Prayer is not important

Courtney MacArthur Contributing Writer

You may have seen the posters around campus reminding us that prayer is important.

For 48 hours, starting yesterday and ending tomorrow, Student Mission Fellowship (SMF) is hosting a Prayer Vigil in the Great Room of the STU,

GCC Shark week

where all students, professors, and community members are invited to come at their leisure to pray for the nations of the world.

This is the fifth vigil the group has put on, doing the event once a semester for the past three years.

Previously the event lasted for only 24 hours, but the time was extended so that more

students, professors or anyone that wishes would be able to participate even with busy weekend schedules.

The idea is that someone would be at the event praying over issues at all times over the course of the 48 hours.

“God does answer the cries of his people in marvelous ways,” senior Brian Schonewald,

president of SMF, said.

There are designated worship times at 7 p.m. on each of the three days today and tomorrow, which anyone can attend. In addition, SMF divided the Great Room into nine booths, each devoted to a different issue which participants are encouraged to pray over.

Each booth provides information which

can aid and inform the prayers of the attendees, although they do not have to pray over the information provided. The participants move through the booths at their own pace, in silence, or quietly with a friend.

The first booth welcomes participants, to help orient the attendees. The second is a set up by the Inter-

AEX goes live for annual concert

national Justice Mission and participants are encouraged to pray over Human Trafficking. The purpose of the booth is to pray about the injustice going on in the world, but also thank God for the justice he is practicing and has accomplished in the world.

Innovative Grove City College students with ideas that will improve campus life are participating in the college’s Shark Tank Competition.

The competition finalists will be presenting their ideas before the judges at 7 p.m. today in Sticht Lecture Hall. The presentations are open to campus and community members who would like to watch.

“I am always impressed with the students who are brave enough to get on stage and pitch their ideas,” says Lynn Stillwaggon, program manager for The Center for Entrepreneurship + Innovation. “… I am awed and grateful for the creative students who are investing their time and energy to serve the College campus and the student body.”

The judges chose 10 ideas out of the 21 submissions for the final round. The competition started with 33 students from across 10 different majors, showing that it’s not just entrepreneurship majors who can come up with great ideas to improve campus! The 13 finalists (some students are on teams) have been

Giving blood is lifesaving.

Without blood transfusions, 4.5 million Americans would die.

Alpha Phi Omega, a national service organization, is sponsoring a blood drive in conjunction with the American Red Cross in the Ketler Recreation Room on April 23, 2018.

Passionate about the blood drive, president of APO senior Rebbekkah Magoon said, “I feel it is important because it can help save lives and [blood donations are] always needed.

Personally, even though I am unable to donate blood myself, I still like helping out because it still helps people. I honestly can’t imagine my life without being involved with it at this point.”

Drawing both students and citizens of the town, the blood drive brings in an average of 388 people. Grove City College hosts these drives typically in December and April.

Many citizens from the local community come regularly to donate.

Blood donations are of vital necessity. According to the American Red Cross, blood transfusions are needed for a variety of purposes. These purposes include aiding “women with complications of pregnancy, children with severe anemia, and many complex medical and surgical produces and cancer patients.”

Blood transfusions are also used on a regular basis for other medical treatments. Because of the wide variety of uses of blood transfusions, there is a constant need for blood supply.

There are several types of blood dona-

With the assistance of Grove City students, Dr. Tracey Farone, professor of biology, has conducted groundbreaking research into ticks and their diseases in the past five years.

Her findings have led to the publishing of three academic articles concerning information on viruses plaguing deer in Western Pennsylvania as well as special types of ticks.

Alongside now-graduated students, the Pennsylvania Depart-

Meet the SGA Executive Board Each spring, Grove City College students have the opportunity to vote for Student Government Association Executive Committee and General Senate to represent their interests. Voting for the Executive Committee is set for today in Breen Student Union, but a surprise outcome is unlikely since all of the candidates are running unopposed. As a service to students, The Collegian is running these candidate bios so students have a chance to know who will be leading SGA in the fall.

Next week, on Friday, April 27, is the election for General Senate. Campaigning begins Wednesday. A list of candidates was not finalized

by The Collegian’s press time, but will be published in next week’s edition.

Garrett O’Toole

Executive Vice President of Communications and Marketing

Executive President I am incredibly honored and blessed to serve in the capacity of SGA Executive President for the 2018-2019 academic year. I have been a part of SGA since freshman year and have enjoyed every minute of it. It’s been a privilege to know that the student body has entrusted me with representing and serving them through all these years.

Over my time here at Grove City College SGA has been one of my favorite organizations to invest in, and I look forward to continue doing so in a greater leadership role this upcoming year. I hope to carry on the tradition of the many great leaders before me: to serve as a link between the student body and administration.

As an experienced SGA member, I am familiar with how things are run and what is necessary to not only successfully lead an organization, but also to follow through and execute on the various SGA events run throughout the year.

I hope to continue the tradition of improving the student experience through events that foster community and fellowship, along with working alongside the administration to address student needs. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Over the past three years at Grove City, I’ve gotten to know an array of people. From Spring Dance, to Marching Band, to working at the TLC, I’ve experienced multiple communities on campus. As a current junior dual major of History & Secondary Education, and a former Economics major, I understand the intricacies of different departments as well. And after serving on SGA previously, I have come to know the concerns and desires that myself and fellow students share.

Often times, students at our college can forget how valuable it is to exist in this tight-knit community. Students at Grove City have the opportunity to speak up and interact with those serving above them. Having their voices heard is important and easy to accomplish. Linking the students to the administration is a vital connection that helps our campus community thrive. I am honored to serve as the Executive Vice President of Communications and Marketing for 2018-2019, listen to your voices, and speak to the administration on your behalf. After working alongside our administration, I am encouraged that they truly care about serving the student body as best they can. I hope to hear your voices soon.

Executive Vice President of Student Affairs

Vice President of Social Affairs

This coming 2018-2019 academic year, I will have the great pleasure of serving as the SGA Executive Vice President of Student Affairs. SGA has played a great role in shaping my life the past two years here at Grove City. Both my relationships around the campus, and with members of the administration have grown thanks to serving on SGA. I hope to serve in my position on the Executive Committee this next year to positively impact the student body even further.

As a current member of SGA, I believe I have brought a unique perspective to the senate as a Mechanical Engineering Major, member of Marching Band and Concert Band, and member of the Buffaloes Housing Group.

With this varied background, I believe I have the right qualifications to represent students well. With my previous knowledge and leadership on SGA, I am grateful for the opportunity to head up Student Affairs and improve the campus we love. Thank you for your confidence and trust.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Vice President of Social Affairs. This will be my third year serving on SGA, and second year in this role.

