SPORTS CELEBRATION!

A little over a month after Apple unveiled the iPhone 5C and 5S mobile phones at their September keynote address, the tech giant presented two new models of their iPad tablet, along with the announcement of the newest operating software for Macs and MacBooks, OS X Mavericks. Apple announced on Tuesday the newest iPad, the iPad $LU DV WKH ÀIWK JHQHUDWLRQ RI the tablet that has been on the market since 2010. The iPad Air is the successor to the fourth generation iPad, which featured D 5HWLQD GLVSOD\ IRU ÀUVW WLPH LQ the tablet’s history. The Air differentiates itself from the fourth generation iPad with a weight of just one pound and is thinner than any iPad before it.

The Air also features a ÀYH PHJDSL[HO UHDU FDPHUD DQG a high definition front-facing camera for FaceTime.

Cal U Theatre and Dance presents “The Mouse That Roared” The fall’s second presentation by California University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Theatre and Dance showcases the talents of Cal U’s newest crop of aspiring actors and technicians. First-year students will appear onstage and work behind the scenes to present “The Mouse That Roared,” a satirical Cold War comedy based on the 1955 novel by Leonard Wibberley and adapted for the stage by Christopher Sergel. The madcap plot takes off when Gloriana XII, ruler of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick, concocts a plan to address the duchy’s economic woes: declare war on the most powerful nation in the world. Longbows and arrows, Qbombs and mad professors combine with a love story to create a delightfully funny tale and a a jolly good time for the audience. Curtain time is 8 p.m. on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, with shows at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Nov. 2. All performances are in the Gerald and Carolyn Blaney Theatre in Steele Hall.

New club on campus holds walk to take strides against suicide

MATT HAGY

for the CalTimes ____________________________ California University of Pennsylvania’s Secular Student Society hosted the AFSP Out of the Darkness Suicide Prevention Walk at Roadman Park last Saturday. The two-hour long event was held to raise money for suicide prevention and to

bring attention to the negative effects of depression and how they can lead to losing a loved one to suicide. College students across the country organize “Out of the Darkness Campus Walks” each year to raise money to help prevent suicide, increase national awareness about depression and provide support for people who have lost a loved one to suicide. These 3–5 mile walk

events occur in the spring at campuses across the country, and together they raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for AFSP’s efforts on the local and national level. Dr. Swarn Gill, an associate professor in Cal U’s Department of Earth Sciences, is the Secular Student Society’s faculty sponsor. “I am relatively open about atheism, so a few students who

helped start the club recommended me for faculty advisor,” Dr. Gill said. “It was easy to say yes because I think college is a natural place for a lot of people to think more deeply about the world. Not only from material they are learning in classes, but the experience of meeting people from different walks of life exposes students to people with varying perspectives [that are] different from what they might have faced being in the area they grew up in.” Although he hasn’t personally experienced the loss of a loved one, Dr. Gill is supportive of the cause his club has chosen to support. “I think it is a very important issue for two reasons – one is that it raises awareness for mental health issues and depression,” he said. “I think these things don’t get talked about often enough and stay hidden. It’s part of the reason why people feeling depressed, feeling like they have emotional or mental issues don’t feel comfortable enough coming forward with their problems. Secondly, as someone is only positive about this existence, ending one’s own life seem especially tragic to me because I don’t know [of] any other chance to be conscious – to be aware [and] to feel. I’ve [thought] that it’s worth bearing the pain to get through to the good stuff.” Timothy Bauman, senior, anthropology, is president of the Secular Student Society.

“I want a place for the student body to feel welcome to discuss beliefs regardless of different opinions and without shame or fear,” Bauman said. “[We foster an environment that] leads us to show ourselves as who we DUH QRW ZKR ZH DUH GHÀQHG DV by society by taking part [in] or initiating positive social events such as the walk or bringing guest speakers to campus that help promote secular ideas and thoughts in positive ways.” Bauman considered the walk a success despite rainy conditions. “There were 70 people at the event, including walk up registrants and… considering I put together the walk in under PRQWKV« , IHHO TXLWH VDWLVÀHG with the turnout,” he said. “I do hope it continues to grow though, because one of the driving focuses of the walk is to spread awareness.” “This issue of depression and suicide is really close to my heart,” Erica Glotz, junior, forensic anthropology and a member of the committee for this event said. “I currently have a loved one that has dealt with depression for years and I made sure I could show my support in an event like this.” The Secular Student Society intends on establishing the walk as an annual Cal U event and donations can still be made online or by money order. Contact Timothy Bauman at bau3606@ calu.edu for more information.

