Helping People Just Like You Lisa J. Buday Attorney at Law “New Student Convocation” welcomes Cal U’s class of ‘22 about maintaining a lifelong relationship with

By Angel Funk Opinions Editor FUN8385@calu.edu

On Aug. 26 in the Convocation Center, the newest California University of Pennsylvania students attended New Student Convocation.

As the official welcome to the university students enjoyed speeches, a candle-lighting ceremony in the quad, as well as ice cream and fireworks on the President’s lawn.

“This new beginning is incredibly exciting,” said the evening’s guest speaker, alumna Kelsey DeNardo, “but I know that it can also be unfamiliar and scary.”

Dr. Bruce Barnhart, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, introduced DeNardo, as well as the stage party. DeNardo, a twice graduate of the university, used her speech to give the incoming students her tips to make the most of their time at Cal U. Her speech gave insight into her own college experience, using her time to speak on the student life aspect of the university experience with her tips as guidelines for students to make the most of their time while in attendance.

Other important members of the Cal U community took the opportunity to speak to students per their respective roles on campus.

The Director of Alumni Relations and Cal U graduate Ryan Barnhart spoke to students

new friends, faculty, and the university.

Student Government President Seth Shiley gave his introduction as an opportunity to extend himself as a resource and a voice of support to the incoming student body as well to introduce President of the University and alumnae, Geraldine M. Jones.

“These next few years are an opportunity to dedicate yourself to your studies, take part in all that the University offers and share your strengths, knowledge, and hope for the future with your new teachers, classmates, and friends,” said President Jones, “Please make every minute count.”

Following President Jones speech, Provost Barnhart instructed students to follow Welcome Weekend Warriors to the quad for the candle lighting ceremony. The symbolic event represents the new beginnings for the students with their candles and classmates.

Jen Sigado, director of the Welcome Center, introduced the event and thanked students for their participation in “Welcome Weekend.”

Other prominent members of the Cal U campus took the opportunity to speak and aided in the passing of the flame from the Vulcan Statue to the student’s candles.

The evening ended with students enjoying ice cream in front of South Hall on the President’s lawn with a fireworks display.

A Catholic Church Scandal Shocks the State

By James Rudolph, News Editor RUD2588@calu.edu On Aug. 14, almost two weeks before the beginning of the Fall 2018 semester, Pennsylvania made international headlines. At 2:25pm, a Pennsylvania grand jury report was released that detailed a sexual abuse scandal, involving hundreds of priests and thousands of victims, mainly pre-pubescent children and teenagers, that spans a 71-year period. Christians across the state in all dioceses have been affected by these shocking events, and Christians around the world are in disbelief, as our state joins in on a sexscandal that has been surrounding the Roman Catholic Church for decades.

The lengthy 884-page grand jury report identifies 301 priests involved with sexual-assault claims from over 1,000 victims. The grand jury report, that began two years ago, reviewed more than two-million documents from the church’s “secret archives” that detail reports of abuse that go back to 1947. These documents contain complaints of sexual-assault against clergymen and a lengthy cover-up that involved at least $5.8 million spent by the church in legal fees and protective action.

The 18-month investigation covered six diocesesAllentown, Erie, Greensburg, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Scranton. The two dioceses of Philadelphia and Altoona-Johnstown were already subject to a grand jury investigation that reveled incriminating evidence of sexual-abuse and cover-ups involving priests and bishops in the area.

“We believe that the real number of children whose records were lost or who were afraid ever to come forward is in the thousands,” the grand jury report says.

“Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing; they hid it all.”

The report contains horrifying details about priests’ abuse of multiple children and a systematic method for covering up the accusations and reports. There was a long history and pattern towards how the church handled the accusations. An F.B.I report highlights how the reports intentionally used language to hide an accusation. Euphemisms were used; instead of “rape” say “inappropriate contact”

or “boundary issue” The report identifies how proper investigations were not conducted by professionals, but rather fellow clergymen who were sympathetic or friendly to the priest. The church allowed individuals accused to submit themselves for psychiatric evaluation, to determine if they are a pedophile or not, based on their own reports.

Whenever a priest was to be removed, because of accusations, members of the church were told very limited information, or none at all.

The report found that accused priests were still allowed housing and payment from the church, even if they were using those resources to rape children. Finally, and above all, clergy were told to never talk to police. If an accusation was proven true, the priest was quietly removed and sent to another diocese, in the same state or another state, that would take them in.

And the accusations against the priests are heinous. The report describes systematic methods of grooming young children involving the utilization of alcohol, religion and shame to prey on their victims.