I have enjoyed working alongside students on SGA who are passionate about investing in the student body and improving the campus. My experience on SGA has equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to continue leading the Social Affairs Committee.

As a committee, we will host events on campus such as Coffee Houses, Fall and Spring Food Fests, and the Gala. Through these events, I hope to encourage campus involvement and build community.

I also hope to be a resource on SGA for students by addressing questions or concerns they may have regarding The College. I am looking forward to serving on SGA in the 2018-19 school year and cannot wait to see what is in store for our campus!

I will bring students alongside the administration to find ways to better the campus community. As Treasurer, I will ensure the funds for SGA are used with both discernment and purpose.

I am also excited to help run the SGA events for the year, looking for ways to maximize these events for the enjoyment and benefit of the whole campus.

Vice President for Social Affairs position needs filled SGA is looking for applicants for the Vice President of Social Affairs.

DONATE continued from 1 tions: whole blood, commonly known as a blood donation, platelets, plasma, and power red.

Magoon said, “We really need power red, so if you are able, please consider donating!”

Those interested in donating blood can visit the American Red

Cross’s website to see if they qualify to donate.

Donors must be feeling healthy on the day of donation to be eligible to donate.

Magoon encouraged people to come, saying, “If you donate, there is free pizza and snacks for you.”

Those ineligible to donate can still help with the blood drive.

Volunteers are needed to help set up, greet and

check in donors and assist donors giving them snacks and drinks if needed. All students are encouraged to help with the blood drive as Magoon mentioned, “There may be some community members on campus looking for Ketler Rec, so if you could, be kind and point them in the right direction.”

Student made it through the fire

Grove City just got a little safer.

On April 12, freshman Emilia England graduated from Lawrence C o u n ty Fire Academy England (LCFA), Class 10.

Brad Shaffer, LCFA Program coordinator and emcee for the evening, welcomed 18 of 19 students along with an audience of family and friends.

John DiCola, chief of the Neshannock Volunteer Fire Company, addressed the students next. He told them to always be safe and never stop learning. In his 50 years of experience, he claims he still learns

new things every day.

The keynote address followed, which was presented by Frank Jannetti, director of Mercer County Department of Public Safety.

He instructed the students to live responsibly, so that they can best serve their community.

Next, each recruit was called onto the stage, congratulated and given their certificate of accomplishment. They then recited the firefighter’s oath and were congratulated again.

England, from Gambrills, Md., was among the 19 students who accomplished the course from the 20 who began it. She said she came into different challenges with the mindset, “If you’re going to get the job done, go get it

Everyone worries about what life after college will look like.

Taylor Hunker, Resident Director of MAP West, will be hosting an event called Life After College from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday in STEM 051, which is a new location for the event.

Her goal for this event is to provide graduating seniors with helpful tips on how to navigate the unknown and ominous life which awaits them post-graduation.

Hunker has formed a panel which will feature six GCC alumni, all of whom have graduated within the past eight years. The panel is composed of individuals with a variety of backgrounds and post-graduation stories. Some went on to graduate school to continue their education, while others dove into the business world headfirst.

Individuals on the panel are also in different seasons relationally: single, dating, engaged, and married.

Each aspect is covered and the panel is excited to share their experiences with students.

The speakers include: Hayley Nolf ‘17, Bryan Thomas ‘16, Benjamin Marasco ’16, Hannah Wilson ’15, Liz Jose ’10, and Taylor Hunker herself, a 2014 graduate.

“The Lord has taken me on a lot of journeys in my four years after college, and I want to let seniors know that God is faithful throughout all of the transitions,” said Hunker. “What we want students to take away is tangible advice.”

There are four main topics which the event will cover. First, alumni will provide practical advice for life after col-

lege, as the name of the event suggests.

Second, students will learn how to find and invest in a community after college, creating new friendships while keeping up with current ones.

Third, the panel will discuss the importance of investing in a local church, and how to do it well. Finally, the panel will cover budgeting, what is it and how to do it. This includes paying off student loans quickly, something everyone has questions about.

Hunker has experienced first-hand the difficulties of establishing community after college. She said, “I Want to bring in those people who have been both successful and not in their stories postgraduation.”

Two topics will be covered in the first half of the event, with a break for brunch before delving into the last two topics. During this time, Hunker would like to give students the opportunity to ask the panel specific questions they may have regarding a speaker’s unique experience.

In addition to verbal advice, attendees will be given a recipe and cooking tips booklet compiled by Hunker. The booklet’s contributions have been given by the speakers, Mrs. Gordon from Student Life and Learning, Jody Vernam from the GCC Counseling Center, and a few other alumni. Hunker sought out individuals which she knew to be effective meal planners, shoppers, and hosts.

While the event is primarily targeted at seniors, those who are moving to the apartments in the fall might also find this event useful, and anyone with an interest in this topic is welcome to attend.

aside, right, Emi?” Though England did come to Grove City for college, she has also wanted to become a firefighter for a long time. “I have wanted

to do this since I was a child,” she said.

England began training back in January. She and the other students completed around 200 hours of training. Each

week, they had time of classroom learning as well as field experience.

Monday and Thursday nights held up to four hours of classroom training. Every other weekend, 8 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday were devoted to hands on training.

The months of training concluded with “burn day.”

“It was the best. Going and putting out fire was fantastic,” England said.

England is now able to respond to calls with the Grove City Fire Department and can assist in putting out fires if they call upon her to do so. She continues to be involved in the mentorship program which is offered locally through the Grove City Fire Department.

Give the kids the dough

Emilia England Staff Writer

On Wednesday, Oram’s Donuts delivered 33 dozen donuts to Grove City College.

Why the sudden influx of high quality fried dough pastries? Simple, it’s for the children.

Hannah Finley and Alison Horner, two senior education majors, chose to do their senior project on child hunger.

The assignment was to pick a topic they were passionate about and then affect that topic in a positive way. They came across an incident in Maryland. A school lost their funding for a backpack program and 60 kids went hungry because of it.

After doing more research on child hunger, they decided to raise money for Blessings in a Backpack.

Blessings in a Back-

pack is a non-profit organization dedicated to feeding impoverished children on the weekends. They recognize the fact that kids go to public school and are given food to eat, but over the weekend, many children go hungry.

As their website says, “Hunger doesn’t take weekends off.” With this in mind, Blessings in a Backpack works to provide food for poverty-stricken, elementary-age children on the weekends.

They are supported by churches, other organizations, and even some big brand companies like Walmart.

Finley and Horner contacted Oram’s Donuts and they agreed to donate 33 dozen donuts, almost 400 donuts, to sell at Grove City College in order to raise money for Blessings in a Backpack.

The seniors planned to have donuts available for pre-order and then for sale once the donuts were delivered.

