Faculty, coaches fire back as possibility of strike continues

By April Pfrogner, Contributor Many faculty members and coaches are fed up as contract negotiations with the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education are at a stalemate. After working with no contract for more than 440 days, a strike seems imminent.

These negotiations affect not only California University of Pennsylvania faculty and students, but also the 13 other public universities in Pennsylvania. A strike will affect approximately 107,000 students and 5,500 faculty statewide.

“Yes, I will strike,” says Barbara Hess, president of the Cal U chapter of APSCUF, mathematics and computer science professor. “I don’t want to but when the State System has settled with all other unions and not mine I feel disrespected. If it were not for faculty, there would be no universities.”

Among the major sticking points, APSCUF union leaders say they object to proposals such as increasing the temporary faculty in lieu of permanent faculty, having students with few graduate credits teach courses, cutting funding for faculty research and professional development, forcing on campus student into distance education sections, university presidents unilateral authority to transfer faculty members to other departments, and lastly, cutting the wages of the lowest paid faculty members’ salaries by 20 percent.

“The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education did not meet with faculty for four months and it waited nearly a year before proposing 249 contractual changes,” said Dr. Lisa Kovalchick, professor, Mathematics and Computer Science and APSCUF delegate.

“It has never offered faculty what other statewide unions have received from the Commonwealth.

However we continue to negotiate. We do not want to strike, but we will, if we must. I am a Cal U APSCUF delegate and I will strike,” she said.

Meanwhile, as the threat of a strike looms, Cal U issued the following statement.

“California University is hopeful that the faculty union and Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education can reach a settlement and avert a strike.

The education of Cal U students is the University’s top priority. Even if the faculty union decides to strike, Cal U will remain open.

Even if a strike should occur, not all faculty members will walk off the job. Students should plan to attend their scheduled classes each and every day. (If a

APSCUF sets strike date of October 19 if no agreement reached

professor does not arrive to teach the class, students will be asked to sign in to register their attendance.)

University housing and dining facilities will stay open, and the student center, the Herron recreation center and other campus locations will continue to provide services for students.

If a strike does occur, students will be kept informed.

The University website will be your best source of accurate, up-to-date information.”

Professor Hess adds, “While management may say for you to report for class, why will you go? The person in the classroom doesn’t have the skills to teach the class. ” Dr. Arcides Gonzales, chairperson of the Modern Languages and Cultures department, says he voted to and will strike.

“I will be in solidarity with the other 13 universities in the system,” Gonzales said. “We voted unanimously to strike if we don’t get a decent contract and to provide students with a quality education. There can be considerable effects from a strike. Students lose out on their education. Some students may want to leave Cal U.” “The university may have to reimburse students for those days/weeks that they are not getting an education,” Gonzales said. “Faculty cannot teach, which is something the majority of faculty like to do. They also do not get paid while on strike, which can have

detrimental consequences for them. Good faculty at Cal might also decide to leave.”

According to the APSCUF’S website, the 14 public universities involved in these negotiations contribute billions of dollars to the economy. For every one dollar invested in State System universities, six dollars are returned in economic impact.

With about 107,000 students, the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education is the largest provider of higher education in the Commonwealth. A prolonged strike would be a huge hit at the state’s economy.

Of those 82 percent of APSCUF faculty members who voted to authorize a strike, 93 percent were in favor of hitting the picket line.

On Sept. 21 the PA System of Higher Education released a statement.

“The State System has just concluded five days of marathon negotiating that we requested with the union (APSCUF) representing faculty at your university.

On the last day of those meetings, APSCUF informed us that it may initiate a strike no later than October 30th. Clearly, such an action could have a significant impact on you and your classmates.”

How a strike will affect the students’ semester is not clear. Kindl, university spokesperson, stated, “The duration of a strike, should one occur, would determine how classes would be handled. It’s too soon to discuss specifics.”

A Look at the state of women in science at Cal U and beyond

By Christopher Chamberlain, Contributor When asked to think of some of the greatest scientific minds, who are the first people that come to thought? For most, Albert Einstein, Issac Newton, Thomas Edison, and Stephen Hawking top the list.

Now if asked to name the greatest female scientific minds, would you be able to name any?

Over the past millennium, women have been an underappreciated minority in the scientific fields.

People like Marie Curie, Maria Goeppert-Mayer, and Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin, all of which are Nobel Prize winners, are moved to the wayside compared to their male counterparts of the time.

However, over the past few years, the population of young women joining the scientific field has significantly increased.

Deanna Defrank is a junior at California University of Pennsylvania who has had the opportunity to work in industry twice over her academic career. She has stated that the prominence of female scientists in the field varies depending on the line of work you choose to go into.

“Women have made great gains in many of the science fields, but women are still underrepresented...” Dr. Kimberly Woznack, professor, department of Chemistry and Physics

at Cal U who is also currently vice president of the chemistry club. Over her college career, she has had the opportunity to work with many peers from different departments, and has stated that she has never felt out of place in any of them.