A 7-year-old boy in Erie was sexually abused by a priest who then told him to go to confession and “confess” his sins to the same priest. A victim in Pittsburgh was forced to pose naked as Christ on the cross while he was photographed by multiple priests. Priests gave the boy, and other victims of theirs, gold cross necklaces to mark them as “groomed” for other priests to abuse them. In Greensburg, a 17-year-old girl was impregnated by her priest, where her then forged a pastor’s signature on a marriage certificate and divorced her months later. A priest in Harrisburg abused five sisters from the same family and collected urine samples, pubic hair, and menstrual blood.

A Scranton priest who served time in prison for abusing children was found to have been HIV-positive for years. One priest in Allenton, who abused multiple young boys, was given a recommendation to work at Disney World, the grand jury found. Another priest in Allentown admitted to sexually molesting a boy. According

to different documents, he pleaded for help, but the clergy did nothing and allowed to him to remain in ministry for years after. The accusations and horrific details go on and on, and they all were covered up in an effort for the church to protect itself. Many of the victims, the oldest being 83, describe the long-lasting affects their trauma has had on them. Many of them turned to drugs and alcohol After the report was released, Pennsylvania’s Attorney General Josh Shapiro said the report is, “the largest, most comprehensive report into child sexual abuse within the Catholic Church ever produced in the United States.”

The day before the report was published, Cardinal Donald Wuerl, former Bishop of Pittsburgh from 1988-2006, who is now the head of the Archdiocese of Washington, said the report “will be a reminder of the grave failings that the church must acknowledge and for which it must seek forgiveness.” The grand jury report found that, while Bishop of Pittsburgh, he mishandled the accusations in an effort to increase his power and influence in the political realm of the Roman Catholic Church.

According to the grand jurors, almost every case was too old to be prosecuted. The statutes of limitation laws in Pennsylvania make prosecution difficult. In Pennsylvania, victims of child sex abuse have until they are 30 years old to file civil suits, while they have until the age of 50 to file for criminal charges. Additionally, many of the accused priests are dead. However, a priest in Erie and a priest in Greensburg had charges filed against them for child sex abuse.

For Catholics around the world, this is a call for massive reform of the Catholic Church. For an entity that covered up world-wide sexual-misconduct for years, many Catholics have had enough. While finishing a mass in Washington D.C. this past Sunday, Wuerl attempted to address the sex-scandal when a church attendant stood up and yelled, “Shame on you!” This was Wuerl’s first public appearance in twoweeks. A petitioned was launched by LifeSiteNews that urges Cardinal Wuerl’s resignation as Archbishop of Washington D.C. So far, over 10,000 signatures are on the petition.

Changes to the MAC Lab and Printing

By Angel Funk, Opinons Editor FUN8385@calu.edu Jerron Corley, Contributor COR8061@calu.edu Students returning to campus were greeted to a significant change in printing services as they went to print their syllabi the first week of classes. The changes include a number of kiosks around campus, a decrease in the number of prints from the Multimedia Access Center (MAC) Lab, and changes in the prices of printing.

“This new system is going to offer more convenience to our students,” said Christine Kindl, vice president for communications and marketing.

The system uses Wepa, a cloud technology designed to allow printing from devices and cloud storage services Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive provided with Cal U Outlook accounts.

Kiosks in several locations around campus give access to printing within buildings like Eberly Hall.

Although the system is different compared to last year, the process of paying for printing is the same. Students can access their printing accounts at each station by swiping their CalCard.

Students can also send their document to the print station on the Internet or their phones through a mobile app. The new stations extend the university’s previous system, which was only located in the computer labs at Noss Hall.

“Sustainability is a big factor in this,” said Kindl, “you are only picking up and paying for the pages that you are printing.”

The new technology has brought changes in

pricing for the printing services with an increase in the price to print increasing from five cents per black and white page to nine cents and color prints now costing thirty-five cents per page to print. Students were not made aware of the changes until arriving on campus, including Student Government.

“I was under the impression that nothing had changed,” said Seth Shiley, Student Government President, “I found out when I went to print like everyone else.”

Students have also seen a decrease in the amount allotted per semesters from twenty-five dollars to five dollars. Despite the price changes, student fees have remained the same, and free printing on campus available through the MAC Lab has decreased from thirty free color or black and white prints sheets per day to ten.

“Not being able to utilize the MAC Lab is unfair to students,” said Shiley, “they use this service to represent their club properly.”

Students like Zoe Webster, a junior graphic design student, find that the kiosks do bring ease but limit organizations ability to produce material.

