CLARION UNIVERSITY’S STUDENT NEWSPAPER SINCE 1913

VOL. 98 ED. 5

Former Clarion Call editor runs for commissioner KELSEY HUEBERT News Editor

Clarion, Pa - A former staff member of The Clarion Call is running for office. Ron Wilshire, a Clarion University alumnus, will be a candidate for one of the three Clarion County Commissioner seats on the ballot Nov. 8.

Commissioners serve four-year terms simultaneously. Unlike most previous elections, none of the three incumbent commissioners, Donna Hartle, Dave Cyphert and Tim Reddinger, are running for another term.

Two Republican candidates and two Democratic candidates were nominated by voters in the primary election in May. On the Republican ticket, Butch Campbell and Wayne Brosious face off.

Greg Faller and Ron Wilshire are heading the Democrat ballot.

The three candidates with the most votes after

the Nov. 8 general election will begin their terms in office Jan. 2, 2012.

Wilshire said this election is especially impor-

tant for Clarion County.

“The county has to become more involved with economic development,” Wilshire said, “and here,

citizens have the chance to agree with that.”

Wilshire said his plan for economic growth is two-pronged.

The first, he said, would be to focus on supporting the jobs that are already in Clarion, namely at Clarion University and Clarion Hospital.

“Whatever we can do to support them is very important,” Wilshire said.

Second, he said he would focus on getting new jobs into the county.

“That’s where the marketing of Clarion County is vital,” Wilshire said.

“We have such a strong and talented workforce.”

The three commissioners, together, are the chief executive office of Clarion County.

Their duties include the county’s financial management, veteran’s

affairs, human services and property assessment.

Wilshire said he hopes to bring valuable experience to the commissioners’ office.

He held the position of assistant vice-president of university relations for Clarion University for 32 years, and served on the Clarion Borough Council for the past 24 years, 14 of those as president.

He said his best accomplishment on the borough council was his participation in the remedying of storm water overflow at Clarion’s sewage treatment center.

During his undergraduate studies at Clarion University, Wilshire spent three years as features editor at The Clarion Call, and also produced the editorial cartoons for the opinion section.

Kappa Alpha Psi brings national fraternity conference to Clarion for 25th anniversary

Rachel Farkas/ The Clarion Call

University President Karen Whitney waves to the crowds at the Autumn Leaf Festival Parade.

Clarion, Pa., - The Clarion University chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity will host the annual C. Roger Wilson Leadership Conference on Oct. 14 and 15 on campus.

The first Conference was held during the 50th anniversary of the fraternity in Bloomington, Ind., as an opportunity for undergraduate members to become acquainted with personal leadership styles through the talent resources within the national organization.

Keiterez Bynum, an undergraduate member of Clarion’s Mu Phi Chapter of Kappa Alphi Psi, set his sights on bringing the conference to Clarion this year when he was elected to the regional office of Junior Vice Pole March.

Traditionally, the conference moves year-toyear throughout various cities and campuses in Ohio, West Virginia and

Pennsylvania.

Despite the 40 year existence and 25-year-long national recognition of Clarion’s Kappa Alpha Psi Chapter, the conference has never been held at Clarion.

Bynum said that Kappa Alpha Psi, along with its motto “Achievement in Every Field of Endeavor,” has had a long and prosperous tradition of leadership throughout the nation, and locally.

Bynum said he thinks many students are not aware of the impact that African-American Greek Letter Organizations have had within our communities, states and nation.

“Too often many think of our organizations as steppers, with colors and symbols...but all of the Nine Historical Pan Hellenic Council organizations possess members of national claim, prominence and leadership,” Bynum said.

Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity celebrated its centennial anniversary on Jan. 5, 2011, in Philadelphia.

Its first presence at Clarion was in 1971, beginning with Paul Forte and nine others. Clarion’s Mu Phi Chapter was officially chartered almost 25 years ago, on Dec. 6, 1986, and is the oldest African-American organization on campus, second to the Black Student Union of Clarion University, chartered 1971.

John Lovelace, Clarion University professor and Mu Phi Chapter adviser, said, “Though attitudes have changed, there are still challenges that African-American males still face in areas of education, employment, health and our communities. We have had our challenges as a chapter, and have fought a few battles, but we continue to strive, and grow from experience.”

Debt-crippled Pa. capital files for bankruptcy Harrisburg, Pa. - Pennsylvania’s distressed capital city filed for bankruptcy Wednesday, citing “imminent jeopardy” from lawsuits related to a debt-saddled municipal incinerator and setting up a power struggle between the mayor and City Council.

The federal petition for Chapter 9 bankruptcy, being sought to help Harrisburg get out from under crushing debt, listed about $458 million in creditors and claims and six pending legal actions by creditors.

“The city does not have the ability to pay those money judgments or any significant portion thereof and still provide health and safety services to its citizens and other essential government services,” wrote Mark D. Schwartz, an attorney hired by City Council.

A spokesman for Mayor Linda Thompson, who has resisted calls for bankruptcy because of fears that it would further blacken the city’s name, said the council lacks the legal authority to seek it.

“There are procedural matters the solicitor objects to, as far as how the resolution was handled, and the quote-unquote hiring of counsel,” said mayoral spokesman Robert Philbin. “The solicitor also says only the mayor, in conjunction with the solicitor, can file for bankruptcy on behalf of the City of Harrisburg.”

The filing was signed

by Councilwoman Susan Wilson after a 4-3

vote late Tuesday by the council to authorize it.

At a news conference, Thompson said she was hiring a law firm to challenge the bankruptcy filing, which she called a “sneak attack” by council members.

“I’m ashamed of the behavior, the road jams, the road blocks, the dishonest statements that keep coming out of four council members,” Thompson said.

The legal move comes the week before the state Senate is expected to take up a bill, already passed by the House, that would authorize Gov. Tom Corbett to assume many of the city’s financial functions in response to the stalemate between Thompson and the council majority.

The bill would empower the governor to declare a state of fiscal emergency and install someone to make many of the critical decisions about government spending and government operations.

Schwartz called the pending bill “a political grab” and said he thinks it was designed to protect bond insurers.

“You got paid your premiums, OK?” he said. “So pay your losses. This was a great lucrative game.”

Municipal bankruptcies are rare, with only a few dozen filed in the United States in the past three decades, and some of those were dismissed.

Among them are Orange County, Calif., which took the action in 1994, and Vallejo, Calif., three years ago.

19 held in probe launched after Norway killings

Syrian leaders deny U.S. spying allegations

Warsaw, Poland - A Polish security agency said Wednesday that 19 people have been arrested across the country on suspicion of producing and possessing explosives.

The Internal Security Agency said the arrests were part of a wider investigation into the illegal production and sale of explosives that was launched after Norway asked Poland to investigate people with links to mass killer Anders Behring Breivik, who has confessed to two attacks that killed 77 people in July in Norway.

The agency said the arrests were also the result of an analysis of a manifesto that Breivik had posted on the Internet.

In the summer, Poland was asked to provide information on a man who was mentioned by Breivik as a possible source of substances that could be used in the production of explosives. An investigation revealed that Breivik had bought small quantities of two different chemical substances from an online vendor in Poland.