“In my classes and labs, we all end up pulling our own weight and we all help each other with things we don’t understand,” Quickel stated. “I have

noticed that instead of women in science at Cal being ostracized for using our brains, a lot “My current internship at SKC Inc, the ratio of of people have turned to us for help because women to men is 3 to 1,” Defrank said. “It is a very we seem to know what we are doing.” progressive environment to work for, and the glass ceiling is no longer present there.”

Defrank says that in her academic experience, there has been no stratification whatsoever. There are, however, still jobs out there though that are heavily populated by the male workforce. She chalked this up to an unsettling work environment, stating “Women are not attracted to these types of environments, and men are paid higher due to the unappealing tasks that they must perform.”

Overall, she said that her experiences in industry have been positive.

“At both my previous internship and current one, my gender was not held against me when it came to leadership positions and training,” Defrank said.

Rebekah Quickel is an honors chemistry major

She said that she feels like “my female classmate and I are all held to the same standard as our male classmates, and that is just how it should be.”

Dr. Kimberly Woznack, inorganic chemistry professor at Cal U, and active member of the Women Chemists Committee, voiced her opinion on the topic from a wider range of view.

“Women have made great gains in many of the science fields, but women are still underrepresented in other science fields,” Dr. Woznack said. “For example, women are still underrepresented in computer science and engineering… At Cal U women are well represented among the faculty in most of the science departments and also in the student population within those majors.”

It seems that though we have made significant

progress in equality over the past two decades, there are still some scientific fields that are dominated by males for the time being. Cal U seems to be at the forefront for equality throughout the departments though, which is very promising as we look toward the future of the scientific field.

Dr. Woznack also said that there is a multitude of awards and scholarships out there for young women scientists. Awards, such as Eli Lilly Travel Award and Merck Research Award from the Women Chemists Committee, are given to young female scientists to help them be able to attend national events. These events are great opportunities for scientists to network with people from various industries, their peers from across the world, and also be able to present their research they have spent their career working towards.

Overall, it seems like there is a bright future for equality in the scientific fields. The state of things at Cal U seem to be progressive, with no chance of looking back.

This is a set of ethics that someday shared across the scientific world, as treating minorities in the field as second class citizens is only holding back the progress of mankind as a whole. Knowledge is invaluable, and you never know what new great idea lies behind the eyes of any of your fellow peers.

New Chick-fil-A Express opens at Cal U, sparks excitement

By Bri Hendrikson, Staff Writer

The new Chick-fil-AExpress in the Natali Student Center, across from the Cal U bookstore on level one, opens with a long line out the door.

The excitement and energy was high in preparation for the grand opening of the Chick-fil-A Express on Wednesday, Sept. 21.

The line full of hungry students started forming before the store even opened, and by 11 a.m. it flowed down the hallway with no chance of subsiding until stomachs were full.

Chick- fil-A Express has been highly anticipated since the news was announced back in June, after students showed interest in having a fast food option added to the menu.

Junior Bryan Moore has become accustomed to the food options and change that has come to the Gold Rush and Food Court since he started at Cal U three years ago.

“Everything in terms of the food court has changed a lot over the years and has been the same types of food,” Moore said. “If this [Chick-fil-A] is consistent I know it will be a good place to eat.”

“Eat Mor Chikin” In order to keep up the excitement, recent California University of Pennsylvania graduate, Hannah Wieszczyk, worked with other students as well as the Chick-fil-A Support office to devise a plan for ensuring that the opening was worth the wait.

“It has been a lot of behind-the-scenes planning, trying to get more social media traffic.” Wieszczyk said. “With the new brand we’ve been able to use that to help gain our social media engagement and get students excited.”

As a marketing technique, giveaways including

“The Chick-fil-A Express in the Natali Student Center at Cal U is open Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.”

Chick-fil-A’s signature lemonade samples and mini stuffed cows with the slogan “Eat Mor Chikin” were passed out to those waiting in line.

DeMeishia Charleston, Chick-fil-A support office representative, who has worked with California University of Pennsylvania and Wieszczyk, volunteered her time to help with the grand opening and their marketing strategies.

The Chick-Fil=A cow greets customers at the Express on opening day.

“We have some activations that we share with our partners that open up Chick-fil-A licensing locations - like the photo booth, and the mascot,” Charleston stated. “The Cal U Mascot is actually a rarity at our licensing locations, so Cal U is very blessed to have the mascot here.”

Marketing efforts were not lost seeing as students gathered to take pictures with Cal U’s very own Chick-fil-A Cow mascot and utilize the photo booth while they waited in line to order their food.

Chick-fil-A Express is now open to students as well as the general public, Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and charges meals through dine dollars, shop dollars and credit.

Cal U first year student Carly Blanks, Erie, Pa. is the first in line at the new Chick-fil-A-Express.

The company logo adorns the wall along the food line.