“As the imaging director for WCAL, I often use the Mac Lab to print material for our organization,” said Webster, “the convenience of simply requesting prints is vital as we have many rules for purchasing that would make ordering poster each time extremely hard.”

Webster explained that the process set in place requires that a purchase request and present the potential purchase to the general body at their bi-weekly meetings. Then if approved, it would have to be taken to either a third party or the print center on campus, further delaying receiving materials.

“Quitting smoking is easy.

I’ve done it a thousand times” - Mark Twain In 2014, an estimated 16.8-percent (40.0 million) U.S. adults were current cigarette smokers. Of these, 76.8-percent (30.7 million) smoked every day, and 23.2-percent (9.3 million) smoked some days. While this number is down from rates in the mid 90’s, it still presents a huge public health concern. Smoking is responsible for about 90-percent of deaths due to lung cancer and COPD.

Nicotine’s effect on the body: Nicotine stimulates the CNS meso-limbic dopamine system, which is believed to be the neuronal mechanism underlying the reinforcement and reward experienced with smoking.

Smoking cessation is associated with a flu-like syndrome, cravings, irritability, insomnia, headache and fatigue.

Nicotine withdrawal can lead to insomnia, anxiety, depression and exacerbate underlying psychiatric disorders.

Nicotine Replacement Prescribing Information Nicotine replacement products (gum, patches, etc.) are all equally effective in helping patients kick the habit.

Use a patch for continuous relief from cravings and the gum, spray or inhaler for breakthrough urges if needed.

The Nun Movie Trailer, Expressing Mixed Emotions

By Tom Caton, Staff Writer CAT7359@calu.edu

Horror fans will be in for a major treat once The Nun hits theaters everywhere beginning September 7, 2018.

This horror film is a spin-off of 2016’s The Conjuring 2 and is also the fifth installment in The Conjuring series. With more than 19 million views on YouTube, the movie trailer for The Nun has been scaring fans in both good ways and in bad ways.

Previously set to be written by David Leslie, The Nun ultimately was written by Gary Dauberman, who is working from a story he penned with The Conjuring director James Wan. Dauberman is best known for writing the scripts for Annabelle and Annabelle: Creation. He also co-wrote last year’s super scary smash hit, It. Corin Hardy meanwhile will direct. This is Hardy’s second feature after 2015’s The Hallow. Here are a few details to know before getting dressed up in your Sunday’s best.

This film acts a prequel to The Conjuring.

In fact, it will be the earliest-set film in the continuity timeline with its 1952 backdrop.

The film was also teased by a photograph in 2017’s Annabelle: Creation. However, it appears WB is now viewing The Nun as a continuation of a shared universe, as opposed to merely another spinoff.

The trailer runs just over 90 seconds long and presents the synopsis of the film and the best jump scares the film has to offer.

However, there is one iconic jump scare in the trailer fans are describing as “too scary.”

This scene everyone is discussing about

shows Sister Irene, portrayed by Taissa Farmiga, walking down a dark corridor as a nun figure, with no visible face, walks behind her. She turns around to face the figure as the demonic nun attacks her, causing the huge jump scare. Most horror fans reacted in a positive way to this jump scare, as most fans areexpected too. However, some fans have stated negative criticism towards the trailer due to that jump scare.

Another mini trailer that is about six seconds long, was recently banned from YouTube for being too scary after thousands of users retweeted warning others about its jump scare. The video is indeed shocking, but also a little deceptive.

It begins with a volume symbol that makes it look as if the sound on the video has been turned down. The user who then turns up the sound in response will get an earful of sudden noise, along with a terrifying closeup of the demonic title character. After a tweet was put out on Twitter warning about the jump scare, it received more than 100,000 retweets! Shortly after the huge jump in retweets, YouTube officially removed the trailer from its website.

In conclusion, if you are a horror fan and are extremely excited for The Nun to be released, prepare yourself for September 7.

The Nun is coming…pray for forgiveness.

Cal U Welcomes Free Daps

By Olivia Wilson, Staff Writer WIL6494@calu.edu

As a part of Welcome Weekend, Free Daps came to Cal U’s campus on August 24th for a free show hosted by our Student Activities Board. Free Daps is a group of freestyle rappers and improvisors who are known for performing at Disney World and Universal Studios.

The group which consisted of Heath, Jonathan, and Francisco, like to incorporate hip-hop to create their own improv set. They also love to include their audience and tailor each show to their specific crowd.