The vendor, Lukasz Mikus, admitted in August that Breivik ordered at least 50 kilograms (110 pounds) of aluminum powder from his company early this year and appeared to be a legitimate trade representative from a Norwegian company.

Alexandria, Va. - The Syrian government strongly denies allegations from federal prosecutors that a Virginia man was spying on American protestors who oppose President Bashar Assad’s regime.

The Syrian embassy issued a statement Wednesday denying that Mohamad Anas Haitham Soueid (SWAYD) is an agent for Syria or that he met personally with Assad.

It called the accusations “absolutely baseless and unacceptable.”

A federal magistrate ordered Soueid held pending a detention hearing Friday after prosecutor Dennis Fitzpatrick said Soueid represents “a serious risk of flight.”

Soueid wore a black fleece pullover and blue jeans. He said he had not yet had a chance to contact his attorney, but did not say who his attorney is. Court records do not list a defense attorney.

Women end sex strike in remote Colombian town Bogota, Colombia - The women of the Colombian town of Barbacoas have declared their sex strike over.

It is not clear how many women took part, and compliance is impossible to prove. But the women of the remote southwestern town say their demand for a road was met.

They announced June 22 that they would deny their partners sex until authorities began paving a 35-mile road linking the town of 35,000 people with the provincial capital of Pasto.

Army engineers began work Tuesday. The paved road will cut travel time by at least six hours.

Barbacoas Mayor Jose Arnulfo Preciado tells The Associated Press he’ll happily submit to a polygraph to prove the protest was honored.

He says his wife slept in a separate room during the strike.

Egyptian military denies shooting protesters Cairo - Egypt’s military rulers blamed Christian protesters and “enemies of the revolution” on Wednesday for triggering the clashes that left 26 dead, almost all of them Christians.

The accusation was sure to enflame the fury within and beyond the Christian community over the worst violence since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster.

At a lengthy news conference to present their version of the events, generals from the Supreme Council of Armed Forces showed footage of priests and a Coptic Christian activist they accused of “instigating” the violence on Sunday night with calls for demonstrations and storming the state television building. He accused protesters of “savage” attacks on the military.

Many of those killed were crushed when armored military vehicles sped through crowds of protesters and ran them over. Other victims had gunshot wounds. The clashes outside the state television building were the worst between the military and protesters in the eight months since Egypt’s uprising and has put the ruling generals on the spot.

In front of more than 50 reporters, Maj. Gen. Adel Emara, a member of the ruling council and deputy defense minister, tried to clear the military of any blame in the killings. He denied troops opened fire at protesters, claiming their weapons did not even have live ammunition. He said it was not in “the dictionary of the armed forces to run over bodies ... even when battling our enemy.”

U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan at 1,687 As of Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011, at least 1,687 members of the U.S. military had died in Afghanistan as a result of the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, according to an Associated Press count.

The AP count is five less than the Defense Department’s tally, last updated Wednesday at 10 a.m. EDT. At least 1,412 military service members have died in Afghanistan as a result of hostile action, according to the military’s numbers.

Outside of Afghanistan, the department reports at least 100 more members of the U.S. military died in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Of those, 12 were the result of hostile action.

The AP count of total OEF casualties outside of Afghanistan is one more than the department’s tally.

The Defense Department also counts three military civilian deaths.

Since the start of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, 14,455 U.S. service members have been wounded in hostile action, according to the Defense Department.

Family lost in corn maze calls 911 for help Danvers, Mass. - Authorities in Massachusetts say a family that got lost in a seven-acre corn maze called 911 for help, apparently taking advantage of the police department’s motto that says “We Want To Be Bothered.”

The maze at Connors Farm in Danvers has pathways totaling sevenmiles long and can take up to an hour to navigate.

A police officer and his dog entered the maze with a farm manager on Columbus Day to search for the disoriented father, mother and two children, including a three-weeks-old infant. The family didn’t realize they had almost made their way out and were just 25 feet from the street.

It took the search party about 10 minutes to find the family. They were helped by a police dispatcher who stayed on the phone with the caller and asked the couple to yell for help to enable those looking for them to identify their location.

“Never again!” the woman is heard telling the dispatcher on police tapes.

“We thought this would be fun, instead it’s a nightmare.”

The family called police after sunset, shortly after the farm’s closing time.

“Hi I just called, I’m still stuck at Connor’s Farms, I don’t see anybody I’m really scared, it’s really dark and we’ve got a three-week-old baby with us,” the woman is heard on police tapes telling the dispatcher.

Farm Manager Rich Potter said farm workers had not even checked to see if visitors were still making their way through the maze.

Potter said he only became aware that the family was lost in the maze when a police cruiser pulled up.

his week’s column was inspired by an assignment for my news writing class. Our assignment was to write a reaction story where we polled students and faculty on an issue. The class chose parking on campus as our topic.

By doing this assignment, I found out there was a consensus that there needs to be more parking available for students.

Alecia Stuckey, a junior rehabilitation science major, said she had issues with finding a place to park while she attended class.

“I actually have gotten two tickets because I don’t have a commuter’s pass. When I tried to get one, they said I don’t live

far enough from campus, and that Eagle Park has a bus, so I have to ride it or park at the meters and pay. Yet, Reinhard people can get commuter’s passes,” Stuckey said.

I found this statement interesting.

According to the Reinhard Villages website, Reinhard is 3/10 miles away from campus.

According to the Eagle Park Apartments website, they are three blocks away from campus. When I looked them both up, I found that Eagle Park and Reinhard were not far from each other at all.

How can one place allow students to receive a commuter’s pass, while another doesn’t?

According to the university website, students are eligible for a commuter parking permit if they live beyond the radius of fourth Avenue.

I personally don’t think this is fair considering there are a lot of students living in Eagle Park apartments.

Other issues about parking were mentioned.

Nicko Peterson, a senior

business accounting major, has not had any specific issues with parking, but he feels that more metered parking spots would save students money on buying parking passes, he said.

Parking passes are $150 annually for students. This may not seem like a lot, but added to other fees students pay year-round, it can add up.

Here at Clarion we have a parking committee.

They are supposed to meet every month and are open to the university community.

I think the students should bring their issues to the committee. If no one speaks up, the university will never know how the students feel.

Feel free to email me at a.r.thornton@eagle. clarion.edu with any issues at Clarion you want addressed.

Recycling at Clarion

chief@clarioncallnews.com

It was recently brought to my attention that we are not actually recycling here at Clarion. Students and staff who recycle and bring their recyclables here are being fooled.

A few weeks ago, a close friend of mine witnessed the recyclables being poured in with the trash behind Gemmell.

The recyclables were separated by material but were poured on top of the trash anyway.

I brought this up to other friends and heard countless other accounts of similar situations being witnessed.

This “pretend recycling” clearly must come to an end because our recycling efforts are being needlessly wasted, and some who are disheartened by this situation have actually stopped recycling because they feel their efforts are useless.

Please, join me in voicing that we WANT to recycle and demand this deceit come to an end.

Speaker sees connection in abortion, contraception BRANDY HADDEN Copy Editor

John Lennon stared at audience members as people filled in the seats of the Gemmell Multi-Purpose Room.

