World-class gamers and Alaskan Native storytellers and elders have come together to create the unique game “Never Alone” to be released Tuesday, Nov. 18 as a downloadable title for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
Inspired by a traditional Iñupiaq story called “Kunuuksaayuka”, this puzzle platform game is about a young girl and fox traveling to the top of the world to save her people from an endless blizzard.

The stunning artwork, characters and en-vironment featured in the game are inspired and based on traditional Alaska Native art such as paintings, drawings, sculptures, clothing, masks, and scrimshaws. Working with Alaska Na-tive elders and artists, this game provides a unique and faithful portrayal of Native culture.
“We had a medium in which we could share our culture with the world” VDLG�*ORULD�2·1HLOO��&(2�DQG�SUHVLGHQW�RI�&RRN�,QOHW�7ULEDO�&RXQFLO�LQ�$QFKRU-age to NPR. “. . . we could create this invitation of courageous learning with the world.”
In the game you play as both Girl and Fox, using unique skills and abilities to overcome puzzles and challenges.
There is also local co-op mode, so a second player can join at any time.

of “World Games” that hopefully are to be developed. These games seek to show the voices and richness of many cultures around the world for a global audience.
“At the end, we believe that we will end up with amazing games that present rich cultures and fas-

and cultures in positive, authentic and respectful terms.”

STAR WARS EPISODE VII
T H E F O R C E A W A K E N SZach Estright

After Return of the Jedi, we see the crew we know and love smiling together after their triumph of de-feating the evil galactic empire. Apparently after that sequence the force falls asleep, because on November 6th , 2014, Star Wars has announced their title to episode VII, “The Force Awakens”.
A tweet from @StarWars_VII said, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens has completed princi-pal photography.” This news is exciting for most Star Wars fans because now the title can make us wonder on what this movie could be about.
Why was the force ever asleep to begin with? I think after Luke Skywalker overthrew the galactic em-SLUH�WKHUH�ZDV�QR�QHHG�WR�ÀJKW��DQG�WKHUH�ZDV�SHDFH��
The force was put into remission, not needed. What I think this simple title can tell us is that there is going to be
somebody wanting to take over the galaxy, somebody who is not a good person. We know Luke (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford),

Graphics
NaughtyDog really outdid themselves with the “Uncharted” games. With
each installment in the series, the scenery became more diverse and beautiful,
and Nate and the other characters’ models seem even more realistic. Also, while
all of the other PlayStation 3 and X-Box 360 games at the time had a dark, gritty
look to them, NaughtyDog broke away from this. Each of the games has a bright,
vibrant look to them, making them pieces of art as well as a game

It’s that time of the year again Lock Haven University students, where
the temperatures are dropping drastically. Winter is approaching fast and
not only will you need to prepare for cold temperatures, but also wind chills,
snow, ice and even freezing rain.
Chantelle Heggenstaller, a junior communications major, said she lived
in the area all her life and each year the winters appear to be worse than the
last.
“It’s so cold here in the winter. When it snows, it’s a mess and the roads
get very bad. Last year it snowed so bad they you could not even clear the
sidewalks properly. Students who walk to class, had to walk in a mess of
snow and ice or use the roads a alternative,” said Heggenstaller.
So how will students handle traveling or walking back and forth to their
classes this winter season?
The trolley system is available for students during winter months as
well. If you were not already taking advantage of the trolley, during the cold
months would be the perfect time. The trolley has several stops, in front of
east campus, health science, outside of Bentley hall and in the loop by Thom-

Upper class men recommend students to dress accordingly to stay warm.
Here are some other tips and tricks from students who experienced the win-
ter months here on campus to keep warm.
“Don’t dress to look cute. For goodness sake, put a coat on! Bundle up,
wear several of layers of clothing including: gloves, jackets and boots’” said
Chelsea Edwards, a grad assistant in the athletic department.

Gerard Cobb a senior sports administrations major.
“You can stay warm in style. Buy some leg warmers, cute boots and a
scarf.” said Chantelle Heggenstaller, a communication major.
“Purchase some gloves, a hat and wear warm fuzzy socks. It’s important

How many of us wish we knew what a person
was thinking at a certain moment? I would wa-
ger most if not all of us have wanted this super
power at one time or another. Thanks to a group of
scientists at the University of California, Berkeley,
we now can. That’s right, according to an article
SXEOLVKHG�LQ�)URQWLHUV�LQ�1HXURHQJLQHHULQJ�WKLV�intrepid group of researchers have devised a way
to know what a person is thinking.
How could this possibly work? It turns out
it isn’t as complicated as you may think. When
we speak to one another, our voices make sound
waves and these waves trigger a multitude of
WKLQJV�LQ�RXU�EUDLQV�OLNH�QHXURQV�WR�ÀUH��QHUYH�cells to activate and so on. That makes sense since
we are hearing these words but what if we are
reading them silently, to ourselves? It turns out
WKDW�WKHVH�VDPH�QHXURQV�DQG�ÀULQJ�SDWWHUQV�ZHUH�triggered then as well.
The researchers were able to place small elec-
trodes on the surface of the brain and then record
the brains reactions to both spoken words and
words thought. They were even able to decipher
what type of music a person was listening to de-
pending on the neuron reactions in the brain. The

ing of a food they could tell but the researchers
couldn’t say the person wanted cheese pizza with
pepperoni and bacon.
Although this isn’t an extremely accurate
method of interpreting what we are thinking it is
a huge step forward. This has many practical ap-

to communicate with us. There are many people
that have been either paralyzed or born unable to

It may sound farfetched but this study into
reading and interpreting our inner thoughts could
lead to a great breakthrough for those who have
no other way of telling us what they want to say.