The crowd favorite was when they asked every audience member to pull something out of their bag or pockets, and they went around and created a rap song about the random objects. Later in the show, they pulled an audience member, Jen Talley, onto the stage. The guys asked her a handful of questions about her life including what her major is, what clubs she is involved with on campus, along with random facts like what her high school mascot was. From there, they created a song about her right on the spot

which the crowd also seemed to enjoy.

Since the event was Friday during Welcome Weekend the event had a great turnout of new students. SAB saw this event as a great opportunity to introduce their club to the incoming class. The Student Activities Board’s President, Jessica Crosson, said that “Free Daps was great to have for Welcome Weekend! They were very upbeat and involved the audience in the vast majority of their show. Some students even told us that they recognized them from performing at Disney World or Universal Studies which was great to hear as well. I’m hoping this successful event will help increase attendance at our other events and encourage students to get involved with our organization.”

SAB was happy with the outcome and hopes to have the same turnout at their future shows. To find out what else the Student Activities Board is planning this semester, you can find their calendar on their OrgSync page or follow them on social media.

Albums of the

CAL LIFE Sweetener - Ariana Grande Ariana Grande’s fourth studio album, Sweetener, is a clear evolution away from the sound of her earlier work. With Dangerous Womanconsidered the transitional point, this latest release is where she fully commits. Sweetenerhas a much more mature feel, relying less on the bubblegum pop style she had originally and just letting the music speak for itself. Add to that the fact that this is probably one of the most flawlessly produced albums I think I’ve ever heard and you have the means to make one great album. “no tears left to cry” and “God is a woman” were the perfect choices for singles- they are by far the best songs on the album.

Other standouts for me were the title track, “sweetener,” “goodnight n go,” and “blazed,” featuring Pharrell Williams. However, for as good as this album is, none is without faults. While each track individually is solid, there is very little difference dynamically between songs. There’s no rise or fall to the album, just a lot of the same sound, which can make listening through the entire 15 tracks at once a bit difficult. Overall though, this album is unquestionably of a quality worthy of belonging to the biggest pop star in the world.

Movie Marathon Reviews with Jeromy Mackey!

I’m tired of suffering from reboot-exhaustion.

There are so many original movies of quality, like Eighth Grade and Hereditary, that get overshadowed at the box office by these retreads. Ocean’s 8 tries to reinvigorate its genre with its extremely talented all-female cast (s/o to Anne Hathaway for stealing the movie) but still falls flat in line with heist genre tropes. I wanted less of the boring plot, and more of the characters and their wonderful actresses.

I rate this movie 65/100.

Summer Internship Spotlight *Internships were submitted to the Cal Times Twitter*

Skylar Steinhar t My internship is actually a volunteer position with the Crisis Text Line. The Crisis Text Line is a free, anonymous service that allows people to chat with trained counselors that are readily available during a time of need. The volunteers go through 30 hours total of training. It is self paced and done on the computer. We are trained about specific issues that a texter may be experiencing, such as a suicidal thoughts, self-harm, substance use, bullying, LGBTQ+, and other stressful situations. Through the training we are taught good communication techniques, for instance asking open-ended questions rather than yes or no. We are trained on how to give risk assessments, how to deescalate situations, and come up with an action.

An important part of being a counselor is being able to give validations and forming empathetic responses.

When we work with a texter, we are not there to give them advice; however, we do work with them and help them form their own action plan. The Crisis Text Line values its volunteers and the concept of self-care, which is very important no matter what field of work you’re in. At the end of each shift, we come up with a plan for ourselves to help us reduce any stress that we may be feeling, this could include reading a book, listening to music, or taking a bath. For me, being a part of the Crisis Text Line is one of the best things to ever happen to me. I want everyone to know that you are not alone, and that it’s okay to not be okay at times. There is always someone there to listen to you and to help you. If you ever need someone to talk to you can reach a volunteer counselor from the Crisis Text Line by texting “Start” to 741741.

Being Involved Matters

By Angel Hart Funk, Opinions Editor FUN8385@calu.edu

The common denominator amongst all college students is to complete their degree, that will hopefully help them to have a career in a field they are passionate. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment is projected to increase by 11.5 million from 2016 to 2026 in what CBS calls “the best job market in a decade” for 2018 graduates.

With the job market booming and degree holders in high demand, unfortunately, we’re also seeing the highest amount of student debt ever at an estimated $1.5 trillion in the U.S. according to Forbes magazine.

Good grades usually can no longer carry you into a good job as well as the question lingering if a college education is worth the price in loans and the interest acquired from these loans, make it more critical than ever too and out and get the most out of your degree by getting involved on your campus.