On Wednesday, Oct. 11, Dr. Janet Smith spoke to a packed MPR about contraceptive use.

Dr. Smith is the Michael McGivney Chair of Life Ethics at Sacred Heart Seminary, Detroit and is wellknown for her talks about ethics.

“All of these people were adopted,” Smith said, pointing to a Power Point picture of celebrities including Lennon. “You may never be world famous. You may never be world class in anything, but you will mean a whole lot to someone.”Dr. Smith only began her introduction before commenting on the protestors, thanking them for their presence Two slides into her presentation Dr. Smith listed the effects that were predicted that the invention of the women’s oral contraceptive, “the pill,” would have on America. The expectations were that people would have sexual freedom, people would be happier, there would be fewer unwed pregnancies, fewer abortions, better marriages and overpopulation issues would be controlled.

Right away facts struck the expectation of fewer abortions. The pill was introduced to America in the early ‘60s, and Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973.

The myth now, according to a pamphlet by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, is that America’s abortion rate is fairly low. Actually, the U.S. has the “third highest [rate] of all developed nations worldwide.”

“There are 1.31 million induced abortions annually in the U.S.; 24.5 percent of all U.S. pregnancies end in abortion,” according to the pamphlet.

Dr. Smith said, “People say, ‘What about rape and incest?’ Well, .3 percent of abortions are caused by rape, .03 percent come from incest and 98 percent is by personal choice.”

The presentation showed some of the chemical effects that the pill has on the female body. Dr.

Jessica Bedeaux / The Clarion Call

Dr. Smith speaks about contraceptive use and abortion.

Smith said, “Women put these chemicals into their bodies day after day, month after month, year after year, to treat a healthy condition.”

Some students agree, but think that that’s not the only issue people are facing.

“Being able to conceive is a healthy condition which is true and people that normally agree to this practice abstinence. However sexual urges are natural also, therefore going against those urges is unnatural and foreign to the body as well,” said Samantha Stupak, a senior speech pathology major.

Dr. Smith also focused on the issue of sexual

freedom in today’s society. “People never used to say ‘having sex.’ People didn’t say those words.

We said, ‘making love.’”

An audible “ew” was heard from an audience member and Dr. Smith went on. “Now people in college have a lot of sexual freedom no one disputes that. All we need is alcohol, a dark room and flat surface, right?”

Stupak said, “This is a huge generalization. There are people in college that are still virgins, who don’t drink alcohol or are in committed relationships. I think that was an inaccurate, extreme, harsh statement.”

Dr. Smith slowly made the connect from the pill, to college, to abortions, to poverty. According to her presentation, 32.6 percent of women who get abortions are between the ages of 20 and 24. These are the women who are most likely in college. As for the women who don’t get abortions, a lot of them become single mothers.

“More than four in 10 children are born into singleparent families,” Smith said, and went on to present the statistic that single parent families make up 71.2 percent of what is considered the poor population.

Therefore, the women who had sexual freedom due to the pill either had abortions or babies while being single, which is contributing to the poverty rate.

“Another huge assumption,” Stupak said, “So many factors effect the poverty rate, things change. Why would we pinpoint one topic?”

Dr. Alviani of the music department disagrees.

“I think anyone with an open mind would be able to look at these studies and reasonably arrive at many of the same conclusions she did. She was very careful to distinguish between correlation and causality, which is a very important point that is often misunderstood,” he said.

Dr. Smith ended her presentation leaving the audience with this statement, “I’m glad you weren’t aborted, and I hope you never do it to your children.”

Students for Life, Catholic Campus Ministry, the Newman Club, Muslim Students Association and College Conservatives sponsored the event.

Homecoming lineup celebrated Speaker tells of rag-to-riches life MARISSA KATZ Features Staff

Clarion University students were able to partake in not only the Autumn Leaf Festival activities Oct. 8, but also the annual Homecoming celebration.

Homecoming began early at noon on Saturday with a parade through the town. All registered student organizations were able to create a float to showcase their contributions to Clarion University.

After the parade, community members and students gathered at Memorial Stadium to watch the Clarion Golden Eagles overtake the Lock Haven Bald Eagles.

During the game, fans were able to watch as Darrian Rivera and Erin Stovich were crowned 2011 Clarion University Homecoming King and Queen. However, this was not without complication.

While being announced, the Homecoming Court was left to stand confused while the football game resumed in the background. When fans started cheering, it was unclear as to whether the cheering was for the announcements or the game.

However, when Rivera and Stovich were announced as King and Queen, the encouragement from the audience was unmistakably for the two seniors.

On Saturday night, about 50 to 60 Clarion University students gathered in the Gemmell Multipurpose Room for the annual homecoming dance.

Though the turnout may not have been that of previous years, students were still able to enjoy the memorable process of getting dressed up in formal attire and dancing the night away.

Attendees of the homecoming dance were able to dip and sway to disc jockeys Charles Tibbs and Jourdan Blanding, who in addition to spinning for the homecoming dance, also happen to be students at Clarion University.

Guests were also able to admire the MPR which was decorated to fit the theme “An Autumn to Remember,” which just so happens to be the same theme for the dance last year.

Clarion University Activities Board special events chair, Kevin Easley, was in charge of putting together all the Homecoming festivities. He had help from his co-chair, Angela Leonardi, and the weekend programming chair Chris “Kitt” Romer.

Cross-country travelers stop in Clarion ALEX KRACH Staff Writer

Adventure lays only one step out of the door, but self-discovery and inspiration can lead one thousands of miles away from home.

Edwin Bond, Michael Nelson and Eli Lepen left the world that was familiar to them in San Francisco, California on March 7 and took to the road by foot in hopes of reaching New York City

by Halloween.

The journey will take them approximately 3400 miles from start to finish. As if this task alone is not daunting enough, the trio are currently writing a book, blogging about their journey, and making the first cross country trail map that will feature places to eat at, places to stay at, restrooms, and the locations of where dangerous areas can

be found.

However, to them, this is all a necessity in achieving their dream.

“We want people to believe and know that everything is possible,” stated Bond. “We want to lead by example and if you believe in that, anything can be achieved.”

Because of their commitment, the team of three is making waves with people and what started as a distant dream where they spent nights in tents and in the wild, has become more tangible as people started taking notice of their efforts.

Now, the team has a number of sponsors who put them up in hotels when they need it and are just as hopeful for their journey as the trio is.

However, this is not to say that the team is not facing dangers and pushing through trou-

bles. In fact, in June, they got caught in a hailstorm while rafting on the Bighorn River between Wyoming and Montana.

Adding to this, their raft began to sink in still frigid water of the winter runoffs.

“We thought that was it,” stated Bond, “We swam over to the side of the river and there was no way out.

We were surrounded by thousand foot rock face and the debris was falling down and hitting us in the heads.”

Yet, they pushed on, pumped up the raft and the moment that they got the raft out on the river, the sun began shining again.

“The experience has been extremely humbling and energizing,” stated Bond.

While riding in a boat, a man yells “Turn back or suffer the consequences.” The frightened passengers in the boat immediately start crying and praying.