Albums of the

Week

by Dan Carmichael

Illuminate – Shawn Mendes The breakout young star who became famous through the popular phone application Vine, has just released his second album. At the age of 16, Shawn Mendes released “Handwritten,” an album that was not extremely popular but showed for the ability to expand as an artist. Shawn first became popular to the public by posting song covers online. Slowly, he started working on his own material and marketing it to the fan base he already acquired. As is generally opposite for most artists, Shawn Mendes’ sophomore album was no slump compared to his first. “Illuminate” is going to be a great segue for this rising musician to exit the world of “young, teen, pop star” and enter into the world of “serious singer-songwriter.”

“Illuminate” offers a very simple sound. The music is subtle, the lyrics are clean and they show for little complexity. As far as lyrical content goes, this album is very noticeably the work of a young musician. To compare Shawn to other artists who contain a similar musical style and sound, the likes of John Mayer and Jason Mraz could be used. I will not go as far as saying that I think Shawn is as talented as Mayer or Mraz, but I do think by the time he hits the age of 25, he will be boom or bust. For many, this album will be the first they hear of Shawn and his work. For others, they may not hear his music until he releases a third or even fourth album. For his die-hard fans, they will likely stick with him like they have for the last three years.

Average Critic Rating: N/A My Rating: 70/100

Shape Shift with Me – Against Me! Hailing from Florida, comes a punk rock band that was formed in 1997. Since they were created, Against Me! has released 7 studio albums, 9 demo EPs and 2 live albums. Against Me! have not released a studio album for about two years now.

Released in 2014, “Transgender Dysphoria Blues” was one of the highest rated albums they have created. With that being said, it would be hard to top it with this most recent release.

Last year the group compiled an hour and half of music in order to release their second live album. Though it was exciting for fans, they quickly grew antsy for new music.

“Shape Shift with Me” is, in my honest opinion, an average piece of work for the band. It is not easily the bands best work but it is in no way their worst. The music on the album is fairly similar to that of recent releases but it just lacks the big “single” type vibe. There were multiple tracks on their last album that could be thought of as “singles.”

This album lacks the bigger hits. In this 40-minute album, you will find some great music and lyrics. Some songs will just make you scratch your head. The best example would be “Crash.” This track is dense and lacks what many of the others have. If you are into the punk rock scene, or even the rock scene, give this album a listen. While you are at it, take a look at everything they have put out. Even if you are not the biggest fan of the genre, their music is great and will get your blood pumping.

Runner up no more: Nick Viall announced as 2017 “Bachelor”

By Jessica Crosson, Entertainment Editor The wait is finally over for the avid followers of ABC’s The Bachelor. It was announced earlier in September that Nick Viall will be the 2017 bachelor. With the third season of Bachelor in Paradise drawing to a close in September, it is clear that Nick and Jen’s relationship did not work out.

Loyal fans of both Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelorette will recognize Viall from season three of paradise and as the runner up on both Andi Dorfman’s season as well as Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season of The Bachelorette.

Although many reactions to this announcement are positive, some fans wonder why Viall was chosen over fan favorite’s from last season of The Bachelorette, Luke Pell or Robby Hayes.

After winning over the hearts of many viewers, Luke Pell was originally chosen to be this season’s

bachelor. In an interview with US Weekly, Pell stated he only found out about the last minute switch up a couple of hours before he boarded a plane to begin filming. Pell has also admitted that he has come to accept ABC’s decision and looks forward to taking control of his own destiny.

This is the second year in a row that ABC has pulled the plug on the already chosen bachelor/ bachelorette. Caila Quinn was supposed to be last season’s bachelorette but was replaced by Joelle Fletcher when Ben Higgins ultimately chose Lauren Bushnell over Fletcher at the end of his season.

All in all the main goal of the show is to find love.

Hoping that the fourth time is the charm, Viall will get his chance to hand out the roses during this season of The Bachelor. Fingers crossed that Viall finally gets his happy ending.

“Stranger Things” and its influence

By Joshua David Blattenberger, Contributor The breakout success of Stranger Things has brought on many fans for the thrill inducing ride, which sadly ended the same day it started, albeit to the discretion of the viewer and how they choose to watch the eight hours of content. But the story, regardless of how it was released, was a colorful journey that resounded with emotion, character, and a memorable cast, to the extent that one of the fan favorite characters was Barb, Nancy’s best friend, who was killed off in the third episode and had her disappearance underscored for the rest of the season (To the annoyance of many, including myself.)

The show’s premise, too, reeked of promise and nostalgia, taking inspiration from the great film directors of the 80’s. This, beyond a bit of doubt, was most notably Steven Spielberg, with the E.T.-esque scenario that three of the protagonists -Mike, Lucas, and Dustin- encountered while on their journey to rescue their beloved friend Will.