This could be something as simple as joining your major’s organization or a club that will give you experience in a relevant field, but it could even be in a particular interest that you’ve always wanted to try.

Many organizations give students the ability

to build a network of working in their field and gain insight into the industry they hope to achieve employment after graduation. In my major organization and others, as a national member, you get access to free resources.

Employers look for these organizations that emphasize professional development according to gradschools.com because it shows that students look explained their knowledge in the field and are willing to take advantage of opportunities.

Outside of major focused clubs, every organization on campus allows students to gain leadership experience, develop skills, and get real experience for their resume. Cal U students pay a $300 fee that automatically gives them the ability to join or create any club or organization they wish.

Additionally, you can direct your career in whatever you wish by getting experience in the particular club. If you are pursuing a business degree but choice to become involved with STEM-focused organizations, you could potentially boost your ability to become a stand out applicant when applying for jobs.

For undecided students, becoming involved

AP with things that peak interest or learning more about the clubs on campus may be able to help guide you into a degree.

There are many reasons to join a club or organization on Cal U’s campus, for some it may not be an option but the lasting benefits can be seen in the success stories of the alumni, current students, and in employers seeking qualified graduates.

Taking A Knee: What It Means For 2018

By James Ruldoph,News Editor RUD2588@calu.edu

More than two years have gone by since Colin Kaepernick first began his public protest police brutality, and the fire is still going. What began as one player’s personal protest during the national anthem for the 49ers and Packers on Aug. 14, 2016 has become one of the hottest household conversation pieces. Within that time, we have seen hundreds of players take a knee at such a prevalent rate that it drew the ire of President Trump. The question is now, as we get ready for the 2018 season to begin, what are we to expect from the players?

Kaepernick said he began the protests to fight police brutality and racial injustice across the country. He and 49ers teammate Eric Reid said the kneeling was a respectful gesture, similar to flying the flag at half-mast during times of tragedy. However, some feel that kneeling is disrespectful to those who have died for their country, as they feel the national anthem honors U.S service members. In 2016, the NFL released a statement which says that players are not required to stand for the national anthem. Its game operations manual states that players “should stand” for the anthem but isn’t required.

After an interview on Aug 26, 2016, Kaepernick pledged to donate $1 million to different organizations that help communities in need and pledged to donate $100,000 per month to different organizations that are involved in spreading awareness and stopping racial injustice.

As of September 2017, he has paid over $900,000 to different organizations such as Meals on Wheels, United We Dream, and Black Veterans for Social Justice. The San Francisco 49ers matched Kaepernick’s original pledge and paid $1 million to two different organizations.

What started as a protest for social and racial injustice has now become a platform for NFL players to peacefully protest injustice and political changes in America. Across the NFL, players would sit or kneel with teammates, sometimes with linked arms or raised fists, to spread awareness on multiple topics, such as police-brutality and Trump’s policy decisions. During week 3 of the 2017 season, over 200 players engaged in protesting behavior directed towards President Trump. Three teams even refused to exit the locker room during the national anthem, including the Steelers, all except former Army Ranger Alejandro Villanueva.

However, the times are a’ changing as we begin the 2018 season.

The next few points I am going to make are my subjective observations about people’s attitudes and conversations regarding this topic.

The two comments I’ve heard said the most, over the past two years, about the NFL protests have contained nothing about racial inequality or police brutality. What I’ve heard the most are something along the lines of these two statements: “It doesn’t matter, the national anthem is honoring our troops and it is never okay to disrespect them,” and “can’t the players be doing more than just taking a knee?”

I find the immediate association with the national anthem and military service interesting. I would find it difficult to for anyone else to honor the flag and national anthem more than a United States servicemember (not every specific individual, but in general). But our national anthem represents more than just our military history and prowess.

It represents the unyielding will of the American people and to look at our flag as a symbol of hope, something that isn’t concrete and can’t be offended.

I get rather upset when we immediately associate our anthem and national pride immediately with our military. Is that the only thing we should be proud of? Is that the only thing we should be proud of, as Americans? I think the average American knows the answer to those questions, and I think U.S. servicemembers are proud to be American’s for more than just their military service.

With regards to the question of can players do more than just take a knee, the answer is yes, and they are doing more. Just look at Kaepernick, who pledged nearly $2 million for charity just days after

the protests began, and he paid every cent. He has given his own personal time to charity work and even donated his own clothing to the charity 100 Suits for 100 Men. Other players and some NFL teams donated large amounts of money to charities as well. The kneeling is just one aspect to their protests.

