Ghostly Campus
Blurb: For years rumors have traveled around LSC about spooky events that have taken place on campus. Whether it’s strange deaths or sightings of ghosts, the college seems to have a dark side that few really know about.
For a long time at least sightings and rumors of ghosts on the LSC campus have been haunting the LSC campus. One of the most inexhaustible myths has to do with Emma Vail, the wife of Theodore N. Vail, who died in the winter of 1905 while her husband was away on business. Since her death, ghostly sightings and paranormal activity have been reported all over campus.
Particularly in the Theater
One year during a play rehearsal in the early 1970’s, a student witnessed an elderly woman step onto the stage, look around, then walk off. Later she asked other crew members about the woman; nobody else seemed to have seen her.
An incident that also took place in the theater happened when a ventriloquist was performing. Rumor has it a glass of water that was on the stage was knocked over and rolled to the edge of the stage. Instead of falling off and crashing to the floor, the glass mysteriously stood upright once again.
Other stories circulate about a mysterious wheelchair that is said to be haunted. Once after a production, the chair was seen rocking back and forth by itself. Another incident took place late one night when two security officers found the chair alone in one of the hallways. After returning the chair to its rightful home inside of a storage room they continued their rounds. Later that evening they returned and found the chair had once again managed to make its way back to the hallway.
A common misconception about the chair is that it was owned by Emma, when in fact it was purchased as a prop for a play.
While some parts of LSC history are baffling, every good story has been stretched over time. Unsure of which have and which have not, it is clear that there is nothing wrong with a little mystery in a world where people are so sure of everything.
Internal Link: A bit of truth
While rumors have been spread across campus about suicides, only one such incident has taken place on campus; during in the late 60s a woman who was a staff member at LSC committed suicide in the cemetery at the bottom of the college hill.

Radio station
WWLR goes international with streaming
Blurb; WWLR is ready for the web! It took some time but the LSC radio station is finally ready to broadcast online. Which is causing some excitement on campus.
The Lyndon State College radio station WWLR can soon be listened to around the world. The station recently completed streaming, which enables it to broadcast online, allowing any individual with Internet access to listen to the shows.
“I think it's awesome,” Carmen Henry, DJ “smallz” said. Henry who hosts a techno/hip-hop show feels that streaming will greatly impact the school. “I think it will up our publicity, more people will listen around the United States and outside of this area. “My high school friends and family will now be able to listen.”
With months of preparation, the station wired the first floor of Vail to obtain Internet access. Streaming takes the music that's played over their FM transmitter and coverts it into a digital signal that goes out over the Internet.
The idea of streaming was brought up about 16 months ago by the management of WWLR. They began discussing their strategic goals for the future of the organization and streaming online became their number one priority.
The strategic plan had started to yield results through improvements to the station. This included renovating their transmitter, streaming, and through agreement with northeastsportsnet.com and Eric Berry using his live remote equipment to broadcast school events.
Reaching Their Goal
The process to stream was a long and complicated process including preparing a budget and speaking with engineers. The first floor of Vail had never been wired for Internet access, and the college wanted to wait on adding the Internet connection, Jeremy Lacey, general manager, said.
However, the station wanted to continue with the streaming concept and decided to pay for the installations through fundraising. The total cost for just WWLR to wire was $1,200, and to wire all of first floor Vail was $8,600 which the station paid for out of their underwriting funds. “The radio station has become a great asset to LSC,” Lacey said. “Streaming represents one of the major historic evolutions for LSC.”

Critic Rewrite
Headline:
LSC’s own Chip n’ Dale
Blurb:
Richard Dale Roy has spent the last three months stripping to support him while in school. However he admits it isn’t for everyone and has a few negative repercussions. More.
Story:
Richard Dale Roy is a business major at LSC. However he is using a very different method to pay his way through college then most students at LSC. He is stripping in private shows as well as escorting. Roy got his start by auditioning at Hard Bodies in White River Junction. While the idea of stripping appealed to him, he didn’t care for the “meat show” that he felt the establishment perpetuated.
A New Endeavor So he moved on to escorting and private shows. His clientele grew through word of mouth advertising. And for safety reasons perspective clients contact him through an untraceable cell phone to arrange “Dates”. These “Dates’ can include dancing, dinner movies, etc. “It doesn’t matter what you’re doing,” Roy Said. “Its just treating people how they should be treated…. With no physical contact.”
Roy admits that he doesn’t strip just for the money, “I do it for self esteem there aren’t many people out there right now, and there is a need for older men to be nicer to older women because their husbands treat them badly.”
A Word of Caution Although Roy enjoys his job and plans to open his own dance hall after graduation for people in their 30’s and 40’s, he warns it is not for everyone. He warns of hypocrites in the community that “persecute you one day and pay you the next.” As well as trouble with relationships, long hours, and the stigma that comes with job can be more than many can handle.
Internal Link: Its Hard work being a Stripper It requires you to be well groomed such as: Very clean and manageable hair, Manicured nail es with clear nail polish, Chest hair has to b kept “toned down” Excess body hair should be removed, As well as maintain a tan,
and lots of lotions and oils. Roy estimates that for every hour he spends working he spends 20 minutes preparing his body for the stage.

Money online
Putting a newspaper online is not a good money making venture. Despite the fact that advertisments can be sold on the website. But the thing is that the web is a vast land of FREE information media and often times new fads. But that is what is so grand about the web, what is online is for the most part is free.
However I do see the problem that newspapers are losing money with complete access to the news online but they knew the medium before they went online. I do not like the idea of charging for articles or archive access. It just turns people away from your website. I do understand the need to make money however I do not think that online newspapers are the place to do it.
I like the fact that the articles that the Caladonian Record has online are free. More of them would be great, but they have made an honest effort and are still incouraging the purchase of their paper. It is a step in the right direction.
I don't know exactly how to solve the problem of making money while online. But the net is a strange relatively new medium, we have to feel our way as we go along.