If you’re not interested in some female repro-ductive issues, turn away now. This is a little les-son in the horrors of “the pill.”
If you’ve ever considered going on the pill (oral contraception) then you’ve heard the standard lec-ture about what can happen when you start taking it. Some of it is pretty groovy, like the possibility of shorter, lighter periods and some of it sucks, like the possibility of gaining a bunch of weight. You’ve also heard that you shouldn’t smoke because of the increased risk for a heart attack and you’ve heard that the pill is roughly 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when taken properly (score for those of us who think babies are cute, but only when they belong to someone else).
What you probably haven’t been told is that going off of the pill can be a complete and utter nightmare.
At the beginning of October, I called my phar-PDF\�WR�KDYH�P\�ELUWK�FRQWURO�SUHVFULSWLRQ�UHÀOOHG��7KH\�QHHGHG�WR�FDOO�P\�GRFWRU·V�RIÀFH�EHFDXVH�,�ZDV�RXW�RI�UHÀOOV³QR�ELJ�GHDO��RU�VR�,�WKRXJKW�
What happened was a communication ca-tastrophe that led to me not getting my pills for nearly two weeks, too far into my cycle for me to just start my new pack. So I did what any doc-tor would have instructed me to do: I didn’t start my pack and instead patiently awaited my next period. Inconvenient, but not a problem, I thought.
Famous last words…)RXU�ZHHNV�SDVVHG��WKHQ�ÀYH³VWLOO�QR�SHULRG�Now good readers, I’m not ashamed to admit
that my sex life lately does not have me fearing that a missed period might mean pregnancy. So while I wasn’t worried about some creepy little thing forming in the primordial ooze of my uterus, I was a little concerned about my lack of period (and knowing when I could and should start taking my pill again, in hopes of reviving my sad and strangled sex life).
I took to Google in search of answers and what I found amazed me.
It turns out that while some women can go off of the pill and be pregnable again LQ�D�PDWWHU�RI�GD\V��WKDW·V�ULJKW³mere days; that’s why taking your pill properly is so crucial to preventing pregnancy), others take months to ovulate again, some get stuck in a non-ovulating cycle due to hormonal changes taking the pill has made and still others are rendered in-fertile for life (I’m not sure how rare or common in-fertility caused by the pill is, but if you ever want to have kids, it’s probably worth looking into).
On top of all that fertility/menstruation nonsense, going off of the pill can produce other
radical changes. If you’re someone like me, go-ing off of the pill means that your skin decides to rebel, for one. I broke out worse than I ever did DV�D�WHHQDJHU³,·P�WDONLQJ�OHJHQGDU\�PHJD�]LWV�and monstrous facial craters. As if having my face deformed weren’t bad enough, going off the pill
also affected how well I slept (not well, in case you were wondering). My appetite and
my body’s ability to handle food suf-fered. Nearly everything I ate made me nauseous for an entire month (which really would have freaked me out if I was gettin’ some booty on the regu-lar). My stress levels shot through the roof (welcome back panic at-tacks, my old friend). And, as I WKDW�ZHUHQ·W�DOO�HQRXJK�RI�D�ÀHVWD��it made my body store water like a
camel in an uncomfortable, bloated tire around my midsection.
Needless to say, I started taking my pill again and am happy to report
that most of my problems subsided within a week. They don’t tell you the struggle it can be to
quit taking an oral contraceptive after years and years. Had I known when I was 16-years-old what I know now, I would’ve rejected taking the pill as a means to regulate my periods, because now my body is enslaved to those demon hormone pills.
Hormone-free might be the way to go for some women, but for me, organically functioning ovaries only amount to trouble these days.

As some people may know it is Native American Heritage month. I have found that there are many people that don’t know this or even that they had never even heard of it. It has a long history that started as a day and turned into a month.

Week 11 College Football Roundup
Athlete balances family, academics and sportsJohn PoliGuest [email protected]
This season when you look at the Lock Haven cross country results you will see junior, Dylan Mountain leading the way for the Bald Eagles. What you will not see is Mountain’s leading the way for another team: his.
This past June Mountain’s girlfriend, Courtney Schobel gave birth to their son, Jace. Mountain goes to class and practice but when he goes home his life is dif-ferent from the average college athlete. Mountain now has the responsibilities of being a father.

Having a full schedule like Mountain has now, the hardest thing is not on the course as Mountain is one of the top guys in PSAC looking for a shot at earning an All-American status. Instead the hardest thing for Mountain is being a student.