Biology Club attends Johnstown Vampire 5k _______________________ BY LAUREN GRIFFITH for the CalTimes

_______________________ Runners have been known to do some crazy things – like running long distances while people throw paint on them. This weekend some runners took it to the extreme by dressing up in their favorite Halloween costumes for the Vampire 5K in Johnstown, Pa. on Oct. 19. Vampires, zombies and other creatures of the night (such as bees) met at the John P. Murtha Donor Pavilion to start the 3.1-mile race around the build-

ing of the organization the race was put together to raise money for, the American Red Cross. The registration fee of $20 was waived as long as blood was given any time during the month of September. University of Pennsylania’s Biology Club laced up their running shoes before the big event. President Aryn Hess and Vice President Ashley Hughes came up with the idea for the club to participate –some of the members even dressed up. Other costumes at the event included a hotdog, a hamburger and a bumble bee. The race was child-friendly, and many

of the younger kids chose their favorite superhero or animal to dress up as. ´,W ZDV GHÀQLWHO\ ZRUWK LW EHcause it’s for the American Red Cross,” Alexis Sirnic, freshman, said. I had a lot of fun though because I genuinely enjoy running.” The race trail was decorated accordingly at different stops and after the race festive booths supplied some healthy options for refueling, such as milk and pretzels. The American Red Cross hoped to raise $6,000 from this event to help prepare for and respond to local disasters.

Shots of Campus by the Cal Times’ Photographers

This photo was taken by Matt Kaminski, Cal Times photographer, from the Vulcan Garage. He used ¶ IJȽ ºÎº ÁºÃȺ ¶Ã¹ ¶ Ⱥž¶ º»»º¸É to capture both town and campus. Lightning is striking over the hills beyond campus.

This photo of Coover Hall was taken by Jeff Helsel, our director of publications. The effect used is called HDR, which is when the photographer snaps three shots of the same scene and combines them. One image is over-exposed, one is under-exposed and one is taken on normal settings.

Our opinion editor, Casey Flores, took this shot outside of Manderino Library near the end of summer season. It was originally taken for his Black and White Photography class, but he kept the original version with color.

Pornography addiction A major issue in today’s society ________________________ to ponder. BY CASEY FLORES Opinion Editor

________________________ WARNING: This contains graphic insights into the porn industry. Reader discretion is advised.

Don Jon, a movie recently released in theaters, featured a main character (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who is addicted to viewing pornography. The movie isn’t entirely about porn, but this article examines the industry and its effects. While porn is widely viewed and joked about by college students, pornography addiction is a topic spoken about a lot less often, but is a problem in today’s society. Don Jon paints Jon as an everyday guy, and in fact, he is! He, along with 40 million adults in the US, regularly view pornography, according to familysafemedia. com. That’s about 17% of adults. Of those 40 million people, 72% of them are males. Of the male adults in the age range of 18-34, 70% view porn regularly, according to a study done by ComScore. Considering the large majority of porn consumers are males attracted to females and I, myself, am a male, this is mostly written to that demographic. Ladies, I assure you, this will still make for an interesting read and many of the points made can apply to you, too.

WHAT IS PORN ADDICTION? So what exactly is porn addiction? According to sexualrecovery. com, porn addiction is similar to a chemical or substance addiction in that porn addicts tend to replace important relationships and commitments with their “drug” of choice: pornography. It’s a form of self-medication. I’d argue that anyone who legitimately relies on porn for pleasure is probably in a bit of a pickle. Here’s why.

VIEWING

PORN LEADS TO OBJECTIFICATION OF HUMANS With today’s quick and easy access to pornography, men can watch highly erotic scenes whenever they please. Many people argue that this does much to objectify women. Feminists know this. Catherine MacKinnon, a law professor at the University of Michigan and a leading feminist, said that in porn videos, “women are presented dehumanized as sexual objects… as whores by nature.” This could also be said of the men who are in the videos. If you’re viewing these videos frequently, then the idea of objecWLÀFDWLRQ LV DOUHDG\ LPSODQWHG LQ your head, and if you’re currently in a relationship, how is it not cheating if you are getting virtual sexual pleasure from another percourtesy: xxxchurch son? These are just some things

Also, consider the nature of these videos. Would you want your girlfriend, sister, brother or mom to have been a part of them? Are the people in the videos not worth every bit of human dignity those close to you are? And are these people really “stars,” or are they victims?