They ended up selling all 33 dozen donuts in pre-order alone and made almost $400 for Blessings in a Backpack.

It costs about $100 to feed one child every weekend for an entire school year. With the

money raised, just over three kids won’t have to worry about what they will eat on the weekends for an entire school year.

Hannah Finley and Alison Horner thank Oram’s Donuts for providing the food, and they thank all those who donated. For those interested in donating more to the cause, email Alison Horner at horneram1@gcc.edu.

This was a great opportunity for Grovers to eat great donuts, but it was also an amazing way to help others. We’ve all skipped lunch because we forgot to eat, or had too much to do, these kids skip lunch because they don’t have lunch.

Thanks to Hannah Finley, Alison Horner, and Oram’s Donuts three more kids will be fed and well-nourished for the week to come.

Commencement speaker again brings controversy

Last week, the College released its decision to bring in renowned astronaut Jeffrey Williams, the man who holds the NASA record for the longest time in space for an American man.

This decision, on the heels of a controversial selection for the 2017 commencement speaker Vice President Mike Pence, has again left some students stunned by the selection of another man who represents controversial ideals.

We decided to dig deep and ask the hard questions that no one

else is willing to ask.

Questions like, were astronauts ever real?

Has man ever actually been to space? Are we just pawns in the government’s larger plan to assert the dominance of the United States over Russia?

Merriam Webster defines “astronaut” as a person who travels beyond the earth’s atmosphere. But since man has never actually been to the moon, how is it that we are hosting an ‘astronaut’ for the Commencement?

We hit the streets to answer these questions and to gauge students’

reactions. Not surprisingly, the socially aware campus has come alive at the prospect of fresh controversy.

One freshman, who wished to remain anonymous said, “I just don’t understand why the college would bring someone in who so blatantly represents big government and deception, things so against what the college stands for.” Many members of the senior class plan on making their voices heard.

Class representative Samuel Butler plans on, “making sure everyone at that com-

mencement knows that space landing is a fraud and the government is lying to its people.” Signs have already been made, with impactful and pithy statements like “JET FUEL CAN’T MELT STEEL BEAMS” and “THERES NO WIND ON MOON” promise to evoke fear and uncertainty into the those who believe the lie.

Will this become another obstacle for the campus to overcome for the sake of a cohesive ideology?

Stoich-ed for chemistry

Emilia England Staff Writer

CHEM 102 students have been preparing for the 19th annual Chem Show since the beginning of February.

The Chem Show, today at 11 a.m. in Crawford Auditorium, is a series of science experiments presented by the Chemistry 102 students.

The theme this year is Around the World.

Audience members will be taken all over the world by the presenters as they appreciate

the chemistry demonstrations performed by the students. Students from Grove City College are welcome and encouraged to join in the fun. However, the targeted audience consists of elementary and middle-school aged kids in the Grove City Area.

These kids will arrive on campus the day of the show and will head to an area where they can enjoy the company of some college students and wait to be taken to Crawford where the show will take place.

Sprint for the cure

In Crawford, the kids will be entertained by 10 different experiments and various skits scattered throughout the show by the emcees.

When remembering last year’s Chem Show, Harry Buehrle, one of the sophomore chairs of the Chem Show, said, “It was great to watch all my friends explain their experiments and interact with the kids.”

Finally, there is a reflection booth for participants to pray over all that they have reflected on over the course of their time. Participants are encouraged to pray on these issues even though many of the topics are removed from what goes on in the daily life of the typical Grover.

Each topic has a special significance in the life of the church and is something that SMF sees as being central to the health of the church globally. According to Schonewald, the passion of this group is to make Grove City “a place where men and women of God are raised up to share the good news of the gospel with those around them, no matter where they are placed.”

The Grove City community will come together Wednesday to run and donate. The race costs $15 to participate and all proceeds go to Grove City Hospital Lifeline Medical Services.

The goal is to raise as much money as possible for the organization.

Sophomore Katherine Morrison, race coordinator for the event said, “Last year, nearly 100 runners participated. We raised over $500.”

It is also a good chance for Grove City College to give back to the community.

Because of all the resources needed for the experiments and the show itself, everyone had to pitch in to raise money for the event.

Runners will be able to enjoy cooler temperatures because the event is later in the evening as well as enjoy the scenery while they run or walk.

Traditionally the event began at 7p.m. but this year the groups are moving the start time back one half hour so it does not conflict with the softball game.

“What’s great about this event is that it involves the whole community, not just GCC students. Anyone is welcome to participate, and we have runners come from all over the state,” Morrison said.

Staff Writer The Pennsylvania Collegiate Music Educators Association (PCMEA) recognizes the importance of music on our campus.

PCMEA hopes to provide Grove City College students resources that will enable them to grow as musicians and educators. The president of PCMEA, Maria Berezny, said, “We hope to spread awareness about the importance of music in education both inside and outside of the music classroom.”

Those who participate in PCMEA have the opportunity to attend the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association Convention (PMEA), take part in workshops, and receive discounted tickets to operas, plays, and other performances.

Although the group

mainly targets those pursuing music education, membership in PCMEA has something to offer everyone on campus. Education majors can glean a lot from learning about the teaching techniques of music education. Musicians on campus can also benefit from the community and many networking opportunities PCMEA offers.

PCMEA also serves

ensemble performers on campus. Through PCMEA, parents of students can send flowers and chocolates at performances. “This is especially meaningful to students whose families cannot make it to performances due to distance or conflict,” says Berezny.

Any student, regardless of major, can join PMEA. Currently PCMEA is not recruiting

new members. However, keep a watch for their membership drive coming this fall.

Entertainment AEX Live comes alive

From The 1975 to Disney mash-ups, AEX Live provides great entertainment for music lovers of every genre.

Handing out complementary soft pretzels and root beer floats, the brothers of the Alpha Epsilon Chi housing group kept the crowds streaming through Breen Student Union for the entertainment all Saturday evening.

AEX Live is much more than the usual coffee houses the Student Government Association holds every month.

“AEX Live was a great time for everyone on campus. It’s a really great opportunity for students to come together as a community, take a break from their work and have fun listening to music,” sophomore AEX member Andrew Furjanic said.

When asked why he liked AEX live, sophomore AEX member Evan Kiska said, “I would say that AEX Live is one of my fa-

vorite events that AEX does. It was encouraging to see all the people who came out for the event and we’re always very grateful for Media

This special event, which has been a tradition on campus for the

The game is over

Paige Kraynak Staff Writer

Gaming not only raises spirits, but also raises funds.

The Delta Iota Kapa fraternity and Sigma Delta Phi sorority hosted the Multiplayers for Military Fundraiser Saturday in Ket Rec. This event was to raise money for an organization called Operation Supply Drop—which delivers video game care packages overseas to active duty members in the military as well as assists the actives’ families and veterans.