Contemplating the consequences, the captain of the boat continues on his journey.

It is 6 a.m. July 9, 1994, and the passengers in the boat are escaping from Havana, Cuba. Andres Lara was one of those passengers.

Lara, 32, aka “The Cuban Guy,” spoke to Clarion Students on Monday Oct. 10 in the Multi-Purpose Room in the Gemmell Student Complex.

When Lara moved to the United States, he was sixteen with no money, parents or a home. Today, he is the CEO of a company called “A. Success in Training Inc.” He travels around the world motivating students on how to become successful.

“I want to instill a sense of hope that anything is possible regardless of your circumstances,” Lara said.

Lara was inspired to become a speaker after sitting in a session while in college.

After the session, he told himself he wanted to become a speaker.

There was one problem, Lara couldn’t speak English.

The speaker told him, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Lara took this advice, which led him to the career he has today.

teractive session with the students. He chooses interactive sessions to “break barriers students already have.” Lara said, “They need something different and unique.”

The students enjoyed the session.

“It was awesome, Paul Sherer, a computer and political science major said, “very motivational, I would see him again if I had the opportunity.”

“I thought he was excellent. I enjoyed every moment of it.

He allows people to interact with his seminar, so you’re not just sitting there,” Aqiyla Leonard, a sociology major, said.

The speaker was sponsored by the University Activity Board’s Multicultural Chair, Elizabeth Torres.

“It was an awesome experience; I appreciate him talking to our students,” Torres said.

Students read for cancer cure The Reading for the Cure is an annual event held on Clarion University’s campus every October. It is an evening of informal readings of prose and poetry by members of the university community, members of Clarion’s community and many Clarion University alumni.

The event promotes breast cancer awareness and education. Each year a handmade quilt is donated by a member of the Clarion community and all money raised from the quilt raffle, as well as money raised from t-shirt sales, is donated to Komen Pittsburgh Race for the Cure.

Since Komen officials routinely attend the event and are impressed with their efforts, the money we raise is

used for educational and medical programs that benefit individuals in all of Western Pennsylvania.

Primarily, the money is used to provide free mammograms to underserved individuals in our region.

As a result of our fundraising, Clarion University’s Reading for the Cure has been an official sponsor of the Pittsburgh Race for the Cure event for the past 13 years. This means, among other honors, that Clarion’s name appears on 35,000 Race t-shirts every year, promoting the university’s commitment to service.

This year’s Reading for the Cure event will be held Friday, Oct. 14, 2011, at 6 pm in Moore Hall.

TOP 10 Vampire films that don’t suck 6. “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”

RUSSELL PEKELNICKY Features Editor

Halloween draws near and the time for horror cinema is upon us. In the wake of Clarion’s “Dracula,” some might feel a further craving for more spectacles involving the nocturnal bloodsuckers we all have come to know and fear, the vampire. Here are some suggestions for those who want their fill of horror without any silly glowing or unnecessary romantic jumbles.

10. “Nosferatu” What is a proper list of vampire films without this timeless piece of horror cinema? Incomplete, that’s what. “Nosferatu” is the story of Bram Stoker’s novel, but made all the creepier by the archetypal grotesque blood-sucker that has become a mainstay in many interpretations of the vampire. The film’s black and white and silent, but it still scares up the chills with the monster makeup and the stark visual style that makes pictures of the monster still creepy after all these years.

9. “Interview with a Vampire” This film is a haunting depiction of the life and times of a vampire in his quest to find purpose in his undying existence. Its existential nature is matched by terrific performances by Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, a preteen Kirsten Dunst and Antonio Banderas as vampires.

It’s still a bit sappy, but has enough going on for non”Twilight” fans to not hate it.

8. “30 Days of Night” An adaptation of the graphic novel of the same name, “30 Days of Night” takes the monsters to the Alaskan town of Barrow, which has 30 days of darkness for the vampires to lay seige upon the town. The vampires are gruesome and twisted, the blood flows plenty, the scares are more than just your basic jumpscares and the overall atmosphere is one of doomed survival. It’s a solid film that takes back the vicious bloodlust of the vampire

7. “Martin” George Romero ventures into the realm of the vampire on this film, which tells the story of the eponymous Martin, a boy who claims to be a vampire, and even goes about drinking the blood of his victims. It’s a more realistic take on the vampire, where he has no actual powers, but just a grim fascination with drinking blood and the macabre. It’s a good solid character piece to ground any horror movie marathon.

Francis Ford Coppela’s adaptation of the novel is a pretty cut-and-dried interpretation. While admittedly the acting can be a bit laughable at places, the art direction of the film overall is quite phenomenal and the score is to die for. It’s a solid adaptation of the work.

5. “Monster Squad” While not strictly a vampire-only film, this serves amazingly as an example of how a multi-monster film should work. Dracula takes center stage of a group of monsters who seek to destroy the world, and the only thing stopping them is a group of middle-school students and their monster club. The film has a number of classic moments and proves that kids can be just as awesome at monster fighting as adults.

4. “From Dusk ‘til Dawn” This Robert Rodgriguez/Quentin Tarantino collaboration film starts out as a standard Tarantino with a pair of foul-mouthed, fast-talking criminals escaping the law and heading for Mexico. They capture a preacher and his family and get across the border. The trouble starts after they get to a bar that houses a clan of ravenous, homocidal vampire bloodsuckers. It’s a bloody riot of a good time.

3. “Night Watch” Hailing from Russia is “Night Watch,” a psychodelic vampire noir that blows minds with its visuals. Director Timur Bekmambetov brings the story to life with its powerful visuals that set the mold for subsequent vampire action films.

2. “The Lost Boys” Hailing from the ‘80s is the Corey Haim/Corey Feldman vehicle that proves that not everything from the ‘80s was awful. The story is a complex metaphor for growing up, but it’s also a fantastically bloody vampire film. It also introduces one of the most endearing of all vampire-hunting duos in the form of the Frog Brothers, a pair of teenage comic junkies who live to hunt vampires.

1. “Let the Right One In” This Swedish film depicts the blossoming relationship between an ageless vampire-forever stuck as a little girl and a troubled boy. It’s a haunting and striking piece of cinema, with powerful visuals and exceptional writing.

Creature Feature: Vampires RUSSELL PEKELNICKY Features Editor

Vampires have existed in legend as far back as 125 AD in Greek mythology with The Lamia, which was a human woman turned to evil by great loss and ate the flesh and blood of the innocent.

The word “Upir” (an early form of the word later to become ‘Vampire’) appears for the first time in writing in 1047 in a document to a Russian prince as “Upir Lichy” or ‘Wicked Vampire.’

Vampire legends started in the far East, more related to the Iranians, and moved west with caravans along the silk route to the Mediterranian. From there they spread up into the Slavic lands and the Carpathian Mountains around the 8th century.

Almost as soon as they arrived the Christianization process began and vampire legends soon thrived as warnings against sin and vice of the secular world.

Fear of vampires came from the fact that they not only killed people but also looked like people; the only differences were that they didn’t have a shadow, nor did they reflect in a mirror.

In addition to this, they could change their shape into a bat, wolf or fog which made them impossible to catch. At daytime, the vampires slept in their coffins to

escape from the sun’s dangerous rays, in soil of their homeland.