The kneeling itself is symbolic, and humans know the power of symbols. That’s why you get a sensation of pride when you see your country’s flag, or sensation of anger. That’s why the swastika is generally hated across the world. In reality the swastika itself represents nothing. It is an image of a shape that is represented on a flag or paper. It’s what it symbolizes that incites the emotional response we are all familiar with.

The kneeling symbolically respected those who suffer racial inequality, and symbolically resisted police brutality. Why that simple action of kneeling brings some people to fits of rage is beyond me.

What is truly sad about this whole affair is that the NFL players failed to raise the awareness for the average American.

Conversations about honoring or dishonoring veterans, or if kneeling is the most appropriate form of protest, shows the attempt to raise awareness of these issues have failed. To Kaepernick and the NFL players taking part in the protest, it was never about how much could you donate to charity, or whether the flag is represented by the actions of the American people, but to focus on the issues of injustice and oppression that are faced by millions of Americans each day, simply because of their ethnicity or background. In this, they failed to make this an issue the average American cares about.

I would not be surprised to see coverage of protesting players decline, and even see players no longer protesting at all. While individuals like Kaepernick will continue their crusade, I think the appeal for other players has burned out. Most of America are tired of politics and anything related to it, especially as something as disillusioned this has become. With the way American’s and media outlets have warped the message these NFL players are trying to send, I would not be shocked at all to see this effort for social justice, by the NFL, to fade away.

Vulcans drop 2018 opener at Ohio Dominican Matthew Kifer, Sports Information Director

Facing a nationally-ranked opponent on the road, the Vulcans suffered a 28-23 loss to defending-Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) Champion and No. 23 Ohio Dominican on Thursday night at Panther Stadium.

With the loss, the California University of Pennsylvania football team drops its seasonopener for the first time since the 2011 campaign.

Meanwhile, Ohio Dominican starts the year with a victory and extends its winning streak to eight games dating back to last season. The Vulcans and Panthers have split their meetings over the last two years with the contests being decided by a combined seven points, plus each game was decided in the final minute.

Freshman quarterback Noah Mitchell (Euclid, Ohio/Euclid) finished with 329 passing yards on 32-of-51 attempts with three touchdowns and three interceptions, including two off deflections.

The Ohio native completed passes to nine different players while becoming the first Cal U freshman to start a season-opener since 2004.

Mitchell became only the second quarterback since 2012 to attempt at least 50 passes and also complete at least 30 passes in a game.

Redshirt junior wide receiver Jordan Dandridge (Duluth, Ga./Duluth) set a career high with 120 yards and one touchdown on nine catches. He has now posted a touchdown in each of his last four games, as he sustained a season-ending injury in Week 3 last year. Fellow junior wide receiver Chad Livingston (Lemont Furnace, Pa./Laurel Highlands) finished with 55 yards and seven receptions with one touchdown on Thursday, while Tyson Hill (New Kensington, Pa./ Valley) posted five catches for 52 yards.

The Vulcans scored a touchdown on the opening drive of the game, as Mitchell found senior wide receiver Craig Thompson (New Brighton, Pa./ New Brighton) for a six-yard score with 8:28 left in the first quarter. Ohio Dominican countered with a 30-yard touchdown pass just over a minute later to tie the score. Cal U then took a 10-7 lead on a 28-yard field goal by sophomore Brian Alsobrooks (Livonia, Mich./Churchill) with 1:00 remaining in the quarter.

In the second quarter, Cal U stretched the lead to 17-7 on a 19-yard touchdown reception by Dandrdige with 10:12 left before halftime. The

Panthers quickly cut the deficit to 17-14 behind a 59-yard touchdown pass at the 8:50-mark in the quarter. The Vulcans looked to respond by advancing the ball near the red zone before Mitchell was intercepted at the Ohio Dominican 25-yard line. Cal U took a 17-14 lead into the break after maintaining possession for over 24 minutes in the first half.

The Panthers took their initial lead of the game at 21-17 on the opening drive of the third quarter, capping a 10-play drive with a two-yard touchdown run. Ohio Dominican maintained the lead throughout the quarter, as the teams traded field position with punts and an interception by Mitchell.

Ohio Dominican added to its lead at the 10:58mark in the fourth quarter on a 50-yard touchdown reception, 28-17. The Vulcans responded with a drive that featured back-to-back lengthy passes to Thompson (28 yards) and Dandridge (41 yards) before Mitchell found Livingston for a 1-yard touchdown with 9:08 left to play. Cal U was unsuccessful on the two-point attempt, as the score moved to 28-23.