The Spielbergian influences in the show are not manifested solely on the surface with the similar wondrous atmosphere and arrival of a supernatural companion, this time in the form of a psychic girl rather than an alien. Much of the show’s direction appeared to be inspired by the improvements on techniques that Spielberg has used as his signature in filmmaking. A notable instance is the usage of a tracking shot as Mike and Eleven discussed the meaning of friendship, allowing the audience to make the inference that what they were currently

Caution: Article contains spoilers to key points throughout the first season of Stranger Things.

seeing is of some relevance to the overall plot. (As it turns out, it was a recurring theme throughout.) Stranger Things made clever usage of Spielberg’s other principles including musical cues that hinted at something leading into a coming scene and close up shots that focused the emotions of characters.

However, Stranger Things had many more inspirations tucked away within itself, seemingly overshadowed by the popular interpretation that it was Spielberg’s kid based fantasy romps alone who helped in the show’s creative process. In an interview done by The Hollywood Reporter, the Duffer Brothers discussed the inspirations that helped them craft the various points of the show. When asked to breakdown the percentages of inspiration and where they were, they mentioned how the portions of the show dedicated to the efforts of Nancy, Johnathan, and Charlie where meant to be reminiscent of John Carpenter’s Halloween, as the portions given to Joyce and her struggles to reveal the truth of her son’s disappearance were influenced by Spielberg’s work on Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Jaws.

In a show crafted by the works the directors grew up enjoying, it seems as though it may be hard to find a tinge of originality tucked within it. But in an ironic sense, the show crafted from so many inspirations brought these elements into an environment where they were able to thrive and coexist with one another, building a network of interrelated themes and tones that defined the series as a whole. As a mother pined for the return of

her beloved son in a horror based environment, a group of close friends argued the motives of the strange girl they found and how she might be interfering with their own effort to rescue their friend in a fantasy environment that, too, was driven my tension.

As a group of teenagers watched as a requited lover fought to kill the monster responsible for the disappearance of friends and family, the group of friends watched as the psychic girl sacrifice herself to save them all from a horrible death. As a mother ran from the creature in her own home, the teenagers worked together to save one of their own from the clutches of a monster within an alternate reality.

Stranger Things seems to be the love letter to 80’s filmmaking that everyone knows it to be, but it goes beyond the influences that people see on the surface level. The direction, techniques, and tones take inspiration from works throughout the time period, but add enough originality and cohesiveness to allow for these elements to coexist with one another. What is provided is comparable to a love letter containing literary clichés organized masterfully enough to create an original work that can be enjoyed independently from your working knowledge of what inspired it.

Stranger Things, in essence, is a collection of what made an industry what it is today, spread throughout an eight hour marvel that deserves as much attention as it gets. Let’s hope season 2 will be equally as impressive.

Sweet Movie Reviews with Jonathan Hershey!

The sequel to the 2010 film Alice in Wonderland, which were both based on books by Lewis Carroll, continues the story of Alice in which she returns to Underland after discovering a magical looking glass. The sequel was produced by Tim Burton but his style and vision of Alice’s world remains unchanged. The film is still a fun story that transports you to a different place. The unfortunate reality of the film is the excessive use of CGI instead of practical effects.

M-F: 11 a.m., 7 p.m., and 10 p.m.

Presidential candidates’ health shouldn’t be ignored

By Cameron King, Staff Writer

There is no doubt that the current health state of both presidential candidates has become a hot-button electability issue at this late stage in the race, and the general consensus of this issue has emerged due to concerns regarding recent health-related episodes displayed by Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton.

However, these episodes are nothing new. In fact, Clinton herself has exhibited a broad series of public health issues over the last decade – starting as early as 2005.

The earliest sign of concern began with the then-New York senator speaking at an up-state luncheon in Buffalo, NY before suddenly fainting before her crowd. Upon further examination, doctors had immediately concluded she had contracted an acute gastrointestinal illness.

In December 2012, Clinton was in the news for fainting once again, this time suffering from a moderate concussion. The Secretary herself was scheduled for a testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the deadly attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya days after this episode, but expediently being recessed from the event due to her injury. Later that month, she was hospitalized, where doctors soon discovered a blood clot on top of her already active state of concussion.

In released footage, the Democrat almost appears to be entirely unconscious as Secret Service and staffers seemingly carry her to her campaign vehicle......

Most recently, on September 11th, Clinton had reportedly fainted while at the 9/11 memorial site in New York City. In released footage, the Democrat almost appears to be entirely unconscious as Secret Service and staffers seemingly carry her to her campaign vehicle in a fashion that’s reminiscent of a scene from “Weekend at Bernie’s”. Her physical state in the public eye had hit at an all-time low.

Her campaign immediately released a statement regarding her condition afterward, outlining that she had simply “overheated” in New York, but was additionally diagnosed with a case of“non-contagious bacterial pneumonia” a day before this event.

This release retrieved massive backlash from the medical community. Kansas diagnostic radiologist Dr. Milton Wolf even spoke out about the case, outlining that nearly all bacterial infections are highly contagious,

How truly significant is the health of our presidential candidates? including pneumonia, while begging the simple question, “If there is really such a thing as ‘noncontagious bacterial pneumonia’, how would Clinton have caught it in the first place?”