Vampires would roam the night and lived off human blood, usually through the neck.

A vampire could only enter a home they were invited to, but could come and go as they wished once invited. Slavic vampires also had the trait of being able to sire other vampires. The only ways to kill a vampire include a stake to the heart, beheading or burning the body. Holy water and crucifixes were also said to have power against vampires due to their unholy nature as abominations against God. The Slavics were far from the only region to have their own vampires. Africa had the The Asasabonsam, a variety of vampire that have hooks instead of feet and tend to bite their victims on the thumb.

The East had its share of vampire variations as well. The Baital hails from India and is said to be half-man, half-bat and stands roughly a meter and a half tall. The Ch’Iang Shih were created by a cat jumping over a corpse, and they had poisonous breath. Their weakness was piles of rice, which they would be compelled to count.

Western Europe had its share of nosferatu variations aswell The Scottish stake claim to the

Baobhan Sith, an evil faerie who appears to be a beautiful woman and will dance with men until they are exhausted, then feed on them while they’re helpless. Ireland also has Dearg-Due, which could only be killed by building a cairn of stones over the grave.

Finally, Eastern Europe was far from having just one breed of vampire to call its own. Krvopijacs, also known as Obours, were otherwise normal, except for their one nostril and pointed tongue. Romanians had Strigoiul, which attacked in flocks and could be killed by putting garlic in their mouths and removing their heart.

Upierczi of Russia and Poland had stingers under their tongues, and were active from noon to midnight and were vulnerable to only fire. Once killed, their bodies burst with maggots and rodents. If allowed to escape, the Upierczi would reform from the remains. The Serbian Vlokoslak, or Mulos, would appear wearing white and be active at all hours, and could change into sheep or horses. They could be killed by cutting off their toes or driving nails into their neck.

The current variations of vampires combine elements of many of these, but all share the basic model of blood-sucking and nocturnal activity.

BLAYNE SHEAFFER

The Music Box is back again this week discussing La Dispute’s new album, “Wildlife.” The Music Box Podcast can be heard Friday mornings on 91.7 WCUC-FM at 11 a.m. If you have any music related questions, email us at enter tainment@ clarioncallnews.com, @tweet us at twitter. com/call_ae.

Everyone loves a consistency that never disappoints and always leaves them wanting more. La Dispute’s new album, “Wildlife,” proves that this is one of the few bands that can keep that consistency, while still sounding fresh and not repetitive. Ten seconds into the first track I was smiling and comforted by the sound that “Wildlife” had to offer. There was a sense of nostalgia and regaining an old friend.

While it may seem odd to snuggle under the covers to the hardcore, screampoetry of La Dispute, true fans can appreciate what a relief it is to be able to do this with any band’s new album.

As usual, the lyrics to this album are amazing.

The contrast of the gorgeous poetry and Jordan Dreyer’s emo-tortured vocals can be both distracting and the characteristic that pulls the listener in to the band’s style. Their song, “Safer in the Forest / Love Song for Poor Michigan,” is definitely one of the best tracks on the new album, lyrically speaking. With lines such

ELORA WALSH Former Weezer bassist, Mikey Welsh, was found dead Saturday in his hotel in Chicago. Although the cause of death is still to be determined, Welsh had actually predicted his own death two weeks before on Twitter.

“Dreamt I died in Chicago next weekend (heart attack in my sleep).

Need to write my will today,” tweeted Welsh Sept. 26. He then followed up by tweeting, “correction - the weekend after next.”

Welsh, a father of two, was in Chicago to see Weezer headline Riot Fest that day. Welsh was replaced by Scott Shriner after he checked himself into a psychiatric hospital in 2001.

NEXT WEEK TORI AMOS - “NIGHT OF HUNTERS”

First and foremost, I would like to take this chance to say that when Sam and I started our journey as best friends, La Dispute was one of the many bands he put on the recommended listening list. With that being said, I’ve been a fan ever since.

The combination of their hardcore genre with the conversational spoken word vocals of Jordan Dreyer create a story for listeners to visualize.

Now, if you have been a dedicated Music Box reader since last year, I know what you’re thinking. “I thought Elora didn’t like spoken word after reading her review of The Streets.” Well that is where you’re wrong. When Dreyer “speaks,” he grasps the attention of his audience and retains their attention by conversing with them through song. Enough of how great I think Dreyer is.

Let’s jump into this album.

“Wildlife” finally adds another tally under the full-length album column, and I must say, it’s about time they got another al-

Entertainment

as, “A noiseless chorus blows through the leaves and trees, From a place where the song kept changing, Just when he was starting to get it.” It’s clear that these are the words that will be used to describe poetry of our time in the future.

Musically, it was hard to decide which song was the best, as this is the biggest factor contributing to the band’s likability.

However, it’s safe to say that “St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church Blues,” “Edit Your Hometown” and “The Most Beautiful Bitter Fruit” will be the crowd pleases from this album. The band’s indiescream sound, which represents our generation’s taste in music, resonates through the “Wildlife” album.

La Dispute continues to provide a spoken word component in tracks like “A Broken Jar” and “A Poem,” where the acoustics fade into the background and do not take away from the lyrics. It is a café-mosh feel that is a guilty pleasure for indie, hardcore, and acoustic fans. With such a mashup of different tastes, this is a band that listeners will either love or hate.

But when a band continues to create the kind of music that they love like La Dispute does, it is clear that anyone who is not a fan of their music is of no concern to them.

This is a band to be respected, as “Wildlife” did not disappoint. bum recorded. It’s not that their EPs aren’t great, or that “Somewhere At the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair” didn’t cut it. The fact is that the moment I listened to their first full length, I wanted more.

The first track that caught my attention, and that is my favorite off the album, is “St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church Blues.” It opens with a funky guitar rift and light and quick top hat taps before Dreyer makes his presence known and brings the hardcore to the party.

Lyrically, the song ties together the theme and the song title. The opening lyrics “Stained-glass and the choir sing out that strong and ceaseless chorus here,” give the scenario as Dreyer narrates.

The last song on the track list, “You and I in Unison,” wraps the album up perfectly. The song is about two lovers and their journey that has come to an end. The last line of the song, “Until I die I will sing our names in unison” gives the message of never giving up.

As a La Dispute fan, I will say that I found this album to be a real treat.

Any time I listen to them I find myself looking around for Dreyer as if he’s sitting in the room with me. That helps create an inviting sound that is a listening favorite.

SAMUEL DIXON After releasing a number of EPs and even doing two splits with Touché Amoré and Koji, La Dispute is back to prove it can still release a full album. “Wildlife” tells the story of a fictional author and his unfinished short stories.

The first song, “A Departure,” is used to set up this concept.

La Dispute has a knack for starting an album strong, and it is good to see this hasn’t changed. Vocalist Jordan Dreyer catches listeners off-guard right from the start, coming in at an awkward count with a distant sounding scream.

Dreyer uses this newfound attention to lead listeners through what is almost a writer’s forward for the album. The song isn’t as experimental, or even bluesy sounding, as the rest of the album, but the straightforward momentum-building rock sound the band plays fits well and never gives listeners a jumping-off point.