The Panthers were held to three-and-outs on

consecutive drives before the Vulcans threatened with a drive inside the red zone in the final minute.

Cal U started the drive at its 28-yard line with 4:37 remaining before later picking up a fourth-andfour near midfield. The Vulcans then advanced the ball to the 15-yard line of the Panthers before four-straight incompletions forced a turnover on downs and sealed the contest.

Redshirt freshman defensive back Darrell Jackson (Youngstown, Ohio/Cardinal Mooney) led the team with 10 tackles (nine solo), while junior transfer London Cloud (Bedford, Ohio/ Bedford) registered eight stops (six solo) and 3.5 TFL. The defense limited Ohio Dominican to only 38 rushing yards on 27 attempts.

The Vulcans return to action on Sept. 8 when they travel to face Kutztown in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Crossover play with kickoff at 12 p.m.

What You Need to Know About CUTV HSF

By Doug Glattke, Contributer GLA3478@calu.edu

California University Television (CUTV) has recently started their high school football coverage. Every Friday, a group of students on campus travels to a high school football game and streams the game live to YouTube pending 4G availability, then will air them on tape delay throughout the week.

This is a good opportunity for students in CUTV to enhance their skills, and take what they learn in the classroom to the field. The 2018 season kicked off in the back yard of California University of Pennsylvania, as Brownsville High School took on Bentworth.

The game was dominated by Bentworth sophomore, Trent Cavanaugh, who rushed for 193 yards and finished the game with three total touchdowns. The contest ended in a 34-14 victory for the Bentworth Bearcats, giving them their first win of the season.

The coverage will continue when CUTV covers their first ever District 3 matchup between Millersburg High School and Upper Dauphin on September 7. The game will feature sophomore WR/QB, Caden Feaster Photo: Jeff Helsel

of Millersburg, who is currently averaging 212.5 total yards per game. Feaster is tabbed as the star player for the Indians, althought Millersburg is coming into the weekend with an 0-2 record.

Upper Dauphin is looking to bounce back after suffering a 41-28 loss at the hands of a familiar TriValley conference foe, Halifax. The Indians are joining a list of high schools across the nation in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in Touchdowns Against Cancer 2018. The public can pledge an amount of money for each touchdown that Millersburg scores from Sept. 7-30 to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The Friday night matchups continue with Charleroi vs. Frazier, California vs. Washington and Belle Vernon vs. Greensburg-Salem. Charleroi is led by senior, Geno Pellegrini, who accounted for seven touchdowns in their last contest against a stunned opponent, Washington. California High School is currently 0-2 after graduating ten seniors who helped lead them to a 12-1 record last season.

Belle Vernon Area is looking to build off of an undefeated regular season in 2017 that was halted by

a first-round playoff loss to Thomas Jefferson.

CUTV’s October coverage kicks off with Elizabeth Forward vs. North Catholic, Carmichaels vs. Union and Ringgold vs. West Mifflin.

Carmichaels finished last season with an 8-4 record and are looking to transition that momentum into this season. Ringgold is led by legendary football coach Mike Zmijanic who is best known for his long tenure at Aliquippa where he led the Quips to numerous WPIAL and PIAA state championships. Zmijanic replaces Nick Milchovich at Ringgold and looks to improve upon the team’s 3-6 record in 2017.

The seasons coverage will close out on October 26 when Beth-Center takes on Frazier. Beth-Center is led

by Dominic Fundy and Bailey Lincoski who each lead their team in passing and rushing yards with 314 and 211 respectively.

These broadcasts will be followed up with CUTV’s award winning high school roundup program which will feature coverage from CUTV’s game of the week as well as highlights and analysis of the standings of the schools from the eight conferences in the CUTV viewing area.

Volleyball Salvages Win in Kentucky

By Steve Ruffing, Staff Writer RUF1410@calu.edu

This past weekend, the Vulcans traveled to Kentucky for the Bellarmine Kickoff Classic for the second volleyball tournament of the year. The Vulcans played four matches but only managed to grab a victory in one of those matches.

The first of two matches for the day on Friday, the Vulcans faced West Virginia Wesleyan. The match ended up going all five sets with the Vulcans securing the victory in a fifth set nail-bitter. In that game, junior Rachel Priore showed her veteran capability when she posted 22 kills and 15 digs. Freshman Sarah Moehring had a breakout performance when she put up 12 kills and 11 digs. Sophomore Madeleine McKenna also got in on the action recording a career high 11 kills. None of this would have been possible without freshman setter Sarah Benson putting up a season high 46 assists.