This organization began in 2010 as a way to give active soldiers a taste of home and they have expanded over the past eight years.

As of 2016, they have surpassed 120,000 service members, veterans and family members served. This is the second year the fraternity has held this event and they managed to raise $45 overall (considering they only charged $0.25 per game).

Many local businesses in the area donated for this cause as well.

Those who attended were given free pizza and the winners of the games were given tickets that could win them gift cards! Sweet Jeanies, Beans on Broad, Collage Coffee, Rachel’s Roadhouse and Coffaro’s Pizza all donated to the event.

Senior Margaret Blume attended the event and had a fun time playing the games for a good cause. “I thought it was a cool interactive event with actual incentives to play games! Also, the cause related to the actual event because it was sending game controllers to military men abroad!”

The fraternity brought in multiple game consoles and TVs for the event. They had a SNES port system, which allowed users to play Tetris, Contra, the Original Mario Kart, etc.

There were over 12 games to choose from, including Fortnite, Super Smash Brothers, Pac-Man and Mortal Combat X. For those who are not the most familiar with the games,

the brothers walked around and helped teach players how to use the controllers and the moral of the games.

The Sigma Delta Phi sorority helped the fraternity by making posters, setting up and sharing the event with others on campus. The two Greek groups have worked together before, but this was the first year that the sorority was involved with this specific charity.

Junior Elijah Gersims has been actively involved with this fundraiser for the past two years as a DIK brother and said, “It was awesome to have such an amazing group of sisters working with us to create such a fun environment for a fundraising event!” The atmosphere was fun and competitive as everyone had partaken in the games.

Glee Club will be busy this weekend. They will perform at Alpha Sigma Unplugged and have their own concert at 2 p.m. Saturday in PEW Recital Hall.

Oh, blast them all

Aly Kruger Sports Editor

Grove City College Men’s Glee Club takes the stage for their semester concert this Saturday in the recital hall at 2p.m. Following a successful year of shows and practices, it is sure to be a big hit.

The GCC Glee Club is a student-directed men’s group of singers who perform at various places around campus throughout the school year. Any male can try out at the beginning of the year, and, if accepted, become a member of Glee Club for the remainder of that year.

The group is entirely student-run and focuses on the talent of the student singers and the potential they have to become excellent musi-

cians. This Saturday is the main concert of the year for this group, for which the members of Glee Club are extremely excited.

“It’s one of my favorite things,” said junior Jonny Beranek, who is in charge of public relations. “We get to sing all of the music we’ve been preparing for the whole year.”

The men are directed by senior Jim DeVries, and are headed by senior president Adam Lowe. One of the things that makes Glee Club so unique is the desire and the joy the men get out of performing.

“I think that not only do we sound good, we love performing as well,” said Beranek.

Another factor that contributes to the unique nature of the

group is that it is the only all male singing group on campus, but also the only group on campus not led by a faculty member. This offers a unique perspective for the members, who learn what it is like to lead and be a part of a group entirely dependent on themselves, and not an advisor or faculty member.

The best thing about being in Glee Club, apart from performing for a variety of audiences throughout the year, is the element of unity within the group.

“Probably the community at practices by the end of the year,” said Beranek when asked about his favorite part about the group, “and the sick harmonies.”

Macaroni and cheese-off raises funds to feed hungry Madison Stout

Entertainment Editor Using spare change, students will be able to vote for their favorite mac ‘n’ cheese dish made by professors.

The sisters of the Gamma Chi sorority will be hosting the first mac ‘n’ cheese bake-off in the student union from 3-5 p.m today.

For just $2 students will be able to taste a variety of professor’s homemade mac ‘n’ cheese. Each $2 donation will provide five meals for kids through the organization Remember the Poor.

Remember the Poor is a non-profit orga-

nization started by Rosanne Howell and is the official charity of the Gamma Chis.

Howell, the head of Remember the Poor, grew up as a missionary kid and lived for several years in Kenya. During her stay, she saw the extreme poverty and numerous homeless youth. These kids had been abandoned by their parents or abused and now live on the streets.

The country is overrun with street children.

These kids often turn to prostitution in order to feed themselves and get addicted to sniffing glue in order to stay warm and numb their hunger.

“I wanted to get fried Mac ‘n’ cheese from Sheetz to sell in the SAC but I didn’t know if it would be the best cost effective idea. So I asked a bunch of professors to “donate” homemade macaroni that we could sell. I thought it would be fun to have it as a competition and give a small prize to the winner.” Kowalick said.

Last semester, Alyssa Kowalick, philanthropy chairwoman for the Gamma Chi sorority, sold Christmas Ornaments with her mental health advocacy club, Stigma, to profit this same group.

Kowalick said her sorority “just wanted to

do an event for charity and show our support and love for Rosanne.”

Remember the Poor gives these street children a place to live, food and teaches them about Jesus. There are currently two villages, one for boys and one for girls, both called the God is Love villages.

There are 40 kids living in each village and the change these villages has made on their lives is evident. They get new clothes, get to a healthy weight and get over their addictions.

Remember the Poor has not only helped these children’s physical needs but also their emotional and spiritual

needs. These kids and receive counseling from social workers and they have become deeply devoted to God. They wake each other up in the morning by singing hymns and have bible studies together.

“My goal for this event is to engage students and professors in making a difference in our community and in the world. We do a lot of charity work at this school but often times you cannot see the impact you are making.”

Kowalick said.

40 cents provides one child with a meal, $35 feeds a child for a full month and if the sorority raises $95 they can

provide one child with total care.

“I hope that God will use this event to provide as much money as Rosanne’s charity needs right now and that it would be a life giving, encouraging time for the professors who have selflessly sacrificed their time and energy to do this.” Kowalick said.

The event is a way to provide food for these kids and help continue the work of Remember the Poor. If you want more information about Remember the Poor, go to rememberthepoorinc.org.

The Swing Dance Club hosted its annual Sock Hop Dance at Sweet Jeanie’s this year. The 50s themed dance attracted a sell-out crowd of 80 swing dancers, including some alumni. They sported suspenders, bow ties, polka dots and ribbons while they enjoyed dancing and ice cream from 8 to 11 p.m. on Saturday. Freshman Jared Kettinger said, “Sweet Jeanie’s was a great venue.

It’s always fun to dance off campus, plus I got to try their chai flavored ice cream.”

The show-stopping studio has just reached the ten year mark. Marvel Studios has recently released “Thor Ragnorak” and “Black Panther.”

“Avengers: Infinity War” comes to the big screen Friday.

Marvel looks back, forward

James Sutherland Managing Editor

Marvel Studios is releasing “Avengers: Infinity War” Friday, marking the studio’s 10th anniversary and ushering in its next era.