ANDI FULMER This week’s band, La Dispute, did not start off on a good foot with me.

Though the music was fantastic, the voice of the lead singer didn’t sit well with me. His shouting style of singing had my head pounding about three songs in, despite that, I enjoyed the lyrics. However, it might have been the turn in the weather from sunny and warm to cool and gray, but when I gave the album another listen, it was suddenly much more enjoyable.

I particularly enjoyed the track “You and I In Unison.” It sounded to me like someone sitting with a beloved friend who is in mourning, as though the singer is comforting someone through a dark time, while at the same time talking himself through his own grief. The music was straightforward and without any embellishment.

It accomplished the rock sound the band is well known for, and the bareness of it suited the song.

Another song I enjoyed was “Safer in the Forest/

“Harder Harmonies” was released as a single for this album and it’s apparent why. The song features the aggressive blues sound the band is praised for, sounding an awful lot like “New Storms for Old Lovers.” The song also starts to show signs of the muiltidirectional story line that is carried throughout, comparing a musician’s inability to fit in with the author’s own.

“Edward Benz, 27 Times” is a haunting look at just how poetic and dark La Dispute can get. About a family and their schizophrenic son, the song traverses Dreyer’s lyrical and vocal talents.

Dreyer is the standout here, as he is in the rest of the album.

If listeners can’t enjoy the content in this song, La Dispute might not be for them.

La Dispute is sincere; listeners are not getting a hardcore vocalist hiding behind metaphors and poorly transitioned breakdowns, but instead a poet supported by a band that has found a post-hardcore sound exploding at the seams with jazz and blues influences. While certainly not for everyone, I strongly recommend giving this album a listen. If listeners need a Rosetta Stone for this type of music, listen to the band’s “Here, Here III” EP. Love Song for Poor Michigan.” On this track, unlike the last, the song starts with a lovely, lone guitar and the slow addition of a quiet drum part. It builds slowly and creates a great setting for the descriptive lyrics of this track. Although the lyrics are sad and desperate, the guitar part threads a hopeful sound into the song, and it’s incredibly beautiful.

The rest of the album eventually fades into a mass of noise wherein all the songs sound the same, beside one other track I found myself enjoying only after fellow Music Boxer Elora mentioned it as one of her favorites: “St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church Blues.”

I enjoyed how the song started on a different note before the singer launches into the lyrics and brings with him the heavier music. There is something bluesy and at once something punk about this song that is particularly great as the song slows down in the middle. Once again, I was impressed at the poeticism and description in these lyrics that, somehow, made the emotional shouting make more sense.

Do I think the album as a whole is particularly spectacular? No. However, it does hold some gems that even for someone who isn’t familiar with this style of music can not only appreciate, but also sincerely enjoy.

Fiscus’ option clinic leads Golden Eagles to first victory JOHN OWENS MATT CATRILLO Sports Staff

As last week’s annual Autumn Leaf Festival illuminated downtown Clarion, the Golden Eagles football team lit up the scoreboard to earn its first victory by defeating Lock Haven 54-6 in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West game in front of Saturday’s large homecoming crowd.

In what coach Jay Foster felt was a long time coming, the Golden Eagles (1-5 overall, 1-2 PSAC) played 60 minutes of fundamentally sound football, scoring nine times and preventing the visiting Bald Eagles (05, 0-3) from scoring any touchdowns.

After the game, he said the team has been persistent despite its 0-5 start.

“We really put forth a tremendous effort all year long,” Foster said.

“You just keep talking and keep playing, and we were able to make some plays.”

Instrumental in the victory was sophomore quarterback Ben Fiscus, who ran an option clinic on the Bald Eagle defense.

Fiscus rushed for two touchdowns, passed for two touchdowns and finished with 21 carries for 204 yards rushing

Rebecca Alviani / The Clarion Call

Sophomore Ben Fiscus becomes the first quarterback in school history to rush for more than 200 yards in a game. and 36 yards passing.

“We came into the game ready to throw the ball, but the guys up front blocking allowed us to run through our holes,” Fiscus said, giving credit to the offensive line.

He said the option was

successful because Lock Haven was keying on the running backs, which allowed him to average nearly 10 yards a carry.

After Clarion’s first possession resulted in a three-and-out, Lock Haven took a 3-0 lead on a

38 yard field goal.

Two drives later, the Golden Eagles took the lead for good at 7-3 on a two yard run by sophomore tailback Brandon Akins to cap a fiveplay, 29-yard drive.

Akins and junior run-

ning back John Fuhrer combined with Fiscus to carry the offense, combining to account for 402 of the team’s 474 total yards.

Gaining yards, however, has never been the concern of Foster.

“We’ve been getting better,” Foster said. “I don’t get excited about yards; I get excited about points.”

Foster had plenty of reasons to be excited after the game, as the team scored on offense, defense and special teams.

Junior Robert Tantlinger and senior Barrington Morrison combined to block a Bald Eagle punt that rolled out of the back of the end zone late in the first half for a safety, and defensive end Sean Motley recovered a Lock Haven fumble in the end zone in the fourth quarter to cap the 48-point route.

In the third quarter, the Golden Eagles took control with the defense and shut down Lock Haven, holding them to less than 30 yards.

Meanwhile, the offense used three consecutive scoring drives of 73, 93 and 47 yards for a possession time of 8:54.

Clarion’s first victory of the season is historic because this is the first time since 2000 that the Golden Eagles scored more than 50 points in a PSAC West contest.

They hope to build on their momentum heading into this week’s game against Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Kickoff will be on Saturday, Oct. 15, at 3 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.

Freshmen Lead Eagles past Shippensburg JACOB OBERDORF Sports Staff

Joe Bucci / The Clarion Call

Freshmen Laura Saussol records 13 saves in 1-0 win Tuesday.

On Tuesday, Oct. 11, the Golden Eagles soccer team was lead by their freshmen players and defeated Shippensburg with a final score of 1-0.

The Eagles gained many scoring chances off of their counter attack but were not able to capitalize.

That is until the 28th minute of the first half when freshman Casey Harsch connected with fellow freshman Alyssa Liebdzinski off of a free kick for the lone goal of the game.

The Eagles defense was able to fight off many pushes by Shippensburg, who had their fair share of chances.

Freshman goalie Laura Saussol made many

key saves en route to her second shutout of the season.

Saussol finished the game with 13 saves. The success of the young goal keeper comes as no surprise head coach Rob Eaton.

“I don’t know that she has exceeded my expectations because I knew she was darn good.”

Eaton is pleased with Saussol’s level of play so far this season.

“I think she is a very strong goal keeper and as a freshman she has done very well.”

According to Eaton, the future could be very bright for the young goal keeper.

“I think by the time she is a senior, if she stays healthy, she could go down as one of the best keepers in the conference.”

Saussol credits her teammates in helping her achieve the level at which she plays at.

“When the defense plays good I feed off of that, and when I play good I think they feed off of that. We’re always there to help and it’s good we play as a team.”

Senior Jordan Daloisio came off the bench for the Eagles and finished with a team high three shots.

Eaton was not pleased with the overall play of his team but was happy to come away with the win.