The doctor has also placed emphasis on there being no existent ECD-10 medical code outlining such a disease.

Aside from all of this, nevertheless, the Clinton campaign released a brief, but detailed medical report covering her recent vaccinations, procedures, and current medications she is prescribed to take. Clinton’s personal doctor has also urged that she is “healthy” and “fit to serve” as president, despite her public, medical mishaps.

Republican nominee Donald Trump, more so, has drawn no public health concerns currently. Due to impartiality, however, Trump had appeared on the Dr. Oz show on September 14th to also share a brief medical report, outlining a recent physical, citing that his only major health issue is that he is medically classified as overweight – which Trump himself has blamed on a high fast food intake over the course of his life.

Trump has publicly prided himself with a lifestyle free of alcohol following the loss of this brother, Fred Trump Jr., to alcoholism. He has also outlined that he has lived both tobacco and drug free, even trying his best to stay away from coffee throughout his life, perhaps due to its high caffeine content.

In December, the business mogul’s personal doctor, Jacob Bornstein, M.D., had received fierce backlash following a letter released after their last appointment, claiming that Trump would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”, stressing “extraordinary” stamina and physical strength, also highlighting that his only documented medical procedure performed was an appendectomy when he was ten years old.

Trump’s medical records also outlined his most recent vaccinations, procedures, and medications.

When reviewed, they only seemed to ring a truly positive result for a man his age. Dr. Oz had even stated in an interview with TODAY that all of the materials presented were to his expectations of someone seeking the presidential office, and were specifically impressive compared the consistent news breaks of Clinton’s recurring health issues.

With all of this information though, one must beg the question – how truly significant is

the health of our presidential candidates?

It matters. The medical health of any person running for the highest office in the land is just as noteworthy as their financial health. If one looks at a candidate’s financial history and notices frivolous spending, hypocrisy in terms of tax management, or any other fiscal attribute that may run in contrast with their message, it displays one simple notion: what ability do they have to operate the position they are running for?

Health falls into a similar bracket. What physical, mental, and emotional states do these individuals possess and could they possibly run the most powerful nation in the world with said conditions?

“If there is really such a thing as ‘noncontagious bacterial pneumonia’, how would Clinton have caught it in the first place?”

The citizens of this country deserve to receive truthful feedback on a candidate’s health concerns. However, it must be recognized that no candidate should be immediately required to disclose such information if they do not feel comfortable with it, nor feel it is necessary.

If a candidate’s support may suffer due to a lack of transparency with such information, though, perhaps it may further incentivize them to be more unambiguous with their constituencies.

Bringing the health of these high-staked candidates into the public eye is unequivocally nothing out of the ordinary, as well. In 2008, John McCain’s late-age in running for president, at seventy-one, baited him into similar health concerns. An arguably incorrect analysis on McCain’s health was observed

by NBC News, claiming that there was a “one in four chance” that the 2008 Republican nominee would “not survive a second term” as president.

Though the McCain campaign had released some of the most detailed medical documents ever publicly revealed, the rumor had already set in stone. Some still argue today that the 2008 election may have changed its course if the health concerns of the Arizona senator hadn’t achieved such prominence in the mainstream.

In assurance that rumors do not simply run wild, it is gravely important that our media covers these stories closely and accurately, and provide a concise understanding of what strength and energy our next commander-in-chief will have.

The voters, in return, must decide who will best lead us forward.

Emmy Awards highlighted diversity in America

By Angel Funk, Staff Writer We’ve all seen the headlines about the lack of diversity in this year’s Oscars. End of February’s headlines read about the robbing of nominations with big names speaking up like Mark Ruffalo, Reese Witherspoon, Whoopi Goldberg, and George Clooney. It caused director Spike Lee, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, and actor Will Smith to not attend in light of the nominations that seemed only to highlight white directors, writers, and actors.

The whitewashing isn’t a new problem in the context of the film and has been present since people of color have been allowed to act in Hollywood. It even goes as far as the lack of women winning in unisex categories to excluding the LGBT+ community. However, at the 68th Primetime Emmy,

there was a refreshing display of diversity.

This year Emmy’s have been described by publications and viewers everywhere as a triumph in this aspect, showcasing a multitude of talent.

Perhaps one of the most memorable moments of the night was Rami Malek taking home an Emmy for his role in Mr. Robot.

Malek’s comedic side came out whenever he accepted his award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, in disbelief. According to E! News, Rami is the first person of a minority to win this award in 18 years. In his speech “I’m honored to stand here and represent my family,” speaking about his Egyptian heritage.

Another diverse win included comedy writing for

the show “Master of None,” received by co-creators Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang, that focused on cultural disconnect and immigration stories.

After this year’s Oscars, it’s safe to say that the Emmy’s stepped up to plate to put a big dent in the whitewashing in America’s film industry. Not only did the Emmy’s have more winners involving people of color, women, and the LGBT+ community but with more nominations.

With such a massive display of recognition for the works by people of all genders, races, and cultures we as a society have become better off for it. The only hope now is that the Oscar’s will follow suite.