The second match this past weekend didn’t end so kindly for the Vulcans. California fell 3-1 to Davenport

(MI). Tina Bellhy and Priore lead the Vulcans offense in the tough loss. Bellhy recorded seven kills and Priore recorded six. Benson posted another impressive number when she registered 28 assists for the Vulcans and even helping defensively with five digs.

On the second day of the tournament, California lost both games. The first game California faced West Alabama and got swept 3-0. Although the Vulcans lost, Priore continued her hot streak with 11 kills making it her fourth match with double-digits in kills. Benson only posted 19 assists for the Vulcan’s offense.

California’s last match in the tournament also ended in a 3-0 sweep when they faced the hosts, Bellarmine (KY). Priore and Moerhing both tallied six kills and Bellhy put up five. The Vulcans kept the first and third set close, but it wasn’t enough. The first set ended 25-22 and the third set ended 26-24. Sarah Benson finished the tournament strong with 21 assists for the Vulcans.

Although the Vulcans lost three of their four matches in the tournament, there were still some positives to take away. Junior hitter Rachel Priore was named to the all-tournament team with her impressive hitting capabilities. Another player that stood out was freshman Sarah Benson. In her first season with the Vulcans, she is already putting up veteran numbers in the most important position on the court as the setter when she tallied 46 assists against West Virginia Wesleyan.

The Vulcans continue their season on Sept. 7 as they host the Vulcan Invitational. The Vulcans face Notre Dame (OH) & Southern New Hampshire on Friday and West Virginia Wesleyan & Nebraska-Kearney on Saturday.

Rough Start for West Ham United in EPL

By Steve Ruffing, Staff Writer RUF1410@calu.edu

West Ham United was in good spirits coming into the 2018/2019 season. A new manager was hired as well as multiple new players. Fast forward to Matchday 4, West Ham have yet to earn a single point.

Last season, the Hammers finished thirteenth in the league. This was not their best finish nor was it their worst, but one thing was for certain, they needed a change. After the firing of Slavin Bilic in the middle of last campaign, David Moyes was brought in to prevent West Ham from relegation.

He did his job, but it was still a question if he would stay or not.

Even though Moyes lead West Ham out of relegation, the time was up on his contract and he decided to step away in May. Shortly after, Manuel Pellegrini was the new man for the job. Pellegrini is a manager who won the premier league when he coached Manchester City in 2014. On paper, Pellegrini was the perfect fit for the job.

On July 1st the summer transfer window opened, and Pellegrini was finally able to do some work for the Hammers. New players immediately flooded in. Veteran midfielder Jack Wilshere came on a free transfer from Arsenal, Felipe Anderson, the most expensive player purchased, was bought from Lazio for 35 million Pounds, Andriy Yarmolenko was bought from Borussia Dortmund, and Issa Diop was bought from Toulouse. These were the biggest signings for the Hammers and six other players were also signed. Things were looking bright for West Ham. Fast forward to today, West Ham solely sit at dead last with zero points after four matches played.

After a successful summer for the Hammers, no one was expecting this disappointing of a start after four weeks. The first match of the season tested West Ham when they faced Liverpool. The Irons fell 4-0 to the Reds who have potential to win the league. The following week West Ham were up against Bournemouth, a winnable game for West Ham. After 90 minutes, West Ham fell 2-1 to a struggling Bournemouth side. Next was a 3-1 loss to Arsenal.

The toughest and most questionable loss came

Photo: PremierLeague.com

on the fourth week when West Ham tragically fell to newly promoted Wolverhampton 1-0. The game was heading for a draw until Wolves winger Adama Traore scored in the 90th minute and stunned the Premier League. Losing the first four matches marked the teams worst start to a season in club history.

Pellegrini is happy with the way his team is playing but the results don’t show. When Pellegrini was hired, West Ham had the potential to finish at a reasonable spot in the Premier League but now it’s a different story. Fans are already calling for Pellegrini to be fired and replaced. Every manager has critics but there is currently an angry mob of West Ham fans that want the manager replaced.

It’s not only the fans that are calling for Pellegrini to be fired, former Millwall forward Tony Cascarino feels the same way. Cascarino believes that after four straight losses Pellegrini should be fired. The former striker said in a column he wrote for The Times that “Given the way they are getting beaten,

I cannot see a way out for this team.”

Whether or not Pellegrini is fired, West Ham has 34 more weeks to get back on track and avoid relegation. The Hammers face Everton on Sunday which could be a critical match for the future of the team and for Manuel Pellegrini.