The capstone of the studio’s first decade, “Infinity War” is the 19th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). That decade has seen an immense shift in the landscape of movies, as Marvel grew from an upstart backwater to maybe the most dominant studio in the business.

The MCU is now the most profitable movie franchise in history, having earned nearly $15 billion at the box office (the next closest is the Star Wars franchise, at just $9 billion), and has inexorably changed the very nature of the blockbuster movie and franchise.

To understand what has made Marvel so successful, you first have to understand superhero movies in 2008, when Marvel broke onto the scene with its first movie, “Iron Man.” The superhero genre

had long embraced the light, campy tone of the comic books and early superhero TV shows.

That started to change, however, in the early 2000s, as superhero movies grew more serious, in tone and in craft.

Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy was the hallmark of this trend, culminating in “The Dark Knight.” The middle film of the trilogy, “Dark Knight,” was released two months after “Iron Man.” Widely considered the greatest superhero movie of all time, “Dark Knight” is a masterpiece, with brilliant performances (Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart and Gary Oldman are all superb) of a fantastic script, led by an elite director in his prime.

The movie is a serious work that strives to go beyond commercial success and make a film that has artistic meaning and significance.

The commercial and critical success of “Dark Knight” led to a wave of superhero movies that tried to emulate Nolan’s film, by making darker, weightier movies with

conflicted anti-heroes instead of clean-cut heroes.

While every other studio in Hollywood was taking their superhero movies darker and more serious, Marvel went the opposite way.

“Iron Man” set the template for a Marvel movie, with a mildly interesting plot paired with entertaining action and visuals, all built around a charismatic and lighthearted lead.

Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr., was never the conflicted, torn character that Nolan’s Batman was. Sure, he changed and grew throughout the movie, but Tony Stark is still the arrogant, flippant playboy at end of “Iron Man” that he was at the beginning.

Stark/Iron Man is perpetually irreverent; even in the most intense, climatic action scenes he is making quips and jokes.

Marvel has reused this mold with incredible success, basically copy and pasting Iron Man into different characters in different movies.

The studio’s immense

success also came down to its control and planning over its releases.

Back in 2008, no one really thought about a “cinematic universe,” where multiple movies and characters crossover and tie together.

It just seemed too hard and complex to pull off.

And yet, Marvel did it. Marvel has been able to pull together different heroes, stories and movies into crossover movies that serves as both ends of overarching stories and starting points for new ones.

In 2012 the studio released “The Avengers,” a massive hit that validated Marvel’s project and gave the studio unprecedented capital to proceed.

To pull off a cinematic universe like Marvel has, each movie had to fit into a greater plot and continuity. To ensure this, and to ensure a level of quality and create a distinct style, Marvel has always exerted a great deal of control over its movies.

It gives directors some leeway to bring their distinctive tastes to projects, but the studio has final say on ev-

ery point of production: plot, casting, visuals and the rest.

This control has angered some of the studio’s directors: Jon Favreau, Joss Wheedon and Edgar Wright all parted ways with Marvel after feeling boxed in by its requirements.

The same control, however, has allowed Marvel to ensure a level of quality in all of its movies. Very few of the 19 entries in the MCU are unwatchable; they are all at least competently made and mildly interesting.

“Infinity War,” like its predecessor Avengers movies, will close an era of the MCU and begin another. The whole first decade of Marvel’s existence has been leading to this story, and this movie. The studio has indicated that it will start to retire or kill off the current Avengers, as the actors’ contracts run out, and replace them with the next generation of heroes: Black Panther, Spiderman, Dr. Strange and more.

“Infinity War,” then, has more riding on it than any other Marvel movie.

Try Me: Slippery Rock’s Yumberries fancy froyo Danielle Smeltzer Contributing Writer

With the weather slowly becoming warmer, we will hopefully soon be emerging from the frozen tundra of Grove City and blossoming into spring.

On the long-awaited warm afternoons, there is nothing better to do than to sit outside with an ice-cold treat. During our lovely 70 degree weather last weekend, a couple friends and I decided to do exactly that.

We wanted to try something new, so we decided to visit Yumberries, a frozen yogurt shop located on Slippery Rock’s South Main Street. The froyo was cheap and tasted great.

We also got a ten percent discount for showing our student IDs. The shop has twelve flavors of frozen yogurt that rotate regularly. During our visit, the flavors were mostly dessert-themed.

They had cinnamon bun, cookies and cream, orange creamcicle and espresso, just to name a few. Customers grab a bowl and fill it with whatever flavors they want and however much they want. The more adventurous customers among us tried daring mixes of orange creamcicle and peanut butter, and other equally questionable combinations.

But others, like myself, played it safe and

got flavors that complemented each other nicely. If it’s available during your visit, I highly recommend the cookies and cream; it’s a classic, but also delicious and it goes well with any of Yumberries’ selection of toppings.

After selecting their favorite flavors of frozen yogurt, customers can venture to the two different stations for toppings. There’s anything from cereal to gummy bears and whipped cream.

They also have many strange choices for the more diversified palette, including something called boba balls, jelly-like balls filled with fruit juice. I tried one of the blueberry

variety and they tasted okay, but have an unusual texture. However, for those wanting to try something new, I would definitely grab them.

Yumberries is brightly decorated and gives off a quirky yet trendy vibe inside. The shop doesn’t have much indoor seating, but there are benches outside (great on a warm spring day). Yumberries’ is located on South Main Street in Slippery Rock and makes for a nice change of pace if you want to get off campus.

Finally, the price of the frozen yogurt from Yumberries is fantastic. After creating our masterpieces (or monstrosities) we took our

bowls to the cashier to be weighed. The price is based on how much a bowl weighs though the price doesn’t vary too much. None of us paid over six dollars for our desserts, which was a steal for how much yogurt we got.

Overall, our experience at Yumberries was fantastic. The frozen yogurt was excellent, the price was great and there is a lovely ten percent discount for students. So the next time we finally get a nice weekend consider visiting Yumberries in Slippery Rock for delicious frozen yogurt.

Every year, I hear people complain that there is nothing to do in Grove City. Here is your one stop shop for everything happening on campus and around the town.

Campus is providing another great way to praise God with others on campus and earn chapel credit.

Grove City College’s foreign language honor-

ary, Alpha Mu Gamma, is organizing and sponsoring International Praise and Worship. It will take place at 7 p.m.

Thursday in Rathburn Hall.

International Praise and Worship is an event where much of the praise service

is in different foreign languages. There will be Bible readings, worship songs and prayer.

In the past, about 100 students and faculty have attended and the honorary hopes to increase attendance every year.