Family Day 2016: Fun, Talent, and Football

By Monica Flickinger, Staff Writer

For more than five years, the California University of Pennsylvania has hosted a day for families to visit their student on campus and participate in an array of fun activities.

This year, rain could not ward off the enjoyment of students spending quality time with their families, especially for some students who are away from home for the first time. Saturday’s Family Day events were scheduled to take place outside but due to the weather the events were moved inside. Registration began at ten at the Natali Student Center information desk where free Family Day shirts were given out.

The University Choir performance that was originally planned to take place in front of the convocation center, along with the presentation of the Jennie Carter award, was moved to the Morgan Hall auditorium. This performance began at ten and ended in time for the presentation of the Jennie Carter award, received by Alan James. James was a former administrator at the Cal U. The student center was abuzz with families talking excitedly. There were many activities planned for the day, one of which was referred to as the family fun zone taking place between 11 a.m and 2 pm. Last year, the family fun zone was located outside of Natali on Third Street, however this year the rain location was inside of Natali by the food court.

There was a buzz in the air as everyone walked from table to table interacting with families, staff, and students.

For children 12 and under there were a variety of animals to stuff, including small t-shirts with “CAL” written across them for their new furry friends.

The Health Center was offering blood pressure checks along with pamphlets on how to positively handle stress.

Voter registration forms were available at another table while bracelet engraving, face painting, and seat cushion printing were popular among those in attendance.

There were more than just activities; Alex’s Lemonade and Rita’s were being sold. The New Life organization had snacks available, and the Anthropology club also had donuts and coffee.

Later in the day, a family field day was held for the 11th year hosted by The Wildlife Society’s student chapter with activities centered around wildlife.

Then, a home football game against Millersville University took place at Adamson Stadium. The Vulcans won the game with an impressive score of 61-0. Before the game a kids zone with inflatables as well as an alumni tent was set up outside of the stadium.

Later in the evening, the president’s showcase was held in the evening with proceeds supporting scholarships.

Fireworks were to be held after the showcase, but ultimately they were canceled due to the weather.

The weather did not stop students and their families from enjoying their time together, which is what Family Day is all about. It was another successful year of events enjoyed by everyone that attended.

Rapinoe follows in Kaepernick’s protest

By Rachael McKriger, Editor in Chief

When Megan Rapinoe kneeled during the national anthem during the United States Women’s National Team friendly matches against Thailand and the Netherlands, it caused an uproar.

Obviously, Rapinoe is not the only athlete to kneel during the national anthem. Colin Kaepernick started to kneel during the preseason, and he was soon followed by some of his teammates and players around the NFL. Players have even raised their fists and salute with Kaepernick and in salute to end injustice.

However, Rapinoe’s kneeling became especially prominent, as she was kneeling during a U.S. Soccer game. Sure, she did it for her club, the Seattle Reign, but this time she was doing it while representing the U.S. Soccer Federation.

U.S. Soccer did initially release a statement, saying that they would discipline Rapinoe for her actions, but pulled it back after the USWNT’s second friendly against the Netherlands.

“Obviously there were boos tonight, boos and cheers tonight. I totally respect that,” Rapinoe said.

“People feel a certain way, and I want to be respected for the way that I feel. I think that’s their right to do that. I totally understand that. That said, there’s some people that support me.”

“I haven’t talked to U.S. Soccer outside of these guys, and they’re the ones here with me so I expect that would be who I would talk to,” Rapinoe said.

“But yeah, I want to keep everybody in the loop.

“Your choices, your stance, and your prerogative. That’s what it ultimately comes down to.”

It’s sort of an ongoing thought process. What’s the best way to handle everything and, for me, what’s the best way moving forward? And then, obviously, it affects everyone, so I want to appreciate and make sure I’m keeping everyone in the loop and hearing their opinions and giving mine as well.”

Rapinoe even noted that she kneels for the anthem due to the recent injustices that have been happening in the United States. She said that kneels because she wants to keep the conversation going.

This certainly is a big topic, since she’s kneeling while wearing the U.S. Soccer crest on her jersey.

However, I stand, or kneel, with Rapinoe because she is using her right to her freedom of speech.

She’s standing up, or kneeling, for what she believes in. U.S. Soccer was right to revoke the statement about punishing Rapinoe, because what kind of freedom of speech would that be if you punish a player for standing up for their beliefs.

Another note to be made about the issue is that it’s not Rapinoe that’s asking for the attention. It’s not Kaepernick, or Eric Reid, or the Miami Dolphins team, or anyone else who wants to kneel for that anthem that are asking for all the camera to be on them during the anthem. It’s the media itself that is spotlighting this- and they’re doing it in both a negative and positive approach.

In a way, maybe that’s what these athletes are hoping for, due to the fact that they want to keep the conversation going. However, I firmly believe that all of the athletes kneeling for the anthem are

in no way doing so to draw attention away from their teams. It’s just a personal choice. We all have them. If you personally choose to be offended by this issue, then that’s you’re prerogative. If you choose to brush this issue off and not give a second look toward the issue, then that’s OK too.