“It was an athletic contest that we outmatched their effort” Eaton, however, was pleased with the attitude his team played with.

“We played with a lot of desire, and maybe that’s what we need to

turn the corner.”

The Eagles have two games next week traveling to CalU, followed by a game at Edinboro University.

The Eagles final home game will be played on Oct. 22, when they host Kutztown University.

The Golden Eagles soccer team also celebrated homecoming Saturday, Oct. 8, with a trip to Slippery Rock.

The Eagles were defeated in the contest with the final score of 3-0, and were out shot in the game 22-4.

All three Slippery Rock goals came from close range.

Liebdzinski, Crystal Miller, Casey Harsch,and Bethany Naugle each recorded a shot for the Eagles.

Goalie Laura Saussol finished the game with five saves.

Penguins beat Panthers 4-2 in home opener PITTSBURGH— Matt Cooke scored his team-leading third goal of the season and the Pittsburgh Penguins raced past the Florida Panthers 4-2 on Tuesday night.

Pascal Dupuis, James Neal and Richard Park also had goals for the Penguins, who are off to their best start in 17 seasons despite playing without captain Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

Crosby remains sidelined while he recovers from concussion-like symptoms, but Pittsburgh hasn’t needed him during the season’s first week, improving to 3-0-1. Malkin missed his second straight game because of what Penguins coach Dan Bylsma called “soreness.”

Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 32 shots for the Penguins, who never trailed in their home opener.

Marcel Goc and Tomas Fleischmann scored for the Panthers, who failed to start the season with consecutive victories for the first time since 2005.

Pittsburgh beat Florida for the fifth straight time behind the kind of disciplined, steady play that has become the Penguins’ identity with Crosby out of the lineup.

Crosby went through a rigorous morning skate on Tuesday as he continues his slow, methodical comeback.

He still hasn’t been cleared for contact and remains guarded when talking about his future.

“I mean closer than I was yesterday, but I can’t give you a date,” Crosby said.

“I’d love for them to tell me a date I can come back and play, but it’s the same.”

The superstar, dressed in a black suit with a purple-and-black tie received a rousing ovation when he was the last player introduced during a lengthy pregame introduction. Malkin was a somewhat close second, though the Russian, like Crosby also wore a suit.

MLB

Fister, Martinez help Tigers pull to 2-1 in ALCS DETROIT— Victor Martinez slowed his home run trot to barely a jog, stepping gingerly around the bases after hurting himself with a big swing.

The banged-up Detroit Tigers are teetering but still standing, thanks to Martinez, Miguel Cabrera and another pivotal performance on the mound by Doug Fister.

“You know what? This is us,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. “We are what we are. We’ve been doing this for the whole year, and we’re going to either win this thing or go down with what we got.”

Fister again delivered a strong start in a game Detroit needed and Cabrera homered and had a tiebreaking double to lead the Tigers past the Texas Rangers 5-2 Tuesday night in Game 3 of the AL championship series.

Martinez homered in the fourth to tie the score at 1, hurting his ribcage in the process. He stayed in the game and has every intention of being in the lineup Wednesday when Detroit will try to even the series.

“The only way I’m not playing is if I wake up dead,” he said.

Detroit dropped the first two games in Texas before turning to Fister, who won the decisive fifth game of the division series at Yankee Stadium last week. He was sharp again, allowing two runs and seven hits with no walks in 7 1-3 innings.

Jose Valverde, after tossing a season-high two innings the day before, worked around a leadoff double in the ninth for his third playoff save. He got some help from Cabrera, who made a diving play at first base.

Matt Harrison starts Game 4 for Texas against Rick Porcello — both went 14-9 this season.

NFL

Hines Ward still thriving for Steelers at 35 PITTSBURGH— Hines Ward says he’ll retire when he looks across the line of scrimmage and thinks he can’t get open.

The 35-year-old wide receiver put together his first two-touchdown game in two years last weekend as the Steelers ripped Tennessee 38-17.

The seven-catch, 54-yard performance moved Ward within 13 yards of Michael Irvin for 18th-place on the NFL’s all-time receiving yardage list.

Ward says he doesn’t think much about where his career stands in relation to some of the sport’s all-time greats. He’s more concerned about getting the Steelers (3-2) back to the Super Bowl.

Pittsburgh hosts reeling Jacksonville (1-4) on Sunday and Ward said it’s important for the Steelers to put together back-to-back solid games.

Clarion Call 11 THE

Clarion cross country on the rise EDDIE MCDONALD Sports Staff

Clarion University’s women’s cross country team has had a successful season thus far.

It started with their opening invite, where they took first place.

They won by a large margin, 71 to 108.

The team placed five runners in the top 24.

Freshman Melia Schall and sophomore Megan Toddy were in the top 10 for the Golden Eagles, with Schall taking eighth place with a time of 24:47.4 and Toddy 10th with a time of 24:57.7.

Junior Ciara Shorts contributed by finishing 13th with a time of 25:20.9.

The other two Golden Eagles to place in the top 25 were freshmen Kellie Wyatt (16th, 25:27.6) and Rachel Munsee (24th 25:51.2).

Head Coach D.J. Bevevino was told by senior Jamie Wyatt, that she “had never been on a team that won in college.”

“Nobody else ever won in college either. We are in one of the most competitive conferences, and had a freshman lead us. The girls didn’t

really have confidence in the past, but this was huge for their confidence. It really helped us,” Bevevino said.

Coach Bevevino mentioned Shorts as one of his best runners on the team and it has showed so far this season.

Shorts recently led Clarion to a fourth-place finish after finishing fourth at the Carnegie Mellon Invitational held on Oct. 8. She finished with a time of 19:20.8.

“She is no question the workhorse of the team, and makes sure everyone else is working hard. She pushes too hard sometimes, but in the end it’s all worth it,” Bevevino said of Shorts.

Two other Eagles finished in the top 20 of the Carnegie Mellon race.

Toddy finished 19th with a time of 19:52.7 and Kellie Wyatt finished 20th with a time of 19:52.9.

Coach Bevevino talked about how his team has improved since the opening invite, and how big that is for the rest of the season.

“The first competition they realized how well they could do. You don’t know how you compare to other teams. They con-

tinue to improve their times, especially pace times, and their confidence continues to grow,” Bevevino said.

Bevevino has had a lot of success in his career as an athlete, coach and teacher.

He feels experience is a big thing he implements as a coach to this cross country team.

He was an All-American diver here at Clarion.

“Its great being here, special place to me. The opportunity is tremendous. I experienced real cohesiveness here, and I would love my athletes to feel that too,” Bevevino said.

Bevevino says that the team goal for the rest of the season is to remain healthy, get their legs fresh and to finish in the top 10 of the conference and region.

Clarion will be in action the next three weekends.

Next weekend, Oct. 15, they will travel to the Gannon/Mercyhurst Invite.

A week later they will head to the PSAC invite held at Lock Haven University.

They will conclude their season at the NCAA Regionals, which take place at Slippery Rock University.

Clarion wins three in PSAC Crossover MARK EMCH Sports Staff

A Friday night loss at Millersville University wasn’t enough to keep the Clarion women’s volleyball team down over the weekend.

