promises to be a good one as both the Accounting and Finance Clubs are working in conjunction with the Society of Undergraduate Econo mists to plan a trip to the Big Apple it self. “It’s such a dynamic place; there is always something new to see or do,” said Rob McGahen, MGMT/ECON 06. McGahen is the secretary of the So ciety of Undergraduate Economists, which meets every other week. “We do a lot of little things during the year but this is our big event.” This year’s trip is open to any Behrend student and costs $l9O, which includes hotel stay and the bus trip. The trip is scheduled for March 16-19 and the clubs have many activities planned upon arrival in New York. The New York Stock Exchange, Federal Reserve Bank, and possibly Bank of America are a couple of the sites the group will be visiting. “Tours of the stock exchange are ex tremely limited since 9/11 but we were able to get in,” McGahen said. Hotel accommodations will be pro vided at the Courtyard Midtown Man hattan. “It’s a $l9O for three nights in New York; you can’t beat that,” McGahen says about the outing. A round trip ticket to New York for those dates was quoted by expedia.com as $lBB. Greener Behrend Task Force Tips for Januaiy 21: fTTI GREENER / \ BEHREND J_*£_JrASK FORCE Indoor lighting energy saving tips... Why bother? Life can be overwhelming with all the "shoulds"- things we're supposed to do like eating the right foods, flossing, creating a bal anced "work-school-home-play" life and doing something about major issues facing the world and our community. Sometimes it seems like too much. So why bother with one more thing? Because one thing-energy efficiency creates three positive benefits at once for you and the planet: cuts your home utility bills so you have extra money to spend on other things, increases your comfort and reduces pollution Turn off the lights in any room you're not using. Other options include: installing timers, photo cells or occupancy sensors, which would reduce the amount of time your lights are on. Use task lighting. Task lighting involves focusing light only where you need it instead of brightly lighting up an entire room. For example, use fluorescent under-cabinet lighting for kitchen sinks and counter tops under cabinets. Consider three-way lamps. These make it easier to keep lighting levels low when brighter light is not necessary such as during daylight hours. Take advantage of daylight by using light-colored, loose-weave curtains on your windows to allow natural light to penetrate the room while still pre serving privacy. Also, avoid decorating with dark colors - lighter colors reflect daylight and really do "brighten up" a room. A good solution: Compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) use up to 75 percent less energy and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. CFLs have improved tremendously since first introduced. They have become smaller, cheaper, brighter and offer improved color quality. Replace all light fixtures and bulbs that operate four or more hours a day with ones that use fluorescent bulbs to save money and energy. Use lumens - the amount of light produced - to compare lights. For example, a 23-watt fluorescent bulb produces about the same number of lumens as a 100-watt incandescent. Your investment will generally pay for itself in a couple of years. (Source: US Department of Energy) “No, I think it's wrong. The president earned his position and gives us a lot to look foumrd to."