WHAT ABOUT THE PORN STARS? Shelley Lubben, a former porn star who is now an opponent of pornography, tells about the lesser-known side of the industry. In one of her speeches on YouTube, she said, “The attitude of every woman in the sex industry [is]: we hate men.” She explained porn stars pretend to love men but simply want their money and want to destroy their life because they got “screwed over” by a man that abused them at one point. She went on to explain how porn stars become porn stars. Though it is “their choice” to participate in them, they often view it as their only choice. “I don’t care how glamorous you guys see the porn stars,” Lubben said. “We all had to work our way to the top. We all started out either on the street or an escort agency or prostitution. We’ve all been bled upon…smacked around… we’ve been through hell.” “Porn stars are the best actresses in the world because we never step out of character like the Hollywood actresses do… we were all trained. But the truth is, when no one is looking, we’d go home and just sit on the steps in our apartment... and we get totally drunk, snort some meth… cocaine… I don’t care what porn star tells you she loves it, it’s not true,” Lubben said. She explained most porn performers are herpes carriers while reportedly about half carry HIV, though she believes that number is higher. She also said about a quarter of the people in the business have chlamydia or gonorrhea. This is the porn industry. “[Men who watch porn] are contributing to the abuse and degradation of little girls who never had a chance to grow up… the next time you watch a porn movie, I want you to ask yourself, ‘I wonder what her name is,’” she said. Shelley said so much more that I don’t have room to include in this piece. I encourage you to search her name on YouTube; \RX·OO ÀQG VRPH RI KHU DPD]LQJ speeches. She also has a website, www.shelleylubben.com.

SEXUAL SCIENCE If, by chance, none of these statistics or quotes have caused a changed of heart on pornography usage, perhaps this will. When a male climaxes, the brain’s level of dopamine, a

neurotransmitter that is related to reward-motivated behavior, increases. This is naturally meant to be a good thing; however, as humans overexpose themselves unnaturally to this neurotransmitter by watching porn so frequently, it becomes a bad thing and dulls real-life sexual experience. According to psychologytoday. com, “A growing number of young, healthy Internet pornography users are complaining of delayed ejaculation, inability to be turned on by real partners and sluggish erections.” In fact, Carlo Foresta, head of the Italian Society of Andrology and Sexual Medicine, found that 70% of young men they treated for sexual performance problems had been viewing Internet pornography regularly. A survey of 28,000 regular porn viewers ZHUH IRXQG WR ÀUVW UHVSRQG OHVV to porn sites, then have a drop in sex drive and in the end it became impossible for these young men to get an erection naturally in real-life sexual circumstances. Though the condition is not irreversible (it takes a few months of abstaining from porn to recover), ZKR ZDQWV WKDW LQ WKH ÀUVW SODFH"

WHY WRITE THIS? Understand that this is not meant to be “preachy.” Its purpose is to raise awareness of an epidemic that is all too unfortunately rarely discussed. No one, including me, is above this. Culture is constantly throwing sexual references, images and videos at all of us and sometimes it’s a bit much to ward off. While porn is often celebrated, many men secretly despise the chains with which porn entangles them. Many are looking for a way out. It would be remiss of me to bring awareness to the severity of this problem without offering a way out. If you’d like help or would like to read more regarding what I’ve written about, check out xxxchurch.com. I know it’s a bit of an ironic name, but there you can find everything from supportive blogs, motivational videos and even a test developed by Ph.D. Patrick J. Carnes that can tell you whether you’re addicted to porn or not. They also have free accountability software that sends biweekly reports of questionable Internet activity to a trusted friend who may want to help you out of your bind. I unashamedly have this software on my personal computer just for safety. Is porn addiction a struggle in your life? Do you use it to selfmedicate? Do you struggle with looking at women as nothing more than sex targets? Do you have problems performing sexually in real life because of porn over-usage? Perhaps it’s time to seek out some help.

Volleyball team continue success in PSAC crossover play _______________________ BY MATT HAGY for the CalTimes ____________________________ The Cal U Vulcan women’s volleyball team sure does love PSAC crossover play. Much like their four game sweep three weeks ago at home, the Vulcans dominated by winning all four games this past weekend on the road at Kutztown and East Stroudsburg. The dominant crossover weekend began in Kutztown on Friday morning when the Vulcans roasted the host Golden Bears in three sets by scores of (25-19, 25-21, 25-18). Junior Laurel Miller and sophomore Mary Lavery paced the Vulcan offense with Miller picking up 15 kills and Lavery adding 12 kills of her own. Cal U received an additional offensive boost by senior Molly Delaney who

finished the game with eight kills and sophomore Miranda Fouzie picked up a solid seven kills. It was Delaney’s defense that had the most impact for the Vulcans dominating the Golden Bears on the net as she picked up 12 digs while her fellow senior teammate Abby Freund added 10 digs. Freund’s return to the lineup has really changed the dynamic of the Vulcans both offensively and defensively recently as she controlled the offense with ease against Kutztown with 40 assists. The Vulcans picked up right where they left off in the morning Friday night when they bested the West Chester Golden Rams 3-1 by scores of (25-20, 1725, 25-23, 25-11).

On Saturday, the Vulcans

In the Saturday morning matinee, the Vulcans trampled over the host Warriors in three sets by scores of (25-13, 25-13, 25-15).

the Wolves posting nine of them while tying a team-high seven digs defensively.

With the win, the Vulcans move into a three-way tie for

first place in the PSAC West after IUP was upset by the Edinboro Fighting Scots in Indiana.