There’s really no right or wrong answer in this, and I don’t think people are seeing that. It’s all about personal choice in this scenario. If these players- or even regular people- want to kneel for the anthem, then that’s their right. That right cannot be taken away from them.

It’s a personal choice. That’s truly what it all comes down to. I know for me, I personally choose to kneel with Kaepernick, Rapinoe and anyone else who chooses to do so. If you don’t like that, then that’s what you don’t like. And that’s OK. I’m not telling you to like it or to join me.

Your choices, your stance, and your prerogative.

That’s what it ultimately comes down to.

Vulcan offense firing on all cylinders

By Jeremy Hall, Staff Writer In the first two games to start the season, the Vulcans have scored a combined 140 points. First year Head Coach Gary Dunn, a former offensive coordinator at Duquesne, has this team playing at an extremely high level.

Coach Dunn kindly offered me some of his time for an interview regarding his team’s success. I asked him the simple question. How were you able to put up so many points in just two games? “Preparation by the players and the coaches,” Dunn said. “The guys have done a great job of executing the game plan. But it’s definitely going to get harder starting this week.” What’s very interesting about the Vulcans offense is that they use multiple running backs. They have three backs that each have double-digit carries and over 100 yards on the ground through the first two games. I asked Coach if this was part of his plan coming back to his alma mater or if the talent here is just abundant. “It’s our situation at tailback,” Dunn responded. “It’s our deepest position on the team.

We feel like we have 4 or 5 guys at that position that can play. So we are trying to keep everyone fresh and it just happened to work out that way the first 2 weeks. We feel great about our depth at tailback.”

Having talent at multiple positions, mainly running back, has been a great asset for this team so far.

With Dunn’s experience as an offensive coordinator, I was curious to see if he calls the plays for his team on Saturdays. We have all seen many coaches on different levels who do things of this nature, but Dunn trusts his staff. “Coach Salisbury calls the plays.

He and I collaborate all week and game plan. But he’s done a tremendous job so far” said Coach Dunn when I posed the question. But with the schedule only getting harder for this team, I asked Coach if preparation changes as compared to the previous two weeks. “It doesn’t. We try to focus on ourselves,” Dunn replied. “We respect every opponent. But we try to put our effort into making California the best California that it can be.”

One thing I can tell you, is that Dunn is about preparation. It was the word most used during our interview, and you can tell he believes in his players and his game plan.

One thing you may not know about Coach Dunn is that not only does he have his bachelor’s degree from Cal U, but has also earned his master’s degree.

So how important it is for Coach Dunn to see his

Gary Dunn and the Vulcans have racked up 199 points in three games and are looking to continue their dominance in the upcoming game against #9 Slippery Rock. players get out of Cal U with their degrees? “It’s the number one thing we do is talk to these guys about earning their degree to give them options when they get out of school,” Dunn said. “I tell our guys that I wouldn’t be sitting in the chair I am without my two degrees. No matter what you do in life, you want to give yourself options and a degree is going to help you do that.”

The 2016 Vulcans look poised with talent and have been off to fast start. It’s hard to argue that just looking at the statistics. But besides the talent on this team, they seem to really have a coach that believes in them. Coach Dunn seems to care about his players and the University as a whole.

Talent alone doesn’t win football games. It takes leadership and discipline. And this football team is certainly striving for success each day.

Vulcans football takes on Slippery Rock

By Danny Beeck, Sports Editor The California University of Pennsylvania Vulcans Football team is coming into this week’s game against Slippery Rock with a new title, as AFCA has tabbed them No. 24 in the country.

The Vulcans are fresh off of a 59-17 victory against a strong passing game in Seton Hill, this past Saturday. The Vulcans have outscored their opponents 199-20 thus far, however, this week’s game against the Rock will be a great gauge as to what this team could achieve later in the season.

California also had two offensive players in the PSAC’s spotlight, as Michael Keir achieved the West Offensive Athlete of the Week, and Garry Brown was tabbed the West Special Teams Athlete of the Week.

Kier also became the fourth quarterback in school history to throw six touchdowns in a game, while completing passes to seven different receivers.

The next two weeks will be the best test for California, as they have to face off against IUP the week after Slippery Rock. The Rock is a team that likes to run a balanced offense, leaning towards a passing game that has racked up 10 touchdowns with 1127 total passing yards. Slippery Rock is coming off of a 34-13 win over a Gannon team at home. They came out of the gates hot, scoring 17 points in the first quarter of play. In the first quarter of this week’s game, look for both sides to put up points, as aforementioned before.