“I look forward to the praise service every year during my four years at the college, particularly because I’m passionate about the compassion and understanding of cultures,” senior President Aubrey Moore of Alpha Mu Gam-

ma, said of the event.

“I find it so beautiful to witness how language and cultures combine to unite and create a powerful and unforgettable experience for the campus community,” she continued.

Moore encourages ev-

eryone to attend this opportunity to worship together as a campus in other languages. If you are interested in participating in the event in a foreign language, contact Moore at MooreAF1@gcc.edu.

Perspectives Asking who’s who

April 20, 2018

Hannah Lanning Contributing Writer

Being a twin is pretty normal. You do the exact same things a normal “non-twin” would do.

You wake up, go to classes, eat lunch and dinner and call your parents. You don’t dress the same or date the same people. You don’t even feel like you look identical to another person, until someone breaks the silence with a question. And it’s about time someone addressed those annoying questions.

It starts with something as simple as taking classes at school with my twin. If I have one teacher a semester and then the same teacher has my twin the next, I will go into school the following day and have that awkward conversation that goes like, “oh hey Hannah, I didn’t know you had a twin!” And to this day, I still don’t know how to reply to that.

Do I say, “oh yeah [insert awkward laugh]”?

Do I make a joke out of it? Do I just awkwardly smile and nod and wait for the conversation to end? Most of the time, I choose a combination of the first and third option where I just say “oh yeah’ and awkwardly laugh, while simultaneously trying to figure out a way to get out of the conversation.

It gets even more awkward as the conversation goes on, though.

The teacher tries to make some sort of conversation with you and it just never works out because you don’t know what to tell them. Do I say, “oh yeah, she’s been with me my whole life”? It ends up with you just standing there awkwardly with an awkward look on your face while your teacher just starts talking about random things that you can’t pay attention to because all you’re thinking about is leaving the conversation.

But it wasn’t always this awkward. When growing up in a public

school where you just moved in first grade, those questions were hilarious. It was fun to point to your twin, laugh, and say “she’s definitely the dumb one,” or “she’s the messy one”.

And yes, there would be an occasional instance when people would ask “if your twin is sad, are you sad?” or “if I punch her leg, can you feel the pain?”

The answer is no. We are not connected. We are simply two individuals who just happen to come from the same egg.

It’s basically me asking if I punch you in the

leg will your grandma feel it. See? No correlation whatsoever.

The truth is, these questions will never go away. Not when you go to a different middle school, not as you join a different club off campus and not even when you go off to college.

They will possibly stop when you’ve moved onto different things outside of each other, but then again, maybe not.

I will probably never understand why people think it’s funny to ask “who’s the smart one”, or “who’s the evil one”.

There’s nothing that makes it more irritat-

ing to have a twin, than people who see us as a constant comparison to the other.

Or even worse, a carbon copy of the other.

So please, do us twins a favor and please don’t ask us weird questions or put us in awkward positions because frankly, I don’t know how to respond.

It gets old quickly, and makes me feel like my identity is somehow tied to someone else because they look like me.

Just like sitting in smaller-than-life plastic chairs, jokes about twins are only cute when you’re in elementary school. Thank you.

Where’s Congress in wake of Trump The news that President Donald Trump authorized the U.S. military to strike a Syrian chemical manufacturing facility is hardly surprising. Even without the potential incentive to distract the news media from Robert Mueller’s investigation and the next phase of James Comey’s “Buy My B o o k ! ” tour, almost any president would want to strike at Bashar alAssad after his repeated uses of chemical weapons on his own people— especially his country’s children.

And yet, there is something deeply troubling, or something that should be troubling, about the president’s willingness to start a war on his own authority. Make no mistake, launching missiles at a dictator who is backed

by Russia is the equivalent of starting a war, and it quite obviously raises the stakes of our ongoing confrontation with Russia.

Why is this problematic? Most obviously, because our increased military activity in Syria makes it more likely that our armed forces will end up in a shooting conflict with Russian forces which could quickly escalate into a much larger war. But the deeper problem is one of constitutional justification. The Constitution is quite clear that only Congress has the authority to declare war. The Founders

NBCNEWS.COM

deliberately used the phrase “declare war” instead of “make war” for two reasons. First, they did not want Congress to think that it was in charge of actually directing a war effort. No one wants generals taking orders from a committee. Second, they wanted the president to be able to response to sudden invasions or rebellions—to act in national self-defense.

But they relied on the requirement that Congress had to first initiate war by “declaring” it to rein in the natural aggressiveness of the presidency. Wars are costly, in both blood and treasure, and they have a nasty way of escalating from small wars to big ones (see Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc.)

Despite this, both Trump and his immediate predecessor, Barack Obama, have initiated “small” wars without consulting Congress.

Obama dodged the con-

stitutional requirement when he began a war in Libya by relying on the fiction that it was a “military kinetic action” rather than a war, and that it was authorized

by NATO, as though NATO could replace the will of Congress. Arguably, partly because of the need to maintain the deception that an air bombing campaign was not a real war, Obama refused to put sufficient troops in Libya, which partially contributed to the disaster at Benghazi in 2012 when Ambassador Stevens was murdered. Similarly Trump has now launched two separate air strikes at Assad in Syria, one last year and one this weekend, in response to Assad’s atrocities.

Trump and Obama’s willingness to go it alone can, perhaps surprisingly, be contrasted to that of Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush. Bush started two large scale wars, in Afghanistan and

Iraq, but in both cases he went to Congress and received congressional authorization before landing troops or launching missiles.

This matters, not just because it holds to constitutional forms, but because those constitutional forms are important for democratic governance. When a president goes to Congress to get permission to go to war he has to show evidence that he is justified in doing so.

Congress has to weigh that evidence and act. If the president lies about that evidence, he can be held accountable later.

When a president skips those steps, there is no real accountability. He is not acting as a constitutional president, but as a dictator.

And yet such behavior is distressingly common in recent years.

Why? Because our Constitution is not selfactivating. The ghost of James Madison does not rise from his grave

with a sword to stop a presidential abuse of power. Instead, the Founders intended the three branches, and especially the two elected branches, to restrain each other from abuse.

But if Congress is unwilling to act when the president violates his authority, there is no meaningful check on him.

So what could Congress do? Its members could debate and vote to authorize war. Alternatively, they could defund part of the military to make it harder for Trump to act on his own or they could refuse to act on another part of Trump’s agenda until he sought congressional support for a war. But in order for Congress to pursue any of these options, the members first have to recall that they serve an institution, not merely a party. They are responsible for acting in the interest of the Congress, not simply agreeing or disagreeing with Trump on partisan grounds.

So where does the Congress go from here?

The odds of members of Congress recognizing their own constitutional responsibilities seem slim. They seem intent on pursuing partisan differences rather than preserving institutional integrity. But our members of Congress do have options—they are not helpless bystanders.