The team steam-rolled through the PSAC Crossovers on Friday, Oct. 7 and Saturday, Oct. 8, which pitted them against Millersville, Lock Haven, Shippensburg, and East Stroudsburg.

Clarion limped into the crossovers after a close 2-3 loss to rival Edinboro at home.

They entered the weekend with a mediocre 8-8 record, 4-3 in the PSAC. Friday night’s match at Millersville didn’t help to boost the team’s spirits.

Millersville bounded out of the gates by winning the match’s first two sets.

Clarion retaliated by winning the next two consecutive sets, due largely in part to Amanda Gough’s 20 defensive digs throughout the course of the night.

Aubrey Frye added 14 of her own.

Millersville stopped the Golden Eagle rally in the fifth set, and came away with a Friday night win, 2-3.

Clarion came together in its second match of Friday night, when they faced Lock Haven.

Kellie Bartman led the squad with 14 kills.

The Golden Eagles won three straight sets to easily dispose of Lock Haven.

The team then made the 82-mile journey from Millersville to Shippensburg to compete in another double header on Saturday night.

Kellie Bartman led the Golden Eagles on offense for the second straight night, with her significant contribution of 17 kills.

Bartman and Rhianon Brady boosted their season stats with 23 and 28 digs, respectively.

Shippensburg started off the match by winning the first set.

The two teams traded sets until the fifth, when Clarion pulled through by a score of 17-15.

The Golden Eagles won three sets to two.

Clarion’s PSAC Crossover ended in a triumphant manner with a resounding 3-0 win against East Stroudsburg.

Rhianon Brady contributed 21 digs to the Saturday night win.

“As a team, we have our ups and downs,” said team member Aubrey Frye.

A modest comment, considering Clarion boosted its record to 11-9 over the weekend, good enough to keep them up and running in the hastening PSAC playoff race.

Frye said “We need to start getting more excited as a team, and not just for ourselves.”

Clarion women’s volleyball has a tough road ahead of them, as they look to face California University of Pennsylvania on Oct. 14.

CalU has dominated the PSAC through the season thus far by piecing together a 19-3 record, 10-1 in conference.

The Golden Eagles will rely on steady performers such as Gough, Bartman, Brady and Frye to keep the team afloat through the next few weeks.

Should NHL games be decided by shootouts?

JUSTIN WELTON

MICHAEL WATERLOO

As much as I would love to see National Hockey League teams battle throughout the night – similar to what we see in the postseason – it just isn’t the right way to go about ending regular season hockey games.

Teams may have back-to-back games or travel days that would make the 82-game schedule more of a grind than it already is.

Enter the always enticing and entertaining shootout.

When the National Hockey League was locked out for the entire 2004-05 season, the game was at an all-time low.

With audiences shrinking by the days, Commissioner Gary Bettman felt like he needed to do away with rewarding both teams with a tie at the end of a five minute overtime session.

At the start of the 2005-06 campaign, Bettman and the NHL implemented the shootout to give the fans a winner of the contest.

Nobody wants to go watch a sport for three hours and not see a victor.

It doesn’t make sense. Eliminating the tie was one of the best things Bettman has done to intrigue fans.

People love the shootout. Every fan in the building is on his or her feet ready to watch a skater and a goaltender go one-onone. It’s magical.

Most believe that the penalty shot is the most exciting play in hockey.

It makes perfect sense that this would be featured in a decent-size portion of the NHL season.

Playoff overtimes tend to either end quickly or last forever.

There are several instances where games last until the third, fourth, fifth or even sixth overtime.

Most hockey games are played Monday through Friday. People work, and kids go to school during the weekdays.

We have seen two, six-period overtimes in playoff history.

That is roughly two full games of hockey wrapped in one night.

This isn’t even counting the time elapsed for stoppages of play, timeouts and intermissions.

We are talking six, seven or even eight hours of hockey.

Don’t get me wrong, I would love to watch hockey through the night, but it just isn’t feasible to the casual fan.

What would players be like if they played the next night on the road?

They would have to board a plane at 4 a.m. or 5 a.m, arriving at their destination at sunrise.

Playoff hockey showcases the best postseason of any sport in the world.

A part of that reasoning is because of the sudden-death mentality.

If you implemented the sudden-death factor into the regular season games, the postseason would lose an incredible amount of luster.

Soccer, the most popular sport in the world, uses penalty kicks to decide important fixtures.

If there wasn’t a way to end the game by some sort of competition, sports like soccer and hockey could last forever.

Hockey and soccer are known for being the toughest sports to score points in.

That is why these rules are necessary for regular season games.

The shootout has been one of the most exciting features placed into the game since the lockout.

In a sport that needed excitement, the shootout is the closest feature it could utilize to make the game exciting to the casual fan.

First off, let me say that as a sports fan, I love the shootout.

I like the excitement of the one-on-one competition and the atmosphere it creates.

However, as a hockey fan, it just doesn’t make that much sense to me.

After the NHL lockout of 2004-05, the league adopted the shootout to determine the winner of the game should the score remain tied after regulation and one overtime period.

The NHL first experimented with the shootout in the 2003 All-Star game after the game was at a 5-5 tie.

When I think about the shootout deciding games, I can’t help but scratch my head and wonder how it makes sense.

People for the shootout will say that the NHL needed to win some fans over and the shootout helps create that excitement.

However, deciding a regular season game with a one-on-one skill competition doesn’t do the sport justice.

The MLB, NFL and NBA, hockey’s biggest competition, don’t have these rules.

Baseball and basketball you play until there is a winner.

In the playoffs, hockey is the same way.

Who can forget Brett Hull’s famous goal in the 1999 Stanley Cup Finals against the Buffalo Sabres that won Hull’s Dallas Stars the Stanley Cup? No shootout was needed to add excitement to that game.

The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning in game four of last year’s playoffs thanks to James Neal in double overtime, which was an amazing game for hockey fans to watch.

My argument is that it doesn’t make that much sense.

Hockey is a team game and should be decided by the team as a whole, not whether or not Miikka Kiprusoff is able to stop Alexander Ovechkin or Brad Richards on a breakaway attempt.

The NHL is looked at as the fourth major sport in the country and is looking for ways to compete with the other three major ones that I have listed above.

What if those other sports adopted a similar approach to decide the games that the NHL does?

In the NBA, it would come down to a one-on-one game to five or a slam dunk contest if the game is tied after one overtime period.

In baseball, they would grab their best sluggers for a home-run contest if the game was tied after 10 innings.

For football, the equivalent to a shootout would be seeing how far your quarterback can throw the ball or dare I say a field goal kicking contest?

What’s wrong with just letting the game end in a tie?

With the shootout, the scoring column now has a fourth column (Wins, Losses, Shootout Wins and Shootout Losses).

If the NFL, the most profitable sport in America, can end in a tie, why can’t the NHL? If you don’t want the game to end in a tie, then make it like the playoffs and have them play continuously until there is a decided winner.

The shootout is exciting to watch, but to allow a meaningful game and a team’s chance of making the playoffs to hinge on if a goalie can stop a breakaway doesn’t do justice to the game.