California will have to take advantage of Slippery Rock’s defense, utilizing both the extensive list of running backs, and their talented receiving core. On the defensive side of the ball for the Vulcans, this is their first big test for the season. Last week, their first test was a Seton Hill passing team that put up 384 yards, still resulting in a loss though. Michael Kier is coming into Adamson Stadium throwing 13 touchdowns, six of which, to Garry Brown. Getting all of his targets involved is something Kier likes to do as well, completing passes to seven different players, along with throwing six touchdowns this past week. He also became the fourth quarterback in school history to achieve that feat.

The game between the Vulcans and Slippery Rock is slated for 1 p.m. at Adamson stadium.

PSAC Showdown: Bloomsburg Brusier

By Jonathan Hershey, Staff Writer

On Saturday, Sept. 24, the men’s soccer team took on PSAC opponent Bloomsburg. After a total of 10 cards, 8 yellow and 2 red, the Vulcans were the victors. The 2-1 score does not show the physicality throughout the entirety of the match. Anthony Papageorgiou, who had the game winning goal, stated that “If you kept the ball for more than five or six seconds you were getting hit no matter what so it was definitely a physical game.”

The first half, Bloomsburg had thorough offensive movement but California’s defense stood sturdy. The Huskies 5 corner kicks created numerous dangerous opportunities but the defense allowed no goals with the help of Lucas Exner who continually awes the crowd with fantastic saves.

Exner has a strong appreciation for his fellow teammates as he said “They help me a lot, without them we wouldn’t have this record.”

At 17:33 into the match, sophomore Christian Fletcher, who is returning from an MCL sprain, shot a rocket that ricocheted from the crossbar down to the goal line and back into play. Later in the half, in the 36th minute, Fletcher was able to put the Vulcans on the scoreboard.

The physicality throughout the game was apparent and Fletcher commented “We just have to build off this win

and keep going the rest of the season with confidence that we can play with anybody.”

Due to a lack of a referee presence various fouls such as pushing, freshman defensive back, Kyle Richards to the ground after a tackle, it was clear Bloomsburg had no remorse for unsportsmanlike conduct. Before the conclusion of the first half, another Bloomsburg player took out goalie Exner resulting in only a free kick.

In the second half Bloomsburg scored in the 66th minute to tie the game. The physicality of the match was significantly more prevalent in the succeeding half with yet another Bloomsburg player picking up freshman forward Cooper Amos and throwing him on the ground, leaving both players with red cards, towards the end of the match. Despite the tough calls, California continued playing and in the 80th minute Papageorgiou scored with the assist from Fletcher.

The goal was of high importance to the team because it not only put the Vuclans’ ahead but to Papageorgiou who stated “The kid that was marking me on the goal I’ve known since I was 9 years old so that makes it so much sweater to score on him.”

California advances to the 4th spot in the PSAC with a conference record of 2-1-1 and their overall 5-1-1. The

Huskies continue to be the omega of the PSAC pack with a conference record of 0 wins, 5 loses and a tie.

The win came after a four home game stretch with the Vulcans not returning home until the 8th of October against Millersville. The Vulcans travel to West Virginia on the 27th to take on Davis & Elkins at 7:30pm for a non-conference match.

Vulcans Women’s Soccer looks to rebound

By Rachael McKriger, Editor In Chief

The California University of Pennsylvania women’s soccer team is looking to rebound this week, as they are riding on a four-game losing streak.

The team’s last four losses were at the hands of Slippery Rock, West Chester, Edinboro, and Bloomsburg- all PSAC opponents. The team lost in shut outs in three of the four matches, only putting up a single point against Slippery Rock. That goal was scored by Selena Fushimi-Karns in the 5’ minute of the match, and was assisted by Kira Carberry.

The women’s team has only won a single game this year, with their overtime win against Mansfield back on September 3.

Since then, the team has had trouble finding the back of the net, as they have been scoreless in six matches this year. As for the other team’s finding the back of the Vulcans’ net, they have totaled nine goals against the Vulcans.

However, even with those numbers, Meghan Jayes, the goalkeeper for the Vulcans’, is a beacon of hope for the team. Jayes has been playing fairly well this

season, despite the results. With a total of 50 saves already this season, Jayes has also posted two shut outs and has a strong save percentage of .847.

The Vulcans have been lackluster in their attacking game, but someone who has stood out is FushimiKarns. The senior midfielder/forward has recorded five shots this year, owns a goal to her name, and has started all eight matches this season for the Vulcans.

Fushimi-Karns is one of only eight players to start all eight matches this year. Other players to do so are Jayes, Carberry, Daniela Dell’Aquila, Danielle Koehler, Marissa Antrilli, Danielle Kearns, and Olivia Bryan.

The Vulcans are battling through, however.

Dell’Aquila is dealing with a possibly stress fracture, Bryan has been dealing with a back injury, and Julia Darminio is suffering from a concussion. However, the team, even with only three freshman recruits on their bench, have a chance to turn things around and turn a rough beginning into a positive mid

season.

The Vulcans, with their veteran squad, will take on West Virginia Wesleyan University on Wednesday, September 28 and then will face East Stroudsburg University on Friday, September 30. The team will not return home for a match until October 8 when they host Millersville.