Three years in and no regrets

Rio Arias

Perspectives Editor Being a Grove City College student, there was a big shift from what I was used to and what my college experience became.

I always envisioned myself as someone who would have a ton of friends, a major that I loved, was on track to have my dream job and had a happy balance between schoolwork and clubs. Instead, I became someone who has considered changing my major or minor a number of times, became president of the two organizations most important to me in college and had a rather hard time making friends.

Likewise, what I wanted to do with my life changed drastically, as well as the way I saw social, political and cultural issues. How did I get here? As I begin to

GCC

wrap up my junior year, this kind of reflection is something that I think all students should do: evaluating and appreciating the people our time in college has shaped us into.

The first thing that affected me was a series of “shocks.” I didn’t instantaneously make friends on my hall or with my roommates, or even on my floor. I didn’t even have any friends when I moved in, so I felt lost when everyone was talking about their siblings and family friends at col-

lege. And forget Greek life: what were all the different groups? How were you supposed to get to know your lifelong friends in a month or two? It was all so overwhelming.

I also felt the effect of being physically different than everyone else. It was hard to wake up every day and go to class; everywhere I turned, no one even looked like me. I was used to eating different food the cafeteria didn’t serve, and the music people listened to in college felt foreign.

And to top all of this, I hadn’t met anyone who had such a strong feeling of displacement as I did.

I also began to verbally process everything I felt. I befriended other college students who weren’t legacies, and came to college and were also disappointed with things like grades or friends. I met a sorority who was really nice to me, and even though I stayed independent my freshman year, it really impacted me and eventually influenced my decision to

join a sorority my sophomore year. I joined a diversity club and even got to speak at chapel for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I started writing for the newspaper about all of the things I cared about, and my favorite section to write for was Perspectives, because for the first time I had an outlet to talk about all of the things I cared about.

And though I did these things just to stay afloat, I was in turn offered leadership in all of the things I loved. My sophomore year, I was offered leadership in the diversity club, and I became the youngest section editor on the Collegian staff that year, for my favorite section. Then a year after joining my sorority I was voted president, and became the president of the diversity club at the same time, two responsibilities that mean the world to me. And I’m still here writing for the newspaper, something that has

positively impacted my life more than words can say.

So is this story all about having a happy ending in college? Of course not, it’s still Grove City. I still wake up for 8ams in the snow, miss food from home and occasionally have people laugh at the music I listen to. I still have to interact with professors who grade too harshly, and tell the class they should just study harder. And there aren’t that many people here who look like me either, even after two years.

But this is a testimony to the fact that things do get better, and God puts us somewhere for a reason. Coming to Grove City College wasn’t a mistake, even though it’s probably the hardest thing I’ve done to date. It’s just another chance for God to show me how to lean on Him even more, and that I can grow more than I could have ever imagined.

Editorial: Never grow up “Wow, look how big you’ve gotten? What grade are you in now?”

“Oh my! I remember when you were this big. Look at how you’ve grown!”

We’ve all heard these lines from distant relatives and family friends. We’ve grown up and now we’re in college, where things have changed.

Not only do we have the responsibility of school weighing on our shoulders, but also burdens like paying for college, books, food and outings with friends.

When did this start?

When did we grow up enough to have to handle loans and liabilities, paychecks and payments?

Perhaps, it was when we went to college. Or maybe when we got a job over the summer, or throughout the semesters.

Or maybe we became independent

when we realized that our parents are human too, just like us.

We stop relying on our parents or our guardians when something happens and we finally see our parents struggle. We watch a parent lose a job, fail to get a loan, bounce a check or crumble at the loss of a family member.

After this happens, we cannot bring ourselves to rely on our parents, because they are preoccupied with 1000 other things in their own lives.

All of a sudden, we now assume responsibility for our finances, transportation and relationships, and figure out any complications along the way.

We grew up in the blink of an eye, and sometimes – or maybe all the time – we wish we could go back.

We want to drop out of college, move back home, shave 10 years

off of our life and have our biggest worries be which toy we will play with.

Instead of that, we can pull ourselves up, dust off our exhaustion, worries and confusion and remember that growing up is ordained by God. When Abraham was told to go to Canaan, the very next words say that he went. There was no conversation between him and God where Abraham says “No, God, I can’t handle this. I am not responsible enough for this.” Sure, Abraham was imperfect, don’t forget about Ishmael.

But in this moment, Abraham knew the promise of God and went.

We now are old enough to go. Instead of crumbling under the pressures of adult life, just go. The Lord promises to go with you.

Grove City Pet Rescue gives the opportunity for volunteers to come and spend time with the cats they foster. Grove City College students often endure the stress and anxiety that petting a feline friend can soothe.

I wish more people on campus knew about this opportunity to serve orphaned cats and take a break from the strain of academics.

I first became involved in volunteering at the pet shelter by accompanying members of my sorority, Sigma Delta Phi. We organized to visit one Saturday afternoon to pay the fostered animals some attention. The shelter is about a five-minute drive from campus.

The workers were relaxed and friendly and encouraged us to climb into the cats’ large cages and play with them.

Usually there were about two or three cats in one cage and a plethora of toys to keep them

engaged. I had three cats climbing over me, one of whom was blind but stubborn for my attention.

Being so far away from my own pets, I appreciated the opportunity to stroke a cat as it snuggled into my lap and forget about my worries for an hour. It felt good knowing my presence was having a positive influence on them. Moreover, being in their company was having a great impact on my mood and perspective.

Not only is loving an animal a perfect distraction from the routine stresses of life, the act allows you to focus your time, energy and attention on something other than yourself. I often find mulling over the various difficulties and challenges of life not only exhausting but also unproductive. By taking care of another creature –even if it’s just to show it affection for a few minutes— you focus less on the problems that plague you and more on what you’re missing: the outside world. It puts into perspective how small and inconsequential

some of your problems are.

This is particularly important because we tend to fixate on ourselves and our shortcomings, rather than viewing our challenges as college students and Christians as trials. Reaching out to animals and taking care of them is a reminder that God also cares for us, and that we are not meant to bear our burdens alone. By allowing ourselves to relax and enjoy the company of another one of God’s creations, it allows us both rest and peace, knowing we are not given anything in life we are not capable of handling. Everything, from the animals to the people we encounter, has a purpose.

I recommend volunteering at the Grove City Pet Rescue, not only for the cats but also for yourself. It is a great opportunity to engage in some local service and be a part of the Grove City community.

It is also a chance to take care of some furred friends, and allow them to take care of you as well.

Penguins triumph in playoffs

The men’s lacrosse team defeated Westminster 9-5 Wednesday, bringing their record to 7-5 overall and 4-3 in conference.

Men’s lax leads

Sarah Kula Staff Writer

The Grove City College men’s varsity lacrosse team lost to Hanover in an away game at Alumni Stadium on Saturday, before rebounding with a win over Westminer Wednesday.

The Wolverines are now 7-5 overall, and 4-3 in the Ohio River Lacrosse Conference.

Sophomore Henry Brannan led the team Wednesday with five goals on 23 shots.

Freshmen Aidan Morse, Andrew Kvasnovsky, Brandon Hayek and junior Nate Sprunk each scored a goal.

Junior Jeff Cypher,

who has competed on the team for the past three years, speaks very highly of the men’s lacrosse team, especially regarding their transition from a club sport to a varsity team.

Cypher states, “although varsity is a bigger commitment, it is completely worth it.”

The committed coaching staff, lacrosse gear and boost in the number of home games are all huge benefits to becoming a varsity-level team.

Coach Alec Jernstedt, the new head coach for the men’s lacrosse team, has brought a lot to the program during this year. Cypher, speaking to Coach

Jernstedt’s accomplishments, states, “our team has improved greatly because of his attention to detail, helping us to become not only the best lacrosse players, but also the best men.”

Jernstedt prepares for games by reminding the players of whom they ultimately play for, encouraging them to strive for greatness.

More than that, a total of four coaches allows for more oneon-one time between coaches and players.

Defense, midfield and attack players can get help during each practice.

Cypher is eager to see the growth of the team as he states, “this is only

year one of the varsity lacrosse program and I believe that [the coaches] will lead the team to great success.”

This program is successful because of goals that the team instituted at the beginning of the season. These goals, over 20 in total, involve the team both on and off the field. Most of the goals involve game statistics, including the hope to make the conference tournament and achieve a 50 percent winning percentage.

Cypher states, “We hope to be a team that surprises a lot of people this year. We also hope to be a team that plays to glorify God.”

Baseball and football are merely placeholders in the Pittsburgh mind for the great dance of winter sport: hockey.

No heroes are hailed in the city of black and gold so much as the Pittsburgh Penguins.

As the spring melts through the last of the ice rinks, the Pens have a chance to do what no other hockey team has done for their city, which is bring home an unprecedented backto-back-to-back Stanley Cup trophy.

The Penguins can already go into the history books as one of the best and most successful teams to grace the ice.

Last season, the Pens became the first team to win consecutive Stanley Cups since the institution of the salary-cap.

The ability to build and keep a team sharp with the limitations of salary cap strategy is a legacy of its own, but the best are never satisfied with yesterday.

Now, the Pens take the ice for the third year in a row to move from landmark to legends.

The Nashville Predators, who were the last to meet the Penguins in icy combat, are the favorites to win this season, chased hotly by the Boston Bruins and the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Few have picked the Pens to make it all the way. Their regular season record is comparatively unimpressive, and they were forced to

play top-notch hockey to make it into a playoff spot.

The Pens are used to going into the championships with some general question marks. In their three most recent Stanley Cup wins, Pittsburgh has always faced scrutiny on their defensive end. This year is no different.

Goalie Matt Murray and the defense go into their opening series against the Philidelphia Flyers with one of the highest number of goals allowed in the NHL, allowing an average of three goals a game, but how does the adage go?

The best defense is a good offense.

That is never truer than in the case of the Penguins. In their first game against the Flyers, the Penguins exploded across the ice, lighting up the score board with seven points throughout the game.

Sidney Crosby scored a hat trick in the final period. His hat trick could be a sign of things to come. Expect the veteran team to perform at a championship level and bring the younger, hungrier skaters up the steps to another Stanley Cup. History is a slow process. The best moments sneak up slowly, and only are realized the possibility of greatness when it’s right there.

This year, the Penguins have a shot at doing much more than etching their name onto the bottom of a silver trophy yet again.

MacKenzie Stine Contributing Writer

Despite being 1-7 in the PAC conference and having three wins and 13 losses overall, the Grove City women’s softball team has a bright future with a strong, young team, following two losses on Thursday and a split at Bethany Wednesday night.

The Wolverines took two tough losses on the road against longtime rival Westminster April 12. Grove City lost 3-0 in the first game when the tying run was brought to the plate but could not score. In game two, the Wolverines took a 4-3 lead into the sixth inning with

runs scored by sophomore Sarah Eidle and senior Breanna Lent off of singles by sophomore Jen Kondraki.

Eidle scored a second time off a fielder’s-choice by senior centerfielder Micaela Cashmer. The Wolverine’s final run was scored by sophomore Liz Scherer on a single by freshman Miranda Griffith. However, Westminster was able to clinch the lead by scoring two unanswered runs in the sixth and seventh innings for a 5-4 victory.

Amid a hard-fought season, Grove City opened their home 2018 home schedule on Saturday with a double header against Saint

Vincent. Scherer was a critical player in the first game by hitting a two-run double that scored two of her teammates.

She then scored the Wolverines’ final run of the opening game.

Freshman pitcher Ashley Cornelius was another key player on Saturday with four strikeouts in seven innings.

Saturday also marked the Grove City Lady Wolverine’s Senior Day. The team will only be graduating two seniors this season. Lent and Cashmer were honored before the games on Saturday. Lent has 10 total runs on the season and Cashmer leads the team in stolen bases

with a total of two.

Other players to watch this season are Kondraki and Scherer who lead the team with 18 hits apiece.

Scherer also shares the No. 1 spot for runs scored with Eidle with 12 apiece. Cornelius has 29 strikeouts in her 10 appearances as a pitcher.

The softball team earned a split Wednesday afternoon in Presidents’ Athletic Conference action at perennial conference powerhouse Bethany. Grove City earned a 2-0 victory in the opener while Bethany secured a 9-1 victory in game two.

Freshman pitcher Ashley Cornelius fired a one-hit shutout in the

opener for Grove City.

Cornelius allowed only a bloop single in the fifth inning in earning her first collegiate shutout. She struck out five and walked two over seven innings.

Grove City broke a scoreless tie in the fifth inning when freshman DP Char-leigh Bates belted a solo home run to left. In the sixth inning, sophomore catcher Liz Scherer (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Allegheny) launched a solo homer to left as well, pushing the lead to 2-0. It is the first home run of the season for both hitters.

Senior center fielder Michaela Cashmer doubled for the Wolverines, who finished with six

hits.

Bethany limited Grove City to one hit in the second game. Grove City broke through in the third inning when Scherer doubled in freshman right fielder Hannah Dietz, cutting Bethany’s lead to 3-1. However, Bethany broke open the game with three runs in the fourth and three more in the fifth inning.

Freshman pitcher Ashley Vining pitched 4 1/3 innings for Grove City, allowing eight earned runs.
